Building Serverless React GraphQL Applications with AWS AppSync
> maybe there are problem domains where you can get away without transactions, but I'm quite sure that a marketplace that arranges transportation for fee is not one of them.

I think you'd be surprised/alarmed at how little transactions actually get used in the software world. Not just on small systems where it doesn't matter but I've seen a complete absence of them in big financial ones handling billions of dollars worth transactions (the real world kind) a day. Some senior, highly paid people even defend this practice for performance reasons because they don't realize the performance cost of implicit transactions. And this is just the in process stuff where transactions are totally feasible, it get's even worse when you look at how much is moved around via csv files to FTP and excel sheets attached to emails. I've spent the last 2 weeks being paid to fix data consistency issues that should never have been issues in the first place.

Maybe when we're teaching database theory we shouldn't start at select/join but at begin transaction/commit/rollback?

Eh? I can see how they could match Workers' raw CPU throughput by simply turning off throttling. But how would they "crush" it? And how can they easily improve other performance measures like network latency, cold start time, or deploy time? Honestly curious what you're getting at here.

Thanks for the kind words.
I recently switched to BitWarden from Lastpass after trying a few different options including pass, Enpass and KeePass options.

95% of my usage is in the desktop browser, and the UI of their add-on is great, IMO.

Lastpass' had been getting worse for some time, and their shuttering of Xmarks finally left me with no good reason to stay.

Using the add-on with Firefox on my phone is reasonable, although could be a bit better. Phone experience in general I'd say is also quite reasonable - not used it that much yet, but I think it is quite comparable to other offerings.

how in God's name do you end up with _thousands_ of logins, or even 800? I work in a pretty large MSP in IT with tons of different programs, websites, and clients. Even if I added every single password (which I most surely would not do), I can't imagine there being more than two or three hundred. Conservatively, if every of two hundred clients has thirty passwords, that's still only 600.
GA has per site unique cookies. It cannot very well build profiles that the conspiracy theories accuse it of.

As for the quotes terms, the same are there for any personal information (in my EU-based account at least) and you grossly misread it: it says you cannot send Google protected classes of information, not that you cannot use GA at all.

The reason is obvious: Google does not want to have any legal obligations from running GA. Same with forbidding storage of personal information.

Patents and trade secrets are tools for two different types of IP. If you've got a thing you can keep hidden, then you keep it as a trade secret. The quintessential example is a secret recipe like the formula for Coca-Cola or Google's PageRank. If you've got a thing you can't keep hidden, for example because it gets shipped to a customer and can be reverse-engineered, then you can apply for a patent on it.

Regarding a patent revealing trade secrets, an applicant really has no incentive to do so. A patent only needs to enable a person of ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention. That has been interpreted to mean without undue experimentation, meaning some experimentation may be necessary. [0]. And there is a requirement that a patent set out the "best mode" contemplated by the inventor, but a failure to do so doesn't result in the invalidation of the patent. [1].

We got my 80yo grandma a low-end android (I think it runs 3.x android?) tablet with keyboard-cover. It took some learning on her side and sometimes answering some really confusing tech-support questions on my side (i.e. I was reading news and suddenly everything dissapeared, how do I get everything back?)

She basically uses the tablet as her Hangouts machine and sometimes she reads news. She likes the keyboard-cover, as she was a touch-typist when still working 25 years ago.

In your place, I would probably talk to her, if the chromebook she already has wouldn't be the best solution, re-configuring it in a way that the she wouldn't need to remember the login password and wifi-password should be doable.

If she really wants a phone, I would buy something with large enough screen, sturdy, with a good grip and affordable enough to be replaced once every year. I would choose operating system I would be able to do tech support for on the phone.

Bitwarden is objectivity less secure than 1Password or Keepass actually, at the very least because it doesn’t have a desktop application.

Displaying hidden text is one of the places where text browsers can "fix" broken web pages. There are broken web pages that hide the text you want to read until you click on some JavaScript modal, or some "Click to continue reading" link/button that breaks scrolling. w3m displays hidden text and greatly improves readability on many web pages.

You can argue that using the CSS display property is a bad hack around the poor performance of adding/removing DOM elements, but the general problem of trying to automatically adapt a GUI application to terminal display does not change (having the GUI be emulated in HTML that is meant to be displayed in the GUI of the web browser just adds a layer of indirection, difficulty, and inefficiency). On the other hand, web pages that are really hypertext documents wrapped in useless and inaccessible JavaScript and CSS can have all of the event handlers and CSS properties ignored, and become legible again. This is something that text browsers do well, and why text browsers continue to be relevant today.
Was the data transfer easy between the 2? I'm thinking of doing the same.
"every member of the ecosystem plays a role in sustaining the ecosystem" is not entirely true - there are many members of the ecosystem (including this particular species of mosquitoes) that provably are not required to sustain the ecosystem, because they're invasive species who clearly weren't needed to sustain that ecosystem which was just fine before they arrived. In many cases (though not this one) the invasive species actively contributes to destruction of the ecosystem, so preserving the ecosystem may require to fully eliminate a particular species from it.

Most members of an ecosystem play a role in sustaining it, but certainly not all.

Anecdotally, in my first year of university a tutor of mine did a demonstration on Fechner Colour. We walked into the lab and he had a spinning disc on a motor, that was apparently pink in colour. He asked the class (*first year students) what colours we thought each half of the disc were to create the pink shade. Most people guessed pink and white, while a couple of people had correct guesses..

When he stopped the motor, the disc spun down and it was yellow on one side, and blue on the other.

Yeah, it hasn't been updated since 2017. But the user lookup (which includes fetching your or any users' list of followers/followings/mutuals) seems to work as well as ever, likely because the pertinent API endpoints haven't changed much. I still sometimes use `t` to do a quick fetch of the last 3,200 tweets of any user in CSV format. Though I now prefer using the `twarc` Python library, which is still being actively updated and gives the ability to preserve the data in its original JSON: https://github.com/DocNow/twarc

I mean, if they did, think about how much greater the risk would be for people like PornHub.
On balance I feel that that hypothetical is more likely to be helpful than harmful. Naturally, since I supported it. But of course I could be wrong. And it's very easy I think to say "let's be cautious" because we don't know. And I think it's a valid criticism to say that position is not adding any value. It's not. But maybe it is trying to preserve some value, and just because it's easy doesn't make caution an unworkable strategy.

But in the worst case caution could be a harmful position. So in these tech matters I think it's adaptive that we disagree, since if we were (hypothetically) both on the same ecosystem-engineering team, maybe our diverse opinions would contribute to a balanced strategy that I think can have the best chance of greatest net benefit.

Interesting point about null. How can we factor in risks like 'unknown unknowns' into null hypothesis thinking? I don't know right now. But I think one issue/limitation with null hypothesis thinking is that it is not imaginative. This makes it very applicable for assessing evidence for something. But not applicable for thinking about the unknown risks that could occur for something. Different thinking frameworks for different problems, not one-sized fits all, I think. But I think it is applicable for you to use it here to advocate your position of pushing forward unless we have evidence otherwise. My position differs in that I'm saying I think we need to be imaginative about the potential risks.

I agree with you we need this, though. I’m frequently running CI in Docker, and this makes launching a new container from CI a pain.
It’s expensive to setup, if you need to rent a VPS it’s going to cost $5 per month which is probably the most expensive option and if you can’t trust somebody else’s server, you definitely CANNOT trust your own VPS ;-)
It's in the article. Windows could unload code segments that weren't running to free space for other purposes. But those functions might be on a process call stack. So it used the otherwise irrelevant low bit of the BP register to store whether a frame was a near or far call, thus allowing the unload code to fix up the return address to allow for reloading on demand.

It's not inherently prudent to wait and do more analysis; proceeding too quickly is dangerous since it may do harm, but proceeding too slowly is dangerous since people are dying right now and needlessly postponing a solution means needlessly murdering many people. There's a tradeoff of "carefulness" where beyond a certain level waiting to do extra analysis is harmful. For this particular species of mosquitoes we currently have a good reason to believe that we are beyond this point, we have enough information about the risks so that it's prudent to go ahead and, well, save lives.

I think you're clutching at straws to be honest.

> If you download the package sources manually, the effort required to type "makepkg" versus "less PKGBUILD" isn't significant. Contrast this to using a helper, where pressing a key to continue building is an awful lot more tempting than having the helper open the PKGBUILD in your editor (where you now have to press many more keys to continue)--regardless of the defaults.

You could make the same argument about effort to skip checking being fewer keystrokes to argue that yaourt makes its more convenient to check because that is also fewer keystrokes than typing an additional command manually in the command line. Thus I think the actual reality is people who are lazy will skip a self audit regardless of how they choose to build the package. Ie youart isn't problem.

> Plus, using the helper as a glorified fetch tool gives you something of an intermediate package cache as opposed to dumping everything in /tmp and nuking it between boots.

So change the build location. It's all configurable. /tmp makes sense as a default but I have mine set elsewhere. On a previous system I even had yaourt configured to build in its own ZFS tank.

> Also, I believe yaourt is considered deprecated as it hasn't seen updates in quite some time. I'd suggest something else like aurman or yay.

I often hear the same complaint made about Android apps (re it's not been updated in a while) but when it already does everything it needs to then why should it need to see further updates? It's not like yaourt doesn't keep track of security updates (I mean it's all just wrappers around GNU and BSD tools so if there's a bug in tar or OpenSSL then they will be updated independently anyway).

I've been using yaourt for several years and frankly I've never once felt "damn, this thing needs more maintenance".
And here I always thought it's EVPs that come up with those ridiculous security measures, not IT/SEC guys, and that's the lower-level managers that have to fight to actually get something done. At one of my previous jobs, it was our direct boss that fought tooth and nail to shield our programming teams from the consequences of the whole corporation deciding to level up some more in ISO standards...

Don't get me wrong. I understand the need for security measures in a company. But there must be some middle ground - some way of securing data and networks without incurring a 1000% penalty on productivity for all your programming teams.

There's a common misconception among many engineers that they own the code that they write when employed by many traditional valley firms. A thorough reading of the employment contract would usually resolve this, but how many engineers do you know who don't port some of their code between firms?

There's also a separate cultural clash between many Eastern cultures and many Western cultures surrounding property and ownership rights around intangible assets. I'm not well versed enough to adequately enumerate them with the appropriate level of detail.

I'll bet a dollar, though, that depending on this engineer's upbringing, one of these two applies and explains the "no big deal" mentality.

If it's possible to do something like this at all, I think it must be based on techniques largely yet-to-be-discovered. To accurately model biology on the intracellular level, you need a "map" of the cell down to the molecular level, plus fast, general, highly accurate methods for simulating molecular-level chemistry.

For the chemical simulation side of things, it would take many centuries of continued Moore's Law progress to make today's most accurate algorithms for fully quantum chemistry run fast enough. And the wild ride of Moore's Law already appears to be closer to its end than its beginning. We'd need fundamental algorithmic breakthroughs to make it feasible without relying on better simulation hardware solving the problem. That might be possible, but I don't when/how/if such algorithms may appear.

On the problem of getting a ground-truth molecular map of a cell in the first place, we know that there are many gaps in current models. We're not sure where all of them are. Even if you had the fast, efficient, vast molecular simulation capacity I sketched above, it would still take a lot of experiment/simulation comparisons to be sure that all the biologically relevant features had been captured in the original model.

Even now I'm probably badly understating all the problems on the biology side. I worked at the interface of chemistry, biology, and chemical physics, but I was more familiar with the software/physics side of things. I learned just about enough biology to be useful in my role and to be grateful that even my most complicated debugging sessions didn't involve 3 billion years' worth of undocumented legacy code running on wet nanotechnology.

A couple of years ago I was accused of stealing someone's code and claiming it as my own. Accusations were made on prominent reddits, in pull requests and issues submitted to my Github repository, here on HN and in takedown requests emailed directly to me. Needless to say that the work is completely and utterly my own and the accusations are baseless.
