The OP paints censorship as an exclusively protective measure. They don't consider that the similarities to being the ministry of truth.

Meanwhile the fact checkers use technicalities of English to sway whatever they're checking. Someone did something but the statement said they took 4 steps instead of 3 before killing someone? Let's make that "mostly false" and just state with no actual evidence that due to the discrepancy of steps the "statement" is false. It's completely intellectually dishonest.

It's an entirely abusive and subversive system that has absolutely zero oversight. Nevermind twitter and Facebook use these groups as an appeal of authority when there is absolutely no authority to be found. They use the names and their authority to state "this is the truth, no questions allowed". Meanwhile they have been wrong and recently have been sued over it and lost. What this means is that none of them can be implicitly trusted to always be the truth or even factual. So why bother pushing them? They're great for pushing a narrative of reality you want to force. It coerces conversation both in topic and candor to follow exactly what the fact checker wants the reality to be despite not being an actual authority in anything.

How this isn't a bigger issue I'll never know. We'll be getting to the point where Google only lets you search approved topics and removes entries which could be "dangerous" based on some arbitrary 3rd party moral authority you never chose. You can't can't tweet information that hasn't been preverified on twitter or Facebook. It's only a matter of time before Google rolls out fact checking for their messaging app or spam filters which leverage the censorship. Then what happens to free speech?
This is great advice. My 30's have been a lot lonelier than my 20's were. Friends moved away or got too busy. It is difficult to make friends with 30+ folks, we are all so busy!
AWS Lambda now supports container images as a packaging format
How does that even work? Lambda seems like a challenge even with the entirety of the datacenter resources to work with. Running it in constrained edge environments with a VM per function seems like black magic.
REMOTE (US & Canada) - Hiring a Chief Technology Officer and Full Stack Engineer for an $8 billion market opportunity

We are working with one of the largest property insurance carriers in the US to build the next generation of wind and hail damage assessment technology, and we’re hiring a Chief Technology Officer and a Full Stack Engineer.

Insurance companies in the US spend over $8B a year on loss claim adjustments, which is a highly manual process. We are building an offline-first Progressive Web App for desktop and mobile that automates existing workflows with the help of Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones).

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to design and implement modern mobile web applications, and a Chief Technology Officer to lead and grow the engineering team. Our current stack is TypeScript/Vue and Python/FastAPI.

You'll be joining a small team composed of successful entrepreneurs and alumni from top Bay Area companies.

We are currently in the seed stage and are planning to raise in Q2 2021. Initially you would be hired as a consultant for our Fortune 500 partner until we raise. Significant compensation is available in the form of both cash and equity.

Please send your resume to hello@nspectai.com with the subject line "CTO candidate" or "Full Stack candidate", along with some links to recent examples of your work.
You have to decline quick setup, and then go flip a bunch of toggles.

For SQL server, AWS can save their customers money by cutting license cost (to MS). MySQL is already free so I don’t see how they can benefit from such a project.
People who run Windows aren’t the users - they’re the product, either with Microsoft selling their eyes with advertisements, harvesting their usage data through telemetry for a profit, using their numbers to push paid development software, or using their ubiquity to be the basis for computer literacy materials for public schools paid for by taxpayer.
Thank you for taking the time to write that! The comment was rubbing me the wrong way when I first saw it, but I wasn't able to put my finger on why, because I agreed with all of the individual points expressed.

Combinators 100-th Year Celebration LIVESTREAM Dec 7 [pdf]
I don’t disagree with you. But I don’t think that the author was all that interested in getting into Linux vs BSD. Instead, they were more interested in pointing out the problems they had with macOS and how it is moving more away from its UNIX roots. This is a fair point.

The larger question of “if not macOS, then what” is almost a throw away in this post. Which, I don’t blame the author for at all... it’s a prickly issue and includes a lot of background context that dilutes their primary point of macOS issues.
I think dynamic linking one of those ideas that looks neater on paper and therefore feels better but just fails in many ways in the real world (at least for statically compiled languages like C and C++).

Personally i think at least half the times i really tried to use Linux i always wanted a new shiny version of some program at some point, this usually devolved into a more or less broken system due to dependencies.

I do understand some people who really loves their package managers and knowing that their updated system will be secure, but many people are even more into shiny new things than me and if anything has held back Linux adoption on the desktop I'd probably point to this second to drivers and configuration troubles historically.

Am I alone in this? I doubt it if we consider the existence of Docker, Snap packages and similar things.

You will have a lot of influence on the project road map and will work with a high degree of autonomy, building and maintaining the tool.

Your responsibilities will be to both write code, extending the functionality of k6, and to maintain the code base, interface with the user community (i.e. review patches :) and potentially evangelize the tool. Your main, long-term goal will be to create the best possible tool and to get as many people as possible to use it.

Skills required:

We are looking for a person combining very strong programming skills with experience in contributing to open-source projects.

Applicants must:

- Have a strong programming background and experience developing applications in Go

- Good technical communication skills

- Understand internet protocols well, primarily IP, TCP, HTTP but also preferably HTTP/2, SPDY, WebSockets, QUIC, gRPC

- Be familiar with modern development processes and practices. Preferably having recent experience developing large scale applications

k6 is a remote-first company. If you are located in Stockholm, you can work from the office, otherwise, you can work 100% remotely.

Right, but my argument is that most products--especially when the company is a startup--doesn't need that kind of scalability and won't for quite some time, if ever.

They all start out starry-eyed thinking they're the next unicorn and oh-my-gawd what if we start getting the kind of traffic Facebook gets tomorrow?! That's just not a reality. Facebook themselves didn't get that traffic for several years.

Can we have an article about the psychology of wringing your employees dry and pretending that 72 hour weeks are a normal or reasonable thing?

While China is nominally communist (insofar as all other political parties are banned) in practice the economy there is based on hypercapitalism coupled with industrial policy and strict regulation; it's very apparent that workers have little to no 'control over the means of production' or any kind of ownership or autonomy within their workplace. It's 'communist' in the same way that North Korea is 'democratic' - the political ideology just decorates an authoritarian power structure and has little to do with the everyday life of the population.

I find it interesting that these comparisons always pit AWS againsta colocation.

It would be much more interesting if the comparison was between AWS and dedicated servers. Dedicated servers have all the benefits of colocation, only you don't need to deal with the hardware. The DC takes care of the hardware, all you have to do it administer the server.

I find dedicated servers to be very cost effective. You can get off the shelf servers in minutes and if you need custom hardware that's only a quote away. Most providers will offer month-to-month billing, so there is no lock-in.

Often dedicated servers are even cheaper than colocation when you add up all the costs of hardware, racking, sparing, financing, etc.

Which polio epidemic had more restrictions than covid? As far as I can tell, US authorities closed movie theaters and public pools. They also warned people to avoid amusement parks and quarantined families that had confirmed infections. These restrictions only happened in a few cities at a time. That seems far less restrictive than what we're experiencing today, and for a far deadlier disease. The case fatality rate for the 1916 polio epidemic was over 20%, and most of those who survived were paralyzed.

If a pathogen with identical risks and outcomes struck today, I guarantee government restrictions would be greater than in the past.

Annotating ML-related web pages with reproduced results
Hi!

Just wanted to share a project I am working on in my spare time: I follow annual reproducibility challenges on machine learning, systems, quantum computing and I would like to annotate related web page with links to these results and all related artifacts (code, data, models, workflows).

That's why I've developed a browser extension to make it easier to annotate web pages with relevant research projects, reproduced results and artifacts and share them with colleagues:

* https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/collective-knowledge/mlemchkmighdglpgfchopcjoegbnenid
* https://github.com/gfursin/browser-extension-for-reproducible-research

You can test it by navigating to the different ArXiv papers or GitHub repositories and clicking on the neuron icon in the navigation bar of your browser. You should see related links shared by the community. You can also rank them and add your own ones.

It is still a prototype and I am very interested to know your thoughts and suggestions for new features.

Thank you!
Can the first sentence of anything ever answer those kinds of questions? The first sentence gives a fairly clear high level overview of what it does. You can continue reading to find out more specifics.

I feel who have responded to my initial comment want the first sentence to be completely understandable by a layman, but simultaneously technically detailed. Those two goals are frequently mutually exclusive in a short piece of text.
It could be done if you heavily patched everything you linked in, or developed an entirely new compiler, or both, but as-is, no.

This is still scam. no matter what it costs.
Not sure why you need a whole bunch of npm modules to do bit twiddling in a performance-sensitive lambda function. Sounds like you just don't like Javascript.

Edit: You're spending like 80ms on cold-start of your lambda function, plus network overhead. If you can spare that, you can likely spare the half a millisecond for the 999,900 cycles you're complaining about.
Makes sense. Good reasoning for the use case you have in mind.

Cloud stuff makes sense when you have some combo of the following imho:

* Need for scalability - at one place I worked high-load was 3x low-load so going up and down saved a lot of time

* Rare need for powerful resources (sort of the same as above) - I provisioned a real fatboi on AWS the other day to do some file processing. Worked like a charm and gone in the hour

* Ability to use higher-level primitives - lambda vs. EC2 instances, databricks vs. EMR, IAM/Kinesis all that

* Need for exploration - I could not afford the peak ElasticSearch + Redis + Postgresql that I had but I can trial it

* Need for resilience - If you need to preserve the data/compute for whatever reason, AWS is way easier to get to a good place

* Lack of knowledge on top-tier ops - I've run long-term dedicated servers for almost two decades now, with top uptime in a decade. I have fuck-all knowledge of doing smart colo ops. If you want to keep your team lean and you don't have this to lean on, it's going to sink you.

If you're using hardware as hardware and it isn't changing that much and you have the skillset, you can get a long way with a colo even today.
Not necessarily, the paper itself shows motivations other than direct revenue for discovering a block (IE ability to withhold a block and selfish mining strategies).

> We also assume that miners always have space to include all available transactions.

This is also a pretty bad assumption. In reality the bitcoin mempool is almost always non-zero as bitcoin has smaller and/or less frequent blocks than many other cryptocurrencies.
