> Perhaps a nearly-free tier wouldn't bring in enough revenue to offset the increased expectations there.

They could have a no-support or per-incident support tier that’s only a license. IMO the reason that doesn’t happen is because everyone only wants billionaire customers where all costs get passed to the end consumer without question.

A little profit isn’t enough anymore. All these companies want massive margins and profits and won’t settle for less. I think a total collapse in tech might actually be good for the long term health of the industry.
Can confirm. Nothing worse than figuring out what sort of "magic" is affecting a route in a huge Rails app. Oh look, a before_filter in a super class 4 levels up that is defined in an include helper. But wait, why isn't it affecting all calls and only some? Ah there's another chain of filters that you only can know about if you are familiar with the older Rails version API.

Rails is the "goto:" label of web frameworks. It's unbelievable how much it encourages spaghetti code and misdirection directly via its conventions.

A key point of a lot of climate change projections have been that we will be encountering changes that are very hard to predict and plan for.
I mostly agree, and this maybe gets a bit philosophical, but for me true quality needs a human too.
I think the future of webdev is a framework-like system that can be added gradually to basic HTML, rather than one which requires that you totally replace it with JSX, etc. from the start. Webcomponents are a huge step towards a time when we can add state managers and things like that without bringing in a monolith all at once.

Some projects require 1% of a framework, others require 98%, but the majority are in a range between 25% and 75% which currently need you to re-architect for a total perfusion of React or a competitor.
Because everyone wants neutral fair referees when their laws/rights are being interpreted but that’s an impossibility because humans aren’t neutral.

The fact that there are problems with an alternative set up (oh no, unstable populism!) doesn’t mean the current paradigm is itself flawless.

The parts of government that exist to slow things are always “very important to stability/safety/growth of the nation” but a lot of us just see them as the artifacts the rich and powerful put in place to ensure they and their friends and family stay rich and powerful for as long as possible.

Move fast and break things, especially governments.

> I get the full value, and then pay them a fee.

It really doesn’t matter how the transaction is structured, sellers can do that legwork themselves but that’s also a cost. If you sell your house for 1 million and taxes eat 10k and the agents eat 10k then the house must be worth 980k to you because that’s what ends up in your bank account.

Which is why economics define the term value as what the seller keeps after selling something because if the seller thinks it’s worth more than that they wouldn’t do the transaction.

> You’re implying who created the thing is more importantly than what the thing is.

No I am arguing what maintains the thing is important. People argue about who created the first iconic foods lie Philly Cheese Stake or Deep Dish Pizza etc, but they don’t need to actively maintain its cultural inertia.

Diamond engagement rings on the other hand only exist with active effort on the part of Diamond Merchants. Which is why they keep being advertised as such.

It’s trivial to make an idea like an advertising slogan catch on when you’re blasting it over the airwaves regularly, but people very quickly forget about them without regular reinforcement. Here’s some of the most famous US slogans from the 20th century fill in the brand: "All the News That's Fit to Print", "Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.", "Where's the beef?" "The pause that refreshes"

If you’re old enough you might even remember them or the equivalent from where you live, but they aren’t going to roll off the tongue the way more recent examples like “_ eat Fresh”, “Just do it”, “The Best a Man Can Get”, “Like a good neighbor, _ is there.” etc do. Those slogans aren’t better, the difference is just recent advertising budgets.

These are the sorts of questions I would like to solve. Were we mistaken in using fixed point for everything? Are there actually faster ways of doing most of these tasks.

If this was a web service, the popular solution would be Docker!

But the joke might make more sense than it appears. Just like a server that was coded to work on a given version of Red Hat or Debian, wouldn't be expected to run without changes on modern versions 10 years later, I guess we shouldn't expect old games to run without a VM that replicates the system they were written to run on.

> The article argues between the difference of a JavaScript Web component and a HTML Web component, you describing the former, thus the need for JavaScript.

The article goes on to add a good little bit of JS to make everything work they way they want. They still need JS to accomplish what they want. If you turn off JS things will break in that example.

> Personally I think the main problem here is client side rendering to begin with

I mean unless you want to roundtrip for new HTML segments (aka Liveview or whatever Laravel has) you either need to have client-side rendering or duplicate your rendering logic (in something like both PHP and JS for the fast update without refreshing on each click). I'll never duplicate rendering logic again if I can help it and that means client-side render (potentially with SSR for the first render). It avoids so many bugs/issues.

> but in my opinion the web should be HTML first

This just feels dated to me. I fundamentally do not understand this desire. What do you gain from the web being just HTML? What does that even mean? With a CSR framework you are still rendering out HTML, I don't understand why some people care that the HTML was generated server side or client side. The web has moved on from being just documents, it's interactive and that provides a much better UX.
For better or for worse, this will probably have a captcha or similar at the beginning
> Not to mention all the self-righteous posturing of lawyers absolutely convinced this system epitomizes "justice".

I always had respect for the legal profession, but the way the Supreme Court is acting and the fact that nothing is being done about it has made me lose all respect for anyone in the legal profession.

Sure, most lawyers and judges might disagree with the actions of the Supreme Court, but lawyers are hesitant to say anything because they might end up as counsel in a Supreme Court case and don't want the court's ire.

The state of affairs really highlights how much of a dress-up, make-believe game the Legal profession has become.

Ask HN: How does your company handle interrupts?
Our engineering team is constantly interrupted on slack, jira, meetings, etc. Has your organization come up with a better way to keep people in flow while also keeping the little things moving? Wondering how you have designed a way of working to avoid constant context switching.

No Meeting Thursday's are a good start, but has anyone implemented No Slack Tuesdays or something similar that is thoughtful and actually improves everyone's quality of life? Be that the use of snooze or turning off notifications and a policy that sets the ground rules, I am curious how others have addressed this.

> Composting results in the emission of greenhouse gases too - most notable methane which is a 25x stronger GHG than CO2.

Methane is produced when 'bio' waste breaks down in anearobic environment.

Composting is an aerobic process. So yeah, CO2 produced there. But significantly less harmful than what happens to the same stuff in a landfill.

Although in that case, methane may be captured. Of course never 100%. Perhaps far from it.
Seeing how homo sapiens is rather more altricial than precocial suggests to me that attempts to preserve "tradition" completely unchanged are almost ... inhuman.
I have nothing against Google, but I enjoy watching so many people hyperventilating over the wonders of "AI" when it's just poorly simulated intelligence at best. I believe it will improve over time, but the current methods employed are nothing but brute force guessing at what a proper response should be.

>And this is what I said in my original comment, ipv6 has extra goals (like removing NAT day 1).

Extra goals? Removing NAT? Come on now... Don't act like NAT was invented along with the Internet itself, you know it wasn't.

And again, never ever conflate NAT with private networks.

NAT is a packet-modifying technique that is closely associated with stateful firewalls, but it still ain't firewall. If you want private networks, you would actually use a firewall, not NAT.

Seems weird to me to take that stance because i wouldn't hesistate if buying ebook was easier tham pirating it.

Virtualbox all over again?
Hilarious that this happens. Oftentimes when you do something in a traditional IT environment it takes ages to install software (ie, configuring a Windows server with AD and all the related stuff), requires multiple reboots after setting hostname etc. It truly takes ages, lots of progress bars and waiting and making coffee. Meanwhile in an OSS/Linux environment a lot of things are truly trivial and instantaneous to a point where sometimes you gotta ask yourself "was that it?"

>But I think all the justices can see what Thomas was doing was pretty awful and I doubt any of the other justices, even those whose views I find abhorrent, would have gone that far.

I'm not sure that is the case. Ginsburg got a trip from a person and then the court declined to take up a case against said person.[1] The whole article is quite good so I would recommend reading the whole thing.

>This ethics code very clearly brings in consideration of the judge’s spouse’s activities as well, something which, once again is a major problem with Thomas, and none of the other judges as far as I can tell.

If his wife had wanted to give a speech and Thomas told her no, how many articles would there have been about the mean, misogynist, conservative man controlling his wife? It was a lose lose for Thomas on this so long as his wife wanted to do it.

I think this is on his wife, not him. Justice Breyer defended Thomas on this [2] as well.

There are examples of other justices' spouses doing similar things. Roberts' wife for example [3]. I'm sure there are more cases as well.

As a counterpoint: I consult for government agencies that have all separately decided to standardise on Angular.

They mostly publish static content: alerts, updates, reports, etc…

At most they might have a single page somewhere for submitting a payment or a simple form.

But because of this JS framework by default policy all their apps end up with extra complexity, extra build steps, and an awful amount of dependency maintenance.

Most of their sites could have been static HTML files on disk.
I think this falls squarely under the adage that “90% of everything is shit.”

Want to be a developer? It’s dead simple. You can just install node.js and pull in a bunch of random dependencies.
I had a frustrating experiência with Outlook login, some time ago.

I wanted to log into my MS account in a new computer. I expected the usage of their trash app, the Authenticator, to validate my credentials, but instead I was met with a message saying that I had set up a "Github log in" thing. I actually didn't know what it was, but I couldn't find anything related to it in the Authenticator app nor could I log into GitHub to check this "configuration" out, but I couldn't, because I needed access to my email account, which is what I was trying to achieve in the first place, to receive the confirmation code. A login loop hell.

Long story short, I don't remember how I did it, maybe I got access to a browser that was still logged into my GitHub account and I deleted my account, with 7 years worth of data and work, without hesitation. Never felt better. Not going to put my personal repositories there ever again.

Come to think about it... The only thing left to relieve myself of Microsoft burdens is to move my OneDrive data to another thing, maybe an HD, and move my most critical accounts tied to MS to another provider. Now that will feel extremely good.

That only makes sense if the wage price spiral that can drive inflation is also dismissed as an impossible grand conspiracy amongst workers.

What we have currently, however, has components of a profit price spiral, which posts like this one are trying to dismiss as a grand conspiracy.

But that’s just regular analog TV with a private transmitter, right?

Slow-scan television is something quite different because it has so much less bandwidth. From the article:

“Analog broadcast television requires at least 6 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 picture frames per second (see ITU analog broadcast standards), but SSTV usually only takes up to a maximum of 3 kHz of bandwidth. It is a much slower method of still picture transmission, usually taking from about eight seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the mode used, to transmit one image frame.”
As I understood from the discussions last winter here in Austria, a black start is not a single switch, you need to start on one side of a country (where you have power or blackstart-capable plants) and then work your way through the grid. That takes a while and you don't want citizens without power even for a few hours if you can help it.

After 10 years of loyal Ubuntu usage on all my servers, I have gone with NixOS and I have to say that it's not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Home Manager and graphical apps can be a pain, but server side stuff is much, easier IMO and this is now my go-to server distro, where it's available. Postgres, NGINX, HaPROXY, even tougher stuff like Yggdrasil Network, all really easy to configure, though I haven't done any containerisation workloads (yet).
Why not? Most owners seem to love them. They certainly aren’t without faults, but for their price range (especially since in the US there are many government incentives), they seem to be pretty decent vehicles. You could certainly do worse for the price.

Yup. As a team lead, I fretted that I wasn't giving me one of my new team members enough hands-on time / direction. I'd sort of give him stuff with as much context as I had, meaning to follow up in a few days to see how things were going, but never got around to it.

I later got feedback from my manager that my teammate really appreciated that I was giving him space to figure things out on his own rather than micro-managing him!
