Serverless by AWS standards doesn’t mean “stateless”"

Willing to be proved wrong, but what I've seen so far does equate serverless with stateless, at least at the compute tier. Aurora has no "Lambda" or "serverless" branding, right? Any stateful stuff is sort of called out as an integration.
The default installation wizard is not very interactive when it comes to deciding what to install.

Maybe they don't want to confuse the new users with choices they don't understand, and give them the most reasonable defaults they can.
This has been happening for years. I personally remember hearing people complain about it as far back as 2010 or 2011.

That's how I felt when I used a Mac for work. Linux doesn't work just the way I want right out of the box, but neither did the Mac, and at least Linux gives me the tools to change and fix the things I didn't like.

Granted, my monitors are 1080p and 720p (ugh), so I haven't had to wrangle with high DPI issues, which does not sound fun.
So what do you do when you are featured on CNN or whatever and you need to scale up massively in a matter of minutes? Do you just let all those sales go?

Yes, a lot of companies rely on you feeling personally bad for the person you're dealing with when having an issue with the company as a whole. The company tries to "humanize" themselves in this way by tossing a peon/cog onto the front lines to bear the brunt of customer hostilities, with little resources to actually solve problems, then when the satisfaction survey comes down they'll hold the cog personally responsible for the dissatisfaction of the customer instead of actually reviewing and changing customer-hostile policies.

"Make a human connection and smile", doesn't solve dark pattern markup fees(Instacart), or terrible search interface that steers you towards the what the business wants you to buy at the price they want you to buy it at(Amazon), or that you got $200 in overdraft fees on $15 worth of purchases(any major bank).
I agree with some of what you said here, but there is one specific point I want to disagree with. All the projections for unemployment related deaths are based on society functioning as it previously did. I think many of the people who are suggesting we are in for long term isolation are also suggesting a much bigger increase in the social safety net to help people through these difficult times.
Is it bad that I've written some of these in my normal code? In particular, I use the concepts in these when they're relevant:

*(c ? &x : &y) = v;

return (char *[]){"No", "Yes"}[!!x];

(Note: for the second one, I use the "selecting from a temporary array" and !! separately; if I only had two options then I'd use x ? "Yes" : "No" of course.)
The answer appears to be yes, with some exceptions like the integrated video encoder: http://linux-meson.com/doku.php

Well, one thing that jumps out immediately to me is that everything appears to be using shared_ptr. And by that I mean everything. Why is everything shared? What does it even mean to have a shared_ptr<stringstream>? Arbitrary mixed writes to a string seems like a bad idea, so shouldn't that be unique_ptr?

Or like this:

auto alns = make_shared<deque<shared_ptr<sam_alignment>>>();

A shared_ptr to a deque of shared_ptrs? deque isn't thread-safe, why would it be shared? And why does the deque instance need to be heap allocated at all? It just contains a pointer to the actual allocation anyway, moving it around by value is super cheap?

It's like make_shared is the only way they know to allocate an object. They even put string inside of shared_ptr:

class istream_wrapper {
...
shared_ptr<string> buffer;

It could be that it does need to be shared for some reason, but this looks like a pointer to a pointer for no obvious reason. Even ignoring the atomics that shared_ptr results in, the dependent data loads are going to be brutal.

EDIT: And they don't even seem to use std::move anywhere :/ There's a huge gap between this code and custom allocator territory.
As long as there is revenue to be had doing it, folks will continue to do it, reinvent it, and so on. It’s a billion dollar market, at least.

Airbnb is also a very big user of this pattern. You can't search by total price, including fees, just the base nightly rate: which makes it difficult to compare options, since one host might have a $20 cleaning fee, and another has a $250 one.

That can make a big difference in total price for short (2-3 night) stays.

I end up with 40 browser tabs. Oh, and if you want to book via mobile app, they charge more for that. Have to use a web browser for the best price.
What's false here — a logical fallacy — is to attribute that claim to the WHO, and not to the 'preliminary reports' from 'Chinese authorities'.

If a newspaper quotes/summarises the words of an MP/celeb, are those the newspaper's views?

This tweet clearly states it is the view of a third-party, and that it is based upon preliminary reports, and it is the third-party's findings.
I believe amazone should pay for their own advertisement to well themsell and prices should be transparent (amazone has to pay them self what other would have to pay), _because then they would still need to pay tax_ for this. At least in countries where taxes are not very low this could make the situation slightly better. Through not that much better tbh.
You think store brands are sitting side by side with name brands? If anything they’re at eye level. And with amazon, they can’t actually delete the listing, but maybe you have to scroll down a bit.
No, the current situation is that there are two governments both claiming to represent "China", not that the ROC is part of what you are calling "China" (PRC). The ROC can't amend its constitution to rename itself without triggering a PRC invasion.

You are using "China" to refer to the PRC which is misleading and muddies the conversation. I'm against calling the PRC "China" as much as I am against calling the ROC "Taiwan". Please use the full name or the acronym to avoid ambiguity.

I'm using grpc/protobuf for the fact that it supports plenty of languages: C++, C#, Python, Dart, even Rust and others (Node, PHP, etc.). What is the state of CapnProto when comes to this? I've tried to look at the C# project, but the page was missing on github.
This is especially important now: I just had a credit card company send me a query about a fraud alert. After confirming that it was fraudulent, it tells me to call the 800 number but that now says that you should use the website for anything which isn't COVID-19 related due to very high call volume.
While this dynamic may exist in some form, I don’t think it’s a powerful enough affect to stop the spread. There is not a firm dichotomy of spreaders vs. isolators and the composition probably changes over time, such that the virus still has many opportunities to spread to previously-isolated groups.
After quickly glancing the code, I concluded that they wrote C++ like there is no static type. It seems they faithfully ported the very dynamic nature of their existing code to C++ without thinking.

Like what is this?
https://github.com/ExaScience/elprep-bench/blob/master/cpp/f...

auto alns = any_cast<shared_ptr<deque<shared_ptr<sam_alignment>>>>(data);

So the data is sam_alignment type inside shared_ptr inside deque inside another share_ptr inside god forbid any? Why did they do that? What kind of abomination is this? Also from the context, it is the only possible type. they use:

try { any_cast<abomination_type>(data) ; }
catch ( bad_any_cast ) { throw runtime_error(...) ; }

If you're so sure an object of any only hold exactly one type and everything else is unexpected error, you shouldn't use any at all!

They really like std::deque<T> and use it everywhere even though the sizeof(T) is like a few dozen bytes at best so they should rather use std::vector. The data structure of deque is a list of array. while it can amortize the continious adding of the elements to front or back, since the element size is very small, they should rather use vector.

Speaking of data structure, they also use std::unordered_map<int, any>. the unordered_map is very slow(it's a node based hash map, not suitable for the modern hardware) and the sizeof(int) + sizeof(any) is like 20 bytes(sizeof(int) + two pointers) so they got no benefit of using node based data structure here. They should rather use sorted vector and binary search it.

My conclusion, it's slow because they wrote C++ like a dynamic typed language and they choose the wrong data structures.

This is tricky to understand, but "all cause excess mortality" is pretty well understood by statisticians. They use it all the time for flu.

Here's one document from the UK that mentions the kind of testing they do to arrive at "deaths to flu" figures. They have international programmes to see what respiratory diseases are circulating, they test people who arrive in hospital for those, they know roughly how many people in the population they expect to die (because RTAs, cancer, heart disease, etc all stay sort of stable from one year to the next). They also do survey work to see if people have flu symptoms but haven't seen a doctor, and they can see how many people attend various healthcare settings for flu.

It's all a lot more complicated than "did someone write flu on a death certificate".

That's a case where mmap isn't actually all that much faster than read, and due to the inter processor interrupts needed to synchronize the memory mappings across cores, it may end up much slower. You're grabbing large chunks and flushing the TLB a whole lot.

If you are seeking randomly and doing small reads, then mmap will help quite a bit: the data will be faulted in, and accessing it a second, third, or hundredth time will not cost much.

In the age of misinformation, how do we better equip our society to know (or even desire to know) what is accurate information?

I think it's easy to think of censorship as the answer, and it's easy to think that in this extreme circumstance that it's the answer. Maybe it is a slippery slope.

It is a problem though. People aren't doing a very good job of handling it on their own, either. So what's the answer? Genuinely curious about this.
We don't have perfect studies and perfect data but calling these tests "bad" seems slightly unfair. They give us an imperfect but useful snapshot of what's going on. But thanks for the condescension. I'd expect nothing less on HN.
We don't know that actually 21% have been exposed - hence the use of "preliminary" and "suggest". We need actual positive results that aren't based upon hiding behind the repeated use of "extremely unlikely". It seems like a bad idea to gamble based upon an initial suggestion.

The only actual good indicator we have is the rate of change of deaths and hospitalizations.
It is arguable that all retail chains have been doing this with their store branded product lines.
I just (last 2 weeks) switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu for my personal/home VMs (Linode!). The risk of crap breaking on a emerge world ... was just too high. I think the final straw wsa something related to python2/3 issues breaking emerge it's self. I rebooted it into safe mode, spun up a new Ubuntu image, and rsync'ed to /old_linode/ and then reinstalled bind9 and apache2 and etc. The thing I liked about having local compiles for everything is you could gdb any system binary. As a C programmer for many years, I like seeing real code.

The vast majority of the "store brands" are made by the same companies who make the usual branded stuff. In many cases, it's the exact same product in a different wrapper or container, made on the same production line by the same company and the same staff. Sometimes to differentiate the product, it might have subtly different ingredients, or be of slightly lower quality to differentiate it from a "premium" product but still within the quality spec of the original product (for products which are binned or have batches of varying quality, or where there's variability e.g. biscuits which cook differently at different places on the conveyor).

I used to work in a big brewery where we made supermarket branded beers. It was the same product in a different can. Actually, the exact same can, with a custom paint job. It was one of the more generic beers, rather than one with a taste associated with one of the well-known premium brands, but there was zero compromise on quality there. What was packaged for the supermarkets was 100% identical to beers with our own company name on it.

It's only the cheapest of the cheap "value" stuff which has been significantly cost reduced and has compromised quality. That's stuff like pastry with a higher water content in place of fats, or substituted ingredients such as palm oil in place of butter etc. In these cases you're paying less, but obviously getting less product for your money. That's its own specialised segment. These are often made by different companies with their own separate supply chains, and possibly living by a different set of ethics... There clearly seems to be a market for this type of thing, but given the reduced nutritional quality and taste, it's not necessarily providing a genuine cost saving.

For a minute I thought this was the release of the "AWS for Everyone" product with a new name, but this is something very different.

Interesting product though! I think everyone that's using SaaS solutions has nightmare scenarios about providers screwing up or going out of business, or even seeing versioning of data at the providers. Exporting in a standardized way to S3 is great for insights in changes as well as for backups.

Of course when you starting building triggers that react to changes this creates a huge lock-in to AWS, but that's a cost a lot of people are willing to pay.

I would love to be able to do this with a load of different SaaS solutions that we use (gitlab.com, support tools, even google docs) (I'm in a regulated industry and this would solve some issues for us). Curious to see how this will expand and if custom integrations will appear soon.

Do you have references for this, or the scientific data that Taiwan used to make that assertion at the time the WHO made that statement?

As others have mentioned here, if you are willing to meet the OS half way, then Linux is the way to go. With enough customization, you won't want to go back to any other OS. I use XMonad + tmux + vim, so everything is fast, keyboard driven, and minimal, and working with a mouse pointer to arrange windows is now arcane and clunky to me.

Equivalent setups with Windows and Mac are sub-optimal since there is only so much you can hack the window manager to do what you want. But you do need to go through some legwork and a learning curve get Linux working for you.

You think store brands are sitting side by side with name brands?

Based on my last trip to the supermarket, absolutely.

The stores have to put their brand next to the name-brand, or nobody will see their stuff.

They can't just shove the name brand items to the bottom of the shelf because the brands have done all of the advertising, and those are the logos, colors, and packaging that people are looking for.
