I had amazing AWS reps, that I had a good personal relationship. Request your rep to visit your office, and have lunch.

Seriously.

The best reps I had from AWS moved to GCP, and while I couldnt move my loads from AWS to GCP, I still had a good relationship with them. One of the best things an account rep can do is understand your business, and, in my case, actually pushed for changes in the system to our benefit based on how we were using the system.

They have evolved a lot since that occurred, but a good rep is going to seriously push for your success. (They want you to be successful and increase your use! :-) and thats a good ting)

So, make requests for your reps to meet with you face to face.
If they didn't send the exact same tools they use people will complain that they aren’t sharing the real tools.

It’s a lose lose situation.
OSM doesn't have a server per se (other than the OSM API server). It's a dataset for the most part. Headway lets you bring up a server that will render maps tiles, allows you to search for places and get routes between places. It's trying to be a user-friendly UI for various pieces of the OSM ecosystem. There are a lot of amazing pieces of software out there that work with OSM data, but there isn't an easy way to bring them up, and there's no unified frontend for all of them other than Headway (that I know of).

Edit: To the comments telling me I'm wrong about this, remember that Headway has a geocoder and routing system, along with a transit trip planner (currently disabled on maps.earth though). These are not things you could get with off-the-shelf solutions that include a GUI until now. I also want to self-host my mapping software for privacy reasons, and Headway makes that easy too. I probably need to be better about explaining what all Headway does that's different than just bringing up an OSM tileserver though. Thank you all for the feedback :)

I saved some money buying a pair of "driven once" tires recently. I was told that due to some regulation or another, no reputable tire shop was legally allowed to install them on my vehicle. I was forced to find a mom and pop shop who would do it for cash.

When 'professionalism' degrades experience, a basic lack of professionalism is exactly what people are shopping for.
If you buy a hackintosh, you have to sometimes mess around to get stuff to work. Same goes for Linux on random hardware. If you check first and buy a machine that supports the OS you're using, you don't have to do anything special. It'll work as you expect.

It's freeing not to be beholden to the likes of someone like Tim Cook who, it would seem, spends the majority of his waking hours figuring out how to hide anticonsumer decisions under rugs.
It's about fiscal policy. The EU has no unified fiscal policy. It can't raise taxes for transfers from north to south.

Almost every economist said in 98 that the euro is a bad idea. And it is for the south of Europe. It's great for the north and Germany especially, but for the south it is and has a killer.

In my opinion, the Euro will ultimately break the current EU.
Check out BBS: The Documentary - I think it is freely streaming somewhere at this point. Jason Scott made a huge, in-depth analysis of BBSes and their impact.

There are many elements from that era that still exist in a weird way. The core limitation of connecting to a BBS was that it was a normal phone call and would tie up your phone line. And before cell phones, calling outside your area code was expensive! Likely $1 a minute in the 80s.

So BBS communities tended to be local and quasi-anonymous, and often turned into real life meetups. You would log on, check your messages, your door games and some forums then leave. Door games were structured much like phone games now with limited moves per day, but done for phone line reasons instead of gamification/rev generation.

> The PoC that has been sent to CrowdStrike was flagged as malicious. The msiexec call of the deinstaller was also flagged as malicious.

As someone who was once part of an endpoint security team, I wouldn't be so quick to judge.

If CrowdStrike operates like any anti-virus software company, there are multiple teams. There would be a small engine team, a team that deals with Windows integration, then there would be a much much bigger malware analyst team(s), then another team that deals with 'active machine learning' (CrowdStrike's bread and butter). Then some senior managers oversee them all.

It's possible that the engine team and the analyst team have a case of 'left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.' They both got the report, and they behave differently as the engine team has a different goal from the analyst's team.

From the analyst team's point of view, their job is to detect all potentially malicious threat, sources be damned. While the engine team takes their sweet time, the analyst team just figures "hey this binary attacks our software. We don't know if the engine team would have fix the bug then, or if the bug is even real. We should blacklist it just-in-case or else when the binary in the public, some joker with an auto scanner will use this binary to show they got around our detection. Then our team would get blame for it. Better be safe than sorry."

Yes we all know detecting binary PoC are close to useless, but if you don't do it, then you'd get a flood of (useless) reports later...

I'm going to guess you don't have kids.
I have no kids nor have I ever had to transport kids so have no experience in this area, but I would guess it would be possible to design a multi-child car seat that can fit N kids in less space than N 1-child car seats.

A bit of Googling turns up a company doing that [1], but those are not legal in the US. They are legal in Europe, though. Does Europe have looser standards for child car seats? Do US standards preclude doing something like this in the US?

The direction of that roundabout might be mis-tagged on OpenStreetMap. Would you be comfortable sending me the location, so I can see about fixing it?
There is also a hub effect aside from pay. Shannen has all the electronics companies because it is a huge where you can buy anything. A hub can happen randomly outside of policy, like a crystal growing in solution (and it can also be triggered if there isnt one, like dipping a string into super saturated cooled solution).

Remote work is kind of in the process of dissolving the crystallization for software.
That's a very generalist statement that doesn't explain much.

That is totally to forgot that Italy has been cost reduction/ austerity since the 90's. Precisely when it's started to do that, its economy stalled.

Carbon offsets. Hate them or love them, they’re here to stay. The market for offsets, in the doldrums for decades, has doubled at a rapid clip the last few years, with no signs of slowing. As long as we have emissions, I suspect we’ll have offsets or credits to abate them.
> Can someone explain to me how raising interest rates combats inflation?

ELI5:

Inflation is directly proportional to the money supply. The more money is circulating, the more things cost.

Money supply is inversely proportional to interest rates. If I could borrow at 0% APR, I will happily borrow a trillion dollars, even if I had no idea what to do with it.

And now the important thing: In modern economies, when people borrow money, that money is magically created out of thin air and added to the money supply.

This means that when interest rates drop, money supply goes up, and inflation goes up.

When interest rates rise, money supply goes down, and inflation goes down.

There's a lag to these effects, and there's a limit to how much interest rates can affect inflation, and there are other factors at play, but this is the bare bones of it.
Uh, you forget that those US companies make a profit off of those engineers! How you break the cycle is simple: you find a way to pay those engineers more, so they stay at home AND you put the profit in your pocket. There are plenty of large companies in the EU that could do this.

But they don't. They're too cheap, or perhaps EU style managers can't stand the idea that some people in the same company as them make half as much as they do.

I'm not at all surprised if teachers in Nebraska get a shittier deal than teachers in California or Illinois, but if you click around the financials for the DC West school district, teachers in suburban Omaha are routinely making 85k+. These teachers do not have doctorates. Note that the base salary of a teacher is just the floor on their compensation; they make substantial additional money from extracurriculars and in-school mentoring work.

Not yet, looks like there will be based on what I've seen on twitter.
Do you believe that worker unionization is more state power and intervention?
Sure, it's tongue in cheek, but there is a tragedy of the commons in there: whatever massive waste devs and their employers inflict on society goes unpunished because there is no incentive to change that behaviour. Was suggesting some activist subvert computer misuse laws to fix this. Primary legislation or big tech using its weight would do as well.

In the physical world one can't dump a rusty aircraft carrier on someone else's lawn and get away with it. Should be the same in tech.

Years ago, I used a cheap droplet on DO as an IRC bouncer to hide my home IP address. Someone came into a channel I was an op in and started spamming racial slurs, so I did what a normal op does and banned them.

They proceeded to DDoS my droplet.

Only a couple minutes later, DO responded by disconnecting my droplet from the Internet for 3 hours, supposedly to protect other customers. Thanks, DO, you let the DDoSer win. My droplet was handling the attack just fine, it just made my IRC connection a little laggy.

As a $5/month customer, I was just small potatoes, for sure. But I had ideas for products in the future, and I decided that I would not use DO for them, knowing that some skiddie could just take it offline for 3 hours by just packet flooding it for a couple minutes.
The competition is tough in the data warehousing industry, if Snowflake is expensive people will know. Current customers may not leave but it's going to be harder for them to get new customers.
Ohohoh yeah sure, you mean application based constraints? Or an Entity–attribute–value base application ? What about documents?
> Otherwise, get over it and be careful with your stuff if you can’t afford the repair.

I don't know if you're an engineer, but if you are you probably don't take the same approach to errors in your software. Being careful is only part of the solution to reducing risk. Another is adopting practices and patterns that are less error-prone. And another is to reduce the impact of errors when they do happen.

With a software service, we might have redundancy, and a watchdog or orchestration system that restarts any instances that crash. With a laptop, we might purchase accidental damage insurance, or just decide to buy a brand that is cheaper to repair.

When humans are involved, "be more careful" is rarely a successful strategy on its own.
The goal is to keep it out of court or some other tribunal.

Without a contract, discrimination law is the sole course of action to fight an adverse employer situation.

Eliminating a position leaves a company open for problems, particularly if it isn’t true. Much easier to determine that you didn’t charge vacation time correctly or violated a series of minor/moderate rules.
I frequently hear about "startup-favourable climate" in Estonia, but how good it really is and at what stage. A good analogy may be tourism. When you come as a tourist to a village in a middle of nowhere you get all the hospitality and attention. When you come to Paris, shop sellers can yell at you 15 minutes before the shop is closing to get you out immediately, since they simply don't care - there is a constant flow of tourists, so individual ones don't matter any more for them. At what stage Estonia is with startups?
Which is funny because reduced cost was one of the major selling points of "cloud" way back when.

Most companies aren't actually at the scale where they need cloud. Cloud comes with the benefit of minimal to no need for ops/devops, high uptime (when nothing goes wrong lol), integrated DDoS protections, APIs your junior devs can string together, and the illusion of infinite scaling.

In reality, it turns out you do need someone to effectively do ops, you don't have 99.999% uptime, your don't need most or any of those APIs, and you didn't need that promise of scaling after all.

With DDoS protection, on-prem hosting or independent dedicated hosting might be more economical and practical.
I like the fact it uses Earthly for building. Nice pun.
I'm not sure if it was ever an official thing but I remember accessing their pages and speaking to their reps at conferences regarding Angular.

> Woman works hard at home, gets to not be exposed to 101 harsh realities of life, feels fulfilled, seeing her children grow up.

'harsh realities of life' is - working at an office? Sitting at your computer reading HN? Your view of harsh realities is pretty off-base. Your view of harsh realities is especially off-base if you think that housewives are happily innocent of them.

The most horrific harsh realities happen in homes, the abuses and assaults and neglects. Do you truly imagine that women weren't aware of what was going on in their neighborhoods, with their friends, with the kids?
> labor force participation was 63.4% immediately before the pandemic shut down and it's 62.1% right now.

How is that possible when it seems like every place is hiring? It's obvious that retail/restaurants are short-handed, but every manufacturing company in town is hiring. Every week there are articles in the news talking with business owners about how hard it is to find people, people accept the job and don't start, they quit after two days...
It is a stupid idea in the sense that you can see everyone at the top of society financially, socially, influentially, does not have that apply to them or want it to apply to them. From landlords and business owners wanting to be paid for what other people have actually done, to singers and movie makers and authors wanting to be paid for every copy long after what they did, to personal branding wanting to be paid for putting "Michael Jordan" on clothing, to patent holders wanting to be paid for what they thought of, to license holders wanting to be paid for what they permit others to do, to conduits wanting to be paid for what travels through them, to governments wanting to tax what others do, to lobbied politicians wanting to be paid for not getting in someone's way. If the people 'above' you definitely don't want it for themselves, it's quite likely a stupid idea for you to accept them doing it to you.

On the other side, business owners want to pay employees for "what they have actually done" miss the forest for the trees; leading to stories like the developers committing unfinished code, QA finding lots of bugs (for all the basic functionality that was never written), developers fixing those bugs, and hooray the metrics look great for activity but meaningful progress is through the floor and quality is nowhere to be seen. And keys pressed, minutes spent in meetings, reports written, are on the up - easily padded filler and busywork - and difficult to measure things like customer satisfaction, employee morale, creativity, design, planning, are on the down.
Same! I'll read through that paper when I have time. What are your thoughts on how you would implement something like that today?
2016 entered vintage just a few weeks ago, so 2017 will likely dry up in about 11 months. Don't put that off too long…
I have a spare AppleTV for travelling and have never had a problem connecting it, even before tvOS 15.4. The router suggestions are also overcomplicating it. Just connect your phone to the WiFi, then choose the same network on the AppleTV and stand near it - a sheet pops up on your phone asking if you want to share the password with the AppleTV.
> If your software engineers don’t know at least some of the users on a first name basis they need to step it up.

I have both customer support and developer experience. The customers your engineers will know on a first-name basis are probably the troublemakers: the ones who consume $100,000 in support costs for a $20,000 contract; the ones who always have another "helpful" suggestion for irrelevant new features; the ones who have psychological issues and form parasocial relationships with your team because even their own coworkers can't handle them. I have personally seen all these things several times over.

Not to say that dev staff talking to customers is bad, just that it's very human and you have to watch out for all manner of things you wouldn't expect from reading some abstract blog post.
Sure, there are some effects that come to play.

- Lets say you have a lot of euro. Interest rate is 0 and the US interest rate is 2%. Then you might think of selling euro and buy dollar to get the 2%. Especially if you think that euro/usd will decline further.

- Now let's say your interest rate is even higher now at 10%. A lot of houses in Germany produces something like 3% yearly revenue. So now you might start selling the houses with the same argument, since you could get 10% risk free compared to 3%. Housing prices go down, if you can't raise the rent.. Same effect on business that are doing just small revenue compared to the capital. It doesn't make sense to operate them. They quit -> consume less resources.

- Other effects like people spend less since saving becomes a bit more interesting. Firm's invest less, since the investment has to beat the interest rate.

PS: All that leads to a stronger currency. So your imports become cheaper and that helps a lot to fight inflation.

>In my experience, these attitudes are more common among those who live around poor people than among those who don't

It shouldn't exactly come as a shock that the people who have to live in proximity to the results of such systems have more to say about the downsides than those who can just observe from their ivory tower and can look at some spreadsheet, do a little math and say things like "net positive" with a clear conscience. Even if you have very good results the former group is simply going to be much more aware of the tradeoffs than the latter who will at best only know second hand.
> When I was a kid (not too long ago) I was riding without a booster seat well before age 8 and we'd occasionally ride with a friend's family in a station wagon or SUV with the add-on cargo seats. It wasn't unusual to occasionally ride in a pickup bed on private roads, or pile 8-9 people in the old Caprice for short (< 1mi) trips. Safety was a relative term and left to the discretion and best judgment of the participants.

This is a great example of literal survivorship bias
I don't know if the information supports the idea. It increased from 8.7% rather than 7.9%? So the difference is .8%, and that's supposed to be meaningful enough to declare a trend and give it a brand name?
Well I described an approach how to structure code to avoid checking object states (error handling) most of the time. For example, when you use a FILE like handle to write to a file stream or similar, you don't have to check each time you call fwrite(). It's the opposite, it's sufficient to check at the very end (if you're interested at all).

The way I've been writing code for the last 2 years or so, there is almost no error handling at all. I check buffer ranges whenever I'm writing directly to memory using a pointer + capacity / size pair. I could probably avoid that as well with some C++ magic but even that is rare enough that I don't even bother.

Most of the other error checks are in the application setup / teardown code in the hull of the application - typically one check per codebase per error or object type. Nothing to worry about, I would have to do just as much work with RAII or any other mechanism. The easiest way to handle an error, for a statically set up object, is to attach it to the "process object" i.e. exit() immediately. The next easiest way is to attach the error to some subordinate state object, where the appropriate subsystem can later pick the error up and reset the object or take appropriate action.

I've already had my phase of wasted months and years composing monads and frankly I don't want to get back there but would rather get real work done. In practice, working with monads amounts to a lot of headaches how to wrap, unwrap, and lift things that I could have simply written as straightline code in a non-fancy language, after spending some reasonable thought when and what things should actually best happen.

If you need complicated type hackery to automate writing error handling code, what you are doing is... too complicated.
