Simple Workflow was pushed hardcore on everyone inside and outside Amazon for years. It's not a very useful service, but they had huge marketing. Obvious to me is their managers thought that if everyone used SWF, then SWF managers would become very powerful because it was supposed to be bigger than any one organization and cross-organizational. I imagine virtually everyone at Amazon has had SWF pushed on them by their managers as a silver bullet technology that will bring their service and thus manager in to the Amazon high inner cabal and make them very powerful.

In reality it was a task scheduler with some logging and metrics thrown in which awkwardly tied user's individual code builds to a third party service where they had to be registered and externally reference for every build. Virtually all SWF functionality was in the client library, not the service which was just a data store and API.

Other cool kid services that managers wanted to force teams to use included dynamodb, kinesis, lambda, etc.
Strange how no bug system is remotely as good as Bugzilla c. 1997 was.
I'm sure they justify it with a pile of evidence that people are willing to pay that much. Folks here are probably just not the target market (would just use OBS and hack together whatever, or be confused about what value having our face on top of our slides would even have...).
If there were two shooters, wouldn't they have to be incredibly coordinated to shoot directly on target at pretty much the same time? Seems pretty difficult to get two shots to the head/neck from long range in the time between the first shot and the car pulling away.

That is impressive, especially sales and marketing. How did you handle marketing when starting out alone? Was it mostly online or you visited local customers? I find getting foot in the door most difficult thing to do.

Black Friday – SpineAlign Mattress Save 15%
I see you’re quite the nihilist when it comes to computer security. But for your information, there are a lot of people in the corporate and government world that think computer security works like a bank. Unfortunately for us, many of those people are running the show, and too wealthy to care about learning about the details; that’s our job. So ultimately this so that they can feel save at night knowing they’ve covered their ass from negligence. This is why things like NIST-171-800 exist and this tool would be helpful for mandatory practices required to do business

The world makes more sense when you learn that what people say and what they do are almost never the same. This is why markets and other analysis of behavior are greater predictors than polls or surveys or esp anecdotes
COE won't lead to inevitable LE, it only means your manager wants you to be the scapegoat or you are indeed responsible for it.

The skills required to be a nuclear physicist can be taught, but that doesn't mean that they can be taught to anyone, regardless of aptitude. And nursing, in practice, requires more than just a specific set of trainable intellectual skills, it also requires physical and social skills and aptitudes,for which proficiency is less correlated with those for intellectual skills than it is across intellectual skills.

And nursing (viewed broadly) skills are taught in mass, the nursing series of professions employs a huge number of people. RNs alone account for more than 1% of the entire US population, adding CNAs and LPN/LVNs, that goes up to a little under 2%.

something that kind of bums me out is that as long as our infrastructure is opaque and requires subscriptions, we'll always be tracked. There's nothing stopping providers from selling your location data, or things like your DNS requests, and that's sad. And what ever is in place is likely not strong enough to really protect you.

Same goes for credit cards, license plates etc... lots of services exist to mine that and know more about you.

> Memory leaks are honestly not even a problem unless you have long running servers.

Not your main point, but having to kill a program or an OS and restart whatever I was working on because some process can't be bothered to give back memory it doesn't need (and that I now do need) is a major pain.
This is great for two reasons (and probably more):

1. It highlights that user impact determines success more than resource metrics.

2. It shows that assumptions infect even when you think you’ve accounted for assumptions.

Honorable mention: don’t just prove the abstraction and call it done. It’s got to prove itself in real world scenarios before you can trust its claims!
It may be unfair.

Chesterton's Fence asserts that the reason for the fence can be clearly known, though.

I'm saying there are limits to what we can truly know or understand as humans.

I don't think the rationalist community as a whole really accepts that, at least not to the extent I do.

Chesterton's Fence isn't really relevant to that proposition, I think.
Ask HN: How do you cope with getting slow/stupid?
I've noticed that everything I do these days takes way more than it did a few years ago. I'm a graduate student and this realization has crushed all hope I had to succeed in my field. Either I've become dumber, or somehow every task - even simple house chores - has gotten way more time consuming and hard. I used to study difficult courses with lots of math and I would learn them easily. Now? I spend a whole day trying to read a couple sample questions and even without solving them, it takes me hours and hours to just read the solutions which are already there. Or for example, I used to read a text/paper/article and be able to retain what I read. Now I get lost in the sentences and can't find my way through the text. I'm 29 and this shouldn't be happening to me. Honestly, this situation, along with the pressure I feel from the faculty and the PhD program, has made me seriously reconsider dropping out. But I know even in the industry I need to be sharp and quick. Have you experienced a similar thing? How did you cope with it/fix it?
> It doesn’t store anything. Apple are not saving information.

How do you know?
This is indeed a hard lesson to learn. For me I used to charge less out of insecurity that I will lose the customer. But later on I grew some backbone to ask more. It depends on customers as well. Now I simply steer clear of prospects too driven by price rather than value.

I tend to agree! I think Big Sur on M1 uses 16kB page size vs 4kB on Intel so maybe that contributes to more efficient / less obvious perf issue when swapping.
I don’t believe this to be the case. The root cause is that company exposed the product’s internal workings to developers via APIs 20 years ago. Tons of companies built their whole business on it, and those APIs will never be deprecated. Most of those companies don’t employ any software engineers, so migrating isn’t viable. I’ve been in the room when complicated new APIs are developed, and we definitely weren’t making things hard on purpose. Every new feature needs to work with whatever our customers built out of what came before. We did our best given the constraints.

Of course these opinions are my own, I don’t currently work at Salesforce, and I can only tell a tiny part of the story from my own perspective, and it’s probably unfair to people who did a lot of good work.
I think people should use FOSS, but lying about Apple doesn’t help with that, nor does it solve the problems that FOSS has when it comes to creating a trustworthy ecosystem for end user software delivery.
I don’t need an “argument” to charge a specific price or business model. I’ve created something and am offering it to anyone who will pay what I’m asking.

Why, as a customer, would you care about my “argument” for my price as opposed to the value it creates for you?

This product is expensive and I expect most people to walk away but I also see why they don’t want to go down the old Windows 3.1 route of a perpetual license.
Plenty of big problems and small problems in physics to be solved. My father was a research physicist who sat on the international committee for defining temperature, his little contribution to the world was to improve the low temperature model of measurement to make it 50000 times more accurate... and still had a lot of room for improvement. An area still under active research. At the broad scale we need to understand the mysteries of dark energy/matter, develop a quantum understanding of gravity, etc..... One problem that's happened is a lot of the physics in the early 20th century didn't have any experimental proof till late 20th century, physics pushes at our technological limits and has to wait patiently :)
Who knows.

I've never had more than a passing curiosity about the conspiracy rabbit hole that is the JFK assassination. When I saw recently though someone suggest the possibility that a Secret Service agent may have accidentally hit Kennedy I saw suddenly how that explanation seemed not only to put a lot of the puzzle pieces together (at least the more common quandaries you hear about) but seemed to me plausible as well.

Then again, with all things, it seems impossible they could have covered up something like that without someone leaking/talking.
Flipping anything to red entails significant legal and business complications. For starters you are basically admitting that customers deserve a refund for services not provided. Im not surprised that execs must be involved in that decision. You don't want random developer making a decision that could incur millions of dollars in potential loses when there are other strictly non-techincal factors to consider.

It's 10x slower at a lot of things, but even vanilla cpython is every bit as compiled as something like C#. Python is slow because of an extraordinary amount of runtime dynamism, because it doesn't have a JIT or many optimization passes, and because performance isn't a top concern of the project.
Local spam filtering still works quite fine. It just needs a lot of data most users probably don't have when starting out.

I just use bogofilter, and it worked almost perfectly from the start, just because I saved years upon years of SPAM and HAM. 10's of thousands of messages each.

It got slightly worse over years, because I incrementally only train it on new SPAM but not on new HAM, because of laziness.

People probably have HAM archives, but don't usually save their SPAM, to be able to start using Bayesian spam filters right away with great results.

Personally I find it much better than whatever Google uses. I don't even bother with SMTP level domain/IP blacklists, or reverse IP/domain checks anymore. All mail is just passed right to the mailbox and is then pre-filtered by a bogofilter to SPAM folder that I check once weekly, and barely find any HAM there. I receive about 500k mails a year.

I'm not sure this is a useful summary of the problem. I've seen an awful lot of code written in C and C++ that pisses away any and all advantage of using either. In general, I think software devs (and the software market) tend to value convenience over performance until it's too late, but the reasons why are so complicated and different per sector they'd make for a full PhD thesis and then some.
I have bad news for you my friend. Everything is a workaround. You do workaround your family, you do workaround your kids and you do workaround your health.

You have seat-belts on your car? Is that a fix or a workaround? Because a fix would be to actually have a car that doesn't crash at all. But would not be economically viable.

You have plastic insulator around your electricity wires to prevent you getting electric shock. Is that a fix or a workaround? Because a fix would be to actually have continuous current at max 12V as power lines. But that's not economically viable.

You have kids going to school and strangers are educating your kids a good portion of their life, molding them sometime against your values. Is that a fix or a workaround? Because a fix would be to have them home-schooled under your eye. But that's not economically viable.

I can do this all day.

I don't find it rude to point out that you asked for citation in this exact thread, and then didn't provide any yourself while making some pretty serious claims.

Thank you for the citations.

These make a very strong case for showing poor living conditions in your area, and I empathize with that - please don't think that I'm debating this fact.

I'm not entirely sure how it relates to my comment which is a nit about veganism's fundamental issue with defining it's own belief systems effectively. Are humans considered animals? Is the issue that some things are treated as commodities at all, or just that living things are? Are we okay with treating people as commodities, but just not "animals"? As in, it's okay to buy human-animal created products (like a phone or a computer), but not to buy wool socks because that is animal cruelty?

I'm not suggesting that people aren't treated as commodities, I'm suggesting the opposite. Your citations (unfortunately) add to my point.

One thing I don’t see mentioned here (haven’t looked at the past comments link but it’s worth surfacing here) is that requirements for many public RFPs, health care being right up there, is that since most people driving the process aren’t intimately familiar with software success and failure cases tend to refer to the intersection of tech and regulation. They don’t necessarily think about usability except in terms of a11y. Uptime, yes. Human experience interacting with it? Likely only if it resembles workflows that are similar and painful for them. This isn’t faulting these people defining these requirements! It’s a call to all the types of HN readership to put yourself more in the position to bring the knowledge that informs your contribution into the requirements process. You might never know that the success of the project you work on depends on your knowledge of color accuracy or time zones or particular patterns of abuse... until you get yourself a seat at the “first things first” table.
Granted. I'm still deeply uncomfortable with the idea of Google deciding what is and isn't disinformation. Twitter's approach of appending information links to tweets about disputed topics isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than removal.

Deploying Data Visualizer for Nepal Stock Exchange Using Streamlit on Heroku
Conveniently this gets tested during every new region launch. Each service is brought online in a sequence, and each service can only use other services running in the same region, which guarantees that no two services can be mutual startup dependencies. Sometimes region build-outs have to be paused when a circular dependency is discovered that has been introduced since the last region launch!
Not on this app. Also the tablet in question is single core processor so implementing multi-thread is actually even worse. As a detail I left out on above story, this is one of the first surface tablets running Windows 10. I mean it needs W10 because security update reasons, but it was not designed to run such a demanding OS. And then comes my app that requires even more processing power of an already filled up to the guts hardware. Hence the breaks on demanding too much processing.

I don't think there is any compartment with pressure above atmospheric, but the passage quoted from the article does make it seem that way, hence the confusion. I think the pneumatic grabber creates a sealed region of less-than-atmospheric pressure around the site of the pinhole. Effectively, this is like increasing the pressure outside most of the eggshell.

In the 2020 video, the shot that starts at 55 seconds shows the whole carousel. A pair of robot arms are using pneumatic grabbers to load eggs onto the carousel, they go under the high power laser, then pass under the pipette robot arms, and finally are removed from the carousel by a similar pair of robot arms with pneumatic grabbers (it is at this last step that I suspect the fluid passes through the shell).
