Hmm.

They basically reinvented mainframes.
Seems it has a lot in common with Z series.

Scalable locked in hardware, virtualization,
reliability, engineered for hardware swaps,
upgrades.

A proprietary operating system (?) from what someone said.
(Offshoot of Solaris +++ (???) By that I mean that most of it, or all of it might be open sourced forks, but it will be an OS only meant to run on their systems.

(It would be fun to get it working at home, on a couple of PCs or a bunch of PIs)

They lack specialized processors to offload some
workloads to.

Perhaps in modern terms shelfs of GPUs or a shelf fast FPGA
, DSP processors. The possibilities are huge.

I didn't find any mention of from what I read.

They also lack the gigantic legacy effort to be
compatible, which is a good thing.
For sans fonts I have always enjoyed Avenir.
I think it is usually the other way around: people are finding Prime Video through Amazon. I suspect many would subscribe to Prime for deliveries even if Prime Video didn’t exist, and few would subscribe to Prime for Prime Video alone.
Now. There are already hedge funds purchasing land based on this idea.
Replying to my own comment. I'm now through Chapter 4 (Comments) of Clean Code, it'll probably be a few more days before I resume reading it (catching up on work after being on vacation, both work work and yard work thanks to the damned dandelions that have sprouted in the week I was gone). At least through this chapter, I'm not seeing any reason not to recommend this book. Sure, after programming for nearly 30 years (self-taught as a kid, through college, and professionally now for over 15 years) there's not a lot new for me. However, nothing in these first four chapters read as bad advice or bad practices and actually matches pretty closely with guidance I've given people I mentor.

Perhaps this book had a greater impact on me when I read it than I believe. However, I already had a lot of habits and patterns in programming by then that I don't think changed a lot after I read it the first time in the early 2010s. Maybe the next thirteen chapters will change my opinion, but at present I'm still inclined to include it in a short list of books I'd suggest to mentees and really don't get the hate it was getting in the other discussion.

That said, I've always been a synthesist. I acquire information and ideas from wherever I can find them, and put them together to form my own concepts and techniques. I would not recommend this as the book on clean coding practices. But it is certainly a book on the topic and has useful material especially for someone with just a few years of experience post college.
HN does not have out-of-control mobs and flamewars because HN has dedicated human moderators who monitor hot conversations and use a variety of tools to de-escalate them.

Voting manages the day-to-day and gives them signal to work with, but ultimately open communities (i.e. that anyone can join) need active moderation to remain stable over the long term.
I feel like a good top level category would be fan clubs or similar, subreddits for podcasts, tv shows, etc.
You're correct that 5% increase in resource usage is probably not noticeable for most orgs.

Its important to know what audience you're building for. I believe the audience for otel consists largely of companies that don't look anything like Google. So its fine to sacrifice that last bit of perf gain if it means the code is easier to use and maintain.

FWIW, it also appears that companies like Google would fork or reimplement such systems anyway.
Unfortunately you didn’t pivot to becoming a podcast company. But this looks cool

I hope you drop a new episode soon
The core problem with Reddit is that it calls them communities, but for 99% of the subreddits the name of the subreddit is based on the content, not the people. This leads Reddit into these fractal content relationships where you can only really discuss the things that have the goldilocks level of popularity. Looking to get some new headphones and aren't an audiophile? Sorry, headphones are to popular and the niche subreddit is to specific to you.

Hacker News on the other hand is based on Hackers, it's about the people. The topics are broad. When a new thing comes into existence that hackers are interested in, we don't have to move to a new place where maybe most of us don't realize it exists, we discuss it here and introduce it to others here. That's the correct view.

But the cause of the problem that reddit faces is population size. We want a small town community, not a community the size of New York City, where people are aggressive because they know they won't see that random person again. It's about seeing the same name, and treat those names with dignity. It's about caring about the people in the community.

So Hacker News in time will either deal with this problem or run into the same issue that large subreddits face. Once new users start learning behavior from other new users, there's no coming back from that. Eternal September is coming. I hope a resolution is discovered, because I really like it here.
Vim's "easy mode" also appears to be cut from Neovim (or not accessible by the -y flag, at least)
I think this is the lifecycle of all 'nerd' sites. Slashdot went this way, Digg, Reddit, and we're seeing it here.

It starts with insightful stuff, knowledgeable people, real discourse. Reddit may have been special because at the time the community also prided itself on kindness.

But then 'nerds' go from people who have insight and opinions on esoteric topics, to people that like Marvel universe movies. Basically it gets popular and then it's no longer a niche group.

I think this happens with social media and "the kids" as well. As soon as your mom is on it, it's dead and you move on to the next one.

But we see it now. It's gotten to where most of the time I have to collapse the first few threads because they turn into fanboy arguments (pro/anti-apple, intel vs. AMD, copyleft vs liberal OSS licenses, etc, etc.).
It's not even that. It's the interface that other logging/tracing apis can plug into. It's the "SLF4J" of tracing/metrics gathering.

Why is this useful? Because it lets people writing libraries provide the ability for users of their libraries to track performance information without dictating to them what performance tracking tools they should use.
Why cant software engineers just do the data science role?
Startpage person, here. Startpage doesn't collect user personal data so it wouldn't share it because it doesn't have it.

From Robert Beens (co-founder and CEO): "In no way does System1 want to change the privacy practices or process by Startpage, in fact, they legally cannot as all of those decisions are held by the co-founders of Startpage."

And,

"System1 is interested in Startpage's ad revenue, not its data"

There are some aspects of their implementation I had not considered, but being desktop only, it is a different product, in my opinion.
The original USB standard was 5V 0.5A, which wasn't going to start any fires.
Currently using:

* La Roche Posay Dermo Pediatrics Lotion SPF 50. There is a USA version, but its a different active ingredient vs the EU version. EU version has UVA/UVB ratings, US version is UVB only due to different active ingredients.

* UltraSun Face Fluid SPF 50

Previously used:

* Anessa and Shiseido. Preferred the above for both feel and performance.

* Think Kids/Baby SPF 50 (Zinc). Its OK as a physical barrier, but lacks UVA protection. They also just reformulated it so unclear how performance is impacted.

I'm not sure what EWG will say about the EU ingredients. EWG tends to be very cautious, possibly too cautious. They give me vibes of natural=best or over alarmist; leaving out context (requires 100000x normal dose, etc.).
Honestly, one has to wonder if there’s a Bourbon tradition of concussing every child in the moments after birth. It’s practically the only thing that would explain why they’ve been so consistently tone deaf and incompetent since Louis XIV.
> Nobody suffered any real harm. None of this is a huge deal, but people want to play victim.

Do you honestly think that all the maintainers of 250+ open source projects all "want to play victim"? Really?

You need to come to terms with "I was both in my right to and had reasons to do what I did" does not mean everyone has to be a-ok with it and play along to accomodate your decisions. What Lee did was monumentally stupid and short-sighted from the perspective of anyone caring about a project-related community they maintain on IRC. Why should they keep using freenode? Because nobody suffered any real harm yet (fwiw, you don't know that, you assume that!)?

Google could tomorrow bounce all emails to free gmail accounts that do not come from gmail and demand payment for letting them through. They would be fully in their right. It might sound like a great idea for making some $ numbers go up this month. People would not be "outraged" because Google stopped doing something for free that they had no obligation to do. People would be "outraged" (read: baffled, and scrambling to cut the service out of their lives) because it would be an incredibly braindead move.
Im not sure I follow. You’re suggesting that the government should somehow get involved to levy taxes on companies based on subjective criteria, like how big they are, and then … fund startups to compete with them?

We already have a Small Business Administration that gives loans to small businesses, including start-ups. There’s also an extremely vibrant venture funding industry out there just waiting to write checks.

Additionally, it would be hard to argue that Stripe has anything like a payment processing monopoly. If you don’t like their products, use one of the myriad other companies offering payment processing solutions.
The regulated minimum is around 300 feet, but I'd double that as a minimum (and depending on wind directions): https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/public-health-now/news...

Product adjacent. Nice effort from the degen devs, though.
Important details from the press release:

- Marohn renewed his license before the licensing board presented a complaint against him.

- License lapses like this are common and there's a standard procedure for "late renewal" which Marohn followed, including paying a late fee, and the board accepted the renewal.
> "My general approach, and recommendations to others, is to purchase only Thunderbolt 3 cables ... they'll essentially handle everything you throw at them"

Is this really true? My Thunderbolt monitor (LG Ultrafine 4K) came with two cables: Thunderbolt 3 (for connecting to Thunderbolt laptops) and USB-C (for connecting to iPads etc which don't support Thunderbolt). Why would two different cables be needed if the Thunderbolt 3 one can do it all?
Thanks for the write-up, however... there is one thing that pops out: assuming there will be externals, be it antifa, NCMEC or a government, who provide feeds of entity IDs associated with Nazis, child abuse, stalking, doxxing or pirated content - would not such a feed be an immediate confirmation "this is the real deal" for those actively willing to search for such content?

"Not wanting to play god" is an admirable position, but there are classes of content where staying somewhat neutral-ish is dangerous as hell.
I’m skeptical of the argument that Prime Video attracts Prime subscriptions. The true motivation could be Hollywood glamor, or having the data to link viewing behavior to product recommendations.
To make things lucrative, one thing that could be done is to remove the condition that OpenAI APIs must be used. But - the people who are going to pitch to OpenAI also are opening themselves up for competition. Another option would be to spin out an OpenAI Venture firm without strings attached?
Government regulation would be one solution. Another would be less government regulation, specifically making piracy legal.

Ironically Neutrogena received best rating when measuring their SPF (according to Consumer NZ). It’s my favourite too as it actually works, while zinc ones my partner touts are pain to apply and don’t really work that well in extreme sun.

From my previous research the benzene is confused with sodium benzene which is safe and widespread. Perhaps manufacture of it leave some trace.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is a license to call a port a USB port, though goods are commonly sold without that. In theory the solution is simple: only buy products that have the actual USB logo and ensure certification, and the USB-IF should retain the right to significantly fine any manufacturer advertising being to spec and using the logo who is in fact not.

In practice, people aren't going to stop buying nintendo switches, unfortunately.

Still, its not entirely necessary to support all specs or have that be entirely clear, what does need to be clear is if you can expect safety specs to be followed. If I plug in my nintendo switch to a charger thinking it'll charge at lightspeed but it takes hours, oh well. If I plug it in and it destroys the device then that should be pretty much an unforgivable problem. Personally I'd be happy to abstain from buying such a device due to that, though also personally I did buy one, expecting no issues, and only found out months later when seeing it mentioned somewhere online. Ideally research is done on every product to ensure things like this aren't the case, but again in practice, that doesn't always happen.

I'm not sure what the fix is, other than outright making USB not so universal by requiring a license for any and all vendors using the design, if the license is cheap enough, maybe that could work? I don't know the legalities so much but maybe a free license could be required for any implementation, which would only have the spec of "make sure it doesn't brick charger or device, and make sure it doesn't catch on fire"
Canada Post informs 44 business customers of breach affecting 950K customers
It seems like a lot of Oxide information is currently hiding out in podcasts and other media - does anyone know how the AuthN, AuthZ, ACL system is going to work?

One of the most powerful elements of the trust root system is in audit ability and access control for both service-to-service and human-to-system aspects and I'm really interested in seeing how this plays out.

For example, a service mesh where hosts can be identified securely and authorized in a specific role unlocks a lot of low-friction service-to-service security. I'm curious what Oxide plan to provide in this space API and SDK wise.

I see some Zanzibar related projects on their GitHub, so it can be assumed the ACL system will be based on the principles there - but that's more a framework than an implementation.
OSes do provide accessibility APIs - and usually if you use one of the more supported graphic toolkits there are somewhat easy ways to integrate directly in semantic ways, without needing to OCR and do fortune telling.

Usually it means that you need a deferred mode semantic tree of the application for accessibility UI to walk through, though.

It's a really nice solution. I am using it to send traces and metrics via a standardised API in Go, and Node.js. During development I am sending without sampling it to Jaeger but in production I am sending ratio sampled traces to Google Trace but you can use Honeycomb or Lightstep. For metrics, I am sending them to local Prometheus during development, and cluster prometheus in production.

It's nice to see all the traces through all the different services of one API request and all its log items it generated. Using a custom span exporter to ensure PPI is stripped away as much as possible for span attributes.

Using W3C trace context and baggage to send some more data along, e.g. sending the trace id, span id etc into pub sub events to ensure to connect them with the trace.

Loving it! For now, I think it's worth the costs of adding tracing to services.
Your approach to pay is really refreshing and attractive as an engineer, and also seems like the exact type of thing most VC or larger tech firms would really hate. That alone feels like evidence of your conviction
It’s also about where your costs are. Google has much less revenue per compute-time/requests/whatever than most other companies. If you target the business to business field your computing costs are usually negligible while your developers cost a lot of money. Throwing more hardware at the problem is often the most economical solution.
Generally avoiding subreddits with more than 100k members is the way to find decent content.

For really slow subreddits, just tack /comments on to the subreddit URL to get a listing of most recent comments instead of posts.
Facebook does have a 5000 person limit on how many people can follow your personal account, after that you need to start a fan page.

I'm not sure where you got those. IPCC 2019 report estimated the Greenland contributions in the 10-30cm range, and the link you gave is mostly about newer models suggesting a bit higher than 2019 IPCC, so suggest at the higher end (or above) of that range.

The only related thing I could find in your linked report was to estimate contributions up by 2.6cm/2.8 cm/5cm (different scenarios) from CMIP5 to CMIP6, not in total. Maybe I missed something?

Or quite possibly far more than if they hadn't used it, if we're just going to make things up.
I did kinda address this in the post. While it's true that you can do everything that Fork can do in the command line (and supplement that with a branch visualiser), everyone but the people most comfortable with Git will avoid even attempting the techniques outlined in the post. I would estimate that this is probably less than 10% of devs (possibly far far less)

Using something like Fork actually makes the whole process of interacting with Git much more enjoyable, and therefore will encourage people to use more intermediate or expert aspects of Git to their full advantage.

Not really like tramp mode (doesn't magically (s)ftp files around), but there's headless and tcp connect support, like:

My apologies for the mistakes in my statement. You seen to know much, much about this topic than me; thank you for adding the nuances this complex topic. My comment was based on my recollection of what I saw at the San Francisco Museum of Asian Arts and some of the descriptions I read there about the various pieces. In all likelihood, my recollection was either incorrect and/or incomplete. I cited the Wikipedia article because it seems to reflect similar ideas as my recollection and also in case anyone else found the topic as fascinating as I did.

I'm past the window for editing my original comment but if the mods don't mind, it would be great to qualify my original comment with the response.
> The idea that one needs to stay in the good graces of the state in order to reference one's experience in their field as part of their political advocacy cannot possibly withstand genuine first amendment scrutiny, can it?

Being licensed isn't to be within the good graces of the state, it's to prove the licensee has the requite knowledge and experience to design and construct things which, when fail, people die. This is something we want in society.
And if you don't enforce your logo IP use. All sorts of random 2-wire under-spec power-only cables and forbidden male-female extension cables have the USB logo on them. Look at this obviously wrong statement from the article:

“All EPR cables shall be visibly identified with EPR cable identification items,”

No they won't! Just like all the other stupid confusing and incorrectly implemented "rules" for labelling and orientation and everything. Even if they do it consistently, nobody will know which of all the many confusing logos means what and for some reason OSs don't show the user which component is incompatible in which way so you'll be happily enjoying 100W from your 240W charger unaware it's not actually 240W.
Not at all. I had more than that before I quit twitter and I am about as minor a figure in a sub-sub-sub-industry as one can be; actually-famous people have millions. Not-quite-famous people have hundreds of thousands.
It is probably too late to save Computer Science Research. Efforts in that direction are likely wasted. More important is to keep the contagion from spreading to allied fields. Grants probably should stop immediately. People doing serious work will need to move to another area where they might be able to contribute. People evaluating work in these other areas will need to guard against allowing theirs to be overtaken by the same downward spiral.

In perhaps a generation, a similar specialty might be bootstrapped and begin to take on problems had been of interest in the old one. What to call the new specialty will be its smallest problem.

> a ranking officer of the Martian navy explicitly tells the ship that they are in control.

Yes, that's how they got possession of it and managed to make use of it. It is not at all the same thing as relinquishing ownership, which that Martian officer would not be able to do in any case because he didn't own the ship. The reasonable expectation is that they use the ship to do the job they needed it for, and then return it to it's proper owners.

This is, of course, only the second worst case of piracy thinly disguised as salvage in the Expanse. The title for the worst case of course goes for Behemoth.
