Your question would be very easy to answer if it concerned a whole basket of "games like this". Now that you narrowed it down to this specific game, it becomes difficult to answer, because we can just throw our hands up in the air and say "it doesn't matter what we do". If we allowed slight variations in the game format, it suddenly _would_ matter what we do, and suddenly we would need to do expected value calculations to do well in these games.

Your question is akin to a driver plowing through red lights without an accident and concluding that the traffic light was useless in this specific instance. "I didn't cause a crash even though I ran a red light, so the traffic light was meaningless! In this specific instance I mean! It didn't matter if I stopped to the red light or ran across it, no accident would have happened either way in these very specific circumstances, so why are people even talking about traffic lights?"

> An individuals anonymity does not take precedence over a professional supply chain that requires transparency

An individual may choose to not be an unpaid yet completely exposed part of such a professional supply chain, to be pressured and shamed in real life by whoever sees fit to do so. There should be such a supply chain, by all means, run by companies for companies with paid or otherwise fairly compensated contributors, vetted and named and identified and badged and protected by corporate legal, but I'm quite sure forcing the wider open source community into that mold would destroy most of what makes it so successful.
My own anecdotal experience is that it's not that much better on Apple's platforms. Documentation may have gotten the tiniest bit better, but there's still way too much information missing. And Apple's platforms are a constantly moving target. It may turn out tomorrow that the work required to keep up is just too much. Too many incentives, IMO, to not develop for these platforms if one can avoid it.

Ah yes indeed, I should have mentioned the company is mostly a standard CRUD web app. Sure - Go's advantage is the services weigh less and are able to handle more - but that is such an insignificant advantage compared to the human cost of developing and maintaining it (compared to Rails) imo.

It might have been different if I needed something more low level - though in that case one can use C/C++.
Dehumanisation of essential civic processes is a step towards
"cybernetic governance", and is a topic I explore in some detail in
Digital Vegan [1]. This is distinct from what most of us still call
"e-governance" in subtle ways. I am concerned that people do not yet
understand the nuances between processes that can be automated to
really improve life and where we cross the line into technofascist
dystopias that will tear societies apart.

I share an attitude with Frank Zappa here. Zappa was rather oddly
against "Love song lyrics". He said they led to poor mental health by
propagating unrealistic expectations of intimate relations.

Similarly, I think that Science Fiction has a lot to answer for. I
personally love most SciFi, but like Orwell the Cyberpunk genre was
misinterpreted as a blueprint instead of a warning, and many people
carry around disported, unrealistic and quite mentally damaged ideas
of what a "good" technological society should look like.

> at least in bioscience...

BINGO! that field is notoriously horrible and interacts extremely badly with a 'when not discovered here, not important' syndrome. Biology is brutal toward bio-physicists, mathematicians as well as people who code who they are forced to work with rather than seek out to help them.

I still hold up as an example nonsense discussions around p-values in bio vs actual work going on in statistics in maths departments. It shows how far detached they've become.

Not to criticize too strongly, but given the above, combined with it's reproducabilty crisis, and existential problem of being in the back-pocket of big-pharma, I seriously doubt the professional integrity of a lot of people in the field.

Move toward mathematics, physics and chemistry. There is (some) serious money and a good atmosphere around areas such as finite-element modelling, or wolphram like tools as an example. There is a lack of direct funding for decent posts but you get recognised and paid the equivalent as a peer, I know from working with some of these people. It's not to say it's 100% always without friction, but no job is I'd argue.

"Prioritätsstreit" is just a german word for a priority dispute, i.e. the question who was the first to come up with calculus, not something to indicate that this would be a priority to the German volk. If my memory serves me right, Leibniz didn't much mind about the whole business.

At first ecological, environmental issues. And then I started looking into animal treatment and felt really guilty about it.

It took me maybe 6 months to 1 year telling myself I was now eating vegetarian, while still eating meat more or less regularly. And eventually it became a habit. From a logistic point of view the switch is really simple if you live in a place where you can find alternatives, just stop buying meat and instead compensate with lot of vegetables, tofu, beans, mushrooms, soy-based meat-like alternatives, etc. And you save a good amount of money doing so (at least in Europe, I believe in the US meat is way cheaper because of government subsidies).

Though to be honest it's a bit frustrating if you like to cook because you won't find something that behaves/reacts like meat.

In practice I still eat meat <10 days a year, for example on vacation to a place where vegetarian food is difficult to find or when I join a family dinner and don't want to be annoying.
>Within young family that has that problem, this is a problem of one person. The rest of them dont even have to be aware.

I don't get what point you are trying to make. Yes, my family has a primary caregiver (like practically every other family). No, it's not me. However, this means I have an exceptionally good understanding of the very issue that is being discussed. I care deeply about the issues that person has as they raise our kids through their youngest ages, and I do whatever I can that is best for all the members of my family.

>Others had one close friends they met with regularly.

Good for them. Where I live, it was illegal to have other people in your houses until mid-2021. Cafes and other hospitality locations were closed for around the same time. My local playground was literally chained shut. Tell me it's fun meeting other families with babies in the winter in an empty field (it's not). Particularly when those other people spend the whole time dancing around you on tip-toes trying to keep the government-mandated 2m separation.

>And most seen socialization as important and moved it online.

There's the catch - I don't regard online-only interacting as "socialising". Most of what makes mere words into the all-encompassing experience known as "socialising" has been removed.
> Android is C/C++

It really isn't, and frankly this sort of comment makes it quite clear how uninformed you need to be to make this sort of claim. I mean, even the Android NDK specifies quite clearly in its own description that it's only designed to offload parts of an Android app to C++.

https://developer.android.com/ndk

In the Android projects I worked, the Android NDK was only used to implement small performant components that sat on the hot path, such as image processing work. Even so, the experience was not exactly on the happy path.

> I stand my point, the JVM is not the right tool to build components for Kubernetes because Kubernetes needs lots of small service running everywhere, running those in the JVM would have resulted in large memory consumption.

This personal assertion has no bearing in the real world. Not only do we have high frequency trading apps developed in Java but you're also succumbing to absurd beliefs that you get architectural wins for free by switching the programming language.

Also, it's absurd to make clams about the needs of running "lots of small services" when the web is already served by "lots of small services" developed in Java with non-performant web app frameworks, which are subsequently ran by the likes of Kubernetes.
The odd thing about this to me is why they have the kafakeseque option to upload your driver's license that doesn't do anything? Is this intended specifically to frustrate and annoy people? It's such an intrusive thing to ask for, why do it if you just ignore it?
Facebook is not like the power company, or the water district. It is not an essential utility that people will die without. If Facebook suddenly disappeared from the Internet tomorrow, life would go on. This particular person might find it somewhat more difficult to socialize without it, but people have been socializing for decades without Facebook, and people will continue to socialize when it's dead.

Just throwing up our hands and saying "we simply need Facebook" doesn't help anyone, and doesn't help to fight the pernicious effect of Facebook's dominance. I agree though, that some kind of regulation is part of the solution--but not because it's some kind of essential utility, but because of it's ill effects (like smoking).

Despite her initial fears about being so dependent on it, this might actually have been a blessing in disguise--just the encouragement she needed to let go and move on from this harmful platform.
I have looked at your docs and don't quite get it. Is the idea that I have say 10 microservices that app-in-test will / may use, and then I set up the 10 instances (somehow all in one container?) and then can test that.

I think that seems sensible, but how is that different to 10 containers ? Is the issue something about simpler network management inside a container?
You have too look at the big picture though. How much time would have been needed to train the PhD student (might have been even the PI) to write more maintainable code 10 years ago, and maintain that code to "best practices" over the time, compared to write that it works once and need to rewrite once after 10 years?

Moreover, people tend to forget that scientific software evolves much more slowly than commercial software and the number of people who work on this are much fewer, so why always adopt the newest method, if the code is still working. Show me commercial projects that have had the stability of something like LAPACK or BLAS, those essentially had a stable API for > 50 years now, with very few bugs.
Oh my god, thanks a lot for this. I had missed this link and was searching for past few months. Thought of doing an 'Ask HN' just to get the link.
SciFi Economics
Reverse engineering my intuition, perhaps it's the order of (mental) operations? Very few calendars treat week numbers as a first class citizen, and most emphasize the day of the week unnecessarily, while putting less emphasis on the information we consider important. Let me elaborate.

In Finland there is a heavy reliance on week numbers. When finding a shared free time slot for a meeting you pick a week first. Especially the public sector revolves around weeks and the default user interface is the official desktop paper(!) calendar.

What makes most US-based calendars confusing by default is the different Date/Time format. The Finnish written standard is DD.MM.YYYY with the week starting on Monday.

Localisation doesn't necessarily help. The British mental model clashes with the Finnish tradition in highlighting the "wrong" pieces of information. In spoken Finnish 'month DD' or 'DD' if you're already looking at the same week is the natural order. The British put a lot of emphasis on the day of the week and the order/formatting is also "wrong": 'DAY DD MONTH'.

In the grand mess of global localisation these are tiny details, but many smaller nations, and their citizens, get stubbornly attached to our local peculiarities.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: that having access to source code is really useful for developing and debugging, regardless of whether there is a community around the project.

I've been experimenting with ONVIF to create an IP camera that can be integrated with windows without the user having to install any additional software. I almost never touch windows and I must say that the experience has been very frustrating because things do not behave according to spec and I can't look at the source code to see what's actually happening.

Access to source code makes a world of difference. Otherwise, you're left guessing and the quality of your product will suffer because you end up doing "whatever works" under your circumstances. Under different circumstances that can break.

Having seen this happen several times in my social circle over the past 5 years or so, there’s a high end talent pool you can tap with limited resources. I know a few folks maybe 5-10 years older than me (so mid to late 40’s) who have had impressive careers (e.g. their names are associated with popular industry techniques or otherwise recognised as heavyweight contributors) but are just burned out doing the same boring problems. Several have taken massive pay cuts to go work in tiny firms.

These folks by virtue of their commercial history can be useful in ways beyond just coding too - some of them can add a level of glitz, glam and respectability to your firm that you might struggle to figure out for yourself (they’ve seen it all before - they know what kinds of small firms are attractive to people with budgets in big firms).

You can get these folks for a song by:

1. Giving them something interesting to work on
2. Showing them that they won’t gradually be asked to take on BS assignments over time
3. Letting them take every friday to go fishing or whatever it is they do
> Ah this is a different version of the problem. There are quite a few listed on the wikipedia page.

The vast majority of the Wikipedia article concerns variants that do not involve opening the first envelope.

The first definition of the problem states "before inspecting it".

The first section, "Introduction", also describes the problem similarly: "before they open it". This section - which defines the problem - does not introduce any variants which involve opening the first envelope.

The next section, "Simple resolution", describes a resolution to the variant described in the introduction (where the first envelope is not opened).

The next section, "Other simple resolutions", also discusses the same variant (where the first envelope is not opened). At the end of this section there is a remark "We could actually open our envelope before deciding on switching or not and the above formula would still give us the correct expected return", but that is the extent to which the first-envelope-is-opened variant is discussed there.

I could go on. My point is that the discussion very clearly revolves around the variant where the first envelope is not opened, and you have to go down a pretty deep rabbit hole in order to find a variant where the first envelope is opened.

> I believe the version you are talking about is just a simple equivocation.

Yes, just a simple equivocation, with a Wikipedia page that could be printed as a book. Does anything strike you as odd about that?

This is vastly underrated. In places like HN, I think this is understood in terms of personal goals and accomplishments, sources of well being in life, but it applies to examples from the public sphere as well. It's become obvious that what one person values is really different from what another does when looking at things like voting for public representatives, for example, and certain kinds of success clearly didn't save some people from misery.
A little empathy would go a long way. Surely "life would go on" if your kids' school closed down, or if your best friends relocated, or if your employer laid you off. But it would be a significant inconvenience, wouldn't it?
