It's the convenience and the enormous ecosystem of plug and play services that make AWS do good for point and click building architectures.

You can do all of it locally (except multi zone and multi region reliability) but it would take a lot of configuration, skills and you wouldn't have the same Gui for everything.

AWS is not cheap but companies don't care, because without it, you have to pay to find experts and keep them happy, which is a lot harder.
What kind of evidence? How do you define success?

Society and civilization are built around discipline and order, but it doesn't mean you require those qualities to have success.

The role of school is to teach people to fit into a civilized world. It is not oppressive, it's not always conditioning, but it's a mean to give people a chance to live a comfortable life inside the frame of civilization. Success is a different thing.
These days, basic chat apps are common enough that they're close to core "phone" functionality -- even a few Nokia smartphones had WhatsApp support before they went the way of the dodo.

And one would assume that that's not really that hard to do. After all, for SMS support you've got a very similar set of features already running on the phone. Maybe videos won't work that well, but that shouldn't degrade the basic support.

In New Delhi, I'd also want my kids to have access to some car hailing app and maps. Heck, I'd want a stun gun integrated in the phone…

If you really need an air gapped computer, wouldn't it make a whole lot more sense to build a desktop with some variety of ATX form factor motherboard that you can examine in detail to confirm that it has zero wireless functionality?

A Macbook Air, which is pretty much designed as a wifi-dependent network terminal, would be way down my list of hardware I would choose if I had to build an airgap lab environment.

This is great. I'd love to see something like the Computer Language Benchmark Game[0] but for these proof systems. In the meantime, you can find some interesting benchmark experiments in the papers for Hyrax[1] and STARKs[2]. I'm sure there's a lot more out there, but these are some hard numbers that I've come across. I'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff but it's really exciting to see all the progress.

Sounds like a great system for the incumbents, and a massive cost to any new players. You give it away when you say "both sides". In fact there are many sides, and regulation all to often favours the one with the best connections to the government - usually the largest.
While this would supplant "C for speed" libraries, it wouldn't supplant "C for OS access" libraries. At some point, system code needs to call the OS.

It’s definitely worse but not as bad as non-MB touchpads used to be. Plus, it’s motivating to use more keyboard shortcuts.
>This is not first generation that dislikes mandatory readings. That did not changed. Primary purpose of school reading was not to be pleasure reading, it did not had to be and kids read more.

This whole mindset of copy & paste information into new citizen is nightmarish and has bred so much resentment/outright resistance it should be persecuted for destroying a young persons motivation and interest in new things.

Youtube and others are laying this idea, that knowledge has to be uninteresting and/or boring to ashes- series like extraHistory, smarterEveryDay, etc. show what is possible and how bad things actually are and where.

If someone must force his grownup tastes down upon a not grown up audience, and overrides rejection /disinterest with force - destroying one of the most vital things a new citizen has to bring to this society (intrinsic will to learn / yearning for discovery) the educator should be fired and banned from his / her profession.

> you can ask for different behavior in different invocations,

Pretty much every software supports several config files (system wide, invocation specific) for this reason.

It's not harder to write a line to a file than to set an environment variable.

Environment variables have opaque size limitations. Any non-trivial data is likely to be quoted or encoded in some way, which is going to vary between your applications, and there's going to be quirks in parsing.

It is much easier to programmatically reason about state of standard file formats on disk, instead of resorting to parsing environments of running processes.

Environment variables is inherited to child processes (which is the point of using them). That's going to have security implications for you. Especially if those processes also read their configuration from environment.

And yes, given the choice, I think you will find that most people uses .gitconfig instead of setting their git configuration via environment variables, for these very reasons.
Also, even if there was a deeper cause contributing to both ("causing it" is much more rare than a common contributing factor) you could cure one bot not the other if you don't address (or don't even know) that common factor but use some other path to address one problem even without knowing the full picture. When (as is common) there are many contributing factors solving one problem may be done by addressing only one or some of them, and that may not be the one that also contributes to some other (visible) problem. So "curing one also cures the other" would only work in an incredibly specific scenario, while there are many others possible that allow some sort of common factor somewhere, among many others.

> interpolation?

No, there is no facility for variable templating, interpolation, references, or anything of the like in toml.

If you wanted that, you could implement it in your application by doing post-processing on strings, or you could not use TOML.

> What is the keyword for null?

If you have "x = 1", you can always comment it out with "# x = 1". There's no specific support for null.

it would be kinda silly to have it anyways since null is a language construct more than anything else, and e.g. some lanuages support mixed strings + nulls in one array, but many don't.
Does anyone have dependable reference for that?
The challenge of reading Borges for a wider audience is to find appropriate translation. The ones he sanctioned, translated collaboratively by Giovanni is out of the market due to copyright tussles with the estate. The translations available in market are by Andrew Hurley which do not quite capture the brilliance of Borges. I started with Hurley's translation of a short story and later chanced upon Giovanni's for the same. The difference was stark. I cannot force myself to read other translation any more, even if it means denying myself further works of Borges.

This is a legacy way of consuming material. More and more are using on demand first.

However the use case of live sport - especially football in the uk - is massively different. This means the platforms have to scale to 20 million plus live streams (that's say 100tbit and 5 second latency) for a once in 4 year event.
There can be no real connection without showing your own wounds.

Your wounds also heal when you look into the eyes of another human telling you their fear and trauma with tears in their eyes. You connect with the experience of very humbling and deep empathy as the pain and feelings you share are the same. They are universal. You are not separate and you become to understand that you were never broken or incomplete or different.

This is the power of sharing yourself with others. We are not here alone and were never supposed to figure thins out alone.

Look, I went last week to the police station reporting a minivan who tailed me, then overtook me on the right and drove back into my car. Granted I wasn’t going at full speed (I was maintaining distance with the car in front, which made the minivan driver highly unhappy), but it was at 110km/h and we could all have died. Then the driver flew off. That makes 4 counts of infringement, 5 if you include attempted murder.

Smaller companies let you work with a wider range of technologies / problems. You wear more hats, so to speak.
I disagree, it can be done below $400. The first two generations of the Moto G where really awesome for the price (< $200). They had vanilla Android, frequent updates, reasonably good screens and were fast. I used one for a while full time while my Moto X was being repaired. And I briefly considered switching to the G full time because it had some nice features (could be bought with dual SIM and had a bumper available that could replace the back). Unfortunately, quickly after Lenovo bought Motorola, they diversified the product line and the quick updates stopped.

Currently, Nokia (they are not really Nokia, but have ex-Nokia staff and are a Finnish company) makes really great Android phones around $200-$300. They are in the Android One program and do 2 years of feature updates and monthly security updates. So far, it seems that they are keeping up this promise. Phones like the Nokia 6.1 are fast, have a nice screen, etc. Obviously, it is not a $700 phone, but speed/quality/update-wise they are very similar to the old Nexus line.

I don't know. IAAC is a much newer term than DevOps, and used primarily in combination with IAAS, so I think its meaning can't be used as an argument to give or take away meaning to the term DevOps.
> A lot of beliefs are neither true nor false, but rather "self-fulfilling". If you believe that you lack the ability to succeed professionally, you aren't going to put in the effort to try, which means you won't succeed.

This isn't true. Satisfactory work is not always affected by perception or quantity of work (someone may be doing good work and thinking it's poor; someone's hard work can be another's easy work; someone can do a lot of quality work without huge effort). Quite a few successful people with imposter syndrome and depression exist. People don't have super powers in terms of causality. What people think or "think" often doesn't matter that much and it's rather dangerous to give it so much gravity. This is far more gravity than the individual themselves gives their thoughts.

> If you're getting good results in your life it's a good feedback loop, but if something is wrong and you haven't been able to fix it

The problem is this describes an incredibly linear, just-world model of reality. I.e., if someone is getting good results in their life, it's due to them. If someone is getting bad results in their life, it's due to them. There's no room for randomness here, while in reality our world is very random, and people may be getting very random results and assigning them all sorts of wrong causalities.

It's really going to be a rather lousy therapist not realizing this and blaming some patient for reacting to some trauma. People's weird loops are often just adaptations to the random, erratic, and unfair world around them.

> If you believe therapy is completely unhelpful, you won't listen to anything the therapist says and so it will be unhelpful.

Well, that's useful, given that despair is pretty common in depression, one of those illnesses people go get therapy for. Good thing this isn't true, and people absolutely can be pulled out of ruts by random outside events or by well-placed conversation. I would say therapists are not very useful if they can't do something as simple as pull a person out of a standard "everything sucks and will always suck" loop.
Nothing in that article (with which I of course was familiar) says anything about "not possible to publish medical data in an anonymized fashion that does not infringe privacy rights". What it talks about is that some data sets may be improperly anonymized, and Netflix data set is one of them. It is undoubtedly true that anonymization is harder than it appears to a naive observer. It does not mean it is impossible.

> important take away from the above paper is that you need to know about all the other public data in the universe in order to really ensure anonymity.

I do not see how it's takeway from that paper.

> You never know what dataset will be leaked/published tomorrow correlating columns D-F in the spreadsheet you gave EPA to someone's first and last name.

You also never know whether somebody doesn't just break into your system, downloads all secret data and publishes them. Yes, you have no guarantee against bad actors and mistakes. But if that's the border condition then no research should be performed at all - after all, once the data exists, there's no guarantee it won't somehow get leaked out.

> The situation where IRB says "no" to public disclosure should explicitly trigger exemption

IRB is a part of the institution, right? So you essentially delegating the decision about the exception to (part of) the institution. What the point of having the rule then if every organization can make their own exceptions on demand? And that makes trivially easy to hide the data in sloppy research - just sprinkle some private data on it, show it to IRB, they cry out "no, this can't be released, no way!" - and voila, you are safe from review.

Laws and regulation are only local maxima on the capabilities of technology and how they will be applied.

Consumer protection from this stuff is a joke in the age where GDPR skinner boxes give people feelings of warm fuzzies when continuing to download crApps on to their platforms to suck up everything passively and with users active engagement, to backends that are ever more becoming open to the public for consumption (due to the lack of corporate accountability on such downsides). Combine that with increasingly cheaper storage costs, and more people becoming knowledgeable of the tools… yeah if one is banking on MSFT and its current behemoth brethren forever maintaining an advantage…

Kings of years past wanted to regulate the use of the printing press, and were modestly successful at first, though only in time most people realized that such diktats were futile.

In the original ARM design the multiple register transfers were much more efficient than the equivalent single register transfers because of the simple architecture which had an inherent load delay (it couldn't fetch an instruction and a data word in a single cycle). When they switched to the Harvard model they lost their advantage.

Talking of the ARM reminds me of older heroic feats of assembly-programmed internet software in the Acorn days, such as Ben Dooks' all-asm TCP/IP stack and Jon Ribbens' web browser. Probably not been done that often...

It's pretty easy to live without AirBnB. While outrageous and rude on general ground, AirBnB behavior here is not too harmful. But what if another company like Google just blacklists you? That could be a lot more trouble, especially if you have Google mail, use Google identity to log in to other sites, etc. And what if it's some cloud company that just blocks you from your data, backups, digital assets, private keys, etc.? Modern tech provides a lot of nice opportunities, but if you stop to think about it it's scary how fragile it is and how much a lone keypress of somebody (alive or even bot) inside the guts of a major company can have impact on your life...
There is pretty good research that shows people who remain engaged in mentally challenging activities past age 65 have a lower rate of Alzheimers. Whether it's playing chess, engaging in some technically complicated hobby like large-scale model trains, studying art history, whatever.

I've seen studies that show a strong parallel between people who are passive media consumers and don't self-identify in surveys as doing anything that exerts themselves mentally, and the rate of alzheimers.
You are aware that learning is not done just for pleasure purpose? The purpose is not always to make you like what you read. And that people unable to do "not fun" things or unable to deal with mild dislike of something are not the most vital parts of society. They are too fragile.

I am not bashing young people in general here. Most are not like that, even if they read less.

Also wtf it is with people that first reaction on anything is threat of firing. It seems like people can't discuss even curriculum without that.
3.5" disks. They were so rugged compared to 5.25". Installing OS/2 with 11 or 12 of them.

All good points. I would also comment that hobbies can be seasonal. My musical / coding hobbies tend to get more attention during the winter months when the weather is not so good. In the summer outdoor activities like gardening take more of my time.

Android is not typically a realtime OS. The root of the point, about uncontrolled pauses, is valid IMO.
Screens are even more addictive than books.

My 1.5 year old shuts off completely whenever he can get access to a screen, it is amazing and scary. He likes books also, but is much more engaged with them.

Screen time is probably a top issue for parenting today.
>What kind of evidence? How do you define success?

Scientific evidence, and in every possibly way you could define success.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3498890/

>This article investigates how personality and cognitive ability relate to measures of objective success (income and wealth) and subjective success (life satisfaction, positive affect, and lack of negative affect) in a representative sample of 9,646 American adults. In cross-sectional analyses controlling for demographic covariates, cognitive ability, and other Big Five traits, conscientiousness demonstrated beneficial associations of small-to-medium magnitude with all success outcomes.

This is only one example, these results are replicated in many, many other studies.

>Society and civilization are built around discipline and order, but it doesn't mean you require those qualities to have success.

Conforming to societies expectations really has nothing to do with this. No matter what it is you want to achieve in life, and no matter how passionate you might be about it, any worthwhile archievement in life requires discipline. Relationships, art, sports, philosophy, career... Achievement in any of those areas requires discipline.

Even if society was in a total state of disorder, you’d still need discipline to get what you want from life.

When George demonstrated his first model I showed a friend who designs safety critical systems. To paraphrase he said, that of course you can hack something together in a weekend that does this.

However a analysing a million edge cases, making sure all failures fail in a safe way takes a lot of time and knowledge.

It made me think that this is a great demonstration of the difference between hobbyist hacking and professional engineering.
