Thank you! I really appreciate your take on it. Very valid concerns, and we are well aware. Here's the "map of the ocean" we were able to collate over the last few months: https://www.notion.so/diggerdev/Landscape-around-Digger-2e22...

We are indeed VC backed. And we know that it's a tough market to crack. But we also know that the opportunity is enormously large - because the right product could replace a large chunk of DevOps consulting, and from there expand into the holy grail of the "enterprise core". So worth trying.

Yes it can be written in minutes by a seasoned DevOps engineer. But access to seasoned DevOps engineers means either hiring them full-time or paying a huge consulting premium.

Yes people want to own their Terraform - and we encourage that. You can simply connect your repository with TF and Alicorn will do two-way sync.
Vaccine effectiveness goes up the more people have them. So let’s say a vaccine confers 60% immunity (not what the actual vaccines provide, whose numbers are much more complicated), that is basically friction that slows the virus’s spread around. Now, if almost everyone is vaccinated, that friction is enough for the virus to fizzle out and the pandemic to end. If only a few people are vaccinated, then the virus still has a lot of friction free hosts to infect, and because it is thriving, it can even mutate faster to get around the vaccine’s friction.

Think of the vaccine as a collective attempt to stop the virus, not as a personal attempt. The more people are vaccinated, the higher chance this pandemic will end and we can get back to normal. Anti vaxxers are extremely annoying here. Also, hopefully the vaccine is approved for children soon.
Yes. For some operating systems like NixOS there are not even official packages.
> Is it legal to prevent someone from going back to their country if they are not vaccinated?

I think that all depends on the country. I'd imagine it would be some variation of requiring a test and a quarantine.
Fixed upper limits are helpful but do not prevent OOM. Perhaps the system has very little free memory due to other programs or limited hardware or other reasons but your program is intended to load large files on systems that have the memory so the upper limits are pretty high.

It's takes very little memory to show the user an error message it will almost always succeed even if the operation that triggered failed due to OOM.
Is getting COVID after having been jabbed twice within the last 6-months worse than the regular flu in terms of mortality risk or ICU risk?
It passes all tests so no further development is necessary.
The problems go deeper than geology, unfortunately.

(Figuratively/literally.)
One can only hope... Streisand effect, anyone?
Personally, I'd be fine with using Sid as a desktop as long as all data was backed up - but that should be a given for any OS.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite, though, as I use a Mac for daily use. I do run Debian Stable for my servers, though! With Bullseye nearing completion, it looks like it's about time to bake some new VMs.
You don't seem to know anything about the "web people" you're criticizing here. PHP skills learned two decades ago are still very relevant today. It's the Java of the web world.
“The Segway Is Going to Change the World”
If it's not possible, it's not studied or researched, so it will never be proven otherwise.

It's much more open-ended to say the opposite; that it's possible until it's proven not to be.

Much of our knowledge was discovered or formulated either because a person didn't know it "wasn't possible" or in defiance of consensus.
You are vastly overthinking this.

If you don’t want to use social media, you don’t have to. It won’t end your career or social life. If you’re struggling this badly with just thinking about social media, maybe it’s best if you stay away.

If you do choose to use social media, you don’t have to use it a certain way. Keep in touch with friends if you want. Or don’t. Up to you. There’s no requirement that you get sucked into endless social media debates.

> Addition: I even have to stay away from Hacker News regulary

Hacker News is a form of social media. We’re here having discussions with up and down votes. It’s not that different than other social media sites like Reddit, except for the topics and moderation format.
Your original is better, he is just emphasizing the loss in modern internet English slang.

I jumped around a bit, and I'd say the video looks like a zoom call with poor internet. The portion that was "cg" wasn't too different that conference calls I've been on where the signal is messed up.
I gave it a go with Google BigQuery:

https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/y-combi...

First, number of stories where url begins with "http".

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE INSTR(url, "http") = 1;

Output:

1729544

Then, number of stories with non-zero length text:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0;

Output:

218726

And then, this should be the number of stories that has both.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0;

Output:

113550

Seemed like an awfully high number though.

SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0 LIMIT 3;

Ah. I see then that there's a lot of spam posts. (Note: The order of the rows may be different from run to run I think, and I didn't feel like adding "order by" stuff. So it could be that you don't see the spam from issuing this one query above.)

Anyways, let's require score > 0.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE score > 0 AND INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0;

Output:

113322

Still really high. Let's limit ourselves to score > 25.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE score > 25 AND INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0;

Output:

1677

Ah, that's better.

And somewhere between? Say, with score > 8.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE score > 8 AND INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0;

Output:

3458

And let's look at some of them.

SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories` WHERE score > 8 AND INSTR(url, "http") = 1 AND CHAR_LENGTH(text) > 0 LIMIT 5;

Here's one of the ones I get:

Title: Calling the NSA: "I accidentally deleted an e-mail, can you help me recover it?".

Text: A nice thought and practically the same thing that Google does. You hand in your privacy, but you get services back in return.

Id: 6306219. Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6306219

Seems pretty clear that this is an example of a comment to go along with the submission. And it was preserved, although not shown in the thread as we know.

And with Algolia we indeed get the story comment shown as well. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%09Calling+the+NSA%3A+%22I+acciden...

Well, there you have it!

So this also makes me realize that third-party HN clients could use this to offer users the ability to write and to see story texts that don't display on HN itself due to there being an URL attached to the story, but which are still stored on the HN servers and returned by the HN API. That's pretty neat :)
The idea of a city split into two by ideologically opposing factions, and the split being marked by a big wall, sounds like sci-fi now.

Also, the idea that a physical barrier could affect the spread of information.

Its interesting how much of 20th century history centers on Berlin.

There's a wall museum in Berlin, well worth visiting.

Edit: thanks for the reminders about contemporary split cities, sobering to think about those

I used to have it up on Thingiverse but I deleted it and wanted to move all my designs to Thangs but it somehow never happened. So I just reuploaded it to Thingiverse, here's the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4932279

It was the first thing I created in Fusion 360 while learning the basics of 3D printing and CAD so it's not the most professional :)
Since I’m not the one who used my sisters death to sell a product - and I mean really read what she wrote, she is purposely insinuating that she is having a love affair with the product. “I’ve never read such an accurate Modern Love in my life”, “I felt acutely that there was something illicit about what I was doing” , “One night, when my husband was asleep” - I think I’m being quite nice about it. If I knew this person in real life I don’t believe I would be as nice.
This is all going to depend on exactly how much $$$ you have to spend. The major step-wise jumps in cost can usually be attributed to higher resolution photo techniques and the precision tools required.

Most of the other processes can theoretically be carried out at garage-scale, as the precision is more about chemistry than dimension or scale.
IOS will replace Mac OS, the writing has been on the wall for a while now, iOS is where the money comes in and where most usage is, and maintaining dual development apis is painful and costly.

Apple doesn’t need to rush this process, but it is inevitable IMO, and is foreshadowed by actions like allowing iOS apps to run on macOS, moving Mac OS closer in UI to mobile, adding essentials like file handling to the mobile os.

At this point the underlying OS is the same, the UIs are converging, the UI frameworks for iOS are almost capable of replacing Mac OS, and it would be relatively easy to merge them in the next few years, keeping some extra layers of UI for macs but merging most of it and certainly the dev frameworks. We may see touchscreen macs or dockable iOS devices first though.
Legal is what the government of a given country says is legal. My understanding is that New Zealand for example allows returning travelers but they have to stay in designated quarantine hotels and those are basically unavailable.
You can only do that with some error, e.g. your simulation needs some time step that controls the tradeoff between computational resources used and accuracy of the results. For any fixed time step, after enough time your simulation will completely diverge from reality.
We believe we've cracked "the second you want to customise" problem. We offer 3 levels of customisation below the UI: config file options, Terraform overrides and entirely custom Terraform targets. So it really is fully native, not a black box. All the simplifications are completely optional - you can change whatever you want, whenever you want.
> privately owned business corporations (“capitalism”) have done a great job bringing down the cost of photovoltaic panels, developing electric vehicles that people want to drive, creating promising fake meat substitutes, and otherwise creating the building blocks of a sustainable economy.

Even if we attribute this stuff to "capitalism" (instead of "workers" for example), I'm pretty sure none of it is actually sustainable.

>Now of course we don’t have carbon pricing, and I think we never will because it’s hideously unpopular. But that’s the essence of the climate crisis — not an ideological crisis for liberalism, but tragically a crisis of mass indifference.

So we don't have carbon tax because of mass indifference to the planet being destroyed? Otherwise carbon taxes? Whatever, lib.

For those interested, I've done some recent research on this topic [1], which tries to find cycles of colors that optimize both accessibility for color vision deficiencies, using simulations and minimum perceptual distances, and aesthetics, using crowd-sourced survey data.

We should also avoid using Amazon due to absurd employee treatment, Google for privacy violations, any oil company because of everything they stand for, etc.

It's a little rich to look through fingers with all other companies because it would be inconvenient otherwise, and then boycott VW that saw its punishment.

dude, they're not trying to do that there they're just trying to one up each other. Just like you're trying to do with this comment. It's the hn ape brain mind.
I need a real computer. I don’t mind a few UI ideas being borrowed where they make sense but if I can’t run anything I want on it and can’t multitask or combine things together it is not a real computer.

iOS works fine for a phone. It’s worthless for my job or my personal interests.

Is it released yet ? The download page still gives a download link to the version 10.10
Yes, I still use vagrant, on pretty much every project I work on - both my own/my companies, and client projects.

I'll give two examples of how I use it:

I (or technically, my company) produce a number of tools for managing various common aspects of a Linux web application stack.

For each tool, there's a regular Vagrant VM setup from the root of the repo, which is used for basic testing, building, running tests etc - essentially this is just to achieve a known state, and to abstract the environment from whatever OS it's running on.
Some of the tools either specifically require, or support, 'cluster' mode, where some kind of state or configuration is managed across multiple machines. For these tools, there's an additional multi-machine Vagrantfile (generally just in a subdir) which sets up a mini cluster of 2 or 3 nodes, and allows testing of the sync/replication/what have you.

For a client I work with right now, we again, use it in two ways, achieving two separate goals:

The primary, day to day use, is providing a completely self-contained local dev environment for the webapp. This setup is used for anyone doing dev on the app - backend, frontend, whatever.

The less common, but still very necessary use, is similar to what you mentioned, multi-machine infra testing. The infra for this client is all provisioned using a shell script that works on a system of roles and environments. To test this, the repo with the setup has a vagrant config that matches the production environment.

Additionally, this repo also has a packer config, which builds a custom base box, for the aforementioned "day to day dev" Vagrant env, using the same setup script.

As mentioned by @ocdtrekkie, Vagrant is relatively stable. It'll be interesting to see where 3.0 takes things, but right now it's a pretty reliable tool, that just gets the job done.

Edit: typo (anything -> anyone)
> Only 10% of Canadians are opposed to vaccines, so it won't be an unpopular choice.

What does “opposed to vaccines” even mean? Vaccines for anybody? Vaccines for themselves? Mandatory vaccines?

I sincerely doubt 10% of even Canada is in favor of mandating everyone be vaccinated to live what was once a normal life.

EDIT: I meant that last sentence in reverse, ie doubt that only 10% is against mandatory vaccinations. I’d wager it’s much higher.
If you read the question it isn't clear that they actually store passwords in plaintext, they might of sent it along with the welcome email prior to hashing it.
I think if you re-read my comment you'll see that I was specifically making a point about reduction in transmission in vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals, not efficacy. Re-reading it myself, I see that might not have been 100% clear, so apologies if that's the case. For the record I don't doubt the vaccines reduce risk of death.
Just code as normal and when you run into a problem, reassign the default allocator for the struct/object? Not possible for many PLs, hard for some but basically trivial (1 LOC per struct/object) for others.

Some PLs come with test suites that give you a failing allocator, so you can even easily test to make sure this looping condition resolves sanely.
>There's a natural limit to what may be achieved with low/no code tool. Kids might be able to drag a few elements on screen to create charts and games, but that sort of work doesn't really advance the field.

Ahhh, who said the point in the future would be to advance the field? That is how we think. Future generations might be content with a few "programming geniuses" and everyone else making simplistic apps for work for fun.

You could see this future coming. It is already onerous to be a desktop developer on Windows or Mac. It is purposely easier to develop and deploy simplistic mobile apps that can be controlled and monitored by the "stores" that distribute them.
NFOX – The Decline (1999)
They were talking about the out of box experience. Until maybe 2019 iPhones came with a Lightning to USB-A cable and all MacBooks since 2016 had no USB-A ports, meaning that for years it was possible to go into the Apple shop and buy a new phone, and a new laptop, and have no way to connect the two without spending more money on top of the several thousand pounds you’ve already spent.
There doesn't seem to be an age limit on this which is interesting. Someone posted a worker visa website the other day and some of them had age limits like applicant has to be < 35 yo.
Author using AI as a form of algorithmic MDMA to get in touch with her feelings. I can see how she selects AI passages of deeper reflection and inspection.

Yes, it feels fake from the surface level to pick from words that AI generates. But the same principle applies to a psychologist's suggestive words during a consultation, IMO.
Without working Kerberos support for SMB shares... and without freeipa-client... sigh
Seems perfectly reasonable. I would be against vaccinating people by force. I'm not against telling them they can't fly, eat at a restaurant, or attend a concert if they choose to not be vaccinated.

ADDED: Governmental mandates vs. rules established by private organizations is a reasonable debate. I probably prefer the latter in most cases. For example, I'm attending an event in about a month and they're requiring vaccinations and masks. If you're not OK with that, just don't go.
I noticed that too on GCP. Many of my workloads don't need a public address but it's still simpler and cheaper to set one.

Wow! IPv4 addresses are like oil. We think we've run out, then we get better methods like "fracking" and "shale oil" and we can squeeze out a few more barrels of them.
> We don't need every atom in the universe to be able to have 16 public addresses.

IPv6 isn't even remotely that big. There are about 10^38 IPv6 addresses, 10^50 atoms on Earth, and 10^80 atoms in the universe.
Some of these skills must be used in concert to be successful. Example 1 (absorbing) 3 (asking questions after being stuck) and 10 (being able to communicate progress) is generally how you should ask questions to your peers to show you’ve done your leg work and aren’t just making someone else do your work.
Those countries require taxation of citizens regardless of residency. Citizens elsewhere are taxed based upon residency (the last time I checked). Also - if you are a US citizen you get $120k tax free if out of the country for 11 months. $240k for married.

100%. If I understand correctly. to change a single line (say some behaviour that is wrong for your workflow) of a VSCode plugin you have to fork it on Github.

In Emacs it would probably be a short snippet, tested in your scratch buffer and added to the end of your init.el:

This is what I miss the most about Emacs - what I don't miss is the endless configuration/tweaking...

I bought an iPad Pro recently, and I hate the fact that I can’t run any of my favorite macOS apps on it despite the fact that the hardware is more than capable. And no web browsers / browser extensions / PWAs?

DDR5-4800 Clashes with DDR4-3200 in Alder Lake Benchmarks
Like the pencil these are for specific subsets of use cases, they are not a primary interaction mode but more like specialist support for optional peripherals, the same way desktops support graphics tablets and trackballs. When I described Mac interfaces as keyboard/mouse you didn't say "oh, and also graphics, tablets, trackballs and VR headsets". They're an edge case.
I wrote about my dad some time after he had passed away some years ago.

I wrote about my stepfather after he had passed in February.

And I wrote about my father in law after he had suddenly passed away in May.

Every single time it was hard. emotionally. But it was a cathartic moment at the same time. I remembered what made me feel connected. What they meant to me.

To outsource this to a machine would have robbed me of emotions, wonderful memories and closure.

But I have to say from experience, that writing about them was a totally different thing than to read these words at their funeral.

This was very, very much a different beast. It still makes me tear up thinking about it. It still makes me choke.
It's disturbing to me that depending on what argument is being made, the vaccines are both highly effective and simultaneously not effective enough. It doesn't get to be both when it's convenient.
Well said—-exactly this sort of thing.
It's all very relative and depends on your operational complexity. If what you are building is working fine with VMs and you don't see negative impact on your business from operating it yourself, then sure - why fix what's not broken?

But for thousands of small businesses out there, not speaking of medium and large ones, cloud providers replace one or more full time employees who'd otherwise be busy maintaining and supporting their stacks. You can do the math. From that point of view AWS & co are dirt cheap.
How to Land the Perfect Data Science Graduate Position (and Succeed in It)
With respect to your dad, how did he explain the shots outside of the airplane? Did he interpret that as a helicopter flying around the airplanes with a video camera?

Also, I'd like to point out that Microsoft has skillfully choosen scenes that are "easy" to create: airplanes with smooth shapes, buildings from long distances and low detail, landscapes that don't include movement (no grass moving in the wind or waves lapping on the shore). MS set them selves up for success here.
But we aren't the middle children of history. I'd argue that we are amongst the first few generations where humans have become too powerful for their own good. That era started with the nuclear bomb when we first had the ability to destroy ourselves. Thankfully very small groups of people have ever had to take responsibility for that and they've mostly managed to do okay so far. However now with mass industrialization and the spectre of climate change we've reached a point where every single human is responsible for our collective future. We have to fight our evolutionary and historical instincts to preserve the planet for ourselves and all other life. So there is a crisis upon us, it may be different in nature to the ones before but its certainly no less challenging. For a far better argued view on this I would recommend "The precipice" by Toby Or
Very fair point :) All my other dependencies, using 5 year old versions is fine; it’s mostly just PHP that gets an order of magnitude less-painful to work with in each release, so being stuck a few versions behind is extra frustrating...
