You are correct, I woke up one day to 5 different servers in different env not responding. Across clouds (AWS+Azure). Total meltdown, are we hacked? Is the cloud down?

Nope. Just ubuntu deploying docker update that had problem restarting the docker service again. Simple restart fixed all of them.

But I guess people do have some bias, since on PC, windows updates are really predatory.

I've found DDB to be exceptional for use cases where eventual consistency is OK and you have a few well defined query patterns. This is a large number of use cases so it's not too limiting. As the number of query patterns grow, indices grow, and costs grow (or pray for your soul you attempt to use DDB transactions to write multiple keys to support differing query patterns). If you need strong consistency, your cost and latency also increases.

Oh, and I'd avoid DAX. Write your own cache layer. The query cache vs. item cache separation[1] in DAX is a giant footgun. It's also very under supported. There still isn't a DAX client for AWS SDK v2 in Go for example[2].

The way that I learnt the ins and outs of DynamoDB (and there is a lot to learn if you want to use it effectively) is by implementing all the Redis data structures and commands on it. That helped understand both systems in one shot.

The key concept in Dynamo is that you use a partition key on all your bits of data (my mental model is that you get one server per partition) and you then can arrange data using a sort key in that partition. You can then range/inequality query over the sort keys. That’s the gist of it.

The power and scalability comes from the fact that each partition can be individually allocated and scaled, so as long as you spread over partitions you have practically no limits.

And you can do quite a bit with that sort key range/inequality thing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much of Redis I could implement: https://github.com/dbProjectRED/redimo.go
In the 90s I worked on a project to digitize land registration in Taiwan.

In order to record deeds and property transfers, we needed to enter people's names and official registered addresses into the computer system. The problem was that some people used non-traditional writing variants for their names, and some of their birthplaces were tiny places in China with weird names.

Someone might write their name with a two-dot water radical instead of three-dot radical. We would print it out in the normal font, and the people would lose their minds, saying that it was wrong. Chinese people can be superstitious about the number of strokes in their name, so adding a stroke might make it unlucky, so they would not buy the property.

The customer went to the agency responsible for managing the big character set, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNS_11643
Despite having more characters than anything else on earth, it didn't have those variants. The agency said they would not encode them, because they were not real characters, just printing differences.

The solution was for the staff in the office to use a "font maker" program to create a custom font with these characters. Then they could print out the deeds using a Chinese variant of Adobe Acrobat, and everyone was happy.

Extreme nitpick:

> InstallCore was also behind a fake installer for a Windows version of Snapchat, a program that's only ever been available on mobile. It would instead install Android emulator BlueStacks, as well as the usual injection of adware.

This was true in 2015 when the referenced blog post was written.

Nowadays Snapchat is not only available on mobile; there is a web client. Additionally, on Mac OS, there is an officially supported emulation (virtualization?) layer that allows you to run iOS apps (at least in theory; I’ve never tried it).

EDIT: this comment is almost entirely wrong, sorry! I’ll leave it up since people have replied to it. I don’t know why I thought there was a web client - maybe I was thinking of snap map. And I thought that you could run any iOS app on Apple M1, but apparently this is not true. (While I was searching this, I believe I also encountered articles promoting the same malware described in the OP!)
> Roe v Wade was the first time the question of abortion rights was put before the supreme court.

If the Supreme Court does not hear a case, it is tacitly saying it agrees with the lower court's decision. If in 105 years no-one argued before the lower or supreme courts that abortion is constitutionally protected (or did argue it, but did not convince any judges), that's a strong signal that the legal profession, courts included, did not consider abortion bans unconstitutional.

It stretches credulity that in a century of abortion convictions, no lawyer thought to argue their constitutionality, and no judge considered it. It's not impossible, but I'd need a decent source to believe it.
I doubt any of those are implementing vector instructions. If they do, then renaming is a relatively small addition in comparison.
The company I used to work at started out in MS BASIC sometime in the early 80's. The founder is a mechanical engineer who started programming all the formulas he was using instead of cranking them by hand every time. In the 90's, he ported it to VB and turned it into a GUI application for Windows 3.1. In the early 00's, the company had to switch over to using C++ for a fair amount of the UI, but the core off the application is still that library of VB code (now VB.NET) that was started in the 80's, and the RAD tools for VB was what allowed them to stand out as a mechanical design program earlier than most of the other tools.

I've been reading this on functional JS:

For example, functions that return functions:

So it's an assignment, leading me to think it's a statement, but then using filter later would be an expression?

Civil courts deal with "defective" products, legislatures deal with harmful products. I had an ATC growing up, so many people died on them they outlawed the design - mainly because it was pretty easy to endo with the wrong tires. Interestingly, we still had one, and it wasn't illegal for me to operate, but you definitely couldn't buy another one legally.

It's a common problem that organizations will put some money in to start something up but not spend the money and do the work to keep it going. It's even worse if there are a number of different organizations involved: there might be a group that runs 100 chargers (one of a large number of groups) and then some business that has the charger at one location.

I think of how I'm hesitant to order food online for pickup at a small restaurant in my area unless I know their web site really works. There are sites that take orders for restaurants that have nothing to do with the restaurant, and then other restaurants who have their own site but between technology and process you can't trust it.

If I pull into some place I've never been it's a leap of faith that facilities like electric car chargers are what they are claimed to be and it takes work to build a brand such that people know the organization behind it really delivers what it promises.

Usually those indexes are not as diversified as the US index is. Take German DAX for example. It's mostly made up by chemical, car and industrial companies. The post-war German economy did really great as well, but many leading German companies are private. Furthermore, the USA is one of the biggest economies in the world, way bigger than most single countries on their own.
> it's interesting that the negative emotions didn't trigger until it becomes news.

This doesn't seem to accurately reflect Maree's own description of events.

Given that she said he interrupted her quiet time and then left her with an annoying problem to solve (what do I do with these flowers I don't want?), it's clear that this interaction started with negative emotions.

Just the scale of negative emotions increased when the scale of the interaction increased. Which makes sense - imagine being reminded dozens of times over a period of days about what started as a minor negative experience.
That's not at all a reasonable characterization of 230.

Index funds invests in the whole economy, so when they are overhyped people will over invest in the whole economy, that is the main danger. But yes, the invest/cash out cycle is probably longer than other kinds of investments, so wee see a longer bull run than normal but likely we will also see a longer/deeper recession than normal for the same reason.

The quote from Richard Rumelt:

> "A good strategy includes a set of coherent actions. They are not "implementation" details; they are the punch in the strategy. A strategy that fails to define a variety of plausible and feasible immediate actions is missing a critical component."

Hints at something important. It is also assertive and convincing, dangerously so. Note that Rumelt is apparently smart and influential but also an academic.

The good part is that strategy is layered and gradual. There's probably no clear semantic line where strategy stops and operations or tactics start. The thing he criticizes here is a strategy that is too vague and incomplete.

The bad part is that he seems to fall into a very typical trap. The more concrete and detailed a strategy is, the more it bleeds into decisions that should not be made top down. A strategy that is too detailed fails to acknowledge the complexities of life and it dangerously assumes two things: Thinkers are smarter than they are, doers cannot make too many good ad-hoc decisions.

It might sound very good in the ears of some thinkers and decision makers, because it inflates their ego. Be wary of that. It's a red flag. It also sounds nice because seems to remove risk and the human factor, with a perfect strategy, you might assume that people are interchangeable. It's simply not the case.

A good strategy is simple and short enough so it can be taught in less than one hour or so and understood by everyone. The most efficient organizations, teams, armies, communities, groups etc. that have proven to succeed under the most adversity, pretty much all have rock solid, agreed upon core principles and plans that everyone executes dynamically in a decentralized fashion.

Don't be fooled by 'too big to fail'-type oligopolies. They are often past the point where they need to do anything more than risk mitigation and value extraction. Anything else is just keeping people busy. Look at how people survive or win 'against all odds', especially if they can pull it off consistently and over long periods of time.

Agreed that changing a UA is definitely the easier short term solution.

The downside is that in the long run, you’re signalling to a consumer-hostile business that you’re happy for them to continue to be hostile towards you.

When dealing with duopolies, pragmatic solutions are all there are. When dealing with highly competitive marketplaces, ‘pragmatism’ and ‘laziness’ can often overlap in both positive and negative ways.

A positive pragmatic lazy solution I found to consolidate all the different registrars I used was to use Hover’s transfer-in concierge service. Of course, this now means giving money to Tucows instead, but they offend me less than GD.
> There's no dispute there are deleterious effects of sleep deprivation and accruing sleep debt, and that people would be better off with a full 8 hours of sleep.

I question this, given that modern hunter gatherers only get about 6.5-7.0 (quality) hours of sleep.

Probably, most of us in the modern world have poor quality sleep, and this confounds epidemiological studies by creating the illusion that we need long duration of sleep.

There's also genetic variability in sleep duration needs. A small number of people are legitimately fine on 4-5 hours.

> also produce the same finding amongst people averaging over 9 hours a night.

Again, confounds. Depressed people, unemployed people, etc. The problems with empirical sleep research are largely methodological problems that all of epidemiology faces.

A small short-lived productivity increase, followed by a mad rush of other services trying to spin up (or scale up if already running) and piling lots of man-hours into advertising themselves as the best replacement. Also many miles of column-space pontificating on the whys/wherefores, and a few people will try to sue because there was one little bit of irreplaceable information on there that is vital to them and they didn't have backed up elsewhere. Other than that, little or nothing of long-lasting consequence I expect.

The building he designed in Cleveland, the Peter B. Lewis building on the campus of Case Western, suffers from the winter fate of having ice and snow avalanche off the classic Gehry roof design. Initially, I don't think this was accounted for and people were getting hit. Eventually, they figured out that they needed more specific walkways where the snow wouldn't hit pedestrians.

The building also stood out substantially for quite some time. That part of campus was mainly comprised of buildings from the early 1900's. Today, a lot of new construction has sprung up around that area so it's not quite as jarring, but like any Gehry building, it still stands out.
Thanks for sharing!

I view things like perfect pitch as distinct from a strong musical recollection. With effort, I can transcribe music and eventually learn it, but it's a separate skill in my mind.

The ability to "listen" to songs by recalling them is more what I was referring to when discussing my experiences. I'm with you on the non-existent ability to recall imagery.

I have no idea if there is some type of connection between the two, but it's interesting that at least two of us seem to have similar experiences!

How simple is the design?

Piggy backing on the Wolfe link:

The criticisms of modernism in the 70s were already very precise and perceptive. See also for example Jane Jacobs or Christopher Alexander. However, instead, it pushed us into the pageantry of post-modernism, which, even though less bad, didn't really create a paradigm shift. It still conceived the building-proper as a sculpture, with all the idiocy that implies.
