It kind of makes sense, but mostly from a marketing and planning standpoint. If you need pre-warming, that probably means you know enough about lambda (and AWS) to know that you need pre-warming. Setting it up via a Cloudwatch event is easy as pie.

Think about the implications if they added a button to the lambda console to "pre-warm". There are two options: (1) set up the cloudwatch event for you (which is a similar pattern we've seen AWS use for things like DynamoDB table autoscaling), or (2) have some other internal system which can keep them warm.

Its easy to say "just do (1), it'd be so easy", but the issue is that it introduces a very weird cost pattern to lambda. Lambda isn't just billed per invocation, its billed essentially with time live. So if they auto-configure a cloudwatch event, lets say it sends an empty `{}` argument, they have no idea how long your function is designed to run given that input. Moreover, they don't even know that your function won't error with that input. So they've got this new feature and even they can't predict what it will do to your bill or system stability, given the fact that we're dealing with arbitrary code blobs.

The only option is (2). Now think about allocating engineering effort to this problem: as a manager, would you rather allocate a team to work on an extra complex scheduling parameter, or continue to improve the fundamental warm-up time for any function? Maybe both. But now you've got this extra parameter there which increases customer expectations and makes future scheduling work much more difficult.
You haven't answered his question. Who got scammed, how?
Agreed, I've experienced the same "flow" playing The Sims. It's not that special.

Edit: actually, I probably got even more intensely into a flow state making custom tracks in Trackmania, but The Sims is more well known.
> [1] German highway is called "Autobahn", and has some interesting traffic rules.

Interesting? I don't think so. Very few and well reasoned rules apply to Autobahn: No turning around. No stopping. There are no crossings of any kind. As on all highways with more than one lane, a Rettungsgasse (emergency way) must be created as soon as traffic congests.

> Forgetting to check your right hand mirror and shoulder will

Incidentally, it seems mirrors are thought very differently in the US. It seems in the US a "blind spot free" arrangement is preferred, meanwhile in Germany the normal arrangement is preferred. Fun fact: The English Wikipedia has this image ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Bl... 9 ) as an example of incorrectly adjusted mirrors. The German Wikipedia uses the exact same image as an example of correctly adjusted mirrors.
Is there something equivalent for GCP? AFAIK you control load balancers via Ingress objects but that's about it in terms of integration, right?
> wouldn't it be possible for Windows to partition off part of the disk

This is what ChromeOS and Android do. At least on Android Pixel phones, there's A and B partitions for each of the boot, system, and vendor partitions. The bootloader tracks whether A or B should be booted. Userspace downloads the updates and writes to the opposite-than-booted partition. On reboot, the bootloader boots the latest partition. Downsize is these partitions are now double the size, so less space for the user partition.
As I stated in the GP post, I answered that in the sibling thread with you. I have a hard time believing you have forgotten already.

I did miss that, my bad.

I do think that means theres still a lot of growth in the market. The IPA market seems fairly tapped out, along with porters, stouts, and lagers. There's still other people that aren't really into craft beer because their tastes haven't been served, like myself with craft beer.

It's not like the current craft beer market is serving the population of the earth - the percentage that are teetotalers

Sorry for the late reply. Why is that? What determines the amount of energy needed to detect a given particle?
Netherlands driving instruction back in the day taught to take the cycling lane[1] for turning after first mirror-mirror-shoulder checking to be sure it's free. Reasoning is indeed to prevent a right hook collision after you thought you'd already checked.

[1] Note that busier roads tend to have cycling traffic completely separated onto a separate cycling path. But there's still roads with cycling lanes or shared with cycling traffic, so the rule is still used.
I think this is why AWS promotes DynamoDB so much, because it's one of the few datastores that work sanely with non-VPC lambdas.

Yes, and that's a gross oversimplification. Android got the idea from ChromeOS.

I suspect it's possible to reload the OS in place with kexec, but haven't proposed it yet.
This is dopey.

1. We have too little share to "hold publishers over a barrel"

2. Glad you agree users have right to block, so no one is holding anyone over a barrel -- we could just let publishers get nothing. Would you retract "scam" then? Argue consistently for a change.

3. You have not in any event supported "scam". Look the word up! If you mean we are "extorting", see 2. Our users want to support their sites, we help them. This is all found money above the zero that users by right to adblock leave publishers with today. Get it?

I'm done replying; almost all onlookers are way smarter than you and they have enough info to see through your slurs. Plus, the indentation level is too deep!
I think the problem isn't just that Windows updates happen immediately by default. It's that Windows updates when you boot up your computer.

See, turning on a computer is an explicit declaration that you want to use it. Windows updates ignores this declaration by taking that time to itself. It doesn't matter if I can defer the update by how many days if one day it will stop/delay me from using my computer when I want to. Almost no one outside of IT Administrators turns on computers solely for updates and maintenance.

Contrast that with Linux (Ubuntu distro in mind) where updates happen when the computer is shutting down. In contrast with turning your computer on, shutting down is a declaration that you no longer need your computer. That's the OS' cue to chime in and perform some routine maintenance.

I wonder how much of this is an architectural problem. The first time I remember being frustrated with this Windows behavior was in Vista. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall that 95, 98, and XP used to do updates on shut down. I know Vista isn't fondly remembered but, gee, did they deliberately make it so that it updates when you start your computer? Why couldn't a company who takes pride in backwards compatibility keep the old update behavior?

To wit, people make a big deal about how immediately can you use your computer (i.e., start-up times) but all your fancy-schmancy SSD + hyperthreading set-up is useless if Windows decides to update just before that one presentation you've spent weeks on. Updating on shut down is the user-friendly way.
Eventually the kernel has to be updated, which you want to reboot for. Plus ensuring that the entire userland is running the same new versions of base system libraries isn't much less disruptive than simply rebooting.

Anyway, ChromeOS swaps the system and kernel between 4 partitions [1] - automatic update effectively installs a new system into the system partitions you're not booted from, then tells the boot loader to boot from the other ones next reboot.

Vic Spitz – Still Got It for Them
It is somewhat arbitrary though, isn't it? If AWS adds the ability to use security groups without a VPC, a lot of these issues go away wrt vpc or siloed infrastructure limits (cold starts).

There are still reasons to be in a private network - Being "one typo away" from exposing your services/db to the world is scary. But that seems like a solveable problem as well...
I don’t think it’s a problem that they aren’t equal. This is reasonable. The problem is that it is hard for one to foresee this error. The mental model of bytes and strings is likely to be either their equal-looking literals or a mental concept of “bytes and strings are basically the same except for some exceptions.” One cannot reasonably trace every variable to figure out whether it is a bytes or a string. The comparison a == b being false comparing strings to bytes makes sense when a and b could be anything. However when b is already definitely a (byte) string, it is more useful to get an error when a has a different type.

What is your opinion on numbers:

Should 1 == 1.0?

What about 1+0j?

Or 1/1 (the rational number, although I’m not sure this can be constructed)?
Yes, please read the directions that were quoted carefully. Specifically, "and open the door using the right hand as far as is necessary and exit the vehicle."
Pretty much everything you've described is possible in Python. The open function can return bytes or utf8, depending on what you ask for, and converting between the two is simply a call to .decode or .encode.

Combing text with bytes is a type error.

There, you're ready for text in python3.
The existing craft beer community seems to have a big element of fashion to it.

I have a social circle of friends who are very into craft beer. I have seen them throw out beer they had already purchased just because a brewery had sold to a big brewer like InBev.

At first I thought it was an ethical boycott like boycotting Nestle. After talking to them I found out it was solely because they were cool anymore and they didn't want to be seen associated with the brand.

The exact quote I heard was "I don't want to be caught drinking anything someone in college knows about"

"It's a scam because you're stealing from publishers and then using tokens to leverage your ill-gotten gains."

But we are not stealing from publishers, per your own agreement that users have the right to block ads. You are contradicting yourself. Anyway, this does not justify "scam", which is not the same word as "theft" if noun or "steal" if verb. Duh!

How tokens "leverage" anything (no debt, no forward market, no speculation) is beyond me, but save it.
A simple scale of build quality and repairablity that must be glued on the box, similar to the energy class (at least in the EU) would be a good start.

My own humble tip - switch this shit off. Here's what I've found to work for me:

0. install whichever Windows 10 has the group policy editor - I've got Windows 10 Pro, I think. (I'm at home right now and my work laptop is at the office)

1. run gpedit.msc

2. Go to Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update

3. Double-click Configure Automatic Updates

4. Set up as follows:

- Overall group policy setting = Enabled
- Configure automatic updating = 3 - Auto download and notify for install
- Install during automatic maintenance = unticked
- Scheduled install day = 0 - every day
- Scheduled install time = 03:00
- "If you have blah blah" = Every week
- Install updates for other Microsoft products = unticked

Result seems to be that updates are downloaded, and there are notifications, but there are no forced reboots.

Three things to note:

- this works for me. Ask yourself: are you me? But even if you aren't, don't let that put you off, because you might still get lucky

- there's a popup that pops up to say something like "updates are ready, click to install" - and this actually means literally precisely what it says, nothing more and nothing less, so for god's sake don't do what I did at first and click it thinking that it means you'll get the option of saying no afterwards and then wonder why all the updates are installing. Go to the updates section of the control panel by hand to see what updates are ready before approving them

- the above settings are just what I have set on my work laptop, copied out from the dialog box, based on a screen grab. Some of the settings may be the defaults. I don't remember which

I am alright with copyright existing if the terms were actually limited in duration. The current term is vastly too long. The "consideration" portion of the social contract is currently stilted too far in the favor of the creator of the work.

Since I disagree with the system, as it is, I don't feel like I exploit any of its "protections" w/o being a hypocrite. Even if the terms were made more reasonable (by decreasing the duration) I still don't think I'd avail myself, but I'd be alright if others did.
"is just gross" sounds like a statement. "I really don't like" "I cannot drink", " it makes me gag" sounds like an opinion or preference.
In Germany dedicated bike lanes have a solid line, so you're not allowed to cross into them for turning. Radschutzstreifen (translation n/a, like a bike lane, but it has a dashed line and is usually put on roads as an afterthought, so it's usually too narrow for larger vehicles to pass each other without using the Radschutzstreifen; it's a great contortion, really) on the other hand have a dashed line and generally it's a good idea to just use them for turning, properly switching "into" the lane, of course.

You're point is valid but some of the participants are spending 10K+ for Vectronix range finders so they are pretty far down that rabbit hole already. Wind is a dark art because at those ranges it likely varies in intensity and direction over the distance to the target. I guess you could say they are having to estimate the effect of multiple competing force vectors. I have read that some people consider the spotter the more skilled member of a two person shooting team, implying that the wind calls and environment are more difficult than the holdover and breaking the shot.

Though my range of operating systems isn't anything like as wide as yours, but still across a pretty broad range of systems, Windows, especially 10, comes out by far the worst.

My other pet hate on Windows that's been out of control since 7, and getting worse with each generation, is the insane hidden wastage under /Windows that simply constantly grows.

After it's a year old, between winsxs and the various installer and update folders you can easily burn 50-100GB of space under ./Windows for an OS that took say 3GB to install. You can clean up only some of it.

No other OS gets anywhere near this idiocy.

This is absolutely awesome. I've thought about doing this a couple of times, as a abstraction layer on top of different clouds, but this is really cool... It's also the first time that I think we have really seen AWS really contribute something to the K8s ecosystem they do lots of good work at the CNCF that is interesting and innovative. (EKS is not as capable as GKS or AKS, and even things like HPA only recently are enabled).

Was in germany today on the autobahn as a "Nur Links" driver. (ok, and maybe a bit of rechts, but I have to keep up the reputation, right?) ... It definitely pays to keep an eye on the left mirror and shoulder. Even at 200 km/h, it's almost guaranteed that there will be someone lurking there going MUCH faster than you.
The alternative is horrifying though. No regular user ever updates their stuff unless they're forced to, and in a world of increasingly horrifying botnets that can cripple the world economy on command, I can see why having the average user update automatically is necessary. Note that the average user (even myself, who is fairly good at keeping the latest version of everything installed) wouldn't have this problematic update with the (potential) data loss installed yet. You would have to have manually done it.

Does windows not give you the 250 warnings that it used to to postpone the restart? I turn off my computer every night, so I haven't even noticed that updates occur for ~1.5 years.
Second point: I don't have to convince anyone that ads are necessary to fund most of the visible web.

You’re selling an ICO based on that premise, I’d argue that yes you do very much need to convince at least some people of that. In addition I’d argue that you need to convince people (against the evidence of their own experience) that the majority of the “visible web” isn’t a dumpster fire that would be better off dead.
Seriously, this. I was recently faced with the difficult situation of having to consider surgery for one of my cats.

Unfortunately she ultimately passed away. But actually the one thing that gave me real confidence was that everyone I spoke to said that the surgeons there enjoy doing surgery.

Telling me this actually gave me more confidence in them than any other information they could have provided (including survival rates). Surgery is hard, complex, and ethically challenging (IMO). Knowing that a surgeon enjoys what they do just means to me that they are more likely to pay attention to detail (in all forms, including whether or not to do the surgery) and the complexity involved.

To be honest, I would feel significantly less certain about having a surgery done if the surgeon wouldn't tell me they enjoy it or found it _at least_ interesting.

os.fsencode() was changed in Python 3 longer after the 3.0 fork and isn't inherent to 3 -- the same change could be made to Python 2. It only wasn't because Python.org has been intentionally neglecting Python 2 since 2015.

(The Python 2 equivalent of os.fsencode() is just encoding with sys.getfilesystemencoding(). The primary difference is that fsencode() uses the surrogateescape error handler by default. Since this is a relaxed behavior, it seems like it could be added to Python 2 without regressing existing programs.)
