For others interested in deploying like this, this approach sounds exactly like what krops does. Krops is similar to Morph, except it does the derivative building on the remote host.

It is very simple and works great. Deploying from macOS to NixOS is possible as well.

So what does your technology stack look like?
It's the same CPU with a different core distribution.
Although we still haven't created a fully automated migration, this doesn't have to be a huge take, but it will be mainly be up to the way your app is integrated with Firebase and how coupled the two are.

For migrating you'll have to do two things, migrate your data and replace your Firebase API calls. Appwrite provides both REST and Realtime (WebSocket) APIs that should be replaced with any Firebase calls in your app. You can migrate your Firebase data to Appwrite by using the Appwrite Server SDK in one of your favorite languages (https://appwrite.io/docs/sdks).
Great idea. We'll look into it. :-)
Refactoring is still hard and awfully manual. And like all dynamic languages, a wrong key (was it :user or :users or :username or :user_name?) will be a PITA to find.
I think you can subscribe and not pay, so game the subscriber count.

My tenant in the UK does not own the flat they occupy; my landlord in Berlin does own the flat I occupy. There are rules to say that landlords can’t just enter on a whim, and rent is a very common way to occupy a property.
Logged in just to upvote this and largely agree with you. Verilog/VHDL are stuck at the 1980s coding paradigm level, as if the industry grabbed the first working solution for automated hardware developement and has clung on to it.

> The problem is, it is hard, if not downright impossible, to get the industry to change.

Yes. I don't think it will until either, say, Intel does it by CEO fiat, like the Amazon memo, or a startup from outside somehow dominates the industry by using a different technology.

(I have worked both sides of this, a chip design startup that was bought by Cadence, and a medium size fabless semi company)

> I've gotten so many bogus replies that just show that the engineer has no idea what higher order functional programming with advanced type system is on any level, and I don't blame them, but this makes discussions extremely tiring.

"A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"

(I'm joking, but this is an us problem and not a them problem, you can't evangelize things to people that they don't understand, and you have to reach them where they are. Yes, this is very hard work)

However one thing that us software types may not appreciate is that all the weird imperative stuff in Verilog that isn't synthesizable probably gets used in more lines of code than the synthesizable subset - because testbenches are absolutely critical to shipping hardware.

The hardware industry can't benefit from rapid iteration because every iteration costs a mask set.
The "glued together" may be a little overstated. Their "Mega-City" demoed in 2019 is available to download and run as a standard unity project. I haven't looked at any of the code, but the fact that it runs on a mainline version of unity and not some forked, hacked together version should count for something.
> Are you claiming that this NFT, which everybody knows passed the hands of Shaq, will be worthless in the future?

That's very likely, yes. It's just some digital trading card that he once owned. It's nothing in comparison to an artifact like a shirt from a game or even an autograph. And what are those worth? Much much less than what this URL was passed around for between rich crypto wash pumping bros.
That's not distributed then (OP was asking about distributed services without containers).
If I'm not mistaken, the Raspberry Pi was meant to be an affordable device for educational purposes. Now bots are buying them, making them scarce, making them less affordable.

Could licensing help here? What if the Raspberry Pi Foundation would sell devices with a license that says you can't sell it for more than a certain price, and you can only sell it / give it away under the same license?
The argument may sound weird because Saudi war in Yemen has been more destructive than war in Ukraine.

International relations and geopolitics is de facto 90% amoral self interest. The language used to justify actions is very moral. This creates huge cognitive dissonance unless you can acknowledge the situation.

Ukraine matters more to the West than Yemen and Saudis are less a threat to the West, so it's understandable that and Saudis are punished for backing Russia and not other way around.
The CSO is implying that the super user was able to get into the system but did not have access to sensitive data, or at least did not exfiltrate that data. It's possible if their defenses are layered enough. The security model is defense in depth, rather than the "moat" concept of hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Micro-breaches are expected; it's about detecting and mitigating them. I'm not saying the CSO is telling the truth, but that's how you reconcile someone having access to the system without accessing sensitive data.
Great idea and congrats on the launch!
I would love to see you compare mattresses. It seems that this entire industry is a few factories with completely different pricing just for the brand name.
It's remarkably strange that someone who appears to be blogging semi-professionally thinks it's reasonable to publish an article of this sort without a date attached.

Maybe Verilog doesn't change much, but statements like "Commercial vendors are mostly moving in the other direction" and "There have been a number of attempts [...] but they've all fizzled out" are date-sensitive.
No you don't. I ride a Kwiggle every day through the woods. It's much more stable than it looks. :-)
What does "at scale" mean? The stage at which distributed systems become absolutely necessary depends strongly on the technical culture and the expertise of the engineering team. Unless you are an absolutely giant vendor, you probably don't need such a stack to begin with.

There's a guy on Reddit who restores old photographs in an interesting way. He says he finds bits and pieces in recent stock images, that he cuts and pastes and adjusts until it looks perfect. So it's a kind of deepfake HI (vs. AI).

Here's an example of his work: https://i.redd.it/eeoz0hvvwvo81.png

Maybe not your target market ATM -- although this talent could be used to make very convincing fake images.
Companies can only get away with this crap because consumers are so still so darn ignorant. I think most people won't accept a car that prevents you from changing your own oil or replacing your own wiper fluid, so it always boggles my mind that so many are still buying computers that lock users out of the firmware and boot process.

A Switch is just a toy anyways. Buy a different toy.
Ask HN: What Happened to the Soylent Buzz?
A few years ago, Soylent, and related local copies, were given a lot of press and were lauded as the future of eating.

Techies loved them, there were articles about Soylent all over HN. Soylent itself got backing by Alphabet and Anderseen Horowitz.

I haven't heard about Soylent that much lately, however, and the buzz (or hype?) seemed like it died off.

Reading an article on Yahoo! about them, it seems like they pivoted recently, with CEO from Kraft. Which made the company profitable for the first time.

Sorry but I don't even undstand what that would mean. I can understand not being a jerk or insulting someone when voicing an opinion but to me this sounds like you want people to only voice opinions in a docile way that acknowledges all the other positions as just as valid. You can be genuine, kind and nuanced and have a firm position I think. Not being a jerk is just half of the equation, the other half is if people are even receptive to discussion.
Standard fresh grad hire stressing over that first mistake
They also attacked at least a newspaper in Portugal ( expresso.pt) and some government agencies.
For me, the stdlib docs isn't lacking in material, but it is hard to navigate. I think that is partly because it mixes different types of documentations together (tutorial, reference, and changelog). They should split each module's docs into two pages: a tutorial with examples of the most common use-case of the module, and a reference listing all of the classes, methods, etc. of the module.

Also, the built-in types are documented in one page, going from boolean to sequence types and even type annotations. Every Ctrl + F gives me 20 different results, which is annoying as hell.
That's what they want you to believe. The truth is, to keep the influx of money into the crypto-sphere flowing, you need more people to invest money. This gets harder though, because most people who really care about crypto already invested.

There are only so many monkeys you can attract.

NFT is a solution to this problem: You promise a high return of investment for additional monkeys to invest.

This keeps on going until the whole thing crashes down burning. Those who invested first and really care already pulled out their share. The monkeys will suffer though.
But you are not answering the question of my parent and myself; you can sell your house or land or whatever on the p2p market, but if the government doesn't allow you to sell your house or land, then that's that. You got money, the new owner got some digital snippet of something they now not own. Which makes it centralised; no different than it is now but with far more risks (abused smart contracts stealing the money for your house) and no recourse. So the problem is; what is exactly the decentralised advantage of this when you still need the same courts etc. Sure, no banks IFF the seller takes crypto and if the country in question is crypto friendly etc, but AML laws will kick in anyway. So I see the theory for having a house NFT and everyone singing and dancing the decentral dance, but in reality, this won't work or it will be exactly the same as any house deed transfer. I rather would see a gov that has my certified public key and I can sign from my mobile app to sell my house with one click and a notary handling it all without any parties having to rock up to some office etc. Blockchain fixes that , but no differently in UX (I think and I don't hear anything different) but far more inefficiently (and risky as there is no rollback) than what we can do with some cryptography and a php crud app?

Edit: in short, I would love to talk to a proponent of blockchain who has a more compelling story than 'transfer value'. I mean; I see the case for transferring money to and from warzones etc; if your gov does not allow you to use your money or doesn't allow you to buy a more stable currency than your country has, then this is a means, if kept on chain, for you to have liquidity.
One thing I don't quite understand about using Haskell for circuit design is that at a first glance it also seems like pure functional programming has an impedance mismatch with what the circuitry physically does. (For reference, I've programmed in Haskell extensively before.)

For example, much of Haskell directly or indirectly relies on recursion -- but this nearly nonsense when talking about silicon! There's no call stack, for one! More importantly, any algorithm requiring repeated operations like this would be inherently inefficient and undesirable in a design space where latency matters.

I have a feeling that one reason some of these alternatives haven't "taken off" and swept away the legacy languages is because they're not really that ideal either. [1]

Perhaps there's an ideal "concurrent data processing" programming paradigm waiting to be discovered that is neither like procedural languages nor pure functional languages.

[1] This is purely my uninformed layman perspective, of course. I'd love to be corrected by people who've worked in the field.
>It seems like this is the next step of social networking

Many years ago I was playing Runescape and a friend quipped that MMOs are basically Myspace with a game attached to it. And I think he was right. MMOs live and die by the network effect. Runescape had 150 million user accounts something like a decade ago, if not even before that. I'm sure World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, and League of Legends had at least comparable numbers.

I think if this were the next step of social networking, then it would have already happened. Perhaps it already did? We just call them gaming communities. If that's the case, then video games have created competing social networks that exist at the same time and aren't just being eaten by the biggest one.

Yes, this is indeed what is irritating, as though Ukraine isn't a sovereign entity that has the ability to make up it's own mind about what it wants. Ukrainian people are the only party that should have a say in any of that. Neither Russia nor the United States have a legitimate interest there other than what the Ukrainians are willing to let them have.
The real question would be what can be done to bring dating back offline?

At the end of the day, humans act in their best interest within their environment, and products adapt to the market.

We can blame apps or people using them all we want, but this isn't going to change anyone's incentives a whole lot, especially in a world in which it's increasingly harder to connect offline.

And even let's say we propose a good solution - which individual or company is it going to be profitable enough for to be worth the work to implement it?

I'd be very interested in your take on the powell memo.

It makes exactly the same points (young liberals from Yale undermining American society etc.) but its written 50 years ago, when American business was pumping lead into the air and painting houses with it, while other nations had already phased it out. And complains that no one listens to businessmen, and politics only cares about the environment and consumer safety.

This was written by a supreme court judge (who incidentally voted for Roe Vs Wade because his secretary nearly died from a backstreet abortion) so no dummy, yet his points seem ridiculous to us now. What leads you to think you're not making the same mistakes? Especially as you seem to acknowledge that in the past things were too much on the conservative side and it's kids today that are taking it too far.
But then the receipt is even less representative of the underlying thing you’ve gone and bought in opensea or whatever. Like, it’s not even pointing to the same bits on the same platter somewhere that’s meant to be so special.

Don’t get me wrong, I get that it’s not meant to be a data backup and it can be totally disassociated from the ‘thing’ - but setting that concept up and just being a bit more aware of what you are actually getting might make some people a bit more hesitant to buy a digital receipt with a url that may or may not 404 in the future. Great, you’ve got a receipt - for something that potentially millions of people also have a copy of. What makes your receipt at that point, if/when the underlying disappears, worth anything?

There are countless variations of this in cars. Changing a fuel pump or ignition control module or sometimes even disconnecting a battery activates 'anti theft' features in many cars and companies frequently use the DMCA to prevent repair and maintenance without $10k/year software licenses.

> Humans are lazy. They'll go with the #1 option, even if it means building a centralized monopoly.

Am I lazy because I don't forge spare parts for my car and install them myself? No. I leave this to the huge, rich, established company that manufactured my car, and their contractors. Why? Because the only times I ever repaired anything in a car, was in videogames. And I want to be sure that the thing that I entrust my safety to while traveling, is in excellent working order.

For the same reason, most people don't setup their own mail servers, don't setup their own racks to run webapps, invent their own currencies, grow their own food, produce their own electricity, or dig wells.

Our society runs on a huge variety of systems, most of which are too complex individually for any single human to fully understand/make/maintain on his own. Centralization is not a bad thing to be avoided, it's an inevitable consequence of technological development.
Don't take any of it seriously at all. Part of HR process is sometimes
to "be seen" to be giving feedback. This isn't like college where
you're being marked on your presentation.

In reality someone gets tasked with the job of basically making stuff
up, or sending out stock replies with the same words to everyone. If
you were to take it to heart and try to change you'd become a
perpetually unhappy and frustrated "pleaser".

I've interviewed many dozens of people and all one can really say is
you know why you picked the one who was right. Rejection feedback is
awkward for everyone, which is why so many firms just ghost you after
the meeting.

I also think the sibling comment is very wise. Don't apply to
companies whose values you disagree with. A successful interview
should not be a deceptive act to break-in behind enemy lines, it
should be like two lovers meeting for the first time. :)
Should “cancel” be a button or a link?
I would love to be wrong but I dont think DIMM will be a thing on Mac any more. Not only does it not make economical sense for Apple with additional DDR5 memory controller support and testing, they can now also charge substantial premium for memory.
> Dishonesty requires custom-made software.

This is the bit I don't understand. A block is a set of transaction information which is chosen by the miner/staker. What's stopping them from just making it up? It will still be a valid transaction.
> Are you claiming that this NFT, which everybody knows passed the hands of Shaq, will be worthless in the future?

In this case, absolutely. https://checkmynft.com/?address=0x60e4d786628fea6478f785a6d7... ("Asset Strength: Poor")

The NFT is a simple link to an URL hosted at boredapeyachtclub.com. Even if the owner backs up the image on IPFS, the NFT won't point to the IPFS backup; the NFT will always immutably point to BAYC's website.

Inevitably, BAYC will go down, and when it does, the NFT will be a receipt pointing to nothing.

("But it's a receipt to nothing that Shaq once held!" … yeahhh, sure.)
1) would be just as expensive if taxed properly, so not cheaper just illegal

2) immutable is a pretty shitty property for some of those assets, also its a pretty negative turn of society to go and try and make fungible products like music listening into private non fungible ownable assets

3) The middle man is usually there for a number of reasons. Same way exchanges showed up almost immidietly after crypto, you would also have crypto banks to handle loans etc. Add the financial constraints the goverment needs, for lawful contracts to be enforceable and now you just have a more expensive, volatile and environmentally destructive banking system.

Like it seems most of the ideas of things "crypto works for" is just what banks used to do before regulation was added. And the regulation is there for a reason, for every extra fee you pay to do cross border money transfer, some money is not being laundered. For every notary you pay to get a deed in a house or doctor to check your health data, some will or some medical anomaly gets corrected. For every fee you pay in a loan someone elses gets secured and has no extortionate shark loan fees.

With crypto right now you lose all that protection in exchange for a slow, expensive gas fees, environmentally destructive proofs of work and absolutely no legal protection if you get scammed in the end. Its an extremely silly proposition and I am not surprised it is being peddled by the likes of Jordan Belfort because he seems to like to do old medieval scams on new targets.

True, I'm not a sys-admin. But I do monitor a few k8s clusters.

Most automated tasks I will write jobs for in Rust (as mentioned, it's a language I and others know well). That's what the rest our company tends to agree with.

I don't know anyone in our tech stack that makes grand use of bash to admin our systems. We're very strict that everything is in K8s. No ssh access to nodes.

Only really CI uses bash and I'd rather it didn't
> I mean if someone who is "clearly inexperienced" has the capacity to do all that, we are so fucked.

I don’t know whether or not these folks are inexperienced, but it’s hard to overstate how truly bad software is, these days. Many software developers are inexperienced, and the entire industry is built like a house of cards.

The bar is very, very low, and over reliance on dependencies seems to be something that programmers actually boast about. Another point of pride seems to be deliberately ignoring experience and a careful approach (“Move fast and break things”).

But there’s certainly good money in being a security consultant. Lots of low-hanging fruit. That industry is growing like a weed.

And how do you want to prove that the copy you made had the same content that was stored behind the URL? What if the host changes the content behind that URL to something completely different. No one can prove that it's actually the thing you copied that was behind this NFT. It's really worthless in my eyes.
