GCP purchased CloudSimple who provides managed VMWare running on bare metal. This isn't a solution co-developed between VMWare and GCP, nor is this a 1st party VMWare solution. I'm not even sure if this is running on GCE, or if its just a re-branding of CloudSimple as GCP VMWare Engine

VMWare Cloud on AWS was built by VMWare to run on AWS ec2 bare-metal instances, and is managed by VMWare themselves.

While similar, they are different.

But it's pretty satisfying when details are still relevant but simply misleading or difficult to put together. In my opinion, that's the ideal scenario. It's ok for superfluous details to be there for the sake of texture but depending on how it's done, it may cause the script to lose its "tightness".

Westworld is one of my favorite shows because I think it accomplishes this very well (S01 and S02, not S03). There are a myriad of details, you get the feeling they'll be important but there's simply so much to keep track of that it's very difficult for it to become predictable and boring.
Over 500 hours of videos are uploaded to Youtube every minute. You think they actually care about the cost of hardware to host a 2-hour political documentary? As far as censorship goes, taking down a video for political reasons is pretty much textbook censorship, regardless how you may spin it or justify it.
Nope, it’s from the statistics.

Let’s talk real. Compared to fluorescent lamp, LED comsumes half of energy. It’s not like they comsume nothing. Over 68% of sockets in American households already use LED in 2018 and 13% of energy was used in residential lighting in 2018. If 32% changes to LED it will lower the percentage to 11% which is still more than what we use to refrigerate.
The idea of having a Sacramento -> Chicago or Houston to Dallas routes for trucking with autonomous vehicles, with the last mile routes covered by normal container trucks sounded like it would work in the near term.

Sure, we have that ... right now. Called trains. Train even carry trucks. Trains are vastly more fuel efficient than trucks.

The advantage trucks have over trains is their flexibility, their any point to any other point ability. Take that out and it can be automated but that automation isn't to be more efficient than ... 19th century technology. Ha.

Suppose you have a very simple system with two indistinguishable particles in one dimension and no spin or any other complications. The wavefunction is just a complex valued function of two variables:

f(x0, x1)

where x0 and x1 are coordinates of the two particles.

The fact that the particles are indistinguishable means that no possible experiment can tell them apart. After a bit of math, this means that f(x0, x1) = k * f(x1, x0) where k is a constant. All wavefunctions are normalized, so |k|^2=1, which constrains k to be on the unit circle.

But you can go farther: it's possible, at least in principle, to come up with an experiment that measures k. So you start with the particles in their initial state, do your experiment, and learn k. (Maybe you need to repeat it a bunch of times -- no big deal.) Now you repeat the same experiment but start with the two particles having their roles swapped. Since the particles are indistinguishable, you had better measure the same value for k. This means:

f(x0, x1) = k * f(x1, x0)

and also

f(x1, x0) = k * f(x0, x1) = k^2 * f(x1, x0)

So k^2 = 1, and that rules out everything except k=1 or k=-1.
Which is exactly what many Elixir advocates say.

Contrary to what you and others try and insinuate, we are very aware that the language is not a universal tech.

So yet again, you guys are smacking at a strawman that's very easy to beat. It's quite tiring to argue with stuff that I never said (and most of Elixir's community haven't said it either). But I think I'll give up for now. :)

This is what I have been told by a former Rails dev who is now doing Laravel. He said that Rails has much more automatically injected code that behaves in a way you can't anticipate intuitively (and many libraries encourage and extend that behaviour). As a former Rails dev myself I agree with that part.
Nothing you listed there requires fossil fuels.

I was a VMware VCP5 several years ago and sold/installed many datacenter virtualization solutions and VDI deployments.

One of my favourite quotes from The Evidence of Things Not Seen:

"The dream of safety can reach culmination or climax only in the nightmare orgasm of genocide."

There's a preamble to it, but it's an incredibly powerful idea to me. We live in a radically unsafe universe and our death is inevitable. Safety is a delusion.
I believe a few years is 20 years though. I haven't thought of patents from this perspective but 20 years is still a long time (and large chunk of your working years) to benefit from something.

In those 5 years, HTTPS has gone from being the minority of traffic to being ~90% of the connections observed by most Chrome clients (scroll down a few graphs for the Chrome-observed one):
https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview

Firefox has reported similar numbers. It's now more common for new web features to require HTTPS when they are introduced, to avoid developing HTTP sites as dependencies:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/15/secure-contexts...

That doesn't mean that HTTP is banned, but given the magnitude of the change and the size of the web, I think it's fair to say that it's being deprecated.

More practically, anyone who wanted to build a product (or a government process) on intercepting or modifying people's unencrypted web traffic would find their dataset to be an order of magnitude smaller, and orders of magnitude less useful (since so much of the remaining HTTP traffic is in the long tail of small/older sites).
Well, I am just now arguing with people in another thread that nobody claims that Elixir is an end-all be-all.

It's quite sad how fiercely the average HN audience is attacking people who are trying to show an alternative way of doing things.

Ruby and Python, for a long time, have been almost identical in laguage benchmarks and Python's lack of speed hasn't stopped it being the most adopted language by some metrics. So this whole speed thing is a red herring.
Can you help me understand why this would be useful? What can be achieved with VMWare that can't be done more efficiently with GCP (or AWS or Azure) native tools? The list of arcane product names makes me think this is for enterprises that already invested in VMWare products and just don't want to own servers anymore.

> the people who work with mainstream tech always assume that the smaller community wants more adoption

We all wanna get paid in the end of the day. Lots of Rails devs got spooked that 5 years from now their knowledge will go to shit. A lot of them still feel insecure about the state of Ruby, even with 90B companies like Shopify using it, because they read a blog about how a startup no one heard of migrated from Rails to Elixir. You don't seem to care about any of that and that's great. But let's face it, a lot of the back and forth "what's better tech" wars and shitting on each other's stacks is simply trying (maybe subconsciously) to gain more adoption and to validate our choices in life, and feel good about what we do by feeling superior to others. Just like a religion really or any other form of community. These aren't really academic discussion on what's "better" in my view.

just use off-car solar panels.

https://sunelec.com

routinely sells panels for 30 cents/watt.

If you could skip the inverter step, charging your electric car could be very low cost.

5,000 watts of (raw) solar panels for $1500 and would give even the most power-hungry 350wh/mi tesla ~ 70 miles of charge in 5 hours of sun.

(a 200wh/mi car would need ~ $500 of panels for 40 miles)
> Ok, but that decision would have to be made by the project maintainer, in this case Google, not the person using Bazel to compile protobuf.

No, that's up to the user. If you include protobuf in your Bazel workspace and have a toolchain configured, protobuf will be built with that toolchain (this is also how you would cross-compile). Bazel workspaces are still a little rough around the edges and interactions between them can be very confusing, as Google doesn't need them internally (everything is vendored as part of the same tree).

Under the hood there's a default auto-configured toolchain that finds whatever is installed locally in the system. Since it has no way of knowing what files an arbitrary "cc" might depend on, you lose hermeticity by using it.

Of course, the whole model falls apart if you want to depend on things outside of Bazel's control. However in practice I've found that writing Bazel build files for third-party dependencies isn't as hard as it seems, and provides tons of benefits as parent mentioned.

For example, last week I was tracking down memory corruption in an external dependency. With a simple `bazel run --config asan -c dbg //foo`, I had foo and all of its transitive dependencies re-compiled and running under AddressSanitizer within minutes. How long would that take with other build systems? Probably a solid week.

Yes, I believe it's well understood in the social sciences that when you give people an extrinsic reward for some activity, it drastically reduces any intrinsic rewards they were getting for it. Some weird quirk of human psychology.

You can get people to do things out of the goodness of their heart, or you can pay them to do things, but it's really hard to do both at the same time.
> I think this let’s a lot of people push off that moral calculus as something that happens to other, lesser, people

So it's not at all bout killing "other lesser people". People mostly just think some risks are worth the reward.
Ask HN: How do you deal with interview burnout, as an interviewer?
When I have to conduct 6-7 tech interviews a week, with sometimes 3 interviews a day, I am feeling more burnout than with other work duties. I also feel that I am wasting time asking the same questions all the time. Sometime I try to see this as a social experiment, to see how 100 people answer the same question or coding problem, but not much more than that. How do you "grow" or "learn" better while interviewing?
Some dams, such as Lake Oroville in California, do use an afterbay to allow for off-peak water pumping back into the lake (https://norcalwater.org/efficient-water-management/efficient...).

Sadly, dams tend to destroy healthy fishery ecosystems —- a side effect of not “wasting” the water.
How so?

If a CA is compromised (which was very rare, even under historically more lax oversight than today) the bad guys would need to issue themselves a cert from this compromised CA, get it logged, and then from an on-path position use the certificate to MITM you and capture your URL which presumably they wanted very badly as this seems like a really expensive approach.

The CA does not have the ability to decrypt eavesdropped HTTPS traffic for example.

As somebody who advocates a lot for my local government to finally, please please allow people to build housing in ways to merely allow people to choose to drive less, I think you are looking at this all wrong.

Even if we went back to early days of energy use, we are burning wood (or worse) and that is going to make for a truly ugly air quality.

Nobody wants to use X amount of energy, they actually want to accomplish Y amount of energy services. Current tech has X about four to five times as Y. As we electrify, it enables tech to get X very close to Y. But we also get to use cleaner energy as we electrify.

If my government won't even let me reduce Y for those people that want to, then the idea of forcing everybody to drastically reduce Y, and leaving the X factor the same, will be truly disastrously ineffective.

I think that in the 1970s, this idea was far more reasonable. But as we have failed to make any progress on reducing the amount of energy services that people want, but we have made tons of progress in reducing the X factor, and in cleaning up energy generation, I no longer see it as a feasible or fruitful path.
It is so strange that people don't see what is happening at Tesla. They are driving billions of miles under AI control.

> wouldn't America lose that incentive to ensure Taiwan wasn't steamrolled by China

No, the opposite. Real trade enables balanced long-term interdependency, growth and innovation, unlike "free" trade focused on extraction and asymmetrical flows. The most valuable assets brought to the table by Taiwan and the USA are culture and these are complementary in the long term.
I think it is especially relevant in the time of coronavirus to also consider the idea that maybe you just don't need to go into work all the time (or even at regular times) for a large percentage of workers. Just have less cars on the road by running society a little differently.
These are completely unrelated. The former worry was that eventually AI would take over menial labor jobs. As you know, many AI divisions are basically in R&D right now with no tangible replacement for menial labor jobs. When a crisis hits, the jobs that are non-essential are the first to go.
Basically if your entire infrastructure is VMware based, and you need to do something like fail over your existing on-premise to the cloud, or scale way up past your physical infrastructure in a hurry, it makes GCP one of the providers you could possibly price out using without having to reinvent the wheel.

I have read the book: it explicitly and thoroughly debunks the idea that race was a factor in the development of modern societies. It provides a myriad of geographical and climate-based explanations why the course of history would result societies in the northern hemisphere set the direction of clocks for the globe.

It's honestly pretty refreshing to have a scientific explanation for why Aboriginals or Africans didn't set the direction of 'clockwise'. Without that explanation, I can faithfully assert "all humans are equal" but be confused by the apparent dominance on the world stage of Western societies. Armed with an explanation that has nothing to do with the innate abilities or intelligence or suitability in the modern global economy of the victims of circumstance, I can genuinely believe in equality.
What is DevNet Sandbox?

DevNet Sandbox makes Cisco's free spread of technology available to developers and engineers by providing packaged labs we call Sandboxes. That's right, totally free! There are two types of sandboxes, Always-On and Reservation. Each sandbox typically highlight one Cisco product (think, CallManager, APIC, etc). Sandboxes can be used for development, testing APIs, learning how to configure a product, training, hack-a-thons, and much more!

Heat pump technology has come an amazing way, as well!

Switching to an electric heat pump water heater from my natural gas water heater saves nearly as many emissions per year as stopping 12,000 vehicle miles. And it saves money, though it front loads the cost a tiny bit.

We could have a massive economic boom just by retrofitting existing buildings with more efficient and modern technologies.

For non-US HN readers:

In the US, the IRS assumes you make a certain amount in tips if you work in a job that customarily allows tipping.

So when a customer doesn't tip, the waiter still has to pay taxes on the money you didn't give them.

But wait, it gets worse (this being the US):

Some states allow paying waiters less than minimum wage if tipping is customary. As low as $2/hour.

So a waiter could actually end up owing more money in taxes than what they made that day. All this, and no health or dental insurance, or pension.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

Actually, I will go on. Since most states are at-will, you can be fired for any or no reason at any time.

But just as common, the restaurant manager will threaten you with reduced hours if you call in sick, or get a customer complaint (ie. "My spaghetti wasn't al dente. What's wrong with that waiter today.") Or if you don't do the manager "favors" (see the Chipotle scandal.)

The best way to get your hermetic builds in order is to _always_ use remote execution and ensure that your executor nodes don't have compilers and headers just laying around. Force yourself to get the toolchain under bazel's control.

I think the reason the public finds this so mysterious is the documentation for CROSSTOOL is terrible, and virtually all of the people who learned how to use blaze at Google go out in the industry with no understanding at all of CROSSTOOL, because there's a small dedicated team who maintain it.
