Tell HN: YouTube's payment to Creators is convoluted
A YouTube channel (Charles Peralo) that I follow has money owed, but there seems to be an extremely convoluted process compared to other social medias [0].

Even after reaching out through multiple support channels, Charles was unable to get a resolution to the issue and is unable to get payment.

I've reached out to Charles and he is at a loss as to what to do.

So I thought I'd post it here to try to gain some more visibility on the issue.

He was happy for anyone who could assist to reach out to him: Charles@Peralo.com

I highly doubt condos in the EU would let you replace your door or paint the outside of your unit. Or do things like install a billboard on your deck.

In the UK I’m sure the local concils have their own rules and function similar to an HOA. There is a historic district in my city that is “controlled” by the historic society and city.

Show HN: Build for any cloud with the same code
We have been working on Multy, an open-source[1] tool that enables developers to deploy and switch to any cloud - AWS, Azure and GCP for now.

We realized that, even when using Terraform, writing infrastructure code is very different for each cloud provider. This means changing clouds or deploying the same infrastructure in multiple clouds requires rewriting the same thing multiple times. And even though most core resources have the same functionality, developers need to learn a new provider and all its nuances when choosing a new cloud. This is why we built Multy.

Multy is currently available as a Terraform provider. You can write cloud-agnostic code and then just choose which cloud you want to deploy to. Multy will then call the cloud provider APIs on your behalf. For example, the following Terraform code deploys a virtual network in AWS and can be easily changed to deploy to Azure or GCP:

```
resource "multy_virtual_network" "vn" {

cloud = "aws" // or azure, or gcp

name = "multy_vn"
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
location = "eu_west_1"

}
```

Our goal is to expose any configuration that is common across all clouds, but there’s always specific features that are not available in all of them. For example, if you want a very specific AWS CPU for your Virtual Machine or use a region that is only available in GCP. To enable this, we implemented overrides [2] - a way to configure the underlying infrastructure for cloud-specific purposes. You can also mix other Terraform code that uses the cloud-specific providers with Multy. While this makes you somewhat locked in, having your 80% or 90% of your infrastructure cloud-agnostic is still very powerful.

You can see more complex examples in our documentation - https://docs.multy.dev/examples/.

We’re still in early days and looking for feedback from other developers on our approach. Let us know what you think!

The ending about helicopters got me - I guess I had always assumed that they had some sort of way to get out, but not really put much thought into it.

"Attack helicopters are flying so low that by the time you make the decision to eject and move to take action, you're probably dead anyway, so why add the weight, complexity, vulnerability, cost of an escape system that's almost never likely to be used."

Some of my favorite game developers live pretty much below poverty level and have to resort to patreon to make ends meet.

I really think that at this point developing games is more of a labor of love and it's very hard to pierce right now as an indie dev. It was most likely quite a bit easier 15 years ago when the indie scene was much smaller (but then there were a lot more barriers of entry back then)

I was probably overly snarky. Apologies. I know next to nothing about what hand gestures actual Italians make so I'm willing to admit I'm wrong.

That said, when you say "pinched fingers", it makes me wonder if we're talking about the same gesture. The gesture from TFA labeled "non ne me importa" (English: I don't care) doesn't look like what I think of when I read "pinched fingers". "Pinched fingers" makes me picture the gesture shown on the cover of the book at the top of the article. (This is annoying to try to describe in plain text :) )

The gesture in the article doesn't demonstrate this, but the one I associate with "vaffanculo" (which sounds more like "vafungool" on the Sopranos) is a quick brush off the knuckles on the bottom of the chin outward. From some quick googling it does appear to have a mild offensive "get lost" type of meaning.

I'm actually probably mistakenly confusing it for the non ne me importa gesture, as the one I'm thinking of seems to usually be performed with the thumb out, unlike the one pictured.

Again, apologies for the snark. I'd rather learn something than gain internet dunk points. :)

I don't think there's a single point of origin. Personally, I found my way to it through hacker news ~1 year ago where multiple interesting articles about nix suddenly started making their way to the front page.

As for why people have started adopting Nix/NixOS at an increasing rate, I think a lot of ut boils down to the maturity of nixpkgs. It's very quick to just get going.
>Climate change will likely force a fossil fuel free future. But it probably won’t look much like the society we have today. There certainly won’t be high PSI pressure washers.

It's a hard thing to accept, but I believe it to be true.

What's disturbing is that people can't even begin to imagine this ever being true. They vehemently refuse to accept the possibility that many of our modern comforts will cease to be - just look at the responses here talking about all the tech that will ostensibly save us and make everything okay and allow us to continue living exactly the way we do now, indefinitely. That's not good, because we really ought to be talking about a low-tech future as a serious possibility.

If we take it seriously, there are things we can start doing now to smooth the transition period. That transition period could be complete and utter hell, or it could be smooth and painless.

Humans have been around long before pressure washers and cars and planes, and they'll continue to be around long after these things are gone. If we wean our municipalities, our families, and ourselves from fragile dependencies, then the transition period might not cause serious harm.
I wonder how this fits in with the whole trademark "panic"... [1] but considering they're part of the rust-lang org on GitHub, I'm guessing that issue would have been brought up by now.

It's a very big deal, especially if you're actually implementing commercial Prolog solutions rather than toy code for learning or academic papers. SWI is historically quite slow and SWI's model of explicit threading control and other choices tends to degenerate Prolog code for SWI into quasi-procedural, script-like execution. Also, while not Prolog proper, certain commercial Prolog engines do have much more powerful facilities for constraint logic programming over the reals which make them a preferred choice in eg (legacy) financial optimization models.
What do you define as successful? Purely by financial success or does it include a good work/family life balance with kids etc?
I'm pretty sure this is wrong. The brain adapts to whatever activity you do and, as far as I know, is way more plastic than researchers thought decades ago. If you're doing dumb things all the time you're making yourself dumber over time and when you're performing difficult tasks repeatedly and daily your brain adapts to them to be able to solve them easier. I realized that a long time ago in a completely different area, in martial arts. When you start it's extremely hard to follow complex movements shown by other people. Beginners struggle with this a lot. Over the years it's getting easier and easier and you can often grasp complicated movements after seeing them once. I suppose it's the same in dancing and ballet.

The brain adapts to sports, painting, writing poems, or solving complex math puzzles. It just happens that some of these activities are considered smart and also (partly) measured with traditional IQ tests. You can even train to become better at IQ tests if you desire to acquire a completely useless skill set.
It is also how culture moves on. Nobody counterculture wants to be part of the mainstream 'underground'. The new, interesting stuff will move somewhere else and this area will be a vanilla shadow of what it once was. Especially cringeworthy to me were the pictures of mural-graffiti overlayed with a repeating hashtag.
We did have some political discussion but agreed it wasn't a net positive contribution to the culture we wanted to form. So we experimented with a no-politics rule and it stuck.
Even aside from the apocalypse, I was wondering recently how someone might "pass down" some piece of software, like say a video game, to their descendants. If you want to leave a written record for future generations then it's easy enough to print out a book on some acid-free paper and reasonably expect that it will last for up to a millennium. But for robustly archiving a piece of software it's not enough to print out the complete source code (including dependencies), you also need the complete source of the compiler (including dependencies), and the complete source of the operating system it runs on, and complete schematics for the hardware it runs on, and instructions on how to manufacture the hardware, and possibly more.

In the same way that we have standards for archival-grade books, it seems like we could benefit from some sort of standard archival-grade software stack designed for simplicity (and I mean real simplicity, I agree with the article that even C is too complicated and you want a Forth or something (or maybe a Scheme)). It's okay if the stack is as slow as molasses, as long as you have a functional reference implementation you can always produce a translation into whatever modern stack exists in your time period.
I can’t say that I immediately grasp the connection between narcissism and the attraction-shading effect. Frankly, if I’m following you on social media while you’re traveling to Paris, I want to see photos of you, not of the Eiffel Tower. I follow very few people on social media, and the people I do follow are all people I care about.

They conclude by noting that attractions could lose out on promotional opportunities due to this effect — because people are taking selfies, I suppose? Since when was it the unilateral responsibility of tourists to promote the sites they visit?

When I want to see tourist sites, I watch travel documentaries (or better yet go in person). When I open up social media, it is because I want to learn information about the people I care about via selfies, photos, or text updates.
Go find yourself a better job that pays more and will give you the ability to manage others (maybe harder now than it was last year?).

If you really like the work you are doing at the current company then use that offer to get the promotion. It's not clear though if you want to manage people or if you just want more money.

Always good to heat check your earning potential every 2 years though.

> The problem is that what's employable isn't actually computer science, but trendy industry nonsense...

You may be going a bit hard on the industry. I see where you're coming from, having a long academic past myself and seeing there is a lot of BS in industry. But there is also a lot of meaningful things in industry and academia is sometimes a little too arrogant about that.

Given that you went back to graduate school and are likely a bit frustrated with industry, I can see why you have that stance, but neither extreme is good. Neither is everything in industry just trendy nonsense nor is everything in it the holy grail. There are real problems being solved in industry. That's what produces systems that people actually use, be it mobile phones or server infra or network gear or embedded systems, which after all is the whole point of all this. There is also a lot of trendiness and lots of people who just hack things and don't have a clue. It's not black-and-white. Similar with academia. There is a real benefit to the fundamentals being taught and researched in academia. And there is a lot of nonsense there too, tons of paper produced just to produce papers and get the next grant and stay employed. (If anything, the gatekeeping in academia is way worse than in industry.)

Both worlds have their place and it's sad to see disparaging comments from either side about the other one.
If you expect high inflation, isn’t it a rational action? The nominal debt will be easier to pay with devalued currency received as inflated wages.
No, I think that’s more of the same flawed thinking.

The answer is I don’t know, and further, that trying to predict the outcome of societal change like that is probably a fool’s game. Pre-emptive, discriminatory rules seem like the absolute worst way to start out. Well, perhaps second worst compared to an outright ban on the technology, which is unfortunately where I think we’ll probably go first due to societal fear of change. Which is ironic given how much you and the OP think it would cause stagnation…

You've started by assuming the same as the OP, that having older people will necessarily cause societal stasis. But you're basing that both on a preconception of what you think older people are like now (personally I dispute this, and I'm not that old), and on a supposition that whatever longevity treatment we come up with won't change that. How do we know? How do we know that a particular treatment to, say, keep people younger for longer, wouldn't result in more youthful and dynamic society?

We don't know. And any supposition is based on flawed ideas.
Unfortunately the iso standard for prolog is kind of inadequate. It doesn't include a module system for instance. It also doesn't define the attributed variable interface which is fundamental to constraint logic programming.

Replace "capitalism" with "managerial society" (not at all limited to the private sector and far from universal even within it - in fact, credentialism is far more important in the modern bureaucratic, administrative state) and you're pretty much 100% correct.
UX (User Experience) is more about the process a user goes through. UI is more about the visual or physical elements a user interacts with.

For example, imagine you're designing about an online account creation flow.

The UX design would be deciding to identify people using email address, and then giving them the option of setting a password or logging in with a magic link to an email address[1].

UI would be about how you present that on screen. What is the layout? How do you make the two different choices clear, how do you indicate an invalid email address etc.

[1] Obviously there are other considerations here than UX such as security, but we're just talking about UX
> A person’s main task shouldn’t be computing, but to be human.

Ok that's fine. I'm not sure what part of my statement required computing vs being human. Installing an OS isn't some herculean effort, and if you're fine with Linux then I'm sure you would agree with that statement. And if you bought a laptop, "decrapifying" it is a one day thing. It's not a continous fight that you're having everyday.

> I use Windows to launch and run a single game, and it can’t even do that without pissing me off.

Why? If it's just because you don't like windows, that's fine, but I think it reads a lot better if you say that instead of masquerading your opinion as some objective fact that applies to everyone:

> A good operating system: Mac OS. Windows has become so user-hostile that I refuse to get near it. Linux breaks the rule above: a person's primary task should not be computing, but being human.

This gives me no information on what constitutes a good OS. You talk about how we shouldn't be computing but being human, and give a bunch of great examples, but none of them are OS specific:

Notifications, email, calendar, apps, social media, news and feeds, reddit, websites, and behavior.

None of these are OS specific induced noise, with the exception of notifications. And in the case of notifications I feel like a Mac requires more effort to turn them off.

Anyways, I agree with the overall premise, but I think it would have been a much better read if you had said something like: "A good operating system: Whichever OS makes you work the most productively, for me that's Mac OS."

Linux doesn't necessarily make people feel like they're computing and not being human, and Windows can be less user hostile depending on the person. Anyways, good article, I was just curious if there might have been specific instances that caused these feelings. I'm buying my first MacBook in over 10 years in November and I'm interested to see if my opinion changes :)
I look back, and I realize I wasted a lot of time on brute force, instead of just reading the docs, in many cases.

I love prepping, up to a point.

If we all would like to live in a world without war, the only path I see is if people learn to be strong as individuals, able to self govern, grow emotionally and take responsibility for their own actions. As long as we use collective thinking and externalization our power in organizations, believe in superstitions like money, government, “the greater good”, rather than recognizing what’s undeniably real, that we are all people, I don’t see a way forward.

If this resonates with anyone, hit me up!
I left school at 15, never to return to education, in part because of how maths was taught.

There was never an explanation of the _why_ of things. It was very frustrating, and the teaching was very poor.

I ended up a programmer, in part, because I figured if teachers weren't teaching, i'd teach myself. This has been a good strategy for me, however there's serious holes in my pure maths knowledge.
> How do you explain the difference in rates if it's just choice?

Broken cultures and bad values. If it were really about money then violent crime that has nothing to do with money wouldn’t be higher as well.

Single motherhood is the leading cause and it’s endemic in poor communities. This value is not only tolerated but celebrated somehow by affluent liberals. It’s astonishing.

America is so incredibly boundless with opportunity that people wait years to move their lives here and others risk their life to come here illegally so they can take advantage of the opportunities and send money back home. Many of these people come from places that are actually poor (America doesn’t really have poverty compared to other places) and could probably be justified in stealing bread. But they don’t.

If that’s not clear evidence it’s a choice then I don’t know what is.
They are very conservative with their lending. They do lend, but not much (relatively speaking), and in any case I'm not sure lending alone will satisfy their investor's expectations.

To fire a howitzer you need to calculate the angle at which you need to fire and amount of propellant. It seems like an incredibly hard thing to do on a ship and with the enemy maneuvering. It's likely you could only guess and hope for the best.

Usually howitzers fire, observe where the shell lands and then adapt. Here this couldn't work as ships changed positions.

In other words, you are right. Having something that you can point and shoot is easier to do. This might not be true if they could aim their howitzer low but then you get the fact that howitzer cannot be steadied (it will roll with the ship) while a human holding a bazooka can do some stabilization and fire at an exact moment the target is in crosshairs.
The issue is it was never designed - just trail and error that nature got something that works but is kind of fragile but good enough that it works for the majority of use cases.
