After working in large corporations I only partially agree with this, if I take "unnecessary" to its literal meaning. It's impossible to keep everyone at a 80-90% busy rate at any large company just due to the inefficiencies a large system accrues, idling is embedded due to the many layers of communication, coordination requirements, etc.

I agree there's a lot of empire-building in large orgs, and perverse incentives for management promotion where headcount is directly related to their career ladder. At the same time I completely disagree with the "vast majority" take on it, you can't just hire consultants when needed for ramping up a project, institutional knowledge is extremely important in any large org and I haven't seen any yet that has a streamlined and efficient onboarding process for that. Experience matters and that is a reason to keep an overhead of employees that might look unnecessary in accounting/MBA terms but is a pool of workers with enough knowledge to ramp up a project at a moment's time if the organisation needs.

The other side of this would be to keep a ship that's efficient for the current moment but that can't be steered rapidly when needed, that might kill or stagnate an organisation pretty quickly when markets change and the reaction time is too long.

As I said, I don't disagree completely, I'm not fond of upper management in general, and quite tired of the whole career game that is played in large orgs but your point of view is very, very cynical.
GPT-4 has gotten so much worse over the last few months, and GPT-3.5 has gotten better.

I still think GPT-4 has an edge but its frustratingly dumb and loses context so often that I'm not sure how much of an edge it really has any more.

> there's a "proper" way to carry the keys to the truck

That's a rule developed out of accident analysis, UPS drivers are trained to put the keys in their pocket as the first step of many procedures so that it becomes habit and they don't leave the truck running or create any possibility that someone will start it while the driver is away from the driver's seat.
I mean, fleeing the country would make perfect sense to me. Publishing your ex-girlfriends diary to try and get her not to testify, after already randomly breaking other bail conditions to no gain just seems dumb.

My favourite story from the Jargon File.

This version of ESR's is the best online because of the footnotes it includes about finding Mel.
When it was introduced - and it was new at the time - not everything was as neat and clear as you state.

Quoting Wikipedia: "The [TCAS] manual described TCAS as "a backup to the ATC system", which could be wrongly interpreted to mean that ATC instructions have higher priority."

In fact, you'd do well to read the entire Wikipedia article to see that this was not the only case where pilots did not have clear guidance on which orders to follow in the case of conflicting ATC and TCAS orders.

> "waging a war to get out of an economic depression"

I guess it used to be true back in the ancient times when you could sack cities steal all of their stuff and enslave the entire population (well.. at least those you didn't murder anyway).

Not sure this really applies too almost all industrial wars to any degree. Of course there might be some indirect benefits, like wars generally make political/social/economics reforms much easier (which I guess might be both a good and a bad thing)

I love Wilson and in particular his prose, but he never himself seemed to get very far into any sort of "understanding" type of consilience himself (he was a professional scientist after all).

Your quote from him reads like someone looking back on a past personal realization of a significant paradigm shift and expansion of perspective when they are themselves at the same time already of a bygone era blindly living in a lower dimension (as are most).

Our interfaces are simpler and bespoke compared to others. We create a document showing different components, how the components should be dimensioned, and also detailing of different interaction, theming, and animation conventions to be implemented. We try to provide enough detail so that a developer can reimplement in their tool of choice, and will schedule several meetings or screencasts with feedback as they proceed through their adaptation of what is documented. This document guides us in creation and modification of existing components. In several cases, need for new components can drive a complete rethinking of the system.

In separate document, we put the application screens, and navigation between screens only. We try to detail out all possible states of the application, elaborating them in writing in the file.

Finally, we have one more page showing variations of the interface to illustrate all conventions.

Biggest benefit is that all design assets can be exported in SVG format and used in actual application so the app is as close to the Figma as well.

Once you have working prototypes, I strongly suggest including videos of the actual implementation for reference and accommodations for limits of the tech stack used, because it may not match perfectly with the Figma.

For more complex design systems, you may want to look at design kits by larger companies. Examples below:

> we all subconsciously think of Black American art (including hip-hop) as something to be "taken" or "used" or generally not culturally owned by Black folks, usually Americans

It's a bit silly to try to prescribe or restrict "ownership" of culture. Culture is and always has been a product of sharing and mixing of existing traditions.

EDIT: I think there's also some hidden issues at play here. You basically want people across the world to directly acknowledge "black citizens of USA" as an ethnicity (to protect "your" culture). Some problems with this:

* You don't straight out say this, probably because skin-color-based ethnicity/nationalism is a touchy subject (e.g., white nationalism is basically taboo). But then how can you expect your request to be taken in good faith?

* Your request is somewhat US-centric, as a "Black American" ethnicity would after all be just a US minority, presumably not even independent from the mainstream to the degree that, e.g., many European minorities are in their countries.

I'll admit I'm putting words into your mouth, but clearly there's lots of things being left unsaid every time these discussions come up, so I don't feel too bad.

In the case of the spaniards its a little different. They ambushed the emperor and essentially slaughtered his host who continued to throw themselves in front of the spanish to protect the emperor, eventually order broke down and they were routed, but the incan empire and the spanish would contest for power for decades still. Another Spaniard around this time, Magellan, made it to the beaches with some 60 men thinking with god and modern arms he would have the advantage against some three thousand Filipinos, and he didn't make it off that beach. The narrative that the spanish just routed everyone doesn't actually hold much water, most of the big takings e.g. in mexico were from identifying existing political enemies operating within a feudal system not unlike that of europe, rallying them and supplying them in their own proxy war against the established aztec power.

In modern times you only see the restraint you see because of the political consequences of allowing the full force of the military machine to be umleashed. Consider how the military actualy behaved in afhanistan or iraq vs the pacific theater. They would visit villages on foot and use interpreters and attempt to form relationships with the locals, instead of just strategically bombing them flat on the off chance they harbor something important to the war machine. The most intense battle of Iraq, the second battle of Falluja, saw 600 civilian deaths. The battle for Okinawa saw over 100,000 civilians dead, a third of the population. That being said I think it goes to show that if push really came to shove, the new war planning would readily go away for the old war planning of strategic bombing along with atomic weaponry, at which there is no cave that will protect you when we have nuclear warheads designed to penetrate the deepest bunkers. There is no safe haven when the US army can engage you from beyond the curve of the earth.
Switzerland is also the closest in per capita healthcare cost to the US. Though it is a significant amount lower - I think one could draw a graph of percentage private operators in the health system vs per capital healthcare costs and have a pretty straightforward correlation.

You think them saying 'we understand that the web archive is a valuable resource of data which isn't under legal attack, and to best serve the needs of the public we'll ring-fence that resource by spinning it off as a separate legal entity that won't be affected by any legal action that may be taken against us while we fight a (more) contentious battle' would result in less sympathy for them?

Not directly that I know of, but that's definitely a straight-forward mediant calculation. I'll do it all in integer ratios and assume the answer is somewhere between 0.0 and +inf, exclusive:

from fractions import Fraction

mid = Fraction("0.33")
delta = mid * Fraction("0.005")
lo = (mid - delta)
lo_p, lo_q = lo.as_integer_ratio()
hi = (mid + delta)
hi_p, hi_q = hi.as_integer_ratio()

p0, q0, p1, q1 = 0, 1, 1, 0
while True:
p = p0 + p1
q = q0 + q1

if p * lo_q < lo_p * q: # p/q < lo_p/lo_q
p0, q0 = p, q
continue

if p * hi_q > q * hi_p: # p/q > hi_p/hi_q
p1, q1 = p, q
continue

break # in range

frac = Fraction(p, q)
print(f"Found: {p}/{q}")
print(f"{lo} <= {frac} <= {hi}? {lo <= frac <= hi}")

For your test case:

Found: 22/67
6567/20000 <= 22/67 <= 6633/20000? True

A grep of the CPython distribution found no use of the word "mediant".
There are plenty of other people from different parts of Europe confirm my anecdote of having a cooler summer. We should not fall for the fallacy of appealing to authority when we can easily collect data ourselves and confirm the findings.

For me, it was Magic 108 in St. Louis, Missouri. However, I was so far out in the suburbs, Magic didn't always tune-in very well. I had lots of tapes with static. Also, in the early days, they played rap only late at nights, for a few hours before the "quiet storm".

There was another AM radio station in St. Louis, a city college station, that used to have a segment called "The Rappin' Hour", where dudes would call-in and rap about their high school or whatever. I used to write rhymes in class, dreaming about calling into "The Rappin' Hour." LOL
The title is a bit misleading, because right underneath it says:

If ad-supported plans are more lucrative, the obvious play is to increase non-ad prices and force people to switch to ad plans. IOW, they aren't betting you'll pay up, they're betting you'll sit and watch ads.

I make a ton of jokes about "freeze peach" because the suggestion that legitimate conservative speech on the internet is being muzzled is absurd - if Facebook/Twitter/IG really are the public squares of the internet, then the norm of "talk shit get hit" should really apply.

If he wants to run an unmoderated, right-wing tech site he's more than free to do so.

What he is not free of are his obligations to crack down on calls for violence, trademark and copyright infringement, and to provide fair access to relevant services on the basis of race and sex.

The reason why I don't care is because he's already made it into such a shitshow that everyone I care to listen to has left.

X (FORMERLY Twitter) can do what it wants. If Musk wants to bankroll another conservative echo chamber, it's his right.

That's true, but it's a bit of an interesting question because "free speech" has different meanings. The thing to understand about HN is that we're trying to optimize for one thing: intellectual curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Given that, we're not "free speech" in the sense of "post anything about anything" - we have to moderate spam, flamewar, lame comments like "ok boomer", etc., because those detract from curious discussion.

On the other hand, no single political or ideological position has a monopoly on intellectual curiosity either—so by the same principle, HN can't be moderated for political or ideological position.

It's tricky because working this way conflicts with how everyone's mind works. When people see a politically charged post X that they don't like, or when they see a politically charged post Y that they do like, but which we've moderated, it's basically irresistible to jump to the conclusion "the mods are biased". This is because what we see in the first place is conditioned by our preferences - we're more likely to notice and to put weight on things we dislike (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). People with opposite preferences notice opposite data points and therefore "see" opposite biases. It's the same mechanism either way.

In reality, we're just trying to solve an optimization problem: how can you operate a public internet forum to maximize intellectual curiosity? That's basically it. It's not so easy to solve though.

> But, HashiCorp says that, the thing we develop (i.e. Terraform) is used by others and generate revenue for them, this is great, but we can't generate enough revenue from it to keep the company afloat and continue providing TerraForm development, and sell it as a product at the same time.

> What should they do?

Suck it up, open source Terraform under a non profit foundation, find a new source of revenue. Or stop developing Terraform, cut expenditures, and move on with life.

There's no universe where "bait and switch customers who wanted open source into paying us by switching licenses" is a viable option.

> So, just because people adapted it, and HashiCorp cannot survive, should they say, we're closing shop, it's all MIT now, do whatever you want, bye!?

Exactly, you know the answer, you just don't like the implications. People somehow think that a business which started an open source project "deserves" to profit from it. They do not. Open source is a great way to get people to know who you are and build things that are interoperable with your (proprietary, closed source) SaaS offerings. It is not in itself a revenue source.

If the viability of your business is predicated on being the only one able to provide your project as a service and earn that service revenue gravy, just leave it closed source and proprietary. Sure, you won't get adoption at anywhere near the rate, but that's the tradeoff you make.
Great strawman you got there. There are other people from different people in this thread confirming my anecdote, are we all wrong?

Terraform is neither a language nor a framework, and I certainly don't think it will wither and die if they transition to BSL.
