Internal stakeholders are still users, and if they have a constant need to change business logic flexibly and without involving the devs every time, maybe it's time to build them a configurable workflow?

It might be worth taking a look at other self-service flow builders like the kind commonly used in marketing & analytics, where you set up a customer journey tracking page to page and write different rules depending on it, or where you set up an email drip campaign based on various configurable criteria.

The more generic and less usage-specific version of that is something like Zapier (for non-devs) or Make.com (for devs).

With that sort of abstraction, I guess your devs end up making a rules engine with a GUI and a bunch of modular nodes and integrations, like "if marketing software sends this webhook" or "send transactional email" or "increase customer value in CRM" or "notify staff to call this person", etc. that the powers that can then clobber together in whatever way they like.
I agree, very cool. I still miss the fast productive workflow of Jeskola Buzz from back in the day. Modular software synth + tracker with pattern sequencing. https://youtu.be/8J8i72a11W4?si=IRic-Z_YMinudnhn
I agree with that. I think the rule of thumb is:

The first time you do it, just get the job done as described.
The second time, look for ways the two might be similar, but don't spend a lot of time on it.
The third time, generalize and assume there will be a fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. time.

In the example the top poster gave, the first time it was requested, I would just write up some code for triggering the notification. The second time, maybe there's a shared class (or whatever) for notifications with text passed in. The third time, now maybe we need the ability to specify notification text in config or DB or through user-triggered actions.
Is there a reason why that has to be the case or is this just an observation of the way things have gone so far?

College sports stadiums are often (usually?) used to fund the rest of the school. I don't see any particular reason why that model couldn't be adapted by government bodies if there's demand for publicly funded sports.
I think a programmer can set badly any good pattern. We have onion pattern in our code and I get sick every time I enter it. All's great but it implements a graph of state changes navigating which resembles debugging a regexp, also all the ctrl+click navigation is broken because there's one general method for each message root type

The ceremonies are table stakes... Burning even millions there isn't that big deal. The venues are the killer.

Expectations are way too high and their utilization after the events is just crapshoot. Maybe we should just go all digital. Do it in VR or 3D or something...

Second thing is infra in general that must be build to support these stations, that is often also enormously costly and will not be fully utilized afterwards.
Interesting!
also asked Claude Opus:

Using the same provider for both domain registration and DNS hosting can introduce several risks. Here are some of the main risks and ways to mitigate them:

1. Single point of failure: If the provider experiences an outage or security breach, both your domain registration and DNS hosting could be affected simultaneously. This can cause your website or services to become unavailable.
Mitigation: Consider using separate providers for domain registration and DNS hosting to reduce the impact of a single provider's issues.

2. Provider lock-in: Some providers make it difficult to transfer your domain or DNS management to another provider, leaving you dependent on their services.
Mitigation: Choose a provider that allows easy domain transfers and supports standard DNS management protocols like EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol). Familiarize yourself with the transfer process before committing to a provider.

3. Security vulnerabilities: If the provider's security measures are inadequate, attackers may be able to gain unauthorized access to your domain and DNS settings, potentially leading to domain hijacking or DNS tampering.
Mitigation: Select a reputable provider with strong security practices, such as two-factor authentication, IP restrictions, and regular security audits. Enable additional security features like DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) to protect against DNS spoofing.

4. Lack of redundancy: Relying on a single provider for both domain registration and DNS hosting means you don't have a backup if that provider experiences issues.
Mitigation: Consider using secondary DNS services from a different provider to ensure redundancy and failover capabilities.

5. Limited control and flexibility: Some providers may offer limited control over your DNS settings or have restrictions on the types of records you can configure.
Mitigation: Opt for a provider that offers a comprehensive and user-friendly DNS management interface with support for various record types and advanced features like GeoDNS or failover.

To further mitigate risks, consider the following best practices:

1. Keep your domain registration and DNS hosting accounts secure with strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.

2. Regularly monitor your domain and DNS settings for any unauthorized changes.

3. Keep your contact information up to date with your domain registrar to ensure you receive important notifications and can respond promptly to any issues.

4. Familiarize yourself with the domain transfer process and keep backups of your DNS configuration to ease migration to another provider if needed.

5. Choose reputable providers with a track record of reliability, security, and customer support.

By being aware of these risks and implementing appropriate mitigation measures, you can minimize the potential impact of using the same provider for domain registration and DNS hosting.

I wonder in today's times what country(ies) such scholars would move to if they were affected by extreme right wing persecution in their own countries, seeing that the wave is strong almost everywhere, especially in the country that was pretty much the the destination for last migration i.e starting 1930s from Europe.
Very impressive! And also Australian.
Without a business generating revenue, there is no need for programmers.

Business systems need to be architected around core business needs, e.g. ledgers, journals, client records, inventory. The "transactions" implementing business rules need to perform the necessary information transformations and maintain any auxiliary information as required.
The problem is that I'm not talking about getting +1300 EUR/month situations, but about +300 EUR/month situations.
And suddenly you have to explain your finances to the bureaucracy and... you still have to earn +1000 EUR/month in addition to the bureaucracy needed so you get to keep at least some of it (without committing social security fraud, ofc).

It's not that bad if it's steady; but if it's fluctuating you easily spend a couple hours each month. And for at least some people, that type of work is far worse than their occupation of choice.
The recipes are such a small amount of the secret knowledge now. There are so many quirks to the game to discover, even people playing 10+ years still find joy in discovering them (or being taught).

Imagination also plays a big role. You have to create your own story and see things not as they are, but as what they are to the story. It's reminiscent of childhood and play. HermitCraft is the most notable example of this, but it's pervasive, especially among builders. (i.e. put a railroad on a smoker to make a grill, flower pot as a cup, extended piston as a table, or a fence post with a pressure plate as a table)
Mozilla draws a large amount of funding from Alphabet (Google), I suspect this influences their decisions as an organization to a greater extent than is publicly disclosed.
I work in UI, but never in finance. I don't even own a stock (is that even the right word?) and have never invested.

Anyway, I wish I got to encounter this system earlier in my career... would've loved to experiment with a UI like that! News ticker under a real time map that you can use to drill down to specific regions to see what's going on? It's fascinating.

And it looks like their map is using some sort of serverside raster tiling where even simple arrows have to be redrawn on different zoom levels... just random things I'd be eager to try to improve.

The trouble is large context uses a large number of tokens. I paid for pro but quickly ran out of tokens by lunch doing complex code. I soon closed the account and went back to open ai. Personally I think it's better but not much use in a professional environment.

> Side note: D actually predates a lot of this by being from 2001, but, sadly, never seemed to get any traction. It seems like it had the misfortune of being about 10 years too early and that programmers just weren't ready for a new systems programming language at that point.

I was only a kid starting my university degree at that time, but I had been coding since I was 9 and I was very excited about D. What I remember is that getting it up and running was a cumbersome, fully manual process. The compiler was closed-source, delivered as a tarball without any kind of installation script, ditto for the libraries. I wrote some little programs and I liked the language, but in the end I gave up.

On the other hand, Rust has rustup and Cargo which are just amazing. I am sure that a big part of Rust's popularity comes from Cargo.
And to your point, some of us want children and will move forward with that regardless of economics or stability.

I don't think the markets influence child rearing as much as the headlines say.
Noticed the same thing and I hope we see the N305 from the same generation take over or more vendor offering both options. Considering the rest of the platform package, it can really benefit from 8 cores instead of just 4.

The N100 can be a fair step up compared to Rpi5 but even RK3588 is already 8 cores. Would be a shame if many of the current generation of exciting hackable x86 mini-platforms lock in at the N100 as it will feel obsolete years earlier the the N305.

I run/ran stuff on both, as well as various ARM SBCs and previous generations like J4125/N5XXX. Considering the core-count, RK3588 is still a better pick for many use-cases unless single-thread performance is that important. Benchmark comparison: https://bret.dk/intel-n100-a-challenge-to-arm/
Well, sure, one could imagine a structure where subsidizing sports stadiums makes sense. But when people talk about it being bad they usually mean in the world as it more or less exists.
You can just press on "slower" to fix that issue. Though really you should probably figure out how to get a decent refresh rate from your screen.

A discrete gpu is like AMD/Nvidia cards. They are very capable for graphics, and essentially required for any higher end gaming.

This machine would just have integrated graphics. Which aren’t the best but they are okay-ish. Better than I expected to be honest.

I think AMD probably has better integrated graphics? I’ve heard great things about what the Steam deck is capable of for instance. But the N100’s price point is very hard to beat.
React can handle dense interfaces with a lot of elements but you have to be very careful with memoization and it's extremely easy to accidentally introduce significant performance regressions if something in your memoization chain breaks.

Locking down kernels is somewhere in the story IIRC; it's just that instead of in the name of DRM it's now for Security... But as we've seen from stuff like the 'Web Attestation' proposal from last year, they'll take choice away whichever way is most marketable to lobbyists.
> The real reason to have bloomberg, other than data, is actually the chat.

I'll lay odds the core language is FORTRAN or COBOL.
The trouble with these examples is that many of them are foundations or open source projects. They don’t employ europeans and provide a direct boost to the european economy. So yes there is definitely innovation but is it translating to JOBS in europe?

Is python a company that hires hundreds or thousands of engineers, product managers, etc? no. Same with Linux. Also Linux was created by a european (torvalds) while he was living and working in the united states, and is now contributed to by engineers all over the world. I’d hardly call that a majority european innovation. A nitpick but I wanted to clarify that.

ASML, ARM, BioNtech and Ozempic are great examples though, i’ll give you that.

We’ve done this using Django’s admin portal to let non-technical stakeholders work with database records, and it works well enough. It creates a self-serve scenario for some users, for some kinds of tasks.

The challenge is (as always) finding the right level of abstraction. A premature, wrong abstraction is way worse than making it work by hard coding some logic in the code, or (gasp) just copying and pasting the code a few times, until it’s clear which direction the abstraction is pointing, and at which level it’s operating at.

Like if you start building some generic workflow engine that doesn’t match your actual needs, you’re going to build something that’s clunky to work with, and that it’s hard to backtrack from the design decisions made. It’s better to hard code or duplicate something and remain noncommittal about architecture and design choices until you have clarity.

In practice it’s always a dance. You have to push the boundary to some degree or you’ll never build anything tangible. The usual advice of “just ship something” is not bad here, as shipping a complete failure will be a more information-rich data stream about the right direction than more planning.
well the Pythagorean comma and how to divide it amongst the octave was the central objective during the whole evolution of temperament (from meantone to modern day 12-tet).

> This is not true. Mobile platforms do help with tapping on small elements. E.g. HN isn't mobile friendly "as is", but I have no issues with tapping any of the links. I've also used Exante mobile trading terminal for some time and had no issues with it either.

Good for you, maybe your phone screen is huge. I routinely tap on the wrong element when using HN on mobile. Even on desktop I have to set the zoom level to 125%.

It's really the other way around, Ruby is the superpower that makes Rails what it is. There are very few (if any) web frameworks comparable to Rails because Rails is only possible due to the dynamism and expressiveness provided by Ruby.

Question for music theory experts who are also coders: does it feel like understanding a programming language, or something else? Admittedly I've never really made any serious independent effort to learn it, or to retain whatever I tried to learn, but it is very difficult for me to even grasp a mental model of how understanding it is supposed to work, or feel, in my head.

I can read a piece of code and know how the bits affect one another. When I read basically anything on music theory it feels like a string of non-sequiturs basically. Maybe there's just some skill floor where that all starts to feel organized?
