Yes, obviously anytime you get something for free that's a convenience. Someone has to pay for that though and that person is not experiencing freedom.

I don't know much about the German healthcare system but it's quite possible that you also don't have as many choices for healthcare as in the US due to increased governmental regulation.

I'd also add that healthcare is one of the least free aspects of US culture especially post-ACA. We are now mandated to have insurance, even if we don't want it.
I still do quite a bit of Java work. Nowadays, most high-concurrency Java apps use async tools like Vert.x [1], not explicit mutexes & semaphores. In that respect, modern Java is not that dissimilar from core.async, etc.

How does increased productivity factor into that term? Seems it's not a like for like comparison if productivity is increasing YoY.
It's not 'reading in to it' so much as relaying the gist of a conversation I had with someone fairly high up in the browser team who was privy to the decision making process. I specifically asked about FF and he gave some of the main internal back and forth arguments (though I've certainly distilled it down!)

> it's that I believe the idea of slapping an "ethical" label on a product as a guide to users is antithetical to the goal of having users apply ethical considerations when deciding which software to use.

I think I disagree. In my experience, people choose software based on what's easiest. I'm continually amazed by how little effort even professionals are willing to put in to their technology choices. In fact, I've never met a single human in real life (i.e. in-person) that considers ethics at all when selecting software. They choose things based on the path of least resistance, what other people are doing around them, what they can make work with the least effort, and what they think looks 'cool', and what they think will help them build skills for future job searches, but never ethics.

Because of this, when _anyone_ comes along and says "Hey, I made a list of ethical software alternatives!" my curiosity is instantly piqued. Ignoring whatever their definition of ethical is, the fact that they took the time to even make a list and publish it is enough for me to take the time and look through the list, giving me the chance to apply my own ethical considerations to each product in the list. Ultimately, when discussing ethics, I think I have to make my own decisions anyway.
The Google Next Keynote (where this was just announced) is emphasizing the multicloud/cloud agnostic/on-prem capabilities, which given the emphasis on cloud lock-in nowadays is not what I expected.
FYI - thread from yesterday around the docs and concept: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19610830

This appears to be the accompanying blog post. So, not a dupe and explains the higher level goal here. The post from yesterday, was before the product was actually publicly released, if that gives more context as to why this is new news.
I love how you didn't even notice that quote was doctored, which is my point entirely.
Really surprised the sentiment towards blockchain is so positive. Just goes to show how much of an echo chamber HN can be.
car dealerships are a horrible example because they're a cartel that only exist to keep a non-essential industry in business. Tesla had a hell of a time getting around this regulatory capture.

Lofty objectives, but how practical? How can you tell if it's biased, especially when weighed against human systems where bias is a matter of argument? Not to mention that some biases are desired by some jurisdictions.

To my eye, Fallout New Vegas, had some of the most immersive open world experience. Walking alone through the streats, or even in the scrub lands late in the night, it almost feels if you are really there.

Sometimes, rarely, you can get a similar vibe from Witcher 3 as well, but that game is a chore to play.

But the configuration needs to come from somewhere, like existing netlify config?

I noticed that one of the features mentioned is this --

> Netlify Dev automatically detects common tools like Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, React Static, Eleventy, and more, providing a zero-config setup for your local dev server.

If your framework supported by netlify, just plop the projects with no configuration.

I found one or two Python projects supported by netlify -- https://www.netlify.com/tags/python/

It looks like Netlify caters to frontend development, as far as backend, mostly static site generators supported.

I would try this out for Vue.js
I never said the article was bad. I said the title was bad and specifically addressed the complaint in the title which brought me to the article in the first place.
Not the OP, and our stacks/reasons are probably different, but for perspective, I work on a large Canadian Federal Government project, and a minor change in Java version on severs for our legacy application, is probably... 1-2 months elapsed time, minimum. And that's if we get the change approved.
Mostly it's the slow and manual change management practices, slow and manual approval framework, slow and manual testing approach, slow and manual implementation procedures, and other things that are slow and manual.

More punitive OT laws help discourage this kind of behavior. You'd seek out more experienced workers if it meant avoiding the huge salaries you'd otherwise be paying younger workers working large swaths of OT.
He’s talking about sales organizations. He doesn’t care about “technologists” because they don’t make purchasing decisions in most enterprises. He wants to sell more Google Cloud into enterprises.

This is something where Microsoft has done well because it’s always done this and wasn’t too late into cloud. It’s an area Oracle have done well pre-cloud and are late to cloud but hoping like hell to bank on their strong enterprise sales capabilities (doesn’t seem to be working for them though). And it seems to be an area that Amazon have done well due to early mover, being dominant, and with that focusing on building enterprise sales.

Google... I don’t know what they’re doing, they’ve never been an enterprise software company. So he may be into something.

Sure if you doing unit-tests/one function that works.

But as far as I know, unit tests aren't the place to be in terms of serverless testing.

Integration and E2E tests are much more important and that's where the whole "run locally" stuff breaks down rather quickly.

Your freedom to move your fist ends at the tip of my nose. Climate change is hurting many worldwide, and it will get worse base on all available evidence. You are massively cutting the most basic of freedoms (food, water, and livelihood) by not fixing it.

You aren't allowed to drive drunk because it hurts others, and that's not authoritarianism. It's simply not allowing someone to harm others, just as climate change is doing to many.
Forklifts were a highlight for me.

When you took Ryu to the arcade to play Space Harrier etc there's a well-established if indirect teasing of the fourth wall. After spending in-game money to beat your in-game (in-game) high score, you begin to ask yourself what on earth you are doing.

When Ryu gets the job as the forklift driver this same question leads directly to a beautifully uncomfortable awareness of your self, and of your quest, and of Ryu's.

I don't like the way this writer put it, but the forklifts were at least evolutionary.

They follow a path set by some early 80s job-simulator games[1], but perhaps most memorably by 1995's unreleased Desert Bus by Penn & Teller for the 3DO [2].

You were either typing in mostly game code (with a simple BASIC HEX ML loader), or were using a machine with a limited form of BASIC that didn't allow for easy graphics manipulation (the C=64 and VIC-20 were famous in this regard).

While I recall doing the same on my machine (TRS-80 Color Computer) - it was usually to get functionality that was lacking otherwise. I recall having to type a ton of DATA statements for an ML program that would give you simultaneous graphics and text on screen, like it was a native mode. Then there was another program (called "Bells and Whistles") that was essentially a 4-track music editor, similar to 90s era "tracker" programs; you could define simple waveforms as different "instruments", then build your music in a note-by-note "tracker" style - except the tracks ran left-to-right, not top-to-bottom! It would then output the music and show the notes playing (scrolling) - four channel, 6 bit music, with user-defined waveforms and envelopes. Truely amazing at the time!

Especially considering the TRS-80 CoCo did -not- have a sound chip. It was all done by the CPU and a 6-bit DAC (which was also used by the cassette tape interface for storage, as well in a convoluted manner by the joysticks).
I use netlify for about 6 out of 7 sites I manage for myself and family. The last one I have on linode purely out of laziness.

I don't understand this obsession with attempting to force the idea that men and women are/should be interchangeable. Isn't there something interesting about us being different? I know it's a different issue, but this is one of the reasons I think it will be a shame if we have mass immigration and no borders - the rich differences between us will dissolve into one globalised, corporatised, undifferentiable and utterly debased culture. If (as lots of politicians proclaim vociferously and in a suspiciously coordinated manner) diversity is truly our greatest strength why not do something to defend it instead of encouraging its destruction?

Who benefits from this dislocation of social and cultural bonds? Certainly not the mass of the population, I would venture.

I recently was talking to a libertarian friend about this kind of thing (specifically the gender wage gap). He argued that if there were a group of people getting paid less for the same work, then any good business would only hire people like that, because it's cheaper.

Obviously this isn't the case, but I do find it curious that the market doesn't seem to prove a strong enough incentive for the people making hiring decisions to overcome their biases.

I was already in a technical field, was laid off after a company buyout, I changed careers and took a coding bootcamp.

A few like minded classmates and I would compare notes after we did interviews.

The other two older guys and I got a lot of "culture" related questions. One dude was actually told by the recruiter that they were worried he was too old, he was surprised they'd actually say it to him so he asked ... and the recruiter repeated herself happily.

Meanwhile the younger classmates reported hearing nothing about "company culture" in any of their interviews...

The description of culture was often pretty benign ("we like to have fun" and so forth) but I couldn't help but wonder if it wasn't just a placeholder for some bias. On one occasion I got a description of "we're a young office".

I watched the example videos and I found it to be well-written and narrated, probably by professional voice actor. While I had my doubt, after watching the video, I found it much better in quality than those found in Youtube. I might recommend it to people who are not technical savvy. What I'd like to see is to be able to know which video I have completed, and also after watching certain sets, get a certificate of completion.
Because functions are small self-contained stateless bits of code, they don't need much testing by themselves.

You need to test them with the services they are using and replicating your whole cloud infrastructure locally is nearly impossible.

These are non-issues in the long-term:

> cost

All currencies have an acquisition cost, usually in the low percents. Bitcoin is actually on the cheaper end these days at around 10-25 bps.

> volatility

Prices of things are reflections of the aggregate opinions of those things by everyone in the market. When prices are volatile, that means people's opinions of those things are volatile. And that's because those things have a lot of unknowns associated with them. As time goes on, and society observes the thing more and how it behaves in different circumstances, the better people will be able to predict the effect of future events, and the lower the volatility will be. In a thousand years, for example, when almost any possible event that could have happened to Bitcoin has happened, volatility could be near 0, and price will probably appreciate predictably with population growth.
Seems odd to include Burning Man - if you go there expecting it to be a music festival like the rest of these, you're likely to have a bad time. I mean, yes, it does so happen that a lot of people bring mini-festivals to share as art projects, but that's not what the event itself is about.

I really like this. Reminds me of the difference between analog and digital watches: the former gives you a "fuzzy" time, but also a more visceral understanding of how "close" one time is to another. Maximum precision can be useful, but it also feels unnatural, more appropriate for machines than humans. It's important to remember that accuracy and precision are not the same thing!

I wouldn't put any stake in this survey as any sort of representation of the field in any way whatsoever. The people with SO accounts who even are even aware that SO is conducting a survey is so self-selecting that its in zero way any sort of representation of the industry as a whole.

For example, in SO's survey 80% of respondents say they code as a hobby. If this survey was not self selecting I'd bet the farm that it would be the reverse - 80% didn't code as a hobby.

I don't think any of the restrictions you mention should be called authoritarian. Nations and the world have made many things illegal in the name of the common good before, e.g. child labor, slavery and leaded gasoline: Taking away someone's "freedom" to poison society and nature with leaded gasoline is really _giving_ the freedom to live a healthy life back to everyone else.

All of the problems you have mentioned are solvable. And I think people's attitude towards environmental restrictions will change much more rapidly than you'd expect: https://www.positive.news/society/must-change-always-be-slow...
