Gonna plug our setup which is Justfiles[1] and turborepo.

Just is a task runner (with full shell integration) that calls our turborepo tasks.

We define all of our tasks in one justfile (things like repo setup, syncing env vars, and compiling dependencies) and then link them to turbo processes which cache the result.

Massively reduced our cognitive load working with our monorepo, and is lightning fast.

If we ever want to change it will be simple to remove both, so we're not tied to the ecosystem.

It can be necessary to get flow hashing on high volume server A : server B communications (especially if you're running aggregated interfaces and are using multiple connections). If you need that in a 3-tuple hashing environment, you're going to need to apply many addresses to one or both servers, which is going to cause problems with arp/ndp cache sizes. Maybe that's ok if you just route a /64 to each server and don't use NDP inside the /64; but you probably need to work on the server OS to work with many addresses well, things get a little shifty there.
I feel much the same way. I love that feeling of deep familiarity you only get with a codebase that has some years behind it and you sharing multiple of those years with it. You get things like when a bug report comes in, and just from the description you can immediately realize some niche interaction that they've stumbled upon.
Haha, this is why sometimes people don't really like "five whys" - you can get to an uncomfortable place pretty quickly...

Q1. Why was the service down for so long?
A1: Because the on-call engineer didn't respond to the pager

Q2: Why didn't the on-call engineer respond?
A2: Because they're exhausted from being on-call so often since the team was downsized

Q3: Why was the team downsized?
A3: Because the manager's manager's manager is reducing headcount this year?

Q4: Why is the manager's manager's manager reducing headcount?
A4: Because they're trying to bring the departments spend down for the year

Q5: Why are they trying to bring the spend down?
A5: Because they know their boss, the CTO, is interviewing at the moment. And the CFO is golf buddies with the CEO, and the CFO is always going on about improving efficiency. So if the manager's manager's manager can reduce spend this year it'll look really efficient to the CFO, and maybe they can line-up that CTO role when their boss leaves.

At this point I just don’t see how it’s anything other than control or sunk cost of office space.
> If you do the math that doesn't always work out.

I disagree. But it depends on how less the remote companies pay. Are we talking about 80% of the salary of a RTO company? 60%? 30%?

The close it gets, the better the math works out for remote companies. Moving away from metropolitan areas incurs in a huge decrease of expenses, and a huge increase in quality of life. But of course, it depends on the salary you'd make working remote.

It is. Note that it takes some skill at writing to do a self answered question well. Often these falls into either:

1. Lots of material in question. Very simple unexplained answer.

2. Sparse material in question. Want to be multi part blog in the answer.

Neither of those are received well.

The key is to have a question that is good, helpful, and reproducible by others too (so they can try it out or find it if they have similar problems) and enough, but not too much detail in the answer. The answer is the tricky part because people get caught with not explaining anything because they already understand the domain in the question or explaining every nuance of the solution even though it is unnecessary for the solution itself.

It’s no coincidence the discoverer of nonlocality John Bell insisted on clear beables (ontology) of the theory. It’s not philosophy to posit what exists. Be careful because doing it your way may require future disentangling as mathematical existence and physical existence are usually quite dissimilar. Only using mathematical definitions for physical theories is bound to create future tangles. And who knows when the next Bell will come along to disentangle the operational mess.

If we're talking imperative/functional/OOO kind of thing, I'd go

Imperative programming: Tell the computer what to do step by step.

Procedural programming: Usurp the kingdom of the imperative, organize imperative halmets into fiefdoms. Call each one a "procedure".

OOO programming: Usurp the kingdom of the procedure. Gather the fiefdoms of procedures into a baronry called "Objects instantiated from Classes" where each object manages its own state and affairs.

Functional programming: Defeat the heresy of OOO! Changes to state should be strictly controlled from a single source of truth! Hack, slash, pew pew.
Like a lot of people in high-level positions in organizations, whom we often credit with "creation" of various things. Often they receive far more credit than the ones who did the actual work.

Famous painters who just sketch in the piece and let nameless assistants "draw the rest of the fucking owl", producers who don't do much but get to claim a lot of credit, musical "artists" who don't write their music or play any of the instruments on their albums (that'd be work for some nameless musicians or, these days, maybe just a studio engineer with some electronics), choose their own clothes for public appearances ("they're just so creative, don't you think? What provocative choices!") or really do much more than provide some raw material to an autotune system for the vocals it will produce, and learn dance moves that someone else came up with.

Uncredited script-fixers. The ghost-written "autobiography". The shared-pen-name or author-as-a-brand (but ghost writers do all the first drafts). The authentic and personal self-promoting blog where all the post-writing is actually outsourced.

Politicians who call each other traitors on the radio then go golf together that same afternoon, and don't even bother to bring it up.

It's all fake as hell already. Kayfabe. Pro Wrestling is as real as most of it (so, not at all)

Now everyone can be the do-nothing "idea guy" producer and take all the credit. Democratization of artistic parasitism. The meatless alternative to exploiting actual humans. Truly, the brink of a revolution.

You could have DaVinci syndrome. Leonardo DaVinci had many unfinished side-projects, and I imagine was overwhelmed by that.

They could just be a learning exercise or a prototype, and then discarded.

In the bit of Big Blue that I worked in this is what we did.

You only updated the later year if you made a non-insignificant change to a file. Fixing a simple typo in a comment wasn’t enough, nor was just reformatting/moving code. Fixing a bug, changing a user visible string, refactoring, adding a new feature, etc and you’d bump the “to” year.

I think there was also some kind of magic rule that you could put the next year (e.g. 2023) from some point late in the current year, something like you could add 2023 if it was November 2022 or later.

Don’t think I ever saw these “rules” formally written down so everything was just a kind of folklore passed on from one generation of devs to the next.

Copyright years in version/help output was definitely updated as part of the build/release process.

Thanks for the support! I'm Ege, one of the co-founders of Permify.

About the diffs, right now there are some approach differences on some features such as modeling, data filtering, auditing, etc but the main difference is we’re a fully tenancy-based solution, which gives the ability to customize the authorization for each tenant's specific needs.

Particularly, in Permify you can create custom authorization schema and relation tuples accordingly for the different tenants and manage them in a single place. We're highly invested in building and managing custom roles and permissions as a part of fine-grained access control.
There are a lot of people on Stack Overflow who struggle to tell if an existing answer is an answer to their question or not. They might copy something verbatim from an answer and have it not work because their shell is configured differently, there's a separate bug in their code, or even because they accidentally copied a PHP code snippet into a Javascript file, and whether through laziness or genuine confusion, they simply post the errors back to SO saying the answer doesn't work for them.

People these days are taught to always seek help as soon as they encounter difficulties, and I think they feel like as long as they're asking for help, then they're doing the right thing and deserve to have their problem solved. But when they need somebody to work through multiple issues with them, in multiple layers of their setup, and there's quite a lot they don't understand that's unrelated the concrete question they posed, then that crosses the line of relevancy to the question asked, as well as the line of what most SO contributors are willing to do. Most people who answer a Stack Overflow question do it because they're happy to take a few minutes out of their day to share their knowledge, not because they want to a second job as an unpaid private tutor. If someone needs that level of support, then they should ask another developer on their team, ask a teacher at their school, hire a tutor, etc.

Obviously there are a lot of circumstances where it's good to give back and give someone a little bit of extra help, but if you need someone to help you debug your Dockerfile, that discussion doesn't belong on a question about Python asyncio, and it doesn't justify posting the same question again and again because copy-pasting the original answers didn't solve your problem.
Ask HN: Photo Storage for Travelers
Hi there,

I am not a professional photographer or videographer, but I am a Software Engineer that works remotely and trying to travel as much as possible. I have a drone, a 360 action camera, a mirrorless camera, a phone - I took a lot of photos and video. There is no commercial background therefore I don't want to spend $$$ on TB of storage. And internet bandwidth usually not so good to upload everything immediately. Therefore I am using the following setup.

Traveler Storage:

1. Single Board Computer (Raspberry PI) with armbian on the board.
2. External 5TB HDD from Costco.
3. Automount and autobackup script.
4. gocryptfs (but key is not stored securely currently on my side).
5. Resilio Sync to backup all my data to the remote storage

I connect it to the Etherenet and put into USB power supplier when I traveling. I am thinking to create some app for Android that can connect over Bluetooth and send WiFi password to connect to wifi network instead of dealing with Ethernet.

Remote Storage setup:
1. Single Board Computer (RPi4) with Armbian
2. External 5TB HDD.
3. Resilio Sync to backup media files from the "Traveler Storage".
4. Tailscale to be able to connect remotely.

Questions:
1. Is there a better alternative to my setup? Especially for hotels when internet are really bad?
2. If no, do creators need this thing to be in production? Does it make sense to start a kickstarter company?
Right, but you can see it’s a bit fuzzy on what the thing actually is, very possibly because they themselves weren’t quite clear about that. The feel-good wording could sort of be made to fit a forum if they wished, but ultimately they didn’t. (Or possibly the homepage of SO at the time was the place that contained the actual description.)
Still requires insurance, inspections, place to park it, maintenance, etc.

Surely you agree that there are situations in which Lyft/Uber wind up cheaper.

The question does not rely on external links. The links just provide optional additional context (about how to use a custom URL scheme and what DRY is). The question has the ios, xcode and swift tags, so even without the links, it is pretty clear what the asker is looking for.

Me too. While I have some doubts, I also think that the US is not unprepared for a scenario where nukes are flying. I think Russia is still a significant threat, but also that the US has, given their budget, developed/implemented technology the public doesn't even know about to counter this possibility. In fact, I would be beyond shocked if the US hasn't developed anything like that.

I certainly would like to not be in a scenario where the public finds out about possible technology like this, because it would probably mean war has already broken out.
Depending on your reputation, the rules keep changing and you may or may not be allowed today.
I think it's worth considering that, in the US, the ultimate leap from 5 to 4 day work weeks would require a change in labor laws to mandate full-time status and overtime pay cutoff at 32 hours/week. Close to 60% of US workers are hourly. I can't predict all of the ramifications from that kind of change, but I have to imagine it would largely benefit workers. I wish we had a major political party that was at least willing to start the conversation. We all know this "40 hours" nonsense is just historical happenstance, not some ideal or even well-reasoned number, let alone balanced in the interest of the overwhelming majority (working people).
I'm not sure if there wasn't a time it was a collection of fiefdoms honestly, at least for the social web.

My reference point is mostly 2000s era internet forums, and that was certainly a time of admins of forums going on power trips over their little meaningless slice of the internet.
This problem does not seem unique to AI.

Uhh. So, this point to a book called Less is More — How Degrowth Will Save the World. In that book this statement is indeed made, and as a source it points to "Andre Gorz, Capitalism, Socialism, Ecology, trans. Chris Turner (London: Verso, 1994).". But in that book I can't find any reference to it. Was is completely made up?
> And photography is largely dying thanks to the smartphone.

I am not so sure about this statement. I would argue that photography has possibly been more prolific than it has been in the past.

If you mean "manual photography where the user manipulates shutter speed, ISO, and aperture" then I still am unsure about this as Instagram is a huge boon to that industry as well.
The FIDO Alliance can recommend whatever they want, but making multiple passkeys is not a substitute for import/export. It's a backup strategy for what happens if a device gets lost, it doesn't make it any easier to set up new devices.

Backup is an orthogonal problem to migration, and it's really weird that the FIDO alliance keeps treating them like they're the same problem.

You're still looking at a scenario here where if you buy a new phone without any passkeys on it and it's in a different ecosystem, you have to manually migrate every single site you have an account with. That's a huge accessibility problem for ordinary people, that's absolutely going to hinder adoption.

I agree with parent to your comment. It's not a different view if they've branded themselves with the first words of their site.

To defend this as "different views" when their brand clearly suggest otherwise is, I believe, a bit disingenous. To the parent commenter's point, the community friction and aggressive closure of "seeming" but poorly identified duplicates are compounded by often poor searchability on the site itself. So the issue really is the gatekeeping that occurs by moderators who are operating against the vision the site itself communicate (Ed: regardless of how consistently or inconsistently the vision is current or historically communicated).
