Actually, I’m obviously not talking about Jira but imagine some made an issue tracker in cloud mode and programmed it using microservices, the speed of each microservice would vary a lot depending on workload, time of the day, location, time since last access of the document/attachment/screen/userdata, configuration of the instance, importance of this customer (maybe I would give privileged speed to a good customer, or to one whom I’ve had problems with on other features) and it would vary so much that performance for one person would be hardly representative of another person’s experience.

That would be one legit reason for thinking about writing this clause. Because it’s really curious to think about writing that.
A. That's true if you failed out a significant portion of your class you could effectively achieve the same thing. I was assuming the grading was on a curve.

B. I doubt that the Harvard educational material makes you significantly more capable than any equivalent one. Same text books, doubt teachers are that much more capable than a good state school.
you never used systemd?

When I lived in Zurich for a few months the only trash bags that were legal to use cost around $3 PER BAG. Recycling on the other hand is free.

I don't know if that is throughout Switzerland but I reckon that had something to do with it.

EDIT: That was a long time ago. I checked online and a 17 liter (about 4 gallon) trash bag now costs 10.50CHF (USD 11.65) per bag.
Thanks for real-world report on the V1000 fanless. Hopefully the V2000 fanless version will reach retail soon, was announced in 20Q4.
The trick is to seize on when existing infra projects are being done (major roadwork or perhaps replacing water, sewer, or buried power) and throw the conduit and fiber down at the same time, as the incremental cost is trivial. This is referred to as Dig Once policy.

Fiber is cheap. When you dig, install fiber!

> “None of our records show that Richard was involved in any capacity in the Flamin’ Hot test market,” Frito-Lay wrote in a statement to The Times, in response to questions about an internal investigation whose existence has not been previously disclosed. “We have interviewed multiple personnel who were involved in the test market, and all of them indicate that Richard was not involved in any capacity in the test market.

> One photograph, posted to Instagram in October 2019 but now deleted, shows four pieces of lined notebook paper, labeled “mild,” “reg,” “hot” and “extra hot,” with Cheetos piled on top of each. At the bottom of one, Montañez signed his name and wrote the date “1988.”

> In another post, now deleted, he wrote that he worked on the Doritos Salsa Rio flavor in 1998 — a product that first hit test markets in 1987, according to Advertising Age articles from that year.

>But Enrico did not work at Frito-Lay when Flamin’ Hot products were developed. His move to Frito-Lay was announced in December 1990, and he took over control at the beginning of 1991 — nearly six months after Flamin’ Hots were already out in the test market.

He is a fraud. End of.
They also said in that episode, although the CEO at the time has since passed away, another former CEO, Al Carey, has publicly credited him with inventing the flavor.

EDIT: Apparently that is also disputed, however.

I am a male with 2D : 4d of about 1.05, don't care to measure but my index fingers are definitely longer. Apparently normal for men is 0.95 and women 0.97. If I put one over the other from the other hand as that picture I shows I get about 10% longer on one hand and about equal on the other.

Things about me: I am super anxious about everything. Which really sucks since men aren't supposed to be anxious, but it is fine after I accepted that I'll die alone. Women aren't attracted to anxious men and it gets even worse that I'd have to overcome my anxiousness probably hundreds of times for anything to ever happen. Just doing it a single time feels like death.

Anyway, there are plenty of fun stuff to do as a loner today so I'm reasonable happy, probably not far from as happy I can be given how overly anxious I am. Being anxious usually doesn't lead to healthy relationships so even if I did go through all that work most likely it would just end up like shit and I'd be way more miserable than now.
I no longer live in nyc, so this probably isn't practicable.

It is plastered on the bag under "Nutrition Facts." Whether you choose to eat nothing but flaming hot cheetos and die of painful gastroinstestinal related problems, or live an otherwise healthy life but eat cheetos occasionally is entirely up to you in this country. We don't need more handholding and coddling imo.
>A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.

Please explain to me how Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. I may be to old to fully understand, but I see zero underlying (intrinsic) value in any of these crypto coins.

And on top of it all, they burn through enormous amounts of electrical energy that is lost as waste heat.
You know, that's a good question.

Maybe sewing machines? Typewriters? Linotype machines?

I admit that it's all a mixed bag. Common use of microcontrollers allows more cleverly designed electric hand drills at lower cost, but they are mechanically more poorly made than in days of yore.

Cars strike me as having the same problem, partly in the ability to design with computers, not just having a computer in the loop. Major components (transmissions, rear ends, etc.) used to be built in a much more beefy way partly because they were just guessing.

Luckily we are all free agents. We can buy old or we can buy new.
> using a regex is the more canonical way

Yuck.

I also ran into similar issue with Hugo, where I'm out of the happy-path. Those short codes didn't work, complex processing of some unique bits of content was easier in Jekyll (but also other script-lang based tools) than it was in tools like Hugo.
There's no standardized regulation or filtering; devices typically see it all. And it's much more than the alternator voltage; a device might see transient 24V or more, and as little as 9V.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_auxiliary_power_out... for more.

Modern chargers tend to be really forgiving, and they're often powering a device that has its own battery, so there are multiple levels of regulation between the car and the device.

On the other hand, I've used automotive adapters that do a simple DC-DC conversion with no regulation, and pass through to a barrel connector to a device that would otherwise be powered by standard alkaline disposable batteries. Those aren't nearly as robust, and I've seen devices fail or power-cycle due to undervolting.
Reminds me of this movie where a girl goes to her high school reunion and claims she invented Post-It Notes. I wish I could remember the name of it.
Does that work with M1/Apple Silicon Macs or Intel-only?
I read the entire article. Of course it doesn't say his "entire life story is pure bullshit". That's a straw man. But it includes a ton of evidence that his claim to have invented Flaming Hot Cheetos is bullshit, as well as lots of examples where he's changed his story many times over the years.
I have a system where systemd decides, about half the times I boot it, to immediately unmount all of the filesystems listed in fstab literally right after having finished mounted them as part of the regular boot process. All of this with other daemons starting in parallel.

It will fail to unmount most of the filesystems, since they are of course busy, but often it will succeed in unmounting /var, /tmp, /home and others. Then it will continue starting on further services as if nothing happened and even proceed to gdm. But of course without /home I can't even login.

No idea how to even start debugging it.
> so now there are only 2?

Correct, there is only en-ord and ett-ord and it has been so for centuries.

There are 3 personal pronouns (One of them less than 20 years old for politically correct language to describe either woman or man.) But grammatically all 3 cause declensions like en-ord, so they don't form a different grammatical gender.

My company does most of our development in Delphi, but unfortunately that means that crash dumps are very difficult or impossible to utilize with the embedded Borland/Embarcadero TDS debugging information. I wrote a utility that extracts the TDS info from a Delphi executable and uses an LLVM debug info library to write out a PDB and also modify the executable to point to that PDB.

Hard disagree; he's made claims for years about pitching the original Flamin' Hot Cheetos line. He didn't. I don't care that he extended the line to popcorn. It makes no difference to the consistent lie being told about his story, which is that he pitched Flamin' Hot Cheetos
The cryptocurrency market is highly irrational.

Nope, this isn't normal at all for products on AWS, GCP, or pretty much any other cloud provider. Azure is simply a subpar product and its time to stop attempting to sweep its awful downtime under the rug.
This is one of those things that has always sounded really interesting but I haven’t had the opportunity to use. Does anybody have experience with it? I’m also trying to find some benchmarks but don’t see much.
Similarly runit, s6, and Upstart have never had that issue. It is the oddest complaint to come up with when considering life without systemd.

I would be willing to bet that the 99% pays at least 99% of those nickels and the 1% pays at most 1% of them.

I would consider those nickels regressive if most of them come from the lower half of economic distribution even if they all end up in the hands of the homeless.

Spotify made sense to me because I could pay $10/month and have all my music downloaded. That's a lot cheaper than what the data would have cost me to stream. I canceled my subscription after the third freaking time all my music got deleted off my phone for no apparent reason. Found out it had happened on my way to work, as usual, where I spent a 10 hour day putting 100's of identicle parts into boxes with nothing to keep my mind off my lovely mental state.

I think I kind of missed the beginning days of YouTube. I knew about it and would use it on occasion, but the internet wasn't fast enough and I much preferred newgrounds and albino black sheep to waiting for videos to buffer.

I'm worried about my nephews. They cannot put their tablets down. And it's not exactly education stuff either. We were eating lunch the other day to a video of peppa pig voiced over so that the characters were being mildy crude (butts, poop, etc), interspersed with random clips from all kinds of shows. I'm munching on french fries, watching bits and pieces, and all I could think was that I wasn't high enough for that kind of crap. It seriously looked like something you'd think was hilarious if you were on mushrooms.

I just try and remind myself that my parents were worried about the amount of time I was on the internet when that became a thing. When books started getting cheap and popular, the older folks worried that kids in those days were buried in their fiction and not taking notice of the world around them.

But when I was younger, I was digging through files and editing shit for my games and making things work, thinking how in tune with the nuts and bolts of technology the next generation would be. Now they're here and if the button for the app doesn't work when they touch it, they don't have any idea what to do.

It'll work out. I just don't know how yet. In the meantime, I'll watch them play minecraft and regale them with stories about what it was like when the beta came out when I was in college. Then I'll drag their little butts out of the house and teach them how to climb trees because neither of their parents did apparently.

hi there, I'm one of the developers for hyperscript

some aspects of the language that HN might find interesting:

* events are really easy to work with (both responding to or sending them)

* there are DOM-specific literals in the langauge: https://hyperscript.org/expressions/#css

* the runtime is async-transparent, so you (mostly) don't need to worry about asynchronous code (the runtime works everything out) https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async

* event-based control flow: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#event-control-flow

* a debugger, written in hyperscript of course: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#debugging

While hyperscript is designed for small, embedded functionality like toggling classes, we are experimenting with ways to add more complex behavior with, er, behaviors: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#behaviors

The language is very young and speculative compared with htmx, but we've been happy with how it's turned out so far...

Most browsers didn't support VBScript or Dart.

TypeScript and JSX are the most popular languages that compile to JavaScript as far as I know. They're very close to JavaScript because people learned straying too far created problems.
One of the best things I've done is keeping a wiki and log of my notes. Turns out that other people found them useful, as well. These days there are many easy to deploy options for hosting wikis and notes, especially if you're fond of Markdown.

Not exactly. Socket units can pull in services that are not otherwise enabled. You also have to search through all of your udev rules to check if there are SYSTEMD_WANTS directives pulling services in.

So nope, not "an" eggplant, some eggplants, and those only may look like eggs in their early stages. They may also look like plums. Do we call the purple eggplants plumplants because they resemble plums at some indeterminate stage in their growth?

This is a very pretty application, and very fast. It reminds me of older text editors.

However right now it's very buggy. I used it for 5min and encountered bug after bug. Even ⌘Q types in "q" and beeps instead of quitting the app.

Also, I suggest you use markdown shortcuts (e.g. typing # will create a header, *text* will make your text italic, etc.) I'm used to them in most text editors and they make editing super easy and fast. Of course keep the content WYSIWYG, just markdown shortcuts, and you can add an option to turn them off in case someone doesn't like them.

Overall though I hope you keep working on this and iron out the bugs, because otherwise it's a great app.
Something similar has also happened to me. In my case, the symptom was that the TOTP 2FA to systems at work started to fail. It took me some time to find that the cause was an around 1 minute offset between my phone and the correct (NTP-synchronized) time as shown by my desktop. Setting the phone to not synchronize its date/time to the network (and correcting its time) fixed it, but it's annoying since without the network synchronization, the time slowly drifts. My theory is that there's one single tower that does not have its time correctly synchronized, and that annoyingly it's the "best" tower when I'm sitting at my desk.

Since then, I've not trusted that automatic network time adjustment, and I leave it disabled. Periodically, I check if it's drifted too much, and if it has, I quickly enable and then disable the network time adjustment (in a place far from the misconfigured tower).
In the case of strlen, SSE goes a few cycles slower for n<8, gains a slight advantage over SWAR for n>8, and starts going ~twice as fast for n>255. Benchmarks: https://justine.lol/swarsimd.txt The difference is probably more pronounced in functions that do block copying like https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/libc/str/st... (which actually uses the ANSITRINSICS library). For more complicated functions like this: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/b3838173ecbb67fae5... SIMD has the advantage that figuring out how to do the SWAR arithmetic correctly might be more difficult than figuring out how to use the hardware API. It goes without saying that the most compelling benefits of SSE are the instructions like PMADDUBSW which can be used to great effect for signal decimation https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/b3838173ecbb67fae5... assuming you use The Perfect Kernel {-1, -3, 3, 17, 17, 3, -3, -1} http://www.johncostella.com/magic/ or PADDSW which can mix audio samples real fast doing saturating arithmetic. You can't SWAR that. Another great example is carryless multiplication instructions which literally make CRC32 computation go 54x faster.
You overestimate humanity
In 2013, I started https://webtorrent.io the first torrent client that runs in a web browser. It’s open source here: https://github.com/webtorrent

I built it to make torrent technology more accessible to the masses. We’re still actively building it and we even have a slick desktop app that uses the same engine for streaming.

WebTorrent also powers https://wormhole.app an end-to-end encrypted file sending service that I built with my friend jhiesey.
It is not uncommon that entire towers or basebands have invalid time.
Some of the reason that i encountered personally:

- Badly configured basebands (for example lack of summer/winter time change flag!)

- Broken PTP

- Stations that take time from NTP which does not exist or does not have route to.

- I don't know the name for it, but getting time from local Nodeb is an feature - and sometimes features are not active or licensed[1].

- Station setup with GPS instead PTP/NTP (let's say for 2G or some slower HDSPA modes) with broken GPS module itself

- Software error [basebands have multiple versions of software, same goes for APG's, SCU'S, RRU's and dozen other black boxes. Even cabinet itself have some software.
This is big pain in the ass to keep them all updated in large network - as upgrade process can be disruptive and sometimes it is better to not upgrade [cases of some really wacky stations]...

- Problem with software in terms of PTP implemetation. For example there are some discrepancies between Huawei and Ericsson software when it comes to PTP.

[1].
This is big shocker for Open Source Software community:

- EVERY SINGLE FEATURE in base station is not only NOT free, but Telecoms needs to pay them every single month[all manufactures: Nokia, Ericsson, HUA do that]. We are talking here in about 100-200 licenses for various features per site alone. If you don't buy new license every 28 days - your base station will turn off and it's nothing you can do.

- Hardware provider can also refuse to give you new licenses in theory...

- This is real hell of SaS world that NO ONE is talking about.
the on* attributes only handle the standard DOM events, and I wanted a way to write inline handlers for the custom events fired by htmx

then I realized I didn't want to deal w/ async/await or setTimeout, and off I went...
I work in a domain that requires C++-like performance, but I'd really like to stop hitting all the usual issues with C++. Rust can free me from difficult std::move rules, no global build and packaging system, incoherent error checking, and ridiculous templating error messages. I would love to switch to a language with a clear type system and tooling.

Unfortunately, Rust suffers from the same long build times as C++, so it's no longer as glamorous to me.
Problem with systemd is, startup is not deterministic. systemd starts everything it can start at the same time, leading to subtle race conditions between services and the network. If you have any dependency that isn't explicitly spelled out or any service that is falsely reported as ready, you will get funny system states on some boots, whereas it will work on others. systemd-udev does its part to make things even worse there, because it also introduces more races against kernel devices. So with systemd, even when you tested the system, you can not always be sure that it will start everything properly.

Compared to sysv-init this is a regression, because init scripts usually ran sequentially and also didn't involve unreliable systemd-udev events.

Compared to Solaris SMF this is pitiful. SMF takes into account service dependencies from its declarative service descriptions and computes a deterministic sequential startup order. If it has booted once, it will always boot again, in the same order, reliably. Best of all worlds.
> but when you run a company that makes software for many millions of people you cannot be this cavalier.

Why? Signal is a nonprofit, has no investors to provide returns unto, has no subscribers or paying customers. Why can't they take a moral stance in the market? Who is it hurting?

I felt their post was entirely fair/fine. It's not like they've shareholders or revenue to worry about. They're free to do what they want. Even the client and server are free software, if Signal itself imploded tomorrow someone else could release a new fork with a different API URL configured and stand up a server somewhere.
