I agree Apple is the bad guy here and even the public discussions were a clown show, who knows how much worse it was behind closed doors. But I’d rather have an inelegant standard than none at all, and I think the problems with WGSL can be worked around.
Heroku:

* Big NO

* expensive YES

* boondoggly NO

* stranglehold on legacy workloads NOT SURE

* friends with your C-suite NO

* engineers and ICs hate it NO

It hits many of the pain points, not all.

Heroku is non-leaky in it's use of AWS. If they switch to something else under the hood you wouldn't know and wont need to change code. The only leaky part is the pricing of someone who is buying wholesale and selling retail.
You are confusing simplicity of usage with simplicity of implementation. "dumb pipes" implement simple services for fixed or low per unit costs, the entire appeal of ready to use complex stacks like EKS is simplicity of usage.
Which models, specifically? Tape are less supported by the roll-based models. However, Label LIVE can submit PDF-based jobs to any printer installed with a driver. So it might work if the manufacturer drivers work as one would expect (hint: they usually don’t… :()

I haven't looked into Tailscale but I do that with plain Wireguard and it's awesome.
I hate this practice that some companies do of testing their sql database usage... By using another database. For postgres, if you are using the jvm, you can use the amazing test containers library to test reasonably fast, with a postgres database that you can set up to be the same version as you use in production.

Any database vendor should either support having their database used quickly in test like these, or at least release a simplified in memory version of their database so people can test their code. If your database is not testable, that should be a black mark against choosing it for a project.

I had been programming since I was 11 years old (now 30 years old professional programmer). I’ve spent innumearable hours at computer keyboard. I can type QWERTY and Russian layout blindly both and I constantly use both.

Never had any issues with my wrists or finger pain.

What am I doing wrong?

Just to be clear I am not trying to say that people who use DVORAK are wrong. It’s just that you tend to forget there’s a huge population of people who due to their regional issues can’t even use DVORAK and most of them don’t have that problem with the wrists.

Maybe the only reason you had those issues is because the only time you actually learnt how to properly type on the keyboard is because you properly spent time learning how to blind type comfortably in DVORAK?
Different strokes for different folks. I'm personally just glad that we were able to collectively hate the Touch Bar enough for Apple to '86 it.
Everything on Twitter should be questioned. It's a private company. They only have their reputation. It is not and should not be suitable for important communication. Imagine if all official communication came through CNN, or the NYT. It's completely nonsensical.

Anyone with access to Twitter has access to whitehouse.gov. Twitter isn't delivering value here, they are a huge societal risk.

Ask HN: What's Up with Google?
Recently, I notice more and more search results Google are locked behind registration gates, and not only does Google list them at all, they're often the top results (Think Quora, Pinterest). I never had issues accessing the content in the results but recently, it's bad. Does no one at Google care? Are the people in charge investors at Pinterest/Quora?
Interesting. I've never trained or practiced my typing, but I've always naturally typed using only my thumb, pointer and middle finger, no pinky or ring fingers at all, but still manage to hit 80-100WPM without them on QWERTY. Good instincts I guess.
I think most Buddhist traditions are “non theistic.” This is different from atheism and theism, in that it essentially says “Even if God exists, God is mostly if not completely beside the point. The point is relying on yourself to save yourself.”
I assume that's because of pay. Working conditions for SW folks is fairly decent at most of the company, except possibly for firmware folks.

I suppose some people didn't like their status in a HW company.
I always liked the concept of Calm Technology and wondered what he might have done with it if he'd had the opportunity. He was also the inventor of program slicing.

Ahh so you equate investment with success. Got it.
Ok, but by that logic it would be impossible to make any kind of analysis about AWS (or other cloud providers) in the sense that the author attempted to make.

In the end I believe, the question is about lock-in and control. In a true "dumb pipe" offering, you could just take your software elsewhere and run essentially the same code without changes. Meanwhile, if you use various proprietary APIs, this is not the case. I'd argue, even if the APIs have open source implementations that you could theoretically use elsewhere, it's not clear how viable this would be in practice.

I think AWS does not become a "dumb pipe" only because you could theoretically use it like that - at least not if doing so would require you to go "against the grain" of the platform the whole time and would force you to only use a fraction of what you paid for.
Extremely impressive
The only thing I was able to find at the time was working from my car in the Starbucks parking lot. I have since left the Terraform job.
> The issue is that Google is dropping all other functionality associated with the accounts, particularly purchases made using these accounts,

FWIW, the small handful of people I've mentioned this to are indeed more concerned about their purchases and SSO than their email.

It seems takeout is acceptable enough to assuade any email concerns, in their cases.

It's not uncommon to be sub zero C for half the morning in the workshop where I work.

I'm able to tolerate it by being able to spend about 30% of my day in front of a 2000 watt heater and by wearing a close fitting AEG branded batter electric heated jacket with two polar fleece jumpers over it, as well as one or layers of micro fleece thermal leggings.

Dressing appropriately certainly help!
I don’t know if elegant is the right word. He just seemed like a drunk man who had been in that situation a few times before.
I was taught (in Canada) to always keep a candle in the car in case you get stranded in the winter. In fact, there was a candle made specifically for this purpose (it was flat, in a small tin - https://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-36-HOURS-SURVIVAL-CANDLE/dp/...)

Yeah, I had one always in my car. I live in Australia now, but still kinda tempted to get one.

The reason I find this article interesting is, how well would a gasoline car fair under the same conditions? I assume you'd not run it the entire time, but heat it up, let it cool down, and repeat through the test.
> where entire healthcare systems (not just hospitals) are cancelling lucrative elective procedures

It’s worth noting that in the context of the UK hospital system, elective surgeries are not elective in the sense that the person has made a choice to have surgery, but rather it’s simply the opposite of emergency surgery. It’s usually vital life saving surgery, but the scheduling of the surgery is elective.

For example, you could have heart attacks, find out you have blocked arteries and be told you need to have a triple bypass. If the need is not immediate right this very second or you’re going to die, that’s elective surgery.

It is not things like a boob job.

Ask HN: Has Galvanize completely gutted the Hack Reactor brand?
I am in the current session of Hack Reactor. Galvanize has basically removed all Hack Reactor branding from the instructional content.
Hack Reactor no longer offers any in-person courses or an SF campus.[1]

There appear to be about 30 students in the course, in the entire Western US (not just CA). They literally can't fill sessions. The internal Slack is completely dead.

Worst of all, the material so far hasn't been updated in at least 10 years, judging by the dates on the latest commits. We're learning early 2000's Doug Crockford-style JS. I wonder if the rest of the course material is like this, too.

The course still costs ~$20K.

Is Hack Reactor basically dead? Are there any Bay Area bootcamps that are a better deal and offer industry networking or employer contacts?

No, the process of converting raw materials into cash reduces the energy content so it’s not a store. It’s a consumer of energy.
I bet there are not. A 3rd party willing to host and distribute your code for free without any contractual burdens which already hosts the vast bulk of your audience and the tools they will use. Seems a great idea, rather than spending money to self host or pay a different brand name and all the follow on expenses, for a worse result. Unless you are a government contractor.
"They needed to be close to a large city center"

I wasn't familiar with with this requirement but how close is close? I don't think the new semiconductor plants in Texas & Arizona are that close to a city center.

And how expensive is too expensive? At least compared to cities of similar size & stature, Chicago itself is not that expensive and can get much cheaper as you move slightly away from it (in the right direction).
Hackathon on Microsoft's Decentralized Identity
Out of 430 comments, there are bound to be some negative comments. Some of them may be valid ( Not a place they want to live is not against Ohio, but an opinion ) , some of them are not. But that is still less than 10 comments.

>unwarranted cynicism

The vast majority are questioning Ohio not because of negativity or cynicism but curiosity. Why Ohio, why not other state? Are there important strategic reasons? Some of them are calling out Tax Break, that is a fair point, but aren't there Tax Break elsewhere? I did a quick glance in the first 300 comments on this page, barely any negativity.

No offence but your comments seems to be the most negative in this thread. But then I am not American. So may be I am not as sensitive.
Are there specific "strains" or formats/consumption methods that work best for you? I find it to be quite impairing or sedating...and sometimes even confounding.

Do you mean, it took more labor to create the hundred dollar bill?

In any case, my point is that the value comes from the societal relationships that invest the asset with value, not the physical nature of it.
The cosmological background radiation, which is an image of the universe shortly after the big bang and before inflation, looks similar to the current layout of matter across the universe. This would seem consistent with a universe being able to be extrapolated from a region of it if there's some underlying holographic relationships.

Reminded me of the excellent documentary "Dangerous Knowledge".
> In other words, the idea is that QWERTY was designed so that humans would type as slowly as possible in order to prevent mechanical jamming.

Nope. That's an oft cited story but it's not true. The point of QWERTY was actually to increase typing speed. The debunking of this is pretty well documented these days (there even a note on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#Properties) so it's disappointing an article as researched as the one submitted here has made such an easy to check mistake.

But I think the bigger trap it falls into, and the same trap many on HN fall into when posting their anecdotes too, is that RSI isn't universally equivalent. It depends on hand sizes, the keyboards you use, any other hand exercises one might do, underlying health conditions, and even just how you hold your hands at the keyboard. So what might help alleviate RSI for one person could easily make it much worse for another person.

>> Does anyone know more about the relationship between Bukowski and Martin, and why Martin would be revered today?

John Martin was the manager of an office supply business in LA and also a rare book collector. He founded Black Sparrow Press specifically to publish Bukowski, who at the time was publishing mostly in obscure magazines or in "chapbooks", which were essentially cheaply produced pamphlets. Martin sold some of the first editions from his collection to fund the company.

He offered Bukowski $100 a month back then, something like $700 a month in today's dollars, to quit his post office job and write full time. Without that, Bukowski, who was what almost 50 years old at the time?, had the choice of either continuing to work at the post office and write on the side, or quit and write full time and face desperate poverty.

Don't get me wrong, if this is accurate about what John Martin has done with his editing, it's horrible and wrong and contrary to some of the other comments here I do not think rape is too strong of a word for it. Hopefully the original works get published at some point.

But without John Martin, most of the poem and stories that Bukowski wrote would have gone unwritten. I found out about Bukowski just randomly browsing the stacks in a university library in the 1980's and I remember the titles jumping out at me. Burning in water drowning in flame. South of no north. The days run away like wild horses over the hills. War all the time. Without John Martin, those books wouldn't have been in the stacks.

I don't know about revered. I can defend John Martin but I can't defend his editing.
Exact same boat here - got my Framework a couple months ago when my Thinkpad X230 finally started showing its age, installed NixOS on it. The only disappointments so far have been battery life and heat management. I get maybe 5-6 hours from full charge, and the laptop gets super hot/noisy when sitting on anything other than a hard flat surface where the fans get maximum airflow (even using it when it's on my lap gets uncomfortable quick, and putting it on top of a blanket is out of the question).
Scheme adapted lexical scoping and block structure from Algol 60. Lexical scoping was a major departure from LISP in 1970s. Call/CC was not in the original Scheme. Probably added in R4RS. Macros came later too. My point was that calling JS Scheme in Algol clothing even less valid than calling Scheme Algol in LISP clothing!
You definitely can, but I'm not sure what the point would be. Say you are a commercial entity and you need to not run everything vertically integrated. You go look for external entities that can do some of the work for you, preferably specialised in such a way that it efficiently delivers whatever you need. At that point, this whole 'dumb pipe' concept is just a column in a crappy spreadsheet somewhere that might make a minor impact on the choice being made. Spending 10 million extra each month because an engineer liked the sound of a dumb pipe better with a vague promise of easier migrations isn't realistic.

If someone truly wants to not be dependent, you need to identify to what degree you want that, and then end up paying a lot more to get there, usually ending up multi-could. Even three 'dumb pipes' aren't similar enough to create a 'write once' IaC and application definition. The closest you can get is not using FaaS-type offerings and sticking to OCI containers. You'll still have to work with the IAM and network primitives each vendor requires, and even if you don't run active-active you'll still have to write every deployment to every provider you use to ensure your systems are always ready to deliver.

It's not impossible, but impractical and expensive. For most companies, the ROI just isn't there. Offloading more day-to-day and non-company-specific work is the way, and dumb pipes can't do that.
It doesn't have anything to do running a fab per se, but obviously location is a factor in attracting talent.

That's because those "good netizen"s remember how hard it was to get the network connected/up and keep it running in the first place. After a while, the new entrants just become parties with the option of some cheap IPv4 blocks and ASNs. Then they see the value of these blocks/AS increase. Then they say "well I have mine and I get no increased value from IPv6 so who cares" and they stay put becoming FYGMs.

Honestly I don't think EVs are the future. They are trendy right now, but are highly impractical if you have to drive a lot or are outside of a city. Besides the fact that a EV's battery pack is pretty much industrial waste after a few years time.

The future is likely hydrogen hybrids. All of the benefits of an EV and traditional ICE engines with none of the draw backs.

Out of curiosity, is there anything in particular that you're looking for? On a cursory glance, whenever a key state is sampled as different to the previously reported state, it immediately reports a state change and locks out any further reports for a specified amount of time. So, the report goes out the moment the state changes, so long as you can't perceive the debounce time, which I presume would be a few dozen microseconds. (Rather than some debouncers I've seen which wait for the debounce period to end before sending the initial report)
Post offices have to be able to handle money orders paid for in cash, so I guess they already have the infrastructure to do a significant subset of bank-like things. At least with respect to document authentication and cash management.

Yes, it is correct. At a distance both 2pc and paxos are solving the consensus problem - a group of entities agreeing on _something_. In the 2pc case, the _something_ is commit or not. In the paxos case, the _something_ is the chosen value. 2pc cannot handle coordinator failure, a single point of failure if you will. Transaction commit and replication are both consensus problems. You can use paxos for transaction commit as well. Lamport has a paper on a protocol called Paxos Commit.

It's pretty interesting actually, to me at least, that Obama roasts Biden pretty much just as well for his off-the-cuff remarks and age immediately after his digs at Trump, which are less derogatory than I had remembered.

Not at all actually. Liberal ideologies like to dress up things like racism as moral and emotional hate-based, but discrimination and oppression often has economic roots. US slavery itself existed purely for economic reasons. Further oppression was to concentrate wealth in white society.

Yet these are recognized by straight people as racism, but straight people don’t recognize, let’s be fair, anything at all as discrimination against gay people.
Could be tricky. As I understand correctly it uses Scintilla for the core text editing functionality, which is cross-platform, but the UI is written using native Windows APIs.
Do something completely different. I've been having a lot of fun putting fibre up on poles for the last few years. It's rewarding in a way that software isn't. Software is all about worrying about the mistakes I've made or might have made, whereas building real world infrastructure has an actual "it's done" aspect to it that software never has that is incredibly satisfying. And it works! Well, until a drunk driver or a propane delivery takes out a couple of poles or spans of fibre in the middle of the night and you have to go do some emergency splicing in -25C weather.
Rust's `unsafe` can't do anything and nor can `unsafePerformIO`. There seems to be no way to break into #private fields, unless I've missed something. So I think the difference is significant.

I see. I don’t really care about or think it’s relevant why the OP is struggling with math. My comments were suggesting alternatives to high school math classes that may have better outcomes. I took the OP at their word that they want to learn high school level math, which is I think obviously a different goal than getting a good grade in math class.
