This is clearly not true. Having a second factor helps maintain security in the situation where your password is compromised (phishing is just one scenario). It isn't perfect, and can itself be defeated. However, compromising an account with 2FA is demonstrably more difficult than one without.
I reference back to it for a lot of info too, which I guess I should probably load more of into my own notes database. But still today there were a bunch of saved comments I wanted to re-read as reference multiple times, definitely noticeable to miss it.

I agree rails costs 2-3x on servers, I just think that tends to not matter in a business context because those costs are small relative to everything else.

What really moves the needle is R&D effectiveness. If your servers cost 2x with rails but your devs also produce 2x, that is a trade that is a good one for many businesses (especially startups and saas companies)
What I am saying is that you don't need to worry about any of that. Sure, if HN permanently shutters - you'll need to go find a replacement. But HN isn't going anywhere, as far as I am aware. You don't need redundancy for your online community/content consumption
As far as I understand, this contention goes to the heart of Plato's epistemology. Platonic forms have their reification in the mind and, in particular, in memory. (As opposed to existing in some separate abstract universe.) IOW, quite literally if you haven't memorized something you have no possession of the truth. At best you enjoy a shadow of it, just like in his allegory of the cave where the physical world that you see with your eyes is merely a shadow of true reality. It's only people who have memorized something (i.e. can turn it over in their mind as a whole) who can see and understand it for what it truly is. To see reality is to quite literally possess it in your conscious mind. If all you possess are fragments, or merely knowledge about how to acquire it (i.e. know of it by reference), you possess nothing--you know nothing.

EDIT: It's a little more complex than that. I think Plato identifies the "soul" as where the forms maintain their persistence. So in a sense everybody possess reality within them. Memory is a portal into the soul; it's how you "see" it. Notably, the Christian (and especially Augustinian Catholic) concept of conscience is derived from this Platonic model. That's why Christians say that knowledge of right and wrong--as well as God, etc--is imbued within every person from conception. I doubt that that's a particularly novel idea among world religions, but the way it plays out in Christian theology is heavily derivative of Plato's model.
Good advice. But it can break down if the company says "we can't afford to hire someone to take over that part", and if they won't let you hand it off to someone more junior. Basically, if they are using you inefficiently.

If that's the case, still write it all up. Tell them where it is. And leave. (Because the problem you're feeling is not fixable within that company.)

Looked up alternative ways of castling in chess because I'm very bored of the standard kingside and queenside castling so, I was trying to find strategies using the old style of play like before the two-piece-one-move castling of today was formed. Right now it seems a lot of games I play online end up with the same openings. Chess 960 helps with that, but I don't like to play that all the time either.

There is a long and dark history to moralizing and even legislating how and when consenting adults can have sex with each other.

So maybe it's a bit like discussing eugenics. It wasn't a particularly difficult topic when people like Plato were abstractly philosophizing about ideal societies, but it is a charged topic today because we have seen where that road leads in practice.

It's also easier to ask people to make shared sacrifices which everybody should bear equally.
I think GP is wrong-as-intended, but is still somewhat correct-as-written, indirectly.

Amazon's growth has pushed various companies out of business, reducing employment opportunities at companies other than Amazon. So any employee who works at Amazon for lack of other opportunities, and if those other opportunities would have existed if Amazon hadn't put them out of business, then yes, that employee is poorer.

This scenario is somewhat contrived on an individual scale, but it seems obvious to me that corporate consolidation and monopoly-ish-ization should lead symmetrically to monopsony-ish-ization in the labor market. But I am not a professional economist and I would be interested to see any actual research on this topic.

I have a lot of experience in both places. Americans may think think they do, but I don’t think so. As bad as Comcast and others are in the USA, I have found them to be far more efficient and competitive than Rogers or Bell in Canada.

Same for banks in Canada. It’s unbelievable what they do and get away with.

And airlines. Rather, Airline.

I believe there’s a cultural element here: Canadians are more risk adverse and place a higher value on “established” companies and brands. This influences consumer behavior and legislation (Canadians don’t seem to care about laws that make it hard or impossible for market entrants).
I loved that part at the end of the book! It's the sort of thing that makes me love sci-fi: A "What-the-hell-if?" question to ponder and toy with. And to spark the reglious part of our brains; even (especially?) in non-religious people. In his books, Sagan encourages people to feel as in awe of the natural world as some do with religion. With that in mind, it fits. And, as little mysticism can be fun in a world with rules. Stephenson includes a (somewhat) similar mysticism in Cryptonomicon (And in a few of his books that followed it)

With books, Amazon has become the opposite of a search engine for me. I have to use external resources to actually find the right titles, to enter them 1:1 into Amazon search to get to the books. Context based discovery has become next to impossible (which I used it before a lot for). Something must have changed in their indexing algorithm a while ago. Also many results are flooded with garbage, like some ridiculous "notebooks" with similar titles to the searched book or product name.

> Rails costs 2-3x more $ than other servers because of its poor performance.

That's just not true.

The vast majority of time for most web apps is spent in database calls. A typical runner up on time spent is remote system calls, which, if you accept the monolith tenet that maybe you don't need those, are minimised in a Rails app.

If your app does anything meaningful, typically, that "meaningful stuff" so massively dwarfs the part of the time "in Rails" that worrying about the framework time is optimizing the wrong order of magnitude. I base this claim on looking at multiple real-world Java, Node, and Rails apps in New Relic, and during performance testing. Hint: the rails app outperformed both.

Oh, wait--do you mean server costs? If you are talking about 2-3x more in servers, perhaps.

Have you compared dev salaries to server costs, though? Here again, you'd be optimizing a small cost when you should be optimizing the big costs that matter.
I question your good-faith intentions here.

> The bad guy with a gun has already shot someone.

So here you start from the assumption that the person was shot and killed.

Shooters miss; they may also miss vital points.

While I am in full support of not asking too much of open source maintainers a cooperative stance makes the overall situation better for everyone involved. This could have been handled in a better way.
In the ISP world, what will happen with Rogers buying Shaw...

In the western provinces, AB and BC, Rogers runs a very widespread and strong LTE network. What they do not have is a DOCSIS3/coax and GPON cable TV plant. Nor do they have much terrestrial right of way for aerial plant or underground in conduits, which is where Telus (the historical copper POTS ILEC) and Shaw (the historical cable TV operator going back to the mid 1970s) are by far the strongest.

Rogers is a facilities based last mile cable operator/terrestrial operator in Ontario.

Shaw runs the landline cable tv networks in most of the metro Vancouver area. And many other small to mid sized cities in the west.

Letting Rogers control both one of the largest/strongest mobile phone networks and the only viable land line terrestrial broadband competitor to Telus by acquiring Shaw's cable tv plant is an absolute outrage.

To use a USA analogy, it's like if T-Mobile already owned RCN (Astound) in some big part of the country and then proceeded to buy Comcast.

Or if Verizon bought Spectrum (Charter/historical TWTC cable).

> It feels extremely productive to work on Rails

It is. Nothing comes close. It's a shame there's such a stigma around it otherwise.

I do think that we're seeing the pendulum start to swing from microservices/cloud/PaaS everything back towards simple architectures and simple deployments and I'm hoping Rails sees a bit of a renaissance with that.

> Rails seems a little harder to share code between the web app and mobile apps

I've personally never seen this done well, ever. At least not in a way that the amount of code that can actually be usefully shared is worth the effort.

Even worse than rude, it would be unproductive. If you were to recieve a report about a critical security flaw, would you ignore it simply because the reporting user was rude in the report? I should hope not. So why should normal bug reports (and confusing UI/UX issues are also bugs) be treated any differently?
Conceptually, yes, it solves a small corner of them.

I'm going to ballpark migrating from Epic to OpenEHR without losing data would probably cost you something around $500/patient. So consider a medium-sized hospital that has 250k patient records. $12.5m project. That takes 2 years. (I'm considering all the places that Epic has custom integrations with other systems, with your insurer, etc, in that $500/patient, which is probably low, but gotta start somewhere). Add in the cost of re-training staff to use the new EMR, finding out after implementation the 'shadow IT' systems like someone exporting data to an excel spreadsheet and then doing a huge workflow on that that no one outside the department really knows about but is absolutely vital to the pharmacy's ability to operate...

OpenEHR can help address some things for one part of the system. But that is like saying fixing OpenSSL bugs will make all the internet secure.
Standard anti-patent language to neuter the patents against AV1 users and implementors. Until patent reform occurs, it's the best we got, and the closest we can get to keeping FOSS patent-free.

Hotwire is an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire. This makes for fast first-load pages, keeps template rendering on the server, and allows for a simpler, more productive development experience in any programming language, without sacrificing any of the speed or responsiveness associated with a traditional single-page application.
