Terraform is a configuration language over the top of providers that expose their own abstractions.

The first thing to realize about using Terraform is that _you_ can extend it with your own providers written in a language like Go and _you_ can cobble together your own modules written in the TF configuration language to orchestrate multiple providers or do repeatable work. There are really solid open-source modules for AWS operations that smooth out the kinks in the AWS API.

Second, use state and check it into an S3/R2 bucket. Keep your TF scripts in Git, and check them in too after changes. Make a checklist of what steps you take each time you modify a resource (first in the script, then in the state/live).

Third, learn the command line tools used to fix horked state deployments. It'll happen from time to time, and there are GOOD tools that already exist to fix issues. Also, the state is JSON, and you _can_ edit it by hand if you need to get something to work.

Remote cloud provider configuration is a complex problem space akin to programming-at-a-distance. It's hard because APIs are trash, APIs go down or flap in the middle of action, and APIs are slow, so debugging is tricky. Early on, a full tear down and rebuild policy helps, but quickly the slow APIs/slow cloud operations make you more reluctant to start from scratch.

Oh, and databases require a completely different management approach.

That said, I still endorse Terraform over Pulumi or the AWS CDK.
This is just arbitrage, and has very little to do with HFT. In a normal market, scalpers don’t exist because when products are flying off the shelves you either raise your prices or increase your production. Game console companies are for some reason unwilling to sell their consoles at auction (which would eliminate scalpers) or increase production so an arbitrage opportunity is born
My initial thought was 'Again?' But then I looked and realized that this is the same remake I was thinking of and has been listed on Steam since at least 2016.
> it raises the standard of living for those who aren’t yet born

assuming by standard of living we mean quality of life: to accept this one must ignore or rationalize the ways our pursuit of GDP growth is making the planet a less hospitable place for the yet unborn

if instead we mean material expectations, then yes, you're right, but part of the problem is our rapidly growing accustomed to lifestyles that can't be sustained under the present matrix of social and physical technology

Valgrind is easier, but for real-time applications I've found that it takes a huge performance hit for some reason, at least the last time I used it.

80% of Google's revenue comes from its ad business. Maybe we should be thinking of Google primarily as an advertising company.
So, what do they mean by that sentence?
More information on the exact ad campaign run would make it easier to understand all this. Who where they targeting? What was the max cost per impression? You might not like Yahoo! or Foxnews but surely if your ad campaign is such that Google thinks your target audience can be found there, they should show your ad there?
Green is in the middle of the spectrum so it is the best for detecting amount of light. Color is determined by the G-R and G-B ratios.

There are sensors with more esoteric Bayer filters, like to better capture in low light there are sensors which replace one of the G's with an N (neutral light / "no" color filter)

Adding a constant to exponential growth is absurd. Each 1% increase is more potent than the next.
Not everyone can manage a database properly and, sorry to say this to you but, Docker is a terrible idea for a database in general. Setting up your own database somewhere still puts your trivial data on someone else's server more or less.

All these "Serverless" keywords pretty much mean you don't have to be spinning up servers (cloud) or setting up & maintaining one. Nothing is "Serverless" per-se so it's time to move on from picking on this, I agree, bad choice of words.
Primary school was good. However, in middle and high school, most teachers didn't seem to have much interest in teaching. Too many teachers have picked the wrong profession, and are in denial about it.

Disinformation apparently now means information you disagree with.

The author is publishing sites on the list that are right-leaning publications. There are many numbers on the list they seem to be skipping (how many of these may be more left or far left sites?).

Totally agree. All these teams down in the weeds are obsessed with following the rituals to a tee thinking that makes them good little devs. When the whole point is so the middle and upper managements can track your activity to the minute and judge your performance.
> Neon allows to instantly branch your Postgres database to support a modern development workflow. You can create a branch for your test environments for every code deployment in your CI/CD pipeline.

> Branches are virtually free and implemented using the "copy on write" technique.

Unless I missed that everyone supports this, this here could be a killer feature and should be advertised higher.
I do. There are real benefits to using a hosted server for large projects (think hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes of data) because getting sharding, fallbacks, and downtimeless maintenance right is difficult, risky, and expensive.

These are reasons why one might go for a hosted database at AWS/GCE/Azure. There are tons of good servers out there for small to medium projects and I don't think this service is right for those, unless they can make do with the free tier. The real benefit is in the larger cloud application space.

A system that does this type of scaling automatically while also reducing the dependency on a single cloud provider's service can be a gamechanger for some companies with huge database servers that risk getting locked in.

I think using this service for most existing applications will introduce a performance drop, a rise in expenses, and a complicated migration path, but on the other hand I think that developing against this system for new projects that are very likely to grow in scale will end up with some major data control benefits.

The open source nature also allows for competitors in markets like the EU to start serving databases that don't break privacy laws (although most companies don't care until they receive a fine).

I'm not sure how this company will become profitable while giving away its special sauce that can be modified to run at competing companies relatively easily, but that's a whole different story.
> By that logic, nobody is allowed to controls the means by which their software is run.

As far as I know, this is true.

No law says I have to, AFAIK.

There’s no law I know which gives authors this right of deciding whether anyone has the right to run the software.

> or if they're allowed to (legally) copy it, etc.

Copying is regulated by copyright law. But once I have acquired a copy, what law disallows me from running that copy however I want?

Yahoo as top result - Yahoo is the largest site that you can place just regular Google ads on by traffic[1]. The larger sites either require you to work with them (Facebook, Instagram), have custom ads setup (Google Search), mainly do video ads (YouTube) or don't have ads (Wikipedia).

Fox News - Anecdotally, conservatives share fox links much more than other people share e.g. CNN links. It would not surprise me if Fox did have much higher traffic than other news sources combined. Especially if a lot of other advertisers are using blocklists to avoid them, then having no blocklists would get you more of that traffic too.

Really the only bit that's surprising here is the large "Anonymous" traffic. My experience here is from a Google competitor and at least when I was there we certainly did not have the market influence to get away without disclosing what sites we were running on (and it seems futile anyway as advertisers tend to use brand safety and other vendors to make sure that the sites they're running on are the same as the adtech companies tell them)

The home button gets translated to "at home". There's actually a ton of badly translated text. It might seem only a bit silly, but it's really a bad low-code demo.
AFAIK, many jurisdictions have rules clarifying that any incidental copies, like installing it, or copying it to RAM, or to the various CPU and SSD caches, are necesssary for the operation of the software, and are therefore not counted as breaches of copyright.

If this was not so, copyright holders could sue all the router and switch operators in the world for copying pirated works by merely having the network packets temporarily in their packet buffers.
Central banks are just actors dressed up in fancy credentials. They are ultimately meaningless institutions. Yes they control the interest rate and they can do QE but the commercial banks and federal government wield at least ten times more power in economics alone.

Did you follow the link to understand what the change is, and why they made it? [link]

This isn’t some sweeping rewrite of an entire subsystem for the fourth time (I’m looking at you, Angular); it’s just changing React’s synthetic events to be attached to the react tree’s root node in the DOM instead of directly on the document. They have always been on the document until now. So there is no “still deciding” flip-floppery here, there was a single decision made to better support developers by making one low-impact change. How low-impact?

> We’ve only had to change fewer than twenty components out of 100,000+ in the Facebook product code to work with these changes…[link]

React is very good about semantic versioning. This change, small as it is, is a breaking change for a very small number of users. And that’s why it gets a new major version number.

Yeah, it's nice. I don't know what it would be like in a language with a weak/no type system (e.g. JS) though, probably annoying.
This has been going on for a decade. This is basically a form of economic terrorism wherein left-wing activists use an easily influenceable platform like Google [employees], mere market makers, to prevent ad dollars from flowing to viewpoints they dislike. They basically want companies like Ford to involuntarily be denied access to their. . . you know. . . customers.

Sorry, "CheckMyAds.org," lots of Ford truck buyers are conservatives. That's normal. You're harming Ford, harming consumers, increasingly harming Google itself, and also increasingly not harming the viewpoints you are seeking to harm. Best to give up this particularly Orwellian tactic.
Thank you for the correction. In hindsight I sound foolish: e.g. sign-language interpreters keep up with the speech they are translating, eh?
AWS already has Aurora, which is their own in-house closed-source variant that does very similar things.

We think we'll be able to provide a better experience at lower cost for smaller developers, while having some very useful quality-of-life features like zero-cost branching and instant PITR.
good points

also related to circular economics is the principle that tools should be easy to supersede when we discover undesirable side effects or invent new techniques

we build software to be easy to refactor, we might benefit from building societies and technologies with this in mind as well

an atmosphere full of carbon is not easy to deprecate, nor are pervasive hydrocarbon infrastructure, urban areas designed around the automobile, etc

before we deploy something at scale it may be wise to have some idea how to gracefully roll it back or put something else in its place

That's where the separation of storage and compute kicks in, I guess. Startup process of our Postgres instance (compute node) is a bit different from vanilla Postgres. We need to go to the network storage service (pageserver and safekeepers) to get the last known commit LSN, but we don't need to perform any sort of recovery on the compute node side. That way, compute is mostly stateless.

Basically, to start we need to know this LSN and to bootstrap the Postgres processes. This is really that quick. After that compute is ready to accept connections and serve requests, as it's able to get any missing pages from pageserver with GetPage@LSN request.

We do have the whole bunch of problems to solve: queries latency after cold start; startup after the unexpected exit of the heavily loaded Postgres instance could be slower; etc.

Money talks. Google is not going to change. They are a public corporation whose ultimate motive is profit. Stop giving money to those corporations whose business model you disagree with. The question for the marketer is: Can you still be successful without Google Ads? If the answer is no, then you have already lost as you feel you are bound, and you are because you choose to be.

I say re-invent the marketing wheel. Grassroots, guerrilla-style advertising. What is that? I don't know, you're the marketer.

For what it's worth, I moved to the United States at some point halfway to adulthood, and I felt the way you describe for about eight years. It took me about three to grok the language, but where I landed was so culturally homogeneous and alien that every day I dreamed of moving back.

It took me moving to a different state (and a very diverse city) to be able to find places where I felt a little closer to belonging. I'm not sure where in Japan you are, but I wonder if certain places or even neighborhoods might be a little easier to integrate into from the start than others?

In any case, I think conversations about whether the relationship is right or not are a little beside the point. You have a child together! Continue doing what you feel is right (i.e., it seems – trying to make it so that your daughter has a father figure for at least a little while in her formative life). I really wish mine had done that. I wouldn't focus on whether you'll stay in Japan permanently or not – just one step at a time for now, and you can always move back in a few years. Maybe your wife will follow you back just as you followed her this time, maybe not, but at least you'll have made some cherished memories with your daughter.

This seems like someone set out to be outraged and succeeded. Is it surprising that, if you put no limits on where Google places ads, some of the places they end up have politics you don't agree with, and others are probably low-quality ad views? If the most they have to complain about in a completely untargeted ad campaign is that #1 is a dying media company, #2 is an unclear category, and they disagree with the politics of numbers 5, 24, 58, and 61, I'd say they came through pretty well.

Google has problems, but this article doesn't really communicate any of them.

It’s much much more complicated than that. They do typically use CPUs but there are many reasons for it. Starting with the fact that the path tracing algorithm is quite different when it runs on a CPU than on a GPU because thread divergence is a fundamental aspect of that formula. Second, the vast memory requirements are much easier to handle on a CPU than a GPU. There’s also the decades of man hours spent on the CPU code that is not so instantly ported to GPUs. Honestly this list goes on and on.
