There's no reason to create an entirely new language. Since k8s manifests can be represented in JSON, you can use existing templating languages like Jsonnet [1] in order to generate it for you. All we need is an official library.

Interesting how seemingly-at-odds this is from another highly upvoted trick: the one that begins "Understand the problem and solution before coding." Hard to find that balance sometimes between "just dive right in" and perfectionism.
Are you suggesting car drivers move to smaller towns where it's actually economically efficient to use them? You wouldn't want car drivers imposing their noise, pollution, financial cost, infrastructure cost, and displacement on the millions of other people trying to live their life. It's very insightful of you to imply that cities should be designed for people, and not cars, so those millions can actually use the density to their advantage.
TLDR: some temporary memory used for ray-tracing was allocated off-chip instead of on-chip, one flag was missing when creating the allocation.

Can confirm the usability problems - during the recent brief heatwave I popped into a local store to treat myself to a rare guilty pleasure of a McFlurry. After confirming, printer paper error pops up, giving the option to continue. Clicked ok, but no re-presentation of the order number. Could remember it anyway, but unimpressive for a mega corp
Right, but the point there is that you have some of these inconveniences until you "move up" in socioeconomic status and you can afford a detached home. People may not like sharing walls, but they probably like that more than just not having a house. Personally I went from the barracks, to a rental house for college with roommates, to my own apartment near where I worked, to a condo, and then to a SFH. Had I not gotten married I'd probably still be in the condo. Even in this "traditional" path you can see the variety of living arrangements.

One problem is that these (as you call them) stopgap options are mostly non-existent or if they exist they exist in good neighborhoods that were built properly and are economically out of reach. Another problem is that it probably doesn't make economic sense for everyone to be a family in a single-family detached house. Plenty of young people or widowers or whatever may not want to live in a single-family detached home with all of the associated maintenance and work that goes into it. We need options, and a variety of living arrangements available for different lifestyles and different economic factors. Frankly, nobody is going to build cheap SFH. It's a contradiction. Focusing on that just means you build houses for the extremely wealthy or the extremely poor.

If you are wondering why, it's because home builders like any business chase ROI so they're going to build homes with $350,000 in materials and labor that they sell for $600,000 and then the poor don't have housing but the government has the political capital to build low-income housing, so nobody in between has great options. Home builders unfortunately aren't going to buy land and then build $175,000 3br/2ba homes and turn around and sell them for $250,000. It just doesn't make economic sense for them to do so. They can build condos, townhomes, and other mixed modality living arrangements and make enough money on them, but that's about it. And naturally they're not going to build in the middle of nowhere because they have to find workers and also because people still need to live near jobs.

I don't see how replacing all UTC in software with TAI is more realistic than breaking UTC sync with UT1 (isn't it literally doing the same thing?). The whole point is that going forward, leap seconds are going to get harder to deal with. Especially in the case of a negative leap second, which seems like a more "true" y2k-like scenario.
I would rather have a consistent and predictable gas bill than have erratic mechanical costs and a far shorter car lifespan.

Also gas is dollar cost averaged as you buy it over the lifetime of your car usage.

I'm not saying there isn't a point where gas would outweigh the indestructibility of the Toyota SUVs. I think that point is closer to $8-$10 a gallon like it is in EU.

One could do a proper discounted cash flow analysis but again the problem would he unpredictability of car maintenance on a non Toyota SUV.

And also ask yourself, would you rather a loved one get in a crash driving a Golf or a 4runner?

I understand the sentiment. I've felt dismay at seeing many generations of personal and work laptops turn into e-waste. It just isn't practical to keep them operating and relevant. Laptop LCDs used to be more trouble with fluorescent backlights, but since the switch to LED backlights, I've seen laptops (and smartphones) look nearly identical on their last day of service as their first.

For me, it is the battery or motherboard+thermal solution which seem consumable and prone to failure. If these were modular and could always be replaced with contemporary upgrades, I could easily see myself using the same screen and chassis for decades. The basic 14 inch ultrabook format is close to its asymptotic ideal, I suspect. This could even justify having a little more invested in the chassis to make it even more robust, such as some more exotic titanium alloy or whatever.

But, for me the supported service life would really need to be decades with compatible modular parts. I would not want to be stuck looking at obsolete replacement parts from somebody's dusty warehouse when I have the need or impulse to refresh the machine. I'd want the replacement module to have options with the now current CPUs, GPUs, RAM type, networking, storage, and other IO ports. I would not want to be operating a time capsule of obsolete components.

I think, from anecdotal personal experience, that a lot of people harbor deep seated emotions of anger, fear, and hostility. This makes it really difficult to communicate with them, as defensiveness and distrust are often a part of their reaction- and they sometimes lash out with personal attacks, whicb can beentally exhausting and discouraging.

Even with close family members, it is difficult for me to be able to explain my ideas without encountering a barrier in their reaction where they refuse to consider what I have to say.

I think, and this is just my theory, that a lot of people have traumas (sometimes ones they themselves don't realize relate to their associations with the subject being discussed) that make it hard to communicate and they may not know how to approach considering their view might be wrong, or even not wrong but just not the only valid way to look at an issue.

It's extraordinarily difficult to approach certain topics without also encouraging people to confront their biases and encourage them to question things they regard as absolutes- as I mentioned, even with close family members, it's very hard to communicate and have discussions.

It's not an easy thing for them to do, granted, and there is also very little incentive for someone to introspect on why they feel the way they do about something, even less for them to acknowledge there are alternate ways of approaching topics- even hypothetically.
That's a fake account spinning the narrative.
I've worked on the software side of things. We typically just build web apps and run them using Chrome's kiosk mode (https://blog.suitebriar.com/chrome-kiosk-mode-what-is-it-how...).

> No, that wouldn't exclude malicious customers, it would only exclude customers who don't have a lot of money. You'd just select for the customers who are both malicious and wealthy.

If domains cost $0, claiming all potentially useful names for yourself costs x*0=$0. Someone will inevitably do that, making them the exclusive owner of almost all domains you could ever want to buy. As a consequence, 99% of potential future domains would be owned by malicious actors, who could charge astronomical prices for them. In other words, if you make domains free, somebody will snatch them all up and sell them for a lot of money.

If you need to make a payment to get or renew a domain, such an attack becomes far more costly. Getting the first 100 English words is probably worth it, getting a combination of all possible names and surnames probably isn't, unlike in the free version. That way, you can still find interesting domains that you actually need for low dollar amounts.

> In practice, blockchains aren't decentralized at all. This much was obvious to anyone involved, since the first bitcoin mining pool formed in 2010. By making the system costly to join, you're only accelerating the process of centralization.

Even if you can make a 51% attack, the security of the system isn't compromised. Sure, you can prevent domain registrations, transfers and updates for a while, maybe even reverse transactions done in the last few blocks, but you still can't take over anybody's domain without having their private key.

> Cryptocurrencies didn't solve this and never will. A blockchain isn't legally binding, so tracking ownership just can't be done there. At best, you can have something that's an approximation of ownership, but still requires a trusted authority (i.e. an oracle) to make the final say on what the ownership actually is.

You don't care about ownership in the legal sense, all you care about is that if Mark Zuckerberg owns the private key for Facebook.com today, nobody can do anything to Facebook.com tomorrow without his consent.

> This is just shifting the problem. Now instead of worrying about trusting the root, you have to worry about trusting every single key out there, and make an individual decision for each of them.

All TLS really guarantees is that the server you're contacting is trusted by the owner of the domain you typed in. In the current system, you need a root of trust to accomplish that, blockchains give you that property for free.

This is a really lazy response, but given the possibility that you genuinely don't understand the gp: Writing better software and reducing the (currently massive) waste of energy on enterprise bullshit and cryptomining would have a meaningful impact on international energy usage, and so help climate change.
I don't know about Java, but it's trivial to import a .NET library in Python with a high-level mapping that takes care of everything GC-related automatically:

Sorry, I don't buy that either.

Single family homes are objectively nicer in many ways. Some, like mine, are even in very walkable neighborhoods. I've lived in apartments and houses, and I'd take the house every single time. That's not because I grew up in a house, either. I hated housework as a kid and the family thought I'd be a downtown condo dweller until I actually wanted to buy a house.

The vast majority of people do not care about walkability. Maybe that's because they grew up without it--even given that, you can't seriously tell me the vast majority of people would pick the "missing middle" over a small house in a walkable area given the choice.

If I was forced to pick between walkable + apartment or house + long commute to anything, I'd do the commute every single time.
Actually, yes. This is a viable and relatively safe way to recycle tires, which otherwise would be a horrifying ecological disaster (most non-recycled tires end up going into caches that end up catching fire, tire fires are some of the worst things for the environment).

During the processing of tire rubber to be used as playground mulch, it's cleaned, and most of the worst contaminates are removed. The worst thing in the recycled tires isn't heavy metals it's carbon black, and in both cases it shouldn't matter unless your children are eating the tire mulch.

Then it becomes unclear where the state begins and the (mega) corporation(s) begins.

I'm neither for or against this strategy. I only wish, quixotically, the misc belligerents in policy debates would be intellectually honest.

Honestly, I think you're both wrong. You shouldn't be trying to minimize or maximize your use of dependencies. You should add a dependency when it makes sense and write your own code when it makes sense.

Doing more complex time and date work, then a good solid library for manipulating datetime variables will save your sanity. Need to right justify a string to set length then using a leftpad will leave you at the mercy of a random author on npm.
I think "academics" who sell the reputation of their university to Uber on the cheap have very little to do with academic freedoms. This example seems a bit too obvious to me.
I see a class as the implementation of an interface. The "interface" part of the class should be public, while the "implementation" part of the class should be private. That way, if you ever have to refactor or change the class, you can be confident your colleagues haven't built stuff on top of the "implementation" part of the class, and that you can change whatever as long as you maintain the same interface.

Porsche 944s and 928s are far more rust resistant than most American or Japanese cars of the 80s or even 90s. Likewise with Volvos. The classic 911 was an old design that went through iterative improvements, and the 964 is better rust-proofed than most American or Japanese cars of the late 80s or 90s. Old Audis tend to have minimal rust, and old Mercedes-Benzes like the W126, W124, and W201, while they certainly can and do rust, their bodies tend to far outlast Japanese and American cars of the same era driven in similar conditions. Old W124s still soldier on as daily drivers and winter beaters in the cold and salty environments of post-Soviet states with mostly OK bodies, whereas Japanese cars of the 1980s almost all rotted away beyond repair being worthwhile more than a decade ago.

Regarding value creation, in economy there is the smiling curve [1]. It states that throughout the product development, the R&D stage and marketing stage create the most value in the sense of profit margin whereas manufacturing itself create the least.

IMO there is a third kind of value which is management. Things like software maintenance, customer service and all sorts of people work that are considered chore by many software folks.

Anyway, I agree with carmack. I used to think marketing is worthless. Now I realise how difficult is it for others to buy in the vision you have. Essentially what marketing does.

It probably also lets the compiler do more optimizations than it otherwise would've, but that's just a guess and largely compiler dependent.

Outside of library usage though? Mostly counterproductive in my experience.
So what they are worried about is an entity that does the following:

When you cite 2016-2020, of all years, as a time of political peace and high intellectual discourse on HN, that's a strong indication of a perception in the eye of the beholder. HN was under intense political pressure during that period, presumably because of what was going on in society and world at large.

We even tried an experiment to reduce it for a week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13108404. It was a disastrous, hellish failure. But we learned a ton, so in that sense it was a success.

As for YC founders trying to game HN, that's also nothing new, nor is it unique to YC startups - all founders try to do this, or nearly all (probably the ones that don't are the ones whose content would be best for HN - that's an irony we struggle with in lots of contexts).

The question is whether these founders (YC or otherwise) are succeeding in gaming HN. If they are, or if anyone else is, I need to know about it. From my perspective, what I see are a lot of failures to do that—but of course that's subject to hindsight bias, or sample bias, or whatever the bias is where we're more likely to see the cases we caught than the ones we didn't.
You have a lot of questionable devops ideas on the blog that are out of touch with what the (dev)ops field has learned. The points made here show you don't have enough context about the things you say need to change or are not good solutions.

In some ways, this is like asking lawyers what you should do for a situation to be successful and avoid court.

Some of the best can, but it’s not the way they’re generally wired - similar to Engineers and art. For lawyers, you’ll usually have more success giving them a concrete contract or scenario and asking them for all the things that could go wrong.

That, any competent lawyer will do well at. You can then go down the list, ask questions re: risks, etc. then.

For marketers, you’ll often get better results (as noted by a peer comment!) giving them something already and asking them to market it.

It’s less unbounded that way, less analysis paralysis and you kick things into the gear they are used to using all the time.

Knowing what is marketable is a different skill than marketing, in the same way engineering design and systems architecture is different than writing code.

Why should all purpose be removed from UTC if the alternative without leapseconds (TAI) already exists? Just use that if you don't want leap seconds.
"off by a minute" from what exactly?

Shifting the timezone by a couple seconds does not prevent or hinder cataloguing events in any way whatsoever, certainly not more than switching to daylight savings time does or the mere existence of timezones, which may easily be half an hour or even more off from the solar time - the offsets we use for time are effectively arbitrary already, and adjusting the arbitrary choice of the offset by some seconds is not a fundamental difference. Event timestamps already map to different days depending on different timezones, you do need to know which timezone your clock is using, of course, but you already need to do that.
