I'm on a data team of 10, and after about 6 months of onboarding we have permissions to push directly to main pending passing tests. We generally do this for small changes, or changes where we are the context owner. With the caveat that reviews happen after the code is deployed, and usually within a few days.

Personally, I like the process. It allows us to move quickly, and focus on blocking changes. We can still get reviews prior to pushing code if it is sensible (for large changes), but most (80%?) changes tend to be quite small.
Git is the answer. Inline rendering and versioning/sharing baked in.

Very interesting!

Depends on your budget I guess.

A dedicated server on something like Hetzner is ~£50 a month, put portainer or proxmox (or portainer inside proxmox) and run whatever you want.

Use traefik to direct things.

Use backblaze, or hetzner boxes etc as storage backups etc

Gold is a weird comparison, it's valuable because it is rare. How does lithium compare to iron?
The job market really depends on you personally, and how in demand your skills are. A house is not cheap though, as others are pointing out. It pays off in the long run, but there's risk that if you have to get out for some financial emergency, it's (a) going to be a huge headache, and (b) put you in the red. I'd only do it if you were really comfortable with your emergency fund post-purchase, and if you're not stretching on your debt-to-income ratio with the payment.

It's already the case in any dense city center, I commute faster by bike or pubtrans than by car for anything shorter than 10km

Wow look at Mr. big adult manly man with his own personal vehicle. I bet they even eat veggies, what are they ? 6 ?

You want the same thing as everyone else, going from A to B efficiently and cheaply, and in many case a personal car isn't the most efficient nor cheap tool for that. The problem is that in a car centric city everything is designed to be hostile to anyone but cars, couple that with the auto industry propaganda and we get people like you

Just run the maths, 1.4B personal vehicles on earth (it's not going anywhere but up btw), fully electric or running on pure lignite you end up facing the same issues. So yeah we get it, you like moving 3 tonnes of metal to go to walmart and see your friends, that's fine, but you have to understand it's not efficient or clean or sustainable

Gonna give another rec to DigitalOcean, we use it for work as well and haven't had any major issues.
At the start of the 18th century, most work had to be done with the muscles of humans or animals. The development of the steam engine, and later engines, allowed these resources to be applied to more productive pursuits.

Near the end of the 19th century, all data processing was by human clerks. Tabulating machines, and later computers, allowed these resources to be applied to more productive pursuits.

What's the biggest drain of resources today? At least in the developed nations, a good candidate is lies and lack of integrity in decision-making, taken in its most general definition. Whether you are personally most irritated by its presence in government or private industry, it's obvious that this is widespread.

Therefore we feel it is imperative to completely solve the date representation problem once and for all.

A friend’s grandparents visited the Soviet Union during the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

We will never build AI, because we can only build what we understand, and if we understand it we won't call it AI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect
I think most people making that argument know this. It's just a case of politics makes for strange bedfellows. What apple is doing here is wrong and obviously if google did the same thing on android, it would make the bad chrome situation even worse. But despite that not being what apple is trying to do, it's also acting as a buffer of chrome getting closer still to just having near-100% of the market share, which is sort of the doomsday scenario for interoperability, because at that point the standard people code against will just be "whatever works in chrome, proprietary or not".

I personally do not support apple not allowing other browser engines, just as I do not support them not allowing other ways of installing apps besides the app store, but I also think that them allowing other browser engines will ultimately make the web worse as a side effect.

Edwin Brady often talks about his (digital) lab assistant. I think that’s a good mental image: an AI assistant is what we’ve used so far and I think is fine. They help us bounce ideas back and forth (e.g. searching) and correct typical mistakes (typos, type errors in Edwin’s case). But as soon as they’re running the lab and we become the assistant, I think that’s where most people would draw the line.

>> I don't really understand this irrational take. It's like claiming they don't want to speak in English because the dictionary is too large and some words are too tricky to spell to use in a conversation.

It's not irrational to want to avoid trouble.

Why would I want to use C++ with its plethora of gotchas, traps, caveats, pitfalls and footguns when I can use something safer and just as performant?
I don't see the point. There's lots of old content out there that won't get tagged, so lacking the tag doesn't mean it's AI generated. Meanwhile people abusing AI for profit (eg, generating AI driven blogs to stick ads on them) wouldn't want to tag their sites in a way that might get them ignored.

And what are the consequences for lying?
The flip side of 'stop relying on some faceless entity to manage it' is that it is a LOT of work to keep something like this up and running. Google automate it and have a ton of engineers to tend to things. But everyone else has to take care of software upgrades, security patching, backups and restore, cyber threats etc.

In the long run, independence is worth something. It is just costly.
I've worked with a lot of Rails code bases over the last 10 years and just haven't ever experienced this problem from a types perspective.

Certainly, if you let gems start to get out of date the dependency chains to get them updated can become a task but that's fairly true of any language. It's one of the selling points for moving parts of an app to isolated services too.

Everything is a tradeoff though. I don't know that you can get the Aspect Oriented Programming gains that you get with Ruby and Rails with a more strictly typed language.
>Yes but the original question is interesting: how do you make sure you're using the latest one ?

You don't, because you're rendering a simple html page, and whatever minor changes are in the new version are largely irrelevant.
Definitely! Code review is a bad time to be making design crit.
1) what is your budget?

2) how much stuff are you planning on hosting?

3) how much bandwidth do you need?

nextcloud was (I've not checked recently) very hard to secure properly, so you'll probably want to hide it behind a VPN or some such.

The other thing to think about is the amount of time you have budgeted for initial setup, and on going maintenance. you will need to have backups, and those backups need to be tested.

For hosting, you need disk space, so if you have enough bandwidth at home, its car cheaper to have a low power server with a couple of big disks in it, than it would be to host that data on S3/other block storage.

AWS will be much more expensive than linode or DO. assuming you are not using the managed services.

finally, I would advise getting your physical instances controlled via ansible or terraform, and if you are using docker, get that config in some sort of repo, so you can teardown and bring up your infra on demand. This make disaster recovery much easier (or porting)
The Spanish version is not bad. (It's not perfect, but something like the autotranslation of Google.)

Can you test with a more complicated sentence like

The brown bull is in the tall barn.

It's harder because in the Spanish translation it must change the order of adjective and nouns, and also modify the adjectives according to the gender of the nouns.

The German translation looks bad, but I don't remember enough German to be sure.
I've been running a cluster like that since some years ago and definitely felt that, but it was easy to fix by adding AMD64 nodes to it

Modifying the services I'm working on to build multi-arch container images was not as straightforward as I imagined, but now I can take advantage of both ARM and AMD64 nodes on my cluster (plus I learned to do that, which is priceless)
Aha, playing with it, it looks like the multiply is just a shift because if you try to do anything other than powers of two it has to break it down into more instructions.

Still clever, though. I guess it's to make it easier and quicker to index over words or multiples of words?
Imagine this as a security attack vector. Instead of nonsense, spam a bunch of repos with code that does a specific thing but in a very hard to understand way. Then add in a small piece of very hard to understand, but legit looking malicious code. Copilot trains on it and then starts feeding it to developers around the world. Probably easier ways to achieve this, but interesting to think about.
That's a teenager's point of view, you can't live in a dense community and say "I can do what I want because I'm free", every single of your action have consequences, on you, and on the community.

Every commenter is jumping in asking “is it correct?” Even if it’s not 100%, if it’s at least reasonably close, it could be a tremendous force-multiplier against obfuscation for someone with some familiarity with roughly what the code is trying to do.
Don't think so. There's clearly the beginning of a while loop near the top of the obfuscated version. There's no loops at all in the 'de-obfuscated' version.
Ask HN: Metformin
This morning I saw a tweet about metformin being generally used by a lot of people. Then I googled it and Harvard medicine had an article praising it. So now I’m curious…what is your experience with it?
individual solutions will never fix systemic issues like that.
You don’t… have you stayed at a hotel before? You just put the do not disturb sign up that hangs off your door handle on the outside of your door…
will it work a thousand out of a thousand times for a specific call?
Exactly. So how do you align everyone on that? The status quo is that people wait too long to make reviews (they are a formal process step at the very end). It's very hard to make it a formal step half way.

At the very end, they are of limited value and seen as a chore. So they become rubber stamps. The quality of the code base suffers from this, making development slower.

Everyone knows what the end goal is, yet "Code review finished code" is easy to adopt, but not very efficient unless the org is extremely good at what they are doing.

"Pause for thought and collaboration half way" is much much harder to achieve, without taking it to the extreme (pair sessions enforced etc).
sure, if you have a modern system with plenty of ram and ssd, then cpu will still be a bottleneck.

what i am saying is that if given a choice of a brand new cpu with 8gb ram and a hard drive (common specs for 10 years ago) or a 10 year old cpu with 16gb ram and an ssd, then i would definitely take the 10 year old cpu.

case in point, i recently bought this super cheap dell laptop, which has a really nice brand new cpu (i5-1135G7) but only 8gb ram and a crappy ssd. i will upgrade those things when i have the time, but right now if i am running too many things it will start swapping out, and that is far worse than maxing out the cpu.
Frankly, the bar for that is pretty low...

Well, I asked GPT-3 to make this longer:

One of the surest ways to come up with new ideas is to pay attention to what doesn't fit in. We're used to seeing things in a certain way, and often times it's the things that don't quite fit into our preconceived notions that can provide the best insights. The most obvious place to look for these anomalies is at the frontiers of knowledge.

Knowledge grows like a fractal; from a distance its edges may appear smooth, but when you get closer you begin to see the jagged gaps and spaces. These gaps can be surprisingly obvious; it can seem strange that no one has thought to ask a certain question or investigate a certain problem. When you explore them, you can often discover entirely new areas of knowledge that have been previously untouched.

That's why it's useful to investigate these gaps in knowledge. It may feel uncomfortable at first; we don't always like to challenge our preconceptions and explore things beyond our comfort zone. But often times this can be the source of some of our best ideas.

You don't even have to look far for these anomalies; they can be found in everyday life. Much of stand-up comedy is based on this, by finding the oddities and quirks about our daily lives that we normally take for granted.

So don't be afraid to take a closer look at what seems strange or missing or broken. It could lead you to unexpected discovery and perhaps even uncover some of your best ideas. This may be challenging and uncomfortable, but it's often worth it.

Tape drives (3592) in a Singapore data centre had lots of problems in the smokey burning season until they put in filtering specifically for the drives. In other office-like data transfer rooms in other cities they didn't seem to have problems, so perhaps there's something especially bad about smoke.
Sims 3 ran terribly, that was one of the things that the community hated about it, so yeah, probably Sims 3. Also Sims 3 sims looked like potatoes and while Sims and Sims 2 still had some Maxis personality in them, Sims 3 was pretty stripped of that.

As a kid, my first trip to Disney World happened in April of 1986. I only have fleeting memories of that trip, but two stand out: 1) Chernobyl on the headlines of papers in Florida and 2) how the smoke-filled cabin of the airplane stuffed me up to the point of being barely able to breathe.
I generally agree with you, and I think the biggest tell has been response to remote work. I live in a suburb, largely for cost reasons, and commuting into work involved driving 15 miles one way. The round trip, 5 days a week, meant I was driving 150+ miles per week. I’ve been 100% remote since the beginning of the pandemic, and now I drive less than 5 miles per week, for groceries and all other trips combined. While I understand this situation won’t be universally applicable, the same holds true for a large chunk of the population, including many of my family, friends, and coworkers. This should be seen as an unmitigated climate success, and we should be pushing remote work wherever possible from a climate perspective. But many of the same news publications and individuals supposedly so concerned about the climate have lamented how remote work will cause the decline and eventual death of our large cities. Nevermind that many smaller to medium cities could potentially thrive in more self-sustaining ways. Because it’s ultimately about a particular lifestyle they prefer, and anything reasoning regarding the climate, the economy, culture, politics, or society at large that can be twisted to support their preferred lifestyle will, and will be jettisoned as soon as it doesn’t.

The same holds true, in my personal experience, with many of those claiming to go child-free for the sake of the climate. Most of my acquaintances who fall into my basket have clearly been uninterested in having children for a long time and have only recently latched onto the idea that they are doing it for the good of society. The reverse seems to hold true as well: I’ve noticed what seems to be an increase in the number of people claiming our moral obligation to have children for the sake of society stability and growth.

Let me be clear, I don’t believe that living in or out of a city, or having or not having children are “better”. I am just alarmed by how many seem completely unwilling to accept others may make different life choices than them. People are not content to live their life as they please. They must actually be martyrs and better than you for doing so. I can’t tell if this is an artifact of the age we live in, or it’s always been this way and I’m only become more aware of it as I’ve grown older.
I really like Scaleway: https://www.scaleway.com/en/.

Similar offer and simplicity as DigitalOcean, but way lower prices. I had to reach support a few months ago, and they were pretty responsive.

They also show the prices per month, not per hour/milisecond/byte/whatever. As I'm also the one paying the invoices, I really like that.
