Thanks for the feedback.
As for the pricing, this was an initial draft that was published some time ago, and since then, some concepts have been changed. We are working on new pricing tiers, which will be published soon - anyway, the product will be free and open-source for individual developers and open-source projects.

About the users - we are building Amplication for pro backend developers. The code we generate is built based on best practices with well-known technology, so it does not require learning anything unique to Amplication.

Also, we provide several ways to customize the code without breaking the link to Amplication so you can add business logic and customize your server with minimal conflicts.

When you build your server with Amplication, you get the server with all your data models, DTOs, and more so it saves you a lot of writing.

We are working now on a new version that will allow you to build microservices with or without databases, with or without queues and message brokers. And on top of that, we will introduce a plugin system allowing teams to use their own best practices and standards for the generated code.

Would love to get your feedback or any suggestions or ideas you may have.
What about 50%?
It doesn't look like it works for any kind of cargo movement. It does not look like it can handle furniture, bags of groceries, or open boxes. A car does all those things.

Unless you have a trailer, I guess?
For a few years I am working on the side on a HN client. One thing that is really sad is that there is now way to handle authentication properly as a 3rd party. The user basically has to trust you with her/his password or you have to "steal" the auth token from a login.
Real Engineering always does such an amazing job on all their content, although I can't help but fixate on what the release mechanism looks like since it wasn't revealed in this video.

This comment was inspired by another commenter saying something about shooting the rocket off the side of a mountain.

I'm theory-crafting here without any specialized knowledge on the subject, asking strictly out of a mix of curiosity and fun. Is there an online community where I could pose this question and get a well-informed response about its viability?

What if you dug a very deep hole, created a near-vaccuum, and you shot the rocket out like a rail-cannon?

Here's a quick and simple sketch [0] of what I have in mind.

Ehh. If I'm writing a Makefile, team context or no, it's almost certainly because I don't expect other people to be more familiar with Make than I am. If anything, I would expect ONESHELL to map to how most programmers think Make already works, even though it doesn't. I know I have to go look up the various Make-isms whenever I need to do anything complex.

And a Make supergenius, should I ever meet one, surely will look at the top of the file or derive from "incorrect" code that something is nonstandard.

I'd love better tools that take the good parts of Make (around file transformations, mostly) and expose them more effectively in shells (because doing so in a more fully featured programming language often results in different and worse hacks--hi, Rake) but using Make to do things more people will find predictable seems fine to me.
> The concern is that they become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

An effective education is ultimately the student's responsibility. If we could somehow teach that at an early age, lot of these problems become irrelevant.

As a freshman I was placed in a geometry class in high school that included several seniors that obviously came to class high and some that spoke 0 English. I asked for more difficult problems in class, unaware that an advanced geometry class even existed at the school.

After taking a precalc class as a junior (which was after I took a precalc summer class at a local university), I was told I would be placed in AP calc AB.

I literally had to accost the teacher after class and say that was unacceptable. He said if I could convince the Calc teacher I should be in BC calc, I could take it. As luck would have it, the calc teacher was my former geometry teacher. I finished AP calc BC with an A and a 5/5 on the AP exam, but what if I hadn't been so lucky (knew the teacher) or so pissed off with my education up to that point that I had respected the precalc teacher's decision?
Open lottery admission isn't the same as universal retention. Some charters and even magnets later "counsel out" admitted kids who act up, perform poorly on tests, or need expensive extra services, saying the school isn't the right fit for them. Traditional district public schools don't have this option and usually wind up taking back the kids who wash out of the choice schools.

Yes. Admitted. [0]

> The difference between L2 and L5 is liability.

Everyone from the regulators to Musk himself have known that for years that it is more than just liability and none of the claims of achieving 'Level 5' FSD and the hype around the robotaxis have ever materialized with many customers falling for the scam lead by the pied piper (Musk) and once again increased prices on a broken product.

> We could use "permissioned blockchains" (which involve no speculative financial tokens or environmentally destructive "mining") ubiquitously in important institutions to notarize almost everything

This is a good idea, but you don't need a "permissioned blockchain" whatever that is. Just use git.
"Free speech used to be compatible with interests of the royalty, but as the society has grown bigger, the royalty and freedom of speech can no longer coexist, and one of them has to go." would be a more honest statement.
Sorry, 99.99999% of the general population don't know what restic or rclone is. In fact, I won't be surprised if 90% of software engineers have never heard of them. These things aren't really know outside circles like hacker news.
> "Thousands of hours of historical Sesame Street" is exactly the type of content that streaming should be making economically viable for the first time.

Broadly, it does, but the countless historic episodes (of many things) are not sitting there as nicely encoded video files with cleared distribution rights.

Much work will not have been well-archived in the first place (if at all), nor catalogued well (if at all), and there will be performers and musicians and other contributors who may have various rights that need to be identified and negotiated before a legitimate streaming site can air it.

In all, it makes the per-item preparatory effort quite high and means that most old stuff will be left to volunteer, underground distribution for a very long time.
I’ve used dos, windows, linux, and mac. I appreciate the fact that macs are not very tweakable.

I won’t speak for others but for me endless customization of everything supposedly for optimization was just another form of procrastination.

I also appreciate that it mostly either works or it doesn’t. Either it’s broken and I need to swap it for a refurb or it works. Not much staying up late reading obscure stack overflow posts (in the old days webforums, in the old old days newsgroups) and trying this one more thing to fix the problem de jure.
A more charitable view of the situation would be a requirement that any content which has taken public funding should always be able to be "reasonably accessed."

This allows private businesses to seek out solutions that are in their best interest, while also offering some protections to consumers. I don't see it as any different from the way we regulate other public utilities, like not allowing power companies to shut off service during the winter.

Note that I specifically used ambiguous language so that a wide range of uses for the content are possible. I don't necessarily have a problem with Sesame Street being behind a paywall, provided that the service isn't priced in an absurd manner.
I don’t want teachers anymore either because I see them as an institution of racially motivated anti-white hate. From CRT to the Minneapolis teachers’ union all I see is hate.
This is news to me that people can't/don't do long division. It's simple. I use it regularly to estimate quotients--just run the process to a couple places in your head.

It all seems generally dubious to me. But I think solar panels could survive that force if they were firmly supported inside the vehicle before launch; I don't think the acceleration itself would break the panels if they were prevented from flexing. For an engine, maybe solid fuel but the fuel itself would be structural. A pressure-fed liquid fuel engine might be easier, if you could get valves (and actuators for those valves) to survive that kind of force.

Email is by far the biggest albatross around my neck. To migrate email requires me to setup two different failure points: purchase a domain and a Fastmail-like service. Now that is two different places that are subject to me forgetting to pay a bill, being social engineered into giving away my account, etc. To say nothing of the long tail of acquaintances who only know be my current address.

Yet still, this existential terror exists that I will Do Something Wrong (no you will never know what it was), and lose everything.
Yeah, the two places I find myself still reaching for vim are Git commits and quick shell/Makefile tweaks and both are correctly formatted out of the box (shortened Git first lines on commits, etc).

I'm genuinely interested in the link to the data about the vaxx / unvaxxed split.

Test build is dozens of gigabytes and millions of files and takes 20+ minutes.

When setting up github actions matrix, we have a choice of either (1) build before every test (+20 minutes per test) or (2) making a huge docker image and upload it, and download it for each worker, which also is 20+ minutes or more.

You can use github actions if you just use github to allocate nodes, and do all the work with your custom test scheduler, but then you are starting on the road of rewriting the CI/CD for yourself.
Could you provide some concrete examples please?
No, You Are Probably Not Going to Get That Promotion
Many entry-level sales jobs, which often require no specific college degree, though typically a college degree is preferred, earn 50-70k /year. Entry level sales, specifically, can easily net over 100k a year if you are good at what you do as you work at least partially on commission.

Teachers, companies are discovering, are desirable sales reps because they are experienced at being high energy, talking extemporaneously, and may have some domain specific knowledge that is valuable, such as a chemistry teacher going into pharmaceutical sales.

Most teachers will never make 100k in their entire career. Some districts pay well in high COL areas, but this is the exception not the rule. Entry level pay for teachers is actually pretty good, but your salary does not scale as it does in most other careers. It typically takes 20+ years to get to six figures if you can at all.
That's a false dichotomy, because nonreligious people find some other ways to create an "us vs them" mindset. We see it all the time.

It's also a fallacy to group all religions under one banner and claim that they all say the same. Even among what you call "organized religion", while there is some overlap between say Islam and Judaism/Christianity, once you start looking at things deeper, you'll see how Islam comes out different, and as a Muslim, I'd say on top.
> I can never find anything in word or excel or any other application that use windows style menus. On Mac you at least get a real menu.

I’ll never understand why it’s so common for Windows and Linux GTK apps to go so far out of their way to avoid using a tried and true menubar. Hamburger menus are probably the most common substitute, and they’re strictly worse in every way, being basically junk drawers in software form.

That’s one of the things I love about the global menubar on macOS: because it’s owned by the system, third party devs can’t try to delete it out of some misguided pursuit of minimalism. Several cross platform apps that lack menubars on Windows and Linux have proper menus on macOS as a result.
And it failed at that. As the text gets longer and longer, the lack of synthesis across the contexts you've glued together becomes ever more glaring. It's a decent hack but not a solution. More research is needed for how to forget properly across long contexts.
Using Automation to Become a Better Public Speaker

From growing up watching my mother struggling with the daft administration she dealt with as a teacher, I pretty much agree with the overall thrust of this article.

I personally enjoy teaching and have discussed many times with my wife that I should teach in my retirement from tech, but we both understand the pay is so little it doesn’t provide a realistic career option until after we’ve hit FIRE.

We truly do treat teachers horribly in this country. That said, I think this article would have been better without irrelevant jabs at favored left-wing punching bags who have nothing to do with the main point.
I've never written a non trivial Makefile, because all my non trivial Makefiles are generated by CMake. I'm interested in why my CMakes are wrong since it's a way more complicated tool.

I am not saying it is right, but to a large degree this is the cost that some of us 'pay' for millions having 'free' Gmail/GDrive etc. Fully automated processes that close accounts, no due process to get them timely reinstated when the machine made an error.
You are correct, if they admit a mistake here, it will open the doors to lots of claims. I sometimes think they could a lot of people to pay for the service (with $ not just having their digital lives being harvested) if they knew to be treated better when something like this happens.

How much does HN cost to run I wonder.
I was going to say, streaming with “gig economy” ride sharing are completely different.

Streaming really has no right to not be “convenient”. The only reason it’s reverting to inconvenient is because of beaurocracy and aggressive licensing and copyright enforcement. One can argue that it costs money to make movies and producers need to get that money back, but even older movies which have already been released and made huge profits are no longer available or available on different platforms. Then there is region locking and overlooked movies which are flat-out unavailable. Because of all this, there is widespread piracy, and afaik if you have a good pirate setup streaming is still very convenient.

On the other hand, the convenience and low price of ride-sharing and delivery apps was unsustainable, temporary, and didn’t even really exist in the first place. When you get an Uber it costs like $10 for a 10-minute ride on a good day, and the delivery fees are often as much as the cost of your meal itself. Yet Uber doesn’t even make profit (I don’t know how that works and they’re not bankrupt, they have external funding but are allegedly losing money every year on their actual services). You can’t pirate a free ride or meal.

Because combatting mis/dis-information is largely a problem at the tail-end of the distribution (ie.: the crazier, most unhinged end of it).

Even though I agree with your comment, I don't know of any European countries where you could opt-out from paying social security. Even if some small eastern european country has this option, it is probably unsustainable for a larger country (or one with more healthcare spending).
I made a scented tree move
Are you located in the US? If so, I would be really concerned, not in this context but about potential violation of HIPPA. All my communication with a doctor's office goes through the "private message" of the office/hospital's website because there are regulations around that. Think about it -- what if she lost her phone and for some reason the phone is unlocked or decrypted by other means?

And even if you are not located in the US, I would recommend that your wife looks up local regulation and considers alternative methods to communicate with patients.
That is a really good point.

Furthermore, it is marginal cost for the content creating peoples. They just have to read the script and roll the supplied graphics. If they get $1 from total sales then it is worthwhile if you are only getting 2K views. Maybe these VPNs offer a minimum fee and then commission on top so that there is always a payday, albeit small.

None of them seem to record bespoke content where they demo the VPN for real or show how it works.

The message has pivoted to getting content from region locked services such as Netflix.

With car insurance (the last time I was watching TV, some years ago) they had rather silly 'meerkats' with Russian stereotype characters selling the insurance, with the people collecting the fluffy toy versions of the 'meerkats'. If you renew your insurance every year you get another 'meerkat' and soon the goal is to collect the set.

Often it is the company that pays the insurance but the employee gets the 'meerkat', maybe to post to eBay...

My niece's inheritance is mostly 'meerkat' toys and a few empty beer bottles.

I am holding out with OpenVPN on a VPS until cuddly toys get given out with VPNs and they are advertised in every YT show with AI generated cuddly toys with AI accents.
i'm aware of that, but can you give me a concrete examples where teacher unions in minnesota are causing the problem of occupational licensing?
I think the set of possible things is not limited to these two things you have arbitrarily presented for some reason.

For instance, one of the infite things which are neither of those things, is that there are no evictions or sherrifs or guns that play any part in a software developer's housing arrangements, because they simply moved long before it gets to that point.

There are people who get themselves into that position, but they are surely not the kind of smart lawyer coders who make valid arguments on HN right?

If you're here, trying to argue something at all, then one presumes you think you're generally on top of things and not an idiot, right? Well, then does a smart rational person just sit there in a place they can't afford for the weeks or months it takes before serriffs come, and do so at gunpoint? You do realize they don't just start with that right? That there are many letters and notices, and mere pieces of paper over the course of several weeks to months before LE comes, and even when they do they don't actually point guns at you unless you barricade yourself in and resist or something.

You can't invoke a STUPID hyperbolic image like that and at the same time lay any claim to have any sort of valid point to argue, considering this whole thread is about taking high paid developer jobs which they don't give out to idiots. But they do give them out to people who seem to think everyone else are idiots that don't know self serving hyperbole when they see it, and are such huge fragile babies they can not under any circumstances tolerate having this pointed out.
