As best I can tell, you posted it, and then a brand new account replied to it three times in quick succession. This has all the hallmarks of someone submitting a "Thing" and then creating a fake account to boost its apparent popularity. It might not have been you, but it follows a familiar pattern that people really, really don't like.

So in part I suspect people thought it looked deeply suspicious, flagged the obvious spam replies, then moved on to flag the submission.

So if it was you doing that, now you know. If it wasn't you doing it, then you were simply unlucky.

EDIT: I've vouched for the original, but I suspect it won't get back onto the "New" page, so it won't get much traffic. At least you have the other submission now, and this one is no longer marked as "[Flagged][Dead]".
In 2006, the recession meant a tight jobs market for me for around a year, but after things started to open up a bit, a lot of new (and in some cases, unskilled) developers did not return to the market.
Houska is different - small non sweet bun like a hamburger bun, vánočka is long and braided, sweet with raisins inside. Houska is single servings, vánočka is sliced like bread.

I just buy whatever is available. I've never noticed the difference between Samsung AXX and Samsung SYY. It takes calls, pictures, emails and texts, can auth, slack and alert me for meetings.

Who cares about everything else?
Funny you'd mention this. I installed Audacity a few hours ago and much to my dismay the application informed me upon starting it for the first time that update checks were enabled by default - in other words, Audacity had already called home and I couldn't have done anything to stop it from doing so.

So yes, they deserved the abuse.
I agree that state can be removed in Terraform.

But I do not believe leveraging tags and/or metadata is the right approach - configuration for these resources could potentially be large (e.g. GKE resources) and most providers will have a size constraint on their metadata and tag values. Creating a metadata/tag key for each configuration key would also get messy, but solves the value size problem.

Why wouldn’t it be possible to not store the previous state at all? Terraform’s job is to reconcile what exists with what is declared - we should be able to rely on the provider’s APIs to understand what exists, perform the diff, and reconcile the changes.
Cool! Can be used in production already?

It's completely useless, the only stuff we get is useless recognition like "Thanks iLoveOncall for helping me fix that bug" or "Congrats for your first CR NewJoiner4528".

> Everyone. CCS cars can charge on all CCS chargers on all charging networks, including Tesla's charging network. That's the advantage of a common standard:

I don't know about the situation in the US, but in Europe v2 and v3 superchargers support CCS as well, as do Model 3 and Model Y out of the factory. For the Model S and Model X there is an adapter available, allowing them to use CCS as well.

https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/supercharger#ccs contains some additional information regarding CCS support.
Sorry I don't have more helpful feedback than this, but I wanted to call out that Spanish in Spanish is español, not española.

Good luck with this!
The super-annoying thing about that, is that you need a Sync-Server, and an "Identity" server to run this all without having sign in to "Firefox Sync".

The sync-server is trivial to run via docker, but (last time i checked) running the other essential part yourself is (intentionally?) not easy at all.
Good point! Thanks.
My government does that: I can have a smart card that, with the appropriate protocols, can issue a cryptographic legally recognized proof that I am who I am.
Thank god a search engine that try to sell you stuff. Glad it is open sourced. Are they from Scandinavia?
How do you mean “stop a song playing automatically”?

I always assumed that was the default behaviour of music players and that Spotify was the outlier on continuing to play related songs after your playlist had ended (it being a “feature” of Spotify).
I haven't really tried using Edge for general use, but I do use it whenever I want text-to-speech. That's a lot better in Edge than other options I've tried.
Modern marketing makes me mad sometimes. They call something "serverless" while in fact it runs on their servers somewhere in the world, where you have even less control than on your cloud. Though, I believe it was popularized by Amazon, which doesn't care much about being honest in its expansionism.
Yep, the Bay Area somehow got lucky with the nexus of high tech being here. Without these jobs, this area wouldn’t have a whole lot to offer

The docs are available on https://neon.tech/docs/cloud/about/ . It contains some information, but we're looking to expand that while working towards a public beta that's arriving soon.
FOMO is part of it I think. They hear about people making life-altering amounts of money and they want to get in on it. At least some of them probably also figure this is their one shot at a comfortable living.
It just doesn't have the important features (impromptu voice chats, mainly). Same deal with Element. Maybe soon™, but until then I don't find it fit for all-round collaboration.
I would really love to use Firefox Sync. But I don't want all my browsing history at Mozilla. Is it possible to run self-hosted Sync?
Chef too. VERY common to store state in Chef server to pass info between executions.
You should update your HN profile :). Neon looks really great. Far more interesting to me and my team than S2.

I noticed you mention Azure BS in your RFCs as a potential backend. Have you done much work towards that yet?
My guess is the only reason why Europe has a more sophisticated discussion about race and racism now than it did in the 50's is because of American influence. I say this as a European. There simply are not the sizeable minorities in europe to push these issues into the public discourse, and as such, without exposure to US culture, most people's views on race tend to be only lightly modified from traditional views, which are extremely racist.
How funny, the UI is the main reason I've ditched Zulip (after all, what's important about software besides UI?).
Firefox is lacking many major enterprise controls making it unsuitable for many large companies. An example of this is the lack of ability for administrators to apply additional restrictions on the domains specific extensions can access. Other basic enterprise features that are missing are the inability to force restarts when updates are available.
Funny, I've done the opposite. Firefox has always been my default as far as I can remember but for the past several releases it has been heavy in terms of macOS memory. The author is obviously using Windows, but on macOS it is the opposite. Every startup, Firefox seems to throttle my MBP fans and will get sluggish as I keep on using it.
Mozilla really can’t win can they? They’re the only browser company that even attempts to provide the ability to run your own syncing service, and yet the insinuation is that they’re going out of their way to make it difficult.
Would say that half of the point with Terraform is that you have a canonical expected view of the infrastructure and the state as a log to assert that in each environment. It forces you to do all changes in a code first manner. Terraform only solves the provisioning part and is easier to work with than Ansible. One need something like Ansible too for configuration though.
another thing to point out when visiting the site from UK I am met with option of languages, welsh (UK flag) and English (US Flag). :|
Wales has its own flag and and english you can use the UK or England flag if you wanted to distinguish regions

I have used this website a few times, I’m not a plant expert, but I found the results credible.
While I agree that it won't tell you if a candidate is good, it will often show very quickly that a candidate is absolutely terrible.

My warm-up questions are usually something like "reverse a singly-linked-list" or "check if a string is a palindrome", and you would be surprised at how many people have just no clue on how to do it, even with a lot of help (and I work in a FAANG so we should be getting decent candidates).
Sync is E2E encrypted, so while Mozilla host an encrypted file they don’t have access to your data.

(yes, it’s also possible to run your own sync service.)
That's one small step for man, but one giant leap for mankind.
> Trend One - the shift to empowered teams that own a business or product domain. Although many feature factories still churn out software, the companies that are able to shift key parts of the product decision making process into the teams producing the software are gaining an edge. Marty Cagen writes about this difference in his classic blog product teams vs feature teams

> Trend Two - DevOps. In addition to working in the left hand side of the software lifecycle, teams are also now beginning to operate the software that resides within their sphere.

If developers are now expected to figure out the business case, design the product, write the code and operate the production servers, what exactly is the rest of the company doing?
I am working on OpenStreetMap renderer in Nim - see https://github.com/severak/lunarender3/ (but work somewhat stalled)

I needed some language which is:

- compiled to binaries

- and really fast

- has needed libraries (HTTP server, protocol buffers, sqlite and image generation)

- it's easy to set up

It was nice experience and Nim simply worked for my needs. People on Nim forum were nice and helped me when I ran into problems. It has nice and usable built-in library and I was really impressed by graphic library pixie - https://github.com/treeform/pixie

I would use Nim again when I when I will see this application is suited for it (e.g. some command line apps).

> Sign language has less bandwidth than speaking...

Do you have a citation for this claim? The research I can find seems to show that signers and oral speakers convey concepts at roughly the same rate with ASL perhaps slightly more efficient than orally spoken english.

(Signers use fewer signs per second than oral speakers do words but compress more information into each sign, or perhaps simply omit extraneous information that has no effect on the meaning.)
The top comment doesn't mention salaries, so I don't know where you're getting those numbers from
FireFox Containers are a killer feature for me. It allows you to run sandboxed sessions. So you can ostensibly make every site a private tab by default but have a small few sites persistent.

Eg I’ll have a work group with GitHub, Okta, etc in it so I only need to log in once a day. But random websites cannot track me between sites.

Couple that with DNS blocking of trackers and ads, and the web is actually a lot more pleasant to use.

Unfortunately you cannot fix everything locally though.
"really accurate" that wasn't my experience of the leap motion at all, we had one alongside an occulus rift dev kit in a museum I worked for and it was essentially impossible to use, even for their inbuilt demo games. We got a replacement and had the same experience so just gave up on it.
This resonates with me SO MUCH. One time I aced a code test but didn't answer the questions about complexity in "big O" notation because I lack that formal training. My code 100% exposed my understanding of computational complexity but they wanted specific words regurgitated. Ran into that manager at a burn, bagged on him (we're friends!) a bit about it.
Take slowly increasing amounts of time off - think of it as helping to build team resilience. In all seriousness it's a necessary part of team health, and a pre-planned, well-communicated few days is absolute "easy mode" that they can use to ladder up to the inevitable unknown-unknown they will someday have to face.

If nothing else, you will someday retire!
I like the idea of the two modes.

From what I observe, most people don't really care about privacy, but the ones who do can be quite, errr, passionate about it, certainly sometimes to the point that nothing is good enough. So it's a difficult market. I worked at a privacy focused cryptographic startup a few years back. It didn't succeed...

At the end of the day, I think you have to differentiate on the strength of the product itself, with privacy being a very nice thing on top of it to the best extent possible.

Ask HN: Why the web lately is all about JavaScript?
I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31341083 recently and feel quite frustrated because now everyone is rendering html using javascript. I'm on twitter reading web stuff, when they talk about "SSR" (server-sided rendering), 99% of the time it means javascript based server. Why these trying-to-be-innovation lately aren't not working with backend languages like python, ruby, elixir, go, rust etc?

I have an SPA app that is quite sophisticated whose WHOLE app size is ~110kB minified, and when I look at react-dom on https://bundlephobia.com/package/react-dom@18.1.0 it's 130kB minified which sounds CREAZY to me compared to my whole app (no, it's not a todo app, it's an editor app)

Is it just me that interpret this situation as "suck", or this is the future?

For now we've focused on making the product production-ready on AWS, so that we can get users to try it out. Once the model has been proven we'll likely branch out to other clouds.

However, if you really can't wait to run Neon on Azure, you could contribute the integration yourself: the code is available under Apache 2 at https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/

Well done and thank you. Not just for the work, but for the attitude
and courage of your convictions that come across clearly in your
comments here on HN.

Search is presently a neighbourhood of technology that's fallen into a
downtrodden ghetto. Maybe you've sowed some seeds that can grow
between the cracks. But I think there are gangs and pushers roaming
the streets that would be happy for it remain derelict.

Thinking about the dynamics of open source, with respect to the many
different interpretations of search that create tension within such a
project: It occurs to me that whenever a somewhat mature project
enters the ecosystem a robust strategy is to immediately clone-fork
multiple identical copies of a project. This is like a "backup
strategy". From there, form several loosely coordinated project groups
that can spread risk, share threat intelligence, but each work with
different models of crawling, filtering, funding, presentation and so
on. Keep the original as an upstream parent. One of the children may
survive.

- Consoles in stockrooms are not making money for the retailer or the platform/brand/manufacturer.

- Sales figures (units shipped) are a marketing point. A product being so in demand that it makes the news is a free marketing campaign.

- Retailer got so many units to sell at a margin/price they already decided on. The fact that the stock moved out the door is a win already. Customers coming inside to find out that there are no PS5s are customers inside the shop.

- It seems likely that Sony/whoever may have some control over the pricing. Whether this is a formal agreement or a gentle suggestion, ignoring or breaking that deal would presumably (at least) sour the relationship.

- Surely the retailer that moves first would lose business to their competitors. I guess at that point, the competitor/s run out of stock and now the first mover is the scalper?

- If we're assuming that the retailers have some altruistic motive, they could implement strategies to combat the bots / buying en masse. This does not appear to be something they are interested in.

> Wouldn't it be better for everyone if the retailers adjusted the prices?

The people who are already priced out will be in the same situation, except now it's the "good guys" doing price gouging. The scalpers will have lost their business to the retailer I guess.
It was my primary reason to drop Chrome twelve years ago. Every so often I try Chrome again, but other than a minor speed boost, I see no reason to switch back.

The UI isn’t great, nor is resource usage. These days I don’t bother installing an alternative browser and just use Safari.
I actually have no opinion on Musk. I just don't care enough to form an opinion.

I just stated that I would have wished for a fact based discussion. I don't know if what the author of the piece stated was true, based in fact, exaggerated or what not. But there were a lot of factual claims to be potentially attacked. Yet OP choose to go the ad hominem route.

My problem is, that this doesn't help me as uninformed outside reader in evaluating the claims of the original piece.

Not sure if this is what OP intended, but probably not. But not engaging on a factual level strengthens the original arguments for the external observer. It is a signal to the ingroup on the cost of loosing credibility with the outgroup.

Edit: Typo
But couldn't this "ossification" of agile be a sign that the manifesto is actually wrong?

A lot of the criticism seems to form around the fact that people actually develop processes around agile, even though agile discourages processes. (And that those processes in the end become empty rituals that hinder development more than support it)

But couldn't this actually be a sign that people in fact need processes to get some kind of routine and system into their work?
foxnews isn't blocked, neither is oann. Infowars and the Kopp Verlag is. This seems to be very much targeted towards actual conspiracy stuff over "Right wing" stuff.

I was trained by the originator of scrum. In the training, this was repeatedly stated as one of the main dangers to avoid. What I got out of it is that scrum is a model, and it is up to a team to iteratively figure out how to apply that model to their situation. It gives a team a framework to manage change.

For example, the scrum model talks about a product owner. The cargo cultists insist that this needs to be a single person, with title of Product Owner. Yeech!

The reality is that the product owner could be a single person, or could model an entire organization that is developing requirements. What the scrum team needs is for these requirements to be made known to them in an orderly manner, and enough autonomy to have a reasonable discussion about them (how realistic they are, the cost, etc).

I've seen a lot of cargo cult scrum failures, and I've seen a lot of actual scrum successes. Over time, the cargo cultists have become the majority, though. That is a shame.
One of my teachers was so awful, I search the web every year for hints of a trial, in which case I will gleefully testify against him.
1. First rule of comments on Hackernews is "be kind". My statement didn't attack any single user on this site. If the user disagreed with me he can simply state that with a counter argument.

2. Conservative pundits have made remarks implying politics/a political party are to blame. I don't think it's politically neutral and that's what I was commenting on. Examples below where the population decline is discussed.

Foxnews - segment on the crime issues and the population decline. Saying that "a rare breed, a Republican" ... "community activist is trying to save his city". Then when talking about the DA and a recall "..who is the notoriously soft on crime DA in San Francisco". [1]

Washington Times - "In recent years, more people have left California for other states than have moved there, a trend Republicans say is a result of the state’s high taxes and progressive politics" [2]

Among all the other extensions that help guard my privacy and improve QoL, Containers is another great feature that integrates well with FF. I like maintaining profiles for privacy and security, and it helps me navigate certain sites where I have different accounts.

I honestly don’t get the lean toward Chrome — or Safari for that matter. I don’t detect such a big jump in performance that I’d ever consider sacrificing privacy to Google’s or Apple’s end. Brave is a nice browser but in the end I don’t see how I’m better off with it. Maybe I’m too much of a layman and don’t understand benchmarks or just don’t pay attention to latency, but purely from a daily driver perspective, I’ve never been happier with Firefox.
