I'm sorry you ran into these issues and feel your frustration. The tl;dr is we hit completely unexpected scale overnight when Heroku's free tier news broke, and had to find and fix unpredictable bottlenecks quickly. We're in better shape now, and I feel confident about the rough edges fading away over the next few weeks.

For example, we've worked hard to get logging to a stable state over the last couple of weeks, and I hope you've noticed the improvements already.

Regarding deploys, I'm surprised they're taking this long on paid plans. I'd love to follow up if you could share details over email (address in profile). We have internal SLOs around build times and we've made (and observed) improvements recently, so I'm wondering if this is specific to how your build is being cached.
Agreed. I am looking for a very specific use case. These lists don't really provide much insight into whether or not a service fits.

For reference, my use case/requirements:

- I want to be able to deploy dockerized apps to an AWS region.
- I should be able to define different process types with different env vars/instance scale
- I don't want to have to worry at all about underlying infrastructure
- I want to be able to pipe the logs out to some other unified logging
- I want to be able to deploy from a CI pipeline.

So far nothing else I've seen besides heroku fits the bill.
Err... because it incentivises arresting and jailing vulnerable people in order to provide cheap labor. (done correctly) is doing a lot of work.
They are writing an import function im this pull request.

I think the code an pull requests are easy migrated manually. The 2k open issues would have to be cleaned up first. Then migrate the remaining issues via api. One issue could be the non existing user on the import side.
> You literally just need a guide book or two and enough time to study.

I think it's important to realize just how extremely non-obvious this is, though, for many high school sophomores/juniors.

I went to a decent high school and was in honors classes, and even I would have had zero idea test prep was even a thing, if a single science teacher hadn't randomly mentioned it in class once. I went to the school library and found the "Princeton Review" and practice exams and everything. I absolutely credit it with raising my score by probably a couple hundred points.

But I never would have discovered it except for that single teacher's offhand comment. I just assumed it would be a test that was an accurate reflection of your knowledge/intelligence, so as long as you were going to school, you'd just take the test and get your grade. If someone had pressed me, I probably would have said that test prep would be something kids in rich schools wasted their money on that wouldn't make a difference anyways. I just had no idea.

Yes, I absolutely agree that the SAT is the most attainable way for a poor kid to succeed at. I personally don't support the movements to remove standardized testing, not at all. But I also want to highlight how there's still an utterly gigantic step needed to reliably educate kids both about the importance of the SAT and how to prepare for it.

Very often barriers aren't even primarily a question of money/time/effort -- they're simply a question of awareness that an option even exists or that it matters.
No, not remotely. Your experience is hilariously atypical of public school experiences.
This is kind of tangential, but back in the early-mid 2000s I remember there being a little utility that allowed you to download individual files from inside of a zip file over HTTP. I want to say that it was made by 37signals but I might be completely mis-remembering the whole thing. Does anybody know what I’m talking about?
Leetcode easies are fine, and that's all most companies outside of FANG ask in my experience. I've done interviews myself, and atleast 30% of candidates fail a problem that simply required a for loop to solve (no trees, no algorithms, just simple loop through list and do x).

And if companies dropped the degree requirement and only asked leetcode mediums, I'd consider that fine honestly. Most of what I learned through college was useless to my career, 6 years out of college and I think I'd struggle to name even 25% of the classes I took.
hard to have proof beyond uploading it to your own google drive, but the number of broken links when looking up the video on regular google seems to indicate a real phenomemon
I'm not sure I agree. It's not de-skilling, it's not needing to hire a skilled/specialists to implement/operate. If you're using the cloud, you almost never need to consult or assign work to a network engineer. IME, reliance on DBAs is also way down.
It sounds like you're talking about a different situation. The parent comment was taking about thread-per-connection with blocking IO read call on each. Yes that means spinning up and shutting down threads as connections open and close, and that is 100% a valid strategy. If you have a fixed pool of n threads and you get n+1 connections then you're just going to have to ignore one at any given time (potentially causing deadlock depending on the relationship between the connections) or end up using a multiplexing API at which point you're not far off from async world anyway.

Maybe you're talking about just submitting independent work items to run concurrently – yes async won't help much with that, because you're in the most trivial situation possible.

In more complex situations, with interrelationships between tasks (/threads), async syntax and task groups definitely has a huge impact. And, as I said, that's before you even get into how much easier it makes cancellation.

> Can you state your non-market proposal to provide housing (in economic terms)? Sorry, but the idea of managing allocation of resources without a market is very foreign to me. I just don't know what you're proposing, and I can't imagine how it would work.

Easy. There are so many options. Here is one:

Establish housing trusts, whose purpose of existence is to house people. Non profit (that is not their purpose) . No debt, start them off with a huge wad of cash. Allow them to build, convert, do what ever.

Such a trust can set up its own systems for allocation, but not entirely at whim. There can be political control too.

Allow an occupation right where tenants cannot be evicted for no reason (that can be applied to all housing, and in civilised places it is - not where I live amongst barbarians)

Not perfect, nothing is.

There is no need to outlaw private property or private land lords, there will still be niches for them. But the great mass of rental housing could be supplied by such trusts.

> but the idea of managing allocation of resources without a market is very foreign to me

Please open yur mind, look into some economic history, look around the world. Markets are not the only solution to allocation and markets can reach terrible equilibriums.

The Irish Potato Famine happened in a free market. Markets can even be genocidal.
> Spanish Conquistadors

It wasnt the ~200 conquistadors who massacred Aztec after the fall of Tenochtitlan. It was their ~200,000 strong Native American allies who fought with them. For ~200 years, their people, families, relatives, ancestors were dragged away by Aztecs to be used in sacrifices and to be eaten during droughts as livestock. That kind of builds up a lot of sentiments in people.
Most people don't have water efficient gardens, and may refuse the concept.

Also, after reading the article:

> But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools aren’t the water wasters some have made them out to be.

So I insist: it isn't a large waste. It's a politically motivated move, and therefore a dogwhistle.

I believe it would be better to invite pool owners to reduce evaporation by adopting a system to cover the pool, than to shame them: otherwise, we should shame people having a lawn (and people taking a shower, and people wasting electricity on videogames...)
They really couldn't come up with a better name for that than "remote sensing"?
Russia using a nuke in Ukraine doesn’t even make any sense. What would it accomplish? The Ukrainian forces are too scattered for this to be effective. Would it scare the West into backing down? It would certainly scare a lot of people, but Putin knows that the West will not be scared into submission. If it’s done as a scare tactic, then it’s terrorism, and negotiating with terrorists is off the table.

The only way I can see Russia going nuclear is if the West becomes directly involved in the conflict, Putin sees it as the existential end of Russia, and decides to take the murder-suicide route. Let’s hope it never gets to that point.
That was my experience. I went from an ergodox to a dactyl manuform and at first I found it great. But that went to good to decent. I did not jive with something about the curvature + layout, even though I could touch type at a good speed.

I ended up switching to a moonlander and find it is more enjoyable. I also found it an improvement over the ergodox, because the clusters are more thought out and the tenting has less degrees of freedom so is easier to get just right.
Of relevance to this point might be Union Democracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Democracy

It examines a particularly democratic union which seemed unusually able to withstand degeneration into an oligarchy.
Maybe it’s not compatibility issue, and DNSSEC doesn’t provide meaningful security improvements, so deploying it increases the risk of breakage without any tangible benefit to the threat model.
I thought I did write that?
It is honestly fascinating to look at the US (and many other countries) college system as a Belgian. Except in few cases (becoming a medical doctor is the only one I can think of but there might be others) you can just study what you want, where you want.

Obviously the US can not do that as some colleges would be overrun by students but it is so foreign to me.
That's just Autopilot
Coca leaves are not that strong, are they? I mean, can you get really high just by chewing them?

if the case succeeds, then presumably recommendation engines would need to be immediately deactivated, as they would constitute an existential legal risk to any social network that had them.

social networks would certainly be less addictive - shallower internet rabbit holes, more permeable internet bubbles. So maybe a good thing? Let me know why this would be bad

> The story of the children came to light following the February 3 disappearance of a 14-year-old Guatemalan migrant child in Alabama, the news service stated.

> According to Reuters, the child and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked for the plant. After the publicity generated by the February disappearance case, SMART reportedly dismissed several underage workers, according to former employees.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-hyundai-subsidiar...

> The girl, who turns 14 this month, and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked at the plant earlier this year and weren't going to school, according to people familiar with their employment. Their father, Pedro Tzi, confirmed these people's account in an interview with Reuters.

> Police in the Tzi family's adopted hometown of Enterprise also told Reuters that the girl and her siblings had worked at SMART. The police, who helped locate the missing girl, at the time of their search identified her by name in a public alert.

----

Trafficked isn't the right word to use for the work (her disappearance may have been a case of attempted child trafficking - I haven't found anything yet on the specifics of the disappearance and it is likely more difficult because she is a minor). There are, however, issues with undocumented and poorly documented workers and their children not getting the proper public and social services (school for children being part of the public services).
It would be interesting to know what the median price this cohort is paying for their Tesla. The cheapest model 3 is 48k meaning you should be making at least 96k gross.
Very easy to find those ppl, you just have to pull them out from Cloud Providers Data Centers.

But you have to pay them enough or that is going to be like pulling teeth out.

And this is where the problems start.
Ditto.

I thought the constant racing mind (and thoughts constantly dividing like fractal patterns) was _normal_ until diagnosis in late 30s after talking to a friend about it. It boggles my mind how I survived on a daily basis prior to medication.

Medication was a life changing moment and genuinely look forward to what I might accomplish in the future instead of looking back frustrated with the past. It feels like I was operating on just half a brain for decades!
Fascinating. I wonder what the purpose of the drugs were. Coca is a stimulant so was it a religious experience? But the alcohol is a depressant. Overall I'm wondering if the objective was analgesia or for a religious experience.
> Society has no choice but to impose a very unproductive form of punishment

No choice? That’s pretty laughably untrue and flies in the face of all the evidence about incarceration being totally rubbish as a punishment.
In fact asked her to help me find one.
I am not keying on that piece of flak shot in the air to cover the genocide normalization. Instead I ignored it, because it's rhetorical redirection. The claim at hand is the one I quoted: however bad they were, they were infinitely less brutal than native civilizations. Using the Spanish Inquisition as a rhetorical high-score of the violence that Spanish forces exported, instead of the actual colonial operations in question is dishonest and shitty.

Under no meaningful comparison can you claim that native civilizations were less brutal than the Spanish (and to a lesser extent, Portuguese and later French and British) extraction operations. "Look! The Inquisition! Three thousand people, that's it!" Columbus's second voyage kidnapped 500 Taino from Hispaniola alone and 300 of them died on the way back to Europe, and that was just the start of things. By 1542, las Casas--a Spaniard--estimated that the Spanish had killed between twelve and fifteen million natives, and while that number is probably not well-sourced by las Casas, modern research suggests that that number, if it is inaccurate, is likely to be so on the low end when you tally up the whole thing.

"Look! Three thousand! The Aztecs! But the Aztecs!" The Mexica? Yeah, they sucked a whole lot. It's not a huge surprise that the Tlaxcaltecs and others thought the Spanish were a good bet, because the Mexica were downright vile. So yanno, let's scratch the whole thing off, call that one fair-is-fair (it's not but okay). Now how about the other millions to tens of millions killed by the Spanish alone and forced into slavery?

Because these genocide-softpedaling assertions are hiding the ball.

Here's las Casas himself. Read it, if you have the stomach.

“They [the Spanish] forced their way into native settlements, slaughtering everyone they found there, including small children, old men, pregnant women, and even women who had just given birth. They hacked them to pieces, slicing open their bellies with their swords as though they were so many sheep herded into a pen. They even laid wagers on whether they could slice a man in two at a stroke, or cut an individual’s head from his body, or disembowel him with a single blow of their axes. They grabbed suckling infants by the feet and, ripping them from their mothers’ breasts, dashed them headlong against the rocks. Others, laughing and joking all the while, threw them over their shoulders, shouting, ‘Wriggle, you little perisher.’

What was that about the implied nobility of destroying a culture that has a problem with child sacrifice? Shit, this wasn't even for any reason in particular, it's nihilistic murder for the heck of it. And the Taino, to the best of my knowledge, didn't practice any form of human sacrifice at all. What's your high-minded lesswrong-dot-com excuse here?
Ironically, there is a whole other side to LinkedIn too, which is pretty much the opposite of what you described - an unabashed raw shitposting or stream of consciousness material or pretty much satire (except it isn't satire) or straight up harassment. And in recent times, I've seen a massive increase in that side of LinkedIn.

We are talking stuff that would be wild to see even on Facebook, which only gives it more edge as it is posted on LinkedIn. Some female executive makes a normal work-related LinkedIn post, and you see comments like "hey bby, u beautiful, wanna link? :)" (yes, with excessive emojis, posted in public comments by people using their real names and photos and resumes and colleagues). Or some "thought leader" writing a post about their "productive schedule" that is actually based on a 48-hour cycle and includes activities like doing yoga for multiple consecutive hours during business meetings, as well as multi-hour timeslots labeled as "hustling" (all while reading like a really good The Onion article).

In a weird "clown timeline" sort of a way, LinkedIn genuinely got more raw and edgy over time.
You'd have to chew quite a lot of them, but it's certainly possible.
Interestingly, I took a ~5 year hiatus from writing code right smack in the beginning of the "cloud phenomenon," and upon returning, realized how much things had changed, with both skill levels and specialization. Before my hiatus, a dev could/would single-handedly run a site for a small/medium business. Handling everything from server procurement to FTPing the files to the server and even server maintenance. When I got back, this was "a big no-no" and mostly frowned upon. Everything was deployed by "git push" (fancy FTP?), problem with a server? just deploy a new one, and if an AWS region goes down ... it's ok, everyone else is down too and we have no idea when it will be back.

That last sentence was something you never said to a boss back in '07-08. You would always know what was wrong and how bad it was within a few minutes of the issue, at least 90%+ of the time anyway. You could probably even guess how long it would be down for within ~10-15 minutes of discovering the issue.

FWIW, I think small/medium size businesses were/are probably the most affected by cloudification since those had the "most to gain" in the beginning. Then again, those were the types of businesses that I had the most interaction with until 2014-ish, I don't know what it looked like from a big-business perspective.
I honestly find MR in web interface has sucked in every platform I've tried.

Use the `lab` commandline tool, it's good and makes managing MRs really easy.
200,000 native allies

900–1,300 Spanish infantry

Looks like they had some help.
For me, I was mainly using the free Heroku Postgres for side projects. I tried some of those listed here but they were not a fit for me. I ended up going with cockroach db and am liking it so far, esp that I can easily create an unlimited number of clusters that are free to start.

I'm definitely encouraging publication in a journal (maybe dealing
with industry resilience). Also I want some students to come here and

themselves.
Maybe some day we'll stop genitally mutilating baby boys but at least we started (mostly) using analgesics/local anesthetics.

When I worked with some NASA engineers from Alabama, I had trouble taking them seriously due to their accent! They were the ones getting stuff done, though. Statistically, Alabama ranks significantly better than California for both child and adult literacy. Are you perhaps a bit biased in your opinion of people from the south?
io_uring just racked up another CVE, so I kinda feel that its severely under-designed nature will always haunt it. The idea that you can just hand off infinite amounts of work for the kernel to do on your behalf is pretty fundamentally broken. It is a concrete implementation of wishful thinking.
Enough are ready to fire to turn a large percentage of the world into a glass parking lot. At least that’s the case with the US, French and UK arsenal. I have serious doubts about the status of the Russian arsenal, but I’m sure they could do an unimaginable amount of damage even if they landed only 1% of them.

How much does the use case for this intersect with Pachyderm?
So what do we pay for except computing power?

Ease of scale? Ease of development cost? Or other marketing material?
Lift and shift proved itself to not work well. Its not cost efficient for vast majority of businesses with legacy software.

To use cloud efficiently you have to build for it. Startups are much more efficient in that regard in comparison to monolithic applications running on premise.
> She also noted that when you search on these terms the main engines (all run by cloud service providers) return poor results not congruent with the scale of the phenomenon. They are dominated by the opposite message obviously heavily SEO'd up to the top, plus shill pieces pushing cloud services but presented as "critical". Dig deep if you want to find the real scale of the "anti-cloud" issues.

Are you really suggesting that search engine providers are manipulating their own search results to bury some sort of hidden "truth" about a people leaving the cloud? Suggesting that people need to "dig deep" to find the real scale of the issue sounds a lot like the "do your own research" line that gets attached to dubious conspiracy theories.

The simple explanation is that your student simply anchored her personal beliefs to an idea that this was a large movement, but her light research didn't match her pre-conceived beliefs. This is how conspiracy theories are born.

Regardless, this claim doesn't hold up to even basic scrutiny. I just Googled for "cloud repatriation" and all of the results are think pieces about why moving out of the cloud is a good thing.

> A good example was the broadcast industry. Entire branches of that industry doing post-production, colour, transcoding, and whatnot moved it all out to AWS. After price hikes, they wanted to go back to running their own services. But they can't. Because nobody knows about how to set-up and run that any longer - especially specialist things like buffers and transcoders. I mean, try finding a sys-admin who can just do simple tasks like set up and properly configure a mail server these days.

If you can't find sysadmins with basic competencies or engineers who can build systems as simple as buffering and transcoding, I can almost guarantee that the real issue is that you're not paying enough for the position.

Either that, or the applicants can recognize from a mile away that your company is not the kind of place that skilled engineers actually want to work for.

Don't mistake your lack of candidates for a lack of skill in the market.
