I think that in such vision we'd be also slowly marching towards controlled, approved by vaguely described but tolerated by everyone "standards" (political and cultural), DRM-ed safe content from those SuperApps providers. It wouldn't happen fast but that'd be the direction. The remaining classic pages would be forced to transfer themselves into new reality or completely cease to exist. The "alternative private Internet projects" would be outlawed by hands of politicians who'd be open lobbyists of big corporations.

Realistically speaking, we're already one foot, or hell, leg inside the world and times where the Internet belongs to few corporations who are giving us software, services and content and it's nothing surprising that some countries are trying to fight these namely american monopolies with own solutions at the same time blocking by legal means access to what majority of world is using.

I'm currently in the process of porting my 2048 Solver - a few things I've observed:

- Threading isn't currently supported so don't expect great performance from code leveraging go routines.

- CPU heavy code tanks rendering so definitely consider wrapping your WASM logic inside a web worker.

- You may need to pause execution to allow any JS event handlers you've defined to fire.
I don't buy the "real world is complex deal with it" explanation.

Banking (especially in US) is a total complexity nightmare. Yet you have Stripe.com who simplify it.

Your PC operating system complexity and the International Network of computers is so complex you cannot figure it all with your brain alone. Yet you write your email everyday with it and your colleague in China get's it in seconds.

Your supply chain is a nightmare so SAP must be a nightmare to use ? Why ?

Can I ask what the compelling gameplay is of this game, where people spend thousands of hours on it? From a distance it doesn't seem like e.g. a bit persistent world, but more of an arena, short one-off games kinda thing; I find it hard to comprehend you could spend thousands of hours on that.
It is legal to do that. Its the question how tight your app was doing it? If you just send user actions and answers over HTTP back and forth using a technical user, that's like sharing the user. But if you have your own billing software (for example), and submit finished bills with a SOAP request (for example) to SAP, that is completely ok.
The difference is MSG has been heavily studies and the evidence suggest it does not have long term health effects. There are some people that have an allergy to it but the gap between those that truly do and those that claim they do is wide and a lot of that has to do with belief of misinformation. The difference with arsenic in apple seeds is that most people are not eating the seeds, while sea weed is regularly consumed and everyone has a reaction to arsenic whereas only a minority of people have a reaction to the consumption of sea weed.
I didn't mention timelines. My wife and I put two and two together and realized they must have known at least a month before they fired me, and aligned with when they suddenly asked me to document a bunch of things I had built -- and focus on fixing even the smallest bugs in them. Once all that was done, I was fired. Exactly one week before I would have put in my notice.
I think it's very useful to think of Prolog more as a simple database with a very powerful query language, for people who are already familiar with some programming languages and SQL databases. It's a better angle to come at it and understand the unique properties of Logic Programming.
Ask HN: Any Windows SSH manager that comes with a hipster terminal?
Been using MacBooks for the last 7 or so years for both work/home, but just started a new job that is a totally Windows shop as far as workstations/laptops.

I’m not sure yet what I can/can’t install, so I may be relegated to SecureCRT or the like. However, if I’m lucky enough to install things, anyone know of an SSH manager that incorporates a good looking terminal? I just want fast and halfway decent looking. New-fangled Windows 10 hipster stuff is totally fine. I’m down. Just haven’t kept up with the Windows 10 terminal scene since about 2-3 years...

Thanks!

One day, hopefully not soon, Earth may be as inhospitable as Mars. Earth may be really, really uninhabitable within 100 years or so, if we are not careful as a species. We must manage this planet, or it is the end of our time in the universe.

Going to Mars makes a lot of sense to some fairly capable folk. Getting there, and sustaining life, is going to be hard.

But, we will make it easier eventually. I can think of a way we could turn Earth into a recovering paradise, full of natural wonder, and it would definitely involve using Mars to fix it.
I think much of this is person-specific. Try different things and see if you find a few. For example, for me a change of scenery often works well: go to a new place within a few hours' drive, spend a night at a hotel near nice trails, get up late, do a decent hike (say, 4-6 hours), dinner, another night at the hotel, go home.
Expect a new class of companies to spring up overnight that are dedicated to bundling transactions to avoid this new tax. For instance, I could make a single transaction to my broker that covered all of my expected expenditures for the month, and that broker would then disburse it to my payees, bundling it with funds from other payers to avoid the tax on the other end.

I am strongly in favor of a tax on all stock market transactions, though—anything to deter HFT, which IMHO has little societal benefit while externalizing a ton of risk.

It is a petty objection compared to the stakes but ugliness and beauty aren't in isolation. Take a beautiful Mediterranean Villa and plop it down in the middle of a colonial historic district and it will clash despite both being considered beautiful on their own.

By definition new apartments in a less dense area will have to stand out and the transitioning will result in either clashing. The alternative is they do it in a big wave and say buy out a small neighborhood cul de sac and turn them into apartments. It wouldn't clash any more even if they went with something downright garish but the big changes like that also upset people as they find it jarring.

A similar, though less sophisticated, scam has been around in France for over a decade.
They put ads with professional photos on websites with rental offers (the price is good, almost too good to be true but you're desperate for a place to live and think that maybe, just maybe, you got very lucky), talk to you in polite and agreeable manner, offer a visit and then demand a downpayment before the actual visit occurs.
The red flag was that they demanded a scan of ID before the meeting (the landlord cannot ask for it beforehand) and of course the downpayment request. I searched online after that and found out it's been around for a looong time.

chroot, lol. In 2000s FreeBSD already had jails, SunOS had zones. And I remember, to use Linux in early 2000s was very risky and weird.
Unlike sibling comments, I don't think it's a diversity thing. I think it's just an age thing: Adults look different from kids, and as a kid you (and I, I experienced the same thing) were probably almost entirely around other kids in school. Most people recorded are adults, so they looked odd compared to child proportions, but look normal now that you (and I) are mostly around other adults.
Nowadays, creating a raw chroot is far from simple. Last time I tried, I had to handle the special mount points like /proc and /sys. I can't remember the details, but I believe there were other problems.

In my experience, systemd-nspawn provides a nice alternative. It's mainly a chroot that abstracts the low-level details, and it fixes some security concerns (with cgroups, etc) and adds some nice features: e.g. networking, or `systemctl status` from the host that will display the sub-tree for the processes of the sub-host.
> Or a month or 2 gap after every job can indicate they are getting the boot as most people swap one job for another.

That's a bad metric. I have never been fired but have a few months gap between each job. That's how long it takes to get a work visa.

> Things that SHOULD be taken for granted, like being able to create a hyperlink to the bill of materials for any part number-- that's seriously impossible, it's like a freaking moon shot for them (or so they say).

One of pain points I was talking about. I'm not sure how a screen/module is developed in SAP, but there are huge inconsistencies in various interactions I come across. I am inclined to believe that the third party developer of the screen ought to do some wiring to, say enable hyperlinks, or do logical linked screens but somehow the QA is so bad that it's frustrating.

For example, in our company, when I search for a Material code, there is no way / menu / system to automatically list all Purchase Orders, that contain that Material Code, sorted by date / department. I am guessing that the 3rd party developer ought to have built that functionality, but then what would be the point? After so many years in the ERP domain, shouldn't SAP have an automated system to do that?

I usually make Ramen soup about three nights a week. My wife and I never get tired of it because I have several different savory ingredients combinations that I use, but I almost always use a lot of seaweed of various types, dried shiitake mushrooms, and bonita flakes. I also have a few different types of noodles that I use, for variety.

My ramen differs from most recipes because I use about three times the amount of vegetables as cooked Ramen noodles.

Even the broth of Ramen Soup is especially savory, a treat after the noodles and vegetables are all eaten.

Wow, its a little bit crazy how much SAP actually does, but it does seem like it's been around so long and has embedded itself into so much that people just take it for granted that their stuck with it.
I would love to see some case studies of replacing SAP with even an in-house product.

Infact in certain cases I would imagine that an in-house solution with maintenance etc would be more cost efficient.

This is so true! I was on twitter recently and one of the recommended tweets was a factual statement without any source. I was shocked that only maybe 1 or 2 out of hundreds of replies said anything about not being able to confirm the statement. The vast majority of replies were about what the statement did or didn't prove.

If you know anybody who's deeply into facts, evidence, and rational discourse, please point them toward my latest project, https://en.howtruthful.com/ and have them watch the introduction video linked at the bottom of the page. After looking at twitter I'm thinking it will be hard for me to find people like that.
Configuration is still data... If by "to define enumeration cases" you mean lookup tables, they exists to ensure data integrity.
I can answer that one for you having recently taught a semester of postgraduate database systems to a cohort of just 6 students.

It was a blast. I followed a pre-planned course of lectures, but due to the low class sizes it didn't work out that way a lot of the time. An example, following a question about relations, I ended up doing a chalk n' talk on set theory and explained how set theory could be represented as first-order logic. Filled the wall full of Greek letters and drilled down into the topic. Then started talking about axioms. The students joined in - you could see them taking an interest, as the conversation had turned. In the event we spent 90 minutes (it was a 60 minute session) working through axiomatic set theory on the board. I had to look things up as we went. It was great, the students learned a ton (and some of the content turned up in their assignments, too) - I learned a fair bit, as Feynman will attest, there's nothing like teaching a topic to make you understand it better yourself - and it was productive and interesting.

I'm not sure I could repeat the same trick with a cohort of 20 or 30.

Why open source cloud native Kubernetes matters
It is a competitive advantage. A good, consistent UI would make people at-least not hate their job when it comes to handling SAP systems.

See, using an SAP system requires a lot of unnecessary cognitive load, so much to remember, so much to digest. So un-intuitive.

I am sure people would be more productive with a UI that is not complete crap.

I think institutionalized play would look more like a library staffed with people in place of the books - and a traditional library on premises. Ie have people of “all” careers or skills do some portion of their work on site with a way for interested students to engage with them. Maybe they offer classes for the really interested. Definitely leave a casual way to interact with the experts that’s noncommittal. Like have a request board for students to post topics or expertise they’d like a subject area expert discuss the basics of within a lecture.

I have to redline the current practice of heavily weighting towards exams and giving almost no weight to homework or reflections of actual effort towards learning. Some careers may pivot on crucial hour long expositions of skills (ala sales or trial law), but mostly people have time to figure out a problem and carefully plan or communicate with coworkers and more experienced people.

Your end grade should reflect your performance 99% of the time instead of .01% or whatever portion effectively one lecture length of a class represents.
What would you say is the right scale for something like SAP? We are only at a few million right bald and around 250 people and are starting to think about it.

Overall, there can be nuance in all of these things, but you don't need to stress yourself with that nuance in so many cases.
You've pretty much got it. A monoid is a two argunent operation and a data type with 3 properties:

It's 'chainable', or the more precise mathematical term is "closed". It has a value that can be used as an identity. And it's associative. Where associative means that when 'chaining' multiple operations (as you termed it) it doesn't matter how you group with parentheses; it'll produce the same result.

Absolutely. I am thinking that a reasonably efficient system can be built with that 100 million put in a bank and pay the interest (4%, 4 million), to about 10 - 15 developers and use standard practices and open source systems for a custom erp system.

But I guess the reason products like SAP survive is because in a corporate environment, people have the "No one was fired for buying IBM" mentality.

If an SAP implementation is thrust upon the organization, then there will not be anyone particular to blame. Just the 3rd party devs perhaps.

You're asking the wrong question, really. SAP is a result of what's built when a software company is started to solve megascale business process automation problems. It is literally impossible to create a great user experience when developing software in or for enterprise IT departments, for a lot of reasons.

1. Budgetary restrictions

2. Quality of engineering teams

3. Lack of autonomy to make and enforce product functionality (or even UI) decisions

4. Competing stakeholders

5. Inconsistent workflows

The chasm between product development at a "digital native" and how business software is created in captive IT are worlds apart (and my list doesn't even touch the added challenges when it's outsourced IT).
Bespoke is expensive but sometimes the least expensive option. I worked at a company that just hired an auditing consultant firm to certify their existing system. It took a year of locking down existing processes and slapping approvals and change management on everything, but at the end the system stayed more or less the same with minimal changes in business process required. I think they made the right choice, but they had the personnel, time, size, and money to do it. I think it would have been riskier, taken longer, and been more expensive to buy an ERP (NetSuite and SAP were evaluated), and the business came to the same conclusion. However I would not recommend this for for any company with less than half a billion in revenue already!
