Disclaimer: I'm Co-Founder and CEO of an a16z backed company named http://vantage.sh/ -- Before this I used to work at both AWS and DigitalOcean so know this world well.

If you're up for it, you can connect your AWS account to Vantage. We automatically profile all of your AWS costs and provide cost recommendations for you based off of your account's actual usage. If you'd like, I can also personally hop on a call with you to walk through your AWS costs which you can book with me here: https://calendly.com/ben-vantage/30min

Depending on your level of AWS spend, we have a free tier that gives you up to $2,500 per month of costs tracked for free as well.

Lastly, we have a free website we host named the Cloud Cost Handbook which covers general concepts and best practices as it relates to cloud costs which may be helpful: https://handbook.vantage.sh/
What happens when you have a ps5, xbox and/or switch attached to the same tv? is it seamless? Does it just switch on whatever remote you are using? what about first time setup?

It would also be nice to have some sense of what the underlying algorithms are.
No one chooses to be addicted.
We can certainly invest in kids, but there has to be an expectation that they put in the effort as well and the idea that just because they put in the effort does not mean they will be as successful as another doing something similar. We have to instill the idea that they have a general responsibility to themselves, their family, and their community. We used to have a semblance of this but over the last 80+ this really seems to have gone out the window.
Additionally, they are putting out some really impressive EV designs and plans. I think Ford has an even stronger future.
A lot of that is due to absolutely lousy code.

We had a system management backend at my last company. Loading the users list was unbearably slow; 10+ seconds on a warm cache. Not too terrible, except that most user management tasks required a page reload, so it was just wildly infuriating.

Eventually I took a look at the code for the page, which queried LDAP for user data and the database for permissions data. It did:

get list of users

foreach user:
get list of all permissions
filter down to the ones assigned directly to the user

foreach user:
get list of all groups
foreach group:
get list of all permissions
filter down to the ones assigned to the group
filter down to the ones the user has

I'm no algorithm genius, but I'm pretty sure O(n^2+n^3) is not an efficient one.

I replaced it with

get list of all users
get list of all groups
get list of all permissions

<filter accordingly>

Suffice to say, it was a lot more responsive.

Also worth noting was that fetching the user list required shelling out to a command (a python script) which shelled out to a command (ldapsearch), and the whole system was a nightmare. There were also dozens of pages where almost no processing was done in the view, but a bunch of objects with lazy-loaded properties were passed into the template and always used, so when benchmarking you'd get 0.01 seconds for the entire function and then 233 seconds for "return render(...)' because for every single row in the database (dozens or hundreds) the template would access a property that would trigger another SQL call to the backend, rather than just doing one giant "SELECT ALL THE THINGS" and hammering it out that way.

Note that we also weren't using Django's foreign keys support, so we couldn't even tell Django to "fetch everything non-lazily" because it had no idea.

If that app were written right it could have run on a Raspberry Pi 2, but instead there was no amount of cores that could have sped it up.

I don't particularly agree with the parent comment, but you are being oddly aggressive over something that is a real problem - communicating things is hard and it's a useful topic to consider in a world that increasingly runs on text-based communication.

Oh dear, sorry I wasn't clear here.

Having read and enjoyed the linked article, I noted that roughly the second half of Chomsky's argument is that the inquiry into race and IQ is fundamentally just boring -- "of quite limited scientific interest". He's saying "sure, you could be right, but who cares?"

This contrasts with the reactions in the article of scorn such as comparing researchers to "Holocaust deniers".

It struck me that of the two; Chomsky's reaction is the more devastating.
Wrong bolts. That matters.

In the private sector in the US, there's The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, established in 1866.
They were the first company to insure steam boilers, and they still do. They inspect them before insuring them, and re-inspect at random times thereafter.

They've been trying to expand this approach into "cyber insurance", but with limited success. They will insure the cooling and power systems for your data center, though. They know how to inspect those.
Filesystem allocation patterns are relevant, one of the components of seek time is how far the heads have to seek. If most of the data is towards the front of the drive and your swap partition is towards the front of the drive, then the head will need to move less to get to the swap partition. If the data is towards the front and the partiton is near the end, then you would need to wait longer for the head to move, generally.
We'll see. Just because people talk about products and they haven't come to light yet doesn't mean they won't. In fact, its probably more likely that people are just a bit wrong on the timing and not wrong altogether. If there has been talk of cars and tvs for so long, chances are they will make their way out the door at some point. Same went for the phone, ipad, etc.
This is not a "completely ridiculous scheme". This is a loophole in the constitution that Texas is employing.

IANAL, but this is how I understand it. The supreme court does not strike down laws in a preliminary injunction, it just prevents the attorney-general or other applicable officials from enforcing it. This law is written so that the attorney general has no part in enforcing the law, so the supreme court can't do a preliminary injunction. It can only strike down the law once somebody tries to use the law and it bubbles its way up the court system.

But of course if everybody is too afraid to break the law, the law has effect without ever being applied.

The best suggestion I heard on how to get rid of it would be to have Massachusetts ban handguns using the same loophole. Somehow I think that this stacked court will come to its senses when it is the 2nd amendment being threatened rather than the 14th.

How many even middle class Americans have a fidelity account? Do you think the average El Salvadoran sending remittance AND their counterpart are banked with low cost access to international wire transfer?

Transferring crypto, without KYC (which is a real concern for persons from central america who may not have documentation for a bank account or legal status in the US), for $~3 in transfer fees plus whatever rate they can get face-to-face (which could be near 0% exchange fee) is damn good. I doubt most of these marginalized workers in the US (not all El Salvadorans, I'm sure there are plenty of rich ones with Fidelity accounts who haven't been the utilitarian use case for crypto transfer) could do better without packing up a bundle of cash and travelling to El Salvador on a plane.
Thank YOU. I hope you don't expect it to be nothing but computer history! There are characters in there who don't spend every waking minute thinking about work.
may be OT, but how do you subscribe to these trade feeds, is there a unified service or do you need to do it individually for each source, and how much does it cost approximately ?

I'm guessing if you put all this data into Kinesis or message queues it would end up costing quite a bit more.
I put my swap on a nice NVME drive and...

None of this seems plausible t me. Why should physical attributes matter less, and how much less exactly cross this supposed threshold between freely acknowledged and taboo on par with holocaust denial? Clearly the general idea of a "luck" element of advantage is not a problem in the slightest.

And furthermore, looking into extremes, it's also perfectly clear that people are not actually against the idea that there is "unchangeable bad luck". A person with a severe genetic based mental disability (let's say downs syndrome) is clearly extremely unlikely to ever create much value or be paid much money and nobody has a problem with that (again I'm talking purely economically, not their value as a person or the love and happiness they bring to others).

> I coded exclusively in Rust

This reminds me of back in 2003, a friend of mine worked for an online casino vendor; basically, if you wanted to run an online casino, you'd buy the software from a company and customize it to fit your theme.

They were often written in Java, ASP.NET, and so on. They were extremely heavyweight. They'd need 8-10 servers for 10k users. They hogged huge amounts of RAM.

My friend wrote the one this company was selling in C. Not even C++, mind you, just C. The game modules were chosen at compile time, so unwanted games didn't exist. The entire binary (as in, 100% of the code) compiled to just over 3 MB when stripped. He could handle 10k concurrent users on one single-core server.

I'm never gonna stop writing things in Python, but it still amazes me what can happen when you get down close to the metal.

> CDs and DVDs are always read at the same speed, no matter where the laser / read head is.

This is only true for "slow" drives, CD drives faster than 12x typically use CAV and DVD drives >= 8x use CAV or Z-CLV (sometimes P-CAV).

> It would be like Apple trying to compete against NEC, Fujitsu, and IBM with a commercial mainframe project. They could surely get a product out. But why? And then what?

I think it's quite different. The car market is huge, and it's also a consumer market. Apple would struggle to make headway with enterprises, but they're good at consumer markets.

A lot of people would have said the same at the prospect of Apple competing with Nokia, RIM, etc in the phone world. And then they came out with a product that completely blew everyone away. A car is harder for sure, but they have the money and they also have the time so I don't really see why not.
I think there are two challenges here:

1) Safety systems work so well that people get complacent. "Approval of the fasteners is required, so I'm not going to get out a flashlight and mirror and double check."

2) At one point, many failure modes were totally unknown. Someone discovers them for the first time. You can have a comprehensive safety program that's well funded and always performed correctly, but if there is a failure mode that nobody knows about, it's as likely to happen to you as it is to someone else.

And hey, at least people give safety lip service. Nobody ever posts signs that says "cost cutting is our #1 priority", they always say that safety is their #1 priority. Their heart's in the right place at the very least ;)

How Slack changed Apple’s employee culture, with Zoë Schiffer
The most influential essay I've ever read on hiring was titled I Don't Hire Unlucky People[1]. At the time, I was struggling to build a mobile dev team, and I could always find reasons to not hire anyone in the pipeline. However, there came a point where I had to apply the secretary problem [2] to my situation and realize it was costing me more to not have these positions filled. To that end, my only hard requirement became whether I left the interview with them feeling like this was someone I could manage and grow.

The irony is that once I embraced this, I ended up with a pretty diverse team almost as a side effect. It made me realize that most "unspoken disqualifications" are usually anti-diversity in practice, though I don't think that's done consciously.

My recent submission of HNBadges was made like this. It's just 3 files (html, css, JS) which I hosted for free on Netlify, but could have been hosted on a setup like OP. I used other services for XHR requests. I imagine it got a tonne of traffic from being on the first page, but I wasn't taking metrics.

Another example of clever use of resources is the https://haveibeenpwned.com/ website. Using a bloom filter (I think) to turn what could have been a back-end lookup into a "front end lookup" by requesting a small file from the server based on the password hash.

The only issue I have with the OP is his assumption that you'd get a nice smooth 60 request/second throughout the day! Most likely will be lumpy, and in the top of the lumpy periods (where most of your visitors visit) performance will be bad.
Serious question, what is "important" in the meetings? Do you think you are missing out by not paying attention, either because you're missing info you need to do your job, the opportunity to voice your view or understand other people's views, or some other thing?

If the answer is no, I'd advocate paying minimal attention in case you're needed or need something, and trying to be productive on something else. If the answer is yes, then some other attention strategy is needed.

I've seen people skip meetings entirely and then complain when decisions are made without them. I've also been to lots of meetings where there was near zero point in being there, but if I hadn't then I might have missed some small important thing. Especially for larger meetings, it's completely realistic imo to mostly have it as background noise but be there so you're in the loop. Incidentally, I did that a lot with university lectures too.

This may not be the right strategy for everyone, but neither is trying to absorb information from a meeting when your mind doesn't work that way.
I think it's because of the space saving. We park our cars in front of the garage, and wouldn't have enough space on our driveway to allow for the door to swing out and not hit a car parked there. Also most garage doors aren't see-through, so you may not know if a car is parked there at all, leading to a high number of fender dings.

> Interesting, so JWT proxy (or any other auth mechanism that is viable over HTTPS) -> ghostunnel machine w/ public VIP -> Target machine ? Or ghostunnel directly running on the Target machine which holds the public VIP? Or does the JWT proxy take the public IP and the ghostunnel machine keep the private VIP?

jwt proxy takes in the iap jwt, they give you the audience and it's just parsed, this lives in the same pod as ghostunnel. ghostunnel goes through a NAT to a public dest, where ghostunnel is _also_ running. it has extremely strict TLS requirements (Forced valid CN to be sent/accepted, strict DNS, along with a single purpose CA, cert, and key).

It's like

IAP =inside-gcp=> (JWT proxy -> ghostunnel) =public=> (ghostunnel -> thing)

There's a more modern way to do this, but this works really well and gives absolutely fantastic introspection, is super easy to use it as a public proxy, and allows you to only use minimal APIs in GCP (IAP + GKE, you don't need GKE but you also don't wanna manage all the things it does for you with annotations. :D)
I prefer working with, and hiring, the sort of people that FAANGs would never look at: diverse and weird education or experience be backgrounds, grossly unrelated hobbies, and pressing personal responsibilities like a band, family, or sport.

Some of the best programmers I've worked with were ex high school teachers, military, set designers, nurses and such.

> Let's clarify. You're sorry that I find your insults offensive?

> You basically said "the American units of measure are unprofessional and I can't take anyone seriously when they use them" and you wonder why that might be offensive?

> Are you reading it for laughs then? I don't understand.

I tried to make it clear that I was describing my own experiences and biases, and I admitted that the units (when taken alone, by themselves) are arbitrary, and so it's irrational to harbor this subconscious, yet you still seem fully set on being offended rather than taking my descriptions at face value.

I think in the future your conversations could go better if you put less effort into deconstructing people's ulterior motives.

> It's ok to not like the Imperial system, most Americans hate it too. And we're stuck with it until momentum can built to change that fact. But what you're exhibiting is elitism and snobbery.

> If you ask the vast majority of Americans how many centimeters are in a foot, you'll get blank stares. If you ask them how long 30 centimeters are you'll get blank stares. If you ask them how long a foot is they'll hold up their hands about a foot apart.

> Americans use imperial units because it's what they used daily, what they're familiar with, and what they know. It's really not that hard to understand.

Something I’ve wanted for a while in my other browsers, I’d love a “no distraction” mode that ran a simple topic classifier on the last few pages I’ve been looking at, and then greyed out links to pages that were obviously nowhere near that topic. Thinking specifically of the “links from across stack exchange list on the right sidebar of SO” that often draw me into reading about eg DND, Wikipedia rabbitholes, or any page component that tries to get you to lose your train of thought and get lost on that site.

Also, the ability to grey out links to domains I’ve decided I never want to visit.

A small (512 MB) swap partition gives you enough runway to warn on 25% use, alert on 50% use, and address some problems without the fun of abrupt shutdowns when allocations fail (or the OOM killer shows up). Monitoring for high swap I/O makes some sense, but 512 MB fills up fast, so chances are it'll fill up before anyone can respond to an alert in that case.

At least in my experience, it's pretty hard to actually gauge memory use, but swap use makes a reasonable gauge most of the time. There are certainly many use cases where the swap use ends up not being a useful gauge though.
