It's been a while since I read such a long and detailed blog post (a 6 month effort according to OP).

> With the default limits, Lambda scales to 3 000 containers in a couple of seconds. That means that with default limits, we get 30 TB of memory and 18 000 vCPUs in a couple of seconds.

> With a legitimate workload and increased limits, as we just saw, we are now living in a world where we can instantly get 150 TB of RAM and 90 000 vCPUs for our apps

Going from 0 to 150TB instantly is powerful, but I don't think there is anybody that needs that.
Neat idea! It would also be nice to be able to exclude certain "stacks" - e.g., I want nothing to do with cryptocurrency.
EIDAS Regulation
We have had years of these social media "who deserves to get banned" discussions. Not once has it been a good counter-argument to post someone else seemingly breaking rules getting away with it. It rarely, extremely rarely, is a response to someone who actually has power to perform moderation. It implies that the person you are replying to is somehow biased towards something or someone when in reality

a) it's likely they have never heard of this counter-argument case you are linking, and

b) even if they have heard about it they are not a member of SocialMediaSite's content moderation team.
Precisely. If anything, session recordings are one of the least invasive forms of tracking because they restrict data collection to what you do on the website you're visiting.

They don't record information typed into forms, e.g. addresses, emails, CC numbers. Well, some don't record by default, with others you have to specify that manually.

Either way, it's better than a Facebook or Twitter Like buttons that infest the web and connect your visits with that site to your Twitter/FB account.
It's about valuable work, not hard work. Valuable as in what other people are willing to pay for your labor, whether it's physically demanding or not.
> which part of the text

Well, there is a big image below, visually more impactive than the pasted paragraph, that goes "Messages from bigger services #do not# display their numbers". Yes, but neither do scammers.

You are trying to discriminate legitimate entities L from impersonators L̅ through properties P, and especially define ways to identify L̅. You state that P(L), but that says nothing of L̅. And in fact, it is P(L̅) also - logical exhaustion.

Logically the sentence works, because it implies "If messages display their numbers, they are not from bigger services". But in terms of effectiveness in communication, if put in the context of "how to recognize a scammer", the original may be misleading - because there (see the picture) you are focusing on the alphanumeric, not on the number, and the alphanumeric is not a criterion - the number is.

The intention was to state "do not trust numbers". But in that context it is important to stress "do not trust alphanumericals either".
What I meant is, it makes sense that people in free market economies would value free markets.

Of course effort isn’t always positively correlated with income.

The question is whether or not the prosperity resulting from innovation and risk-taking in such a system is worth the trade-off of unevenly distributed wealth. I think a good argument could be made in the affirmative, but it’s not exactly a settled economic question.
LOL they lend to democracies in third world countries like mine where the money goes straight to the cronies at the top (Panama; I know the term is outdated but us third-worlders call our countries third-world).

My wife worked for a Ministry here and saw how the world bank shoved loans on non-functioning institutions and charged my country interest ON THE AVAILABLE FUNDS (like a credit line but it doesn't matter if you use it or not) despite them being executed or not.

I dont know wtf these people are doing, but benevolent they are not.
It would be a surprise to anyone not very familiar with C++'s strict-aliasing rule, which I imagine is quite a lot of people (and even many C++ programmers...)

Very few other languages have a similar rule (eg. Rust explicitly does not have this rule)
If somebody truly creates value out of thin air, then they deserve to be heard.
I know this sounds cold, but I feel like some of these scams are really just a stupidity tax. How do people operate in the outside world if they believe that the CEO would be hitting them up for gift cards?

That’s a very generous assessment. You could also consider them to be in the propaganda business, where the mere act of publishing a negative report is more important than the correctness of what’s inside. The latter doesn’t affect their outcomes if the market has already being influenced by the news.

As evidenced by the comment that originated this thread, and currently sits at #1 in this discussion.
Mayor of chicago said yesterday overturning roe vs wade is a call to arms.

Still on twitter.
Which is a strange thing to claim because e.g. in Germany, Protestants and Catholics "coexist in the successful European model", whatever that means. Claims of "can only thrive" are trivially refuted by counterexamples.
Startups are not safe right now unless you are ok with the high risk of losing your job.
Purity comes at a cost.

Along with "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly", the
knowledge that "God sees everywhere", is a snippet of Protestant
work-lore from my childhood. Why clean the above the shelf where
nobody can see? God can see it. Why paint behind the radiator? God
knows if you didn't.

Despite inevitable teenage atheism, minor deities, duly internalised
as persecutory consciences, still followed me around inspecting
various pieces of work. While never actually obsessive, it took me
another decade to shake-off the orderliness that might keep me awake
worrying if cables were not properly coiled, or wondering what
happened to that one missing screw after reassembling something.

Mostly recovered, I embrace the chaos these days. When fussing about a
job I can call it "diligence". The downside is that it tends to slow
you down. Never really held down a straight "coding" job for long,
because writing programs that work even if God turned up to check the
source code and run some unit tests is a tall order.

Like the OP, for me it's enjoyable hand crafting little things to
solve problems. Minimalism, elegance and neatness is a matter of
pride. And like the OP, my inner code fascist feels a sense of
disgust at ugly, wasteful machine generated goo that spews forth in
every modern project. Opening any modern web page is like triggering a
spring loaded jack-in-a-box filled with rotting entrails as some cruel
practical joke.
Just like it was for all the other crypto brokers that went down, exactly like that ;-)

I might tone it down just a bit to "Somewhat unlikely to happen. Today."
What does it say about the state of our ability to assess what is right or wrong that a requirement for something to be morally right is that it is said in a friendly way?
To me it seems like the opposite of a collective political shift. It's more like one individual opposing the status quo.
I believe they're referring to the old SunOS (at least) convention that /sbin was for utilities that could be run during the boot process before /usr was mounted. These tended to need to be statically linked, as the .so libraries were all under /usr. SunOS was how I learned the Unix filesystem layout, but of course that means a lot of my ideas of what "should" be where are outdated at this point.

Wasn't Biden president when Trump was banned from Twitter?
My anxiety when reading news online or listening to radio went noticeably down when Donald Trump was banned from Twitter, and I don't live in the US. I entirely agree with you.
If you go down the page, there's a "webring" logo, taking you to plenty of different websites, an excellent rabbit hole to fall into.

Which ones, and from which court were such judgements made?
In America it's called politics

Apologies to those not afflicted with the Star Trek franchise. To the rest: how did you like the Strange New Worlds pilot?
Trump should have been banned before even running for office? Oh is that how it works now in Silicon Valley? Can we just ban all right wing politicians from twitter so they don't get elected? Sounds like democracy!
That is a technicality. You cannot convict the President of anything (he controls enforcement of the laws, has pardon power, etc.). The senate would need to impeach him, remove him from office (which would never happen due to Republican opposition), then convict him as a private citizen (which would never happen due to political norms).

Whoa, love the "hot re-loading" on edit. It's super fun but as there's no undo, kind of live coding with no safety net.

I use Inigo Quilez' Graph Toy as well. I figure combing the two into a pipeline, one to generate interesting looking (implicit surface) functions, and one to visualize them in a voxel system with monte carlo rendering is sort of the viz tool I'm evolving toward. Shader toy requires so much code for rapid prototyping because everyone has to constantly re-invent everything from scratch! It's a unified shading model sans standard lib ;)
income inequality isn't necessarily bad, "neoliberalism" has lifted millions out of poverty, and poverty as an absolute value is what actually matters.

Abandoned Cart is a good example. It takes the email address if it's been filled out and auto-sends a reminder email later.

Not really the same thing as taking your payment and address information and sending it to some guy in a basement. Half-complete or incorrect data isn't an issue any company wants to deal with. Abandoned Cart functionality makes money, so that's why it's included.
Anyone know where we can get the data from if we want to have a play ourselves?
An army, like a militia, would fall under "collective right". So I don't see how their stance is against standing armies.

Re: redraft, I go back and forth. I think if we want to be textualists then we need a redraft because the founders couldn't possibly have envisioned the modern world. The idea of redrafting isn't that radical -- Thomas Jefferson wanted it [1].

But pragmatically, I don't think we'll ever redraft it. Both liberals and conservatives would have to agree to a redraft (they won't) and then agree on what the new draft would be (they won't). The only way to modernize the Constitution and Bill of Rights is to interpret it using a modern lens. "What would this document mean if it was written with today's world in mind?"

How should Apple be broken up to make it more competitive? Should they break up Apple into operating systems and hardware and force Apple to license iOS? Should they break Apple up into a computer company and a phone company? Should they create a separate company for computers , iPads, and phones?

If they break Apple up and force it to license it’s operating system, how does that make Apple products better for the end users instead of worse just like Android?

And nothing came of the MS suit. To this day, IE is bundled with Windows and always was.
IMO the dark pattern here is that they ask for money and also show ads. I assume they still show ads to subscribers given their magazine roots (they don't list "no ads" as a benefit). I'm willing to pay for services but not if they still attempt to show me ads.
With OpenBox (linux window manager thing ... included in eg LXDE) there is a configuration option called "Focus new windows when they appear". You can uncheck that (have not tried it myself).
How to find a job as Software Developer in Switzerland (step by step guide)
My favourite of the classic Viz classified adverts:

"Want to stop being gullible? Find out how, send £4000 to Box 6, Wakefield"
This is classic HN stuff, I find it actually valuable to see an explicit enumeration of all possible interpretations of some statement, also somewhat humorous.
Before this turns into a culture-war-fest consider this: if Twitter is to be a global platform, it probably should NOT take political sides and if it is to censor anyone permanently, it should mostly adhere to local courts and similar entities. It's not about Trump or United States. It's about everyone else.

World is a really messy place. It's not very easy generally to decided if in a political conflict one or other party has moral high ground. For instance we have several Nobel peace price winners now participating in plausible genocide (Aung Sang Suu Kyi and Abiy Ahmed). Who has the moral high ground? I have no frigging idea, but I don't think an unelected corporation should decide either.

If Twitter takes the side Trump is a crook and should be perma-banned, this creates a precedent for silencing the voices of opposition voices around the globe.

Edit: I mean in the context if Twitter is designed to be a fair medium for anyone to express themselves. Of course it does not have to be like that and can block anyone without infringing anyones rights as such.
But OP is talking about the opposite. Something available only in Julia, that was wrapped for python users.
Just one more reason to leave javascript disabled. Demand user agents that represent the user.
I would say the big difference now is incentive. Lithium Ion batteries are the biggest bottleneck to mass EV adoption. With every car company going Electric, it's a very pertinent problem to solve. You can't really get "Gen2" Electric Vehicles without this tech.
Note: This is the dpkg maintainer arguing an apparently fairly unpopular position of linking the specific files inside of /bin instead of /bin directly, in opposition to what appears to be the majority of linux distros.

He's even added a warning to dpkg and a "usrunmess" tool to switch a system to his preferred way of doing things.

It's not clear to me where the breakage lies and I've not seen any actual reports of it.

For more context see https://lwn.net/Articles/890219/
I don't think you have read much of the former president's writings or heard any of his speeches if you think this tone is "not much different".
I agree, autofocusing a search field that's in the header of every page is not generally appropriate, but that's not specifically about accessibility. It would be annoying for anyone on a mobile device (keyboard pops up on every page), and the focus ring and/or blinking cursor would be distracting.

What about cases where it is appropriate to autofocus the search input (as it's the primary action on the page) but where there also might (sometimes) be an important text notice above the search input? Sighted users would see the notice fine, while screenreader users would be 'teleported' (MDN's word) straight past it, missing the notice.
Not yet. In any case, Presidents retain their title as President for life.
After giving up the siege of Kyiv. And everywhere in the north of the country.

Going by https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1524358910190174208/pho... , what appears to have happened is that they've been successful in pushing out from regions they already control in the south and east, while losing badly in the attack from Belarus in the north. The Ukrainians are successfully pushing them back in a roughly clockwise direction. Kharkiv and Izium next.

What happens over the medium term depends on what Russia has in reserve that actually works, and what the West has in reserve that it's willing to ship to Ukraine. Then it comes to the question of replacement. How much can Russia manufacture without Western high-tech inputs?

I wouldn't rule out the ability of Western governments to send "little green men" of their own, beyond the current few tiktok tourists that have gone there on their own initiative.
Changing your mind is not hypocrisy. Look it up.
> Wired is not trying to sell to you.

> You clicked a link to a Wired article that someone posted on Hacker News. Wired was not involved.

Well, to some extent, I'd argue they _are_ trying to sell to him. From everything I've seen the whole "display the whole page of content and then block with javascript" is done so that the whole page of content gets indexed by Google. If so, then they are intentionally trying to lure non-customers to their site with that content. Admittedly, coming from HN isn't exactly the same, but it's the same general audience of non-subscribers they want to come look at their content and subscribe.
Somehow that’s even less comforting….

But I suppose that’s the rabbit hole crypto fans go down.

I believe it was Emerson that said "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of not selling out"
What if we just decline income equality as a meaningful or valuable ideal at all? Full income equality is not a viable or desirable outcome, and it seems like a distraction from solvable problems like political and institutional corruption - paid for out of funds collected under the pretext of policies to combat said inequality.

The word and concept is even a second order artifact of the belief in a zero-sum human economy, and an idea whose goal is to centralize power and resources into the very institutions whose corruption it moralizes. The Gini coefficient is no better than a horoscope, and arguably, "income inequality" isn't meaningful as a thing.

What is more plausible? That most of the people who take risks to build businesses do so from an exploitative and evil urge, or that a few performers like Piketty, Varafoukis, Krugman and the Greek chorus of lazy ideologues who talk, write, and flatter for a living are self dealing? The word itself is a begged question, and accepting its negative definition as a premise makes any logic built on that idea seem internally consistent because it will always sound "good" because it is "against bad."

Merely being anti-bad is not even rationally ethical, it just means one has been folded into a mob that doesn't actually believe anything - they're just against the representation of a bad thing. It's easier to believe than accepting we've been tricked, but please, enough.
Thiel (+ the rest of the board) fired Musk from his CEO position at PayPal.

I'm pretty sure Musk would ignore any phone calls from Thiel.

Furthermore, Thiel didn't make Musk rich. When PayPal was sold to eBay Musk was the single largest shareholder of PayPal, which should tell you who was the most responsible for PayPal's success.

Sorry, I meant $3.5m for the hospital. The amount that Amber received was $7m tax free that would be split between the two, $500k for attorney fees, and ~$14m communal labilities to be paid by Depp. $7m + ~$14m + $500k + taxes is quite a lot for a 15 month long marriage
Upstart Q1 2022 Earnings: it's tough to be a lender without a balance sheet
It's a useful budgeting tool. It's not like there is one "government bank account" that every agency and bureaucrat shares.

In the US, agencies can end up with surplus cash (either taxes were higher than needed, or budgets were off, etc). Agencies will buy T bonds with this excess cash to transfer it back to the Treasuries general fund, so it can be reallocated. The T bonds that the agency now holds are far from "meaningless".

From a thousand foot view, the government is one homogenous entity. But that perspective breaks down pretty quickly in the real world. It's pretty easy to find Intragovernmental debt stats and subtract that from the total, if you are so inclined.

Usually, people are concern with the total liability of a government. You can't dismiss intragovernmental debt in this calculation.
I fully support suspensions, particularly in this case. However, I don't believe a permanent ban for illegal activity is ever warranted, and particularly not in cases where (unfortunately) no guilty verdict was ever given.

I think it's fundamentally not an issue with right/left politics but of subtle philosophical differences over speech, society, and technology. If twitter has a certain form of monopoly on some aspect of public discourse then it's (arguably) in the public good to keep people on it by default. "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" kind of thinking.
It's because modern client-side frameworks like react or vue use javascript for routing, and in fact storing every character in a form as you type it is a basic design principle in such frameworks. If you are curious, you can install their respective dev tool extensions so you can tell at a glance which framework a website is using by checking which button lights up in the browser toolbar.

I like the uBlock Origin toggle myself, aka the "naughty website gets no javascript" button.
Wouldn't that be what is beneficial for them to say about each other, in public? I honestly don't know what to think any more about anyone who has obtained massive amounts of money.
D1: Our SQL database
"They started by downloading all the equations in Wikipedia. They then statistically analyzed those equations to see what types are most common. This allowed them to ensure that the algorithm’s initial guesses would be straightforward — making it more likely to try out a plus sign than a hyperbolic cosine, for instance. The algorithm then generated variations of the equations using a random sampling method that is mathematically proven to explore every nook and cranny in the mathematical landscape."

Wikipedia contains equations from many different branches of math.

Aren't mathematical equations written in all sorts of notations (really obscure notations sometimes, for obscure branches of math), depending on the branch of math they're used in?

How would this program even be able to use equations written in a notation it doesn't understand? Even if it somehow understood the notation, that doesn't mean the algorithm understood the branch of math the equation was for.

This all sounds unworkable to me, unless they're somehow limiting the equations they use to some branch of math they already understand.
