> If I do that with a linux/solaris/mdadm/zfs/btrfs/whatever, and it fails, who will be the one blamed for the failure? Me of course.

So don't create a 16-drive RAID5 at all.

> If i select a propper raid setup, and it still failes, it's better if it fails on an IBM than on my duct-tape linux/mdadm/zfs/btrfs/whatever solution, because again, I personally can say, that i did what the vendor (IBM) recommended in their brochure, and their solution failed.

But you're the one who chose the vendor, and evaluated their solution, and accepted it. So you're still fired.

> Either way, you have to restore from backup.

The point is there's a third option. Use a level of redundancy appropriate to the importance of the system, and then it doesn't fail to begin with and it isn't necessary to divert blame. Meanwhile you get to show your boss how you saved the company millions of dollars.

> And if there is some random bug (eg. kernel oops when mounting volume), there's IBM support on the call. Working with standard options, means standard, well-known bugs, and that means that support can help fix them.

Which you can still get for linux/solaris/mdadm/zfs/btrfs/whatever from a variety of vendors if you really want it. But because they're generic technologies, this also means you can get that support from multiple competing providers (so the cost is lower), including per-incident support once something happens that requires it instead of having to buy a support contract you may not ever need.

Which you generally won't need, because the likes of mdadm are more widely used (and so better tested) than any individual vendor's proprietary hardware RAID solution, and can also recover more easily from things like controller failures because the replacement controller needs no state and is not required to match in firmware version or even model.
Yes! That's something I really appreciate about ThinkPads.
As someone who just graduated college and found geeksforgeeks, cplusplusreference, and w3schools quite helpful for Algorithms, c++ Syntax, and learning some basic web design stuff (respectively).....what should I be using? I see a lot of people hating on them....but they all seemed alright to me. Is it just because they are too basic? (I used a lot of these things for just learning basic things I either forgot the syntax for or needed a quick introduction).

I'd especially like to know for c++.
I just assumed that I failed to understand how pinterest works.

> Netflix in 2020 is an entirely different service than it was in 2011

so the content creation companies shot themselves in the foot by pulling their content to try to own the distribution platform (because it would theoretically give 'em more profits vs sharing it with netflix).

But consumers saw value in netflix because the large library of content to be had for around $10 price point - this beats piracy of $0 for unlimited content. Now, for the same level of content as before, you'd have to pay for a half-dozen or so subscription services - likely adding up to 60-90 dollars per month. Piracy is starting to look good again for most people.

Excedrin or the generic OTC "migraine" medications are good for this: a bit of caffeine, aspirin, and acetaminophen. Easier to carry around than having to scout out coffee and a bit more general purpose than caffeine pills alone.
I don't see that as a counter. Yes, this might be bad long term for people staying in SF, and good long term for people outside of SF/the US. But individually you can look for opportunities in your own local market and get local market rates, or break that paradigm and look at other markets, just like companies are waking up to hiring employees in cheaper markets (beyond hiring consulting firms). Like everything in markets, there's always opportunities for the wise to take advantage of, on both sides

I would repatriate to a quiet fjord in northern Norway, code outdoors in the summer with Grieg echoing through the fjord. In the winter I'd code in the sun room while the northern lights swirled overhead.

That would be my dream at least. For those that have been to northern Norway, you'll get this. For those that haven't, you'll just scratch your head.

Meanwhile here I am debating about doubling down on Seattle with cheap real estate - or Florida.

You should go out and travel! I'm planning on doing so because a home purchase is not overnight - and even then I could never really settle down somewhere. The world is accepting remote work - take the opportunity and worse comes to worse you have a family in the area.
You'll pay lower taxes than, say, in America. But it's expensive for many things and it can be hard to make friends. That said, it's a stunningly beautiful place to live.
It's odd, I rarely drink but sometimes I will and alcohol motivates me to just bang out code or do something else that I've been putting off for a while. I've noticed this at night for personal projects but also after the rare work lunches.

I'm not saying it's good quality code, but it definitely removes the barriers to starting that I often struggle to get over. And starting is the most important step of iterating, I can fix it up tomorrow.

Bingo. In a high COL area, you have the option to retain a significant surplus of your exchanged labor if you trade off COL for inconvenience, which adds up to compounding gains over time. And as your thought experiment proves, the real move is to relocate after a substantial tranche of that money has been earned, at which point the lower earnings are no longer as much of an issue.

Another way I've been thinking about it over the past few days is that this also makes side project optionality significantly more attractive. If you can make a side project that makes XX% of your BigCo T1City pay, the point at which you're making top 50% percentile low COL MRR could become significantly lower than if you planned on remaining at that BigCo in BigCity forever.
Eh, it's all a balancing act. The quality of life benefits to having an occasional late-day cup of coffee may outweigh minor loss in sleep quality.

Netflix stuck on season 5.

Why?

Prob same old bullshit. Exclusivity and some shit murdoch run network trying to maintain relevance in a youtube world.

Netflix is garbage all over the world, it was only every half decent in USA where its now being erroded
Tents? I didn't realize it has gotten that bad. Do they try to remove them?
The trackpad criticism is fair. I switched to using tap-to-click on trackpads a long time ago (because of how bad linux handled MacBook trackpads) so thats not something that I particularly notice.

This might be useful to blacklist some of the shopping results when you want facts and not shopping results. Sometimes I google "how does X work" type questions, and I get pages of links of things I should buy. The top stuff are obvious ads, but the non-ad results are basically shopping sites, too. That's mean of Google. They're our main source of information ("How does X work") and instead they want to redirect you to shopping because .. they can.

I notice -shopping helps... magically. But not enough.

Maybe the blacklist is the right idea. Can there be a magic incantation to exclude or include groups of blacklisted sites on a whim?
I would think the heavy metals bit might be about metals in the coffee itself, from the soil it's grown in. This is common for cacao[0]. What sucks is, iirc, only the EU has limits for cadmium in food imports (or may in the near future?). Beyond that, California requires stuff to have a Proposition 65 label if it's too high in cadmium (but California's limit is significantly higher than what the EU was going to be).

I have been a nomad for the past 2 years, kinda but I position myself down for 2 months at a time because it's hectic to get anything done if you do it every week/few weeks or worse - weekend.

I find that I need a solid week to a week and a half to get used to an area, even if I know it pretty well. Airbnbs are all over the place and no true area is the same as another.

When you say 'some' you're either being disingenuous or aren't good at statistics. It's not the norm or even common. It's the rare side effect.

A lot of people underestimate how important this is for us. So many countries in which I'd love to live are ruled out immediately, and we simply don't have the flexibility to only take into consideration cost of living, natural beauty, family, etc.

Relatively speaking, are very few places in the world where you can live a "normal" life as an LGBT person.
Very little traffic, yet enough to be annoying?
Technically, you still need delimiters in RPN, so "2 5 4 + ×" won't get you anything, because it's invalid. You need "2 ENTER 5 ENTER 4 + ×"

But that is both mentally more difficult to handle and physically more difficult to input than "5 ENTER 4 + 2 ×", so I wouldn't count this as a strike against the Sinclair even theoretically.

I guess the legal argument akins that of Limewire and Pirate Bay
> every time i sign up again I find it lacking tonnes of content.

This has nothing to do with Netflix though and everything to do with broadcasters buying rights in a region/country.

If ABC agreed to an exclusive license of Arrow to TV3 Australia, then Netflix cannot stream Arrow to Australia customers of Netflix. But can stream to New Zealand.

What these production companies need to do is stop being greedy, let a few services exist for competition, and allow licensing to 1 or more services.

As consumers we may need to buy 2-3 subscriptions, but production companies can pick and choose which services have their content by licensing to the highest bidder.

Unfortunately what we have is every production company trying to run their own service to get the maximum profits which means consumers are stuck buying 5+ services to watch all we want. And because of this, piracy will continue to exist.

I don't think you ever stop learning C++... :)

But I trust cppreference more for the details, which are often necessary for C++ because, well, the devil's in the details. (And to be totally honest, the styling is just nicer.)

Compare the docs for std::vector for example, cplusplus[0] and cppreference[1]. The former spends three paragraphs explaining the internals, whereas the latter only spends one. The latter also includes information about what's been introduced on which language version (11, 17, 20) and assorted facts that the former doesn't discuss, e.g. the various container contracts that vector fulfills.

Taipei, Taiwan The most underrated city/country in Asia :

- Chill and relax

- Awesome people, polite and clean

- Best place in the world to work from cafes. Many cafes shops welcome people who works for long hours. They also care about cafe ;) I actually prefer to work from cafes than co-working here

- Surrounded by nature, mountain, sea, river are within 45minutes reach. Hundred of trails around Taipei.

- Metro / Bus system is top notch, no car needed, it's flat so you can bike everywhere easily. The bike sharing (uBike) is everywhere. I use it daily.

- People are genuinely kind, friendly, curious. Did I mentioned people 2 times? They deserve a 3rd mentioned, they really are.

- Visa is easy to get if you are employed (aka not freelancing), and earn more than usd5.5k/month, or work in a "trendy" field, you can get the "gold card" visa for 3 years that comes with a work visa, that is not attached to any company! Is any other country has such a perk to attract talent? I'm not aware of.

- Great healthcare (and the best best country that managed the coronavirus)

- LGBT friendly

- Warm (but humid)

- Convenient , 24/7 convenience stores, within 2 minutes walk from everywhere, really often, 2 convenience stores face each other (no kidding)

- Awesome international food scene , you can find any western food , and local food is amazing. Japanese food is amazing, as good as in Japan, but cheaper (it's an old japanese colony, and the favorite destination of japanese people)

- It's a better China (I lived in China for 4 years)

Cons:

- It is so relax / chill that it somehow bugs me. I sometimes worry to become "soft", staying here bc it's too convenenient

- Wish the startup / tech scene was better

ps: if you live in Taipei hit me up :)

pps: People often think Taiwan is China, but it's not. It has a totally different vibe and Taiwanese has a totally different personality. The only thing in common is the language
Invaluable for students in film school to showcase their work to a worldwide audience before they make it big in Hollywood.

That was recently fixed in mdadm. You can now specify a journal device (--write-journal) which closes the write hole. I don't see any reason btrfs couldn't do something equivalent.

This style of coop multi-tasking was in Crash Team Racing on PS1 for a while. Unfortunately on a machine with only 2meg of ram it turned out to take too much memory and be too fragile. The stacks had to be small, add one printf for debugging and you'd overflow the stack. Eventually it was torn out.
The threat of an earthquake which may happen anytime between now and 500 years from now doesn't bother me. It seems better than living somewhere with frequent flooding, tornadoes or hurricanes like many people do.

Yes this makes total sense to me. The pay bump in SF is to get sufficient good people in SF, which the company cares about because it has an office there and needs local people. That rationale evaporates for remote work.

> so the content creation companies shot themselves in the foot

Analysts speculate that the market for streaming services will saturate eventually, but I’m not sure we’ve seen it yet. Disney’s stock is the only one I can see that doesn’t have a YTD gain, but that particular decline follows the the global market trends and Disney faces hard times with their parks these days. Bottom line is that these new platforms don’t seem to be hurting that much.

Large content owners saw the writing on the wall when they were negotiating their contracts with Netflix by adding termination clauses once Netflix viewership reached a certain point.

The consumers are really the only ones hurting at the moment IMO.
What about writing CF to begin with for all your Lambda functions and setting up all their permissions to work alongside whatever other resources you have?

There are no “all of your lambda functions” with the proxy integration. You write your standard Node/Express, C#/WebAPI, Python/Flask API as you normally would and add two or three lines of code that translates the lambda event to the form your framework expects. I’ve seen similar proxy handlers for PHP, and Ruby. I am sure there is one for Java.

As far as setting up your permissions, you would have to create the same roles regardless and attach them to your EC2 instance or Fargate definition.

But as far the CF template. Here you go:

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-express/blob/maste...

Just make sure your build artifacts end up in the path specified by the CodeUri and change your runtime to match your language. I’ve used this same template for JS, C#, and Python.

Nobody said anything about Docker or Fargate. This has nothing to do with the topic. My problems had no need for using Docker. Do you randomly pick a tool kit and just hope it works out? I suspect you're not really working at scale and costs aren't a concern.

You’re using your standard framework that you would usually use. You can use whatever deployment pipeline just as easily to deploy to EC2 with no code changes.

Great job. We are all proud of you I guess, but this is not how engineering works, especially when you're building at scale.

Actually it is. Since you are using a standard framework choose whatever deployment target you want....

Have you looked into Express and what dependencies it has, or do you just randomly pick the new framework of the week? I don't mean this as an attack, but I'm more than slightly annoyed that you keep referring to Node and Express, when that has nothing to do with the problems I'm trying to solve.

I also mentioned C# and Python. But as far as Java/Spring. Here you go.

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-java-container/wik...

The funny thing is you've written out all these lengthy posts but never stopped to ask about whatever constraints the system has. You started with the solution and are basically now looking at one of my constraints (JVM ecosystem) and are saying it's not a good choice.

I’ve also just posted a Java solution. The constraints of Lambda are well known and separate from Java - 15 minute runtime, limited CPU/Memory options and a 512MB limit of local TMP storage.

In the real world, we often don't have the ability to randomly swap out a language. There's enough properly tested code that already exists or a massive code base that entire teams are supporting. They're not going to drop that just so they can go pick up a shiny new framework or product offering. LOL.

My suggestion didn’t require “switching out the language”. Proxy integration works with every supported language - including Java. It also works with languages like PHP that are not supported via custom runtimes and third party open source solutions.
Our org has instituted threat modeling as part of our SDL and it has been instrumental in building a culture of security focus. We found that it both allowed teams to build relationships with us while also setting aside time for them to think specifically about the security of their feature. If you’re thinking about starting this, do it! The benefits for us have been enormous.
