At my billing rate "15 days straight" is approximately equal to a low end BMW. So I think tabdo/bufdo will have to do for now. At least until I get a salaried job and can learn the rest at my employer's expense.

I do think there's Pareto principle at play with all this obscure stuff. Knowing 20% gets you 80% of the benefit, every additional percent gets you exponentially smaller fraction of the remaining 20%. That's how I play it anyway. I don't feel like I'm any less productive with my 20%.
In the current method, possible access risk is staggered, such that you only have access to some accounts, for some days.

In your method, you have access to all or none, for some days.

Staggered seems preferable.

You could well be right, but the article is about a global trend, car sales in the US by contrast seem to be stable in the last few years, perhaps for these kind of reasons. There are a lot of places in the developed world that have a different context from the US in terms of car culture or healthcare costs.

I’m not sure what’s actually creating the 3% drop, though, the evidence in the article for a lifestyle shift seems to be relatively weak outside of the charts they give for the EU.
there is not such operation as "minus". there is "plus" negative. plus is commutative.
Heath impacts are literally the first thing mentioned. “probably nothing; certainly nothing obvious and immediate“

A grain of sand is extremely tiny and solid so it’s also got a very low surface area. Further, if it was suck in your lung you would get significant radiation to the same tissue, but in your digestive system food would act as a barrier while also pushing things along.

From a regulatory framework it’s enough to detect and be concerned about which is interesting.
Just this year an issue in us-east-1 caused the console to fail pretty globally.
> I imagine if the drivetrain lasted longer, interiors could be engineered to fit.

I doubt it is possible to get it to more than 15 years. People do all kinds of stuff with and in their cars, especially if there are kids and/or pets involved. Vomit, feces, spilled food/drinks, cigarette smoke, scratches and dents from transported stuff, animal claws, the list of things that can damage a car is pretty much endless.
I don't use social media, but I do sometimes wonder whether my iPhone has a net negative impact on my life. Has anyone tried downsizing to a flip phone for a few months to compare?
Slack does this exceptionally well. If you forget which accounts you have, you can put in an email address and it will email you a list of your Slack accounts. If you forget your password, you can get a magic link that automatically signs in through a deep link into the app, no password needed.
The availability of CreateBucket shouldnt effect the availability of customers apps. This tends to be true anyway because of the low default limit of buckets per account (if your service creates buckets as part of normal operation it will run out pretty quickly).

The difference with Google Cloud is a lot of the core functionality (networking, storage) is multi region and consistent. The only thing thats a bit like that in AWS is IAM, however IAM is eventually consistent.
Just to add a bit on this. The (U.S) Bill of Rights applies to any person on U.S. soil. (That is a common misconception apparently but like many modern constitutions it refers to persons and not citizens). There is the gray area surrounding around the periphery of the U.S. and borders (https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone)
(Essentially the U.S. government reasons that the area surrounding the border is U.S. soil for CBP, and not U.S. soil for anyone else.)
I think part of it is that a lot of people just don't know the history or the uses of radiation.

For example the history we wanted to find when other nations were testing weapons. We didn't have satellites (or many) so we had to detect from beyond borders. But radiation doesn't travel very far. Solution? REALLY REALLY sensitive detectors.

Most people also don't know uses for radiation outside cancer therapy. I'd bet you most people don't understand that a PET, CAT, or CT scan is radiation. Let alone that we irradiate food to make it safer. I doubt people know how regulated anything dealing with radiation is, or how many factors of safety are added.
Quoting https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html

"Some services, such as IAM, do not support Regions; therefore, their endpoints do not include a Region."

There was a partial outage maybe a month and a half ago where our typical AWS Console links didn't work but another region did. My understanding is that if that outage were in us-east-1 then making changes to IAM roles wouldn't have worked.
No. If you wanna get technical about it GPL is structured around ensuring every user can see and modify the code, and do whatever they want with it, except prevent people from doing the first thing (seeing and modifying the code). It's sort of a vacuously false thing where "provided they meet some kind of criteria you set up" has the criteria of ensuring the original clause of "a set of licenses that allow users to see and modify your source code".
> while forgetting about the people ...

You might be reading the comment slightly sideways. My read was that the people you list are from small businesses creating value, and most of the tech workers are creating very little value with a few peakers who do amazing things.

> Without the drivers, Uber does not exist.

Personal bugbear, there is as yet no evidence that Uber is creating more value than it destroys. It has a pretty basic business model, trivial positive externalities and is making loss. It looks like it is slow-burning value until someone goes broke.

Uber could be cited as evidence in favour of the idea that most people don't by default know how to create value.

That might be the core disagreement here. There are a lot of people doing activities that are useful. I struggle to think of them as value creators because what they are actually doing is whatever someone tells them - there is a lack of agency in deciding what they do, so I have difficulty attributing outcomes to them. They are fungible, but the people telling them what to do are not. If you tell them to do something stupid, they will do it (as seen with Uber).

Not a comment on personal worth; economic value isn't everything. But the people who make decisions are just more important than laborers. Small businesspeople in particular are a backbone of society in a way that most workers really are not.
Is a construction company right in suing a cafe over the word cat?
Even if that natural decline in security was significant, it wouldn't be as significant as the insecurity introduced by forcing the user to change it.
Multi/hybrid means you use both self managed and AWS datacenters.
I think the social hierarchy thing is less about being on top and more about being a fundamentally important character in a larger story. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that theoretically there's some arrangement in which everyone could feel as though they're exactly where they should be, and are playing exactly the role they should within that story. Not a supporting role, or a subservient role, but a role which was really THEM. People don't want to be a pawn in somebody else's game in order to be respected.

How exactly you get there is totally beyond me, and I'm not entirely sure how to articulate what I mean by "story". But I think you lose something when you give up on trying to engineer stories with happy endings. I don't think you can really live your life fully unless you have some sort of hope for the future.
Anybody used or have opinions about AssemblyScript?

https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript

>AssemblyScript compiles strictly typed TypeScript (basically JavaScript with types) to WebAssembly using Binaryen. It generates lean and mean WebAssembly modules while being just an npm install away.

https://dev.to/jtenner/an-assemblyscript-primer-for-typescri...

Here's a great example of a project that uses it:

https://github.com/torch2424/wasmboy

>️Gameboy Emulator Library written in Web Assembly using AssemblyScript, Debugger/Shell in Preact ️

Here's an excellent talk about wasmboy by the author, Aaron Turner -- he's done some really outstanding work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlL1nduatZQ

Since you can compile AssemblyScript into JavaScript with the TypeScript compiler as well as into WebAssembly, you can compare the speed of JavaScript -vs- WebAssembly on the same source code. Aaron did some interesting benchmarks using wasmboy, in the great tradition of using GameBoy emulators to benchmark JavaScript engines:

in Ghana, how well are property laws enforced? Is there violence against farmers, like there is in South Africa? Article does not touch on this, but could be another reason why people choose not to farm.
> how can you know what happens when you call it?

Documentation, good API design. Real-world example of a function I call pretty often (which I’m also interested in knowing your better alternative to):

const extend = (dest, from) => {
for (const x of from) {
dest.push(x);
}
};

It doesn’t return anything, so I’d say it’s pretty clear its entire purpose is to mutate one argument.

(Non-stack-overflowing version of dest.push(...x), by the way.)

I often thought of switching from a Galaxy to a BlackBerry just to have a physical keyboard back with a smaller screen.
> Why on earth do you say such things? Like, seriously, what's the point of saying something so easily refuted? Is this just to be inflammatory for the sake of it?

I imagine your reply came from a good place and you're genuinely trying to improve the knowledge out here, but I just want to take a moment to address something that comes up often: this tone is very combative and it makes it incredibly hard for someone to yield and turn to you. What is OP supposed to say to this? "Oh I guess you're right. Thanks for taking my pride and putting me down. I see your point now." -- this is not how people work.

Or, from another angle: you can usually tell a sarcastic question is off, if the honest answer is readily found, and defensible. In this case: OP said such things because they thought it was true. The point was to share information with someone else and contribute to a conversation.

If you think they're wrong, there's more productive ways of getting that point across than calling into question good faith.

For the record: I thought it as well, so there were at least two of us, out here ;) and now after Googling, and judicial rabbitholes far beyond my expertise I still can't tell whether it's limited geographically or also meant to apply world-wide, or how I was meant to know, to avoid getting told off for being toxic if I ever daresay something else about it...
Golang Gets Cheaper Context Switching
They were convicted of more than just that crime, first of all. Second, I don’t think there is any indication the police fabricated evidence here. I think confessions are weaker evidence than we assume, and should be treated with more suspicion. I think the police and prosecution pursued a case while ignoring the inconsistencies in the confessions. But there is no indication that anyone manufactured evidence or tried to frame these young men.

And that’s my point in the sibling comment. If you think criminal justice reform can be achieved by hiring people who won’t fabricate evidence against totally innocent people, I’m sorry you’re going to be disappointed by how much deeper the challenges run.
I have a different out take. I try to always be happy, choose it, it’s an attitude. Let the little things make you happy. A joke amount friends, a smile, A tasty ice cream cone, whatever, “live in the moment”

But never be satisfied, always strive for a little more. That’s human nature. The trick is to strive for growth, and it doesn’t have to be for material things. Strive to lean more, to grow your career, to save up or budget for that thing you want, or to travel to that place. Never stop exploring. That’s the key. You gotta channel that strive for something that won’t leave u empty when u get there, and realize that voice is always gonna be in the back of your head saying, “well now what do I want”
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about and spreading lies. Please stop this.
I'm sorry, but what terrorist is going to say "Damn, they check for terrorists? I guess I won't apply." I don't think you even need the context of America's presence in the Middle East to figure out that terrorism is illegal. It isn't like it is only illegal in America. Same for things like human trafficking.

I can see that with the "have you ever done drugs" question, but terrorism or human trafficking? That's quite a stretch. You don't have to ask the question for someone to know that those activities would bar entry. I'd have to see pretty strong evidence to believe that a question like that is going to even give pause to people like that.
I have had the (dis)pleasure of learning PowerShell pretty well in the last few months and from that experience I believe forcing different things into the same model doesn't really work. When I read something like "New-Item" I have to take another look and see what it really deals with. Maybe some people think it's "elegant" but I don't agree. It's not like everything that's returned by "New-Item" behaves the same way. .NET is doing it better with static methods like "File.xxxxx" and "Directory.xxxx". You know immediately what you are dealing with.
Yet the middle class in the US is far wealthier than most countries’ middle class.
> Let's just ignore that the US is still running torture black-sites to this day and droning people...

For context.

Estimated number of people at CIA black sites: < 1000

Estimated total number of deaths from drone strikes, 2001-2014: 2,900 (numbers past 2014 are less clear)

Number killed in Tiananmen Square in 1989: ~2600

Number of Uyghurs living in China: 11.3 M

Number of Tibetans living in China: 6.3 M

> A cynic could now try to measure the bad vs the worse, but the reality remains that both are committing crimes against humanity on a regular basis and both justify them in exactly the same ways.

I would call someone who draws a distinction between bad and worse a realist.
This is a ridiculous argument. There is a huge demand for people to immigrate to the US and it has every right to screen people looking for visa’s however it wants.
What's in a Name? The Avocado Story (2006)
>See the progress on self-driving vehicles.

Self-driving vehicles are complete hype - so far from a reality it's ridiculous that people here still seem so bullish on them.

Please show me a single vehicle that is anywhere close to being able to drive unassisted in all weather conditions and on any roads that a human would drive.
Quillette? Then people say you are "alt-right", although they are considerably more nuanced than most outlets.
Sorry, having good intentions means nothing when you’re spreading falsehoods that could easily be checked with a quick google search.

The one thing I appreciated about HN is the signal to noise ratio. Plenty of comments are actually insightful, but the one in question is just noise.
Files are too finite, low-level and lose generate/parsing knowledge that is implemented N times in N places. OSes should read and write message-oriented streams of records (pb, capnp or similar.) that are invisible to the user, while tools and code see data and data structures. This solves many problems of unnecessary and repeated effort parsing log files, log file rotation, proprietary file formats, portability, compatibility and extensibility.

Also, programs should be able to dynamically-serve the contents of "files" as well with an "activation symlink", i.e.,

/etc/resolv ->* resolvconf

The "the everything must be plain text" refrain is obsolete and unnecessary because it's trivial to serialize anything to any format since it would already be an universally-supported data structure both in tools and code.

It's not 1978 anymore.
California Snowpack 202% of Average for This Time of Year
They shouldn’t, per se. But if they’re not going to be good citizens by contributing back to the project they’re profiting off of, while simultaneously attacking and undermining the ability of the project to fund itself, that’s a massive Free Rider problem that in the long run ends in the loss of a lot of important Open Source projects.

We can attempt to solve this free rider problem, or we can shrug our shoulders and decide we’re just comfortable with a world with a lot of dead Open Source projects and a lot more proprietary software. But “the current situation is fine and sustainable” is head-in-sand thinking. This Bad Citizen behaviour is an existential threat to the long term prospects of Open Source.
"California water officials say the amount of snow blanketing the Sierra Nevada is even bigger than the 2017 snowpack that pulled the state out of a five-year drought."

Huh. Nice to hear.
50 years? It's replacing the suspension parts and rust that writes off 15 year old cars as uneconomic repairs. I don't see that being electric car changes that.
That's why they tend to talk about Sudden Unexpected Infant Death these days.

My understanding is that the primary concern is the ability of the child to breathe normally. Anything which restricts that ability can be life threatening.

Having their face covered (very easy to do when they sleep between two adults who pull the covers up when they're cold) or pushing their face up against a non-breathable material (windproof bassinets, pillows, soft toys) leads to a lack of air circulation which can lead to CO2 buildup. This is particularly a problem when their muscles aren't strong enough to turn their head or roll over.
On the contrary, this is terrible for gaming.

Might get some support for Linux, but if you can only stream them, then the benefits are moot.

We'd be better off as customers not having Google's shitty streaming service entirely.
PowerShell's problem is it's so goddamn wordy and poorly documented. It reminds me of AppleScript, but far worse.
I've also heard similar from a teammate who previously worked with GCP. That said I know several folks who work for GCP and they are expending significant resources to improve the product and add features.
https://lichess.org/password/reset is a fun example.
Was noticing massive issues earlier and thought that maybe my account was blocked due to breaching from TOS as I was heavily playing with Cloud Run. Then I noticed gitlab was also acting up but my Chinese internet was still surprisingly responsive. Tried the status page which said everything was fine and searched Twitter for "google cloud" and also found nobody talking about it. Typically Twitter is the single source of truth for service outages as people start talking about it
Get a hunting licence and you can do that.
A group of owners in the Netherlands have been tracking their electric cars and found that after 160,000 miles, the degradation is at only 10% [0]. The trend lines forecast the life span to over 400,000 miles.

The CEO of the maker of those cars claims (unsubstantiated at this time) that his company's battery technology will be capable of 1,000,000 miles[1]. TBD, but if true, changes the game for the auto industry in an additional vector.

To be honest - that's sort of off the beaten path (speaking for a lot of Americans).

From the SE asian island-ish countries, I can think the ordering of "who goes where" would look something like this - Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Phillippines, Malaysia - just based on country marketing + anecdotal conversations alone.

This is coming from someone who was nomad-ing around for 2 1/2 years too.
And don't get me started on the stupid fact that you cannot renew your US visa within the US, and in the end people on student/work visas have to take the pointless trip to Canada/Mexico just to get a new visa.

That’s a feature, not a bug. You don’t have to kick people out if they can’t renew, you just don’t let them back in.
You can download a database from haveibeenpwned of SHA-1s of all the passwords, which is the only way you should be checking user passwords against an external database. It's also a good way!
Actually, I imagine that if you could go multi-regional then your self-managed solution may be directly competitive in terms of uptime. The idea that in-house can't be multi-regional is a bit old fashioned in 2019.
I had a really hard time with the title displayed here, which is a truncated version of an already-confusing title on Quora. The actual title, with, I think, desireable punctuation included, is "If I ingest[ed] a grain-of-sand-size piece of the Chernobyl Reactor No. 4 core, what would happen to my body?"
>Research actually suggests that memorable experiences do yield sustained happiness

I agree with this. I have pictures from our holidays as a screensaver, and I feel a small happiness bump when I see them and think about the experiences.
Even if it were true, it doesn't produce extra CO2.
That still seems quite reasonable vs where I live in the Seattle area. Well, put gasoline costs are much cheaper, and we probably do t pay for parking as often, but otherwise I was expecting Australia to be a lot more expensive like Europe is.
Yes, that is my argument.
Those just cover the gov’ts ass.

Of course no one will answer yes, but if the govt finds out later you did commit a terrorist act, they have the power to boot you out.

Does reading fiction make us better people?
Those are not the words of someone who intends to stay together.

Relationships are not automatic. They require stubborn commitment. If you are planning for an exit, you're going to get one. It is certain that there will be conflict, and you're ready to hit the eject button at the first sign of it. Infatuation does not last, and is thus not a suitable foundation for a mature relationship. Responsible people of integrity do not plan to abandon their commitments.

You plan for divorce from day 1, you unsurprisingly get one, and then you can justify your planning because it happened. This is circular.

I dearly hope you are at least honest about your intentions, and that you pair up with people who are like yourself, and that you have permanent birth control. Anything else would be extremely cruel and selfish. I suspect you're leaving a trail of shattered lives, broken homes, uprooted yet spoiled children, and suicidal exes.

How often does amazon or google go down for ten minutes?

But let's work backwards from the goal instead.

If you charge twice as much, and then 20-30% of months are refunded by the SLA, you make more money and you have a much stronger motivation to spend some of that cash on luxurious safety margins and double-extra redundancy.

So what thresholds would get us to that level of refunding?
Definitely. A previous small company I worked in had some S3 Snafu and AWS Support was super helpful.
