Yes? Their options were invade Georgia BEFORE it's a NATO member, or allow a NATO-member Georgia to potentially host ABM interceptors at some point in the future, at which point they wouldn't be able to invade without fighting all of NATO. From a risk management perspective, for Russian leadership the choice is obvious.

Well said!

We need more of this problem space exposed to engineers and not just for “analysts”.

I’ll share a couple other articles from a company that does a nice job explaining the technical problems in what is traditionally “business analytics”.

The space is OLAP and you may have scoffed at the idea of “OLAP cubes”, but man were they useful. In the way that excel powers a ton of business processes, cubes powered a lot of analytics. Underlying tech is cool but they are showing their age:
https://www.holistics.io/blog/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-olap-...

Another write up of this idea of a semantic layer above raw sql statement: https://www.holistics.io/blog/holistics-data-modeling-explai...

So this “semantic layer” leverages the latest tech to deliver the same business insights faster, better, more flexibly. Ie once you define this semantic layer over your data (ie how all your sql tables are connected), the semantic engine knows how to query up and down your data model, writing the SQL queries for you, on the fly. You can ask and answer new questions without writing new queries. And with modern columnar query engines (eg big query, spark, presto, etc), perf is usually pretty good.
I can’t find a source for this. I believe this to be true, but I can’t find evidence of it. Do you know of one?
If people are exposed to stimuli, they will pursue
increasingly stimulating versions of it.

This is not true in any kind of universal way.

If you enjoy car chases in movies, does that mean you're going to require more and more intense chase scenes, and then consume real-life crash footage, and ultimately progress to doing your own daredevil driving stunts in real life?

No, because at some point it's "enough."

Same with... literally anything we enjoy. Did you enjoy your lunch? Did you compulsively feel the need to work up to crazier and crazier lunches?

What about sex? Have you had sex? Do you feel the need to seek out crazier and crazier versions of it?
Its interesting that things that could improve cognition are also getting under the microscope, which I think is a reflection of the society we live in today compared to say 50years ago, the point being more mentally taxing less physically taxing work.

Of course, from a military perspective, knowledge is power so I'm not surprised countries are getting into this line of study. Humans are inherently lazy which is why we build labour saving devices, but Govt's also need to keep the population busy to avoid trouble which will take many guises.

So whilst the focus is on depression treatment, spin off knowledge will almost certainly be obtained and used in less obvious ways.

A simple point, I've always found the cannabis culture in Uni's to be highly tolerated, but considering weed puts the brain in a state almost identical to a schizophrenic episode, what new insights will be solicited.

> For example, even in the middle of the fast-moving epidemic, the WHO dismissed field epidemiology reports as proof of airborne transmission because the evidence was not definitive, something that is difficult to achieve quickly during an outbreak.

It seems the responsible thing to do in this situation, rather than tweeting definitively that the virus was "NOT" spread via airborne transition, would've been too withhold judgement...at minimum. The ideal thing to do would've been to at least acknowledge the countless scenarios that gained media attention which seemed to heavily indicate airborne transmission, while prefacing it that these scenarios aren't themselves sufficient to confirm that.
Vim still has some short comings when it comes to developing, since at the end of the day, is a text-editing tools. I usually use tmux + vim over SSH and it's very comfy, maybe Emacs can do all of that in Emacs itself.

I hope I can gather enough energy some day to give it a try. I'm really not into fighting for which ecosystem is better, I just want to enjoy editing code, and so far vim is making it fun, but exploration can be fun too :D
"I don't know how you build great management virtually." Unless your company is in the business of selling great management, how is it pertinent to working in or out of an office? Yeah, if it's so important for top-level managers to clump together, let them do it as they wish. They certainly have the $$ and resources for it.

Great Management don't feed the bulldog when it comes to a project. Luck, skill, teamwork, methodology, ... These things make a project go. And the type of people, the grunts at the keyboard, aren't usually the types who want to tool around having impromptu discussions - they want to be left alone to get and stay into the zone and code. So, if the Great Management is really great, they understand that they have to hide these people as much as possible, maintain a healthy environment and let them do their work. Don't Bother Them. They have first-line managers run interference for that.

Given current-day network and tools, impromptu conversations or consultations are virtually instantaneous worldwide. Rather than the 1-100 people within reach via a 5-minute walk you have the world at your fingertips. So if you're the typical HN reader you can reach out to whomever you need rather trivially.

So we're rephrase this article to "in-office work is better for CEO's of successful companies who know how they'll be successful in 12 months". I'm not sure where middle management fits in other than as an organizational conduit linking the Management and the first-line managers. They can self-organize as desired as they're disconnected from the project teams.

With luck, there are some (really) good people on hand to carry a project. Leave them the hell alone to let them do their work and give them what they need. Read Joel.
K8s doesn't do anything to help you with managing the fleet of k8s hosts. At 10^5 host machines you have a much bigger problem on your hands than the one that k8s is solving for.

If you have and are solving that hyperscale infrastructure problem then whether or not you're running kubernetes doesn't actually make a damn bit of difference to how you allocate your human/financial resources.

Or summarized, at the scale where Kubernetes is advertised to make the biggest difference, it's actually irrelevant/an implementation detail.
I don't know why people here think you have to quantify your revenue impact in your promo packet. This is literally not a thing, and any number you put in there will be ignored. No one up the engineering chain cares about dollar figures when it comes to evaluating ICs.

As for the Linus question, plenty of engineers with similar profiles have worked for Google, and they don't do so as junior developers their entire career. Junio Hamano, who has been maintaining Git while at Google for the last 15 years, is the perfect example. Sundar Pichai started his career working on products that had zero or negligible revenue (Chrome, ChromeOS, Google Drive) and is now the CEO.
Ask HN: How can my 62 year old father get a job?
Disclaimer: not looking for a job as my father does not speak english, just want some opinions.

My father used to code in the 80's, assembly, machine language, banking services. He stopped coding in the early 90's and now for some years has been studying and deploying some flutter applications for fun.

He decided last year to return to the market, learned git, dart, state management even how to use figma to try some junior jobs, but he's always failing in the last interview part, where the company has to choose between him and some fresh grads (most of the time the recruiters say that the age is a problem)

See, he is not really trying to get a senior job, he is just hoping to get a job in the area again.

Do you guys have some advice for an older dev starting now or returning after decades?
You just have to be a Kubernetes black belt guru expert. It is better but it’s not all rainbows and butterflies on this side of the fence either. Generally it boils down to the stack taking way too many resources to run locally, or still needing access to various persistent data stores, etc..
Oh this is like litestream that featured in TailScale's post "A database for 2022" discussed recently [1]. In both cases you're replicating by tailing the database WAL, in this case Postgresql/MySql and in litestream's case SQLite. It's a great idea, I'm glad we're starting to take advantage of this great opportunity afforded by the design convergence of using a WAL for database transactions.

Key Startup Metrics by Startup Type (YC's Own Guide)

Static HTML/CSS/JS generated by custom python scripts. No tracking, though I guess the server gets IP addresses and HTTP headers.

I made it to host a web novel I wrote. I wanted to do it without JavaScript, but HTML and CSS weren't sufficient to generate responsive sidenotes that lined up with the text on desktop, and collapsed into popovers at smaller widths.

I wrote the novel in a traditional word processor, then wrote an App to convert each chapter to HTML. The app helped to format the notes and read the text using text-to-speech to help pace my proofreading. The python scripts then take the output of this app and insert headers/footers and generate RSS entries.

I've also started a blog section on the site. There's only one post there now, but I have a few ides for more posts I want to add.
Is this just your own personal theory or opinion? Do you have some proof?

To put it as nicely as possible, this wildly contradicts reality as I have experienced it and observed others experiencing it.
Some family members lived in Hong Kong when the Sinovac vaccine rolled out. There was hysterical reporting of suspected side-effects to the point that vaccine hesitancy was off the charts. Cultural norms are to take care of elders in your family, and few people wanted their parents/grandparents to get vaccinated.

Sinovac wasn't as effective as the mRNA vaccines, but it also wasn't killing people with side effects: quite a lot of Omicron deaths could have been easily prevented.
Quick scan of dbt metrics - looks like it lets you define a flat, single view of a metric with a predefined set of “filters” (Ie sql predicates). Also it only allows a metric to come from a single table; “joins” are a TODO.

It is missing the runtime engine to “interpret” the semantic model and so arbitrary but correct joins among tables and generate the appropriate SQl to realize those arbitrary joins.

If anyone know dbt better and also knows semantic models, please correct.
Perhaps the poster had a strong reaction to propaganda?
True, vim at the end of the day as you said -- is just a text editor. I usually use vim + tmux to handle a couple of panels with compiler + debugger. Maybe I should try Emacs since it sounds like it can do everything without ever leaving it.

One thing I remember though, startup time of emacs was a bit painful, but I could be misremembering things.

I guess tomorrow will be a fun day :^D

"when your company is doing poorly financially or is having issues it's the government that is going to pay your worker's salaries"

If true, it rather looks to me like a recipe for zombie enterprises than for healthy ones. Don't you want that, if it is to fail, to fail fast?

"New companies get a very friendly, near 0 taxation for few years, and the more people you employ (especially if young) the more slack on taxes you get. Do companies in countries with lower taxes get that?"

Romania is on lower end of all kind of taxes in the E.U., then especially new/small companies (whose turnover is lower than 1 million Euros) there is this tax option of 3% (from income) or even 1% if there is at least one employee.

Education, healthcare, and even government grants (thanks to investment & development policies in overall E.U.) were worth mentioning only in relation to U.S., as Italy does not particularly excel at any of them.

If you don't want the pointy-haired bosses to start measuring productivity by number of commits, start with not doing so yourself.

Commit count is largely meaningless and a low-effort way to fling around "contribution" numbers. For example, large commit numbers could be a reflection of a specific company's internal conventions around making a larger number of small changes as their own commit.

Now it's certainly plausible to me that Google is a much more major contributor to Kubernetes than Apple, but you need better numbers for showing that. For example, which companies have contributed to designing and implementing the major features in the last 5 releases?

Pro tip for people with more money than $GOD: "Wishing doesn't make it so.". The good idea coupled to a good implementation still sucks if the biology or physics doesn't work.

> That's a pretty flexible definition of "choice" ;)

If you choose not to vote, you're putting endorsement toward what everyone else does. If nothing particularly weird or bad is going on, the people not voting should be similar to the people voting.

And you can pretend I said "preference" if you don't like the word choice. Doesn't change my argument.

> Does this also hold if the vote went 51% to 49% (in dual party system)?

No, statistically that's too close. But when you get 60% of a 70% turnout, to reverse that the rest of the population would have prefer to vote about 3:1 in the opposite direction. That's not likely.

> hugo, the binary ... (it must not break your website between releases)

I wrote a little blog post about my experience with Hugo - https://madebynathan.com/posts/2021-12-05-how-docker-saved-m...

I struggled with this issue when I realized that it was too much work to update my blog to use the latest version of Hugo. I wasn't able to run the old hugo binary on my new version of MacOS (segfault). And I couldn't even compile the old code from source, because I couldn't get older versions of Go to work. Some of the old Go dependencies had even been renamed or deleted.

Eventually I realized that I could continue using my old version of Hugo forever (0.21) if I run it in a Linux Docker container. The output is still static HTML and CSS, and all the static files are cached and served with a CDN (CloudFlare), so I'm not particularly worried about security updates.

I'm not sure how long this will last though. It would be very nice if new versions of Docker would always provide backwards-compatibility for older Docker images, even in 20-30 years.

It depends.
A few things lend themselves directly from the article: More expertise on the buyer side overall (less reliance on a vendor to co-author the RFP). Better processes on the buyer side in order to lessen the one-upmanship regarding requirements.

Both of these are easier said than done, of course, because if you had the expertise and the processes, why even hire somebody else? In ideal world, the answer is that you could do it, but you chose to spend your resources (your experts' time) somewhere else, e.g. writing more RFPs.

Probably not very realistic for most businesses, but on the scale of governments, they really ought to have the necessary in house expertise. (But I'm sure they almost never do, whether it's building a bridge, buying a tank or developing an IT project.)

No but that's not the point. The scale of the underlying operational problem is so much bigger that whether you're running kubernetes or some other solution on top of it doesn't actually make any material difference (kubernetes or any other option are effectively equivalent).

Thus hyperscale companies have no reason to contribute to Kubernetes. It does not affect their bottom line. Hence all of the memes about companies chasing Kubernetes are being distracted from their real goals.
