It’s all well and good until you get enough clout that a bad actor offers you a very large cheque to rig the game.
Author of the article and project here...

SeaweedFS and this project have different purposes. This project is intended to show off how to configure NGINX to act as a S3 proxying gateway by using [njs](https://nginx.org/en/docs/njs/). If you look at the github for it, you will see it is just a collection of nginx config and javascript files. This all works will standard open source NGINX. All it does is proxy files like a L7 load balancer, but in this case, it adds AWS v2/v4 headers to the upstream requests.

As for caching, that is totally configurable to whatever you want; the example configuration is set to 1 hour but that is arbitrary. In fact, one of the interesting this is all of the additional functionality that can be enabled because the proxying is being done by NGINX.

Regarding read and write, that can be enabled for AWSv2 signatures, but it is more difficult to do in AWSv4 signatures. I have an idea about how to accomplish it with v4 signatures, but it will take some time to prototype it.

What is "asynchronous write back"?
TSMC is Taiwanese, China will takeover Taiwan in the next 5-10 years, and Intel's manufacturing processes are ancient. The future when US/EU can't produce our own chips is rapidly approaching.

Write the pages you are scraping to a cache. The simplest way would be to write them each to folder. Check if the page you are going to scrape is cached before trying to request it from the server.
And yet... if you asked the unvaccinated which they prefer (between being forced to be vaccinated and going to the back of the queue when beds run out), they will probably prefer the latter. It is disturbing to do things against people's will "for their own good"
I was actually successfully in reversing a $500 AWS bill. I had needed an Active Directory domain controller so I found one in the AWS marketplace and deployed it to an EC2 instance. Well guess what, the DC must have had some malicious start up scripts in it because it proceeded to download a few TBs of data from outside to the AWS EC2 instance which equaled nearly $500. I complained and AWS immediately reversed it without any need to escalate. This was on a personal AWS account so no relation to any large organization. Morale of the story, dont trust AWS marketplace images from sketchy sources.
This is a good example of why understanding the principles of statistics can come in handy.
I guess, the government is friends with Apple. The corruption in the US is beyond imagination, just on a totally different level than anywhere else in the world! When iPhone was a monopoly, it was fine. When Facebook is a monopoly, it's fine. When Google is a monopoly, it's fine, but when it comes to more traditional businesses - no, it's not fine as chips can't be used as political tools unlike Apple's, Google's, and Facebook's platforms!
While this is true (GPUs have embedded video ASICs), are there software GPU decoders for video codecs that outperform CPU decoders (and do not use the hardcoded GPU ASICs)? This would allow newer codecs to become mainstream more quickly vs the inertia of needing to buy a new GPU.

You need commanders for war.

Weaker humans usually sit through decimation until the guards come for them. Then they squeal for help. It is also rational. Consider that if you stand agaisnt the stronger enemy, the enemy might come back later with reinforcements and kill you.

Edit: I remembered what the Bible says happened to jews. The egyptians killed the jew children to keep the population in check, before exodus. And shortly after Jesus was born, Herod probably did the same.

You could definitely adjust with low latency, but if your compressor attack and release are too quick, it will not sound right.

You want to keep some dynamic range but not too much.
If we had enough ICU beds there would still be an argument because it will cause a bunch of people to die. If you don't care about that then that's your problem, but personally I'd like those old people to stick around for a bit longer, and keep in mind that one day you too will be old.

The arguments for vaccination go a lot further than just a lack of ICU beds.
If we were a serious society, then the conversation would be about:

immune vs non-immune

high risk vs low risk

infectious vs non-infectious

But no, it's jabbed vs unjabbed. It doesn't make sense. Everyone in Germany who wants the vaccine has had it, and if you've had Covid, you're about as protected as the vaccinated. Furthermore, leaky vaccines don't prevent transmission, can't eliminate the virus (animal reservoirs) and may even make it more virulent. See Marek's disease: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15757475/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/leaky-vac...

This is not a rational, science-based policy. This is about punishing the non-compliant, mostly the under class. As the upper class continues with their events surrounded by masked servants, with endless examples of officials breaking their own rules. Worse, we are normalizing the dehumanization of a group of people who we're told are diseased and dangerous and it's all their fault. Germany of all places should be absolutely allergic to such rhetoric.
Intel and AMD already have a monopoly on x86-x64, and both make GPUs and CPUs. Nvidia only makes GPUs.
Would there be a way to make a Proof of Infra algorithm using zk proofs?

e.g. to prove that some blockchain nodes ran a set of data through a particular infra setup (e.g. a bunch of language arbitrary Lambdas, SQS queues etc. defined in cloudformation or terraform).
> If Germany's constitution allows vaccine mandates, then your insistence that it protects all human's rights will be of little comfort to the people who are forced to take the vaccination without their consent and in violation of their conscience.

There is no rational reason not be be vaccinated. Anyone who refuses deliberately chooses to endanger themselves and everyone around them, and ultimately the majority is paying the price for the reckless behaviour of a minority in more than one way.

Mandatory vaccinations are an instrument that has been used effectively and repeatedly throughout history. It has also held up in courts including in the US where SCOTUS has argued that individual liberty is not absolute and finds its limits where its exercise can harm the health and safety of others.
I'm going to stand in front of you and not let you into your home until you give me $100.

At this point React is mostly a jobs program. Whatever useful abstractions it initially provided has been eclipsed by bloat.

> Vaccinated people spread the virus less

I recently learned that viral loads is actually the same between vaccinated and unvaccinated people who test positive for COVID19. That's not technically the same thing as the rate of spread, but it is really first and foremost the severity of the disease that the vaccines help with.

(Agree with everything else.)
But it is. All laws are "enforced" in some way, just because sometimes it's not physical force doesn't change that. As soon as there are artificially created "consequences" and penalties, you are forced.
> No democratic country is built to handle something like a pandemic. That much became clear the last two years.

Much of the measures have been justified by saying they're temporary in place under the emergency. Two years of temporary measures, and now people are saying they need to be permanent.

Good that they remember their tasks of enforcing antitrust rules when it comes to mergers.

When will they remember them in cases of disruptive growth like Google and Amazon and do AT&T?
> That chain of logic is simply the streetlight effect [1] writ large

Consider that as a coder/IT person, computers are just about the only lever I have at my disposal that has any chance of working. My voice gets lost in the noise floor of a democratic election, politics is dirty and more likely to turn you into a corrupt politician than into a corruption-resistant sane voice, and volunteering only has a limited impact.

If I got gold by sheer blind luck of trying to solve problems with coding, then at least I had a ticket for that lottery.

The plural of anecdote is not data. I am sorry for your negative reaction, but in aggregate the vaccines are much better than catching covid. "This whole thing is not working" because of the 30% odd who prefer not to do their part and walk around as potential virus factories.

Traditional vaccines have been proven to be very safe, mRNA vaccines are entirely different technology that has been in development for over 40 years and not deployed - widely or otherwise - until now. If mRNA vaccines make so much sense than why have none been brought through clinical trials before this "crises"? If it's so safe then why is the approved vaccine nowhere to be found, but all vaccine being pushed still the vax that is only under the EUA? Why did the FDA violate their own protocol and not revoke the EUA as soon as the approved vaccine was approved?

As for misinformation, sickness and death - have you looked at the dramatic spike in reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)?

Since you are so keen on stamping out misinformation - do you think people who already had COVID should still be forced to be vaccinated? If so, under what rational?

Since you want to talk sickness, who's going to apologize to this mom for advocating a perfectly healthy 14 year old get the vaccine when the possibilities of him having a major reaction to COVID are infinitesimal - yet now he will likely face heart problems for the next decade if not the rest of his life: https://imgur.com/a/NeonlLV

Who's going to apologize to all the families for family members killed by secondary effects to the sustained overreaction to COVID in the face of much better information? Sweden would like to enter the chat.

Just curious since you are basically insulting *I'm* causing sickness and death, since it's becoming more and more apparent vax apologists such as yourself are the real ones causing more problems than you are solving.
The optimal outcome preserving both health and bodily autonomy is an asymptomatic highly contagious variant. That is essentially a communicable vaccine.
Then you're already in deep $#!+.
Take note that the FTC has not actually done anything, they have only initiated a lawsuit. A court may disagree with the FTC's assessment and permit the merger. The government loses antitrust suits. But antitrust suits are long and expensive, so a challenge like this may cause Nvidia and Arm to back off.

Your intuition is right in that vertical mergers are viewed less suspiciously than mergers between competitors. But courts still assess the impact to competition in vertical mergers. As you did, assume the worst case: if Arm is really crucial to Nvidia's competitors, and the merged firm keeps Arm's designs to themselves, competition in chip-supply is harmed. Yes, Nvidia was savvy etc. and is just doing what another actor could do, but compare this method of Nvidia beating their competitors versus the "ideal" way where Nvidia makes a better product, does it cheaper, and is generally more efficient. That's what antitrust law wants. It wants the merits of the product and the org to decide the winner in a market, not things like buying Arm and keeping them to yourself.

I did this twice with one company, AthenaHealth in Watertown MA.

I spent hours on the challenge. They never even bothered to call or email and tell me "Nope." After that... well, f*** them.
It's a factor, but not the whole story. A lot of people are immunocompromised and for them just getting infected immediately raises the risks to unacceptable levels. We all owe the weaker people in our societies (from a health perspective) to take care of them, and if that requires us to get vaccinated to create a cordon of safety then so be it.

That there are a bunch of egoists that would rather have us all fend for ourselves doesn't change that, and usually those are exactly the people demanding we take on their burdens when the situation is reversed. It's called a social contract for a reason: taxes, vaccination against communicable diseases where possible, compulsory education and so on, it's the flipside of the coin, you get a lot of rights, but you also have some (sometimes moral) obligations.
It's arbitrary.

I'm in the same boat, except I had Covid in the spring. Got my second shot a month ago.

I didn't think I would get a large benefit from the vax, since I had covid, but did it mainly because of pressure (family, employment, government). But I think I draw the line here; I'm not going to take any boosters. Getting horribly sick for several days, running a high fever... that can damage you. It's not as bad as Covid, but my threat from Covid is also greatly diminished already.

Hansen's research into developer cultures is super interesting.

Here is a story of his time at Apple I can identify with:

It’s like being a cast member at Disneyland, right? If you actually see the back lot of Disneyland, the magic is pulled away, right? It’s not the same, right? You don’t always want to know how the sausage is made. Being smack in the middle like OS 9 at a time when the winds were clearly shifting in OS X’s direction, it was like, the politics of the higher ups, it was definitely being felt.

I was looking on the file system team and three months in, they said, “Okay, well, we’re not doing any new features in the file system. We’re going to reassign you to help them work on the multiprocessing API’s with this other guy”

I was doing some unit testing for that for like a couple of months.

Then, it was announced, “Oh, we’re not doing any new features for that either.” Okay, so then now what I’m going to do?

Then, my boss assigned me to write this app showing these two bars for the dual processors. That didn’t go anywhere. He kept telling me, “No. Keep working on it. This is not busy work. This is not busy work.”

It turned out to be busy work.

Ask HN: What's so bad about Instagram?
I feel like I hate IG for personal reasons and reasons that have been discussed ad nauseam. But as an artist I feel like it's the only place to share work with professional peers. That said I very intentionally shifted to a dev career to not be financially dependent on my art, platforms like IG, broken arts institutions, toxic art communities etc. In any case considering fully getting off IG at long last but wanted to solicit some general wisdom from my favorite dev community. Thanks in advance :^p
Actually it shows changes after the administration of the vaccine. There is no control group so they can’t distinguish between effects from the vaccine and from other external influences.
Your logic does not work. If people in a developed country would simply become vaccinated and boosted, then only the vaccinated or not condition would typically apply in mainstream society--and not the 3 other above conditions.

While all 4 are discriminatory, the first 3 are not inherently due to personal choices or preferences. People choose not to get vaccinated harming society as a whole--and make the other 3 above conditions come into play.

Ma Bell made some great innovations here and started a lot of the computers tech, after it was destroyed the baby bells combined again, Cingular has exclusive rights to iPhone at a time.

Nvidia is reasltically already a monopoly with CUDA. They don’t need to innovate and they force universities to use their more expensive GPUs.
Plastic is necessary? I think civilization survived just fine for millennia without plastic, actually.

Plastic may be beneficial for applications like medicine or non-disposable applications like buildings and machinery, and nobody's arguing against that. But to wave away all single-use plastics like sauce packets and drink bottles as necessary is IMHO ignoring very recent (like, just 50 years ago!) history. We can have a bigger imagination than that!

Saying plastics are fine, as long as people don't litter, is wishful thinking. People are lazy and they will litter, and even if they don't, people are cheap and irresponsible dumpers will dump trash anywhere to save a buck. Wishful thinking and moral prescriptivism aren't solutions to problems of human behavior. Taxing single-use plastics to oblivion is.
An improvement for sure if they'll require upstreaming drivers (as in making them FOSS), because Android is causing a rift as long as drivers have blobs due to bionic vs glibc.

Sir, you wound me deeply... yet you speak truth.

When I was younger, I'd write code and print it out to share with friends and family with the most disappointing looks returned. Honestly, I have no idea why and how I have persisted in this field for so long given how isolating it can be.

Even now, I am writing my own programming language (for board games), and I've run into the sales/marketing problem head-on.
Fair comment. Fox News certainly does not need any more attention.
Probably they made an assumption after the definition of "vaccine" was changed on there earlier this year.

One issue is what gets shut down when you hit the max? If you have an EC2 instance running and you hit the max, do they shut it off? Would customers understand that and be ok with it? What if you have an S3 bucket? Should they just delete the data? That's probably not what you want.

You can basically do max bill now -- you can set up a cloud watch alarm for billing and when it reaches a certain price, run a script. Your script could just shut everything down and delete everything, or do whatever is appropriate for your account. That's their solution to this.

Also they don't have instant feedback on usage -> cost. They batch process it. So if you get a huge spike in usage, AWS may not even know that for a while. They could in theory be willing to eat the cost of usage between it happening and their processing, but are probably unwilling.

>Conversely you now seem focused on getting into an argument about simulations

I gave a definition of reality, and definitions can't really be debated; thus, I don't see them as encouraging argument.

>I gave an example of what I meant that doesn't involve simulations and is purely physical

I'm uncertain what that was. Do you mean your "thing-ier example"? That compares simulated melting with actual melting?
You're kidding but I've seen migrations from data centers to aws (despite committing to much larger expenses) and from aws to data centers (mainly to save money).

In practical terms, the hassle of managing the hardware is far greater than having to manage software, especially now that everyone is on the container boat. Not that it was necessarily different for people on bsd + jails in the past, but that wasn't widespread.

I think dedicated server are a sweet spot of complexity / cost.
