We've been packaging pandas in a lambda which is used to perform some calculations, but being a 50 MB zip file makes cold starts of about 6-8 secs. We're lucky that the service has little use, thus our way to workaround it is by having a lambda warmer which is run every 5 minutes and invokes N pandas lambdas. I'd be very interested in knowing if Layers has some feature to avoid this kind of issue.

How to Raise a Hacker – TED Talk – Kalimah Priforce
TFA is the most extreme example I've seen recently of the sort of piece that inspires absolutely no comments on HN whatsoever, while its title inspires lively discussion of largely unrelated topics.

This is deeply personal work, by a person whose life experience largely does not intersect with those of HN commentators. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised.
Can you point to some specific "boilerplate" examples you're having trouble with, and possibly also docs pages showing those items?
Yup, it would be ideal if housing prices in all the expensive cities stayed flat for a decade or two to allow wages to catch up.
> Try disobeying any law, and then resisting any agent of state that comes to apprehend you, and you'll see just how right Mao was.

I don't think tried to understand the distinction between power and violence that Arendt makes.

How does potentially getting arrested for breaking a law prove that political power comes from violence?

> Yes, in practice, it's threat of violence rather than actual violence doing the trick most of the time. But the reason why that threat is respected is precisely because the violence behind it is very real, and we all know it.

It can just as well be a mutual and voluntary agreement. It's not like people who don't rape or murder usually all just refrain from that because it's illegal and would be met with violence, so I would argue the opposite is also true, we made certain things illegal so we can deal with it in a structured manner where the laws ideally apply equally to each. Just like children don't just obey or imitate adults out of fear, just like many open source projects are successful without any threats.

The "violence" in "monopoly on violence" isn't any more sinister than the "road safety regulation" in "monopoly on road safety regulation", at least insofar every affected individuum is part of the entity that has said monopoly.

> So you might end up with a "good guy with a gun", but it's still a guy with a gun.

Yes, and? You just keep stating that as if it means something. What is your point, in relation to my original point of government being ours in principle, and being changeable? It's not like that there is no gun if you don't have a "good guy with a gun", that gun is a given, so why even bring it up?
Yes. Rural theft is a problem. Now, explain how society advances if we give in to crime and we stop investing in rural communities
Me too, good to know ;)
yeah, obviously you shouldn't try to do what's being discussed. That goes without saying. Did you read the comment I was responding to? I feel like I'm talking to myself here.
All bathrooms in the house are communal, so it 'benefits' everyone. It takes the bathroom situation from overcapacity (6:1), to medium capacity (3:1).

However, everyone was getting along just fine, with the bathroom at capacity - (5:1) The new bathroom only became necessary when another person moved in.

> Better infrastructure, by contrast, benefits everyone.

For various reasons, nobody was in a hurry to install a new bathroom before the sixth housemate showed up, and made the bathroom situation untenable.

> If you never intend to use public transit no matter how robust it is, this won't apply. However, in this case, you should really consider the environmental impact of your actions.

This doesn't just apply to transit. This also applies to sewage, roadways, city services like police, schooling, etc. When any of these systems are at capacity, and need a large capital expense to expand, it is unfair for existing residents to shoulder 95% of that financial burden.

Adding more buses to a bus line is not a large capital expense. Adding more trains to an under-capacity train line is not a large capital expense. Building a new train line, because a neighbourhood with 5,000 residents, who were sufficiently served by surface streets, but now has 25,000 residents, who cannot be served by existing surface streets is.
I don't know what the reason is, but I would love to read a truly satisfactory explanation for this.

It's pretty obvious how this information can be used to track users across domains. The draft itself has some language in it that kinda sound like disclaimers such as:

"Transmitted Client Hints header fields SHOULD NOT provide new information that is otherwise not available to the application via other means, such as using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript."

However, this spec really neatly wraps all this information together in a package that will make it much more easy to abuse.
If we're going to do this, let's do it right: Where did these numbers come from, what are the sources? What is "Land area" defined as, and what does it include relating to uninhabitable/unusable space? What about zoning laws (in order to affect things like housing density)? Is average a mean or median wage? What are the rates of poverty in both regions? What the hell is an "elite of the world" defined as?

Start defining your perimeters and we might be able to get an answer to your first question.

I don't know much about foundationDB, but when they say API compatible, are they referring to the technical TCP/IP connection stack, or ALSO the concepts of collections and the query language of MongoDB (such as aggregations, find, limit, etc..)

In other words can I throw a giant aggregation query with all mongo's various crazy query language syntax and it will.. work the same?

> A 63yo is less able to take evasive action such as using foot to brake at speed and maintain balance before it's too late.

This wasn't a matter of reflexes. She blew through three intersections with no brakes before deciding to bail out. If she panicked and didn't think of foot-braking, or believed that it would just cause an immediate crash at that speed, that's a shame, but it has nothing to do with age. A 20-year-old could make the same mistake. You really don't need to double down on this.

> I had Gold status (30 nights) with lounge access, which was super-useful. Now that got shifted to Platinum (50 nights)

Marriott seems to be running into the same problem as American airline rewards: counting nights and miles, only, doesn't adequately differentiate between high-spend and low-spend nights and miles. So you have to set the nightly rate such that someone staying at your cheapest property can access perks at the most-expensive property. That, in turn, ends up making the perks less valuable for those who frequent your pricy properties. (This is Gresham's Law [1].)

The loyalty programs should have been kept separate, with the benefit of high-value programs getting credit at low-value ones (but not the other way, at least not at parity).

It is misogynist in its worldview; the woman's value is her attractiveness (which declines with age), and a man's attractiveness (which may be a function of money as well as just looks) is all she cares about.

Just because it is misogynist does not mean that women don't participate in it. But whenever you reduce human relationships to something "simple", you're likely doing something offensive.

The realities are a lot more mundane than your last paragraph tries to paint them. I was 29 when I finally got treatment (therapy + low dose of adderall). I had been making 100k for years. It's perfectly possible to have an okay life with ADHD.

But stuff falls through the cracks. You forget to brush your teeth. To pay your bills. There was a year when I was making over 150k and every single quarter, as often as was possible, my water got shut off to my house. I had to shower at the gym and call the company with my tail between my legs and pay over the phone and it was turned on 2 days later. I had the money. I had the desire to pay the water bill. I just... couldn't. It was stupid. I felt like a caveman, scared that a coworker in my open office would overhear this frantic call and wonder WTF was wrong in my life that I couldn't pay my water bill.

I turned down promotions onto the manager track because it felt ethically dubious to manage people when I couldn't even manage myself. Do you want a person who can't remember to pay their water bill to be pulling the strings of your career lader? I stayed on the IC Principal track to try and localize the logistical fallout of my inabilities.

It's a little better now. It's not the difference between homelessness and elon musk. It's the difference between a guy who pays his bills on time, has a clean dishwasher, and goes to the dentist, versus a guy who is constantly browbeaten by everyday life as the shit that most people think of as routine and invisible derails you over and over in tragicomic ways.

I'm not sure what statistic would capture that. On paper, barring a decrease in collections notices and faster email response time, I appear to be exactly the same person.

But my life is better now. There are still cracks in the sidewalk – my life is still pretty scattered, but you're not as likely to lose a leg when you trip on one.
Agree. I would love even a simple playground to try it in a limited fashion.

The hitch is that you can't work hard enough to stem the tide of suffering in the world. It's a hopeless situation because the world is broken and suffering and death are unavoidable. If the world is broken, then there is no path to salvation through works.

The message in religion, particularly in the message of Christianity, is that life is suffering because of ubiquitous sin - BUT - God came here bodily to teach us how to live, freeing us from the sin of broken laws, and died as a final blood sacrifice to wipe the sin slate clean.

Jesus is definitely the superman to model one's life after (be charitable, be loving, forgive, don't lead others to sin, speak truthfully, don't be a hypocrite, etc...) But, the main point the religion teaches is that salvation can only come through faith that Jesus is God and not by any good works you do.

You can get all rational and say that's all magic mumbo jumbo, but it's actually really good psychology. Belief in a higher power that saves leads to good people. It's beneficial to mental health when you can surrender the notion that anything you do will fix the world and that life isn't hopeless. And there is a power to prayer. We can definitely make things better here, and we are, but no works can eliminate all of the evil in the human heart.
Clarifying, I did "quit" my job, though likely I'd have been dismissed, or simply worked myself to death. This was after the settlement was signed, and I knew full well when I signed it that there would be no relief--that I'd have to continue full alimony payments regardless of what salary, if any, I could get in the future.

The judicial leeway comment was a separate issue, and was simply the consensus of several lawyers. I could have rolled the dice, but at best that would merely have decreased my ex's take, and her kids' financial situation, not improved mine. Every extra hour spent in a divorce does significant damage to your end net worth.

From a legal point of view, if you are or have recently made a lot of money, the ironclad assumption is that you will continue to do so, at least through the duration of alimony. There will be no mercy. On the flip side, at least in my case, the starting assumption is that the recipient will be able to earn zero, regardless or their skills or prior employment.

As for "fair", I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. Justice is just a fairy tale in my book.
How is that any different than the hippy, free love, counter culture of the 60's. People in every single generation have wanted to do that and many have. The only difference between your generation and all the ones of the past is you now have social media around to amplify and make you feel subliminally jealous of the ones who actually do it. You're a real live productive member of society, so why aren't all these people your age able to do it right /s?

I agree, she exploited her good fortune (including youth and beauty as a woman in a society that gives that enormous power), and along the way she didn't spend much effort helping others or figuring out how to so that's no satisfaction to her now. She still wants her lottery ticket to win, she just doesn't see how.

Most people are average, which means they can become well-above average at some one useful thing that is "worth being." Most people do get there. "Worth being" clearly implies, that being enough.

It's a bit more than that though. I definitely got plenty of exercise as a child, but my ADHD still manifested in me getting hurt a lot more than my peers, because I either didn't have the impulse control to not do something obviously dumb, or because I would get distracted while playing a game and then get hit in the face with a soccer ball or something as a result. I had a poor summer camp counselor actually start crying to my parents because she felt she was doing her job terribly because I got injured so often. My parents knew that was just how I operated though.

Getting the excess energy out definitely helps with feeling overly-energetic, but it doesn't fix many of the core issues that ADHD causes.
I identified with the person in the article, and what you described is how I pulled myself out of it. It was a mix somewhere between depression and existential despair. The notion of putting others first, kindness, and empathy is absolutely compatible with a secular lifestyle.

That said, I'd also encourage this person to seek therapy. Sometimes knowing the answer isn't enough and you need help getting there...perhaps with the benefit of medication.

The hard science went into developing the DSM-5, which is used for diagnosis. We don't need to conduct a study every single time a phychiatrist is presented with a kid who might have ADHD. Yes, the DSM is a checklist but it's a checklist for pretty much every single mental disorder that exists, by definition.
Your friend will nod in agreement, but nothing will change. He went into the firm and is staying on mostly likely knowing what is going on, because the pay is too good.
I would point out the other component to this, which is that the ideal structure should be what rewards the group, not the individual. So some people might be most suited as an individual to mate with many partners, but that would need to fall someplace within the larger hierarchy of their social suitability, in which case an absent or unavailable father is not ideal (children do objectively - although not universally - worse on average without their fathers). In that instance, whatever they are personally inclined to do is actually harmful to the broader group, meaning they should be given a compensatory incentive by the group to adopt a less promiscuous lifestyle. In either situation, whether it is natural for them to be monogamous or not, they should end up monogamous for the sake their young. So we have to look at the broader group structure as well.

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but what I hear in the article is just a lack of perseverance and persistence. Relationships are hard, if you leave because the other person fails to lift the toilet seat, or you quit your job because your boss is an a-hole I find that to be a lack of character.

Strife is what gives people a sense of satisfaction. Buying the new car after driving a POS for years that needed constant work on the weekend is massively more satisfying than having mommie buy you a BMW for your birthday. Having a good year with the wife after a couple where you barely talked... That is how people grow, not sitting in flower beds having everything handed to them and running away every-time the world doesn't respond as you wish.

This is better than many U.S. states, where the highest-earning public employee is a football coach.

But let's also consider that in private industry, a great many people in finance make more money than almost every professor. In almost every major sport, a backup professional athlete makes more money than the U.S. general in charge of security and of every military asset and operation in the entire Mideast. How many professions make more than doctors who save lives daily? Than teachers?

The issue is that the current labor marketplace does not allocate resources to those who provide the most benefit to society.

My personal experience of driving south from ~San Francisco down to Sunnyvale along 101 in the mornings is that it takes me around 1.2 hours, on average. I'm not sure what traffic maps have to say about it, but every time I drive down I hit backups at Millbrae, San Mateo around 92, Menlo Park (the Facebook exit), Palo Alto which is just always congested, and Mountain View.

In fact, the traffic is the deciding factor for me in ruling out regularly working in the Peninsula.

Where do you start, and at what time of day, to get 20-minute drive times? I'd love to know the secret.
Wish he had released the tooling. The REBL system looks a bit like the smalltalk virtual machine mixed with elements of Elm's time-traveling debugger. There has been a real need for serious error handling in clojure for a long time (since the stack traces and exceptions are borderline unintelligible). This thing makes it look much more user friendly.

They tried to fix the errors with Spec but honestly I don't think that solution worked that well. Spec is great for generative testing and other solutions but no one wants to write specs for every single small little potential error that could happen.
