Stateful databases or disposable api servers?

Disposable API servers you can eliminate ssh access and the like. Containers generally don't run sshd, but they do still often have kubectl/dockerrun if you absolutely need to.

SSM sucks on a certain level because the output is capped at ?1MB? I think and you need to poll S3 to use it.

Salt daemon polls fine.

As you kind of alluded to, well, you can do SSM to "port knock" or simply do a change to a secgrp to flip on the ssh access, and then flip it off afterward.

I find Salt/Ansible/k8s too big, you can't "step through" to debug your orchestrations. I would categorize them as "heavyweight". SSH is a good substrate for everything else, including adhoc stuff.

Anything that can be run off a laptop can be run off an admin server. Remotely debugged. I love it. With the heavyweight stuff there is too much trial and error: try recipe, it craps, guess what's wrong, it craps, guess again, it craps.

The stuff I use actually doesn't require SSH. As long as you can deliver a command and get the output, I can use SSH, SSM (with the crappy limitations but its GREAT for stuff in China), kubectl, salt, dockerrun, teleport (until the token runs out), or combo ssh-to-bastion then do other stuff.
Not sure how I didn't know there was already a defined algorithm for parsing HTML.

I may try implementing that at some point - I've always been interested, but also got burned out as soon as I tried to work out a viable algorithm.

You're understanding of biology is rather outdated. There are several X & Y chromosomal variations that are rather common but frequently undiagnosed. The X & Y Variations include 47, XXY OR Klinefelter Syndrome, 47, XYY (Jacob’s Syndrome) , 47, XXX (Triple X). There are also several variant disorders which include Tetrasomy X, Pentasomy X, 49, XXXX, 48, XXXY, 48, XXYY, and 49, XXXXY. So no, it's not quite simple.
Yes, I fully understand the context and that's why I mentioned as it could be used to track us rather than was used to track us in the first place.
Providing DNS over HTTPS can be deemed as goodwill as it indeed make it easier for some of the people. But making it default is something questionable, might be I remembered it wrong though. Pointing to Cloudflare does not make it any better as: 1. It can be changed anytime in the future and for most if not all users, they can hardly tell if there were changes to their DNS settings. 2. As end users, we have no idea what's the deal behind the scene between Mozilla and Cloudflare, and what was Cloudflare doing with the data collected. I might have worried too much about it for now. But at least, such move broke the design principle as DNS was never meant to be concerns at application level.

There's an incredibly wide range of "bad environment" - where's the line (and who decides where it is)? Should only people living in the first world get to have children?
Right, but you only have aggregates here moving the needle. For instance, your experience is that intervention A leads to >90% mobility elbow post-surgery in 90% of patients and intervention B leads to 80% mobility in 90% of patients.

What epistemological techniques do you use to distinguish intervention A from intervention B and how do you distinguish your experience from the paper that shows the opposite result?

The number of variables are large: including, distressingly, your skill at technique A and technique B. Is the difference in the outcome merely your lack of skill in one? Is the difference merely the lack of skill of the guys observed by the paper?

My parents are also experienced surgeons and the normalizing method they use is to share their findings with fellow surgeons. Patients where they work are much more amenable to having photographs of their surgeries used as discussion material.

Medical science is a primitive science and it is practised with primitive statistics, so most evidence is just missing. Lots of surgical techniques are discussed based on too little evidence with massive true error bars.

The Wikimedia Foundation is solely a charity and makes it's money from donations. The Mozilla Corporation makes it's money from the contracts the executives negotiate. None of the board members of the Mozilla Foundation, the nonprofit that owns the corporation, receive any salary from the Foundation.

They're not really comparable organizations. The corporate comparisons you started with were closer comparison, though Mozilla has some unique circumstances.
I'm pretty than happy with self-hosted Bitwarden. It isn't perfect, but it works well enough.
I guess the states aren’t so united. Federal Texas are for federal uses which can include state ones.
> Instacart aims to boost recruiting and retention efforts by aligning new equity awards for new hires and existing employees with the updated valuation. The decision comes as the company navigates souring investor sentiment in technology companies across private and public markets.

Can somebody eli5 this? How does decreasing valuation help here?
I think you're confusing science with supply-side economics.
And I was today years old (not much younger than you were)
> For every right, before it was created, it didn't exist.

What if people's basic rights weren't "created" by anyone? What if they just have always existed? Or at least have existed at least as long as human societies have?

This is pretty much the view the Founders of the US had. They did not view the Constitution as creating rights but as acknowledging that people already have certain rights and requiring the government to respect them.

> This seems tautological.

I think you need to expand your thinking. See above.

I don't have anything further of substance to add to the discussion at this point.
Not really. You can't compare it to bluechips. It's down like all the other IPOs that went crazy at the peak of liquidity driven euphoria. Those all-time high were not based on fundamentals.
Scientists Capture Best Images yet of Unexplained Ring Structures in Space
It sucks. I have all but stopped talking about any issues. My opinions are no longer wanted or valued in society. Anything someone disagrees with instead of talking about it’s “you are privileged so of course your opinion is wrong”.
1Password is like everyone else who sells out. I bought their stuff before they had subscriptions, and now that they have subscriptions, they are crippling the product so that you have to pay up or ship out. When the time comes I’m going to Bitwarden.
> offline web API documentation would make more sense as a one-time purchase

Stingy me would just wget download the entire documentation if I anticipate that I might go offline.

Can't say I'll ever be okay with paying for documentation; I don't want that to catch on.
Anyone using GitHub as a public key repository? I found it very convenient to set up a cron job that pulls https://github.com/USERNAME.keys into authorized_keys and SSH from any client that has GitHub access.
Because 1PW has managed to place themselves on the “wrong” side of multiple issues that the HN user base is passionate about in a kind of piss off nerds speedrun.

Transitioning to subscriberware + converting your beloved native apps to Electron + raising a bunch of money so you can abandon your loyal users to chase the enterprise market is a trifecta that is catnip for this site’s front page.
I've tried that, and besides it being a highly inconvenient workaround, it doesn't work on any of my machines.
I've seen all 4 combinations of "looks like" vs "is actually" {button,static text} on a web app I was once forced to use. Some of the plain text was actually a clickable button (with NO hover effect), and some of the "buttons" (or more precisely, short actionable text with a rectangle around it) were actually just labels. Imagine the word "Order" presented in both styles, and my astonishment when I figured out which one I actually had to click.
There are plenty of guys that don't want to have kids and hate using condoms. This could be an option.
Exactly. Fuck subscriptions. Give me an annual or a multi-annual pass at once.

I bought a standalone package of 1Password at one point in the past and they completely screwed me by locking to an

arcane version of the app which none of today's browser extensions support.

Happy that I bought into Bitwarden at a really low cost of 10 bucks per year which was a no-brainer to me.
You’re not wrong but that’s exactly my problem: this isn’t something for the Feds to subsidize. They need to get out of the business of subsidizing industry.
> This is also true for X.509, there is exactly zero reason to generate new key (if it was not compromised) or even new CSR for certificate renewal.

It might make sense to regenerate the private key on each certificate renewal if the private keys are kept unencrypted, as they often are in the X.509 scenario. If the keys are encrypted and if your web server manages to get the password to decrypt that key each and every time it serves a request, then yeah, I don't see the point of regenerating the private key on certificate renewal.
> This incentive structure distorts research. What to do about it? I'm not exactly sure but having university administrations who see research as a means to make money, rather than an end in itself, is not the way.

A lot of the reasons of this distortion is due to the lack of funding from government in state universities which keeps going down as the cost of running a university keeps going up. Because of the rising costs, things get pushed to extremes and the accountants/administrators are put between a rock and a hard place.

Depending on the university in question, it might not be just about "making money" but just not shutting the university down and trying to swim upstream in a never-ending battle.
I dont think it is a lie if everyone’s truth is “equal” but I also dont think my preferences should be able to control others speech, even though I personally don’t mind using preferred pronouns. Even if offense was intended, you don’t tend to get jail time for insulting someone.
Zustand looks so nice. I wanted to create my own state management library just for fun and spent a while brainstorming it and then ran into Zustand which basically does exactly what I wanted (but has presumably been developed by people who know what they're doing_

You were absolutely right about that. The catch is that for fair bits of ordinary users, they might even be struggling using Windows, and maintaining a VM under Linux would be a huge undertaking. Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying Linux is not good but rather than it's still fair bit of work to be done for ordinary users. I used Windows for almost two decades now, and I'm now at the verge to ditch Windows myself...
Interesting. Is Stripe itself not available or just this chargeback protection? Mind sharing what type of business?
Given most pandemic growth stocks (ex: zoom, peloton) are down so much nobody really believes that instacart is worth what they raised at the height of the pandemic? Helps with new hires, but existing hires will need large refreshers
Then let them enjoy their broken interface, and, yunno, let people fix it when it breaks. Like how Open Source works.
I think I got that "as much as the rest of the body" from the Aptera newsfeeds. The Aptera claims some ridiculous efficiencies so who knows.
Huh. I never understood the terminology "radio button", and I have no memory of noticing such a thing in a car. But it could easily have been there; why would I have cared?

I did have a tape player with buttons (play / rewind / stop / etc) that, when pushed, unpushed the other buttons. So I have a mental model for buttons of that kind. But I've never associated them with a radio.

Also, I've never associated the radio selector HTML element with a button (HTML or otherwise). Buttons are about triggering effects. But radio selectors are about selecting something; they have more in common with checkboxes.
Please use keepass.
I used Bitwarden when I ran into issues with 1Password versions between Windows and OSX.

I think I used Bitwarden for a week before I decided to pay as the experience was above and beyond what I had with 1Password.

Think I've had it 3 years now.
Vastly increase the size and scope and eligibility of SNAP. I mean these things are not hard to solve, just hard to pass politically. Remember, increasing the Child Tax Credit, it's refundability, and sending those payments as monthly distributions nearly halved child poverty. The answer is send people money.
I know a dot-net developer who is a freelancer, he runs 30+ sites from his own dedicated server, not just static sites but ecommerce too. Today with simple setups of Go + Nginx you can go so far. Why even use docker/kubernettes if you are not really deploying to N servers.
Have people here used Chewy? I’m kind of amazed at their customer service. It’s SO good. You can reach a person via phone or chat, they are all technically savvy and extremely helpful. And fast. I’ve never spent more than a few minutes on the phone with them and have always been thoroughly satisfied.
I wish a browser didn't exist because my pet feature is not implemented. I wish to give google full control over all browser market share, so they can increase the size of their moat such that no new entrants could ever hope to compete.

There's no way I'll regret that decision
Interesting concept, but I would add keyboard shortcuts (underlined items) to the menu to make it more of a reminder than be forced to use the mouse all the time.

For the Bay Area developer, sure.

For a South American developer, 10 dollars is about three meals.
I would say hormone blockers in prepubescent teens without parental consent is not treading lightly.

The de-transition community on reddit and Twitter can more concretely explain and show the harm being done under the desire to be blindly supportive and affirming.
The community aspect of this kind of place is very attractive, but I find the actual photos fairly off-putting. It's very suburban-sprawl-looking, and the article touches on how this is part of the "Margaritaville" mega-brand.

I wish there were more places in between this sort of life (too corporate) and the communes like twin oaks (too many sacrifices for communal life imo, e.g. almost no pets, restricted housing). Maybe what I want is just an ordinary friendly small town, but if people have suggestions for places where you can find deep community that would fit an academic/tech-inclined personality-type, I'd love to hear it.
I don’t have evidence in the form of research or empirical data but I’m happy to talk from my own experiences. Genuine empathy comes from a place of understanding and is almost impossible without seeing one’s struggles. I also think students who aren’t exposed to racially diverse populations struggle to emphasize on racial issues. If you don’t have exposure it’s something novel and foreign. Our first intuitions are often incorrect. These aren’t things that one magically gets correct from principles but rather that one slowly accumulates by interacting with diverse populations.
This is how we lose the war against global warming. The process here is simple:
1. Tree captures carbon
2. Carbon gets buried in a road.

Simple.

For warming we can use electricity generated by wind, solar, tides etc.

Do not move the goalposts.
> Seems from reading this that Russian is specifically targeted and proscribed from being taught in schools

Seems to me you cited the part where it is explicitly allowed to be taught in schools, both private and public, contradicting your claim that it is “proscribed from being taught in schools”.
Reminds me of the charts showing a huge spike in media articles talking about racism and diversity right around the time of Occupy Wall Street.
Note that in part of the process, Copilot was the one asking complex questions when the human programmer didn't know how to proceed.

Copilot adds tremendous value for someone who knows what they want, but not how to do it.

For example, I'm not a great programmer. I'm also a lazy programmer.
I had to convert a time to a specific format, in a specific timezone in JS, and I couldn't be bothered looking up documentation for Date.toLocaleTimeString (or is that Date.toLocaleString?).

I wrote a comment outlining exactly what I wanted:
// given a date in ISO format (and UTC timezone), return the time in hh:mm AM/PM format (and x timezone)
and immediately Copilot generated the code I was after.

Making something easier can definitely mean the difference between doing and not doing — I've taken on a lot of projects I wouldn't have attempted without Copilot.
The 'Anonymous' collective says it has hacked the central bank of Russia
The constitution was the result of several heated debates (conventions) and versions of it were rejected. If the rights already existed, people would not have had to fight about what they should be. It would also mean we would have the exact same rights as are had in any other country, and it’s clear that this is not true.
Do you really need containerization if there is one mono-repo and one environment, and using something like GO which is self contained executable. I mean whole appeal of docker/kuber... is that you can spin new servers and configure them at the go.
The other aspect about racial equity is it quickly gets into highly subjective territory that often just amplifies existing unconscious biases. You may think that 30 year old men from China and India are sufficiently represented or even over-represented in tech at the expense of people of color, but you may find yourself giving preferential treatment to Carlton from Bel-Air over people from the lower classes or castes of their cultures who don't happen to have the particular appearance that helps sell how diverse your company is on its careers page. And to pre-empt downvotes, of course Carlton is an outlier, I'm just using a pop culture reference to make a point.
I went on a trip 10 years ago and took lots of photos. Most of them I cannot remember what it was or what was the significance. Since then I make sure to always have a person (myself or travel companion) in all photos because it helps remember what we were doing - having a person in the photo prompts the memory for some reason.
> Youtube and the algorithm want you to put out content every day

I follow a bunch of YouTubers who put stuff out less than weekly, and make a decent (in some cases huge) living off it. Their content is a bit niche, has zero outrage value, and is incredibly well produced.

Maybe I’m just in a very different part of YouTube but I can’t even think of anyone who posts content daily.
The interesting thing is that for them that makes sense, the poor people are not white on the coast, but for the "fly over states" there is a ton of poor white people with drug addictions and poor education.
Maybe that 1% costs an excessive amount to host.
I think you're missing the point: this is starting to open the door to people who can't code.
Reminds me of an excerpt from Thomas Merton's Raids On The Unspeakable: "I am alien to the noises of cities, of people, to the greed of machinery that does not sleep, the hum of power that eats up the night. Where rain, sunlight and darkness are contemned, I cannot sleep. I do not trust anything that has been fabricated to replace the climate of woods or prairies. I can have no confidence in places where the air is first fouled and then cleansed, where the water is first made deadly and then made safe with other poisons. There is nothing in the world of buildings that is not fabricated, and if a tree gets in among the apartment houses by mistake it is taught to grow chemically. It is given a precise reason for existing. They put a sign on it saying it is for health, beauty, perspective; that it is for peace, for prosperity; that it was planted by the mayor’s daughter. All of this is mystification. The city itself lives on its own myth. Instead of waking up and silently existing, the city people prefer a stubborn and fabricated dream; they do not care to be a part of the night, or to be merely of the world. They have constructed a world outside the world, against the world, a world of mechanical fictions which contemn nature and seek only to use it up, thus preventing it from renewing itself and man."
Why would that be relevant? Are we sure that Gilab runs the same code on servers as their open source code? Unless you are planning to self host it, I don’t see why its even an issue.
100% agreed. I want buttons to, at minimum, indicate that my click or touch was successful. Even a little wiggle. Flat design has me wondering with no visual indication, and I hit this all the time.

Amazon has free stuff too, but they've made those harder to find, you can't generally get there by browsing. But if you search for what you want and then sort results by price, that usually does the trick.
Legacy microservices that turned into a distributed network monolith. Ah yes let's use location service to make an http call to location service for some db data.
Fuck people who think they can define speech patterns in datasets like this. Especially since I am required to request permission to view their "Elite" documents.

This is some dystopian shit right here. I don't care what fancy models you train on it, or even what funny jokes you make of it. I'm just so done with this.
This is going to sound corny but those "X years ago on this date" features of Amazon Photos and Google Photos are a great trip down memory lane for me. Even cornier, I really enjoy the Timehop app. It does a decent job of tying memories from Tweets, Facebbook posts, Foursquare check-ins, and photos together.

I don't think I've ever thought "boy, I sure wish I took less photos back then". I have thought the opposite.

There is one exception. Whenever I fancied myself a photographer and took a zillion photos of motorsport races are a slog to get through.

There are many crappy UIs made by dragging buttons and labels in visual editors, but I believe this example comes from a discussion of a different problem. Namely, how to make a non-shitty non-toy GUI for a console tool. And the answer is, you can't, unless you'd already had the mental model, the hierarchy of options and modes of operation that could be projected onto both types of interaction before you made them.

Essentially, this is not even a GUI application, this is a printed cheat sheet for console program with interactivity, like HyperCard or '90s context help systems, but with “callbacks” affecting the program state. It is made for people who know and understand the console version, and just want to choose options with the mouse. Of course, it may be advertised as something made for regular people, but that's a honest false belief. It's more of a convenient shell alias transferred into 2D, something which is not expected to be super nice, or handle all corner cases if it helps you in general.

I think it is, actually, something to be encouraged. There are some tools that people made in Flash for their own use or some fan group because that's what they “programmed” in, not to mention big examples like (Visual) Basic, etc. A user is not just a consumer of what comes to the dumb personal device, a user is someone who can make it work in some unique way, because that's what computers are made for.
