This is beautiful. Looked at the serverless url shortener example. It abstracts over all the configuration garbage and combines all the AWS infrastructure elements as one unified working body.

I'm worried that I might run into a case where it might provision something and I wouldn't know what it did to my AWS account necessarily.

I'll 10/10 give this a go for my next AWS project. Also, no YAML woo!

Protecting a company against sabotage is a CEO's job and competitors enticing/inducing employees into acts of sabotage is a plausible threat, in this light an internal leaked memo is not a public accusation and so reasonable.

Yes, there are strategies around how to optimally milk the period of price change. I was talking about the equilibrium state here.

The point I was making was that even if you cause a price drop by flooding the market, it might not be a bad outcome; you could end up making more profit than was being made by your competitors before you entered the market.

To your point, it's true that even if the equilibrium state isn't more profitable for an actor, they would still be incentivized to increase the supply if they could temporarily widen their profit margins while the price is changing (e.g. until the competitors can catch up). But I think that the equilibrium state provides a simpler working example of the general point I was making.

I believe the PC version used palette switching for a lava effect, but not for scrolling (it used Direct X). Never got to see the Mac version of the game.

I wrote a bot for Diablo 1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectsolo/). Due to the way the game uses older Windows modes for the palette, the colors never come out right in screen captures and also get messed up if you alt-tab. IIRC I had to use an API call dating back to Win16 to get the raw bytes, and I used artificial color for the visualizations rather than figure out how to obtain the actual palette.

Yes. Thanks for the reassurance.
Guys. You are saying that Elon is crazy. He is not - He is taking down giants and they are angry.

A NASA employee that advocated for SpaceX was sent Anthrax in the mail[1]. GM destroyed it's entire electric car fleet in 1991 because it threatened their gasoline product line[2]. 15 billion will be lost by short sellers if Elon succeeds[3]. The verdict is in. Big players will do crazy sh*t when they are threatened. And when I write this, the four top comments are suggesting Elon is crazy! What the hell is going on in Hacker News these days? There is nothing crazy about Elon being an enormous threat and that big co's are trying to crush him, any means necessary.

well normally, there are some cases where you can compile C# and f# native now:

mono can do it, that is how it targets IOS
microsoft has tooling that does it for universal apps
and coming soon! AOT native compilation for anything you want.

But yes, the normal way of things with C# and F# is just like Java, and Java has special cases where you can do AOT compilation too.

Don't be so disingenuous. Nobody is claiming the cars don't exist, the point is that Musk continuously makes insane, overreaching predictions that almost never come to pass, like the ludicrous "three months maybe, six months definitely" fully autonomous driving nonsense, or promises that Model 3 production will be on track for x units per month when the actual numbers are half that, and so on.

This is so typical of any discussion about Musk - anyone who dares point out that he often just makes things up is met with derision from True Believers who are unable to accept that he isn't the superhero his PR team make him out to be.
"You're too weak, too soft, too whinny, shitty for complaining about life"

STOP! DO NOT INDULGE IN THIS SORT OF THINKING.

You are strong, you can get past this.

None of use live up to our hopes and dreams, not a single damn one of us. Depression feeds itself. The negative thoughts offer a strange short term comfort. But they are lies total bull crap that isn't any use to anyone. You've gotta shut them down when they come up. Congratulate your self when you do shut them down.

I know when your depressed nothing feels good, nothing feels like it's working. But look for reasons to congratulate your self, force your self to note the things you did achieve. Maybe you're so down you can't get out of bed. Well plan to get out of bed for an hour, celebrate when you do. Yeah it wont feel great it won't fix anything but it'll start a trend. Keep going 'till your out of this funk.

"You hate your job" jobs are work they can be a grind but you can live life despite having a 9 to 5. You can find ways to enjoy the day. Getting that amazing job wont fix this. You have to learn how to enjoy life as it is. And you can and will.

You mentioned this is a cycle, if you're like me you know this happens and you'll feel normal again one day. Just slog through it, you know you have the strength. Maybe you don't see a point, well then just do it to beat this stupid thing. Depression is a son of a bitch, don't let it take you out, take it out. You know you can.

Some of the best advice I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_qvy82U4RE
I've actually tried this with popular western songs. The difference seems to be that YouTube is better at identifying songs with a lot of background noise. Shazam/Siri/Google need to have cleaner audio to be successful (I'm not sure why the Google assistant doesn't use the same tech as YouTube, but it doesn't seem to).
I guess my thinking is if the disgruntled employee was so upset over not getting a promotion to cause so much damage they must have been in a high enough position already to warrant such a disposition, and "high enough" might mean high enough to have push access themselves.

Edit: see closeparens comment above. Complicated systems can always be subverted when trust is broken.
It gets worse. Uber relies on a roadway network built by tax money (BART can't). They also ignore all the externalities of pollution (Bart is minimal in comparison).

The comparison between the two can't be made without adding in more factors.
Structural engineering is the art of solving the known knowns, which basically reduces the complexity to budgeting/resource planning. Startups need to solve the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns, which is inherently more challenging and difficult.

I never watched Big Bang Theory - what is it about the show that you think got it banned in China?
True. It's possible that the manufacturing software could be modified in some manner to introduce some fundamental flaw in the final product though. For that reason, I would say the code should also be held to a higher set of standards
Not only did they endanger patient lives by using unready and flawed technology, they were brazen enough to lie about it in writing (in pitch decks) and on national TV (CBS This Morning and others).

By putting blatantly false claims, like “Theranos Edison devices are deployed in the backs of Humvees in Afghanistan” and “Theranos technology has been validated by Johns Hopkins”, in writing, they have made it quite easy for prosecutors to meet any mens rea bar.

That said, it’s true that historically prosecutors have used wire fraud charges as an open ended tool. In “The Chickenshit Club”, the author describes in detail how various white collar crime task forces employed US Postal Service inspectors to help build wire fraud cases. It may not be as easy as Felix Salmon is saying, but the idea that any fraud that involves a wire constitutes “wire fraud” is not that far off from federal prosecutors’ historical playbook.
People are full of shit. Talk a big game when they benefit from it socially but when it comes to actually making a change, taking a stand, voting with dollars, etc. They come up with 'But I'm busy' 'But I'm tired' 'But I'm lonely' 'But everyone else is doing it' and the catch-all 'I'm only human'.

I'm guilty as charged too. I don't have a Facebook but I still eat fish, drive a car, etc, etc.

This trait right here is why I am not optimistic about the future no matter how much technology progresses.

Obama was ineffective because the GOP, which controlled both Houses for 6 of his 8 years, had a _deliberate_ policy of obstruction. Even after veering right and trying to placate the opposition, they still held firm. But before he lost Congressional support he delivered on a landmark healthcare bill which were by any accounting far reaching and revolutionary--for better or worse, depending on your policy preferences.

So the pertinent questions would be 1) how much political power will Obrador enjoy, and 2.a) how committed and 2.b) how effective will the opposition be? I'm not familiar with the structure of Mexican governance, nominal or real, so I wouldn't venture a guess.
This++. Even at large, serious organizations with certifications and important government contracts, there are inevitably dozens of people who are/were involved at various levels of the security infrastructure and who happen to know of some aspect of one of the "base turtles" that is secretly a shit show amounting to "this set of people is special." We used to like to play "where's the bullshit" in security design review, because you know there's always something in there with a big fat TBD at some level, and the folks who know what they're doing will readily own up to it and have a future plan for mitigation (often something which will always be a "future" plan). In my experience, the best designs are the ones that don't try to be 100% impossible to subvert, but at least can be audited. Meaning you may be able to come up with a way to push your code into the production line, but the stakes are high because you're probably gonna get caught after the fact.

Let me guess, if you had a BMW with similar interior, and similar production quality, you won't be a fan of it?

Tesla fandom is based on futurism. Take regular driver assistance, call it autonomous self driving driverless cars and make a cult of personality around Elon musk. If BMW sold substandard cars at a higher price than comparative cars, and had fanboys buying it, and yet be rewarded by the stock market for making losses, BMW would be making Model S/X all year long.

Which is why it's important for the security team to directly manage and be responsible for the code repository server. Usually the server also stores all the git repositories in some filesystem directory, meaning that server compromise would allow an attacker to remove all the company's code, regardless of permissions set for those repositories, and potentially leak it.

He argues that the 30% share current top US CS schools are getting is the global maximum. I think he is missing the “Whys” for women in tech and “perceived sense of individual strengths being too good for tech”, is not one of them.

Coding is a form of communication. Knowing how to write is essential today and you’re not going to write less about your passions just because you are so much better at swimming. Some of the reasons I pursued coding were:

- Because I grew up in the middle of nowhere and knew the whole world could see my work online. I didn’t want to be put under a lid. Code, like writing, lets your work be seen across locations and time.

- Because of economic opportunity - I could build tools that earn a living for me, so my earnings are not dependent on my work hours (a very VERY attractive feature for women).

- Because every coding effort is cumulative. No work result is dependent on the testimony of others. You can see if it works or doesn’t and the more you do, the more people see when they see you. Fantastic property when women are often discounted in the workplace.

- Because no matter what new passion I develop, I could always make a living building something around it with code. Handy skill, if you think you have social abilities, not a disadvantage.

The curious part was that I’ve always loved to code, but the periods of burnout that I’ve experienced came from work culture not the nature of the work. Coworkers hitting on female programmers and retaliating when feelings are not reciprocated; meatgriding business models that push for time spent billing vs actual productivity; discounting biased people, who make your life hell by presumption instead of fact. The cure was always to take an entrepreneurial route - work to rise above the role that drains you by using some of those notorious social skills, then build a kick ass project that relies on your skill and not someone else’s permission.

Coding is not a narrow career path and neither is a CS degree. It is a power and a freedomm. Show everyone the basics and let them taste the opportunity it presents in a required K-12 class.

Less stops yes, but in Uber pools the stops can be incredibly inconvenient and made worse with poor drivers or riders, resulting in long rides. At least with a bus I get a well trained professional who is prepared for almost all scenarios. I also can estimate how long s bus will take, pools can be unpredictability long.
I don't think the comparison there is entirely apt. Microsoft was really killed off by the cycle rate of desktops radically decreasing as even decade old machines started to be good enough for everything except for extremely high performance usage like gaming, and mobile starting to advance enough to work as an alternative computing platform for many purposes. For direct competition in what was their bread and butter (desktop OS) - even Apple is still completely negligible.

Musk's competition against the automotive and space industry companies has been very direct, and his competition against the petrol industry has been at most with one degree of separation. And like others have said, there is a huge short position against Tesla that has cost people an immense amount of money, but also stands to make them an immense amount of money if Tesla tanks.

They had the foundations to build one of few reliable and high quality "expert" social graphs with a high bar of discussion but threw it all away when they chased expansion via search-engine marketing
How is this an unseen and irrational force? It is a seen force - assuming we trust Musk in his assertion that a specific saboteur was identified and confessed to their actions, which I personally do given his overall track record - and it is a rational force given both immediate motivations (revenge for lack of promotion) and general motivations (massive extensively-documented well-funded multi-decade effort by the fossil fuel industry to thwart adoption of alternative energy). On top of that, none of this was public by virtue of it being a leaked internal email.

> I mean, there may well be saboteurs in Tesla. That's not my issue.

Yes, but your issue is apparently issuing proclamations about responses to saboteurs. Your stance on said issue holds little ground when you either seemingly can't be bothered to look at the basic facts or mischaracterize them to fit an agenda. So, which is it? Did you not read the article or are you being deliberately misleading?
Re: women in crypto, I’m not sure what the solution could be. Both men and women had the same opportunity to buy Bitcoin when it was incredibly cheap. Unlike the gender divide in STEM jobs, there’s no hiring managers / gatekeepers with bias against women turning down potential BTC buyers. Women just didn’t buy crypto early on.

I’ve seen folks go so far as to accuse Bitcoin of being sexist. I just don’t understand how that’s a fair thing to say given that anyone with an internet connection and an appetite for risk could have bought BTC anytime since 2009
And of course it's really easy for .Net to fix it for everyone in one simple patch, which it looks like they already have. I'm with you on this one.
IMO, the worst thing about Uber's pricing 'experiments' are silently gouging frequent riders with higher upfront fares, hiking up return fares (since it knows you didn't drive to the location) as well as hidden surges (that aren't passed on to the driver) during night.
