Vault already did secrets.
Nothing stops you from writing an azure function to handle rotation, but you gotta build it yourself. AWS has BUILT IN support for RDS.

However, the biggest delta is: I'm like 90% sure Azure key vault doesn't have fine-grained access policy per VAULT. That kind of stinks.. you need a vault per role ideally.
Completely agree, especially in diverse communities (such as HN) where people are coming from sometimes wildly different paradigms to exchange ideas in an inefficient medium that omits all non-verbal communication (which I was talk in a communication class can be 80% of inter-personal communication).

I also wonder how much is because people don't read. I sometimes get replies to comments that don't even make sense based on what I said. People jump to conclusions and read what they think is being said rather than what is actually being said.
Tolkein said the Lord of the Rings wasn't an anti-war parable or allegory, although that's a valid interpretation, it's wasn't the author's intent. And the books had plenty of war and indiscriminate killing in them, being based as they were on Germanic and European mythologies which considered war a glorious and noble act.

Maybe in a thousand years Westerners will forget about Nazism and the swastika, but it doesn't necessarily follow that they will replace that knowledge with the Buddhist interpretation of the same symbol. Sure, stranger things have happened, it's not impossible, but it seems incredibly unlikely.

It's certainly not going to happen within my lifetime or yours.

>there has been a massive campaign to roll back what was called “Vietnam syndrome” — the idea that you should consider the morality of your actions and contributions to society, not mere legality.

Is that what is typically meant by "Vietnam syndrome"?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Syndrome

Also, isn't it a stretch to say Hollywood movies about WWII propagandize the idea one should only consider the legality of one's actions rather than the morality? If anything I would think most films attempt (in a sappy and trite way) to defend the rightness of the Allied cause.
The SafeNet product is now called "CloudHSM Classic". The current CloudHSM is documented to use the Cavium NITROX HSM, which in the PCI HSM format is partitionable into "virtual HSMs". This looks pretty much designed for cloud HSM providers.

Secrets Manager is very likely backed by KMS which appears to use a KMS-specific HSM module (judging by https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/projects/cryptographic-modu...)
Wow, 4500 nautical miles unrefueled. So the US West Coast to Europe and US West Coast to Oceania routes I fly most often might still be better-served by a nonstop flight on a 787 or similar.

In particular, losing the great circle route would be painful on the way to Europe.
I love how any defense of US military history often boils down to, “sure they did terrible things in the past, but we definitely learned from them.”

I’m sure people have been saying that for decades if not centuries. Terrible things just get declassified slowly so we only learn about them later.
I am from one of the country you listed above and it seems perfectly fine to me that Google comply with existing laws of respective countries even if they are in contradiction to US laws.
To be clear, this would be peanuts to my company. But it's super expensive for what it is especially because they have a free service that does the same thing right next to it.
> The idea that 'this is not a problem' is exactly the thing under dispute, so I don't think it should be cheerfully asserted.

There are sixteen million Americans with concealed-carry licenses, plus fourteen states that allow for "constitutional carry" (e.g., no license required).

(Keep in mind that I do think that we should require training and licensing for concealed carry, although this needs to be balanced with not imposing an undue economic burden or disenfranchising minorities)

According to the Violence Policy Center -- a very solidly anti-gun group -- there were 27 murders committed by licensed concealed carriers in 2017 across the United States. That's a murder rate of 0.16 per 100,000 people.

By comparison, the total UK murder rate for the same year was six times that.

Likewise, the Czech Republic, which also has a lower murder rate than the UK, has "shall-issue" concealed carry licensing for gun owners -- just like Texas -- and the majority of Czech gun owners have such a license.

I think it's fair to say that concealed carriers are not the problem.
Asians have higher incomes, higher educational achievement and longer expected lives than whites in the U.S.

The problem is not "compounding returns", it is genetics and, to a lesser extent, culture.

Until this fact, which most educated people know but are terrified to say aloud, is admitted and reckoned with, no progress will be made. This will hurt non-asian minorities the most.
Well, that is bizarre and somewhat horrific
My biggest problem with the article is that it doesn't even define "ICO". There's this whole community around cryptocurrency trading which seems to have popped up quite suddenly in just the past year or so, with their own jargon and memes.

I own small amounts of Bitcoin and Monero, I've been following the technology with interest for quite some time, and yet the whole "crypto" craze still seems like another alien world.
I think you need to double check those numbers. Last time I refilled a pool it was a maybe $250-$500, and that was with summer water rates in the middle of a desert. The average person's pool is definitely not 576,000 gallons (that's about 160 ft by 100 feet if your pool's mean depth is 5 feet). Even if it were, $8 per hcf seems high.

From what I've gathered, Cincom is really good but very expensive.

There are a variety of proprietary language vendors with great products (Cincom Smalltalk, Dyalog APL, Wolfram language that is part of Mathematica), but it is a weird sale in the modern age. Why use a better tool if you have to pay for it and your entire business's IP is tied to another company pulling the strings. Even if they promise their tools are 10x more productive, is the risk acceptable?
Not ask European toilets are enclosed to the same degree either. Many walls don't go all the way to the ceiling for example. This should enable sharing a fire extinguisher nozzle. Almost all of them have properly closing doors though.

> but if you've ever tried to write a compiler for Python or Ruby, you'll understand why they're often called "interpreted languages".

Why, I happen to have hacked on Lisp implementations. Including Thinlisp, which is a compiler for a non-garbage collected real time subset of Common Lisp. And what you say is still wrong.

An interpreter is not the same as a bytecode VM, and is not the same as native code compilation. And none of those things are a property of programming languages. The only programming languages where that might remotely be true are purely string-based ones like TRAC and maybe some of the term rewriting ones.

If that's the criterion, then vtables make C++ "interpreted."
Of course. JSON wasn’t popularized back then. But mostly it was about reloading parts of the page through DOM manipulation.
I'm just thinking of fun ways to build businesses around dispatchable, quick-ramping energy sinks that could serve in lieu of curtailment.

Obviously energy intensive businesses like aluminum smelting, chemical production, etc, but also things like refrigeration units running slightly more midday to produce chilled water and then idling until ~10pm, battery backups at datacenters being half way drained and then refilled off-peak, etc.
And even touch ID would have been a lot better to use if it was on one of the bottom-row buttons (e.g. cmd or option) instead.

I’m a non-tech savvy person who happens to work in tech. I find the touch bar very useful.

This is what I believe: the touchbar is for people like me... people who never learned to use the F keys, people who aren’t obsessive about shortcuts but appreciate them when discovered. In short, it’s for the 90% of software users that float between general public and pro users. It works.
Currently, Google and other large companies already do have power and influence over what the government does. But only a tiny portion of people at these companies are the ones deciding what to do with that power. It would be preferable if the entire company took part in deciding how it would influence what the government does. It would be even more preferable if workers across whole industries and whole sections of society together used their collective power to influence what the government can do. Ideally, these large federated unions would also do so with the interests of the unemployed/disabled/disenfranchised as well. This is what the IWW does. Tech workers should join the IWW.
It depends why they're not taking a salary. If the owner is already loaded and doesn't need the money, that's fine. If they're having some cashflow issues but the pipeline is full and there's revenue coming, then that's probably OK. If the business is tanking and can't support a wage, obviously that's bad.
That's very awesome! What tablet and project is that?
You made your point: war is dirty. But that was not my claim either.

If we want to defend the necessity and impact of those weapons, they should be taken in the context of modern american and NATO warfare, not in the context of WW2. Normandy 1944 was a very different conflict than Libya 2011 for instance.
So does it show the ZWJ within emoji combinations?
> SV as a whole is substantially a creation of military spending.

That's true, but not really in the general way you argue. Military spending on bay area R&D has been more or less insignificant for the entirety of the internet era. It exists, sure, but it's not driving meaningful revenue for any of the big players. Silicon Valley since the mid 90's has been a consumer thing only.

And even in the genesis of the valley, it was just one serendipitous application (missile guidance systems, which were willing to pay huge sums for early transistors which were literally 100x lighter than vacuum tubes).
Your comparison is like comparing apples and oranges. You can’t do child labor because there are laws in the US to prevent that. If you lobby to pass a law that prevents AI for defense purposes then that would be similar. Here the US govt is a client, if not google they will go to some-other company for that tech as long as there is no law that prevents that.

Also, if they don’t go to google, sure they may not see as much of a rapid growth in AI tech, but if you think they will never be able to get anywhere significant, you sir are underestimating others IMO
Touching is obviously a crime, but saying whatever outlandish thing you want to say, or whatever horrible gestures, etc, isn't a crime anywhere I know of in the US. Sitting down and asking the waitress "hey, cutie...wanna fuck?" is obviously terrible, but not criminal.

It's not even criminal between employees, even if it's your boss. Fireable offense, yes. Civil tort, maybe. But nobody is going to jail.
By using this "logic" you draw a very blurry line, that wont lead to any decision making, just arguing over who is most evil.

I can now assume that miners and forgery workers are complicit in murder because they harvest and refine the metals that build weapons. And that farmers are complicit because they produce the food that is used in military rations, the wool or cotton that is used to make their uniforms.

>And to think that SV has a large population of supposedly "small government" Libertarian Capitalists

Not only that, but when Youtube and Google block content, censor people, or otherwise prevent free speech, the common rejoinder is "they are private companies, they don't have to abide by the 1st amendment". Any company that is received taxpayer money, whether through direct subsidies, grants, partnerership, or any other avenue, ceases to be a "private company". I believe strongly that if you are truly private, and you operate entirely with your own private funds, and wholly-owned, privately purchased infrastructure, you are free to say and do what you want - silence any voice or opinion that you don't like. But once you receive public funds, in any context, along with that comes with the responsibility to the public. Despite being "the way it works" currently, this system is incredibly corrupt and logically inconsistent. In a world where the Constitution was respected, enforced and held inviolate, a company that received public funds (like Google) would not be allowed to declare themselves a private company with total autonomy on one hand, and grab countless millions in taxpayer money in the other.
> Homes usually pay ~$6,000 to fill a pool.

Nonsense. Maybe in Phoenix or Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Not in Michigan.
The problem is that the "compromise" touted by gun control advocates is entirely one-sided - more restrictions, no concessions. No quid-pro-quo, only further restrictions on the right.

That's not compromise, that's capitulation.

Right, that's the problem. It implies the captain was not free to make the decision himself (as he should have been).
How about one stage of Apple (and numerous other tech) criticism instead: I hate sluggish things.

AirPods are sluggish.

That is, they introduce worst-in-class latency of about 1/3 of a second[1].

Why do I care? Because making music is nauseating when you press a key, and the sound doesn't come right away. Even latency as low as 1/100 of a second is felt[2] - that's about the standard for acceptable latency.

Rhythm games are likely out of question too (unless the devs took care to measure and compensate for this latency).

When iProducts came out, there was a huge emphasis of them being a creation tool for artists and musicians. AirPods show that, sadly, this is no longer the emphasis.

In general, latency of all kinds plagues all the products we use, to the point where Apple IIe was more responsive than today's juggernauts[3].

But as for AirPods in particular - they are a flawed product. Good for you if your use case is not affected by the flaws.

Then they should have not called it a “MacBook pro” there is nothing “pro” about touch bar, it’s something useless that I have to pay extra for and I don’t need it at all.
"It turns off after 1 min of inactivity"
Oh wow I didn't know that, I've been kinda leaning on the "it might actually be pretty cool/useful" side of this touchbar thing, but now I'm squarely in the "it's totally useless" camp. What were they thinking?
> This is arguing dishonestly

No, it isn't.

He is arguing that the government of Michigan's laws are bad because the Nazis had bad laws.

There's dishonesty for you.
There are many different structures that unions can have so what you described isn't necessarily how it has to work. That said, even if it is how it worked, you would still be better off on average than if you weren't in a union.
> Military spending on bay area R&D has been more or less insignificant for the entirety of the internet era.

This is ridiculously false. SV receives billions of dollars from the Pentagon, the CIA, and a variety of other government agencies annually. Here is just one example:

If you have an iPad, you can use duet to simulate the touchbar on the bottom of the display. This makes it all the more useful if you're using your iPad to see chat messages or monitor the status of a terminal since it also takes advantage of the touchscreen
I just gave CLion a whirl. It's decent, but unless I'm missing something massive, it's nowhere close to Visual Studio in terms of being a good experience IMO. The debugging experience is so rough in comparison. Aside from the fact that the shortcuts are pretty non-standard (F5 is "copy" instead of "debug"??) here are some issues I can see right away:

1. Artificially long delay when I hover on variables before I can see their values. This drives me insane.

2. I can't view the "raw" values of a variable; I can only see whatever it decides to show me. (So if there's an std::string, I can't examine its fields; at least not by default, if there's any way.)

3. The first time I tried running the debugger, the process stays hanging in the background. I couldn't kill it; I had to manually detach it from the debugger. This was literally the "hello world" example it came with.

4. The completion database for their hello world (all it includes is <iostream>) took quite a while longer than Visual Studio's did. I can't imagine what it's like for actual projects.

5. It initially told me I can't debug because I didn't have a project? So I had to reload the CMake project. This makes no sense.

6. There seems to be no filtering of private variables that I can't access (in the completion UI)? Maybe I'm missing something here.

7. There seems to be no obvious "immediate mode" in the debugger. I'm not well-versed enough to know if GDB has this feature, but regardless, whatever you have to type into GDB to get this feature would be more painful than in Visual Studio (where you literally just type the expression into the Immediate tab and press Enter).

8. Even the cursor hiccups repeatedly. Not that Visual Studio's is perfectly innocent in this regard either, but CLion's stuttering is far more pronounced, far more frequent, and far less excusable (see https://imgur.com/a/Huo2V).

This is just after a very quick use. It seems to "work" in the same way Eclipse does -- the functionality is "there" (maybe even more than what Visual Studio has), but it's just clunky and doesn't feel smooth or "integrated" (the 'I' in IDE).
Thanks for the suggestion - the framework looks great from a cursory glance. I really like the decorator patterns - I'll use it on my next side project!
It doesn't need to be fresh, you could dam a certain bay and put generator/pumps in the wall. Pump a cubic mile of water back and forth as needed, and you get tidal generation for free, too.

This is also a good approach for when travelling, or even just out, with one or two friends.

Agree a set of escalating code words or actions that mean something like "take care", "come help me with this situation" and "we are leaving now, no questions asked."

Give everybody the power to make these signals and ensure that everybody else reacts immediately.

We all sense danger differently, and the best way to avoid problems is to work as a group, and to trust the people who you are friends with.

I am assuming that this is because that sphere-like object is generated by subdividing and inflating an octahedron, rather than the "sphere" primitive found in a lot of 3d programs. Duckgoing for "octahedral sphere" brings up things like a tutorial on "creating better spheres by subdividing an octahedron".

That's really cool people were interested in reading about how you do it! I always have a fascination about how other people live their lives and that includes setups and other such things.

I enjoy my Pixel LS so much, it really is an incredible machine. It has some pains for development work, but for me the pros outweigh the cons. I just really don't like MacOS or Windows because they get in my way. Chrome OS doesn't get in my way.
I'd extend that by saying it teaches you what OO was meant to be.. It also shows you a lot of what is missing in modern environments. Imagine being able to run code and create any objects via a kind of command line and while any program is running be able to change it on the fly for experimentation/exploration purposes! I wish .net had something like this!
