There are tons of programs that do not go through "the" libc under Linux, everybody and their dogs seem to reimplement their own locks recently for example. Plus the libc actually makes a way greater surface to cover given it gives you access to most of the syscall plus other functions.

Plus you still want all the fine semantics of Linux (mmap, cow or at least cow-like, etc.) and for tons of calls the libc is a trivial layer anyway, so you are not gaining much. The layout of processes also. At this point you are back to a big part of picoprocesses again, because you don't want the classic NT layout, nor cb to userspaces, etc.

Maybe would have been more of a practical idea for a BSD, but even then the remark about the surface of the libc API vs syscalls apply.

But Linux has a stable API, so it does not make much sense to do Linux compat without re-implementing it and given you can do just that, well do just that.

And you rightly note at the end that syscall support is needed, but at this point the whole architecture would have made absolutely no sense: if you are going to implement syscall eventually, just implement them in the first place, and not more code.

Also I doubt the only issues of WSL1 were performance. I doubt they would have been able to follow the upstream quickly enough, at least not without a pretty big dedicated team, and it seems difficult to justify. The WSL2 approach leverages techs that are used for many other things.
I've been wary to trust the sync behavior of tools like dropbox or onedrive, as they permit concurrent edits of files. For things like encrypted password databases, there isn't an automated merge strategy that can be applied. I think they support versioning, so if two edits happened concurrently then the losing edit would be recoverable via versioning. Maybe that's not really a concern for a password database, as you'd likely be online when making a change? Anyone see issues with KeePass and sync tools?

Anyone who has ever seen a deindustrialized American city like Detroit knows that there are rotting mansions, while working people live in cramped tenements.

Imagine if Detroit had imposed a $5000/year non-occupancy tax on those foreclosed or abandoned mansions. People would have lived in them and maintained them, instead of letting them rot.

We use pass for our whole team. When someone creates a new password it is encrypted with everybody's public keys and everyone can just git pull the repo and use it. It's great for sharing passwords between people.

And then, the fact it has a ready-made agent which can be forwarded etc., means you have built in means to cache the password etc in a way that is extremely well vetted and trusted.

Emotionally I agree with you, because I hate cardio. But I feel like there is some merit to sustained heart rate for (e.g) some improved aspects of brain function.

The main reason to run hackintosh as far as I know is to write software for macOS or iOS. Apple won’t encourage corporations to build hackintoshes but as long as it isn’t too easy to install macOS anywhere I don’t see how — on net — it hurts apple.
I love these posts on static site generators. They are a constantly reoccurring topic. Everyone wants something that's "easy" and "simple" but this is at odds with having flexibility to handle more than one person's favorite workflow. There's endless discussion because there are endless solutions.

Personally, I've used a number of static site generators and I ended up in the opposite direction. I needed a website where I could write posts and not have to worry about more than just writing and posting, no deployment, no plain text intermediate languages between me and the end result.

I ended up using Wordpress. I was already familiar with it, knew how to self-host it, and was comfortable modifying a theme to suit my purposes.

Writing and posting new articles is so much easier using rich text. I generally type up my post in Apple Notes first. Copying and posting to Wordpress saves most of the formatting. Inserting images is drag and drop.

Large numbers of good plugins meant it was easy to find something to implement features like having a click-through warning on 18+ posts. Install a plugin, configure it, and I'm done.

Wordpress works well for me, but a lot of programmers are rightfully horrified. Wordpress is popular and complex, which results in a long history of security issues requiring mitigation. It's inefficient and needs caching. It needs to be backed up because everything is in a database, not plain text. As a result, it requires more systems knowledge than a static website.

Static site generators and applications like Wordpress are tools.

Everyone ultimately looks for a tool that works for them. My goal is to write posts, not fiddle endlessly. Other people love the fiddling.

So, if you’re looking to build and maintain a website, think about what’s important to you. What’s your skill set, interests, preferred workflow, and goals?
Had this type of thing happen twice, in both an old an new car.

New car (stops 60-0 in 101'): Doing 30mph. Middle school kid just didn't look and stepped into the road about 35' in front of me. I slammed the clutch and brake and the deceleration was very rapid. No contact or injuries - plenty of room. Not sure how he didn't hear the loud(ish) car coming up the hill prior to that.

Old car (60-0 in 120' when new, more likely much longer at this point): Doing about 35 mph. High school kid wearing earbuds decides to step out without looking about 20' in front of me. I feather the pedal and it wasn't looking good. At least the kid heard the right front lock-up an got back on the side of the road. If he were walking on the correct side of the road, this wouldn't have been an issue since you can see the oncoming traffic close to you (no sidewalk).

What is it with people not looking before crossing the street? They teach this in pre-K/Kindergarden.
> That comes from the fact that they don't understand the data they are dealing with (as you said with dimensions). You cannot use the arithmetic mean on interest rates because it does not make sense to add them up. If you just go for the geometric mean "because it's a rate and I have read online I should use geometric mean" then you won't learn why you need to use the geometric mean.

This isn't quite correct. You can take the arithmetic mean of interest rates, and it is meaningful. The ensemble average of interest rates might tell you the expectation of interest rates over a class of instruments at a point in time. However, if you want to know the compound growth rate of a single instrument or portfolio, then you're going to need to use the geometric mean.
By the way there is a tool called "progress" which will scan all running processes of (supported) tools like gzip, cat, grep etc., and report progress of their file operations.

If you want to emulate this by hand, first get the fd number of the file of interest by `ls -l /proc/PID/fd/` and then `cat /proc/PID/fdinfo/NUMBER`. There is a line called "pos", which is the position in the file.

Honestly it is almost funny how Google has been mostly unable to successfully launch new products while they have the capacity to promote them to virtually all of the global north.

In particular with Play Music .. not going to complain, I don't think that this market needs another FAANG product but wow, failing to promote that service is one epic blunder.

Apple does "For the past five years, we’ve continued to hire more women and underrepresented minorities every year." https://www.apple.com/diversity/

Facebook does "We’re committed to building a workforce that’s as diverse as the communities we serve" https://www.facebook.com/careers/facebook-life/diversity

I would look up others but I think those three make the point. Companies are actively hiring underrepresented minorities. Yes some people think more effort should be put in but to say it isn't happening is being ignorant of reality.
The Mac M1 platform is about as open as any other laptop platform. Your points are quite valid for the i-class devices, but there is nothing preventing anyone from installing linux on an M1 Mac once driver support arrives.
I always love some of the “Letters to my lord” regarding willow bark (aspirin).

I think his choice of Octave was really just to avoid using Matlab. I had taken several other courses around the same time, and they all used Matlab. All of the courses had arranged for a free Matlab license for the time the course was active. You also were given the option of buying the Student version for $99. That didn't last long, I haven't seen any courses offering a free license (or even using Matlab for that matter), and to get the Student license you have to be enrolled at a 4 year institution.

In those classes that did use Matlab, there were quite a few people sticking to Octave, though it wasn't 100% compatable. And when I got to Ng's course, I (and I imagine a whole lot of others) were really happy to see he went 100% with Octave. Had he gone the Matlab route, the old course would be pretty worthless now.

We'll never know what happened behind closed doors, but I think Matlab was sponsoring some courses in order to get new people hooked on Matlab and it just didn't pay off.
Stratechery did a great breakdown of the proposed Australian legislation[0]. Worth the read.

Your comment 'flies in the face' of the fact that suicide has not materially changed that much in 50 years [1] (it's up a couple of points since 1980) - and the fact that rates of suicide are currently, literally almost 1/2 what they were before WW2. [2]

Once again proving my point: flippant assertions that 'the world is hard' when actual data suggests just the opposite.

Taking your example, suicide, we're very materially, measurably, scientifically, much better off.

It's interesting he says that the guidelines "aren't the easiest thing to read." I'm a native English speaker and non-native Japanese speaker and I've found that it's far easier for me to go straight to the source with Japanese legal documents, including guidelines like these and even the actual text of the law.

I guess it's a cultural thing, but they're always written extremely clearly with basic grammar and everyday vocabulary, almost making it feel elementary if you're used to the English way of writing legal text as abstruse as possible.

I did make it to the end of your comment. Your comment presupposed the reason us nerds (how is this an insult on HN of all places?) didn't think the name was a good idea was searching and branding. I was saying my problem with it was overlapping executable names. This wasn't new information in the comment section as a whole, but judging by your comment it seemed to be new information to you.

It makes sense that you wouldn't use TeX at Redhat, but as a professional mathematician, I've never met anyone in math who doesn't use it. Different fields use different tools.

> we can all be better

Sure, but I didn't, and won't, directly attack you or your work. My sin was 1) omitting that it is ubiquitous in mathematical sciences in particular, and 2) simply not realizing you already knew the info about the executable name I brought up and just didn't care. Since you didn't even mention the only part I cared about with the name I thought it was new information for you. Show some charity.
Wow, was reading the bit about resident programs and was reminded of the cold capture vector! Reboot the machine and your program could jump over the reset... fun times ;-)

> And you would only take that approach as a judge in the United States if you believed that the Constitution was a nearly flawless document worth preserving in its original form.

Given that, despite the cases that get the most public attention at the highest levels, most judicial interpretation isn’t of the Constitution, that doesn't make sense; it also doesn't make sense otherwise, since the Constitution has had extensive (either from a textualist or an intentionalist perspective) radical changes within the perspective of originalism, so originalism is in no way incompatible with believing the 1789 Constitution needed major revision, even if one assumes that an originalist must be operating ends-first and looking to rationalize their desired end-state of Constitutional law, rather than honestly.
Speed is not the real issue. You can see that many high-speed roads have reasonable fatality rates (autoban vs. US interstates). Also, speed limits on highways in the US have been rising in recent years, mostly due to enhanced specs and safety of vehicles. Fatalities have also be declining during that time as well.

In my opinion, the real difference if the intelligence of the driver when it comes to laws, vehicle dynamics, and decision making. The US driver's test is a joke. You can see that other countries (think EU members) have tougher tests and fewer fatalities per mile, while in some cases also having higher speed limits.
Reminds me of that Bill Gates quote from 1998:

> Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though," Gates told an audience at the University of Washington. "And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

I am sure Apple loves that Hackintosh users are in the Apple ecosystem (often developing software for Apple machines), and many will eventually start buying real Apple hardware.

I don't think the author is wrong for wanting to use something different or write their own tool, but the YAML front matter format is much bigger than just Hugo. There are tons of libraries out there, and even Github has a special viewer for Markdown files with front matter.

Ruby: https://rubygems.org/gems/front-matter

Python: https://pypi.org/project/python-frontmatter/

Javascript: https://www.npmjs.com/package/front-matter

PHP: https://packagist.org/packages/webuni/front-matter

Go: https://github.com/gernest/front

Elixir: https://github.com/sebastiandedeyne/yaml_front_matter

Clojure: https://github.com/liquidz/frontmatter

And many of those languages have more than one library.

Like it or not front matter in Markdown files is a bit of a standard these days.

Water cooling gives you two things. One, huge thermal capacity for absorbing short bursts of massive heat. Two, the great flexibility of not hanging the radiator directly off of the heat source – which means you can spread the heat across (many) long radiators and they can be cooled by fans running at much lower RPM (that IS quieter than running 1-2 fans at high RPM which is what you get on a tower cooler), you can share the cooling capacity between CPU and GPU, you can have lots more capacity (and without putting stress on PCBs).

That's sometimes fun. But I also had lots of fun solving eg the first few Project Euler challenges with some math and pen and paper. (And sometimes a desktop calculator.)

Eg https://projecteuler.net/problem=2 "By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms." has a nice (almost) closed form solution that you only need a few integer multiplications and additions to evaluate.
I used to program PSX mod chips and install them 20 years ago from my door room in Jester Dormitory at UT Austin. I printed out an ad, taped it on my door and waited for the knocks to do business. Back in those days, I would burn chips with hard-to-find .bin files using generic EEPROM programmers that used a printer parallel port. And I never had to buy any chips because, at the time, I'd request samples from the big silicon distributors (e.g. DigiKey / Mouser) and they'd send me dozens for free.
You forgot two factors: capital (which excludes the vast majority of people om earth), and an enormous amount of luck.
