Agreed, and I can’t wait to work someplace like that again.

We have a build agent with 9 versions of Node in it. It was 6 when I started here. Once a month I get to help someone figure out weird errors because one task has the wrong value in a drop down. It’s such busy work I can’t even.

When I run the CI system, shit gets done and people are expected to be able to recreate build failures by themselves. Give a man a tool, make it reliable, then expect him to use it.
> this is a fundamental problem with the security model of Arch Linux

And with every other OS that isn't locked down so the user can't run arbitrary stuff.

The AUR is just the arch equivalent of downloading a `.exe` installer and running it. Yes, clearly there are security concerns there, but they aren't specific to Arch.

If you want a level of trust, then don't build AUR packages and install things using the package manager (AUR packages aren't supported by it) which have trusted maintainers and are signed.
Rather than have an argument about categorization I'll instead respond to the core moral question.

I do not think it is moral to claim that you own a story or a logo in the same way that one owns a shirt or a cell phone.

(But yes, I think a story or a logo is much more like a fact than property. Though they're certainly less fact-like than other types of facts.)

_Claiming_ to be another company that you are not is something different entirely (fraud) and does not require IP.

Urm, you need git, you need build tools... and pacman.

That's it. But oh yeah, because I do these things by hand and check whether the source urls point to the place I'd actually like to install (and other code doesn't download external sources, eg. in the PKGBUILD or external scripts like *.install files), I'm suddenly an exception.

kudos to people paying for all this mumbo-jumbo
Im about to start building a lab in my new engineering academic position after several years in pretty well funded industrial lab. While I’m posturing for a donation of some critical equipment starting from scratch is daunting but also exciting.

A part of what I want to achieve is the ability to replicate the types of measurement that require these extremely expensive pieces of equipment in a low cost facile manner. Students spend so much time building or setting up their rigs that there is often little time to take meaningful data as time runs out. I want my students to spend most of their time immersed in their data and how it fits with theory and not fine tuning some over-complicated proprietary tool.

As an aside I t’s surprising how much you can now get on Amazon. Whereas previously you’d have to enquire after a quotation and wait days just for a reply now you can just order direct.
The job of these services is to transform their internal event format to 140 different output formats. You can imagine that there is a lot of duplication in the functionality that these services need to do. Are you suggesting that they avoid any shared libraries and just rewrite the same code over and over hundreds of times and update them independently?

it would be a terrible idea to put data into the junk DNA sections. They're highly variable, under weird selection, and may even have a function that, when replaced with other DNA, could have a deleterious effect. That said I do think you could replace large swaths of LINES and SINES and Alu without any negative functionality.

I think Reed Solomon encoding should be quite robust.

Forgive me, but these don't sound like instances of arrogance. You've pointed out flaws in execution or feature, and I would do the same, but that's not arrogance. That's just doing your job as a developer.

Maybe you achieved these in an arrogant way? I'm not going to deny that you can get things done being arrogant. But I don't think it's necessary to getting things done right.
Well its nice that they are now shut down, although the process seems to been fairly slow and arduous. They were already identified as misbehaving in 2014, getting kicked out from deixp in 2017, and only now disconnected by transits. And even in the latest episode they could play this game of cat and mouse for a (short) while.

> This opens up something of a loophole where family can purchase items of a sentimental nature which are not actually worth much on the open market.

That seems like not much of a loophole, are you saying for tax purposes? Since the assessed value of a gift might be much higher than the actual purchase price at auction...?

The loophole seems to be that they can give the gift when their estate is insolvent, if any loophole exists. (Not saying you're wrong, or that this loophole is wrong.)

Or are you saying, it's a loophole because they couldn't normally get those precious things from the estate if it was insolvent, except that their value is mostly sentimental, so they can actually be purchased for a pittance at the inevitable estate auction?

Honestly she’s simply an asshat and if you are being an asshat in public while also being a prominent public figure of your company don’t expect your company to tolerate it.

She could choose to be an anonymous asshat but she doesn’t want too in fact many of her outbursts mention or point to her employer directly.
Thanks for being forthcoming; and I do appreciate the post. I'm partially venting, and I've been using AWS for a while. Vendor lock-in can be a pain in the rear sometimes.

A lot of the gripe I've got with these posts is that they seem somewhat incomplete. Hard to say things if you've only been messing with it for a week, and don't have a lot of the ins-and-outs of the services. That being said, I've spent at least 2 years diving into lambda and weird issues with it.

I'm not an employee of Amazon, and so my understanding can be off-base as well.

Lambdas are just managed EC2 instances. Each lambda code is stored in an AWS controlled S3 bucket; and on initial execution (cold start) pulled down, and run in their own chroot jail.
I've dealt with java lambdas the most, and I can say that they take your zip, and run the jail inside the zip. They keep your java process open, and just call the handler on each call (warm start.)
Each concurrent call can start another jail on another managed instance; getting the cold start time again.

You can get cold starts by uploading a new zip, or changing any of the lambda compute parameters.

The Golang works in a similar way, jails the zip, and keeps the program running, calling the handler as invokes come in.

I haven't done the python, node, or .NET enough to know if those are the same principles; I'd assume they are.

Interestingly, API Gateway really is just Cloudfront. Cloudfront is just the AWS managed API Gateway.

Oh, it's very different. Either the court figues out if there is any inheritance and distributes everything left over after settling any debts... Or the inheritor has to figure everything out himself, potentially indebting himself because he didn't know about a debt.

Accepting an inheritance is pretty risky in Germany, if your parents weren't well off.

And PayPal's letter would make sense if its left for the inheritor to figure out. But that doesn't seem to be the case if I understood the sibling comment correctly? It's always interesting to learn stuff like that :)

I've got a pet theory.

I often feel like carrying the weight of technical decision making on a moment-to-moment basis is what makes engineers bad at social skills. To put it another way: The technical problem is so big that it occupies your brain for weeks and months at a time. Any social interaction requires context-switching out of the technical problem, which is expensive and stressful.

Hence the stereotype that engineers are bad at social skills. If we were ever given enough time to decompress, we'd get right along.
People also seem to conveniently forget that being overweight is a problem. Also, intermittent fasting has none of the downsides you've mentioned.
IANAL and I don’t know anything about law on this subject, but from what I am reading the US tried to forbid websites from showing porn to minors in 1995 with the Communications Decency Act, but it was struck down two years later [1].

If somebody comes off as a jerk and doesn't appear to listen to you, it's almost certainly not because that is their "nature". They likely have reasons and incentives for acting like that. Possibly other people really _aren't_ helpful to them, and they haven't yet learned the fine political art of pretending otherwise.

If you want to hire a bunch of very smart people who are also very pliable, and won't question you even if they disagree- well, good luck. Start with naive college grads, probably.

I don't know how you were fasting (or if you actually tried fasting)

I have been doing intermittent fasting 3 days a week, each time 24 hours, for 6 months. I've lost 35 pounds thus far.

1.) I am still doing the same weights as 6 months ago, some muscle groups even more. I make sure I have a protein shake after.

2.) I did blood testing for everything with my doctor 3 months ago and last week. My doctor says i'm perfectly healthy

3.) again, if you're eating alot of complex carbohydrates after fasting, or before, your stomach will have more acids. the key is to reduce your complex carbs as well
Yeah, sorry, Perl is probably a bad example (I was really thinking of Mason, and even then it's a bad example). Pulled that from the list!
Thing is, postgres has come further.
Exactly how long do you need to fast to "lose all muscle mass" and "suffer malnutrition". You mean continual intermittent fasting or just not eating for a long duration? Any sources on this?
Jesus, this would be a great novel about a person whose entire life and reason for being was to be a test case for some massive application.
They're both bad. It feels like a reverse Sophie's Choice to have to pick one.

The real friction in the system is always in the boundaries between systems. With microservices it's all boundaries. Instead of a Ball of Mud you have Trees and No Forest. Refactoring is a bloody nightmare. Perf Analysis is a game of finger pointing that you can't defuse.
I would flip this argument around 180 degrees. Once you have any system that's built by large numbers of people, you have to discuss and negotiate your interfaces. You can either do this implicitly, by having a shared codebase and making sure that your test coverage and code reviews guarantee backwards compatibility, or explicitly, by defining service interfaces and black-boxing behind them.
Can't wait to find out what is next on the list of terrible things that will kill us as the climate continues to warm.

Why are people jumping from EC2 to colo and skipping dedicated servers? Mystery of my life. We were running the 75th largest site in the US some years ago (as measured by Quantcast), ran the numbers and colo was ridiculously expensive and way more troublesome.
That NUMMI plant used to do ~430,000 vehicles per year so Tesla in theory could produce that many without expanding to a new facility but the shortfalls of a plant on the West Coast away from so many suppliers in a very high cost-of-living area are going to make that a much less attractive proposition. I wouldn't be surprised if they're in talks for a South Carolina or Alabama facility to produce their Model 3s and if they reserve the Fremont facility for their higher-end models.
And he answered it, with the answer being "no".
You are describing "design" which encompasses things like modern art, designer clothes and design patterns.

The thing with design is that it isn't a science or formal field of logic. I can use math to determine the shortest distances from point A to point B but I can't prove why a design for product A is definitively better than a design for product B.

With no science we are doomed to iterate over our designs without ever truly knowing which design was the best.
hmm. This might just be a clarification of terms, but couldn't you say that 'predicting' something is merely a type of conclusion where the information used in the process of reasoning is incomplete or noisy?

So all predictions are conclusions but not all conclusions are predictions. I.e, a deductive argument comes to a conclusion, but, as we know, inferential methods aren't deductive.
It's because a lot of us are nerds. Also, more socially adept engineers tend to end up in leadership positions.

Today's "exotic" (which is actually just high-end commodity) is tomorrow's middling.

I'm not sure it's fair to summarize any one thing as "the entire point" of Hadoop, but, as I recall, it was, originally, an open source implementation of Google's Map-Reduce paper. Put another way, it was a way to bring Google's compute strategy to the masses.

That said, the notion that there is "commodity, cheap, off the shelf PC hardware" and "exotic specifications" is completely a false dichotomy, especially in the face of what, for example, Google actually does.

Google goes cheap. Very cheap. It's custom and exotic, just optimized for cost, but not absolute cost per nod, rather the ratio of cost for performance.

That last part is what's missing from every single Hadoop installation I've personally seen (or that anyone I know has personally seen), the maximization of performance for cost. Instead, there's an inexplicable desire to increase node count by using cheaper nodes, no matter the performance.

> Except that of course nowadays such hardware is just a couple of clicks away in AWS.

I'm a bit unclear what the "except" means here. I don't believe AWS has the truly high-end specs available (and never has, historically, so we can reasonably assume it never will). It's also very not-cheap.
Six headwinds to Netflix’s growth that you neglected
Your criticisms are valid, however given the audience I doubt most Americans would actually 'fast,' and instead would simply skip dinner, wake up actually-hungry instead of just salty-fat-hungry, and perhaps lose a few pounds.

Plus, light fasting (aka, skipping a couple of meals) actually feels really good!
My experience, when it comes to scraping airline websites, the airline's legal department usually doesn't wait to have proof that you were the one that actually scraped them. If you have their data on your website, they send you a C&D, and if they continue to find their data on your website, they will happily sue you. In other words, doesn't matter how you got the data, you must've broken the law if you got their data.

I just had a project crash that was setup on 2015 (using gulp), i had to update one dependency and that dependency forced me to update the entire package.json to latest versions, so i had to fix the entire build setup and config files.

Same happened with a Rails/React project that was setup last year, i tried to update one package that was marked as vulnerable, but it ended up requiring the same thing. I opted to leave that package.

I've been working with node for a long time, but i feel like is the same level of stability since the start. Thats very different with Ruby or PHP, you can have old setups working just fine, maybe requiring some extra steps to build certain dependencies but overall working.
