In the process of generating one triple flip, many, many, many, many, many single and double flips will occur and will be caught. That is why ECC is still an effective defense. Attackers don't just get to go straight to their end game.

This is a biased representation of what Nitric can do for you.

The Terraform you've written out looks like a lot, but the Nitric code is doing a huge amount of lifting in this example.

Not to mention that Nitric is wrapping a Pulumi provider (granted they are using `pulumi-azure-native` unlike the `pulumi-azure` provider that's just a Terraform wrapper).

You can do this exact kind of Function Serialization in Pulumi anyway: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/function-serialization/....

At the end of the day this article is abstracting a huge amount and whilst for startups it might be fine? When something goes wrong you'll want to be able to debug the random queue backlog in your stack.

For an example of this done beautifully in one language where they're managed close the loop with monitoring, I would checkout Encore: https://encore.dev/.

> The attacker will need to cause dozens of machine halts in order to achieve even a single exploitable bitflip. Dozens of machine halts is not something that goes undetected.

If you're targeting a specific machine, if you're throwing the exploit at a few thousand machines shotgun style then you're still going to get your botnet - it'll just be smaller.
lol i should have scrolled down. i love this game :)
Pretty far for pretty cheap! I had a Postgres installation that ran for 6 years without issue with 11 billion rows in one of the larger tables, 1-2 million hits per day, on a single hetzner machine that ran around $130-$150 per month. Same machine ran the web server, reverse proxy, web app back ends, and ML processing in batches.
Others' concerns are valid; the separation of concerns makes infra changes safer and easier to understand. Infra-tooling is slow because of the inherent risk of managing stateful services.

Mixing the infra and application logic is the obvious path forward, though. Just as most applications don't need more than Rails and a single Postgres, most apps don't need customized infra. Simplifying the 80% unlocks cycles for more creative work. Suppose you are successful enough to have to define custom infra at some point. That's good for you. That's a great problem to have.

AI is going to standardize architectures going forward. Providing a simple set of tools in the same code as the logic makes the planner easier for Copilots and reduces the context windows. Terraform and application code have implicit dependencies. Colocating them lets you define explicit dependencies that are more understandable.
That doesn't contradict what I said. If you get a 65 on the test instead of a 30, your score significantly improved, but you still flunked.
Everyone really should be using Linux. It's not that hard.
The author's posts are well written. I browsed through several related articles because I'm doing some work in the authz/authn space right now and this helps to get my head back into it a bit. None of the articles seem to go super deep, but that's ok. I'm also in the middle of reading OpenID Connect In Action. It seems ok, but rather dry so far. Maybe the subject material is just inherently a bit tedious and boring to me personally. Does anyone have any good posts or books they would recommend for getting a better grasp on some of the authentication protocols?
Often, I've experienced state file issues as a result of some not-so-nice dependencies between AWS services. For example, Terraform deletes one thing and then turns around and tries to delete another thing, which fails because the first thing was deleted (it's been a while, so I don't have a detailed example, unfortunately). The result is the state file can no longer be reconciled without manual intervention.

As you pointed out, though, it's not an issue with Terraform, and the above case can be solved by manually managing the dependency with lifecycle management. So, I agree that most cases are often inflicted by things outside of Terraform.

I've played this and it's a fun one-shot.

Along the same lines, I recommend Mentopolis[1][2]. It has the same, "everyone is trapped in here with me"-vibe that EiJ has but it expounds on the idea with a more internal family systems[3] conception of the mind, one that naturally lends itself to great roleplaying. If you need any more of a selling point, it features the loveable Hank Green.

Yeah when I've written Go at scale we've used fx for similar reasons. But for smaller projects I go back-and-forth. Fx makes it quick and easy to start using DI and avoid the repetitive hand initialization and injection, but for smaller codebases it's also much easier to reason about. FWIW I haven't used wire before as if I'm at a scale smaller than fx I'm just wiring in structs by hand.
"It’s fixable so it should be fixed, and even if it’s not fixed, it doesn’t matter," is a pretty good summary of how much thought the pro-regulators are bringing to the topic.
The author forgot to explain why the housing equivalent of a "Lambo" should exist at all, let alone the "Lambo" itself.

It's statistics employed to defend harshly hierarchical societies while claiming to care for the disadvantaged.
Yes. It's basically the reply to their (in my layman's view) offensive non-compliance.

They had plenty time to figure it out and now they may reap what they sowed. Not everybody tried to play games e.g. notice how Microsoft is not a subject of this specific investigation.

This is probably also a final warning shot. I'm certain that if they "suddenly" and "on their own" find ways to "correct" their software and business practices this investigation can be closed without charges brought forward.
The fact that Chromebooks are a success is, if anything, the true testament that there are things that matter to people that (desktop linux) community developers don't care about.
Show HN: Dashify, transform raw data into dashboards easily
Hey everyone, I wanted to share something exciting I've built recently - Dashify, a user-friendly platform that simplifies data visualization.

Dashify is designed with a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. It also offers collaborative features, allowing you to share interactive dashboards with team members, clients, or stakeholders. You can collaborate, discuss insights, and work together seamlessly.

Let me know your thoughts on this and welcome to all feedback!
Exposing yourself on platform for minors, and somehow you are the victim!
Right. I wasn't very clear. I perhaps made it sound like I didn't want any more dogs to be born.

To be clearer, my wish is that we could curtail breeding until supply matched demand. Rather than the current situation where lots of dogs are put down because there are more dogs than homes.
Can you point to any botnets which were built using rowhammer attacks?

Rowhammer and speculative execution attacks are incredibly labor-intensive and target-specific. They are targeted attacks for high-value targets.

This tool is going to have the same problems as Terraform only worse.

It's wrapping Pulumi and managing the state file for that. Yet another abstraction layer on-top of it all.

I'd love to be proven wrong if they can output Pulumi code from their application code?

Even then, I'm not sure what the monetization play here is? You're standing on the shoulders of Pulumi and you're open-source. If you go down the managed route and host the state files you'll be in direct competition with Pulumi's cloud offering...

There is speculation that an elephant suffered a seizure and died in 1962 after it was given a "god" dose which is kinda fun.

One way to gauge when I started in computing is that figures like https://s3.amazonaws.com/com.c64os.resources/weblog/hiddenfi... were what our textbook authors felt was really important for us to know, yet I have spent more than 3 decades since with absolutely no need to care about physical disk layout (the closest I ever got was video editing in the early 90s).

At some point Widlar's "Every idiot can count to one" stopped being pejorative and was wholeheartedly embraced by the entire industry.

Has anyone attempted to do a timeline of computing by "what no longer matters" in each decade?

> Civilisation advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them. —ANW
In fact, I think that's even the only true goal. Operating the gate is a manual process that takes some effort and time, so it's not like they run out to operate it every time someone pushes the button. In practice, I think they still just open it every once in a while.
What changed that caused all this? They can do this now because of the passage of the DMA but was there some specific event that triggered the creation and passage of that?

I’m surprised that so little happened for such a long time in terms of regulation (EU or US) and then suddenly it feels like the EU really jumped in to the fray.

I think if the future of affordable oil relies on us continuously inventing ourselves out of the problem, that implies a great deal of danger.

Just because the shale revolution embarrassed the peak oil crowd doesn’t guarantee shale revolutions happening over and over. If you ignore shale and look at conventional oil reserves several of the peak oil alarmists were essentially correct in their timing. Now shale production is seemingly plateauing.

Maybe we’ll end up with a bitumen or natural gas revolution next but I’m sceptical. I think we’re kind of fucked honestly and only attacking this on the demand side will save us, I don’t see green energy as saving us or nuclear either.
Sure as the sibling comment replies, depends how much love you have to debug the ARM code it generates.

Dapr has some love on the .NET community, and apparently is used by Aspire, however I have seen little adoption of it on polyglot projects.

When not using terraform, I find the scripting approaches easier to follow up.
I’m still disappointed Wikipedia removed the addendum to the article about “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” comparing the Mississippi River’s water quality at the time to the Ganges quantitatively.
And you make yourself guilty of the exact same bad rhetorics here. Let's call it a day - it is OK to just let bad comments be and let them sink. Give them a down vote instead.
Best bet is to build the network to be resistant to government, police, and (underlying layers 2/3) network censorship. You work to make protocols which make individuals and small groups as equally powerful as large groups when it comes to meeting physical/biological survival needs. You promote personal sovereignty even if it means some random nut can kill a bunch of randos as a negative six-sigma result.

Instead of building systems which try to subsume individual mental sovereignty into the group mind (all is one, all is god), promote technologies which enable minds to grow in capabilities and independence (you too can grow into a god). Governments are examples of the former.

It is better the government or any other powerful group not be able to handcuff the guy you don't like today, lest they come to handcuff you tomorrow. Everyday you give up your sovereignty like a currency for some form of benefit (try manufacturing methamphetamine while skipping property taxes, you are not sovereign): always evaluate if you are still getting a good deal, and build technologies which make it harder (NOT EASIER) to both give up or take away that sovereignty.

This is almost a religious thing.

(Caveat: I am big-A Atheist.)
There was also an article mentioning a possible version for Sony News systems.

On SGI it seemed that (later?) several 3d graphics applications used Allegro CL -> perhaps that was powerful enough. For Symbolics to really make sense of SGIs would have made it necessary to tap into the graphics hardware&software from the embedded Ivory boards.
If US loses half a billion in European countries that are by far the most aligned with US view on how to run world and who should do it, suddenly it will be just US, Australia, New Zealand and... maybe few small states against russia and China. Nobody else, some 6?% of global population. Also its extremely rich continent when compared to the rest.

Ie most of Africa already currently is anti-US (and anti-european) if you didnt notice and welcoming China and russia like long lost brothers, and its progressing.

If US will give us big FU, we will manage russian expansionism on our own, with heavy losses, eventually, despite mostly pathetic leadership (ie germans really know how to put clueless folks sabotaging their own countries into leadership). But we wont ever be friends like we are now.

Magas or similar fringe folks need to put together way more coherent arguments than these, since they dont make any sense from any rational point of view, even if completely US-centric and selfish.
This comment reads like someone that has already forgotten about the supply chain nightmare of the past couple of years. Yeah, And, So to the idea that other suppliers can, could, might be available.

How long does it take to suddenly have those suppliers ramp up their production to the same levels? How long does it take for a new shipper to be found from that new location? How long does it take to make any changes to the processing because it's the same but different as far as what is coming in?

Switching to a new vendor when you're comparing shopping at Walmart, Target, Amazon is not any where close to the same thing as receiving raw material from a new vendor for an industrial process.
Show HN: Track Habits by taking pics
Folksable is a photo habit tracking app, people share photo updates of their habits with friends to keep them accountable.

Problem it addresses is many people want accountability from their friends and peers for doing self improvement activities, and they might not be comfortable doing this on instagram/twtr and other social media bcz it’s designed to show off and they might not be vulnerable enough to show things they are bad at and want to grow in.

Folksable is designed to give them that social space & accountability to grow and develop habits,

It achieves this by requiring sharing photo updates of their habits on the app and providing gamification features like streaks & social profile
Same. The crowds and tourist atmosphere certainly don't help, but even disregarding them I wasn't impressed with what I saw.

Same goes for the few other gaudi buildings I peeped at, as well as park guell. I can understand how their design in the late 19th/early 20th century would be very novel, but it all just seemed merely whimsical rather than inspiring or thought provoking.

If we're comparing late 19th century basilicas, Sacre Coeur takes top billing in my book.

I think going from code to OpenAPI makes a lot more sense, at least for strong typed languages. And even if not directly translated from code, at least closer to the actual code, in annotations or something. Generating the spec from code removes a step, where you simply need to update code, rather than update the spec then update the code
Somewhat related anecdote:

Some 10 years back I was working for a solar company doing SCADA stuff (monitoring remote power plant equipment, reporting generation metrics, handling grid interconnect stuff, etc).

We had a big room with lots of monitors that looked like a set in a Hollywood film, no doubt inspired by them. You could see all the solar installations all around the world that we monitored. The monitoring crew put out a call for engineers, stat, and as I walked into the monitoring room I could see perhaps 1/10th of the power plant icons on the wall we red "lost communication", one plant went green to red right in front of me.

This started a shitstorm with all hands be summoned. Long story short, somebody decided the best way to get an external IP for one of our remote gateways was to use curl command to a whatismyip.com type service, but instead of targeting Google (or you know, a server under our control), it hit some random ISP in Italy. The ISP most have eventually realized they were getting ping on by thousands of devices 24/7, so they decided they would drop some percentage of incoming requests silently, and of course the curl call was blocking without timeout. When the remote gateway's was dropped, it blocked indefinitely.

I skipped a lot in between but it was definitely a fun firefighting session, it was particularly hampered by a couple engineers that were quite high up on the food chain getting lead in the wrong direction (as to the root cause) at the beginning and fighting particularly hard against any opposing theories. It was the one time I basically got to drop the "I'm right and I bet my job on it." Fun times.
Terraform feels like a useless wrapper on top of AZ CLI and resource definition yaml files. In general, Terraform provides nothing but a useless wrapper that people need to understand.

Furthermore, most companies don't need K8S either if they are using a cloud provider. It only starts being cheaper if you forget what you pay the DevOps team (or senior devs who do DevOps on top of code) AND have a huge number of resources. Otherwise you literally have to be in maybe the top 30 companies for K8S to actually save you money.
That's no different from the success of Windows or iOS or Playstation or what have you.

I've never used Nitric, but tools of this nature tend to run up against the realities of irreducible inherent complexity.

You fundamentally cannot build abstractions that are both easier *and* as flexible as the thing you are abstracting away, and so tools like this, as other commenters have noted, are great for a simple happy path, but that's almost never what you need once you're outside the tutorial and building something "real", which requires the very flexibility that has been abstracted away.

This is very similar to the argument against (most) ORMs and similar tools. For simple, happy path cases, you can avoid knowing SQL (or in Nitric's case, infrastructure management, platform-specific resources) and use whatever DSL/framework you have, but if you want to do something more complicated, you either have to hack and kludge your way through with the system, or drop down to the lower level and forego the abstraction entirely.

As an aside: Azure is a pain to use with Terraform as its API endpoints seem to be an order of magnitude slower than the equivalent GCP or AWS APIs, so things like `terraform plan` can throw you out of flow even on modestly sized projects. Going back and forth between Azure and other clouds is night and day.
