>I don't see how Ubuntu is any less complicated than say, Fedora.

You mean the distro that coudn't even play an mp3 out of the box? Jeez, I don't know how non-tech people could see this as more complicated...
Separation of concerns is important, but how much separation do you need? Separate classes, definitely. Separate libraries...often. Completely separate services on different VMs with an api between them...if that is really what your situation requires, then sure, but I wouldn't make it the default option.

The mistake is when people think a buzzword is the new best practice without doing real analysis.
Sorry, this would never work. Maybe if Apple launched this so that you had already overcome chicken and the egg. But I’d never ever sign up for this as a podcaster (or any kind of audience builder) unless there was literally no other choice because that’s where ALL the listeners are. Even then, I’d probably just do something else rather than allow some sleazy middle-man to screw me over while trying to connect with my fans.

You’re totally missing the point that podcasts are pull, not push. I listen to dozens of them, none of them have ever “spammed” me. That literally makes no sense. I subscribed to them. There’s no way for them to push their podcast on someone who doesn’t want it.
Yep, that's what I did. Sad, though. Role was perfect. :(
Implying that the hygiene hypothesis is a fact is clearly false.
A parallel OR will terminate even if one of the subclauses does not terminate, whereas sequential OR might not terminate in this case. So if you define an algorithm as a computation that terminates, parallel OR cannot be fully emulated by sequential OR.

The problem is that, as far as I know, sequential algorithms form a uniform class, because e.g. equivalence between different sequential models like Turing machines and the untyped lambda calculus can be proved. AFAIK, this is not possible for parallel models of computation, there are different models of them with different expressivity. (I'm not an expert on that, so take this with a grain of salt and please correct me if I'm wrong!)

> their attempt to use their desktop presence to push Ubuntu-specific technologies like Mir, Unity, and Snap.

Snap was here before flatpack, what should a company like Canonical do if they want to try something new? Use planted developers in GNOME or other projects to push projects as dependencies into all distributions?

If you do not like Canonical do not use their products, use other distro or BSD.
Unity was a nice attempt to get a simple desktop that is not a slave of GNOME designers ideas, unfortunately it fails but I do not understand why people like you are against of options (only if the option is from Canonical) even if Canonical always tried to support all the DEs.
I'd be very surprised is they didn't too. But Spectre isn't just about what's in cache, you have to load secret data and then do another load with a location based on that secret data before the the mis-predicted branch is caught. The number of clock cycles from branch prediction to branch resolution on the Mill is just too short for you to do all of that, just like it is on most in order architectures. Just loading the secret data into cache isn't enough to be a problem. You already knew its address if the attack is going to work.

I've worked as both a hardware & software engineer. I've generally found that people who make statements like the above, don't really have proficiency across all the layers from silicon to code. Heck, there are probably a few layers that they aren't even aware exist. And yet, despite this "gaping" hole in their knowledge, it barely hinders their productivity at all.

Software, and life in general, is an exercise in abstraction. How do you effectively use abstractions that others have used, without knowing how they really work. How do you figure out which sub-abstractions and intricacies you can safely overlook, because they aren't relevant to your current priorities. And how do you shortlist the ones that you do have to care about, because they have a big impact on your project's success. These are the key skills that effective engineers possess. Trying to avoid the above problems by brute-force learning everything, is going to get you stuck in a quagmire.

Heinlein was full of contradictions. Look at the built-in furniture: there's no way to change it if you discover it doesn't work for you, other than by ripping it out and redoing the walls.

Ask HN: Dramatic decrease in AirBnb support quality?
I have been using AirBnb nearly since the beginning and I've always thought it was a great service.

In particular, the support always seemed fast, responsive, and on top of any scams that started to arise.

Until about... maybe this summer.

Has anyone else noticed this?

...

If anyone is interested in the details of a particular bad experience:

I booked a listing that had all of the features I needed, in the neighborhood I wanted. Great!

But when I arrived, the host provided check-in instructions to a completely different unit. I didn't even notice this at first - it was late at night and I was just happy to get myself and my 3-year old checked in.

The next day, I messaged the host and asked if there had been a mistake. The host said that they needed another day to get back to me.

When they did, they informed me that my unit was not available. So, I asked for a refund. From the AirBnb guidelines:

"our Guest Refund Policy will make sure you either get the listing you booked or receive a refund."

...so I opened a support request, left the unit, and booked a different AirBnb, for which I paid full price.

I assumed I was going to get a full refund.

Instead, I had a back-and-forth for quite a long time with AirBnb support to explain the situation (it seems that they weren't carefully reading the messages between myself and the host) and at the end of it, their "final decision" was that I had to pay for three nights (remember: I only stayed two nights, and never even set foot in the actual listing) plus the AirBnb fees - in total, for two nights at a hugely downgraded listing, I paid more than half of my original week-long price.

Prior to this, I had had a couple of other small hiccups (confusion with support, taking a long time to respond, etc) but things had always eventually been smoothed out. This is the first time I've ever been wholesale scammed out of hundreds of dollars.

I imagine I'm not alone here?
First Proof That Quantum Computers Are More Powerful Than Classical Computers
This mechanism reinforces the societal norms that created it, like many others. If the Irish didn't intensely oppose police brutality, more brutes would enter the police force, leading to higher incentives for brutes to join the force. It looks like a self-amplifying loop but it works towards society's demands.
Yes, and that has a cost.

Hence, the downward distribution of negative impacts.
As a lead you have to care about retention as well. People leave jobs when they feel like they are professionally stagnating (or worse, they stay), because for a software career, stagnation is death and everyone knows it. And high turnover will wreck your ability to deliver.

So, you have to strike a balance between getting stuff done and taking care of your people in terms of professional development and growth.

It's ok, most organizations fail at it. The "90% of everything is crap" rule applies to managers as well.

The Never-Ending Performance Review

This sounds sanctimonious and rife with the exact same inexperience and overly brittle purist attitudes you are criticizing.

It really is true that huge monolith legacy systems might prevent dev teams focused on product growth from even being capable of doing their jobs, let alone meeting aggressive deadlines.

It doesn’t always mean microservices or heavy re-architecture is the right choice, but sometimes it absolutely is.

The places where I’ve seen the most value to pivoting away from existing monoliths often have benefited a lot from microservices.

I was part of a group that split a huge tangled mess of search engine and image processing services in a monorepo into separate smaller web services, and by further separating them into distinct repos per project, we could migrate things to new versions, convert some legacy Java services into Python to take advantage of machine learning tools that fundamentally do not exist in jvm languages, all in more careful, isolated ways that monorepo tooling just simply doesn’t support, and lots of other things that would not have been possible if we tried to steadily change portions while preserving their co-integration in a single large project that attempted to support modularization in ways that were simply just bad.

Your language seems to betray the fact that you personally associate the entire concept of microservices with being intrinsically dogmatic.

Typically only dogmatic people feel that way, in my experience. But either way, there’s nothing inherently dogmatic about a microservices approach.

It seems counterintuitive to believe that a thing you evolved not to do is a thing you can do.

It'd be like training yourself to breathe underwater like a fish.

Or training yourself to molt like a snake.

You're simply not designed with the right hardware for the task, not matter how much "practice" you get. Amazing how people can convince themselves otherwise.
As a rebuttal, you are never really free from getting shot because applying your "freedom of association" to that topic results in so much controversy as to be practically unfeasible.

Back to the topic at hand, this is pitting the aestethic feelings of some versus the right of others to be thrifty and efficient (and green, as line-drying is definitely more environment-friendly than using a machine which pulls 2-5KW of power).
Your taxes are probably more complex than mine, but to counter this with an anecdote: I've been using Self-Assessment Online for years and never had an issue with it.
But now it can play MP3s out of the box. Not that I'd ever suggest Linux to someone who doesn't know what a codec is anyway. Fresh installs with friends/family are always fine, but its after an major version upgrade (or many years of version upgrades) that the system will eventually get into a state where Dad can't debug it. I stopped this recommendation after a family friend (who bought a laptop with Ubuntu) had a system update that overwrote xorg.conf, leaving them completely without a GUI.

ChromeOS is an ideal Linux for users like this. Keep updates atomic and the underlying system completely hidden.
I don't think the fear is necessarily purposeful, malicious intent. I think it's more about accidentally storing something you didn't mean to or accidentally leaking something, with all of the best intents.

He does in fact provide at least one counterexample (around 18:55 in the video).

One is the real-number GCD algorithm; basically the same as Euclid's standard GCD algorithm, but with real numbers. He seems to be arguing that since Turing machines cannot represent real numbers, they cannot compute this algorithm. On the other hand, it can be easily computed with pen and paper, and he gives an example of a ruler-and-compass algorithm for evaluating it.

To me this seems a little wishy-washy; a Turing machine can approximate the problem to an arbitrary degree of precisions, just as a pen-and-paper approach is only capable to executing to a finite degree of approximation. Still, an "idealized" ruler and compass does provide a framework for describing an algorithm which is not directly Turing computable.

Consider this (sort of paraphrasing Yuval Noah Harari).

Nations are abstract. They don't weep. They don't bleed. They don't suffer. Neither do Empires. These are metaphors.

People are subjigated, not nations. They can be equally subjugated by empires or nations, whichever happens to be in charge.

Wherever you happen to live, it's probably a nation state.

There were good and bad things about both. Im not suggesting a return to empires. I am just encouraging people to notice that nationalism and nation states is not The Natural And Eternal Way Of Things. It's a template we squeezed the entire world into over the last 100 years.

One side effect of this has been an end to millennia of multiculturalism, often bloody. Europe needed genocide (eg Jews), mass forced migrations (eg Germany) and forced cultural conversions (eg Netherlands, Belgium..) before they arrived at ethnically homogeneous parcels of land.

Turkey did this too. Genocide for Armenians, forced migration for Greeks, cultural conversions therapy for Kurds and arabs.

Syria & Iraq are dividing into ethnicly homogeneous regions. If your ethnicity (eg yazidi, Greek, aramean..) Is too small for an enclave, you are probably leaving the region or converting.

The ladino speakers of Bosnia are a remnant of the multicultural legacy of the ottoman empire.

PBS has new shows that seem pretty good, like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (cartoon spin-off of Mr. Rogers), Martha Speaks, Word Girl, Dinosaur Train. Others skew more toward the Nick Jr. school of shows, like Wild Krats, Curious George, etc.

Ironically it is kind of hard to find old school Sesame Street on PBS. It's not even really a PBS show anymore; its new episodes air first on HBO, which sends a shiver down my spine just to type.

We don't have cable, but basically never turn on the TV for the kids. All "TV time" for my kids starts with loading PBSKids.org or NickJr on the laptop. The content is all age-appropriate and the sites are navigable by a kid. (NickJr is way better in this regard.)

The only time my kids see YouTube is if I load up a specific video for them--then I close it. You're 100% right that it's not a safe place to let kids surf around.

I'm curious what you mean by this, why it's needed or would be a good thing, etc. As a multi-paradigm language, I'm not seeing why CL should have a particular paradigm "all the way down".
Heh, this is funny.

I was in the exact position as OP and I think wasting time on the internet is bad because:

1. You trust a few sources, and you forget to see hidden bias. HN, Reddit, Facebook, other misc forums.

2. Internet addiction is real, it's a continued feedback loop that creates a dopamine addiction, especially if you lack dopamine in the first place. e.g. ADD/ADHD, like me.

Self improvement is discipline, and I always suggest it --- I wasted a year, and my teenage years just messing around on the Internet. Sure it shaped my life, future into being in IT, but it can be a bad cycle if you don't know how to properly use time management techniques to reduce "wasting time."

Time is valuable.

Setting aside time per day compounds to week/monthly accured time. This can lead to new skills.

OR just knowing the newest gossip.

Learning new skills is good, and OP should do it. Seek experts, in what you want. Network, travel and be friends.

Frittering away on the Internee in an endless loop of content is not the way to do it.

What I was taught is that ancient peoples did not look at history the way we look at it. When I open a book by a modern historian, I assume the book will be about things that actually happened, how they actually happened, why they actually happened, the correct order in which they actually happened, etc. I expect the historian will tell me when there is ambiguity or uncertainty.

Ancient historians would think this is nonsense. The point of writing history is not the events themselves, it is not to get down on paper what actually happened. What kind of idiot would want something like that? No, the point of writing history is to share a message. Often they would draw parallels between two events to explain something. Now they might need to greatly fudge, exaggerate, change the order, etc. of those two events in order to make everything to fit, but that is fine. The actual events that happened is not important, it is the truth (i.e., the point the historian is trying to get across) that is what is important. The events themselves are not the message, the message is served by the telling of the events, even if the telling is not 100% accurate (as we would see it).
Ah, you're right. That's not at all clear without parsing through all the instructions - there should really be a photo of one set up.

last few teams I've worked with, "microservices" has come up multiple times, and in at least 2 cases, parties indicated that this was something they wanted to learn and that was part of the motivation. it wasn't part of the justification for microservices - "scaling" and "uptime" and "robust" were thrown around - but some of the private justification was "I want to learn this stuff". Not saying everyone has that motivation, but it's contributed to my lack of enthusiasm. That and the relatively huge amount of cognitive overhead required for what turns out to be usually relatively benefit.

To be fair, here is a direct quote from the parent:

»In the end, it's absolutely the case that a movement to microservices is something that should be evolutionary, and in direct need to technical requirements.«

I would argue that what you did is exactly that. Perhaps with the caveat that it should have been done earlier.

I'm not reading tha parent arguing that one should stick with a monorepo/monolith until the end of time, but rather providing a few thoughts around what might cause a push in applying microservices incorrectly.

> Business is pressuring tech teams to deliver faster, and they cannot, so they blame current system

And are very often right about it. Delivering monoliths can require such amount of bureaucracy and needless coordination that it slows everything down. I've seen it.

> Inexperienced developers proposing microservices because they think it sounds much more fun than working on the system as it is currently designed.

It doesn't matter who proposes something, if its good idea, do it. And in my experience it is indeed more fun (in addition to other benefits).

> Technology does not solve these problems.

Using microservices is a matter of organisation, it has nothing to do with technology. It is non-technical solution for non-technical problem. Any effect it may have on a technology is secondary to main goal.

> In the end, it's absolutely the case that a movement to microservices is something that should be evolutionary

Nothing you said before contradicts that.

> and in direct need to technical requirements

How people are organized is not a technical requirement.

> For nearly every company out there, a horizontally-scaled monolith will be much simpler to maintain and extend than some web of services,

To maintain, yes. To develop, often not.
