This is a nice rant, but telling people not to use this tool because it has many flaws isn't very helpful. AFAIK, there's not a better tool out there to use; the alternative is hoping things will get better by magic and the passage of time (which, to be fair, is somewhat effective; but not ideal if you've got things to do)

Yes, traceroute doesn't address it's hard to get in touch with someone who can help. Sure, anything to do with ICMP probably has to deal with rate limiting (and the two people are tracing so the packet loss is 50% effect is real, and frustrating). But when I've had network problems and a contact who is willing to help, they really want a traceroute or mtr to help narrow down where the problem is.

The trick is finding the right settings to get a mtr that shows what you need to show. My big problem that I needed mtrs for was server a talking to server b over several hops with 2 or 4 way aggregation on each hop. Most of the paths are clean and I can see 0% loss, but there's one link in there with say 10% loss. Default settings will not get you anything useful; you've got to test many 5-tuples (dst host, src host, protocol, dst port, src port) to find one that shows loss and one that doesn't, and then send an mtr from those. You may want to run mtrs in the reverse direction too. You'll need to have a slow probe rate for the mtrs you share, to avoid/reduce the rate limiting issues.

If you can't count on the far side destination definitively responding to pings, your mtrs are going to be too messy to share, unfortunately.

If there's MPLS in the loop, there's an extension to get data from that too, and sometimes it works.

Oracle is an interesting company.

Lots of locked-in enterprises, but everybody in tech hates them.

I think they're a future IBM, but it'll take a long time, perhaps decades, to get there (once an ERP, database system, or cloud provider gets into a big enterprise, it's not leaving again soon).

They have rock solid earnings [https://valustox.com/ORCL] but they're trading at high valuations given their low growth rate and modest dividend.

I am neither buying nor shorting them right now.
I tried again, and still no luck after full refreshes and what not!

I will shoot you an email with the one site I was having trouble with.

But the reliability so far today has been more than I'd be happy with.

The point isn't about whether he should let the options expire - of course he shouldn't. The point is about accuracy in discussing Oracle's corporate governance.

You specifically claimed "Larry has a Blind Trust that sells his stock as they see best fit without his influence." The SEC filings directly contradict this:

1. This is a Revocable Trust, and while technically a blind trust can be revocable, the filings show this trust is actively managed with Ellison's involvement:

- The transactions were specifically timed around options expiration

- The sales were carefully structured in declining price blocks

- The trust uses Ellison's authority as Officer/10% Owner

- Forms are signed by his Attorney

2. These weren't discretionary sales by trustees "as they see best fit" - they were planned options exercises with a clear purpose and strategy.

I don't have an axe to grind. I'm just correcting a mischaracterization about how Larry manages his Oracle holdings. Accuracy matters when discussing corporate governance and SEC filings, especially for a company as significant as Oracle.

If this were a true blind trust they would've exercised the options at $40.47, immediately sell at market (~$143), and net ~$100 profit per share. Instead they did price stepping, and used Larry's Officer status under the pretense of independence.

Replying to finish a discussion no one will probably see, but...

> That the original comment I replied to is false: "Good luck designing crash resilient structures without simulating it on FEM based software."

In refuting the original casually-worded blanket statement, yes, you're right. You can indeed design crash resilient structures without FEA. Especially if they are terrestrial (i.e., civil engineering).

In high-performance applications like aerospace vehicles (excluding general aviation) or automobiles, you will not achieve the required performance on any kind of acceptable timeline or budget without FEA. In these kinds of high-performance applications, the original statement is valid.

> FEM raises the quality floor of engineering output overall, and more rarely the ceiling. But, excessive reliance on computer simulation often incentivizes complex, fragile, and expensive designs.

Do you have any experience in aerospace applications? Because quite often, we reliably achieve structural efficiencies, at prescribed levels of robustness, that we would not achieve sans FEA. It's a matter of making the performance bar, not a matter of simple vs. complex solutions.

> I agree with his main point. It's an essential tool for combatting certifications and reviews in the world of increasing regulatory and policy based governance.

That was one of his points, not the main one. The idea that its primary value is pandering to paper-pushing regulatory bodies and "policy based governance" is specious. Does it help with your certification case? Of course. But the real value is that analyses from these tools are the substantiation we use to determine the if the (expensive) design will meet requirements and survive all its stressing load cases before we approve building it. We then have a high likelihood of what we build, assuming it conforms to design intent, performing as expected.
This is anecdotal but virtually everyone I see getting excited about the free tier on Oracle is hoping to max out their usage in an exploitative way, though they likely don’t see it that way.

I think in these situations you have to imagine what would be sustainable if every user did the same. If you exceed that, you’re probably going to meet some friction.

It's hard to put into words. I think the essence of you questions is "what is your philosophy now, and how does it differ from before?" That's a question I've been struggling to conceptualize myself for a while now, so I can't describe it with any sense of coherence in a public forum.

Ask HN: How to build SaaS that makes money?
I understand that age old wisdom is not start with money as sole motivator. However, I don't have a choice. Building SaaS is the only way out. Let's keep the backstory aside and not focus on it.

I have too many ideas and I have build a product partially. I got paid for doing manual work. I am afraid locking down on one idea is putting all eggs in one basket. If that does not work I will end up losing 6 months and some capital and opportunity cost.

How do I choose the product roadmap and what to build. I have been proficient in full-stack development, data engineering, and partly with ML/AI. No research experiece but that is not going to pay me anyway.

How do I build when there is SaaS overflow with AI app every day with Twitter bros advertising they made $10k in 3 months?

Customers are flooded with emails, ads, apps. What are ways you market your SaaS and make money?

I'm not giving rust credit, I'm giving Go a demerit for having a large stdlib which it does not have a good path to evolve around security problems.

We do have stuff like `golang.org/x/<etc>` and `rand/v2`, both of which people don't really use, which are I think clear indications that the go team screwed up here.

Things like tls and http should have been separately versioned packages from the beginning, allowing infrequent breaking changes, and for users to update at their own pace independently of the compiler version.

As-is, every time I update the go compiler, I also have to worry about setting a bunch of new GODEBUG flags (like 'x509sha1=1') to perform the compiler update without breaking stuff, and then separately deal with the breakages associated with those flags. Practically every go version in recent memory has had a breaking http or tls change which has caused issues for me.

But of course they're all tied together, so to get a CVE fix in one package, I have to update the entire stdlib at once, so I have to accept some broken http change in order to fix a tls CVE or whatever.

If tls were a separate package, I could update it separately from the compiler and http package and consume security updates more quickly, and also actually update my go compiler version without worrying about how much of my code will break.

As I said, I'm not giving rust extra-credit, it did the reasonable normal thing of saying "the stdlib is for stuff we're pretty sure is actually stable", while go instead said "idk, will net.Dial ever need a timeout? Who knows, let's promise it's stable forever anyways" and "the default zero value for tls version should be 1.0 forever right", which I think deserves an obvious demerit.

The most typical reason argmax (temp 0) is non-deterministic is that your request is running batched with other people requests. The number and size of these affects the matrix sizes and thus tiling decisions. Then you get different floating point order and thus different results.

Nvidia gives some guarantees about deterministic results of their kernels but that only applies when you have exact same input data and this is not the case when in-flight batching.
You'd need to have a very specialised workload to convince me that a local virtualised environment isn't the best solution for development.
I recommend to start using UV.

It is very fast and tracks the libraries you are using.

Very strange. Enough bad things can be said about Intel CPUs, but I have never had any doubts about their stability. Except for that one recent generation that could age to death in a couple of months (I didn't have any of these).

AMD is IME more finicky with RAM, chipset / UEFI / builtin peripheral controller quality and so on. Not prohibitively so, but it's more work to get an AMD build to run great.

No trouble with any AMD or Intel Thinkpad T models, Lenovo has taken care of that.

I've been working in tech the last 5 years.

This is a rant.

I'm constantly burning out at my job now. I hate how shit the work is, fucking pushing shit features for a shit codebase that adds negative value to the world.

There is no craftsmanship in anything anymore, just rush everything out the door full of bugs, everything is just money at the end of the day. No time to spend time making quality valuable products.

Golden bloody handcuffs, earning a decent amount, but to what end?

Constant layoffs, restructuring, bastard management and HR, no stability, no pay-rises, and no end in sight. As a worker I feel worthless. Treated like scum.

I love computers. I love learning, I love the power of programming. I hate that this capitalist shit-hole we live in means that the only Software we build is software that makes money. Marketing automation!? Fuck me!

What the hell do I do?

I want a consistent job, stability, to be treated well, not just a number on a spreadsheet. I want a job where I can learn maths or science or computer programming/hardware, and not have my livelihood held to ransom by conservative lackwits in government cutting down on "non-essential" things like education.

I hate this trajectory the world is on. I had so much hope for the world when I was younger. I'd hate to show younger me current me.

Local drives. DONT USE EBS! you’ll incur a huge IO charge. You have to choose instances with attached nvme storage which means one of the storage optimized instances.

Reading the data off s3 will mean you will be slower than offerings like snowflake. Snowflake has optimized the crap out of doing analytics in s3, so you can’t beat it with something as simple as duckdb.

Importantly you need the data in some distributed format like parquet or split csv. Otherwise duckdb can’t read it in parallel.

When you first arrive, look around the room, to get a scope of what is where and what (in a general sense) groups there are.

Find people to talk with. Many groups are not pre defined, and are more random. A group of 2 stay away from, as they are having a conversation. Find some group of 3 or more. Walk up, await the person talking to pause and look at you. Now the hard part Hand out to the person who was talking, and introduce yourself.

Of course if getting involved is too tough, then just listen and smile. Smile, Smile. You are never dressed without a smile.

Not a hiccup. Why do we care if foreign farmers can feed their animals? We need to focus on us first. They shouldn’t even be able to buy property here until they’re a citizen.
I think the reasoning is like this:

- People choose Python to get ease of programming, knowing that they give up performance.

- With multi-core machines now the norm, they’re relatively giving up more performance to get the same amount of ease of programming.

- so, basically, the price of ease of programming has gone up.

- economics 101 is that rising prices will decrease demand, in this case demand for programming in Python.

- that may be problematic for the long-term survival of Python, especially with new other languages aiming to provide python’s ease of use while supporting multi-processing.

So, Python must get even easier to use and/or it must get faster.

I appreciate your extensive and considered response.

There were dozens of other books often attributed to other apostles, and even by the time of Paul, he was warning about false gospels in circulation. The point is that we know that authorship was attributed to various books to give them weight and credibility.

It took around 200 more years before the current canonical list of books was settled on -- and then distributed around the world of Christianity without mixups (of course, Eastern Orthodox had their own ideas but the point stands). Considering how much less established and illiterate Christianity was in 180 vs 380 it seems even less surprising that the names of authorship could be chosen and settled.

Thumbing through iterations of PSN client IDs, attempting to sign in to the EA gateway proxy returns 'namespacename' value that's pulled from personal data. 2F-A token info should be hashed in /tokeninfo/ endpoint pulled from JUNO.

Attempting to integrate, post-ex-facto - infrastructure for a C++ API would return the PSN user id.
Semver is best suited to projects that can afford to make deliberate backwards-compatibility breaks for the sake of facilitating future development, and bundle those breaks together.

Python tried that once 16 or so years ago, depending on how you count (and, frankly, didn't break enough things) - and everyone is still bitter about it.

Income tax is calculated differently than sales tax (but most of the time it's progressive taxation which means you only pay the the 50% rate on your marginal income and not on the whole: my marginal income tax rate is 41% but I pay only 9% of my income as income tax for instance)
I really like the dataframe approach. I think it’s because I like REPL-driven-development where I can drop into the REPL and work through how to transform the data interactively.

To be fair, it can nearly always be done in SQL also (unless it’s ML or some Python-specific thing like that), but the SQL with nested queries and numerous CTEs is harder for me to wrap my brain around.

If I were betting, I’d pick DuckDB, because DuckDB seems more able to implement something Polars-like, than Polars is to implement something DuckDB-like.

I do, because that's a BS price. I just looked on Ebay, and while there's a bunch of LTO-5 drives for somewhere around that price, they're all broken, "parts only". Actual working drives are much, much more expensive. $500 or more for just a drive isn't cheap.
When Trump lost in 2020 his supporters accused Twitter, Facebook, etc. of censoring their voices. Laws were passed in Texas to combat this. Now the pendulum has swung the other way.
I’d recommend using the polars SQL context manager if wanting to defer learning how to do everything through their API. The API is a big enough shift from pandas it took me a minute to figure out but I really enjoy having the choice to stay in dataframe methods or switch to SQL only transformations. It has global state too if that’s needed. I like that it isn’t a RDBMS but provides all of the SQL I use.
