One thing I've noticed is that the perception of reality varies by scope of the viewer. An example I've lived a few years ago; from a high level (c-suite) an acquisition can have subsidiarys that aren't aligned with the main business and will never meet the profit margin required. Thus if the low margin subsidiary loses customers and whithers away, it's not really a big deal. In fact it's probably favorable to the bottom line for the subsidiary to do the bare minimum to keep the lights on. Ideally the subsidiary can be sold or spun off. Sometimes that's not possible.

I lived the smaller scope as a software development manager in the subsidiary. Merit increases were minimal or non existent, annual layoffs were normal. My peers were passionate about the customers and continuing to support them even though it was clear from the C-level actions they cared nothing for the business. At my level there was a lot of anguish and consternation about the customers and business. As expected, the subsidiary started seeing a lot resignation as the most experienced people left, accelerating the decline. My team saw 75% attrition in 6 months. Customers started leaving.

The old saying "perception is reality" has some bearing here. I still ask myself, is this not the outcome the executive sought in this situation? I personally believe it was, no one could be that incompetent, could they?
Hi, thanks for the feedback.

- Both links lead to the same place but thanks for the advice, we will change the link on the logo.

- There are no distro specific guides because for every distro the setup is the same - just download our client script and run it. It is made to work with minimal python install and to work on every distro.

- I haven't heard of Yocto project, I will definitely look into it, thanks for the info.
Right. I use the example that the number of circulating guns in the USA always increases.

So you pick a ten year period where per-capita homicide rate went up or down to 'prove' whatever correlation you want about guns and homicide.
JDK 8 -> 9 migration was painful, but all other upgrades should be painless (well, maybe the 16-17, but I assume that most libraries will be fixed by the time you upgrade - either add `add-opens` instructions or use appropriate new classes from JDK).
Thank you; it is so appreciated when libraries don't abandon old versions.
Rationally, given the nature of grief, sharing, caring, being there is what counts.

What the parent is getting at is solving the problem type interactions. There are not really solutions, more like coping, learning how to go forward and live...

You are not wrong. Emotions can be reasoned with and through. But that is not really where one starts with basic, profound grief.
> I think the biggest consideration here is the fire / electrical risk of a slightly damaged or questionably compromised battery pack (structural or otherwise).

Indeed, and it's very precarious lack of any fusing, and other safety measures inside the Tesla battery pack besides fusible cell leads.

I believe most other saner EV makers will surely adddress this, if they didn't do so already.

Alternatively, BYD got very well positioned here with its own structural battery.

LFP cells are safe enough that they even use them as a crumple zone to dissipate crash energy.

This allows them to save weight even more on battery structure, as they don't have to protect it at all costs.

Having an effectively "free" crumple zone is a huge weight saver.
> Taiwan is part of China...

Which ‘China’? The political China, or the cultural China, or ethnic China (ie, with a majority heritage from Chinese descent), or what?

How do you conclude that Taiwan is part of China? And what does it have to do with Xi’ speech or CCP rule?

> But calling into question the term 'reunification' is purely propaganda...

Taiwan has de facto sovereignty, and with a majority support against unification [1]. This is the current status.

So the quote around ‘reunification’ is reflecting the current status.

> ... in order to paint the PRC as trying to invade a foreign country like if they wanted to invade Vietnam or another neighbour.

Sending fighter jets and and bombers to Taiwan sounds more like invasion than ‘reunification’ [2], if you ask me.

If you say the situation is exactly like Germany, are you suggesting that Germany was reunified through military?

And what should happen if the majority of Taiwanese do not want ‘unification’ [1]? Should Taiwan be ‘reunified’ against their will?

Java has a better technology stack. The JVM is light-years ahead of the .NET runtime.
`results[predicate(item)]` here they get the first and the second elements of a tuple. Essentially it’s `results[False]` and `results[True]`
> This method forces people to spend a large amount to complete a task that they can do with their existing equipment.

The law doesn't affect existing equipment.
My understanding of co-ops, while I haven't experienced them first-hand, is that they are still capitalist in nature - they are usually profit driven (though not at the expense of workers), pay is not equal, and the difference is a democratic decision making structure.
Will this have any meaningful interference on electronics?
First, MIT isn't Ivy League, which I don't just mean as a pedantic point about a football league - the Ivy League are all liberal arts schools. MIT is a technology school. It makes sense that there are institutions whose purpose is to provide a platform to any speaker. It does not make sense that every institution should do that. That's my complaint - this author who claim to care that distinct points of view are well-represented has rounded off a specific school into Generic University With The Same Classical Liberal Worldview As Every Other University.

Two, please tell me how many times in the history of your Ivy League school, since its founding until your attendance, they invited an African-American speaker.

IIRC one of the causes might be orbital precession, which could lead to a re-greening in a few millenia.
At least half of the gains can probably achieved by just rolling a distributed redis setup and not distributing the PostgreSQL database. This should cover most non-personalized read operations which on this type of site should be most of them. It also seems like the database distribution is an attempt to solve a problem of his own making. He states that each blog posts page view needs 30 database queries in the background. This to me suggests an inefficient data structure or complexity for complexity’s sake. Heck, he could probably even achieve 80% of what he’s trying to do by delivering selected slow but static queries from edge computing KV stores without having any further distributed backend or database servers. But ofc this whole project is a sales pitch and he would get the attention he’s receiving with a simple Django+Postgres+Redis setup in a single region with just basic CI/CD.
Which is quite painless, I do it since JDK 10, upgrade up to 1 week after JDK release and it was painless (with one exception around JDK 12 or 13 where spring have some issue for 1 month until I could upgrade).
I don’t know why but I find this so interesting. I totally don’t have time right now (with a young kid and trying to make some/any progress in my career as a dev now that I’ve successfully made the career change to working as a developer), but I really just like understanding how things work from the ground up - I can’t wait to have the time to build my own Linux distribution. It feels like it’ll be such a waste of time - like installing 5 or 6 different distros on an old PC I had just out of curiosity to see what they looked snd felt like. And I broke and fixed the boot loader so many times that it became kind of an enjoyable challenge getting the machine to work again - “ok, now how did I get grub2 to recognise where my partitions are…?” It seemed like spinning my wheels but I just really enjoyed it. I don’t know why. Kind of reminds me of a comment someone made here on HN about Linux a while ago - something to the effect of “I want an OS I do t want a hobby.” Except I enjoy messing around with it and spending time making it work. Not very productive though I admit.
The initial interception is intriguing. Perhaps it suggests the target nation is a US ally?

Terribly risky making overtures to a friendly nation. And for only $100K in crypto.
Obviously the technology in question is mostly about software related developments. There is a lot of exciting technology out there about emission reduction, renewable energy or CO2 capture. Judging by the comments not really a matter of interest, or is it?
I think large parts of the faction shouting about how unfair it is to expect people with previous infection to be vaccinated would also shout about the German policy of requiring a booster shot 6 months after the infection, at least that's my impression from how they argue here on HN.
The vaccine increases immunity even for people who have already been infected. It makes total sense to have them get vaccinated.

The goal isn't to have everyone reach a specific level of immunity. It's to get the highest possible level of immunity that is possible without taking on additional risks.
The new notepad version was released to non-insiders in Windows 10 1809, so it's still been around for almost 3 years now. I do understand that git wants to maintain the best compatibility, but at this point I would argue that converting to CRLF on checkout is causing more issues than it solves.
That's a very old fashioned way to think about it.

I've been going through grief, and silence is the most annoying thing I encountered lately. People are so afraid to talk about death and grief, they believe that if they say something about it, you'll turn into tears, but that's wrong most of the time. People just don't know how to deal with hard feelings to the extent they just do not say anything. And this is painful, since it vanishes last bits of a person from life.
There's nothing wrong with death, people's reaction what makes it sad. And it's in your hands to make it meaningful and help other people with it.
Do not ever be silent about death: talk, ask, listen, share a grief and never forget about it.

Win95 actually run quite good with 4MB RAM. At that time I was using also OS/2 Warp as multitasker for networked Clipper DOS programs (two DOS windows with shared storage on the same desktop emulating two networked DOS machines) and OS/2 although advertised as running with 4MB RAM actually struggled with that amount and needed at least 8MB to be usable, while Win95 run perfectly with 4MB. In the end however I had to put 8MB and use OS2 since its DOS subsystem compatibility was a lot better than the Win95 one, which was very prone to crashes when used to develop networked Clipper software that way.

Edit: minor typo
I got stuck in this conundrum at my previous gig as well, and think reached a very different conclusion than you. In short, while I’m skeptical of some of the degree of churn across modern software development as a whole, I’m not sure that this is actually an issue with the Java ecosystem, which has been, and I think continues to be, way more sensitive to backwards compatibility than almost any other ecosystem.

In some ways, this is just a consequence of a kind of evolutionary leap forward for many applications. We don’t deploy our WARs into application servers anymore, we try to pack a fat JAR, or maybe even a statically linked runtime, into a container. We rebuild the whole world on CI all the time. I mean, Java 8 has issues just respecting cgroup limits, which many a despondent ops engineer has discovered.

I think there’s still room for the 1M SLoC monolith even in this new world, but there are real benefits on the horizon for upgrading to Java 17 and beyond. We’ve reached a point where it’s just more expensive not to make upgrades a regular part of you development cycle. And, no one is stopping you from just staying on 1.8. I mean, I’m sure there are still decaying enterprises stranded on 1.3.

that is indeed interesting. Mind if I add this in the article?
To put the calculation in perspective.

What you have calculated:

(using 4 deaths at 1e-6 odds, because it's simpler and still gives 10x better odds at 1e-24)

Taking 4 death row inmates, jabbing them with AstraZeneca and expecting all 4 of them to die.

What you have not calculated:

Jabbing 1e9 people, 10k of them developing serious issues (expected prior) and there being a multi-hop connection between 5 of them. Two of them actually being brothers (familial clustering), and some with issues likely more prevalent so not even from the 10k group (1/1e5 cutoff).
Use Openj9 to lower your RAM requirements. Use HotSpot for compatibility with tools like heap/thread dumpers and I guess profilers/debuggers.
Nailed it. The whole time I was reading I had this uncanny valley feeling of like “this is so close to satire but not quite” waiting on the needle to drop that sealed it as satire, but it never came.
More like stagnation.

> I don't think anyone should apologize for wanting to live somewhere that's relatively homogeneous

The problem tends to come in when someone's area is becoming less homogenous - which in turn spurs hatred and a desire to expel others. Feel free to move and find said homogenous place, but this desire doesn't give you the right to banish others who are just living their free lives.
Yep, local Terraform testing is a great use case - we're seeing a lot of usage in this space. Here are some some pointers to get started with the provider configuration: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest...

We'll soon publish some more details on the TF integration in the LocalStack docs...

Side note - similar to the *.tfstate file maintained by Terraform (storing metadata about resource deployment states), we're increasingly making use of persistence files (called "local cloud pods") that allow you to easily store the state of your LocalStack instance, share it with team members, keep track of changes over time, etc. Really nifty feature...

> no private organisation can "recognize" a state

Yes they can. A private organization could just treat it like a state, in the same way that it treats any other state.

The consequences of that depend on what the organization does.

The article would be different, or at least I would read it differently, if it had been titled

My Emotions

instead of

My Emotions as a CEO

But clearly, the author intends this to be informative about the experience of being CEO.

So what is a CEO?

Is it a guy who earns $12 million a year + options at the top of a NASDAQ corporation with 15,000 staff?

Or is it a smart guy hired by a founder (or the founder) of an underfunded venture with no staff and a long path towards making a vulnerable, contested niche pay?

Those are different things, presumably with different emotional challenges.

What does it tell us that the author chose an ambiguous title, which isn't explicitly clarified in or by the article?

Here is a point I'll concede to the skeptics. By my interpretation, our health system is dysfunctional to the point that it can't reliably and practically collect immunity information in a way that's useful to the immunization effort. I have no interest in defending that.

However, given the dysfunction in our system, and given that hybrid immunity seems much better than either vaccine-induced or disease induced[1], the decision to require vaccines for everybody does make sense.

i don't think that's a real threat -- i don't think development environments are likely a huge income source for them, either.

i think they'd be better served by letting me develop more quickly, so I can help my company grow, and presumably need (and have the budget for!) more resources in our production environment.

if i'm mistaken, i think it's reasonable to have some sort of built in time limit to how long the appliance will run for, or some other way of preventing it being used for non-development purposes.

> What the parent is getting at is solving the problem type interactions.

That's part of my point though. There are problems to solve, like "this person isn't going to have any energy and still has to do all the usual living stuff", which is why bringing food, helping with housework, pets, that sort of thing is useful. But the grief itself isn't a problem looking to be solved. If you think that is a problem to solve, that's an error in your reasoning.
I don’t agree with this at all. I’m not a fan of castostrophizing, but when the analogy is relevant, it should still be used.
If the system is LUKS encrypted, is there a benefit to 2FA PAM?

You can set the pam to lock the system with 3 wrong passwords. In this case, even a short pin like in a bank card would be good too.

If there is no vulnerability in OS Lock Screen, the attacker needs to reset a locked system to try the 4th password, in which case they fall behind LUKS.

If there is a vulnerability, or a direct memory access attack is used (very rare in my opinion), 2FA does not make a difference here.

So what’s the use of 2FA PAM if full disk encryption, and Pam rate limit, are used?
This law isn't about reducing CO2 emissions. It's more specifically about reducing the forms of pollution that are disproportionately produced by small engines, which are often two-stroke and (AFAIK) never have catalytic converters. Taxing gasoline would be a failed attempt at a one size fits all solution, when there are very different categories of engines burning that fuel with drastically different emissions profiles.

A lot of people told me to move on. That was probably technically correct, but seemed like the worst thing I could imagine - not feeling terrible about myself.

My uncle’s brother died long ago, so he told me something of the opposite - that I would think about this every day of my life. But it had to become a piece of me, and not the whole me. And that I’ll never be able to reconcile the rest of my life, but I could, right now, set a timer and do something for the next five minutes. Like physically move 10 yards to sit on the lawn. And then a new place for the next five minutes. Write something down. Start with single words when sentences are too ambitious. Read one page from a book and then rest.

The gains from each tiny step in one direction add up. The focus is intense, like an addict. At the end of a year, I wasn’t just running marathons, I was winning marathons. It could have gone better, but it definitely could have gone a lot worse.

Good luck soldier.
There are a few rich people who's sponsoring this by running "open foundations" that donate (or not donate) to universities and legislatures. MIT's got addicted to recurring donations, so the big contributors can tell MIT how to run things. Same story with mob leaders who are in it for the money. The rank and file mob members do it for free, though (for feeling being right and being part of something big and important).

If the end beneficiaries change their mind, or find another hobby, this "movement" will fold overnight without donations.
