Does invoking AWS CLI through serverless (OpenFaaS on Kubernetes) makes sense?
Because it was literally in the email that called for the protest. An email that was circulating around campus prior to the protest.

Because some of the protesters came forth to say that they had been misled about her:

> A number of students came up to me to say they had really had their minds opened by realizing what they’re told about someone might not at all be true.

This thread is a perfect example of why modern leftist criticisms ring so hollow. If this is such a complicated issue that HN readers are not qualified to even discuss it, why are you suddenly so inclined to give these students a pass that their protest was well-informed, despite strong evidence to the contrary?
Just because it was used on a few isolated occasions, but even then it was already well advancing on it's own. It was already a natural phenomenon.

The westerns saw the absolute devastation by their mere presences was causing unintentionally and occasionally decided to use it to their advantage purposefully...but I highly doubt that absent those occasions that we would have seen much different outcomes.

Absent total non-contact for the next two centuries...
We deploy to all major cloud providers and we need to frequently interact with them - thus we have containers for all the AWS, Azure and Google CLI. The clusters we deploy they have OpenFaaS deployed - and also the CLI container pod (we run everything in Kubernetes) for the particular cloud. When we need to fix/investigate an issue we need to get into the pod and use the CLI, etc - or SSH to a DMZ and install the CLI, add the credentials or IAM role, etc - so one idea was to wrap this into a function (as the example at end of the blog) and just be able to invoke any CLI command through the REST API (secured with OAuth2 tokens). I am less and less convinced that this is a good idea - any feedback?

Comments like yours are stupid and add nothing for these reasons:

1) A journalist or writer likely does not have technical control over their paper's website design. This is certainly true for someone writing for the NYT. They're not going to hold back their article because someone on the website team chose to use a product from the company they're critiquing.

2) Google, Facebook, etc. are so dominant that it's often not really possible to avoid them and their technology and still have a functioning business.

> What if automation and robotics made homesteading much easier, and more likely to succeed on land that was previously considered useless?

Then that land (if not already privately owned and actually available for homesteading) will be homesteaded, privatized, enter the land market, and not be rent-free land that is available. Just like the land that was attractive for homesteading in the past has been. Sure, its a one-time land-rush just like the initial homestead act, but after that the same forces of centralization of property that always work in a capitalist economy will work on it.

Last time I checked, printing out ballots and several boxes of pens are less than the cost of even a single machine.

The problem is not the cost, it's the process and the people making the decisions using the wrong criteria.
I'm not sure. The subtext is "monads are one of many clever ideas in Haskell that make it hard to use in practice." And thus it answers the very (very very) specific question posed by the article, just in a more general context: "Are Monads a waste of time?" "Yes, Haskell is not worth the effort."

This worries me. What if the intersection is clear but the joining roads are blind (as is often the case in old European cities). Could I cross the red light, get hit and then claim “well I was just following the Idaho stop... I’m not at fault here. The intersection was clear when I set off”?

I’m surprised about it being safer, and would be interested to see some stats on it. It could be more common in the US where cities are grids because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a near miss where a cyclist almost got rear ended in London. However, I do see a lot of cyclists getting cut off by buses and cars on corners and at junctions.
Depending on how representative your family is of the overall population, that could mean that the doomsday scenario for most people is already here.
A trifecta of failures: failure of capitalism to innovate its own self moderation from being inherently anti-competitive; failure of democracy which engages after the fact based on emotion and is reactionary; failure of meritocracy where elites hand out favors to "friendlies", lower the ladder of regulatory avoidance to some and not others, ergo the opposite of merit.

This is why we need more ethics, logic, rationality, and the promotion of epistemology as moderators. Capitalism, democracy, and meritocracy all in their own way are prone to people gaming the system, might making right.

The police don’t do that in the first place, it’s a paranoid myth that ignores the serious infringement on privacy in the UK.

Meanwhile those on an anonymity crusade have to show their phone provider legit ID (driving license, passport) to open up a porn blocker and provide every ID provider in the country evidence of where they’ve lived in 3 years in order to get anywhere. Meanwhile the police push for unfettered access to government databases.

The police aren’t stopping and searching because they need an ID card to ask for. They have plenty to go off already.

Or adopt a system with a sane versioning system and immutable artifacts, e.g. Maven Central.
The ability to depend on library versions that do not exist is a misfeature. It should not be possible for someone to build a new version of their software and cause your software to cease building or running.

This doesn't just result in non-reproducible builds, but it results in them at unpredictable times and, if you have servicing branches of your code, backward through time. This is not a good property if you need to know what you are building today is the same as what you built yesterday, modulo intentional changes, or even that it will build or run.
Considering there are existing and official dependency management tools for Go, the Go team doesn't need to be convinced that versioning is a good idea. This article is a discussion about mainlining a dependency management system as part of the existing `go` tool.

They're similarly aware that generics are a desirable thing to have, but haven't determined the ideal way to implement generics into the language.
Hmm that's not a bad looking watch.

More likely it's just that HipChat isn't a great product experience.

As an example, the only way to edit a message is to use a sed-style "s/foo/bar", which is absurd. Because of this, you can't edit messages other than the most recent one, and if you want to edit one instance of "foo" but not another instance of "foo" you're out of luck. That's a terrible piece of UX even if you're in the only subset of users (software devs familiar with sed-style search and replace) where it makes any sense whatsoever
It's funny how the problem is so _us_ this time. Turn a mirror on our souls and we lose nuance, mediums, neutrals, and common ground. "Ben Shapiro makes a good point" becomes "BEN SHAPIRO DESTROYS SUBHUMAN SCUM."

Who is that message for? It's not a discussion or debate, it's linguistic flashing lights to simulate a community around a simulated conflict. Youtube red, solving alienation in a more profitable way than the last red revolution.

The crime of social media is that they've created public solitary confinement. The internet is now a place where you go to be alone with your thoughts as simulated by companies. So boring.
This is a misleading title if I ever saw one, due to how it got cut off.

Any sources on that? I'm pretty sure it's a heavy re-architecting at the very least, but if it's the same team and lead, have they gone entirely from scratch or repurposed some of Hipchat's code? (just questioning)

I don't disagree on a lot of this but I'm willing to give businesses like Workday, Twilio and Salesforce more time to develop their business before saying the market has decided.

I had to look it up, but Twilio gross margins are healthy -- 55%. AWS expenses are not really a problem for a company like Twilio, their well publicized arrangement of relying on other large tech companies is a bigger threat.
Everytime i've heard any american talk about country clubs they were utterly awful places full of awful and ignorant people role-playing what they believe to be high status life in a very boring manner.

Thanks for trading in stereotypes and rendering judgements on that basis. My sister and I went there to use the pool in the summertime, and though he went for decades being the doctor who works so much, he never played golf, my father very much got into golf in his 60's. He even eventually became awarded as the most improved and developed a circle of good friends there. At one point, he did some social justice activism and shamed his friends for saying bigoted things, and at that point he was respected enough that they listened to him.

I think a bit of golf was well deserved by my father, as an immigrant who worked hard to accomplish the American Dream, and as a man who was once a child who lived through both the horrors of war and the horrors of foreign occupation.

As for why it's important to gain access to the places of high status: This is something which is regarded as important across many Asian cultures. Just who are you, precisely, to judge my culture? Also, stopping the exclusion of people from clubs on the basis of ethnicity was a result of Social Justice in decades past. Look up accounts of Jewish people being excluded from "restricted" clubs. This is also the present pursuit of social justice: gaining entrance for qualified people who were otherwise excluded on the basis of irrelevant immutable characteristics. So long as there is equality of opportunity on the basis of merit, this is a worthy goal.

>This series is brilliant. Why don't they teach computer science this way any more? I was so disappointed to learn that MIT switched from Scheme to Python in Programming 101.

That's one way to describe it, a better way might be that's its not bandwidth that limits remote working communication, but just a lack of features.

To loop this back to the topic at hand, the idea is that you need people in the same space to work effectively. That idea forces collections of people (cities) and drives up the value of the land (a fixed commodity). Having technology that removes the need to have the workforce physically opens up vast amounts of relatively cheap land to live on.
grzm is reposting a comment, taken out of context, from my comment history.

You're reticent to speak on some topics, which is your right, and I won't prod you about the reason you want to do things a certain way. I'd love to know why you want to keep homeschooling your kids and working four hours a day, but that's your business, not mine - and you've made your parameters clear.

Under those parameters, an alternative you might want to consider is hiring a tutor for your children, or forming some sort of cooperative with other parents who feel the same way you do. This would give you the flexibility to be more employable, while keeping to the spirit of your desires.

I guess.

And what about the claim that the Coens are thematically in debt to Leonard because they make movies about criminals undone by the complexity of crime? Look, for instance, at The Ladykillers, the Coen movie that most exemplifies this theme --- and a remake of a movie that predates Leonard's bibliography.

You can find any number of pieces on Coen influences; their diversity is supposedly a Coen strength. Blood Simple and Miller's Crossing, for example, owe much more to Dashiell Hammett.

Elmore Leonard is surely an influence (and, in particular, to Ethan Coen's published writing), but I don't think it's their most important. Surely, we'd have Coen movies without Leonard.

I don't know that you can say that about Tarantino.
> Simply giving people money, irrespective of the financing method, as most advocates of the "technological unemployment" thesis argue for, ignores the nature of rent.

Its not giving people money, its redistributing it. The total amount of money chasing land rents won't change by the full amount redistributed, so the whole amount won't go into increased rents. Who can rent how much will change, and that's pretty much (in the reductionist view you advance where all purchase of economic output amounts to land rent) the point.

> Thing about land is they aren't making it anymore.

This is false. Humans have been making new land for a long time, and aren't about to stop:

This is why I don't like math. I guess mathematicians write like that because it's faster to write on a blackboard. When I do it myself in code I always go back and rename those single letter variables to proper names. It forces me to know what the code actually resembles, not just a formula I learned by heart.
Not sure I get the context or how slack operates -- but wouldn't most of the big companies have functional tests already in place to catch erratic ML models in production. If they are deploying ML model for the first time for some new features, wouldn't they require to test the functionality and SLAs..

In our team we don't do full remote work, I don't know about other teams. You can occasionally do home office. I prefer being in the office for work for these reasons:

- different space for work and private life makes it easier to separate them
- being able to simply chat with colleagues a bit
- looking over problems together more easily
- get out of the house for a while, have a more regular daily routine
- free lunch ;)

Because you cannot discard more detail than what CT has chosen to discard. You start with objects and arrows, and how the arrows compose. Every object has an identity which is another arrow, so in some sense you have just a composition of arrows, and that's it. CT starts really simple, and I don't think there's anything left to hide or abstract.

"Scripting" vs coding is not a clear cut case also a lot of studios (back in the day that is, since now the unreal model is different and everyone has access to the source) had source access so games would usually make changes to the engine. 2 mil is just the base engine. There's of course loads of middleware and plugins and integration for it all, probably doubling the size and of course the "scripting" which adds complexity like anything else and it relies on support for things in the main codebase. Customising the engine is not a matter of tweaking variables but extending the base classes. And for game logic you might be writing completely separate systems with their own architecture.

Repos were big. Really big. Especially since we're talking about people who will check in FMVs into source control.

Ah... what a horrible world.
