I've seen microservices with inadequate boundaries, much like what you just described with monoliths. This was due to product evolution, or maybe initial requirements were not fully understood when the new architecture was implemented. Only in microservices fixing these boundaries is much more difficult than in a single codebase.

> "just use a monolith for everything" falls apart pretty quickly at larger team sizes.

Absolutely! Don't put everything in a single monolith, develop several mediumliths with lower requirements for coupling code together, but keeping it small enough so that upgrades are bearable.
> real physical symptoms of this - like clots and tachycardia

I think what GP was talking about when saying overdiagnoses was LC diagnoses where no physical symptoms are present.
Or it signals that 10k is an insignificant amount of money to you, but not everyone else on the forum. Having a lot of money is likely a signal that you're good at your job, but it's not a signal that you're right about everything.
We stopped using this one because it would occasionally freeze up / halt, with garbage on screen; I think something wrong with GPU, not sure.

> Microfrontends are very popular on the conference circuit, so I am probably about to make future job interviews awkward by criticisng them.

This has been my experience with conferences lately: Way too much emphasis on the next big trend, to the point of being counterproductive for actually getting work done

Certain teams and companies live and die by conference trends. If you can't also show interest in those trends, they don't want you.

I was asked to review hiring practices for the front-end team at a company I worked for a couple years back. They had a long list of questions about the latest web technologies and frameworks that they used to screen candidates. I was puzzled because we didn't use many of the technologies they listed. Several of them weren't even stabilized standards that could be used in production. The team lead explained that knowing about them was his primary signal for someone's overall competence.

They hired a lot of "smart" developers, but they also took forever to ship anything. They were always trying to do things like micro front-ends, rewrite part of the app in the latest framework, experiment with new web technologies that were too immature to ship, and other things that weren't really related to getting product out the door.
Ask HN: How can I compete in a well-established market?
I am building an agile project management tool. As you all know, project management is a well-established market with giants like Jira and Trello. This is my first product, and I started it to create a comprehensive tool that startups can afford. However, my hope is dwindling day by day. The main thing is, I never want to give up, and I won't give up. I'm seeking your valuable insights.
Do you think bot accounts won't make ad-revenue?

Very interesting - I run the software team for a lending company so this is an area I am very familiar with. How extensive is the coverage of your compliance? Do you handle any dollar size loan in every state? Or do you limit to the easy loan types (only allow loans of $3001 or more in GA to avoid GILA, no loans in NC because no physical presence etc)? As a customer of Pier, how does this allow me to get around the licensing laws? The originator of the loan has to be licensed to give the loan so is Pier the licenser? Does Pier have APR caps separate from those in the states themselves or will you allow full utilization of fees to hit those 300-400% APR in states like AL and UT? Do you support all the interest calculations (rule of 78, 365/365, 365/360, Pre computed interest, refundable maintenance fees)

I know first hand that this industry is a GRIND and most existing tech solutions are bloated and inefficient legacy systems so I think there is definitely space to disrupt the industry. Best of luck!
I saw the image you’re referencing yesterday. The unit appeared to be a plane, briefcase sized. It had two fisheye lenses about 10cm diameter each and separated by what I expect is an average human IPD.

So I think that unit was simply capturing 180 degree stereo video. Not enough to compute volume without most of it being some ML inference.
Yes and we need tools to route around stupidity to keep checks and balances on stupidity. Otherwise locked-in stupidity can get even more stupid and that’s how suffering occur at scale.

> In authoritarian states this is probably a net good

Crypto doesn't fix the problem with authoritarian states (or the drug war, or backwards prostitution laws), though, it's just another workaround. There's no shortcut around actual social change.

And the idealistic notion that crypto could allow mass civil disobedience didn't really pan out; these days, "civil disobedience" is usually too marketable and monetizable for it to not get co-opted by scamvangelists and corporations (which reminds me of the Black Mirror episode where they monetize the guy's suicidal protest against everything being monetized).
AZERTY keyboards for instance have it, since "Shift" is not a native French word (sometimes they do write "Maj.", but mostly they simply use the arrow). Also happens with some keys such as Caps Lock (a padlock symbol).
Well this is fun. So tell us then did Honeygain get created so nordvpn could use their IPs for streaming and also sell to competitors as lexistream? Tell us about the lexistream creation if you are in fact an ex employee.

Also would love to hear your take on shortcuts taken by honeygain to acquire IPs as I’ve heard about botnet usage.
I remember my suspension of disbelief being challenged in Star Trek TNG (my favorite) when they started using my Dansk cutlery and also my crystal highball glasses! What are the odds?
Temperature difference used to have a separate unit with the symbol ‘deg C’ in an old edition of the SI system.

Modern SI no longer bothers, and just calls the unit ‘kelvin’. Why should you?
> You can easily prove or disprove whether the valuation makes sense. Just look at comparable sales nearby.

In the Houston area the appraisal board just doesn’t care. They raise taxes across the board for the whole neighborhood by the same amount every year and appealing has limited effect. You cant really argue comparables because the whole neighborhood raises in lockstep by a shocking amount every year (since well before the big housing bubble)
> make sure you buy it directly from their account

Commingling makes this advice useless.
What do you mean? We allow hundreds of routing requests per IP and per day. But we have a few bad guys that misuse the service and so we have to limit this.
An open question also means people are more likely to check back for an update. Once the question is closed, there's less value for further reporting.
This comes up all the time in the context of DRAM routing. See e.g. the first image at https://resources.altium.com/p/pcb-routing-guidelines-ddr4-m....
The town in Scotland nearest to where I live, Burntisland, has docks and they have a huge crane there - at Xmas the company puts a Christmas tree on top of the crane about 65m or so up.

It's quite bizarre as when it's dark (and days are quite short in Scotland at Xmas) you can't see the crane just this lit up Xmas tree hanging in space above the town. It's very cool.
Sounds like this would be very annoying compared to a SBC. You have typically several SPI, UART, I2C, gpio interfaces on the pin header on usual ARM SBCs. Ready to use from Linux via standard API, using DMA, etc.
You are still relying on sites to hold your item for you. Items don’t exist in a vacuum, having ownership over an NFT doesn’t suddenly mean things will just interoperate.

For example, if it’s a game item, you still rely on one or more games to honour your NFT that claims you own it, and to implement that item in the first place. If it’s an image, that image is still hosted somewhere (and even if it’s embedded into the NFT directly, those bits are given meaning externally).

An NFT is just a receipt claiming ownership, what that receipt allows you to do still relies on external services honouring that receipt.

NFTs only solve one small part of the puzzle and I’d argue it’s not even the most important one.

It was horrible to work for a VFX firm in terms of work-life balance, but the pay was okay. I quit after 3 years. One crunch time lasted 27 days in a row many of which many were 10hrs per day. And then I didn't even get credit on the final film even though what I did was critical for it.

When I started my own firm in 2005 I adopted a no-overtime policy in reaction to that. This was more feasible since I was creating and delivering software and this was more predictable and containable than doing VFX itself. This has loosened a bit as the company grew, we got funding, then got other divisions, etc.
> Blockchain tech isn't 14 years old, it's 30 years old, or even 40 if you want to go back to the '82 paper. Still no world-changing tech has come from it, aside from monopoly money.

Questions remain around what exactly OpenAI means by “open” and “ai”.
Like too many people, you have confused "blockchain" with "digital signature", which doesn't require a blockchain, and typically already is used to verify things.

If you need to trust a central authority to hold up their end of the bargain, for example trusting a Hotel to actually provide the room, then a decentralised system adds absolutely no benefit over the hotel simply digitally signing a ticket themselves.

The hotel must be trusted to actually provide the room, so why not trust the hotel to also store the booking information?
My not-at-all smart 1080P TV. It has a USB port for firmware updates, the remote is a dedicated hardware device with buttons (but none for defunct streaming services), I've never had to accept a terms of service update, the manufacturer doesn't know anything about me, the default video settings are stellar, there's no low latency mode because it doesn't do anything that introduces latency, and it has an RS-232 port that allows full remote control over every single feature.

Here is a crazy example:

Paper tape. In the late 80's, I worked in some smaller shops using paper tape to drive their CNC machines. I learned all about it and can patch, the whole nine.

A few years ago a call for help found it's way to me and it turns out there are STILL people driving CNC machines off paper tape! I was able to fix the setup and get them running, edit a few programs and repair a damaged tape or few. Made a nice bit of extra cash.
I see orgs trying to use micro-things to solve problems caused by a lack of high-level direction, architecture, design and organization.

The problem is, micro-things require better high-level direction, to avoid becoming a tangle of poorly integrated, poorly performing, expensive things.

If end users can tell you're using micro-frontends, you've done it wrong. If you need 20 people in 10 meetings to change your app's chrome, you've done it wrong. If you don't know how and why these problems won't crop up for you before you've gotten started, you're going to be doing it wrong.

You need a strong architecture group, and the buy-in of the micro-thing implementors to take responsibility for their place in the whole to pull off.
Some of it is, but things like property ownership are completely open in some countries. I have a map overlay that lets me see ownership for parcels.

Granted you can have an LLC own property, but that's a different obfuscation mechanism.
Ahh, thanks for clarification, I wasn't aware that it was called macron, and was trying to figure out if the original comment had something to do with politics and Emmanuel Macron.

On the more serious note, we were debating this as we noticed it was preventing Play Store from showing it in search results if you just typed memento.

Unfortunately after removing it from the Android app store name, it doesn't appear in the search results at all.
> modularise the code

You mean…

spend more time drawing boxes and fantasising about what tech would be 'just-perfect' for that particular box?

Won’t that mean the connections between your modules start to become more important than the modules, and the work to maintain this system would only really be justifiable if the modules can be worked on in parallel?

How else can you do private digital transactions other than with something like monero? Given that cash is dying, and mass surveillance on all transactions is incredibly dystopian for reasons I hope are obvious, it fascinates me that HN doesn't see the importance and utility there. What is one meant to do in a few decades if they want to pay for an abortion, buy a copy of 1984, or some weed, receive onlyfans money, or whatever the society doesnt accept in x years?

It's still being used by normal people in really bad situations. It's just hn's typical demographic bubble that fails (or refuses) to see how it helps people. Of course, you're only experience with it is scams if you have easy access to USD and a more or less stable economy. Why on earth would you use something else!!

It really makes me happy that cryptocurrecy is here to stay despite the constant groaning and moaning. One day, even folks like hn will face the same issues that forced people to rely on it and they will be glad that it exists too :)

Edit: less downvoting, more useful discussion.
Micro frontends are mostly trying to solve organizational issues, from what I’ve seen. You have some teams or individuals who really want to use a different tech for their project, or get away from legacy code without rewriting it, etc.

I interviewed at a place a couple months ago that was looking for an front end architect, and all the assumptions and questioning were that their use of microfrontends (both angular and react) was a good thing and how would I make teams follow this approach.

They passed on me when I made it clear that I didn’t think it was a very good approach for their smallish team, and in general that the challenges they were experiencing were mostly because of this architecture, not solved by it.

If you put the property deed and your best attempt at its history in a public database, such as a blockchain, then all you've got is your best attempt at the property deed's history. You're still going to want to buy title insurance.
Let's back up.

Post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS) is an umbrella term. Many fall under this. Long flu(not new, but new research suggests the phenomenon based on long covid research), long rsv(not new, just more recognized when kids get it and develop asthma later in life), long covid, etc. Larger list here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01810-6/tables/1

Researchers are actively pursuing PAIS and the research being done for long covid is making breakthroughs in PAIS and PAIS populations like ME/CFS. It has become so prevalent that this year there have been multiple centers focusing on it. EX:

https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/post-acute-infection-...

Nobody is skipping likely causes, if anything we are driving forward today on hypotheses that could help all PAIS (i.e. viral persistence, autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, reactivation of latent viruses).
If it states "obvious" and then later we find out the obvious is wrong, they lose all of their credibility. Publications should only report, not make conclusions (let someone else connect the dots and report on their conclusions instead).
I can't speak for everyone because I don't know that there is a universal axiomatic understanding, but one way to "understand" finding the root of a given quantity would be that you are peeling off a dimension from a base unit (of, say, area) to arrive at a lower dimensional base unit in the same numbering system.

Another aspect of understanding is _why_ you are doing this, where does it fit into the programme of necessary compression of infinite information density (i.e. the number line is infinitely "dense") so it may be accessible despite the material confines of a human brain and its limited, discretizing capacity for dealing with multiple elements in a single operation. So, philosophically, different lower dimensional spaces integrate to form higher dimensional spaces, in order to facilitate the description of change from one thing into another thing. One linear dimension changing into another linear dimension requires a transition through a quadratic space, from which we get a curve.
It’s clear to us here that their intention was to name it close to a real technology to confuse consumers, but I doubt a court will ever find them at fault.
I'm not defending blockchain, just pointing out that part of the example wasn't really a good one. Property ownership being something that's already completely public.

I have a public map overlay on my phone that gives me deed information for (AFAIK) every parcel I can see in the USA.

Yeah, my experience is also that they're mostly proxies and iframes are a minority. Some serve a cached version of the site (since like most of these, my sites are static - they do update to get the updated answer lists though, since I manually set the puzzles a bit in advance.)

Some of the sites that host their own cached copy even go out of the way to remove the credits and contact info from the page.
According to court documents a HN comment thread is part of the evidence.

Yes, the mentioned app requires an online instance (can be self-hosted too).

But it is possible to use GraphHopper for offline routing on an Android device although we do not have explicit support for this (anymore). But as version 8.0 only requires JDK1.8 the routing will work when you configure it to use the memory mapped configuration.

(There is even an iOS port of version 1.0 :) )

> I hope that Israel can leave this dark period

It can't as long as support for (and opposition to) the forces that are dependent on keeping Israel in that dark period is conflated with support for (and opposition to) Israel.

That's not the only barrier, but it is a sufficient one.
Cool. The way current hardware handles very low precision is quite inefficient.
What? No it doesn't. I can download the text from each comment here to put it offline and in a blockchain. All blockchain is is a datastructure, nothing more.
Why hasn't it been adopted in those places then?
You can buy and sell digital assets without cryptocurrency. Also, the blockchain is not authoritative over ownership of those assets. Good old fashioned contracts are what enable transfer of digital assets. Crypto is just a terrible payments system on top.
Personally I wish that usbc cables were more like lightning cables in terms of form factor (both sides being lightning would have been neat). They fit snugly and it is easier to clean the ports that receive them imo... Anyway thats all in some other timeline >:V

Also as the organization grows, some things have to explicitly spelled out.
