For many people the commute is the only, or at least the majority, 'alone time' that they have. I step off the bus and my heart sinks as I re-enter the maelstrom of family life.

The only other me-time I have is getting up at 05:30 to go for a run, which is magnitudes less pleasant than sitting on a bus.

So, as you say, everyone's opinion of commuting time differs. For me it is a highlight of the day.
Confused by why those issues are tied to serverless.

The only one that seems like it could even be related is the page loads being slower. But I'd be surprised if the issue were the serverless aspect of the architecture and not just that this software is apparently shoddy overall.
Thanks we will give it a go
Seems intuitive to me-- anything you ingest into your body has potential for harm. We pay a price every time we take something in.

Vaping and marijuana are two hot topics these days. They're less costly than tobacco and alcohol, but are certainly not free.

In the end, we all decide how to spend our lives. Some pleasures are worth the cost, others are not.

I agree there are many nuanced views. And I found our interaction useful in illuminating your views - I suspect they're not entirely dissimilar from my perspective.

The discourse does tend to quickly descend into defensiveness & assumptions of bad faith. For my part, I hope to do better the next time around. Cheers.

> Almost everyone, including myself, thought the guy meant well but had really lost his mind.

Yep. I know a guy that hang with him for a while and Stallman behaviour was already off. That was years ago.

But the original idea it is still relevant today. It is important to detach the message from the messenger.

> Thinking back, it's like we forgot our rights aren't guaranteed and didn't need to be protected or even considered at those levels.

Yes. I think that the success of the open source movement makes it commercially important and the message got diluted. There was a lot of pushback against LGPL and GPL licenses at that time.

Nowadays people contribute to projects that any company can take on and convert to a closed product. Just put some effort in some improvements - a nicer interface and some documentation - and the freemium version will overtake the free version. GPL was designed to make that move impossible unless the original company owned all the code, as then it can change the license whenever they want.
It really seems like we should be able to directly tax the foreign investment in order to improve public transit... I don't have any good ideas on this however.
I personally choose to place more emphasis on the sacrifices of individuals than on their position of prominence when determining how important an issue is. I would personally find an average-joe resignation more interesting than one from anyone who had much less to lose in terms of livelihood.
First of all, thanks for sharing this - it's a very thorough guide to implementing SIP.

Second, the author says that he has implemented a SIP client in JS as well. But my experience with open-source JS SIP clients (WebRTC) has been that their performance is significantly worse than the free version of xlite. (Both SipML and JSSIP have more frequent packet drops on the same systems than xlite).

Are there better JS implementations that are at least as robust as xlite?

I don;t live in Cambodia. When people here get hurt in my neighborhood they block traffic, are taken to hospital and are treated by teams of government-paid professionals. Then if they have severe head injuries that medical treatment may continue for many decades. We insist on helmets, as we insist on things like brakes and seatbelts, because we know that individual injuries quickly become everyone's problem.
It’s worth noting that Emacs’ built in lisp libraries are sort-of aot compiled: Emacs loads all the Lisp into memory, evaluating some initialisation stuff, then it does a gc, then it does a very scary “unexec” operation which has been in the source for around 30 years with most people so scared of the function that they only poke at it enough to make it just-about work. The function takes the current contents of memory and produces an ELF from it which will start up with the lisp libraries already loaded into memory.

Don't recall any articles from earlier this year saying that Tesla had a 99% chance of going bankrupt within 3 months, and I read almost all of them. You got any links?

Looks to me like the wife didn't get what she wanted for her "women in CS" initiation and now she is turning it into some sexist issue. I can't take all those sexism in the IT industry seriously, I have worked in many different industries and haven't seen that people in IT are different to lawyers or doctors or architects or whatever other profession. It is the same milieu of middle class, usually liberal people, the whole thing is just some people imagination.

I mean, I get where you were going, but this statement is incorrect. I'm willing to bet that you consume a lot of content that you didn't get directly from the people that produced it.

To your other points I largely agree. I have a giant box of cd's that I move with me from residence to residence, but never open. At this point it's really more of a burden, far outweighing the value I might get out of it someday if I ever decide to finally open it back up.
Please don't take HN threads on generic tangents and certainly not political ones.
IMHO, the smart phone has a lot to do with this.

The phone acts as a communication device, a GPS, a flashlight, a camera, a music player, a library, etc. etc. It's also the end-all entertainment device.

It's natural to own less stuff. There's too much interesting stuff right there in your palm.

Historically everything from the ownership society has died - everything. Do you still buy betamax players? lazerdisc players? minidisc or walkmans? no...

When the hell have you ever been banned from netflix? If the price goes up, i'll just cancel the service. I don't "collect" netflix shows or have any desire to do anything to feel complete so a change of terms of service, rates, offers or even content doesn't matter to me. I only buy the service because it affords what I want and if that stops, i'll choose a different service.

Historically and basing the future on the explosive growth of current trends, our options are ONLY increasing. There are networks just for science documentaries. I paid 25 bucks with one service to watch probably 200 documentaries over 5 months that i could have NEVER experienced anywhere else and would i want to own them? never... but guess what. in a few years as new content is produced and i can pay another 25-30 bucks and re-binge a bunch of stuff and if this service goes out there are already competing services.

I have more control, more flexibility, more content, more freedom of choice, more freedom of how i can consume, more ways to download, stream, watch, play than i've ever had in my life.

Netflix works on my tv, phone, tablet, computer, Xbox, it works on chrome, safari, edge, firefox.

How can you not see how democratizing this is? I'm so glad I don't have to wait 3 years for disney to "unlock their content warehouse and have a special release of a movie that cam out 10 years ago for the great low price of 99.99" - we're you around for those days?

The guile-emacs branch afaik did not use precompiled byte-code. So startup took ages.

Guile itself is making huge progress. There's ongoing work for JIT compilation as well. Andy Wingo drives this work. And he brings a lot of experience from work on the V8 Javascript engine.

I see no technical reason why guile-elisp should be any slower than normal elisp. It's just that some of the optimizations have not yet been put into place. After a switchover all the improvements from Guile will come for free in the future.

See the branches named "master", "lightning" and "wip-elisp" here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git
You'd be perpetually 50 releases out of date if it did.
The extreme version is to reproduce a step from building Emacs where you produce a binary with the libraries you want already loaded into memory. This is like making a lisp-image except the image also includes a big C text editor

This is the exact reason I have exclusively sought out startups in the past. But quite frankly the Bay Area is simply to expensive to do that anymore.

I deeply miss that life and still tinker with side projects. But if that city can not solve it's cost of living crisis, there will continue to be a smaller and smaller pool of people that can afford the startup life.
Hey there, fn dev here. Cool to hear about folks testing the graal images! We have done some experimental work and made some discoveries in the container cold start time dept. which we've documented https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/building-a-container-run... (see: Fast Container Startup).

The main things are optimizations around pre-allocating network namespaces, we've built some experimental code to skirt around this https://github.com/fnproject/fn/blob/master/api/agent/driver... (which can be configured & tested) and we're testing approaches like this to attempt to get start times down to as low as we can. <100ms still seems like a lofty goal at this point, but this is becoming a pain point for various FaaS platforms that are container based and some optimization work should come out of all this. A few layers up, it's a little easier to speed things when throughput increases for a given function, but devs do seem to want the 0->1 case to be almost as fast as the 'hot' case so we FaaS people need to answer this better in general, it isn't something we want users to have to think about!
They've gamed the tests quite a bit over the years. Yet so far, even after all the scrutiny, VW is the only one that was actually caught cheating. VW is probably enjoying the muddy message everywhere that "everyone does it" but so far only VW has actually been found to be cheating.
> Serverless

> A new slot configuration property which defines the resource allocation in terms of CPU and Memory, defaulting to c.125-m512 (.125 of a vCPU and 512MB of memory)

Sure sounds like needing to be concerned about the hardware. That feels like a leaky abstraction that the serverless design pattern claims or appears to take care of, but seems like it doesn't in practice. Is "serverless" the right level of abstraction? I'm not sure.

> we need more like him.

Not Musk bashing, I am genuinely curious as to why you think that?
The female-in-power is less likely to abuse precisely because of fundamental biological differences. Men and woman differ significantly in their sexual behavior and sexual strategies because they have evolved through millions of years of sexual selection producing significant sexual dimorphism. We can easily observe the same behavior in other animals species, who lack any culture and gender roles.
They have lots of segmented dating sites.

Are you looking for the same thing on a dating site as your mother?
Not eliminate roads. If anything actively acknowledge their utility and work to specialize/classify them for discrete applications. Right now mopeds and 18-wheelers share the same space. Commuters and emergency vehicles. Bus stops overlap bike lanes. Professional commercial drivers share the road with barely trained drivers who passed a test.

A greenfield design would be something like this:

Make access/collector roads slower.

Personal vehicles smaller/lighter more like golf carts and e-bikes. Limited to 25mph. For use on neighborhood access and collector roads. The lower speeds and lighter weights allow these vehicles to shed a lot of complexity/cost. Licensing can remain easy, and insurance costs are reduced. Parking requirements are reduced.

Make arterials and highways larger/faster.

Service vehicles, freight and public transportation could be less constrained by lane sizes. Your 'bus' is now two lanes wide and can carry the smaller personal vehicles as cargo (like ferry service on land). The bus has fewer stops because it can expect passengers to travel further under their own power, rather than stop every block. Arterials/highways are for 'professional' uses. Freight, Emergency Services, Public transit. Licensing requirements are more strict etc...

Because "it would have been different if you'd said 'no' more clearly" is a horribly common refrain that should be removed from our vocabulary. A weak no is still no and we should never criticize somebody for having a hard time saying no forcefully.

> Just weeks later, the original sponsor of the Illinois privacy act, a genial Chicago-area lawmaker named Terry Link, abruptly proposed an amendment to his own law. The amendment clarified that digital photographs did not count as a source of biometric information and that the law only protected facial scans conducted “in person.” A Facebook official told me that the company had provided Link with suggestions for clarifying the law, not the language itself. But in a recent interview, Link recalled that the amendment language was given to him directly by a lawyer for Facebook. (Link did not specify who, and would not comment on why he had pursued the amendment in the first place.) Indeed, the amendment, introduced with only a few days left in the year’s legislative session, seemed tailored to buttress Facebook’s arguments in the California lawsuit, leaving Facebook and other companies free to create face scans from digital pictures without consent.

Wow. Facebook get sued, so their lawyer simply emails the changes to law they need in order to get off.

And it’s done. That seems incredibly corrupt.

I can’t find a campaign funding details regarding Facebook contributes (I assume they’re through intermediaries of some kind) I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook contributed tho, is anyone more skilled in this area?

Cops never enforce these rules, at least not pre-accident. Pulling over a scooter, checking the license, and then checking the specifics of the vehicle, takes time. They have bigger fish to fry (speeding/parking tickets). In my area we have color-coded stickers on our license plates so that cops can see whether your insurance is still valid. It isn't a perfect system, but a special license plate for non-motorcycle things might make their job easier. Everyone without the special plate would need a motorcycle license.

What really gets me angry is dealerships selling scooters, even full motorcycles, to people without appropriate licenses. You don't need a license to own a car/truck/motorcycle, only to use it. They know what they are doing when they sell a 250cc scooter to someone without a license.

My impression is that most people think cycling regularly is far more difficult than it actually is.

You'll adapt in more than one way. You'll get in better shape, so you won't sweat as much or be as tired by the cycling (or tired at all). More importantly, your attitude towards the discomfort will change. Yes, it takes effort and can be uncomfortable, but it's all perfectly acceptable after a while. Seems like a good example of the hedonic treadmill.
This happened when the municipal archive in Cologne, Germany collapsed. There was a subway construction site under the ground. Apart from problems with groundwater, iron reinforcement material for the tunnels had been stolen. The whole archive with many documents from the middle ages was reduced to rubble, and two lifes were lost. Had that happened a few days earlier, hundreds of people could have died.

The term "computer science" is also largely crappy but we have it for historical reasons. Criticism of the name is about as shallow as it gets, especially since it is clear that a very large portion of gender oppression is directed against women.

There is almost certainly a more accurate name. But changing the name would accomplish so little that sparring over the name feels like a distraction rather than progress.
