They were all from Oxbridge and the weirdness specifically satirized British culture of the 60s and 70s. It just so happened to be universal enough for an American audience to appreciate “a bunch of dudes in dresses being weird for weird’s sake”

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. Even though it might not the case with all tech companies, there's the possibility there might be significant bloat with some of them.
> An exchange shouldn't count deposited crypto as their asset. It is an asset of their customers.

Yes they should. A deposit liability arises from the fact that they received an asset in a deposit transaction. Liabilities and assets aren't mutually exclusive in any transaction, and both must increase when you receive a customer's deposit, or else where does the liability come from?

> Banks need to be heavily regulated because they are investing the assets of their customers. An exchange should not be doing that, it should be holding customer assets and making them available on request.

If the exchange doesn't spend assets they received from their customers, they still have assets. If they sit on them until they receive instruction from a customer to dispose of it, it's still an asset on their books until they carry out the instruction.
Complexity of rsyncing your app onto 2 nodes instead of one isn't a problem tho.

The DB is the hard part (not with automation but that's more to learn), and storing the files to be seen by all nodes (if app needs to create files during its normal work) is, but in most cases delegating that part to cloudy cloud isn't a problem.

> In reality, complexity of deploys and introducing new changes are way more likely to shut down your service than anything else, unless you're dealing with very large scale. And for those problems, it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 10 instances, shit would go down anyways as you push out your change to all of them.

Right, but updating OS is one of those changes, can't do that hitless if there is only one node in the system. And you do update your OS (or whatever FROM you got your container), right ?

Sure, most downtimes will be more "developer fucked up" than "something happened with hardware". But those fuckups are usually on smaller scale than "well, server needs to be rebuilt from scratch/backup/CM manifest" and "just" need revert.

> And for those problems, it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 10 instances, shit would go down anyways as you push out your change to all of them.

If you have tens of instances you can be responsible developer and do some kind of staged deploy to cut those fuckups by order of magnitude or two.

Ask HN: Split, tenting, short travel keyboards?
Hi HN: I'm starting to have major issues with RSI. Work's ergonomic guy suggested this "kinesis freestyle 2" keyboard, so i ordered it. I love the tenting so far, but i absolutely HATE the keyboard.

the key travel is too damn long and causes me to drag my fingers across the other keys and will cause a different RSI (confirmed from previous experiments with other keyboards).

I'd gone back to an apple magic keyboard simply due to the short travel of the keys. unfortunately, its cramped, and my shoulders are wide, which brings them forward which causes issues in my shoulders.

I'm hoping to find a keyboard thats split, small layout (i do not care for all these fancy macro keys, it just takes up room and i dont use them) with short travel keys + low profile caps.

Ideally it also wouldnt cost a car payment like this thing: https://dygma.com/products/dygma-raise?variant=43565239828718

Anyone have any ideas? Please help.
Gmail lets you download your emails to a POP setup on your local disk. That's more than reasonable IMO.
Their website still has a yellow notice at the top:

Sorry, I meant that can work for a somewhat decent amount of time on a reasonably sized generator, since the most power intensive part (heating) will not come from electricity.

> App telemetry, metrics, etc might get handwaved away with a sinister phrase, like “essential for improving user experience.”

I don't get why these are automatically considered sinister. Measuring how people actually behave is an excellent way to improve your product. If this is done with sufficient care and anonymity, with no financial incentive to betray the user, I don't see the issue at all.
If you want to go the enterprise route, you can mount the VM on an on-prem block store with a secondary ~ 10-20ms away, and set it to async or sync replication mode. If the primary DC burns down (hey, it happens!), you just fail over and lose ten or zero seconds of transactions, respectively. Downtime is roughly time to detect the outage + time it takes to reboot the primary.

You can also do this in the cloud, of course, but I've found that grounding the implementation in a physical example clarifies exactly what I'm talking about.

Some people claim this isn't a "high availability" solution, since you need to take the service down while you reboot for OS patches, etc, and during those windows, all requests fail. However, that's often fine. In particular, these sorts of setups can easily hit five nines, which is as good as an AWS region. However, in normal operation, they don't spuriously generate error codes like S3, etc do.

If you count your SLA as "service went 1 minute without generating a spurious error for any client", then this will have many more 9's than a microservice architecture. If you count your SLA as "at least one request returned 200 in a 1 minute window", then the two approaches will probably be comparable, at least until you start running the microservices in multiple AWS regions (or whatever) and eliminate outages due to human operator error.
> Does it suck to maintain almost 200GB of audio files? Yes.

In what way does is suck? I have about 1TB of audio files on local disks, which I manage with beets + mpd. No troubles at all.
> Does usage of the devices lead to increased sales on Amazon.com? Are those sales that wouldn't have taken place on the app/website otherwise?

That seems reasonable. Customers can order directly through the device ("Alexa, order some toilet paper"), that's low friction and lets Amazon rank options to their benefit. Plus regularly using Alexa keeps Amazon primed (no pun intended) in the customer's mind so next time they go online shopping they default to Amazon. Once you're using Alexa, there's an Apple effect encouraging adoption of other Amazon products through ease of use (Amazon Music, FireTV, Audible, etc). Amazon is also monetizing their products with ads, I'm sure that's part of the Alexa strategy as well.

Remains to be seen whether there is a "pull back" from smart devices that impacts the play. I was an early adopter of Alexa... at this point no one in my technical circle has proprietary "smart" home automation devices anymore, and the non-tech folks at best use Alexa to search in the Amazon app (mainly because they struggle with phone keyboards)

The only problem with doing this could be mail deliverability. But if you setup SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and use a mail service, it works fine if you're not spamming. Mailgun, Amazon SES, Mxroute, they'll all deliver your mail and for cheap. There's no single point of failure needed to get your mail delivered.

> Yes it is deflationary, which is worse for a currency.

Cui bono?

Who told you that deflationary currencies are inherently bad? Perhaps you're repeating this lesson from central bankers and politicians who would have no ability to manipulate for power if they didn't have the printing press.

> Why buy anything with a currency whose value will always rise? Better to just hold it. Thus it fails as a currency

IMO, this has always been a dumb criticism of a deflationary setting.

People still save their money in an inflationary setting and will also spend during deflation because people still need to eat and live their lives. Certainly people would tend to be more cautious about their spending during deflation: not inherently a bad thing.
Did they also massively expand their staff during the pandemic like Twitter/FB did?

Edit: looks like they grew headcount by 60% (+500,000 people) in 2020 and 23% (+310,000) in 2021.

Today's announcement reduces headcount by 1% which is tiny compared to their growth.

My email addresses do get more spam than, say my Twitter DMs. But my email provider (not Gmail) is good at identifying most and my own Mail client can pick up the rest.

So the net number of spam emails in my email inbox is less than 1 per week. On Twitter, for me it's at least 1 per day and there's nothing I can do to tweak the filtering.

I think they are delivering close to 3k/month now.
I think you're missing a key difference here, though: Apple is not selling that data to their advertisers. The key difference between Apple's privacy argument and others is that your data in the latter case is being sold to those advertisers along with the targeting. Apple, on the other hand, is using your data to personalize what you see but none of that information is sent to Apple and none of it is sold to third parties. All the personalization is being done on your devices and you can turn it off if you choose to so that you just see generic advertisements that everyone else sees.

All together, I don't see how that makes Apple's trustworthiness weak in this space. In the current state of the internet, advertisement runs everything so they're still delivering on ads to their customers without selling your data or even giving those third parties a way to track you as an individual. That, to me, still equals privacy, at least as far as what Apple is saying.
I did not have that experience with Google Play Music, but I have run into a different struggle with metadata. The new Youtube Music doesn't allow editing metadata online, you have to download the file, edit the tags, and then reupload.

My tags for Hindi songs were always in English. Because of the way Hindi songs are credited, searching by tags like artist was always annoying, but that's not a problem specific to google music. I did have times where Japanese track names got translated to English in the old Google Play Music, but I haven't experienced that with Youtube Music.
I've been in a similar situation recently. I passed the interview but the position I applied for (and was really interested in) is no longer open.

The nice thing is that interview results at Amazon are valid for 6 months; my understanding is that once you pass the interviews you essentially have a free ticket for 1 job (at an equivalent level) anywhere in Amazon. And so waiting until things open up in 2023 is an option.

Actually, you're not stuck here, if you run into issues. You have both:

--export

--import

options available to you for your WSL instances. You can get your configuration just so, then export it to a tarball that you can use for a baseline for later, that you can import it later.

Or you can use Store apps to handle that operation for you. I'm thinking of the subscription-based app called "Raft WSL" that handles that for you.

"…I wouldn't consider WSL stable." - It's not perfect, but it's sufficient to get me off of being a Mac user for 15+ years. Other than the polish of iTerm2, it gave me everything I had on Mac, without all the Mac-isms that I didn't like.

Windows Terminal has proven to work very well for my dev-on-Windows needs.

One of the BIGGEST factors in making this setup my choice is that Microsoft actually works on stuff, AND listens to their customers.

Do you get everything you want? Certainly not.

Do you get feedback when you report stuff? Very often, yes. Even if it's just to say "Yep, we know about this, we're working on it."

Where, when you'd report a bug to Apple - you get nothing. Ever.

Microsoft actually seems to CARE about making theirs the premier dev platform, where Apple only seems to care about new shiny, gives lip service to open source, and gives no responses to feedback.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder if this is related to the transition to remote work. A lot of companies are passing on comparatively expensive US developers and getting the same level of experience for 1/2 or 1/3 the cost in other countries.
> They just get N dollars of work done in a week and that N will beat any amount of frustration, apparently.

In this case, the companies using it are losing money when software makes workers do less than they could because of bad performance. And frustration is externalized on the users, who are a captive user base.

My first reaction is also that this could be a good thing. We need
secure software infrastructure. Markets have not provided that and
this could be one part of the road to a solution.

Despite the headline this is about all software, not just code
that's developed with open source and software freedom as features.

Now could be the time that FOSS gets to put the many-eyes reasoning to
the test with crowdsourced standards compliance. It could make paid
jobs for open source developers as CE auditors for code. That code is
currently just taken by big companies for free, plus the ingratitude
of blaming developers who work for nothing when it goes wrong.

It's mostly a checklist exercise anyway. So long as there's no
monetary cost to compliance it may create a cadre of OS reviewers who
are skilled and prepared to do it for free for projects they support.

Surely, in a real security meritocracy the cruft that passes for
"closed proprietary" software will soon be exposed for what it is. How
long will Windows 11 last in an environment with good security
culture?

Proprietary software will not only have to compete against free, it
will have to compete against _good_, and certified good free and
commercial FOSS. The FUD, disinformation and fearmongering of Big Tech
and it's shills may end up having less impact, not more.

OTOH I doubt this will impact hobby developers and Non-Commercial FOSS
that comes with liability disclaimers from the get-go. It will
however, impact those who want to take that work and deploy it in
critical roles for commercial gain.
Sure - but the banner about "BlockFi is not able to operate business as usual" is still on their home page.. seems relevant until (if?) they resume operations.

There are two big barriers to large-scale vehicle production that make disruption in the sector very difficult.

(1) huge capital investment required at scale — $billions

(2) regulation compliance — you have to follow the rules or you can’t sell in the US. You have to follow a different set of rules in Europe. This is expensive and time consuming.

The only way you could say that there will be dozens of whole-vehicle EV companies is if one or more of them are producing white label versions of the same vehicle for other companies.

The government, if it wanted to, could incentivize electric car production more directly than they have been so far, and with even more dollars. But it’s still going to be an easy business in which to lose vast sums of money.

The best case scenario is that VW, Toyota, etc get their shit together on software, whether separately or collectively.

It is the nature of contract work to be temporary. A full time employee is definitionally a stricter contract between employer and employee that is expected to continue for a longer period of time and represents a more binding commitment.

There is a meaningful distinction between the expected nature of the role and benefits of a contractor vs full time employee.

This isn't to say that laying off contractors doesn't matter, but its not unexpected or as good of a means to understand a company's outlook.

What happens when/if core technologies like SSL, BIND, and even the Linux kernel fail to meet these requirements? Will EU entities have to stop using noncompliant open source software? As someone who is not a fan of bureaucracy, the consequences of this could be almost hilarious.

Edit: TFA is writing about this as legislation to be concerned about. I'd wonder if the best response to this is malicious compliance: "sorry $EU_ENTITY, we never certified, so you can't use our tech that happens to be fundamental to the security/networking/OS stack."

Mathematicians I personally know well are stoutly religious. They describe the world of number and form and structure with the same kind of language the clergy describe God, and so there is some sense in which these are felt as aspects of the same thing.

I also know a number of engineers who are deeply religious, perhaps encouraged by recognizing "design" in nature, seemingly requiring a designer.

In my conversations with these people, their faith, while socially speaking is Christian, the specifics have hardly anything to do with traditional or orthodox theology. It's, as I perceive this, the only acceptable social structure available to them to live out these deep feelings of beauty and harmony in community.
