I know many developers working on Linux laptops (web backends.) I do since 2009. Would I develop some GUI tool with the aim to sell it? No chance. Gnome or KDE, apt, yum, flatpack, snap, etc? No thank you. I take what's available and that's it. Ubuntu has proven for 11 years that's more than enough to give me a desktop I like (currently a heavily customized Gnome Shell) and pay my bills.
Fair enough... but then stating that the "Left Wing" has that position would be a generalization. Undoubtedly this type of generalization happens for the "Right Wing" as well, however it would be irrational to form conclusions based on it.

I think it is interesting that you mentioned Twitter, because in my opinion that somewhat highlights how conspiracy theories might form and spread.
Because Twitter is a proprietary platform where content might be aggregated or filtered, filter bubbles and echo chambers can form. Because of this, it is dangerous to assume that the people on Twitter accurately represent society. Thus, such assumptions can lead to conspiracy theories.
Personally, I've also removed Linux from my hardware because there's too much black magic going on with dbus/logind (quick question: what's the permission model used for seat management and where do I configure it?).

I've gone back to running OpenBSD/FreeBSD on the hardware and relegating Linux to VMs only, with all the hardware pains that used to plague Linux 15 years ago. But at least my OS is predictable and reliable again, and doesn't patronize me.
Going by TSMCs claim of 30% better power consumption at iso-speed would put the battery of the G14 at 11-12 hours. So that places the Apple system on a 25-36% better battery range, instead of 80-100%.

And still, there are more catches: Apple is probably driving the screen at 60Hz instead of 120Hz for the G14, and the screen tends to be one of the main drivers of battery life.

What I'm trying to say is that the talks revolve around the M1 vs x86 for battery consumption, but the big savings can probably come from other components in the system.
Would be curious to hear a bit more about:

You’re absolutely right. We started as slid.es which is still my personal favorite domain :)
Who is "they"? Who apparently represents all global advertising interests, and also represents all who desire to censorship for any reason?
Why not just use Nim? The language is rapidly converging on an ownership model similar to rust anyway and has better metaprogramming, more compile targets and a high development velocity (plus faster compile times).

Rust has a bigger ecosystem of course, but Nim's is pretty decent and you can use C, C++ and JS libs natively for anything else.

The point is that it isn't the tool defeating the security system, it's the person using it.
Kind of already exists on iOS thanks to accessibility tools (with more languages supported, like Chinese): after enabling it a "Speak" button appears when selecting text. Good idea anyway and nice to have executed it.

I didn't say the union was about minimum wage. I said it was about minimum wages. ie. What is the lowest you can pay a specific worker. For example, the actor's labor union has set the minimum pay at $750 a day. That's far more than the legal minimum wage, but it is the lowest a movie studio is allowed to pay an actor.

Therefore they have now negotiated the minimum wage for an actor. It's still higher than the legal minimum wage, but it's still a minimum wage. The studio would pay less if they could.

That's what unions are all about. Setting the minimum compensation for a particular worker.
In a sense, it's "safer" to install extensions which you can download yourself from source which is open and auditable.

Google's webstore does indeed remove extensions that exhibit bad behaviour, but they don't audit the extension source code along with all updates to my knowledge.
The "downloader" mentioned in that forum was a separate piece of software for managing downloads, like a janky proto-steam. To download the offline installers, you just need to go to the games section of your account on their website, and you can click on a game to download the installation files.
Is there some way you can do whatever it is AWS CDK does under the hood to provide language bindings to other languages for writing tests? That'd be killer. I want to be able to write the tests in my backend language.
Hate to say it, but this simply isn't true.

What Tesla brought to the game was insane performance for Electic cars, _and_ OTA updates for maps and software. And _just as importantly_ they actually update the software in meaningful ways.

Kia have none of these things.

Your statement is very similar to "Apple could slap their logo on any Chromebook and sell it for 2K!".
I could take your exact response and apply it to countless other conspiracy theories - many of which would be wild conspiracy theories in your eyes.

I suppose it's a great example whichever way you look at it: either as a textbook conspiracy theory, or of the effectiveness of attaching that undesirable label to inconvenient truths.
I came here to post pretty much the same thing.

Networking in k8s is the poorest designed aspect of Kubernetes. So much so, I'm honestly surprised it didn't kill off K8s early on. You still can't get proper service layer load balancing out of the box w/ iptables.

I'm not sure the history - it's the simplest thing possible, I guess, but doesn't perform very well at the most basic of tasks. To try and solve this, we have the current mess of service meshes, CNI, etc. It's going back to the middleware days of yore - which I think anyone with operational experience should know we really need to avoid. Having multiple layers of network proxies and masquerading between service calls, on an internal network, is just ridiculous and difficult to debug or operate at scale.
I wouldn't compare it with a central bank, more like a Casino that makes its own games and rules (except, as you say regarding refunds ;)).
Yes, I have a very bad opinion of mobile games.

>"In reality, the firm belonged to the CIA and Germany intelligence service, which could freely read what it encrypted. Information intercepted with the help of Crypto’s devices changed the course of events, including the Iran hostage crisis of 1979."

Does anyone have any further information on how exactly the Crypto AG device affected this event?
Making pods mutable would break the core benefit of what kubernetes imperial system does for you.

This GitOps 'nonsense' gives me a well defined and automatically backuped infrastructure setup with audit build in. It doesn't allow someone to snowflake around which is brilliant and forces you and your colleges to manifest stuff and not forgetting it and degrading your system over time (nix and nixos are also great examples of such systems)

This reminds me of the time i learned html and wanted to set new lines all over a text instead of using proper paragraphs and letting html take care of the proper formatting.

I would like to see a better/stronger statefulset though. As long as this pod is alive, make sure its state is not interrupted. Like allow a pod to be migrated to another node.

Nonetheless, i'm in the middle of setting up kubernetes with kubeadm and cilium network. Its already really easy to do so. It will just get more easy and more stable over time and its already great.

When you look at the storage example: yes its more difficult then just using a hard drive. But you ignore the issue with one hard drive: Backup, checksum / bit rot and recovery. With a storage layer, you can actually increase replica count, you can backup ALL storage volumnes automatically.

the same with networking: With cilium you can now have a lightweight firewall with dns support.

It is much more critical for the whole industry to start rebuilding software to be more cloud/container native. This will reduce the pain points we have right now and will make it more resilient to operate. For example Jenkins: Instead of one big master, have a ha setup for your working queue, a pod for a dashboard and schedule workers on demand.

My personal conclusion: Don't use it, if you don't need it. If you need it, embrace the advantages.
I wonder what use case you're talking about, I don't have a lot of cases where re-render needs to be dealt with, unless I'm making a web app like a multi player photoshop in the browser, in those cases I won't use SSR. For most information based sites, e.g. Hacker News, Twitter, there's no need to track change and re-render, all the data can be ready on the server side like querying database or making request to third party APIs, then it'll just be piecing HTML strings.

I think this “missing middle” is a common pattern in expert tools. The economics are challenging because people quickly move through the skill level where the tools are most useful.
My guess is "art".
Just because it’s a controversy doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a valid or reasonable one. People make controversies on ludicrous grounds all the time, especially in the fake news era. If a local restaurant charges $5 for a milk shake which is very popular, grows to become a National chain and still charges $5 for their shakes, it is not reasonable to claim that they are only able to charge $5 due to their market power. I don’t care how many people disagree with me, I will continue to claim they are clearly full of it.

That doesn’t mean the now National chain isn’t doing other things that are anti-competitive, or that their other business practices must be ok, but clearly the market has decided the shake is worth $5.
For anyone who's curious to peep at the code: https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM-3-BFG/tree/master/neo/sw...

But it mostly seems like a simple, reverse-engineered, purpose-built player for their own use, so probably nothing that the open source community will have much use from.
Because they're the best scam in town! I'm assuming it depends on the developer, though. Some are on Itch instead, mostly very indie devs.

I haven't used global accelerator but it doesn't look like the same. On landing page it says: "Your traffic routing is managed manually, or in console with endpoint traffic dials and weights".
Yea I just wanted to clear up the inspiration bit. I’m sure if we hadn’t done it someone else would have.
Great article, especially considering how careless most "data scientists" are when they assume the arithmetic mean is going to be meaningful (for example, if you are averaging frequencies, you want the harmonic mean; if you are averaging interest rates, you want the geometric mean, etc.)

However, there are two big caveats:

(1) You can't use any symmetric binary function, for the mean to make sense, f must be at least injective and monotonic (and you probably want it to be continuous as well). If you pick a suitable f, many useful properties of the mean are respected.

(2) In general, for an arbitrary choice of f the resulting mean won't be homogenous, which is disqualifying for most practical applications (because, for example, the mean would not be guaranteed to have the same dimensions as the elements). Restricting ourselves to functions in the form $f(x) = x^a$ for $a \in \mathbb{R} \setminus 0$ yields a well-behaved collection of means (Holder means), guaranteed to be homogenous.
As a bonus, for any set $S$ of positive real numbers, if we let $GM(S)$ be the geometric mean of $S$ and $M_{a}(S)$ be the mean of $S$ for some $a$, you can prove that $\lim_{a \rightarrow 0} M_{a}(S) = GM(S)$.
I think they wouldn’t do that since they might feel it’s competitive with their current Adobe Animate product.

Absolutely. Their comment reeks of privilege but people are too unaware so you get downvoted with no engagement, no one can articulate why you are wrong. We are absolutely fucked. These are the geniuses building the tools being flogged to our society as the ‘future’.

>As a user of Apple ecosystem, I absolutely like that Apple is the curator and arbiter for the ecosystem. I knowingly pay a premium for that.

IMO your argument is NULL, if there were alternatives like an Open source store, a Google, Microsoft and Amazon store on iOS you would not be forced to use them. Check the Android model, most people are using the Google store and the GIANT benefits is that if Google decides or is forced to not allow an application you are not screwed, you can go around that.

Again, if you want to consume ONLY Apple approved content then nobody would force you to not do it, see Android.
Seeing as how this site is in part for job opportunity self-promotion, it seems like a decent way to weed out non-technical employers.
We really need a simpler language that has the same ownership model. I like Nim because I can compile it without threading support, and for RISC-V (albeit 64-bit, wish it had 32-bit support too..).

Overall, I like it, but I could not justify using it in an enterprise setting without knowing that the direction of the language is going towards what is now the established minimum safety, which is borrow checking and no UB.
That’s not the case here though. The design I linked is a legitimate attempt at solving a real problem. Whether it works as well as intended or not is a separate issue.
May be there can be another form of Kubernetes, that is even simpler, and opinionated.

A project that picks one of [firecracker, gvisor, runc] and aggressively supports it, and combines it with a barebones network overlay that assumes nodes are running on a single subnet. Perhaps, also assumes that the control plane runs on dependable hardware and not distribute everything.
May be it exists already, and I just don’t know it...

Fewer moving parts the better for people like me who are not looking at huge scale but still scale enough to span several servers in a few racks.

Actually, creating a hard link "ln" (no -s) would be the best choice. With the hard link, there are two directory entries pointing to the same data on the disk. At that point, removing the original with a "rm" unlinks the original but the new directory entry for the file remains.

As a bonus, ln will not overwrite the destination file if you mistakenly try to "ln" it to an existing file.

I'm about to switch jobs for this reason. There is no point in trying to change an autocratic culture when you have little power.
I think kubernetes is still lacking a load balancer that can run on bare metal. Do you want to get a couple of VPS severs to run a cluster? Forget about it or install Nginx and manually do reverse proxy to appropriate web app. I was hoping that MetalLB would solve it but these tools are written for service providers with their own routing etc. There is nothing for a small guy just wanting to deploy his blog and don't want to pay Amazon or Google for setting up a cluster.

Apple didn’t start any dark mode trend. They’ve actually been on the trailing edge in such matters, rather than the leading edge. There’s been a repeating cycle of rigidity, followed by flexible theming support, then back to rigidity by way of allowing apps to control things, then introducing a new kind of theming support (always weaker than the last iteration); and each time you introduce the new hotness, it’s touted as a groundbreaking revolution, completely ignoring the fact that ten and twenty years ago the system probably had the same functionality. Windows has gone through a couple of iterations of this loop; Android has as well; macOS has too, though it was never as strong as Windows’; Windows Phone was always dark; iOS never really gave the flexibility before last year. In the current cycle, Windows and Android both had it for more than a year before Apple.

I think the dark mode theming capacity will probably be more permanent this time through, but it could still fizzle out within ten years.
This article mentions an important fact about forward secrecy:

>Perfect forward secrecy is useless, it's important to note, if users don't delete their messages periodically.

Then:

>The Signal app offers disappearing messages that are automatically deleted after a certain time limit.

Which is not turned on by default. The user has to somehow know that they have to do this to get the benefit of forward secrecy. This seems all too common with contemporary encrypted messaging stuff. Really great features that depend on having the users behave in a way they normally would not.

Of course the app can do this wrong simply by failing to do a secure delete that actually removes the messages from the storage device. In the end the actual communications protocol doesn't make very much difference in the face of counter productive implementations; conceptual and/or technical.
What rescued kubernetes was adoption by AWS and Google. If you want to host Kubernetes yourself it is still a waste of time broadly speaking.

Maybe that exact competitive dynamic has driven prices down to 30%. After all, the dynamic you describe has to end somewhere. It can’t just keep pushing down to zero and all the competitors in the market need to be competitive on price.
Not to take anything from how great it is to have something like this, some of the supported sites have heavy rate limiting and bot detection and using this with your account can easily get you banned.

For example, I had immense difficulty parsing my own saved posts from instagram (used a one-off script that runs in the browser).
Dark/light mode is just the most minimal version of theme support possible. It is a small bounce-back from the transition that happened about 10 years ago, from themeable pick-your-everything GUIs like winXP to our-designers-know-best unconfigurables like iOS.
Maybe don't get into an argument about semantics when it's pretty clear what the person you replied to originally meant. Half the comments in this thread are reacting to the negative comments about Apple in this thread. Typically for other big tech companies you don't see that because there's a huge bias towards Apple on HN. Idk why you went totally off the rails because of "cowardly" downvotes but I assume that you received them because you were very clearly misconstruing my statement.

It seems like Slack is massively overvalued.

At my current organization which has a small team of around ~10 people, we simply could no longer justify the astronomical per-seat price tag, the needlessly convoluted admin UI, among a host of other trivial/annoying things like the syntax restriction on channel naming, and the constant whack-a-mole of maintaining user permissions/roles so that someone wouldn’t install some cheeky chat bot that asks everyone what they want for lunch.

Im not naive enough to think that Slack isn’t aimed squarely at enterprise whale clients, but with the emergence of other workplace chat platforms like the ones built into GSuite and O365, and the ease of which you can spin up something open source like Rocket Chat or Discourse (IIRC Discourse has a self-hosted option), I really have a hard time understanding why this tech is so appealing.

Pepper in Slack’s un-impressive growth during COVID-19, it seems pretty clear that the other shoe might drop—and even a death knell acquisition from Salesforce might start looking appealing.

Also "simply not True" is you being incorrect. OTA always existed, it's just EXTREMELY expensive to send OTA. Tesla only has a few vehicles so it's cheap compared to Ford. And they take today's Stockholders money to pay for those updates.

They’re the victims of demand aggregation commoditizing the supply side of the market. It’s not so much a choice as it is a requirement to access the market.

I think if developers set their price and Steam listed their 30% as a “Steam Fee” you’d see outraged gamers.
If that happens on your home computer - fine, lesson learned. But we are talking about production in a company. I'm pretty sure, that not anyone had to tell the boss: Sorry, I just deleted an important file from production without a backup.

It's not a hugely useful bit of information, but I found out a while ago that most Kobo eReaders are able to handle ZIM files.
