Yeah there was actually a blog on this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/aws-mobile-gets-amplifie...

"What’s happening with AWS Mobile Hub?

In the three years since we introduced AWS Mobile Hub, we’ve spoken to many developers. We listened to the feedback about what was difficult or confusing about developing mobile and web applications within the AWS ecosystem, and distilled that down to two problems:

Provisioning and maintenance of the mobile backend. Solved by using the Amplify CLI.
Secure hosting and continuous deployment of web applications. Solved by using AWS Amplify Console.
We took the great things that AWS Mobile Hub offered and added them to the Amplify CLI and the AWS Amplify Console. All of AWS Mobile Hub’s functionality and much more, are now part of AWS Amplify. Over the coming months, we will be encouraging all our developers to move their apps from AWS Mobile Hub to AWS Amplify."
Definitely will be interesting. I'd say this -- for sure, $1.44 per day is better than $90/month, but is it that much better? (Also, $90 is on the high end -- Scalyr charges more like $50/month for 1GB/day disclosure: I'm a co-founder, though no longer there).

For $50-$100/month, you get basically unlimited querying, unlimited dashboards, etc., vs. $43.20 from Amazon for a single dashboard that refreshes every 5 minutes in your example.

Looking at the actual numbers now, there's no way this is targeting the same types of users at this pricing level. It's gotta be aimed more at folks looking at meta-logs for AWS services, the volume of which is going to be much less than actual application logs. Otherwise I can't see this being competitive.

You are correct that the law states 15 days minimum with a cap somewhere like 25. But it's wildly violated and many South Koreans never get to exercise all of the days, or are artificially limited as to how large the blocks of time might be.

No because we (Americans in Silicon Valley) know what is best for the Chinese people better than the Chinese people themselves.

Ask HN: I think I am being black listed
I was fired from my previous job at a corp and now after spending months searching I am unable to find a new one. I believe the reason is that I am being black listed. Has anyone gone through a similar situation? or do you know someone who has been recruiting and got told from a superior or a colleague not to hire certain person ?
Ok, how about they are forced to if it was signup within the App Does that sit well with you now?
No worries, I understand where you are coming from (really). More than once I have found myself in the position where my day job took too much out of me to do anything else (even before I had a kid). It really comes down to finding a job where working 40 hours per week is acceptable, and you will not be guilt-tripped into working more hours, and ideally reducing your commute if you have one.

If this was true then the BLAS Fortran library would run faster when calling with Fortran as opposed to C, but it doesn't. As someone else pointed out, multi-dimensional arrays are contiguous in C, by definition. It's not like Fortran has some magical powers to unlock instructions only available to that language.
Limiting their size would cut down on the clickjacking annotations, but wouldn't deal with the hated "buy our merch!" annotations that were damaging to the video content and led to people turning annotations off. I think simply removing all links would be clear and effective, without damaging the error-correction use.

The third common use that I've seen is linking to other videos, and that's the one that YouTube's replacements systems tackle.

Another somewhat noteworthy thing is that the annotation system is tied to YouTube's channel logo overlay. Once the annotations go, it's likely that the logo will not be hideable anymore.

At the end of P1, Chinese kids are supposed to read something like 800 Chinese words, write 60% of them (if my memory serves me well), in France/Switzerland, most kids can barely read at that age. And poor them if you even think to enforce that. We are destroying generations if the parents don't realize how fucked up is our system: education is a building process, with layers and layers of foundation.
I am guilty of writing my own Scheme (R5RS) interpreter as well, and a key takeaway from the experience was that many things calling themselves Scheme interpreters are missing core parts of Scheme.

Implementing a language that resembles Scheme is quite easy. Implementing call-with-current-continuation and hygienic macros AND getting the tricky little details correct is not.[0] An analogy might be someone offering "ability to write SQL" for their fly-by-night database without stating up front that joins are not supported.

Yes, you are misunderstanding it: the house prices are 8.4 higher than in Sep 2017, BUT, they are lower than in, say, Jun 2018. So it is not just "rate of increase has decreased", the absolute values are lower than a few months ago.

I'm with the team that built this. It's actually a new purpose-built engine, optimized for near real-time availability of large scale volumes of log data. It supports an unbounded number of fields across log records, and doesn't require the definition of a schema or dealing with data types at setup/ingestion time. Compute and storage are separate, which is what allows queries to address data from any time window. There is no limit on the data retention period.
Interviews are valuable. Being able to communicate effectively about your work, especially to a stranger, is competence. Going off of pure resume and cover letter fluff, lots of candidates can clearly do the job, but only in the interview do you see if a candidate can confidently leverage their experiences to solve new problems.

If you want an interview to favor a higher level of competence, do away with the hiring managers. Have candidates interviewed by their equally titled peers, or members of the group the candidate would be working most closely with. People who not only have a technical background, but an understanding of how the specific job actually works day to day.

Ask HN: How do I start making music?
Like anyone else, music has always been an important part of my life. Occasionally I’ll even come up with a tune or beat in my head and think, “Wow, that actually sounds cool.”

But I have zero knowledge of how to transfer this idea into real music. I’m mostly interested in electronic, ambient, and related genres (and not playing the oboe.)

Tips? Thoughts? Where to start? What was your experience?

Just to provide some historical context, our space program that ultimately put a man on the moon was largely driven by Nazi science. In particular, Wernher von Braun was a key figure in the design and development of the Nazi's V-2 ICBM, receiving accolades and rewards directly from Hitler himself for his successes. After WW2 he, along with hundreds of other Nazi scientists and engineers, were secretly recruited (see: operation paperclip [1]) to the US where he worked on ballistic missiles before eventually moving onto NASA where he served as the chief architect of the Saturn V that brought us to the moon.

Braun was primarily interested in space travel, but it does lead to a good satirical quote, "I aim at the stars, but sometimes I hit London."

I believe many people in this forum fall under the: got plenty of money, spending plenty of money, started medidating to improve life and work performance, found value in decluttering.

I don't know how wide-spread this phenomenon is in Korea, or the integrity of the journalist/article, but even if 200 people do it in a year, it looks like they are trying to simplify their life.

Edit: thinking about this a bit better, this is more like Ascetisism [2] (fromt the Greek Ασκητισμός), than Minimalism, but it is to the same direction.

MRIs are typically (from my perspective working in the health insurance industry) profit centers for those who own them.

Which leads to perverse incentives, like MRI manufacturers assisting physicians with setting up imaging consortiums, promising recoupment and profits within 18 months. Perhaps unsurprisingly, such doctors order imaging notably more often than others.

Low field MRI machines are around $1M. $3M gets you a brand new, state of the art 3 tesla machine.

Why not? I staunchly believe that race and gender are not indicators of value, capability, or personality...but my subconscious acts on biases it has learned over decades from everyone around me, and it will take more than rational thought to alter who I find threatening, "slow", smug, timid or other decisions based on ephemeral qualities. These biases are difficult to identify in the moment when you are the one doing them rarely, but far more noticeable if they are directed towards you by many.

That doesnt mean the author is correct, but I certainly find the issue plausible.

Pardon if it sounds like a naive question. But when you are in a monastery-- which sounds like a controlled environment-- I get a feeling that you are not interacting with all those grieves like rejections, loss of loved ones and other mental conflicts, struggles one goes through in this materialistic life.

Albeit they include artificial such scenarios by having a very rigid environment which is stressful and one has to learn to adapt to it.

So, practicing being calm there, I am not sure how that will translate to "the real world". Would really like to know about stories of people who practiced such things in their childhood or for a long period and how they are faring post that.
With a fixed width font in a single size surely caching glyphs goes a long way? Most of the characters probably come from a small set of characters, and obviously a cache can support full unicode. I guess you couldn't do subpixel hinting but an alpha blended character can be tinted any colour for FG/BG.
The most surprising thing was "Rust should do more marketing, not many people know about it".

I would have thought literally every programmer on earth would have heard of rust. Whether they have looked into it or use it would be a different question. But unless those programmers don't keep up with their tools, I find it hard to believe they don't know about Rust.
I am not a lawyer, take with a grain of salt.

You can discriminate all you want, even as an employer. You just can't do so against protected classes.

They are not discriminating against a protected class, they are discriminating against a non-protected class. Now, if they refused a candidate because of their sexual orientation or other protected class, then they would be violating the law
You can build a house out of random pieces of scrap wood, but it probably won't hold up well over time, or during a hurricane, etc.

Docker is more like standard measurements and lumber, allowing one group to build the rooms, and another group to build the plumbing, roof, etc and shove it all together.

It can take you longer to go the latter route, at least until you're all very practiced at this new method. But once you get the hang of it, changing the house becomes cheaper, easier, faster and more reliable.

From a developer's standpoint, Docker can help speed development by keeping all developers on the same page. If everyone develops and tests using one container, there's less chance for certain kinds of bugs when integrating. You can do the same with, say, Linux packages, but Docker alleviates the need to learn different distros' packaging formats, and solves common dependency and isolation problems.

Less time trying to fix your builds due to incompatibility, almost no need to use configuration management tools. This saves you time and complexity, at the cost of the complexity of Docker itself.

> Disable the autopilot / M.C.A.S. via switch.

The version of the article that I read says:

"The pilot of Flight 610 appears to have [pressed that switch] repeatedly to bring the nose up, but the MCAS reactivated each time, as it was designed to do, forcing the nose back down, and the pilot had to repeat the process again and again."

This is getting quite wierd. The captain had 6000 hours of experience, the pilots knew what the problem was, they had ten minutes to solve it, and they had started to do the right things. All good so far. Then, something went wrong. But what?

> You still have to render glyphs individually, almost always on CPU.

How do you figure? As I imagine it you would stream the buffer to the GPU and render it with a pixel shader. Even if layout or glyph calculation is done on the CPU it should be highly cacheable.
Golden Goal can have the problem of teams playing too defensively. My favorite option for these sorts of things is drop offs, every x minutes a player from either side comes off.
