I feel you.

Ansible means yaml, and yaml reminds me of perl. But not in a fun nostalgic way. Like Perl, yaml has too many "intuitive" features that you never actually use but will for sure be learned, by you, in a hurry, when you typo.

Tbh Nixos is what I use instead of Ansible -- you just open Terminator or xargs or do a plain for-loop in a bash script equivalent, open as many ssh connections as you need, and in each, do a one-liner to git-pull the latest conf repo, and then do `nixos-rebuild switch`.

Rollbacks are just as simple, and the whole thing is idempotent.

Of course you have to have control over which OS is in use, but that's a good reason to advocate for Nixos in your workplace.

The declarative nix language also quite a journey to learn, but when you get it, nothing else will feel good enough again.

Isn’t that true of almost every field that deals with humans?

Health - coffee/alcohol is good for you this week and bad for you next week

Sociology and Psychology - is anything in these fields truly falsifiable?

History - same
Fair point.

I was trying for a playful positive tone. I will try harder, but it is difficult, eh?

I suspect the difference I have with the person I answered is that the primary interaction I have with Twitter is links from HN, which are often short, relevant and to the point. I don’t see the flames because I’m not involved with the fire.
The civil war in Syria started with a famine, which is certainly evidence for the claim. Culture preserves adaptation strategies long after those ideas become maladaptive.

But nature is bad enough. As a climatologist, what keeps me up at night is Bangladesh. A couple meters of sea level rise, and a direct hit from a super typhoon, and we could easily see millions of refugees. And as India continues its tilt towards a Hindu state, conflict could also happen there.
It's malicious.

Millenials (myself among them) grew up before state-wide indoor smoking bans, and those of us who didn't smoke weren't interested in picking up anything resembling it.

A lot of Zoomers, however, grew up in a cigarette free world, where they also didn't see addiction or substantial anti-smoking messages. The older folks (Millenials) were set in their ways, but the Zoomers were the addressable audience. It was intentional. It was evil.

And the lack of insight. People in general often think they can apply their expertise in one area directly into another, which often isn’t true.
The thing with the "dismal science" part of economics is that it was at least in part, just maths. Maybe you don't like the conclusions, but if we put the various "monkey or student given a jar of peanuts what happens" papers on motivational economics (my term) to one side -its maths.

Sociology and Political Science feel a lot more like opinions than science. And, I say that as a computer scientist who is pretty sure computer science isn't a science, its an art. Like maths.
Wow. Is that intelligible to native speakers? I have a very hard time decoding it. Having it read out with the right intonation makes it a lot easier.

I love that GitHub added discussions to repos directly now. You can ask a question without getting berated by some SO mod about how your question makes no sense because you didn’t use the technically correct term for something.
Ask HN: What profession do you wish was more represented here?
Often times a topic that is somewhat obscure will pop up and make it to the front page. Lots of people will comment, but sometimes - not always - there isn't someone with actual domain knowledge to comment on how exactly said topic works. In that vein, what domain or profession do you wish had more representation on HN?
You didn't happen to buy crypto currency a few weeks ago, did you?
No, this is not a project to replace javascript in the browser, this is a project to give Python apps an html-rendered frontend. And yes, you should expect this to be packaged in electron apps.

Maybe it is sad, but it’s definitely the shortest path to brining modern frontend dev to Python.

"History is written by historians." Frank Herbert
Very true, but here's a counterpoint - EletheurAI and at least one other effort (Big Science I think, or something similar) are making good headway from the open source side.

Also, it's not quite I'm secret - the big labs continue to publish papers on the major advancements (at least, as far as we know), which in itself enables open source.

Lastly, academia is lagging but is making efforts to get in on making such models - see Stanford's CRFM, which I believe released some models recently.

PS I rather disagree with 'AI god' as something that is likely to come out of these efforts anytime soon personally, though that's a longer discussion.
you are wrong. it's not. it's simply memorizing optimal solutions to obscure programming challenges. the goal is to reproduce the optimal solution within a few minutes. nobody can do that, unless you memorize what the optimal solution is. the reason leetcode has become popular is because that gayle woman lobbied herself into a position of power at google and then wrote a book so she could profit from a "problem" tech companies think they have.
I have a similar language preference. Do you think a RESTful TypeScript backend is more productive than a Scala alternative?
Totally depends. I declined to stay as part of a PE acquisition once as a middle manager, but a solid 6 figure pay day to stay a few years was promised. Just didn’t interest me.

I use it for servers because of the stability. For me, that's the key differentiating factor. I set a server up and it will keep running indefinitely, with easy sysupgrade, syspatch, and updates. I haven't had that same experience with Linux servers. Rock solid foundation with ease of use and administration is great.
A lot of players did this, many had early macro programs for it. It was probably less profitable than running elder gazers or similar.

Doing this before blessed items might have yielded good returns, but there were far more exploitable avenues in that game.

If that was the case - big social spending would increase natural growth significantly. But it doesn't.

For example in Poland in 2015 a new social program was introduced. Parents get paid 500 PLN for each kid each month till it's 18 years old. At the time the median wage was under 2500 PLN for comparison. So 2 kids increased your earnings by 20%-40% (depending if both parents work).

Natural growth increased by 3.5% for 1 year and quickly returned to the trend. You can't even guess on the graph when it was introduced [1]

It's not about money.

I appreciate you taking the time to engage in a more positive way. I thought about it and realized I made a mistake that I try not to make, which is too many details and qualifiers. It makes it tough to speed read, which a lot of people do. I try to keep it direct with one main point, so I'll ask again in a more direct way:

I think Westworld is about this:

- A) Artificially intelligent robots achieving self-awareness and free will. Dominating humans with their superior abilities. Symbiosis with genius humans to create a human/machine super intelligence

- B) The rise of the technocratic class of people who write the software algorithms and stories that increasingly dominate our daily
lives and determine the choices we have available

- C) The thousand year quest to achieve human immortality

- D) Creating utopias in virtual reality that provide near-perfect worlds to live in

- E) Questions about memory and why it haunts us and possibly AI's in the future

- F) The violence and evil that lurks in the hearts of humans

- G) Good old-fashioned action adventure, shoot-em-up stories

- H) Glorification of Western colonial imperialism and the domination of other peoples and cultures

- I) Predatory capitalism that has a low disregard for any form of life

Did I miss anything? I have a feeling I am missing something

The murkiness of my original post came about because I didn't want to give the impression I liked the violence and subjugation of other cultures [1][2] because I don't and find that part distracting. I am much more interested in the AI sentience aspects.

If you're unwilling to trust Tailscale and their processes, you can't run Tailscale right now. That's obvious. It's part of the premise. The idea that ACLs "mean nothing" is risibly reductive; the ACLs protect our team members from each other and mistakes they might make with their environments.

(We don't use Tailscale SSH, and are unlikely ever to; we have a separate source of authentication truth for SSH, and a separate certificate-based access control system.)
Of course it is. What has that got to do with anything?
Working fine for me here near Denver.
math inclined? it has nothing to do with math, but more with memorizing certain optimal solutions to obscure programming problems.
While it might be politically unpalatable, it's appalling to me that there aren't any standards for government websites. With ~3000 counties and I don't know how many municipalities, trying to synthesize data between different local governments is a nightmare for journalists, citizens, legal actors, and who-all else. Political science types like to mention 'laboratories of democracy' with a misty-eyed gaze into the past, but frankly it's far more common to end up with meth labs of bad governance, and the idea that great software solutions for the public sector are going to bubble up of their own accord has been shown to be wrong. There needs to be a system that is open source, accessible, and standard enough that city managers have to come up with a decent excuse as to why they're not using it.
Np! The particle sim part of the code is actually super fast, the only reason it might not run with full framerate is that it’s software rendering all the pixels in python and dumping out the images to the screen in real time. that’s the expensive part!
> That worries me, actually. Are we leaving a large group of people behind? Have we written them off because they're not able to do "high value" work and yet our life expenses in the U.S. are such that they're not economically viable for doing the "low value" work, either?

The answer to both of these questions is "yes". I've worked in education and am very familiar with homeless communities and their issues. It's very obvious that in some locations (like the Bay Area) there simply isn't enough low-complexity work for the bottom 10-15%, people for whom "dishwasher" is a complex job. Technology has just been slowly eating away at those jobs for a century and replacements have not come in as fast the jobs are disappearing.
The cost of the boat was cheaper than buying a house, so people would sail out into the sea to be 'safe' from someone trying to kill them.

Generally people used the technique similar to leveling melee skills in towns but there was always a work-around to killing people in towns. In downs you would kill someone macroing by dropping like 5 explosion potions on the ground around them, then throwing 1 in and teleporting out while a friend would loot the body.

Magic on the boat involved walking in front of the mast to cancel the spell.
Been a Rails dev for my whole career and at this point my love for it is slowly sliding away.

It’s the most amazing framework ever for the first few years but after the app starts to grow older and larger it becomes almost unworkable. It’s virtually impossible to update even the smallest gem and know you haven’t caused issues. A rails upgrade is impossible without 100% test coverage of everything and even then you have to cross your fingers that nothing slipped through.

The current place I work at is investigating pulling things out of rails and in to a Rust macro service so we can have some confidence that changes actually work.

"your wallet or your life", it's just a proposal for a voluntary transaction - after all, if you give up your wallet, no harm will come to you, and it's certainly entirely in your free choice to choose just that. And if you make yourself a threat to him by refusing to give him so needed cash - well, it's on you mate.

I think your reading comprehension is lacking. Please try to read on the concept of "analogy". I gave you one more above as an exercise. To make it easier for you, I will reveal now that I did not actually claim people are getting robbed when vaccinated, and people are not actually getting shot when they refuse to get vaccinated. The point of the "analogy" thing is to emphasize a certain structure of the situation by imagining some other situation - "other" is the key word here, meaning the situation is not the same - which shares some structural element with the situation being illustrated. In this case, something being a "free choice" seemingly, but due to very grave consequences attached to one of the choices, not being choice at all but rather an exercise in coercion - which in both cases btw nobody is really intending to hide, the coercive element is there precisely because only one result is considered acceptable by the coercing power. Hope this helps you with understanding the concept behind the "analogy" device.

You can easily stow a portable solar panel in a hiking bag that can charge your phone and the other accessories. A laptop would have a harder time getting charged, even if it was a Chromebook. Portable battery packs intended for phones would also be easy to stow. Not only do they fit more compactly, but they are light on your weight budget and not as fragile as lightweight laptops.
Vue took a hit because of issues with v2 to v3 migration. But situation is improving. With v2.7 beta just released and major ecosystem libraries and frameworks (vuetify and nuxt) catching up.

Then, there is a community effect. We all know vite and vitest are originally from vue ecosystem. As people start using them, they are more exposed to vue.

Ah, this brought back "fond" memories of trying to reverse engineer a 3-way chat in Teams, and trying to figure out why I didn't understand the conversation. It turned out that Teams would have a kind of eventual consistency for messages, where one or two lines would arrive a few hours later, and pop into existence in the middle of a conversation (three pages up), without notifying you that something had happened. Because, presumably, you had already read messages with a later creation date...

Granted, this was pretty rare, but we noticed it happening at least 2-3 times in a 6 month period. In those cases it caused enough of a headache that I had to start worrying about whether I was seeing the entire discussion, which is a wonderful property to have in a chat tool.
I guess it's "yay, filter bubbles" in 2022?
Long ago I thought Twitter was interesting, though at the moment I'm unable to precisely state why I thought so. I think it was perhaps the simplicity.

Twitter seemed feature-complete a long time ago. Handle scaling problems and the odd bugfixes, and you're good.

Sometimes I wonder what all their many thousands of engineers do all day.

(I understand they probably still need plenty of non-engineers to handle legal/compliance requirements etc of different countries.)
Is a computer not computing if it's not outputting? If I'm thinking for an extended period of time without telling other "people" my thoughts am I actually thinking? If a tree falls in a forest, and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
You bastard you stole like a crap ton from my brother who thought he was buying a house from you.
Brings back some memories. I remember macroing my magic resist up to 100. In the high 90s you'd have to flamestrike yourself hundreds of times for a point. It was really hard to nail the timing of the macro because on a bad die roll it could almost kill you, so if you were too aggressive the next one could wipe you out if you didn't leave enough time to heal in between casts. I remember waking up in the morning after an overnight macro setup and feeling like it was Christmas day rushing to the computer to check the outcome.
Yeah I really miss that sauce
Calories in == calories out. Right. Calories in is diet, yes. Calories out is influenced heavily by hereditary and lifestyle factors that are outside of diet.

animals do that, and we're animals, so give me a reason as why to this being a bad idea and you will gladly get me to agree with your very self-contradictory opinion.

You don't have values, nor a measurement to define what's good and what's not, not to mention "respect" ideas or people.

You only have one thing to appreciate as an atheist, which is materialism and anything that serves your goals by any means necessary.

I always find it hard to identify "the same people". Most groups have a quite diverse set of opinions. The human brain is wired to think in in-group and out-group, so it requires conscious effort to avoid these kinds of generalizations, but I think it's important that we try. Polarization is a serious problem in today's society.

If you're using NixOS on the desktop, sometimes you want to run an obscure piece of software quickly, without packaging it for NixOS, which can be a PITA with proprietary software or software with irregular build processes.

Or maybe you're working in an organization where some instructions are written for another distro, and you just want to be able to follow them word for word the first time you attempt a task, to make sure you understand the process on a 'normal' distro, or because you're troubleshooting with someone who is running another distro. Then NixOS' support for running containers is handy, but afterward you're left running some containers whose reproducibility doesn't match what you've come to expect frok the rest of your system.

> I personally am surprised NixOS hasn't leaned into marketing itself as ideal for creating reproducible containers.

Nope, we just witnessed using "anti-vax" label for people that oppose mandatory vaccinations, even if they themselves are vaccinated up to the tip of their head. This term is a bludgeon designed to mark somebody as "doubleplusungood" and thus summarily dismiss anything this person is saying. Very useful if you don't want to bother to discuss some things and support your opinion, and still want to look like you won the discussion and have the moral high-ground. Not very useful if you want to understand things or convince people.
Agreed.

Ultima Online did have a lot of bugs. Being fair to the developers, they were sailing in uncharted waters when developing Ultima Online, not only in the technical sense, but in the social sense too. Raph Koster goes into more detail about the interesting lessons they learned from their mistakes in designing Ultima Online's early gameplay. A lot of UO's bugs spawned interesting emergent behaviour from the playerbase too.
