AWS Lambda container image converter: repackages container into Lambda layers
Because tech churn only exists on HN. In the real world there are countless systems relying on tech that is considered ancient by HN standards (but in reality often isn't).

If there's a factory controller running some management software that requires Windows and IE, it's not unlikely that it will be cheaper to buy Microsoft, kill off all of its products, and only keep Windows and IE supported indefinitely than retrofitting/upgrading/updating those controllers.

BTW. Speaking of "goddamn long".

If you traveled anywhere by air, it's likely your booking ultimately went through Amadeus [1] which commands 42% of the world's GDS market [2]

They decommissioned their last mainframe in 2017[3]. Yes, mainframe. Because it's oh so easy to "kill something now for the benefit of humanity". But first you have to prove that killing some tech actually will benefit humanity.

> if the workers are paid less, they will find employment elsewhere

Thats a big assumption that is demonstrably untrue in many specific cases.
I agree. The degenerate gambler in me doesn't get much pleasure out of betting on the favorite and winning when they go off at 2/5. IMO it's much more satisfying to box an exacta or trifecta including the favorite and some less favored horses and hit that.
Given the book you recommended is out of print, do you have any second-best recommendations?

I code often as a statistician and data scientist, but am at a point I need to learn better craft. I'm all ears!
How about paying people who serve you instead of passing the "buck" to the someone else?

Why start tipping for outstanding service, instead of setting the floor at $0 for 0 service?

Answer: because people like to pay less for stuff and let the company eat the blame.

The restaurants, like the grocery stores in Instacart's case, determine the cost of food in their respective apps.
The idea that things are the way they are because people are convinced by an "argument" is a common misconception.

In reality, the system in the US is what it is because of the mostly random process of cultural development.

Changing cultural norms is not easy in any society, even if you have good logical arguments against them.
That's not the logic behind the tipping system. It's, "tipping incentives employees to perform well because they'll make more money for doing a better job".

It doesn't work that way either, but that's the rationale.

Forcing people to tip to ensure people get paid enough money is a consequence of the system, not the reasoning why the system is implemented.
Not a hard limit.
Apple Q1 Earnings
Apple has a phone number you can call and talk to someone who can actually fix your problems. Google does not.

Wife's appleid got broken into last year and some stuff was purchased with funds in the account. One call, and we got our money back and the account all reset. After being the administrator of a google business account for a few years, I was astonished. I'm not really ok with how much information apple OR google has on their users, but I am absolutely sure that apple is doing a better job and is more trustworthy.
How well does this work? Can you call a Go library function that spawns goroutines?
User launches voice chat, logs out, application stays around and listens on user/other users. Just one example. Having programs running despite being logged out is unintuitive and wrong. Most users do not know or care about going into a task manager. And if you want Linux to ever have a chance to succeed on desktop, they shouldn’t have to.

As to the Linus’ post, if you want to argue that there wasn’t enough notice about this change, then that’s fine, but this isn’t what anyone here is arguing.

Also it’s a configuration switch, any distribution could have decided to revert it or postpone it at their choosing.
Speaking of Google Image search, Google actually did a pretty nice arts and culture project on this a while ago: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/street-art

I wonder if you could use their provided StreetView to generate a bunch of perspective views for the same artwork... or if computing a view from another angle could be a way to fuzz your existing training set to generate more examples.
Yeah it was set up so that the PulseAudio JACK Sink was set to the system:playback_1 and 2, and then the PulseAudio JACK Source was set to system:capture_1 and 2.

There were pops but no xruns recorded with Jack.

Then in the OBS case, when I used the specific JACK client (as a secondary test), I wired the system:capture to whatever client came up with OBS. In hindsight, maybe that was a mistake, and I should have instead wired up the JACK sink's front-left/right instead of system capture?
i heard this same thing from an instacart worker more than a year ago. at the time i was confused and kind of doubted her story, but now i see that Instacart employment really is just as shitty as she said. wow.
Im a bit out of date, but lots of databases are moving towards an in-memory model (or in-memory feature sets) which means that hard drive access times aren't a bottleneck. The AWS EC2 instances you see with 1TB+ of RAM are generally aimed at this sort of thing.

Presumably once you have all your data in memory then the CPU becomes a bottleneck again, and if you can ship out the number crunching to GPUs in an efficient manner (i.e. you don't waste loads of time shuffling data between RAM and GPU) then you'll see performance gains.
Just FYI, as someone who also considers schools to be coercive institutions, "schools are more unjust than prison" is a hugely unconvincing pitch. I'd advise you to frame it another way.
Take a look at the AWS Elevation Tiles: https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/

While at Mapzen (RIP), I helped generate these from a wide selection of open elevation data sources.

That would explain all the rich skateboarders then :-)
> (3) The restaurant does not adjust wages after tips have been received

In many cases they do. If you receive zero tips for a shift, they are obligated to pay out minimum wage. If you receive $200 in tips for a shift, they pay out a lower figure, usually around $2.
Fuck it pisses me off how the conversation in America somehow shifted to make everything the fault of the poor.

Service disrupted because bus driver/garbage collector / teacher/hotel employee strike? How dare those selfish underpaid and overworked peasants stand up for reasonable hours! They should consider themselves lucky they have a job at all! (It should be: how dare the corporations or federal agencies pay so little to their employees that their only recourse was to risk their livelihood by walking off the job)

How about that case where the teacher used her health insurance to pay for an impoverished student's pills? She committed insurance fraud, she's just raising rates for everyone else! (Never mind that rates will be as high as an insurance company can legally get away with in this insane profit driven healthcare industry)

Or the housing crisis. Stupid proletariat, taking loans they knew they couldn't afford! Why didn't they educate themselves? (Instead of 1. Why weren't banks doing due diligence 2. Why were banks allowed to not do due diligence 3. Why the fuck don't they teach us basic financial skills in elementary school?)
Yes, a mistake on their part. They changed now to properly show that WASM is slower (not faster) then native code.

Ask HN: How do you manage vulnerabilities in the OSS projects you use?
We manually upgrade/patch OSS vulnerabilities in our internal artifactory. I find this process very tedious and time-consuming. How often and what tech do you use to upgrade/patch OSS versions? Is there a way to automated this process?

Is there a specific reason you don't use Firefox' password manager? (Read: Do I have reason to migrate out of it?)
> Practice, practice, practice is not necessarily good advice if you don't know what you're doing.

The lacking part is not knowing what you are doing (if you know what you are doing, why do you need to practice?), but having enough introspection to be critical of the code you just wrote.
I’m fairly cynical about the value of management consultants but they certainly have a big potential impact. And TBH they’re often a way of validating and selling to senior management the basic strategy lower level management concluded was the right approach.
After many years of discouraging women and other underrepresented minorities in tech, those groups have a clear disadvantage and creating groups and other ways to help them catch up is what we need to balance things out.

You are right about one thing, this isn’t only a problem within tech, there are many other industries and careers where women and other underrepresented minorities haven’t been given a chance to succeed and show their capabilities. But it has to start somewhere and with tech being so important for everything we do in our lives everyday, it just makes sense to be louder about this in this community to pledge for a change.

Experts become experts after years of experience, coaching, support, and having people who approve of them and their knowledge all of the time. Women and minorities lack that support, like I said, we are just playing catch up now.
The chances of there not being is approximately zero.
People do make the argument that you should tip generously because they're poorly paid.
Sanejs – fast lookup and verify the hashes of the default JavaScript libraries

Rotating weight is the most important to minimize.

While we’re calling out good examples, Toyota’s whole Kanban system is the root of most JIT manufacturing or business, as a formalized method. Toyota was very successful with it.

I didn’t mean to imply it couldn’t be done, but rather three points:

- It’s very challenging to get right, requires a lot of buy in and restructuring, and takes time to transition to.

- It’s an extremely risky thing to do if, unlike Toyota, your value proposition isn’t manufacturing, but instead smoothing the supply between a manufacturer and a customer.

- Most people implementing JIT have a poor model of the variances, and undervalue disruptions (in terms of harm to customers, lost goodwill, etc — the intangibles).

Taken together, I think it’s extremely challenging to do JIT for grocery stores, and they’re basically building a black swan nest, no matter how careful.

Spoilage in exchange for consistency is what I pay them for: removing that risks removing the value they deliver me.
I stand by the belief that if Microsoft wanted to make IE a core part of the operating system, then it should get support for new web standards for as long as the OS gets security updates.

A 10-year out of date browser just isn't useful, even if it is "secure". And by being the default, they are ensuring that many users are stuck with it. IE prevents me from using a lot of JavaScript and CSS features that have been around for years, all because 40% of my users work for companies or government entities that don't let them install Chrome or Firefox. "Web standards compliance" updates that get rolled out with security updates would solve this problem.
A restaurant in my neighborhood did not have tipping before New York raised its minimum wage to $15 because they paid their servers a "fair wage". It has since re-implemented tipping.
That's such a weird way to represent the +, wouldn't it be better to say 'One or more of' or 'At least one of' instead of 'One of' with the loop? I don't see the value of the loops in that expression.
About the comments, by no means do I mean that comments can be a crutch and should allow for sloppier coding, but sometimes the problem that you're trying to solve requires a lot of brainstorming, and when you hit your "aha" moment, you'd better write down what your thinking is, in English. The code itself might be pretty hairy to go over and decipher if that's all you've left yourself.

But I get what you mean, and you make a valid point.

A fake check causes a real headache
The point is that while it's easy to do in C++, it's extremely error prone.

Rust encourages you to write code that works with things like slices and references instead of copying, because the compiler won't let you use them in a way that is error prone.
it's one thing I'd like to stress:

Find a good mentor!

At my old Hackerspace, one of those high school robotics teams came to us for some help. The kid who was doing coding could really have used that advice. He confessed to me that he didn't have time to read through all of the controller framework code and understand it completely. We were under coding marathon conditions at that point, so he wasn't far off with that. One of the motors they were using was pretty big, though. Plenty big enough to seriously hurt someone. So I urged him to at least set breakpoints in all of his stubs, and step through those in the development environment at a minimum. He was pretty dismissive about checking his work. Downright smarmy, actually.

Sure enough, something goes wrong, and the metal body of this robot ends up spinning wildly, right in the middle of the team huddled around it, sending parts flying everywhere. Miraculously, no one was hurt. Did that kid learn anything? Nope. He still knew it all.
Why does he have to give back money or soul search? This isa common emotional take on all issues of this type. Human experience is dynamic and people seem to confuse a need for some type of life consistency of values with the validity of a "hot take" or conclusion.

I wish people would be like "im rich from it, get over it, but I realize it's the devil." I feel like the disintegration in good faith debate is mostly fucked because of the ease in which social media allows for an ad hominem fallacy.

It works out to the same end result (with the exception that waiters usually have some absolute minimum wage they can earn, so if a waiter makes 20$/hr in tips the restaurant still need to pay a bit on top of that.

One super annoying thing about this system and people choosing not to tip is a situation like this, assume a waiter is serving two customers in an hour, the local minimum wage is $9/hr and the sub-minimum wage is $3/hr, the first customer tips $4 dollars, yielding a potential wage excess of $2 (assuming a reliable rate) when the second customer tips $0 then the waiter ends up making no money beyond minimum wage. So if you're a tipper another customer that doesn't tip can cancel out your tip.

I'm not certain how these are aggregated from an accounting perspective, but I wouldn't be surprised if the window was either a full day or a pay period (in the latter case, every two weeks someone totals $3 * hrs worked, adds on total tips and verifies if that number is above $9 * hrs worked (do nothing) or is below (make up the difference out of the employer's pocket.

I want to try and map out street art in cities by using the landmark points in the background of images. Theres a few neat datasets that do landmark -> geodata translation, but as expected, its limited.

That being said, I can imagine in a very near future, it will be possible to train against google maps and get enough "landmarks" to geolocalize images.

Unfortunately, in this economy, it's probably more accurate to say "most people really don't have options" rather than "some"
Where's the outrage for the millions of service industry employees who also have to deal with this, and have been dealing with this for decades?

Why's Instacart getting the unique bad press?
I've learned that there are certain skills that separate good developers from mediocre ones, and that's 3 main things 1) curiosity 2) Grit 3) Patience

Curiosity is having a problem and caring about finding out why it isn't working. Grit is having the resolve to keep chipping away at the problem until it's solved. Patience is realizing that things take time.

Whenever a junior starts asking me things when I'm on a deadline, I politely tell them to "keep looking". I'll potentially provide a hint if it will help. Some get annoyed and scoff at me and tell me "I've been searching!". Others keep looking.
Come on. It IS socially mandatory.

People are harassed for not tipping. People look down on you for not tipping. Even, for bad service, we still have to tip.
Rich people live in nice neighborhoods that are great for running outside, not to mention safe.

They are also globally mobile. Winter too harsh in one place for running outside? Hop on a jet, go to a sunny, warm place.

I think the author missed an opportunity at the end, when threading the role of AI/decision-making with respect to our lives...

Our behavior in society is fluid and dynamic. And so the extent to which data gets used to influence our future can, and should also reflect our changing values and beliefs.

The caveat is: what's the lag behind to which automated systems accurately reflect our beliefs of what's right and wrong?

Things like the semantics of words change regularly, at least in English.

And so is it safe to assume and believe that systems using "big data" accurately project and reflect society within a given moment of time?
I have never understood the tipping concept.

Just pay your workers minimum wages at least and make tipping optional.

I shouldn't have to tip the "employees" just because a company can get away without paying even minimum wage to its "employees".

There is something seriously broken with the whole tipping thing.
The Fair Labor Standards Act disallows this type of agreement for ordinarily-tipped jobs.

I don't know how the contractor status of Instacart drivers affects this. They're not technically employees. But the verbiage of "Tip" in the UI is a strong signal to the customer that the money is directly credited to the driver. It should bear no relation to their fee from Instacart.

This is wage theft. A horrible agreement doesn't make it right, even if it is legal.
I love how even knowing the company is stealing from their employees isn't enough to get you to drop using their service. I'm going to send at most 3 angry tweets about this before I forget about it and move on to the next thing to be upset about today.
No, C-shift-w closes the window. C-q Quits the application, meaning it would close all of your Windows. And if the entire application closes, a hotkey to bring the window back won't work. That's why it's so frustrating when I click it by accident.

Instacart doesn't list any company officers or important contacts on their website. I guess because they would end up dealing with irate customers too much.

Here are my comments. There is too much color in the tab and bookmarks bars. It should fade with focus on the content. The icons are too contrasting, the outlive around the folders is too harsh. I don't think they changed the icons design in 10 years or more. I find his lack of aesthetic attention jarring. Same goes for navigation and settings interface.
I highly recommend this book. It's easily accessible, fun to watch the story spin out, and recalls the magic of early UNIX and dial-up internet. Cliff Stoll is quite a character - check out his TED talk to see what I mean.
I think I finally understand why my former very blue-collar coworkers would never leave a tip when we went out for lunch. I guess they had better information on the local businesses.
Gigeconomy is just modern day slavery dressed as an informal employee contract with, "work your own hours".
The very people writing these workers’ paychecks are effectively making this argument.
I wouldn't call AMD a champion of OpenCL. Only OpenCL 2.0 is supported, and not completely on ROCm yet. OpenCL 2.0 isn't too hot on the AMDGPU-pro drivers either, and SPIR-V intermediate language doesn't really work well on AMD's GPUs (it either runs slowly or fails to run).

Frankly, it seems like AMD is going to be more successful with HCC and its HIP (CUDA-compatibility layer). It plays a distant 2nd place vs NVidia, but the CUDA-like single source environment is a superior development platform.

--------

OpenCL 2.2 seems to be only supported on Intel platforms. Either Intel GPUs, Intel CPUs (to AVX512), or Intel Altera FPGAs.

If I were to write OpenCL for AMD GPUs, I'd stick with OpenCL1.2 unless there was an absolute need for OpenCL 2.0 features. The OpenCL 1.2 stuff just seems more mature and better tested on AMD GPU Platforms. Hopefully ROCm changes that, but that's my opinion for the current state of affairs.
We are talking about smart home things here though, which usually depend on their own services anyway.

This is more of a problem with things like Windows reaching out to msftconnecttest.com or some other generic internet service. But in the case of a smart home device it's needs are usually more well defined.

This becomes harder with a consumer router trying to determine if it is online though unfortunately because of exactly what you describe.
