Yes, the mainframe business is 'thriving' in that environment. Much like how SARS-CoV-2 has been 'thriving' in a non-immunized population who don't like wearing masks...
This is the technique I use. It has made me "dependant" on it though, as in I really struggle to sleep without listening to a podcast.

My team is also using this tool on a daily basis, and it has made the process of debugging obscure bugs and spotting regressions fast and easily.
Highly recommended!
These are just the first examples I could find. Fires account for 20%+ of all DC outages in the industry. But taking the time to find a reason to invalidate each one, it seems like you have your mind set.
The "got called out in a meeting with many others present" part is something which I don't think should have happened at all—regardless of whether or not the developer in question felt shame. No good can come from publicly calling someone out in a meeting like that. It's childish and unprofessional.

I feel the best courses of action are to remind the developer privately and/or to make a general "remember to read the docs" statement to the whole team in the meeting.
What advantage does Rust have over Julia? I can think of a lot of disadvantages, but not many advantages.
I've done a lot of research and planning/visualization of it. What kind of crops do you plan to raise? Is it mostly like a big garden for subsistence with some sales of the extra, or will it be mostly commercial?

The unfiltered ones include, incredibly, the private use area of Unicode. You know, the code points that might show up as any symbol at all depending of the font?

About a year ago, (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22741817) someone here used what they thought was the Apple logo symbol, but some fonts (which follow the ConScript (unofficial) Unicode Registry for private use characters) might show a KLINGON MUMMIFICATION GLYPH instead!
The first one most people run into: Nim is roughly as performant as Rust, but it's easier to learn because it's garbage collected. But it's also not garbage collected, if you prefer (with caveats). Want a different flavor of garbage collected? We have three (with caveats)!
The main issue with the article is the imperative title. It's not "here's why I like to write in this style." It's telling the reader to write that way. Sorry but no, I won't write the way you do because you tell me to.

edit: the point of my comment is not that I won't write that way. It's that the author is talking about his own preferences, but the title makes it sound prescriptive. In a way it illustrates the opposite point. Opinions are nuanced, and a two-word title written in the imperative doesn't convey the nuance of what the author is trying to say.

Ask HN: Favorite educational youtubers to listen to without watching?
I.e. channels where it's possible to understand (almost) everything by just listening and not actively watching all the time. I'm interested in all topics really as long as it's quality content and teaches me something.

Personal favorites are:

- Crash Course (they're all good but the history and history of science ones are especially good for listening in the background)

- Economics Explained - lots of great content, very easy to follow along with just audio

- PolyMatter - Some geopolitical and business stuff, relatively few videos but they're all quite good

- CGPGray, pretty random topics from Tolkien lore to geopolitics and the future of humanity. Some need video but most don't and they're all super interesting
>> If engaging with interactions is taking too much time away, one could simply, not engage with them.

>This choice isn't always as simple as it sounds. There is, strange as it is, a real reputational risk to be known as a disengaged open source maintainer.

IMO there is middle ground. One can engage with a canned response stating support for non paying customers is provided on a "Best effort" basis and current high commercial demand doesn't allow the maintainer to offer as much time as she/he would like to for free...

Reasonable people will understand, perhaps some of them will even convert to paying customers. Bad PR from unreasonable people will happen regardless.
> a database that reliably preserves all of your customers' data when any one of your servers goes down (this unfortunately excludes many databases and makes the usual "just use Postgres" a poor choice, now flame me to high heaven)

You mean as in, backups have the latest data? Every transactional DB does that, postgres included. You just have to back-up the correct data (what is on the docs, for every one of them).

If you mean any DB server can go down at any time and the others must take over without losing any data, then your best bet is to hire a postgres expert to set it up for you. Both Oracle and SQL Server nominally do that, but they have flaws that their experts can't correct, and you won't be able to set any of them up without acquiring some expertise first.

The iOS and I believe macOS emoji picker let’s you use any language to search for emojis. ハート brings up hearts for example.
I dont think they are being lambasted, they should just put a warning on their site. Email is a very messed up ecosystem, and people who use email don't understand that. This is very cool, there should just be a disclaimer that this is a side project and will break often. Email is notoriously a pain in the ass if it's a full time job, much less a side project that's losing money. He's not selling this to quirky techies, his primary advertisement was tic tok. That's kind of irresponsible to not warn people this should just be for fun.

Tell HN: HackerEarth will not unsubscribe you
I was pursuing a job opportunity, and the company was gracious enough to sign me up for a coding test from Hackerearth. I figured out that I did not want to work for said company, so I unsubscribed from HackerEarth email. Three times now. Despite this, Ive received at least 1 email per day from them with the most annoying(to me anyway) sort of sales tactics.
12factor Elixir/Phoenix Releases
I think the key thing is whether the people making the feature requests are paying you. We get feature requests all the time, but they are the people paying us thousands of dollars, so those take priority. If they aren't, or it doesn't appear that anyone else paying us will use it, then they shouldn't take priority. This is a way of whittling down what is really valuable to people, rather than just they took long enough to write an email about a cool thing they really think you should do.
Indian food was the first cuisine I thought of when reading GP's comment. Indian food is, at least in my opinion, just as incredible and delicious as Italian food while utilising many spices and ingredients. You also get unique kinds of flavours that are impossible to achieve using European approaches to cooking, and to miss out on these because of culinary snobbery seems extremely sad.
First, I apologize for the following, I mean no harm.

Based on some of the comments about notifications.

This whole thing hits me in the core of an issue I have with people and how they handle technology (especially when it comes to notifications).
I can't stress enough how I hate to see people's email inboxes or the screen phones. I don't understand why there is so many pending notifications. When it comes to email, thousands, I'm not bloody kind, thousands of unread emails. When it comes to apps in their phones, hundreds.
And don't get me started with group notifications (IMs)...
Technology, in my view, supposes to enhance us... but I think people are becoming dumber and lazy.

So... this app makes no sense to me. I wouldn't pay for it but clearly I'm a moron and way off the curve so not the ideal client.
Not everyone who wears glasses qualifies for lasik or can wear contact lenses. I’m lucky that I can wear contact lenses and get pretty good correction, but LASIK and PRK are off the table for me (I’d still need glasses all the time).
Thank you for bringing back the magic of geocities + myspace to the zoomers. That's a complement.
But using the cloud probably got them here sooner, so I think the tradeoff is complex and not at all unreasonable for an early stage startup. I'm really hoping that they succeed though, and can figure out a business model at a lower subscription cost :)
I'm one of those people who use keyboard shortcuts sparingly. I actually prefer the mouse, even for things I do over and over everyday. Why? I'm not quite sure, but I've tried using the keyboard in the past with vim or whatever, and I just prefer to use my mouse for most things. It was hard to remember the combos, even after a few weeks. I do use cli quite a bit, but that's slightly different. If I used office more, maybe that'd be the application which converted me to more keyboard use. I basically only use vscode, slack, and Firefox/Chrome everyday.
This has been a usual business model for larger vendors (and servers): selling appliances. Google also did it (I think it was for intranet search), it was also one of the story threads in the Silicon Valley sitcom (see "the box").

When I launched my first startup, I also did something similar. Though we were selling a service: we'd deliver it as a 'box' (my co-founder actually called it 'the box' - before SV was aired :) ). It was in 2011, and we didn't have the RasPi back then so we used something called the SheevaPlug [1] . It didn't have a display port, which we'd needed later on, but it was great for plug'n'play'n'forget installation. (Actually one of these is still running at one of our first customers, even though the backing service has been shut down ~5 years ago. Probably nobody knows any more what it's doing and they just think 'better not touch'.)

It's the easiest and most logical way to deliver some of the software/services. It mostly depends on whether it's something you want to interact with on your own machine (and a single machine) or whether you want to have it always running and/or multiple people to access it.

You might be interested in controlling Turbo Boost directly (e.g. google find this: http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/)

Your computer will be slower. Depending on the task that may or may not be welcome. Some video conferencing can eat all available CPU/GPU cycles and generate fan noise; this is probably a good time to manually disable Turbo Boost. Unless you want more sword fighting time, disabling during compilation tasks is probably not a great time.

Better battery life and less fan noise are benefits, though!
Most complicated writing of the kind PG is complaining about isn't beautiful, though. It's verbose and clumsy and full of less good replacements for common words, like "purchase" instead of "buy", "utilize" instead of "use" and so on. Or it has flowery phrases that add nothing. A recent example is Github's recent blog post about a security vulnerability they fixed [0]. Its opening paragraph:

"On the evening of March 8, we invalidated all authenticated sessions on GitHub.com created prior to 12:03 UTC on March 8 out of an abundance of caution to protect users from an extremely rare, but potentially serious, security vulnerability affecting a very small number of GitHub.com sessions."

"out of an abundance of caution" adds nothing other than the faint smell of a desperate attempt to reassure the reader. The sentence would read much better without it.

I'm all for rich language where it's useful or appropriate (a novel, etc) but in most cases I just want to know what's up.

> there currently is no economic model in the western world, which supports a successful market-based model for nuclear power.

I keep seeing this argument, and every time I do, I think "who cares?" Why do we care if it's economically viable? We're facing catastrophic planetary change. Act now, worry about the economics later. Take a fraction of the military budget and build a bunch of state-owned nuclear power plants. Why does the market even need to enter into it at all?

I keep beating this dead horse, but if you want to make nuclear economically viable, there's an incredibly easy solution: make the price of fossil fuels incorporate the cost of their externalities. When gas is $30/gallon, nuclear won't seem so bad. We should have been taxing them to all hell 20 years ago, but what better time than now? Why are we letting supply and demand determine such a crucial matter?
You may also enjoy the NYT's no-recipe recipes, which are freeform, forgiving recipes.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/68861692-nyt-cooking/14326423-no...

I see a lot of complaints about the state of recipe blogs in this thread. My solution was to look for better sources. NYT Cooking, Serious Eats, King Arthur, Bon Appetit, WaPo's Voraciously, etc. The recipes are well written and tested, and often have separate articles that go into more detail for the curious or confused.
Seems pretty expensive, considering fantastical gives me the same thing for half the price and it works on my phone/iPad too.
I don't know how a mechanical microphone switch would have helped in that case.

That seemed to be a UX issue. The board was on a call with other members, and didn't realize that there was another participant. Some news stories just called it a "hot mic" issue because it is easy to glance and get an idea of what the story is about, but that's not exactly what happened.
Great point, it's something we've thought a lot about. The reason we built Superpowered in the first place was because we felt Google Calendar was too cluttered. We took the 20% of it we use 80% of the time, and put it in the menu bar.

We want to take that same philosophy with every other platform. Only show the essential parts you need to do your work.

It's a big challenge, as you can tell we put a lot of thought into design, and we will continue to as the platform expands.
Totally agree i think this can be doable but we just have to have enough customers for the product

Any ideas on pricing like how should we be pricing it
> overly

Again I think this is an unfair characterization of the author's point.

All that being said, I think your original point, that you can have open source without engagement and minimal PR risk, is doable on reflection, you just need to break away from the usual open source mould. So e.g. that means not using GitHub, GitLab, Sourcehut, etc. to host your code. Instead just provide a contact method that customers can use to request code on demand such as an email address or mailing address.

Minimize any other contact surface area and enforce trademark heavily so that any users re-uploading the code to other sites must change the name.

Basically make sure to hide the official open source channel away from non-paying users.

At that point it's another interesting question whether it's still worth it to the author to go open source (since you're giving up most of the stated commercial benefits of open source, especially those surrounding reputation), but it's a way of minimizing the reputational risk of non-engagement.

And of course sometimes you may judge the reputational risk to be acceptable.
A mainframe is effectively a mail-order on-premise cloud, from the hardware up, developed 3 to 4 decades before things like OpenStack or Kubernetes. Mainframes supported hardware-accelerated virtualization way back in the early 1970s. You could have thousands or tens of thousands of VMs running on a single machine (granted, a machine the size of a room).

One of my older greybeard coworkers tells stories of how sometimes an IBM employee would show up at 6 AM to replace a water pump (or some other component) that had phoned home the night before to report that it was beginning to fail. The hardware is super reliable and resilient but also heavily instrumented to detect & resolve failures before they caused problems. And they would send their techs out to pre-empt those problems before the customer ever noticed anything.

Not that it would have been too much a problem if it had failed - because there was so much hardware redundancy built into those machines.

One of his other stories, is a tech demo that IBM did for his company, where they put a mainframe in the back of a trailer and would drive it around to customer sites. The demo consisted of starting a huge computation on the machine, and pulling up a screen that showed the available hardware resources, then a tech would reach into the machine and start pulling out CPUs and RAM, and you'd watch live as it detected that the hardware had disappeared and shuffled the jobs around to other hardware resources without crashing. And then the tech would start swapping hardware back in, and it would add the resources back into the pool and start doing work with them once again.

All handled by the hardware and the OS.
I guess I was thinking ease of voting rather than having to trek to a polling station. But yeah I see your point especially in places like the UK where no one complains much about the system.
Hoo boy. Here's what that reads like to me: "Let's pretend that George Floyd wasn't murdered on account of his race, and black Americans don't have anything to worry about, so really this is all their fault."

America is "obsessed with race" because racism is still a problem, and telling the people who are the targets to ignore those problems is just... awful. It does take until the second-to-last paragraph to Godwin itself. "Who are the real Nazis: the ones who are killing people on account of their race, or the ones who call them out about it? Cuz that's also racist."

There are tons of problems with the way race is talked about in America. But there's certainly nothing to be gained from the contribution of the white guy going "Hey, I read a bunch of newspapers and I just don't see the problem. You're just making it up." People are going to keep being loud about it as long as all of the genuine problems are swept under the rug like that, without even a pretense of looking at them.

It's all at such a distant level of abstraction. Money doesn't represent gold, it represents an intangible set of contracts and rights and regulations and coordination. Stocks don't represent investment in a project or dividends coming in, just a hypothetical ability for somebody to potentially buy control of a company that nobody will ever do. Your wage doesn't represent the value you create. Your engagement ring's cost doesn't reflect anything other than a collective craziness and manipulated supply weirdness, kinda. Your job is at least 50% bullshit (or scrolling around HN/fb/reddit). The number of hours you "work" isn't what you (should) need to subsist.

There's too much of our lives that's as distanced and separated from fundamentals as GME.
