I think the largest problem of persuasion right now is that no one (left or right) is willing to really try to understand what it is like in the shoes of the other. Until we get past that, we're just going to keep fighting. The only ones that see this are those that recently switched sides (aka usually moderates).
walmart.com is IPv4-only (according to IPvFoo), so the captchas you're seeing can't possibly be related to your IPv6 address.

If your ISP uses CGNAT for IPv4, then Walmart could fix the captcha problem by supporting IPv6, where your address is distinct from the bots.
Currently, mortgage debt evaporates faster from inflation/wage growth faster than outsourcing can realistically occur. In any case I don't see why software engineering should be exempt when the manufacturing and textile industries hit hard by outsourcing and automation. It sucks but that's just how capitalism works. SE's would probably have an easier time adapting than people in those industries anyway.

There's a lot of factors slowing down the outsourcing of CS jobs. The most talented pretty much always immigrate to the US because of higher wages and higher standards of living. Security concerns mean a lot can't be outsourced at all. Language & cultural differences give the US & western countries a huge hold on CS education. Etc. Plus a lot of jobs could be WFH 99% of the time but the last 1% is very important.

Even in the most extreme push of WFH or remote work, outsourcing would just be jobs moving from high COL areas like SF to lower COL areas of the US. Same culture/language, minimal timezone differences, etc. The pendulum is still very far on the side of favoring in-office work giving a few select areas a huge advantage & driving COL in those areas. The US is a huge country; even a 2x increase in WFH jobs wouldn't exhaust the number of low COL areas in the US.
The effect of carbon emissions isn't limited to only the buyers of a vehicle.
EV range will continue to increase and so will charging speeds and number of stations. Cybertruck and Tesla Semi may have 600+ miles of range. Combined with faster charging, human fatigue will start to become the bigger limiting factor. Driving more than 12 hours per day is a very niche activity. Even truckers are forbidden from doing that by law.
Shells aren't designed for general programming, they are designed for quick and dirty tasks. They are excellent for that purpose, not because the shell is useful, but because of the large ecosystem of tools that makes the shell useful.

Virtually any problem of "how do I do X in bash?" is solved trivially by Awk. If you don't know Awk, then any number of tools cobbled together in an inefficient, janky Bash function will get the job done so you can get on with your day.

If you need something robust, use an actual programming language, as "robust" things already need significant investment in development, testing, and maintenance.
Any student of history can explain that America has had this debate many times for almost all new technologies that grow dominant. The railroads spurred heavy regulation because they didn't treat all customers the same. The trucking industry too. When companies become large enough, citizens get upset when they're not treated equally and they start complaining to lawmakers who often do something.

* Where to deploy?
* Where to store the code?
* Which library to send emails with?
* Which 3rd service to send emails with?

A long time ago I spent 2-3 weeks building something to do all the above. After completion, I started going to customers and realised those 2/3wks were basically wasted time because I could have just put a google form and would've done just as good a job. Except now you get something a bit better than that.
Based on my readings of the contradictions in the various accounts, I would say he intended to die. He, in effect, I think, found a way of enacting the story of Empedocles, where Empedocles tries to die by jumping into a volcano so he will have just seemingly vanished and be believed to have ascended to godhood but was revealed by his bronze sandals. And in some ways seems reminiscent of Yukio Mishima.

And it seems to have worked, to a degree. Over 2,000 years later, everyone from layman to politician invokes his name and death as often as they do Jesus. Not existing is often a really good way of kind of existing seemingly forever.

> So whether communism is a good idea or not remains to be seen.

You are being too charitable. There is no shortage of data on communism after the last century. The results are so unequivocally bad across the board, you have to be ignorant of history or just ignorant in general to still think it's a good idea. As soon as someone tells me communism is a good thing, I realize I'm taking to someone who is not very intelligent and look for a way out of the conversation.

Edit: You can downvote, but you can't change history. There are levels of being wrong, but thinking communism is a good idea is just an extremely wrong opinion completely contradicted by history in over 40 countries (I counted) over a period of 100 years - with not a single example in favor.

On top of that, the evils perpetuated by communist countries upon their own citizens were not surpassed by any regime of the 20th century, not even the genocidal ones like Rwanda, or Nazi Germany. And yet some clueless class of people, largely located in academic institutions still somehow thinks it's a good idea. They are not only wrong, they are so wrong as to be stupid, and while I don't condone ad-hominen attacks generally, I feel it fits accurately here.
1. Yes. There are lots of places that specialize in prototype level parts.
2. Your prototype vendor will be your small batch vendor too.

As for protecting yourself. Any prototype house worth anything should be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement. They aren't in the business of ripping off their customers. That is a good way to kill their core business and spend a lot in legal fees.

Now, is your custome part a mechanical part or electrical like an IC? Your product is likely to made up of a bunch of off the shelf parts with a tiny bit of your "secret sauce". The secret sauce could be mechanical, electrical, software or some combination. Your goal at first is to prove out that part. Often this is done using develepment boards all cludged together to something that looks nothing like the final product, but demonstrates the concept. Then it is the next step to create more custom parts (PCBs, 3D printed case, etc.) so it can be prototyped in something closer to its final form.
Normal People Are Beginning to Acknowledge Their Loss of Free Speech
I feel like at least some of this depends on whether the ICE in a hybrid is coupled directly to the wheels or not. I believe in all current consumer vehicles it is, but there are other applications like hybrid trains and city buses where the engine is just running a generator at a constant RPM. Surely that kind of configuration would be the absolute best case scenario for ICE efficiency, and probably even for overall system efficiency (with battery loses accounted for) depending on the ratio of city to highway driving.
The problem with these lies (not "lies") is that they erode public trust in official health advice, so provide support for the antivax crowd and their ilk.
I frequently think of the brain drain, wherein many people who would have gone on to advance science and technology instead end up having to explain to some ad person why you can't have a "mirror" color on your monitor, in the vein of the first fifty quotes on the old ClientCopia site.
It would be nice if Toyota actually had any interest in plug in hybrids. Their only one, the Prius Prime, is more expensive than its competitors and offers less than half their range. What's the point of getting a PHEV if I still spend half my commute running on gasoline?
You lose efficiency when using electricity for electrolysis, compression and transportation of hydrogen. And then through the fuel cell itself which is used to charge a battery.

That entire roundabout process results in a pretty low efficiency for hydrogen. Why not skip all those steps and put the electricity right into a battery with little efficiency loss.

> Maybe you know someone who tried DDD, and it didn’t work for them? Maybe you worked with a person who didn’t understand it well, tried to force these techniques, and made everything too complex Maybe you’ve seen on Twitter that some famous software engineer said that DDD doesn’t work? Maybe for you, it’s a legendary Holy Grail that someone claims work for them – but nobody has seen it yet.

Ina nutshell, that’s the problem with almost all software development methodology — we don’t/can’t frame any of them in a falsifiable manner, so it’s difficult for the field to progress, even over decades. Bad ideas keep hanging around, and can’t be filtered from good ones. One can always keep playing “No true Scotsman” games on anybody’s experience, so most discussions end up devolving into froth.
But that's my point, none of these studies ever cite a utility's actual costs. When I got curious and looked at what the actual cost to the utility (not counting any federal rebates) just their actual outlays, versus how much power was generated over the year, it was ridiculous.

And the easy way to know this is true is that utilities are still building nat-gas plants. It's not like they love nat-gas, they love money and profits. If wind was actually cheaper than fuel, they'd just be over building wind farms so that no new nat-gas plants were needed.
you're free to use the entire 128 bit number, or the older dotted decimal notation.
Negative externality is an economic term which describes a specific market failure. A research lab leak (or nuclear meltdown, or whatever) is a rare accident, not a negative externality.

It would be like me saying the theory of relativity just means a theory about how everything is relative. That's obviously wrong. You can't just break down academic terms into their separate words. It doesn't make sense.
There's nothing natural about dying from COVID-19, except in the broadest of definitions of "natural" (i.e. the definition that we developed technology to minimize, control, and avoid).
That sounds more like a great method of deflecting any criticism rather than actually talking about what happened.

I feel like 'that's political' or similar sentiments have been used lately to just deflect criticism. It seems like it could be used endlessly.
The ultimate "no code" solution..
Record and compare to what?

I was asking how it was determined, but it seems you read half of a proper explanation?
> Can someone help me understand the no-code movement and what supposedly has changed in the last few years?

People (on the customer side) want automation that people who nominally aren't coders can build.

People (on the seller side) want sweet enterprise sales with maximum vendor lock-in.

Nothing, really, has changed... that's been the story forever.

> I know Microsoft tried to allow non-developers to create apps without developers

Hence, Excel, Access, PowerApps...

Also, really, the low-/no-code capabilities and empower analysts vs. devs to build tools or perform tasks that would otherwise take one-time dev or DBA time is also a selling point around a lot of the SQL Server ecosystem, e.g., SS[R/I/A]S.

> I know Microsoft tried to allow non-developers to create apps without developers

Yes, and have lots of success and lock-in from doing that.

> But failed!

No, no they didn't.

Oh, I mean sure, their no-/low-code tools require a lot of the same skills to build decent apps that arr required for other software development because coding was never the hard part. But, from MS’s point of view, that's irrelevant to the problem they are solving.
What normally happens is that availability is a boolean yes/no, and gets set to no when the first person asks for something that's run out. The merchant then sets it back to yes after stock comes in. That's a lot less work than integration ERP systems, and achieves the same result with the collateral damage to a few customers' experiences.

I don't get much pleasure from just having my day ("shouting into the void") what I'm really here for is engagement, and the high-quality responses I get (or sometimes just acknowledgement). Without feedback there's nothing in it for me.

> If you write a comment that is against what the majority of the site beliefs you will be downvoted.

I don't think this is a regular occurence on HN. But on reddit? All day every day.

Personally, I often upvote posts I disagree with, because it is a good discussion starter or just generally a good comment/discussion/disagreement.
No, it is better to get comments, even emotional and not well written. Because with comments I might understand where I was wrong, or at least know where exactly my opponent disagrees with me, because it I could have written a wall of text, not every sentence of it is wrong.

Even a comment like "fuck you you are dumb bastard hateful shit" tells me much more than a downvote. With comment like that I know that the opponent is not interested in productive conversation, so I move on.

And if people downvotes because they are emotional, this is not the place where I'd like to participate in discussions. I'm interested in the grown up respectful dispute and the extending each other world view.

A place where everyone agrees with each other is boring and a waste of time.
True, but it make it easier to regulate things like price hikes.

I think there is a struggle between open source, having a viable business, and having a VC backed business. Folks aren't working that out well. VC backed businesses are different from viable businesses in that a viable business needs to be able to make money to pay expenses and operate while VC backed businesses need to make returns on investments for the VCs.

For open-source projects that are the top level (e.g., PostreSQL) and being paid to work on it... it's often useful to have an enterprise market and support model.

Side note, open source works better business model wise when things are more distributed. More centralized with megacorp clouds is harder for open source based businesses.

For libraries that can be used by many projects, open source is a great way to go. I've done semver, vcs, and other libs this way. They aren't the business thing being sold but enablers of other things being build.

Interfaces are great and we need more standard interfaces. They make is possible to have open source and proprietary solutions that work with the same stuff. Businesses can compete and work with more freedom to do so with open interfaces.

Businesses trying to have an open source software SaaS that they run in public clouds are always going to be at a disadvantage. The public cloud provider can always do it cheaper and undercut the business. Businesses that try to go that route will end up having business issues.

Physical products are another space all together. It's the thing (hardware + software) that make it work. Open source software is great there, too. I see it in the car I drive.

Where we license things as open source should be coupled to our thought out business models. It's not an open source or post open source world. It's about the right tool for the job in front of us. We need more thought and talk on that.
Glorious, thanks
You don't leak anything as the link doesn't seem to be accessible publicly (at least for me).

But it also feels kind of strange to me, that they complain about IPv4 shortage while still handing them out with each VPS instance despite a lot of users actually don't need or even don't want to have them. There should be an option, or even a small fee for a public IPv4 on cloud servers.

I'd argue that rather than building on Kubernetes, you should instead build a 12-factor app (https://12factor.net/). Those principles should allow you to take your app anywhere fairly easily, from Heroku to Kubernetes.
That's a non-issue in reality, as they haven't done that yet. When was the last time hate sites, or social media sites, or any sites, were blacklisted en masse by any public ISP in the US recently?

Don't get me wrong: I support net neutrality and greater regulation of ISPs. I believe the attacks on municipal service is wrong. And I believe the danger of ISP censorship is real - in theory.

I also wonder what, if anything, should be done to combat the virus that is misinformation on the social media giants.
In fact I'm pretty sure it's in the job description.
The brake system is one of these things that are literally lifesavers when they work and killers when they don't. I think that it's a good idea to have every part of that system - especially the easily accessible mechanical parts - off limits to untrained tinkerers. You can't undo injury or death that can result easily from a faulty brake.

The government is interested in welfare of itself, the state and its resources. If vehicular emissions cause a lot of CO2 emissions and hence climate change, the government will want to protect itself, it’s resources and its people. As for making rules or laws - that’s how the government implements such goals or objectives. (This is a slightly broad answer.)
not necessarily.

Take for example hard drives. A filesystem optimized for a spin drive will take into account that the needle has to move a physical distance and arrange files to minimize the movement of the needle.

While I agree that arrays are usually not the thing you want in bash, in the end to me this just feels a bit like having to adapt the job to the tool instead of being able to select the right tool for the job. Both of these principles have their place of course, but having to tell people something as common as an array is not really available in this widely used environment is like telling a carpenter to avoid nails or glue all together because this particular workshop only uses screws and an non-electric screwdriver. Perhaps not the most appropriate metaphore, but you get the point: mistakes will be made and time will be wasted. Because 'formatted stream of data' really means 'any tool can output a different arbitrarily formatted stream so if you need a field it is up to you to figure out how, every single time again because no-one can remember this for all possible tools anyway'.
There is a whole category of potentially exploitable bugs that result from programs simply running. Slow memory leaks, floating point precision loss, and integer overflows to name a few. But this is more likely about clearing caches.
