You would be suprized.

I know a few people whom keep up on tech trends, even though it has nothing to do with their job.

I follow programming trends, basically through HN, and self study. (I have wasted a lot of money on programming/Computing books.), and I'm basically a Jack of all Trades in life.

I'm a mechanic certain years. I'm a contractor certain years. I'm a Electrician when I am very low on money. I'm a Watchmaker whenever someone asks me what I do. (I hate that last sociatial question. When did it become copacetic to ask for job status, and finances. I guess it came with the Selfie. (I didn't use a question mark on purpose. Too disenfranchised today to care.)

I do miss the days before relying on bloated JS libraries.

I miss the LAMP days for my personal websites.

There was a free server I used to use, but forget it's name.

It allowed full domain names without their branding. Like mysite.com, instead of mysite.com.branding.

I know Git, Google, and Amazon offer a free page, but I just don't like learning their way of putting up a site.

As you can by my verbage, I'm not a professional.

But for some reason I try to stay current on certain aspects of this industry.
I think many devs are really sick of writing 200 hours on 50 files with 20 tools for achieving 2 input boxes. There is a wish for simplicity in UI building no framework can offer (including the terminal ones).
> how DateTime works with UTC

What do you mean by that? I know that the timezone definitions in txdb are not the same as the ones MS uses on Windows, but it doesn't sound like you're talking about that.
> By the way, please don't use the New York Times as a source for anything. It's both paywalled and notoriously biased.

I could give you a number of other credible sources to verify that hospitals were in fact exceptionally strained at several points last year, a verifiable and true statement that you do not believe in. You are welcome to provide a source for your claims, I'm sure it would come from a very good, unbiased source.

> The jury went home a year ago dude, you just can't accept what they found. There is no correlation between severity of countermeasures and outcomes (when looking at countries with reliable data). This has been examined six ways from Sunday and the results are always the same - no correlation

You are wrong again. To just focus on one example, here is a paper published in Science last year, suggesting various distancing measures produced significant reductions in transmission of COVID [1]. I would advise you to follow your own advice and have a look at the evidence, because in this short discussion you were proven factually wrong twice already.

The compatibily issues with NodeJS dependencies (aka CommonJS modules) and ES6 modules is one of the most painful parts of Javascript today. But at the same time, I wonder if it could have been avoided. Afaik NodeJS was pioneering dependency management at the time, and all modern dependency systems (ES6, Python PipEnv, Go modules, Rust Cargo) drew inspiration from it. So it's understandable that NPM made some mistakes in the beginning
> Node DOES not read package.json

It does when you use ESM, it checks whether there's "type": "module" in package.json.
At the other extreme I love what Stardew Vally does here; saves are cross-platform and in a simple XML format. You can edit it and people even make things like https://upload.farm/ to share games and ideas.
While senior engineers don’t make NFL wages, the executives do (including some former senior engineers). Would it be fair to compare execs to NFL player instead? (While engineers are those work behind the scene to support the game)
Rural Poland, $25/month for 40Mbit download/4Mbit upload. The price is pretty much static, and the bandwidth is limited by the copper wires. Started with 128kbit connection back in the day. They are laying fiber in my village, so some day I can expect to have 100Mbit+ connection for the same price.
It's not like developers forbid us to sit in a room together. We still regularly organize one, even if some of the games use cloud infrastructure.

I am "just another programmer" (more familiar with PHP and Go than with Node however), but when some Node module in some project I have to work on starts throwing the kind of obscure errors mentioned in this article, I sometimes feel like an Amish farmer...
Yeah unfortunately there are a few people on the thread complaining that the issue persists despite being marked "Solved"
If the tools are useful to their target market, great. I've seen lots of these things come and disappear. Some of them seemed useful and actually made software development accessible to non-programmers -- HyperCard and Dreamweaver, for example.

You don't need to change my mind. I'm a professional programmer and none of the work I do is in the domains no-code/low-code tools (or even less, GPT-3) are aimed at. These things don't threaten my livelihood; my experience has been they create more work for skilled programmers.

I don't think it'd be a fool-proof mitigation but something I believe would move beyond a single point of failure (which, evidently, savegames alone are) is to hash the saves. You can then upload saves that match either one of your own hashes.

Hopefully, the system would be architectured so that even if the saves themselves went missing the table of hashes is still around.

Older dependencies, of course, might contain security vulnerabilities that have been patched in more recent version updates. Its a frustrating choice: stay on old versions and risk exposure to old vulns, or stay up-to-date and risk supply chain attacks.
> The decision to make AWS created 100s of billions of dollars of value

I can make decisions to create something all day, none of it makes any money unless effort is put into it's creation. Product and engineering and design made AWS which allowed the company to make billions. The marketing team after that.
I think that's only fair if you have paid for the content in a way that is intended to be transient (like a theatre show, concert, etc). But when you pay for content in a way that is intended to be frequently played back (like a CD, book or computer game) then I think there is a fair expectation that content is persistent. This whole shift to "you license content, not own it" is a modern trend that has left many feeling cheated because it gives the illusion of persistence while giving the service providers complete control to remove your access at any time they wish.
I have worked with many offshore developers as well as private contactors in India, China and Eastern Europe. There are absolutely many cases of people working on multiple things at once (especially in support) when they are supposed to be exclusively working on one thing. It's been very common to see only half of the team actually "working", many times experts have been learning as they go along with less experience than I have in a particular area (I've very much a jack of all trades). However, I've built up many good relationships with excellent and committed staff over the years. If it was my own money, I'd absolutely be wanting to verify that the staff were working the agreed hours and getting stuff done. However in the most part it's not been in my best interest to get involved in those kind of discussions.
Cloud Infrastructure Part I: Data and Machine Learning (2022)
Yes. There are a few companies in this space already. If you scan through https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?industry=Infrastructur... you'll see some.

There are hosting providers that are both simpler and cheaper than AWS, like Digital Ocean or Hetzner. People who chose AWS probably want the additional features. So make sure that, for some kind of users, you're better than both.
Actually I did a study on this (I'm a PM for a small server company) about a year ago with data scraped from a popular US based online vendor.

For PSUs >1000 watts, I found that server supplies are cheaper both on a relative (more watts / dollar) and absolute cost basis than ATX form factor supplies.

Internet service seems pretty expensive relative to other costs for the Philippines. Is it? Or is it just my wrong thinking?
the original FTTP plan was never going to FTTP the entire country. most of australia - in the spatial sense of "most" - is sparsely inhabited and fixed-line is uneconomic. the original plan was always satellite + wireless + FTTP, based on density and perhaps a bit of political pork barrelling, and it is quite likely that the original design of which regions would be serviced by which tech was also somewhat optimistic, and might need to have been adjusted, even if the FTTP plan wasn't torn up by the liberal-national coalition

(the original FTTP plan was replaced with a "multi technology mix" plan -- the new federal government argued that their plan would be cheaper because instead of laying new fibre, just buy the existing degraded legacy copper lines from telstra, and also buy and reuse the HFC from telstra and optus.

so instead of spending tens of billions of dollars of public money building brand new infrastructure, spend tens of billions of dollars of money and reuse existing degraded infrastructure! think of the savings!

from memory getting the HFC regions to actually work was a bit of a fiasco, that part of the rollout was heavily delayed.

anyhow, it is great to see the coalition lose another federal election, albeit entirely unrelated reasons)
Does fastmail do anything with encryption?
I think the problem was using Node in the first place - most the article is fighting node + NPM nonsense. I personally try to avoid Node + NPM where I can these days, and use Deno for backend stuff since it is much more sane IMO. I've never heard of people putting typescript into a .js file - is that some node thing?

Modules in the browser for vanilla JS is a delight and Just Works though. I've started doing it recently and it is lovely - no need for a bundler/compile step. There are concerns about load performance if there ends up being many modules, but you can do on-demand module loading via vanilla javascript (import returns a promise IIRC) for when that happens.

This is something I've been training and forcing myself to do. If I spend 10 - 15 minutes thinking about some piece of code or infrastructure to understand why it's here and what it does... add whatever you learned and found out as a comment.

1. El Paso, Texas (USA).

2. ISP: Spectrum (only choice; apartment)

3. Speed: 1GB down, 35mbps up (up is a limitation of cable infrastructure, not artifical)

4. Price incl. taxes and addl. fees: ~$140 USD per month

5. Service quality: surprisingly good, once I got my own modem and ditched theirs!

Notes:

- I've not yet experienced any bandwidth caps or throttling. I have zero confidence it'll stay that way, but so far, so good.

- Spectrum is one of a handfull of national monopolies on internet service. It used to be two competing companies: Charter and Time Warner Cable. A few years ago, Charter bought TWC and the merger created the entity known as Spectrum. Haven't verified this, but I read somewhere on the internet (which must make it true!) that post-merger, Spectrum is the largest ISP in North America.

- I live in an apartment, and as such I'm totally barred from having any options beyond what the landlord says I can have. My account is with the ISP directly, not through the apartment management company (thank `$DIETY || $FSM`), but Texas law has no protections for consumers against monopolization of utilities in commercial/rental housing. DSL through AT&T is the only other option, but it's god awful, and there's no fiber anywhere near here, and with chronically suppressed wages, virtually zero educated population and actually zero technology industry, I doubt there will be before 2040 at the earliest.

- A while back I was having a god-awful experience with the service, and finally I just bought a new DOCSIS3.1 modem at Best Buy. Called 'em up, gave them the MAC address, plugged it in and BOOM, problems instantly disappeared. Since then the service quality has been far better than I thought it would be. Being a national monopoly, my expectations were pretty low to begin with.

- Price is after all taxes (from memory), best possible plan there is in my area. Said taxes are supposed to be paid by them, not me, but since I don't have any other options, they can literally force consumers to pay their tax bills and there's not a damn thing I can do about it. Government raises taxes on company = my bill goes up, company makes even more money because they jack up the price on top of that and try to hide it/justify it by saying "increased cost of compliance". It's not at all; it's just an excuse to jack up the price on their custo-err, I mean, victims.
> Humans are cursed to be discontent once they find out there are better options available.

Yeah, it turns out the “simplicity of famine” after a tribal territorial dispute destroyed food supplies isn’t so great after all. Or simple water sanitization problems causing severe sickness for 1/4 of your people.

That simple life is good when it’s the right ratio of work rewarded with reward (food, shelter, respect in your peers). Otherwise it’s life and death misery.

I'm giving away my ideas for free, so I'm morally superior to you! ;-D

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to be more combative than that.

The idea I'm giving away is that 99.9% of the stuff people expect[1] from software nowadays is just plain unnecessary. Actually detrimental, in many (most?) cases: It just complicates things.

___

[1]: Or perhaps, I suspect, that software developers nowadays just think people expect from software, so they provide it without even reflecting whether it's really necessary at all.
Whatever, i think in the context of this article and depression, the suggestion to also check out meditation and especially musical instruments is solid advice. Surely I could have marked my subjective experience better like "TO ME these are basically the same." Your reckoning disqualifies you for further discussion.
I like:

* Clean Air
* Quiet

Building codes currently don't do enough to require _all_ exhausts be scrubbed. Positive pressure housing with scrubbed intakes would be nice too. Nor do they mandate acoustic isolation and insulation to ensure privacy. I'd even be for cars inside of a service layer, which would also have scrubbed ventilation and fresh air circulated in. This would work even better if we were in a post-ICE vehicle world.

I've learned that in the US the closer you are to other people, the worse these issues. Those Canadian trucker protests are an exaggerated example of all the things I hate about living near other people.

The database itself may internally store a more dense identifier than an autoincrementing primary key. For e.g. ctid in Postgres or, under certain conditions rowid in sqlite. These should be fully dense after a vacuum, and rejection sampling can be used to paper over tombstones generated between vacuums.

The scientific answer appears to be "high Johnson's figure of Merit", for which the primary source is a 1965 journal: https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Site-Technical/Company... (you can go forwards by editing the URL)

There are two factors:

- you need a high breakdown voltage, so that for a given voltage you want to switch you can make the transistor channel as short as possible; shorten the physical distance that charge carriers have to flow in the semiconductor.

- you need a high maximum drift velocity, which governs the rate at which charge carriers can flow through the semiconductor

Those contribute to reducing the on-resistance of the transistor, thereby decreasing its heat output for a given size.

My wife used to work in the Emergency Room... any time the EPIC system went down, they switched back to paper forms for recording information, and things got radically faster, then the waiting rooms would be emptied in short order as they were able to breeze through triage and treatment.
