You should really spend a little time learning ansible before you critique it. Ansible isn't perfect, but the things you describe aren't how ansible works in general, so they aren't even valid criticism.

For example, it has idempotent modules for all sorts of things - contents in files, files and directories in the file system, etc - things that you COULD script in an ad-hoc and verbose way, but things which come built-in as one-liners in ansible.

It's quite convenient.
If PoS comes, it'll be something to stop criticizing Ethereum over. It'll still be useful to criticize cryptocurrencies in general. See Bitcoin, Monero, etc.
The formal term for the Ada-ish constraints on acceptable values is dependent types.
$30 and god knows how much time & tooling to make the brass mount.

Sure, if you've already got all the tooling & skill required then by all means go ahead, but otherwise most of these projects aren't worth it when you value your time.
When I was at a startup, my job was take care of this one important service, but also be the person for all the server stuff that didn't have a person.

Which meant I administered DNS, and email, and Google gSuite (or whatever it was called at the time or now), built out internal tool web login/SSO and migrated it to different identity systems, managed our domains, managed our certificates, advised client teams on security issues, did OS upgrades on servers, managed access to the servers, managed paying several of the vendors and was their single point of contact, patch (server side) OpenSSL so that client system libraries don't crash when OpenSSL and Microsoft disagree on vague specifications, managed a new grad building a TLS 1.3 library for our Android client, pretended to be a data scientist to analyze my service's data because we didn't have any of those (and when we did, most of them were worse at pretending than I was) etc.

Someone from our client teams built server stuff occasionally when it was more convenient for one person to do the front and backend or server people didn't have time.

The only people not wearing many hats in startup land are either only good at one thing or are very busy on one thing.
You don't even need that. Up to circa -20C you can use a regular AC with an inverter and it would still work, albeit at reduced efficiency.
There's various factions amongst environmentalists, personally I'm very pro nuclear energy , carbon capture and self driving tech (to use outside Cities ideally) . But in some cases low tech solutions are actually better, for example walkable / bike able cities with good transit are amazing for quality of life and the environment.
Thats just not true of NYC, Boston, DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and basically every other east coast city

> Optional static typing or a "loose syntax mode".

This sounds like what TypeScript offers with the `any` type: you can use it to shut down the type system at a given point and then gradually replace loose types with stricter types (hence the phrase "gradually typed")
This partly falls under "3 hours to pass through legally", but I would add to this the significant number of major intersections where the marked lanes are completely ignored at all times. For example one intersection I'm familiar with has a single lane out of 4 leading to the highway on ramp. However, probably at least 60% of cars passing through the intersection want to get on the highway, so in practice both of the lanes adjacent to the designated lane are also used to access the on-ramp, resulting in an uncontrolled 3-way merge during a sharp left turn in the middle of an intersection.

Edit: For anyone curious, my particular example is getting on 278 South coming from the southeast on Prospect Ave.

You're right, but I think the part that's ostensibly analogous is the slow, progressive decline. Which is something that happens with many chronic illnesses, but the notion of slowly losing your mental capacities is one of the worst kinds of decline.

The music's coherence and form very gradually breaks down in an unsettling way as an abstract metaphor for the neurological dilapidation. It's of course nothing at all like the experience itself, but it's just an attempt to artistically portray it very abstractly and indirectly.

(Side note: I was actually never a fan of this album or its concept after seeing it saturate music forums over the past several years, and all its associated "this album broke me" memes made me consider it pretentious and melodramatic, but the process of writing this post somehow changed my opinion.

I think maybe because I suddenly found myself in the frame of feeling compelled to defend it from what I felt was an overly unfair and dismissive critique and became aware of my own cognitive dissonance. I suppose that's one way HN's stereotypical pessimism and negativity also has some benefit. I could see myself in the mirror of your post and I didn't like what I saw.)
It seems like for the past few decades businesses have decided to be pickier and pickier about candidates. People sometimes struggle to get HR to not reject people unnecessarily. It's engrained to create barriers like requiring a university degree, or multiple years of experience, for jobs that don't need it.
I've used varnish in the past with cdn's, never had an issue so I have not tried other cashing/load balancing products.

Internally use squid with rules for non routed internal network addresses.

Sounds like lots of newer products out there, maybe even better products, but you sometimes just stay with whats working due to time/budgets.

Would really be interested in articles with benchmarks, pros/cons, etc on different products. Wonder why not many websites doing this for content? Sounds like a good market that needs filled.
I've had my colonoscopy - I speak from experience when I say the PSA test is a heckuva lot less invasive! With that said, the colonoscopy wasn't bad at all - not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. They found a polyp, extracted it and did a biopsy, and found it to be benign. Now I have to have a colonoscopy every 5 years instead of every 10. Yay!!! :)
The practice of law, in the U.S. at least, contemplates something called an initial consultation. In that situation, you are a "prospective client" under ABA Model Rule of Professional Responsibility 1.18. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibili...

This generally means the information you provide is confidential and that attorney cannot represent the opposing party against you in that same matter.

Many initial consultations are free or cheap. Think of it as a brief evaluation period to see if an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who practices employment law thinks the case is worthwhile (and whether you feel comfortable with that attorney).

You'll get a better idea of your situation from an initial consultation than you will from random Internet dudes like me spouting off at the mouth on HN.
I have no affiliation or interest whatsoever with my recommendations.
I have large hands, so my palms don't rest on the trackpad when typing, they brush it. So the palm rejection doesn't work very well for me. I have tap to click disabled as well.

My sympathies. I lost my dad to cancer 4 years ago, and my mom last week.

Your doctor rolled. I tell my clients all the time that doctors can’t fight insurance companies for every patient every time. They pick and choose, whether it’s the orthopedic in a work comp carpal tunnel case, or an oncologist wanting to try some new immunotherapy.

You should take this as a signal that your not your doctor’s priority.

My advice would be to go get a second opinion and see if another oncologist feels strongly that the scan is warranted.
It didn't for me when I submitted it, now it does. I guess all the extra traffic caused them to fix it.
Furthermore this means that US police departments and intelligence agencies will be banned from purchasing and deploying NSO spying tools to attack their own citizens.
I've read these articles back and forth and I honestly cannot grasp more than 30% of the ideas. The loser eludes me, the middle layer same..

I'd love to poke in people's head to be sure what are the motives behind their behavior (the main one I assume being a balance of respect/equality and money).
Jews as moneylenders is a stereotype that originates from history due to both religious and political motivations such as those previously mentioned. I can understand being uneasy with that in a modern context. I have also criticized people on HN before for equating all Jews with Israel or vice versa, but I don't see that happening here. The analogy works if the modern equivalent is any other country because the primary link is the outsourcing of a controversial job and not Jewishness.
The trackpad is probably the number 1 reason to get an apple laptop.

The click is virtual, but feels completely real - the feel cannot be compared to the virtual iphone 8 button, which felt very fake.

The click can also be accentuated from anywhere on the trackpad with the same force, something you cannot do on trackpads with physical buttons.

When dragging you can use one finger to click and hold down the mousekey while using a different finger to move the cursor - this makes it possible to drag and drop much further than the size of the already ample trackpad.

On top of this comes scrolling, which is in a class of it's own, and only matched by iphones and ipads.

I say, make it bigger and have it accept input from apple pencil!
Are you asking how link aggregation sites work? Or are you just noting that you're surprised at the overlap between the HN community and the Rust community?
> European cities were established long before cars were a thing

The small, touristy, beautiful medieval cores of many famous European cities are like this.

The vast oceans of newer construction surrounding this core were made in just as much of a car-centric way as in the U.S.

Here is the touristy area of Prague:

SMB filesharing over VPN has always been painfully slow at our organization. I'm assuming this would help, but transitioning our file servers to Datacenter Azure Edition is a no-go.

What other alternatives are there to speeding up SMB over WAN, besides investing in expensive proprietary WAN Acceleration devices from the likes of Exinda/Silverpeak/Riverbed/etc?
With you on package management issues. The thing is modern devs just use a package for the simplest things just to feature load the code. Often you don't need all the functionality of the dependency. You'll probably use 0.1% of it. But javascript and rust repos dependency tree is extremely deep on average.

This in fact _hurts_ maintainability as you need to manage this heavy, recursive dependency tree. Ultimately it's not hackable. You can't just change that function to print a warning, rather you have to edit an entire library and work through it's taxonomy.

I'd note that Python is much better than others you list at this. Idiomatic python tends to be "batteries included" and shouldn't use too many dependencies other than those that are crucial to the project (ex Numpy). It's probably also because Python's package management story isn't as polished as others.
But why bring up a tangential point that's not an issue in the real world? The whole discussion about health care in the US is littered with distracting issues.

In the end the real problem is tying health insurance to employment and the lack of transparency which allows a lot of parties to charge outrageous prices and get away with it.
Agile is exactly the corporate management hellscape that, circa 2000, the Agile Manifesto authors explicitly sought to subvert. Things from Office Space (1999) have come exactly full circle.

You seem to have missed the point of not just the article, but the OP.

If you read the article, it advocates asynchronous conversation, and 'micro' updates.

In other words rather than forcing people to update at a specific time, that whilst convenient for you, is not convenient for all we should consider allowing people to do what they need to do and empower them to respond appropriately.

This is why OP mentioned that _your_ daily ritual is hurting them, because you are _forcing_ them to adhere to what works for you at _their_ expense.

It also goes both ways, but we cannot ask one to always considers us, and allow their needs to go unattended because it doesn't fit our narrative.
Aren't there quite strict regulations about what you can use electricity for, in almost every country in the world? Especially at industrial scale.

I'm sure this is going to get hate but not all of ICE is bad. They're also the guys who go after the super rich crimes. The immigration stuff had such a bad effect on the agency that the money crime people literally asked to be separated so they could get back to hunting money crimes without the stigma of the immigration stuff. [0]

Also, immigration control in itself isn't a bad thing. You shouldn't be asking that people stop providing services to a goverment agency. You should demand the goverment agency stops being a bunch of dicks.

I think you're giving them too much credit for having a strategy to suppress wages and get media attention. It's just run of the mill complaining and political ranting. If you happen to own a public-facing business, congrats, you now have a soapbox. There is no minimum qualification to be a "business owner". They're just normal people living their lives, and like any of us, span the range from entitled trustees to self-bootstrapped; from centrist people-pleaser to political nutter.
It is not uncommon to see someone cut across the road and scream at people in cars or throw things.

Depending on the driver lots of different stuff happens. Some will drive around them, others get out and confront them etc.

I suspect an automated vehicle will just come to a stop an wait.
Sort of. The issue is that it's not just "waiting for a turn", it's often "start changing lanes into a small gap because you know the human drivers will make space and let you in". In which case, what you're saying is "drive more aggressively if there's a large time penalty for not doing so", which is at least a mildly uncomfortable criteria to put into a computer algorithm
> Has anyone else noticed this?

That has been popular criticism going back at least to the 70s. Sometimes it is even true.

Much more often, "anti-progress" is pretty meaningless code for "attacks things I like".

I mean, make no mistake, there are all sorts of bad ideas in environmental circles, including some outright fascists. But nut-picking weirdos to brand anyone involved in environmental policy circles is just nasty propaganda, no different than calling all capitalists slavers.
This problem might get solved for self-driving vehicles by simply banishing non-autonomous vehicles (including bicycles and pedestrians) from the roads.
Programming languages won’t stop triangulation.
The assumption of privacy is not rooted in any fact. In Japan people can disappear if they want to because of the culture. Privacy is a culture. You can’t use tech as the panacea, because the US is not inherently culturally private. Privacy occurs because others aren’t tracking you, if you’re being traced by computers, motivated people with advanced tools, living in a world where you’re supposed to share and a paparazzi celebrity culture, you’re not going to get privacy no matter how “safe” you program your memory to be.
Google's Authenticator app's data is not restored. I have no way of logging into half a dozen apps that require 2FA now. Good going, Google. I'll never use your shitty 2FA again.

Don't just blame Google. The same thing happened to me with an iPhone using Duo. Now I'm locked out of Facebook because Duo wants me to re-link my Facebook account, and I can't log in to Facebook to do the link because I can't use Duo.

To make things worse, Facebook's customer service has lived up to its reputation. Meaning my requests for access, including sending in copy of my government ID, have gone ignored.

I appreciate that 2FA is better, but this is the reason I don't use 2FA anymore.
I used to have a Surface and the one thing I would use the touchscreen for while sitting at a desk was to scroll with a thumb on the lower corner of the screen (with my arm resting on the desk).

It's nice to be able to change position and have your arm extended along the side of the computer sometimes instead of bunched up next to you to scroll on the trackpad.

Beyond that, yeah if I'm at a desk with a keyboard and trackpad, I'd rather use the trackpad than hold my arms up in the air on the touchscreen.
I have been complaining about the larger trackpad since MacBook Pro 2016. False positive input may not be much, something like 10 times over a year of usage, but it is still infinitely more than MacBook Pro 2015 when it had zero problems.

My guess of the problem isn't with the width of the Trackpad, but with how close the trackpad and the keyboard are [1] ( image from another comment on HN ), where pressing space bar could have accidentally move the cursor.

Keyboard and Trackpad on MacBook Pro 2012-15 is still the best. Even when compared to the new M1 MacBook Pro. ( I play around with the keyboard for half an hour, still dont like the lack of Key Travel )

To be honest, I'd happily let my car mess up the flow of traffic trying to block the box. The only reason this exists is because everyone decides to enter the box to make the light.

When working in SF without self driving I would regularly not let myself block the box and I'd miss multiple lights. Police need to actually ticket people that do this. I've seen cops sitting at the intersection waiting to ticket people for bypassing traffic by using the carpool freeway entrance while doing fuckall about the blocked intersection causing people to want to choose the HOV option.

I understand that it's a part of driving that a self driving car would need to know how to navigate. But we really should just fix this problem through proper traffic enforcement instead of trying to make self driving cars participate in this completely shitty and unnecessary practice.
Then you'll just have a car stopped in a lane until someone takes pity on it. That isn't an acceptable solution either.

The solution is to figure out what the traffic rule is based on what the other traffic is doing. But that introduces other pitfalls if you don't do it right.

This reminded me of a spiral/helix of fifths music theory poster I had twenty years ago. I can't find it now, but in my research, this came up:

Music Through Computation, Carl McTague, 2003 International Mathematica Symposium https://www.mctague.org/carl/music/computer/talks/music-talk...

And it does indeed have a nice picture for "Helix of Fifths" that is a dry black and white sketch of what was on that poster.
Nice! I built something similar with io-ts at my previous job, unfortunately I wasn’t able to open source it. I have plans to build a new version from scratch without depending on a separate schema library, instead defining the type guards with JSON Schema to make doc gen a primary part of the API.

Anyway, glad to see other work in the space!

Archiving data is a process, not a one-time effort.

You can't just store data on a medium and hope if that medium will last.

You have to periodically check for defects and from time to time, transfer data to fresh media.

At some point, you may even need to convert the data to keep it readable...
I picked up a used drill press for $45 or $50 (I don’t remember now), and a tap and die set from Amazon for about $20. 10/10 would recommend if you have the space.
It's just extremely low friction. Push some YAML in an existing repo, done. I've enjoyed using TeamCity in the past, and tolerated Hudson/Jenkins, and I do keep expecting to hit something that makes me want to go back, but it hasn't happened yet.
That's actually (generally) the opposite of what happens. Usually someone will editorialize the title and the admins will change it to the contents of the title tag. If you see a good synopsis it's probably because the author of the piece took the time to write a hook-ful title.

I use PhotoSync on all my devices and all my family members' devices. I've bought it about 10 times and I'm pretty happy with how it works. There are 2 big features:

1. It syncs to my Nextcloud server which I control. No one can take it away from me.

2. It's not subscription based, so buying it for my parents, siblings, etc. is practical since I'm not saddling them with a subscription they don't want or need.

I think a PhotoSync competitor that's more opinionated (ex: Nextcloud only) with a simpler UI could do well. This Photo Vault app isn't it, at least not for me. I'm not going to pay forever (via subscription) to get less control of my data. No thanks.

I've spent hundreds of dollars buying apps for family members, but I won't spend a penny on anything subscription based. For example, I used to buy Enpass for everyone I know. Then they switched to a subscription model and have gotten $0 from me since.
Agree, it's perplexing that Waymo thinks it makes more sense to start mapping out NYC rather than making the product work in Phoenix or SF.

You could interpret this as confidence, i.e. they're so close to a working service in Phoenix/SF that they want to lay the groundwork for NYC right away.

Or you could interpret is as a lack of confidence, i.e. they don't have much progress to report, and they're positioning that as "the reason we don't have a working product yet is that we're trying to solve the whole problem at once, and that's really hard."
