The article forgets about Azure or GCP. I know that AWS is the most popular, but you shouldn't forget about those 2. From the article it seems like there are AWS and nothing else, which is obviously not true. And Azure is backed by Microsoft, GCP is backed by Google, so if "Bezos loses his mind" there will be other alternatives besides Kubernetes.
The 2016 geophysical data summary and data package details (excel) has a nice map that that gives a bit of context to the region and data. [1]

I just wanted to see some numbers or a nice pdf or two with a few seismic plots; [2] and [3] delivered. Although I'm not so sure about the value of the word clouds [4], the Relinquishment reports are concise with pretty plots.

Is the wild bee population also increasing, or is the increase due to the beekeeping "industry" (as it is termed in your [1])?

This is one of my biggest problems with MacOS, that the touchpad and external mouse aren't scroll direction independent....
This announcement is about Handsontable completely shutting down the open source offering and using the same distribution channels to pump proprietary software. Wheres a month ago https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/ had open source code, now it is all proprietary. That's not something to celebrate.

As pointed out in the github discussion, Elastic did the same thing with Elasticsearch, and that contributed to AWS forking the project: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/keeping-open-source-...

The same exact issue applies here:

> The maintainers of open source projects have the responsibility of keeping the source distribution open to everyone and not changing the rules midstream

> we believe that maintainers of an open source project have a responsibility to ensure that the primary open source distribution remains open and free of proprietary code

Those comments aren't an indictment of the open core business model or of attempts to monetize open source, but rather a criticism of "muddying the waters" and trying to create licensing confusion.
Honestly depends on the price and the type of customer you are after. On a personal level I agree with you and when I worked at smaller companies with tighter budgets no price meant no sales. However with enterprise level sales price is almost never the stumbling block, having a sales team that can customize the offer to fit into your particular companies sales process is what makes or breaks a deal.
Because it can easily be corrupted since you can’t define “good outcome”, and it’s impossible to prosecute quid pro quo for a wink and nod deal since there isn’t sufficient evidence.

In a democracy, the government exists to provide a set of services agreed upon by the people for the benefit of all the people, many times via their elected representatives. Roads, educational facilities, welfare, military, all of those expenses don’t disappear because someone decided to donate something.

If you want tax dollars to support a cause, then vote for it. And there’s no reason tax deductions should be given to support your own little tribe.
God you are so much better than us. Tell me more!
It's funny that you mention it. In the OS wars, OS X and *BSDs were also forgotten.
Even more crazy, you can put Linux on Windows!

If you take a step away from the spiral that is AWS PaaS / SaaS services, k8s isn't that dissimilar to EC2, VPC, EBS, and IAM and thus a lot of the same arguments around lock-in apply.

This will become more obvious as people put windows VMs on k8s because it's there and they can.
I don't know if it's just me, but lately the amount of interesting stuff (articles, software) i come across that sadly is only available in chinese keeps increasing.

If it wasn't for these groups of volunteers that translate them to english (and the other way around, also useful) these projects would be completely unaccessible.
Actually a newer “version” by the same chemist who's text was just copy pasted by that Ing. (i.e. Engineer) guy (who names that copy-pasting “A small Tribute”)

That (the newer one, from your link) was published by: “Chemical innovation 30 (12), 50-55, 2000”

Compare with the peer reviewed, not confirming "many times higher pressure" claim:

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/101

"We show from the analysis of nitrogen and argon isotopes in fluid inclusions trapped in 3.0- to 3.5-billion-year-old hydrothermal quartz that the partial pressure of N2 of the Archean atmosphere was lower than 1.1 bar, possibly as low as 0.5 bar, and had a nitrogen isotopic composition comparable to the present-day one. These results imply that dinitrogen did not play a significant role in the thermal budget of the ancient Earth and that the Archean partial pressure of CO2 was probably lower than 0.7 bar."

There is sure possibility that the pressure changed through the times, but not alk “proofs” are real proofs.
I do so professionally. Our 35+ year old application is written in what was once VAX BASIC running on OpenVMS (Now on Integrity and called HP BASIC).
Seeing as people have mentioned libinput, xorg.conf and other manual things and seeing as this is Hacker News.. the way I get around this is by using cwm as a window manager with its rudimentary tiling, tmux in st/alacritty/xterm and either Firefox or Chromium with vimium. Often I don't reach for the touchpad or mouse for hours.
So she gave herself ngf pills? Is there any reason to think that has a calculable effect?
It's pretty much the same issue on iOS, we only have two crappy (and poorly managed) walled garden in the mobile world.
A hard question it might be, but you don't get to write it off. If you think the state should intervene in cases of "child abuse" but not "bad parenting", you need to define - and justify - that line.
Be careful of your city bylaws. I grew a wildflower garden in my backyard in Canada and got a complaint once. Given that the neighbour to one side asked be to do it makes me think it might have been the neighbour on the other side :-) I actually didn't mind cutting it down because I was moving that year anyway, but it pays to talk with your neighbours and find out what the city requires. It is especially important to understand what is and is not a noxious weed and to be on top of keeping them out of your sanctuary.
Maybe I should have said "it is commonly standard to put the unit after the quantity". My point is that this format is ubiquitous and that English language formatting of currency values is the outlier. It is not even internally consistent, as this rule only holds for the symbol, not for the ISO code, the full name or for speech.
Anything that happens after the end of an individual’s reproductive years (perhaps also the period of raising the offsprings) stops exerting any evolutionary pressure. The fact that you have a “defect” at old age no longer blocks you from transmitting it so it can propagate through generations without evolution selecting against it. Random mutations “fixing” the gene can occur but still have to compete with the overwhelming number of non mutated “defective” genes.
Drawing comparison between OpenStack and K8s is also invalid IMO... they operate at different levels of abstraction. You can use K8s with OpenStack as a cloud provider as with any other cloud provider. K8s is intended to abstract away the infrastructure that lies underneath and give you a consistent way to deploy services across different cloud providers.
Which of the two is Linux? It's more like Windows vs Java.
Here's an interesting story of how some traders hacked the telgraph system in France, to get advance knowledge of market movements...

So many times i have seen coders "promoted" to managing roles. It actually seems to be normal practice to do this because: the coder is intelligent, the coder knows whats going on technically, plus the idea that general experience is somehow related to management skill.

However the truth is if your not regularly training as a manager and consciously applying well known good management techniques then your probably not doing so well... as a manager.

As a coder you train a lot! then as a manager you should also train => proactively get training please!!

However management is a soft-skill, and coding is a hard -skill. Mistakes in management are not seen clearly to actually matter too much. Mistakes in coding clearly matter. When bad management techniques are applied (such as frequently requesting changes, imposing bad deadlines, not actually planning ....) then the outcome: bad or wrong code, missing deadlines will be seen as an issue with the coder and not the management. How many coders are being turned over before....

an anecdote:

When the emperor napoleon marched back to Paris after his 5 month sprint through the Russian winter, he was able to return as Emperor and remain as Emperor without too much trouble when considering the scale of the disaster, he was then able to then raise another Army and start a new series of campaigns.

Any help or suggestion in internet application login
I think the comparison that the author makes is that AWS and Kubernetes are both platforms that you code your apps to, just like Windows and Linux
How do you intend on performing your tests? Just by continuously testing your own mouse precision performance?

Would it be possible to emulate touchpad input? Maybe see if you can record enough touchpad data on macOS to be able to make a replay driver on Linux, or maybe with an arduino emulating a touchpad with synthetic input.

That way, testing could become a set of test cases along the lines of "given this input and a cursor at position 0,0, the cursor should end up at position X, Y", and you'd be able to see how big the current error is. A bunch of those tests with various recorded movements should be a lot more stable than a human test.
Chrome 74 beta adds Windows Dark Mode, support for OS-level 'reduced motion'
I'm totally in favour of open data, of course, but there are ethical issues when the data is explicitly intended to promote "exploration activity on the UK Continental Shelf, ultimately boosting recovery".

Potentially increased extraction of fossil fuels is incompatible with the UK's climate obligations and not something that should be celebrated.
Could it be argued that this is in contravention of the GDPR? Can Twitter demonstrate that it's necessary for them too have a phone number to provide their service?
Any recommendations for introductory text for writing compilers and interpreters?
Once you set a fee I know apps will be updated less often, it'd be sad for open-source apps - which I'd say are the most useful of all apps on Google Play.
When the benefits stop out-weighting the disadvantages.
In terms of the comparison AWS vs. K8... are we not talking a much larger stack to replace AWS? i.e. VMware/OpenStack + K8 + Docker...Maybe this is what the author was implying?
I started my first Android app recently, and decided to go with their "Jetpack" stack recommendations. I wasted hours trying to get Dagger 2 injection working, only to discover I had to write tons of glue code which obviated the purpose of the DI framework in the first place! I don't want to worry about transitive dependencies over an object graph and writing ViewModelProviderFactories (actual name) and persisting my data with Room.... I just want widgets, logic and layout.

Next I tried GKE and it was an absolute joy. I had a simple web app serving traffic an hour in. Probably because unlike Android, they have to make people like GKE to sell it.
Because you “worked for an AWS customer” that wanted it is not a valid reason for why AWS should invest in the service.
Ah, ok, "introduction" as in "Introduction to Fuchsia OS". Which is interesting too, but I initially thought that Google is actually introducing Fuchsia OS now, i.e. presenting plans to replace Android with it. Wishful thinking ;)
This comment also illustrates a big problem with Google's automated processes: The people willing to put in the work to comply with them / get around them are more often the spammers. You see it in search too. Who researches and does tests on page ranking and SEO? The spammers.
Seems this will be our future. A lot of systems will be massive, automated and do mostly the right thing. But to cut cost there will be no way to fix errors so if you get caught up in such a situation you are just sorry, out of luck.
This isn't really news. Basically WeWork have just expanded to a lot more locations. 105% increase in revenue, 103% increase in losses. So essentially they're keeping the same revenue, same costs at a larger scale. So the message here is really that they're continuing to execute to their plan- fast expansion. At some point they're going to need to turn all this into profitability, but they're not actually planning to do that right now, so there's no point in judging them for failing to be profitable since they aren't trying.

They seem to have plenty of cash on hand (1 year runway in cash plus much more available from softbank). So the losses really aren't a problem.

Another thing I've heard is "But during a recession their long term rents will eat capital and demand will collapse". But that might not be true- it may be that they have deep enough pockets to weather a recession, pick up new cheap property in long-term agreements and gain customers. Hear me out: Maybe they can make a play during the recession that their short-term flexible leases are low risk for clients during a recession making them a great choice. It would mean they come out of the next recession with great market share and then can focus the next business cycle on starting to squeeze out those profits.

I've got to admit I actually believe they could get to profitability - but the only way I see is by growing to a size where they can drop prices in local areas to force out competition and charge monopolistic prices elsewhere.
I've been using DuckDuckGo for about a year now and I've not noticed the difference. Stack Overflow, MDN are common search results while the occasional blog post also find its way into the result..
From what I've seen, toy implementations of ML-family functional languages are very popular subjects of compilers textbooks and courses.

(By shocking coincidence, the same courses often use ML-family functional languages as the implementation language...)
Wow! Can you share your story more? What does your application do? Why did you choose BASIC 35 years ago? Did the question about rewriting it another language come up anytime? How did such discussions go? Do you enjoy writing BASIC code?
WeWork is aggressively buying out the good spots. They're going for a limited resource before competitors can, and unlike software, the entry barrier is just money, brand, and interior decoration skills.
at the same time, the medium is the message. Twitter encourages this bad behaviour, not because of intent but because it's highly geared towards hot takes and doesn't provide the character space for the level of nuance required to take a serious look at real life. So people condense what could be a complex question into a strong statement, even better if it's provocative because as provocation draws eyeballs.
This particular author seems to just be starting out on their career. I could only find 2 other articles authored by them on the internet. The article itself is pretty light and is mostly quoting twitter and pre-existing interviews on on a talk show.

Can you trust it? Hmmm... Well, you could check up the Twitter postings to see if they are real :-). Not sure if there is much to trust...
Did you mean SDK 28? There was no Android 28.0 as this was posted.
Isn't stroke order something a set of rules you learn once (e.g. top to bottom, and left to right)? If so, you could programmatically determine the correct stroke order for each character.
Often times admins are the assholes here (kick for using weapon X, perk Y, attachment Z) and you have no way prior to connecting to know which stupid rules are now in place.

(that and the fact that dedicated servers in BO1 meant you could rent them just from one or two places, no files for you)
Completely, I found out yesterday that oil and gas companies only pay a fraction of the corporation tax that normal companies pay in the UK! We have as a society very strange priorities or maybe the people who assume power are just completely self interested.
There are exceptions.

The WeWork I'm in was 30% occupancy for the first 4 months it was open... then literally overnight it jumped to 90% because a couple big companies came in and took over an entire floor and blocks of offices on another floor. In 24 hours I went from a WeWork skeptic (for good reason, they acquired my company and I chose not to stay on) to cautiously optimistic that my stock may be worth something some day. Who knows how it'll play out in the end but they do provide a product people really want and that's worth something if they don't run out of money before that happens.
The Problem with this Kind of interview is that a lot of These Manager types won't do interviews About their Jobs. So you will only get interviews with ~20% of them who are probably neither at the top nor at the Bottom of the Manager sphere.
> Does your language have a profiler? How's support for debugging? Suppose there's a memory leak. Can I peek into "what has been allocated" without writing the instrumentation myself?

No it doesn't because I did not need that yet. Here is how your little language can get its first user: don't try to conquer the world with it right away. Conquer your own desktop first.
Are they creating Fuchsia so that the Google services are part of the OS and impossible to remove?
That's nice, but none of those articles address wild populations.
This sort of stuff has been around for a while, it helps some, but realistically your game needs to be designed from the ground up with latency and stutter in mind.
If you do this, you wont need the complexity and expense of this sort of thing.

First you need client side prediction and smoothing. Next, you must design your game so it follows certain very strict rules about player interaction. These rules allow the players to feel the have real time synchronization when in fact synchronization is lazy.
The specific rules required are different for each game, and must be nailed down before game design begins.
Being driven around Manhattan is a nice thing, when congestion isn’t a concern.
The exact same thing happened to me last week

My ads-free really simple React Native app was removed from the play store for “deceptive ads”

I don't care too much as this was just a way to learn React Native for me, but it's still really weird

To be honest every interaction I have with Google products nowadays are bad:

- This app kicked from the Play store

- A bug with the new Adsense Auto-ads where you couldn't disable the giant ads that were added on your content without removing completely Google Adsense script, which I did

I'm now moving away from anything Google
That's google on their own site providing an example of do as I say not as I do. :)

They've always discouraged and penalised sites that do that themselves. The search guidelines always talked up what was needed on a page quantity wise, and discouraged brevity. Adsense brought additional, and longer restrictions, and then assorted SEO recommendations and some snake oil to talk around the subject, include synonyms etc.

All that drove a certain style of writing content for the web that has escalated into a very particular - and easily recognisable - style of waffle. That's almost never what's needed for accuracy, readability or quick answers. Long form journalism for the web is a bastard child of traditional long form journalism and SEO inspired waffle, and probably the most annoying of the lot.
K8s is not an AWS comparison, at least not a proper one.

K8s is software, but AWS is software + hardware. Your K8s cluster likely would still be hosted on AWS/Azure/GCP.

K8s lives upon the cloud providers, they are not competitors.
Coming from a position where I have done both, I'm confident in telling you this is not true. Before I actually tried it, I was convinced this was the case though. It's a tempting thought that seems correct on the face of it.
'I paid £160 for a pair of limited edition nappies'
This is what really confuses me. If the business is successful, this bullshit will be small beans and his wealth in wework will make him incredibly wealthy. So there's no upside to doing this if the business succeeds.

If the business fails, not only will he have no wealth from the company, you know sure as shit someone will come after him for these shady practices, putting him in extra trouble.
The most expensive parts of AWS for us are:

RDS - hosted non proprietary databases.

EC2 - Standard VM hosting

Redshift - a proprietary OLAP database that uses standard Postgres drivers

S3 - object storage. But there are so many S3 API compatible storage providers, there is little “lock-in”

But the fact is that lock-in is overrated. Your CTO is statistically as likely to move their entire infrastructure just because a few engineers promised it would be “seamless” as your DBA is going to move away from their Oracle installation because developers “used the Repository Pattern to abstract database access”.
Obviously, but GP mentioned that they found the feat of flying across the world particularly impressive/scary, so I thought they might not be aware that super many birds do that today and it's awesome and amazing :-)
In my experience AWS is the huge waste of time. I spent years on and off effectively building poor implementations of k8s to make AWS digestible to developers. If you work in "IT" rather than infrastructure for a large software company you might not have experienced this as internal IT is more static and easy to run on AWS/VMWare/whatever.

For me k8s finally signals moving beyond that problem and onto more interesting things as it "solves" that. Devs understand it "well enough" or can copy/paste from another project and get going without hand holding.

People that don't understand the value of the single unified API vs the hodge podge of AWS garbage (don't even mention CloudFormation) are completely missing the point.
Sure it's no better for running your "IT" workloads, but that isn't what it's for.
My understanding is that they make some bullshit claim about how they have instrumented everything and that helps them to apply machine learning to their community and app, blah blah. It's def not a tech company but I could see them going that way eventually.

BTW - the concept is "valuation", not "evaluation" :)
