My intuition would be to not give a book on baking bread, but on something tangential to bread baking...

like a book on brewing or other kinds of fermentation!

Something that connects with their expertise but is new to both of you.

Oracle is very powerful. As a developer I found it easy to work with. But the cost to run in production is eye-watering. IDK how their licensing works today but in the past it was free to use for evaluation or for developing a prototype. Once you were "gaining business value" i.e. using it even if only internally to develop a real product, you were supposed to be paying for it.

"AWS Proton: A one-stop-shop for managing your CodeDeploy, EKS, and CloudFormation and Lambda assets - providing a single place to monitor the state of your infrastructure and role out updates to your code"

^ understandable (or at least Googleable) by a layman. And it includes at least some technical detail that paint a picture of what the service actually does (if it does this).

To answer your question bluntly: Yes, it is possible to be much more descriptive and still simple with an opener.

As it currently stands, I had to go to the FAQ to see an off-handed note about CloudFormation. No other services, tools, or technologies are specified. I'm just guessing by the buzzwords used to describe the service.
I have to ask - what's the revenue model? I didn't see a payed account option (which is nice), but I do wonder how you're going to sustain this without deciding after 5 years that maybe selling a carefully selected subset of information would not be privacy invasive (just projecting my worst fears here)?
This solves two big pain points for me:

1) the 250 mb size limit.

2) trying to get some tricky dependencies into a lambda compatible image.

Ive got one build system that was going to have to move off lambda in the next few months because of the size issue. We’re shipping a slowly changing node modules directory to lambda, and then repeatedly building an app with them.

We’re also doing perf testing with lighthouse, and that was a pain and a half to get packaged. This should make it far simpler.

Well, the expectation is that compliant clients will only respect transactions on Eth2 at some point and will no longer consider new blocks on Eth1 valid.

At any point in time, of course, any node or set of nodes can declare a fork in the chain to be invalid and reorganize on another chain. That's what happened with Ethereum Classic and it could happen again. I think less likely unless there's a vulnerability discovered in Eth2, though.

Also less likely because in some ways the Ethereum Classic incident helped cement Ethereum's place by scaring off all the ideologues and keeping the participants who were more pragmatic.

RxRevu | Engineering, DevOps, Data Science, Product | Remote (US Based) | Full-time | https://rxrevu.com

RxRevu is a well-funded digital healthcare startup that offers tools and content for healthcare providers to understand the cost of care for their patients. We've been growing like crazy over the past year, we're in over 300 hospitals with hundreds of thousands of doctors performing millions of price transparency transactions per month.

This is a particularly hard problem in the US Health system and we have great momentum. If you like solving difficult problems that translate to a material improvement in someone's quality of life, e.g. access to a medication they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford, then we should probably talk.

We're cloud centric and use ruby on rails and more recently kotlin for transactional services, and python for data pipeline and other data intense systems. We've been fully distributed since the pandemic struck, most of us were based in the Denver area, but as we've grown in the past half-year we're now open to candidates anywhere inside the USA.

Please check out our careers page as we have many roles currently open! https://rxrevu.com/join-us/
Self hosting being cheaper is obvious. It's just a nightmare to manage reliability. With AWS or any other IaaS provider you're paying to outsource shifts of people around the clock that will work to keep servers and network connections up and running.

Colocation isn't that much better either because there are still situations (like corrupt filesystems or malfunctioning power supplies) that would require physical access to the machine.

With an IaaS provider you're free to go live wherever you want and focus on your business and not need to schedule shifts of people within driving distance of the colocation facility on-call.

Ultimately you're paying to reclaim time, which in almost all cases for startups is a worthwhile trade. Outsource everything that isn't your core business.

Normality is the most difficult illusion
Having worked with Ethereum, especially the low level bytecode, one of the changes I'm most excited for that I don't see mentioned a lot is the addition of eWASM support for nodes. There's many problems with the two dominant smart contract languages Solidity and Vyper, for instance bloated codegen that had to be patched otherwise complex contracts size could not be deployed[0], or more theoretical concerns such as soundness, semantics and correctness. Part of the problem is because of no coherent shared intermediate representation and developers writing backends from scratch, and lots of reinventing of the wheel[1]. There's an ongoing project[2] to create an LLVM backend for EVM but the stack based nature is at odds with LLVM IR's bias towards register-based architectures. (EVM doesn't even have a separate stack for return addresses to implement subroutines cleanly!)

The switch to eWASM would greatly improve security, efficiency and perhaps allow a diversity of languages to be used on Ethereum. It should be a matter of exposing the appropriate primitives to call other contracts, generate log events, write to the store and so on.

[0] For instance, see a PR that reduces codegen from 55K to 1.6K bytes on an innocuous contract https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/pull/1488

I don't know that it's a bubble thing. I've never been even near SV (although I am a tech worker, so perhaps in some kind of a bubble), and I can see how there could be rational reasons for implementing automatic reboots. Some people might put of rebooting indefinitely, for instance, and not all of those would be doing it because they know what they're doing. If you're MS, you have to take into account a lot more than just users who know what they're doing.

I don't like the automatic reboots, and I'd agree it's not a good solution and I probably wouldn't have implemented it if I were making the decision, but I don't really see how finding reasons for why MS might reasonably want to do it is a SV bubble thing.

Vanilla Java: Using Java SE as a Framework
I have this problem often. I want very few things, I can easily afford everything I want, and the things I might want fall into two categories:

1. I already know the most about the thing and have already found the one that either maximizes the utility/price relationship or maximizes utility below my price sensitivity threshold.

2. I don't know the most about the thing yet and have therefore not decided what I want.

The problem with the first is obvious: I either already own the thing or am about to, so the gift becomes just a cash transfer, and I don't need or want cash transfers from my friends.

The problem with the second is less obvious until you know that I dislike owning things and only choose to own things when they meet the first category.

So what's the answer for people with enough money and interest to buy good things for themselves?

Don't buy them utility gifts if you aren't more passionate than they are.

Buy them only weird sentimental things and quirky consumables that don't have to meet a personalized utility threshold. A small piece of artwork that comes with a note saying "This made me think of you" carries sentimental value and will make the receiver think of giver every time they look at it. A weird chocolate with ants inside will be weird and fun and it won't matter if it isn't the best weird chocolate with ants inside.
How did I find it so easy to set up Windows 10 Home edition to only "tell" me about updates, and no forced reboots. I didn't use any add-ons.

Just set 'active hours', turn off everything under 'Advanced', and if you really want to not do any updates for a while, you can select a date a date 35 days in the future to restart updates.

Three very simple things built into the update tool.

If you are on a corporate machine, they may limit what you can block based on their internal rules, but that is an IT problem, not Microsoft.

Windows 10 never updates or reboots during my active hours.
I always defer updates to a long time out, then manually update at a point where I want to. Problem solved.
by the nineteenth century in the UK most mail across the country would be delivered the next day. (im not sure of the history, it could be that in 1812, things were kind of slow, but it quickly sped up!)

A decade or so later into the Victorian age, mail sent in the same city was to be delivered within a couple of hours. In London there there twelve deliveries a day and in smaller cities up to about 6 times a day. People were able to reply and get responses in one day.
The Hackintosh community sometimes uses custom kernels, although much less often nowadays than they once did. There are custom kernels to add support for AMD processors (most common by far), and kernels to add compatibility with Intel processors that don't work natively (e.g. Atom). These do work on real Macs too, I used one a couple months ago for something stupid: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/402726/how-can-i-a...

Nowadays, however, Hackintosh tends to rely entirely on patching the kernel in memory, even on esoteric platforms like AMD. Custom kernels are really inconvenient for a few reasons—they get set back to stock after every update (which potentially means your computer won't boot, if you forget to put the custom kernel back before your machine restarts), and Apple releases XNU's source on a ~6 month delay.

I would love to see more kernel experimentation, but I think there's just not a lot of reason to do it? If you're on a Mac, you don't need to add support for new hardware.

That said, it would be great to get a kernel which e.g. disables TCC, or maybe which removes Big Sur's signed snapshot stuff. Both of those feel like achievable tasks, and they would have a real use!

Specifically the linked article wonders about the research environment of academia compared to industry. Why teams of hundreds in academia with their own super computing resources couldn’t make the same advances. He posits there’s something not great going on about how academic research environments make advances, the poor incentive structures, the abuse and burnout of PhDs, the lack of open sharing of findings, the obsession with publication quantity over quality...

There’s a reason these PhDs at Google mind aren’t in academia after all doing the same work

agreed.
Well, many influential economists don't believe in the broken windows fallacy, or that it applies here. Joseph Stiglitz has said that he was in favor of literally paying people to dig holes then fill them back up as a form of fiscal stimulus.
There's a few things at play. Functions will still stay warm inbetween invocations and will keep local any data already in the worker. We also maintain a couple different levels of cache so as to not hit ECR often.

I know we've got a few blog posts coming out over the next couple weeks on this new feature, and each tells a few bits and pieces about the story.

Depending on volume you'll probably find that Lambda will be cheaper for that workload, especially with the new 1ms billing.

Ahh yes, I helped fix computers throughout my time in primary education to the point I'd get pulled from classes to help sometimes. I had cemented my "status" back in elementary school when I was a "computer genius" because I knew how to mount the network drive then open and save files to it (which led to me being tasked with helping everyone else of course lol). I used to take every single chance to put my hands on a computer and it paid off in present day when I get paid to do it.
This is in the air but there are a couple things we are keeping in mind. Ads are still on the table, just not hyper targeted ones. The only targeting being to people who follow certain subjects on slyde (cars, weather, etc). Outside of that, not much more. This will limit the amount of advertising revenue for sure, but this leads to the second point. We want to also allow creators of premium content to create premium channels on slyde, which would be a way for content creators to fund themselves, similar to how YouTube does it. Ultimately we have to accept the fact that we just aren't going to be able to monetize users to the same extent as facebook or google does, and that's okay with us.

> But marketing isn't really known for being technically accurate, why would Apple's be any exception?

The comments and emphasis about the benefits on unified memory come right out of Johny Srouji's mouth. Granted, everything Apple execs say is vetted by marketing and legal, but I can't see Srouji emphasizing a made-up marketing point as a weird red herring either.

As I mentioned above, someone on HN has "debunked" every single optimization Apple says they've done. But the numbers don't lie. Somewhere along the way, some of the "debunking" is full of shit. I'm guessing most of it is.

The simplest explanation is that Apple is being forthright here and people don't understand what they've done or how those optimizations work.

The article is a puff piece about Peter Turchin,[1] a historian who takes the long view - sort of similar to Braudel's Annales school.

The relevant theses of Turchin's here are that political unrest goes in cycles of 60-70 years, and the idea of "elite overproduction" -- too many people who think they belong at the top of the heap and not enough prestigious positions for them, which leads to infighting among the political class and increasing irrelevance of politics to the world of ordinary citizens.
