I use Gatsby and I like it, but the alternative is a few hundred lines of code if you're doing what Gatsby says it does (eg a static site generator for markdown files). The fact Gatsby can do much more doesn't mean everyone who uses it is doing the other stuff.

If you just want a static site Gatsby is overkill.
It probably depends what sort of software.

I migrated from a MBP to a 2018 Mac mini with 64GB, and the ability to run say 10 VMs at once, without having to limit them to half a GB RAM each is amazing.

I'm not in the market when this thing (Mac Pro) is actually released but in a year or to, I may well be migrating to the latest of the Pro line - I don't care about GPU (much - it just needs to drive some displays) but I do care about CPU speed + core count, Memory and fast storage.
I also don’t think this rings true. Picture this: you have a high-stress job that also takes over your weekends on occasion. You have kids or elderly parents that need support. You have a long commute.

How can you fit in _another_ project (albeit small) in a week’s time (heck, make it two) _and_ manage any two of the above at the same time, when setting aside an hour (or more, if it also entails on-site) is already a very significant investment on your part?
oh wow, smalltalk has only 6 keywords. that's really... small :).
Find a human who wants a computer program written (A). Find a human who can program computers (B). Have A describe what they want and have B code it without asking questions to further clarify the issues. What do you expect the result to be like? For me, my experience tells me that it will be a total failure.

The problem with programming is not the encoding of the requirements in programming language for the most part. The problem is that the specifier (A in this example) usually does not have a full grasp of what they actually want. In fact, they usually don't have any idea at all. "Give me a e-shopping system to sell comic books" is the level of detail they can understand.

The closer A can come to expressing the requirements they need, the closer they are to actually being B in reality. B's real skill is not in knowing the syntax and grammar of the computer language, it's in knowing that in order to make a system that will satisfy A we need to do X, Y, and Z to the tiniest detail.

When we get into trouble with our software is when we write code that is dramatically more complex than the problem we are trying to represent. This doesn't happen so much because we don't know how to program. This happens because we are slowly extending the code base over time with imperfect knowledge about what we are ultimately building at any given time. We also have to trade-off the benefit for getting something done with discovering generalities that allow us to simplify the expression of code that we already have.

I don't think we will ever replace "programmers" with AI -- at least not until the AI can be trained to ask the important questions about what the system really needs to be (and for that we need turing-test passing level AI). I think it's much more likely that we will build more and better tools that help programmers visualise and plan the programming situation. I think we will have automatic code generation because we already have it: Look at "derive" in Haskell and Rust, for example. But I think that's the level of automatic code generation we're going to want for at leas the next 20 years or so.

Interestingly for testing, I think we'll actually go the opposite direction: We will spend more time thinking about requirements and the computer will help us by writing tests that challenge our assumptions: I've broken this function, are you sure you got it right? Again, we already have these kinds of systems and I think that this is the most appropriate direction to invest in research.
It's comforting for us as humans, of course, to think that any life form would end up in the same inevitable energy race which destroys the planet. Unfortunately there is no basis for this assumption beyond our own failure.
Hijacking other person's ShowHN to promote your own project of nearly the same exact nature is not very nice, don't you think?
Well, Tesla is doing a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong both as a company and as a product. It’s natural that it would be polarizing compared to a company going straight down the middle like Honda.
This looks exciting and depressing at the same time. I understand all the bashing about this on HN but would love to hear about this from younger generation and kids who are growing up on these devices.

I'm not an expert, but I would guess it would be possible to have an exact match on the genetic fingerprinting, but then do a full genome sequencing to confirm that the two samples are from different people.

The funny thing is that although I have often heard about the police finding an exact DNA match with someone who was provably not at the crime scene, I've never heard about anyone doing a different DNA test afterwards to investigate what happened: did a fragment of skin get carried in the wind from one city to another, did samples get mixed up in a laboratory, or was the match a false one, akin to a hash collision?
I fully agree and am caught in shock every time for the huge dissonance. This doesn't make sense.
He didn't said that. But at this point, I think everyone made up their mind about the reading of the email. Here is the original email thread you can read and decide for yourself https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-091320191420...

Linus and Guido actively write code and merge patches for their respective patches.
>Stallman has pretty clearly lost (or never had) the trust of many members of the community,

He lost or never had the trust of some very small but very vocal group of the community.

> EFF's head of cybersecurity have described him as a "creep".

And we must take her judgement on people as accurate? why? Also, an accusation of "creep" should not be enough to erase all his life's work. What does "creep" means anyway? Asperger? Social inept person? Modern tech were built by creeps.

>He said that an underage sex trafficking victim's "plausible" apparent consent means that the people who raped her did not commit sexual assault.

He didn't said that.

>he will probably not be a very effective leader of GNU, even if he was before.

Why not? Software is created by "creeps" like us anyway, not by social activists. I don't see why a "creep" will not be effective as a leader.
Content managers like WordPress and have lots of experience with it. Using it as a backend is fine. Gatsby on the frontend has advantages (speed, security, etc). Combining the two makes a lot of sense.

This is how Linux still works by default, right? Behaviour that is quite surprising, at least it was to me when I discovered that it, in conjunction with many tools (e.g., docker) conveniently enabling up forwarding on all interfaces, unwittingly transforms multi-homed hosts into routers...
There is none; the people who keep promulgating this falsehood about Stallman say that because of one paragraph that anyone who can pass the SAT reading comprehension tests, parse standard English, or understand the basics of logical reasoning, would have understood that it is simply a wrong interpretation at the level of how 1+1 = 3 is wrong.

It is much better to accuse Stallman in that instance that he was mansplaining and contributing to workplace toxicity, and/or to accuse Stallman of a historical pattern of objectifying women. Those are better because they are closer to the truth. But people like simpler narratives, that he said this one horrible thing, when it is not even that far fetched to show using the exact same quote that he was actually arguing quite an opposite, or orthogonal, point.

The other thing about this is that people ignore the context of the speaker; in this case Stallman was talking about media abuse of terminology. To complain about media manipulation is a very standard, leftist position. So like the above, to implicitly suggest that he was using this position as a cover for his personal misogyny, has merit, but nobody cares about this angle, because again it's too complicated to sort through.
[1] Somehow we should conclude from that that RMS is guilty because somebody thinks he's a "creep", because apparently being called a "creep" by a bluecheck twitter user automatically makes you guilty of... well, whatever it is, it's clearly your fault. OTOH, calling people "creeps" is totally normal behavior and isn't negative, demeaning and aggressive in any way. If somebody dislikes you, obviously it's your fault.

[2] No he didn't say that. It's easy to find the actual email and read it. Do it. No, really, please do it now. Once you have done it and came back - now you see what I meant when I said he didn't talk about Minsky not committing sexual assault because of this and that reason, and you can easily see why he couldn't have said that.
> I still hope this incident doesn't ruin RMS

Notice that, fortunately, he seems to be in good spirits and has not lost his sense of humor. Look at the top line on his website (stallman.org). He says "I may not be a good leader, but at least I'm a great speaker[1]. "

With the link pointing to a video of a comically bad speech of him (which is funny, because he is almost always a very good speaker indeed).

I think it's a great idea! However, I think you may find that success with this product will depend more on people being able to use your service - rather than people wanting to use your service.

In my case I would require (1) confidence in the security of our data, (2) some way to continue using the service without it being manual (eg latest months data is reflected somewhere I can log into), (3) where a model is being created a way for existing systems to interact with it via API.

PS Personally I love the insertion of #2 on the solution points. Yes I would have questions going in but would appreciate validation that they can be answered effectively and would appreciate a list of potential questions that I may have missed myself.

I disagree wholeheartedly but I am, admittedly, also an owner of a Tesla. The thing is that it's not like any other car from any other manufacturer and it's, by a good multitude of miles, the best car I've ever owned. There's nothing, to me, that's "poor quality" about it and people complaining that they don't like features that were added after they purchased the car because those particular features don't apply to them or get them excited is kinda ridiculous. I've never had a car that ever added features that I didn't have on purchase. My Teslas didn't have dashcams when I bought them. Now, they not only have a dashcam but 2 side cams and, starting next week, a rear cam that automatically record while I'm driving and while I'm parked and away from my car.

It's really not that we're dismissing issues. I think it's just that these cars get so much right and just have a different philosophy about how cars should work that the little things that annoy people tend to stick out for them a lot.

I have driven lots of luxury cars, owned BMWs, and am a pretty big technophile. There is not a question in my mind that the Teslas are the best cars I've ever owned or had to pleasure of driving. It sounds like the parent that you're claiming we'd be like if it was any other car is upset about the car he was hoping he'd eventually get as opposed to the car he actually got. I don't think any other car, regardless of price, ever gets any better or changes after you buy it. That alone makes the statement a little ridiculous, in my mind.

Insisting on resampling would be stupid, it will match twice that is not the problem. But if you insist on resampling then you are giving the evidence more weight than it can bear, much better to show that statistically it does not have much weight at all even if it matches (once, twice or more is not relevant).

The cold cases broken open are the ones that are left after all the other methods have already been exhausted. Sure, some of those might have remained unsolved if not for this method. But that does nothing to show the method by itself works better than all the other police work, for that to be concluded you'd have to compare with all the cases that were solved with ordinary police work and then to conclude that if all of them were first attempted to be solved with this method that the total outcome would be an improvement.

That seems unlikely. So for a very small fraction of extra cases solved a very large change in evidence gathering methods and dragnet style fishing for suspects does not seem to be worth it to me.
You can accomplish it in other languages, but will all the other library authors do so? Do the OS libraries do so?
> In natural language, "A isGreaterThan B" is a statement and reads as an assertion or a constraint, instead of a conditional test or question; it's ambiguous whether it should do anything.

The reason functions with these names (and comparator operators) return booleans is precisely to make the code read like natural language. Look at the C syntax:

if ( a > b ) {
doSomething();
}

We read this is "if a is greater than b, do something", and by an amazing coincidence, that's what the code does. In order to get the code to do what it says it will do, we need the > operator to be a conditional test. It always looks like a conditional test because it always appears in the explicit context of a conditional test. The fact that "a > b" outside of a conditional context looks like a constraint rather than a test isn't really relevant, because placing it outside of that context in the code is a no-op and therefore doesn't come up.

Fascinating! Did not know z/Arch millicode was written in PL/8, so let's do some archaeology:

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL/8

"PL/8 (or PL.8), is a dialect of PL/I developed by IBM Research in the 1970s by compiler group, under Martin Hopkins, within a major research program that led to the IBM RISC architecture.[1] It was so-called because it was about 80% of PL/I. Written in PL/I and bootstrapped via the PL/I Optimizing compiler, it was an alternative to PL/S for system programming, compiling initially to an

intermediate machine-independent language

with symbolic registers and machine-like operations.[2] It applied machine-independent program optimization techniques to this intermediate language to produce exceptionally good object code. The intermediate language was mapped by the back-end to the target machine's register architecture and instruction set. Back-ends were written for IBM 801, S/370, Motorola 68000,[3][4] and POWER/PowerPC.[citation needed] A version was used on IBM mainframes as a development tool for software that was being designed for the AS/400, as well as to write the "i370" internal code for the "Capitol" chipset used in some ES/9370 models[5] and the

millicode for S/390 and z/Architecture processors.[6]"

Interesting!

Before there was LLVM's IR, IBM had something similar to it, as part of PL/8, and apparently at least early in history (we don't know about the current day) wrote the millicode for S/390 and z/Architecture processors with it!
He did not claim that and did not insinuate that. It's like saying that person that doesn't believe we should use term "piracy" to describe copying software without obtaining license, because piracy implies violent robbery, thinks that violating copyright is OK. It's a total non-sequitur and failure of reading comprehension to the point of functional illiteracy.
No, among other errors this assumes that anatomically modern humans are equivalent to neurologically modern humans, which is unsupported supposition.

Huh.

Maybe I'm naive, but wouldn't iptables block it?

Default rules on the host box that this VM runs on include:

-A OUTPUT -o eth0 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o eth0 -d 1.2.3.4/32 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -j DROP

With 1.2.3.4 being the VPN server that I'm using. And VirtualBox doesn't have USB enabled.

And if I weren't using a VPN, it'd be:

-A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -j DROP

So nothing would use a new interface, no matter what routing it promised. And even in Windows, decent VPN client apps use rules that are basically analogous to those.

This is a bit of a strawman. Law enforcement already uses databases of DNA and fingerprints of offenders and tries to match new cases to them. These are highly effective measures since many criminals are repeat offenders. So of course a DNA genetic database is privacy infringing to a degree. Its not required for every citizen to register their DNA, and its an extremely useful tool that helped put extremely violent offenders in jail.

I don't get this type of visceral reaction personally, even though I wouldn't use this type of app, but I understand why some older people would never touch it.

I like to keep up with new tech and I was looking at the viral Houseparty [1] and Airtime [1] apps the other day. While I'd never do anything like that with my friends, when I checked the reviews it was mostly 12yr kids (some say their age in the review for some reason) and I could imagine myself at a younger age loving this stuff.

The kids could use it when they are stuck in their bedroom and want to to 'hang out' with friends after school. Watching Youtube videos or simple games combined with live video chat and texting.

I could see a similar use case here with VR.

The whole 'spectator culture' watching people playing vide games is a massive phenomenon among kids. But sitting watching a "zany" perpetually hyper guy playing a video game for hours seems foreign to most adults.

The social lives of kids are already heavily intertwined with technology. They don't mind jumping into a multi-party video chat with some friends from school. Doing the same in a VR world sounds just as fun.

There's also always naysayers for every tech launch on HN/internet so it's safe to take it with a grain of salt. Sometimes it's just not meant for you and that's totally fine.

> And we must take her judgement on people as accurate? why?

I didn't say we should. Though I trust her judgment more than, say, yours (an anonymous person on the Internet). I used it as evidence that Stallman doesn't have the trust of the community. Also "creep" is almost certainly talking about the way he reportedly treats women, nothing to do with his social graces.

> He didn't said that.

He did say that. I've posted links with evidence of that already in this thread.
> There's legal precedent that public figures blocking constituents on social media amounts to a first amendment violation

That's US-only.
It's not about plastic trash in general, the concern here is microplastics in the sewage/ocean/food chain.

3 HOURS? Does that say more about your workstation or the project?

I've recently built php + most of the bundled extensions, in a VM (on a 2018 Mac mini) and it's only a couple of minutes at most to build.
It is also discomforting how suddenly people are trotting out years and years of evidence why Stallman shouldn't have held the role. A mob convened, Stallman disappears and there is a pile-on of people working quickly to expand why it was done with all sorts of rationalisations.

It is never appropriate for these sorts of controversies to play out over 1 week. If there are years of evidence of problems, there should be a few weeks of tying them all together before people resign. The knee-jerk reaction here over a mailing list comment is genuinely concerning.
