Tell HN: Enterprises spend 10x more to build no-code solutions than coded ones
Code less sounds great for toy projects. People who aren't in tech aren't building no colde solutions beyond basic excel ones. So they end up hiring consultants to build them for them which costs at least 3-10x more if the solution were to be made with code. Ms powerapps for an example needs connector license for many basic things that costs a lot as well. This is from my experience as a consultant in many enterprises over last 3yrs watching code less explode in front my eyes.
Right, so if I had to guess how such a person might change their mind, I would say they would have to go through four stages:

1. These anti-SBS people are evil sophists trying to help child abusers

2. These views of these anti-SBS people irrational; but they're not evil, just misguided and/or misled.

3. The views of these anti-SBS people are wrong, but they are actually reasonable views for someone to hold, given the evidence they have available to hem.

4. The views of these anti-SBS people are correct.

You're never going to jump from 1->4 directly; you need to start with going 1->2.

So if you're serious about it, then I guess I would start with actually trying to get face-time with some people. Look at the various people in this community, and find someone who seems either more reasonable, or more friendly / sociable: someone who is unlikely to turn down an invitation to coffee / lunch, and unlikely to hate a decent person right in front of them. If there's someone who's has a lot of influence, or is in the "core", that's best; but anyone within one or two steps of the "core" could be a good start.

My goals going into the meeting would be:

* Establish a human connection; see them as a person, help them see you as a person

* Make sure they feel heard and understood. Try to understand how they got into the work they're doing now; and not only the evidence they've seen, but also the personal experiences they've had. Try to mostly listen; and if possible repeat back to them what you've heard them say.

* Share your story, and some of the key stories you've seen or heard. If you can, stick to your observations and opinions; i.e., don't say "my nanny was innocent", but rather, "it didn't really seem possible that the nanny did it; it would have been really out of character" (and explain more about the nanny's character).

I'd call it by ear whether to ask "would you want to know if you were wrong" and "how would you know if you were wrong".

Remember the goal for the first meeting is to get them from 1 to 2: That maybe you're way off base and misguided, but that you're not evil. Getting to 3 would be a bonus if it goes well, but don't count on it; and there's no way 4 will happen over the course of lunch.

That's a lot of work, but you seem pretty motivated. Whatever you end up doing, good luck!

First Impressions with the Raspberry Pi 5
Here’s a question I’ve wanted to ask — how many people just don’t take photos? I don’t have any philosophical bone to pick with it, I still take a photo if I need to reference something like where I parked; but I used to take photos on my phone at probably a normal frequency when I first became an adult, and I realized after a few years that I had never looked back on any photos I’d taken, so I just stopped taking them afterwards and never really felt any loss from not having them.

Incidentally, one unintended consequence of this behavior is realizing just how insignificant of a difference there is between smartphones even over 5+ years, if the camera is zero value add.
One of the main reasons to donate a project to a foundation, such as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is to protect the community against this type of rugpull. A requirement for them to even consider adopting a project is that it isn’t under majority control of one single commercial entity.

Do people honestly believe none of these projects compete with commercial solutions, or are they mostly oblivious these exist at all?

I'm sorry but that discredits his wide history as a modern intellectual. He did philosophy and linguistics from the start.

Like it's fine to not agree with him, but he often offers a great introduction to topics like war and labor organizing for folks. His pop science is at least based on real science and his own reasoning.

And who would you suggest instead? If you say anyone before the 1960s but filtered through the likes of Jordan Peterson or Steven Pinker I'm going to have a hernia. THEY are pop science crap.
I would bet a dollar inhibiting TOR via protein restriction turns out to be one of those things thats good for mice but bad for humans. Whatever aging gains you get are probably over-ridden by earlier onset of sarcopenia. Too many studies show how having muscle and strength is key to aging well, something mice in a cage don't have to worry about. Agree though that 99.9 is probably high.

Unless, of course, you take pictures very mindfully vs. just taking snapshots. I think the ease of which we can take photos now makes it very easy to cheapen photography. But we can still bring ourselves to be very present and mindful when doing so.

But if you're out there and your intent isn't to take a picture (but you're doing so anyway), I agree that'd also take me out out of the moment and reduce enjoyment of things.
I tend to agree with your first point, and feel that for user-driven content, allowing users to submit context to be displayed below the source is a good middle-ground.

As for the second point, I think that most critical thinkers understand that the laptop changed hands several times, undermining the "news" of the matter.

Will not immediately help in all cases of YAML usages, but at least can be a cooler way of defining resources in a Terraform-like style. In fact, it's already helpful as a replacement for HCL in one internal project, that was a final motivation to hack it.

In a bigger picture, I have no idea how to help with YAML omnipresence in Kubernetes. More than a half of my problems at a $daily_job is how crude is consolidating a final Helm chart from different sources. I am not saying that Helm would be inherently a bad tool or my company has chosen pretty bad way of using it - I guess everyone is doing their best considering the ciscumstances. But manipulating textual templates with semantic whitespaces is just too error prone, and the detection of errors happens too late. I dare to say - Kubernetes would do much better with custom format based on a C-like syntax, instead if trying to prove how cool YAML is, especially when it isn't.

> YAML is good for human readable configuration, with some notable caveats. But its terrible for being a secret programming language where the only way to execute it is to put in a PR request, commit to a live branch etc.

Bingo, people keep implementing incredibly complex DSLs that are based on YAML, and users keep shoving more complexity into that YAML since it's the only tool they have to interface with $THING, and all of a sudden nobody can comprehend what is actually going on just by reading it.

It's not a problem of YAML per se (another format would just have its own footguns / pain points), it's a risk with any DSL: you can create something so complex that it's actually less clear and harder to manage than it would have been with a normal programming language from the start.

Hi, I'm Alex the author of the blog post.

My main interest in the Raspberry Pi at the moment is for headless use - containers, Kubernetes, server-type workloads with systemd and for CI.

NATO – APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Recent COIN and CT operations around the world have brought to light an increased need for influence capabilities on local populations and key individuals. The understanding of the human terrain and its dynamics is the key for answering those new operational needs and obviously calls for a modeling and simulation effort. Our goal is to develop a simulation of the dynamics of the population in terms of attitude and behavior change and to use in training and decision aid applications. Building on a first generation model, the Hearts & Minds Impact Tool, available from a previous project, the current research work aims at a complete overhaul of the cognitive aspect of the model. This new model find its scientific foundations in Social and cognitive psychology and more specifically in Fazio’s model of attitude and Dessalles’ Simplicity Theory. By difference with most the existing models dealing with opinion dynamics, our model will specifically address the problem of attitude construction and adaptation toward Forces. Attitudes of individuals within the population will evolve based on the perceptions that have individuals on their actions, inter-personal factual communication and populations' social preferences. The first results of the simulation will be provided along with the description of the model.

Ask HN: Any podcast to recommend to learn technologies?
Hello!
I recently started a new job with a stack I'm not familiar with. I'm already watching and reading a lot of stuff to improve my skills and knowledge, but with meetings and co. time is missing.

As I'm running quite a lot and I'm used to listening podcasts while running, I would like to use this time to learn about those technologies, mostly AWS stuff. Any recommendation?

Thanks!
I am also curious about having an assembled one.
If you insist on a definition in terms of physics, there may be a universal standard way of interpolating all distributed ideas of red into a main definition, even if extremely high-tech.

Otherwise, this question comes down to whether the meaning of the term 'red' is generated objectively or subjectively, which is related to philosophy of language and mind. See article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity_and_the_... .

I really doubt this headline. As a frequent porn connoisseur most videos I have seen have a soft start with the actors chatting pleasantly. The few videos i have come across with grevious bodily harm disappeared from their hosts quickly. If I had to guess at a more reliable statistic I would say that 3% of pornography abuses women, and a far higher percentage abuses men, acts of cbt being the most common, but horses for courses etc.
It solves it, as much as adding a trailer to your sports car solves your problem of not having a pickup truck. It works, but it's very inconvenient.

Eventually those boards run into limitations and then you have to just opt to go with serial to a microcontroller which misses the entire point of having a SBC.
> The browser is essentially the operating system for most computing today

The browser is more of a universal user interface than a universal OS.

Of course something like chromeOS/ChromiumOS is an OS what boots directly into a browser, but it’s not a universal interface.

Maybe WebOS was a step in that direction being a mobileOS that was all html and JavaScript.

Also:

> the NSF told the AP the changes involving alcohol were related to morale and welfare at the base, and were not aimed at preventing sexual harassment or assault

> “Alcohol can obviously blur the lines of consent, there’s that issue at play, but overwhelmingly, sexual assault has occurred even when neither party has been consuming alcohol, as was the case with me,” Sorensen said. “So it’s definitely not going to eliminate the problem.”

> “For example, my incident took place during work hours, at a job site, no alcohol involved, and was corroborated and reported through official channels,” Barquist wrote

So two separate victims saying their assaults were nothing to do with alcohol, and the NSF also saying their changes to alcohol aren't due to the harassment claims.

In fact, all of our USB-C power supplies around the house are Apple - Chromebooks, Thinkpads, etc. They don't break and the cables are detachable; whenever the junk that originally came with the device breaks, the Apple ones we have laying around are there to just work.

The small ones don't even have an Apple logo that you can see when plugged in, so if the idea of using Apple products bother you then go ahead and paint it, plug it in, and forget about it for a decade.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the expression "mylke of almaundes", i.e. almond milk, was used in 1425. So I'd say the use of "milk" to refer to non-dairy products is fairly well established.

There is another fundamental problem that exaggerates the yaml loathing:

If you're on the dev team, you solve the problem by programming. You also leave and/or create other problems for the devops team to solve because of microservices, 3rd party integration, etc. Depending on your dev environment, this cycle can range from incredibly quick to incredibly slow.

If you're on the devops team, you're often left with solving the problem with a configuration file only. The dev cycle for that is usually horrendous both in time and feedback on each iteration. Anything that gets in your way becomes a victim of your wrath and anger.
Eye opening but not surprising. A company who is building a product who's feature is user-friendly and user-focused but hurts the thing that moves the needle forward for the company is going to be met with heavy resistance. Its like a car company in which the design team makes a design so reliable it'll cut revenue in half due to not selling parts, it can't happen.
>Only looking at the biggest sites is going to get you a biased sample.

More precisely you get one company. After countless iterations of mergers and buyouts its almost exclusively "ethical capital partners". Producer and sites.

Regarding your point of ignoring sex workers, this tends to become quite despicable quickly. There are some crusaders out there that are doing their best to criminalize sexwork entirely as an end in itself. At the cost of the sex workers. It was quite visible with years of sabotage of the liberal German prostitution laws. They turned working from your own home into a bureaucratic impossibility to then argue with economically exploitative situations of bigger brothels against prostitution entirely. Which gets you back to women working from hotels illegally, which gets you back to human trafficking.

https://www.donacarmen.de/ has been reporting about this for 25 years now. How these women are treated out of political calculus is plain disgusting. Which likely explains why none of these people talk to them and just about them. Once you weaponize safeguards meant to protect sexworkers against them there isnt much ambiguity about your intentions left.
He tried to make sense of numbers, as a point that it serves the US geopolitical goals at the time to have a distraction from their own atrocities.

"We do not pretend to know where the truth lies amidst these sharply conflicting assessments; rather, we again want to emphasize some crucial points. What filters through to the American public is a seriously distorted version of the evidence available, emphasizing alleged Khmer Rouge atrocities and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role, direct and indirect, in the torment that Cambodia has suffered."

Calling it downplaying genocide is a nice strawman. In any developing situation the media wants to jump yo a conclusion, that's his point overall.

He wasn't denying or downplaying just stating, if its happening how can we know to what degree when we have unreliable sources?

I was debating getting a rooftop solar system, but then I had some interactions with the door-to-door sales people pushing these installs.

It quickly became clear to me that there was a strong disconnect between the "acquire business" and "fulfill obligations" aspects of these operations.

I don't think a single one of the installers in my area would look at my situation and say "nah I wouldn't put panels on your roof - not worth it. Please keep your money".
Personally, I have a peoblem with all those "intelectuals". Most of the time they were never top of the crop in their field to begin with, and then switched over to general intellectualism using top notch rethoric skills.

Old geezer perspective (on "hot coffee"-type lawsuits):

I very seldom eat out, and do most of the cooking at home - including making coffee, tea, spaghetti, fried chicken and such.

If I'm a bit klutzy in my own kitchen, or have a "senior moment", and get burned by hot oil, boiling water, a hot pan, a "burner" on the stovetop, or whatever - then who do I get to sue? The grocery store that sold me the cooking oil and chicken? The local water utility? The electric or gas company? The companies that made my stove and pots? The publisher of a cookbook?

When you are just too old (or too ditzy) to safely do certain things, then you need to adjust how you live, to keep yourself safe. Or you approach things like icy sidewalks (good for major bones fractures, with only a "slight" fall, when you're old) with extreme caution. And if you do get hurt, then you act like you are still a grown-up, and take responsibility.
