Egress traffic cost is massively higher on both AWS and GCP.

Instances of comparable power are somehow more expensive on both AWS and GCP.

Also, simplicity; AWS IAM is mightily complicated, things like Cloud Formation are totally non-trivial, etc. You can get going more easily with simple and moderately complex setups on Linode or DO.

Of course, AWS, GCP, and Azure have much bigger infrastructure, several availability zones, a lot of managed software (object storage, various databases, queues, email gateways, docker hubs, etc) which smaller players don't provide, or can't provide at the fault tolerance level which big players are able to offer. Something like AWS Aurora is hugely internally redundant to withstand link problems, node outages, etc transparently. If you want a thing like that, managing it yourself takes serious chops, and money.
Right, and clearly the most important moral issue of our time is that electrons might be suffering. /s
I'm reluctant to use non-standard settings that the intellij team may not be optimizing for.
So the donation goes to the foundation while its gender bias comes from its editors - who already don't get paid so stopping donations will not matter.

If anything, the Foundation will need to run programs to fix the status quo (e.g. outreach programs to potential authors who come from underrepresented groups or likely to write about underrepresented topic), so donating money (in addition to volunteering for outreach programs or contributing tech support) are some ways to help with that.
Modern recessions are caused by 2 things: 1) Some very inflated assest class being spread out among a large number of folks suddenly failing or 2) the fear of 1) happening, which can lead to a self fulfilling prophecy. Since we’ve always seen recessions in the past, nobody believes we can achieve sustained economic growth... and they are mostly right. If enough people believe there is a recession they will start behaving in ways that ironically contribute to the recession.

What’s really protecting us from recession today, in my humble opinion, is that all of humanity is so interconnected and so hates recession that we’re willing to help out others who are on the brink of disaster of limit their failures to a small region rather than let it blow up in everybody’s face.

Also... small layoffs are not necessarily an indicator of recession, they can also be course corrections by overly optimistic companies whose wildly grandiose plans didn’t pan out as planned. While these well known businesses lay-off folks, my inbox is flooded by recruiters looking to fill multiple positions in a bevy of startups. In other words, business as usual.

Can these videos be directly linked like via a byte.co url? Or is it all trapped in an app? I explored it a bit on Android but couldn't figure out how to just share a link, not download and encode the thing.
Yes, it is about revenue, but I bet they honestly were surprised, at least at the magnitude of the pushback.

This is a very public embarrassment for a number of people - you don't intentionally risk this sort of thing. The most likely explanation is that they expected people like me to grumble but the vast majority to not mind. They were wrong.

> Without major changes all over the company I don’t see how Google will get better.

Agree with this. And major changes don't come without major systemic shock.
The first paper you mention (on measuring the prevalence of questionable research practices with incentives for truth telling) was especially timely since 2012 was one year after Drazen's program with the defense contracting partner was reported to federal prosecutors for misconduct.

By the way, not at all surprised that the paper found such a high rate of dishonesty in psychological research. After all, Drazen earned his PhD in the same department at Harvard University where now-disgraced evolutionary biologist Marc Hauser was forced to resign after admitting to fabricating data, manipulating experimental results, and publishing falsified findings.

The defense contractor considered hiring Hauser as a consultant on a different problem not long before it was reported in the news that his office had been raided by authorities:

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/14/education/14harvard.html

The defense contractor unfortunately didn't act fast enough, because based on an investigation into that program, Hauser would have probably fit right in! Ironic too that Hauser was also the author of a popular best-seller entitled Moral Minds: The Nature of Right and Wrong :)

At the time of the raid, Hauser was already well known to students on the Harvard campus on account of his support for this salacious Harvard first:

Share, copy, and edit icons. While I'm not a big fan of it, it probably fits the frequency and relative friction of interactions on mobile better than the previous UI.

You cannot hard stop billing, at least that i have found. So keeping to a hard budget on AWS/GCP is not possible, be careful.
I keep waiting for someone to realize Bay Area rents have gone up 100%-200% since 2008, but the max unemployment in CA is still $450 per week. I was laid off in 2009, and between that and severance, I could manage. It's going to be a lot harder in the next recession.
Amazon Lightsail launched way after Linode and DO have been established in the low-cost segment, and it was slightly more expensive than Linode and DO when it launched. It appears they've lowered their prices again in order to capture the market but mind share is still low.
I am still using some archaic shit like Linq-to-SQL, so VS tooling is still helpful. Otherwise, I would gladly swap over.
> Okay I didnt see that. But why is this necessary?

Probably because URL copy or share (the two icons besides edit than the new UI provides) are more common interactions than URL editing, and are (without a keyboard and with a traditional text edit control for the URL bar) higher friction; this streamlines the common usecases at the cost of adding an extra tap for URL editing.
After many tries at ddg, I am using startpage.com since it uses anonymized google results. Still far from perfect, but the best I have found for now.
After your seed round this simply doesn’t hold up. If you’re making money the upside of the modern cloud is absurd, and cloud-to-cloud portability is a design pattern choice. There is zero lock-in with appropriate architecture decisions.
It’s not just about seeing you, it’s about seeing everyone around you too. ATC’s job is to separate aircraft and they can’t do that if they can’t see non-ADS-B aircraft. In fact just today I overheard an approach controller vector an American Airlines jet around VFR traffic at 1700’. That VFR traffic was in “non-rule” airspace, where ADS-B isn’t required. (I saw the jet and the VFR traffic from my cockpit.) They won’t be able to do that without radar.
You’ve been able to do this with ctags for a long time, which is also the only way you’re ever going to get goto def and dec in a large project like the Linux kernel. Vim even has built in goto, search, etc for ctags.

But really, if an IDE is allowing you to write code you can’t understand without the IDE that’s a bad thing. Forcing yourself into a situation where you have to compartmentalize is going to make you a better programmer and lead to better code.
This might just be a post-holiday rush. It's a dick move to lay people off between ~Nov 15 and Jan 1, and if you can afford to avoid it, it's best to avoid burning people affected and making the remaining employees a little more bitter and anxious.

Yup. Just when I finally gave in and made a user with a backup email it turns out they're also demanding I download their app?
I definitely would've created an account long ago, with my regular Gmail, if they didn't demand it from me. And probably have their app too. But now I'm just determined to not give in further.

And yes, I get they're doing it because it presumably works better on aggregate than not being assholes. That just makes me hate it even more.

Quora just makes me irrationally pissed off. I realize my dislike is over the top, some of the content isn't terrible, I'd love for the basic format to somehow work out, but the package is somehow worse than Trump tweeting and I sincerely hope it fails as soon as possible.

From what I've read, "solid medical infrastructure" doesn't exist in Wuhan.

The carbon emitted in human breathing came from the food, and the carbon in the food came from the atmosphere. It's a closed cycle. It doesn't matter if it's a billion or two, an identical amount of carbon had to be captured first.

I’m not willing to pay anything. The internet was built on good will, fun, and generally good intent.

Now that it’s a mechanism of commerce it’s attracted the worst of the worst who have no ethics. Ethics courses will be taught in response to bad actors, not in anticipation of.

I’m aware the cats out of the bag and all of the high paid engineers need to make a living somehow. I just don’t think it’s about the consumer anymore, if it ever was. It will get worse before it gets better and I’m checking out.

I’m an older engineer and going to school for HVAC/R. I plan to do it on the side and eventually start a business. I’m pulling the rip cord.

One thing I will say about the blue collar world: they’re better about ego management. Many young engineers I meet are highly paid and treated well, sometimes rarely disagreed with. I can’t help but think that fosters some bad habits.

You should should loudly at the state of California for still paying a max of $450 per week for unemployment.

If you're playing the startup game, you're trading job security and pay for potential upside. I know people who've been burnt just as bad as a layoff because the company got sold for scraps. Don't expect big company benefits out of a startup; that's not how the game works.

> mind share is still low.

I can tell that - many people in this thread are using “AWS” as though it’s synonymous with “EC2”.
Sure, love the reference. I studied analytic philosophy and Russell is one of my favorite philosophers.

I'm quite fond of his version:

"We know that all these rather crude expectations of uniformity are liable to be misleading. The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken."

Notably, Russell does not abandon induction in that work, he seems to retreat to a probabilistic, almost Bayesian conception of it (along with a resignation that it seems the best we can do, but a passionate closing defense that it's good enough).

I'm very comfortable with that same probabilistic confidence approach here. (Hence the "bet" language.)

Humanity has frequently abandoned scarce resources upon discovering superior substitutes, while seldom abandoning them through exhaustion. Theories of economics and measures of human progress, while not being ironclad rules, provide rough explanations as to why this keeps happening.

So, sure, happy to concede it is not a foregone conclusion that humanity will always outgrow scarce resources. Nothing is ever 100% certain. But our certainty should generally increase with our observations of a trend, so it seems highly probable for any particular case.

It remains generally unwise to bet against all well established trends, the mere possibility of wrung necks notwithstanding.

Or, as Russell closed the work:

"That some risk of error remains must be admitted, since human beings are fallible. Philosophy may claim justly that it diminishes the risk of error, and that in some cases it renders the risk so small as to be practically negligible. To do more than this is not possible in a world where mistakes must occur; and more than this no prudent advocate of philosophy would claim to have performed. "

Certainly... It was more of a if you're on AWS and you attract a volumetric attack, it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg.

Maybe you could run www on AWS and your real service somewhere with reasonable prices for traffic. In my experience, people who randomly DDoS tend to hit www rather than useful parts of a service.
I think they couldn't care less about lists. They are super annoying to access and ever since the last update which brought the mobile layout to desktop you can't even create a new list from the "add to list" screen anymore.

Sadly the entire update still feels half-baked and not thought-through and given that it's been months I don't feel too optimistic. There's so many small things that worked fine before and are just missing completely or broken now. It's a shame because I've been using Twitter for a decade but it's hardly useable now.
So the standard type of mathematical model that's used to describe early stage epidemics (such as this one) basically assume exponential growth.

It's hard to get the math to stop doing that when a disease reaches a non-exponential stage. That's why you got some bonkers predictions for Ebola - if you let an exponential model run for a year, it's always going to be bad.
A handful of websites claim to offer pups from this specific colony as pets, which sounds wonderful. Though it's hard to validate they weren't just taken from a fur farm (thus not actually tame).

Shutting down all transit and public gatherings for one of the biggest cities in China plus surrounding areas reaching 20M is quite a significant response, during the busiest and most important holiday of the year, is it not?
100% agree. I feel like you could do the same with a mocking library and good abstractions. At the end of the day, you still have to simulate the backend API. I would love to see front end developers adopt Domain Driven Design.

I always thought gravity was much more attractive.
The main limitation to the AI governor model, which has been tried in many games to varying success, is that the solver necessary to make them play like an optimal player tends to start encompassing more and more parts of the game mechanics as you add in tricks like "use a worker to rush production" or "plan improvements to coincide with tech advances". The player, likely to be of a controlling or anxious mindset, will reject the idea that these details can be left up to an unaware AI, and given the option to do so they will micro-manage the fun out of the game.

When the game has relatively few options that can be played to a high depth, like Chess, of course, it's easy to write such a competent AI with a brute-force approach. But that's usually not how 4X games are structured: there are a ton of decisions involving overlapping timers and resource bonuses and force committments, and so the top-end strategy revolves around leveraging everything in a just-so way to accelerate growth and minimize losses.

The move towards lower micro and symmetric balancing in newer games has the upside of downplaying much of this; your advantage, where you get one, is much less likely to come from careful micro employed to replicate a 50% advantage in a single scenario hundreds of times, and AI benefits as well. But it also loses some of the charm of weirdly unbalanced 90's strategy.

I'd like to get my friends and family on Signal or Riot but I can't get anyone to use them.

Everyone uses SMS (or talks about using Whatsapp but might or might not actually). I was using Google Hangouts long before Whatsapp or Signal started being taken up and now they assume that's what I'd prefer, like that's how I should be communicated with, even when I'd prefer something else.

It's strange.

They are very likely real and OVH has a very good system. You can thank them for making free DDoS protection mainstream, dragging all other hosts kicking and screaming into providing DDoS protection.

In the past providers like Linode were happy to just null route your IP for several hours/days or charge you thousands to block a small flood.
How is this the best/most flexible approach? What if you decide to move from REST to GQL? GQL to websockets? By mocking the HTTP endpoint you’re too low in the stack. At that point, I feel like you might have better success with using the actual backend and swap out the DB with mock data.

It sucks because they took all of the game modes that you could play for free and then are willing to sell them back to you in Tetris 99.

Also I don't really follow any Tetris forums or anything so I don't know how people reacted when it shut down but I was amazed it shut down since they sold mtx skins and I assume that they didn't transfer any of it to Tetris 99.
Ask HN: TS: Why isn't union type in object field extracted to out of the object?
I think these type should be equal:

{ a: string | undefined }
{ a: string } | { a: undefined }

These mean same set of values. And if these are equals, the following works:

Exclude<{ a: string | undefined }, { a: string }> // => { a: undefined }

But it don't work as I expected. Because { a: string | undefined } is not { a: string } | { a: undefined }.

If it works, Exclude<A, B> could be considered as subtraction of set in mathematical context.
I think there is big deals if these types are equals. Why not?
And please tell me related GitHub issues if you know.

There is no other reason, than their desire to "herd" uesrs, why they could not have the additional options to share/copy and have it behave like any other edit control, i.e. you can tap the other icons to copy or share, and more importantly still start editing it without going an extra step.
