Or just defensively. The US invaded Iraq because they might have had WMDs. Other planets might have WMDs too. And they might think we have WMDs. Doesn’t matter if any of the sides actually do.

Habitable planets are the ultimate scarce resource. Once the earth is full we’ll have to find a way to move and there’s less than 5 good options in this solar system. In time they’ll be full too.

Unfortunately, yes. The first thing we’re going to do as soon as we fine intelligent alien life is figure out how to kill it. And sadly we’ll have to assume they’re doing the same. An no, settling Mars won’t help. If someone / somethin

This applies only if they’re learning. Learning devs who do 100s of CRUD pages will have a DSL and metaprogramming toolkit by the time they’re done. Those who don’t learn will do the same thing, like an artist making 100 copies of their own

Whoa. I had no idea grids were so powerful. This is pretty much endgame in layout. Is there a similar system for iOS and Android? Don’t think auto layout or constraints work this way. https://caniuse.com/css-grid

Just to be clear, the AGPL still allows a company to take the the software as-is, without any modification whatsoever, and run it for their customers as a hosted service, right? That's why MongoDB had to add a new clause into the AGPL

Depends entirely on workload - there's 3GB RAM available, which is more than what we use for normal monoliths on Heroku. Payload limits are 6MB or something, which isn't hit for a majority of sites on the internet (each request, n

Serverless and microservices aren’t the same thing. You can deploy a monolith to lambda, and make a thousand small services on VMs or orchestration platforms. It’s purely a question of how to organise your code.

But these are both true. The problem is only if you assign a derogatory meaning to the word liability. If the company could provide the solution it does without a team, or with a smaller team, it would - the purpose of the company is to pro

The European nations have been dealing with Russia since before there was an America, and it’s not clear that Russia would benefit from forced occupation of countries that don’t already have a large population that supported it. Irrespectiv

Yeah, I came in here thinking this was about seat law changes leading to less conception in cars.

This is a role model I can actually appreciate. I can't figure out why this is the first time I've heard of him. I've seen lots of news about people buying expensive shit, but the fact that this has never come to my attention

This probably implies they paid for permits and fees as well, which would make them direct supporters of the system. If this was a sanctioned country it would be a clear cut issue, but as long as the US can’t / refuses to impose sancti

So pretty much all measures or indexes are inaccurate in that light. The reason I like it is that it takes a product that’s priced proportionally to local labour and commodities, is globally recognisable and serves as an easy frame of refer

Probably will, but I’m struggling to see why folks would want an API for data that doesn’t change much at all. I could publish all the numbers as a JSON, not sure if anything else is necessary.

Yup, I need that too. Will add it in. The Euro zone is reported as a single economic zone in the index (it's published by the Economist). I'm not sure if the prices are actually exactly the same, but from an economic reference poi

I wrote a tool to calculate product or service prices for different parts of the world based on the Big Mac Index (the price of a local mcdonalds lunch burger). That method makes more sense to me because all your customers have a similar po

Yes and no. So I still have a giant desktop, it’s unlikely that I’ll give that up any time soon. The advantage of being able to code from a portable device is additive, not subtractive. The setzer22 post is a contemplation of future subtrac

The big draw for me is working on the iPad. If you attach the keyboard it becomes a pretty awesome 'do anything' device, now that you can code on it as well. Can't build native apps yet, but seems like a future opportunity. W

One of the things I miss in Go is immutability. Here is the context object is trying to be kept immutable with the pattern of returning a copy of the object with the mutation, which is pretty great but needs to be popular in the ecosystem t

How do you close down a Stripe Atlas LLC? Stripe has since opened up in my country and I don’t see the need for the added complexity and expense any more.

Feels like the Khan Academy apps do something like this. You progress through a tree of knowledge and can’t move to any next node until you master the one you’re on, demonstrated by solving problems. It also gives you all the help you need

There are different questions that we have at each level in Maslow’s pyramid, and HN tends to focus on the last two levels - but that doesn’t mean the questions at the other levels are any less important. There are other site, communities a

It’s already under litigation, so Brigade can’t withdraw and spend it. The case is interesting because they might have a chance at keeping the money. In other circumstances (if the money had randomly landed on their account from an unrelate

No, this is just business. Brigade has a duty to its investors to fight tooth and nail to keep this money, just like a defense lawyer has a duty to use every advantage for the client allowed under the law, acquired intentionally or otherw

If you were a customer of Brigade capital you’d be buying them champagne right now. They they just saved $170 million of your money that you would have had to accept as a loss should Revlon go bankrupt (which it probably will).

No, but it will lead to a dramatic up tick in property owners telling party hosts to take their money and get lost, which is the point.
