The one extreme option out there is surgery to change the attachment point of the tendon to the bone, generating more torque from the same contractile force.

I found the law's text via hyperlinks. It wasn't directly linked in the article, or anything it linked to, but it was a link from an article linked by this article.

Given that it's part of an ongoing series of articles, it's not surprising that the law itself isn't directly linked (the author clearly expects that you've already been following this saga to some degree).

This is such a common occurrence these days with tech platforms. I had a similar situation with PayPal when I opened a business account for the first time. Minutes after opening the account I was perma-banned and I was told there was no appeal. Of course, there’s always a way of appealing if you can speak to someone with the authority to fix things (as I was able to in my situation).

Unfortunately companies seem to be getting worse and worse at allowing you to speak to sufficiently empowered people to solve problems.

I hope the HN effect helps you out here and someone at Google decides to swoop in and rescue you.

If you live in America and you can’t otherwise resolve this, I’ve heard that filing a small claims lawsuit is an excellent method of last resort to get big tech to respond to you.
In many cases that page is a "catch all errors" page.

There are technically "infinite" different reasons it could be shown. For example a variable is unexpectedly undefined due to a bug in the code.

So the error message can't elaborate in detail exactly what's wrong or why it happened or what to do about it, or whether trying again will help or not, etc...

Behind the scenes (hopefully) the actual error is captured and logged for further inspection.

In other words the end user will see a generic and friendly error message but behind the scenes the developers will see the actual code error along with other information such as a stacktrace to show how the code reached the path where the error happened.

yeah this part is pretty bad

you can get lucky and reach a nirvana state where all your dependencies function well in a new project, but 6 months later its a disaster like ah you need to upgrade node, but ah your transpiler requires the older version of node, but ah the semantic versioning was not followed by your type definition addendum library and now there were autoupdated breaking changes, ah your project only worked with a locked package file and if you re-install any package the wrong way everything breaks in incomprehensible ways!

Ah I didn't know wechat could do that, but, I remember that from my irssi days.

Hopefully you would get some resolution but I think everyone should ask: “could this game be publishes as a web page?” because if it is at possible to do what an app can do with a web page you can completely avoid app store bullshit.

It is exactly “the things an app can do that a web page can’t do” that are (1) frequently user hostile (a reason the user is usually better off using a web site instead of an app if it possible) and (2) heavily regulated to manage but not mitigate this harm.

Popular libraries tend to get type hygiene issues ironed out rather quickly for 90% of the API surface area. For this reason, i find that lib selection from npm is much easier these days. The heuristic is simple:

1) has types? 2) has (large) download count? 3) has docs?

After that it’s generally smooth sailing. Of course this doesnt at all apply to the application codebase being applied to, but one of the parent/sibling remarks emphasized “madness” and i seek to smooth that over.

Noisy? Yes.
Madness? Nah.

> How can I do science and improve my skills when I can't observe the difference changing one dimension makes!?

The classic answer to this is you need to improve your capacity to measure. Ie, taste ingredients and things constantly and learn with your mouth how the taste of your tomato will translate into the taste of your curry.

Just like the soloist and piano tuner in this story, subtle discernment is a huge part of expertise.
What's even worse is Google could easily use the exact same automated checks and block the app before it gets onto Google Play, and then NOT ban the developer. What is the up-side of the status quo for Google or its customers?

I think your position is essentially that you mostly want to serve people who have serious apps, for whom the cap idea doesn’t work. And you definitely know more about the general trajectory of your customers than all of us sitting here randomly speculating. But, is it really so uncommon for an application to transition from unserious, I want to cap, to serious?

I guess I’m slightly confused because I thought one of the nice things about cloud services is that they give you the ability to fit your infrastructure to your size while you are trying things. If I’m still trying things, I might not even know if I’m serious yet, right?
> Looks great! How is the migration story when schema changes are needed?

We have an admin API you can use to write migration scripts. The process is a bit manual though, and a more integrated solution is on the roadmap

> How do you deal with old clients?

Instant treats the the backend the source of truth. If there's an inconsistent cache, we drop the cache and fill it from scratch. We tend to write code that's backwards compatible, and suggest the GraphQL ethos: make sure when changing schema that active clients won't break
As a long-time Docker-slonker I agree, however then that requires me to remember to upgrade the container images which means that it's harder to ensure that it's up to date. If you set up a cronjob to update the VMs packages and then a script that runs `/upgrade` on the weechat server every time the weechat package version changes, then you don't need to think.
It'd be interesting to understand how this is measured practically to determine if the infringement is occurring.

I'm sorry you feel like I don't live up to your standards, I believe that transparency about affiliations and conflicts of interest is paramount to healthy and productive discussion. Disclosing these things when criticizing competitors is really basic etiquette.

And look, it was just a simple nudge for them to disclose their affiliations more plainly in the future, while also providing relevant (and apparently appreciated) context to other readers. It was a footnote, not an argument.
When your business model calls for scale so large that it's infeasible to have humans involved in important processes (due to costs), this is what happens. The fact that they can _get away_ with this is a failure of government.

I think it’s helpful because it is a common mistake.
I think that this is kind of an obvious "optimization" for making application generation much more reliable. Just because the models can generate code for one of 1000 different platforms, doesn't mean that you need all of them. Just by narrowing the scope to a particular platform makes it much more feasible to get working applications without needing manual debugging due to out of date library references etc.

I think something like the approach you have demonstrated here will relatively quickly become the standard for "no-code" application development.
It sounds like this is requesting justification for future grants and not withholding previous grants so I’m not sure there’s much to look at. Kind of tacky and something that would be a red flag for me personally, but I can’t think of any regulations that it violates.

2 is disingenuous IMO. The olympics is an athletic competition. There are objective winners and losers. Breaking as an olympic sport is an athletic competition.

It's a totally different thing than breaking as creative expression. There's nothing wrong with being confidently goofy at a party, sure, but if breaking wants to remain a method of expression and nothing else, it shouldn't be in the olympics. Otherwise it's fair to be puzzled (and amused) that a subpar athlete reached that level of competition.

People so very often are quick to look down upon anything using k8s these days, often citing complexity and some hand-wavy statement about "you're not web scale" or similar. These statements are usually accompanied by complex suggestions as "more simple" alternatives.

On one hand you can manually provision a VM, configure the VM's firewall, update the OS, install several packages, write a bash script which can be used with cron, configure cron, setup backups, and more, followed by routine maintenance that is required to keep this system running and secure. This dance has to be done every time you deploy the app... oh, and don't forget that hack you did one late night to get your failing app back online but forgot to document!

Or, on the other hand, you can write 1-3 relatively simple yaml files, just once, that explicitly describe what your app should look like within the cluster, and then it just does it's thing forever.

k8s is very flexible and very useful, even for simple things. Why would you not use it, should be the default question.

I guarantee you there is no algorithmic way to do this. Going from "big flat file" to "nicely organized 3+NF schema" adds a lot of underlying domain knowledge and information to the system. You're asking for "enhance!" on the database schema. It will always require expert understanding.

If the cost calculation is complex and opaque, that successfully prevents anyone from evaluating what their costs would be on a competing service. And vendor lock-in makes it expensive and nontrivial to simply try it out.
I did read a lot of MeFi, actually. I'm an edge case: I'm a third generation programmer/nerd. (Maternal grandmother did punch card and C programming, paternal grandfather was a television repairman/gadget dude, both parents were hackers/programmers). So I got internet access at home extremely young: When I was 4/5. I am probably one of the youngest people to have any first-hand memories of External September, and I remember the Gen X era of the Internet pretty fondly. (It had its issues, of course, but every era does). I actually find it really amusing to watch other Millennials freak out about not being the center of the Internet anymore because none of them have experienced not being the default whereas I did, as a baby Millennial on Gen X's/the Boomers' playground.

> What does annoy me is that because we share a language, we get the overspill from US-targeted propaganda. We've even developed our own Sovereign Citizen movement.

Yeah, the Canadians are dealing with this shit too.

One thing I'm hopeful for is that as more and more politics becomes entwined with the digital world is that things might be able to balance out a bit on that front. Prior to instant communication, geography was a hurdle, but now we can have more cooperation between all the areas of the world that are overshadowed by America/neglected in online discussions. As more and more Africans, South Americans, Central Asians, etc. join the party, they can start calling us out on our self-centeredness more. Hopefully.

When you're paying $39/month for something that generates $0/month, that is a very sensible policy.

When you're paying $50,000/month for something that generates $200,000/month in value, or if an outage can generate $100,000/month in costs, or if the people that can fix an outage cost $100,000/year, then it's not.

Well, there are some thing to be put on the table:

- in 10 years audio/video resolutions will probably be very higher, probably a bit more than human eye resolution, 3D movies might became a thing not only a curios experiment demanding very expensive and crappy iron to be used, so it would be common having let's say 50Gb for a common movie, demanding let's 1Gb/sec for a conference call etc;

- dataset will probably be much bigger, fine grained and very long in timeline terms, let's say a future home assistant with InfluxDB will not record daily maxima and minima for 10 years but 1' resolution temp and gazillion more sensors, let's say it could be common to have 3D thermo-cam at home to regulate ventilation better and so on.

So, on one side, anything computer related should be expected much bigger than today, as today almost anything is much bigger than 10 years ago, and not in a linear progression.

As a middle ground we have to consider some so far known physical limitations and some climate and geopolitical changes, meaning it's even possible than in 10 years internet will be in a much worse shape than today because mass migrations and world wars have cracked the current infra and poverty caused by wars and not so well done and quick reorganization of the world supply chains might left us with limited wireless comms with too few low altitudes satellites.

Finally... If we achieve a steady bandwidth growth the current dare, sorry state of IT, archaically keeping up a crappy modern mainframe model for the service economy, where almost no one own nothing except big tech... Well, it might be worse "hey, do not buy an expensive NVME drive! Just mount an NVME one in a proper datacenter via internet" and I do not like much such nightmare...

BEWARE, so far thin clients are not much less limited than old dumb terminals, but they are still common and it's pretty common to have gazillion of people working on remote desktop because 99% of the companies infra are not designed for distributed desktop computing, so they keep absurd centralization, totally ignoring the enormous waste of resources, limits of use and comfort, and attack surface of modern "endpoints". Such disgraced model can be made worse under the flag of reducing hw costs to the consumer.
This is a great start!

Some suggestions:

- Allow insecure URLs by providing -k option automatically for https URLs

- Auto follow HTTP redirects by providing -L option by default

- Rather than use the curl-options setting, just accept —-user and —-pass as options then pass this to curl

I know people will feel strongly about some of these however it would simplify curl usage for a majority of the download only use cases

Other curl options can be used for the more “advanced” use cases like Headers
