WTF are you talking about.
It can be the other way round. Our team wanted to use Jira (although it got used mostly like Trello) but the boss wouldn't read it and forced an engineer to manually update a spreadsheet at the same time while running a QA team. This product might have been a godsend during that scenario.
It does much more than that! It tracks every single allocation and dumps it to a file that can later be analysed in many ways. Currently our reporters report peak memory (and leaked memory at the end of the execution) but technically any other reporter can be used. For example, we plan to allow to generate flame-graphs at arbitrary points in the execution and much more!

This is a cool milestone, but it belies the current state of CA renewables, shown here at a very fine grain (data not current, need to go back a week): http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html

To summarize, CA has to burn a lot of natural gas and import a lot of (mostly non-renewable) electricity from other states at night, and even more in the shoulder periods at morning and evening. Only untold billions in new batteries at the expense of ratepayers, and (barring storage breakthroughs) new nuclear or geothermal generation will fundamentally change this situation.

A cool thing is that you can see grid demand drop hard during the days when behind-the-meter rooftop solar is on.

Expanding government power isn’t inherently tyrannical. But tyrants expand government power for their own benefit.

There’s nothing inherently tyrannical about bread or circuses (unless you’re gluten intolerant or fear clowns). Are you familiar with the use of bread and circuses in the Roman Empire?

“The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease.”

Besides that, I think I already addressed your point if reread with good will.

This feels disingenuous, like pushing a DIY narrative, similar to what the OP is doing. Whether you think it offers value or not, a Rasberry Pi at home is _far_ from a cloud VPS. A cloud VPS is behind a net connection with an uptime SLA, has redundant power, can have an SLA of its own, is not NATed, has a fast NIC, and usually is low latency to transit to because of presence in an IX. If you're equating the two, you don't understand why datacenters exist. You can _reject_ this value, but you'd need to be clear about what your expectations are out of then IMO. It's fair to make a comparison between a coloed host or a VPS in another cloud service (like DO or Hetzner) with AWS because it comes with most of the above things (just usually worse transit), but to deny that there's value in a datacenter feels like willful ignorance.

Just FYI residential ISPs are absolutely terrible. Even my ISP, a FTTH one, has uptime lower than 99%. This is aside from layers of CGNAT and your own home equipment's SLA. If you're willing to run a product on this kind of RasPi infrastructure feel free, but don't claim there isn't any value in a datacenter.

It's odd because Ben seems like a nice guy.

This reminds me of a kind of Thiel/Musk/Bezos ego thing, where otherwise rational and reasonable people do these couple of things where they delude themselves into the rationality of their decisions. But that 'character flaw' is actually a competitive advantage for an otherwise reasonable person.

The person answered “yes” to a question that implied they would send their 5yo child alone down the street. Then described the reason why they would be comfortable doing that is because they have walked it with them.

I think it’s reasonable to question that decision based on what they described happening on that street. Your response acts as if the question is whether it’s fine to take your child with you down that street, but that’s not what is under discussion.
If this isn't due to latent memory pressure, it's usually because _something_ in your code is trying to allocate a gigantic amount of memory due to a bug. Think a 1 billion x 1 billion numpy array, or a billion element list.
The very large boast from https://danodowd.com tells me he is either a joke or detached from modern security:

I designed and wrote the core security system for our nuclear forces, military and commercial aircraft, Top Secret encryptors, laptops for FBI field agents, and military cellphones and radios. This software has been certified by the NSA to Common Criteria EAL6+, a higher level of security certification than achieved by any other software. Has your security “expert” ever designed and written the security software for a system that never fails and can’t be hacked? Or, do they claim that no one can write software that never fails and can’t be hacked? I do it every day.

Damn. Talk about hitting the nail on the head. This describes so much of life.

It's like taking the concept of materialized views in databases and applying it to all of life's little data pools. The data is what matters, and Jira is a tool for materializing in a certain way. But often, it's just as important to allow to be materialized and managed in a completely different way (spreadsheet views).

Ask HN: Discussion Board for B2B Customers
Hello HN,

If G2Crowd is the Yelp for B2B software, is there an equivalent for Amazon product Q&A like discussion board for B2B software?

With B2B software purchase decisions moving down the organization charts to end-users, what tools do these users have to share their product experiences across companies?

Adding detail to leetcrew's good reply: the energy of an aircraft in flight is proportional to the square of its velocity. Given steady progress in plane technology you'd expect practical top speed to be limited by cost of energy before too long. That happened more than thirty years ago.
I agree it isn't the most common, but I did just work for a company that put this policy into place last year I think, so it's growing. It's certainly not something where a startup which wants to do it needs to break new ground, at any rate.
>"The government continues to allow Tesla to put unregulated, dangerous, and defective software on the street in the hands of 60,000 untrained drivers,"

That is accurate, one only needs to look at the self driving behavior on display in Youtube videos by what appear to be largely untrained people but it's an odd thing to center an entire campaign around.

Would have been better to expand this to a more general debate about algorithmic decision making. From policing software, to surveillance, and self-driving among other things. There are many areas where citizens have become unwilling participants in software beta tests, not just when it comes to driving.
The thing is, the vast majority of people asking the question will have no idea how to interpret it, and there are actually legitimate issues with privacy there.

I mean - I think it's fully legit for people to have a 'broad sense of the state of the company' - and companies should be prepared to speak to it in some way. But not exactly in the way people are asking.

If financing rounds are public, then at least there's that, and it's possible to 'very crudely guess' where companies are at.
You know what the term RTOS is, yet have not heard of Green Hills Software, but are also qualified to say they are a competitor to "Tesla Autopilot" (which they are obviously not)?
Cool! Fil also tracks every allocation too, although it doesn't dump that at the moment, just the resulting report.

The barrier is always complicated. There's also other issues, like financial literacy. I come from a upper middle class and still fell prey to the "fixed interest" claim. I'm pretty sure kids from families less well off are going to fall prone to even more egregious predatory tactics. It gets complicated really fast because one of the major goals we want from education is it to provide a means to climb the socioeconomical ladder. If we use predatory tactics in any form, then we're biasing towards targeting those people even more. Beyond that, with age, it is hard for an 18 year old to conceptually understand a 10 year loan. I'd argue that you don't start to understand that magnitude till 30 (You've lived 10 years as an adult). But that's way too late to take out a school loan.

The problem comes down to a simple one and I'll put it in the form of a question (this question generalizes to a lot of other areas too btw):

Is a deal/agreement fair when one side has an elite team of lawyers and psychologists and the other team has a high school degree?

I honestly think this is a question a lot of us, especially working for big tech companies, need to internalize and address. I'm not sure there are any easy answers either, because whichever side you fall on (I'm assuming people will say "{yes,no}, but..." instead of a strict black and white answer) there are nuances that are going to play major roles and tip the scales. I'll hint at my personal answer by saying I agree with Blackstone.

As to the question of "bail us out so we can participate in society" I think that is a little different. I think the problem is that the structure has rapidly changed and become out of hand. Incentives were misaligned. We tried to create a system where everyone could get the means to attend college but that incentivized an environment that creates predatory lending and increased financial obligations (upwards of 1k% increases). There's clearly something wrong with the system. I think many people claim to have the answers but I'm sure these are all far too naive. Something this complicated isn't going to have trivial solutions.

It's almost certainly exponential, but the rate of growth depends on a number of dynamic factors. Corrupt elites often shut growth down. It happened in China and Japan several times in the second millennium, and it's happening in the US in the third one; we've backslid since about 1970.

I live in the suburbs and the school bus stop is in our subdivision in front of the entrance. Its a 80 house subdivision and you can walk from the front to anywhere in less than 10 minutes at even a slow pace.

Every morning and afternoon there's a crowd of parents waiting with their kids in the morning or for their kids in the afternoon.

I don't know why. The kids are old enough to walk to and from. In elementary school I walked home, middle school I waited at the bus stop with only other students, no parents and it was only a few of us on the corner.

I also get a kick of parents driving there on a perfectly good day and blocking the roads...a whooping 30 second drive.

I feel if I have my kids walk the few minutes by themselves I'll be labeled a bad parent.

Pretty easy to imagine when you consider he's pushing to re-open social media platforms to the kind of abuse that (they believe) had a hand in taking down a political candidate.

He positioned himself in favor of absolute deregulation of speech by human individuals, or depending on your view, a suppression of free speech for some corporate entities by compelling them to share disagreeable viewpoints.

>Love this line as this was definitely my impression of monads when venturing into Haskell-land

Despite the name though, Leibniz monad's don't have anything to do with monads in category theory/math and Haskell.

In Leibniz the name monads is used for a philosophical concept, kinda like a blend of "atoms" in Democritus and platonic "ideas" ("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monadology")
So we can't make engineering calculations because black swan events throw all that out the window? That doesn't seem like a winning strategy.

Power grids require serious engineering, not magical thinking, if they are to be economical and reliable.

If windmills do not provide base load power, then what will? Something will, and that something will need to be built, and that something will cost money, and that something will have a level of reliability.

It is not peak capacity that is important in engineering these things, and it isn't average capacity either. Engineering based on those will give you a very unreliable power grid, kind of like what California has now.
Generally in CL you should be able to recover from a usable intermediate state and restart from there.
Even worse, the total cost of an employee is often reported at 1.5x their salary, or higher. Engineer hours eat up per-compute-hour savings fast.
This is why honestly developers need to stop seeing issues as technical problems and more as being social ones (which they often are).
So then it's exactly class. The number of bargaining chips you have is approximately the number you are born with. Sure, there's some Brownian motion, but it's basically insubstantial except for lottery winners and lightning victims.

If you're born into connections, you make more connections. If you're stuck having to work to survive, you get assigned more drudgery and never advance. It's the same shitty system that's been around for thousands of years.

Fil can dump memory profiling reports on failed allocations; as other commenter said, Linux by default happily just gives you memory even if doesn't have any, so failed allocation implies giant allocation.

> Is "you don't need AWS" a trendy counterculture thing?

It's this. There's a growing counterculture that likes to hate on Big Tech, and a lot of these folks do so by making disingenuous criticisms against Big Tech. These criticisms are usually low-effort and inaccurate but the authors know they'll get upvotes and spread their screed because of how popular it is to hate on big tech in these countercultures. It's a shame because there's certainly valid, deep criticisms to offer Big Tech but once it became counterculture-popular to hate on Big Tech then people just began taking potshots where they can.

Criticizing the cloud is a popular one because a lot of engineers genuinely don't know a lot about ops and don't know what a cloud is and isn't, they just use it because a senior engineer at their company made the (usually reasonable) decision to opt into a cloud. Alternatively they're junior engineers that have only written software on their machines and don't know what the difference is between running on a local Linux machine and running a net-connected service. That makes it fertile ground to make unsubstantiated claims because most engineers don't actually understand what's happening.

Electrification of cars is useful -- but nothing compared to actually building livable cities, pushing bicycles, public transit and nuclear energy. That not only does far more for global warming, but it makes living in cities far more enjoyable. He's actually slowing progress towards that with his asinine tunneling projects for single-occupant vehicles.

However even if you disagree with that take, the fact is, FSD is unsafe. It's kinda fun, but it's tried to kill me a few times, and there's myriad YouTube videos of it trying to kill people.

[edit] Elon's vision of the future is hardly some eco-leftist utopia. It's a fairly right-wing personal property forward world where inequality continues to be perpetrated by making people own (very expensive) electric cars to get around, and socializing the cost of free parking onto the poor. He's not a left-wing icon.

He's not a villain either, he's just a great marketer.
Just because you brought it up, sleep hasn't just worked for me on MacOS. I use to have a problem where it wouldn't connect to an external monitor again after sleep. I currently have a problem where my external keyboard isn't recognized until I unplug it and plug it back in.

I don't know that it's all that deep. Hz measure cycles, but a cycle is a movement and a reversal of that movement. It isn't like we can't see that, it's just that "simple vibrations" didn't turn out to be that useful of a term.
