The cheapest somewhat predictive model for the other humans is that they're just you.

This is why young children fail the Smarties test. They now know the tube has a pencil in it, therefore under this simplified model other children know the tube has a pencil in it and that's the assumption they report when asked.

But under this model if I believe something then that's what you believe too, and if you deny it then you are definitely lying. Loads of Americans resolutely believe that all humans know the Christian God is real, and it follows (under the too simple model) that whatever it is they believe about that God is necessarily apparent to everybody in the world, therefore anybody who says otherwise must be lying.

There are a lot of tools in AWS to deal with this. Api Gateway Rate Limiting, WAF, etc.

That said it does take a level of awareness to set these things up. Some of what we try to do at SST is turn on these for you automatically so you're not being punished for not knowing something
Nah, I wish though.
That's a very literal interpretation of the story. Another interpretation is that there are multiple paths to your goals that can be very very different and lead to the same destination.
What do you use for type-generated CLIs? I've been using Pydantic for config parsing and Cleo for CLI, but I don't yet have a good solution for hoisting/injection of CLI arguments alongside env/file configs.

I really want a declarative solution like Rust's Clap library, but I haven't yet found anything like it out there.
I get your point but since most locks are pickable does that mean that I shouldn't bother locking my doors?

The threat vector I am defending against is one baggage handler in one airport putting drugs in my bag and another baggage handler at the destination airport retrieving them.

Why would they go to the hassle of having to fiddle around with a bag with a seal on it leaving prints in the process? If they want to use my bag to smuggle drugs they will most likely just rip the tags off it. If I kick up a fuss at the destination airport they will find nothing out of the ordinary in the bag and assume that customs inspected it at departure or the seal somehow broke off in transit.
Well architects designing large systems through and through are maybe like composers

Your run of the mill dev would be more like a studio musician hired to play a specific instrument in a specific genre.

Surely, he/she needs to be able to come up with lines/hooks/riffs/solos (when asked) and play part in the arrangement but composing from scratch and for multiple instruments would be rather out of scope.

While there's no direct audience for studio musicians (only the output matters) there are definitely performance expectations and the studio musicians are expected to be efficient.
Why do ppl obfuscate like this? k8s is a control plane + api and client and workers. Don't make it weird. If you do then control the weirdness: the hooks are all there. To me it still looks like client/server with some development overhead based on gRPC + REST, state + eventual consistency. When I was learning linux in 1997 I had butterflies in my stomach - it felt amazing working with tech that I could do _anything_ with. k8s is the only thing in 20+ years that has ever given me that feeling again.
Instead of e-ink displays, I wish companies would try to make strides in transflective lcds [0]. If more companies invested the time and resources, I think that the potential cost savings and technological benefits (such as a higher refresh rate and no ghosting) over e-ink would make a killing.

Right now, I only know of one commercial product [1] currently being made that is taking advantage of this untapped market.

I'm not the OP, but WordPress is quite complex to maintain. Technical tasks like upgrades, backups, security, server maintenance and testing are all your responsibility unless you pay someone good money to do it.

It also takes a lot of effort to get great loading performance with it. A “free, simple visual SSG” without these problems would be much more attractive to artists or designers.
Religion isn't enough to be the primary driver here and it's becoming less important with time.

We've raised a 2-3 generation on popular dogma in which human life is the most sacred thing imaginable and now we have a society full of people do not generally posses the requisite mental faculties to have adult discussion about subjects that involve harm to people (or apparently fetuses). We're reaping what we sowed.

You see this same "arrive at an obviously sub-optimal solution because we can't nut up and cause a little quantifiable harm to get to the better solution" problem across many subjects. Abortion is just one of the most obvious.
Religious people in the US get very uncomfortable when other people violate their religious tenets. It's this feeling of discomfort that religious people feel the need to eliminate.
Yes, of course it lets stores increase the rate of checkout, because their workforce is every customer so they're only limited by the number of machines they have, instead of being employee-limited. That's still not automation. The same labor is being done, the store's just not paying for it now.
Right. It seems to me that both sides would be better off at advancing their so called goals if they could compromise and offer concessions, but that never happens.
Working people pay the taxes. As in most other systems.
The syntax makes it a foreign language to the modern ear, but eventually you acclimatise. Of course the naff bits are still naff. But once you have a taste for the poetry, nothing matches it. It's ended up being my supreme form of relaxation.
> Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg argued roe v wade was a mistake because it placed abortion rights into constitutional law rather than letting democratic institutions decide an issue like this.

That's an oversimplification of a very nuanced and pragmatic view that is better explained here:

"What Ruth Bader Ginsburg really said about Roe v. Wade", Washington Post https://archive.ph/jJENv

It's not that she felt the rights granted by Roe were wrong to grant, she was worried that it would not be insulated from legal challenges.
I'm not claiming all news sources are equally trustworthy - obviously the NYT is a better news source than Fox, and both are better than "my primary school friend of Facebook".

My point was that we all have blindspots when the news sources we have chosen to trust are feeding us false information. Also, the problem isn't that people don't choose a news source to trust, it is that they choose a bad news source to trust, and this can happen for very different reasons.
Blue noise image stippling in Processing
Also a willingness to consult (be a contractor) and/or relocate to where the best jobs are. Not everything is Zoom-able. Programming, in theory, can be done anywhere, but in practice that's not true, especially for old-school jobs where skillfully interacting in the (technical, people, etc) environment can be more than 50% of the actual job.

In the U.S., sometimes those jobs are in silicon valley or New York, but sometimes it's Omaha or Charlotte.

If you are mobile or even slightly mobile, make a list of places you are willing to relocate to and then pursue those roles. If you're willing to travel internationally, even better. Most of the limiting factors that make you say "oh, I'd never want to live there" can be assuaged by saying, ".. unless I was making enough money and it wasn't going to be forever."

The combination of willingness to travel and experience/skills in something really esoteric is a rare-enough combination that you'll always have a good job, even in a recession, and often you'll have your choice of excellent jobs.

Like your point, this definitely applies for plumbers, too; it's really hard to do highly paid plumbing gigs in Tokyo or NYC over Zoom.

Remember, unlike most startups, with consulting or jobs, you only have to sell one product: you. So, how unusual the need is doesn't matter. There might be only one job in the world for that. What matters is that you are one of the very few people who can fill that need. When it comes to consulting, niche thyself.
So, does she regret having the twins or do they happen to be the best thing that ever happened to her?

Don't confuse actual Christians with Republican Christians. The latter aren't worried about the welfare of others.
Which indicates it's an enforcement problem, which can be solved by more thorough checking, gates that read/charge, or just giving up and declaring that everyone "living in the city" gets a pass.

I've often suspected that metro fares are basically an excuse for the cops to kick bums/undesirables off the train.
That's what they say. I want to see the actual data.

I think part of the problem is that really in order to get proper data.... You have to actually hire the people who failed the interview.

So i actually doubt google has any good internal data. Not unless they hired a bunch of people who failed.
I really like the idea of Deno and Fresh's philosophy also resonates with me (I'm a Rails guy). I would like to see an integrated ORM (can be an existing one) and testing framework though, before I would consider it a "full-stack" web framework.
If I was interviewing a candidate who asked me these questions it would be a pretty negative signal because it would tell me they had not even done cursory research before interviewing.

I would prefer clarifying questions about the product or market showing they had done basic research but didn't grok everything, but there are no cookie-cutter questions for this.

(startup role, but I'm not sure it matters)
Hilarious.

I think the major thematic element of the story is that the industrial revolution was already happening and the societies that rejected it were failing.

The hobbits were basically isolationists and it simply took the scouring to reach them.

The Rohirrim were basically obsolete. Living in wooden houses in the hills and plains raising horses and sheep.

Gondor, once the great home of civilization and a beacon of prosperity, mostly destitute and hardly able to resist the influence of Mordor.

The elves were almost completely drained, having fought a war of attrition against a superior enemy for thousands of years. They were preparing to emigrate from the land at the beginning of the stories as there were so few of them left.

Mordor was where the industrial revolution was under way. Sauron had clearly united several nations and had been involved in trade with them for hundreds of years. He’d shown the orcs and humans that followed his cause how to make coke, mine coal, and produce the vast quantities of goods required to field an army. Nothing they made was the quality attributed to the crafts of elves, dwarves, and the other ancient civilizations but they made up for it in numbers, in trade, etc.

Ultimately though the reason Gandalf didn’t have a big rifle was because the major theme of the story was one of resisting industrial revolution. Tolkien often spoke of, “the Machine.” I think he was essentially an anti-capitalist.
What are these resources and support you talk of? Do they provide housing for a homeless mother? How able food to make sure the mother and child is healthy? Health care during or after birth?

No? Sounds like these places are just predatory abuse centers, masquerading as "help"
If they allowed medical marijuana use during off hours this would probably turn around rapidly for just about all of it's branches. I remember back in the 2000's soldiers were injecting other people's urine into themselves to not get dishonorably discharged...
> And then lost the popular vote in 2018 and 2020. Not sure why 2016 would be particularly relevant

Because those 2016 results dispute the meme that Republicans are some kind of obvious and permanent minority with no democratic legitimacy whatsoever.
I get your point.

Thanks for being so upfront on the advice, and it's something I'll definitely consider.

What I was curious about is why is HN regarded as such a good place to promote your own work, if in general, this sort of posts are frowned upon?
Even the SNES is substantially more complicated than the NES. The tooling available to examine the SNES games like NES games are at least pretty similar, but the capability and complexity of the SNES is a huge step up from the NES.

The N64 content is a different league though. It's not nearly as easy to understand and follow. Plus, Mario64 is written in C and most of the content I've seen has been people adding features to it (HD upgrades, ray tracing, 60fps, etc).
Police are peace officers with sworn duty bestowed lawfully and transparently by the state and supported by agreed upon best practices. I see no ethical qualms with courageously taking out the shooter.

Private citizens conspiring to trick other private citizens, is not in the same ballpark or league.
This article was written yesterday, but this is pretty old news, no? I thought this was already a well established, well known fact. I can recall Krystal and Saagar, of Breaking Points, covering this months (maybe year+ ago?). I also think The Jimmy Dore Show has covered this quite awhile ago too.

There is also the "goodness how much delay-causing problems can a single project have?" Dragonbox Pyra. Although the most recent video gives some hope it's finally about to ship (and they're going to make use of the ability to have modular upgrades so the product is hopefully not completely dead on arrival). They have my respect for hanging in there so far despite everything though.

Same unexpected worlds colliding for me while drinking coffee from a Lost Art Press mug this morning and seeing this article's author on HN.

The mug is as close as I get to woodworking on most days, unfortunately.
I’d think if your rate of spending is >$50/hour then that’s nearly-always a bug. The only reason this conversation is taking place is because serverless “infinitely scales”. Autoscaling physical instances has a max limit for similar reasons.
A couple ideas:

- If you live in a state with the ability to report abortions, gather a Republican list and report random names. This creates a lot of noise in the system.

- Do what these clinics are doing. Take pictures of people who work at them, create a page on the location listing all employees, and put it in a searchable database. I'm normally against doxxing or public shaming, but this is actually dangerous and deceptive.

- I am pretty sure what they're doing is also a HIPPA violation.
Seems like you would certainly know! Thanks

A common problem with fiat currency is that it is actually difficult to create a definition of the money supply that is actually relevant.

Bitcoin has an upper bound on the money supply but the actual money supply that is circulating is much smaller, it could be 25% of the supply and thereby negate these crypto market caps. With the USD each dollar circulates once a year but it is hard to track how big the bitcoin economy is. What is the GDP of black markets using it? Hard to know.
This is why we have the bodily autonomy argument as a strong proponent of abortion rights. Fundamentally the argument's validity does not depend on the humanity of the fetus.

I think arguments that depend on proving that the fetus is less human are fundamentally doomed to fail.
Why didnt many human civilizations like Egypt, Rome, China, etc have an industrial revolution? Many of the technologies like steam engines and clocks were in Rome and China. However they were mire curiosities and never scaled up.
I can't remember the last stage performance that didn't leave me wishing the director had paid attention to Hamlet's advice to the players. Even and especially the RSC.
Ok thanks for clarifying. I thought the EUR 1099 price tag was for this pocket computer (PocketReform).
>Before reaching this "blackhole" state, I can start to feel when I get tunnel vision.... at which point, I distance myself from the problem.

I learned to do this as well after many late nights of making no progress, only to basically solve the issue in the shower or on the way to work the next day.
Except that (virtually) nobody on the right truly believes that it's full fledged baby murder. They believe it's bad, but clearly, from their response, it's not anywhere near as bad as that.

If your government/heathcare/someOtherOrg was grinding up babies post birth at scale, or any equivalent, I'd expect the response to be more riots and bombs, and less "Let's campaign for fifty odd years to get the capability to ban it in a number of states".

Edit: Response to "of course they do": I strongly disbelieve that, simply because of their response

There were ~600k abortions in 2021. If the right truly believed in their hearts that an abortion is directly equal to a murder, they'd basically be giving a pathetic response to what would be an absolutely "Final Solution" level crime. Estimates of the Jewish death toll were ~6 million and was responded to by full fledged, hot war. If their response to a holocaust every 10 years was "we'll slowly eke forward over 50Y, and manage to get bans in just half the country", that's a hell of a pathetic response.
Not sure about ORM, but Postgres.js[0] works on Deno. For testing, Deno includes a built-in test runner and assertions via the std[1].

A foetus is less developed than my toe. I don't see anyone calling to give my toe human rights.
People get seduced by specifications that don't really specify anything.

Conversely there is a lot of pushback against W3C standards because they are specific and unfortunately people don't see that at freedom (freedom to choose tools that interoperate) and don't see the slavery in being stuck with poorly specified "standards" that are controlled by one entity.

GraphQL is improved (we almost know what the algebra is) but originally it was an asymmetric specification meant to keep power in the hands of Facebook.

That is, they didn't want to specify what the exact rules for traversing the graph are because they have commercial reasons for controlling what information you can get plus some responsibility to protect user's privacy.

Schema.org was another asymmetric standard, as it wasn't particularly good for exposing semantic metadata that people could consume as such (it took me a few years to really figure out how) but it was great for companies like Google to make a training set that would ultimately let them extract entities from documents that aren't marked up. It achieved some popularity because there is no limit to the hoops people will jump through if it improves their SERP rating from 78 to 55.
Only while they’re in the womb though, once they’re out they’re on their own.

I would argue that denying a woman with pregnancy complications a lifesaving procedure is *way* more analogous to murder than abortion.
Pornhub is working on something I hear
It's a very shaky premise. Using that same logic I can derive: "If you want to meet with me, it's your responsibility to set up your mailbox filters"

In fact if one cares about the said mailbox, there would never be any significant number of unread emails in the mailbox.

This article is just a lame attempt to excuse self-centered people who couldn't be bothered
But what happens once everyone is sending 4+ follow up emails?
I would assume the idea is that this is native to the deno runtime whereas some other frameworks like NextJS and Remix are "node native?"
Not conceiving children is clearly not the same as killing them after conception.

That said, there are plenty of people that would agree with the idea that we should have as many babies as we can. Utilitarians for example, and many traditional Christians.
Rather than don our tinfoil hats, let's instead apply Occam's razor.

The Supreme Court is packed with Catholics. Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and even one coming in with a dissenting vote (Sonia Sotomayor).

Abortion is a wedge issue that drives Republicans to polls. It's as simple as that. The GOP is unconcerned about the consequences of this policy. It's only there to get GOP voters to the polls.

Roe V. Wade being overturned also has nothing to do with the viewpoints of any particular party or individual Supreme Court justice changing. The GOP has been anti-abortion for about as long as I can remember. The difference here is that the GOP got three Supreme Court picks in one 4-year presidential term, swinging the court rapidly toward the right. This is the GOP exercising its newfound power to achieve its long-stated, consistent goal.

There are much more effective ways to boost military enlistment than banning abortion and waiting 18 years.
Last time I checked in the displays in the sizes I am interested in (>= DIN A2) are in the lower five figure ranges ... for that price I could buy several real art pieces that I like :-)
Firms that are getting value out of semantic web tech are often very quiet about it because they see it as a secret weapon.
Funny enough these are the exact questions that founders need to ask themselves before committing to an idea. YC has overly broadened this to “make something people want” which at first order needs to be true. The questions you’ve laid out here are the direct implications of “make something people want”.
Time, money and space are all fine limiters and happens to be rife in the US, not to mention other places. Sometimes you can be without one of these (maybe something is cheap to start or needs little space), but you really need all three to do anything meaningful with these.
>And which side “represents less than a plurality of voters?” Republicans won a majority of the Congressional popular vote in 2016. They got a million and a half more votes than Democrats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_House_of_Re.... They’re on pace to do it again this year.

You left out the Senate, the other house of Congress, which Democrats won by 10 million votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_Senate_elec... using your comparison metric.

This coupled with Presidential votes, even though technically only the electoral college counts, makes it quite fair to imply it is the Republicans that represent less than a plurality of voters.
This feels like a tragedy of the commons. The person being emailed has a finite amount of attention. Sending additional emails will only prioritize your topic for their attention until everyone does this trick, at which point the advantage of multiple emails will converge back to zero.
The name seems a bit aggressive.
I’m confused by this comment - what’s the problem here? The processes is slow and manual? While I get that that’s an issue in its own right, how does that connect to this post? What does “they basically have what you gave them” mean?
Not trying to be mean, I seriously just want to understand this comment. Thanks!
I’m actually quite good at leetcode (or so I like to think). The reason people are annoyed is that they must jump through hoops for something that is a poor signal of job performance so it feels like a waste of time.
