More than anything else, I've been surprised by the number of cryptocurrency acquaintances I know who have uprooted and moved to Florida. They've all cited taxes and cheap housing as primary motivators when asked initially, but there's also a significant network effect: they mention it as being an area where the tech community is actually friendly to them.

I don't particularly like cryptocurrencies, but I found that thought-provoking.
> Getting rid leaded avgas

I was shocked to hear that leaded gasoline is still around, so I did a quick search. Turns out most (all?) piston-engine driven airplanes still run on leaded gas. Jet airliners don't, so I'm not sure if the overall impact is significant, but nonetheless shocking to hear that we're still spraying lead into the air we breathe.
In principle yes, but in practice no:

A phone number is fine for 99% of users.

They recommend that users with higher-than-average security requirements set a PIN, which removes phone number attacks from the threat model, but you're still dependent on the security of SGX.

Users with extreme security requirements can set a 42 character alphanumeric PIN, thus also excluding SGX from the picture, but at that point you're getting owned no matter what you do.
I thought I was going to be an egnineer, and my decisions would be based on physics.

But I am more of a writer and decisions are driven by fashion
this looks like a great solution to problems in serverless application development. I would be interested in how this does or does not overlap with the AWS toolkit:

https://aws.amazon.com/intellij/

https://aws.amazon.com/pycharm/

https://aws.amazon.com/visualstudiocode/

I have used the Pycharm in Python Lambda development and I was able to set a breakpoint in my IDE and hit it and see the status of all my variables.

Is MerLoc an alternative to that?
Your distro is literally named after a penguin, so what's your point? :D
You don’t have to be friends with neighbors to have the sense of community. Just being polite and having occasional conversations, knowing the names, collecting a package for a neighbor or helping to carry some stuff to next floor is the social fabric that eventually creates that feeling. You notice when somebody moved out and you miss them, you are curious when somebody moved in, a bit afraid until you see their dog or their cute child… I find this life truly enjoyable.
Damn happy none of those "features" exist
> So basically it becomes a self-perpetuating meme.

Sometimes many people in different places have had concerns, or ideas for a better way forward, for some time but have either but spoken up or have had the "everyone else seems to be dealing with it" reaction.

In such cases it takes a certain critical mass of information supporting the change to get movement, that critical mass builds slowly but once it is reached the immediate reaction can appear explosive, and there are sometimes aftershocks back & forth, much like an earthquake caused by plate movement.

So while there is some self fulfilling chain reaction feeding into it, there is usually some true need involved for a lot of the teams concerned.
If you want to help the disadvantaged, don’t kid yourself that removing jquery from your website is doing it.
Yeah, seems odd to a western native speaker because it's a statement not a question, despite the use of a wh-word.
> for maximum accuracy and efficiency of weight loss

That's the point though... "ain't nobody got time for that" is the reason most of us fail at high performance diets. We need the simplest, most minimal first step which can become habit (and which also likely leads to _some_ weight loss, even if not maximum). Once that very significant behavior is changed (choosing better foods), then it can be refined.
They certainly COULD do some of that stuff, but so much is open at this point, that I tend to think that a consortium of large businesses with hundreds of billions on the line would get together and form the .ORG alliance or something like that to rebrand and make it fully independent from MS. The entire runtime and compiler are MIT licensed so with enough motivation provided, Microsoft's customers could easily break away, hire their top .NET engineers, and build an entirely independent ecosystem.

I just can't imagine it makes any business sense to be that hostile in today's world.
So you think in... 27 months Germany can replace its entire power generation infrastructure with wind and solar, eliminate all non-electric appliances, and get almost everybody a new car?

Like do you honestly believe this?
Out of all the distributions I've tested, pure arch has been the most stable, most documented, most fixable distro yet I've dealt with yet
I just opened one 2 weekends ago. I bought a kit (because of the really nice bottles), but then ignored the instructions and found significantly better recipes online. First time I've fermented one, and it came out gloriously.

I'm proud of the result because it tastes nothing like other hot sauces I've had (and there have been very many!), but also doesn't taste the least bit strange or out-of-place. I expected it to taste like Tabasco, but it came out more like Hunan because of a much darker flavour.

I also make regular hot sauces with fruits and herbs that I forage from the neighbourhood. My current dipper is a slightly smokey medium heat made with morita, cascabel and guajira peppers, plum-like damson fruit and some wild mint that I lovingly call "ditch-mint" because that's where I found it. It would probably work fermented, but I've only tried fermenting once so far.

Once you get the connection with how certain ingredients alter the taste and texture when combined, you can pretty much wing it as you go. The more complex, the better. There is a balance, and you quickly learn flavourful vinegars / citrus, and sweeteners (brown sugar/honey/maple) will balance out just about any amount of spices and herbs. It's very rewarding if you like hot sauces, dips, marinades, etc, and the results will pretty much always make you feel like an old pro.
For the bottom up side of this, https://deeplearning.ai. Where fast.ai gets you started training models immediately, deeplearning.ai has you implementing neural nets from scratch in NumPy then transitions to TensorFlow.
Also means it's price should get discounted for that swapping out, and for "essential" stuff, like the things you stock spares for, your customers will have to go through two cycles of swapping.
The problem is current AI generation contain no creativity, they are trained from human made data set. And machine generated data set is also learnt from human data
I am guessing that you are upper caste, which is why it didn't really come up. If you were lower caste it would have been a different story.
I reinstall once a year. Nowadays, with PXE booting, preseed files, and automation like Ansible, everything is pretty much automated for me.

This goes for both my personal and work laptops. Both have been running some version of Debian for the last ten years. For the previous four/five years, I've been on Debian Sid, and I may run into an issue about every other year that requires me to use timeshift to go back to yesterday's OS backup.

With the proper backup and automation strategies in place, I do not see a point in not doing a reinstall periodically. It definitely gives me peace of mind knowing I can be back online and 98% percent functional in under an hour in most cases on just about every device in the house.
Likewise. I'd never want to have to take out my handheld computer, boot it up, and connect it to the internet just to kill 2 minutes looking at pictures of cats, when I can just as easily look at my wallet full of cat Polaroids.

I see a future where you blink twice to power up your ocular nerve implants for a few minutes of stim, then power 'em down when you get a popup that your buddy is nearby and ordering drinks.
Well, the wife has a chromebook, and the kid is moved out on her own and pretty much only uses a phone anyway, so it's a pretty nice world, to be honest :)

At some point I'm tempted to get a fat server going so I can do my dev work remotely to it using a super light weight / long battery life laptop, but that's a complication too far at the moment.
Insane that Greenpeace is anti-nuclear. Really undermines the organizations goals.
No, I give our youth more credit than that. As an example, they are rejecting some social media, looking for more meaningful interactions... still using both online and in-person. But they see what looks off about the older generations' behaviors with tech, and they back away from things where needed.

We'll likely have some back and forth, but generational differences frequently balance out unhealthy trajectories in the long run.
I don't live there, and don't really have a particular ax to grind here but it looks like Miami is building a lot of flood control infrastructure pretty quickly.
If Redis LFU mode improved LRU then why they kept the LRU mode?
The official recommendation by Redis is to use LRU.

Nuclear power is the only hope of modern civilization (fusion of course, not fission). It is also an insanely clean source of power if you look at how much energy it produces compared to how much nuclear waste it produces.

I encourage you to read this very short link from the US government: https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-...

You will see that not only all the nuclear waste ever produced would fit in a single football stadium, but on top of that, the "waste" can actually be reused in other nuclear power plants.
Florida is probably going to be one of the worst-impacted states from climate change, in a lot of different ways, so this is an interesting choice.
Paxos and viewstamped replication are basically the two most well known other well-known asynchronous consensus mechanisms that have been mathematically verified.

If you just need eventual consistency, CRDTs are also possible.

Going in the other direction, if you don't mind the latency full consensus with global locking, you could just do that.
They strapped on an Android tablet and called it a day. From my experience (ex-mobile game dev, Medical SaaS), Android tablets are very slow. We encourage our customers to not buy Android tablets because the patient experience is not the greatest.
You know what Florida has besides taxes? User fees. You can take a brand-new highway here and it'll be a toll road, which means you're the one paying for it, not unrelated taxpayers around the state. You can even finance the construction with private-public partnerships tied to the specific project's success. And because people pay for this infrastructure, it discourages frivolous uses, like the induced demand of overbuilding in the exurbs.
I've long-considered that social media outrage, even something tech-specific like blog articles getting passed around on HN, is sadly sometimes the most effective form of customer service on these huge platforms that have mostly automated support:

Oh, hey, over a decade ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2493645#2494528

As far as it being commoditized, I think it might work a little differently in examples like the OP where the outraged people is the workforce itself. It's a more focused audience.
A couple other suggestions, although still not certain:

> Use for "small boat" is first recorded 1670s, probably from a phrase similar to "vessels of small craft" and referring either to the trade they did or the seamanship they required, or perhaps it preserves the word in its original sense of "power."

I'd never even though about this, so thanks for that.
Are Lambda functions doing so much now that they they can’t just be run locally?

I get that if you’re trying to access some AWS service, this could be helpful but in that case I thought the general consensus is basically mock things out.
And when you've got the concepts, some fairly readable GPLed code is here:

https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/blob/master/src/srf...

It used to culminate in a function for finding a point at the intersection of 3 rational Bezier surfaces, but we had to add something less exciting at the end.
I keep getting RedoxOS (Unix-like in Rust) and ReactOS (WindowsNT clone) confused whenever I see them.
“Nuclear power plants are not the solution to climate change. To make fuels for nuclear power plants, we have to go through the whole process of uranium mining, transporting, and disposing. Considering this fact, there will be a lot of carbon emissions.”

When you're so rabidly anti-nuclear that you ignore the fact uranium is 1.5 million times as energy-dense as coal, you are an ideologue. Uranium has so much energy per kilogram you could fuel the world's reactors by shipping it via airplane.

There's plenty to criticize about the environmental damage of uranium mining. Carbon emissions is not one of them.

It's my opinion this choice to attack nuclear energy by casting it in whatever critical light is trendy rather than its actual weaknesses demonstrates Morgan is against nuclear energy for ideological reasons that have nothing to do with its actual dangers, hence she is doing little or no risk/reward calculation, and that her future choices will not be based on human energy needs and accurate assessments of nuclear technology and industry.
- All chargers require a screen telling you the kilowatt hours bill rate.

- Tesla's Superchargers currently lack that (in-app only).

- Tesla is currently working to fix it. The German government is willing to wait for Tesla to fix it.

The full title says the "illegality" is a technicality, and I'd agree. This is a whole lot of nothing from any point of view.
Humans have used fire for heat in cold climates for millennia. Many dwellings lack the facilities to heat with open flame anymore.
Some of the new piston planes I believe are rated to use unleaded but the problem has been legislation and the FAA regarding getting unleaded approved to make it legal and ubiquitous
How does that pan out as an application grows and you're pulling in the same dep across numerous files?
Yeah that's a bit confusing. The deferred join in the book does indeed use an inner join but my package (and PlanetScale's) both use a "deconstructed subquery."

I made that choice for mine because I didn't want to pollute the `select` part of the developer's query to exclude the joined data. If we were writing the whole query from scratch we could, but not in the scenario where the package is actually used, unfortunately.
> Texas has warm weather

understatement in the extreme?
> People want quality public infra, but don't want to pay taxes. Sounds like a losing battle to me.

A lot of people don't really want quality public infra. If they can pay for their own needs themselves, in their gated communities etc., they would rather do that than pay taxes. The people described in this article are wealthy. They want quality private infra.
Well said, I had no words- this is literally a thread about them doing just that.

Also not just killing but making worse like the Nvidia Shield.

How are there still googlw apologists?
I'm not sure this is any different than 5 years ago.
- There also is Paxos[0] as the most significant option.

- You should not have too many nodes to make a decision, this is usually reserved for leaders; if you have a large distributed system you may clusterize them or forward decisions to leaders, whom decide for consensus. If you clusterize, the leaders for each node can also be selected by consensus. If you can't do any of those then having a consensus protocol might not even be a good idea; you'd end up with a sort of merkle tree (or some sort of blockchain) to make sure all the data is registered, or maybe audit transactions. In any case this[1] might be interesting.

I've seen a lot of people recommend this approach when searching for solutions online. I was trying to embrace the apple way, rather than forcing it to match what I'm used to. Your comment might be the push I need to just give up and force it to match what I'm used to.

But if this is the case, why do so many developers buy and enjoy macbooks? It seems ridiculous that you have to pay such a premium for a nice laptop, and then find random 3rd party applications to make it work the way you want.

If I wanted to endlessly tinker then I'd be happy with Linux. I was under the impression that macbooks would "just work". I've also been disappointed by poor UX in some cases, like randomly showing "enter your password" dialogs.
I didn't want to make too fine a point of it!

But yes: plenty of states have been embarrassingly open to financial fraud in the form of cryptocurrency in the name of innovation, and Florida stands out even in that regard. One can't help but wonder whether Florida's political leadership has made the savvy (and cynical) decision to pump reactionary economic sentiment, as a leader for their own reactionary political sentiments.
I don't think it could have been just that? Usage peaked in 1984, but it rose quite steadily starting in the early 70s.

I do assume most of the increase in usage was related to computers/software, however. The timing is right.
Some people cram their entire application into a single lambda. Others are a little better and have their application spread out amongst multiple lambdas.

Based on the other comments I thought this article would be suggesting that there's a new trend taking place with people in their 30s. The author does seem to be trying to position it as "hey look at this interesting phenomenon" but doesn't actually claim that it's new in any way.

So basically: we're becoming our parents, or repeating a story that every generation goes through. Personally, my parents had piles of records from the 60s-80s but didn't listen to that much music. I do listen to a few hours of music each day, including whatever new stuff I can find, but it's mainly work noise to cover up other sounds.

Some of the declining interest can be likened to comedy. When you're 15 or 25, there are a lot of jokes you haven't heard before. If you're 35... or 65... certain routines start sounding pretty worn out. With music I suspect there's also a social learning component: we fall in love with music when we're young and still trying to find our place in the world. Music tickles the same communication centers in the brain that are used for social positioning, and the value of that, also, fades later on.
Houses with central heating are designed with central heating in mind. They tend to fail in ugly ways, if that stops working. You lose warm water, water pipes may freeze and break, mold can grow etc.

If you don't want to essentially demolish such a house next spring, you definitely need to provide at least a minimum of heat to the entire house and as you can't exactly do campfires inside you have to centrally heat it.
My fault - I started this whole thing, and wish I hadn't. The actual point is totally reasonable, but poorly communicated.

But the issue is not about the poster confusing their point, it's about them blaming the respondent for misunderstanding what the poster was saying, saying the respondent read "should" instead of "could", but the poster actually wrote "should".

"I wasn't being confusing, you just misunderstood!" is a pretty bad-faith argument to make in general, that's what I was trying to point out. But there must be some language barrier thing going on, because the original poster just doubled-down on the bad faith argumentation :shrug:

This whole subthread is pointless.
This is obviously a (hacky) work-around. Firebase Functions are designed to be deployed individually- abandoning that costs you GCP log traces and boilerplate right off the bat. Read the Firebase Functions documentation, and you'll see no mention of designing your application this way.
Maybe. But it depends on the time window. For example, it would seem to be unwise to build a multi-million dollar house just a few feet above sea level given the dire projections of sea level rise. However Obama’s new house is just that. So if you are only looking at a time horizon of 60 years, Florida is in a pretty good spot.
It's just a parameter and thinking of it as time is not helpful. When you get to Bezier surfaces they have 2 such parameters often called U and V. Thinking of it as time breaks down then.
YMMV, but a very large percentage of people I know who have claimed that SF/NYC isn't "friendly" enough to tech have, upon further elucidation, zero emotional intelligence around gentrification and almost universally think of Uber and WeWork as success stories.

This is to say, in case it's not clear, that being "friendly" just isn't enough for them; they want everyone around them to acknowledge just how great and special tech is. If you're not kissing their ass, you're not being friendly.
Is it only for simple pagination?
Hi,
As far as I see, yhe plugins you mentioned just runs the function as a standalone app.

But MerLoc runs it on your local as a part of AWS cloud infr This means that function is triggered from real events, runs againts real AWS services and again response is returned to real AWS services
Admittedly I'm French and the negative connotation of this word might not have carried to English but looking at an English dictionary [1] it does seem to me that's it's something you would only say of someone you disagree with.

That was my immediate thought. Why would anyone permanently relocate to an area just a few feet above sea level in 2022?
It is handled by W-TinyLFU where I use this scenario as a stress test [1]. While LIRS / LIRS2 did not pass this one scenario, the quality of the work behind that policy leads me to believe it could be improved to handle that case.

I suspect it was a shortening of watercraft. According to wiktionary the use of the word for water vessels was originally used for smaller loading craft. So using the older Germanic meaning of "by means of", the phrase "it got here by watercraft" could be translated as "it got here by means of water". One could assume that it wouldn't take much for the word to go from preposition to noun; especially in the context of agglutinates and abbreviations.

The English word "boat" comes directly from German; "das Boot".
