Study Finds Support for Solar Energy Has Become Politically Polarized
I've worked on maintaining internal dev tooling for some small companies for a while now, and it's a real PITA to write a robust installation script for bootstrapping a new laptop running an arbitrary shell on linux or macOS into a working environment. Way more work than it feels like it should be.

At this point I've pretty much given in and decided that a containerized dev environment is probably the better solution, but on principle it feels so unsatisfying to have to resort to this :(

What kind of psychopath commits murder-suicide and also kills their own dog??
To be clear, I'm not a republican or a conservative. If it matters, I'm a modern liberal (i.e. what existed before progressivism but after classical liberalism). I'm just trying to distill what I believe the right says and what I observe. Also, this is my take on modern American conservatism, in general - individual cases vary.

First, if you look up progressive academic theorists [1] you will see that they are largely inspired by Marxist philosophy either directly or indirectly. The right are diametrically opposed to Marxism because it relies on an assumption that Man can rise above his Animal instincts. But, man can't, even with best intentions (i.e. ethics professors do not behave more ethically than non-ethicists) [2][3].

There is a belief by the right that the great majority of people working in government and government related industries (e.g. NGOs) have come out of liberal arts programs that were inspired by the academics listed. They also believe that progressive ideology has steeped into the sciences.

I believe the right's goal is total dismantling of the executive branch. The point is really to destroy any power that the executive has down to the bare minimum so that the risk of a king is eliminated. It's interesting that they put a group of potential tyrants in charge of all of this - it's almost as if they want to show everyone how bad of an idea it is for the president to have so much control.

They generally believe that differing cultures are a good thing but because of Human nature integration cannot work. Therefore, in a state system, they believe one should be allowed to move to the state of their choice and enjoy whatever culture they want given the constraints of the constitution.

Furthermore, they believe the constitution is the only way for lasting peace. It sets the bare minimum for a social contract that works across cultures and people. It gives a framework where people can be culturally different but equal. And, they hope to expand the US to other countries voluntarily (we hope) so that those countries may also share in its glory.

Why Gene Hackman stopped acting.

“The straw that broke the camel’s back was actually a stress test that I took in New York,” Hackman told Empire in a 2009 interview.

“The doctor advised me that my heart wasn’t in the kind of shape that I should be putting it under any stress,” he added.

He maintained his love for acting and missed it but the business had become too stressful for him.

> It's disingenious to put all billionaires in the same bucket.

No, its pretty clear that having that much money changes people. To even reach that level of wealth there has to be something "wrong" with you compared to regular people. A willingness to take risks regardless of the cost, exploit your fellow humans, and being so disconnected from that you think you achieved it solely through your own hard work and talent.

On top of that, if you have a billion dollars, and there is poverty and starving children in the world, and you're not giving as much as you can to fix it, then you're simply unethical. I give what I can, but I'm just a regular worker bee. If I had more money than I could spend in a hundred lifetimes, I don't know how I could sleep at night knowing there's kids going to bed hungry, and I could have a significant impact on fixing it.

Show HN: Infra.new, an AI Agent for Terraform
Hey HN, we built infra.new, an AI agent for Terraform that configures your infrastructure for cost and quality.

General-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Cursor are most helpful for coding when the cost of running the code and verifying the output is low. For example, if you’re making a landing page, it’s cheap and (relatively) low-risk to let an LLM edit the files and check if the outputs look good in the browser.

Cloud configuration is different because mistakes can be costly and more difficult to recover from. With infra.new we’re attempting to make this experience better by catching issues before you deploy.

Key Features:

- Fresh Documentation: The agent pulls the latest documentation for Terraform, GitHub Actions, and other tools before every change, which reduces hallucinations and stale configuration options.

- Real-Time Cost Calculator: You can see a breakdown of your cloud costs update as your configuration changes, so you know how much it will cost before you deploy.

- Automated Error Detection & Fixes: A language server scans your configuration for issues and applies fixes automatically, reducing manual debugging.

- Two-Way GitHub Sync: Import your existing configuration, ask the agent to look for optimizations, then export the changes back to GitHub.

Team Features:

- Private Modules: Connect your private Terraform Registries hosted on GitHub, SpaceLift or Terraform Cloud

- Private Templates: Set up ready-to-use templates that can be customized with a few prompts.

- Self-documenting: Export changelogs, system diagrams, and cost reports with a click.

You can try it without signing up at infra.new

Lots of reasons.

Here's one: even just switching from gcc or msvc to clang, in projects that really want to, takes years.

Here's another one: the Fil-C compiler is really young, so it almost certainly still has bugs. Those compilers that folks actually use in anger tend to get qualified on ~billions of lines of code before anyone other than the compiler devs touches them. The Fil-C compiler is too young to have that level of qualification.

So "immediately everywhere" isn't going to happen. At best it'll be "over a period of time and incrementally".

see to me, having at one point been responsible for maintaining an ES instance for logs (and exporters and all the other bits) I feel like the prices you pay in engineering hours and hardware costs to maintain all those indexes while keeping ES from absolutely melting down is way too high.

I think grep is amazing but yes if you unleash it on 'all the logs' without narrowing yourself down to a time frame first or some other taxonomy is going to be slow. This seems like a skill issue, frankly.

Also full text indexes for all the things are generally FASTER of course, but seconds/milliseconds? How much hardware are you throwing at logs. Most only go to logs in an emergency, during an incident and the like. How much are you paying just to index a bunch of shit that will probably never even be looked at, and how much are you paying for hardware to run queries on those indexes that will be largely idle.

The problems with ES/Splunk for logs is that they were not designed for logs, so they are both, in my view, overkill AND underkill for the task. Full fuzzy text serch is probably overkill, the UI for the task of dealing with log data is underkill. (The cloud bills are certainly overkill)

I'm currently doing platform engineering at a company in the top half of the fortune 500. Honestly, probably about 90-95% of the time when I'm helping a team troubleshoot their service on kubernetes I'm using the kubectl `stern` plugin (shows log streams from all pods that match a label query) and grep/sed/awk/jq if it's ongoing, it's just waaaaay more responsive. If it's a 'weird thing happened last night, investigate' task and I have to go to Kibana it's just a much worse experience overall.

I'm genuinely curious about your leverage comment. Lots of people base their browsers on the open source Chromium project. They rely on Google for the source, but they aren't indebted in any way the company. They're essentially just forking the source every time they update.

On the other hand, Mozilla develops their own source code but is almost entirely funded by Google. They are looking for alternative funding, but does receiving all your paychecks from a company give them less leverage over you than freely copying their code? I'm not convinced.

I'm sad to see Firefox take this direction, but they've been going in a bad direction for a long time, and this is a bit too far for me. Deleted it everywhere. Personally, I like Falkon and Vivaldi. Jon von Tetzchner may not release all his source, but he has a great track record over decades of browser development, and that kind of earned trust is something Mozilla has not been fostering lately. He has never demonstrated that Google, Microsoft or anyone else has "insane leverage" over him or his companies and wasn't afraid to walk away from Opera when he didn't like the direction. We need more of that in the browser space.
Amazing name for this tool.
