> who benefits most in that equation?

That depends on how the extra profit is distributed, aka taxation and social welfare. Slaving away 40 hours a week on a bullshit job that can be trivially automated is not a benefit per se.
Yes there are people with 100% good intentions working in this space. There were also people with 100% good intentions working at Theranos.
the term "robotics" is beginning to expand in some ways though. "robotic process automation" refers to tools and techniques to automate a lot of the data-entry and human-facing software components of industrial workflows. so while hard robotics tend to dominate the media, it's important to remember that automation is making gains in many areas.

I think he meant actually running the serving of the content from the phone's hardware, not actually doing the development itself on the phone.
The article itself isn't really HN material is it? If it was about somebody writing a Lisp program that generated pictures of 2m high Kale growing on modern pictures of Jersey it might be more interesting. As it is, cows eat green things, news at 11. Even the author at Atlas Obscura seems bored by it.
You might want to see what people are actually saying. The problem with ID checks is that there are barriers to entry which are conspicuously not evenly distributed. If you live in a big city, sure, it's easy but there are a lot of people around the country who have real challenges getting to the closest DMV (which can be hours away after closures and poorly connected to transit), coming up with the various paperwork establishing their identity (e.g. think about a newly-widowed 80 year old whose husband's name was on the mortgage, all of the bills, etc.), and non-trivial amounts of money.

I really wish that someone would seriously propose a voting reform act which would basically be the national equivalent of “motor voter registration” except for anyone, at no cost, and either with widespread offices or free transportation (to cover the poor, old, blind, etc.). Get rid of every possible excuse for not having ID and then we can clean up so many screwy processes which rely on a patchwork of paperwork to handle different situations, no two agencies with identical requirements.
Honestly, "every team in the same company having full control over what kind of stack they want to use" sounds like a nightmare. Soon you have services running in Python, C++, Java, Go, and node.js, with five different internal libraries talking to MySQL, all slightly incompatible with each other. (Let's hope someone doesn't start up a PostgreSQL server.)

We also had curated directories, DMOZ being the most common.

This is Moxie's point. Web 1.0 is actually decentralized and permissionless. You can actually host that image on your own Web 1.0 without any gatekeepers being involved.
The thing that is telling to me about all of these "revolutions" is WHO is doing the hype and to what end.

Web 1.0 it was the nerds saying it was going to change the world and the people with no knowledge of how the internet worked saying it was BS.

Web 2.0 for the most part just seemed to naturally happen without a ton of specific hype and was what finally got all the naysayers of Web 1.0 on board.

Web 3.0 is all the OG naysayers saying it is going to change the world while the nerds roll their eyes.

Personally I am looking forward to Web 3.1 :-D

My email account's spam folder receives spam at a pace of one every 2 hours (my address got pwned) and one or two of them per day seem to make it to the inbox. I can't ditch that account right now as all email from government services and social circles are still received there as well, as that address has been used for something like 12 years now.

A change in the Google's antispam algorithms (is it still blacklisting?) might be the cause, and I additionally suspect the spam mails' extensive use of latin-looking unicode characters to evade the filters.
HASP was rebranded JES2 when 370 came along. IO devices were principally card readers and printers, but the neat trick was the internal reader.

In general I've begun to think of the whole small internet movement as a countrerculture phenomenon. It's got a lot of touching stones with the bohemians, the beats, the hippies, etc. What they've all got in common is a search for independence, authenticity and community.

I do think the retro-aesthetic is more of a statement than anything else. It's like the long hair of a hippie. Like there's no reason a hippie couldn't have a crew cut and think like a hippie and live like a hippie. Yet almost none of them did. For the same reason almost no small website has a bootstrap template.
Yeah a lot of the aggregating effects start from search engines, which is why SEO rankings are such a big deal.

Aye that sucks. I have a PHP answer that is the accepted answer, but the PHP wonks got all up in arms about it because the immediate solution for the OP was to use the global keyword in their class method to get access to an array that's being created/modified in the global scope. I did caveat by letting them know this isn't a fantastic solution. But it looks like their app had a shedload of bigger problems that weren't going to be solved in my answer.

I also miss the early days.

Apropos my previous reply, I wasn't having a go at you, though re-reading it does seem that way, so I do apologise. I'd had a couple of wines and whenever stuff like this comes up I do feel slightly hacked off at all the effort I'd put into help build that empire (I was a <500 beta user, and was also a diamond mod).

It starts with knowing why it was originally pronounced "eh-mohjee", and not "ee-mojee".

The better question, then, if you really want to learn about culture, is why red is a good color in Japanese culture.

I'll just tell you: Red is related to sun symbolizm in Shinto, it scares away evil spirits of 'the dark'. And the Japanese emporer (before McArthur said otherwise) was a sun god (descended from Amaterasu). Some Japanese still intrinsictly believe this. This is represented in the Japanese 'asahi' emperial flag with the red circle and red lines, and in the current national flag with the red circle (white is a symbol of purity in Shinto, as well, btw). Torii gates are also red, etc etc.
Sounds like a second circle. Jeeze, my condolences.
Good to hear -- my startup wants to be one more example.

Irony: The opportunity, goal, purpose of my startup is to help people find such Web sites, especially little or focused ones, that they will like. Or the short description of my startup is to help people find Internet content they will like, say, via, roughly search, discovery, recommendation.

A novel part is that the site gets some new data via a likely so far unique iterative, interactive dialog, specific to each use, and then manipulates that data with some math I derived, likely new. A classic, but mostly neglected, advanced pure math result says that, in principle, the iterations should converge to what can be regarded as the right results!

For more, no key words are involved. Can argue that the results give the user the results, content, with the meaning they will like best, i.e., make some progress on working with meaning. So, the problem, the challenge is to respond to the explosion of Internet content, now often from specialized, focused, small Web sites.

For one more -- there are no user IDs, logins, or use of HTTP cookies. In particular, two users who execute the same dialog on the same day (i.e., before I add to the database) get the same results. I.e., for the users there is some relatively good privacy.

Here I'm just taking the opportunity of this OP to describe my solution.

I wrote the Web site code, in .NET, and as far as I can tell the code is ready for significant production. As in the OP and some of the comments already in this thread, my plan is, indeed, to run my own server, using Windows Server, SQL Server, and, for hardware, an AMD FX-8350 at 4.0 GHz. I'm adding data, am not live yet, and have not settled in a domain name yet.

What'd you think?

> One thing that separates EdgeDB from ORMs is the explicit design decision to be coupled with one specific database.

Yes, this is fundamental, and it is what enables us to drive the innovation in the query language. PostgreSQL's query engine is awesome and very powerful, but it is hopelessly obscured by SQL and its data model, and then further by the ORMs. EdgeDB and EdgeQL liberate that power and present it in a modernized way. EdgeQL wouldn't be possible or practical today without Postgres.
Possibly in an ideal environment. But expecting the same someone to work with me for an entire week to either debug or design usually hasn't been realistic. Keep talking with different people, or the same person on and off has a huge context cost.

What I've found to be a good middle ground is take some time to think things through myself first, at least in rough strokes. Then have someone else come in and review the work. There is a balance of doing too much vs too little yourself of course, but I don't think there is a hard and fast rule (e.g. 1 day worth) for it.
Part of the problem here is that SoC drivers are hacked on top of the kernel (and are not merged in-tree). So SoC vendors have this pile of legacy and hacked-on code they need to cherry-pick every time the Kernel changes an interface they used (which is a lot) [0]. Of course, that costs and fortune and hampers the sales of newer chipsets so it’s not in the SoC vendor’s interest to do so.

I was hopeful with Windows Phone running a build of NT that the platform would still have the same strict ABI compatibility for drivers as the desktop version has. So you get kernel updates and the existing drivers just work.

Now, with Windows getting some emulation support for Linux (one of their Subsystems for Linux effectively translates system calls and execution happens in the NT kernel) I wonder if they could ship a phone running NT with an Android userland.

> We use bounded contexts ("modular monolith") with strictly separated concerns.

>because the logic between modules is too intertwined and coupled.

That doesn't sound very modular? If your bounded contexts are intertwined, I don't think they can be considered bounded contexts. A modular monolith would only communicate between contexts through well-defined and non-leaky APIs, and that's the opposite of intertwined.
Some amount of evolution is fine, and I think your “pace of language change is increasing” may be true for some languages and time scales, but most languages don’t change more in their second five years than their first.
There's a local burger joint with two screens where customers can ring up their own order. There's always a line at the register and never at the screens. I've walked in, keyed in my order, and received my food faster than people in line. And yet people just don't seem to want to use them. Yesterday I walked in and both screens had an "Out of order" sticky note on it. Minimum wage jobs have a few more years of life left.
Yes. My point is that detecting people is not hard and everyone but Tesla already seems very good at it. What's hard is understanding what they want to do and reacting to it. That part is much easier if everything is going 10 mph or less.

Detecting inconspicuous transition between sidewalk and road is difficult, but if you haven't noticed, human drivers don't seem to care much about it either.

If you work on a particular problem (lets say because it is your startup's object of research) you very likely are testing a large number of architectures on your dataset.

With this you could train a GNN on the various models you tested to speed-up training new ones.
Theoretically yes, but in practice the given industry as a whole often does not need much more output even if the per unit cost of the output declines. Like, you don't need significantly more accounting just because you can use spreadsheets now.

And not all automation increases worker productivity, lots of it just eliminates workers from certain jobs altogether, e.g. self driving cars / trucks.

> that's why I don't buy into buzz words at all.

Clearly you do, because this is mostly nonsense driven by your knee jerk reaction to “microservices”. Very little you’ve written here is substantive. It’s all emotional appeal covering ignorance.

> If it's not broken, don't fix it...

But it is broken. Engineers often experience significant pain from monoliths so they look for a solution. They often also experience significant pain from microservices so the pendulum returns. Hopefully during all of this we learn enough that at least some pain is reduced, whether we land on microservices or monoliths or hybrid solutions.

> We need to stop disparaging … and focus on what works

Here I agree. Focus on what works and stop engaging in low value attacks on solutions that clearly work for some.

> The more we allow marketing minds to take control of our IT decisions…

What “marketing minds” are making decisions about service architecture? This seems like an imaginary issue.

Not being guilty of breaking specific mandatory disclosure laws doesn't mean he didn't break the law or participate in grossly inappropriate and dangerous behavior, especially given the sources and nature of his federally funded research.

"tech companies" are not a protocol, nor are they a network built on that protocol, so the comparison here is specious at best. HTTP doesn't ban anyone, nor does TCP/IP nor does HTML, the internet or the web.
I follow the NFT thing, at least in its metaverse incarnation, and it looks like it's about over. None of the 3D worlds that have NFTs have significant usage. The reaction of game companies is mostly "do not need or want". The reaction of gamers is "hell, no". Nobody is doing much with their overpriced "virtual land". Where it even exists. There are many wannabe virtual worlds that never actually launched a 3D world.

There isn't much of an NFT resale market. There are minters, and there are suckers. Any chance to make money flipping NFTs was used up last year. NFTs may stay around as collectables, but to make money that way, you must have fans who buy your merch. You need to own an NBA franchise, be a famous performer, or have a major collectable brand.

NFT sentiment on Reddit has gone from positive to very negative in the last three months. The hype isn't working any more. Without hype, it dies.

Then there's enforcement. About twice a month, the US SEC brings the hammer down on some crypto-related crook.[1] They're still working through the Initial Coin Offering scam backlog. They'll get to NFTs as the complaints start coming in.

This is agreeably congruent with my original statement,

The main problem I have with microservice marketing:

It is often promoted to clients that do not have applications that are large or critical enough to warrant leveraging them.

That buyers often are properly warned about their inability to easily migrate if they invest in platform-specific microservices too heavily.

And clients are often not aware of the operational costs that can rise over time for each component of the distributed architecture.

"Monolithic" solutions have also not stagnated... They can be run in distributed methods, they can leverage microservices in parts, they can also leverage containers, they are far from obsolescence because they are using the same languages that microservice architectures use, just with less distribution overall.

The term monolithic is often used to indicate that less-distributed solutions are somehow "out of date", "obsolete" and "not innovating" inaccurately, when the real story is that the business case usually dictates which solution will fit best.

Very cool and sensical when you pause to think about it. While different architectures might have different components, they are also likely to reuse building blocks (ie: the first layers of convolutional neural networks are famously very similar from one problem to another).

In essense this detects those building blocks and plugs the known weights in for you.
