Ugh. I have a hard time with this one. Back in the day, EBS had some really awful failures and degradations. Building a greenfield stack that specifically avoided EBS and stayed up when everyone else was down during another mass EBS failure felt marvelous. It was an obvious avoidable hazard.

It doesn't mean "avoid EBS" is good advice for the decade to follow, but accepting failure fatalistically doesn't feel right either.
hi HN - I wrote this as a summary from what I have learned reading the book. As I have no prior encounter to Amazon's culture, this is quite an eye-opening. However, this coincides with the AWS incident [0] and I'm cross examining the principles with their response and the comments. Hope to write a following post to dissect it.

> AWS in general is trying hard to do the right thing for customers

You are responding to a comment that suggests they're misrepresenting the truth (which wouldn't be the first time even in last few days) in communication to their customers.

As always, they are doing the right thing for themselves only.

EDIT: I think that you should mention being an Engineer at Amazon AWS in your comment.
The US Constitution begins with “We the People.”

The Greek Constitution begins with “In the name of the Holy and Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity.”

If the EU is going to take counties as they are … this is how Greece is - a state with a very influential established church.
What's unethical about that? I don't participate in either side of the market, so maybe I'm missing something. But it seems like a pretty clear service-for-money deal, with consenting adults on all sides and transparent revenue models.
Agree, I thought the way the article was written made me really sympathetic to Tyler. Plus, while the article does talk about streamers in general, I really read it much more as a story about this specific streamer, not about streamers in general.
This doesn't solve the problem that users have to host files themselves, which makes the network unsuitable for many use cases. With torrents and IPFS, only popular content will be hosted by voluntarists with varying levels of service.

This is the drawback of traditional decentralized networks compared to blockchain-based networks such as Sia/Skynet, where users can pay to get their files hosted with guaranteed service level.

> no provenance of the data

This is hardly true. It's easy to keep a history of query logs, which is enough to figure out 90% of data lineage. The rest 10% probably correspond to operations not even runnable on a blockchain.

I can mock a web3 application by opening a database to the entire internet. All edits logs will be visible, although edits will be access controlled. Now I'll claim this is observable. Some people would probably complain. But how in the world is the general public going to complain?
Just skimmed the first chapter, very interesting! Pragmatic Studio [1] has a similar course for Elixir. The authors explain how to create an HTTP server from scratch (ie, using Elixir and Erlang native libraries). Since I took [1] before reading the post, the example of the thread-based server given in the first chapter makes sense to me.

It's cool how big chess has become in Norway. Since Carlsen's first WC match, there's been live coverage on TV, streams from big online newspaper etc. And internationally it has also looked good the last few times. This year there were lots og different online streams of different styles, many gaining a huge view count.

And somehow, watching the rapid WC at the end of December has become sorta a Christmas tradition for many in Norway. It's a kind of slow TV that works really well.

Man, 1999 sounds wild.
I think the distinction is you can say "I pay good money for you to do it properly and how dare you go down on me" but you become an "armchair infrastructure engineer" when you try and explain how you would have avoided the outage because you don't have the whole picture (especially based on a very carefully worded PR approved blog post).

That may be true, but it doesn't justify worker exploitation and abuse. Unless you'd like to claim that is the only way any large project gets done in any industry. Which would be a bold claim indeed.
Yeah exactly. I was kinda like "Well dude, if you click a link and it takes you to an HTML page, certainly clicking Save As will save an HTML page". I kind of feel like Linus should know that. But the higher point stands: A lot of my friends and relatives should not need to be on GitHub pulling down scripts so they can enter a video call or do a stream or screencast. The only exception being if there is a direct link to a GitHub releases page with download links for executables.

Assault rifles were banned in 1986. The only assault rifles available on the civilian market are registered pre-ban ones. Due to limited supply they tend to be quite expensive ($10,000+). You have to register with the ATF and pay a special tax to purchase one.
Expenses just reduce your net income. It costs money to cleanup an oil spill.

The fines, afaik, are not tax deductible and are paid after calculating taxable income.

This is true for any business, but I don't get why oil gets singled out by people describing this type of accounting as oil companies getting a government subsidy. It just means expenses were higher, so net income and profit are lower, which is the amount you pay taxes on.

It's not that complicated.

Now if the government pays for part of the cleanup, and for some reason that amount is forgiven for whatever reason (maybe as part of a settlement), then that forgiven debt is considered taxable income.

It's standard businesses accounting, whether oil company or any other type of business.

5xx errors are servers or proxies giving up on requests. Increased timeouts resulting in successful requests may have been considered "elevated latency" (but rarely this would be a proper way to solve similar issue).

They treat 5xx errors as non-errors but this is not the case with rest of the world. "Increased timeouts" is Amazon's untruthful term for "not working at all".

I used to do that and I had to stop because my recall of the dreams was so detailed that it took me an hour to write it all down in the morning.

Pedantically, the word "nation" in nation-state refers to a specific grouping of people. One which has a single shared history, ethnicity, culture, etc. The US is multicultural with citizens from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, so under that definition it doesn't qualify

The dark web is a good thing – it's a good utility. Whether someone uses it for a good thing or a bad thing, it's up to the individual, but I'm glad that an investment was made to come up with a more secure, privacy-focused protocols was made (and continuing work is being done to improve it).

I'm also glad other protocols exist and the market will ultimately determine adoption based on utility. We mostly used HTTP until FireSheep happened and now use HTTPS very widely and someday, if governments and organisations continue to pry on online activity, we might move to the protocols powering the dark web.

It's the same with crypto. I, too, feel a lot of the use cases being talked about right now are just words – but at the same time, I'm glad that people with the skills and the resources are making investments into coming up with these experiments and the experiments that will offer the most utility might get widely adopted in the future.

As others said, it's entropy. Basically, think about the ways that you can arrange your lines in a box. There's relatively few ways that you can arrange the lines so that they're neat and not all tangled up. There's a lot of ways that they can be tangled up. So if the lines get jostled and move a bit, it's more likely that they end up in a slightly more tangled arrangement than in a less tangled arrangement. Do this a bunch of times and your lines end up all tangled up.

I recall voicing an opinion that we should record interviews we give candidates and re-review it during the hiring committee, much like we do code reviews. Have the interviewer justify certain beliefs about the candidate with hard timestamps rather than platitudes ("not confident", "wanted to see how they react under pressure", etc. etc.).

My comment always gets pushback. Privacy, respect for interviewer ("If I work here, then I myself can judge fine!"), not enough time, etc.

Hiring processes are about as contentious as CI methodologies, it seems

You can always tell the recruiter/coordinator. It's just tricky because you don't want to burn bridges, doing it before you hear back could be read as you asking for a do-over, doing it after could come across as bitter.

It’s pointless to continue - you asked for “just one thing” then come up with reasons why the use case I gave doesn’t count. It wasn’t about trading, it was about being able to store value without needing trust in a central authority.

I don't follow team sports on TV. But when I worked in an office, I tried to follow Association Football matches, because that's what colleagues would talk about "round the water cooler". Also, my girlfriend enjoyed TV football. Basically, I was faking it.

I think sports on TV are the last remnant of that "who shot dirty den" business.

Then the girlfriend left, and I retired. No more TV sports for me.
My favourite telling of the DX7's amazing history is in this video by MadFame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXt_NXjc7oY

His Youtube channel has some absolutely amazing patch tutorials also.
Good, except it propagates the notion that the marginal human presence at the time wiped out continent-spanning species.

The best evidence now is that a meteor strike on the Canadian ice shield wiped out most of the megafauna, and the Clovis culture, at one stroke, initiating the 1200-year Younger Dryas cold spell. The damage reached as far as Syria and southern Africa, leaving a layer of platinum-enriched dust.
On the receiving end it weeded out a huge number of bad candidates.

Meanwhile, you can achieve the same filtering benefit by far less obnoxious and more accurate means (a cursory glance at their repo, fore example).
Streamer here.
It makes me sad to see that kind of numbers. There is plenty of interesting and attaching personnalities but the crowd focus on top tier streamers.
I not complain for me, I'm in the top tier of my niche but I see many people with unit viewers while being positive for other people. That's why I systematically send my viewers to smaller streamer when I stop the live.

If some of you wonder why viewers give us money, from my experience, the stream is a comfortable place for them.
But how a 26k people chat could be comfortable? You instantly loose the special link with the streamer by being flooded into the chat. On the streamer side, I can't imagine loosing the special link I have with the community.
With 240 messages per minute, it's impossible to meet anyone. I'm lucky to have made friendships and even working relationship through the stream.

For anyone curious about how twitch and HN can meet, go to the Twitch "software and development" category.
What makes you think so?

Mainstream economics would suggest that high productivity and plenty of competition between employers gets you benefits. That's what worked for programmers rather well. Thanks also to low barriers to entry for new companies.

(Especially if you compare programmers to people in other industries, also in other countries and in other historical eras. That would make the impact of unions vs the factors I outlined above more apparent.)

In any case, feel free to form or join a union, if you want to try it.

Re: your last paragraph, I feel like that's symptomatic of a change in the relationship between capital and labor that has happened to some extent at every level of the market.

Companies are increasingly unwilling to invest in the wellbeing or value of individual workers, instead treating workers as fungible assets to minimize the cost of which serve as solutions to current (rather than long-term) problems. We see this with the near-universal embracement of short-staffing in service-level jobs, lack of career mobility from starting positions, and even in the tech industry with the expectation that you usually have to switch companies to get a raise.

> Third, you’re gonna go down when the cloud goes down.

Not necessarily. You just need to not be stuck with a single cloud provider. The likelihood of more than one availability zone going down on a single cloud provider is not that low in practice. Especially when the problem is a software bug.

The likelihood of AWS, Azure, and OVH going down at the same time is low. So if you need to stay online if AWS fail, don't put all your eggs in the AWS basket.

That means not using proprietary cloud solutions from a single cloud provider, it has a cost so it's not always worth it.

Generators and backtracking are even more pervasive in jq than in Icon because jq evaluates all generators fully, even conditional expressions. You have to use the first() -or related- functions to limit evaluation of generators. Whereas in Icon conditionals are always limited to the first value, and you have to use the `every` keyword to evaluate generators fully.

To me, Icon and jq are kindred spirits, even though they have nothing in common in terms of lineage.

The point is that Teams needs to handle emergency calling. What if someone uses a tablet as their phone? The OS can't always provide emergency calling capabilities. A tablet does not present itself as a phone by default, which is why it doesn't usually have a dialler. But if you install Teams or some other calling app, bam, it becomes a phone and needs to follow the law, and if someone opens the Teams app directly and dials 911, it still needs to connect.

Maybe emergency calls from the OS dialler should only be allowed to be handled by the OS, but is it as cut-and-dry as it looks? Not always.

> But Magnus is still king and even Magnus would take another 10 years of dominance to claim GOAT from Kasparov.

Some big opinions here. Magnus has 5 undisputed titles. Only Lasker is ahead of him on 6, and Botvinnik ties him on 5. Vishy also ties him on 5, but one of those was from when the title split in the 90s. Karpov and Kasparov each have 6 titles, but two of Kasparov’s and 3 of Karpov’s come from when the title was split (and they were each playing on different sides of it). One more title make a good case for GOAT Magnus, two more seals it.
