Why does the comment field exist if not to write a comment? Why do you care where someone writes their comment? Personally I find it weird to write a separate comment as though I were not the one who posted the thing I'm commenting on.

"Just FYI" If we are telling each other what to do and what we don't like, then I would say I don't like or agree with this attempt to tell someone else what to do over something so trivial and without some significant excuse or necessity.
Perhaps adding support for PHP on the fly is an extreme case, but reconfiguring eg load balancer backends when new systems come and go without having to render a config file and HUP (and hope) is a typical case.
Lockstep simulation can't be hard tied to frame rate. Two computers will never have precisely the same frame timing -- even if they are running identical video modes, clocks are only accurate to within a tolerance and will diverge. The simulation has to allow for simulation ticks running independently from rendering frames.
This seems to be the case, given the other responses in the thread. Good guess!
Post author here. If a customer asked "and I'll be able to upload my own data?" and the response was "absolutely" even though that functionality didn't exist yet because we knew we could build it before they launched, that's nothing approaching fraud. I don't believe we ever once didn't have a feature like this that a customer wanted before they actually launched. The disagreement is whether it's ok to just say "absolutely" or whether it's important to say the full "just to be clear, the product can't do that today but we can build it before you launch." 10 years later I'd take the latter approach.
Looks like they will need cheap, reliable electricity and air conditioning.

We should focus on making sure they get it.
I like to think of JSON as a low-level configuration language that most people should generate from a higher-level language such as Python or JSONnet — sort of like assembly is to C. JSON has lots of things to like about it, but I don’t recommend generating it manually for most people for files larger than a few lines.
Hi! We’d love to have you.

For this particular case it’s tricky on iOS since you can’t programmatically cancel a subscription on iOS. It must be initiated by the customer on the device.

However, if you navigate that UX challenge, you can use our events and webhooks to make a smooth experience guiding a user through the process. Hadn’t thought of this before, but you could probably pre-authorize a stripe token, then ask them to cancel on iOS, then wait for the webhook from us, then finish the transaction and track it to the same customer ID in RevenueCat.
Ha, I had always assumed it meant something on the order of inches.
I worked as an apprentice at the age of 15/16 in a store where they develop software but also provide hardware support for consumer devices (phones, computers, etc.), a customer asked me if it was possible for me to cut off his phone battery with a hacksaw because it wouldn't fit in the case

he was incredulous when I told him it couldn't be done and tried to explain that even trying is dangerous but he didn't want to give up, I hope he didn't try at home
There's a difference between having some awareness of interpersonal challenges my team have, versus one of them having, among the list of 61 principles by which they govern themselves, 'keeping me up to date on who they are having difficulty working with'. I mean, I note that there isn't a corresponding advice to 'keep your manager up to date on people you enjoy working with'.

Overall, it just sounds like they plan on making problems and then bringing them to me to resolve. Which, sure, would require 'managing'.
Why? What do you mean by "the market can afford"?
We in a media inspired climate doom and gloom period where the media tries to inflate impacts but still promotes a return to the office because the impact of going into the office on climate change doesn't matter. The fact that more lives will be saved when death by freezing is lessoned doesn't matter. What matters is you read and do what they want. Stop your critical thinking and panic on the way to the office.
Batteries in Norway have a very high recycling rate and large batteries like car starter batteries attract a specific tax (miljø gebyr, environment charge) that assists in funding the recycling operations. Everyone who sells batteries has to be a member of an approved recycling group and be willing to accept for recycling batteries of the same general type even if they did not sell them. So you can dump your old phone batteries in a box at any supermarket.
I don't know why you are assuming it is standard, expected or necessary to have genome sequencing equipment on the ship. There's no doubt that they've brought it back to land and are working to identify it now.

History has plenty of examples of nations and economies completely ending. In fact it's so consistent that it's basically a guarantee that the current economy you're living in will be "done" eventually. Therefore it's not a laughable conclusion but a valid possibility. We've seen two major economies descend into this "done" zone with no hope for recovery: Russia and Japan.

Additionally no one is saying to "not to do anything". Try all you want he is simply predicting the outcome of trying.
You seem to seriously misunderstand the nature and significance of sport. Sport is one of the most sacred, meaningful, and universal rites we have as a species. It is a worshipful and passionate celebration of all our greatest virtues: courage, selflessness, sacrifice, resilience, humility, elegance, grace, and so many more. Anything that compromises the integrity of such a celebration could hardly be further from a "victimless crime"; it gravely injures us all.

Interesting! Without going into personal details, can you explain what sort of incongruence he found between his diary and his memory?

I sometimes keep a diary, for example when I go on long trips that are different from my day-to-day life. I try to be as accurate as possible, but sometimes i notice what i write isn't fully representative of my state of mind at the time, simply because when you're writing stuff down (especially when you're writing with a pen and paper (slow!)), you can never fully capture all the concurrent thoughts and emotions you're experiencing, so its impossible for a diary to be fully accurate. Undoubtedly, e.g. Elizabeth Loftus has done a lot of prominent research in that field, our memories tend to be fallible, but maybe that's part of the reason?
I have had aging family members who remembered things that cannot possibly have happened. Going beyond anecdotes, false memories are a well known and empirically studied effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory

> What is the no-NAT equivalent of this?

At least for web-browsing and other HTTP/TCP use-cases: Cut off internet from your hosts and use centralized local proxies for all outgoing connections. Presumably you already have reverse proxies in place for the incoming. There is no need for NAT if all the traffic is taken care of in higher layers. This reduces your consideration to the internet-facing forward- and reverse-proxies only.

Sounds like you already have bittorrent figured out via VPN (Wireguard I guess? Well there we have one more UDP exit-point to consider).

BTW, I largely agree with your sentiment: Benefit of (especially migrating to) IPv6/DS for individual networks is often unclear or questionable and metadata privacy is a valid consideration where I believe correct solutions are not readily available and understood even by your well-intentioned and seasoned senior admins. Maybe globally the number of people who will get this right ranges in the 1000s? 10,000s if we're lucky? How many networks do we need to migrate again for "IPv4 to die"?

I guess the only way forward is for more people to do that migration and share their findings and solutions, though ;)
It happened to me to be part of a project where design was made by a young female friend of mine. After reviewing it (lots of gray semitones, including dark gray text on black, and subtle difference between active and not active elements), I asked her "but..... why?". She honestly answered that she perfectly differentiates one from another. Later I learned that grown men have drastically different color perception than younger women.

Check their comment history. It's mostly flagged comments for a reason.
Another mistake/very expensive hard lesson I've learned is to never bring people into leadership on potential. Not unless there are exceptional circumstances where you can confidently say the person, even lacking experience, will perform.
I would say that an exception could be made for VR games where any frame rate 'jank' causes an uncomfortable experience and can lead to increased simulator sickness.

Now that we live in age of javascript. Why not have user manually ask the server to set a cookie if they wish to be tracked?
From what I'm reading, the method they're using right now to store the CO2 requires around 25 tonnes of water per tonne of captured CO2, and requires clean water at that. They are apparently working on using saltwater instead, but don't have the tech yet.

So I'm not personally convinced it is actually scalable for now. I will admit that they seem more serious than others (in particular, more than the company in this article, which is using CO2 to push more oil out of the ground).
I'm in an extremely similar position, so it's a bit rich me giving advice, but I would suggest just trying to make something, something that seems perhaps slightly too complex. Then look for the specific resources you need when you run into issues; not something general purpose that just happens to be at your level.

(Not least because it frankly probably doesn't exist? We'd need something graduate level but with a refresher of basics, who's writing that? And we're not necessarily interested in graduate level in the sense of the mathematical theory of it any more, depending what we're building, if the goal is just to make stuff. E.g. I can use a USB PD chip in a design without learning more about transmission line power loss.)

Endurance running is really just eating.
Any half decent containerized setup should support zero-downtime deploys. Usually it involves bringing up new containers and signaling the existing containers to begin draining connections.

For most workloads it should be entirely possible to deploy a new stateless config and not need to resort to using mutable state for critical infrastructure.

If you have long-lived, stateful connections (perhaps for live streams) then I can see why re-configuring in place would be desirable, but in my experience that's pretty rare.
Yeah, I don't like it either. The original commentary should stay with the headline, not risk getting ignored or downvoted into oblivion.
Which species is that? The oxygen concentration in the ocean does vary a bit by region but a larva would have to travel a huge distance in any compass direction to get a significant difference.
My skepticism (call it cynicism if you like; it doesn’t bother me) is borne of nearly 50 years watching history repeat itself and people chasing fads. I’m all for technology, but it’s not a solution to every problem. If you think technology is the best solution to restoring our earth’s balance, make your case.

I think the $10T or whatever outlandish figure that proponents of carbon-recapture technology plan to spend would be better spent on a land trust on which native plants would be cultivated. $10T will buy an enormous amount of land upon which billions of trees can grow.

It’s not just names but also things like places, times, methods of communication, etc. which could be use to narrow things down.

Yep, every time I've ever worked for a manager who wants regular 1:1 meetings "just to touch base" I pretty quicky just start feeding them platitiudes that I know they want to hear. They are without exception holding these meetings because of their own self-confidence issues, if they were concerned about me getting work done they wouldn't keep pulling me away from it.

> your statistic comes from a study of European cities

Yes, the ratio of 5 does (actually from Northern Europe). But if you look at worldwide data, the ratio is actually higher: 9.8. In other words, Europe as a region has a substantially lower ratio of cold-related to heat-related deaths than the world average. And Africa has a substantially higher ratio: 16.5 in Northern Africa and a whopping 58.3 in Sub-Saharan Africa. (Of course this is because the people there are so much better adapted to heat than to cold.)

See Fig. 1 here:

So, in the beginning, they play recordings. But the recordings, in particular that of Oswald's wife, sound pretty unnatural, including the interviewer. On the website linked, there are sources, but they are text only. Were those interviews "recreated" for the video, as far as you know?

Edit: it is mentioned (not very clearly) at the end that the recordings were "voiced" by other people. So that answers my question.
There were HN threads about this (?)

> That sounds great, but hard decisions are hard because there isn't time, money, other resources to have all the facts, yet a decision must be made.

While I am sympathetic to the concept of reasoning under uncertainty, the way you've framed it is hardly engineering anymore.

Design projects come with a spectrum of data requirements, and each has its own cost function for improved accuracy. For example, knowing exactly how long the bridge you need to build matters greatly, and the cost of surveying should be pretty low. In contrast, measuring the soil at the site you build on top of has a variety[1] of options with varying costs. You can't ever be 100 percent certain that your sampling was good enough, but the samples more you have the more confident you can be. Depending on the project and design, you may not need the most expensive and most accurate option, but you probably don't want to just rely on priors built through "experience."

Translating this to the world of software, we have a variety of data collection strategies. A/B tests, canaries, software instrumentation, tracing, offsite monitoring, f-scores, beta tests, market surveys, and more. The best thing you can do as an engineer making an uninformed choice is to design the system to collect the data you are missing and to make it easy to change your design later. Amazon calls these "two way doors" versus "one way doors"; if your decision was wrong you can go back and make a different choice. As an example, if you are designing a caching system, spending a bit of time to generalize the API will allow you to swap between policies as you collect data about cache hit rates. If you don't, the cost of changing your mind goes up as more things depend on the nuances of your API.

Rather valorize making uninformed decisions, I'd prefer to valorize flexibility and continuous data collection. Seen this way, the old adage "There's never enough time to do it right, but always plenty of time to do it over" is a coherent philosophy.

Also, Node 12 supported ESM somewhat fine, you just had to use the --experimental-modules flag for Node. If you still have to support Node 12 in 2023 for some odd reason, you probably shouldn't have a problem enabling an experimental flag to support more modern libraries.

Node 10 was truly the last LTS that had zero ESM support, and that support ended 2 and a half years ago.
Because these devices are usually being supported by teams of only a few people. Eventually someone decides that a new project needs all hands on deck to meet deadlines and people get reallocated internally from the "least important" projects.

The fixes are simple, but they all share one problem: they cost money. Hardware orgs are almost universally run by the most penny-wise pound foolish people imaginable, so that problem is completely insurmountable to them.

There's other issues too (e.g. upstream vendors don't like upgrading and charge absurd amounts of money for it), but the main problem is simply a lack of institutional priority to do the work.
But but you can’t allow the plebs to have their own manuals!!!!
I think this is the most important: make the team grow.
I agree as oil companies have influenced politics and climate science for decades. There is plenty of evidence that they deliberately lied as they valued their profits over humanity's welfare.
Yes they also store to tape
GCS launched as an S3 competitor (with an S3 compatible API). So their pricing was basically copy pasted from S3.

From the start though they offered more expensive to run features (a consistent list api, 1GBit transfer per file vs 100mbit for S3 at the time, Glacier-like storage with instant retrieval).

I think this pricing jump is mostly pricing it at what it always should have been. Plus a bit of the now being so focused on enterprises that the list price means less and its all about "call sales for more information".

S3 has built most of those features since then though, without a price increase.

My new favorite punching bag for this is Discourse. It's literally just a forum. Some text and maybe a few images. Nothing crazy. But their "new and improved" system has a stupid lazy-load design that takes 7 _seconds_ to load. The root document https transfer completes in 500 ms. What the flying fuck is going on in that remaining 6500 ms?

And it's not just the first time. Every time you refresh the page, 7 seconds. And they have the audacity to call this towering pile of javascript nonsense "simple": https://www.discourse.org/about
