Honestly, I have to say I'm in two minds about NixOS.

Conceptually its a great idea, but I'm a bit worried about the possibility of all-mighty failures caused by adding the extra layer of abstraction and complexity. Its a bit like messing around with the buzz-word-of-the-day Kubernetes compared to just getting the job done with a good old fashioned VM.

Given solutions like Salt are around that can manage reproducible builds anyway (in conjunction with PXE installs), I see limited applications for NixOS.

Also, sometimes its nice to have the warm fuzzy feeling of using a software vendor's supported package build on a supported OS (e.g I'd rather run a package from the official Postgres repo then mess around getting Postgres working on NixOS).
I keep having issues with the built in GPS in my car, and occasionally I’ll get a flash of an error message about the gearbox being in P while driving. One of the glow plugs is also alarming as being bad.

My windows machine has a bunch of “unknown hardware” listed in device manager. It’s a fresh windows 10 install of a dell xps laptop.

I’d say my car is doing better than my computer. At least Bluetooth works in my car.
There's a really good book called 'Tubes" where the author describes visiting a cable landing site. Also being present when a cable is bought ashore, and when the cable laying ship is loaded.

Ask HN: How do you prevent code leak from current/former employees?
How do you secure your code assets from leaking onto github/gitlab? Let’s say hypothetically that the company does not have a work issued laptop and that the company has invited developers to the organization with their personal github accounts.

For instance, a developer worked for your company for two years, but is no longer there, and has leaked some production code he wrote to show to a recruiter/developer?

Another example would be a current malicious employee who posts code snippets of your super custom trading algo to github as part of his next job search or while trying to land a contracting deal?
OLE was only part of the strategy, the idea behind it was to create a "document centric" operating system.

In other words the "no apps operating system" is what Microsoft envisioned already with Windows 95

IBM tried something similar with OS/2 warp that was "object centric"

The idea failed, not because of OLE, every other technology was bad back then and inherently less secure, but because the World moved back to app centric view and rebranded it as people centric. the modern app stores are the result of that and the fact that the integration comes in the form of "share this" "tweet this" "post this image on Instagram" is why we still have apps at the center of the old desktop metaphor, because branding has more monetary value than function (we don't beven write anymore, we tweet), even though something functional is better than something with just a brand attached to it.
I made my first WhatsApp payment in August 2019, so reckon they rolled out for iOS much sooner.

While WhatsApp has done a brilliant job rolling this out, my only grievance is the WhatsApp UPI ID they have given. Mine’s something like 91xxxx.wa.efo@bankname. Life would be a lot easier if we get something like 91xxx@whatsapp. That would also enable me to pay directly via WA while shopping on Amazon/ Flipkart. Currently, I depend on PhonePe and PayTM to complete my online transactions using UPI. I understand the characters succeeding @ is mostly a bank name offering UPI platform but even taking that into consideration, a username like 91xxx.wa@bankname would be much more convenient.

PS - I know “wa” in my username stands for WhatsApp but have no idea about “efo”. If someone would kindly proffer a suggestion.

How does it do on Google? I'm obviously not expecting it to do amazingly and I know off site SEO can be done. But, assuming you are tracking that kind of information, are there posts consistently getting hits from our Google overlords?

As much as I like optionally-self-hosted tumblr-like idea, reasonable expectation of getting search engine to rank 'quite high' when, say, 3 fairly niche keywords combined appear in the title and throughout the post would be a benefit.

This is not true, and keeps getting brought up as if it were.

The rest of the developed world has _universal_ healthcare. In many countries it is provided through single-payer, in some it is through mandatory private insurance, in others it is a mix.

Where the United States stands alone is not the lack of a universal government program, but that we have many millions of people not covered by any health insurance system at all.

That was caused because the system was defective/corrupt/ineffective, this is cause because the system is really tuned into economic efficiency. The system is not prepared to adjust easily to a disruption of this size,as it takes time to readjust the production process.

Yup!

I see NixOS as an easy way to re-install easily my system when I get a new machine or just to sync easily packages between my laptop and desktop (so they almost have the same things installed on them).

As for servers, I don't really see the point of nix as usually, pre-made and preinstalled images are already deployed.
I think I'll still stick with Debian and all the usual software such as Docker for this usage.
I know people who systematically drive over the speed limit. I disapprove of it, but I wouldn't call them criminals.

You can justify doing that by being sufficiently pedantic about definitions, but I don't think you gain anything in the public debate by lumping "people who speed" in the same category as burglars, murderers, etc. In most discussions, it's not productive to view these people as belonging to the same group.
One possible explanation would be to think what kind of pictures or photos would get labels with words "white woman" in them. If it was a single woman smiling it would probably be labelled "happy woman" or just "happiness". The word "white" is likely to appear when there are other people of different colors in the same picture. For example "Afro man and white woman happy at a pool" or something like that.

Same with European art. The prefix "European" would only be added when the author of the picture tries to contrast it with something else, or push some agenda about "European art". Otherwise it would just be under "art".

Case in point with another term: look at "American scientists" and "white American scientist". The second one will have more results of black people. This is again, in my opinion, because the addition of "white" is mainly added by those who concentrate and write about things related to race.

Another case in point - try looking for "thin woman" and observe how the proportion of pictures with obesity in them is bigger compared to searching for "woman" only.

As far as better information, diversity in viewpoint in journalistic within organizations will help. News that starts within a bubble is probably more distorted.

The social media problem is harder, but giving users ultimate control on how to filter fake news is important. Otherwise, social media companies should express editorial positions and advertise editorial services as a core part of their offerings, then consumers and content creators would have clear signals about biases in how information is curated on their platforms.

> In any case, the user centric model gives more direct power to users to target the money they pay for the service to the artists or tracks they favour compared with the pro rata model, which is not transparent from their point of view.

This is the model most people would think their money goes to. But the recording industry has never been intuitive. Or fair.
Perhaps because you'd have to synchronize the switching of the supply with the switching of the amp to prevent aliasing effects.
This doesn't make any sense.

Apps are what allows you to do any work on the data, starting with being able to display the data on a screen (or print it on paper).

You (and we) have no clue how bad your code is.

You're suffering under Dunning-Kruger.

There's also a large percentage of the population whose religious beliefs preclude a belief in evolution, especially in certain regions of the country.

And therein lies the problem, algorithms can't tell if you click and spend time with something because you enjoy it, or because it enraged you.
Platforms are completely antagonistic to this goal, as the definition of a "platform" is pretty much "something that lives in its own world, and so doesn't care about following outside standards".
Does it make any practical difference? Surely in aggregate the totals end up broadly similar?
But that’s absolutely not what the original example was showing. It was showing that even an dumb tool can do cool tricks on simple tasks. And that’s because you have an abundance of information about query and schema, so you can possibly do a more high-level reasoning about how to fulfill it.

There’re design flaws, but the direction is most promising.

I have noticed AirTable but I've never tried it. Maybe it's good but on the spectrum of customization AirTable seems closer to Excel or Google Sheets than Access or something custom-made.

Another important aspect is data protection. For my last "just CRUD" project I had to implement at-rest encryption where PII is only accessible with the user's password[1]. Something like that would be possible in JavaScript in an ugliest.app but if I'm not mistaken not in AirTable. Most businesses would probably be fine with it but I'm always a bit uncomfortable entrusting someone else with any unencrypted customer data, especially PII. (But I'm not saying AirTable doesn't do its job protecting customer data.)

[1] It just so happens that this was part of my undergrad thesis project so you can read up on the encryption scheme: https://github.com/T0astBread/thesis/releases/latest/downloa... (section 4.4.2 "Personally Identifiable Information").
Yes and no. I did personally think (before learning more) that my monthly payment was divided to the artists I listened to. But all money is pooled to a single bucket from which money is then distributed to all artists. So even if I never listen to any of the 0.4% artists here, 9.9% of my payment goes to them anyway.
Nah, Israeli are cool. The left just doesnt like it that they (generally) do not have a victim mentality.

> I mean, just listen to Biden's victory speech and compare it to Trump's. Or compare their twitter feeds. To say the Republican party stands for civil discourse... I honestly don't know how you could have watched the President for the past four years and come away with that impression.

Easy, just look at who is in favour of censorship, "deplatforming", violence against people with the "wrong" opinions. Words don't hurt, Tweets are overrated. But silencing people, causing them to lose their jobs, or just assaulting them, that hurts.
And this seems reasonable, since I would expect that most of the streams come from the ‘popular in country x’ playlist.
1) You can configure docker's daemon.json file on Kubernetes in the same way as every other system running Docker (in fact, you can apply it with a daemonset if you want to).

2) Yes, every other image mandates where you should get it from - Docker Hub's are unique in that regard.

Normally the registry the image is pulled from is configurable in the Helm chart.
A really cool feature would be to be able to "save" and share charts by setting the url parameters:

At least Apple has not done anything as user-hostile as this, yet.

On iOS the balance of control is still in the user's favor, not the apps', and increasing with every release (like discrete permissions, limited location sharing, being able to choose which photos each app can see).
I'm not talking about any of that. Why people voted for Trump is a related discussion, but not the same. Clearly, Pizzagate or Q or Birthers or 9/11 Truthers or Ukranian conspiracists did not deliver on their word, so I'm wondering about the dissonance in the self-identification as skeptics by people who are clearly very credulous, as well as by their epistemology, the process by which they come to know what is "true."
Company Culture Values and Levers (short read)
The 2 extremes are indeed closer to each other than they are to the center, the Horseshoe theory. Of course, extremists on either side would hate to be bundled together, their ideology is different but their extremist approach is not.

But I can't help but think this is a very asymmetrical horseshoe where the right side extends much further then the left side ever did. The problem is not even necessarily the particular ideology but rather that the right side is willing to be far more extreme in their views. That in itself is exceptionally dangerous no matter what the views are because it implies a very, very unpleasant life for those who don't share them.

It's the reason why today the US is so divided, there's no more overlap, the 2 sides each sit in their corner. The only possible response to increasing extremism on one side is increasing extremism on the other side until one has enough power to quash the other.

Sure, but how is Q more trusted than, say, the FBI, even if the FBI is hardly to be trusted at all?

> I think that "believing in stuff" is not a problem affecting only the "Trump world".

I agree, but they're unique in not just being credulous -- if not more than others then certainly no less -- but also in self-identifying as skeptics while doing so. "I don't believe scientists and historians and law enforcement because I'm a skeptic, but I do believe the unsubstantiated ramblings of strangers online, some of whom are anonymous!"

Maybe "Incognito mode doesn't persist any information" vs "Incognito mode doesn't silently persist any information"?

The latter has more opportunity for confusion. Just a guess, I don't know what the rationale is.
Communism has killed millions around the world, yet it's ideology is growing on the left as well.

That's part of the problem. There's such focus by the left on Nazis and by the right on Communists that the overall capacity to form a consensus and negotiate between the two groups is significantly hindered.

The majority of both sides is not extremist, but ignoring each other is amplifying those extreme groups.
Worth also pointing out that 4 years ago that social media was implicated as being manipulated by Russians.

Seems like no foreign state interfered this time around, but the point was that the Democrats blamed division on social media on the Russians and that most of us have amnesia about that.
