If you wanted to store the state in Git, you would probably want to at least encrypt secrets. This is not something that Terraform supports now (theory is that this is to push their commercial offering) but it’s one of the main feature requests for OpenTofu.

With this in place, and ideally with allowing folks to define custom backends using the plugin interface (decoupled from core, versioned) this story could make a ton of sense.

Disclosure: I’m on the steering committee of OpenTofu.
And what about Renaissance Technologies? Is that just chance or luck?

I can tell you I wrote many useless things with more than 500 lines, also known as "enterprise software".
Screws usually end up different lengths and sizes for ordinary mechanical reasons (meaning, for example, if the screw was 0.5mm longer, it would interfere with something else).

The harder you are working to make the smallest thing possible, the more this happens.

Additionally, since no one has half a million 2.32mm long M1.2 screws just lying around, they're always a custom order. Might as well get the exact length you want.

In the iPhone, for example, each screw gets its own part number and each screw is custom.
Total disagree. See my comment up above (1). Health care is horrible in the EU. At least in America you can choose to go bankrupt in exchange for quality health care treatment. In the EU, if you ever even get Doctor time, it's always rushed, and very often misdiagnosed. This is coming from an American living in Germany.

At some point, it will become impossible to tell the difference.
Why doesn't it work? Try Ollama, or llama.cpp, they should work fine out of the box. They do on my 3070 just fine. Also, try a model that fits your VRAM.
> The negative effects of my leaving or being laid off/fired on the company of 100k people are, more often than not, not distinguishable from zero. Many folks left my group and other groups I worked in and, invariably, the escapees were barely remembered a few weeks after leaving. The cemetery is full of indispensable people, and I was never told that I was indispensable.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that having "indispensable people" at all is a management failure. Large corporations that have been around for decades have survived because they don't have indispensable people.

This is why you don't get more money even if you outcode everyone on your team. The company doesn't want a rockstar developer, it much prefers having 4 average devs (where "average" obviously varies a lot based on the company and how much they pay etc.) It's simple risk management: the company knows it can recruit another average dev if it needs to.
The software is at alpha level. What can it already do? Is there a roadmap?
The article gives very little detail about how the train is set up.

There are some interesting ideas about how to preserve individual privacy within the same form factor. Those are probably better explained here:

i think tech folks like us often fail on this front of "change management". We can build/buy/integrate amazing tools that can actually solve (or prevent) problems, but we suck at changing organization behavior to adopt them and extract the value. Then we all look around like: why are we still operating in hard mode? because we havent made the case for change, and convinced folks to implement it. changing human behavior is tough

Presumably one would want to store the state in Git to get contextual diffing “for free” and possibly to avoid a dependency on another system.
Have you read what fully censored conversation devolves to? See Chinese state media and social media, it aint pretty.

> HN is relatively so good because there are clear and enforced guardrails around what a conversation looks like.

Hah, I think you'll find if you ask around that a surprisingly large number of people (especially liberal women) would be horrified at the discussions here. It's full of anonymous people furiously disagreeing with each other about everything, and full of arguments like "you're wrong because <facts>".

If you accidentally wander into the ultra-liberal hacker blogosphere, the sort of places where everyone uses anime avatars and half of them are furries, you'll find a lot of hatred for HN and a belief that it's no different to /pol/. Some of them even block links from HN.

So this distinction you're looking for doesn't really exist. If you support censorship you'll find they come for you next.
That was the final straw, yes. And if they were seeking to maximize outrage, they wouldn't have done that.
> The purpose of your insurance is to pay for damage caused by you to other people's cars

Liability insurance’s purpose is to pay for damage caused by you and your car to other people’s bodies and property due to your negligence. Cars damage other things beyond simply other cars.

> Personally, I think this is quite "regressive", in that the poor have to pay to cover potential damage to cars much more expensive than their own.

Only damage that they have been found responsible for having caused. People of any income level who make a habit of causing extensive damage to expensive cars belonging to other drivers probably should pay increased insurance rates to cover the damages they cause (or become functionally uninsurable).

> It would work better if insurance was completely optional and only paid for damage to your own car, whether caused by yourself or others. That way you would have a lot more control over how much you want to pay and how much risk you want to take on).

Again, that does nothing to cover the damage your car does to, for example, pedestrians, passengers in other vehicles, signs, mailboxes, or any of the other variety of things cars can damage.
Layer on ridiculous housing costs, energy costs, registration fees, etc, and it shouldn't be any surprise that California's population has started to decline. The cost of living is out of control.
I've heard this idea many times over the years, but it just hasn't been my experience.

Most of the Haskell programmers I have worked with are programmers. Incidentally, they like writing software in Haskell.
to summarise this - in practice, a person earning £50,270 under 1257L is paying 24% of their income as tax. Ever £1 they earn above this value is taxed at 40% up to £125k (although there are also some losses of benefits at £100k)

Pair Programming with a Large Language Model
My experience was the same traveling Europe by rail. It's such a lovely idea, I just wish they were more financially competitive.

Most trains did arrive a few hours late in the end. I remember on one train from Prague to Cologne, the train had to sit outside a station for multiple hours while two passengers argued outside(?) and the train staff waited for police at ~midnight.
They really don't, for a programmer there are million opportunities todo something at a smaller scale, on your own etc. If you're a product manager than the job itself only exists in inefficient corporations. corporations don't take risks, they're slow etc. look at google, how many exciting things did they push out over the last decade? and how many do we use today?

the thing these corporations are good at is control and marketing, they're everywhere and people always think first about them when searching for a job etc. they also pay the most, but you'll waste your potential there with endless titles etc. In a startup/your own project you can do everything yourself, learn anything, go into any direction you want to.

All it takes is a mindful shift in thinking, look deeper into what you want, what will fulfill you etc, but seems like most or a large number of people opt for not thinking stuff through and go with the easiest, most popular and obvious choice, it's like going to a factory to stand X hours near the machine...
I know, but what I mean is that he must obviously inform people about his shop in some way, and so ad blockers can just remove those references. With modern AI they could theoretically even re-render his videos on the fly to write out any indication he's selling anything.

The point here is either you're OK with ad blockers in which case, you accept all your work is charitable and unmonetizable (because you can't even advertise what you're selling directly), or you have to accept ads in any form.
It's not even only that, when you switch to another worktree you catch your language server with its pants down, and some tooling e.g. test watchers are bugging out as well.

I just always found it cleaner to have several directories on the rare occasion I need to work on several branches almost in parallel.

And let's face it, most of us don't work in a repo that is 100GB or above. Even if it was a 10GB I wouldn't care one bit and can easily have 20 copies of it temporarily.
What do you feel about what’s happening to our planet?

Teenagers are thinking lots about climate change, and many of them, says Hannah, are quite terrified about what’s happening, so it can be really helpful to talk it through. “We need to take action – this is a very serious situation – but you don’t want your child to be fearful the whole time that we’re on the verge of extinction,” she says. Listen to their concerns and be ready to talk about what people can do to make a difference.

Hm ... take action ... extinction ... talk. That shall help.

If we lived in a world where money wasn't so important I would fully agree with you.

But it is.

I can't earn the same as you all can because I don't live in the US, but if I did I would grind all the leetcode (as insulting as I find them) for one single reason: I don't want to work forever.

So I agree with some other comments here. No it's not really a choice.

Choosing to earn less and hope for a lottery ticket win like being an early employee in a unicorn startup is not a real plan. It's wishful thinking.

I hate this is the world we live in and my soul dies a bit every day I have to waste my talents writing useless software, but there's no real choice.

Another good premise for an article written in the appallingly casual style I’ve come to expect from tech writers. I switched off after “no more”.

It is an interesting point though - do I own the copyright to my own voice? What if it’s modulated slightly to be “close enough”, but not a direct copy?
Breton, Cornish, and Manx, like French, are still all base 20. Recently (a few decades ago) the other Celtic languages: Welsh, Irish, and Scottish Gaelic, switched to base 10.

Yes, but trademark has very similar rules to copyright. You can use trademarks in much the same way, such as saying "I hate Coca Cola" (nominative use) or commenting "This security vulnerability brought to you by Windows Vista, the most secure operating system ever" (parody use).
How would that result in more API calls than Terraform with state? When creating a plan, Terraform does already compare stored resource state and actual resource state, which does require doing API requests for each resource.
My mom was an accountant, and I used to think that would be hell, just sitting in excel all day, tabulating endless columns of numbers...

Bad habits, not the one you mentioned but sometimes I feel that same time invested in software development might have yielded better results.

In software development you also have test cases where your code should pass so you have in CP
I thought of that and tried to reflect myself but in the end I couldn't decipher their motivation. It was either (1) I solved a big problem they wanted quicker than they thought and they had no idea what to do with me after, or (2) they lied to me that I did well, concluded I am no good and funneled me to a team where I was managed like an intern.

No clue either way but it was not okay to not communicate. It seems they still needed the manpower so they figured they will not say anything at all and hope that I will stay. Well, it didn't work for them. I was happy to leave, lol.

And sorry it happened to you as well. The motivations of companies when hiring are still foreign to me and I have to catch up there and learn a lot because I hate being blindsided like that.

Its the biggest gap in TF in my opinion. The fact the Vault provider happily slurps all your secrets into state vs using hashes or similar blows my mind. I am convinced HC just is out of touch at this point because "treat the state as sensitive" is not enough.

There are many cases I would accept simple hashes vs client side encryption, too. Everyone is going to have different needs but it makes no sense HC ignored making this better for so long.
That sounds like a lovely version of capitalism, but the one I've experienced is anything but optimized. There can be incentives to keeping around unproductive jobs, the size and stability of an org can often be used as a basic sign of health.

It’s already a good CRM for basic tasks like tracking contacts and opportunities. It’s stable and mostly bug-free. Next month we will ship custom objects and the API, then email integration. And next step is to make it truly extensible (right now your best option to do something truly custom is to fork it which obviously isn’t great).

I could be wrong but I don't believe Renaissance Technologies makes their money picking individual stocks. My understanding is that they mostly make money with (statistical) arbitrage, market making, etc.
These days, with $5/sq-inch 2 layer boards and cheap prices for 4 or 6 layer boards... This makes 40+ pin microcontrollers and 200+ pin BGAs even are well within the means of a modern Hobbyist today in 2023. But there is no hope for these chips to ever be adequately placed on a breadboard.

-------

From my experience, breadboards and protoboards are for simpler learning projects. But you rather quickly grow beyond what a breadboard can offer.

Breadboard when you are at breadboarding level. But once you graduate to greater levels of complexity, you can only buy custom pcbs (and possibly 4 or even 6 layers at that). It's literally impossible to breakout a full square ~17x17 pin BGA on 4 layers, let alone dealing with EMI or signal integrity effects.
It’s your opinion they’re burning it to the ground but the fact they have survived, and will continue to survive, without your way of thinking and education, speaks volumes.

Go find a monarchy to live in then. These ideas are in direct opposition to what the ancestors of our nation were fleeing:

How do you go about finding a job at an amazing company with fulfilling jobs?
"It seems to me that there’s a class of programmer that will take an overpaid job at a terrible BigCo, spend their evenings writing ranty blog posts about how terrible it all is, culminating in the inevitable “I quit” article, only subsequently to accept a job at a different terrible BigCo."

I don't know, it sounds like you think people actually like their jobs. Seems like for most of us, we do work at shitty BigCos. Plenty of small shitty companies too. That's just how life goes.
I can say I might have had a meaningful relationship with parents if they were the kind of people to ask some of these questions when I was young. Questions are not trite and do not treat the person as dumb.

There seems to be some (understandable) confusion in some of the comments about what the article here is reporting which isn't helped by a lack of clarity in it or the underlying Guardian piece, possibly in each case intended to push their own agendas.

There appears to be an interpretation here by some of a potentially unsafe verdict due to misreading of statistics in her conviction - which has certainly happened in the past in other cases including those mentioned.

The expert input here though is intended as advice for the inquiry into what went wrong at the places Letby worked to lessen the risk of it happening again.

That necessarily includes qualified and responsible analyses of statistics, which will also have the benefit of increasing protection and support of staff as well as improving safety generally.

Also, I don't get what you're trying to say by posting a few random words and a link to a comic. Tentatively trying to read something into it: that there is no fixing the problem and we should make "your child to be fearful the whole time that we’re on the verge of extinction"?
Oh I thought this was about Futurama…
Terraform also needs to detect when a resource is removed from a template. Having a state file makes this easy (if something is in the state file and not the template, delete it); otherwise, you have to scan your whole infrastructure (and still risk deleting something that was never managed by terraform in the first place).
That's true, I guess my designs are rather more basic than that. I never managed to figure out how to work with these slightly more complicated chips, though I'd like to.
> Have Terraform plug into your Git history, take the Terraform code from the previous commit, and use that to calculate the old tree.

So instead of generating state by doing API requests, this would generate state from code in git, which does not necessarily represent the real world state of resources.

As much as I'd want Terraform without state I believe using Terraform code in git as state creates more problems than it solves. This approach isn't able to recognize changes made to resources done outside of Terraform. It also assumes the previous version of the Terraform code in git is always the one which got applied last, which isn't necessarily the case.
