To the instrument analogy it's like Beethoven's 5th. Almost anyone can play the beginning on the piano with a few minutes of fooling around (dun dun dun da....). But to actually play the entire thing well will take years of practice because it's the other parts that are hard to get right and must be correct to work.

>SOAP and its XML schema and result is 100x more complicated than JSON. The problems outweighed the benefits.

Please mention a few of these problems, I'm curious to hear.

The problem I see with REST/JSON-APIs is that they lack features that have to be tacked on after, creating an endless bikeshedding nightmare and instead of having one well-thought out solution, you get three or four solutions sloppily hacked together. Schemas are a prime example, actually: SOAP appears to come with them out of the box, while REST/JSON-APIs either lack them (just about as bad as not having any type system in your language, i.e. really bad) or tack them on after the fact with something like OpenAPI, which is honestly not great as far as schema languages go.

Again, I say this as someone who has professionally used SOAP only once, and very briefly at that. Not advocating that we should re-adopt SOAP - I think that ship has sailed since long ago - but I really want to understand its opponents opposition to the positive qualities it appears to have.

This is a tired argument, and slightly hypocritical. Usually, the same people are proponents of not-so-useful but indirectly beneficial science projects and space exploration. But when it comes to military, the same reasoning gets thrown out of the window. Defense is a necessary evil and history has shown that things go from peaceful to high-tension heated global theater in no time. The inertia of training people to defend the nation or a group of nations is too large. Posture avoids conflict, the whole point of doing these military exercises.

I think all aspects of doing things that private enterprises or free market economy cannot simply afford should be maintained. From how nuclear weapons work to sending probes to Venus to smashing protons. The brain power needs to be fed with regular annual maintenance. It shouldn't be a partisan circus. This is an actual need / problem. Sure, the feeding frenzy can get the MIC to show the dark side of capitalism, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Also Defense is a diplomacy business: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_pact trading it for soft power, coercion, economic benefit, regional peace, etc.

> Sorry this wasn't a well written, well thought piece.

Are you kidding? This is one of most eloquent and thoughtful responses I’ve ever had to a question on HN.

Thanks for taking the time to put your thoughts down. Everything you’ve said makes total sense, and it totally balances out my original gut reaction which was “fuck Apple and Google, just pull out of the country rather than giving in to these sorts of demands”.

Having followed Navalny’s story, I felt outraged that these two massive tech companies can’t even keep his political support app online to just give a modicum of support to the guy single-handedly (almost) taking on Putin.

What I didn’t consider, and what’s made much more clear to me by your brilliant response, is that it may only be due to the proliferation of “generally open” (relatively) tech companies like Apple and Google in Russia that has allowed Navalny to build momentum and support there in the first place.

The benefits of better communication and easier proliferation of ideas that are brought by the internet and the tech companies that enable this “communication and idea sharing infrastructure” can be easily overlooked.

If you have a blog or somewhere to publish your ideas, you should totally publish this comment as an article as it’s insightful and brilliant.

> Fast forward to Donald Trump leaving the JCPOA, putting a "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran.

> The economy went to shit (it's really a humanitarian crisis now). The government, scared of riots, locked everything down…

At the risk of digging in a bit politically here… I’m curious if Donald Trump’s actions here were a crucial tipping point in your view or if there were other factors too that were obviously at play? As much as I’d love to blame it all on Trump I’m curious if he exacerbated things that were already slipping, or if he (and the Republicans) precipitated it…
No, I don't think there is. There was an interesting The Atlantic article posted the other day that touches on what you mentioned that's worth a read: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/dead-...

I've developed mod-bots for Reddit that are meant to combat garbage bot accounts and garbage youtube channels but it's an unending onslaught of garbage.
Was there a lot of competing standards in SOAP, leading to incompatibility between libraries? That would indeed seem to defeat the point, if true.
This can be true but ultimately if this is a fear, you need VC money.
I cannot see it any other way. If I encourage you to inform yourself how to amputate yourself, then I'm indirectly telling you to do said thing.

The article makes some valid points. If an American investment bank in Shanghai only wants a bright number-cruncher with a top-tier MBA, it definitely doesn't need to import one from the US or Europe. There are plenty of MBAs in China who can be put through the investment bank grinder.

But the article totally dismisses the factors of culture and foreign know-how. For some roles, having a well-educated local who speaks English (or a foreign language) isn't enough. Instead, some roles require highly specialized knowledge and experience that isn't common in the local market, and a way of thinking and doing things that is uncommon (or non-existent) in the local market.

In other words, you bring in a foreigner because a foreign way of thinking and doing things is what is needed.

That would indeed be a huge downside - the point of a specifiation would be to have interoperability be entirely seamless. If SOAP failed on that account, then it deserves its fate.

Because someone has had jobs at 8 tech companies that makes them a bad employee? The only way I have ever gotten a meaningful raise is by changing companies; it feels like the norm to be at a company for a lot less now-a-days.

Personally, I was loyal to a company for 10 years and as soon as I left and my experience vanished off their record, I was approached for the price my new company was giving me. Screw that noise.

Im really talking about issues related to very long running jvms.

In fact it looks like they use their own jvm build now, I'll give that a go at the same time..... however it looks they they are still really on 8 as well.
> Yes, that's what is being said here. The space inside you and me and our atoms don't expand, but the empty spaces between galaxies do.
It is very weird, and non-intuitive.

It is good to debunk bad science.

Just be careful not to repeat the same mistakes in reverse, throwing out something that is clearly helpful because the original experiment cannot be trusted.

I'll post a very simple thought experiment to prove it for one of the cases:

> No good evidence that tailoring teaching to students’ preferred learning styles has any effect on objective measures of attainment. There are dozens of these inventories, and really you’d have to look at each. (I won’t.)

Now, do as in math and consider what happens when we approach zero:

- what happens if a student cannot hear?

- what happens if a student cannot see?

or infinity:

- can you think of a learning style that works better or worse for people who are strongly affected by ADHD?

- same but for social anxiety?

So, just by thinking about it for a few moments we can debunk the debunking: Clearly there exists whole subsets of the population (blind, deaf) where one or more learning styles are impossible, meaning that the rest of the learning styles must be better for those.

What can we learn from this?

Maybe to be sceptical, even towards the sceptics?
If someone's kids got fat or got fatter I would suggest it was because the parents passed on bad habits and poor self discipline and need to consider a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their kids.

What we shouldn't do is allow people to go out and infect each other because little johnny sits in one spot playing Nintendo and eating too many chips.

America and a lot of the effected kids had a problem before covid and we need to both protect each other from covid and lose a few pounds myself included.

There was a lot of discussion on striking the right balance as far as public health decisions. Locally for example you could have talked to your cities leadership, your states leadership, you could have got together and lobbied your states senators/Congress or the federal leadership. Many did in fact you just don't like how it shook out.

If you think a different strategy would have worked better elect different folks.
I am ready to believe that you, personally, introduce numerous bugs in code you write, and then blame them on averyone else and on everything but your own bad habits.

But that experience does not generalize. Am I spectacularly lucky in my generally competent colleagues? I doubt it.

I think it's because Britain in particular is desperate to get outside support for the programme whereas the Swedes and Japanese want to get access to technology but design their own aircraft.

So the only way to get them onboard is to make the association loose. I can't tell if this is good or bad - it might mean that the Swedes will make something affordable out of it and the rest will blow billions on various Golden Geese (is that the right term?).

There's some interesting Japanese technology - e.g. their AESA missile radars would go into the Meteor to bring it far out ahead of anything else. Also I think they have some ceramics in their fighter engines etc which are of high interest.
> Much fewer people on the same amount of roads and sewer systems means spending way more per capita to maintain and build them. Way more than the tax base can provide, even.

This is simply false. Maintaining roads takes typically less than 10% of the budget of the municipality. Additionally, road construction and maintenance is significantly more time consuming and expensive in dense urban areas.

> On top of that, neighborhoods that are spread out require more people to drive cars, which not only increases the maintenance burden, but also requires loads of parking lots at grocery stores. And none of that grocery store parking lot is going to generate the tax income required to pay for the infrastructure needed to travel there.

Huh? The grocery store’s parking is part of grocery store, which generates tax income.
As an aside I wanted to say I love the theme used by this blog.
I write my books in markdown and convert to pdf/epub/web using pandoc and mdbook. I find markdown easier to work with and I don't know much about web development.

retraining isn't difficult but retraining is expensive.

Southwest, Ryanair and their competition are literally nickel and diming everything to offer ever cheaper seats to fliers. Until that changes, airlines will balk at new aircraft.

It's why 737Max was developed instead of NMA; Airbus came out with the 320 and 330neo series, which did not require retraining.
I like it. For me it makes it dead easy to glance through a file and instantly understand what's the boundary between the view layer and everything else. At the end of the day you're creating HTML, so JSX is like a WYSIWYG from that perspective.
Saying "hey guys, tough luck, you're on your own, we refuse to change anything to reduce our wildly high per capita emissions" is sticking them with the problem. The claim of this article is that this white paint can reduce roof temperatures by 4.5 degrees centigrade, which is plausibly enough to substantially reduce demand for air conditioning, which is a major contributor to global warming. If the _only_ problem with this plan is that some people don't like the aesthetics -- I'm not saying that is the case, but granting it in this discussion -- it sounds like a frivolous objection.
When you fire your data center and outsource to cloud providers and don't have any data center types left and Microsoft shits the bed, it is your fault and you paid a bundle to get there. Cloud providers tell you they don't do everything for you and it is your job to get it right.
Computer security cannot be solved with any technology unless you want to fix everybody in the world to be "good players". This will always be a hopefully balanced game between people trying to protect a system and people trying to get access to it/information.

As long as there will be people that want to hack a system, that system will never be secured 100%.

Here is one example: There is such a thing as hacking air gapped systems. So there is no amount of containers that you can add to protect you from bad actors.
Private channels yes, DMs are not readable by privileged via standard UI, there probably is some way to read them though.

Why the snark? I see value in no-code/low-code platforms for many people—integrating with "traditional" code to fill in the lack of domain-specific features and building a strong FOSS alternative early on is critical. I just started reading and found these two projects that seem to be trying to accomplish just that [1][2] though they seem very early. I'd love to see what other project HN might know, since I personally don't know better.

I am just saying that the economic incentives are not aligned so that a decision other than the 737MAX would've been the prudent, competitive move.

Miniaturization and Integration of 3D Printed Microfluidics
I believe that functional programming is not as popular as some think it should be, because the more popular languages stole a lot of its mojo. Other languages absorbed and used many functional programming concepts.

It became like, "No need to go over there, you can do most of it here, in a language you already know."

As for OOP, I think many people have found ways to circumvent or minimize how much they use it, so are not going over the edge with inheritance and another kind of spaghetti. If they can use a struct, record (Delphi/Free Pascal also have advanced records), prototype (JavaScript, Lua...), OOP without classes (Go, Vlang...), or classes with only data then they do. There is more awareness to try and avoid the traps and excesses of class-based OOP.

Realpolitik is all there is. I often see comments about how people should behave rather than understanding how they actually do. Fundamental human nature is nigh immutable; people will always be greedy, will always want to compete, will always wage war, and so on. To think that another social system would change that is a flaw of understanding humans. I see this most often in people espousing communism over capitalism, for example, but people will be people even under communism, the social system won't change that.

Sinularly, many people are mad about countries doing "unethical" things, but countries do not have ethical norms, they merely have interests, and that's what they'll advance towards. To think that countries for example shouldn't spy on each other or assassinate their enemy leaders is also a misunderstanding of human nature, and more largely of geopolitics.
