News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Having built a prototype of a system like Ursa myself, this isn't something that you need to use at all, especially because it seems like this is only available in S3 Express One Zone.
If they're offering SSO using a 3rd party provider like Auth0 then they probably have to charge for it because of how expensive it is.
I love this stuff. Seems like TektiteDB also has an implementation as well https://github.com/spirit-labs/tektite/tree/main/cluster
Ah gotcha, that's a nice way of approaching it. Best of luck to you guys.
Do you guys only offer SAML in your hosted SaaS?

Amazing! I also learned about domains with your comment.
Re:Versioned Finite-State Machines with PostgreSQL (2019) on Thursday July 25, 2024 @01:13PM (#41071021)
I always wondered about this, a while ago I saw a library similar to this that modeled FSMs in Postgres, and had a comment saying "todo: cycle detection". And made me wonder if it's even possible to do this.
I've seen a bunch of people recommending alternatives that are also Python based, makes me wonder if there's similar things for other languages like Go, Rust, etc
Re:Python Cloudflare Workers on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @11:20AM (#39906760)
I'd be curious to see a direct performance comparison between their python and JS workers. Based on my own experience with pyodide, I'd wager there might be up to a 2x performance penalty.
This tends to be my experience, but mainly when it comes to areas that neither model know about. Claude 3 Opus will happily make something up, but ChatGPT4 will point out where it's lacking.
Can you point to any resources to read up on this?
Which is interesting considering Freeman Dyson was the guy that made the connection between Schwinger's and Feynman's QED.
Re:Quicksort with Jenkins for Fun and No Profit on Thursday January 25, 2024 @03:11PM (#39134536)
Since we're on the subject, is there a modern alternative to Jenkins?
Are you talking about pods/deployments/etc or lower level abstractions like informers and things like that?
Re:Ask HN: Any comprehensive courses on Auth? on Sunday November 19, 2023 @12:25PM (#38334971)
I'm currently in the boat where I need to set up authentication (and eventually authorization) for a startup catering to big enterprises almost exclusively. I'd love to be recommended resources for setting up something like Keycloak or Auth0 (or anything else) for that use case.
Re:IceCube – South Pole Neutrino Observatory on Tuesday October 24, 2023 @06:33PM (#38006605)
I learned how to program by working on a modest simulation for one of the PIs involved with IceCube. I ended up leaving academia but I really enjoy keeping up with the project over the years.
I specifically started paying for youtube premium because spotify just didn't have nearly as much of the music I listen to, and specifically the artists I listen to, and the youtube music app was good enough. The fact that I can watch youtube without ads is a nice little bonus.

For my purposes, youtube premium is 100% worth it.

Re:ArgoCon – Vendor-neutral Argo-focused Event on Wednesday October 18, 2023 @08:53PM (#37936877)
Overpriced? Can't say I disagree with you, but Harness was by far the best CD solution I've ever used, and to this day I'm still waiting for an open source solution to replicate the experience, without needing to deploy resource hungry services.
Re:Tech CEO Sentenced to 5 Years in IP Address Scheme on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @03:26PM (#37920326)
Some agencies, ones you might not even expect like the USPS and FDA, also have law enforcement powers, but have very narrow jurisdiction (relative to general law enforcement agencies like the FBI). So when a case actually does fall under their jurisdiction, they execute their duties "with extreme prejudice", so to speak. Assuming the story from the OP you replied to is true, the fact that they arrested the police officers would show how seriously they take their duties, even if the officers tampering with the mail was due to carelessness while they themselves were performing their duty.
Re:Stream Compression in NATS on Monday October 09, 2023 @11:50PM (#37828342)
Yea, after reading the article I went and read the 2.10 release blog post and then came back and commented as if the article posted was the 2.10 post. That was my mistake.
Re:Stream Compression in NATS on Monday October 09, 2023 @01:05PM (#37822593)
I was hoping the blog post would include a tentative roadmap for adding tiered storage.
Re:Run PostgreSQL. The Kubernetes Way on Friday September 22, 2023 @05:00PM (#37617725)
I've never used it myself, but while doing research I noticed that it received a lot of praise from users.

One thing that did catch my attention is that it doesn't use statefulsets for the postgres pods. I mostly agree with their reasons, but I haven't taken the time to understand their implementation.

Hard to say, as far as I can tell there's no networking libraries right now.
Re:Killed by Google on Friday September 01, 2023 @11:00AM (#37351660)
This might have been a concern within the first few years of its life, but at this point Go has too much community inertia to get killed.
The worst is that if you "OD" on tylenol, you won't die right away, but instead slowly and increasingly painfully over time, perfectly aware of what's going on.
Yea, I mean basically there are a variety of techniques for encoding molecules as vectors. Morgan/circular fingerprints (cf https://darkomedin-datascience.medium.com/data-science-for-d... as a quick google search) are one way of encoding to bit vectors, and the Tanimoto similarity is a well validated measure of similarity (because of the bit vectors, cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_similarity).

Virtual screens of molecules frequently use steps to filter out molecules, one of which is via chemical similarity.

Would be great to also add the ability to calculate the tanimoto coefficient for cheminformatics purposes.
Re:EdgeNode: Deploy Serverless Containers on Edge on Monday July 10, 2023 @11:57AM (#36668242)
There’s a lot of edge compute services, but I’m still waiting for the Postgres equivalent of fauna or upstash.
Re:Benzene Exposure Alters Endocrine Activity on Tuesday June 20, 2023 @01:47PM (#36407724)
When I was taking organic chemistry my (mid-to-late 60s at the time in ~20010) teacher told us an anecdote about benzene when we started learning about aromatic molecules. She told us that they used to clean their lab bench with benzene solvent to make it sparkling clean. Of course, she also told us it was carcinogenic and then finished by saying a lot of her contemporary colleagues that went into organic chemistry research were now dead. Really drives home that a lot of safety precautions and practices are "written in blood", so to speak.
