> Like Gentoo it's one of those OSs that is cool for linux nerds and a headache for people who actually need to practice proper systems engineering.

Fear not. As GKE is running on Container-Optimized OS which is based on Chromium OS which itself is based on Gentoo, you can safely practice proper systems engineering within the container environment :)
It is neat that this is something people are trying, but this strikes me as a technical solution to a political problem. Such a thing probably can't scale on account of that.

The real solution is to reform how drugs are priced and healthcare is provided. In the UK we did this over 70 years ago and the most you should pay for a medication is £12/month (committed to a year), £11 per prescription, or nothing (if you're poor).

This is possible because of the politics and governance of healthcare in the UK: the tech has been around for half a century.
Slightly lower :)

"but Tesla gave away their patents to help humanity."

I remember that marketing trick.

"Change the world"

I remember that one too.

Now I'm a skeptic. I just can't get excited about Tesla claims anymore. My brain has developed defensive mechanisms against their propaganda/PR machine.
A McDonald's owned by McDonald's itself (most are franchises and this is not the case) won't start you below $13, they aren't doing that because they are kind but because they found the wage floor for them to be about there. For context, I started dishwashing at the age of 13 at $8.25 an hour twenty years ago. In your position I wouldn't settle for one of those near minimum wage jobs take a look at things like garden centers, construction labor, bakeries, or even something like doordash that I hesitate to recommend but may be a better deal in this case.

I do wonder why that town has wages so far below what I'm seeing around. Perhaps this has something to do with it being a university town and having lots of unskilled labor? I also do wonder if it being a self fulfilling prophecy is also a possibility, if you get a bunch of people together who belive that wages are lower then they are, a savvy busineessman might make that belief a reality. Either way it's a interesting case study, thanks for sharing your experience and I will consider it further as I continue to look into this topic.
We have ran with s3 origin and a CDN for our static files for years. It has been super solid, almost zero downtime.

One thing that has become an issue, is s3 doesn't let add custom headers, eg. CSP, CORP etc.

We are considering firebase hosting or our own origins behind a CDN for more control over headers. Anyone have any other suggestions?
It supports usb type c docks, which my mic, keyboard, mouse already uses to switch between my main rig and a macbook. And I have a bluetooth mouse of that fails.

Obviously not going to try be productive with an onscreen keyboard and 7" screen - will use it with peripherals in those cases.
Actually your sibling's comment made me realise that you were talking about the old style of ads in web pages.

Within the Google search itself, I was surprised by the number of ads that are disguised as search results. It's grown significantly. Now I have to scroll to get real results...
Sure, that is why I wrote:

> In such a sense then, we can trivially "count" the real numbers unless we hold the philosophical view that there are real numbers that are not expressible. This is where it becomes a question of philosophy of mathematics, not mathematics proper.

I'm not disagreeing with your interpretation of Cantor's diagonal proof, I'm merely pointing out that this interpretation depends on a very specific philosophical view of mathematics, namely the platonist view that the real numbers exist independently from their expressions in any natural or formal language and that it makes sense to say that there are real numbers that are not expressible.

And yeah, nearly all working mathematicians will agree with this view and from their perspective the real numbers are uncountable, period, and you are right that what I sketched "doesn't work".

But I think it's important to remember that there are or could be alternative philosophical views of mathematics that lead to a different interpretation, which will reject not the mathematical validity of Cantor's diagonal proof, but rather its usefulness or relevance. After all, how can you convince someone that there are real numbers that are not expressible? By their very nature they cannot be practically used in any calculation, so how could you convince someone who is not convinced by this philosophical assumption of Cantor's diagonal proof?

In other words, Cantor's diagonal proof cannot prove that there are real numbers that are not expressible, because the proof only makes (philosophical) sense if you accept this viewpoint in the first place.

I really do not relate at all with this article.

There is no doubt that some people will see the opportunity to cash in or become "celebrities" through their hobbies.

But I think there's an healthy number of people that still do it for pleasure.

I keep regularly posting my bedroom-produced music to Soundcloud and bandcamp, but feel completely free of pressure. My work is completely anonymous and it's out there for whoever wants to listen. In fact, the only reason to put it out there is because I like showing my work, definitely, but I truly have no desire for recognition. I guess when it comes to my hobbies, I don't have an ego to bruise.
For me, personally, it doesn't make it "ok" but it's certainly a step less ethically sketchy than if it was just done without their permission.

I can easily imagine that some people would have "ok/not ok" on either side of the "family permission" line though.
Yes, started volunteering at 16, got an offer soon and went fulltime. Dropped out of university. At some time I was working on two jobs, one part time of course, and did some freelance while still working full time.
And likely ineffective.

If there was a secret, simple, safe, inexpensive way to treat Type I diabetes that is also effective there would have been no need for Banting and Best to have killed all those puppies. Unless, of course, you think there is a very effective conspiracy by Big Pharma to cover up that one secret that they hate. I guess they could also hire the Big Fake firm that did the moon landing campaign and the Building 7 demolition.
Good advice. Also one thing that has very often worked for me which I learned from a run-of-the-mill Youtube video is just countdown from 5-4-3-2-1 and then do it for 5 minutes. So many times I've ended up working the whole day after that and often enjoyed myself too.

For a lot of people it's like the static friction vs kinetic friction kinda deal.
I only see one mention of a year towards the end -- 4 April 2009, the date of the first concert -- and the only other date I see is that construction began the 24th of October (with no year). Am I missing something or should I assume he built an amazing sounding piano, like no other piano in the world, with no prior experience, in <6 months?! Unbelievable.

OP has provided zero information in their post or even on their site about who they are and what their qualifications are. Which means they don't have any qualifications.

Is there literally any moderation of the front page, or can any rando submit "ShowHN" posts that are basically spam for a scam?
Well, it’s not that we (Europeans) are “advanced”. It’s more that having a socialized healthcare program is common sense for us. A for-profit company cannot be left in charge of treating patients as there are few patients that could need expensive treatments. No company would want to treat this people.

Other point I would like to make is that our healthcare is not “free”. It’s paid by high taxes be are obligated to pay to the government (the taxes are as high that I don’t even want to know the exact amount in my case but is around 25-30% of my salary).

Many entry-level real analysis courses will cover cardinality after introducing sets and functions. There's also a short article on Wikipedia. [0]

Your intuition about there being more rational numbers might be based on viewing the rationals as a proper superset of the natural numbers. You might similarly consider that there are more natural numbers than even natural numbers. However, by "renaming" every even number, and that shouldn't change how many there are, to half its value, we obtain the natural numbers. Formally, there exists a bijection between N and 2N, as between N and Q, and this is what mathematicians mean when they say that sets have the same size, or cardinality.

In my town there is a shizophrenic lady with a lot of weird signs, which partly are non readable partly outright dangerous should anyone believe that. If she is around, she defenitly is the most noticeable person.

Yet we don't need to censor her, people can decide themself how much they read into this.

The idea to mass censor mentally challenged people likely only increases their hate and gives them confirmation for their believes and even worse hides them from possible help.

It's not the missinformation that is the issue IMO but the people who just follow it without fact checking.
While this is true they are taking their time. Here is an article from 2017 that suggests they will have finished the transition to proof of stake by 2018:

It cost money to leave Windows 10 S mode initially. I had a couple Customers who bought S mode by-default Surface machines (the model with the fuzzy dirt-attracting fabric palm rest) that had to pay the fee to get normal Windows 10. Microsoft dropped the fee requirement fairly soon after introducing the "feature".
We all remember the famous Dropbox comment [0], right? I think the same holds true in this case. Even when there's an IT department to set things up, that still takes effort to set up and maintain. If it's available as a product, easily used and with a support hotline, I can even see medium sized businesses using it - depending on the price, of course.

DVDs (remember those?) bugged me much more. Movie ads at least might be funny.

But buying a DVD to then be pestered with unskipable dire warnings for life and limb if I dare to pirate this DVD was really a bit rich.

I think I'll pirate the next movie so that I'm not forced to endure such gunk.

The enormous lobbying power of multinational pharmaceutical companies results in laws against it.

Prior to this model, protein folding hadn't seen significant advancements in a decade or more. Worrying about the lack of tests in a first of its kind model is very much akin to complaining about the choice of font in a user manual for the world's first warp drive. I understand you're attempting to frame the problem in terms in things you know, but trying to weigh down pioneering research with professional development ceremony is very much counterproductive. The 'missing' ceremony would not have contributed to the strength of AlphaFold's result, the model's only purpose was to compete within the context of an existing validation framework.
But isn't it ultimately the better choice to equip our youth to recognize and deal with dangerous, malicious, scammy, blackmaily or otherwise evil aspects of the internet instead of inevitably failing at trying to keep these things away from them (or vice versa)? In addition to being much more achievable this also trains future generations in fundamental principles of IT security, which is arguably something any nation will desperately need during the next decades.

So instead of attempting to shut the dangerous things away you teach them how to recognize them, why they want to avoid them, why sometimes other kids or even adults fall for it and how they deal with it. Our parents took that approach with us in regards to smoking, drugs and alcohol and it worked out quite well. Or let's say: It worked out a thousand times better as with other kids who just got punished for even looking strange at a pack of cigarettes.

A nice side effect of this is that your kids will be more likely to talk about what stuff they encounter and how it affects them, if you don't try to push them away from the stuff they should not use (punishment), but instead try to pull them into a worldview where that stuff isnt something that interests them in the first place (beyond natural curiosity).
There are a lot of affairs that get passed along to family (or others) after someone death. It would be completely inappropriate for family to close someone's bank account while they still lived; we have no qualms about their doing so after they've died.

The Valve Steam Deck is pretty exciting and well timed.

The Nintendo Switch it the largest console market > 50% and mobile is the biggest market in gaming. So going with that model but with gaming selection of Steam is a smart timed move.

The size of gaming markets are mobile first as the biggest, then PC, then console in terms of gamers with revenues about split in thirds equally across mobile, PC and console -- including handheld the biggest part[1]. Mobile has a bit more than the others and when handheld it not included in console then it is the top. Mobile has 2.2 billion gamers, PC has 750 million, console has just a bit less than PC around 700 million [1]. Though each stationary console has had less than the last in total players, most players are still growing on mobile and even PC [1]. There are also more game developer on PC by 2 to 1 over other platforms, mobile second then console. Developing for console is costly and time consuming.

Consoles that go handheld are smart, even better if they are more open and allow game studios of all sizes to launch on it, games will be better at the high end, even if there are more bad games.

Since consoles like Microsoft Xbox, Sony Playstation and Nintendo are so locked down and hard to enter for indies/small/medium players, PC going handheld/mobile is going to be great for indies/small/medium game developers extending the PC player base. Mobile opened up stores for everyone in 2008-2012, Steam opened up 2012+ and game markets should be more open, especially console as you want to sell hardware and the more games the better.

The first iteration of the handheld hardware may or may not hit, even the WiiU failed initially, but the beauty of Steam is there are no games you can or can't play on specific consoles. They don't need launch titles. Steam Deck gen 1, 2, 3 will all have the same games. Steam has a competitive advantage here on selection due to their openness.

Consoles and PCs are stationary and that is why mobile does so well, you can play anywhere. Handheld does well as well because you can take it with you and can game at a desk or on the couch or at work. Game streaming changes this a bit allowing you to game on your devices on the go, but having a beefier device that can play all types of games is surely going to have at least some market. Lots of times I am working on my PC and shutting all down to game seems too tasking but you could play Steam games on the Deck while keeping work open or allow gaming to fit in your day more when you aren't at your PC.

Very, very excited for the larger potential market for PC games on a handheld console! This massively helps indie/small/medium players get more gamers and handheld is a unique new market for PC games.

Methods for radically better tech work
I keep seeing adverts for what's basically a bedsheet with £5 worth of copper wire in it sold at a ridiculous price as an "earthing mat". Not only is this shamelessly a scam, it also plugs into the mains so if they wire it badly (which as a shameless scam seems pretty likely) that's 240 V directly into your sleeping body. I've reported it as a scam so many times but nothing gets done.

If that bullshit worked you could just throw yourself in the sea for free rather than paying some pillock on Facebook. No better connection to earth than that!
Oh man, I feel exactly the same way. Even if it is something I actually like, just getting started can be so hard.

My only real trick is to try and do something for ten minutes and then I can continue or not as I want. Often I want to continue, sometimes so much I get irrationally angry on the timer because it interrupts my work.

Do you have any other strategies?
It's more the attitude of various creators. Some have a jobsian "this is how you should do it"; others frenetic, "next time it'll be perfect", others, "you dont really need this!". Etc.
The software development community is connected globally and there's doubtlessly a common culture which is shared between software developers which visit social networks like HN, github, reddit, etc. One aspect of this culture which bothers me in particular is the idea that learning programming languages is unconditionally good.

I've focused on C++ and Python, but never used the latter for big projects and even that showed. I had to reach for the docs more, I had to look into idioms or patterns more for Python whereas my C++ flowed.

While it took me maybe one or two weeks to become familiar with the syntax of a language and write reasonably idiomatic code, it took months to really grasp the ecosystem and more than a year of work in that language to use it like a native and develop expertise in it.

The languages which I've had to learn for specific projects, such as Objective-C, Java or C# have been mostly forgotten. There's a very strong correlation there with the size and length of the project. I think some knowledge is still there and I would be faster to reach competency if I had to use them again, but I would in no way claim to know for example Objective-C now.

Now that I haven't programmed seriously in about two years because of a role change, I can definitely see the impact on my C++ skills: I don't know much about C++17 and up and I've started to find code harder to grasp. Not individual pieces of code, but rather the whole, as if when I step back I no longer have an intuitive grasp about it. I find some language constructs ugly and confusing and no longer feel so attached to C++ or even programming surprisingly enough.
Ironically I've been doing some data science stuff in Python, so my skills are pretty much the same there.

I don't like learning programming languages unless I also get something else in return for the time invested. For example I've found an interesting book about systems programming (Rust in Action), so I'll recap my systems programming and also learn some Rust on the side. Pure language books like Programming Rust, even if targeted at C++ programmers and otherwise good do nothing for me. I'd rather learn more about the software/hardware areas I'm interested in.

You can build a binary distro based on Gentoo, e.g. https://github.com/sakaki-/gentoo-on-rpi-64bit (sadly EOL'ed several months ago).

Anyway, from my own experience, the video decoding performance of gentoo-on-rpi-64bit was somehow nowhere close to LibreELEC, on the same hardware. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learnt there...

I discovered this when I wrote a Vim function to automatically update the serial of the SOA record (can be easy to forget if in a hurry) whenever I saved a zone file. It worked fine for my own zone files, similar to:

$ORIGIN example.com.
@ IN SOA ns.example.info. hostmaster.example.info. (
2021031306 ; Serial
12h ; Refresh (secondary server accepts zone update notifications)
2h ; Retry (how long secondary should wait before retrying)
14d ; Expire (how long records should be considered valid by secondary)
1h ; NXDOMAIN (Nonexistent domain) TTL – previously the Minimum TTL
)

I considered publishing my Vim script but figured I should improve it so that it would work for all valid zone files. Then I read the Master Files section of RFC 1035¹ and realised that this would be more difficult than I had assumed. I’m also not particularly proficient with Vimscript so I never published it. Since then, I’ve converted my zones to be dynamic so I don’t need to worry about formatting or updating the serial.

Out of interest, which name server had the most robust parsing of zone files?

Clearly, people will prefer their own in-group. I think, however, you just made the parent poster's point.

People will often prefer their own in-group to themselves.

Thus, it depends on how one defines the in-group, and one's own interests.

Looking at Coldtea's earlier comment:

>It's either pushed to us by greed, or given to us as a substitute for things we'd rather have (no friends, but here are games you can buy), (no work-life balance, but here's Netflix you can watch when you're home exhaused from work), (no community, but here's social media, go argue with strangers), etc.

showing how the 'in-group' has shrunk. Used to be a larger tribe, now you could be lucky to consider it an atomic family.
