> And [AI is] increasingly promoted as a way to reduce human effort in writing, ensuring that people will continue to use it without supervising its output, especially if they are trying to mass-produce content to make money.

Yes, editing is still a thing, but all the crap content producers and SEO junkies jumping on the generative AI bandwagon and slathering AI-generated content across the Web can't possibly proofread all the content they're publishing - that would be counterproductive to their goal of producing as much content as fast as possible.
On Hacker News you need to indent code examples with four spaces - like this:

pgContainer, err := postgres.RunContainer(
ctx, testcontainers.WithImage("postgres:15.3-alpine"

postgres.WithDatabase("test-db"),
postgres.WithUsername("postgres"),
postgres.WithPassword("postgres"),
testcontainers.WithWaitStrategy(
wait.ForLog("database system is ready to accept connections").
Maybe we can’t assert things without evidence. So if we lack evidence we can’t say one way or the other… maybe lack of assertion implies brute?
You hit the nail on the head. I do perceive a lot of people being "no bad employee" absolutists.

All I am looking for is recognition that the content of N matters.

It is part of what I see as a broader phenomenon where people emphasize systems and ignore agents. In reality, agents shape systems and systems shape agents in continuous feedback.
"net income" may be a bit simplistic for the moment, but agreed that it doesn't need to be twice as good. it simply needs to be the best. just because the marginal value of adding people goes down, doesn't mean you shouldn't keep adding them.
One aspect of it is that the 5-15 kid has a ton more spare time. And when practicing is able to be more immersed, not bugged down by real life chores and problems like the 25-35.

Personal history: I started playing guitar around 18 and at ~25 I was way ahead most of my 18-20 year old peers who had started way younger. And I was a jazz snob since like 20.

I did learn the basics of piano and reading music when I was around 7 but never played actively, but it might've helped that I didn't start from scratch at 18. But I was immersed once I started - music was literally all I did in my spare time aside from doing drugs. :D

I'm now in my 40s and have been learning piano for the past 2 or so years. I think I've been progressing quite fast, but it's easy since I already know what to do, it's just another instrument (the challenge is mainly the hand coordination).
thing is, you can't beat oil energy density. And its logistic. going 100% electric is really something big, maybe too big.

A good exemple is synthetic fuel: in Germany, they have really hard issues on biomass collect which is needed for "green fuel". As of today, synthesis come from coal.
And we're talking about Germany,not France.

France, who would need to triple its production of electricity to replace its oil consumption from cars.

and I did not talked about the cropland needed for "biogas" and ethanol fuel.
concrete, steel, agro-industry too...the list is long.
the thing about regulation is you don't get good at it. You get good at a specific area of regulation but that rarely transfers to some entirely different set of regulations from different authorities in different places.

Saying "they're getting good at regulation" is like saying a paleontologist is "getting good at science". Sure some concepts cross, but actual understanding and competence needed to do the new job at hand don't.
It's not just the stats protocol, it's the underlying metric, too. statsd is just a way of recording/transmitting metrics.

If I transmit a statsd metric representing "CPU usage", I am still sampling it. E.g., I might read the CPU usage every second & generate a statsd stat. That's a sample rate of 1Hz. I have to choose some sampling frequency, since the API most OS's expose is "what's the current CPU usage?".

If the metric is "total number of HTTP requests", then I can definitely just transmit that metric every time I get a request. We're not sampling for that metric.

The latter is inherently a discrete event, with which we can know every data point of, though. Things like CPU, memory, are either fundamentally continuous, or their implementations are simply sampling it.

I do agree the model matters too; Prom's tendency to just poll /metrics endpoints every n seconds means even things like HTTP events are inherently sampled.

Is more like a proven fact. Temperatures measured on hard landscape of modern parks based on stone is consistently higher than on old fashioned parks with big trees and fallen leaves.

Sadly, cities still love this sun scorched inhospitable parks with passion because:

1) civil responsibility. A branch can kill a person and politicians hate this possibility

2) they are much easier to tidy up and much cheaper to maintain. Cheaper in the sense of "people will pay for their air conditioner, not us".

3) Vehicles can pass easily over stone surfaces (Also cleaning vehicles). Is not so easy to clean and drive over gravel
honest question: how are you writing integration tests? We are writing these as separate test suite often with the same test style. And in this scenario testcontainers are very valuable.
It feels wrong and an anti-pattern to copy-paste a 98% subjectively correct answer as your own, just to sprinkle the 2% (again, subjectively) that it was missing to be the Answer.

Why can’t we highlight specific content and create a discussion thread hinged off the highlighted part?

Creating a properly written, end-to-end answer for a complex question is an heroic task if all you wanted to point out was that there was a demonstrably better way to do Item 15(a)(5)(iii) and the author missed it.

It’s funny that we, collectively as programmers, use git all day long to solve this problem for modifying discrete blocks of programming language text with discussion and more, but can’t seem to ever apply the same tools and fascination to written English.

Even more interesting now that we use the best answers to train models. You’d think there would be more discipline involved in making the best answer even bestier. (Like, say, Wikipedia)
If you have a dependency like a third party API (or even internal code), and you write an API client, then depend on that client, would it be considered couple code?

In such cases, if I am using dependency injection and creating a (stub?) versions of that client which returns a hardcoded or configured output, would that be considered a mock? OR would this be OK and not "coupled"?

I programmed the flight software interface to those laser rangefinders. While they are beasts, they were very touchy in testing. I've sinced moved on to other jobs, but I was still quite nervous that they would fail on descent. I was texting members of the team asking them to check that the lasers were working in orbit. I was horrified to hear that they weren't responding. I thought my software had failed or worse, damaged the lasers. Hearing that NDL was going to be used instead was an immense relief to me. What's more, we've now qualified NASA's planned landing instrument to TRL 9!

I should also add that from my very first phone call with members of the software team, we clicked. It's an absolutely gobsmacking group of hard working, brilliant, experienced, and yet still inquisitive and passionate people! I've never met a finer team and it was an honor to be able to play a very small part in all this.
It's interesting (to me) that you see half a decade as "keeping" engineers. I've been working at the same place for 30, the other developers for over 20. Clearly we're insane :)

Also, you phrase "keeping them" as if that's the key goal. Having developers stay longer working on projects for longer, leveraging domain expertise, building relationships, getting a deeper understanding of the system and its architecture are all good. Merely keeping them though serves no purpose.

Frankly, if an outside tool is sufficient then use it. Once the spend on that tool exceeds 2x a salary then -consider- moving I in house. (15k a month is getting there.)

BUT factor in commitment costs. You can hire a guy to build it, but you're committing to that post "forever". You've now got one more thing to look after,one more emp to manage, one more non-core project consuming resources. Do this a few times, and, well....

It's a fine line. There are benefits to moving it in-house, but the costs are not trivial.

This post is extremely speculative and the author stretches the CS analogies way, way too far, but the gist is reasonably accurate. Time does pass faster on average as you get older because our brain doesn't bother to record repeated experiences.

But guess what? That means that all you have to do to make time pass more slowly is bring more novelty into your life. I can say from personal experience that the year I spent living abroad seemed to go on forever. Every single day was filled with new experiences. There was a huge amount of continuous novelty and learning and growth. It was really nice. I need to move to a new country again.
>> hospitals are actually there (from their perspective, at least) to make money

> Aren't most hospitals non-profit?

"Non-profit" is not referring to how the company operates. "Non-profit" refers to the owners extracting profit. Of course there are extra pieces, such as regulated transparency, but "non-profit" as a category are not wholly the donation-supported organizations that first come to mind.

In other words, if you are the owner of a successful non-profit, you'll have to simply pay yourself a market rate (TM) salary for such a successful executive as yourself. Instead of buying lavish Christmas presents like all those executives at greedy "profit" companies, your family members will only be able to get lucrative positions at your non-profit.

you seem to be arguing against a strawman position that nobody actually holds or could plausibly hold
That depends on your priorities. For example, not sitting in traffic is a nice capability as is the ability to eat dinner and have a beer on the way home. Anyone under retirement age should also value the capability not to make the world worse, too.
you, too, seem to be arguing against a strawman position that nobody actually holds or could plausibly hold: that 'regulation in governmental policy is a mathematical theory'

by contrast, i was arguing against the position you actually stated, 'if you find no regulation in areas where consumers are being harmed it can often be even worse'. there is no historical case with no regulation in areas where consumers are being harmed that is 'even worse' than the great leap forward or the congo free state. you don't seem to be attempting to defend that position, or to clarify it; i suppose that means you agree that you were incorrect?

you seem to be attempting to distract people by posting a bunch of wishful-thinking nonsense that isn't relevant to the issue we were discussing, thus changing the subject. while that may be a good rhetorical strategy for rallying a political base, it's a terrible way to figure out the truth of a complex matter
Hacking isn't the only way to cause a malfunction; a hammer tends to do it.

You can't deny that one of the functions of a server is to reply to good-faith requests, and that a DDoS intentionally degrades that function. What is that if not causing malfunction? You're looking for nuance where there is none.

(And yes, it's a weird analogy. It was the closest I could come up with on short notice, and I think that's illustrative of the dangers of analogic reasoning. FWIW yours fails on the same audience/targeting aspect as the first one.)
We use [kubedock](https://github.com/joyrex2001/kubedock) to run testcontainers in kubernetes clusters. As long as you're only pulling the images, not building or loading them (explicitly not supported by kubedock), it works pretty well.
I think ClickHouse is becoming a default storage for observability nowdays: https://clickhouse.com/use-cases/logging-and-metrics

Not sure how I hadn't encountered this before, I LOVE this pattern.

I find integration tests that exercise actual databases/Elasticsearch/Redis/Varnish etc to be massively more valuable than traditional unit tests. In the past I've gone to pretty deep lengths to do things like spin up a new Elasticsearch index for the duration of a test suite and spin it down again at the end.

It looks like Testcontainers does all of that work for me.

My testing strategy is to have as much of my application's functionality covered by proper end-to-end integration-style tests as possible - think tests that simulate an incoming HTTP request and then run assertions against the response (and increasingly Playwright-powered browser automation tests for anything with heavy JavaScript).

I'll use unit tests sparingly, just for the bits of my code that have very clear input/output pairs that afford unit testing.

I only use mocks for things that I don't have any chance of controlling - calls to external APIs for example, where I can't control if the API provider will be flaky or not.

Yep. My last Steam purchases include Cities: Skylines, Graveyard Keeper, Mini Metro, etc. All games I bought after I pirated and played them for a few hours. If I can't pirate a game, then I won't buy the game. Exceptions include games with a proper demo, like The Stanley Parable, or games that're love on first sight, like Lethal Company.

I don't know the answer to this question, but isn't it possibly better (less dangerous to society) for a pedophile to have a computer screen that generates pictures to satisfy his cravings, regardless of how disturbing they may be to others, rather than trying to satisfy them in the real world with real people?

I guess one could argue that having access to digital images could increase a pedophile's cravings. I don't know if there are any factual studies or data to confirm or refute this. It's often bandied about that one reason young people aren't having as much sex is because porn is so easily accessible. If true, it seems that would apply to pedophiles as well.

The problem is the US has for-profit medical insurance as well as mutual insurance (collectively owned by their members). The laws were altered in the 90s to permit mutuals to convert to for-profit. This was generally a bad move as it takes out any real incentive to manage costs when jacking them up is the only way to boost profits so the C-levels can get 8-figure bonuses.
I think it’s a cultural difference. I’m also from a non-dubbing country (Netherlands) and I can’t stand dubbed content either. On the other hand people tell me they can’t stand subtitles because it “reveals” what they’re going to say before they say it.
Counter point. My parents didn’t let me watch dubbed shows, and didn’t speak our native language because rhetorical wanted me to speak unaffected English.

I can’t speak any languages, but in school my English was insanely good. To the point of perfect scores in the college scholastic exams, and when I was in uni for engineering, I took on an English major for fun with essentially no impact on my work load.

You can generalize but you can also specialize.

Interesting post on a library I've used a lot.

> Requests has always had modules intended for its use and only its use. At some point, we tried to document them for ourselves and that led to people using them externally and then filing bugs against them. This is a perfect example of 3 adults who did not consent explicitly to the use, but Python says that we must have because we didn't hide them well enough.

I don't understand the problem? It's bad that users reported bugs in internal modules?
I am travelling right now, freeform exploration of another country is full of novelty. It feels like I have been here for a month but it has only been two weeks.

The downside is I am exhausted. I also couldn't imagine doing any of my work while travelling even if I had a computer with me. There is downtime enough to do some, but I don't think I'd have the capacity to engage with it. I think advanced abstract thinking relies on a bit of cognitive room being created by routine. Perhaps that is at the consequence of the routine moments disappearing into a void of compressed time.
The actual paper[1] clarifies something I suspected before even reading it: they were not able to rule out that these were created by early modern humans:

> Unfortunately, the context of Le Moustier allows reasonable doubts as to whether the authors of these pieces were Neanderthals. This is so because there are no radiometric dates available for our assemblage and direct dating of the lower shelter at Le Moustier [56 to 40 ka (75)], which is adjacent to the upper shelter from where our adhesives were excavated, situates the site at the end of the Neanderthal presence in Europe. At this time (76), and even before (33, 77), H. sapiens incursions into southern Europe make it possible that Neanderthals and H. sapiens were present at the same sites.

The phys.org article should have mentioned this! I suspect a lot of these "Neanderthals were more advanced than we thought stories" are actually "modern humans left Africa earlier we than thought."

It's a problem that needs solving, but it's tricky. It's just a smaller version of the commune problem.

You can put money right now into property for an investment, there are lots of managed funds.

Buying a home is different. It's putting money into something you love rather than booze and hookers. It's a forced investment in your future, it needs to be fun/fulfilling for what it replaces. It's psychology.

If you are going into it with friends you need to solve the psychology. Will you spend time/weekends working on it when your friends get part of that $? Will you love love it if it's shared or does it become an object that sucks up money? They want to sell their object after x years, you want to keep what you love and invested in.

The real solution is probably cities allowing developers to build what people want. Homes half/third the size.
