In buddhism at least, developing compassion is seen from a skill-building perspective as far as I know. Most human capabilities have to be amplified through deliberate study from our ancestry, accumulated wisdom and constant practice.

The key idea is that we can "develop" various attributes to a degree which is orders of magnitude larger than the next animal. To me, doing that is meaningful.
For people in Europe this "recession" is likely to get pretty bad.

In the UK I worry things could get extremely ugly this winter. Obviously the price of everything has been going up, but from October when our energy cap will increase which will mean the average household is now going to be spending about £3,000 extra on energy bills over the next year. On top of this because of how most homeowners in the UK have short-term fixed mortgage deals (2-5 years) a lot of people are going to be switching to a new deal over the next year which because of higher rates will leave them paying an extra £1,000 - £2,000 or so per year on their mortgage. Couple this with higher prices at the pump and higher food prices and I suspect a lot of lower-income families will forced into fuel poverty or may even lose their homes if they can't find an extra few grand to keep up with payments.

It seems the US is relatively well positioned in comparison and may even be able to avoid a recession entirely, but either way right now this is nothing like 2008 yet. From a consumers perspective the worse thing about 2008 was probably the labour market. It was just really hard to find work back then and a lot of people were losing their jobs. This was especially true for people working in the banking sector or any sector with exposure to the housing market. Today the labour market is red hot. Things might be more expensive, but so far the consumer has been fairly well positioned to weather those increased costs. Of course, this could change, and I think it's likely to in places like the UK, but the US is unlikely to experience anything like the 2008 recession unless the labour market rapidly cools which it doesn't seem to be.

I wouldn't hand-curate the tags, but parsing a well-commented HN discussion, or the fine article under discussion, might lead to hints. For instance, given a Title term "Matrix", one might parse for "movie", "mathematics", "transformation", "neo", "algebra", "agent smith" and discover to which tag "matrix-movie" or "matrix-math" the discussion should be assigned.

Adding a UI that presents the tags in the Algolia search might be the difficult-to-get-right part.
Pretty much, it's not about grinding out assembly line CRUD work but vision. Domas is another good example if you ever watch his Black Hat presentations on x86 backdoors he's able to approach topics that are not just technically challenging but in a manner that simply would not be attainable for many.

The irony is most companies doing routine CRUD/simple business apps probably shouldn't hire such people as it's a waste and likely causes bad outcomes and perpetuates the stereotype.
OpenAI with violence means that you cannot generate weapons (even knives), StabilityAI with violence means anti-Semitism, misogyny, etc. No one will mute you in generating nudes if it was not your intention, this means that the model is able to do this while the OpenAI model cannot. And anyway we are only talking about the limitation on the Discord server, when the model is free and open source you will be able to generate whatever you want.

So true. Developers work for free on stuff that scratches their itches, so we have a wealth of free text editors and shells. On the other hand, you have to pay for a decent word processor, because the people who can write one don’t use one enough to be driven to work on it.

Show HN: YepCode Recipes. Connect Services and APIs with a Zapier for Developers
Hey HN!

YepCode is the swiss-army-knife for development teams that allow to connect any service and API in an agile way just writing source code and using a serverless environment.

It allows to build complex integrations forgetting about any devops hassle, and it's the perfect alternative when no-code tools may not fit: open data streams, huge amounts of information, complex implementation logics,... or when you don't want to have vendor lock-in with any platform.

YepCode Recipes are the best way to get started. They provide both source and target snippets to move information between services and APIs and they may be cloned in your YepCode account with just a click.

Some references:

[1] YepCode PH launch some months ago - https://www.producthunt.com/products/yepcode#yepcode
[2] Explore our docs - https://docs.yepcode.io/
[3] Sample video with full integration implementation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMlFrVnD_c

Having a quite mature product, our main focus right now is the go-to-market strategy, and we are trying both product-led-growth approach (any user may start with a FREE account) and also building an outbound sales strategy for enterprise companies with development teams.

Any suggestion with the go-to-market or feedback about the product will be highly appreaciated!
I still stick with Civ 5 myself. Never really cared for Civ 6.

Although Civ isn't really my type of strategy game anyway. It's fun, but man the games take forever(and I play classical chess...). And for single player, the AI is so dumb, annoying and belligerent it kinda saps the fun out of it for me. The difficulty levels in Civ 5 are actually all the same dumb AI, just with varying levels of cheats enabled. I believe on Diety it starts with 3 settlers or something bonkers like that, and a huge production multiplier to boot. And yet the AI is still so dumb that a strong human player can win a game against 5 diety AIs on the same team. If Civ 5 had a somewhat passable AI I would play a lot more I think, because then I could actually get practice put of single player mode.

Additionally there's so much busy work(micromanaging tiles/workers can get pretty tedious). I feel like strategically and tactically the game is pretty simple. In games against much more experienced players where I get a lucky start and we're even entering the endgame I tend to win because I'm just a better tactician due to studying chess. But they usually get much better early games because they know all the mechanics more intricately, which is basically rote. I'm kind of more partial to Risk for that reason. The rules are dead simple, yet it is still tactically very complicated.
Yes, but they don't secretly track you on the websites you visit.

They do it in some way, but not directly on the browser. More with settings sync, their search engines, ...

The thing about the law is, that some specific things are forbidden. And if you achieve the same goal, in another legal way, it is fine.

For example saving taxes: If you make a fraudulent report and save 1000$ this is illegal. But if you find a way to save 1000$ on taxes, by declaring something legal, the same 1000$ are fine. But in both cases you save exactly the same amount.

Volume Expansion and Snapshot Restores
This seemed like pretty wise advice, so I checked your profile and see that you're no stranger to getting projects completed!

I think a nice pairing to the "emotion" angle here, and along similar lines, is thinking about "meaning". What does it mean to you, deep down, to get this project finished? What need does it fulfil for you? Is it independence? Is it a burning need to create something, irrespective of the outcome? Is it the enjoyment from sharing what you've built? Is it financial freedom?

It boils down to having a clear idea of the why behind something you're working on. If you know why you're doing something, and you're really clear about it, I think that can really help motivation over the long haul.

Not everything needs a clear "why", but it can help.

Edit: on a bit of tangent related to thinking about the "why"; as a technologist/developer, when I first get involved in a technical project and a company asks for a specific technical solution, I find it really helpful to ask "why" and to keep asking that until I break through the layers and get to the root need that the business is trying to fulfil.

Many technology projects can go off track due to a lack of clarity about what actual business need those projects are trying to address. Often this is due to a bit of a disconnect between commercial/business people and technical teams, so it can be really useful to make sure that the business intent is communicated clearly before getting lost in the technical implementation details.

> It's the company's responsibility. Hiring and firing is not a one-man show.

The buck stops with the CEO.

Every hire/fire decision may not be made by them. (It should be at a smaller shop.) But the decision to lay off must be.

> Apologize to the employees leaving as a company. Explain why. Tell them what happens next. Apologize again.

Apologising to people you’re letting go is condescending. Doing so publicly is asinine. Telling them what happens next is…awkward? There is no next, at least not in a mutual context. You laid them off.

Messaging should focus on the people remaining. The CEO should speak to them and honestly acknowledge the mistakes they made that lead to a lay-off. Explain how they are over-correcting in response to those mistakes to safeguard the jobs of those who remain. Then get back to work.

Caveat: every culture is different. What’s expected in one is cringe worthy in another. This is what makes anything said publicly likely to backfire for all but the most anodyne firms.

> set your compensation to $0 or much lower and keep as many employees as possible

If you’re independently wealthy, sure. If not, you’re liable to freak everyone out. It says quite plainly your shop is at the red line.
Ok, so you agree that freely available Free and Open Source software can be developed by paid contributors.

You also agree that software solutions that are not fun to build can succeed as freely available Free and Open Source projects.

> if the linux kernel became paid

Like another comment I just replied to, [0] this conflates software freedom with price. Proprietary forks are often shunned as a lot of people care that the software they use have a Free and Open Source licence. This happens whether or not they're made available to download free of charge.

Also, the Linux kernel uses the GPLv2 licence, so non-Free forks are not permitted.

> they don't do it for charity.

Right, of course. When business interests can align with the interests of Free and Open Source projects, that's a good thing.

They used to provide relatively recent builds in their kubic repos. Unfortunately, for some reason, they decided to discontinue it[0]. They mentioned some CVEs or something in some issues raised around this, but to me that means pushing a new version/build and not discontinuing it.

Anyway, one of the members of the Containers org provides unstable kubic repos[1][2] for non RH systems. Unfortunately, this includes RCs, and non-stable versions, which is fine to get bleeding edge, but I'd rather just have the stable versions.

Due to the above, I've written some scripts to build deb packages for all the latest stable versions. So hopefully you can simply download the deb from GH releases[3] and then `dpkg -i *.deb && apt-get install -f`.

> The law require them to dispose broken nets at landfills but that is a cost center.

You could fix that by moving the cost. Make nets really expensive to purchase, and instead give a deposit back at the landfill. This way, there would be a profit in properly disposing of nets.

Of course, it might not be practical to suddenly have to watch for contraband smuggled nets at the borders.
Funnily we started with a pure web interface. But after testing it with a bunch of orgs we quickly noticed that some people have issues finding the URL where to request accesses or when they found it to finally sign in.
So we came up with the idea of bringing it to Slack: Cool thing is that the user is already logged in and can just interact with AccessOwl. We can easily keep him up2date about his/her access request.

However, I agree we shouldn't solely rely on Slack as orgs without Slack just can't use us at the moment. That's a good point! We already provide an admin interface as web app for easier filtering, reporting etc.

It is simply not true that non paying users "giving nothing" and therefore can't "expect nothing". I always wonder, where were these tech companies now if they started with that castrated service in the first place? Would you consider paying for git web service, no one ever heard about it? All these "cheap" users were making it possible to be greedy now. These companies just exploiting their network effect, well knowing their are now "to big to fail".

Even if it was perfectly authentic it'd still be cringe.

If someone on your company dies, that you knew personally, and you're making a statement about it, ok, maybe.

Otherwise, get a grip.

For me it's a fail on all fronts, lacking in authenticity, shallow attempt to gain empathy, marketing trick and sadly melodramatic, over sentimental.

Go out there, explain what the problem is, assume some degree of responsibility without saying things like 'it's all my fault', do not be overly familiar (i.e. 'we are all family!'), but don't be a jerk and get on with it.
I have not. Thank you I'll start learning that first.
> There is no "democratic process of adoption", because switching currency without a managed, centralised process is likely to be catastrophic.

Actually this already happens and has happened in many, many countries and time periods. Cities, even private companies, used to mint their own currencies. Nowadays many countries' people use the USD informally. Touristic spots often accept many different currencies. Bitcoin has been accessible to anyone on Earth for almost 13 years. There's nothing catastrophic about it, this is just how the world works.

> I mean... clearly not. 'criminal' is not some sort of moral status that can be waved away by saying "but they mean well", or applied to people doing things you can draw vague parallels with.

The comparison between a service that allows anyone to anonymize traceable-by-default currency (Tornado), and issuers of an anonymous untraceable-by-default currency (the FED) isn't a "vague parallel", it's fundamental. Both were legal at the time of their creation, one got declared illegal, allegedly because it got popular with North Korean hackers.

Having worked on my side project https://ayahbyayah.com for the last 10 years, (10 year anniversary on the AppStore next month) my biggest take-aways are

1. Consistency instead of Intensity - steady progress in small chunks help instead of all-nighters which lead to burn out

2. Fall in love with the process - ignore the outcome and keep working on your steps instead, it stops the worry about what's going to happen in the future

3. Ship an initial version before talking about it - talking about a project before you've released something makes you think that you've already achieved it.

The NATO gang was busy waging wars of aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya to bother much with threatening Russia from Ukraine's border. Besides, Russian relations with the west were relatively cordial until Hillary/NATO destroyed Libya.

As with Georgia the intent was to put the country on a 1-2 decade long path to article 5 protections (PFP) where NATO could gradually ramp up its ability to militarily threaten Russia but was under no obligation to actually defend against Russian aggression.
