Ecosystem and knowledge.

Linux has been the go-to OS for servers for so long, it supports every scenario from simple home labs to high performance webservers, complex multi node service orchestration, globally distributed data stores, you name it.

Also, I don't know how to do simple stuff in Windows land such as using Powershell or how to harden a sever instance. Like I don't even know how permissions, users and processes work in Windows.

Given the effort involved in learning a new OS and the risk of using something proprietary (from Microsoft, a company that has acted in bad faith consistently over the years), it would take a HUGE upside in something like performance, ease of use, etc... for me to make this movement.
1 has nothing to do with "corporate elites," who do not control housing pricing or schooling by any reasonable measure. I don't accept the premise of 2 that there is any degradation in communications except from folks who are new to remote work. 3 will never happen because there are too many people who acknowledge the positives of remote work starting companies and in technical leadership of good companies. There will always be 100% remote and 100% remote+async companies from now on.

There is a genuine improvement in the ability of algorithms to understand, retrieve and generate knowledge.

The tooling around an area that impacts the daily life of knowledge workers (probably everyone on this site) just got much better.

Crypto was overhyped; this does not seem to be the case.
I get it. The man pages for GPG are like reading War And Peace, whereas the man pages for Age is easily digestible. I too use Age for certain things, but have to use GPG in some of my workflows. But I find it no harder than some insane Helm chart values.yaml files, or some crazy assed Terraform runs with a tfvars file that has hundreds of lines to merely spin up a bucket or vpc. It's just another tool that you need to config and understand.

> But for the SSH key use case, none of this matters.

Agreed.
This is a very simplistic view of the situation. It doesn't usually work like that in the real world.

In the company I left few years ago I was a lead developer in a department which started with me alone, then at times grew up to four developers and shrank to just two.

Here's what it looked like: we were almost always advertising a position in my department, and about once a week I had to meet another Python developer with X years of experience in infra, who was barely literate... No, really, it was that bad.

After each such interview, I had to go back to my boss and decide whether we should give this guy / girl a chance, or should we spend more time and money looking for more candidates. I tried both strategies. I tried to hold out until we find a better candidate, and we were simply wasting time running in circles. I tried to advocate hiring someone simply on a basis that they looked promising. I had to promise my boss to bring them up to speed, and that was a year of misery of dealing with someone who made such a painstakingly slow progress, being such a huge time sink that in the end I had to abandon that person to have at least something done.

Infra projects, especially in large-scale products tend to be this way. Outside, theres' a huge pool of "Python programmers", but most of them are really "Django programmers", they have no idea how computers work, and will require years of mentorship to obtain that knowledge. Few will see that as valuable as it's not a common enough requirement. Few will have the determination or passion to get to the point where they are confident and independent that they may continue their education on their own.

On the other hand, those who gained such experience don't like infra jobs for the very reason that they end up recruiting novice programmers and leave for more system-like jobs. And this dynamic affects every department both at a macro and at a micro level: people either learn how to be good and leave, or they never do and get replaced by the next batch.

In the end, it's fairly typical that infra department will be "carried" by a single employee who's spend ages working there + a number of younglings who come and go never contributing anything of note. I wouldn't say it's a management problem. Infra isn't the only department which sees that kind of dynamics. QA is pretty much the same way. Front-end used to be more like that, but I don't know what the situation is today. It's caused by the pathological relationship which reinforces itself with time that prevents expertise from growing both locally in an org and generally in the field.
Very nice! How do you make paper?
If we start with the assumption that the cost of childcare is costly enough that it would lead to an unacceptable drop in living standards for the average couple, and then force them to pay that cost anyway (regardless of whether they actually have children) it is unlikely that the follow up is going to be the couple having kids. They'll probably be busy desperately working to get their living standard up to a state that is bearable.

It isn't cheaper to raise kids. They're actually losing more under the socialised system because they still have to give up enough resources to raise the kids and now also to cover inefficiencies in the government program. On average everyone would be worse off. Or you're going to be taxing grandma so instead of her providing helpful childcare services she has to go and work at McDonalds to make up the difference or something. Society is geared towards supporting children already - routing the resources through the state or through the family can't make it easier. Men work to support families, women work to support families, grandparents have nothing better to do than support families. The resources were already tagged to support families. The government can't magic more resources into existence if raising kids is expensive. They'd be taxing families so instead of using the resources to support their families, the resources are being ... handed out to support families. There are no gains, so it isn't going to help.

State spending can reallocate; I can see some potential success in using childcare to free up high performing parents. But if the problem is median experience, reallocation can't do much.

Postscript The taxes in these countries are no joke. Young families are losing a lot more to the tax system than the "free" childcare makes up for. If you traded the free childcare for paid childcare and low taxes, they'd likely be in a much better position to have kids. [Taxes] approx. = [Cost of Services] + [Admin Costs] + [Cost of Rorts]. That isn't making it easier to fund a family.

Sure, you did the math for local solar only.

But if you add in existing hydro + nuclear, a good proportion of wind (which is more consistent and stronger at night), some good long distance interconnects, and a modicum of storage, the number comes out a lot smaller.

Many have tried. The upshot is, it is either not as cool as it is in our heads if you get it, or it isn't as easy as it is in our heads.

You don't even really need s-expressions to do what you're talking about. You can do it off of any grammar, which all current programming languages have[1]. S-expressions are slightly easier, but they aren't easier in the place where the real problem lies. The real problem lies in the fact that the code isn't shaped the way you think it is and it isn't as nice as you think it is and it turns out nearly every attempt to project code into something other than our current plain text representation flounders on the pathological nature of source code.

Personally I think this is a fundamental problem, but there is an avenue to where I would be wrong. If somebody who respected text and understood why it is currently so dominant, in a positive sense, also took on the task of trying to transcend it based on that understanding, perhaps they could find something, revealing the current lack of such editors to be accidental after all. But as long as the only rebels trying it also labor under the crippling error that text is a weakness that needs to be discarded as quickly as possible, rather than the only methodology currently known to be even remotely strong enough to support our programming endeavors [2], they're never going to get anywhere in trying to deploy a system that for anyone to be even remotely interested in it pretty much has to immediately be able to scale up to some reasonably fraction of what text editors already do.

I find it telling that the stickiest such effort I've seen to date is literally to simply provide the programmer with a completely zoomed out graphic of the text file in the scrollbar area.

[1] Since nobody has yet had the resources to try to figure out how to take a language model and turn it into a programming language. Patience.

[2] Or, to put it another way... make a list of all the weaknesses text putatively has for programming languages. Then sit and stare at it for a while until you grok that that is still the shortest list of weaknesses we know of, and all other efforts have even worse weaknesses at scale. It isn't that I deny the weaknesses; they are manifest and obvious to pretty much everybody. It is that it's still the shortest such known list at scale.

Not quite, since most topological transformations can’t be done on actual physical objects. (I would love to see some of those wood and string puzzles try to implement some of these style of topological puzzles though, that would be awesome if it was possible.)

Most of the wood and string puzzles fall under knot theory specifically, rather than topology. The main trick I’ve seen used in those puzzles is they have knots with an even number of crossings and therefore they can be separated (I believe the formal term might be “they have ambient isotopy to unlinked unknots”, but there’s a lot of subtlety I don’t get, so that’s probably wrong) but the knots are deformed to look like two distinct knots, each with an odd number of crossings (a knot with an odd number of crossings cannot be separated). Our intuition tells us “one inseparable knot plus another inseparable knot equals a single, bigger, still inseparable knot”, but that’s knot the case.

I like your drivers point. I guess I could disable the printer's wifi and USB it to a rpi4 acting as a printer server.

Ironically this new printer works great with my 20 year old SGI Fuel (which I lovingly keep), while I cant figure out how to make it work with my Plus4 (which Im keeping).

I actually really like this printer. Prints fast, great detailed settings available on a little webserver, it seems every single old printer protocol is supported. All for less than $400. Its the first HP product Ive enjoyed since I got my first CD burner in '99.

I just really distrust anything Corina has touched.
I suppose I should have been more specific. I can believe people will be using this. I'm just not yet seeing how it will make things net better. So yes, academic cheaters will surely be trying to use it, although we'll see whether they actually succeed.

But continuing with your analogy, I'll note that the people who fight financial crimes and fraud have absolutely had to integrate responses to cryptocurrencies. That didn't prove that there was lasting value to the cryptocurrency hype wave.

I don’t remember it being like that with CDs and floppy’s. I’m pretty sure most of them were still a license to play.

> It did not go down very well.

And yet, you can have all of that at home without much effort. My setup is significantly less elaborate than yours, and still not something any company seems willing to replicate any more. I don't think either is excessive, obviously my own setup I don't consider excessive since I spent /my own money/ to make it so. It's insanity that any company would expect you to return to the office and accept anything less.

Only a small percentage of sellers can convert an asset into the current dollar price in every market, regardless of where the underlying is used.

This is true for every asset. Once supply outpaces demand, price moves down.
Hi, guys. This is my first post on HN, so I'll tread lightly.

I wrote this article about how to execute external binaries such as a Fortran program from inside the Erlang runtime, using Ports. I hope you like it. Here's an excerpt:

We are going to write a Fortran program that receives input and does some calculations with the values provided by the user. Because our problem here is not how to write Fortran, but rather how to run the program from inside the Erlang runtime, a simple program will do just fine. For this exercise, we will write a program that calculates the force according to Newton's 2nd law.

In order to interface with the Fortran program, we use a genserver process that manages an Erlang port. Ports are Erlang processes that allow running external programs and interact with them in the same way we interact with processes in the Erlang machine, by sending and receiving messages.

Our objective is to call the genserver API in Erlang, have the function transparently execute in the Fortran program (that is, as if it had been called locally), and return the correct result.
It's not just guilt but social status. and material gains.

Yes, early cars had to be started with a crank handle that stuck out of the front of the grill, similar to how early propeller engines had to be hand-spun to get going. Apparently if you didn't crank it quite hard enough the handle could snap back at you rather violently, one of my great-grandmothers had her arm broken this way.
It’s not necessary for someone to be “[not] doing anything useful”, but a much lower standard of “not doing enough to useful to be worth paying them what we pay them”.

If you have hundreds of people creating $50K/yr of value and you’re paying them $80K/yr, you’re losing money even though they’re all doing something useful.
A small tweak to the "old style" plan that I'd look at is running the new service in parallel with the old but not actually taking customer facing action. For example, send all writes to the new microservice when the write happens in the monolith.

Pros: Gives a real work indicator of performance with very low risk. Data could be truncated and then backfilled before the final release.

Cons: not always possible depending on complexity or feature. Requires implementing the parallel path which carries some risk in itself.
Based on advice here I just tried Porkbun. A not-quite-professional website that prefers making jokes to fixing layout bugs, I try to sign up and the symbols in my password cause it to fail with a 403 (!!). I'm super scared about their technical abilities and general security. Are we going to see another Gandi 6 mo down the line?

Domains are the keys to the internet atm, it would be nice to see someone take it seriously.

Edit: I guess I'll try realtimeregister, since I haven't seen anything negative and they support U2F per Yubikey's catalog.

Edit2: Cool, cool, when you sign up they assign you a non-random password which anyone can use to log in and view your personal information.

Edit3: Others with u2f support that aren't MAMAA: Cloudflare (close), OVH, DNSimple (accounts are $60/year)
Similar here. I pick the one thing the system depends on, I call it ‘hello world’, and implement it with no UI at all and one command line test. The test exists to prove to myself and my team that it works, and know when it breaks, not to demonstrate an API. You can call it TDD or not.

So I when someone suggests “we can build X” I say yes but first we need to build “hello world”. The discussion about what constitutes Hello World is often valuable, but often ends up with examples like the article, eg "can we write a message and the recipient gets it?" "can we do one trade?" etc. These sometimes seems like trivial goals but implementing them can be surprising.
To me the difference is that 1) you pay for hotels and you know exactly what the cost is 2) hotels provide a tangible benefit, mostly being the bed to sleep in.

Social media often has this idea that it is “free” and so people don’t think about the massive amounts of time and privacy that is given up as the hours whizz by.

The biggest lessons learned on the Mars Climate Orbiter wasn't exactly that everything should be metric. It was the unit conversion is dangerous and needs to be handled very carefully. Just saying everything will be metric doesn't avoid unit conversion. You might have one thing measuring fuel burn rate in grams/second and another in kg/second. That conversion can still lead to issues if not handled correctly. In the context of the space shuttle it was all designed in imperial units starting in the 70s so it would be very risky to convert everything to metric.
