>No, you don't. There's no slider for "network performance" on GCP, Azure or AWS.

Who said there was a slider? Network performance is one of the key filters on every major cloud provider. Not every instance type has the same network performance.

>You still do with kubernetes

Sort of. It can be way more abstracted away. What's the minimum I need to run a node? Okay great, now run as many nodes as needed, when needed. To set that kind of thing up with bare metal on AWS, for example, would require getting into some proprietary offerings and/or absurd complexity.

I had to actually go and look up with our default instance type was for our cluster. It's a rather useless fact since it doesn't much matter compared to the number of active nodes. That's not true at all if you're directly managing VMs.

I'd absolutely never trade the complexity of kubernetes for the complexity of self-managing a horizontally scalable bare metal VM implementation. However, some people (obviously) disagree with that. To each their own.
"The prosecution rattled through a laundry list of offenses. But the judge didn’t seem too impressed by the charges — if anything, he appeared more impressed by the audacity of the secret apartment dwellers. So he gave Townsend a misdemeanor for trespassing and sent him on his way. Townsend, who had lived on and off in the secret apartment for nearly 4 years, got away with a slap on the wrist"

I'm a very light sleeper. The two biggest things that wake me are movement and noise. After recognizing those, tackling those two issues over the last few years has made an enormous positive impact on my mood, productivity, and overall quality of life.

Not going to detail my life's story here but if you live/sleep with a partner who tosses and turns all night and believe that their movement and getting out of bed is bothering you, run an experiment and sleep in a separate bed for a week. If your sleep quality improves, consider upgrading your bed to separate memory foam mattresses, or have a spare bed you can crash in for nights when you REALLY need to sleep. If your SO loves you, they will understand.

White noise. We used to run a box fan all night just for the noise but it turns out that those things use a tremendous amount of electricity. We switched to white noise machines which generate pretty much the same sound but use almost no electricity in comparison. The white noise machines are better than a smartphone because they have bigger speakers that can generate the mid-to-low range noise that phones cannot. Years ago we bought the "Lectrofan" machines on Amazon but those are now crazy expensive. (We paid like $15 back in the day, now they are $43-$50.) Your average HNer could probably rig up something just as effective with an old ipod and set of computer desktop speakers for free.

Earplugs, if you can stand them. I like the Howard Leight MAX earplugs. I buy them in bulk and stash them everywhere around the house, garage, and in my car. For sleeping, I reuse one pair for up to a week.

story time:

France just had one of the worst fiasco in the history of mobile app (fresh from this month) : the national train company, which everybody uses to book train tickets, just revamped its mobile app and websites, which were working just fine, to rebrand it and apparently redevelopped everything.

The mobile app is a total crap : worst ergonomics, but most of all, it is lagging on every scroll, even on an iphone 12, even for the almost static homepage.

When i saw that, i told my friends "the last time i saw a scroll that lagged that much, it was a flutter demo app". So i googled "scnf connect flutter". And i stumbled upon the press release for the release of the new app, explaining how proud they were of having bet on flutter.

The problem is that reading is, in a lot of games, pointless. When it shows you an arrow pointing you to wherever to go next, why bother reading quest text?

Also, frankly, possibly because of the above (ie, it's skipped over by most), writing in games is often very poor.
You shouldn't. You might want to write a letter to the governor expressing your concern at his lack of acumen, but beyond that, I wouldn't do anything.
StackOverlow popularity may predate job advertisements, as I think it is more of an indication of early adoption. There is some organisation lag, especially in large enterprises to move from a toolkit to another. SO might be a better indicator on ”what developers want” instead of ”what developers need to do today to get paid.”
> I assume it would be much more difficult to go from programming to medical microbiologist.

You are right - it takes you several years of training, whereas you can probably pick up the bits and bobs of programming in a few weeks, if you have any aptitude.

But the basic idea remains - if you are doing something you hate, stop doing it, no matter what the price. It isn't going to get any better.

> the embedded system model where you get flash hardware that has two operations -- erase block and write block

> just attach commodity dumb flash chips to our computer

I kind of agree with your stance; it would be nice for kernel- or user-level software to get low-level access to hardware devices to manage them as they see fit, for the reasons you stated.

Sadly, the trend has been going toward smart devices for a very long time now. In the very old days, stuff like floppy disk seeks and sector management were done by the CPU, and "low-level formatting" actually meant something. Decades ago, IDE HDDs became common, LBA addressing became the norm, and the main CPU cannot know about disk geometry anymore.

Autopilot only works in the easiest of driving situations. Human drivers include those on drugs.

While I think autopilot type things can be much better than humans, so far the data I've seen doesn't make it possible for me to make a fair judgement on how good/bad it is.

In any case the point remains: you cannot just roll out updates to something safety critical like that. You need a lot of careful work to ensure the update is better than the old in all ways, and that nothing can go wrong.

There was another recent complaint about this 'twitter not letting you see content without popups asking you to login'.

What is this about? Doesn't seem to be case. Tweets are public for the most part, even the replies.

I cannot duplicate this behavior on Chrome or Firefox (Windows, logged out, incognito, because you seem to want to use a site without actually being a participant). Are you using some weird addons or something, ad blocker? Weirdness. Tweet links wouldn't keep being shared on here if they weren't accessible by majority of readers.

The side issue is the reason for these shares is trend of more content being shared only as tweets, breaking news, the dreaded threads etc....with no other non-social source at the time.... breaking news with no associated blog post or news story yet etc, so as HN moves fast, it's the tweet that gets shared.
This is a strange position considering I would rank the JavaScript engine as, bar none, the most complex and difficult part of the entire browser stack to develop and keep maintained, and it continues to grow and become more and more complex along with the runtimes implementing it, which were already incredibly complex by design.

Hi HN - we've been quietly working on visualising codebases for a while now and thought it was a good time to finally get some feedback!

The purpose of Codeatlas is to speed up onboarding for complex codebases and provide an overview map to hang onto while learning which parts of the code do what. Our visualisations are based on the byte size of all the files in a repository and come with overlays for commit density and programming language usage. We've put together a gallery of 50+ interesting open-source projects to explore over at https://codeatlas.dev!

We're not quite ready yet to let users visualise codebases on demand, but thought it would be a good time to get some feedback on whether people find this project useful. We have loads of other ideas for how to improve this further as an online platform, i.e. on-demand visualisation, more overlays (e.g. dead code, CI fails, contributors), smartly showing READMEs, annotating the graphs as an 'interactive tour' through the codebase, .. !
Find our current roadmap here: https://trello.com/b/jg1kn5c2/codeatlas-roadmap

If you have other ideas to make this more useful, we'd love to hear from you at hello@codeatlas.dev! Also, if you'd like to be notified when we ship any of these big features you can sign up to our mailing list at https://codeatlas.dev/about. We'll be respectful of your inboxes and only send out updates when there's actually something new to check out.

Another (completely different) direction we'd love to try out (if there's enough interest) would be to have our codebase visualisations printed onto T-Shirts to use as company swag, thoughtful gifts for open-source contributors or just because they're pretty. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, please let us know on this Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScl5CR6FkVhJMAVbDlh...

For context, here's the HN discussion about a similar codebase visualisation project that came out of Github Next last summer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28074827
My favorite type of bullshit listings here in Norway are typically like this (and they're _always_ sales jobs for scummy companies): Do you want to earn $150000?

Then in the listing, they point out that their top earners are making $150k-$200k-$250k or whatever, but add the small, small caveat that salary ranges from something like $25k and all the way up to those 10x performer salaries.

(But luckily, a lot of job listings here already include salary ranges. The majority being gov. jobs, and the private market tends to be higher than those again.)
Is it your claim that an alternative care provider somehow has the ability to affordably perform the tests you can't afford from a medical provider?
Actually, there are some interesting at-home testing startups out there. I even came up with an idea for one when I couldn't find anything on the market for it, but it was already patented.
I'd take that over pure narration, but would go a step further and suggest the ideal is doing away with cinematics for every little interaction. It is jarring and pulls you out of immersion. I enjoy the FromSoftware approach (as in Dark Souls) of skippable dialog when you interact with NPCs but staying in the field map. No camera weirdness. In old CRPGs and JRGPs also it was like this, some of them even had voiceover but didn't pull you away from the game to view cinematics every 60 seconds.

And failing that, pure text is fine. But I maintain that the primary gripe I have is not whether to hear voices, but the way it's implemented.
Wouldn't mind this. No OTA means less computers and networked junk in my car that I don't want or use anyway.

By all means take the touchscreen and LTE radio out, they mean nothing to me.
In practice, employers try to advertise themselves as high paying, to actually get some decent people. Even basic good stores like to have decent employees.

In most cases, the lowest number will be just below the pay of the worst candidate they are ready to hire and the highest number is the budget for the position. And they will offer you something in between.
If the 'smart contract' is really considered a contract then you may be correct, but it comes down to whether or not textualism is accepted in this case - is it purely a legal matter and highly dependent upon the jurisdiction where interpretation or do other laws overrule the more strict pedantic approach.

The crux of the matter is the special nature of immutable programmatic contracts and the ledger not being in any one jurisdiction, and whether or not this makes it a special case and a new body of law is necessary.

Unfortunately it's unlikely that the courts will see it that way, but they're not exactly keeping up with the global nature of the internet either, let alone blockchains. Is it implicit that by interacting with an on-chain contract you're inherently accepting its terms in a legally binding way?

I dunno about the Biden admin’s attitude toward Tesla, but some of the other stuff is Tesla reaping what it sows by not having a press office. There’s a reason corporations have press offices! If you don’t engage with the media on their terms, you’re at their mercy. In this sense, the continuous attacks by the Tesla stan army are actually not helpful to Tesla’s long term cause.
This seems like the perennial HN "I could build this app with 5 engineers" comment. Every visible FB feature (NewsFeed ranking, ads, Marketplace, ...) has a team, as well as less visible ones like Infra and Trust & Safety. Multiply that by all the different apps you've mentioned, and add people working on the new Metaverse, and 20-30K doesn't seem unreasonable.
> you realize that every company/job sucks. It won't be better anywhere else.

No, and any framework that your architectural astronaut coworkers created is most definitely not going to ever be used anywhere else you ever work. And in fact the decisions it made may well be counter to industry accepted practices outside of that company.

There is significant added risk. Failure to observe traffic rules by a subset of vehicles means that the drivers - human or otherwise - have to guess the intention and actions of vehicles with less information, and greater uncertainty. A driver rolling through an all-way stop intersection is a threat to other vehicles, as it is not signalling it's intention to abide by the round-robin rule of all-way stops, e.g.

And frankly, in the case of Tesla autopilot, the vehicle is not autonomous, and the responsible party for the motion of the vehicle is still the operator, regardless of how much the computers are doing on their behalf. Under these circumstances, correct observation of traffic laws is mandatory.
It must largerly depend on the use case. Games, for example, might not need to deal with text input at all. A chat application on the other hand, might be more difficult nut to crack if the text controls do not work well.
> Because they’d rather depend on an ally than an openly hostile state.

That's the assumption, but it doesn't follow natural economic laws.... where price ultimately prevails.

One only needs to look at how global oil prices were weaponized, in essence Persian-gulf oil producers openly conspired to sell barrels of oil cheaply to deprive their South American oil exporting competitors from realizing higher gains. And... one only needs to look to Argentina to see how that played out. The point is, energy importers prioritize lower price, and energy exporters are willing to maintain lower prices to protect their cartel or monopoly.

Russia has provided affordable cheap natural gas as a strategic goal to create an effective monopoly in Europe. Not recognizing this monopoly is a form of denial or rationalization, and isn't very helpful. Europe simply cannot cut away the lower energy prices, as that has deep macro economic consequences.

Once disclosing salary is the standard, any role that doesn't immediately becomes a lot less attractive.

Right now, almost no recruiter mentions a salary when contacting me, so I have to play the stupid game (usually in the form of a very polite "salary number or gtfo"). Once half of them do, it becomes easy to just ignore the other half completely.
We need that in the US as well. I'd also like to see sub-contracting banned.

There's no good reason other than me being taken advantage of, that there's 2-4 layers of middlemen eating my lunch when I'm the one doing the work. It should be mandated that "finders fees" are the only acceptable payment for middlemen, and I can only be paid directly by the origin employer. Enforcing this view on my own without a law, or the power of collective bargaining, is nearly impossible.

I understand this is how money is usually made, and many here are likely wealthy by taking advantage of this, but it is misaligning incentives.

There are so few executives that not even the most arbitrary and idiosyncratic rules about who gets to be an executive would prove to be a windwall for anyone you know. There are about 6,000 exchange-listed corporations on NYSE + NASDAQ.

I think a lot of people are buying the media FUD. The media breathlessly covers Tesla recalls while ignoring those of other manufacturers (despite that the latter are far more numerous and costly).
Yea, that's a bullshit. Ukrainian-Ukrainian here. Russians now claim that they will "protect" the entire Donetsk and Lugansk regions and expand if needed to do so.

Humbled to be recognized seems to mean something like: "You're all so astute for recognizing me in this way that your astuteness humbles me in return". I find it confusing, and likely disingenuous. Maybe I'm not understanding it properly. Or it's just being misused like you say, but it never occurred to me that what they really mean is simply that they feel honored and choose not to use that word for whatever reason.
