>Sure, but would you feel okay about ruining someone else's home as long as it's not in your neighbourhood?

Personally, no. Can we extrapolate that while also reviewing history and come to the determination that no one would ever build or do something to the detriment of others? Absolutely not.

>When a war crime is committed, it is private first class John Baluzki holding the rifle who will be dragged to the Hague

That's not really how it works. There's a ton of bureaucracy when it comes to actually bringing someone in front of ICC/The Hague, and plenty of countries shield perpetrators from ever seeing justice. War Crimes seems non-sequitar to this conversation, and it seems you have a naive understanding of them.

>Individuals perform actions, corporations or dictators are powerless without individuals willing to go along with their crap. Those individuals are responsible for what they did.

Corporations and dictators often hold sway by threat, either of livelihood or life. I think you underestimate how much power this gives them. Whistleblowers often find themselves ostracized/blackballed/murdered. There's often a lot of downside to speaking up. Also really how culpable is someone pouring concrete or running electrical at a plant that eventually starts polluting the neighborhood? Even if neighbors tell this worker "this place will pollute our neighborhood" and they ask their boss or someone higher up "is this place going to pollute the neighborhood?" they'd probably get a non-answer or a denial.
> Zoning allows people to choose the type of neighborhood they want to live in.

Considering the massive shortage of housing in overly-micromanaged zoning areas, it has monumentally failed at this.
Sounds like a category error to me.

Money laundering, tax evasion and speculation are parts of normal market life; their existence does not challenge the vitality of the commercial sphere. This vitality arises from the constant need for novelty that (this kind of) market structure introduces.

I am one of the 11 people on Earth that hates coffee. "Hate" isn't strong enough. Even "despises" I'm not sure goes far enough. It tastes disgusting to me. I can't even stand the smell. This has led me at times to wonder if I'm crazy or if everyone else is. I do notice a ton of people consume a ton of sugar in their coffee so it seems like many don't really like coffee. They like sugar. But I digresss.

I have the same "am I crazy?" thoughts with Blade Runner. Unlike coffee it's not bad (subjectively). I just don't get the hype.

It's a product of its time too. I'd put it in the 80s Cyberpunk bucket where the noir surroundings and mega corporations are a product of xenophobia, basically. There were genuine fears the Japanese were "taking over". And Blade Runner reflects this zeitgeist. In Blade Runner it's the Tyrell Corporation. In Aliens it was the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

Rutger Hauer did give a good performance and there were some good lines [1] but I'd never put it in my list of top films. Not even my list of top sci-fi films. It is better than Interstellar though, which is trash, so there's that.

I think if you saw it in the context of movies of its time you would understand the appeal, if not appreciate it. So many things imitate it that the most original parts seem like cliches.

The other thing is that it holds up for most people, so that it is better when you go back to it because you see thing you missed the first time.

Are you me? I've been slowly getting into alpinism in the Sierras and looking into getting my p2 cert. (I'd love to combine the two...imagine climbing in the palisades then paragliding or base jumping off )

I regrettably spent my 20s in academia and now I'm in tech and actually afford these hobbies. I'd love to have kids but I'm pushing it off because as you mentioned, it seems selfish.

I'm thinking about a SEA climbing holiday during the winter. I'm eyeing Vietnam. Do you have any favorite locale?
I have asked a similar question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31148924

Basically, I have resorted to a power board that has individual switches for my monitor on my desk. I switch the monitor off at the end of the day and then on again in the morning. a full power cycle seems to be the cheapest way of getting connected each morning.

If I don't my 'Mac Book Pro 16" - M1 Pro' will do very strange things, like a strange mirrored 1024x768 4:3 mirrored mode until I unplug the usb-c to DP cable and cycle the power on the monitor. I have also found I need to leave the monitor off for a good 30 seconds (capacitor discharge?) to get a connection again.

I have also seriously considered tinkering with a HomeKit power switch and some shortcuts automations.

In 2005 your infrastructure provisioning wasn’t automated. The complexity has increased, but so has what we get. Being able to provision new hardware stacks like software is amazing, in 2005 I had to get quotes from hosting providers.

If you overlay maps of traffic accidents with age of buildings, you will see that post-war North American urban planning up until modern suburbia has had an atrocious effect on traffic safety.

I can't think of any other profession that has collectively failed us as badly as urban planning, having simultaneously created a housing crisis, a climate change crisis, and a public health crisis. It's like medicine before Semmelweis.
Not pictured:

2005 your average box served some php and static assets, connecting to some generic relational database. Reading logs means grepping files over ssh.

2022 your architecture runs in the cloud, has multiple flavors of databases, queues, caches, and so on. You have at least two orders of magnitude more complexity because you aren’t just serving a web page anymore - you handle payments, integrate with other services, queue tasks for later, and so on. Your automation may be an order of magnitude more complex than 2005, but it enables two orders of magnitude more functionality.
The article cites both a senior Western official and actual UK intelligence assessments to back up its claims:

The “creeping” advances are dependent almost entirely on the expenditure of vast quantities of ammunition, notably artillery shells, which are being fired at a rate almost no military in the world would be able to sustain for long, said the senior Western official. Russia, meanwhile, is continuing to suffer heavy losses of equipment and men, calling into question how much longer it can remain on the attack, the official said.

Officials refuse to offer a time frame, but British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, citing intelligence assessments, indicated this week that Russia would be able to continue to fight on only for the “next few months.” After that, “Russia could come to a point when there is no longer any forward momentum because it has exhausted its resources,” he told the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung in an interview.
People here try to subvert expectations with their takes so much that it's no surprise that there are so many posts saying there is nothing wrong with this and to not use it if you don't agree. If the post wasn't specifically drawing attention to the unusual code of ethics, people would be dragging it through the mud for the potential to generate bad PR or some other example illustrating why 'successful companies keep their codes plain and boring for a reason'.

There are pros and cons to the theatrical version, so I think your opinion has merit. The original script had vo, and that fits with the noir movie style they were trying to achieve. Unfortunately Harrison Ford was not into doing vo. But it is a more concise version.

Well if we think the site is a honeypot then I don't know what to tell you at a certain point you need to decide if you're gonna click an unknown link or not, and if you do, engage in harm reduction.

Vue's is especially nice in that it handles deep and imperative updates.

For example: you have an observable foo, and it has an array bar. You can read foo.bar directly instead of needing a wrapper getter function. You can also update foo.bar = … instead of needing a setter function. You can also call foo.bar.sort() and Vue will pick this up.

I see lots of small reactive libraries but a lot of them will not pick up something like foo.bar.sort().

> If you look at a DevOps engineer job description, it looks remarkably similar to a System Administrator role from 2013, but...

> If DevOps was supposed to be about changing the overall culture, it can’t be seen as a successful movement. People on the operations side of the fence will...

As someone who was keenly watching this stuff back 15 years ago, parts of this article connect with my understanding, but the core problem I have is that this article itself is somehow bought into the mistake that led to the failure and so almost can't see the failure for what it is: the entire point of DevOps was that "operations" isn't a job or role anymore and has instead become a task that should be done by the developers.

Ergo, if you even still have operations people to comment on it--or certainly if you are somehow hiring dedicated "DevOps" people--you aren't doing DevOps and have already failed. The way to do DevOps is to fire all of the Ops and then tell all of the Devs that they are now doing DevOps; you simply can't have it both ways, as that's just renaming the same two camps instead of merging them into a single unified group.

I’d encourage you to consider than one of the public goods Reddit provides is to homeless teams & vulnerable people escaping abusive family.

Given the incredible breadth of services available to those individuals & yet the very real evidence that it continues to be a significant societal challenges, it’s worth considering the role a supportive community of random strangers play.
Do you think American doctors would be more willing to go to prison over an abortion? I don't see much difference in the two countries in that regard, if anything American doctors also have to think about their student loans and are probably going to be more religious (Poland has a big Catholic problem but in the US having a religion is basically the norm)
At some point on my MacBook Pro with two LG Thunderbolt/USB C displays, both of which can charge the Mac, I got used to plugging in the secondary display first and the primary display second.

It's possible that Apple has fixed the bug/feature that originally trained me to perform this ritual, but I haven't had any problems since. Sleep/wake cycle works fine with both external monitors powering down and up as expected.
I already tried to get it transcribed in Google Cloud so that I could get a summary email with a map, stats and the recorded notes in text form, but it didn't work. That was around two years ago, so maybe nowadays it could work. Also the notes are spoken in German which was bad back then and have some degree of noise in it (gravel, wind).

Edit: I just tested it with the recorder app on my Pixel 3 (played back via headphones pressed against the phone's mic) and it was able to transcribe it with almost no errors, so there is hope.
I have to ask then, what films do you like better than Interstellar?
I have a love/hate relationship with that show. I love the unique weird concepts throughout. And the actors portraying the androids were phenomenal. But many of the script/screenplays were just bad? Despite being bad, I really wanted to see where the concept was going!
Maybe, but the entire county is run by the good ol' boys network. Good luck getting the police to investigate or charge the mayor, and good luck in court.

Part of the chilling effect is the incentive against pursuing justice in cases like this. The single mother was already publicly targeted and made unsafe, chances are that the public targeting will get even worse if she pursued justice against her harassers.

These same people in power who led this campaign against her have sycophants in the local media who have no problem using their wide reach to smear dissenters like they do every election season, even for minor Board of Ed elections.
Sounds like a license to be intolerant, if only you can convince people that your opponents were intolerant first.
Calling it the "greatest of all time" seems like a total exaggeration. That being said, I've found it interesting that a film that in many ways seems so dated manages to have such a hypnotic effect on me every time I watch it. I think it's just one of Ridley Scott's directorial gifts that he manages to conjure up such an infectious mood in so many of his films. Of course, the other example is Alien. I definitely love a good viewing of Blade Runner when I'm content to chew on some slow paced sci-fi.
I prefer to blur the lines and work with cross functional teams where everyone owns everything. On my current team our front end engineer is able to fix infra, our backend engineer designs and deploys infra. No dedicate devops needed. We use TypeScript for everything: AWS CDK, TypeScript backend, React (TypeScript) for frontend. These are relatively small systems though.
Thx! You seem on a good track now, and don't regret what's past! Anyway, good luck in your future endeavours.
Depends on what you think Developer Operations should be. Our developers instantiate their buckets, databases, cache instances etc. themselves, deploy microservices themselves and update configuration, traffic management and scaling parameters themselves. No 'system' people required. The system people are mostly just keeping the automation running and add features as needed.

The work also really isn't the same. Unless you're stuck in the 90's we aren't building servers, installing operating systems, installing applications and installing patches anymore.
The worst thing about DevOps engineers having Dev part of their title is that they started to believe they know better than the devs what needs to be done and how.

Oh you need a queue here.. Nah you don’t need Kafka..

The Author here is right.. first listen to your customer - the developer
My best experience boils down to:

1. Stick to basic “non-smart” monitors that provide a USB-C port

2. No hubs/docks, single USB-C cable between monitor and Mac

3. Use Lunar for adaptive brightness: https://lunar.fyi

From what I tried so far, the LG 27” 4K line has worked the best for me, with no video signal issues, no sleep/wake problems, good DPI scaling and smooth brightness control through DDC.

And I’ve used it with all MacBook Pro models since the first 2016 TouchBar until the current M1 Max.
I've used SQLite in the long past (early 2000s) and had fun with it, but I had never seen this. Imposing your religious beliefs through a ..code of "ethics" no less, in exchange for some (arguably small) thing you've done that is completely irrelevant to these beliefs is ludicrous. While I secretly hope that the author is light-spirited in writing this, I will err on the safe side and never use, and actively steer folks away from using, SQLite in the future.

Incidentally, the page has some internal consistency issues:

```
Honor all people.
```

has historically not played well with:

```
First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength.
Deny oneself in order to follow Christ.
Prefer nothing more than the love of Christ.
Put your hope in God.
Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself.
Fear the Day of Judgment.
Be in dread of hell.
Desire eternal life with all the passion of the spirit.
Keep death daily before your eyes.
Know for certain that God sees you everywhere.
When wrongful thoughts come into your heart, dash them against Christ immediately.
Listen willingly to holy reading.
Devote yourself frequently to prayer.
Daily in your prayers, with tears and sighs, confess your past sins to God, and amend them for the future.
Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do."
Do not wish to be called holy before one is holy; but first to be holy, that you may be truly so called.
Fulfill God's commandments daily in your deeds.
Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ.
Never despair of God's mercy.
```
> If you have a truly diverse group of people, they will not suffer fascists in their group

Not sure why one has to jump straight to fascists.

Shouldn't a truly diverse group of people always include people with views that you disagree with?

Otherwise we're defining a diverse group as 'looking diverse ' yet all thinking the same.
With good modding, no code is needed. And with bad modding, the best code imaginable can achieve nothing. It is all down to the quality of the modding.
This is literally what “Seinfeld is unfunny” trope is about. The original, groundbreaking work gets quoted and used so much that a modern viewer doesn't see anything original in it anymore.
Yes, nothing you added is in contradiction to or invalidates my statement, yet I shouldn’t “forget.”
I hardly think renaming it will help anyone. Also, it just sounds like you and your ops team sucked at DevOps, I don't think that's true everywhere.
Ask HN: Learning to Have Tough Conversations
I think I’m generally a good conversationalist and speaker, but I’m terrible when it comes to really tough conversations both professionally and in personal life. I’ve always struggled terribly to break off unhealthy relationships or tell employees that they need to get their act together. Whenever I have to do have a tough conversation like that, I end up wanting to downplay things and finish the conversation more positively.

I’ve read lots of general advice on this and know that dragging/downplaying things is usually worse for the receiver as well, but I haven’t been able to get better.

How do I learn to have tough conversations?
I think it’s just like the difference of being spoon fed some yoghurt compared to having a full course dinner. That being said I still find YouTube better than Netflix, or worse, TV in that regard - at least you chose the yoghurt and some of it is actually pretty healthy (e.g. some of the top notch educational content).
"Science overcomes nature" is one of the most boring, unthoughtful, cliché stories people can write.
No, science does not do that. At best you can say progress makes fighting nature a little easier, but wes sure as hell are not going to "overcome nature" - ever.
Your desire to "overcome nature" IS nature. It's absolutely paradoxical to overcome it, you're just doing what nature tells you to do, lol.
I think I’m really done with the idea of success being a unicorn company. Bandcamp profitably supports something like 100 employees and makes thousands of indie musicians a significant amount of money. That feels like a smashing success to me. I don’t need a private island.
I was also baffled by the "interstellar is trash" line. Maybe I watched it wrong.
Well, you wasted no time whatsoever in playing the Nazi card.

If you're willing to hear a counterpoint: I disagree wholeheartedly with your worldview, and yet I support your right to express your views. See, I'm not looking to "silence", "suppress", or "destroy" you, even though I disagree with you. Please make a mental note that people like me exist and not everybody who disagrees with you is a fascist.
