Didn’t they announce that you can use containers with lambdas now? So just put your environment in a container
That's because everyone knows about the delta between ISO and real implementations.
I would love to see this as well: having 96-vCPU Lambda instances (or instances that match the biggest C-family instance you have) would solve a lot of problems for me. The execution model of Lambda (start a runtime, handle requests, AWS handles pool management) feels much easier to use than managing a pool.

Someone from AWS once commented to me that "if you're ever having to manage a pool rather than letting us manage it, that's a gap in our services".
It depends on the college. Some colleges like Harvey Mudd College have actual English fluent professors teaching undergrad courses. But tuition is very expensive.
Awesome. Very excited about this!
This should make things easier if you're mature in container tooling. AWS SAM recently added much better support for Lambda Layers, and you can use makefiles etc. there. In fact, I would say building layers with SAM is probably the easiest way to build layers! Now you get to try with container images.

I don't think the transpilation was the issue for Coffee Script. After all, most usage of ES6 is through a transpiler anyways. Rather, I think ES6 is simply a superior language to Coffee Script. That's why it has lost marketshare. Likewise, something superior to Rust could arise, and then Rust's marketshare will be in trouble.
I haven't seriously used the start menu since Vista only ever using it when the only copy of a file is saved to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I just hit win+keyword and hit enter to navigate around. I've only ever used the App Store for upgrading from Win10 S to Win 10 and I rarely even notice the ads are there.

I don't have any issue with the things you raised because they're just not serious issues. I'm more concerned with other problems like forced updates & workstation windows getting cranky without reboots & the batshit Frankenstein of new+old control panels in win10 & the fact that most computers in the world use unix-like operating systems.
Although for domestic/consumer use, we've been stalled on 1 Gbps for a decade. I guess 1000 Mbps is enough for anybody.
It's barely going to get above freezing here for the next 3 months. 2 degrees Celsius today, as Winter just starts to take hold.
Bitcoin might fall into obsolescence, but it won’t be because it is mined. It simply isn’t as useful as ETH. I firmly believe that DeFi, which is based upon ETH’s smart contracts and distributed EVM concept, is the future of the finance and investing universe, even with its many issues today.

Flash loans/minting, for example, have turned the markets into the ultimate meritocracy. Anyone - rich or poor - can access up to hundreds of millions of dollars instantly to execute any profitable transaction, no human review or approval necessary. Liquidity pools, introduced by Uniswap, solved many of the problems and risks associated with holding thinly traded assets. Smart contracts have enabled any new project’s tokens to instantly have real value, because in most cases new tokens can only be released to the market by locking ETH into the contract in exchange for the new tokens.

These innovations, along with those that are coming, enable a shockingly large number of new opportunities in the finance world to a much larger audience than ever before. It might be a few years before security, market manipulation protections, etc. are mature enough for mass adoption. But the opportunities that DeFi enables will drive demand for ETH, in a way that today’s Bitcoin simply cannot.

Everyone in my family puts together an excel spreadsheet with links & notes, ex. If Mom wants a candle she'd either put a link to a specific candle or notes listing preferred brands and scents.
The main thing i learned from this article is that there's a remote controlled car that you can control with the N64! If anyone on here is wondering what to get me for christmas, wonder no more.
It means the author is trying to avoid systems whose developers interfere with your workflow on the grounds that they know what is good for you.
Yeah, Big Sur is the first OS X change that has felt somewhat better in awhile. It's a stupid simple thing, but man the new default system sounds are nice. The old bell was so triggering and yet i never bothered to change it.
I would have agreed with you before Windows 10 came out.
Afterwards I had to regularly reinstall Windows on most of my
machines as well as laptops of close family members because
whether it was a boot loop, BSOD every 10 minutes, random
switching of keyboard layouts or just performance issues to a
point the mouse lagged, there was a whole wave of new bugs
suddenly appearing after some forced update.

Now I run a rolling distro since 2018. Development got a whole
lot simpler, everything is more enjoyable and to date there's
been exactly one noteworthy issue which was resolved after a
quick search and 10 minutes.

And since then I've never seen a "new update available" popup
dialog, no ads, no Cortana, no "smart" features, and most
definitely no need to install third-party software to actually
have a usable file search. I even update much more frequently
than Windows 10 every forced me to, because for some reason I
just never have any issues and I can just do it in the
background.

Wow container queries eliminate a whole class of dynamic CSS through js/native DOM!

https://www.bram.us/2020/11/05/container-queries-are-coming-...

That being said, if only they added a :on-click pseudoselector the biggest class of JS for CSS would disappear and both performance and clarity would be improved. But it doesn't seems that's ever going to happen
I love this stack. I recently added AWS SAM to the mix as well so that I can automate deployments. I have always wondered why Route 53 was so expensive relative to the other services. I have a collection of low traffic sites that I run for local businesses and this is always the most expensive part. I guess it's hard to complain about $0.50. But, given I could probably run them all on $5 DO droplet, it ends up costing a little more.
Even though it's often sold that way, I don't think Lambda is a good fit for interactive use cases. Unless it's used sparingly you don't really want it serving your website or api. It's much better suited for glue code, cron jobs, processing some work queue, etc.
I gave it a brief try a few times along with CoreOS for setting up dedicated container hosts. Only got a few hours in before I decided it was going to be a lot less hassle to just go with a normal Ubuntu Server install with Docker sitting on top of it.
If you are fine serving more data, you could trigger a "More" automatically when the user minimizes a comment thread, and add the "More" comments to the bottom of the page?

Also, to encourage people exploring "More" comments, maybe some comments inside the 2-3 megathreads showing in the first page can be minimized at first?

I wonder what are the thoughts on these design. I really like how Hacker News is designed, thank you!
Since around the time of the Great Recession, my siblings, parents, cousins, etc., and I agreed to give gifts to each other only via one of those secret Santa methods with a limit of $40/gift. This has made things so much easier! We only have to gift something to a single recipient, making it less costlier, simplifying the gift idea hassle, and allowing us to focus less on the "shopping bonanza" and more on just enjoying our time together, etc.

I can't recall exactly why we started this "tradition" during the Great Recession but it was my Mom's idea...the funny part is that one might assume that one of us was hit by the recession (e.g. job loss, etc.), and that's why we started it...but thankfully none of us was negatively impacted. So, it wasn't because of any impact to any family member. I wonder if my Mom was just being prudent ahead of time? In any case, these secret Santa things are a good idea, not just for friends but also for family!
However if the translation layer is designed for consistency, like Babelfish, it would have to replicate many of the MySQL “faults” too... e.g. it would need to have the same non-transactional DDL so it acted “correctly”!

And it would need to replicate the specialised data types like utf8mb3.

To use PostgreSQL features (such as JSON datatype) would presumably need a separate data connection and transaction, because if it isn’t implemented by MySQL, then the syntax wouldn’t be supported by Babelfish.

You would get some wins, but you don’t get a blend of the best of both.
Hi. Found a couple bugs in the web app (also using Firefox). I can upvote my own post in the feed (which may or may not be a bug), but then if I open that post and it slides open from the right, it doesn't show the upvote there unless I refresh the page. Also I can upvote my own post in the feed a second time, Refreshing removes the upvote, so that's just a UI bug.
Agreed! Testing AWS Lambda functions that have any complexity to them at all is frustrating. Even using the SAM tools, I found it difficult to test reliably. Specifically, things like environment variables and bundled executables were a pain to get exactly correct. I'm looking forward to using containers in Lambda functions and improving the tooling.
Don't know which products actually implement them, but a bunch of antenna designers offer spec designs with their logo for free, and can do custom ones upon request. The problem is that you necessarily sacrifice performance for vanity; these designs generally create undesirable radiation patterns.
> Exodus handles bundling all of the binary's dependencies, compiling a statically linked wrapper for the executable that invokes the relocated linker directly, and installing the bundle in ~/.exodus/ on the remote machine. You can see it in action here.

That isn't really what is being described, or at least not what I'm referring to. It's more like a self-extractor.
Northwestern Mutual | Devops Engineers | Milwauke, New York, Remote (US) | Full-Time
At Northwestern Mutual, we are strong, innovative and growing. We invest in our people. We care and make a positive difference.

Northwestern Mutual (NM) has been helping families and businesses achieve financial security for over 161 years. Through a distinctive, whole-picture planning approach including both insurance and investments, we empower people to be financially confident. We combine the expertise of our financial professionals with a personalized digital experience and leading-edge technology to best serve our clients.

We work in a fast-paced agile environment. We embrace out-of-box thinking, bold ideas, experimentation and the eagerness to continuously learn. We are not shy about trying new technologies and challenge our own ideas. We live by concepts of fail-fast, continuously deploy and automate everything.

I'm looking to expand my teams by hiring an additional software engineer to work on initiatives to improve CI/CD, as well as everything around the SDLC, through software. For example we are collecting a lot of data about our pipelines, but not doing anything with it. We could build something to expose relevant data to people to help them help themselves in how their pipelines is built/organized.

For a fairly old company, we leverage a lot of new stuff, deploying our services in Kubernetes, and doing a lot of experimentations with Serverless, but having having some experience with the older classic technologies is also a plus since not every team reached a high maturity state.

Please apply directly at the following job posting and mention you are coming from Hacker News: https://northwesternmutual.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CORPO...
I have to echo everything you're saying here.

Anyone putting anything in "the cloud" and not designing for failure as a first principle is shooting themselves in the foot. I've encountered a lot of folks trying to do this and building systems that can't tolerate downtime and it starts long, difficult conversations always.

But I've never once needed to actually pay attention to those instance retirement emails or GCP auto-migrations. We've built to expect it and we let the provider handle that for us.

Time saved for everyone.
I installed Windows a few weeks ago and found the option to "set up later," but the ISO is several months old and the computer wasn't connected to network at install time.
As pointed out by the most voted top level comment it's a kernel issue.
The cloud enables much faster iterations and experimentstions, I rarely see this factored into the cost of colo/on-prem.

You guys (and gals?) are awesome
We moved to AWS because bad things happen there less often than they were happening to us with various DC providers we used to use.

I've never had AWS tell us that they can't find the server we're renting that suffered HDD failure. AWS has never cut us off from the Internet because a sysop typed a command in the wrong session.

And we find AWS support to be far quicker to respond, and far more effective, than our previous providers.

So, YMMV, but AWS is pretty damn good for our requirements.
I just find them so tiring. I'm sure it says more about me getting old than anything about the content authors, but I've just had enough decades of it. It's the same reason I could never get into Reddit. I don't need the same OS / atheism / whatever flamewars from 1995.

If you're older than me, you probably thought it was old and busted in 1995 already, and if you're younger, maybe that time was 2000 or 2005 or 2010 or whatever. But, sooner or later, it happens to all of us.

This study is amusing. The respondent group is 88% white people, 91% of the total group self-identifying with the literal string "liberal". Less than 1% latinx, less than 1% blacks, less than 1% identifying by the literal string "conservative". On top of that respondents were only targeted by Facebook and Twitter posts.

I guess it should be no surprise white liberals that respond to Facebook and Twitter posts are removing themselves from the gene pool. But maybe it's not only them as other demographics are highly underrepresented in this study.

AWS announces Babelfish: open-source Postgres with SQL Server compatibility
Two of the most under-discussed aspects of gifts are their functions as displays of power and demonstrations of conspicuous care. Robin Hanson’s book The Elephant in the Brain touches on this.
You're just explaining the steps of the parent's scenario. The chain must keep accumulating work faster than any adversary could keep up with or everyone's money is at risk because the state never fully finalizes.
> or have to wait for Amazon to admit degradation of a service is occurring.

Please compare apples to apples. If you are comparing to colo, I don't know of any colocation facilities which provide higher level services (say, Kinesis). They might provide some features like CDNs, but nothing very fancy.

You are left with a EC2 vs servers racked in some colocation facility comparison.

At that point, it's not even fair. I can run a terraform script and spin up a copy of the production environment in minutes. I don't have to create purchase orders and wait for hardware. I don't have to issue tickets. If any machine goes down it can be recovered in minutes, and it will spin up in another hypervisor, maybe even a different datacenter.

You don't have to spend time and resources with discussions on how the 'network topology' is going to look like, and then send people off to implement and wire up stuff.

You don't have to spend cycles diagnosing issues just to find out that there's a bad transceiver in a NIC somewhere. YOU DONT CARE. AWS cares and, even if they can't find an issue, stop/start, new hardware in minutes.

You cannot compare the two in good faith. Sure, it might make sense to host some workloads in a colo, but you are giving up a lot.
