Please share more details! This sounds so cool!

You're going to need a bigger host to support HN traffic :)

I was going to tell you to wait for Jeff Geerling to do this first otherwise you’re in for a world of hurt.

Then I read your username. Big fan :)

They said "in the US". The data you have provided says "Worldwide" which doesnt prove the point about the US.

This is a technical decision some developers make because they're well versed in Javascript, or because their business can only fund the management of one codebase, or because there's libraries that add massive convenience functions to their development. Or because they believe that their UI needs to have a consistent experience. Or <insert reason X, Y, Z here>...

This whole article is about Chromium and Electron. I am not sure what the purpose of your question is.

It's 2.9L/100km for those who use metric.

That is 34.5km/L or 81.1MPG.

These numbers are incredible.

From the article,

> The tech and cloud giant said Wednesday it would spend another $2.75 billion backing Anthropic, adding to its initial $1.25 billion check.

I don't know how this argument can hold? Malls charge their tenant stores a fee to lease space. Why shouldn't app stores?

I use an application that supports plugins from 3P developers. The number of times some script is broken because a certain developer fat fingered their own config drives me mad. Whereas the experience of downloading apps from the Play Store is seamless.

I don't think the comment implied that it was the "raison d'etre". A company who has employees on the road should strive to make them follow the law. If the vehicles are owned by corporation XYZ, the drivers are employed by corporation XYZ -- it stands to reason that they should ensure that laws are followed. e.g. that the drivers have valid licenses, they are authorized for employment in the region they are employed, etc. Why should following speed limits trigger this train of thought?

Not if you bought a home a decade or two ago and house prices went up around you with no action of your own.

I drive an old Honda Civic and my neighbors all have Tesla, Porsche, etc.

If you are in your 20's, it is totally worth moving to the US where you can get paid 500K+ per year if you navigate your career efficiently. I posit that making this much money more than covers any of these additional expenses that you call out.

100k is below starting salary in the Bay Area or Seattle. Most senior folks make 300-450k with Staff level engineers making 600-800k.

That 2% is putting you slightly higher to the new bottom of band.

So to clarify, if previous years bottom of band was 100K, and this years bottom is 110K, your base bump + your projected stock value (current year + 15% increase planned YoY) will be 110K.

What is a state-given name?

Mate, can you tone it down a little? Your opinion is fine but it’s unnecessarily inflammatory towards basically volunteer work.

Unless you work at Amazon where the training pauses if the tab isn’t actively focused.

I’m convinced that it’s a form of torture.

Pretty sure they are being sarcastic and referring to wooden construction (majority of US homes).

I don’t think any popular websites still use flash. Corporate internal systems though...

What data are you basing this on?

You’re entitled to your opinion, but what GP is saying is factually correct.

I wasn’t aware that balance was missing. Got a source on that?

Not sure what you mean here. Would a similarly architected non-distributed system have higher levels of availability?

Pretty sure that the author knows about XML and XSD - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Bray#XML .

As an Invited Expert at the World Wide Web Consortium between 1996 and 1999, Bray co-edited the XML and XML namespace specifications.

Disclaimer: I work for Amazon but not for Go.

Not sure about data on time saved, but I average 2-5 minutes on each trip to the Go store in Seattle.

As for removing retail jobs, Amazon does hire a ton of people for every store to restock, answer questions, prepare deli foods, etc. So the jobs are likely moving to different parts of the store.

Also, I’m not sure what the official goals of Go are, but I always thought it was to remove friction during checkout. Not to save costs on cashier jobs.

The owner is Colm MacCárthaigh https://twitter.com/colmmacc. He's a Senior Principal Engineer at AWS Networking and is the author of s2n - https://github.com/awslabs/s2n.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing and it costs what it costs for a reason.

We do at AWS. Not all commands though, but most commands that we audit and find are dangerous.

See a similar outage in S3 from 2 years ago - https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/

I wasn’t able to find a single place that had all of this documented, but here’s what I know.

* January to March is the best time of the year because the weather is dry and cloudless. * Pick dates where the moon either sets before it gets dark, or when it’s new moon. * Book viewing tours at multiple places. Aurora Village is amazing as it’s on a frozen lake and there’s heated teepees for you to shake the cold off. There are other tours as well which will take you around so you get the opportunity to photograph the Aurora in various backdrops. Best bet is to probably just DuckDuckGo it. * Rent cold weather clothes at Yellowknife. -40 C/F is typical daytime and nighttime temp during the winter.

I would recommend going to Yellowknife in Canada instead. If you stay there 3 nights, you have a 95% chance of seeing it. Plus it’s closer to the magnetic north, so the lights always pass over regardless of intensity.
