To be honest I feel like the 50,000 figure is some sort of plea for psychiatric/psychological help. I mean, you tell me 50 Chinese troops invaded but were repelled and it was secretly covered up, it's probably a conspiracy theory but it might be true and you can see the movie or book possibilities.

But 50,000? Like the population of a small city snuck into the country and then got blown up in an underground tunnel and you think it was hushed up? Mmkay...

That sort of thing is the sign a country in psychological distress.

A route 53 propagation issue caused a bunch of our web servers to be unable to connect to the read replicas of our RDS cluster. The cluster scaled in a RR, but the DNS change took hours to propagate. The web servers kept trying to connect to the replica that didn't exist.

Our workaround was to put the IP address in the hosts files - not an ideal setup, but it got the job done.

Nazis as in “national socialists”. See, there is no ideological differences here, certainly not to ends of a spectrum. It appears to be about community. If people are told their view of how the world works is wrong, they don’t suddenly just change their persona. They go and find people with similar attitudes to affirm their beliefs. And these amplify the beliefs of the members by mutual enforcement as to raise above the criticism received in terms of signal level.

I did not, I was paraphrasing the paper.

"By triangulating the results of RQ1 and RQ2, it is clear that the avaliability of a type system — expressed as a schema — is one of the key benefits provided by GraphQL, in terms of reducing the effort to implement queries, when compared
to REST."

The paper itself was using the word benefit in comparison to REST.

How so? They changed the revenue based bonuses to be paid out regardless of review averages [0]. They at least tried to make a commitment to less crunch, while over at Rockstar the amount of crunch for RDR2 was something the co-founder publicly bragged about [1].

Now people on forums are citing RDR2 as an example for "How to make a great open world game!", while at the same time lynching CDPR for not living up to their attempt to minimize crunch, after several delays.

The double standards at play here are mind-boggling.

Well, the subreddit is literally full of people either complaining or coping. These are people who have actually sunk cost into the game.
They sure do like to pretend they can, though.
Sure. Can't have it both ways though: you're welcome to choose to implement on a soon to be deprecated tech stack but you don't get to bitch about it or expect the maintainers of said stack to suddenly change their minds about deprecating.
Thanks! Language server sounds particularly exciting. I'll be watching this project eagerly.
To my mind, a system architecture that does not take into account is the flawed one, not the other way around.
They're not easier to target when your game is very unoptimised. Apparently even the PC version is very unoptimised and that you might be able to get better performance out of it by modding it.

The trend that I'm more worried about is identifying journalists as ideological opponents. Or even as "enemies of the people".

One the one hand, a further delay risks losing out a big part of sales. Dedicated fans will buy anyway, but presumably a large fraction of preorders came from people who just jumped on the hype. And who knows if you can recreate this hype after the pandemic ends, after other games come out, after you delay the release over and over. And yes, you can fix some of the damage later.

On the other hand, the company had an incredible reputation for quality, maybe one of the best in the industry. How much of the lost reputation will not be recovered, even after all the refunds and patches? Future games will get less preorders, so less cashflow, so more dependence on external funding - an extra source of risks and tension. Future games will not get as much hype, so will sell less. Even hiring might suffer as the best candidates are quite sensitive to the employer reputation.
As someone with similar project growth, I've played around with things like Adwords and generally failed or had a negative experience, wasting money with no results. Marketing seems... hard, and I don't really gave the funds to hire a professional.

> under labour law you take home €5.7k per month - running a company you take home €7k per month

I dunno about Poland, but where I live this type of employment has some caveats:

- You need save for your time off (holidays) yourself.
- You save on social security taxes, but it means your salary is not compensated by it when you are ill (or your kids are ill and you need to take care of them), thus you need to save for this yourself.
- I would like to say that you would need to save up more yourself for your retirement fund (as you pay less for state pension), but at these level of incomes, usually at both scenarios (self-employed vs being employed) you would like to do that, so it cancels out.

Also it may be illegal, i.e. if you are employed like a full time employee - you cannot work as an independent consultant/contractor. Though AFAIK this definition of "like a full time employee" is not very strict.

IMO problem is that income taxation should be treated (mostly) the same, no matter how you earn the money. Because now (where I live), the wealthier you are, the more elaborate schemes you can run to avoid paying taxes on your income.
My niece at age 17 suffers from depression and anxiety. Looking at how those kids socially depend on their phones and myself being old enough to understand that the big companies actively (not coincidentally as in the very early days) making people addictive makes me very angry.

Human beings can't develop essential emotional skill hanging around at FB, Netflix, TikTok, Insta ... what ever. Kids are becoming emotionally crippled for their whole lives. The big companies know what they're doing with us, but they don't care.

It's billions of dollars of science and research of how to get customers and make them addictive vs. individual fate.

I know that this needs to stop but unfortunately don't know how.

Cyberpunk never was cyber + punk.
The world is completely dead, though.

It looks very impressive, but I still boot up assassin's creed Odyssey (of all games) just to wander around (i.e. an OK game but an excellent world), Cyberpunk so far feels like what people who don't like games feel games are like.
IMHO, It's a mechanical problem. Someone who is good at understanding or designing Rube Goldbergs or mechanics can understand programming.

I'm glad to have found this thread, but its kept me up cleaning out thousands of "bounced" blocks from the last 2 day's suppression lists. They are both @gmail.com and gSuite/Workplace domains, and incidentally a ton of random blocks from Comcast as well from users that have months of open history.

This blew away about 10% of our newsletter and marketing subscribers. I can't imagine the time you're having if you send to millions of Google accounts.

Pardon me for being conspiratorial, but I have to say that the timing of these particular issues is of concern in light of the massive attacks the US government and others have faced this week. It seems adversaries would have plenty of fun if they got a new toy that could mess with the user/resource permission mapping at Google would want to use it to go after inboxes to do email confirmations. Even those this is 99% likely to be a DevOps chore that created an SRE nightmare, I'll allow myself believing 1% this was SecOps locking down huge swaths of accounts to mitigate a mass email verification attack.
That could still be an improvement. It would mean that the reach of those sites can't grow beyond 10% in the EU. Other sites would then pick up the users that were left out.
Because they have a line of people wanting to work for them despite everything.
People attach a lot of self-worth and self-identity to aspects of their behavior. For some it’s where they go hiking, or where they live, or a hobby. It’s not hard at all for me to imagine that someone attached themselves to this idea.
>>Jeff himself has said Amazon would not exist without Mackenzie...

:)

Men say a lot of things to their wives that can't be literally true. You have to say these things to ensure they don't feel useless in what is the most successful business of the century.

When you are in a relationship, especially if you are the CEO of Amazon, you don't exactly speak in clojure.core.logic you use a lot of poetic metaphors to ensure your spouse feels important and relevant to your world shattering cause.

Smarter people like Trump make their spouse sign a book thick nuptial agreements. Im sure the women themselves don't really care, getting married to a billionaire is something nearly all women in the world don't get an opportunity to do.

There are also couples like the Clintons who understand how it all works, and are pragmatic enough to move on.

The submitted title ("SolarWinds use the password 'solarwinds123' on their Update Servers") broke the site guidelines badly. Not only is it not the article title (which the site guidelines ask people to use except when it's misleading or baity), it's not even what the article actually says about that cherry-picked detail.

Titles are by far the biggest influence on threads. As a result of this title, this thread is a shallow, frothy rantfest.

The site guidelines say "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." Cherry-picking a detail is editorializing, getting it wrong is misleading, and getting it wrong by making it more sensational is linkbait, for the trifecta.

Submitters: please don't do that. If you want to say what you think is important about an article, please do so in the comments. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

I note that there are many sensational media stories about accidental genius, and zero accidental geniuses who leveraged their genius to become absurdly rich/famous/powerful. I am therefore very skeptical about whether accidental genius really exists. All this is tangential to your point of course.
I don't think making a programming language more like natural language would be helpful. It's much harder to learn a natural language than a programming language.

The point is, the environment is much more complex than it used to be and I see examples of that complexity stifling sharing and expression.
Ah, that does clarify that idea further. I had some inkling of it but couldn’t quite place it. Thanks!
You're attacking a straw man. The claim isn't that police (or the rich) are evil, but that they are immune, or at least relatively so.

Of course immunity leads to more bad behavior. How could it not?
Don't forget non-competes which CA outlaws. Job mobility is key to innovation without worrying about getting sued by your former employer.

This sounds like it's something akin to YouTubecs DMCA process. I doubt that they will do a good job making sure that trusted flaggers won't abuse their power.
I think TechLead gave the best insight into this[0].

Perhaps I'm out of line here but it's worth asking yourself if you're thinking about this because the prospect of taking on responsibility seems too daunting for you. Perhaps the career you're persuing doesn't give you the sense of purpose you might want. Maybe you need to do some soul searching.

Don't dedicate the next ten years of your life to a meme. Instead why not spend that time persuing something meaningful that you love doing. There's no point in spending ten years doing something you hate just to end up doing nothing. If you want to just dick around, take a vacation. If you can't do that, then persue a job where you can.

I know I get extremely bored after about two weeks of vacationing. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life doing that.

How many degrees below your occupied temperature are you setting back?

I have a ground source heat pump and my understanding was to pretty set and forget unless you have multiple zones or are going to be away for a long period of time.

Reason being heat pumps have variable speed compressors and setting them back forces them into less efficient higher stages, and as you mention take a lot longer to recover compared to traditional heaters. If the system is sized right it should be running it should be running below max at a relatively stable power.
I don't know if my memory is correct, but I recall as soon as I lit the weed field on fire the game played "Make It Bun Dem" (by Skrillex and Damian Marley). Maybe my memory is bad, or maybe it just played randomly at the right time for me but regardless that level was an epic experience.

"We mash up the place

Turn up the bass

And make them all have fun

IMO Periscope missed the boat purely because of lack of marketing. The only reason I know of its existence is because Scott Adams uses it daily (or used to) for his political commentary on Coffee with Scott Adams. Aella_Girl just discovered you could live stream on Twitter, and that feature is, as far as I know, backed by Periscope.
My favorite stat of the year: There is now more civil asset forfeiture (government robbery) than actual robberies in the US by value.
> Having played cyberpunk on PC it's mostly a fancy light show and not a lot of substance.

That really depends on individual expectations. With many people treating the game like the second coming of gaming Jesus a lot of the disappointment was pretty much guaranteed.

Personally I didn't expect anything like that, I was hoping for an open world Deus Ex like, with a more "colorful" setting, and that's pretty much what I got.

> not to mention this game is very badly optimized on AMD systems the current gaming king.

AMD has been the "current gaming king" only since Zen 3 desktop release, which happened just last month, most of these CPUs are still completely impossible to buy at actual MSRP.

Regardless of that even Zen 2 is mostly performing very well with the game [0], which the HEXedit fix will only improve once it's patched in officially.

In that context this complaint sounds very much like still complaining about the lack of an epilepsy warning; Sure it's not great to overlook something like that, but it's inane to act as if these are unfixable and nonredeemable issues, particularly in an industry where "games a service", releasing early access products, has become the new low-key norm even for much bigger publishers.

When I'm coding, I often listen to music, and when I listen to music, I often end up singing along.

I heard an interesting take: that CDPR knew that this would happen, but had to choose between "missing the holidays" and "launching even though it's broken" and decided the latter was just less of a problem.

I was replying to the parent post, which was replying to my previous post, where I suggested that authors probably chose to work with O'Reilly because they wished to be paid for their work.

Have you considered the possibility these "attacks" occured and were detected months before but were only announced recently? Could it be that some people have a motive to spin some stories during these politically sensitive times?
I don't think #2 is that big of a deal if all requests happen async, which they should with a client side ORM, and if you're using http2.

I think the bigger problem there is how those multiple REST calls map to your data stores. Very rarely will there be clean separation of data between endpoints, and the stateless nature of REST makes it harder to optimize each call -- meaning, there will almost certainly be redundant queries.

That said, with GraphQL, your front end dev may not realize they are executing the equivalent of many REST calls, which is another problem :) I wouldn't say it's harder to optimize if you look at the application as a whole, though.

The Melting Tones
Its really hard to imagine a website that takes cash or cheque. I suppose its possible.

At this point pornhub is big enough, that fb, google and twitter all banning it might honestly be less of a threat to them than their payment processors pulling support.

Convincing users to type a dns name into the address bar of a very famous website seems easier than convincing the users to mail a cheque (esp. Internationally where people dont use cheques) or pay bitcoin
It goes both ways. Cutting bone and squirting saline can spray back.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not defending political advertising or saying it's a good thing. Just that it exists, and people will pay Facebook for the privilege of reaching your eyeballs even if they don't think they can get money out of you directly, if they think they can get something else out of you, like a vote. So even you're poor financially you are still useful to advertisers because you have something to give.

I agree that most of the time that's a bad thing, although it's possible it can be used by good people trying to convince you to be good, or raise awareness of an important cause. Probably much less frequently, but evaluating good and bad views is very subjective so I'm not going there.

Now perhaps all or advertising is manipulative , dishonest, and immoral. Doesn't detractfrom my point.
