Issues are on the implementation, with for instance the network calls on every command run if for any reason the CLI is not whitelisted.

Also I am not against iOS either, I just need an alternative for the tools that don’t fit the model, and that role is currently filled by macos. The more macos is iOSified, the less it fills that role.

Ask HN: Any Scholarships from Tech Companies/Foundations?
I'm a high school senior and am working on applying for scholarships. I was wondering if anyone knew of some less-publicized scholarships from any companies or foundations. I plan to major in computer science, with a possible double major in math.
If you know of any, or if your company offers one, please share!
It's expecting companies to subsidize misguided government policies. For example, if the government restricts housing (and implements rent control) which drives up prices, why should companies pay more to make sure people can afford housing costs? How about runaway inflation?

There's always talk about market failures when many times government failures are the true causal mechanism.
It's fine to come up with some magician who created our world and is looking at us through his/her terrarium, if that makes you feel warm and cosy. It's a whole other level to claim the world is flat and/or just a couple of thousand yours old. Than you're just an idiot.

Show HN: Nodemaker, automatic node generator for n8n
Hello Hacker News!

We're Iván and Erin, two students from the MLH Fellowship (https://fellowship.mlh.io/), and as a capstone project for the Fellowship we built Nodemaker, an automatic node generator for n8n (https://n8n.io), a workflow automation tool.

Nodemaker: https://github.com/MLH-Fellowship/nodemaker

As we spent all summer contributing nodes to the n8n codebase, we realized there was an untapped opportunity to automate much of the nodemaking process, which often involves writing TypeScript files with a specific structure, while ensuring that all the various codebase conventions are followed, and completing a large number of time-consuming tasks every time a new node is created.

By automating this process, Nodemaker helps n8n developers work faster, allowing them to focus on the logic of their nodes and forget about minor details. And in turn, Nodemaker also helps n8n maintainers review nodes faster, as they can be sure that codebase conventions are being followed.

The n8n project was originally discussed here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21191676

> The packages—gcc and so on—needed to compile Python are removed once they are no longer needed.

Is there a reason to prefer this method, where installation, usage, and removal all happen in one RUN, vs. using a multi-stage build? I tend to prefer the latter but am not aware of tradeoffs beyond the readability of the Dockerfile.
I worked at * bank [Australias oldest bank!] within the last 3 years. The entire bank CRM (~12 million active customers) is a Z/OS CICS system which was first installed in about 1972-73.

The same goes for all wire transfers, credit card transactions, ATM infrastructure and so on.

The banks solution was to simply write about 40 different Javascript and Visual Basic interface apps for staff to use, which are poorly maintained failures, running inside on-premises VPS. If you wanted to access the apps for one of the banks subsidiary banks... you had to open a VPS via remote desktop INSIDE the remote desktop instance of the VPS you were already working on.

Where it got really stupid though is they wrote a windows program which emulates the 'green screen' environment. My coworkers in their 50s were using the same IBM commands to update client account details that they learned during training in the 1970s as branch staff.

>Does anyone else have any experience updating and rewriting old mainframe batch processes to newer systems and architectures?

What we did is... use AutoHotKey to record keystroke macros which are then executed into CICS via a windows emulator. It sounds stupid, but we managed to automate about 50,000 FTE (full time equivalent) of man-hours from our India based back office teams. The MBAs loved that. Of course, this was achieved by using an auto hot key script on an IBM terminal emulator running CICS inside a windows vps running inside a second windows vps, running inside a desktop computer. All written in a mixture of VBS/javascript/AHK

Size and progression do not require space or time.

The quantity of nodes in a branching tree of causal events can grow larger without time or space if there is no reccurance for any given state to be compared to another.

From the "gods eye view" the tree "grows" even if there's no internal information which can be used to recover any space/time prior to reccurance.

You put into very readable language what I have felt to be true for some time.

What I appreciate about your comment also is you mention the necessity to understand their presuppositions and reason that way (at least sometimes). I feel like the issue with many discourses going on right now is a lack of good faith understanding of the other "sides" presuppositions.

And yet, it can be so painful for someone to even pretend they can identify with the following belief for example this belief

> So if science leads you to the conclusion that life has no transcendent purpose (and it does) then, on their world-view, science must be wrong, full stop

The much easier tact for lets say a standard pro-science metropolitan is to decide the YEC-er person actually knows what is "true" (e.g. what the metropolitan thinks is obvious) but is actively choosing to do wrong. Then you can refute their point as purposely provoking _and_ also put them in the "bad people" box with one little mental facade.

I'm not trying to build a purposely weak example of either group, I think all humans have a simplifying mechanism when it comes to viewpoints/ideas and that we need that to survive in some sense- and that we do it all the time probably in benign ways. But acknowledging what other people believe is a great skill to build I think.
You have completely missed the point. Their argument is logical. It just starts from a different foundational assumption.
My 3rd though 6th grade education was at a private Christian school. We were explicitly taught that the Earth is ~6,000 years old and that fossils are a test of faith in that belief. Fundamentalist creationists exist.

This gets to one of the big issues.

A lot of these beliefs arise from very fundamental axioms of belief that only show up through these high-order belief systems.

If you fundamentally believe you should follow the evidence no matter what and THAT is the highest priority of your belief, then you are (more likely) going to fall into the camps of hard science and nothing but the science.

Or perhaps in a different vein, do you fundamentally believe you are a good person fighting evil? Then anyone who disagrees is THE ENEMY and must be DESTROYED. And not only are they doing bad things, but they are fundamentally BAD PEOPLE. They're not just baby killers, they're Satanic Baby Killers.

Of course, we are all a vibrant mix of these beliefs, and some may change over time with enough exposure. And many often hold beliefs counter to other base axioms and a careful walk may help expose and nudge their higher-order beliefs. But recognizing that it isn't just about Evolution or just about the world being flat, it's actually built on layers and layers of logic from very low-fundamental beliefs is key.

Because even if you prune some of the top facts, the base layers will remain, and they'll adapt to stay aligned with their core beliefs.

The reason is to minimize the number of layers, mostly the layers that are not used in the final image (in this example, a layer would include gcc while another would remove it, but you would still need to download the layer with gcc).
Managing the performance of your cyber program in uncertain times
Well, you're using someone else's products (dev tools, compilers, OS libraries) you buy and license from them under certain commercial terms. If you don't like the terms, don't buy them.

And to be crystal clear, that's the approach I am personally going to take. I carved off a TB partition and installed Windows 10 and WSL 2 on my new iMac and it runs like a dream. I still need MacOS, and I'll be installing Virtualbox for some stuff. If the Mac gets to the point where I can't run all the applications and tools I need, I'll miss the hardware and the OS and some apps, but I'll jump ship. I hope they listen to us, but I intend to ask and argue, not tell or coerce through legal action.

It doesn't allow them to control the narrative about their product. Suppose the reviewer doesn't know what they're doing, and has the wrong settings selected. Or uses code samples that are devilishly difficult (e.g., heavy use of function pointers) so that the results show the product in a very negative light.
> But I'm starting to think this inability to control their emotional response when hearing anything that conflicts with their "belief system" is the hack that various organizations leverage to build a cult-like following.

Jonathan Haidt describes this as "morality binds and blinds". The full quote being:

"Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say."

I also like Haidt's interpretation of Hume's "reason is a slave to the passions". Haidt descibes logical thinking as like a press secretary of emotion; with as much power over emotion as a rider has over an elephant. - The elephant goes where it wants to.

Honestly, hanging out in the Flat Earth FB group was extremely educational. In that actual physics and cosmology has a very solid, self-consistent grounding, and the hoops the group has to jump through to make it match to their alternate theory of a flat Earth are illuminating about how the real Earth works.

I'd never really noticed before that no satellite dishes tuned to talk to geostationary targets point north in the northern hemisphere, or south in the southern hemisphere. A bit of thought immediately clarifies why, but the flat-Earthers have to imagine an incredibly large conspiracy of governments hiding radio towers taller than anything humanity has ever built to explain it.
I missed that very obvious point, thanks.

It doesn't, necessarily. But it's a part of that overall argument.
Gasoline when burned emits 2.3kgs of CO2
One can confidently assume 1.5 liters per nautical mile for an 8 meter petrol boat at speeds above 20 knots.
That's 3450 grams per NM.

Our boats consume roughly 1 kwh per NM, from the grid.
Swedish electricity generation emits about 15g of CO2 per kWh. That's even better than 99%.

Even in the US, in 2013, with 500g of CO2 per kWh, the emissions from a Candela are still 85% lower. And at least 99% lower locally in the water where the boat is being used.

It would be fantastic if all boating was done by sails, but saying that's the solution is like saying Tesla shouldn't have innovated on the automobile because there is already a technology for moving around on roads: bikes.

Do you suggest that nothing should be done about emissions on the water?

I think the Kremlin is very much content with having such a plaything opposition, which tacitly plays along, and does nothing to really challenge it.

The few other people who ever were a credible threat to the regime in Russia were dealt with much more unceremoniously: gunned down in the broad daylight.

I think the KGB is just "trolling" him.

Would they were they serious, they could've thrown the usual "espionage," or "terrorism" charge, and landed him in prison for 20+ years, poison him to death properly, or simply shot him dead as they've done with hundreds of others.

Patreon reportedly takes 5%. Youtube Premium takes 45% according to [1]. But it's also a very different model, where patreon requires that you signup for a specific channel, and youtube distributes your money based on watch time. So in theory Youtube's model is better for small creators without a large community. Another way to see it is that youtube provides you with discoverability while Patreon does not, usually creators will have Patreon in addition to Youtube where they get discovered and sell their Patreon.

Youtube also has a subscription similar to Patreon, available only to larger creators and they take 30% off that, according to [2]. While this seems high compared to Patreon it's actually lower than Twitch that takes 50% off subscriptions.

Twitch also offer a bit system that is like a tip, and has a lower percentage.

Another datapoint is OnlyFans, used mostly for porn and takes 60%.

IMO the platforms are very distinct and their offers are fairly different. It's not a fair comparison.

True, but at the time, anyone who wanted to fly a plane (for recreation, commercially, etc.) would be likely to use a flight sim as an inexpensive starting point for training or practice, and that's not even counting the people who might never step into a cockpit, but enjoy flight sims regardless. Terrorism was a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the use cases for flight simulators.

And when this happened, the dust had just settled on a big nontroversy over the role of first-person shooters in real-life shootings -- arguably, a stronger case can be built for restrictions on those (for example, not allowing them to be sold to small children) than for restrictions on civilian flight sims.
Ah yes, the famous "I don't like them so they shouldn't be able to live"...

Since you're willing to deny people's basic rights such as "working", following your logic, someone could argue that you obviously lack empathy and shouldn't be in a managing position or anywhere above the very bottom of the hierarchy ladder

although rents do tend to absorb surpluses in our plutocratic form of capitalism, landlords are still largely local and rental markets fragmented (although those are changing with the financializing of real estate), so that money still tends to circulate locally. a small portion does get captured as wealth by landlords, which doesn’t tend to circulate locally.

You are correct. Although, I think the idea of the universe simply "bouncing around for infinity amount of time" lends a lot of otherwise unintuitive epistemological intuitions around ecological circuitry. There's a lot to be said to for how conceiving of things circuitously rather than linearly provides space for things which would otherwise end up elided.
It's still probably a normalish distribution
It's also not that easy to do- you at least need a few hours playing a proper sim before you can reliably hit a building. Before 2006 (IIRC) there were was not much else to do but just fly around before they started doing tutorials and challenges and such. As a kid I would just do loops around airports until I learned to land semi reliably, fly into buildings, fly under bridges, try to fly and find recognizable things.

Flying under the BK bridge, and into the sears and twin towers was probably the biggest "activity" I did on flight sims.

The problem is that, in my experience, the most nefarious of these disinformation videos are those who are the most plausible and skirt reality enough to be complicated to debunk in a simple sentence.

If you seriously believe that the Earth is flat or that lizard people control the world, then frankly a Youtube disclaimer won't really change anything.

But take this random video I found earlier on PeerTube: https://peer.tube/videos/watch/7b5faff9-1752-4eba-be37-beeb0...

It's in French but basically it's one of these videos against the banking system that simplify and caricature the situation to the point of meaninglessness. Coming up with a proper fact-check for something like that would be incredibly difficult, and I'm sure extremely controversial.

It would also take a lot of time and money to get economists and physicists to weigh in on these videos. That's how these conspiracy theories manage to remain relevant in the first place: overwhelm the opposition with thousands upon thousands of hours of content, and claim that they take things out of context or that they don't get it if they don't bother to sink months of their lives watching all that garbage.
Yeah, it’s sampling from a distribution where every company has problems in every one of those spheres they are mentioning, except only one of these issues will be the last one to finally finish the startup.

So it’s more about sampling from what kind of issues are more prevalent in a startup rather than what kind of mistakes they will be making.
