No problem! There's a static site generator called Publii that I tried once that was a simple "download linux(/win/mac) package, used a GUI to import posts from wordpress, and used the same GUI to post/deploy with two clicks."

Very doable with 10 minutes of training (or far less if you know your way around things). (The app didn't work ultimately for me for text-focused reasons but it was the closest thing yet.)

Couldn't see why a very simple GUI wouldn't be the game changer.
Because of unfamiliarity? A lot of keyboard nerds are now using this style, so to them it wouldn't be unfamiliar.

> But copyright law only protects “the fruits of intellectual labor” that “are founded in the creative powers of the [human] mind.” COMPENDIUM (THIRD) § 306 (quoting Trade-Mark Cases, 100 U.S. 82, 94 (1879)); see also COMPENDIUM (THIRD) § 313.2 (the Office will not register works “produced by a machine or mere mechanical process” that operates “without any creative input or intervention from a human author” because, under the statute, “a work must be created by a human being”). So Thaler must either provide evidence that the Work is the product of human authorship or convince the Office to depart from a century of copyright jurisprudence.

There's only one SIMD loop - a 128-bit one. There's a 64-bit SIMD segment for handling handling when the tail has ≥8 items (which is gonna be a pretty decent speedup for 8≤n≤15 byte inputs). If you're gonna operate on only very large inputs, it's quite unnecessary, yeah, but for a lowercasing function small inputs will be very common.

The unrolling of the scalar tail is quite unnecessary though (gcc does so even with -fno-unroll-loops). clang doesn't[0], though it does unroll the main loop (though that can be disabled with -fno-unroll-loops).

I haven't seen any that would suggest I should see the current SCOTUS as an arbitrary monster with no respect for any legal structure.

Are we able to draw a distinction between people who have a perspective we profoundly disagree with - even despise - and utterly ruthless, insane monsters?
Yes this has happened to other people, I believe it was the homebrew developer that couldnt pass the hazing and found it ironic
These things are so useless. For one they are not legal contracts, they are instructions the entire network must execute in a limited VM, and the instructions really can only trust the blockchain, so the outside world is continuously shoveled on the blockchain by oracles as if they are infallible, but they are not even properly incentivized to provide correct or valuable answers. You end up paying a fortune for trustless consensus even though what ends up on the blockchain itself cannot be trusted.

Mozilla gets paid $500m a year by Google so that Google can be default search engine on Firefox. They have the money that keeps them "incentivized" although they are FOSS and nonprofit.

Everyone knows why the companies think they need to do it this way.

“False negatives better than false positives”

“Need general set of skills”

That has nothing to do with their implementation being wrong and batshit crazy.

How about they go back to the whiteboard and think of something else.
I'm not sure it's hand-wavy "magic." The essay is talking about things that are different in Middle Earth that could have led to the lack of an industrial revolution by the Third Age. Lower population growth (and slower population recovery after plagues and wars) seem like a pretty plausible factor.

It's also plausible that societal advancement was also just slower than with us when the author seems to assume it would be expected to advance at the same pace. (i.e. it's taken ME longer to reach a medieval level of advancement.) Certainly happened with plenty of areas in our world for geographical determination and other reasons--though, by effectively modeling ME on Europe and giving it horses and AFAIK familiar crops, that's a harder case to make.
I would talk it out with the person. Such comments aren't helpful at all, unless the mistake made on that line is obvious.

Likely the company simply does not find value in your work (I don't say this to disparage you). The general rule of thumb is companies spend money where they find value.

Look around, find who gets the money and support. Decide if you can move there, accept it, or find a new company.

Don't get down on yourself or try to fix it. Neither is worthy of your time.
Apart from the geometrical explanation linked in the other comment, there's an Anthropic Principle angle here too -- the fact that eclipses seemed so "perfect and meaningful" to our ancestors was probably a big factor in the development of mathematics and engineering as they tried to predict the eclipses. another similarly intelligent species on a planet without such "perfect" eclipses wouldnt be intrigued by them enough to try to explain their timing. The fact that planets with such perfect sun/moon relationships are "rare" could be one of the missing factors in the Drake Equation. [something similar was a plot point in the scifi book Dragon's Egg]

Tell HN: I DDoSed myself using CloudFront and Lambda Edge and got a $4.5k bill
I am using awesome NextJS and serverless-nextjs and deploy my app to CloudFront and Lambda@Edge.

I made a mistake and accidentally created a serverless function that called itself. In a recursive loop, with a 30s timeout. I thought I fixed it and deployed the code to the dev environment.

I have had an AWS Billing alert (Budgets) set up to prompt me when my monthly budget goes over $300 (my usual bill is $200/month).

Imagine the terror when I woke up the next day to see the AWS Billing alert email saying I already owed $1,484! I removed a function and deployed it again in 30 minutes, but it was too late. It has already run for 24 hours, using over 70 million Gb-Second!

Only after that I've learned that AWS Billing alerts do not work this way for CloudFront. You get delayed information on charges because they collect them from all regions.

On the following day, the bill settled at a shocking $4600. This is more than we have ever spent on AWS all time.

CloudFront includes the AWS Shield Standard feature, but somehow, it was not activated for this case (Lambda@Edge calling itself via CloudFront).

Now, I understand that I should have created CloudWatch alarms, which would alert me when the number of requests exceeds the limit. The problem is, that they need to be set up per region, and I got CloudFront charges from all points of presence.

I am a big proponent of the serverless approach. It makes it easy to scale and develop things (e.g., you get PR review version branches for free, both frontend and backend code like Vercel does). But now, I am unsure because such unexpected charges can ruin a side-project or emerging startup.

Now I am waiting on a response from AWS Support on these charges; maybe they can help me waive part of that.

What is your experience with it? Would you recommend to use to build a new product if you are bootstrapped, 3-person startup?

I think the predator-prey cycle is the correct explanation. Pre-industrial societies have enough problems with food production and disease limiting population growth, add in the equivalent of sapient wolves and it's a miracle that there are any intelligent populations left in Middle Earth at all. I think you could add to your reply to the parent comment that the reason the Orcs don't take over and establish their own civilization is that they are prone to cannibalism and infighting. When they exhaust their local supply of man-flesh they probably instantly turn on the closest group of Orcs and devour them instead. They also suffer from predation by giant spiders and probably from wild trolls as well.

The Shire is truly an anomaly in that they have eliminated or escaped detection by anything that likes to eat Hobbits.
> Once you answer yes to this question you are criminally liable for whatever is in the suitcase.

That's not how criminal law works in most places: "Mens rea is the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime; or knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed. It is considered a necessary element of many crimes."

Always thought Labrador was golden arm and was going to comment how strange to give a robot without arms this name. Love when I learn new things.

"Labrador is named after João Fernandes Lavrador, a Portuguese explorer who sailed along the coasts of the Peninsula in 1498–99. Lavrador in Portuguese means 'farmer' (cognate with 'labourer')."

Isn't this a fairly trivial insight though?

Same as saying that everything anyone, or any organization, does is political.

Which may be the literal case, but we have to maintain some cutoff threshold to make the phrase meaningful and tractable to think about.

Otherwise, scratching the left or right side of your nose may be a political statement and preferring a trackpad or a mouse may be a statement regarding values.

"Technology that has Y net impact on more than X number of people is not values neutral" may be a better phrasing.

And the challenge will be to find broad agreement for X and Y.
Pardon my ignorance, but is any of this used for anything practical?

The aeolipile was a toy - essentially an unsealed kettle on an axle. It had no mechanisms for building up pressure that could actually do some work. Their metal working wasn't good enough to build precision machinery at scale and their steel production was virtually non-existent compared with the amount you'd need to make a railway. There also wasn't an economic incentive - transport involved crossing hard mountainous terrain or - more usually - coastal trading. And they didn't have large quantities of co-located iron and coal.
> Oddly enough people mentioning that parable never actually spend their days lazily on the beach. People who don't put their money where their mouth is always rouse my inner cynic

I work from home for a small company with people I like, I get to spend my day with my partner and dog, get out walking every day, have time (and money) for the hobbies and activities that I and we want to do. I don't need to climb and push harder to achieve the life that I want, because I'm content with what I have and where I'm going.
Seems like research you would probably need to take with a grain of salt. While being socially isolated obviously isn't good for anyone I'd sceptical if someone who is isolated yet is active, eats well and keeps their minds active would show similar results.

My guess would be those that are socially isolated are less likely to be physically active, less likely to eat well and less likely to engage in activities that stimulate their minds. I'm thinking of people like my Gran who in last decade of her life after the passing of her husband did little more than watch TV and walk to shop once a week. People who live like this noticeably change. I've seen it in myself during periods of depression and social isolation. I'm not sure it's the isolation that does the damage, more everything else that often goes along with people who are living isolated.
Rent control needs to be implemented well to work. Badly implemented rant control doesn't work. Everything you're describing comes from rent control not being universal, to prices being allowed to increase between tenants, and to zoning laws allowing the construction of low density housing in high density areas instead of only allowing low and medium density.

You can encourage graceful lowering of prices by putting in inoccupancy taxes.

Rent control is easy to fuck up, and almost every place in the US that implements it half asses it by either making it only apply to part of the city, allowing unlimited rent increases between tenants, disallow reasonable rent increases for improvements, and so on. Rent control has to be implemented well to work. There are plenty of examples of cities where it works wonderfully, and plenty of places where there is multipartisan consensus in favour of them.

I really don’t think that this will be the case anytime soon. Images can be generated from zany prompts, but making a coherent, fits-together-well set of images for a product like a web page or an illustrated book is far off.

Further, artists have a host of skills that DALL-E doesn’t, like “take that image, but change the colors a bit to make it more acceptable to the client, and move the cartoon bird a little further down”. Or “make an image that will look as good in a print as it does on a small screen”.
Is that really a problem? I think you’ve described a valuable signal, and you may have a different threat model in your mind.

If my use case for this device is so sensitive that I’m taking these steps to avoid it being intercepted, any evidence of tampering, even slight, means the device is compromised, /full stop/.

In your scenario when the government hands me three bags of lentils & my device I thank them, walk to the nearest dumpster, and pitch the whole lot in because I have to assume it’s been bugged.
> I meant where do you draw the line as to what is "computer science", and what is domain and application-specific problem-solving?

Oh, I see.

I actually think that the line is clear. Solving a practical problem or bug? That's not computer science. Developing or improving a generally useful algorithm or technique, such as a sort function? That _is_ computer science.

Science is improving our understanding of how things work or can be made to work. Actually putting that knowledge to application is Engineering (or tinkering).
That's an issue. It's debatable whether it's the issue. But yes, obviously if every apartment has the same rent ceiling nobody will have a reason to stick in one of the lottery apartments forever. Good luck getting that passed in NYC/SF.

> I guess, it was an okay movie, but hardly the cult classic everyone keeps talking about,

But it is exactly the cult movie that everybody keeps talking about. Maybe it wasn't a blockbuster because of the reasons you give, but it had an iconic look that has influenced every SciFi movie since, and it takes its time to tell an interesting, complex story, where you can't really be sure who the good and bad guys really are.

It's popular exactly because it's different. It was and still is immensely influential. But it's absolutely true that it's not standard middle-of-the-road blockbuster material.

Like it or not, most problems you will want to solve are not "purely functional" but rely on sound management of shared mutable state.

Haskell advocates will say shared mutable state is done better in Haskell than other languages. They will trot out blog posts claiming that Haskell is also a better imperative language than other imperative languages. It isn't.

Just look at all of the theoretical mumbo-jumbo associated with something like Lenses...now look at the utterly trivial problem they solve.

Even for a FP tool, Haskell is riddled with cruft. Look at the set of compiler pragmas that are pretty much required to be in any useful Haskell. Including basic crap like overloading the String type. These are hacks, pure and simple.

You could go on and on and on. Most of the original Haskell advocates from the initial explosion of advocacy around ten years ago have moved on to Rust and other language communities. They gave up, and they were the gurus.

Anyway, like most programming hype, there is no stopping it...you just need to get on the Haskell hype wagon for a while, realize it is a waste of time, then get off and try to inform others.
You actually increase grip but lose traction overall.
Having worked at MSN during this time, I can tell you, the jealousy of AOL and the client-based walled garden they built was almost physically palpable. AOL was the onramp to the internet for so many folks, but many felt they didn't need to leave the garden. MSN was kind of a halfway spot: a bit more open, but also more integrated into Windows (standard embrace and extend approach). Yahoo! was the other big worry: also had a dialup option, but basically was the internet for many, in that, as a portal, it safely met many of their needs for info and communication.

You saw some of this stuff live on as ActiveX objects in IE for a few years after the client wound down; MSN Money was the last big holdout with it's portfolio manager and charting engine, which also was released as part of a Quicken competitor for personal finance management called Microsoft Money.

Both the Elvish and Numenorian comments discussed hand-made, almost magical creations similar to what we imagine pre-industrial.
