I'm having issues with us-east-2 now. Console is down, then when I try to sign into a particular service I just get "please try again later".
We're seeing issues with EventBridge, other folks are having trouble reaching S3.

Freedom of speech is article 5 of the German constitution.

What you mean is that it differs from the US version.
But uutils needs to necessarily match whatever your platform happens to do, or else it breaks[1] in silly ways like this when it turns out that "." stops being a path.

[1] Maybe this is all just a semantic argument about this use of the word "broken"? This is a long-standing usage. It doesn't mean that Rust's standard library isn't useful for anything, it means that it isn't useful here because of design choices that don't match the problem at hand. If it were something that can be fixed, it would just be "buggy". But it can't (for the reasons you mention!). Therefore it's "broken", not "buggy".
Uhhhhh... what if the monitoring said it was hard down? They'd still not show red?
> 1. Every decision we make corporately as a society seems to weaken or impede family and community life. From how we build our cities to how we respond to pandemics. I have no solution other than try and buck the trend.

agreed. it seems community & family life has been trending downwards for a long time and lately its in a steep dive.

You could try VR chatting (seems like you covered the normal bases already), i dont think its dystopian if used sparingly. I know there are tons of lonely souls who use that as an outlet for expressing themselves & ideas, or feeling closer to others while watching movies/gaming.
Indeed living in Germany taught me that sometimes it's better to be alone than to be around people who make you feel alone. It's not sufficient to simply be around people, it can absolutely be actively counter-productive. Coming up against several stereotypically cold Germans who seemed barely able to even acknowledge my at least positive and non-zero value as a human being took a while to get used to...
If you click the image at the top, it will load the youtube video[1] (which is the better source in my opinion - the blog is essentially closed captioning for the video, without any of the graphics).

Europe doesn't need a new rocket, it needs to retrofit its existing rockets to be reusable (as did SpaceX), at least for the first stage. The great tragedy of the space shuttle program is that they didn't retrofit the Saturn V space for reusability

We could have had something like Starship in the early 1980s had we thought clearly about it.
I recently picked up a pair of 3rd gen airpods after my first gen died. I also have air pod pros. I didn't even leave the parking lot before I returned the 3rd gen and replaced them with new 2nd gen airpods. The fit was horrible and unlike the APP that have the flexible and size-adjustable ear tip the 3rd gen offered nothing to change fitment. I don't even find that the APP fit as well as the 2nd gen airpods.

If I were you and you find the originals to stay in your ear and the APP to not be great you definitely do not want 3rd gen airpods. I wish they would not have changed the form and fit of the airpods to be more like a "cheap" version of the pros.
Slack going down is a godsend for developer productivity.
It's great that you clarified the root-finding / minimization perspectives.

Shouldn't your update equations be written in terms of F, not f? (Alternatively, write f'(x_k) / f''(x_k).)

To minimize f, find zeros of f' = F.
To find a zero of F, construct a linear approximation using f''=F'

If you're using Newton's method to minimize a function f, you need the first- and second-order derivatives (hence the same "second-order method").

Using cli to describe instances isn't working. Instances themselves seem fine so far.
If you question is "why would people want a smaller house in a city rather than a giant house in a different city", then there are all sorts of answers:

1) Bigger cities have more and better things to do. Sports teams, theaters (both local and touring professional), concerts, bars, parks. Faster access to a major airport makes travel easier and cheaper.

2) More space isn't always better. More space means more to clean and heat. It's also an excuse to fill with more junk you don't necessarily need. If you added another room or two to my house, I have a good idea of the kinds of things I would fill them with - but my life has been fine for 5+ years without those things.

3) It's feasible to work in an expensive city while maxing out your retirement savings and go live somewhere cheaper later. It's impossible to do the opposite. It gives you choices.

4) The local populace in many of those areas can be unwelcoming if you're anything other than a white heterosexual. Even if you find a neighborhood that tolerates you, your state government is gerrymandered by people who go around vocally wishing you were dead. That turns away a lot of people. I grew up in Michigan, I still have family in Michigan, and I visit regularly enough to be quite certain I never want to move back there regardless of if its cheaper.

Probably they cannot. They outsourced this dashboard and it runs on AWS now ;).
On the nerdier side of that. More exotic features, lot less nice UI, lots of (cheap) lower-performance options and sometimes obscure product variations.

I.e. among people where I know what kind of stuff they have, anybody vaguely technical might have an Ubiquiti AP for their WiFi, whereas the people that love to tinker with networking stuff have some mikrotik device somewhere to play with.
Most of our services in us-east-1 are still responding although we cannot log into the console. However, it looks like dynamodb is timing out most requests for us.
Agreed! For public access I'd still prefer IPV4 but if it's for myself or an internal service for one of my other servers, why not IPV6
AWS Console is returning HTTP 500 errors
My ECS, EC2, Lambda, load balancer, and other services on us-east-1 still function. But these outages can sometimes propagate over time rather than instantly.

Looking at that page, I guess it's Slack with some small twists? And this seems to confirm that: https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/23/the-new-new-slack-quill/

Which may help explain why they're shutting down less than a year after launching. 10% improvements aren't enough to drive switching, especially against network-effect products like Slack. But having taken $14.5m in investment, you'd think they'd try a little harder.

Anecdotally, we're seeing a small number of 500s from S3 and SQS, but mostly our service (which is at nontrivial scale, but mostly just uses EC2, S3, DynamoDB, and some basic network facilities including load balancers) seems fine, knock on wood. Either the problem is primarily in more complex services, or it is specific to certain AZs or shards or something.
I've used ElephantSQL before. As long as you write efficient queries (especially avoiding N+1) and choose the right data centre it's usually reasonable for a small project.

Also on the same morning as Pearl Harbour, Hong Kong was also attacked by the Japanese. Allies never took it back during the war, till the Japanese surrendered in 1945.
> The universe, despite being filled with mass and energy, is roughly flat.

No, it isn't. It is spatially flat (if we choose appropriate coordinates), but the spacetime of the universe is not flat, because it is expanding.

The rest of your reasoning is wrong because it starts from this false premise.
One of the epigraphs at the beginning of Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian' is:

> “Clark, who led last year’s expedition to the Afar region of northern Ethiopia, and UC Berkeley colleague Tim D. White, also said that a re-examination of a 300,000-year-old fossil skull found in the same region earlier showed evidence of having been scalped.”

McCarthy's point is that violence is ancient, a deep part of us. But that doesn't make it good. It's a safe bet that one of the very first interactions between two organisms on earth resulted in one's annihilation; that doesn't mean we should go around killing things.
> The Japanese were also far more inspired by the attack on Taranto by a set of obsolete biplanes that basically wiped out Italian sea power in Europe.

The biplanes were not totally obsolete, they were equipped with radar which allowed them to attack at night and find their carrier again, none of the USN or IJN aircraft could do this until a lot later in the war.
You don't need a HTTP proxy, you could make use of existing 6to4 technologies. Cloud providers can probably offer those for free at reduced speed as part of their IPv6 package. There are also public 6to4 routers available today, ur I wouldn't trust my company's data to flow through those.
That's great! (but it removes the projections!?)
None of those are available on "modern" TVs or set top boxes. YouTube is _everywhere_ and has monetization, the eyeballs, and a seemingly infinite number of videos. It will be extraordinarily difficult to compete with this.

Literally over a billion smart phones are sold each year, most of which have YouTube apps on them already. At the moment nothing can reasonably compete with YouTube. They can, of course, be successful but will remain a niche product.
I personally much rather prefer using utilities written in Go, Rust or C/C++ because they do not depend on a specific version of an interpreter/module so they are quite easier to install and it's way less likely to bork them. This happens to me all the time with Python and Perl applications and it's quite an hassle.
I don't know if others have experienced it, but I run a monitoring server from Hetzner and have daily issues with IPv6 latency and packet loss (edit: Finland DC).

I monitor 3 other IPv6 locations, the monitoring server will very randomly throw alerts, and only from Hetzner. Yet, when I opened a ticket, I was told it was the fault of the other providers, despite the mtr traces showing otherwise, and not having issues outside Hetzner.

Hopefully more IPv6 users means that I won't be the only one impacted by those networking issues. I find IPv6 useful for servers that are not public-facing. They are firewalled of course, but it also means I can access them directly from home without hops or VPN (my home having a static IPv6 address).

Does an Israeli Arab, or worse, a Palestinian Arab, have the same rights as an Israeli Jew? Does the Israeli constitution say it's a country for Jews? Are the people in Gaza living in what amounts to an open air prison? Are Palestinian getting expelled from their land for resettlement by Jews?

No, yes, yes and yes. It's hard to argue that's seriously different than apartheid ( except that black South Africans weren't generally confined to an open air prison, and expelled from their land for resettlement by whites).

Flash also took interactivity to the next level back in it's day. There is still adobe animate (which is the flash editor) but it does not adapt to screen sizes and you quickly need to drop down into code. I'm hoping to build a tool that can match flash in creativity with less of a learning curve, so that non programmers can use it too.

Building all of this is a lot of work (and this is only the beginning). I think open-source is not a viable way of building this right now. Development will stall before a critical mass of features allows wider adoption.

Ask HN: Is your infrastructure protected from cloud region/provider going down?
It happens. And, it's somewhat "normal".

AWS us-east-1 is partially down at the moment.

Even giants like Spotify weren't protected from GCP outage last month.

Is anyone here who's completely protected from such outages?
Django, Rails, Phoenix, Laravel, etc are all pretty similar at a high level.
Seems "the cloud" had a major outage less than a month ago, my laptop has a higher uptime.

$ 16:04 up 46 days, 7:02, 9 users, load averages: 3.68 3.56 3.18

US East 1 was down just over a year ago

https://www.theregister.com/2020/11/25/aws_down/

Meanwhile I moved one of my two internal DNS servers to a second site on 11 Nov 2020, and it's been up since then. One of my monitoring machines has been filling, rotating and deleting logs for 1,712 days with a load average in the c. 40 range for that whole time, just works.

If only there was a way to run stuff with an uptime of 364 days a year without using the cloud /s
Is the article arguing that internet comms and social media is a substitute for face-to-face socializing? You seem to be arguing about a point that isn't being made.

Loneliness definitely is a problem if a pandemic makes socializing in person effectively impossible. We need people to be able to overcome their loneliness, temporarily not in person, so they don't risk spreading a lethal virus around.
Same here and I use us-east-2.

There is a very long history of US-east-1 being horrible. Just bad. We've told every client we can to get out of there. It's one of the oldest amazon regions, and I think too much old legacy and weird stuff happens there. Use US-west-2.
And the reason they are able to do so is because by rejecting a video, you don't see it anymore. On the other hand, if you are given a view of 5 videos on YouTube and you click next, what YouTube should be doing is rejecting all 5 and showing you a new 5. For some reason this doesn't happen on YouTube. When you come back to the frontpage, you see the same videos over and over and over again unless you manually tell YouTube you're not interested.

So it's not the auto-play that's crucial, it's realizing that the user is giving you a signal. YouTube has been ignoring that signal. Perhaps it's a performance issue that makes them unable to?
Yep, I really liked the copyright change to make copyright protection automatic, instead of requiring a filing.

But it should require active regular renewal, to create the record of continued ownership.

You should get a (reasonable) protected period of time automatically, to give you time to figure out which works are worth the effort to continue protecting. But it should require (minimal) active ongoing effort to maintain that protection.

For me, this is especially relevant when it comes to abandoned digital content (like video games and other applications). It'll be *so* much harder to archive and preserve content that's 140 years old, than it will be content that's 14-28 years old.

Honestly, I don't mind the idea that you the creator, personally, holds the copyright for life. If I write a song in my 20s that sets the world on fire and I can still live a good life at 80 off the back of it, great.

The minute I sell that copyright to someone else (or it's inherited), a time limit begins to apply. Perhaps here you move into the '20 years' or something category.
Slack is pretty much full AWS, I've been switched over to Teams so I can't check.
One of the slowest parts of a Shopify website is their CloudFlare backed CDNs (may have improved, it's been a year since I benchmarked). The app server responds in < 60ms, then the CDNs responds anywhere between 50-300ms, which tanked the user experience.

Serving lots of little files even with HTTP2 has all the same problems, lots of little requests make the likelihood of hitting a bottlenecked CDN node more likely. I'm not sure where the idea of serving JS as small loaded in modules on the frontend came from, but I've never seen it increase the feel of a website. Single monolithic JS file sites almost always feel better and load faster. It might be better to just process the small modules to be inline with the HTML, instead of using a dozen network requests.
Personally, I think getting banned from various technology communities can be a badge of honour. Obviously not just crude flaming, but going counter to the narrative.

This is a decent very high-level approach, but doesn't go into the practical applications for most people. If you're a civilian looking at small to moderate-sized retaining walls on your personal property (4 feet or less in height) rather than a civil engineer designing massive projects for infrastructure, your retaining walls are almost certainly failing due to issues with drainage (not enough drainage material, incorrect drainage material) or possibly a heavy surcharge rather than the forces described here.
amazon.com seems to be having problems too. I get something went wrong to a new design/layout which I assume is either new or a fail safe.
I’m not a lawyer either. I was thinking that this may fall under false advertising [0]. That is, claiming N people are interested in the product/service while that information is clearly made up.

You just create a route for it, same as you would with any size network. Linux allows you to create routes for IPv6 prefixes longer than /64 without any issue. On AWS I have a VM with a /80 routed to it, which I have divided into multiple /96's internally. It works fine.
