In this case, it's a Perl concept related to DWIM (Do What I Mean), where the features will make practical assumptions about what you need to accomplish in their implementation, so you don't have to worry about the details. It can be abused (and is) but is also very useful for quick oneliners in particular.

Not to be confused with the Perl feature called magic, where functionality can be attached to a variable to affect what happens whenever it is accessed. Though this is often used to implement the former concept.

The Strand used to be fantastic when it was just a gigantic used book store, but ever since it started focusing more on new books its become a shadow of its former self. So I can't say I'd miss it nearly as much now as I would have 20 years ago.

Ya, certainly. I mean, I think the most regressive part of the system that almost nobody talks about is the fact that unrealized capital gains compound untaxed. People focus a lot on the differential treatment of long term capital gains vs income, but I think that mostly misses the point. The real wealth building effect from capital gains comes from allowing them to compound completely untaxed for decades, if the gains are never realized. Unfortunately there's not any obvious workaround for that that doesn't have serious negative consequences.

I work in a corporate environment and I also write software -- both external and internal tools. My intolerance to unnecessary pain is one of the main driving forces in creating software-based tools.

The amount of pain inflicted on employees by enterprise solutions of various kinds is immeasurable. As a developer, I squirm witnessing so much unnecessary work and discomfort associated with simple tasks.

For example, even in 2020, managing expenses is so painful that employees consider not expending their spending.

Ok, we all know how a key-value store is not competitive with the current SQL db's. But lets remember all of this NOSQL trend started with the SQL databases being a poor fit for a distributed environment back in the day.

By the way, what i would actually love to have, is a LINQ like API abstracted over a key-value store, and access to a SQL AST also in the language.. For me i think this is the desired middle ground, where you can scale and compose data over key-value, but also not to be stuck with SQL data mappings inside your codebase.

I mean, a relational algebra API that deal with any KV store, be it LINQ or the backend of something like Presto (or the DataFrame of Spark).

If you need something like a SQL interface somewhere, you could build it by stitching the SQL AST with the engine you use directly in the language.
The only mentioned cost is that they can't change the sign without review.

Or the politicians are not criminals, and this tool erroneously categorized 26 of them as such.

And that's based only on what we know. The experiment may have given rise in state leaders to more fundamental objections.

Consider, what if the 26 misidentified politicians, were largely black or hispanic males?

We just need to know more about what's been happening in all the testing to say whether these systems are useful or not. That's all I'm saying.

This isn't the customer's choice. The customer does not want this.

As the article talks about, AWS Elasticsearch isn't actually elastic. On standard Elasticsearch, you can add and remove nodes at will and it will automatically handle rebalancing. AWS Elasticsearch can't do that. It has to spin up a new cluster of the desired size, copy everything over, and then turn off the old cluster. That is a form of blue/green deploy.

> So why wouldn't you reserve 2x?

Why would you want to pay double all the time because AWS can't use Elasticsearch correctly? AWS should foot the bill to ensure that everything works properly within their broken implementation when something requires the cluster to be duplicated and redeployed, not the customers.

> Or switch to a AB like deploy?

To reiterate: this isn't their choice. AWS forces this inefficient methodology on users of AWS Elasticsearch, which is why the article strongly recommends against using AWS Elasticsearch.
I think the current plan is for them to talk to the satellites directly? One of the reasons they're trying to get the costs of the antennas down to ~$300.
100% this. I do a lot of small automations against various API's (or sometimes against systems that don't API's at all) and have used this same workflow many times.

Also handy because even well documented API's don't have examples in every language, but most do have examples in curl. So you can easily take those example curl's and dump them out to something programatic in your language.

Advanced, not master. The low hanging fruit is going from novice to intermediate, progressing to advanced requires more effort, and mastering is the really difficult part.
When I worked at a Fortune 500 company, even finding someone capable of creating a good UX was difficult. We used ServiceNow for our CMDB, and since Infra "owned" that, our customizations were done by SysAdmins that were "repurposed" into devs through the course of like a month long training with ServiceNow, despite them having never done any development.

The result was that our ServiceNow pages were horribly long to load. The "devs" complained that it was because ServiceNow's database was slow, and said ServiceNow said they couldn't make it any faster. I did like 30 seconds of digging and found out that every. single. Javascript request. was made synchronously. The reason it took 7 seconds for a page to load was because it had to execute a series of like 15 HTTP calls to get data to load the page, and each one was waiting for the one before it. The library they were using even exposed the methods with a name something like `synchronousGet`.

I don't think ServiceNow could have possibly returned results fast enough for that to not be painful. The requests had to go over WAN, there was like 100ms of latency just on the network connection. Even if ServiceNow's response was instant, we're still talking about a couple of seconds to execute that many requests.

My takeaway was that at most Fortune 500 companies, the perks aren't generally great (pay is lower than a lot of tech companies, the perks are generally few) and it's hard to get fired. So those who excel will move on to greener pastures with better pay/perks, and low performers are difficult to get rid of. Through attrition, you gradually end up with an employee base mostly made up of those who can't or won't move elsewhere, who do silly things like design architectures that are fundamentally incapable of HA, or writing webapps with entirely synchronous Javascript. Not that there aren't exceptional people within those organizations, however the IT department is defined by the majority, not by its most competent member.

What about some sort of open-company (the kind ethereum promised us w/ dapps), where the company is basically owned by employees and customers. The more hours you put in as an employee / volunteer the more you get back. But even dedicated customers would get stock for purchases, reviews, etc...

It would encourage an ecosystem by giving the majority of $$ back to empoloyees and customers but would organically build out some of the nice-to-haves that Amazon has like a shipping network, and warehousing of goods, and one-place-shopping/comparisons.

You're right. I find Rust code much harder to comprehend. But the sigils and the arrow operator are kind of annoying. I think Ruby fixed most of Perl's annoyances and created new ones.
This, to me, seems largely a superset of Google's style guide. There is some specific guidance for working with channels, mutexes, and atomics. My impression from my time at Google was that the Go team really expects you to never use mutexes and atomics, preferring goroutines for all synchronization. Sometimes that is impractical, though.
Most (all?) European countries have similar accident investigators who likewise produce reports focused on Prevention Of Future Harm. In the UK these are MAIB (Maritime Accidents, ie boats) RAIB (Rail) and AAIB (Air)

For example:

https://www.gov.uk/maib-reports/grounding-of-general-cargo-v...

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/report-132019-fatal-accid...

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/aaib-report-guimbal-cabri...

As with NTSB investigations a critical legislative intervention is that accident investigations are NOT evidence for a civil court. That means witnesses have one less reason to be trying to cover anyone's backsides and lie to an investigator.

Unfortunately you see in that MAIB example however, it isn't always enough. It's nothing short of astonishing how often a sole watch keeper on a big ship is somehow unware of where the ship is - almost exactly as though they were asleep, and the BNWAS (a device to alarm the rest of the crew when the bridge isn't paying attention, e.g. because they're fallen asleep) is for some reason not working or its logging is disabled. But I don't remember once reading in these reports that an officer confessed "Yeah, I was asleep".
> "What shocked me was that you have to give away all your daughters at some moment,

How is this shocking? The Chinese, for example, practiced until recently strict exogamous marriage whereby women were always married off outside the clan and men always stayed home. Women were forbidden to have contact with their biological family after marriage; in a sense their entire identity, including their lineage, became that of the clan they married into. It's similar to adoption in that regard, in the sense that in traditional East Asian cultures you don't distinguish adopted children from "blood" relations.

Such practices, while not universal, could be found around the world, AFAIU. It's a well known social pattern, which is why it's odd to hear it characterized as shocking.
Please, having “some” money certainly doesn’t make you a ruler.
Definitely agree about the loss of precision. It's also a problem for machine readability and SEO. The solution I like is using the HMTL5 <time> element for semantic markup of timestamps. If you do something like this:

<time datetime="2019-10-11T13:53:36.861" title="Fri Oct 11 2019 13:53:36 GMT-0700">2 minutes ago</time>

Then you get what in my opinion is the best of both worlds: machine readable timestamp in the datetime field, human-friendly detailed timestamp as a tooltip (the title field shows when you hover over the element), and relative time as the default display. Bonus points if your React component or ERB template or whatever switches from relative time format to absolute for the inner text when the timestamp is older than a day or so.
I agree that's a problem, I mention that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21227195

However I think we need to weight that risk with the risk that future suicides will occur for the same reason as the first, not inspired by the first, if the circumstances that lead to the first suicide are left unresolved. Addressing those circumstances means having an honest discussion about what happened, which can only happen if people are allowed to talk about it.

(Obviously glorification/etc of the suicide should be strictly off limits. There need to be guardrails on the discussion to mitigate risk.)

Did you try tags? If you have I'm interested in what you might have to say about them.

I liked Gmail originally because it used tabs. I have seldom had an email that was permanently tagged with more than one tag, but I have imagined having files in a filesystem with multiple tags. Bloggers commonly use tags but I don't know if they're successful.

On a filesystem where tags were not native, you could implement tags as subdirectories, using symlinks to achieve that the same file had multiple paths giraffes/history.html and history/giraffes.html.

You didn't chastise the poster of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21215968 for his disingenuous cherry-picking and condescending, flamebait accusations of using weasel words. But you ban this account for calling him out on his deception and lies.

Oh, but no one "flagged" his comment, so you probably didn't see it, right? That's always your excuse: you can't see everything, so you act on what other users flag.

Well, guess what, the users who flag things are disingenuous. So when you act on what's flagged and not on what the flaggers approve of, you act in an unfair, biased way.

It's two-faced for you to accuse me of causing "informational heat death" when you do nothing about the comment I linked. It should be you calling him out for that, not me; but here I am doing your job, and you ban my account and do nothing to his. Shamefully dishonest of you. An excellent example of HN moderators' bias.

You need not worry about death, because this place is walking dead. It's dead at heart, because lies can only rally people for so long. As more people find out the truth about HN, they will find and make alternatives.

Emscripten does use some WASI APIs already, both normally and especially in standalone mode [1].

But yeah, for now WASI and wasm don't provide enough to do things like C++ exceptions, longjmp, etc., so Emscripten supports them using non-WASI APIs.

Native exception handling for wasm is being worked on. If we don't want to wait for that, we could do exceptions using Asyncify [2]. But since we have the JS+wasm option for now, and native support coming, that's maybe not worth it.

I'm not sure what gave you the idea that just because Mojolicious is Perl, it would have "a pile of corner cases" while a "simple nodejs app" wouldn't. Mojolicious is built from the ground up to be effortlessly asynchronous and performant and handle all common needs. Don't punish it for the horrible CGI.pm that has been removed from core Perl.

Yes, Perl's threading support is terrible, and I do wish it was as effortless as in Raku. But you'd be surprised how often you actually only need an event loop and non-blocking implementations, and for the rest of the time there's Mojo::IOLoop->subprocess or IO::Async::Function to provide a thread-like model with efficient forking.
That's the right way of doing it IMO. I've got a PoC script which finds the minimum subset of permissions to allow some action: https://github.com/KanoComputing/aws-tools/blob/master/bin/a...

Haven't had time to productise it yet. I think doing this makes you quite a bit safer, because it means you don't end up giving up and allowing more than you need. However, you still need to understand which actions shouldn't be allowed, so it's not the whole solution.
