I agree with you on decoupling the insurance from employment. Great move! This would immediately clarify what cost and risk exposure means to people too. Bonus!

I disagree on cost and risk exposure. Ask around both employer and employee about cost growth this last decade, for example... not getting lower, often are digit increases.

Regulation?

Well, the cap that limits margin dollars is easily dealt with by owning more of the chain of care. Opponents of this tepid method of cost control predicted it and it has happened. They can do billing with themselves and it works like tax shelters do and film studio accounting do to show compliant profit numbers.

From where I sit, being one of the really screwed set, I found some of what you put here clarifying, but did not find myself sold on the idea we are improving at all.

In fact, one way to differentiate the US profit motive from the rest of the developed world, is our continuing move toward market based care despite a lot of information
"most of the people who do have $2k to spare don’t live in places with unreliable electricity"

Increasing the mix of renewables in the electricity networks will mean most people live in places with unreliable electricity going forward. The proposed $2k 30kWh home battery backup could well be the adaptation many of us have to make.

“Written in GO and readily installable as a binary, Hugo is tremendously portable…”

I am but a humble designer, who only knows enough to write some simple prototypes, and wants some organizational helps. Partials. Concatenating stylesheets. Little things that I used to use CodeKit for.

And I like Hugo because of that “it’s just a binary” bit. There’s no dependency hell. No leaning tower of JS or Ruby. You install it, it sits there, nothing can really break. That’s what I want.

Is that a niche criteria? Obviously. But I do appreciate it. (And if someone has a better suggestion for a very simple static site generator, bring it on.)

Agreed! As the war progressed, an interesting parallel developed: as Stalin learned to trust his generals and give them free reign to make plans, Soviet successes increased. Conversely, as Germany experienced its first dramatic setbacks, Hitler grew more paranoid and trusted his generals less and less, and disasters grew larger and more frequent.

Google really needs to come up with a better way than backlinks to rank sites.

It's 2021 and surprisingly for all the billion dollar A.I. it can still be gamed with a bunch of unrelated links with little or no connection from the article to the site.

Also it's pretty unnatural and shady to get these backlinks. For my own SaaS site almost every blogger I contacted for a review just straight up asked me money in exchange for link. What the software did was of no consequence to this exchange. Most sites which have these "list of 10 XYZ" are just similar money making scams yet they rank so highly on Google.

P.S. And likewise I too get dozens of emails daily with "offers" from free article to actual dollar amounts just for putting a paid link. These SEO guys are just relentless because such shenanigans are working great at beating Google so far.

They made claims and threatened legal action; certainly the public doesn’t need to legally know until a lawsuit is actually brought, but they would be required to present such evidence to the public in court.

Do they have to currently? No, of course not. But this isn’t someone claiming that another did something behind closed doors to bait public disclosure. They opened this door by making the claims, from a standpoint of whether one might want to do business with replit in the future it’s entirely reasonable to ask for proof of what otherwise are slanderous claims.

Having been a dev on EtherPad, Google Wave, Coda, and other real-time collaborative apps with OT, undo, and so on...

I think it's correct that, ideally, there would be a framework that handles real-time collaboration, undo/redo, and offline support for you, and then you build your app with these problems already solved. I will probably create such a framework eventually. I don't see it as a database engineering problem, it's more like a framework or application architecture, which every app like Google Docs or Figma has its own version of. Writing such a framework is not too much harder than writing such an app, it just requires a little more abstraction and some documentation.

If you've never written an undo manager, sync engine, etc., and you aren't writing a complex app, it's hard to arrive at the right design by thinking about pure data sync. Also, storing and querying data are solved problems; it's more a question of coming up with a generic data model for an application and defining its semantics.

To be fair, there’s only a few ways to say that the correct solution seems obvious in hindsight.

I agree with Amjad there. I just don’t think that working with something means you can never use those patterns again. That’s ridiculous. If I couldn’t use any of the patterns that I learned about in previous jobs I would still be programming as if I had 1 year of university experience.
That's for a few reasons.

Competition is low. There are only a few players in the home battery space and they are similarly priced.

Demand is high. Even with the higher price, the wait list to get a powerwall is more than a year out.

My expectation is a few things happen over the next 9 years.

I expect that battery production ramps up to a high degree.

I expect that the EV market will eventually be saturated

With those two things, I expect that EV manufactures and the likes of tesla will end up with more batteries than than demand. When that happens, you can expect that the cost of battery products will start to tumble as everyone that manufactures batteries starts to try and sell them for whatever application will buy them.

Things that could spoil my assumptions?

Power companies might decide now is the time to really buy batteries. That could keep demand outpacing supply.

We could see new applications of batteries that aren't currently on the table, such as battery powered trains.

The EV market could not saturate. This could be due to battery production capacity severely lagging EV demand. This could be due to anything from manufacturing plants running into major issues to supply chain problems.

But, I'm an optimist. I expect to see battery tech and manufacturing continuing to build out at a fast pace.

Oh, and eventually the expensive part of a battery system won't be the batteries but rather the install cost.

You might respond "well why is HN so resource-hungry?" Answer: it's not! HN is run off a single core of a single CPU.

> The software for both HN and YC was just a single Arc program (and not a large one) for the first 9 years of their existence, during which they went from nothing to massively successful to industry-changing. Written by one person, programming part-time. That is a staggering achievement. The power of using the right language for your project goes far further than most people dream. Our imagination about this is crippled by path dependence, social proof, and the conditioning that comes from only ever doing things the same few ways, like those fish in experiments (which may be urban legends?) who stick to their corner of the aquarium even after a glass barrier has been removed. The solution space of software and programming is so much larger than most of us want to imagine that it is. Sad.
I am the only one to actually like reading clever code?

When I see something like Duff's Device, my first reaction is a big WTF, like everyone else, but then, I sit down, try to understand, and when I get it, I am happy because I learned something. In fact, seeing Duff's Device is really what help me understand switch/case in C. And Duff's Device is certainly outdated, but it is by no mean "bad". If you need to unroll a loop by hand, that a good way to do it, it is just that you don't need to unroll loops anymore.

So if you write code I have to read later, please don't hold back, use every clever trick you have. A small comment would be appreciated but not necessary. This way, I can read your code and think "I learned something today".

Does it slows down comprehension? Of course it does... once. That's the cost of learning, but it is an investment, next time, I'll be faster.

I am really talking about the cleverness the article disapproves of. I also value insight, but here, I agree with the article.

I know a common saying is "newbies should understand your code at first glance". I only agree when by newbies, it means newbies on the project with regards to domain-specific knowledge. But when it comes to general principles, including knowledge of the programming language, code should be written for the highest level of expertise you can reach (but no further, you have to understand what you a doing!). I mean, if you are not using the full power of your tools, not only you are dragging yourself down, but the newbie you are trying to be kind with will not learn anything new.
I knew what this was going to be as soon as I saw "aux.h" in the screenshot.

Some years ago I was working on an embedded system that involved DisplayPort. For those unaware, DP's control channel is called AUX. One day, my new co-worker who used Windows asked me, who used Linux, why my AUX-related code wasn't checked in - which it most certainly was.

And that, folks, is how I learned about this absurd property of Windows that exists to this day.

> did not find myself sold on the idea we are improving at all.

I don't think we're improving either; as long as we have an employer mandate and privileged tax treatment for group health insurance plans, I don't see this changing any time soon. All I'm saying is that the market/private nature of it has little to do with it. It's the "employer sponsored" nature of it that has everything to do with it.

> In fact, one way to differentiate the US profit motive from the rest of the developed world, is our continuing move toward market based care despite a lot of information

That the US is somehow undifferentiated in its pursuit of market based healthcare is not true at all; see Switzerland and the Netherlands. Both have purely private health insurance systems, and there's no sign of that changing any time soon, and both enjoy excellent health outcomes with broad approval of their respective healthcare systems. They're almost exactly as regulated as the US health insurance market, except with one glaring difference: the private health insurance is predominately purchased on the individual market. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2011/04/29/why-sw...)

Not only that, Singapore has one of the most market-driven healthcare systems on the planet, and enjoys the status of being the most efficient healthcare system with some of the best outcomes:

Combined with the plumber[0] it beats every other approach to extensibility that I've seen. You can have any "IDE-ish feature" with a plumber rule. And you don't lose simplicity.

Hugo can be that simple if you don't have a complex frontend template. As soon as you want to make a SPA (or SPA-like experience), use a framework like React/Vue/Svelte/etc., or even try out stuff like TailwindCSS you're going to get sucked into the deep rabbit hole of bundling frontend assets, webpack/esbuild/etc.

So you kind of have to decide, are just static templates and static assets all you need? Stick with Hugo and enjoy the speed, simplicity, etc. There are some even simpler alternatives you might enjoy too, like mdbook or mkdocs. Both are more oriented towards technical docs but are similar to hugo at their core--send in some markdown (in the case of these tools you don't even need frontmatter or other schema) and get out some HTML.

If you're building something fancier or using more complex frontend setups then... there's no perfect answer right now. It's all about balancing complexity of the build system with what it gives you in the output. IMHO webpack and gnarly dependencies can be tamed pretty well with a simple docker container. Spend some time getting your perfect workflow setup, chuck it in a container that a CI system can run all day, every day without fail, and you'll be pretty well setup.
