> shutting down news media that they disagree with

I suspect what you mean by this is "outlets claiming to report 'news' but actually spreading misinformation".

That's quite different from "disagreement".
I know it is significantly less easy and not free, but wouldn’t a dedicated $6 vps running a level 4 haproxy to get access be a lot safer? A script to ssh to the vps to update your backend ip is pretty trivial.
Thank you for the kind words. It seems like export is a popular request. One question for you. If you export, how do you plan on making future edits? Going back to the platform to edit and export again or editing the exported code? I ask this because the export wont be html/css. It will be a small index.html with a large JSON.

Thanks for the publish suggestions. I will do some research to see how easy it is to implement.

When you say templating do you just mean pre-made sections/blocks? That already exist right now (on the second tab in the create menu). Also the ability to make custom pre-made is coming. But when you say templating do you actually mean having a component and when you edit that component, all other copies of the component changes as well?

Thanks for the feed back.
> But is a push against racism, for gender equality, LGBT rights really wrong?

No, of course it isn't. But many people I know, myself included, are afraid to speak out against what we see as new forms of hate levied in their name. The CHAZ or the hijacking of this brutal war against Ukraine into a commentary on care only being bound to race or the evacuation of cisgendered women and men from their own bodies by way of language so that everyone is "just" a vagina-haver or penis-possessor are just a few examples of where I see these pushes become the very weapons of the forces its proponents profess to fight.

> Do you notice, how much people, who stand for those issues, get attacked in the public discussion?

As a liberal (or what was liberal 10 years ago), I mostly notice how much people who stand for these issues attack others who have a different opinion and try to silence them.

This is the first time I'm giving voice to some of these deeply unpopular opinions in the new liberal left spaces like HN, for which I fully expect to be downvoted and potentially flagged into oblivion.

I don't think the oft-violent rhetoric and deplatforming crusades of the new left is the right way of effecting positive change on the world.
Not in the near term, but I assume election wise the US will be back to full fracking and natural gas exports will resume from the US. Over $5/gallon pump prices are not a winning election strategy in the US.
I think maybe we're talking about different things, and it certainly doesn't help that we're trying to translate concepts from sanskrit, pali, apabhraṃśa, abahatta, etc. that don't necessarily have great translations into an English speaking society without much of a tradition in these things.

I absolutely agree that anyone can (and should!) sit quietly in a room and breath. That could probably fall under a category of beginner pranayama or pratyahara. Physical yoga or qi gong practice is also a great thing to undertake as it begins to develop awareness of breath and sensation at this stage.

But I think what a lot of others here are discussing is a meditation practice that has a goal of uncovering deeper layers of consciousness and realizing the nature of mind. Without support that can be quite overwhelming. If it isn't for you, that's wonderful! It definitely was for me.
In fact nuclear plants are optimal for this
It's even worse now. Many juniors can barely get in the industry, let alone for a living remotely close to that a few decades ago (in many places even just a decade-half a decade ago). Tech requirements have grown to ridiculous proportions with many companies unwilling to teach, or trying to profit off the unwillingness of others to teach, at the cost of the potential hire. Meanwhile, corporations haven't really gotten less stressful over time. The improvements in tooling haven't necessary resulted in easier jobs as much as more requirements piled on top.

This doesn't mean IT is worse than most other fields, but it sure hasn't gotten any better given the problems most younger generations run into today.
Thanks for looking it over.

Imagine you are looking at a thrift spec or a protobuf file where all the data is laid out, and then ask how would you add transformation to that spec. So, the Adama starts with laying out state and then goes hog wild on how to transform that state.

As to what is persisted, the document you are outline is.

At core, Adama is a key to document store except you don't have the typical operations. Instead of put or get, you can "send a message to a document" or subscribe to "your personal view of the document". The language bridges the gap in how sending messages transform the document and how privacy dictates your personal view.
Atmosphere does play a part but just freespace losses are going to be massive, probably at least 250dB just for the distance voyager is at. Atmosphere could add another 60-100dB. Voyager's antenna has about 40dB of gain but the DSN network can array multiple antennas to make up for the losses. They have up to 2 70m dishes and several 34m dishes that can point at Voyager, quite a massive antenna gain.
Yes, Americans have strong distaste for some things that are happening but are pretty complacent in the grand scheme of things. We are allowing very high levels of crony or state capitalism.

For example, everyone complains about healthcare, housing, climate, or war and little is accomplished

Plenty of smart kids could be doctors but we have an inefficient, exclusionary training system that lasts 11 years minimum post-secondary. Some inroads are made to improve but way too slowly. At age 18, go to school 36 weeks a year? Kindergarten kids who can barely wipe their butts get more instruction than our adult university students who will be treating our cancers? WTF!

You go to the pharmacy to get a medicine that has been around 80 years and costs $3 in India due to having 20 [legit] suppliers (like tylenol) and there are 1-3 suppliers in the USA and it costs $80. Because FDA is now very Soviet and creates onerous, stonewalling barriers in the name of crony profit.

The FDA did this with the initial COVID testing -- stonewalling on the approval of foreign developed tests -- and it certainly had some element of domestic (crony?) profit motives involved. How many people died? How many?

I mean WTF? I go to WalMart once a week and it seems like every week the TVs are better and cheaper. I can buy gigabytes of RAM from state of the art factories but 80 year-old drugs are as expensive as ever. WTF!

Everyone wants housing to be cheaper except many are either NIMBYs or asset holding boomers who won't make a sacrifice in the name of long-term economic development or equity.

American young men (and women) who could be pridefully building or renovating housing and learning trades are sitting uneducated in their parents basements, obese and depressed at very very high rates.

Same with climate. Many want clean energy as long as it's over-subsidized solar and EVs rather than a community investment in solar, wind, or nuclear that is efficient and fair. Not enough want to foot the bill for some upfront investment that will pay off in the long-run. It's all me me me.
please go educate yourself on how those evil dictators were propped up by the USA itself.

You’re wildly out of touch if you actually believe if those dictators didn’t do everything with blessings from the US..

yemen is also 100 times worse off than ukraine its not even close

Why reinvent the wheel? It's a selling point that Elasticsearch queries can be used.

If he changes the engine he might as well implement the Elasticsearch language then for the new engine.
That is good advice! I got the same from my first manager: Research and try to find the answer first before reaching out for help. I had in fact already done that in the particular situation in which he commented, but he was right in principle anyway, so no harm done.

I have a very different feeling about the OPs situation though. This is not about junior people asking too many questions or being lazy or incompetent, it is about a personality of people who are just entitled and demanding and just generally bitter assholes. Not typically seen in juniors!
Yeah, DHH's bafflement over the "mostly offline" part is probably the one aspect of his reaction I actually agree with - I don't get that part.

Not sure how being "online" matters, when DHH (as he points out at length) has had a pretty packed year of Rails progress. Maybe RailsConf has had a hard time getting in touch with him?

DHH has jumped right to the conclusion that RailsConf has some kind of problem with him. Perhaps, but if that was really the case, it seems like they would have just declined to invite him entirely? "Hey, we have a problem with this guy. Let's only let him talk for some of the keynote!"

As terrible as AppleScript is as a language, it's really nice that Apple even built a framework for apps to use to expose their functionality to external scripts -- I'm not sure today's Apple would have gone to the trouble. And now that you can use JavaScript instead of AppleScript, with a more or less standard way of translating calls between the two, scripting+automating macOS is really painless.

I do wonder why the Shortcuts app seems to be reinventing the wheel. You'd think the functionality an app exposed to AppleScript would've been automatically made available in Shortcuts, with Shortcuts being more or less a block-based interface to the same scripting environment that AppleScript uses, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Kind of an odd choice to not build off their existing work there.

I think that is natural to be in your head about the problem at hand, especially if you are busy at work it is hard to think about the bigger picture!

Curious, do you have any thoughts what senior leadership can do better to ensure we have that outlook? The only thing I have ever seen at previous companies was quarterly Town Halls where we discuss the company outlook but I never feel that is enough!
> You can achieve the same result just by talking to people to validate the idea.

Not quite: saying you'd buy something and actually forking over the cash are two very different things. I've expressed interest in many a project that—when actually made available—I decided I didn't really need after all.

Is it always practical to actually sell a not-yet-existing product? No. But do you get the same data from just talking to people? Not at all.
Importantly, those people you talk to to validate the idea should ideally be continuously consulted. So rather than:

"hey I'm thinking of making this project, do you think you'd use it?" // "Yeah sure, seems helpful I guess"

you have:

"hey, person who told me they'd use this, here's the latest update where I've implemented X feature you and some others requested, I also am trialing Y feature that I think might be cool, and I polished Z item that I saw some others were getting hung up on, do you mind trying the latest version out and letting me know what you think?"

If you're unable/unwilling to maintain those kinds of relationships/conversations over the long term, consider a PM.
> Plus think about the precedent being set here. Punishing civilians for the actions of its government is absolutely insane and will backfire badly.

This would not set up a precedent, it's almost the entirety of US foreign policy.
I'm not sure why the headline doesn't include Amadeus also. They are doing the same thing. It's a much bigger deal that the "Big 2" are dropping Aeroflot distribution at the same time.

Note that Aeroflot can still sell direct on their website or call center. I don't know how many of their sales are GDS/Amadeus and GDS/Sabre versus direct, or via other smaller GDS systems.

Edit:

"The share of online and call centre sales grew by 1.5 p. p. to 36.2% in 2019 (vs 34.7% in 2018). Channel-wise, agents remain the biggest contributor to sales with 58.5%. Own sales offices accounted for 5.3% of total sales, flat year-on-year."[1]

So this is hitting that 58.5% bucket, probably most of it. Other stories say their "PSS" support is also in jeopardy, though not decided yet. If that shuts down, the airline shuts down entirely.

Recognizing these types of interaction early is a useful skill. It does seem pretty obvious most of the time, I can tell based on the first question whether the person I'm talking to is interested in a good faith discussion or not.

Conversely, I try hard to exhaust all available documentation before I finally go to someone and ask for their assistance. I want them to know I'm serious, so they don't just blow me off. And when I do ask for help, I try to make it clear I'm just trying to clear a blocker to my understanding, not wasting their time.
> There's a tangent behavior where people are difficult because it gives them power/control.

Another common one, which I've hit a few times, is that people who are being difficult are doing it mainly to get out of doing what they've been asked to do, or at least one particular detail of it, because they see it as a chore or they are simply incapable. They hope that by badgering you for every tiny detail, you'll eventually get exasperated and do that step for them because it is quicker and easier than dealing with them as they do their best not to get it done.

Sometimes management is quite savvy to the problems this causes and when reported they deal with it. Though in one example they didn't take the matter seriously at all until I was actively interviewing for other positions, because one way or another I was going to stop having to deal with that person (and the overtime I was doing to get my own work finished having spent large chunks of time trying to stop him make the project fail). This was far from his only flaw as a colleague: having massively lied about both ability and experience on his CV (which I didn't know about at the time, I was not involved with the recruiting) being the big one that was cited officially when they got rid of him.
This is also unfair and biased, if I accepted an in-person job like 5 hours away obviously it's going to suck.

There's a happy medium -- if the commute was short I'd love it because it gets me out of the house and clears my mind. I also like the separation of space and there's no way I can afford to have a second office in my home. There's also great energy from co-workers. Obviously reasonable parameters on both sides make a difference.

I wonder what people with kids think though, I don't have that experience but I imagine as long as schools are open working at home might be better?
Maybe I'm naive but the 20% of free self directed work (ala Google) seems like an effective cure right ? It might be enough to feed a worker enough deep satisfaction to make the potential bs job acceptable again.
Why not make all the integers square blocks? Then everything fits together. It seems strange what's going on with the odd numbers. Especially adding something to 9 is even stranger. Seems arbitrary rather then instinctive.
I agree. Making it easier for their customers to manage the payment information they already voluntarily gave Microsoft is about as boneheaded of a move as I can imagine. /s
What I find scary is that if you work in a sufficiently toxic environment/culture for long enough, that very behavior that you try to fight against and change begins to seep into your everyday actions. I've seen myself go from "positive and helpful" to "apathetic and helpful" to "not caring at all" to "chippy, negative and unhelpful" before. You hope that this is something you can pickup on, but when the culture of a work environment is like that, there isn't really anyone to give you feedback and catch you from sliding down this slope. Then when you do notice, the climb back up just feels so much more overwhelming.
I’m not sure I understand how the `border` variable works.

Sets in Python are really cool when you can master them, but I do sometimes wonder if they are too clever, or just not evangelized enough.
How the conversation also could have went:

Coworker: There are no docs for [this thing you're doing].

You: Yes there is, see this wiki page and the design plan I posted in the group.

Coworker: Sorry I missed that, thanks!
It sounds like the coworkers don't care about this project, though:

> You've mentioned it multiple times in different venues with very little uptake from the rest of the team. It's pretty clear they are more concerned with other things.

I'm currently debating how many burner accounts I should make to upvote this, because this so succinctly describes the situation. Everyone wants the thing they hate gone, and hates the the other side feels the same way about something they love.

I can’t stand that.

The worst I’ve seen so far: people posting trackbacks, no comments or anything, (the sort of lack of effort that would get flagged even on stack overflow), in a massive slack channel asking for help.

I don’t get it.
Take a full time job, make a good living, but keep hacking, do not give up on your dreams, but rather use your engineering mind to pursue them differently.

I worked in SV tech for 10 years, saved a nice sum, and then left to build my own software business. You’re younger than me, you can still take that route.
But it's only putting on airs and small talk to you. Why is your perception normal and the regular one "fake"? I grew up thinking like you did, in a household of people like this, and there couldn't be anything further from the truth. It's a projection of an insecurity around being unable to control the people around you.
>rationing is more efficient tham subsidizing

You can't ration energy in a democracy while simultaneously being staunchly opposed to the development of new energy generation infrastructure. No electorate will tolerate that.

It is as pure an example of 'you're not doing your job' as I can imagine. One of the core roles of government is to guarantee food and energy security for its populace.

In german, this is sometimes referred to as 'bessermachen', i.e. this must/should have 'better made', in some arbitrary way. It is all about 'which monkey is in charge here'.
David Graeber talks about this in his book 'bullshit jobs'. He also links the rise of bullshit jobs to the rise of burnouts and other mental issues.
I have used both.
GCP is designed to cover all the edge conditions on security. AWS can do that but it is much easier to shoot yourself in the foot with AWS security. That is why you get all the stories about people leaving their S3 buckets open.
Nuclear is a lot cheaper than solar, it simply depends on the nuclear plant model. Russians are the world leaders regarding nuclear plants time to market and costs (4 years).
Should add that this sort of character may or may not be a competent engineer, so not only the competent type who makes stringent demands for perfection, but also the incompetent type who fights tooth and nail to maintain the status quo that they have a grasp on and feel empowered by.
Almost. 2.4GHz had been set aside for consumer devices long before wifi. Microwaves are essentially very powerful unlicensed transmitters. Wifi devices are also all unlicensed transmitters. So 2.4GHz devices don't use the same space despite microwaves, they use it because that space had already been given over to unlicensed devices. If not for microwave ovens we might not have wifi as it is today.

Back when people were gobbling up the spectrum, the military didn't care about 2.4GHz because of the water absorption issues. It wasn't good for communication at long distances and so it was allowed for consumer devices.
and where precisely is russia failing?

Agreed. A brilliant jerk is definitely worse than a below average good person. I can deal with lazy, I can deal with lack of skill, I can deal with lack of education. Jerks or liars, though, they're net negatives, sometimes greatly so.
Putin is no better than Hitler and nothing the Russian government says can be trusted. They only respect force, nothing else.
My last two positions have followed the exact opposite philosophy, and I prefer their take.

The general consensus at these places was that getting to the information faster is preferable. We have a team chat channel for a reason, ask their. Don't stop your search, and don't ask first thing, but after a cursory glance, ask. Then continue to search on your own. If someone knows the answer and sees the question, they should respond. If you find the answer first, update the thread and answer your own question in case it helps anyone else.

That said, I agree if the answer was easily found in a google search. That's the kind of basic info an engineer/developer should be able to answer on their own with research and self-exploration.

It's key to be able to tell quickly whether the answer/info you're looking for is likely to be a common/general piece of info or a company/industry specific piece of knowledge that might not be found widely.
There are companies that you could work for that would be win-win. Companies that are making the world better and still require talented software developers.
I've been putting some stuff on PeerTube to see how well it holds up. (Utterly boring Metaverse client content downloading performance test.[1]) I use it mostly for videos linked from forums, so there's a separation between finding and streaming. So far, no problems. The question is how long such content will stay up.

No ads. That's the big advantage over YouTube now. And it beats paying Vimeo to host obscure technical videos.

There were brilliant scientists trying and failing to grow potatoes in their back yard because food was scarce. Moving beats dying of hunger.
