Re: worker processes

Have a look at GCP EventArc. It's a new way to trigger cloud run instances. You could create an EventArc trigger that wakes up a worker image, or some such. Basically,EventArc enables serverless event driven design across all GCP.

Here is another angle to consider. Depending on your country of birth, a Masters can shave years off the time it takes to get a green card in the US (look up EB2 vs EB3 wait times for your country). The Canadian computer industry is tiny compared to Silicon Valley and compensation does not measure up. You are likely to make your way to SV sooner or later.
Can you elaborate on this? const and let should be interchangeable from a performance perspective because it's not like the engine needs your input to know whether a binding is reassigned ever (that's a fundamentally easy thing for a compiler to check) so I must conclude that you're seeing performance benefits from using block scoped variables with TDZ that disappear when you use function scoped variables with var?

In my experience most of the "travel blogger" industry is fake in that they project a self-sustainable journey when in reality they have a lot of money to lean on or they peddle "exposure" to smaller establishments that comp their stay.

Very few people actually do the couchsurfing or couponing style because to most people that approach is miserable and/or dangerous.

It can get a bit exhausting to live in hotels and small apartments because you rarely have a good work setup.

Most of the time there is no good working desk and chair.

Also, working on a laptop is bad for your posture.

I have yet to try bringing an external monitor while I travel. Maybe that would be a solution. Or renting one where I stay.
I mean, you can always just use an async crate and use async_std::task::block_on.

> They have a very nice looking website. Take a look at the chocolate finder: https://theochocolate.com/chocolate-finder. It tells you to input a "postal code" which to most means a zip code

It looks like Theo is a US company, so perhaps "zip code" is more appropriate but those of us in the rest of the world are generally frustrated by websites which present a form field which could be called the generic 'postal code', meaningful to anyone in the world, labelled as 'zip code', something which is specific to the US.

Looking at the Theo website, it appears they use BigCommerce, which is an Australian ecommerce as a service site, which explains why they don't use 'zip code'. Although, your usability complaint about the behaviour of the field absolutely stacks up and suggests they might be using the wrong form widget there.
It's kinda amazing how many processors have been put on the bus. The guy who runs the site has built[1] a huge number of both CPU and peripheral boards. The S100 bus sure has an outsized shadow.

True. A driver in the states is unlikely to ever encounter a kid running out in front of their car, while a driver in China might encounter that situation multiple times a day. Now, more kids are going to die in China (they have higher rates of traffic fatalities), but for kids that run out into traffic, more will survive in China than in the USA where no one is really expecting that to happen (with the caveat that there are much fewer kids running out into traffic in the USA vs China).

It really is just a matter of whether some event is rare or not. In countries where the traffic is more chaotic, drivers are necessarily paying attention much more than places where traffic is much more orderly.
I wasn't aware of the F# heritage, that's interesting. I'm curious why the scala proposal wouldn't cite it. Especially surprising since scala's at least superficially looks more like F#'s than it does like C#'s.

I don't dispute (as I have had to say repeatedly in other branches of this) that the roots of futures as a concept are in functional programming, but the path I'm saying I see here is effectively:

- haskell/monads
|- do-notation
|- monadic futures
|- (this is new to me) F# appears to have added 'types' of do blocks, including a specifically async one?
\-> async-await as a sort of re-integration of quasi-monadic evaluation into procedural languages like C#, python, and eventually javascript and rust.

So what's weird to me is drawing a direct line between scala and rust here when the relevant precedent seems to be procedural languages distilling a thing from functional languages into a less flexible syntactic-sugar mechanism we now usually call async-await. Scala seems like a footnote here, where if you want to claim its descent from functional languages you would go farther back.
> My point is that in my opinion the Rust team has chosen to get the mid-term boost of Rust popularity at the expense of the long-term Rust health.

I don't think a conscious decision of that sort was made? My impression is that at the time the road taken was understood to be the correct solution and not a compromise. Is that wrong?
RSS being awesome is the one thing that everyone on HN seems to agree about. Every couple of years I give it a try but for some reason I'm struggling to get into it. Something prevents me from checking my Feedly feed. Seems uninteresting even though I populated with sources I like.

Can someone set out a "getting started" guide? Like does it help to have good categorisation? Are there some tricks that make a big difference (adding email newsletters perhaps?)? Is there a recommended App or workflow that brings out the best in RSS?
Is anyone frustrated with the tech recruiting process?
More than 1/2 of the American workforce is unhappy with their job. It makes me wonder if people are working in a job that's not aligned with their interests, values and skillset. I think most of the blame is on recruiting process as it's very transactional and don't care about a person's interests (travel, meeting people) and values (working for unprivileged people, sustainability etc).

Last month while I was searching for jobs I talked with at least 50 recruiters none of them asked what are my interests. They look for hot keywords like JavaScript, AWS, Mongo and suggested me a list of jobs. I knew if I join them I will be again miserable.

Do you think the way job seekers are selected is a bit flawed based entirely on skillset and more weightage should be give to interests and values than what's give today?
A little off-topic, but AWS has a service (actually 2) specifically for managing websocket communications.

API Gateway supports an unlimited (you need to ask for an increase from the 500 new connections per second rate) number of connections and is only around $0.25 per million minutes + $1 per million messages.

So just having 250,000 connections open would cost only around $270 per month (and scales up and down as you please).

If you want to find it, you will see racism in America is alive and well. This is what the black lives matter is all about. People may say they agree with MLK, but this is because they know what should be said in public. The actions of society highlight how far we still have to go to fight racism.

I know social conservatives who think they aren't racist but don't care about issues like how many more black people end up in jail than white people. They don't demand justice when police forces overreact to black protests, and don't care when police forces almost don't react (and take selfies
instead) to white protests.

After all this, not being able to see how serious racism is in America is one of the better signs you are racist.
Nikon announces Z9 flagship mirrorless camera in development
>Eerie timing: do they possibly suspect some bad cables?

Why not? Cables with ratings lower than the load they are carrying is a prime cause for electrical fires. If the load is too high for long enough, the shielding melts away, and if it is close enough for other material to catch fire then that's the ball game. It's a common cause for home electrical fires. Some lamp with poor wiring catches the drapes on fire, etc. Wouldn't think a data center would have flammable curtains though.
Good idea. Just a small thing "There’s no-code needed"...there's no need for a dash there.
A similar thing happened to Uber.
The IT Crowd's comedy became dated incredibly quickly, just like Father Ted's.

84% of total world wide ADHD meds are eaten in the USA. There is a difference between identifying symptoms and thinking stimulants are the answer or just not paying any attention.

Servers are at a mix of "cloud" providers, and on-site. Most data (including system configs!) is backed up on-site nightly, and to B2 nightly with historical copies - and critical data is also live-replicated to our international branches. (Some "meh" data is backed up only to B2, like our phone logs; we can get most of the info from our carrier anyway).

Our goal and the reason we have a lot of stuff backed up on-prem is to have our most time-critical operations back up within a couple of hours - unless the building is destroyed, in which case that's a moot point and we'll take what we can get.

A dev wiped our almost-monolithic sales/manufacturing/billing/etc MySQL database a month or two ago. (I have been repeatedly overruled on the topic of taking access to prod away from devs) We were down for around an hour. Most of that time was spent pulling gigs of data out of the binlog without also wiping it all again. Because our nightly backups had failed a couple weeks prior - after our most recent monthly "glance at it".
Maybe recently, but early last decade (2010-ish) they didn't. It's why I haven't had a Facebook account since then. After opting out of sharing my data, I would see my data (namely, my Facebook friends likes) pop up on third-party websites.
I did the digital nomad thing shorter term - for a few months. Kinda fun but I still found work even more invasive on my time than at home. Everyone’s having fun and relaxing at the beach while I’m sitting at the reception area trying to connect to the crappy wifi to upload my work or join a call. Or I’m sitting at a hotel room all day/night working because the time difference is weird or just working in a coffee shop every day is not any more fun than at home. It was killing the spontaneous adventures part of travel which is the truly fun part.

Later in my life business travel killed my love of travel to the point I dread getting on a plane and now I just go to nature near wherever I’m living at instead.
But it does protect somewhat against ransomware on the servers.
They are really more like Hetzner. They have "cloud", but most of the business is dedicated servers. They also operate kimsufi.com and soyoustart.com.

Does anything about the implementation of async prevent a future completion-based async feature? Say it's called bsync/bwait.
I agree on generator<->async conversion.

I'm not an expert but I can't shake the thought that Rust had it backward with async and generator. Generator looks like a good bridge between sync and async. Before reading about implementing async executor and digging under what tokio and async-std is doing (it's been months and I haven't finished), I thought implementing async executor is just as easy as running looping a generator.resume() until it yields GeneratorState::Complete until I realize generator is still on nightly!

It may be because I'm a noob in Rust,
but I can't write easily:

```
let some_handle_arc = Arc::new(some_handle);
future::block_on([
// this future will stop running midway if some_handle is modified in some way
make_future(some_handle_arc),

// make_future_stopper will modify some_handle_arc when receiving
// a certain input from a certain interface
make_future_stopper(some_handle_arc)

]);
```

My initial intuition is if async is generator-based, there should be an escape hatch where the generator-runner just exit, drop the generator, without waiting for the generator to yield Generator::Complete. But again it might be from my noobness being a simple Rust hobbyist.

Sorry for the rant
After we got married back in 2010 my partner Natalie and I quit our jobs with the intent to travel the world for as long as we could get away with.

We ended up starting a startup together in Morocco, applied to YC from Luxor in Egypt, got accepted, moved to Mountain View and spent the next three years running a startup before getting acquired.

It kind of ruined the honeymoon!

I wonder when they will shut the whole service down - it's been neglected for years. They just did a UI refresh and started to remove features.
They want investment. They aren't facing a shortage of any specific currency. As i mentioned, if their shortage was currency specific, they have access to capital and forex markets.

I will repeat. The Japanese don't have any specific need for dollars that they can't fulfill on a balance of payments basis. Some countries do. But Japan doesn't.
Case-senitivity is not a "nasty holdover", it is a good design decision that continues to be proven correct (case in point, this bugfix for case-insensitive filesystems).

Why would you introduce complexity into the filesystem to try to normalize file names when you can simply, not? I mean, have you _seen_ the mess that is Unicode normalization? Hundreds of different glyphs or whatever that are all considered equivalent, but are actually composed of different bytes. The filesystem should try to make sense of all that, and consider them equivalent paths?

Even if you say "well, just capitalization, not Unicode normalization," there's the whole German letter ẞ => ss (or is it ß?) and similar friends like the Turkish dotted I that have popped up as articles on HN. Absolutely glad Linux filesystems by and large do not attempt to take that on, and treat paths as a bucket of bytes instead.

All for what benefit - so you can type File.txt in the terminal and have the OS find file.txt? That is much more appropriate for the Application layer to resolve, rather than the filesystem.

Bugs like this come from over-engineering. Filesystems should be simple, and follow the principle of least surprise.
They're waiting an awful long time to do the one at BHS-7 if so: 14 days from now?
In 2019 I went on a solo Biketouring trip spanning across Canada, USA, Peru, NZ and Taiwan lasting 10 months.
While obviously the means of transportation was draining both physically and mentally it was amazing to be truly immersed in region I was currently visiting.

In general it was great but if I were to do it again I would go way easier and slower on my bike instead of trying to race it plus I would have shortened the trip to last at most 4 months - after 10th National Park or so I stopped appreciating the location as much because I was comparing it to some other that I saw just a couple of weeks before that and the wow factor was no longer there. Seeing too much on the short span of time is a curse of such a trip imho.

All in all it was great and I’d do it again but slightly differently and definitely not as long.

P.S.
(Finding job in covid after the tour was really hard despite my data science/ml engineering profile.)
Is the show widely known enough for that to actually be confusing? I'd never heard of it until this comment thread.

If you have even the inkling that you might want to do this then you absolutely should.

Opportunities and projects and ventures will always be there. Your youth will not.
No, it isn't, as there's no clear cut definition of what an availability zone is.
Absolutely worth it, however I'd offer a few short tips:

1. Try to stay in one place for a few months, minimum. If you can stay a year or two, do that. Jumping from city to city every week seems exciting at first, but it quickly makes everywhere feel the same.

2. To quote Lao Tzu, when your work is done, forget it. If you work remotely, actively disconnect at the end of the day. It's too easy to be constantly plugged into the English-speaking media world and ignore what's right in front of you.

3. Try to blend in and adopt local clothing, culture, foods, etc. Read books by local authors, watch local films. A bit obvious, maybe, but I've met many people who insisted on only eating Western food, reading Harry Potter, and watching Netflix while abroad. At that point, why even bother traveling?
Importance of a Sanitizer
I admire resume liars. The job market isn't fair and you should do anything you can to get ahead. (Employers are going to pull tricks like this, so why not? Just be smart about it)
10/10 feedback, thank you!

So by default, pages come unpublished (so it says page not found), but recently the suggestion has been made to publicize pages by default and we're think that would be a big help here, but we'll also reconsider moving the publish select to a button near your profile link. In the meantime you can update the "Visibility" under "Settings" (I also agree this would be better as details), but admittedly it's a bit mislabeled and without any tour or onboarding it's easy to see why it's hard to find. I'll take a good look at how it can be improved this over the next week.

Let me know if you have any more feedback, this was super helpful!

Yes. I do that.

There are plenty of unsexy remote jobs, especially in customer service. You won't make more than $35,000 a year, but that's enough to survive virtually anywhere.

That 20 year old unpublished paper was challenged by at least one NASA scientist. I am still hungry for understanding here.
I think the question here, then is of subjective value.

AWS may charge more for egress, but that’s not high enough for it to be a concern for most clients.

A bigger, independent concern is probably that there should be sufficient redundancy, backups and such that allows for business continuity. (Note again that I’m not saying that all companies make full use of these features, but those that care for such things do. Additionally, I’ve honestly never heard of an AWS DC burning down. Either it doesn’t happen frequently or it doesn’t have enough of an effect on regular customers, both of situations are equivalent for my case).

Most businesses choose to prioritize the second aspect. Even if they have to pay extra for egress sometimes, it’s just not big enough of a concern as compared to businesses continuity.
Move Over, Nerds. It’s the Politicians’ Economy Now
I did this in 2013. I not only quit my job, but my life. I packed up my entire apartment in a uhaul and dropped it off at goodwill. I packed a backpack and bounced around a handful of pacific countries for a few months (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan). Moved across the country to San Diego after I got back and started from scratch. Then after a year of working I took another 3 months and backpacked around Europe.

It's by far the best decision I've ever made. I had no objective and was completely fulfilled. My subsequent attempts at starting a location-independent business so that I could continue traveling indefinitely failed, or I might still be out there.
Location is what matters. If a home depreciates, that is why.

I find people expect to have both a career lifestyle and remote lifestyle at the same time, but it is much easier to find the edge case employers and jobs and expect some level of disconnect from the rat race. That's the whole point right?

There are thousands of small businesses who need a developer/digital rousabout. I am talking 5-20 employees.

You make your life far more complicated if you try to freelance many clients, as it can be difficult to organise everything and be available at all the right times. Possible obviously, but why not save yourself the hassle amd just manage some small businesses ecomm website or something, and go enjoy your time abroad.

Of China and India: wandering thoughts from streets, boats and trains (2018)
I did it for 6 months and it was really great. My main regret was not bringing a friend (or better yet, SO) to do it with. If I were to do it over again, I'd bring someone else with me. You do meet people, but a lot of your relationships are by nature transient, and it can get kind of lonely.
