It's used now as official term on AWS and probably other clouds as well. Its the new hot thing since you don't need to provision any servers or infrastructure. All you do is write code and deploy it to a cloud platform. And it's much much cheaper as well.

He didn't mean it like that (or at least I think he didn't). Imagine it like person walking/running - When you are expect to walk at some pace (5GHz) you can do it proficiently for long time, considering you get your regular inputs and outputs taken care of (basic cooling, regular power drain), when you overclock - run, you need much more care to be able to run for a long time (stronger cooling, more power headroom, overclocking motherboard).

What Intel in this demo did is strapped you behind the car and drove a 100 meters dash proclaiming - look he survived, he 'ran' that 100 meters run like a champ, it's possible to run this fast.
I've forgotten about the reserved partition and you've reminded me of when this was last a problem for me. I had a multi-boot set up with GRUB and managed to make the reserved partition unusable somehow and never managed to recover it. This meant I could work with Linux but not recover Windows

You need to plan for losing your main partition and any other partition on the same device, i.e. you cannot rely on recovery partitions.

I suggest a combination of booting suitable disk imaging tools from a USB pen drive (both for creation and restoration of your disk images) and storing disk images on a large external USB drive or on a network server, so that the former is small, disposable and practically read-only and the latter doesn't need to be bootable.
If Torvalds is trying to engender a culture by being the only one swearing then I'd be very curious where he learned that technique and how he was measuring its success over the many years he's exhibited that behaviour. Occam's Razor suggests that the more likely cause is that he's just an angry man who can't (or doesn't want to) moderate his behaviour.

I don't want to assume too much about your wife's job or personality, but I'd also assume she would swear in a way that was reciprocal with those under therapy, based on a communication style they had established together... as opposed to her swearing at them while they were being perfectly polite.

The SpaceX comparison is a bad example. Sure they could have said "this and that happened", but there's always the point on how much you can trust the data you get at that point. I fully understand them not talking about failures when cause and consequences aren't even remotely understood.

But I understand where you're coming from, and I agree: Tesla quickly released statements claiming the safety benefits of Autopilot, putting all the blame on the driver, and even providing misleading statements ('the driver was warned multiple times' but leaving out that that happened 15+ minutes prior). That was the exact opposite, when they didn't know the cause of the accident, but were quick to just deny any wrongdoing.
You are right to a degree about 'sellable tech' but I would hate programming if I had only learned Java and stuck to it because it's popular.

For me, I actually feel passionate about tech choices because some tech is just awesome and fun. Most of the enterprise shit is not fun at all, but very sellable.

But as a junior Dev, I would start with sellable of course.
I fail to see how you could possibly fit a (what looks to be) backscatter X-ray machine into a phone case like that, let alone do it in such a way that the person using it day-in day-out doesn't get cancer.

Ask HN: Would your business pay for supported open source?
Some larger open source projects run their own commercial support offerings, but smaller projects don't tend to have this.

Would there be any benefit to a 3rd party company stepping in and offering a paid support contract for a wide variety of open source projects?

I'm guessing that some open source authors don't want to get into the legal fuss around paid support, so I'm wondering if there is a market gap here.
Am I right that sex offender registers are public in the US? And they sometimes include people convicted of very minor crimes?

I did exactly that, coming from the 2012 MBPr, to make sure I’ll have a reasonable machine for the next 3 years (having warranty again). It’s better to pay relatively much for relatively old hardware that works well, than more for newer hardware that doesn’t. The only serious issue with the 2015 model, the screen coating, gets fixed easily. Newer models have fragile keyboards, oversized trackpads, a lack of ports, and more. Good luck having those fixed. If you do want a Mac and can get away with its performance (graphics in particular), get the 2015 over the 2017, no doubt.

The Dangers of Reading in Bed
Unless you believe in some "higher purpose" you have to find your own purpose in life. Mine is to learn as much as I can to become the best version of myself such that I will leave a legacy. Some people find purpose in procreation although I would argue that's too easy and not necessary.

I find pleasure in the things I work on. Programming, music, food to name a few. I use technology when it can make my life easier without sacrifice in quality or it can do a better job than I can. I don't strive for convenience. Nobody on their deathbed relishes in memory of a convenient life.

So, for me, work that leads to technology to enable the above absolutely has purpose.

Most people on HN are interested and affected, which is why it's been discussed so much in the past week [1]. Few if any stories have been so heavily discussed in all of HN's history.

> "giving two or three users the ability to completely hide a popular submission they do not agree with"

> "it simply places users in a filter bubble by only showing them content that no two other users have ever disagreed with"

If that was actually how the site worked, top users would mutiny, the whole community would depart, and then dang would lose his job as there'd be no community left for him to moderate.

> "eliminating nearly all arguments and controversy"

> "Removing controversial submissions just as quickly as spam"

There's disagreement and controversy on HN all the time. HN is not controversy-averse, it's averse to stories that lack originality and substance.

> "Many people who have spent much more time on Hacker News than I have agree that there is room for improvement (see, for example, the analysis from last year"

Sure. I agree there is room for improvement. Dang agrees there is room for improvement. You'll note that dang participated actively in the discussion thread about that post, and even helped with the writing of it by providing clarifications.

> "it seems that they are currently not interested in investing additional time into creating a truly healthy community"

Dang spends all day every day (including most weekends) working to make this community healthy, which includes reading and considering all the feedback that comes his way. He does this like his livelihood depends on it, because it does; if HN declines, he's out of a job.

It really does seem like your critiques are based on misapprehensions.

It's good that you're so passionate about helping to make HN better, but you'll be more effective at that if you spend some time properly understanding it :)

Assuming we're talking C, not C++, the compiler doesn't need to know that the arguments are pointers to union members, because the union members are all aligned with the union itself and have the same address. So &u.f is not some magic special pointer, it's the address of a float. So is (float *)&u. The example in the standard I think you're referring to relates to a special guarantee made about unions of structs that have a common initial sequence, that their common initial sequence can be read from either union member (AFAIK a guarantee not otherwise made about structs that share a common initial sequence).

If your func(&u.i &u.f) example fails it may be because the standard is picky about pointers of different types to the same memory. I have no idea whether it is, because I've never had to do anything like your example.

I don't know a solution to do the chat really serverless.
One option would be to use ethereums whisper, so we can use all eth-nodes to handle the webrtc-connection. This would not be 'really' serverless but at least surely work for a long time.

It feels to me that a period as short as that would prevent you from learning a whole bunch of interesting things.

Technical lessons about design, architecture, and infrastructure choices one has made, how they cope with scale, subtle mis-steps, etc. Interpersonal lessons about how people develop and communicate. Lessons about why some approaches work and don't work organisationally.
I don't think you have to be an experienced essayist or something. If you can read HN and make comments I think you've probably met the bar. I've worked with people who really struggle to convey or understand technical discussions in text, such that I usually had to talk with them face to face to communicate anything non trivial.

Oh nothing stops you from having toy stuff around! I have a lot of stuff like that, but you don't spend 6 months on it, you spend an afternoon here and there on it..

Sometime it's worth 'gambling' too -- for example in 2012 I went all 3d-printer-y, learned everything firmware, hardware, design tools etc -- my justification was a bit 'thin' as in "perhaps it's the new 'micro computer' generation and I'd better be on it" -- 9 months later I decided it wasn't, and dropped it mostly.

Then 2 years later I landed a HUGE paying job completely related to that tech, completely out of the blue, and that more than repaid the time I spent on it.
Linus has answered that question about the way he communicates.

His idea is that he wants to make his feelings as clear as possible.
He mentioned a case where some guy attempted suicide after working months on a kernel patch that he rejected. He blames himself for not being clear enough about what he felt about the idea before work has started.

When you say "People put time and energy in making software better, at least in their own eyes, for others and then they get textually abused". That's actually the whole point. Linus doesn't want you to put time and energy in what he perceives as a lost cause.

Not saying that what he does is good or bad, just saying what I think his rationale for using harsh language is.

It's not that easy to solve in general. Usually these artifacts are built by CI so it'd have to sign them too (if they are not reproducible the you can't build them locally and check if they are the same). So a person that has admin access in CI can do that too.

Of course current design leaves much to be desired.

Swearing in general doesn't damage morale, but swearing at and verbally abusing someone does very much so. That's exactly the kind of treatment that would lead me, if I were a developer, to walk away from the project.

In fact, here's an edit which gets his point over in less words, and more clearly:

"Honestly, this looks questionable to me. [U]sing a union to do type punning is the traditional AND STANDARD way to do type punning in gcc. In fact, it is the documented way to do it for gcc. The fact is that gcc documents type punning through unions as the "right way". You may disagree with that, but using the [C] standard to push it - the same standard that came up with the completely mis-guided aliasing rules - is not a valid argument. his is why we use -fwrapv, -fno-strict-aliasing etc. The standard simply is not important, when it is in direct conflict with reality and reliable code generation.

So what's the _real_ reason for avoiding union aliasing?"

No swearing, no abuse, all points covered, less typing required. No talk of splinters.

Interesting, but there are a few things you need to know:

1) in federal court there is no right to a hearing on a particular motion. Because federal courts are, stastically at least, criminal drug courts and criminal cases are heard first, civil cases go to the back of the line. But there is no guarantee at all of a hearing on a criminal motion, either.

2) "Relevancy" is in the eye of the beholder. A lawyer may leave a case out because he has a different view of the facts.

3) "Precedent" means that portions of cases get repeated in other cases. In the old days, say, pre-1975, it was easy to miss cases because case law, though computerized, was not widely available in electronic format.

4) Time and money are issues. Many lawyers are sole practitioners. Federal judges have full-time clerks and free access to electronic caselaw. That is certainly not the case for all lawyers. I personally know of situations where a judge has ordered at 7:00 pm that a matter be briefed for 8:00 am the next day. With these kind of time constraints, it's not surprising that some caselaw is missed.

5) None of this is "shocking." On the other hand, if you work in a restaurant, you know what goes on in the kitchen.

That's a hell of a good work, and that shows they deeply cared about the result.

I recall a line from "The 5th Element" movie:

- Are you classified as human ?

- Negative, I'm a meat popsicle

Well, not only Bruce Willis has a killer french voice actor, but they translated it to:

- Êtes-vous classifié comme humain ?

- Négatif, je suis un mite en pull-over

"Négatif, je suis un mite en pull-over" means "Negative, I'm a moth in a sweater". Which is nowhere close to the original, but equally funny and nonsensical, and matches the lips movement perfectly.

Now I just resolved myself to go to see a non french movie at the theater only if it's the original version. Dubbing became so bad, it's like they use the same 10 voice actors for all the movies, and the writers are bored junior interns.

In the very limited definition of war that is taking territory from another country (which that country then looses), and where the deaths of soldiers and destruction of property can be discounted, war can be considered zero-sum. But obviously that was never true, and the regimes that pretended is was true don't really exist in the west anymore since around WWI -- war (in this "classic" sense) is massively negative-sum.

Having a military as a means to fight wars could then also be understood as negative-sum -- but having a military as a means to not fight a war (deterrence) can be considered positive-sum. It certainly ain't zero-sum.

Graeber seems to have a rather naive view of "goons". Yes, it would be nice if there was no need for military (or police, or security guards etc), and you can imagine a world where this is the case, and that world is certainly massively desirable. But until we do bring about that world, "goons" do serve a practical purpose.
