Bravo.

Having been on call for some truly monstrous amount of things and seen things break in all kinds of ways... I can't agree more with this principle.

While the cloud isn't cheap, if your org can afford it, there is no question about it: go with managed services. Focus on building things, leave the OPS to AWS/GCP/Azure.
The process chain necessary to turn rock into a single useful metal is colossal, and has been since antiquity.

The effort required to set such a chain up, in space, for not one, but for dozens of metals (modern manufacturing requires many of them), as well as other chemicals (many of whom are inputs into other processes) would be astronomical.

And then you would actually need to do something useful with that metal.

If you're not refining and using what you mined in orbit, and are bringing it back to Earth, it's cheaper to just mine what you're looking for on Earth. We have no shortage of mineral deposits that are considered economically non-viable today - but are still far easier and cheaper to extract than anything in space.
If you deploy enough Lambdas that depend on each other you effectively end up with a monolith, but the call paths are done through HTTP instead of method dispatch. Arguably this is worse, since discoverability and modification can become extremely difficult.
Here's the answer.

In twenty years, ML is going to wipe the slate clean.
This is quite an impressive approach for having FIVE kids. I have just two (young kids) and doing anything together is a huge collective action problem. Not having a car readily available would put the kaibosh on basically any out of town plan. Not to mention car seats.
I think convenience is the hidden cost here. No one is going to bother renting a car to move some dirt. They would pay for it to be delivered however because thats even easier than picking it up yourself and the savings from having a smaller car make it cheaper too.
I really enjoyed Zola as well. It's sufficiently simple that the learning curve is really gentle but has just enough features to cover all my needs for a static site.

Coupling it with Tailwind for styling meant that developing the theme was really smooth (slowest part of changing a template was waiting for the browser to refresh, i.e. < 1s).

Interesting that it scored me as:
ESTP 0.993968
ISFP 0.003365
ENFJ 0.000944
ISTJ 0.000374
INTJ 0.000271

Which is actually rather accurate to how I test. My work profile is ESTP, my private life profile is ISFP. The weights are obviously off, and my Reddit account is completely tied to my personal interests around blood bowl.

Either way, I’m surprised to see astrology for people who don’t believe in astrology on HN. I never fully understood HRs reliance on these tools, once you’ve taken a few, you can score exactly as you want to, but I’m truly surprised to see them on HN.
This is extremely interesting! Thank you for sharing.

I haven't taken a Myer Briggs in a while, so I can't remember what "I am".

I'm curious how my Reddit persona compares to an actual test. I know for a fact that I have a different personality on Reddit than I do in other conversations. Over the years, I've "figured out" a Reddit (and Hacker News) communication style that trends towards populist (i.e. tending to receive upvotes). I'll also jump straight to conclusions on Reddit - especially if I know they're "hivemind" opinions.

In real life, I have a much different approach to most communication - which I'd expect to reflect differently in a personality test.
There are about 8 billion people. 33 bits is enough to give each one a unique number. A whole bunch of them doesn't have access to the Internet, so fewer than 33 bits are enough to identify someone on the Internet.
While I think that there is definitely a worry of it turning into a big old mess (especially if they start depending on and talking to each other), I don't really know that I'd consider cron-job style independent one-off tasks any more maintainable in a monolith. I also don't know that I'd consider that specific to serverless (it's easy to create a ball of mud in anything).

All of our serverless projects are located in a single repository, and each little service gets its own little google doc that explains what it does, what functions it has, and any resources that it uses.

As mentioned below, as soon as an ETL gets multiple steps I agree that pure-lambda is not the right tool for the job (Airflow would be my preference, though we've also successfully used Step Functions)

It's probably much better if you think of Spotify as an evolution of music radio, not as an evolution of a music library.

Compared to traditional music radio, it is more expensive, but vastly more tailored to your own personal tastes (try finding an actual radio station playing prog rock one album at a time...).
The only problem with AirBnB in high cost of living cities is that it gobbles up supply zoned for housing and uses it for ostensibly commercial purposes, which hurts the people living there who might have had the chance of signing a lease for that vacant apartment you don't use. Instead it goes to people looking to save $30 a night on a hotel.
Interesting, never heard the other side of that story before.

I did a similar move but ended up buying a lemon.

Still, despite so far putting 150% of the "value" into repairs I realize it does not matter. Large Ratios of a small number are nothing compared to even small ratios of a large number.

Once the repairs are done I get to know the state of those parts. Absolute worst case, and the engine needs replacement, we're still only talking about 1 year worth of depreciation on a new car.

Will I need to replace the engine? Likely not. Would it have been slightly cheaper to spend 2x on a better used car? Sure, but maybe that one would have been a lemon too.

The scary part of used cars is spending money on repairs. Yet even expensive repairs are cheap. They are only expensive relative to the market value, but the market value is based on that lemon market risk.

The end result of having bought a far too cheap lemon: I've still spent less than a properly vetted vehicle and now I know some good mechanics down the street. The vehicle itself now has parts which are known quantities.

I'd really love an excuse to buy a new car. I've got the cash for it, but nothing modern cars can provide justify paying an engine replacement of depreciation every year.
Except that some side projects have value. The fact that you do the show useful traits- not all that you should consider hiring and not sufficient but useful. Not agreeing they have more value than hiking is wrong. I know several side projects which did have value and shown at least that their holders were interesting to hear.

This assumes that survival is guaranteed if you do it the right way. Long term thinking can work in firms that are larger. For smaller firms with limited resources, motivation and technical expertise getting velocity is crucial. This is one of the reasons startups run into issues when they have to scale. I think it has to be a well thought out balance of speed and quality that is required in such environments.

Ask HN: What are good resources to learn system design?
What I mean by system design is to understand seemingly endless options when it comes to data handling on backend side.

For example...

- Kafka

- Rabbitmq

- Kinesis

- Spark

- Elastic search

- Map reduce

- Bigquery

- InfluxDB

- Hadoop

- Teradata

- Snowflake

- Databricks

I understand Postgres the best, and would love to know why these and others exist, where do they fit in, why are they better over PSQL and what for, and if they are cloud only what's their alternatives....It seems all of them just store data, which PSQL does too, so what's the difference?

The author likes living in a city. The people the author is comparing themself to prefer the suburbs. The usage argument is a secondary rationalization. I never use my spare bedroom. I barely drive my car. I don't make much use of my yard (or do much maintenance on it). The thing I value most is not living in a city. The car is a necessity (and cost me a whopping $1500), the house is cheap ($900/mo) and comes with more rooms than I need. The yard doesn't actually require any maintenance. At least I don't have to live in a city.

Techno and electro by artists which you may have not heard of but who have prestigious awards and Wikipedia pages. Along with the Prophet, Roland SH-101, TR-808 and TB-303, the Amiga is coveted vintage equipment. (For instance, this coldwave producer: https://www.discogs.com/artist/3805670-Equinoxious ... That's almost exclusively 35 year old equipment)

This album for instance, was produced on an Amiga and even has it in the album title https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=35Lv8J1VMog

Might not be your thing, sure, fine. That's not the point. There's a significant scene that uses amigas for this.

There's after market hardware, such as an Amiga 500 SCSI -> SD bridge because at one time old 50 pin SCSI drives were going for hundreds of dollars and people in this community started making modern retrofits so they didn't have to pay high prices for failing hardware.

They've been making progress very slow progress in downtown Portland in promoting some of these things, which I appreciate frankly. But I really wonder what you do with the suburbs. Perhaps, rapid urbanization? But that may push more people to suburbanizing even more, and you need these arterial roads to get traffic between the suburban and downtown/more condensed areas.

I think it would be interesting to investigate the motives for suburban <-> urban area commutes and try to eliminate them first.

The CUP faction of the Young Turks were in power in 1915 when the genocide began.

From the page you just linked to:

> Around this period, the CUP's relationship to the Armenian Genocide shifted. Early on, Armenians had perceived the CUP as allies;[citation needed] and the beginnings of the Genocide, in the 1909 Adana massacre, had been rooted in reactionary Ottoman backlash against the Young Turks. But during World War I, the CUP's increasing nationalism began to lead them to participate in the genocide. In 2005, the International Association of Genocide Scholars affirmed[16] that scholarly evidence revealed the CUP "government of the Ottoman Empire began a systematic genocide of its Armenian citizens and unarmed Christian minority population. More than a million Armenians were exterminated through direct killing, starvation, torture, and forced death marches.

Mars will certainly be challenging to colonize, but it has some major advantages that I believe outweigh the disadvantages.

First, water is pretty abundant almost everywhere on Mars.

Second, carbon is abundant and nitrogen is abundant enough to make food and plastic production viable.

Third, Mars has an atmosphere which is thick enough to provide some protection from radiation and meteorites but thin enough that conductive heat loss isn't too big of a concern. Also, aerobraking massively decreases the amount of fuel required to get to Mars.

Fourth, Mars probably has enough gravity to prevent most of the health risks associated with low gravity.

I don't think either Mars, the Moon, or asteroids are dead ends for colonization. In the long, long run I think more people will live in rotating habitats in cis lunar space than on Mars, and more people will live on Mars than the Moon, but I think there are enough resources for millions or perhaps billions of people to live on Mars.

What exactly does Noam Chomsky say about this?
I find this particular aspect to be the reverse for most cases, especially on the receiving end. Staying in guest bedrooms sucks. You have to be quiet at certain hours (and hosts may not be), you cannot do certain things (like walk around without dressing, or return super later, or have sex). I'd stay in a hotel any day, and would be if anything more reluctant to visit someone with a guest room cause it's such a hassle, literally the only reason I can think of to prefer guest rooms is to save money for the visitor.

Similarly with cars (in a couple, you are designated driver half the time, you have to look for parking, etc.; although I do have to own a car to go to the mountains, that's one use case that is simply not covered by rideshares and such), backyards/parks (doing stuff in the backyard is just boring, it's much easier to convince me to go to the park).

Indeed one would expect the "95%" owned versions to be inferior to the specialized ones; after all, the latter are specialized for a particular purpose, rather than a compromise faux replica like a guest room or a backyard.
The long tail is indie music. Before Spotify the vast majority of small bands couldn’t make a living off it either.

If a band outside the mainstream could live off their music, it was concerts and merch, and that was usually already only for bands at decent labels.

I know and love a band that exists since 1997, not even once were they even thinking about giving up their day jobs.

I don’t like Spotify (I usually listen to specific albums of bands I like), but I feel it’s more of a problem for the middle-class of bands, not the small ones.
>Music has existed for a few thousand years before the idea of selling recordings of it started existing.

If you think about it, all law is a power grab. Laws are mire often than not unfortunately written to protect interest of those who've grown influential enough to make laws. Seed companies made it without these protections, so the only reason they should get it now is because of lobbying.
Not sure what you mean. Are you asking if people can do some kind of shell scripting in Xonsh? The answer is "yes". It's mostly Python, but with extra features so you don't have to do stuff like subprocess, shutil, etc.

It really isn't. I can tell you that personally I've already been contacted and hired a couple of times exclusively due to a side project I have.

> But lets just say that I would have to work full-time on a side project

You don't. You only need to have something to show for. You are the only one whose input matters and you are free to choose whatever you feel is best for you in terms of learning experience and portfolio. No one cares if you work on it for 14 hours a day or 15 minutes each month. What recruiters do care about is that you have something substantial to show for when they ask you if you have any experience in X.

> (..) but according to the grandparent comment, their skills are suspect because they haven't spent their afternoons writing dead end projects for fun.

Those skills are obviously suspect if they claim prowesses that they have no way to corroborate.

What? Do you believe people don't lie in job applications? Do you believe no one ever said in job interviews that they were very skilled at X although they never in their life had any contact with it?
The Alexa top 1000 just means people visit Bandcamp (where you can listen to anything for free).

This ignores all the controversy over the patent system allowing biological patents in the first place, and the many potential abuses and pitfalls, which seems very disengenuous to me. I don't think the founders intended the patent system for farming.
Completely agree but you’re missing the one thing that makes it really classic HN.

> What’s so great about New Thing? It’s just Existing Technology but with a Small Improvement.

This is exemplified in the best HN comment of all time where someone showed their new product called “Dropbox” and this dude was like “but I can get the same with FTPFS and versioning with a version control system”.

Technically correct, but completely missing the point. OP is worse, because he can’t even acknowledge the value that Spotify brings to hundreds of millions of people. Implicit is the claim that they’re only using it because they don’t know any better. If they were as intelligent as OP they would use Winamp and share songs manually.
>Before Spotify the vast majority of small bands couldn’t make a living off it either.

I'd say tons of small artists that can't make a living today, could make a living by selling 30-50K records back in the CD/Vinyl days.

Nail on head. Pthreads is an extremely difficult API to use, owing first to a poor choice of primitives, the consequences of which are that none of the implementations are particularly good and their interactions with the rest of the machine/model are ill-defined.

For example: You know how hard it is to close() in a multithreaded program? [1] And that’s just one system call— one almost everyone thinks they understand. What hope is there for all the other pthreads-code?

For cond/etc: One trick I use is handle passing via an epoll[2]. This works much more reliably than the pthreads API, and whilst it’s slower in a microbenchmark that spins the pthread_cond/mutex/etc apis, real programs don’t do that (or don’t need to), and so it is usually a clear net-win.
