> You never know where the prevailing winds of online sentiment will turn next. Having your every post tagged with your identity can lead to real-life problems in the future, even if it was something edgy you said as a teenager or something you used to believe but don't any longer.

So maybe, for every single thought one has, one ought not fly around the world and post it on a flyer on every street corner and light post. Which is basically what posting on Twitter is.

But then I think a ton of stuff people casually do online is batshit crazy when you put it in real-world terms. Of course you wouldn't do the above. You wouldn't even do it if you had a magic button that could make it happen for you without taking time & money to go do it in person. "Post my random toilet thought on hundreds of millions of surfaces all over the world? No, god, why would I do that?"

Would you give a teenager access to such a magic button? Of course not. That would be entirely insane. Even if using the button would not, per se, get them in trouble, you'd destroy that thing or put it in a safe. Handing it over to them to do with as they please wouldn't even be something you'd consider doing.

But we live in a world where ~every developed-world kid has a button like that by age 12, and sometimes much earlier. WT actual F. Of course it's causing tons of problems. Most adults couldn't be trusted to make good choices with such a tool (clearly).

hummm.... that sounds like more power in the hands of less people.

IOW, your argument is based in fiction. Which is cool, we need stories about people flapping their hands to fly. It's fun!

We just need to be clear earlier in the conversation on whether or not reality is part of the goal or not.

> My favoured method is to keep manifests in full (which you can source from `helm template`!) as pure yaml files and version that.

I do something like this but I normally find that helm charts are not parametrized as I want and have to manually modify the output manifests. When updating from helm it can be challenging for other team members to understand what bits we want to take from the new helm template output and which ones we don’t. How do you deal with this?

Sometimes I update the helm chart to fit our use case, but it’s still hard if that is not merged upstream (because that means maintaining our own version of the helm chart)

The analogy is that one is a monetization model and the other is the composition of the core business.

In the former, the business is solving software engineering problems that very few dare to take on and the monetization model is online advertising.

Also, CERN in this analogy would be Alphabet.
The tools were significantly more expensive even as recently as the 90's, inflation adjusted, probably about 3x as much for hand tools on average. I couldn't say for power tools, as you are getting a lot of innovation that's hard to put a price on in that time frame, whereas with hand tools you are basically getting some decent alternatives in the realm of materials engineering with things like fiberglass, various coatigngs like cerakote, etc.

One other thing to mention is that there are companies that make hand tools that outperform snap-on handily these days, even if they struggle against some aged tools. If you are interested in an empirical look at this sort of analysis, side by side, Project Farm on Youtube has covered most hand tools by major brands at this point.

Also worth noting that while the ceiling on quality has lowered, the floor for most major manufacturers seems to have raised as well. A random modern hand tool is usually more likely to break the thing you are working against than to break itself, and I can't even remember the last time I've seen a hammer lose its head, a screwdriver tip get stripped out by a steel screw, a wrench snap at the neck, etc.
Whenever I write a non-trivial amount of code that appears to work the first time, I'm immediately suspicious. I probably spend more time testing that code than I would have if I had broken and fixed some things along the way.
> Why would you waste your time proving that something you wrote works, if you don't have product-market fit,

I am doing a company talk (we do them weekly) about network security and at least the way I was planning to explain tailscale to our staff was via a picture I still need to somehow build, but it goes something like this:

You have a crowd of people (like one of those massive crowds you see in Tokyo etc). And you are both at either sides of the crowd, and you each have a can with a string connecting you to each other – and I explain that the crowd is the public internet, and tailscale allows you to create that string across the whole crowd in a way that nobody in the crowd can ever listen to you guys talk, even though the string literally passes through/over tens of people in that crowd.

If someone has a photo like that, I'd gladly use it :)

> I've never seen anybody show up to a gas station and buy more than a few dollars worth of tickets

It's easy to wonder how it could all add up, if it's $1 now and then to enter Power Ball whenever it gets big, which I'm guessing is what you're imagining.

"personas" I've seen with regards to scratch tickets where it adds up quick-

1) Asks the clerk to throw in a $5 or $10 ticket every time they're at the store buying cigarettes

2) Starts with a single ticket now and then, and uses proceeds from every win to keep buying an increasing amount of tickets until it's gone or mostly gone.

3) Group of friends who go in on spending a few thousand on a whole roll of scratch tickets to get a lot of shots at a jackpot, and on average the tickets return something like 80% (i.e. 20% loss) so it probably won't be a total loss

This reminds me of what I've seen happen with the internal health-check endpoint often added to APIs. Simple at first, but eventually there are endpoints to cause the health-check to synthetically fail for deployment purposes; the health-check is also monitoring downstream dependencies; the health-check becomes much more and much less than it was intended to be.

Or you can do it the old fashion way. When I was in undergrad, anti abortion people showing graphic imagery and religious fanatics would use the fact that the main quad was a public space to stump their opinions. Most people would ignore them, others would stop to argue with them, but the cops never did anything because legally they could not remove them from a public space for speaking.

I haven't worked in Android, but a quick perusal at least passes my giggle test, which frankly too many languages do not.

This is essentially a refinement of the i18n support that has been in Java for ages. I probably would not have stuck with Java as long as I did if their localization support wasn't as good as it was (not to say it's perfect, because it's a bit clunky). Google has made a few of the examples into a more concrete requirement, which is nice.
I'm not asking about hypotheticals. I want to know any actual studies or even attempts at studies. There's no point in speculating about pendulums or anything if there aren't basic numbers and population sizes to work with. If people are funding research to determine how often narcissists accuse falsely of sexual misconduct I'd be interested to know what percentage of sexual misconduct are false to begin with so I know how to contextualize the study.

Yes, mindfulness is helpful in practicing this. When we have a thought – any thought – there is an inherent relationship with it, whether acceptance, resistance, fear, estrangement, desire, and so on.

The quality of this relationship is informed by various signals in your body/mind system (emotions, impressions, other thoughts and even skin reactions, in the case of persistent patterns).

It is crucial to be aware of this relationship, as your actions – and therefore what happens as a result of them – are strongly informed by it.

The idea that it's important to have a mainstream and consequence-free venue for all forms of speech may be your belief but it is not mine.

My belief is that public forums with reach into the tens or hundreds of millions are fertile ground for nationalist and genocidal movements, and they will be used for that purpose if it is not actively prevented.

Moderation of wide-reach public forums with the goal of preventing movements causing mass death and misery is perfectly consistent with my own beliefs about the value, conditions, and limits of free speech. You might believe differently, even oppose these beliefs, but the idea that the only correct stance is yours and all moral, rational people will converge on it is ridiculous.

The little click sounds on the linked page are unfortunate. I had to stop after like 20 seconds.
This is one of the better HN comments I’ve ever read on labor matters. Cheers.
I agree with this:

> So it could be argued that this magic saves you code in exchange for a need for more documentation,

But not this:

> at which point you might just be better off being more explicit in your code

Reason being that you only need to add documentation once (for the framework), and then you can have cleaner more readable code for every project using it. Yes, there’s magic enabling it, but shouldn’t need to worry about how it works if it’s well documented enough. And if you really need to know then you can read a post like this one which explains it.

Possibly. I think people in the US strongly associate "traffic" with cars and don't generally think of the crosswalk indicators as "traffic lights".
> This presumes that people are swayed by the content of an argument.

Freedom is a good in and of itself. Our rights don't need to serve a larger purpose.

Imagine asking for permission to read a book and being asked, "but what good would you reading this book do for society?" The answer of corse is that it doesn't matter -- our civil rights are not transactional -- they do not exist to serve others.

This article asserts SOLID and MVC is good with basically no justification. It also doesn’t show how non-hooks code would be better.
> today you learn that wire transfers are not irreversible

Nope. Reversing wires on bank error requires both sides’ consent. (Some wire agreements have you authorise the bank to do this on your behalf.) Less a reversal than sending a counterbalancing wire. Even this is only possible for minutes to a day.

Beyond that, e.g. in cases of fraud, law enforcement must freeze and seize.

You can't. More often than not, mental illness goes hand in hand with unorthodox thinking that breaks the mold and causes unexpected progress.

We could even say that mental illness is defined by falling significantly out of alignment with the median mind of society. A mentally healthy person in our modern society might be seen as completely insane and unwell in a hunter gatherer tribe.

But we generally don't get to work out who was just mentally ill with no value and who was a value add until well after their death.

I was at a YC startup in the mid 2010s for around 4 years. The most funding we got was a series B round but nothing more after.

Near the end, I had a happy hour or dinner with one of the co-founders. He told me that if he had to choose again (giving up his engineering job vs. starting up the company), he doesn't know if he would choose the start-up route again.

Just some food for thought. It's great playing the CEO or the founder and betting on yourself but at the end of the day, the financial trade-offs could be life changing (especially given the salary/stock options provided by top tech companies).
I think all of that comes down to incentive design being too narrow for some central departments. Terrible outcomes for the IT department are breaches and their own work going up a lot due to lower maintainability. Another example might be the legal department where the worst outcome is the company doing something that causes legal problems. Yet, the worst outcomes for the company of missing business opportunities because we ship too late or don't ship at all because we avoid all legal risk or everyone struggling with tooling.
Is Consciousness a “Controlled Brain Hallucination”? No
If you use a calculator and then carefully design out the logistics & geometry of your factory, you can build stuff that basically "just works" once you iron out the missing inserters & power poles. You get bottlenecks when you focus on one product at a time instead of looking at how the system as a whole functions.

> but I can see almost anyone falling into the exact same trap hes fallen into if they lived his life.

Kanye is a garden variety manic-depressive. It has likely been exacerbated by stress and self-medicating with the wrong drugs, causing instability, paranoia and delusion. Bipolar disorder is genetic, it doesn't develop due to no one being able to say "no" to them.

What you are describing, however, is one way that Narcissistic Personality Disorder can develop. Successful individuals are more at risk of NPD. One of the biggest issues is that NPD patients usually don't suffer, so they rarely seek treatment, which can correct if not cure the disorder in under 2 years, rare among psychological disorders. But the symptoms of NPD not only include an exaggerated sense of self-importance, but also an inability or fear of criticism, and exceptionally strong denial. Narcissists don't listen to anyone, such as those that are trying to help them, yet they require constant admiration.

It is likely West has one of the more benign flavors of NPD, at least, I haven't heard he is violent nor of reports of him berating and belittling others (though I do not follow celebrities). I think his biggest problem is BPD and drug abuse (though the self-medication may be keeping him alive, it is far less than an ideal solution), but due to the combination with NPD and vast wealth, and probably being surrounded by those that will never deny him his insane impulses, he's probably not going to get help until he bottoms out in clinical major depression for months, if he survives it. BPD must be maintained, and if it isn't, inevitably the train leaves the rails.
That's very subjective. It also adds a ton of new gameplay components that push factorio players to better think about how to manage their logistics which is fun for some players (not all for sure)
The issue discussed in the posted article isn't about a lack of supply.... [Here's an archived link.](https://archive.ph/2Kn0J)

One interesting paragraph about midway down:

>Dr. Helen O’Connell, Australia’s first female urologist, recalled that in her own medical training, the clitoris barely made a cameo. In the 1985 edition of the medical textbook “Last’s Anatomy” that she studied, a cross-section of the female pelvis omitted the clitoris entirely, and aspects of the female genitals were described as “poorly developed” and a “failure” of male genital formation. Descriptions of the penis went on for pages. To her, this widespread medical disregard helped explain why her urology peers worked to preserve nerves in the penis during prostate surgeries but not during pelvic surgeries on women.
>Perhaps wherever you're from you draw lines differently to how we do it in Europe, with regards to what is socially and morally acceptable to say?

Maybe that's why he has serious concerns? Funny how it's always valid for Europeans to have concerns about America and its differences, but when it's the other way around it's a barrage of "How dare you?!" (just look at the responses to OPs concerns).
A good VFX artist can also do a hell of a better job than any of these deepfake automated platforms. And has been able to do that for a long, long time now. So while deepfakes becoming more available to everyone worries me the fact that we have not yet seen tons of well done face swap videos done by malicious actors paying a decent VFX artist makes me wonder how big this will really become.

That being said for smaller countries with less internet access (and less education) this has already become a big problem (lots of cases in elections in Africa) so I think once again it comes down to education: we must inoculate people to bullshit like this by giving them the tools to spot it and future things like it.
>What was his name again and what was that awful platform?

it'd be great if his name really was that blanked from the public mind, but I don't think that's quite the case with that specific example, yet.
It's complicated - that's Free Speech as a right, but Free Speech as a virtue has a history in liberal thought that goes deeper than just protection from the government - most notably, Mill in On Liberty. There's an unfortunate but understandable tendency to conflate these two things.
I don’t think bad speech pushes out good speech directly. Rather, it pushes out the audience, and the good speakers follow.

The end result is the same, but it’s important to understand exactly where the mechanism is failing if you want to fix it.

There's lots of things demonitized and not getting recommended.

But what else is censored?
I love Fly.io and use it in production, but unless I'm missing something the author would have been better off just running their kubernetes cluster locally on a $6 VPS on digital ocean. That would also obviate the need for the procfile hack and tailscale.

Part of the problem is that we've trained everyone, especially nontechnical people, to ignore and dismiss stuff.

You're using a program. A thingy pops up or unexpectedly shows up that interrupts you.

80% chance it's some stupid ad or newsletter thing. Dismiss with prejudice.

19% chance it's a "oopsie poopsie we did and whoopsie, the server monkeys are working VERY HARD to fix this, sowwy!!" and then the app still works apparently just fine, or if it doesn't you just force close and re-open the app.

1% of the time it's an ad again.

In the remaining floating point error's worth of %, it's an actual actionable thing a user could action to fix the issue.

I don't really blame people for just predicting that a pop up will be useless because it probably will be.
Another comment mentioned that they took down wikiless without warning or explaination, and then the explaination that eventually came later was still not great (complaint from wikimedia). It doesn't sound like they are so much better on this point.
