> I do find it funny that people crap all over systemd, but don't seem to have a huge problem with launchd

Because I've never been forced to use launchd. Well, you could say that I've never been forced to use systemd either but that's kinda how it feels when distros swap it out for you and things start depending on it.

Guess what? I'd be furious if the distros I use forced me onto launchd all of a sudden.
It makes sense for the government to have a specialized agency to run these services and even manage the contracting if it is necessary. Have experts hire specialists etc...

It's a stupid position to take - watch luke smith's video on it for a neutral point of view.

I made a tutorial for something like this recently which you can use the Pocket extension with (https://www.makerpad.co/make/newsletter-generator-chrome-ext...) and the newsletter tutorial is here (https://www.makerpad.co/pro/automated-weekly-hourly-email-di...) but it's paywalled.

But you just set up zapier to link new bookmarks to airtable, then use the digest zapier trigger to weekly/daily send a list of all the new links sent to airtable via gmail or the zapier email action.

You can also link this with Mailchimp for a bigger newsletter too (which is in the paywalled tutorial)
PLA (the most common hobbyist plastic used) isn't all that good for functional stuff. It's extremely easy to print with, which is why it's used most commonly, but as you said it has a small temperature range where it's usable, it breaks down quickly under UV radiation, it gets pretty brittle, and it doesn't hold it's shape over repeated stress.

I don't think it would "crack instantly" or melt in space right away, but it wouldn't work long term at all.

But if you just go outside of that most basic plastic, there are tons of other options. Printing with PETG is just as simple in many cases, but it can withstand higher temperatures and is pretty easy to make watertight seals with.

ABS is a great plastic that is also easy to print with once you learn the quirks. It is used a lot in automotive stuff since it's fairly resistant to a lot of temperatures and is pretty hard.

Polycarbonate (PC) is also a great plastic to print with if you need it to withstand a lot of work and different temperatures.

All of those can be printed on hobbyist machines, and I have all of them in the room next to me. And both PLA and ABS have been used on the space station and tools that the ISS 3d printer has printed have been used in space walks!

It's pretty exciting stuff, and while what NASA is using is obviously more advanced than a $300 3d printer you can get online today, it's still using a lot of the same stuff and is pretty close to what you or I could print in our house if we wanted to.
Don’t forget Taiwan and Korea.
The linked report is from 2005. They are no longer making this blanket recommendation.

As another commenter points out, that's about the cholesterol contained in one egg, and less than the amount of cholesterol in a typical portion of meat. It just doesn't make sense that our body would have so many issues handling something that's been so prevalent in our diet for millions of years, and that we're well-adapted to consume. We're omnivores, not herbivores, and animal products contain cholesterol. We can handle eating it.

"Extrapolated" might be a better term than "invented", to be fair to him. His "Proto-Romance" seems to be an attempt to extrapolate an intermediate between Vulgar Latin and the early Romance languages after they had differenciated into Old French, Old Spanish, Old Portuguese, &c.

"Proto-Romance" is a real term, but it's typically used to refer to Vulgar Latin.

>A year later, guess what? I couldn't remember jack-shit. Moreover, I couldn't solve problems, which is basically the reason I was learning math anyway. Any bystander could have predicted this outcome, but I was blinded by my own entitlement.

I'm a third year university student; I did all the exercises set last year to do well in the exam and over the course of the whole year. And now, only one year later, I can't remember how to do some of the most fundamental problems. I can remember the derivative and integral of trig functions, but the method of doing even moderately challenging exercises with them I don't remember well and I'd need to look it up. I don't know what that signifies, but I have the impression that even just doing the exercises doesn't last long unless you use what you have learned semi-regularly at the least.
I don't know what you're talking about. Oracle has recently, for the first time ever, open sourced the entire JDK. It is 100% open source. No one is threatened, and the license is the same one as that used by Linux.

Just to be clear: Java is a standard; OpenJDK is the name of Oracle's implementation of the Java standard.

That the JDK is for developers who then build their own custom runtimes using the JDK tools is a result of shifts in software distribution -- on the desktop, the shift to app stores, and on the server, the shift to containers -- that made the "desktop JRE" irrelevant (and unpopular). But if you prefer that old model, the JDK contains all you need to create such a runtime easily.
An easter egg: the result page showed by Google for "askew" is slightly tilted to the right. In other words, it's askew...
The US number is only counting businesses with at least one employee (owners are not employees, even if they work day-to-day), and may only be counting businesses that incorporate, or are formed via articles of organization. The source is unclear. As someone else noted, the UK number also leaves out certain types of businesses. Therefore, I can't tell that this is actually comparing apples to apples.
Despite the title, it doesn't appear he'll be waiting for a complete rewrite. The article discusses replacing a number of subsystems. I'd be surprised if one could pull it off simultaneously. Much more likely they will be tackled sequentially.

This is similiar to refactoring, just at a larger scale.
>Call it something else and get the environmentalists and progressives on board.

You think so? Because I would think they would see through the attempt if tried. And it would simply lead to conspiracy theories of big-nuclear trying to put lipstick on a pig - in the same way that 'clean coal' branding didn't really get any environmentalists/progressives on board for coal power.
Every time an article about Go is posted to HN, I feel optimistic that people have finally given up making the same bad joke about a thirty years obsolete protocol that happens to share a similar name. Then I click on the comments :(

yeah I do it with pocket (mentioned in another comment) - makes it super simple!
None of the above changes the discussion. It's a very elaborate way of saying "writing correct software is hard". You know what's also hard to do correctly? Designing airplanes. Building skyscrapers. It's not that their designs are made flawless, it's that (in theory) the sheer volume of man-hours spent pouring over every minute detail of them, incorporating lessons learned from every failure that's ever happened in the field, amount to a very very high success rate.

In software the mentality is that tests, or formal specs, or even thoughtful design, are luxuries. That it's better to just hire someone who can make the computer do things than spend twice as much on someone who can write "good" code and take twice as long to do so (whatever "good" means, because we have no standard). Of course for "the Uber for X" those standards may be fine. But for autonomous vehicles, or credit bureaus, or the nascent private space industry, they are absolutely not.
Help stopping that currently wide spread nuclear hype and escort this technology to it's final retirement.
Hey, thanks for that reference. You're right, but the 300x potency of N2O vs CO2 and the sheer unknowns lurking in our understanding of the "earthworm problem" still make this worth investigation, in my opinion.

Additionally, at the risk of being pedantic and because I'm a stuck-up academic, I want to point out that your reference is studying a temperate forest. This is relevant not only because species composition and climatic regimes present in temperate forests (decidious trees, high species diversity, high nutrient availabilty, moderate climates) differ markedly from those of boreal forests (coniferous trees, low species diversity, low nutrient availability, extreme climatic seasonality). There's good reason to believe that this difference has a corresponding shift in the GHG emission regimes of the respective forestlands, which you can see here [0]. Additionally, boreal forests are the earth's largest terrestrial ecosystem [1], which makes this potential difference quite relevant.

Your point is well taken, though -- it's important to triage effort in facing a complicated global challenge.

I am not sure more science can be an issue, it is still a ridiculous small amount of money compared to defence, debt servicing, etc.

Who knows, someone might find a negative feedback loop for climate change that we could leverage, even in something as improbable as mycology ?

(Likely increasing defence budget is also another way to mitigate climate change if we don't do it in a more civilized way...)
Yeah, but I've never made a lasting friendship in one.
I would just laugh at Elon's crazy proclamations, but there are plenty of people buying Teslas who believe them. At this point, Musk's claims verge on the fraudulent. Fully autonomous driving is never coming to current Teslas, sorry folks.

As for the frequent OTA software updates, I wouldn't consider that a feature. While it's true that at this point software is a critical piece of the puzzle and automakers who haven't woken up to the idea that owning your software is as important as any other aspect of the design may eventually be left behind. But I don't think Tesla offers a good model to emulate.

As for JLG's specific points, providing a single, centralized method of updating automobile software over the Internet--or even a specialized wireless connection--should be seen as a security risk, not a powerful feature. Most critical systems in cars should be isolated from each other and from the Internet entirely. Updates should not be haphazardly distributed, but should be carefully tested and rolled out as rarely as possible and in a controlled manner.

I have no hope that car companies will actually heed advice like this. But it's disappointing to see tech veterans buy into the delusion that the equivalent of Windows Update, but for your car, would be a good idea.
That would mean that places where nearly everyone has safety nets (countries with welfare) would have a higher amount of entrepreneurship. That is not the case.

Entrepreneurship seems to strive in harsh do or die conditions like in US or Israel.
That's what I keep doing...
Seal it in a lead box, and I'll put it in my basement, sure. I've already got radon leaching out of the bedrock, and a big bunch of bananas in my kitchen. I think I'm already picking up more rads from that, not to mention all the chest X-rays I had to do on a regular basis for a few years.
Somewhat related, for bzip2, I use pbzip2 which uses all the cores, or as many as you specify. [1] It is in the EPEL repo for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.

I _think_ he's saying he learned them, just not at university, or in spite of his time at university...
D-Bus, as discussed elsewhere in this thread (where I learned about this, too), is a specification rather than a concrete implementation. Are you asserting that systemd does not work with alternative D-Bus implmentations? That would be weird, seeing as how they wrote an alternative one...

Also, since I've been "reading more", and I can check after I get back from lunch--at least at some point Debian shipped systemd without D-Bus on minimal installs. Maybe that's no longer the case, but the stuff I'm reading seems to be post-2015.
I would say the difference is that Chinese political leaders are very concerned with improving their country while lining their own pockets, while American politicians are mostly concerned with lining their own pockets. Sure, they say all the right words to inspire people and get re-elected, but it's 90% about the $$$ for them personally.
Nicely said. It is an irrational economic decision for a non-rich to begin a startup. Even if memes could change their decision it would make matters worse for them, not better.
You have the download at github and the checksum at you webserver. Same effort, but now attackers would have to have both services compromised to plant a malicious download.
Still our. I work for a uni. We have five server rooms on display for people to come gawk at. The two important data centers are locked away, but these five don't really contain any data which require hiding so we have them on display.

Freshmen and visitors are always impressed.
I'm willing to believe you (and I am already doing this!) but can you show me where any climate scientists advocate for consumers to take this kind of action? And model out how supply of these high-carbon-output food sources will be affected by this depending on how many consumers take action? If you don't have the time or interest that's totally fine, but I'm trying to make the point that it's really confusing for me as a consumer to understand what to do about climate change. I really wish the IPCC or other climate groups would get together with a list of actions for regular people, along with the predicted effects of those actions.
I like change! I switched to runit and are not looking back.
Slightly click bait title. "It's the travel and hospitality industry."
It's not helpful advice. The post above attacks the author's writing credibility due solely to its emotional tenor. That's essentially an ad hominem.
These are good points.

By "suffering" I just meant "paying (someone, maybe another ride service) for it".

If higher prices depress volume, then some of the very drivers temporarily striking to raise the price end up paying for it, by ending up without a client. If all the drivers gain from it, then the airport demand for their Lyft services in particular (as opposed to demand for other ride companies) would in fact appear to be pretty inelastic. (Both seem plausible to me.)

>Can we so lightly dismiss battery storage?

We can because there is no battery storage technology today, nor is one upcoming, that would work on city scale (i.e. store enough energy to power a city and industry outside of ideal wind/solar times). For example, the Tesla-style deployments are only there to even out supply on the order of milliseconds and maybe seconds. That's still something, and does replace natural gas in those specific use-cases, but that's not what we need.

Worse, we don't even know of a battery technology that would be able to store power across seasons or years, as Wind and Solar are very seasonally dependent and may vary in output by an order of magnitude between, say, Summer and Winter. Furthermore, for wind deployments, you usually need to sample multiple years to figure out if the site is good enough because wind output can vary across multiple-years.

That's why wind/solar/natural gas is a package deal today and for the foreseeable future.
It has always been the case. Attending IDC in 1999 before a single device had been certified and the hardware standards and certification docs were already 3500 pages. You can only imagine how this has grown in 20 years.
Bluetooth is a "giraffe" technology. It evolved in to the current form through happenstance. Nothing about it is simple or normal, instead randomly weird and inconsistent. And nobody is surprised that after 20 years everyone rightfully assumes that it barely works and is full of holes. However, since the standards are controlled by the people who build the hardware it is not been possible for a functional, non-insane alternative to appear.
One year I made around minimum wage (paying myself just barely enough to live during the early stage of a startup) and paid I think around 25% effective just for federal.

I now make a lot more than that with a W2 job as my primary source of income and my effective federal tax rate was about half of what it was that year.

IMO FICA cap should be raised significantly and the rate should be reduced. There are entry-level FAANG employees who aren't paying their full salary into it. But that's an entirely different topic.
This Old House is great for people interested in DIY or just knowing more about how houses should be built and renovated. Having done a fair amount of that myself, the HGTV shows can be very misleading. There's no sense of the scale of a project when everything finishes within the duration of a one-hour episode and the HGTV budget numbers are completely opaque and questionably realistic. I sometimes wonder if they're including any promotional discounts they receive in those budget numbers since some of them are far below what it would cost me to do a project even in a lost CoL area of the country.
> Does Windows still not have package repositories like Linux distros do? Installing software from anywhere other than official repos should be an obvious no-no if repos simply existed.

Yes, of course. And If you must get the custom software (for example I like the value-added software for my Fujitsu document scanners with sheet-feeders) then the ONLY thing to do is to go to Fujitsu's official site--after making 100% certain it's really the site--and getting it from there.
You don't need a VC for most types of businesses. Especially not at the beginning.

Furthermore, you can get VC meetings or a job at Google with no college. Many have done it. It's increasingly the case that employers care more about what you've done/built than what college you went to - or indeed if you went at all.
Which is better? The iPhone or the Nokia?
I wouldn't describe in such harsh words (although maybe that helps bring the point across?), but overall I agree. Several of the items look like they could be improved completely isolated from the rest (eg. the email issue).

Moving from Wordpress to Laravel means that the basic stack remains the same (PHP). All in all, this looks like something that ought to be possible without a rewrite.

I'd start with building a new front router that calls liberally into wordpress as a backend.
Once wordpress is only managed (and accessible!) by the front router, one by one hack up wordpress to call into Laravel Spark stuff (eg. the user database) instead of using its own infrastructure. The end result would be that there's no wordpress code being used anymore (so drop it), and the site is completely moved over.

But that way every step in between won't be a regression to users, and it's realistic to add the odd emergency feature addition to the platform without having to maintain it twice (in the old platform and the new).
In a high level language, yes, you should probably refactor code that looks like that. In C, no--just write the nested loop that iterates the pointers over the array, and use break or goto.
Well, yes. It will settle at the rate they're actually willing to be paid, not the one their "employer" is setting for them.
Why not slowly decompose the functionality of your software into modules, abstract those behind some kind of abstract interface, and then move those abstracted modules into microservices when the time comes? Just by slowly rebuilding components as you need to touch them you'll be able to maintain some velocity on feature development, be able to incrementally test your changes to the codebase, and actually find the real world logical groupings of functionality (rather than guessing on business domain like most SOAs do).

Full rewrites like this are a pain, high risk, and always take longer than expected (feature creep/deployment/etc)

Voting is a blunt instrument; it's effective, but it's a poor signal. It says only one thing: I want this entity to wield power. If you want to sue someone, you don't become a judge, you bring a lawsuit.

If you want to cause political change, you need to bring something into the public discourse; make it known to the politicians and the electorate. People do this by writing their politicians, getting media attention, organising or joining political action groups, backing candidates, or even going into politics themselves.
"Imagine joining an engineering team...You start by meeting Mary, project leader for a bridge in a major metropolitan area. Mary introduces you to Fred, after you get through the fifteen security checks installed by Dave because Dave had his sweater stolen off his desk once and Never Again. Fred only works with wood, so you ask why he’s involved because this bridge is supposed to allow rush-hour traffic full of cars full of mortal humans to cross a 200-foot drop over rapids. Don’t worry, says Mary, Fred’s going to handle the walkways. What walkways? Well Fred made a good case for walkways and they’re going to add to the bridge’s appeal. Of course, they’ll have to be built without railings, because there’s a strict no railings rule enforced by Phil, who’s not an engineer. Nobody’s sure what Phil does, but it’s definitely full of synergy and has to do with upper management, whom none of the engineers want to deal with so they just let Phil do what he wants. Sara, meanwhile, has found several hemorrhaging-edge paving techniques, and worked them all into the bridge design, so you’ll have to build around each one as the bridge progresses, since each one means different underlying support and safety concerns. Tom and Harry have been working together for years, but have an ongoing feud over whether to use metric or imperial measurements, and it’s become a case of “whoever got to that part of the design first.” This has been such a headache for the people actually screwing things together, they’ve given up and just forced, hammered, or welded their way through the day with whatever parts were handy. Also, the bridge was designed as a suspension bridge, but nobody actually knew how to build a suspension bridge, so they got halfway through it and then just added extra support columns to keep the thing standing, but they left the suspension cables because they’re still sort of holding up parts of the bridge. Nobody knows which parts, but everybody’s pretty sure they’re important parts. After the introductions are made, you are invited to come up with some new ideas, but you don’t have any because you’re a propulsion engineer and don’t know anything about bridges.

Would you drive across this bridge? No. If it somehow got built, everybody involved would be executed. Yet some version of this dynamic wrote every single program you have ever used, banking software, websites, and a ubiquitously used program that was supposed to protect information on the internet but didn’t."
