I totally agree, yaml is just messy when used for anything near complex. This is also why most automations in my home assistant setup are written in Python using AppDaemon. But I did not find anything good for dashboards, so I tried to reduce duplicate code as much as possible using makejinja.

Very true, and a reason I’ve been trying to “clean up” older posts in various places from when (I thought) I was an un-boring youth.
> Some neighborhoods (where opinion-makers live) are getting fast shipping, for the rest of us Amazon seems to have the worst logistics network

I'm not sure that's a reasonable take, and it reads like a gratuitous putdown.

Where you live matters, and an urban center next to a local distribution center will always have better service than a rural area where barely anyone lives. It is absurd to use areas with bad coverage to complain that the whole service is bad, specially when you add the regrettably conspiratorial excuse that only influencers get a reasonable service.

The truth of the matter, that even your comment with an axe to grind admits, is that Amazon does indeed provide fast shipping services in some areas. These areas are naturally urban centers where a lot of people live per square meter, which means large numbers of people in that area benefit from fast delivery services. It's like economies of scale apply. In some other regions with small markets and residual demand, Amazon even falls back to standard postal service. Is this supposed to mean that the company provides a poor service. Well, no.

The truth of the matter is that Amazon has been growing it's distribution network, and it shows in it's quality of service. Those of us who live in urban centers that benefitted from these investments are privileged to have access to overnight delivery and some times even same-day delivery. Others who might be stuck living in an area with poor coverage don't. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the service got worse.

> Carrying balances is a positive thing if you pay on time every month.

This is absolutely never true.

Paying off a card every month is not "carrying a balance". Not paying off a card every month results in paying 15%+ rates in interest on the balance carried and actively lowers your credit score as long as you do it.

If you are carrying balances in the belief that it is a sound financial decision: stop immediately and take a moment to learn more before you make other poor financial decisions.
Was there a twitter thread about this or something? I'd love to read more. I actually don't think I've heard the name Balsamiq in 10 years
Amazon and Google report slowing cloud sales
Surely most of the compute cycles for turning a web page into pixels happen on the client anyway? I'm not convinced the server necessarily has to do massively more work to return HTML over JSON (though it would obviously depend on how the HTML-generation was coded. If you're trying to use the client-style page rendering techniques on the server, issuing API calls over the network and interpreting Javascript code, then you have a point).

Edit: my "most" claim is probably too strong on reflection: while there's still a lot of work to do to convert an in-memory DOM into pixels, it's likely to be highly optimized code (some of it handled at the GPU level) that uses minimal compute cycles. And while the V8 engine may be similarly optimised, it still has to interpret and execute arbitrary JS code supplied to it, plus handle all the necessary sandboxing. It'd be interesting to get a breakdown of what compute cycles are used converting a typical SPA into pixels, and of course a comparison with how much time is spend waiting for data to come across the network.

Thank you for the earnest reply to my snarky comment. I'll check out that series!
But that portion of your reply didn't address the fact that a bus ticket isn't 'productive capital'.
And much like weight gain, the propensity for buying things varies from person to person.

Some don't need much, others will always or almost always spend more than they have, but traditional financial advice will be the same for both groups.
And congrats on getting fired for refusing to use the companies internal tools. Not all web sites are brochure-ware. Sometime the target demographic is a limited number of internal employees who open the app once and keep it open.

Never mind that i don't know how you would display images server side.Your client needs to decode that image and render it to screen at some point
that's just one theory. everything i've read lists both del naja and gunningham as possibilities at the least, and often tosses a couple of other names into the mix.
Yeah but that's also incredibly naive. Inevitably there will be some un-calculated-for shortcuts that make all those copies not as failure-independent as they seem. If nothing else, what are the odds some random Amazon engineer makes a software rollout or hardware upgrade mistake and takes out a whole lot of copies in the process?

> Well, they do call it "virtual tapes", would be weird (maybe even illegal? False/misleading advertisement?) if they ended up storing it on physical tapes anyways.

No, just like it is not weird and definitely not illegal for the things they call “virtual machines” to end up being run on actual machines.
maybe thats the part he intends to deviate. he just doesnt need to reinvent the settled science.
Well, I wouldn't use such a website anyway (especially a document converter -- that is better done using a real application), regardless of where the processing was done, unless I was very certain that the website was trustworthy. For one thing, even if the website purports to not move my data to their servers, how do I know they're being truthful without going to extremes such as sniffing traffic?

There have been plenty of sites that have lied about such things.
We're having a normative discussion and we have our own beliefs. It's to be expected.
It's obviously nonsense. The lowest latency cache and state storage is clientside. You can piss around with multi regions and SSR to minimize latency but that's just placing a lot of regional caches near your users. The nearest place is in their actual browser -> offline first is the future
Good point. I don’t think they will be a good search engine replacement, but maybe a powerful supplement for some users. And honestly with SEO and other issues even search engines can be manipulated in ways that an average user might have difficulty detecting.
China has the money to pay the increased costs. Brazil is likely the most fucked by the fertilizer shortage since their massive soy farms are all on desert soil which requires loads of fertilizer which they can no longer afford.

I started working out, and I read before bed. I used to have so much trouble sleeping, but now I hit the bed, and within 15 minutes I'm out.

Every day, I wake up, I walk the dog (10-15 minute walk, slow pace). Then I do one of the following: walk (1 hour, moderate-to-fast pace), run (5 kilometers, ~28 minutes), lift weights (60-70 minutes). I've done this for 3 years straight.

Every night, I brush my teeth, get in bed, and read at least 1 chapter. Sometimes I read for an hour, sometimes it's 15 minutes, but I enjoy reading the books and when I get to a stopping point, I can easily put the book down, close my eyes, and pass the eff out. I've slept like a baby almost every night, with exceptions being external circumstances, such as my wife waking me up or the dog barking.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention my other stats, because there are a lot of reasons that one might have trouble sleeping, any of which could be problematic for you:

I'm relatively skinny at 6'3" 195lbs. I'm 40/m. I'm profoundly deaf (so noises don't _usually_ wake me up -- I can sleep through a storm, no problem.)

I don't have any other major conditions: no heartburn, no asthma, no sleep apnea, married but no kids. My job is stressful (VP Eng), but relatively rewarding. I try to eat relatively healthily, but lunch is often a burger and fries, and we do pizza nights every Friday night, just about. In other words, I watch my calorie intake, but I don't obsess over it. I don't drink alcohol or smoke.

Not sure if that's what you wanted, but that's my answer. Hope you figure out how to sleep better. I might suggest doing a sleep study with specialists, in case it's a physical issue that can be remedied.
An Illusion of Human Competence Can Hinder Appropriate Reliance on AI Systems
If you purchase a service describing it as "isolated virtual machines" and it ends up just being processes on a computer without any virtualization, wouldn't you call that at least misleading?
Not software dev specific, but I also use Peter Lowe's ads and trackers blocklist (https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php). Note that this one can be a bit aggressive (blocks url shorteners and clickthroughs on google ads even if they are the correct place you want to visit because, well, tracking), but it is well maintained and generally a fantastic addition to the default ublock origin lists imo

In my own experience I'd say it would be 'just as' effective, rather than 'far more'. Both solve the problem in a nearly identical way in the field. I'm not saving the hides so I don't mind if they end up in little pieces.
sccache seems awesome. I wasn't aware of it. Thanks.
>"It is basically like having an incredibly smart engineer/scientists/philosopher/etc that can explain things quite well, but for pretty much every field."

LOL where do you get this notion? I haven't seen one chatGPT bot useful for law. They all have no idea what they are doing and are basically dangerous if you don't know better than the LLM. There is literally nothing chatGPT can do for me as an attorney that isn't already solved by using a template.
The main roadblock here is the crime. You would need some safeguards to make sure these people aren't real enough to receive any government benefits, or open a bank account.
Sharecropping also has a strong parallel to making apps for somebody else's walled garden.

You do the labour to create the app, you do the labour of finding the right product-market fit, you take all the risks, and the landlord takes 30% or whatever for themselves, in exchange for ostensibly providing you with a platform you could not build and popularize yourself.

Everyone complains heartily about the 30%, but for a lot of sharecroppers, that's just the cost of doing business and they do fine. The bigger problem is when the landlord crunches some numbers and decides that their platform would benefit from commoditizing your app.

When that happens, they do things like buy your competitor, rebrand it as their own app, and give it away preinstalled. For example...

"The True Story of Audion:" https://www.panic.com/extras/audionstory/

Or they just use all the market data they have thanks to your app to build their own app and use their brand and muscle to squeeze you into irrelevance. Microsoft in its heyday was famous for this. Just ask Lotus about Excel, or ask WordPerfect about Word.

Well, yes, because the “isolated” is false, not because the “virtual machine” abstraction is realized on a real machine.
Ask HN: How would you host video if you were building “the next TikTok”?
Say you are a startup with minimal funding, so costs count for alot.

How would you host the video? There’s no chance of doing it cost effectively with the major clouds because they charge 9 cents per gig…. you’d be broke instantly.

So what are some other cost effective ways to do the hosting?
> So you are saying insurance companies have incentives to drive up the cost of healthcare as part of their business model?

Yes, as part of the ACA. Stories about denied coverage create outrage, but the structural incentive for insurance companies is to cover too much. My dad is a public health expert. He was speaking with a German colleague recently about Germany’s extensive hospice system. He came back asking why we don’t do that here.

> Might make more sense to scrap that captured industry built on perverse incentives that has only gotten worse and worse during my lifetime

Lots of developed countries make their health systems work with a private health insurance based system. Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Japan all rely on that model. In Japan, for example, 70% of health care spending comes from employer-provided insurance or out of pocket spending.

What’s different in all of those countries is: lower doctor and nurse pay, centralized price controls, greater supply of care providers, and aggressive cost-benefit based control over use of expensive treatment.
Good ol' New Hampshire. No insurance and no seatbelts needed!

And technically Virginia doesn't require insurance because you can opt out by paying a $500 fee, but at that point you might as well get some cheap car insurance.

(and beyond this you can 'self insure' in even more states)
If you mean "gaming industry" meaning gambling machines, then yes. If you mean "games industry" as in video games then it's just not true that it's "all about exploiting psychological inefficiencies". There are many monetization strategies that are not exploitative that are common and even dominate in the market. Ubisoft, DLC, or Candy Crush freemium models are not representative of the whole industry.
> you can usually cache the entire client side app so that the browser doesn't have to hit the network at all to start running client side code

This is also true for Web apps that do not have meaningful amounts of client-side code.

> Caching also works for client side rendering

There are obviously a lot of differences in how caching works, but client-side caching is generally strictly worse than doing so on the server. Using the e-commerce example in TFA, every browser has to maintain their own cache of the product information, which may include cache-busting things like prices, promotional blurbs, etc.

The server can maintain a single cache for all users, and can pre-warm the cache before any users ever see the page. Adding fragment caching, which allows parts of a page to be cached, a server-side caching strategy will typically result in less total work being done across the user population, as well as less work done at request time for each visitor.
While they try to move basic config to the UI, most stuff still requires yaml in the end. So I also think they still have a long way to go to appeal to regular users. makejinja also assumes that you know some yaml…

If you try it out and face some issues, feel free to open an issue. Maybe I can do a few things to make this tool easier to use for users without a programming background.

I was standing in line at a rental agency a few weeks ago after my Prius had its catalytic converter stolen (second time in two years!).

I use VMWare Workstation Player to run a bunch of different operating systems on Windows, e.g. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows 7, etc. It's served my needs pretty well for some time. Hyper-V as I understand it is pretty new. I think I'm using it to run WSL2 and I'm pretty happy with its performance. However I don't know how to use Hyper-V as a VMWare replacement. I'd imagine if it's able to do that, the learning curve would be a bit higher due to the CLI.

> And then if you want to take that rendered data and do anything interactive with it you have some js soup of parseInt(document.getQuerySelector(".item > .item__quantity") all over the place

And that's what most of the web needs - few use cases require having to manipulate every bit of the dom to send constant updates to the end-user. Social networks, financial sites, banks, betting sites etc. The rest do not need these heavy frameworks and the extensive dom manipulating capability. The last thing you want in an ecommerce checkout process is to distract the user by manipulating the dom to give him 'updates'. So nobody does anything like updating the user with info like 'latest prices', 'your friend just bought this' etc right in the middle of the checkout process. Same goes for blogs, most of publishing.
