> At the end of the day it's just sloppy as fuck.

Exactly. Totally innocuous example that aptly illustrates the problem:

My local station did a story with an attached video about the cool new airplane CalFire got at a local base. At no point did they identify the aircraft by name, where it came from, why CalFire received it now, anything about its performance other than it carries 3,000 gallons of water & retardant, or even which airplane it was as they panned around the apron.

If even a single editorial review is apparently too expensive, what's the point of paying attention in the first place?
Maybe there's a go library that implements that "kill but make it look like an accident" functionality on HN a few days ago? :-)
I can confirm it's quite accurate.

> And where did I comment on the gruesome nature of what was done?

It was implicit in your response. The acts I cited were gruesome, and your response implied the response should be to replace them with better-regulated, more antiseptic version of the same act.

It's possible the interpret your comment as an extremely aloof statement of fact without implicit policy advocacy, but that interpretation strains credulity.
Sam Zeloof alone managed to manufacture chips with the early 1970s technology in his garage using old fab equipment bought cheap (sadly don't remember the exact budget): http://sam.zeloof.xyz/

Maybe with more people and more capital this could be scaled to something that can be sold, like replicas of classic CPUs.
Might be worth comparing them with other cloud providers rather than niche supplier software.

I realize that Go's original release is later than Python's, but they still feel roughly the same vintage to me. Usually, these articles have a "old to newer" feel, but these two ecosystems feel just different to me. Which is not bad.

What would be fascinating is to see some HN links to articles where the journeyman programmer went backwards in time, e.g. "Learning Fortran as a Python developer" or something like that.
Well, sometimes, and more frequently now at really small process nodes, but mostly no. Most electronic failures are basically mechanical and thermal cycling will cause fatigue failures more than elevated temperatures will accelerate things like electromigration. Lots of people still use 1960s style handbook methods anyway because there's no plug-and-chug replacement.

"...they're not rich enough to be deemed an "accredited investor"..." startup investing is not Kickstarter and both the investors and the recipients tend to like knowing that there is some merit behind the money.

"...are of the wrong nationality." not sure what you're trying to imply there but regardless of whether you're investing through a "decentralized" investment system or "traditionally", you're still going to have to abide by the laws of the jurisdiction the company is in.

"...nobody can prevent me for entering into mutually beneficial financial relationships" and nobody can help you if the "mutually beneficial financial relationship" (which is quite a bold thing to imply) is going to turn out to be one way beneficial ;-)

The short answer is... the web moved in a different way than expected and the useful portions of rest were preserved while other portions were jettisoned (the biggest one IMO isn't the hypertext portion (JSONs fine, it's fine) but the self-discoverable portion - I haven't seen a self-discoverable REST API ever in the wild).

Unfortunately the name REST was too awesome sounding and short - so we've never had a fork with a different name that has proclaimed itself as something more accurate.

I don't think this is awful, FYI - it's sort of the evolution of tech... the OG REST wouldn't have ever gotten popular due to how stringent it was and I can use "That it's RESTful enough." to reject bad code practices without anyone being able to call me out on it because nobody actually remembers what REST was supposed to be.

I'd also add - what precisely is self-descriptive HTML? All descriptions need reference points and nothing will be universally comprehensible - let alone to a machine... expecting a machine to understand what "Insert tendies for stonks." on an endpoint is unreasonable.
What does Cognito lack?
When used in an API, HTTP acts mostly as a transport layer. There's no HTTP result code for "your request was successful but your Smart Washing Machine is out of detergent", for example.
Literally every one of those things can be applied to Twitter, and yet no one has tried to get Twitter deplatformed. I mean, really, Twitter was subject to public outrage only a few years ago when people uncovered Saudis openly bragging about their child brides on the site and people started mass reporting them... and yet Twitter remains online and unmolested. There is a very clear double standard present.
What you are suggesting is the criminalization of using Ethereum unless it is through a permissioned company. This would be a laughably draconian legal landscape. China and Russia’s bans on crypto is not something to look up to.
I regularly interview devs and ask, "What makes a RESTful API RESTful?" and have never heard anyone mention hypertext or hypermedia. A typical answer is: stateless, uses HTTP and HTTP verbs, and (if the person is over 40) easier to read than SOAP.

Related, it seems like "API" is quickly becoming synonymous with "web service API". In my experience, the thing that goes between two classes is almost always referred to as an "interface" only.

I used to think that any such sliding into a country like Gilead would happen fast, and the population would not allow it to happen, at least not to such a crazy degree. But lately, it certanly feels like we're all frogs in a slowly boiling pot, which is slowly turning into Gilead.

I got pretty carried away writing the thing as if it were a mid-century technical repair manual for a piece of industrial equipment, and never got around to publishing it but here you go: <https://crussell.ichi.city/gpe.html>

It could really stand to have an associated 90-second video demonstration that walks through the steps because of how unorthodox the the-documentation-is-the-implementation paradigm that I was experimenting with is.

One of my favorite ideas was told to me by my uncle who works in the die cast industry. He met a guy who made lug nuts for Semi tractor tires in his garage. One item, and he made a living off of it. I have always thought that this idea was the perfect example of how to get started in an industry. If you were ambitious you could start adding more spare parts one at a time.

I'm an author but I'm not rich. Therefore the only way I can afford to write books is because people pay the publishers who, in turn, then have money to pay me.

If you want to preserve human culture, you want to make it possible for the non-rich to help create it.

If you want to write books for free, go to it. But what the IA did was just plain wrong. Plenty of bookstores like Powells were operating remotely during the pandemic. Many libraries had curbside pick up. Amazon was still delivering. There was no reason to run up the pirate flag.
I think this is beside the point. Most religious folk don't possess some special moral wisdom. When a Christian equates abortion with murder, they're typically parroting a belief they've accepted dogmatically from their preacher or faith community, not stating some organic belief emerging from some lengthy Socratic process. So yes, most (but not all) pro-life folk are imposing their religious beliefs on others.

Of course, one could argue that pro-choice folk are equally susceptible to dogma, but it's not as though they're forcing pro-life folk to have abortions.
thank you! still WIP

AWS/Azure/etc. are just not the place to get up a low cost personal server. I think the free tier confuses people into trying it, but ultimately what you get is a tiny VM with limited services that is designed for you to rapidly outgrow.

That's okay though, because that's not why the big clouds are valuable. I'm going to refer specifically to AWS, but I also include Azure, GCP, etc. AWS is not cheap. If you only need a single host, or a small fixed group of hosts, AWS is an expensive option with little to justify the added cost. What you're paying for with AWS isn't just the resources you use, but the resources AWS keeps available for use at a moment's notice. If you don't have that need to scale your resources up and down, the costs of using AWS become harder to justify.

If the goal is to do it on the cheap, a $5/mo vps is going to do better than the AWS free tier. If you need more power, the price gap between a bare metal private server and an equivalent AWS instance just gets bigger as the server gets more powerful.
Yeah, IME that's what the anti-choice folks say about the pro-choice folks, but I've never heard it from actual pro-choice folks.

Yes, there is some joking about "post natal abortions" for certain extremist politicians, but it's never serious about permitting after-birth abortions".
Agreed. At that point, LaTeX not only all but requires you to use styles, .tex files are text-based for easy version control.

I wouldn't necessarily say I'd endorse LaTeX for collaboration per se among people who don't normally use it, but I think it points the way toward what a good collaborative writing tool would look like.
Even for the term Semantic Diffusion.
That's a largely unanswerable question. What defines "human"? Is it the sequence of DNA? Is it the presence of a soul? Is it some level of thought? The first is knowable. The second is absolutely not knowable. The third is a bit squishy - is thought just synapses firing, or does a person have to articulate that thought into language (or something else)?

To me, it's viability, which is itself fuzzy and gradually getting to be a smaller window. Carry a fetus long enough that it's viable, you should carry it all the way (newly arising complications as an exception). Before that, it's not human enough to outweigh the costs/risks/etc to the mother.
> the useful portions of rest were preserved while other portions were jettisoned

Not even remotely. All portions of rest were jettisoned, and the nice branding got slapped on familiar rpc.

Fielding’s rest was never about http-specific concepts, not the verbs, not the status code, and not cute-looking URLs.
Those are few and far between; grasping at straws to get the outcome that we want is closer to the truth.
It requires a linux subsystem, true, but not a fully fledged VM. The subsystem still shares the file system with the primary OS, for a start. And while I haven't tried it, the instructions for installing AppImage on WSL (for example) don't look trivial.
Yes, that's the hard part. Often times harder than the mfg work. I believe he took over the contract from an acquaintance.
It's down to utility.

It turns out that using JSON is easy, has good support and is relatively compact on the wire.

It also turns out that using HTTP verbs and transferring the entire state of an object makes development easier.

And equally, for 99% of use cases, it turns out that HATEOAS is nice but not necessary.
Libraries are government approved piracy.

This can be taken as being positive about piracy or negative about libraries. I think the real question is not which way I mean it but why does the average user see one as positive and the other as a negative, thus causing the conflict when the two are linked by this statement.
I meant star hierarchy (server, everyone else is a client) versus peer to peer network requirements. Not group call vs one on one call types.

I have no doubt the original vision of REST will eventually come to fruition. It will probably be "discovered" by some energetic entrepreneur in future and by used to incredible effect. I believe the rest of us are just going along with the flow and earning paychecks.
I strongly disagree.

I would consider myself a "creationist", in that I believe than human beings were created by God, for a purpose, and with intent. I also believe that the mechanism through which human beings came about is entirely understandable and is well-described through our current understanding of evolution via natural selection. My beliefs are not at all at odds with scientific understanding because they focus on "why" - not "how".

The people I believe you're referencing are usually called "Young Earth Creationists". They, as a group, reject the vast majority of mainstream understanding of biology, geology, and astrophysics.
I don't think Python packaging is as bad as people make out (if packages only stick to the basic features of Python!) A far bigger issue I see is despite Python supposedly being 'cross-platform': the language introduces so many small, backwards-compatibility breaking changes that you really need to use the most up to date interpreter you can.

For instance: there is now a really cool operator that lets you do expressions where you assign a value and evaluate the result in one line. So you can write the C equivalent of something like while(buf = recv(...)) ... and it will work. Well, any program that uses this new feature won't run on anything but the most bleeding edge Python versions. Despite a program only needing a small fix to remove such expressions. It wouldn't run at all.

I think the Python interpreter needs to be 'smarter' and add the capability to automatically install parallel Python versions if it detects a package using a more recent interpreter. Would honestly solve so many issues.
Great response!

AWS does have a couple of annoying un-configurable limitations:

* There is a Global Accelerator idle timeout of 340 seconds for TCP connections

* And a Global Accelerator idle timeout of 30 seconds for UDP flows.

These timeouts are not customer or support-configurable.

Many customers have requested configurable Global Accelerator timeouts and AWS at least has a feature request open for it, but we have no way of knowing how or if they're prioritizing that.
You didn't read my previous post. I am not up to date on the latest words, but I'm fine with a person being able to change their gender. I am just blown away by the defectiveness of your reasoning process though. Speaking of which.

Using the term “robot” instead of "non-biological person" is even more concerning to me. Are you anti robots? It’s difficult to read this as anything other than an indirect attack on robot persons. I can only assume you are a hateful awful person because you refuse to recognize that robots are people. Denying that robots are people is similar to all the racists who denied that all races are equal. /s <--- That tag means the last paragraph was sarcastic reducto ad absurdium because you are really hard to get a point across to.

Besides, you want to figure out what my political beliefs are in another area to decide if you should be pro or anti-robot. This is how the modern world works. Nobody examines the argument, they just want to know what your other beliefs are before they decide to agree.

I recently had a discussion about the California propositions with people who I consider highly intelligent. Disappointingly, They did not care to read and discuss the actual propositions, they only wanted to know who was supporting or more importantly, who was AGAINST the propositions and funding the propositions and that's the only thing that mattered. Nobody can come to their own understanding of a matter, they had to rely on authority or analogizing it often very poorly with something else.
This is me, 100%. I've seen enough to realize that progress is largely each generation re-thinking and re-mixing the previous generation's problems. Sometimes the remix makes things better, but plenty of times, older generation look at what's being done and says, "wow, you really don't understand what this was originally intended for" and there's a pain in that misunderstanding and inefficiency, watching work get redone, wars being refought, and hard won triumphs being forgotten.

That goes for technology, words, political concepts, music...

> However, in the same vein, if you want to host said Nazi pride event and need to find private companies and businesses to provide catering and other services, they all legally have the right to tell you to fuck off, and if that means you can't find ANY services, then that's too bad for you, stop being such an insufferable prick.

Substitute 'Nazi pride' (whatever the hell that actually means) with 'being black' and tell me you still support this. Go ahead. I dare you. Public accommodation laws exist for precisely this reason, and I'm not at all convinced they shouldn't be applied more broadly.

> The right of assembly is essentially codifying "if you are a cunt then nobody will want to deal with you" into law.

If you're not being a cunt to at least somebody then you're probably not saying or doing anything of consequence. Once upon a time it was legal to own other human beings until someone started being a cunt about it. Sometimes that's exactly what the doctor ordered.

Unfortunately, many European countries have laws (not just regarding abortion) which almost directly reflect the religious establishment of the country.¨

In general, the more catholic a country is, the more heavy handed the (abortion) laws seem to be.

Even seemingly progressive countries have various quirky laws, which are nothing more than the ghosts of a religious past. Still a hot topic in countries with multi party systems, where small niche (and often highly religious) parties can have a say on a small number of issues.
I've given this advice elsewhere, and I'll give it here. Go look at the small business initiatives by each branch of the U.S. military; many are now posting lists of open contracts that you can bid on for an incredible array of things.

Browse through those lists and find something you can build.

I really believe the U.S. military is in the midst of a large scale transfer of military spending from traditional large defense contractors to smaller, innovative companies. The Air Force has even opened its own venture capital arm and is actively investing in small businesses. Most, if not every, branch in the military publicly posts contracts for small businesses to bid on.

I think Anduril is a great example of the possibilities in the "new" defense space.

What's interesting is this shift is very reminiscent of military manufacturing in Japan during World War 2; much of the manufacturing was actually done by small businesses of < 30 employees in "garages" scattered around the country instead of very large factories. That was one of the reasons American bombing by Superfortresses was so ineffective at first, and one of the reasons incendiary bombs began being used.

Happy to provide more detail on this. I've been thinking about this space for awhile.
I'm also curious how this would work with a regular grid instead of hex-tiled. That is, if you blended the seams and randomly rotated each square as they do with hex-tiling, would it still look good?

And are they splatting a random hexagonal sample from a repeating tiled plane, or are they splatting the exact same image, but arbitrarily rotated? That is, are they using the fact that the image tiles cleanly or does this technique completely obviate the need to use a tiled image?
The idea here is you can get graphics via a ssh connection. You don't need to setup a web interface to collect and process metrics.

REST, in its most strict form, feels like it was designed for humans to directly interact with. But this is exceptionally rare. Access will nearly always be done programmatically, at which point a lot of the cruft of REST is unnecessary.
