Yep, the newer amazfit's server based key-pairing is nuts, but there's a solution and you only need to do it once until you hard reset your watch (hopefully never). The watch dials are rather ugly but functional. The built in dials are also much better battery-wise than custom faces
Hahaha. I did that too based on the LinuxDevices article. I even had a few conversations with the author.

I think it's confusing that it only shows a blank page, it could at least show a message with maintenance or something.

It's not like the server is not working, it does indeed return HTML/JS, only that it doesn't do anything.

For me, zero? Or close to it. I can't imagine obsessing about this stuff. I think it would cause me more stress than it would help. That's to say nothing about the privacy issues.
You can run any container. It just wouldn't run as you expect if you don't implement the lambda runtime api.

> Google Cloud Run, which everyone keeps comparing this with, works exactly like that.

Everyone does keep comparing this to GCR, wrongly. Not just because Lambda is not "bring any container" whereas GCR is, but more importantly because GCR and Lambda have very different operational models. GCR is a serverless platform for hosting web servers. Lambda is a serverless platform for event handling. The latter is a super-set of the former and thus requires more specific tools.

Yes, theoretically there could be a setup whereby you expose a port, and some lambda intermediary translates the invocation payload to an HTTP message your container can read. But I am endlessly fascinated why anyone would want that. I laugh a bit on how we've hit peak AWS where people here are legitimately asking for an HTTP request to hit an ALB, the ALB translates it into a lambda payload object, then a lambda component re-translates that payload back into an HTTP request, so your application can translate it into an object. Do you understand how insane that is?

The only tactile advantage lambda has over fargate is scale-to-zero. I think saving $7 per month is a pretty bad trade-off for the insane performance overhead and complexity a true docker-in-lambda solution would necessitate, and thus be unattractive to most consumers.
> What do you do if you genuinely don't want anything?

Exactly that, people react offended when I say I don't want anything. Nowadays I ask for coffee, or beer. You end up with kilo's of coffee beans, and enough alcohol to get you killed. But, at least it's not more stuff.

Who needs random stuff? Most people don't, so they make up lists and do shopping for each other. It's a waste of time to me.

Kids want stuff, and don't have money, so presents are wonderful and exiting! But why would you want gifts for adults? They even made it a ceremonial obligation at specific moments like birthdays or Christmas,

A spontaneous gift can be fun, someone who knows you well can buy you nice serendipitous gift. But Christmas shopping.... horror! :)

Unless the actual physical F35 planes end up delivering some kind of value to their purchasers (let's face it, they basically won't), funding the F35 is a lot like breaking Bastiat's window. It's a case of the seen vs the unseen, which is why so few are equipped to complain about it

Why is it considered an untouchable space? Because CRM is so dominant? I don't understand what about the space would make it so capital intensive to compete against CRM in. They're internal tech is known to be very legacy and not cutting edge. A tech-competent startup could outmaneuver them. They're an Oracle 2.0, who at the time was also deemed unassailable, until Cloud and OSS databases ate their lunch.

"Congratulations to Slack on its exit" I say as I forgot they are post-IPO.

I always thought it strange how big Slack got to begin with. History will probably remember its ultimate accomplishment was getting lots of companies to switch from direct-message communication to chat rooms. However, that was probably inevitable as an internet savvy generation took over more companies, and Slack was simply well-timed. It's not like the product was light years ahead of its myriad of competitors. It had a little better design and had friendly corporate terms.

Which is good news. If Salesforce really does ruin Slack, I have no doubt someone will swoop into the space just as quickly as they did.

I’m not sure what point you’re making exactly, but Stripe and AirBnB (not sure about Shopify) are all on AWS.

> A year after Airbnb launched, the company decided to migrate nearly all of its cloud computing functions to Amazon Web Services (AWS) because of service administration challenges experienced with its original provider. Nathan Blecharczyk, Co-founder & CTO of Airbnb says, “Initially, the appeal of AWS was the ease of managing and customizing the stack. It was great to be able to ramp up more servers without having to contact anyone and without having minimum usage commitments. As our company continued to grow, so did our reliance on the AWS cloud and now, we’ve adopted almost all of the features AWS provides. AWS is the easy answer for any Internet business that wants to scale to the next level.”

> Since 2011, Stripe has delivered its PCI-compliant payment platform entirely on AWS, relying on the security best practices as well as easy auditability of the AWS platform. Stripe wants to make it easier than ever for developers to process payments on their web and mobile applications. Using AWS provides Stripe with access to a world-class infrastructure that helps it scale seamlessly and increase developer productivity.
> TV didn't have the damage on our society that he expected.

My conclusion is the exact opposite. While pundits on American TV News decried the sex and violence that was prevalent on the entertainment-only channels, they were slowly training us over decades to accept only two points of view that were always at war with each other (Orwell says hi). The Tale of Two Realities that we've been living in for the past 5 years is a testament to their success. The sex and the violence didn't harm us as much as they said because they were just easy punching bags the whole time. This is exactly what Postman and others were warning us about.
The mobile Google Chat still doesn't let you switch accounts, like Hangouts supports. Perplexing, given how much people in the Google-sphere context switch.

> I feel it makes little sense for the Ethereum Foundation to pour their own (human) resources into this.

Well, they received $ 18.3 million in crowdfunding [1], so I would dare to say it's not only "their" resources but also the resources of the community which they're spending, isn't it?

Given that the central thing a user needs to use a cryptocurrency is the wallet it would seem a bit weird to collect $ 18M from their users to develop a cryptocurrency and then not develop the software which the users need to use the currency?

I mean they're a non-profit organization, if they don't hand anything out for the $ 18.3 M then they have profited quite a bit by taking in money but not delivering effectively usable goods from it?

> the value of something is higher when it's a gift from a loved one.

There's pitfalls with this too. A loved one bought me a genealogy DNA kit - because I do tons of genealogy.

But I also do IT security for a living. DNA databases are a magnet for powerful bad actors and submitting my DNA to one would introduce new risk to me and my family members. This loved one lives in a world where this sort of risk is invisible to them. There's no simple way for me to explain it to them.

Now this DNA kit just sits here, right along with my guilt.
I'm so tired of hearing this argument. The amount of revenue generated by customers who use only Microsoft Teams without an Office365 subscription is exactly $0 [1]. MS gives you exactly 2 options to get teams:

1. Free

2. Included as part of Office365.

Teams is currently eatings Slacks lunch, but the lunch was paid for by a corporate IT guy who switched to Office365 so he could lay off some IT admins and save some money compared to managing an on-premise Exchange server.

Full stack developer with an emphasis on cryptocurrency and fintech related solutions, I have applied my lifelong passion for tech and programming skills to deliver all-compassing solutions from the back-end to the front-end and mobile. I am looking to collaborate with innovative and new technology adapted startups / teams to create awesome things. My hourly rate is 50$/hour but you can hire me for 3k a month.
You're mixing arguments here. It's not the occasional 5-second long request, it's "the app doesn't start serving requests for 5 seconds".

Using data science tooling in a lambda seems iffy, especially ones that are not production ready. And good luck getting such libraries in go.

Python cold booting an interpreter 3 seconds faster than Go is a big deal, especially if your target execution time is <50ms and you've got a large volume of invocations, and are not being silly and importing ridiculously heavy dependencies into a lambda for no reason other than to make a strange point about Python being unsuitable for something nobody should be doing.
Not sure how much it cost, but it was definitely helpful - even the fact that it was obvious which team needed to take a look first based on the objects that had leaked often made it worth it.
Yes. His site has no indication of what he's doing.

"Out of the box, the FPGA will be configured to work as a 100 MHz, 32-bit RISC-V CPU, but it can be configured to emulate many older processor types. Just keep in mind that it tops out at 100 MHz speeds. Huang says the system will be more powerful than a Palm Pilot or Nintendo DS, but it’s best suited for developers who want to create a single-purpose device completely from scratch…"

That's nice, but it's not clear what it's for. You can make an slow, expensive, tamper-resistant feature phone out of it. Price is around $512. What else?

Switching channels/teams in Teams is far less efficient than moving through channels in Slack, which means I'm less likely to engage well in Teams.

I wonder if that's because two different teams worked on the two different abstractions.

I guess that the pain of that first hour convinced them that your rewrite was trustworthy.
Thanks, what distinguishes it from the other 23?
I think you're missing out RocketChat
I don't think anything's happened to Matrix, it continues to develop and grow at what, at least as it feels to me, a slow and steady pace. I tried it towards the beginning, after a few years, and am currently on it again, running my own homeserver, and it's been getting better and better each time. It's definitely still got a few rough edges, but it's both much more reliable and much more fully featured than in the past. E2EE is finally very easy on the flagship clients, which is a pretty great achivement on an open federated system.

Anyway, I think it's still here and growing, but it pops into the HN consciousness every now and again. That doesn't mean it's popularity is similarly varied :)
Here's an interesting news story about Airbus Defense and Space (formerly Astrium)'s reaction to SpaceX, in January 2014:

https://spacenews.com/38891a-hat-tip-to-spacex-as-rebranded-...

What's fascinating about this is how NO ONE was talking about them getting the first stage to be reusable. Musk's plan looks like it exploited this blind spot. Reusing the first stage was so obviously impossible that even with the evidence of nine first stage engines staring them in the face, they thought this was just to minimize development cost. It was only when the legs went on that the penny dropped.

And now, no one else will be able to repeat the free R&D flights that SpaceX got by trying to recover first stages off expendable launches sold at expendable launcher prices.
well that's new.... I was there back in 2017 and everyone I spoke to was very against it, and I remember when I looked up the stats they also showed the majority weren't for it. Still looks like it's a close issue, statehood is a big deal and affects everyone dramatically, kinda feel like it should have overwhelming support, not 51% of 52% of ppl... that's actually only 26% of eligible voters voting for it.
You can run Server without product activation. I do it in a VM and think Server is well behaved.
Maybe, though this reminds me of the story where Borland's management decided to move away from the "hacker" style ethos and mainstream audience so that they chase after the "enterprise" businesses and ended up alienating their own engineers, their existing customers and screwing up themselves over the years to the point where they went from being one of the biggest software houses in the computer industry to a little ball that is painted and thrown around owners that operate akin to digital graveyards.
I backed the first Pebble. I think you're overselling how great things were as compared to now, where I can make calls from my wrist or use it as golf GPS. And it's not like smart watches are the only app ecosystem to become closed and shittier.

My BIP fell apart (the screen popped off). Was relatively easy to re-glue.
It's a common issue.

But I was most fascinated to see the hardware inside. It's crazy how miniature it is when the actual body/face of the watch is detached.

I actually stopped wearing it simply because I found even the basic notifications I had set were affecting my brain -- an issue with any smartwatch, not just the BIP.

One cool hack I worked out was combining MacroDroid + BIP to trigger any phone action (Intent). So, you can use the BIP as a remote trigger for your camera, to start/stop music, send an SMS, etc. I added a tutorial to Reddit a while back but can find it if you're interested.
Your argument basically boils down to: well they do pay some tax so they can pay more anyways... not a great argument.
It's a new take on the trick that many startups pulled off in the past: grow fast enough to draw atention, then get acquired. Now, since Tesla's growth has been beyond crazy, they might do the opposite: acquire some established automaker and then, finally, Tesla will get the much needed expertise in car manufacturing business. On the bright side: maybe Teslas will finally get some polish and lose the "overpriced crap" vibe.
There are a number of alternative full node implementations, such as btcd.
The problem is they can't settle down on something. I can't even tell you what their current messaging product is right now. Google Wave is dead. Google Facebook^HPlus is dead. I think Hangouts is dead? The thing in my GMail gives me notices that it's going away. Is it Google Voice? Why would I use a product with the name "Voice" to type "Text" to people, especially when it used to be a phone substitute. Certainly nothing is integrated, aside from whatever the thing in GMail is that's going away (and a 100 pixel wide chat isn't going to be useful for team discussions, anyway). Messaging for Google feels like "this ought to be something we can be good at, but can't actually figure out what to do".

Google makes "messaging products" but it's just something that floats on top on top of the sea of Google stuff. Like oil on top of water.
Thanks for mentioning that, it definitely sounds like you can get a lot further with a HTTP handler in Google Cloud than you can in AWS. I can definitely see why avoiding that context switch is nice. I can also imagine it making things like metadata a lot easier if they use common and well documented headers, where in AWS every service will inevitably have its own way of putting stuff into the event. Everything in AWS feeling custom would be a pretty polite and fair way to put it IMO!

Do Google represent a JSON body HTTP event in a clean way? In AWS when a lambda is working as one, it receives the body as a string in the JSON representing the request, which you have to JSON decode. Again because not everything a Lambda can act on is JSON and your API doesn't have to be, what else can it really do I guess. But it does make it a bit horrible to generate that data to test with - we actually have a small script we use locally to convert a nicely formatted JSON file with test data into their HTTP-request-as-json format because it's so annoying to work with a large encoded JSON body. It's a small thing, but it means when you switch to working with a plain AWS event it's one less thing to think about. And I guess even if you're in HTTP-Request-Land and everything is nice JSON, it's still all going to be custom between services from there on by necessity.
I thought you are limited in the languages they permit, the fastest of which being Go.
The problem with Discord isn't the branding, it's the license. Anything you send in Discord can be used for branding material by Discord. Not good for a business.
Same as Lambda has before. The state you have is most likely short lived as we reap worker environments every so often, but in-between invokes you could persist some data in memory or tmp space.
Best-Buy is the show-room for what's on Amazon.
I find it annoying to have all these pricing per second, and now per millisecond. It's really hard for my mind to visualize what `$0.0000000021 per millisec` actually is.

Being billed by the millisecond does not mean that you should give a pricing per millisecond.

I prefer Digital Ocean or Heroku's approach of billing by the second, but giving the price per month. How on hell is `$0.0000000021 per millisec` better than `$5/month, billed by the millisecond`? If I know that my workload will be about 20% of a dedicated CPU, I know that I'll end up paying about $1 per month.
Awesome, this looks Notion for researchers.

Also i see the IPython in the first photo, can we run IPython on this?
There still isn't a lot of real-world use of crypto. Even all the DeFi stuff on Ethereum, while innovative, is derivatives on speculative crypto assets.

As long as speculation is the main thing going on in crypto, BTC is king, since it is purely speculative, has the best name recognition, and doesn't try to hide that fact.
Would you believe, almost exactly the same proportion of the U.S. electorate that voted for Donald Trump in 2016?
That's a searing hot take, to be sure.

There is no alternative to the C ABI. If you look at stable ABIs in other programming languages, they're either identical to or thin shims around the C ABI! Even COM, with the caveat of calling convention on MSVC.

Regardless of ABI stability you also need software to have API stability for stable distribution. The two solutions to this problem are to statically link everything or package your shared objects with your software. Then to launch the software you need a shell script that overrides the loader search path and move on with your life.

The ultimate solution is the .app/.bundle paradigm of MacOS. Everything should copy that.

The other issues of packaging software like entitlements/capability based security and code signing are similarly orthogonal. If you're shipping big software today, it needs to have everything it needs and to ignore whatever is on the user's system unless they explicitly request an override.

The real tragedy of GNU is that the interchangeability of software was always possible, package managers just managed to make it accidental and explicit. Too many foot guns there.
I think these chat apps lack business context. Gitlab and GitHub don’t have real time chat, that would be a start. Then on top of that, to have context driven chat (a chat that is about a merge request, a branch). Or in Jira, to seamlessly chat on a ticket with those involved. That stuff doesn’t exist yet. We have the primitive version of context-less chat which is great for context-less conversation (normal social interaction). In business, we have something very specific to talk about so would like to see a new idea in this space.

The place where this does seem to be evolving is in customer support. When you chat with a representative, they have a lot of context. Your account, order, possible issue, etc.
