Ask HN: Idea: a CMS generates AWS CloudFormation template for site back end?
The idea is about a CMS system that makes it easy for the user to create and manage their website's content. The CMS allows the user to directly edit content files in a GitHub repository through its user-friendly interface. This same repository holds the source code for the website, which is built using NextJS. The website's code includes API functions that fetch dynamic data from a database or authorize users.

The CMS takes things a step further by automatically generating a CloudFormation template, which can be uploaded to the user's AWS account. This template sets up the backend infrastructure for the website, including the database and authorization configuration. By using this template, the user can quickly and easily set up the backend for their website without having to worry about managing the infrastructure themselves.
Dan I’ve emailed you privately but I simply don’t think this is appropriate to keep on HN given the framing of the article as fact and the current evidence provided. Hearsay is not new evidence. Give us a recording, a photo, anything. As written this is a compelling fiction presented as fact which is dishonest to the community. Especially considering these articles are simply clicked and read more often than debated, only a fraction of us are silly enough to write comments on the internet.
Then it was Switzerland. Nobody suspects them, everybody was fine with Nord Stream gone but there was no agreement on who gets to blow it up. So Switzerland volunteered. Proof me wrong!
I've been using linux on my main machine for quite a while now, but I usually keep a windows machine for games (though I hear linux gaming is pretty good these days, so hopefully I can go that route before windows 11 becomes mandatory).

I liked windows 7, but always felt annoyed at being coerced onto more and more disrespectful versions of windows over time. At this point, I wish I had something like a throwaway vm or docker container for anything I need to run in a windows environment, like people use for malware research but more convenient.
If there is any virtue to collecting telemetry, make it opt-in. Any developer convinced of this being useful will gladly enable it. But making it opt-out is just nefarious, because most users will not be aware of it.

They were found guilty as all hell by the EU, and were apparently nearly broken up. Pity they got to keep as one entity. :(

My point is that people don't take out loans to leave it in the bank account though. Going with your example, the bank would be insolvent when the customer tries to transfer the $20 to another bank because that would deplete its entire reserves.
Many species have already slid to the bottom of that slope. The phenomenon is called Fisherian Runaway, and it's not pretty.

It's no secret that Hersh's work has become increasingly suspect in recent years. Every time he writes, he cites a single anonymous source and yet manages to go into an implausible level of detail and completeness with neatly tied up loose ends you'd only expect to find in a Tom Clancy novel. The only reason this story has been rescued from the dustbin is due to Hersh's (old) reputation, which though well earned, shouldn't just give him a pass.

Having seen our kids pass through this timeframe into adulthood, experiencing various forms of "mental illness" along the way, the main "obvious" factors that were different from our childhoods were ...

a) social media, and

b) schools pressuring them to commit to major life decisions before they were even allowed to drive a car, and never letting up, and

c) the magnitude of student loans necessary to comply with that pressure.

This was all hammering them long before any sort of college admissions process came into play.
HN is notably easy to abuse though; barebones compared to other social media operations. Which is, perhaps, part of the charm...
Thank you! I appreciate it

"Non-government tax" is bullshit semantics. Any random organization cannot collect a tax unless a government has delegated special authority to that organization, thereby making that organization part of government.

It's like saying "independent courts" aren't part of "the government" because the courts are "independent" and because elected politicians don't have the official authority to tell judges how cases should be decided. Semantics. The courts are a branch of government.
Yeah, I see no reason to think it is the gore. There are so many other things, including social media, which are much more likely candidates.
pop_back() is internally just changing a single index.

Now, adding a check is adding several other operations, including a conditional branch.

This is fairly bad for performance. So the C++ way is that you write the check yourself if your code requires it.
> I can claim that you destroyed the pipeline and it would be equally as valid at this point.

An established reputation is the difference between those claims. You making a claim without evidence is just that.

Hersh making a claim without sharing his evidence is something different. That isn’t to say we don’t need evidence, but there’s a better reason to believe him than you, given the context of the situation.

> His previous reputation is important but history is littered with examples of people making mistakes and relying on their own hubris.

And it’s also full of the opposite. The existence of hubris is not evidence of it.

But even then, that claim doesn’t fit, unless you are implying that he made the whole thing up and concluded that it must be what happened.

Another conclusion is that he has a source, and simply has not shared it yet.

Maybe time will tell.
> The docking to a TV / monitor is a joke with the standard UI

Have you tried recently? When Valve released their own dock they updated the software and it works out of the box for me now. I plug in the cable and it pops up on my TV right away. The only issue I still have is if I dock while in the middle of a game -- some games don't deal with resolution/gamepad change well.
> Communism killed more than a hundred million people in the 20th century.

Well, capitalism also killed hundred million people in the same century following the same logic... Modern capitalism and institutions also came from bloody revolutions, created a world order with colonialism in XIX century, produced wars to dispute such colonies and global power in XX century and did a lot of bloodshed also in XX century because it was afraid of losing power to socialism. If we use this logic, we cannot discuss any philosophy or social theory, probably all them produced several deaths.
Yeah, and you can use an LLM for your debate club. No attorney worth their salt is going to rely on an LLM for any litigation. Let alone the fact that they if they did, they would and should be disbarred.
You know what matters even more than reputation. Evidence.

And there is an absence of it here.
For about 2.5 years starting in 2015 I was a high school teacher at a Title I (low income area) school. There was a lot of anxiety and depression -- obviously not far outside trends around that. Very, very few kids were doing extracurriculars beyond maybe one sport, or a part-time job for a minority of the juniors and seniors. The (very) few kids who were oversubscribed the way you were didn't seem to have a rate of anxiety or depression greater than their peers, and the greatest incidence seemed to be in the lowest-achieving students.

Obviously this is anecdotal, and there can be multiple causes, but teaching gives you a lot of anecdotes and they don't seem to fit this narrative.
He has the code name of the operation and a ton of alleged operational details, attributed to his sources in the Intel community.
There's a lot of debate whether this is a story about archaic artistic views or stubborn policy, but the story lies only in the failure to mate the two.

It's all perfectly fine. A venue may choose not to host a play. A work of art is confined by the artist's views. Either one, the venue or the work of art, may become obsolete or more relevant because of these constraints.
To the extent that this is true in the USA it would be so thanks to the Taft Hartley Act of 1947, which restricts Union power in general while placing all of the unions power in the hands of the union leadership. The act makes wildcat strikes illegal so all strikes must be agreed upon by leadership. It makes sympathy strikes illegal. And that’s just what I remember off the top of my head (IANAL).

The act should be repealed so union members have the power to strike regardless of whether union leadership agrees. Many common issues with unions people will share in this thread are experiences had under the Taft-Hartley Act, which is not the natural state of unions but an act of the state to weaken their power.

The only factual bits in the post:

- Biden saying that NS2 will not go forward

- the pipeline is blown up

Did I miss anything? Because the rest is conjectures, one anonymous source, and references to historical events. I don't understand what does this add to the discourse.

Adding Hersh's name to the conspiracy theory (in a very literal sense) does not add any factual weight to it, it's still an unfounded conspiracy theory. It's (again, literally) an "ad hominem" argument, which is widely understood to be a fallacy.

Which also makes people linking stuff like https://www.vox.com/2015/5/11/8584473/seymour-hersh-osama-bi... wrong, because it's not about Hersh's integrity or lack thereof, the whole premise is wrong.

> What if I ask ChatGPT: why do people resist new disruptive technologies?

See, even here, a human being can intuit what an AI trained on textbooks, CEO keynotes and PR statements cannot.

People resist because their bullshit detectors went off. Search AI has yet to 'disrupt' anything. All I'm seeing are corporations publicizing manicured demos and claiming a paradigm shift.
> it does not mean the bank would charge me interest on my savings (which would of course cause me to withdraw my money and close my account).

Indeed. The reason why this matters, and becomes possible, with a CBDC is that there is nowhere left to "withdraw" to. Private banks would not offer you any higher rates on savings than the CBDC does (why would they, when they can borrow at the interbank rate for less?). The fact that account holders would withdraw if rates on savings became negative is why central banks presently are unable to reduce the interest rate (significantly) below zero. With a CBDC, "withdrawing" simply means transferring from your private bank account to your CBDC account.

It would not be the government enacting this policy, but the central bank itself, as a necessary step to conducting monetary policy below the zero bound.
> Use the CLI for everything

Interesting, can you explain what this looks like in practice?
However disinformation may very well lead to totalitarian regimes, propped on distorted reality and fake news. A democracy must be able to defend itself.
Totally agree. I've also disconnected from everything but the tech news and not missing anything. We had a discussion recently where people were amazed some hadn't heard of the Turkey earthquake 12 hours later. I only learned of it 1 hour before that.

But really what does it matter? Anything really important will reach me anyway. And there's nothing I can do about most of it. I also can't care about every single person in the world. Even if I know about bad stuff happening I can't help it.

I just read the local paper website once a day now, and that's enough. Anything important like this in Turkey will show up there too. And most of the local news is about stuff that actually affects me.

I also don't have a TV subscription anymore. I don't watch anything live, and have zero interest in watching sports so I just had no need for it anymore. Same with social media, if I could still just follow my friends like they used to offer I would, but they don't. They try to make me engage with low quality nonsense which pushes me away.

The only interruptions I get now is from instant messaging, but most of the people I know and all group chats I have muted and I just check in on their chats when I feel like it. So no notifications there. Only the most important people get through.
I agree with FDroid here but as a compromise if the author wants to keep his little TOS banner he could instead turn it into a less forceful disclaimer with less forceful language.

Basically instead of a TOS popup with "You cannot use it for illegal..." it ends being a disclaimer with something like "This app was designed for legal use..."
I'd say it depends, though I suppose the same could be said for Blender vs Cinema4D. Overall, if I had to put a number on it I'd say a 7, however that cuts both ways, I could say that Godot is 70% as good as Unity or that Unity is 70% as good as Godot.

I migrated from Unity to Godot a few years ago because its open source, but now even if Unity went the same way I doubt I'd go back. The only things I really miss about Unity are the solid features for 3D (but Godot is getting there) and the choice for using a generic, performance orientated language over a built-in, ease-of-use orientated language (which I don't see changing anytime soon, though mono support is improving). That last one is especially important to me, but I'd be more likely to move onto another open source engine/framework than back to Unity.
No it isn't. It means that the government doesn't control the funding (or lack of funding) for a public broadcaster.

That's an important part of their independence.

Also, it's not really a tax, it's a levy or fee.

This! The fun of programming won't come out of a software project.

I find fun in programming by writing code solving small challenges. Something people really hate, e.g. LeetCode, is actually the fun place for me: I really enjoy writing some small size program to solve a made-up problem with my scattered time. I don't need to worry about language, library, framework, platform, UI, etc. The only thing matters is coding, and that's the thing makes me happy.
How many people are installing and using open source software but couldn't understand a pop-up explaining what data is collected and asking if they'd like to submit it? Is the non-technical nature of the user the problem or is it just that when you have an opt-in option most people make the choice to opt-out? That's the thing about respecting users by giving them choice, they get to say no. If they mostly say no, and you don't get enough data, that's the will of your users and therefore not really a problem.
I'm not going to participate in the informational equivalent of a cargo cult. Sorry. I require evidence
Thank you.

My idea is that the challenge here is not the time nor getting the puzzle right at first attempt, but as in math problems it's to find the best answer at all eventually.

And if I can't solve some level I can come back to it later (hence the filters for partially completed levels).

It's bad when they do it too. That's what Bloomberg did with their Supermicro Chinese chip story and it was a disaster (and one for which they still haven't apologized or really even acknowledged).

Huge allegations require evidence. Your name is not good enough, no matter what you've exposed in that past.

Another possible explanation is that we are simply diagnosing these kind of mental health issues better – due to decrease in stigmatization and/or more attention to it – but that our treatment is worse than doing nothing, and is leading to higher rates of self-harm and suicide.

I think this explains a lot of it, in particular in regard to rising rates of autism. Doctors are looking for symptoms, hence more people will be diagnosed.
Can it also generate unit tests for you to prove the functions work as expected?
Obviously those unit tests need to be something a quick glance at will confirm are actually usefully verifying expected behaviour (of course, there are circumstances that's nigh on impossible to do even with the most carefully handcrafted tests).

Phones are the only popular end user device that has any sort of protection worth its salt. Against who? Against easily downloadable malware that can trivially execute as the user, effectively doing anything beside installing a video card driver. Can trivially log key presses, read any screen, download/upload to the internet, read your .ssh folder, browser cache, or encrypt your family photos without a second thought.

Mac is a bit ahead of the other two, but gnu/linux (as opposed to “android linux”) is just insanely unsecure.

> If phones were more open, we'd be free to mod our own games and back up our own save files, but we'd have to live with every random crap app we download being able to take over the whole machine permanently any time.

It's possible to give the user full control and the ability to give apps more permissions, while still sandboxing apps by default. Consider, for example, flatpak, which can make the host filesystem totally invisible to apps but also allows the user to pass in files via the file picker or to totally expose paths by overriding its filesystem context.
At your school, sure. Not at the one I taught at in the 10s. And from knowing other teachers then, I'd guess the pressure was high at only one, maybe two, of the six high schools in the area.

I honestly see value in having scars, both the physical and mental varieties. Scars create resilience. We saw this during the recent pandemic. The upper-middle class "high achieving, high anxiety" types who had never faced any real danger or hardship were the most likely to panic and demand all sorts of ridiculous lockdowns and mandates, even though the vast majority of them were never at any significant risk. Whereas blue-collar workers and those accustomed to engaging in physically dangerous activities were generally much more sanguine and level-headed about the whole thing.

Some people just need to harden the f*** up and quit catastrophizing every little thing.
Your comment seems to be deliberately misunderstanding who triggered the gas reduction, which is why others opinion of the comment is quite low
Does it? It really just shows that he wasn't serious when he said he'd literally dirk it. I wouldn't assume that was a serious statement. A more careful person would have said something like "you could hypothetically drink the stuff and based on everything we know right now you'd be just fine."
Even accepting everything you say, you have still missed my point. Company A has employees who are working as a team, working for the good of the company.

Even if management decides that workers only get X%, and workers can't negotiate that, in which company is there a bigger pot available to pay workers?
