mix release

Compiles everything, tar/gz's it, sends it to a private s3 bucket. On your server side, you periodically watch the s3 bucket, and when one of your nodes detects a relup, it downloads from the s3 bucket, kills itself. Systemd then restarts it, kicking into the newest version.

That's it. This is maybe about 50-100 lines of code, one external library (pick your AWS library of choice), and one systemd script. I think there's even a library for managing systemd from within the BEAM now.

If you want to be more sophisticated (a rolling blue-green deploy across an erlang cluster) you could probably do it with transactional locks with the :global module in about an additional 100-ish lines of code, including fully verifying the soundness of newly upgraded nodes using telemetry.

That's quite the debugging! I can see how you acquired your username.
You can choose to, or to not, go outside or into a restaurant. If you feel that your life is at risk due to covid then you should choose to not. Whether or not I go into a restaurant is of no consequence to you.
The colorized Peter Jackson WW1 documentary is the most dramatic example of how useful this is, of any that I've seen.

I think making the past seem more real and relevant is useful in helping people to learn from and understand our history by making it more relatable. Those were real, warm blooded people with hopes and dreams, dying by the tens of thousands in 1916. The more you humanize history (rather than being a rote, soulless text or object in a book), the better. Which takes nothing away from how beautiful B&W can be, there's no reason we can't preserve that history simultaneously.
Even for PIC and Atmel, you have much more choice if you're ok with QFN and TSOP packages.

The ARM microcontrollers aren't actually so much harder to use than the Atmel ones. I remember thinking that it was going to be much harder the first time I tried it, but if you stick with one of the popular ranges (e.g. STM), then the dev tools are good and there's lots of help available online.
I think the purpose of colarization of a video is same as mimicking a drawing in ruin that lost its paint. It is an interpretation of history from current time. If historian find the color is not represent the event accurately, it can be changed anyway, just like a painting.

> Let’s be honest. Hacktoberfest has never generated anything of value for open source.

That is a bold claim. Hacktoberfest being in the press reminded me how little I have been able to code in the last two years, and made me consider joining in FOSS again. There is a part of me that there is something elitist behind this. All these ordinary, run of the mill hackers intruding on the clique. What a horrible horrible blog post
Your account is immediately frozen if you log in just once via a US IP address. They track funds from known hacks and are not considered a safe option for hackers to liquidate. They have a much better reputation for service, exchange quality, and account safety than any of their non-KYC competitors. Not a single US dollar has passed through their platform -- nobody is using it for money laundering, but for speculative trading. They still have to convert to fiat somewhere. The fiat on their platform is synthetic. What more were they supposed to do?

I just hope this witch-hunt doesn't end the same as the Dread Pirate Roberts case for the government's political game on controlling cryptocurrencies and maintaining their monopoly over the financial system. Hayes is a great comedic writer and insightful analyst on the global financial system -- I highly recommend his posts on the Bitmex blog. However, I fear the tongue and cheek and comedy will be used against him in the case.
That would be an order of magnitude more maintainer effort than flagging spam is right now. Not to mention that the number of maintainers being aware of this event is probably quite low.

You could go -10% now but get it back in n amount of time. Still "behind" in a sense, but potentially ahead if you move to a low col area. I pay for a whole house in north Atlanta with less than people pay for an apartment in SF (houses also build up equity).

If the results are that unreliable, can you imagine how many false positives it must raise? And how much load that must put on the supervising staff who likely haven't got as much experience? It almost seems structurally determined to produce low quality results.

oh lol, welp sorry for making an assumption about what you meant. That alternative interpretation never occurred to me. I should've been more charitable in my interpretation, oh well.
you know what's pretty ridiculous... your 25 minutes old account attempting to call me out. you work for stripe or at another company that's doing or planning this?
I didn't know about the 10% pay cut and assumed salaries would be adjusted to the local market. You're right.

However, if the employees move to smaller markets they presumably have fewer employment options and less bargaining power in the future. So the company will save money over the long term too.
This is an eye opener - https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/07/hubert-horan-can-col...
The academic 'controversy' aside -which I think is BS, at least as it is presented in the article-, two things truly amaze me:

1) How beautiful of a city Wuppertal was in 1902. I have been to Wuppertal about 5 years ago, and it's ... well, not beautiful. Great people, though!
2) The appetite for engineering, for creating things, and the audacity of the late 19th century, early 20th century. A freaking flying train for a city of less than half a million of people. Contrast this to the changes over the past two decades in my hometown, which is about the same size as Wuppertal. The changes were marginal; a cancelled train route is what pops to mind.
> If you've got a photo of someone whose hair was white from age, and you colourise it as blonde, you've made them look younger and maybe given them a hair colour they never had.

But what about the opposite? What if a B&W photo shows someone with white hair, but his hair was blonde. Now the colorized photo is more accurate than the B&W photo. I just don't think you can claim B&W is more accurate absolutely.

> If that person is wearing an air force uniform and you colourise it to look more like an army uniform

Do you understand that the typical consumer of this media cannot tell the difference between air force, and army uniforms from 100 years ago? Get people interested in history, then worry about the little details like the color of someone's hair or uniform.

Get out of your ivory tower and into the real world. Most people's knowledge of history is abysmal. History is boring, as it is taught in schools today.

This is what I experienced this time too. Still impacts development significantly if you use a tool like terraform.
What exactly is Apple doing as part of these updates? Were the maps only available in a very limited capacity in these locations previously?
At school, developers dream of creating their masterpiece like Michelangelo sculpting the Pieta. At work, developers realize instead of creating purpose built product they are often tasked with updating, modifying, and configuring a code base which they may not even have all the source code to. Think playing with sets of tinker toys purchased at different times that may not be 100% compatible with each other and some of them are broken.
I worry that we have raised a bunch of people in the mindset of "if the government allows it, it's safe" and rather than thinking critically about it may assume that they just figured out it was safe. The more drug-tolerant cultures (such as the Netherlands and Portugal) have "evolved" an understanding of drugs culturally such that you don't see a bunch of locals stoned out of their gourds in the coffeeshops all day. I hate the "war on drugs" and the terrible costs it has imposed, but I think that flipping the switch to anything goes is unlikely to end well.
> He's very good at convincing people he supports their ideological position

That's actually not what he's doing. Look up his history. Evidence speaks for itself but too many are lazy to look it up.

> That whys he's anti China

Umm. I hate to spoiler your preconceived notions but China's method of governing is absolutely terrifying to a free society. uighur? Great leap forward causalities?

Aside from the gaslighting on my part, realize this. China has been known as a global threat for at least 20 years. I was taught this from my science teacher. He told us 'two issues your generation will face; China and water'.

America has it's own issues and there is a large segment of the US that believe in Isolationism. FDR led the way there (with failings too).

These issues are complicated and not simple but it's still sad that we're seeing World Police Officer be also the function of the US POTUS.

P.S. Since HN seems to be anti-anything related to Trump. Let me make it clear. I'm a FDR/Bernie democrat. I voted Green Party last election and will this one too. Trump's policies (and lack thereof) aren't mutually exclusive to Trump.
It may be wrong but it's working so when it stops working that is a quantifiable harm.

Compare that to the expressed but not quantified harm by continuing the status quo.

Once we quantify both, let's talk.
How did these lawyer 'standards' hold John Yoo to account?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yoo

These are merely cartels to restrict competition.
My intuition is that:

1) I will probably lose when Monty opens a car door.
2) If I don't, I am really gambling between whether I made a 1-in-a-million pick or Monty did (in the choice of which door to leave shut), which obviously has even odds.

Interestingly, by compressing this problem back down to the 3-door version, it makes it pretty obvious why that's the case (and aligns with people's intuition about the original problem). Also interesting that in this case, even if the intuition is wrong (that 'obviously' they must have picked the car), the outcome (sticking with the chosen door) is an optimal strategy.

Which means the air might become not breathable.

The cost of giant road network connecting a patchwork of exurbs is vast. If the exurbs wind-up being considered a luxury and inhabited by those who can afford, the cost per-person goes up. Even more, if the US gets rid of its extreme wealth/income imbalance, the number who could afford it would go down even further.

Essentially, Exurbia is millstone around this country's neck, effectively moving the place palpably to disaster via fire, unhinged ideologies and generally unsustainable infrastructure.

This is a really good point. Will these companies make their employees sign non-competes during their move?
We're not that evolved yet. This technology is outpacing our own evolution as is evidenced by all the people in the comments who claim they actually learned more about history by watching doctored videos.
I went to a private school for 2 years in HS and it was far more challenging academically than public school, was also harder to get A's so I distrust your statement. Most private schools also have waiting lists to get in so doubt the schools care.
Improving your writing through editing (2000)
Well it is not that rigid. You can do code outside of a class/method

x ==> 8

jshell> x*3
$2 ==> 24

etc.

But I haven't used it either as I never worked with a REPL other than SQL clients.

I agree. I think if you went to prison, you served your debt to society and are square with the house. Your punishment should stop. This includes inability to find work etc... with some sensible limits for certain high-trust related positions.

Possible, though greatly increasing capital costs, also complexity and coordination dynamics.
Nor should they. A planner won't even get the board flat. It'll trim a small amount off the top.
> and if you move to a state with no income tax, you might not even lose almost any net income.

If you relocate from NY to a no tax state, but are still basically working for the NY office, you might be taxed as a telecommuter in NY and still need to pay NY income tax.

I'm not sure how this works for a multi-state company like Stripe, but I've had to do this when I transitioned to working remotely for a NY based startup.
I know I'm weird, but I care about how much I get paid because that's how I keep score. It's how I know my employer respects me. It's almost immaterial to me that I actually receive or use that money.

So, I know this is stupid, but moving, getting 20k, and taking a 10% salary hit would piss me off, even if I essentially became "richer."
Perhaps someone should forward this link to Dick Costolo
> A lot of people are saying this is a bad deal because you don't get to keep your entire TC when you leave the region - you effectively end up losing more TC in the long run. True but like... you also can have way lower expenses for housing... and if you move to a state with no income tax, you might not even lose almost any net income.

It's easier to think of your "total compensation" without taking into account cost of living. Lots of people (esp tech folks) don't have a personal budget and don't keep track of their costs / expenses in nearly the same level of detail that they keep track of their income.

The conventional wisdom on HN (for people who aren't going to be founding companies) is that if you join bigco FAANGs and bounce around among them for 20-30 years, you'll end up with way higher expected net worth by retirement than if you play the startup lottery.

Part of this is because of the power of compound interest. You can get that engine started in your early 20s and pour a lot of your "spare" money into it, especially you don't have kids yet.

This same argument applies to lowering your costs. If you live in SF, you could easily be paying $40k/y in rent or $100k/y on a mortgage. If you buy in a small town with 90% of a bay area comp package, you could be plowing all your housing savings into the compound interest machine.

edit: $/y instead of $/mo

The challenge with this is further career advancement. Even if you stick with Stripe, the most important and innovative work tends to stay close to headquarters, if only because the executives like to keep tabs on it. And it forecloses on the possibility of jumping ship to another company if they're doing more interesting work, or hopping aboard the next startup wave before the rest of the country knows about it.

I could see it making a lot of sense for the rank & file engineer who just wants to close their JIRA tickets and go home to their family, though. And that's really the economically rational part about this: it doesn't make sense for those jobs to stay in the Bay Area when they can be done from anywhere, by anyone with baseline software engineering prowess. Over the last decade SV tech companies have grown more and more of these roles, and it's good for both the company and the worker if they can do them from areas where housing and CoL isn't so ridiculous as the Bay Area. (Not as good for the worker when the company discovers that folks in Pakistan, Thailand, and Czech Republic can do these jobs just as effectively for $30K/year, though.)
USB C would be as if we could already plug arbitrary lamps into arbitrary sockets, but then someone decided the same socket that powers lamps should also be able to refuel a car and now you have to plug and pray with five different cables before your lamp will work.
