I’ve found it to be an improvement. Writing pre-systemd init scripts was never at all enjoyable. Systemd units aren’t exactly works of art, but they’re much, much better.
As mentioned above, you don't need to retype:

$ foo bar baz<cr>
^P^A<esc>u
$ FOO bar baz<cr>

As for ^T, I'd wholly forgotten about bind, inputrc and all that- but of course both your proposal and the above can be put into an inputrc macro and bound to a key. However the all caps version is shorter when you remember you need sudo in the first place ;).
> If I had to say one text that is the fundamental one, I would go with a paper: “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem” [1], by Alan Turing

Certainly that one, but I would add a couple of others:

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laws_of_Thought" (George Boole) - lays out boolean algebra; fundamental to everything in computing

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Symbolic_Analysis_of_Relay_a... (Claude E. Shannon) - basically lays out the equivalence of switching circuits to boolean algebra, fundamental to electronic computing

Note in fact many of Shannon's works and research could be considered "fundamental"...
Words, sentences, and paragraphs tend to be far longer than in English, and all the action parts at the end are.

English tends to offer more readily graspable hooks to sense general content. German not as much.
I was just following orders.
This concept has always been a bit misleading- we're still importing light / sweet crude from places like Saudi Arabia since it is cheaper to refine (to EPA requirements). We're just exporting more heavy/sour oil and natural gas to offset it.

The only way we'd realistically be self sufficient would be a WWII type scenario in which EPA regs and emissions control were suspended due to some national security requirement.
I think Docker had a bigger influence on cgroup use than systemd.
This presumes intent from those that “made it”. I’m not so sure the people that reached the top knew that their actions would take them there. For example, I doubt anyone in the early days of facebook understood why it was going to be as big as it was going to be. They wanted it, yes, but they didn’t know. Facebook’s success is down to luck in making the right choices. And ofcourse, once you reach a certain level of wealth you create your own luck, so one hit is enough to lay the seeds for a string of successes.

My point is, we praise captains for industry for their unique insights, but I doubt they’re really that clever. Yes, they have skills, but not skills as rare as their wealth would suggest.
I agree with you but your individual account deletion doesn't really prove him wrong that he and others value their convenience over other people's rights. I've actually yet to even meet another gamer in person who cares at all.
Right. Follow the money.
Perhaps "talent" is the wrong term. I can be talented at hammering nails, that doesn't mean I'll be super wealthy.

What you need is a talent that earns revenue and the foresight to retain the net income and increase revenue. "It's all about leverage".

Another approach I have personally done is taking out a $30k loan, invested it and doubled my money paying back the loan. What does that mean, I started with zero, and ended up with $30k. I then took my newly made $30k and continued to invest it (without a loan).

My point being, you aren't rich because you didn't take a "chance". You didn't increase your net worth.
DDG has gotten better to the point that I have switched all of my browsers to them and the number of times I have had to fall back to Google Search has dwindled to almost nothing.

If you were turned off by poor results in the past give them another try.
I like systemd, but agree that binary logs are a horrible idea.
There was one mentioned on HN not long ago:

Documentation has a tendency to not keep up with what it is documenting, etsy has a great blog post about this and their shift in philosophy around documentation https://codeascraft.com/2018/10/10/etsys-experiment-with-imm... .

we've adopted something similar at work where we've necessitated that all support related questions be asked through https://www.discourse.org/ . This allows the most timely solutions to surface to the top and if a question hasn't been asked before it gets thrown into a slack channel where a subject matter expert can answer it. Making this one change has monumentally reduced the support burden of our teams.
I think it's a mistake to assume that just because something is a skill it's not influenced by "luck".

For example, from what I understand, in the big five model of personality, conscientiousness is over 40% heritable.

Anecdotally, I remember how even in the first grade there were kids that were clearly low in conscientiousness and kids who were clearly high in conscientiousness.

Pretty sure the kids in the latter group didn't instill a work ethic into themselves by age 6.

I hope that it's possible to develop conscientiousness as an adult, at least to some degree, but clearly it is something that you can be born into.

I'm using "conscientiousness" as an example, I don't think it's the same thing as "hustle", in fact I'd even suspect that there's some conflict between the two.

However, my point is that development of skills aren't independent from luck, since we all are dealt different cards with which we then have to play.
Until it doesn't.

Until very recently having wrong permission on one of the networkd config files would result in networkd ignoring the rest of the perfectly readable network configuration files too, cutting off all network connectivity. (Systemd also requested the permission change iself.)

Currently there's a bug where if you have a bridge and all interfaces are disconnected from the bridge (I use hot-pluggable USB network interfaces) when you re-connect them, networkd will keep the bridge off. If you restart systemd-networkd it will fix itself.

I can name at least two instances already where I lost networking in my entire SBC farm, and had to pop out all microSD cards and fix the breakage manually, just because of systemd-networkd bugs. And I don't do anything crazy, just a single ethernet interface and two overlay wireguard networks, and mostly default config.

And fixing it yourself is not easy. I can do C coding perfectly fine, but I run 3 different CPU archs, so fixing it myself means compiling (3 times) and distributing my own systemd version to all my machines until upstream fixes the bug. It's not pleasant, nor easy.

I certainly understand people who miss having an ability to more readily script the system startup/network config.

> What is important, to me, is that it's a society that's flatter and more egalitarian than anything I've observed on the coasts.

Fair enough, but that really doesn’t jive with my experience. I graduated from a class of 300 people in a farming community and many of my classmates I know have left because of an inability to find decent paying or meaningful work.

The nearest large town of about 100,000 people is in the middle of a housing crisis and has to grapple with all the same issues that large coastal cities have been dealing with for a decade. And they’re certainly not egalitarian about any of the solutions. Large, national real estate companies have moved in, developing primarily luxury stock, but also buying up existing housing and apartments to make sure prices and rents stay high. There’s all kinds of eliminationist rhetoric about the poor and homeless being tossed around (which honestly was always the case, even when I was a kid). Local politics are controlled by a handful of extremely wealthy families. They’re archly right-wing, which is different from the coast, but not really too much in terms of how much the poor are cared for. I looked up the stats for Texas and they seemed pretty bad on inequality, healthcare, etc.

> You aren't defined by your job and there are institutions that draw broad swaths of society into shared experience. (Often, because there is no alternative--in small town Iowa, the surgeon's kid goes to the same high school as the farm worker's kid because that's the only high school.)

Again, I really want to emphasize that just because it doesn’t seem as apparent to you doesn’t mean it’s there. In my very small school, the class distinctions were very sharp, even if we weren’t as easily segregated. That happened too, but mostly in the form of kids being sent off to expensive religious schools for middle and high school.

Wealthy kids bullied and mocked kids from families who were service workers. Everyone knew who lived in the trailer parks versus the subdivisions. Poorer, working farmers were mocked by those who had wealthy hobby farms (and often took care of animals like horses for the rich kids). It’s definitely a different tapestry of cruelty from city life, but it shouldn’t be romanticized or misunderstood in anyway.

> If you need permission from the government to build anything, and permission is granted based on a central zoning plan

Right, but there’s not a central zoning plan as far as I’m aware, there are many competing corrupt ones who seemingly stifle all but the most unaffordable development. A state-level, less restrictive, centralized zoning plan would probably actually be an improvement.
Iverson's "The description of sequential processes" is eye opening (as our "Notation as a tool of thought" and "A programming language"). But that's about describing the science than the actual science (imagine a book about the merits of Leibniz notation vs. Newton notation of derivatives...).

So it appears something did actually change it.
The flaw in that is the when you clause ends with something that usually is ambiguous or taken the wrong way can flare up an argument. I am a bit rusty in the theory since it's more than a decade since I took the course but the other form is what has done wonders for me. Me and the wife use NVC at least weekly to defuse situations.
Gentoo, Alpine and Void still default to using their own init systems.
The concept here shares much (and probably pales next to) Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Read_a_Book

If you're going through a lot of material, the ability to rapidly assess quality vs. unrewarding content, and then rapidly extract as much value from that quality content as possible, is extremely useful.

An HN perennial, FWIW: https://hn.algolia.com/?q="how%20to%20read%20a%20book" See particularly discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12209446

And yes, there's the notion of reading simply for pleasure, in which case, for quality writing, time is its own reward.
VMS was mostly written in Bliss, a high-level language, not VAX assembler. When you bought a VAX, it came with a box of microfiche cards showing the VMS source code.
> The most successful people are not the most talented, just the luckiest

Huh, interesting hypothesis. Certainly a strong claim. They must have done some really impressive and thorough work to come to this conclusion.

> a new computer model of wealth creation confirms.

Sigh.
> One thing I learnt from composing (with software) is how much the instrumentation determines what style/genre the music sounds like - almost totally.

Interesting.

> If you want an answer to such questions, don't believe anyone's word, but listen for yourself.

That's good advice but presupposes a level of musical literacy I don't have. I can play music but unless everything is in a familar key I'll get lost. Plus, I've tried this with some things (e.g. The Killers) but I'm sure they're playing in a different mode which explains their chord progressions. It seems that each song/artist requires individual research instead of for genres in general.
Bad title.

> 1) your experience in DC - you are ignoring the whole history of segregation and white flight and residual racism that makes DC what it is. These are not issues in central Texas

Yes, DC has a very dark past in that regard, but decades of progressivism hasn't fixed anything. And the most recent trend in the city has been yuppies who vote the right way and say the right things pushing out all the people of color, leaving a starkly segregated and stratified society. Meanwhile, given what's going on at the border, I don't think it's accurate to say that Texas doesn't have its own issues with respect to disenfranchised demographic groups. But the combination of cheap housing and plentiful jobs is allowing broad-based prosperity in Texas.

> Have you double clicked your experience as it relates to deep social issues - Texas has the lowest rate of insured for example. Or protections against LGBT rights or incarceration rates ?

There is a place to talk about social issues, but that's not what I'm talking about here. The material prosperity of the people in the middle is a really important thing too. Indeed, that is deeply inter-connected with social justice issues, such as how easy it is for immigrants to assimilate into the country and establish themselves.

Speaking as an immigrant myself, what was important to my family when we were first starting out wasn't the incarceration rate, or how our neighbors felt about people from Muslim countries like the one we came from. It was the fact that, on a middle class income, without my mom working, we could afford a decent house in a good school district. That's something that Texas delivers on, and that results in tangible prosperity even (especially?) among immigrant groups.

The median income for a hispanic household is just 2% higher in California than Texas, but the median house in California costs 3 times as much. If I were in my parents' shoes, trying to pick a place in this country to get started, I'd pick the suburbs of Houston or Dallas over the suburbs of San Francisco in a hearbeat. It wouldn't even be a question.

> California housing is the opposite of central planning. It is an outcome of intense democracy and a patch work of very local zoning laws.

That it's the product of democracy and local zoning laws doesn't mean it's not central planning. Californians have used democracy to create a zoning system that forces construction into centrally planned models. You can't renovate your house or build a new one (or, god forbid, turn your single family home into an apartment building) without going through a central bureaucracy. That bureaucracy considers things like the "zoning plan" and the "character of the neighborhood." That's central planning!
How do you prevent state intervention in a free market? What prevents the capital-possessing incumbents in a market from saying, "We need a government and an armed police force to enforce intellectual property laws"?

Blizzard decided that "free hong kong" was:

"Engaging in any act that, in Blizzard’s sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image"

I suppose what is offensive is always up for debate, but I don't see any reason there wouldn't be consequences from folks who live in a free society when they see such a light level of speech clamped down on, presumably because on oppressive regime wanted them to.
So you don't mind if I make insane claims that have no basis in reality?
Little Book of Semaphores

https://greenteapress.com/wp/semaphores/

while not on the front page is a really good book that you should read if you are interested in multithreaded programming. It has a bunch of interesting puzzles and solutions. Even if you don't use semaphores, these exercises will be useful in increasing your understanding.

You could equally accurately say:

Distinguished mining engineers, business leaders with links to Australian mining, retired geologists, two signatories from CATO and Richard Lindzen signed the Clintel petition. Clintel was founded by a Dutch engineer with time in the oil industry, and former professor of acoustics, geophysics and innovation management.

As you mention, knowing "who" matters.

Or you do something sensible like have a hub. Every client device pairs with the hub. Every sensor device pairs with the hub. The hub brokers rendezvous and authentication. And to pair anything with the hub you have to be sitting there next to it with physical access.
And it's still cheaper than public cloud. Look at cloud provider margins, that profit is your opportunity at this scale (and BoA, JPM, etc are big enough to run their own technology teams, and do, having worked with them). Fat public cloud margins come from somewhere.

This isn't a religious argument. Some workloads are fine on prem (known load profiles, shed infrequent traffic spikes instead of bursting), some need cloud (Netflix.com, remember all of their video content streams from their own CDN hardware), it's ensuring you're making the decision in an objective way. Sort of, but not quite, similar to making software budget and timeline estimates.

If software is eating the world, and every company is turning into a software company, why would you be surprised that orgs above a certain size wouldn't also turn into an infrastructure company? You don't have to compete against Amazon, you just need to satisfy your engineering needs for your vertical and the software that drives it. Amazon needs to be everything to everyone.

You've missed my point.

Clearly we have flags => different "laws".
i find the chance argument very compelling, but there's another factor which to my knowledge the OP researchers didn't investigate: ethics.

the richest people i know (with wealth in the 10M range) are the most amoral in their thoughts and actions, and it makes a big difference financially. note that i said amoral, not immoral; they aren't malicious, they simply don't care.

they don't refuse a business opportunity because the business would be explicitly unethical; they do it, and profit from it. the same is true if the business produces negative externalities. it simply doesn't matter to them because money is money as far as they care.

they don't craft their investing strategy with the goal of investing in companies that behave well; they chase the money regardless of the ethical problems that they may be directly incentivizing.

overall, this gives these people a much greater range of freedom when it comes to making large volumes of additional money. while i don't know for sure if being amoral helps people become rich in the first place, i assume that it does because having more options on the table is never a bad thing.

so, maybe the answer to the question of "if you're so smart, why aren't you rich" is "i refuse to act unethically to make money".

in my personal experience, i think this argument is pretty good. in 2010 or so, i realized that there was a then-latent market for TDCS / consumer nootropic brain stimulation systems, and considered making a company around producing and selling them to consumers.

however, at the time, i knew that brain stimulation hadn't been proven safe to use in the long term, and selling it to consumers would require working around the FDA's rules about medical devices to essentially evade their oversight. in short, i refused to start a company whose time had come because i knew that i'd probably be harming people as part of the core business. i would have been one of the first in the space, and while i don't think i would be rich today if i had done it, i know that it would have been a chance to get rich and certainly that there were some people who did get rich. and of course, there have been plenty of consumers who have been harmed by these products, often in unidentifiable or subtle ways.

so what's the moral of this story? having morals is expensive, and it sometimes precludes you from becoming rich even if you're lucky enough to be at the right time to take action.
Ditto. The facility shown as in Columbus, GA is actually in Utah.
Did you see, at the top of the page, "Observations | Opinion"?
The addition of solar forcing to CMIP6 means that they completely missed it for the first 5 models, so the consensus was wrong. Science is driven by observation and experiment not by consensus.

We should not expect their first iteration to accurately model clouds, but at least they are factoring it in now. How much did consensus override the concerns about cloud cover during the formation of climate models over the last few decades? Consensus is just a fancy word for groupthink.

We should be asking how much more accurate do our models need to be in order to predict future climate?

There are cycles such as the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation that we still don't really know how to model with a high degree of accuracy. The AMO has dramatic effects on climate. So does the PDO.

We don't know how volcanic activity is going to play out over the 21st century.

We don't know how much cosmic ray flux will increase if we enter a prolonged solar minimum cycle like the Maunder Minimum.

There are a ton of factors that influence climate that our models don't account for.
