Personally I prefer repeatable deploys and knowing that the right dependencies are installed, however we've all found ourselves in OP's situation from time to time. We still have a few ancient pets around that may get in situ hotfixing when circumstances warrant, but most of our workloads are containerized and deployed to kubernetes via gitlab pipes. There are a couple of things you can do to speed docker builds up, such as using build targets and structuring targets so that the layers of code that might need to change are added to the image last, allowing the earlier layers to be served from cache unless base dependencies change. For most of our services a commit-build-push-run cycle is probably on the order of 1-3 minutes. That might be slower than a nimble-fingered guru logging in to edit a line and restart a service, but its close enough that the advantages of the system far outweigh its costs, for us anyway.

I don't know anyone who launched their first rocket faster than most story-based games that you pay €60 for and get one or two dozen hours of content if you're lucky.

Factorio is half the price for more hours of entertainment, even if you never touch it again after your first rocket launch (assuming you do enjoy it until the first rocket launch and don't put it away before then).

A minority of players (like me) likes to continue expanding and optimizing after the first rocket launch, but indeed most people go play something else first and start another map later, perhaps with friends. On your second run, you'll build a much better factory. Not necessarily because you like optimizing so much, but now that you know the game you can do things much better and most people enjoy seeing that they really made progress in learning how to play a game.
I'm producing lots of screencasts, and this service is perfect for me and my team!

Our workflow is:

- I record "A roll" of me doing things with terminals

- I record audio at the same time

- We edit to shrink the overall runtime, focusing on the audio, eliminating restatements and flubs.

- I record "B roll" of hand-drawn diagrams, illustrating certain points, and again record audio.

- We shrink the B roll, generally cutting the audio down to as small as possible then adjusting the video to fit.

- Splice A+B, add header (title card, spicy theme music) and footer, upload to interwebs, dance a jig.

To be honest it's ... a lot! I want to have a simpler and more direct way for my ideas to be published, so my friends and others can use the ideas to make everyone's lives better. Our current workflow isn't the best. A service like Tella might take a chunk of our drudgery away, which would be great!
Did you just make a strong argument for why these services ought to be “nationalized” like public infrastructure?
A reasonable percentage is the one that Apple would charge if it had competition. Apple obviously cares about user experience, and does not want iOS apps to be split between multiple stores, so if they had to allow alternative install sources they would likely drop their fees by a lot, to make sure that developers have no incentive to promote alternative app stores. That lowered fee is the one developers should have been paying all along.

If you really put the squeeze to them, the "natural" price would probably be a bit below cost for them, because the availability of apps is a selling point for their high-margin phones and tablets. That is why they are willing to host free apps, after all. (Although even then they take the developer fee)

It's possible to order bots to put out things for you without blueprints. You need a personal roboport, and some construction bots in your inventory. It's been a while since I played, so I don't really remember if you just place with left click, or some modifier and left click. It vastly increases the range you can reach when building manually and its an excellent qol upgrade. The more construction bots you have (up to the researched limit) the more faster it'll be, because they have to return to you to pick up the next piece.
It only does this on mobile, as far as I can tell; using desktop Safari as my primary browser, I'm not seeing this.
I fully expect that we will see application level and system level tools that are compliant with the law pop up any day now, the need is certainly there.

Also, for purposes of operations on data it all depends on what the column holds. For instance, you don't actually need access to fields such as names and dates of birth if you have a client ID and that is yours, not the customers and so you could leave that field in plain text. Any operation would then need that client ID but that's workable.

You could even say that if you would need that decryption key for anything other than user or controller directed computation that you are probably doing something you shouldn't be doing. In all other cases the context is clear, consent has been obtained and the data can be decrypted if required.

> I've met very intelligent people who have zero understanding of computers

I'm curious - how do you reconcile thinking they're very intelligent with thinking that they're utterly unable to grasp the basic concepts of computing?

And that, precisely, is my point: as an industry we'd rather tell ourselves that it's all so impossibly hard and beyond the grasp of the common person rather than admit that we just suck at explaining things and educating people outside our bubbles.
I was thinking about just this the other day -- why and how is QAnon a different sort of conspiracy theory?

One thought that occurred to me is that it is not a post-hoc theory to explain events in the past, like for example, 9/11 trutherism, the Kennedy assassination, COINTELPRO abuses, or Roswell. Those are "classical" conspiracy theories, and they often touch on shady machinations of government and extra-governmental sources of power, but they focus on a major fact, event, or sequence of them in the past.

QAnon is predictive. It is not accurately predictive at all, but it is fundamentally present-and-future-oriented. People buying into it believe that they are in the midst of a vast conspiracy now, and expect things to transpire in the future based on that version of reality.

That could make adherents act differently today and tomorrow from how they would otherwise, expecting certain rewards later or to be regarded in a particular light "when the truth comes out", instead of merely feeling differently about actors from the past and believing they have uncovered some past truth.

Another aspect that I think plays a key role is the wink and nod support from those with power who know it helps maintain their grip on a certain segment of their voter base. The tacit support given by seriously empowered agents in our world is stunning and upsetting, but rarely if ever crosses a line to where they've really committed themselves.

Then, there's the crowd-driven nature of it. It's like someone harnessed the concept of "anonymous" from a few years ago and deftly weaponized it for a specific political purpose. Whatever is said by Q may not have been said by Q. It may have been said to throw someone off of the trail. Anyone could claim to be speaking as Q. No one knows where legitimacy flows from. It's a headless thing, but it can't stop talking -- who knows what it might say? Who might use it to speak?

It has clearly already radicalized a large number of people into rejecting many normal beliefs -- how far could it direct their actions at large, or at least those of individuals?

It is a seriously great con. But these aspects -- future-orientedness, tacit legitimization, and potentially zero control -- make it a seriously scary thing to have built into the political landscape of today's society.

It is a controversial issue regarding identity and perception. You can't agree to disagree. One side believes pedophelia is being enabled, the other side believes brainwashing is deploying as a political weapon.

The topic abhors rationality. It's a wedge in political discourse, because it is seemingly immoral to take the middle ground.
You could argue that Microsoft bundling IE was 'for their user's common good' just the same. It was certainly nice and convenient, and made Windows easier to use. And it wasn't restricting anyone's freedom, because they could just use Unix instead.

Except none of those things are the point of antitrust law. But I guess who cares anyway, when genocide is always worse than these things, so we shouldn't care about them?
Hi HN,

I have been jamming on this new project and wanted to share it with you all. It’s inspired by Hey (the new email service) and the idea is to bring some of the concepts directly on top of Gmail.

ZenMail works as a browser extension (Chrome and Firefox currently). The core idea behind ZenMail is the concept of Screener, a new place where all unknown emails go and where you get to decide not only if you want to receive emails from someone but if you do, where they should automatically go (e.g. Inbox, Feed, or PaperTrail) with just a single click.

Under the hood, it uses Gmail labels and filters to add all these functionality. The extension therefore needs access to few Gmail permissions. This of course is a privacy concern. However, ZenMail is 100% local to your browser (except using Gmail APIs). I do not send or collect any information (also verified by Google’s Gmail API access process).

On roadmap is to add screening to any of your existing labels (available next week). I want to also add some sort of attachments viewer, contact page, email bundling, private notes and so on.

I would love it if you could try it out and share what you think of it. I would also love any ideas you have on how ZenMail could be more useful to you.

[Chrome] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmail/kbhafncken...

[Firefox] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zenmail/

Pro-tip: When you install the extension and go to Screener, you will see it’s empty at the beginning as only new emails from now onwards will arrive here. As a one time action and to start setting rules, I highly recommend moving some of your emails (or all) from your Inbox to Screener (Gmail’s Move to)

ONI is great, yet one 'game' is much longer than Factorio. I bet you can launch a rocket much sooner in Factorio than in ONI. Also, I found Factorio easier and less stressful than ONI. There's no real 'lose' case and the progress feels faster.

>The ones joining frats, partying constantly, playing sports and all that must have trivial classes. Either that or they’re already so rich and privileged that they can afford to fail courses and keep going.

I disagree completely. Some people are just inhumanly capable of balancing everything. One of the smartest people I met while in school was in a sorority and partied hard. She was also extremely successful academically and is currently attending medical school.

I also had my share of fun, but I would never have been able to keep up with her. Fortunately my academic ambitions don't go much farther than my BS in comp. sci.

Just because you can't manage the balancing act doesn't mean no one else can.

Have you considered changing your line of work, and perhaps seeing if you can use your existing skills to help you in a new career?

I'm eyeing off a few avenues, I wouldn't mind not writing software for money anymore but it would also be cool to use my hard earned experience to my advantage. One avenue I thought of was music composition, because there are ways to automate some of it with code that I could use to provide some extra value, but it's also enough of a leap from my current career that it would be a wildly new endeavor.
> you could still pretty easily run stuff in a container and set it up/treat it like a "pet" rather than "cattle"

Keep in mind, though, if you've got a pet stateful "container" you can SSH into, it's not really a container any more; it's a VPS.

(Well, yes, it is technically a container. But it's not what people mean to talk about when they talk about containers.)

When $1/mo fly-by-night compute-hosting providers are selling you a "VPS", that's precisely what they're selling you: a pet stateful container you can SSH into.

And it's important to make this distinction, I think, because "a VPS" is a lot more like a virtual machine than it is like a container, in how it needs to be managed by ops. If you're doing "pet stateful containers you can SSH into", you aren't really 'doing containers' any more; the guides for managing containerized deployments and so forth won't help you any more. You're doing VMs—just VMs that happen to be optimized for CPU and memory sharing. (And if that optimization isn't something you need, you may as well throw it away and just do VMs, because then you'll gain access to all the tooling and guidance targeted explicitly at people with exactly your use-case.)

My framework for this as a failing entrepreneur so far, so don't take too seriously:

There are 3 steps going from 0 to 1:
1. problem/solution fit
2. product/market fit
3. business model fit

#1 determines whether or not you can make just a few people very successful in achieving some outcome they want where they are willing to pay you

#2 determines whether or not there's a market that highly demands your solution and you can convince them to pay you for it at scale

#3 determines whether the net profit and net profit growth YoY justifies working on the company

I think this tweet is saying the company already had product/market fit so scaling it was no problem.

Brian Balfour is someone who actually has some success. Here's his series for putting p/m fit in a different framework: https://brianbalfour.com/essays/product-market-fit-isnt-enou...

> this one engulfs all other ones into a single plot

This is nothing new, the shapeshifting lizard conspiracy already did this.
Even if Blink and Webkit are separate (and they are still clearly closer than Gecko), we're getting to a Blink monoculture except for the iOS holdout (which is still only ~5% of all traffic, but generally high value and you're prevented from telling them to use another browser).

It seems like if things keep going this way, Safari also would inevitably end up rebasing Safari onto Blink too (with their strategic changes).
I like Michael Moors theory of those Settlers coming to this big, strange country and being afraid of everything which then became a kind of fear culture.
Chenjiandongx/oscar: Next generation building tool for nothing
Somewhat, but also build a new one while letting the old one still perform useful work, decommission when it is beneficial.
That's really not so different than many previous popular conspiracy theories.

Replace QAnon's pedophile elite with one of:

- The Catholic Church

- Free Masons

- Rosicrutians

- Illuminati

- Jewish Bankers

- Satanist Elites

- Lizard People

- The CIA

- UN Globalists w/ Agenda 21

- And so on...

What makes a conspiracy theory really _stick_ is when it confounds a _kernel of truth_. The more convincing and defensible that kernel of truth is, the easier it is to build conjecture upon.

Ie, the CIA probably isn't directing world affairs, but they do certainly engage in political actions to disrupt the course of nations, and so many extrapolate their influence to extents we don't have evidence for.

QAnon's kernel of truth is the incredibly alluring and defensible idea that politicians cannot be trusted and many are not working in our best interest. From there... The sky's the limit.
Damn, I want to support Servo. Where do I throw my allowance on them?

it's because cycling enthusiasts are generally wealthy. The high-end bike industry is a scam, standards change all the time for dubious reasons. Soon it'll be impossible to find a new 26" tire.
The problem is that there are simply no good free browsers that are not Chromium-based or Firefox. It doesn't seem viable or worthwhile to write a web rendering engine from the ground up. We're heading rapidly towards a Blink/Webkit monoculture.
Yes I know it's different in the US. In the UK an old house is preferred and a new house is seen as a low-cost alternative if you can't afford an old house.

But I don't agree about the garden or shape - I think green space and architecture has a scientifically documented positive impact on well-being - I don't think comparing them to a luxury for show is really sensible.

I think around the 30s is probably perfect - houses still made of solid brick and stone, with thick internal walls to create sound privacy, and high-quality solid materials that will last centuries. But still made with basically modern technology and not containing any surprises.

> I would cite knowledge of a particular software as a rapidly expiring skill. You can learn a particular software and become an absolute productive genius in it, but let a couple years pass without touching it and you'll return to find the software has changed, and your relentless speed and muscle memory is constantly crashing into the changes.

Depends on the software. In modern IT-oriented software, or webdev which is basically the same thing, where we have made a sport of rewriting things for the sake of rewriting them, yeah that's totally true.

But Someone with 1990s Excel wizardry will still be an Excel wizard today. I'm sure the same is true of a lot of professional software out there where "professional" != "IT".

You can imagine someone arriving at a personal philosophy that aligns with BLM, independently and through their own introspection. No one is going to independently arrive at the philosophy of QAnon just by pondering the world, again because it has very little to do with reality.

> Naming of fields and other members is described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guid...

Your link explicitly states that it does not cover private fields:

> Internal and private fields are not covered by guidelines

Which is specifically what I noted was dropped from the document linked by TFA.

> Pascal case, same as Properties so they can be seamlessly refactored.

Your link also explicitly states that it only applies to static public or protected fields, and that public instance fields are forbidden by the member design guidelines*:

> The field-naming guidelines apply to static public and protected fields […] public or protected instance fields are not allowed by the member design guidelines.

So the only "seamless refactoring" which is allowed is essentially irrelevant (it's switching between static fields and static properties).
Long ago and far away I had an idea for a short story that touched on these issues of seeds gene-modified to be one-yield-only and multi-cropping. I fizzled on the story but not so hard that I shouldn't be able to pick it up again.

I'm glad for the research I did 15 years ago; I still encounter situations where it becomes relevant, e.g. this discussion here and why certain water pipes are colored purple [or other colors, but at this time I remember only what purple means].
Of course, given any absurd position, you can find somebody who holds it, so the implication of targeting one such position would be that, unlike the others, its representation is non-negligible. I disagree in this example - this seems like the invention of specifically irrational people for the purpose of mocking whatever broader group you perceive them to be a part of. However, what you would certainly find are people not just discussing Trump's hypocrisy/inconsistency, which is a valid opinion, but also people overly focusing on it to the overshadowing of Snowden's freedom.
