i keep hearing extravagant claims about how much revenue Heroku brings in post acquisition and the best this article does is "hundreds of millions" - does anyone have better information than that? perhaps from salesforce public statements?
Thanks! So the article is talking about what is called in the US an "MSA"(Metropolitan Statistical Area), with NY's MSA having roughly the same population as Beijing.

A like to like would show a much different comparison as the wealthiest parts of New York are outside the city proper.

This is really a shame as there's an interesting story to be told about the recent growth of billionaires in China (and elsewhere) but it's been buried under a glop of poor reporting and wild comparison.

This is an ongoing curiosity of mine. One really cool example is Mubarak of Egypt who became wealthy from corruption. When he lost power he had some wealth exposed and he was richer than any known person in the world.

It's very likely that the richest person in the world right now is Vladimir Putin.
Reading between the lines, it sounds like they are supplying chips domestically to remove a dependence on a foreign, unpredictable supply chain, and are able to use fabs that are losing relevance for server chips in a way that doesn't matter to the car manufacturers.

Sounds like a win-win, but I'm guessing the next thing we will hear is a pitch for federal subsidy for this under a national security banner.
It’s not clear. I went to sign up once and was looking for text like this and could not find it. I didn’t sign up because everyone says it’s impossible to cancel later, and I was worried I missed something in the terms
A fairly large amount of work is required to re-map the design onto Intel standard cells, which are not compatible with others. This means entire backend needs to be re-done. It's very significant amount of work.

If Lucene had adopted SSPL they would have been forced to fork. But basically nothing really interesting happens at the Lucene level for ES anymore.

If you could invest in humans, you'd want a diversified portfolio anyways.
Indeed to keep operating costs low, you might want a passive investment scheme, like index funds.

Paying taxes to fund education and pensions is kind of like investing in an index fund tracking all humans in a given country.

Only kind of like! Such schemes definitely shouldn't be the primary assets in your portfolio.

> and THEN we think about how do we make money from it

Do you really need to think? Looking at the on-demand pricing in US East, a m5.4xlarge.elasticsearch instance costs $1.133 an hour, while a m5.4xlarge instance costs $0.768 an hour. That's 47.53% of extra money. And like you said, it only requires a small team to build and maintain the service.

It is no coincidence that all cloud providers are trying to ramp up their hosted services for open source software, even GCP, who historically only focused on their own proprietary stack. There's a lot of money to be made.

If you haven't seen it, Kevlin Henney's talk about "The Forgotten Art of Structured Programming"[1] is interesting (if somewhat long in the examples later), and somewhat related. It's not specifically about return early (and a case could be made that it should or should not apply specifically to early return), but it is about if, else, return, and how they affect cognitive load when reading code.

> which uses v8 to implement Cloudflare Workers in shared memory space

I'm curious how that works in practice. Specifically, the docs say (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/how-worke...)

> Each isolate's memory is completely isolated, so each piece of code is protected from other untrusted or user-written code on the runtime.

But they don't quite specify if it's isolated at system level (separate threads with unshared memory) or something simpler ("you can't use native code, so v8 isolates your objects").
It would also encourage (rarely) bowlers in unwinnable games to try and force 7-10 splits, so that they have a chance to win on a 7-10 conversion.

This is why you ALWAYS use a Privacy.com (or similar) virtual credit card with limited access to your bank account. It's the same as creating a separation between your API layer and DB layer. They shouldn't have unmitigated access.

AWS has Mac mini, and is expected to add M1 mini into the mix [1]. I expect Apple to take lots of silicon design into data centers and edge computing. Over time I can see a lot of mobile apps running backend through Apple silicon with a full Apple cloud software stack to provide data management around security and privacy.

Alright, I'll bite.

We're probably going to see a wave of disruptions from technologies like GPT3.

For example, we might see something like this in the long term:

A) Someone will create a model to accurately convert low level source code to higher level source code that does the same thing when compiled down. Think assembly / machine code to high level code or even English descriptions of the underlying semantics.

B) At this point, why not pipe in some DNA/RNA into the model from A) to get high level insights

C) Give it a couple iterations and it might be possible to create a compiler. For example... C to RNA

D) Finally... solve problems by creating sequences from scratch instead of re-using bits from mother nature

If we ever do get to D), I sure hope no country tries to use this in a terrible way...
I’ve heard good things about pop os. Have you tried and liked any of the others? It was a bit unnerving to have my Firefox windows change all of a sudden due to upgrade.
What kind of exploit is it (it doesn't say)? Is it possible that further sandboxing levels would isolate the affected instance from other customers pending additional exploits (processes, VMs, etc)? This isn't really my area so apologies if what I'm saying is way off base :P
Another way of solving this problem is to first make sure every person in society has what they need for survival without needing to pay for it. Then you don’t have to pay artists anything and they can do what they enjoy and survive and we can all benefit from the way that computers can duplicate value for free.

It’s a kind of inside out or upside down economics that I have been thinking about a lot lately. And personally I think this can be done in a totally voluntary way without a state drawing taxes and paying a UBI (though a UBI may help cut a path towards this future).

I'm excited by the possibility of Intel's recovery from it's long, slow, near death experience.

That being said this is a classic "grab headlines while one may, for by the time the deadline rolls around everyone will have forgotten and the goalposts will have moved"

Intel hasn't seriously been in the low margin embedded chip business in decades (margin starts terrible and goes down from there as product matures and you have to guarantee supply for a long time).

Expect a stock bump though.
I think it depends purely on your definition of "tech".

Impossible engineering soybeans to produce more heme to make fake meat behave more like meat is a technology, in that it is a novel innovation applied to solve a real world problem.

But in modern common parlance "tech" tends to mean either that a company's offering is either entirely or heavily augmented by new software, or that the company has ties to a specific network of talent/investors/etc, or that the company has very low incremental costs per user. In those cases, they might not be a tech company.

I tried to cancel my subscription six months in advance of the termination date, and they refused to cancel it, saying I would have to call up the month before it was due to expire.

In the interim I misplaced my credit card and had to cancel it - my adobe account subscription was automatically suspended when the payments didn't go through and I never heard another word from them (I deleted my adobe account just to be safe...).

For an unexpectedly joyous role-model, Microsoft Office subscription plans are delightfully drop-in/drop-out - I've done several one-month office subscriptions to do stuff in excel.

This is what happens:

Within an hour of V8 pushing the fix for this, our build automation alerted me that it had picked up the patch and built a new release of the Workers Runtime for us. I clicked a button to start rolling it out. After quick one-click approvals from EM and SRE, the release went to canary. After running there for a short time to verify no problems, I clicked to roll it out world-wide, which is in progress now. It will be everywhere within a couple hours. Rolling out an update like this causes no visible impact to customers.

In comparison, when a zero-day is dropped in a VM implementation used by a cloud service, it generally takes much longer to roll out a fix, and often requires rebooting all customer VMs which can be disruptive.

> Their use is in some sense way worse than a web browser, where you would have to wait for someone to come to your likely-niche page rather than just push the attack to get run everywhere.

I may be biased but I think this is debatable. If you want to target a specific victim, it's much easier to get that person to click a link than it is to randomly land on the same machine as them in a cloud service.
Hmmm. This may sound a bit crazy but I wonder if some sort of "moneyball"-type strategy would work for CEO development and recruitment...

You may expect a situation in Japan to use both flight and shinkansen, but such use is rare for Japanese locals. Flight or Shinkansen + local train (or rent a car) is used in most cases, not both.

For a overseas tourist arriving by flight, anyway it's better to avoid the three weeks. I believe it's on May, August, and end of the year, but former two is Japanese local holidays so you can easily avoid. Then you don't always need reservation shinkansen because free sheets are available (but YMMV).

It seems like even the original post isn't suggesting that what they are doing is illegal, just scummy. I think it straddles the line of false advertising since it is pretty clear by looking at the market of subscriptions that there is a decent premium for a monthly vs. a yearly subscription.

As a point of reference, World of Warcraft offers about a 10% discount for their 6 month subscription plan compared to the month to month plan. Additionally, they have pretty consistently offered one free item from the store (which they choose) for players on the 6 month plan. The last such item was a mount which must otherwise be purchased for $25 (obviously the true value to 6 month subscribers is lower than $25 due to bundling and since subscribers don't get to choose which item they receive).
Of the listed, it should only actually fail on the ones with spaces in them (or rather, the ones that get split according to IFS).
But this is actually the advantage of this approach vs the alternative. Self-driving (or "autopilot") cars today try to use machine learning to read human-readable signage, but they don't have any good way to verify the values with a checksum and so are really vulnerable to graffiti (as are human drivers to some extent). It's easy to checksum a fiducial. So machine-readable signage is actually much more resistant to that kind of attack than human readable signage.

Error detecting and correcting signage would be able to correct or at least detect the error, and it’s also possible to encrypt or, um, sign the signage. None of those are terribly feasible with human readable signage.

A human can take a crowbar to a railroad track.
A human can drop a brick from an overpass. But modifying a signed and error corrected fiducial is gonna be pretty tough.

No. You can't stay focused for 11.5 hours a day, especially not 7 days in a row, especially especially not week after week after week.

I'm a former software engineer. The best engineers absolutely, genuinely can work very long hours and remain productive. 80 hrs/week might be a bit high, but 65 hours a week at 3x average-programmer-productivity is definitely something that exists in the real world, and although it is rare, it is not vanishingly rare.

Hacker News is in denial about this extremely simple fact, even though you can easily verify it by e.g. working at FAANG for a couple years. Probably because lots of Hacker News readers are kids who have not gotten to work with a broad cross-section of programmers; and because the rest of us are literally slacking as we post here, and want to believe our slacking is some kind of biological necessity.

I agree with your broader point that PG's line of reasoning is, at best, a gross simplification of the real world (although I still enjoy it as an intellectual exercise).

If I understand this it sounds like you are defining a "language" for front end user interfaces, say a bit like HTML forms, right?

That way you don't have to recompile the front end because somebody pushed a change, but the "configuration" just gets downloaded to the front end when the user reaches a certain point. Is that it?
