The lack of attention to detail is palpable.

But it's not just an Apple problem. It feels like the vast majority of software, you can open it up and fiddle around for a few minutes and find any number of poorly conceived UX choices not to mention straight up bugs / inconsistencies. I'm not talking "I could make this software better than they did" level stuff, just things that any reasonable person would admit don't make sense.
> It doesn't allow you to build quick and easy solutions that allows you to lie to yourself (or your boss.)

A quick and easy solution is still a solution, which is what most bosses want.
Yes. He has polls done very frequently and is famous for saying/doing one thing today and exactly the opposite the next day. However all he cares about is staying in power. He will not reverse course in economy or anything else unless it effects his chances of getting reelected. His being a candidate in the next election is not even constitutionally allowed but we do not talk about these kinds of irrelevant details.
So if you don't like Apple Music just use another service but listen to more music?
It's never too late tbh, but in this case it makes zero sense. The competition is also "made in Germany", it's not like all the datacenters/providers are fully run from the US or something.

The only ones who would fall for this gimmick are the people who only buy "made in Germany" in Lidl, I guess?
> It's 2022 and any company still hiding behind "call for pricing" or "call for quote" that isn't servicing government agencies is going to be eaten alive by any other provider not making customer run thought hoops.

For contrast, service providers like Hetzner (also a German company) let you provision cloud instances with a single click, and you can SSH into them immediately.

I have a few pet projects running as docker swarm stacks in Hetzner nodes, and the time it takes between provisioning instances from scratch and get everything installed, configured, up and running and serving production traffic with an Ansible playbook is measured in seconds.

In StackIT it takes longer to get your phonecall picked up by someone.

Nevertheless, this is an excellent step in the right direction. If the cloud is renting other people's computers, it makes no sense at all that there are so few people renting their own hardware (specially within the EU), and the ones that do charge a hefty premium.
I wonder how much of this is due to the vast tech salary discrepancies (especially in areas like AI and cloud) between Europe and the US. I bet the Lidl cloud engineers are getting paid at most a third of their AWS counterparts. If you want AWS quality, you have to pay AWS salaries.

Ask HN: Why aren't code diagram generating tools more common?
When I'm trying to get familiar with a new codebase it often takes me a long time to build a proper mental model of the whole system. Even with my own projects, it's easy to lose track of all the components and their interactions since they're constantly changing, and making hand-drawn diagrams is time consuming.

So my questions are:

- Why isn't diagram generation automated as part of the build process (UML or otherwise)?

- Why aren't code visualization tools more popular? The options out there seem outdated

- Would you want to use these tools? What would be your ideal tool?

Edit: looks like this is a duplicate question

My favorites from the past decade:

Soma, a science fiction horror game around the idea of transplanted consciousness. It's a common sci-fi theme but Soma handles it much better than most and adds a very interesting setting.

What Remains of Edith Finch, not scary, it's a "walking sim" that explores a family's surreal curse over generations. It's actually really touching.

Disco Elysium, a detective RPG in an interesting fictional "post-soviet style" setting. The world building and writing are incredible. While it has a sense of melancholy, it can also be incredibly funny.
This is what I'm wondering. These are in some ways simpler systems as well, because containerization is "baked in"
there's grim fandango remastered on steam, it's a blast

stardew valley has some violence but it's not the focus of the game (it's a farming simulation), you only has to fight if you go to the caverns with monsters, but you can play the game without doing this (you just won't have minerals for tools and cash)

Successful use by criminals is among the best possible proofs of the effectiveness of any privacy technology. If it protects even criminals, it will surely protect us. Would be even better if some government agency or military started depending on it for their covert operations.
I've linked to serious research that matches my anecdotal evidence. I disagree that level of support or satisfaction indicates that a political system is superior to another. It's possible to be satisfied for many reasons including not knowing better, apathy, brainwashing, etc. As a fellow "anti-authoritarian", I believe you are doing yourself a disservice by dismissing those facts. For change to become more likely, you first have to win the hearts and minds of the people.

The history of the “Made in Germany” mark is really interesting.

It was introduced by the British to discourage buying from Germany, and encourage people to buy British. Germany then very successfully twisted it around to be a mark of engineering expertise and quality - the perfect response.

I can’t really agree with most of the article. I think that while there is some price gouging, mostly food price increases are simply an effect of inflation.

I like the generality of super markets. I like to cook so I buy whole grains/rice, lots of fresh produce, a variety of foreign/exotic spices and prepared sauces, and occasional free range/no feed lot beef. On the other hand, I know people who don’t have as much free time as I have and they can get frozen/canned, etc. food that is fast to prepare. Everyone gets what they want or need.

That said, my wife and I also frequent the weekly farmers’ market, and I go to a tiny store where I see local producers unloading locally grown produce from their pickup trucks.

I wonder if a byproduct of inflation might be more people cooking healthier meals from bulk/cheaper staples.

Or just the peace of mind of being able to fully recreate infrastructure easily, if need be.

Code, you know, version control, diffs, CI/CD pipelines, inherent live "documentation" (up to a point, of course you won't know the "why", but you'll know most of the "how" and "what", git offering the "who").
Get away with bad code and gargantuan queries for 2-3 years by scaling vertically. Blame your monolith and the engineers that built it when scaling vertically can't mitigate tech debt anymore, and rearchitect to microservices to "fix it".

> These people are either getting their kicks out of subservience of other people, or what they actually want is to provide a living to working class people.

Or they prefer the faster, less confusing experience of having their goods swiped for them and not having to stand around waiting for a human to come and validate they're old enough to buy alcohol or correct the automated checkout freaking out over an item being marginally below the expected weight or explain they need to select the payment method before trying to use their card.
We pay more, what we pay for is making it easily available to a lot more people than before. That is actually cheap for what you get, but if you do not get anything extra besides a text dump it's expensive

I would recommend watching Kenneth Branagh's movie adaptations, particularly Henry V. You get a good feel for the power of the language, the pathos and the humor. I used to have recordings (i.e. vinyl records) of the Royal Shakespeare company reading plays, makes them much more accessible when you read along with a great actor speaking the words. I've been reading and re-reading Shakespeare all my life, the words never get old.

> "Occurs in prod only, infrequent, no error message, just does nothing."

With proper logging, a few days?

- pull up bug report

- figure out user from logs usually based on what he was doing plus IP address + time issue ocurred

- look at what he was doing and what went wrong

- look at code, see what could possibly go wrong, fix all found issues, apply patch, test and deploy. (alternative - see what recent changes were done there from last few deploys to find possible culprits)

Now imagine small issues at scale, millions of users, lots of servers and services, complex architectures... where you can't even reproduce. Those are fixable with logs. Debugger won't really work unless you get a crash dump. Memory snapshot as you say might work - but to get the snapshot I assume it pauses the service to generate memory dump and takes it offline... so equivalent to crash/assert?, otherwise I'd be very curious how to get instant snapshots :)

> Yeah iTunes used to be a real shitshow, having accumulated anything related to iPhone sync mgmt, media player, and a browser ofc. Then the Apple Music player came as an improvement

Hmm, I'm actually glad that iTunes in its old form still lives on in Windows, because AFAIK the dedicated Podcasts app that has replaced iTunes in that regard on Macs no longer supports manually adding files as a podcast episode – something I've made heavily use of in order to get that nice listened/unlistened tracking for various radio comedy shows I've obtained through other means.
You: "Noone said anything about mathematically perfect reproduction."
Also you: "thereby getting back the original smooth waveform".

I don't think you're using the word "original" correctly.

And now we agree - the reproduction is not perfect. That is exactly what I wrote to begin with.

>Noone said that the anti-imaging filter was literally built into the DAC package.

That's right - I did not write that, so don't imply I did. I demonstrated that the DAC chip does not do it, then demonstrated that any possible outside filter cannot do it. This is counter to your claim, but matches what I originally wrote.

>And the noise floor of a digital system is still way lower than what’s achievable with an analog one.

Not true - both can be run easily down to thermal background radiation noise floor, then both need things like liquid cooling and other techniques if you want to go below (physics experiments run into this stuff and have to push both digital and analog signal noise floors vastly below probably any audio systems).

There is no inherent noise floor for either system.
Here's mine.

Fuck Spotify. Any user problem gets referred to the suggestion box where you'll always be told to go fuck yourself. That's the only attitude they know: fuck you with a generic smile.

There's this feature that they think is neat, and nobody wants, where they'll switch to whatever device you pick up and pick up where you left off. The problem is that for many users, the only thing it does is persistently switch to whatever device you're not using, including your neighbor's, thereby rendering the whole app 100% unusable. And you can't turn it off.

There's a 7-year-long thread on their support forum - the only recourse - going right up to the present day, of people begging them either make the feature optional or fix it. And the only response they ever give is a straight "We are not going to fix this."

Fuck. Spotify.
Nah, I'd be surprised if it's something else. This is a Lidl project that's being touted as "AWS competition" every few months, but it looks more like a small proof of concept that an actual competitor.

Sort of like a kids bike is a competitor for a truck.

I didn't try it but I think it would be relatively straightforward to compile GNU tools on BSD.

But generally GNU tends to focus on performance and features while BSD focuses on simplicity. GNU having ridiculously complex code to do trivial things is kind of a meme.

And also, most people don't need a ridiculously fast "yes". Usually, when you want a fast stream of bytes, for example to fill up some space, /dev/zero is a better option.

"Made in Japan" used to be an insult, too.

Same for "Made in Korea".

The finances work out in a couple ways. First, developers are expensive so productivity improvements on the cloud saves money and speeds delivery. Managed services (storage, queue, email, database) can have great productivity gains. This is also faster delivery or smaller team sizes. Why hire a sysadmin, db admin, etc when AWS has managed services that remove (or reduce) the need for those roles. Keep your headcount low and move fast.

The math is different for different companies, workloads, etc.
I understand, but I still say you have to go deeper before a discussion takes place. Why are ethnic stereotypes being reinforced in this instance? Are the cultural elements or other factors at play? It _is_ a sensitive topic, and a complex one, which is why talking about it casually feels irresponsible, because it is so easy for some people to draw the wrong conclusion about what is being said.

A bit more than half of the added value in Germany is created by companies with less than 500 employees and less than €50M yearly turnover (Mittelstand). There is in fact a lot of specialized machinery vendors providing significant value.

I found it incredibly amusing to sit through spec discussions of {big company's} new shiny long-term A/B success metric a few years ago. Hundreds of inputs, ML-based modeling, etc.. all to decide if change #574843 will eventually make more money or not. CX scoring was hotly debated as a model input and was ultimately voted against. Companies don't care if you enjoy your experience, they only care if you engage and spend money. Streaming, social media, retail, gaming; they're all full of dark patterns that lead to bad experiences so the company makes an extra buck. Honestly, I'm tired of this industry.
Does Germany have digital wallet for finance, health, etc?
LowEndBox is worth taking a look at, they often have specials and even if some of those are outdated sometimes the providers will offer the same price if approached. As always though - you get what you pay for

No, OP is playing semantics. “Committing crimes” has a meaning in ordinary usage, and it doesn’t encompass violating administrative rules. Here in Maryland, a speeding ticket is technically a misdemeanor violation of the criminal code. Nobody would call that “committing crimes”—because that would be confusing to other people.

Using $600 per ton of co2 across a 2000mi commercial flight with 150 passengers emitting 50lbs of co2 per mile, that works out to a tax of $200 per passenger (each way). Would double the price of a typical ticket
If you're that much of a target, you'll find your devices hacked soon enough regardless.

I can't speak about your threat model, but "exfiltrating my private CA keys to phish my browser" isn't really something I worry about in practice.

For those still checking certificate validity, Firefox will warn you that the certificate used is not in the system database when you click the little lock in the address bar.

That said, I'd absolutely love a system where I could restrict my private CA to certain domains.
If you want to get into farming I would suggest giving woofing (worldwide opportunities on organic farms) try first.

A directory of farmers that allow volunteers in exchange for room and board (that is the default but there is also plenty that also provide extras like small stipends and training). Little hard to do if you already have a family but great if you are single and want to see what farming is like.

I’ve been seriously considering going back to owning a big library of mp3s. I love Spotify for its suggestions - well, when it’s not just playing the same 8 songs on repeat. And I love having my music available on all my devices.

But the experience of playing songs feels like it’s taken a big step backwards into some sort of weird corporate happy land. The fact I we still can’t remove podcasts from Spotify is ridiculous. I tried Apple Music but I bounced almost immediately because of the UI.
Is it even a cloud without publicly accessible API?

instead of `aws ec2 run-instances` and 1000 other APIs that AWS expose, it looks like lidl just have `lidl contact-sales`
> and then has been ignored

They're not ignored, most are just not feasible in production due to both performance and memory overhead. They're still used for tests to check for issues (valgrind?)

If you can point to something that actually works properly in production without much overhead I'd use it in a heartbeat.

Also, I'd say proper logs are a form of time traveling debugging... so a system built on logs might work :)
