Ask HN: Anyone use Infosys Mana?

Kinda sorta. Yes, you a free to run off to anywhere in the world. Your passport protects you even in hostile countries. However, you are expected to return home and pay taxes. To leave the United States is an expensive affair if you want to truly leave by giving up your citizenship. To work abroad is expensive too if the foreign country has a lower tax rate. As a US citizen you are free to roam, but never to change your home.

Honestly, it's a little of both. There are loud groups of people online that will be fine with this kind of logic. In fact there is a good number of those individuals right here on HN. Essentially I outlined what their talking points will be.

At the same time, I'm tired of arguing for rights. I'm partially willing to let people burn the system to the ground to prove how right they are with removing rights from those they think to be undesirable.

I assume this comment chain, at least mine, will be hidden by dang by the end of the weekend.

The problem I have with Lombok is that suddenly it’s hard to trace getters and setter from the Pojo. By this I mean asking the question, “where is getId() used” is hard if I want to use the find references feature of the IDE.

From hangin out on Reddit for dlang, the http server is pretty slow. This has caused people to look elsewhere. Some people are trying to improve the performance, but it’s not a high priority.

They can get big. Like 400-1000 LBS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogzilla

They are vicious.

Also they are tuff. They have about 1” of skull. They also have platted shoulders. This means that many handgun calibers do little to them. Well placed shots in the eye or ear will take them about. Otherwise you need a high powered round like a .454 or .3030.

This means most creatures can’t take them on. We’ve also removed some that could like wolves.

They reproduce rapidly. Even with wolves, their numbers grow because most alpha predators don’t want to fuck around with them for fun, only for food. Once the pack is satiated, the piggies move on.

Boar are from Spain. They would let the pigs go while exploring. Come back a year later and you have a stocked larder. Hunt pig to get meat back on the menu.

That would be absolutely terrifying. The economy we have now is due to experts tinkering. Allowing the masses, who can't organize their own lives, to attempt to organize the economy will lead to more deaths and misery than the current system.

Would you want a democratically elected airplane pilot with no training?

I love WSB. Up 200% on GME, 240% NIO, 60% on Carnival Cruise. They have decent insight when you learn their lingo. They also admit this is gambling.

Current GME argument. A short squeeze will come around April. Long term the guy that fixed Chewy is going to take over. It will become a good company again. However between those two sentences is a gap where the stock will go back down to 5-10. Current theory: ride the fucker to 300-500 like VW when it was short squeezed. Get out while there are still bag holders. Get back in later.

Are there other constraints that might make DynamoDB a good fit? For example I made an app at a client. We could use RDS or we could use Dynamo. I went with Dynamo because it could fit our simple model. What’s more, it doesn’t get shut off nightly when the RDS systems do to save money. This means we can work work on it when people have to time shift due to events in the life like having to pick up the kids.

That's a poor reading of Acts 5, from a literary perspective.

5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

To point out the salient quote, "Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?" The reason for the death was lying. It was lying to the community. It was lying to look good to community, but in fact not having its interests at heart.

This also stands as evidence that Christianity, while wholeheartedly communialist is not communist nor socialist as defined Marx or Engles. The State, i.e. the Church/Apostles, does not lay claim to the means of production or personal/private property. It asks for charity. Communism has the State own everything. If anyone doesn't fall in line, they're killed.

I aware of making an interface for that. I advocate that. What I see people on r/golang saying, and even in HN, is to just pass the DB connection either explicitly or in the context. I hate this. It makes things bound to DBs.

I don't need them in Java or Typescript. The benefit is that I don't have to write these boring, but necessary pieces. As applications grow larger, especially with Go's desire to have an interface with only one method/function, DI requires a lot of boilerplate.

If there was a DI for go that used generate, then I would have compile time checking of dependencies. This would satisfy the community's sense of purity while satisfying my sense of annoyance at having to write this same process for every project.

I hope to spur conversation on this. I've seen many in the Go community argue against abstractions. Many say, "Pass the database connection in the params." Or "make the DB pool a global variable". How can you write tests for logic without having to instantiate a DB? Many gophers appear to say I should have essentially a giant transaction script for each handler (https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/transactionScript.html). The handler opens the DB, makes it at least function scoped, and all my business logic goes in the handler, or some similar method where the DB connection is passed. Now my tests are functionally integration testings. This makes them both slow, and hard to test for proper error handling.

When I write code in most OOP like languages, I follow the Clean Architecture model. The use case is an actual struct with the interfaces defining the repositories/services as members. I am now free to test the use case in isolation. I can test failure cases to since I return an error, which can be easily mocked. I write a factory to create my use cases. The handlers get the factory passed in as an argument to the constructor for server. I can now test handlers in isolation by passing a factor with mocks.

Just because a group of morons did something does not mean corporations should take it upon themselves to police the free travel of the citizenry.

Why didn’t they shut down operations across the country when COVID became a known, valid threat? They facilitated the spread of the disease.

I agree. I think, however, it just brought to the fore deeper issues with democracy. We’ve seen this develop since the equal air time rules were removed. I don’t think it scales to 300 million.

With a population of that size there are too many minority needs that go under represented. This leads to people feeling disenfranchised. Eventually something has to fill the void. Normally it’s some form of subgroup. It can be BLM, Antifa, Maga cult. By centralizing power into the federal government, which is too remote to deal with needs at the local level, all these groups can’t improve things. Riots and violence occur.
