My understanding is that Switzerland doesn't require you to declare cash of any amount when arriving.

€1.2million in a briefcase? No problem. 3kg of beef? Serious business.

CHF1000 notes would obviously be very convenient for moving large amounts of cash. If you are the sort of person trying to avoid the tax man's 20-40% taxation or the police's 100% taxation, why care about the CHF exchange rate?

I can't remember the GAO ever doing investigations on government inefficiency. Mostly I see reports from them on where projects are blowing out budgets or instances where the government isn't properly reporting to the public. They don't identify solutions to problems usually, just point out the problems.
My sense (as a Japanese expat) is that the smaller and closer to China the country is, the more serious people there are thinking about moving out of the country as a risk management, encouraging them to learn English harder. Another good example is Taiwan. It has a lot of good English speakers in its highly-educated cohort.

Japanese people aren't that serious about moving out (at least my generation. Your people look a bit different though.)

Note that due to adversarial interoperability, search engines other than Google can scrape Reddit if they try hard enough. A rotating residential proxy subscription, while pricey, likely still costs orders of magnitude less than what Google paid. The same goes for Stack Overflow. You can also DIY by getting a handful of SIM cards. CGNAT, usually a scourge, works in your favour for this application since Reddit can't tell the difference between you loading 10000 pages and 10000 people on your ISP loading one page each (depending on the ISP)
Japanese game companies became successful because they owned the patents for gaming systems like Nintendo and PlayStation.

However, even though Japan invented the Walkman and early mobile phones, they couldn't keep control of the smartphone market.

This shows that having patents for gaming machines worked well, but patents for music players and phones didn't help Japan stay on top.

You'll need more than a backup system. At least some sort of a load balancer to switch between different groups of running docker containers (so that upgrades, backups, etc... can happen without service being interrupted).
Yep! I should mention that on the website. The only thing that was innovative about that is doing docker-in-docker builds which is as simple as mounting /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock in the container. Zero downtime deploys make it sensible for it to deploy itself, and then restart. And it really breaks, I still know how to deploy from my laptop to get myself out of a pickle.

16kB pages is fine with me, so long as drives have Flexible Data Placement, where they can specify a placement group for their writes. This will let the drive write associated data together & avoid write-amplification problems.

Alas I have yet to see many drives advertise FDP clearly. In fact I've seen deception, such as Micron claiming to demo FDP with their 7450 Pro series, but they aren't testing official NVMe FDP, they just namespaced their drive into four equal sizes. One major advantage of FDP is it doesn't need ahead of time subdividing! https://www.micron.com/about/blog/storage/ssd/benefits-of-fl...

This was supposed to be a pretty low lift for driver makers, and the hyperscalers were beating down the door for FDP. I'm shocked it's a year latter and it's still not clear how we can get drives that will work with us to combat write amplification.

And to be clear, I had the exact same position for my whole tenure at all 3 jobs. It wasn't me moving around, just mgmt churn.

The number of years the military gets to keep a trained pilot is limited, so that’s also a factor.

The more significant one is that so few people prove to be capable and willing to be fighter pilots. Replacement is not a given.

5170 (IBM AT) was a 286 design. The 5150 (IBM PC) and 5160 (IBM PC XT) were the previous 8088-based systems. Sounds like it's described as "based on" because it's heavily reverse engineered, modified to use more readily available components where possible, and then improved to 20MHz capability over the original 5170's 6/8MHz.

>Or maybe a triumph thereof?

Losing the ability to describe the Silurian hypothesis or other improbable ideas without prescribing them as objective truths doesn't feel like a triumph. The inability to have a discussion without a pop-materialist crusader interjecting, "But it isn't real!!!" feels like a hindrance.

Flat Earth was just one example to illustrate the trend. Clearly it triggered posters to sneer at disfavored out-groups.

>It’s the dumbest, most falsifiable of the stupid conspiracy theories, mixed in with a solid dose of religious fundamentalist. It’s not just games, at least not for everyone. Far too many people take it seriously...

So we should accept this trend and appeal to the lowest common denominator, because some heretics might believe the wrong thing? If nothing else, we should appreciate that the religious types describe their world in terms of faith. There's no slight of hand in their presuppositions. They know when they are accepting presuppositions on faith. From my side, one of the biggest criticisms of some the fundamentalists would be their intolerance of differing world views. The above quote is no better in that regard.

>...don’t present fantasies as established facts.

Again, there's an important distinction between prescribing something as an objective truth and describing it for the sake of discussion. Losing the ability to do the latter because some are unable to appreciate the distinction lowers the bar. Forbidding an entire class of hypotheticals because the hoi polloi might not appreciate the distinction is an exercise in paternalism. Although the paternalism feels less than genuine in this case. Equally likely that tribalistic ulterior motives are at play.

Consider found-footage horror films or reality TV. Clearly there is a value in presenting the fictional as real. Would we demand disclaimers to protect the public? If that isn't absurd enough, consider that some regard explicitly fictional events and locations from Marvel films as real.

>Americans think Wakanda and Zamunda are real places

https://www.citizen.co.za/entertainment/celebrity-news/ameri...

If we follow this line of reasoning, even pop-culture hasn't lowered the bar enough for truthiness to prevail.

>> Flat-earth is typically used as a pejorative at HN.

>As it should be, given the above. It has become part of the wider conspiracy-sphere

Perhaps instead of lowering the bar to protect the public from what posters here describe as unacceptable beliefs, we should raise the bar. Perhaps we shouldn't be using pejoratives or sneering at others. Instead we should seek to have stimulating discussions, question our own preconceptions and recognize that HN exists within its own bubble. Otherwise, what is the point?

>And then surprised again how quickly they drop it if the belief becomes goes out of fashion and fails to signal in-group membership for whichever bubble

Thanks! In germany we use the long scale, and this is the first time it clicks.

Yes I knew what a million, milliard, billion, billiarde and so on are, but it never made click that the long scale makes so much sense.
being intelligent doesn't make one better than others

The only issue here is with the attitude that a career in the trades is somehow inferior to getting a degree. It is not. I have many friends and family who work in the trades. They are intelligent, hard-working, resourceful people who take tremendous pride in the quality of their work. They both produce and repair useful things (houses, cars, factories, and countless other pieces of equipment). They are the backbone of our society.

They also happen to earn a lot more money than many other people I know who have degrees and work those "mundane jobs" you mentioned. Why? Because there's a huge shortage of labour in the trades and people who enter that career have far more bargaining power than they did back in the early-mid 20th century. It's also reflected in the way we simply don't build the way we used to. China built an incredible high speed rail network all over their country in just a few decades at minimal cost. The US can't even manage to build one high speed link between San Francisco and LA without spending more than the GDP of most countries on the project while facing countless delays.

It's one of our greatest shames that we in the West have developed such an elitist culture that we look down on the people who build things.

I'm pretty confused by this article.

It says docker compose is at the "wrong-level of abstraction", but I kept feeling the author was instead expecting docker compose to solve different problems that it was ever meant to solve.

In fact, they seem to be expecting a highly-opinionated, high-level interface which solves problems that I don't think anyone using docker compose in prod should even be worried about.

A lot of concerns seem to be around avoiding spinning up duplicate instances of reverse proxies, databases, and caches. First of all, why is this a concern? Idle threads have basically no impact on a system, so this generally isn't a concern. This is a nuanced and context-dependent issue, but generally it won't even make the list of top-100 performance bottlenecks for most applications. Yet the article takes for granted that the benefits of solving this problem outweigh the many cons of coupling them together.

Even if you wanted to enforce your applications sharing a postgres instance under the hood, why would you want that to be black-magic performed by the container orchestrator?

Other stuff like DB backups just don't seem like issues docker compose users have. If you need to orchestrate across multiple nodes in order to meet your SLOs, then don't use docker compose.

Finally, it seems like the actual solution is significantly under-discussed. I both have tons of questions about how it's supposed to work, and I see lots of shortcomings with the parts that I do understand.

Beyond the specific issues I see, the fundamental attitude seems to be "force everyone to architect their applications in a very specific way, and don't even try to support any use cases which fall outside of it". You need a damn good reason to be that opinionated about these sorts of things, and it by definition will only work well in specific contexts. I'd be interested to read an article which tried to articulate why such an opinionated API would improve SDLC-considerations over docker-compose, but I don't think that's the article I just read.

I'd be fascinated to have a breakdown of what all the ICs are on the motherboard. Like are they mostly ASICs, or mostly discrete logic, like level shifters, gate drivers, shift registers and the like?

Either way, it's amazing to think that basically every non-power related chip on that board is now inside a modern chipset IC.
Some of these things are stuff that I had already used in existing programs (far before C23 was invented), and a few others (e.g. #embed) are good ideas that I had also previously thought of wanting too. And, I didn't know that ={} for zero initialize was not previously considered valid (and, looking at the specification, it seems that I am not the only one), but nevertheless I had often used that too.

Another nonstandard function I often use if fopencookie, and another feature I often use is the Elvis operator, but on Wikipedia I do not see those things listed in the list of C23. And then, there is -fwrapv, which I also often use. Another thing I would want is dynamic argument lists (including but not limited to variable argument lists) constructed at run time, and the ability to control memory layout in some ways.

However, I would think that underscores would be better than using apostrophes for digit separation, to avoid messing up programs that expect the apostrophe to have its existing meaning (although I have been told that it conflicts with C++). I would think "0o" prefix for octal numbers would also be good, but it is too late to change it now. I also think that adding the Unicode string types might not be a good idea, since it might encourage APIs to use it in circumstances where it ought not to care about the character set (although it might be possible to cast the type, that just adds extra stuff). Programming languages and file formats should not assume that Unicode is the only character set, because it isn't. The source format should be ASCII (although non-ASCII bytes are allowed as well, it might be a potential security issue to allow them in some environments). I am not so sure that __has_include is really a good idea either; you can use #ifdef to check if something is defined, either already defined or by a command-line switch; it is better to allow specifying compile options to use or not use them that way instead, I think.

And, I also think that it isn't so good that the standards are not freely available, but that was always how it worked. They could change that (unlike some of the other problems with the C programming language) but they don't. At least, the drafts are available.
