Skimming the Preventative Maintenance comics just a little made me realize that our military heavy machinery is incredibly terribly badly designed. Like it's blindingly obvious from these manuals that these machines have been designed to funnel money from the military to the "industrial complex"! ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_co... for those too young to have heard it yet. https://xkcd.com/1053/ )

These comics read like satire (or is it parody?) E.g. Page 3 of https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/Portals/74/PDFs/Archive%20Nu... titled: "M119A2 Howitzers... Stow Before You Go"

> Your M119A2 howitzer’s M137A2 panoramic telescope doesn’t travel well. If you leave it installed during travel, the telescope won’t be working for long.

> Stow the M137A2 for travel. If it’s installed, vibration damages both the telescope and the M187A1 mount.

> Install the canvas fire control telescope mount cover, NSN 1240-00-819-4527, before you tow. That protects the M187A1 mount from debris.

> After you remove the M137A2, install the plastic quick-release protective cover, NSN 5340-01-042-1330. Without the cover, the quick-release handles can loosen and fall off.

Basically, the thing is junk, and has lots of ways to break such that you need to replace (no doubt expensive) subsystems regularly.

Would you want to fight a war with a howitzer like this?
Even with the same size breakers you have to be careful. Many circuits in the US are wired using a shared neutral. These circuits must not share the same phase and when rewiring an entire panel this seems like it'd be an easy mistake to make.

Lucky you, that you haven't been hit by the purists.

I am currently getting a hard intro into a microservice first architecture. Where customers are managed in one service, users are managed in a different one, user operations are in a third one. All have their own databases and much of the data is copied between them. There are microservices, that are used by only one other microservice.

That's where we are now - arguing about the validity of "microservices are the best/first" approach.

Microservices are defined as self contained, highly granular, separately developed and deployed horizontally scalable systems.

Think about the debates about Linux vs Hurd, that's where we are.
Please leave this knee-jerk vitriol off of Hacker News. We come here from other sites to avoid this stuff, not to see more of it.

>There are so much hidden state in the JVM.

Indeed. GB of state.

To the OPs statement:

OP>Using something like a reference count adds contention to this high-concurrency data structure, slowing it down.

So instead we'll have an engine that walks the DAG all the time; that trashes the CPU caches; in a language where there are no nested structures or stack allocations, so that what might be a single allocation in C or C++ or Rust (if an allocation happened at all) ends up being 28 for a single API call. Then you've either got to traverse the DAG completely every cycle, or you've got to write somewhere else that the object has changed and that thing has the same (or worse) access cost as a reference count. I know that there are very clever people working on very clever algorithms, but at this point, most of these algorithms have crossed into optimizations that work great 99% of the time, and it is the 1% that brings your app down in production.

And I'm not even complaining: if I have to architect my application so that it submits to the rules of the GC algo just so I can use Java, well that's often a fair trade. But I'm not pretending it's free.

OP>Threads have to fight over updating that counter,

I've done a lot of work that involved exactly this, and measured it, and they just don't: most of the time they just don't because it is incredibly unlikely for two threads to be hitting the same object at the same time. Some languages (Swift) even identify that a refcount doesn't need to be taken at all. If you do have a "central" object with such contention then you switch to a different locking model.
A is subjective, but every person we asked about A agrees on B. See why induction isn't great in this context.

This are the kind of things that make me close a web page.
I think many US highway signs are too wordy. Seems that European signs are more iconic. They are faster to recognize and more pleasant to look at but maybe take a bit more education to understand. US driver education is woeful by most other first-world standards, so maybe that's part of why we seem to need so many signs that explain things in words.

And there is much wrong with it in other parts. It's two generations ago that the war against sexism put 'mrs' out of style over here, so it feels quite culturally insensitive in academic and therefore international environments to keep asking women if they are married or not.
> Microservices are not a miracle cure or the solution to every problem, but they do force divisions within the code base.

Do they? The code itself may be in entirely separate repos but still be tightly coupled. Monoliths can have cleanly separated libraries/modules, those modules built from separate repos or at the very least, different namespaces.

The "macroservices" I've been seeing are many separate containers all sharing at least one data store. So they have all of the disadvantage of the "ball of mud" monolith combined with all of the disadvantage of much more complicated infrastructure. Yet the people working on them think they're "doing microservices" because k8!

The microservice separation is not just code in separate repos. It's also everything else behind the kimono - keep that kimono clasped tightly!
Not allowing women to work is also cultural. Doesn't mean it's something we should support.
Forgive me, I'm having some troubles understanding the target of your first two sentences. Are you insinuating that I'm somehow opposed to wind power, or actively pretending that it isn't a viable alternative?

I've paid as high as 700 öre ($0.7 USD) per kw/h, which is insane compared to the historical 15 öre. If building offshore wind parks in southern Sweden solves that problem, then I'm all for it.

AFAIK, we haven't been doing that, and every suggestion that we do is faced with political backlash, NIMBY etc. Instead, the emphasis seems to be new nuclear, which makes no sense, as an alternative to the old "Sverige har för mycket el", which isn't something you hear any more.
It is, but you cannot use it to fire a particular person. I mean, you get to choose who to fire, but if you need to hire somebody again for that position (because business is picking back up), you have to give the fired person the first option to come back.

it's also worth noting that, initially, we built everything in one account, and had 1 team doing all of it -- the cognitive load became too high at one point, and, only then, did we break out the "DDD" and split the concerns across many teams.

So far I have yet to read a comment addressing the actual analysis of the studies by the author of the article. It's all: "Everyone knows gas is bad; it's axiomatic and self-evident, and anyone who goes to the trouble of actually looking at the source data and run analysis on it is a moron."
Oh wow, you are correct, thanks for posting those links. This is definitely a recent change, as they used to be senior+ only since I've even heard of them about a decade ago.
What I think people tend to forget in this discussion is the genuine value that google brought when it first came out was not “better search” so much as it was “resilience against gaming”.

The pre-www search engines (gopher, Archie, jughead) were pretty sophisticated by allowing you to combine search expressions “and, or, near, phrase”, in essentially a regex style fashion, and they were getting better and better. Early www search engines followed the same approach, operating in the way that some library catalog systems still do. The problem is that they were easily gamed by bad actors.

This wasn’t an issue for some time, but the very instant making money become a possibility on the internet, everything changed. People remember google trouncing Altavista, but this was the broken Altavista that couldn’t defend against the scammers. The war had been going on for some time by then, with search engines starting well and failing once their weaknesses were discovered and exploited.

That google “topic + reddit” is now a thing says to me that the gamers have again won, and a new search approach is needed.
Should it? It doesn't have paid-but-no-SSO tiers. It only has "free" or "paid which includes SSO". So I don't think it's fair to say there's an SSO tax with this one. I don't think we get to expect SSO on free things.

I don't love mysterious "enterprise" pricing, but I don't know if there's a wall of shame for that :)
Huh, yeah, good point. "So you can better manipulate me into buying stuff" is a really non-compelling reason for me to give you sensitive personal information.
The one thing I wish is they had a keyword for base-ten related sequences (rather than only "base" for any base), because base ten related sequences simply are almost always going to be way more recreational maths related than base two or base three related sequences.
Gender != Chromosomal sex != Physiological sex != Hormonal sex != Gametes produced (gametic sex).

A man is most commonly (by percentage of total adult human population) an XY male, with a penis/testes, and produce sperm.

A woman is most commonly (by percentage of total adult human population) an XX female, with vulva/vagina/uterus/ovaries and breasts, and produce eggs. Older women (after menopause) no longer produce eggs and so have neuter gametic sex.

Pre-pubescent children don't produce gametes, and thus have neuter gametic sex.

A trans man is an XX female, possibly with surgical alterations to physiological sex, possibly with hormone replacement therapy to alter hormonal sex, and possibly (if either of the two former are present) with neuter gametic sex. Being a man does not require being male.

A trans woman is an XY male, possibly with surgical alterations to physiological sex, possibly with hormone replacement therapy to alter hormonal sex, and possibly (if either of the two former are present) with neuter gametic sex. Being a woman does not require being female.

Other combinations are possible.

Confusing gender with the various forms of sex and sex characteristics is unnecessary and causes confusion.
N/A is the non-binary answer (neither M nor F). Could be worded otherwise, "Non-binary or Not Applicable".

Not Known is for when no answer is given. This option shouldn't be presented to the user, but is for the case where the field is optional.
I believe this is a matter of individual preference and I think providing users with options to change these mechanics would be great! I 100% agree that center mouse + move should pan. But I also prefer the current scroll and I would like Shift+Scroll to scroll horizontally (as it does on any other web page).

Some fun info about gender and personal information I helped implement for our HR system:
* Gender options are configured by a per country basis. As in the system admin sets up the available options per country(As well as a few other personal info fields)
* Every country has different sets of personal info that can be asked, and that is required. (ie some counties required blood type)
* Most info can be configured to be hidden from managers and only visible to HR and the worker.
* Two personal info fields aren't ever visible to the worker themselves: date of death, and visual survey ethnicity. The latter is used for measuring diversity in countries that asking is illegal or frowned upon.

This is a very anecdotal article. The technologies involved in 5G are without a doubt better than their predecessor generation. Service quality versus LTE varies depending on location, but -- to counter anecdotes with anecdotes -- I personally find 5G to be remarkably faster and better, am very pleased with 5G hotspot service for backup internet access, and I think the article doesn't do justice to the topic.

I'm saying that if I exceed the speed of another vehicle and that vehicle merges into my lane or I merge into theirs, and I hit their vehicle from behind, I'm at least partially at fault.

If their vehicle is fully in the lane, I'm almost certainly going to be completely at fault.
The more experience I get, the more I wonder if this is really the case for us. We certainly have some kind of abstract model in our heads when thinking deeply about a problem. But in many settings - in a work meeting, or socially with friends - I think it is a much more automatic process. The satisfaction you get when saying the right thing, the dread when you say something stupid: It is just like playing a game. Maybe the old philosophical concept of society as merely "language games" is correct after all. A bit silly but I find the thought makes annoying meetings a bit more bearable.

But you are of course right with GPT, it has no inner life and only parrots. It completely lacks something like an inner state, an existence outside of the brief moment it is invoked, or anything like reflection. Reminds me of the novel "Blindsight" (which I actually haven't read yet, but heard good things about!) where there are beings that are intelligent, but not conscious.
I hope lonely people out there find solace in knowing that they are not alone in their situation.

> But in a world with little nuclear and precious few renewables, it just seems premature

Most people aren't talking about banning existing gas stoves in existing homes. But every easily avoidable greenhouse gas emission should be targeted, right now. And the entirety of the infrastructure to bring natural gas to so many homes involves lots of emissions, especially when considering leaks.

I really don't care about the "let's wait until x" arguments. All of these things need to be addressed now. Way too many people don't seem to understand the urgency here.

We are careening down the highway towards a brick wall, and people are saying "I don't want to take my foot off the gas pedal, because I want to keep making stir fry in my wok." Come on.
well no duh that's why I go to the gym every morning. Looked at the average salary these peeps are making. Most ppl on here are making double plus some in my area as developers.
I remember SAS openings in the 2000/2001 recession - I had reliable information that every opening at SAS was getting around 1,000 applicants.

There is bad-faith activity on this thread when a substantive comment like this is downvoted without rebuttal.
For what data collection purposes? You care more about whether I have a penis or vagina than whether I associate more with football and trucks or with dresses and makeup? If you want to know which ads to show me, the latter is going to be much more informative for you, even though gender is a weak signal for that. It's crazy to say that sex is more informative for all purposes. When I'm registering for some online service, why in the hell would you care whether I have a penis or a vagina?
Just so. Your gender might not match the cut you need, and even if it does, you might be shopping for a gift.
Except your own comment highlighted exactly what’s wrong with that: without the data the court won’t know how to rule. If you insist that the complainant is the one who has to investigate the salaries and work performance of all her coworkers, you’re immediately setting her up for failure. Requiring the company itself to record this information can provide evidence that they’re abusing employees—evidence that the employees themselves may never be able to produce.
I was thinking more on the DIY side; I'm entirely comfortable with electrical, but I worry I wouldn't "do" plumbing right (soldering copper, mainly; I have no issue with PEX); a friend of mine is the opposite.
We're not at farmers markets, because our niches are too focused. One guy I follow on YouTube pretty much only sells tool trays for cannabis products and I only sell replacement brake cable guides for 1980's powersport machines.

We've been at the very beginning of what you're describing for about 3-4 years now. I only started selling by request of the communities I'm part of because none of them knew anyone to print it.
I guess/thought the context of this was around 'big economic events' like people are predicting for 2023 - big economic downturn/recession.

I generally agree that it's not something most people would be on board with most of the time. Extreme/national/global circumstances, yeah. If few are hiring, everything's paused, etc... taking 10% pay cut seems reasonable. If the cuts are just because the company isn't run very well... yeah... move on to something else if you can.
It's there, it's just... small scale. Mass production techniques inherently don't work well for things that aren't mass production.
I think you're confused. In Spanish and other languages, both pronouns and other words depend on grammatical gender. Saying that you can “guess based on the pronoun” doesn't make sense, because the pronoun depends on gender too.

It's true that inanimate objects have kind of arbitrary genders, but for specific people, they're based on their actual gender.
What purpose would this serve? A drill and drill bit is a very common, quick, and easy to use tool. If you were screwing a box to a stud, I do not think you even need a pre drilled hole. You can just use any wood screw.

Also, outlet/switch boxes get nailed to the studs during construction, and modifications to those boxes are fastened to the drywall, in my experience.
Can you make a list of the things you were afraid would happen?

Which ones ended up happening?

What did you do after they happened and how did you deal with that?

Have you now established that there were things you were afraid of, some you prepared for and some you didn't even foresee, that have happened, and that you have dealt with them?
Depending on your age and general personal history, in the past it was very common to see references and use of "the Ukraine" to talk about the region/area as well as the country (that mostly covers that geographical area). It could be remnants of your recollections popping up subconsciously.

> The problem is, in this environment, where, with these new startups get their funding?

As the other commenter in this thread said - there would be many among them who have enough runway to try something for a few years. Couple this by the many already well-off employees who resigned since the great resignation started, you have a lot of potential small startups.

Moreover, remote work is well established now. People don't have to cram into expensive urban locations like SF and have to shoulder outrageous real estate and living costs. Also the cloud provides easy way to build scalable apps now, they are also well covered in respect to startup infra.

What's left is ideas, reaching to the right audience and iterating. With many tens of thousands of people being laid off, there will eventually be startups that hit big on various things and take market share from their earlier employers.

I am specifically thinking of a Christmas bazaar I was just at. You had all of these booths selling beautiful customized phone-cases and earrings and candle-holders and etc. And nearly all of them are starting with Chinese made plastics and putting labor intensive value on top of it.

And there was a single 3d print shop booth that sold glorified paperweights.

It just seemed to me that there is clearly a market failure between these two industries.
TorToiSe: Zero shot, high quality text to speech
A very very very extremely minor adjustment might be to rename "other" to "not listed".

The reasoning is that the word "other" can be alienating to some folks. The way we use the phrase "the other" to imply something foreign and untrustworthy in common language is a good example of why someone might not want to be called "other" in a form.

Now, this is a really minor thing, and won't impact 99.9+% of your users. But it could impact a few people! It's ultimately up to you whether you think it's clearer/more appropriate for your app to use "other", "not listed", or something else! My goal is not to be prescriptive, just to provide a little color and reasoning.
