I've used serverless on small personal projects where paying for a VPS or EC2 instance would be cost prohibitive, e.g. would I really want to pay $5/mo for a small throwaway weekend project? Probably not.

But what if the cost is $.0001 per request? It becomes a very convenient way to make all of my personal projects permanently accessible by hosting on S3 + Lambda.

Even in large workloads it makes sense. Much of AWS is migrating from instances to AWS Lambda. There are some workloads where persistent instances make sense, but a lot of common use cases are perfect for Lambda or similar serverless technologies.
Or they are just less sophisticated and more obvious.
Is this an already implemented system, or is this a potential technology?
At a guess it is simply jealousy. They know that she has done more than they will ever do for the maker subculture and that she will do a whole lot more. To make themselves seem a bit taller they have to kick the other person down.
I love to cook and eat food. Along with sex it is, for me, one of the pillars of life.

Your question, to me, exposes an utterly repulsive attitude to life.
Co-locating residential and shopping is good for everybody. US zoning laws that tried to separate them are dumb and bad.
I apologize for my mistake, then. My understanding was based on reading the Prometheus docs on making exporters alone - something I needed urgently for a job.
The trough of disillusionment is coming.
Someone I know well was hired at Twitter more than a decade ago as a senior software engineer. He had experience with natural language processing, and was given a project to identify spam and bot accounts.

He worked on this for a while, all the data he needed was made available and he analyzed every account on Twitter. His analysis said one third of all accounts were bots.

He presented these results to management, who said the number must not be that high, and discussed what it would mean for their MAUs or whatever metrics if these accounts were removed.

None of the identified accounts were deleted. Instead, the project to identify them was canceled, and the engineer quit.

More accounts means more money. Follow the money.
This is also reality for some in second Life and wow too. Hence why they are great examples
It’s not even a cron job. It’s a single apt install.
you've been permanently suspended by Twitter for promoting self-harm and glorifying violence.
I recall a fellow employee said he wanted to get into programming, and what should he do? I suggested he pick up the manual, read it, and start programming.

Needless to say, he did nothing of the sort, and the world passed him by.
It’s not necessarily that it’s unpopular: zoning laws make it mostly illegal. Lots of cities disallow too many unrelated adults from living in the same house, and Single Room Occupancy is mostly illegal to build.

I actually agree and know a lot of people that would choose to live in more communal settings if they were available. But mostly that kind of housing doesn’t really exist: you instead have to convert single family housing to communal, and a lot of the time that means weird compromises.
I think it might be a bit of both.

Hiring is a noisy process and interviewers try to use questions which can divide the signal from the noise with high efficiency (read: no false positives). They willingly take the risk that they will generate a lot of false negatives this way. It is sad, but I when you have such a short amount of time to get to know someone’s abilities, you have to cut some corners.

Also I think you might be a little too hard on yourself. How many interviews did you do? I would expect that except maybe for the top x%, everyone has hit or miss interviews and it
might need a couple of rounds until you get the first positive result. I would assume it is like that for most people and quite normal in very competitive markets. I would say chill first and simultaneously keep preparing your stuff until you strike gold.
Who is offering automated loans? "Regardless of credentials or connections" sounds like I don't need any credit history or anything, how do they trust me with this free money?

And I already have unbridled access to my own computer, which seems to have more compute power than the EVM.
But it is. SU(3) is the group for swapping colors around. It still has spacetime.
True, they need to figure out state police funding. I wonder how much they pay out in law suits.

I don't like the per capita fee structure proposed. PSP routinely operate in municipalities that already have police forces. If they want to make it more "fair", they should charge municipalities based on the number and/or type of call, regardless of whether they have a police force.

There seem to be many of these funding oddities in the state. For example, dept ag complains that they can't fund dog wardens, so they want to increase license costs. Yet the law caps the amount of funding they can get from enforcement (I think the rest goes to the general fund). It would make sense to uncap the amount they get from enforcement. They would likely still need to increase license cost. But maybe they would actually do their job. We had a problem with a dog and found out it wasn't even licensed ($300 fine; the other party was the one who wanted to get the law involved, yet they didn't have a license). When I reported it to the dog warden, they laughed and didn't care. That's your job and you laugh. WTF do you actually do?
Kubernetes is so complex because vendors can make huge piles of money selling solutions to handle the complexity.

Hmm I have an old account (Sep 2007) that sees purple star recommendations…

living with friends can be great. I've done that and really enjoyed it. but you don't always have the luxury of great friends right away in a new place. living with randoms is more of a mixed bag. sometimes they become new friends; sometimes they just bring stress and destabilize your life. I see studios/1BRs as a way to cut out this variance while also sacrificing money and some potential upsides.

I don't really see how apartments are unfriendly to communal living though. 2BRs are very common in new developments (where I live anyway) and 3BRs aren't that hard to find either. I don't find yards to be essential to getting the benefits of communal living.
I look forward to hearing what TimBL says!

I thought Finger itself was a copy of the Whois protocol, which runs on port 43. But that's backwards! According to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc812, sri-nic.arpa supported Whois in 01982, saying, "The NICNAME[/WHOIS] protocol is similar to the NAME/FINGER protocol (RFC 742)," and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc742 is from December 01977, explaining, "The FINGER program at SAIL, written by Les Earnest, was the inspiration for the NAME program on ITS."

Things like NNTP, SMTP, IRC, and FTP were pretty different from this family of protocols. They're textual, yes, but they're highly stateful protocols with lots of back-and-forth to get anything done. DNS, NFS, and SNMP (01988: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1067) were stateless, like Finger, Whois, and HTTP, but used optimized binary structures over UDP. In my view, though, the protocol semantics are a lot more important than its syntax, so I think HTTP is a lot more similar to DNS than to NNTP.

Later, FTP-like numerical status codes and long-lived connections got added back in to HTTP, but they weren't there in HTTP/0.9. Designed at the same time as HTTP, Gopher (port 70) was also a finger-style protocol, and I don't think it has status codes either.
A bit of a chart crime going on here. The source:
https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/trends

The original source shows more clearly how they only survey once every 3 years. So it's 2018 and 2021. The curvy line in the HN source suggests that 2019 and 2020 saw equal declines but this is an illusion as there's no data.

Obviously the pandemic likely explains the difference between 2018 and 2021, but another interesting difference is that where they normally do in-person interviews, this time they used email. This might only strengthen the effect of "misery" as people tend to shy away from saying they're unhappy in person but gladly do so via email.

Finally, some perspective is missing. Change the response in the link I shared to "Pretty happy" and it's a stable 55%, rising even. If you combine "very happy" and "pretty happy", you end up at some 75%.

"For the first time in polling history, in other words, Americans are more likely to say they’re not happy than to say they’re very happy."

Versus:

"Consistent with the entire polling history, the vast majority (75%) of Americans are pretty happy to very happy, despite the pandemic causing a spike in unhappy people."
Anyone who got tested positive should have been given the same status as someone who got the vaccine.

You shouldn't refuse that just because you are worried people might try to get sick.
We have been using it for years with few major issues, so I would definitely not call it completely broken. “Suboptimal”, maybe.

But we made the decision that the benefits of containerization outweigh the cost of having to run containers in a VM during development, and have been mostly happy with that decision. We’re certainly not considering going back to the old way of having to manage application runtime dependencies separately across hundreds of different servers.
I'll vouch for the Manga Guide to Databases. It's a solid first introduction wrapped up in a silly little story about a princess and a fairy. Read numerous 5-star Amazon reviews for more.
By "natural immunity" they mean getting COVID and subjecting people to an inordinate risk of permanent disability or death. They are really saying that the best way to not get COVID is to get COVID? I feel like so many people are taking crazy pills.

Not trying to troll, but can you explain some of them? Not in the abstract, but in end-user/product terms.
You can Cartesian product it with space time, yes. But that is possible for any system.
One can get tired of hearing any song, no matter how good, after listening to it too many times.

One other funny detail is that most of the Stasi file was handwritten notes in pencil. The vast majority of it was crap. It seems that a lot of her associates were obligated to report on her to the Stasi, but either couldn't or didn't want to give any details that would be harmful to anyone.

Much of it was along the lines of "[fellow student] says [subject] was disinclined to denounce rent-control as a counter-revolutionary ploy during a late-night discussion with [other student]." or "[room mate] overheard [subject] calling her family in the US, and did not hear any overt discussion of politics."
BitCoin is 13 years old. The blockchain is not a new technology, and it is not extremely early days. We have over a decade of people trying to use blockchain and cryptocurrencies to solve real problems - and not just from startups, but also from large, international tech companies with research divisions. They have tried to use blockchain to solve real problems, and they have failed.
This is a very heavy alternative. It is also not viable for those with ARM machines, as Virtualbox is x86 only.

Minikube is a popular alternative. Colima is an up-and-coming one that's can run both raw containerd and Docker engine on top of containerd. I prefer Colima since I'd rather not have Kubernetes running full-time (consumes resources).
Thing is nobody is actually planning to do that. Right now some are trying to build their own small 'metaverses' but a connection, like a open standard is delusional at this point.
I don't think you owe anybody an explanation, especially not when pressured for one.
I'm not so familiar with the military but wouldn't it be up to brass like generals or strategic command to decide if the IT infra upgrades are a threat to combat readiness, and prioritize it accordingly?

They can give the CIO budget to do this, but the CIO can't unilaterally decide to do it.
It's a small club. Yes, luck is always involved, and you are not in control. Luck hits you. When the lightning strikes, you're either ready or you are not. The problem is that most people seem to behave in an exact opposite manner. They waste their life, waiting for luck to swoop them off of their feet. This is definitely wrong. You prepare yourself for when these opportunities decide to reveal themselves.

It's like saying "I'm not going to begin to exercise and attract a partner until I meet them first" - a recipe for failure. You must become the attractive person, and then, when they happen to enter your life, you attract them.

I apologize. I'm riffing.
Yeah but my point was to develop a tool to extract NVIDIAs proprietary signed firmware, make nouveau capable of interfacing with said firmware, and distribute the extractor tool as part of a Linux distribution.

That way you'd have both high-speed acceleration and an as-far-as-possible open source driver.
Yeah that’s only unused until you need it at which point it doesn’t involve futzing with anything.

One of the things that kills me is running fluentd because you have to fuck around with ruby gems in containers every two minutes to get it to do something reasonable.

This is pain. Prom is not.
So my database course used a proprietary database hosted on-campus with IP ACLs. I setup a proxy on the campus cluster and mirrored 90% of it before the lecturer turned it off. I don't understand why they would even look, much less care, about policing closed-source documentation like the Stasi. If it happened these days, it would've been an Aaron Swartz situation.
Ah yes, grabbing the SAM file. That's still a valid attack vector if local admin password rotation isn't in play.

I'm not a huge fan of those statistics because "deaths per 100k hours" isn't really an appropriate way to compare driving vs. motorcycles vs. GA. If you're comparing driving vs. GA, I think one possible appropriate measure is "deaths per mile"; let's say the average speed of a GA craft is 150mph and the average speed of a car is 37mph, that means that GA is 6 times more deadly than driving a similar distance.

Even that is a flawed measure, however. Few people use GA as a replacement for driving. I think in general, an appropriate measure to use is to estimate the (negative or positive) expected DALYs associated with an activity over a lifetime. That said, this measure does (in my opinion) penalize moderately-unhealthy things worse than very risky activities. For example, BASE jumping has a fatality rate of 0.04% per jump. If you do a handful of crazy BASE jumps, that's only a slight DALY difference - very roughly comparable to not brushing or flossing as far as I can tell from this study [0].

Economic capital is interesting because 1) it's not a zero sum game. Most exchanges of economic capital result in the betterment of both parties. 2) in order to get some, you usually provide a good or service to someone else. These things are not necessarily true of other forms of social capital; you can definitely accrue political capital by killing people (or in a less dramatic sense, by being feared by people).

Could you please explain what this means? Googling didn't reveal much.

Yup, but different enough to give me an outside perspective on the culture I'd grown up in. Argentina's present is actually shittier, but not in the same way.
I just refactored my whole app from MongoDB to DGraph... Guys I really like this idea I don't want to abandon it. What should I do: eat section 13 of Mongo's license, or try to maintain a database server myself?
Oh, so we are not talking about common sense anymore but about proscriptive law. In other words, there is nothing to understand here.

The constitution says "tender", which might be tenuous to lean on, but you have to admit that "shall not make legal" vs "shall not make" is equivalent to saying "English is the language of this sentence", a classical liar's paradox, because it could mean anything depending which language it's written in, particularly if it's written in legalese.

It does in fact not say "legal tender".
Can you imagine what will happen when measuring pupil dilation goes mainstream? Any authoritarian govt will be able to measure your true intentions. There is no way to hide your pupil dilation.

For example, if you are browsing twitter and see a post of your country "liberating" its enemies. If your pupils and pulse indicate that you don't approve of your country's actions, suddenly you will lose some rights as a citizen. Maybe your house gets raided for "suspicion of terrorism"

With AR/VR devices about to go mainstream, this is very possible.

Any thoughts?
Nothing. No metaverse concept differs from second Life other than better graphics and less loading pains. VR also ist just a visual layer.
Holy cow this is cool! I’ve got a bunch of data in Airtable, and creating these types of dashboards is hell. Can’t wait to see if I can get this wired up and working.
Prices are set at the margin, and house prices are sticky on the way down as noone wants to sell for a loss. Instead volume of sales decline, unless sales are forced by foreclosure. Also cheap borrowing and risky lending practices.
Vitamin D is one of the most overstudied topics in medicine. Yes, there are probably aspects of vitamin D function that we do not understand well, but if there were a large signal for benefit, it should have been discovered by now.

> They really shouldn’t be bundling any Python version with the OS - the user should choose the versions installed.

Why? Having a bundled Python version - any version - means that you can ship Python scripts to others. Not having a Python version bundled means you can't ship Python scripts at all.

Sure, you can still technically ship them, but now you need to tell users "just run this simple scipt!... after you install Python X from place Y, and now you'll have multiple Python versions installed, so here is how to keep them separate, and [...]". Or, you can bundle your script with a whole Python installation!
It is annoying to have to constantly scroll to "show more" replies. Is there a way to get Twitter to show more than just a few at a time? Would be helpful especially because the not-recommended replies are all hidden at the bottom.

What if I want to see what the algorithm is hiding from me? If there are many replies it's time consuming to find out.
Whatever happened to delta?..nobody is saying
Or you'd hire an MSP. Having a full time employee is a greater level of service than anyone here is getting from a cloud provider. Lots of folks can get by with an admin who stops in once or twice a week, or remotes in and takes care of the daily tasks on largely a part-time basis.
Thank you, I will check it out.

Do you have any experience with QuestDB?
Every time I think it's over it goes higher. Never underestimate human gullibility.

Also don't forget that there are two huge use cases for this stuff that are not going away: money laundering and flight capital from authoritarian countries. Those use cases alone can drive this even higher.

I wonder if you couldn't get similar efficiencies by insulating the walls and lid of the pot itself though (and that would work on any stove, not just one that had a sunken burner of a fixed diameter). Choosing a good material for high-temp insulation might be tricky (without making the wall thickness high) but I for one would be happy to have an nice Ti + aerogel pan... (Ti does work on induction too!)

When exactly in history do you imagine these services existed, but there were no taxes? Do you somehow imagine Kings weren't collecting taxes (the original reason for the American Revolution)?
Totally agree.
Another part of it is just feeding curiosities.

Thank you! Both the ESRI and community college options look great as a structured start.
Labeling the entire sector as dangerous and fraudulent is incredibly short-sighted, dismissive, and at the end of the day, a lie. I don't buy into the crypto craze of Web 3.0 and NFTs (in terms of digital art), but I do think the technology already has applications that are useful to many, and many that still remain to be discovered.

I agree that we should inform people about the risks and scams that are currently common in the crypto space, but you're advocating for a lot more than that.

You can speak for yourself, but you shouldn't pretend that your opinion is shared by, or that you speak for, the majority of people working in IT.
