I wonder why there aren't super popular solutions for managing hosts entries in an automated way for development, since if you need to share entries with other people for a bunch of projects, then adding them manually is cumbersome and running a separate DNS server just for development is not less so, whereas using public DNS records set to local addresses seems a bit dirty.

In other words, where's:

hostman apply Hostfile
hostman clear Hostfile
This is also why devs are not in charge of purchase decisions at tech companies. I don't mean FAANG but the usual tech shops.
Someone buys a tool and you have to use it. I think the startups selling dev tools are not selling to developers at all, but to the IT folks of these big tech firms.

Should they pull it off, it's not at all a bad startup to build. However, you need to now invest in a sales force that can sell to the Fortune 500. As a tech founder with no sales trope, this will be incredibly hard to pull off.

I digress, but yeah selling to devs is almost always a terrible idea since we all want to build our own stuff. That spirit may also be waning with the advent of Replit agent, Claude code and other tools.
That’s a huge trap.

Yes, it’s simple at the beginning but it takes a lot of effort to move to non-port based solution for anything.

Cuts are small at the beginning (oh, this service should use other PostgreSQL, so lets have two - oh but I my code doesn’t specify port in an config file, so let me put on direnv - oops IDE didn’t pick up env file) but they grow quickly.

Containers are standard nowadays and allow going for Kubernetes if one wants. With solutions like Justfile or Taskfile its reasonably ergonomic.
Obviously we can't be truly certain without running an experiment or few, but...

1) If they're being forced to do something, that suggests someone doesn't believe they would do it voluntarily. Nobody more suspicious than the person who forces others to do things for their own good.

2) Businesses are invariably blamed for inflation. Every single time the subject comes up organically somebody pipes up to blame "greedy businesses"; it is basically a meme. Some business owners would start up a non-inflating currency just to escape that. They don't want to be political scapegoats.

3) You can spot a bunch of banking crisises coming a mile away, the financial system seems to be mathematically guaranteed to collapse from time to time as I understand it. If given the choice a bunch of people would rather sign up for alternative systems that only enter a crisis state unexpectedly. That includes small business owners.

Would they still accept USD? In the US, probably. But a bunch of alternatives would crop up and it is by no means guarenteed that the USD would be competitive. The US Fed manages the currency and they do a terrible job.

You're kinda splitting hairs here which lends me to believe you also fail to grasp the reality of the situation. We have no idea if Trump really knows the difference between the words transgenic and transgender, but we know that these studies are mostly--if not completely--focused on aspects other than simply changing the sex of the mice. If I had to guess, the grant proposals probably contained enough woke buzzwords to make them appear to be such.

It makes working with a complex Angular enterprise application less painful. I hate Angular with a passion.
I would say docker-compose with traefik is definitely the easiest! You can even set dependencies between services to ensure that they load in the right order, do networking, etc.

If you're interested in running locally, a solution like kubernetes seems slightly overkill, but it can be fun to mess with for sure!
Can you provide any details on what did and did not work well in V4 that was different afterwards?
I've noticed this with drums too. Trying out more complex things that required more coordination than I'd typically been able to use up to that point... I noticed that after taking a long break - like 6mo, between bands, etc - with me playing very little in between, I could then sit down and play the thing I couldn't before effortlessly.

I still don't understand it, but I'm here for it.
Sure. On the one hand, everything adhered to the letter of the law. On the other, he used his money to get served before other people in an otherwise similar position would have been able to do.

I personally view that as more of a failing in the system itself (why are there multiple lines to begin with when organ transport is a solved problem?), but it's not unreasonable to look at somebody exploiting that broken system and question their character.

yeah as an economy - you don't want to ever receive IMF money. Lots of African and Caribbean countries will attest to that. IMF money is like having the mafia control your money - the structural adjustments will kill the natural course of your economy and never recover.

You assume the battery conditions stay the same.

But what if the battery heats up a lot during a climb and is still hot while going down? It is know batteries charge slow when they are hot.
I've done road trips on my SR+ model 3 and it hasn't been a big problem. What is a problem is if you're going somewhere that has no chargers (or no superchargers).

If you have a big trip then you can charge to 100% if you need to.

Yes, if you go faster you'll use more energy per km. If you're pushing it then you're going to want to slow down a little.

In my "daily" driving I use about 20%-30% of capacity max and I have a pretty long commute. I tend to keep my battery around 50% most of the time and not go too low or too high.

There are certainly trips to remote places that I can't do with my EV and I have made some adjustments to trip plans to accommodate but all in all it's been a non-issue.

Btw, if we're running down a list of issues then phantom drain is another one. I do worry about energy loss when camping e.g. I've had a situation where I got to the campground with ~20% and the next day in the cold was something like ~10% and barely made it to the charger.
I personally have a magnet implant in my hand, so I find it endlessly interesting to read accounts of people on the cutting edge at the time. It has certainly become a lot more accessible and safe in the years since this blog.

Woah, so much overcomplication in the comments!

If you want to run multiple applications, how about ... just running them? It sounds like you already do that, so what is the real problem that you are trying to solve?

If it's annoying to start them by hand one by one, you could use Foreman or Overmind to start them with a single command, and interleave their output in a terminal.
Not to mention, PPE protects you against diseases which aren't COVID-19 - the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis... health care workers are always going to be safer (and keep their patients safer!) by masking up.
It's not a given, actually. Drafts and levies are a recurring theme in military, but it's not a constant, and much of historic warfare was done by what we today would call "professional soldiers", without any conscripts. A lot depends on how warfare looks - conscripting, especially during wartime gets you lots of bodies, but not particularly willing ones, and they won't be eager learners. If your doctrine is what Russians are doing right now in Ukraine, sure, you will eventually need a draft then. If it's more high-tech, maybe not so much.

As far as serial killers go, that's a really bad example because there were several high-profile cases historically of people executed instead of the serial killer who actually committed the murder - for example, Aleksandr Kravchenko was executed for a murder committed by Andrei Chikatilo (who would eventually also be executed). Or how about Timothy Evans? So it's not like this is an option that comes free of innocent suffering, either (I should also note that the people who actually carry out the execution later learning that they killed an innocent is also not exactly great).
No, I can't, I'm not allowed to edit the post.
Most European nations don't have nukes.

If Russia overruns Ukraine (which, I really hope, they won't be able to), their next targets are Moldova, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia.

Will Europe start a nuclear war over any of these countries being invaded? Doubt it.
I also dont know why OP wants to jump into kubernetes directly instead of just using docker...
> LLMs still seem as terrible at this as they'd been in the GPT-3.5 age. Software agents break down once the codebase becomes complex enough, game-playing agents get stuck in loops out of which they break out only by accident, etc.

This has been my observation. I got into Github Copilot as early as it launched back when GPT-3 was the model. By that time (late 2021) copilot can already write tests for my Rust functions, and simple documentation. This was revolutionary. We didn't have another similar moment since then.

The Github copilot vim plugin is always on. As you keep typing, it keeps suggesting in faded text the rest of the context. Because it is always on, I kind of can read into the AI "mind". The more I coded, the more I realized it's just search with structured results. The results got better with 3.5/4 but after that only slightly and sometimes not quite (ie: 4o or o1).

I don't care what anyone says, as yesterday I made a comment that truth has essentially died: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43308513 If you have a revolutionary intelligence product, why is it not working for me?
I like to combine both locally — bind to port 0 to get an arbitrary unprivileged port, and use domains in /etc/hosts for easier configuration ;-)

For those not familiar with what you are talking about, you can add things like the following to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.1.1 foo.local
127.0.2.4 foo.bar.local
...

They will all resolve to local host, so make sure to bind your services to those IP addresses (eg. `nc -l 127.0.2.4 80` will bind only to 127.0.2.4 on port 80).

But running on unprivileged ports like 80 means you've got to run the server as root.
Don't you want the overheat protection at the end of a long drive? [edit: or is this just for the cabin temperature?]

The big difference between a dedicated banking app and the one in the browser is permissions.

It sends me notifications when money arrives or is spent. Scanning a QR code to pay for something is much less clunky than doing the same in a browser. And it integrates into my phone authentication system so I only need to scan my fingerprint to open the app instead of remembering a password and waiting for a one-time code.

What do I do on the app? I check the balance on my accounts, I move money between my accounts to get more interest, I pay for my kid's remedial classes, I pay my trainer, I scan QR codes to pay online when the shop provides this payment option so I don't have to type in my card details, I check my virtual card details when I do have to enter them, I buy and sell stocks.

> Why do tech workers get so wrapped around the axle of layoffs when most people are in a chronic state of tech job hopping?

I know lots of people hop jobs to get promoted. It's understandable too: promotion has become a prestige. It hurts to see coworkers get promoted yet oneself stays at the same place, let alone promotion is the only way to get a larger package. Personally, I think the promotion culture, especially the one popularized by Meta, is pretty ruinous to the tech companies, as many people exclusively focused on getting promoted. That means first write less code but draw more boxes, then draw fewer boxes and write more docs, and then write fewer docs but go to more meetings. Soon it's hard to distinguish a high-level engineer from a technical PM, from a director (except that the IC does not have direct report), or even from a program manager. The end result is that the company gets more bloated, slows down every day, and produces bullshit systems. When those ICs go out to interview, all they can do is throwing around a few terms and fail miserably on even the most basic questions.
Nice, I wasn't aware of git worktrees at all!
The shortening of the telomeres is a protective mechanism against the development of cancer. But it only applies to non-stem-cells. In contrast, (adult) stem cells keep their telomeres intact and can divide themselves an unlimited number of times. Some of the stem cells develop into non-stem-cells when the supply of non-stem-cells becomes low.

There are many factors to aging. DNA damage, that is not repaired, accumulates over the years. And then there are also damages to the tissue on the microscopic and on the macroscopic scale that don't fully heal.
The right answer is to nationalize it. Set up some sort of independent non-profit steering committee, and maybe redirect some of the massive savings Elon has pulled out of his ass to fund the actual core development. That solves the "who spends $1b per year on development if not an adtech" problem. If the US was a functioning state right now, I might suggest making it an international organization to encourage buy in from developers and backers outside our borders.

Browsers are one of the most critical pieces of modern software infrastructure, both from a security-footprint perspective and as a vehicle for (mis-)information delivery, so maybe they're too important for ANY commercial entity to use them as a bludgeon to for their agenda.

If they no longer control the core project, then Google (or Microsoft) have a much harder job doing self-serving stuff. They could nuke Manifest v2 in THEIR Chromium derivative, but core Chromium isn't going to give it up-- the Operas and Vivaldis of the world don't have to spend their limited resources trying to unwind the change to keep a desired feature.

A front collapse can happen rapidly, as we saw with the russian front line in 2022. Russia, unfortunately, has massive military advantages over Ukraine. Ukraine is basically holding on because the people are fighting for their country, while russians are fighting either for money or to kill/invade.

Russians are slowly creeping in. I've heard ru-bankruptcy narrative for 3 years now, and it's not happening. They can buy lots of stuff with all the oil/gas/metals/minerals/lumber sales.
Is there a reason you didn't quote the next two sentences that directly address that?

The scariest story I've heard was a parked diesel pickup truck going runaway acceleration because of the hydrocarbon vapours in the air due to an industrial accident.

They abandoned the pickup and it subsequently got blamed "A diesel pickup truck that was idling nearby ignited the vapor, initiating a series of explosions and fires that swept through the unit and the surrounding area".

I read about it in one of the disaster reports about the Texas City BP refinery explosion. Ugly mistakes were made.
Perhaps change it to UTC time and provide time conversion. It took longer to read the instructions than it did to understand it.

I've been playing since about 1989 with FS4. It's come a long way in the last 35+ years! FS2024 is so incredibly immersive that it is almost unimaginable. With modest gaming hardware, you can play at 40fps at 4K.

I sincerely wonder how long that will be true. Google was amazing and didn't have more than small, easily ignorable ads in 1999, and they weren't really tracking you the way they are today, just an all-around better experience than Google delivers today.

I'm not sure that it's a technology difference that makes LLM a better experience than search today, it's that the VC's are still willing to subsidize user experience today, and won't start looking for return on their investment for a few more years.

Do you actually need to just run them, or do you need to bring them up and down through automation?

If you just need to have them running, nginx and /etc/hosts are your friends. You can script those as well, put a magic comment or two in hosts and split on that and change the inbetween programmatically, add a sites-available that maps port to name in hosts.

If you need to spin up, tear down, spin up, tear down, then containers is a more convenient option. Name your containers to make them discoverable, don't get bogged down in kubectl or similar tooling.
Every entrepreneur has that one idea they’ve been sitting on—waiting for validation, feedback, or the right co-founder. SparkLaunch is built to solve that.

It’s a platform where you can:
Share your startup ideas and get real feedback
Rate and review ideas based on problem validation, feasibility, and market potential
Connect with like-minded builders who can help bring ideas to life

Too many great ideas never make it past the “notes app” stage. What’s the best startup idea you’ve had but never launched?

Would love to hear your thoughts! Try it out at sparklaunch.io and show us some love on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/sparklaunch
If you want to avoid containers/complexity, you could just have a shell script (or choose your pet language) that starts the apps via a single command on your machine (e.g. $> start-my-app).

That would handle the actual startup on your specified ports (it could even randomly discover open ports and use those if you don't care).
> Nothing kills your company’s culture like layoffs,” Kelleher once said.

Or maybe the culture is already rotten before the layoff. I've seen so many companies in the bay area have become so bloated and bureaucratic. Directors and VPs have very senior engineers who exclusively go to meetings to "align". Directors who report to directors who report to directors who report to VPs who report to VPs who report to VPs. PMs and engineers and managers are all gatekeepers who focus exclusively on ensuring that a project will not fail before it is even conceptualized. Distinguished engineers draw bigger boxes and pass them to Principal Engineers who draw smaller boxes and pass them to Senior Staff Engineers to draw even smaller boxes until a poor E5 or E4 engineers implement the whole thing. We have so many professional box drawers, expert meeting goers, seasoned report writers, fierce gatekeepers, anything but engineers who can implement systems end to end. As a result, a 6-month one-person project gets finished half assed by a team of 60 with 5 layers of report chain. A 3-week project requires 3 months of approval and another three months of PoC.

In such case, what can a company possibly do to at least survive a little longer, even in hope of improving its culture? I guess layoff is not a bad answer.
Absolutely. With Russia disintegrating China can get it's lost territories back and dominate Russia's former pacific region.

Right now China is pressuring Russia into lots of one sided deals and is taking over large parts of the economy but that holds no candle to taking over the Vladivostok region.
