I have never been in an environment where business logic could come even remotely close to being definable via config, even if config was some kind of fancy DSL.

Every product I've worked on had deep interdependencies between major parts of the code _at least logically_, because _that was the product_.

At some point you can't factor out the business logic anymore without factoring out the entire business, in my experience. This is a major reason software is so tricky.

Still, I'm fascinated that this could exist somewhere. Have you seen it in the wild?
With limits on how long they can hold the office, there will be a much shorter time span in which they can collect and act on inside information. There will also be a much shorter time span in which they can form relationships with these companies that could lead to the collection of inside information.

In my opinion it's not a solution but it is another way to limit the amount of this kind of trading.

Agree! But isn’t it kind of weird that we accept that ml happens only in python? I’m biased because I’m working on a startup that makes machine learning sdks in ruby, elixir, golang, php, JavaScript etc. Also, to clarify what you are saying, you think companies are choosing to write their entire stack in python just because ml tools are in python?
They extract quite different margins from their products; the big markup (and thus profit, and thus the justification for market valuation) happens not when a chip is manufactured but when it's put in an iPhone.

The iPhone's processor manufactured by TSMC contributes only about $40 to the cost of the phone (https://www.phonearena.com/news/iphone-12-bill-of-materials-...).

The Macbook's M1 key advantage to Apple seems to be that it's cheaper than the previously used Intel processors (https://www.techspot.com/news/87663-apple-possibly-saving-bi...), so again, it's a major boost to the profitability (and value) of Apple, and just a minor one to TSMC who gets paid a reasonable but effectively commodity price for their manufacturing.
Especially the automated scam on ETH is really interesting, I also fell for one the other day.

Somebody creates a new smart contract (token) with a funny brand or meme name, puts liquidity into a DEX like Uniswap and sends the token around to named wallets. Some people hop on the train and swap the token for ETH. The clue and actual scam is that you can't ever sell it. If you decompile the smart contract, only the creator address can ever transfer the token.

The whole play takes 10-14 days, they pull the rug in their liquidity pool and move the money to another wallet to start with a new token. The token I got scammed with ended up making 10 ETH profit, after all transaction costs mind you.

Just reading these make me depressed. I'm taking over a JSF project that uses gradle these months which puts even the complicated old spaghetti gulp build files to shame in terms of complexity.

Even more confusing is that there are some people who love that complexity. They are actually proud of it! Why would you have a globel gradle file in your $HOME that has project specific configuration? Why does your stupid project only run with some specific Eclipse plugins? Why does it take 2 days of depressing configuration work to have a running instance? I used to love Java! What happened when I wasn't looking!? They tell me "but you do it once!!", I digress.

Well, there are distributed transaction systems you could use, but usually it's a good idea to ensure things happen inside one transaction in one microservice (also leads to better code in general, IMO - keep your transaction scope as small as possible)

This is the sort of comment that’s suited to a different forum. HN users will react in an emotional manner so the detail of your comment will not receive attention. You might as well have said “I think I should exploit people” because the responses will treat it that way.

Yes definitely it could be because of risk. There is also a risk that the GUSD isn't returned (with Gemini it's not actually defi, there is no smart contract mandating its return, there is counterparty risk). I'm not saying it's 8% risk free when the risk free rate is 0%. But the article indicates that there is an actual inefficiency here due to institutional restrictions on cryptocurrencies and an institutional demand for products that approximate them.

> A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

The person this article is about (Nancy Pelosi) is currently speaker of the house - the single most powerful person in the house and the person who, annually, sets rules on house procedure to outline what actions are appropriate and not. She has the power to unilaterally end this practice and chooses not to.

Additionally - we're talking about a pool of 435 people here - not thousands or millions. Individual house reps standing up and personally pledging to trade individual stocks does happen and usually gets accolades in the news. This is a case where the scale is so small that you acting benevolently against society has the power to sway society to act better.

So I think this particular scenario is a lot different than being a good person who properly separates their recycling (if that's a thing where you are) among the millions who can't be assed and a system that has no real expectation that you will.
One would assume, that like the faulty brake part, the legal process should be able to subpoena all the logs and the video footage taken by your car, and use it to either exonerate or convict you.

I believe you and some other HNers are exceptions to the vast norms of how people operate.

I didn’t include the bit in my other comment where Discord and Reddit do ban major communities. So portions of those userbases are forced to at least partially leave. We have seen what that has done to both platforms. Nothing.

Yes platform death can still happen of course. There are many reasons they haven’t happened. Many reasons they did in the Digg days. Not all of the platforms have done equivalent “anti-cavalry” tactics the way some have. Still there is at most one example of a platform death in the past decade. Versus so many before that.

My entire point was to not use the platform deaths of the 00s as a reasonable direct retort to the shakiness of current web giant platforms. Especially when it includes things like wondering if others remember internet history. As if people who remember Digg’s fall are wise to something.

Re-write your code. Re-do your projects. Start from scratch. Let a new team try on their own. Software has such tremendous leverage, it’s way more valuable to do one thing twice than to do two things once.
You're conflating two different issues; Windows 11's broken/anti-competitive default browser changing UI has been improved (although annoying popups remain), but those defaults are only used by non-Microsoft software.

Microsoft's other software uses "microsoft-edge://" links which simply ignore the user's default browser choice and open in Edge. When a workaround was found to fix this (i.e. to obey the user's choice), Microsoft blocked it.

Plus Microsoft rushed out this Edge-link workaround patch to retail, while sitting on the default browser UI improvements until next year.
This is not true. The server in the Signal protocol is responsible for message storage and delivery, just in a way where it's hard to associate individual message payloads with individual users (except by IP address, of course).

Evolution values survival. Efficiency is defined as life and death. People value survival, but it's complex. Economical aspects come into play. The technical complexities of some natural systems are amazing (read about tuna in https://www.amazon.com/Song-Blue-Ocean-Encounters-Beneath-eb... for an example).

Wind is free. Once you start carrying cargo, there's a tradeoff between cost and speed. When the cost of mechanical propulsion became low enough, it was widely adopted.

If the company in the article can evolve their technology to the point where it's cheaper, including maintenance, the fact that not everybody is going know how to work on it (always a barrier for new technology), it will get adopted.
Well, actually they are breaking the law, dumbass.

> $1500 turbo

> Probably gets better fuel economy

The latter claim is very subjective, so I'm not sure what to do with that. But a 2mpg difference in fuel economy (eg. 22 mog vs 24 mpg) at $5/gal fuel prices saves about $3000 over 150k miles.

Assuming a 100% chance of replacement at 150k miles, it's still more economical to go with the turbo. And in practice a base turbo-4 ranger is already $3k less MSRP than a base V6 Tacoma.

But beyond economics, the turbo-4 is better day to day than the competing 6. More hp, more torque. More towing capability.

It seems to me like there's a lot of FUD at work here, which is OPs original point.

There are cases when monolith is bad, and when microservice is the must.
Take the healthy approach.

The article is garbage with no real understanding how real microservices works:

The deployment:
Modern microservices are working using templates. You deploy it using that directly from you gitlab/github. You copy paste your artifact and it's there. The builds are taking 2 minutes to build, sometimes less, means you can quickly react on some issue as opposed to 30 minutes old school java monolith. Deployments are build in the same cluster you use for everything else. CI job runner is just another application in your cluster. So if your cluster is down, everything is down.

The culture part:

We use templates, where you have all the libraries , tracing in place. In fact when this request is coming we have some similar functionality written, so we reply to product, oh, this feature is very similar to feature X, we'll copy it, while we discuss some schedule thing our developer renamed similar project did commit and it's already deployed automatically to the dev cluster, the rest of the team joined to development. There is a bad pattern when you need to update your templates. This is tradeoff of approach, you don't libraries as a concept. Hence that you can have half services migrated, half services don't, that's a bonus. The cons is that you need scripts to push everything immediately.

Better Fault Isolation:

Yes, you might have settings down and core functionality working, means you have less SLA breaking events. Saves you money and customers.
Same thing with error handling. If it's just tooling you copy paste a different set of tooling. If the error logging is not implemented in a proper way in the code... It's no different from monolith, it's just errors in code. But things like tracing are already part of the template so for basic evens handlers are traced from deploy #1.

> JS does make sense given it's what you're using in the client.

Well JS is forced upon us on the browser and not everyone is tremendously happy about it. It has improved, but still. Plenty of folks out there will seek other languages, we will never all fully agree on what's good on the backend.

BTW - are we positive JS will have a monopoly on browsers 5-10 years from now? (I'm talking about WebAssembly). Cos if the monopoly is gone JS will die a violent death I think.
Well when you hire 40 engineers and 4-5 dev managers, each manager wants an application they can call their own, so they divvy up the potential product into what they feel are reasonable bits. Hence: micro services. It’s the same reason React was created: to more easily Conways-Law (used as a verb) the codebase
Interesting, thanks. TIL. I have never run into such a policy. But I've never worked for Google or FB, either. Interviewing with The Goog next week, however, so there's a 0.01% chance that could change...
The last time I did web development, I used Angular 1.2 or something like that. I had some forms and many different views that talked to some REST APIs.

It was never clear to me why/when I would need React. I read and worked through some tutorials years ago, and while the reactive/one way flow pattern was nice, I never had a problem with Angular.

I recognize there have been many versions of Angular since then. And there are several web development frameworks, complex build tooling, etc. etc.

Meanwhile, I’m still writing services in Java that handle 20,000 requests per second for a service that brings in revenue in the billions of dollars a year. And I’m writing C++ (very straightforward, no templates, few uses of pointers, etc) for cross platform mobile code. I have some Spark pipelines all written in Scala.

Meanwhile the web stack continues to evolve… new technologies all just for rendering web pages. I don’t understand why. Admittedly there’s far more complexity in our use cases today than the HTML I was writing in 1999, but much of it is unnecessary bloat from bored developers.
European countries may have generous benefits for raising children, but they’re not even close to covering the costs of children. I doubt there are many people who will decide to have children based on these benefits.
Docker supports a credential-helper module[0], which supports 4 different backends for fetching the docker registry credentials: osxkeychain, pass, wincred, and secretservice.

pass lets you use GPG-smartcards, and many of those (such as Yubikeys) will let you enforce touch-policies for signing/encruption.

As a combination of both these however, I must touch my Yubikey every time I pull a new docker image.

Another cool use-case is that I use the terraform-pass-provider to save secrets for my personal terraform project.

You need to factor in the problems that population expansion would cause in the future.
As an ex CNC router operator & engraver in the signage industry I used all types of fonts. Anything that wasn't vector based had to be converted and/or scanned and vectorized. And yes, bit size, offset (for routing, not engraving), nesting (for routing), path & kerning are all important aspects that have to be considered when setting up a job. When I started in 1990 all of that was a lot harder because we were using DOS on a Commodore but those things can be easily manipulated using today's software.

And yes, to a comment below about kerning. From a signage perspective that is definitely an engraving font and it has serious kerning issues. Fortunately that can be adjusted with signage software.

Ok replace c++ with GCC the comparison still doesn't make sense.
I think it's important to be a little careful with the terminology here: JS itself is not optional, really. If you want in on Hotwire and the rest, it's inevitable that it's there.

What's optional is whether you need to use node or npm itself as a developer-facing tool, and needing ESM support in the browser for the way they've done it means it's only relatively recently that that's been practical.
