I'm building an open-core data IDE that runs as a desktop application or server. Since it's open source, all tests run on Github Actions for free. This includes basic e2e testing using Selenium on Windows, macOS, and Linux (e.g. [0]); and unit/integration tests.

If it were a private repo I'd still shell out for Github Actions or Circle CI most likely. I'd also consider buying a chunky-enough minipc for ~$500 and an older mac mini and set up runners on them.

For the moment private runners isn't a problem. But soon I'll need to start integration-testing proprietary code paths like querying Oracle or MS SQL Server. In that case I probably need to set up a dedicated box with all the right licenses so I can run CI jobs on it.

Why Do We Squabble over the AC?
Houses are an interesting example because I think that most people value longevity over at least a few generations,

Old houses built 200 years ago in France or England are still used, maintained and highly valued.

But more recent buildings have a lifespan that is shorter than a human, and are often ugly.

I think that Architecture is the most visible beacon of civilization, and I don't like what it tells us about ours.
It's notable how often, too, folk turn to craft analogies when talking about code.

So many people in tech (including me) try to turn to craft/art as a way of 'escaping' the grind. It's often not the coding that gets people down but all the 'organisational' activity (or management or however you want to phrase that) that goes alongside.
Provisioned concurrency is insanely expensive. If you have any kind of a thundering herd access pattern then Lambda is a complete non-starter because of the warm-up and scaling characteristics. We eventually just put an nginx/openresty server on a regular medium EC2 instance and got rid of Lambda from our stack completely and now we're paying about 1/300th the cost we were previously and the performance is infinitely better.

I'm sure it has some use-cases in some kind of backoffice task queue scenario, but Lambda is nearly unusable in a web context unless you have a very trivial amount of traffic.
Quick comment on the reference to "credentials". The article does a disservice to the reader by presenting HTTP cookies without mentioning sessions and how they are used to add state to a stateless request-reply protocol.

Also, bundling TLS certificates in a topic involving CORS and HTTP cookies feels like a non-sequitur in the spirit of buzzword bingo, which ultimately only serve to further confuse the reader.
I mean, respected or not I would not say no to a free meal and USD$1M.
I like to keep it off my HN profile. I feel I am more open to share details this way.
I find it odd that the article makes no mention of Richard Cantillon or the Cantillon effect. To summarize the Cantillon effect, whenever the money supply is increased those who first receive the new supply of money can purchase goods at the pre-inflationary rate/price and therefore gain the benefit of extracting more value from the money before the rest of the economy begins to notice and thus inflate their prices to correspond to the new supply. The result of this early receivers get more wealth from later receivers of the money, it's basically economic rent.
Which "const" do you mean? The one in front of a variable declaration cannot make the array itself constant. That's because that "const" only refers to that variable itself, which is just a pointer (except for the primitive types).

The variable declaration "const" means this variable cannot be changed to point to a different object. It says nothing about the thing it points to and that is how that keyword was designed in this language. It's Javascript (ECMAscript), not Typescript.

On the other hand, using Typescript (which only adds type annotations but the actual code is ECMAscript apart from very few small things such as "enums"), you can append "as const" after an array though as type annotation, as in

const arr = [1,2,3] as const;

// Type error: "Property 'push' does not exist on type 'readonly [1, 2, 3]'"
arr.push(5);

Which is the same as Readonly<type>.

This "as const" annotation can be used for any object, not just for arrays. Of course, it can only guard against known methods of mutating an object, such as direct write access to properties and known mutating function calls for known object types such as the built-in ones (Array, Set, Map, etc., each one needs the definitions for the readonly-version of its type in the Typescript-bundled type library).

Something I discovered recently, for my tiny Go Lambda functions it is basically always worth it to run them at least with 256mb of memory even if they don't need more than 128mb. This is because most of my functions run twice as fast at 256mb than they do at 128mb. Since lambda pricing is memory_limit times execution time, you get better performance for free.

Test your lambda functions in different configurations to see if the optimal setting is different than the minimal setting.

The nuts and bolts of AirPrint are CUPS (linux printer server) plus Avahi (mDNS infrastructure, known in Apple land as Rendevous). My recollection is that to get my USB printer to AirPrint, I only needed to install the CUPS and Avahi packages, and then things magically worked. YMMV.

What in particular are you doing with it? I have the feeling my question may be a bit light on details for you to be able to formulate a great answer, but are you doing things like doing test renderings of an interpolated viewpoint given multiple integrated perspectives?

I could see how that could end up getting very computation intensive very quickly! Building up the 3-D space, tagging spots where the math doesn't quite work out... Compensating for different lighting conditions from different pictures at different angles to get just the info you're looking for!

They do.

Not that I personally believe they deserve it. For the exact same reasons I don't think a CEO is not "worth" thousands of engineers, I don't think that just because you happened to graduate in ML you are worth tens/hundred times more that the others.

Or more accurately maybe they are worth that much, but the general population is severely underpaid.

What I hate about "best practice discourse" is how it's used to shut down rational consideration of alternatives the "best practice promoter" doesn't like.

People at my org are currently attempting to forbid the use of a certain reactive framework because they claim it is incompatible with the "best practice" of MVC. In reality, reactive frameworks have been developed in part to provide a simpler, more predictable, more productive alternative to MVC.

I'll leave you with a long quote from Scott Adams that I'm always reminded of in this context:

> When you are trained in the ways of persuasion, you start seeing three types of people in the world. I’ll call them Rational People, Word-Thinkers, and Persuaders. Their qualities look like this:

> Rational People: Use data and reason to arrive at truth. (This group is mostly imaginary.)

> Word-Thinkers: Use labels, word definitions, and analogies to create the illusion of rational thinking. This group is 99% of the world.

> Persuaders: Use simplicity, repetition, emotion, habit, aspirations, visual communication, and other tools of persuasion to program other people and themselves. This group is about 1% of the population and effectively control the word-thinkers of the world.
They don't want to provide it themselves because then they have to admit that the performance is abysmal. Instead they let random blogos provide this data so they can just sit back and say "you're doing it wrong."
That's not true. There is an exit strategy for coal in germany and at least for now it's still going. Next year they will shutdown the remaining nuclear plants. That will be the moment of truth.

One thing that the outage really highlighted for me is how much small and medium size businesses rely on Facebook. That 6 hour outage costs somewhere into the billions of dollars lost for SMBs. If there was ever a time to highlight the need for a stand alone website, the great Facebook outage of 2021 is it.

It makes Lambda look like a product with a much narrower niche than what AWS wants to sell it as. For many people knowing beforehand that cold start times are > 500ms with 256MB (quite extravagant for serving a single web request) would disqualify Lambda for any customer-serving endpoint. As it stands many get tricked into that choice if they don't perform these tests themselves.
Plenty focus on theory.

The 128M case is really strange, why do Go and Rust take so much more time to start than higher-capacity machines, and even Python? Do they get run inside a wasm runtime or something, and that runtime has to go back and forth requesting memory which a native python runtime gets “for free”?

Why write code like that, instead of extending the class with a mandatory property? The above code is going to be inscrutable to a lot of engineers, and this isn't something like an ORM where there's a good reason for that.
+1. I had to aisle browse to find stuff or call the store to see if something is in stock. This has been a major upgrade in experience. The inventory count is pretty accurate too (important when looking for remodels, flooring, trims etc)

Steel and concrete have similar thermo coefficient of expansion factors, while fiberglass does not. Thus fiberglass rebar works in temperature stable environments, but if the temperature changes a lot it is prone to failure.

The above is a generalization. See a proper engineer if you are actually building something to get the correct details for your application.

Also a hobbyist sysadmin at home, but after reading a few comments on the internet, I found that the rsync -z compress flag was bottlenecked on a maxed-out CPU thread of my Raspberry Pi 4 NAS transfers.

Admittedly, these are mostly "local" drive-to-drive transfers over USB rather than server-to-server transfers over house-wide gigabit. But consider trying the transfer without compression.

I'll definitely have to read up on your other flags though, if your rsync works from just one machine rather than both that might solve a minor problem case I have where the destination machine lacks rsync...

Not sure about the others, but OCaml tends to perform in the same ballpark as Go, and a bit slower for programs that benefit from shared memory parallelism.
Same thing here, on a different cloud.

When we notice someone is using a form, we fire a no-op request to the function that will handle the data from the form so that it is less likely to be cold when the user is ready to proceed.

(We could get better results by switching to a different implementation language; but we have a body of code already working correctly aside from the extra second or two of cold start.)
You cannot resume a computation with exceptions. At most, exceptions are a subset of effects. Similarly, a lot of the issues with checked exceptions in Java come from the lack of exception polymorphism in the checked exception type system. Adding the two points, you cannot really call checked exceptions an effect system.

Doing the math based on the energy content of gasoline gives 96 kilowatt-hours for a car getting 40 miles per gallon, going up to 106 if you include the energy cost of refining a gallon of gasoline from oil.
Pretty much going to have to echo this. The increasing needless complexity in everything has driven me to no longer be interested in technology in general, and it seems that our industry is only interested in making it even worse as time goes on.

I have tried to get myself motivated to do programming projects again and it just isn't taking.

Yes, it's a one-way function. And if the builds are reproducible, this function is deterministic.

The way to verify is to redo the entire compile process. But the advantage is that anyone can do this, so you can have other users in the community validating the builds.

3. mostly agree but as you state, not relevant to new technology decided upon by someone on a whim.

4. Do you really believe creating sections of the tech stack that only a single person is able to maintain will result in you not having to pay these staff as much? Those staff who you now have a critical dependency on and they know it?
Sounds good, but has anyone done this in production anywhere, and if so, what did it cost?

Hydrogen has a habit of leaking through anything and embrittling metals, so it may not be a trivial task. According to the Dept. of Energy, converting pipelines to carry pure hydrogen will require "substantial modification."

I guess depends what at Huawei? They make phones and smartwatches, and networking hardware, and probably nasty things for CCP too.

Answers like "no never" should really follow up by not buying anything made in China (could be slave labour), hardware made in China (could be compromised) etc.

There is of course the moral hazard that Huawei becomes embroided in a worse scandal than what we've seen so far and somehow that affects you, or at least you need to explain yourself when looking for the next job.
I've been using xfce for about 10 years, and recently I've stopped customising it.

I'm not denying that people actually "support" it (in the boolean sense). I'm just saying that they don't really support it that much. From the polls I've provided last comment, it's clear that terrorism (and therefore the war) was near the top of voter priorities, whereas global warming is at the bottom of the list. Is it that surprising that congress doesn't want to address hard-to-tackle issues that people don't feel too strongly about?

Horror Story: How Software Projects Die Through Lack of Maintenance
There is some "zoning" in the UK too, it is just not so set in stone. Most councils have areas that are pre-approved for new housing, any other areas would require planning permission.

Building in a conservation area (not necessarily rural!), on a listed building or in a "greenbelt" area require special permission, which is not always easy or obvious.

I think the theory must be that people want some assurances. If somewhere is zoned for housing, I don't have to do pointless paperwork to build houses. It also keeps commercial areas away from residential which might or might not be a good idea although I suspect most residents prefer it that way.
Is this much different from the Hololens?
If you have time, try another style of coding.

CRUD and business coding can get quite tedious, especially under artificial pressure, for example to hit arbitrary management deadlines, which just fuel resentment.

Try writing a game in a new language. If you have kids, teach them to write a game, while learning yourself, eg in something simple like lua.

For me, programming 'in the small', optimizing loops for example, is much more satisfying than modeling complex or byzantine business systems with sprawling code.
Not that I ever saw. They have made many improvements. But a cold start time of 2 minutes wasn't considered an bug or issue before they fixed the VPC/Lambda interconnect.
Sure, but no section of the US large or otherwise is in London.
Isn't Debian opinionated about the freedom of the stack it stands on? Would the community be happy to build a dependency on a vendor?
They have never cared about this cold-start metric or the devs who do. The hope is that the first users have a degraded experience helps the next 1,000 users that minute have a perfect experience.

To AWS it's like complaining about the end bit of crust in an endless loaf of sliced white bread that was baked in under 2 seconds.
I would turn that around: if your builds are irreproducable, how would you troubleshoot build errors?
As far as I'm aware AWS Lambda scale various other resources with the requested memory. I assume Rust scales mostly with the assigned CPU time that increases with memory?
