> Pods should operate like small startups

This only works if a pod is equal to a domain that's fairly independent of the other domains, technically, and business-wise.

If there are N pods per domain, each being their own startup without additional coordination results in chaos and duplicated work. Business complexity not included (two pods from different domains can unknowingly work against each other due to having conflicting goals/targets).
I'm at the age where the college I went to required us to take JCL, but it was already on its way out. I also took IBM 360 assembly language, which was WAY MORE high-level of a language than I was expecting it to be. Before then, my impression of assembly instruction set were from 6809E and 6502. In comparison, IBM 360 was a dream. But I never worked with it. It was just a class.

The other thing that was interesting is that unlike the rest of our assignments which we could do in the lab, this one we had to send the code to a computer in a different city, which ran the job, and came back with results 4 hours later. You had only 4 runs to get your code to work.

The most interesting about part of this story is that the every next semester after me, the same IBM 360 assembly language class use an IBM 360 emulator that ran on IBM PCs (this is at time of real-mode 640K DOS). So if I had just waited a semester, I could have done my assignments using an emulator on the PC.

BMCs are a lot like the service modules you find in mainframes - it's a small computer that does the job of bringing up the big one step by step, because there are a LOT of different things that need to happen before you are sure you can bring up the very expensive silicon you bought. On mainframes, they even load microcode that's specific to a given machine configuration and the OSs each core is licensed to run.

It's a bit like powering up the external hard disk before turning on your Apple /// (or Lisa)
We have a consistent braces style, so the lines that are removed are rarely those.

A lot of the saves come from `?.` replacing null check chains. Many more from the shorter constructor and field initialization syntax (you can get a bunch of things in one short statement). A bunch more from usage of standard library lambda taking functions (`first`, `single`, etc.). Some more just comes from shorter lines due to less explicit types. These are all more some guesses due to conversions I've seen, and not the result of accurate analysis.

We also use very little Java streams. A combination of Java 8 arriving late to Android code, and the preference to avoid extra allocations and inefficiencies streams can cause for shorter lists.
Commodities can still be expensive and profitable. Yes it is easier than ever for a company to get into cloud computing, but despite the increased competition retail prices are going up the entire sector is making more money than ever.
> Shareholders, who ultimately foot the bill for all those incredibly juicy RSU packages…

How do you figure? Are the investors not making a profit? Or are you saying that the employees are basically stealing investor profits?
Yup. I fear for my 2019 Mac Pro. Five digits of investment, and out of curiosity, I saw that Apple had reduced its trade-in "value" from $3,700 a few months ago to $1,100 now. Rather insulting, since they're still selling the same Mac Pro, and charging $3,000 for the RAM that's in this one alone.
This is partially true. More complex MCUs like STM32F7 and STM32H7 were stockpiled by military as they can be used in missiles and drones. They are still basically unobtanium unless you pay 10-100x to scalpers.

> Late last year, at the peak of the non-fungible token (NFT) craze, I purchased about a dozen highest-rated NFT books on Amazon. I did this because I wanted to publish a balanced critique of NFTs; I figured the most honest approach would to get familiar with the best-articulated arguments put forward by the proponents of this tech.

Its quite clear from the first few lines of the article that the author did not intend to debunk some silly claims but to respond to the best ones. Using a definition of scarcity that does not reference demand to write off NFT's entirely shows that the author has no idea what hes talking about.

> If you want to take the metaphor further, there is really no barrier to entry for starting a cryptocurrency and supply of cryptocurrencies in general far outstrip demand. So it is very similar to a kids doodle.

Yes, but people don't want just any cryptocurrency. They want Bitcoin, ethereum, etc whos demand is greater then the supply. So no its actually similar to a kids doodle.
I think large language models are still in their infancy. The models are extremely sparse, but we don‘t have the tooling yet to deal with these kinds of structures efficiently. Your intuition might be right in a future, maybe.
Stimulus checks did not cause high inflation. It's a relatively small factor. The major impact was supply chain issues, changes in how people chose to spend their money, and two major impacts to oil (people suddenly commuting much less and then starting to again, and Russia).

When searching for product-market fit the last thing you need is changing your tech stack on the fly. Generalist can help you to bootstrap your initial stack if she has a good knowledge of all components, but specialists allow you to focus on what really matters, building foundation of your ops while you experiment.

> So does radically lower the cost matter that much?

It's not about lowering the cost, it's about generating content that fits your specific preferences in real time. Forget on demand streaming of off-the-shelf content, people will want on demand content generation.

And then, as is tradition, the next step after that is giving you content you did not even know you wanted. That can be perverse marketing, feeding you sensationalized stuff that keeps you hooked 24/7¹ but the better alternative is something that is tailored to your general tastes, genres, writing styles, etc. so that you receive the content that is best received by you at that particular moment (matching your mood, your goals, your style)

YubiKey has nice explanation of this [1], it doesn't even store the usernames or anything per service. It just has single symmetric key, from which it derives the stuff.

It works like this (WebAuthn non-resident keys):

1. YubiKey contains symmetric key.

2. When you register to WebAuthn service it generates random private key/public key, encrypts the private key with symmetric key, and sends this as token to server. Along with your username and newly generated public key.

3. When you login to WebAuthn service and type your username you get back the token. YubiKey then decrypts the token to get the private key, and answers to the challenge server gives in public key.

In other words, you don't need to store the public/private keys at all, all you need on the client side (YubiKey) the symmetric key. The private keys are stored on server you login.

For WebAuthn resident keys it needs to store info, more here:

One of the saddest thing about fancy servers is that we, ordinary mortals, never get to lay our hands on one.

You're correct! I used stimulus checks as an umbrella term, but it's not correct. But I meant all the measures that pumped a lot of money into the economy. Here in Italy loans were frozen for 2 years which equals to a much bigger injection.

> Slow to hire, slow to fire is the only sustainable way to run a company.

I disagree. Expanding the range of positives to decrease false negatives does not mean that the goal is "increase developer churn". Many startups seem to be so petrified of hiring the wrong person that they miss out on a lot of people that would be good enough or even great. And being "slow to hire" is not a free option. The constant interviewing is a drain on current resources' time and energy. It's a constant distraction. And the longer you wait for the "perfect" person (who you never find) that's time that you're not getting shit done because you're understaffed. There's a balance, and too many companies are paralyzed with indecision, leading to a default "no hire" if someone isn't perfect. This is just arguing for a reasonable recalibration of standards.

I got a notification (in Santa Cruz) that mentioned a magnitude (4.9), a distance (~30 miles), and that I should expect mild shaking. I saw the notification a few seconds after it arrived, because my phone was making a weird noise, and the shaking started immediately after I read the notification. It was probably the strongest earthquake I have experienced in the ~5 years here, but there were several similar earthquakes every year when I was living in Chile.

If you send notifications for minor earthquakes like this, an estimate of the intensity is mandatory. At least in countries like Chile (and Japan?) where earthquakes are common. Otherwise people will learn to ignore them as false alarms.

Memory's a little fuzzy, but I'd put IAM and workspaces in that category.

IAM, in particular, was a huge undertaking in jamming fine-grained access rights onto existing resources where none such existed before, and it was pretty much marching orders from above: "Potential clients can't migrate off AWS because AWS has this and we don't." And it caused more than its fair share of "Why is this API suddenly throwing errors" tickets from existing users who were accustom to the pre-IAM permissions model.

ETA: Re-reading my initial statement, it was over-broad. There is room in Cloud for bottom-up engineering and product design. However, especially relative to the rest of the company (where Google is an industry leader, not entering a market already heavily dominated by an elephant), Cloud spends a lot of its time chasing "table-stakes" features to enable new customers to be on-boarded who can't subscribe to Cloud because they can't migrate their existing flow off AWS without X Y or Z analogous feature available in GCP.

Ever letting Javascript initiate requests on its own was a mistake, to pick one major blunder.
The "never build another CRUD app" claim is a little too wide of a net. There's no mention of invoking 3rd party APIs here.

The majority of apps aren't just backed by a single source of truth, but aggregating many. That aggregation process can be done offline rather than on-demand in real-time, but you still need a separate ETL process to pull that data.

> What do you mean by smart? A well organized moderately smart person is more productive to a company than a disorganized genius.

Maybe Yes, maybe No, depends entirely on the job function they're in, the assumed style and heaviness of management and how much communication (if any), let alone oversight, they are obligated to have with their peers and subordinates. I have seen people who rarely emerged from their room/cubicle yet consistently produced brilliant code; versus people who looked and sounded amazing in meetings yet didn't deliver. There is definitely such a thing as too much communication, btw, which Elon Musk points out regularly. Have you ever been inside a company that talked and meeting'ed and memo'ed itself to death? I have. Sometimes you need a crew that simply quickly agree a sensible plan, shut up and build the dang thing lightning-fast before the cash runs out and the lights get turned off.

There are organization styles that thrive on lone wolves and ICs and know how to manage them hands-off, and ones that thrive on big-company style corporate 'team players'. There's a place for everyone.

'smart' IME is far less a measure of IQ/EQ and more 'robustly adaptive to whatever arbitrary management structure you try to force on them'.
I suspect at some point we hit the limit of the language performance. I can't imagine JavaScript beating Rust when both are written well.
Can esbuild support esm or umd etc via plugins? I've looked at using it but these formats are an unfortunate requirement for the builds I need to do.

This makes me sad. Thor: Ragnorak was hysterical and probably my favorite Marvel movie so far. Maybe the old adage about the third movie being better than the second will hold true.

I love this. It's great story for people who want to develop in a newer language while having seamless interoperability into older toolchains and ecosystems (eg. TS/JS). If it reaches production quality, that will be a large selling point for Zig IMHO.

To clarify, you are saying that private corporations should be forced to pay for and carry whatever content your favorite political party wants?

Because the evil censorship that you believe the government is forcing does not exist. There is no legislation and there is no planned legislation from any us political party banning content, but there’s a hell of a lot of “conservative” legislation aimed at forcing YouTube etc to host racist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Semitic, and literal nazi content - in other words the exact BS the 1st amendment is meant to prevent the US gov from doing.

Wait I lied, I forgot the GOP has got huge amounts of legislation that tries to ban acknowledging that LGBT folk are human, that slavery happened, that conservative states are to this day doing everything they can to limit which Americans get to vote, etc

Given every time I see you commenting on HN it’s the same bigoted BS, that you then try to pass off as caring about treating things “fairly”, im going to stick with what I thought initially: you’re a bigot, and any time you claim that you are just interested in fairness it’s just another bit of bad faith BS rather than owning up to you being a bigot.

It’s America, and HN has no rules against being a bigot, but I’d rather you just preface your arguments with “I don’t think lgbt people deserve equal rights, I believe that anyone that doesn’t let people use their services to spew forth claims of straight white Christian superiority is is somehow censorship violating the 1st amendment, and I think anything that counters this view is propaganda”

I have been and I am still dealing with intrusive thoughts for the past year. I am still unable to talk about most of them or recall them voluntarily - only the rough circumstances, but not the actual situation(s). For the first months after the event, I was unable to drive a car or a bike because the thoughts come with body reactions: muscle spasms, blurred vision, loss of hearing, etc. It is still somewhat dangerous for me to drive because my hands or feet can suddenly cramp and I am unable to release. Intrusions can happen suddenly and without a trigger. Most of my intrusions now come with no "attached memory" at all, just emotions and very painful body reactions. I am still mostly unable to participate in "ordinary life" because you have a lot of situations where you don't want to have that happen around other people, because their reactions will really not help you "feel safe", which then contributes to retraumatization.

I still have this multiple times, every day, even with 2-3x therapy per week since a year.

This is nothing like "recalling a memory". Also, since I am unable to clearly express what I have witnessed/experienced, talking to "ordinary people" (e.g. most my friends) about it is mostly met with reactions that really don't help at all.

You don’t want to integrate it into the server, because that limits choice. There are a lot of features that you could put into a clipboard manager that not everyone would want, and you don’t want to force everyone to just have the least common denominator of those features.

For example, one commenter pointed out that he uses one that keeps a permanent database of everything he has ever copied. Maybe you want to sync your clipboard between computers, while I just want mine to keep the last 10 clipboards and throw away the rest. (Actually I use Emacs which has it’s own internal kill-ring, so I don’t use a clipboard manager.)
No but $500k PPP loans all over the place probably did affect the economy.
Rebirth, really? This was a nice trip down memory lane, as I love magazines. I'm someone who would much rather have a copy of say, the Guardian's Panama Papers coverage in nice, graphical, glossy form, as opposed to a web link that will throw a newsletter signup form at me before I can even see the article.

But I have not heard on any of the ones mentioned at the end of the article. They sound like limited-time boutique publications, and those have been around forever. My local cannabis store has one such 'publication', and it's 90% ads.

Also, this bit is precisely why magazines died:

>Forbes has shown the lasting value of legacy brands with its lucrative accolades business and franchises like 30 Under 30 that trade on the brand’s legacy of “standing for success.” Time has similarly shown how a legacy brand can be reshaped by focusing on new opportunities like web3 while leaning on lucrative franchises like Person of the Year. Magazines still have heft.

"Forbes" is basically Huffington Post; anybody can contribute to the online version. The print version obviously is different, but also not taken seriously. "Published in Forbes" is the sort of resume line item held by your average Medium.com writer. The "30 under 30" is pay-to-play; it's the previous generation's version of becoming an influencer. Find one person on that list in the past 5 years that amounted to something.

No comment on TIME magazine, the writing there was at an 8th grade level even in the '90s.
