I agree.

I spent some time last year running various scripts to get an NVIDIA GPU working over thunderbolt in windows on a macbook pro. The problem is the DSDT table in many macbooks doesn't allocate enough space for pci-e devices. The NVIDIA driver in windows tries to allocate memory via that table to talk to the eGPU and it fails.

For some reason it works fine under MacOS - either macos ignores the DSDT table completely, or it allocates memory a bit differently than windows. In any case, the answer is to use obscure tools to download and patch the DSDT tables to allocate more RAM toward PCI-e. Doing this through UEFI feels very magic.

I don't know why so much of this stuff is up to the hardware vendor. Maybe there's a good reason, but I would expect the windows memory manager could do a much better job if it didn't have a bunch of memory range sizes hardcoded by apple.

Absolutely, and unless you're riding a roller coaster, you can always grow your team with demand. When your operation has grown enough, you can shift from consultants to employees to save money and get the knowledge into the company, you don't have to start with a team of three to manage one server.
A Curious Perl Quine
I like Icecat (annoyingly not in the Debian repos).

I've also started to make use of text browsers. Links and Links2 are two that I use. Links2 is a nice halfway option as it will support images too.

I find them great for websites where I want to read info, but the interface is ironically designed to make that harder than it should be. News sites are a perfect example. Text browsers turn them from bloated billboards back into a readable format.

What is Amazon Product Photography and how to do it properly?
The Bay Area’s environmentalists have decided to put the mountains off limit to development. Here’s one map: (https://www.greenbelt.org/uncategorized/bay-area-policy-prot...). Randal O’Toole claims that urban growth boundaries are a major cause of the housing crisis in his book American Nightmare (https://www.amazon.com/American-Nightmare-Government-Undermi...), and Issi Romem corroborates this thesis (https://www.buildzoom.com/blog/cities-expansion-slowing is currently in a 301 redirect loop; see archive https://web.archive.org/web/20181207215721/https://www.build...).

I think the question of whether a prosperous region can have both urban growth boundaries and affordable housing is an open question. The Bay Area has not set a good example in this manner; we listen to environmentalists when it’s time to put walls around the region but we don’t listen to them when they call for greater infill development (to their credit, the Greenbelt Alliance has a subsidiary called the SF Housing Action Coalition that promotes infill development, but in SF politics they are often written off as developer shills).

I think this article is an instance of a more general observation: most programmers should spend more time understand the needs of the business and users, rather than learning new technologies. The examples given were large companies solving their business problems rather than developing technology for its own sake.

Or to put it another way, form follows function.
At this point you can figure out if a technology to reduce atmospheric carbon level will be effective or not by looking if oil companies are investing in it.

While I think you could've been a lot more constructive with this comment, you're right—it's clear the author is new to the practice.

Edit: upon actually reading the whole article, I gotta say, this is exceptionally low-quality stuff by HN's standards.

That video clearly showed disgusting and murderous behavior of US armed forces. They opened fire on and killed a passing motorist who stopped to help a wounded individual. Are you aware that that is what happens in the video?

Shocking facts that was kept a secret
I'll give you one example. France has recently made it illegal to do paternity testing. Someone clearly understands that without all the lies their population of single mothers would skyrocket.
The description is spot on and not condescending.

There are many veterans out there who will tell anyone that they just don’t know what to do once they leave the forces. They need to have their entire weekly schedule planned out and someone to help them with that planning. Many ex-cons have the same problem, and you’ll find a similar issue with 18 year olds who are fresh out of school and pushed out their parents’s home.

This phenomenon, institutionalization, is a very real issue. For guys who have their whole life planned out daily for them and superiors to assist them with finding housing and dealing with medical care, having a load of freedom tossed at them when they’re over 40 is overwhelming. They’re not dumb. It’s just that humans have trouble adapting as we get older.

A considerable number of veteran support networks and veteran-oriented jobs exist to help people adapt to retiring during middle age.

But these services do break, and when they do break, often times you don't even get a useful error or log file to grep. Sometimes I just really wish I could SSH into a box to figure out what the hell is going on.

You're gaining an expertise, but instead of it being with the underlying technology, it's with the management services for that technology. I think the premise of your argument is correct that understanding these services is simpler than the technology itself, but I seem to inevitably find myself in some edge use case of the service that is poorly documented or does not work as described, and trolling stack overflow or AWS developer forums is the only solution other than trial and (no) error.

Let me tell you: it's not fun when you're entrenched into a proprietary service that is now outdated and kept only for legacy reasons, and the version you are on doesn't allow you to do things like update your programming language to a more recent version. Now you get to move to another managed service and lose all that expert knowledge you had with the old one.

Granted, but there's much more than a binary (use/ban) discussion to be had here. It's important that we have open discourse about the design, manufacture, deployment, and general use of such things in order to avoid dangerous or highly objectionable outcomes.

You can develop all your code in a fully specified environment, which makes it much easier to reproduce and deploy models and analysis.
You can (after enabling security) move your IDE to the data. Instead of transferring data back and forth you can develop where your data is stored.

Last - and most important for me - in industries like my own (healthcare), you work with highly regulated data that has to be stored securely, where having multiple copies of data on multiple laptops can pose an unacceptably large risk.

Running containers like this within a secure environment with access to the data helps us to have an ideal development environment, while ensuring the protected data remains in a secure, single location with no unnecessary duplication.

Article says right there, whereas you haven't explained why this would be a bad usecase? maybe it's wasteful but if a person wants additional security via ephemerality then it seems fine

The pass-through from your regular VGA was just connected to a relay that was switched to the Voodoo's video DAC when in use, and pass-through otherwise.

They avoid making actionable statements. In this case, the CEO did not explicitly assign blame, so it would be difficult to call them a liar. Omitting is different from lying. Using vague terminology isn't lying. So you get stuck with all this corporate talk, where they act as if they're apologizing, but won't even really say what they are specifically apologizing for.

I would consider IceCat, but it looks like development has fallen behind Firefox considerably.

I mean no offense by this but I consider myself a privacy wonk and that website is a bit too tin foil hat even for me.

I think we're in a bad way as far as choices go for browsers these days, but Firefox seems like the best of a bad situation to me. If people are still concerned, they should take a look at the changes made to Firefox for the Tor browser.

I imagine not everybody is going to want to run this on some Kubernetes cluster. The ability to do this locally seems that it could be really productive, actually. And having it in Docker can provide snapshotting via `docker commit` as well as the ability to cap its cpu/ram resources.

I might actually try this and a Docker registry to get some semblance of an editor per project. In some contexts I want to run many, many extensions,but for other work I'd rather not have that bloat to contend with. Also I've been really feeling the pain of navigating a PC running Unraid (lots of bare metal VMs) and a Mac laptop, trying to do development on each. My desktop is beefy, but I need to work on the go sometimes, and at times I need to use a Windows box. Right now they all have different VSCode setups. I've been meaning to get around to setting up some scheme of making my config portable, but with different paths across Ubuntu, MacOS, and Windows that seems a bit daunting to get all of my dep paths straight, like eslint and phpcs.

Okay, enough comment writing, I'm giving this a go.

The idea was poorly conceived to begin with.

This is extremely disappointing. I make a growing proportion of my income via online Python and Git courses. The platform I use (Podia) supports PayPal and Stripe. I'd love to use Stripe, but they don't work with businesses outside of the US and a handful of other countries. So I'm stuck using PayPal, which many of my customers dislike, but I don't have much choice.

Truth be told, I haven't personally had any issues with PayPal to date. It all works pretty smoothly, and their fees are part of the cost of doing business. But sticking me with the fees, even when people cancel, is very upsetting. Not that many people cancel -- but when they do, I'm happy to do it, as part of giving good customer service.

I guess that I'll eat the fees, even then, so as not to seem like a jerk. But it does make me, at least a little bit, want to rethink my "100% money-back guarantee" policy.

If you’re going to live permanently as an un-paying guest in someone else’s building (in this case, the Ecuadorian embassy in London), it’s not a smart idea to be such “a slob” that your hosts are just waiting for an excuse to get rid of you and stop dealing with your bullshit.

Similarly, if you are a miserable guest when staying temporarily at a string of friends’ houses, you won’t keep having friends for very long.
That is what it looks like. In some sense, you are not “contrlling” a 737MAX, you are flying a virtual machine emulating the 737 previous gen, whose host is a new generation.

Quite the feat, Boeing.

The scenario I often have is a group of sysadmins and you all need access to a vendor's page.

I get that you're rightfully upset at Boeing for trying to skip the proper regulatory testing processes. I am too. But you are not meaningfully contesting my point, that a fixed 737 MAX is a safer aircraft to be flying in.

What would you suggest? Mothballing the MAX line for a wholly new aircraft? Arguably the MAX has significant flight testing time in production, to which one defect was found and is being remedied. A new aircraft would have less testing comparatively, and as noted, older aircraft really aren't inherently safer, as the 737's history shows.

My point was that the MAX will likely be the safest choice to fly in, and I don't think you offered up any logical argument saying otherwise.
