Why is it so hard to understand?

a) re FaaS. Of course if you have an on-prem component, someone needs to take care of it. That's why it's on-prem. But still you can separate administration of that from the developers and have the additional new feature that you as admin don't need to care which software runs in these clusters. (In reality it's never that simple since specific hardware for the task outperforms the standard hardware by more than a margin, but at least you have to worry less about getting from cool-product:v1.0 to cool-product:v2.0 as admin anymore.

b) This dream of cross cloud portability needs to die

Well, you are either a cloud provider or a software/hardware provider that is not a cloud provider. If you are the latter of course you need a way to attack the cloud providers when everybody moves to the cloud. It's a common and traditional idea.

And at least for me it also makes sense to use such a solution. I would always go for Openshift (not working for Red Hat) since they are much better at getting on-prem to work than k8s, and you have the almost same setup and interaction experience throughout all your clouds. I hope so much that they can also find a way to more seemlessly work on arm and ppc now that IBM has bought them. Then it's truly hybrid.

PS: That said I also wouldn't trust any of these quickly assembled hybrid cloud solutions from companies who are not well known for their software achievements. It's probably only the marketing aspect that's driving these efforts and IBM has already shown that they don't trust their own solution themselves even.
Minor detail about theft and the law: in most states you can't shoot a thief. Favoring thieves over their victims is not universal law in the United States.

I have a great example for your "For rifles like ar15s you’re firing bullets that will go through whoever you hit" comment. A young man used his father's AR-15 to kill 3 intruders (2 of them armed) with just 2 bullets. One of the shots did in fact go through the person hit, which turned out to be beneficial. Here you go:

And yes, "all the people in one direction are valid targets" did apply, as it normally would.

I bet you do it on AWS or GCP, right? Try on-prem, then check your headackes again. ;-)
Ask HN: How to remove line breaks when copying texts from somewhere
Do you know any Homebrew packages, PopClip extensions or Alfred workflows that allow me to remove unwanted line breaks instantly?
Why do you link back to this post? Your post has ended up being a one line statement.
In your own head you, it is probably benificial to think there is free will and you have choices.

But besides that, how can you ever believe such a thing without appealing to authority or religion. There cant be any free will; You are fully determined to execute on the given path. But that does not remove any responsibility - your unfree will is still yours just as the concequences, no...

(I mean, your will is determined in part by your gut. Everything you ever ate could tip the balance in some way.)
They're taught to build narratives and stories because it sounds sincere and they think their employees are looking for assurance. In most cases they are probably right on both counts.

It is all bullshit of course, but if you want to earn you have to learn how the game is played.
You didn't pass a function to std::cout, you called it and passed its return value.
That link doesn't support the claim of "1/2M paycheck". L7, the first point at which there's a reported total comp over $1M, is a fairly senior position at Google. If you can walk in at L7, it probably means you've already "made it" somewhere else.
are other countries interested?
1-2M is way above market for a "senior dev." Even for the top companies, that tier is reserved for truly outstanding performers who have launched major projects/innovations.
I did disassemble my Nexus 5 in the hopes of getting it to boot again. (It didn't work.)

In the process, I slashed my finger with the knife-like tiny screwdriver I was using, hurting quite a bit and drawing blood.

I don't consider this to be something I should obviously do with all my phones.
You are technically somewhat correct (one of the better forms of correct) but it feels like criticisms made more for the sake of criticism.

The assumption that train and test distributions are similar has served us phenomenally well. There are indeed cases where they are violated, I grapple with these violations everyday as a part of my job, but I would still claim that approximate equality of test and train covers a substantial volume of potential applications.

When test and train do differ, there are formalisms to deal with that. You could look at transductive learning and transfer learning literature.

Want to mention again that you are not wrong, but that for a large section of applications the distinction that you draw attention to does not matter. When it does matter there are theoretical and practical tools, but of course these are nowhere as mature as the conventional ones.
Many people with kids do what you describe in cities. It's far better for everyone, and even if it's not the superior choice for an individual (though I'd contend it is when you adjust your lifestyle), it is the superior choice for everyone together as it avoids pollution, traffic gridlock and huge fuel inefficiencies.

As it is those with cars push off these negative externalities onto those who choose not to have them, or can't afford them. So your comfort does have a cost, which you don't pay directly.
Is this the kind of thing which has tax consequences?

Interesting thought experiment for a US expat setting up a local corporation: at what step in the process does FATCA actually come into play?
Ah, it seems Zilla Slab is indeed rather wide, though not as spaced-apart as e.g. Verdana, partly due to the slabs (which are an idiosyncratic choice for body text).

In my experience, wide fonts such as Verdana can be tiring in long texts, as the eye has to move more to consume the same words. However, in the case of Zilla, the letters are still close together, so overall the font is barely wider than more traditional serif ones. Note that it's also very well kerned and there are no irregularities in the type. So, the challenge would be to find a wide font that doesn't put letters too far apart and has good kerning. (Zilla itself is free, btw, like other Mozilla fonts, but again slabs are peculiar―it might remind too much of Mozilla sites if used in headings, but may be ok in body text.)

On the other side of the scale, narrower fonts are also ok until a certain point, where they become too dense and are suited only for short inscriptions.

Basically, there's an optimal width, and that's what most fonts use. Large deviations are risky, and you need to make sure that the chosen font works well in other aspects―'blackness' and kerning―or the reading experience will begin to fall apart.

Note that headings are very forgiving in regard to font experimentation, compared to body text―as the reader will glance over them pretty briefly.
"Moving from induced mania to depression, it’s been twenty-four years since Prozac Nation was published; I never read it but practically everyone I know has been on a modern antidepressant Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) like Prozac at one point or another. Do antidepressants help with depression? It’s a touchy subject; they have clearly helped many through periods of depression, saving the lives of some who have struggled with suicidal feelings. One thing I will say is that I prefer my patients not to be on them if possible, or eventually to get off them. True, the lows aren’t as low, but neither are the highs high, and pleasure is limited to some medial zone."

Well, what if the truth is that all these drugs allow us human beings to function better according to how society expects us to (being financially independent for starters)?

I don't use Prozac as anti depression aid. I use Prozac because I have autism, and it makes me less sensitive. I get triggered less therefore it allows me to function better as someone who has autism. I didn't make this assessment myself; people around me told me that I am easier ever since I use it.

Yet in statistics I will count as "SSRI user" and "Prozac user" and "antidepressant user".

I'm very curious how common such off the record subscriptions actually are. Heck, there might even be people who are undiagnosed on the spectrum yet successfully use Prozac (or an other drug).

FWIW, what I very much like about the drug is its high half life. If I forget to take it in the morning, I only start to notion that in the afternoon (and I am sensitive to drugs). The drug has its downsides, for example gotta be careful with alcohol. Then again, only need very little alcohol to notice an effect. It also lowers the fear for needles I have, and therefore I might be able to not use oxazepam if I require a needle injection.
Technology Has Destroyed Reality
spoken like a True Scotsman
Yes, going carnivore led to a massive improvement of my health. I am curious about LLLT, sounds a bit like wishful thinking to me but I'd like to try it out. Where would I get a cheap device to play around with and do you use it like stated in the selfhacked article?
I work in a big corp myself. If you worked on cloud foundry you probably worked with some of my colleagues. ;-) Please don't mention the name though, so I can speak openly.

I see this in my corp every day. Very smart people, super interested in actual feedback, and super interested in really providing great software. But in the end they still fail. I'm not 100% sure about the reasons, but I have a guess.

Usually people who move up the ranks and get into positions where they can make decisions, tend to build relationships with other such people. So more and more they change from "why the hack is dns not working on server-13 anymore?" to "this is the big problem the market has, let's attack that". And slowly that thought croaches in that you should only think about the big picture problems and not worry about the nitty-gritty details of every day getting-things-to-run.

And that's probably the problem. While it's clear that you can't solve all the details and work on big picture problems at the same time, you should not devaluate the details. Great solutions solve big picture problems BY SOLVING THE DETAILS.

That's why K8S for instance is a mediocre solution. Sure they have great big picture ideas, but usually people spend their time with having DNS not working, having servers hanging, having etcd nodes not talking to each other without explaining why, having deployments say "SUCCESS" while actually not running. K8S provides a standardized API for every detail and every use-case, cool. But in the end you need to be an expert in everything to make it run around 50% of the time (outside of AWS and GCP). Nobody really wants to develop on k8s when the underlying platform is only available 50% of the time. And that's the current experience.

So please, if you are one of these people who is really interested in creating great software, consider finding solutions to the detailed low-level problems an important part of the goals and tasks you define. Usually the core low-level problems are not a big amount. For instance with k8s it usually is networking, dynamic storage or security related. Have one person in your team really become an expert in one of these areas (by checking out problems and solutions that exist, not just by making up ppt slides with plans that have nothing to do with the real world) and allow them to influence your task planning.
Some Finnish trains have play-areas for children on them. I was pleasantly surprised the last time I rode a train with my 1.5 year old child. He had a lot of fun going up and down the slide, sitting in the toy-train (on a train!) and reading books in the "library".
Lessons Learned Migrating from Heroku to Kubernetes with Zero Downtime
Funny - I was just yesterday advertised one of these via the Amazon widget on Facebook
I just started with Processing for the first time yesterday and it got me thinking straight away that it'd be good for this sort of thing.

It's super simple to get started with, just a single download gives you a (very basic) "IDE" with loads of examples built in (ranging from very simple to pretty complicated). The other thing is that it's all very visual from the get-go so you can really see what you're doing.
Guess "always" was the wrong word, then.

Ask HN: How to Crowdfund for first-time founder
I am founder of an e-learning social enterprise with a mission to provide early childhood teacher training in Africa. The first eight years of a child's life are decisive for human development, yet statistics on early childhood education in Africa are appalling.

There is a major shortage of quality and affordable preschools in Africa and we believe that one of the challenges is lack of qualified teachers.

We have over 30 teachers who are not qualified but currently teaching in community preschools who are interested to enrol in our ECE diploma course in 2019. Our immediate goal is to raise USD7,800 to launch our trainings early next year.

I am requesting for advise from founders who have successfully raised funds through crowdfunding on how best to run our campaign. You can also contact me directly using dc(at)masteracademies.com
This is a good article, if a little long. I mostly skimmed the sections on specific classes of medications.

There are two quotes that I especially want to 'bookmark' with a comment here. This was on medicating "schizophrenics" with tranquilizers:

"[...] from what I have learned, we are trading more humane treatments for a solution that superficially seems effective, but on closer examination is not helping patients in any long-term way and may actually be killing them."

Robert Whitaker discusses the old "humane" treatments for the mentally ill in his book, Mad in America [0]. The Quakers had "asylums" where patients were kept safe and provided 4 meals a day. Most patients recovered well enough to leave the asylum after a while.

[0] https://books.google.com/books?id=Cw6MlCXhN5MC

This quote alludes to the corruption of the psychiatric diagnostic manual (DSM) to justify the modern mental health industry's medication-centered practices:

"Modern psychopharmacology goes hand in hand with a psychiatric diagnostic system that has, over time, been redefined to rely on medicating symptoms away rather than looking at the structure of the mind and its complex permutations in order to work with a patient in a deeply engaged way over the long haul."

(emphasis added). My recent comment [1] discussed medication strategies that address causes rather than treat symptoms. Very few patients get such rational medication strategies, they just get patent medicines that are FDA-approved to treat their symptoms.

The author's fixation on Freud's body of work is interesting. Certainly there are more current insights that [s]he could have drawn upon.

I highly recommend everyone to read "Perennial Seller" by Ryan Holiday. Really insightful and fun to read book on the same subject that does a much better job of explaining it than this dude.
What is it exactly that we want to save? Bloated browsers so complex that not even MS can keep up with development? Shitty web apps needing obscene amounts of resources and power just to lock you in into web services? Clickbait journalism, a monopolistic attention economy, privacy invasion, surveillance, censorship, influencers, and propaganda?

I guess the conclusion is that the web is only as valuable as the content delivered over it, but has no inherent value of its own, or even a net-negative value. We should salvage valuable content off the web, and take stuff we want to keep elsewhere. We should create new content in a way that isn't locked to the web.

They'd rather make many hundreds of thousands of dollars from enterprise font users. The business is not really designed to be convenient to smaller companies.
I am new to having these symptoms but this is very useful stuff!

I have been taking the peppermint oil tablets from helpforibs.com and they are good for temporary comfort here and there but my gastroenterologist has not recommended the things mentioned here. He has written off probiotics as useless and also downplays dietary adjustments for some reason. It’s really wild. I have found fiber and grains are great for me and eating rice every day is an enormous help.
You can of course say no, but nowadays it's so common that you are unlikely to find someone who would make a deal without it. Basically it goes to show that the people who have the money are the ones who have the power, not the CEOs of start-ups.
Does BigCommerce Use Cookies?
For me, the most off-puting thing about classics is almost the religious veneration with witch some people treat it. It must be talked about as bestest thing by saint perfect person uncriticisable. It is boring, but also does not check out. Often it says something boring and simple, but is still somehow celebrated as words of wisdom. Bad parts are euphemized away with flowery language. Like with slavery (you mentioned it), it is not just that it existed in around independently, it is that the very old ancient text we are talking about is written with purpose to convince contemporaries to be harder on slaves. Same with patriarchy or Sparta militarism or whatever.

I did enjoyed new Odyssey translation lately, but for the love of god cant comprehend all the basic of civilization, immortal wisdom and other similar commentary around it. Why cant I say that parts of it are boring that flowery text of some translations kills even interesting parts? Why do I have to pretend that sirens or meduza part were fun? (They are not, through they are short so no big deal.)

As big as those texts had influence, some of that influence was negative, but that somehow is still presented as good thing, just because old. A bit exaggerated comparison is that if some writing of Gobbels or Hitler remained, people thousands years after might celebrate it as great old writing, chalk militarism and racism and sexism on "culture around". But that is not how it was, those guys texts were dominant because they were active in creating that culture and had awful lot victims.

It is not that I would have moral issue with the above or did not wanted to study it for the above reason. But the way it is mandatory celebrated (at least in teaching I obtained) did not squared to me, did not made sense.
And you can't even bootstrap either in some situations. The basic premise is, if you're not rich you are not free. The good thing about the modern world is that you can choose your owner and switch between them when things go sour.

Same here, as I still haven't found anything with a similar feature set that I can quickly edit images with :(

This is very much personal preference. I would suggest to look at their docs & create something small for both. Plus try out their 'standard frameworks': Nuxt & Next.js.
Last time I saw them they were being used to print pay slips.

Pre-printed slips on continuous feed paper fed into the printers on tracks. The printer then prints the name/amount.

Same thing happens with checks. You can get them on continuous feed paper for dot matrix printers.

FATCA comes into play when you have a bank account and primarily when it has over $10,000 in it

If you dont have a BANK ACCOUNT and with national currency or securities in it, then there is no FATCA

Hm if that wasnt clear, stablecoins/crypto are exempt. Several stablecoins are FDIC insured according to the issuer. Form a US company just to access the international banking system and put a title on rent and pay for a github account. Let your international company just use crypto.
IRC is, and always was a walled garden. yes, IRC servers can be distributed, but they can't be federated. IRC hails from a time of the internet when it was so small that everyone pretty much could trust everyone else. someone who controls one IRC server is more or less able to control the entire network.

if there are IRC servers that can't be trusted, they can't join the network, and hence will form a network of their own. there are dozens of networks out there (hundreds if you include smaller ones), and each one is an island. if i am on a different IRC network than you, then we can not talk to each other.

the only worthwhile improvement of IRC would be to turn it into a federated protocol to rival XMPP or other alternatives. i am not sure that is even possible though, but i wish it is, and i wish that this is where irc.com will be going.

i do look forward to see IRC brought into the modern age.
