> People often say they want apps to look "native", but really most people I have met don't really care

They do. It's just that they are not technical enough to say "I don't want a web based app".

They say "this app is slow". "Why is my computer hot all the time?". "Why doesn't my screenreader work in the app?". "Why can't I use my keyboard the way I use it in other apps?" "Why can't it keep window size and location"

And a thousand other questions.
> Have you been to the Bay Area? Apartment complexes and condominiums are hardened like castles while their kids play in the safe courtyards and the outside is rotting to the point of unsafe for male padestrians, let alone women and kids.

I don't think this is a fair description of the vast majority of the SF Bay Area. Perhaps it describes well some bits of Hayward and Oakland.

Large amounts of the SF Bay Area have crime rates well below the national median.
This is also why military are told to have clean shave in world war II. Masks were important due to poisonous gas issues and facial hair creates a lot of problems.

So I don't this it is incredulous thing :)
I agree with you, and I think the music industry's abuse of the legal system should be criminal.

That said, they don't know if youtube-dl users are planning to share their files in torrents, upload them to random websites, etc. I think their goal is just to prevent anyone listening to music in DRM-free environments, regardless of how harmful of a crusade they have to go on.
What the hell is happening past the point of 2k where the ball remains in the centre? Is it all happening too fast for my tiny brain to comprehend?

Every corporation is exactly that. Humans are just the substrate it runs on.
With the slight difference that the "gas form", meaning CO2 can eventually be reabsorbed by plants... the radioactive waste not so much. It has to be kept separate from animal and Human life for millenia ...
I believe they've invested in UP in the past. I don't know how to look up how much.
I agree with you, been doing the same thing. I can rsync my text file to backup it, I can version it, I can view it in around 5 seconds within my terminal, and it's private to me personally. This "everything-needs-to-be-a-website" thing is so strange to me. I'm already feeling old and I just came from university.
Certain areas in Bay Area (may be south bay) are probably better than others.

Digging around a bit, SF (and generally the rest of the bay area follows) has a substantially higher crime rate than say Austin or the US average: https://www.bestplaces.net/compare-cities/austin_tx/san_fran...

There are probably better sources than what I linked. It is really bad here in my experience and I want to move out.
If you're doing things in C++ you're already doing very specialized stuff, nobody can advise without actually knowing the app well. Especially if you have an app that rubs in all those different situations.

But... boost seems pretty common. Everyone seems to complain about it, but if it replaces a whole pile of hand written things, it looks like it could really bring some consistency to a project. I've never done serious C++ outside of embedded though, so I don't have Boost experience.

In a dynamic language like JS, you'd search for "Graph theory algorithms library" and probably find one with ten million downloads, investigate the maintainer a bit, and use it.
I can imagine automatically aimed and fired machine guns, all powered by Alexa of course :)
Arguments from ignorance always fall on their own sword.

Every argument you can cobble together against learning the modern language applies as much to C++03, or '98, or, indeed, C itself. And to programming at all. Ultimately, though, it all amounts to laziness.

So the final position is to stop writing any code, and leave the work to those willing to do the work.
If we're not talking about Los Angeles – which is what this entire article is based on – then you're opening up pandora's box.

What about Scandinavian or Western European countries, then? Maybe closer to home, what about NYC – the year the NYPD went on strike, crime went _down_ (not just a drop in arrests, but actual murders, theft, etc). and NYPD realized they'd have to voluntarily restart policing (without the desired increase in labor terms), or NYC City Council might realize they're not as necessary as they originally set out to prove.

When you fund a prison-industrial complex, you're creating a system that incentivizes incarceration, not rehabilitation. These systems don't want to solve crime – they want to set out to look for (or, some would say, create) crime. Other countries realized this, and seem to have much less actual crime as a result, while protecting things that actually matter (i.e. their major trade routes/people's lives/the general wellbeing of society). The US seems to have this idea that... if you don't have a home, or you're addicted to drugs, or you need a wellness check, you're more dangerous than a murderer or a thief (given that the former group makes up the vast majority of those incarcerated)
Implementation idea: this method reminds me that we can post our public keys in bio, which means logging in could just mean signing a message that says "sign me in to %service%" and you wouldn't need to update your bio for each service you log in to
I don't know, I like it. I think it'll be incredibly tough to sell because you're competing with text editors, which esp. engineers use on a daily basis... When I think about it, things like:

- Organizing text (e.g. source files)

- Ordering text (e.g. based on dates)

- Syncing text to a backup (e.g. gdrive)

- Setting up a reminder (e.g. crontab)

All of the above are kind of core competencies of a lot of engineers. So I think it has to do more, such as drag-and-drop images like Evernote, integrate with Jira/Slack, integrate with Anki (for whatever reason), I don't know...

I like the idea, but personally, I wouldn't buy it because I can do all of the above myself with literally minimal effort. I hope you can make it a more compelling offer. Looks great to me though, I wish you all the success!

Note that maybe the solution is to target different users than engineers. Students wouldn't care about Jira/Slack integration, for example. Then again, students wouldn't pay for this, they get their stuff for free from Microsoft.
Why not? What was so great about the old way of doing things? I can't really see the advantages. Hybrid + fully remote sounds much more sensible to me but maybe I'm looking at it wrong.
Consider that each year that passes we get more used to the new way; even middle management who have incentive for things to go back to the way there were - even they are probably starting to appreciate no commute and not having to work in crowded open space every day.

Now a fully remote company is something else, that's probably hard to do. But hybrid together with a certain percentage of fully remote workers makes a lot of sense to me.
Where's E. H. Harriman now that we need him?
Are other cities that operate major Class I freight rail seeing the same looting issue, or is this just LA/UP "market disruption" that hasn't caught up with the rest of the country?

EDIT: To be sure, I wonder because my city is both HQ and a significant hub for one of those F500 major Class I freight rail operators, but I haven't heard of such brazen exploits happening locally...yet?
Yea its so sad that many old beliefs will render the efforts like masks useless (to some extent but I still think it is beneficial over no masks.). :(
Im personally way more productive working from home as I can craft an environment that allows concentration on a task without constant interruptions.

I get that teamwork will suffer etc. so the jury is out for me. That said if I ran a company it would be fully remote.

What kinds of crime are you talking about? Loitering? Murder? Again, it’s all relative. How would increased police funding help with ANY of that…?

There are plenty of reasons to want to move out of the Bay Area. Christ, traffic on the 101 often makes me want to jump off the golden gate bridge - but I don’t see how snarky remarks about “defund the police” help one way or another without dramatically misunderstanding and oversimplifying the real causes of this city’s problems.
It's a bunch of religious dogma.
This is such a funny thing to read, because I see new L6 and 7 tech managers hired (above me) all the time. They're often middle aged people with kids. They don't bemoan this stuff (and yes, while they have fewer of them, they still need to solve a whiteboard problem or two to get hired)

A horrible way to prevent theft. Statistically a great way to create career criminals, break up families, and all the side effects that comes with (like more criminals).

Turns out it's pretty tricky to make a padlock secure against bolt cutters. Of course improving the security of the lock would soon lead to thieves cutting off the locking bars on the container instead.
Red Hat was my first Linux (1997), and I had it for three years.

But Slackware was the first Linux I installed myself (2001).

And it was my entrypoint into using the command-line for everything.

This was back when I knew what was inside my Linux installation.
> I do have things that I consciously want to do during that time, like write music and film short films, but those things take effort and commitment, so instead I spend night after night doomscrolling Twitter/Reddit/YouTube/HN.

Are the things you want to do actually rest and relax to you? Maybe you are trying to turn your life into 80 hours crunch and overwork. And it will have the exact same effects as working that much on a job.

People were not 100% pre-mobile phones. We read junk books, journals, watched tv, socialized, played soccer, spent a lot of time daydreaming.
But why the assumption that it is aimed at FOSS advocates? The license doesn't even mention source code, it has nothing to do with FOSS. Does FOSS has a monopoly on releasing software free of cost? Should no new interesting shareware-esque licenses be shared on a website dedicated to startups, lest the FOSS advocates be offended?

YouTube really somehow reacts to the use of third-party utilities for viewing video. Recently noticed that youtube-dl and vlc downloaded video stream with long delays. Stream receiving rate never exceeded 50-60 kbit/sec. One of the youtube-dl forks somehow bypasses this limitation
Have spent a few years during the late 90s/early 2000s in an industry running on ASN.1, coming from the web. I was initially surprised by how enamoured most of my coworkers were with ASN.1 and its tools, but it grew on me too: the pleasure of interacting only with a protocol specifications regardless of the implementation language/intricacies of the remote party, the guaranty that there could be no invalid messages received or emitted, the automatic generation of tests and tools, eventually balanced out the inconvenience of not being able to readily read data on the wire (it was before every human-readable protocols gets encrypted) and the inconvenience of not being able to start coding upfront.

It was like going from runtime type checking to static type checking: initially inconvenient, but paying dividends after a short while.

So why did this tech disappeared if it was ultimately better than the later alternatives (textual protocols, shema-less serializers, and eventually protobuf which reinstated some form of efficient encoding and type checking).

As it uncannily frequently occurs with technological evolution, the reason is probably not to be found within its technical issues (which basically all boil down to: designed by committee).

ASN.1 was just a bit too inconvenient, the free tools to generate code were just not quite good and robust enough, and the approach of starting with designing your types and protocols and putting in place your code production tool-chain before being able to ship anything was at odd with the mood of the day, which was to let the junior cheap dev fire off his code editor during the coffee break of the first design planning meeting to build the first half-backed prototype that would be already sold to the customer by the time he hits :wq. To move fast and break things, ASN.1 got in the way.

So did formal specifications in general, code analyzing tools, even basic type checking, all of them thrown out the window during the same period for the extra weight, extra time-to-market and extra cost of hiring. Text protocols out competing saner alternatives because they are initially simpler (SIP vs H.323 anyone?), schema-less data formats predominating almost entirely because you can start hacking quicker, etc. are all attributable to that cultural rather than technical trend I believe.

Now it seems the industry is slowly recovering from these excesses. Maybe because of the damage that has done, but more likely because of the end of cheap hardware progresses, encryption everywhere and massive data volumes (that's what made Google come up with better protocols than HTTP and better formats than human readable text, after all).
This seems like a crime that could be very easily stopped.
A few people in my family play Animal Crossing: NH, and as far as I can tell from what they've told me it doesn't have microtransactions...
It's so hard to have this discussion with people that live in California but a lot of the scenes in SF and LA are literally out of developing, corrupt countries.

I think people just don't want to admit how bad it has gotten because then they have to face their fears and take some action to change their future.

Homelessness, crime, theft, lack of security, mentally ill people in droves on the street, "do not go areas" like the tenderloin in SF and skid row in LA... These are not exaggerations, these are real, growing problems.

At some point, you won't be able to ignore it and all the money in the world that we earned won't help us.
Show HN: Distributed voting app example using Go/Docker/K8s/Helm/Terraform
Hi!
I used dockersamples/example-voting-app few times ago when I started learning K8s (and it was really helpful thanks community).
However, I think it's can be way more complete and modern.

This is why I started building this project: hbollon/k8s-voting-app-aws.
Firstly, all apps (voting/results webapp and worker) are written in Go for cross-platform compatibility and reduced ressources consumption (a lot). Frontend are Vue 3 projects.
Secondly, all docker-compose and k8s specs are redone, more complete and flexible. Furthermore, I also added an alternative Helm Chart version.
Finally, the k8s infrastructure can be deployed on Minikube or any other local k8s environment but also on AWS using prepared Terraform definitions to deploy it on EKS.

I'm planing to add more features like monitoring/alerting/dashboarding examples.

If you're new to container orchestration or Kubernetes maybe it can help you !
For what’s worth, Windows is paid and there are better alternatives to all the other things you mentioned. I do not use any of them.

I just can't imagine that the train operator isn't aware of this. Why is it allowed to go on for days / weeks, or even months? If they know where it happens, what's the holdup? Just waiting there in a hiding spot until the perpetrators come and start looting, arrest them, rinse and repeat.

Do you think that shortages reduce revenue for logistics operations with fixed movement volumes?
Agreed with the suggestion. OP, one cheap trick you can do without having to get into smoothing algorithms is to just make the mouse position affect the velocity of the object rather than the position. It makes it a little more difficult to control but isn't hard to get used to. This was the mouse control method for your spaceship on an old 2d mac game called Crystal Quest[1] and it gives a slight rubber band feeling to the movement.

Yeah, sounds like a failed state if you ask me
For planning on film sets I would use the "this is how long it would normally take to do X if you do it at a normal tempo and no unforseen blockers appear".

For these you add the buffer. Sets that I scheduled were most of the time slightly faster than the schedule, until a blocker appeared which ate the buffer, but was usually resolved without eating it away completely. So at the end of a day we were always either on time or a bit ahead.

In film this is the ideal case, if tou depend on the weather or on certain locations being open, missing your slot can mean that you have to try for a whole week to get it again (or have everybody work on something else and rush them over once it works)

You're missing the point. What you're describing has nothing to do with memorizing data structures and algorithms. Having those guys memorize those won't make them better engineers, right?

Sounds you understand locking and distributed locks. Cool. Your next project is a video encoder. Write an arithmetic coder in a 20 minute interview? Motion detection? Your next project is a chess engine. Write minimax with alpha-beta cutoff in an interview? Your next project is public key cryptography ... A distributed k/v database... Can you write a bloom filter for me in an interview? Gradient descent in some machine learning application?

If you're such a great software engineer, which likely you are, you should be able to do all the above (at least somewhat), by doing your research, and writing code.

I'm not saying hire bad engineers. I'm saying the game is silly. Sure, a good engineer (and people that aren't so good) can play the game. Also not arguing with the person that said if your goal is to get paid better and you want that job then play the game. Doesn't make it less silly.

It is a 'temporary' solution really, giving time for emissions reductions and other CO2 sequestration to take effect. What gets pumped down will be released eventually (50% gone after 2000 years). And there is an upper limit to how much can be stored (1500 GtC, or 150 GtC from the atmosphere by 2100 without hopefully creating other problems).

Maybe you're right in some fundamental way, but as an example iOS, macOS, Android or Windows are all considered stable and efficient, secure and highly performant by most end-users. As a specialist one can quibble and point to counter-examples, but all of these are fine choices. The only big differences are in privacy and level of control offered.

It's more likely that by the time Rust makes an impact in Linux stability and performance - because you're using an OS, not just desktop environment - nobody will even remember what System76 was.
Screw it. This notion that we should only punish violent crime, and all other crime should be ignored needs to go. Look at this chain of logic presented above.

>> Additionally, mail theft laws which include prison as a consequence should be
extended to package thefts if they don't already cover them.

>But it is a nonviolent crime. It seems like finding some way to prevent the thefts is better.

The implied conclusion here is "We're allowing it if people don't guard it like it's ft Knox."

The whole point of a legal system, the codification of crime and law enforcement is to stop things like this. To ensure that people cannot unilaterally and directly harm other people.
Become carbon neutral, not stop emitting CO2. I very much want to continue breathing.
In USA, railroad police have jurisdiction in this scenario. Uniquely, in USA, railroad police are employed by the railroad.

As evidenced by current BNSF strike, USA railroads presently have a tough relationship with their labor force.

For an underpaid and overstressed railroad cop, do they want to risk their life to try to stop this? My guess is generally no. They may even desire a cut of the proceeds.

Oakland budget is still higher than its ever been, they just gave them less of a raise than expected last year. The money cut in 2020 was mostly due to the pandemic.

2019-2021 was 635 million allotted, 20mil less than the 665 mil project, due to the pandemic. The 2021-2023 budget is 674 million, with an additional 18 million spent on the community based programs.

The budget is ever increasing, contrary to what a lot of people like to tout.
