Haha yeah you really have to commit to doing the work. Your mind will likely try to distract you as uncomfortable emotions come to the surface, so you may be tempted to text people etc.

That said, going into it with intention goes a long way. For the days/weeks prior to a session I usually keep a document going and add things that come up. For example, an interaction w/ my wife or a colleague or friend may be difficult and bring up some tension that I'd like to work through, so I'll note that down. When the session comes I'll have a general idea of the areas in life where I'm feeling stuck, so I'll go into it with the intention of working through those.

During one session, the first time I mixed LSD, at one point I was thinking to myself about how the combination was clearly not a good idea since it wasn't working, and reciting in my head how I would describe this to people afterwords. Then, it occurred to me that it's not working because instead of being present with the feelings that are coming up I am distracting myself by thinking of how I'll describe how it didn't work. Once I realized this I was able to go deeper and there was release :)

I'd strongly recommend reading the book as well before you try it, there is a lot of good advice in there for how to prepare and structure a session. As several folks have pointed out, the language is super intense at times, but try to get past that (it's mostly in the beginning chapters anyways) and it's well worth the read.

Yes it's just regulation working as intended. But it also means that once incumbent carmakers sell enough electrics to consume the bulk of their cross-subsidies themselves Tesla will eventually have to consider a new angle on the old "lose money on every sale but make it up in volume" joke. Sure, there are economies of scale to tap, but those tend to resemble log curves at best and given the massive number of identical cells per single car scale might be quite far into the flat already.

A similar-but-different approach exists in (largely Dutch) research around uniqueness typing, which uses static analysis guarantees to allow for destructive updates wherever the compiler can prove something is uniquely referenced. To my knowledge, efforts have been made to integrate that approach into GHC.

The "I've just done my Solutions Architect exam" answer would be that TGW simplifies the topology by having a central hub, rather than each VPC having to peer with all the other VPCs.

I wonder how many VPCs people have before transitioning over to TGW.
My sentiments exactly. From "Nobody Knows My Name":

> Now, I talked to many Southern liberals who were doing their best to bring integration about in the South, but met scarcely a single Southerner who did not weep for the passing of the old order. They were perfectly sincere, too, and within their limits, they were right. They pointed out how Negroes and whites in the South had loved each other, they recounted to me tales of devotion and heroism which the old order had produced, and which, now, would never come again. But the old black men I looked at down there – those same black men that the Southern liberal had loved […] they were not weeping.
I bought the Radeon RX 5700 XT about a month after it came out and it wasn't supported by the latest linux kernel at the time, so I returned it and got the 2070 Super which worked out of the box just fine.

I have lots of experience with both, and I use both together for different use cases. SpaCy fills the need of predictable/explainable pattern matching and NER - and is very fast and reasonably accurate on a CPU. Huggingface fills the need for task based prediction when you have a GPU.

In the early 2000’s my school had some type of novel system. It would periodically log in and run some type of scheduled task without starting the desktop, just initiating a small window that said something like "updating profiles". you could right click the window and open the windows help window, right click that window and get a file browser from which you could run whatever you wanted.

As a kid not knowing much about computers I thought that was so cool. I managed to "hack" and bypass the login. What a piece of shit software that thing was.
It seems you've redefined "waited on" to be some weird thing.

> a mess of functions returning functions that return functions.

That is just a curried function with three arguments. The bigger problem is that programmers still have to understand how Hindley-Milner type inference works to figure out type errors. This gets worse when you add in type classes, dependent types and (Yog-Sothoth help you) lenses.

Your point is still true. For any language, it is important to have an IDE ecosystem in place. The tooling must enable developers to move beyond fighting the unruly or boring parts of the language and instead leverage it to work on the domain.
I get that but often times you need or want ZK anyway. If you are running Druid, Pinot, Hadoop or anything else Big Data they generally have a ZK dependency. If you need service discovery, consensus or config storage ZK is generally great for all of those usecases too.

I think if you want a completely standalone distributed log for an application then it could be a good fit but it's not going to replace Kafka as the goto for Big Data pipelines because it's advantages aren't worth it in this context. (i.e you are already running ZK, you are throughput and not latency bound, rest of the ecosystem is JVM anyway, etc)
I miss EC2 Classic :/. It always feels like the entire world of VPCs must have come from the armies of network engineers who felt like if the world didn't support all of the complexity they had designed to fix a problem EC2 no longer had--the tyranny of cables and hubs and devices acting as routers--that maybe they would be out of a job or something, and so rather than design hierarchical security groups Amazon just brought back in every feature of network administration I had been happily prepared to never have to think about every again :(.

This is my favorite Disney animated film. The story of its production is interesting but the end result is a very non-Disney film. I was never a big Disney fan due to preferring straight-up comedies as a child vs. drama/adventure with some token comedic relief character.

It is very self-aware and has humor Disney does not include elsewhere aside from maybe some Pixar films. I really recommend a rewatch as an adult.

Also as a Seinfeld fan, Patrick Warburton is always nice to hear.

That's a completely unrelated hypothetical (and also, would be illegal fraud).

There's nothing special about shorting in your imaginary scenario either. You could change your scam to "I own Dominos stock and don't order any pizzas, but I put out articles claiming I ordered a million. People will buy up the stock expecting the profits from the million-pizza-order and I will pocket the money. These long holders are a scam"

That is exactly what I have realized after decades of work.

There is a cap on how much work you can do individually. There is no cap on how much damage or improvement you can cause to other people you work with.

It does not matter how clever you are with your code if nobody else is going to be able to continue that work or support its results.

For this reasons I have developed following, informal rules I try to follow:

1. It is ok to be clever with the code if I am going to be only one to ever read or use it. This can assumed to be always false for production code. I limit my cleverness to PoCs, adhoc tools and emergencies.

2. Always think how other, and especially junior members of the team are going to develop and support my product. Is it too complex for them to follow? Is there something that can be done so there is less chance they are going to misuse it?

3. I use my cleverness to try to develop simpler and more reliable products. Simplicity is defined by how much work junior member of the team is going to have to expend to understand it. Reliability is defined by how likely it is to fail in face of junior team members operating / developing the piece of code.

4. If team members have trouble understanding or working with my products it is always my fault. Figure out how to make the product simpler or at the very least provide training and ensure they understand how it works.

> On January 4th, one of our Transit Gateways became overloaded. The TGWs are managed by AWS and are intended to scale transparently to us. However, Slack’s annual traffic pattern is a little unusual: Traffic is lower over the holidays, as everyone disconnects from work (good job on the work-life balance, Slack users!). On the first Monday back, client caches are cold and clients pull down more data than usual on their first connection to Slack. We go from our quietest time of the whole year to one of our biggest days quite literally overnight.

What's interesting is that when this happened, some HN comments suggested it was the return from holiday traffic that caused it. Others said, "nah, don't you think they know how to handle that by now?"

Turns out occam's razor applied here. The simplest answer was the correct one. Return-from-holiday traffic.
It does :)

Even as a "nonresident alien" (meaning foreigner) you can use the USCO website and send DMCA takedowns.

But of course, it only works if you send the DMCA to a company that needs to adhere to US law. So it'll work to get Apple or Google to remove the infringing app, but you probably cannot use DMCA to directly pursue the infringers.
From AWS's dashboard: "We're continuing to address connectivity issues to impacted instances in a single Availability Zone (euw2-az3) in the EU-WEST-2 Region. Services that use EC2 and EBS including Elastic Load Balancing, EFS, Elasticache, ECS Fargate, Sagemaker and ELB, are also impacted." It's affecting one of our RDS databases too from 12:25pm - but not all instances. Rebooting and creating a new instance would become stuck. Sounds like a scenario of connectivity issue in one of the region's data centers causing mass panic reboots bringing everything to a halt?
The only way scams like this can be stopped is if Apple review downloads and opens apps after they’ve been approved and placed on the store.

Elaborate...
But it adds .tail prefix before every callvirt instruction and this breaks some JIT optimizations. E.g. generic type specialization 'if(typeof(T) == typeof(...))' breaks, I had to dig into compiler source code to find out that it doesn't add .tail before ctors, used a struct wrapper and called a method in the struct ctor to avoid .tail prefix, but it adds its own overhead.

Also, most simple tail calls are rewritten by a compiler to a loop, but if you look at the generated IL, there are multiple temp variables, locals, needless assignments. Maybe JIT is able to eliminate those, or maybe not... In C# I could get IL that reflects what I write, without surprises.
Yes and thank you for calling it out! I had hoped for much deeper discussion.

Is "market maker" an officially/legally designated status?
Preemptible instances should not have any associated auto-scaling. It is common for people to run pre-emptible instances as part of a "Managed Instance Group", with which you can associate some kind of autoscaling policy.

You can run preemptible instances without any kind of management or with only very simple management and you should be okay. I recommend a simple managed group with a policy of, "I want maximum one of these instances running at all times and, if it gets preempted, then please start a new one."

If you're using Google Cloud, don't deny yourself the cost savings of preemptible instances. When I was using the same infrastructure, preemptions were very rare!

Funny way to annoy scammers/spammers
I created a very simple but fun way to screw with spammers. The next time someone e-mails you to sell SEO services, or outsourced IT or needs a way to transfer millions with you getting a cut, simple reply and say ‘awesome, can you contact bill@noprocurement.com and he will take care of it’

Bill has an OoO message (a long one) that explains how it will be great to do business together, but to email Helena, and she mails back with another person to include, and so on. It it a nice endless loop of people to include next, requests for attachments and form to fill out.

I take great joy in receiving spam now. It is a simple but creative way to distract spammers/scammers and the more time they spent going down the rabbit hole, the less time they’ll have to scam/spam other people.

It is all free and just something I built to use myself, but anyone can use it. To test it, send an email too Bill, and see what happens. :-)
How to Stop Losing Investor Interest During Fundraising
Again, you have the wrong takeaway. I’m saying the opposite. Your logic seems to be jumping all over the place; on one hand you say BJJ will help, on the other you say it makes no sense because it’s not a good analogue.

BJJ is heavily ruled based and that’s why it doesn’t necessarily simulate real world altercations. Many people dabble in martial arts, never spar, and develop the false sense confidence im talking about: There’s a saying in BJJ, “punch a black belt in the face, they become a brown belt, punch them again they become a brown belt, punch them again...”

Sparring in a gym is absolutely not stimulating a real life scenario which is why is can easily lead to false confidence. But it can show you your skill level without endangering yourself too much.

The point of the sparring comment was to illustrate how much work it is to get competent at a martial art. Advocating that BJJ will prevent rape is ignoring how few people will spend the necessary time to get skillful as well as ignoring all the blind spots that rule-based martial arts introduce.

Advocating BJJ is fine. Making someone think it’s going to save them without also pointing out that it will take years to be effective isn’t. People who miss that second part have probably never trained or been in a real fight or are trying to drum up business for their martial arts school. Honestly, it comes across as the you regurgitated the comment about BJJ because you heard it somewhere and ran with it. Anyone who’s trained in BJJ knows the first year or so you become acutely aware of how helpless you actually are on the ground.
53% loss but they got the $2b infusion from Point72 and Citadel.
GAAP gross margin of 20.6%, so they make a lot of money per car, each marginal sale adds considerably to their bottom line, even without regulatory credits. It's the fixed expenses, like R&D and Elon's stock options that turn the profit per car into a near loss.
