I think a better book on this topic would be "Ordinary Men". It covers the "growth" of ordinary police reservists that had little to no Nazi tendencies to brutal mass murderers of Jewish men, women, children, elderly "just following orders". "The Banality of Evil" has legitimate criticisms directed at the book and most notably the narrative Eichmann sought to paint himself in (just an administrative employee), which contrasts with what his co-workers and superiors thought of him.
That's fascinating. I'm starting to awaken to the fact that America has a bunch of expensive solutions to problems and create these impressions that there is no other practical way. People figure out stuff all the time but somehow those means never become communicated to become mainstream or even purported as an alternative. It's interesting to put ideas to the "but does it scale" test. I think that idea of individual parents fully monitoring their kids maybe doesn't scale when the kids begin to outnumber the parents. Interesting stuff to ponder.
Yes. The first thing the chinese government did after Nixon ended sanctions and allowed trade, was to order 12 fertiliser plants from R W Kellogs (not the cornflakes one). Giant things that squeeze ammonia out of the atmosphere. That meant climbing out of a starvation cycle.

Nixon going to China probably saved 100s of millions of lives. Chinese lives of course but lives. Sadly for Nixon the lives he saved did not vote in Chicago.

Nixon was not evil. People arent evil. Decisions people make are evil.
Yes, it was just first introduction where I am a bit unsure how to really say what I mean. It's more when it get more attention for not obviously reasons or more like complaining why people don't do more research and find me (yes I know that's not how markets work as mentioned in other comments).

The Defold game engine IDE is written in Clojure, using cljfx, a React-like wrapper around JavaFX:

There are several examples of recent competitions that undercut your thought experiment: HLS, Gateway Resupply, Commercial Crew, Commercial Cargo, ...
Yeah. This is happening, look around job board. A lot of job description look really dumb, tech stack doesn't make sense for their business at all.
An odd one, that. After all the lore (geddit?) about Data and his brother being unique and special for their unrivalled artificial intelligence, it turned out all you have to do to exceed that is just vaguely ask a standard-issue ship computer to do so.
Yeah, SAP folk are always very conservative. A lot of stuff is actually quite fast, but you need to know an incredible tech stack nowadays going literally back to the 80s to new technology. But if you're in the known, it's fast.
The HLS and Gateway Resupply contracts were fixed price.

I'm sure neither was easy to estimate.
To that side note...

Perhaps your surprising feeling relates to the fact that storytelling is a very old art, and we have been practising it intensely for a long time.

In the greater scheme, maybe 3400 years isn't as long for storytelling as it is for most arts and practices that you'd be comparing to. Rock n Roll from 2022 isn't that different to someone from 2002. Rock and Roll from 1972 is very different to 1952. You could blow a 1952 mind mind with Ziggy Stardust or Houses of the Holy.
I would say it's not so much about good or bad design, and more about which kinds of decisions, how many moving parts, and what consequences they have down the line. Like on backend you will have a choice of database, choice of language, and the design of the Schema/API, most of which are easy to detach and replace at some point.

While on Frontend from the beginning, specially i you are working with a team, you will have to make a lot of small decisions that can cause all kinds of trouble down the line:

- How you build the project, javascript transpilers and all that mess.

- Decide a CSS framework, or not use a framework and then decide on an internal style guide.

- Decide on a component library.

- Decide on how to handle state.

Or you can skip those above and use pure HTML+CSS+Javascript, but those usually end up as very spaguettified and idiosyncratic projects, I rarely see anyone even considering it unless it's a personal project. And for a good reason, the structure provided by component and state handling libraries reduces a lot of the inherent chaos that is structuring frontend web project. But each of those also comes with its own bag of new problems, and complexity that requires the developers to handle a lot of disparate information in their heads while working on a project.
The seventies were an odd time - the generation who had come of age during WWII were in power. And WWII had the strangest historical anomoly - wealth was most evenly distributed post WWII than at any time prior. And it was working. It seemed a great idea to experiment with other ways to keep wealth fairly distributed. What a shame power and wealth found it's way back to the few.

We will have to fix that. preferably without a global war
With Uber, there's creation of positive economic surplus by (1) optimizing how well drivers are able to connect with riders based on distance, and (2) allowing drivers to create individual brand value through ratings which incentivizes better service. In a decentralized network of taxis, you get waste because riders can't connect with the closest taxi easily, and worse service because there's no brand equity to protect.

So on this point, I actually put the causal blame onto the homeowner lobby for causing our cities to facilitate cars over public transport. Uber is just downstream from planning decisions made a long time ago.

I have little sympathy for the other marketplace companies like DoorDash, though, because I don't view the end service (delivering unhealthy food) as particularly valuable to anyone except themselves, so all we're left with is rent seeking.

People are definitely evil. Just never from their own perspective.
Dianne Feinstein never attempted to control video games or doom. She just said that she was worried about the impact once, in April 3 2013, and Fox News has been screaming her name ever since. She's never introduced any law about this at all.

Only one California politician has ever attempted to do much of anything to video games: republican Joe Baca who tried a dozen times, and is mostly famous for his attempt in 2009 to get a warning sentence on boxes. Calling that censorship is pearl clutching

The only genuine attempt to do something an adult would consider censorship to video games were Jack Thompson, now banned republican, or that brief 2018 thing with Trump.

Democrats have never attempted to censor video games. All three major attempts were Republican.

It's important to get the details right if you are going to build an intuition of who's actually doing this

Again, part of me is glad I supported them. I just wish I wasn’t reminded of it several times a week when I’m dealing with one random issue or another with it.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I regret it more than any other large technology purchase I’ve ever made. If it weren’t for the principal of the matter I’d just cut my losses, buy something else, and put this thing in a closet.
More experienced devs are burning out and signing off from this crazy town. People after bootcamps trying to enter the market and making this carousel to spin even faster. Companies are looking specifically for Angular/React developers.
I've encountered the problem he describes in WinUI, too. It can happen in any toolkit where you bind to change events of "observables". In my case I had a list view and a details view, and when you pressed down in the list view, it would get janky and struggle to update the detail view in time. To make it worse, sometimes selecting a different row would hit off a HTTP request in the background to update some cached data.

I ended up implementing a similar rate limiter, I think based on this here: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2017/Jul/02/Debouncing-an... (I've never shipped it though.)

The art is to get the behavior just right. You want the first request to go through immediately, so on a single click the user sees low latency. But afterwards you need to throttle it so that it only updates every, say, 500 ms. And you must not forget to display the very latest state, if there is no new event after e.g. 50 ms.

This seems like one of those things that are really hard to get right and the toolkit developer should have solved for you. I've struggled with it a couple of times now.
There are 3 aspects in my opinion:

1- Companies understanding that a good user-interface is a must for their product. HN crowd are known for being anti-JavaScript, but modern web-apps are incredibly powerful and useful. This means you can't make your back-end developer glue together a JSP and call it a day anymore. So front-end overall is in high demand.

2- React helped standardize the way we do front-end. Yes Svelt, Vue and Solid are all great. But the ecosystem and the ability to hire from a large pool of talent without needing to train developers on your niche stack is a huge benefit.

3- React is easy to start, hard to master. When interviewing you'll likely be seeing a 10:1 ratio of boot-camp grads vs developers who have dealt with complex React apps at scale. This means an experienced React developer can ask for a higher salary.

It's not just that they are silent, most of them don't even speak English that well; or at all. And they build a lot of software. And they are all over the world. Any tech stack that ever mattered, there are still countless of people using working with that on a daily basis.

There are a lot of developers out there, tens of millions. That little bubble of users actually commenting on HN is tiny in comparison. So, yes it's good to be aware of that and appreciate the world is bigger than that. At the same time, like with politics, just because they are silent does not mean they don't have opinions. And they vote. With their feet. They'll adopt practices, tools, and technology they like or need and walk away from other things.

Jokes aside, it probably may not have been the most intuitive way.
Shameless plug here, but that is the purpose of [ImprovMX](https://improvmx.com).
We forward emails from a custom domain to a destination email that can be updated.

My personal email is contact@{custom domain} and currently points to Gmail because I never took the hassle to change it, but if someday I decide to move elsewhere (I'm contemplating Fastmail and Protonmail), all I will have to do is update my destination email at ImprovMX and that's all.

This is a liberty that only us, tech people, can grasp.

> folks opposed to anti-war protests

That's a very specific wording; were these people also pro-war, or did they just not like the protests themselves?

I think that's an important distinction to make. In my country we've had farmer's protests (environmental legislation has caused the government to target some farmers, things like forced buy-outs. It's all on paper and wouldn't affect that many people or the food supply since 65% is exported anyway, but still); while a lot of people agree and stand with the farmers, what they don't agree with is the protests they've done where they block the highways, first with just slow moving tractors as they made their way to the government seat, more recently with barricades, manure and burning hay bales. That affects people directly, the upsdie-down flags and slogans on fields along the roadside don't.
April Fools idea: enforce this on HN for 24 hours and watch the chaos
I have a slightly different view on microservices. They are not a technical solution but a business solution. Technically it's a fairly dumb idea ... but if every microservices is actually a tiny business function (that is some "atom" of the domain) then suddenly the business can see and manipulate and monitor and see stats in usage for each atom of its processes. Things become isibke that were hidden in giant "oh the refund section of screen four does that and bobbys team is working on that".

I think Programmer Anarchy was a early adopter of microservices and as they ran a business as developers I think this may have been useful
The fact that this does a request with the text you're entering to a server is just funny to me. This would be super easy to check in the frontend.

> How many founders are able to find success twice? How many thrice? It's shockingly low

Hmm, I felt I've read the occasional "serial entrepreneurs more likely to be succesful again" articles. So, I duckduckgo'd exactly that sentence, and I found immediate proof, with the all-reliable (right?) Forbes at the top search result:

"Serial Entrepreneurs Are More Successful" (from an independent contributor)

But then the second search result sets me straight:

"Research: Serial Entrepreneurs Aren’t Any More Likely to Succeed" (from HBR, so arguably more reliable?)

Both articles are ~10yo, fwiw.

Edit: this "feeling" about serial entrepreneurs to be more successful gets fed on a constant drip. Sometimes by the same culprit (hi, there, Forbes). This on my timeline yesterday: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kmehta/2022/08/23/older-entrepr...

There will be at most something like 5000 de novo mutations along any evolutionary line from 3400 BP. Compare that to 3 million differences between any two human genomes. It's clear from this basic fact that very little evolutionary time has passed, and people from then and now would be indistinguishable in virtually all aspects.

The vast majority of social media 'libel, fraud, threats, and other illegal acts' involves an unverified identity as either the sender and/or receiver. It can all be ignored with a click of the button, or often even easier because one never sees it in the first place.

And why does it matter if the total number of messages exceeds our ability to read them? People don't sue over an aggregate of messages but for individual messages. If there are too many people suing then the courts will simply take longer and longer until an equilibrium point is reached.
Not just google specifically, but making a product better is good for business. Eg making gmail better means more gmail users who log in more often and see more ads.

Practically speaking, most big (tech) companies probably have split teams for UI/Product and Ads. So there’s most likely a team of product managers and engineers at G who’s entire job is to make Gmail better - regardless of the ad team in the next building over. So those people literally don’t care about making G money per se, as long as they’re not introducing bugs into the ad showing logic or making it worse (see first point).
> First of all, when you're vocal, you're more likely to be heard.

Why is being heard a good thing? When I was at school I was the insufferable kid who always put their hand up as I knew the answer. Thinking somehow that the teacher wanted to know the answer. What I learned as I grew up is a lesson learned is better than a lesson told.
Here is the statement from Esoteric Games to the story: http://esotericsoftware.com/gloomhaven-helper

People don't need to take off from Earth on the Starship to get to the moon with it. Dragon 2 exists.

The only thing SLS currently adds to the moon mission is that it allows the switchover between capsule and Starship to happen in lunar orbit instead of LEO. This is not very valuable.

Ask HN: OS-level tool to sync input across applications / processes?
Is there a tool or workflow that can sync an arbitrary block of text from a text field / text area in one app to an arbitrary text field / text area in another app, in real time?

I've had this on my application wish list for workflow / productivity / tools / programming for years, and have never been able to find something like this.

An example use-case might be:

- User types "Hello" in Description field of appOne, where it is persisted normally.

- On each keystroke, or perhaps every ~1s, that same content is synced to the Description field in appTwo.

- Both appOne and appTwo could be browser tabs.

- appOne could be a native app with appTwo being a browser tab, or vice versa.

- appOne could even be a game instance, with appTwo being a Notes application.

- Think "multi-cursor" features in IDEs, but across apps, across processes.

Platform notes:

Windows solution preferred, but if this kind of tech is even remotely possible, I'd be willing to switch platforms for times where this workflow would be a game changer.

Possible matches:

My gut tells me that tools like Synergy, Parsec, or AutoHotkey might have the right kind of DNA to make this happen, but in the end, I'm grasping at straws trying to figure out how focus states, keyboard events, or text content could be redirected like this.

Thank you!

Ansible is wonderful. I'd strongly consider it if I wasn't against the idea of having interesting enough dotfiles to version.

What I do with RasPi servers is I make a pull and a push playbook that live in a repo, which let me deploy what I have onto a new server, and pull any changes made in server web GUIs into the repo where I can commit them.

Then of course any other random periodic task also becomes an Ansible task.

If I had a use case for lots of random little scripts on my main machine, I think I'd choose Ansible over bash where practical, you get so many tools premade, and you can run local or remote all the same.
