Like others, I also use keybase.io. By design it is not connected to the phone number, I can prove by myself the identity of the recipient and yes, it has exploding messages. They had a fiasco with unwanted cryptocurrency but now it is mostly forgotten/forgiven.
My comment was to give a practical alternative to the solution you were floating which is not really going to work in this scenario. I have done the work in removing the "resistance" for you.

Trying to guess which services are inactive and kill them off won't fly when the point of the service is to sit idle for a really long time (potentially on the timescale of months/years, i.e. just as long as you suggested if not longer) and occasionally send notifications when the user has a calendar event coming up.
Nice that you did the needful! Thank you!
The cdc has revised their estimates down in wuhan from 17% to 12%, and hospitalization rates have also gone down as testing has improved over the last few weeks. On the flip side there is mounting evidence that many COVID-19 deaths are not being counted.

(of course, they don't make it anymore, I think. But the Extrem 5000 is very similar. They added a pocket, moved the other two)

For years before this, I had been reasonably happy with an old North Face goretex jacket. It last about 15 years, but had a lining and in the end the exterior water shedding ability (not waterproofness) was shot.

The Berghaus is just what I always wanted: single layer, goretex, lightweight but very heavy duty fabric, the perfect hood design.

I wore it to hike the 230 mile Cape Wrath Trail last year, and verified once again that it was completely waterproof, very comfortable, perfect in every way (for me, at least).

If you forced me to make one criticism, I'd like a slightly larger patch of slightly softer material where the neck/hood comes up over my mouth/chin when it's fully "on". But even 2 weeks of wearing it every day (sometimes all day) in Scottish rain didn't really make that much of an issue.

I suppose my point is that you could turn the repeating decimal into an infinite series, and a student might accept that, and you could define the suprememum and they might agree that it is 1, but then you ask them if the series is equal to the supremum, so they don't know what to do with the series, so they turn it into a sequence. Now they ask whether the last item in the sequence is equal to the supremum. Of course not! This is by definition.

And now you realize that you and the student have been operating by different rules. Their rules of equality are based on symbolic equality, so you actually have to relax the rules a bit to make limit equality work. And then, more importantly, you have to show that all the other rules are still intact. Actually, in this case, they aren't. Symbolic equality involving infinity is now horribly broken, and you have to express all equality in terms of limits to maintain consistency. Explore this further and you keep finding more inconsistencies that have to be settled by new rules that define new areas of mathematics.

So who is right? The natural world appears to be much more permissive than limit equality, preferring epsilon-equality. Symbolic equality is the only purely self-consistent system, but you can't do much with it. It's also possible that the natural world works with symbolic rules (quantum) but the complexity is great enough to resemble epsilon equality (continuum).

So, .999... == 1 by tautology. It's not some brilliant mathematical insight. The interesting part is the consequence of defining it as so.
No, I'm saying that eventually the value of a company is based on actual economic reality and not sentiment. Companies are either profitable or not. They either grow or not. In the end, share prices are based on these things, not just the whims of investors.

High school: 45-50ish hours per week of class time and homework, waking up at 7:00 every friggin' morning to rush out the door, stuck in a building with little exposure to sunlight for hours on end. Work often assigned one day and due the very next.

College: 25-30 hours per week of class time and homework, walks outdoors between classes, long, leisurely breaks throughout the day. Usually at most 3 early wake-up days a week, and often zero. Work almost never due the very next day. It was like a goddamn vacation, after high school.

(granted I attended a low-ranked university and I gather it's not that easy everywhere, but we were still covering material much faster and with far higher expectations for work than in high school, yet it was way the hell easier just because the conditions were more humane and there was far less wasted time—on the flip side, my high school wasn't in any way prestigious or notable either, yet still demanded all that time)
Ask HN: Is VC Twitter Responsible for the Overblown Response to Covid-19?
VC Twitter seem to think of themselves as emissaries from God and they are by a population extremely liberal and pro big-government.

Was their media influence the cause of the overblown response to Covid-19?

Can we document/trace their influence?

Should we hold them accountable for businesses shuttered, jobs lost, and economy fucked?

We need answers. Don't blame China. Blame VC Twitter.
> The total velocity of our <x, y, z, t> vector will always be equal to the speed of light constant, c. You can think of something that has no physical movements as moving forward in time at the speed of light. As x, y, or z increases the magnitude of t will decrease so that the speed of light constant is always achieved.

I've gone decades without hearing it explained that clearly and simply. Thank you (sincerely).

You're talking about what should be the case, not what is the case.

In the real world, just as there are plenty of services with poor password practices (e.g. restricting people to numeric PINs when longer-length alphanumeric passwords would be much better) there are also services that don't offer multiple user profiles tied to the same account.

It's fine to point out that these services should implement such a feature, but OP's question is about what to do if you need shared access to a service that hasn't yet implemented such a feature.

I'll say for a long time I was the same way, until I bought a Prius.

A little while after I bought it, prices actually went up over what I purchased it for, and I was getting letters from Toyota dealerships offering to buy it back from me above my cost.

It's declined in value since then, but still runs well (knock on wood).

This isn't saying used cars aren't worth it -- they definitely are -- but for certain scenarios I think the choice is maybe more complicated than I thought for a long time.
Or people just enjoy having a car that they like? If you can afford it and you spend a lot of your time in your car, why not get one that you enjoy driving?

Northeast: Eco-Tourism Destination
What comes to your mind when you think of a vacation – Beaches, mountains, deserts, cities? We are fond of the luxurious stays and stunning villas during the vacations. But have you thought of a holiday in the quaint villages amidst nature, staying with the locals just as they would do? You get to stay in the exotic natural environment, see the wildlife in open and not in zoos, know about the cultures and customs of the place while you have a unique holiday experience. Ecotourism in northeast India and elsewhere is all about giving you this natural and exotic experience. From glacial lakes and national parks to an abundance of flora and fauna, the eight states comprising the north-eastern region of India are endowed with the beauty of nature. And yet they are rarely on an average tourist’s agenda..

Thanks for digging that out, I stand corrected.
This is a discussion on pretty much every team I've been on for the last 5 or so years. I agree mostly this stuff is done for the wrong reasons.

IMHO it doesn't matter if you replace microservices by components, corba objects, rpc objects, soap services, etc. It all boils down to chopping your software into smaller bits that than immediately start having a need for sending messages between them, finding each other, defending their boundaries, etc.

So, the first mistake would be assuming this is a new problem to think about. It's not. You can find similar debates about how to chop up software ever since people moved beyond just having their code ship in punch card form.

The right discussion to have would be first deciding whether you want to break down by your logical architecture so that your deployment architecture reflects that or your organization diagram (aka. Conway's law). Then the next step is deciding whether your primary goal is network isolation of unrelated chunks of code or enabling asynchronous development of these chunks of code (if so, there are other solutions). Usually it boils down to, again, Conway's law: different teams just don't want their stuff to depend on shit happening in another team because of internal bureaucracy and hassle.

Now say you have a valid business reason or technical reason for actually wanting to have different stuff be isolated (e.g. for scaling reasons or security reasons). The next step is deciding whether this means you also want to break up your code base. Monorepos and microservices are a thing. Look at e.g. lerna for node.js, or multi module gradle projects on the jvm. In Go this is well supported as well. If you're really sure that you don't want micro services because of Conway's law there are lots of valid reasons for having a well structured mono repo with a bit of reuse of shared functionality, a simplified review process and more visibility in what is happening.

IMHO people do this for completely the wrong reasons; like wanting to try out some new language, organizational issues, etc. that ultimately result in fragmented code bases, lots of devops overhead and complexity (it's never simple or cheap), lots of project management overhead, etc. You pay a price.
New cases are really pretty meaningless considering the confounding variable of increased testing. New hospitalizations is a much more reliable statistic, followed by new deaths, both of which are down in many (most?) states. In New York for example, new hospitalizations have been decreasing for 15 days.
I’m working on IoT Core. It’s good, about what you would expect.

Most everything is solid. Typical AWS issues that there are policy things that only “make sense” (loosely) after you’ve failed at them many times.

My specific annoyance right now is that there is no cross-region compatibility, and the Device Registry has no backup and restore, so you are on your own if you want to take your device registry, back it up, and deploy to a different region.

I haven’t used the Device Shadows because it’s outside my use case but seems like a feature most people would want.

I have no major complaints.

And the value of those is probably going down by more than 30%, seeing as how they're shares, and often linked to stock performance as well.
> A better alternative is the less sexy but more productive political action obviously with buy in from the power brokers.

That's the first thing that will be tried, but to be truly successful the "buy in" needs to happen equally as much from the people that are on the verge of picking up pitchforks. It also needs to be an authentic political action. Unfortunately our politics in the USA has gone into profound dysfunction. Something ugly is going to happen, I think. I don't know when, but it's been on the way for quite some time. That guy in the oval office is just a symptom of a really deep problem.

> Unrest is what happens in Venezuela or Yemen, etc

Not necessarily!

There are a number of really bad things that precede unrest, usually a collapse of systems that people rely on. The folks in Venezuela didn't want unrest either, but when your currency becomes worthless within a span of a couple years... bad things are going to happen.
"Yep each single microservice is simple - ..." but the whole is not.

I always find it more interesting what's _not_ in the single microservices, the stuff you do see. When you make a diagram with boxes and arrows, the interesting stuff would be the arrows, not the boxes themselves.
I suspect this has to do more with social circles than country. Obviously there are more people buying new cars, or else there wouldn't be any used cars for anyone to buy. I think the same is largely true in the US -- lots of people would never buy a brand new car, but there's also many people who would only buy a car brand new. The break down is probably 30/70 or 40/60.
Maybe you could start a script with a shebang. Call it something more descriptive like a Windowing Shell - wish for short. Put it on top of a command language and make whole thing cross-platform.

That's not indeterminate IO, that's just plain old UB.
Agreed. Tech has a built-in gatekeeping mechanism due to the steep learning curve most people hit right at the beginning. No one is getting taught the fundamentals in school and it can be very hard to wrap your mind around it at first. Meanwhile, many other skills that are dismissed are ones where we got over the initial hump as children in school and the curve gets steeper much later, once you're trying to become a professional.

Mostly these were white boarded, but essentially I/we would draw a collaboration diagram (although I could have sworn these used to be called something else). They showed what data was needed to make certain decisions (eg, a conditional drop down that is populated based on another piece of data, or complex validation steps) and where to get data that already existed.
> conciseness

There's also an important nuance here: clarity. Many times re-reading something I've written, I realized that I was being concise, but at the expense of clarity, by using jargon without explaining it. One needs to be careful not to be too concise, or they risk going over the reader's head.
This is very eye opening, thanks. Yes, in the US, the implication is the opposite: "I bought a car" is taken to mean brand new.

I guess part of it is that it's a very car oriented culture, but the other part is that people value owning a new shiny thing over financial cautiousness.

In all honesty, I think the monolith/microservice distinction misses the point a little bit.

It's inevitable that the longer the codebase exists, the more difficult it is to maintain. It's a battle that you can't necessarily win and it's turtles all the way down as your dependencies, and their dependencies, tackle the same issues.

All it takes is one or two roughly defined APIs and you've already created the nucleation point for ever-more tech debt, and while you'll be able to tame some of it you won't manage all of it due to business requirements, or other teams depending on private APIs to save time, or whatever else you can imagine. Switch the architecture and you'll either have all your problems bunched in one codebase, or you'll have distributed your problems all over the place.

I'd go as far as saying that a perfect monolith and a perfect distributed architecture are theoretical ideals that require perfect communication to build them.

This is usually a smell that the person is competent at what they do, but doesn't know what's going on under the hood. Funny enough, I'd rather work with someone who doesn't know the specific technology, but knows what the language was built on top of, because they'll have a better intuition for how it actually works and be able to learn it relatively quickly.
I'm also using this excellent tool, along with a nice Emacs integration for it (https://github.com/NicolasPetton/pass) and I really like it for the control and flexibility it gives, especially in the context of a developer's environment.
I think the ties arise because people are actively seeking areas of responsibility. Software components are an obvious grab if your eyes are on the software specifically. But there are other ways of dividing your teams; based on for instance customers, use-cases, aspects of the code (performance, security).

The problem is that the software usually keeps expanding until programmers find it hard to cope. If you split teams up so that some people are only concerned with a certain part of the codebase, chances are you are going to grow the size of the codebase by a quite large factor.

I think there should be an incentive in place to keep the codebase small and understandable by most.
From a cursory look, this is one of the most unsafe pieces of code I have seen, with complete disregard to memory alignment requirements and the lifetime of temporary objects passed as arguments to functions.

Definitely don't use this in production code.
Noncooperative shared text documents only kind of work at the user level like in notepad++ or vscode where it keeps an eye on the timestamp and offers to lose either the edits in memory or the edits on disk. Inserting things into the middle can't be done without rewriting everything after.

The only thing that does work with shared writing is logiles with O_APPEND, where multiple processes can safely add to the end of a file.

(For historical examples of this, have a look at mbox locking versus maildir; the "mbox" format is basically keeping all your email as a huge text file, and locking protocols have developed around that so multiple mail clients can coexists without wrecking it)
