I'd suggest starting with just scripts, e.g. Bash, PowerShell, anything – that's assuming you have automated builds for both your web app and its components first. (So, automate builds of your app and all of its components first if you don't already have that.)

Pick one cloud provider first and write some setup scripts, i.e. scripts to build an initial (minimal) environment, 'from scratch', for your app and its components, e.g. create a new EC2 instance for the web app, upload your build package to it, etc.. Write the scripts so that any 'secrets', e.g. your AWS API key, are provided as either environment variables or regular command line arguments.

Then, still for the first cloud provider, write some update scripts, i.e. scripts to update your web app and its components.

Assuming your app, or its deployed 'instances', are relatively small and intended to serve a modest load, I'd suggest starting out treating the cloud servers or services as 'pets', i.e. entities you distinguish by name and for which you would be 'sad' if they 'died' (crashed or shutdown). At larger scales, it's often worth treating servers as 'cattle', i.e. a mass of nameless entities, but you probably won't need that at this point or anytime soon. (You'll know better tho.)

As for "containerization and other fancy, related tools that I've been reading on HN in the past couple of years", they're just like any other software – tools that can be used but aren't ever strictly necessary.

Containers are, basically, virtualized OSes, and they can be (very) useful. In my opinion, they're most useful as a way to bundle components of an app with an OS (and other OS components). That you can run those containers in different environments and be reasonably assured they're (mostly) identical can be a big benefit. But there are associated costs too (as with anything)! But if your app and all of its components can comfortably fit on a single (virtual) server, the cost of any changes you need to make to your app to run inside them are probably not worth the (currently) modest benefits.

And all of the other "fancy ... tools" are generally even more a matter of tradeoffs you'll need to make. Once your app, or (production) instances of it, are distributed over several, or many, servers, and you start adding things like load balancers, caching, separate search services, etc., then the benefits of the other 'fancy' tools will start to make more sense.

But, like with many things, it's good experience to directly run into some of the issues that containers and the other fancy tools aim to solve, and really try to solve them yourself with DIY solutions, before committing to use yet another program or tool to do it for you.

Of course, if you just want to learn those tools, and you'd like to use your own app as a 'motivate example', that's perfectly reasonable and valid too. I would recommend tho not to lean on those tools for your own immediate needs unless you really need them.
jax does have a just in time compiler that lets you compile your python functions to XLA-optimized kernels (through llvmlite under the hood?).

The fact that you can jit compile and gain the benefits of "doing this within the compiler" is one of its main selling points.

Doesn't it have to be licensed as GPL3?
Thank you for making the point. I find it utterly silly that something that is taken from granted as Best Principles (tm) in other fields is considered harmful in game programming. I've programmed a few small games, never with features grand enough to have any sort of assets management but I would think that the scope of any AAA game would be such that assets and code were kept separate. Watched the Blizzcon video from the WoW classic team and they talked about the 3 pillars of their product being Code, Data and Assets. It's an interesting story. I recommend watching it.
The fact that the mods humor you doesn't make it not white noise, and in fact it makes them part of the problem since it encourages it.

It is incredibly tedious to see people arguing about titles on every single topic instead of actual discussion. On some topics with less discussion it is literally the entirety of the discussion.
> Any reason to prefer Apple Music over Spotify?

For my use, all the major streaming platforms are broadly equivalent in functionality, so I go with the cheapest one. That was Amazon Music when I had Prime, which I haven't renewed. Spotify is about 50% more expensive than Apple Music in my location, so I'll likely be going with Apple Music when my Amazon subscription expires.
The Hazards of Online Faith-Writing
I'm not an expert here, but if the problem is battery life (?), then surely the apps that abuse this will be outed by the users who will, by definition, see the battery getting drained faster.

Apple, how about a battery-energy per app usage display so the users can detect apps that call home/abuse battery usage, and then they can remove them? Is this something that already exists? I would suspect not, as then apple's own apps may get outed! The user could set an energy usage threshold and be told/warned that an app is misbehaving.
Since COBOL usage seems to be heavily tied to high transaction volume mainframes (I'm deliberately ignoring the i Series here), which currently mean IBM zOS-based machines, a good approach would be to make zOS easily accessible to hobbyists and students. IBM has a couple products in their cloud that are running on Linux under zVM. It'd be great if I could bring up a small zOS VM and play with it the same way I can make a small x86 Linux VM on just about any cloud provider.

Oh... And the same applies to Linux on POWER (which is more accessible), AIX on POWER (which is less accessible) and Solaris or Linux on SPARC (Oracle could offer their machines on their public cloud).

There is a huge amount of coolness outside the x86 server space. We should ask for the companies who make it to create more onboarding routes for those machines, unless they want the market to think they are internally considered dead ends (I'm looking at you, Larry Ellison).
Because there really isn't a housing crisis so much as a market failure to provide architecturally suitable spaces.

Consider that cities in N. America either have homes with large lots or condos with maximum 2 bedrooms (the price for 3 bedrooms or more scale non-linearly). Therefore it is very difficult to have a family of 4+ in an apartment.

The homes with large lots create areas with too low density which cause our transportation woes (long commutes, highways, infeasibility of public transport).

The 2 bedroom condo building are also often high-rises, which are also terrible (density is too high, making transportation near the building very difficult - just see the jams caused by people getting out of the high rise in the morning).

A more sensible, IMHO, is to have apartment blocks no taller than 8 stories with a good mix of 1, 2, and three bedroom units. These are found in poorer developed countries where the middle class could not necessarily afford a car, never mind two (my family in BsAs, for example in a 100 m^2, three bedroom apt)
> And how do you solve for problems with crazy people or super super extreme. Even in a large body like the US House, one member can do a decent amount of damage.

Yes, the specifics of the parliamentary procedure used would have to be adjusted so that a single bad actor can't dominate the whole body. OTOH I've seen a single bad actor in smaller systems (think HOA[1] board) get controlled fairly easily with Robert's rules and a professional parliamentarian.

> What about seniority or as HN might call it 'institutional knowledge'? 60% 'safe' seat that used to be held by same Member for life, now 4 out of 10 times is not.

Some people think of this as a feature rather than a bug; there is a long history of suspicion of career politicians. I'm not so sure myself, as there is something to institutional knowledge.

You could solve this by having every region elect N representatives and each ballot list N candidates in order of preference. At N=4 a 60% popular politician would be elected 98% of the time. At N=2 a 60% popular politician could expect to serve for 2 terms over 70% of the time, which is in keeping with some suggested term limits.

I would too. Go ahead and open an issue and we can chat more, but in short I think the biggest hurdle is understanding TPM2 and what API to use to interact with the device. (TPM2 is necessary so the key material never leaves the TPM, signing happens in the device itself)
I'm not the person you were replying to, but my reading of the situation is that the customer realized the boss was out of town and so they sent their own manager to ensure that their issues got priority over everyone else's.
I don't understand why including the price of shipping in the cost of the item is so bad. We include the price of everything else related to the item in the price. I personally like to know the actual price when I look at the item.

Similarly a few years ago when the EU made it mandatory to have the full price listed for air fares I was really happy. Before you'd have a price then when it came time to checkout you'd have taxes, landing fees, handling charges all added and end up with a price 3 times what was originally quoted.

Since I can't get the item without shipping it should just be included in the price.
Exactly. There's nothing wrong with Harvard, of course, but it's not "fatal" if you don't go there.

I'd rather see the U.S. spend a trillion dollars making sure there are good public colleges within commuting distance of 90% of Americans than a trillion dollars forgiving student loans (and then the U.S. should get out of the student loan business!).
New category of software? Such a statement shows how disconnected leaders can be from reality.

Rules follow norms. Rules will not change to accommodate new behavior until that behavior is already accepted. With authoritarian enforcement you can never get to this stage.
Just curious -

With respect to your work and the types of cases you handle.

What are your biggest challenges? Where do you struggle the most?
Absolutely! But nothing that couldn’t be corrected with station-keeping thrusters.
This. In my experience: if "joining slack" means you spend a lot of time chatting about random things and get to know the people privately, you're not doing your job and the work culture is a red flag. I've seen people do the same via email, where they quickly spiral out of work and end up sending each other pics of their pets all day. I don't think it's a medium thing, it's a people thing.

There's certainly a lot to unpack with some of the recent focus on "what is a company for", in all it's varied forms. I think you're correct to focus on some of the empire building, and you're right that there are lots of notable examples of companies that do have latitude to invest in the future (amazon, but this is also true of other big companies like apple, microsoft, google). And I think that what gives away the gambit with this LTSE is that the dual-class structure is protected -- THAT is for empire building and protection of the fiefdom, full-stop.

That said, I like this Harvard piece a lot because the sidebars do point out that there is a pretty strong correlation between excess short-termism that came along with evolution of the shareholder preeminence theory. There's more than enough room here for everyone to be wrong in their own special, unique ways ;-).
Microsoft has already heavily invested in getting Kubernetes running on Windows as a fist-class citizen: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...
Illumos and friends are effectively dead, except as hobbies for enthusiasts. Sun Microsystems, now Oracle, didn't like the reception Open Solaris got so they packed up their source code and went home.

Which is really a shame.

All 'True' Unixes are just closed source versions of what originally were open source operating systems. By taking copyright seriously and having the misconception that there is intrinsic value in 'IP' they effectively sentenced their operating systems and investors to a long term grave.

But I doubt most of them feel bad about it. They got their millions and their nice fat retirements. It doesn't matter now if customers now view their once dominate systems as a sort of technical debt cancer.

If it wasn't for the destructive power that copyright has on technology and the demands of board members to monetize Unix.. we would all be using BSD right now. Unfortunately the tech people from 30 years ago didn't understand the power of 'letting go' and thus allowed them to destroy Unix.

As far as docker goes it has a lot of momentum as a daemon and it'll probably stay that way for a long time despite some technically superior solutions for running containers that have cropped up in the past few years. The newer container solutions just don't have the community backing them and that matters.

Deployment and transfer of environments between people.

Using docker images means that we can take the thing that developer A built and that "runs on their machine" (without necessarily having that developer on hand) and have developer B easily launch it on their machine without having any dependency or isolation or reproducibility issues, and after making some trivial changes put it in a new, fresh production server without having to ask the original dev how it was/should be configured.
One of the frustrating things w this whole ecosystem is you basically have two choices:

* Use one of those higher-level libraries (bokeh, plotly) to create a chart that looks exactly like every other chart made by that library

* If you need to do anything custom, at all, you end up having to build from the ground up w d3.

In other words, those libraries are super cool and I use them on the reg, but they offer little to no customization, so people very often end up back at the bare-metal build-it-yourself-w-d3.
totally agree. I won't be shedding any tears to see this monstrosity go.

You'd need to reach the height of 36,000 km, but not the velocity needed for geosynchronous orbit - only the velocity needed to match the angular motion of the moon, which I think would be 28 times less.
Appendix B calculates a fuel savings of ~25% vs using only rockets to get to the moon.

The saturn 5 rocket weighed 3,000 tons and was 96% fuel.
Even if we only save 10% fuel, that's an extra 300 tons we can get to the moon.

I used to work for a digital consultancy, one of the projects I worked on had a shared slack team between the client and my company. It definitely created problems, but IMO, the problems were because there weren't limits or understanding around how slack should have been used. The staffing of the project changed pretty significantly throughout the years I worked on it and the trouble came from not setting expectations around how slack (and channels) should be used.
Yes, I see some of that but surprisingly I really haven't seen any let up in our practice with companies seeking to establish operations in the U.S. Some companies bifurcate their operations, with development work being done in their home country and marketing and sales and client support work being done in the U.S.
