I always kind of thought that it was peculiar that life is almost a defined "unit" on Earth. As if it were an attribute of the universe. And I do wonder if molecules, atoms, and smaller components of the universe are self-reinforcing. Life creates life. Particles do combine and decay. Is it possible that they themselves also sort of evolved, became the most populous, and also quasi-reproduce (in the nature of Feynman transition diagrams?)

EDIT: To be clear, I mean, that they would interact to produce something that could in the future, reproduce them back again. Sort of like how life doesn't immediately create duplicates, it creates babies or immature stem cells, that then eventually mature.
> ”mandatory 50 miles of separation from any other gigantic hunk of airborne metal.”

There is certainly no 50 miles of mandatory separation between aircraft! Horizontal radar separation is 10 nautical miles at most (much less in busy airspace near airports), and vertical separation is 1000 feet.

Of course, the Southern Indian Ocean is very remote and it’s entirely possible that there were no other aircraft within 50 miles of the MH370 flight path.
Good suggestion, but if your content site is a news site, then homepage and certain category pages require by the second updates. Cloudflare unfortunately can't help and all the requests are directly hitting your database at that point. That forces you to get an expensive MySQL instance to sustain that kind of traffic.
New Millennium Athletics has designed a high-performance polo with an exceptional tailored fit that integrates function, modern design, versatility and sustainability. We decided to create our product to address the lack of sustainable athletic apparel options for men and the need for a modern update on the traditional polo. Most polo shirts are either boxy or slim fit, which isn't flattering or functional for men. Our tailored fit polo incorporates high-performance and sustainable fabric along with tailoring techniques traditionally reserved for dress shirts with a focus on function, modern design and versatility.

Will you also ban the other person for being snarky and all the other things I quoted? If yes, then I’m fine with a dual ban.
Something I've never understood how to handle with vanilla web components: if there's some state that needs to be shared and kept in sync between multiple components, how do you do it?

(For comparison, in React you can pass the state down as props from a common ancestor, and in Clojure frameworks all app state is in a giant object referenced by components as needed.)

Why would "not liking the same books as before" imply "we became boring"?
You can't cache everything on a news website, especially the homepage. The homepage requires constant updates. For rest of the pages, I agree and I do use caching.
I would like to voice my counter anecdote! I’m still relatively young and have no dependents , and I relish the times I’ve been at the office debugging something until the lights switch off. Then around midnight I finally succeed in my pursuit and return home, in a state of surreal and peaceful contentment as I walk the quiet city streets. I really just love the feeling of being consumed by a problem and letting everything else fall by the wayside. I don’t feel like I owe my company anything, I do it for my own enjoyment. Sadly while working at home I’ve had none of these moments at all, I work very little and find it incredibly boring

I think it's easier to put the entire system into the reverse debugger. The downside is some complexity seeing into the system to view individual processes. Here is one such tool:

An extra benefit is that you can reverse debug the kernel.
If its done first party, someone (realistically, af AWS’ scale, a substantial number of someones) will mess up using it and nuke their account.

Customer service can correct “we screwed up and have a giant bill” easier than “we screwed up and lost all our data”.

So its not going to happen first party.

(It’s also not really possible DIY as a hard certain cutoff at or before a limit, only at an indefinite interval in time and money beyond a limit. So you still have potentially unbounded expense.)
Yes, there should be easier ways for learners to experiment with AWS without risk. In general, people should be made aware of how much something could cost them before they can agree with it. We have regulations towards this end when it comes to investments. Huge unexpected bills used to be a big problem with phone companies, and it took a lot of effort to move past it. I hope the cloud industry can make progress in this direction.

What I'm going to say next should not be taken to detract from that in any way.

(And I know you don't want to hear it, and I could just save everyone some trouble and not say it. But I'm going to say it.)

When I read this:

> please help I made a ticket and called support but i really need to make sure this is dead please Im 20 i really dont have $200 for them please help

I honestly did a double take when I got to the "20". If you'd put a blank in there and asked me to fill it, I would have said "13". I'm still not 100% sure that the blogger didn't alter the age to obfuscate personal details.

I don't mean to single out this person as especially immature, quite the opposite: the interesting thing is that they assume that a 20 year old is obviously a smol bean who could not possibly be expected to figure out AWS billing or come up with $200, _and we agree_. The notion didn't stand out as surprising to the blogger, or to any of the other commenters on HN so far.

I'm not saying they're wrong! I just find this a remarkable signal of how far we, as a culture, have gone in extending childhood well into college age.
Presumably if you didn't achieve residency elsewhere any potential wife would have some status which could be passed onto the kids?

When Facebook says you can't use your account to run ads, how do you verify the problem? Does that channel actually work?

How would one know they could use that channel? Since there's no contact link or phone number on the thing that says you can't run ads.

I guess the moral of the story is FB doesn't care about user experience for users or advertisers.

That wasn't SpaceX – that was Jim Bridenstine. The SpaceX Crew Demo-2 mission was the first NASA mission to use the worm logo since 1992, but that was NASA's decision not SpaceX's.
I don't but my point still stands, Signal and Messenger are software agnostic (to a degree). There is every possibility that when I send a person an SMS, it will fall outside of the iMessage ecosystem.

If I send someone a message on Signal or Messenger, it will only come through to them via that platform. With iMessage you cannot guarantee that.

Hey Mike, thanks for all the work you've been doing - I first used D3 back in 2013/2014 and been using them for side projects since.

I haven't dug into the whole v3/v4 modularisation, so that might answer it, but is there a way to minimise the dependencies that Plot brings? You say it needs D3, but what of it does it need specifically, the whole thing? It's just that it's 250K or so, so I was wondering what the minimal setup here is.

Cheers and congrats on the release!
I am very happy this thread came up, because I'm looking at cloud providers to experiement with.

So many comments about charges that show up despite resources removed or even deleted accounts, tells me that AWS can not be trusted to present me the full picture of costs.
This kind of rhetoric I think might be at the root of the problem.

If you believe the company founders, in the face of being told they occupy their position 'due to privilege' is 'right about everything' then you're the problem.

Telling executives that they are 'denying racism exists' when they are actually only denying that it exists at the company is obviously straw manning.

If you're of the position that 'anyone who questions claims of racism is a white supremacist', then you're entitled to that position, but it's 'war language' that is driving a lot of irresponsible toxicity in the workplace.

The nice thing about web components, is that this problem is orthogonal go the componentization of the components.

How do you pass the state between an input button and a label?

Whatever technique you choose to do that (including react!) you can use it with web components.

Some frameworks like react though also solve the componentization problem, so since web components are not necessary there (and weren't ready yet when react first came out), they tend to not get used to react and friends, even if they would technically work.

SWIFT is owned by member banks all over the world, and in any case they are not particularly important in terms of the power politics at play here. SWIFT provides infrastructure services as it's good for international banks to agree on a specific protocol. The protocol itself is not noteworthy and can be replaced with another. Technologically, SWIFT is neither advanced, nor interesting, nor hard to duplicate. The cooperation is hard to duplicate.

The real issue is the cooperation of banks centered around the dollar system, and the US as the world's custodian and monopoly issuer of dollars, is going to dominate any such system, regardless of which protocol is chosen for communication, or where the headquarters are located of whatever technology company has been selected to create the protocol. It is not a SWIFT system, it is a dollar-system. When you obtain dollars by selling goods to the U.S., you may think you have those dollars, but they are held in custodial accounts in U.S. banks, and subject to US law, regardless of whether you believe they are "your" money. This makes you subject to US law. You can't really withdraw dollars from the United States (or from any country in a fiat system). We don't live in a world of specie flows, we live in a world of custodial accounts.

That statement causes a lot of consternation, particularly in the eurozone, which is desperately trying to position the euro as a rival to the dollar, but as the Eurozone has discovered, what matters is not the nationality of the account holder, but the nationality of the custodial bank. It's impossible for any system which is a net exporter to become a big player in the international system. But everyone holds dollar claims - everyone has custodial accounts in US banks, and so the US can even disrupt transfers that only happen within the EU, because so much international trade is conducted with dollars, even trade between two EMU member nations, and this is an endless source of agitation for those claiming that SWIFT is independent of the US. It's not. Russia realizes that, and for a long time has been complaining about being forced into the global dollar system in order to conduct trade. It means the US can seize whatever Russian funds are used for international purchases and Russia can't do anything about it. And the US has not been shy at using it's control over the international currency markets to seize funds from nations it doesn't like, such as Iran, or lock out/or seize funds from others.

So there are a lot of reasons for Russia to want to separate itself from this system that have nothing to do with the specific type of legal structure used by the main subcontractor for this international dollar system. For Russia, it's all about trying to gain autonomy from the US -- Belgium or the EMU is not a factor.

You'll only really get 2 when 1 is fulfilled.

From my experience, with repos that have Poetry set up, I do get a "it just works" experience that I've previously been lacking when working with python. AFAIK there is no "scripts" section (for e.g. "poetry start" like "npm start") in the config file, or at least no one is using them. You'll have to take a quick peek into the README, but the same is true for npm projects, as the script verbs aren't really standardized.
"I kind of want to push back on these suggestions..."

What about programming languages? Go is open source and has benefitted enormously from support and funding from Google. That association has helped the language grow and attract developers. In fact, new(ish) languages with large corporate benefactors generally thrive compared to open source languages that have to scrape funding together piecemeal from different sources.

I think the popularity of some programming languages is buoyed by corporate sponsorship or the association with a company. This is not a bad thing, it just means the promise in other languages is harder to discern because they do not enjoy the same financial support, and thus struggle to attract new developers.

I've been using Signal as an SMS app replacement since it was called TextSecure, and it still works that way - if you send to a non-Signal-registered number, it sends over ordinary SMS (with a visual indicator to let you know), very similar to the way iMessage works.

I have a different take on it. I started out doing everything through the console, then learned the cli and boto3, and very recently CDK.

CDK is another tool that build on the cli and boto3 concepts, and also manages the orchestration and dependencies.

Having to go back to the console isn't a fault of CDK. Learning the right tool to use for a situation is part of the learning curve. I go back to the console all the time to look something up quick or to understand what config options are available. Or I repeat the same steps in the console enough times that I get bored with it and automate

Edit: also I tried and have given up on CloudFormation more than once. CDK is like a wrapper layer around it, and has been pleasant to use.
Fresh FAA Concerns Set to Delay Grounded 737 Max’s Return to Service
GP is probably not in Germany, but just an example of why I’d be uninterested in getting something notarized here unless my continued freedom and/or good fortune depended upon it:

American notary: someone who doesn’t have a history of fraud, sat through a workshop and passed a test.

German Notar: a very specialized lawyer, bills like a very specialized lawyer.

Theoretically, you can get stuff notarized at US embassies and consulates, for $50 and an appointment, must bring your own witness(es). That of course has not been an option much of the past year.

In that case, the code would probably work like the C code example I gave. So... I guess you're right. It _can_ be done in Go without `if` if we use unsafe. I can't argue with that =)

In general, I try to to avoid using unsafe as much as possible. Not because I worry that it's "unsafe" or prone to errors (I'm experienced in C, C++, and assembly), but because it makes the code harder to read, and I don't think my coworkers would appreciate that. ;)

I’ve just recently updated my Series 3 to WatchOS 7.4 and 2 days later to 7.4.1 … yeah it took at least an hour for the minor and half an hour for the patch … in general both felt pretty slow but I didn’t need to reset/wipe anything in advance.

I wouldn’t buy a Series 3 today, as mentioned in the article: the price diff isn’t significant. Though updating the watchOS wasn’t such a bad experience as the author described it. Feels a bit like a rant post.

Shares provide dividable benefits: fractional ownership and fractional dividend payments.

They also provide indivisable benefits: the right to vote, and the right to inspect company documents.

The solution to owning "a thousandth of a share" is a stock-split, where the smallest fraction is still one share.
> Which is?

Let me use an analogy. As a manager I help my folks get promoted all the time. The folks who struggle the most are the ones who think about promotion as a set of checkbox items they have to cross off. The ones who are easily promoted are the ones who are looking less at the criteria and more at how they can be introspective and develop themselves.

Framing finding a relationship in a "I'll just check these checkboxes and then I will immediately get a relationship" fundamentally misunderstands that we aren't generally selecting partners for one trait. No one is working from a checklist when they select their partners, so why set yourself up to fail by imagining they are.

Develop a growth mindset, focus on building your skills, build rich and fulfilling friendships. Ask for feedback and accept it. Build others up. People will want to be around you.

> Did you not look at the evidence?

I did a cursory Google search, which suggested online dating results in roughly the same outcomes as in person dating.

> How is this supposed to not create a class of universally rejected men?

If you are suggesting that 80% of men will face universal rejection, I find that extraordinarily hard to believe. It's quite frankly trivially falsifiable.

> Why bother?

Because you've made vague gestures that somehow society is to blame, but won't say how you'd fix it. Either that means you aren't sure, which undermines the idea that society is actually to blame, or your ideas are so repugnant that you are afraid to show them the light of day. You do not get to claim a moral victory by claiming to be a victim and then failing to engage with even the lightest questioning of your narrative.
I think one of the reasons companies introduce matching donation programs is that it’s politically easier to manage than trying to pick five charities to support. Someone will have a loud reaction to whatever you chose. Matching makes you vote with your wallet. Put up or shut up.
