The reason it’s outdated in this case is because the pharmaceutical industry invested so much money and time into selling Prozac to the public, for a treatment that was ultimately ineffective, and then of course invested no money at all into correcting the public’s subsequent misunderstanding. So unlike what you’ve claimed, this isn’t a concept taken seriously only by naysayers who want to use it as a strawman. It’s a concept many members of the public generally believe to be true, because the experts spent so much time and money telling them it was.
Complex question, one of personal morality and judgement, the sort of thing that everyone has to answer for themselves.

For myself, the concerns I have are about consent: how well are the risks explained to and understood by all parties involved, and what happens if one of the parties says no (especially the less powerful group). It should in theory be possible to mostly resolve those issues with consent, though in practice, even among adults it seems we have trouble with it, as the original article makes clear.

There are some philosophers who point out that a lot of the suffering from these sorts of trade-offs are actually felt by people who aren't even born yet- those who grow up amid the dust and debris, those exposed in utero, etc. which raises all sorts of even more difficult questions about consent.

Again, I have no answer for this, but I think it is good practice for humans to at least regularly think about these sorts of moral trade-offs being made by our civilization, because we each have our own point where we have to be the one who walks away from Omelas.

I'm not American..

Also the USSR for instance was objective more imperialist than the US. Arguably not on par the Great Britain of course, although it's debatable..

However considering the disproportional military and economical power US has wielded over the last 80 years it was exceptionally benign compared to almost all other historical global or local superpowers.

lol.. ok. You know that calling everyone nazis while actually behaving like nazis isn't worth much? Then again psychological projection seems to be deeply cultural ingrained in Russia at this point...

Putin's Russia is almost literally Mussolini's Italy in most ways (economically/politically/militarily) just with more corruption and with everyone looking depressed and with less feathers on hats.
I'm not Hashicorp, but I mean look at Docker. They built the most valuable devops tool of the last generation and can barely muster a viable business. Why would Hashicorp give the slightest worry to losing thousands and thousands of non-paying customers? The upside is lots of money and the downside is loss of halo. Honestly, it's an unfortunate game of expectation setting. If I wrote an open letter decrying Salesforce for not open sourcing their codebase, nobody would take me seriously. But we expect better from Hashicorp for some reason.
Thanks! We really appreciate the in-depth feedback.

Indeed, we've seem many people building similar alternatives using in-house solutions on top of Kubernetes. In fact, that's the main barrier to adoption we've found so far.

The Terraform point is really interesting. In our earlier solution we tried to use compose files because we thought they'd be easier to implement. In reality what happened was that most people couldn't use it because they had more complex infra (or at least _wanted_ to have more complex infra) in their previews.

Especially after the whole TF situation we'll probably be looking into other ways to configure it anyway.

I think you are right to an extent. This is why the US gov is pushing for domestic chip fabs since that's pretty critical.

I don't think they are really passing us yet, but I think their unified government could be an advantage. It is easier for them to push policy on a national level. Depends on how you measure it, but the US still leads in research universities and I think our public sector is healthy.

The US does work with China and has a pretty healthy trade relationship with them which has worked well for China. Ideally for the US they will continue to be an important part of world affairs, but not at the expense of US interests.
The tech was amazing relative to what the basic science of the time allowed.

Pilot here: I'd bet you 100 bucks the Citation had the Southwest 737 in sight the entire time while on the approach, and knew exactly what was going on. There was almost certainly little to no danger of a collision. When on a visual approach like this you are literally watching the runway the entire time.

You can hear the Citation confirm and ask twice if they were still cleared to land, even after they were already cleared to land, so the Citation was gently nudging the controller that "hey, there's still an airplane on the runway."

It was a go around at the airport because of existing traffic on the runway. This happens all the time. Granted the controller got bogged down task wise, but the Citation knew it. I'd even bet you that the Alaska flight behind the Citation watched the whole thing go down with amusement.
I had to read the paper to understand that this means each of the 24 drugs was approved by a single study- that is, one drug, one study. Not 24 drugs, one study.

Running clinical trials is absurdly expensive and challenging. It's often not possible to run multiple trials.

Oddly, I cannot find where on this page it says anything about the size of the asteroid in question. It's probably there somewhere, but I'm not seeing it somehow.
That's true. But in this case no one was avoiding anyone, since neither knew the other one was there. And it's not exactly 3d when your both using the same runway. More like 1d...

You don't think 'bro' is gendered? It was a charitable interpretation. You think it's the permissible form of sexism.

The paradox of tolerance is what I'm operating off of too. My conclusion is that you can't hate the hateful without being hateful yourself. What's your conclusion? That you're always automatically on the right side so it's okay to be intolerant? Where's the paradox for you? It's a 'you can't have your cake and eat it too' thing. What are you giving up, exactly?

You shift very subtly from talking about beliefs to behaviors here. I'm specifically asking about beliefs, because the behavior in question here is the expression of beliefs. You're speaking out here against a group. Why shouldn't you be deplatformed? Why should we tolerate your intolerance?
I mean this without sarcasm, but congratulations on your deployment the phrase "strawman" being one of the only uses I've ever seen that makes sense, and not using it as cop out to avoid responding to a valid metaphor/ anecdote

While I agree with you about TF having a lot of issues, the comment isn't helpful. What would you suggest otherwise? Kind of a moot point now that the license is fubar'd, but what could be improved to make it better? If you could have a do-over, what would that look like?
Critical staffing shortages at ATC https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/critical-...

It's a tough job that typically requires intense focus and rotation very very very regularly. Like 20mn to 2 hours "on frequency" at a time, depending on the airport and how busy it is. Working people long and hard, they are bound to make mistakes eventually.
Once again, a huge company refuses to act until awareness is raised via social media. They were told, they did nothing, the social media backlash began, and ...

Exactly. Gambling’s major flaw for me is that it can help launder money. It’s essentially a one-way function you can apply to large sums of cash.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out where Xorg was. (But it's not the name of the protocol anyway.)
The JSX bits in a React codebase aren't templates, at least in the traditional sense where a template is a static file that looks like some desired runtime output and contains some "slots" which are analyzed at build time (or program start time) and then filled in with dynamic values at runtime. JSX kinda looks like that, but there is actually no "templatey" stuff happening at build time, i.e. React does absolutely no analysis whatsoever of your JSX and has no idea what it contains until each new time a component renders at runtime.
Thank you for that. The huff and bluster I encountered was in Ehrman's video appearances. I would never have guessed that he had actual arguments he just preferred never to mention in his presentations. I will see now if he has any.

Carrier has been very abrasive in the past, but not as I have seen lately. He might be said to have mellowed with age.

There is only one concrete fact of history here that is of any consequence: did Romans knowingly execute the instigator of the one cult that survived? I agree that we might never know. We need not trouble ourselves over Mary, Gadarene swine, or zombie dinner parties.

The charred scrolls in Herculaneum are deeply exciting for far more substantive reasons. We might find there was, or wasn't, a Jesus, and forget to care because of the important revelations.
We have seen immense harm from legal gambling in the UK since it was liberalised some years ago, far more than any illegal gambling ever caused in the UK. Whether that is also true of the US I can't say but I suspect that it is true to some extent.

The Vercel SQL library doesn't mix raw SQL and HTML. It can't, since that'd easily allow public db access on the frontend.

What people wanted was the speed of a server-rendered starting point and the flexibility and performance of client-side templating and interactivity. JS/React can deliver this, PHP cannot.
I looked it up and you're right, but it's also striking to me how much they spend on sales and marketing: almost 75% of their gross revenue in 2023!
I take findings like this with a grain of salt. They're saying it's possible. Now we need further research to make the process viable at various scale.

Not sure why this is being upvoted. ICAO doesn't expressly forbid line up and wait clearances with someone on final approach. In fact they're quite common in the EU. They're often conditional though (eg; "BEHIND the landing aircraft".) Pilots can mistake the aircraft being referred to, etc.

In general conditional type clearances have always been somewhat sketchy especially at busy airports where workloads are high.

As someone who has been a Linux or Windows user all my life, every little interaction with the desktop environment is off in a way I'm not used to and it's uncomfortable and productivity-sapping. I don't think I'd go that far as saying "sucks balls" though.

This implies that it has some type of sensor which determines if it's at 20.9% or 19.2% in some manner. Those are analogous to whichever cells are experiencing the world differently, so that the lever knows to move.
> The claim is that Mozilla doesn't actually have self-inflicted wounds.

Not in the comment I was responding to; you would have to be arguing that "Firefox smoking a cigarette from time to time" doesn't describe a type of self-inflicted wound—and for you to be right—for that to be true. (Whether you genuinely think that or not is one thing, but you definitely wouldn't be right about it, in any case.)

The entire comment I responded to belongs to the flavor of apologia that takes the form, "it doesn't matter if X is bad, because Y is worse".

Ask HN: Who else is migrating over to LUKS2?
So it looks like LUKS1 is insecure[0] if using a low entropy and short password.

The TailsOS security advisory says this:

> The cryptographic parameters of LUKS from Tails 5.12 or earlier are weak against a state-sponsored attacker with physical access to your device.

> We recommend you change the passphrase of your Persistent Storage and other LUKS encrypted volumes unless you use a long passphrase of 5 random words or more.

Anyone switching over to LUKS2 for everything?
Why? Why do you believe that someone familiar with coding discussion and tech industry discussions to be more likely to be well read than an average person? I am explicitly asking you to reconsider these assumptions, think about where they come from, and think if they have any real data to back them up at all
Wow. Relational databases, Redis caches, session IDs, different strategies for different scenarios... sounds like a fustercluck, no?
Well that's a great reason for ycombinator's existence! Acquisitions are a great way for established players to "develop" products.
HN has a lot of successful low quality submissions. I'm sure one about the curiosity of this domain existing, redirecting to this site, and having its whois hide the owner, could be a successful low quality submission. But the HN guidelines make it clear that having a lot of mildly entertaining low-quality submissions isn't a goal. It's just a part of being a fairly open community.

Domain ownership and the domain market, and wondering how much someone paid for a domain, is a topic that has been done over and over again here and the ownership of hackernews.com is unlikely to generate a worthwhile for the community at large insight, and someone could use a text post for that.
yea but does hn have any client side js?
It’s hard to construct a true randomized control trial for software engineering methods. People make many claims about programming paradigms or tools hard to validate.

It’s also unsure what we would compare a tool like this to. I doubt you could just say “compare it to Rails” given how frameworks like rails are bound to specific data models, and most realistic applications. You’d have to compare it to some other opinion about how to wire together different data structures.
Not threatening, mostly harmless.
Exploring the design space of binary search trees
Having recently picked up Rust (yes, sorry for mentioning it, I promise it's relevant), I picked up Terraform the other day. I was shocked by how weak its language-level developer experience story is.

I am working in VSCode, which by and large tends to be the editor supported best, with the most mindshare. Terraform has static and mostly strong typing, yet some testing revealed I was able to pass an argument of the wrong type to some variable I declared. This is type safety 101: variable declared `str` shouldn't accept `int`, ever. Yet `tf validate` was silent, so was all IDE-integrated tooling (whatever the VSCode TF extension does).

Jumping to/from symbol definitions/usages was also flaky (but not entirely absent).

Really disappointing! My excitement of diving into TF went poof. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but I was so excited to escape YAML hell (Ansible).

Now I'm even firmer in the boat of just using a regular old language, like Pulumi with Python (with full typing).

Did I do something wrong or can anyone confirm my findings?
I completely agree that it has problems. I use terraform a lot. Compared to nothing, I love terraform. However, it's so overwrought that it has to be hidden from anyone not in infra for a living.

1. IaC description should be format agnostic and transformable (eg definable in yaml, json, whatever).

2. Something about provider interfaces here, but it's already super messy and not sure if it's an improvement or just a shift

3. State files were wild west last time I checked. And there should be a default database interface provider at minimum. Maybe there is now?

4. Forcing the apply->statefile cycle as the default requires all of compute, interface, and a human. This should have been an abstraction on a raw interface for automated use.
You and the OP are referring to different things. Terraform the codebase has a test suite. Terraform the app does not have a test suite/runner as in a way to run tests against your Terraform files.
Not to mention how many of them could be suffering long COVID (perhaps without even recognizing it).
Materialized views allow insert/update mechanics on many platforms. Alternatively you can refresh them.

yeah the IM was not that great. Sending images in IM was not working correctly. Had to create rooms for group messages etc. Zimbra email had only 5 to 10 GB storage.

They switched to using office 365 for mail and slack for IM's 5 years ago. The user experience with office 365 and slack was far better.

If they do something else as a side effect, but it turns out that's the main effect, it might be worth renaming them.
Another reason for the low-poly video games is that it enables small/indie developers to make a 3D game without worrying about the insane overhead of getting ahold of fancy-looking models that probably will look like garbage anyway if you don't animate them properly. A low poly model isn't gonna so easily stumble its way into the depths of the uncanny valley.
did you ever consider starting from something already technically performant like pleroma or misskey?
Definitely true. The only issue with the idea of enforcing strict time limits on take-home projects is you pretty quickly get back to the same issues people including myself have with Leetcode and the like.

Like actual day-to-day work, just give me a prompt and a recommended time limit and I'll try to fit it to that and I might go above and beyond depending on a number of factors.

It's a situation where you have to pick your poison as an interviewee. Either subject yourself to the stress and lack of meaning that is leetcode (just my perspective), or be prepared to waste a few hours of your life on a project that doesn't wow your potential employer. I'd rather take the latter and hope I can learn something valuable along the way.
Are you proud of this?
Same! I love this site and am currently rewriting my own Vim tutorial to be like this but more specific.
There's also the stress it puts on your body. How many UPS drivers do you see that are 50 or older?
Also seems that this is one of the easiest jobs to automate in the future. Keep planes from running into each other. How hard could that be? If a computer can drag a 9-dan Go champion up and down the board, it can do this.

I'm sure I'll be told differently any minute now, but... if I were a young person looking for a career, ATC is going to be very far down the list. Concerns about future automation will become a self-fulling prophecy once no humans are available to do the job.
Perhaps you could argue that high initial sugar matters but final sugar content definitely does not. I only like my wines dry with no residual sugar remaining after fermentation is complete. A decade on my big reds are tasting fantastic.

I've had exactly one bottle of white go bad on me and it was somewhere in that 8-10 year range. It can definitely happen and would not recommend a white for this kind of thing . . . but this is also how you learn.

For someone not wanting to go the "make it yourself" route, I'm sure if you went to a good wine distributor and said you were looking to buy two or three cases of something you want to cellar for a good long while they would be happy to steer you in the right direction.
you don't have to buck conventions, as much as allowing for alternate ones, is all.

There's room for a reasonable alternative that chops the directory structures into more reasonable nesting, for instance.
Maybe there are domains/languages/paradigms where using the smallest possible number of lines to achieve a given compiled instruction set really makes things more efficient, but to me it sounds more like code golf. Using 1 very terse line to accomplish the same thing that 3 readable lines can accomplish should require the same exact amount of maintenance but would be much harder to read and modify.

I had a similar problem a few years ago, when I was making gears (and gear shaped objects) in a machine shop on old gear driven machines. We had most, but not all, of the change gears, and when making Worm or Bevel Gears, you'd often have a ratio, and have to work backwards to figure out a set of gears to get as close as possible to that ratio.

I wrote the simplest possible pascal/windows GUI application[1] to simply try all the possible gear combinations, and keep the lowest. I was shocked when it returned an answer in less than a second. I thought for sure I was going to be digging into algorithms like this, but nope... cheap compute saved me. I'd quickly get the gears, and the error in parts per million.

I do feel myself getting Nerd Sniped though... must resist.
