That's very true, but in the end fiscal policy is how the government regulates corporate profits (taxation) and inflation (spending/social security/subsidies). Before the supply chain issues, inflation was on no one's mind and the primary concern was a recession caused by the virus. So, governments pumped unseen amounts of money into the economies to keep them chugging, this after they'd not pulled back from the stimulus that was put into effect after the 2008 recession.
You're absolutely right - everyone has offloaded the 'identity verification problem' to your email provider. Because doing it well is an intrinsically hard/expensive problem.

Replace 'government should provide a digital identity service' with 'government should provide an email service', and we're back at the same place. You still needs a way to prove that you are you - with legal protection and recourse.

This letter points out the increasingly obvious - that our online identities have become too important to be left to the customer support whims of one or two corporations. The idea that an innocent algorithmic mistake in a microservice running somewhere deep in Google's cloud could lock me out of my life is not the future we want.
You can persist data in the key-value data store, as durable objects or in the R2 buckets (S3 like storage). So that is not a problem. There are other issues with CF workers though.
It scores better know, but previously if you even ran Google's own pages about Lighthouse through Lighthouse itself it would score terribly. I don't know if that ever helped my feelings towards the tool or made it worse.
To clarify, what I meant was playing to a minority "and alienating the majority".

My impression is that pride month is kinda indifferent to the majority. It ain't my thing personally but I don't have any strong feelings against it. It doesn't hurt me in any way. Live and let live. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you --- etc, etc, yadda, yadda.

Surely you recognise this is totally a false dichotomy?
True, the concepts transfer. But for me the concepts are always easy. The implementation/syntax/libraries are harder for me. I know at least I can go back and use prior projects as a guide... if I ever return to that tech. That's probably a big one for me, that I feel like the work ends up being thrown away if i never use it again. Although things like Android development has changed significantly with things like apk to aab, Java in Eclipse to Kotlin in Studio (Jet Brains), etc.
> a.) there are not enough skilled workers that know how to deploy these. in fact it was just published in the news that due to boomers going in pension the workforce in this area already reduced over 10% in the last years and projected to sink even more.

If this were the national emergency that everyone claims it is, this problem could be fixed in weeks, if not months, by the government training people in the basics of getting heat pumps installed. It's not brain surgery, it doesn't need a decade of schooling.

> b.) most houses that are using Gas heating are not isolated well enough to make a switch to heat pumps financially viable.

That same argument could be used to say that most houses are not insulated well enough to make gas heating financially viable.

I think you hit on some very important points, but there's a couple issues. For one, not every singular duty can clearly defined. That's why many job descriptions will have a clause like "and other duties as assigned." Ultimately, we're hiring teammates in order to solve problems. I want to work with people who try to solve those problems irrespective if it adds to their personal identity or was meticulously defined in their job posting. If people are actively seeking out and solving problems, that's not the same as the transactional mindset I'm talking about. That mindset tends to actively avoid problems because they are work or "not their job". That's also not the same as framing the issue of "if you work X more, you'll get paid Y more".

That time-transaction mindset leads to exactly what you alluded to. "If I spend 13% more time here, I should get 13% more pay." What that doesn't say is if those 13% more hours were spend solving previously unsolved issues for the organization.

Make it fast and make it small are not the same thing. The JS ecosystem has a huge culture of thousands of dependencies. “I don’t want to maintain the string trim function so I will import a library just for that” is routine. This is combined with hyperspecialized libraries with odd/unique names which makes discoverability tricky.

An empty VueJS app starts at several MBs of dependencies. That’s before you write any actual code. This is an example of bloat because “I don’t want the responsibility”.

The solution to this is to have more batteries included libraries or frameworks.

I learned this when I dated a law student while in college. They teach an entire class to the first year students dedicated to presenting the facts of the case, the way lawyers do in their opening statements. They actually had to create the set of facts for each side. It was really interesting how you could totally bias it by what you emphasized or left out and the different words used (i.e. word connotations).

A megawatt is basically nothing. Average load for electricity in the US is 500 GW. How much did that megawatt electrolyzed cost? Does it also include the cost of converting that hydrogen back into electricity? And remember this cost is on top of the cost of generating the stored energy in the first place.

The amount of entitlement HNers have is mind-boggling.

Here's economics 101.

Users pay with attention/money for a list of goods/services from the provider.
If you don't like it, switch your provider. Unlike some physical monopolies, you aren't bound to any provider.

If you think there is a market for your utopian content provider, how about you start your own company (with your fellow entitled HNers and provide all these features)?
Same story for us. We’ve been moving towards k8s and it’s been great for app devs. We ran in plain VMs for a decade and it was a good time to switch at 2k employees, maybe 500 devs?
The implication is that it's somehow better to be "self reliant" but that is also basically impossible.
Which is still, to be fair, probably the fastest conceivable solution. And I am far from convinced about nuclear.

They are both things that people realize about themselves and things that they are diagnosed with by others. E.g. in order to receive hormones, one must be diagnosed as having gender dysphoria by a professional.
I know that. Sorry I wasn't more clear. But even in that case, I do see it the way I described (though I do realize not everyone has this mindset).
Yeah, ditto for glasses that change/remove colors ... after I few days your perception adapts and you see colors normally again.

It all proves how we don't directly see what's coming thru our eyes - we see the mental model that our brain maintains about the outside word, built/updated via what's coming in thru our eyes.
No, I'm saying those situations aren't comparable. We should not conclude librarians will be poor stewards of MFA reset powers just because they are lax in giving out library cards.
I don't find the explanation here to be clear. This suffers from the classic issue where they explain the basics and then proceed to give practically no details on how to start applying the knowledge.

For anyone wanting to learn this more in detail I highly recommend the book "Understanding Exposure" by: Bryan Peterson.

My personal approach to taking handheld photos in manual mode using natural light is as follows:

1. Look at the scene and determine what the most important factor is. For example:
* Do I need to freeze motion? Then I need to set a short shutter speed.
* Is the image being taken in low light? Then I probably want to open the aperture and set my shutter speed as long as is suitable for what I can hold.
* Do I need a large depth of field or to maximize sharpness? Then I need to set the aperture to a suitable value to achieve that.

2. After I consider the most important factor and set either shutter speed or aperture to a starting value, set the second most important factor using the same thought process.

3. Adjust the ISO so the image is exposed properly. Knowing your camera, is the ISO going to result in an acceptable image? If not, then go back to the first step and adjust your shutter speed and aperture to bring the ISO down to an acceptable value.

4. Take the photo and review.

Of course, this doesn't apply to every scenario but it generally is a good approach for the types of photos where the exposure settings are critical. If I'm shooting a landscape outdoors, then I'm probably starting off by setting ISO to 100 first and then the aperture to the sharpest value for the particular lens I'm using as I'm sure that the shutter speed will be acceptable regardless of what it ends up having to be or will be what drives me to use a smaller aperture.
you are right about point b.) but only at the current gas prices, it was totally fine with cheap russian gas.
It looks like someone didn't program the algorithm to differentiate between museum ships and non-museum ships.

>company that explicitly competes with

According to some crypto promoters I've seen on Twitter, blockchain is apparently the solution to everything and will revolutionize every industry. By their definition, you'd be hard up to find a company that isn't competing with them.

In actuality, the word "blockchain" usually refers to a specific type of distributed database based around a consensus layer on top of a merkle tree. Its usage competes (poorly) with other commercial distributed databases, not with Ethereum. And these "commercial blockchains" still failed to find a single effective use. All of them I've seen are just worse versions of other databases, and are either forks of some open source code, or are directly inspired by Bitcoin or Ethereum or another similar project.

>has a vested interest in the failure of open source crypto projects like Ethereum.

I also have a vested interest in the failure of projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and it's not because I'm invested in a competitor. It's because I don't like fraud and ponzi-style scams. And all crypto tokens are a variant of the same scam, because they inherently don't have any real value. All of them depend on the miners/validators pumping up the value so they can sell the block rewards and realize their profits. These tokens are all completely useless and valueless without a steady influx of new "investors" artificially inflating the price. Inherently they're just not like a stock, but the false idea of "crypto investing" is suggesting that they are.

You don't have to be invested in another product, to dislike scams and want them to go away.

>You're perfectly allowed to criticize your competitors

This author is far from being the only one to criticize blockchains. Lots of others shared the same conclusions: https://concerned.tech/

We are using Gazebo for working on controls (getting Caladan ready to launch also led to a number of big improvements in controls) but not for ML training.

The point of Caladan is more for you to be able to build specific autonomy functionality without needing a vehicle, or a large plot of land, or a team to build a basic autonomy stack that works.
Off the top of my head:

- Overriding the fetch/XHR API for error monitoring (there's no other way to listen for them unless you use Service Workers)

- Polyfilling features on top of existing APIs

But you might not see them as "justified".
Clean Code includes this near the start:

> Consider this book a description of the Object Mentor School of Clean Code. The techniques and teachings within are the way that we practice our art. We are willing to claim that if you follow these teachings, you will enjoy the benefits that we have enjoyed, and you will learn to write code that is clean and professional. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that we are somehow “right” in any absolute sense. There are other schools and other masters that have just as much claim to professionalism as we. It would behoove you to learn from them as well.

> Indeed, many of the recommendations in this book are controversial. You will probably not agree with all of them. You might violently disagree with some of them. That’s fine. We can’t claim final authority. On the other hand, the recommendations in this book are things that we have thought long and hard about. We have learned them through decades of experience and repeated trial and error. So whether you agree or disagree, it would be a shame if you did not see, and respect, our point of view.

Dogmatic texts generally don't tell you to go find other places to learn from.
It's not really so much about the pixels being square as the fractal-ish nature of mordern pixel camos that result in a "scale invariance" effect. There's details and contrast at the level of the small pixels, and there's details and contrasts are medium levels, and then again at large levels. Previous US army camo mostly had detail at only one scale level.

As jcranmer says, there's more details on the reasons it works somewhere down in this page, https://www.hyperstealth.com/US4CES-ALPHA/index.html
I've always been interested in photography but really got into the weeds over the pandemic. Learning the exposure triangle (how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are related/not related) has completely transformed how I think about cameras and taking photos. There is definitely some inherent mathematical/practical beauty in the meaning and relationships between these different camera settings.

I wouldn't want this comment to be interpreted as "shooting in manual is superior", in fact I would suggest against it in almost all cases - the deeper understanding will help you use nearly any camera in existence.

This is exactly what has been happening frequently in our company's Slack channels.

Highly paid Bay Area developer moves to elsewhere in the US and complains that they got a pay cut.

Developer in low cost US city agrees and says they should be paid Bay Area salaries as well.

Canadian developer points out that they get paid lower than anyone in the US despite having very high costs of living.

Someone else says think of how much the developers in India are getting paid for doing the exact same work.

Developers in India go - we are very happy with our salaries, leave us out of this please.
But how can we know if the part that matters is real or not? How many billions of dollars due to registry-specific errors that wouldn't have happened if the app simply used a text file? That's a quantity we can't so easily come up with.
Is net-zero even technically feasible on any reasonable time-scale we operate? And I mean actual net-zero that is permanently not emitting more CO2.
But surely these are just commercialized versions of forums, the latter being a far more versatile medium to have discussions on? Reddit has monopolized the entire forum industry and ruined online communities.
Actually one simple act would bring US tech to its knees. Just changing terms of incorporation retroactively so that a percentage of individual share holders must vote in board elections not by proxy.

What we are seeing is a symptom of the system of corporation government that is unbalanced by design wrought in hell.
