> Author also mentions other downsides such as "vendor lock-in," however his lambdas were written in NodeJs and it would be trivial to move his code to some other NodeJs delivery mechanism such as Fargate or ECS cluster.

I find it amusing that your examples to which one could move the project and avoid “vendor lock-in” are both from the same vendor as Lambda.

I get the point that it’s not Lambda specific outside the entry point, it’s just funny that the presented alternatives are still cutting a check to the same vendor.
AFAIK, React does claim to solve "the view problem" and not more than that. You still need an architecture around your application if you're building something larger than a demo.

Quote from the React landing page:

> Design simple views for each state in your application

Quite literally, one of the selling points of React is that it's focused on the view based on data, not on where that data comes from.

ink_13 was talking about NASs, so I recommended a machine for that use case. Are you talking about a NAS as well? If so, what comparable enclosure can you find for $45? You need more SATA ports also—an expansion card or port multiplier or some such.

The Udoo is a much more powerful little machine, but the Helios64 seems more practical as a low-budget NAS.
Ah yes. Whoever's heard of Whatsapp, Pinterest, Discord, and Goldman Sachs? https://codesync.global/media/successful-companies-using-eli...
Likely yes, they are. There were people murdering Jews well before Internet, TV, radio, printing and arguably even written language existed. There still are. Attributing this to a random wacko, without specific casual proof, is likely to be wrong. Of course, in some cases (yes, that case, thankyouverymuch) there's ample proof. In most cases we're dealing with on the Internet, there isn't. And a single reference by a demented individual, without further proof, can't be taken as such. Otherwise you basically pass the control of the moral norms into the hand of demented wackos - the only thing they need to do to ruin anybody is to commit some atrocity and declare they were doing it in your name. Obviously that alone can't be a proof of anything. You need to examine whether they were sincerely inspired by those ideas, where those ideas indeed intend to inspire such reaction (some people are sure TV is full of secret messages telling them to kill the President, that doesn't mean we have to shut down the TV broadcasts) and whether this reaction is something that is inherent in those ideas.

Also, there is a myriad of possibilities between "totally unrelated" and "have direct causal link which imparts responsibility". If somebody is on the left politically, is he "totally unrelated" to Lenin and Pol Pot? Not exactly, they probably share some ideas somewhere. Is he responsible for all atrocities Lenin and Pol Pot committed? I don't think many people on the left would agree to that. And here we have direct link between ideology and actions, acknowledged by everybody. You are extending it to actions of insane people which may be just using ideology to dress up their demented impulses - this is even worse distortion.

People are responsible for their actions. But if some crazy person mentions somebody in a positive sense, that by itself does not impart responsibility on the person they mention.
No, the name is definitely mutable. Consider:

x = 1
capture = lambda: x
x = 'foo'
print capture()

If python were just shadowing, this would print 1. But it prints foo.

There are cases especially for politicians and NGOs that do get a verification, I know of at least one that got verified two days ago. It's just extremely intransparent who gets verified, who can initiate a verification and what the criteria are. My guess is that contacts at major political parties / ad spenders help as these can ask via their ad account manager.
I agree with you. Just keeping with the S&P is pretty great, with the benefits that you can maintain concentration during the day.

Making the blue verified check exclusive is the main problem here.

Twitter internal system/process of verifying accounts is fundamentally broken...why don’t they open this to everyone and people can apply with their official ID?!

They can add/create another Check mark for celebrities..but verified real accounts of people should be for everyone.

Twitter is a public sphere and They should be able to identify real accounts easily.

From his quotes, it sounds like he had a pretty strong opinion on climate science, and wasn't commenting merely on "cultural" topics.

> Indur Goklany has done a careful job, collecting and documenting the evidence that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does far more good than harm. To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious: that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage.

I consider myself an unprejudiced person and to me these facts are obvious. But the same facts are not obvious to the majority of scientists and politicians who consider carbon dioxide to be evil and dangerous. The people who are supposed to be experts and who claim to understand the science are precisely the people who are blind to the evidence... I hope that a few of them will make the effort to examine the evidence in detail and see how it contradicts the prevailing dogma, but I know that the majority will remain blind... How does it happen that a whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?

You didn't wake up before the alarm went off. What happens is your mind is dreaming about a minutes worth of some random scenario. At the moment the alarm sounds, this scenario undergoes an alternation to incorporate the alarm into the dream and is then stored in your short-term memory. When you fully wake-up, your mind replays the dream, the last bit of which contains the sequence of you waking-up just before the alarm going off.

That would be an insane violation of privacy.
The Ribbon’s terrible because there’s no regularity in its structure. The eye can’t scan quickly: sometimes controls go horizontally, then they go vertically, then they run horizontally again.

Old-school Apple menubar; yeah, that’s not exactly cutting-edge UX any more. Scrubbing through fixed hierarchical menus spatially disconnected from the data they operate on is crude and pretty tedious. And Apple’s never really made much effort on the (adaptive) contextual menu front; macOS has them, but they’re more like a resentful afterthought.

Alas, blue-sky R&D into new, novel, cutting-edge UI/UX hasn’t been a thing at Apple for over a decade. Well, except maybe Siri, but even that was bought off the shelf and they’ve hardly put their backs into making it any more than mediocre. Amazon and Google care more(!).
This is a really good metaphor.

What makes you think Google employees only care about themselves? You don't think they (and we) should care about the more vulnerable members of society that they will infect?
I've thought about something like that, but then what namespace would the keys belong to? Are they just some kind of hidden "superglobal" and if so, how do you reconcile the intention that state be limited to its component? On the other hand, you could (somehow) build unique symbols for each instance, then have the problem of who's responsibility is it to nominate friendly names for the query string (or yuck, __viewState!)? Or you could make it the persistor's [sic] responsibility; give it this, the key and the value, and let it worry about this exact same problem? Even if you choose one way, there's going to be people who want it a different way, so you've got to be right!

I think you really need setState to have some idea who might be interested in this state transition. One idea I had was to have an optional argument to specify the "Persistor" [sic], and then I consult the "Reader" in the constructor to build the initial (local) state, and in for own code, I ended up with something pretty much like that.

this.setState({ fields, row: 0 }, UpdateURL)

where:

setState(x,y) { return y&&y(x)&&super.setState(x); }

I haven't had any need for multiple "Persistors" [sic], nor any idea what multiple "Readers" might do, but you should find it easy to add a pub/sub mechanism in there if you needed it.

IBM Cloudant runs everything CouchDB which is written in Erlang as does Amazon for SimpleDB. WhatsApp and a bunch of Pinterest are written in Erlang (they may actually be in Elixir, but on BEAM).

To my knowledge Ericsson still writes most things in Erlang. Yahoo uses it for a couple large services. My company use PagerDuty which is also written on BEAM.

I'm sure there are many, many other things in not familiar with, but claims of Erlang's demise are greatly exaggerated.

How? Why would a developer want to lose money housing as many people as possible? At the end of the day your looking to sell or rent for the highest $ per SQ FT possible in your market, with the least amount of risk. If your rent to 50 @ $500, your gross monthly rent income is 25,000. If you rent to 10 @ 2,500 you have the same totals. You are much less profitable with 50 units @ $500 because of maintenance/repairs, tenant issues & labor. It takes a whole lot more to keep 50 units operating than 10.

What I'd find to be interesting & useful is:

Every URL I visit is automatically recorded along with the time & date visited, title and other metadata.

If the URL is visited via a link off another webpage, have that relationship recorded. Provide some sort of navigable tree / searchable database. Should be able to easily scale to tens / hundreds of millions of URLs across decades.

If the URL is visited by manually inputting that URL, provide option to type into a field something like "heard this on the radio in a show about xyz..." or "so-and-so told me about this on 2-28-2020 at lunch".

Provide option (when viewing page or drilling into history tree) to:

- paste in a paragraph or two of text from the page to associate for context

- save the entire page in WARC or similar

- rate / star / tag that page

Provide option to delete pages from history -- either entirely, or "scratched out" (maybe with a comment) so one can remember which branches of the tree are not worth following again.

Provide Fuzzy matching as-you-type search across selectable metadata fields

Search all content with regex.

This would likely involve a browser plugin I guess, but it'd be nice to have a browser-independent way of doing this to facilitate multiple browsers on multiple machines. Also, would be good to avoid "extensions no longer supported after browser update" situations.

Negative thought spiral. Life is rough for the OP right now; negative thoughts are begetting negative thoughts. I think most folks have been there, with variance in magnitude.
In 2016 the Swedish national cabinet issued a report on the status of the anti-discrimination law (SOU 2016:87). It cites the EU courts cases C-399/11, Melloni and C‑617/10, Åklagaren mot Åkerberg Fransson, and the conclusion that political discrimination is against the human rights convention.

The report also note that current law does not protect children that get discriminated based on their parents political activity, which the FN convention of children rights says they should be protected against.

The report goes on to basically say that the EU convention of human rights extends the Swedish anti-discrimination law to include, among other things, political and other world views, class, and social status. The report then goes on that courts must already follow those extensions.

There were also a specific case a couple years ago where a politician was kicked out of a restaurants based on his political affiliation. A Judge commented on that case noted that while the Swedish anti-discrimination does not make it illegal, there is a case to be made under the EU human rights declaration.

So there. The government report, and a judge, both saying the same conclusion.
I use medium.com as a filter in general.
I apologize if I misunderstood your intent. I can see other ways of interpreting what you said.

I originally took your point to be that the current risks, although sad, are acceptable and we face greater peril from slowing down economic activity.

Although I see trade-offs to everything I see economic activity fundamentally as in service to the quality of life of a person and would rather take the sadness of losing greater economic gains to the sadness losing significantly more people.

There is always a balance to this and I could interpret what you said as having a different perspective on what the current risks are but without additional context, I took it as I did.
Meanwhile the CDC will only test you if you've traveled to affected areas AND are hospitalized with severe symptoms. Come back with a fever and flu like symptoms but can still breathe? No test for you. Go home, take the subway, go to work, all good. No quarantine needed even though something like 70% of cases do not require hospitalization but are still contagious.

Can't have confirmed cases if you don't test anyone I guess.

> The other advantage is that you can mix different manufacturing nodes... such as compute or graphics chiplets being latest and greatest with memory and bus interfaces on a prior generation. Again, this allows for greater production and reducing loss.

The "previous generation" doesn't necessarily mean worse these day, nor say much about transistor density.

It's a non-secret in the industry that after gate size scaling froze at around 30-40nm, all further advances in density has actually reduced the performance of an individual transistor.

You were still able to cram more of them in the same space, and get a net performance benefit from transistor count.

Once testing actually ramps up in the US... I'd expect similar cases to pop up all over the Bay Area. The Fairfield case was infectious starting weeks ago.

The CDC site shows only 8 more tests having happened in the last few days (aka: preposterously low!). We're really flying blind until we have more data and testing. When the history of this epidemic in the US is written, it will be noted that the entire month of February was wasted diagnostically and critical opportunities to still attempt containment lost.

If you're writing nofollow links to try and influence what pages on your site are or are not prominently displayed in search results, you're doing it wrong.

Nofollow links were stated as "My link to this page should not benefit that page's rank", but apparently some people found a loophole: "I can exclude pages from Google's index of my site by nofollow'ing all links to them".

Loophole closed.
No, but they can:

1. Close the office and allow people to work from home.

2. Alert employees who are the most likely to have been in contact with that individual, without naming the individual.
