> This is a terrible indictment of the American schooling system if your only defence against metrication is 'I can't do decimals'. It is you lot who have to catch up.

To the contrary, if you read into the full context of this thread, the underlying contention isn't that we're incompetent at decimal arithmetic, but that the rest of the world (and apparently some Americans too) believes our common fractional arithmetic is too much of a mental burden, and I don't blame those individuals either.

Indeed decimal arithmetic is trivial to most grown adults, but that wasn't the point; the example was merely to highlight how just slightly changing a few numbers in the same sequence of operations serves as an effective counterpoint to the grandparent's assertion that "even children can do in their head reliably".

Americans are taught and handle metric units in compulsory school just fine, but most of us also practice imperial units on a daily basis as well. We're just not culturally predisposed to complain when everyone else conveys measure in the SI mks/cgs framework.

Cool, I didn't know about CSIRO. Google tells me: <<The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation is an Australian Government agency responsible for scientific research.>>

"The financial institutes like banks, shadow banks, investment funds, etc have lost huge amount of money"
My understanding of the core problem is - Money has to come from somewhere. It is the result of China becoming world's workshop. Chinese have 45%+ saving rate and those powered up the FIs' balance sheets. This money funded all the buying of land rights, development of housing etc. How Chinese govt. deals with these toxic balance sheets before Chinese people decide to make a run for the banks, that will determine how this crisis unfolds. Ultimately there never is free lunch, unless you are the US which can print it's way out of any problem it creates for itself - what times!

> GitOps is a philosophy which makes sense even on small projects.

Er, does it? Root cause of this catastrophic dataloss incident is that in "GitOps" none of the traditional safety checks can be implemented. In normal sysadmin workflows, attempting to delete all your data will yield an "Are you sure?!" type message and you'll probably have to take explicit steps to confirm that this is really what you intended. There will also be dry run modes and other helpers.

Because git is intended for source code and not as a way to make stateful changes to servers, there are no features for that. If you push a commit that didn't do what you mean, it will just blindly do it.

It seems like this is a pretty major flaw in the whole "philosophy". The whole point of hacking a VCS into a server admin UI is because people think git will let you roll back infrastructure changes easily. But it cannot, because infrastructure isn't a stateless function of your git repository.
The reason why I think statements like "hey, lets just quantize the market" is that it ignores all the other stuff that you now need to decide. It's half a solution.

As mentioned elsewhere, lets say you quantize. How do you decide which of two orders that arrive within the same interval at the same volume and price gets filled? Unless your proposal to quantize the market also acknowledges that there's now significant, basic questions to be answered about how a matching engine would even work, then it's not a serious proposal. It betrays the fact that the proposer hasn't fully thought through the impact of what they're suggesting.

But, to answer your question: Quantizing the market will aggregate and dilute market information into the size of your interval. The enforced delay between your order and execution will fundamentally add some uncertainty and risk into every trade, which will increase spreads and the cost of trading. This will obviously happen less at smaller intervals, but I find it hard to see any offsetting benefit whatsoever.

What'll actually happen is that no-one will place orders until just before the interval boundary, so you either have an open order book (and still have an arms race so that you can see the book, process it and submit an order before the deadline), or you have a closed book, in which case you're now running a dark pool. (People tried dark pools, and discovered liquidity fell through the floor, and the thing that market customers really want to be able to do is trade. So they invited a bunch of HFTs to come along and participate in the dark pools, and everyone's now wondering what the point was).

Finally, unless you form a World Government, you'll discover that different markets will end up operating on different quantizing intervals and rules, which will lead to enormous structural arbitrage opportunities across different venues.

> Why would the US securitieis market collapse? Would it collapse?

Of course not. We used to have high latencies and high costs in the olden days. I think it was worse then.

> Why do we need extreme liquidity at the nanosecond level

Because I want to come to market and buy right now based on the available information in the universe right now. I don't want the risk that something will change in the next 500ms (or whatever) factored into my price.

I have been in the same boat and this is a realization that pretty much cured me:

Fear of death is not rational. There is nothing like "being dead" more than there is anything like "not being born". Our anxiety of our mortality is just a cruel evolutionary accident. Feeling scared when facing possible death is an evolutionary function for making animals avoid dangers. Unfortunately for humans we got a brain that can simulate the future very well, and we can understand that we will die. These two generates our fear of death. Again, the fear we feel is not based in anything rational, since we will never experience being dead.

I’m trying very hard to not be flippant here, but I can’t shake the feeling that this Kubernetes norm has to end. I’m not saying Kubernetes needs to disappear, but people need to stop treating it as the new normal, as if VM:s and config management is somehow an outdated and incapable alternative.

To me, this is an example of the complexity of Kubernetes coming back to blow your foot off. Remember, Kubernetes exists to make scaling and redundancy easier, but it’s only easier if you fully understand the implications of every configuration that you make.

Complexity causes incidents, so my mantra will always be that if you propose to introduce complexity, have a justification ready for why its inherent risks are outweighed by the benefits.

If you’re deploying your side projects in an infrastructure this complex, I would strongly suggest taking a step back and questioning if the same benefits really couldn’t be achieved in a simpler way.

> Drugs have helped me to understand myself, the way my perception works, and the nature of reality.

They haven't, you just think they have. There are real ways to gain such insight, but not through breaking your brain's pattern recognition capabilities.

> They've also helped me to manage my anxiety and depression.

Well, they are drugs.

> You can tell me that's an illusion, but you'd be mistaken.

What is an illusion and what isn't? I'm not saying you aren't having those experiences, I'm just saying that they are not actually related to some biological element of yourself, such as you living a human life. Psychedelics breaks our pattern recognition, sense data starts to get interpreted in different ways and we see, hear, and feel sense data in a different way. They just fuzz up the control system of your brain. While it's true that your normal experiences are not somehow "less illusory" than those drug experiences, it is true that they are a more accurate model of external reality.

Your mind is constantly refreshing its own model of reality, according to received inputs. Psychedelics totally mess up your model of reality. The problem is that now you are attaching to this messed up model of reality as somehow real and insightful. It's not, it's just what happens when your brain isn't functioning properly.

sure we may need to decarbonize. but an arms race between how much you can pump into the air and how much i can remove is a stupid strategy. if too much carbon in the atmosphere is net negative, maybe we should revise whatever processes cause us to release that much? but i think any attempt there will necessarily demand that we put brakes on the false progress march (powered by capitalist greed). men with tiny dicks and assortments of self-help sex toys need the ‘billionaire’ drug injected into their veins, to prop up their self-worth so any attempt to pause the certified dollar-churning processes will be defeated, easily. but i digress.

if too much carbon in the atmosphere is bad, stop putting too much into it. or maybe it’s not necessarily bad but we’re stuck with a global warming narrative that’s wrong, on net, but hard to recant? i don’t know. what i do know is that virtue signaling is a moth-gathering flame. see america.
So far there is no evidence that it is a scam. The cryptographic promises are rock solid, it has on average done a better job of preserving value than the USD [0].

There is a brief window (2021-2022) where it was a bad time to buy and even that might not be the final word. The last time this happened was in 2018 where the price of bitcoin peaked at half it'd current value.

If anything, it is starting to look like Bitcoin is a respectable asset. It has outlasted several allegedly-reputable banks and is weathering a difficult credit environment quite solidly. It is still very risky, but it is hard to dismiss it.

Ask HN: I'm developing a Django-like admin panel for Spring Boot apps
Hi HN!

I've recently started working on this side project and I wanted to ask some questions if there's anybody in the target audience for such a tool reading this.

The tool is a plug-and-play JAR file that you drop into the app and, with little to no configuration, will expose a management interface on your Spring Boot app. It will automatically load all your DB classes and provide standard CRUD functionalities. At the moment, in a very WIP stage, it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/KgTfmfd.png (this screenshot shows a specific table with its data and possible operations).

So my questions are:

1) Do you think this might be useful? From what I've seen there are no solid equivalents of what Django has for Spring Boot apps.

2) What features are you looking for in a tool like this, besides the standard CRUD stuff? CSV import/export; AI features like query the DB in natural language; Graphs and stats; Authorization/authentication; UI customization, etc...

3) Do you think there is a possible market for such a tool or can this see success only as an open-source library? If yes, how would you approach the pricing? It can't be sold as a SaaS because customers would need physical access to the JAR file.

Thanks!

> common fractional arithmetic

I agree with the current of the thread, that mixed numbers are decidedly inferior to decimals. They're not harder, strictly speaking, but are more tedious, and this additional tedium introduces steps that people can make mistakes in. Fractions are also not easily parsed by standard desk calculators, and are not easily printed in a single line. They may even be mistaken by someone in a hurry as three separate numbers.

Decimals do away with all this unnecessary pain, and this really is the key point of metrication: it is a waste of time and effort to use non-SI units and convert back and forth or deal with mixed numbers. That's what people are complaining about: it is exasperating when Americans dredge mediæval units up in the 21st century, when we have a modern, simple, and unified system of units available.
Yeah many of these apartment buildings are so bad no one can move into them. They're often demolished a few years later. Construction standards just don't exist in China, and people are forced to continue paying mortgages on these properties under threat of prison. Given this extraordinary position of power and laissez-faire, the major construction companies have been way over-leveraging. Most analysts are confused as to why it has taken so long for the industry to collapse. The prevailing sentiment is that the government keeps stepping in every time another company is ready to fall. Eventually the government will just own all the construction companies directly, and the CCP has a poor investment and management track record.

ChatGPT is a great time saver for those who already know how to use awk. But it should not be used by those who are unfamiliar.

Just an example, I saw someone come up with a great awk line to change some text in a nested directory. He then pasted into bash. Only once the server went down did anybody realize that he forgot to cd into the proper directory and he wiped out not only the server config but also all the user-uploaded data as well.

The server config was not version controlled and the user data had not been backed up in almost a week.
