I am pursuing my Masters from University of California, Irvine at the moment (graduating in March 2021). I have 3+ years of experience as a professional developer.

My background is mostly in ecommerce, but I am a generalist who has broad depth. I have worked on desktop GUI applications, low level system code, and web applications. I am looking for a position as a backend developer; can start in March 2021.
Yeah, I'm rather confused too. I run a site with over 10TB transfer per month on a $15 / month Digital Ocean virtual machine. It's fast enough and Cloudflare caches over 80% so I seldom go over the included 2TB of monthly bandwidth.

I'm sure STH has more visitors though.

I disagree- I have many of the same questions this person is asking. And like them, I haven't seen answers that really address the questions.

To add another voice: I "get" Bitcoin- I've owned some myself since 2014. I have never been able to "get" Ethereum. Its proponents always talk about "smart contracts" and the like, and how powerful the language is and all of that. Can you provide a real-world, actual example of how this has been used? Something to help it "click" for me?

I made up the numbers as an example. It doesn't really matter, my point is that Apple's old devices, be it iPhone or Mac, still have value years later. So even when people are fishing the old stuff from the bargain bin sites, Apple is still making money off of them. As a result, Apple doesn't need to compete with the $400 Dell because people will still be buying the 5-year-old MacBook Air from the bargain site and with it, buying app/iCloud subscriptions.
"being publicly seen as a den of sexism and racism is damaging to the brand and therefore to the shareholders"

So they're the ones that publicly and overtly harmed the company's image by going to the Washington Post and doing an interview slagging off their former company, so surely they're responsible for harming it's pubic image and reducing the share value. Also, the lawsuit will be classic Streisand effect.

If they want to commence legal action regarding alleged discrimination that's perfectly within their prerogative. Going to lengths to make the lawsuit public is not necessary, and would certainly be against any responsible lawyer's advice.
I am not meaning to brag at all, but I am a woman considered highly attractive by a lot and I get asked out quite frequently by attractive men.

The only reason I mention that is because I recently started dating a man (not exclusively yet) who has just moved in with his Mom to save money and buy a home. I live with my Mom, who has Parkinson's, to help her.

I do not judge him remotely and find him incredibly attractive regardless. The only person who is ashamed is him! The logistics are the only issue, but we make enough that I don't mind renting out AirBnBs etc...

He is being financially responsible, and I am taking care of the woman who sacrificed her life for me to achieve my dreams and is now unwell.

Be proud, and screw those women with double standards who fail to look a little deeper. It's sexism. A lot of women unfortunately hold this stigma, but there are women like us out there who don't. Keep looking.

I suppose you could argue that, but it is not a package manager in the traditional sense.

My main point here is that once you build the system, there is no longer any notion of "package", just files that make up your root filesystem. There is no package database tracking which files came from which packages. Instead, if you want to add/remove/update a package, you rebuild the system with a different specification, and then sync the resulting tree it to /.

Your post really struck a chord with me because I'm the type of person that likes to give books as a gift.

As the type of person that would totally give a book of 100 bread recipes to someone that I just know "bakes bread," I'm wondering if you think there are book gifts that someone could get you using that mindset and just a little more thinking about depth of domains.

One doesn't need to know anything about baking bread to know that a recipe compilation book is a beginner gift and not something you'd give to someone who has any sort of domain expertise. Similar to how I'm not giving any of my SE friends the Computer Science for Dummies book.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is... would a book about baking that isn't basic be a better gift? Even if it isn't particularly something you would have gotten yourself. Examples off the top of my head include a biography about a famous or obscure baker, an in depth book about the science behind baking, a hyper focused book about history of baking techniques, etc.

Maybe trying to gain some domain expertise in something your potential gift receiver is interested in - in order to give a better gift - is a gift in itself?

Here's a quick way you can get some functional domain expertise in knives to give a better gift to your knife friend (if you want). Depending on if they're into knives as collectibles or for use, I'd suggest finding out which brand(s) your friend favors and then picking up a used knife in a discontinued model from that brand on ebay. Worst case scenario they have it already but even then I bet they'd still value the gift.
AWS previews ultra-efficient AI instances for neural network training
oracle plans to ship serverless GPUs in Q12021, according to our oracle rep. hope this means amazon and google are close as well.
I myself am annoyed by receiving useless gifts just because it is an expected practice of the occasion, so I've developed a behavior where I generally don't ever give gifts out of expectation --birthdays, holidays, etc.-- and instead just give gifts when I think someone needs, really wants, or I think they would like something they aren't going to buy for themselves for one reason or another. Sometimes it's because they don't have the money, sometimes its because they know they lack the domain expertise to choose appropriately, and sometimes it's just because I think they'd enjoy whatever it is (usually books, movies, or meals).

People seem relieved that they don't have to buy me anything on "special occasions" and don't seem to mind that I don't buy them anything either. Although there probably was some resistance to that at first, I've been doing it for so long that I don't remember.
"Formalism" is a fancy word for saying that a system has to have an agreed upon shape - hence form. Programming languages have structure - you can't just type random text, there is a specific syntax, with specific semantic rules based on what you type.

So all I'm saying is that you are working in a formal system, and you are creating formal logic. Every day.

That has nothing to do with correctness. In logic, there is a difference between validity and soundness. A valid argument is one that is in a proper form. You can make valid arguments that are completely untrue.

A sound argument is one that is valid and also happens to be true. It's trivial to create a valid program - it either compiles or is executable by the interpreter. But that has nothing to do with soundness.

It's quite ironic. The unwillingness to understand something, such as math and logic in this case, leads to criticizing it. You can't evaluate what you don't understand.
And personal fitness.

And (mainly for women, sadly) the emotional labour of communicating with relatives and with friends. Social media have increased the burden here massively.

I'm a bit conflicted about this.

Yes, AWS is expensive. And depending on your workload you can certainly save a fair wedge of cash by colo-ing things.

For wordpress, (the site that is running serverthehome) its perfectly possible to run it in a lambda, with aggressive caching and save a whole bunch of cash. depending on plugins, load and a number of other things, it could be a potential saving of 90%. (plus a massive reduction in attack surface)

Before you ask, yes I do know from bitter experience, parts of the financial times had WP wedged into them. making them fast and secure was an interesting experience.

AWS is only cost effective when you are using ec2 with a duty cycle of less than 50%. This means that you are not using AWS for hosting 24/7 compute.

In terms of storage, There are two compelling offerings, S3 and EFS/lustre. however if you're a large scale EFS user, its better to run your own GPFS system.

The hardest part of "scaling" is orchestration. If you're using K8s, there really isn't much difference between running it on virtual vs real steel, barring bringup scripts(don't get me started on networking in K8s, its totally warped.)

TLDR:

IF you need 100+ machines on 24/7, AWS is going to be more expensive.

If you have transient loads, and the average time on for a machine is 4 hours or less, then AWS is for you. However, you'd better use all the other bits that come with AWS to make it cheaper, like fronting it with fastly/otherCDN

You're right, of course. As I mentioned downthread, I was somewhat angry when I wrote this; Brian has stepped in to provide more detail from his side. I'm still a bit resentful, but I understand that displeased or not ranting on Hacker News is not something I should have done. I'm not ready to apologize to the people I included for the concerns I mentioned yet, but I am sorry (both to them and Hacker News itself) for commenting in this way. The blog post gave me a specific set of things to be mad at and I let that get the best of me.
> TIL: AWS is only expensive if your time has no value.

Is it only expensive if developer time is free or if it is, let's say, a quarter of a typical Bay Area senior engineer?

Salary levels are vary quite a lot across the world, even looking only at developed countries. At what $/hr level does managing your infrastructure become more cost-effective?
Metformin? Melatonin is otc.
All fine and dandy, until it is not. Lambda = massive vendor lock-in, which means once you start depending on it, it’ll be hard to rip it out of your system and replace with someone else. My startup used to heavily rely on Lambda and frankly I wish we never did - so much AWS-specific complexity that is just not worth the trouble.

Their own representative admits it[0].

We moved everything to containerized workflows and sleep much better (and at lower maintenance cost).

Oh man, this reminds me of my own experience with early computers in the classroom. Back in these days there were two computers in each classroom. One for the teacher and one for the students to share. Generally, students never used the single computer because what is the point, there's only one. My AP Calc teacher's "student" computer was broken. The school IT department couldn't be fussed to fix it, so we asked if we could and we did. As a reward for fixing the computer, we were allowed to use it. We played GTA (original) every day. One person was back there at a time during lecture. Your goal was to find a flame thrower and a chain of joggers, we called them the school children. If you killed all the joggers in the chain you got a big bonus. You can see where this is headed. Once you got the flame thrower and the school children on the screen you announced it to the class, lecture would stop, you'd flame thrower the school children while everyone watched, and then you traded off to the next person and the lecture continued. All but one person passed the AP exam that year.
Say hello to Product as a Service.
Bragging, a very similar thing was my downfall back when I was much younger.

In middle school I had this weird idea to collect everyone's ID number. It, coupled with your name, would log you into everything on the computers. To this day I don't know why I wanted this info other than to have it. I never once used it for any purpose, I think I tested 1 or 2 but never touched any files. I had a HyperStudio stack (saved to my network drive) that had hidden buttons and a certain sequence you had to press them to get to the "database" (just text entry field that I saved 1 name and 1 ID number per line). It was painfully easy to collect the numbers as most kids had their class schedule on the outside or inside of their binder they carried around. The ID number was only 6 or 8 digits so it was easy to memorize, write down, and store in HyperStudio later.

But alas, stupid younger me thought it would be a good comeback to rattle off someone's ID number when they were picking on me one time which led to a 3 day in-school suspension and loss of computer privileges till the end of the year. They made me show the IT guy where I had stored the numbers (how to navigate my HyperStudio project) and phrases like "hacking" and "hacker" were thrown around even though this was literally equivalent to writing the numbers in a notebook but since I had used a computer to store the data it became a way bigger thing in their minds. Even "funnier" (not to me at the time) I had a friend that helped me collect the numbers (again, this was stupid easy, felt like a fun game to figure out how to get it, and who could collect more the fastest) who got a lighter punishment and didn't lose computer access.

Fast forward to high school and I ended up writing 2 different PHP-based apps for the school. A library attendance program that teachers used to mark that they were sending kids to the library that the library could see (so they didn't just skip school I guess? Or goof off in the halls) and to keep track of who was in the library and how long they had been there. I also wrote an online voting platform for the school that they could re-use for things like Homecoming court/Prom court/Senior superlatives/etc. The reason I bring up both of these? The high school gave me a massive CSV of all the students in the school.... and their ID number to be used for login to the platforms. I still get a good chuckle out of that.
