> You guys voted for brexit and that would put brexiters with the majority/centre.

The brexit vote passed with a very slim majority, which is why it's still controversial here.

It's also a cross spectrum issue, i.e. not of the left or the right.

Personally, I would like to see our politics become more centred and pragmatic again.

I don't want anyone like either Jeremy Corbyn or Jacob Rees-Mogg near the levers of power. Both seem determined to destroy things of value for the sake for the sake of the personal political dogmas.
> don't recall Microsoft making this technology free for OSS development.

Actually, they did exactly that... Anyone with a decent number of commits to any opensource project gets a copilot license for free.
Show me a place that lacks inequality and I'll show you a place that drove out all their poor people.
You're not talking about a personal website. You're talking about your profit motivated resume for work. Of course work stuff has to use stupid technologies and do cargo cult stuff. You're trying to show you can do the things that for-profit contexts require.
Estimating what?

If we're talking about effort, timelines, etc, then it does work. You are right that it generally doesn't work on the surface. However, even if the estimates are wrong, the benefit is that the artificial dates and such provide a mental push. In some cases dates are important, to meet a business deadline, beat a competitor, etc. Breaking that up and pushing it down to smaller stories means more feedback which provides more of that 11th hour push more often.

And then of course things like costs and staffing are crucial to any business.
If food became twice as cheap, would you consume twice as many calories?

Induced demand is easily applied to traffic because people shift consumption from X to X+Y% miles when trip times are reduced. Housing demand is finite. There is no +Y% additional housing that is being consumed when it is free, because it's only available to people who have none. Google's software engineers aren't going to be using free housing if it becomes available.
And what will be your response if you were living in Poland or Romania or Latvia or Lithuania?
I mean the answer to this is not as simple as "yes trash belongs in trash bins".
How do you organize trash pickup? Where do these receptacles get placed? How large should they be? Is this for business and residential? Do trash routes need to change as well? NYC is massive and what will probably work in a neighborhood in Manhattan may not work for one in Staten Island. It's not at all a simple exercise.
I'm pivoting my career away from Rails after 10 years with it. Elixir and Phoenix fills the Rails void and does what Rails does better than Rails with usually better code at ~7x the speed. In my opinion - there's no reason to build a new app in Rails today aside from familiarity.

As someone with 20+ years in IT, I agree - a lot of these "new and exciting paradigms" are not new at all.

My personal favourite is how many large multi-nationals are now building in-house clouds?

WTF is the difference between an "in-house cloud" and a shared-use datacenter from the 1990's?
Because they aren't selling commodities/consumables. In the world of technology this is textbook anti competitive behavior.

Building and navigating around web3 is overly complicated.

It is still hard for non-technical users to do simple things like getting important data for their use cases. You will always need custom code or developer-focused tools to get the needed information.

You - and many others, including Microsoft - are assuming some incredible inability to understand what ML is and does.

Microsoft's position basically distills to laundering:

At the entrance to the black box, there are assets being appropriated in a way that is difficult to criticize. At the exit, the same assets - trivially manipulated - are presented as if they were invented by the box itself.

It doesn't matter what the box is or does. It's clearly deriving its output from its input. An appeal to the complexity of the box as its own moral ground leaves us with nowhere to stand.
I think you're demonstrating why libraries are slower.

Solving Elgar's Enigma (2010)
Thankfully, I don't feel like I am "on speed" at the dose I take. The goal was to increase the levels of neurotransmitters I'm not good at producing/not sensitive enough to while stopping short of noticeable stimulation. I honestly don't want to feel high or like I'm "tweaking out" because that's just as distracting.

But the inability to maintain focus held me back for many, many years as my parents did not believe ADHD was a "thing". I didn't get medicated until I was in my 30s and it has made a world of difference. It's not a panacea and I still have my own tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. But it's more like wearing glasses instead of having to squint for my entire life. Sure, I'd survive without it, but it's a tool to somewhat make up for a biological shortcoming versus the accepted norm.

I wish you luck in your pursuit of self improvement and I hope you discover effective ways to get closer to where you want to be. It's a good thing to explore and learn about for sure.
When a turning vehicle is attempting to turn across any lane (including a bicycle lane), it must yield to the vehicle traveling straight in that lane, whether or not it is a bicycle (and whether or not that bicycle is classified as a 'vehicle' or as having 'all rights and all responsibilities of a vehicle'). This does not vary between jurisdictions in the US.

I hate devops. We used to have a dedicated systems team. Now programmers are expected to both write code and manage their own cloud infrastructure. These are two entirely different skill sets.
To wish pain on someone for such an innocent comment on my end comes off rather bad for you. Just saying. Plus I don't wear over ear headphones, because I do get tension headaches, the newest Airpods however, are in ear and imo have the best active noise cancelling ever produced in a consumer product, so no need for ear cups.
I want to highlight this. I do probably a lot more "prep" than the average HNer is, but it's not out of panic. It's just a cold engineering assessment of costs & benefits. A lot of prep is just moving forward purchases and storing easily stored things, so the real cost is minimal if you have the space anyhow. And not spending all your money is a good plan anyhow; it has been for a long time and will continue to be. Even if you knew 100% the economy is fine and will be fine for the rest of your life, there's still good reason to prepare because you may have problems, health problems, natural disasters, maybe just the desire to take three months off work to prevent burnout, any number of reasons you should try very hard not to live paycheck to paycheck no matter how little you make.

And then, when you are prepared, you can be more calm about a lot more things. Yes, it's possible for the Zombie Apocalypse to hit and make a mockery of all my prep... but because I'm more-or-less ready for more realistic scenarios, I'm also more chill about the possibility of them happening.

And they may not, in which case frankly I won't have wasted many resources anyhow, any more than it's a waste to buy an insurance policy that you never get to collect on.

You seem to imply Amazon is doing something underhanded, like paying off the factory to steal the competitor's design. However, that article doesn't substantiate that at all: all it says is that Amazon cloned their product and are selling it at a lower price, which I don't see a problem with.

When I ran a fairly small team of engineers, I created what I called an "Infrastructure Engineer." I staffed it with a fairly junior, but still brilliant, engineer.

He rapidly became the most popular member of my team.

His job was to commoditize configuration management, and strip away as much of the overhead from the coders, as possible. He didn't do release management, and we didn't really work automatic testing into our release workflow. This was because Japan did not trust auto-testing, so each engineer did their own unit and harness testing. Japan also wanted each engineer to make their own "official" release, as opposed to having a CD system spit it out.

There were reasons. I didn't necessarily find them that compelling, but they were the boss, so I gave them what they wanted.

Japan liked him, as it gave them one single person to talk to, and he also helped them to streamline their own infrastructure. In fact, he is the only employee that I ever had (including myself), that traveled to Japan before being there a year.

For myself, I find using things like Fastlane, JIRA, and Jenkins, aren't actually helpful, for a one-man shop. I tend to do a lot of stuff by hand.

Despite many people's beliefs, yes. Smalltalk can be restarted from scratch. First, the images are paired with a serialization of the source code. If you used nothing else you could restore the source in an image via that, it can also be used to produce diffs for distribution. That's not the best way, but it is a viable way.

The better way is tools like Iceberg and its various predecessors (Iceberg is nice because it works with git which has become the industry standard at this point for version control). There, you select down to the individual method what you want to commit and you can push it to other git repos on services like Github.
This is wild stuff! I would be curious which traces other pandemic pathogens like smallpox and influenza have left on us.

Edit: of course, other diseases probably left their mark on our DNA. But it seems the signal is easiest to detect with diseases that occur in large, sporadic outbreaks that rip through entire populations, thus making overall survival on having protective mutations. Since it is endemic in the Old World since prehistoric times, the changes encouraged by smallpox might be hard to find now. But there are populations in the Americas and Australia who it has been introduced to much more recently...

This could, of course, be an explanation. Except for the _stated fact_ that after they removed the batch import, they were still rejected.
What we do know is that the market thinks the career is risky, charging a substantial risk premium. The market isn't infallible, but tends to be right more often than not.

But that also means that you need not be too alarmed. Even just one year of making the aforementioned $300,000 allows you several years of not working at all before you are making less, on average, than a typical low risk job. As you've already priced in the risk, you'll be fine.

And if the market is wrong then you've gained a nice reward.
Yep, this has been the hardest fight in our "culture shift towards devops" - getting the idea and wording right.

After a lot of discussion, we mostly realized that we get the most value if we define more specific operational roles. We now have the idea of infra-ops, and product-ops. infra-ops is providing a deployment platform - a container runtime and persistences. product-ops on the other hand is responsible for deploying and running the different products from development on this deployment platform.

And this is giving people good ideas. Some products are very simple without harsh requirements. In these cases, one of the backend devs just takes over the product-ops role by setting up a deployment pipeline, a job and some migration handling. Other products are bigger - for example we are providing some of our systems as essentially managed systems to invididual tenants and customers. In such a case, parts of the product operations is with the product team - such as writing jobs, releasing containers and artifacts, and other parts of the product-ops role takes place in the managed services consultancy. These products are currently looking at wordings to split up the product-ops role according to their needs in their context. And that's totally fine - the infra-ops role is also divided depending on the system the engineer is working on. A postgres admin is an infra-operator, for example.

And all of this results in a devops oriented culture of cooperating across team boundaries through automated processes.

Oh course eugenics is trauma and lies.

Could it be that the majority of the 1.7M is for getting the design "approved" and the clones they install elsewhere will be at a fraction of the cost.
Both of these problems are pretty easily overcome.

> it's also nice to be able to re-open your text file in 5 years, when development on the IDE has stopped and it no longer runs on current operating systems

Export the code to normal text, manually translate the images to ASCII or just keep them as Markdown-style links to images.

The cognitive benefit from having actual images in your code will massively outweigh the expected small one-time cost of having to perform a one-time task to migrate them a fraction of the time (and it's more likely that a particular software project will die than an editor that it's written in).

> I have been bitten by lingering obsolete state from re-running cells or code blocks

Make cells explicitly show you what state/inputs they use.

If you're not using purely functional programming languages or design patterns, then having the ability to re-use state will also massively outweigh the occasional transient issues from accidentally doing so.

The upsides of both of these techniques massively outweigh the downsides. Not to say that you have to use them, of course - there are still people trying to implement large software projects using UNIX shell scripts.
It's not like they did it out of spite or greed - both the EUR and GBP have plummeted against the USD over the last year. One area they could look at though is outrageous storage premiums. The price jump between levels is now a joke.

Exactly this and I have suspected for years now there is a huge gut connection. I am not saying it is the only cause (or even the sole cause) but I do believe for a lot of people it is exacerbating the issue significantly. The gut also has tons of opioid receptors and there are some scholars who now consider the spinal cord to be a serious part of the brain - and the spinal cord directly branches out in very large nerves all over the gut.

I personally notice a large positive change in my mental health when my gut is functioning properly and I am eating the right fermented foods. I do not take SSRI's and have not been diagnosed with major depression. I also find it hard to believe that it is a coincidence that as a species we have been eating and making fermented food for so long and so suddenly discontinued its use in a widespread way and are now seeing increases in many types of disease. Although lack of exercise may very well also be a huge contributing factor.

Extremists on Twitter often make calls to violence too. Why do we let Twitter stay online and just ban those individuals instead of kicking Twitter offline?
I tried out cloudflare for the first time yesterday using a personal website. Previously I was just using a domain registrar and setting DNS to digital ocean. cloudflare is a very different/complex beast, but I can imagine that the pretty interface alone brings in customers.

I don't like this hyper-expansion either, but when you have an army of monkeys on typewriters, well, a lot gets "produced".
I have a ubuntu server, I needed an app that is not in the repos, I found a snap of it, it worked great (it is a CLI app), so there are good use cases for this tech, it needs probably more optimizations but hopefully it does not get killed, some competition is good.

Btw I used Arch , when I had time and tinkering with software was still pleasurable( I could do a full dual boot install without any documentation in one hour but this kind of stuff displease me this days)
You hire build engineers and release engineers seperately? Does your product demand that level of specialization for these 2 functions? Just curious

I used to defend snap with the idea that it makes sense for some apps, i.e. "firefox" where updating firefox while its running is bad news.

Except, snap can't update applications while they are running!

i.e. try to do a snap refresh while firefox is running, nothing to update, because its running, quit it wait for all processes to die and then refresh, and it will update and cause you to wait 30-60s while it does it, and then you can restart firefox.

This has to be one of the most idiotic design decision ever made by a containerized application system showing the designers don't understand containerization at all.

one of the primary points of containerization is the ability to have multiple copies of an application running in parallel using different "application images". One should be able to upgrade (i.e. install a new image in parallel to the old one) without disrupting existing execution environments.

Basically all firefox has to do is

1) if a container is running for the current user, execute firefox in its context

2) if no container is running for the current user, create a new container

3) every so often, garbage collect old images that don't have containers running for them.

these concepts are so simple, even docker basically does it!

and that's my rant for the day.

This is something i always felt was lost with what seems to be "commercialization of free software" - software doing things because it was technically possible regardless if that made commercial sense. Nowadays it seems most projects have commercial interests (or even if they don't they act like it) and processes that come against that, often ending up abandoning things because of usage metrics and agendas, as if they have some board of directors to please.
For a sophisticated company, profit is just another number in the ledger.

For example, the news of the fine can allow Amazon to take a charge against the value of goodwill in its books and thereby reduce profits.

Or increase profits by increasing the value of goodwill.
As a long time C++ developer, the modern trend of library package managers has always seemed insane to me. In C and C++ integrating with a dependency is no trifling matter. Beyond just simply making your executables bigger, you're also making the build process more complex, you're locking yourself to an interface, and you probably need to keep special considerations in mind; for example, some libraries need you to call a function when you load them. Therefore, people don't make trivial (i.e. things anyone can do in a few minutes) libraries, and you don't add dependencies unless you really need to.
