I’ve worked on a couple NSF grants and I believe this cost could be covered by the grant. Whether the granting institution is okay with this I don’t know but if I had to guess they probably see an $11K spend to distribute the results of the

Now I’m halfway through Heretics and I believe the last 3 books would make an excellent dialogue-heavy anime. Very hard to see them as widely popular films.

God Emperor was on and off for me but by the end I was looking forward to a reread. It has some truly startling ideas and a solid marching plot.

I did this program and it's still paying dividends years later. Highly recommend if you (like me several years ago) are sitting in your dorm room reading HN and feel like you're outside the main silicon valley groups.

This is a great observation. In the end, the goal of a terminal usable by people and machines was folly. Machines can use the shell, humans can use the command prompt.

I work on what you might call a 'database IDE' and we have actually gone in the opposite direction, adding more features for offline development and maintaining state offline. We were pretty open either way but our users pulled us

How can you not think this is great? Freeing humans from menial tasks is the way forward. Remember when people (mostly women) would spend hours washing? Machines and automation freed them.

I think the hybrid model is just because of inertia. Working fully remote will be the norm for most software companies. Not sure about other industries.

I agree. https://github.com/jonls/redshift has been a gamechanger to me. Hint for those with desktops: redshift may fail to detect your location so you can use -l lat:long to set it.

Looks pretty nice. The codebase is half typescript and half Java? Guessing that is because Kafka is written in Java. Another question: how might this compare to the Confluent web GUI? Obviously this is open source which is great.
