I've also seen Jon Yongfook remark that public revenue can become misleading for readers once you have employees or cost-of-goods. You have to really spell out the profit/loss details (like Michael Lynch does), but people will still be tempted to do an apples-to-oranges comparison of your top-line revenue vs other public founders.
Readability suffers though, with negative impacts on maintainability and even verifiability (fewer people able/willing to examine the source code).
docker is a -requirement- only if you plan to use their pre-fab stuff

you can just take their dockerfile and run the infra however you wish too, probably.

Haven't checked n8n on a while

Actually. says npm OR docker right there in their docs https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/installation/

Simple integrations that would otherwise require dev time to build and maintain. As long as the workflows last just long enough for the value they’re providing, it’s a superior solution to a bespoke build.

It's fair to say most in the Islamic world would consider that response unjust and, more pragmatically, counter-productive. Don't let misconceptions get the best of you.

It's not about what is taught to kids but about what kids retain.

And it seems that primary role of school when the bottom line is considered is keeping kids busy so their parents can work in peace. So there's really no strong objection if some parents want to opt out of this because not many will.
> How can parents be knowledgeable in all the subjects that school teachers teach?

Ask parents who home school. Also, just read the article.

> There are also cases of parents homeschooling for the purpose of religiously or otherwise ideologically indoctrinating their children, something that does not often happen in public schools,

At some level, it definitely happens in schools. People who deny it's happening have a worldview where what they teach is the "norm" or consider it "basic fact". Just ask any parent who has said something along the lines of "I don't want my school teaching my kids X. What does X have to do with education?" - replace X with anything in the social justice sphere.
There's plenty of undefined behaviour at that level, just look at Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities for example.
Munich. And TUM is at Garching. And I paid 70. I know what I paid. It was 70 every month, year after year.
This being HN, a site full of mostly successful folks, we are likely to only hear the anecdotal success stories of homeschooling posted here, and not the failure stories. For every gushing "I was homeschooled and I now run my own $50M company!" story, how many are not getting posted that amount to "I was homeschooled and the only book I read was the bible. I don't know 4th grade math, am unemployable and trapped as someone's housewife." Are there even published statistics about this?
Well, the time is obviously noon by definition(*), and the date would have been well known as it's entirely predictable. Syene is about a degree or so north of the Tropic of Cancer, so essentially the only date the sun is in the zenith is the summer solstice, and that’s the day they should measure shadow length in Alexandria. Had it been farther to the south, there would have been two such days, still well known and understood by the people of the time, and had been for millennia, and it wouldn’t matter which of the days you’d pick.

(*) This was 2000 years before time zones became a thing and local solar times were disengaged from the wallclock time. Not that ancient Greeks had wallclocks.
Beyond today's forecast at best, it's all bullshit and guesses, to be honest.

I was watching the weather for the last few days for any chance of rain to determine how much I might need to water my garden. There was no rain forecast yesterday. Then overnight we had a downpour out of nowhere, a couple of inches total.

This is how it's always been. It's a game of guessing the future based on observations of the present. Like picking stocks, it doesn't work very well.

I think he used a boox tho
>"For all x, if x is a marble and x is in the bag, then x is white". The statement is more "For all x in the bag, is x white?"

They're the same, just quantifying over different sets. I can quantify over objects in the universe, in which case I need the clause about being in the bag. Or I can quantify over objects in the bag, in which case I'm quantifying over the empty set.

all(m=="white" for m in marbles)

By De Morgan's laws, this is equivalent to

not any(m != "white" for m in marbles)

If you want all(m=="white" for m in marbles) to evaluate to False for the empty set, then any(m != "white" for m in marbles) has to evaluate to True for the empty set, or you have to give up on De Morgan's laws.

This is how standard first-order logic works. Again, you're welcome to try to make your own system of logic that works differently, but good luck doing that while preserving all of our theorems in set theory and mathematics.

Right, Flexa is already integrated in a number of PoS (Point-of-Sale) devices and providers (e.g. NCR), which makes its merchant acceptance fairly broad already. Once stablecoin legislation occurs, then being able to accept something like USDC will be more valuable for merchants and since there are no chargebacks to worry about then the merchant fees will be substantially reduced. Something like 1% vs 4-5%.
This is all good in theory so here is my question: since unions are essentially a power structure at its core what happens when they try to abuse their positions? What is the check/balance or counter to that?
goto fail wasn't caused by ambiguity or undefined behavior. C's rules here are crystal clear, and conditional branches in assembly also do not make the following instructions condition (unless you're using delay slots à la SPARC).

Heartbleed also wasn't caused by ambiguity or undefined behavior, if you believe compiler writers.
Imo number 1 thing that helps a maintainer on the resume is to say they brought in some number of revenue, and all their bug fixes (especially taking out the fires of the other engineers doing features) saves the company a dollar amount or guaranteed a dollar amount of ARR.

> But to claim that "hooliganism", "youth culture", and "religious fanaticism" have nothing to do with crowd crushes seems absurd [...]

Whenever you believe to have identified the root causes for an event, and they're as diverse and disjunct as hooliganism, youth culture, and religious fanaticism, then that's a strong indicator that those factors aren't actually causally related to the event. Blaming crowd crushes on "youth culture" is reminiscent of blaming school shootings on video games.
Motivated children can easily outpace public-schooled children with 3 or 4 days a week at 3 hours a day. They can be very self-directed, but the trouble with it is they go down rabbit holes and they'll excel at one or two subjects to the detriment of others.

My daughter would want to spend 6-10 hours a day on art, but wouldn't want to do her French or math homework. My son just told me that alef (in the Hebrew alphabet) was the symbol for Graham's number, but balks when I try to get him to memorize his multiplication tables.

> And since they are different ages, I worry that if I taught them all at the same time, the curriculum would average into something too challenging

If there is a subject where that is the case, I do not know what it would be. Once they're past the age of 7 or 8, most or all children are capable of what they would be at older ages. I don't think, for instance, that an 8 yr old learning to read is slower at it than one learning that for the first time at age 14.

For the record though, didn't get to teach my son to read. With his sister, I tried from age three on up... every few months I'd see if she was more agreeable to it, and she wanted nothing to do with it until sevenish. She could sound words out phonetically if I pushed from the start, but with a look on her face like I was pulling teeth with pliers. So I waited with my son until he was almost seven... and he could just read. I have no idea how. My wife claims she didn't, and his sister certainly didn't either.

I think, really, that public schools doing age segregation has more to do with them trying to perfectly homogenize the product they crank off the assembly line, than it does with making sure each student gets enough learning opportunity.

> if you make money from it, n8n should get paid for that value.

We weren’t really expecting to make any money out of it. We already have a Zapier integration that our customers were using. We just wanted things to be a little bit easier for our customers. Does this have an indirect impact on our profits? Sure, I guess marginally. Enough to justify a $50k/yr license fee? Nope, not even remotely close. Our customers can carry on using Zapier.

> You’ve proved the point of why open source would’ve been a suboptimal license for them to use.

They didn’t get paid either way, the only difference was we send all our customers to their competitor now. Which also isn’t open source, of course, but Zapier has the brand recognition and reach n8n doesn’t. Everybody knows Zapier, a lot of customers ask for it specifically. Nobody asks for n8n. I don’t want to make the “you’ll get paid in exposure” argument, but in practical terms, the only difference to n8n in our particular case was they had a chance to stop us sending customers to Zapier. They never had the opportunity to earn money from us directly, only to get us to stop sending customers to their competitor.

If n8n want to license their product in that way, that’s up to them. It’s totally their right to do so. But it’s not open source and this is a big issue for some potential users here. Discussion about that belongs here, especially when people are saying that it’s open source.

> Open source was intended as free as in speech, not free as in beer.

You’ve misunderstood that. Open source and Free Software includes both. Open source was originally promoted as the commercially-attractive alternative to Free Software.

We’ve used N8N for about 2 years, at scale, in production, self-hosted on a VM with docker compose. It’s phenomenal.

We run every piece of client-specific custom integration work through it.

Plumbing a few systems together is a piece of cake - either triggered by webhook or scheduled cron-like.

There are tonnes of out the box nodes for common services, but for everything else the JavaScript code block and HTTP request nodes fill in any missing gaps.

We’ve tried Zapier, Integromat and loads of others - N8N has nailed the UX for us.

I think with any discussion of public schools, it's highly dependent of where you reside and what wacky choices the administrators make.

The controversial "new math" here in California that delays algebra until 9th grade (~14 years of age) probably has caused a lot of parents with engineering backgrounds to reconsider.
Might be. For sure anyone should optimize no matter what. Of course now many developers only consider the number of feature they produce or use (“shiny new library! Will fit well on my CV!”), but there is a big satisfaction of improving existing things as well.

But to decide whether this approach works, we should first test it, improve it, and then we can benchmark it.

I find the idea interesting. Could be cached for all pages, or handled by the browser. It would be massively interesting in gaming and streaming, helping also support old devices better.

That seems like a shallow dismissal. In a distributed system, making sure that sub requests are handled across distributed nodes within the local AZ, and correctly draining traffic from AZs with partial component service outages, is not as trivial as 'using a feature built in to a load balancer'.

I love chatbots that try solving your problems and redirect to an human if they can’t solve it. That’s a good use of “ai” (but an abuse of the “ai” term).

This doesn’t work in a VM or if there’s an SMI or if there is any other glitch.

There’s a more fundamental and harder-to-solve issue, though: time (CLOCK_MONOTONIC or whatever) is a function of the underlying clock source (TSC, for example), and that function is defined piecewise (and must be if it changes in ways that are not known in advance). And, fundamentally, if the thread evaluating the function after some change gets ahead of the thread making the change in the first place, it’s awkward to get the right answer without waiting.

The best I’ve come up with is for the thread running the show to record that, for TSC values above t, a new function is used, and to do this well in advance of t. I don’t know a way to do an atomic commit of a change if and only iff TSC < some threshold.
Thanks for creating an issue! And sorry for the error folks… working on it!
Spain has a long tradition in civil engineering and is able to reach some of the lowest costs per km in multiple infrastructures, despite a difficult landscape, and execute complex projects well. Two things really help:

* Government has an engineering corps that draft really detailed specs for all projects, and ensure compliance

* Laws that allow confiscating land in the name of public interest

The second item tends to be problematic in common law frameworks typical of the Anglosphere.

> Is public school really that cruel these days?

This is a good question, but how am I supposed to find out the answer with any real certainty short of exposing my kids to it? Not really a sane option. "Hey, kiddo, go dance on the minefield and see if there are any left" isn't my style of parenting.

> Sure, there's the occasional story of extreme bullying that happens to make the news, but it seems like these are far outliers these days.

It's quite possible that the extremes are just the ones that make the news. The low-intensity torment is in my opinion just as traumatizing, but unless some parent raises a big stink about it then it usually doesn't even rise to the level of neighborhood gossip.
