This is such an interesting counter point. So really there needs to be a balance in tool choice that finds an optimum between deliverable UX with enough devX so that devs can stay sane enough to get the product built in the first place so the UX can exist.

Surely we're not going to start making arguments that out ultimate UX delivered apps are hand written asembly (at the most absurd end of the argument ;-) )
If you tend to have IPv6 at work and on mobile, you can out up multiple servers at home and reach them -- without having to use alternative ports or a port multiplexing scheme. (Provided the ISP CPE lets you actually get incoming SYNs; sometimes that's a lot harder than it should be)

that's absolutely true, the real low-power is LoRA technically, it's just that LORA is too small comparing to all these cellular giants.

maybe Amazon or some other big guy interested in IoT should acquire LoRA, then for low-power use cases, LTE-M has absolutely no chance.
Going to echo what I said last time before everyone falls for the propaganda. The bots did not play at a top tier level, the bots didn't even play at a level that could be considered median level. They did not discover new mechanics. They couldn't even understand basic mechanics. Their coordination was no more sophisticated than "wander around together and press all the buttons on the first enemy".

They were showing some signs of competitiveness because of their consistently better than human mechanical skills. You can go a long way in Dota2 off solid mechanical skills.

You know, I think normally the common sense buy-vs-build wisdom would win out here, but this is truly an offering that is trivial to build out and is aimed towards an audience that can forgive the common UX perils of home built solutions.

Not to mention there are great off the shelf open source alternatives that work FANTASTIC and have most of the offerings listed on this SaaS product. I use https://github.com/Rebilly/generator-openapi-repo which took literally minutes to setup.

Here's my workflow:

* I type "npm start" in my docs project repo and load the tab that contains the syntax-highlighting enabled editor window in the browser.

* I modify my swagger.yml to update my documentation in the editor

* I use the dev preview tab (a separate node web dev server on another port) to see how the documentation looks

* Once I'm satisfied, I commit and push everything into the git backed repo.

My api docs exist on a github page so I don't even need to worry about hosting. As soon as I push my changes, they are live on my docs site. I've setup a CNAME record to point apidocs.mycompany.com to the github page and presto, I have a whitelabeled documentation site that I can update on a dime, for free, with absolutely zero monthly charge.

I have a hard time understanding how even the most elementary of developer couldn't manage to do this. I can't imagine it takes more than two hours for a mediocre web developer to get running (at most).

At what point do you have the financial responsibility to reasonably consider implementing an elementary task yourself instead of SaaSifying yet another area of your company? $49/mo is less than my hourly rate, in theory, but doing it once means one less SaaS bill at the end of the month.

In what use case is buying this product justifiable?
This is fantastic advice.
I've worked with Ada but not deployed it in a real product, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but:

> that development time would be considerably longer

It really depends on how good the support for the platform you're working on. If it is well-supported / documented, then you'll be at least as fast as with C.

> that finding other people able to maintain the codebase would be hard

Eh, it's a pretty straightforward language, and anybody reasonably talented (which most embedded programmers certainly are) should be able to maintian it without difficulty.

> and that the resulting code would be considerably less performant than equivalent C.

Definitely not the case. Ada is basically a bare metal language (notably, no garbage collector), so it is very performant, and just as easy to reason about performance and underlying assembly code as C. There are some runtime checks that are enabled by default (e.g. bounds checking) which contribute to slightly slower performance, but these can be easily disabled if needed.

> How does it compare to "microcontroller C" with no strings and statically declared memory?

It's basically the same, but with far fewer "gotchas" to trip you up, but stricter typing and nicer semantics, together with a pascalesque syntax (more english like, without curly brackets, which you may or may not like). I've only ever used it with statically declared memory (although it does have features like memory pools which reportedly make managing heap-allocated objects easier).

Not irrelevant to my professional career, to be honest. There have been a few situations where being able to see a tricky, unfamiliar problem and after some thought say, "oh, we can use a DP algo for that" has saved a large amount of future headache.

Only a small fraction of people on the team need to have that skill (more in some teams than others, too) so I don't think it's a great thing to test for (much less require), but it's actually a pretty valuable skill in my experience.

Doesn't taste good? That's a matter of opinion. I love fast food.

It's not necessarily more expensive than home cooking. A value menu cheeseburger at McDonald's is $1[1]. First result on google[2] says ground beef, 100% beef, per lb. is $3.75. The McDonald's cheeseburger's patty has a weight of 1.6oz or .1lbs, which of the aforementioned ground beef would cost $0.375. Tomato is estimated at $0.08 cents per slice, buns at $0.41 per bun, and lettuce at $0.02 for a leaf[4]. The slice of cheese is estimated at $0.29[5].

.375 + .08 + .41 + .02 + .29 = 1.175. So the homemade burger costs more not even accounting for the opportunity cost of the time to make it, the fact that you're probably not going to use all those ingredients and eventually throw some of them out, gas/electric for the stove, and possible butter/vegetable oil.

Not that it isn't worth it to make homemade burgers - they're definitely better than McDonald's, especially if you get local grass fed beef, but I like the unique taste of fast food restaurants and the economies of scale work in their favor to make things cheap, sometimes cheaper than cooking it yourself.

And on health, I don't see how the McDonald's burger is any worse for you than a homecooked one. McDonald's one probably has less grease. Maybe beef quality, but I'm not sure quality of beef has a direct impact on healthiness.

This looks awesome, but the methodology and experimental setup look pretty complicated and just on that basis alone it seems like there'd be some risk of bias or overfitting to creep into the analysis... I'm not criticizing the researchers or the experimental design, it's just a danger in any complicated study like this.

Bottom line, I'm definitely interested in this paper, but want to wait and see if others can replicate the results before getting overly excited.

I used to feel that way, I was a die-hard manual guy for a long time. Then I decided to get a car that only came with an automatic, and it was a good automatic, and all my gripes about autos went away.

The car in question was a used Audi A8. In "S" mode it would shift pretty much the way I'd shift my manual Audi S4. In D mode it was more sedate, but if I needed to downshift in order to be ready when a gap opened in traffic, I could pull on the left paddle twice and it would downshift. I thought that worst case if I hated it I could just use the paddles or the same thing on the shifter. It had a mode where it would not shift unless you told it to as well. I tried that a few times, but in the end just used D most of the time and S for the twisties.

Now I'm not sure what I have. Is a Tesla a Automatic or a Manual? It is direct drive, so you don't touch it once you "shift into gear", but it isn't making gear changes for you either. Hmmm. :-) It's also fast and smooth and absolutely no lag, either through induction/turbo or through gear changes. I worried as a car guy that I would find it too isolating, but the things I like about good cars, this has in spades (smooth, responsive, powerful engine).

Yup. Don't argue about defining terms, just ask the defining terms people.

Merriam-Webster:
a : consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)

American Heritage:
1. Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water: a wet towel.

OED:
1. Covered or saturated with water or another liquid.

Ironically, most dictionaries have fish and submarines easily wet, but don't do a great job of handling the situation where you just get a few drops of rain on you, when you're a little bit wet. They use "covered with," which to me suggests they're only talking about when you're thoroughly wet or submerged.
Driver engagement is exactly what I don't want, so I strongly prefer automatic.

> 1) The day Amazon feel threatened they can become the cheapest in the market quickly again.

No. Amazon had built up trust. Trust that they were the cheapest place to look, and trust that they were ultra-reliable. Trust that their reviews were trustworthy.

The longer that's untrue for, the more the brand is becoming irreparably damaged. It seems mind-blowingly stupid. Three years ago, I would purchase absolutely anything I could from Amazon. Clothes, for example.

There's a brand of jeans I like, I know the size and style I like, and I used to always just go to Amazon. These days I spend my money on Zalando because I don't want fakes, and I know that Zalando will make sure I get genuine items each time.

I bought a suitcase a little while ago. Wrong item was sent. Because of whatever agreement Amazon has with the third-party who sold it to me, I couldn't easily generate an immediate refund like I used to be able to do.

Amazon have probably lost around $3-4,000 of easy revenue from me this year, so far. The whole thing feels like a massive own-goal.

> I'm sure it's incredibly difficult to defend your country against endless attacks

I'm not Israeli. I just find the left leaning dialog on this topic to myopic and one sided.

> as happened this summer

It was shown following an investigation that most of those killed with live fire were in fact armed terrorists. There was no "relative indiscriminate shooting into a crowded area." There was targeted sniper fire at terrorist hiding among agitated people intent on breaking through a recognized border in an attempt to do real bodily harm to Israeli citizens. The fact that you've phrased things the way you have makes it pretty clear that you do not in anyway believe that Jews have a right to life.

In addition this was in no way a peaceful protest of civilians, it was an angry mob that was flinging molotov cocktails, burning and bomb laden kites and balloons, burning tires and all sorts of other things in an attempt to break through a designated border area that they were repeatedly warned away from. There was a "nurse" who turned out to be throwing grenades who was shot but for a good 48 hours the left-leaning publications ran with a story that the Israelis had killed her in cold blood until the video was released of her throwing grenades. There was video of a child "shot and killed" who was later "shot and killed" again in different clothing before being seen in a later video getting up from the ambulance and walking away.

More innocent civilians have been killed in the ukrainian civil war in the last two years than by Israel in the last 10.

The military is under rigid control, so much so that their lives are often in the balance because they're afraid to use the necessary force for fear of unfounded international condemnation.

The Joy of Joy Language
We need to stop pretending young people are complete gullible idiots who don't read anything on the internet or listen to advice from their parents and other adults. There's a simpler explanation and we already know it.

Going to college and getting an education (and especially a good university) makes you so much more money in the future, that it's worth paying a lot. Prices could go to $500K and it'd be worth it. Everyone knows this implicitly. That's why immigrant parents nail their kids so hard on grades and to get into a good school. Is it because they want their kids to get a bunch of debt and become unemployed? Come on. You are way way more likely to get a job with benefits, to spend your life doing something more meaningful (however you want to define it).

It's only us who already went to college, got good careers, who are now saying "well college makes you end up in debt, jobless, with a worthless degree. go into the trades. work for the post office." Why don't more people on Hacker News go into trades? Do some unpleasant, strenuous work in dangerous conditions, for about 10 years hustling day and night before your body gives out for $50K/year? Everyone actually doing a trade is encouraging their kids to go to college.

This really isn't that complicated, and I think most people here are overthinking things. A college degree GREATLY greatly increases the chance you're going to have a more fulfilling career easily that makes you back all the tuition money and opportunity costs, and more.

What is TailwindCSS?
Yes, I agree. I was lucky, but many people get screwed in divorce. Both women and men. Men because, as in your case, they get penalized financially.

But it's important to remember that laws and legal precedent about support for former female partners came about because women often got screwed financially in divorce. Even if they could even get a divorce.

And sometimes women still get screwed financially, and in other ways, by divorce. Child support is sometimes inadequate, or effectively not collectable. And women traditionally contributed unpaid labor, in the form of housework and childcare. And often, they were (and even now, sometimes are) more-or-less unprepared for decent jobs.

Anyway, based on other comments, a key argument in favor of marriage, for long-term relationships, is clarification of intentions. That's especially crucial, obviously, if there will be children. Without a marriage, it's all subject to litigation. And if partners have resources that they want to protect, they can negotiate a prenup.

Hi, snvzz:

0) You sound quite narrow minded.

1) The Internet is for everyone, not yours.

2) Like it or not, the "local Internet" / "sub-Internet" configuration enabled by EzIP can be deployed by anyone where there is the need. Each will appear like a simple IoT to the overall Internet. This is most likely why the high level people have not tried shoot at it yet.

3) "EzIP would be damaging to IPv6 adoption ...": What is so noble about IPv6? Frequently, Internet people proudly state that "three years is too long for Internet product cycles". Here we are, the IPv6 has been in development more than two decades, and in deployment near ten years. Hasn't it had its fair time to "experiment" the "idea from scratch"? Why are you so protective of it?

Hello New Jersey? :)

I worry there's a sampling bias going on.

When I commuted to work, I'd keep the same tight pattern everyone else used, and it felt like any time I let up, some jerk would take advantage.

Then, for a while, I was suddenly paid to go between buildings on opposite sides of one of the worst traffic cities in the US. I always left with plenty of time and no urgency, so I would just stubbornly maintain plenty of stopping distance while everyone else was inches apart. Smoothing my braking pattern became a game.

If you constantly leave that much room people weaving in becomes rare enough that you barely care when it happens.

I feel like there's some bias affecting perception. Maybe it's a confound, or availability heuristic.

Confound - if you're trying to hug a bumper, and suddenly there's a gap, maybe that's because your lane is suddenly moving faster and someone's taking advantage of that. If you always have space, you'll have it even when your lane is less attractive. (ie, The space doesn't make your lane attractive, the pace does.)

Availability heuristic - if you care about people cutting you off and are adopting a strategy to prevent it, you will notice it more and put more weight on those occurrences than on all the seconds where no one is cutting you off.

Before I had that job, I would have read this comment and thought it was nuts though, so not sure if anyone will actually believe me.
True. I hesitated to use that as an example because of the potential for confusion—but to clarify, I just meant that the motor skills are an example of another thing being involved beyond a clear representation somewhere, not that they are actually the limiting factor for reproducing the drawing.

A more realistic problem in the case of the bicycle drawing has to do with the procedural knowledge they use for drawing. For instance, maybe they approach it analytically, top-down, breaking it into major components to draw first, and those into sub components. Well, in order to do that, they need explicit knowledge of that hierarchy; they may have an accurate representation of the image somewhere, but they can't bring it directly into consciousness, and they didn't break it into that hierarchy while they had it around. So now what's left to them is to attempt to produce the hierarchy from an imperfectly recalled image, which leads to the strange configurations.

Just a guess—but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it's something on those lines.
