Yeah. Terraform is the mature standard for this. To me it feels like OP isn't that familiar with large scale infra work.

This lesson will continue until we realise that the ultimate goal is the improvement of our society and that to get there we create markets which serve society.

At the moment we appear to be confused and think the goal of society is to have markets, so we regulate for the market and hope society gets an outcome.
Although I agree with you, the constitution now is largely irrelevant. For the most part, it is generally ignored by all three branches, except for when one political group can club the other with it. And once they do it, It goes largely ignored until it can be weaponized again.
ARM on the Macbook Pro would put a lot of software shops (I'm guessing tech and design firms are the main purchasers of Macs) using Docker in an awkward spot with their containers not running on dev machines.
Regarding the bandwidth, your own connection is going to be the upper bound:
"If ZMap simply probed every IPv4 address in numerical order, it would risk overloading destination networks with scan traffic and produce inconsistent results in the case of a distant transient network failure. To avoid this, ZMap scans addresses according to a random permutation of the address space."

It's all PR fluff, so it's hard to know what they want to do. Perhaps just get investment $ for the CEO.

But, cleaning air (CO2, pm 2.5, volatile particles) indoors at home is probably very important and should be done more.

Well chosen indoor plants will do it, but this could compete. If it's edible it might make people more likely to do it.

Not sure how the masses will react to removing particles that kill, then eating them though.
Somewhere in between. First patched, possibly significantly, then recompiled. Unless you have a lot of low level processing in ASM or intrinsics for simd. Then there will be a bit of rewriting.

Really? Hinkley Point C, that's why not. In the U.S., Vogtle. These are the only nuclear power plants under construction in the UK and US. They each cost over 20 billion dollars, are heavily subsidized, and are badly behind schedule and over budget. If and when they are ever completed, the energy they produce will be more expensive than unsubsidized wind and solar in their respective regions.

The article claims Apple would need to keep x86 around indefinitely for the Mac Pro - I'm just saying that makes no sense.

Apple would definitely prefer to only use its own chips, but if they're unable to, using ARM Zen from AMD makes a million times more sense than x86 Intel.

I think you may be underestimating Apple's willingness to let the Mac Pro be an ugly duckling. This is a platform that they left stagnant for years after all.

Not even in the same universe. Containers using some managed k8s (EKS, or GKE) cluster with helm is ridiculously easier to manage a dynamic sets of applications running than bare amis. I have a k8s cluster that runs across >1k ec2 instances where I have thousand of containers running various jobs. I can apply/delete any massive deployment across that literally in seconds. with a single command.

The layers make it a lot lot easier here.
> If you own a computer with the ability to send packets over TCP/IP, you're responsible for knowing what sending particular kinds of packets implies.

Yes.

>Hacking a server you don't own is handling someone's property without permission.

I meant handling in the most literal sense: manipulating something with your hands/body. Sending a message to someone/something isn't handling them/it in that sense.

> When I host a web service, I grant the public permission for very particular kinds of access to it. I do not grant the public permission to try to break into it.

Morally speaking, I do not require your permission to do something that doesn't physically involve you or your property. The only relevant physical involvements here are between you and your ISP, and me and my ISP. Anything else is abstraction.

Under your permissions idea, I can go out and say "I grant the public permission to look at my face but not to say hello to me."

Something being a thing doesn't justify it morally. Slavery is a thing, you know? Murder is a thing, etc.

> I take it you also don't take issue with people stealing the contents of vending machines, either? After all, there's no possible way to infer what the implied contract of a vending machine is! Sure, everyone with the intellectual maturity of a five year old understands that you're supposed to put money in, in exchange for its contents... But it's the owner's fault that if I happen to tilt it over a certain way, stuff comes out of it - without me putting any money in! I'm just manipulating it in a creative way!

In a world with laws that make sense, it would be necessary to explicitly define the contract, because otherwise everyone would be handling someone else's property without permission. Simply state in the contract that people have to pay $x in order to take out their goods.

If the contract says "use this machine at will and take its contents". Then yes, you can tilt it all you want, who would have thought?

Maybe you could look at the family financial situation of entrepreneurs at the time they founded a company? With that information, along with the number of families in each wealth bracket, and company revenue after N years, you can calculate what the optimal population of wealth distribution is for maximum entrepreneurialism. Not that I expect any country to pass such laws to shape their elite class distribution in this manner, but it’s a good drinking conversation.

This is the circular discussion I'm talking about. Without verification, how can you possibly come to a determination that it didn't happen? It is nothing but guesswork, so claims that it is exceedingly rare are unfounded. As I said before, verification would identify and therefore present real numbers that can be measured.

Also if we did enact ID checks, and zero fraud happened (perhaps because it preemptively prevented it all), how is that not a good outcome? Considering it went from non-zero to zero, yes that would be an improvement. What would be the loophole that introduces more voter fraud because of IDs? Can you please give me an example of this?

The comparison to other services and rights is critical to show bias and present a rational framework to tackle the problem. If the right to bear arms is not infringed by background checks, then it follows that the right to vote is not infringed by ID checks. Do you disagree with this statement?
We emit about 40 billion tons a year, so that would imply we need the entire world's electricity supply to capture 40 thousand tons.

This single tiny test plant is capturing 4 thousand tons.

The number you read is wrong by miles.

If we look at $100 a ton and guess that half of that is power at 10 cents a kWh, we would need 20 petawatt hours per year. Current world production is 25 petawatt hours per year.

I have to use both. I find google easier to do simple things.. but I find it lacks some of the flexibility AWS has for less simple things.

They did a migration like this once already for PPC -> Intel (twice if you count 68k -> PPC).
Yes, I do the same. For service roles I just use the PowerUser managed role. I don’t see the need to put access control on Amazon’s ability to call it’s own services. I only restrict my EC2 instance profile, since that’s a bit more vulnerable, and I tend to know very precisely what it should have access to.
Doesn’t that mean that a rogue device that did contain software and ignored the incoming packet might actually be trusted by the host device when it shouldn’t be? The twitter thread did say the firmware payload contained no personalization (like encryption keys, perhaps).
The Crazy V-Bat Vertical Takeoff and Landing Drone Could Be a Game Changer
There is ample research supporting the notion that rent control increases prices and gentrifies neighborhoods [1][2][3]...

The reason I believe this is economics 101. People want simple solutions to difficult problems. If prices are too high, we create laws that keep them low (so simple!). Problem is that supply is finite, even with new units being constructed cities have been unable to keep up with the influx of new residents. In many cases this is due to other similar suffocating regulations around building height, density, inability to pay out current residents for new construction etc. When supply is sparse and prices are often 50% less than market rate for long term renters, you increase their incentive to stay. That further restricts supply and prices go up for anyone not under contract. If you have an alternative theory of how this would work, I'm curious about it. What are the dynamics, beyond "prices are cheaper"? How does rent control reduce or solve a housing crisis?

>And if it does not increase supply of new construction then it is zero sum gain.

That's a hard thing to prove but I'd wager that isn't the case. Playing forward the rent control dynamic, it's likely that landlords could extract more money per unit on average than they would have in a less supply restricted market. The housing market is far from perfectly competitive without rent control. Landlords have many tools at their disposal to jack up prices beyond what the fair market value is with and without rent control. If the turnover rate is lower, those tools become easier to use. There are fewer comps and almost zero competition. That leaves a wider lane for price gouging on everything from rent to parking to laundry.

In some sense it's the contrary.. the typeclass hierarchy has a lot of idealism that won't fly in Haskell's comparatively pragmatic Prelude (DivisionRing? Really?)

They even backtracked their version of IO, that used row types to track effects - because it just wasn't worth it.
The problem lies in people using background-image as the background of fluid design elements where it acts as an illustration with semantic content. Otherwise, it's OK to use as a decorative background.

In the case of buttons, it might or might not make sense, depending on each use.

I think the problem is frameworks shoving it all in the same place because "an image is an image is an image", which they shouldn't be doing.
I really, really love fasting. It's when you starve yourself. Many people can't do it but I'm living proof that you can. It raises adrenaline and lowers cortisol so I feel just peppy through the day. And now because I went for a week without eating last month and described a mechanism, I have the honor of being a father figure to all of you in telling you that you, too, may starve, and one day achieve the health goals that I've achieved as of last month. I'm a Google engineer btw

Ok but that's a terrible definition of talent because that's not what talent is. Inherent ability is much more important than people like to admit to themselves or others. The 10,000 hours thing is also a myth.
That would be a very clunky approach to put it mildly - the explicit design intent of BufferedReader is to let you read lines without caring what the line separator is - it's a lossy transformation. You also can't subclass String. You'd be adding something very unwieldy for an edge case that is directly contrary to the purpose of the API. The 'mistake' (such as it is) of the author here is simply using the wrong API - there are shorter, more direct ways to read a file into a string without any of these contortions.

data = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filename)));
Interesting. The compilation speeds are probably not surprising, I am guessing that is mostly a function of how much faster process creation/forking is under Linux.
If one finds Netflix, video games, partying, and vacations enjoyable; and they spend time pursuing those after becoming financially independent & retiring early, are they missing the big picture?

Anyone remember the era when genuine background images were popular? Such as paper texture, greenbar paper, sparkles, and so on? Extremely geocities.

HN uses CSS background images for the vote arrows, and I've never understood why. Could it be exactly the screenreader thing?
I understood his argument as: regulation is rigid and some regulations end up pushing things towards a bad ending, because actors in the real world don't always do what regulators imagine they will do. Eg the total costs of recertifying the plane are so high that it's worth it (for the company) to roll the dice to avoid it.
That was exactly the reason I was very close to adopting Docker recently. But then I realized it was a very rare problem, in my experience. Maybe it’s because I always worked in small teams of <= 10 people, or maybe the stuff I work on tends to not cause local dev problems frequently. But I definitely see how Docker can help a lot there.
To avoid false accusations of theft, avoid self-checkout. YMMV.

I understand that people are abusing the system. I can accept that the store has an interest in loss prevention. But I'll never feel comfortable with being checked up on. As a stubborn person, I'll have to start shopping somewhere else when this happens. This means a less convenient location. Where's the time savings in that?

Many here bring their politically charged economic analysis into it. For me I've always wanted to just get home without any undue awkward/impolite scenarios. Nor do I want to navigate the menu system for produce.

Waiting in a longer line is relatively cheap for the peace of mind gained.

The disadvantages I’m highlighting are about the restrictions of the Lambda abstraction.

What if you want to send telemetry to a third party? Or use a cache? Or deploy something bigger than 250MB? Or handle WebSockets (without having to read/write state in DDB on every message)? Or buffer something on the filesystem? Or run something for more than 15 mins? etc etc.

How do all those things not impact agility? (In the web app/service space at least.)

Apple would like to be less reliant on both Qualcomm (radio/modem) and Intel (CPU). Qualcomm is ahead on 5G and Intel was behind on 5G and 10nm. Apple needs TSMC's 5nm performance-per-watt for AR glasses and moving MacOS from x86 to Arm, and it carries keyboard debt into the post-Ive era.

https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/my-new-meditation-app-ma...
Some studies have shown that mindfulness helps, but is it the actual "mindfulness" or is it the pause from life that helps? The alternative should not be to do nothing, but to for example take a slow walk or a nice shower. I'd bet that taking a walk would actually provide more benefits than meditation and mindfulness since it is coupled with exercise. Personally I have gotten nothing from mindfulness and meditation, however I do walk for about an hour a day and in general spend a lot of time without a goal.
One of the things most interesting to me about the mechanism is that it devotes a lot of gears and hardware to making small corrections which get completely overwhelmed by the inaccuracy of the manufacturing.
Sometimes Terraform even supports new feature earlier than CF. It seems a separate team inside AWS to work on CF.

My perspective is shaped by my experience developing and maintaining mostly monolithic apps on fleets of servers. I never had the problem of having to manage dozens/hundreds of independently deployable jobs/services. And I hope I never will :) I can see how K8 can be super useful there, but it’s a situation I try to avoid :)

No they are not. I was buying in my local Tesco in Hungary the other day and they've removed almost all human cashiers and on that day only self-checkouts were working so I had no choice. And as for speed - I had to call operator three times because of measuring error and after the checkout had to go to another operator to remove that beeper things from the T-shirts I bought. The process was definitely much slower than with cashier. I will not be buying there anytime soon.
Don't be discouraged by the docker love in tech right now. I'm not saying it's a fad (it's basically critical for local dev these days), but nothing will replace the joy of simplicity and empowerment of working with the Linux virtual machine directly instead of through endless PaaS or compose or k8s abstractions.

Curious, what does "maintenance" mean for you?
I still remember the web when I got my first modem. What the ads changed is the amount of various clickbaits, useless sites, sites "for fun", garbage of the internet. All this would be gone without ad revenue, there wouldnt be any sustainable bussiness model for them.

Regarding usability of ads, in 20 years I never bought anything shown. When I need something I search for relevant product solving my need and I buy it. And trying very hard to avoid fake reviews. If your product type showed on ads is what I need, I will still do my best to check the market and find best product type for me with lowest price I can get. Which is typically not what is shown on ad. At the end they dont change anything for me.

Now the question is - would internet without ads really be that bad?

If I'm preoccupied with something else or I can't eat while I have that feeling then after a while it just goes away.
