They should make an exception for low volume/infrequent users. Yes free-tier power users should get incentive to level up. But if you have a slack with your spouse for house ideas where you post a few times a year, I think this is the type of user that gets the most pissed off by limits, because leveling up to the paid tier for a few messages a year seems like a ripoff/moneygrab.
Learn a new language. PHP (while not entirely garbage in its modern form, though based on your post I'm guessing you're not using it in a very modern way) has a stigma insofar as I (for one) assume someone that has only used PHP is not likely to ramp up quickly because they lack intellectual curiosity.

Honestly, when I'm looking at resumes, I immediately assume anyone that only has experience in one language is at best a junior level engineer even if they have 10 years of experience.

I'd recommend Python or Java. .NET is also an option. Learn them in your spare time (hell, even use them at work, no one will notice) and make sure you build something substantial before you put it on your resume.
Out of curiosity, what's your experience of the effects? I tried a toothpick covered in that hot sauce that comes in a flashbang-like container, and the pain was serious. Not intolerable, but akin to a burn that would blister all over the inside of my mouth.

Do you feel less pain than that? Or is the pain just worth it?
You're only thinking half-a-step ahead.

I don't care one way or the other about parasitical politicians trying to salvage fragile careers and egos. I care about what comes next. What happens once you agree to hand them that power to fight climate change?

If you accept the principle that the ends justify the means, there's no horror that can't conceivably be justified to fight climate change. This is the exact same mentality that leads to forms of human rights violations like an eternal war on drugs, eternal war on terror, violating peoples' privacy to "protect the children", and many abuses throughout history.
You get the government you deserve. If the people are dumb enough to be fleeced like this, they should be.
no strong opinion either way here, but would have liked to see a bit more technical depth here beyond the allegations of sql injection and a click baity title.
I always read these with dread. Mind-reading is such a violation of someone's privacy, I'm not sure it has many beneficial use cases, and I'm not sure that it will be done with informed consent most of the time in most, but a few countries. We are not ready for technologies like this.
Yes, now that you don't have debt yourself you can help other's pay theirs. Meanwhile you'll be informed of how fair this is.
Without sustaining any claims.
Citizens of other countries act as liaisons abroad to bring in their network and raise the GDP of their origin country by getting it involved in business it never would have heard of.

When I am involved, I shutdown anything that involves the US and can't be solved with a similar partner in Canada or Europe, without all the hassle.

You get what you pay for.
And guess what: it doesn't f*ing matter.
I think this comment is actually very insightful.

If you assume that 'nothing' is what cannot exist, then everything becomes a matter of scale and instrument sensitivity
The speed of causation is also so unintuitive imo, but also a must to make anything make sense logically. After watching many hours of youtube i still cant wrap my head around it.

1. graphql absolutely does not open you up to sql injection attacks. You could certainly end up being trapped by a endless recursive call loop but there are ways to clip your tree to avoid that!

2. graphql does not force your business logic to the client. you write a mutation. it takes parameters. whatever goes on after that is in the server and is whatever you want ON THE SERVER.

disclaimer: I built my startup on graphql.

Their hyperlambda product seems interesting but the number of things they get flat out wrong about sql makes me question if they did their homework before trying to make something better.
EDF is owned at 80% by the state, and the state has instituted the ARENH through law. Needless to say, EDF not going into this would mean someone else is replaced at the head and it still goes on. It's a classic starve the beast play.
It’s not pointless if you’re having fun doing it. Almost everything you mention as being important wasn’t even possible until 500 years ago at a minimum, what would you say about humans before then?
OMG, you can read my mind?
Yes. Cloud hosting puts out of the operator's space of concern actual maintenance of the hardware, which for most companies that want something like 24/7 uptime is a big deal.

I worked at a small company where we planned for 24/7 uptime before clouds were ubiquitous. We planned out which of the three engineers in the team would hold the pager and the cost of gas reimbursements for them to drive one state over to deal with the machine in the secured rack facility if it physically went down. We didn't have nearly enough bandwidth capacity to our building itself to support the traffic we anticipated for our service.

Smaller projects that don't require 24/7 uptime can be self-hosted, but you still want to be aware of fabric-layer security... If you're hosting on a machine in your building and somebody roots it, what will physical access to your intranet let them get away with? Can they see source code from there? Financials? Employee database? All of this is less a concern if you're using AWS with separated instances that are no more connected to each other than Netflix is to Disney+, even if they're in the same building.

Cloud hosting lets you focus on the software and credentials and pay someone else to focus on hardware and application of credentials.
One of YC's founding principles [0] is that having more startups is, overall, good for the world. Startups are the engine of economic progress (and sometimes social progress) and more of that is good. Not everyone shares that value, but startup founders themselves generally do.

By contrast, few people -- not even politicians -- believe that having more politicians would be good for the world. They probably believe that different politicians would be better for the world, but not simply more. Most money and effort in politics seems to be attacking politicians that oppose your interests, rather than helping people that support your interests. The zero-sumness of politics and the relative ease of attacking over defending makes that inevitable.

Part of what makes YC work is that most founders are happy to help most other founders, except for a few direct competitors. If you pick 2 YC founders at random, they'd be very likely to want to help and very unlikely to want to harm the other's business. If you pick 2 politicians at random, how will that go? That's the primary value-creating process of an accelerator, so it matters. You only get Metcalfe's Law network effect if most interactions are positive.

You're proposing an EA focus, which is an essentially progressive set of values so you won't have many conservatives. Perhaps more would be willing to help each other than in national politics. Still, even among EAs, my impression is that many of them oppose each other's goals.

> if I set it up late one night to cause trouble

Hehe, I might have done a thing like this late at night and not remembered the next day (for matters of simple tiredness to some level of inebriation).

Personally it frustrates me when I get an email which says something like "We are very interested in you based on your experience in techs X Y and Z", where X Y and Z are not present on my resume or linkedin. That shows intent to deceive, and I think recruiters like that deserve to live long, unhappy lives (until they learn to act right).
The list of shitty things they do is too long for here, but their new HQ was suppose to be 2 buildings. They decided against the other build during covid and work from home. Now there is just an empty lot downtown which no one can build on until the rights revert back to the city.

Another gem of a company called CoStar is look to build a huge building downtown too.
The real question is, does the US provide all the consular services to its citizens for free because of the taxation?

I know that a lot of other countries levy fees on their citizens for some services, especially those that are "nice to have" but not all that important.
Regulators don't even proactively enforce trademarks in the first place. The holder is responsible for bringing an action.
This meme has to end, there’s only one nuclear power plant in France (Blayais) that has no cooling towers, and another 4 have to occasionally throttle power output due to ecological concerns (used water is too hot, they currently have temporary exceptions).

The time loop is allowed by the current understanding of physics. The math checks out.
In my experience it's simply developer resources. In my entire career, I've never seen a complex web app "just work" across multiple browsers without some, if not a lot of, effort.

Testing on all browsers all the time is a significant cost to velocity. It almost always makes more sense to build for a single browser first, then figure out where the comparability issues are once you have an actual product.
What's the bottom line? How cheap could housing be?

When the father starts boasting at conferences on video about using Whitehouse aid money to extort Ukraine into removing the prosecutor going after his son I think maybe the sons business dealings found on said laptop referencing including money for the father multiple times might be worth taking into account?

After the mar-a-lago raid the fbi has written itself off almost completely for republican voters.

Zuck is positioning himself as victim of government and the fbi, and trying to win points with the right. He needs to do this because November will bring a red wave and the next president will almost certainly be red.

Appearing like a democrat ally at this point is suicide for Facebook in 2 years. He needs to repair relations.
I didn't go to the best college (not a bad one either), I wasn't top of my class in high school. I moved to Boston and was surrounded by MIT and Harvard people. I had a complex for years about never being good enough because I wasn't credentialed in that way. I poured hours upon hours in my early career getting better and working late and reading incessantly and writing and rewriting PR's. Working through design tradeoffs over and over. Working on passion projects at work that no one was asking for. And at the end of all that, I was easily playing at or above the level around me. A lot of people stop investing in themselves post college and feel that after they've done the school thing and secured the job they can coast, but I'll tell you that if you deeply invest in yourself in your work years and don't just do what's expected, you will see the growth and change and it will be marked.

You can't reclaim those early years. Have some empathy for your younger self, you may have been avoiding the pain of living. You may still be, get a good therapist. If not just know that those companies worked very hard to create random reward loops that your brain ate like candy and the real world will absolutely not reward you like that.

They listen to the ones they find useful. I guarantee you "trickle down" wasn't Bush's idea, an econ man put those words in his head, and it was to provide academic justification for giving the rich a big wealth transfer from the working class.

Hello from zone 4. Indeed, people here are pretty pissed about this. Basically, if an exporting transmission line got damaged, zone 4 prices would drop instantly.
Time to go to Tromsø. Forget about autobahn or even seeing the sun in the winter. Time for us to emigrate in northern norway where the electricity is still cheap.
It's something we learn very early in the philosophy of science, is that our vision of the world will always be inherently limited by the capabilities of our perception and the way we process it
The increase in money supply may not be bad but it's obviously bad now, when inflation is so high. So even if you're in favour of these policies you must think the timing is bad. The fact that's it's happening despite inflation is further proof that this is a political gimmick.
I just had a look, can't find anything about the wine protest - it was 40 years ago, all pre-web, part of a larger anti-apartheid movement in New Zealand - organised by a local group HART who, among other things were targeting NZ imports from SA, people were going into stores and stickering SA products (especially bottles of wine)

The 1981 Springbok was probably the biggest thing that happened - I got arrested for blowing a whistle during a game (seems there's some silly rule that only one person at a rugby game can have a whistle or something, they couldn't find it when I got to the station and I was released without charge)

It's true. Nothing "matters".

Alternatively, and secularly: It may be the ONLY thing that matters.
> If we would consume 20% less, which should be absolutely doable, these problems would alleviate itself quite fast (well, we still should invest as much as we can in renewables). However, for that to happen we would need to have governments that are not afraid and act.

Act how exactly? How do you propose on forcing everyone, citizens and enterprises, to consume less energy? Why would they want to do that? Transition to less energy intensive alternatives sure (like LEDs), but that's not easy, will require massive investments and is by the way already in progress.
I rise to a point of order! The motion was not seconded!

Stop being impressed by people who do lots of work. For every John Carmack working hours everyday and winning, there are thousands who've worked equally hard if not more and failed. Some people just get lucky, almost everybody else doesn't.

Don't be impressed by survivorship bias. If you had fun playing games and hanging out with your friends, it was time well spent.

If you want to work hard and build software you have whole life ahead of you and you can do that as well. But as a middle aged programmer, if I were starting out, I would put my health, relationships and retirement on high priority than putting Lines of Code as a measure of success.
Not about 8chan I mean a place where there is no censorship. It is not a guarantee of truth but sometimes a prerequisite
Applying the rules created by the other two branches is the Supreme Court’s mandate. What you’re advocating is breaking the third branch of government on the theory that the other two branches are broken and need to be worked around.

A “results” oriented society is a regression from a “rules” oriented society. We have that in Bangladesh—courts that do what they think is “right” instead of following the rules. It’s better than courts where judges take bribes or act in their personal self interest, but not as good as courts that rationally apply the rules. It doesn’t promote respect for the rule of law because people disagree on what’s just and right. But mostly they can agree on the rules and reconcile themselves to the results if they feel the rules were followed.

What a shamefully misleading article title! I’m shocked to see so many well educated Americans, who should know better, embrace such thinking. What I admire most about Americans is that they’ll jump off a bridge if a court tells them to and the paperwork is in order. That’s how you build a marvelous civilization.
Sweden doesn't want more than one zone either, but was forced into it.
Not trying to say you have approached this the wrong way, but one thing strikes me and that is that you have done an impressive job of scaling up ops and development all by yourself.

If you have that much code and that many servers in an SMB, your work is likely critical to the company. Assuming your managers are rational and want what's best for the company, it seems like they might taking you for granted and that they are overlooking a fairly big risk (you leaving).

It's possible that you have done a "too good" job and left them with the impression that your job isn't that hard, and that you could easily be replaced. Things are rarely broken, new features are added on time, and nobody feels the urgency of scaling your one-person team.

I'd use your qualities to communicate these things. Be the employee you wish you had. If that's not appreciated, take the first chance you get to leave.

You're loyal, so perhaps you could proactively list what it is that you do in your job - "in case I get hit by a bus". Show that you care about the company, and that you're trying to help them prevent a bad situation. List everything you do and have done that provides value for the company and what skillset is required for those things. Writing your job description like that will give a better picture of the scope and importance of your work. I assume your managers aren't very technical, so it also gives them an opportunity to check with their advisors and network, in case they think you're exaggerating (don't be too humble, and be specific).

You're also hard-working, so one approach is to tell your closest manager that you think your market value is X, and that your current compensation is too far from that to justify you staying with the company in the long run. "I want to stay at Company, but I can't afford not to switch jobs eventually since working here effectively costs me Y per year."

If that's not getting across, I think that the company needs to feel the pain a bit. See if you can find a way to leave while being as professional as you can. Set the date and give them time to figure out what to do. They will most likely have trouble finding a replacement, and if they do they will not have a lot of time to on-board. You've warned them, been firm but professional the whole time, so now it's your closest managers responsibility. The higher ups, if you have any, will not be pleased that they weren't warned in time.

You don't owe them anything, you're valuable and you have knowledge that will be expensive to replace. If they're rational, they have somehow missed this information. If they're just playing mind games, they need to be called out (not your job).

Just my suggestion. Assuming people are rational and just lacking information often gets surprising results, and builds trust over time.
Russia is very different from Italy, they have local production of almost all goods. I think you're right that a western country that was cut off like Russia would have failed as you predict. That Russia hasn't should tell you that your understanding of their situation is wrong. I think we'll really see that this winter.
I would love it if we could have HN threads where we're not discussing the naming of things, nor complaining about the discussion of naming of things like I am doing now.
No you would only add capacity if you thought the long term trends supported it. Building large power generation facilities is expensive and takes time. If prices go back to normal in the spring those new builds could end up as massive money losers.
Hey cool I'm working on power metering for industrial chillers and hope to learn how to notice this too.
> did they cheapen out on PD?

For this question I think I know the answer: USB PD chips are hard to obtain right now. So they probably left it out just due to a lack of general (reliable) availability.

Stop falling for the productivity cult.
It's because the alternative is "I went to a store" which only invites unnecessary questions and isn't relevant to the conversation or will become clear so the indicates that, much like ある人 in Japanese means "someone in particular but I'm not going to mention the name because it's pointless to what I'm telling you and it'll just bog us down if I bring it up but it was someone definite", much like the store.
Ask HN: What do you think would make Youtube better for you?
Hey folks!

I am Amine, a web developer and I want to build a platform to make your Youtube experience much better by cutting the fluff out of your way and make your recommendations much worth it by giving you more control on what you want to watch and not be stuck in a content loop anymore.

So I would like to know: What do you don't like about the Youtube algorithm? What would make it better in your opinion?
Could you elaborate? The claim is so different from my experience that I am really curious as to why.
Yes, it's not just clicking a "create VM" button or setting up a box in the closet. It's setting up the networking and security so that only the right people can access it and the packages are updated etc. And being the support person if anyone besides yourself is using it.
Moviepass didn't work because the only people willing to pay are those who are already spending more than, or close to, the cost of the pass and they know it because they are used to paying each time they go.

Plus going to the movies is fun, there is little resistance to it. There is a lot of resistance to going to the gym, even if you feel great once you do go.
