GDP per capita includes public spending, but (I'm guessing here) may not include a weighting for what people value. So America's epic military budget counts towards that figure, but the comparison with (eg) universal healthcare elsewhere is dollar for dollar. Which is to say, GDP per capita does not reflect public values, only public spending.
Where did you find these facts? fyi, I have studied epidemiology in the context of network science in school.
If I'm reading your revision correctly, you're suggesting leaving the feature in place if you cannot spend the time to understand its justification, rather than if you cannot find a justification. Your wording could be read either way.

The first interpretation is generally more defensible, but still not an absolute. There may be circumstances in which time does not exist and other exigencies prevail. As an example, if you come across a fence in the course of, say, responding to / evacuating from a natural disaster, you might consider briefly if there's some specific danger that the fence guards against (say, a cliff or other hazard), but determine that the greater benefit is in removal for the purpose of effecting rescue or escape.

First-responders don't agonise over why car doors were created when deploying Jaws of Life, earthquake responders don't survey plans of buildings to determine why walls exist before demolishing or removing them to access victims.

In less pressing circumstances, such as making incremental updates or changes to some system, performing some inquiry into purpose, intent, or function is strongly advisable, and Chesterton's Law is a check against naive and uninformed alteration without such considerations.
> If for example all possibly projects were executed in FP or OOP which version would be more modular, save time and be less complicated...

The problem is you want to ignore facts -- the unbelievable success of OOP -- so you can concentrate on the theoretical. There's nothing stupid about pointing out that OOP is basically the most successful programming paradigm in history. Most of these paradigms were invented all the around the same time and yet one as overwhelmingly won the hearts and minds of the majority of developers. You still are saying nothing.

As for off topic, when your argument consists of comparisons to religion, Trump voters, etc that's about a lazy as you can get.

Thanks, your post also resonated when you mentioned exactly the way I see it. I will be writing up more on this as it is a theme of mine and have quite a bit here at HN, and other areas where value creators are.

Good news is there are lots of us like it, the problem is since the value creators rarely control the funding and sometimes lose the power to implement these the right way before internal faction wars start. However at all good product and all good companies, you'll see the respect of value creation and the open mode. One day maybe business/finance will see it with the same value.

A couple of points as well, there is an internal and external view of a product. The external view is really all that matters, the market perception. The internal perceptions and processes if they are made too tight or the main focus, the external product suffers. This is one reason I think remote companies that are smaller, or having small teams, do better. They focus on their external view over the internal. Most remote work is virtual just like most communication today and especially the communication with the people that use products. The external view needs to be the main focus as well as simplicity, but also the "friend" aspect of a product. Using a product should be a simple joy, a friendly part of your day. External focused setups work the best to achieve that.
It's actually mentioned in the original article:

> Side note: The potentially most extensive research on the problem of programmatically unblurring mosaic'ed regions from videos was done by Japanese Adult Video enthusiasts. Javplayer automatically detects blurred regions and performs upscaling via TecoGAN, and another person spent months improving their custom GAN that was trained with leaked videos (search for "De-Mosaic JAV with AI, Deep Learning and Adversarial Networks").
> It's almost as if in order to succeed these days you need to discredit and disparage your competition rather than simply having a better product, and that's why I don't buy into buzz words at all.

Meh. In order to sound smart on HN it's easiest to point at something and call it "hype".

> Microservices are relatively new and unproven

SOA is old as fuck. Microservices are also fairly old, but especially when you consider they're really just SOA + dogma.

> Microservice architecture is also inherently designed to lock a customer into very specific tools that make future migration to any other platform a very costly decision in most cases...

No? Not at all.

> Instead of being charged for one single server annually, on microservices you can be charged for many individual components that run your app independently, and when usage skyrockets, it's a sticker shock that you can only stop by going offline.

Alternatively phrased: If you only use one service you only pay for it, not for the whole suite of features you don't need or want.

> We have also seen enough failures and pain points within microservice and even cloud architectures over the past two years alone to raise questions about whether or not it it indeed a better solution.

And plenty of success stories.

> We need to stop disparaging traditional (non-cloud) hosting and solutions that aren't obsolete at all in this manner, and focus on what works, what is secure, and what is cost effective in order to stay sustainable into the future.

Microservices work, are secure, and are cost effective.

Honestly your post contains no useful information and is satirically close to a "return to traditional family values!" speech.
“One can, in theory, start with lots of architectures, then optimize each one and pick the best. “But training [takes] a pretty nontrivial amount of time,” said Mengye Ren, now a visiting researcher at Google Brain. It’d be impossible to train and test every candidate network architecture. “[It doesn’t] scale very well, especially if you consider millions of possible designs.””

——-

If you wanted to find best architecture in order to maximize accuracy, why not just train a model to predict accuracy (not parameters) given architecture and then optimize over the model?

This seems similar to optimizing any expensive black box function. Fit a cheap approximation (i.e., surrogate model) and then optimize over cheap model.

Intel has a 5 year plan started last year to take back the number one spot in performance, efficiency, and fab capabilities. Its ambitious, but certainly not impossible. Apple is currently top in efficiency with M1 and TSMC's 5nm manufacturing, but Apple has lost talent and Intel is fabbing with TSMC now too (TSMC is building Intel an entire 3nm plant).

Apple aside, laptop and desktop sales are still x86's to lose, so unless both Intel and AMD take major stumbles, I dont see ARM shipping in much more volume in PCs than it does now.

> I always saw it as a really good deal to be getting paid to go to school!

Ugh.

You and I both know that PhD students spend very little time in coursework, and that the quantity and quality of that coursework in nowhere near the differential in their earnings. You later mention Software Engineering. Those jobs can be had with a BA/BS and no graduate coursework. So the earning differential is what? Lowest end 30K/yr and up to 100K/yr? Over 5 years, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's WAAAY more graduate coursework that the typical PhD student takes during their program.

And that's assuming the employee pays for coursework.

Do you know what I pay my "junior employees who just finished undergraduate"? At least six figures. AND our company pays tuition if they decide they want to take some graduate coursework. Which isn't exactly a rare benefit. I'm also highly confident I do a better job at mentoring than a huge portion of R1 faculty. Many of my direct reports have more first author papers than the average PhD candidate.

Pay your junior employees what they're worth. Or, if you can't, at least pay into their federal disability/uneumployment insurance so that if they get hit by a bus and can't work they aren't completely fucked! Or, if you can't do either, at least be honest about how horridly exploitative the situation is, both with them and with yourself.

Again, if R1 professors are not exploiting these poor kids, then why are R1 professors the ONLY mid-level managers in the entire country whose direct reports don't receive unemployment insurance? Seeking out the only exemption in the entire country to paying your direct report's Social Security, Disability, and Unemployment is absolutely absurd and horridly unethical if you stop and think about it for even a second.

I don't know how people who work in the academic industry are able to convince themselves that what they are dong isn't reprehensible. I guess if you're smart enough it's easy to talk yourself into anything.

> The several that I know do this by helping them find jobs --after-- before they are done.

That's totally irrelevant. It's the years of absurdly underpaid labor that I would feel guilty about, not the job prospects at graduation.

> And if the jobs are outside of academia, they are usually well paying (engineering, or software engineering etc, in the defense industry).

I find that most academics who say this are full of shit and did very little to actually help their students find employment.

I once had a conversation with a math professor who told me that he tells his phd grads to just "go into finance" if they can't find an academic job. This was in 2009.

That aside, all of those jobs are available by simply dropping out after year two with a masters degree. Or, often, right after undergraduate.

Again, I don't get how academics look themselves in the mirror in the morning. I'm glad I turned down the R1 TT.

Someone needs to come up with a plausible set of gender-neutral terms. They/their/them works for she/hers/her/he/his/him circumstances, but the needs are broader than that.

I agree with this sentiment in principal. In this particular case it gets a little hairy since the service is illegal in Canada, but the company is based in the USA and no longer accepting Canadian customers. I'm not sure what the line should be, but certainly we don't want a situation where any internet company can be shut down by any country that interacts with the internet.

Of course, I also think we should make this business model illegal in any country. But that's a different thread.
That’s definitely part of it.

But for context I’m basing part of that opinion on conversations I had with factory owners I’ve done business with in some of those countries running import/export. Many Chinese manufacturers see the conflict between the US and China as bad for business and have optioned third party countries to continue doing business no matter what happens. They’re very smart people.
Current inflation is mostly supply-side driven. Having said that, M2's biggest jump in its history was in early 2020 (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL). Its slope before and after is more or less the same. However, I don't think inflation will lag it by more than a year.

Microservices make sense in some scenarios.

I work at a large retail company with who knows how many developers. We have different teams for payment, promotions, product search, account, shipping and more. All of them working on a single codebase with coordinated deployments would be a nightmare.

Previously, I joined a startup (previous coworkers of mine), a developer and a business guy. The developer "drank the microservices kool-aid", and came up with (in theory) super scalable solutions and like a dozen of microservices. It was difficult to keep things in mind, the tech stack was way too complicated for two developers. It was also less performant and more costly. The added complexity was totally unnecessary, especially because we never got neither tons of users, nor more developers. The business guy trusted the developer, so the company never worked enough on their product and USP. I guess the developer just didn't want to accept that the fancy tech solutions won't bring success.

Yet another time, we were a small team (5-ish devs, product owner, and a designer). We started with a monolith and we paid attention to software design and moved quickly.

Also, for some reason it's often overlooked, that you can make your monolith modular and design it so that when the day comes, you can split it up into smaller services. You don't need to start with microservices, you can start with a monolith and figure out later how to split it up (if necessary).

Microservices and "monoliths" have their place, you just need to know when to use which.
It does appear to exist solely to let users use their own local hardware:

https://wiki.debian.org/PolicyKit

PolicyKit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes, in order to
grant some user the right to perform some tasks in some situations. It is
sometimes referred to as "the sudo of systemd".

Sample uses:

Let the user Hibernate and shutdown the computer.
Let the user manage (Wireless) connections.
Let the user mount/eject a removable media (CD/DVD, USB keys...)
Let the user access devices, like audio, scanner, etc.

We already had a solution for this before: you add the user to the 'audio' group. And SELinux could do this too. But apparently RedHat just wanted another layer (https://lwn.net/Articles/258592/).

"This is better than groups and setgid processes, because it means someone can't log in over ssh and mess with another user at the console." - Because that's what desktop users are really concerned about. We need more complexity because somebody might hax0r my desktop over SSH.

And, wow, they really actually did use XML as their configuration:

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<match user="davidz">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match user="freddy">
<return result="no"/>
</match>
</match>

So, not only is it superfluous, it also doesn't make the user's life easier, it's super annoying to configure, everything depends on it, and now the thing intended to improve security has caused a security issue.

Sure, and a microservices architecture to me implies a larger movement towards function-esque, idemopotency, analyzability and away from global state.
