If any of the interviewers got a whiff of that, it could have easily torpedoed the interview loop.
It depends on what you use it for. I only use it to access a non-personal library, but Google Photos still shows all of my local photos in every account. That renders the app useless for me.

Google Photo only wants to be a full replacement for your Photos app and doesn't allow any other usage. That's user-hostile.

The worst part is that iOS 14 initially let me use Google Photos exactly the way I wanted, until Google (pretty quickly) added the block described by OP.
My years of inquiry have lead me to understand that white means wealthy. Poor white person is virtually an oxymoron: estranged or excommunicated children of wealth, but they may cease to be white. Poor caucasian with fair skin? Not much to see in the way of privilege there.

With :root, you can write css variables that can be accessed by any other element on the page (?).

So to implement a light and dark theme, you could have something like `@media (prefers-color-scheme: light){ :root { --bg-color: #FFF; }`, and then have the body element use that via `body { background: var(--bg-color); }`.

Never lived in the US (and haven't lived in the UK for years) but the idea that you need a SV salary to get health care which meets or exceeds that of the NHS sounds a bit suspect.
I’m super curious how much effort has gone into evaluating what works and making adjustments. I’m not trying to poo poo the idea if it’s working and doesn’t have a noticeable performance impact.

I know when I came back to web dev a year ago after five years fully backend this is exactly the idea I wanted to try. I asked the advice of a friend who’d stayed FE as dark mode rolled out and he said, basically it’s more trouble than it’s worth. I took that advice and built a dedicated dark mode for the project at that time. And I did so for my personal site which is a fairly intricate labor of design love (link in profile).

Honestly it was hardly any additional effort, and it wasn’t an afterthought. I prefer light mode generally but I like my own site’s dark mode better almost across the board. But there were so many details that I think would have been more work, and probably more difficult work, if I tried to start with filters and adjust.

FWIW, I don’t use it throughout but I do use it where I wanted programmatic control of color: I highly encourage looking at HSLuv or another perceptual color space to handle some of this.

University press release. The real science is too technical and boring, so the press release states the background of the research as the breakthrough, or makes wild unsupported speculative claims about applications, or both.

Windows has had theming for the system UI (which could effectively be treated as a "dark mode") for ages - but the innovation of allowing apps (such as your web browser) to ask the OS for the user preference comes from (or at least was popularized by) mobile OSes.
I think you are confusing OpIndia with Swarajya.

> Swarajya and why it is blacklisted by Wikipedia as a source

Wikipedia is barely a gold standard of anything. It is well known that it has left wing bias and especially much more prejudiced attitude towards pagan and and non-western cultures.

> Western conspiracy

I do not think there is a conspiracy at all. There is just bias. Bias that things that do not conform to certain views held by certain factions of western left leaning people are all false.
Apple should really stop allowing abuse of their APIs, from custom photo pickers that nobody needs (remember, if your app uses the default photo picker, it doesn't need any permission at all) to any app that decides to include a general-purpose cookie-less web view instead of just opening links in Safari.

Before this was a "feature phone" the Nokia 9000, i loved it.

When this was out I was using the OG Motorola Droid. I wanted one of these but they were not available on my carrier so I stayed on the Droid line. The hot-dog slide keyboard was amazing. I had full terminal control from these.

Nowadays I actually still rock a 2017 iphone SE; dimensions wise I don't want anything bigger in width or height, but i would gladly add some thickness to get a full tactile keyboard again.

Except these vehicles are not going to be immediately dumped onto all USPS parking lots. They are going to be built over a period of years. Adding an outlet for each vehicle would cost on the order of 1% of the vehicle cost and would be paid for in fuel savings within a couple months.

Look, I don't know where this idea came from that electricity is this hard problem. It's not. As it is now, many of these LLVs have to be fueled sometimes multiple times per week. Simply plugging into an external outlet not only is cheap but will actually save time.

People who do not have electric cars keep looking for an inventing some kind of "gotcha," but they really are this easy. You literally can just use a normal external outlet to charge them, and even if you want faster charging (totally unnecessary and probably undesirable for this application), it costs maybe $1200 to get an RV hookup (equivalent to L2). I charge from an old dryer outlet, although sometimes use an exterior 120V. It really is that easy. In fact, I don't know if big USPS locations have refueling depots like bus depots do, but if they went electric, they'd be unnecessary and could be removed.
Huh, well that makes a lot of sense. Three years ago when I was in University practicing for competitive coding we came across a limit in the performance (ms) we could get on even simple problems. The professor leading the practice poked away at his own solution to some problem for days because he couldn't get a better time than the top score online. Eventually he implemented his own versions of cin and cout. Needless to say he was pretty frustrated but there's just some problems that are hard to let go of without a solution.
It’s also worth mentioning that docker is a leaky abstraction. Docker employs tricks to create a perception of containerization. This means that if any steps are missed or forgotten your system could become unusable.

Examples:

- something failed and the app is partially up? Did it take out your ssh port? Good luck getting access to fix the issue

- app fails on boot? good luck kicking the tires interactively. best trick I’ve found is to tail /dev/null upon startup.
Aside from that it’s a fine tool. I just don’t need it. The only reason I do is because a technologist who came before me thought I did.

I find that we live in a world where abstractions between me and bare metal keep multiplying and I frankly don’t like it. Maybe I’m just an old fart now.

This leads me to asking a question I constantly ponder. Isn’t the need for yet another abstraction clear evidence that the lower abstraction is weak? I understand that abstractions of varying levels are useful in different situations. These thoughts are specifically pointed at helm, k8s and docker.
We don't need it 'now' - maybe the right way

--
If choice is due to complexity of dockers loc as was mentioned, then that should be compared against stability; as abstractions go, it is not leaky and pretty stable
--
Now-a-days it hardly takes a few minutes to use docker or podman; and few more to configure a free CI system; and you have a good base to start and grow and migrate to k8s or such when your services grow
Posting with a throwaway because...well... shrooms are still illegal and I'm an upstanding dude in my society! I took em exactly two times, and to me that's enough for one lifetime. It's not like I didn't like it, it's just, well, it doesn't seem necessary now. Not sure if that makes sense. Both times I had pretty much the same kind of trip. Not good or bad, just strange and a huge, permanent perspective shift. I'm not a drug guy so I don't know if how much I took was a lot or not, but it was always in a decent setting with a trusted "babysitter" to prevent me from getting into trouble. That's pretty important when you're going to remove yourself from reality for about 12 hours.

Both trips had four distinct phases. Never tried to put them into words before, but hey tonight I feel creative. First phase was kind of a fun, flexible feeling. A little euphoric. I remember thinking that things like math and physics were tangible objects I could touch and interact with. I could close my eyes and travel to distant planets, then open them and be back on earth. Could still recognize the friends I was with and the house I was in, but understood things were really out of whack. Pretty neat. Wish it would have just stayed that way honestly. Second phase I pretty much detached from reality. The visual and audio hallucinations were most vivid during this time. Felt like I was outside of myself sometimes and other times totally encased inside with no concept of "outside". Trying to do any kind of deliberate interaction with the real world (like picking up a glass or turning on music) was impossible. Third phase was scary because the logical part of me realized that I was totally detached from reality, and that in the actual reality I could be doing anything right now. Running naked in the street. Pissing on myself. Who knows, because I have no way of knowing what was actually going on. Pretty scary to not even be able to trust a single one of your senses and know you can't trust them. Didn't like it. Fourth stage is kind of hard to put to words. All concept of space, time and sensory input was pretty much obliterated. Especially time was totally screwed up. At the time, I had no idea whether I spent 100 milliseconds or 100 years tripping. Time didn't even seem to consistently go in one direction. A lot of things that in real life I was feeling anxious or fearful of, or even happy about, kind of just melted away because my entire sense of self melted away. My real life was like a distant memory, one that I wasn't sure ever even happened. Maybe I was always in this state! I spent most of the night like this, not sleeping (because, what was sleep even?), and finally slowly transitioned from it into reality as morning came and the effects wore off.

Overall, the experiences were not social ha-ha silly high times had with friends, they were deeply introspective and personal, and for the vast majority of the time spent under the influence, I didn't even realize my friends were around.

I think I got everything out of these trips that I needed to, and see no need to go on one again.
> Justifying the actions of cow-vigilantes who go around killing people over cows.

This is just ridiculous claim and you are projecting your own thoughts on the media. Cow smuggling in India is very much real and cows are stolen and killed and their legs broken and put in car trunks. This is a real problem that has lead to very unfortunate lynching of cow smugglers. This is sad and the article is only expressing this view. At no point the article of media has justified street violence.

> "What does a ‘Hindutva laboratory’ where Muslims live in perpetual fear of Hindus look like? Does it look like a place where a minor Hindu girl jumps into a well to kill herself after months of gangrape by a neighbouring Muslim family? Where her father is found hanging from a tree on the day she is scheduled to give her statement in the court? Where the local police is found to have sided with the Muslim perpetrators and mistreated the Hindu victims?"

And tell me what is wrong in taking the side of the girl who killed herself due to gangrape ?

> "The almost fully Muslim-populated Nuh district is where most cattle thieves in Palwal enter from. It’s a notorious hub of cattle-smuggling besides many other organised crimes."

And again what is wrong with this reporting ? It is just factual. Since majority of India does not eat beef, it is often the Muslims who are in this business and also in the cow smuggling business.

> "Mohammad Nizam, who is sitting beside Singh and belongs to a tiny population of Muslims in Sondhad, agrees. 'We eat chicken. We cannot think of touching cow meat,' says Nizam."

If at all the article is actually trying to balanced and going against your very claim.

Sorry, your horse is not high enough here.
It's just not that hard. I charge in uncovered driveway. With an exterior outlet. In the winter or summer, doesn't matter. It's simply not that hard.
If multiple cores/threads shouldn't be considered vertical scaling, what should?

Overclocking a single-core processor from 2.8Ghz to 4.2Ghz can only take you so far after all...
A locally hosted instance of devpi where pre-built python packages with the C dependencies compiled can get around that problem. Alternatively, the python application can be packaged with dependencies specified and can be installed using the distro package manager (with dependencies pulled from the same package repositories).
Google Photos is not circumventing anything. It’s using a public API that was provided to developers in order to detect and react to limited permissions.

If I paid for Google Photos and they won’t let me access my stored data without handing over even more data, then that feels outrageous.

But if I’m using it for free, then it’s a reminder that nothing is actually free. That business model likely can’t work as a “view only” retrieval service. (If it even works at all)
Yes, because it's still a single system image (one running OS with one process table).
- Staging: THe world ran well with people pushing PHP files onto live environments and it will continue to run well long after Docker gets replaced with something else.

- Versioning: It's pretty easy to ensure you have same versions on the same platform.

- Systemd: None of this means he does not have Pagerduty or similar setup.

Why do I say all of this? Because i ran really good businesses with similar architecture to his back in the day. Sure, I run docker now, but sometimes we tend to overcomplicate things.

If you have one app, and one server. There is No good reason to run a layer of Docker on it. None.

Elixir, Ruby, PHP, Node -- if your business has a monolith and can run on one server, guaranteed there is less to worry about when you remove Docker.
Nope, nothing like that. I don't understand why containers would be relevant here though? I thought they had to do more with things like isolation and deployment than with performance, and it's not obvious to me how an extra layer would speed things up?
> One thing a Docker container gets you for a simple Go app is the ability to run it on any platform that runs container images (like ECS); that's more flexibility than you get with something that needs a proper VPS to run. Everything knows how to run a Docker image.

It is kind of bonkers that we've gotten to a stage where more things know how to run a container than know how to run a statically linked binary.
I would have loved to see a comparison of Ubuntu Core against openSUSE MicroOS (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS), I wonder whether it would be up for the task they had in mind.

"In other words openSUSE MicroOS is an operating system you don't have to worry about. It's designed for but not limited to container hosts and edge devices.

...

- Read-only root filesystem to avoid accidental modifications of the OS

- Transactional Updates leveraging btrfs snapshots to apply updates without interfering with the running system

- health-checker to verify the OS is operational after updates. Automatically rolls back in case of trouble.

..."
Are you implying that circuit driving the lamp posts can handle multiple 15A load?
What does "delivering just apps" means?

And what's buildpacks? Seems like a more specialized docker.
The best part is that its not even an app. Just go to the link on your phone and press that button. Simple as.
> Do you really want to copy from a development computer to your production? ...

> Are you really sure that everything works exactly the same on different versions of GoLang? ...

He mentions he does have a build server which runs a 10 line shell script to download code and build the binary.

Builds happen on that server, and I assume it handles deploying the compiled binary (and systemd script?) to the target as well.

The build server would also have a "blessed" golang version. New guy code that uses new not-yet-blessed features would not compile.

> That VM with systemd died at 1am...

Your docker host died. All your containers die along with it. Docker alone cannot solve this category of issues anyway.
My vote is no. We will all be fine for a day without HN, as today proved. There have to be so many other ways HN can be improved, that will have more of an impact for HN users, in the remaining 364 days of the year.
And, the ironic thing is, in much of the US life is actually back to a very near normality. People get sick. People are dying. Restaurants/bars in some states are fully open, others are closed, others are at 50%, it just depends. Large events aren't really happening, though for differing reasons (meaning, I don't think right now its because people wouldn't attend; in some locations its because of regulation, in others its more likely just public image of the event-holder).

We went out to a bar in a state capital on Sunday, just to sit outside and get some food and drinks. I went inside to use the restroom, and you literally would not think there's a pandemic. Fifty to sixty people, probably 120% capacity (our city is at 50% capacity on bars; they don't care). No one wearing masks. Someone had their year old baby with them (also, definitely not allowed even outside covid). This wasn't a bar in the middle of nowhere, it was in the middle of a city of millions of people.

Normalcy means different things to different people and in different places. When I say the US will be first back to normalcy, it isn't because we'll be the first country with no cases, or everyone vaccinated (though, our vaccination numbers are insane); its because the people and the government just care less. For many people, nothing has changed; the world has changed a bit around them, but for better or worse (read: for worse) life already is "normal". And, for even far, far more people, like me, the only part of life that isn't "normal" yet is that I throw on a mask when I go in the store or to work. There's plenty of places around the world where that WAS their normal even before covid.

The majority of the US is not NYC/LA/Seattle/SF. It dominates the externally facing image, but its a far more nuanced and complex situation than what is happening in the major cities.
In my opinion whether those are red flags depends entirely on the context. How many people work on the project, code base size and age, etc.

I feel these days projects are often starting out with way too much complexity and shiny tools. It should not be about cutting out things, but instead about adding things at the point they really add value.

Those lamp posts aren't close to every space.

Are you going to run extension cords for the 150+ feet to each outlying vehicle? No?

Then you have to tear up asphalt to lay down new lines. That's not cheap, especially with a USPS that's so strapped for money right now (for political reasons).

I have no idea how great a developer Howell is, but it's simply not true that Homebrew was used by many Google employees. I was at Google at that time (2015), had a macbook for several years, and had never even heard of Homebrew.

Google is a linux shop, and you were generally not allowed to even keep the source code in your notebook.
That depends on how much Racket's garbage collector will let us (edit: I mean without eating all our CPU). Right now it's 1.4GB.

Obviously the entire HN dataset could and should be in RAM, but the biggest performance improvements I ever made came from shrinking the working set as much as possible. Yes, we have long-term plans to fix this, but at present the only reliable strategy for getting to work on the code is for HN to go down hard, and we don't. want. that.
Alpine is a common example, but you could use scratch and only copy in exactly what you need. Both of these are extremely lightweight.

Having a full OS is helpful for troubleshooting issues, for starters. If one of the nodes is having an issue, it's helpful to be able to log in and examine the state of things.

One pain point of docker/k8s is figuring out networking, and having a container with dns-utils installed is quite handy.
Wow, I hadn't heard of ugrep, and I'm glad you mentioned it. The fzf-style fuzzy matching is really nice, and filtering with magic bytes is interesting too. I don't really have any massive files that render GNU grep slow, so the speed is almost irrelevant to me, but the other features look powerful.
California has too many rules and the system is absolutely failing for the basic necessities of life.
Docker is not using chroot and iptables aren’t the most important part of “creating the perception”. The primary tools are Linux namespaces and cgroups. For many purposes, these abstractions aren’t too leaky (and sometimes quite useful without Docker, too)
But you add k8s now, so that three hosts can orchestrate three other hosts. Success!
A) The USPS is not technically a government agency.
B) They're pretty strapped for funding right now.
