Exactly. These examples are mostly apples to oranges comparisons. I have worked over 20 years in OPS and it is really hard to do cheaper than AWS ____in the long run___. If you are unlucky and bought a batch of SSDs that are faulty exactly 1 month after warranty expires or you have downtime because of other low-level reasons that AWS shields you from, your co-loc cost can quickly go up. I don't even want to go into networking hoops, that is a whole different problem to deal with global network vendors. If you can be sure you never run into these, or your business is resiliant to these sort of problems, or you have a dedicated highly skilled team (like dropbox) than co-loc might be a good idea. Otherwise it is pretty damn hard.

Thank you! Modules and vendoring has been a royal pain. This should help a lot.

Holy crap. "Works great" doesn't do it justice. I'm on mobile and I was not expecting a buttery-smooth, photorealistic, flawlessly erogonomic multitouch experience with an abundance of advanced powertools like section analysis. That thing would be one of the most impressive apps I've ever seen, never mind Web Apps!

No that's not how I read it at all. A museum doesn't originate anything, they get donations. "You may need someone else's permission" because the Smithsonian doesn't guarantee that noone else in the world has a (good or bad) IP claim to one of the donations.

That's the kind of guarantee that you will never get unless you pay for it.
This is typical for many people. You love pre-college math because you have intuitive understanding, while college-level maths offer a new level of abstraction that you may not feel familiar with from the get-go.

It's perfectly okay not to learn linear algebra, by the way, especially when you don't find any incentive to do so. Otherwise, you'll find linear algebra to be one of the most intuitive tools to model so many problems.

If you do want to learn linear algebra or any other higher math, I'd strongly recommend you focus on understanding concepts intuitively first, to the point that you find many exercises in a text book straight forward. Watching 3blue1brown is a good start, but do move forward with deeper treatment. The book I find very usual is David Lay's Linear Algebra and Its Applications: https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Its-Applications-5th/d.... Lay sets up a really intuitive geometric framework to explain the intuition of linear transformation with sufficient rigor.

> Android keeps an on-disk cache, performing native compilation at installation time, or at first startup after an OS update.

If you’re describing what I think you’re describing, that was a Dalvik thing (Android 4.4 and earlier), which ART (Android 5 onwards) doesn’t do. I also found it a pain, because from time to time even when there hadn’t been an OS update or any other such change my phone would take three or four minutes longer to boot up as it decided it had to optimise all its packages. No idea whether that was a typical experience.

> With autopilot engaged, I am monitoring everything - probably with more accuracy then if I was driving, due to the decreased cognitive load.

Almost every study on human behavior contradicts this. When you have no load, your monitoring and responsiveness gets poorer, not better. (Now, you can certainly go to the other extreme and get overloaded, with the same effect).

You may have a _perception_ that you're doing better, because you feel like you're glancing around a lot, and consider that equivalent to "monitoring", but most likely you're admiring / distracted by scenery, and you wouldn't have those immediate reaction times that (remember) you're meant to have, even with Autopilot engaged.
Patching Nvidia GPU driver for hot-unplug on Linux (2018)
Firebase is fantastic. There is also a steady drumbeat of continual improvements going on in Firebase that keeps making it better and better.

Even when Firebase is using other GCP products under the hood (e.g. Firebase Storage is Cloud Storage and Firebase Functions are Cloud Functions) they often provide a better developer experience that makes things flow smoother. For example, having a Firebase Function running on a schedule is a just an added line in your functions config whereas running a Cloud Function on a schedule requires setting up a Cloud Scheduler Job and linking everything together with PubSub.
Good questions. You remind me of some of the arguments against wearing a helmet on a bike. In particular, real studies show that automobile drivers are more careful in the presence of bikers without helmets - that is, if you're wearing a helmet, drivers are more careless around you.
Mozilla is only enabling DoH through Cloudflare by default in the US.
I agree if the point is that this might increase the reach of such technologies. But if you are thinking about traffic coming from sources different than your browser then why would they be unable to open a connection on hardcoded IPs?

Also VPN sniffing can be arbitrarily hard, for example if I remember correctly tools like https://www.softether.org/ are designed to work around the Chinese internet firewall.

From my point of view DoH add nothing outside the browser.
There’s lots of liability involved with housing people and a reason why it’s not sustainable to offer prices lower than what you can find.
A simple minimum insurance (liability only) is around $150/y almost regardless of vehicle here while a full insurance (theft, damage, ...) is 10x that and obviously can be a lot more expensive than that if the car is expensive.

I wouldn’t even shop around if only buying the liability insurance because it costs like 2 tanks of gas anyway.

The behaviour you found out is an inheritage from the good old Windows Phone 7.

In my experience, there are many Modi apologists on HN. In a recent thread about people being prosecuted for using VPNs, they were out in full force justifying the effective house arrest of several million people and the suspension of basic human rights like Habeas Corpus.

And sure enough, they achieved their goal on that thread too - it was flagged and removed from the front page within hours. We shouldn't allow anything that tarnishes the reputation of our Dear Leader.

You don't even have to go find the original thread. The Modi apologists are on this thread too. See if you can spot the person justifying murdering Muslims for the crime of eating beef.
I can't speak for others but I've been homeless a few times (but I did have my car to live in, badly as it was full of my "stuff" had to sleep upright)

The thing is, after the first few days, first week, you are not yourself anymore, your sleep is terrible, your thinking is beyond rational, beyond logical, every day is just searching for simple patterns for survival, for moments of peace.

Some people, not everyone, seem to think homeless can pull themselves out of it with enough resources. It doesn't work like that and sometimes it's not even for lack of motivation to not be homeless. You get caught in a web, it's a descent into someone not yourself anymore.

Sanders is not someone I would vote for in a primary but I am curious to see if he does become president if he tries to make a dent in not just reducing national homelessness in this country but preventing it in the first place which is an equally good idea if not even more important.
You’re right since digital content cannot be stolen, but it is well documented that some of the accounts are “used” via phishing, brute forcing and zero day exploits on the university/library’s platform, which is perhaps what GP meant.

We never sold anything for it, but for some demos back around 2004/2005 we flashed some firewire iPods with custom firmware that performed the attack described here:

(To be clear, those slides aren't mine, but I can no longer find the firmware we based ours off of, and never did get permission to post source to our mods, which were never distributed.)

I know a couple of our customers took entirely the wrong lesson from our demonstrations and banned mp3 players from their office buildings entirely afterwards :)
It's an option.

Though I didn't just mean patches from "contribute", it could also mean voice/ideas/discussion: instead of pseudonymously complain on HN, there's Feedback Hub and GitHub Issues. As an option that's available.
This sounds like exactly the sort of feature that usually triggers an online Lynch mob when it's Mozilla doing it: It's not part of the core feature set people expect from a browser, and it seems eminently possible to do it in a plugin?

I also find the self-acclaimed "Brave" browser company an odd partner to work with for an organisation dedicated to the open web like IA. This browser has exactly one purpose: to make money. In terms of the people working on it, it's arguably more commercial than Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

The proposition "Brave" is making is: "Don't you also feel what this world needs is an intermediary between you and the people creating what you like, skimming from both sides whenever money is involved?"
Who cares. People like to be a part of a team. I was a noogler for a little while. The little propeller cap is on a shelf a few feet behind me as i type this. I was in my 40's but it was the first time i was part of a tribe at work and it felt kind of good (despite being old and 'kind of weird' relative to the rest).

I quit before i graduated so i guess it wasn't that special, but i think it's overall a positive thing (if managed well).
I understand what you are saying. I am unable to back it up or refute it from my personal experience. I do not know Clojure well enough.

I do know from personal experience that programming in a familiar environment is significantly more productive than programming in an unfamiliar one. And that many, many programmers have mistaken their personal productivity for the productiveness of the environment.

This is one of the causes of a lot of "holy wars". Because everything from indentation style, to operating system, to text editor, to language feels critical. And indeed is...for the programmer who hasn't learned how to switch between these things.

If someone had an oracle that could give us the answer, I would happily take an even money bet that something of this at least contributes to how much you prefer Clojure.

I also agree with you that there is a lot of personal taste and way of thinking involved. And furthermore that our opinions usually match whatever environment(s) we imprinted on. (In the interests of full disclosure, my background is math, Perl and relational databases.)
I think they do?

I’ve definitely enabled/disabled the tiles on an individual basis. I just don’t recall whether it’s universally available to all programs, or a particular subset.
I used to think this, my problem was that I wasn’t doing the exercises, instead just reading articles and watching videos and trying to get some kind of theoretical understanding. Everything makes a lot more sense once you’ve slogged through a bunch of repeated exercises.
This would just be obnoxious and impractical, like not having your own washer and dryer.
I still don't understand why companies like Microsoft and Google hire folks from Oracle to run a cloud business. Oracle is the only player that can't do anything on the cloud; even IBM has a better game.
You don't understand.

When autopilot gives up in a plane, the PIC will respond in seconds. But anything dangerous is typically minutes or at least tens of seconds away from happening at that moment, if at all.

When tesla 'autopilot' gives up in a car, the driver may have less than a second before a collision. Or worse, as we've seen with the 'tesla tries to drive into a barrier' cases, the 'autopilot' might not give up at all and just straight up try to murder you with the only safety remaining being your own attention to the situation.

The fundamental problem with <99.99% reliable autonomous driving is that the driver's attention is guaranteed to stray due to lack of stimulation, and their reaction time will be at ~3s whereas the impeding crash might be only 0.3s away. In that regard, it's much better to just be manually driving and have your attention on the road.

And the consumer flip side of this is, what the fuck is the point of a self driving car if it requires you to fully pay attention and be ready to intervene at any given moment on such short notice? Waymo observed that their test drivers get bored and tired really quickly when operating like that, due to the simultaneous lack of stimulation but need to be able to take over on short notice. The answer is that SAE level 2 autonomy shouldn't be labelled as self driving because it isn't.

Tesla 'autopilot' is an over-marketed lane-keeping cruise control system which has virtually no chance of ever becoming SAE level 3. Tesla marketing has mislead a significant percentage of owners that they're in fact buying a level 3 system, which is why various regulators across the world are cracking down on Tesla now.

Disclosure: I own Tesla stock.

Hiring 700 "mostly engineer" employees in a year!

I pride myself as an "operator" and have worked in businesses that have scaled quickly but it is unimaginable how one doubles the highly compensated / hard to find employee count in a year at that scale.

In an economy where excess labor of that quality is non-existent.

That's an average of almost 3 people a work day you need to recruit away from probably another high income role, getting them to show up, get devtools opened, build and manage security clearances, trying to integrate into the org, etc.
DNS traffic is a much richer and more valuable resource than a simple list of IP sessions.

> legal sports betting is a $155B market growing at 8% annually in the US

Not only in the US. If I'm not mistaken all the Premier League clubs outside the top 6 had betting companies as their main t-shirt logos last season, and we're talking about the most watched football league in the world (and definitely the one where the most money is involved). Things are pretty much the same wherever else you look in Europe. Betting has destroyed football (its corrupt officials helped in that, too, but that's a different story).
I'm not from the US, so excuse my ignorance.

I was under the impression that US federal law trumps state law. Is this not the case? And wouldn't that imply a hierarchical relationship?

Who remembers how snappy the experience was on a fresh XP install?

Sure, everything loaded slow off disk, but once you got your basics into RAM it felt so much faster by comparison to how Win10 responds today. Explorer.exe in particular. What a gem that implementation was. I could play folder tetris at lightspeed with that thing, because it actually felt faster than I could ever go. Today, I am sad to report that despite my reflexes not being what they used to, I now wait upon file explorer to do its thing on a regular basis.

To see what I'm talking about, just run something extremely lightweight like mspaint, then right click it in your task bar. Be sure to have a stopwatch handy. It might take a little while for the context menu to appear and you don't want to lose track of your seconds. It's the perfect amount of delay right between complete disengagement (e.g. walking off to get coffee) and proper instantaneous feedback. I sometimes wonder if psychologists working at Microsoft have specifically tuned this delay to be as misanthropic as possible. I used XP not too long ago and I recall a visceral emotional experience due to the realization that we will never have a UI that feels that snappy again branded by Microsoft.

I realize I can probably get my low-latency UI fix with various Linux installs... Anyone have any recommendations? Who has the fastest window manager these days? With .NET Core working on Linux and any code targeting it being largely portable... I could maybe get used to a new normal on Linux for purposes of software development, which is also when I'm looking for a snappy UI. Visual studio on windows being the bloated nightmare it is... Some days I spend a few minutes writing specifications for a new IDE just as a means of catharsis. There is zero excuse for the kinds of delays I regularly see between keypress and UI feedback.
This is something Google cannot abandon or be complacent about. Cloud is their turf and they ceded it to AWS and then Microsoft.

To be fair, they do state that FSD features will be released in the future based on achieving better reliability than humans over billions of miles and after regulatory approval has been obtained.

All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances.

...[blahblahblah FSD features]...

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

If FSD as described doesn't happen, I'm sure there will be lawsuits and refunds just like there was with AP1.
