What about these tips lack honesty or integrity?
you're too focused on product here, which is not strategy. it's exactly the common sort of myopia that needs conscientious correction to understand how markets and market distortions operate.
Because your own datacenters cant go down?
Because the expected value of using AWS is greater than the expected value of self-hosting. It's not that nobody's ever heard of running on their own metal. Look back at what everyone did before AWS, and how fast they ran screaming away from it as soon as they could. Once you didn't have to do that any more, it's just so much better that the rare outages are worth it for the vast majority of startups.

Medical devices, banks, the military, etc. should generally run on their own hardware. The next photo-sharing app? It's just not worth it until they hit tremendous scale.
Of course I disagree. Your comment, which advises people not to write like the article, starts with phrase it's a waste of time to read. Then it misquotes the article—I was, naturally, expecting to see that quote in the article. It repeats a phrase, apparently for effect. "Malociouly"? You seem to see signs of humanity in the writer only as condescension and vanity. Your "Avoid writing like this" applies infinitely better to your own comment, I think.

You seem to assume all writing should be dry academic writing, without vivid language or friendliness to the reader.
These kinds of errors - claiming an exchange is a market maker for example - seem to be minor errors. But every single argument in favor of a blockchain seems to have one or two of them which make the argument flawed.
I have always suspected this to be the case, but it is great to see it confirmed and well-explained in detail by an almost-authority in our field.

I wonder if in the near future we'll see a similar article regarding security - "You Can't Buy Security".
So reinvent is over. Time to deploy.
In the age of the internet local doesn't matter anymore. I'm now part of a community that spans the globe.

Hi!

I am working on an alternative service for the optimized images and deliver them over a CDN [1], for the images it generates a series of down-scaled images and provides a helper script to get the right image.
Right now all the documentation and examples are focused on NodeJS [2], but I am working on examples for Dart, Ruby and Python.

Some of the features are:

- Optimized images
- Custom domain
- Public and Private files over a CDN
- Upload widget, API, UI, dashboard and webhook
- Bulk delete and bucket manipulation
- CORS configuration

I am working on a couple features for the private files and image handling (based on the feedback from the users), let me know if you want to give it a try!

Ask HN: What's the best way to moderate images in 2021?
I run a text-only forum but now I want to allow for image uploads. But... the moderation aspect sounds like a quagmire. What's the best approach?
I don't think it's either. I am pretty sure it is a competitor to OpenRoad.

USA Today is deliberately written at a 10th grade reading level, so it’s doubtful how relevant it is for university students.

But if you found only one relevant article in the NY Times then either you were consuming radio/TV news, or just don’t care about current events.

Which is fine, it just means you weren’t the target audience.
> I've hired hundreds of people and this is just not true. A first impression matters a bit, sure - but it has hardly any effect on the decision.

The thing about confirmation biases are that they are at the subconscious level and you likely wouldn't be able to detect them. It's possible that you have an impartial and immune to confirmation bias interview process, but it's also possible that you are indeed deciding (skewing) most of your interviews in the first several seconds.

> Hiring is literally the most important job a manager has in any fast growing company. It should be taken very seriously and systematically

I agree. Which is why, if it is found that hiring committees are more effective, and your company isn't using them, then are you taking them seriously? The same with bonuses and promotions. These should not be decided by a single person (manager).
Many of those businesses wouldn’t have existed in the first place without simplicity offered by cloud.
> tens of million dollars of profit are simply vanishing

vanishing or delayed six hours? I mean
So you're saying companies should start moving their infrastructure to the blockchain?
I did not get the issue. Who is stopping him from boycotting whatever?
That depends on which cities we're looking at. We also have to look at percentage and not just area. If we're packing people in 10:1, then the space can be 5-10% of the area and hold a large portion of population. This may be sufficient based on the desires of the people (back to the article).we

"The goal is that when prices go up, there should be a way for people to build more homes that have a reasonable commute."

If they can't, then that should encourage employers to look elsewhere and move.
> while still remaining close to my job, friends, and family.

So you stayed in proximity to enjoy the benefits?

I'm not downplaying it BTW, I've been in that situation before. It's a little different when you're from a city, and it's more than just exotic food at midnight. I'm from a city too, that's where my life was, that's where my family is. I have experienced first hand my little suburb becoming an urban-clinging-onto-suburban-delusion hellscape.

Still though, we stayed in proximity and expected the world to stagnate for us. I realized that's not going to happen and I left. The city will grow, and like it or not you never left it, you just avoided the trade off for a while.
It takes two to tango. WH can try to influence the angle but ultimately it's up to the press to report the unbiased truth (which they rarely do).

The only time I had contact with the end user as a defense contractor was when I was working on-site in an R&D shop, where we were creating software for users that were all in the same "integrated" team with us. That was the only job I've had in the industry I could describe as "fast-paced."

The central bank (the US Federal Reserve) kept buying bonds and kept interest rates at near zero; inflation was a foregone conclusion. If it's great, why do we have to change how it's marketed?

Have you ever looked at VyOS (https://vyos.io/)? IIRC EdgeOS was a fork of Vyatta and Vyatta became VyOS. Their LTS pricing doesn't work for small businesses, but the rolling release might be an option for home use.

It's sad that everyone only wants to accept huge amounts of cash these days. Take VyOS as an example. The smallest licensing option they have is $6k per year for unlimited installs. That makes it completely unobtainable for a person that I build firewalls for, so we don't even evaluate it.

In terms of percentages, we could probably add about 15% to every firewall sold and that could be passed along to a software vendor. If we had a self serve portal where we could download LTS releases and generate lifetime licenses we'd send them 15% of our firewall (sales) revenue and they'd basically never hear from us.

In real numbers that would be about $1-1.5k a year as long as we could pay per device as we sell/install them. Using pfSense as an example it'd be in the range of $10k since we started using pfSense and, in the last 5 years, I think I've only had 1 issue I couldn't figure out on my own where I had to go ask on their forum.
I still can’t believe we are going to let a company with such a horrendous track record launch a platform that has the potential to be 90% of where we spend our waking time.

I couldn't stop thinking about this, so I went back and dug up an ancient (20yo+) copy of my OS implementation for the trains course (mat(t)OS). Sure enough, we did indeed dispatch the upper half of interrupts to processes, albeit via a dedicated blocking syscall rather than send/receive/reply semantics. Bottom half handlers (which were implemented behind task gates and had persistent stacks) just did the standard bottom half stuff: disabling interrupts & managing state so we could properly unroll after the interrupt had been handled.

What a throwback!

Interrupt code is at https://gist.github.com/mtrudel/c29fa60e5b2f3b6fdc46a9e3c65d.... I've been meaning for years to clean this stuff up and resurrect it. Maybe this is the kick in the ass I need to finally do so!
That doesn't mean what you think it means.

The agreement is more of a hybrid cloud arrangement with AWS Outposts.

FTA:

>Core to Nasdaq’s move to AWS will be AWS Outposts, which extend AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility. Nasdaq plans to incorporate AWS Outposts directly into its core network to deliver ultra-low-latency edge compute capabilities from its primary data center in Carteret, NJ.

They are also starting small, with Nasdaq MRX

This is much less about moving NASDAQ (or other exchanges) to be fully owned/maintained by Amazon, and more about wanting to take advantage of development tooling and resources and services AWS provides, but within the confines of an owned/maintained data center. I'm sure as this partnership grows, racks and racks will be in Amazon's data centers too, but this is a hybrid approach.

I would also bet a significant amount of money that when NASDAQ does go full "cloud" (or hybrid, as it were), it won't be in the same US-east region co-mingling with the rest of the consumer web, but with its own redundant services and connections and networking stack.

NASDAQ wants to modernize its infrastructure but it absolutely doesn't want to offload it to a cloud provider. That's why it's a hybrid partnership.
In my (extensive) experience on several different hardware platforms, OpenWRT is far more stable and featureful than stock firmware.

In the worst case, stock firmware would require a hard reset (power cycle) every few weeks. I've had OpenWRT firmware running without interruption (on UPS) for years at a time.
I read multiple NY Times articles per day while in community college and university (2007-2012). I’d say there were multiple relevant articles every day. I think OP just isn’t interested in current events or the opinion pages. Which is fine. But likely not broadly representative of most news consumers.
On a tangent, I'm an American and I disappear for a month when I take vacation. It probably has something to do with the fact that I was born in Europe or with getting tired of half-assing vacations and getting burned out. I'd like for 'black hole' vacations to be normalized in the American workplace. I'm doing my part!
> Is your conjecture that Newton's method would always work at least as well as gradient descent when the vector field has nonzero rotation?

> You could easily come up with examples where gradient descent would work better despite the rotation, and I expect you could also find lots of rotation cases where Newton's method would get completely thrown off (whereas GD wouldn't).

I don't think I understand the meaning of the questions. It isn't gradient descent unless you have a potential function. You cannot do gradient descent on a vector field that is not a gradient. You can solve an ODE.

You can, of course, turn a root-finding problem (F(x) = 0) into a minimization problem by defining a potential like g(x) = (F(x))^2. You can do gradient descent on g. So in that sense, both of these problems reduce to each other, though there are better methods for solving F(x) = 0 than minimizing g.

I still don't understand this sense of optimization being easier than root finding.

What I do understand is some sense in which there are more vector fields than there are gradients, since only some vector fields are gradients of potential functions. My comment was intended to point that out, since I thought that is maybe what you meant.

You have your elbow close to your laptop anyways... might as well plug in.
Great thinking on this one!

The problem is...that we need this level of creative thinking in the first place.

We need hacks like this so that we can make it through a completely broken industries interviewing process.
The original Politico article (https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021...) had a really weird tone. It read a little sarcastic to me. After starting with downplaying her concerns, it ends with almost mockery:

> But still, should someone who travels with the nuclear football be spending time untangling her headphone wires? The American people deserve answers!

>The vice president’s office did not respond when asked if there was a “fun origin story” to Harris’ Bluetooth wariness, or for any background on the particular security risks Harris believes Bluetooth technology represents.

Brain scans look but what do they mean?
Boring Magic
From the Linux side of the fence;

Like, why. Why ANY OF THIS. Why a big "important sounding" announcement for something so trivial? Why encourage or tolerate an operating system (slash ecosystem of apps) with such a limited view of choice? Announcements like this really lay bare the collective dumbing down that these centralized ecosystems encourage.

Someone's going to respond with "people don't like thinking about choices for things and just want simplicity," and I will point you to an American grocery store to remind you what utter BS that is. This is monopoly(ish) leveraging, perhaps not at its most harmful, but it's really silly.
Does this pull data from anywhere else? (e.g. I've heard the Personalized Dashboard is more realtime and representative of actual health)

Or does it take services that the official AWS Status page lists as impaired and then increase the severity of the issue?

I agree. From personal experience, this sort of phrasing comes during a temporary high that you get after mastering a topic. Conquering a piece of technical material elevates you, and in a sense you want to be condescending towards your ignorant past self.

It's bad taste.
> What a strange title. Did Tim Cook sign a deal?

> I am sure Apple signed the deal.

I'm sure it means Tim Cook signed a deal on behalf of Apple, as opposed to some underling with less authority. Which means they can't backtrack by scapegoating an underling if this causes too much controversy for them.
For Windows I would say it is. Windows doesn't come with vi, nano, or any other terminal text editor, and some kind of text editor is needed for pretty much anything you would do with a computer.
> In my opinion, the best source for music discovery continues to be local radio

In my region(s) of France, they either suck or only play very big names. I envy people who live in range of a good local radio.
This appears to be a single region outage - us-east-1. AWS supports as much redundancy as you want. You can be redundant between multiple Availability Zones in a single Region or you can be redundant among 1, 2 or even 25 regions throughout the world.

Multiple-region redundancy costs more both in initial planning/setup as well as monthly fees so a lot of AWS customers choose to just not do it.

I use a different UI depending on my mood.

XFCE, open box, ratpoison, awesomewm, dwm

XFCE and open box are floating. You can set up some key binds to snap windows. Overall I think floating + snaps are superior to pure tiling. I use XFCE when i want a big fat desktop environment. Pure open box for something light.

Sometimes I want pure tiling. ratpoison (manual tiler) is my mainstay for that. Occasionally use awesome or dwm for a dynamic tiler.
> IT people and engineers get lazy.

Companies do not change their whole strategy from a capex-driven traditional self-hosting environment to opex-driven cloud hosting because their IT people are lazy; it is typically an exec-level decision.
I use notepad++, but it nags me for updates more often than I would like. If I only need a quick dirty note, notepad is still better.
You mean Nakamoto SAtoshi? Surely there'd be some sort of clue if that were the case? ;)

" are also adding support for multi-level undo"

Wow, how advanced. For those of you who did not know, Notepad allowed exactly ONE undo step. ONE! In a frickin text editor.
This seems like an insane stance to have, it's like saying businesses should ship their own stock, using their own drivers, and their in-house made cars and planes and in-house trained pilots.

Heck, why stop at having servers on-site? Cast your own silicon waffers, after all you don't want spectrum exploits.

Because you are worst at it. If a specialist is this bad, and the market is fully open, then it's because the problem is hard.

AWS has fewer outages in one zone alone than the best self-hosted institutions, your facebooks and petagons. In-house servers would lead to an insane amount of outage.

And guess what? AWS (and all other IAAS providers) will beg you to use multiple region because of this. The team/person that has millions of dollars a day staked on a single AWS region is an idiot and could not be entrusted to order a gaming PC from newegg, let alone run an in-house datacenter.

edit: I will add that AWS specifically is meh and I wouldn't use it myself, there's better IASS. But it's insanity to even imagine self-hosted is more reliable than using even the shittiest of IASS providers.
>If you spend all your time just mulling about online, or watching Netflix, or playing a game, then it's not surprising that you are lonely.

I married someone I played an online game with. This idea that multiplayer gaming is somehow asocial is ridiculous.
Same here. Kubernetes pods running in EKS are (intermittently) failing to get IAM credentials via the ServiceAccount integration.
I used to use ST, but I got real bored of suckless

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.
I visted Svalbard during the middle of polar night one year. It was the first time in my life I didn't see the sun in a week.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CWUCCSHJpIg/

It was nothing short of awesome, spectacular, majestic, and terrifying, all at the same time. The fact that within this town of <2000 people, everything went about just as normal, even without the sun -- with a couple of bars, restaurants, and a supermarket -- yet just outside the borders of this town, for a thousand kilometers in any direction there is practically nothing, just the raw, wild, unforgiving arctic. No roads, no cell reception, just nothing, just you and snow, and maybe some hungry polar bears. (And yes, you aren't allowed to leave the town without registering and carrying a rifle.)
So put a lot of effort into something that you hopefully won't have to do very often. I think that's the objection that a lot of us have and why there's a feeling that there's too much emphasis on the interview. I can practice interviewing or I can spend that time learning more about algorithms, math, programming languages, machine learning, etc. It seems like the latter is ultimately time better spent.
Out of curiosity I just opened up the new Calculator. It took around 150ms to load (at a guess, it was pretty much instant).

How slow is it on your machine?? I've also not had it ask me to rate it on the store. I don't think it even exists on the store.

sorry to be nit-picky as I otherwise don't contest anything else you're saying but at the of the day human existence "is energy-intensive to make". There's just no way around that.
