I recently started a historical time-series weather data api based on ERA5/GFS and your story really resonated with me. Similarly, I don't come from weather background and initially built it for my work with building energy analysis, with service live but still at an extremely early stage.

i guess my question would be about the analogy

in these analogies, the balloon surface is made of rubber, or the stretchy thing is made of whatever stretchy things are made of

is space something tangible? what is it made of? what is its physical property? how can it stretch?
How do you feel about coding without generics now, and what do you think about Go's ambition to add them?

I'm coming from a C# mindset and thinking of learning Go, but I'm so used to generics...
It happened under his first term, so I don't see exactly see the room for doubt regarding a second term.
Yeah that's a fun name for it. It is often a useful style:

map (not . elem [2,3]) [1,2,3,4] ===> [True,False,False,True]

or

grep foo bar.txt | wc -l

Also chaining in OOP is a bit "pointless", in that it doesn't mention the "points":

foo.bar().baz()

But, like most things, it's best _in moderation_.

The tornado trick doesn't work if you don't combine it with the Von Neumann trick, though.

> What we’re going to do is take 5 coins, ideally all of different shapes and sizes, and put them into a large cup. You want the cup to be large so that as you shake the coins around, the coins get jumbled in a highly random way. Give the cup 5 good shakes where the coins are tumbling around, and then dump the coins out and count the number of heads. If there are an even number of heads, record a ‘0’ for the random bit. If there are an odd number of heads, record a ‘1’ for the random bit.

Consider the extreme case where all of the coins have a 0.1% chance of coming up heads: you have a 99.501% chance of getting 5 heads (odd), 0.498% chance of getting 4 heads and 1 tails (even), a 0.001% chance of getting 3 heads and 2 tails (odd), and a vanishingly small chance of getting 3 or more tails.

So if you use the tornado trick with 5 coins that biased, your "random" bitstring is going to look something like "11111111111111...".

Thanks - that means I did this incorrectly :( Hopefully I'll be able to correct it with the help of the author of a sibling comment, and I suppose I'll file an issue against StreetComplete to see if they'd prefer to clarify it.
Every single news "article" has been designed that way since Mar 2020 and yet a surprising amount of people with questionable intellectual capacity have endorsed the news, including the self-proclaimed intellectual elite of HN.

Supporting a piece of information only when it aligns with your views and opinions is not very rational and objective, is it? It's playing double-standards or just being a hypocrite.

To say that this should be disregarded because it only affects a small amount of people is like saying C19 should be disregarded because it only affects a small amount of people. I guess drawing parallels doesn't work well with majority.
That is the most shocking part, but it's not the emphasis of the rant - it's the added value that gives the author credibility.

Please note that I'm coming from a 3rd world country, Google probably has my university well below it's radar, and I know people from there hired by Google (in double-digit numbers). So not being on the "A list" is quite normal for a vast majority of the world, yet you can make it happen.

On a personal note - I interviewed and got reject by Google, but I'm a white male so I do think they actually rejected me because of my performance and not because of my other attributes.
This is not an improvement over just using the click-to-login features of modern password managers.

Modern password managers generate strong random passwords and integrate with login forms in your desktop browser and on your mobile device. There are some exceptions with sites or applications that don't behave well, but as a general rule: you should not ever need to know any of your passwords anyway.

You should be clicking on whatever little icon is attached to login forms so that your password manager can autofill it for you. There shouldn't be an opportunity to add something to a password during login; you're just adding friction to a process that should be as frictionless as possible, because friction causes people to make bad decisions.

If the concern is that someone might be able to access your password manager, you should think harder about what it would mean for someone to have that level of access to your devices or data.

> [What if] your master password (the password to your password manager) is compromised...

Remote access for cloud-sync'd password managers should all have 2FA enabled anyway. You shouldn't be using anything even remotely simple for your master password. Local access to your password manager means you're screwed.

> [What if] someone gained temporary access to your unlocked system (computer or phone) when you stepped away

This is weird. Is this a thing? Are there people with private data in public environments who don't have the presence of mind to take their devices with them in to the bathroom but do have the presence of mind to dick about with their passwords every time they have to sign in to something? I'd pretty comfortably wager there's a much larger real risk from skilled phishing than from somebody in a hoodie rushing over while you're on the can regretting last night's last-minute Taco Bell trip.

Founder here. Because of our first product (a "design to code" platform) [1], we've been talking to customers (mainly web agencies and small business owners) about what would be the easiest way to build and launch websites without writing code.

Why should you have to design first in a specific design tool? Why go from "design to code" in the first place? Many startups have questioned this and built great tools to help solve the problem (e.g. Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, etc etc).

This seems like a solved problem, right?

Well, it turns out people want something simpler... like the tool they use everyday for virtually everything [2]. This was the moment we decided to focus 100% on a new tool: a Google Docs to build and launch websites.

To be honest the product is still in an early stage. There are basic features that aren't implemented (like version history, multi-page websites or collaboration). But I thought it could help someone publish their website faster. There's always that domain we bought for that project we never used... You could try it here [3].

The benefits of keeping a learning journal
This whole move towards renewables, electric cars, green energy is great. However I am not sure it can realistically happen without some huge (not incremental) breakthrough in the battery/electronics technology.

Let's look on UK only plan for this, If they to replace all currently used cars with electric ones (assuming they use the most resource-frugal next-generation batteries), it would take the following:

- 207,900 tonnes of cobalt - just under twice the annual global production
- 264,600 tonnes of lithium carbonate (LCE) - three quarters the world's production
- at least 7,200 tonnes of neodymium and dysprosium - nearly the entire world production of neodymium
- 2,362,500 tonnes of copper - more than half the world's production in 2018

Without defending the poster’s point about fascism 2.0 too much, I’d like to point out that Fascism isn’t equivalent to genocide or nazis. It’s a political ideology against a liberal democracy, characterized by ultra-nationalism, corporatism, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Some would argue that a government governing in close ties with corporations against the wishes and interests of the population at large is a form of fascism. Sort of like the society shown in the move Robocop.

Reddit has plenty of discussion about violently overthrowing, imprisoning or murdering anyone anyone who is currently "too rich" like Jeff Bezos. Strangely the American redditor seem unaware that the rest of the world might also claim their wealth.
I wouldn’t call IRC or Email “social networks”, or even platforms at all, really. Email is more of a direct person-to-person communication platform, similar to SMS in that it isn’t really used to “publish” stuff, outside of spam (which is the worst part of email) and mailing lists (which you ostensibly have to sign up for, or else it’s spam.)

IRC is a bit more in the middle, but it’s never had much of a critical mass outside of maybe EFNet? The rest of the IRC world is too fragmented to even call it one social network. And I would say moderation problems are directly proportional to the scale of the network (EFNet has its trolls, especially in its heyday.)

Usenet has always had a huge problem with trolls... again, proportional to its usage. It was only “good” back when the internet was very young and there was such a thing as “netiquette”. See also the eternal September.

Yeah, but I don't want to do all that. I stopped using reddit.
Yea.

Once you have good domain boundaries you can use microservices to make the split more visible for less thoughtful devs and use the associated tooling (contract testing, ... ) to reduce operational coupling around deployments and tests.

But aside from that, anything you can do with microservices you can also do in monoliths.
I watched "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" [1] recently, besides knowing his stubborn character and artist life, and the work they do at Studio Ghibli is pretty outstanding, as terms of time, effort and dedication. There is also an indie movie, "Never Ending Man" [2] they shot after he suddenly announced his retirement at the age of 72, but later came back with his first CGI project. Years of hand-drawing, an old man through his digital transformation

Studio Ghibli also released all their posters and stills [3] from its animations.

As far as I can tell, FB does not actually have a public definition of misinformation. Not long ago, I wanted to see how they defined it and tried to look it up. Searching led me to “fake news” and I learned that they call “fake news” “false news” and that if you search across Facebook.com and fb.com for “false news is” you get about 6,000 results, none of which are a definition of false news. If anyone has found a definition of these terms somewhere on Facebook please link!

I think the future is allowing people to find and connection with their tribe. The rising rates of depression I think is caused by isolation.[1]

I think technology can be used to first of all less our load so that we have time to meetup. For instance, the use of robotic technology. Robotic kitchen are becoming a thing[2].

It can also lessen the cost of meeting up by improving fuel efficiency and efficient routing.

Also, technology can be used to identify persons whose values and interest align with yours.

Hopefully in the future, it would be a less lonely place.

Very true.

But there is still a lot of architecture that crosses microservice boundaries: How the domain is split, the dependency hierarchy (or lack thereof) between services, data lifecycles, ...

It's important not to forget that.

Perhaps we just imagine different things, but I like when code is a list of human-readable calls to functions. The implementation of these functions isn't so important to understanding the code you're reading.

I have been working in couple organizations where I have thoroughly explained why we should undo the "microservices" approach and go back to monolythic application.

Basically, the problem is that in most cases going to microservices is being pushed by management to complete exclusion of understanding whether the organization is ready to implement it.

Microservices require that you have mature approach to many topics. You need to really have nailed down automated deployments and you really need to have nailed down automatically creating development infrastructure.

In one company I had a tool where I could log in, give a new project name, click couple parameters like namespace and a completely new microservice would be generated with BitBucket, Jira, automated deployments, confluence space, etc.

If you need to spend time to configure anything individually for a project, to do deployments, etc., you are not yet ready to do microservices.

So in all those cases where we have scaled back on microservices the developers switched from developing the application to being full time engaged with managing the application and its numerous configurations.

In one of the applications we had 140 services rolled back to one. Before, preparing the deployment would take 2 weeks as the developers would be sending and compiling emails with information what needed to be done where. Then the deployment would take one day as an engineer would be executing all those runbook instructions. Each of the 140 services had its own version which made ensuring correct versions a separate problem.

After the change where we have rolled it all into a single service under a single version, the entire thing took 2h. Still manually, but way cheaper and more reliably.
