Hi, I maintain the open source project OpenFaaS.

If you've not seen Ivan's content before and are interested in cloud and containers, I'd highly recommend having a read of his articles. Several have been on the front page of Hacker News and rightly so - he's got an accessible writing style and includes plenty of diagrams.

One way I use the project is for extending a SaaS like Gumroad - to add new tiers of discount or to alert myself via Slack. It could be useful for one of your side-hustles or for some integration that just gets out the way. Ivan covers how you can write functions with regular binaries or bash, or one of the templates from the open-source community.
How we host a React component library on GitHub Packages
I have no idea. The point would be to make them spend more time and money than they’d have to if they simply had better support escalation.
Honestly, I'm really worried about the bloat most of the software is getting.. Plus the terrible state the products are coming. I'm not just talking just ordinary every day work software but also games.

In general the software stacks are getting bloated, overcomplicated and new updates/features are coming out really supper buggy.

They are also often fired for complaining internally about the thing they whistleblow about after being fired...
This is very helpful feedback, thanks! My mind goes to a few places when you talk about rich annotations on boards. Something like virtual sticky notes that are tied to specific areas on the design might be kind of fun. I hope to avoid just a list of screen grabs and paragraphs of text on the page.
Smart Technique for Setting Goals
The EU and US tried to include Ukraine in NATO. The US tried to install favorable people into positions of power after the maidan revolution. If anybody is surprised by a Russian response he either lacks information about the political situation or is an idiot or is lying.

The current reaction is certainly because that ambition is continued. That is the reason Russians fortify the border.
The shipping times mentioned on the website are a bit conservative and often it is faster.

We currently have kits in stock and ship within a few days of orders received.

Shipping times really vary depending on destination and are hard to predict but 2-3 weeks is a good estimation.
PyTorch Lightning for Dummies – A Tutorial and Overview
The commercial tools are changing out of necessity. If they stop changing they die. I won't go deeper into this.

The open source power tools are rock solid for years and years. I have a setup 100% cli based that hasn't changed much in 10 years: mutt, offline-imap, notmuch-main, vim with plugins for what you need (wiki, calendar, todo, etc), git, python, etc. Everything in i3 in Linux.

I think I spent hundreds of hours refining this setup. I am sure somebody will give me the comic strip from xkcd for this BUT: I am happy with my setup, I love tinkering with it and optimizing it. And my results at work reflect this, I never have to search for a file, an email, etc during a presentation or anything like that.

While other people have their Windows desktop covered with folders and then some and sweat a lot fumbling on their work flows. Meaning they have failed by their standards. It's the result that matters, remember that. If you're not happy with the outcome you must be doing something wrong.
> Amazon is at a point in its trajectory where it is still genuinely innovating in order to build dominance,

There is really nothing innovative about Amazon, really nothing. It's a web hosting company, and a huge internet shop. That's all to it.
Their business model should just shift to a 100% chumboxes model of clickbait. It would be more honest.
> I am a paid Youtube Music subscriber and I can't login to even listen to my own music anymore. Amazing.

It says right in the TOS that the music is licensed, not sold. It was never your music.

Pirate your music and film library instead. Giving these services money is a vote for their way of doing business.

I think you're taking the 5 whys to literally. The plan is not to ask why five times and replace the issue text with the fifth answer, but to take a moment to inspect what actually caused the issue instead of directly trying to fix the symptoms.

Sure, there's a chance that there is no root cause (although, at least in my experience, there usually is a major contributor) or that it's something that's not easy to fix right now, but at least is shows you what issues are brewing below and what you need to put on your roadmap. And, in the best case, you might actually be able to fix a bug higher up the chain directly and resolve future issues.
I am a pretty old German and heard it for the first time. But it made me smile.
Still you need requirements for what to build today. Often that is brushed aside as "details" in 2-week sprints, just start coding!
Good analogy. It feels as if AI is in its child-like stage, trying to make sense of the world on its own, mixing together concepts it has just discovered but not fully understood in an amusing way.
As Presumed by who exactly? You?

Anyone thinking that you can burry « whistleblower » with « whistle » (and it’s actually called cyberwhistle) has not checked how SEO works since 1998.

I mean, you could have just tried a google search before making accusations.
Remember that Amazon didn't start with more money than God though. They got here by consistently making hard, long term bets.
I have very strong feelings that a universally pronounceable product name is ESSENTIAL to wide adoption. PostgreSQL never rolls off the tongue, and it's not fun to say.
Depends on the blue light filtering glasses you use. I have a -0.75 prescription D and my historical average screen-time over the last 10 years is around 8-10 hours per day (including weekends).

I've been prescribed regular glasses for my myopia with blue light filter and the doctor insisted I use them while I am in front of the screen. These don't work. I started off as a biomedical engineer, so I know that myopia correcting glasses actually make your eye muscles work more i.e. not-relaxed. If anything I argue that you need to use a lower prescription or an opposite prescription to keep your eyes relaxed (not medical advice).

I was struggling with headaches and tiredness due to my excessive screen use even with my prescription glasses. Then I found Gunnar Intercept glasses with 65 Amber tint. Completely different experience. If I get up from the screen, it's not because of tiredness. As a matter of fact, I have been institutionalized - I cannot work in front of the screen without these glasses.

It takes an entire day to get used to the amber tint, but once you get over it, you can't go back. My opinion but I would recommend trying them out if you can afford a $50 experiment.
please stop, this is getting depressing real quick :(
I think your closing statement is very apt. Your points about tests et al works when there is a larger team so instead of accusing individuals for errors you’re blaming the process. But I can see that process blaming feeling a little more personal when there’s only one person writing the processes.
Slavery was very efficient. Slaves were fed and sheltered at low cost and produced outsize yields and profits. It was a heinous, evil, but efficient system. The Civil War was fought precisely because slavery was so profitable.
The problem is branding. They should've changed their name or they get all they deserve.
Yes, I have tried that with hookworms.
I think landowner should get some compensation for a find, but I think it would be maddening if the landowner was entitled to anything found on their land. It is not like the Ax belonged to the landowner or was created by the landowner.
> Here’s what we don’t know about whale barnacles... how do their larvae, no bigger than a grain of salt, find a migratory whale to grab onto in the first place? Once they locate one, how do they navigate around its gargantuan body—hundreds of thousands of times larger than theirs—to find their permanent homestead?”

Whale lice don't have swimming larvae. Like kangaroos they have pouches to incubate the eggs and hold the larvae, until they are able to live alone. They can move to other whales when whales mate

EDIT: Nope, I'm mistaking one type of parasite for another, my bad. Barnacles use most probably chemistry to find other whales.

Is interesting that they don't even mention the most interesting aspect of the whale barnacle life. Whale barnacles and whale lice are the fingerprints of the whales. You can identify one particular whale for years and years mapping the head patches made by its barnacles. Those islands of parasites are exclusive from each specimen in extension, number, shape and color. Is incredibly useful for studying them.
There will always be those who have and those who do not, the weak and the strong, the poor and the rich.

The question is, will those with power (money, connections, education) use it to gain more for themselves or to lift up the poor.

The idea that a homeless person’s problem is just, that they can’t afford rent or a mortgage is absurd, and would just prove that you’ve only ever dealt with homeless people at an abstract level.
If your argument was valid, it would be not re-iterable.

The fact that you can plug Walmart/Sears/IBM/etc into it means there was something others were able to outcompete them on with even though the incumbent had scale.

For example, right now, I source my items from Costco/Target/Best Buy/Home Depot/Lowes/Staples/Winco (grocery store), Trader Joe’s, and I make minimal use of Walmart and even less of Amazon.

McLuhan isn't really an author to grasp so much as he is an author to be grasped by. He's often difficult to understand but I think the point isn't so much to understand so much as, like you said, to expand your mind to new possibilities. His most powerful writing has an aphoristic, koan-like quality designed more to be provocative than to say anything specific. This can be mildly infuriating but at its best it's visionary stuff.

My grandma never moved on from Lotus 123. She made a lot of money with that application. Excel and most new stuff "was just too slow" for her. I didn't blame or shame her a bit. She was correct in that people were trying to foist negative productivity on her--and she always proved her point to me. She is far too stubborn to accept a loss in productivity.

Maybe it was such an honorable craft that people were more likely to name themselves after it compared to other trades?
I think you are correct in your observations, but I'd attribute the real cause to something other than "fun:" our low-trust society. Things can be fun when one doesn't have to worry about attacks from every angle, in the case of software. There are so many malicious actors out there that one is no longer allowed to "have fun" with hidden software functionality. It might increase the attack surface of your application.
Got me looking into it! Do you use OBS or a different RTMP streamer or just Owncast directly? I'm looking for more audience engagement in the form of polls, Q&A support as well as visual overlays such as bottom thirds, frames, etc.
Look at what areas they demonize as "big tech" and why. It isn't a matter of harm - cable carriers and ISPs get treated with kid gloves. It is media which they see as competing with them. The three Ses they don't know or care about.
LOL

But, you know, it sort of proves in an interesting point. Market/Technical/Cultural forces will push things one direction, but groups can choose to pay the higher costs to go in alternate directions.

It will be interesting to see where cultural sub-groups maintain either existing (but now niche) or otherwise alternative vestiges of the current-mainstream when the rest of the economy moves onto something else.

Are bookshops like this? A legacy of the pre-online/pre-megaseller era, but maintained by the bookish minority? Now potentially augmented by a coffee/tea shop and a greater focus on community events? Where else is this happening?
Unless you have a following, probably no one will see it on YouTube either. I generally post on YouTube but, if I were concerned about being blocked, I'd probably just host on a VPS.

> IP space used to handed out like candy on Halloween

This. I would always ask for a whole Class C when I needed one IP. A Class C was worthless in the 90s. Just like you could buy any dotcom domain you wanted. And mine however many Bitcoins you needed in 2010.
Not entirely dissimilar, depending on the org.

Now? It's been serious since computers were originally built for business. It became a little more lax in the 90's and the 00's with the rise of the web. This has also coincided with a sharp increase in code size and decline in quality. Maybe we need to be more serious.
Aqmd tested Awair and it came with really good results actually. I’m struggling to find the report online at the moment.
Honestly my main hope is that junior devs of ten years ago have had to put up with this long enough that they're senior enough now to stick up for the direct reports they perhaps have now.

Of course, it's far more common to develop the attitude that if it was "standard" when they were junior and they turned out alright then surely it's fine. And for 99% of them it will have turned out fine.

I've repeatedly heard from older engineers that you shouldn't worry too much about what the contract says because [you're going to get it perfect so it won't come up, the customer in question would never, it's just standard language so you can ignore it, if you try to push back you just won't get the work] and while I understand the desire to ignore the problem and instead do the fun engineering this just seems ridiculous to me.

What I takeaway from this is that engineers, like any reasonable human, aren't interested in legal documents and have been trained over decades by companies to not care how abusive their contracts are, because they personally haven't been bitten.

"Sure, you hear about it from time to time but it'd never happen to me," is an unfortunate attitude for the only people senior enough to do anything about it. I wish I saw a better way out but it's hard not to empathize with someone who has been doing engineering for 40 years and has had to sign scores of employment agreements and just wants to build some stuff before they retire.
It's a great idea and they do it, particularly in Iceland and Hawaii, iirc.

My recollection is that the big issue with geothermal is the minerals leaching out of the drilled rocks and fairly rapidly fouling the near/above-round equipment or depositing on the tubes/pipes closing them down. I understand that progress had been made; if anyone has more details handy, could you post links?

I'm not sure if it really will work for that. But judging from the comments from Tesla fans, it's an easy way to print about $49. They could probably charge double that.
Genius. How do you get away with this though? Is your workload really slow? Whenever I try getting cheeky like this I end up stressing about how my workload piling up. Maybe this would be a good motivation to focus and work more effectively
As someone who's become actively involved in the space, I still struggle to keep up with some of the lingo. I've gone very deep into ERC20 tokens but haven't done much with NFTs. Excellent resource to quickly get up to speed on some of those topics.
Ask HN: Engineers, what useful info should early stage company write in job post
Preamble:

As an engineer, some types of useful information would be things like technical ability of the team, management style in the company, types of products that would be suitable to skill set.

However, these types of information are seldom included.

Question:

As an engineer, what useful information do you think an early stage company should write in its job post, especially in a crowded space?

There are other types of useful information that go beyond just the typical information like location, position, url.

To help you decide whether to join the early stage company or not, what else do you think would be useful information for the company to include?
> IMO if you're going to use Whatsapp; it's the same as if you use telegram or signal; I understand that this opinion is controversial but you're choosing convinience over security and E2E doesn't mean anything if you have one entity controlling the ends.

E2EE is not the main concern any more for most though. Most messengers offer some form of it, and you're correct in saying it probably won't prevent the company from accessing your data. However, I think the point is about which company to trust with this sort of power. Actually, it's more like "which company is least likely to do [bad stuff] with my data?"

Currently, facebook is much higher on that list than the signal foundation -- at least in my book.
Simple, visual command line tool for Redis
I'd say I think it depends on the software, but agree with your assessment.

Curl is just perched at a position where an easter egg introducing a vulnerability would be disastrous. I feel the same about OpenSSL or the kernel. Software that is highly security sensitive shouldn't have easter eggs.

On the flip side, I'm fine with grep or yes having an easter egg or two. It's hard to imagine using them in such a fashion where that'd create a security risk.

Wait until you live in an area with stagnant or declining enrollment due to demographic changes (even if your city is still growing).

I find that your perspective from back then holds up. Flash critics are mostly blinded by their dislike of ads, Adobe in general and by the points made in Steve Jobs's 2010 open letter. The latter was central to Apple's strategy of cordoning off iOS into a walled garden and a 30% gatekeeper fee.

The state of the creative web diminished dramatically during this time because there were pretty much no tools that could replace Flash. Making something creative became the exclusive domain of web developers who understood the miasma of different technologies (JS, SVG, CSS, WebAudio, etc). What came of that? Nothing, because devs that know those things work for boring companies making boring software.
Yeah, or that. Whatever really, as long as you don't alter your data.

I actually run a guitar chord website, www.guitarparty.com, that provides chords for songs, but also some additional functionality such as PDF books, transposing songs etc for subscribers. But the content is free although you have to tolerate a few Google ads. We're mostly local to Iceland but there are always some users and subscribers from around the world.

We once attempted to go the legal route globally and make a deal with Harry Fox Agency (the agency that took down OLGA), we had a contract ready but it would have been quite expensive and risky for us. That being said, we pay royalties to our local copyright agency based on usage.

Whose permit? On what authority? Even if such permit would be required, who would deny it if the alternative was literally the destruction of a large portion of the United States(if we are talking about Yellowstone exploding)?
But what is the end game here? Salaries are also the prices we pay for services/products. If everyone has higher salaries than everyone has to pay more => Inflation. And we are back to square 1.
Ok, that's a thing, but it's right in the name, it's transient. I mean, we don't _know_ for sure what causes myopia, and it does seem there is something with our lifestyle, I am just not convinced that the obvious answer "staring at close things" is the correct one. In my experience as someone with myopia, staring at close things is a side effect of myopia, in that you need to get closed to see, and, I presume, not the thing that causes it, but a really fun confounding factor.

And to @heavenlyblue - don't worry, people have been saying the same things about books as well. I remember reading "Diary of a Short-Sighted Adolescent" and his parents wouldn't let him read because he was short sighted, y'know, for his health. The belief that stairing at close things is causing myopia is common, but, as far as I can tell, not based on any conclusive science. It's just that recently it's more in vogue to be concerned by technology than by books, and, beside, these days, most people stare at screens and phones rather than books.
