Thank you for that feedback! Incredibly helpful to know :) I was hoping that capping out the pricing page slider at $1.5k/mo before recommending people to talk to us about enterprise would help with this a bit.

Absolutely when we're working with larger teams, we're frequently putting together a custom plan with tailored feature and a custom quote that takes into consideration their volume (both current and projected), term lengths and other misc things. Unfortunately this makes it really hard to describe pricing expectations at scale on a pricing page.

If you think we can help your team, I definitely think we can put something workable together at that volume - feel free to hit me up at mike [at] deploysentinel.com and let's chat. (Or I can shoot you a message to the email in your gh profile)
But the ones in the article did search :)
I realise I'm responding to this far too late for anyone to actually take notice, but I'm gonna do it anyway because there is a major criticism I have of the article: that all news is bad.

I think the issue here is not the problem with news in itself but rather the consumption of news. I think what is problematic is that people are consuming news like they would consume posts on a social media platform in that they're endlessly scrolling few news stories, and keep checking the app to make sure they're on top of everything that is happening. And I completely understand how problematic this is. However, that is not to say that news itself is bad.

There are several reasons that lead me to come to this conclusion. While I'm sure not everything in the news might not be directly relevant to you, I think it helps you make better life choices when you know the state of the economy, and issues others are facing. But, I think, most importantly: it is democratically empowering to be aware of the news. Let's take the UK system of government as an example. Some things are obvious: we vote for our representatives (MPs) every 5 years at the most, and this is one opportunity to influence government but its not the only one. We can: write letters to our MPs; create, and sign petitions; join pressure groups; protest; take industrial action etc. But we can only do this effectively when we have a good awareness of current affairs. Additionally, in the UK we also vote for our local government as well. This can include councillors, and (if your area voted for it) directly elected mayors. I hear many people complain about what their local council are doing, but a lot of these people don't even vote for any councillors. I once went for a coffee, and told the person at the till that I was volunteering at the council election. His response? "I didn't even know there was an election on today." Many of us are fortunate to live in countries with the right to vote amongst other civil liberties. We ought to use them effectively in order to improve living standards for us all.

On the topic of how we consume news, if we feel it is unhealthy to scroll through a constantly updated app, we can turn to bulletins instead. In the UK, the BBC produce half-hour bulletins on weekdays at 1, 6, and 10 o'clock (shorter bulletins also exist at similar times on the weekend). You could watch, say, the 6 o'clock news in the evening, and then be done with news for the day. You could also read a newspaper. This doesn't have to be in print as some newspaper websites are either not updated frequently (e.g. The London Times/Sunday Times which is only updated for major breaking news, or in the evening to give articles for tomorrow's paper), or provide a webpage that just shows you what was printed in that day's edition of the print newspaper (e.g. The Guardian/Observer).
What is physics, if not a transition between states? Whether the merchanism that predicts those transitions is machine- or human-interpretable is orthogonal.
A VC fund will only get money if the risk-adjusted rate of return is greater than the rate of interest; otherwise backers of the VC fund invest their money elsewhere.

This means that VC have to become more selective with respect to the startups that they invest in, as I described.
what are those niche interests?
Ask HN: Setting up a tablet for a baby/kids?
Lockdowns, working at home and not enough new quality Netflix content all let to me trying out this fatherhood thing everyone is raving about :) with a beautiful 1-year old boy yay!

We’re just about to take him on his first big adventure and travel for a few months – and wanted to take an old iPad Mini and set it up for him to bring along. He’s still very young so currently this is mostly a preemptive measure to combat occasional tantrums/boredom in the car (just to have Youtube or a few of his favorite videos with us) but as he gets older I’m sure there are plenty of interesting apps that help with cognitive development (even if they’re just interactive stories that we can work through together) – but I’m not an expert in this (yet) so I’d be thankful for any recommendations!

* any special setup you’d recommend for young kids/babies like this? like an OS version/mod? (using an iPad Mini so a bit more difficult)

* what apps/games/stories would you recommend? very open to different categories of usefulness here – educational/cognitive games, interactive stories, better video players, general interesting stuff (ideally mostly things that are offline first)

I realize screens and babies are sometimes a sensitive topic for some – and of course this will be enjoyed in small doses (we’re going on a multi-month vacation to spend time as a family after all) – but I’m also very open towards technology as I believe most people on HN are. I grew up with C62/Atari and all that stuff and I turned out (mostly) ok :) My son is still tiny but it’s amazing to watch him make connections between remotes and TV channels, using Alexa to control things or keyboards to make stuff happen on screens or smartphones. So I want to see how far these aha-moments will take him.
..and can it be mass produced at a reasonable cost. Scaling up a lab build product to an industrial scaled production line is a skilled profession. Not all products can make this transition.
Aggressively avoiding lock-in is something I've never quite understood. Unless your provider of choice is also your competitor (like Spotify with Amazon) it shouldn't really be a problem. I'm not saying I'm a die hard cloud fan in all aspects but if you're going with it you may as well use it. Typically trying to avoid vendor lockin really ends up more expensive in the long run, you start avoiding the cheaper services (lambda for background job processing) for what may never really be a problem.

The one place I can see avoiding vendor lock-in as really useful is it often makes running things locally much easier. You're kind of screwed if you want to properly run something locally that uses SQS, DynamoDB, and Lambda. But that said, I think this is often better thought of as "keep my system simple" rather than "avoid vendor lock-in" as it focuses on the valuable side rather than the theoretical side.
PHP5 to 8 is night and day in terms of performance just on its own, they're not really comparable.

We’re you aware at the time that you were acting out a scene from the movie Fargo ?
There are not many people around anymore who have witnessed it and can tell the difference.

And it's a good example of my point. Once thing that's for sure is that the relative importance of "western allies" vs. USSR in their role of ending WW2 does not match reality, or what you'd have perceived on the ground. USSR had over 10 million dead soldiers (and the same in addition in civilian deaths). That's about a factor of 1 compared to the western allies in the European theatre. The eastern front was huge, bloody, deadly, and USSRs role in fighting back and steamrolling over German troops into Berlin was crucial in ending all that. The popular narrative nowadays is that the US ended the war, most movies and war documentaries are about the western front, etc.

Of course Stalin was a dictator and what happened during the cold war on the eastern side of the iron curtain and what's happening now in and from Russia is terrible and unacceptable. But without having witnessed events as they unfolded, it's much easier to be buy into today's narrative of the situation back then, which is heavily skewed.
The climate is very complex, yes, that's right. Its complexity has no bearing on whether or not climate change is real or whether or not we can do anything about it. OP's central thesis, that because the Earth's climate has apparently changed slowly in the past (before an industrialised species existed on the planet), that we cannot possibly change it quickly now, really makes no sense at all.

And the OP's comically haughty attitude of "climate change deniers and believers are literally just as stupid as each other" is simply pathetic.

Also, points to you for bringing US monetary policy into a conversation on climate change... somehow.
In high school before I had even heard the song on the radio, we went on a field trip to local pharmaceutical lab. One of the chemists there had printed out copies of the lyrics for us from an email that had it mislabeled as being from Kurt Vonnegut.

That was during the era where people of a certain age, even a scientist in a chemistry lab, would believe anything sent to them in an email.
The problem with political change is that then it becomes highly polarised political topic

Indeed, and the best way to avoid that is to ignore the people using pushing their polarising simplistic us-vs-them rhetoric into the discussion.
Yes, I have.

Climate is political. The technology exists, but needs subsidies to hit the manufacturing volume that would make them price competitive. Government is the main driver of this. The main driver of the US government is special interest groups.

So if you want to maximize your impact, work for a special interest group with a focus on climate, energy and environment. There are 2 main categories you can work in, “the business,” and “the program”.

The business is the operational and fundraising arm of the org. It takes the mission, bottles it up and sells it to people who want a bit of hopium. There are normal tech roles here like IT, Web, apps, and customer databases. Pay is low, but you are contributing by keeping the lights on and the paychecks flowing to the people changing the world.

The program is whatever specific mission vertical the org works on. This will involve a lot of lobbyists, policy wonks and lawyers. Because, again, it makes no sense to spend your own orgs money when you can get a 100-1 lever by convincing the govt to do it for you. That climate bill is 370 billion and orgs that have an annual revenue of 10 million wrote the policy. There can be tech jobs around constituent management databases like VAN. Could see some technical jobs packaging up scientific data into easy to demo visuals for the lawmaker staff to consume. Rarely there could be some PHD spots for original research.

I worked in the field for about 10 years. If you want to know anything, just ask.
Yea it has only happened in London, which does seem to have its own more temperate climate. I never saw one once in NI about 500 miles north or in West of England

There is even a common one found in the underground system

I'm a software engineer with 20+ years of industry experience, have been programming for 25 and working independently for the past 15.

I am mostly focused on the backend (though I have done my share of front-end/web work and it's not a problem for me), with a specialization on fintech / capital markets / derivatives technology and distributed systems.

I have worked for some of the top investment banks and trading systems vendors in Europe and Asia, handling duties ranging from architecture, design, project management, to delivery and ops.

Lately I have been successfully working with start-ups in the US (references available on request) and am interested in expanding my collaboration with this type of client globally.

I offer impartial, state-of-the-art software / solution architecture / audit services for your existing or planned systems, and can be as hands-on as you need me to be.
I have a no-nonsense, less-is-more approach, have enough battle scars not to chase hypes or over-engineer, and am interested in building systems that run like clockwork long after I'm gone.

My working style is decidedly collaborative and friendly, but you can count on me to take the lead, stay on topic, present the trade-offs in clear language when a call needs to be made, and deliver on time and on budget.

Do you have an ongoing or planned project that you could use assistance with?

Then please do get in touch today for a free initial consultation call.
The prolific use of internal combustion engines is a large part of why our planet is warming which is causing the impending collapse of food chains and societies across the world.

I don't accept the premise that advertisements and product recommendations are even comparable to either themselves, or the internal combustion engine, nor that what Google produces is even comparable to traditional advertisements.

I only accept begrudgingly what bad actors like Google do with technology, and only because I don't really have any other choice, do I?
Amazing, really. You are facing a massive - nearly unpredictable problem - changing the climate. Faced with a problem of such magnitude, you decide the best solution is... A second, massive and even more unpredictable problem. Achieving widespread, totalizing political and economic change that not only has to succeed, has to be better than the system we have now also has to solve the first problem.

To say this is difficult is an understatement. I'd argue it's also impossible and the result would be widespread suffering and a failure to solve climate change due to the distraction. Luckily you're not going to succeed, because like I said, it's really difficult.

I'm familiar with the line of reasoning. It's common among particularly left wing people and comes directly from their thinkers and philosophers. I think it was Gramsci who first said that the 'good' society 'cannot even be imagined' under the current system. This is a cop out for all those who believe they could make the utopia, they don't know how but they're sure the first step is total political change, and step 2 will make itself known then. It shouldn't have to be explained why this is a stupid idea, and how dangerous and harmful it would be.
If anyone is interested I updated my example Django Docker app to 4.1 at: https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example

It includes running Django, Celery, gunicorn, Postgres, Redis, esbuild and Tailwind through Docker and Docker Compose. It's set up for development and production.
check yourself first if youre paid enough to deal with it. money solves a lot of problems including those ones.
Thanks for commenting @gh0strat.

Right now we are currently accounting for both markup and mandatory add-ons as a total in the same numerical value. If it's 0 markup but $2995 for N2 filled tires then the total markup is $2995.

We are finding the opposite to be true. Most of our posters are folks that have actually spent at least a little time dealing with a dealership and are reporting the numbers back to us. Our hope is that as we get more postings the false or innacurate postings will be drowned out by the accurate quality ones.
nothing beats pay. Pay 20% more than your competitor.
You mean OPEC? or OPEC+? Doesn't seem like they would care much about BP's opinion.
Nope, the goal must be net negative... If you dont want to end up with at least 4-8 degrees more
This was the answer I was hoping to see with regards to OP's current troubles. Thank you.
PHP in 2022 is statically typed, if you want it to be. The only thing afaik it's currently missing is generics.
That's not an answer to my question.

I meant, how sustainable is it to keep depending on foreign aid? Obviously dirty surface water that does not suffice for the whole population is not sustainable. But in the long run, creating new dependencies on aid can't be the solution. Any long-term plan that involves foreign aid is a bad plan.

Oof. GitLab is really the only contender to GitHub. Both gitea and sr.ht don’t have search features. So we are really starting from square one here
YC has been irrelevant since they started admitting more than a handful of companies. It has almost become a rite of passage on to the fundraising circuit. It’s unclear what their admission philosophy is (e.g. p% of all applications?—I doubt). Or perhaps some fear of missing out dominates their thinking now? It would be interesting to know. Hopefully the current economic situation forces them to reconsider and perhaps return to admitting and cultivating an extremely small number of applications.
That’s the gist of capitalism and why we have boom and bust cycles (in the short and long).

There is a community at https://workonclimate.org/ focused on helping people find jobs related to climate. You can also look at https://climatevoice.org/, and look at how your employer is lobbying on climate. You can also look at climate bills/policy related to corporate disclosure at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.... and https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-10-22/s71022.htm to see which corporations are lobbying for or against strong climate policy, and try to work for those companies most supportive of strong climate policy.
mac if you have money. ubuntu if you are broke.

no, you cannot escape google, bing, and yandex. is duckduckgo even truly secure? what if it's just psyop honeypot by international 3 letter agencies?

kiding aside, yes i recommend ubuntu and duckduckgo.
I can't believe I didn't know this, I thought yoy had to have masters before phd.
Computational fields are not software engineering. In order to be productive, you need expertise in the field you are studying, as well as in at least two of CS, software engineering, statistics, and mathematics. Undergraduate degrees are too short to teach all that, which is why people must continue learning basic skills during PhD (and postdoc).

Your forgetting that the complexity of calculation increases exponentially.
Let's say the entire world economy is only 1000x the size of Amazon.
The actual problem is not 1000xAmazon but Amazon^1000.
Comparing one year to the next is not a trend. As for:

"US dominates the loss figures"

It's not clear if that's due to more storms or because we build larger homes, fill them with more stuff, own more cars, and/or are more likely to build in areas prone to flood.

I'm not questioning climate change. I am questioning the integrity of this (data?) analysis.
I'm not old or a lawyer but pickleball is kind of annoying. It doesn't mean I also like leaf blowers. Those should be banned. Not sure about pickleball though - I'm with you on the benefits.
Absolutely agreed, except for one part: I don't think net zero will be enough. It might have been enough if we were at net zero thirty years ago. But now, in addition to net zero (which would be an impressive feat to achieve, society-wide), we need to work on absorbing carbon from the atmosphere, before the ocean does it for us.

Things may change when(if) our machines get smarter than us.

Currently we're constantly expanding the complexity of our systems, but since they don't understand their underlying purpose, they can't help us manage that complexity without drastically limiting their flexibility, there's no working around that.

But if they knew what they were doing, instead of "I need to reorganise this database stack to reduce overhead" we'll be giving simple commands like "please stop taking over the world" and letting the machines handle the complex details.
Hi we are running selenium tests in our CI/CD pipeline.

We do actually generate a video of the tests running as an example see here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/actions/runs/2787628672

We're not using cypress we use webdriver connected to a selenium docker instance.

Is that something you can connect to?
Might be unpopular but still good to stick to it. I tend to associate excessive enthusiasm for pythons async await framework as a sign of immaturity and potential for doing things without understanding them fully. I’d never trust async code from anyone except the best python engineers. Most of them out there can’t even debug linear code, adding async to the mix only makes it worse. At least you can trust the time stamps.
I don't understand like half of these words. Ecomodernist I new to me, decoupling rates, some paradox, rebound effect... is this a riddle? What here needed prefixing with an anti-downvote spell, the claim that we need systematic change to fix systematic problems?
The images are very cool, but... uhh, why turn them into a video? You know there are ways to share images on the internet?

Delete all your search and watch history, and perhaps all your comments and likes. After a hard refresh, you should see the algorithm suggest something new again. Also, whenever you see a bot/spam channel or a channel with robotic voice, click don't recommend channel again.
Hetzner never banned me but they demanded a lot of info at sign-up like a photo of my ID which contains sensitive info like my social security number. Can be used for identity theft.

I blanked that out and they didn't accept it until I showed them the national police website where they showed how to do this and recommended to always do that.

I only used them for a while, eventually I mixed to scaleway which was cheaper and doesn't need any invasive info. I've been a happy customer there for years. I even run an IRC bouncer there without any issues, which many such providers specifically forbid (eg OVH)
> We need more frameworks that scale from a single box to many boxes, without starting over from scratch.

I'm not sure I really understand what you're saying here. I suppose most applications are some kind of CRUD app these days, not all sure, but an awful lot. If we take that as an example, how is it difficult to go from one box to multiple?

It's not something you get for free, you need to put in time to provision any new infra (be it baremetal or some kind of cloud instance) but the act of scaling out is pretty straight forward.

Perhaps you're talking about stateful applications?
