This is also right, and a good thing to hold in the other hand.

Reconciling these two forces needs a healthy org that allows employees to grow, along with a recognition that sometimes the forces conflict, and sometimes they don't. All we can do is play the cards we're dealt in the best way.

If you really want to learn new tech, that's what the off hours are for. I say this as someone who has a lot of things that intrude into those hours. I'm (slowly) learning frontend after being a backend/compiler dev for a long time. It's...not easy, but I like it!

Something else I forgot to mention -- when you add the cameras to your network, give them a static DHCP lease by MAC address in your router (separate ones, for both wifi and ethernet if applicable)

If you don't and IP addresses cycle, your RTSP stream URLs will change and your recording software will just consider the camera disconnected. The Wyze app sometimes will get confused too (with ethernet in particular, if IP addresses change), and rebooting the cameras sometimes means physically cycling power if you don't know where it's at in your network. Better to just reserve a specific IP up front, write it down, and never think about it again.

I also use a lot of these types of crappy smart plugs [0] throughout the house (as well as starting to replace some with actual wifi outlets [1] for aesthetics) and it's actually really useful to be able to force a power cycle on certain things from my phone.

Are you suggesting that the macroeconomic environment in terms of funding and performance expectations of startups hasn't changed signficantly in the last few years?

VC-money and ZIRP is a convenient shorthand for what's changed, neither are terms I think particularly encapsulate what did change, but I think it's very hard to argue that it's still just as easy to get a bunch of funding without a business model. (aside from in AI perhaps?)
It's also pretty standard stuff to obfuscate your code when you're doing something dirty. The problem with obfuscation is that, for the end user, there's not a great way to determine which use case the developer had in mind which means one should probably approach such an application with extreme caution.

A boring and simple tech stack can mean you focus on delivering features rather than trying to work out which part of your complicated system is broken.

The career benefit to me is that a simple tech stack allows a company to move fast and prosper. A prosperous company is usually financially rewarding even if it's not the most mentally rewarding.

Getting tangled up in shiny new toys can harm your ability to move fast and it can have a negative effect on your career at that particular company. Especially since the shiny new toy today is old and rusty tomorrow, but boring stacks will always be old reliable.

Ask HN: What tech stack would you use as a back end for a mobile app in 2024?
I have an idea for a side project and now I'm analyzing different options for backend to serve the Flutter mobile app.

I write Go professionally and it will be generally easy to provide REST endpoints backed by Postgres as storage.

That said, I will also need to take care of user registration, authorization, content management, etc.

I am not very much experienced with Django, but it's a very popular choice in one-man startups. It also seems that there are many more ready components and production-ready libraries for Django and Django REST.

What backend stack would you choose today?

Broadcom released new quadcore 32bit router SOCs as recently as last year. The rpi may have moved on, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a niche for an rpi -1 what with inflation. The rpi zero 2 is 64bit and the same price as the old one. But cheaper is always cheaper. With microcontrollers growing to 32bit, you still see 8bit used all the time just for the price difference. If the 32bit part is even a little cheaper on a high volume item, it will be used, and routers lean on free operating systems heavily.

A sales team gets measured on the sales they make - but they don't own the end to end process of building the thing that they're selling.

It's entirely possible to measure teams on business outcomes without having them own things end-to-end, but to be really effective in this they'll need to collaborate with the other teams across the company - which is generally a desirable outcome.
Does it matter to remove portability to platforms we don't care about any more? It's a question with no objectively/universally right or wrong answer. The obvious counterpoint I'd mention is big endian: is it worth fixing your endianness bugs? Or is it ok to assume little endian since the vast (VAST) majority of software does not care about the very few remaining big endian platforms? 32-bit could become a similar situation. It happened with 16-bit, right? Nobody today cares whether their modern code is portable to 16-bit machines.

More generally, I disagree with absolutist takes on programming. There's no right or wrong in programming. There's just requirements and choices.

It was not directly related to the Stolen Generation.

I get Dan's desire for minimalistic styling but a little margin around the page would be nice for readability purposes.

But on a more contextual note: I would contend that microservice architectures are in effect much simpler than monoliths. The UNIX philosophy of small tools that do one thing well is still very applicable. It's easier to deploy small changes quickly than the massive deploys that could take significant amounts of time. Deploying to a FaaS is quick and easy for almost all things.

If your product requires complex coordination/orchestration just as an operational modality then I'd question the value of that product design regardless of architecture type implementation, even for web-scale products. AND this is really a different discussion.

The argument is that unpaid or minimally paid internships--especially if they're pervasive for specific types of roles--are basically not viable for a lot of people.

There are counter-arguments. You're getting free on the job training even though you're barely worth it even working for free. And lots of jobs like acting and writing, can involve years of trying (often unsuccessfully) to land something that pays.
Launch HN: Dart (YC W22) – Project management with automatic report generation
Hi HN, We’re Zack and Milad and we’re building Dart (https://itsdart.com). Dart is a fully-featured project management tool that can automatically create reports, fill in task properties, generate subtasks, detect duplicate tasks, and more. Here’s a quick demo of some of the highlight features: https://youtu.be/CMsBAv9CCyU

Like many others we grew frustrated with the constant upkeep in creating and organizing tickets in Jira and other PM tools. We routinely wasted as much as seven hours a week on repetitive PM chores like cleaning up the backlog or drafting changelog updates. At Zack’s previous company he even built a system to try to automate some of this work. In conversations with other founders and engineers we learned that he was far from the only person doing this.

We started Dart when we realized we could bring a new approach to this problem through techniques enabled by generative AI. There are of course a lot of project management tools out there, but none have the ability to automate most of the busywork without having to configure long sets of rules.

For example, one of the most helpful functions is summarizing work that was accomplished over some time interval, by automatically creating a changelog update for it that can be pasted into company blogs or elsewhere. Another highly used feature is giving Dart a large task or PRD and generating a recommendation for how to break it up into more manageable subtasks.

Over the last two years we’ve continued to build a broad set of PM functionality in Dart (task management, docs, roadmaps, etc.) along with what we hope is a neatly vertically integrated application of gen AI that adds value.

Dart is built with Vue on the frontend, Django on the backend, and uses various gen AI models such as GPT-4. We embed almost all of the content that goes into the app for later retrieval and search. Over time we build up context for users, workspaces, working patterns, etc. and are able to provide this context to do situation specific few-shot prompting or RAG, depending on the situation. For better or worse we’ve implemented most of our LLM infrastructure internally and are largely calling OpenAI APIs directly.

While Dart improves its recommendations as users work on more tasks, ultimately it’s not quite ready to replace your product manager. You’ll probably still need to evaluate if the recommendations make sense for your team, and make any adjustments before confirming them. By having a helpful companion offering suggestions as you go we’ve still found that this process ends up net saving time–about 12% of time spent in PM tools according to our users. You can think of it like a helpful tool for generating ideas as opposed to a product that will fully strategize and do all of your work for you (at least for now!).

Our current users come from a wide range of backgrounds including other founders, developers, writers, small business owners, consultants, researchers, etc.

You can try out Dart for free at https://app.itsdart.com/sign-up. We’d really appreciate any and all feedback or ideas in the comments!

Many are, but some of the "errors" are not helpful while code is in progress. Why do I need to see them while typing if they can be easily auto-fixed later? It's just more useless visual clutter to worry about.
What happens when you trash ('remove') files on a different partition than your $HOME?

I mostly use Netflix as somewhere you’ve reached a technical point where you need to spread horizontally. As StackOverflow you can scale rather far without doing so if your product isn’t streaming billions of gigabytes of video to the entire world through numerous platforms. So what I mean by it is that many of will never reach those technical requirements. Sorry that I wasn’t clear. I don’t disagree with what you say at all, but I do think you can very easily “over design” your IT landscape. Like we have a few Python services which aren’t build cleverly and run on docker containers without clever monitoring. But they’ve only failed once in 7 years and that was due to a hardware failure on a controller that died 5 years before it should’ve.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

In the last century lots of things that were considered science fiction has become normal parts of our lives. And not that long ago "aliens don't exist" was the default and only crazies believed in them. Now it's mainstream that there is a high probability at least somewhere in the universe, the only argument needed is that we exist, so of course it could happen again or before. We're not as special as we like to think. We've had hearings regarding UFOs (yes, yes, I know it doesn't imply aliens) in the congress.

But if you want to reduce it to magic go ahead. And the part you quoted was regarding them choosing not to communicate with us, if that wasn't clear.
The entire premise is unfalsifiable because it requires construction of an impossible thing:

We're fully aware the vaccine does cause some polio infections, and the countries that are seeing cases are still in the middle of their vaccination campaigns.
> More businesses should just use paper.

… or rather, digital processes shouldn’t throw away the benefits of paper.

E.g.: document databases instead of fixed-schema tabular (paper can accept more data than was anticipated), append-only databases instead of update-in-place (paper doesn’t forget). I’m a big fan of Datomic and similar databases because of that.

It's the old coupling versus cohesion problem, isn't it? The tighter the coupling the more likely that abstractions leak across API boundaries. The tighter the monorepo the less likely there's a concerted effort to avoid breaking changes and consider long term API stability.

> Monoliths aren’t very useful in many organisations where you need to build and connect 300+ systems

Seems like the mistake is building 300+ systems instead of a handful of systems.

A Google team published a paper on this last year: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3593856.3595909

> When writing a distributed application, conventional wisdom says to split your application into separate services that can be rolled out independently. This approach is well-intentioned, but a microservices-based architecture like this often backfires, introducing challenges that counteract the benefits the architecture tries to achieve. Fundamentally, this is because microservices conflate logical boundaries (how code is written) with physical boundaries (how code is deployed). In this paper, we propose a different programming methodology that decouples the two in order to solve these challenges. With our approach, developers write their applications as logical monoliths, offload the decisions of how to distribute and run applications to an automated runtime, and deploy applications atomically. Our prototype implementation reduces application latency by up to 15× and reduces cost by up to 9× compared to the status quo.

Worth the read.
>while others are fine with "occasional" discrepancies

I guess I'd probably be okay with that if the only thing I ever used the computer for was gaming.
Just my likely unpopular opinion, I think this is not the right question to be answered first.

In my own personal and likely unpopular opinion I think the right question to ask first is "Should one assign personification or anthropomorphism to a chat bot?" The answer I believe the answer is a resounding NO, especially if that bot is not hosted locally and prevented from ever talking to the internet. I will delve even further into conspiracy or spoilers and suggest that this act will put people of all ages and security clearances at risk of volunteering sensitive information to corporations that will self-profile their psychological profile, personal secrets, habits and other potentially dark patterns. Chat bots are the next evolution beyond social programming through social media algorithm manipulation and should be avoided at all costs unless one has the discipline to know consciously and continuously treat the bot as a data-feed into a corporation. What's more is that with time the bot will gain the trust of it's human target and slowly but progressively manipulate the targets behavior from algorithm changes by the bots operators.

So to expand on the question posited by WSJ, the answer depends on what one wants the corporation they are interactive with, the third-party data brokers purchasing the data, questionable organizations and ultimately their government to know about them. Once that data is captured and sold, erasing it would be as feasible as deleting a picture that was shared on anonymous chan boards regardless of statutes.

You might find it hard to believe, but it's significantly worse in the UK. We have significantly fewer doctors, nurses, hospital beds per capita, and pay less into healthcare.

That's surely not even cost-effective in the short term. It would be cheaper to pay to get them back working again.

The NHS is quite efficient I think compared to comparable health systems but it's massively under-resourced.

So it's all relative. It might not be "stellar" from your perspective, but France and Germany have probably among the best health systems in the world. The UK's used to be quite good only a few years ago.
