I can get used to something and still dislike it.. with Go it's mostly the bracket style, or put differently, the inability to turn off automatic addition of semicolons before parsing. I'd actually rather "have to" put semicolons manually, but no, I have to suffer so others don't have to put an additional line into their style guide.

That's not for in-VPC functions, although if the underlying instance changes with firecracker migration users might see ENI start improvements. Currently your ENI usage is roughly floor(3GB/Memory Allocation)*(Concurrent Executions). If the 3GB changes users will see huge gains as each ENI creation can take around 9s.
Zvols on zfs exhibit poor disk utilisation unless your block size, stripe size and file size line up just right. They work, but I've found major space savings sticking with zfs directly, if possible.

Does this also means you can use a custom domain now to invoke a lambda function? Maybe this was possible before using API gateway, I may be confusing with Google Cloud Functions.
> I think we need stronger education in middle school and high school as to what kids cost, and what they deserve in terms of a stable home and parenting, education, etc. And to not have kids until you are in a position to provide those things.

That's mostly value indoctrination (both the what they deserve part and the “do not do X if you cannot do Y” part fairly directly,and also the “what they cost” if it focuses on what a preferred approach costs rather than the costs of a spectrum of choices), not education.

It's also an economic choice, which is why birthrate declines with strength of social safety nets.

(Which is also why strengthening the social safety net is probably a better approach than trying to shame people into not reproducing.)

Bear in mind that this comes with its own set of consequences. Many cases of ADHD respond very well to treatment.

Mobile, probably a lot of data-analysis jobs provided you get to present results. Desktop work if you can get it. Non-traditional UI like voice. You can spend (what will seem like) a silly amount of time selling what you've done in backend work, even, it's just a harder path.
I think it's less a problem with feminism and more a problem with the corporate misappropriation of feminist attitudes - so, rather than worrying about actually supporting women (paid time off/maternity leave/onsite daycare, etc), society sells women the idea that they can "have it all" - a family while also being treated like men in the workplace (which, it turns out, means being disposable pawns for the capitalist machine). The "Lean In" phenomenon and the mandating of % of women on corporate boards are good examples of this.
>NYC landlords need to stop waiting for the big pay day and start dropping prices.

High vacancy symptoms can be caused by suppliers seeking higher surplus than the market will offer, it can also be caused by artificial price floors caused by free-market perversions. E.g. factor in all state-mandated costs contributing to a price floor: no one is going to rent a property for less than its property taxes etc.
Young web developers certainly seem to love video courses for some reason. Maybe I'm just old and crotchety, (well, one of those is certainly true), but I would much rather get my fix textually and go along at my own pace. Flipping pages or scrolling is still superior to trying to scrub through a video timeline.
It's yet another piece of evidence that ADHD is a developmental disorder, it develops over time, and those who are younger have brains which are underdeveloped. Their ability to tamp down disruptive behaviors and use executive functioning to effectively manage planning is reduced compared to other children. So, in younger children, those who are borderline ADHD will appear to be more solidly ADHD, and those with moderate or severe ADHD will seem to have worse symptoms, as we're putting them in a classroom and comparing them with children whose brains have a higher EF capacity. It's also worthwhile to note that the gold standard diagnosis of ADHD involves observation of childrens' behavior in the classroom, where they will be compared to older, more neuro-developed classmates.
We do not have a vacancy tax, no. There is lots of discussion locally about adding one in some form, for both residential and commercial properties.
I'd like this because it'd make certain classes of programming problems simpler.

In Dublin, there have consistently been more complete units for short term let in any moment on AirBnB than there are units available to rent.

I am sorry, I don't understand your comment.
I see. Well, the problem with analogies is that they don't always fit. Another analogy is that Google is a magazine store, and present front pages to customers on the shelves. The store probably doesn't pay random magazines for showing up so much as they are a middleman in the sale between magazine and customer.
(disclaimer: I've never owned a store, but while yes the store may take risks on unsold inventory, unless their deal with the magazine is "we send back unsold inventory")

Both Google and such a magazine store are middlemen do work to add value and take compensation for it.

In neither case is there any theft going on, nor is anyone getting a free ride.

I guess I also question the very premise of "free under condition X" is "free". Condition X is simply the payment. So you are getting Y for the price of X.

If you demand that Google charge for content then I do question how the very business model of search engine could work. Pretty much by definition if Google (or anyone else) has to pay to direct traffic to you then they are disincentivised to direct traffic to you. It's as if a store lost money on every sale, but made money if customers were present in the store.

If you think people are cynical now about Google wishing people clicking on promoted content (ads) then watch them race to the bottom where they (and Bing and everyone else) will only show promoted content.

Because here's really where your analogy breaks down: E.g. clicks on organic search results on Google brings money to the newspaper (via ads), but a news paper article author does not get paid per person reading their article. In other words: It may superficially be similar in actors and content creation, but all that matters in economics is incentives, and the incentives are completely different. And nobody will pay for a disincentive.
I recently moved from a job where it was a half hour car drive home to one that is a 15 minute public transit commute - counting from the "I'm leaving the office now" text to my wife to unlocking the front door. It's been a huge quality of life improvement for me.
I've been reading this proposal

> #19113 Permit signed integers as shift counts: An estimated 38% of all non-constant shifts require an (artificial) uint conversion (see the issue for a more detailed break-down). This proposal will clean up a lot of code, get shift expressions better in sync with index expressions and the built-in functions cap and len. It will mostly have a positive impact on code. The implementation is well understood.

The proposal as far as I can make out says allow signed integers for shifts but panic if they are negative.

This seems like a step backwards to me pushing checking which the compiler made you do to runtime.

Personally I'd expect a negative shift to shift the other way, but that doesn't seem to be a popular option with the team.

The ubiquitous float Double has 15 places of accuracy that is secure for summing integers up to that size.

I think the core frustration is how values less than one are subject to about 1 million-billionth part of noise, which could be tolerated except that factors like inflation are recorded as fixed decimals.

For example, if monthly inflation is standardized as 5 significant digits, then for 0.0012345 - the rounding to 5 sd actually introduced about one hundred-thousandth part of noise to whatever the real value was, but the number is then considered precise. Subsequent encoding of 0.0012345 to a float Double is ten billion times less imprecise than the writing of 0.00123447... to 5 sd was, but it is an unwanted inconsistency that is difficult to securely keep out of the fixed point results, even though they are kept to much lower precision.
No need of religion, just the new way of doing things. I feel you are talking of a loss of community. Of human beings being of benefit to each other that can be separate from religion. I do see that the church provides a community for many who can participate in that, even though I am a life-long atheist. But broadly, I agree with you.

For my parents and their siblings that meant the furthest apart they were until mid life, ignoring war service, was around 50 or so miles. Not by choice, but there were jobs, opportunities and housing locally. Not in each other's pockets like in a small village, but near enough to meet up regularly, visit when passing, take me over to my uncle or gran if they needed to go somewhere. There was some overlap between friends. There was always someone pretty locally.

For me and my siblings, friends and cousins, we are a far flung bunch, and it is the same for most of my friends. I have a relative 300 miles one way, one on another continent, another 200 miles the other way who I've almost completely lost touch with. Some friends have even more far flung friends and family. For the most part that seems to have come at a high cost. Not just when someone is taken ill, or at Christmas, but in day to day life, in our ways of parenting, in our closeness (or more accurately our lack of closeness) in day to day life. The lonely mum stuck miles away from relatives, the dad trying to keep it together alone. Maybe it even explains some of the addiction to social media.

Maybe I read far too much into it, having reached an age where mortality is far more apparent, and people I thought as young have died. My parents and their peers seemed to have had a level of contentment with their lot, even though many were in WW2 - sometimes at great cost, that me and my peers have utterly lost.

I have no answers. I wish I did.

> no one is going to rent a property for less than its property taxes.

If you own it already, not renting it doesn't save you from paying property taxes and renting it even at a lower rate reduced your losses from ownership. The only reason you shouldn't want to do it, then, is that you think that the low rental price will depress future rental prices or create friction that will make you miss an opportunity for a higher-paying tenant, and that expected costs outweighs the present rent—but that's just as possible with rent above the property taxes; the property taxes aren't a special cutoff.
Yeah I know companies in "Silicon Alley" that have moved to Brooklyn (not Dumbo) because the rent is out of control. Old buildings in 23rd Street go years with minimum repairs and rent hikes just cause the landlord can sit it out. Property Managers are freaking out because they only earn on rent collection.
We use them a ton for long running jobs that require polling before moving to the next job. Mainly use them to run Glue/Batch jobs via lambda, after this week no longer need lambda to start a Glue Job, they can be called directly.
Microsoft and Xbox seem to have a distanced relationship. For example, Microsoft could figure out a way to allow XBox AAA games to run on all Windows 10 machines, while creating an edge over Sony's PS4, but Microsofot has only allowed XBox indie games that are already available on Steam. An XBox-branded phone would have this expectation.
Yes! you can do this with ALB, or also with Lambda@Edge. You can also use ACM with both to create and renew a certificate for your custom domain.
Rust has a `usize` which is 32 or 64 bits depending on the platform and also serves as the native index type for arrays and such.

Absolutely right. When less desirable suburbs crash 40-50%, NYC might go down 10-15%. During the worst of the financial crisis, in the west coast, places like Concord lost a lot more value than Cupertino or Palo Alto. Also, in NYC, I suspect the 2nd and 3rd home buyers won't miss their money too much. If you purchased it hoping to rent it out and live on that income, that is a different story however.
Read a bit about "SMV" and "MMV" and believe me you can change that tinder filter to 20-25 and get even better results.
Lambda Layers fixes so many problems!

* We had to hack around Lambda zip size limits. Now we can deploy fat dependencies to Layers and ditch the hacks.

* We can drastically speed up build and packaging time locally by keeping fat dependencies in Layers.

* We use a shared in-house library to wrap all code that lives in a Lambda. Updating the version of this required us to deploy every single Lambda that used it. Now it can live in one place.

* We can eliminate repeated deployment pain for Python code with C dependencies by deploying the manylinux wheel to Layers. Now devs can go back to just packaging up pure Python and not worry about cross-platform problems.

And probably loads more I'm not thinking of.
I agree. I'm not completely dismissive of the diagnosis. Just highly skeptical of its application. The sad state of modern medicine is that these diagnoses come not from extensive detailed study of every individual by a specialist, but from a few brief Q&A sessions where behavior is compared to a checklist. It's certainly not hard science at the individual level.
Twitter (the company) always comes across as constantly bailing out their leaky ship, and then running around plugging holes with bits of scrap that 'might' just fit. There never seems to be any sort of proper roadmap that you'd expect for a tech company with such a large user-base.
This. My older kids have birthdays later in the academic year but have ended up in groups for more advanced students.

Mind, nursery was a complete wash when it came to academics -- learning to count to 3 when you can already count to 20 is rather futile. Public schools just can't tailor to individual students.

Socially though, nursery was well timed for them IMO.

That's way better odds than most people's gut feel. Everyone thinks they don't need to run experiments because THEY already know what works.

Not sure what you mean here. How does an implicit context change any semantics? You would still be able to override which context is given to goroutines you spawn. As a developer, you'd have to be aware of the implicitness, that's the only difference.
The nice thing about DocBook is that, because of how strictly structured it is, there are visual editors for it that provide experience far superior to anything that can be had with Markdown etc, especially for large quantities of documentation.

I agree that the message is beautiful. I do have reservations however about gurus, in that the ones I'm aware of tend to live in isolated places where they are worshiped. I feel like it's easy to love and support others when you have peace, quiet, love and support in abundance around you. I'd like to see how these individuals operate in higher stress situations and if they've really perfected the art of love or if it's more a product of their circumstances.
That's quite a feat. According to the Rust developer survey, it takes many people a month or more to feel productive in Rust^1 at all much less as productive as with Go. I've been picking up Rust occassionally for 4-5 years now and I'm still not particularly productive and far less productive than I am in Go (and I come from a C++ background, so it's not like I'm a stranger to thinking about memory management and things). I suspect that you're an outlier (I may be also, but my point doesn't hinge on that).

It is so true. A woman thinking about her declining fertility for the first time in the age of 35? This only happens in modern western countries, where feminism has convinced women: "do not marry early", "explore your feelings", "meet new people", "have a career", "children and family oppress you" and so on. Of course, such things were unheard of some decades ago, and still are in many parts of the world, where women start a family routinely at 20 and it is not unheard of that some women are already grandmothers at the age of 35.

I am sorry, but of course there is no hope of a normal family for a woman of this age. Her fate has already been sealed by feminism. Life is tough. The question is, what happens with the next generation.
Is there any reason to expect fundamental inefficiencies with this approach vs a vertically integrated approach like a conventional document store? Any other downsides?

Of course, I understand that achieving happiness can be challenging, and that seeking meaning can be a meaningful step on that path.

But it is possible to have happiness without meaning, and that seems more valuable than meaning without happiness, or happiness that relies on a sense of meaning.

Any additional communication skill would be handy to know about should it become necessary to use alternate communication methods in times of emergencies when normal communications are disrupted. Since the Internet controls practically everything we do, and enemy would want to disable our Internet access to cripple our communications. We would then need alternate ways to communicate voice, text and data. So a practical use would be to practice and gain experience ahead of time, and then hope you never have to use this as a last resort
