Like you said, if you're good with a LAMP stack and one server, then K8S is probably useless complexity.

The issue is that most people nowadays have never worked with a bare metal Lamp server, so they grossly underestimate how large their company can grow before needing any distributed HA solution. I'd wager 90% of startups go bankrupt or are acquired before outgrowing a single Lamp server.
You'd expect per capita income to lag though, right? If a country is investing in modernization (especially, in it's people via education, etc), that's a 30+ year payoff from start.

Granted, 150 is a lot, but you'd expect some convergence before divergence.

I was looking at generation size and life expectancy per country to tease that out further, and there's a surprising gap between Haiti [0] and the DR [1], going back to 1950, that has persisted. Couldn't find earlier.

Both are increasing, but using life expectancy as a proxy for economic power (people spend on it as a priority, etc), Haiti appears to have started from a much lower base.

The only fusion project which has a chance of producing excess heat at Q>2 within a decade is the MIT SPARC, using proven plasma physics and scaling the size/cost down dramatically with high-field HTS magnets (think ITER but sooner and >10x cheaper). Why is this definite solution to climate apocalypse being developed within the framework of MIT startup accelerator instead of Manhattan Project while most of the publicity goes to unproven designs which are orders of magnitude from being anywhere close to Q>1 is beyond me

Yeah, it's definitely the most sellable one I've seen.

I don't like the implication that it's the algorithm that's malicious rather than the person who wrote the algorithm (no algorithm is inherently malevolent or benevolent in my opinion, it's just an algorithm), but I also know this distinction is completely pointless for the vast majority of people and "malgorithm" gets the gist of what people are getting at across very well.
Ask HN: How can we ensure zero defects in our shipped code?
Hi HN. I work on a small team in a mid-sized company, I am a senior on the team, but not the lead. Recently our business model has changed, for some of our products, such that clients could get partially refunded if they discover bona fide defects in production.

This has lead to a mandate that we "are not allowed to ship bugs" and must do everything we can to ensure software quality. The product I work on is old and has a very complicated code base (1M+ loc). For years the CTO evangelised his opinion that unit testing is worthless and the junior and mid-level engineers took this to heart. Test coverage is therefore basically non-existent, and existing tests fail. It would take months to fix them, and we can't delay deliverables to do this.

We have a formal QA team, but full regression testing takes a week+ with 2 or more people (our team has only 1 tester). Some of the QA staff are also young and inexperienced and log issues that are irrelevant (or extremely low priority issues, mostly UI related or convoluted edge cases) and miss core business cases.

I've also always thought fast iterations are better than extremely rigorous testing.

It has repeatedly been made clear that the engineers are ultimately responsible for the work they deliver, and are held accountable for any defects.

How could we increase the quality of our work to a state where we ship without defects? Are there formal methods, or specific processes we can adopt? Is it worth spending our free time to get the tests working and expand them to test most of the application?
Thanks, this is handy.

I’ve done some little experiments but having a standard-ish thing is better.

Would this integrate to give scale, in say, Meshroom? Or it’s manual calibration step someplace along the workflow?

I’m in it more for the reasonably accurate 2d/3d measurements, but approximately accurate color is nice as well.
*BSD have been quite innovative recently. The pledge and unveil syscalls, although achievable by other means on linux, are very simple and effective for what they do. I don't know a way on linux to use a system on a directory without being root; even if possible I'd still need root to mount --bind some dirs, but definitely something I'd like to do.

I don't think containers should be needed for that.

Well, in principle you get 3 degrees of freedom instead of 1 (though, I would love to see camers with more than 3 color filters).

In practice you do 2 anyway (with exposure correction being used even more often than white balance). So I agree that more than that is usually not worth the effort.

From my amateour photography experince - with strange lighting you cannot do much anyway.

Accessibility is not only about opening a case, but accessing things that require maintenance, like coolers.

It seems unreasonable to me that manufacturers prevent users from even cleaning their devices without voiding warranty.

On top of that, stickers are a lazy answer to the problem of damaging an equipment because of the so called unqualified tempering. An appropriate answer to that in my opinion would be to make parts cheap and available so that users can go to a third party workshop to have their systems cleaned, checked and repaired, so they don't have to do it themselves. This is why right to repair is also important.

If it was water treatment wouldn't we expect to see more obese people in the cities which are further downriver and where there is more pollution in general? What we actually observe is that citydwellers have less issues with obesity. No, these might be minor factors but there are obviously factors which matter more than pollution and antibiotics.

Heavy moderation (/r/askhistorians) and niche (this forum?) for sure help, but they are not the solution for the most "public" and mainstream places like comments under posts on BBC's Facebook page.

And the toxic polarising discussion in those mainstream places is the one that threatens all of our societies the most. Disciplining a RuneScape phpBB board is trivial in comparison.
Probably of the general majority.

This is an almost natural consequence. The largest sub-groups start out with having most of the same people of the whole society. Then the minorities get turned off and leave to smaller sub-groups where they feel more welcome.

At first I thought I was looking at a newly-launched Spanish brand of Wagestream (they have launched in other countries under different names, so it wouldn't be unexpected).

I know Payflow has a subtly different value proposition (not charging for withdrawals). And it's totally conceivable that this is the obvious UI for this feature set, but it's really hard to miss the glaring similarities.
The most toxic device on the internet is the downvote.

It’s nothing more that a “criticize” button, or perhaps “attack”, “belittle”, “devalue”.

Downvotes make people feel hurt belittled and attacked.

Nothing wrong with upvoting - that’s positive.

Downvoting destroys all good will.

And of course so clever and funny here in HN this comment gets downvoted, which proves my point. The downvote is the tool of the drive by vandal. It allows people to behave like a dickhead anonymously and at no cost.
I think it's also that twitter's UI isn't designed for discussion, it's designed for shouting your opinion into the void.

So I think this empowers people to voice their shitty opinion without consequence.

It’s one of my favorite books! I have a first edition lying somewhere around my apartment.

Dawkins called it: “either complete rubbish or a work of consummate genius.” Janyes’s hypothesis, bicameralism, is thought provoking at its least relevant by challenging our static perceptions of what consciousness actually is. Alongside Feynmann’s autobiographies, this book made me think about not only how language and culture can deeply affect consciousness, but what consciousness actually is in the first place.

My favorite part of the book explores metaphor and language as a means of perception instead of just communication:

“Even such an unmetaphorical-sounding word as the verb ‘to be’ was generated from a metaphor. It comes from the Sanskrit bhu, “to grow, or make grow,” while the English forms ‘am’ and ‘is’ have evolved from the same root as the Sanskrit asmiy “to breathe.” It is something of a lovely surprise that the irregular conjugation of our most nondescript verb is thus a record of a time when man had no independent word for ‘existence’ and could only say that something ‘grows’ or that it “breathes.”

And, of course, his chapter on what consciousness isn’t is really quite interesting:

“Consciousness is a much smaller part of our mental life than we are conscious of, because we cannot be conscious of what we are not conscious of. How simple that is to say; how difficult to appreciate! It is like asking a flashlight in a dark room to search around for something that does not have any light shining upon it. The flashlight, since there is light in whatever direction it turns, would have to conclude that there is light everywhere. And so consciousness can seem to pervade all mentality when actually it does not.”

(I just woke up, so bear with me for some fuzziness in this comment)
This works for obvious cases like cheating. Kinda like the legal system. This won't work for political speech and we knew this. Most legal systems are set up to avoid having courts judge political speech in most cases.

Even then it will probably only keeps working until there's a rift in your community. Say people start arguing over trans rights (weirdly common on discord), and then users get mass-reported and mass-voted to be banned by an activist minority.

It’s time and knowledge.

It can be simple but first you have to learn it.

Given that life is finite and you want to accomplish some objective with you company (and it’s not training dev ops professionals), it’s quite interesting having the ability to outsource a big part of the problems needed to be solved to get there.

Given this perspective, much better to use managed services. Let’s you focus on the code (and maintenance) specific to your problem.
It's fairly easy to take the racial pieces out of this and talk about it in abstract.

What you're losing when you kill / expel the wealthy (whomever they are) and expropriate / redistribute property is cultural investment in institutions.

In that people may feel the previous system was unjust, but they nevertheless believed in it. That belief (aka trust) takes generations to build.

Revolutions which violently dislocate institutions don't replace them with alternatives: they start from zero.

This has profound growth consequences when, for example, it takes four+ decades for people to trust the legal system again. Or banking. Or anything.
Most chips today use gold bond wires in air to connect to the rest of the circuit. They are pretty okay with a little flexing. Put your grain of sand in a little air pocket in the rubber, with connections made with gold bond wires, and you should be good to squish, stretch, and shake the rubber as much as you like without those gold bond wires failing.

A lot of it would depend upon how payroll is handled. There are plenty of employers where the hours worked are written on paper, then transcribed to a common document format and sent to payroll, then transcribed into the payroll software. Since so much of the process is manual, it is likely to be batched and performed weekly. Even when it is done daily, the daily is unlikely to include weekends (which is shifted to end of day Monday). In other words, they would have to completely alter their process to actually pay daily. That alone would likely make the process more expensive. Doing more bank transfers would add more expenses. The software used to handle payroll is a middleman for all intents and purposes, and that is unlikely to go away.

For what it's worth, I have seen that process used in both the private and public sector as well as with organizations that employ thousands of people.
Even monkeys (those that are not apes) exhibit behavior that so powerfully human. One campus where I studied had many (curb the joke). This allowed enough opportunities to observe them.

What moved me most, apart from their usual monkey business, is their display of quiet private tenderness towards their partner. That took me by surprise.

Everyone has some personal experiences that they would remember because it changed their perspective or added one when non existed. This would be one of them for me.

A family friend of ours was researcher in medical biology. His daily work included draining blood from rhesus monkeys for testing. I remember as a kid that he gave up his line of work. At that time it had struck me as an odd thing to do because he was doing so well. When I saw the behavior of these monkeys from up close, I got a better appreciation of why.

"office workers in 1950"

What percentage of people filled that role then vs now and how does that compare to obesity rates? I assume both percentages were much lower in the 50s. Not to mention, many of the tasks that are automated today (or don't exist at all) were manual tasks back then. So they may not have been exercising explicitly, but it's likely their chores required manual activity that would qualify as low or medium intensity exercise... except maybe the richest ones that had servants of some sort do it for them.

I think callahad's post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27913251) explains it quite well. You're in the first modal distribution of local companies. You can make a big jump making it to a local company that does broader benchmarking, or move to a global company that allows remote work like Twitter (unless you're happy to move near to London of course).

My first salary as SWE in UK at a bank had a >50K base (60K total comp), second job in finance was 120K base (135K total), and now Google is >180K total comp. All in GBP.

It certainly is possible, but getting into that third modal is probably the hardest bit and will likely involve some leetcode grind and loads of rejected interviews. After your first role, it's relatively smooth smailing (but will still involve leetcode grind every single time).

Well feeding an HVDC line with something that doesn't already naturally generate AC (like a wind turbine) would be a better fit. But it would be a little strange to not fully exploit the other thing that distinguished the DC system from AC: distributed generation vs centralized generation. What was once necessary due to transmission inefficiency is now desirable due to transmission inefficiency :) (among other things). I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for the breadbox sized fusion reactor, though I wouldn't turn up my nose to a residential fission option.

I've never been part of such a recruitment process, so I can't comment on that.

My role as a contractor was always highly specific, and so were the roles of my more permanent co-workers. That being said they did tend to switch to mostly unrelated roles every few years or so.

I have a friend who worked in accounting for a large company and complained that nowadays large corporations slice responsibilities into these little bits, because it's easier to train for them this way, but the side effect was that her role had a very narrow scope and she was easily replaceable.

Damages and fines levied are part of the "costs" side of a balance sheet. If those costs outweigh the revenue, then the business is unprofitable. I think I can see the point you're trying to make, with a distinction between the usual running mode, and abnormal circumstances imposed from an external source. I disagree with that point, as no company exists in a vacuum. The laws and regulations of their environment may impose costs, and those are part of the cost of doing business.
