If you hadn't tethered your software to proprietary AWS services in the first place, you wouldn't have the problem to "replicate" all of that on your own infrastructure. You would simply "have" that stuff - or better said: you'd have the parts that you actually need (having a giant grab bag of ready-to-use cloud services at your disposal tends to entice developers to use them, regardless of actual need, especially in "enterprisey" environments where just another service doesn't really ring a bell with anyone, corporate pays for everything anyway and every developer is constantly engaged in putting more tech buzz words on their CVs).

Queueing and messaging systems, databases, key-value stores, backup solutions etc. have all been invented pre-AWS, and there are battle-tested solutions for all of that out there, actively being used by companies which did not choose to depend on AWS.
What's "production ready"?

Works, is stable and faster than an interpreter? Sure, that is achievable for a motivated and skilled developer working on their own. At least for a reasonably simple language, maybe not for a beast like C++.

Competitive with one of those bigcorp-funded ones? Nope.

Enough that in 2019 it was the most popular topic at re:Invent (our big user conference) and that today per our re:Invent announcement almost half of all new compute workloads in Amazon are based on it. Pretty heavily used across different industries and verticals.
That doesn't mean it's not an issue.

Packetized Energy | Software Engineer | Boston or REMOTE | Full-time | https://packetizedenergy.com

We are hiring a highly motivated individual to join our team as a Mid- to Senior-level Software Engineer working on our cloud systems. You’ll be a cloud software engineer building batteries: giant, distributed, energy storage systems (Virtual Batteries) made up of everyday things like home heating and cooling systems, water heaters and residential electric vehicle chargers. A clean energy future needs energy storage systems of this size and ours are the most flexible, scalable, and privacy-focused distributed energy resource management systems around.

This is a fullstack position with primarily Node.js on the backend and React on the front end. You'd be joining a small team as an early contributor with the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including:

1. Management of tens of thousands of IoT-enabled Distributed Energy Resources (DERs: think EVs, solar panels, smart thermostats) with our IoT platform
2. Realtime optimization of fleets of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs: EVs, solar panels, smart thermostats), bringing flexibility to energy demand to match the variability of renewable energy supply, to minimize costs to the electricity grid, and do energy arbitrage on wholesale electricity markets
3. Enabling short term operational and long term strategic analysis and optimization of electricity networks with our GridSolver product

Brightline | hellobrightline.com | Full Time | Palo Alto, CA | REMOTE

Around 1 in 5 children has a behavioral health condition, yet almost 80% get little or no help. We think that's pretty depressing. At Brightline, we're building an extraordinary behavioral health platform that provides care for the whole family. By combining technology with evidence-based therapy, we think we can do better. This is not the first startup rodeo for many at Brightline, and previous exits by the leadership team include Castlight, Livongo and AllTrails. But we have some tough problems in front of us and we need your help to do this right.

This is going to sound strange, but the only thing that has ever worked for me was HQ, the live trivia game app. It was nightly at 9PM, so I'd my various daily tasks done and then I'd have to go to my bed to plug my phone in to play because it killed the battery. When it was over around 9:15 I was kind of settled in and would usually be able to fall asleep by 10 which is ideal for me.

So I guess if you can build in some sort of "hard stop" a little before you want to fall asleep that might work, but I haven't really found anything since.
Imagination Sells Ensigma Wi-Fi Technology to Nordic Semiconductor
Terraform competitor or complement? I have to admit, the overhead for setting up our AWS is quite a struggle for me, but I also tire of the continuing layers of AWS that could sometimes create a complete waterfall of problems (ahem, Kinesis outage). (EDIT: To clarify, the decision to use AWS for some things or all things.)

When I wrote one it was part of an intro to computer graphics class at university (sample syllabus https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ma/ECS175/). There's probably a lot out there at the university level.

I took it well over a decade ago, but the current material is largely similar. Going in you were required to know C and C++, and math pre-reqs (Calculus, linear algebra). Other university classes might skip the rasterizer building, but I think its a useful foundation.

We started with basic OpenGL to render models. Then we replaced the OpenGL with our own rasterizer, adding features as you went. It was a tough class (10 week schedule), but very rewarding. Probably the worst part was debugging rendering issues. You could see the problem, but it was hard to locate where your math went wrong.
I use https://github.com/peterdemin/pip-compile-multi.

Which uses pip-tools under the hood. It even has a pre-commit-hook to make sure your packages lock files are up to date
You do realize if you use ublock Origin and Noscript that actually degrades your performance because it has to verify to not load that information.
Well we run some ML & OCR workloads on Lambda. Zip file size limit has always been a big problem since we need to package a lot of dependencies. Also 3GB of RAM is way too low for some image processing tasks.
This is a huge improvement for us.

They do have verified publishers, but it's tied to marketplace so not sure how they are going to do "verified" for open-source projects.

One example that I've seen that already exists is "bitnami" is publishing all sorts of generally useful images (like https://gallery.ecr.aws/bitnami/golang) that are verified but not from the original creator like in dockerhub.

That's a good question. The original version of the site was published anonymously, and for whatever reason, the mystery of it attracted attention. The novelty faded pretty quickly though and the site hit the skids. I asked family and friends for their input and they suggested that I personalize it.
Yet it seems to capture the facts correctly, and links to the official statement: https://ir.nasdaq.com/news-releases/news-release-details/nas...
This is the problem with woke kids today. The narrative is more dear than the facts. Only facts from "approved" sources and affiliations. 1984 has arrived.

Instead of attacking me and called me names take that video and challenge any of the facts in there. Or go back to reddit.
The existence of GDPR suggests that people supporting GDPR lean towards that position regarding data held by companies. Leaving aside that not everyone supports (or is subject to) GDPR, that doesn't justify controlling individuals.

There are arguments for addressing the power asymmetry in mass data collection. Those arguments do not extend to individuals communicating with each other, and they certainly do not extend to forcing those individuals to use technological measures that reduce the amount of control those individuals have over their own devices.

There is not enough information currently available to say if or for how long after infection someone is protected from getting COVID-19 again; this is called natural immunity. Early evidence suggests natural immunity from COVID-19 may not last very long, but more studies are needed to better understand this. Until we have a vaccine available and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices makes recommendations to CDC on how to best use COVID-19 vaccines, CDC cannot comment on whether people who had COVID-19 should get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Yes another computer graphics tutorial, there are tons of these out there. Would have loved to see southing unique about it.
This was true three years ago. Plenty of 3D printers are now using ARM. The Monoprice MP Mini Delta has been out about two years now with a price of $175 US. Marlin 2.0 has support for ARM, I think it would be accurate to say "Almost every consumer 3D printer out there runs on top of Marlin", although there are a few alternatives like Smoothie.
You might be able to get away with staying with MySQL or a variant. Years ago I did an "interview problem" to generate a report of some accounting data of a sample data set in MySQL. The details are foggy now, but I ended up doing it all using advanced SQL features that I thought only existed in PostgreSQL (you know, or Oracle), but whatever engine I ended up using had it as well. It was probably the latest Percona or Maria?
My apologies for not making myself entirely clear: even if you have no addons whatsoever, and you open Firefox and try to navigate to some bare-bones text-only website, even that is extremely slow on the 2GB Pinephone.

However, I would question whether uBlock Origin degrades performance – my own experience running Firefox on low-memory platforms like netbooks and the Raspberry Pi suggests that is not the case. Yes, addons use some amount of RAM, but if they prevent the device from loading a modern advertising-based webpage where the ads and analytics run into the many megabytes and the useless Javascript is CPU-intensive, it seems to work out as a net benefit.

Did they ever raise the lambda image size? We'd have to chop our app up and that would introduce too much risk but we are suddenly capable of migrating the core to lambda with 6GB+ of RAM needed for our ETL. Image sizes were really small and we'd have to bundle in Puppeteer and other large libs so it's tough to build a bundle that fits on lambda.
AWS expands cloud compute lineup with new EC2 instances, Outposts appliances
Best gift advice I give regularly:

Keep a note on your phone (doesn't matter the app Apple Notes, Google Keep, SimpleNote, Drafts, etc) with a header for each person you want to get a gift for. Throughout the year whenever you hear them say "I love X author" or "I'm getting into Y hobby" then add a little note under their name. These can be as simple as "Coconut La Croix is their favorite seltzer flavor and brand" to as complicated as "They have complained about a slow computer that you know you can upgrade the ram/ssd" and the list goes on. Then when it come time to decide on a gift you have reflect back on our list.

It's incredibly helpful for me and led to gifts that have been very appreciated and used over and over. I think back to a dog seat cover I got for a friend after hearing them talk about taking their dog hiking a lot. They called me about a month after they got the gift out of the blue and said something like "I've used this dog seat cover tons of times already and it makes taking the dog so much easier". That cover was less that $30 easy but it was more impactful than if I had spent $100 on them. That same person I got 3 months of BarkBox for them at one point and I heard about how much they enjoyed that for multiple months after the last box shipped and every time I went over they would talk about "Our dog loves this one toy that we go in the box".
Ahh very true, I was just assuming that most people are not operating under these conditions.

Those are also areas where AWS will negotiate on price with an enterprise though.

If you're small, you can certainly save money with LightSail.

EC2 gives you better pricing options when you commit to spend though (even if you aren't an enterprise...).

Probably good for dockerhub TBH....they get less traffic so less costs but will probably remain the defacto standard and go-to spot for finding images for the foreseeable future.
The fact that this is getting downvoted is a sad reflection of the lack of self-awareness of many in the HN community. Very disappointing.

Java - all you have to do is mvn install clean build -> Maven is amazing at dependency management. Same in JS - npm install and npm start works like a charm.

First good luck with your effort to draw people to look further into your website. For critique, you list everything three times, the image, the expansion of the acronym, and the definition.

Study in countries where it's free. Concept of paying for the education seems crazy to me, if you have brain, you won't spend for your education a cent. I have two master degrees, graduated in different countries and never knew what is student debt.

Mostly they ask you to study their language first, and then you can work on your degree, for free. Investing in educated citizen (including potential) is a right thing.

Exactly. The parent comment is missing the point. People are doing it because their life would be an endless unbearable grind of work and basic bodily needs. For my mental health it's definitely a worthy trade-off, I can do the grind for a few days but it really sucks the joy out of life if you can't do anything enjoyable every day.

I'm a brazilian electrical and software engineer with 4 years of experience developing embedded applications and web.

I'm highly interested in Math, Statistics, Game theory, Information theory and Category theory (I'm not a hardcore haskeller... yet, so I do not include it in my techs).
These days I'm working on marketing automation with my own startup.

Covid hit Brazil very hard, and my family specially suffered form this, so the high variance of returns of a startup life is not acceptable for me anymore.

I'm very used to remote work and will receive in cryptocoins and work on a contractor bases if it is more convenient for both parts.

Cheers!

As far as I recall, the studies on happiness were all cash flow, not wealth. It takes quite a bit of wealth to get to the cash flow limit that /may/ stop making you happy (60-80k/yr iirc). Unless you think ~50% of your waking hours are worthless and can be given away for free, you need that wealth before these limits become a factor (even if one's job was perfectly aligned with their life meaning, which isn't the case for almost anyone, they could just do it anyway with the wealth, minus the economic insecurity; otherwise (i.e. for almost everyone) they could do something either more fun, or more meaningful, or both, with the time).
