The way I wrote it, it should be more obvious that this isn't an open-source license per se.

What you want a commercial software where you offer exceptions to certain classes of users. Sometimes, this is called dual-licensing. But overall, the controlling license for use of the software is necessarily a proprietary license of some kind.
That's a particularly uncharitable interpretation.

It's much more likely is that everyone's well aware of climate change (I'm sure I've read many hundreds of articles over my lifetime), but this is the first many people have heard of SV pollution (it certainly is for me).
I have. Being a hero means some risk to yourself does it not? Ultimately if you piss off a government you're going to run the risk of things going poorly for yourself.

All I know is the last place he should have went was to a foreign country. Official channels -> congress -> media, and this is at great risk but this is what Ellsberg did.

With all this said- whistle-blower protections ought to become mandatory training for all DoD contractors, government employees, or anyone who handles classified information.

The pricing he quotes in the article he quotes 1350$ per month.
If you remove API gateway (which appears you can) , price is about 300$ (from the article itself).

He never mentions what memory provisioning he uses for his lambda but he does remarks that he has 10M requests a day and that'll cost 10$ a day in lambda costs. Which comes to 0.000001 per request. That puts his service at 512MB memory at 0.000000834 (+ 0.0000002 per request).

If instead he used a 128MB instance (which is reasonable if your request is 3ms, but probably not enough to run .net core) you'll be at ~0.0000004 . Which would put it at roughly half cost. At about ~120$, which is the same as his server setup.

He did mention that he could cut his costs by reducing memory usage.

Seems like there's no reason why it couldn't match up to the server-side cost. I don't think the cost-benefit analysis is as bad as he makes it out to be.

Seems also like there's a very big mismatch in pricing here. If his workload is about 3ms per request but he is charged for 100ms a request, then that's a 33 fold increase in pricing compared to being charge per millisecond. Seems like quite an opportunity for some cloud provider to differentiate itself.

I see nothing to suggest he was lying. If the protections that are there on paper are not real, in the sense that they do not protect you, or you have good reason to believe they're not real, then it's not a lie to say there aren't any protections.

Personally, I think he did well not to be naive enough to trust that they'd work.

Related: Hellerstein et. al's paper evaluating the limitations of serverless frameworks for different use cases. (https://blog.acolyer.org/2019/01/14/serverless-computing-one...)

tl;dr FaaS lifetimes, lack of cache locality, network rates and isolation make serverless platforms great only for embarassingly parallel, short-lived, I/O-bound tasks that don't require high performance and are only occasionally run. Anything else will be more expensive and slower than just maintaining your own server.

Lambda thus would be perfect for irregular batch jobs or orchestration tasks. Trying to serve an API isn't advisable because of the low-latency requirements.

On a tangential note, AWS Lambda is actually insufficient to serve an API by itself - you also need to use AWS API Gateway to serve incoming requests, create your own route tables and dedicated subnets if you need to allow VPC access, enable Cloudtrail logging and monitoring (very limited), and add IAM rules to allow all of these to interoperate. It is not a turn-key solution by any means.

Add to this the limits on deployment artifacts (50 MB max), and you've basically done all the work needed to launch your own EC2 instance in its own subnet and availability zone, but resulting in something with smaller capacity and worse observability.

Use a server, dammit.

- Take short breaks every 20 minutes.

- Don't use keyboard on weekends (Your body needs time to recover)

- Have a decent setup. Desk and chair height, arm rest position, keyboard and good size mouse.

- Invest on a good keyboard. I use Kinesis-Advantage-2. You can also go extra miles with Dvorak.

- Use vim key bindings. (You can use it on any editor even on your web-browser)

- At least 15 mins daily exercise for your hands, neck, and shoulders.

- Do physical activities to maintain muscle health.

- Do sport but not too hard.

For hangnails, use a normal hand cream every morning and every night before going to bed.
The first few days is annoying to have greasy hands if you are not used to it. After some minutes it vaporizes or absorbs into the skin.

It took me less than a month to get rid of hangnails. After that I only apply a little bit before going to sleep.

Some do but oceanic fish can be much harder to breed in captivity, than their fresh water relatives are. There have been some successes such as the striped sea bass hybrid:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_striped_bass

That being said, many oceanic fish such as the Snook, Snappers and Groupers are not as simple, there are some promising results from a few areas in concerns to these species but most of them center around farm pens in the ocean. so not really brooding and rearing them in on shore artificial salt ponds which would be far more cost effective.

The history of Ireland makes me think it's not as anecdotal as some would like. ;)

Yes, that's certainly a solution.

Or using a certification authority for users (TrustedUserCAKeys in sshd_config), so that any user that has a signed certificate, and owns the corresponding private key, would be allowed to login. No further updates of authroized_keys files needed.

And, to further automate the ssh login, maybe your LUKS container could have a second (Nth) key-slot being a random key RSA-encrypted with the other machine's identity private key? (https://bjornjohansen.no/encrypt-file-using-ssh-key for examples)

But generally, I really dislike the use of LUKS in this case, as I think a filesystem based encryption (not encrypting whole block devices) would make more sense. I understand that this isn't as mature as LUKS, though.

I take issue with the "promote ... the best use of copyleft (GPL version 3-or-later)" here. The GPL is a controversial license by itself, though it's the de facto copyleft license and reasonable to promote it, but the GPLv3-vs-GPLv2 debate is alive and well and I don't want GitHub to "promote" either of them as "the best".
When I finished my PhD in physics, my father asked me what I might want as a gift.

My first company got its first investment so I knew I was leaving academia. The world outside academia had white boards, which felt unnatural and the markers always running out of ink. A piece of chalk, you knew exactly how much was left -- a physical bar chart.

I asked him for a blackboard. I still have it and use it, though not daily. It's about 4 feet by 6 feet. The only thing that compares and that drew me away from it to any degree is mindmapping software. I use Freeplane https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page, but it doesn't replace the blackboard.

Nothing like a blackboard.

What Is CRO? How to Increase Conversion Rates (Free Template)
I'm a programmer and a hobbyist sleight of hand card magician, ie two things that require my hands to be in good health.

I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 ergonomic keyboard. They're not cheap, but they greatly help with comfort IMHO. I greatly regret not buying one ten years earlier (I almost did, but put it off due to the cost). I use it with a foot pedal for shift and other things. I would highly recommend that any programmer seriously consider getting or trying one out.

If I feel stain or pain, I will sleep while wearing wrist braces to keep the joints straight at night. Its a bit weird and uncomfortable, but you get used to it. I haven't needed to do it in about a year.

Regular breaks and stretches are also good and keeping your joints warm helps prevent damage. Also, I see a lot of people at conferences and in the office hammering their keyboards as if on an old-school typewriter. Don't do that.

Also, as others have mentioned, keeping your keyboard (and everything else) at a proper height is important. Exercise (for your hands an in general) are great too, as others have said. Some great advice here today!

Finally, if you have carpel tunnel specifically, I recommend trying these out: https://www.mycarpaltunnel.com/carpal-tunnel-treatment/ligam... They're a bit pricey and not guaranteed to work, but they did for me. The pain went away after about 3 to 4 weeks and hasn't really come back (after heavy typing on a bad keyboard without breaks maybe, but nothing a wrist brace for the night didn't sort out). I've been pretty much pain free for 1.5 years since using that. Anecdotal, I know...
Why is building machine learning systems so hard?
Free software is difficult. I have a family and young kids to feed. I can't work for FREE. I have open-source packages that are "free", but that's my hobby or a living. If you get a professorship at a university then you can flog free software, but it doesn't work for the other 99.99999% of the population. Sigh. I wish open-soure software is funded like universities. European Union funds some software, but more should be done. The economy of free software is a classific economics problems; too many free loaders. We can't continue to rely on volunteers. The public needs to fund open-source software, just like how to we fund universities!
I agree with you, in that pretending to drink (e.g Tonic instead of Gin & Tonic) is probably what a lot of us do, and the obvious way out. But the point of drinking is not really being sociable, but making yourself vulnerable. Vulnerability and exploitability is the foundation of trust. By staying sober one undermines one of the core trust formation mechanism: by remaining sober and responsible, you avoid creating exploitable vulnerabilities that others can but don't exploit -- I trust X because X can exploit my being vulnerable w.r.t. Y me, but doesn't.

Note also that pretending to drink feels a bit like cheating to me: I'm actively deceiving others. I wish I could live my life without deceit.

We need to live and breathe a culture that makes even young developers aware that this mistake has been done over and over until a growing collective of developers has recognized the pattern behind this.

After all, in the analogue trades even apprentices are taught many "don'ts" right from day one. Software engineering should not be any different.
Well, my wife was suddenly and unexpectedly locked out of her money for a day just because someone in a local branch fucked up. It's good that it's rare, and as long as the economy is stable in your country you can trust that - but the "as long as" here is the worrying point.
"Serverless" is basically yet another manifestation of the fact that (despite recent controversy about, well, him being weird) Stallman was right about open-source. The alternative to serverless - open-source products like Mesos, DCOS, Nomad, etc. - offer the same functionality to engineering organizations at lower cost with vastly more pleasant (and manageable) support for things like CI. It's been a great money-making scam for the "cloud" companies though. "Serverless" is closed-source by nature, and it will never be as efficient as open-source solutions.

It only takes one expansionist species to populate the whole galaxy. Thus, if intelligent life were common, we should detect them. You'd have to argue that no advanced species would ever do this, which is possible, but seems less plausible.
Thing is, that by stealing and releasing documents he did not read (by his own admission) he could not have known what collateral damage he would've done to US and allied intelligence capabilities.

One might argue that any damage to intelligence interests is superceded by the public's interests in learning about abuses, but had he made a more targeted leak collateral damage might not have been an issue.

Trusting journalists to do the job is a cop out. He took the action of taking the documents, then foisted responsibility on someone else. And make no mistake, intelligence services spy on journalists and have compromised journalists. Snowden had no way of knowing whether other intelligence agencies could get to what he gave the various media outlets. Even some carelessness on their part could have revealed secrets to others.

Ask HN: Are misleading sales tactics rampant on Steam?
Here in the UK I was under the impression that to claim that products are on sale, you should show the previous price and should have been selling at that price for a meaningful period of time.

It appears to be rampant practise on Steam to list an item and put it on sale almost immediately. I understand why sellers do this to attract more attention to the product, but ultimately I don't think it genuinely serves sellers and buyers positively.
People 'returning from work' and 'turning things on' are exactly the kind of situation where serverless/lambda shines.

See also: traffic jams and people switching on their electric kettles en-masse during intermission of major soccer matches. The first disrupts whole economies and the second has given rise to 'fast pumped storage' at the electrical grid level.

Just because you don't see the accumulated effects does not mean they aren't there.

Can you call them entrepreneurs if they want to be hired by a large player?

That entrepreneur leave France is almost a meme, and I know it happens and have some friends among them, but not everyone leave either. I have the chance to regularly meet French entrepreneurs staying in France. It's certainly harder than in the US but definitely possible. The thing is, most are not in areas that can massively scale. It can be very high tech, with international exposure, but it will never become a Google or Amazon. It tends to be specialized tech that can sustain a small to mid company, but not a massive one. And as a result, it tend to stay under the radar when discussing start-ups and everyone having the GAFA in mind.
Honestly, this post has made me question staying in embedded software too. Unless you are in a few major tech cities (Boston, San Francisco, etc) it is harder to find opportunities locally and/or remotely. Other types of software development seems more common.

One nice thing about embedded development is that it is very easy to do it as a hobby now! Making a project robot or something like that may be a fun diversion after working 9-5 at a web-dev job!

That is a problem for a few reasons:

1. It's hard to sleep for all of a 13+ hour flight (North America->Australia).

2. I'm 6 foot 2, and my head doesn't touch the head rest on most planes (even when it's possible to lift up the thing with head flaps on it). It's hard to sleep when your head is not supported.
I really doubt not managing servers is an advantage other than initial launch for MVP or some simple webhook. The overhead of managing API gateway, monitoring and log in a more large scale serverless application is larger than managing several linux servers.

There is money for small companies already, with seed funds, business angels and regional funds. It's after that it's getting harder, so it makes sense to me to focus on the scaling part.

Serverless has it's place. If you have lots of events and they don't fire all the time it's great. Or, for small additive things on a mostly static site (like one hosted out of s3). Or for some other specific cases.

Serverless may change the landscape of development but it's going to take time. The costs need to settle into place while tools and processes need to come together.

Right now it appears it takes longer to build something with serverless, is more difficult to manage for day-2 deployments, and it costs more to operate for things like API servers.

I look forward to serverless doing a lot more in a cost effective manner. It's just going to take time to get there if it ever does.
Indeed. I suspect that the things we know almost nothing about (e.g. the nature of consciousness), and perhaps things we don't even suspect "exist", end up being far more important than physical expansion for intelligent beings over the long term.

Communication itself might be of little interest to such beings.
Have you considered moving to a different place?

But yes, when you are also physically challenged, that is even more hard.
Yes but what about test driven development and agile? We can't see how serverless development is compatible with these so we don't use it. Docker FTW!
And that’s _exactly_ what they want you to think.
