Are you suggesting that people working at companies you don't like should be banned from HN simply because of who their employer is, or that they should not be allowed to reveal conflict of interest when discussing topics related to their employer?
Yes it is! This is an absolute pain for Radiologists. Especially in India where there are no standards for viewers
Had Oracle stopped investing into MySQL, may be people would have moved on. But they didn't. Just like when people were worried about JAVA, instead we have 15 years of continuous improvement. And that is the same with MySQL. There are lots of features MySQL has as defaults, while postgres simply accept it is not something they want to deal with but leave it to extensions.

There is a diverse mix here and always has been - it's one of the best things about this place.

Rolling up a statement to apply to a whole group of people is defined as stereotyping and not the highest version of critical thought. To state all Capitalists on HN would sell a CVE to the highest bidder is just as ridiculous as saying a Communist/Libertarian/Socialist would.

Not sure why family-friendly policies should want to do that. You want existing children to thrive. Encouraging more is another kettle of fish entirely?
Coming at this from a small sample size, every time I've seen it used has been because some of the developers on a team love it and think it's cooler than the other options. And, over time, the operational experience has gotten better (AWS' Postgres support for RDS/Aurora is all recent, for example); and, in fairness, I'd take psql over SQL Server any day of the week.

Regarding why it has popularity beyond mySQL/mariaDB is still a confounding mystery as far as I'm concerned. The additional behaviors Postgres tends to encourage (I'm looking at you, publisher/subscriber and trigger functions) seems to lead to devs advocating it as 'easy' while those in my position are left to keep the damn thing running.
I use Hugo, have considered moving to something more modern, but it just works.

All questions I have, are solved by ChatGPT, e.G. adding "_small" to jpgs.

{{ $newImageURL := replace .Params.image ".jpg" "_small.jpg" }}

so I don't need to learn or remember Hugo API.

Quite recently I've added jamstack to reduce image sizes etc. to make the site faster.
Radio hardware is not that expensive actually. The tech behind it is very basic and has existed for more than a century now. Hells, you can build an AM radio with just a bunch of cable and an amplifier [1]. Of course, these new radios are a bit more complicated than that, but basic SoCs are also very inexpensive nowadays, and when you get to economies of scale, things get even cheaper. It was not a long time ago, low power radios were even children's toys

It's much less emphasized compared to MySQL, I didn't even know about it until your comment, and search results are sparse.

MySQL has had multiple viable storage engines for most of its existence. MyISAM, InnoDB and more recently MyRocks.
A few years ago my family went to a pub / Thai restaurant, and the portions were larger than we were expecting. I asked the owner if he could put the leftover food in a box for me to take away; he said, "Sorry, I can't do that -- what if you took it home and then got sick?" I knew that they also did take-away; so I countered, "Could you give me a box and then forget about it?" He smiled and got me some take-away boxes, then left so he wouldn't see what I did with them.

So, it was sufficiently unusual that I had to be creative to make it happen.
> In their 2019 book, Love, Money, and Parenting: How Economics Explains the Way We Raise Our Kids, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti theorise that the realisation a comfortable life has become impossible to attain without a top-quality education has sparked intense status competition between parents. They feel compelled to invest huge amounts of time and effort into optimising their kids’ upbringing. This may have become a deterrent.

This paragraph seems to contradict the thesis of the article that this is a cultural shift as opposed to an economic one. Or perhaps culture is downstream from economics.
But you can do left shifts and right shifts. Your analogy works in comparison to right shifts, but it's backwards if compared to left shifts.
(1) I did try it

(2) I felt like I was thrown out at sea 20 miles without a lifejacket

(3) I am not sure how you square "hyper-focused" with not "losing context", this is not so much as a criticism of the particular UI but a challenge anybody in this space is facing

(4) As a newcomer to this interface and this discussion the need for the big picture with context is much greater than the need to zoom in close (how do I know that I care enough to zoom in close w/o the the context?)

(5) Not so sure lesswrong is the best example if you want a broad range of people to feel included.

I've developed a smart RSS reader YOShInOn and a bookmark manager/web crawler/personal data lake/image sorter FRaXiNUs based on the same code base which will probably get merged back with the former. I did some experiments with running YOShInOn against comment feeds that were really promising so better interfaces for comments have been on my mind. Look up my profile and send me an email.
What industry thinks is right? We don't have a sound solution for breaches, 20% of attack surface can be covered with formally verified software, that's a lot of effort for a smallish gain, so risk should be mitigated somehow and minimization of data hoarding is an available mitigation.

I remember when I was younger, people with international family often would take 3-4 week trips to visit. That was because it was so expensive and painful to go, and there were so many people to visit when you went, and infrastructure there wasn't great at "popping over" for day visits to each of these places. Plus, it was often a once in two-four year visit to see an entire side (or all) of your family. So these kids would just pop out of school for this extended period. Longest I remember was almost 2 months. Usually the parents worked out a deal with the school and brought a bunch of work to be done on the trip, with an exam or makeups when they returned. I was one of these kids, and it sucked. But it was possible with the right support structure. I think when people abscond with no thought to the continued education, that's a huge problem.
My kids are still playing catchup in terms of illnesses since the pandemic. Our district masked for the first two years. Neither of my kids were sick for those two years.

Since then they’ve been playing catchup immunity wise as they’ve been exposed to all the colds and other viruses. Which means they are absent more.

I’m hopeful that they are almost caught up in terms of what they have been exposed to and the amount of times they are sick in a year will be declining.

Seriously it blows my mind that folks say masks don’t work because if you’ve had school age children you know how often they are sick and for those two years the district was masking we had nothing. It was glorious while it lasted.
Exactly this.

The curtain was pulled back and people realized the lies they were being fed by companies.

Turns out the business won’t fold if people are remote, and if you’re out sick that immovable deadline gets…moved.

> I’ve seen reference that people tend to bias towards odd numbers for “random” numbers.

I can see the logic behind that, but for the trick in question it’s not like they have a choice (emphasis added):

> Ask your friend to quickly think of a two-digit number between 1 and 100, both digits odd and both digits different from each other.

One thing they don’t mention on the page is that after all the constraints, only a fifth of the original hundred are valid choices: 13, 15, 17, 19, 31, 35, 37, 39, 51, 53, 57, 59, 71, 73, 75, 79, 91, 93, 95, 97. So while on the surface it may seem like you’re guessing one number out of a hundred, you’re guessing one out of twenty.

Their APIs are not very reliable and getting proper support takes ages even though you have the correlation ID in hand and the employer spends millions of dollars every month on Azure cloud resources.

The Azure portal is terrible. If I need to check something across our 5000+ subscriptions looking for a resource is an absolute chore. The way opening things expands and scrolls horizontally pisses me off.

Functions are the worst thing I always had to deal with. It's weird... it's some kind of .net runtime running somewhere. Most if not ALL Function documentation revolves around clickety click bullshit with VSCode. Say you want to provision with terraform you need to pack a zip file with the exact file structure explained from instructions buried among 300 screenshots of VSCode guides. Its also a pain in the ass to troubleshoot.
To use an example: The AppGW TLS cert/KeyVault issue.

If it works manually, but not via Terraform, it's the fault of Terraform (or possibly the underlying Go SDK, small disclaimer). The ARM API is used by the Azure portal, as well as all the SDK's.

Of course it's totally possible it doesn't work manually. It did last time I checked, and it's a pretty foundational functionality - so I'd be surprised if it didn't.

I would recommend just writing one yourself. It's not very hard, and the process of writing it will make you intimately familiar with how it works, so you won't feel overwhelmed.

Just writing simple software feels way better than reading docs for an arcane tool that will change on you over time due to updates.

Hugo comes out of the box with headers and footers, but you'll probably want to grep around a bit before you understand them fully.

I've used it on Ubuntu and derivatives. My only observation is there are many different packages for wine, and selecting the best one for the distribution seems to make a difference. Installing directly never worked for me.
>The outcome will matter less than having an answer. And I do think it will be a negative outcome either way, because it will obsolete lot of beautiful math, and replace it with a more mechanical process.

The negative outcome will have exactly zero implications about anything. Except "turns out we were right all along" polynomial problems are just fundamentally less hard than problems you can verify the solution of in polynomial time. This has ZERO implications on anyone, except the mathematicians who prove it, who will get a price and quite a bit of academic fame. That is literally it.

>But doing that is more complicated than, assuming there is a SAT solver, plug the SAT instance into it and see if there is a solution (and you can get, for a finite family of instances, a similar guarantee you would get from the existence proof).

Even is SAT is P that doesn't imply a solution can feasibly be found. And if P neq NP, then SAT might not be P.

"Companies" don't make decisions, people in management positions do. These people just aren't going to fire themselves. Nor do they want to downplay in any way how super important they are by eliminating lower level management positions, because maybe that just sets them up for elimination on the next round. They will instead say more management positions are needed and critical to justify high salaries, bonuses, and other perks.
Pedagogy relies on more than mere exposure to information.

To a substantial degree, information central to an education has been reasonably readily available since the early 20th century, a combination printing, cheap paper, and public libraries. Not entirely as convenient as online Internet access, to be sure, but a low barrier for a motivated student. There are notable examples of self-taught prodigies[1] ...

... but overall, organised, school-based education seems to scale vastly better. Teachers don't merely expose but guide, at least in the best cases.

I'm not saying "don't care", but to literally think the human race is going to go extinct, and to stop reproducing or wish people would stop, and to live in general anxiety and fear, is absurdly ridiculous.
> I'm well familiar with Opensearch now being the preferred choice over Elasticsearch

That's interesting feedback, I am using Elasticsearch and was looking into Opensearch as an alternative. What I see from their respective repositories is that Elasticsearch is more actively developed, it receives almot 3x commits in the same amount of time. Plus, as some of my clients want to install on-prem, it's not clear to me if you can get commercial support for on-prem installations.

I'm confused. I posted to the exact same article (same URL) a day ago. The one on the homepage is from 9 hours ago and somehow points to the same thing. I didn't think HN would allow dupe URLs. I wonder why mine was ignored and the new post accepted?
Well shit, this is a bit concerning for a reason not discussed:

Canada is the world's largest producer of tritium, one of the crucial fuels for fusion. They do this through their heavy water reactor fleet. Without it, it will be additionally difficult to launch fusion power into a viable power system... We will probably need to invest in breeder reactors once Q>3 is achieved.
Wow, incredible achievement to build Postgres replication.

Something so many people use.
Inspiring.

I hope I build something that’s used at this scale.

Show HN: Clace – Platform for hypermedia driven internal web tools
I am building https://github.com/claceio/clace, an open source platform to develop and deploy hypermedia driven web apps for internal tools. For running multiple web applications on a single machine, Clace provides functionality which usually requires stitching together multiple services: reverse proxy like nginx/caddy (for domain/path based routing, TLS certs, static file serving), application server like uwsgi/gunicorn with micro-framework like flask (for API handling, HTML templates) and deployment infrastructure like containers/VMs/k8s (for isolation across apps, versioning and staged deployments, gitops). For internal web apps, Clace provides similar functionality in a single lightweight binary.

Clace and its plugins are implemented in go. User applications are developed in Starlark, which uses a python inspired syntax. Clace is intended for use cases where internal tools need to provide access to backend infrastructure like databases, APIs or scripts. Each Clace app runs in a security sandbox, only operations approved by the admin are allowed for each app. App developer can make code changes but they need to stay within the defined rules. For internal tools, where the goal is to glue together external APIs, Starlark works great as the glue code. Being hypermedia driven, with HTMX support, there is no or minimal user javascript required on the frontend. Apps have no build step, so apps can be installed from github url directly.

The goal is to build a platform for developing internal tools. Since there are no python/nodejs dependencies to install, easy app distribution is the advantage of Clace for local use. The dev environment for Clace apps including live reload is available without any additional setup (just add the --dev option during app create). Rundeck like jobs for operational use cases are planned. Currently, free-form applications are supported.

To install and try it out, run

curl -L https://clace.io/install.sh | sh
source $HOME/clhome/bin/clace.env
clace server start &

clace app create --auth-type=none --approve /disk_usage github.com/claceio/clace/examples/disk_usage # This installs a du like webapp
clace app create --auth-type=none --approve /book github.com/claceio/apps/utils/bookmarks # This installs a bookmark manager using sqlite for persistence

On Windows, use pwsh -Command "iwr https://clace.io/install.ps1 -useb | iex" to install Clace (or use powershell).

The installed apps are available at https://localhost:25223/disk_usage and https://localhost:25223/book.

Do try it out, would appreciate any feedback.

Based on my reading of the license, it doesn't seem to. If all you do is forward the request to the server, then maybe. I'm not a lawyer, though.

Bicep is just a set of macros for the JSON templating. I get why it was invented, I tried to use it about a dozen times, have always fallen back to either Terraform or raw Azure templates (which I actually prefer since they’re so, so easy to handle programmatically and work essentially like serialized API call data).
Pretty much this. People keep kids home now for almost any reason at all and you'll get a chorus of replies telling you that your opinion is wrong.

The issue of legalese in ToS is the same issue of "bad code" or "bad engineering". The law is just another system, another conceptual language of communication, except one filled with way more vaguaries, edge cases and grey areas than any software we make.

Companies like they do not want to pay for "good engineering" don't want to pay for "understandable contracts".
Just what exactly is sound about positing "magic fields" that have shoddy experimental evidence[1], predict nothing (or if they do, predict obvious things which we have completely adequate explanations for), and are totally unfalsifiable?

[1] Like his kooky "dogs know when owners are coming home" experiment (https://www.sheldrake.org/books-by-rupert-sheldrake/dogs-tha...). Like somehow dogs getting increasingly agitated the longer their owners are away is fucking mysterious to him. Also, apparently dogs cannot hear or smell, tell time, or remember patterns of behavior...at all. Such a kook.
That’s very true. Business is very much a balancing act in that sense. Sometimes raising money is the reason you succeed, but it can equally well be why you fail (especially if you’d be happy running a smaller company but take on investors that want you to be hungrier).
