The person I'm replying to said that people here ought to know what country a site is relevant to based on the ccTLD. My point is that ccTLDs get used for all kinds of reasons, most of them quite irrelevant to the country they've ostensibly been assigned to.
I hardly stored any PII. Also, this was a high profile site that you know: if it was hacked, they would probably try to deny access and extort: it would make a lot of monetary sense. We would also have lost our merchant accounts very quickly (although CC numbers were not stored, only MD5s, but i suppose they could have been captured from the application's memory after TLS decryption but before MD5 hashing, although this would have been a difficult task even on a rooted server). I am 99.999% confident by observing and recording loads, traffic, logs and other parameters of all servers that there were no intrusions. I understand that there's market size and appeal for bureaucracy and certifications, but i have my own data.
I'm reminded of this HN comment by gwd, specifically:

In superhero comic books and movies, the real superpower is certainty. The good guys always know who the bad guys are; it's just a matter of defeating them. In the real world, we have plenty of power to defeat the bad guys; it's just not always clear who the bad guys are.

The first is obviously customer error and unless you're posting to get laughed at, you're likely not to gain traction.

(Also one could make the "nobody uses Azure" joke here.)

Personally I think that much of AWS is "way overpowered" for the normal person/business, and you shouldn't be playing with it if a $X0k bill would be impactful (as likely other solutions are much better tuned to your needs and money).
I wouldn't have a clue. Short or knowing them socially, how would I know? Given they're 4 levels above me in the org (me->VP->SVP->CTO->BOD), I have zero reason to interact with them on any basis, let alone a social one.
I thought about including the "lite" websites, but decided against it since those are not the primary news reading experiences that they're pushing. What I might do is add a link to any news website that has a lite/text-only website.

I'll go ahead and say that yes, this is somewhat self-serving, but I'm hoping this puts pressure on some news websites to get their act together and make their primary news websites faster for everybody.

Edit: I've pushed out the updates

1. Individual speed reports now include a link to the text-only sites.

2. Methodology makes a mention of it at https://legiblenews.com/speed/methodology (I still need to refine it; wrote and published in haste)
After reading up on Tesla my conclusion that while he was a smart man and had a good understanding of the fundamental physics, he was likely a charlatan who took advantage of the budding electrical industry. Electricity was like the internet, it was a major turning point in human history and a lot of money was going to be made from it. It was new tech and everyone was throwing money at it. And this was the early years, before the physics was well understood. This ignorance was a good cover for charlatans looking to fool investors.

From what I gather, he was able to garner celebrity status among the wealthy businessmen and used this to his advantage. This afforded him the ability to travel and meet with other engineers and talk to them about their projects. He would then take their ideas, work or inspirations as his own and sell them to the industrialists. If the engineer cried fraud, who were they compared to the great Tesla? They were easily silenced or ignored. This is why I think he died penniless: As the industry matured and more people gained knowledge, Tesla's outlandish claims could no longer attract investors. This is why his later inventions were more and more outlandish, he was getting desperate.

Interesting.

Honestly, I never notice load times from news sites because they're all an advertising cesspool and I run Brave + layered ad blockers on my computer and mobile devices. As a point of curiosity I wonder how these sites would compare with ad blocking enabled.

But at the end of the day I care a lot more about their serious, reliable content (or lack thereof) than a few milliseconds. I'll wait 3 seconds for good news rather than 200ms for trash.

(Not at all saying legiblenews.com is trash. I've honestly never heard of it. I'm just speaking in general terms here.)
Are you seriously telling me you can't use whatever braincells you have left to come up with a few situations where a woman pregnant with a child and a born child are different? Really?
> So what you're saying is, only things that are born matter if you kill them?

No, I'm not saying that at all, I'm saying your analogies are idiotic, since acorns don't correspond to foetuses - almost no acorns end up as trees.

> Also, that's now how potatoes work. You harvest them after the plant has died.

It was your analogy, not mine. If potatoes are only harvested when dead, how could eating them possibly be murder?

Getting back to the actual question, I don't think a baby is more alive or more human because it has left the womb, or because you've cut the umbilical cord.

If someone stabs a pregnant woman in the belly so that her foetus dies, but she survives, would you agree that he has killed her baby, or has he only harmed her?
The challenge with serverless is building systems that rely on more complex backend processes and existing code and doing things like testing using most of an existing codebase. Serverless is great for nodejs/javascript stacks that are database and front-end heavy but don't need more complexity like queueing, event streaming, or more complex architectures. Then serverless becomes a huge mess normally and the developer experience becomes a giant catastrophe, as well.

Here the OP kind of got caught by the terrible DX that is almost natural to serverless IMO.

Thanks for the post. I've been meaning to write up remote nix builders on macOS, especially now that going cross-OS (and cross-arch) is increasingly common, though still possible! Perhaps I'll try your tutorial with my builders and see how it goes.

It's also ignoring the large number of Californians moving to Alabama. The fact is California is too big to generalize and that's true of most states.

ECS runs on EC2. You basically register available servers and ECS automatically puts containers onto the instances where space is available.

We have it setup with Github actions to automatically deploy to ECS as well.
I just don't see other races or genders described in that manner when a individual member of a group acts in a particular way.

News websites with JavaScript disabled can be a pleasure:

And typically with much lower latency/request times.

GCP functions, AWS Lambdas, etc... my anecdotal experience is that they are way slower for request times vs a $20 VPS running the exact same workload.

> With all due respect and no offense intended, your perspective sounds a lot like "I've never attempted to scale so I can't understand the problems"

With all due respect, I don't think you've ever actually put together a local cluster.

A simple 4 machine k8s cluster sitting literally on dirt in my basement can scale out to the equivalent of thousands of dollars of AWS spend a month. I broke even on the initial purchase outlay for my workloads in less than a year.

The problems are almost never scaling the web servers. The problem is scaling the infrastructure that those servers need to be useful.

Generally - your DB is the first pain point, your network is the next.

If you can run it in a container, that service probably isn't the bottleneck for scaling, it's going to be whatever is providing the persistent disk for that service, and the network between the two.

Both of those things happen to also be fairly expensive to scale in the cloud as well.
One company I worked for had an employee's only "coffee shop" because they claimed that they wanted only good coffee. They charged Starbucks style prices, but if you brought a company mug (and when you were hired you were given exactly one, but you could buy more at retail costs) you could get black coffee for "only" $1.

It doesn't matter how good your beans are or how far they are driven in if you are still just making industrial sized carafes of black coffee. The "mandatory" company mug becomes a symbol of control (among others; the company had some strict rules about desk adornments). The "coffee shop" mentality creates the cashier flow and long lines of an actual coffee shop, with the even more awkwardness that any conversations are in full view of your bosses (all the way up the chain) because they chose to subject themselves to this too "for good beans" every morning.

I learned a lot from that job, including how often what people say they want ("quality") is a mask for what they really want ("control"). I'm not sure I'd ever again choose to work for a company where making coffee at home and bringing it in the travel mug of your choosing was a small daily act of rebellion.
As an OSU Alum, it's embarrassing how much of a cult mentality exists around OSU sports. This is literally the dumbest use of university resources and reflects what the admin (an ever growing, bloated bureaucracy) considers important.

Very much this. I worry that those relatively new to this industry may now only have seen the leetcode-style interview disfunction madness and get the impression it's the only way.

Absolutely not! It's not how it used to be, it's not how it needs to be. I was closing in on 20 years into my career before ever hearing about this type of whiteboard algorithm memorization-style interview. It's common now, but it's not really normal and shouldn't be.

I for one take no part in that charade. I interview a lot of people and have never done a whiteboard algorithm dump question and never will.

I don't hire people to memorize algorithms from a book and write them on whiteboards all day, so I'm not going to interview for that irrelevant skill.

> > "I didn't know if I could raise a child by myself."

I/could/raise (by myself)

Instead try:

Child/could/be (by myself?)

This is entirely unrealistic and totally detached from reality. Someone like Travis Kalanick simply cannot reply to everyone who emails him. He literally wouldn't have enough time to do that if he just replied to emails 24/7/365, along with the work associated with replying to those emails, which is often way more than the time to write a response.

The truth is, most people don't value your time because you don't deserve their time. I don't mean this in a judgmental way. It's a cold hard fact of reality. If I emailed Mark Cuban, the President of the United States, or Jeff Bezos and they didn't respond to me, that doesn't logically make them narcissistic assholes (they may or may not be, I don't know, but whether they are or aren't is entirely independent of their responsiveness to my cold outreach email). The fact that they didn't respond to my email doesn't make them assholes and it doesn't make me any less of a human being. There's no need to get emotional or moralistic about this.

Your suggestion to acknowledge the email is even worse, because they'd be dishonest by saying that they'd get back to you later. As I pointed out earlier, they literally do not have the time to respond to every email if they spent every minute of their lives doing so.

When it comes to trying to get in touch with someone whose attention is valuable, it's best to put your ego aside.

The Wikipedia page that I linked provides a thorough explanation as to why corporations are considered citizens, so I do believe it directly answers the question. In this light, it was not intended as an appeal to authority.

Personally, I think the status quo is entirely and grossly unjustifiable. Citizens United needs to be overturned; corporations are not people and do not deserve the same rights as individuals. My opinion on that matter does not change the reality that they are considered such and only serves to confuse the matter.

Securing Ansible with a Zero Trust Overlay

The power dynamic is important. A substantial part of my job is getting answers or actions out of busy people who are above me on the totem pole. When the recipient is more important than you, it doesn't matter if they have poor inbox management. It's on you to communicate in whatever way gets your desired result. That may mean following up with multiple E-mails. It may mean chats. It may mean a phone call or face to face conversation. You have to adapt to the recipient.

If I send a busy manager an E-mail asking for information or for approval to do something or whatever, and they don't respond, it could be any of:

1. They have poor inbox management and missed it

2. They go through their E-mail infrequently

3. They don't care as much as I do, or have no incentive to respond

4. They don't want to do what I'm asking for

5. They don't like me and actively don't want to help

The reason doesn't matter. In all cases, I didn't do my job (get whatever it is I need), and so it is still my responsibility to follow up and either hound more, change my communication style, address whatever problem prevents them from engaging, or whatever it takes. If I fail to get an answer, the consequences are not on them, they're on me.
Everyone I know knew, but we live in Europe. Your mileage may vary depending on where you live.
Yes. Email on the internet is still best-effort delivery after all. If someone suspects an email somehow didn't get delivered that's a whole different situation.

Whether or not a response is expected depends on whether the respondee made their expectation clear, if it isn't implicitly clear given context. Otherwise response is at the discretion of the responder.

Like duh right? I'm remarking for the benefit of those that haven't yet had much exposure to discourse particularly among computing professionals on the internet. Expect for people to vary in their expectations, but this attitude of entitlement, expecting others to "earn" their attention is completely back-to-front. That burns people every time, and they're usually oblivious to it happening.

A lot of the value of various languages is in the cultural nuances that are both expressed by the language and a part of it. Sometimes the nuances are in the spoken form, and properly understanding all the nuances would require living among the culture.

A translator program might be an interesting project in some other ways, and I guess technology might help some people get involved with the language or help bridge the gap. A translator doesn't really solve the problem, though.

I disagreed at first read, but you're right. These questions are geared for tech interviews in a startup environment, which assumes the candidate can take on risk. So why not grab for the brass ring?

If you want a regular no-risk paycheque then check out government jobs. Runway? Oh yeah we've been collecting taxes for centuries. Product-market fit? Yeah, we have these big guys with badges and guns who will come to your house if you "don't fit." We pay an absolute pittance compared to private, but your job will be there your entire working life.
You make a good point, I hadn't considered the legal aspect yet. My contract has an IP clause, and using my personal hardware violates it.
yeah, totally understand. i don't think this is the best and final form of onboarding, but we decided to use this approach to 1) do a better job matching 2) eliminate irrelevant jobs.

there are lots of job boards out there with tons of jobs. even if we have thousands of roles on the platform, we want you to see only ones that were made to feel like they're perfectly suited to you.

the implementation of what you're asking for sounds like Indeed or LI, which imo, surface pretty subpar jobs and none that are that relevant for me.
If AWS wanted to, they could absolutely implement a hard cap. It's not like letting some services run for a few hours until billing catches up costs them a lot of money.

What is true--not necessarily in order is:

- I suspect AWS in aggregate probably makes a fair bit of money on overages that a user eats but would have had a hard circuit in place if they could have, and

- Even reasonably designed hard circuit breakers (e.g. we cut off access to your stateful data unless you pay your bill but we won't delete it for 30 days) are still giving developers a potentially well-hidden foot-gun for a production environment that management might not actually want.

They controlled by excluding patients if:

"they had a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), encephalopathy, or dementia of any cause during the look-back period, or if they filled a prescription for a medication indicated for AD"

Therefore they didnt exclude patients with early signs of cognitive impairment (because it is not possible to do so, because it is not recorded anywhere)
