Thus speculation haha. Especially if you can pass laws in your favor or the like I think this is the train of thought most of them have. If it didn't bring some kind of profit why would they do it? The only reason to not rent it out is if they think they will make more profit by holding out. The alternative is that they just hate their own money and want to burn it so that's how I come to this conclusion. By process of elimination.

Well it depends on where you are. Some places have different laws no idea about Dublin but some places protect renters from having the price spike up too quickly and have fixed rates once a contract is signed.

Edit: I of course have a subjective opinion on this from my point of view and where I am from the laws are heavily in favor of tenants so it is next to impossible to throw people out or hike up the price once an apartment is rented out.
I don't think the suggestion for Kubernetes in IoT is to run it on the Things, but for small local servers running services that work with the devices, instead of pushing all that in the cloud.
The first MVP of the web has been done gathering all the recommendations from friends we have from different countries, sadly we don't have friends from Japan 🇯🇵 or South Africa 🇿🇦 yet. However now we are open to external contributors, so we would be super glad to add these countries, Japan is a top request!!

The key point is, we want to have real locals advices, so we don't want to just quickly google some foods and put them there ourselves. We want to assure the recommendations are authentic!

Are you talking about Go, the language this is written in?

Go's concurrency features are formally specified, are not ad-hoc (they are a major feature of the language, and the product of multiple language design iterations) and are certainly not bug-ridden.

Or are you talking about using Kubernetes to manage workloads on machines?

How does Erlang solve running my python webapp or my SQL database on my ec2 nodes, or in the case of this project, on an IoT device.
The article totally ignores the progress in the rest of the world. For example Russia, that also developed world first nuclear plant ever, is about to build a closed fuel cycle reactor: “The launch of the experimental BREST-OD-300 reactor in Seversk (Tomsk Region), which will operate on the new mixed nitride uranium-plutonium fuel, will be held in 2026.”

I rarely see ads on my phone, except from some game apps that I guess use networks not yet on the blacklist, but I'm not bothered by those, I usually play games I can fully own / pay to remove ads.

I watched his recent meetup presentation on YouTube last week - really a fun looking project. If I were into hardware, at all, I would probably buy one.

Not too unrelated: I have an unused HP Stream 11 and I have had good intentions of having Mezzano boot directly in it. So far, I just have run Mezzano (Common Lisp directly on hardware) with VirtualBox.
This is part the whole point of ripgrep. If you don't want it to do smart filtering, then you either alias `rg="rg -uu"` or just use grep if it's fast enough for you.

Some people might miss this, yes. That's why it's mentioned in the first couple sentences of the man page.

If normal home Windows users are expected to edit the registry these days to manage basic settings the "Linux is too complicated for home users" argument seems to no longer be valid.
If it's around 1/10, it must be over a long period of time. There have certainly been periods where I've returned _way_ more than that, including things like 'These headphones I bought a year ago have broke, this hard drive I bought 6 months ago has stopped working, AND I'd like to return this expensive item I've just bought, and the only other things I've bought recently are £5-10 books'.

I suspect it's more likely to be done on total purchase _price_ - I spend a fair amount of money on things that are very difficult to counterfeit (video games), so they are obviously never returned, which probably tips the balance back in my favour (the fact that I'm in the EU, and have a statutory right to return (for any reason) may also be a factor).

The group policy editor does not exist in the Home edition, but all the group policy editor does is modify the registry, so you can just make the registry modifications yourself using the registry editor which exists in all editions.

Using the policy editor is supported, while editing the registry is not, I'm afraid.
No, that requires Pro.
Here's where a management that aims for diversity of plants comes in handy. If care is taken to plant the correct proportion of nitrogen-fixing plants, and other plants (such as comfrey) that will grow really deep roots to extract trace minerals, the nutrient density can be increased. There are techniques to increase the soil fertility with the correct selection of plants. There is a design science, permaculture, that takes all these factors into account.

And nobody has suggested to use it on such tiny devices. "Embedded" spanning a large range of devices isn't new. 20 years ago, mainboards for high-end x86 CPUs of the day that were made to be put into industrial devices were already called "embedded". Because they're embedded into machines etc.

If you mean tiny devices, why not say "microcontroller" or something?
Dunno. I've know several business owners that didn't take credit cards until recently, and even then only did so because the newer companies have significantly lowered the investment cost. Maybe you don't consider small family owned restaurants "real".

Seems like there's an opportunity for a cheap 3 node cluster, sold as a value add to businesses and supported a platform that application writers could target. They might well come with a support contract, some basic functionality, and then users could pay for inventory, staff scheduling, point of sales terminal support, integration with food delivery services, etc.

Much like how some home/small business NASs these days have support for 100s of integrations to various online services.

There is the notion of "opiniated software" which I am a fan of. Seems to that I probably would be quite happy with GNOME if I would be a Linux user.

More to the point though, doesn't a complain such as you stated imply that the complaining party is aware of high configuratibility as an expected standard?

I suppose it does make some sense if we are talking about 'dirty' money trying to safeguard their wealth from some form of confiscation. So they don't care about the price tag, they just want to safeguard as much of their wealth in a jurisdiction with strong property rights. They are happy if they don't lose more than 90%.

Still, it seems very irrational and thus unsustainable.
Programming, BASIC in particular, was pushed very hard in the 80s and 90s because it was viewed as the next common household skill. After numerous advances in UX, it sort of returned to its professional exclusivity.

The Other Wrapping the Earth Problem
Ask HN: SRE Manager at Google. Initial Pre Screen Interview
I am going to have an initial pre screen interview for a Manager SRE role at Google.
It seems that this initial interview will be semi-automatic or based on a set of predefined multiple choice questions on technical matters. I already interviewed in the past with Google and this step is not only new to me but it also scares me a little bit because the interviewer is an HR person and doesn't have any technical background. All previous technical screening I had with them were with engineers. What should I expect now?

I never had a 2.1 machine, so I was mistaken there. Thanks for correcting that.

To the point, I think the way the Amiga let a third party provide a localization file was easier than in todays OS more end user friendly. It was open and standardized across the OS. Not every app was cooking it's own format.
But the whale analogy doesn’t hold because we still have the cancer and some of the tumors are quite large (Google).
- It frees you from writing the wrapper (duh)

- It probably have more niceties than a 5min wrapper (color, friendly defaults, etc.)

I've personally used a homemade find wrapper for years, but have now replaced it with `fd` (another find reimplementation). The advantages isn't huge, but I find the niceties I never bothered implementing - well - nice :)

That being said: I did get burned by the default behavior of ignoring hidden files :D

Would've been nice if it by default didn't show hidden matches, but printed on stderr - something like:

$ fd thing
foo/something
...
>searching hidden files - ^C to abort<
>hidden files found (29) - use `--hidden` to show<
Are you saying this because the page mentions IoT, or what brought this on? To me, the page doesn't suggest that they want it to be used on many embedded devices...
> but in the last few years reddit has become corporately dominated

This is always the way: once something has a large enough audience it will become a target for exploitation. This is why ad networks are juicy targets for hacks (wide spread of potential victims) and popular sites, or specific areas on those sites, like reddit can quickly become overrun by shills.

Yeah I would love to see a modern Fluxbox. My only issue with Fluxbox on Ubuntu and similar is other DE's seem to have better visual support for wireless. I have no way of connecting to the internet if I can't even see the Wi-Fi icon anywhere. I don't want to have to install components from another DE. Also they seem to mostly be abandoned. I have the same issue with tiling WM's. I don't want to have to configure my DE / VM it should just work, what I should configure is preferential settings not functional settings.

Ah, interesting! Cool. Thanks.
You are showing signs of paranoia.

In my comment there is no assumption on nationality. I am just comparing and contrasting.

I got my information regarding how many young black men are in jail from black Americans and one white American lady. I think you need to take up the challenge of citing a source of some Chinese 'communist' ranting on about the US black prison population. From my knowledge of the world these Chinese folk have been rather too quiet about the injustices of the US 'justice system' and I wish they were demanding something was done. Please prove me wrong that they are not as mute as I believe them to be.

Regarding your paranoia, I am a citizen of planet earth and definitely not Chinese in any way. I am too vegetarian and too English speaking to want to spend time in China's remote provinces. I am old enough to understand that nothing said by Western politicians is likely to be true. Not being easily duped and gullible does not make me some person that has been brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party or a 'govt mouthpiece'.

You must appreciate that there are people in the West that study history more than you do and that opinions that differ to your own are not the result of 'communist brainwashing'.

Rather than bust blood vessels writing missives about the lack of due process in China, chill out and spend some time reading about the history of the law in China. I think you will find the history quite fascinating.

I was discussing with a friend on solutions on how to make your PC being 'never idle'. As he told me, if the PC is never idle, then Win10 won't enforce any updates/reboots.

I do not know how true is that, but when I suggested he use MouseJiggler [1] he thanked me and told me 'it worked'. It is a stand-alone/portable .exe that 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. I use it to keep away screensavers/screenlocks (on machines I don't 100% control).

[1]: https://mouse-jiggler.en.uptodown.com/windows

Edit: I keep away from W10 so I don't know to what extend this would help. I assume it would delay unwanted reboots, but I don't know the W10 update-forcing mechanism, and on the diagram depicted on the article I don't see any 'idling' criteria.
I would guess that the moderate relates to the wavelengths that the spectrometer measures, and not image resolution.

As far as I can tell the default blocking method in current builds is NXDOMAIN. You can read the details directly from the PiHole official page [0]. Short version, it just returns a no such domain.

More info on blocking modes [1]. This says the default (and recommended) blocking mode is NULL but it wasn't the case when I recently did my last install. Not sure if it was something with my build or maybe the docs need to be updated.

You will find that failing to access the resource on the other side will make many clients try and try again. On my PiHole I see Philips Hue, Microsoft, or Sonos with tens of thousands of retries triggered by previous failures to contact their destinations.

I'm off windows for good. Automatic updates which reboot my machine and cause the occasional breakage are one thing. There's also just too many UI/UX WTFs (two control panels with completely different interfaces, that fing ribbon in office, etc).

Ask HN: What industries are worth specializing in as a developer?
What industries would you recommend to programmers who want to combine domain expertise with software skills? I'm not the best programmer, nor the best domain expert, but I've gotten some great results from combining these two. I've also learned that there are large differences between industries; in how much room and motivation for innovation there is, in how much they value software, how much corruption and politics you'll encounter, and so on.

Are you in an industry where you wish you had more motivated developers? Are there some industries where new or better software would have positive societal impact? Do you have bad experiences from some industries?
I am not talking about Go. I dont care what your language is, the true underlying reasoning for your engineering choices is independent of language. It just so happens that these problems have been around for ~30 years, and there has been significant progress in developing tooling to face them, in the domains that the BEAM languages sphere of influence. Just like how Ecto, despite being a great tool, does not free us of knowing about Relational Databases. If you approach the tooling infependently though, as a true knowledge expert does, you will see the progress made by other giants in these fields who are not afraid of specialised tools.
I think it's cool. Useless, but cool :)

I try never leave anything unsaved that I might care about. Past problems have hammered that lesson home. I don't trust anything with unsaved information. Any OS. But Windows in particular - in the past because of instability, more recently due to it being designed to reboot without permission or adequate warning sometimes three times in a month.

It isn't just unsaved content though: you lose other context too. Browser windows spread over different desktops, open windows with things selected or scrolled into view, open apps that don't restart, ... Also, any long-running processes are fair game to be killed, as of course are connections to external resources which might respond in an unhelpful manner.

Jokes aside this is pretty neat. I feel like the concept of the favicon should be re-evaluated to consider the common use cases of today.
This is neat, but it misses the mark by quite a bit. In no particular order:

(1) I don't want randomly chosen dishes. I want meals where the side dishes compliment the main

(2) I want something more curated and well thought out. Some variety throughout the week and dishes that are less perishable. Like I want to make a fish dish as soon as I get the fish but a pasta dish can wait 3-4 days after my order.

(3) The filter choices are odd. I can't say "chicken and fish only" but I can do mediterranean? And I question how much "Cheesy Chicken and Spinach" and "Buttered toast" are mediterranean.

(4) The recipe filter is broken too. I tried to filter for main dishes and my first two choices are "Rice cake with Strawberry Ricotta and Honey" and "Grilled Peaches with Honey"
What are "these problems"?
This is really, really cool: using a single construction to provide … everything. It does feel a bit like putting all of one's eggs in one basket, but I guess as long as it's one really great basket that's okay.

It makes sense, too, given the assumptions we make about security of PRFs: if a PRF is secure enough to generate keys with PRF(state || 001), PRF(state || 002), … then intuitively (which isn't a proof!) everything else follows.

All in all, a really neat result!

> Disco is the natural merge of the two projects

I've gotten used to seeing the verb 'ask' used as a noun instead of 'request,' and just within the last week saw the verb 'solve' used as a noun instead of 'solution'; this is the first time I've seen the verb 'merge' used instead of the noun 'merger' in this context (although I'm familiar with it from version control).
