I was hoping this would've been a more surprising list, but it was titled 'common'.

> Don't migrate an application from the datacenter to the cloud

Good advice that follows the pattern of don't do a rewrite with a plan to cut-over. Instead make two and gradually transition to the newer one.

> Don't write your own secrets system

Follow-on to 'don't do your own crypto'

> Don't run your own Kubernetes cluster
> Are you a Fortune 100 company? If no, then don't do it.

> Don't Design for Multiple Cloud Providers

This seems like an extension of YAGNI. If you're not using it, don't build it. If you really will need it, use it as you're building it. A good example is if you're doing multi-datacentre redundancy using standard tech, it might be worthwhile to do multi-cloud. But have an actual threat model in mind that this mitigates, e.g. cloud provider 'A' may become a conflict-of-interest competitor in the foreseeable future.

> Don't let alerts grow unbounded

> Don't write internal cli tools in python
> Nobody knows how to correctly install and package Python apps. If you write an internal tool in Python, it either needs to be totally portable or just write it in Go or Rust. Save yourself a lot of heartache as people struggle to install the right thing.

+1 This one rarely gets mentioned.

One that I would add, that I haven't experienced but can certainly foresee is "don't switch major datastores". Switching between MySQL and PostgreSQL might be rough but doable. Switching between MySQL and CockroachDB for a large, heavily-used app could stall developing new features for a long time or make everything take 5x longer. The reason isn't the query syntax, it's the query characteristics. Using a std rdbms gives you the ability to do many relatively quick round-trip queries (though you should avoid N+1's) some can be tolerated. A distributed DB can have high throughput but will have high latency for simple queries.
You suggesting me pointing out antisemitism online being inflammatory is actually deeply antisemtic and a white supremacist dog whistle.
I don't have 2FA enabled on my eBay account. I use a unique, complicated password though, and I don't see any suspicious activity on my account, though, apparently eBay saw something wrong. Unfortunately they won't tell me what's wrong, so I can't figure it out or help.

AFAIK eBay doesn't support WebAuthn. I got a set of 3 Yubikeys some months ago (1 for my laptop, 1 for my workstation, 1 for backup in my fire safe) and I wanted to protect my eBay account using them, but eBay only offers me options to add SMS or eBay's mobile app as 2nd factors.
> Alternatively get your circle of friends to upload videos to your own site and manage the comments/spam as you see fit

I’m confused by your suggestion. I have no interest in watching videos that my friends are uploading (because my friends aren’t uploading). How would having a site where my friends post videos help this situation?
>From where I’m sitting, it feels like the laptop class liking WFH is one of the brakes for a return to normality.

I agree, and I wish people were more honest about that aspect. I quit my old job over a mandatory return to the office policy and took a full-time remote position instead. If you’re posting on HN chances are you have a highly in-demand skillset and can get remote work if you want it; hiding behind COVID just drags out this diet dystopia longer than its natural lifespan. I realise people have different tastes but the taste of “covid culture” has got rather stale for many people.
Rclone is great! All of my duplicati backups go to S3, then in the run-script-after script rclone copies them from S3 to B2.

No, I just listened (or had to listen on trips to grocery store) to her commiserations since I was the only one she could vent to.

Slinging ads for Meta and Alphabet affords you the ability to go on vacation. My mom was not getting anything for cooking and cleaning and taking care of my non driving, non English speaking, non working grandparents. On top of my mom having to work and help my dad try and operate a small business. In fact, she regrets not being able to spend more time and resources after her kids because so much of her time and energy was spent after two 80+ year old babies (one grandparent died at 99, after 7 years on dialysis. Why the hell are we giving 90+ year olds dialysis? The other grandparent died at 95, but was 15 years younger).

And I saw what my aunts lives who had old and disabled in laws to take care of was like versus aunts who had young and helpful in laws. I have seen tribes that tilt too far in providing resources to the elderly and infirm, to the detriment of the young. I do not see any point in that.

The Epic Game Store (at least, the program, I dunno about the web interface) doesn't even have _a shopping cart_, you have to buy things individually. No amount of years of Steam ecosystem buy-in are making me say this out of favoritism or familiarity.
Easy way of knowing if a number is associated with RoboKiller is to determine if they are using this LLC as their carrier: "NATIVE AMERICAN TELECOM - PINE RIDGE LLC"

huh - oddly enough I have the opposite (over 50, near sighted, blood sugar issues)...

but I find 'warm' colors with medium contrast on black to be easiest to work with (yellow, amber, green, etc.).

I tend to work a lot at night/fairly dim rooms though, not sure if that makes a difference.
The tiktok community has adopted a similar strategy for voting on comments. Someone will post a spicy comment, which gets a certain number of likes, then someone will reply with the comment "L" (as in "take the L, you lose"), which competes for likes.
This is the most inspiring and well done open source project I've used. An example for other open source areas to follow, such as operative systems, virtualization software, 2d graphic manipulation software, etc.

Giant black hole inside a tiny satellite galaxy of ours defies explanation
We probably have the technology to have races using self driving cars without drivers (perhaps with more accidents). It may be interesting to watch, but it would be a different sport
It wouldn’t help. Not enough people would use it to be helpful. The chances of someone with the extension installed having watched and voted on the obscure tutorial you’re about to watch is near zero.
Is there any evidence of this in the data above (or elsewhere)? Labor productivity is a low degree-of-freedom datapoint and your explanation is indirect and has a lot of degrees of freedom.
Your thinking goes against the entire history of the US. The goal of having immigrants is that they will come to work and improve their and everyone else's lives, not that they will come rich to support the country.
Its both actually
The ocean in particular has it out for humans. Record drownings in New England this past summer. I dug into it some and realized that I was shockingly ignorant of safe behavior around water in general.
That EU thing is work in progress. Germany can probably sink that easily.
Firstly, the entire point of YouTube for me is the long tail. I don't watch any of those channels you listed, and the only two I've heard of are Linus and Adam Neely.

But the more important point is that even if all the many dozens of mostly small channels I subscribe to were on some other paid video service, I wouldn't want to track down and check in on all those services. Even just 3 would be a vastly worse experience than YouTube, especially since there would almost certainly be huge variation in the features and quality of their various web, mobile, and TV apps.
I cheated and used REnigma to make a recording of chrome.exe running the alert in a VM. Then I found an execution point where the alert was on screen, made a memory dump, and ran the strings analysis the chrome.exe parent process (which acts as a sandbox for the rendering processes and handles all system interactions). That gave me the all of the virtual addresses where that string existed (there were several copies). I then hooked up GDB to remotely debug the replay at that execution point and dumped the strings near that address to extract the complete file.

This is such a valuable recommendation. I've been doing the same since 20+ years back. On and off I've been bad at it, but I always end up coming back and continuing.

I think of it as more of a daily diary though, I mix random notes of things I've done, thought of doing, or interesting links and/or command-lines I've found useful so I don't have to reinvent them as often in the future.

It has proven to be immensely useful for myself. Can highly recommend!

My way is mainly org-mode files through Emacs over the years. Now having switched primarily to VScode I use a simplified org-mode version to get similar feeling, and it works pretty well. Everything is mostly text anyways!
Israel even sinked a US navy ship and got away with it.

It gives you an idea how powerful their lobby is.

NSO should be declared a terrorist organization.
Nobody wants to mention "don't roll your own security"? That's a 101 kind of question - very easy to feel clever when you try it as an amateur, nightmarish when (really not if, when) you get it wrong.

That is one area where I think you want to outsource that to specialists.
Um, one is pretty safe outdoors so far. I'm living a pretty good life modulo I miss watching movies on the big screen, mostly addressed by procuring a cheap 70" flatscreen. What's not so safe is congregating in poorly ventilated spaces. Why are you so hellbent on suggesting life is incomplete without doing so?
This feels like a positive, to me. After watching so much quarterly profit chasing races to the bottom across so many aspects of the economy.
groups of people who know just a little about a subject tend to cease questioning their reasoning, and a dunning kruger is born. groups of people with more knowledge tend to ask more questions before accepting a new position. therefore, a dunning kruger is born more frequently among the former group. however, migrating pesky dunning krugers then tend to persist in either group.
I wouldn't depend on long term data retention of flash memory. You should have a passphrase encrypted printout of the contents as well.
thats a neat site..
I tend to prefer the yellow-on-dark rather then the dark-on-yellow though.

I guess it basically boils down to working in a dark(ish) area, my eyes are too dilated to like a bright background?
Imagine you're trying to listen to classical music at a steel mill, but because the piece is mixed "correctly", you can't actually hear it. You turn up the volume to max but it's still too quiet to hear through the industrial noise and your ear protectors.

Now, is it the mixer's fault you're trying to listen to the music at a steel mill?

A lot of people answered "yes" and that's how we ended up with the "loudness wars" lowering the quality of all music to shit. A mistake that's ruined entire generations of music, only available at crap, compressed radio quality.
That is not correct as typical remaining genetic problems are not successfully bred out since they are recessive.

The mutt will almost always be healthier than it's parents as it is highly unlikely to have any recessive ailments of either line.
Yes, and if McDonalds saw tens of thousands of people complaining that the Big Mac got cancelled, they might decide to uncancel it.
They need to reach 100% to eliminate the control group before everyone starts getting sick from them
> ...marriage is family formation.

Or just look at it the other (and IMO more correct) way around: It's actually family formation that is "marriage".

This truth used to be recognised by governments too, as witnessed by the ancient legal term "common law marriage".

If it's time for anyone to "get out of that business", it's everyone but the state.
Having been in a many Assisted Living buildings, I would echo this sentiment. Some homes are run by incredibly caring and thoughtful staff and could be the right home for a loved one. It's not for everybody, but as healthcare needs rise, it's definitely an option to be considered.

PS: check us out at augusthealth.com and reach out if this is a space you want to work in.
I used to be quite fond of the amber CRTs, and still am from an aesthetic point of view. Also, for roughly my first decade of programming I used white text on blue background almost exclusively. So I get those who like dark mode. But eventually me and my eyes got older.
I don't think it's manufactured. I think there are two kinds of people:

* a smaller group of people who care about it (like me);

* and a majority of people who don't care either way about votes.

YouTube can satisfy both by keeping downvotes, but Google is notorious about not giving a fuck about users and only caring about results.

The small number of people who care about downvotes aren't going to stop watching because they're gone, so when viewed through the lens of Google's metrics these people simply don't exist at all.
Hacker News at least somewhat shows when a comment's net_votes is negative by fading the visibilty out. Which is kind of the exact opposite of YouTube's new system, showing only negative responses vs only positive responses.
I'd like to piggyback here and add a second requirement: I'm currently looking for a storage provider that supports pulling backups from the outside. Kinda surprised this is not more of a topic, as it should be a simple way to make backups more robust against compromise?

Seems rsync.net supports this (see sibling comment). Any others?
Yes. Kubernetes.
The idea that an OS should span a single computer is rooted 30+ years ago.
The point being that if people moved from depending on YT and instead had their own circles of friends, at least one or two being technical then comments would be under the control of those people and not YT. If your circle of friends don't like particular comments, they can remove them. If you want up/down votes on your videos, you can implement it. The control is back in your court and the rules are entirely up to you and your friends, within the laws of your nation of course. Your friends don't have to upload videos and you don't have to watch them. I am of course assuming that you and your friends share similar interests, but really this is about control. YT has full control of their systems and always will.
I'm with you. This feels a lot like when people grumble about some big company changing their logo. Mostly inconsequential but a vocal minority takes to the blogosphere to complain and it all dies down after a few months.

People rarely even use the like button, let alone the dislike. I'd wager the majority of casual users don't even know anything has changed.
Yes, in Terabytes of RAM, or some separate commercial offering with flash. Not sure I get your point.
I hope that dystopian reality never comes to pass, there’s enough social conflict in this world as it is without artificially inventing more categories of “reasons to hate our fellow human beings”.
So it sounds like the TL;DR is that Privacy.com is getting less private as the new terms allow you collect more user data.
However ... unfortunately, you can't just drop features from ES (or most software really) to make it lightweight.
> working in a fairly dark room

Ambient lighting levels certainly affect the equation.
> they have the majority within the coalition

A majority within the coalition does not translate to a majority in the Bundestag, which is what's needed to put any of these many promises and plans into actual action.
That would be cool, but vertical integration does have a bunch of obvious advantages, which is why you see open source options often struggle compared to proprietary equivalents, like here, or with Discord vs IRC.
1. There is no data export tool. The only way to pull data out is either to copy and paste from each and every table into Excel or Google Sheets and export from there to CSV or to roll your own custom export script using their poorly documented JS API.

2. Once you have more than 3,000 or so rows in a workbook, everything grinds to a crawl. It can literally take over a minute for any kind of data mutation in the administration user interface or in the app interface to be reflected in the display. This means that doing anything on the app becomes literally slower than if you were to do it with paper and pencil. And this is despite paying $20/month for the Plus tier, which purportedly allows 10,000 rows per workbook.

3. The project lacks polish and user-friendliness throughout.

4. It is buggy throughout, and developer updates have introduced new bugs multiple times. For example, recently the last record in a table started getting displayed in my app view even though it is excluded by the list filter in that view.

5. The bug reporting process is difficult to the point that I don't even bother anymore.

6. The first time you try to open an old workbook, it will error out. Presumably they are using serverless and the Lambda function is cold.
Why/how are the workers the key to unlocking the productivity growth? I imagined productivity growth came through mechanization/electrification/computerization, not from the workers themselves being more skilled.

IE if warehouse box-stackers productivity has tripled since 1950, it is because companies have invested in forklifts for the workers to use, not because the box-stackers are just way better at stacking boxes than their 1950s counterparts.
What 5-alpha reductase would you suggest for someone wanting to test this out?
Maybe I live under a rock, but I’ve never heard of odysee. I’m definitely checking them out. I love that their tag line is “welcome, we have dislikes.”
Great suggestion; I've never tried gum arabic in anything, but it looks like it's close profile-wise to the other thickeners, so I'll pick some up and give it a shot. I should have mentioned that I do cook the egg yolks over a double boiler (as if I'm making a hollandaise sauce), but the almond milk really thins out the mixture, plus I have to cut back the cream to half the amount (9g is too many carbs in a cup). Thanks for the tip!
Wow should this comment belong to HN?

To me it looks like your comment is very biased and misrepresenting. While you say:

> Then there's the time they slaughtered several dozen US navy and NSA personnel with repeated attacks on an unarmed vessel because they didn't like that we were watching them"

At the same time the wikipedia article that you linked says:

"Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity"

The sentiment of this part of your comment seems to be so openly and blatantly full of unsubstantiated hatred towards Israel, that my hope is it will be heavy downvoted.
I think it is more likely that 5) many high ranking government officials have sympathetic views with said forces and don’t mind the “occasional incident” as long as said forces are working towards their common goal (whatever that goal might be; but it is probably Islamophobia, settler colonialism and exploitative capitalism).
Aquabyte | Remote (SF, NYC) and Norway | Full Time | Data Science, MechE, Embedded, Procurement, Product https://jobs.lever.co/aquabyte/

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the ocean sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the ocean for generations to come.

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Naive question: If your entire DB schema is automatically reflected into a GraphQL schema, then how is this better than just having the client send SQL queries directly to the backend? Does GraphQL make it easier to do this securely?
I wonder if you didn't get the point or intentionally play stupid here because long COVID is a thing already. You don't have to wait 5 years for it. It's happening. It's documented. You can google it up. It's easy. Everybody can do it.

Just because YOU didn't have it, doesn't mean nobody else didn't.
> The reason they succeeded (and the reason I personally believe fly will succeed) is because they're building hard to implement underlying technology and focusing on DX.

I agree. This is how I think about successful software. Not entirely sure there is enough supporting data, or at least it's not easy to collect/access.
