Thankfully there are also other drugs being researched for people who cannot tolerate some drugs well - I believe they are looking at Fascoracetam in Japan for children.

I also do really believe we should be meditating more or something similar - when I try to read a novel these days (even one I am interested in) I find it is significantly more difficult to do it than it was when I was much younger and had generally lower reading comprehension.

There're a great post on OCaml Discuss with many engineers chiming in about their favorite libraries and why. (https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/top-5-favorite-ocaml-libraries/1...)
Having a wildly successful city economy and becoming poorly managed is a causal relationship I think.

In regular cities you simply can’t afford to be wasteful. But San Francisco and Seattle have endless streams of easy money to burn.

It’s sort of like the oil curse. The governments of gulf states can afford to be uniquely terrible, in ways other governments cannot.
Now that you meant it - yes, quite so :)
I will extend this analogy to say I am a race car mechanic but I'm having to pick up how the driver drives the car in order to make the car perform better, with the eventual goal of being able to drive the car myself (ops -> devops -> dev) so I can do any of the above roles.

Software devs who close their mind to the lower parts of the stack give me the opportunity to learn and do their jobs as well, becoming a more valuable employee as a result.
I’ve been using EndeavourOS lately. It’s less of a distinct distro and more a really convenient Arch installer to get to a usable system quickly. And without all the extra BS of Manjaro — once you’ve installed it, you’re basically just running Arch. It installs packages directly from Arch, etc.
The place I work (CTO for now, looking for opportunities pretty soon) can sustain nearly 400 RPS through a Rails app on a single Performance-L Heroku dyno without a sweat (though we run two min), but it's the tip of the iceberg. The infra to support those web servers is way more than that. Aurora Postgres x 3 for now, a large ES cluster, 2x redis clusters, memcached etc.

Bear in mind that we had I think 6 apps. Basecamp 1, 2 and 3 (all separate infra), Highrise, Campfire, some other internal stuff. Our ES cluster was pretty damn big, redis and memcached too. Juniper, F5, network switches (rack infra) etc. Storage was pretty big, quite a few 4u servers with spinning rust. The blade servers were I think 6 blades in 2u.

Everything was redundant, everything had 2x or more. I honestly can't remember how many racks we had. "More than 10" is my hand-wavey guess.

I don't think DHH was being disingenuous with his "2k on 30 servers" message, it was likely more about the scalability of Rails rather than the infra required to run the app.

Interesting, you only cover the options that exist in the current paradigm around a advanced economy where there are plenty of individual options that you are right most people don't explore.
The weakness from my perspective in your argument is that the current economic structure you are describing and which we are living in, is by its very nature exploitative. It has deep historical roots in destroying any other means of sustenance beyond what the system controlled. Cultivatable land was stolen, captured and monopolized at the expense of those relying on those sytems. Means of sustenance have been continually destroyed or over exploited such as the buffalo in the States, the swamps drained and turned to farmland everywhere, seasonal water sources captured and guarded everywhere, jungles burned or cut down through out Asia and South America. This direct exploitation of communal resources by groups of people against other groups of for economic gain and control has forced people who did choose a different form of life is directly exploitative. This led to Nomads everywhere given "incentives" everywhere to settle down and become part of the larger economic system and culture, native american boarding houses in both US and CA that led to the mass deaths of thousands of Native children. This has led to loss of culture, languages, and peoples all over the world. When the larger system doesn't approve the smaller systems disappear.
Yes we have options in the current economic system but we have no options outside of it.

Whisper is a game changer in terms of accuracy. It makes Zoom, YouTube, Zoom, Office/Azure, Descript, and Otter.ai transcription look like jokes in comparison.

SQLite needs this, because changing column types is such a pain in the ass. The answer to "I want to move from INT primary keys to TEXT/UUID, how do I change the column type?" is "just insert the data into the column because SQLite allows everything".

And the reason changing column types is so hard is because, uh, SQLite stores its schema as human readable plaintext (easier to keep compatibility between versions) and not normalized tables like other databases.

The regular as clockwork bi-yearly releases are one of the best things about Ubuntu. Ubuntu is the default supported Linux laptop/desktop env in so many tech orgs.

If you use Ubuntu and want to help ensure it works for your env remember to test the upcoming release alphas / betas eg with USB boot stick and file bugs on Launchpad if you notice something broken.

(Same goes for other distros your org may use, eg Debian, Fedora etc)

Snaps mostly work great, and are a great improvement for keepign up to date sw available for people using LTS releases. This and the security improvements brought by the sandboxing greatly overshadow the sometime teething problems of the system.

>common enough to dedicate significant resources to try to build inhouse.

Basically. Especially relevant for the ballpoint pen anecdote which wasn't about how hard it was to make ball point tips, but some products were not economically worth pursuing over existing off the shelf solutions, but STILL important to develop indigenously due to gaining knowledge/capabilities that knockon/support ther strategic / critical sectors. The TLDR is Premier LiKeQiang politicized importance of precision manufacturing for national security, using rough PRC ball-point tips quality as example, and 2 years later PRC industry developed tungsten carbide manufacturing capabilities for advanced munitions. There was no economically sensible reason for domestic ballpoint tip manufacturing, the entire market dominated by Japanese and Swiss was only worth 20M. Zero rationale for Chinese industry to coordinate tons of resources for this project outside of national security.

An related apocryphal annedote I read was the steel for tips made in JP/CHE were made in small batches (because tips are tiny), ditto with early half assed PRC efforts. But for ball point pen project, a state steelwork (high volume, billion dollar operation) had to stop the lines to make an industrial sized batch with correct metallurgy at a financial loss. 100+ billion of domestic PRC ballpoint tips made in the past 5 years have barely chipped away at that batch.
I don't see where they say they removed batch import? Just that they removed caching. I don't think they're using the default contact picker?

> WTF is the difference between an "in-house cloud" and a shared-use datacenter from the 1990's?

An in-house cloud sounds like the mainframe installed in the raised floor computer room at the school district office I worked at in the late 90s; of course, the 12 foot long Unisys mainframe was replaced with a Unisys 4U pentium pro box pretending to be a mainframe, and then there was a lot of extra floor space.

If you're running your own 'cloud' in a (shared) colo, I dunno that that's really in-house. I guess it's still 'private cloud' though.

Does “development” refer to something in my comment or something else? (Neither my comment nor the original post refer to “Development”.)
The real solution to the public defecation crisis is either unlocking bathrooms at night or more “single” use plastic bags. Anyone knows dog parks have less shit around when there are bags readily available, but somehow they haven’t connected that to the city in general. It used to be you could pretty reliably find a good clean plastic bag in any trash can. Not so anymore.

Problem is anyone proposing this in government would be cancelled for disgracing the homeless or some shit (I’m homeless, I get a free pass). The absolute worst part of the homeless experience is being in a city during the hours when bathrooms are locked and desperately needing to use one. Not proud of the things I’ve done in times of such calamity.

At least SF has people freely shooting up on the streets, so perhaps they won’t feel as compelled to prevent them from using bathrooms for the same? Anyone know if SF bathrooms get locked?

One example is global cross-repo search. When looking for substrings on KDE or GNOME's Gitlab, I often want to use the global search bar, but there is no free full-text search across all repositories hosted there, and I have to rely on code search tools external from the code hosting site's UI, like KDE's https://lxr.kde.org/.
Driving in the rain in places that don’t usually have rain is a completely different ballgame.
Funny you make broad sweeping conclusions based on your single experience.

Could also just be you have a mild form of ADHD and you do not need medication at all and Physics and similar is the thing you like to hyper focus on. For some people the ADHD is a huge gift if the thing their brain happens to want to latch onto is also something they enjoy and/or can make a career out of.

Also do we really want to be shifting blame onto teachers at this point? They are overworked and already taking enough shit from parents as it is. And the ones I know and have talked to are constantly finding new and creative ways to get kids interested in their teaching
That's right, I should go to work and browse and comment on HN there instead.
Startups have to show growth and/or revenue. They dump most of their funding into advertising. Many are spending more than the lifetime value of their customers (if that can even be calculated at their stage at all).

Interest rates go up -> VC Money goes down -> Advertising budgets go down

Online advertising is "theoretically" better than other advertising. You can track exactly how it converts to sales or not. It is still the best way to advertise in my opinion so will beat out any other method for sure.
You already know the comments on this posts, but that's for a reason, Tailscale is that good people won't shut up about it.

Wait, "it takes two" implies some consent of both parties. If someone is accosted we don't say they--as a victim--share half the fault. Does trying to hire a bodyguard because of your aggressive neighbor somehow make your neighbor's trespassing and destruction justified?

Remember NATO is a defense alliance which must be invited in. And afterward doesn't grant the new inductee any power to threaten other sovereign states.

Said another way, does Putin having nukes constitute a blank check to annex neighbors?
Because the two-party system limits choice to voters and polarizes camps.

A democrat could have genuinely good policy that would make an enormous difference for a lot of republican voters. But stances on social issues like gay marriage, gun control, etc, will make them unviable as a candidate. If they switch and support these issues, then they'll lose their primary.
Talking to customers and building what they want is a focus to build the product in the right direction. The question is what should be the focus for traction at an early stage to double down on?

For example, in the early days companies like Digital Ocean, and Twilio have all spend their massive energy doubling down on the content they produced whereas companies like Supabase, and Spinnaker have taken a community approach.

We are at a stage where we are not yet sure what's best suited to focus on and spend our major time and energy.
“Trace their roots” seems too strong a claim to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthritis#History: Evidence of osteoarthritis and potentially inflammatory arthritis has been discovered in dinosaurs. The first known traces of human arthritis date back as far as 4500 BC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_diabetes: The condition known today as diabetes (usually referring to diabetes mellitus) is thought to have been described in the Ebers Papyrus (c. 1550 BC). Ayurvedic physicians (5th/6th century BC) first noted the sweet taste of diabetic urine, and called the condition madhumeha ("honey urine")

And of course, the article (“Evolution of immune genes is associated with the Black Death”) doesn’t say it, either, just saying that it selected for a more active immune system, increasing the risk that it becomes too active.

Makes sense, too, as they wouldn’t have been able to find many genes associated with these diseases if they mutated during the bubonic plague.
Literally from the first line of the article you linked:

> Lyft has signed up to pay cloud market leader Amazon Web Services at least $80 million per year for the next three years, totaling at least $300 million.

You can launch a massive project, hire dozens of people, buy server and colo space across the globe, rebuild their infra from scratch, and get costs down to – what – $60 million a year? Lyft is closing in on $4 billion in annual revenue. A few million in savings is meaningless, especially when balanced with the massive risks of such a project.
I can't find any information about MercadoLibre in the page. The guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ask to use the original title.

If your competitor is 100% free, how are you how are you expecting to make a profit to pay for the servers and developers?

Also, we use the MercadoLibre app a lot, and we notices a lot of small changes, specially in 2020 to deal with the pandemic, but also many small changes later.
Absolutely the same here. WhatsApp is a nightmare to use without contacts, but I don't care, they are not having my contacts.

Certainly not in England. The shire Tories will block wind turbines and new housing to keep the value of their Surrey pile going up, while the progressives live in major cities and have everything built in their backyards.
What makes you interpret it as a risk premium? My sense is it's mostly driven by demand growing ahead of supply, and barriers existing to the supply expanding (which is partly because of the value of experience, which takes time to build). I.e. I'd say it's a scarcity thing more than a risk thing.

For some reason, you keep presenting arguments as if I have taken any sides.
I don't agree with arguments even if I would agree with the end result.

I disagree that comparing Copilot with Pirate Bay is a good argument to make your case (maybe Dall-e is a closer comparison if resulting artwork could contain licensed artwork from the training set). You'd probably have other fronts to use and present a stronger argument.

And let me remind you that I have not argumented on behalf of any side, so I do not think this thread requires arguments against arguments I have never brought forward (it feels a bit more emotional than constructive).
glad someone said it. I mean all the CI/CD pipeline are just in the old day *nix/bsd days bash/perl/awk/sed/python/ruby (fill in the blank) scripts. One problem when IT/Software development become more main stream is that everything got another layer of obfuscation especially in corporate cultures and amongst sales and recruiters and managements. Development Operation or pipeline sounds sooo much better bash scripts.

Thank you. While that makes sense, it still blows my mind... These things are absolute marvels of engineering and really push the laws of physics. Next to 255A of current, these things can almost reach 6GHz frequency. Just incredible.
Part of why I am fed up with this industry is that I no longer know what my role is. It seems that I have to:

* Develop new features

* Fix bugs

* Sit in standup, "alignment" meetings, and any meeting created by a Zoom-promiscuous engineer (let's hop on a call!)

* Reply to dozens of Slack messages per day

* Write documentation

* Develop and maintain the CI/CD pipeline

* Be an expert on Observability (aka Debugging in Production)

* Have Galaxy Brain level knowledge on the entire cloud setup in all environments

And now I am thinking, if being an engineer involves all that, why not just find a gig with pure DevOps and not worry about product development?
In my experience it was the opposite - there were almost no kids labeled ADHD. Where did you live that everyone was labelled ADHD?

Most people blamed the behaviour of difficult children on their difficult parents.

That being said there are a lot of people who are purposely seeking ADHD meds who know they are not ADHD just to get drugs. Those people are kind of ruining it for everyone else. They are usually pretty easy to spot though
> the 7900/7900X are dual chiplet design

This is a minor terminology mix-up. The term you want here is "CCX". Each CCX holds multiple chiplets.

See https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ccx-definition-cpu-... for more details.

EDIT: It does look like my own information on this was rusty.

A "chiplet" is not an individual core, but a trimmed down die that does not have a memory controller. A "CCX" contains cores (within a chiplet) and L3 cache.

https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amd-ccd-and-ccx-in-ryzen-proce...

> The basic unit of a Ryzen processor is a CCX or Core Complex, a quad-core/octa-core CPU chiplet with a shared L3 cache.
> DevOps has different meaning depending on who you’re talking to, even some definitions that appear similar are different in nuanced but important ways.
