If against an opponent with a functional military-industrial base, I'd want to be neither.

I feel like the next major war will be swarms of Slaughterbots[1] but with thousands of anti-materiel drones, as well as the hundreds of thousands of anti-personnel ones.

If you can't achieve a near-hermetic control of the airspace, anything outside, and much inside is minutes from bring speared by jets of molten metal.

And even then, the cost of intercepting them is far higher then the cost of sending multiples until the anti-drone ammunition runs out (and meanwhile any electronic warfare emitter is being hammered by radiation-seeking weapons).

Sometimes. But most .NET devs don't even know what a binding redirect is. They will also break on a regular basis when packages are updated.

Edit: The bindings that is. Maybe the devs too.
This whole thread was a great example of how internet forum debates go off the rails. No true scotsman can fit through the eye of needle carrying a coconut.
So they can be socialized by their unsocialized peers? That’s a profoundly unnatural and destructive thing to do. Human children are supposed to be raised in mixed-age setting where they can learn from older children and young adults, under the supervision of not only parents and teachers but a spectrum of adults of different ages.

At least in the recent past Americans had large families and civic organizations like churches to expose children to normal social structures. Today we are losing even those, and age-segregated schooling is the dominant mode of socialization for children.
Fair point. I think as a senior dev (and someone in their mid-40s with a longish career) I want to make a point that I still ask the type of question. But a good thing to be sensitive to.
I’m not OP but the concept kind of sounds like how Valve (the company who makes Steam) is modeled.
> Well - artificially inducing a recession to make people poorer so they can’t afford to buy things as a way of reducing shipping container rates and backlogs is a pretty ass backwards way to run a society.

The fed isn't doing this because they want cheaper shit from china. They're doing it to keep inflation under control. A result of making money more expensive is lower shipping container rates, but that's not the primary goal. Do you have any better ideas for stopping inflation?
More often than not, the part-time HR is just plain bad and unreliable. Every small company I've worked for has had payroll and benefits issues. I've seen everything from late paychecks to benefits getting terminated because someone forgot to do something. Also, there's always on-boarding problems. At larger companies, this rarely happens because they have actual HR professionals.

FTX should never been in this position. They are an exchange. Nobody should be able to obliterate them by playing around with their crypto.
So long as the safety nets don't prolong or worsen the recovery. Moving people out of the labor pool shrinks the economy for everyone - making it worse off for people with and without jobs. Bad policy can turn slumps into prolonged recessions.
The data may be publicly available, but GDPR still applies, AFIAK. https://www.technologylawdispatch.com/2019/04/privacy-data-p...

"The main takeaway is for companies that process personal data gathered from public sources to tread carefully. Be mindful of your GDPR article 14 notification obligations. Be sure you document your processing decisions, particularly if you decide not to inform affected individuals how you process their personal data. And most importantly, be prepared for regulatory scrutiny and engagement."
That does not contradict my statement.
I wish the font could be reduced - it's too large and not adjustable. Otherwise, i love it.
...yeah. That's literally the most popular slogan from the start.

"Don't trust. Verify."
My takeaway is that cryptocurrencies will continue to exist like the BitTorrent protocol remains used even when Netflix, and all exist.
Oh yeah you're right there. It's not all hard engineering, that's for sure. But, that is also the org where a lot of those folks live.

and I just mean - very talented people building hard things: WiSE (lot of crap mixed in there too), operating system people, some hardware people. Smart engineers with 5-25+ years of experience and special knowledge.
Not saying it is a fix, but unemployment insurance is there too.
Upgrades are honestly really easy, and have been since around .NET Core 2.
I have now done 2 -> 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 3 -> 3.1 -> 5 -> 6 with very little friction at all, in a fairly big web API codebase.

I don't foresee any issues going from 6 -> 7. 5 -> 6 was essentially just a find and replace on TargetFramework and it all just worked.
Advertisements. The plant is printing political advertisements in a newspaper-like format.

How interesting that an article about misleading usage of printing presses has a misleading headline.
What country is that, if you don't mind sharing? It's the first time I hear this
This does make me wonder what constitutes a fake newspaper. These are deceitful because we expect paper of that size and quality, and with that design, to come from a paper that has been around for decades. So certainly they are fake established newspapers, or fake reputable newspapers.
Do you know that's what they were thinking though? Lots of mistrust can build up when we don't regularly check our assumptions.
Interesting position. I think of resources simply as inputs needed to make a product. You might need electricity, material, or labor.

The company doesn't control the worker anymore than they control the supplier of their electricity or materials.

If you have sold your time and labor to accompany it is their resource until you decide to stop supplying it.

I don't think anyone on either side is under the misconception that the police will hunt down Rogue workers. Who is concerned about this confusion and why?

There are lots of resources that are difficult to obtain more of and or replace. On the other hand, I don't think calling workers people instead of resources does anything to address a belief that they are fungible, if in fact they are not.
I see you include medication as a pseudoscience too. Or is replicability not actually the measure?
The feedback given was what a therapist might give, or even just what a self-help book might tell you. I don't see it as judging, I see it as stripping away rationalisations.
> I never did get used to running make on my config files.

I worked in a very Make oriented place. If you need to do any processing on files, which not only includes compiling them, but also pushing them to other servers, and loading them into memory on those servers, that should be done with Make. Because Make makes things :)

Now I'd rather write a Makefile than use whatever language's builder of the week. Make can make things, why do I need anything else?
For our purposes (and most businesses), those are marginal improvements. And there's absolutely no way the very significant risks involved with handling cryptocurrency are worth it to us.
I agree and would like to emphasize the word "validation".

It is less about "solving a problem" and more about "figuring out how to feel about the problem".

Validation can help reduce emotional turmoil, distill it into a calmer set of feelings.

The feelings may still be strong. The situation may still suck.

But at least you can be sure of how much it sucks - because someone else you respect, see's it as valid too.
Alternate headline... "56% of Americans are dillusional"
Ask HN: Are you still using conventional commits? If not why not?
I remember conventional commits being really popular a few years ago (eg angular). These days I don’t see it as often. I’m curious if people stopped using it or if it just never took off?

Thank Goodness the Times and the Post don’t engage in anything like that.
The coins have failed at the moment because prices have crashed. No one was complaining about coins failing when prices were soaring.
The image preceding the article depicts an item of printed material that, as shown in the bottom right corner, refers to itself as a "newspaper".
Maybe it will get resolved in their monolithic mobile CPUs, then carried over to the next generation. It's like how Zen 4's IO die was ported from Ryzen Mobile 6000 (which also made it easier for them to toss in integrated graphics). DRAM efficiency is an obvious target for improvement too.
I always thought that Scouts was the one bright spot in youth upbringing, where kids from 10-18 had to socialize, listen to one another and plan mutual outings.
Yeah absolutely and some of the most senior engineers I have worked with often made a point of asking seemingly obvious questions, to great effect. I think it’s a wonderful thing to demonstrate and I do the same.
Also AOC, MLK, FDR, and JFK!
My take-away was another argument for imposed interoperability. More
power to that.

But this closing paragraph struck me as a frustration the author
really wanted to get out there, and it has some punch;

"Stalin failed to create Soviet Science by applying Marxist
dialectic (a flawed approach to epistemic construction), even
though he tried hard. Science was too robust to be dialecticized,
because scientists were better served by the non-dialectic system."

Maybe, one day we will look back at these barren years of "social
media" and say "Zuckerberg and Musk failed to build the Soviet
Internet because people were better served by the non-dialectic
system". Whatever this "non-dialectic system" is that emerges, we must
still ask, "at what cost?"
This is true. Don't know why people are down voting you. But it calls into question why we need centralized exchanges of decentralized assets. The answer, of course, is financial speculation and sophisticated shell games that make some folks billionaires at the cost of the marks who get suckered into believing they're getting in the ground floor of the next big thing.
When I was in my early teens I had a short period (after reading "The Mysterious Island") when I got really interested in chemistry. This kinda ended quickly and abruptly after I synthesised some nitroglycerin and actually after I tested it around our house. Fun times. Some stuff probably still orbiting Earth and I had to lie a lot to explain all the shattered glass. My parents never figured out what I did but that was the end of my lab. (Make note to screen my kid's purchases for any nitrogen compounds...)
Yeah. There's a real effect where the VCs decide a bodega is a tech company, puts it through hypergrowth based on incredible projections, hires 5000 people, looks around and says "oh my god, there's no way this business can support an organization of this size, it's just a bodega chain!"

The problem is by then it's too late. You now have systems, architecture and processes designed to be an empire, and you can't staff it like an SMB anymore.
I know, but I'm not interested enough to pay money.
When was that, exactly?
This is absolutely bullshit.
This take is so strange to me that I'm having trouble groking it. I agree it implies some level of control. I also think that some level of control exists as long as workers are selling their time and labor. Calling in my resource doesn't negate the fact that they could walk away. That would simply be your source of resources drying up
Thank you for the interest. As you can see, it does record the url of the closed tab, but there is no way it can link back to the person. Anybody who installs the extension is just an ID to the system. The reason we decided to record the closed URLs is for analysis. Because we plan to launch a feature where AI is able to let you know of possible unsafe tabs in the future. We still don't have anyway to link this activity to the user itself because we don't have their details. I hope it makes sense.
Selecton bias to scare up some last minute votes
Hard agree. While Binance prompted the downfall, FTX created all the conditions for it by playing fast and loose with its clients' money.
Yeah that doesn't work with things as hugely hyped as the cloud, agile, etc. Obviously it's a cult and it doesn't solve anything in and of itself, but you're not allowed to say that.

Rather, I'd go for:

"Let's solve this problem we've been having with Azure Cloud Functions!"

"Of the top five things that we are trying to build, let's build them with Agile!"

Otherwise, you are not a team player, part of the problem not the solution, etc. It sucks, but that's politics.
I wonder what percentage of Americans don’t know how to spell “delusional.”
It's one centralized entity acquiring another centralized entity, so it's more like the centralized brokers of crypto just became more centralized.
Given the ease of entry for other STEM disciplines, it is evident to see how Amateur Chemistry can easily be seen as having a high barrier of entry. Not only do you need to sought the chemical reagents and equipments, you also need a mentor or a supervisor to ensure that the experiments are conducted in a safe manner.

Another thing I've noticed while growing up in India is that being a chemist in the 21st is no longer deemed a desirable nor profitable career pathway, compared to being a developer. I'm not sure if such sentiment carries in the rest of the world.
Another good example is that sinusoids are eigenfunction of a linear dynamical system. If you drive the system with a sinusoid, the output is also a sinusoid of the same frequency, but different amplitude and phase. In other words, the frequency response is the eigenvalue at a given frequency.
“40% replicability” of a field doesn’t distinguish between “4 100% replicable studies + 6 0% replicable studies” and “10 40% replicable studies”, full-stops notwithstanding.
Curious, what do you do? I would think that you could only go on disability if you had a job that required you to walk around, which I think would be a small minority of HN commenters.
My favorite thing he’s doing right now is suing GitHub/Microsoft for blatantly violating almost all the licenses on their hosted code for GPT.

I’m also an enormous fan of his book, Beautiful Racket. It’s what set me off on the path of being a self-identified Scheme programmer.
Blind: Meta's office to be closed on Wed – 15% layoff (5% Eng 50% recruiting)
I wonder if some other country might be different? Brasil?

IIRC, countries with major resource extraction industries, internationally outsourced for lack of domestic expertise, with associated lost value capture, are more highly incentivized to increase STEM graduates. Unlike the US, where the research I recall, said there's no shortage outside of programming (and PhD flexibility). And indeed without programming, there'd be a large oversupply.

In addition to WoD and WoT and consumer product safety, there's also liability, and insurance, and others. I've been struck by increasing societal viscosity these last decades, and a seemingly increasing intolerance of risk and harm.

So perhaps some other country, with different internals and context, might be a ready market for 1960's US chemistry sets?

Scientists Tap into Biology’s ‘Mirror Dimension’ to Create Ultra-Strong Syntheti
Giving typical males with low testosterone supplemental same-sex hormones is not even settled medicine, so it seems quite unlikely that giving cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers would be at all settled as that has not been done at scale for nearly the same length of time. For years studies have been going back and forth about whether the benefits of exogenous testosterone outweigh the risks for biological men with low T. Exogenous T also very commonly permanently destroys a man’s natural T and sperm production. Many endocrinologists will straight up refuse to give it to get a man to get them within normal levels and they have to resort to those shady “men’s health” clinics. I’m less familiar with the issues, but giving postmenopausal women estrogen has many issues as well, one of them I have unfortunately seen in action is the potential to accelerate nascent breast cancer. Even if puberty blockers don’t have the effects they’re said to(bone and other physical development issues, possible destruction of sexual function and the ability to orgasm in the future) they haven’t been studied long enough for my taste. Even if huge benefits can be shown for certain transgender individuals, there’s still the issue of how to determine which individuals will continue wanting to live as a trans person long term. As these interventions are made widely accessible you can bet that there will be significant numbers of people that regret their decision, but in many cases the effects of medical intervention will be partially or fully irreversible. Imagine how many people may have such regrets if this is done at scale without long and careful study.

> Why do you think that background wasn't an important part of her nomination, and only her trans status?

Because Biden has unabashedly doubled down on intersectional identity politics. For example for the supreme court justice and his VP pick he explicitly said he would pick black females.
Just clone something that already exists. I did that all my life, still doing it. Try to clone a product with at least 20 fairly large players in the field. Make it slightly different and you might generate some income.
Don't try to be the new Über or Facebook. Try that when your clones are successful.
An example product which for sure can generate income is a dream station like product using stable diffusion. I am not gonna make it, but I am convinced that if you create a simple prototype you can easily make a few k per month.

Buying MDMA safely. This isn't a joke. Drug prohibition causes harm, crypto provides a much safer way to obtain psychedelics. If all your purchases are safe for the state to be aware of, good for you.
Yeah but the US can destroy you diplomatically, militarily, and economically if you try anything funny.
Also if they don't actively defend them, the advantage won't last much; a few wooden boards placed vertically around a small area and a single truck pouring rocks and concrete over it can build a small bridge that would dry in a few days, unless the Ukrainians already have moveable tank capable bridges.
VA / Disability rating is tied to injuries suffered during service.

If the VA can "successfully" (by their own undisclosed metrics) "cure" the ailment then you can lose a % of your disability rating. The VA is constantly reviewing and attempting to remove ratings all the time. It's a ducked system and no one really cares. American veterans are demonized and mocked by more than half the population. There are 44 Veteran suicides every day.

https://www.va.gov/disability/about-disability-ratings/
Rest assured that my tone is extremely polite. As such, I fail to see the relevance of your comment.
Not really; indeed, my point is that body metrics are surprisingly difficult to model given the wide variances.

You could probably get closer to an accurate model by identifying the fixed weight of an adult's skin/bones/organs. Going from critically emaciated to fit would mostly entail adding muscle, which is denser than fat.

From there, the proportion of added muscle v. added fat when increasing waist circumference would be the deciding factor in accurately estimating weight; that proportion is highly dependent on the individual and one's level of daily activity.

Commercial printing company prints what its customers request without passing judgement on the contents is what I'd hope for from a commercial printing company.

Thinking about that particular blue check process is kind of funny.

I think the main reason to undertake the serverless route should be OPEX savings. We expect the serverless infrastructure to cost less than the current Azure App Services/ VMs set up.

Here are questions to ask

What is the current monthly spend? What is the estimated monthly spend in the new system?

Perhaps the new serverless system is easier for operations and deployments.
Does the new system provide for better uptime/monitoring? How is monitoring done on the current system? If there is a problem, like the service returning 500s, do you have the tooling to diagnose the issue? How does this change in the new system?

What is the developer experience on the new system? Is it easy to deploy to staging and production environments? How long does it take to create a new feature? What does the develop/test/debug loop look like in this system? How does this compare to the current system?

Ask yourself and others these type of questions. Maybe migrating to serverless is better, but it should depend on the answers to questions/concerns that I listed above.
