I have used this set up in the past. With GPU, NVMe and USB passthrough it feels pretty much native.

There are definitely some caveats. You can't just passthrough any GPU. Post High Sierra AMD has the best support. Select Nvidia GPUs like the GT 710 still work, but it doesn't do hardware video decoding. I could never get sleep to work either.

With Apple moving towards ARM in the future, I thought of giving Linux another shot. It's not as polished but so far has been adequate.

> We are rubbing up against the reality that most humans are less and less valuable to other humans such that they are basically valueless,

By what standard are we "valuing humans less" ?
This seems to fly against the facts.

Global death from almost all causes have gone down.

e.g. "Battle" related death - which is the most clear evidence of valuing human life less than political gains have dramatically fallen:

For what it's worth, the Spivey Building is almost 100 years old and it's been abandoned since the '50s.

St. Louis has a lot of cool abandoned architecture, although you might want to be careful wandering around East of the river.

I wonder how many cities have abandoned towers that became historical places thanks to longstanding traditions of not being able to afford a demolition.
DevOps is a set of practices not a role. I do Ops, practicing DevOps, and I serve my programmers. My job is to ensure they stay happy. If they're not happy about something in the production pipeline that's on me. I work hard to make sure that I'm their Jesus Christ for all things infrastructure.

If your programmers aren't delighted with you, I'd say you the Ops person is not practicing DevOps or you have a buy-in problem to DevOps practices at an organization level.

The real reason for the updates to the list are to get clicks. If the list doesn’t change at all, there’s no news. If it’s a completely different list every time, there’s no legitimacy. The list is tweaked by the amount that makes it a news story with a healthy and spirited debate on Twitter.
Why would it be hard to compile? Costs over supply chains are calculated all the time. And we don't have to look at IPhones, we just have to look at the subset of processes that emit non-neglible amounts of CO2 regardless of if they are the final product or not.
What about printing it into a static image and then extracting the curves?
My take on the debate over internet censorship is that the "free speech" contingent badly wants to deal with it using elegant, consistent, universal principles.

While a solution that meets those criteria should always be the goal, we must recognize when it isn't possible. If we don't, we wind up with something that satisfies our ideology without actually being a good solution.

Such issues often result in new law. If any phenomenon creates a certain level of harm, a society is liable to alter its laws to deal with it, breaking with convention if necessary.

Regarding your phone company example, what that means is that the answer to your question might depend on the extent to which the criminal activity is harming society.

Regarding Facebook, I'm open to betraying my normal principles, because the amount of injury Facebook does to the world justifies exceptional remedies.
I've also seen rural US and Europe.

Trains work well when you have enough people to care to use the infrastructure. But if not, you might try buses. I saw a rural village in Hungary (~80 people) which has a bus stop to the nearest town. That's very nice, but the village center is a mile walk from the bus stop on the highway. My point is that a train may not automatically work. (Some rural communities in the USA do have similar bus routes.)

I'm curious: what is your example of a small European village with a train line? I'm asking because I just picked a random American town on the map: Spencer, Iowa. ~11k people, and it's about a two hour drive (~100 miles) in all directions to a larger city. A two hour drive is a decent drive, but it's not much overall, especially if you're comfortable driving. It's quite hard to find a similar scenario in Europe: these vast, sparsely-populated tracts of land. And that's my primary point: Europe's population is distributed more uniformly and densely than the USA. A blanket claim about how x transportation mode must be used in the USA ignores the stark regional variations.

Sure, in certain large cities, widespread car ownership may lead to a tragedy of the commons scenario, but it's on a per-city basis. The vast majority of cities in the USA will never encounter this problem because their "commons" are just so big, all cows still find a spot to graze. The cities that do encounter large traffic jams eventually build public transportation infrastructure to reduce the burden on roadways.

Playing out the maximal scenarios, I'd much rather live in a world where everyone drives cars than everyone rides trains. A mix of both is even better.

Walkable downtowns are great, and cities of all sizes should have them.
Would living in tents reduce CO2 emissions? Is that preferable?
Germans don’t care what New Yorkers think about Germany. A news article about Americans taking pity on Germany would never land in Der Spiegel but we don’t call that German exceptionalism.
I don’t think it’s clear at all that concrete wouldn’t work for a moon base. I can definitely at least imagine that there might be some CO2-scrubbing technology that might be practical on the scale of a moon base that wouldn’t be if scaled up to the entire planet Earth.
It's a tool invented by man that can model nature. It isn't an inherent property of the natural world.
I would argue cargo ships don’t need their own category in that case since they don’t exist for any other reason than to be part of the supply chain or other goods. All cargo ship pollution can be attributed to the cargo they’re transporting.
I also prefer shopping alone - have a list, get in, get it over with asap, and get out. I pity the people who enjoy shopping, although due to us not enjoying it, we're obviously the ones who should be pitied.
Yes, but the question is, how much of these emissions come from the basics, and how much from extravagance?

The article doesn't mention one alternative: CLT (cross laminated timber) as a building material for houses and flats. See https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190717-climate-change-w... for example.

Using CLT (and passive house principles) can reduce the total CO2 emmissions of a house by 90% in its total life span. The wood in CLT stores carbon and the passive house principles reduces energy needs.
Even if it was "unix took a wrong turn" there wouldn't be any project on earth more qualified to make that claim. I mean, it's Rob Pike & Co. and if you look at their Git repo the first several commits are by Brian Kernighan. They're former Bell Labs employees who worked on things like UNIX.
Seems like they provide an autossh+GUI subscription service that maintains reverse port forwards? If you do not have a public ssh host to connect to then this is an option.

Things being how they are and the app being Chinese, I guess I would need more convincing on why I should trust them first.
The problem is, assuming the butterfly effect, anything you change could trigger the paradox -- and the further you go back, the less work you need to do find a trigger.

I mean you can't even cause the timeline in which you decide to go back to change; your memory would either have to be altered to match [a paradox: which memory was "first"? Neither] or you'd have a memory from a timeline that never existed [does that count as a paradox?]

If in USA, most states have "at will" employment which means you can leave anytime. But the professional courtesy is 2 weeks notice. If you are not in USA, check your local country rules. I for example worked in HongKong for a while and we had a min. 3 month notice period on both sides. I have heard most of Asia and even Europe may be similar.

I would however advise you to think about yourself first without feeling bad for the employer. Be fair though. If you have a good relationship with your Boss and team and they depend on you for some valuable work, 2 weeks is absolute minimum so that they can work on a transition plan. If your relationship with your boss/team is really really good and if your boss counters asking for say more time, feel free to negotiate that. I did that for my last job when I quit and my boss wanted me to stay for at least a month and I obliged because I was ok with that since I loved my team.

If your relationship with your boss/team is not good or if you are not that valuable to them anyway (to be blunt), be prepared to be let go immediately on notice with extra pay. Companies do it for their own peace of mind and don't take offense with that but be ready for it.

Either way, do what is best for YOU, not for anyone else but try not to burn any bridges for all the hard work you have done so far with this company. People underestimate the power of past employers connection/networks sometimes. Yes, leave when you need to but always try to do it on good terms. Good luck!!

Let me tell you something about highly educated experts. As a highly educated expert i attended a fairly well respected 4 year University where i was taught how to use tactics like framing to persuade my audience to view a situation how i wanted them to perceive it. I was taught that the same set of facts could be weaved into two totally different stories at my choosing. I was taught that Karl Marx fortold the death of capitalism and freedom in favor of the "fight of the proletariat". In other words a bunch of crap that any self righteousness ignorant prick with a bunch of money could pick up and use to screw over the world and enrich themselves. There's nothing inherently good about being "elite". It just makes better liars and more clever traitors.

Obviously that falls into it "it depends on what you're looking for" territory, but some of my favorite (AFAIK) open source fonts:

- Arimo, Tinos, and Cousine: The "Croscore" fonts designed by Monotype's Steve Matteson as metrically-compatible replacements for Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Courier, respectively. (Red Hat's Liberation fonts are basically the same.)

- Adobe's Source Code, Source Sans, and Source Serif Pro fonts: now that Source Serif has its italics (and Google Fonts looks like they've finally bothered to update), these are pretty terrific.

- Charter: an old font that's actually really high quality.

- The Computer Modern fonts from TeX: easy to overlook if you're not using TeX, and makes anything you use them with look like you are using TeX, but they're good typefaces.

- Cooper Hewitt: a sans serif designed for the museum of the same name. Maybe the most relevant in a discussion about Neue Haas Grotesk, since it's another font with a strong sense of design and purpose, and, well, isn't Helvetica. :)

Most of the Google Fonts can be downloaded and self-hosted, FWIW, and you can use Font Squirrel to subset them and make them extremely small and fast. I do that with a few commercial typefaces on my own web site. (Commercial typefaces that actually allow this with their license!)

Statistics on how much CO2 something emits can vary wildly. For instance, meat consumption has high CO2 emissions when you include the CO2 emitted by transporting grain to feed animals. But most typical studies would include that under emissions due to transportation. Hence why you can have some studies claiming meat accounts for a double-digit percentage of emissions while others claim that all agriculture contributes to ~3% of emissions.

The citation for this claim doesn't seem very robust. It links to the Ellen MacArthur foundation website, but just to the front page. After some of my own Googling it looks like it's coming from this publication [1]. This study drew up some estimates on the amount of textiles produced and discarded as well as a simple conversion of 4.7 Kg of CO2 for every Kg of textiles produced. The source for this ratio of CO2 to kilogram of textiles simply says "McKinsey Analysis"/

The paper addresses this objection in section 1.3: “That this paper’s title question is worth posing is a function of the incompleteness of the geological record … The oldest extant large-scale surface is in the Negev Desert and is ~1.8 Ma old. However, pre-Quaternary land-evidence is far sparser, existing mainly in exposed sections, drilling and mining operations. In the ocean sediments, due to the recycling of ocean crust, there only exists sediment evidence for periods that post-date the Jurassic (~170 Ma).”
Selling to someone is as simple as saying, "I can sell you this for this much, sound good?". Why they say "yes" is up to the product being sold, and the person being sold to. The better you understand that relationship, the more it makes sense.

Try selling a 100$ bill to someone. You could say something like "Hey man, I can give you a really good deal on this 100$ bill, you interested?".
"90$?"
"I can give you an even better deal! 75$ bucks and this 100$ is yours!"
"Ok, sure."

That's sales. The 100$ bill is be the product you're selling and all it takes is for the buyer to see it like that.
Google has a completely different culture from the open source community when it comes to stack. Many FOSS programmers assume an 8mb stack due to a belief that malloc() is slow. Google built all its production services under the assumption of a 64kb stack, because they found a way to make malloc() go fast and wanted to have lots of threads. So it shouldn't be scary or unexpected that there's a little bit of friction bringing those two worldviews in harmony. Google was nice enough to open source tcmalloc.

Ask HN: Technical skills helpful for building a startup today
I have recently developed a keen interest in coding and technology in general. I was suggested by a friend to go through Harvard's CS50, which I did, and now have a decent understanding of some basic data structures and algorithms. Now I want to learn more skills that will help me build projects independently from start to finish, and eventually create my own startup.

Since this is YC's official forum, I figured that folks here could give me solid advice on what technologies I should learn to start a startup. I have a vague idea that knowledge about web dev (React, Javascript etc.) and cloud (AWS) is in high demand in industry, but are they the first things I should pick up? What about mobile apps? And blockchain? Where should I start? What area is the easiest to pick up and has the most resources online?

Thanks!

while there is an overlap between libc and POSIX where by POSIX defines its standard in terms of the C language spec and its std lib, getaddrinfo(3) behavior is part of POSIX standard only.

Obviously go devs are attempting to do the right thing here and trying to implement async version of getaddrinfo(3) because POSIX's version is not and this route is extremely messy as it ends up requiring to reimplement bind's libs, and or the whole dns standard.

But this has nothing to do with C's std lib. its posix interface is defined in C, that's all about it.

What's being attempted here is to implement a POSIX defined function in another language and with a different behavior (async).

If there exist a getaddrinfo_a() in the posix standard, go devs wouldn't have had any issue and they would have went the typical route and created a binding between go's call and the posix call provided by the OS.

Is safety different from a Smart car? Some people drive velomobiles, some drive regular bikes, some drive electric scooters.

Car was always overkill and will always be unless there are two of them or there is an ability to hire bigger car conveniently. Or there are more places to park smaller car.

In Europe speed limit within towns is 50 km/h and often smaller in residential areas. That's entirely different mode of transportation from 90 km/h outside, which is yet different from autobahns.
