See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukti_Bahini

"The 'Mukti Bahini' was divided into two groups; the 'Niomito Bahini' – or 'regular forces' – who came from the paramilitary, military and police forces of East Pakistan, and the Gonnobahini – or 'people's forces' – who were civilians. These names were given and defined by the Government of Bangladesh. ... Civilians took control of arms depots in various cities and began resisting Pakistani forces with the acquired weapons supply."

Remember there was no "Bangladeshi military" at the time. It was the Pakistani military. The East Pakistan Rifles, for example, had maintained loyalty to Pakistan until Pakistan went too far in suppressing the revolt.

But yes, reading google on your network gave me the heeby-jeebies. That the 'normal' thing is to host them on google is not really pertinent. If I was interested in that, I'd have done it. But I'm looking at other parties on purpose.

ceejayoz seems to think it is not technically an issue, google is not on your network. That sounds plausible to me, assuming it is accurate.

You can make all the same arguements about the invention of paper and books.

> So what happens when we outsource part of our memory to an external device?

You mean like a paper notepad, paper calendar, paper daily planner?

> Does it enable us to squeeze more and more out of life, because we aren’t as reliant on our fallible brains to cue things up for us? Are we so reliant on smartphones that they will ultimately change how our memories work

Yea, I used to have a little black book (that was a thing) and I wrote down people's addresses and phone numbers instead of memorizing them.

Even with smartphones it's still super popular in Japan to use paper daily planners. You don't memorize all your activities, you write them down. Been happening for centuries
Does it work even when you're logged out?
Truly, and hopefully this leads to change. But this is also a consequence of Canada's lack of competition with ISPs.

You can bring up your "facts" about Germany's nuclear power plants all you want. But the green policies are part of the reason why the investment in nuclear was halted and on top of that the German Taxpayer had to foot a massive payout to nuclear plant operators for the premature exit. [2]

Slight correction, you can't run tools aimed for Google levels of complexity because Google doesn't release the tools they use to handle their scale. They don't use k8s to manage their infrastructure, they use Borg. K8s doesn't scale to Google's needs. Also, nobody's running at Google scale.

HN was down?
It is very different from your examples. Even if you only own one bike, there are innumerable others in existence and companies making new ones every day, if yours is destroyed or lost. Similarly, there are plenty of local libraries to choose from, even if your favorite one closes.

Whereas, if HN closes, there is no equivalent replacement available.
We've both matured quite a bit since then :)
I'm wondering the same thing.

It does look like providing a similar service. IIRC there are a few more similar attempts, but now they're all "sharlocked".

vscode.dev tunneling is nice though. Coder's version once had the similar feature but they dropped it at a point. Also I'd be slightly more comfortable to let MS tunnel my connection vs. a small startup.

Turned my PC off, then on again.
I was in almost the exact same position all day. What made it worse though was the fact that this happened right in the middle of my attempts at curbing my browsing habits. Once my app timers for Reddit is Fun, Instagram, and Twitter were up, it was time for HN... except there was no HN. What that meant is that I was reaching for a stimulus and then not getting it, the same way that an alcoholic wouldn't feel satisfied by, say, a can of soda. It was weird to experience, but very enlightening. It both made me realize how subconsciously my addiction is reinforced and reaffirmed to me that it is, in fact, an addiction. I'm not going to stop using HN of course, but I'm definitely going to be more aware of how I use it (e.g. passively vs. intentionally) from now on.

your assessment would've been correct 3 or 4 years ago but there's just no need to scaffold ec2, mysql db inside a vpc. You can upload your environment via docker and start serving serverless. You can then use serverless db that is 90% cheaper and far less hassle than scaling up or down ec2 instances/rds, configuring vpc, setting up nat gateways etc

my view is that if you are not on serverless, you are wasting resources that could otherwise been dedicated to building out domain knowledge

our team focuses on optimizing each function and less on devops/scaling. the plumbing work is gone and all we do is now translate business requirements. security concerns are also largely removed.

its a great time to be on serverless, it had to overcome lot of doubt but it is here to stay. no need to pay $5 / month either for your weekend projects. even if your project hits front page, it will still work, the billing is not even that bad for what you are getting.

Some places sort of naturally become tourist destinations because of size/importance, but there are other ways.

* Some specific gimmick that the town emphasizes, like Leavenworth, WA in the US has a Bavarian gimmick/theme that draws in a lot of tourists in the winter.

* Resort towns that were invented for that purpose like Cancun in Mexico, or Sunny Beach in Bulgaria. Doesn't have to be beaches either, you could do the same thing for mountains/skiing I'm sure, maybe other forms of outside recreation.

* Having something legal that 'usually' isn't. E.g. Nevada towns in the US with either brothels or, more famously, gambling. Of course it's the whole state where's gambling is legal, but yeah you'll get some towns right on the border where they exist for people in the next state over to easily gamble.

>The Oracle Problem is already incredibly obvious

It apparently was not obvious enough to the multiple crypto companies I've seen both simultaneously making promises about "decentralization", while hyping up the security guarantees of trying to track physical assets on a blockchain. And no doubt by using their centralized service. Or, maybe they were just being dishonest.

If the server went down at XX:XX, and the backup they restored from is also from XX:XX, there isn't dataloss. If the server was down for 8 hours, the last data being 8 hours old isn't dataloss, it's correct.
One problem is that voices obey the inverse square law; the received power of the audio will be inversely proportional to the square of distance. The new minimum distance will often be enough to prevent capturing their words, with the direct consequence that recordings will not be able to capture what is said. They become less accountable.

I know many countries have problems but Canada is in a okay spot. Specific cities have looming crisis on their hands but this is largely the fault of provincial governance.

Rails being slow is usually not something that the user can perceive. Instead, it's just something that increases your operating costs (more servers).

For most online businesses, the operating cost of servers is small relative to the costs of support, sales, marketing and R&D.

So, yes rails is slower, but it usually isn't slow in a way that is much of a negative for the business.

By second disk failure do they mean that the disks on both the primary and fallback servers failed? Or do they mean that two disks (of a RAID1 or similar setup) in the fallback server failed?

The latter is understandable, the former would be quite a surprise for such a popular site. That means that the machines have no disk redundancy and the server is going down immediately on disk failure. The fallback server would be the only backup.

Hm. I know there's been lots of news stories of people complaining, but have any actual decisions been made with respect to them? I haven't followed that closely.

I guess what I'm really thinking is if this moves the needle at all in terms of saving the company: my impression was that there are just too many services now and with better content.

Use the suicide rate as an inverse metric.

"Happiness" is subjective, but suicide is as objective an expression of un-happiness as it gets. It's just an icky and emotional topic nobody wants to acknowledge.

I have a good laugh when free shit is used as an indicator of happiness though. Prisoners get free food, education and healthcare. The state will even take your children off your hands. Working is optional. Prison surely must be the happiest place on earth!

False.

Many do not, they move back home.
> Double disk failure is improbable but not impossible.

It's actually surprisingly common for failover hardware to fail shortly after the primary hardware. It's normally been exposed to similar conditions to what killed the primary and the strain of failing over pushes it over the edge.
I used to work in a debit processing command center where we would monitor all of the acquirer and issuer links in real-time. The amount of paperwork and phone calling required just for a <60 second MPLS VPN drop-out was pretty incredible. I can't imagine a day like this in that room. Would have been an absolute circus.
> Nowadays, the smartphone took over: click, ok nice picture, click click, and shared! It's nice and practical but now my picture collection of the past few years is a bloated and unorganized stream of nice and bad pictures mixed with of paper document copies and other random stuff I no longer care about.

Um, ok. Did the tech do that to you? I download my iPhone photos to my desktop every 2-3 months. I then organize them into folders by events (loosely). Names like

2022-02-08 Mom's Birthday
2022-02-13
2022-02-14 Valentine's Day Dinner
2022-02-20

It takes only 10-20 minutes.

The folders with only the date are basically uncategorized photos from the date of the previous folder to the date on that folder. (eg, 2022-02-13 holds random phots from 2022-02-09 to 2022-02-13)

It sounds like you stopped doing that. I didn't. So I'm not sure why you think the phone made you stop rather that you just deciding to stop and me not deciding to stop.

Note: I also auto sync all my phone photos to Google Photos but I only use that for easy access, not for backup.
Rogers did just abruptly withdraw all their routes, then reannounced some, then withdrew them again. It's not dissimilar at least.

In other words, colonialism. I wouldn't say the West "has forgotten"; they are still extremely good at it with careful financial engineering, they can operate it without looking like slave drivers.

The problem is there is only so many places you can invest and the west has burned enough bridges where any sovereign nation is incredibly careful when taking money from the west.
I think we're more likely to see drones rigged with explosives as a go-to method for political assassinations. Guns aren't that hard to make, but getting close enough to use one is another matter.
k8s isn't only for microservices. You can containerize up normal applications (12 factor or otherwise architected) and run them on k8s.

Is it a good idea? Depends.

On the plus side: You have one underlying runtime and orchestration layer, with a lot of useful primitives (including and especially around deployments).

On the negative: You introduce yet another layer of complexity and abstraction.

Creator of the original https://github.com/coder/code-server and co-founder of https://coder.com here. Microsoft’s code-server uses their official extension marketplace, allowing LiveShare, Pylance, and other proprietary extensions in their browser VS Code experience. Their license prevents users from “hosting it as a service” meaning you can’t productize their code-server like you can ours.

We’re disappointed that Microsoft chose to release under the `code-server` command-line name. Our community has produced countless blog posts, videos, StackOverflow questions, etc. that will become difficult for our users to find. This naming decision suggests that Microsoft aims to replace our code-server instead of coexisting.

We will continue developing our code-server until Microsoft’s has parity. As for Coder, we’re focusing more on the platform side (https://github.com/coder/coder) and less on making IDEs work remotely.
