Facebook is mostly info that is scoped to a defined set of people. It makes implicit sense to have your access to private information removed if you no longer qualify eg no longer a friend.

Twitter is publishing data that is world visible and making it hard for individuals who have been snubbed to keep track of what everyone including them if they log out can in fact see by removing their bookmark to same.

The behavior of toggling block is weirder yet because the data is world published, you can read it, you can follow it but someone else has reached out and toggled the state of your account in some weird spooky action at a distance fashion that works only because it confuses people.

Well designed things work in a way that is predictable to users. Who would predict that your follow status on accounts would from the perspective of the user toggle itself randomly.

It's even worse that twitter sees purpose built for short toxic exchanges too short and badly organized for anyone to get each others point where the standard protocol is to disengage from anyone who disagrees and shout at all the people who believe exactly as you do.
You need a flagship Chromebook for proper Crostini support.

How does this explain Athenian democracy or the Roman Republic? (Or, for that matter, Sparta’s elected ephors?)

Totalitarianism is the novelty. It has never, before recent decades, been feasible for a state to completely monitor all its citizens.
My suggestion would be to get a cheap one if you're on the fence. Make sure it supports all the features you want. If it doesn't work out it can be an excellent daily device for any non-dev relatives.

It was Esbern not coming out of his room in the Ratway Sewers when he was supposed to. I'm really fuzzy on the details now, but from what I remember there are multiple bugs related to him. Some have been patched, either officially or community, but the one I hit hadn't been.
It must've been, "99,999,999,726 C, the temperature inside a newly formed neutron star"! It's even more preposterous than I remembered. It's not even rounded correctly!

>Aurora is an open source database. They just it picked up and made it closed source on Amazon.

This isn't remotely true at all. As far as I'm aware most of the work inside of aurora is in the storage side which is a complete rewrite with a new architecture as per here [1].

>Who develops Aurora? That would be Oracle. It’s called MySQL.

Honestly, the size doesn't matter.

I was once in the camp of small Docker images, but realized it's simply not worth the tradeoff, since there's only one upside to them, and that upside is fast transfer of images.

However, that argument becomes pointless when using a proper CI/CD stack. As a developer, you don't normally upload images yourself, but push changes to GitHub, then Jenkins/Travis/whatever takes over, builds the image, and pushes it into production/staging/whatever. Since CD tool of choice is usually also on the cloud, we don't have to worry about image size, nor to any of the CD vendors charge for data transfer.

I'd rather have bigger images (I base mine off Debian now, used to be Alpine) and not have to worry with lack of ported tools and libraries, than vice-versa.
Didn't watch the video, but partially this is interesting due to cheap hardware. There are a wide variety of Chromebooks available.

Also, in a way, running Linux as a "second class citizen" seems like an interesting way to do it since you could experiment more while knowing you'll always have a browser available.

Maybe ask the opposite question: what's the advantage of running Linux outside a container, versus inside?
There is archival optical disc, which is reader-compatible with BluRay and stores up to 1TB. Written by a 220-405nm laser like original BD-R.

Last time I checked on Vulkan, you took a lot of GPU memory allocation into your own hands. You allocate large chunks that you then write your own allocator for to carve up (sort of like the distinction between sbrk/mmap and malloc).

Is that still the case, and would that unintentionally avoid this side channel since the global GPU perf stats wouldn't necessarily see a difference on small allocations?
Measuring "dollars per homeless person" is, IMO, worse than useless. The problem is that the better you do the job, the worse the number looks. If you manage to house all but 1 person, suddenly it rockets into millions of dollars per remaining homeless person!

Been using edge releases on my Pixelbook i7 for a few months. Much of this is pretty baked. I wish USB support was here so I could use my Yubikey 5c to do SSH, but otherwise it's fine.

From my experience Docker works fine. VS Code works well. You can install your own Terminal if you want.

Note for the demo in the video they ran Chromium inside the VM so localhost would work. Otherwise you need to use the penguin.linux.test domain which was pretty hard to find out about when they made that change. Another thing is you really should default to binding to 0.0.0.0:$PORT because that makes your life easier as well.

For those not enjoying MBPs and their keyboards the Pixelbook's keyboard is pretty good.

If I had to make a recommendation I'd say that getting a lower -end pixelbook would be a great buy. Not sure my i7 or extra SSD space has really been worth it.
Ask HN: How do you build high-performance reporting front ends in AWS?
Hi guys

I work as a Data Engineer for a very large company. We are currently in the process of migrating our classical data warehouse backend (oracle and Informatica Power Center) to a datalake on AWS. We would like to replace our old SAP and Qlik reporting frontends with something modern as well which should ideally run in AWS too. What tools / framework do you use to create high perfomance data anlysis and reporting front ends?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Yes I have been to China, as I was born and raised in China. I've been to small villages, towns and large cities.
I would say that very few places are actually not using toilets like the some places in north-western/south-western part of China. However, the majority of the Chinese people live in other parts along the coast and major water bodies.

I remember when I was very little, so at least 20 years ago, there were no toilets in the village I was born in. It has not remained that case since then. I would say your information is pretty stale.
Charities? Some waste too much money on administration, but I think the smaller ones are pretty good.
The vast majority of Firefox users receive updates from Mozilla via the auto-update mechanism, which would also be vulnerable to the compromise in a similar way.

Ask HN: Advice/Feedback on Hour of Code for Small Groups Grades 1-4?
I’ll be volunteering for an hour-of-code activity for small groups (about 7-10) of gifted kids in grades 1 to 4. The kids will be grouped by age, and each group will have 2 hours. I am planning to propose these activities to the gifted teacher and get her feedback.

I am seeking feedback from anyone with experience working with kids this age (teachers, people who have done hour of code).

I have linked a PDF of my current proposal here:

I'd also be interested in feedback from anyone who has done a very successful hour of code for kids this age.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! We’ve been working closely with cities for the last two years to build a uniform hub for their data, and we’re excited to finally unveil the developer side to the world. We’re aiming to provide the world’s civic data in one place, in real-time, and with a simple uniform API. Instead of wrangling a grab bag of flat files for each place you want to build for, you can use a single endpoint to get consistent/quality data at any geographic scale, and work with any city in the world. If you aren’t a developer, you can use this to explore what’s going on in the physical world around you. There’s still a lot of work to do, and you can find our roadmap here: https://municipal.systems/roadmap (Let us know if you want to see anything sooner!)

This is the whole point of a Linux distribution -- it takes the disparate parts and makes them into one coherent whole.
Containers are fairly lightweight abstractions on Linux, there is effectively no runtime cost. I use a Chromebook as my mobile work machine (I use full desktop Linux on my workstation at home) because it is disposable, low-risk, and easy to wipe. It takes about 20 seconds for me to destroy all the data on the machine and lend it to somebody with a great deal of confidence, and the Chrome OS part synchronizes on its own. I use Syncthing to sync my mobile desktop Linux configs and a handful of other things. So between those two I can set up any old random Chromebook to work as a workstation in a matter of minutes. If I have a good internet connection, chrome remote desktop makes a good interim solution if I can't wait for Crostini to install.

Generally I do most of my productive work in desktop Linux, but Chromebooks are also good consumer machines. The mid to low tier ones are totally usable, have great battery life, and can be bought easily in any developed country except China.

The Chromium team has a great track record for security, and having (in a very small way) worked with their security folks, I can tell you that they take the business and community of improving and maintaining Chrome's security very seriously. If you are using an unmodified Chromebook with the most recent stable release of Chrome OS, and not in dev mode, then you can be reasonably sure that it's going to reliably carry out its promise of security.
This is exactly what I've envisioned, with BASIC, for teaching programming.
You can use Secure Shell for SSH with your Yubikey in the meantime: https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/HEAD/nassh/...
Very much agreed. Like all things balance is needed. Often it's worth thinking about performance during initial design. There's the idea that fixing bugs earlier in development is cheaper. This also applies to performance issues. That's not to say you spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on just that, but it needs to be given its due.
If that's what you're waiting for I'd say it's ready. Although you have to run Docker inside the host and I don't think you can run privileged containers (don't have in front of me to test).

Many state parks in California has a special area for cyclists and hikers at a special rate ($5 - $10) and no reservation is needed. 1 night only in each park.

AFAIK, primitive camping for a night or two in a National Forest is free. Just be far enough away from roads and water sources. And many national parks have national forests near them.

I did camp on private property a few times without permission and only got discovered once: It was at a church and the pastor gave me free breakfast.
I'm not sure how did you reach this conclusion. My position is: locality needs to be in charge of these decisions. From my perspective, the easiest way to that is to treat local officials as a proxy to local residents.

Now, you can argue that "some decisions" must be subject to a popular vote of local residents, but this is not the argument that I was engaging with - it's more of an implementation detail of "locality needs to be in charge of these decisions" principle.
Only the Google Chromebooks are priced high, and still isn't even close to the Macbook.

There are many offerings from other company for just a few hundred dollars that run Chrome OS.
My suggestion right now(from a Mac user), is a Windows 10 machine with the Linux subsystem installed. You'll have an entire Linux environment integrated into Windows, giving you the best of both worlds. Supported software, hardware, and your natural development environment.

Repeat after me the lesson from the founders of information security: every system, from individual components to their integration, is insecure until proven trustworthy by sufficient analysis. You have to also have a precise statement of what secure means to compare the system against. You then apply methods proven to work for various classes of problems. By 1992, they had found everything from kernel compromises to cache-based, timing channels using such methods. On this topic, every hardware and software component in every centralized or decentralized system has covert channels leaking your secrets. Now, if you're concerned or want to be famous, there's something you can do:

Shared Resource Matrix for Storage Channels (1983)
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~sherwood/cs290/papers/covert-kemmere...

Wray's Extention for Timing Channels (1991)
https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/3166/161c3cbb5f8cd150d133a3...

Using such methods were mandatory under the first, security regulations called TCSEC. They found a lot of leaks. High-assurance, security researchers stay improving on this with some trying to build automated tools to find leaks in software and hardware. Buzzwords include "covert channels," "side channels," "non-interference proof or analysis," "information flow analysis (or control)," and "information leaks." There's even programming languages designed to prevent accidental leaks in the app or do constant-time implementations for stuff like crypto. Go forth and apply covert-channel analysis and mitigation on all the FOSS things! :)

A patch has been merged to fix an issue that was preventing docker from working.

I have tried Blue Apron and switched over to Green Box and I really like both of them.

I am a really decent cook, but I mostly cook for 2 people so the value of these services to me is the convenience of just-what-you-need serving-size bits of rarer oddities like a small hunk of a special cheese, 3 shoots of green onions, a small bunch of fresh rosemary, exactly the right amount of this sauce or that seasoning, etc. Often unless my partner and I are doubling-down on a specific ingredient for a week or more, a lot of random things end up spoiling before we can use them up.

I think in the end since we're paying more for the ingredients, and generating more waste/recycling, it ends up being a wash on total consumption.
That is worse than other alternatives - PCs and Mac machines.
I'm currently doing it.

Crostini, the linux VM layer, is very much still a work in progress. If you are doing your development in hosted VMs, then this isn't so much an issue. There are some minor nits around key mapping issues, but I'm looking to evaluate Android-based terminal apps to get around those (since they are mostly related to Chrome taking priority for certain key combinations when using an embedded shell).

I love certain things about the keyboard, but absolutely miss little things from MacOS, like their support for easily entering accented characters by holding down a letter for a moment and then selecting the desired accent.

Being able to powerwash your laptop, and then login to see everything basically the way you left it, is pretty powerful. As someone who has to also support the IT needs of a small team, the potential peace of mind this offers is huge.

But it's not 100% just yet, so I haven't rolled it out to the rest of the team.

One important issue is that if the patch program goes wrong, you can easily end up with customers having broken installations that you can't fix. The patching software is how you distribute updates, so it has to work. So there's strong incentive to deploy simple techniques with fewer failure modes as opposed to optimizing away every last byte of network traffic.

Firefox has historically shied away from complicated patch algorithms for this reason among others. (To be fair, of course, we're also dealing with several orders of magnitude less data than AAA games are...)
