In every environment I've worked in, the content of a DB is not considered a build artifact. The container that actually runs e.g. PostgreSQL is, but it will use volume mounts.

I think what OP is referring to is the fact that the container itself is stateless. If you (to continue the PostgreSQL example) needed to upgrade the version of a dependency in the container, you'd publish a new artifact and use the same volume mount, performing a data migration as you go. Rather than performing upgrades to an already running instance. ("containers are cattle, not pets").
Only circumstantially: we can guess that it was made by Greeks and we know a fair bit about their economy and bronze working ability from other historical sources. But if this had never been discovered, a reasonable guess for how many mechanisms of this sophistication existed would be zero.

I think the important thing, is whether this is e2e manufacturing or just assembly.

I mean if you can repair a phone yourself, you've got the skills to assemble a new one. What China has and what I guess India really needs, is the massive technical and logistics pyramid that the final assembly sits on.

Assembly is simply tariff avoidance - and maybe a nice puff-piece for politicians.

How my biggest work failure led to success
Agreed. I grew up on 35mm with a fully manual SLR too. But seeing someone discover it for the first time is exciting. But during the pandemic, I "rediscovered" film. Growing up, I just bought the cheapest drugstore film (Kodak Gold/Ultramax, and similar Fujis), then sent it off for developing - never giving it too much though.

During the pandemic, I went down the rabbit hole or learning all about film (history, chemistry, etc..), experimenting with the different stocks, developing it myself at home - both color C-14 and BW (moving onto E-6 & caffenol next!). Messing with creative effects (redscale, souping, deliberate ligh-leaks, double exposure, etc...)

What a wondrous, fun, and endless hobby to get into! I'm still just on 35mm, but hope to grow into 120 soon. That said, I also would not give up my modern ILCE mirrorless.

Maybe Word has come of age in terms of equation editing, but has it come to age in terms of usability? I haven't used in about 10 years, but back then it crashed a lot on larger documents, and I suffered a lot from never knowing if I was inside the invisible tags or not, so I never knew when I was typing right after a list if I would start a new list item or not, or when typing next to italic text if the new text would be italic or not. I also remember that trying to move anything, like an embedded image, would move tons of other things too. I definitely found LaTeX much easier to use.

And that's excluding Word line-breaking which always looked rather poor to me: some lines were left very empty and others overcrowded. It just didn't look professional to me. Perhaps that was been fixed too.

Why? If something pops off in Asia, Apple can cry to the US govt for a handout to manufacture elsewhere. Intel is only building fabs in the US because of government subsidies.

So you can outsource everything for profit and then get the government to pay to bring them back. Rinse and repeat.

I agree about the magic of an image appearing on the paper, but in other respects I was never keen on the darkroom itself - the smell of the fixer and the stop-bath, the darkness and the fact that the images I produced were never as good as I wanted them to be kind of put me off.

Still, it was fun, all in all. I've never found digital at all satisfying.

At my last address I struggled with helicopters hovering overhead all day. I just moved into a new place and have building plumbing running 24/7 next to my flat. Over time I’ve accustomed to wearing either NC headphones or earplugs every hour of the day, but it just upsets me so much to have to do that.

Yet nobody takes it seriously and I’m considered ‘weird’, or told that I’ll ‘get used to it’. Well, I don’t.

I’ve taken to using float tanks for occasional hours of total silence and I’m once again looking for a new place to live, and considering leaving to go live in a cabin in the woods or something..

No, Go solves this problem and Deno explicitly copies its design. Just use Go. Seriously. The stupidest thing npm still does today is naively assume SemVer is an appropriate strategy for automatic updates.

There is so such thing as an appropriate strategy for automatic updates for developers. For end users? Sure. Because the assumption for them is that things are stable.

Developers need to check. Developers need to pin.

If you’re working in the Node.js ecosystem the solution isn’t to throw the baby out with the bath water and use Deno, it’s to `—save-exact`.

I’m sure as hell not throwing away all of the hours invested in now stable JavaScript software.

I have a daughter who is 10. She and most of her friends have a smart phone. She is friends with a neighbor girl who is home schooled. When they hang out, the home schooled girl who has extremely limited access to electronics just wants to sit inside and watch shows and play games while my daughter wants to go outside and play. In fact, when she's hanging out with any of her friends none of them are glued to their phones. Anecdotes are fun!
The interesting and difficult thing to process here is whether this is a provocation without turning it into 'whatabboutism'

John Mearsheimer made the analogy "What if China became close allies with Canada and stationed troops and missiles north of the border, how would the USA react?"

Joining NATO means millitary bases, troop exercises, and 'defensive' missile installations that can be easily converted to offensive missiles without any visibility.

From that perspective, avoiding the issue of morality and legality, it seems like a terrifying step towards war between nuclear-armed powers.
One thing that people tend to like about film is "highlight rolloff" - or the gradient describing how highlights become over-exposed. In digital cameras this can end up being a harsh clipping of data, but with film, it's usually a softer more pleasing transition.

This is one reason why fancy digital cameras prefer to shoot in raw and log color spaces to help preserve the color data to grade that transition
I tried a walking meditation on the Sam Harris Waking Up app while in a shopping mall. It is incredible the amount of background noise and lights that are there all vying for your attention. The human mind does an incredible job of blocking it out. I really couldn’t wait to be around some nature after that experience.
I'm not sure where you got that we need 1B of such vehicles. We won't. But of all the vehicles that will remain, I'm willing to bet that almost all will be EVs. Even if there will be a fraction of vehicles on the roads compared to today, they still won't be using ICEs. Hence, mass adoption of EVs is inevitable either way.
So is that just an overlooked bug or "works as designed--closing" type of bug? Was this thing designed as a trojan horse/sabotage to take down one ship? Was this just some overworked craftsman that didn't realize he left the torque setting too high from a previous project? Intent matters
They actually don't. You can just ignore them. I get that people find them unpleasant. But "finding somebody unpleasant" is different from "someone costs you money."

Seems unlikely, Sweden has elections in the autumn and the second-biggest party was previously anti-NATO (as is the current ruling party, in the past at least).

It all looks rosy now, but remember just a few years ago when Turkey shot down a Russian jet on the Syrian border and almost led to NATO involvement?

It's truly amazing, especially for cassava or say Hákarl[1].

> How did they connect the "can't use legs" to the cassava they ate?

Keep in mind these people are in Africa cassava is native in South America. I am pretty sure people in south America will tell you that cassava is toxic if you don't do all the steps and not just "it's our culture".

The it's our culture response might be the case in places where it was introduced and people were told you have to do x,y,z to eat it.

Who knows? (Really, does anybody know?)

If you decriminalize, you do make drugs more approachable. You also make treatments more approachable, and health research actually possible.

Besides, there are other ways to fight the use of something than sending the police to lock people down with other addicts. And well, all that police involvement does put money on the drug sellers hands, to use on their marketing.

Overall, it seems that the highest damage (by orders of magnitude) those substances cause is due to the police involvement. So I'm quite for taking that involvement away. But there are other damages, and I have never seen anybody with a believable enough model of what will happen to those after drugs are legalized. (And, of course, it will certainly depend on all the details, so any "yes or no" answer is guaranteed to be bullshit.)

Yes, it's the formulation, formalization, generalization of the whole concept that is new.

I agree with the innovation part (for some narrow definition of innovation at least), but not sure why you think drilling and shipping billions of tons of products requires no large scale coordination. Just looking at their wiki page, they operate hundreds of oil fields.
> the natives had no idea why they were getting sick

The people getting sick are in eastern Africa, while cassava is native to South America. Stands to reason that the methods of cassava preparation weren't as ingrained to the people who were getting sick.

> Crypto is "cult by design" in much the way all greater-fool scams are.

Only if you think Gold is also a "cult by design"

> I dont think anyone has ever yet explained how this is meant to function as a currency.

I don't think anyone has ever yet explained to me how a fish can fly :-p. To be more serious, I don't think Bitcoin is a currency. I see it as an equivalent of digital gold - a store of value.

> extremely deflationary assets are terrible currencies.

Agreed. But they are great as a store of value.

> at some point the tail won't be long enough

I don't see it as a pyramid. For someone in Venezuela, Russia or Zimbabwe where currency may go in a free fall, Bitcoin offers a way to both store their savings and to take those savings with them easily as they flee the regimes. See this[1] story about Afghani girls who use bitcoins. That is a real world example.

> It is just a bigger-fool scam, so it won't work

Hacker news is famous for bookmarking and surfacing comments after a decade. Want to bet? Let's just agree on a definition of "won't work". here is what I propose: today, Bitcoin market cap is ~777B USD[2] and per BTC price is ~41K USD. On Apr 11th 2032, per BTC price will be greater than or equal to 41K USD[3].

Are you up for this bet?

[3] I know that some USD bears will call out decline in value for USD itself, but I still trust the stability of USD as well and I see BTC's use case mainly for despotic regimes without any easy stores of value.

Whether or not you agree with the demands, it’s probably disingenuous to call this a strike.

It’s much closer to cartel conduct, and a flagrant antitrust/competition law violation.

While the “number of small labourers team up against large employer” narrative sounds superficially like the actions of a labour union, what this appears to be is actually a number of small businesses forming a cartel to influence the prices for their goods. Probably blatantly illegal in much of the developed world.
> In Canada it's programmed to reset to Auto every time the car is started, but not the U.S. model.

That's a Volt. My Bolt & Camaro (in the US...) also have momentary switches that default to auto, and they both actually default to auto. You can only turn off the headlights until the next time you turn off the car.
Yes. People talk about about empathy, but it is the rarest thing in humanity - the ability to see things from your opponent's point of view and then predict their response.
I started with this and still prefer it from a functionality stand point but the one use case where it falls apart for me is when you have an internet connection with occasional lag spikes.

This could be a variety of scenarios like working remote on bad ISPs or cellular or a crappy VPN but all that matters is when it acts up it will cause lag, or dropped connections depending on severity. Too many interruptions while trying to focus.

For this reason I keep everything local and use an rsync wrapper over my build system that streams output back. The added delay for each command disrupts workflow less than it happening during editing.

Veru’s Covid-19 Drug Candidate Reduces Deaths by 55% in Hospitalized Patients
I am a big fan of Apple products. I prefer the industrial and software design of their products over the competition. However, the popularity of the iPhone among normal folks outside tech circles is interesting to me. There is very little change year to year because Apple has to play it safe and wait for features to mature but somehow they manage to sell 200-300 millions of them every year. I checked and the average selling price of iPhones is around $850. No Android manufacturer comes even close.

I don't use Android phones but I have tried the recent Google Pixels, Samsung devices and other brands at the carrier store and they are great looking devices. The flagship iPhones don't stand out as much like they did 10 years ago.

I get it. The iPhone is probably the greatest product in human history. The iPhone has made Apple an invaluable brand. I am just shocked how much normal everyday love the iPhone and keep buying them every year.
Honestly this is one of the HN top-voted comment archetypes: Nitpick which is technically correct in some limited form, but actually completely useless.
Great question-- and may be worth a detailed/thought out blog post some day!

To future proof the service I wanted to use tech that was based on the fundamentals. This boiled down to no special tooling, no special build process, etc. Furthermore I cut out all dependencies I could. I got my third party dependencies down to two (postgres + nginx).

Practically speaking this meant: no node, no yarn, no ruby, no webpack, no sidekiq, no redis, etc.

The entire service is now Nginx, Postgres and a single binary that has html/css/js/assets embedded inside of it. The entire product is a single Go binary that connects to postgres-- that's it.

I could probably do without Nginx, but it has been nice for a variety of reasons and has never given me a headache.

My tech/decisions may not be for everyone (that is why I didn't share them initially) but it works incredibly well for me and most products I build.
That depends whether

- the country can be trusted to not invade you if you try to accommodate.
- sees willingness to accommodate as weakness to be exploited by pushing boundaries again and again.

That being said, if defensive military is others is likely to result in war initiated by the other country, the safe bet is that no amount of diplomatic relations will protect you.
