I'm presuming there's some standard way to discover this service, like it's on a standard broadcast address.

Yes, it would need to be supported by browsers.
What Really Happened During the Texas Power Grid Outage?
Yeah, and I think sqlite is really comparable to this setup. Use Access to design the database (optional), and access (no pun intended) the jet database engine via ODBC,OLE-DB or DAO ..Jay! Code like it's 1999 :-) ... I remember the jet db engine offered at least transaction level READ_COMMITTED (in comparison to mysql's MyISAM) and "it was quite fast" until reaching about 1mio rows or so (of course, db design, index etc determines "fast", that was just a basic rule of thumb I remember)...
To extend space in any filesystem in the root volume group on AIX you need space in /tmp. Years ago while working for some major bank I proposed to create such dummy file in /tmp exactly for the reason of extending filesystem. It saved us several times :)
Exactly this.

My name has an accent in it. My legal name doesn’t, but I, not the government, am the arbiter of what my real name is.
Somebody will notify you. If the service is just for yourself, you don't need monitoring at all.
I'm not — memory layout and memory management are (fairly obviously, I would think) intimately related. In particular, pointer-heavy memory layouts put way more stress on the garbage collector. Java's choice of making objects mutable, subtypeable and have reference semantics, basically forces them to be individually heap-allocated and accessed via pointers. On the other hand, if you design your language so that you can avoid heap allocating lots of individual objects, then you can get away with a much simpler garbage collector. Java only needs spectacular GC technology because the language is designed in such a way that it generates a spectacular amount of garbage.
Disk space for an active server is so cheap; why not alert at 30%?

They sometimes don't. The article even acknowledges this:

> Copy commands and even deletions can fail

I've had that happen too many times, so I don't know why would fill up my disk with a hacky spacer file, which surely can also fail to be deleted when the disk is already full.

Quantum teleportation requires sending classical bits at normal speeds, so the headline is just wrong.
In 1981 you could replace "computer" with "ai" and it would have made sense. I suspect that forty years from now it will still be true.
I thought about that --- particularly for Firecracker, which has so much test code --- and no, it's in the actual code too.

I think Rust does more than any other mainstream language to mitigate this problem. I'm just saying, it still exists in Rust; it's just called a panic on unwrap/expect, instead of "null pointer exception".
In some sense, they're not in the same category. The old joke "Emacs is a great operating system, it just needs a good text editor" is basically true.

If you like vim, try Doom Emacs or Spacemacs.

If I were going for pure text editing today I might want something like https://kakoune.org/ whose selection->action pattern seems better than Vim's action->selection pattern.

> Mobs going around digging up whatever they can to bully people?

Vulnerable parts of our community coming forward with their experiences allowing us to understand the pain they experienced due to tone deaf comments and actions by those that were held in high esteem.

I would like the community to be welcoming to people of every background. Actions and comments that constitute harassment absolutely should not be tolerated, especially from those who are entrusted with power.
Corporate masters didn't like it.
Check out ijq...used it this past week to deal with some ugly nested FHIR data. Not perfect, a bit laggy, sometimes crashes your terminal, but really cool in a lot of cases https://sr.ht/~gpanders/ijq/
I don't mean to imply that, it is a nice city. The parent is actually more likely referring to a city further west.
Everyone is for diversity until we get to an autistic person, then they go act surprised when an autistic person predictably has a social lapse and demonize them because their disability was on display.

None of this excuses the weird statements and viewpoints and offense people have felt but we should ask RMS what he actually meant and have him describe before making the call. A lot of it is probably a misunderstanding and he will continue to offend people because that is the nature of his disability. It’s not intentional malice. He probably doesn’t harbor any ill will or desire to offend.

This is just something that happens when you are autistic. It can trigger a personal investigation process where one tries to figure out the social mistake, but they still slip up .
Exactly. It's not Red Hat anymore, it's IBM.
To enable deep work, I've started incorporating offline sessions (1 hour long on average) into my day ("offline pomodoros").

I only go back online when I need a mental break or when I'm completely blocked.

It seems to help with productivity and improve my well-being.

I've also got a second used phone which I use for work purposes (e.g. 2FA, Calendar reminders and production alerts) to reduce distractions. I don't find the work phone's presence to be distracting.
It's a really bad problem on iOS where a full disk won't allow you to delete anything and a reboot puts your phone in a boot loop.
If he committed a crime then he should suffer consequences, but this kind of politicking and posturing is unproductive.

You’ll end up with spineless yes people who don’t push back and also do nothing but do PR (virtue signal the latest fad).
4.) and 5.) don't quite add up to me. if people moderately to strongly preferred the local grocery store over walmart, surely they would accept a modest price hike to keep the local store in business? these steps only make sense if the people didn't actually care that much about the local shop to begin with.
This is a really perfect illustration of both parts of the parent comment.
I hate the sound of my wife's iphone on vibrate. She has it on silent but then I hear this annoying sound from across the room. I would definitely be a fan of some nice sound instead of vibrate or the common ping sounds.
It’s not like you have to root through garbage cans to find the things that RMS has said. They’re all on his blog, the whole time.
That's disappointing. I love RMS and I love Redhat. I guess I'll just switch to Windows. Does Microsoft love RMS?
This new release makes tutorials like the below easier to follow and quicker to set up. Rather than setting up a VM manually, inletsctl can do it for you.

https://inlets.dev/blog/2021/02/11/secure-letsencrypt-tunnel...

The idea of inlets is to set up a self-hosted tunnel which has no rate limits, port, domain or usage restrictions. Competing with a managed service (SaaS) tunnel means needing to automate the developer experience.

If you use inlets or have heard of it (there's ~ 8k GitHub stars now), let me know how you get on with the new feature.
Monitoring doesn't prevent random things from spiking, and something like this makes it easier to recover.

Quotas are tricky to set up when things are sharing disk space, and that could easily give you a false positive where a service unnecessarily runs out of space.
It doesn't help that the base model of many phones had ridiculously undersized storage for so many years.

"I have an unlimited data plan, I'll just store everything in the cloud." only to discover later that unlimited has an asterisk by it and a footnote that says "LOL it's still limited".

As many others have said, as soon as the login came up, I closed. Nice idea though.
If you think the stuff he said about pedophilia is OK, I don't know what to tell you. This is not a mob, these are normal people who are disgusted.

I quote: "We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that
she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was
being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her
to conceal that from most of his associates."
Between the horrible centralisation of Linux under red hat, the treatment of centos users, jumping in bed with Microsoft and selling out to IBM, I have no appetite for a round of moral high grounding from a cookie cutter corporate mouthpiece.
They still have the old calc.exe from Windows 7 in the source tree. You get it if you the LTSC version of Windows. I wish there was a way to get it on regular Windows.

They seem to be going the other direction; notepad.exe is now updated from the App Store in the Dev channel.
What constitutes harrassment is defined by internal state of the receiving side.

I don't think we should be obligated to read everybody's mind at all times. The only standards communication should be held to is honesty and good will.

> ...YOU are the one who claimed everyone that was complaining had a legitimate complaint about law and order and enforcement of local codes.

Read again. I never claimed that 100% of complainers had legitimate motivations or complaints. And YOU responded by cherry-picking a single person who had dumb motivations, and acting as though he is representative of everyone else, and the point I am making. This is the definition of a cherry-picking and a strawman.
Lots of comments assailing this approach as a poor replacement for monitoring miss the point. Of course monitoring and proactive repair are preferable - but those are systems that can also fail!

This is a low cost way to make failure of your first line of defense less painful to recover, and seems like a Good Idea for those managing bare-metal non-cattle systems.
You don’t need to create a new account for each comment you make, you know.
Politics aside,

Telepath is premised on post ephemerality and AFAICT also does not allow text cut and paste.

No stopping screen shots etc but ftr.

* that there is no stopping screen shots etc. is arguably the real topic; until such time as there is true revolt, surveillance capital renders inert any idea of personal invisibility, opting out, or avoidance of future accountability for contemporary actions, as you suggest.

As well known in this forum, there is no escape, not using incognito mode, not using TOR, not opting out of the sociopathic Facebook ecosystem which happily profiles you based on tagging and public data... we live in the panopticon.

Those of us who are not stainless steel rats should moderate our expectations accordingly. :|
I admit I only used sqlite through the go driver (https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3) where using fts5 amounts to one flag during the compile phase.
The meat situation was kind of interesting actually. At the beginning of the lockdown I remember going shopping for lots of shelf-stable foods. Very perishable stuff like meat or fresh veggies were out or hard to find (and yes freezing meat works fine I know). However, lots of stores had tons of shelf stable boxed and canned goods and for meat jerky and other dried meats which are simple to boil and turn into simple soups in case of emergencies -- and yet nobody was really buying them at that time.

I think I "prepped" for the worst by buying a 10 lb bag of flour, 40 lb of rice, 5 lbs of oatmeal, a sack of potatoes and a few bags of beef jerky and trail mix. Even if the worst didn't come to pass I figured we'd eventually eat it all anyways and it wouldn't really be hoarded, but in pinch we could ration it and it would last a few months and give us nutritious meals. It's basically what ships crews used to survive on during the age of sail as they spent months at sea. Not a ton of variety but it will keep you alive.
Ask HN: Business credit cards with solid customer support?
Been with CapOne for many years. But when I tried to reverse bogus charge by InfusionSoft/Keap - CapOne sides with the merchant despite all the support folks saying "I personally understand it, this is nonsense, but...."

So I am looking for a bank that will actually stand with me if the need ever arise. I heard Amex has a solid reputation. What y'all experience with Amex and other business credit card providers?
if you are on an ext filesystem, reducing the reserved percentage on the full filesystem can save the day. its more or less this same trick built in to the filesystem

IIRC 5% is reserved when the filesystem os created, and if it gets full you can run:

tune2fs -m 4 /dev/whatever

which will instantly make 1% of the disk available.

of course should be used sparingly and restored when finished
I don't see a flaw in this statement.
I only know of this discussion[1] on Daniel Lemire's blog regarding -march=native, which seems to have the "it's complicated" conclusion. But yes, _theoretically_ that is a way to compile for better performance, for your own machine.

I was a fan of SQLite until I needed a full outer join of two tables. It was such a pain to create a workaround when I found out it isn't supported, and the result was still sub-optimal and needlessly complex. Is running a full outer joins such a unreasonable assumption within a DBMS?
An aweful pedantic tome for a problem of one's own making. Compose and you won't have any readability problems.

People write a method/function and then don't bother to pull out blocks of specific functionality that can be contained within other "helper" methods.

Your 100+ line method can always be refactored to a 20 line method that calls the other smaller methods needed to compose its total functionality.

Not only can I now read it, I can understand it.

Giant blocks of code manufacture bugs.
powershell is slow, just use a console window.

Or maybe starting anything on modern windows is slow.
Because they haven't yet learned that we live under the boot of a new authoritarianism.

This move should be sufficient to get them to understand who their masters are, and to get back in line, though. RMS will be out by month's end, and all will be well again.
It works very well with Doom, Doom has support for it and detects it's available and does everything for you. Just compile Emacs and run doom upgrade as usual.
Maybe not to you…
I think we are thinking of a different baseline. You are thinking along the lines of "this should run, we can reduce server costs later", I would suggest (if I may) "the app needs to run on any Android device with 2GB RAM". And then you develop a game to run on a 1.5GB RAM phone, expecting that it will eventually fit into 2GB RAM budget.
Some time ago Richard Stallman became a controversial figure due to several things:

* His written defenses of "consensual" pedophilia and defenses of ownership of child pornography, as well as calls for parents of babies with disabilities to have abortions

* An email around the definition of "Rape" with regards to Marvin Minsky allegedly having sex with a 17 year old member of Epstein's harem

* A sign that was on the door of his MIT office decalring him to be the "Knight for Justic (also: Hot Women)"

* Allegations from several women that he would aggressively hit on them and not take no for an answer

After the controversy, the FSF took him off the board. The FSF has now flip flopped on this and put him back on the board.
Discussed (barely) at the time:

At one point he use to be fanatic about it. The VIM configuration line specific to linux kernel development originated from that insistance on 80 chars per line in the early days.
> No reason besides the fact that Unicode characters can cause countless errors in legacy systems downstream.

All systems worthwhile have been using UTF-8 since the 1990s. There is no excuse for legacy systems handling business applications not to handle UTF-8.

Spotify wants you to believe it, but it's not true.
Yeah, that seems like it would be on Backblaze, but this might not apply here, as 164.312 only applies to PHI, and it's quite likely that Backblaze will only sign a BAA for their B2 service, and not their standard backup service.
I realize your skepticism to my original answer, but I am 100% earnest about our intentions regarding Linux. It isn't a secondary concern for us, and we know how important it is for engineers.

Most of the developers on our team are avid Linux users.

My previous job was writing eBPF security drivers and device drivers, and I have used Linux for years.

Linux is very near and dear to our hearts, and when I say it's on our roadmap, I mean it.
The difference is that market mechanisms are meant to allocate items to those that value them the most (assumed to be the same as their willingness to pay). Claiming a licence by contrast has little cost.
The most common fire retardant for wood framing is borate, which is slightly more toxic than table salt.
I am the opposite. If I am carrying a weapon I am more likely to stay quiet - it's a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Intervention has a way of escalating, so I avoid anything close to stirring the pot when I am armed.

Obviously I would (not with a weapon) step up in certain situations, but someone yelling shit on the bus? Definitely not going to engage that person, it's best to ignore and let it go.

Strawman argument. Nobody's arguing this.

The expectation is not perfection, but a certain minimum standard of respect and understanding from those who hold power.

Nobody is asking for him to be imprisoned over his comments. But his comments and actions have clearly shown that he lacks the skills required to be in a leadership position in the community.
I'm all about minimizing notifications - however, a letter is a terrible way for my friend to let me know they are running ten minutes late to meet me, or for my neighbor to ask for a quick task, etc. So texts still alert me.

Interesting. Brian Beckman was the one who helped me get my first clojure environment up and running at Amazon, probably around 2012 or 2013.

I noticed before I left (2016) that he didn't have any projects running with clojure anymore...at least within the Amazon repos. I wonder if he's still using it at all.
I'm sorry. Was hoping it was motivational to know oneself better.

I can't believe how many people in every comment section there are who defend RMS.

He's a genius for sure, but the dude is just an awful public figure, there is a reason he's being memed to death and it's because he takes every chance to make a fool out of himself when is presenting something.

The stuff he said about pedophilia is frankly disgusting and the things about homo- and transphobia just shocking.

He is extremely intelligent, but only in this highly specific area. He is completely oblivious to everything else around him and just awful with people. Quite the important skill for somebody in a representative position.
This could be an amazing IDE plugin.
A lot of the compiz stuff still blows things away today. But truthfully, while I liked it, I didn't need it.
See my reply below, we updated the site with 3 non-german citys. Would love your feedback on them. I try more some more cities in the next days.
JSSM has JSSM-viz.

https://github.com/StoneCypher/jssm-viz

If you just want one to use, rather than to embed in your own software, The thing everyone's calling a live editor is actually the JSSM-viz demo. You can use that

https://stonecypher.github.io/jssm-viz-demo/graph_explorer.h...

It's kept outside of the main repo because, like xstate's, it's built on a transcompile of graphviz called viz.js, which is made with emscripten

It's several meg, and not many people want visualization, so I keep them in separate packages

You can get the graphviz code by hitting "dot" at the top, if you want to customize in ways the language doesn't know
