> which network and disk usage does it report? Just the main process or all its forks? Same problem in RC.

Well, the main process and its whole hierarchy, that's what you would expect of an init system monitoring its services, right? And what's nice with systemd is that I can get that from a simple `systemctl status my-service` – of course I could deploy a whole observability stack, but better if I can avoid it.

But there is no need to be defensive, it RC can that's nice, if it can't, then well, too bad.

> there are so many other tools already integrated into the system that the init system doesn't need to bother.

That's what I'd love to hear about, what are the equivalent in the BSDs world.

> but for technical tools it can be pragmatic

I've thoroughly enjoyed using ImGui for tooling around image processing, computational geometry, a bunch of 3D projection stuff. The fact that it's based on OpenGL or Vulkan or whatever backend you want is a big win for this kind of work. I can just take a bunch of pixels, throw them into a texture, and render some quads with those textures painted on them after going through some 2D transformations or 3D projection/transformation. It's quite beautiful for all of this. ImPlot for doing basic data plotting and the built-in ImGui widgets for controlling the whole thing.

Onlook (https://www.onlook.com/) | Founding Engineer (Fullstack / AI) | San Francisco or REMOTE (US) | Full-time

Onlook is an AI-native visual editor that lets designers, PMS, and engineers collaborate directly in the browser. We launched earlier this year, hit #1 on Hacker News, became the #1 trending repo on GitHub (above DeepSeek + Anthropic), and have grown to 22,000+ stars. We’re now hiring our first Founding Engineer.

We’re a design-led, product-obsessed team backed by YC, and we’re building a next-generation visual IDE used by tens of thousands of designers and engineers.

What we’re looking for:

• Full-stack engineer comfortable owning large, ambiguous problems

• Strong bias toward building fast and shipping often

• High craft, strong opinions, and willingness to defend them

• Desire to build an open-source product in public

• Someone who wants to help shape the culture, architecture, and direction from day one

Tech: Next.js, Tailwind, tRPC, Supabase, Drizzle, Bun, Docker, Anthropic, AI SDK.

What you’ll do: You’ll work across the stack, contribute to one of the fastest-growing OSS projects ever backed by YC, design and ship core parts of the visual editor, work with 100+ contributors, and help define the product with real users. If you’re in SF, we have a beautiful office near South Park.

How to stand out: Share something you’ve built. A project, repo, or portfolio tells us more than a resume.

There's something fundamentally strange about how prices have spiked and inventory has tightened since Covid. Where I live in rural New England, prices are up 50–100% in five years. And this is on pretty poor quality homes. Yes, low interest rates led to a surge in buying and bidding wars that spiked the baseline, but when people say "the real problem is there isn't enough housing" that feels incomplete to me. Of course supply has been an issue for a while, but home prices nearly doubling in five years doesn't look like a normal supply story -- it's not as if we suddenly created 20-50% more qualified buyers in that time. I guess the lack of churn, with people hanging onto those sweet 3% mortgages much longer than usual, is probably part of it. But I really don't have an answer for the current state of home buying. I make great money but if I was to buy a house the quality of the house I got in 2018 with the same % down payment I would be looking at over 40% of my take home going to a mortgage, PMI and taxes.

I dropped my Game Pass sub immediately after they upped the sub price and unplugged my Xbox Series X. I have a Bazzite machine, but I've had issues with the NVidia drivers and not enough patience to deal with it. So i'm currently ONLY using my Steam Deck OLED for gaming. When i want to play big AAA games at my desk (SD in docked mode), i'll use GeForce Now and all of it has been a wonderful experience, even the online "competitive" FPS games like BF6. Much better than my experience on either Windows or Xbox. I'll never go back... and i'm impatiently waiting on my Steam Machine!

I did indeed play in the era LanceH is talking about, and I agree with them! We had many thriving communities with no serious cheating problems because of community moderation.

Yes, there were poorly moderated servers, but you could simply leave and try a different community until you found one that clicked for you. When you require equal moderation everywhere, you throw the baby out with the bath water.

bootstrap.sh is buggy. The message about running the git submodule command is never shown because the directory already exists in the repo.

It also looks specifically for .exe files, when a linux compiler won't append that suffix.

It also looks in the x64 directory, which was not created when I ran it.

For some reason even though I have dotnet 8.x installed it compiled with dotnet 6.x and complained about 6.x being obsolete.

The generate_project script also looks for a .exe file, but even when stripped off the process fails with namespace errors for 'main' and 'sharpmake'. These errors occur in a temporary file unfortunately so they're hard to investigate.

Many technologies plateau, but we don't say they all have winters. Terrestrial radio winter? Television winter? Automobile winter? Air travel winter? Nuclear power comes close in terms of its tarnished image and reluctance to reinvest.

I personally believe contemporary AI is over-hyped, but I cannot say with confidence that it is going to lead to a similar winter as the last time. It seems like today's products satisfy enough users to remain as a significant area, even if it doesn't greatly expand...

The only way I could see it fizzling as a product category is if it turns out it is not economically feasible to operate a sustainable service. Will users pay a fair price to keep the LLM datacenters running, without speculative investment subsidies?

The other aspect of the winter is government investment, rather than commercial. What could the next cycle of academic AI research look like? E.g. exploration that needs to happen in grant-funded university labs instead of venture-funded companies?

The federal funding picture seems unclear, but that's true across the board right now for reasons that have nothing to do with AI per se.

Well at the bare minimum setting up proto files and knowing where they live across many projects.

If they live in their own project, making a single project be buildable with a git clone gets progressively more complex.

You now need sub modules to pull in your protobuf definitions.

You now also need the protobuf tool chain to be available in your environment you just cloned to. If that environment has the wrong version the build fails, it starts to get frustrating pretty fast.

Compare that to json, yes I don't get versioning and a bunch of other fancy features but... I get to finish my work, build and test pretty quickly.

Income isn't wealth. Someone making $62,000/yr in income without working at 55 (i.e. no Social Security) is likely comfortable. That's >$1m in invested assets plus whatever is owed to them as retirement income when they reach retirement age. It's especially unclear if everyone else's payroll taxes should be spent allowing this person to retire a few years earlier.

This is all before including the other large personal expense (housing) for this person is likely imputed rents from homeownership which aren't counted as income but function that way.

I tried to look at the landing page and it crashed Mobile Safari... relaunched it, scrolled a bit down, scrolling smeared rows of pixels up my viewport rather than text. It eventually redrew and reset the viewport, I scrolled some more, then it crashed Safari again.

In the spirit of not just grumping emptily, I did just get TFA to load on desktop. I'm grateful, Fernando, for the detailed dev-to-dev style here—and I admire your commitment to a high level of polish!

I wonder, though: you point out in the article—

> Achieving native feel in this area was tedious and challenging with React Native. When v0 iOS was in public beta, Apple released iOS 26. Every time a new iOS beta version came out, our chat seemingly broke entirely. Each iOS release turned into a game of cat-and-mouse of reproducing tiny discrepancies and jitters.

This feels like a treadmill of tiny rough edges that won't be going away anytime soon, especially with your (rightfully) world-class standards. And on Apple's timetable, too: it seems like each iOS evolution will likely introduce new elements of roughness, and they'll be iterating the OS through its release cycle without regard to how it interacts with your needs or workarounds. (A mental image of the winter sport of curling comes to mind)

If you were to do it all over again, would you think about building on native technologies instead? Or do the React Native benefits outweigh the native iOS UI polish, even though "we decided to share types and helper functions, but not UI or state management"?

Light speed is the limit. The greys have mentioned 80% the speed of light is a good average clip.

As a human, you think anyone has to “get up and walk around.” 99.99% of their population never leave their embryonic sac. I don’t want to freak you out, that’s just how they are. They spend their whole lives interacting through their minds and technology.

So yes, all of their generations are packed in an “RV” and yes, they do what they do for as humans say “shits and giggles. What else would a long lived life form who has conquered perpetual space habitation do with their time? Mass produce consume? Start wars? That is for impatient Man.

The greys were actually traveling from outward of the galactic disc toward the Pleiades cluster. They only noticed Earth (an otherwise unassuming system) on account of its unusual radiological signatures. Other than Earth being a beautiful gem, the Plaidian star cradle looks much more interesting from afar. Arguable.

My beliefs on aliens: There are almost certainly slime-mold level lifeforms outside of the earth. They are too far away to interact with ever. Plot device physics, like warp drives, are impossible. If smart aliens show up, they’re probably refugees from a dead world who will just eat us.

Regarding disclosure: the nexus of political hacks, permanent bureaucrats, organized crime, financial robber barons, and unhinged zealots that make and execute policy are so constitutionally untrustworthy that whatever they say about aliens, I will believe the opposite. I am 38, and I don’t think any important topic ‘the government’ has asked me to believe in during my lifetime has turned out to be true.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

These are just excuses to convince yourself that what the US is doing is "not bad" but what India is doing is "terrible".

Both are doing similar things. You have no idea what the US is doing; I have some inkling, and it is terrible.

At least India is publicly disclosing what this app does, and that the phone has this app. Do you have any idea what the US does?

Hint: that big data center in Utah, what is it for?

Another hint: the US has given many billions of dollars to US telecom companies under the guise of "rural broadband" and "rural cell service". Has the state of rural service really changed much in the last 30 years?? Why has all that money been given, then?

Experienced software developer, currently available for freelance work. I'd be happy to sign either a conventional months-long software development contract, or a short consulting contract.

Location: UK Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Resume/CV: By request Email: (my username) at protonmail dot com

My preferred coding style is high-rigour and highly-documented, which tends to be a great fit for contract work. I have a track record of delivering quality results under minimal supervision.

My specialist skills:

- The Rust language, which has been my daily driver for more than a decade.

- Multimedia (2D rendering, vector graphics, video, audio, libav, Web Codecs...)

- Performance optimisation (parallel programming, SIMD, GPU acceleration, soft-realtime programming...)

Fields in which I'm highly experienced, but below specialist level:

- Web development, with a frontend bias (TypeScript, React, JS build systems, the Web platform, WebGL, WebGPU, Node, WebAssembly...)

- Native development (native build systems, FFIs, low-level Win32, basic fluency in C/C++...)

- Leadership, communication and technical writing, all learned in a previous career.

I should also mention a modest level of experience in computer vision, greenfield R&D, game engine development, programming language development, and data compression. I'm comfortable with ubiquitous tools like Bash, Make, Git, GitHub, Docker and Figma. (Sorry for the keyword spam; you know how it is.)

I'm currently offering a 50% discount for any contract which seems highly educational. My areas of interest include acoustics, DSP, embedded programming, Svelte, Solid, functional languages, Swift, and backend development in general.

I can be flexible on time zones. No interest in relocating long-term, but I'd be happy to visit your team in person for a few days to break the ice.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you :-)

>they just linked to a Wikipedia article about Raytheon

Yeah, that's why I took a guess at what they were trying to say.

>Is that supposed to intrinsically represent "immorality"?

What? The fact that they linked to Wikipedia, or specifically Raytheon?

Wikipedia does not intrinsically represent immorality, no. But missile manufacturing is a pretty typical example, if not the typical example, of a job that conflicts with morals.

>Have they done more harm than, say, Meta?

Who? Raytheon? The point I'm making has nothing to do with who sucks more between Meta and Raytheon.

> People who advocate paying the higher cost ahead of time to perfectly type the entire data structure AND propose a process to do perform version updates to sync client/server are going to lose most of the time.

that's true. But people also rather argue about security vulnerabilities than getting it right from the get-go. Why spend an extra 15 mins effort during design when you can spend 3 months revisiting the ensuing problem later.

> Let's say these investements just break even with spend. Isn't that better for society?

That's a big leap you're making. Because you're first of all assuming that all of what you describe will happen (show me a true self driving car outside of test cases for example). And on top you're saying that it breaks even with spend. Which is something we simply don't know. My guess is that every vendor is subsidizing to gain market share.

I don't want to debt utility. But when it's accurately priced, will we see where it's useful
