Yeah, maintainability is key.

A lot of people like just managing playlists with a simple graphical console.

This works fine if you just want a playlist now, but you risk things like forgetting why the songs were added to a playlist; or forgetting which songs were in a playlist if the playlist accidentally got deleted.

Sure, describing it with Terraform may be more effort up front, but it saves effort in the long run.
Same but with Google and Chat/Meet. It is just so horrible I cannot believe the devs at Google can dog food it effectively.
NYRB in the nineties when I was reading it was absolutely amazing. I can say that my life and my tastes would be different without it. In the 2000s it got much thinner. The articles were shorter, and under GWB it veered much more into politics. The editors felt that they had to spend their cultural capital on politics under the circumstances, but they spent a lot.

Many years later I got to see the premiere of Scorsese's documentary with Bob Silvers in attendance and it's a cherished memory.
Maybe, but the official serious providers do stuff like this, too. Consider the feature that lets you automatically use the latest Linux or Windows AMI; it changes without you touching your .tf file.

AF 447 was first and foremost a problem between the controls and the seat. The sensor problem you're referring to did not render the plane incapable of flying, but it did remove one level of idiot proofing. As a result one of the pilots pulled the stick back and didn't relent even as the plane stalled. If you did that in a Boeing plane (or any plane) with functioning sensors you'd have the same end result.
There's nothing that says it has to be immutable. It's not uncommon to perform similar searches in e.g. AWS to select the latest version of some AMI or another resource that is subject to change, and applying with no changes to the Terraform code would update the resource. This isn't really "infrastructure" either. It's a neat use case.

> Self-organization does not consume energy any more than entropic decay emits it.

This statement is incredibly wrong - this is exactly what both these processes do. We calculate chemistry reaction kinetics by including entropy terms, and optimize reactions by manipulating the entropy on one side of the equation (a classic is getting a liquid phase to precipitate out as you produce it).

I mean the reason coal can be turned into electricity is because there's a big increase in entropy going from "solid carbon in a specific location" to "CO2 diffused everywhere".

I don't know if anyone remembers the brief craze there was for off-brand Korean monitor imports a few years back.

Basically they had similar panels to the then-current 1440p 27" Apple Cinema Displays but were usually "Grade A-/B/etc." instead of A+. They had the flimsiest, crappiest cases and most primitive controller boards (i. e. no OSD or multiple inputs on many models, just keep tapping the button and trying to get the brightness where you wanted it.). I think the original market for them was domestic, and you pretty much had to order them via eBay or sketchy small retailers.

I suspect what did it in was collapsing prices for mainstream-brand monitors, and a choice-paradox problem (there ended up being dozens of seemingly identical units to choose from with different cases, so the market was probably sliced too think for anyone to succeed).

But the concept is completely viable here. Remember that the name brands have major cost centres you don't-- advertising, a high-touch retail sales channel, the R&D on smart features.

TBH, I'm surprised you don't see more higher-end TVs without speakers. There's always going to be physics-related problems with trying to have really decent speakers in a 5cm deep set. You can target the demographic of people who already have competent audio systems AND save on the BOM!
> Many people would be happy with a larger phone, if it meant you could access it a little easier to repair it — or replace the battery, which most people wouldn’t consider a “repair” — yourself.

I am pretty curious to know if this is true or not. The general HN or r/hardware crowds would be for sure, but I dont actually think the general public would find it a compelling "feature". Most people would probably buy the replacement battery directly from Apple anyway, and if theyre going to do that, I imagine most will just have them replace it too. Plus degradation is fairly minimal now imo, especially within the ~3 year span the average person keeps their phone. I think most people would just prefer to upgrade at that point.

Not to say I dont support user replaceable batteries (I think all phones should have them), I just dont think it actually matters at all to the average user.
Exactly this! It’s amazing how simple it is to add a crypto payment system into an app or write a smart contract.

The hospital that hires the nurse should be responsible for the nurse. Period. Under all circumstances.

The hospital has far too many incentives to play fast and loose and then leave the nurses in the lurch with a system stacked against them. The hospital has far too many incentives to skimp on training and safety. etc.

Should this nurse also have her license looked into? Yeah, it looks like it. And is it up to the hospital to fire her or not? Yes.

However, barring actual proof of premeditation, all charges and fines should land on the hospital--not the nurse.

> the Ethiopian pilots followed Boeing's guidelines on MCAS failure properly.

The Ethiopian pilots did not follow the procedure in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive distributed to all MAX pilots that says:

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any
stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be
used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB
TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be
used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved
to CUTOUT."

> Terraform is for specifying deterministic, idempotent results given a set of conditions and inputs.

No. Terraform is for manipulating state on the other side of an API, including orchestrating the state behind multiple different APIs such that those APIs will be "harmonious" for your use case.

> Music apps like Spotify and Apple Music are about whimsical, serendipitous discovery independent of rational thought. At least, for me, anyway. The two are wholly incompatible.

I beg to differ. If something changes, Terraform makes those changes visible to you, because it keeps notes on what it thought the state was on the other side of the API. For the right use case, being notified of those changes, and possibly deciding to do something else instead, is important.

Need advice: A precarious situation in my polymath career
Fellow hackers,

Ola from a neurodivergent, ADHD polymath. I am in need of some advice, or crowd sourced ideas on what I can be doing or should be doing with my skills & experience in life. I will quickly lay down some of the things I have worked on:

- 5X founder: Education, Organic Farming, Startup Festivals + Media, Outdoor travel, Virtual venture education (micro-accelerators). None of them have given me an exit still or any sort of reasonable financial return. Some of them are active but COVID mostly has made it hard to see it yielding any results in the near future.

15yrs of startup ecosystem building experience in developing & developed economies. Things i have built & part of:
- Ran the office creating mentoring, funding & market development activities for startups at a time when there were 2 VCs operating, now is a thriving ecosystem (probably 4th largest in the world)
- Developed entrepreneurships events at the intersection of disciplines (art+tech, Media+Finance etc) was a huge hit but financially not viable in the part of the world I come from, so shut it down
- Public policy work to develop startup ecosystems
- Various committees & think tanks & advisory work for various communities working in entrepreneurship
- Launched and ran angel syndicates, accelerator programs etc.. as consulting gigs.

Now. I am 41 and have had the greatest opportunity to work on some diverse and impactful projects in my life. I am skilled to manage a board instead of teams, I am killer in strategies not operations. I can work on things that come to fruition in the long run instead of immediate gratification.

I just got diagnosed ADHD, which explains why I am the way I am. :-P. I have come to the cross roads of my life, I need to pick something that keeps me in the world of entrepreneurship & innovation because I am such a fan & a cheer leader & truly believe in the power it has to change people's lives (I have witnessed that in my country from the work we have done).

Anybody here been in this place before, have any ideas or inputs on how you creatively solved this? :-)

Please send me all you can think of what I can do, I am waiting :-) .
They could certainly give 'bill estimates' that are realtime within a few seconds if they wanted to.

But for precise billing they need to handle a bunch of corner cases - things like 'you did this expensive thing while there was a network outage for 36 hours'.
If you think every project out there is some scam, and the entire space is speculation, then you’re in a similar polar opposite bubble to those trading jpegs. There’s loads of cool things going on in the space that allow you to build products that currently requires third parties, huge frameworks, and trust.

> the Max crash is clearly due to corporate greed

Is it? The single path weakness in the MCAS design was not a cost saving measure. I've never seen an explanation for why this mistake was made.
The future of the internet is more simplicity, more optimization for attention from the places we centralize on. Tech doesn't matter that much. The "next big thing" is always something we all kind of get blind sided by. If you writing articles saying this will be it, you're already wrong.
I only got a few sentences into this but I can assure you that I love cleaning my house, and performing various other chores. Work related and otherwise.

If I didn’t do them, my life would be worse than if I didn’t! It’s pretty easy stuff! Embrace the chore, clean up after yourself! It’s worth doing.
No, the best way is not to have people specify what encoding they intend to use--it is instead to not give people a choice. When you give people a choice, given that one encoding is far dominant above all others, many people will start assuming that is the only viable choice regardless of any actual declarations to the contrary.

An example of the latter effect in action is the system charset of Linux and most other Unixen... in practice, virtually every system is using UTF-8 for things like pathnames and the like. However, the mechanism to indicate that this is the case is frequently enough unreliable that it's often less bug-prone to assume the system is UTF-8 anyways.

Of course, there's a few more advantages to always using UTF-8:

* You eliminate the code path of "I'm sorry, I can't save the text that you wrote," since every character is usable in UTF-8, which is a feature very rare outside of UTF-* charsets. And, honestly, that's a wonderful code path to eliminate.

* One of the features of UTF-8 is that virtually any text that isn't UTF-8 will fail to parse as UTF-8. This allows you to build systems that produce errors on bad input, which means that maybe, just maybe, the people who produced the broken input will discover their problem and fix it.
Still deciding; I want it to appeal to general audiences, rather than only techies. Timelinize is taking a lot of my free time (along with a new family life, etc.), so Timeliner isn't being updated right now.

(Also, I'm in the market for a better, available name.)
> I think part of the problem is that we still don't have a standard /bin/sh even though there is a written standard. It feels fair to me to suggest that you can call dash the working standard on Linux, but you can't trust that beyond Linux systems(and I'm ignoring installs that are busybox-based here too).

Why do we need a one true shell that implements the standard? Am I misunderstanding you…? The whole point of a standard is that everyone implements it so the different implementations don’t matter (and everyone does implement it, in the case of POSIX shell, minus a couple things like [ -t ] and some bash defaults).
Which standard string library ever does that?
This is really great!

A few years ago I worked for a small startup using a tiny live/work loft as an office in the heart of downtown San Diego.

We had the exact same issue you describe where 7 guys and 3 gals were all terrified to use the restroom because any little sound could be heard through the wall into the main space.

Because of that we started seeking out other places to deal with nature, which led to the phrase "I'm going to visit the Hilton".

Needless to say by the end of my time working there I knew the nearby Hilton & Marriott hotels in and out, including how to act like a guest to gain access to the better restrooms (although they surely caught on).

At the time I wondered whether a crowd-sourced bathroom finder app would be feasible and purchased the domain thronehunter.com, which I still own to this day!

I understand why they won't give precise bills in real-time, but I wish they'd do real time bill capping, and eat the cost themselves of any usage before the cap kicks in.

There are so many corporate usecases that I want to be able to hand an AWS account to someone and say 'have this was account. Do all your experiments over here. It is capped at your project budget'.
OK, let's bring it back full circle: The context was maths education - not "Should the US teach math?" (to which every layperson can have an opinion), but "How should the US (California) teach math to high schoolers?"

That's as complex of a question as "How should the US regulate Bitcoin (if it were to)". And while it's true that laypeople do have lots and lots of opinions on financial regulations, if there's one thing that HackerNews can agree on is that most lay opinions on financial regulations are not rigorous or serious, and come with unexpected side effects and consequences. (Whether it's taxing billionaires on stock grants or restricting crypto).

So in that sense I do still this requires people with expertise. And gifted math nerds (which I were) that benefited from a dramatically accellerated program have as much knowledge about the subject as a stereotypical redneck saying "We don't need math out on the tobacco farm".
Cheaper? It runs on regular computers, just inefficiently. If that somehow turns out to be cheaper, perhaps it can be used to power a perpetual motion device.

Please don't conflate State Public Employee retirement systems with State Teacher retirement systems. They each have their own rules.

The teacher retirement systems I know of have rules like (age + years_worked)>=80 ==> full pension benefits.

Retiring after 20y will earn you a smaller monthly and is only possible (under that rule-of-80 above) if you start teaching at age 40. Teachers are much more likely to retire after 25+y (age_start=30, age_retire=55).

Yeah Go is basically a scripting language. Most users are coming from Python, Ruby, etc. The original idea that people at Google would migrate to Go from C++ never happened. It’s used as a logs analysis tool that non-CS data scientists can write, with no fancy features at all, to prevent them from crashing batch dataflow pipelines that are running offline, seamlessly scale horizontally, and have no direct production impact if they miss deadlines. The application code for real time serving is all in C++ because Go is too slow and unpredictable at runtime, and the teams are staffed by people with strong software backgrounds. The whole “Go as a systems language” or “Go as a cloud services language” is kind of laughable. It’s like those Tik Toks that say No One: and then it’s Go fans claiming the language has a strong suit other than keeping people who haven’t passed CS 101 from crashing the batch job, productivity speed and control for concurrent real time services be damned.
