Coming from India, we do not talk like that in our native language. I am guessing it is because we have been repeatedly told that is how americans talk (reinforced by movies and TV shows). Now, I start with just a greeting and jump to the issue.. "Hey P!! Good morning.. I just want to check about issue XXX". It sounds less rude, but does not ask the banal questions.

Our app is mostly hit during business hours. So we wrote a pinger to "wake up" the back end lambdas when a user visits the website (not log in, just hit the site anywhere) *and* it's been more than 5 minutes since the last ping. It's not perfect but it helps a lot with the cold start times.
Congrats Medplum team!
You literally did:

> it's frankly an indictment of the US that people try to sweettalk this sort of behaviour with words like 'curvier' and 'plumper'

Your words, not mine.
Here is a grossly simplified illustration:

I'm approaching an intersection on my bicycle and the light ahead is red. The motor vehicle traffic is stopped at that red light. I pass by that stopped traffic and get closer to the intersection. My head is largely above the cars stopped at the crosswalk and I have good visibility. I scan the entire intersection (from an elevated view standing up on my pedals, without any pylons or mirrors obstructing my view as in a car) and note that there are no pedestrians in or entering the crosswalk, and no motor vehicles approaching cross-wise (the intersecting street that has a green light). I can clearly see that the way is clear and it is safe to proceed.

The law would say I should stop and wait for the light to turn green. However, when the light turns green, all the motor vehicle traffic anxiously accelerates and jockeys for position in the intersection. If I'm in a bike lane, some of the traffic may be attempting to turn across my lane (and right into me) to beat the pedestrians into the crosswalk. If I've taken the lane and I'm between a car ahead of me and one behind me, the car behind me may get upset that I'm not moving quickly enough and honk, swerve around me, tailgate me, etc. This is unsafe and frightening, and I seem to be slowing other people down.

Instead, if I arrive at that red light and I can clearly visualize that it is safe for me to proceed, I will then proceed through the light and get out of everyone's way while having an impact on basically no one. Still, the folks in cars will be very upset with me, and sometimes still honk, or write angrily on message boards about bike scofflaws, because I'm breaking the law (I suspect it's more that they're upset they're stuck in their car and experiencing classic road rage), even though if I had remained with them at the light, I'd likely just be getting in their way.

---

To move on from the grossly simplified example, there is a matter of degree to how clear the intersection is. Maybe there is a pedestrian just entering the crosswalk, but I'm in the center of my lane a good 15 feet away from them. That still seems safe to me. Or there is a car approaching the intersection that has the green, but they're still a good 50 feet away and I have plenty of time to make it through the intersection.

On the one hand, some more reckless/careless riders will make closer calls than I would think are acceptable or safe. And on the other hand, many pedestrians who don't have honed spatial awareness will insist they were "almost hit" by a cyclist when it really wasn't close and the person could have suddenly sprinted and not been in danger.

As I learned how to ride in the city, I had to start safer and gradually find my way to what I considered acceptable. I couldn't rely on the law to tell me, because if I followed the law, I'd be risking my life unnecessarily.

I'm not trying to say it's clear or obvious what the rules should be, but just that in the current situation, applying the existing laws evenly to cars and bikes doesn't make sense.
Indeed, all Bitcoin blocks today are full. There is no physical possibility to withdraw all those funds. That's why Binance must implement Lightning deposits/withdrawals, like Kraken did.
Odd, I've never had an issue with SAM and lets me run an API gateway, Lambda with Dynamo locally so by itself covers a lot of the usecases and LocalStack to fill in any testing gaps.

Show HN: Resmo – Run SQL, Free Text Search on Cloud and SaaS Configurations
Hello, It's been a long time since I made a Show HN, I want to present our startup Resmo, and would love any feedback.

- Site: https://www.resmo.com

- Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCqT-xUW27I

We've left Atlassian to build Resmo one year ago. In short, we collect configuration data from APIs of cloud providers and 40+ SaaS tools. Main reason is, even properly knowing what you have in all those tools becomes bothersome quickly, we faced it hard with hyper-growth. We make it easy to collect this data, explore it various ways and create rules. Fully-managed.

Main features I'd like to higlight are:

* Run SQL: You can ask any question limited to your SQL writing creativity. You can query if a SaaS user exists in your IdP at all.

* Free text search: Search UUIDs, names, telephone numbers. You won't believe what pops up.

* Relations: We automatically map relations between resources, even differnet tools. So your domain in Cloudflare might be poiniting an EC2 Instance.

* User discovery: Find out and group users in different tools. Did you really offboard people correctly? Or someone signed up with personal mail? And is MFA enabled on them, if it can?

* Managed Rules & Queries: We have more than 650 rules and 1000 queries. Opening a marketplace for it soon. Coming from Opsgenie, we focus hard on to reduce alert-fatigue on issues by customizable notifications.

* Compliance Packs: Well known benchmarks to monitor your score over time.
* Integrations: Now 40, adding 3-4 per week. We want to integrate with all the tools a company might be using so we cover all your cyber-space.

Why we built Resmo? Because most security tools frighten people with fear driven sales (because, it works) and we want to reach in a friendlier, open-pricing, easy UX, and self-onboarding way, modern and smaller companies are used to. If you want to do more for security, using Resmo, upon connecting an integration, we offer visibility under 5 minutes, it'll be likely a high return of investment, probably for free, or an affordable plan.

There are great open-source tools to do what we are doing. But we focus on ease of use, UX and getting most value in minutes.

Would love to think what you are thinking about it.
Investors are louder than patients
An exhibit is the outcome of multiple rounds of curation -- which items are preserved through history, which are acquired by museums, which are retained, which are displayed, and the prominence with which they are displayed. This curation is always going to involve some kind of agenda, benign or otherwise. In a sense you are correct that the exhibit you viewed is fake in the sense of being a fabricated version of reality. But that doesn't mean it was fake in the sense of being fraudulent.
Agreed. He offered Elon a billion dollars for Twitter stock just a few months ago.
What are they trying to improve? Stability? Time from change request to change appearing in production? Developer velocity over time? Sometimes you'll hear things like "this will cost an extra $1000/month but make hiring and retention easier"

Operationally: You need a few more/different specifics to avoid talking in generalities. How many requests per second? What's the floor? What's the peak? How bad a sudden surge ("thundering herd") do you ever see? What's the heaviest request / worst case response time?

Then you can start comparing the two solutions under various scenarios. How much will our average RPS cost us? Will the service deal well under very low or very high load? What happens when your worst-case thundering herd hits? Does your heaviest request fit comfortably within limits?
Really instead it's

No idea why you suddenly converted the values a, b, c, d to full-blown forms. But of course, baby duck syndrome will prevail and Minsky's comments are painfully true to this day: "Anyone can learn it [Lisp syntax] in a day, unless they know Fortran, in which case it's three days."

P.S. Making general comments about "math notation" is pretty dishonest argument. The math I studied was all commutative diagrams and blobs to represent manifolds; very little "infix operators" as far as I could tell. Mathematicians in general are flexible with notation (and definitions!) and will normally default to whatever is the loose consensus in their field :)
Inaudible? Mentioned higher up, or lower, I can't always tell on HN.
> Lisp has a readability issue, where the syntax makes the authors intent not immediately clear with all the brackets.

No it doesn’t, that’s like saying that any non-English language has readability issue.
I mean it’s not all that hard for it to become airborne. If that happens it’s doesn’t kill fast enough to not spread like crazy.
It seems that Citadel may have short squeezed FTX's token and created this.
Good point, although it would conversely increase the cost.
OP misconstrues an iOS tracking dialog to support their complaint:

> The strange thing is that Apple introduced strict measures in iOS 14.5 to prevent developers from fingerprinting users.

The dialog text in their screenshot reads:

> Allow “App” to track your activity across other companies’ apps and sites?

Users refusing this permission are not prohibiting tracking by the company that issued the dialog. They are prohibiting the company from tracking users beyond the boundary of their corporation. Apple’s App Store app is within the boundary of Apple Corporation, and so the tracking dialog shown is not relevant to their complaint.

(I have no viewpoint to offer on OP’s argument beyond the logical reasoning error described above.)
Your second example isn't right, you've added an extra layer of parens. It's either (print a b c d) or your pre-translation should be print(a(), b(), c(), d()).
Any "architect" joining the company and pushing for drastic changes like that is either an idiot chasing the hype, or a malicious actor trying to boost their importance.

Good news: your gut feeling is correct.

Bad news: you will likely lose this battle, unless you're good at playing company politics.

Here's how it typically goes:

1. A new lead/architect/manager joins the company.

2. They push for a new hyped technology/methodology.

-> you are currently here <-

3. The team is split: folks that love new things embrace it, folks that care hate it, rest are indifferent.

4. Because the team is split, the best politician wins (usually the new hire).

5. Switch happens and internally you know it's fucking disaster, but you're still forced celebrate it.

6. When disaster is becoming obvious people start getting thrown under the bus (usually junior engineers or folks that opposed the switch).
Eh. I felt that way until I configured my MTA correctly on FreeBSD and I was suddenly receiving emails with package out-of-date notifications, summaries of failed cron jobs, etc that are more suited as “push” than “pull” unless it’s your job to monitor the logs on an hourly/daily basis.
Lots of good reasons here, another smaller factor that may come into play is that clipless and toe cage pedals lead to a non-zero number of injuries, especially when the cyclist is trying to stop in a stressful situation (eg President Biden a few months ago)
If the person above did their math correctly, a black hole and a star orbiting each other a 1.39 AU would be a problem for planets. Injecting a black hole like that into our solar system would be real trouble for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, probably Jupiter, and Saturn too. The rest might be ok after a long while for their orbits to stabilize.
But they're meant to store the customer assets in a cold wallet. They're not meant to invest them in illiquid assets that would need to be liquidated to give people their money. If it's not a contradiction, it's an intentionally misleading statement to avoid admitting they let Alameda Research invest the money when the entities are supposed to be completely separated.
They're totally solvent but no one is willing to lend them money?

Serverless is a way to deploy code. It has its tradeoffs in cost and scaling and speed, just like anything else. Most of the advantages are in more rapid iteration and deployment, since you're forced to deploy small chunks of code at a time.

But if you have an API that is getting sustained traffic, Lambdas probably aren't your best bet -- you're going to want a container that is always running.

But to be honest, with 120 routes and 100 users, it sounds like Lambdas are a good way to go.
A shorter change->effect delay eases learning (near instant gratification), but then again, Turbo Pascal on CP/M did already a good job at that.

Mastodon was not made for the moment when Twitter collapsed. It was made as an alternative to (a fully working) Twitter for people who hated the toxic environment. So all of their marketing materials and onboarding process are geared toward helping the kinds of people who transition off Twitter to understand the benefits.

Now that Mastodon is being portrayed by the media as the escape hatch from Twitter for a broader audience, they'll probably start focusing more on making the onboarding process clearer and their marketing less techy-focused.
See also vaccine manufacturers for an example about how it isn't about the patients. They are legally immune from prosecution under the PREP Act for anything that unintentionally goes wrong. You also can't sue the FDA for approving any drug under Emergency Use Authorization.

As for the vaccine court created to handle payouts from harm, it has only paid out 29 times in the last decade. I might believe the vaccines are safe - but 29 payouts (<6% of all filed claims) in a decade seems way too low by any statistic. The proof of harm seems insurmountable.

Which seems like a huge L for FTX... until you start thinking about what the alternative must have been if this is what they chose.
This is just an ad for an RSS reader.
> What the client needs me to do, I suspect without being able to confirm because my questions are “wasting their time”, is give the warehouse a place to pencil stuff in next to line items.

have you thought that maybe this is not the reason at all why they want this ? maybe they have a scanner somewhere that works better with the landscape format ? some regulation to comply with ?

I find it absolutely insufferable when you ask people to do something that you want, and they ask you why ; like, this is not at all why you're being paid unless you're in a R&D position ; if I was in your client's shoes I'd start looking for another contractor that would give me what I ask no question asked. They're paying you for your time, no? If they ask you to dig in a hole and then fill it back after you do it.

Note this isn't really fully open source as the CUDA kernels for PhysX aren't distributed and the HLSL code for Flow isn't included either (only Vulkan and DX12 bytecode is included, no sources). Happy to be wrong if someone finds the code for these :)
Thanks for reply/insight. I much prefer the Cambridge approach. Still I might offer this Wulf like reply.

I liked the mention of "banality of corporate life."
This is something that me hit lately. Manufacturing is more exciting on the whole than software services I'm in now. But I think it's also age related. Post-45 there's a folding/ integration / joining / quickening in which the world becomes smaller. And in that world sameness is more apparent. In other words I don't think I'd write banal at 20, but I would now
Where volume is proportional to net worth, as per usual.

The bad developing/debugging dev-loop is getting fixed. My team is working on a platform that fixes it, as are others in the space.

would be

I haven't. I have a class 3 bike, I do ride it with the power turned off or way down if there's any ambiguity or dense pedestrian traffic.

It's great to have for residential streets though, because I can generally sustain the 25 mph that cars do AND can treat stops as yields.
The 2010s didn't show there was no counter-argument to begin with re: the hiatus/pause. What actually happened is that climatologists rewrote the temperature data of that period to simply remove the pause from history. In other words, having spent >10 years publishing scientific papers and studies on the causes of the pause in warming, they one day just announced that it'd never happened at all, that all that research had been on bad data and they'd "found" warming.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.17700

Of course trust falls when that happens. It's correct for trust to fall. They'd been making hyper-confident assertions about the future of climate and temperature for many people's entire lives and then one day, whoops, actually, it's "we've not been measuring temperature right for the entire history of our field and it fundamentally changes the entire shape of the data".
> But of course, baby duck syndrome will prevail and Minsky's comments are painfully true to this day: "Anyone can learn it [Lisp syntax] in a day, unless they know Fortran, in which case it's three days."

That’s hilarious, where did he say that?
Here’s one way of thinking about this (not the whole picture of course):

At annual profitability of $Y per employee, you have a bar for what you need to earn from hiring your marginal next employee. The “core” business top 1% might be earning $10Y per employee, but if you can earn $1.5Y per employee for 10k new hires to spin up new product areas, you would be negligent (and fired by the board) to not do so.

This is one of the main reasons big companies tend to bloat.

I think the narrative of “most companies are overstaffed” is a bit of an over-simplification. If the goal is to maximize shareholder return in the medium-to-long-term, this is not so. If the goal is to execute the core mission, sure, but that’s a much less valuable company in most cases. And from a portfolio theory perspective, probably a less durable one too, since you don’t have a backup plan.

Now, Twitter never had $10Y per employee, so you could justifiably claim they are overextended. But I don’t think the same logic works for the MAGMA.
" it's super deadly which means it kills before it really has a chance to spread widely."

I generally agree. I believe there is some lag time before dropping dead. Fast air travel seems like a good way for this to spread over a wide range. If I remember correctly, CDC was involved in some Ebola cases about 10 years or so ago due to travellers. The manpower required for the precautions to prevent US spread for just 2-4 infected people was massive. I would guess we would be overwhelmed and it would start spreading here if the numbers were in the dozens.

I'm not saying that would be likely this time, but the likelihood would go up if there was a less deadly mutation. Operating on previously true beliefs is likely to cause the most damage.
And if you're a woman, cut the word "just" from your vocabulary, especially in professional communication. It diminishes your voice.

"I just want to make sure ..." vs "I want to make sure ..."

"Just letting you know ..." vs "I want to let you know ...", "I want you to know ..."

"This is just one example ..." vs "This is one example ..."

"I'm just going to unblock ..." vs "I'm unblocking ..."

I struggle with this myself, it's a self-effacing learned behavior.
I don't know if that's enough to explain the hysteria... for example, people have published studies on the effectiveness of handwashing without fearing being attacked on Twitter as agents of misinformation (results are mixed, though generally beneficial, alcohol rubbing seems somewhat less helpful than soap and water, and a good scrubbing is better):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9250256/

> "To develop clear and simple guidance for the public, further work should focus on identifying the specific times when HH should be performed in different communities and situations. In the meantime, current guidelines should be followed and should be based on evidence summarised here. Resources to support frequent hand washing, if hand washing facilities are available, or alternatively ABHR, should be provided in schools, workplaces, and public spaces and HH should continue to be promoted"

There are some more recent studies (2022) that take a similar evidence-based approach to masking effectiveness, noting for example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9017682/

> "The author pointed out that with active COVID-19 patients, who may contaminate the environment, a mask will not protect healthcare workers or other people if they are not accompanied by hand hygiene, eye protection, gloves and a gown."

The autopsy of the governmental and medical responses to the pandemic (and the original source of the outbreak) will make for interesting reading for years to come.
I tried the demo of Haven that this site is advocating for and found it was a perfect storm of a bad demo. (I'd be very happy to talk w/ the Havenites about the details) I like what they are trying to accomplish but from a marketing perspective it's going nowhere. Someone who is unhappy with the current state of feeds may or may not be interested in publishing a blog for instance, and they ought to offer people an easy way to set up a feed and see how it works, or get some idea of what it looks like w/o having to create an instance and log in (even a video would be good)

Also for as long as RSS feeds have been around the UIs have been something only a mother could love, particularly they don't address the problem of overloading, particularly the spamming with "me-too" articles (I have seen so many articles about "the nearest black hole to the Earth" being discovered for such a long time that I'm starting to wonder if they discovered another one, not to mention the breathless clickbait articles from The Atlantic about the Twitter collapse that are 72 hours out of date)

Text analysis technology was good enough in 2005 to filter articles from a feed that you'd like, I know because I used old technology to do it

https://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/

I'm pretty sure that some kind of dimensional reduction on the data (say Latent Dirichlet Allocation) would cut the error rate in half and slightly less sure that spending $1500 on a GPU and using currently fashionable language models would cost you $1500 and a few months of time and not make much of a difference if you ever get it to work.

I also know the "twisty little articles that all look alike" problem (a.k.a. "me-too") was solved by Google when they developed Google News because whenever The New York Times publishes an article 300 other papers write an article that says "The New York Times reported that..." and Google News would be completely unusable, the same way that RSS feed readers are completely unusable.

I'd guess some kind of clustering is the answer to that but I'm not so sure what kind of clustering. (I think the language model might help with that)
