I just watched the first 8 out of 12 episodes and I was disappointed. There were certainly a couple good nuggets but I'm afraid that Masterclass puts too much emphasis on making things simple such that he spends most of the time talking about really simple ideas.
> The statement doesn’t said people need to buy a new phone for every new phone,

You are wrong. That is literally what the statement says.

Look again:

> no longer needed to buy a new charger every time you purchase a new mobile phone

The statement is false. I quoted it directly from the page.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
Indeed. My twin brother lives just outside of PDX, and the schools were closed for a full year, then hybrid classes. His son was in kindergarten when it hit, just like my daughter. His son is severely delayed now. On top of all of that, they finally open the schools back up and shove the kids into useless masks. His son (Jack) needs speech therapy. When he goes, the instructor is wearing a mask. He can't see what her lips are doing.

It's an absurd horror show. I live outside of Boulder, and thank God, our schools weren't closed nearly as long, thanks to the culture here being a lot more common sense than the hysterical, politically radical group-think out there. I visited there in the summer of 2020 (drove), and they had the fucking beaches closed to 4x4s. Because God forbid you drive your truck on an empty beach and catch COVID from..... who???

It was a really tense vibe everywhere we went, and when I went to Oceanside and rented a house, everyone was masking outside like idiots. I've never seen such a nutty, poorly governed state in my life, and that foolish governor did everything she could to maximize the fear, when she should have been trying to calm everyone down.
You're right about the sample size, Australia typically has <1500 data science jobs listed on its main jobs site per year, so weird things can happen. (even one company can influence results).

How to use Terraform remote back ends, and the most common ones
It's always been incredible to me that Interface Builder dates back to NextStep, like that's all the way back to 1988! While I don't on the regular use IB, I've always appreciated how easy it is to hook things up and move ahead with a prototype.

My aren't you a pain. I'm not using HN for support. I'm asking for news as to wether WP is hacked because I can't get through to wp.
Seconded!

Xcode alone almost justifies the 30% cut on apps. A single developer can do remarkable things because of Xcode + Swift + SwiftUI+ Package Manager + all the fixings for cross platform (Linux, Windows... etc).

Strong opinion: this will win all the things (building a language tightly with a development environment, old intersection of software + hardware vibes)

Relatedly: Vapor is doing great things Swift Server Side, and Tokamak is bringing SwiftUI to the web like WebObjects aimed to do... I have yet to go deep into embedded works with Swift, but I believe that CL left some goodies based on his previous experience.

Even after being 5th degree burned by Mac gatekeeper, I hold these opinions -- eventually it will be write once, run everywhere.

>The current government did a lot of price control of certain products (mainly food and services).

Unfortunately, this seems to me like a populist/demagogic measure. We have tried it (a lot) in Brazil, and whilst it made some people seem better off (such as richer regions, like the SE) whilst others lost a great deal of purchasing power, it also caused massive shortages and the rise of a black market for common goods, with pretty hefty mark-ups and waiting times.

> The food production chain is not so dependent on imported goods, but it's one of the main products for export. When international prices go up, domestic prices rise as well.

Good point! It was (and still is) a major issue here. For example, today our domestic prices for fuel (gas and ethanol) and all commodities that we export (sugar, soybeans, iron ore, etc) are very correlated to the international prices.

> Argentina has tons of debt

So did we during our inflationary years, and both private loans as well as loans for public expenditure of all spheres, which were made so as to not raise taxes, and even to pay salaries (not even to make investments). Looking back this sounds absolutely bonkers.

Today our debt is rising fast, but it's mostly internal (BRL-denominated bonds). I wonder how much more of it (and combined with what else) would kick off the inflationary process again.
>What exactly led to its inception?

From what I understand, people noticed the fact that whites were gradually becoming a smaller proportion of the population of Western nations, due to both lower fertility and increased immigration.

In addition to this, some migrant groups (notably Muslims from the middle-east) have higher-than-replacement fertility rates.

Extrapolating this out, the idea was that whites would eventually be "replaced" by Muslims and other "minority" groups over the course of many decades.

I don't quite know how the Jews got involved in the conspiracy, but I always found the accusation that they're trying to increase the population of Muslims to be a bit ridiculous.
The article was written by a infectious disease expert. and an emergency room doctor at UCSF.

Are you saying you know better than those two about whether or not masks are necessary at schools?

If I were you I would simply trust the experts on this one.
So you believe ivermectin is somehow effective even though the evidence shows otherwise?

Cdc goes with the evidence, which changes as science evolves. Some people deliberately misrepresent the evidence.
The spies were only used for repression, not for productive endeavours
I did read, when it came out. I’m quoting Dr. Benjamin Silk, one of the authors:

"The evidence in this report does not change our vaccination recommendations. We know that vaccination is still the safest way to protect yourself against COVID-19.”

The reasoning is easy: many more people do not develop as strong a response from infection as they do from vaccination, and vaccination happens on a known schedule. This is especially of interest since the relationship here was reversed with Alpha, and is still unclear with Omicron - the figures I’ve seen have relatively recent infection somewhere between 2 doses and 3 in terms of efficacy, and infected plus vaccinated being the strongest.

Now, if you think from a public health perspective that makes the call very easy: vaccines are cheap and effective, and more reliably produce an immune response. Waiting for people to get infected means that the schedule is unpredictable (overloads happen), and the timing being variable means that you might have people thinking they’re protected but they were part of the group who never mounted a strong response, or who have waned over time. Rather than having people get infected randomly or hoping that they had a strong response, it’s much easier to spend a few seconds vaccinating them so you have a higher confidence that they’re protected.
This has gone on long enough that I’m putting off multiple surgeries. Thankfully not life threatening. Just significant quality of life ruining.

The unvaccinated are harming and killing a lot of people. It isn't just grandpa's problem.

> They'd also know that pretty much the only condition we're treating nowadays is Covid.

This isn't true. Here in Washington State we're experiencing peak Covid, and only about 30% of hospital capacity is for Covid. And that's an all-time high. For most of the pandemic it's been between 10 and 20%.

If I'm reading correct you're a solo-entrepeneur. It will be hardly worth your time, regardless of future promising revenue.

The negotiations can take months, involve many departments, forms (like 20 page security questionairs), custom contract, multiple reviews, strict SLAs. Some companies ask for code escrow (in case your business goes bankrupt). And that's just the business aspect.

On the tech side creating private docker images for their devops team to install seems alright. I've also heard stories where you'd only get a username & password and have to use a special VPN with in-browser terminal and very limited permissions to install the software. If it breaks, and it could be as simple as full harddrive, expect you will be contacted to deal with it. Their operating systems and frameworks (let's say nodejs or java versions) might be out of date. And dealing with issues can involve multiple departments again.

Over the years your contacts at the enterprise company will change without notice. The new contacts won't know any of the contract deals. I've been on a call with 8 people and none of them was aware what the URL to the specific documentation page we created for them was, or the special monitoring solution they asked for (0 pageviews).

Lastly you want to add features to your SaaS but the big client wants different features, or refuse to move to the latest version. You risk having to maintain two versions.

You need to charge a lot for the extra work.

> What kind of pricing model is common in a self-hosted scenario? Is it still a license per user, say $X/year? A one-time payment with ongoing support/maintenance costs?

Setup fee plus base monthly fee. Let's say 10.000 USD plus 2.000 USD per month for x seats. Plus extra for additional seats. You can also try a prototype or discovery fee where you spend time developing the solution, test it on their infrastructure and if they're not happy they still have to pay. Minimum 12 month contract (they might ask for 6 or 12 month termination period).

On AWS Marketplace you can offer an app where the customer pays for hardware and you deploy an image. That pricing model is per hour and can be cancelled anytime.
Yeah. I have seen that fintechs always disclose that their banking service are provided by another existing bank, but how do you exactly find a bank to partner with?
It’d be nice to track the hard drive space it uses through the years too. Oof.
> But I think the point of your parent comment's reply was that the inevitable adoption of this same techonology in the consumer-level environment is a bad thing.

And this has happened before, with Intel ME that was and still is useful if you have a fleet of servers to manage but a hell of a security hole outside of corporate world.

And now that Windows 11 all but requires a working TPM to install (although there are ways to bypass it for now), I would not be surprised if Netflix and the rest of the content MAFIAA would follow their Android approach and demand that the user have Secure Boot enabled, only Microsoft-certified kernel drivers loaded and the decryption running in an OS-secured sandbox that even a Local Administrator-level account can access.
For F# vs Python, I cannot think of anything that Python does better than F#, and F# has several features that Python doesn't. Things that come to mind in F# are unhampered lambdas, clear and consistent scoping rules, cleanly separating binding and assignment, built-in pattern matching inherent to the language, discriminated unions, built-in records, default built-in immutability, actual concurrency, piping, embracing imperative and OOP and functional paradigms, performance, modules, type inference, units of measure, etc.

They share many things like whitespace sensitivity, notebook implementations, relatively clean syntax, but even the things they share, I'd give F# the edge on all of them.
>Gorbachev: “I do think that they could have done more. Much of what has since happened has been directly related to the collapse of the Soviet Union. We cannot blame anyone for the dissolution of the Soviet Union. However, many people in the West were secretly rubbing their hands and felt something like a flush of victory – including those who had promised us: ‘We will not move one centimetre further East.’”

Brookings is about as useful for proving a point on Russia as RT. Might as well quote Trump on who won the last election.
Well, I meant cut them in a "LOL, no more pensions for you, starve to death or something".

So, I'm somebody who thinks about contingencies a lot and to my mind, there's just not a lot of gap between situations where you don't need credentials (e.g. satellite beacons don't care who you are) and where you don't have credentials (oh no, I lost all the gear) so it doesn't represent a big worry for me.

I don't want the consular officials to be unable to authenticate me in a foreign country because I lost my phone, or for my bank to be unable to release funds because I don't have their card or my Security Key, but I feel 100% OK with losing access to Gmail or Hacker News, or whatever for say a few days until I can secure replacement credentials.

It’s not clear to me that one side is dramatically more pro-nuclear than the other side? Is nuclear a partisan issue?
I agree. People find it normal to get an IDE for free, but when Apple released XCode for free, it was an innovation. (VB Basic/Pro, Borland, and all cost money when they started).

The only competitors were Eclipse, and VI/VIM and other lightweight editors. But, even Eclipse, initially was part of the IBM premium enterprise tools, called Websphere.

So, just like they released the iOS updates for free, and MacOS X for free, (in 2008-2009), Apple has been a true innovator in this space. Microsoft and Co were always chasing behind.

From my perspective it's so funny that the author considers paid SDKs to be a showstopper. Yeah, right, absolutely no way around it.

Here in Russia paying for software is kind of a novel idea even today. Back in the mid-00s, literally no one even considered that as a possibility. You could go to a store and buy a pre-cracked version of Visual C++ on CD for 60 roubles (~2$ at the time). I still have mine somewhere.

And macs were so expensive no one could afford one. My first contact with OS X was through installing hackintosh on the PC I had at the time.

This is yet another many postings on HN recently that used term hacker as the culprit for what essentially a potential crime committed by cracker or intruder. You won't call a robber, an entrepreneur would you?

Using the word hacker for those doing illegal activities just undermine the hackers community. Please use the correct terminology for the benefit of the relevant societies and communities.

The goods neccesary to raise cattle and grow soy, both some of the most important exports Argentina has, need to have the basics imported such as tools and seeds.

Another problem is that exporting meat have been limited by law to try and control local prices [0], it has instead made Uruguay and Brazil start exporting what Argentina did previously and can't anymore because of state control.

It feels to me like its stuck in a hell of bad incentives. Apple seems addicted to having shiny new features to announce every year at WWDC.

A decade ago Apple would release a new, pre-release version of xcode at each WWDC with new features. The new version would be unstable, but it would become stable over the next few months with subsequent point releases.

At some point the stability work seemed to never quite get there. And now it seems like Apple is in a cycle of adding new features, launching them before they're ready, and not getting stability back to baseline before the next WWDC comes around. And next year's WWDC needs new features to be announced. XCode is now in a never ending "preview" state, where none of the features added in the last few years (since Swift) work properly. And someone at apple is acting as if what everyone wants is yet more features. (Or, more likely, the manager will only be promoted if they manage to release new stuff).

From the outside it seems like XCode is slowly drowning.

A few years ago Apple announced Snow Leopard. There was no headline feature. Apple just spent the whole year making everything more stable and faster. When they announced this it was met with thunderous applause. Snow Leopard turned out to be the best release of macos ever.

XCode desperately needs to do the same thing.
As a fellow dev who is in a similar situation but scared of jumping there, thanks for writing a non-standard license. I think the licenses like MIT, while great for many, many projects, some times they are not the best for other projects that are either "larger/complex" (in a very abstract sense, think a DB) or more product-like.

I also think this should become more common and developers should get used to read the licenses of the code they use, at least until few of these "don't copy all my work and just resell it" licenses catch on and some become standard.

The crazy thing is this is creating a breeding ground for conspiracy theorists.

You get a special account from a bank called a warehouse that you pull your loans from. It's not an easy account to get. But you basically find a bank that can offer one (e.g https://www.usmetrobank.com/warehouse-lending/ - specifically for lenders offering mortgages). You agree to the terms you will lend the loans out, have collateral, etc.

Then you lend it out from there to customers based on the terms you agreed with the bank.

This is absolutely the pain point. Having to either keep multiple generations of drive around, and hope that they don't die in storage; or continually migrate your old tape to new tape is a huge pain in the arse.
None of those things have forced us to all drastically alter our lives in the forms of economic and social lockdowns like covid has. It is a pretty silly thing to compare.
