Yes! For worse. It's possible to resist this!

I think people know it's kind of metaphorical anyway. Hey you stole my idea! You stole my joke!

Stealing credit for an idea makes sense, I guess.

• That is not mere trespass! I don't know what the name for that is. Land theft? Dispossession?

Got it, you are just an ignorant bigot.

Quick edit: looks like I really wasn't wrong about you being an ignorant bigot, just for the sake of others wanting to interact with you, a quote:

> There are literally tens of millions of foreigners already in your territories without your permission and more walking across your undefended border every day. Non-Whites will outnumber White Americans in your lifetime.

Some of his points overlap with Signal founder Moxie’s observations:

> “I don’t think it’s on a trajectory to deliver us from centralized platforms, I don’t think it will fundamentally change our relationship to technology, and I think the privacy story is already below par for the internet (which is a pretty low bar!), but I also understand why nerds like me are excited to build for it.”

You need to work out what the nearest routable adress is. This works wonderfully with taxis here.

FWIW cul de sacs are an evil invention, and what you describe is a common routing problem. The rescue services here solved it by mandating addresses with geolocation and the nearest streets for every house around here. That failed me because everyone uses that official data that is convenient for fire truck rescue.

One possible trigger for this fiasco is that André Arko and the Spinel Coop are working on rv, a Rust-based replacement four the Rubygems client. If it is as successful as uv has been for Python, it could disintermediate rubygems.

Joel Draper says as much (see the penultimate section of https://joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-takeover/) although that would be more of a motivation for RubyCentral than for Shopify.
by hshdhdhj4444 | 2025-10-01 06:21:12+00:00
I’d buy this argument but for heaven’s sake don’t rest your argument on what Shopify might be doing.

Shopify has famously done everything and then the opposite for the past 5 years.

They’re highly opportunistic in their messaging and marketing around hiring and what they publicly reveal there is better seen as propaganda than an indication of their actual hiring approach.

I think the author may have misunderstood the redundant GROUP BY columns with UNIQUE indexes. If you group by columns (A, B, C) and there is a UNIQUE index on (A, B), you can remove C (all parts not in the unique key), as there will only ever be at most one value of C due to the unique key constraint.

> This happens semi-routinely, there is a boring reality that goes along with it. [...] retroactively paid in practice

An important difference is that in the past employees were furloughed... but yesterday Republicans threatened they would permanently fire employees instead [0][1] and I'm not sure how it'll shake out.

Their hostage-taking threat falls flat though: They already have have a solid track record of capricious and/or illegal firings [3][4] since the election. There's no reason to expect appeasement would make them stop what they still want to do anyway.

Yes! I'm also a paying member but I'm deeply suspicious of this feature.

The website claims "we expose readers to the full spectrum of global perspectives", but not all perspectives are equal. It smacks of "all sides" framing which is just not what news ought to be about.

What is the difference between Kuberesolver and using a Headless Service?

In the README.md file, they compare it with a ClusterIP service, but not with a Headless on "ClusterIP: None".

The advantages of using Kuberesolver are that you do not need to change DNS refresh and cache settings. However, I think this is preferable to the application calling the Kubernetes API.

we have the same issue with HTTP as well, due to HTTP keepalive, which many clients have out-of-the box.

the "impact" can be reduced by configuring an overall connection-ttl, so it takes some time when new pods come up but it works out over time.

--

that said, i'm not surprised that even a company as large as databricks feels that adding a service mesh is going to add operational complexity.

looks like they've taken the best parts (endpoint watch, sync to clients with xDS) and moved it client-side. compared to the failure mode of a service mesh, this seems better.

Historically, congress always passed a one-time bill to retroactively pay the federal employees after each shutdown.

Because it turns out not paying your workers is extremely unpopular, especially if you want to retain them as workers in the future. Most people (federal workers included) are living paycheck-to-paycheck and can't financially weather a furlough - they still need to pay rent. The federal government would quickly find itself unable to attract employees given how often shutdowns occur.

After 2019, congress passed a law that guaranteed back-pay for future shutdowns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Employee_Fair_Treat...

As I understand it as a foreigner, some/many Democratic primaries are decided by registered Democrats voting for their preferred candidate. While the vote at the general election might see most voters already decided, the candidates that get onto the general election ballot would be influenced by those that register with the party. Over time - and without forgetting the advantages of incumbency - this could skew the type of candidate that appears on the ballot with a D next to their name, and lead to candidates that even consistent Democrat voters might reject.

My take is democrats called the republicans' "bluff" (because republicans never actually intended to release everything) and backed them into a corner of having to actively oppose the release because democrats don't.

Now, even if those files end up being a nothingburger (because republicans will just shrug off whatever makes them look bad), it'll be on republicans if they let the release happen.

My main point is: republicans aren't opposing the release because "they're on the list", they're opposing it because it'll look like a loss if the release happens.

Those two are already balanced by Zutty and Rio. So let's have a look around at some of the emulators that make using the GPU a marketing point.

DarkTile (https://github.com/liamg/darktile) accepts TTF and OTF, so presumably if you can get your bitmap font of choice converted into those formats you are alright.

GhosTTY (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) gained proper bitmap font support just last month, the issues list says, but is reliant upon what FreeType and CoreText can handle. It has an open issue discussing those vis-a-vis bitmap fonts.

Trap2 (https://github.com/tale/trap2) likewise relies upon FreeType.

Contour (https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour) at least appears to have bitmap font support. Alacritty, WezTerm, and Kitty get a lot of mentions in the issues list.

> Do you really think that would be enough to change anything?

If anything could change something, it would be these files. The Epstein case/list along with deep state child trafficking conspiracies in general is a foundational pillar of MAGA. Trump doing a 180 and saying the list doesn't matter was like the Pope saying Jesus was no big deal. He had to know this from a strategy standpoint which makes it even weirder they are trying to hide them.

Afaik there are some ways to get approval for individual vehicles to be imported in the EU, even if non compliant with EU rules, for specific purposes and with a case-by-case basis, which grants such vehicles an exemption.

This requires a per-vehicle (not per model) specific flow which may take long and cost a lot, and you may be fined if you use the vehicle outside its stated purpose.

I can remember some collectors importing cybertruck indeed, I don’t know the limitations for its use.

I am not sure why this weekend’s church shooting earned so much front page attention. I am not being discriminatory as I am a member of that church (not locally though).

I am much more interested in the Gaza Genocide, Trump tricking Bibi into a back handed apology to Qatar, and so on. At some point having sex in public be less embarrassing and more defensible than our continued support of Israel if only the spotlight remains on Israeli conduct and how much money we give them.

> kube-proxy supports only basic algorithms like round-robin or random selection

this is "partially" true.

if you're using ipvs, you can configure the scheduler to just about anything ipvs supports (including wrr). they removed the validation for the scheduler name quite a while back.

kubernetes itself though doesn't "understand" (i.e., can NOT represent) the nuances (e.g., weights per endpoint with wrr), which is the problem.

money is a weird topic - i don't know of another topic where people will say "i don't know much about that" and at the same time have an inviolable attachment to ideas like barter came first (it didn't, debt came first).

The other weird thing is attachment to models - and "schools of economic thought" more generally, when the monetary system operates under a system of legal constraints which describe exactly what is permitted to happen. We don't need macro economic models to describe the process by which banks lend money - we can literally just read the law, and what the law describes, is quite different from the theoretical models. The various schools of economic thought are remarkably uninterested in exploring the practical applications of banking. It's like programming computers to perform a task by speaking via an llm and pretending the generated code and the cpu architecture it runs on are unimportant.

Let me give a concrete example, treasury bond issuance. You or i cannot buy bonds from the government, a subset of 30 approved banks can. They don't buy them in dollars, the buy them using reserves, a kind of money that we can't use. They legally MUST buy these, the idea that a government debt won't be covered by a bond is a technical impossibility (it's also technically unnecessary but that's a whole other kettle of fish). The auctions happen every couple of days roughly but to ensure the panel banks do buy them, the treasury buys back previous bonds from them to give them the reserves to buy the new issuance. If you've read this far you should instead now go to the fed and legislation.gov and read from an authoritative source, not from a random comment on the internet. And especially not from an economist - they'll tell you the government borrows from the public which is just a model to simplify a complex topic, the legislation is quite clear about what exactly is permitted and what a reverse repo is.

Quick question: can I JUST simply C-f (or smth else) to SEARCH the terminal for text without any extra complications? Like in macos default terminal and other sane ones?

...or is this another Ghostty geeksfest that wants me to C-S-whatever to dump history into a file then pipe it into a pager etc etc etc?

In addition to the performance problems there's the basic fact that no such scheme can possibly work (as proven by the pigeonhole principle).

High compression rate schemes that actually work compress high likelihood inputs and expand low likelihood inputs by accounting for the characteristics that make inputs high likelihood--e.g., redundant highly patterned texts. Schemes that are agnostic about the input, like the one described here, are as likely to expand any given input as they are to compress it.

For reference, here are the current guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

As a long-time user I’ve seen the most change around “What to Submit”:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics

> If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic

The guidelines haven’t changed but it feels like the enforcement of it has.

For example, the US government shutdown is currently on the HN top 20: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45434146

While a mainstream newsworthy story, I fail to see how it “gratifies one's intellectual curiosity” or is “Anything that good hackers would find interesting.”

Sure, but I think that's independent of what eMSF was describing. From libgcc/gthr.h:

/* If this file is compiled with threads support, it must #define __GTHREADS 1 to indicate that threads support is present. Also it has define function int __gthread_active_p () that returns 1 if thread system is active, 0 if not.

I think the mechanism eMSF was describing (and the mechanism in the blogpost I linked) corresponds to __gthread_active_p().

I think the distinction between the two should be visible in some cases - for example, what happens for shared libraries that use std::shared_ptr and don't link libpthread, but are later used with a binary that does link libpthread?

What organizes labor are the specifics. This is what math doesn't get, math isn't timeless, it's trapped in exact moments where it appears real. The arbitrary is simply a conduit metaphor, not only not real, but entirely illusory, prone to primate biases and exploitation. And all metaphors eventually fail, that's a bio-ecological certainty. Show me a currency from 700AD still traded on arbitrary markets. There are no limitless molecules or homeostatic climate. The system is already bust in numerous indexes, we're just riding the arbitrary fan out.

I just don’t understand what this brings into the picture. Presumably your newspaper of choice already has

A) redacted the news in a format that is read friendly

B) set up a page with prioritized news

People misuse expressions. A common one is the customer is always right. The actual wording is the customer is always right in matters of taste but people cut off the ending which changes it from a sensible and useful proverb to a bunch of nonsense. Of course the customer isn't always right. They're always right in terms of what they want to buy, not in all other terms.

Similarly an exception like a lawyer being a good ceo does not prove a rule like lawyers are bad CEOs. It's nonsense. People who don't understand the proverb took it and misused it and then others took after them and here we are, I've been wondering about that proverb my entire life and I never understood how it makes any sense. Now I finally do, and I'm glad the other commenter clarified it

This article isn't just full of LLM-isms, it's unreadable because of it. When you completely delegate your editing to a machine, you're not just lazy, you're robbing yourself of the one thing that made you stand out --emdash-- your own voice.

Moreover, as we navigate this evolving paradigm, we must carefully consider the balance between efficiency, authenticity and a third thing in this list.

Maybe at the end of the day, the point of writing isn't delving into a topic and churning out text as fast as you can, but expressing your opinions in your own authentic voice.

This white paper examines OpenAI’s Commerce Feed specification and its impact on e-commerce visibility in large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. While feeds enable merchants to push structured product catalogs into AI assistants, compliance does not guarantee sustained presence or protection against substitution.

Empirical audits under the AIVO Standard™ show that brands with validated feeds can lose 30–60% prompt-space visibility within 30 days, with competitors capturing abandoned slots. This volatility creates governance risk: boards relying on feed health alone may issue materially incomplete disclosures in financial and risk reporting.

The paper introduces updates to the Prompt-Space Occupancy Score (PSOS™), including feed-backed checks, recency overlays, and closed-loop remediation verification. These innovations position PSOS as an audit-grade KPI for boards, CMOs, and digital commerce operators.

I saw that potential as obvious from day one. I just thought governments would care. Usually when someone sets up a money laundry ring, someone tries to stop it.

My best idea, that probably gives governments too much credit, is that it's pretty useful to have a transparent record of illicit money flows, and that you can be OK with a bit of crime to get it.

Not every person who does something problematic is actively seeking to do so in order to hurt someone. Also, there are plenty of people who are looking for spaces that are "okay" with their views, and a CoC that makes it clear the space is not can absolutely make them avoid it.

You are so focused on the strawman of problematic people being mustache-twirling villains trying to disrupt spaces they dislike, that you're discounting the actual purpose of CoCs, which is to make it clear who your space is for.

It's not _just_ the absurd pointiness; it's also far too heavy. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes (AIUI the Cybertruck would qualify; while its empty weight is 3.2 tonnes, what matters is the laden weight, and you'd have a hard time arguing that it could only take 300kg contents) in Europe require a speed limiter. The imposed limits vary by country, but would make it pretty impractical as a car. Typically 80km/h on motorways, 50km/h in urban areas.

They also need to beep when they reverse and so forth.

I disable notifications on stuff like this. I don't want to get interrupted by random notifications every few minutes/seconds. The vast majority of slack messages are not worth being interrupted for. The very few messages that are an exception to this are a small sacrifice. I got in the habit of scanning the slack UI every once in a while to see if anything needs my attention. So, I pull notifications rather than getting them pushed to me. I check less often when I'm busy.

I find that if you don't respond in real time people around you adapt to that. If you always respond instantly, it lowers the barrier for them to bother you more. So, you'll be dealing with them constantly. If you simply delay your response, they'll adapt and be less likely to interrupt you.

It's worth noting that the FSI estimates are hours of direct classroom instruction, and that FSI cares a lot more about input than output. For someone who is looking to be fluent across all four competencies and is self studying, you can expect a lot more time to be invested.

> Hegseth is telling top brass to prepare for war...

Hegseth said, "To ensure peace, we must prepare for war. From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is war fighting. Preparing for war and preparing to win."

Clausewitz said the same thing, and the Romans were saying "Si vis pacem, para bellum" about 2500 years ago. Is what Hegseth saying so different to JFK saying, "'Pursue peace,' the Bible tells us, and we shall pursue it with every effort and every energy that we possess. But it is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war."? Or so very different to Gerald Ford saying, "America's first goal is and always will be peace with honor. America must remain first in keeping peace in the world. We can remain first in peace only if we are never second in defense."?

Whatever the criticisms of the current US administration, someone expressing the idea that securing peace means preparing for war doesn't seem all that remarkable.
