Google has a book out now about its software engineering practices too--although it's not specifically on architecture you can glean a ton of info about how Google services work internally from its software processes: https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book
Flying is still the safest way to travel. So I'm not sure what you're complaining about with the FAA.
One thing to consider is if you would have One API and a few knobs to control the experience and not have to worry about the underlying protocol-, reliability-, latency- aspects to build that experience. (particularly not worry about the shenanigans around tuning RTMP, RTP, HLS, or webrtc)

There are some use-cases in every industry.
* Finance/Company: earnings calls as mentioned before, all-hands meetings at companies (with several people queuing for questions and answers)
* Live Events (music or talkshows)
* Tutoring or education in general.
* Healthcare and education -- Surgeries which are broadcast to several schools and have active collaboration from some doctors. The large-scale interaction can begin much earlier before the surgery.
The cat might use visual cues to right itself.

It might have been interesting to re-run the test with a more obvious "horizon" and see if the cats react to that. Then if the cat still doesn't right itself, it seems like it is using acceleration rather than vision to determine which way is down.
Sure. The original piece isn't proposing that social media just needs a couple regulations, though - the author says they're convinced social media is bad even without the effects of being monitored.
Well part of the value is being handcrafted and being original. If others lie about the first, and can just steal the second, then yes, it is hard to compete.

Is Etsy such a good aggregator, that setting up a storefront with Square is that hard?
Is that fair? My Pixel phone seems to run nothing but ML models of various kinds and they run locally which is madness, pure madness. It can recognize songs and my speech without talking to the cloud at all. That's pretty much the definition of optimization!
I don't. Only connection is that they are both global problems ;)
Yeah this is how most standards go. I use to work on medical devices, and the safety requirements for them were developed by my company and the other big players in the industry, and those became the FDA standards.

The FDA just wants there to be standards, and the companies have a vested interest in making sure those standards ensure safe medical devices.

One of the issues is that planting a tree is a slow form of sequestration. An individual tree may sequester a lot of carbon over its lifetime (measured in decades) as it grows, but it doesn't (and can't) immediately offset things as a seed or a sapling. Some carbon offset schemes attempt to amortize for this with accounting tricks, but for the most part when people are buying things like carbon offsets they are offsetting a pound of CO2 (or equivalent) emitted today with the hope that maybe a tree planted today will maybe sequester that pound over say the next ten years. (If it survives, if it is in a forest that is well maintained and hopefully not in a region prone to wildfires, if that forest is protected as an entity and not clear cut, and so forth.)

I am not an expert or a student of it, but my general impression is that it is more about hazardous/toxic waste issues than labor cost.
I just use a cron job that calls openssl s_client. The trick is to use faketime to check if the certificate would be valid in the future, like so:

check_tls () {
# Check two weeks in the future to give us time to fix certs
faketime +14days \
openssl s_client -showcerts -verify_return_error "$@" \
</dev/null || exit 1
}

The -verify_return_error option makes s_client return an exit code on cert validation failure. Then just loop over the hosts/ports you want to check, wrap the whole script in cronic/chronic to ignore output when it doesn't fail and bam no need for a service to do this. Just have to be able to interpert s_client output ;)

An example with dual stack IPv4/v6 https/smtp/imap support:

for af in -4 -6; do
for connect in \
www.example.org:443 \
\
mail.example.org:465 \
mail.example.org:993 \
;
do
check_tls $af -connect $connect
done

check_tls $af -starttls smtp -connect mail.example.org:25
check_tls $af -starttls smtp -connect mail.example.org:587
check_tls $af -starttls imap -connect mail.example.org:143
done

Note that s_client doesn't check if the hostname passed is correct for the certificate it receives by default. To turn this on use the -verify_hostname option (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man1/openssl-verificatio...)
I've spend most of my day today napping and watching youtube and a bit of doom scrolling.

Well, I'm pretty sure Europe is capable of sending nuclear missiles that would destroy any FOB Russia set in Finland (this wouldn't trigger Russia doctrine of only using nukes to defend its territory, not its troops).

Invasion would become way to costly for a demographically challenged country.
I mean why should it be reported? If someone is agreeing with a policy then it would consistently agreeing with such policies? Like it has been 2 months that European leaders have fought for US interests but do you see people saying “ok you can’t trust this politicians anymore cuz they’ve protected us interests for a while already”, I’m Italian without any interest in Russia and still if you check my history I am more against the only country who dropped 2 atomic bombs killing 200k civilians , than Russia, am I not repliable?
Reminds me of a decision I made long ago to use a 32-bit instead of 64-bit Linode server because I read somewhere that 32-bit was slightly faster. Nodejs stopped providing 32-bit binaries at version 8 or 9? and now I’m stuck with the risk of migrating my working cron, php, mysql, node spaghetti or being constrained by apis/packages available in an ancient version of Node.

Edit: I thought of slowly migrating everything to Docker, but the official Docker binaries are also 64-bit only.

>Being in meetings means you get to be in the room when decisions are made.

That was never my experience, especially if those meetings were standup meetings as the parent poster was referring. The standup meetings were a lot of feel good so the business could cajole the developers. Any actual coordination that needed to happen was outside those meetings among developers, with the business making their own decisions and dictating from on high.
This is absolutely the primary non-religious argument against euthanasia, and it's a serious one; what happens to the priorities of a healthcare system that "prices in" assisted dying?

Discussions like this have even happened around the Liverpool Care Pathway in the UK.

I don't really know how I feel about it, except to say that my once-strong certainty that I (as someone with no dependents) would choose such a route has been softened by witnessing the astonishing care and dedication in end-of-life care even in a very overstretched NHS.

I just don't think it's fair to suggest that there is a European end-of-life-care industry that would "astroturf" this discussion; those are not the ways in which it operates.
Ban people from manual driving on public roads and even highways could work with lighter vehicles with less passive safety. Of course that might be more of an long-term outlook, as in "late this century", but it seems like an option.

When I come to HN, this is what I'm always hoping to see. Lots are here for startup news, FAANG, etc. Nope, I just want to see really, really cool fun things.

Great work.
Interesting. I'm german too and I never interpreted it that way.

I haven't actually encountered the term in a game context often, so maybe there are different interpretations - but there is also the figure of speech "Er steht unter Zugzwang" (he is in zugzwang). I'm pretty sure that saying means someone is under pressure to make some move or descision - not a specific one.

> having to drink a schnaps because all other people at the table drink one too

That sounds more like Gruppenzwang (peer pressure) to me.

I guess they are using JIRA for planning their sprints.
Yep I'm referring to the platform itself. I wish Valve made more games, but I'm happy with the direction they're going in, i.e. working to make SteamOS3 and their Steam Deck a success, since this will also be a win for Linux gaming.
Oh, no, this is flawed reasoning. Sorry.

"You can burn oil made from biowaste all day and all night and it won't raise CO2 levels one little bit. Why? Because all that carbon came from the atmosphere to begin with! All the carbon in living things comes from plants, who get it from atmospheric CO2. It's a closed cycle."

Oil comes from plants and animals, crushed under the weight of the earth, it's also a 'natural cycle' - but that doesn't matter at all.

"The problem is solely, 100%, taking carbon that has been safely in the ground for millions of years, a"

No, it has nothing to do with that at all.

It doesn't matter where or how the carbon gets into the air.

Anything that is going to be used as a fuel, we tax, relative to the amount of CO2 it emits, and that's that.

If as it turns out it's incredibly more efficient to burn 'biofuel' than it is to extract Oil - fine. But it's probably not the case.

Unsung Force Digging Through Misinformation
TLDR: I started https://github.com/pogopaule/awesome-sustainability-jobs to make it easier for you to find a job in which you can help to fight climate change or contribute to sustainability in general.

A few years ago, the topic of climate change and sustainability, in general, became increasingly important to me.
I wanted to at least reduce my contribution to climate change as much as was feasible for me.
I did the typical things: sold the car and switched to public transportation, vacations without taking the plane, changed diet and consumption in general, etc.

For a while I completely ignored that I was doing the exact opposite eight hours a day at work: I worked as a software developer for a company that was all the more successful the more greenhouse gases were pumped into the atmosphere.
As a software developer, depending on the job, you can sometimes ignore what your employer is doing and just focus on technology and code...That's what I did until I couldn't ignore my hypocrisy anymore.
So I started looking for companies that focus on energy transition, transportation transition, agricultural transition, etc.

To my surprise, although these companies (which also had jobs for software developers) existed, but were damn hard to find. They just disappeared in the flood of job offers for software developers.
Often these companies are startups or SMEs and don't advertise on the big job boards. In addition, my search was pre-pandemic and for many companies, remote work was not a thing.
As a result, I collected numerous links to company sites, and soon the idea was born to share these links with others.
After all, if it's such a hassle for everyone to find a developer job in sustainability, I figured many would eventually abandon the search out of frustration.

I hope that awesome-sustainability-jobs will lower the barrier to entry and more software developers will switch companies. We all know how hard it is for companies to acquire talented developers, so for many companies that try to fight climate change, it is vital that you join them.

Disclaimer: I am adding companies to the best of my knowledge and hope that I have filtered out companies that are just greenwashing. However, I have not done a deep analysis of the companies. So see the list as a starting point and evaluate the companies yourself.

You will certainly notice that there are a disproportionately large number of companies in the USA and Germany. This is simply because I only speak English and German. I would be very happy if many more companies from all over the world made it to the list.
The list needs support from all of you! :)
Thanks for the suggestion. This is a good idea.

yeah, alcubierre drive at least theoretically possible, if no known way of implementing it yet exists... and it would also leave no emissions or traces, since it would work by literally bending spacetime and not via propulsion of any sort. Emissions depend on ejecting mass behind you, and all that, which probably looks pretty retro if you can just make the ground you're on go downhill (in the spacetime sense) in order to accelerate your craft

> yet they let themselves get seen by random Joes

maybe visual stealth is either tough, or they actually want to desensitize us to themselves? the best known treatment of desensitization in phobias is through neutral repeated exposure.

> and they turn some off but leave the rest

given that there's likely many more of us than there are them, and also that they probably don't really want the job of being Sky Nannies, but also that they want to neutralize the most egregiously dangerous situations (a whole bunch of missiles on standby might satisfy that) or at least try to teach a lesson ("stop that!" lol)... I'm already wildly speculating but if they're fallible intelligences that do not have omnipotence but meet our criteria for "good actors", then this is an entirely plausible scenario
Given the founder disappeared and never spent his coins, and the other early users were all developers who are conspicuously not crazy rich, that seems like an extremely uncharitable interpretation of what happened.
I also use this setup. Works well for editing and reading the files. But be aware that some file-intensive operations don't work as well. It is better to grep or git in the remore server instead of in the local mount. Be careful if your shell prompt is configured to show git status, because that won't be instantaneous.
Every business has an obligation to work for the investor.
> I believe it's all about price control on the supply side, not capacity.

That doesn't contradict GP's point. Keeping prices from dropping too low reduces incentives for farmers to exit the business, thereby maintaining high capacity for when it's needed.

This is why the home computer and smartphone revolutions we were promised never happened. No one absolutely had to have them so everyone waited for next year's cheaper, faster, and better models and the market died out.

Imagine a terrible world where people are incentivised to buy stuff they don't need and barely want; we'd be drowning in crap and burning up the Earth to make it.

I really wish Compaq after buying DEC would have bought Sun, BeOS, and Apple rather than get acquired by HP.
when i see a new object for the first time, i MEMORIZE what i INTERPRET as its identifying traits, and ask someone who has already MEMORIZED what that object is to INTERPRET a concept with which i can associate those traits. the next time i encounter an object with those traits i can then recall the associations, then compose those trait-level interpretations into an interpretation of an object.

at a fundamental level that's all this is, compositions of associated memorizations and interpretations, which map to compositions of sentence parts the machine can regurgitate back to you

There is actually a tool that does exactly what you describe. It's called baserow :) https://baserow.io/

It's open source and hosted in the cloud. It has an excel like interface that you can share and work on with others.
Good points, but a bit extremist.

I definitely agree with the over-hype making simple mundane tasks way harder than they should be.

So yeah, do NOT over-engineer!!

But, on the other hand, doing everything with a single Postgres and spreadsheets seems to go with the hammer-to-nail adage.
And all too often, you end up with unmaintainable duck-taped hack-arounds...
Which is clearly NOT better (nor necessarily worst) than the over-engineered solution.

In some cases (maybe not 1% but clearly not the majority either), it does make sense to look at other tools that might be available.

That being said, there are waaaay too many options to filter through, because of that darn hype bubble.
Price controls have the same effect. By either reducing supply or setting a price floor you prop up the market-clearing price from the natural price which would be lower. This prevents those farms whose profitability depends on sale price being somewhere between the natural and artificial price from going bankrupt.

Whether the government can actually leverage those unused acres when needed however remains to be seen. Government would need to act quickly enough to see a potential shortage coming, and give farmers the green-light to plant. Farmers without unused acres will likely lobby hard against this.

Pictures may not have been supplied chronologically.

Seriously: the number of people that can be counted on to should 'fake' at any kind of story that is outside of their personal experience is a bit tiring.

Keep in mind that absolutely nobody has anything to gain by being found out to be 'the girl that faked having cancer' with their face and half their life's story out for the whole world to relate to. That doesn't mean fakes do not happen, but what it does mean is that absent hard evidence shouting 'fake' is just another low brow dismissal.

And there is plenty of evidence that proves that it is a real story, including hospital pictures, pictures of the vehicle, pictures of her in happier times and so on. Skepticism is fine but let's not overdo it.
Make sure the kid is having fun. Don't put the bar too high; you don't need to understand linux just to build a website.

Help them come up with a plan, something they want to see realized, and the cart will basically pull itself. The rest will follow.
As with everything, there's nuance. But, yes, it's politically a lot harder to argue for sanctions that will have a significant effect on consumers/voters than those that will not.
NATO doesn't even cover Hawaii, let alone Taiwan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Treaty#Article_...

> Article 6 states that the treaty covers only member states' territories in Europe and North America, Turkey and islands in the North Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer, plus French Algeria. It was the opinion in August 1965 of the US State Department, the US Defense Department and the legal division of NATO that an attack on the U.S. state of Hawaii would not trigger the treaty, but an attack on the other 49 would.
I'm _sure_ there are parts of the law that I have forgotten.

Or perhaps since laws have changed or new laws were made that you were unaware of (through no fault of your own - these things are hard to keep track of!). I agree people would hate it, but I think there's value in, like you say giving people a refresher about the law.

I also think there's value in reminding people that driving is not an inalienable right and also inviting a person to re-evaluate their situation every so often to think if they still really need a car.
Hey, Nick from Elementary Audio here.

You're totally right that in this domain you have to be extremely careful with performance and latency. Elementary takes great care to deliver that; it's a JavaScript "frontend" API but all of the actual handling of audio is done natively with high quality realtime constraints. The core engine is all native C/C++, and we run in the web by compiling to wasm and running inside a web worker. For delivering a desktop app or audio plugin, the native engine is compiled directly into the target binary.

So, while JavaScript and garbage collectors can bring a performance concern, we're only using JavaScript there for handling the lightweight virtual representation of the underlying engine state, and for that role JavaScript is plenty fast enough and the garbage collector quite helpful!
