This article is spot on. As a developer, I don't want to see the build step. As soon as you expose the mechanics of the build and transpilation process to developers, you add a ton of complexity; for example, it opens up the possibility of transpiler and JS engine version incompatibilities. Devs should only need to concern themselves with one number; the version of the engine which runs their code. If they need to worry about the engine version and the transpiler version separately, it makes code less portable because you can't just say "This library runs on Node.js version x.x." It sucks to come across a library which works on your engine version but relies on a newer version of TypeScript... It's like hoping for the planets to align sometimes.

I'm jumping into a django/react project right now and found that there's so much hassle from integrating frontend + django + livereload + deployment. This repo is a good example.

This is the same problem Excel has.

It's a horror show that you can run a major bank on it... but also not, because you can run it pretty well.
Except with debit the risk is now back on me to make sure my PIN doesn't get stolen/skimmed/whatever. Transactions are less convenient than a single tap, and (at least in the US) requires paying attention to see if places even support debit.

Ironically, many smaller shops don't support it, even though it would theoretically be cheaper per-transaction, because the up-front costs and hurders are higher than a Square account.

Co-founder here. Cloudfront, API Gateway and lambda all came a bit later (weeks to months later). They were incremental improvements and quite easy to set-up. Sure we could have used DynamoDB or any other database but in practice you never just need a database.

Sheets gives us an admin tool, BI tool, Charting, 'ETL', simple schema changes, etc. all-in-one.

Note we actually still use Google Sheets for some things like storing the list of companies. Just today, I needed a quick way to summarize the description of each company into a few words. I installed an add-on for =GPT() formula. Within a few minutes I had done ETL, column addition, made API calls, etc. 0 code.
There are only two Type-C cables assemblies. Fully featured one, and USB 2.0 one (doesn't carry superspeed and sideband signals).

Appart from that, all cables support 3 amperes. So unless you want more for some reason, USB 2.0 vs 3.x is all you need to care about. Only USB 3.0 cables will work for all use cases.

5A cables are less physically flexible, but more efficient regardless of whether the devices need 5A or not. 3A/5A distinction just affects energy transfer efficiency.

So there are only two axes of parameters to decide about, and only one affects functionality and only USB 2.0 cable option will be functionally limiting.

Similar concerns apply if you want Type-C legacy cable (with non-type-C connector on one side). But that's straying away from the type-c only world, anyway.
4.7m / 4734 residents is just under $1k per resident. I'd love to have $1k back for the purchase of my e-bike. I hesitated a bit on my decision to purchase an e-bike, but that would have made it an instant buy now decision. I'm okay with the initial price I paid for mine, and then the additional add-ons I bought once I realized how much I could do with the thing. It's always my luck to miss out on the free money from the gov't just like the covid payouts.
E bikes are amazing for getting around. Did it for years before moving inner city and just walking.

The major issue I had was the fear of theft as e-bikes are stolen regularly and cost a lot to replace.
Agreed on compliance part – of course, in many cases (not in all though) PII must not be in dev/test envs.

Although, cannot agree with the former part. If your tests are running 2 days on a full size clone, and it's an OLTP case, what about users, do they suffer from long query duration too? It sounds like it's time to optimize queries and/or redesign test sets (or both).

If it's bad in testing, it will be bad in prod. That's the idea of testing.

Example: how do you check schema changes?

I can't tell if you're intentionally misconstruing here, but assuming you're not - you would not be in a position of explaining to Spanish people why they are wrong and are really one thing or another (Also I assume you mean hispanic people, or Spanish-speaking people?) You'd be explaining the reasoning behind the modern use of the term, and allowing them to decide for themselves how to engage with it.

The idea isn't to design a new armband that you require people of a particular group to wear each week - the idea is to ask those people what they want, and then respect them when they answer you.

If someone says they identify as Latinx, then you identify them as Latinx. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that. It's not about the enforcement of identity, *it's about the deconstruction of traditionally enforced identities in the first place*, it's about exploring the creation of new identities outside of the bounds of conservative tradition.
It’s also a waste of time and money, to be spent defending an obviously indefensible law.

It seems high as the costs of depreciation are hidden. Also, depending on how the average is calculated, it might include stupidly expensive cars alongside cheapies. But the upshot is that owning a car is expensive.
Welcome to the internet, I guess. The only way science websites get clicks is with these idiotic titles. Ignore them, read the article, judge it on the actual text's merit.
The beauty of bringing html into js (eg react) is because now we have type support for the entire FE stack. Not to mention the extremely useful view is a function of state paradigm.

What you are suggesting sounds something like golang templates and css. That works fine but you can’t easily get types in your templates. It’s a game changer when you have typescript at your disposal for your templates.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean by this? Adding a LoRA?
Sure it has. Look up the auto unions in Detroit.

The company caved to union demands back in the 70’s (if you're laid off you get 100% free health care for life).

I knew families where guys were laid off at 30 and had amazing health insurance plans for the rest of their life.

Something like 60% of labor costs were retiree benefits.
The idea that we should "seek out those other forms" is a huge retreat from the statement:

> I'm fine with companies making a profit (I think). But I want them taxed in a way that removes their control over the bulk of these resource allocation decisions.

Do you think we should increase corporate taxes to "the bulk of" a company's resources (implying, at a minimum, more than half)?

Or are you just frustrated by this instance of what seems like obvious waste, but on further consideration still admit that leaving the bulk of resource allocation decisions to the market is the best idea we collectively have?
> It's a crime for an employer to withold any portion of a tip from the employees

> if you have boss/manager/employer who is taking tips ("fees", "penalties", excuse less theft), you should talk to an employment lawyer.

Can you spell out the common scenario where it's fairly trivial for an employee to right this wrong? A good place to start might be the employment lawyer who works on contingency for the most common tip-withholding scenarios.

yeah but if your org has orchestration tooling built around k8s, in a way it becomes much easier to provision a DB with k8s, setup the service, routing, networking, roles, etc than it would be in terraform. especially if you have to repeat this process in like 20 envs (stage, prod) x multiple regions

I feel really fortunate to have made these transitions without much turmoil (though I would argue the costs of doing so are quite high relative to people I know who have had a more linear path).
I think my point still stands if you replace "apps" with "functionality" - they're still reimplementing from scratch and without much resources nor expertise something that Android has a (correct me if I'm wrong) permissively-licensed, mature & battle-tested implementation of they could just use.

I don't think using permissively-licensed Android components wouldn't compromise user freedom and would actually increase it because it would put a non-user-hostile, freedom-respecting, usable phone in the market right now. You can just patch out or choose to not include the user-hostile bits (though most of those wouldn't be part of the open-source release in the first place).

Of course, this only applies if the objective is to deliver a usable, competitive product rather than practice effectively useless ideological bikeshedding similar to the war on systemd and refuse the admit that the typical GNU/Linux userspace is at this point prehistoric and significantly lacking compared to other alternatives (whether proprietary or open-source such as Android).
The NY Post on HN? Gross.
A few percent of a second is a few milliseconds, so no worries there, that's at the very edge of "audio visual desync" perception. For huge bundles, of course, a few percent of a few seconds can hit 100ms or more, but even that's barely noticable compared to how long we're already waiting for the bundle to download.

The bulk of the argument in favour of ESM in a "bundle vs ESM" comparison is in the cost of downloading updates: redownloading a individual ESM files (even several of them) is going to be appreciably faster than redownloading an entire bundle (even if the dependencies are split out into their own chunks and don't change).

1GB of spreadsheet storage would be enough for a grand total of 4 spreadsheets for a lot of use cases of some teams at my company.
Lifestyle is certainly a factor, but the bigger thing is the safety net one has built (or is in the process of building) for themselves, which depending on place of living can be crucial.

In the US where I live and the public safety net is rather thin for example, one could downsize income in pursuit of better work life balance and be getting along fine, but wind up in trouble when say major medical expenses strike and chew through income and start eating through savings.

So even if I started living extremely frugally I wouldn’t feel comfortable moving to part-time until I have enough padding to not be completely financially ruined by a series of unfortunate events. Of course this is possible even working full-time, but the increased income that brings improves the situation considerably.
Honestly this is not great efficiency. While getting more people of the road is great, the CO2e avoided per dollar is magnitiudes less than what can be done at the private company level.

$4.77M for 2,040 MT CO2e reduced/avoided yearly

My company was able to install a abatement unit that reduced >4,000 MT CO2e yearly for ~$150K. We are doing many more of these, but the cost is way better on a per lb level than this waste of money.

If we are going to get serious about emissions reduction, stop the feel good measures and focus on where it will make the most impact.
Yes I am, because the article opens with it's conclusion and then steadfastly ignores data regarding serious crimes being perpetrated about the age group it claims to be worried about.

Trick in SF is to not be a software developer. I've gotten far batter results being a jobless homeless guy living out of his car than being a software developer at $BIG_CO living in a big pad making low single `N` digit 1/N MM/yr. Variety is the spice of life or something idk.
Yeah, I remember when I sold my Honda Civic in 2010 they charged a couple hundred bucks to transfer the extended warranty I bought. Why? Presumably because they could. If it was $15 to cover the cost of updating their computer system, fine. But hundreds? That's just extortion.
Insurance is pretty cheap though. My ~$2.5k e-bike's insurance for no-questions-asked replacement in the case of theft is $12/month. Probably higher in high-crime areas but still, nothing compared to auto insurance.
I had a horrific support experience due to a product (it was a predecessor to Colab that they eventually just cancelled) that was (due to a bug that they eventually fixed) triggering the startup of expensive instances randomly that cost hundreds of dollars a week to run. I couldn't get any help, until I eventually out of desperation found a BigQuery evangelist on a Reddit forum who escalated my issue.

It's blatantly obvious that Google's culture is completely broken, and they are incapable of hiring people who don't think they're too brilliant and amazing to be customer support. They care about their advertising printing press and everything else is secondary.

Tensorflow was the first out of the gate, quickly got its ass handed to it by PyTorch, and then they just imitated Pytorch, but in a crappy, crowded API kind of way.
Angular is hilarious in a sad, pathetic, "wow that guy still thinks he's doing something useful, doesn't he realize nobody cares" kind of way.

Colab: "We have paid plans! If you pay, it will be only semi-useless!" (I tried the paid version, utterly useless compared to Paperspace)

If anyone from Google is reading this, sorry, but you work at a company that is rotting like early 2000s Microsoft. Even my highly non-technical wife was asking me the other day if I had noticed how shitty the search engine is now.

BTW, am I the only one who bought a Google Home speaker and used to listen to Youtube podcasts on it, only to have a software update make it so that now I can't even use Chromecast to send any Youtube video's audio to my speaker? Really awesome Google. First time in my life I've purchased a product and had it literally lose features a year after I bought it. Also, Google Meet sucks, and has become increasingly bug ridden over the years.

The US private healthcare system will be inefficient because it tries to apply market solutions across the board for a problem that isn’t well served by the market.

Yet it’s extraordinarily inefficient because the private sector fights against any level of price-of-service transparency, which means even market forces cannot and do not apply.

This problem has been well-studied and the solutions (more than one) are also well-known.

The magic wand here is the blinders that have been pulled by politicizing healthcare.
> - Average Insurance ~ $1,771 per year

> - Average Car Monthly Loan ~ $700 per month

Both of these are crazy high. Maybe not for everyone, but 1771 per year for insurance you should be shopping around or using a broker. And a car payment of 700, that is up to the buyer, but IMHO that is absurdly high.

"Dating opportunities for heterosexual men are diminishing as relationship standards rise."

"Men need to address skills deficits to meet healthier relationship expectations."

The expectation out of young men is a lot higher. The presumption of a wife because you're employed and generally clean is gone.

There is a dark edge to this whinging which ends up in the "the government should enforce wifes for men" area whic his really messed up.

That is a requirement for the DMA. It specifically calls out "virtual assistants" and being able to replace the default like with browsers.
This is too reactive approach, isn't it?

Imagine a system that could do this in CI/CD pipelines:

1) first, run all the tests on a tiny DB as usual
2) extract queries
3) run them against full-size DB branch/thin clone (thin provisioning, CoW; PII is not there of course, wiped out for security/compliance) -- auto-guessing parms, that's the trickiest part, but assume it's solved
4) collect all the details about performance, focusing on IO numbers (rows, block read/writes)
5) if some queries are off – say, you forgot LIMIT – post a warning, block the change, do not allow deploying it, letting backend dev fix it.

This would be proactive. And it's becoming possible with modern tools.
Uh, if only there existed a neutral, owned-by-no-one, decentralized monetary network with instant low-cost transfers and finality.

Too bad this sort of stuff is out of science fiction.

Based on consumption in my garage: if its 1 car, it's about $0.10 / kWh. If it's for all your garage's electric cars, say, 2, then about $0.05 / kWh. Not bad. Of course, there is a ~$0.05 / kWh TDU flat fee, which would be added to that.

I wish it was that simple.

If it truly was like ordering a meal or picking some clothes I’d easily just swipe through profiles, pick a woman that meets all my criteria and have her delivered to my door so we can get to know each other and start our life together, raising kids and living a rich life of luxury funded by tech money.

Instead it’s more like ordering food, except the restaurant never makes it, or the door dasher eats your meal, or the order was wrong, or you get food poisoning and spend the night hugging a toilet vomiting your guts out. And when you go to write your review, it’s flagged and deleted. So you decide to just cook at home.
Wow, I didn't realize the average price for a new car was so high! Are people mostly buying electrics, full sized pickup trucks and luxury cars these days? Whatever happened to mid-sized and compact cars?

Interestingly just looked and old frumpy minivans are right up there in price too!!

Thats pretty cool, the datadomain appliance is actually really cool and I definitely appreciate its existence.

I definitely feel like we were using it wrong and I’m not entirely convinced it was my fault.

In my ideal scenario I would have had a weeks worth of point in time backups on a machine in the rack, and replicated the contents to the DD after verification.

Sadly I was denied that “in-rack” solution and was sold the datadomain solution (without it being named) as if it was simply a remote disk, not a fancy appliance.

the main point I tried (and failed) to convey in the article is that a solution can be brilliant and expensive but that doesn't mean its what you meed for the job at hand.

Florida has basically thrown out any respect for the 14th Amendment application of certain rights (particularly free speech and free press) to the States in favor of state imposed ideological codes and is daring people to try to challenge it, knowing that is costly, time consuming, and uncertain given the current ideological balance of the US Supreme Court.
Nobody is perfect. If this is the only thing that bothers you, then answer something like "I make enough to live a comfortable life, I can't complain", or some other generic stuff like that.

Good old "we spent $1m on it" fallacies. "Exactly, we spent a million on a backup solution that's objectively bad, and we spent 100 times that on the actual code we're trying to secure. So: do we want to have wasted a trivial $1m by redoing the backup part, or do we want to have wasted $100m because of a terrible pretend-backup solution? Because this should be a business no-brainer".
