Eh, i think you're thinking too small here.

This whole thread is full of people saying things like, "When _I'm_ building a webapp," and "_My_ projects end up loading slowly," etc. Google is saying things like, "When 400 people are working on a web app, how can we avoid it turning into a shit show."
Nice! Good to see Zig adoption picking up. Fastly's Compute@Edge platform (https://developer.fastly.com/learning/compute/) has a section on "Custom SDKs" using languages outside of the supported SDKs (currently: Rust, Go, JavaScript) and in there you'll find Zig and Swift https://developer.fastly.com/learning/compute/custom/
FYI this link is not officially associated with Meta - it is an individual person, claiming to be a Meta employee, asking you to send them your resume and contact information. That could be some form of scam.
There is no evidence to support the claim that the sanctions make it more difficult for Russia to import what they need or that the sanctions have slowed down Russian military-industrial complex in any way. In fact, a British military think tank recently showed that Russia's military industrial complex is ahead of what the west is able to muster https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/comme...

It's also completely absurd to think that Russia would have problems importing anything they can't make domestically given that India and China are backing them.
Divide and conquer is the latest tactic of anti-LGBT folks. They realized it’s futile to attack the gays (for now) so they are focused on separating the T from LGBT, because trans issues are currently less understood by the broader public (who remains largely ignorant of the issue beyond culture war flashpoints). I’ve seen a lot of people making claims about gender in this thread, imagining themselves to be in opposition to trans “ideology,” while actually being perfectly aligned with it (such as that gender-non-conformity doesn’t make a person trans).
The whole Taiwan thing is fascinating to me. China says Taiwan is a part of them, Taiwan says no, fair enough.

If California and its inhabitants decided to be its own country and Mexico visited California President Newsom would this be accepted?

The whole thing seems arbitrary and silly to me. I guess that’s politics for you?

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a site reliability engineer to support the Neutron Science Directorate (NScD). NScD operates the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the United States’ highest flux reactor-based neutron source, and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the world’s most intense pulsed accelerator-based neutron source. Together these facilities operate 30 instruments and over 400 Linux servers for neutron scattering research, each year carrying out in excess of 1,000 experiments in the physical, chemical, materials, biological and medical sciences for more than 3,000 visiting scientists.
Yeah, I believe they're actually trying to make the strip green too. It might have a net benefit to the environment if it actually works. It'll definitely reduce the temp in the surrounding area.
I feel you. It's a really tough place to be.

I'm 32 and my wife is 33, we've been together for 12 years. I started having the itch to have kids when I turned 30, but my wife 100% doesn't want them. Choosing between a life without children or leaving the person I've shared my whole adult life with is intolerable.

All I can say is you're not alone and I wish you the best.

If you're not in a place where you can find 15-30 mins to cook for yourself, you indeed have much bigger problems that cooking advice cannot solve. I sincerely wish you fair winds.
I’m slightly surprised the proposed wording contains this exception: “…unless the owner or user of the account took action to apply such a label.”
1) A 250K job is not readily available for everyone, let alone 350K if you're taking into account annual raises for 7 years.

Sure, if you're fortunate/diligent enough, but not everyone can get into FAANG, or have what it takes to master those interview questions (or want to). I also believe the founder of Baremetrics did not have a developer background.

Even if you are able to make that much in your job, the math starts to change dramatically when you have a bootstrapped company, where you can pay yourself half your regular salary for years before you decide to sell the company.

2) Yes, investors walking away from 800K is a good valid point. If we want to talk about true bootstrapped successes, BuzzSumo and Backlinko are better examples.

But yes, the path to a successful bootstrapped SaaS is a narrow one - it's always been a narrow one. But even with a narrow path, it's still larger than the path to a successful funded SaaS. Both have low probabilities of success, but one is more of a moonshot than the other, IMO.
No doubt. But how much time and money could obesity and cognitive decline cost you?

There are plenty of less complicated, one pot meal recipes littering the internet. Have you tried an Instapot or a nice air fryer?
Quick note about the screen glaring - my very first action upon unpacking any Apple notebook is to apply a matte screen protector (the purist may wince). I'd recommend a screen protector on any expensive purchase and the matte one has all but eliminated the glare for me.
People tout the historical accident of the circumstances around Ben's words as if that should somehow blunt the force of his statement in the hands of their detractors, but Ben's statement is equally valid wielded by both sides of the equation. This counterintuitively proves the opposite of what this author claims it does. It reaffirms that Liberty and Security share a spectrum, and the tradeoff of an in-perpetuity Liberty for a one-time bump in Security is not worth making; and furthermore that those who would espouse doing so should not be considered worthy of either in the least.

The Penn's wanted immunity to taxation, at the price of funding this one defense effort. Ben was on the right side of it, stating it was absurd for the legislature to grant that request, or for the Governor to champion it. The Penn's land would benefit from the expenditure anyway, so they should also bear the cost of defense.

Their concession was not even of a fungible nature in terms of political calculus. Once again proving that the Founders understood that Liberties >> mere budgetary concerns, and the role of government in managing any type of budget was to make those expenditures which would tend to prolong the ability of the Jurisdiction to ensure that Liberties could be realized within.

In short, the statement bears the same meaning everyone has been reading into it all along. The rest is just the mental gymnastics required to present it such that "your favored half" of the spectrum is in one way more legitimately entitled to supremacy in wielding the argument than the other side is.
We are big users of terraform. I couldn't imaging running our setup without it or some other tooling like CDK.
Your value is not dictated by you, but by the market. The above poster pointed that out much more eloquently than I, but it is a fact.

I'm not so sure. Even if they don't record themselves, they see "everybody else" is doing it. You get the same thing happening in other forms and other social phenomenon but I'd wager the effect is stronger on TikTok.
Yes and no. Special ops forces could definitely make use of it. The hard part is ensuring the deployment equipment is reliable 99.99% of the time, since bugs on the battlefield get people killed.
> “It shall be unlawful for an operator of an email service to use a filtering algorithm to apply a label to an email sent to an email account from a political campaign unless the owner or user of the account took action to apply such a label.”

I mean this seems incredibly easy to circumvent, right? If Google is going to implement this, I guess they'll need a list of email addresses they aren't allowed to filter. Forward that along to the users and then give them a button for "block everything on this list." In fact integration of this sort of thing could be a nice selling point for using the Gmail app rather than your phone's built-in one.
>but something that feels engineered to please your tongue is usually ultraprocessed.

That describes nearly all modern cultivars of fruits/vegetables.
I didn't know they were trying to be like CDK. Now I have to look this up :)
I (and other) call Bs on classifying something as processed or ultra processed as inherently bad.
Baby formulas, workout premixes, and also home cooking are all forms of processed food.
It’s what you put in it and also at what ratio is what matters most.
If you get processed food that has all the good oils and fiber and proteins like YFood or Soylent that’s actually more healthy than say eating “unprocessed” fried potatoes for example.
I wouldn’t ascribe this quarter’s woes to some grand machinations. Intel’s situation really does seem that bad and they’re years from recovering (if they do)
Those exact numbers are cited in the last paragraph of the article.
It only costs a few thousand to "run for office". Anyone can do it. People already abuse this for advertising and even just memes. https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/udw7ca/w...
Meds didn't do anything useful for me until I'd had the dosage bumped a few times.

Kept sending me back to sleep if anything, first day I was on them I had a 16 hour nap.
because the mental illnesses being promoted today are deemed socially acceptable by the few percent of the Western population with disproportionate amount of power over our mass and social media.
Sorry for the late response. The fear was that the crane would fail and drop the debris back into the core and set off a nuclear explosion.
We do something similar with ElasticSearch. We use EKS (a k8s operator) but give each ES node a full k8s node using pod anti-affinities and taints. That way we can just select a sensible disk and instance size on our node pool and not worry about resource request/limit. It's been working very well so far.

ES handles node restarts or upgrades pretty gracefully though. I'd imagine for databases or "non-clustered" things you'd have to consider GKE's aggresive upgrade schedule. We use CloudSQL for some databases but our larger ones are still on GCE because we get more control of replication, CDC, and can use tools like proxysql to reduce downtime.
Thank you for your reply. I will try this out soon.

I'm already at the point where I'm uncertain if I want to progress on the career ladder. Advancement in my career at this point mostly means striking out on my own more through product-based businesses.
PHP really did have a much better developer experience, put a file where you want your view to be, done. Can't beat it for small things.
if you think React is big, you'll be sad by the 2 MB mandatory runtime you have to download just to run your Blazor WASM code, which can add megabytes on top.

That said, if your application is actually complex enough to warrant this upfront download cost, might make sense.

YMMV as always

EDIT: in case it wasn't obvious, I was talking about Blazor WASM not Blazor server
When you say this:

they simply command the vehicle to do something, and we ensure it gets done. (and our team is comprised of perception, controls, ML, etc engineers)

Do you mean you're offering control and perception engineering as a service?
There is an insane lack of self awareness in this post.

"All guns are loaded." -- The truest sentence I know

It's a metaphorical truth. If you act like it's true, you'll live longer. There are many metaphorical truths in this world. Unfortunately, the instinct here at HN is towards the literal truth, and nit-picking, and observations of this particular type of truth is thus discouraged.

I feel it's a loss for us all.
"It must be possible to [...] contact customer support"

I'll stop you right there. While I feel for the folks affected by this, they're not customers. And there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Broadband access and an email inbox aren't human rights in the US - even if they should be, we're just not there yet. And Google has no business incentive to provide customer support to the freeloaders.

I think it's crappy that there's no recourse too. But like it or not, users assent to this when they sign up. The solution here is education - people need to be told outright that they have significantly reduced chances of recourse when they're using somebody's service for free.

Society seems to have abetted the notion that all citizens will have Gmail accounts, down to the issue of Chromebooks in elementary schools. What exactly are we teaching people by dropping them off inside these gardens to bang on the walls?

It goes further than Google or Gmail. We need processes that make actual sense. "But the government forms I need to fill out are online-only!" First mistake. Whoever signed off on that in government should be fired immediately.

This isn't a Google problem, despite how easy it may seem to blame the faceless boogeyman. It's an education problem, a process problem, and a common-sense problem.
I agree with this too. I witnessed the split too and feel exactly the same.

I’m a Fullstack Software Engineer who brings a passion for solving problems and delivering results through code! I’m constantly learning new things and getting to apply them to interesting problems. My latest work developing Sentinel, an open-source, self-hosted, platform as a service, is a great example of doing just that.

I'm really proud of leading the design of Sentinel's core architecture which provides the flexibility to be deployed in any cloud provider. This involved automating the configuration and provisioning of compute instances with Terraform and Ansible. I also played a significant role in developing Sentinel’s command line interface using the OCLIF framework and TypeScript, as well as designing a RESTful API written in Node.js, and much more!

If I seem like a good fit feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

What you actually implied is trans skepticism, which is a form of transphobia, questioning its legitimacy, implying that a lot of trans kids aren't actually trans, that they're being labeled that because they "play with dolls" - and this shouldn't be the case.

No kid is diagnosed with gender dysphoria for playing with dolls.
This seems like unnecessary nitpicking. What would you say are examples of ultraprocessed food that's not full of salt, sugar and fat?

"...typically include flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, and other cosmetic additives,"

I'm thinking it's probably relates to all the additives in foods today. I would love to see some sort of study comparing these commercially processed foods containing additives to more traditional processing (like my grandparents eating tons of homecanned and home processed foods).
It would help if the exact factors that cause health issues in ultra-processed foods could be identified. "Ultra-processed" is too crude a heuristic. sugar and fat? refined seed oil? calorie density? Food coloring and other toxic ingredients?

The parts about "they changed it but didn't test it and then we're surprised when it didn't work right" made me so mad I couldn't finish reading it.

Arrrrgh.
Non-instant oatmeal takes 5 minutes. Eggs 2 minutes (but fine if you won't eat them). Broiling a steak takes 6 minutes. Broiling a salmon filet takes 15 minutes. A single serving of rice in a saucepan takes about 15 minutes. Steaming or sauteeing vegetables takes about 10 minutes, plus a few more to chop them up at the start (though not the insane time to dice tomatoes or onions). Boiling and mashing potatoes takes about 10 minutes.

These are the basic staples I use personally. Three meals a day, hand-cooked from scratch. Add to that something pre and post workout consisting of whey protein, fresh fruit, and possibly some maltodextrin or blended frozen berries, that don't need to be cooked, and that's my entire diet.

I never had to take a home ec class and my mom did not teach me to cook. The basics are pretty simple. Apply heat until what you're heating is sufficiently palatable or above a safe temperature for meats that is indicated directly on the thermometer. Working from home is pretty key, though, since I don't have to eat super early in the morning, super late at night, or reheat a soggy lunch in the break room microwave. I guess a more powerful stove helps, as it doesn't take me anywhere near 7 minutes to bring a pot to boiling.
