They are dealing in bad faith when they post the usual retort - “why is it called serverless? Don’t you idiots know there are still servers involved?” Not directed at you, just speaking hypothetically.

In the context of AWS...

App/web servers

EC2 — I don’t have to manage the underlying hardware but I still have to either overprovision to deal with spikes, setup autoscaling based on metrics that I define, write scripts to make sure that new instances in an autoscalimg group is up to date, deal with OS patches.

Serverless - lambda - I give AWS a zip file and do a little configuration. It figures out how to autoscale.

Build servers

Same issues as above with EC2 and my build environment has to have everything every developer needs to build and one configuration can interfere with another developers build.

Serverless CodeBuild - I create a Docker image of my build environment or use one of the prebuilt ones and tell CodeBuild to spin it up on demand. If 10 developers need to build ten different repos at once, No problem. When no one is building, no charges.

Databases

EC2 - all of the problems about the EC2 and I have to manage OS patches, database patches, replication, and backups

RDS - removes most of those issues.

Serverless Aurora/DynamoDB. You don’t have to worry about “instance sizes”.

Docker.

ECS vs. Fargate - same as above With lambda.

I had these weird skin rashes on my neck which just wouldn't go away. It became a problem since it made self conscious to the point that I decided to skip regular activities like swimming, etc out of fear of embarrassment.

Anyway homeopathy is still a big thing here so when nothing else worked I decided to give it a try based on a very high recommendation from my parents.

Lo and behold that thing was gone within a week. I would have never dreamt it because homeopathy makes no sense with the medicine being diluted to hell and I'm guessing maybe the sugar pills acted as a placebo but not sure why the other regular medicine didn't have the same effect.

Also I had pain in my knees and 1 month of regular prayam took it away (was suggested Arthroscopy because MRI showed a tear in my medial miniscus or something. Pranayam fixed it and it was 10 years ago and I didn't even have the surgery too). Did take medicine for reducing uric acid though so not sure if that did the trick.

Well that's my personal experience. I guess my experience has been good with alt medicine.
Thanks.

What does that mean, decide to use a custom domain?

I would use my own custom domain, self hosted, so wouldn't I manage my own SSL certificate for that?

Or when you say custom domain, are you talking about a subdomain of workorder.io, like mybigbiz.workorder.io? Again I would not do that, I would do mybigbiz.com and host there... that is fine, right? I don't think you could manage my SSL certificate for that, but I could be wrong.

Sounds like you think I should understand what you're saying, it's just that the information seems contradictory.

Well, if they are living in their house, I am not sure why it would matter if the value of it goes down.

They will still have a house to live in.

If instead it is an "investment", well that's the risk of investing. Nobody is forcing them to sell.

It is actually literally the opposite. It is that other people want to have a right to build stuff on property that they own, and the other home owner wants to force people not to do thie, in order to protect their investment.

How about people are instead allowed to build things on property that they own and nobody forces them to do otherwise?

Seeing ads in Amazon search results has substantially reduced my perceived trust in Amazon brand, since as a buyer I no longer feel like Amazon is on my side. I feel like I am Amazon's product. That it's me, who is for sale.
Quantum computing: the power to think outside the box
I've recently started doing the opposite. I'll search Amazon to see what products are recommended and see if I can find those (or something similar) in local stores. This is particularly true when I am buying something that I don't know much about. I basically use Amazon as initial research to discover what properties I should be looking for in an item.
There is one poorly made website that seems to be dominating this market. It's seeking dot com.

Yes, it happened. Two girls wanted to transition to a normal relationship after several months. One of them was this extremely smart girl I mentioned. But I just couldn't do it because of how we met. I did think about 3 girls (those two included) that I'd have no reason not to date them if we met in a different way.

1-2 at a time. When I'm single, I want to have some time for normal dating as well. They lasted from one month (or less if something didn't go well) to 8 months. It's a nice thing to be able to go out on normal dates while knowing that you can have sex with a girl just as good or better looking than the date and you're not cheating.

Only cash. I don't see why I would want to spend my time going to stores with them or shopping online. I know it's a thing - I was asked to but I declined. On the other hand, I don't mind dinners or even traveling together if I want a companion. But I don't understand guys who do the shopping thing - maybe they are really in love and that's the way for them to impress the girl? But to me, it's not a "real" relationship.
How I almost died building my tech company
Re “exeunt”— yes, sorry, I was quoting from memory and misremembered.

The point about not being “high literature” was that the plays had a very broad audience. Shakespeare’s company were asked to perform in front of royals as well, but the plays were were seen by up to 3000 people a day with the cheapest tickets being a penny (about the price of a loaf of bread - cheap even for its time). They were effectively mass entertainment for 16th century Londoners.
You are confused by this? It is because Apple have taken something away. If they took replaced the track pad with the sorry excuse that Dell or HP use, they will also be castigated for it.
True but I still manage to go down some rabbit holes in C++.

I could use the older STL iterators, but nooo I use a range, with a lambda. Returning a tuple with tie and pair and some more stuff from the latest C++1x standard.

And in Linux userland, I just want to check a pid but I invent some smart locking system to ensure I never get a false positive or negative.
What?

Other than strings desperately needing to be purged from the library, what are you talking about?

Haskell has some really solid standard libraries, and it's extended library set has some of the most sophisticated algorithms packages in the world.

Could you give examples of algorithms done wrong?
All of that data is still just based on Google trying to “infer” interests which is not as accurate as people telling them about themselves. For instance, Facebook knows your relationship status as soon as it changes because most people tell them. Facebook knows where people like to eat because people check in. They know which events you are going to that are advertised on FB because you tell them “that you are interested”.

Do you know how many people check in every single time they work out?

People don’t use Google Maps when they know where they are going, but they will check in.

As far as adblockers blocking contents “in the DOM”, that doesn’t help if you’re using the FB app - one of the most popular apps in the store and most people aren’t going to install network based ad blockers.

Only geeks use Google’s DNS. Most people use whatever DNS the DHCP settings on thier router tell them. If you are using cellular data can you even change your DNS?

Adaptive Hybrid Compaction for LSM Tree
Case Study: Big City Guide. Landing Page Design
So, one thing I didn't know for a long time was that grocery stores charge the producers of packaged goods for shelf space. Grocery stores buy the produce, around the periphery, but in many cases just rent the shelf space to the manufacturers of the finished products. Presumably this is not always the case, I'm not expert in that sector. But I wonder if the solution to the "Amazon's showroom" problem is to imitate the grocery store model.

I note that Amazon felt compelled to buy a grocery store chain, in order to get a purchase in that sector.
Could the Moon Be Our New Home? Scientists and Billionaires Think So
I have to ask: does the author not have the same problem in other languages? If not, why not?

Any major language has dozens of libraries that do almost-but-not-quite what you want. Any language with support for mactos, templates, or generics offers opportunities to write unnecessarily generic code. (The authors of Spring managed to get into that tarpit even before Java introduced generics!)
I haven't hit a length issue, it's not super long though. If I need to do a variation, I write it down with the simple password. The main two variations are that it requires a number (which I don't have in the complex password), so I just add a number to the simple password, or that it can't use special symbols (which I do have in the complex password), so I use the corresponding number (for example 1 instead of !) and write down that I used a number instead of a symbol.
If you spend some fraction of each task reflecting on how you could've written it 'better', then over time you'll learn to write more of your code 'better' from the start. (You could say making it more general is not always better, and that's true. But it is a win often enough to make it a skill worth cultivating.)
It's easier to ask for forgiveness then for permission. Next time you get a project, just do it in Clojure or Elixir, don't ask.

The beauty of this is, if you are using the JVM, JavaScript or Erlang, it doesn't even have to be green field. You can just write a section of the code in it.
Probably a bigger issue for Amazon is that a large part of the ad market is competitors or potential competitors. Walmart, Safeway, and Azure won't be advertising on Amazon.

Does P&G want Amazon to control more of the retail market? Not if it has any brains. Amazon has it's own branded home speaker systems and will not sell Google's. If Amazon brought out a shampoo brand, would it sell head and shoulders?
I've been long amazed at how bad Amazon's web ads are, as if the department was authorized to get rid of money as fast as possible. Besides the times -- because of one click through to a joke product like $10K ultrapremium audio cables -- that I would get followed by weeks with absurd ads, my favorite example is getting barraged by Battlestar Galactica season 3 ads right after I bought the damn thing. OTOH, perhaps Amazon's ad/recommendation system was too smart, trying to warn me from purchasing season 4.

I understand that big data learning systems are harder to tweak than what we'd suspect from ground-level day-to-day experience. But it just seems like Amazon still has plenty of room to apply some conventional heuristics to get far more efficiency than they do now.
There's a weird interpretation here that this post is the author expressing frustration with this process. I often have a similar experience and I wouldn't want it any other way! This process of repeatedly asking "what is this?" just doesn't seem to come up in the same way in other languages. This gives me the ability to do some practice I wouldn't otherwise be able to do, one that often has tremendous transfer over to "real work", because I can start to see patterns and get a feel for what is really going on once I get rid of all the dull IO tedium.

If you want an analogy, consider this like studying jazz or something. Sure, you could just notice a II V I progression and call it done, but if you pick away at each individual note, you can find a whole lot more going on behinds the scenes.

Basically, I don't really consider what's happening in the blog post a bad thing. It just has a time and a place, and you need to be aware when it's the wrong time.
Unfortunately, that’s true. I bought three Roku TVs of different sizes in the course of year from Amazon. Actually four. I bought one for my dad.

Google knows all that things too, without you having to expressly tell them.

Where have you been? You are constantly tracked if you have an android device. (not sure whether it also works for iOS with google maps on). No need to check in.

Hobbies and interest - search history.

The amount of granular information that Google could potentially have on an individual person is terrifying. The search history alone is effectively a peek into your stream of consciousness.
Hi @natch,

You can point a custom domain to your Workorder.io site. Here is the guide on setting that up: https://workorder.io/guides/custom-domains/.

So basically, if you have the domain mybigbiz.com, you can set it up (in our app and at your DNS) and Workorder will: (1) Set up the SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt and (2) set up your Workorder site to be accessible at mybigbiz.com.

If you already have your own website, then you can set it up on a subdomain like shop.mybigbiz.com.

As a side note: It's planned that there will be an option to embed the Workorder form right into your website, but this release is not ready just yet.
ProteinQure | Computational drug design | Full-stack dev | Toronto (onsite)

ProteinQure is building the next generation of computational tools to aid in early-stage drug discovery. We're using a combination of physical simulations, quantum computing and reinforcement learning to reimagine how pharma companies create new therapeutics. The tools and molecules we are making hope to transform the world.

We are seeking a Full Stack Developer to become an integral part of our drug design team! You will be responsible for spearheading the development of our distributed internal simulation platform.

Responsibilities:
We're an early-stage startup and thus you will be working closely with our CTO and CSO on extending and developing our internal simulation platform, both on the frontend and backend. The simulation platform analyzes and visualizes data that is collected from the compute nodes. To address our scaling needs, and to leverage our resources efficiently, the platform runs on a heterogenous mix of cloud and internal nodes. To handle the complexity, you will rely on tools like containerization to cope with the different environments. While emphasis is made on data collection, preservation and internal system maintenance, your role will also involve the use of public databases and APIs, visualization, scraping, development of JS tools and UX design.

Nice to haves:
Familiarity with Python data science stack
Interest in quantum computing and machine learning
Basic understanding of protein structures and modelling

Required Qualifications:
Previous experience in software development, computer engineering, or other related fields
Familiarity with OOP-based Python 3, testing frameworks, REST, software architecture
Experience with web backend development, databases, networking and containerization
User level experience with work in cloud-based VM environment (i.e. AWS, Azure, OpenNebula, etc..)
Linux system administration skills
Passing knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
Deadline and detail-oriented
Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
>as a potential advertiser you don't really get to use all that targeting when placing ads.

you don't need to. since google is interested in providing you cheap relevant clicks, it will deliver them to you without exposing all the targetings. all the data available wil be utilized in choosing the right audience anyway.
Many of those ads are paid for by the seller. The seller frequently isnt Amazon.

Also, a compiler -- which is a pretty huge difference.
Aha, that was indeed the one - thanks :) And.. I can confirm meta http-equiv does not help in this scenario at all.
> Leica, Canon, Nikon, Sony... a camera is just a tool. Learn how to use it properly and you'll get great results.

This is true, but the nice thing about manual cameras is the tactile feedback which makes the experience of using the tool more pleasant and also helps the person using it learn more quickly (see The Hand by Frank R. Wilson).

Also, rangefinder cameras are faster to focus because, with experience, by the time you bring the camera to your eye, you will already have the focussing knob at correct distance. In low light this is more difficult, but it is the reason why I [consider rangefinders][1] the best cameras for [action, street and candid photography][2].

Daniel Dennett's "Breaking the Spell" is worth your time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_the_Spell:_Religion...
In the UK, the majority I run into seem to be near-placebo, but they do actually work in particular scenarios, it's just influenced by an algorithm.

The key one is Tube train buttons. For indoor stations, they are effectively placebo buttons, but once the weather gets very hot or cold and the Tube train is outdoors, they tend to become active. By the inconsistent way they're activated, I believe it's the train driver in control but that may be different on different lines.

The part that interests me is just how many people fail to notice they have no effect indoors - whilst it's potentially difficult to spot with an isolated button (eg at a road crossing), it's blatant for the Tube as everyone's door opens at the same time and everyone emerges at basically the same time just after (with tiny variations).

What stitches to tourists in London, is that it's the other way on UK railway trains (near London at least) - they usually do work always, and thus the inconsistency provides a further barrier to figuring it out!
Your experience doesn’t jibe with market realities. Merchants play all sort of games to be the number one listed search result when you are searching for something generic like “headphones”.
Haskell 2010 is pretty small. Comparable to say Clojure, but more complex than Scheme. GHC Haskell with the kitchen sink of extensions turned on is big. Very big.

Sticking to Haskell 2010 with a few extensions that make known behavior more consistent (GADTs, NoMonomorphismRestriction, and a few others in that vein) is the best bang for buck in my experience.
Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought settimeout was far simpler than this blog goes on about. My understanding is that it puts a frame into the queue that keeps getting ignored until _at least_ timeout ms has elapsed.

Therefore, settimeout of 0 is to basically place a frame into the queue, "do this once the stack is empty and there's nothing in front of it in the queue."

They're just about placing frames into some place in the queue.

Is it not that simple?
The Fall of the Football King Lionel Messi
Having a complex password that I use for everything allows it to be nonsensical. Mine is actually based off of a phrase (an idea inspired by XKCD) but the words have some dropped characters and it includes a name (so instead of correcthorsebatterystaple, think crrctChampbttrystple). I avoid making the simple password actual words as well, but it's simple enough that if I want to use the password at work but store it at home, I can memorize it easily for a day.

I agree that we've hit peak ridiculousness though.
I mean, from your perspective this makes sense, though as far as I’m concerned it boils down to “We want to pay the least amount of money for the best people.”

But for me as a developer, even though Gitlab would be really interesting to work for, it’s generally a bad deal because pretty much any other remote company is going to pay me a great deal more.

You’re basically relegating Gitlab to being the second choice for anyone in any region.

Gitlab is amazing though, so it must be working out alright.
