That's not what he means when he says multi-cloud.

He means his product supports multiple clouds, through terraforms providers, for example.

Doing the same infra, across multiple clouds, is a different thing, it's not a Hashi thing.

The brain is analog and chemical, AI will be digital and silicon. We have no idea how the map from one to the other.

I have a Samsung S34J55x, and a DisplayPort 4 port KVM from Lindy. I have 3 laptops connected, all different makes (lenovo, dell, ms), and they generally take 1-2 sec to switch between machines. Maybe the key is the video interface eg HDMI vs DVI vs DP, be an interesting experiment.

That's not a problem caused by git, it's a problem caused by undisciplined developers.

I couldn't disagree more. He wants privacy, I don't, at least as far as job opportunities.

New comment by leriksen in "Ask HN: Does programming have any value outside of electronic systems?"

first useful programs were knitting mills and carpet machines around 1800 - there was no conditional logic, just a long loop of effectively what were just print statements. See jacquard looms on wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquard_loom#/media/File:Jacq...

first real program is often attributed to Countess Ada Lovelace, in describing operations of the Babbage machine in 1843. She even had a bug in her "code". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#First_computer_pr...

It might be the lack of coffee and food, (I read this before breakfast), but the mental image of a flower describing how it got watered kept popping into my head - the flower can't decide whats more impressive, the watering can containing the water, or the water itself. And in the middle of telling the story, every now and then, the flower says "But look how pretty I am !!"

You could engage a contract management agency to do your invoicing, and to deduct your tax, super etc commitments. Companies like Entity Solutions, ADAPS etc offer this service at either a flat or percentage rate, based on length of contract, rate of income etc. Some even bundle in an accountant at the end of the FY to do your tax for you. For a one-off gig it might be easier than setting up your own structure. The other consideration is Professional Indemnity/Public Liability insurance -(usually referred to as PI/PL) - you can get your own policy, or again there are agencies willing to bundle you under their cover for a flat or percentage rate. Do your research and don't work without insurance.
