Nah it was fine. I had a job offer two weeks after I left doing the same thing.

I knew after the first year that I didn’t plan on stay at Amazon for more than four years and I planned accordingly.

I was nine months and two vesting periods short. But the severance more than made up for one.

The longer version of the story.

> I don’t know what the right answer here is but it would be nice to explore the topic more than “Musk is bad”.

I mean, Musk has been on the vanguard of the "Ukraine's resistance is futile" push. You can call speculation on this line specious, unthinking "Musk is bad" rhetoric, but at some point negative criticism of a person is relevant.

It takes zero imagination to conceive of Musk turning a blind eye to Russia's use of Starlink, it would be consistent with the way he speaks on X/Twitter.

It may seem like bashing, but honestly it's easy to run out of good things to say about some people.
I've found actively pausing a video before exiting seems to improve the accuracy of the resume point.

I'm presuming this is because it fires a beacon on pause, but only every X (10?, 30?) seconds on playback.

Not had many issues with it completely forgetting where I am though (it does sometimes get confused as to which episode I watched last though).
> musk is currently one of our most major diplomatic point of contact with Russia

Genuinely curious where you’re getting this. For what it’s worth, no, Musk is not a diplomatic contact for anyone in the West with Russia, though there is rising concern he sees himself as such, which leads to him e.g. leaking Ukrainian firing plans to Moscow’s envoys.

> it's kind of in the US interest to ask musk to gas up putin a bit

Not particularly. Though I can see him being used without knowing it.

I am a huge fan of SpaceX and Musk. But while Starlink is hugely relevant to the war, Musk per se is presently between irrelevant and mildly damaging to American interests.
Reminds me of my favorite parable, When Diogense trolled plato:

Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, "My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings, you wouldn't have to wash vegetables."

"And," replied Diogenes, "If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn't have to pay court to kings."
You don't that is for sure.

As for the rest I could provide examples of how the BSDs and Solaris failed in similar attempts to clone Linux syscalls table, despite being UNIX, before Microsoft's attempt, but who cares?
They're pretty clear here on what the benefits are. Microservices allow you to scale up and down individual system components without having to carry along the rest of a vertically scaled monolith for the ride. This makes for more efficient utilization of compute resources. For a company renting compute resources from the cloud, like Netflix, this can save a lot of money.

What Amazon did, according to this needlessly snarky article that is not Amazon's tech blog, does not conflict with this. It's all theory. In reality, you should not be dogmatic and religious about your architecture choices, but empirical wherever possible. They measured utilization and cost and found they could do better in some cases with monolithic sub-systems. This doesn't mean all of Prime Video abandoned SOA.
It only explains what is different between sudo and runas. It doesn't really explain why they couldn't just improve runas and add those missing features instead of creating a new command. As it stands now you seem to need both sudo and runas to cover all reasonable use cases.

> Modern cars, and EVs especially, are usability nightmares. No more buttons [...]

Depends on car. My Renault Megane e-Tech has buttons for most of the stuff I want[1], like AC controls, windscreen heater, media controls, seat adjustment and such.

> Batteries need replacing after a number of years (let's say 10 years [...]

My car has a guarantee of minimum 70% battery (SOH) after 8 years or 160000km. That's roughly 280 km range, so should be useful for many years after that.

That said, it's certainly a transition period, and it'll take a decade or two before things settle I think. It's like buying computers back in the 90's and 00's, the next processor was just that much better so it never felt like a good time to buy.

how much space is too much? curious how much you've had hono apps use

Previously Ukraine wanted to use Starlink in Crimea, but Musk geo-disabled them saying that Starlink is forbidden to provide business to sanctioned regions.

I was highly commended for bringing up 6 new microservices a year ago during my performance review. Late during development I noticed that at least 2 of them were useless (they are essentially message routing gateways, I planned to "enrich" messages from inside, but ultimately never did). It was already done and I did not want to waste time to integrate those two services into the others so I left it as is and, well, my boss loved it.
You can Airplay the Vision Pro to an Apple TV or a Mac connected to your iCloud account. The real issue is that every time someone else wants to use your Vision Pro, they need to go through eye and hand calibration. It’s impossible to see something cool and just hand the headset over to someone else to pop on. My parter enjoyed trying it out but the friction of doing setup again has killed any desire to share more of the experiences directly.

You know what's even less promising than a bunker on Earth? A bunker literally anywhere else in the observable universe. In fact, we could nuke the entire surface of the earth and it would probably still be easier to establish a self-sustaining colony on the resulting radioactive wasteland then on the Moon/Mars/Venus.

There is a very good reason why Earth is, and will continue to, sustain a great diversity of life and the rest of space is sterile.
That's true. It's missing "a ton of features" but the question is, if these missing features in the template language stop us from building correct and maintainable web applications. Having that said: We are fine with JSX.

Using Razor obviously did not stop Microsoft from building buggy web applications.
Yeah, nestloop with a cheap inner path (e.g. a lookup into a unique index) should be just fine, so I don't think nestloops as a whole should be banned. (Also, I believe Postgres is pretty much the only place I've seen the concept of a parameterized path described; it's not talked much about in academia, although it is probably really hard to make an index-aware System R planner without it.)

I wondered whether it would be possible just to add a fixed fuzz to every row estimate, say five rows. It would essentially mean you can never get this issue of a small undercount causing a plan disaster. Overestimating slightly is basically never a big issue as far as I know.

(I should perhaps have considered this when I was actually making a query planner in a previous life, but there were more than enough other things to worry about :-) )

Ask HN: Weighing reputational and moral consequences of leaving Russia / staying
I've been thinking a lot about whether I should consider emigrating to another country (currently I'm in Russia). I'm not involved in politics or the military action, but I can't help but feel implicated by my government's actions as a citizen here. Specifically, the increasing authoritarianism and human rights issues worry me. On the other hand, I have family and (very few) friends in Russia, plus clearer studying opportunities, and I'm not sure if I want to leave that behind; also, Russia is my home - I'm unsure whether this might be important.

I'm a software engineer in my 20s living in Moscow, with self-employment and quite stable income. I'm interested in building global startups, so I'm worried about the reputation of my future company(ies) in the context of remaining in Russia for so long. Meanwhile, I'd prefer to continue cooperating with my (small) Russian social circle. But I'm unsure they have my better interests in mind (so I'd also like advice on how to determine that, if possible).

I'm looking for perspectives from this community on the moral and other considerations and responsibilities I have as an individual. Mainly I worry about global reputation of myself and my (future) companies. Should I continue my life here as usual? Should I keep contacts and cooperation with acquaintances/friends (some of whom might be potential business partners) who remain? (Btw, I somewhat worry that I could absorb some of their differing beliefs which could make me less effective.) Is there anything constructive I can do if I stay? Or is leaving the country and minimizing contacts the only ethical choice?

Curious to hear thoughts. I'm especially interested in advice on how to weigh all this from those with more experience in similar situations.

I don't have strong opinions yet, so please share a variety of perspectives. Mostly looking for help in thinking this through in a thoughtful way during a confusing time.
That sounds cool.

Thanks!
This is great, I finally understand how continuations work (since I now see how they might be implemented in the runtime). Thanks!

Could you provide a similar example of what delimited continuations are?
FYI on https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/116089: `inline` first and foremost affects the One Definition Rule. Very briefly put: If you have a function defined (!) in a header (and call it in different .cc files), you will get linker errors unless you mark it as inline.

The effect on the actual inlining optimization could be anything between "none", "the compiler might weigh it differently purely due to linkage" and "it is actually taken as a hint", plus a similar set of considerations for link-time optimization. A much stronger inlining signal to the compiler (specifically for functions that are only used in the file they are defined in) is to define them in an anonymous namespace.

The original intent behind marking the function `inline` could reasonably have been an attempt at actually achieving inlining. A measurable benefit is not obvious (but also not impossible).

My wife has had an EV company car since 2019. From her experience, I can say it pays to think ahead about what range you need and charge the car accordingly.

Fast chargers are convenient when available, but most of the time she uses slow chargers and charges the car overnight and/or seeks out a parking lot with chargers close to her destination.

She's upgrading to her second EV next week, which has bigger range (still not massive). For most trips with the kids however, we resort to my old fossil fuel wagon.

Since the most compelling difference from other VR headsets is the seamless pass through, I’d say you’re paying about $3000 extra dollars on top of a Quest 3 to get a headset you can do chores wearing.

The weight and lack of SteamVR have me strongly considering returning it, but I’m keeping it for novelty factor and sentimental reasons (my brother worked on the foveated rendering) and have found a few ways to put it in my routine - besides chores, the environments turned all the way up are pretty relaxing, not as good as being at Haleakala, but much better than my Valve Index.

> “For a standard system, we observed that under high irradiance conditions, the increase due to the light is offset by the decrease due to the higher operating temperature,” Van Aken stressed. “However, for the vertical system, we observed that the operating temperature is not increasing so much and the voltage increase and decrease are more or less balancing.”

Facing the bright sun increases temperature enough to offset the gains in voltage (since temperature increases presumably increase resistance if my EE101 classes hold in this era). Not facing the sun? Less heat -> more total power throughput.
Same. IMO Hono + Workers seems to be somewhat of a hidden gem but this largely comes down to Workers, of course.

The performance (and especially pricing) is pretty wild and combined with various bindings (R2, KV, D1, AI, etc) general Cloudflare stuff, free egress, etc it can provide significant advantages.

That said looking at this I’m confused, to put it mildly, and I may start looking elsewhere. Back to itty-router?

If you read the Prime Video blog post the takeaway is definitely not "always use a monolith". I haven't used Step Functions but they specifically mention step functions with a lot of state transitions (and the pricing model is per state transitions) and storing things in S3 and having to access things there all the time (which I've used S3 before and I was a bit shocked by since it seemed obvious to me that was gonna be really expensive). The takeaway for me was it's important to actually understand the tools that you're using.

As an aside the Prime video article as a bit funny, at one point they have the line (which I hope is sarcastic but I fear that it isn't) "We experimented and took a bold decision: we decided to rearchitect our infrastructure" when their original design just obviously chose tools that didn't fit their workflow.

This line struck me and particularly the mention of tea.

While tea is only slightly mood-altering, the fact that tea was made with boiled water must have had some larger impact given that it reduced the odds of getting a water borne disease. Yes, you could argue that beer/mead etc also had to be boiled but alcohol is a depressant.

The combination of boiled water and a small amount of caffeine being used by a population not used to it must have been a big deal.
