I don't get this. There's a reason why they make AstroTurf green. If you're Amazon and you're trying to generate realistic good buzz about your work conditions don't name the accounts "AmazonDrone643278" or similar.
If you can understand Lambda, ECS, and CF you can understand Kubernetes. The problem with Kubernetes is not that it’s hard, it’s that Kubernetes lexicon is new and people are still learning it.

Now that I’m knee deep in the world of Kubernetes I actually find it easier to use and run. CF is an absolute abomination in comparison. God help you if you need to rollback in CF or debug something. I have none of those problems in Kubernetes.

Kubeless is a lambda replacement that is easy to setup and run. Apache Openwhisk is another alternative.

Why would I ever want to lock my company down to a specific vendor and their tooling when I don’t have to? Eventually cloud providers will need to contend with the idea that most of the stuff they’re doing will be replicated in Kubernetes. Kubeless and projects like Cert-Manger are perfect examples.
This is exactly what I’d say if I was trying to make myself feel better about a messed-up status quo.
It disables itself when you install another AV.

The reason they make it hard to remove is (1) otherwise malware could easily disable it and (2) must people should not be trusted with such decision anyway.

Also, have you ever tried to remove Norton AV??
I miss disk jockeys. The ones who were knowledgeable about music, played B sides, and had some personality were gems. I found a station (KSLG) in northern California that still does this.

I like Spotify and there's a place for it. But I wouldn't call it fun. Listening to a good DJ was fun and sometimes informative.
I don't know if there ever was.. The old advice of 'Be sensible and don't open stupid files or visit stupid websites or follow phishing links' should solve most potential problems.
I am all for dumb appliances over the current crop of "smart" appliances, but one feature I would LOVE would be some kind of sensor log of my refrigerator! This would help to know if the power went off while I was gone - did the temperature rise too much? That is all I need...

The same would apply to other appliances and HVAC, just simple data to know everything is working correctly.
You could just buy a monitor.

Not sure if that would meet your requirements? But it sounds like it would. Just might be a bit more pricey depending on features.
In UK number plates I and 1 are the same character, as are O and 0:

https://www.dafont.com/uk-number-plate.font?text=O0I1l

Number plates existed for decades before ASCII was invented. Before computers, people often used mechanical typewriters which didn't have keys for 0 and 1: you typed 0 as O and 1 as l. I threw away one such typewriter recently. It was in good working condition, with its instruction manual. It had been made in a country that no longer exists. You may imagine how sad and nostalgic I felt.
I find it difficult to distinguish between people with legitimate complaints and people who are ideologically opposed to amazon (BigCo) existing at all.
Haha. It's a really naive attitude.
The moment you have to deal with "average users" posting support issues as they'll be drawn to flies to your "free AV". You'll be either wanting to (a) kill yourself (b) charge everyone and remove the free download
Yes, and you can easily verify it by clicking on any of the tweets by any of the @AmazonFC* accounts.

Isn't Xamarin the IDE and cross-compiler? Last I saw, it took C# and cross-compiled to native Android and iOS apps.

Or had a .net runtime that ran on both.

Regardless, you need a C# developer if you're choosing Xamarin as your tooling.
"We have mixed feelings about this."

No need.

Anyone choosing to mix and match also has the resources for some minor duplication of effort.

Or they could just do it all service side.
Joke is, Symantec Endpoint Protection is actually incredibly easy to deal with.

The consumer AV (Norton)? Hah, the thing is meant to trick/convince/harass you to keep paying up and make it difficult.
Security experts, ladies and gentlemen...
The Dignity of Risk
My experience being in a union tells me it's not.

But unions literally are (within the law) whatever their members decide they will be, so if you expect that of your potential union, it just means you expect it of your coworkers.
Your "Muslims are being shown their place" has no basis. Why there is no lockdown in Kerala and UP which have a good percentage of Muslim population? Curfew and communication is often enforced at other places as well, especially the ones where riots have happened for some reason.
The evidence came a bit further down with one commenter posting a picture of one being male in one post and female in another.
This is more about not finding enough developers for mobile C++, not much because of any sharing of code.

A single platform application with a C++ back-end would have the same issues.
The mind is the layer that we use to make sense of the world, it is designed to see outside because of the way the world works, but it is difficult to see inside.

Every concept that we can come up with is articulated in terms of concepts that have been stored in the minds memory (inference) the funny thing is that we are born with almost empty minds as we grow older it starts to feel up to the point where we cant even think without using language which is also not inborn but is acquired here on earth through the mind.

The problem is to see behind this layer. If we observe the mind through the mind we only see that it is a mechanism for storage, processing and inference of the stored data. Learning is simply finding new inferences between data or acquiring new data from the senses that are connected to the mind.

But as humans we are biologically limited, our senses can not even pick up everything this already implies that the what we know through the mind will always be limited (unless if you believe in evolution and that our senses will evolve).

Meditation does this with a sort of denial of the knowledge that we acquired through the mind (closely related to the nature of the ego) that is why highly spiritual people often say perceived reality is an illusion, and to some a deity is a way to see outside of the box.

AI is trying to simulate the mind with what we know about it through it.

I also feel like this is what the incompleteness theorem is about, we have some sort of axioms of Intelligence that we got through the mind but these finite axioms can not proof all the dynamics of Intelligence.
Times change. When I was an undergrad in the 1980s (in the US) my professors would post the results of exams on their office doors labeled by social security number (for "privacy"). Nobody at the time saw a problem with it, although we would today.
A thesis in the referenced article is that the Actor model formalizes digital computation.
I think the REAL story was something like this:

(1) TLA guy had TLA developed malware on his laptop

(2) Kaspersky recognized possible malware and uploaded it to their system for further analysis.

(3) TLA from another country has hacked Kaspersky system and alerts Americans that their malware is out.

(4) TLA tries to hide their incompetence by accusing Kaspersky of working with FSB to hack US computers.

I'm with the Russians on this one.
Modern video game development is anything but simple.
Would you expound on this a little and perhaps mention some brands? I also have issues following discussions in those kinds of environments. I can hear the people talking, but it blends into the background noise and becomes very difficult to isolate the actual words.
a capacitor to power the microcontroller for a few milliseconds?

actually, if the goal is to detect a reset operation by unscrewing: while unscrewing and shortly after the circuit is open, the previously contacting electrodes are still close by, such that it can be powered capacitively while it realizes it is being reset... this is probably noticable by measuring the change in complex impedance
I was going to post this too. I ran into this a year or so ago and now always put $null on the left of a comparison.
The greatest difficulty with code is not in writing it but in reading it.
We were all C# Developers.

Xamarin is both yes, though it really integrates into Visual Studio so its more of a tool? I am not sure, definitions like that are a bit murky.
Israel is very powerful and ambitious for its size, but at 8 million people they're fundamentally limited in what kind of power they can or would want to project. No matter how advanced your intelligence or military there's just so far you can go when you're so tiny.

China on the other hand has almost 8 million people for every country on Earth. Imagine how many people they could assign to messing with each country around the world if they wanted to.

These are totally different players.

Yes, all of that "evidence" from paid "Amazon FC ambassadors".
I have a CI/CD driven AWS Blueprint for Fargate - with a bunch of other production grade best practices built in. Should get you up and running in under an hour (much less if your experienced with AWS). https://github.com/rynop/aws-blueprint
The point is that you could train AI to perform well at IQ tests but it doesn't mean that it demonstrated actual intelligence.
As one of the last bastions of free people in the world, we have a strong ethical and moral obligation to help these freedom fighters. Taking no action or even worse, barring them entry is tantamount to murder. We need to be courageous and do the right thing and evacuate Hong Kong.

Sounds very bold.

I'm assuming the author made a similar plea in regard to the refugee crisis in Syria - yes?
Use Deep Learning to Clone Yourself as a Chatbot
Also, light bulbs are only powered on when they are installed, oftentimes in inaccessible locations which can get pretty hot! A reset power cycle is hopefully an annoyance you only deal with once or twice.

Instead of a simple 8/2 second cycle they should tell the user "play the song 'Tubthumping' and turn the light off when you get knocked down, and turn the light on when you get up again!"
Maybe not the ones you're used to but Amazon is a tech company at heart. They have the resources to improve on the algorithms. I'd love to meet the engineer responsible for this.
Yes. The Heroku developer is still fantastic and pretty unique, and hasn’t been replicated (yet). If Heroku intends to maintain the lead, it’ll have to keep moving - the new offerings like Kafka and Redis before a pretty good - providing S3, SNS and SQS as addons would also be pretty great - right now one still needs to drop into AWS for these services.

Heroku also really needs to wake up to the world outside the US and Europe. Just enabling the other regions (for general use, not the super expensive private spaces) would be a step on the right direction.
Fargate is a very useful service for anyone hopping on the serverless/lambda train.

Here's a simple use case: say you have a simple banking website with a frontend and an API and whatever. People log in and check their balances, etc. Typically, this requires requests that take on the order of milliseconds, so lambda works for this [0]. However, every month, you want to go in and calculate what you owe in interest for everyone's account. Say that you have 100,000 users and it takes 0.01 seconds to do each calculation, so this job will take 1,000 seconds, or 16 minutes to run. Lambda functions are automatically killed after 15 seconds, so that won't work.

That's where Fargate comes in. You dockerize your environment and then run a command in Fargate. Now, it runs for 16 minutes for the task itself + 1 or 2 minutes to wind up and then it automatically kills itself when it's done. You pay for the 16 minutes of run time and call it a day.

[0] One issue with lambda/serverless is dealing with cold starts when your application hasn't been used in a while, or you need more concurrent instances running, so it takes some time to "warm up". This is a good reason not to use serverless frameworks in many cases, but I won't get into that.
Reminds me of the scene in the Matrix where Neo is fighting Smith and more and more of them came into the fight. I actually read it and it's really creepy. How did they all know this discussion was going on. They really all have 0 followers and are actually following very few people.
Elsewhere in this discussion says that these FC Ambassadors are using Sprinklr app.

I'd guess that Rafael didn't log out of the app (or the nana forgot to do that).
That doesn't sound as bad as Pandora for me - I used to like it until Pandora kept playing Björk songs over and over and over, no matter how much I downvoted them!
This got me thinking: may be the right (low resource-high performance) way to do multi-platform software nowadays is to use a game engine instead of Electron.
Air resistance goes by surface area, weight goes by volume. Terminal velocity depends on ratio of those two. And thats what matters on long falls.

The rule of thumb I heard is that a hamster survives, human dies and an elephant goes splat.
Our robot overlords will not be pleased to hear that you are still hanging onto the lizard overlords. Just saying...
Yes, there is. The "computation" of the actor (really, actor-collaborator) relies on something that can reliably emit a `stop` after an arbitrary number of `go`s. Please show that something can actually do that, and I'll show you a TM that can do the same. It's easy to describe non-computable behaviors; the difficulty is demonstrating that there are actual physical systems that can carry them out.
TV business has gotten so competitive the margins are incredibly thin.

Manufacturers want larger margins for their shareholders.

Manufacturers see the data whoring, privacy violating business.

Manufacturers put in "smart" oses into TVs so they can begin recording what you are watching, saying (they have mics and you agree to the TOS they cna record your living room!) or even doing so they can whore out for more profit than they made on you buying the tv.
I saw the movie with a friend who had never read the book nor seen the miniseries and he couldn't really follow it. I could (barely) from my experience from the book and series. Two hours is just too short to convey such a complex story.
Our Incident Postmortem Template
My guess would be that it would be because the member is trying to cut an individual deal on a group problem. This is how the capitalist class practices divide and conquer.
Right now that really isn't a risk as very few people do this, so it would be a waste of time for a hacker to try this over testing relative's names.
A clever redirect, @rulesObeyer!
Because the market is actually pretty small for expensive thermostats. I bought the original version of the Nest thermostat because I wanted to remotely control it via my phone. Most of the smart features are horrible, the AI is dumb, and the fact that controlling it depends on a server that may be EOL'd scares me.

Most thermostats are in the neighborhood of $25-$50, so $250 for a thermostat that offers marginal utility is a hard sell.
Why does everyone see the early internet as some beautiful and clean time in which all websites were philanthropic? I remember the early internet as a cesspool of bad porn websites and a zillion different scams. There was a few semi useful tools like Yahoo and MapQuest, and a few interesting but poorly build personal sites. If you weren't extremely savvy though, your computer was nearly guaranteed to get malware.

Our internet today is enormously more useful - Gmail, Google Maps, Facebook, a highly evolved tool for almost anything you want to do, strong search engines, strong protections to help prevent users from getting malware, free photo and video storage, and rapidly improving infrastructure.
Towards Explainable AI Planning as a Service
That's actually a more fitting comparison. When Starfleet talks to the Borg, it's a singular voice coming from the general direction of the Borg ship. But when Rick talks to Unity, she uses one person at a time to talk, switching seamlessly between people as Rick walks around.
I think there's a higher chance these as Amazon Mechanical Turk workers rotating behind the same Twitter accounts.

Anyone remember that "virtual boyfriend" service that had rotating people behind the "virtual boyfriend" for the same person? It feels like that.
It's not the same, (as far as I know) they don't make monitors that have the specs of TVs at the same price point.
Ask HN: Is there a project based book or course on Go for writing web APIs?
I am in the process of learning go and i think something like Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial would fit nicely for me right now. I've looked at usegolang.com but i am not sure it has emphasis on API's. Any suggestions?
The original BBC mini-series is a must watch. For me is the best of all of his material turned to a motion picture. Followed by the “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold”.
Ruby has that.

x += 1 if !condition

Better as

I use them not as an afterthought but by design. This is the Ruby Style Guide about it https://rubystyle.guide/#if-as-a-modifier
> this is exactly the type of thoughtfulness, design, engineering and research that justifies the price difference in something like a Mercedes

I don't know. I get into a Mercedes, and it all just feels so unintuitive to me. Not to mention cheap, like everything I touch is going to break off in my hand. And don't even get me started on the touchscreen that looks like it was taped to the dash as an afterthought.

I'll stick with my Acuras. I find them to be just as innovative and much more cost effective.

Your solution is to make laypeople unscrew the bulb with the socket still live, while increasing the cost of each bulb by a lot?
Yeah, seems about right for a tutorial. In real life things are never as simple or well suited to the underlying technology so it's lots of painful little missteps until you get it "just right" for your use case and the strange rules you're subject do because of your organization.

Yes, I generally will read about a service, then click around the GUI to make "something". Then I'll put something in terraform (roles, needed buckets, images) and then try to make it go. As someone else said, a diagram with a quick-starter implementation would go far in getting people interested.
I'm so glad somebody else thinks this! I've always hated that style of notation.
Sarah Silverman is possibly one of the least funny people ever. perhaps the producers of her new show realize that now and are using this as an excuse to get out of the contract.

Patch Workflow with Mutt – 2019
It truly depends on the context. Can this type of siloization be detrimental to quick fixes? Absolutely. But are quick one-off sweep-under-the-rug fixes the best thing for less-vocal workers if there is a likelihood that similar problems may be occurring for them? The devil is in the details, and suing a member would hopefully be a last resort in case of a member knowingly stepping on the heads of others. Now, I’m not naive enough to think that all unions are rationally run. But having an environment that is hostile to them on principle doesn’t help.
Enter the right wing "populists".

Why do you think that these folks are so upset about immigration from Latin America and Asia? The old way was to exploit cheap immigrant labor... but after many years, you now have a situation where that immigrant labor is disrupting the status quo.

This has happened before. The same type language directed at Mexican and central american laborers was directed at Irish, Italian, Greek, Chinese and Jewish immigrants in the 19th century. Race, religion, supposed immorality, the same shit. See the Page Act, Chinese Exclusion Act and "Know Nothing Party".
You should replace the smoke detector after 10 years anyway so buying the disposable ones is probably safer.
That is exactly it, except sometimes you're editing or copy-pastaing JSON instead of YAML.

I've often assumed that no one's KPIs are tied to making things more usable or docs more readable, and everyone's KPIs are tied to shipping new features.
