> there would still be a plethora of databases and languages to support

I don't think you absorbed the point I was going for there.

It sounds like you're prioritizing the website as an entity unto itself
above the content. You're not thinking of the content as individual entities,
and the website merely being a place where these entities are collected—like
books on a bookshelf. That first false step in the conceptualization of this
stuff is I believe to be _the_ reason that websites are "hard" to make
manageable for a non-technical audience. All the implementations of
"Information Management: A Proposal" have been executed poorly because the
thing that TBL was outlining was obviously going to require computer systems,
and when computer systems are involved you get the kinds of people who work on
computer systems and their (largely self-serving) tendencies—which a lot of
the time involves making everything in that system another system.

Do you need to support a plethora of databases and languages to maintain the
other books on your bookshelf—that is, the dead-tree ones? Even for digital
artifacts... the music you listen to, do you encode those as programs with
unbounded power that you execute every time you want to hear a song? Or do
you restrict yourself to relying on "dead" formats for what is sufficiently
"dead" content, and then offload the need for computation to a separate
machine that operates across a well-defined interface and that exists outside
the content itself—a music player app? When it comes to backups, do you
exclusively use self-extracting archives instead of something reliable like a
tarball or a ZIP? Why not?

At the end of the day, websites are really just about pieces of content and
the names we assign to them. It's the entanglement of all the unnecessary
violations of the Principle of Least Power in the form of live systems and
running programs that has made this stuff hard to manage (often not just for
non-technical people, but programmers and sysadmins, too).
Show HN: Atlas – A deployment pipeline platform built on Argo CD
Atlas is an open-source deployment pipeline platform built for cloud-native applications.

Atlas allows users to:
- Create continuous pipelines across all their environments and clusters
- Add custom tasks/tests plugins (Python scripts, K8S manifests, Argo Workflows, environment setup, etc.)
- Automatically rollback applications in case of failure or degradation (Atlas watches the application past the scope of a pipeline run to ensure and enforce stability)
- Use all existing Argo features

Would love to hear all of your feedback and thoughts on this!

That had to be a difficult talk at the dinner table: Sorry My, but you have to go live with uncle Larry now.
I recently bit the bullet and started building my first SaaS. It’s an ordering tool for restaurants I am building with Django + HTMX.

If I order out I usually phone the place directly because delivery app markup (plus delivery fees) are ridiculous where I live. Then I pickup. But I’m really not into phone conversations, for reasons.

There’s already established products but I feel there’s space in the market where I’m at. At the moment I’m doing market research (talking to local restaurant owners) and designing the user journeys.

Reach out username at gmail if you’re interested in chatting about it.
> In the pre-ATT world everyone from e-commerce sellers to app developers could effectively offload the collection and analysis of conversion data and subsequent targeting of advertising to Facebook, to the benefit of everyone involved: individual developers and retailers did not need to bear the risk or expense of collecting and analyzing data, and could instead collectively outsource that job to the Facebook data factory, which had the benefit of making Facebook advertising that much more effective, not only to the benefit of Facebook’s bottom line but also to that of those that relied on its advertising platform.

It is incredibly common to talk about advertising as if it at no point involves the user. But the initial statement is clearly false, it did not benefit everyone, it benefit all of the commercial parties at the expense of the user.

In a conversation specifically about App Tracking Transparency blocking Google Analytics for a particular app, the client wanted a technical work around. I pointed out that the user was asked if they wanted to be tracked, and they specifically requested not to be. The client responded with "But we have to track them!". No, you don't! When actually asked if they want to be tracked (by ATT), 97% of people said no, because of course they fucking did! These business models have only worked thus far because users lacked the knowledge, motivation and tools to stop them from working. That's slowly changing.

You WANT to track them, so that you can make some money, be honest with the motivation. But is that the only way to make money from apps? We've tricked ourselves into thinking advertising and ubiquitous tracking is some kind of inherent property of app and web development, an entirely intrinsic business model with no other option. Well get prepared, because if your business model will fall apart if you actually have to ask for permission to track people, you're going to have a tough time in the highly regulated future. Heck, Apple isn't even being regulated to do this, they just want a competitive edge.
The reason this doesn't work is because of the pressure phone carriers have gotten about reducing the amount of spam phone calls and SMS (from Congress, state governments and regulatory bodies like the FCC). These arbitrary filters on consumer level plans are typically about blocking spam from spoofed numbers and non-compliant businesses. If you think about it, its EXACTLY how email works today. You _can_ try to send millions of emails per a second from your gmail account, but a) your emails will likely be caught by spam filters due to the high volume and b)gmail will notice suspicious activity and shut your account down.

Sorry def didn't mean in a bad way! I just wanted to ask/note that in the PR, and with the very little context I have, it seems like an arbitrary code blob so I was surprised, I'm 100% it'll be well documented in e.g. undici itself, and prob in other places.
My 4-year old project Video Hub App is MIT open source charityware desktop application (TypeScript, Angular, Node, Electron) and I'm happy to have people contribute PRs.

I'm thankful and thrilled for whatever you're up for.

Data is short for data points. But it’s also sometimes short for data file. It takes an expert to understand these nuances and use data correctly.
Wordpress and PHP in general are very MySQL heavy I think. That is a lot of volume.
There are few people in my life that wasted as much of my time as recruiters.
You should speak to Twilio and Sinch since they're now the two main players after their acquisitions of Syniverse and SAP respectively. They definitely have pricing power and should be able to help out.

Disclosure: My company was acquired by Sinch. (I can try to intro you to someone on the inside if you'd like.)
No problem. The approved resellers are sold out and sellers you've never heard of are selling them at a ridiculous markup over list price on Amazon. That's scalping.
> A patent troll could also find novel ways in which a court might view these patents as applicable that Google and Apple missed.

BlackBerry has been licensing these patents for years; all of the usual suspects have already either agreed to terms or been sued by this point.
Wow! I only knew this now! Thank you. This language is older than my dad. Haha. The founder made it when he was in MIT.

I actually live in Berlin. I don't remember ever being without power for more than minutes in the 13 years I've lived here and all of those were basically things like blown fuses and had absolutely nothing to do with capacity shortages. This power outage was in a specific area (Köpenick) in Berlin that only affected a very small portion of the Berlin population (30000 people on close to 4M people in Berlin). The root cause was some infrastructure work resulting in a power cable being cut. That stuff can happen anywhere and it had nothing to do with a capacity problem. There was plenty of power but they were cut off from it.

It’s a bit of a wacky idea, but there are a bunch of outdoors clubs that have sub-par technology solutions.

As these groups are small, usually minimal hardware and a FOSS tool or two is all they really need. Meaning their actual cost is probably way less then their expected cost (or what some hungry web dev quoted them at).

The idea is to bridge the gap between these groups and some tech that would add value to the groups. There is a strong possibility of cross pollination between outdoors groups, and for individuals in these groups to require more specialized tech solutions.

It feels crazy enough that it might work, but the idea is still young.

Email is in my profile if you have any advice, think this is stupid/great, want to collaborate, or just want to chat!
Not quite a "recall" in the normal sense. They're disabling the "rolling stop at stop sign" feature of FSD for those in the beta.
If you like the game Teardown, and wish it had multiplayer support, I am building a server-based multiplayer mod for it. It's written in C# (client) and Golang (server) and using Nakama as an open-source game server. Just working on this in my free time, wouldn't mind an extra hand!

CI/CD from the perspective of a company which assesses software quality
For some context: California allows “rolling stops” in which the driver is not required to come completely to 0mph (fully stopped) at a stop sign. Most US states require a complete stop at stop signs.

Strangely, Tesla exported this rolling stop behavior everywhere, despite it being illegal in many (maybe most) states.

It’s strange that this was allowed to get so far. This violation should have been obvious.
Most switched on I've ever felt was at university. Get up at midday, go for a run, do some CS classes in the afternoon, eat, code until 4am. Total flow-state from midnight to 4am.

That Lazard presentation gets quoted quite a bit. There's a problem with it though: if things were so rosy, they'd happen in real life. You wouldn't get any energy shortages. Smart businessmen would just build those solar panels and wind turbines, and make a nice profit and also become environmental heroes in the process.

To some extend this is happening. California for example [1] had 1 GW or installed solar capacity in 2010, 13 GW in 2015 and 31 GW in 2020. But California is at a much lower latitude than any place in Europe (the average latitude in Europe is about 57 degrees, in California about 37 degrees). And it's also sunny.

Lazard doesn't say what region their LCOE is based on, maybe it's a global average. But then it's going to be biased towards southern latitudes by the simple fact that that's where most solar installations happen. And they happen there, because that's where they are profitable.

Separately, the LCOE does not take into consideration the fluctuations in the energy produced. And that's quite a big deal for solar and wind.

So, sure, new nuclear power plants are not economical, but just operating existing ones? In Europe, that most surely is.

Either there's some obscure news I'm not up to speed on, or this is one of the most bananas straw men I've run across.
At least it seems like the head of the Danish intelligence services is actually facing charges for helping the NSA spy on Swedish politicians:
https://www.dw.com/en/danish-spy-chief-detained-over-highly-...

But I think this more then anything shows why the US should not be regarded a country with adequate level of data protection. I would honestly just assume that they force Google to record every single meeting between heads of states or meetings with companies that work in telecom or weapon systems. Even the most boring meeting with officials in some small municipality can probably be valuable information about infrastructure and how it's going to be protected and these are maybe the most unsuspecting because they think "why would anybody care about the water distribution in our small city".

It's an odd selection of divisions to make that point though.
Well - all the evidence presented in that episode would be exactly the type of information the royal society (and every other federal entity in the world) seems to be wanting to supress. Alot of the information presented is very 'anti-mask', 'anti-lockdown', 'anti-vaccine'. He makes many points that we have devolved into some kind of mass histeria when it comes to covid.

Also, the reason i left the rest of the quote out is it takes away from his argument because despite the fact of him writing an entire treaty on revolutionary thought, he didn't seem to study most of the 'Revolutions' that occured from those thoughts. You can replace 'The doctrine of __x' with anything in the sentence and it would have range true historically. when the Tzar of russia decided that liberalism was needed in the late 1800's, the more people he freed the more those people who were freed swung further and further left until everyone was screaming some kind of collecive anarchism forwarded by bakunin and the Tzar was assassinated.
