I've had a similar problem with Zipcar rental (car/van rental by the hour using an app) in London multiple times. If you park somewhere without cell signal, you cannot use the RFID card to unlock the door, but if you use the key then the alarm goes off and won't stop. Every time it's happened to me they had to send someone out to reset the security system.
Smaller spreads. Plus I imagine that most retail investors don't make orders large enough that they need to be fulfilled at multiple exchanges, so HFT won't have the chance to get in front of retail.

Hiring SWEs is very meritocratic, you can't get in just because you are of a certain race or ethnicity.

UX and design have several Beckies. Hiring is much more fluid/subjective.

By painting UX as requiring "empathy" and claiming that white women have this magical quality but Indians or Asians are soulless robots who don't have empathy; it is subtle racist attempt to keep them out while favoring Beckies or handsome white guys.
Docker Container on Azure Functions with Python
Yes, throwaway understood my meaning... and you are right too that there are circumstances where people own a home but not the land underneath. Apart from the example you gave, I'm also vaguely aware of cases where tribes own reservation land where homes have been built by non-tribe members who technically have a lease to the land.

And actually you bring up another wrinkle, which is if you don't own the land underneath, there are plenty of lenders who also won't lend to you to buy a manufactured home, because they consider it to be personal property rather than a permanent dwelling (which they could more easily foreclose and sell)
Drools looks and sounds very good, but we already have a standard specification for workflow graphs called scxml and there are libraries which implement it and editors which can create it visually. I was hoping it would get more traction outside of Qt.

> Yeah, I took a look at using a serverless framework for a hobby project, and it was just a real pain to get started at all, let alone develop a whole application in.

Look into Firebase functions. Drop some JS in a folder, export them from an index.js file and you have yourself some endpoints.

> exports.helloWorld = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
response.send("Hello from Firebase!");
});

The amount of work AWS has put in front of Lambdas confuses me. Firebase does it right. You can go from "never having written a REST endpoint" to "real code" in less than 20 minutes. New endpoints can be created as fast as you can export functions from an index.js file.

Most functional programming jobs I've seen are in big data/ml using spark. These would be in scala, a wonderful language. A deep understanding of spark will get you a scala/ml/big data job. Beyond those jobs, functional jobs are indeed quite rare
But where does the data sit? Would you be using some fancy multi-master synchronous replication for that, or is there a database server behind it?
Think of it as a temporary table that doesn't automatically disappear at the end of the session. If nothing but your ETL process cares about the data until it's done being processed, and you still have the original data until the processing is done, in the worst case scenario (the server crashing) you just have to start your ETL process from the start.
The emulators have been around for years, just not well documented.

Super useful though!
Can't sell arms to embargoed countries or support freedom fighters financially by reducing domestic noise pollution. (Or maybe one can: construction projects are large enough one might be able to launder in the noise, and I just lack the actuarial savvy to figure out how the triangular trade would work?)

Maybe lower level (but not the lowest), is minizinc. Def worth checking out if you don't want or need Java. A friend is using it for on-call schedule optimization - and wrote about the details here https://optduty.com/blog/2020-08-29-schedule-optimization/
That has to be a typo. 100 MHz frequency ≅ 3 m wavelength in air. 100 kHz would have a 3 km wavelength, which is relevant for power transmission systems but not a device that's less than 1 m^3 in volume as in the illustration.
Well, OP was the one who suggested to build a Reddit clone, my side project is something else :)

re: gRPC, largely pragmatic because of familiarity with protos and RPC interfaces defined in terms of protos. I wanted a typed API definition that generates first-class implementations in Typescript and Python.

Haven't had much success in the past re: using other formal mechanisms of defining API interfaces, and I'm no longer up-to-date with what's recommended in this space (any suggestions).

Alternative was GraphQL (since using React) but that's a learning curve and dealing with protos in Typescript and Python is a known-known for me.
I can relate. I can program in just about any language. I can handle Lisp, muddle through most Prolog and don't have too much trouble with FPs like Elixir and Erlang. But as much as I have read again and again about Haskell, I always eventually seem to get utterly confounded.
You’re presuming a few things:

1) they believe your characterization of their impact

2) they believe that your characterization is complete (vs outweighed by some greater good - don’t have anything specific in mind here)

3) good for music = good for musicians = good for the industry

Starting with (1) and (2). Regardless of the merits of your argument it’s hard to talk people out of self-deception that lets them keep their jobs, esteem, etc.

Point (3) is a little more complicated. There’s a lot for reasonable minds to disagree about when defining “good” for musicians, music, or the music industry independently, let alone collectively. There’s a very strong argument that many musicians are currently making less money than they would’ve 20 years ago because of streaming services like Spotify. The argument that Spotify is destroying music itself is significantly weaker and does not necessarily follow from the first. Great music was made long before the modern music industry existed. Great music has been made by people who were not fairly compensated for their work. I want people to be fairly compensated for their work but I can’t definitively tell you it will make music better.
My most popular public playlist with the most subscribers is an old Advent/Christmas/Epiphany playlist that is approaching 10k songs, but it's only classical with some traditional folk music to spice things up a bit. Every December for the past too-many-to-remember years, I've added new music to this list. I'd hate to lose it at this point and I wish I could export it. But there is no doubt Spotify has revolutionized the way I listen to and discover music. I'm actually happy to pay for Spotify Premium because it means I don't have to download anything or keep the physical artifacts of music (vinyl) I used to need to make room for and worry about damaging when I moved, as well as all the stereo equipment, replacing tubes and needles, etc.
I wrote a couple of replies and then I deleted it. I am interested in the urban planning and not the caste bashing.

Why? I am a Brahmin. I will not engage in baseless debates about people of my faith and about my ancestors with faceless strangers on the interwebs.

I find myself unable to make sweeping and broad generalizations. So this wouldn’t be a fair or valid discussion.

Thanks for your input. Take care.
They never seem to call me twice... I would hang up if they did.
If you're up for a bit of tinkering, I definitely recommend the USG/AP/Cloud key combo over the Dream Machine. All-in-one devices are never going to be as good as separate single purpose components, but if an all-in one is what you want, the Dream Machine is the best one out there as far as I can tell.
This is a peak HN comment right here.
There are other reasons to own a car - one of them is "comfort". Yes maybe I have to maintain it and it's definitely more expensive then renting in the long run, but man, I have a comfortable, safe car that I can use with no overhead to get out of town on a whim.

With COVID, I avoid taxis & ubers; I can take a zipcar-like rental with relatively low overhead, but one isn't always available next to me. When it is, it's sometimes not very clean. Those services have small-ish vehicles (and mostly electric ones) that are fine for city & surroundings, but if I want a weekend getaway I need to use real rental, and that's a lot more overhead (plus, if I get out 3 weekends per month, just the rentals would be more expensive than the car costs - and that, at a lower quality of the rented car; with COVID I don't get out as often, but previously, I used to).

I think living without a car definitely makes sense for some people; and definitely doesn't for others. But that depends a lot on your conditions, location and lifestyle.

I'd say that is misleading at best. Lambdas are inherently unsuited for monoliths due to payload, RAM and execution time limits and cold start times. Lambdas are inherently suited to "real" micro-services, because by nature can only do 1 thing and have strict limits.
> However, the entire point of Rust is that it’s safe.

It’s really not. That is a fringe benefit; there are a dozen other reasons to use Rust over, say, C++. The syntax is cleaner, there are async await semantics, locking is way better, destructors aren’t a dumpster fire, macros aren’t the wild west, there just isn’t as much cruft... and et cetera.
I am absolutely sure that searching and downloading/streaming music would be a standard feature of every music player out there were it not for copyright.

Spotify's real innovation is not music streaming. That technology is not new in any way. The real innovation is the fact it somehow obtained the licenses necessary to legally stream the music people wanted to listen to.
Startup Marketing Ideas
While I may not agree with your opinion, I upvoted you because your position is certainly not uncommon and saw your reply go grey. And that irritates me.

I'm getting really pissed off about people downvoting who have nothing constructive to add to the conversation.

Rather than downvoting, fucking REPLY. A downvote is lazy--it's actually worse than doing nothing on a low-vote thread--it's a sin on the level of turning down the premise when doing improv comedy. An articulated position furthers the conversation and actually represents effort.

When did HN readership become such prissy hothouse flowers? FFS.

A pair of database servers (leader and hot spare) behind it, although some data was in-app and shared between the two app instances (or more; two was the minimum).

I don’t think of this as particularly fancy or expensive, considering how much you have to pay for engineers and technicians. It was critical enough for >3 nines, and that means having a technician on-call.

I saw this setup at two different companies I worked at, even though the tech stacks were completely different. Whenever I price out setups for similar requirements in cloud I almost always end up with basically the same setup, just on cloud VMs instead of dedicated servers.
The state polls were wrong by large margins, therefore Nate Silver's prediction was built upon a mountain of false information.

Some of the polls were wrong by margins larger than the purported margin of error, implying the entire poll was structured incorrectly.

Those same polls have not re-adjusted since 2016.
>For the emergency room, I can call an ambulance.

As someone who had siblings that required various visits to the hospital for emergency things, using an ambulance each time would have paid for a couple of new cars.

Most healthcare isn't going to cover the use of an ambulance for a broken arm or a bunch of marbles up the nose and waiting for (and using) an Uber/Lyft in these scenarios is also pretty bad.
This text mentions Trump 41 times. I don't believe it belongs here.
A different take on your comment, you have made lots of good arguments for how to put the real cost of your lifestyle into dollar values which is an okay analogue for your carbon/consumption impact.

Is owning a car (or maybe, a second car?) more freeing? Are you that much happier for owning a blender?

I think there's another take on this advice, that it's not about optimizing spending, but simplifying your life and obligations by avoiding the burden of ownership and minimizing debt.

While a full Faraday cage can be expensive, RF from known sources can often be reduced by 90% within a specific area, with the aid of a directional RF meter, commercial-grade aluminum foil/insulation and aluminum foil tape. Window shielding would require copper mesh, which is pricier.

Start with the cheapest, simplest and most reversible approach and collect data to test assumptions as you learn about your local RF environment. Profile RF sources that are under your control. You may be able to reduce the power level of your WiFi router. Many cellphones support WiFi calling, which allows the cellular radio to be disabled.

The device would guarantee that the data is safe as long as it doesn't get physically damaged. That's an extremely useful guarantee. Power outages are common and almost never cause physical damage.

A flash device that isn't designed carefully enough could lose multiple megabytes of semi-random sectors if it gets interrupted at the wrong time, as a consequence of giant erase blocks.

I can see how you get that impression only reading his website, but listening to him on both The Talk Show and Dithering in addition to reading his site, the impression I walk away from is that Gruber is calling Balls and Strikes as he sees them.

Mind I’m also the type of person that listens to his podcasts so feel free to take what I say with as much salt as you like on this topic, but more generally, I get very different impressions of the same people reading their blogs versus listening to their podcasts and I’ve started to give the latter more credence in forming my impressions over the last three or so years.

Not arguing with you by the way, just trying to offer up an alternative take to you and other passers by in this thread.
What advice do you have for raising a kid in a city in this day and age? My biggest concern is all the addicts in my city. Some 60k live on the street, certainly many are working and are invisible, but the most visible of the unhoused are certainly concerning and have put myself on edge a few times riding pubic transportation, being personally accosted, watching fights break out over nothing due to someone being mentally unstable making eye contact with another person, seeing knives pulled on the train and being trapped in the car until the next station. I worry that if I let my child out and about unsupervised like this that they would be targeted as an easy mark for what little they happen to carry on them by desperate people looking to feed their addiction, because I know adults who've experienced this simply due to appearing vulnerable and alone. The kids I do see on public transit and on the sidewalk are typically shuttled around by their grandparents, or in a pack with a half dozen other kids. Maybe I'll teach them to use my skateboard so they'd at least have a blunt object like I do when I am out and about by myself on transit.
That's not supported by the data. Hillary was significantly less popular among black voters than Obama. In fact, if black voters had an identical turnout in 2016 than in 2012 Trump would've lost.

It's easy to see why given her history, too. She has a history of pretty racist remarks and her husband spearheaded the infamously racist Crime Bill.
It seems to me that under this scheme, if I make a single erroneous identify call, I will irreversibly merge two users. This is a surprising approach. Given that identify calls may occasionally be wrong, I would expect that

identify(anonymous_id, new_canonical_id)

would map anonymous_id => new_canonical_id, but would leave the rest of the set find(anonymous_id) alone.

It’s interesting to see so many audio acoustics articles hitting the news. I’m in a crazy situation where I have a 80 meter iron fence beginning at a furnace/electric room and ending with a “L” shaped thick iron bar just below my bedroom window. The furnace buzzes every night and the fence acts like a tuning fork and hits me with 13000hz at high dB. I think I need this device.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I live in a small town in Washington in a long river valley. I'm about 2km from the nearest forest. I've lived here several years. I live about half a mile from a highway, and directly on a main road.

During the initial lockdown, traffic on the highway stopped. Traffic on the main road stopped. Things got very quiet. And then something else happened about 5 days in.

I smelled the forest. Not just a whiff, but a strong smell of "hey dummy, you live next to a forest and just realized you've been missing the smell the whole time." I also noticed the sky was clearer.

So, am I surprised that birds noticed, too? Not at all. I'm surprised that more humans didn't notice.

It would still be wrong to say that UXers as a class have more empathy, even under that definition. The fast majority of sites feel like they're giving me a middle finger, especially on mobile, and they tend to get worse on sites that invest more in UX designers. If I pointed a camera at my phone, and showed my typical use, I could a dubious decision or unnecessary hurdle every five seconds.

If you don't want the all-in-one Dream Machine device (which is good for what it is), here's what you need:

* Unifi Security Gateway (router)
* Unifi AP (there are lots of options - for residential uses, you don't need the high density models. I run the AC PRO in my house and I only need one for relatively heavy use. Works great.)
* Somewhere to run the Unifi controller. This is the web UI that you'd normally get built in on a consumer router. You can either set this up on a Raspberry Pi or similar device, or you can buy the Cloud Key. The Cloud Key can be used as a gateway for cloud management, but you absolutely _do not_ have to do that. You can treat it as a simple, embedded linux machine that runs the unifi controller software.

That's it. Anything beyond that is optional.

For my setup, I also picked up a cheap PoE switch to power both the cloud key and my AP (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YHLR6V3/), along with a cheap rack mount gigabit switch that all of my wired devices hang off of (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BU0EKW) and tossed it all into a network rack with all the niceties (patch panel, UPS, PDU, and a synology NAS). You definitely don't need anything that elaborate though. The AP comes with a PoE injector, and the cloud key can be powered via a simple USB wall adapter (included, if I recall correctly).
Not related to the novel, but what is the current biggest technological challenge to asteroid mining?
Sounds like its working for you, which is great, I guess.

However in general what you're doing isn't devops, its 'devs creating a big old mess for someone else to cleanup later'.

All you're doing is trading long term maintainability and quality for 'getting it done right now'.

Sure; it works. I get it. ...but I've also been on the receiving end when that 2-person team has 1 person leave and gets scaled up to a 5-person team, and you have to a) bin everything, and b) write the entire thing from scratch.

I personally consider it a very selfish way to build things. Me first. Me now. ...someone else's problem later.

There are scalable solutions in this space (eg. pipelines, airflow, azure data factory, glue); doing it using lambdas is... not. ideal.

That's not a problem with severless in general; but what you've described isn't any of the things which is good about serverless either: what you've described is the problem with the low barrier to entry with serverless, resulting in production serverless code that skips past 'quality control' to 'let's deploy straight to production!'.
