I don’t see this as problematic because, at least for Eastern European countries, the west absorbed some of their unemployment, while they were catching up, potentially reducing internal tensions and smoothing the transition to a modern high value-added economy. Access to the European market allowed them to become part of the German value-chain, which produced wealth and exported technology and know-how. All this while receiving transfers from the West to build infrastructure.

I’m not sure what alternative scenario we could have had. I think that Poland outside the EU would have ended up closer to Ukraine than to where it is now (Poland GDP per capita PPP is 3x the Ukrainian).

Big fan of I3. This may sound superficial, but I've moved away from tiling window managers because everything just looks so ugly. There's something to be said for having a window at ~75% full size with drop shadow around it and a bit of your desktop background showing. It's easier on the eyes. I say this with a heavy hand on heart because I was an enthusiastic user and advocate for xmonad and I3 for several years.

- Painless refactoring. I change field "foo.bar" into "foo.quux" and the same field changes everywhere else in the (huge) codebase. Or I change the field name in the type declaration and immediately see what's broken.

- Integrated documentation. I see "foo", I see it's type, I see what can I do with it (if it's OO-like).

It is worse than useless. You do not need social media to call someone - on phone or on video, to send an email, organize an online game, chat on whatever messenger (Why do we need a new one every few months?) or even send a snail mail letter. Even an old-style message board is better for social interactions than social media.
Thanks for the perspective on the interviewees. Overall seems like a really terrible article trying to present a "balance" of perspectives and not once considering there's truth to be had.

But a big point of hosting it internally is that you don't have to.
They have commercialised it. Axiom has bought a couple of flights on Dragon V2 and they've sold a Starship flight around the moon.

The biggest difference is the price and that they only sell full flights rather than individual seats.
The downvotes make no sense to me. Maybe mentioning the value of open source, as you did, is disliked? Dunno. Weird.
Yeah, those labels are beyond useless, and it's just a shortcut for a caricature of the opponent in the mind of whoever uses them. E.g. someone who is vaccine-hesistant might be lazily pigeon-holed as a dumb racist Trump supporter. People use "socialism" to think Sweden but the other side thinks China and Nazi since they know the "zi" stood for socialism and that means Bernie Sanders wants to gas his own folk.
3D can be nice if done well and the animations are good. Monopoly on mobile has good really fast animations and a game can be played in like 30 min against AI. Monopoly on Switch is terrible as you have to watch each literal slow dice roll, piece movement, etc. at normal speed. It takes FOREVER.

There are a lot of reasons to get the newest phone with the best features, and many of those reasons are not wholesome ones.

For example, my iPhone 6 is getting obsolete just because it would not get latest iOS updates. Many apps are no longer supporting the old OS version. Yet these apps are not video games requiring the latest hardware - they are simply glorified web pages. There is no objective reason for why the phone could not run them.
So can I, but I have frugality and patience.
I get the sense that there are a few Atlassian employees on HN this morning...

Jira and Confluence are "okay" at what they do, but they're horribly inefficient. I wonder how much energy would be saved if all the JIRA and Confluence server farms were replaced with single servers or redundant setups running something more efficient.

Atlassian seems to be one of the subjects of the 2000's versions of the old line: "nobody got fired for buying IBM".

Anyway the discussion in this thread is interesting to me - just to hear about the alternatives.
Years ago I had an old Apple eMate 300 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMate_300. It was surprisingly good! I wrote a lot on it, and it was even able to print wirelessly via IR. They put a ton of features into it, surprising for an education-centric device. It was the OLPC before OLPC was a gleam in anyone’s eye.
Maybe it has to do with so-called "suicide shower"[1] popular in emerging markets, which is a type of shower heads with exposed live wires and a heater element inside that magically warms water as it passes. An AC adapter joining that is going to be a smoke and fire magic show.

Australia stands by coal 'beyond 2030' after UN warns of economic havoc
Hugely more pollution (increased exponentially from 100 years ago as shown in graphs).

Higher temperatures (climate change, not the same as pollution).

Worsening infrastructure (the US, for example, is turning into a developing world country in many areas) as opposed to the era of great infrastructure projects, from scryscrappers and railways to the interstate system .

Lower/flattening productivity increases (as opposed to continuous productivity booms 100 years ago).

Lower/flattening invention rate (the low hanging fruits ended circa 1950-60).

More surveillance (in fact more, even at solely the state level, than even Stazi had, and with infinite potential for targeted surveillance).

Thining middle class (as opposed to incresing middle class 100 years ago).

Hugely increased inequality.

Crumbling pension systems (as opposed to pension systems being developed 100 years ago).

There are also a few tricks such "we're getting better" treatises use:

1) use the progress in countries starting from a very low bar to offset regressions in more developed countries (and since the third world countries have higher population, use an average state to shove it to the face of doubters who see their own lives and those of their countries/societies get worse and worse). This is kind of like averging Jeff Bezos' and mine wealth (kinda: what it does it says since e.g. 1 billion people went from $1/day to $2/day this is a huge 200% increase, who cares is another billion went from $100/day to $80/day and falling...).

2) take official measurements (made to make states and organizations affecting change look good) as the ground truth

3) when convenient, compare with say a century back, not 30 and 40 years back (e.g. when people didn't even have the notion of a pension, not when you expected and got one).

4) ignore any qualitative metric.
> Growth doesn’t mean that we make materially more things, but that we make better things. Compared to a torch, a calculator, a phone, a GameBoy, etc… an iPhone requires far less raw materials. This can be applied to any industry, so exponential growth is indeed possible.

In the debate, this is called decoupling, meaning the decoupling of rising material and/or energy consumption with economic growth.

The problem is that absolute decoupling couldn't been shown anywhere, when looking at actual empirical data. This is a pretty exhaustive summary of current research about this: https://eeb.org/library/decoupling-debunked/

No, the podman socket is only necessary if you want to expose the docker API. This can then be used with the docker cli (or docker-compose). The podman cli interface is close to the docker cli interface, which is why you can do `alias docker=podman`. With the socket you would be using the official docker cli (or docker-compose), not the podman cli.

Laptops work when plugged in without a battery.

Both drawing power from a battery and charging seem to heat them up, perhaps both at the same time would exceed their thermal limits or at least degrade the lifespan of the battery.

I suspect devices that work while plugged in have circuitry that entirely or at least partially bypasses the battery to power the device. Then I guess it's a question of if the intended usage of the device can justify the additional complexity/failure modes/cost of the additional circuitry.
Cases like this always remind me this XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/538/

Technology people always want to imagine that technology will save/deceive them.

Imagine a situation where some "enemy of the state" is using some "secure" service like "securomail" or similar.

Is it hard to imagine Police/Interpol/KGB coming to the offices of "securomail" and demanding providing IP addresses, no longer encrypting, installing malware for this particular user, etc? Or else all the C-level of "securomail" are "helping the enemy of the state" with all the consequences.

There is always this "5$ wrench human layer" which no technology will protect from.

I wonder why the article has the title '20170629-the-hidden-signs-that-can...' in the url. That date would suggest it's from the 29th of june 2017 (while the date below the headlines says 2020), way before the current breakthroughs of deep fakes.
This reduces to "Space Opera is 1950s/60s US TV in Space"

Which is almost tautological.

It's very difficult to do free-form SF that isn't rooted in familiar cultural tropes because readers need something relatable to stand on.

Something like Dune is probably as far as you can go without falling off the edge of the world.

It has exotic elements - drug-producing giant worms, drug-induced space navigation, and so on - but it's really just a novel about colonisation and imperial politics. Everything - including the worms, the spice, the fremen, and the BG - is a metaphor for different vectors of power.

If you wrote a novel where humans were a kind of cancerous fruiting body evolved by an intelligent forest - not too far from the truth, in a very lateral way - it would be far too weird for most readers because it would be too distant from familiar experience.

Carping about hard SF details is beside the point, even when the points are valid. It's trying to turn fiction into engineering, which is not what fiction is for.

Most readers don't give extra points for build-ability in SF, and if they did writers would be left with a very small imaginative space to explore - the one we have now, where everything is chemical rockets and budgeting.
> docker-compose can be replaced with real K8s pod definitions for the most part

Even though the study looks very clear and crisp but the paper talks about theory of mind, etc. whereas dogs IMO are body language masters.

It's not obvious that they need to model what the other animal (us) are "thinking" when they just need to pay attention to how we're moving our limbs which is correlated with wether something is by accident or intentional
I really appreciate the detail on the "Remaining bits" part. I like the minimalism/simplicity of i3 and the philosophy of doing a few things well, rather than everything a bit, but it also makes it hard sometimes to know what pieces of the puzzle one's still missing. Especially since it's a puzzle with no unique solution, so I find it really valuable to learn of an additional perspective.

Whenever I used TODOs, they are documenting an unwanted behaviour in code that was forced by external circumstances: eg. the version of the OS doesn't support a nice feature. In this case I will add a block beginning with "// TODO(redleader55) - 2021-09-06: remove the workaround and uncomment the code below when OS supports XXXX". You can configure a linter to complain about unowned TODOs, about not having a date or an issue number in the TODO.

There are several differences between a TODO in comments and a compile time check:

1. Such a linter would work for all possible languages with minimal changes - ie. adding the pattern for a comment.

2. You can choose to run the linter only for modified lines.

3. If you need, you can run and gather all TODOs in a project or across the whole codebase from time to time.

4. You can change the requirements - ie. adding an issue/task or the owner to the text of the TODO - without having to update all the old TODOs

5. It doesn't impact the compile time, since it is a comment
I suspect this usage is an awkward phrasing of “told him how to accomplish the result he wanted”; even though in common usage it implies a lack of overall competence, here I think it just implied a lack of a specific recipe/technique.
Any time a SaaS gets compromised there's a similar comment here about how obviously this is going to happen when you give someone else your data, and it should have just all been within your own firewall, unexposed directly to the Internet.

I mean right this minute there's a privacy-focused SaaS on the front page for not being as private as everyone thinks. There's also a network hardware vendor on the front page for including back doors. A philosophy like "SaaS vendors know they can't allow security breaches" is really glossing over the need for layers of security and knowing that it's ultimately all on the trustworthiness of specifically who is involved.

This is a bit of a misleading title and article. The author claims to be against degrowth but then essentially makes arguments for it, with the caveat that we shouldn't reduce production, but only reduce consumption. That's despite the fact that degrowth is primarily about reducing resource use, not really about reducing other measures of productivity. Degrowth isn't about avoiding all work, reducing the production of solar panels, or stopping the building of passive housing, it's about cutting wasteful activity in favor of sustainable activity, much like the article advocates for. This requires significant central planning, which they both say is a non-starter and then advocate for in the form of forced green development. Ultimately, I don't see a big difference between their proposed way forward and that of the "degrowthers". It could even be regarded as a treatise on what degrowth could look like in practice.

Regardless of what mechanism we might invent for styling our growth oriented economy into a consumption reducing one, a big intervention is required, and we do need to intervene to avoid slamming (on ecological timescales) into malthusian limits in the ugliest way.

Maybe this is just me, but I think we need a new word for people who pay to take a ride on a spacecraft but have nothing to do with the operation or mission of that spacecraft. "Payload" seems rude, perhaps "passengers"?

Whatever they are, they're not astronauts.
Most issues we hit are solved by the monitoring GUIs (Atlas, FlameCommander, PerfDash, S3 log collection, etc.), but some aren't, and there's a ton more information available from the CLI tools. Imagine losing your five nines because no one can SSH on and try a few ad hoc tools.

But yes, CLI can be dangerous, even for observability. E.g., people running strace(1) on production apps and causing outages due to the strace overhead (I wrote a prior post about that). You need to understand the risks and overheads of all tools. It's why I have a "pull no punches" policy when writing eBPF tool man pages [0]: If the overhead can be bad, it should say so clearly.

Show HN: Styli.sh – A wallpaper switcher for most Linux desktop environments
A few weeks ago a Russian-speaking friend in the aerospace industry (hey Dennis!) surprised me with photos of Yuri Gagarin (and other cosmonauts from Air Force Group 1) engaging with a re-usable lifting body aircraft, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836685279875956746/87...

The vehicle was the subject of his thesis with the following diagrams apparently being sourced from it, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/836685279875956746/87... The design is a fairly striking, lifting body design being pursued in the early 60s! (Russian source, http://www.buran.ru/other/Buran_Gagarin.pdf )

This meant that the first human in orbit and on another heavenly body both worked on reusable space vehicles (Gagarin's vehicle and the Dyna-Soar by Neil Armstrong). That's a fairly incredible coincidence that begs the question; why? Why did two different agencies - walled off from each other at opposite ends of the world - converge on the same design?

Apparently, as with many things from that era, the answer is the Nazis. More specifically, the Silbervogel, a lifting-body, sub-orbital, liquid-fuel-rocket-powered vehicle designed in the 1930s by Irene Bredt and Eugene Sanger. This is the very first known design of its kind, and it seems to have shaped much of aerospace history. For e.g. regeneratively cooled nozzles trace their history back to this design, as the Silbervogel was designed to operate with one due to their early experiments/tests. They also did substantial work in the physical and physio-chemical properties of liquid-fueled rockets that stands as some of the earliest work on the subject.

Eugene Sanger has become well known in rocketry circles and has been credited for some of the analytical techniques used to estimate the performance of liquid-fueled rockets due to his book, Raketenjlugtechnik (Rocket Flight Technology) that he published in 1933 (along with additional literature later on). Because of this public material, the field remembers him as one of the origin points for these analytical techniques. But it turns out that might be wrong.

Thanks to the records about the silbervogel and subsequent reports - http://www.astronautix.com/data/saenger.pdf , I've found that Sanger was the engineer who designed the lifting body, but Irene was the mathematician and physicist who modeled their experiments and derived the calculations we use today. This fact is fairly exciting to a nerd like me. It's my first contribution to academia/the official record! :)

However, it's not that far off to say that Bredt & Sanger are both the progenitors of multiple sub-fields of modern aerospace research, especially re-usable spaceplanes.
If you make it a form, you can generate an fdf file and use something like pdftk to add it to the pdf and then flatten it so it isn't editable if desired.
Forums? There used to be so many of them. They're about niche stuff, not a public space for all humanity. If they ban someone, what does it matter? It's literally an entertainment site, a hobby. People can always just make a new account if they really want to.

Social media is huge and centralized. Government officials post in there. Not having an account can cost people their jobs. It causes people to be isolated from friends and family.

At some point, the social media platform's freedom must be reduced lest they perpetrate far worse injustices upon individuals.

And that's why I don't use a tiling window manager. I prefer to use my brain for actual work, not futzing around with configuration and OS BS. I mean if it takes 3000 lines of code to make your friggin window manager work then you're doing it wrong.
