> Isn't it though? At least if it's intentional.

No, it isn't. You can be unkind and peaceful. Civilization is based on the possibility that people who hate each other can still work together for the common good. Intentional kindness is often disgustingly hypocritical, at least in my (non-U.S.) culture.
Anyone have more literature on the alleged "Galactic Federation" that he claims exists?
Not who you replied to, but in my experience, if you play Factorio, your mind will be racing with ideas for projects and things you can do in Factorio.
you use the term gender dysphoria, is it more productive if I use that instead of body dysmorphia?

there seems like there can be significant overlap in an individual, but when discussing transitioning exclusively is it that gender dysphoria conveys the topic more specifically?
Ok' so nothing new then, just a wider reaching article.
To add onto this, what do you think you're doing when you're not in a room all alone with your thoughts? You're still thinking. It's not like I can't watch a YouTube video and think to myself at the same time.

I think the aversion I have to being alone with my thoughts is the feeling that doing that won't help me. It's sort of like a neural network that I'd alone with its weights with no inputs to process except itself. I feel when I think to myself alone, I can't make any decisions because what I know is already what I knew before I started thinking to myself. Yo make decisions, I need external answers to questions. I need new information and evidence to start me to some conclusion.

Where does this end? Bestiality? How about post birth abortion. Keep the baby for a few days to determine if you really want to abort or not. How about multi-gender where the left half of your body is cis and the right is transgender?

Hardware can go bad and connections can loosen over time. I've had drives disappear only from the cable coming loose. Unplugging and plugging back in solved the issues. My current desktop is only report 48GB RAM when there's 64 installed. Undoubtedly at least one of the 8 DIMMs has become unseated or gone bad, but I've been too lazy to troubleshoot because I don't use that much currently.
Imagine that you had a time-delayed cache lookup. If a web server sent different payloads (perhaps a time stamp) on each request, and set the cache control header to be fairly long, you could determine if something was coming out of a shared cache, or if it was fresh. Hence, we need it to be cached per site (unfortunately)

I agree, it is absurd to say that 1984 uses an unreliable narrator (and any other Orwell writings for that matter, it's just not his style).
Just browsed the table of contents and was both happy and surprised to see an entire chapter dedicated to the UI.

How big is the sample application in the book? I've read a lot about DDD but things just don't seem to click for me, partly because example are trivial. For example, I read "Architecture Patterns with Python" (https://www.cosmicpython.com/book/preface.html) but just didn't find it practical. Some random thoughts I had while reading, in no particular order:

* what if domain logic can be optimized in the database?

* how do joins across multiple tables work?

* in Django I've come across plenty of examples where you have property method on a model that goes and performs additional queries. For instance, something along the lines of `my_post.get_latest_comment()`. Should this instead be somewhere in the service layer?
My understanding is that therapy alone is less effective at securing long term happiness compared to therapy and transitioning. Anything to do with your brain is simultaneously all in your head by definition and also real.
Have you looked into temporal.io/cadence workflow? They seem to implement the event sourcing pattern in a structured way.
What's funny to me is that this topic comes up A LOT. Like, people hear about entanglement, and then decide they are smarter than those dumb physicists and have figured out FTL communication in 15 minutes.

Why is that? This keeps happening. Quantum entanglement is not a new concept. It's almost certainly older than 99.9% of the people on this site. Yet the myth that it could enable FTL communcation continues to persist.
Random off topic...

This actually has happened with some words coming to English, because of the ‘a’ vs ‘an’ rule when preceding a consonant or a vowel.

A great example of this is the word ‘an apron’ and ‘a napkin’ come from the same old French word ‘naperon’. For some reason in one case the ‘n’ transferred from one form of the word vs. not in the other, I believe that’s referred to as faulty separation, and there are a bunch of other words that it happened with as well.
That's not the point.

Those personalized ads may be very useful, but they require extremely invasive tracking that the user does not necessarily consent to. On desktop I can use uBlock Origin and Firefox to block as much tracking as possibile, on mobile the Facebook SDK is embedded everywhere and it's very difficult to escape from it.

If there was a way to opt out of tracking I would have no problems with Facebook, I don't even use it. I hope this iOS change will come to Android too.
You can solve anything by adding a layer of abstraction - except having too many layers of abstraction.

"Serverless" always reminds me of CGI/fastcgi, which was still a thing the last time I wrote web apps for money. It had the advantage of "scaling to zero" and could run a huge number of low-usage apps on a single 2000-era server.
It really comes down to who you trust. I don’t see were Facebook has made any moves in the privacy sphere that has engendered trust at any level. They’ve seem to have instead gone to the extreme to disregard privacy, while talking out of the other side of their mouth.

Are you me? I have a similar story - studied before smart phones were a thing. I eventually grew tired of my iPod, and the 2 hour commute both ways to and from school led to some deep transit thinking. Being able to just sit and gaze at passing trees for hours on end really teaches some finer meaning of life. I cannot really explain what that meaning is, but I can attest that I'm ready for whatever lies ahead, good or bad.

The Scarlet Letter goes digital.
The reason I didn't use body dysmorphia is because body dysmorphia applies to more than transgender individuals.

Gender-related body dysmorphia is somewhat unique because unlike the general case, therapy hasn't been shown to be effective in treating it.

Gender dysphoria is a broader term and includes body dysmorphia.
> True. I made an assumption that the app is built that way. Of course, if te app architecture inherently unscalable, no amount of computing power or private servers is going to help.

Isn't it usually a mistake to design your app to be scalable to 10,000 users when all you may ever have is 10?

But you're always "doing something" no matter if it's at the beach, in a room, laying on your bed, or in a solitary confinement prison. We are always cognizant of the fact that we are in some environment unless we are sleeping. But then when we sleep, the mind conjures up all sorts of scenarios and crazy environments without giving us a cohesive chance of actually "thinking".

From brief reading it seems like therapy and ensuring that the young person has arrived at a mental state and maturity prior to beginning any medical treatment while proceeding prior getting too far into puberty is the current ethical standard. Maturity isn't binary its a spectrum. I don't understand why we can't proceed sensibly according to ethical standards and help people without giving random confused preteens hormones based on a 10 minute interview. This article reads as alarmist.

Of course, for some people sterility is not a problem. For some, it is a massive problem.

Parents have a right to force their beliefs onto their children if their beliefs are reasonable. Their children will often thank them for it when they've become adults.

You're dismissing sterility as a non-issue when it is a massive issue for many people, and moreover, you're obfuscating the fact that this is about children, and the potential to undergo life-altering treatment with no psychiatric evaluation and little-to-no consultation.
Well, rest assured that for at least some noobies they will still remember their first.

For me, it was ~ 2 - 3 years ago, I had just bought myself a new laptop.

I knew what Linux was from some experience with a raspberry pi, and wanted to try it on my main machine, so I installed Fedora as a dual boot.

I've only booted Windows on that(this) machine twice, and no longer have it installed.

Edit: The installer itself was graphical and mouse clicks, but X11 did not play well with optimus graphics at the time, so I found myself offline using man pages and tmux very quickly. Daily drove TUI only for a couple weeks before I sat down and fixed X. Hopefully this counts.
Returns on investment in automation increase with the scale of the system being automated. Therefore, automation promotes centralization of control.

Besides seeing through clouds and at night, you can often correlate images taken at different times and detect tiny movements (of fractions of a millimeter). This technique is called "interferometry". You can observe minute movements of large swaths of terrain; this is impossible with optical images.

Agreed. Assimilation takes effort on both sides. What I mean is that immigrants no longer have to renounce their identity in order to fit in in a lot of America. Nor should they.
> The big reason why Apple Silicon is so damn fast is because they were able to shape the design at modeling time exclusively around Mac system level workloads

Is that really the case? My understanding was that M1 is fast because it's able to keep the chip saturated with instructions due to a large L1 cache and wide instruction decoders. Is anything about that specific to mac workloads?

>introverts make the best leaders

To be a good leader, you have to be willing to confront AND navigate conflict within a group setting in a productive manner that ultimately achieves an agreed upon goal. One of the defining traits of an introvert is avoiding conflict. Thus, no, introverts don't INHERENTLY make good leaders. If you've ever dealt with even a moderately diverse group of individuals due to their capabilities (not in the sense of level of skill, but range of skills), you'd know that the motivations of individuals vary wildly. Even if they are similar, they're oddly unique in their own ways at their own times. Regardless of your unicorn-fart fantasies, extrovert personalities are better equipped to handle groups with varying motivations to achieve the same goal. Not to say introverts can't be good or even great leaders. To name one, Eisenhower was an introvert and he is regarded as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century for a multitude of reasons. Leadership takes intent and purposeful practice/training for them to achieve. The absolution concept that they're the "best" just means you've never been in even a mild range of real world team projects. You would have seen many easily fall apart in the midst of dealing with somewhat strenuous situations. It's an easier absolution that extroverts make the best leaders, yet even that is untrue. It just takes extroverts less practice to achieve "great" than it does for introverts since they already possess a lot of the skill sets that introverts are lacking. Ultimately, leaders are made, not born.
Thanks but I've never been a person to accept charity. Basically, I grew up in USA as a Canadian Citizen cause parents moved to USA when I was young. Lived in a really bad area of Michigan from childhood to adulthood. I now finally live in Quebec away from that dreaded past. Yah life isn't worth living as my other comments somewhat explain.

In Canada I haven't had success getting surgeries coverage for fixing either my voice or face from what characteristics people gender me. I tried for a few years to get coverage and even appealed my insurance's decision against my psychiatrist's letter saying the surgeries are medically necessary. I went to a surgeon that's the head surgeon for the surgeries transwomen get and he said none of his colleagues understand Gender Dysphoria to know why the surgeries should be medically necessary. The public insurance only cares about the surgeon's opinion.

So I've basically given up on coverage. I find it even more irritating nowadays since I've read about the common cancers when I was diagnosed. Women that get breast cancer have no problems getting full coverage for breast reconstruction under the public insurance. I think that obviously should be a thing but it feels like added sting to my situation since I've not even had success with breasts from HRT by starting after puberty.

Anyway I tried enough I think and worked hard, but life just never wanted things to work out. I think I'm just cursed in life so MAiD makes sense. The judgement is found here for the coverage request if you're interested: http://citoyens.soquij.qc.ca/php/decision.php?ID=C97168147E6...
While I agree, I personally give HN a pass due to the fact that conversation is typically better here and the fact that it's technically focused.
I guess. But then Anthos, Arc, EKS Anywhere, they're all horizontal, and so it's odd that they are also all run by the cloud providers themselves. I'd think those services would be the next layer, run by different companies.

Still, what you said is right. I mean, heroku still exists, but the ever present complaints are that it's too expensive at scale and that it is too constraining. So, maybe the vertical is the best approach.
A lot of it has to do with the stricter requirements on ordering of memory operations on x86 right?
At least apple hardware quality seems to be making a swing back into he upwards direction. Finally considering replacing my 2015 mbp
Synology 918+, (and presumably the very similar 1019+ and 920+) is great for this - at a fairly steep price. It really does 'just work'. I added more ram to take it to 12gb so that the containers had plenty of headroom.

Love the article and the perspective.

Don't think the general notion that serverless is either a return to the past or a negative development is true.

Long feedback loops seem to be more of an issue with a lack of engineering discipline where I've worked. Implementing a comprehensive, fast test suite is up to the team to build, not AWS. Serverless is a tool like any other that needs to be used in a responsible manner.

If you're using cloud features that geniunely cannot be tested locally or quickly I would reconsider using more stable technologies that are perhaps enhanced by your cloud provider instead of totally replaced by them. _You_ are responsible for creating a short feedback loop regardless of your deployment environment.

I've been using serverless in both GCP and AWS for many years now and have helped migrate mid sized startups onto those platforms for event processing and API build. In that time I've seen bills go from thousands of dollars to a few dollars a month.

Mid sized startups are now able to compete in data heavy fields precisely because of technologies like serverless that have enabled small teams to build scalable systems. When you work in transaction processing or analytics I think you'll understand that scalability directly limits how many customers your platform can support.

Interactive Computing with Categorical Machines (Part 2)
Another related quote from Pensées: "The only thing that consoles us for our miseries is distraction, yet that is the greatest of our wretchednesses. Because that is what mainly prevents us from thinking about ourselves and leads us imperceptibly to damnation. Without it we should be bored, and boredom would force us to search for a firmer way out, but distraction entertains us and leads us imperceptibly to death."
You might be trying to apply a business/market principle to domains where they probably are not fitting. Eg specialization has its place in nature, but there is also the problem of overfitting, and those beings usually die out if their environment changes slightly.

Packs of wolves do automatically specialize their individuals (eg alpha wolf spends more time looking after the others) - but the crucial part is that their roles change. If the alpha dies, another individual has to take their place, or the group becomes unbalanced and will probably die because of it. They are not necessarily „gifted“ at being an alpha, but they might be just good enough.

I also cannot imagine helping anybody move who laughed into my face when it was my turn. I actually cannot imagine being their friend at all, but that’s just me maybe.
If anything it's made me more interested in micro-PC's. I have been playing a lot with Raspberry Pi's lately, and the M1 shows how much better we could do in that form factor. Why can't I have an Apple Silicon SOC the size of an iPhone, with the battery and screen replaced with a heat sync and a couple of ports?
Articles like this try to project earlier failures on current progress.

Yes, serverless shares some conceptual similarities with older development models.

However, the tooling, infrastructure, languages, and general support for server less as a productive model make these conversations seem naive and mostly just "old man yells at cloud".

I am an old developer, and comparing platforms like vercel and netlify functions to 70's mainframe dev is just dishonest.
That's not a study. That's an anecdote.

I've been told by my Oncologist I only have a year left to live if I don't get treatment. That was back in October. There's really no reason to live as a disfigured person for all people. Some people can do it and I respect those individuals. I rather continue just taking morphine (otherwise I cannot walk) and get assisted dying after the snow melts. I feel like I've enjoyed enough of this life that I could. I'll email you if you don't mind my mentality, I always like to write to someone about anything. It's my favorite way to pass the time.
All life stems from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
I suspect one side aspect of the "integration" angle for Apple was that they were able to force the "recompile the world" moment on demand.

How much performance do you get by taking, say, code originally written for a 10-year-old compiler whose default target was vanilla i486, and build wuuth a recently built compiler? I'd expect wins from targeting a more modern instruction set, plus 10 years of general "we've learned more about optimization".

Microsoft can't do that without an architecture change, and if they do that, they're basically abandoning their primary push to consumers: your established software and workflow investments are no longer safe on Windows.
