FWIW I learned Unity and unreal blind with no particular familiarity with C# or C++. I’m a Python programmer for a day job. I have found unreal blueprints to be more than sufficient for anything I want to do, and honestly a superior choice because they corral you into best practice methods that actually use the engine’s built in components whereas you might accidentally end up trying to implement them yourself in Unity because a pure code interface isn’t very discoverable.

I have dipped into C++ for some tasks involving a lot of arrays and what not. It wasn’t that hard to do what I needed to do. I definitely do not know the language but it’s all worked out pretty well so far.
I'm not sure you realize how leaky the abstraction of "deflation" is, or for that matter all of the abstractions thrown about in the laughably oversimplified version of economics that has made it into the lexicon of pundits and bureaucrats.
> But yes, if that's your team, then all code should be written the same way, all on the most boring way possible.

I agree that code should be written to be "as boring as possible" but even then, it's not clear that a "boring" language helps. What you really want in your scenario is very extensive and up-to-date documentation, both of inter-module boundaries and within individual modules. Java and C# supposedly try to make this easy, but mostly fail. The real reason they're still so popular is that they're easy to "learn" up to some not-even-barely-tolerable standard for the average cheap consultant.
Most of the evidence is that poly people are pretty boring

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33956295/

that is it is not a dangerous lifestyle. Poly people have a similar level of satisfaction in most ways as mono people.
> “I think actually women are quicker to get bored with boring monogamous sex whereas many men will tolerate mediocre sex”

Women have easy access to sex in a way that most men don’t. I think that’s probably the reason men are happy to have anything. I don’t know that I buy women care a lot about novel sex after the novelty wears off.

> “a woman who is sexually voracious can have 5 or more lovers”

I doubt the men are happy about this for the reasons I talk about. Yes, lots of women have lots of partners in their 20s when they’re high status and lots of men are competing for them. IME most burn out of this and find it unfulfilling about the time it also starts to become more competitive, there’s no investment.

> “So Poly in the modern world is not about a man having a harem (women have multiple partners too) but instead people developing networks for passion, mutual support, resource sharing, etc.”

This is the thing I’m skeptical of. Men are willing to sleep with pretty young women and will put up with competing with others if they must (don’t have a choice, fairly rare for young women not to have some sort of partner), but would rather not. Women eventually want investment, but will sleep around when they’re young to size up mates (and because it’s fun). High status men would be okay with poly if it meant they had lots of female partners only and pretend it’s all this other stuff.

I just don’t think you can turn off billions of years of selective pressures around these feelings. Maybe you can choose to ignore them, but I’m not so sure.
That is a bit of a misleading way of putting it. There was indeed a "street car conspiracy" and it even led to criminal convictions. The interpretation that this conspiracy was intended to kill off street cars is harder to justify since street cars were already struggling in the aftermath the great depression andany were bankrupt. I do think that the actions of GM et all did accelerate the decline of the street car but the urban myth about is "Great American Streetcar Company" is generally overblown.

With Kubernetes you don't have to configure log exfiltration, process management, SSH, host metrics, etc. You don't have to touch Ansible--there's no host management at all.

The stuff that you still have to configure (e.g., firewalls, NFS) is all configured through a consistent, declarative interface (Kubernetes manifests) rather than a dozen bespoke, byzantine formats or imperative commands.

Yes, that does happen, but the agile manifesto addresses sustainability too:

> Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

Agile development is massively misinterpreted, but this is on purpose. Actual agile development promotes bottom-up structure and rejects the types of process that generate metrics that corporate types can use to maintain control. Thus it will never appear in its real form in enterprise companies. Cybernetic organisation is inherently anti-authoritarian, and corporations are inherently authoritarian, so this is an inevitable and largely insurmountable conflict. I'm honestly surprised that Toyota was willing and able to implement lean manufacturing, agile development's predecessor, given it places trust and authority in the hands of factory workers.
Interesting definition of 'Euclidian geometry'. I am used to call 'something' Euclidean, if the parallel postulate of Euclid holds (that is, there exists exactly one parallel line to a given line through a point (which does not lie on the given line)).

If there are multiple drones in the frame and you rely on object detection only, then you will have hard time telling drones apart. Even if you use something like lidars and get a bunch of coordinates, you still need to know who is who.

You may want to predict future coordinates of drones to increase tracking accuracy.

Drones have inertia and when split into small enough chunks, trajectory in each chunk can be expressed as a Bezier curve. Given a few past coordinates you can predict the future one, so this helps with object detection and keeping track of each individual drone.

When doing object detection, instead of scanning the whole frame searching for a drone, you will be scanning only the areas it is likely to be, meaning you can run at higher FPS and with higher frame resolution.

I still don't get your motivation on writing your criticism.

What is your endgoal? Getting people not to like k8s? Because you don't like to work with it?

To push people away from k8s?

How do you add value to the current infrastructure/platform ecosystem by 'hating' on it without providing something different?

Of course companies present this k8s story as a successful thing. Why would that documentary be negative?

And while you have 'A LOT of issues with the things you posted above' just to be clear: For me and a lot of other people who like kubernetes, it solves real problems, its a great choice and there are of course things which need to be optimized. But if you only rant about it in the next blog post from you, i'm not seeing any value you really add to the ecosystem.

For me, i never seen anything like kubernetes in the last 12 years. I can get certified k8s from many companies in many different forms (gke, aks, aws, digitalocean, ranger, rke2, k3s, minicube, microk8s). ArgoCD is a dream come true.

Can you do it differently with other tools? Yes sure, did we ever had something like k8s before? no. We never had that holistic view on Infrastructure in such a FOSS project.

Again what do you want to achieve? A real discussion on specific issues or just hating against something? Or doyou have the feeling that the blog posts writing about k8s are to one sided?
You do realize that navigating infastucture designed exclusively for cars without one has a much larger negative impact on your freedom?
Fortunately I think the age of social media might come to an end soon. When ai is strong enough to pass as a human (online) what's to stop the majority of accounts being ai-controlled by bad actors? We're already seeing the start of this and it's only going to get worse. This will force the social media companies to place very heavy restrictions on accounts. Twitter for example requires a user to have a valid phone number, but there are ways around this. More and more of their energy well be in combating these bad actors, placing a large financial burden on running the business.
As a "carnist" (first time I have seen that, it's a good choice) who would, in an ideal world, prefer not to be one:

Stop focusing on things you can't change (even tho they make you look good/moral) and start focusing on results.

If all the energy used to try and convince people to not eat meat (something that can't even theoretically happen) had instead been focused on lobbing for systemic support for development of artificial meat ... we would have already had it. Then no one would have to give up meat. Most people have no connection to the animal as is - if the messaging is done right, most will not care, especially if it's seen as "better, cheaper and healthier".

But for that, someone would have to start a massive pan-EU campaign to start devoting billions into research and commercialization of artificial meat.
I would support such a (vegan) candidate.

I eat meat, but I would much prefer if there was no suffering attached to it.
Find You: Building a stealth AirTag clone
Huh.

Here we have the largest, most important chipmaker in the US making and selling chips specifically for Bitcoin transaction processing (AKA "mining"). I was not expecting to see something like this, from a company like Intel, anytime soon.

This sort of thing makes me think Bitcoin is on track to become a permanent component of the world's financial infrastructure, regardless of what I or anyone else thinks about it, because any efforts to outlaw it or regulate it out of existence will now hurt, not just tiny startups and offshore operators, but also leading companies like Intel, which is of strategic importance to the US.

Most politicians in the US will be very reluctant to mess with a fast-growing, potentially large market for US technology products and financial services.

> Even more so if you're 95% on more than one things (imaging meeting someone that's 95% programmer, conversationalist, cook, guitar player, marathon runner, business owner, ... He would automatically be hella more impressive than the huge majority of people you meet)...

Being in the top 5% for more than 1 thing is trivially easy. Top 5% is just 1 in 20 people who have attempted. Most people have tried cooking at least once. Most people have ran at least once in their life (Hell, just completing a marathon would put you in the top 5% of of people who run). The pool of people who have attempted programming by now is pretty massive (and it's a pretty big conversation about how many do not succeed).

Being in the top 5% of just these is really not difficult. It only seems difficult if you only compare people trying to be in the top percentile and not every person who has ever participated.

Abstracting into words will lead to invention of words that are disconnected from the underlying geometry (i.e., shapes that are not possible due to collisions), but have strong verbal associations. Eventually, the word thinkers will redefine the system to allows them to play word games without dealing with the pesky geometric limitations.
I think there is a point to "less function arguments is better".

I think the real problem in your example isn't the number of arguments but passing separate values that logically belong together as a single coherent piece of data. You could make the same argument about passing a Point parameter for a 2D position instead of a pair of separate co-ordinates (and the argument would still be just as valid if you did).

Of course that isn't what Martin said anyway. He said the ideal number of arguments is zero, which is absurd. The ideal number of arguments is however many you need to pass in the relevant information for your function to do its job, hopefully in a representation that is clear and easy to work with. If he'd suggested that this will often be a small number because there are often more effective ways to represent the data in functions taking many arguments (and look, here are some examples of those ways) I might well have agreed with him.
In my experience, Mathematica is probably the best software available for symbolic computations (integrals, derivatives, equation solving,...). The numerical capabilities are alright, but specialized libraries in compiled languages usually perform a lot better. Plotting is absolutely terrible compared to matplotlib.
Are you serious HN? Why the heck has this been flagged?
Indeed. The only use case for resistive heaters is when air-sourced heat pumps are much less efficient - in the extreme cold (significantly below freezing).

In any case, the miner fans are loud.
I find it harder to understand internally though. Maybe I just have not kept up, but it seems that since SystemD was added, the additional complexity is significant.
> Better to build an entirely new product from scratch.

We had bugzilla and a variety of others and they were pretty horrible back in the 00s. Then Jira came along and it was modern and fast (-ish), then I guess they followed the route of multi-b(m)illion clients that wanted X, and got it, at the cost of speed and simplicity for the rest of us.

Perhaps we're at another inflexion point for another better, faster, bug tracker (or maybe github's built in one has eaten that market). Just like IM, IRC -> YahooIM/MSN Msger -> Slack/Discord/Teams, or editors notepad/vim -> emacs/notepad++/sublime -> vs code.
My wife and I talked about this. After selling our cruising sailboat, we have been on about 24 cruises, and I find the environment very conducive to writing. I get up before dark, walk the ship, and then spend a few hours working in the ship’s library (they are always super nice). Many people don’t like the idea of cruising, preferring independent travel. My only problem is that you have to be careful to avoid cruise lines that are very exploitive to workers; some are even worse than others. We actually agreed to stop cruising over this issue. We are glad to have seen a large part of the world in comfort.
> A new social media that says, "we're not removing anything unless it's clearly illegal or we get a court order to do so" is a reasonable pitch in my mind.

I believe that "right to repair" for Android means that we should compel OEMs to unlock bootloaders of any devices that have exited support.

As Google faces antitrust action in many jurisdictions, I hope one of them grants us full control over the devices that we have purchased, especially when they are abandoned or otherwise the victims of neglect.
One of the nice things about Java and C# is that they tend to have "chunkier" dependencies, that aren't split out into an interlocking tree of dependencies deep and wide.

For the most part, anyway... Things are kind of gross if you are trying to use newer nuget packages on the old 4.8 .net framework...
Interesting information, but I wish there was an easier way to keep track of this stuff
Right, and this is exactly what the author was referring to and claiming has never worked. The claim by the author included all “no code” platforms, so both sides of the line you’re splitting.

MS Access certainly is a coding environment though, enough so that there’s some debate over whether it’s “low code” or not. It comes with a programming language and APIs. Same goes for something like GameMaker. Perhaps by definition low-code and no-code platforms are typically quite domain specific. And lots of no code platforms grow into low code over time to evolve into adding more control but not get so technical that they need people with CS degrees.

>I suppose that's why it has grown in price in spite of its supply slowly increasing. Because it's unusable!

The fact that the price is consistently increasing is what makes it an unusable currency. A deflationary currency is a useless medium of exchange as any rational actor will not spend it due to the potential future increase in price. I hold multiple crypto assets but I think you have to be kidding yourself if you think that Bitcoin and the like are usable currencies.
>Political ones have failed, since with national currencies we end up with inflation and spending the resources of the future (i.e. debt).

I never touched crypto so I am I wrong that it's value is even more unpredictable then putting money in the bank? Like I can buy something now and tomorrow some news about a hack or some internet drama and I just lost everything. As a dude that is not into economy theory my conclusion is that crypto would have negligible value if it wasn't used to speculate it will grow or used in illegal stuff, I won't be surprised if behind all of it is a group of obscenely rich and greedy individuals

Bitcoin is like owning some cool trading cards, they are valuable now, they might be more valuable tomorrow and some internet drama about the show/authors will make it's value negative day after tomorrow.

I solely used it in college, but heavily. I'm content with Python now. I never got into making my Mathematica notebooks super presentable, but I think Jupyter notebooks also fill that need really well now. Noteworthy projects:

* Visualizing linkages in a car steering system, and then brute-force iterating on lengths of components to reduce bump-steer

* Illustrating nuclear reactor core layouts (fuel rods, control rods) using "plotted" hexagons. I think I subsequently animated this to illustrate... something (Bummer I don't use my nuclear engineering learnings anymore).

But in general, it was just a great tool at the time for engineering-oriented calculations and graphs. Matlab's syntax never appealed to me. Oh, and my absolute favorite thing was the interactive documentation that Mathematica had. Made trying new things super easy; search the docs, modify the snippet, and now you understand it!
