You made the point.
By that logic, no mistakes can ever be criticized.

I explained, why systemd is a step in the wrong direction in mutiple ways. That has nothing to do with habbits.
> When I want to write a script that runs on startup, I expect that I can just put (or link) it in some directory where the scripts are that get started on startup

This is not very specific, have you never had any race-condition with this? There is a reason SystemD ask some informations regarding the service that needs to be launched. I don't see how ignoring those makes a good argument against SystemD.
Could you explain what you're thinking of? Because I went to check it out and it looks like an aggregator service with a desktop client (which I don't have a use for) and some basic services like search & offline reader integration & a builtin offline reader?
Pointer swizzling tree traversal requires writes to the tree which isn’t possible in this case.
Duh. It was right there.

But thanks; on doing little bit of search on 'speech diarization' saw that Google Cloud has that service.
https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/docs/multiple-voices

And then came across this comparison between various cloud transcription service, which should be helpful for evaluating on diarization aspect as well.

I think that you are missing the point. I was quite happy without systemd. What work has to be picked up really? You are trying to make it sound we could not live without systemd and we must replace the systems. If you want to write a better init system, go for it. Many people tried and succeeded none of them became the standard for linux (partially because there are no standards in linux).

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5877/what-are-the-p...

As I said in other comments, if you want to replace inis scripts with systemd format service descriptors I will support your efforts becuase using shell script is broken. If you in the making of replacing init with something better also replace logging, ntp, dns, dhcp and a bunch of more then I will say no. This is exactly what systemd does. Rewriting rock solid, CPU efficient code with something shaky and CPU intensive. No thanks.

>>> And none of the alternatives seem to really get away from the bash script paradigm.

Factually incorrect. There are many init alternatives that got away from the shell script paradigm. Including SMF in Solaris. https://www.thegeekdiary.com/a-beginners-guide-to-service-ma...
As inconvenient as powering through this bug might be, switching to Chrome to use this site just reinforces their choice. Perhaps emailing them to report the issue might also be beneficial for all?
Judging from the confusion here, one could argue that the "two-pizza team" definition is also vague and meaningless - at least to an international audience.
How would that statistic be accurately calculated?
I generally buy products when I need to than when I want to.

For other products I usually wait 3 months or more for all of the tech reviewers to get in their 2 cents on each product.

Although, waiting for longer periods of time might be more beneficial because then you know more information about the devices long term durability.

I have started to buy used Macs due to a bad experience with buying a Macbook Pro 2017. I think I may have had some processor issues at that time. The other problem was that during repair my laptop was lost for a few weeks. I had other concerns on the long term durability so I sold it for a large loss.

I have a Desktop computer that I use as my "lab" computer. I generally use it for video games but I have also used it to do some freelance work in the past.

I try to avoid version one of any product that I could own also.
Debugging distributed systems using logs
Exactly, disabled apps still take up space. So on a limited space device I just use what's there.

I haven't tried the new version of Edge based on Chromium, but my guess is that it'll be as slow as Chrome. :(
How is netnewswire better than Vienna? I have been extremely pleased using Vienna for years.
Pulse has been fine for ... I dunno, a decade or so now. I remember when it was problematic, and then one day I discovered I could do things like send sound to other computers, control different applications independently, turn on bluetooth headphones and just have them work. All the sort of things you'd expect a modern sound system (which ALSA certainly is not) to be able to do without having to edit configs or whatever.

Pulseaudio is definitely better at what it does than ALSA, it is not a step backwards.
QuiteRSS is available for Windows, but it seems to me that Netnewswire has a more sophisticated GUI.

Asking a Ask HN question only to tell us about your product in the answer is not nice. If you think you have an interest product submit it without the deception.
No, I can not remember having a race condition regarding startup scripts.
Exactly. I'm curious too. It seems like the author has something up their sleeves -- OpenSMTPD, apparently. But when I look at the homepage[0], I see a very typical linux-y man-page-style homepage... A far cry from what I would consider simple.

There are a bunch of guides floating online for Postfix, Dovecot etc, and some of them are pretty decent. But they go out of date quickly, or if you want to do something slightly different, you're on your own... And even if you end up with a running system, maintaining or enhancing it is a different kettle of fish. You can't just follow the guide again, you're back to man pages and usenet mailing lists with some info inside a thread 23 levels deep.

I am assuming the author has English as a non-primary language, which is totally fine almost all the time...

Except the author talked about making sure communication is succinct and the article has a lot of unnecessary fluff and indirectness.

This article could be really great with more polish.

The few sites I checked doesn't offer any feed at least
There are two issues here.

1. Losing weight

2. Health benefits. Like clinical intervention in diseases driven by inflammation as mentioned in the article.

There is some evidence that healthy person not losing weight would get other health benefits as well. The basic research is seems to be quite convincing. Animal studies show that intermittent fasting or calorie restriction helps. The caveat is that the effect diminishes when the size of the animal increases. It's unclear how beneficial following these regimes as normal diet would be for humans. That's why it's not recommend yet.
So... can management acknowledge individual errors if they’re paid highly?
I think this guy is shill and a fraud

'land area of fires' here is not at all the same as 'area of forest destroyed', especially old-growth

I've partly figured out the answer to my question.

You can self-host a backend such as Nextcloud News, TT-RSS, FreshRSS. Your client then needs to sync two-way with such a backend.

Using Newsboat (a TUI RSS reader) as standard, I'd say the following backends are applicable:

urls-source (parameters: <source>; default value: "local")
This configuration command sets the source where URLs shall be
retrieved from. By default, this is ~/.newsboat/urls.
Alternatively, you can set it to opml, which enables newsboat's
OPML online subscription mode, to ttrss which enables newsboat's
Tiny Tiny RSS support, to oldreader, which enables newsboat's The
Old Reader support, to newsblur, which enables NewsBlur support, or
feedhq for FeedHQ support, or ocnews for ownCloud News support, or
inoreader for Inoreader support. Query feed specifications will be
read from the local urls file regardless of this setting. (example:
urls-source "oldreader")

For example, for NextCloud/OwnCloud (which I opted for, as I already run NextCloud, and have no clue whatsoever which one I should be otherwise using) you need to add urls-source "ocnews" in ~/.newsboat/config and furthermore configure ocnews-url, ocnews-login, and ocnews-password.

NetNewsWire looks good (Vienna looks like macOS did 15 years ago). However, it does not support nearly as many external synchronization as Newsboat does (only Feedbin, which is commercial, while I can self-host and prefer an open protocol).

As for an Android RSS reader, I haven't figured that out yet, but Nextcloud News support a lot of sync clients [1]

I can confirm that the 2-pizza thing is just an analogy and when pizza is ordered there is more than 2 pizzas provided.
phpBB... I wonder how many of those accounts are just fake spam bot accounts.
I watched that and appreciate engineering effort put into the project. I'm afraid of being over-engineered (Maybe not), and hard to contribute to. It's complex enough that we probably better writing webassembly code by hand.
Knoppix hasn't been seen as a trendsetter in an extremely long time that I know of. I remember it being a big deal before live CDs became a thing that everyone did, but that's about it.
I believe it is just an unimportant mistake from someone that might not be a native English speaker. I do those all the time, something like a "phonetic typo"; I write things as they sound in my native language and don't realize it.
Many simple systems don't do parallel service startup like systemd, if that is what you mean.
Ah, I missed "directly" in you original comment. Yeah, rust has a couple of layers.
> do you agree that we are originally physiologically frugivorous?

Yes.

> It's possible to get all necessary nutrition through fruits, leaves (greens), nuts/seeds (and may have once required the addition of insects for which we can now supplement)

I totally agree. Except apes are not known to eat nuts, and are known to eat insects (when a tasty one craws by). So I expect us to be adapted to that as well. As a vegan I refrain from eating insects (although I find it a lot less offensive than eating mammals), so some selected nuts/seeds and a B12 supplement do the trick for me.

> but it's very time consuming and tedious to do so.

Given that we can buy tropical fruit (yay for mango) by the box, and have knives, I'd say it has never been easier.

> And in fact, I don't believe we are well adapted to eating animals.

Obviously. It causes us a lot of diseases. Animal product industry trying to spread FUD in order to stay in business a few months longer, but the end is near for them. And good riddance. :)

Ian Miell – Five Things I Did to Change a Team’s Culture
Man you have hit the nail on the head, thank you for sharing this, it has clarified some thoughts I’ve had for a while.
I'm not sure whether Firefox should actually be changed. It looks like Firefox may be conforming to the standard and Lloyds devs may have intended to use that standardised behaviour to thwart keyloggers.

Only they seem to have forgotten to test whether it actually does block keyloggers, and it only does so in Firefox.

So my grand example for a website not working well in Firefox may be just the opposite - Firefox saving my money from getting siphoned off by thiefs. Very bad choice of example on my part! :-)

Here's what the HTML 5 spec says on the <option> element's text content:

The text IDL attribute, on getting, must return the result of stripping and collapsing ASCII whitespace from the concatenation of data of all the Text node descendants of the option element, in tree order, excluding any that are descendants of descendants of the option element that are themselves script or SVG script elements.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-elements.html#th...

nbsp is not ASCII whitespace and so it should not be stripped. I can't seem to find anything specific on the autocomplete behaviour in this case, but arguably autocomplete should use the text content without further normalisation. Perhaps this is where Chrome and Safari devs would disagree.

In any event, this raises a bigger question. What if a site is actually broken in Firefox, but it's not Firefox's fault? Should Firefox then be changed to non-conforming behaviour, aping any Chrome bugs? That would put a huge question mark on all the work they put into making their own rendering engine instead of just using Blink.
The really astounding part of all this is that hobbyists have been monitoring the exact orbits of all the US spy satellites for years. They know exactly where they're overhead and when. That kind of capability used to be something that only a handful of states had, and now people just do it from their homes and post it to the internet.
You’re saying that management can influence events and that’s true. But management can minimize risk to more than acceptable levels and the individual can still screw up due to their own folly. This really feels like a dumb argument, that your mistakes must be the result of higher order systems.
I was really hoping they were going here.

I think there is something to be said about nature showing up in technology and human behaviors that we feel we've created.

I really enjoy when people draw the parallels outlining the interconnected-ness of it all.
It's definitely more about the theory of a small team than literal pizza.
This law sounds overbroad, and nothing but trouble. It'll make sending nudes carry a huge legal risk. I'd expect to see someone use this against their ex (or illicit lover) within a year of taking effect.

From all the teens punished for child porn for having pictures of themselves, it should be painfully clear prosecutorial discretion cannot be relied upon.
Ah, the “when you have eliminated everything else, whatever remains must be true” line. I remember it from Christian youth sermons and proselytising, where they would set up a strawman against God and then blow it down. One of the Holmes series' worse legacies.
>BTW Paxos also has a leader - this is what makes these protocols efficient.

That's the funny part of Paxos. Paxos is specifically sold as a multi-proposer protocol. The most subtle and hard to understand part of the protocol is the clever 2 phase proposal election with value inheritance. But it's all pointless because in order to make the system work you need a single coordinator you elect using timeouts or reliable message protocols.
It's an interesting thing that with the emergence of cloud computing, we get so many open source library and tooling almost for free but all of this came at the cost of killing the market for professional desktop software.

The installers from 90s and 2000s in windows that people used, were really good at extracting config questions from the users in a very user friendly way. The cloud services today are basically hiding the installation wizard but at the cost of rent seeking as opposed to running unfettered software on your own hardware.
News Explorer is doing a great job syncing between macOS and iOS without third party service, I hope NNW follow that model
>parses large documents slowly, but steadily, in memory space proportional to the key depth of the document

If parsing JSON with shell scripts and awk is your idea of the most ideal way to "slowly, but steadily" get the job done.

https://github.com/shellbound/jwalk/blob/master/lib/jwalk/co...

I know that everything looks like a nail if your only tool is a hammer, and it's fun to nail together square wheels out of plywood, but there are actually other tools out there with built-in, compiled, optimized, documented, tested, well maintained, fully compliant JSON parsers.
FWIW, I've found custom spec machines from small shops often work better. All of our desktop PCs at work were bought this way, since for a small business with just a few people at the office, you often want to tailor the specs for each machine. I too used to enjoy self-building for my personal PCs and got excellent results, but with my business hat on the time isn't really justifiable any more.

The advantages often claimed for the big name brands in lower prices and particularly in better support are mostly illusory in my experience. Any decent small shop will also give you honest advice about the current price/performance sweet spots and will know which brands for things like SSDs or motherboards have been proving reliable recently and whose latest product was a turkey.

If you also use Reddit and do want to put a spec together yourself, you might find the /r/buildapc sub to be helpful. As well as generally helpful discussion with people who are doing this all the time, there are links to some resources to help experiment with specs and prices that you might find useful. They won't produce a spec for you, but they'll be happy to look at what you're thinking about and make suggestions for improvement or warn of things you've overlooked.
Same problem here, last time I mentioned this on HN I got an angry mob after me but its true. Firefox is totally unusable on a mac. I believe the culprit is the WebRender implementation FF has.

thanks for the heads-up - `about:compat` and its enabling "Go Faster Addon" was news to me: giving a channel for concrete action following an opinion piece. Feels like a vendor distributed greasemonkey. It is called user-agent after all.
> The grid frequency itself doesn't matter much as far as consumers are concerned

So I thought and then we had a multi week frequency shift in the EU and various clocks started lagging behind. This does show up for consumers as well.
It depends on the firm. At some non-tech firms, being an independent is the only way to get higher cash. (Not universal) In this case an expert developer who doesn’t want to manage people escapes junior level salary bands.
Indeed. I read supposedly poignant articles all the time only to end up befuddled by a grammatical error. Typos are one thing, we are all in a hurry, but if someone is discussing "Marshall Law" I know they're an idiot.

We're very lucky that the Nigerian scammers don't possess better grammar and understanding of cultural norms.

As far as contracting goes, I have done both. Today's corporations are ruthless, and will exploit full time workers into working far more hours than they are legally required to. Contracting can cut through most of that noise. You want me to work? Pay me. Benefits and other matters are nice, but for software developers, hourly is very good.
Terrible name choice...
Heres the point though: I want to be writing email, not configuring email servers.

And if I need a Google/Apple email for usage on my phone, I'd rather just use that one instead of hosting my own email solution.

This is without even considering the fact that configuring email is not as trivial as say, setting up a website. And you're never going to get spam filtering as good as the Big Email corps.
I prefer the professionalism of black leather, myself. Sure, it creaks a little when I move and gets a lil sweaty in hot weather but at least it doesn't smell as much as latex.
I ran into it by Googling, so it was not hidden well.
> most domains accept mail from you.

And this is precisely why I don’t think it’s worth it. I don’t want to have to worry that “most” domains will accept my mail, I want a big email service that has the clout to force domains to accept my mail. I shouldn’t have to solve the mystery of why my mail was rejected (or rather, why some provider thinks I’m sending spam). That’s why I do Fastmail.
Banned from Reddit for Threatening a Bot
I used to run postfix/ssmtp/etc on Gentoo. From time to time, when updating the single components, something stopped working and then I had to quickly debug and find a fix. In the end it was too much time-consuming for me to maintain.

I then decided to search for a big-monolithic-do-it-all-solution (from a SW-perspective) and the only option I found was Xeams ( https://www.xeams.com/Xeams.htm ) - I didn't find anything open-source. I'm using it (the free variant) since 2017 and it works.

Runs on Java, provides all services (smtp, pop3, imap), has greylisting, has embedded user administration, users can have email-aliases, has a web-admin-UI, 1-click-sw-updates, etc... .

Sounds like you are circling around the idea of Dunbars Number

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number
I left Apple phones before that feature came out, and because of that feature I feel like I have no idea how to use a new Apple phone. I want to say it's just error but I really feel like they just forced a bunch of UI into that feature too hope it would catch on.
Randomly shuffling the bits _is_ a new permutation (of those bits). There may be a faster way to shuffle the bits of whole bytes/words on some architectures, but for the general case I suspect a normal shuffling algorithm (like Fisher-Yates) and shifts+and+xor swapping is best.
I mean, they must have _some_ way of running code before performing an upgrade, no? So they could check for these processes, store some state on the phone, and after the upgrade display a notice about what happened. This would all be on-device so it's not even a privacy issue.
I'd wager it was the "Browse Faster" ad - which coming from Google is a tempting click.

Just a small aside on the grandparents topic: my grandfather lost every dime to email scams in the late 90s. The man was a Westpoint grad who served in the Pacific theater as an officer, and in his last years he clicked away his retirement. Installing Chrome is a pretty benign mistake but boy, we need guard rails for our older folks.

Which ironically, could make the farmland they are burning the forest down for unusable (as it converts to desert)
Yes. In case both meals are calorically equal, yes.

The excess in cals from carbs are only marginally turned into fat (lipogenesis is not something humans are good at) and thus the excess is mostly burnt up by heating your body a bit higher (forgot the scientific term for this).

So the fat you eat is pretty much the fat you wear.

If you eat fat and carbs together (almost everyone does that) then your body will choose to use the carbs energy directly and store the fat. As fat is good for long term storage (unlike carbs, that get stored as sugar for short term use in muscles and liver), and carbs not bee efficiently turned into fat (as mentioned) yet can very efficiently be stored.
Computers definitely peaked in performance almost a decade ago, but this might change with more parallel software and core counts - but emphasis on parallel algorithms.

Superfood is also marketing hype. But I’d say there is an underlying truth: fresh, whole foods are more nutritious than spliced up or fried options and a diet lacking nutritious food can easily be deficient. Herbs are pretty crazy packed with (sometimes unique) beneficial compounds though.

edit-possibly it’s that plants pack nutritional compounds into their fruits, leaves, and bodies and the smaller the whole component of a plant is the more densely packed it will be.
