Dehydrating Your Social Anxiety Tree
I would argue that the architectural implications of using a "run individual functions on a remote pool of computing resources and build your client application around this pattern and only pay for the exact amount of compute time you use" is not sufficiently covered by the term "managed". I think there could have perhaps been a better name than "serverless" chosen, but that's the name enough people have agreed on to use when talking about this specific architecture that it would be difficult to use another one.
Any time you are thinking it is time to change jobs, it is past time to change jobs.

Black Hat PPC: How Does Referral Code Fraud Work?
yes, the three worlds concept was actually invented by mao and has more to do with bloc alignment and less with economics. it is outdated and new terms are needed.
fact is, array indexing is pointer arithmetic.

And how do you for example index an array of 256 elements with one byte, with 1-based indexing?
Very interesting, and I'd never heard of Curry-Howard correspondence. I've also always wondered how dependent types worked conceptually (as in, what's going on there, what are we proving, etc).

Thanks for the insights and the links!
Cordova and react native are going to disappoint you for the same reasons.
Meh. If we allow serverless to make REST calls, is accessing a file system any different?

I had more trouble with the assertion that the embedded DB would be maintenance-free. I started a top level comment asking for someone to explain how that would work. The part of my brain that protects me from scams is screaming “something for nothing”.

By comparing to those with low incomes who don’t live near the highway?
> If you have a grocery store and you sell $100 of fruit, maybe $1 is profit. It makes sense to say you have a 1% return on investment.

Return on investment is something else. A grocery store will have sales well above the invested capital. The profit margin may be low-single-digit while ROI is double-digit.
Texas also has no income tax.
"the HL7 FHIR standard"

Which one? R4? STU3? -> http://hl7.org/fhir/directory.html

AFAIK, the different versions aren't compatible with each other. How will that affect this library?
You cannot.

A "validated" idea is product that someone will pay their hard-earned money for.

Moreover, the true cost of buying a product, is the actual integration into the current workflows, internal processes changes, etc.

Since most people only change when they must, they will not buy a product even if they approve it and like it.

Hence, before the product is ready, what you getting is only opinions.

And, there is also a scale issue, since to get a statistically significant answer, you would need a large sample.

I do not track that information, yet. But it is a cool idea and I think would make for some interesting insights: Will implement!
That is a great story, and I agree that it seems your son following your example. I have never seen a child successfully change a behavior that the parent refuses to change first, unless they have some kind of personal epiphany, which I've only really seen from teens or young adults that have just left home.

I have had the same experience in IT, it's brutal to have false accusations of system failures so causally thrown my way. (It's what got me to put GIT on all template editors) But it's also good experience to have so I don't repeat to back towards others because it feels so debilitating.

I appreciate the "desirable" part of your statement, as it certainly is better to give up on a false premise quickly than to try and defend it only to have fail on you later.

Is there a clever way of hooking SSDs to the SCSI ports of these old computers?
Are some/most of the operations O(n)? How practical is this database then?
Well, this turned out to be too long to post without pastebin.

To summarize the long post, fixing problems requires some knowledge of economics and psychology. Having confidence that you've identified the solution, and explained various strange quirks of human behavior, requires even more knowledge of psychology and which strategies can emerge in human society, but I didn't get into that. Basically, we can fix most problems except long-term energy sources by using this system:

"Work up to 24 hours each week is paid at 1.2 times the normal rate. Work after 24 hours is paid at 0.7 times the normal rate."
I wish I would have not fought the tools so much.

I started Android programming from the command line using make/ant and testing on a device because I didn't like Android Studio. This ended up wasting a lot of time and energy over the years as I had to integrate more 3rd party libraries (including Google's own crap).

Same thing for iOS. I didn't like building GUIs in Interface Builder so I did everything in code. Over time as iOS devices came in different sizes, this became harder to do properly. I should have given in early and learned to use Interface Builder, auto layout, etc.
From what I can see, none of these support multiple 4K monitors - how do people dock in situations like this? I’ve been using a USB-C eGPU with my multiple screens and Ethernet attached to that. Is there a cheaper way to do this?
Yes, this is what I was trying to say. It wasn't a thing people would throw around like a buzzword but if someone used it in conversation and especially in context (like the SQLite page, which was written over a decade ago, does) people would understand what you meant.
Sounds like there would be worse people than that.
Kobe Bryant reportedly killed in California helicopter crash
1. Why should this be wireless? Wires are a robust solution.

2. You'd need your monitor and your video source (computer, phone, whatever) to agree on a protocol. I know my Samsung TV could get signal from a Samsung phone, but my iPhone needs an adapter app. Maybe one day there could be a standard but don't hold your breath.
> No individual entity -- person, place or corporation -- needs a TLD.

The 'nobody needs' standard? That is what and how we think of things? Does anyone 'need' beer or football or 100,000 other things?

In a market system if you have money and if you have made money you can use that money to do things and buy things. It's not up to someone else (you, me or comments on HN) to determine that what we want to buy that we can legitimately buy is 'needed' or not.

Football is of ZERO interest or need to me. But I do recognize that others get pleasure from watching it.

You can't connect to the satellite via your end device, you need an antenna.

So, a regressive country can just control the import of such antennas.
Use a volume container mounted against a persistent storage engine on the node and do pod mounting from those containers. Stateful VMs are often a better choice for production imo.

I'm in favor of leveraging ISP dbaas and persistence offerings over trying to home grow something. It just depends on where you are coming from and/or what you are trying to do... K8s alone avoids so much lock in, and as long as whatever storage option (container mount) or dbaas you use is portable, I don't think it's so bad in either case.

I honestly too dislike all this naming fad and feel the internet’s been taken over by the management and marketting folk .. but still, i try not to hyperbole about it - too bad, but its sorta ok, and it ultimately irrelevant for the job, dbConnection is simply remote.
Billionaires still need the protection of a nation state. Their wealth would go away quickly if they had to finance an army. Maybe trillionaires can pull that off.
Servile? It's a genuine aspiration for them. India has a lot of corruption and replacement. Living in a beautiful stable place where you can have wealth and spend wealth without worry is a valuable goal.
How much support to you really need to offer to the free tier, though?

I.e. if you had 10,000 more free users and 10 more paid users, would that be a financial loss? It would be a gain for every product I've worked on.
Great feedback. Were you looking for your country in particular, or what would you like to do with a country-level sort?
True! My bad, seems I misread. Thanks for correcting me!
I realized how much I love Makefiles when I had to build a go project, dockerize it, push to registry, package it with helm, push to artifactory, and clean up all the mess what was created on the way. The way the already created (touched) artifacts are not created again makes working with Makefiles super easy. Yes, your $FAVORITE_BUILD_SYSTEM knows this too, but while that might not be installed on every host in your dev ecosystem, make is.

Another reason why I got to love make even more is because I didn't have to remember all these diferent tools parametrization, even better, the Makefile itself documented how to use these different parts of the tooling.

"But this should be done in your CI/CD, right?" and yes, it's right, until your colleagues also wan to test and build and dockerize and etc... on their localhost. I wrote the Makefile, tested it thoroughly and guess what, jenkins can also run make docker_image and make helm_package just as fine.

Makefile is an ooooooold but certainly not legacy technology. I haven't mastered it yet myself but it certainly saved already a lot of time and effort for me.
It depended. It suited a small cabled office with 10 to 15 computers fine. I saw such setups work fine for 12 years without corruption. But when wifi came along people started connecting that way, sometimes unintentionally, and corruption became an issue. So then we bit the bullet and moved the backend to a server database. Not a single database corruption since.
It's practical for many use cases where that doesn't matter. Keeping track of your personal book collection is good, your bank's online transaction processing system probably not.
Most satellite systems allow countries to block access. The first tier is refusing to sell to locals/local billing addresses (which is ALSO imposed by sanctions, e.g. due to USA, satcom vendors with any US connection don't sell to Iran/NK); the second tier is allowing countries to ban operation within their borders. There are tricks (what actually matters to the satellite is your exact delay, so there's a range of spots which look the "same", and you can spoof GPS or fake it in the firmware...), but that's more applicable to fixed C/Ku VSAT than it is to portable systems like Starlink.

I'd love it if the US gave Musk the diplomatic/military cover to make Starlink available globally, but we might end up with issues (ITU or jamming/military) if that happened. Might still be worth it though.

Depends on what you want... if you have a separate db project, you can have the output of that project be a clean database for testing other things, or a set of migration scripts for existing deployments.

I've been working on doing similar with containerized dababase servers for testing, while still having versioned scripts for prod (multiple separate deployments).

It appears that few companies have benefited financially as much as Apple Inc from literally decades of outside FOSS development (bsd etc).

Are new Apple software engineers still asked to sign a paper that they will not contribute to FOSS at any time during employment? Are they legally bound from discussing the existence of that agreement?
I know you've been in the music business for a few hundred years, Josquin, but there's no need to be so harsh about this undergrad poster!

The background material on transformations of sets of pitch classes is in the course textbook. (This doesn't take away from all the citations you helpfully provided, though.)

A CTO can go to jail for unethical and illegal behavior. But you are suggesting they be jailed for incompetence.

And considering the fact that no amount of competence will protect you from a sufficiently motivated and resourceful hacker, seems unfair.

Now if we come up with a framework and a security checklist that must be followed and certified by the CTO every quarter or something, and they don't do it, or lie, then sure, jail them.

I don't go to the movies as often.

For me, it's a combination of alternatives for free time, higher ticket prices, and disgust at the loud-mouthed arrogance of some of the performers.

> "Niagara Falls", or "Yosemite", or "Grand Canyon" and the US government protested

Not even close to being true. I have actually dealt with the US Government and have gotten explicit permission from them for something very similar. Official letter from the appropriate agency 'not restricted by anything feel free to use'.

Do you roughly know the relative ratios of emission for the sources?
Nuclear went through its economic, regulatory, and environmental challenges as its fleet sizes grew (at 20 GWe low-carbon generation/year for 12 years at its peak), and is still struggling. Intermittent renewables may have their own set of parallel issues. Exhibit A, of course, is [1]. As renewables scale today, we're scaling high-carbon fracked natural gas backup with them. That chicken probably will come home to roost as we continue in this ramp up.

Proponents say that the fracked gas that's inherently tied to intermittent sources is ok because it's a bridge and that the bridge is definitively better than low-carbon 24/7 nuclear. I think that statement is highly debatable.

Given how astronomical the challenge is (replace 84% of the world's energy with low-carbon alternatives, then scale up by 2-5x to allow energy impoverished areas to choose how they want to live their lives, then scale up more to start pulling carbon out of the atmosphere), we shouldn't put renewables against nuclear power.

We should be looking for low-carbon partnerships. Let's find ways to pair nuclear better with intermittent renewables so we don't have to build massive infrastructure of fracked gas.

You think China could make the US government make a private citizen censor the Internet in a different country?

1. Stopping trade with America would completely destroy China. They could bluff, but they have very little actual leverage. Their economy is hugely dependent on the US.

2. The US government is not really a fan the Great Firewall or of the Chinese government. It's unlikely it'd just be cowed into submission, especially with Trump in office.

3. Even if the government wanted to not upset China, I don't see how it could stop Starlink legally. You think a law would pass that would make it criminal to distribute uncensored information in China? There would be so much public outrage at that. I can't imagine either party supporting it at all. Plus, I can easily imagine that being struck down as unconstitutional. It would spend forever in the courts at the least.

4. Even if it did pass, Starlink would just move to Canada or South Africa or somewhere before it services China. In no scenario can Musk lose his billions. The US loses half its space economy, but there's no mechanism to take his money or to actually stop Starlink.
I give you my take.

1. VC funding is down, since there is not a lot of VC. VC get pitched by 2000 startups a year, and choose 2. I.e. getting a VC founding is actually an anomaly.

2. Right, this should be much higher. I.e. to be successful you should dig where the gold is, not where you want.

3. See my prev answer, there is no point in wasting time validating since the answer does not reflect reality. If you can get pre-orders than sure. but just hearing someone's opinion on something?

5. Why would you offer a free plan, do you get free housing?
I'm playing rhetoric and you fell for it with the exact reaction I was expecting. Iron ore is iron ore, blame the ones who used its produce to harm your ancestors.

I guess you could do some real time analysis and note that the number of people passing through this or that segment has dropped suspiciously below what it averages for that day of the week, time of day, etc.

Which actually might be useful for other types of road closures like construction, so maybe not an unreasonable goal to aim for.
