Actually, this stack is deployed as a serverless function !
"Serverless for API" means i could use any language to develop API.
Serverless provides better scalability in my opinion.
Blaming complexity on React is a bit like blaming complexity on ERB. The problem isn't React, the problem is the massive hole where React doesn't have an opinion. React improves the area around the hole so much that the technologies we use to fill the void look obviously deficient in comparison.
This is also very expensive very quickly compared to the mileage you can get running an application on AWS.

And if you pick a neat tech provider and it goes belly up (like Parse!) you’re in some real pain.
Boeing's actions are absolutely mind boggling. All consumers want is _some_, _any_ evidence that they take passenger safety seriously.

Pilots have to take less training to operate a proven deadly aircraft, with software patch on top, than I have to take to work in an office job... that's fucking insane.

How can we make Boeing feel some pain for this? You know, actually enough for them to start taking this seriously.
It’s still alive and well just FWIW.
Why wouldn't they just issue the order to two developers? That seems to trivially solve the difficulty since the second code reviews for the first
Foxtel attributes double-digit growth to wicket-predicting cricket-mad AI bot
Like someone in this thread said: "Medical care really is one of those things that no person should have to beg or borrow for, in a civil society."

There's nothing I can do for you if you think that access to health care should be contingent on your bank account.
Considering Boeing already participates or works in tandem with the FAA to write the rules, it is pretty sick they are trying to work around the rules. This is all about profit and they are doubling down, likely due to contract obligations with Southwest and others that this plane will not require a new type rating or any sim. time. Lets hope EASA actually reviews this rather than the FAA letting boeing self audit ...
Historically, MongoDB was unauthenticated and insecure by default. Because that's always a good idea.

You should never assume anyone is going to use your product in a secure fashion, and make it so that they have to at least make _some_ effort towards security.

Other than that, writing new features is fun, and you can get so many developers (that don't think about security) for the same amount of money as a good security professional, or a developer with even half an ounce of security sense, commands.

Security is always inconvenient, takes extra effort, and is invisible. So many companies and managers deprioritise it over more visible feature work, forgetting that security in and of itself IS a feature.
Serverless is more aimed at abstracting infrastructure, with small services written in lambda/cloud functions/etc. So not really a rails replacement.
The video doesn't portray the left-vs-right correctly. As the person and screens are set up in the video, the left and right eye both experience the left and right images presented on either side of the point-of-fixation. However, the video portrays all information from left eye going to right brain, and all information from right eye going to the left brain ... that's not how it happens ...

... rather, the left-hemi-visual-field from both left- and right-eyes goes to the right brain, and the right-hemi-visual-field from both eyes goes to the left brain, as depicted in [1].

EDIT: grammar
Jargon only.

Regress with a dummy means find a set of coefficients which minimize the sum of squared errors between a column (or columns) of a dependent variable from linear combinations of independent variables. The "dummy" is a 1/0 flag identifying whether the observation row belongs to a category, e.g. gender (assuming a binary classification) with Female mapped to 1. The coefficient that results from this algorithm will be the effect difference for a Female, and the intercept will represent the Male group. Simple model: dependent variable is wage, independent variable is years worked, and dummy represents female. The model is then

Wage = b + m * years worked + c * 1(gender = F).

The intercept term b (0 years worked) will be the average male wage with 0 years worked. b+c, the coefficient for female, will be the average female wage for 0 years worked.

With the regression, you get some nice things out like confidence intervals around your coefficient estimates and more. So you can test hypotheses like whether their is a wage gap (c=0) or how large the wage gap might be (c=any number).

Obviously a canned example, but this helps to introduce all but your last question. You can also test whether there is a slope effect. That is called an interaction term: you add an independent variable to the model that multiplies the gender coded variable to years worked. This would then show, if significant, that you can rule out a hypothesis that there is no wage differential between males and females for years worked (i.e. not just two parallel lines, but different slopes entirely).
At that huge scale and tiny speed the structural material being compressed would prevent any useful power transfer.
It seems like there are lots of ideas like this from engineers who partially understand other disciplines, a little nugget of a good idea but with knowledge gap issues that prevent feasibility. I still think they’re a good thing because eventually someone will float an idea with potential. There’s no harm in throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks!
I fly at least once a month. I'll be avoiding MAX until agencies other than the FAA recertify the plane. FAA cannot be trusted because of regulatory capture so I won't take their word over this anytime soon.
There still is the fact that they released a non-fix but claimed it fixed it. At that point it is not unreasonable to infer either negligence or bad faith.

Having "perfect security" is obviously not expected, but it is expected that you act on receiving knowledge of risks in a reasonable manner instead of basically writing a sign saying "please do not exploit" and wrongly claiming you fixed it.
It was a state university. Their stand out program was in ocean engineering (much better than MIT's program), and the computer science department was new when I attended.
Which shouldn't have quote because it wasn't what I said, and isn't even a fair reading of what I said.

Correlated implies a statistical relationship, ruling out phrases like "will take any risk regardless" and requiring phrases more like "may tend to" and such.

And then I even said that I "expect" the correlation, so it's probably reasonable to read the usage as more conversational than scientific.

People always forget Ember.js, like it's some relic of the past, despite it having very active development and a toolchain for a consistent Rails-like experience on the frontend. There's no reason why you can't use React or Vue components inside an Ember.js application if that's what you prefer.

As much as I've grown to despise the Ruby community for relying too heavily on metaprogramming and inheritance, leading to abstraction hell, I think Rails is still a great framework for serving web pages. Just because it's not the shiny new thing doesn't mean it can't do most of the things we want from it(not every company is FAANG scale), and there is still an abundance of Rails jobs in 2019.

Yes, but 'litter' is not necessarily bad. Fallen leaves are 'leaf litter' for example.

The problem is not litter per se, but how it degrades over time. Shells become sand, leaves become soil. Glass becomes sea glass. Plastics become deadly blockages in animals stomachs.
Have you used Vue? From reading it appears Vue has an opinion many places where react does not, but I have built nothing serious in either.
What Google had to do was to blindly copy Fakebook and use its search engine to market the hell out of it while there was still hope. In other words be ruthless. But that trait comes easier to MarkZ than the Google trio.
If you couldn’t, at least don’t use math guys to build a product for humans. You see Circles and collections and a plus one button may sound cute to HN audience but are far too complex ideas for an average user. The avg dude needs a textbox and a feed. Any value adding concept scrambles brains.
As far as learning is concerned, probably.

As far as career opportunities go, no. Having gone to a "big name" school/university definitely opens doors.
If we weren't at the top of the house of cards, we'd have nothing to worry about. But unless you can stomach eating nothing but genetically enhanced yeast, it might be worth trying to keep some other species down the food chain around.

Well, what you do in school is network so it does matter.

I should also say, every school has passionate and ambitious people who will do great things. A better school just makes it easier to blindly stumble into those social circles.
>Go also favors libraries over frameworks and is super thoughtful about using too many untested dependancies which means we don’t get stuck in frameworks that become legacy (rails)

The Go standard library doesn't come close to replicating the functionality of Rails, let alone the gem ecosystem of Ruby/Rails. If you don't need it, great! Otherwise, you're spending time re-implementing what already exists and probably doing a worse job of it.

I believe Firebase + React is actually that. Yes, it's buying into a proprietary system, but it is so productive working in that. Database is taken care of, file uploads, authentication etc. are all taken care of.

It's not comparable to Rails in that we can't have plugins to install new things that work with the entire stack, but whatever we have initially is really good and I feel makes me very productive
I'd highly recommend anyone who wants to see what an MCAS runaway looks like and the steps needed to correct it watch the following video by Mentour Pilot.[1] He's a 737 pilot for a European budget carrier, and I believe he is qualified to certify other pilots.

In the video he goes over what an MCAS failure/runaway stabilizer would feel like to the pilots, the troubleshooting steps, and at the end of the video he shows a simulated runaway MCAS failure in a sim.

He also has a few other videos on the MCAS accidents. I'd highly recommend watching all of them; he does a very good job at putting everything into perspective in a way that the news does not.

They (for a long time) were default-no-auth is why.

Someone in a semi-technical role started one up, dumped a bunch of data on it, and it got left publicly accessible.

The problem is for people to be aware of the leaks, they need to be thinking about security at all, and I'd wager in most cases of mongo-based leaks, that wasn't even a consideration of the people who set them up.

What they should do, is give some pilots their training course they propose, then simulate the issue on a simulator. Prove they response appropriately with the training proposed.

If I am remembering correctly, secure enclave has already been compromised. It was mentioned in an article about development iPhones for sale on the black market. So physical access to the device means all of that is already accessible.
Long time rails developer turned "enterprise". Spring-cloud now requires much less boilerplate and is easy to develop with using kotlin's syntactic sugar shortening code and making it more concise.

Orm is kind of a failure and requires us to write some queries by hand into string literals, but at least it has it's own sql syntax to avoid engine dependence.
Nah, you need typed holes. Check out Hazel.org.

If by blogging platform, you mean a place where people can post content, comments on each other's content, have friends lists, send messages, have public pr private posts, and have community pages with shared content authoring, then yes. But then, so is Facebook.
Even if this is right from technical point of view (which I am not qualified to comment on), Boeing being perceived as dragging their feet on safety and training is very bad for the image of the airplane.

I think that they are still trying to save the type rating, but I feel this ship has sailed.
Legal-Binding “Work for Hire” & Freelance Jobs – 5 Key Points
I'm no expert but pretty much everyone was for the Patriot act. It was voted on like 2 weeks after 9/11. Crucially, it was also supposed to retire. And now we have the freedom act, essentially the same thing...(I'm like 80% on it being called freedom act)
Probably because if you combine the Abrahamic trifecta you get 55.5%, whereas if you combine Sikhism, Taoism, etc, you get 11.8%. Judaism is probably only partitioned because of familiarity. Clumping the Abrahamic religions would make the map less interesting. Partitioning "other" could make the map too busy.

There's always a balance between how refined of data do you make. Part of this is dependent upon your audience (note that most people that use the internet reside in a location that has a dominant Abrahamic following).

This doesn't look like discrimination to me...

> And I suspect that if you polled in China, you'd find a majority agree with the regulations on speech

Of course you would, polls like all speech are tightly controlled.
> Which is why I'm saying that shouldn't be allowed.

How? You're going to pass legislation that mandates manufacturers support repairing indefinitely and at a reasonable cost? What if they go out of business, or just literally don't have a repair division in the first place? And why does the manufacturer get gifted a monopoly here?

> I don't see that. I see an inevitable result of engineering things to be as compact and efficient as possible. The higher the active to dead matter ratio, the less leeway there is for simple repair and swapping too. The problem isn't making that tradeoff, the problem is not pricing it in.

That's because you're confused as to the topic it seems. Nobody is saying that devices have to be easy to repair. They are instead saying you can't DRM replacement hardware and actively block importation of replacements, which is literally what major companies (including Apple) are doing right now. It isn't about engineering trade-offs compromising ease of repair, it's about literally engineering it to be impossible to repair (without DRM keys)

> It makes the most sense to regulate the desired result. Just pass a law saying manufacturers must offer 1 year of warranty on every $125 value of electronic goods up to a maximum of 6 years.

Well for starters because that's not actually the desired result, nor is that even a _good_ result. And you're calling other people's posts "frustrating", lol

> The disdain technical people here often display towards people in other fields even now is really sad.

Talk about unrelated & unwarranted, wow.
> I think it can be useful to think of 'god' that way (as in the will of god, the desires of god, the thoughts of god), as much as a corporation, a culture, a nation.

That does not sound useful in the slightest.

That's an interesting idea! Finding the 'victim' in insider trading is complicated as well because it is typically someone who would have made a trade but didn't, so how do you know who they are?

There was a Planet Money podcast about this [0] that if I remember correctly said it wasn't even explicitly illegal in the US until relatively recently. It was considered theft to take insider knowledge, but not illegal to trade on it.

[0] I think it's this one: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/12/23/460689797/epis...
I suspect we have a variable number of supplemental threads of execution serving the primary one we live on.

Recalling distant memories asynchronously after struggling to remember anything about it sometimes feels very much like another person interrupting and delivering the information once it's found.
The point isn't that every user will know how to repair their own products, rather that they could if they choose.

Think about your lawnmower. If the engine won't run, maybe you can figure out through a bit of research that it's probably the spark plug. So you can go buy a spark plug and swap it yourself. You don't need the manufacturer to authorize your new spark plug.

However, many people would not know anything about where to begin replacing their spark plug, and don't want the hastle to learn, so they bring it to the manufacturer and pay a premium to have it done for them. But if they someday decided to learn, they could learn themselves. Or even take their lawnmower to a friend who can help them.

To take away those option entirely, only leaving the one option -- paying the manufacturer a premium to do it for you -- is what I have an issue with.

Bonus: the lawnmower manufacturer could include a type of safety lock that does not allow you to work on your lawnmower, to prevent a user from hurting themselves. However, the manufacturer should also give the user the ability to remove that lock, positively asserting that they know what they're doing (like giving the private keys, or allowing a motherboard switch to be toggled which unlocks the system, etc)
The litmus test I think we should use is "We should honor the intent of the user".

If a group of users explicitly want access to white nationalist content, they should be able to get it. So I would oppose blogs, webhosts, and cloudflare deplatforming anyone for any reason besides the outright illegal.

Facebook and Twitter are not just about serving content to those who have the intent to view it...infact the whole point of these social networks is that they expose content to NEW people who didn't initially have any intent to view. This is promotion, not access, and I have no problem with private entities choosing what they want to promote.

I would apply this same test to payments. Users who have explicit intent to financially contribute to objectionable content creators such as Alex Jones should still have a way of doing so. When Patreon, Matercard, etc etc deplatform him it closes the door to those who already have intent. Of course, I'm all for FB and Twitter shutting down the campaign so the word wouldn't spread nearly as far.

As a moderate liberal who finds sexual content over-censored, yet am disgusted by right-wing and anti-vax (anti-vax is often leftist!) conspiracy theorists, I think this test "honor their intent" test is a great way to keep the internet relatively sex positive, and extremist content relatively niche.
Or every time we ask users we get "just fix it" and "I click the thing and it breaks" style answers.

Ask HN: Is there a “Just Landed” alternative app?
Just Landed was a fantastic app that simply told you when to pick people up at the airport: http://www.getjustlanded.com/

It was shut down a few years ago and every now and then I look around for something similar but no dice.

Does anyone have a good way to know when to pick people up at the airport?
I totally get not buying a car under some circumstances given Lyft/Uber, ZipCar, and traditional rentals. I really have trouble with understanding not getting a drivers license other than in some very limited circumstances.

Your college friends are not going to give you rides forever. And your work options, living options, and vacation options are going to be quite limited. Obviously some people do it, but it's hard to imagine for a typical middle-class professional over the long term.

Even people I've known in Manhattan who put it off for a few years learned to drive eventually.
Nothing mind boggling. Boeing are trying desperately to avoid new type rating. That would leave them in the same business position where they were before developing MAX and with a bad image to boot.

Not saying they are right, but they just don't have many good moves.

Doing the Right thing leaves them years behind. It will also limit airline expansion. Airbus cannot pick up slack and there are no other players in the market.

It is a clusterfuck but like it or not 737 MAX is too big to fall(pun intended) .
I don't get the "no late fees" feature. I suppose they'll still make plenty of money with the interest charges, and they'll probably freeze the card for new charges at some point.

agree, I think there is a massive distinction between a buffer overflow, which can end up rewriting memory of the stack vs an integer overflow, which might cause the value in the specific segment of allocated memory to represent a different value.
Yes, java has some behaviors which are not ironclad safe, but you have to recall it was designed in the world dominated by C/C++ at the time. Certainly modern attempts such as Rust and Go should have learned a thing or two since.

At the end of the day, most of the unexpected/nasty behaviors of java dont fall to the issues listed in the article anyways, except maybe data races (even there, I was pretty sure there were solutions, just maybe not native to the runtime).
Except it has failed, twice. It’s not as though shoving it back out the door and crossing fingers isn’t potentially going to lead to more tragedy and an even worse image, plus the potential for ruinous lawsuits. Boeing is in a terrible position they created and the only way out will hurt them, but less than staying the course.
