My bad, just got caught up in pondering about the second part. You can choose from 3 deployment options: cloud, on-premise, and hybrid. The first and the last are pretty self-explanatory and in hybrid you can host the open-source backend part(https://github.com/jet-admin/jet-bridge) on your servers and we host the interface
Can you name a single accounting system that hasn't lost money over the years? All the big players had major major flaws. I agree with the parent that although Fujitsu is at fault, theirs is honest: i personally find the criminal fault to be with managers and judges who will convict someone based on proofless software-produced "evidence".

If i as an individual who knew nothing about anything went to testify against 700 postmaster/postmistresses, would they ever be convicted? Why would a computer program have more credibility than me, a random bystander? Computers are just weird things manipulating bits, and noone should ever trust them for anything serious, especially to convict other people of wrongdoing.

My personal legal interpretation is that the judges failed (as they very often do) to uphold the legal standards of presumption of innocence and of examining the seriousness of claims produced in the tribunal. The fault rests with them.

EDIT: of course if fujitsu engineers testified that they would jail people based on data produced by their software, that makes them responsible. but the judge is equally responsible not to have independent experts (plural) verify those claims
What! No way, just no way!

You live in bubble. Most citizens include all age groups, backgrounds, etc.

Most people literally have no idea what encryption is, what it means, does, how it is used.

Along comes a trustful thing, a news site or tv channel. It explains that encryption is being used to harm little kids, or to allow thieves to do evil.

Governments spout this blather, because it works on the majority.
Time to run or time to walk? Your body knows the answer
False. You get a fine and if you can’t pay, jail. And they did that at scale. Punishing the poor for not funding state propaganda television.

And how about that time in the 80s when MPs went on primetime TV and ate cheeseburgers telling the public british beef was safe - knowing it wasn’t - protecting the small farms that skirted the safety precautions and were slaughtering sick animals and feeding people poison. Then thousands dropped dead of CJD a few years later.

How about that time the british media told the public to allow themselves to get infected by covid and encouraged them to gather? Whats the body count for that I wonder?
> The biggest reason I don't maintain contact with people from my past is I was a much worse person in my past and I'm either embarrassed about my behavior or concerned that my shittiness is what led to our relationship in the first place.

Perfect summary. The people I'm still in contact with are those that grew into better people together with me.
Private Eye has done a lot of reporting of this over the years, but they are still mainly offline.
Maybe it's related to enforcement of the 764.3(a)(2) of the EAR "Denial" (or equivalent).

Even accounting software can sometimes have bugs. Not saying Fujitsu doesn't deserve blame for making shitty software not up t standards and face repercussions, but 100% bug free is a pipe dream.

This is more about the organization literally driving people to suicide over believing that the software has a bug, but if they handled it correctly - i.e. not tell people that it couldn't be their software and the people must've stolen the money. - that isn't Fujitsu's fault.
I know PE licensing doesn't in general make a lot of sense of software. I read all the discussions on HN on this topic with a lot of interest. I agree it's not even a perfect system for traditional engineering.

But consider this: say you were a licensed engineer, and writing shoddy code you would face the risk of losing said license and not being able to practice in the future. Yes, even if "your boss told you to do it". You are the engineer, you are the professional, it's your ass on the line if lives are lost or damaged. Then your choice is either pushing back and risk to get fired, or don't push back but risk to lose your license.
It has never occurred to me that people might not do that.
Some of the psychological theories they have to explain the figures sound like a bit of a stretch to me. I dont see how they could test or prove them.

In other countries the pandemic + less driving has resulted in less deaths, as one would expect.

The bigger safer cars theory seems like a valid one to me. There is data supporting this theory in general, that when people are given safer cars they drive more recklessly. Also there is a significant measurable difference between the US and other countries in the size of cars.

> They won't forget you but they also won't contact you. A lot of people just feel weird about it.

Or lazy, or forgetful, or they never thought this was a "thing" (basically 0 initiative). All three apply to me, and I need to change it. IMO, the system outlined by the author seems worth trying (or any other systems that I'm picking up in the comments).
I like the use of GBASP hinges.
It's more you trade sets of respects and disrespects. Small towns are great as long as you conform to a narrow set of socially conservative expectations. The south isn't all bad, but the bad escalates faster than in other places the further you are from a major highway.
I think the platform is great but there isn't much value to me as a user if few people are discussing interesting things.

I forget where this was, but I recall seeing video of police crossing on a crosswalk undercover and whenever a vehicle would fail to yield a cruiser would appear and pull the offender over.

I would like to see a lot more of this. In Chicago, people have always blown red lights at speed right in front of parked police cars because they know police won’t do anything (and I’m not even sure if the police are allowed to do anything—allegedly they can’t chase suspects unless they believe they are a threat to society, and I’m not sure that includes “reckless driving”).

The article didn’t mention it, but I also wonder if this (like the surge in violent crime) is driven in part by changes in policing following the BLM protests (e.g., police make fewer traffic stops for fear of finding themselves in an incriminating situation).
For those of you who don't know the context here:

The Royal Mail was founded as a public service in 1516 by Charles I and was privatised in 2010.

The Post Office was founded as a public service by Charles II in 1660 and I believed privatised in 1969.

The Royal Mail are the people moving the post around, and the post office is where you go to post something if you're not going to put it in a post box, as well as do a lot of other things like renew your passport, change money into different currencies and you can even bank cash there.
Well, this is precisely the point some commenters are making, that it feels more like a system for clients and companies and business contacts than for actual personal relationships.
Words and their usage change over time. The cloud has become a term for a place where you can easily rent compute power, in some way or another. That ease of use (you just provide your credit card, click a few times and you get a VM) has become synonymous with the cloud, now package that all up for private use within a company and you have a private cloud, perfectly sensible.

It's not about misleading you, it feels more like they have a definition in their general use you don't agree with. And I hate to bring it to you, but don't expect those meanings to change to what you think it should be.

The origin of the word television is that you see (vision) something that is far (tele). But you can also use it to see stuff that is near, or games, or use it as a screen to read a book. It's still called a television though.
AFAIK it runs when you submit a warrior, Of course these days that's not super frequent, but it's not like you need to wait days after submitting a warrior either.

And it will probably be a lot easier to spend that $2M than $100M of exploited ETH that might have to be laundered clean, and still have some risk attached.
It's encryption, but not end-to-end.

My understanding is, to be E2E encrypted, the keys must only be known by you and the actual other user you're communicating with. With https, this is not the case: you're only communicating with the server, which then relays the messages. However, the server can see everything.

You can use the term in different contexts, depending on what you consider the "ends": If you think of your machine as one end and the server as the other, it is technically E2E encrypted.

But in the more meaningful sense where your device is one end and your communication partner's device is the other end, it is not.
Nice! Evidence #835 that ageism is still socially acceptable in tech...

To your point, though. Nobody is asking you to use IRC. The "older" people are only giving a warning: don't build your house on someone else's land.

Sooner or later, the land owner will take notice of all the nice things that are built there and will find a way to extract rent and/or take it from you. It has happened before and it will keep happening until all the coming generations (i.e, the young know-it-alls who think have everything under control) learn the lesson.

IRC is "old"? Fine. Go help build a better alternative, in any small way you can. But please don't continue to build your house on someone else's land.
It's not a requirement. But in general it's because it's 1 clean code path.

I don't think ES is as common as you think though. CQRS is.
Regardless of how badly designed roads in America are and have been for decades, what I have noticed during the pandemic is that antisocial selfishness has become a valid way to behave, so people no longer attempt to suppress their antisocial selfish tendencies.

I believe this was already in motion under Trump. He himself exemplifies antisocial selfish behavior. It's his entire gimmick. His election and his words/actions as president affirmed the validity of those feelings in people. The pandemic just accelerated the phenomenon.

I think people might even see antisocial selfishness as a kind of individual affirmation of freedom, a personal protest against the perceived tyrannies of modern life. And I don't think it's limited to specific political or cultural groups, because there are antisocial selfish people everywhere.

And so this manifests in people being rude to servers, blowing traffic lights, etc.

I think it's the same reason people buy SUVs that aren't specifically work vehicles for rugged terrain. It's a conspicuous and continuous self-aggrandizing affirmation of one's individual greatness and strength.

Not to be too dramatic, but it seems a bit like we are regressing as a society to animal kingdom behavior. Politeness is dead!
It also works perfectly through Tor
It happens to be the same thing, almost always [barring performing aerobatic maneuvers which definitely require special training].
To reconcile this with the parent comment... yes. Crosswalk markings, however bold and bright, alone are insufficient to make an intersection safe for pedestrians.
Honestly, reading this post, I think I can validly extrapolate that you should be asking a therapist about this and not Hacker News. Outside of that, are you afraid of people calling you crazy or are you afraid of people telling you that you're _wrong_?
You give this advice like it's a choice.

I invest monthly because I get paid monthly.

I invest lump sums when I get windfalls, like bonuses, likely because I haven't invested as much as I want because my repayment mortgage (saving me 2-3%/annum) eats all my monthly income.

I sell everything when I need to buy a property because I'm not rich enough to use my stocks as collateral.
Thanks! I don’t currently, but I tend to turn them around pretty quickly when I get an idea (this one was just an idea until the day before I published).
I don’t really think “serverless” is supposed to mean “no servers are involved in hosting your code”. It really is meant to mean that you/your engineers do not need to worry about servers, because as you’ve said, you don’t need to worry about them. So it’s _as if_ there were no servers, to you.

IMO, any singular word applied to a software engineering concept wouldn’t paint the full picture. But using AWS services as an example, I don’t think it’s intentionally misleading, or of malicious origin, to describe Lambda & Fargate as “serverless”.
It's definitely not solved yet. The various king of the hill servers are still ever changing. I figure it's a rock-paper-scissors type thing: there's no one ultimate best solution.

That said, the warriors have gotten crazy good so getting a spot in the top 10 is very hard.
Thanks to you all, for your answers!
Since pedestrian deaths are 'surging', its gotta be down to something that's changed, not a factor that's been constant all along, right?
I think development of mobile OS heads into a completely wrong direction. The "curation" effect of proprietary stores is only good for censorship and mobile OS have the most aggressive applications that border on malware. At least you don't have the browser toolbar classical systems were infected with?

For productivity I don't want iron curtains between my applications or between application and system. Hell, it would actually be nice to be able to directly interface the hardware without all the loops.

We have a deeply flawed security model for mobile OS that relies on dogma that won't lead to additional safety. As safety issue is data exfiltration and by that standard a mobile devices are vastly more dangerous than the average work station. Comes with the nature of the device to a significant degree, but I think mobile OS have ridden of a cliff somewhere.

And now they want to push apps into a VM? Why not just buy a device per app at this point...
I love when I am a paying customer of a service and they "give me even more value" by taking things away from my friends who haven't paid and significantly hurt my ability to talk to my friends or the general public about a podcast because half of them are a month behind the other half.

(To be transparent I am not a paying customer of the BBC but this sounds exactly like what I went through with YouTube Premium where my favourite channels switched to putting out mostly "Premium" content that was maybe slightly better than their standard stuff but I couldn't share with friends or even comment which to me is the main feature set of YouTube as opposed to something like Netflix)
Serious question: are FL and TX not "the South"? Or is it more about rural vs urban?
>“serverless” terms misleading? [...] I think the terms are intentionally misleading. What is your sentiment?

To make peace with it, just realize that a lot of words like the ones ending in suffix "-less" are not absolutes but relative to another context. More examples of that:

- "stateless" : nothing is truly stateless. E.g. a stateless function doesn't change visible input parameters or globals but the underlying cpu state is still changing. The context where the "-less" matters is the high-level language function syntax and not the cpu registers.

- "weightless" but always under influence of micro-gravity so not truly weightless

- "touchless" car wash and yet H2O and air molecules still touch the car. To resolve this, the "-less" refers to the cleaning brushes and not the water.

The term "serverless" is never misleading to me because I understand the context of how and why it's used. It's more about server-AdminHousekeepingTasks-less instead of a denying the existence of physical servers. "Serverless" is shorthand for a bunch of extra words we leave out.

I think some have tried to spread "FaaS" Function-as-a-Service as alternative to "serverless" but not sure how widely adopted it is.
I would be inclined to agree, but admittedly if you had to route all the traffic to from NZ to a datacenter in the USA, then back to the game server, that could introduce notable latency.

The south has its own terrible, aggressive drivers. See angry, rebel-flag-waving pickup truck drivers. I’ve lived in the south my whole life, and much prefer it to the rest of the country, but we do have some terrible drivers. IIRC, the Greenville, SC area has some of the worst wrecks per capita in the US (or something like that, when I first got insurance here).
USB 3.1 over a USB port shouldn't be a bottleneck. You just need an adapter that suits the need.
I hope the people who knowingly covered this up can be brought to justice. It appears that they purposely sent innocent people to prison, I think they probably deserve the same.

Also, before software can be used as evidence in court it should have to pass some sort of verification process and maybe it should have to be open sourced too.
The problem with your example is that there are still a lot of people making swords. The idea of "lets have a talk instead of fight" is nice, but the peace won't last long when there's someone making swords for everyone who disagrees with you.

To keep peace you need bigger stick than the others..
> Linus showed up on The Wan Show a few days ago just gushing about how the Steam Deck is going to revolutionize PC gaming, meanwhile he failed to play Don't Starve on Linux less than a month ago.

Is that really relevant? The Steam Deck is not trying to be Desktop Linux - it boots directly to Steam and most users won't ever care what runs underneath. Just because you can run other Linux programs does not mean that problems with Linux (even the self-inflicted kind) will apply to the Deck.
> Physics based thinking. I knew electric cars were going to work because the math checked out

Does it mean that the price is going to go up? Suppose everybody thinks like you (I assume everybody does), the market price may reflect anticipated profits already and doesn't necessarily have to go up.

Also success of Tesla isn't the same thing as success of electric cars.
Does it offer accelerated 2D and 3D graphics?
what you say makes sense. we have been struggling with finding a customer acquisition channel that is scalable. However, there are situations in which customers prefer to implement custom solutions & not use a SaaS. In that sense no code is more a competition to web development agencies than to a SaaS business. In order to acquire a new customer you need to find someone who wants to build an app now & needs a custom solution
There’s a lot of other suggestions, but I’ll recommend my own: https://airplane.dev/

You can quickly turn scripts, SQL, REST endpoints, etc into lightweight internal apps with UI, permissions, approval flows, audit logs, and more. It’s like AWS Lambda but geared towards human-executable tasks.

Similar to what you’re looking for, all the UI etc is autogenerated. It’s not a drag-and-drop / WYSIWYG app builder.

Send me a note at ravi@airplane.dev if you’d like to chat about it.
No one you know has been sent to prison over TV licences.
The TV licence people disproportionately target vulnerable people. If you're not living in a homeless shelter or leaving local authority care you're probably not going to come into contact with them.
That would be fine, if alpha blending was handled gamma-correctly in most software, but it isn't. Things go worse with alpha and subpixel-AA, that is just cursed.
You don't miss all the crashes, but there are some fundamentals that when they get out of whack at best you get a flat market for years and at worse you see a crash. Why buy into an overhyped market?
How exactly did you get to “the cause of reckless driving is fat people who don’t walk everywhere?” Show your work.

In most places in America walking is not a practical mode of transportation because of distance; it’s miles from your house to the grocery store, for instance. If you live in a city this might not be obvious to you but half the country lives in the burbs or rural areas.

Separately, it would be nice if we had more sidewalks, but they are financially unsustainable in low density areas.

Separately, the US does have an obesity problem, and exercise would help, but the biggest issue by far is dietary sugar/carbohydrates.
I'd be tempted to add that if you just dismantled military institutions across the planet, you'd have plenty more funds available to do important stuff with. AFAIK the US alone has military / three-letter-agency spending of at least a trillion dollars per year, and all this for what?!
I'm pretty sure lots of car-first/car-only people are not fat.

Not sure what you’re implying here. Those technologies, especially WPF with XAML, allowed me to be insanely productive developing desktop apps back in the day. In a way XAML is the precursor to stuff like React native and the like.

Granted, I feel like MS dropped the ball in failing to have an overarching vision of how their .NET technologies would work together and evolve for the future.
No it should be hard to reliably enforce the law. Otherwise we have a police state and it is easy to enforce authiritarian laws.
Except that wouldn't even be affected by this legislation because the whole shitck is forcing servers to log everything. I guarantee your bank is already logging everything.
You joke, but this is how I start most of my apps. Minutes to spin up a WordPress site which handles routing, user registration and accounts, and admin access. Add CPTUI and ACF Front-end and all you need is front-end display of the data. I use Beaver Builder, but there are a number of options.
"The old ways" doesn't have to be without using technology, what I mean by "old ways" is actually without having complete access to all the information. I don't say go tap phone lines, what I say is do the investigations without having access on every single thing that every one said or thought. Go seize servers, go install fake GSM towers to target the people under investigation.

I don't see why not having access to complete communications should warrant Mad Max. You don't need to have access to everyones data to notice that kids are disappearing or firearms are being traded or something like that.
No, I didn't notice that feature until now. And I thought that minus was some kind of downvote :)
I also didn't mention buying Bitcoin, which I did on credit.

People don't like hearing that the market can be beat because they don't like feeling inadequate. But it can be beat if you understand industries and physics and consumer sentiment. Bonus if you can read financials, but even some basic market indicators are good enough.
