SQL is great for querying (and steampipe exists just for that reason), but the point of Terraform is to be a desired state configuration system; SQL updates would remove its best feature. You could use the database as the desired state, but then it would no longer be readable text that you can version-control.

Terraform code is equivalent to the desired content of the database, and running plan generates the required update queries to make it happen.

That doesn't sound about right. Maybe he just chose the wrong ones? I agree that the churn rate for methodologies and architectures is high in the industry, but not so much for programming languages. Java is 25+ year old. C# is close. Python is not going anywhere soon. Even Cobol is still somewhat relevant today.

I can't get into the article now because I've reached my limit but there was a line that said "Why do we only charge Elizabeth Holmes? When will we find those CEOs who let blatant vaccine misinformation guilty of causing harm?"

If your view is that a CEO of a social media company should be held liable that really need its own op-ed, not a single sentence. I find it impossible to believe that one could think the reason the CEO of a social media site is not being charged is due to their gender. No one has been held liable (no publisher, writer, etc.) for vaccine misinfo. Its a complete garbage argument that undermines other legitimate claims of sexism in SV
> a staking oligopoly can remain oligopoly is by controlling the majority of coins and not selling those coins which in effect means that a PoS oligopolies don't make any money from being oligopolies. In fact maintaining a staking oligopoly would destroy all the money that was invested in creating it.

Eh, maybe. I think there's a lot of middle ground between selling freely/anonymously to anyone and not selling at all.

> They can't stop them from running their machines but they can stop them from producing any blocks that are accepted in to the chain making it unprofitable for anybody not part of the oligopoly to mine.

I think/hope that would destroy whatever coin that was, and far more quickly, because there's no way to be subtle about that one - everyone can see blocks being broadcast and ignored. Whereas if every time an outsider tries to buy some coins, their name didn't quite match for KYC and they need to resubmit their documents, or someone else bought them first, or the exchange suddenly needs to freeze all transactions to investigate an issue, you can maintain the illusion of an active market for quite some time.
I was a (small) part of the Spectrum hackers clique in Warsaw. Most of us had "Masterface" which was a hardware extension that had a switch to replace the ZX ROM with a custom-baked one and used NMI to do things like snapshotting the state of the machine to tape or loading a custom debugger.

The first one was used for pirating games (but pirating by snapshotting was considered cheap) but the debugger was the real deal. It fit in the screen memory (so as to mess as little as possible with the game memory) and let us discover "pokes" for infinite lives. I think it was called Fox Mon or Foxmon?

Cool times.
Sorry that author had a bad experience. As a current employee, I have a different experience. Some things that company did since I joined:

- work from anywhere (after covid)

- it gives day offs to whole company to help with burnout

- it added perks for mental health

- it has 6 months maternity leave (this was only for moms, now both parents get 6 months)

- I didn’t have any issues when I wanted to get PTO

- it provided financial package to help with work from home setup

Having said these, I understand experience depends a lot to your direct manager.

I completely disagree what author says about founders. I think integrity and doing good is their core.
> Given the perception of many YouTubers as being more 'pure' ideological advocates

What do you mean by this? Perhaps I haven't searched deep enough, but to me, YouTube these days consists primarily of:

- Content creators, who are in it absolutely for the money, and whatever channel they run is just an excuse to get people to view ads (including product placement, and ads for creator's Patreon);

- Conspiracy nuts, who may or may not also be in it for the ad money;

- People reposting copyrighted content without having the copyright (i.e. the category that's responsible for YouTube's success in the first place);

- Media companies posting copyrighted content legally to take over the ad revenue stream.

There's some sprinkling of people who genuinely want to talk about their hobbies or ideas, without optimizing it for monetization. And here and there someone uploads some random video to share with friends. But the way I experience YouTube, almost all content creators are either marketers or wannabe marketers.
But that's the only way to use instagram, and I don't think it's great workflow.
Finally, someone reasonable on the matter. I can only assume the type of people to argue for state secrets would be those directly benefiting from them, and trust me a lot of people receive a lot of money because of them.

Honestly I hope they keep UI elements from Windows 2000, because they are functional and informative. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. But at least it allows you to administrate the system.

MacOS is nice to use, but that is also restricted to daily use cases. If you want to administrate the system, you have an UI from the 70s, mainly the terminal. If you remove older UI elements from Windows, you are left with a useless toy box.

There is no single instance where the new setting perform better than the old ones, on the contrary it is a complete unstructured mess. They should remove it and try again in my opinion.
I've been seeing the implication around in this post - including here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28561255 to quote:

I assume GP's fix is, "Don't accept below-market pay."

which implies to me that people were accepting below market pay because - reasons?

on edit:

>Do you not see how someone can feel mislead if told X will not happen and X thing happens?

sure, but in the case of someone having accepted below market pay I can see how being misled would have meant an actual hurt suffered.

Let's say I like to bake cakes and the school announces this year because of Corona there will not be a bake sale but then 4 days before they announce guess what there will be anyway! Then I would be upset because I had changed my behavior based on what they said and now I couldn't undo it. I guess anyone who stayed at the company because it wouldn't be sold would feel mislead but why I guess I have a hard time considering to stay at a company because it wouldn't be sold as a decision I would make - I would want other reasons to stay at a company that would not matter whether it was sold or not.

It's obviously a failure of imagination on my part, so it would be good to have an actual scenario as to how someone would feel hurt not just if someone says X and its not X you are mislead, because you still need the part about how X made you do Y instead of Z.
Slide is a great, open source app that works on Android and IOS for reddit just fine. You don't have to use the reddit site or app if you don't want to. But it's fine to skip it too I suppose. I just find it far superior to other social media like twitter, facebook, and instagram. It certainly has it's warts but it is quite easy to simply choose your subset of forums and ignore everything else.
Not just that, Chinese politicians also understand what key technologies (or even whole companies) to prioritize buying or stealing from the West, like EV and battery tech, renewables, networking, robotics, AI and semiconductors.

While German politicians still ask for the internet to be printed for them.
Thank you for this insight! That WOULD make sense!

Unfortunately given the shadiness of pricing in telecoms I believe the pricing and unit of measure are not technical-based and the bits part is not because they are actually super technical about it.
I had to give a talk on coding a few years back. I brought in my Acorn Atom to show people what I started on. 12Kb of memory, no hard drive, no sound card, no network, monochrome display. The BASIC language it knew had maybe 10 keywords, and the Assember had another couple dozen commands. Everything in the computer was simple, easily understood, and robust (turning the computer off wiped everything except the ROM - essentially a factory reset every time).

I compared that to my phone - 256Gb of storage, 32Gb of memory, plus sound, graphics, wifi, and the kitchen sink.

Learning on the Atom was easy because it was so simple. And as I mastered it, so computers became more complicated. It was, in many ways, the perfect method of teaching tech. A new programmer nowadays has to learn so much so quickly to be able to write anything useful, it's often overwhelming. Trying to teach my gf how to code was painful because we were always bumping into rabbit holes of complexity, which we could either go down and waste whole days, or avoid and leave an area of ignorance that would bite later. I never had that problem. It's humbling - I wonder if I would even be a dev if I hadn't had that advantage?
It's not paternalism. At every step of the way, a reduction in the price of cars harms more people than it helps, and the majority of the world would rightly be against it. Trying to bypass that by imagining a quantum leap to 100x cheaper cars without anything in between is just muddying the waters.

Tell me you don't hunt without telling me you don't hunt. Typically, after killing an animal, you skin it and hang it to drain before cutting it into steaks and cooking it. Similar to what happens in a wet market.

> If you're implying mandatory vaccinations, sure.

I'm not. At-risk populations will make the right decisions for themselves. Even republicans have high vaccination rates above a certain age. To any extent that this isn't happening, more education is the way to go.

Remember: the vaccines are about preventing serious illness. Not eliminating the virus.

As for hospital capacity, it's interesting how vaccine mandates are drastically exacerbating this issue, given how many frontline health care workers, who are largely naturally immune, are being fired or walking off the job due to these mandates.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. We largely do have physical capacity. We even have the ability to spin up more than is current online. Our bottleneck is the supply of medical professionals themselves.

> The space race was possibly the pinnacle of the principle that government spending can accelerate technological progress in particular fields by raining money on those fields.

Actually, that might be electronics and computers. The basis for Silicon Valley was created during WWII - by unrestrained debt-based government spending.

https://youtu.be/ZTC_RxWN_xo -- "Secret History of Silicon Valley"

Of course, maybe trying to rank the developments by industry or sector makes no sense, sooo much was influenced by what happened in that period. Agriculture too, if what I read and remember correctly a lot of WWII chemical industry was reused for things like fertilizer, but I don't have a good (i.e. direct and good quality scientific study instead of some blog post or pop book) source for that.

I dislike this separation of "government" vs. "business". I remember an MIT biology course (genetics) where the professor explained Gregor Mendel (the guy with the beans) a bit more - his circumstances. That man wasn't some random person who purely by chance happened to be interested in biology and inheritance. Turns out he was part of a far wider effort of church, state and industry to produce economic progress. Historically, even looking at how England became a world power, there never was such a separation. Government always acted as an extension of economic interests in combination with the merchants, later with the capitalists.

Planned shut down for coal is 2038 in Germany (17 years from now). Or quite possibly a bit sooner if the green party manages to negotiate that in a potential 3 party government negotiation that might be kicking off end of this month.

There's this myth that Germany started burning more coal in response to the nuclear shut down. That kind of never happened. Coal proportion in Germany has been slowly shrinking for years, just like in most of the rest of the world. Peak coal was around the same time Fukushima happened. It actually dropped almost as fast as nuclear in the years after: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...

The only thing other than renewables that has had any growth in Germany is gas. But it's not nearly as much as the amount of coal and nuclear that disappeared from the market. The real story is that the energy market has nearly doubled in 20 years in Germany. Fossil fueled plants combined are now only about 40% of that. With coal gone and the overall market continuing to grow, that will drop to single digit percentages pretty soon. Like nuclear in Germany today.

The French nuclear market is slowly shrinking as well. They too are shifting to renewables and are slowly shutting down aging nuclear plants from last century. They are still building a few new plants of course but it does not compensate for the lost capacity. A lot of aging plants are reaching their end of life in the next decades. Most of them will not be replaced probably. And with decades long planning cycles, you can kind of tell by noticing that plans for those are simply not being conceived. Just not a thing. Most ongoing nuclear construction in Europe is many years late, billions over budget, and simply the result of planning cycles that started in decades ago.
That said we should be much more accommodating in our user interfaces to help prevent this kind of crap data.

Since when “subjective” became “irrelevant”? You love how your home is built and you’ve done much to make its rooms and areas comfortable and useful. You know it from the roof to the basement. “Nah, a lot of it is subjective”, says the Home Redesign Standarten Führer and rebuilds it from scratch every few years, throwing out “this unnecessary, that obsolete” furniture and appliances. “There are often reasons to change, sir, and sometimes reasons to keep things”, mentions he, looking at you insightfully in his black uniform, while you’re trying to cope with the irreversible damage.
I honestly could never understand the focus on jobs and employment as a primary measure.

Like if we said, employment is necessary so people can make a living, no problem.

If we said, employment is necessary to get essential work done, also no problem.

But we actually do neither. Instead, employment seems to be a goal of its own. A company is worth saving if it "provides jobs". Nevermind if those jobs have no benefit to society and don't provide employees with a living wage, all that counts is that they are jobs...
That's all good, but even if I create something that solves a problem and publish the site - nobody knows about it. I get 10 visitors per day.

So I guess the question is not how to get the first 1$, but how to get first 1000 of (even free) users

Australia is not a nuclear nation and as such, is normally not supposed to be able to buy nuclear devices of any sort. Which is why they initially bought French submarines that are nuclear but asked them to be retrofitted for standard propulsion.

What the US and the UK did here is a breach of a worldwide agreement by nuclear powers to not supply non nuclear ones in order to restrict nuclear proliferation. Which is one reason the French are pissed - the US took away their contract by breaking a rules the French had stuck to.
