I think the title should rather be "write stable architecture", this is kind of misleading. The code can still be unstable according to this ;)
I think this is a good point, but reminds me of a comment about space travel software/firmware (probably Elon or NPR astronaut interview) where you know you can’t push any more updates or hit redo. I think it changes the priority of design/features and you just don’t release bs, compare to the Apple maps/console game/xx where products literally ship broken becasuce you can always fix with a 5gb patch next week.

What counts a breaking change? I would say that strictly speaking anything could be a breaking change if an user is crazy enough, so increasing major version all the time is not particularly useful - I mean, you could do that, but what is the purpose of semver then. Consider a following function.

f(arg: String): Output

Now, let's say that we change it to be generic. Let's assume that `String` implements `SomeInterface<Output>`.

f<T: SomeInterface<U>, U>(arg: T): U

An user is crazy and passed an empty generic type list and their code broke as there are now two generic arguments instead of none.

f<>("a")

Or for a different example, let's say that you want to introduce a new function, `g`, but the user does the following.

import yourlibrary.*
import otherlibrary.*

An user is using the function `g` from `otherlibrary`, and their code doesn't compile anymore due to an ambiguity.

I would say it's a minor change, but in theory it's possible for it to be a breaking change. I often had situations like this where something could be breaking, but the code had to be really unusual for it to break (and if it would break, it would be a compilation error).

Thanks for the pointer to Peter Sarnak's advice. I believe this is the history of ideas advice you were referring to on pg 1008 (1031 in pdf):

When learning an area, one should combine reading modern treatments with a study of the original papers, especially papers by the masters of our subject. One of the troubles with recent accounts of certain topics is that they can become too slick. As each new author finds cleverer proofs or treatments of a theory, the treatment evolves toward the one that contains the “shortest proofs.” Unfortunately, these are often in a form that causes the new student to ponder, “How did anyone think of this?” By going back to the original sources one can usually see the subject evolving naturally and understand how it has reached its modern form. (There will remain those unexpected and brilliant steps at which one can only marvel at the genius of the inventor, but there are far fewer of these than you might think.)

> In the threat scenario we're discussing bad guys aren't "stealing data from my password manager" they just have the password and OTP code that were filled out, possibly by hand.

Possibly by hand? You are definitely not discussing the same scenario as everyone else. They're talking about password and OTP being stored in the same password manager, both filled out at the same time all in software.

A key logger is stealing those bytes right out of the password manager's buffers. It takes more sophistication to dump the database, but it's a very small amount more.
It's not. Other popular european companies like Vodafone or Sky do the exact same thing. They tell you upfront that it will be X € for 12 months, and Y € starting with the 13th month. Unless you cancel.

Thanks, that search term did indeed show some interesting hits.
Ahh but that’s because the point of putting the trades on automatic is what allows insiders to trade even though they have inside information. As soon as you put trades on manual you’re opening yourself up to use inside information.

I don’t remember the story, but you can imagine a situation where you scheduled a big buy a year in advance right before earnings. You’ve done this consistently for a few years, and it’s paid off for you. The company has grown consistent quarter after quarter. Only now, this year right before the earnings call, you cancel the purchase.

Now tell me, do you think the company’s earnings exceeded expectations?

Definitely a tool or at least, mostly a tool - I continue to learn a lot from the site, largely from the comments but also from the links to articles, etc. I suppose it's important to define tool and entertainment. As I see it: A tool is something that helps you grow, create, learn, etc. Entertainment, on the other hand, is something with no intention of helping you, it's only for gratification purposes.

For instance, I think, mindlessly scrolling through reddit.com is a form of entertainment. But if you are subscribed to only certain particular subs in order, for example, to become a better writer, that would be a tool. This is a shaky example though.

So "sure"/"ack" ("it resolves")? That's roughly how I'd interpreted it from interacting with colleagues, an acknowledgement.
100MP IIRC - so not that enormous anymore compared with this sensor.

The nerves that connect to brain are impressive tho, the thickest in our body.
To me the major difference is the pressure differential of today's wave. It's a lot larger market than 80s AI, so it may provide more resources to overcome the hurdles. Or maybe it will get into another "comatose" decade.
At 25 I was in Iraq about to leave the army because my now ex-girlfriend was pregnant with my first child.

I had no 'civi street' skills and no job prospects, only wished to bring up my unborn baby, actually be there; with all my limbs.

Up to that point I had drifted through life with no plans and only joined the army because I lacked the skills or qualifications to do anything else.

I'm still drifting through, doing what I need to survive. I can't offer anything by way of advice. I had no idea what I wanted to do while at school or after. Being poor growing up meant I didn't touch a computer until I was about 24; having not grown up with them I never bothered with them. I was given at that time a second hand laptop and that was it for me, I was fascinated, I just wanted to understand how 1s and 0s could do what I was seeing.

Working on a degree at the moment so I can, hopefully, do something I'm actually interested in at some point in my life.

> while mirrorless tech is rapidly improving so today's models will lose their value quickly

It is improving very slowly, actually, by any standard of improvement. I have an almost 6-years midrange MFT camera, which I wanted to replace with the latest and greatest MFT, but things haven't changed in a significant way.

I've actually spent a holiday carrying around both the old camera and a "latest and greatest" APS-C, and taking the same pictures with both. While there was difference, it wasn't as large as one would expect from a ~5 years timeframe. Of course, I must mention that I don't generally take pictures in extremely challenging conditions (very low light, very fast focus speed etc.etc.).

On top of that, the MFT market radically changed in the last years. Nowadays the best sensors are in the top-of-line camers, which are very expensive (on par with APS-C), and it seems they're not permeating down to the midrange segment, as they used to do.

In other words, buying today a midrange MFT gives almost no noticeable improvement compared to a 5 years old midrange MFT. Buying a top-of-line MFT gives an advantage that is not as large as expected, while also being very expensive.

I don't imply that using MFT doesn't make sense (it's my favourite format), however, it's nowadays far from being revolutionary.
Do you think hiring those folks from The Onion has to do with the latest events?
This definitely gives me pause when considering moving to a high tax state like NY. It sounds like the kind of state where you pay your taxes and just hope the government leaves you alone, which is likely untrue if you are or become a high earner.

This kind of stuff will likely be litigated for years, especially as people with means are being harassed in this way. It will be interesting to see which of these tactics ultimately pass muster. I wonder if you could bring a RICO suite.
And IMO internet amplifies attention deficit, making it harder to read books unless you're very willing or isolated.
bbc.com redirects to bbc.co.uk in the UK, which is served over HTTPS. They just flipped that switch a couple of months ago, so I'd assume that it won't be long before bbc.com is also HTTPS.
I have zero knowledge in the field so all my questions are quite naive.

But the encryption process is public right ? So you can encrypt just like any client ?

First, I don't agree that if the attackers have access to the password, guessing that they have access to data stored with the password is "very unlikely".

Second, any theoretical advantage still has nothing to do with ratcheting...
”I market myself to potential clients as a "former federal prosecutor....it makes potential clients charged with crimes trust me more”

I dont know if that is the case for everyone. Make no mistake about it: prosecutors destroy lives, families, and careers for a living, and the vast majority of those on the receiving end have not committed conduct worthy of such destruction. They know this, and they still do it anyway. For some it’s just a paycheck, and others just enjoy making people suffer. But regardless of why they do it, I certainly wouldn’t knowingly allow someone that can sleep at night after throwing thousands of people to the wolves to be in the same room with me, let alone trust them with my criminal defense (or anything else for that matter).
My 96 yo neighbors use internet, without too much hassle. Just like most people they don't understand it, but they use games, search, chat .. funny.

Ask HN: Advice on High-Availability Wordpress and Amazon AWS
Looking for some advice on High Availability Wordpress and AWS.
We were on Digital Ocean but had outgrown what we had and so decided it was time to build a real hosting platform.

However, we have built out an AWS stack but is really slow compared to Digital Ocean. Page loads on AWS are 2seconds > 12 seconds - random. Where DO was stable around 2.9seconds.

AWS Current stack

TeraForm for AWS and Ansible Scripts for box setup (looking at RunDeck for Ansible running)

CloudFlare CDN > Amazon AWS (Large RDS (mySQL) + Micro EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 + PHP + NGNX + Redis cache + EFS

Controller Server for Ansible and looking at RunDeck to control it.

Auto Scaling

NewRelic and PapertailsApp for Monitoring.

BitBucket for core plugins, themes, base WP etc

Finding EFS is really slow :( . We have done the trick with 256gb file to go up to the next speed level but did not seem to make a difference.

Now trying .....

CloudFlare > AWS (Large RDS (mySQL) + XLarge EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 + PHP + Varnish in front of NGNX + Memcached (AWS ElastiCache) + EFS / S3 which looks to be a better solution so far - but feeling like we are just plugging stuff together without really having past experience so looking for someone who has been through this before.

Some blogs/posts reading that never put PHP on EFS and always use scripts to copy to EBS first. While Amazon best practice for high-availability Wordpress says EFS is fine - clearly not the case!

We also have Ansible scripts in place to move Wordpress sites between development > Staging > production instances. Before it used to take hours to move a site, with the scripts now takes around 10-20mins and seems to work.

Thanks

I think you may be conflating the directionality of success and "high-investment", to use your terminology. "High-investment" government tends to follow domestic success, not vice versa. For instance California is a phenomenally clear example of this. I assume you know what the San Francisco 49ers are named after?

It was the California gold rush of 1848-1855. 49ers was a slang term for the miners. This gold rush created San Francisco. In 1846 California was a backwoods settlement of 200 people. In 1842, its population was 36,000 and it was booming as the primary port on the way to the gold rushes. California was the only state that was granted statehood (which happened in 1850) without first being a territory as the US raced to lay claim to its riches and successes. The Comstock Lode (silver's not quite as exciting as gold I guess) discovered in Nevada would further grow the city.

Even getting down to Berkeley. The university was founded in 1869. You know all those Phoebe Hearst references around the campus? She was a huge early donor that helped really develop the college. And the money? She was the wife of George Hearst, who struck it rich during the gold/silver rushes. The cities (and state for that matter) were built from the ground up by the people, for the people. "High-investment" government only came much later.
The 'web' is kind of for the commons, but HTTPS is just a few steps away from being 'easy'. The steps required are frankly just a little too weird and ugly.

Most people making web sites, even many devs, don't necessarily want to, or have the wherewithal to deal with SSL.

Setting up SSL on AWS recently was a monster pain the rear for our little nothing project site, granted a lot of that was AWS oriented.

It needs to be easier, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
I mentioned it as it's what sometimes happens in London when the bus is very crowded. They do it because at the point it makes sense the rider experience is already horrible. For most buses it is front doors for getting on and rear (middle) for off. It's already independently controlled so it is not extra complication. But I do appreciate other places don't have the same system.
I can confirm that Kurento is still around and maintained. Soon to release version 6.8
But in the initial exploration of earth case, the communication lag was lower and the condition wouldn't have forced a divergence as radical as humanity would experience by going to another planet.

Just curious, which side do you drive on? Could it be that the problem that the random PM was looking to be solved is that the "harder" side (e.g. the one where your blind spot is partially obscured by the front passenger seat head rest) needs an assist?

I have mixed thoughts on driver assist technologies.

A Honda Jazz I drove once has the rear parking assist camera slightly off centre, so you park off centre if you rely on it. I didn't use it ever again.

A Kia Sorento I drove once had blind spot audio sensors on both sides - if you signalled, the car would gently tell you if there was something at or near your blind spot. Great... except you should be checking your blind spot anyway, right? I ended up ignoring it.

On the other hand, proximity sensors seem to me to be very useful for parallel parking in tight spaces. I'd miss it if it were gone.

I'm not sure what the consistent factor in all of these things are.
I think one of the advantages of that structure is the head of Google now just focuses on Google instead of trying to think about a dozen other businesses as well.

My unpopular (to me, even) prediction is that wartime will be the catalyst that makes self-driving cars ubiquitous. In times of peace having a car that kills its occupant even 1/10,000 of the time is unacceptable. In times of war having a car (or more likely, truck/tanker/tank) with no occupant is a huge competitive advantage, because someone is actively trying to kill the occupant. Build something with even a 90% chance of crashing and you still win, because you can take people off the battlefield entirely while your opponent loses precious soldiers with every vehicle that's destroyed.

Then after the war, people's risk tolerances get reset because quibbling over a 1/10,000 chance of death seems ridiculous when people have been actively trying to kill you for the last 5 years and a countable percentage of your friends are now dead.

The way global politics is going we probably don't even have to wait 10 years for this.
Because you can’t have 50 different standards. I mean you can, it just kills the market.

My father was exactly like this (he retired last year after 49 years in practice as a lawyer, several decades of which he was managing partner of his own firm) - if he needed to send an email, just like sending a letter, he would shout down the corridor to his secretary and she would send it for him. Here's one just for the HN open-office haters: he only really retired because the consultancy gig he'd taken on for the twilight of his career (during which he still had a secretary who would send emails for him) switched to an open-office floor plan and he was extremely miserable because he could no longer take a nap after lunch.

Curiously, post-retirement he's bought a smartphone and is actually moderately competent with it, in a way I never really saw him be with a computer...
