Yeah, bootstraps all the way:
1. Bootstrap "base 1" to Automation 1 (Coal etc.)
2. Bootstrap "Base 2" for Red/Green science, automate building components
3. Main bus "Science Base" maybe up to first rocket (maybe some train in resources) and later repurpose for module construction.
4. Train Base to goal SPM factory

The game has some major transition points where refactoring makes sense, but often the correct solution is to tactically upgrade as much as possible, and get to the better point to rebuild.

I just answered the GP, maybe you have your threads mixed up?

But if I were to speculate I would say that if Instagram does what the article title says that you could already make that claim about Facebook since they are a part of it.

> If you want to deploy fast you need to skip steps and reduce I/O

It's perfectly okay to build your artifacts on a stateful host and then put them into a container as a quick to add layer. A whole lot of work has gone into making applications quicker to build via incremental builds that depend on state, and it's worth taking advantage of.

People want to make containers the solution to every problem, and I think that's where the philosophy is hurting. It's okay to not have perfectly hermetic build / developer environments if your tooling is better for it.
> that the old star was about to go supernova

I think the estimate is that Betelgeuse is about 10 million years old, some suggest it is closer to 8 million. Our sun is in its prime with 4.5 billion years.

I agree that mine -- and many others' -- points of view on PHP are skewed by a sort of a "shameful past". And I agree it's uncharitable. I am facing the same myself in the Elixir community which, despite being a very well-made language with an excellent runtime is still being derided by its lack of strong typing.

So I know your sentiment and I sympathize with it.

I too was a bit too dismissive and I am sorry.

My point was more along the lines of the seeming fact that the PHP community shrunk and, as you said, the original people who made it popular are long gone, likely to never come back. Not sure if anything can be done about it. As a fan of a fringe language I know how it is.

For what it's worth, I only heard good things about Laravel and several other libraries (or frameworks? don't know) along the lines of big productivity boosts.

Here's to hoping that one day all of that will converge somewhere where all of us will have to deal with less BS.

And here I am dreaming of a world where companies do real deletions of data when a user requests (and also deleting older transactional data that has outlived its utility, including regulatory requirements) and storage prices being lower with a slightly smaller (steady) market for it from the major companies.

On the other hand, storage prices seem to be low enough for all these companies with bulk, long term contracts that developers wouldn’t bother doing real deletes of data.

Ask HN: What do you use for SSH key management of teams?
Everyone uses ssh keys to manage access to their servers, but so far I haven't found a great (ideally open) solution to manage those keys.

Manual management is tedious and error prone.

In particular, I want to be able to add and remove keys and assign user's access rights to certain servers.

If I remove a key, the access to all servers should be revoked.

What do you use for this?

Steam is a gas, meaning the thrust is a function of the pressure. Plasma is made of ions, which can be significantly accelerated by electromagnets, meaning the thrust depends on the acceleration caused by those magnets, and can be a lot higher than steam.

(Technically, the thrust generated is more complicated than just pressure, heavily affected by temperature too, but I digress)
Because the goal is compliance, not to put companies out of business. When the laws were first enacted everybody was screaming that it was just to put companies out of business. Now they are wondering why the small initial fines.

It's simple: change your ways and use the initial fines as a wake up call. If you then do not wake up and persist the fines will get heavier and heavier until you will pay attention.

A Dutch hospital managed to get to the third round of fines and they weren't all that happy afterwards. 460K Euro fine for a single instance of ignoring the regulators on a single individual.

Believe me when I tell you they have understood now.

The initial fine was zero, just a warning to improve.

The case revolved around a very minor dutch celebrity whose data was reviewed by hospital employees that should not have had that access.

I think just about everything should be a soft delete, however you need a time limit where you sweep those. Ideally you would even give the user an option to accelerate that (as much as technically possible) if they really want something gone.
> A zero-carbon lifestyle is completely unattainable for the simple reason that we breathe out CO2. [..]

That's a misconception that I often encounter.

Note that CO2 breathed out by humans and animals has (almost) no effect on atmospheric CO2 levels. Humans consume exclusively non-fossil carbon, i.e. only carbon that was harvested from plants out of the atmosphere using photosynthesis. When we breath out we merely give back the carbon that the plant removed from the atmosphere maybe few months earlier.

This is different from cars which primarily consume fossil carbon, so their exhaust puts carbon back into the atmosphere, which hasn't been in the atmosphere for at least a few tens of million years.

Luckily mankind hasn't found out yet how to turn fossil carbon into food :)

I don't think either FAST or RATAN are capable of radar astronomy (i.e. sending out a strong radio pulse and listening to the reflection). Arecibo's radar capability has led to numerous important discoveries, taught us a great deal about Mercury (including the period of its rotation and the fact that it has ice at its poles), and is still one of the most effective tools we have for examining low albedo solid objects within a few AU of earth (e.g. asteroids).

Even without that, Arecibo is still a very capable observatory, and it's not like we have an excess capacity of observatories doing this sort of work. We could have twice as many similar facilities and still keep them all busy.
> I guess the complexity is that.. there doesn't seem to be a good answer, currently.

Encouraging people to eat less fish might be the easiest (and thereby best) solution.

I'm not saying humans should eat /no/ fish – indeed there are many human communities which rely on fishing, and for which fishing plays a key role in their culture. Similarly, some people may need to eat fish for health reasons.
However, it seems to me that /reducing/ consumption by cutting consumption of fish for pleasure/taste would likely benefit both the environment and people; for example, indigeneous groups which traditionally rely on fishing would face less competition from industrial-scale fishing. From an environmental standpoint, most things, even whaling it seems, are inherently sustainable in smaller scales.

Again, I don't mean to say that everyone needs to comsume zero fish. But if those of us who can, which likely includes many HN readers, cut down our consumption it may benefit everyone at quite a small cost to ourselves; as a middle class Northern European, I can testify that me not having consumed fish in the last 5 years has had 0 immediate impact on my health or happiness levels.

Note: Of course this is all assuming that there are more eco-friendly alternative protein/fat/omegas sources available. Again, I do not mean to say that this is applicable for everyone.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty anti-Go. Its filled with hacky workarounds for when various things don't fit their "simple" abstractions. File IO and paths is laughably not cross-platform because of this, for example.

Networking is another example. And casting to interface while the built-in collections secretly use generics.

A good way to avoid all these problems is to use a language with great cross-platform support like Java or C#.

Everything I've learned From Morgan Housel
I get emails from some banks with instructions to spot phishing. One of those is to look at the full URL in emails or on websites to know if it’s authentic or not.

For better or worse, the URL scheme is what we have to identify websites and pages. Hiding that on larger screens doesn’t make much sense. It also hinders learning for the next generation.
Buildcraft’s builder can stamp complicated structures, but if you want to use it in factories then every stamp will need some hands on work. Ticking tile entities have fragile metadata that don’t like getting placed by non-players. There may be workarounds, but then you need to implement a blueprint system that can handle arbitrary ticking tile entity metadata. It might not even be a good idea to do this even if you can. Anyway, assuming these are solvable problems and someone has solved them, then you could have a factorio-like experience.

The thing is, factorio came out swinging with better automation than any minecraft mod. It is much easier to place things together and have them run free. Logistics bots are an absolute game changer in industry games. The bar has been raised.
>With disciplined and smart investing, 40 years of compounding interest can work wonders.

One problem is that this takes 40 years...
There's a lot of investment and development going on in asat tech...
I'm a small town guy who mostly works on small (town) teams, so I've often done database, application, and client.

The very edges are mostly static albeit evolving... HTML has been improved, CSS much more capable, and JavaScript has grown (and been repackaged) but client development on the very edge isn't too different.

The database and the bones of SQL have not changed drastically (though you can choose NoSQL and use JSON, which is very different!)

But to your point, the application layer actually has changed a lot. I started out writing ColdFusion applications, then classic ASP, then .NET 1.1/2.0 through 4.8 and a pinch of .NET Core 2.0+. But also NodeJS and Python and dozens and dozens I haven't touched.

However, the software development skills that are (semi-)permanent apply, while the particular expiring flavors change with the seasons.

In some ways, JavaScript has been the most constant through my career, though how I've used it has been all over the map, from little scripts in a HEAD tag, to jQuery applications, to NodeJS server applications, to TypeScript client applications.

The vast majority of companies I've seen consider issuing "SQL DELETE" is sufficient for GDPR compliance.

One day, they will be burned when some investigation finds out that those rows are still sitting in uncompacted tables, or on now-unallocated disk blocks, or on now-remapped SSD sectors.

The only way to be sure the data is deleted is to copy all the data you want to keep to a new drive and burn the old one. Anything less and there is a reasonable chance an expert could recover at least some of the deleted info.

I don't even think "right now" fixes necessarily indicate a problem in development approach. Sometimes unexpected things happen and you need a way to fix them quickly, without being bogged down by infrastructure.

A great example of this is using a production repl. It even served Nasa well (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17253459/what-exactly-ha...). Having to change your system on-the-fly is not always an indication of a poorly developed or managed system.

I made an average of $220k including salaries, bonuses and 401k matches. I lived on 30k and invested the rest, mostly in QQQ after maxing my retirement contributions for tax advantages. I had about 40k saved when I started working after graduate school. Yes I benefited from a booming tech market, both in my investments and my career. But that boom is ongoing, and really it only majorly picked up 5 years ago. I quit working 2 years ago to focus on my own projects, so someone starting today would likely have an easier path than my own. I saw someone on reddit fatfire yesterday who has $75k at age 20 just from FANG internships. He could have 200k by the time he starts his first real job, and there are entry-level offers higher than my average salary at top companies right now.

I kind of agree. The worst part is that most of the problems with C++'s classic "typesafe_printf" implementation come from the fact that there is an extra pass over the formatting string in order to do the actual typecheck. But this rust implementation does not have this problem (no type specifiers in the format string, just placeholders as in {fmt}), and it still looks pretty ugly (and when your reference is a ugly C++ metaprogramming version, that says something).

>A: It does not contain the texts of books or recipes.
Seems to be a bit useless without it.

Yes, it's "useless" if one wants the The Sifter to be a source of recipes. Instead, the Sifter's goal appears to be a database of meta information[1] (e.g. ingredients, techniques, etc) of recipes and not the full text of recipes themselves.

An analogy might be a website of baseball statistics[2]. Yes, one can also complain that site is "useless" because it doesn't include videos of the actual games. But others can use it to see when black players first appeared, trends of batting averages, trends of pitcher rotations, etc. A researcher wouldn't need the actual films of gameplay to answer those types of questions and a database of meta info about baseball actually enables faster lookup.

[1] excerpt:
>The Sifter isn’t a collection of recipes, or a repository of entire texts. Instead, it’s a multilingual database, currently 130,000-items strong, of the ingredients, techniques, authors, and section titles included in more than 5,000 European and U.S. cookbooks. It provides a bird’s-eye view of long-term trends in European and American cuisines, from shifting trade routes and dining habits to culinary fads.
