Heyday lands $6M to build a knowledge base from the services you already use

… except that there’s no guarantee that that matches what’s actually served. The only way to be confident is to vet the actual code that runs, which would also require content-based whitelisting (if the code served changes, refuse to run until the new code is vetted), something that I’m not aware of any browser, browser extension or other tool capable of doing.
Maybe/maybe not? Deno is a new-er runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript by the creator of Node.js. It's essentially an effort to correct the perceived shortcomings of Node.js with a new runtime that is: 1. compatible with TypeScript, 2. aligns closer with browser APIs, and 3. comes with a standard library modeled after Go's.

It would be great for a 1 visit per hour site, but so would PHP, or just an index.html file. Hard to really answer that question without knowing what your site is.

This seems wrong to me ? Can you explain a bit more ? Are these just API requests or ?
Not that I have any love for mainstream media but here[1] you go.

I dont think this should be standard. It sounds like you’re saying you ran a service with 37 million people’s information on a software stack that was so old that not even the vendor is supporting it anymore and could be riddled with security issues that you wouldn’t even know much less be able to detect? It may work but certainly not going to get any security certifications this way..
they know it.

that's why they've killed XUL. that's why they're going even further by enforcing an inferior extension standard from their supposed competitor. that's why they've killed off the extensions and about:config for the android version. that's why you can't even use a private extension on desktop without jumping through the hoops. that's why usercss (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets - legacy and disabled by default - the writing is on the wall already) and userjs will get axed. that's why about:config will get axed on the desktop version as well.

all of that is just off the top of my head. and in the end, Firefox will be a clunky and inferior alternative for Chrome with not 2%, but 0.2% of the market. which is the goal.
> As if any of that mattered in the end. The Supreme Court ruled how it did because it's dominated by religious conservatives that don't like abortion.

Or its dominated by legal conservatives who have different ideas about constitutional interpretation than the Warren Court, put there by politicians whose constituents oppose abortion.

To me at least Roe v. Wade seems to have, in effect, been a constitutional amendment via means that bypassed the normal political process for such things. Unless you're a very "ends justify the means" kind of person, that raises concerns that would introduce a vulnerability into anything accomplished that way.
The images are a bit misleading by using different timescales.
Bubblesort appears to finish significantly faster than Quicksort if you are just watching the animations... I think the visualizations would be a lot more meaningful if you could visually compare speeds.
The only issue I have with it is that it's a pretty niche application. I think most sites will have a single database probably in a single location, in which case you don't gain anything from edge compute as far as I can tell.

Maybe if these things came with some kind of fancy "edge database" it would cover normal use cases, but they never seem to mention that so I assume it doesn't exist.
Very cool! Amazing work you all!
I've been using this for a while to play movies from my laptop on my xbox and it's basically good, the one thing that trips up (probably unavoidably) is seeking through media that is being transcoded. Other than that it basically does the job fine.
That's incredibly cool to hear! I'm really excited about the upcoming generation of programmers empowered by the tools they have with them.
That's not true at all there are tons of static neighborhoods all over major cities. But they are wildly expensive.

Just curious -- what are the performance trade-offs here? I assume you are basically querying each individual database and then doing a series of joins by doing additional queries? Or are you doing something more sophisticated with cache-ing, etc.?

My hometown had zero programming positions. The next town over had 1 company that required programmers, at about $9 an hour. So I went to college 300 miles south where the small cities are.

Because of the above, this hometown is also nearly 100% inhabited by the kind of assholes and do-nothings that never grew past highschool, the entire town is run by an entirely homogeneous clique that quite literally would rather it still be the jim crow era, and many locals still had klan hoods in the attic.
Thank you so much!! We really wanted to try to make it live alongside the code examples in GitHub, but still feel almost e-book like. We definitely hacked around the GH Markdown a bit to achieve this. Thanks for noticing!

I also checked and it appears to be the case. However, weirdly enough the original ycombinator.com domain is registered through Gandi, and the addresses given for Y Combinator are just Gandi's address. If they did register hacker.news, they did it also through Gandi but this time they seemed to actually put their address in CA.

it means simply that there is always something better, waiting to be discovered, and that we should not let ourselves become acclimated to inferior things simply because we've used those things a lot, and know them.

Nobody says there isn't any use case for AWS. The point is that "the cool kids" like to start their side projects on AWS. Nothing about it is mission critical. I guarantee you op is not working on some Fintech stuff.
I didnt see Homelander as a victim.
Steve Gibson (grc.com) uses assembly for most (all?) of the software he distributes.

For example, his DNS Nameserver Benchmarking utility[1] is 160 KB and when you download it, it's a single uncompressed executable and has a decent win32 UI. It will run any version of Windows going back to Windows 95.

Could you even run a mid-90's era macOS or KDE+Linux executable on a current Mac or Linux machine? (I don't think Gnome even existed yet).

It could be that dolphins are smarter than humans. Dolphins didn't build civilization, but it could be because they don't have flexible enough limbs for tool making. Maybe humans just got lucky with a combination of relatively high intelligence, language and flexible limbs.

That's a lot of words, but the only support I could find that "rightwing fanbase" is upset is this one tweet from someone with 65k followers from the article:

> And last week, writer Ryan Broderick posted some outraged screengrabs from Reddit. One read: “Was really liking Blue Hawk until the end of his speech’. Another read “There’s no need to apologize for helping eliminate criminals.” These fans, Broderick claimed, have been patiently waiting for Homelander’s redemption arc. Now that it seems as if it won’t be coming, they’re angry about being tricked into liking the villain.

I love the show but I think that scene was a little too cartoonish. Normally Boys is a noir where every character, with few exceptions, is neither good nor bad. Even the evil Homelander is nuanced enough to be interesting. This was just lazy writing.

> And Rick and Morty had a decent shot at the title a few years ago, when fans furious that their favourite show had the temerity to hire a female writer published her personal details online.

I have never heard about this. I feel like there's a whole sub-genre of articles that are reactions to anon twitter reactions. Where do they find this stuff? It's weird coming from a major newspaper.

The Salary Trap (2021)
While reading through these threads I always get a feeling that everyone's working at YouTube or stuff like that, and they need to serve millions of users per hour. Meanwhile I'm in my corner here with an old-school $20 VPS that does just fine for my 10k users.
So I just did a brief lookup after work because I was curious. For those who want to know.

> It is healthy to donate once or twice each week, if there is a 48-hour period between each donation. Plasma is 90% water and frequent donation will not harm you. It can lead to side effects such as dizziness and fatigue, but staying hydrated can help avoid these.
Y'all setup a "recruiting" call with me before releasing A-Frame, asked me tons of questions about my WebXR framework, which I had in the wild for almost a year, which Josh admitted you had been using as part of your testing of Firefox Reality, then announced A-Frame and called it "The world's first WebXR framework". I had growth before the announcement, then nothing after, and people started accusing me of copying A-Frame. How was I supposed to feel?

EDIT: Excuse me, "WebVR support in Firefox". WebVR hadn't been renamed to WebXR, and Firefox Reality didn't exist, yet.
I used to use this to make media available to a PlayStation 3. It can do on-the-fly conversion for codecs that aren't supported by the client, though I think Plex can do that kind of thing too.

Nowadays, I use TinyMediaManager to tag all my film and series and make them available to a Raspberry Pi running Kodi/Libreelec. I also tried using JellyFin as there's a good Kodi plugin for that, but prefer giving the Kodi box direct access to the files - seems to work better for keeping its library up to date.
Working on incredibly boring retail banking systems which are a maintenance nightmare. If you want to work in a bank you'd get paid more working on front office software at an investment bank.
> Some people have the tolerance to be the 'founding' Devops/SRE talent, who help the company go through that "transformation" from the ground up, implement the IR process, create the standards, win the hearts and change the minds, and thrive when the Devops tradecraft and practice is very new to the parent organization.

As someone who has been this founding engineer in the past, in my experience, this is a fun situation to find yourself. There is rarely a "win the hearts and minds" aspect when at such an early stage. As long as it works, you're golden. You literally get to call all the shots, pick all the tech, lay the foundation and the bill really only comes du when you're building a team around it and your engineering hires start asking questions. They're usually good questions, and are usually known issues (although sometimes you can learn a lot from another experienced engineer assessing your architecture), but it becomes work from that point forward. Assuming you get that far, which if you do you've largely succeeded as engineer #1 as your technical decisions didn't take the company down with them.
then you're not a poweruser. you'd be perfectly fine with stock Chrome too.
If your primary concern is collapsing US empire, you aren’t necessarily limiting your exposure by leaving the country. A rapid collapse of US hegemony would lead to a fairly chaotic reordering of the global system.
There was a coding competition at a local podunk BBS back in ~’91. I figured I would use it as an excuse to learn some assembly. The goal of the challenge i entered was to find all of the prime numbers between one and a million. Of course my goal with the assembly approach was speed and executable size. In both of those I smoked the competition by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude.

But the scoring mechanism was heavily weighted towards lines of code and the turbo Pascal entry one even though it took about six minutes to complete.

That pissed me off so much I never really messed with assembly again.
These "landmines" you speak of aren't stationary targets. They can walk up to you.
DynamoDB is not required to use cloud functions. You can either use regular RDS like you said, Aurora or even just your own EC2-based cluster (all of these you can attach to the VPC the functions are attached to as well) and there's a lot of nice developments going on like Cloudflare D1.

Totally agree on SQS, knowing PubSub as well I'd say they're pretty much on the same level. All the interconnectedness is where cloud platforms shine
There are also a shitload more indexing options available to you in Postgres.
Correct. I run mpd on my desktop machine, then connect to it from a client either running on my desktop (https://github.com/floren/Ampd) or on my phone or my laptop. However, regardless of where my client is executing, the music comes out of the speakers attached to my desktop. If there's a way to stream music from the server to the client, I am not aware of it.

So it seems you missed the point. The world's strongest, deadliest, most powerful person, Homelander, feels like a victim because people aren't constantly praising every little thing he does.

He has literally no limits on what he is allowed to do. He can do whatever, rape whoever, kill whoever, etc., with impunity. And he does. And he still feels like he is the victim. (Note: Homelander is a more nuanced and sympathetic character in the TV show than he is in the comics, where he's more one-dimensional.)

And that's where the critique of the "white male victimization" comes in, especially with respect to Trump. Trump, like Homelander, was for 4 years the most powerful man in the world. He literally broke dozens of laws without consequence, not including all of the laws he broke without consequence before he became president. And he still felt like the victim because people weren't praising him as the next coming of Jesus.

That would be incredibly inefficient, with any sort of road clearance, and incredibly expensive. I don't think it would ever make sense to put that much copper down into the road, unless it's to power something like a third rail.
This is making me wonder just how raw Sawyer’s code for Rollercoaster Tycoon was. The source doesn’t seem to be out there but a page on his site (http://www.chrissawyergames.com/faq3.htm) says he used “MS Macro Assembler V6.11c” so it’s probably safe to assume he didn’t type out every single instruction in the game by hand. Depending on how many macros he’d built up at this point in his career it might have felt more like programming in C, except with a lower conceptual barrier to switching to inline assembly functions when stuff needed to be optimized.
Somewhere in a parallel universe, Mozilla just let all the plugins claim compatability, and vaguely fascist users who dont like their politics are complaining that the instability of Mozilla on Android is the reason they hate them.

And further along, in a universe where they poured a lot of time energy and money into fixing the whole plugin ecosystem and succeeded, they're complaining about something that didn't get done because of that shift in focus.

The conversation goes something like:

"Why are they spending time and money on fixing mobile addons no one uses? I think this is because their management are too political, not like their old unpolitical leadership. And as I say every time they get mentioned "I hate people who say and do political stuff!!". It makes me so angry. They should only do what I want or I'll force them out of business from pure spite. That'll teach them to be political.
The sushi guy and his tuna is totally a publicity stunt.

In this case, I think it helps to consider the mango as art rather than food.

It's a similar thing with Koi Carp.
It's admittedly a simplification and a best case. For AWS Lambda, the price is in GB-seconds, and the amount of CPU available to your function is itself a function of the memory allocated.

The price is $0.0000166667 for every GB-second on X86. So it looks like I've also misplaced a decimal. It's $0.20 per 1M requests with 1GB of memory.

Lambdas can be sized from 128MB to 10GB, and pricing depends on the resources allotted.

Ultimately, this pricing just represents the compute time for a function to complete. That function can do whatever it wants.

There are additional costs to put an API Gateway in front of it, for instance, to make it a publicly accessible API.
I did a study on this (N>100m) at a previous employer who had quite a lot of e-commerce traffic.

It's sort of true but also a massive over simplification. The relationship between conversion and speed is not linear. Some people are beyond help, and others already have it so good they only notice the most extreme degradation in performance.

It's also hard to isolate confounding factors like users who have fast infrastructure tend to be rich and rich people buy more stuff. Making pages load faster doesn't give them more money to buy stuff.

Overall faster is definitely better but the specific magnitude will depend on your customer demographics. In our case the Amazon 100ms saved = 1% more sales was close enough for a rule of thumb.
Glad you've had a positive experience with it. All I'm arguing is it's much less likely that an entire company has this versus a particular org or even a specific set of teams.

I have many friends at FAANG and many of them would disagree with your take on them being interconnected and definitely lean more toward it being team dependent. This also is similar to my experience.
Also, what exactly are Superheroes motives? Why would they want money?? They could just steal whatever they want and be done with it.
If with one thing, a single mistake can result in a $5k bill, and with the other I have a guaranteed fixed bill of 50 bucks a month, then unless I have enough money to burn, the choice is crystal clear. Maybe you wipe your butt with 100$ bills. Others aren't that lucky.
Full stack * is * just running code on the backend and frontend. There is no complexity requirement for something to be considered a full stack. You could have a super simple todo list with native javascript that persists by writing to a single sqlite table and that is a complete "full stack" web application.

You could have something incredibly intensive on the front end using a bunch of modern frameworks and visualization tools. Or something incredibly intensive on the back end with some of the features you mentioned in your post. But neither is strictly required and many apps will function with just the basics on either or both ends.
The applicability of your metaphor to the conversation at hand may not be as clear to others as it is to you.
He's pretty f'd up. He's a villain for sure, but he has a host of issues himself. It's a more honest portrayal of what someone with near infinite strength and powers would become. You see it this season too after <spoiler> some of the boys take V and they all become terrible </spoiler>.
Climate protection: CO2 turned into methanol

We also applied for AWS Activate sometime ago, as a member of YCombinator Startup School.

I would really like to deploy to regular Lambdas, they are per region and easier to monitor, but unfortunately there is no support for this in serverless-nextjs right now.

Good thing about is it almost automatic - static frontend, SSR and API are deployed appropriately and work perfectly, without too much fuzz.

I try to balance between bringing customer value and doing infrastructure work, and now it is clear I should have spend more time on making a better architecture.
> I don’t think I’ve ever seen any sort of data that backed up cars over buses as a more efficient transit system other than people comparing their personal trip time as equal or greater in importance than everyone else having transit times reduced

I think some of that is because public transit is unsexy, so people come out with dubious comparisons or at least ones which misleadingly appear to support a pro-public-transit conclusion. For example, I saw a study that showed that a dedicated bus lane has a far greater capacity than using the same lane for car transit. I completely believe the finding, but people pass share it around as evidence that dedicated bus lanes are a no brainer; however, this ignores that buses are rarely capacity constrained so adding a dedicated bus lane would likely decrease the throughput of the street even though the capacity increases (of course if more people start taking the bus as a result, then maybe the throughput could increase?).

I want public transit to work out, but my experiences with public transit and driving in Chicago make me realize that public transit has a long way to come (not only with respect to all of the unpleasantness of public transit, but even with sheer convenience--driving in Chicago is much faster, I can bring my dog and more easily transport other things, etc).

I'm not sure it's feasible for most people to do without owning a car, but we probably can get to a world where people need to use their car less, and we can also work on improving car transit too. Work on city/suburb design that encourages cars to take highways rather than city streets, continue making cars safer and lighter, etc.
