If you want any substantial raises within an employer, you really need to be 'promoted' somehow - new project, more employees reporting to you, new responsibilities, etc.

MARKET VALUE - its often the case that an employee is worth more to a different employer (where they can bring their experience) than the current employer (where they have experience, but other people have the same experience and can train someone new).

SKILL SET - the employer may not need whatever skills the employee has, particularly any new skills that have been developed since being hired. If an employer judges that a role can be filled with someone with, say, 5 years of C++ experience, and they hire someone with 5 years of C++ experience, and that person stays for 8 years, that doesn't mean that the employer values and will pay for those three extra years of experience, they may prefer to loose them, and replace them with some new person with 5 years of experience. Employers like people who are minimally qualified for a position. This is why you need to use whatever new skills you have gained to be 'promoted' or find a new role (internally or externally), you can't expect an employer to start wanting new skills and experience in the same role that they didn't originally hire for.

HISTORY - this depends a lot on other people in the organization. Did you learn all the 'historical and legacy knowledge' from senior management / founders who are still there? In that case, they can teach that to someone else, just like they taught it to you. This is only valuable if those people leave and you are now the only person with the knowledge, otherwise you can never have more value than the original people that taught you, according to this metric.

Basically, if you want to earn more, you need to find ways to move into new, better jobs / employers, you can't try to turn your current position into a higher paying one.

There are some other metrics that are important too:

TEAMWORK - Does the employee work well in a team, share work, help others be productive?

LEADERSHIP - Is the employee showing leadership, and a potential replacement for any management employees that leave?

NETWORK - Does this employee have contacts across the organization, and bring people together? Have they referred people in their network to join the company, become clients or vendors?
And yet... that question got an appropriate and helpful response:

This is blocked because the primary author is not available to help due to geopolitical issues.

Even if it is just some lazy person who wants stuff done (and frankly - I think that attitude is fairly defeatist - you have no idea who that person is) why are you letting them occupy your headspace if that's what you think?

Basically - even if they are lazy, you making the assumption makes you an asshole. Worse - it makes you less effective, because you take a possible volunteer and snub them immediately. Between the two - I'm much more annoyed by your behavior than theirs.
What kind of company is it?

• A startup can crash

• A fee for service company focusing on dev will probably crash

• An established company where development is just done for internal things. Can they pause feature requests and focus on maintenance for a bit? I'm not saying it may not come to having to hire people and talks need to start, but did they even think about the devs? What have they been doing in regards to their devs? Any help?

IMO, it's just the way it's being handled. They have their people fighting for their lives. Here's what looks like a manager or lead not being able to work with all the stress around it. And all that upper management sees is, fill in the chair.
>We see people here complain every single day about unilateral action taken by Google and the like.

While that's true to some extent, I don't find that to be the case in this specific area (ie. trust store and/or encryption). Are the browser vendors unfairly applying rules (ie. favoring incumbents)? Are their requirements too arduous? Are they not revoking bad CAs? It's not clear what this regulation is supposed to solve.
Will you add an Electron version? A browser-based HTTP client is nearly useless for me because of CORS. I couldn't come up with any interesting internal endpoints to even test this with.

Including a very saddening insight that the current children will face a bleak future, while people aged 55 (read: the power in power) will not experience the worst.

>what is our children’s future going to look like, if we do not limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial temperature? Based on the Working Group II assessment, we know that global warming is already changing much of the world as we know it. Its impacts will intensify in the coming decades with profound implications for all aspects of human life around the world. Our food and water supplies, our cities, infrastructure and economies as well as our health and well-being will be affected.

>For example: children aged ten or younger in the year 2020 are projected to experience a nearly four-fold increase in extreme events under 1.5°C of global warming by 2100, and a five-fold increase under 3°C warming. Such increases in exposure would not be experienced by a person aged 55 in the year 2020 in their remaining lifetime under any warming scenario.
Per capita I believe they do, total amount the US has about 50% more capacity(which is a shame given how much bigger we are than France). we should have a lot more if we were serious about global warming.

> You think you can outsmart the recipe and chop the peppers while the onions are cooking. [...] The bell peppers need to make it into the skillet by the 3 minute mark after the onions are in or else the dish is ruined.

How so? Just move the skillet from the heat and let the onions sit there for as long as it takes to chop the bell peppers. If anything, they will be more aromatic.
Also a Canadian who was driving a 12 year old Mazda 6. Bought a Kia Niro EV in Sept 2020. Was maybe a bit premature but the charging network in Ontario at least is pretty decent. I've had a 30 amp charger installed at home, and I've managed to do Toronto->Ottawa->Toronto in a single day without much issue. The lack of government rebates is really annoying right now, but I don't think the demand is any less. There were only 3 Kia dealerships in Toronto dealing with EVs and they each brought in a single Niro EV per week. Made negotiating on price kind of hard (though not impossible).

That said, I'm with the other people, when your current car is no longer worth it, that's when the right time to get a new car is, and if your car usage lines up well with EVs, it's a great time to transition.
Phew, as long as we're only having to worry about HNers. That's gotta be what, a whole 1% of the driving population? Seriously, why is an HNer filter being applied?

I'm not a lawyer, only someone who has a few utility patents. My opinion so far is that my patents are not particularly innovative, but I assume there's a numbers game to it for corp attorneys which encourages them to file these.

Also, afaik the more specific the patent (must have battery, screen, and connect A and B with wires), the less useful it is. So if the independent claims at the end of the patent come with a lot of caveats, they are less and less easy to find targets for enforcement.
The Great European Firewall is being built it seems. This is not great for people that discover the truth by objectively assessing the narratives and facts from both (or more) sides of a conflict.

It's not an either or, europe should do everything and do it now, do solar, do wind, do tidal, do nuclear, do everything and do it now to get off Russian gas.
France's renewable story has also been a disaster, 120 billions euros invested (half of the total cost of the whole nuclear grid (!) ) for 5% of the electricity production. Even Flamanville isn't as bad as that, there's hope it'll be good for future plants, that was just completely wasted.

This is horrifying to me but probably for a different reason. I'm tired of the general population being treated as pawns in this global game of empire. These people should not be risking their life. Our leaders screwed up and now citizens pay the price.

This war did not start 2 weeks ago. It is not the result of 1 man's actions. It's been going on for years but now it spilled into kinetic warfare. We are hardly any better than the kings and queens of yesterday, just look at all the actions being taken from western powers without any citizen input or democratic process.

Our opinions are being shaped on this conflict by our media, even on hacker news - people should be weary of all information they read on here regarding this conflict. People should try hard not to get swept up in tribal narratives and see the world for what it is.

In my opinion, the current system looks like its out of control and it's only going to lead to escalation. It almost certainly will lead to more nuclear proliferation. Confrontation with nuclear opponents need to be more cautious.
Posting account is suspicious as it was created at the time of the comment for the comment and the username has no other trace on the internet. Very suspect, impossible to prove of course though.

I'm getting 6 minutes between comment and reply though, not seconds, and unless the developer was actively fighting they'd still be getting email notifications to their phone but unlikely to be at sitting at home patching Vue. This part in itself doesn't scream suspect, just the catalyst.

Ask HN: Just database over the internet as the only backend?
This might seem a silly approach but in context of thinking about typical SaaS applications, I came across this postgrest which offers RESTful access to Postgres. Now one can build application to just that REST abstraction is one way to go about it instead of going through ORMs. Fair enough.

But taking it to further, just exposing raw Postgres sockets with TLS + row level security policies what would be the pros and cons of such an approach?

Main that I can think of:

1. Business logic would be all in clients (Flutter/React[Native] et al) hence updates would require updating those clients.

2. Database schema would have to be versioned and clients will have to check if they can continue with the version right now in production or exit with error message asking for an update.

3. Infrastructure wise, you'll just be running vanilla Postgres and that's it, there's no backend.

4. You would have NO API, you'd just have database.

5. For adding new parties, you'll be actually adding real Postgres users (or via some LDAP etc)

6. Workers? Background processing? That means inserting records into certain tables, picked up by processes on server side and computing results feeding back to the database.

Just seeking collective wisdom/experiences/opinions/stories on the subject if someone has tried this or what are other corner cases that might come up assuming that in every language there’s performant, good enough database driver (Postgres wire protocol) is available including in browsers (via Webassembly or without)

Thoughts?

It's even more like that, because age old code (law) gets repurposed and reused and something nobody would even bother trying becomes practical.

And in both cases the correct solution is fixing the law (code) but often that opens a whole new can of worms ...

Can you please make your substantive points without fulminating and calling names? It sounds like you know something about this topic, but if you post in this way, none of us get to benefit from what you know. It would be much better to share real information and leave out the putdowns, so the rest of us can learn.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30500697 it's clear that you actually could do this - why not write something about your experience? It would be interesting.

Meanwhile from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30501144 ("oh fuck off"), all we're going to get is a jammed discussion that's high on indignation and low on information. This doesn't do anyone any good, and it contributes to destroying this place, which is fragile (particularly right now).

The thing to understand is that discussions on a large, open forum like HN simply go straight to the toilet when people start telling each other to fuck off (and I'm not saying you weren't provoked). Smaller technical forums sometimes have a pugnacious culture that can survive this kind of thing and actually get more interesting as people challenge one another, etc., but all that goes out the window when the commenting population is as large as it is here. All it does is open the floodgates for the next round of comments which will be even more nasty and also don't actually know anything. This is not in any of our interests.

The rules on HN are designed to help interesting discussion survive such conditions. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking that to heart, we'd be grateful.

If anyone is interested in a more in-depth explanation, here is a long exchange I had with another user last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27161491. The point is that the rules on HN aren't trying to solve a moral problem (don't say bad things) but rather an optimization problem (how to sustain an internet forum that doesn't suck). I think that understanding this can make them seem less smarmy. At least I hope it can.
It amazes me that we have regular, comprehensive reports showing that almost every ecosystem and natural process we depend on will collapse by the end of the century and most will be functionally degraded in less than twenty years, no one even seriously disputes them any more, and still the collective action needed to avoid this is non-existent or lip service. It's like the whole human race is waiting until the night before the project is due - at which point it will of course be too late.

Maybe the problem with the "green" nuclear energy is that we still do not have a final waste site for it. This stuff may not be much in terms of size, but it is bad for hundreds of thousands of years and can contaminate a lot of water.

> I mean, what's the point of a "nuclear waste free Earth" if our civilization collapses due to climate change?

That is a bit panic-fuelled and frankly even religious, while completely ignoring the immediate threat of radiation, which cannot be reversed for hundreds of thousands of years.

PS.: Climate change is going to happen whatever we do. This happened even before we existed.

Supply chain risk management. There's no black box from which steering wheels emerge. You send people to their factories, you check their finances, you look into their history with regulatory agencies, you examine their leadership, you look at their supplier relationships. The place I work has a hundred folks that do nothing but risk and cybersecurity audits of our vendors and suppliers. It's a whole thing.

It's obviously not perfect and can get caught up in systemic issues like a pandemic, but as mentioned in a sibling comment it's still cheaper than the alternatives.
In our production the official language of our late shift is basically Russian (working in Germany). Nobody of them has any influence on the politics of Russia so I don't know what I would even ask. They don't have to justify themselves of course.

> It seems like retaining the information about all possible universes is kind of nonsensical; the volume of data is just too large.

Do you have to retain all the information? Perhaps a set of quantum events is more like a parameter into a function, and the return value is the universe state corresponding to that history. Yeah there's magical black box handwaving going on there but the point is when we literally have no idea, it's not entirely impossible that the quantum multiverse is sparsely populated and lazy loaded with nothing 'computed' into existence until it has to be.

EDIT: Mind, I'm not saying that it is this way. The validity of my proposal isn't the point. The point is that dismissing Many Worlds on the grounds of "too much information" involves assuming a lot of things we don't actually know.

Another is baiting people into "pairing" if they aren't going fast enough or operating with enough velocity. This generally entails just giving someone the solution, prevents them from learning and also generally feels demoting. The weirdest red flag I've encountered is a prior employer that got mad and though I was "misdirected" when I was digging into their code and looking into problems slightly outside of the tickets they gave me.
