What is the point of such a question? Writing software that is successful in the sense it gets major adoption is not necessarily desired by power users. On the contrary, we have a well known example in systemd. That's why you see sarcasm here, people are afraid of what is yet to come.

If the "successful software" is causing you only problems and upon inspection, you discover it is restricting your computing, you're likely to worry about next project of the author.
I'm not pretending to drink... I actually have a few, but have a few not alcohol too, I make no attempts to hide it when ordering. I'm generally pretty blunt without much filtering in general, I don't need alcohol for that.
I can understand their perspective, especially if they're non technical. Much of the time they see open source as some ragtag community project that has no real support so they believe in terms of risk, it can seem lower to build or buy.
SME aren't startups, quite the opposite. And my gripe with startups lays in the difference between those two. A regular company makes business, at some scale, and sometimes grow because they were efficient and profitable. They are the realm of people knowing their business and their market.

Startups raise funds, try to build a big scale business as fast as possible and sometimes become profitable because they became big enough fast enough. Move fast, break things (first websites, now satellites and automated cars, YOLO) and become rich ASAP please.
I found SAM to be extremely difficult to use, especially on windows where docker is just plain old terrible.
When I asked HN about the licensing for windows.h and similar header files, there was some incredulity that MS could ever give them a permissive license (or even a slightly less restrictive one). And this was just for the public header files that define a public interface!

So I think it unlikely because Windows developers aren't calling for it and Linux developers don't care about it. Sure they'll open source particularly services and applications, especially as they move to more platforms. But I doubt they'd open source Windows itself.
And silly because UI paradigms change anyways. And people are capable of keeping up.
A more helpful way to look at it is how countries like South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan grew so rapidly in the 20th century despite active intervention by superpowers.

South Korea in 1960 was poorer than Congo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, etc. About the same as Bangladesh. Today South Korea is as rich as France.

These don't go away because you went serverless. They are jut now outside your control -- and you will have to wait for somebody else to fix them, usually with no insight into how long it will take leaving you with a very poor messaging you can give your clients as to when things will be back on line.

Simply hand-waving -- this is running on somebody else's server is not going to make the auditors happy.

Enterprise folks don't want to manage servers for a whole host of reasons. But I would say the number #1 reasons is they don't understand the cost, and the #2 is the management team has no clue what they are doing -- and probably running a play book somebody else wrote one time long ago that happened to work exactly once.

PeterStuer, to whose post I originally replied, said those meetings were held outside working hours, so people effectively had "10 hour workdays".

I don't see why is it hard to understand the difference between having a 10 hour workday or having a shifted 8 hour workday.
Agreed, my suggestion might be off. Either way, he's got some clunky sentences there.
If you don't see it coming when someone explains it, you definitely won't see it coming when it's not being forecast in a public forum.

Linux capacity planning: Things you need to know
I believe you might be right, interference is exactly what you want from a quantum computer I think.

And the test they did show that they actually achieved interference. How you'd call that quantum supremacy is a bit of a strech tough if you ask me. Looks to be like saying 'hey, a quantum system can simulate quantum behavior quicker than a classical computer' which is kinda implied
No. Interference is what makes quantum computers work. Decoherence destroys superposition.
As I said somewhere else, you should check out Alice Schroder's chapter on NFM in her Buffett bio for a source.
Thanks for the feedback @xcubic.

How it works is explained in the free preview part of the course: https://www.bigfmethod.com/courses/bigf-method/lessons/intro....

That's also where I explain what I'm doing with those ideas: I'm working through them as part of my journey to find my next business. I thought it would add confusion to send them to another website to learn about my challenge (https://ramonsuarez.com/launching-at-least-one-project-every...)

I'll look again into the text and see if I can fit it in a relevant way.

About the pricing: I find it is a good price to start with to get more people in, specially at the beginning where not enough people have gone in to provide good testimonials. I also think that the target audience is very price sensitive.

What would be the adequate price for you?

Why buy? Because you are looking for new business ideas and are stuck.
I also don't think it's impossible, but I am also sure they're not going to open any significant part of Windows until they have full control of Linux in corporate environments, which is probably going to happen in less than 10 years, or a lot less should they buy a well known popular distro then turn it into Microsoft Linux.
seriously, its a function. if you remove the aws/lambda specifics you _should_ have something testable that you then call from your lambda handler.
I hope that all-remote work environments will rise in popularity and level the playing field. Not only for introverts, but also for people with disabilities that make it difficult to participate in casual conversation. I dream of an environment where a deaf person, a person with a severe speech impediment, an autistic person, people with other disabilities that don't prevent one from making small talk (e.g. blindness), and yes, some people with no severe disability can all work together, without necessarily even being aware of each other's conditions, because they're all working remotely and using text to communicate and get their work done.

Disclaimer: I work in accessibility, and am legally blind myself, so maybe I fixate too much on disability-related issues sometimes. I can make small talk at the office though.
I don’t get why this is so hard for some Americans. “Good morning. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?” “Nah, just did a big Costco run and then cleaned a bit. You?” “I biked around a bit, then kinda relaxed on Sunday. Well, I’m gonna go make some coffee. Want anything?”
On the off chance the various responders in this sub-thread see this comment, for a while I've hoped someone would advocate for privacy/TOS policies to follow a similar model to OSS licensing.

Normal people could conceivably read and understand a given policy if the knowledge scaled.

Any substantial adoption would help focus effort/resources on services that deviate from the terms.

Sites that are already repositories of this knowledge could play some part in codifying best-practices, advocating for adoption, and tracking progress.
We, as a civilization, have become this way over time. We didn't enter the Anthropocene overnight, it was a gradual transition fueled by exponential growth on a finite planet.

We can transition back to a simpler way of life, people are already doing that. I've spent a good amount of my youth around 'hippies' and they have been about this since the 60s. Many people in third world countries already live simple lives, I admire Bill Gates for the work he is doing to bring a higher quality of life to them.

If Windows was open sourced it'd easily reach mainstream media awareness.
Poettering explicitly says in his talk that he doesn't want to change how home directories work on servers. I mean, RHEL runs on a lot of servers, and they certainly aren't going to alienate a ton of customers by requiring them to log in via a physical console after reboot.

I normally find your comments on HN measured and insightful, but in this thread you're just coming off as angry.
You should be glad that you still have any save menu, as they wanted to scrap that in favor of autosave.

Everything coming out of MS the last 5 years has been thoroughly underwhelming, but the UI development and user infantilization takes the cake.

Just image everyone in your company saves any document they opened automatically. How would these even look like after 1-2 weeks?

The decision processes at Microsoft cannot be explained by cocaine alone anymore...

Sorry for the rant, let's just say I understand your frustration...
>Computers are not generally useful for a classroom

I kind of agree with that. There seems a bit of a common problem with charitable 1st world people building things for 3rd world countries that they assume some distorted idea of what they want when they probably did school with pen, paper and books themselves and that's probably what works elsewhere. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africar - people in Africa don't want wooden cars - they drive Toyotas and similar, just often beat up ones. Usually what works in poor places is the same as what works in richer one but a bit lower budget.
My point isn’t that I can’t figure it out, it’s that it’s painful to use. Someone is paid to be in charge of the ui/ux, their objective is mysterious because it’s not usability.

>One problem with the British upperclass, is that they tend to be educated at private schools like Eton, where they primarily learn confidence.

Not limited to the British upper class. It's astounding how far someone can go in life by simply being confident, charismatic, and articulate (and tall) despite being completely full of shit.
Ironically it’s climate change advocates who have politicized science. The IPCC, whose reports are fundamental to climate change advocacy, is an intergovernmental panel. It is the epitome of politicized science. Judge whether or not this kind of politicized science is good or not, but in general I do agree that politicizing science is most likely a negative and ultimately a corruption of science.
Most unreasonable people are useless though. There's only a small subset who drive progress.
That is really worth a Google. Must require some ventilation. Totally mad.
They’d have to drop the windows store, no?
Unfortunately this misses 90% of the images.
But MS were, at the time, against all things open source. Not just free software (although that did seem to get the full brunt of their ire).

Your edits fail to convey the context in which these sentences are written. Sometimes using a double negative conveys information that would be lost otherwise. In this case, the normal response to rms' suggestion would be "that's impossible!", to which he's replying that no, it isn't totally impossible.
>Negroponte was furious. He lashed out at Intel, accusing it of approaching OLPC’s target markets and dumping laptops below cost to destroy the nonprofit. “Intel should be ashamed of itself,” he said. “It’s just — it’s just shameless.”

Shameless??! I only wish Nicholas Negroponte would have directed some of his self-righteous anger towards his brother John Negroponte, who dumped so much hard cold cash and political support on right wing dictators and weapons dealers (and depleted uranium shells on Iraqi children), while willfully and knowingly ignoring the human rights abuses he was funding and covering up, and who has brutally harmed so many more children and parents and school teachers with his US taxpayer funded policies than Intel ever has with their cheap laptops, and who has a hell of a lot of blood and powdered DU on his hands for what he did in South America and Iraq.

>Iraqi Kids Test Positive for Depleted Uranium Remnants Near Former US Air Base. Two Iraqi boys walk among burnt U.S. ammunition trucks contaminated by U.S. depleted uranium bullets on May 3, 2003, in Baghdad, Iraq. For the first time, independent researchers have found that the bodies of Iraqi children born with congenital disabilities, such as heart disease and malformed limbs, near a former United States air base in southern Iraq are contaminated with high levels of radioactive heavy metals associated with toxic depleted uranium pollution leftover from the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

Nicholas must take solace in the fact that he isn't responsible for as many deaths, cancers, and acts of corruption as his brother John, for what it's worth. Nicholas Negroponte's OLPC boondoggle pales in comparison to John Negroponte's South American and Iraqi boondoggles.

>Based upon the Committee's review of State Department and CIA documents, it would seem that Ambassador Negroponte knew far more about government perpetrated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the committee in 1989 or in Embassy contributions at the time to annual State Department Human Rights reports.

That phrase could be used to describe how every genocidal maniac in history viewed themselves. Most of the steady progress that has been made in this world has been due to the efforts of diplomatic individuals who cast a wide, friendly net for their supposed adversaries.

Ask HN: Data lake creation best practices
I would like to ask for your experience and recommendation when building a data lake. I am more interested in governance practices and the consuming part of the process rather than the ingestion and the technical part.

I have not been able to solve questions for things such how to deal with the logical part of the data or the different layers of abstraction inside the data lake.

I started reading The Enterprise Big Data Lake but I am not sure it is solving my doubts, so any read will also be welcome :)
So, basically, people who maintain the system you use have made decisions on its evolution that you don't like.
Keeping the system as it is would have been another, arguable, possibility, not the obvious thing to do.

I can't see any solution to this problem for you apart from another system emerging with features you like (maybe from a fork). Which is not trivial.
The paper claims that a classical supercomputer is MUCH slower at simulating a noiseless 53 logical qubit system,
but doesn't exclude the possibility of a classical supercomputer simulating an approximation of the actual noisy 53 bit physical qubit system, that still gives sufficiently decent estimates of the observed final state probabilities. Such a simulation would compute orders of magnitude fewer than 2^53 amplitudes, and use whatever shortcuts are available to get approximately correct results.

Quantum supremacy cannot be claimed until this possibility is ruled out.

Is this still true in the age of the iPhone?
If someone is irrational or malevolent, the only legitimate strategy is to not engage. Attempting to produce an irrefutable argument or use a strategy to bypass their dishonesty is futile and damages your own standing. Stated much more articulately by an author I admire:

"The first issue that I want to discuss is the topic of when to argue and when not--in other words, when to get into a full-fledged back-and-forth discussion, and when to refrain from it. There are many cases...in which it is not appropriate. In such cases, if it is a moral or otherwise significant issue, you could make clear that you disapprove of the person's view, so that you do not leave yourself in the position that your silence or refusal to argue implies agreement. Nevertheless, there are many cases in which, given that disclaimer by you, it simply makes no sense to engage in argument. I would summarize it like this: Assuming you want to argue--and remembering that there is no moral duty to argue--you have to decide: Is it worth it? Is it worth the strain, or do you think you will do anything for your inner clarity, or toward conversion or suggestion of a viewpoint to other people?

"Assuming that you are interested and do want to develop along these lines, I would say, in essence, argue when you believe that your opponent, however confused, is honest. He may disagree violently with you. But the question is, is he open to rational argument or not? If he is dishonest--which means that facts, arguments, and reasoning make no difference to him--then, of course, it is a waste of time. It is a waste of your breath, because you are giving arguments to someone who you believe holds that arguments are irrelevant. Moreover, if you argue with such a person, you are actually sanctioning his pretense. If he wants to engage in argument with you, that means he wants to pretend that he is a man of reason, that he has arguments for his view. If he does that while simultaneously denying reason, he is engaged in real fraud, and your refusal to comply is much more dreadful to him than any amount of refutation by you."
Interestingly, this is not the first time that I've heard Microsoft talk about open-sourcing Windows [0]. The licensing behind many of the components may make it a distant pipe dream, but since they make most of their money through their applications (i.e. MSSQL runs on Linux now, the software teams all work under Azure now), I could see it happening sometime.

The whole phenomenon of rms worship on forums like these depresses me about the future of our industry
I don't see anything misleading in it either, given that I don't see why anyone would look at those kind of whistleblower protections and believe they are anything but a PR exercise.

EDIT: Put another way: I'd believe those kind of whistle-blower protections are meaningful when we see these agencies admitting to past failures that have been brought up and taking proper responsibility and demonstrably taking steps to ensure better oversight. Until then, the safest assumption is that making use of any whistleblowing provisions they claim to have is at best ineffective, at worst dangerous.
For me and my wife that works basically the same, but I have found method to the madness.

1. She loves it when I come to save her when the tone of the spontaneous discussion is not to her liking and nothing kills said discussions faster then me participating.

2. When I strike it, my conversations tends to be very subject focused and will leave me and the other person smarter and more informed.

So what I do now is either I stand beside her and try to enjoy the (for me) meaningless chatter (I really like the high pitched voices of socially engaged people), or I will try to find that one other weirdo in the room who holds a ton of knowledge in an area that I'm completely blank about and suck as much as possible information out of them.

That is where my 35 years of continence improvement have led me. YMMV.
There is one crucial piece of data I was unable to find in the article, what memory size was Lambda set at?

For those unfamiliar with Serverless, you can choose how much RAM each function gets. Higher RAM costs more but also gives you a faster CPU. His Lambda functions are, on average, being billed for 500ms (according to one graphic).

If he is running with the base RAM allocation bumps it up he might see significantly faster performance and potentially billed for less.

Tuning lambdas and selecting the most optimal RAM (CPU) allocation is automatic with the help of tools provided by the community.

tl;dr Lambda is billed in 100ms increments and has configurable RAM. Higher RAM Lambda is more expensive but faster CPU. This can reduce your bill.
> Heroku is not Serverless in the modern definition of the word

Heroku seems to be serverless in the way cloud vendors, including Amazon, have been using it recently; it's not serverless in the sense that Amazon first introduced it, which was a synonym for Lambda. It's pretty similar to GAE, which is definitely within the current usage of “serverless”.
