It makes most sense to me if you think of change as a result of people doing things and sharing information and the size of the population. About 7% of the people who ever lived are are alive today.

Those first two diagrams about the barista with customers explain it all.

From a customer perspective it is super luxurious to have your own barista. They know my tastes, I never have to wait... But then comes the bill, "€2500 for a cup of coffee?!?". Expecting that you can keep selling €3 cups of coffee in this way is delusional.

Obviously choosing this architecture means you can create 'smooth' conversations from the Front-end's perspective, but it requires an insanely complex system of things underneath it. Expecting that you can efficiently build software like this is also delusional.

Of course there could be valid reasons to do this. As the diagrams indicate, it is about the experience you are providing for people developing applications. I mean a butler level of experience: If you can somehow charge an insane premium for this BFF setup, then have at it. I'd rather grab my own coffee.

Claiming that you are "Simplifying Complex Systems with Backend for Frontends (BFF)" is insane.

I appreciate you finding a way to so eloquently put your thoughts into words. For the longest time, I always felt like a terrible person or somehow socially or emotionally broken for being unable to respond to others grief. It's not that I couldn't imagine it or somewhat feel how they were feeling, but simply the wish that there was sentence or string of words I could put together to make it all okay. I guess anyone who has ever loved someone has felt the same :(

Godspeed.
I believe the comment you reply to is disturbing (or rather insensitive) only because the article author is reading this thread.

But we should be able to have the discussion the grandparent poster wants to have.

If the author wants to do what he described in the article, that's fine – it's up to him and his partner.

However, we should as a society not expect it as a standard IMHO. No one should be expected to sacrifice themselves like that, for apparently little reason. It seems irrational and painful.
It’s ok to love a corp but it would be naive if you think they will come and save you if you got kidnapped by the cartel or something. I love Apple products, and I love the way they design things, but loving a corp, what does that mean really? They not gonna give you 10 million dollars they gonna tell you to get the f outta here like Eminem said
Kids can build games pretty easily now with Scratch. I’ve several friends whose kids are doing this at that age and a couple are writing scratch in school. It’s pretty easy these days.
Reading on a long buss/train ride can be inherently pleasant. Similarly not all car commutes are stuck alone in traffic, I rather enjoyed commuting with my dad.
this is not a great time to IPO at all. At all.

Additionally, Reddit equity is a seedy investment in the very best of market enviroments. Reddits content AND audience is the antithesis of what makes a user base valuable for advertisers. Piracy, NSFW, tech-savy enough to block ads, notoriously stingy etc. pp. Its user base also has a long history of revolting against any sort of attempt to change this set of facts.

Reddit sharply declined in quality over the past years. the neverending attempts to change its nature, in an attempt of ad-friendly sanitation; executed with unrivalled heavy-handedness, nipped any chance of revival in the bud. This is in addition to the feefdom-ness of moderators and a long history of mismanagement by spez himself. Sometimes mismanagement as in censorship. I finally gave up on making myself miserable with Reddit and its echochambers on a daily basis after they priced their APIs to death. That is one stupid decision on a long list of similarly misguided attempts at trying to sweeten the rancid Reddit equity deal.
Do you receive mail to both addresses under the same or any name? Is it required to have the name field populated to receive mail to your physical or P.O. Box?
You're making a thing that's grey out to be black and white. You can impose conditions on money that is deemed by a court to actually be feasible to decline which is why medicaid expansion was ruled constitutional but tying those conditions to medicaid funding in its entirety would have likely been slapped down based on the opinions after the case.

And with this court who has an axe to grind with expansion of federal power I expect the bar is much lower now.
> Product sales are not the aim. The people are what is sold.

Exactly. The business model of companies like Facebook can IMO best be described as "fully automated digital pimping".
See the documentary "The Corporation" (2003)

It looks at what sort of 'people' Corporations are:

The documentary attempts to compare the way corporations are systematically compelled to behave with what it claims are the DSM-IV's symptoms of psychopathy, e.g., the callous disregard for the feelings of other people, the incapacity to maintain human relationships, the reckless disregard for the safety of others, the deceitfulness (continual lying to deceive for profit), the incapacity to experience guilt, and the failure to conform to social norms and respect the law.

Good, you've leveled up. Now explain, why would someone include an adult's age in the title.

Yes, they have heating. Does it work? Yes, seldom. It's even on the news now and then. This area is known for being very cold in winter and working heating never was a problem when I was in school. Now however it seems to be a big problem.

There's no product in the world that would hit a limit if autoscaled globally on AWS. Sure, you could write an app whose literal sole purpose is "take up all memory, CPU and bandwidth, recursively, infinitely", but nobody is making that product. Real products built today have a finite amount of demand, and global cloud capacity is larger than that.

You can't say what architecture is or isn't profitable in general, business is more complicated than that. But besides the realities of commerce, you can easily architect a system such that the autoscaling cost is a fraction of opex.
That's fine until the issue lies with something that your auto-scaled instances talk to, e.g. Redis, Scylla, SQL DB
I don't understand the state of mind of the government elected in 2011. The whole system was set up under the previous government, it would have been costly and difficult to come clean and do the right thing, but they could have blamed the entire thing on Labour and made political hay over it.

Instead Ed Davey doubled down on the lying and persecuting ordinary postmasters, over an issue that until then he had no personal accountability for. This is what democracy is for, to provide the opportunity for a reset, to change course, and a mechanism for accountability of those who made the mistakes. Instead he allowed himself to be co-opted by the system.
People would move to Apple Music which sounds great for Apple.

Or is it a case where if I pay extra in taxes, but I don’t see the monthly payment, it feels better?
In case it helps — I actually have no expectation and hope of a miracle. Having my hopes absolutely crushed is what gets me through the day. The fear and uncertainty of having something to lose was and is far worse (to me) than the grinding daily commitment to meet his needs.

Maybe a miracle will happen one day but I have no expectation of it. I expect him to stay in that bed for years until he dies.
I have no problem with immigration but having worked for many (supposedly critically important) organizations it's clear to me that the immigration system we have now that they depend on to staff their departments (which there are certainly native americans who could be doing those jobs) is just a scam for corporate profits that corrodes society. Additionally I've found immigrants themselves are often possibly even more racist than the average American. Couldn't believe it when I found out the racial disputes that had to be managed between foreign workers.
Do you know anything about usability? And relative cultural meanings?

About 1.5 billion people drive on left (India, UK, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia....). Road sign "to the left" has VERY important meaning for big part of globe. Some people travel a lot and change left/right driving a few times every month..

But perhaps Beyonce songs and American pop culture, should be part of driving exams globally! So everyone can parse your "funny" jokes.
Tell HN: Check fraud schemes abound in "remote work" opportunities
As the title says. Applied to some lower-level remote work opportunities and they will issue a check to you, ask you to cash it via mobile app, it will not have company letterhead on it, and they will ask you to make [via mobile payment app] "working materials" payments before your bank has had time to fully clear the funds. Just wanted you all to be aware and not get burned.
You have to work with other great programmers, or interact with their code. It's hard to come up with good design patterns yourself
>The effort took about 2 months (with a 21K LOC code base, mostly JavaScript)

That isn't a very large codebase for frontend, I'd expect one person to be able to do that in less than one month if they're actually trying.
That's fine until the issue lies with something that your auto-scaled instances talk to, e.g. Redis, Scylla, SQL DB. There are situations where auto-scaling to infinity makes things far worse.
No matter how you slice it, two months in a neonatal ICU is gonna cost. I've no doubt insurance negotiates that initial inflated bill down quite a bit, but under no circumstances is it ever going to be cheap.

No amount of "personal responsibility" is going to stop you from being born a micropreemie, or autism, or any number of other expensive, long-term medical issues... and quite a few of these sorts of things tend to hit you on the other side as a bonus, in income/earning potential.

Healthcare's like national defense; it's simply not the sort of thing you can tackle individually very effectively on a 300 million people scale.
Actually UNWRA funding was spend the money on schools. A majority of now them damaged or destroyed.

But there was a secondary non-UN source of funds via Qatar directly to Hamas. Thus funding source was approved and encouraged by Netanyahu. Netanyahu actually empowered and transferred money to Hamas, while disempowering moderates because he felt that was the best way to ensure there was never a 2 state solution. Read it here in the Israeli press:

React actually wasn't built for SPAs; Facebook built it for widgets on a server-rendered page.

That is why it has no built in SPA features, like routing, data management, data fetching or other batteries a SPA or PWA might want.

Conveniently, it provided a very nice set of primitive and composable APIs so that all of those features can be added on in a way that fits naturally, such as react-router and the rest of the ecosystem.

That's all driven by the community, not the "lighthouse", so to speak.

AngularJS likewise didn't require using the router, and in fact can just as easily run multiple instances on a single page. I haven't used Angular in years, so I don't know the story there. Same goes for Vue, but that's hardly backed by a "lighthouse".

I don't disagree that there's no use for HTMX or server rendering of html. Not everything needs to be a SPA. The problem is the argument is a whole lot less convincing when presented with a lot of incorrect facts
I get a bit the article because you can easily start thinking wrong if you're aren't careful, most obviously by committing the exact mistake of thinking the corporation loves you back. Or by being unduly favourable to an institution that just had its interests aligned with yours in some specific situations and won't act like you want it to in some other situation. Unlike a real loving relationship where you can expect the other person to take your interests into account.

And are other institutions not be loved either? Can you love the Red Cross, the Catholic Church or the US federal government?

And ham radio and fresh air are more things than institutions. Loving a nation is commonplace too.
Ah that makes more sense, I can't read. I thought that the project stopped working all together, hence the startup was finished. I didn't realize it meant that they simply lost enough customers to go under.
My password tool shows me which are oldest. So, quarterly (on tax day) I also make sure to change a few of them.
You still have to share those communities with the same people who make default subs worthless.
The all time low I've ever seen is a post about a very influential person in the modular music space coming out as trans and the top comment being someone grandstanding about how the community was very toxic, meanwhile there were 0 toxic comments in the thread (except that one). Only below that were comments celebrating her achievements and supporting her.
In the case of Elon, please specify if as CEO of Tesla, SpaceX or X.
We have a system where we clock in and out. This reduces the situation to "be clocked in when you work and clocked out otherwise" which is easy to handle psychologically.

So if I'm distracted I can't be clocked in, generating time deficit, which will motivate me to not be distracted.

And on the other hand I'm free to distribute the work any way I want.

Needs honesty and trust of course, but I'd wager that's not an issue for most.
I was just reading about business in the 1700s. Incorporation was granted very rarely, and only when the corporation was deemed to operate in the public interest.

The result was that new corporation were objects of civic pride.

It also meant lots of business was done by unincorporated networks of merchants.

It was pretty amazing how massive networks of individual merchants could operate without corporations. Kind of blew my mind.
Over allocating maps and arrays in standard libs is not really a memory "leak" . Other langs do it.

Then people will use Apple Music which is exactly the leverage Apple has. Apple let Spotify test the market of music streaming. Entered the market at basically the same price. Then charges Spotify 27% to compete with them directly.
Last I checked, Firefox no longer offers the Facebook container feature on fresh install. It was a hidden feature I had to go into about:config to set up... :(

I found a site that seems like it would be fun to try to build games in ( outside of Roblox or Minecraft) called Dot Big Bang https://dotbigbang.com/social they have a GUI builder but also coding and it's 3D out of the box.
My hypothesis is that the debate is difficult because of some mix of difficulty in precisely measuring productivity (which everyone can see) and in the mix of most tasks which work 100% fine remotely and some tasks that work better in-person ("the human thing").

(I'm also management and very much pro-remote.)
> and with no obligation attached to you by labor laws.

I don't think this can be true. An employer has to follow labor laws pertaining to the country of residence of their employees. Typically some sort of legal entity has to be established in those countries.

Helloo externalities.
Not with Monero or mixers. There's thankfully still a few ways to avoid government overreach when dealing with money.
The simplest example, try to empty a bucket on a pipe, you'll have a real struggle, you are gonna be standing there for awhile. Now empty a bucket in a sink, yeah it will fill up and maybe you can do two buckets at once, but after dumping it in one second you can leave it unattended and know that all that water will drain correctly.
The real root of this sort of issue is how the courts treat the standard of probable cause. It's supposed to be that the evidence presented is proof of a crime (but not as far as beyond reasonable doubt, but just that the 1 sided evidence supports it). Instead they often use the lower standard of reasonable suspicion.

As an example, a bag of white powder cannot meet the standard of probable cause by itself. Maybe if the person holding it had a record of trafficking, or something like that. If the instant tests have a 90%+ accuracy rate, then that should be enough for a warrant to seize and test the substance with an high accuracy test. But I would contend that without other evidence it shouldn't be enough for a custodial arrest.

But none of this really matters because the judges are not impartial. They want to think of themselves as good guys, and they think of the cops as good guys. So of course they automatically side with the cops. Or as we in civil things like red flag laws, they generally ignore the "more likely than not" standard to "err on the side of caution" by issuing them almost by default. Absolutely insane that they get away with this, especially the ones who admit it.
The best part about this is that Apple Music historically asked Android users to put in their credit cards, bypassing Android’s own IAP system. (Might have changed a few years ago)
And the housing in those cities scales terribly when you have kids. What might’ve been doable with 1 or 2 people traps you into very high rent or mortgage (+ even worse commute) to have room for a family. I moved out of the west coast - which I really liked as a place - to be closer to family and to pay 1/3 to 1/2 for the housing
Thanks for the new rabbit hole ;-)

there is no accepting it state, people believe in flat earth. There is nothing you can do for them. No fact or reasoning will ever convince them and it only entrenches their convictions.

They want to feel special for figuring out 'the thing' and the reality of it not being 'the thing' means they are idiots and back to being idiots. A largely unacceptable proposition (there are people who do get out).
> It’s also an illustration of how an optimization in one place can lead to bugs downstream by violating programmers’ expectations.

This touched upon a pet peeve of mine for its resemblance with all the talk about undefined behaviour in C and C++. Programmers’ expectations are not codified and do not need to be respected: international standards do.

Hans Reiser on ReiserFS deprecation in the Linux kernel
The ipa/modGRF/Frag/BPC157/TB500 stack is pretty common and does help. T3 and Test can help but are not research peptides. Then there are the Khavinson signaling peptides which are coded in human DNA and known bioactive, but can be a bit dangerous. Not for the faint of heart. Most of the benefit I have gained is from psychopharmacology which is near impossible to get scripts for so I get gray market supply instead; low dose naltrexone, low dose modafinil (better than low dose abilify in my opinion), and amitriptyline. It’s not just what you take it’s also how you take them. To avoid dysautonomia you have to intentionally swing between sympathetic and parasympathetic states. I think there is a subclinical insulin resistance so meds like metformin and semaglutide (ozempic) at really low doses can help. TUDCA is good but over the counter. Im mostly back to normal but still get rough patches on occasion. As someone who is vax injured I’m interested in ACE-2 ligands which are supposed to help reverse the damage done by the spike protein. I’m also interested in off label use of copaxone. It’s massively complex and many people with this are readily willing to take deadly risks in trying new things so underground patient groups are far ahead of the doctors. We’ve already done bigger trials of some ‘promising’ new meds and already know they don’t work. It’ll take medical science many decades to find out the same thing. I have hEDS by way of multiple TNXB variants which have specific personality side effects (like Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory) so it’s pretty easy to find other people with it as we almost always get ME/CFS and we react differently to specific medications - for some there is a resistance to anesthetics. I think in time the brain/gut axis with microbiota biome/virome being important. So diet and a phage cocktail could help as well as a targeted antibody neutralizing small molecules to fix specific autoimmunity problems. These are whole categories of potential medicines which are largely ignored my mainstream medical science.
The project seems to use DocToc to generate the table of contents, and that's what that package.json is in there for. Precisely because of the issues with the NPM ecosystem, it's good that they made sure to add the lockfile.
In practice what that would do is make the platforms even more draconian in how they screw over and abuse the public while giving them the excuse that it isn't the platform's fault, the government is forcing them to be evil.
Yes you do. Negotiation will still leave you hundreds of thousands in debt if you are hospitalized. I know from experience.

You can probably negotiate the bill down to what the insurance pays, but not beyond that. Plus, hospitals don’t think highly of folks that don’t carry insurance. They may refuse to bargain with you at all.

Do you think that 3 million dollar hospital bill will just go to collections? No they are going to sue you and get a judgement on you.

Disclaimer - work at Snowflake. Two quick points to mention.

1. Snowflake has always used blob stores + file data + metadata. Architecturally it’s actually always been very Lakehouse-y

2. Parquet and Iceberg should be equivalent in performance and features. It’s more than playing nicely - it’s more choose your own adventure where all things are equal.
Just checking, you also do pay attention to what kids are actually learning and if their skills are improving? Some of the kids want to learn, not just engage in an attention seeking game, feeling important and healthy relationships with adults.
