Not sure how much is sincere here, but a monolith typically means "not microservice architecture" and has very little-to-nothing to do with the ops side.
I don't have the answer either. But you might be able to find some traces in their blog: http://blog.archive.org/category/technical/
Thank you for your explanation.

After we press the return/enter key to tell bash to "run the command", is bash doing everything from here (ls is not part of this bash part right?) including switching off the bracketed paste and re-enabling it?
They’re all avoidable by just not using them. Use that fancy text message feature of your phone to communicate. 30 years ago these apps didn’t exist and people somehow continued to exist without them.

But that's not quite the same as interviewing with the webcam off.
I don't believe that. There is a certain point where its just impossible, you can't make something like that.
The main purpose of cash (aside from drug empires) is that you don’t need a centralized service to make transactions.

I use Amazon Pharmacy and thoroughly happy with it.

Local pharmacies were modifying prescriptions on the way from the doctors' office to the pharmacy by insurance request and Amazon doesn't do that, or at least, Amazon lets me get them as-prescribed and not use insurance. Plus, their uninsured price is actually cheaper than the local pharmacy's copay price in many cases.

I live in California, if relevant.
I think the idea is that the shipping time will be too short to allow freezing the tampered-with phone into a new block of ice of such size, and the scratches prevent it from being substituted by a pre-frozen replacement.

“Ted Wang, a former start-up lawyer and an investor at Cowboy Ventures, was so alarmed by the loans that he published a blog post* in 2014, “Playing With Fire,” advising against them for most people…”

The magic is when you build an abstraction, then another one on top of it, and then a third one on top of that. Now you have a system which is starting to look inscrutable because of its complexity — “magic” if you will humor that language of mine — and yet you, the author, know that it is just three logically separate systems stacked on top of each other using each other’s interfaces.

Log data from each request. Map reduce it into an SQL table. Render the statistics with a JS graphing frontend. Use a pub/sub to update everything in real time. It’s all just plumbing but the overall effect is of something much more.

To an outsider, that is the magic. Software engineers know better — it’s all very well taking a design and implementing the vision but what is much harder is coming up with the design and idea in the first place. Some days you’re on fire implementing component after component without ever really having to rethink anything — you got the interface right first time, or you understood the problem well enough to keep a component small enough without it creeping into multiple areas of concern.

Some days… weeks… it is far from clear what to do next. You know you need to migrate this performance critical code that exists verbatim (copy and paste!) in these two repositories and instead turn it into a single first-class dependency which implements the compute using a GPU instead. Some of the infrastructure of the original code is written in Python. Some in bash. It was written with no thought for making factoring easier and the whole project is in use in production already.

When you’ve got a mental model of what to do you can churn through this kind of work in a week of intense coding. When you have no idea where to start things can feel very hopeless.

If you’re just programming then you’re probably very smart and able to figure these things out without breaking a sweat, or you have a tech lead
who nudges you in the right direction with calm competence that belies the fact they wake up at 4am every other night to reach for a legal pad to sketch out yet another potentially doomed idea to reduce technical debt that literally never sees the light of day.
I'm not sure which is harder to imagine:

1. Programming without google

2. Programming (a web app) without webdev tools

When I first started learning development in the early 2000s, it was php, jquery, html, and css and very few search results when googling.

When Firebug came along for Firefox, my entire world changed and it was as if lights from the heavens had been turned on.
Eurozone raises interest rates for first time in 11 years
The commissioning report, excerpted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32136991, says there were six micrometeoroid impacts during commissioning, and that this was a rate consistent with modelling. The outlier is certainly worrying but it may just be a bit of bad luck rather than a misprediction.

Their headcounts usually aren't large and they make insane amounts of money

Whats the mystery there?

They pay in cash, and tokens with short vesting periods of a few months which are sellable for cash, saving you 4-8 years of your life working at FANGs or being paid in illiquid lottery tickets at non-crypto startups

Some also pay in traditional equity (the illiquid lottery tickets), but wont pretend like thats the good deal like all web 2.0 startups try to gaslight their employees into thinking

Its pretty competitive. Remove the “crypto” peculiarity and you just have revenue generating tech startups with a product they can give you that’s sellable for cash on ebay, who might also offer you some ownership in the company also sellable at a higher price since there are a bunch of people looking to buy shares of revenue generating tech startups.
> Congress has passed nearly a hundred bills in the last year alone.

A patent troll can create hundreds of patents per year and never release a single product. The quantitative aspect is meaningless without the qualitative.

> I quickly glanced at those hundred bills and didn’t see much in the way of expanding police power or military conquest of Europe and Asia.

Bills regularly get stuffed with unrelated compromises. I can't totally refute the idea that there are police power expansions on this bills or not, HOWEVER nor can you with your rudimentary analysis.
Italy doesn't have a "broken economy". It's a stereotype that just won't die no matter what, I guess. Their politics and everything connected to it are arguably a bit more haphazardly than what's common in countries further north. But they have a solid industrial base and have been economically stable for 30+ years.
I just don't see the point. That 8MW is after the energy loses of converting mechanical to electric energy.

That process is 20->40% efficient (meaning 12->32ish MW is ultimately lost to friction).

A mast is much more efficient simply because it's not doing the mechanical to electrical transition.

Perhaps it's worth it if you charged batteries while docked and used those batteries + mast mode while sailing? A hybrid if you will?

You can’t overlook the deliberate prioritization of certain issues over other issues.

The Democratic Party is a coalition of people who agree on “bigger government offering more services” and little else. Obama as a populist and social moderate in 2008 and got Obamacare with several Senate votes in socially conservative Midwestern states. Since then Democrats tacked left on social issues and kicked the “deplorables” out of the coalition. They’re mad at Sinema and Manchin, who are holding onto seats deep in GOP territory, but should be mad at the party that lost labor and agriculture voters in South Dakota, Iowa, etc.

Folks I know were talking about kicking Joe Manchin out of the coalition for being pro life before the 2020 election. About 1/4 of the Democratic Party identified as “pro life.” 1/6 (mostly Black and Hispanic people) oppose same sex marriage. 1/10 want to restrict immigrant (and that’s after Trump converted a bunch of those voters in 2016). Kick all those people out of the party and give capital owners exactly what they want.
This is correct, but they're only "Microsoft" line endings (CR+LF) when you're encoding a text file. When output to a terminal, they're literal instructions:

CR - carriage return - escaped as \r - move the carriage to the beginning of the line (the "carriage" is the print head of a line printer, think an old dot-matrix or a typewriter)

LF - line feed - escaped as \n - advance the paper one line.

Since all on-screen terminals are "virtual", these are translated to cursor movements. But their origin is in paper output.

If you've ever
seen text that
gets printed like this

...it's because the \n LF line separators in the output aren't being translated to terminal instructions, just dumped raw.

MS decided that both should be kept in text files; Unix-ish dropped the carriage return to use \n; MacOS before OSX used only \r.

Yes, as a consultant Mr. Beck has no concern about code correctness. He only needs it to please the client sufficiently to maintain his reputation. Since users are used to low quality software, that’s a practicable bar to meet just winging it.

And as a seller of programming books, he increases his target audience by excluding the small percentage of mathematically literate programmers and appealing to the majority who find logic intimidating.
The benefit of a democracy is that you can blame the guy who was ruling before you for stuff that did not work well.

This is my criticism of the Chinese party and Xi's unlimited terms. The CCP seems to be alright in many ways, but there must be a transfer of power after a certain period of time. It worked so well for China when power was limited and did not work well when you had unlimited terms.

Let’s be fair, yes the current administration has done all it can to discourage, obstruct, and tax the energy industry (that’s factor 1).

Factor two is ESG initiatives starving the sector of financing/investors.

Factor three is other shareholders demanding cash returns after seeing tons of capex get burned the last go around.

Factor 4 is the industry turned off during Covid (didn’t get a bailout like airlines) and now has to ramp back up.

Don’t ask me to weight these but like the argument around what caused inflation it’s not one thing, but several working in concert.
How do we work together?
The Democratic Party becoming liberal is a recent development.

In 2006, 32% of Democrats identified as liberal. 23% were conservative (the rest identified as moderate). In 2018 it's 46% liberal/35% moderate/17% conservative.

That means that even today, a minority of Democrats are liberals. An even smaller minority are progressives. The Democrats are not and have never been a majority liberal party, although that is rapidly changing.

The reason democrats like Manchin and Sinema block liberal policies is that they are conservatives. Both parties have traditionally had sizable liberal and conservative wings, but they are rapidly polarizing and Democrats are pushing out the conservatives. In the 90s there would be about 20 Democratic senators like Manchin, now we only have a couple.

>In response to the Dobbs leak the Democrats did... nothing.

Everyone who follows politics knew that when Hillary lost in 2016, Roe v. Wade would inevitably be overturned. There's nothing we can do about this in the short term, especially when we don't have liberal majorities.

I'm going to disagree on your main point- social issues are the main problem in the US and they cannot be distinguished from economic ones.

Abortion, for example, is an economic issue. Allowing women to control their reproduction is, by far, the most effective way to combat poverty. A child costs over $250,000 to raise on average, and that's the type of burden that keeps people in poverty. Abortion rights have strong support among the wealthy; this is not a case of the "elites" dividing the working class, it's the working class that supports regressive policies.

Also, wealthy countries that are ethnically and culturally homogenous generally have much stronger social support systems than the US. This is, again, a social issue. Americans don't want their taxpayer money helping people who they see as "different" so they vote against welfare programs. And again, the wealthier and better educated someone is the more progressive they are in this regard, this is another example of working class people shooting themselves in the foot.
I am merely giving you my experience running banks on both sides of the atlantic.

You can explain however you want. Chip and PIN is a big factor of course but is not the only one. ACH is a hot garbage and is a fraud vector which does not exist anywhere else. Remote account opening is a door wide open for fraud and, again, nowhere else.

Cost of fraud includes FTEs involved in managing fraud, software and infrastructure costs, lost opportunity etc. All those are incomparably higher in the US. I don't really care if you believe me or not, it is just my opinion.
It’s easy but very annoying. Especially when you have a secure setup that randomizes identifiers or removes cookies after the session such that the next session and every session after that you get the prompt. And how many people do you think actually take the time to deselect things? Your example here is the simplest case. Many sites it’s much more than 5-7 clicks as the pop up has a tabbed interface with 10+ checkboxes per tab. What was this supposed to accomplish again? Harass users?
Does each web request to an app server have to hit the disk on the same server? And if so, for the entire request duration? Also, what about horizontal scaling which also means that the db is on a different server (likely with secondary / replicated DBs)
Dunno but Spolsky wrote there was some developer velocity metric in some blog post about estimations he was really proud of. So I guess it some proto-Jira with Scrum madness.
I'm as much of a crypto skeptic as the next guy, and there are plenty of decentralization failures in crypto, but you can't have "all these centralized exchanges". The fact that there are so many suggests something worked.

I don't think the promise of Bitcoin was ever that there would be no exchanges, only that no one would be beholden to any given provider. As long as you can pick up your keys and seamlessly start trading on a different exchange, that part of the crypto world is not centralized.
A lot of companies feel that way, tbh.

Capitalism encourages growth. It's considered weird to just stop building things when you've built everything you initially wanted to.

People wanted cars because, for most of the US, they are the only practical transportation method. And even the people who live in the few dense urban areas that could get by without cars don’t want to cut themselves off from access to the rest of the country, so they invariably still owned one and wanted to use it.

> That's fine, just stay on the default settings then.

That’s actually not possible though. For instance, Microsoft is likely to create its own app store, as is Adobe, Google, and obviously Epic, among the many others. So now I will have to install a bunch of app stores just to install different softwares.

I already have this problem on my gaming PC where I not only have a bunch of different app stores, but a bunch of different update tools, payment providers, logins (not just for the games, but for the app stores). It’s a freaking pain in the butt. I just want to play a game on my PC and I have to deal with crap like that. I don’t want it on my phone!

I live in the EU (well, some of the time), and I honestly believe that what the above commenter says is at least partially true. The EU are being protectionist, and usually only pass these types of regulations in sectors they have little to offer in the way of competition.

One lock-in scenario to consider is if you may ever want to offer an on-premise version of your SaaS product. This is what my company is doing now. It's a huge pain in the butt, but it does bring in a lot of revenue.
I really hate these kind of pseudo philosophical science-y advice articles. They do almost only do harm and rarely help anyone. I will not help the people who are afraid to get sick - they will wear a mask regardless, not the COVID-tired people - they just see more fearmongering and it won't help against the antivaxxers - they will ridicule it and point out that there is no research basis, just a thought experiment.

The UK has managed to keep people engaged over Brexit for seven years now. In the US abortion is an ancient topic, but has been a big topic since the supreme court nomination of 2016 and seems to keep people more engaged than ever.

I don't really buy that the nation can't keep interest in big tech regulation for more than two years, if congress and the media wants them to.
> In some collecting forums, there are threads that are over a decade old — and still active, each with a wealth of information about one very specific subject.

Yes! This is why it's so sad to see these being taken over by Facebook groups, which really really sucks at this type of thing. Even threads running for a week or two are horrible UI/UX-wise.

> It is also not suitable to automatically lock/cull old threads on these forums.

This is a really bad feature of Reddit. Say, when I'm searching for a solution to something I often stumble upon a related Reddit thread, which in the majority of cases is locked due to being older than 6 months. In these cases I could've chimed in after finding the solution elsewhere, but now these threads remain stupid and useless forever.

Centralization is good in the regard that I already have a Reddit account so I don't have to sign up to a new forum to post (in those rare cases the post is not locked). But then again there are modern solutions to simplify this as well (Sign in with X).
Data rights are important but not the only issue. We also have right to repair and the environmental concerns. As well as those of planned obsolescence. They go hand in hand.

I use a rival service of One Medical provided by my employer. It’s…amazing. It’s not perfect, but it removes so much of the hassle involved in going through the “legacy” medical system, at least for routine and minor things.

My understanding is that these are “concierge lite” services, and full blown concierge medicine services like MD2 are a whole magnitude even better. Albeit at the cost of paying five figure annual membership fees.
