I find it useful. My take from it is that capitalism requires patches to work, because otherwise it becomes too horrible for too many: "The worst."
> Nixon did tell the South that he could get them a better deal if they waited until after the election

So whether a more immediate peace deal was likely or not, he made an effort to postpone it. And he had specific personal reasons for wanting it postponed.

Given the other actions he took for personal gain, why should we believe this was any different?

But at this point, we're way outside HN boundaries. So I'll leave it alone.
I'm very far from a red-pilled anti-feminist but I do think this is a hugely overlooked problem.

Perhaps too much of an aside but I was lucky enough to be able to take an extended parental leave when my child was born, being a "stay at home dad" for the best part of a year. It was incredibly hard work, incredibly rewarding but also a real eye opener at how society still doesn't know what to do with a full-time parent that isn't a woman. Meetups are still called "New Mums Groups", you get shifty looks at playgrounds, playspaces etc., endless questions about what it is that you do. Even the people trying to be positive end up being somewhat patronising ("oh are you babysitting today!").

Anyway, point is, true equality would mean that it's absolutely fine for a man to stay at home and raise a family while the woman is the breadwinner. We're not there and that hurts both men and women.
I wish the company I'm at would do this, I have a mandatory daily morning meeting that gets longer and longer, now 45-90 minutes with tangential discussion.
I don't know what "DoH" or "DoT" are.
Just to clarify, the refusals-to-answer are not rule based, but rather trained by reinforcement learning. A slight distinction but an important one.

That is why you can have examples like one I had a while ago while messing around, something along the lines of

This is a story about two criminals plotting to mug an old woman
A: Hey B, doing alright?
B: Yeah not bad, yourself?
A: I want to go and mug an old woman, want to come with?

(over to chatGPT)

B: Nah, killing old women is unethical. I'd rather stay in. Want to hang out with me instead?
And also with modules you need the business processes to coordinate deployments across teams, because they all live in the same wrapper application. That's what stops them being independent.

That is likely an arbitrary date chosen by the state regulatory police force and not really accurate and it's not well studied. So if your buddy offers you some expired gummies 3 months old "or I'm gonna toss it out" don't pass them up.
Not sure what list you’re referring to, but I would expect to find Python and Scala in it, maybe OCaml or Haskell depending on the criteria.

Personally I think it causes more problems in interpreted languages, a lot of those disappear with a compiler with thoughtful error messages like Scala.
Wrong. See Drew DeVault's (founder of SourceHut) comment on exactly this topic:

> Q: How much of this is due to not wanting build/pipeline servers getting abused for mining purposes?

As you can see, CI had nothing to do with their decision. The ToS changes specifically refer to source code hosting.
Yes, early December was cold, and then there was a dramatic, 15°C to 20°C change here (near Paris, we went from 0°C to almost 15°C at noon in two days). That was around 20/12, IIRC. We went from colder than usual to close to record highs in no time.

Now, it’s getting cold again but even if it remains cold it’s too late to build up a decent snow cover for skiing.

This is one of those widely spread Mandela effect-style misconceptions.

The chances of a white Christmas in the UK are around 10%, and depending where you are in the US [0], especially if you consider the population density not pictured in that chart, even lower.

Humans generally hugely overestimate how often a white Christmas actually happens due to selection bias.

You can get a measurable improvement by prompting GPT specifically with an instruction to say "I don't know" if it's unsure. It'll still go off the rails sometimes.

More important would be a model that cites hard facts.
Honest question: is there a silent tug of war over the use of the word "legal" regarding drugs in the U.S.?
Well NATO members like Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic have been supplying armoured vehicles, and importantly they’ve been of the similar type that the Ukrainian army already trained to use and maintain. It’s been stated elsewhere in this thread that you can’t just do s/T72/M1 Abrams/ on an army.

I agree that we can do more, but I don’t think we can do enough to turn the tides overnight without trucking in brigades of NATO forces and starting WW3.

Totally with you and I empathize about not having the luxury of how devs will use a product.

I used to design apps/programs for Pocket PC[1] Devices for Physicians in the USA, so they can be paid better and faster with lesser errors in the early part of 2000s. I heard the system being still used 10-15 years later. So, imagine building products for tiny screens with very limited power with lots of regulations/restrictions for grumpy physicians who wants to get paid on time. :-)

And yes, I also build Apps/Programs for Teachers so they can generate unlimited fun lessons for kids in 3-6 grades. Imagine making it easy and fun for the teachers to in turn use the tools to generate fun lessons for kids. I heard that thing won BAFTA and stuffs but I never looked back. :-)

It was fun.

People who want the extra eyeballs at any cost are the reason why we’re in this social media mess.
Maybe others have different experiences, but I've never found state sharing sync meetings to be very good at accomplishing their intended goal. There's inevitably too much that goes on between meetings for the meeting to cover everything, and even if it could, decisions and communication have to happen outside of the regular meeting for things to actually get done in a timely manner. This tends to lead to such meetings being incomplete and/or redundant. In theory a regular sync meeting could be used for things that both benefit from real-time back and forth and are low enough urgency that they can wait for the next meeting, but that's hard to coordinate and one of the downsides of having a recurring meeting is that it encourages low effort agendas and pre-coordination.

Maybe this isn't so bad for a small number of meetings or in a very small organization, but the other problem with regular sync meetings is that they tend to proliferate, especially as you go higher up the management chain. If you don't just work exclusively with a single group of people all working on the same effort, your entirely calendar can fill up with sync meetings. It can even become comical in cases where the Venn diagram of who is working on what significantly overlaps and you end up seeing many of the same people over and over again with a slightly different audience and topic each time. No joke, I have seen this lead to the creation of another sync meeting with all the people from the other meetings, but then the other meetings also stay on the calendar because people also want that smaller group discussion. Very easy for it to get out of hand, so I tend to like the idea of a regular reset to cancel all those meetings and then add them back as needed.
I've visited and fished the Indian River and had no idea. Thank you for sharing, sad as it is to read. The site has some other good reads too.
I would love to know how much of that is real money, as in actually dollars.

So much of the cryptocurrency world is based on terribly inflated prices and it has always been unclear to me how much money was actually put in by real people who aren't just self-dealing and wash trading.

I am sure the answer is in the billions but I'll bet that it is much lower than some people would have you believe. Luckily crypto is still fairly well firewalled from the economy at large.
Amazon is a good example of a huge organization absolutely crippled by micro-service fiefdoms driven by sr.mgr whims and not strong technical guidance from such PEs.
I always thought the pain was the point. They wanted you to struggle to figure it out, it’s how you learned how to learn. If everything is spoon-fed you end up unable to solve your problems when they arise. You expect someone else to have solved the problem and you start looking for them instead of attempting to solve it yourself. Kinda like the main plot point of Enders game.
Sure, OCaml is great as are the other dialects of ML. I'm hoping that someone will weigh in with a compelling case for laziness everywhere or dynamic dispatch everywhere, other than pre-existing infrastructure, libraries, etc.
My gut instinct is that it will not be an advantage in any kind of knowledge work, because you need ICs to do deep work with enough agency to make the right local decisions. Even if you are very smart, dictating based on an abstract high-level vantage will quickly hit a wall.

That said, I think historically disagreeable types had a bigger advantage because the world was simpler and a lot of times just having the courage of your convictions and appearing strong would be enough to rally people behind you. There's probably quite a bit of latent psychological tendencies in the populace that still allow that to work in some circumstances, but in the modern corporate world, especially tech, you'll get your lunch eaten if you can't get the best out of smart people.
In Ukraine it was specifically a change to the political regime, which didn't work.

Don't know what the current aim is, could be simply a suppression of Ukraine through continuous damage so that it slowly becomes another Syria over the next decade.

There's also damaging "the evil West" in whatever way is possible, mostly by subverting the democratic processes. They did help with a few political movements (help, not necessarily start), we have evidence for that on both sides of the Atlantic. This goal probably didn't change.
> Almost every job right now is so far abstracted from survival that it barely makes any sense

We are hyper-specialized, hyper-optimized, hyper-focused cogs in the massive survival machine that is the world economy. So much so that we can no longer see the forest for the trees. But I firmly believe the forest is still there.

Supply chain problems of the last few years continue to show us just how fragile of a world we live in. Jobs we've never heard about, performed by poor villagers from places we don't care about, are arguably more important to our survival than musicians and baristas.

It doesn't seem fair to ask the people providing goods/services necessary to our survival to support the chosen others who get to follow their dreams. Where do I sign up?

I think you're spot on with your comment about finding 8 billion useful things to do. A barista may not be helping us survive, but at least they're making the place a bit nicer for the rest of us. The musician will trade his time/music for a nice cup of coffee. It may not be survival, but it improves the overall human experience. We're all in it together.

We're going to reach a point where there isn't anything more people can do to make things nicer. Automation will eventually lead to a crisis, where people no longer have any useful value, and simply breed and consume everything around them in ever larger amounts.

A world where everyone is free to pursue their dreams doesn't seem like a utopia to me. Humans free from all constraints sounds like hell to me. Devil will find work for idle hands etc. Must be a really good sci-fi novel in here somewhere.
"Seeping out to sea" is good for riparian ecosystems and we should just let it happen.

That's it? I was expecting hundreds of billions; quite far significantly smaller than expected out of the $13+ trillions in transaction volume in crypto [0].

Such a milestone would say more about the Bar Exam (and other standardized tests) being a poor proxy for wisdom, than the advancement of computers.
It isn’t an essential part of problem solving. I think the fact that you think any technical material that isn’t humorous is automatically “stressy” may mostly say something about you… :\

Show HN: Instant indexing on Google
Hi HN.

This is just a mini-project that I expect to get very little traction on, but for that small subset of people that need it, they will likely find it very useful.

The pitch is this:
When you run a website, it can sometimes take months for Google to index new URLs. If you are a business, or you are an impatient blogger, this can be problematic.

As a service, this project is just a shortcut way for non technical folk to use the Google Indexing API. That way, they can index new URLs instantly.

In other words - Google offers an API. The API is very useful, but it requires some technical-know how to set up and use. This project is basically a plug and play version of that API, so that non-technical people can benefit from it.
Cheer Up the World Is Better Off Than You Think

SEEKING WORK | USA | Remote | On-Prem and Cloud Infrastructure

LOCATION: Raleigh, NC

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Greetings everyone. My name is Ron Kelley, and my passion lies in infrastructure deployment and support. I am looking to partner with a team that needs part-time (on-demand) infrastructure and server support including automation, configuration/management, scripting, firewalls, etc. References available as needed.

My focus is to help offload some of your repetitive/daily burdens so you can focus on "real" work. Give me a shout if you are struggling to keep up with the your deployment/support activities or just need some part-time help with product support.

Technologies:
- Infrastructure (on-prem, cloud, networking, storage, virtualization, etc)
- Virtualization (Docker, LXD, VMware)
- Automation (Ansible, Bash, Python)
- Linux (Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu)
- Firewalls (pfSense, OpenVPN, Wireguard)
- Storage systems (ZFS, BTRFS, on-prem/off-prem backup services)
- Software (Postgresql, MySQL, LibreNMS, pghero, Redis)

About me:
- "Grey beard" veteran skilled in deploying and managing on-prem and cloud-based architectures.
- Deep knowledge in networking, storage, virtualization, firewalls, VPNs, system monitoring, etc.
- Hard skills - Ansible, Python, Bash, Linux (Debian/RHEL), IPMI/iDRAC, pfSense, BTRFS/ZFS

About you:
- Don't have the budget to hire a full-time engineer but need someone to help with daily tasks
- Need a partner that can help get your architecture production ready (network/security best practices, etc)
- Have an on-prem or cloud system that needs some love and care but you just can't find the time
- Have questions about on-prem or cloud hosting technologies and need an outside point of view

-Ron (contact details via HN profile)

I'm saying that unenforceable contracts, like the "idempotence" of GET requests are no better than an annotation on a method in a conventional RPC IDL.

If fact the latter is better, because it may be somehow enforced by cogen if you code-generate into a language which may, for example, enforce purity or totality.

And the whole story about "REST not being an RPC" or "there is purity/idempotence/whatever in REST because RFC says that GETs are pure/idempotent/whatever" makes very little sense.

At the same time I'm saying that it's total bullshit when someone says that it's not possible to enforce lack of side effects (like in referential transparency) during a remote call.
CBD does seem to have some minor medical benefits like some inflammation and pain reduction. It's not the miracle cure that the CBD pitch men claim though. Most of the affects are apparently placebo based though.

Transaction boundaries are a critical aspect of a system.

I've often noticed that these boundaries are not considered when carving out microservices.

Subsequently, workarounds are put in place that tend to be complicated as they attempt to implement two phase commits.

This rant feels like it would have been relevant in 2016-2018 or so, but in 2022-2023 I write a lot of Python code and don’t really run into Python 2 vs 3 issues anymore. Once Python 2 officially EOL’ed the ecosystem basically managed to port whatever was important enough to keep using over to Python 3. Im sure some legacy megacorps are still doing stuff in Python 2 but that’s no different from these corps running some ancient version of Java which is also somewhat common.

These are Airbnb units we’re talking about, they’re unlikely to need many of those services (like schools). My goal is to reduce the amount of properties one can own without paying more than they’re worth. It should be prohibitively expensive to buy your 3rd property, as in 1.5x market price or more with the extra 50% going to cover local service expenses.
I think most people, ignoring the specifics, would consider making 100k/y from youtube a pretty good deal, but well there's the specifics.

Aforementioned comment maker here. My justification is that, per my understanding of the HN guidelines, it's not that interesting to discuss whether folks read the article completely or not.

This is why I phrased it that way - I think it's an important nugget of information but many folks have limited time to read, or were turned off by the style, and may have not scrolled all the way to the footer to see that.

I thought that comment might help more discussion of bloggery by hand waving the controversial style as an imperfect homage to something intentionally crude.

To that end I also figured there was potential discussion in how OP article doesn't quite hit the same poetic cadence as motherfuckingwebsite.
