GitHub Actions are a fantastic experience for serverless applications. I am working on a serverless project where we use GitHub Actions exclusively for CI/CD as well as running automated tests. We rely heavily on Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB. Our client app is static JS files we serve over Cloud Font. GitHub Actions make our piplines accessible to any developer on the team. Since we only pay for what we use with our serverless infrastructure, we can even deploy each pull request to the cloud rather inexpensively and leverage GitHub's environments to help manage the cleanup for us. This allows our team members to review and test changes in their browser before we pull them into our development branch. We additionally can run Playwright E2E tests to verify that none of our critical user workflow scenarios have broken resulting from the PR changes. I love this development experience and would have a hard time going back to anything else.
Sure, you're not wrong. For my purposes that'd work, but I'm of the opinion that delegating that to an optional library will make a lot of developers lazy and not even bother thinking about Unicode/i18n/l10n issues at all. I've seen so much code, in a multitude of languages that is oblivious to it, but even if it's reified in a type or even having some form of language support, I guess you can argue that people can still ignore it.
You can't ramp up production if you don't have the batteries to do so.
The BBC is (overall) great. The licence fee though has always been a regressive tax.

Like with libraries, NHS, school, police etc. some crazy person will just have to suggest the unthinkable that taxpayers money creates YouTube (or whatever) content, and the lack of need for it to be a thinly disguised advert will make it much more enjoyable to watch.
I think it's too little too late. It's so much more than EV now, it's about FSD, AI, data collection, charging networks, owning mass battery production, automation of manufacturing, remote software updates, the center screen interface, service to the home networks, direct to customer sales infrastructure, solar panels on your home to charge your car, etc... I believe every car company is 10 years late responding and Tesla will destroy them like Apple iPhone destroyed Blackberry, Nokia, etc... If Ford can mass produce the electric F-150 before cybertruck hits, they may stand a chance (#1 selling vehicle in NA), but again, they are behind on so many of the other factors. I think Tesla will do it in a more streamlined way, more profitability and are ultimately heading towards a robo taxi network which isn't even in the competitors' visions.
A long time ago when I was a student and elected at my university's board, I built an entire CMS system using zenity (an equivalent of Yad) because I wanted non-technical people (other elected students) to be able to update a static website easily. We only had static web space to publish the board's documents and our minutes of each of the boards reunion for other students. It even worked okay over ssh with -X (of course I created a clic-me launcher for the other they wouldn't open a terminal and ssh -X into the university's server). It was… kinda fun, in its own way.
Totally agree

The ideal model, if I had some power/leadership 10 years ago with some foresight would have been:

- add a plug to the Prius for all-electric mode, get the technology to as many carmakers as possible with whatever negotiated means possible.

- push them to increase the all-electric mode to 50 miles

- once tech was doable, impose incentives/requirements/taxation that required all new cars be PHEV. Especially for trucks/SUVs.

- incentivize home charging and start incentivizing gas stations to have plugs as well as a requirement to staying in business

Given the current supply of cobalt, nickel, lithium, etc, the most effective way to electrify consumer transportation is the 50 mile PHEV. It would have electrified 95% of daily trips for those vehicles, and eliminates range anxiety for the longer trips until the infrastructure is done.

With that and Toyota's lead, the plug in hybrid would have provided practical market "EV" leadership probably through 2030. It is mystifying to me why they dragged their feet to add a simple plug to the system. A massive management failure that ceded not only pseudo-EV leadership, but leadership in the hybrid market.

Toyota may be able to coattail the nascent OEM market for EV components and leverage their status as current #1 to keep afloat, but so many companies are far ahead in the vertical integration for the EV. An OEM component EV will be inferior to vertically integrated manufacturers (Tesla currently, VW and probably GM soon).

I'd guess that the OEM model of ICE drivetrains is basically an extreme optimization of a long-running design. Early ICE companies were probably vertically integrated intheir parts/components manufacturing until specific market competition for components between dedicated OEM manufacturers could eventually beat the in-house teams.

But EVs are a MASSIVE revolution in terms of the core components, and designs are innovating/evolving so rapidly that you can't tie yourself to components. Look at Tesla, they are building their own motors, batteries/chemistries, and even minerals extraction pipelines per battery investor day.

OEM ecosystems only exist once a sufficient number of cars are using a component. So an automotive OEM EV motor won't be competitive with Tesla until several generations of EVs go through the market, and a generation for a car is at least 5 years traditionally?

Almost all the car companies annoucing EV programs/funding aside from VW and maybe GM are just doing the OEM model: we'll get some OEM motors and OEM batteries, slap them onto a traditional OEM ICE platform. And boom, the CEO gets to tell major activist shareholders that he isn't being left behind: please don't fire me like you canned the BMW CEO.

Toyota is likely still stuck in OEM mode. They can't maintain leadership with that mentality, the vertical integration model will win for the next two decades at least, even if solid state closes some of the tech gap with Tesla for the main auto people (which is what they are basically all gambling on)

I was dismayed when Docker effectively (and quietly) declared that they were no longer supporting Docker Swarm.

Docker Swarm remains far simpler to set up, run, and troubleshoot than Kubernetes.

I just can't choose it over K8s, though, knowing that it's unsupported.
The question wasn’t about the abbreviation, but about what wildcard expansion has to do with "global".
> I don't think a lot of people are in the halfway point where they think 1 shot is safe but 2 shots are unsafe.

In fact, there seems to be grounds to believe that people are extra susceptible to infection and illness during the period between the first shot and the two weeks following the second. Lumping people in that group are together with others who have never received a shot has the effect of keeping the number of hospitalizations and deaths from Covid19 among the vaccinated low.

As of 8/30, the rate of known deaths from Covid19 among those fully vaccinated has risen to 11/100,000 roughly 0.01 percent. It takes time to get exposed, infected, hospitalized, and die. We are a long way from that rate stabilizing. In the meantime, if things go as planned, there won't be anyone to compare with (but, of course, the definition of "fully vaccinated" will keep changing as needed).

> it is safer to get vaccinated than not.

Is it? Even if one has had Covid19?

Idk if you need to be so cynical about motivation. It takes a lot of money to just quit young and do nothing but what you want. Buy a house, travel, have hobbies, family. You need millions in your back account to do these things. So we continue to work. How much money do you think people are making and how much do you think people need?
It's possible that the most self-made successful people see wealth / money as a means to pick what they want to spend 70 hours doing rather than whether to spend 70 hours doing anything. If they want to spend 70 hours a week playing tennis so be it. Or if they want to work on a new idea they had, equally fair. It is likely that success ultimately only buys the freedom to choose where to spend your time.

I know I've worked jobs and internships which required only couple of hours a day - and I was miserable. Working >70 hours a week on my own startup has felt more rewarding than any previous job :)

There is no mention on LXC/jails which is ofcourse the biggest inspiration for docker, if I am not mistaken it also used lxc under the hood. That was already a good'ish product and but hard to configure and not for the mainstream at the time. Docker introduced AUFS and downloading of images which was added. I always saw docker as a properly marketed nicely ribboned lxc but mediocre implemented since they removed a lot of options at that time that were super useful like cpu limiting etc from std lxc.

Yup, California was an open carry state until the GOP assemblyman Mulford and GOP Governor Ronald Reagan signed the Mulford Act into law banning the legal carry of loaded firearms. History is indeed stranger than fiction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act

the bill was crafted with the goal of disarming members of the Black Panther Party who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods, in what would later be termed copwatching.[1][2] They garnered national attention after Black Panthers members, bearing arms, marched upon the California State Capitol to protest the bill.

Hydrogen -- liquified hydrogen -- makes sense for large aircraft, rockets, and eventually bulk storage, and not much else.

The reason hydrogen makes sense for aircraft is the huge advantage of carrying enormously less weight of fuel up to the stratosphere. Add to that, that it will be produced and stored directly at airports from surplus peak electric power, thus obviating need for a great deal of other storage capacity, and of expense extracting, refining, and transporting petroleum.

Its downside is it needs much more space on board, thus new airframes with aerogel-insulated tankage somewhere other than in skinny wings.

We need a government-led initiative to get major airports outfitted with LH2 production and storage systems, to solve the inherent chicken-and-egg problem and get those new airframes into the pipeline. Any extra storage capacity an airport builds out substitutes for storage elsewhere. Airports could afford to get into the load-balancing business in a big way.
GitHub’s UX is worth it, IMO. GitLab tries to do too many things and it’s really hard to get my bearings (it’s like Azure DevOps’ problem times 10). And if GitHub Actions doesn’t work, it’s really easy to integrate third party CI solutions.

Every HN comment section has a different audience than the next. My hypothesis is that a large chunk of the audience of a given article is people that are irked by the title and join in to express their discontent. This explains the 'top comment is the antithesis of the article' phenomenon.
Agreed that a calorie deficit + regular exercise + good sleep + managing stress is the recipe for a six-pack -- and indeed you can do it yourself!

In a similar vein, the resources to learn how to code are freely available online. Instead of going to a bootcamp, one could learn on their own (and indeed there are bootcamps that put up their whole curriculum online for free, and it's exactly the same as their paid in-person version).

In practice though, it's not so easy. It takes a lot of willpower and discipline to stick with both a weight loss program and learning how to code. Being put in a structured environment, with other people working towards the same goal, and getting personalized coaching when stuck can make the difference for those who have tried in the past to do it on their own.

That's what we provide!
Fix the Police has produced many feel-good policies that have not had an impact. Defund the Police at least gets people's attention. It may be opening the conversation to a range of options, but I’m afraid it may be also reflexively hardening some opinions.

This is a really smart setup, and superbly documented.

The numbers listed in the article don't actually support the author's argument at all.

> Netflix spent $11.8bn in 2020, Disney is expecting to spend $8-9bn on Disney+ content by 2024, and Amazon is estimated to be spending $7bn this year alone. By contrast, according to the BBC’s most recent annual report, it spent about £980m ($1.3bn) on “programme-related assets and other inventories” in the 2020/21 financial year.

Netflix/Disney/Amazon and the rest are catering to a much larger and more varied user base, and BBC should absolutely be able to compete with ~1/5 the budget for its 67 million residents. A British public broadcaster does not need to make Korean dramas or Bollywood movies or launch $25m/episode blockbuster franchises.

Why the hand-wringing over show budgets? One of the greatest shows I have ever watched, People Just Do Nothing - a BBC production - must have had a budget one one thousandth of a Marvel show but I would re-watch it a hundred times before I bothered with a single episode of that generic PG-13 comic book dreck. And I can say the same for all of the BBC greats.

BBC doesn't need to compete on budget. Netflix may pour billions into soulless generic crap that attracts eyeballs but if that's what you want from BBC you're missing the whole point of a public broadcaster.

(I'm not British and I don't live there, but I am eternally grateful to BBC for producing almost all of my favourite TV shows and podcasts).
Wait and see. Netflix was once the place for new fresh shows but it's a victim of it's shareholders value. Most shows don't survive the 1st season. If the BBC tries to copy Netflix they will lose, if they stick to their last it might work out.
If society doesn't fall apart, that number could mean an awful lot.

Bringing Back ‘Geocities-Style’ Webrings
Surely, it must have seemed so to the Soviets. Allied forces landed in many locations and the Czechs occupied a long strip through the middle. Wiki gives these numbers:

1,500 French and British troops originally landed in Arkhangelsk
14,378 British troops in North Russia
1,800 British troops in Siberia
50,000 Romanian troops belonging to the 6th Romanian Corps under General Ioan Istrate, in Bessarabia.
23,351 Greeks, who withdrew after three months (part of I Army Corps under Maj. Gen. Konstantinos Nider, comprising 2nd and 13th Infantry Divisions, in the Crimea, and around Odessa and Kherson)
15,000 French also in the Southern Russia Intervention
40,000 British troops in the Caucasus region by January 1919
13,000 Americans (in the Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok regions)
11,500 Estonians in northwestern Russia
2,500 Italians in the Arkhangelsk region and Siberia
1,300 Italians in the Murmansk region.
150 Australians (mostly in the Arkhangelsk regions)
950 British troops in Trans-Caspia
70,000+ Japanese soldiers in the Eastern region
4,192 Canadians in Siberia, 600 Canadians in Arkhangelsk
