>Nope - in free societies you should be able to refuse service on any grounds, including those things.

You know, in free societies, there is society. That is very different from "wild reign of every impulse going through the head of an individual", which of course would be impossible anyway as an individual is itself permanently full of conflicting impulses.

Not to do things and do things is only a matter of wording. Forbidding to kill people is equivalent with compelling to do something: people are compelled to repress their possible will to kill other people. Accepting to follow an interdiction is doing something. Only something that doesn't exist won't act in any way or an other.
Especially with investors, the incentives might be that you're better off doing exactly what was asked for i instead of going rouge to boost the company's profits. For you, the developer, that's an unnecessary risk and there's no reward for taking it.

As far as I know hydrogen is currently mostly derived from fossil fuels. Electrolysis would be possible but it's expensive and still less energy efficient than a pure battery-electric vehicle.

People are willing to pay a premium for electric cars because they're greener. This DOES NOT APPLY to hydrogen fuel cell cars.

We should think what will the term after “mother” will be, while we’re at the drawing board.

In a few years time, not everyone will have a mother, as thats gendering a guardian. To imply someone must have a mother is oppressive to all the fathers, especially people who have both parents as fathers.

But, I may be misspeaking. Whose to say either one of their guardians are a mother, or a father. That would be too binary of me.

If there was any way to translate the legacy code running on mainframes into a Java application, naturally, there would be an infrastructure migration issue. The new plan plainly states that the infrastructure is dependent on: "Establish Cloud Management Office and Cloud Governance", which also depends on installing the new "Procure and deliver ECM Release 1 Cloud platform on Treasury Cloud".

This stuff takes a lot of time and they've been preparing for the change since 2015. This is entirely not simple.

I had a similar situation, but it didn't go through. I offered to reduce the company-wide monthly costs by 5% in exchange for 40k once by replacing an outside vendor with my own self-developed clone which the company would then own. Didn't go through because our investors feared an increased dependency on me as an employee.
> tens or hundreds of thousands of HR systems, paper forms, tax laws, jurisdictions, edge cases, bank transfers, etc,

Is there any evidence that this is the case though? I don’t have any evidence for the contrary either, but my own experience would suggest that the IRS system is likely bulky and inflexible behemoth that does not care least to be compatible with any other systems as all of those other systems are written to be compatible with what IRS have already. And whatever edge cases or gotchas there might be they are probably offloaded to internal bureaucracy.

Intent is not obvious, unless you have evidence and that is to court to prove, beyond any reasonable doubt.

Intent to kill is something a sociopath does, do you think police force has more of them than the rest of society?

There was a time when vigilant justice didn't need court, but I don't think we want that to return (witch hunts in middle ages or lynching in 19th and early 20th century USA).

For a couple of years now, I've been developing features for a product that hasn't found product-market fit. Features that nobody _really_ gives a shit about. I can talk directly to one of the cofounders, bring them evidence based on analytics or the past failings of the giants upon whose shoulders we're standing on. His response is, majority of the time, "yeah, I get that. We promised this to a few customers and I really think it'll work". It hasn't worked.
Not a mystery, and discussed previously on HN before. The IRS abandoned this technology because it lost key employees, because it was not legally allowed to pay market rates for them. Discussion in 2018: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16377804 .
I might be totally off the mark here, but in context I assumed the contrast was with doing all work on a thick "client". A client-server architecture in principle lets you run thinner clients and offload the heavy work, but in practice the network would've been expensive.

A modern analogue might be something like premature distributed computing.

I'm not an expert on this, but my guess would be that it's slow because it requires at too much indirection.

Instead of the Vec holding concrete instances of EventHandler, it holds pointers to them (because of the Box). And then because of the dyn, the compiler can't generate static-dispatch code when you later inevitably want to call functions on the EventHandler, so those function calls have to be resolved at runtime.
It’s not immediately clear what benefits that would bring though besides ticking a box of “technically a modern language”. Automated translation won’t be much more readable than assembly and it won’t magically become enterprise grade OOP either.

You can use docker, so the OS doesn't matter and you don't need to install a webserver, php, mysql and other things on your main system. Even if you use Ubuntu as your main system it's good idea to use docker for you local environment.

If you need a starting point I have a example on GitHub that may help you: https://github.com/bhdzllr/localhost/tree/master/docker-lemp

It's a LEMP stack. You need to change the volumes in the "docker-compose.yaml" to match to your system and adapt and copy the "nginx/default.conf" into the volume path of nginx. The "nginx/default.conf" has some examples which you may delete.

I bought Lego Mindstorms EV3 while son was 3 years old - just playing, making mechanisms, winter time. He could create something by himself. The hard part was staying simple - waiting while I made even simplest robot was to exhaustive for both of us.

He is 4 years now, stacking (lego classic) is simpler, I enjoy it too. But most complex models he built with Fischertechnik (free exploration). Universal 3 [1] is amazing set (with 40 models book) and connections are much sturdier, blocks bigger, more ways to connect.

Building Lego Technic vehicle requires thinking ahead. Looks like the way forward is extending classic with studded beams (phased out in modern sets) or (from Technic side) building with Beam Frames (64179) [2].

You don't think so, I know so.

There are a few edge cases where spinning disks could be acceptable, but none where they are superior anymore.

Cost? Maybe if you're not billed for electricity. And the cost of hardware is beer money compared to admin/dev/architect time.

Durability? Drives of both technology vary in durability based on market class. Enterprise disks are superior to cheap consumer SSDs in that respect, but within the same class SSDs are superior.

Type of database? Well if your database is used mostly for sequential reads, in other words when it's for most intents and purposes used like a flat file would be, you're in that edge case. Few individual databases are like that, though admittedly those that are can be very large.

Data written/read? Early SSDs were admittedly prone to wearing off with heavy writes. We're long past that, except if you're talking about dodgy SD cards but you're not putting a database on that, are you?

Types of filesystems? Just no.

Hard drives are cheaper per byte. Significantly cheaper, but not even an order of magnitude cheaper anymore. They use more power, their random access time is orderS of magnitude slower, and their sequential transfer rate is slower. Hell even sequential write is not better any more.

But I'll concede this, if you look long and hard enough, I'm sure you can find that one odd case where a database is marginally better served by spinning disks.
That would work, but it would likely re-introduce the catastrophic forgetting problem, because now the GLN is dependent on an intermediate representation determined by conv layers.
Support for multiboot was added to the NetBSD bootloader so that it could boot Xen, I didn't consider whether it should be able to boot Linux or test that.

True but we're interested in power consumption per distance traveled so it goes back to O(v^2).
The fundamental problem is that the EPA tests (and tests in the rest of the world) were really designed to give an estimate of efficiency, not range. For efficiency, they are actually pretty reasonable; the MPGe and watt-hours-per-kilometer actually give a reasonably good picture of typical driving, with a mix of high-speed/freeway and stop-n-go/city driving. But the range you care about in a battery EV is more about how much anxiety road trips induce, which is a much more complicated problem, involving variables like high speed charger availability.
Yeah, that definitely sounds like the way to go. Even if we eventually end up legalizing it completely, that would be a very good and safe first step.
Other manufacturers don’t optimise for the US market, so they’re not going to optimise for the test which is used only in the US.

In my own experience, often non-technical people will attribute things as AI that we wouldn’t, eg any basic automation. Really anything that’s in any way intelligent or seems that way. I had a project where people were excited about a feature that was basically just alerting when one value crossed over or under another... I wonder if your team could provide real value to customers providing some smart “AI” feature that isn’t actually machine learning.
You need to ask him to define success and failure for the feature. Under what conditions will he accept it has not worked

It probably is not 50/50 for literally any idea, it is maybe 50/50 for well considered ideas, but even then I doubt it. I am pretty sure there are things which you clearly know will not go down well with your customers, or that your customers won't care for.
I hate the hand-waviness behind this argument. Yes, much of college is not worth it anymore and can be attained online. Still, these HN threads always come to the same conclusion that there remain elements of the college experience that can only be found on campus.

Not attacking you personally btw. You seem to see the nuance required of the conversation.
Not meaning to make sweeping generalisations, but in my experience, any company that mentions AI or machine learning too many times in there promo material seems to fall into the rather unfortunate categories of "working on something that no one wants" and "working on something unlikely to yield useful results"

I went to Caltech in the 70's. Caltech did a pretty good job of only admitting people who could hack the program. But they did make mistakes here and there, and those would suffer the humiliation of flunking out. This did nobody any good.

What always drives me crazy about instances like this, is that managers and the c-level seem to be much more willing to listen to some "random" guy or blog over their own people. People they hired, people that have a much better understanding of the issue, the processes and so on.

This effect is by no means limited to tech. And engineers, regardless of type, are by no means immune to that as soon as they reach higher management positions. I have yet to figure this one out. Which drives me crazy sometimes, because my gut tells me that as soon as I did most "problems" I have regarding managment would be solvable instantly.
