For those saying "Chaos Engineering", first off, the poster is well aware of Chaos Engineering. He's an AWS Hero and the founder of Tarsnap.

Secondly, this would help make CE better. I actually asked Amazon for an API to do this ten years ago when I was working on Chaos Monkey.

I asked for an API to do a hard power off of an instance. To this day, you can only do a graceful power off. I want to know what happens when the instance just goes away.

I also asked for an API to slow down networking, set a random packet drop rate, EBS failures, etc. All of these things can be simulated with software, but it's still not exactly the same as when it happens outside the OS.

Basically I want an API where I can torture an EC2 instance to see what happens to it, for science!
I found it easier to get exercise, enough sleep and good food while working for home.

It was generally more tiring with kids at home, but specifically I had more time to exercise and when we went outside as familly I as adult had waaay more chance to move too. Since there were no kids outside, we went to place where I could do sport too more often.
Yup. They saved a keyword or two but now you need to count the semicolons to see if there is an increment action.

I don't think it makes a big difference either way.
> they just pay for more auditing and public research.

Who is Intel paying to audit their chips?
I believe the thermal mass for mud and adobe is higher than cinder block or stick frame buildings so the structure gets cooled in the night and remains cool throughout the day with the added benefit of providing some additional warmth in the night.
This is the cool kind of thing a behemoth like Google can and should please the world with, from a company their size. Unfortunately it's been at the expense of user privacy and competition.

Nonetheless I admire (some of) the new places they take us.
Privacy and long term support converted me from Android to iOS in 2019.

I’d say the narrative is working :)

Try and find an alternative device that has the same level of privacy and updates for 5 years.

You can do it if you flash a rom on your android device - but that’s not currently realistic for most of the current user base.

That's true. PDFs and other document formats are also great because you can include large volumes of data that is never used in the final output.
Yeah, instead of all that fantasizing, you're instead fantasizing a world wherein 40 trillion was the quoted number.

Again, when Tucker Carlson is the president, think long and hard about this moment.
The Magna Carta is all about decentralizing power, which is the foundation of Democracy.
> you can legally call main in C

Good point. That makes it relatively difficult (not impossible) to compile `main` differently from other functions, other than diagnosing bad signatures if that's what the hosted environment requires, since it has to be callable like other functions.
His team also took Kendal Mint Cake up Everest:

> Sir Edmund Hillary and his team carried Romney's Kendal Mint Cake with them on the first successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953. The packaging currently includes the following: “'We sat on the snow and looked at the country far below us … we nibbled Kendal Mint Cake.' A member of the successful Everest expedition wrote – 'It was easily the most popular item on our high altitude ration – our only criticism was that we did not have enough of it.'”

Imagine a Peppermint Pattie, but intensified by an order of magnitude.
Hey, I used their loadbalancers for a couple months, and they only failed every 30 days, that's not high frequency.
Too bad the author skips over envp and what comes after...

http://dbp-consulting.com/tutorials/debugging/linuxProgramSt... mentions something really fun after envp, which is the ELF auxillary info, including a random seed offered by the kernel to seed rand if you want it.

See: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getauxval.3.html
You rarely get local recipes in pubs. Lancashire hotpot, roast dinner with a yorkshire pud, breast of lamb and peas, scotch broth, and other wonderful delicacies like the pie barm, a fish supper with good gravy, black pudding with your breakfast, mash potato with cheese and beans, etc.

The reason you don't see them on a restaurant menu is because they're mostly functional meals you can leave in a slow cooker, or throw together with whatever you've got in the cupboards.

You will never know local british cuisine unless you were raised with it.
This type of service would be a compliment to those techniques, not replace them. Ideally we could have both.
Note that Quarkus starts very fast on Java 14 too. With JDK 14 their hello world app starts in about 600msec on my laptop. HotSpot got optimised a lot over the years and Quarkus gets some of its speed boost by just doing less dynamic stuff at startup.
This article is all well and good but realistically, in 2020, if you were a teacher at any grade level who taught about slavery or colonialism with any nuance whatsoever your career would be promptly executed by internet firing squad.
6 out of the last 7 people to be elected US president ran under the "outsider" banner, usually (wasn't alive for the earliest ones, so not entirely clear on the messaging) against someone they could coherently paint as an "insider".

It's not just the last election, is what I'm saying.
Intelligent Health 2020 (AI in healthcare conference)
Biden's campaign promise to donors is "Nothing will fundamentally change." It is not very likely that what he does in power will have very much to do with the campaign rhetoric.
I'm not suggesting a specific single solution here. It's evidence of an imbalance between overall economic productivity and what we are paying hourly workers to support that productivity.

Improving base pay and benefits could help, but it also doesn't help if there's no specific wage-paying job for every potential worker anymore.
The NeRF-W paper is definitely not claiming that the entire capability is novel. The authors even cite the original Photo Tourism paper in the "Related Work" section. The introduction explains what makes their approach different:

> The Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) approach [21] implicitly models the radiance field and density of a scene within the weights of a neural network. Direct volume rendering is then used to synthesize new views, demonstrating a heretofore unprecedented level of fidelity on a range of challenging scenes.

Reconstructing camera positions and sparse point clouds is not really the "difficult part"; it's been a fairly well-understood problem for more than a decade, as you point out. Generating high-quality images without obtrusive artifacts is a much harder problem, and Photosynth didn't even try to solve it.
It's more of an obsession with cutting costs to the bare minimum combined with a pretty good deal with ARM. Apple chips have bad just as many issues in terms of security.
Dumb question here from a CE beginner but can’t you have a Docker image for that service and turn it off?
Came here to say this exact thing. There have been a variety of techniques to achieve this - some intrusive to your binaries (i.e. they require embedding specific libraries) and others that are more "external" (ex: tc/iptables).

The "real" challenge is not creating chaos but managing it and verifying that your apps are resilient to said chaos.
I know you are being sarcastic but it would result in a 10x better experience for the user.
A couple:

1. /collapse hides all embedded documents. useful for channels where lots of people post gifs, documents, etc hiding the main discussion content.

2. s/old-word/new-word works for a quick typo edit.

3. mute everything. turn off notifications. reclaim your day/life.
> I asked for an API to do a hard power off of an instance. To this day, you can only do a graceful power off. I want to know what happens when the instance just goes away.

Wouldn't just running "halt -f" do the same?
Furthermore, there's a presumption of ill intent - a question begged: do all employee replacements occur because the employer unethically fires their employee?
>> Including texts in Finnish and Hungarian almost ensures that parts of the archive will be lost 1000 years from now. Even if those languages are alive in 1000 years, the likelihood that interpreting period Finnish and Hungarian from 2020 will be possible is far smaller than the likelihood that interpreting period English from 2020 will be possible.

> Being trained as a historian, the idea of throwing away original texts in favour of translations because they're not in « the right language » is hurting my soul.

> If a text is lost because it's only written in Hungarian, it means the Hungarian language is lost. And that means not enough texts written in it were kept.

Yeah, exactly. The GP has it bass ackwards. If you have concerns like the GP about intelligibility, then include both the original and the translation. That way even if Finnish and Hungarian go extinct and the archive is recovered, those parallel texts can be used to recover the Finnish and Hungarian languages themselves.

And I'm sure someone who is reading this is questioning the value of even preserving the Finnish and Hungarian languages when you've already captured the "knowledge" in English. All I have to say to that is future linguists will probably be very frustrated with losing two non-Indo-European languages to study, just like we're frustrated that we can't read Etruscan writings anymore.
I'm a mediawiki developer, out of curiosity what was the name of your extension?

Sometimes people get carried away with that process (deletionists are everywhere ;), but its primarily supposed to be for extensions that haven't been updated in a long time and don't work with the current version of mediawiki.
I dunno. McConnell and Cruz are very proud of their obstructionism. Democrats continue to reach across the aisle, and for what? That doesn't get reciprocated anymore.
Amazon finally finds a good fit at the mall
Polestar 2 has a great cabin–and deep Android integration
I'd encourage readers to just check out the thread to see how true that is.
I watched a few people (Nat Eliason, Tiago Forte, Abi Abdaal) use Roam, EverNote & Notion and they spend so much time in a categorising phase, and the idea of a note having one "parent" topic really restricts cross linking of ideas, Especially in folder based setups like Evernote.

Something like this is very cool and looks like it helps solve that problem. Does it have a roam style graph? Can't see one from screenshots.
Improving video encodes for legacy devices
Try opening it in private mode (assuming yours is configured to disable addons) or another browser. It's fine for me in Firefox private mode (I have uMatrix installed and was too lazy to configure it for the site to work.) Blogspot has always had some crazy javascript (I think) required rendering.
Even in a modern Unix, globs are expanded by the shell before invoking exec(3) with the individual arguments split out. They are not split/expanded by the C runtime.
RatchetJS - Great framework for prototyping
I think one of the issues is the domain of is vast. One developer may be working on a basic CRUD app while the next is working safety critical code on a vessel going to Mars.

There are definitely areas where the prudent thing for a developer to do is raise a dissenting opinion, if not halting work. What seems lacking is clear industry consensus standards to back up that decision.
> There is a third argument to main

Note that on macOS there is an additional fourth argument to main, char *apple[] (I would write this as a double pointer, but Hacker News would eat it if I did). It contains things passed on from the kernel mostly on relevant to libc and dyld.
Oh, right, yeah that's obvious now.

Nothing to do with food safety though.
I’m talking more about decolonisation. If you steal something it was and is never yours to begin with. GFA was only necessary because of colonial history and continuing attitudes and the power games that come with them.

There is one school of thought (which the GFA falls under) which is what’s happened in the past is legitimate and we have to work from where we are and there is another which is that the colonial past is illegitimate and therefore any gains are also illegitimate and most be returned to their rightful owner.

I don’t subscribe to either necessarily but seeing as continuing prevailing attitudes among the colonial elite haven’t changed one bit I think we have no choice but to confront them gloves off style. It’s literally stealing our collective global future.
> Workstations should be on a Smart-UPS because the PSU capacitor won't have the capacity for a brownout with a Xeon-class CPU and multiple GPUs.

Also make sure it's rated for the load. My UPS went "lol nope" when I lost power while I was gaming, because I had forgotten about it when I went from single mid-range GPU to SLI top-end GPU...
I thought the same. Now I think it is simply argument-count and argument-values. Not sure if that is correct!
The Multi-Path Career
Get rested and get ready, under either Trump or Biden, the level of unrest and discontent will be much higher than it was. We will win eventually, but it will look like a slow incremental climb with sudden set backs, followed by bursts of energy and further set backs and crises, until suddenly and shockingly we take power. That's how it always goes.
I haven't read the document but what's wrong with the term "human"? Is there some other intelligent life-form on this planet contributing to technology and software today that I'm unaware of?

Picking on the word human just seems nit-picky, like someone's not woke enough to use a more inclusive term.
That's not the issue OP is addressing. If Google is ranking them lower because it's a slow, crappy, ad-ridden site, that's understandable. It's stealing their data and presenting it as their own that's the problem here.

A site being badly designed does not mean they're suddenly not protected by copyright.
I suggest building your own UPS with strictly DC outputs. Most of what you'll be plugging in runs on DC anyway. This does mean you'll need to dig into some of your equipment to find the DC access point, but on other equipment you'll only need to cut the wall wart off the end of the cord.

You can choose your own battery and battery maintenance equipment for maximum longevity, and choose your own switched power supply with different tap points for different DC voltages.

This is simpler and more reliable than AC line-interactive UPSes because synchronizing an inverter with wall-socket power is not required. Yes, you need some EE skills to build it, but the end result will be far more reliable than a cheap off-the-shelf UPS.
For some strange reason Fox News and AM Talk Radio never mention that part. So the message never reaches the base. The only people who would mention it are the untrustworthy lieberal media.
Sure, and I don't disagree that uid might need to change at runtime, but here we're talking about a struct field being const.
I can see a use case for this being implemented on top of Kubernetes. I've no idea if that's achievable, but could go some way to make your code more resilient.
The administration is trying to divorce us from much of our dependency on the global order. Part of this agenda comes with the (un?)fortunate fact that we can no longer economically farm out as many of the negative externalities of our consumption to the third world, if we want to mantain it.

From that perspective, deregulating areas which prevent us from competing in historically outsourced industries with large ecological footprints makes perfect sense to them.

I expect this to have a bet-negative impact on our ecosystems, and quality of life. But with any luck, our more informed public - faced with the real externalities of their lifestyles, will be more readily swayed to adjust their consumption patterns in order to make for a better world.
That's not bad actually. On par with apple when you put them head to head.
If you think that's outlandish try comparing it to x86 which is riddled with undocumented opcode's and backdoors.
Yep... there are ways to make it happen.
Freeletics is great, but sometimes it pushes you too much. The whole no excuses thing is great and motivating, untill you injure yourself by overtraining and not having enough rest.

I know, cause I injured myself like that and could not exercise properly for a year.

Just something to be cautious about.
On Linux, after argc, argv and envp comes the even more mysterious auxv, a key-value store for binary data. The kernel shoves a lot of interesting stuff into auxv, including AT_RANDOM - 16 random bytes (used to construct stack canaries and function pointer encryption keys), AT_HWCAP (processor capability flags), and AT_SECURE (a flag specifying if the program is setuid and therefore security sensitive). Although a lot of it is meant just for internal C library use, it can be helpful for programmers too (e.g. being able to check hardware capabilities without a trip to cpuid).
It's kind of sad that "for" is the keyword programming languages settled on for the loop construct.

Ever since its counterpart "do" was dropped from the for-statement, it's just been utterly nonsensical. I mean how on earth does the word "for" convey a loop?

With the recently designed languages like Go and Swift taking so many cues from the Pascal side of the ALGOL language family, how nobody thought to pick up "repeat" or "loop" is simply beyond me.
I am not sure how civilisations thousands of years in the future, with potentially a lower level of technology could be able to decipher the data from the archive, seeing the encoding complexity and the number of steps required. Considering how much money GitHub received from microsoft, I think they could have recorded all uncompressed, engraved in stone...
Non-portable, though. It's original to Unix and in sufficiently good implementations and clones, but not even required by POSIX.
> Keep in mind that inter-imperial conflict arguably led to two world wars

I'm not an historian but my impression is that WWI was primarily the result of intra-European conflicts between the great powers with any colonial issues being little more than a sideshow. WWII in Europe then seems to have been a nearly inevitable consequence of unresolved issues from the prior war. The only aspect of the two wars that does look a great deal like a war between competing colonial empires was the Pacific Theater of the Second World War.
I would love to figure out howto implement something like this:
https://visjs.github.io/vis-timeline/examples/timeline/

into a blog/photo story of sorts to show my son's development.

Also want to see if something using this as a base platform into a social media.

So instead of horizontal scrolling, the obvious direction would me vertical to suit more mobile/tablet browsing which I believe is more "conventional."

As I commented below, I'm trying to accomplish the exact same thing you're after.

-Self hosted or some very very trusting src/platform

-Super easy to use (ie it must be grandma tested)

-All platforms for sure.

Adding to you Nice-to-haves:
-Jitsi or brie.fi/ng webrtc video conf so can vid conf while viewing pics

-realtime whiteboarding with typing

of course trying to shoot for MVP for now...
The lack of coverage of colonialism in the British curriculum is really surprising to me.
But what's the value proposition of this solution then ? If I need to run separate processes anyway what's the benefit over running webpack with TS and a fork checker ?

Can you share some of the things you learned? I'd be curious to hear about unusual measures they've taken, especially around team's devices.
IMO it's a sure sign of a smooth brain to think that these people will just sit and wait for their wealth to be taxed to such an extent. They're only here because the tax regime is favorable. They can leave, and while they will lose some wealth, it's unlikely to be anywhere near 75%.
If you set up a bunch of people on the Northpole and support them, that's a colony. If you take someone else's land, murder them, enslave them or exploit them that is conquest. The 'colonies' of yesteryear were simply brutal exploitation strategies executed with zero consideration for anybody's rights except for those of the conquerors.

Since those countries - without exception very wealthy, and mostly European though there are some exceptions - tend to be all very civilized now we no longer want to be faced with this uncomfortable truth: that we went from famines and plagues to riches within a few hundred years over the backs of untold people's lives destroyed.

In school we don't teach it other than with some strange form of national pride. We only tell the story from some glorified explorer's point of view. But when viewed from the side of the indigenous people the sight of a Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, German, Spanish or some other seafaring nation was that your days were numbered.

Any accidental positive happenstances do not negate that conquest is war and war is a net negative, no matter how much you twist it and even if it benefits the aggressor financially.
No, I don't find the amount reasonable because of two reasons:

1) They charge so high because there are few players with so many internal contacts. So this is a monopoly or oligopoly market just taking advantage of the system. I mean it is hard because of these people. These people lobby to keep such systems in place.

2) It is unreasonable for any government, especially in a developing country to make so many demands of the illiterate and poor population. If such a situation continues, poor people will never be able to manufacture anything.

This creates a social division almost alike slaves and masters. Alike the Soviet System of the Elite Aristocrats, Their friends in rich, non-competition businesses and the government and the serfs and peasants.
It would be really close yes, but not exactly the same as ripping the power cord out. It still gives the OS a hint that shutdown is coming.
The per-mile cost of rail or bus is much, much lower than a car or SUV.

If they are so mismanaged that they can't offer drastically lower prices, then driving them out of business and replacing them with better management seems like a great idea.

OS-level 'turn off' options don't replicate what happens when you yank power on a rack of equipment.

Pretty much every option you have from the OS will let caches flush, will have in-progress writes complete.

Yank the power and none of that will happen. It'll let you actually see what level of fibbing your OS and hardware are telling you.

Oh you got a result from that flush to disk? It completed? Are you sure? Really really sure? Lets find out...

Automatically painting the other side as stupid is why the Democrats lost in 2016 (i.e. "deplorables"). It only drivers those voters to the other side.
