"All it does is verify what we already know."

Wait. What who already knows?

I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who read this article did not already know the information contained within.

As such the article serves to educate a lot of people, which is a positive development.
This argument makes every single law moral. It also is telling you to not question laws that are in place. If "crime" is your definition of moral or immoral I'd love to hear your take on any of the civil rights movements of the last 100 years.
A common trait to any multi-paradigm language, I fail to see the problem.

In fact, you could state the same complaints against Turbo Pascal on the MS-DOS days.
This should work (as in, it will create the cluster and only then add the k8s resource to it, in the same plan/apply).

Here the module creates an EKS cluster, but this would work for any module that creates a k8s cluster.

module "my_cluster" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
version = "17.0.2"

cluster_name = "my-cluster"
cluster_version = "1.18"
}

# Queries for Kubernetes authentication
# this data query depends on the module my_cluster
data "aws_eks_cluster" "my_cluster" {
name = module.my_cluster.cluster_id
}

# this data query depends on the module my_cluster
data "aws_eks_cluster_auth" "my_cluster" {
name = module.my_cluster.cluster_id
}

# this provider depends on the data query above, which depends on the module my_cluster
provider "kubernetes" {
host = data.aws_eks_cluster.my_cluster.endpoint
cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.aws_eks_cluster.my_cluster.certificate_authority.0.data)
token = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.my_cluster.token
load_config_file = false
}

# this provider depends on the data query above, which depends on the module my_cluster
provider "helm" {
kubernetes {
host = data.aws_eks_cluster.my_cluster.endpoint
cluster_ca_certificate = base64decode(data.aws_eks_cluster.my_cluster.certificate_authority.0.data)
token = data.aws_eks_cluster_auth.my_cluster.token
load_config_file = false
}
}

# this resource depends on the k8s provider, which depends on the data query above, which depends on the module my_cluster
resource "kubernetes_namespace" "namespaces" {

metadata {
name = "my-namespace"
}
}
On Mac, it would be nice if you could work with files completely inside Snowtrack instead of having to jump to Finder and back. Also, dragging a file onto Snowtrack seems like it should add the file to the current project. Otherwise, I love the idea for a simple and straightforward VCS tool.
I really wish more developers took the time to comment code as well as the sqlite.org devs.
You could have read more of the site or even looked it up on Wikipedia in the time it took for you to write your comment.
Have you tried Terragrunt [0]? It helps a lot with managing a set of related stacks. Still feels like a bandaid on a broken model, but it is what we have.

Regarding performance, last time I looked, Hashicorp's documentation implied there was no limit to the size of a Terraform stack. I think they meant theoretically in a science fiction universe where humanity had captured all of the sun's output to perform terraform plan and apply...

> "losing track of what behavior is publicly acceptable in the ever changing Overton window"

The largest benefit of abandoning social media is probably the realization that the "very online" type don't actually dictate social mores, and can (and should) be largely ignored. That feeling that the Twitter mob can tell you what is acceptable is "[letting] social media think for you", and is exactly the problem.
> which is the reason HTTP is ascii based.

well, other side of HTTP was telnet in the terminal - this is why it is ASCII to begin with
Adding to this one. I've been a paying user for years and I am fully satisfied. Sync is very actively developed, deeply customizable, and smartly designed.
I am not claiming to be physically beaten, but to me the attitudes as I interpret them feel the same from what I have read compared to what I have experienced in how it feels and how it impairs my career progression/mobility. Earlier when I used the word hostility it wasn’t for elaboration.

Who is denying it? Who is "we"?
That's a valid point. It's free now but they do have some plans for monetization (ads in channels with huge numbers of subscribers etc.)
That is exactly the reason to be opposed to them. There’s zero reason for them to exist, other than to enable corruption and enabling a way to direct your taxes towards your own tribe (churches, synagogue, etc) rather than the public as a whole.
This is really nice and particularly resonant with me.

I've spent maybe a good five years obsessed with coding and development in all the ways, but I never went to school for it (I have an MA in philosophy), and have never had a real tech/dev job (I have been a random temp for almost two years now, cook and grubhub before that, and many different jobs before that in kitchens and teaching guitar and such).

I dream in javascript and have many different projects that skew more into art than repertoire/repo ready projects. Out of pure curiosity I have read many many books on programming languages and development strategies. Countless hours troubleshooting and understanding other people's work, learning git, docker, emacs, gradle, bash; learning OOP and SOLID; learning lower level languages. I just eat it up, I love it so much. There is nothing more satisfying to me than grokking it and then showing that understanding by example.

Most friends I talk to say I _should_ get a job doing this stuff I love so much, and I know the kinds of things I _should_ do if I wanted to try that, but that's not really my issue. Its more... I just don't want to jinx it, I don't want to get a job involving something I love so much because it just feels like it would ruin it.

But... life is long and sometimes I wish I had real health insurance, general financial stability, and everything else that goes along with the other side of this compromise. Hard to know.
So, when are you adding account management and github integration?

That's the problem. Firefox isn't keeping up with standards.

Honestly the new appearance has grown on me and I don't see the need for change. I would rather have them focus on some features that can add value to the overall usage.

For example, ability to add a folder to the toolbar and being able to put icons for plugins into it - right now, every plugin's icon just shows up and clutters the toolbar instead of me being able to only show those that I use most often and put the rest in a folder. Another example is ability to export a sub-folder of bookmarks so that if I need to save them to another browser, I don't need to do hacks like exporting all of them only to import them to a scratch folder and picking what I need.
You are right, they aren't. You need to grow wealth and hang out with bankers at company expense ;)

> Large state universities and their satellite schools are also good sources. In my experience, top-performing students at Rutgers are as talented but less self-important than Ivy Leaguers. They’re more likely to accept the authority of those more experienced. This allows for better mentoring, which in turn produces better results over time.

This article echos Malcolm Gladwell’s David & Goliath theory.

> Second-rate schools can promote first-rate achievement, whereas more-selective environments can squelch it. For example, Gladwell cites a study showing that, in the first six years after receiving their doctorate, research economists published more, and in more-prestigious journals, if they had been standouts at a bottom-tier school than if they had been not-quite-stars at the best schools.

You mean because Joey took his allowance and bought the supplies for a lemonade stand, took the money made from that to buy the ingredients to make cookies, then took the time to bake himself cookies.

It's strange that people find a person who creates & grows a company and who pays hundreds of millions of dollars in legally required taxes detestable. Yet a person who fails to gain the basic education that is free to them, who has no ambition, who is literally a drain on society, cannot be criticized. It's astonishing to me that society accepts and allows people to not have a least a high school education.

I wonder what the response would be to an article about how trillions in taxes are not paid because there are millions and millions of people who simply don't develop their personal capital and make decent choices that would result in them earning more and paying more in taxes.
Kind of good, kind of a shame. Reddit and Facebook bring more people in, ease discovery, and have consistent UIs. Forums are this neat other world though, where there used to be this feel of wonder. There was charm in them.

I'm very open to the idea I'm looking with rose colored glasses though.
Capital gains aren't a strange middle ground. They are the best attempt to have an income system work: they allow the taxation of income from money. A system that taxes only income from labour is grossly unfair to the poor. A system that taxes all wealth is overly bureaucratic and deeply invasive.
This seems neat but I’m also a mere computer person and vaguely knowledgeable in electrochemistry. A few questions for anyone who knows more about this subject:

I’m wondering where the electrons being yanked out of the particles come from, and how they end up flowing back into the nanotubes particles. Do they come from the carbon? Are they somehow stored in the tube structure? Also, how exactly do the electrons end up getting pulled back into the structure if they’re yanked out in the first place. Wouldn’t the system tend towards some equilibrium, rather than what I’m intuiting as an oscillation of charge?

Also, how exactly does this give an advantage to nanomachines over a traditional battery? Do we just not know how to build them small enough, and therefore this is neat because we can (crudely worded, forgive me I’m not an expert) hook these particles up to nanomachines so they can generate power with the whole chassis suspended inside the solvent? Maybe it’s just easier to manufacture than e.g. batteries?
This gets to my biggest issue with social media: the primacy of the collective opinion.

As the article states, nuance has no place, nor does the idea that we should evaluate something based on its intrinsic qualities. Instead, the most important thing about everything is what We think about it in this instant. And that is highly mutable: We will change that whenever we wish, and you need to keep up.

The very notion that something can be evaluated based on intrinsic qualities (such as a person's character, a thing's aesthetics, the efficacy of a policy) is devalued because they do not serve the ultimate goal of a collective opinion. Science is a meme/religion we trot out to justify our already-formed beliefs.

The reason this is such a problem is that you cannot develop any sort of taste if you are constantly out-sourcing it to a constantly-shifting collective opinion. And taste is a requisite for skill.
What a deeply ignorant perspective. Too infuriating to ignore. Firefox users constitute <1% of my traffic. If you had any context for how widely browsers diverged on webrtc features (especially video), you'd realize that ff support could easily add months and months to dev time. I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice that apple makes no mention of safari in their announcement.

my webrtc-based video conference app doesn't currently support ff and never will unless compatibility with chrome's implementation comes around. My manager would have me committed if I tried to pull that shit, and I'm already notorious for refusing to do things on principle. Suggesting that we don't support firefox because I'm lazy? No, vendors force us to choose, and if the alternative is NO video? Here on earth, where we're trying to cultivate a competitive advantage and survive as a business venture, that's an incredibly easy choice.

edit: other commenters have made the point much more elegantly than I but I leave my words here as a testament to how infuriated I am at this condescending suggestion.
It's much more popular to sell taxes-as-punishment than to propose rational tax policy.
Yep it actually came from Germany, and was afterward adopted by a lot of european countries
> is that the ansible playbook will be idempotent

This isn't really true. I think you are correct that most of the built-in operations are idempotent but you can also do this with a small library of functions in a shell/python script or whatever you prefer. Most things you want to do on provision are idempotent anyways (install this package, download this file) or are trivial to make so (create this directory).

I would take a real programming language any day for the minor cost of having to handle idempotency myself. It would take a couple of hours to reimplement idempotent primitives to replace the Ansible standard library in just about any language.

In my mind the main value of Ansible is playbooks that others have made for you, but many people avoid these anyways to have full control.
And possible stack overflow or freezing applications, when a domino effect of reference counting reaching 0 happens, and dealloc functions weren't properly written.

There is a Herb Sutter talk at CppCon about the downsides of reference counting.

Basically the solution to those problems is to make use of hazardous pointers or deferred destructions on background threads, which are a kind of lightweight tracing GC.
I think the GP is referring to whatever organization the writer actually works for, as opposed the WSJ where this article happens to be

> They would seem ideal for my organization, which aims to speak for religious and social conservatives

The article is written by an editor at some publications called "First Things" that is put out by the Institute on Religion and Public Life. Personally I've never heard of either of them.

It is not the WSJ saying these things.
Loeb has been outright attacked in the popular press for advancing his idea, so I think he's just doubling down and fighting back. The truth is that the side that will "win" this debate is the loudest one and Loeb seems to actually understand that.
There's a credible case that tax records should just be public. Some places they are. Real estate records are.
As an active learner of the Turkish language this tool is really held back by using Netflix' own subtitles. First of all if you go to their website and u look for Turkish content, it only lists shows created for the Turkish market, yet there's so much more content available with Turkish dubs and subs like Ninjago, Pokemon, Paw Patrol that likely have easier vocabulary, cause it's target at kids. And yet again the subs sometimes hardly match the dubs, which therefore doesn't help with hearing comprehension at all. If anyone can suggest good alternatives to practice hearing comprehension at different levels (even payed ones) I would really appreciate it.
> Or does he, and this is marketing for startup portfolio company employee pipelines?

I think it's a marketing pipeline for founders. Maybe very early stage employees.

After reading many pg essays, I have this feeling that he's protective of founders. Not just YC founders, or other founders. But possible founders, too. Really the "spirit" of "founder" as it appears to him. (Use "idea" instead of "spirit" if it sounds too woo for you.)

He sometimes sees this spirit as under attack. Some other writer will dogmatically insist on work/life balance. It's probably targeted at the majority of working people who are selling their labor for the wages they need to get by. Personally, I think it's a good message. But there's no specific carve out in the article for founders, so maybe one person out there is a little less foundery than they would be otherwise. This worries pg.

So he writes some sentence like the one that kicked off this comment chain. It's really just "leave founders alone!". The intended effect is that those other writers insist a little less dogmatically, and that people feel enabled to dive into their own projects a bit more.

What the top comment is responding to is the perversion that so often happens. The line gets taken not just as gospel for the founder to live, but to preach. "We're looking for people who believe in work dash life, not work slash life." they say to the software engineer they're expecting to pop tickets off of JIRA for 40% below market wages and options on 0.01% of the company.

Is this scraping a subtitle service + retrieving the timestamp from the subtitle and displaying it?
Yup. Few people know that the 401k deduction is a massive loophole someone found and exploited. It was never intended to be a retirement vehicle or used in a widespread manner. There was discussion of repealing it as the tax revenue hit was not planned for.
Bullshit. Microsoft adopting Chromium was the single biggest boon for the open web in many years. By reducing the friction for creating powerful web apps, it closes the gap for what is possible in competition with walled-garden app stores.
That makes the lives of gold-diggers easier too.

If it were opt-in that would be fine, otherwise it's an invasion of privacy of most people who aren't rich.

It's almost as bad as having medical conditions and STIs test results listed publicly.

Facilitating public exposure of counting other people's money doesn't help anyone except the rich to know if you can fight them in court or how much to bribe them.

Fight wealth inequality with income-&-holdings-proportional fines; simple, government-calculated graduated taxes without complicated exemptions; elimination of corporate/wealth welfare; and expand economic-advancement-oriented welfare to those who aren't super-rich who can use it.

If we have to show our work on who is richest, Bezos is the richest man.

Agreed. Docker (actually, containers in general but docker tooling) made it so damn easy to get local, reproducible builds. It’s fantastic and made life so much easier for me professionally as a Software Engineer.

I remember the early days when Docker had just released, all devs were super excited but nobody had run containers “in production”. AFAIK I believe it was mesos that was used widely for orchestrating containers in production. Docker swarm/compose just took too long to get there and k8s just rapidly took over and became the standard.
are you interested in minimizing economic distortion or punishing rich people?
Big Blue Button is bloated and poorly maintained, has old documentation and is pretty heavy to host and use.
It's not really open source standardization though. Google is in charge, make no mistake. Yes people can take it and tweak it, but the main feature changes are dictated by Google.
That’s like asking if the US would cede San Diego to a foreign power. They are not going to give up their only deep water port on the Black Sea. It’s paramount to their territorial defense/integrity. We, the US, pretend we don't know this.

The Crimea has changed hands over time quite a bit for political reasons and was never really fully Ukrainian but in name. It was Tatar, then others now mostly Russian and some Ukrainian and some others.
I don't see any issue with the title. This is hacker _news_. The news here is that a new release is out. For those that don't use Terraform, your suggested title could be interpreted that declaratively describing infrastructure on multi-cloud is a new v1.0 feature. And those that do use Terraform of course don't need the intro.

Their sphere of influence shrunk because the USSR lost a lot on split up and became the smaller Russia, their economy was in the doldrums for over a decade, and most of what they had was a corrupt oligarchy centered on natural resources.

Why should Western companies not be able to develop the countries bordering Russia if the countries want them to come in?

The problem is that when Western companies come in to Ukraine etc with rules and audits etc, it makes it tougher for the corrupt oligarchs with ties to Russia to operate and extract their wealth through corruption.

If these countries adopt western norms in elections/governance, and adopt western business practices, it leaves very little room for the old corrupt guard of Russia/Soviet origins to operate and squeezes them out of any piece of the pie.

That's why Putin is at odds with it.
Apple Music’s Zane Lowe explains how Spatial Audio will transform music
My word, so much this. It is astounding how companies manage to kill initiative at every level as they grow. Individual team members can't change anything because they are at the bottom of the ladder and have to conform to the wishes of "the team" and low/middle managers somehow have even less autonomy because they can't go against their own managers but also have to navigate the peculiarities of their reports and various committees. You'd think that high level managers get more autonomy, but the demands of office politics (one serious mistake and you lose the shot at the C-suite you worked your whole career for) combined with their distance to people who can actually implement any changes they'd wish to make ensures that high level managers also have very little actual autonomy.

It does not help that the word "ownership" has become a euphemism for "you must now care about this thing and fix it when it breaks at 2am, but economic benefits of any improvements to it will still flow to the shareholders". You get the drawbacks of ownership but not the benefits.
