Me too. In fact, I bet if push comes to shove, we will come up with solutions we simply can't come up with for now because we are comfortable.

Right now, all of us are typing on some computers, comfy and thinking intellectually. If we HAD to and were pushed by the physical parameters of need, I bet our inventiveness would go through the roof and we'd solve the problem.
Ask HN: Can someone at HubSpot explain some of their API design choices?
Has anyone else built integrations for hubspot and just been completely fed up with their terrible developer experience compared to other sales tools? Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, and Salesforce have just blown them out of water in that aspect.

Some of my complaints:

1. Hubspot released Sequences 10 years ago, and somehow they still don't have API suppport.

2. Meanwhile if I need to fetch associations between objects I have to use their V4 associations API but if I want to fetch contact lists I need to use their V1 API, and to fetch contacts themselves I sometimes have to use a V1 API and sometimes a V3 API. Who is versioning all of this

3. It's 2024 and somehow none of their APIs support sorting, ordering or filtering and to do so you need to use their /search endpoint. The problem is there's a 4 requests per second rate limit on the endpoint. That leads to my next complaint

4. A 4 rps limit is fine, if HubSpot allowed you to have an individual user go through oauth, but for some reason they suggest and push you to authenticate only 1 super admin, which means if you have 10+ users the search endpoint is pretty much useless and needs to be throttled significantly

There's so many other issues with fields that should be deprecated but aren't, fields getting deprecated and the only answers being some community message 5 years ago, lack of API support for workflows and other new features, and there's even issues where I noticed we'd get small bursts of 401's for no reason and Hubspot's response was that when they rotate the credentials used to verify tokens it can cause temporary downtime daily.

It does seem worth noting that 4→8 billion took 48 years (1974–2022), whereas 2→4 billion took 47 years (1927–1974). So at the very least the growth rate is not entirely novel in the range that you quote.

By contrast, 1→2 billion took 123 years (1804–1927), according to the estimates of at [1], though Wikipedia suggests that data prior to the 20th century may be unreliable.

Or, in other words, being more educated means you better understand how to avoid unwanted pregnancy (and the associated implications), rising incomes means better access to contraceptives and healthcare, and expanded access to contraceptives means... well, I shouldn't need to explain that one.
It’s probably a good thing in almost every way except for the economics and care for the elderly, the latter of which could hypothetically be solved with robots but I think we’re still a ways out from that being practical and widespread.

The economic implications could also be pretty severe. Our economy is modeled such that we prosper when money flows and there is growth. With less people to be taxed, less people to buy things, and less people putting their money in the markets, the economic engine will stall and then shrink. Everyone loses when that happens. The Great Depression didn’t happen because money literally disappeared, it was more like hoarding and stagnation. That will happen again when the population declines.

That said, I’m not out here telling people to have babies just so the economy won’t crash. Boom and bust seems to be part of our nature. Perhaps eventually we will move to an economic model that is more resilient to such things but I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

yeah, this is an aspect of the disease which is really not paid enough attention to.

You start dating somebody, and for a few months, they are just thrilled to be with this high-energy, creative, funny person...

You hire on to a job, and for the first few months, they think they have hired Jesus-Christ Superstar. You have infinite energy, you can see the answers to any problem, and the solutions you come up with are so out of the box creative.....

... yeah. Then for the next 6 months, you watch everything you just did fall apart, while you can barely get out of bed. This disease doesn't just ruin your life, its a major pain point for husbands, wife, your boss, your clients and customers. It's so unfair to them.

Key quote: "When we first completed this analysis in 2022, only 19 countries had passed the 5% tipping point. Last year, that number soared as EVs spread across four continents. For the first time, some of the fastest-growing markets were found in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. The trajectory laid out by countries that came before them shows how EVs can surge from 5% to 25% of new cars in under four years."

Hm, I don’t think we’re being asked to assume. FTA:

>’For middle- to high-income, low-fertility countries, falling below replacement level could mean labor shortages and pressure on health care systems, nationalized health insurance, and social security programs. Meanwhile, low-income countries that still have high fertility are at heightened risk of falling further behind on the world’s economic stage, Ezeh says. “They will not be able to make the necessary investments to improve health, well-being, and education” with too few resources to support a booming population.’

That sounds pretty bad.

Kruskal (author of the kruskal algorithm) won.

edit: pardon, wrong Kruskal

Joseph Kruskal had two notable brothers, Martin David Kruskal, co-inventor of solitons, and William Kruskal, who developed the Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance. One of Joseph Kruskal's nephews is notable computer scientist and professor Clyde Kruskal.
I am really not so sure. It's hard to think of a way but we'd find a way. For starters, a lot of academics and other people who currently work on relatively useless problems like the Higgs boson could actually put their mind to work on something more practical and we'd come up with all sorts of inventions to make our lives easier, and perhaps we wouldn't make the old mistakes of being very unsustainable.
Well, we still have climate change and the generalized destruction of the environment to be Malthusian about.
Also, SF's terrain isn't suitable for skyscrapers. They still have some, but they cost extra to build, and some have sunken.
It is a difficult space for sure.

We think the value is not just in one thing or the other, but being very focused on the whole: component library, framework, etc. and not giving options.

The reason is because it ties together nicely when you prompt our AI to generate the tool you want.

When you say "Give me a table on data X and a bar chart that is groups field X on the same data", there is no cognitive effort expended in thinking about which component library to use, getting AI to know about said component library, and writing code straight into your project.
It absolutely is a relevant question.

I don’t disagree with the fact there’s tons of non-technical “idea-only” dreamers running around. Definitely more of them than engineers.

But the type of people that OP described are far more rare than software engineers, who are dime-a-dozen by comparison.

Maybe a little humility is in order here?
> a complex APT supply-chain attack

What do you mean by APT? If you mean Debian's package manager, that's not what this attack was. This was done upstream and affected non-apt distros just as much.

It's true that upstream is part of apt's supply chain but focussing on apt is misleading.

edit: why the downvotes? I get from the responses that I was wrong but given how the exploit was initially found in a Debian system and a lot of people very quickly jumped on the “Debian patched a thing and broke security” bandwagon, I don’t think it was much of a leap to wonder if that’s what was meant.

Acronyms and initialisms are not the best way to convey specific information.

The approach is similar to how to debug or convert an application to run on serveless, or cloud managed runtimes.

The unikernels benefit is exactly for such cloud offerings to be even leaner in resource usage.
Of course the spike during the pandemic and the decrease afterwards are similar, as they would be anywhere. But the pattern during the last year is different.

The 1 year federal unemployment rate looks like noise: a mix of up and down. Down, down, up, down, down, up, flat, flat, down, flat, flat, up. And the total change over the last year was only 0.3%.

There are no months in the last year when the UE rate fell in California. That would be very unusual for noise over a flat trend. Also, it's now 1.4% higher than the federal rate, and the total increase over the past year was 0.8%.

Thank you for the recommendation! I applied a "Physically Based" material to the toasters, setting the "metallic" attribute to its maximum value. The app preview/screenshots might not fully showcase the potential metallic appearance, which depends on the lighting conditions and the selection of the right emissive color. I'll experiment some more to enhance its reflectiveness under a broader range of conditions.

That's a good point..I don't know the answer to your question but maybe I just need to add a light source in the virtual world.
Is that really a thing? Is private supposed to be more secure because of accidents or because of risk of kidnapping and assassinations? I don’t see a reason why private flights would be less accident-prone than public flights.

But the DMA also requires (not just allows) platform owners to maintain the security of their platform. Many of the security model restrictions for iOS that app developers bump into are unlikely to be lifted by Apple.

Most of the places Apple has given themselves special powers is mostly a shortcut to avoid the hard work of a publicly accessible API and entitlements. Not always, sometimes it really is them favouring themselves, but I'd say that's the exception rather than a rule. I'm guessing Apple will mostly do the legwork to create entitlements and APIs and transition the Apple apps rather than actually remove the restriction.

This will result in some types of apps that are currently not allowed being possible, but I think it's going to be a lot fewer use cases than people think. For example, I don't see side loaded NES emulators being allowed to have a JIT.

Alas anyone trying to do any web scraping will be totally hosed. If this happens it could be one of the most bold gains by site-operators over web users ever.

The existence of the TPM is a terrifying capability that puts computing deliberately beyond the reach of the operator. It hands the computer over to coders. So many upsides for regular use, but what a sad sad sad forever ratcheting of the War on General Purpose Computing it enables.

I'm fairly convinced we should make TPMs that have a special lower rung security offering that lets them see and do whatever. Make the user have to boot a custom USB stick to access it, sign in in blood, whatever weird scheme you please, but locking users out of their own secrets absolutely seems malicious & malignant; this proposal is a great example of what a blood curdling infernal machine TPM can be.

Modern humans existed for hundreds of thousands of years without any concept of "innovation". They lived in tribal formations with traditional economies and were able to satisfy their psychological/interpersonal needs[1] as well as most of their physical needs[2]. Far from nihilism, their worldviews[3] were imbued with deep spiritual and communal significance.

Nobody informed is claiming that it's illegal. Even if it's not financially the worst thing, it's a bad look. The CEO's image is important. Already the stock price has tanked likely in part from these revelations.

Obviously, too late for canoo, but if you're running a startup you can learn from his mistakes.

Honestly at this point the reputational damage is enough, that the CEO should probably resign, if for no other reason to boost market confidence in the company and raise the value of his own shares.

That is true, but in this case, the collapse can be quite graceful. We'd just need to use a lot less energy and stop producing 90% of goods. The good thing is that we can get by without them.

At first glance this sounds reasonable.

But when you actually examine what a demographic collapse on a grand scale could look like - it's possible that this amount to the kind of suffering that we haven't seen in a century. There's no way to know, because it's uncharted territory, but the potential downside seems huge.

"maybe lower the population a little" - some societies will have some gradual reduction in population. Many countries are already or will soon have their populations of young people decline drastically. Our societies are pretty fragile systems, and when you change the ratio of young to old at the rate we're going to, it's hard to anticipate how these systems will cope.

I can't remember where I read that but it would likely have been from a HN link or possibly a comment.

it’s not only about the space, it’s about the management. When you’re an enterprise managing hundreds of internal apps, it’s way easier to just go to retool.com and find everything vs it all being stored local.

It’s an internal app, nobody wants to dedicate more $$ and hours than they need to managing/building it.

Again, whole reason why Retool even took off in the first place.
So what you're saying is that someone needs to lose something they currently have. Either people in general ... or the government.

Which is what the original thesis was, I believe, that someone needs to lose.

But it gets a lot worse. The problem is that growth AND decline are both exponential processes. Not just growth. Decline too. Which means whatever percentage you say has to go to taking care of old people ... give it 20 years and it'll be more. A factor more. In fact, it will quickly rise to over 100% if population doesn't stabilize. In nature, for many species the exponential nature of shrinking population causes, by itself, without other causes, extinction. Luckily, usually local extinction. Cats are a great example of this. Areas almost always have a lot of cats ... or none.

If you take current examples (that are getting worse) you see that what happens is that every generation about halves. BUT 4-5 generations are alive simultaneously. So in order to keep the same level of elderly care the expenses need to double 5 times. There's a tiny problem ... even theoretically 20% expenses on the elderly can only double twice. The third time you double it, it goes over 100%. But when maintaining elderly care takes 100% of global human labor, we're only about halfway to a real declining population.

Or to put it more realistically, after all humans don't just undergo natural processes (thankfully), we adapt: unless population is growing at a minimum rate, the elderly will be abandoned. As soon as it becomes clear that this cannot be avoided, if needed we'll breed humans like in the Matrix to prevent this from continuing. Why? The people making that decision ... are the ones who are about to meet that fate.

This is be why a declining economy is so incredibly, incredibly destructive. Exponential growth, with a growth rate smaller than one, is a killer.
Haha, I read the headline and my brain went "I bet it's a Energy Monitoring Smart Plug on Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi". Honestly a simple automation with device trigger: smartplug "power changes" with below: X watts might have worked too if it only crosses in that direction once per cook. But it's nice that a fancy appliance monitoring add-on exists - some appliances probably have a few weird power cycles per cook.

You've got some good answers, but I'll add another:

Fast changes to any sort of complicated system are always problematic. Going from rapid growth to decline within a couple of generations is likely to be much more problematic than the same change happening over a couple of dozen generations.
Whatever the reasons, benefits, and challenges of population decline, the amount of disdain for human life these kind of articles bring out of people is astonishing. Sustainable growth is important - but why desire less life instead of more sustainable life? And the desire to see less human lives its little more thinly disguised resentment.

If you cannot see the value and beauty in life, that is a personal failure on your own part. And you failed because you chose not to look beyond suffering to see what is beautiful and worthwhile. You've failed to strive beyond your hardships to see meaning and beauty in your own life, so you've become resentful at life itself.
Why does 'modern' nowadays mean 'host everything on managed services' like Vercel or Netlify? Why is running your own database so frowned upon? Is *SQL/SQLite so insecure that a default password-protected setup can be pwned within minutes?

Managed hosting can give you a head start, but also increased costs. There are quite a few horror stories when it comes to billing.
So, then... at last, hair dryers found useful purpose.
Earthquake risk is similar to California, with very low (but not zero) risk in many places, e.g. Auckland.

The food is generally excellent in urban areas - cafe culture rules for those who can afford it.

Main issue is cost of living - housing and food costs are kind of silly relative to average income.

Mosquitos are really not an issue - people up north might have a different experience, but from Auckland on down, no one needs screens.
I think it would be fantastic to drop the world population to a sustainable two or three billion. The "problem" is the house of cards built out of debt. Large debt from government borrowing to your large mortgage is that it assumes a growing economy and inflation will reduce it's relative value over time. Go the other direction and it all falls apart pretty fast.

On the other hand the quickest way to realistically reduce emissions by half is to reduce the population by half. And yes, I know the numbers do not work out as linearly as the flippant comment would assume...
