It's not even a case of stopping using the cloud entirely so much as be aware of all the trade-offs, calculate them as much as possible and make an educated choice which it sounds like your lead did.

The problem is that for many dev's who've been inculcated their entire careers with the mantra "cloud first" getting them to a point where they can accurately make an educated choice takes time.

Or to put it another way, the pendulum is currently swung way over towards "cloud everything".

I'm older than I suspect the average age is on here so I've lived in the "pre-cloud" and "cloud" world and can see the benefits (and drawbacks) of both.

The irony is that much of the work done to make things work in the cloud is directly applicable to running similar workloads on your own hardware if you want to (docker, things like minio as a random example) hell even Kubernetes.

They can increase when home values increase.

But, that increase is capped at a percent per year, which practically speaking means taxes lag behind home values when they increase.

The ease of adversarial collisions has no relationship to the probability of natural collisions.

It's entirely possible to make a cryptographic hash algorithm that has an exceptionally low probability of natural collisions but where adversarial collisions are trivial.

It's also possible to create a cryptographic hash algorithm where occasional natural collisions are expected, but adversarial collisions require brute force.
You should seek Chinese sources on this Chinese business story if you want to get closest to the truth.

There you have it. Why is San Francisco’s city government so dysfunctional? Because no matter how bad it gets and how much liberal policies fail, voters can convince themselves that the problem is “moneyed elites” and “not enough liberalism.” Just amazing.
Picking a couple specific issues, to me, seems like a naive hope in counting a majority of over-privileged under-taxed folk whose land-value goes up the more they suppress change or growth. Trying to argue this or that specific issue, get them to come around each time, seems unlikely to provide real progress.
Sorry, but if the Afghan people don't care enough about a secular version of their nation to fight back against a small/moderate size Islamist military organization then why should we care.

I guess when you have a bespoke OS that can't really be virtualized and needs to run on your own (non-server grade) hardware, you need to do stuff like this. I imagine the 'build server' is actually just a Mac Mini.

The other comments are all correct, but they didn't address your last point. Yes, you will indeed pay taxes on the $1M value, and yeah, high property taxes is definitely something to plan for when buying property in California. The kicker is, as others mentioned, when your home's value is $2M in five years, you're still paying taxes on essentialy a $1M property.
It can. To me, this is the usual debate between taxing income and taxing wealth. They each have their positives and negatives.
Peers connect to you by opening a connection to the advertised IP(s) and port. Bots connect to you by opening a connection to the advertised IP(s) and port. How do you tell which is which?

With hole punching, at least you have some amount of mutual recognition by using the same external server, and you get some amount of DoS protection from the server itself (though of course the server will likely support many more connections than your local system).

So in the end, aren't you more secure using a hole punch method for direct connections over the internet for P2P communication, even on IPv6?

If you're implementing a text input widget then your widget needs to interact with the platform IME. It doesn't just receive text to append to the buffer in response to key presses. The IME may be context-sensitive and thus need access to the existing text, it may replace previously entered text, it may want to display a pop-up (e.g. a list of candidates) near the cursor position. These things require interfacing with the OS, and the underlying data model varies for each platform.
We have some ideas... anyway, what do the initial conditions of our universe have to do with this one definition of the 2nd law?
Oh please, yourself. Winston Churchill wrote an excellent series on WW II and the invasion of Austria was one of the key points that WW II could have been prevented.

The fact that Britain and France failed to enforce the Treaty of Versailles after Hitler's violations demonstrated to Hitler that he could continue violating the treaty and nobody would stand up to him.

That is why, when Germany decided to invade Poland, they didn't expect that Britain and France would actually fight. And the cowardice that they had seen displayed left them convinced that Britain would quickly sue for peace when put to the test.

Furthermore HAD Britain and France responded with force in 1938, Germany wasn't ready and would have backed down. In fact the big reason why Germany wanted Austria was to secure Austrian steel that Germany needed for war manufacturing.

If you put a line in the sand and your enemy crosses it without consequence, you shouldn't expect that they will believe your next line in the sand, no matter how strongly worded your statement is.

What about secure key import on Android? It's still not that widely available, but should be everywhere in a few years. The idea is:

-a keypair is generated in secure hardware

- you send the public key to a server which encrypts the secret key with it

- the server sends the encrypted key back

- then it goes inside the secure hardware where it gets decrypted

The decrypted secret key is never in the userspace.
The only reason I don't laugh quite out loud is that I have a misfortune of living in Seattle and my wife refuses to move until something "actually happens" to us, as opposed to stuff going on 15 blocks away.

California is not suffering from others' "broken" policy, but only from its own.

It's an unpopular opinion, but I think it's great that there are people out there who concentrate the entire problem around themselves and spare the rest of us. They should suffer the consequences of their very willful and insistent stupidity. We should make fun of them, from safe distance.

You do need to own a house to suffer the consequences of bad zoning policies, if owning prices go up, rent goes up as well.

Not to mention that when owning prices are high, there’s a bigger incentive for local governments to use every opportunity to help other people who might not need as much help but have more consistent voting habits
That is one of many ways to address these issues. The underlying problem that needs to be resolved is that the average security posture of most companies is bad and we (US citizens and anyone else vested in the economic well being of the US) need to do better.

Sadly, incentivizing people and organizations isn't always good enough--technical hiring is difficult for most orgs to begin with, the market for technical security specialists is smaller than that of software engineers, and good security is an ongoing business function.

Fixing this at a systemic level will take a broad variety of initiatives: some governmental, some driven by insurance/liability frameworks, and initiatives (government, industry, or social) to encourage more people to get into security.
you may be of the opinion that they should but I hope that you are aware that they don't and there are very few words that ever have.
You can use causation to make a decision… and you can use correlation to make a decision. Each with different implications of course - but depending on the context both can be used to do the same task.
> I get that Grubhub, DoorDash, and other industry players have created value

In my opinion at least I think the premises of this is a bit questionable. A multi-billion dollar company employing an army of delivery contractors, just to satisfy the whims of some guy who really wants a burrito but doesn't want to get off his couch, all whilst burning VC and now stock investor money. I think its fair to argue that while streamlining the delivery process is definitely a positive, we could do without the large number of software programmers and contractors and capital, all of which could be employed somewhere else in the economy, which might in fact lead to more value creation.
The problem, of course, is when you've worked on the assumption that it will do the job (hey, it was perfectly plausible!) and after a six months' work you run into a showstopper like this.

Sometimes you can make the dependency graph look nicer, but make your code less readable. Compare the example with the "isPremium" flag, and the example with callbacks. I've seen many times when a nice readable code becomes a garbled mess after a refactoring to make it more architecturally sound. What's more important?
Infracost (YC W21) Is Hiring a Senior Software Engineer
I wouldn't. I said that as a point the ansible is bad. It is procedural and hard to follow. Bash and python don't have any host management features (I.e. inventories) so you'd have implement that yourself, which won't be easy.

I suggest looking into the alternative, such as chef, puppet, saltstack etc. They allow for declarative configurations and make it a lot easier to make your configurations idempotent. On top of that, do the infrastructure itself (aws, gcp etc) in terraform (or pulumi if you want it in a programming language). Terraform has its issues, but it is certainly a lot better at managing infrastructure than ansible.
1. Did the US ask the Afghan people if they wanted a secular democracy before it invaded and decided to try to create one?

2. The Afghan army was basically not designed to function independently on its own. For example, it relied heavily on US air power. Take away the US military assets and it's no surprise that an "army" that was really nothing more than a support apparatus for the US military fell apart.
True, but not a huge real world issue in nearly all the relevant cases.

I can very easily have a fallible, asynchronous, multi-value, stateful, database connected computation that returns a Bool and use it in let’s say ‘filterM’.

Most transformers are already written for me.

Edit: switching between no effect and some effect is the tricky part though.
not sure if it still works this way, but the restaurant devices for some delivery apps would auto-confirm orders after a timeout if they were ignored. i think the expectation was that if the staff wasn’t trained or wasn’t paying attention the worst that would happen is a driver would show up and talk to the staff which would prompt them to make the order. if the order ended up super late, the customer was expected to blame the restaurant and leave a bad review, or blame the delivery driver and rate them badly, and there would be no real fallout for the delivery company.

of course this was nonsense and just led to confusing situations like yours, frustrated and underpaid drivers, and spiteful behavior from restaurant employees.
>It’s true that the Afghan Army lost its will to fight. But that’s because of the growing sense of abandonment by our American partners and the disrespect and disloyalty reflected in Mr. Biden’s tone and words over the past few months.

They had 300k men and an air force after 20 years bulding up their nation and training their forces.

They didn't lose the will to fight because of us. Most of them never had it because the people who they were being asked to fight were their uncles, cousins, and brothers and they had little loyalty to their fledgling state. This is utterly unworthy of the new York times and sufficient reason to cancel my subscription.

I usually ask this question multiple ways with different wording as I go through an interview panel. They're generally along the lines of:

1. What does your roadmap look like? Do you have a roadmap?

2. How reliable is the team about hitting deadlines? Why or why not?

3. Who handles incident response? How frequently does this responsibility rotate?

4. For a given week, how much work is planned vs interrupt driven (e.g. someone needs something by the end of this week and we only learned about it days prior).

5. How much firefighting does this team do? Is this driven by the team's own work or issues in other parts of the organization?

Your mileage may vary, there are a lot of ways to get a sense of how a team/org works and what may be important to me may or may not be as important for you. Cheers!
Yes. People have laughed but my vineyard in Sitka, Alaska will soon be producing world-class Cabs.
> You underlevel people because you have to have a high bar.

If one of your major complaints about work is that some other employees only make $300k while some arbitrary table made by the company says they should be making $400k-$500k, then perhaps you're in a pretty good position overall?

In other words - it's a huge organization, of course it's not far from perfect. But, pretty much nothing in life is.
Ah high percentage of people living homeless in Los Angeles, (in the region of 60% if I remember from the survey) have at least one job. They get paid money, just not enough money to rent somewhere. There is no "lifestyle" to choose.
Did you have something to add? Suggesting something is “laughable” is just an appeal to incredulity if you don’t say why.
Not going to argue 1., I'm 100% against the war and I bet you are right, most Afghans actually want Islamic rule or don't care either way. I hope they enjoy their unenlightened society.

2. Again, if you totally outnumber your opponent and still lose, that means you just don't care. Patriots would fight against the odds.
Hey thanks! Can definitely empathize with the imposter syndrome, it's a tough hurdle to clear.

For the templating system I decided to also add an option to define your own if you don't like the [] syntax (https://prpl.dev/api#options). Figured since the system is regex-based instead of AST-based there's no reason not to expose it as an option to users.

For the metadata I implemented a basic parser. Here's a link to that part of the source code, it's not the most efficient nor does it cover all the edge cases, but it's simple enough it can be easily updated (https://github.com/tyhopp/prpl/blob/master/packages/core/src...).

Good luck and hope I can see your system on HN someday too

My first experience with Ruby was writing rspec tests and chef recipes, and I can't say I was very happy when I had to debug that code. It's given me a deep aversion towards any Ruby DSL that still persist. I will work with Ruby if I have to, but I am not happy about it.

The way Ruby does metaprogramming makes debugging extremely frustrating because your stacktraces will contain references to methods that exist nowhere. Good luck then trying to find where they're defined so you can understand how they work.

I have a very strong opinion that generating methods at runtime is a terrible feature that should be used only when nothing else can be done.
Great Linux support on the laptops thanks to Red Hat collaboration? I work for Red Hat and the t490s and t14s have had their fair share of compatibility issues. When released the t14s was freezing daily for many colleagues. The thunderbolt dock support is abysmal, our IT support is overwhelmed with request and random issues. My docking (hosting HDMI, one usb switch with mouse, keyboard, webcam and headset) has always worked perfectly on my t480s but acts up on the t14s up to the point IT told me they ran out of idea and just suggest an exchange.

I agree when the laptop gets to the second hand market, rough edges have been smoothened and Linux support is above competition. On release day? It's not perfect.
Sorry for the late response. I don't check this account every day. It isn't my main TV it is a TCL 49S405. It wasn't any form factor I recognize. I looked up the replacement part and found an image.

It was super trivial to remove. There is actually a removable panel on the back of the TV that lets you access it. Once I saw the antenna connector I knew what it was.
I’d suggest smaller intervals, like a cent instead of a semitone, but the numbers are so absurdly large that dividing it by a hundred doesn’t really help anything. You’d need a good deal more than 64-bit floating point numbers for any pertinent calculations, 10³⁰⁸ is pretty tiny; and the theoretical string tensions involved would be quite something.

Perhaps an organ is the right answer instead, with one key per pipe rather than the usual multiplexing. The Wanamaker Organ makes a good start with 28,750 pipes across 484 ranks (though it multiplexes them across a paltry six manuals plus pedalboard), but you’re going to need to come up with a lot more sounds, and the speed of sound is low enough that it’s not going to work very well done acoustically. (Hmm… y’know, there’s actual scope for an art piece here, an organ but producing light instead of sound, like lidar is to sonar. I think you’d struggle to produce anything the human eye would appreciate, but it’s a fun concept.) Or perhaps it should be splitting each manual into one for each combination of sounds it controls. That might well go over the 2²⁴, I’m not thinking about the numbers too exactly.
So they don't run the city, but they are highly influential stakeholders.
Brilliant dig. I got mine yesterday, after being forced off of my OnePlus 5t by ATT, and realizing most other manufacturers phones are now shiny plastic-cased edge-to-edge-screened crap without one of the most versatile interfaces ever invented.

Don't forget "climate change", which people with "luxury beliefs" believe can just go away if we move all manufacturing to China and make it completely infeasible to do any on-shore manufacturing.

Instead it gets worse, since they won't be subject to any restrictions until IIRC 2030, and you have to burn oil to get stuff from there to here.
