ACID semantics subtley and indirectly requires locks. Any scenario where lock contention might be a problem would be a problem for an RDBMS (assuming the traditional definition of RDBMS as a ACID compliant). Those scenarios can easily be “super-constant”, especially if you have to distribute across multiple nodes. That requires locks that are held for the duration of an “external call” over the network which is A Bad Idea and could definitely be “super-constant”.

I think most would say context matters.
I think that statement is still subject to the proof given. "Not all the dots are blue" just initialize K to {n}, and the induction proceeds as written.

The flaw in the proof is that it assumes that townsfolk only learn their dot color based on counting arguments. If the stranger's "anything non-trivial" statement includes information beyond just a raw count, then a townsfolk may learn their dot-color prematurely (e.g. by being told in the statement) and the proof fails.
They're still real technical terms for describing underlying technology that have been appropriated as increasingly stretched marketing terms.

It's almost like the euphemism treadmill. As laypeople hear the technical terms repeatedly in the news and associate it with meaning 'this is Good New Thing,' marketing departments will notice and slap them onto more and more stuff until the term loses its original value. Rinse, repeat.
No need to exclude most cities that aren't NYC or SF.
It makes sense sometimes. If you have a huge, complex organization, it might make sense to have predictable, synchronous cogs. It makes planning easier and less risky, and moving the entire system as a whole is easier if the individual parts don't vary too much.
Divvy Raises $10.5M Series A to Eliminate Expense Reports
Although I tend to see most ultra-liberal conspiracy babble as nonsense, experience with my own psychology and observation of those around has led me to believe that white male fragility is a real thing. You're being downvoted because people on HN, who are by and large financially secure, well-educated technocrats (like myself!), feel like there's something deeply irritating about your post, whether or not it is statistically accurate.

I've had enough experience doing volunteer work with people trying to complete their GED in/after prison that - despite the fact that I despise ultra-left fresh-out-of-college political babble (it's so disconnected from reality and non-constructive that it's reasonable to squash it with the rest of the noise) - I do believe that there are deep structural injustices in American society, and we really don't have a coherent story for how to fix them.

That shift in attitude was born of experience that is not universally shared, though. Most people have their hobbies and their jobs and their families and their insecurities and their resentments, and they don't take kindly to strangers telling them that the American social structure that passively benefits them and makes their lifestyle possible is built in part on some very deep nastiness.

Which isn't to point fingers, or level blame, or shame anyone. Those are the rhetorical techniques of demagogues, and they have neither truth value nor do they tend to point society in a better direction. It's just to say that the psychological landscape is complicated.

To live your life, you gave up the opportunity to live someone else's. So clearly your life is worth at least as much as anyone else's. Other people seem to act as though their lives have value, though unfortunately none of them can explain why either, except perhaps by themselves observing others treating their lives with value, and circularly repeating this argument.

That's an interesting problem. We don't get many concurrent requests and if we do, well then it's not a huge deal.

How many instances do you want running? You could set up a separate keep alive path that sends another request to the lambda, with a variable on how deep into the keep alive request 'recursion' and break out if you deep enough. Does that make sense? Super weird and just off the top of my head.

edit: this isn't a good solution either because if you have a lambda kicking off 4 other lambdas because you want 5 running, and someone makes a request well then you still haven't warmed up that 6th and your 5 lambdas are running the keep warm code...

Big shout-out to all these volunteers indeed, I wouldn't use the web so much if it weren't for them making it half-decent.

That’s a problem in some places. But even with available land, construction is difficult and risk prone.

I have a few acres of land, and saving 25% per square foot on a modular home is a compelling prospect. Modern homes are expensive to build.
I use checklists to turn mental work ("uhh, let me think, what all do I need to do...") into straightforward physical work ("check, next step..."). I also use checklists as a first step towards automation and a stopgap until automation is complete, since I live in a constant state of infinite backlog.

If I run through the checklist a couple times and it seems to:

[ ] Cover everything
[ ] Not require complicated decision making or value judgments
[ ] Has few edge cases in need of handling
[ ] Doesn't require automation-opaque tooling
[ ] Not change more frequently than I execute the checklist

Then I know I have a prime candidate for automation, and already have great documentation of exactly what to automate.
That's a good point. While there are a lot of cases of people in city council meetings saying overtly racist things as justification for these policies (mostly making equivalent poor, POC, and criminals). But I imagine a lot of people are basically just looking out for their own well being.At most being selfish, not discriminatory

There is still the issue that many POC don't even get this opportunity to be selfish, but that discussion doesn't lead to much
It really depends on what you are doing I guess. Sounds like you enjoy the dev aspect of Docker, which tells me you are doing more that just running a function.
I've never seen this in my life in the UK. There is a guy watching over the people in the toilets in the clubs near me, but you don't talk to him and he doesn't hand you anything. Even if he did hand you something, you don't have to have a conversation with him.
I found it just to be a good reminder that chasing "GitHub streaks" is ephemeral meaninglessness, although it was counterintuitive behavior.
Well, we have resorted to some sarcasm with the police - I said during one meeting that there was a perception among the residents that they had a '3I' policy for the issue - they were either:

* Indifferent

* Incompetent or

* Involved

That left them a bit speechless.

Previously i used the xiaomi store for apps on local phones, and phones bought elsewhere and it worked a charm - looks first on its own store and then has option to search elsewhere for the apk. Worked faultlessly for me until i decided to switch to APKpure because the signing in F-Droid and its occasional blocking became a pain for me.

If I understand your suggestion right, it's to heartbeat concurrently to force more warm instances. We have played with that, but spikes are spikes - the most interesting ones defy expectations. As with many apps, the conditions that make us spike make performance more important, not less.

Just found the same author as OP with a clever solution here: https://read.acloud.guru/cold-starting-lambdas-2c663055589e

Having the app pre warm instances on a per-user basis is super cool -- for user-driven workloads like web servers. To make matters worse, we are serving an API that takes hits from third party streams -- so our concurrency is based on their client behavior, not something we can easily link to a session scope, like users. Tricky!

Yeah, the only way to search reddit and actually get what you are looking for is through Google. I don't understand why the website's search is so bad.
I could believe they tried to sneak it through for malicious purposes and wrote it off as a mistake when they were caught. I could also believe it was a genuine mistake. Either way, I'm glad there are communities like Hacker News to make a stink when stuff like this happens and get it into the spotlight.
If I understand the problem correctly it involves generating random strings. If so, then it seems like cheating since quantum effects are random and classical computing isn't.
They are known for overselling a bit. They admit it in this very blog post. Nice technical, leading edge concepts, good prices. But then they might struggle with fulfilling the promises.

They had big announcements for IPv6. After a long wait they had to admit that their C1 infra has HW limitations and IPv6 would never come. On their other infra they do have IPv6, but I understand the implementation is awkward (not an IPv6 expert myself).

They had big plans for ARM. Nowadays they do mostly Intel.

Yes, I like them for pioneering, but I would not like to have my business heavily relying on their promises.

Op implemented a poor version of timingsafe_memcmp, which is of course slow. His other HN post today is also full of such errors.

I even don't agree with the major premise that the libc version should be always preferred. In fact memcmp and memcpy can be made much faster.

At http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2014/08/perfect-hashes-an... I wrote a jit like memcmp with switching on wordsized chunks which is 200x faster than memcmp.

And I benchmarked my safelibc implementation of memcpy_s with a good compiler, clang >4, beating the handoptimized and unsafe glibc assembler version by ~5%. gcc stinks there. https://github.com/rurban/safeclib/blob/master/tests/perf_me...
Let the compiler optimize it.

But I saw much faster memcpy than this.
Yes. That's what I mean. The per user basis does sound interesting.

Sometimes though, you can't force a square peg in a round hole. I dislike server maintenance but docker is a decent alternative to lambdas if you can absorb the extra cost.
Minecraft is Lego-style self-directed play, completely unlike most video games.

If you watch, say the Direwolf20 series on Age Of Engineering, he ends up building this huge space station to win. But, that space station was his idea, not a requirement, my play of AoE has a tiny airless platform with a warp drive in it for space exploration and my main base was in the open air in a parallel universe where it never rains. He spends lots of time building structures in low gravity wearing a jetpack, I spent more fencing off wildlife. This wasn't a choice explicitly offered in the game, just a consequence of different people with the same infinite box of Lego bricks building a different layout. The very different experiences mean essentially infinite replay value.

"Random" sandbox elements became very popular in video games, but QA teams militate against building anything like Minecraft where you just can't test because there's a combinatorial explosion of interactions. Instead most games have a handful of set pieces with inconsequential random elements.

But that means even if nobody else's game of Shadow of Mordor is exactly the same, they're so similar as to preclude most interest in replaying. Which makes good economic sense, sell the player a new one every year. But you don't become a phenomenon like Minecraft that way.
Once upon a time there was a thing to be done. Huge meetings were held, and goals were set for how much of the thing should be done per month. Metrics were set up to track how much of the thing had happened. Over a hundred people were invited to these meetings, and countless man-hours were spent on defining goals. Many more hours were spent on measuring progress toward those goals. Group emails were sent, vaguely confused words were spoken, and spreadsheets sprang forth from the void.

None of this affected the people whose job was to actually do the thing. They did as much of the thing as could be done in the time they had. The goals came from the void and the metrics went into the void, and no echo was heard.

... And "once upon a time" means, in this case, "a few months ago at a big company where I work." The really funny thing, though, is that most of these jobs make local sense. The managers who went to the meetings and so on? They were sheltering their people from all this so that things could get done. Even the people who set all this in motion were probably well-meaning, since they wanted the thing to be done and took actions that they perhaps thought might plausibly lead toward this. I can't hate any of the people involved -- and yet the end result of it all is complete waste; utter horrifying destruction of irreplaceable time and energy. It would be better to light large piles of cash on fire, because it would be much cheaper and at least then we'd be able to stare at the flames.

How do you prevent this sort of situation?
I've experienced that at a trade show too. That convention center did it as a means of charging crazy money for electricity. Internet was very expensive too.

Trade shows are a racket facilities-wise but worth it as publicity/B2B opportunities.

I believe you are comparing your Canadian upbringing, which reflected an adolescent perspective on a broad spectrum of society, to your adult experiences in a tech bubble. This is a pretty obvious fallacy (the tech bubble is a highly self-selected population of intelligent, well-educated people who like to build things).

I grew up in suburban Minnesota. It's not exactly ambition central, but it's miles ahead of small town America. You're talking about a country that elected Trump here. It's afraid of immigrants, "foreign" religions (as though American Christianity weren't a shambling syncretic nightmare), doesn't believe in evolution, and believes overwhelmingly in hell. We incarcerate more of our citizens per capita than any other developed country. We're not exactly free-wheeling dream seekers, at the median. We ridicule weird people, we spit on people who fail, and we hate anyone who is ugly, awkward, old, or otherwise socially disadvantaged.

Getting ahead is seen as fine - be ambitious! - but only because we think our friends are "winners" and won't be hurt by the risks they take, which is nonsense. We also don't prize reflectiveness as a culture, so when people gain sufficient experience to learn that this perspective is idiotic, they don't internalize it.

I'm not a giant fan of American culture, and I'm sad to see that anyone from Canada (I watch your Supreme Court proceedings for entertainment, full disclosure!) would idolize anything about they way Americans do things.
Why is Bitcoin Cash being so strong in the crypto-markets?
The cheapest choice would be the falcon block 5. Gooooo spacex.

There is a new currency in the filed of the cryptocurrency, which is called Bitcoin Cash(BCH). How to explain about the creation of Bitcoin Cash? It can be regarded as a version of the popular currency which will process transaction rapidly in a large block size.

Bitcoin Cash is a better way to solve some problems about processing transaction by increasing the block size to 8MB.

Next, let's take a closer look at the new currency——Bitcoin Cash.

BCH, as a new type of blockchain asset generated by hard bifurcation of Bitcoin, is also successful. since appearing in crypto-markets,BCH has rallied several times. Why is bitcoin cash being so strong in the markets?

Firstly, there are more and more miners supporting BCH because it is proving more benefits when it becomes popular in the crypto-markets. BCH can not succeed without the support of market and users. BCH is now available in many exchanges, which means it has great strengh and potential in the future.

The second reason why bitcoin cash is popular in the markets, is its sofeware upgrade.The current upgrade of BCH allows scalability of the chain by adjusting the block size to 8 MB.
The large blocks owned by bitcoin cash can make transactions faster and cheaper. This can truly achieve the "point-to-point encrypted electronic cash system" mentioned in the Bitcoin white paper.

In short, bitcoin cash (BCH) may reach a higher level in the market.

> If you want to defend the idea of running potentially hostile Turing complete code, you need to tell us how to answer that question or you are advocating that everybody should regularly accept the risk of running malicious code.

I don't really have to. Javascript has been a part of the web for over twenty years. Almost everyone else already runs it, and has already accepted that risk. You, rather, have to defend the premise that all of those people are wrong for doing so, given that most malicious code on the web comes from email attachments, downloaded binaries, and Internet Explorer.

I submit that blocking scripts will block ads (most of the time) and analytics and make sites (that work at all without it) run faster, but it won't really make you that much safer.

You're already running millions or billions of lines of potentially hostile Turing complete code that can do things javascript couldn't even dream of, and I doubt you've compiled all of it from source, or read all of the source if you have. The risk presented by javascript relative to every other programming language and runtime in existence is minimal.

>I suggest first addressing the simpler question, "Does this Javascript program ever halt?"

Yes. Hit escape, F5 or when the browser tells you a script appears to be hanging, have it kill the script.

I know you're referencing the halting problem there, but in practical terms it's not even an issue. You can, of course, just turn it off.

> What in the world makes you think that you would be aware of any success whatsoever of intelligence gathering in the Middle East? What makes you think that the situation couldn't have gotten much worse that it did?

To the extent that the expanded sigint is used for actual defense, it's trivial to expect more data to have helped (at least marginally) with the national defense aims of the agency. This is not controversial and somewhat trivial to point out.

The issue is that the NSA's behavior violated the 4th amendment rights of millions of people. You suggest that the ends justify the means. I respect that opinion and may even agree with it, but that doesn't matter.

What matters is that the law was broken in the creation of the domestic surveillance program and nobody is currently serving time in prison for breaking it.

The bill of rights exists because of very hard earned lessons about the appropriate relationship between the people and the government. We let a handful of officials ignore the 4th amendment and steal billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars to build the infrastructure to do so.

This is not just a major violation of rights but a major financial crime. The program should be cancelled, the officials responsible jailed, and the equipment auctioned off so that the proceeds can be returned to taxpayers.

Many of our rights as citizens give criminals and innocent people various protections against law enforcement. This is not a design flaw.
Correct: it generates a surface light field from a set of RGBZ images that sample the scene surfaces. In turn, that's simplified into a set of alpha-textured quads that very accurately represent the scene from a specified headbox.
