When you lift weights, you can choose a weight that’s appropriate to you. When it gets too heavy, you stop. When you’re finished, you rest for a day or two. When you feel a twinge, you easy up or take a rest day.

When you’re lifting heavy things for a job, you lift whatever needs to be lifted in whatever motion it needs, with incentives to do it quickly. If you’re tired, you lift it anyway. If you feel a twinge, you probably ignore it because it’s probably nothing. Then you do it again the next day regardless of whether you feel like it.

Some of that can be mitigated by workplace rules, but it needs pretty radical overstaffing or acceptance of considerably slower work, neither of which Capital is a big fan of.
> I didn’t misread it, I read it correctly. Others put meaning into the slave debate, at the time this wasn’t as big as we make it today - it was propaganda and the rewriting of history that made it larger.

The first two paragraphs of South Carolina's articles of secession say, "We are seceding because our constitutional right to own slaves is being violated by northern states."

The outcome of the slave issue had serious consequences for the propertied class in the South, too. Did you know that, apart from Southern slave owners, most slave owners of the era were paid for their slaves when they were freed? Even the citizens of Haiti, who earned their freedom through violent rebellion, were eventually forced to repay France for "stealing" themselves for their owners.

It's not propaganda to point at the words of the slave states; it's propaganda to throw sand in the eyes of people seeking to understand what actually happened. I grew up in Mississippi; I saw the battlefield of Vicksburg as a child, I understand the need to relate to those folks. And I understand the feelings of injustice that well up when you and your community are reductively maligned as being nothing but outright racists, or when a statement like "The Civil War was fought over slavery" is then extrapolated to a statement as obviously untrue as "All southerners fought in the war so that they could preserve slavery."

But southerners are full of self-justifying lies, too.

> The fact there was a “fugitive slave act” was because of that undermining by the north.

And what else was the North to do? Do you believe that slavery is immoral? If a runaway slave hitched a train into your state and knocked on your front door, would you send them back to bondage?

This is why the legal question is a dodge: the moral question speaks too strongly. Read the passage I quoted from Grant again, top to bottom. He is as vivid on the question as any writer I have read. And he was there, and you and I were not.

It seems like every celebrity had their shot at a sitcom in the 90s for example. Is it like the saying about nobody getting fired for buying IBM? But then, risk-taking within that narrow space was limited. From the Seinfeld Wikipedia article:

'The pilot was first screened to a group of two dozen NBC executives in Burbank, California, in early 1989. It did not yield the explosion of laughter garnered by the pilots for the decade's previous NBC successes like The Cosby Show and The Golden Girls. Brandon Tartikoff was not convinced the show would work. A Jewish man from New York himself, Tartikoff characterized it as "Too New York, too Jewish".'

It was almost not even aired.

Squid Game seems to have been a gamble. I'd like to see more like that, but I'm afraid they'll over-fit to that success as well. US remake perhaps? Sequels, prequels, spin-offs. "The 100 must-see dystopian Korean horror shows on Netflix 2023“?
Agree here. Programming is a social discipline that should encourage discussions, rather than the enforcement of dogmas. I once worked in a team where the goal for a PR was to have as little lines changed as possible - never again.
I think that in your tweens your identity is more tied up with music than later on. In my and my friends' case we would literally define ourselves in terms of music: the bands we'd listen to signalled a lot about who we were and how we felt about the world. I guess if you do that, you're also more emotionally invested in the music.

Microsoft has a strong stance of backwards compatibility, but they achieve this by freezing the The Old Thing as much as possible and keeping it working as is.

Then, they come up with The New Thing every few years, which is not backwards compatible and only handles 20% of what the old thing did + a few new things, but they promise this is the future and will eventually have all the features. The Old Thing is always there if you want it, so there's no reason to revolt when this happens.

The New Thing will eventually be replaced by a Newer Thing, get frozen in its current status, and the Newer Thing will be promised to be the future.

A nice example is Windows GUI. The Old Thing is GDI. Then they invented WinForms in .NET, then WinForms was abandonned in favor of WPF, then WPF was abandonned in favor of Metro/Modern/Universal apps, and last I checked they had some new HTML+JS-based stack available. All of these frameworks still work - you can take an app built with any of them and run it on the latest Windows, and you can even build a new App based on any of them and still find resources for it etc. But none of the old ones are getting new features, and MS will steer you to one of the newer ones instead.

The same kind of thing happened with communication frameworks (COM, then WCF, then???), with ORMs (ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, Entity Framework, Entity Framework Core) and I'm sure others.

I've been developing SPAs as an independent contractor for over 8 years, and not a single of those SPAs is public facing - they are all enterprise line-of-business apps used internally. Sometimes I wondered how employing a team of 10-15 developers to develop an SPA for 1-2years (plus maintenance) is profitable, if your targeted user audience is 2,000-3,000 internal employees of that business.

My current gig for a smaller corp (<50 employees) I am with 3 other developers (1 FE, 2 BE) and all that team has been doing for almost 1.5 years is to develop a SPA webapp that is exclusively used by the on-call phone support staff, which are no more than 4 actively working supporters at the same time. Admittedly, the business customers deal in huge amounts of money so having qualified phone support is a must here, and upselling/sales also happens on those calls.
Sure, it may be suited for large enterprise customers. But no early stage startup should start on AWS imo
Germany could have cancelled their nuclear shutdown process. But saving face is more important than Ukrainian lives.
It's a pretty fluid term (and maybe fading from use except in the 1st gen stuff?) and different implementations have different strengths and weaknesses. I think something developer friendly and high level like fly.io, Cloud Run, etc will be a sweet spot.

The usage of the term is even further muddied by its usage to describe some SaaS APIs, like AWS calls DynamoDB a serverless database. Maybe Google Sheets will be called a serverless spreadsheet next.

About AWS Lambda specifically, it's a pretty low level building block for web facing cases, using it directly makes you spend a lot of time in web -> lambda wiring using API Gateway, authentication, juggling either the anachronistic zip files for deployment or dealing with all the container registry & container CICD logistics, setting up a lot of fine grained authorization IAM roles, trust relationships, etc, all the aws provided monitoring and logging stuff necessitated to troubleshoot all that, and the infra-as-code for all of the above which is tedious but necessary to keep any kind of sanity in managing the complexity. But in the running costs it does save you a few bucks of per month compared to the overpriced always-on EC2 stuff in AWS especially if your service is low volume, or high volume with spiky load.
> Uh...Germany's actually recarbonized by shutting down their nuclear [increasing coal and imported electricity to pick up the slack].

No, they did not -- look at the fourth chart in https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c... . There's no "increasing coal". The recent changes in nuclear and coal generation correlate rather than anti-correlate. You'd need them to anti-correlate for the thing that you're claiming to be true.
People do both, every day, what is your point?
> in fact you could argue that their denuclearization is the very reason Russia has so much leverage in the situation

If we had more nuclear power, this wouldn't change much, if anything

Lifting, twisting, turning, etc heavy things isn’t intrinsically bad, but it is intrinsicallyr risky. In a gym environment you have the ability to control that risk.

As a lifter you have full control over how many reps you do, you have all the time in the world to make sure your form is good before lifting, you don’t need to move around while carrying that weight, and you’re lifting conveniently-shaped weights.

Also, even the most well-maintained mechanical device will eventually suffer from material fatigue when put under load for significant amounts of time. Our bodies are no different.

> Clickhouse (instead of Postgres), so most queries are orders of magnitude faster.

is a bold statement. They designed very differently.

Try to do O(1) look up with a primary key and see which one is faster?

Clickhouse shine in batch queries where you retrieve multiple row at a time. Its 30x faster than Postgres from my benchmark

Clickhouse sucks when you need data integrity, primary key can be duplicated. People use MergeTree engine to dedupe, but even so, dedupe doesn't guarantee the absence of duplication primary key. So at query time you have to call Aggregate Function.

Inserting small data frequently will also make Clickhouse choke. You cannot simply have it accept random write. Always have to batch.

But good thing is ClickHouse has amazing integration with Postgres such as replication through logical replication, foreign data wrapper so you can query Postgres table inside Clickhouse

Hey congrats on the launch! The site looks amazing, i've been digging into everything. There's a lot more going on than what seems at first glance and it's super fun to peek around and discover :D - can you share a little more details about the backend and how you manage to keep all these in sync, seems to be a lot of work there as well and it'd be interesting to learn more about your tools/process. It's very rare to see creative projects like these that go beyond a simple PoC and actually have plenty of effort and development behind them, so many kudos also for that, it's very hard to manage both creativity and sticking to a plan (i'd be interested in learning how you manage that as well :) Is this app part of the solution? Thanks and keep it up!
Its a much nicer experience for moving around large sums of money. I have heard of a fair few people who use it primarily for funding angellist investments since its more hassle free than a wire.
You're confusing German gas consumption and German electricity consumption. It couldn't escape my attention that many people especially from the US make this fatal mistake (presumably because of the prevalence of natural gas electricity generation in the US - almost 40% in the US, compared to ~15% in Germany). In Germany, the vast majority of gas is being used for heating or for industrial purposes (chemistry etc.). This is not (yet) substitutable by other electricity sources.

Even if the denuclearization hadn't taken place, they'd still be dependent on Russian gas for at least a significant part of their gas supply. They can always substitute basically any gas shortfalls in the electricity sector simply by increasing coal generation, since there's a lot of unused capacity now that renewables leaped massively, and even replacing all the gas currently being used for electricity generation (because there's so little of it!) with coal would not even reach the levels of coal generation that Germany had as recently as just five years ago, so the coal plants can simply somewhat increase their output for a while. What Germans currently don't have is any way to not freeze to death and keep the industry running without Russian gas.

Yes! Yes I would! I currently live about 4 miles away from a coal plant. I know it's giving us various health issues the slow way.
I'd much rather live next door to a nuclear plant. Even if you falsely assume we'd have a Chernobyl-style disaster every 10 years once we switched most of our coal plants to nuclear power (which would be extremely unlikely with competent system planning and operation, things we have learned well by now) - it would still be much safer with nuclear once you realize the health costs of coal plants - nuclear simply is the way to go.
I'm not anti crypto, I simply argue that the problems alleged by OP don't really exist except in the mind of people who once had a bank twenty years ago. By and large, if I want something that holds its value pegged to the US dollar, I hold a US dollar. Moving a US dollar costs me nothing anywhere in the world. Moving a USDT or whatever means I now have to set up an exclusive banking relationship with someone I trust even _less_ than my bank. Maybe it solves a problem for some subset of the globe, but I'm not convinced their problems are the noble ones stated above.

Scroll up to read about the HNer required to carrying $1M in insurance for having more than 10kW in solar on their roof, which is just...insane. Solar is mired in bullshit to make it seem dangerous, make it look ugly, make it as complex and expensive to install as possible. That's how you end up with regulations requiring what looks like an electrical substation on the side of your home, covered in neon-colored labels. Gotta make sure someone knows the system is "RAPID SHUTDOWN EQUIPPED" from 100 feet away!

Electrical grid operators want you to buy electricity, not make it for them. Their nightmare is becoming "just" a grid.

Their biggest nightmare, however, is you realizing that you no longer need them at all. Lots and lots of people, especially those out in suburban or rural areas, could easily go off-grid these days. Homes are better insulated, heatpumps are quite common, solar costs a fraction of what it used to, lithium ion battery prices are crashing and LiFePo batteries are getting commonplace, etc. So what's a utility to do? Push microinverters that require a grid connection and so on.

I have tried to faithfully summarize the video here. If you notice a mistake or omission, please correct me.

Rossmann’s main message: “to complain about something that is an option rather than complain about all of the options that are missing misses the forest for the trees”.

Key points:

1. For certain repairs, Apple’s repair program has “made availiable the exact same OEM parts and tools that they use” via rental. Renting these tools is optional and not required; Rossmann recognizes that while he (and in his opinion, most people) will likely not use these tools, their availability is a non-issue.

2. Sean Hollister’s article in The Verge was highly critical of the entire self-repair process, and called out the weight and price of this completely optional tool rental. Per Rossmann, “part of the problem with tech journalism in general is… focusing on the things that are easy rather than focusing on the things that matter”.

3. Rossmann reminds us that the right-to-repair fight is far from over. Board schematics and individual components are still not available even to authorized repair shops. He argues that these would enable him to more efficiently perform repairs.

4. Rossmann: While the tech press’s complaints are “making the right to repair people look like… fools”, “it is important to [know] that they don’t represent us [normal repair shops and average users]”.
This is the approach to take now IMHO.

We generally wait for an entire series before starting to watch anyway (so we can watch at a pace we want, rather than having it strung out over weeks) so it is not much hardship to just sign up to a service for a month or two at a time and then "bleed it dry" of things you are watching then move on to another service.
Facebook used to be server side PHP and it always was personalized. I think the distinction is more about the degree of interactivity. Highly interactive GUIs (the hell of jQuery developers) went to SPAs and are called webapps. Low interaction GUIs could be server side rendered with the technologies of 20 years ago even today. Most banking sites are low interaction and could be old style Java even if almost every one I see is a SPA now. The distinction is very fuzzy.
That was great thanks for sharing.

So we should ignore that crypto is being used a fraction of the time as much as financial products that are worth several times less, because global markets are large? Should every product have a 1 trillion plus valuation because global markets are large?

I just never actually see evidence that crypto has taken over global finance or is well on its way to doing so.
