AFAIK with Fargate a lot of this is handled for you, as long as you have the auto scaling group.

We have this setup with two capacity providers (FARGATE_SPOT and FARGATE) with a 75/25% split, meaning that even if there are no spot instances available we will still be up.

The benefit of Fargate being that we don't need to care if certain instance sizes are not available as that is handled by AWS.

Feeling sad about something, doesn't mean you're sad about it all the
time, that's suffering. You just can't control every emotion in you and
there's also no need for it, it's just part of being human. Trying to
control every emotion is certainly more harmful than accepting them.

Show HN: SessionForward – Simple user session replays and heatmaps
Their products are designed to work offline. Despite the cloud being down I have full local functionality right now. (Though I can't see my history, surprised they don't cache that locally).

Last year when I did a 9-day canoe trip with no cell phone reception, all of my Garmin gear worked flawlessly (wearables, navigation devices, and their offline map app). Can't say the same about my friends iWatches/fitbits or even some stuff on various stuff of iPhones and my pixel.
Hello HN, I started working on SessionForward a few months ago, when working on a UX/UI project for a client, and could not find an tools for Sessions Replays and Heatmaps generation, which would target developers. The project is still very much in Beta, so rough around the edges. If you decide to try it out and you have any suggestions, I am happy to hear about it! I will not charge for product usage for at least a few months, till a more polished version of it will be available.

Which would most likely worsen the obesity epidemic in america.

The solution to saving costs is to go for cheaper cloud providers or run k8s on VPS's/colocated physical hardware.

I'm not sure where the idea came from that this is hard to do.

To answer your questions in order:

1) People warned aggressively about lock-in of cloud providers with proprietary extensions and you must have chosen not to listen; so, I have little sympathy.

I'm not saying it's black and white; but I hope that you got your velocity required to hit market faster and have made more than you spent because this is the price you paid; and now to get out you'll have to invest a little time on cleaning house, that's the reality of lock-in.

2) S3 is pretty easy as there are "s3 compatible" FOSS projects; min.io comes to mind, or ceph with a RADOS plugin, or Riak with the s3 plugin... there's also s3proxy with a multitude of backends..

3) Aurora serverless is replaced by knative

4) Beanstalk is just classical servers with an auto-scaler component, auto-scaling depends greatly on your provider, so I can't say how easy or hard it will be, if you're using kubernetes then understanding your load should be easy at least.

Wayfair conspiracy theorists clog National Human Trafficking Hotline
Government-created (this includes central bank-created) inflation is a form of theft from savers and laborers. Ideally there'd be none from that source.

Theft executed in a controlled way shouldn't be viewed as ideal.

As per the interview there is no doubt whatsoever what the intent is: create inflation higher than yield on government debt (which presumably includes the rate of inflation, perceived risk and other factors) and rob the bondholders (also known as savers, which includes workers with retirement plans or other savings).

Before we muse on what inflation rates may be optimal, perhaps we should wonder about the morality and legality of institutionalized theft at scale. If I stole 2% of your savings you'd probably want me in jail. The government and central bank aims to steal 2% every year and statists wonder if 4% or 1% may be better.
To be fair, I almost never trust polls. So much is dependent on how the questions are phrased and the context.

In the gospels Jesus is a guy who walks around talking in parables and analogies 100% of the time. Taking his sentences literally and building an elaborate theology involving an eternal lake of fire doesn't seem true to the spirit of things at all.

Nevermind that the gospels themselves are copies of copies of texts that were written long after this man lives.

Having been brought up evangelical Christian I just find the whole thing kind of baffling and a little enraging now. What I was taught was in scriptures isn't, really. If you read them again without the template of the interpretation given by the church there's dozens of different ways to interpret that look nothing like Christian (protestant or catholic) theology.

If I weren't an atheist now I'd at least be some kind of heterodox non-Nicean blasphemer, because it's absolutely confusing to me that anybody can take the council of Nicea and related councils seriously.
The headline is misleading. This quote tells the actual story:

"In a survey released Wednesday of 760 museum directors, 33% of them said there was either a "significant risk" of closing permanently by next fall or that they didn't know if their institutions would survive."

It still shows a high level of uncertainty, but 1/3rd of museums are not saying they may be shutting down in 2020, as the headline would imply. They do have short runways, but note the discrepancy between 33% saying they aren't sure if they will make it a year, yet 87% saying they do not have a year of runway. 44% therefore have short runways yet do not doubt incoming funding.

What we should do is help the funding return to the other 33% in the next 6-12 months.

Here's the declaration of the parameters:

Sorry, but no comments to be found :)

> NE,XE, and FE "E" means "error"? Maybe.

Wrong guess - "E" means "Evaluation" as in "to be evaluated" in this case. It's also not clear which are inputs and outputs and primitive data types give no indication at all about constraints and use-case.

> IERR is an error flag. Idiomatic fortran there.

Now that's true, but idiomatic cases that are well documented and don't benefit from AI documentation. Simple pattern matching will do.

The point I was trying to make wasn't really about any specific programming language either. The point is rather that documentation requires translating implementation to intent and purpose.

If you have a system that's capable of translating a program into purpose, constraints, and usage example(s) expressed in plain natural language; you have created a system to end all programming languages, because the inverse transform would be possible as well...

> “fired” means being terminated for cause, such as you stole something."

Ugh. All 50 states have At-will employment:

"At-will employment is a term used in U.S. labor law for contractual relationships in which an employee can be dismissed by an employer for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning,[1] as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's race, religion or sexuality)." [1]

Being 'fired' has a negative stigma, despite the fact you can be terminated for _any_ reason, including 'employee just didn't fit in'. Many companies are also very savvy about the process. Have a "negative" performance review, with a warning, then some time later be fired. Thus documenting a "cause" other than your ugly sweater.

What's interesting is when employers mistakenly believe they can disqualify you for unemployment because they fired you. This is not the case.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment
Just wanted to let you know that I'm exactly the same way. In fact, I've even thought perhaps I was the one with the psychological defect where I simply can't stand the 9-5 grind, regardless of the pay, status or type of work. No amount of hobbies, travel or social efforts have made a dent in the deep, existential dread I feel after only a few days in a "normal" job.

Unfortunately, while I have had some successes working for myself, I tend to find down periods come along where I need to work again and I convince myself it will be different this time. It usually never is, the only difference being the length of time I can stomach being employed and even then it's a difference of a few weeks at most.

Is this actually a defect that needs some kind of therapy to correct? Or is it an acceptable way to be? Who knows but I thought I'd let you know that it's not just you.
Incredibly Simple Social Deduction Board Game
I've recently started processing the GPX data from my (oldish) Garmin watch myself, thanks to https://www.gpsbabel.org.
"The largest UK study (Hastie et al. 2020) found an association between vitamin D status and COVID‑19 only in a univariable analysis (with this single potential causative factor). Importantly, no causal relationship between vitamin D status and COVID‑19 was found after adjustment for confounders such as comorbidity, socio-demographics, ethnicity, BMI and other baseline factors."

A couple of problems with interpreting that study:

First, it only looks at infections, not course of infection. The million-dollar question is not whether Vitamin D prevents an infection altogether, but how high the risk for a severe course of COVID-19 is, given a Vitamin-D deficiency.

Secondly, it adjusts for ethnicity and the "Townshend deprivation index" as a proxy for socio-demographics.

You have to look at the huge impact of being classified as "black" (i.e. very dark skin color), and the large impact of being classified as "south asian" (likely moderately dark skin color). No other factor besides "poor health" even comes close. These people are largely Vitamin-D deficient, so by controlling for that factor, you are implicitly lowering the impact of Vitamin-D. It's like saying "Oh yeah your Vitamin-D levels are low but really the problem is that you're black". If you look at the controlled numbers, being insufficient in Vitamin-D becomes protective (OR ~= 0.9), which doesn't make any sense.

"Townshend deprivation" measures household overcrowding and lack of access to a car, which are obviously factors that increase the risk of contracting any viral infection. Again, this shouldn't be controlled for in order to answer the question.

Of course a single-variate analysis is not enough, because many diseases are causal for low Vitamin-D levels, but a multi-variate analysis with too many variables isn't meaningful.
Normally I'd say there is more to the story, but this seems consistent with my experiences on Quora.

I'm not there person you replied to, but I think I would probably stay at my current job if I was financially independent.

I work for a small company. The company does foreign language training. Most of the business is one-on-one classes between real teachers and students. My job is basically R&D to figure out ways we might use software to improve the teaching/leaning process. My primary focus is on virtual reality, but I'm also exploring a lot in teleconferencing.

For about a year, I was the only software developer on staff. Our company website and our student portal are all developed by a consulting firm. I got to hire another developer about a month ago. We will never be responsible for the website. We strictly work on these R&D projects.

It's been the best job I've ever had. Most money I've ever made. It helps that the company culture is strongly tilted towards "employee empowerment", and not just as a platitude. Nobody brow beats me over anything. Nobody asks me to justify any hardware purchases (though I still do, because I think it's an important part of developing and documenting the projects). When I say something will take X long, they believe me and that's that.

If you like your work, if you like to build things, try finding a small company that isn't a software company. Definitely avoid consulting companies. I spent 15 years in consulting across a variety of company sizes and it was universally soul sucking (though the smaller orgs were definitely less so, up to the best time I had as a consultant was as a freelancer. It still wasn't as good as my current job, though).

Edit: somehow my phone auto corrected 15 years to 25. I'm not quite that old.
The answer is in the blog post ("Nubank understands the unique value of Clojure and Datomic, and is committed to continuing both without disruption." and the bullet points that follow.)
Quora is pretty much trash anyway. A lot of setup by stooges for business consultants to answer things.

You _will_ find useful info there and it is much easier to see it as the first response compared to a few years ago but I don't engage with any content beyond what I can see without logging in. Generally the quality of answers is pretty low unless it is in a popular subject or a "big name" answers.

I think the problem here isn’t that, so much as that Notion is using their editing interface even when you’re clearly only reading the document and can’t edit it, and kinda whitewashing it a bit so that it’s not actually editable (with event handlers to stop the normal editing things working, turning the caret colour transparent, &c.), and that seems to mess things up even further. (I don’t use Notion, but I presume their editing interface works better when it’s not read-only, because otherwise no one would be willing to use it.) Of course what they should have done is just produced the HTML (preferably server-side, but even client-side would be tolerable) and left it alone, no contenteditable, event handlers.
I think you're incorrect, although I hope you're not.

This idea will never become a reality for the vast majority of companies, for the exact same reason that companies fear piracy.
