So much this! I have multiple business entities that all use separate accounts on many different services. I use the Window Titler extension and different windows for each business entity. This is the only way I can keep them all straight and it makes switching roles so easy. I just wish Firefox allowed me to Move Tab to a specific already opened window - seems like such a simple addition.

Unfortunately one of the services doesn't function properly on Firefox and so I have a constant nightmare of sign-in / sign-out / disable automatic sign-in (that somehow get auto checked) on de-googled Chrome.
Depends if you use more range to increase total car range, or you want to use less of the batteries to make the car "cheaper".

Currently the market is taking any range over low 300 miles and just making the car "cheaper".

Congratulations to them. My dad has worked manual labour since he left school aged 15 - first as a shipbuilder and then in the oil industry. My mum retired from teaching a year ago then developed lymphoma.

Both of these people are in their 60s and have earned their retirement - we need not extract any more "productivity" from them. Leave them be.

Congrats on the HN launch, Rune!
All good comments and I don't disagree completely. Most humans get around just find reading books and communicating.

Interestingly though, there are miscommunications between humans and not just because someone said "the man saw a boy with his telescope" without sufficient context.

The intractable problem is that human language has evolved to require context or presumption of intent and these are not stated or confirmed. Therefore probabilities MUST be assigned to them. There is no exactness because the context and intent are not stated/communicated/written, they are by definition assumed.

This assumed knowledge works in many cases but fails in others. The difficulty comes when the audience does not AGREE with the assumption.

TLDR: Humans communicate by assuming that their audiences share some of their beliefs but sometimes the unspoken beliefs of the audience don't match the speakers'.
I read it as Q ovary, which after a moments thought my brain turned into queer ovary (taking inspiration from the Q in LGBTQ). That still didn't make any sense.
That isn't true if you set your default engine to DDG or Startpage though! Would be quite the dystopian agreement between Google and Mozilla if so.

I use it for notes too, and being able to update and resubmit my last search easily. And it's probably the core reason why I can't leave Firefox. The tab sync/send is just better too.
Yeah, same experience. We had to write our own “terraform” like tooling to make use of it (retry loops and the like). It has (had? This was a couple years ago) no awareness, for example, of AWS, so out comes the SDK and Go.

“Why not just create templates with the SDK, constrain configurable fields with regex?”, I offered.

“CUE has typed feature structures!”, they said.

“FML.”, I thought.

It didn’t simplify configuration at all.

What simplifies configuration is all the people that know an existing tool and can be productive in it. As a late-comer CUE has none of that advantage.

Businesses want to solve business problems. Not meditate on one problem in perpetuity.
> Cryptocurrency doesn't help you buy a drink or a book.

It is possible to buy a drink or a book with cryptocurrency. A law that requires the book or drink seller to KYC the buyer would make this difficult without putting the buyer at risk.

Of course, most sellers of drinks and books don't accept cryptocurrency. Which is why KYC needs to be removed from applying to credit cards rather than being extended to cryptocurrency.

> It does, however, help the rich avoid taxes and launder money.

Which is the thing laws can have no effect on, because they can't actually change how cryptocurrency works. The laws an exchange in the US is subject to don't apply to one in Venezuela or Russia. If you can exchange a million dollars worth of Bitcoin for dollars or gold bars anywhere in the world then it will be worth it for anyone dealing in large sums to go there when they want to cash out. That's already happened. It's the consequence of its existence and you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

All the laws do is invade the privacy of law-abiding people and put vulnerable populations at risk. Criminals don't follow laws.
Did you not evaluate linstor?
I think the distinction lies in the fact that "play" activities are done for their own sake. This is an essential part of the experience of "being" (IMO) as it entails performing activities simply because one enjoys them.

Compare this to "work" in the sense of a problem that needs to be solved with the application of human resources as standing-reserve.

I agree that the concept of "humanity" is constantly evolving. I think the ways in which society will change in order to reflect this evolution in humanity are super interesting to explore.
Yes it's TRUE. In SF the schools district removed Algebra from the middle school curriculum. You should read The Dictators Handbook, it details why dismantling education piece by piece is a great way to stay in power. You'd expect it in a dictatorship but not in SF.
Really? We got the most vulnerable population vaccinated pretty quickly.

And today we have plenty of vaccines. Is it really a catastrophe that it took 2 months longer?

(Two summer months with weather slightly less conductive to virus transmission)
Prior to covid, it was estimated that 3% of the population were immunocompromised.

Genuinely curious - Did you wear a mask prior? Would you continue to wear a mask past the epidemic, even for the rest of your life, to protect the 3% vulnerable?
Yeah, why not, if you are concerned about your privacy? I recently got my MacBook Air back from the repair for the same problem. It was a friend's place so I didn't really have much problems and I didn't factory reset, but I wouldn't really trust someone I didn't know about my sensitive data. I think you should wipe your Mac anyway, given how seamless Time Machine recovery is nowadays.
To translate that "80% after 1000 cycles" into more practical numbers: with a 300-mile-range battery, that means you'd have a 240-mile-range after driving 300,000 miles.
Most people know a little bit. That's the thing with Scots, it's highly miscible with English so it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.

Exactly. Despite countless occurrences of automated systems getting things wrong--there is no such thing as AI, remember, just fallible developers and their fallible formulae--somehow the naive continue to trust in these systems. It's insane, and those of us who do know how insane it is are left to pay the price for the naivete.

Same company 100%. You won't find many companies willing to hire someone externally who only has IC experience into management.

I went went from senior to tech lead while changing companies to work for the same manager, and then from tech lead to manager within the same company. Have since switched to EM at other companies. I've never seen an example of someone going from IC in one company -> EM in another company.
>when many workers are now either WFH or hybrid working and only going in a couple of days each week.

Probably depends on how companies do hybrid although the ones I've heard plans from seem to be looking at hoteling arrangements which will cut total space.

It’s mentioned in this article[1] but they won’t tell you the specific contract. I assumed it was universal but I guess Federal and State agencies negotiate their own contracts.

It’s crazy that we’re forced to distinguish between tabs, windows, history, bookmarks in the browser, and bookmarks in a 3rd party service like Pinboard. What overhead!

Why can’t our browsers just act like 2nd brains, remember it all, and have killer search to find and/or resurface it?

Growing up in the US we were fed a "mythology" about Russian and Chinese schooling that claimed it was all rote memorization without actual understanding. It's been clear for a long time that this was nothing more a form of American exceptionalist propaganda. I wonder if it was ever true? I suspect not.

The tragic thing is it now appears that US STEM education (at least for non-elite schools) is closer to the rote-memorization/calculator-bot curriculums than every other school system.
> the tree of knowledge is a Bad Thing in the Genesis story

Not at all. I'm certain that it differs between faiths, but in mine (Judaism), the tree of knowledge was not A Bad Thing.

Eating the forbidden fruit / fruit of knowledge exposed Adam and Eve to evil things; tarnishing their purity. After they ate the fruit, they awakened. They desired to wear clothes, possess things, have children, etc.

What we learn from this is that knowledge is not good or bad; it's how we use it that makes the difference. And from the standpoint of an "awakening" and mystical experience, the connection to psilocybin deserves further study.
Someone does a couple hundred necroscopies of dead individuals and finds no cancer deaths and decides to go digging, I suspect. There are captive colonies of the things, as they're more obviously interesting in a variety of ways.
If this comment bothers you then I would suggest not googling "cops ignoring serial killers" or similar. There are instances of them handing over victims of serial killers back to the killers themselves. Incompetence doesn't even begin to describe it.

I've seen people use Wallarm (https://www.wallarm.com/). They have a controller based on nginx-ingress-controller that you can deploy into your k8s cluster. I'm building a platform on top of k8s and the clusters we provision use the same setup (cert-manager + ALB + nginx-ingress). Worth a try!

Best resource I could find on picking names for products/company name is "Hello, My Name Is Awesome" by Alexandra Watkins. I really recommend it to anyone struggling to find a good name.

In short it talkes about 5 qualities of a good name and 7 qualities of a bad name.

IMO name Qovery for sure touches on 1 bad quality:

* spelling challanged - que-overy, it should be pronounced Covery right?

After some time, it doesn't sound that bad, it's just that this Q and o look unnatural next to each other. BTW. Alexandra ripped apart people saying "Google" is a good name - no it isn't :) we just got used to it

Many in teachers' unions don't want to be rated on how badly public schools are doing. It's not all the fault of teachers, granted, but incentives of the union here is not always aligned with the students. Many don't want to hear it, but it needs to be said as a factor.

Agreed - service animals are not pets. Just want to make sure others know the distinction. And that service animals are generally allowed anywhere a person is allowed (often by law).

My parents had a beach home rental for years. It was a gigantic pain in the butt. Tenants would break furniture, steal things, and generally treat the house poorly (with zero recourse, as the the house was 5 hours from primary residence and "managed" by a rental agency). Only "upside" was this was priced into the fees. I don't think I would ever do short-term rentals to a remote house - too much risk, too much work.

Is there a website where this kind of bullshit does not reach the front page?

Animals cannot, in principle, use abstract concepts because it requires language and brain centers which never been evolved in these branches of evolution.

Also counting is an association (pairing) with instances of an abstract concept of a number which requires a language and a culture.

> Instead, different components of the same page will update magically, giving it a similar feel to a native application. This model has also become more popular because ten billion ⁽ᶜᶦᵗᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ⁿᵉᵉᵈᵉᵈ⁾ different frontend JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue and Angular, etc.) have come into existence.

Seems like a real "wet sidewalks cause rain" story. The model was becoming more popular among developers and then they made frameworks seems more likely than the other way around.

Then the "ten billion" part. The three frameworks he listed dominate. Everything in "etc." is minor in comparison.

I find this meme about JS frameworks lazy. (Note: totally a web backend person, so I should be the first to do the teasing). There seem to be much more boring answers:

1. With some exceptions (ClojureScript, TypeScript, Elm, ...), everyone who writes for the browser is forced to write JS. On the backend, people can express different opinions by using different languages (Python, Ruby, Java, Elixir, ...). So people that would split themselves into language camps on the backend are more likely to split into framework camps on the frontend.

2. The frontend environment is constantly changing (browsers) so the code is going to be churnier. You can't just not upgrade like you can on the backend.

3. User interfaces are more iterative than backend stuff, so the code is going to be churnier.

4. All this churn makes a rewrite more accessible and tempting.

I just find it easier to believe that there's some difference in the constraints and freedoms of JS devs that causes them to make more (but not really that many more) frameworks, rather than there's some secret character flaw or something.

> Apple didn't build the first smartphone; they made it mass market because the technology (which Apple did not invent) had gotten to where bundling it into a smartphone would provide sufficient value to a consumer to be worth paying for.

IIRC, that was already true for business customers before the iPhone.

> There were other mass market smartphones even then; what the iphone brought was UX (so kudos for Jobs for hiring Jony Ive) and an app store (so kudos for Jobs either for recognizing the benefit of allowing others to do the work to extend the iphone's software capabilities, or for hiring someone who did).

IIRC, the previous smartphone brought email, what the iPhone brought was email and the Web. With regard to the app store, I'm not sure if Jobs really deserves much kudos for accepting what users were already doing with their devices rather than continuing to try to force his original vision (first party native apps and web apps only, no third party native apps).

How often does one even migrate DB’s? I’ve always seen the advice, but other than an explicit goal of supporting SQLite + Postgres simultaneously, I’ve never actually ending up needing to move.

And given that RDBMS’s tend to do have roughly similar performance profiles, except when they have radically different profiles (e.g. switching from row to columnar, or unique optimizations eg GIS in postgres), there’s not much incentive to be moving around — unless you hit the end of the envelope, at which point you’re probably looking at a re-design anyways if you’re already looking at re-architecting it.

And if you’re switching to something with a different performance profile, you’re going to be rewriting those queries anyways.

Personally I stopped considering databases as “standardized” or swappable — and using an ORM for hot swapping purposes I think might be as ridiculous as using a library for unifying web server frameworks (you can definitely do it… but your common denominator is fairly pathetic).

The only scenario I’ve seen where one changes DB with an explicit goal of minor code changes is migrating from some legacy DB on some ancient version to something more modern (especially today, targeting a DB the cloud can auto-manage), where your ORM DB flexibility won’t help you whatsoever
