I feel like everyone in this discussion is missing the forest for the trees, especially given the way most public company executives think and operate, which is quarterly.

The problem with building out a new state-of-the-art datacenter - or several of them - is the enormous capital expenditure you've just put on your company's books, not to mention the operating expenditure of all the people that will be required to run it. Yes, it's true that as time goes on, you can claim some tax advantages in the form of depreciation, etc. on some components of this new huge outlay, but at the end of the day, when the company misses quarterly or yearly expectations from Wall Street and the stock price takes a 10% hit, the "blame" gets squarely laid at your feet - you are, after all, "the problem". You spent a shitload of money provisioning future resources for the company's (expected) growth.

Meanwhile, in Cloud Cuckoo-Cuckoo Land, your rival has migrated all or nearly all existing infrastructure to the cloud, thus including a significant op-ex, but not nearly as large as the enormous cap-ex you've just incurred. They're hailed as a hero. A goddamned visionary! Look at all that money they're going to save the company! Nevermind the fact that they explicitly instructed the IT department's head to provision only the necessary resources for current operations, after all, the "promise" of the cloud is that you can just spin up whatever you need in a few minutes, anyway. And besides, the cloud deployment of all the company's servers and the necessary expansion won't incur a significant turning of heads until long after our visionary executive has jumped ship to another company for more pay, a corner office, and a better stock compensation package. Best of all, he say that he saved the company $XX millions of dollars over your plan, and it can be said legitimately, even though it is, of course, inaccurate.

If you're huge, it's never cheaper to farm out the administration of your critical infrastructure to qualified experts. But because of the dominance of the Quarterly Report Cycle in modern business, this gets swept off by the wayside as "outdated thinking".

I say this, by the way, as an IT professional building out cloud solutions for companies. For a lot of small-to-medium sized businesses, and startups especially, the cloud makes sense. If someone at Federal Express thinks the cloud makes sense, they're looking out for themselves, not the company.

> you should not bother to write fast Python, just delegate all heavy lifting to optimized C/c++ and the likes

Certainly that's something you can do, but unfortunately for Python it opens the door for languages like Julia, which are trying to say that you can have your cake and eat it too.
You're definitely not the only one who struggles with this. I've tried a lot of different approaches for what to do during the meeting, but tbh what I've settled on is:

1. Avoid meetings that I'm not going to get value from OR am unlikely to add (sufficient) value to.

2. In some meetings I'm going to add more value by facilitating, etc., than by just saying whatever's on my mind.

For 1: I decline a lot more meetings than I used to. Sometimes it's a straight decline, sometimes I'll email the organizor or other people who will be attending and say, "I don't think I have a ton to contribute, but ping me if you need me to jump in," sometimes I'll decline and suggest meeting to provide feedback offline or in a smaller meeting if I actually have suggestions on the topic, etc.

For 2: sometimes you can't get out of going to these meetings. :) If I don't have anything to contribute on the topic of the meetings, taking notes (usually just to share with people on my team who couldn't attend... hopefully the organizer has planned on taking notes as well but :shrug:) or helping ensure that quieter people get a chance to speak is still a way to add value to the meeting without being on top of the subject matter.

Edit: one nice thing about these strategies is that you can apply them regardless of the reason/blame for not following these meetings. It works the same whether it's complete BS or something you really "should" be up to speed on already.

Compare the actual features of Android vs. the actual features (instead of the marketing) of iOS, and it's clear that Apple doesn't care about user privacy. With Android, you get to choose which if any Google services to use. On iOS, you can't run any apps without telling Apple which ones, you can't get your location without also sending your location to Apple, and you can't practically run your own apps without fully deanonymizing yourself with banking details.
Thanks :)

>Not sure why you linked that definition of a "militia" – has there ever been a Supreme Court ruling that pushed that narrative, or was this just a fun fact?

I linked it because the US Code literally says almost all able bodied 17-45 y/o males are in an unorganized militia (whether they want to be in it or not). Ergo, if only the people of the militia have a right then 17-45 y/o men have the right to the exclusion of (non-uniform) women etc.

The fact that it says "the people" rather than "the militia" have the right is not an "interpretation." It is verbatim. There is nothing left to chance here. If you're deferring to Supreme Court, you know the modern interpretation is that it is the individual right of the people.

Also even if it is only to the militia, US code makes literally almost every able body 17-45 year old male members of the militia. It's basically women, children, the older and elderly, and the non-citizens and non-able-bodies that aren't militia.
> Contemporary mystery authors too often feel the need to create the illusion of depth by having alcoholic protagonists with messy personal lives.

It's a trope that makes some sense though. People who are doing work that requires them to travel for long periods of time, spend lots of time alone, or where they obsess over every detail of something for days on end could easily strain relationships and cause issues in their personal lives, while constantly dealing with cases involving horrible things can easily lead to drugs/alcohol use. It's still a cliche and it's sure to get old, but I almost feel like you'd need a good explanation for avoiding it. How does a character who has spent years seeing the worst things have zero issue dealing with it? How does a person whose income in inconsistent, whose lifestyle has them disappearing for days at a time, and whose work consumes them not have issues with their personal life?

Not that you can't have a detective who is independently wealthy or works as part of a team, or who never travels, or never deals with the kinds of cases that would cause them to have trouble sleeping at night, but if you do have that kind of character the rest of it just sort of follows.
That wasn't what I searched for and did a follow, here is a repeat of the original and follow up I tried (or as best as I can remember, I know it actually showed me python code last time, now it's showing SQL and python results).

Original (php get end of day timestamp): https://cs.joshstrange.com/50y9Pf

Follow up (end of month timestamp): https://cs.joshstrange.com/hStUEm

Sidenote: This slide over modal (that hides the results of the first query, you cannot get to them once you do a follow up) has got to be the worst of all worlds. It's very unintuitive, doesn't provide any value, makes your initial query only as useful as what you can see "before the fold". Just redirect to the new results or append them under. This modal is frustrating to work with, it's a weird parallax-type thing: https://cs.joshstrange.com/d6rhPZ

> requiring `fn` in front of the functions. This is to simplify searching for definitions in editors.

You don't have to do that even in C, you can use this style for function defs

static int
myfunc(...)
{
...
}

and search or grep for

^myfunc\(

to isolate the definition as opposed to the use.
I'm not entirely sure why low resource languages are seen as such a high priority for AI research. It seems that by definition there's little payoff to solving translation for them.
Acura launched first, since Honda already had a factory in the US (originally for motorcycles). Honda was still smaller than Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Toyota at the time, iirc.
That factory is still the oldest operating, US factory from a foreign automaker.

Amusingly, the import restrictions were "voluntary," as much as geopolitics can be voluntary.

It's taken a decade, but it's pretty much moved back to the permission model that j2me had, which iOS and Android deliberately removed & sold as better UX.

The first part about the name is just like C++: you use the name without `struct` unlike C where structs has its own namespace. That's what it's meant to illustrate.

The second question is more subtle. In C, the syntax is `struct { ... } [optional member name] ;`. Because there is no anonymous struct at the top level, the anonymous structs inside of a struct has a different syntax, also eschewing the final `;`, changing the syntax to `struct [optional member name] { ... }`. If the C syntax structure is desired a final `;` would be required. This syntax change comes from C2.
Not to mention the CLOUD (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data) Act, which was enacted following a case in 2014 where Microsoft refused to hand over emails stored in the EU (an Irish data centre, in that case) on foot of a domestic US warrant.

What if there is a little device that acts like network firewall and router appliances but somehow the phone proxies all connectivity via it. Something to carry around that shows ingress and egress connections, calls and anything in between. You can either set an allowed or blocked list, detects cell connection mitm attacks and spikes in traffic (to detect leaks). Mobile phones are like desktop computers and will always have security issues. It only makes sense to firewall them.
I constantly struggle with CSS grids when compared to, say, just using Bootstrap. I know Bootstrap comes with a lot of baggage, but the syntactic sugar is just so useful.

Unfortunately OP, I don't think your solution even works for your intended use case; Google already does OCR (actual OCR, not just parsing text) in Images. I use it in Gmail quite often. Regardless the implementation is quite neat and will surely thwart less advanced indexers.

> Companies (or departments) wouldn't actually last very long if management teams were as bad as you described.

That is only true for companies in a highly competitive market. There are all kinds of markets, some are very competitive (e.g., the market for a commodity like gasoline or flour), some are total monopolies or oligopolies (e.g., the market for smartphone operating systems, or for electricity or water in your city) and many are some hybrid somewhere in between.

The less competition a company has to face, the more they are able to grow dysfunctional while still staying profitable, thus avoiding any serious pressure to curb the dysfunction.

See https://open.lib.umn.edu/exploringbusiness/chapter/1-5-monop... or any intro microeconomics text for more.

Also, even in cases that are more competitive, managers are human and make mistakes, and the feedback cycle might be so long that a lot of dysfunction can happen before it's time to pay the piper and a whole division has to be sold off or laid off. This is most likely to happen at companies huge and diversified enough.

I think you have been fortunate enough to never work at a place like the one OP described. I have, although only once. If you find yourself in such a place, yeah, take it as a sign to get out.
Side-by-side is the best way to handle this. Show results on the left and load in the ML stuff on the right after it loads. This prevents content-jump and makes the results less wide (you want to aim for <700px to be more readable).

Glanced. 17 or 18 years ago I implemented my own programming language too so I can only say: keep on. Just a quick note in terms of Art and Beauty: what I expect from a new language is expressiveness, and encouragement of good programming techniques, so that a code written by an average programmer in the worst mood would not look as a total mess.
Yep! I work on the EKS team so this build was designed to be an educational tool for EKS Anywhere and also really fun!
Okay you are using Python gluing two web services together which is what you deep acceptable that Python can do but can you just comment on the things that you don't use Python anymore due to it being slow?

Don't take this the wrong way but I think you could be more specific. Are you saying that similar to Go it should be just faster in general?

I made an app called Moonjump as a tool to browse the fun/weird internet. It's a server that redirects you to a random page harvested from Are.na, Hacker News, Marginalia Search, Gossip Web, and other sources yet to be configured... I saw someoe mentioned Wiby - totally forgot to include that. Going to do it this weekend!

My project aims spark curiosity and provide a portal to the vast collection of interesting material hidden by the commercial web. The source material is compiled with care by users of these aggregation platforms. Since this accumulation is performed by hand, pages are saved because they had an effect on the users who saved them. Hopefully you will find things that have an effect on you. Everything opens in a new tab, so you can easily close and jump again. I find that it's fun to map the jump function (https://moonjump.app/jump) to a keyboard shortcut.

Try it out: https://moonjump.app
TLS and certificate pinning makes this a problem. Technically certificates don't have to be pinned, but if they weren't then people would use this to defeat "growth & engagement" and block analytics, ads, etc (or worse, reverse-engineer the API to make a third-party client) and we obviously can't have that.
Downside: if attackers can tell that you've enabled Lockdown Mode, then they know that you're likely a high-value target.
I fully understand serverless billing, which is why I told you its advantage: scaling to 0 for functions you almost never use. But if you are running literally ANYTHING else, you can get that advantage yourself: run your "serverless microservice" as a *library* inside its caller. You don't need the overhead of an RPC to enforce separation of concerns.

A small startup can pay $5/month to run a monolith on a tiny server commensurate with its use. It can scale that monolith up with use, from a $5 VM offering 1 core and a tiny bit of RAM all the way to a two-socket server VM offering 110+ cores and 512 GB of RAM. Alternatively, a large company can scale nearly infinitely with horizontal scaling. When I worked on a service with a trillion QPS and 50% usage swings at a mega-Corp, that's what we did. All our customers, even the ones with a measly 1 million QPS did the same. And their customers, and their customers, and so on.

"Serverless" was something sold to fashionable tech startups and non-technical people who didn't have the expertise to maintain the VMs/containers they needed. The serverless systems carried a huge price premium too. Everyone with true scale understood that there are servers there, and you are going to pay to manage them whether you want to or not.
> It's the first such flag-raise I've seen.

“Flag-raise” seems a bit hyperbolic but at any rate I think the BSA asserted such reach and power, long ago. Both have to act within the oversight of actual nation states.

> Most message attachment types other than images are blocked.

Who wants to bet that this reflects minimum requirements dictated for user experience, rather than reflecting what Apple are actually securing today ?

The correct model here, the one that would actually defeat these adversaries, is to start with what you can actually secure and expand from there, prioritising customer needs. This delivers security improvements for all customers, but it makes the calculus simple for Lockdown customers, whatever Lockdown allows will be OK.

Suppose today Apple has a working safe BMP reader, and a working safe WAV reader, but they're still using their ratty JPEG and MP3 implementations. As described, this feature says you can receive a JPEG attachment (which takes over your phone and results in your cousin who remains in the country being identified as a contact and imprisoned) but you can't listen to the WAV file an informant sent you because that's "dangerous"...

Hi there, author here, this collection marks the sixth year of writing essays on themes like machine learning, entrepreneurship, and quantum computing. Through the project we've published a python library, had workshop papers at research conferences like ICLR and NeurIPS, and yeah just had a lot of fun. Some thanks owed to the Hacker News feed for fueling us with diversions over the years. Never quite made it into YC but you know what I think the essays may have turned out better as a result. Cheers.
Thanks :) Enjoy! Shoot me an email when you've read it. I'd love to hear about what you've learned.
