IMO, I don't think this is a hard issue, at all. I don't think it's partisan, either - although it's (as ever) being wrapped up as such.

It seems to be blindingly obvious. Culture, art, writing - life, in fact - is of its time. It should be left alone. And we - as later, perhaps "better" (in some ways?) future generations - should examine these works and those times, and use this to encourage our own sense of morality and direction. We should use it to explain what went on - and in some cases to condemn, in others to reflect on what was better, and why.

To whitewash (sorry, oops, probably not supposed to..., ffs) this away and pretend things never happened IS censorship. It's the central tenet of 1984, or any dystopian vision, or that of dictatorships. This is the re-writing of history!

So - yes, we should have a "Black Boys Road" in Bristol, for example, and we should then use our museums and our history books to illuminate the horrors of slavery, the reality that Bristol was deeply involved in the slave trade, that Colston was a slaver - we should examine this deeply, and understand it, and condemn it in the strongest possible terms. But to just remove all the bits we find uncomfortable is a terrible error. It removes our means to question, our means to reflect. It's the same as talking about mental health issues in my opinion - if you hide shit away, the problem will never, ever resolve. The only way to get to any kind of resolution - painful though it is - is to talk about it.

All the above is a more general point about this terrible inflection point in our history where it seems certain people believe that All The Bad Things should be expunged, as if life can be made comfortable and easy, no bumps in the road here - and for god's sake don't "trigger me", I don't want to be sad... but in the Roald Dahl case, the example edits being quoted in the Spectator and other places are just so, so, SO misguided it hurts. I have teen children who can - and do - question the world, ask why things are as they are, point out the injustices of the past, know keenly what makes them (and others) sad. They're sometimes (gasp) sad themselves, and we work together to figure out what this means, and why. The world hurts sometimes, and we as humans need to learn how to deal with this stuff, without expecting some kind of sugar coated - and let's face it, insanely bland - landscape where everything is beautiful and happy and rose tinted all the time.

If society feels the need to flag things like Dahl as being "triggering" (I hate that word, what b/s) then so be it - ("The original work was written a long time ago and doesn't reflect many modern views") - but FFS leave the original work as it is.
Node might be faster to write, but harder to maintain in the long run, also is not as reliable as Go or Rust, I personally will pick Rust because I have experience with it, but AFAIK Go has a very good reputation, the only "difference" with Rust is the GC (I mean "difference", because Go performance is not that far off from Rust, and seems also easy to write in Go than in Rust).

Also IMHO it's better to have a strong typed language behind your project, if it will be big, dynamic languages and big projects tend to be a nightmare for me.
why wouldnt you recommend podman-compose?
"Go to bed at a good time" is not a good solution for someone whose body structurally just doesn't work that way. It'll always be worse than going to bed according to what is natural for you.
We’re not disagreeing though. I was contrasting using something like Laravel with just PHP. And it’s not just documentation and ecosystem. You also get a stable, nice foundation with a clear upgrade path that protects you from a wonky foundation.
I think rather than a world described here where “creators” (what a nauseating term) are terrified of being upstaged by AI, most are terrified by a world where AI can produce images that are 80% as good as a human but cost 99.999% less. It seems easy to imagine a world where almost all _economic_ gain from artistic endeavors is captured by a few companies, which would be both dangerous from a material perspective and frightening to imagine from a cultural perspective. What would our world look like if almost all art was compressed into sensibilities and values that flatter software engineers?
Democracy in the US has always been flawed. The situation has been steadily improving in some areas (voting rights) with set backs in other areas (gerrymandering, legalised bribery of politicians). There's a lot that needs to be done, but the US has always pointed in the direction of democracy.
Pretty much any modern runtime (Java/Go/Node w/ native bindings) can handle that many connections per machine. You probably want to horizontally scale it with kafka or similar, but anyway, a single machine will work to start.
Wanting to believe layoffs are selective is brainworms.

I've been watching the layoffs affect former colleagues, former workplaces, etc lately - and pretty much all of them are pseudorandom.

They're more evidence for the child rape accusations than any of the Russian claims. But you choose to believe one and not the other, I wonder why.

> And even if it was true, maybe if ukrainians did't overthow the goverment and replace it with neo-nazis, east ukrainians wouldn't want autonomy. Just sayin

So the Russians are allowed to invade and start a civil war because a government that didn't cow-tow to Russia constantly got into power?.

> why then they don't present it in any verifiable form to russia? Maybe it would help to prosecute such criminals. Just sayin.

Because Russia gives medals to the rapists, the torturers and the people who kill civilians so why would anyone bother.

> European countries are interested in smearing Russia. Like they say Nord stream blow up is russias doing, like its famous russian entertainment to first build billion dollar pipelines and then destroy them for no reason.

Russia has a lot of experience in blowing up pipelines, they have done it multiple times in the past, but as far as I know, no one government in Europe has come out and said who did it?.

> Stop blindly believing everything on the internet. Use your brain goddamit.

Stop blindly parroting Russian propaganda.

> only such video i've seen is when ukrainians tortured one of their own (who was rumored to be a pdf-file or something like that idk) they tried to frame it like russians were torturing ukrainian soldier, but it can be clearly seen in the video that their russian dress-up is sloppy to say the least.

A yes of course it's Ukrainains dressed up as Russians to blame for something. Not just the Russians being Russians.

This video was originally posted on a Pro Russian telegram, where the poster identified the person who was being castrated, and the person doing he castrating as Russian.

Why would a Pro Russian Telegram post that if it was fake.
>. If the elaboration is done by an AI your brain is doing zero work and thus not learning properly.

yup, it's basically stackoverflow copy-pasting on steroids. There's a reason John Carmack's ideal learning environment is to literally go to a cabin in the woods, read a bunch of papers and reimplement what he wants to learn from scratch.

I think there's two aspects to it. One is that you can't genuinely learn something until you really dig in. But also psychologically, tool assisted learning promotes a sort of learned-helplessness. It's sad how often I hear people say nowadays that they think they're not capable of sitting down with a foundational book and starting from the bottom up.
That's such an oversimplification.

What what's "a good time"? If you have lectures at 8:00am, explore this scenario:

- let's say it takes 30min from your home to the university

- let's say it takes you 15min to get ready (including shower)

- let's say it takes you 30min to have breakfast (10min preparation + 20min eating)

That means you need to leave home at least at 6:45. To sleep at least 8.5h, you'll need to go to bed at at least 10:15pm. I don't know you, but when I was younger, at 10:15pm I was feeling full of energy and couldnt go to sleep just like that.
I did in another comment. This is not unsubstantiated hate, but using PHP in anger in many projects and being responsible for maintenance, automation, testing, modernizing, refactoring, solving performance issues and so on.

I think this can replace docker-compose in deployment - if thats how you deploy and are willing to alter your workflow slightly.

I've done this for a while on small or disconnected systems, systemd + podman is very nice, the regular unit file generators are very usable + modifiable.

From the development side, the issue is unit files must be "installed", I can't just have a set of `x.service y.service" files and `systemd start $(pwd)/x.service`, so the overhead is a bit awkward there.

`podman play kubelet` is sort of there, except it doesn't support some networking options in the kubelet file, so its not a complete replacement.

Podman also includes support for running kubelet files via systemd but I don't use that myself.

I think ideally kubelet files with some extra podman annotations are the compose replacement, even if writing them isn't as pleasant as compose files. They you could `podman play kube x` to boot the dev stack and use the systemd-x-kubelet template to deploy.
Will edit the post to remove the quotes.

EDIT: Nope can't edit that. HN doesn't let me.

But I agree with you. By putting that statement in quotes, I implied that the OP had said that. And they didn't. Wasn't fair of me to do that. Apologies.
I still don't see how this more convenient than just using compose, or what do you gain for leaving it.
Let me be the first to call this what it is - a strongly written opinion piece.

It's a lifestyle choice - if you go to sleep at 11pm of course 8am classess will make you detest them will have no concentration. Especially true if you use your phone up until you fall asleep. I was a student until recently and can say most of the burden is unfortunately on us. From my experience students lock themself in their room listen to music/play games/scroll social media until midnight.
Instead of building a community where hanging out/studying with other students until lets say 8pm and then going to sleep would be the best for most students. When hanging out in groups you are filling our your need for socializing and more likely to regulate each other. When everyone is siloed in their own room you are more likely to see extreme disregulation like going to sleep at 1/2am on most days.

Not everyone is a morning person I will concede that much. But being a morning person, there is NOTHING that makes a day more cursed for me than waking up at 9AM when the sun is already up and most people are out and about.

In my opinion, what students (and all of us) need is universal digital hygene. A set of guidelines where we would finally be able to follow if we ever fall into disregulation. Not advocating for China style timeout lockdowns of your netflix/games, just a general set of guidelines so that if you stay up until 23pm /1am - it's your responsibility. Just like it's your responsibility to not regulate every other aspect of your life. You should be encouraged to be an adult.
Richest country in the world but apparently ungovernable according to some.

The problem is that the US isn't really trying, and there's a large movement that's actively trying to make the government worse. Fix that, and I think a lot of problems will disappear.
In “all-needs-met-ism” there is no wasted “bad” energy. People who don’t want to work go on permanent holiday. That’s where it gets psychologically interesting. How long do you holiday before you want to do something again?

I do concur we are far from it, but the moment we can do free energy print-on-demand anything, it will be possible. Every day the sun outputs energy we use in a year.
Shortage is usually forced to maintain the interest of specifically actors.

Look at the return to the office mandates from companies to "revitalise downtown" which is basically pushing for centralisation and forced scarcity/demand instead of increasing distributed offer.

There's too much power between governments and companies looking out for themselves to create scarcity that is valuable to them and detrimental to society and they interact and lobby each other while barely caring about the constituent or consumer.
The birthday explanation opens up the door to induction, too.
The takeaway for employers:

People putting out as much work in four days as they did in five. That must mean that the previous requirement was too low and should be increased.
It's a common problem on HN to have too little context. Even in the tech space, there is so many subdomains, that it's easy to get confused. It also doesn't help that often (not in this case, tho) writers assume you already know what they are talking about.

A couple of words of context (or maybe a "category tag"?) would be so much helpful, most of the time.
So many startups and AI-powered features are simultaneously down right now.

“the prospect of unprecedented cultural abundance”

More is not better.
There have been countless times when I was fighting with some margin / size issues, only to notice a * { box-sizing: border-box; } was breaking my expectations.

I learned CSS with the W3C / standard box model, in a time where we had to deal with the buggy IE behavior which was essentially box-sizing: border-box. Now, we have the choice of specifying which box model to use and is seems many people prefer box-sizing: border-box. I'm definitely used to the standard/default one more but odds are someone overridden this.

I don't know which one is better but now we have two existing box models, and depending on the project you work on, the default one depends on what was decided when starting it. It's weird, before it was depending on the browser in use, not the project :-)

I'm not sure how this interacts with libraries / components you import that might not expect such a global setting. I guess you have to be very defensive about this when writing a component. And it seems the expectation is that the component writer should be defensive rather than the website / app builder be careful not to break stuff with global rules. Which is also weird to me.

The spirit of the cascading styles was that you could style and customize everything and that stuff you import would adapt to your styling, but we are rejecting this idea by going out of our ways fool-proofing everything and making nothing customizable. I understand why (it's hard to support everything and ensure no breakage), but this still feels backwards to me.
Yeah I didn't really think before I typed that. If it requires you to install systemd files then it's not really equivalent.

I don't understand why they made it so complicated, if you have a file format just let the user run it from their CWD.
Text books also don't have a 100% correctness.
For sure; feel free to DM me on twitter transitive_bs
I'm pretty sure I never want to have anything to do with any of these concepts, no matter the syntax.
Most people making art do not need a financial incentive to do so.
I haven't used it for well over a year now but last time it had issues with networking.
That's like looking at distant synchronized clocks and concluding they communicate faster than light. Your wish to make it look nonlocal isn't supported by physics.

Yeah, the people are passing of other people's or AI's work as their own.

Imagine if they all had to attribute ChatGPT. The value of the AI would plummet to zero in those cases.

As a night owl who was forced to wake up early all the first two decades of his life to kindergarten, school or university, all I can say is “no shit, Sherlock”.

I didn’t even choose to be a late sleeper, that’s how I always was. Yet the worldwide conspiracy to wake up absurdly early for any important matter is really annoying /s. As I’m approaching my 40s and am lucky enough to have a flexible schedule, waking up early is still borderline painful for me, and if I don’t wake up late enough, my day is usually not as productive as I would want it to be, if not outright ruined. Glad to see my impressions of this global early morning stupidity /s being validated somewhat.

Add to that that there is already no shortage of digital abundance. This "AI Awesomeness" will only add its (abysmally low-quality by human standards) output to that, which makes it even more meaningless.

For what it’s worth, there isn’t much to learn with cloudflare pages. You grant it Oauth access to a particular repo, it builds master and serves the output directory. Only thing you specify is the build command and the output directory. For example “hugo build”/“npm run build” and directory “out/“.

I use it for a few reasons. I like that it’s free and the hosting of the static content is at the edge. They also take care of some things automatically, like compressing the assets once at build time and serving them with the right headers.

I don’t think this is unique. I believe netlify and others have similar offerings. These providers are excellent for the use case of serving static content at low latency and low cost.
> What would our world look like if almost all art was compressed into sensibilities and values that flatter software engineers?

I suspect then artists would create art that goes against these trends.

I don’t know much about art but I know there are sort of two kinds of art. Commercial art meant to be sold or to sell something. That stuff follows a lot of advertising trends and gives us stuff like Material Design and Marvel movies that all feel the same. That art is relatively uninspiring but it’s not really meant to be inspiring. That stuff will be significantly affected by AI because AI art is cheap and it looks kinda okay and it’s easy to copy popular styles.

And then there’s art made by weird artists that buck trends and try to make some kind of statement that isn’t really being said. (Horrible over generalization but hopefully you get my meaning.) That art will thrive in a world where most commercial art is even more soulless than it already is.
> but the claim made by several people in that thread (at least one who said they are a hiring manager) that Databricks has recently hired multiple people who were laid off is verifiable as true or false

How exactly, again, did you verify their identity as a hiring manager?
You’re probably right but it’s interesting to think of a world where everything can be printed on demand for example (assuming extraction and recycling with zero friction)
Glad I don't have any essays due! :) /s
That's the "Linux Server Singleton" pattern from the FA, isn't it? I find it surprising that it's in 3rd position. While SSG looks simple enough to merit the first position, going with the Cloudflare serverless proposition as the next step for beginners feels strange to me. I think you would be able to "graduate" to serverless-edge functions after you grok the traditional web client/server approach, not before.
> The question is how to bridge the gap from where we are now to there.

Someone needs to be chosen to act as a liaison between AI and humanity. Perhaps a short, stocky, bald person such as Jean-Luc Picard. If he is not available, George Costanza will suffice.
There are facts about experiences. What is the experience of a fourth primary color? We're in a similar position to Mary before she leaves the room.

No, they're from various parts of the world, not just former colonies. Amsterdam has sizeable populations from Morocco, Turkey and Ghana, none of which were ever Dutch colonies. All those groups suffer from racism and poverty to various degrees.
> "Don't go outdoors or you might be a victim of a mass shooting like I see in the news almost every day", and you say "that doesn't reflect the reality here"

The initial example I gave was this: "caste discrimination exists". The response I see is "oh no that isn't real".

That's like someone saying "mass shootings occur in the USA" and me saying "oh no those aren't real"

A white American could say "racism is a thing of the past or is an issue somewhere else, because I don't experience it on a day to day basis". That's what your reply makes me think of

> How can I or anyone prove a negative? I can only offer my life experiences

You're trying to use your own experience to speak on someone else's behalf with respect to discrimination that you've admitted to never experiencing. Even trying to prove a negative in this context is missing the point entirely
I agree that some of this can be exciting to some, but (novelty aside) AIs promote mediocrity, not awesomeness.
Well yes, tribalism was a survival trait why is why conformity is so deeply ingrained in human minds and social organization.

That said, in India caste (varna and jati) correlate with genetic clusters that have maintained for millennia by higher levels of endogamy than, say, Ashkenazi Jews:

“What the data were showing us was that the genetic distinctions among jati groups within India were in many cases real, thanks to the long-standing history of endogamy in the subcontinent. People tend to think of India, with its more than 1.3 billion people, as having a tremendously large population, and indeed many Indians as well as foreigners see it this way. But genetically, this is an incorrect way to view the situation. The Han Chinese are truly a large population. They have been mixing freely for thousands of years. In contrast, there are few if any Indian groups that are demographically very large, and the degree of genetic differentiation among Indian jati groups living side by side in the same village is typically two to three times higher than the genetic differentiation between northern and southern Europeans. The truth is that India is composed of a large number of small populations.”
