I don't see why this is so downvoted. People are doing a lot of mental gymnastics to discount the possibility of Russian sabotage here and I really don't understand why that is. Nothing is certain, but I think it's silly to discount Russia being responsible it for the reasons people are giving.
I grew up in a small town just north of Austin, and lived in town after college for a few years. If you aren't a big foodie or into live music, there's really not much reason to live there. Horrible traffic, surface-of-the-sun hot, wildly overpriced, geographically uninteresting, etc.

People are generally very friendly and it's a blue city in a deeply red state, which I personally appreciate, but I'd live in inner-loop Houston before moving back to Austin, and in turn I'd live in just about any other coastal state before moving back to Texas.
There's more radioactivity in coal fired plant emissions gases than is coming from a storage cask.

I hope this doesn’t discourage you! There’s a thriving community of indie founders who are earning a good living from their own companies, many of whom are developers who struck out on their own.

Most don’t have fancy degrees or companies on their resumes, though a few do. Many don’t have a college degree at all.

It’s definitely possible to build a profitable small tech business. We’ve been running our own company full-time for over 6 years now, and make a better living than we did as employees. It did take 3 years of patience as it grew from a side project (so we’re in year 9 now, all told).

FWIW self-funding a hardware company, especially when outside expertise is required, is definitely bootstrapping on hard mode. (Though I do know someone who bootstrapped a rocket company!) Most of us do software.

I encourage you to check out a MicroConf Local if you’re interested in learning more about the indie founder world.
Haha "Og mage" ... yeah. The combat of AC still holds up in its janky for being fun in the context of an MMO. I spent most of my playtime on Darktide and dear lord, it made me so sweaty.

It's amazing to me how many people are still friends with their patrons/vassals from 25 years ago.
I work for a B2B SaaS and we use Ruby on Rails with Hotwire and it's great!

Almost zero JS (no Vue.js, no React, or else).
Moved there in 2017 from Florida. It's grown tremendously even in that amount of time. So many more high rises than there were 5 years ago even. Austin's been able to attract flagships like the Google Wave building downtown, which is a beautiful building on Lady Bird Lake. Far more of the "east side" has also developed in that time. A lot of old ranch houses and old bars and restaurants that I briefly got to see have been razed for the 4-6 story mixed use buildings that now run almost the entire length of east 6th. It's gone from an eclectic, artsy, hipster vibe on that side of town to trendy and modern. Although, there's still plenty of great bars to enjoy over there.

One thing I feel about Austin, is that people are super friendly. A lot of people are transplants, and they're usually more than willing to make new friends. Sometimes you'll meet some Austin veterans or natives there. They'll tell you that the east side used to be very crime-ridden (I'm guessing in the 90s and early 00s). They'll bemoan all the growth, but a lot of them will also say that they haven't grown tired of the city because of the constant change.

I do think the author's anecdote about the people being more "libertarian"-ish is kinda true. A lot of my Democrat friends in ATX tend to be very pro-gun rights, for example. I do think you get a lot of more moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans in Austin and that is a political culture you won't really find in most tech hubs.

I would say my only major complaint about ATX is that it's right smack in the middle of Texas. Nothing wrong with Texas, but it's a very large state and if you want to take a road trip to the mountains or the beach or somewhere different, it's a long haul.
But it provides a strong backstop against the consequences of liability. E.g. if your house and your car aren’t assets of the corporation, they can’t be seized and liquidated to satisfy debts or settle litigation.

Nice to see you didn't actually read the article. It's written by a woman, by the way.
I'm building a webapp[0] for turning Clickup docs into static sites, using CF Workers. There isn't a framework for Workers that has the flexibility I need, so I home-rolled one that only sends rendered HTML over the wire. Async components are supported too, so if I have a particularly data-intensive component the renderer just inlines a tiny JS script that sends a request to the worker again, which then returns just that component in HTML.

Could be worth releasing on its own as a GitHub project!

I would speculate the main hurdle was probably believing the players in the first place. Humans are notoriously bad at not-noticing-patterns in properly random data. And statistical bugs like this require more effort and careful attention to detail to reproduce than deterministic bugs.

Another hurdle is likely that game developer culture strongly favors integration testing over unit testing. Games are optimized for fun, not correctness, and you can't unit test fun. This specific roulette selection function would have been straightforward to unit test, and a unit test would have caught the distortion. But now imagine people keep varying how important distance is to the calculation in order to make it "feel right". Updating those unit tests is suddenly a noticeable slowdown on how quickly you can iterate on game feel.
> Anti-nuclear activists routinely ignore the possibility of reprocessing nuclear waste into more nuclear fuel.

Quite the contrary; they oppose it. Windscale/Sellafield has been the target of protests for decades. The problem is, to extract and concentrate the stuff you want to output, you create a greatly increased volume of stuff that you don't want/can't sell.
That is a good reply generally, but this

Your assumption that blocking is somehow ethical by default is not unproblematic.

is itself an assumption.

The problem I'm concerned with is aggressive (either deliberately or ignorantly) crawling/scraping of non-commercial sites which often lack the financial resources to defend against activities enabled without apparent concern by tools like the site here.

If a site allows reasonable access in good faith, then subverting those limits and constraints for self-serving reasons is ethically dubious at best, and any service not addressing that while promising to enable that subversion should be questioned.
I have a bunch of no-name laptop batteries lying around that no one will take. Apparently lithium ion waste is not as valuable as I thought.
Also the taxman in most jurisdictions gives you a tax amnesty for some yearly income per year that you are essentially throwing away with a $0 income.
There are a few ways of comparing these numbers. I think you're suggesting that something like deaths/kWh is a better metric, which I agree with; if we just go with total deaths than something like pedal-driven generators are the safest way to generate power, which is obviously an unhelpful statement.

However, the greater point is that although nuclear power is dangerous by default because of the waste and risks of meltdowns it can be made very safe with engineering and still be a cheap generation method. By all accounts I'm familiar with fossil fuels cannot be made safe for either the environment or people while still being cost-effective.

A major issue in the nuclear vs fossil fuels argument is perceived vs actual risk. I don't have the numbers, but even though Fukushima was a huge disaster, the death toll is officially 1. But the cleanup has been very expensive and very visible. Meanwhile, coal/gas/oil plants deflect the equivalent costs of their cleanup onto workers and people in the communities in increased mortality and healthcare costs.

More succinctly, nuclear can be safe with effort, but fossil fuels seemingly can't be safe, no matter how much effort.
Probably none? Nothing "bad" ever happens in a Simpsons episode, especially around nuclear materials.

Here is an anecdote to illustrate how "The Machine TM" tried to get me fired.

For context, Microsoft introduced a "AI revamped Intellisense" in Visual Studio (not Code) a few months ago. It's not Copilot, it just makes suggestions but only for your next line of code.
It's Okish most of the suggestions are good, it saves time on repetitive tasks.

Yesterday I was writing some code to disable some customers.
I had a list of all customers and a list of customers to disable.
Intellisense offered to pass the list of all customers to the method that will disable them. If I wasn't paying attention, next Monday (and the rest of the week really) would have been quite "entertaining".

That doesn't sound right. Where did this happen and what did I say?
Yes, agreed. Unfortunately as with most software development process fads, most of the TBD advocates I've met fail to understand that nuance.

Mind you, I've been "doing TDB or a variation of it," and advocating for it for as long as I can remember. Still, as soon as TBD was given a name and evangelists started sprawling and calling me a heretic because I favoured pragmatism in many instances, I started disliking the dogma as a whole.

I'm fine with using it as a discussion starter. Always look at principles and outcomes though. If the dogma gets in the way, discard the dogma and do what will work given your teams, their culture and their maturity.
You can also go to the extreme of "jpeg over the wire". Your "web browser" could probably be implemented in <1000 lines of of code ;) No state, no cookies, no million lines of bundled JavaScript.

I mean that lack of people complaining means kids don't to it.
> The reason the founder isn't doing that now is likely exactly the same reason Uber or other VC startups consistently lose money; they are optimizing for growth, not profit/salary.

Optimizing for growth is very risky and makes sense to VCs. VCs diversify into dozens of companies. The odds that one company will be a moonshot are pretty good. But as an individual founder you're 100% exposed to the growth/collapse of your one company.
Some would say it’s incredibly cruel to bring new life into existence for that very reason.
I don't know how well they work. I have a sibling with one that they use frequently, but that sibling is a bit odd. (I think the blanket circulates water through it, but I've never really asked.) Their use may just be due to a placebo-esque effect.
Others already answered but that's why I bothered making that little quip about HTTP. It's kind of a ridiculous name but also funny and appropriate since it's trying to state that it's a return to form. My brother who is just started working with web tech recently didn't even realize that it was possible to send HTML over HTTP, lol.
Concentrates are really great, and cost effective if you're a moderate consumer (even daily).

One of Apple's goals with building their own chips is getting a lower TPD for devices. I can't imagine they'd field a cellular chip that drew more power than Qualcomm's. It's always possible though.

If that turns out to be the case, the iPad has the largest battery and can absorb more of a regression than any of their other devices. But there's enough of those sold to get some progress toward a tighter solution
Thats fair enough. Googling for my username takes you pretty quickly to my name as well.

I don't think I did a good enough job in my initial reply emphasizing that from my perspective a nickname that you only used in certian social contexts is functionally a persona. If your wife calls you Jason but all your drinking buddies call you Jack because of a hilarious collage hijink (or something), a random passer by at the bar would have no clue that the name on your birth certificate (the one that can be used to impersonate you) is actually Jason.

Thats really what I am talking about. As long as you dont lie about the fact that "Jack" is a nickname when asked, your not being unethical, in my view.

You don't even need a fancy "send html fragments over the wire" approach to create a better user and developer experience.

Just sending full pages, server side rendered, like Hacker News and Wikipedia do is fine:

Going from the HN homepage to this topic we are on:

36 KB in 5 requests.

Going from the Wikipedia Homepage to an article:

824 KB in 25 requests

Going from the AirBnB homepage to an apartment listing:

11.4 MB in 265 requests.

Going from the Reddit homepage to a Reddit thread:

3.74 MB in 40 requests

In comparison to AirBnB and Reddit, HN and Wikipedia feel blazingly fast. And I am sure the developer experience is an order of magnitude nicer as well.

I don't expose samba no, but at one point I did run openvpn access. I set the client config for the VPN to only forward 192.168.x.x through the vpn, but not all other traffic. So if I go to a coffee shop, my windows laptop would act entirely like it was still on my lan and my mounted network drive would fully connect as normal.

I removed that service since it was kind of clunky and always had connection issues. Perhaps I should try it again.
If they are so remarkably profitable, why aren't they pervasive?
That's a pretty huge drop in accuracy.
Can one guarantee this? It makes me think of constexpr in C++, which does something similar and it makes things really confusing about when something is, isn't, or should be constexpr (is_constant_evaluated/is_const).

I'm not interested in becoming a cloud practitioner or getting an AWS/GCP/Azure certificate just to host my web app on AWS.

All I want to do is just git push my code and my app is distributed worldwide in the closest regions, all fast with no deploy scripts or convoluted formation tools.

Heroku and maybe Fly.io are the closest to this goal than other all the other solutions i've tried.

But anything that gets in my way of this goal is friction.
Wikipedia's bias is more prevalent on specific pages, or collections of topics. Many pages have zero or near zero bias. You're not going to have much bias on scientific topics like, say resonant structures.

It's a lot more prone to bias on biographical topics, where senior editors can essentially suppress any negative coverage, or promote embellished facts about a person. Take a gander at the talk page of controversial articles, or more specifically the history of the talk page since talk pages themselves get pruned and censored.

> trawling old forums to figure out how to repair my 12-year-old subwoofer is a pain and unreliable

A few years ago I had the same experience. It cost me $30 and 10 minutes to replace the subwoofer speaker in my 20 year old Mission home theatre, but finding the right speaker was quite difficult. I trawled forums and ended up ordering a speaker from a German manufacturer that had all sorts of speakers for specialised applications.

Most people would have just thrown out the entire setup and bought a new one, expensive and wasteful. Yet it was so trivial to fix with the right knowledge. And it sounded great, better than most setups I hear today.

It makes me wonder whether home theatres bought today will still be functioning in the 2040s. It seems unlikely as soundbars are all the rage these days which communicate over bluetooth/hdmi protocols that get superseded every few years, forcing you to constantly upgrade. Makes me appreciate the “dumb” aspect of that old setup I had.
ColdFusion!!! Nice!!!

> - The City Council here is undoubtedly the worst part of the problem. They consistently buckle to NIMBYs, and allocate money in just unreasonably idiotic ways. ("No one riding the train that cost $1.1 billion? Easy fix! Spend $7 billion more!") They are making the change much more painful.

Are you referring to Project Connect here? Right now nobody rides the train, but the answer to that problem _is_ to spend more money. Currently the train stops basically nowhere useful unless you are commuting from Leander to downtown, or going to the soccer stadium. The answer to that is to put _more_ stops in, in more useful places. The Domain stop is a ~30 minute walk from all the large businesses in the Domain. The train stops running into town at 6pm, meaning if you stay a little late you miss the train at your Domain office, and its not useful at all if you're trying to go out drinking or something in the city.

Additionally, there are network effects associated with public transit usage, the same as road or bike lane usage. The more places you can get to by public transit, the more likely you are to take public transit to get there. The new rail corridors will make the city far more connected by transit, and thus potentially increase usage of transit.
Excellent write-up.

Key point is, no one truly looks at the efficacy of AML which makes it more theatre than crime-fighting tool (not that it doesn't fight crime, it just does not do so efficiently nor is it likely the best way to do so, let alone us defining broadly what crime actually is).

If these systems were re-designed from the ground up, AML procedures and policies would likely look quite different than they do today.
This is just not true. The real wages and wealth of those the the 10th to 98th percentiles of income have all grown since the period prior to the financial crisis. The real wages of those in the 10th-20th percentile have grown the most.

Pretty tools don't make me feel better. Useful tools help me do work, and finishing work makes me feel better. I have suffered at the hands of many a meddling UX designer over the years. The best tools I ever used personally were Perl CGI scripts with no styling at all. Just fast page loads and buttons that do what I need.
Yes. I've installed Geekbot on my team to run a bot run automated standup every day. We also have a weekly product org wide meeting to make sure people have a place to touch base on what everyone is working on, as well as cross functional standups for specific initatives.

I don't see the point of scrum masters unless they are customer facing, at which point they're a program manager. The whole point of scrum was to not have dedicated people running the process but rather to make it a process that any member or division in the org could apply.

From what I understand, in the case of the radon-contaminated nuclear worker, what they actually detected were the "radon daughters", the decay products of radon. Radon itself doesn't stick around very long, but when it decays it produces an atomic dust of polonium, lead, etc. That dust is what tripped the alarms.

Anything like that radioactive source from Australia would set of tons of alarms in a nuclear power plant. You wouldn't get it out the door. Incidents like that missing radioactive source in Australia happen where there are far fewer safeguards than at a nuclear power plant. Those sources generally go missing from abandoned medical equipment, food irradiation facilities, and that sort of thing. You'd be hard pressed to smuggle (let alone accidentally convey) something like a spent nuclear fuel pellet out of a power plant.
Isn't making a request for almost any user interaction a bit too much?

I am more in favour of BE telling FE what to render. I honestly believe many apps could be simplified with better abstractions than hard coding html into messy components. Not saying it's a great approach for super complex layouts, of course.
