> Where is the war happening? It's happening at Putin's border. This is a defense war that Putin is leading.

So if Turkey attacks Greece it would be Erdogan's defence war because it would happen at Turkey's borders?

Hard to follow that logic. Do you say that the invasions are actually defensive moves when they happen at the invaders borders(which is always the case when you invade a neighbour).

EU has a healthy society with ageing population. That's the crisis, it's not like middle east or Africa but like early stages of Japan. The USA doesn't have that problem, China has it much more severely.
MEL does as well. Tcl too (sometimes).
Text does feel like a really slow way to work sometimes.

A while ago in a React app I needed to keep some state around so lifted it from component state hooks to a context. Very mechanical work. It feels like we should be to say “move these to a context consumed by A, B, C” and just have it all done automatically.

Is there anything inherent to React/JS that stops something like IntelliJ implementing that?
> Across a 10-year study released in 2021, PE was the best performing asset class held by public pensions, with an average return of more than 12%.

How does that compare to a risk adjusted return and of taxpayers investing in VOO or any other broad market low cost index fund instead? And how are the expense ratios for PE funds versus index funds?

> They need to close that gap via higher returns or higher taxes.

I trust the federal government to close that gap via higher returns, mostly by not being afraid to decrease the purchasing power of USD.

I was a CS major who made a 20 year career in software who was always told I was bad at math and struggled all through school with math. Somewhere about ten years into my career I began to realize that it wasn't really that I was bad with math, but that the way math is taught just doesn't work for most people. And, a lot of that math that you were expected to learn is really only directly applicable in very specific circumstances that you might not encounter in your career - which is not to say that the mental exercise of learning them weren't worthwhile!

So my point is, if it isn't making sense the way you are being taught, go explore other avenues. There's no way these machine learning algorithms would have made sense to me as a 20-something undergrad, but as a 40-something who can explore them via software rather than a whiteboard, they really aren't that complicated to get started.

Having a dotfile automatically marked as hidden for example is a useful combination that keeps learned traditions when preferred.

> that's unnecessarily surprising.

I found it unnecessarily surprising that dotfiles werent shown when I got started with unix-like systems. I consider "surprise" to be a weak argument in this case, especially since we do have things that refer to a file that both the file browser and ls do not show (but which are still loaded since opendir and readdir do not care about the dot).

Whether or not a file with a dot at the beginning is shown or not is nothing but arbitrary convention.
I'd like my convention to not care about the file path to decide "does ls or the file browser show it", as that is how I prefer different concepts in general: decoupled.

However, I do accept surprise as an argument against hidden files at all (including dotfiles).

Liusha from Nimbus here.

Actually the larger the organizations the more necessary a cloud-based dev environment solution. That is why all the tech giants have a solution internally like Nimbus and all organizations with more than 500 engineers that I have talked to have something like Nimbus.

> To me this seemed like a novel way to enforce strictness in SDLC for junior devs writing javascript-like code...

The key is not to enforce a strict SDLC. The key word is `Consistent`. I can see some exceptions where teams want to have inconsistent environments but I believe vast majority of the teams want to have consistent environment within their eng org. It means easier onboarding, fast recovery, and better collaboration.

> ... but never came close to having the real IDE on your machine.

If you are doing iOS development or something similar I would agree that IDE on your machine is a necessary. After all, you still need XCode. (even that, I see technologies are catching up...) But other than those native apps, I don't see real difference between a local vs cloud dev environment.

Can you share some examples? What can you do on local but very difficult/impossible to do on cloud dev env?

> If you need reproducible builds? Why not just use docker?

Here are some of my thoughts:

1. in a small scale (3 micro-services + 1 DB + 1 webapp), I think docker does an amazing job to ensure reproducible builds. But as the complexity grow, docker starts to shift from part of the solution to part of the problem. Just to throw out some questions: how to manage compatibility if a team uses Windows, Mac, Linux at the same time, even with different versions? How to ensure 237 of my engineers do not have a broken environment when I want to bump the docker version?

2. There are things should not be part of docker images and those things are more troublesome than the build itself sometimes. For example: credentials, env vars, and so on. I don't remember how many times I need to ask a bunch of people just to get the credentials right.

3. Even an amazing tool like Docker does not have 100% of the market. So we may be a good alternative for the teams who choose not to use Docker.

Of course, there are various solutions to those different problems. I believe we are one of them. Moreover, I believe we can integrate with other solutions to solve the bigger problems.

Q&A: Marc Raibert on the Boston Dynamics AI Institute
I've had very similar thoughts and have wrote about them here. I would be interested in discussing more.

https://github.com/brennancheung/wasmtalk

Some key takeaways from the above link:

- The programmer's tool should be a tool for manipulating an annotated AST (not text)

- There should be many different types of UX's for different scenarios, each maps to and from an AST in a UX that is optimal for the developer for that scenario

- We must be conscious of human brain limitations and cognitive psychology and work within those constraints

- "Reading" and "Writing" code should have different UX's because they are radically different use cases

- Use RPN. It models the real world. Humans are designed to manipulate their environment in an incremental manner seeing the result each step of the way. When we have to plan out and write code for an extended period of time, trying to play compiler in our head, we overload our brain unnecessarily and highly likely to make simple mistakes.

- Testing should be a first class citizen in the developer experience and indeed baked into how we develop at a fundamental level that it seems strange that they are even decoupled to begin with.
They looked at Coinbase listing announcements from September 25, 2018 to May 1, 2022, and tracked four wallets that bought listings ahead of the announcements and earned an estimated profit of 1003 ETH ($1.5 million).

Of course, if you don't want to give those people your money, there is a simple solution: Don't buy shitcoins.
The majority of people do not pay any income tax and also receive numerous credits. This means they are net gainers of the tax system by not only not paying anything but actually receiving bonus money for things that they aren't taxed on.

When you add up all those other things, it amounts to essentially nothing. At the end of the day while we have certain pols demanding high earners "pay their fair share", the truth is most people pay nothing and the highest earners pay for almost everything. These are just the facts. I suspect the "fair share" nonsense is just trying to leverage jealous tendencies in certain people that can't be bothered to address the root cause of their shortcomings: themselves.
...my rule is primary keys should not have a business meaning.

OMG I so agree with this. I worked at a company where we wasted so much time, and moved so much more slowly, just because some previous technical person hadn't completely thought through the implications of ever including primary keys on the GL feed. The whole time I was there I begged the accounting drones to forget about this concept, repeatedly enlisting the marketing department who claimed to believe that velocity was a good thing, but I too failed. Eventually I realized that if we didn't give them primary keys they would have to lay off multiple people whose only function was to look at primary keys. Instead I should have invested more effort in programmatically generating the database entries that drove this whole boondoggle.

Not the first, and also not the last, place I worked where the CFO could have been the least honest person in the building.

GraphJSON has some nice APIs for embedding charts inside your own apps – Much like how Keen.io operated back in the day (but without the scammy business practices).

So, if you're a developer and you want a Mixpanel-style API to send events, and then a secure way to query them for individual customer accounts, and embed dashboards in your SPA, you can do all this, with some nice data visualization / chart building tools inside GraphJSON.
True, I played high-level hockey my whole life. And have actively worked out at a very high level most of my life… However I noticed everything dropping off around 50 and nothing seem to curb that.

Correct. This is non-sense speak by non-developers. Greedy non-developers.

they "sell" it as "25x duplicated effort" but in reality, there's 25x little tweaks to a build system, that give thousands of people zero effort to port their known platform right away. Now those thousands of people will have REAL effort to adapt their knowledge and existing ways to fit that one holy way enforced by the device true owners.

In reality it is "25x places where i will have to hide my plan for monetize this". Just like most other projects, greed always destroy everything the community help build in good will.
I find it poetic that DALL-E also has trouble with symmetry. Anyone who has done much art can tell you about the time they got half of something perfect, and then just couldn’t get the opposing part to be as good.

I cannot upvote this enough. I worked at a fintech company that was vehemently opposed to using double entry accounting and it created an incredible amount of inefficiencies and massive errors and expenses at the company.

Ask HN: How to Get Perspective on Latest AI/ML Developments?
It seems like recent developments in AI/ML (DALL-E 2 et al.) have been quite dramatic. Commentary ranges from art is dead, to art is now more empowered than ever. As someone who is an outsider to the field (although perhaps effected by developments in the field), I wonder what I should do to get a level-headed perspective? Are there experts who give honest opinions semi-regularly that I can follow? Has this all been considered somewhere already in the philosophy of AI? Or is there a way I can gently gain enough understanding to parse the latest developments myself and draw my own conclusions?

I don't think the company would try to create the town, they'd just start building office space and hiring people to move there. Then the town would grow around them.
I don't think that's the reason.

Touchscreens let you build arbitrary UI/UX. You can click anywhere and do gestures anywhere and type anywhere. When there doesn't need to be UI, like when watching a video, the whole phone is the screen. So the UI can optimize for the best UX. It's much more powerful.

With physical buttons, software is pigeon-holed into UI designed around those buttons. It's a massive trade-off. Something we take for granted like navigating a website becomes much more tedious when you only have buttons.

Just look how much effort goes into making software-specific hardware like the scroll wheel/drum on old-gen music players like the iPod, yet it doesn't solve something as simple as typing in a song search query.

How does that work? Just saying something does not make it true.
Unfortunately, I don't believe it can be fixed at the legislative level. It is horrific that the checks-and-balances are so deeply in conflict with a thumb on the scale in favor of the status quo, but any tweak you do ends up as either "tyranny of the majority" or "tyranny of the minority".

The issue, I believe, is that Manchin was engaging in legitimate disagreement. I don't particularly like it, but it's the kind of thing envisioned by democracy. The problem is that he was pulling out his legitimate disagreement in a context where absolute 100% consensus was required, because 50% of the Senators disagreed without even any attempt at legitimacy. Not a single one would even discuss common ground.

They wouldn't do that because they were told not to, by their constituents. That was the platform they ran on, and their voters approve.

Democracy has gotten jammed up, because lots of people want it to be jammed up. They didn't send a directive of "here are the things we care about and here are the things we are willing to negotiate about". They said "Do not negotiate about anything." At this moment, one of the few even willing to suggest negotiating stands a very good chance of losing her party's nomination.

I don't have a hard time believing one Senator is so intransigent. I have a hard time believing that such a huge fraction of the country is so intransigent that all of the focus comes down to that one man. But it is very clearly the case.
Here is a shorthand way to figure out if a food is nutritious: if it is fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is nutritious and you should eat it. If it is not fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is less nutritious and you should not eat it.

If you follow this rule religiously, then you will end up in phenomenal shape regardless of the number of calories you eat. It is impossible to eat in a more nutritious manner than I have described: fatty beef, eggs, and sardines. That's it. And drink only water. Everything else is junk.
> What we need is a way for all that unproductive capital used to directly fund the businesses of the young, growing the real economy (rather than the financial).

You're conflating financial "capital" with real productive capital here. In real terms, non-productive financial assets simply do not matter; whether landlords extract a billion or a trillion dollars makes not a whit of difference in the real goods and services the economy produces.

If you redirect financial assets from bidding up the value of housing to bidding up the value of small businesses, you've simply moved the siphon from cost of rent to the cost of owning your own business and/or suppressing wages.

Wasn't always this way...even not that long ago. Back when Heroku was getting serious about building up the Postgres service (I helped some...this is circa 2010) the common question was "that's weird, why not MySQL, isn't that how most Rails applications are run?" RDS only had a MySQL product for a very long time, and that followed from market demand. Tutorials for Rails were generally written with MySQL.

Hot standby (streaming replication) was a key feature to arrive around then. Also, I'd like to think a lot of the work Heroku did to engineer Heroku Postgres, and market it, contributed much better Postgres support in web frameworks and their affiliated ORMs in those critical years from 2010-2014, where encountering headwinds in defects in Postgres support for Rails, Node, etc was common.

When RDS came around with their Postgres offering, I'd say at that point, it could be said that Postgres entered a new stage: it was no longer reflexive for engineers to shrug their shoulders at shaky Postgres support in drivers/ORMs/etc like they did before that.

Google AI: New Google Research channel about how we advance the state of the art
> AI needs to replicate that to be independent from humans...

No, it doesn't. We don't re-research things, or re-invent things, from scratch constantly. We have knowledge of resource use for these tasks that are already recorded by people before us. AI doesn't need to research anything in this regard, it merely needs to have an existing knowledge of how to copy itself, which requires nothing more than being built with the knowledge of how to copy itself -- something which, as I mentioned, is already in development.

> That self-repair and self-replication is being researched does not imply its realistically or feasible. I don't see traces of that, too.

Constructs that spontaneously seek out resources and reproduce: https://wyss.harvard.edu/news/team-builds-first-living-robot...

And a more traditional robot type that can not only reproduce itself, but also evolve: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/self-replicating-rob...

And those are just two examples I found on a quick Google search. I'm not saying "we currently have robots that can fully self-reproduce without any help", but there's definitely research and progress being made in that area as we speak.
> But it's certainly not for the other participants who are getting rolled over by insiders. Why play a rigged game?

This only makes sense if you think of markets as gambling. Otherwise, other participants are always getting rolled by parties with better research, or perhaps just a faster internet connection.

> The latter two reasons are why it's illegal, by the way. It undermines confidence in markets, and it creates perverse, value-destroying incentives.

This doesn’t stand up to the most basic scrutiny. Sabotaging your publicly traded company is illegal whether or not you also engage in insider trading, what benefit is there to be had from criminalising the same thing twice?
I find it interesting but quite distressing how much sympathy he was willing to extend to his attacker, based on the fact that he (obviously) identified with the young person. I can’t help but ask myself: would he show the same sympathy for someone he did not identify with (yes I am talking about the color of skin, gender, social group, etc.)? How many other people in other positions of power (e.g. policemen, judges) feel and act the same? It just goes to show how, for true democracy, it is important that all groups of humans must be well represented in all positions of power. You just cannot escape from human bias.

Really astounding that a supposed philanthropist can write a letter like this and at the same time allegedly dedicate her life to improving people's welfare (the definition of philanthropy). I get that objecting to the housing development doesn't necessarily imply she's not an effective philanthropist, but the strong wording and outright dismissal really makes me think that her motives for doing philanthropy are more about power and a feeling of importance than an actual concern for others.
