Agree with all of this. I think the reason you're getting so much pushback is that you started this conversation with "not sure where the problem is". Clearly you do see the problem - AWS encourages beginners to get going as quickly as possible with these tutorials and the free tier, but then makes it difficult for those users to avoid unexpected charges. They should either stop encouraging beginners, or start offering easy ways to protect yourself.

Sorry, the brevity of that comment apparently didn't convey my point well enough. Real estate is an example of what you theorized would happen with coffee beans. It is a useful resource that is also used for speculative investment. It is something everyone needs, but as a society we have decided its price should also always be increasing. This has a net negative impact on society.

Bitcoin existing doesn't stop people from speculatively investing in real estate, so I don't think people will just start speculating on coffee beans or something similar if Bitcoin goes away.
Being able to build and view docs locally is a good idea, thank you. If you have some ideas as to what that workflow would be like it would be great if you could open an issue on GitHub

Just create a web based adventure game (you can export HTML/CSS with Twine for text based adventure games), encode the URL as a QR code and simply swap those with people?
No, but it's an important distinction to make since NG produces half the emissions of coal for the same energy output. Using an NG plant to mine Bitcoin is stupid enough, no need to lie to make it seem even worse.

I’ve been getting into stoicism lately and finding it enormously therapeutic. I don’t even know if it’s the philosophy itself as much as it is knowing that other human beings have been struggling with the same questions I have for thousands of years. If it were a modern pop psychology self-help book I might actually hate it. But stoic writing hits me on that level.

A good way to have a look at Hasura (which I've come to really like).

Some features:

Strong typesafety from database schema, through GraphQL API to frontend (with generated GraphQL client code).

Define database schema with a UI that creates migrations! (to aid collaboration and deployments)

Hot code reloading in development mode.

Optimized (pre-gzipped) production builds, served by Nginx in production mode.
That's a very good point. Bit of a shame to only learn the importance of it after it shuts down. Is there any alternative?

> Judging by how most people write code today, I find this idea terrifying.

Writing code is not a single activity, it is a modern means of communication and information transmission. Code is written for a vast range of purposes, some better suited to less rigorous programmers than others. No-one is asking or expecting the authors of bad code that you have in mind to formalize legal systems. The latter task will be on the rigorous side of programming, presumably leaning heavily on static type checking / automated theorem proving.
I agree! Apple seems to be forgetting that support does not equal a horrible user experience: they can simply set it to this default by default.

Sounds like an essay to state Arthur C. Clarke's "First Law":

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

...which really just boils down to "it's probably possible".

Here are the three:

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I'd like for it to be more popular but as it is there's nobody to chat with and the one team I created is long defunct. I still look at it once in a while to look at the 75$ worth of stellar they handed out a while ago. Jumped to 750 Euro in the last days. It's been up and down like that for the last few months. Basically somebody farts in the bitcoin community and other coins go up or down by 20-30%. It's completely random and hype driven at this point. Too bad because Stellar actually has a bit of serious use cases. But I could not claim with a straight face that has anything to do with its current value.

The Zoom acquihire kind of destroyed any ambitions Keybase had. I was disappointed when it happened because it had some potential. But of course Zoom doesn't look like they care enough to do anything productive with keybase. This seems more like an acquihire to bail out the investors than Zoom doing anything with their new hires. At least I wouldn't be able to name a single thing that happened to Zoom since the acquisition that you could attribute to that.

Too bad really, because it kind of makes sense for Zoom to compete more directly with Slack, MS Teams, Google Meets,etc. Kind of a crowded market to be a one trick pony like Zoom currently is. IMHO they need to evolve to stay relevant. Their product is alright but not that remarkable.

2. Usually the discussion or writing would not be limited to ADOS. I’ve very rarely seen writers attempt to divide the community like that. As I said though, I’m fine with capitalizing it if that community wants it.

You could make a lot of the same statements about “whites” becoming one community in america. That said I don’t think capitalizing the W looks good, it’s weird and seems like something a white supremacist would do.
These two parts seem contradictory:

> "Most implausible-sounding ideas are in fact bad and could be safely dismissed. But not when they're proposed by reasonable domain experts."

I feel like he's prematurely dismissing the idea of dismissing an idea based on who proposes it because of who he's imagining doing (proposing) it, if that makes sense.
I agree that it's one of the best litmus tests we have regarding moral critical thinking.

Interesting perspective from your 2018 comment - thanks for linking it.

I am fascinated by the difference between your experience and mine when hunting a Clojure gig.

When I made my comment, I was wondering how quickly someone would make exactly the response you made - no judgement intended. It's been the standard response ("I easily got a Clojure job ... <details>") I have seen for years now.

It is just a very different experience than mine. I would love to have insight into the raw numbers of (devs-who-got-a-Clojure-job / devs-who-want-a-Clojure-job).

I will also second the insight that you can bring Clojure into an org as a problem solver and did exactly that in the early days of Clojure precisely because I was in a mostly silo-oriented organization.

I tried writing an answer, realized I suck at that, and so am providing a link that answers the question better than I can:

The takeaway is that streets and roads have different goals, and when that's not acknowledged we wind up with the misery that is driving in US towns.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know enough about circumcision to hold any kind of firm opinion on the matter. That said, my understanding has been that circumcision isn't just a religious practice, there are practical reasons too, namely hygiene.

There's plenty of examples where we do what's "best" for kids without their consent. Vaccines for example. So I don't really buy this "their body" argument, although I respect the merits.

Taxes do not work linearly like you seem to think.

If you double the tax rate, you won't double the tax revenue. There's a big chance that the revenue would go down.

Another thing is, that money is not the wealth; productivity is. So if you want to pay UBI to everyone and want to keep the same purchase power of the dollar, you have to preserve productivity at the national level (GDP is a measure; but you need that specific physical output as products and services, not money). Which you won't, if a part of population would stop working.
No it's not that, there's not a single blockchain based solution that achieves better results than a classical solution. Not a single one. Never has been. Not in 14 years. I'm open to one showing up! But, well, it hasn't.

And that's because there's a huge fundamental cost to trustlessness, decentralization and permissionlessness that substantially no project actually benefits from.

> I don't believe it's compelling speech by preventing candidates from being banished.

A law that mandates that I or anyone must broadcast a politician's opinion - this is a textbook example of compelling speech.

> How would more regulation amplify speech I like? Speech I like is not allowed period, that's the problem.

That isn't at all true. Google any opinion you like and you will find many media outlets that are already amplifying it.

However, you see other media outlets that aren't amplifying opinions you like. You advocate this FL law that aims to force them to. This a tyrannical effort.
Easier to get an maintain a website versus handing someone a cassette with a program on it? No, I think the program was easier.
In the span of just a few comments in the thread below, I've seen people claim that the ethical problem is:

1. All ads in general.

2. Targeted advertisement, regardless of the privacy implications.

3. Data collection for targeted advertisement.

4. Data collection for anything.

5. Whether or not users consent to all of the above.

So I don't really think it is fair for anybody to insist that there is a single agreed upon actual ethical problem in web advertising.
Language design is about what features not to include. If you include blocking IO, or allow unsound programs, disallow GC-less allocations, you are forcing a model of programming onto the user, which is a good thing. Node.js became a hit because it lacked the feature of blocking IO.

Having many choices available, and teams of maybe 50-100 good mates coming and going, and a period of 5-7 years, has a high likelihood of producing chaos code.

> The collapse of the Soviet Union was a disaster in itself.

A very positive "disaster" for multiple countries that were occupied by Russia since the end of the war. We regained our freedom and started to catch up to the NATO countries.

The nearly 50 year under Moscow's boot was a much bigger disaster and, although I was born in a communist state, I'm glad I could grow up in a now free and democratic country.
I’m going to conflate packaging with advertising here but I think it’s the same idea and a little easier to visualize:

Our cogniitive biases act as shortcuts to save energy when making decisions, and advertisers exploit those shortcuts. If you’re on high alert while shopping, catching and recalibrating for your biases at every step of the way then yeah you can probably escape most marketing but for most people that doesn’t come naturally.

If you’re not careful I bet you too slip up sometimes. I know I’ve caught myself at the grocery store reaching for one product over another just because it’s in unbleached cardboard packaging (signaling to me that it’s somehow more local or organic or whatever).

These tricks become obvious when you consciously work through them (ex: obviously some megacorp can package their items in cardboard the same way mom and pop small businesses can) but most of the time we aren’t processing consciously, and that’s how marketing works.
Here's a crazy idea for you: use SSL on your website!!
Based on what was wrote I don't think that's the case. He included some special conditions like:

>The monitor knows if I take the boat out when I turn on the main boat power and switches the small pump to auto and otherwise stops monitoring. But when the main power is back on, the pump will initially run every half hour and then every hour and then after about a day it will only be running once a day"

Though reading closer there are only two relays, and the author talks about controlling both the small pump and the fan with relays, and there is language around the large pump that while isn't conclusive, may indicate it is indeed on a separate float switch and system and the ESP32 is only involved in the monitoring of it.

> I have a large pump that only goes off if the small pump fails or the boat is trying to sink. If the float switch lifts, the monitor wakes up and sends an email alerting me.
They also dropped tons and tons of sand on the reactor core. I didn't read anything of sand below the reactor, so. My understanding is that they had two bio shields of concrete and some water tanks under the reactor.
Ubuntu has the advantage of having a clear distinction between uppercase i and lowercase L.

In Arial, they're indistinguishable. In Roboto, you can see the difference if they're right next to each other (l is longer than I). Segoe UI has different variants but the one I've found on the MS web site has very similar or identical lI's, just like San Francsico.

I know, fixed width fonts would fix that, but not everything that should will be in those. And especially on a programming website, that matters.

My bad, HN doesn't make obvious to screen readers who is answering to whom and I thought that you mean the comment with the Yugo radio programs.
My IMMEDIATE reaction to this was someone is gonna pay $50 a month to possibly make more money than that mining cryptos on the browser. JS crypto miners are already there now they just need to pay some numpty to run a browser somewhere with more resources. They're even offering GPU-level processing!
Not completely, but to a certain extent, yes. Like that sibling comment stated, there are certain important qualities for a good speculative investment like being easy to store, transport, and hold. Remember the point early in the pandemic in which a barrel of oil actually had a negative price? That is because it was difficult and costly to actually have ownership over the speculative resource. Bitcoin being so easy to own and transport makes it a much more attractive speculative investment in comparison to gold, oil, or steel so more people participate in the speculation.

I have never seen any law, ever, that came anywhere near close to "sufficiently clear".

Upthread there was a discussion of hundreds of pages going into something as trivially straightforward as the requirements of a financial contract. For something involving human behavior, there will always be billions of corner cases, exceptions, confounding events, and other factors leaving decisions open to a judgment call.

That's why lawyers spend years just learning to read the law, and then reading and synthesizing thousands of decisions that try to patch together all those inconsistencies and gaps. And even then, every case ultimately comes down to a judge's judgment call on which lawyer has done so more successfully... or worse, a jury of twelve people deliberately selected for their ignorance of the law.

Human beings are too squishy to write genuinely precise laws. Lawyers try to pretend otherwise, and that pretension is fundamental to trying to actually have a society. But let's not kid ourselves into thinking that any law is actually rigorous in a sense that a computer programmer, scientist, or logician would recognize.

I am a huge fan of feeding this kind of info into Home Assistant via MQTT. It’s a little convoluted since their data model is not what I expected it to be (each sensor has a device record, not the other way around), but overall I am able to read e.g. air quality measurements from around my house and create automations based on that.

I used to get various telemetry read outs via email in the mornings and while they are nice they still require me to remember to read an email and more importantly to notice that an email is missing. A more positive feedback system is more secure: send me an alarm notification when something is wrong the one day a year that it is, not 364 notifications a year that everything is right.
