Solves might be strong, but it removes a big portion of the cold start latency that was difficult to optimize for and out of the control of developers. Creating minimal images isn't difficult for a number of environments (e.g. webpacking your node.js lambdas) and barring necessarily large images (think pandas on Lambda) this puts a lot of control for the cold start p99 back in the hands of customers.

Overall, definitely a big win!
Better said than practiced. I recently bought a Supermicro MBD-M11SDV-8CT-LN4F-O (AMD EPYC 3201 SoC). There are 5 NICs--4 Intel and 1 Realtek. The Realtek is set of by itself and obviously dedicated to the BMC controller.

However, reading around I learned that if the controller doesn't succeed in getting a DHCP address on the Realtek interface (unplugged, or apparently in Supermicro's case just a failed DHCP server), it will automatically switch to sharing the first Intel NIC.

You can disable it in the BIOS, but I've had problems in the past where I thought I disabled IPMI on the LAN but either didn't do it correctly or it reverted itself. It doesn't help that there are a ton of ambiguously named, poorly documented options.

To be on the safe side I've plugged both the Realtek and #1 Intel jack. I usually prefer to use the RS-232 serial port for management as it's more fool-proof, but unfortunately this MB doesn't have one. I could install one, but it doesn't make me any more confident that the BMC isn't (now or in the future) on the network.

I understand how useful these BMCs can be, especially for Windows machines, but they're so extremely dangerous. It sucks that they're so ubiquitous, and it sucks that SuperMicro's BMC seems to be the worst of them all in terms of security and bugginess. Unfortunately, a SuperMicro motherboard and case is the only way to get a low-power AMD EPYC server into a small, 1U, short-depth form factor. There are a few more options for Intel, but SuperMicro is still your best bet for do-it-yourself server hardware.

I really love my three PC Engines APUs. Simple serial connection, coreboot firmware, and other than AMD's PSP chip and perhaps the Intel NIC controller, no hidden vectors for remote access. And it has an RS-232 serial port, which because there's no GPU (or at least no video port) both the BIOS and most BSD and Linux distros will automatically use by default.

It'd be awesome if PC Engines built something using EPYC or even Ryzen, stripping everything down like they did for the APU and ALIX. But their niche is low-powered, passively cooled x86 devices using older, more reliable, cheaper, well-documented SoCs. Soekris tried to go upmarket with the net6501 and ended up folding. (They still sell custom DAC hardware from their EU outfit.) There's not enough of a market to make it worthwhile to take the risk. Lots of people love the idea in theory, but what people end up doing is sticking with traditional server suppliers, or in the home, hobbyist, and small business market just buying one of the many faster small form factor boxes that have flooded the market. The problem with those alternatives is that the boards are packed with too much crap, they're too diverse, and every model and family of models short-lived.
I was on topical mupirocin and then oral sulfamethoxazole for a couple months, both of which seem relatively pedestrian when it comes to antibiotics. It was my first time taking an oral antibiotic, and it probably nuked my entire gut flora.
I'll add the whole thing here:

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

You probably got 'floxed'. Fluoroquinolones are dangerous and should be reserved for life and death situations.

No, adapters from USB-C to the older USB ports are completely passive, they only have a pair of resistors to identify as an adapter.
BMCs are scary as hell... even for people who say they isolate them, you also need to do a full audit as many come with rubbish default settings.

For example, Dell's default config on BMC/Idrac (at least 4-5 years ago when I tested) do not have brute force prevention and by default utilising a special CLI program, you can logon to a DRAC from the host OS.

Therefore, if a host got compromised, even if Idrac is on a different network, you could in theory bruteforce from the host credentials and jump/attack the management network.

FYI, for Dell, the command to disable this behaviour was racadm config -g cfgRacTune -o cfgRacTuneLocalConfigDisable 1

and it took quite a while to figure this out...

It'd be less of an issue if the entry process wasn't advertised as meritocratic, I suspect.
If these security reports are valid, this may affect not only Supermicro, but other vendors too. From the top of my head, Asus and Gigabyte workstation motherboards also carried AST2400 based BMCs, and theirs ipmi web interface looked very similar(if not totally the same) to supermicro's.

Both using LetsEncrypt.

A few maybe-useful thoughts:

* setting up LE & an auto-renewing cert isn't too hard, and it feels smarter than paying for a cert the old way, but if you're super-busy with everything else, it may not be worth it, yet.

* setting up LE in a rush is bad. You'll make some minor error, you won't double-check in 3 months that yes, the renewal happened, and you will find out that your site has been hacked from your customers or potential customers (except that no, it hasn't been hacked)

* whether you buy a 2 year cert ("now I have 2 years to set up LE") or do set up LE, sign up for SSL cert monitoring. You can have something like DownNotifier.com ping you directly in Slack when expiration is coming up.

> Misleading headlines lower the quality of public discourse.

Misleading headlines only affect people who have not read the article. People who have not read the article, or can't bother to read the article, are essentially incapable of giving a proper high-quality response to the article.

I don't see how you can lower the quality of discourse any further than someone commenting on an article that they didn't read.

Do people really believe still this, or is this something everyone says reflexively to avoid committing the faux pas of coming across as believing that the U.S. is better than a communist country?

It already does in terms of USB cables. Buy a wrong cable, and your device won't charge, or won't charge fast enough, or won't communicate. And you can't tell the good/correct cable from the bad ones visually.

The standard can have any number of optional modes to be implemented by devices. I don't care. What I want is for it to have one cable type. Because it's kind of a point of an universal port that people will use cables from one device with another.
I agree. Just because you accept some tax breaks should not, in my opinion, mean that you stop being a private organization. If a university's standard is lowered because the rich, not the best are admitted, that will be reflected in the academic standards of the university and would make it less attractive.

Maybe I'm a pessimist but I don't think it's as possible as you do. The money taken from billionaires/millionaires would eventually dry up. Also, with the incentive to acrue wealth removed, bank accounts are not a renewable resource. Simply too many mouths to feed worldwide.

Does that mean don't try anything? Of course not. Life isn't black and white. I don't believe involuntary taking from those who have to give to those who do not is a sustainable plan. Rather, somehow incentivize those who have to help voluntarily. My suggestion: more proliferation of employee-owned companies.
I found it difficult to get upset over the original scandal knowing that this was considered the "correct" way to buy an admission. In my view, either both of these should be considered fraud/bribery and outlawed, or neither of them should be.

You mean like the 350 million pounds a year for NHS lie? Or the complete failure of the Brexiteers to offer a decent solution to the Irish border mess? How are those remainer's fault again?

What about the fact that the courts have found that the Brexit campaign violated campaign laws, and the reason a new referendum won't be forced is that the vote was non-binding?

Sounds like Brexiteers are actually afraid of democracy.

I'm a right-wing libertarian, and I've never felt excluded or anything like that because of his leftist views. This for many reasons:

1) He's not a hypocrite in any way. He's honest and you can tell that he has truly thought about his opinions.

2) In my country, I get bombarded with a ralentless stream of leftist ideology. The worst kind of leftism: the lazy 'slogan' leftism, from people too stupid to realize the full implications of their discourse. In comparison to them, Stallman is a moderate, thoughtful, sweet person.

3) I see his leftism as orthogonal to his software freedom ideology. I use and support free software, and I'm more pro-capitalism than Milton Friedman.

The hitch with that is that the Conservative government doesn't have a majority without the support of the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, and the DUP's central, defining issue is that Northern Ireland is and should always remain part of the UK. So the government can't yield an inch on Ireland, because the minute they do the DUP will withdraw its support and the government will promptly collapse.
As long as we're willing to expand standardized testing, I agree. So much effort goes towards eliminating bias in hiring, especially for white collar jobs, yet the portal to those jobs is couched in bias.
Your sentence implies that Go green threads can do both of what 1:1 threading and async/await can, but it's more complex than that: there's a tradeoff between the simplicity (only one concurrency primitive) and the capability of the said primitive:

- with it's M:N model, Go cannot really do FFI efficiently, while both 1:1 async/await have no problem with that in Rust.

- goroutines are cooperatively scheduled, while OS thread are preemptively scheduled. If you have hot loops, Go's model won't be able yo guarantee fairness between goroutines, which may be a problem depending on your usage. OS threads don't have this problem.

- with goroutines you won't achieve the level of performance you can reach with async/await.

Go and Rust fills a different niche of programming and take a different stand on this tradeoff: Rust gives you more power at a complexity cost. Go offers you more simplicity, with less power.
Warming functions in the previous VPC architecture was always a questionable practice. You had no guarantee that your environments would be warm across all subnets or which subnets would handle incoming requests. Beyond that, what happens to requests which you receive when the function is being warmed? You still incur cold starts.

There has never been a guarantee of environment reuse. Any architecture which isn't capable of incurring cold starts is not a good fit for serverless.
Since there would be only one type of cable, economies of scale would be massive. Even if they didn't eat all the cost, so what. Cost of the cable is a fraction of the cost of a device, and the whole point of doing a universal protocol is that you can use cables from one device with a different device.

Maybe "fixed size" was the wrong way to phrase it. What I meant is that a string points to an unlimited amount of data and all of that unlimited amount of data is taken into account when deciding equality of strings. And my question should have been, is string the only datatype with that feature?

If it is, it means Go is like Lua, where if you want to use any compound data structure as a key in a map, you either marshall it to a string or you implement your own hashtable.

In Python you are allowed to use tuples of immutable objects as keys, for example. Much nicer than serializing everything to strings.

As for "in practice this is rarely a problem", I agree, but prefer languages where the standard library doesn't have these arbitrary limitations. For example I might want to implement multivariate sparse polynomials as maps from exponent tuples to coefficients (the polynomial 3 x^2 y^3 z + 7 x y z^4 corresponds to the map {(2,3,1): 3, (1,1,4): 7}). That's straightforward in Python but awkward in Go (in Go I might be tempted to just set a maximum number of variables and use arrays or exponents as keys).
> The money taken from billionaires/millionaires would eventually dry up.

The Pareto principle remains. Wealth is measured. Ergo, there will always be people who maintain a network of wealth that far exceeds the norm.
Also, Goodhart's Law. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Keyword advertising's entire premise is based on advertising against keywords, the system is working as designed, and I do not believe Basecamp needs to buy an ad if someone is already searching for "basecamp".

On the other hand, if the ad looked like an organic search result, that is something I'd totally object to. If the ad is clearly marked, doesn't confuse the user and works as designed, especially without maligning or baselessly smearing the targeted keyword, is it really a shakedown?

link location bar extension: this cannot be replaced with a webextension as mozilla refused to add the necessary API

websocket monitor extension: this is being built into the dev tools, after 2 years and counting

tab groups / panorama: every single extension that tries to replace this is terribly broken, because the provided extension APIs don't really support this use case or are super racey

like the link location bar extension it's impossible to write an extension to replicate the old refresh/stop/go button in the url bar. You can have 3 buttons, but that's stupid.

I found it a bit strange that they sold Lambda as THE new way to do API development.

You can connect API-Gateway with other services via Velocity templates, which don't have cold starts.

Lambda is good if the other solutions are missing something, so you can drop it in quickly, but I wouldn't use it as the go to services for that...
