>CentOS makes the Beta & RC testing and RedHat gets more thoroughly tested patches and, that's it. CentOS is moving to a Debian Testing meets Arch Linux position. It's neither stable as Debian Testing, Nor supported like Arch and lacks any official support and possibly no security patch support.

This isn't correct.

Debian Testing is a true rolling release distribution for the next "major" version of Debian. If you install Debian testing, what you're getting is a hybrid between Debian N and Debian N+1, with package versions that at any point in time may or may not be similar to those in _either_ Debian N or Debian N+1, since they get continually updated up until the stabilization phase.

That is not what CentOS Stream is.

CentOS Stream is a rolling release for the next minor (_not_ major) release of RHEL, and follows the same development process, including the exact same CI and testing scrutiny that was required to update a package in RHEL internally. It's basically taking the development process which used to be internal, and opening it up to everyone else.

Unlike Debian Testing, CentOS Stream is _not_ a hybrid between major releases of RHEL (say, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9). It's frozen to a major release. So CentOS Stream 8 will track the development of RHEL 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and so on, and CentOS Stream 9 will track the development of RHEL 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and so on. And like both RHEL and current CentOS, that means that the updates will only fall into the categories of backported bugfixes, security fixes, support for new hardware, and on very rare occasions individual backported features.

This is more significantly stable than Debian Testing - it is less "Debian Testing meets Arch" but rather "old CentOS meets Debian Testing".

Where did you hear that CentOS Stream didn't receive security patches? That is not true...
It's so satisfying when the good guys significantly outskill the bad guys and humiliate them. This made my day.

Yes, very deeply.
#1 just encourages people to make BS commits throughout the week to pad the numbers.

Not everyone does projects over time, not everyone commits all the time. I don't like committing in progress work and I usually do work in big chunks with large breaks in between, especially for solo projects where I don't have to share code regularly with others.

Based on your criteria, I'd likely be considered a "possible cheater" just for having a different style.
Satoshi Nakamoto: “Bitcoin can scale larger than the Visa Network” (2016)
Thanks! To pick your brain... did you approach mostly the data modeling / data security / other slices more closely related to software engineering, or did you also socialize it out and get other people and teams involved in other slices like data governance?

Can you speak to your specific situation at the time and any specific takeaways?

More nitty-gritty... any suggestions for how to read through as a group in remote work? Feels like the only way might be to get each person a copy...
This is so frustrating, because you're not seeing my point that, without a simpler hypotheses, it doesn't make any sense to dismiss hypotheses on the basis of the Razor alone.

And, again, from what everyone understands of how cars and Teslas work, the initial description doesn't have enough elements to be a complete story.

This is honestly what this whole conversation sounds like to me: Suppose we find a baby stuck high up in a tree.

Me: "How do you suppose it got there?

You: "No idea. All I know is that there's a baby in a tree. The baby got there."

"Perhaps someone put him there?"

"Occam's Razor states you shouldn't multiply entities unnecessarily. Another person would be another entity."

"Ok... I mean, maybe there was a flood and-"

"And maybe a flying pig put him there! What don't you get about Occam's Razor???"

"So how do you think he got there?"

"I have no idea."

"Ok... So, I think that someone putting him there is the most likely -"

"How do you not understand that Occam's Razor doesn't require comparisons!"

"WTF?"

At this point, I don't give a damn about what Mr Occam said. This nitpicking over the original formulation is completely irrelevant. All I've been trying to think from the beginning is what the most likely explanation is.

A third person may well NOT be the most likely, or simplest explanation, but since you haven't provided one this conversation has been pretty useless.

Occam's Razor says you shouldn't multiply entities unnecessarily. That last word, "unnecessarily," I realize in retrospect, is the one I've been focussing on this entire time, while you've been talking about "entities."

If the initial story isn't sufficient -- and the fact that this would be the first Tesla ever to drive at high speed in a narrow cul-de-sac with no one in the driver's seat suggests it isn't -- them we MUST multiply entities. Bugs, trickery, GPS malfunction, whatever. We can then argue about which entities are reasonable and which aren't, if we like, but that's separate from the fact that we need to multiply them.

(And, indeed, it is this word "unnecessarily" in the original formulation that does require simplER hypotheses, which is why that wikipedia article that you told me to read all the way through is chock-full of reference to "simpler" or "competing hypotheses." Without another explanation, you have no idea if the additional entities are necessary or not. All explanations require at least one "entity," except perhaps the Big Bang. The particulars of the case determine how many entities are necessary and sufficient.)
lol microsoft being microsoft.
That’s correct and I guess only page deduplication might help in that case. What I meant in my post was just to state that docker can use the page cache despite the massive indirection caused by overlays. I was wondering if that was even possible and it indeed is.

If given the choice, I'd choose this over over deeper sedation.

Sedation and Anesthesia are not entirely risk-free. Even routine Anesthesia has been correlated with various subtle cognitive differences in the days and weeks after a procedure in some (though not all) studies.

I'd rather be given the minimum dose necessary to get the job done than have a provider go overboard with medications to avoid the small chance of someone breaking through the sedation.
Yeah sure. I also discriminate against people because I don't like the color of their skin while feeling high and mighty. What you're saying is, that if company A bids more salary than company B, you reserve the prerogative to judge that anybody should join company B because you deem the totally legal company A bad, even though the principles of the labour market dictate that if company A furthers the welfare of the worker more he should join company A. This means you're denying the validity of a mechanism that you as the hiring manager -- proudly calling yourself leadership in your bio -- are exploiting yourself every day to influence the commitment of your own employees. Pretty hypocritic. Chase the money but only if I want you to! -- you wish.
edit: Oops I submitted this to the main site and I meant to submit only to Show HN. I edited the entry to fix that. Sorry!

This is a tool I made specifically for Show HN because of a comment. This tool allows for a lookup for alternates for
a YouTube video in either Bitchute, Dailymotion, Rumble or Odysee and is a part of the TubeShift browser extension with some more info and URLs in the linked page or the TubeShift website at https://www.tubeshift.info/

The browser extension is now open source and hosted on Github at https://github.com/altfinder/tubeshift-extension/

Queries might take longer than a normal database lookup because BitChute is searched for an alternative if one
is not yet known.

To get discussion going here's a copy of some of the notes from the linked page:

> Hello Hacker News! A comment a few weeks ago asked for a tool that would let them query the TubeShift system to see if any videos they watch have available alternates. It look longer to make the tool than I expected but here you go. Have fun!

> I just rewrote the web services backend with an async web server implementation replacing the existing one. I expect much higher performance with much less RAM usage. Right now the web services are using up 110 megs of RAM while postgres is using up about 30 megs. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new programs handle and how the performance is with the load generated by HN. I'm trying to keep the implementation fairly light on resource consumption but still able to serve a lot of requests.
YAML is the worst, kill it with fire. Whether TOML is decent alternative is debatable though, i'd prefer EDN.
There's a reason they say it's the "C" students who go on to be the most successful in business, and the reason typically given is they learned how to work to get their grade. When they encounter obstacles at work they know how to work through it. As you say, those who got "A"s are more likely to rely on their brains and so when they encounter obstacles if they can't easily blast through it with their brains then they're stuck. Meanwhile the "C" student will just work through it and get it done. I've seen this happen numerous times.

OTOH, if you're the "A" student who can work hard and not just rely on your brains, wow...

Help me land a remote rails job? [Reddit]
Some people are so lucky, but let's say you each have university debt, and you have 2 kids, and you need to pay for childcare, and you have 2 cars so you can each get to your jobs, and your 3-4br apartment rent is 2-3k/month -- good luck saving 20k/year on ~70k take-home!

And that's all if you can live in a small-town-enough place where homes "only" cost 400k -- in many cities in the last 5 years (i.e. places where there are easy jobs to find), that's just not a realistic house price anymore.

I was a brick/stone-layer's labourer back around 2005, and we built a home that cost ~400k at the time, on the edge of a mid-sized town in southern Ontario. It was a mansion. Stonework, 4-car garage, big lot, 3 stories tall, 5 bedrooms, 3+ baths, the works. Today, I think that house we built could sell for ~1.5-2M.
I feel like the key sentence in this article (edit: which is ironically no longer verbatim in this article, which I see hours later has been heavily expanded) which purports to answer the "but... why the USPS?"--is: > The agency told Yahoo News the Inspection Service collaborates with law-enforcement agencies to identify and assess threats to the Postal Service and its "overall mail processing and transportation network.
> simplicity

This has to be quantified. Simplicity in the language, perhaps. It definitely does not translate into simplicity of resulting programs, and the ease of being able to reason about them, or write them.

> If you're not paying off the principal, you're just renting from the bank without the benefit of having a landlord to fix things.

Renting a house is more or less unheard of. If I want a house I need to buy one (or: “rent from the bank” as it were)

And the market price is basically “what two high income earners can afford if they pay interest only”.

So: if I want to live in a house at all, I need to buy it using borrowed money, and in the window I expect to live in a house (say 10-25 years) I couldn’t make a large dent in the principal regardless, because of the extremely low interest rates (around 1% now for mortgages) and the high prices that come from that. I don’t like it, but I don’t have a choice.

Also regulations strongly favor buying with borrowed money over renting. Interest can be deducted while those who rent from a landlord obviously pay interest too - indirectly through their rent - but in their case it isn’t deductible. So anyone who is forced to rent (e.g because they can’t afford the huge 15-20% down payment or aren’t paid enough to get the mortgage) is pretty much subsidizing the tax deductions of those who take mortgages.
While the Magic keyboard provides a viable keyboard and mouse setup for the iPad, I would much rather see macOS-style features made available on the iPad - particularly a Unix shell and the standard tools which go with that.
> I do think it couldn't have happened without Apple doing it first from the big manufacturers.

Well sure nothing “could have happened” without the first company doing it and then the rest of the companies also doing it. But you can’t blame just Apple for an industry wide change. Sure they where the first major company to push a single button mouse, but you can’t blame them for there being no two or three button mice on the market today. That’s not something they made happen, that was an entire industry adopting their practice, and the consumers backing that decision.
this clearly doesn't work because most test questions for students are trivially Google-able. So then tests as they currently exist would not be able to differentiate someone who has studied and internalized the material from someone who Googles quickly. Tests would have to be re-written to require a lot more creativity, which is not only hard to do as a test writer, it's harder to grade and ultimately for students, requires even more effort (compared to rote memorization of facts or rules). So I don't think most students or instructors love this idea.

> I think what is actually dreaded is Rails, and the terrible, awful, no-good things PM's forced it to do in the 2010's.

That's basically it, for me, yeah. Long-lived (or hell, pretty much any of them that aren't just getting started) Rails codebases, even when they're not particularly complex, without heroic levels of good processes & individual discipline to keep things reasonable and clear, become fucking nightmares to onboard to. I'm more wary of Rails than a bespoke PHP codebase, at this point, and "we're a Rails shop" is damn near an instant "well thanks for the interest, but no" from me. I don't need that stress for the dozenth time. Just done with it.

It sure is impressive how fast one developer can knock together a prototype with Rails. Meanwhile I've had so many extremely-bad experiences with ongoing Rails projects that I hope never to touch one again.

But I actually like using Ruby itself a lot better than, say, Python. Ruby's fine. Rails... no. Never again. Maybe if they embrace static typing and it becomes nigh-universal in the Rails library ecosystem, they can make it tolerable. Too much magic, too little help from my tools to help me understand WTF the magic is doing, where it comes from, et c.

Signal never indicated this in the blog. They said that the phone would have a file that could be used to victimize the UFED PC after the extraction completes. It's plausible that the UFED could be infected post-extraction with malware that re-establishes a connection to the phone to infect it in reverse, but this is extremely unlikely and it would be easy to determine (assuming the UFED still exists and hasn't been meaningfully modified since the extraction.

For the UFED Touch, for example, the device runs the extraction and saved the result to a flash drive or external drive. This is then reviewed with the UFED software on another machine (laptop, desktop, whatever). What you're describing would mean that the extraction takes place (one-way. The Touch requests an ABD or iTunes backup process, phone responds with the backup files). The the malicious file in the backup pops and executes a command that runs software on the phone, thus infecting the phone with false data to cover the tracks and make the data on the report match the device. This is unreasonably complex, and I doubt any judge would accept it as enough to consider the data inadmissible. Let alone the fact that the data likely exists elsewhere in a verifiable way (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Google Drive, etc), which the initial extraction results should give probable cause to the cops to obtain.
My concern is really, "Signal has a beef with Cellebrite, and so some unsuspecting and innocent person gets hit with a wrench."

It is a different game if Signal makes the sharding opt-in. If someone vacuums my phone and it turns out that my treatise about Little Bobby Tables [1] breaks the vacuum, that is fine by me.

You joke but private mail carriers don't have the same restrictions on monitoring your mail that the USPS does. They are free to open and inspect any package, as well as x-ray and other such methods, and don't need to disclose it. Except under some special circumstances, letters and parcels going through the USPS, on the other hand, need a warrant to be opened. One could easily imagine a program where private carriers report the contents of parcels sent to or from targeted individuals or even add things like listening devices or malware to items being shipped. While probably not useful for dealing with organized crime, if your goal is just general intelligence gathering or blackmail, private carriers could easily be a treasure trove.

There are entire fields of study dedicated to studying the long-term effects of various trauma. Unfortunately it gets mixed in with the "repressed memories" and other pseudoscience ideas, so the pop-science news articles are not good sources of information.

That said, memory repression isn't the only type of anesthesia involved in these procedures. Patients are given multiple medications, which do everything from dampen the pain signals to relax the patient.

It's not equivalent to just forgetting the pain stimulus. The pain stimulus is massively reduced, even if it were to break through to the patient's awareness.
> it's not their north star; "fearless concurrency" is probably the closest.

That's just a more recent slogan to succinctly express what their real north star means. Their real north star is "safety and correctness", and like all languages, they push to make the most important thing to them easy and approachable.

Here's the thing, I'm not sure as a project saying your focus is large scale engineering and pushing towards that actually gets you closer to the desired result in the end than pushing for safety and correctness instead. I could fully see a language that pushes for safety and correctness eventually being a much better and easier to use choice when evaluating with respect to large scale engineering, because those are extremely important to large scale engineering.
