Agree and disagree - it really depends on why you are going to micro services. Is it because you have too many people trying to work on the same thing and you’re architecture is just a reflection of your organisation. Or is it to decouple some services that need to scale in different ways but still need to sit on top of the same data. Or is it some other reason?

I think the dogmatic “you always need a separate database for each micro service” ignores a lot of subtleties - and cost…

But aren't there dozens of other companies that sell the same product? Nicotine vape pens? Why is this calling out Juul specifically, and not all nicotine vape pens?

I think it would be a net win for society if the whole concept were killed, or regulated/marketed to help long-time smokers kick their habit. Nobody needs this stuff, even if you enjoy it.
No idea :)

I verified with the band (Belle & Sebastian) that it was legit and they wanted me to be involved, but beyond that I'll find out tomorrow.

From the prelim questions, I understand that their angle is looking at the early web and the music industry and that this is one of two they're initially researching. They're interested in Belle & Sebastian due to the 1999 Brit Award win https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_Awards_1999#Belle_&_Sebas... and how websites connected fans to bands. They're also interested in Wilco as they believed that to be the first instance of a band publishing a whole album on their website (but B&S did that before, but I thought we were late to the game so someone else must've been first). It sounded early stage though, so I figure their research will inform and help evolve their ideas.
Inflation is crazy right now, so expect it to only go up.
Well this sent me down a tangent since I had never heard of this. Per https://www.cga.ct.gov/2001/rpt/2001-R-0858.htm (circa 2001) the only states that require a fingerprint are California, Colorado, Georgia, Texas although apparently Alabama and Florida used to do so. Feels pretty crazy to me

I'm pretty weird and flakey, but I'm also committed and serious (though not humorless) about working towards the nice future. :)

I see you have an email addy in your profile, I'll email you a little later today, after more coffee.
I happen to know (quite well) an Iranian who was in a similar position to you before he came to Europe, except he had a lot of IT experience (and a finished degree) before attempting to move to Europe, but it's not working out for him. He's basically prohibited from working while he's trying to get a residence permit. That has been denied several times because he's basically (like you would be) an 'economic refugee'. He didn't speak the local language and he was too overwhelmed with how different everything was here to really learn. He got basically 0 callbacks on the dozens if not 100's of job applications he send out, despite wide-spread labor shortages in exactly the sorts of positions he applied for. Very little to none of his Iranian work experience counted for anything here (differences in certification systems, couldn't/can't get his university degree accredited). He's a few years older than you are (43 I think?) but you'll be too by the time you get out in the time frame you indicate, and this is an age that's already starting to work against you, especially if you're already burnt out.

You'll need 1000's to 10's of 1000's of EUR/USD to move anywhere in the West, otherwise you'll end up in refugee centers from where it'll be exceedingly hard to get/keep stable employment. It'll be very hard to find housing on a budget anywhere where there are economic opportunities in the fields you're looking in, so expect costs of several thousands a month (let's even say just 2k for everything for the two of you) - and you'll have to be able to pay those until you get a job.

As you will know, after you leave Iran it'll be pretty much impossible to get any cooperation from the Iranian government to get any of your paperwork validated/accredited etc (I've seen real problems stemming from that with several Iranians in the diaspora of the guy I was talking about above).

Your wife's job will be very hard to impossible to do here without basically going through university again. And you/she will not be eligible for scholarships. Nobody will really think of her experience in Iran as being applicable in Europe (regardless of how true or not that is), save for some niche circumstances like her being able to find a job working for an Iranian company or a company that works with Iranian companies a lot. I don't have to tell you that there are very few of those around.

Not to be a Debby Downer, but at least if you plan to come to Europe, make very sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Fair or not, you'll be lumped in with 100's of thousands of other Middle Eastern and African refugees, and it'll be very hard to get your foot in the door in professional jobs in Western Europe (and I imaging in Southern- or Eastern Europe it'll be more difficult still, as you'll have basically 0 chance without speaking the local languages very well).

> Not that I support the intention of cops to go at his restaurant in the first place, in the article I read, he swung his knife at the cop as well.

No the article says - Police "alleged" that he swung his knife as well, which he and his family denies. I don't know what really happened but it would be silly to solely rely on cop's version of events.
I have trouble following your post. Paris-Marseille is still strictly operated by SNCF. Some of them might be under their low cost branding but that’s still SNCF and a one-way trip is 37€ provided you book it one month in advance.

Local services will be partially operated by a private company from 2025 onwards but to be fair it will be hard to do worth than SNCF in the south. They are on strike so often they could stop working I’m not sure anyone would notice.
Here's a quote from https://grugbrain.dev/ (discussed here on HN a while ago) which seems very appropriate:

Nope. Most people don’t.

People often _declare_ they care. But rarely support it with money or actions.

Would you join some random forum just for the great UX? I guess not.

Would you leave HN if design became worse? I don’t believe you would.

my first impression of HN was “are you serious?! Back to 90s??” But I got used to it and it’s fine now.
There's still something to be said about the fact that all the mainstream internet platforms don't really encourage much in terms of "internet creativity" outside of the tight boundaries that are allowed (uploading a video, writing text, posting a picture, etc)

The fact that MySpace was mainstream and allowed for HTML/CSS hacking did exactly what the article said -- it tricked a generation of teenagers into learning how to do that "weird internet stuff."

For the most part, if you want to do anything like that now you're gonna be stuck figuring out domains and hosting and whatnot which isn't nearly as fun as typing some HTML into the platform you and your friends already use. So not as many people are going to do it.
Create good content is important, but if no one's ever gonna read it then it's not gonna give you any backlinks.
That's more of a "you didn't mention my recent research on this" than frustration with the "usual scientific news cycle".

(The commenter does have a good point, though -- the writeup is on "Hey, these observations conflict. That's weird!", and the commenter is saying: "Hey, we published a paper on that conflict several years back that we think explains it well, you missed that hypothesis when going over papers that discuss that conflict". It's kinda their pet theory, and pretty wild, but it was still a Science paper/very prestigious/respected.)

This is actually a _really_ excellent general audience summary. It's hard to beat Science's non-technical sections like this for scientific reporting.

Looking at the past tweets from one of the co-founder it is not surprising to see the compliance with the request.

This is nonsensical. "Big tobacco" owns Juul. And couching the shutting down of a company addicting kids to nicotine in terms of equal protection is.. bleh.

My daughter is learning HTML & CSS, as she's getting annoyed with copying and pasting headers.

Her work is ugly as can be, but she is totally in love with it and proud of it. Think back to early Geocities days.

I'm sure one day she will be embarrassed by her early work, but for now, she's enthusiastic and gaining useful skills.
They're rioting now because the companies have the food and keep raising prices. I'm talking about eliminating that inequity by turning profiteering into UBI.

So let me just first say that just sending a CSV/JSON/YAML/whatever file to professional translators and expect good results back is just not going to work. We've done that and sometimes the context is just horribly wrong. The only way to get good results is for the translators to actually see the UI or even better run the app themselves.

But I'm interested to hear how you would solve the presentation issues you mention. I absolutely think the right way is to have translations be HTML fragments. How else would you know what part of the sentence should be italic or contain a hyperlink?

> What blows my mind is cigarettes are on the market but are _definitely_ not safe

The FDA is allowed by law to regulate vapes. The Supreme Court ruled that the FDA wasn't allowed to regulate tobacco. Congress fixed the SC's complaint and since then the FDA has been moving slowly to prevent another (harder to overcome) legal issue from the SC or to lead to prohibition.

That's why the FDA is suddenly proposing rules limiting nicotine and menthol flavoring in cigarettes.
Nothing a little CSS can't fix:

Is it a case here that "we" just didn't hear about it, or that the impact of the knowledge never made it outside the community/region. Did it matter to the people living it? Seems like absolutely yes. Did it endure beyond that community or region? Maybe they do not mean "insignificant" altogether and simply mean insignificant within the context of the ideas and knowledge that endured and were built upon to arrive where we are?

I'm genuinely curious as I feel like this touches on something broader. I think about this with literature and poetry. There's a wonderful effect as you read through time where there are various dialogues happening. People sort of reacting to each other and speaking across generations and cultures. Ginsberg reads differently when you understand his relationship with the Greek epics and other poets before him. I guess my point is, and I may have bungled it spectacularly and just get told I'm an ass, something might not be insignificant unless evaluated as part of a larger context and historic dialog.

edit: removed my ignorant line about the book of optics.
At inception it was just a website that redirected you. There are variations of this created all the time but centered around essays and journalism. It would be trivial to create what is basically a glorified copy of SU, but no one cares enough to do it. Or more accurately, they already exist and we collectively don't care enough to notice.

I'm never going to buy an Apple M* at actual price points.

I was merely pointing out that ECB has nothing to do with the prices of Apple products, compared to equivalent in the US.

Apple raised the prices outside the USA and kept the same prices in the US.

An author I discovered only in the past decade, though he's been active since the 1970s, is William Ophuls.

He was amongst the first to write of the political dimension of addressing global catastrophic risks. Initially, that was largely focused on the concept of resource limits. Global warming isn't unrelated, though it's a sink limit: boundaries on the ability of the environment to absorb the consequences of human activity without making that human activity itself untenable.

What Ophuls realised, and what I'm increasingly convinced of, is that it's not the technical element, but rather the political, social, cultural, and economic (commerce, finance, trade, power) aspects which will prove the most challenging. And he seems to have been correct.

I strongly recommend all his work, though Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity (first published in 1977, revised ~1994) and Plato's Revenge (2011) are probably the best starting points.

As he's on in years, I've looked for others who are carrying on his tradition. Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon is referenced by Ophuls several times and seems closest:

Amelio did do three good things:
* replaced Spindler
* failed to buy BeOS
* bought NeXT

Spindler's Apple is responsible for the Performa sub-brand (although Amelio didn't kill it).

> After releasing a total of sixty-four different models [in five years], Apple retired the Performa brand in early 1997, shortly after release of the Power Macintosh 5500, 6500, 8600 and 9600, as well as the return of Steve Jobs to the company.

What would you rather do later on? Move on to management or stay an engineer? (eg. building up knowledge in specific tech stacks).

Job titles don't may not mean much while you are at the same company, but once people review your CV, it's a BIG deal. Having a leadership experience opens doors like no other, both on the amount of offers and salary.

The catch is that you will be expected to have lot more soft skills - raw coding chops are not that important for an engineer, even less for a team lead. If you are up for this, and you feel fine at this company, it's probably worth to stay in the lead position for ~1y and then look around with your refreshed CV.

I would imagine so, and I would think that out of 100% of their chips, they would have more which passed the lower RAM standards than the higher ones. So the higher RAM chips (which passed) would be more rare, so to speak.

While most people do have stable iris patterns it is not the case for everyone. Numerous conditions can cause changes in the eyes. Glaucoma being the most obvious one, but there are a whole host of other conditions like lisch nodules, Uveal melanoma, etc.

However, perhaps with training, identification could be made in spite of changes to the iris.
Have you seen how much it costs to get crowns or implants? There’s zero incentive for innovation, people keep bringing their money.
You do require time, though. If some study project requires a few person-years then it's simply not going to happen as someone's hobby, you need funding for that team.

And in biology (which is the context of the original post) you often need uninterrupted time, as you can't pause a live experiment if you get busy in your day job, no matter if it's bacteria or mice.

If we don't consider funding, we're effectively saying that science should be the domain of independently rich aristocrats living off of inherited wealth, as it often was a few centuries ago.

Agreed, but I'll go a step further and say microservices are really valuable when you have products that are powered through a reasonable DevOps and CI/CD support within and organization. If you're a company that only releases quarterly, a monolith probably makes sense. If you're a company releasing changes daily / hourly, monoliths make progressively less sense and become progressively harder to work with.
When we release software (a lot) our downtime SLO is generally zero minutes. If you're a well out together outfit with strict discipline, this can be achieved with microservices.

Inversely, monoliths almost never have to deal with multiple components at different release levels, so they don't do a particularly good job to support it, which is why you often see hours long upgrade windows for monoliths. Shut everything down, deploy updates, start everything back up and hope the house is still working plus the changes.
