We actually have a law in Denmark which holds news publications accountable for what they print, meaning that their editorial staff could go to prison if it can be proven that they knowingly misinformed.

In general I prefer to pay people to do my editorial audit for me. I go a step further though, I subscribe to a physical news paper that only comes out once a week, because by doing so, I also filter out all the things that weren’t important enough to make it into the single weekly print. I do sometimes turn to public service for a quick view of the daily news, and when something major happens. I used to read free internet news, but I was really dissatisfied with it, turns out you get what you pay for, and filtering out 90% of the bullshit has improved my outlook immensely.

When I chose my news paper I did some research on which Danish papers were considered the highest quality, and a few came up. Then I bought one of each for a few weeks and found the one I liked the best. That was Weekend Avisen. It contains a lot of stuff on culture, which I often skip, but it’s articles on news and the political scene are great. What it does that a lot of news media doesn’t, aside from filtering a lot of the day to day nonsense, is respect the fact that things are never black and white, and it handles this intelligently.

I’m extremely skeptic about things that are user audited. You can find a lot of good user driven content on the internet, but it’s often a little misleading even when it doesn’t intend to be. HN is a great example of this. The content here, on things like which programming languages are hot, is so far from the real world, at least the one I live in, it’s silly. We have so many topics about things like Rust or Go, but when I look at the Danish job-market there is literally just one listing for Rust, and that’s for a c/c++ job at Google where it’s listed as “nice but not necessary”. HN is still the best and most relevant place for tech-news, but I kind of wish there was a NYT for tech, where a real editorial staff would weed out all the medium bullshit. Because it’s really kind of a waste of our time when we all have to do it, and that’s probably why people turn to the comment sections before they read the articles, we want people to audit our content. I just go a step further, because I want trained and accountable professionals, not anonymous people to do it for me.
That's not people abusing the syntax, that's the syntax being intertwined with the semantics. Mind you, a similar thing can pop up in a language like C#, it just happens less often.
In this case wouldn't the name of a contract be enough?

Or, perhaps, not enough, but informative to the same degree?
I don't hate anybody, I didn't need some crank who talks about omniscience to help me realize that.

From a cosmological standpoint, of course one can argue that nobody has a free will and that nobody is ultimately responsible for anything.

For practical purposes, this is a pretty useless insight. In practical terms, the people that cut you off in traffic for no good reason are what we humans call "assholes" (or similar). We sanction this behavior so that we can work better as a society. There's a purpose for you to get upset about such behavior. It is directly connected to your instinct for survival, your will to live.

Yes, sometimes your will to live makes you suffer. That doesn't mean killing off that will is "enlightened", or that the people who "tune out" are to be revered for it. You're rebranding a thinly veiled "sour grapes attitude" into a virtue.

> You treat people completely differently, you become kinder, more courteous, less hateful, and more patient, at larger scale animosity and hostility between peoples decreases to zero and world / universal peace is achieved.

This is a foolish belief. If there is no such thing as an "asshole", there is no such thing as "murderer". Remember, nobody is responsible for anything. It's all just part of the cosmic ballet! That's how Zen Buddhism helped the Japanese commit all those atrocities:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_at_War

Remember, not everyone actually buys into this philosophy, by their nature. Your brand of philosophy is one of weakness, of little resistance. It doesn't have the "tools" for survival on its own and it's easily exploited.
The US sanctions and the effect on Huawei just made it very easy for Chinese companies to justify expenses that increase technological independence, on all levels (not only hardware).

How coupled is your code to your host? You should always design to lift-and-shift between these as easily as possible. That way you keep the benefits and aren't locked in.

Cloud functions products have been incredibly useful trade off for me. Whenever I want to process a lot of small files (read: tens or hundreds of thousands), I'll wrap some JavaScript into a function and it'll magically horizontally scale a function for a huge amount of tasks at the same time.

A company I know writes software for small banks and telcos (which means no cloud) and has decided to switch to a Microservices architecture and all deployment concerns of clients were waved away with "Kubernetes takes care of it". Now the poor IT teams will have to learn K8s really quickly, and my guess is that they will fall back to Docker on VMs with compose as it simpler - Kubernetes is much more complicated to deploy than the 20 containers that the clients actually care about. But the IT teams of these clients they are not going to be happy over the whole ordeal.

When stories like this seems to me like a huge indication that K8s is at the top of the hype cycle. It only is suitable for maybe 5% of on-premise IT organizations, and the cloud is not for everyone (fortunately and unfortunately).
By "the cost savings have been passed on to the customer", do you mean that a) self-checkout has caused the customer to pay more for groceries, or that b) the cost of groceries has remained the same (or decreased), but now the store makes extra profits from it because they don't have to pay as many clerks?

If b) then we're back to where I started: you might as well complain about the discount on Swiss cheese. You don't pay more for youg goods, you may even pay less- but the store is making more money anyway.

I won't say "where is the harm in that" because there is certainly harm to the clerks- but that is a separate issue from the extreme stretching of reason to justify shoplifting in the passage I commented on.
What Is the Future of Container Image Building?
That makes yours all the more important. Thank you.
I’ve seen AWS from inside and I helped build a small part of it. Each individual product is closer to a monolith than a constellation of indispensably deployable jobs/services. The 3 products I worked on were definitely monoliths because we intentionally wanted them to be so. Obviously I don’t mean that they didn’t horizontally scale. Only that the entire app could run from 1 process, the build system produced 1 build artifact, every deployment deploys to all server, and there’s only 1 version of the app running in prod.

They're first to embrace technology, because digital money is money that can be tracked. So the tax "take" will be higher with digital money than with cash. High tax countries have all the incentives to go digital as soon as possible.
Nowhere did I say the conduct of the big tech companies is anything resembling perfect, nor that the regulation of them is perfect.

The point was that none of this justifies property theft from other big companies, and that we all learned this as children.

But sure, petty theft can be a powerful form of protest I guess, so if that's important to you, knock yourself out.

Without giving specific advice, here are some things to keep in mind:

- the same principles apply regardless of the market, you can just pick European equity or bond funds and add them to your portfolio (as long as they're available on your investing platform)

- you don't have to limit your portfolio to US and/or Europe, you can invest internationally

- historically the European markets have performed worse than the US. That won't necessarily continue in the future but keep in mind that you're making a similar assumption (that the future will be similar to the past) when you expect a 6-7% return from American funds.

- many of the the big US companies are international anyway - for example when you buy Apple stock, even though you're investing in an American company, you're betting on Apple's performance everywhere in the world including in Europe

- investing in companies that are traded in a different currency adds another moving part to the machine; you can be hurt or benefit from the movement of the exchange rates in addition to the stock/bond price fluctuations

> Is this really already an industry trend?

Probably not, or not yet.

> It feels more like some parties experimenting with the platform, not necessarily with intentions to move to it wholesale at any point in the future.

Some big players are moving / have moved to it already. Western Digital is already replacing its ARM HDD controllers with RISC-V chips, nvidia is replacing some chips in their GPUs with RISC-V chips, etc. These are all shipping products.

If you need a chip to do something relatively simple and low cost, you are probably already better off with RISC-V today than you are with ARM mainly because its cheaper and has no licensing issues.

I don't know of any big player doing anything complex with RISC-V yet. There is no bit manipulation ISA, no vector ISA, no encryption ISA, ... and many other things that you would need for a general purpose SoC that's not only cheap but also competitive in performance and TDP with ARM.

When Mr. Robot Is Your Boss: Working Under Algorithms
The article criticizes the abuse of background-image as a cheapass replacement for the img or picture tags that should be used for "content images".

It's not a controversial point of view: background-image has always been intended to be purely ornamental (for cases in which background-color doesn't look good enough) and there's no reason to worry about "semantic" features like alt text (a blind or text-only user doesn't care for how the page background is painted).

What perverted line of thought led to the apparently widespread abuse of background-image for content?
CSS sprites, as suggested in other comments, are a significant hack that might have set an example but true content (rather than icons) in background-image is on a different level and requires additional explanation.
I don't know which part of Europe you're referring to, but I've used self checkout machines in both Poland and the UK and pretty much all of them always accept cash. There's no issue with anonymous purchases using self checkout machines at all.
Laravel Vapor – Serverless PHP Platform
That’s the second part of the story for me. From 2000 until last year, all of my development and deployments have been on Windows.

I just started developing with .Net Core, Node, and Python last year. My “Linux deployments” were all Lambda. The Node/Express app used the lambda proxy integration.

I needed to move past the lambda limitations - 6MB request body and cold starts - and I didn’t want to introduce Linux servers into a Windows shop or host Node on a Windows server and I didn’t know Linux well enough myself. I was able to deploy a Linux Docker Container on Fargate and have all of the console output to go to Cloudwatch.

Ask HN: Introduction to Psychology?
Dear community,

I've recently become interested in psychology. Do you have any recommendations for starters? I doesn't really matter if it is books, podcasts, websites or documentaries.

Thanks in advance!
Thanks for writing and explaining all of that! I’m sure one way or another there’s a workaround for everything. But my point was exactly that. The fact that you need workarounds hinders agility. I don’t disagree with the benefits.

BTW, about this “What happens when you got millions of connections at once (think slither.io scale)? At the end of the day you have to put it into something that can scale.”

API Gateway has a hard limit of 500 WebSocket connections per second. It can’t be increased! https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide... —- That’s about the capacity of 1 C5.4XL instance :)

The whole scalability argument of API Gateway and Lambda is highly overrated IMO. There are all sorts of soft and hard limits, and you still have to monitor utilization of concurrency rate and invocation frequency and manually request limit increases when approaching them. Doesn’t sound much different than using EC2.
You supposedly craving two pizzas rather than just pizza sounds like nonsense to me. It is far too specific to be a craving, if anything it sounds more like a habit to me.

Looks like we're starting to see k8s slide down the slope in the typical "hype cycle", in the way we've seen Docker do so over the last 12-18 months.

It'll be interesting to see how well it weathers this part of the cycle and comes out the other side.

For me k8s is useful but overhyped, leading to many companies making use of it when it really wasn't needed (I've seen k8s cluster deployed for single applications !?!)

It has a lot of complexity (far more than just Docker/Docker-compose style stacks) which are only likely to make sense at scale.

The thing that makes me thing k8s will suffer, is that complexity is increasing not reducing. Things like adding service mesh layer, use of operators, CRD etc are all additional complication on top of what is a moderately complex product.

> Extremely unlikely. The beauty about RISC-V is that it's open source and royalty free

The other beauty is that you can extend the ISA with whatever proprietary instructions you want. Others develop 99% of the ISA for you, and you focus on the 1% that differentiates your product.

I'm not sure if the ARM licenses allows them to extend the ISA with "Apple-only" instructions, but RISC-V does and it allows Apple for more vendor lock-in. E.g. you can't use a Hackintosh anymore without buying a CPU directly from Apple.
Git is already checksumming the images. This utility is for looking at the actual changes in case the checksums differ.
My experience with people on drugs is that their ability to make a correct judgement in any situation diminishes drastically.

For example, many of my friends would see cops everywhere after smoking weed (edit: secret cops, in civilian clothes. See how well they hide among us?). Another friend would always misplace her stuff, then start suspecting whoever was with her of stealing them (e.g. she would think I stole her baccy, though I don't smoke, etc).

A friend of mine who was a heroin addict (and died of it at the ripe old age of 34) used to tell me how heroine makes you sociable and friendly, but my experience was that when he shot, he would just fall asleep and then be too smashed to be anything like sociable. But in his head he was the soul of the party.

I've also known a fair few people who developed some kind of paranoid delusion most likely as a result of doing too many drugs. For example, I had a friend who thought one of his pals' brother was a hitman sent by the secret services to kill him. When he was sober, he was OK, most of the time, but when he was under- you couldn't make sense of him.

I mean, let's face it. You don't take drugs because they make you smarter.
Your posting in this thread and particularly this comment is well-reasoned, civil, and on target, and I think it's a shame you're being censored. If you (or any bystanders of similar mind) email the address in my profile, I will reach out with an invitation to a forum for hard-skinned rationalists if/when I get around to creating it. Cheers.
I went through this recently. It's such a PITA. I ended up with physical copies in 3 different places because all of a sudden redundancy is a reality.
I like the sound of how you have that set up, do you know any good open source repositories that are designed the way you describe that I could look at for learning purposes?

(I mean, projects that set up containers for backend, database, and front-end servers and push them to digitalocean etc.. I can imagine how each piece works, but I'd love to see how a coherent and manageable project in that style is organized as a whole.)

I'd assume people just aren't as prone to collecting unnecessary stuff. My guess is that most of the things in self-storage are junk that people should not store, but have hard time letting go. It'd be less of a mental and financial burden to sell or dispose of all that.

Not saying that there aren't valid use cases, but I personally don't know a single person who is using one.

I don't think is good advice in general. OP is obviously used to doing things in a certain way and good for him for working the way he is most productive. But looking at things objectively, everything has a learning a curve and once you get past that, Lambda is way more efficient even when working alone due to the agility it allows and time saved on maintenance.

Obviously society would be better with more winners, but what we need to aim for is equal opportunities not equal outcome.

As for modern society, there are many ways to view what is important and in what way. Questions like who is benefiting the most from these new masculinity rules (toxic masculinity, etc) posed on men has multiple answers.

Being mentally strong is not exclusive with being physically strong. In fact both should enhance one another. You should educate yourself on how to best take care and enhance your body and in return you get better functionality which enhances your mental capabilities.

How to Be a Better Writer
More worrying, imagine if a city has some major economic downturn. A factory closes, an industry moves offshore, whatever.

House prices in that city go down, not everyone pays their rates, and everyone is looking to the local government to keep the economy ticking along while they wait for new businesses to take advantage of falling wages.

However, the local government bank has just written off a bunch of bad loans so the local government's credit rating has fallen off a cliff.
