I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve found InfluxDB to be superb for being trivial to get going in a high performance way. I have never touched InfluxDB Cloud - always just InfluxDB either as an arbitrary process or container. Examples of where I’ve found InfluxDB to be more pleasant:

* InfluxDB has way better documentation on functions. For example, look up moving average by time (not points) on TimescaleDB vs InfluxDB. We use these more complex queries and have no problem on Influx. Going further, the number of functions built in is impressive with the same ability to define new functions.

* InfluxDB containers are totally self contained which is great for simple architectures. As a process, InfluxDB is a single executable thanks to Go.

* This is extremely subjective, but I find Flux easier to comprehend as a separate query vs. the use of SQL to do higher complexity functions; however, I am sure this is due to my lack of experience and know how to write said queries in SQL.

It's probably difficult. I'm sure Microsoft has no great love for VBA, after all, they effectively orphaned the language when they came out with VB dot net. Adding the scripting language per se would be relatively easy. But a big part of VBA is being able to navigate the Excel / Office object hierarchy. I believe making that easy in Python would be hard.

>>> I didn’t need to reset/wipe anything in advance

The probable explanation is that you have AW S3 Cellular model (which comes with 16Gb).

Usually it's next to impossible to update AW S3 (available at Apple Store) since it only has 8Gb without unpairing and resetting as the OS quickly builds up caches/system files which can't be removed by the user.

Hence, even if you didn't load anything (no apps or music, for instance), you'll have to go through the whole process.

>>> If you have Apple Watch Series 3, skip directly to the steps to unpair and update your Apple Watch [1].

Notice how Apple tells the users "don't even bother trying to clear up the storage" and directs to the unpairing process straight away.

I encounter this sentiment on hackernews all the time, and it's honestly baffling to me. Apply this logic to the fifteenth century - the vast majority wants blasphemers "cancelled", there is no Enlightenment, no Renaissance, Galileo is banned from Facebook for hate speech [against religion].

I would assume that you don't think blasphemers should be stoned, now or in any age, right? Then why do you trust the majority to make moral decisions now, but not then? Do you think that we've achieved perfect understanding of society and ethics exactly when we invented the internet?

From the outside, you have large-scale accidents that caused a lot of fear that killed the drive for us. Notably Three Mile Island in the US and the effects of seeing what happened in Chernobyl that was drummed up by the US government to show failures by the Soviets (even though the Soviet reactor design was far more dangerous). Additionally, I live near a plant and they hold extreme safety training on iodine distribution and such to school children that makes kids fear the plant.

Building a startup for on-demand nuclear plant submarines for coastal cities worldwide.

Coastal mayors and governors have access dashboard to order nuclear submarines and pay by the hour. Submarine plant comes within a week, plugs itself to the local grid from the shore and electricity flows in. You may want to reserve an instance for a year or the submarine may move to a higher bidder municipality. Emergency cooling handled by construction even in worst case scenarios, no pumping necessary.

Regulations are fine because the submarine plants are not built in your country. Nuclear waste moves out of the country with the submarine when submarine is done powering your local grid. A real-time marketplace lets cities and countries worldwide bid to host the waste for good money.
I'm fuzzy on what it would take for there to be a mainstream formally-verified micro-kernel capability-based OS. Is it probable for Linux to be gradually refactored into that, or are will it take a fundamentally new OS?
At that point, they should create a government-owed corporation to hand off operation to.

End-of-life for plants is a huge issue. The owners of plants are obligated to collect fees for cleanup, decommissioning, and remediation of power plant sites. But what has happened (unsurprisingly) is that operators will sell these plants to someone else, who signs a contract, accepting all future legal liability for any issues resulting from operations or cleanup, then those cleanup fees (which total in the hundreds of millions) get put into an escrow account.

Of course, these new owners are limited liability corporations who find that it's cheaper to provide campaign donations to high-level state officials who then pressure state agencies to allow half-assed measures to be used for containment of toxic chemicals. This is an ongoing issue in right now because so many coal plants have been driven out of business.

If these people won't spend an extra million bucks to line coal ash containment ponds appropriately, I have no faith they will do so with significantly more expensive nuclear waste.
IMHO, the first five words make no sense without rest of the sentence. It is like Knuth quote about "root of all evil".

Nuclear power isn't safe.

If it were, then massive amounts of money and time wouldn't go into trying to make it safe. Nuclear control rooms wouldn't be locked down like Fort Knox. And every major population center would have a nuclear power station nearby.

There's this idea that the only thing stopping nuclear from saving the world is a bunch of hippies perpetuating a myth that it's not safe — like nuclear energy is a genetically modified tomato.

It's not that. It's actually just not safe — or rather, the only way of making it safe is by having round the clock security, big brains monitoring it the whole time, and lots of money.

So, given that climate change will bring with it more pandemics, civil unrest, and natural disasters, is it wise to assume that there will always be people around who know how to look after nuclear power stations? Or people who can stop terrorists who want to make dirty bombs from the waste?

There's a reasonable argument to be made that it's a risk we should take to avoid worse distasters.

But, given that there are cheaper alternatives, that don't take a decade to build, why don't we just not build nuclear?

Let's generate non-controversial power, while massively reducing our usage.
I’d prefer to see continuing or additional tax credits for solar and battery storage directly to the consumer. This would dovetail nicely with an infrastructure plan by making the incentives higher for panels made in the U.S.A.

I think that is the case that the product itself of providing a speed filter would not be an issue unless marketed in a way to encourage non safety. For the product to be considered unsafe they would have to do something drastic like not enable the filter until exceeding posted speed limits or something.

At what point would they be liable? Beer bong directly adjacent to bottles of JD/ shrink-wrapped with bottle/ buy 2 bottles of JD get a beer bong.
Show HN: Nimbo – Run jobs (and notebooks) on AWS with a single command
Hey everyone,

I (Miguel) am an ML PhD from the University of Edinburgh and Juozas is a Software Engineer also from Edinburgh.

Together we developed Nimbo, a dead-simple CLI that wraps the AWS CLI, allowing you to run code on AWS as if you were running it locally. You can find the source code here (https://github.com/nimbo-sh/nimbo) and the docs here (https://docs.nimbo.sh).

We decided to build this because we were frustrated with how cumbersome using AWS was, and we just wanted to be able to run jobs on AWS as easily as we run them locally. At the same time, we wanted to make use of the cheap spot instances (on Nimbo, this is a single parameter). All in all, we didn't like the current user experience of working with AWS, and we believed it was possible to vastly improve it.

For this reason, we also provide many useful commands to make it faster and easier to work with AWS, such as launching notebooks on EC2, easily checking prices, logging onto an instance, or syncing data to/from S3 (you can see some useful commands at https://docs.nimbo.sh/useful-commands).

Unlike other similar services, we are solely client-side, meaning that the code runs on your EC2 instances and data is stored in your S3 buckets (we don't have a server; all the infrastructure orchestration happens in the Nimbo package). We are also open contribution, meaning that all the source code is publicly available on our GitHub, and we welcome community contribution.

We have tons of ideas for Nimbo, like adding docker support, and providing instances with preloaded datasets like ImageNet, so that you don't have to download and store it yourself - you simply spin the instance, and the dataset is available at /datasets. We are currently working on adding GCP support, so that you can use AWS or GCP with the same config file.

We are happy to receive any feedback and suggestions you have.

> but maybe consider, at the margin, blogging more and commenting on HN less?

Have considered this seriously (and still am), but a blog post needs more meta context and exposition than an HN comment. The person browsing a blog post vs. playing the HN slot machine (time bandit?) is in a more passive mode than the give and take of HN comments.

The difference to me is that a blog post is a topic of conversation, where HN is a conversation. It's discourse, facilitated by candid pseudonymity, and not just a foil for someone to pose with. (whereas twitter is just the instagram of ideas.)

I have written at the pro level where it really is like a sport, and a lot of my job involves articulating complex things with clarity and pith, and to me, as a form, the blog post is too passive. However, if I get good enough at that form my opinion may change.
A lot of US government boilerplate is to document authority, responsibility and jurisdiction- basically it's "Why we're qualified to spend the taxpayer's money doing this, who told us to do it, and why it's necessary".
Two anecdotes why I hate the way they went with //go:generate as workaround.

Borland first attempt to C++ "generics" was the initial release of Borland International Data Structures 1.0 (BIDS) around 1990, where they used the preprocessor to generate multiple copies, something like

#define LIST_T int
#define LIST_TYPE MyIntList
#include <bids/list.h>

Rice and repeat for all required types, when BIDS 2.0 came out this was already replaced by experimental templates support.

Around 2005 it was common to use Eclipse EMF framework, alongside plugins to generate Java code (<= 1.4) that would create type safe subclasses from collections with Object.

So learning is a hard process, then again this was their point of view when C was created,

> Although we entertained occasional thoughts about implementing one of the major languages of the time like Fortran, PL/I, or Algol 68, such a project seemed hopelessly large for our resources: much simpler and smaller tools were called for. All these languages influenced our work, but it was more fun to do things on our own.

"--this guy," Luckman was saying, manicuring a box full of grass, hunched over it
as Arctor sat across from him, more or less watching, "appeared on TV claiming to be a world-famous impostor. He had posed at one time or another, he told the interviewer, as a great surgeon at Johns Hopkins Medical College, a theoretical submolecular highvelocity particle-research physicist on a federal grant at Harvard, as a Finnish novelist who'd won the Nobel Prize in literature, as a deposed president of Argentina married to--"

"And he got away with all that?" Arctor asked. "He never got caught?"

"The guy never posed as any of those. He never posed as anything but a worldfamous impostor. That came out later in the L.A. _Times_--they checked up. The guy pushed a broom at Disneyland, or had until he read this autobiography about this worldfamous impostor--there really was one--and he said, 'Hell, I can pose as all those exotic dudes and get away with it like he did,' and then he decided, 'Hell, why do that; I'll just pose as another impostor.' He made a lot of bread that way, the _Times_ said. Almost as much as the real world-famous impostor. And he said it was a lot easier."

I think there’s a difference between questioning if this was an accidental lab leak based of legitimate scientific research, as compared to conspiracy theories that blame China for intentionally creating and releasing a bio-weapon. There’s a large spectrum between rational inquiry and conspiracy theories. Until the source of the virus has become more clear, it seems fair game to speculate about a lab leak without being subject to criticism as a conspiracy theory.

Having said that, I agree that there should be pushback against assigning blame for Covid. Determining cause and assigning blame are done most accurately when decoupled. Even if the cause was a lab leak, the blame may belong to poor lab management rather than the Chinese government. Or maybe it was one individual’s fault. Or maybe it is just one of things that happen in dangerous lab work. Or maybe the blame really goes to world leaders who didn’t shut down air travel sooner. Blame is much harder to figure out than cause, and it’s a lot easier to point fingers at others instead of at ourselves.

If they create custom urls for everyone that look like https://website.com/uuid/ and don't redirect you to the real url... it is not possible to strip anything unless you do some research to find another URL that redirects you to the same page.

Standard SQL is rubbish for time series queries as it is based on set theory which does not have order. Most SQL datbases exploit that fact to increase performance. Fundamentally kdb is based on ordered lists, which is a much better paradigm for time series data.
