To be fair, you need at least one hard-coded URL in your client, don't you? To hit the root entrypoint.

And if you have one hard-coded URL... and use it as the root of other URLs, then it's no hard to support than anything.

URLs are useful in REST because the API often crosses domain boundaries and company boundaries. One site links to another and so on. Most APIs are not like that.

In fact they're only like that when they serve, say, static image assets off a CDN, and guess what, then passing back a URL in your API is self-evident and natural.

But not for everything IMHO.

Houses are way over valued right now due to the lumber shortage and then are selling for inflated values on top of that due to demand following the pandemic. My house, according to Zillow, has increased in value over 20% since the start of the year and I could likely raise the selling price by another 10% if I were to put it on the market.

Tangent: My first job out of college was maintaining parts of one of these seemingly impeneterable legacy codebases. I was allowed to refactor and rewrite stuff, but only if bug-for-bug compatibility was retained. In retrospect, I think this was a blessing in disguise. It was good character-building, setting me up to follow good engineering practices from day one.
Personally I've had great success working slowly with an open babashka repl through the tutorials from aphyr: https://aphyr.com/tags/Clojure-from-the-ground-up - everything else didn't really stick for me, but I probably didn't invest enough time. Especially the first few articles helped a lot to clear up misconceptions for a newbie to lisp. I remember reading the linked article but it didn't worked for me.

I've dived around the Phi Phi Island area some years ago, and was privileged enough to see zebra sharks[1] basking on a raised sandy bank, their tails undulating in the current. They are beautiful creatures.

> The flu "epidemic" never ended. The common cold epidemic never ended.

It's almost like you didn't read the article because the point was made very clear that the "epidemic" does end when it transitions to something "endemic".

Most people wouldn't regard the common cold as an epidemic as you suggest it is. You're correct that we still live with it, but that doesn't make it an epidemic. As daily deaths continue falling at some point people will stop seeing COVID-19 as an epidemic but something that's endemic and treat it more like seasonal flu. It's not the eradication of the virus that marks the end of a epidemic, but it's declining severity and our changing approach to the virus.

Inflation models may be more mainstream; unfortunately, the evidence for inflation is rather thin. Inflation is a "theory" that purports to explain the unexpected smoothness of the cosmic microwave background.

It is not a good theory, because it makes no predictions that are testable, even in principle. I think the unexpected smoothness of the CMB is evidence that the big bang theory is not correct; fixing the big bang theory by bolting on inflation looks to me like mathematical voodoo.

Not limited to Sci-Fi shows. I recall watching the first shows of CSI back in 2000 and thinking how dumb it was for the techs to work in those horribly dark labs.

I actually pondered this recently, as I watched an indie film where all the shots where lit quite realistically, meaning people had nice bright offices etc.

And it struck me that even though this lighting looked more proper, in terms of that's how an office would look if someone worked in it, it just didn't look as good or interesting as those with more contrast ala CSI.

I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably easier to get an interesting look with more shadows rather than less.
Constant vaccination? Are we all collectively forgetting all the vaccines we received as children...? The fact we’ve eradicated most childhood viruses because we vaccinated the general population? None of this is new.

> Most importantly, it defeated the USSR

I just hurt my eyes from rolling them _so hard._

The USSR collapsed because it was a wildly inefficient system that was unable to provide goods and services to its people.

In order to believe your wild statement you have to believe a lot of huge implausibilities, like the idea that the USSR would not have spent money on their military if not for the Americans, which would literally make them the ONLY empire in history to do that.

Particularly hard to believe is the idea that if Reagan hadn't spent trillions on thoroughly useless weapons, the USSR would have magically flourished.

> This is due to the fact that the specification of the PNG has a sliding window of 32 kB for performance reasons.

It’s a bit of a shortcut: in reality PNG uses DEFLATE, and it’s DEFLATE which has a 32kB window.

And it’s not exactly performance reasons but memory budget, especially as deflate was designed for streaming, both when compressing and decompressing: when decompressing you need a buffer at least as large as the window, and when compressing you need that plus most likely an index of some sort (so you don’t have to look for matches linearly through the buffer).

This is more relevant with the context that Phil Katz created deflate in 1991, high-end desktops reached high single-digit megabytes of RAM but the low end might not even be there (Windows 3.0 required 1MB to run decently).

By comparison, if memory serves zstd uses a window of 8MB (or 16 depending on setting), though configurable anywhere from 1k to 512MB
Yes maybe I should've been clear that I meant in general. I did check the link and from the lesson titles it's clear that its very generic, and the additional links to resources available point me toward "Control + Perception".

Still, those with say, a more mechanical engineering background that are interested in the mechanic/design aspect robotics would still be more confused by a "Introduction to Robotics" title like this.

Your post is typical example of self-righteous and egotistical attitude of cyclists. Making cars less safe would make other people suffer more, and riding with pedestrians would endanger the pedestrians. How can one even suggest to explicitly increase danger that way for others in order to decrease danger for themselves?. Instead, I'd suggest the cyclists look at themselves. In my experience (Bay Area, mostly PA/MV/Sunnyvale) cyclists are less educated in traffic rules, less respectful of those rules and less polite than any other traffic participants - from riding wrong side of the road and riding on sidewalks to riding while reading smartphone to flying over STOPs to angrily banging on my car for taking over the bike lane before right turn as rules dictate (yep, hard to believe, yet it is true - i'm standing waiting for cross traffic to pass, and that cyclist instead of waiting behind me squeezes between me and the sidewalk while several times angrily banging on my car's roof while making the face - the poor moron had obviously no idea about the traffic rules, and that that specific rule is precisely for his own safety).

It's estimated ~39% of total Bitcoin mining uses renewable energy, as of September 2020. It might be higher now due to all the electricity usage attention in recent months, but as long as it's under 90 - 95%, there'll be a lot of criticism.

IMO it's inevitable Bitcoin will face increasing pressure to plan a transition to PoS. Especially if Ethereum's PoS transition goes well and the network is running successfully for at least a year afterwards. (And at that time, Bitcoin's total electricity usage might be much higher than it is now, also.)

But I also predict the community and devs won't even consider the idea, and that this'll manifest as mutually escalating tension and hostility between the different cryptocurrency communities, news media, social media, etc. It's already pretty polarized, but I think it could get much worse. Especially if Bitcoin's price starts to rise more slowly or drop and Ethereum's starts to grow more quickly or surpass it.

> I have tried to make my red flags and categories vague enough that they can apply to almost any organization <...>

Trying to shoehorn something complicated into a set of broad statements does not help to address the underlying issues as they are not specific enough hence not actionable.

What is more "Data science" seems to be an ambiguous definition. Besides it is intrinsically an afterthought as data does not exist until the company collects it. I would also argue it is "a thing" only in large orgs or globally successful software; small companies do not posses datasets worthy of exploration.

Specifics would help as otherwise it feels like we're talking about technical debt.

Freedom from the Known by Jiddu Krishnamurti, but you won't apply it.
Well-written article. Its always fun to inspire coworkers/peers to actually read Fielding's dissertation and then have a proper discussion about what REST actually is/means. There are those who get it and are eager to think about the architectural side of the networked apps they work on/with. And then there are those who just want to code / get things done. I can't be angry about the latter ones. But thinking more about architectural implications would bring us forward in the long term.

Whenever I use or write an OpenAPI/Swagger definition, my heart breaks. At least it gets work done. But that's also the reason why I personally still prefer good old server-side rendered HTML with progressive enhancement. There is so much overhead involved in defining some arbitrary HTTP API and then have a UI in some overly complex way. HTML is such a powerful tool to drive the client (the Browser).

We agree that the difference between 2 and 20000 is significant, but I can easily observe this difference without counting all the way up to 20000.

Identifying the difference between 19,999 and 20,000 is certainly not significant in this way. 19,999 is already "too many" students; or, "plenty" of firewood. I don't need to count them to know this.

I'd say the difference between 5 and 6 is already relatively unimportant in these contexts.
I agree overall!

The USSR didn't really "overspend" though. The amount of money it was spending on the military was wildly exaggerated by the CIA and other people who wanted more budget.

The issue was the centrally planned economy and the monthly plans where factories would be effective for one week a month and spend the other three turning raw materials into garbage.

In the end, the USSR was simply unable to deliver sufficient goods and services to its citizens.

The tree based structure of the threads encourages conversational tangents by design. The original comments are replies to the original topic, but the further in you go, the more comments become replies to other comments, and conversations deviate from general and abstract to concrete and specific. If Hacker News wanted every comment to relate directly to the OP, it should have a flat comment structure.

This happens on Reddit too, it's just easier to notice here because threads here tend to be deeper rather than longer.

Remember, this isn't a symposium. We're not here just to offer professional criticism or trade theses at one another. There's no rule that all conversation must strictly be relevant to the topic, and primarily of a technical nature, nor should there be. We're here to have conversations about things we find interesting, and using casual language and personal anecdotes are perfectly acceptable. The only times I've seen the mods step in for something being off topic is when a tangent violates some other guideline.
I've been in places where bicycles are required to be on the sidewalk (shoulder really doubles as sidewalk) and hate it both as a pedestrian and as a biker.

Also the website mixes relative and absolute stats. Car fatalities at "all time lows", relative to other years where tens of thousands die in cars. While a vastly-smaller biker-death stat is compared to the other years of vastly-smaller stats. Need to compare in terms of deaths per mile traveled or something. We probably don't want to make a change that leads to ten thousand more driving fatalities in hopes it will help a few hundred bikers.

It is not at all implausible that competition with the US made the USSR spend more on arms. The reason empires throughout history spend money on arms, as you rightly say, is to compete with their neighbours. The US upped the ante.

Both of those things happen on Earth today. Haven't seen the show or read the book or whatever, but those both seem totally believable to me.

Earth mining is often done in horrendous and poor conditions. Megacorps and industry do kill millions of people on earth today with little explanation or repercussions.
And some colds are caused by betacoronaviruses very similar to SARS-CoV-2. The only reason those don't kill many people today is that most of us are exposed as children and build up immunity. There is strong circumstantial evidence that another coronavirus emerged in 1889 and killed about 0.06% of the world population.

If covid is more severe than the flu yet requires a similar vaccination cycle (nobody knows yet!) that does seem like a major change to me.

Childhood and travel vaccinations are once-offs and seasonal flu vaccination is a good idea but not a big deal for most.

> 95% of desktops are windows or mac, 99% of mobile are android and iOS. That is computers sold, business included.

But that isn't where most software runs. Most people just run a browser or a couple of desktop apps locally.

The vast majority of software is embedded or in data centres, running on Linux or iOS as an exceptional case.

Think about how many services you interact with daily - how many websites, payment services, bank systems, networking systems, other online computer systems in your life. You probably interact with hundreds of such systems every day not always realising it. Compared to what... three or four desktop apps maybe?

Many poorer people don't even own a desktop or laptop at all - so they interact with zero desktop apps but still hundreds of services via their (Linux) phones.

This, hundreds times this. I can't say how many years in a row I was experimenting with various GUI toolkits, libraries and concepts of an application like rxi/lite editor [0]. While I saw many good looking implementations but the very first what caught my attention was lack of any kind support to screen-reading software or problem with displaying right-click context menus. I even remember previous HN discussion when I pointed out few projects that could provide some screen-readers support [1]. Sadly, I would say 95% of all GUIs I know do not care about the accessibility.

From the positive side, I am glad more and more hackers on HN focus on that matter. Also worth noting big players on the market really do take that point seriously, e.g. Flutter has a Semantics tag [2].

Yeah, for the last few years there's also been Zelle (at least in the US).

This is IMO a killer service because all you need is the person's email address or phone number, there's no fees, it's really fast and it's a feature built into most major banks' dashboard so there's no sign up process. It's like the best possible thing you could ask for, but small payment providers in the US still exist.

It's really handy for the use case of sending or accepting infrequent 1 to 1 payments (invoices, referral payouts, etc.). It supports recurring payments too.
There absolutely have been pandemics requiring vaccination drives to end them. Polio and Small Pox are two prominent examples that come to mind. And those worked extremely well in controlling those outbreaks.

Second, the yearly flu vaccine already does "updates" to your immune system. That is also not a new concept, and I see nothing ridiculous about it. From what I have read, the portion of the virus targeted by the mRNA vaccines does not mutate as easily as say the flu, which is why these vaccinations still work. You will probably need a booster just to keep your immune system "remembering" the virus, but it probably won't be shifting around as much as a flu shot would
