Mission Tactics: Under-Specifying Software by Design
I know someone who needed to do a small task for someone overseas, for $50 or so. An international wire transfer would have taken $35 out, and both parties would have had to go to their banks and fill out paperwork. With PayPal, the other party could have just claimed fraud after the task was done and reversed the transaction. With cryptocurrency, the transaction was sent instantly with a fee of less than a dollar, and settled within 20 minutes.
With this change, is there a way to implement atomic operations like put-if-absent?
Lets say you have an engineering employee with a base salary of 150k. His total cost to the company when you factor supporting roles is perhaps 300k. Assume this person needs to generate 2x that in value for the company, so lets say 600k a year. So that's 0.01% of the job he needs to do. If the tool is even somewhat useful that seems like a very fair price.
Making an MMO is an incredibly hard but rewarding endeavor. There are so many subsystems that you can design and program that you will never end the game; but you will end much wiser.
If you’re not testing/using it the rest of the time, doesn’t that affect the quality? Dog-fooding is usually a better idea, right?
There's always people who aren't prepared to pay the asking price. Maybe they should charge more, especially if it means there's a sustainable business that isn't going to get sold and shut down.
You are looking too much into this. The more people act on contrarian business ideas, the more longshot potential unicorns VCs can invest in. The seminal YC example is Airbnb, letting strangers sleep on a mattress at your house. Sam and other VCs no doubt personally know many founders who face skepticism and self-doubt towards their startups, this is aimed at them.
Funnily I'm in a different position at a different company and in house is a huge win for us over aws/azure due to very specific hardware requirements. There's a time and a place for everything - but the days of colocation are gone for people who don't actually need it

Micro-loan charities like Kiva strike cool balance. The recipient determines if it all goes to charity or if they want to withdraw some of the cash later. The recipient is also involved in the selection process.

It's just that they have a vested interest in not understanding or even acknowledge your arguments.

Scalability is the thing and AWS its Viagra. Whoever has the biggest scalability get to pat itself in the back.
I'm with you on this one: my intuition on the subject is screwy and I don't trust it.

Some people spend the last ten or twenty years of their life in and out of the hospital, and some just fall over from an aneurysm after otherwise perfect health. Obesity (really type II diabetes, which morbid obesity pretty much guarantees) really pushes people into the first camp.

But sure, a smart watch won't keep cancer from metastasizing, and staying out of the obesity BMI band only decreases lifetime cancer risk, doesn't eliminate it by any means.

old school investing approaches would’ve lost you a lot of money in the 2020 market.
This is awesome, I could have used it for a project we did a while back.

I'm sure that somewhere there is a Product Manager at Amazon who talks to customers they find out are using Google Cloud or Azure and asks them "Why not use AWS?" and they mumble some feature of the other service that they need.

Sometime later, said service shows up as part of AWS. :-)

For me this is the best part of tech rivalries, whether they are in CPU performance/architecture, programming language features/tools, or network services. Pressure to improve.
agreed. FTA: "A common way this happens is by eventually being right about an important but deeply non-consensus bet."

It seems pretty obvious that it's profitable (to one's wallet as well as ego) to be right when everyone else is wrong.
No I mean the product that constitutes gsuite hasn't existed for 20 years. Gmail is 2004. drive, which is really the start of gsuite, is only 8 years old.
Setting up and maintaining Terraform scripts to manage your AWS infrastructure takes time and effort; besides, there’s this nagging feeling that should something happens to Terraform you’d suddenly be left trying to keep track of hundreds of resources (which cost you money each hour, or millisecond in case of Lambda) and their access policies “by hand”.

On the other hand, it could be a very powerful combo.

Hear hear, here's to products getting the job done well and reliably, untouchably. If you want to come anywhere near close, you have to put out something considerably better and I've yet to see that. Maybe Google Docs is starting to get there. Still I see expert users driving towards Microsoft Excel, for example. Because they are productive with it like you wouldn't believe.
5 is a small number, but "Ramsey" isn't.
Spot on. I expect this was a designed-in feature, but if I could prove it, I wouldn't be able to do so without going to jail.
Hardly.

Let's see the options:

- A masters degree outside USA, it is probably way cheaper and extremely more prestigious, with better job prospects connections.

- A masters degree in America, it more expensive, but gigantically superior in all the other points.

- An online masters degree like Georgia Tech. Better, cheaper, more prestigious.

- A CS degree online at OSU: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/services/tuition/?p=computer.... 1.5 X as expensive but you will get a real degree (No ABET accredited).

- Coursera/Udacity/Edx. 10% of the cost, courses taught by first-rate universities.

- OCW: Totally free.

- FreeCodecamp: Totally free.

So this program has the cost of Ivy-League universities program with 0 of the benefits. If you think this is a good proposition for your career, I as a hypothetical recruiter, would highly question your common sense as a prospective employee.

University Graduate but entered the job market during the pandemic. Hasn't stopped me from coding and working on various projects. Technically a Jr. Developer on paper but more of a Mid-Level in practice. Currently working as a tutor but looking to launch my career. Check my website to see what I'm up recently.

Interested in Golang, educational applications, or anything with Natural Language Processing (my next application).

What treadmill did you buy? I'm looking for one
Not entirely sure, if feel for most people the best setting is to do the autoupdates. To be honest perhaps even myself sometimes.
I feel we should talk. Any book advice?
What a bizarre claim. Physical competitiveness is a huge part of culture. You don't need to beat someot up to physically intimidate and dominate someone, and you don't need to mentally abuse someone to have a valuable experience in a relationship.
It is not and never was
It was a blast. Between my partner and I, we've got about 30 burns below our belts and have led two different 3-story burnable structures centered on community, play, and curiosity. Doing a comedy piece was new territory, but a lot of work went into making the most guady, out-of-place, consumerist looking strip-mall pawn shop we could. So much detail, and all of it just a bit off. It took people off guard, which for the older burners was a very welcome change, and for the newer ones it just seemed to confuse them.

My favorite memory was two satanist girls who were on a lot of acid and who knows what else absolutely losing their shit. I think, in the end, we were all laughing at how depressing poorly regulated capitalism can be sometimes. I still laugh whenever I see pay-day loan stores.
> For the bulk of us, pen and paper are becoming obsolete. We are quickly embracing digital alternatives because they are more efficient and easy to use.

Bullshit. After trying all kinds of "digital alternatives" for note-taking, I went back to pen-and-paper. As a tool, it's more flexible, balanced, and easy-to-use than alternatives. Plus, hand-creating a physical artifact allows one to utilize natural memory for manipulating physical objects (e.g. remembering the information I need is "on the bottom-half of a page roughly in X location, next to a diagram of Y").

Digital technologies are unbalanced tools optimized to favor a particular use case (e.g. fast entry of only text, bulk reproduction, fast transmission, etc.) at the expense of others (e.g. tool-weight, complexity, overstrict schemas, difficulty composing different types of things).
Old school would have never dreamed that the Fed would pump the market to prop up securities.
Being understood is impossible (an illusion). There is nothing to understand. Following social conventions is possible. But life is not (necessarily) about following social conventions. Nor is it about not following social conventions.
Wasn't Google Wave also "Slackifying" e-mail around a decade ago?
and the venerable WPT (private instances, not the free public one at webpagetest.org)
The political aspect is why I suggest the solution is to just up and fire all those guys. More realistically Microsoft, Apple and Linus could just force the issue. Gets added to Visual C/C++, LLVM, and Gnu C as an extention. And then start polluting code bases and API's with it.
I just had a simple PHP application move from simple VPS hosting to full blown AWS with load balancers, RDS databases and EFS storage.

It's still the same app the load balancer can only send the traffic to one machine. RDS now means DB connections are TCP not pipes. The EFS is slower than an SSD. So it's slower and costs more.

Why did this happen? Because an external consultant said AWS is what the big players use. I argued that our app needs to be engineered to take advantage of AWS or this is an expensive waste. But what would I know, we went with the consultants and payed them tens of thousands to set up a bunch of AWS infrastructure I could have run on a $10 a month VPS...
Yup, I think it would.
My large disappointment with Google's Cloud Platform offering was lack of commitment to parity features.

I am sorry but the concept of "Beta release level" is a complete misfire/mismatch for what an enterprise needs. For example, you cannot, on one hand, advertise that you have a competitive feature (Google Functions competing with AWS Lambda), but then, on the other hand, turn around and label it beta and basically use that an an excuse for inferior reliability and inferior documentation. How can you basically GA a major piece of platform functionality, call it beta, and then ask any enterprise (that has lower risk tolerance) to use it? Enterprises don't want to invest into beta-labelled features, because they know it's an excuse for bugs and half-baked support. No wonder GCP is struggling for adoption.

("beta release" level is a conversation you have with select trusted partners that are willing to tolerate your early stuff in exchange for early access to value... it is not something that is acceptable to advertise as open enrollment to all)
>If you do not have an index on Order.UserId column, then the deletion of the User record will be slow when the Order table is large.

not only slow per.se. The full table scan in this case would also usually take the lock on the whole Order table instead of only narrow block/range-level lock in the index like it would in the case of indexed FK. Such table lock may force some other threads/sessions to wait, and provides increased surface for deadlocks between seemingly unrelated transactions.
That's analytics data, not file storage. If they have 34PB of analytics, they certainly have far more than that of blob storage.
Uses what? Ethereum? Proof of Stake?

Ethereum is the most heavily used blockchain by far and powers all of DeFi which comprises of digital versions of most of the traditional finance tools. It also powers the entire NFT/collectible space which is used by many games, the NBA, and MLB. The interesting experiments such as quadratic funding and decentralized autonomous organizations are also homed on Ethereum. There's some good overviews out there if you're genuinely interested.
Does any software producer do fuzzing on their own product? I have never heard of this being done by software developers. Usually it's done by exploit developers. Of course there are static analysis tools that should uncover a problem like this, and I know that high-reliability embedded software developers use them, but I don't know if the likes of Apple does.
I've done a DCF of a tech SaaS S-1 to test at the advice of a friend who is a PM in tech at a hedge fund.

It still seems like magic, and even more so then, but it penciled. Sponsor got in with the last pre-IPO round (think like a Wellington/Fidelity who essentially buys their IPO allocation by entering slightly early) at $3.5B, IPO was $4.5B, and Friday night post dinner w/ redbull DCF spit out ~~$5.0B to $6.5B. After a few months it trended up to that Enterprise Value. The mind is simply not good at understanding compounding at 70% (or whatever) free cash flow conversion. Not having COGS or working capital or CAPEX is magical.

That being said it’s insanely hard to move from a “things might be worth 10x EBITDA” to “things might be worth 10x revenue”. It’s like using different parts of the brain (left vs right) or quantum physics versus more traditional physics: there’s some magical stuff that’s probably rules based with underlying structure underneath that just doesn’t make sense.

Just one anecdotal example.
I don't see it as "looking for a bootcamp", and that sure sounds classist in a bad way. Bootcamps are highly non-standard and usually weak, with very little time spent on the fundamentals of computing. (building an OS or compiler, theory of computation, etc.) Wanting to avoid college nonsense isn't the same as wanting a bootcamp. It is legitimate to want a 4-year degree that is 100% meat, no fluff. The desired degree would be like a BS plus MS, minus the AA that is built into every BS.

There are an awful lot of people wanting that. Schools don't want to offer it because the instructors would be costly, because demand for BS/MS combined degrees would go down, because administrators personally love non-technical subjects, and so on. Standardization and accreditation are additional barriers to giving students what students want, though conveniently both are under the influence of the schools.
HN readers know so little that I have to provide a link for any statement that's said. I guess you could call it a "knowledge gap."
I would say it's more ideal than Monica. Monica is a separate app from the ones you usually use, using a separate database, with more latency before first input, and more button presses before you can actually store anything. These are all bad features if you're trying to augment short-term memory. I'm not a fan.

(Moreover, Contacts is absolutely relational, in any sense that matters. There's a Relations field. It's stored in a sqlite db.)
Off-topic: Does Apple allow you to self host & use on your website their San Francisco font?

Have they implemented CardDAV support yet? I’d definitely add it to my self-hosted stack, but I don’t want to be stuck updating contact info in two places.
In hard drives, reading off a single track is the fastest op, and reading off of sequential tracks is the next fastest op. I’d count that as a feature of the 2d geometry of the disk
"paralyzation" -> parallelization, yeah? :)
Not always, but that's certainly often the case.

I've never used a reshipper but I looked up reship.com and they charge at least $30 (!) to get a 200g parcel (150mm x 150mm x 150mm) shipped here.
Gift cert to Amoeba records.
> small apps

Even the big ones. A lot of applications (e.g backup vendors) had to resort to use EBS volumes because of lack of read-after-update consistency.

The barrier to entry for lot of developers has been reduced.

My prediction: A lot of storage infra (FS, DB) with native support for S3 will get commoditised now.

Two reasons I use Firebase for my app (although with an admittedly trivial schema/data):

a) I have a thousand things to do that are higher priority than configuring/hosting a Postgres server.
b) Integration with Firebase Auth is a godsend.

I doubt people choose Firebase for technical or scaling reasons. More likely they choose it because it's trivial to integrate, so you can spend the limited hours you have in each day on more important (customer-facing) work.
I tend to think that CRM is the wrong model for friends and family.
