On the one hand, I’m certain many companies will be eager cut costs through automation. On the other, investors will likely grow cold if the results just can’t live up to the hype fast enough.

I've self-hosted my email on my own domain, own box, in my own home, on my own internet connection for two decades now.

I've not had trouble being marked as spam, I have set up dkim and spf.

The real reasons you cannot self host is a combination of:

ISPs blocking outgoing TCP traffic with destination port 25
and does not provice a smart-host / relay for you to use
or does provice a smart-host, but do not document it, or configures it in such a way that it only relays if you have some authentication that you don't, or that reverse-dns is configured (at the same time, they do not provide reverse-dns for you).
So the best you can say about the CAR is their ethnic diversity is not fundamentally incompatible with prosperity, but nevertheless the problem of prosperity in the CAR is nearly intractable? That's grim.

My eye doctor a few years back tried to get me to get some kind of treatment (a device or some snake oil potion, can't recall) because I was allegedly not blinking enough and had dry eyes that could spiral into (insert mildly scary eye disease) if left untreated. Some googling helped me reach the same conclusion as this blogger.

So it's not just dentists... at least my dermatologist is pretty transparent about all the aesthetic treatments that complement their medical services, though they seem to always find a mole that needs a biopsy and every year it turns out benign. I wonder how many times it was necessary, versus how many times it was just an easy money grab because my insurance covers it and it's very minimal of a procedure. I don't have a problem with for-profit healthcare, but fee-for-service is driving the insane cost inflation in the US

I'd say it depends on how many videos you do a year. My use case is videos either of my family or my mountain biking. Either way I don't have the time to really polish a video up.

When I looked around, Keycloak stood out for being a credible enterprise OAUTH2 server with a free edition truly aimed at making me like the product as a user rather than aimed at roping me into eventually purchasing a support contract or buying premium extensions.

The most recent version of Keycloak jettisons JBoss in favor of Quarkus and everything about it is roundly better as a result. I'd been running a version from 2018 until this month!
That's pretty petty
Much like view on higher education haven't changed greatly, views on job descriptions haven't either.

People will not apply for a job because it wants 10 years of experience for an entry-level job, or some other such nonsense. I have found many employers list a dream sheet, but realistically they are open to accepting candidates with less qualifications, especially when they end up getting very few applicants (due to the hefty qualifications they asked for).
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. A server is never just postgres or memcached, there's always other stuff running, and it's that other stuff that can cause problems. Like maybe you're patching the fleet and a node fails to come back up, or due to misconfiguration the disk gets full.

I'd argue that stable systems are actually worse for operational stability as you become complacent and comfortable and when shit hits the fan you are unprepared.
It's a good story though.
Bit field support being buggy exactly means that they don’t compile to the same machine code as the bit shifting/masking code you would write by hand (if your hand-written code is correct).
Is it though? Should a cop be prosecuted for accidentally killing an innocent civilian in the course of duty during a non violent traffic stop? I would argue that they should be. How many chances should a nurse get to accidentally kill someone? Do they only get prosecuted the second time? Third?

If you are responsible for the death of another person due to your own negligence then you should be prosecuted for a crime and be removed from any scenario where you are able to repeat that mistake.
Totally agree. With lowering wages and cranking out more nurses. I think this is a more sustainable solution.

Ask HN: Why does Musk want to own Twitter?
There has been much speculation as to why Musk wants to own Twitter. I would like to add to it. His 2 hobbies appear to be 1. Trolling people on Twitter 2. Trolling about Cryto.

Maybe Twitter could be a vehicle for promoting/implementing a new coin or FinTech. Musk isn't stupid and neither are the backers of the 44 billion in loans. It seems ludicrous to me that he would be able to do this without a serious plan to increase the value of the investment. Having guarantied access as some have suggested just isn't enough. Any thoughts?
Except that an AirBnB now typically costs more than a hotel for basic travel (a private bedroom & bathroom with wifi and maybe some basic kitchen supplies for coffee).

AirBnB also uses a bunch of dark patterns (service fees and taxes are not listed in the default nightly rate...) and you don't always get what you thought you were getting. I've been burned enough times with deceptive AirBnB listings to not trust the sticker price (hotels are typically less hassle).

Fair question, there are a few things at play.

Some Googling tells me the average final GPA for an engineer there is between 3.3 and 3.4, meaning a lot of people are going to graduate with much lower grades than that. I eventually graduated with a 3.5, but I was below 3 for quite some time. I had two Cs, a fair amount of low As, and a lot of Bs.

What tended to happen was that your GPA increases throughout your time in undergrad because:

* classes are easier later in the major, or they seem easier because you're more directly interested in the content and your classes up to this point have built up the base knowledge, rather than being the freshman year survey of "all the hardest but largely unrelated science classes all at once"

* your study skills improve

This doesn't really excuse how the students are treated in my opinion, both by the professors and generally how the system was set up. Obviously hard things are hard, but there were many, many brilliant students in a very dark place because the school just throws them in the deep end and says "fuck you".

Something like MIT's first semester being pass/fail only could have gone a long way.

Also we were on the quarter system, and engineers needed an absurd 48 classes to graduate, which is a full 4-class schedule every quarter without a single drop or failure in order to graduate on time.

These classes are the same content as full-semester classes at other schools, but crammed into 10 weeks to fit the quarter system.

My school seemed to revel in how hard it was, kids and professors would constantly disparage other top schools saying they were practicing grade inflation. To what degree that is true, who knows. Anytime you go to a top-but-not-Ivy-league school, people are going to talk about oh why our school is actually more legit, etc, whatever. Seemed like half jealousy and half Stockholm syndrome to me.

Not only are nurses talking about leaving the industry, in the "newbie programmer" groups I help mentor in, there is an alarming number of people who were considering going in to health care/nursing, who are now seriously reconsidering their options, or changing majors in college mid-way through to move into technology/programming.

I guess my point is, not only is the current healthcare labor market at stake, but hiring/pay/working conditions now are having upstream impacts on the labor pipeline of people coming into the market, or evaluating entering healthcare. Having recently gone to the ER with my toddler, I can tell you this is not an area you want the market going for lowest bidder when you do have to use healthcare services.
You see these numbers come out of nursing and teaching regularly. But they both have very high retention rates. Because in both cases, people stay because they would feel bad if they left. They're not there for the money. This is why they're so badly paid. This is why I didn't go into teaching: you cannot compete with people who will work for emotional rewards instead of cash.
This poorly written article felt like a bridge to nowhere. After
reading through two or three minutes of subtle slights against software
freedom it seemed to end halfway through a thought, as if the author

before hitting send. I literally had to check the HTML code for an
end-tag to make sure the transfer hadn't been interrupted.

Amongst the many cavalier platitudes expressed, this one stood out:

decision to make."

Not caring about stuff is never a valid decision to make. Because it's
not a decision. It's just not caring.
Speaking of a recession, I hope the recession isn't another massive redistribution of wealth into the hands of an older generation.

Housing has continued shooting up, as those in the 30s find themselves with fewer assets to buy it with. The low interest rates amortize the costs allowing affordability, but the older generation still gets a massive payout. Then when the economy start recovering back up, the older generations find themselves with all of this liquidity to exploit, while the younger generation is stuck paying off mortgages.

Housing is controlled politically, and holds safety, convenience and schooling hostage. It doesn't play the supply-n-demand game. Thus, it gets to stay unaffected by recession as long as default rate stay low. I am not sure what the mechanism for it is, but I do selfishly wish that housing prices and interest rates will back down to normal sometime soon.
Sure, but it’s a bit like installing Half-Life and then Counter-Strike on top of it in order to more easily play Half-Life. Doom Emacs and Spacemacs are, likewise, almost total conversion mods. Especially if you then also run Evil.
You should not lower your standards, rather adjust them to the context. Know when high standards are appropriate and when you should lower your standards.

Sounds like this Amazon app you worked on just isn’t very important. I’m sure someone tried to get more resources to clean it up. But they couldn’t convince the higher ups of its business value. You could try to be a hero and rescue it. But, without a solid business case showing a causal link to business impact your efforts will go mostly unappreciated.

What do you think of VC-funded "growth" companies that lose money for years while providing products/services at below cost? Is this a case of the free market working or of it being subverted?
Is it possible to have a machine translation that is so good that you get back the original message after the 10 times? I suppose that might depend on what languages you are translating it into and how closely they map to the starting language.
Boy howdy do I agree with this. Filesystems are immensely handy. We (a sometimes competitor of Heroku) shipped persistent volumes very early and it's been amazingly empowering. The DX gets difficult, but we're ironing that out over time
> But the electorate continues to reward "tough on crime" prosecutors.

Do you believe that people who vote for "tough on crime" prosecutors are seeking harsh punishment of mistakes?

Or do they want criminals acting in malice to have the book thrown at them so other people aren't needless victims?
Tsk, downvoters.... you know you'd do the same. I'm just being honest.
How long did it take you to break 100k? Be sure to include those pre-employed years when you didn't even know what 'if' statement meant. A nurse can hit that in 6 years easy through BSN+NP, and that's starting at literally NOTHING. (Alternatively there's a like path for PAs to practice in a mid-level practitioner role that is comparable to NP in those same 6 years)
I had much better experience with GCP Cloud Run. Prepare a OCI/Docker image, type `gcloud run` with a few flags and you’re done. In 2021 they added a bunch of features which in my opinion make Cloud Run one of the most trivial ways of deploying containers indented for production usage.
If Apple and Samsung's products were quality and durable, this probably wouldn't be an issue. But instead they're being greedy with undue markup and making cheep accessories. This probably wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't for cables that stop working.

One note about the consoles.

The Xbox Series X has two modes

- Instant On (uses about 10-11W in standby)
- Energy Saver (uses about 1-2W in standby)

I think it defaults to "instant on" which is ludicrous. Energy saver mode is better, and still supports downloading updates if required.
Physically, yes. The difference is whether you let the compiler generate and hide the shift-and-mask ops, or code them by hand. Normally it is better to leave details to the compiler. This is the exception to that rule.

A result of people avoiding declaring bit fields in serious use cases has been that compiler vendors didn't worry too much about bitfield codegen bugs.

Probably Gcc and Clang are OK on x86, by now. But that does not carry to, e.g., obscure microcontrollers. Heaven help you if your bit field members are supposed to correspond to hardware register sub-fields.
Ask HN: How would you invest $1M for passive income/cash flow?
The point is that I know nurses that make 200k a year and still complain about the workload. More nurses and better hours is the solution. Meanwhile the trend is to make it more and more difficult to become a nurse and higher and higher for hospitals to have nurses
Don't invest for the winners in the recession.

Invest near the depths of the recession for the winners of the recovery where everything looks like its on a firesale.

The problem is of course timing the bottom. And resisting the emotional urge to think nothing could ever recover.

The 2020 extraordinarily V-shaped recovery surprised me a lot.

Given that nothing financial is really popping that hard and a lot of the headwinds we're facing now are just high commodities prices, bullwhip effects from the pandemic, and China is shutting down again, all of those factors are likely to be temporary so any near-term recession is likely to be V-shaped as well.

I suspect this is just a correction and we're close to maximum pessimism and investors should start looking for what to buy in the near term. And if you didn't already sell then you're probably too late and would be looking at locking in any losses that you had and missing the rebound.

But this is a description of conditions as they are today, not a crystal ball of the future. If something detonates tomorrow everything could change (and literally if Russia launches some nukes at Kiev tomorrow everything may change in an instant -- but I'm more considering a financial detonation).
FAANG companies have P/E ratios orders of magnitude higher than 'traditional' industries. They are expected to make a 'lot of money'. Making 'good money' will lead to stock crashes as we saw with Meta and Netflix.
I am familiar with UoP too, but I got the impression UoP was that it was very much amateur in it's operation. A bunch of idealistic people trying to make education have zero cost barrier to entry. It's simply not feasible to run a college like that at this time. WGU and UoP can not rightfully be put in the same basket.
I'm at a small startup (about 8 engineers) and for the most part Heroku has been a great solution for a team of our size.

However, the recent github incident was a major PITA for us, and has us seriously considering leaving the platform for the first time. We're still working on getting all of our automated deployments back up and running.

In addition, we had just put in some work to start using the Review Apps feature, which now seems to be gone for the foreseeable future.
No, you first find people who want to go into management, then you give them management responsibilities without promoting them until they prove they can handle it.
You may be interested un what game theory indicates about this.

I'm not a specialist of it, just a book I read years ago.

Basically: you wrote some code and didn't know how to make money of it, otherwise you would have.

If someone reuses your code (according to the license of your choice), there is a chance that you get something out of it. It may be recognition (something to add to your resume) or maybe a job offer or be paid for specific development as a contractor or just to help that firm's dev team make the most of your code.

So releasing your code publicly is an appeal for cooperation. Without doing it, well, nobody makes money out of your code but you don't either.

Classic example: A and B are two persons with no connection. You tell B you will get $1 if he/she accepts that A get $10. Otherwise both get nothing.

Most people prefer having nothing than having the extra $1.

If don't know how to monetize the code you wrote, well... game theory pleads in favor of being in cooperation mode. You may get only a small fraction at first of the profits but by cooperating, you're in the game. That is then up to you to make the relation evolve so that you get your fair share at some point.

The other answers display the variety of what people get out releasing their code. It varies a lot from a person to another.

The difficult part is to stay in an healthy relationship, e.g. where all parties are happy. If you can't stop complaining about being treated unfairly, that won't work. But the firm using your code should know as well its own interest in the relationship, so they should want you happy.
I mentioned in the note that it's not legal C, since ternaries must yield rvalues in C. It is legal C++, however, since there ternaries may be lvalues.
>I mean that "an average increase of n°C" doesn't mean "it's now always n°C warmer than 100 years ago". If much of the year is only 0.5°C warmer and the occasional heat-wave several degrees warmer, then you can still end up with an average that's much lower than the top of the heat-wave spike.

These ideas are statistically possible, but that doesn't mean that they're physically reasonable. A 1 C increase is proportionally an 0.3% increase in the actual temperature. You don't expect a whole lot of nonlinear effects by default. The effect I'm concerned with comes mostly from heat stored in the ocean, which is not that unstable. Now, if you want to talk about fires or hurricanes or something, sure, that's complicated.

Most of the things that would cause increased variability do not apply. Moving snow lines don't matter because it's India (and not near the mountains). Wind isn't that important because temperature gradients are small at the equator. Cloud cover is very low in India in April and it isn't high right now (we're talking about a local atmospheric high, that's not cloudy). Changes in albedo, kinda-maybe, but it's the end of the dry season so things are already as brown as they get. Changes in evaporation/precipitation, again, it's the end of the dry season in India. You could make a case for shifts in the tropopause or whatever but that's why I said "probably" and not "definitely".

Most of my post was about the fact that a +1 C contribution to a +10 C excess temperature is more important than it sounds at first. I don't feel like combing through Indian temperature records to prove a lazy ceteris paribus, but if we were in a bar I'd bet ten bucks that I'm within a factor of two.
