But "violates criminal law" is a statement about the population's beliefs. We pick what is illegal. It isn't some fundamental thing. In Germany, for example, holocaust denial is literally illegal.
Django is decent for POCs that need some level of security since you get authentication out of the box with no external database configuration necessary due to sqlite. Sometimes you have an endpoint that needs that due to resource usage, but the number of users is so low that setting up a complicated auth system isn’t worth it.

Minimalist frameworks are great for either very small (since they don’t need much of anything) or very large projects (since they will need a bunch of customization regardless).

In that regard, I think Django is kind of like the Wordpress of Python.

There are many kinds of open pollinated varieties that can be grown from seed. Many still used for cider making today. The market varieties are hybrids and won’t grow true to parents like you said. In fact, they might not set any fruit at all and you might not even know for 8 years!

Maybe it's because I grew up on BBSes, IRC, and other text-based online communities before being able to reliably vocally speak and see online folks, but I don't see a huge problem with remote work and interaction.

Yes there are certainly some cases where in-person meetings are for more preferential for discussing complicated topics, but i think 90% of it can be done virtually. Also I think there are some (white collar) positions where their job duties rely more heavily on in-person interactions too, and those might be more on the upper-management and executive levels, but those shouldn't dictate every position in the company.
This principle works with front end development too. Crazy build times on large applications can be alleviated if your approach is to build logic in isolation, then do final testing and fitting in the destination.

It’s hard to do this when surrounding code doesn’t accommodate the approach, but it’s great way to design an application if you have the choice. I really love sandboxing features before moving them into the application. Everything from design to testing can be so much faster and fun without the distractions of the build system and the rest of the application.

A slightly more polite way of putting that would be that sex with your spouse is incidental, the reason for the relationship, is the relationship. A prostitute can't provide that.

I'm yet to meet such people in real life. At places I work people always treated serverless as a tool. Usually solutions would have a little lambda icing on a large monolith cake, so to speak.
I feel like a fraud sometimes. I routinely copy parts of various code projects, I’ve used before because Im too lazy to write it again. To the point where I don’t remember how it works anymore. Does anyone else do this? I feel like I’ve been coding for months sometimes when its been more half a decade.

Suppose my advice to any coders looking for it or aspiring ones, is to keep it fresh and to always seek Something new, even if you’ve forgotten some ways you’ve built before. It may lead you to a door you haven’t traveled through before. To me that’s what this is all about. Starting somewhere and keep seeking doors.

I would assume (but haven't tested) that if you have a small class with a lot of instances, that you could make it even more efficient by doing the "Array of Structures" to "Structure of Arrays" transformation[0]. Since with a structure of arrays, you could use numpy, and not have object overhead for every integer or float or bool or whatever it is you are storing.

Unfortunately they do go that low. There have been multiple murders committed by ransomware gangs attacking European and US hospitals in recent months. Example:

How to Integrate Huawei ML Kit's Image Super-Resolution Capability
The Document Foundation could make a groveling blog post apologizing for 10 years of development on a fork of OpenOffice.

Nobody is asking for any such thing. But, ya know, what might be nice would be a blog post saying "Yes, we've kinda been dicks about this whole thing for the past 10 years, and we want to put aside any differences and animosity, and not have an acrimonious relationship between the two projects. And let's talk about what ways we might be able to collaborate despite: (see below)"

They cannot offer the code of LibreOffice as the copyright to the code belongs to the individual contributors and the licenses are not compatible (in that direction).

Yes, we're all aware. However, nothing stops individual contributors from choosing to dual license their code, and I suspect a subset of LO developers would (surely they're not all completely ideologically driven) if the project as a whole made a point of seeking a congenial relationship with AOO. And even if code isn't shared from LO to AOO, there are other ways the projects could collaborate for mutual benefit. Although, to be fair, that would have been more true 10 years ago...

Why won't Apache point people to a more up-to-date office suite rather than continue to peddle an old legacy system?

Why does any project choose to continue to perpetuate itself? LibreOffice have, as you all have pointed out, the larger and more active development community, distro support, etc... why must the insist on this There Can Be Only One mindset where the only satisfactory outcome is the death of Apache OpenOffice?

I know there are historical roots behind this whole conflict, and I wasn't around for the earliest parts of it, so maybe I'll never understand the details. But that's why I say, "after all this time, you'd think..." Surely people aren't still bearing grudges even now, over shit that happened like a million years ago (in computer industry years).
I can. If I don't care too much whether it arrives or not, and whether it's stolen or not. When I was young and reckless, I tried to send a check out to pay a bill (water or something like that) this way. Next thing I know, I get a call from Wells Fargo in San Francisco (I am not in San Francisco) asking me if I really want them to cash a check for $MUCH_BIGGER_SUM_THAN_INTENDED. Good thing they called, because I didn't. Of course, the scammer fled immediately after the bank clerk touched the phone, so that was the end of it, except that I am smarter now, and no longer send checks in the same location as I receive my mail.
I'm a big Firebase user with Firestore and has been great...no not perfect and the "cold start" is probably the worst issue. However, deployments are easy, the GUI tool keeps getting better, like the extension packages, and the authentication system is quick to implement.
AWS tooling is one pain point

Yes, SAM sucks. Boto3 sucks. I mean, yes, the AWS APIs are not the most obvious or ergonomics thing.
> Some edge cases deserve more addressing than others.

Not only is no one arguing different, the "hundreds of thousands of car accidents in the USA annually" has been addressed (in several ways). Perhaps other problems may also be addressed?

> There has never been a Mumbai-style terror attack

No, only in most (if not all) of the other G8 countries, but have they had a Pulse nightclub attack or planes flown into buildings? How many have had a Bataclan or a London Bridge style attack?

Let's not split hairs.

> the National Guard could be activated for such a thing

Well, I did suggest “possibly it should be the military” so the National Guard, being part of the military, would fit.

In short, an edge case being rare does not imply that it should not be prepared for. What's the response time for the National Guard if terrorists start attacking people in the street?

No it makes the point stronger, the point being "it's cheap enough to host your own CDN that you don't need to use a free one". And further "it is so so cheap that you can still make these dumb mistakes and it's still worth hosting the files yourself!"

It's like saying should I use a dry cleaner? Well it's only $50 to get them to iron my shirts, so it's worth it for my time saved. Then someone says "$50! You are being ripped off, if your "doing it right", you'd get it done for $10", to which I say, well if it's worth me paying $50, then it is worth me paying $10, so my original argument "use a dry cleaner" is made stronger.
I’m not downvoting you - on HN you can’t downvote someone you are replying to. It’s the rest of HN that is downvoting your arguments.

Tons of jobs we have now didn’t exist 5, 10, 25 years ago. Every time a mass amount of jobs are lost when an industry collapses, they always say “this time is different!” I just fundamentally disagree with that premise. There will always be work to do and someone willing to pay for it. If that ceases to be the case it would be the first time in human history, which seems way less likely than society continuing on like it has for millennia.

You also seem to think individuals are too stupid to look at the job market, see what skills are in demand, and self-select for learning a skill that they will enjoy and get compensated a fair wage to them. Every single person who loses a job, provided they eventually get off the government dole, will have to find something new to do. Working for a while at a restaurant or warehouse isn’t something they have to do forever. There is just a distinct lack of belief in human agency in your postings.
The psychological effects of technology seem often overlooked—and they’re hard to quantify.

I wish there was some easier way to quantify the “soft” aspects of everything that surrounds us, e.g. the long-term impact of beautiful and usable UI design, the reduction in “ambient” psychological stress, the impacts of chaos/consistency on how we feel, any robust measures of happiness, excitement, relaxation, etc.

They seem to be such important attributes, but not as easily measured as a latency. Which in turn makes reaching consensus harder—and probably why design by committee doesn't work?
Are you really sure?
I just remembered and deleted my ec2 instances that I had used to archive groups before they were deleted.. Many of the downloads failed.. There were some fascinating empty folders.. Kiribati classifieds, Japan JET program local communities, DnD resources en espanol...
Yeah, I think this was probably the only thing. My hands felt slightly less tired after a lot of typing. I was about the same speed as qwerty, which was already decently fast.
I've never understood why people who would never dream of using a single-instance application server are ok with using a single-instance datastore. Of course your datastore needs to autoscale just like your application does. Duh.
I've had my bank call me, wanting to talk about something important (I think it was loan payment that didn't go through or something of that sort) and the first thing they said was: "This is Bank XYZ and I'm calling to inform you of something. But before we do that you have to prove your identity. Can you tell me what your account number is?"

I said: "I'd be happy to, but first can you prove your identity to me? After all, you're the one that called me"

What followed was a hilarious discussion where they were unable to prove anything to me (for example, telling me something about my account that only I would know) because they're not allowed to tell anything to me until I proved who I am.

Finally I told them that I'd be happy to call them back and I asked them where I can find the number to call. I was obviously not going call a number the person would give me. They didn't know how to find the number to the customer service, so I found it myself and called back.

When they answered, I explained the situation but obviously there was no way to actually get in touch with the person with whom I had spoken earlier, and the person that I did speak to didn't know what the topic was. I asked them to call me back.

Well, they did eventually called me back, but what was the fist thing they asked after they did? "We need you prove your identity, can you tell me XXXX?"

They've stopped doing this now, and the mest recent thing they called me to inform me about something they just went to the point right away. I wonder if I've been flagged as someone who doesn't need verification or if they changed their policy.
It is complex, but it makes things simpler. Kind of like Chrome is way more complex than netcat'ing html, but it makes browsing the web way simpler.
This would make a fun hackathon-type activity.
I am an operations folk lol. Hence having to patch instances.
Yes! I have an application I can deploy to Heroku, Dokku, Google Cloud Run, AWS Fargate, old-fashioned VPS host, and I suppose a bunch of other hostings like DigitalOcean's newly announced PaaS which I haven't tested yet.

It's just a 12 factor app with a Dockerfile.

What makes Google Cloud Run special between all these is that it's fully managed with an easy auto-scale model and only charges you only for the time requests are being processed.
cloudflare workers has been doing very well for me too. the only problem is it's too tight down to CF
I'm speaking from experience; since I'm actually using some of those I can tell you that assumption doesn't hold in the real world.

It's a myth that programs written for interpreted/dynamic/scripting languages are automatically portable, because many nontrivial uses pull in FFI-based or otherwise compiled extensions, so a deployment package does include platform-specific code. I can't speak for Django but this is definitely the case for Rails: a Rails application that's been bundled with its dependencies for deployment in Lambda includes x86-64 binaries. I just checked one of our standard templates, and it has 18 gems using compiled extensions. I'm reasonably sure I'd find similar if I go look through our Node stuff, and in any case, it's a documented concern[1].

The point being, where they don't already have it, such AWS services will likely add platform/arch metadata to their deployment packaging, and users shouldn't assume a seamless transition when the option to switch becomes available.

The result gets worse when you consider that $15K is probably not how much extra you would spend for a larger car, unless your two options were subcompact and full-size. Also, 8 years is 2/3 of what a typically abused car lasts, if you optimize for ROI you can easily get twice that.
I've always wondered why we haven't done more of this. Why not put cameras on eagles, jaguars, pythons, etc and see what their lives really are like rather than studying them in captivity mostly.

If you're doing anything through the GUI, that is absolutely problematic - for all the reasons you mention. You should be using CloudFormation or Terraform exclusively and configure nothing through the GUI.

The Apache templating language is awful, no question.
I tried the Google mesh router and returned it. Performance was Ok. Not any better than a mid-tier home router for a third of the cost. But main issue was that all the configuration has to be done via the Home mobile app. No web interface for configuration. Also things like port forwarding or setting isp static ip options are hidden away and only available after initial setup has completed. which again , is a wizard UI on a mobile app and provides very little control.
Thanks! That's an awesome idea I hadn't thought of. Is there anybody in particular I should reach out to?

And thanks for the bug report too :)

We have build our apps and create a lambda zip file and deploy it out of band of our Terraform. We just upload the zip file to S3 after deploy and if Terraform runs and makes a change to the Lambda, it deploys the most recently deployed version automatically.

We did this so we could totally separate our applications and the infrastructure as code stuff since infrastructure changes at a drastically slower rate than applications.

It would seem more reasonable to limit commercial activities (i.e. resale) than the rights of individuals to grow food.

FWIW, 15 MPG would be low for my F150. A Volvo wagon gets 25 MPG, for example. This ain't the 70s :).
I don’t see how it’s a straw man. I was only using your own words.

Ok. Rewording: more purchasing power buys a nicer home in a nicer area and lower purchasing power in a less nice area with not as much amenities.

It is entirely acceptable and rational. What does human rights have to do with it. Your average start up CEO/founder(‘royalty’)can live in a nicer home than a Walmart greeter(‘peasantry’)

Women didn’t have voting rights at one time. Neither did indentured slaves. Is this true anymore?

Flirc, Argon Neo, then all the generic billet Aluminium passive cases, all of which are in the ~$20-25 AUD range (whereas this one is almost $50 AUD).

This stinks of blogspam to try sell their new overpriced case.

Not to mention, like you said, with the recent updates that have made incredible progress in dropping the temps, any generic cheap passive case is fine even for quite heavy use. I have multiple Pi's (3s and 4s) running 24/7 and a few doing quite heavy loads (transcoding, etc) all with cheap Aluminium passive cases and have had zero issues since the firmware updates.

If you actually enjoy owning the car/blender, sure, knock yourself out. But my impression is that a lot of people buy these things thinking they'll bring them joy, and they actually end up with a closet full of junk that they never use weighing them down.

I moved last year and got rid of a lot of stuff; to my surprise, not only do I not miss the things I got rid of, I find myself wishing I'd kept less.
> It was the massacres Ashoka committed in the war against Kalinga that supposedly turned him Buddhist. Every other empire in human history has also committed huge atrocities, so much that it's almost tautological.

Do you think modern times are any different?

Can you count the civilians death in Palestine, Iraq, Afganistan and many other places where USA and its allies bombed and bombs regularly. Talk of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it’s more brutal and worse than Kalinga which transformed Ashoka. Did this transform USA (its allies) or it’s political establishments?

Here not even talking about WWI and WWII. So don’t think living in a bubble unaffected by these can legitimise the tyranny of majority or democracy or communism which propelled to kill millions of others with different beliefs.

> but political structure still exists

Yes they are based on majoritarian views and politics at the expense of muzzling the minority.

We need a modern revolution based on science and humanity, removing the artificial barriers created by us, but anyways I know I am dreaming.
That is true for many, and even 20wpm is overkill for some applications such as editing poetry. Fast typing is not a widespread skill.

However, some do benefit from the increased speed, some increase the speed of their thinking to match their potential output. Others benefit from the reduced delay between thinking and writing or editing a thought, analogous in software to working with a fast compile time or a dynamic repl.
About 40 years ago, my wife was at a nutrition research seminar. A nutrition survey to be undertaken in China was being presented by a Chinese scholar. Someone asked what sort of sampling scheme they were planning on using. The Chinese scholar was puzzled, and seemed confused by the question. It became clear after a moment that there was no sampling scheme. They were going to survey all 1B+ Chinese.
