With VM's for local development? What to use for ensuring the right package versions are installed etc? Terraform?

If I were to start a company tomorrow, what should I use instead of Docker? Heroku and dev laptops' filesystems?

On average, updates make stuff better. Getting them automatically and quickly is, on average, a good thing. Only when that becomes untrue for a sustained period of time should you turn off updates, but at that point, you're just sticki

Auto-updates by default are great, but having no way to opt out of auto-updates (or at least, an update to a given known-bad version)? That's pretty bad.

Did you send from the same IP? (Worth including in the post either way). They may also conduct certain A/B tests only on cookied users, in which case your cookieless bot would not have seen everything.

According to TFA, camera raw isn't required to use "Super Resolution", but regardless the answer to your question is "people who cropped their original photo".

That's an interesting argument, I do see what you're saying. I'd counter that since someone of any race can be a Jew by this definition, it doesn't exclude on the basis of race. The intent is also quite clearly to esta

This is definitely a helpful perspective, and I'll try to adopt your suggested practice myself. I don't know that I'd call the change "brilliant", though – for anyone not already seeking to actively reflect on their

Err, that example would be religionist, not racist, right? The African folks in question are Jewish. I'm not saying there aren't problems with racism in Israel, or that the state isn't actively cruel to people it views as dif

Interesting... are there any keyboards with a trackball in a position easily accessible by the right thumb? (I haven't used a trackball myself but I've heard good things...) EDIT: hadn't seen the sibling commenter mention ht

By "scrps of locust" do you mean scraps of Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) wood?

I already use a separate keyboard for each hand when I'm at my desk (external magic keyboard for left hand, right hand on laptop, with the unused half of the external keyboard underneath my propped-up laptop). Works great! I don't

This debate makes me wonder what it'd be like to have a keyboard layout in which the num pad is in the middle of the keyboard, such that on a qwerty keyboard Q-T, A-G, Z-V are on one side and Y-P, H-L, B-M on another, with the number

Yikes, thank you for sharing your experience! Sounds dreadful. What country is this in?

Thanks! (And thanks for all your hard work!)

Is HN fully back? Looks like this was a little less than 3 hours total, is that right?

by rattray 6y ago
Nice, thanks! I was less interested in the code sample as a "how-to" and more for skimmability – rather than reading a bunch of words I just wanted to see what it would look like. Eg, from that link: terraform { requir

I sure wish this post had included a few code snippets, just to make it extra-clear what using Backblaze through Terraform might look like.

Note also that using async/await should be used with the new, non-default ORC garbage collector.

Fwiw I personally quite like having function colors for async tasks and I/O, and in fact wish we also had them for purity (both read-purity and write-purity).

If they did, wouldn't it be a good sign if someone came along and said, hey, this doesn't align with our values, and was able to get it removed?

Those sound like good rules? Are you sure they can set the prices "freely"? Many regulated monopolies like this are restricted in their pricing. (disclaimer, not a swede)

Ah, that's interesting. Different from what I was talking about but certainly makes sense.

Fascinating... Thank you for digging in on this! Could a browser vendor send down a mapping of cohort hashes to interest vectors? I don't see anything in https://github.com/WICG/floc that suggests that couldn&#x27

Err, what? So there would be one cohort of "new-parent-lives-in-springfield-works-in-power-plant-etc-etc" (combining multiple unrelated interests), it just has to have thousands of people in it? Do cohorts allow advertisers to s

I might imagine that Google Inc could sell a product to Mozilla Inc which they could embed in their Firefox browser, enabling them to sell FLoC data to Google. For example.

Wow, right. The M1 MBP available now doesn't even have 4 ports. Definitely still worth waiting...
