I can't really get into specifics, but the particular issue that we have with DO (and it really is specific to DO/droplets) makes it a complete no-go for our new product architecture.

It doesn't save us money if we can't use it.

As for my reasons being weak, you might have read other places in this thread where I've mentioned that I'm responsible for

a) a multi-million dollar infrastructure,
b) across clouds and on-prem in tier 1 datacenters
c) have been in this field for a long time.

Odds are that I'm not a total idiot, that I have good information and that I know what I'm doing here.

It is not just not out of reach for large governments, it probably not even out of reach for most organizations with between 5-10 people. As the author says, 6 months of "one person, working alone in their bedroom, was able to build a capability which would allow them to seriously compromise iPhone users they'd come into close contact with". Even if we assume the author is paid $1,000,000 a year that is still only $500,000 of funding which is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to most businesses.

The average small business loan is more than that at $633,000 [1]. Hell, a single McDonalds restaurant [2] costs more than that to setup. In fact, it is not even out of the reach of vast numbers of individuals. Using the net worth percentiles in the US [3], $500,000 is only the 80th percentile of household net worth. That means in the US alone, which has 129 million households, there are literally 25.8 million households with the resources to bankroll such an effort (assuming they were willing to liquidate their net worth). You need to increase the cost by 1,000x to 10,000x before you get a point where it is out of reach for anybody except for large governments and you need to increase the cost by 100,000x to 1,000,000x before it actually becomes infeasible for any government to bankroll such attacks.

tl;dr It is way worse than you say. Every government can fund such an effort. Every Fortune 500 company can fund such an effort. Every multinational can fund such an effort. Probably ~50% of small businesses can fund such an effort. ~20% of people in the US can fund such an effort. The costs of these attacks aren't rookie numbers, they are baby numbers.

O365 had a couple of bad years, earning the nickname "Office 360" for a while.

This year, I can only recall a single outage and we've been overall happy with it. O365 costs more than an Exchange server only in part because it comes bundled with all of MS-Office.

There is simply an enourmous amount of assumptions that would go into estimating anything else, because ms is the only correct metric. Lambda billing for a month? What on earth does that say? 10 invocations running 15 minutes? 90,000 invocations running 100ms? (Those two are equivalent btw).

If I know my function takes around ~35ms ballpark, and I will probably invoke it 5,000 times per day, then I can calculate my monthly: 0.0000000021 $/ms * 35ms * 5,000 * 30 = 0.011 $/month.

AWS usually shows a neat example of usecase and what the billing would be on their pricing pages.

It is not about being known in advance. It's to complain that a product is overpriced. People do this all the time, go look at reddit or HN or anywhere else complaining about inflated monthly costs, expensive SaaS, lamenting how Adobe is now a subscription.

I don't know what you're selling, but one of the best ways to get a shitty price review is if you lock any features behind IAP. To prevent this, sell a 2nd version with the feature already in there _with an app purchase price_, not IAP.

For required permissions, absolutely, I would complain and let people know, especially people that are not technically inclined, if something was demanding contacts or location or the ability to scan for BTLE when they don't need it and it's purely to satisfy a tracking or advertising SDK. 1 star, disgusting abusive behaviour.

"9 days battery life". It is Okay and better than the abominable life of a single day of the Apple Watch. But, it is still pale in compare to the 14 days of the Garmin Instinct. I put the Apple Watch 3 away to have the Garmin Instinct. It doesn't have all bells and whistles comparing to the Apple Watch: no apps, no payments, no direct texting input (at least for my iPhone) but I can wear it while I sleep and charge once every 9 days (I use the GPS quite often and it eats up battery). The GPS in my opinion is superior to the Apple Watch. It's pretty rough, too. I have the regular Instinct but you can opt in to buy the Military one with tougher case and HALO jumping alert.

After using it for a year, I kind of understand why pilots often use Garmin watches:

It's really good advice if you're only doing this once per person, but you want to be a bit more careful that it doesn't lose its effectiveness if you want to be able to do it multiple times. Not sure if this happens for other people, but I know when I've gotten gifts based on my comments, I've sometimes started watching what I comment on with that person, which has affected my comments thereafter... not because the gifts turn out bad, but because there's frequently a non-financial reason I hadn't gotten those things myself earlier. e.g., maybe I feel it's just not worth anyone's money, I don't have room for it, maybe I feel it's a waste of resources, etc.

So I feel like to make this work well you really have to know the person well to know why they haven't gotten the gift themselves already.
One category of things where I think you can avoid the above problem easily (at least I have when I've tried it) is consumables, especially edibles. If you know your friend loves to eat something, then you can always buy them more of it; it's really hard to miss here. On the other hand, if you buy them something else, you might not know what the implications are. For example, if you know their computer is low on RAM and you buy them memory... you have no idea if they might've (say) only been putting it off because they plan to get a new computer anyway. Though, I guess is this easy to solve—just ask them on the spot why they haven't gotten that thing yet.
There’s a difference. Position independent means you can move the executable anywhere and run it.

Relocatable means the binary has enough information to fix any absolute addresses in the code after that move. That’s extra work, and means you cannot have the same physical memory mapped to different virtual addresses in different processes, and that you have to either swap out the relocated memory, or repeat the relocation when you swap in the code again (I’m not aware of any OS doing the latter, and don’t see a nice way to do it, but it is a possibility).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code:

“In computing, position-independent code[1] (PIC[1]) or position-independent executable (PIE)[2] is a body of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relocation_(computing):

“Relocation is the process of assigning load addresses for position-dependent code and data of a program and adjusting the code and data to reflect the assigned addresses.”
It sure seems like the nature of the question and the likely consequences of answering incorrectly is:

- of profound importance

- obviously unknowable with their current solution, given the absurdity of RM’s screenshots

That’s a pretty dangerous gamble at any moment, but I’d say it’s inherently unethical to take the risk in the current climate.
Yeah, it's obviously software related issues ... rather than having so many different distros running on it, it would be far more impressive to me if there was an demonstrable clear focus on improving performance!!

Hey Afton! Yes, I definitely should have talked more about this. I got close to it once or twice, but it's an omission to be sure. (I have a friend who's big into cycling and is, therefore, impossible to buy cycling gifts for because nothing will cut the mustard.) Basically, I a) wasn't able to find much in the way of research that supported what I wanted to say and b) fumbled this point and should have found a way to stick it in there somehow.

But then again I had no idea it would hit the top of HN. I'll be more careful next time!!
That's true of every asset in the world. But it doesn't explain why Bitcoin is the best performing asset in the history of humankind for more than 10 years now. Bitcoin as a software is very simple, you can code it in a day in a high level language. But if you don't take the time to go deep on monetary history to see why a money takes over another (or not), you'll miss out on huge gains.

All reasonal people start as Bitcoin skeptics BTW, that's fine.
These are orthogonal. An index is used to prevent a full scan of the key space in order to find a record. You have indexes in both row and column oriented databases.

What a column-store database gets you is fewer I/Os on reads since all the data for a column is stored together. This is ideal for some analytic queries on warehouse databases with wide rows.

> SQL is the most expressive language ever for querying and manipulating data, and in the right hands, that power can make hard things easy.

... what? The most expressive language ever?? You're kidding.

Python? Scala? R? Julia? Java? Rust??

I mean, SQL is fine and all, and folks keep trying to unseat it which I feel is folly but to call it the most expressive language... Not even close.

SQL is rigid and structured. Basic math and string operations are frustrating at best. It's a small, easy to learn and powerful language. But it's far from expressive.

edit: a lot of replies are implying I took the quote out of context, allow me to apologize:

For manipulating and querying data, SQL is not the most expressive language ever, I wouldn't even call it expressive. It's baroque, rigid, and structured. Spark (with e.g. Scala) is far and away a more expressive framework/language than SQL ever will be. Python with pandas is far and away a more expressive framework/language than SQL ever will be. The list goes on.

I'm not trying to shit on SQL -- I live and breath it and I wouldn't be making money doing what I'm doing without it -- but it's not expressive.

Take a look at the first lines of the Wikipedia article[0] for Expressiveness (referred to as Expressive Power):

> In computer science, the expressive power (also called expressiveness or expressivity) of a language is the breadth of ideas that can be represented and communicated in that language. The more expressive a language is, the greater the variety and quantity of ideas it can be used to represent.

I get what the author is trying to say, but expressiveness is the wrong term. Datalog is arguably more expressive than SQL.

The whole NSA leaks thing proved it. They had a tool built for exploiting windows boxes which was leaked and converted in to the ransomware WannaCry which spread globally a few years ago.
At least they have threads, but yes the way they do it is pretty terrible. I wish they took some inspiration to Zulip.

Also it's really slow.
I'm assuming that third parties are a lot more likely to join an external channel on a platform they're already using (and are more likely to be responsive as well).

I think all the existing integration are examples of an indirect network effect -- companies wouldn't invest in providing them if there weren't already users on the platform.
We are drowning in so much cynicism these days. Can't we just accept that some things are actually good news?
I don't agree with all their business practices, but if you're looking for an alternative, Garmin watches do all of that well these days. I'm quite happy with my Forerunner 735XT.

I have to agree... I think DO is pretty good as a starter ground... found dokku because of the DO startup option, and it's pretty much my go to for spinning something up to play with and/or tear down.

Create an app with a Dockerfile in the root of the project, and it's a git push away from deployed. The LE extension adds https, and it pretty much just works. Connecting to DO hosted databases and object storage is pretty smooth as well.

It doesn't auto-scale like FaaS options, or offer a lot of the other bits one may want/need, but it does good for a lot of the one-off things I'll play with.
For those who don't see why a company would want to use such exploits, consider how valuable it would be to know if a company's employees were planning to organize or strike.

There are also paranoid people in positions of power, and bureaucracies that can justify spying on employees. One of the interesting things about this lockdown was finding out that many companies put spyware on their employee-issued computers to monitor their usage.

I equate someone stating their plight with asking for advice. Particularly the following

> I don't really have a good handle on what changed, or how to get back into my old sleep cycle. I just know it's annoying as hell.

In my mind, the only point in saying that is for others to empathize and share their best ideas so that OP can have "a better handle" on things. I think it's only human to respond as I did.

I do think we live in an age where people are sensitive over their interpersonal boundaries to a fault. No man is an island, and people will always give unsolicited advice—the listener can simply just choose to ignore it in which case nobody is really worse off.

Advice is almost invariably provided "as is" and with a suggested grain of salt. I don't see how it's offensive, almost by definition, as there's a distinction between being judgmental of someone and genuinely trying to help.

And for what it's worth, I don't even get offended if people judge me and don't think others should either. It's part of what defines life in a society and judging / peer pressure has a net positive effect lest we remain barbarians.
