Instead of pushing back on all Big Tech, I am seeing endless bickering about what dystopian company to follow.

Current state:
Apple and Google are the 'good' guys. Facebook and Microsoft are the 'bad' guys. Twitter is in the background at the moment. Tiktok is HN's absolute lovely darling. No one cares that its Chinese.

This keeps changing like a drunk game of russian roulette, mixed with some partisan politics, anti-billionairism, etc.

If it were year 2005, we would all be singing in unison to take down Oracle, IBM and Microsoft - have a startup spirit of optimism. I haven't seen that lately on HN.
This is the kind of handwringing that makes me 100% sure climate change is going to wreck us in ways we can barely imagine right now.

Fixing humankind’s damage to the environment is going to take such sweeping societal changes that Halloween costumes and pumpkins shouldn’t even be a blip on our radar.

> Gangi has been completely transformed since it launched the one-euro housing craze in Italy in 2011, Mayor Francesco Paolo Migliazzo said. A medieval hamlet with frescoed churches and steep, narrow stone pathways, it was declared the most beautiful small town in Italy in 2014. Today, tour guides shuttle groups of visitors along historic and artistic walking routes.

Alas it doesn't go very deep into how things have turned out for people buying the houses, or for the villages those houses are in
I love that the OS seems to be named after Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Misaka the kernel and Kuroko the interpreter are named after iconic characters from the series.
Interactive Brokers supports paper trading through their desktop client. They have a programmable API and support the most kinds of financial instruments across standard online retail brokers
Some companies, ones large enough to have serious SRE staffs, have 24 hour staffing of an operations center, and a War Room where people can huddle until a problem is fixed.

If they are smart, they have ways to roll back offending code.

But any company smaller than say a regional bank is going to have trouble affording this.

Now, if you using a cloud provider, you can design in rollback.

But of course there are surprises. A scenario I just thought up, when you discover on Black Friday that your order system can't handle more than 1048575 (that's 2 to the 20th minus 1, just to pick a slightly plausible number) orders in one day, and this limit is deep in your code and architecture.
Even a spiritual leader is in charge, if not in control. There still need to be laws, and those often follow from central sources/philosophies.
GCE persistent disks are always encrypted anyway, with a customer-provided key if the customer chooses, or an automatic ephemeral key otherwise. I think the only storage option in GCE that doesn't feature customer encryption keys is locally-attached SSD, where you'd need to layer your own crypto on top. Definitely don't rely on cloud providers to wipe your data.

I think we all as the end users could use a bit more support in terms of getting access to good information on configuring all the things we might use, being able to make better and more effective choices overall.

For example, one thing that jumped to mind was we seem to be lacking any objective measures of the speed of various OS versions, so everybody is always upgrading and claiming its faster, but is it objectively faster every time? What kind of regressions might happen?

There's nobody that is spending the time figuring out this kind of information, so everyone is kind of uninformed and there's more pressure to always upgrade.
Do hypersonic weapons give a new first strike capability and is this the end of the M.A.D. policy, do we actually need a new race, post-globalisation it looks like authoritarianism, closed borders and increased surveillance might be the focus, in which case the military industrial complex still has a good fit, just a new enemy, a constant war against people as it were.

Absolutely, one of my favourites easily.

I feel it gave me room to think, and spoke to me in areas I usually don't engage. Themes of accepting you can't halt the end, no matter how hard you try and all the work you put in, and ultimately we all end up alone, but with the memories of others as parts of ourselves, as we enter the unknown.

Just my readings, but the point is it hit me in a way other media hasn't. Not better or worse, but unique and different because games haven't quite found how best to use the medium for the possibilities in storytelling.

I’m aware this is not the only issue, but we’ve really jumped the shark by letting private equity and tech companies prey on private home prices. We’re turning into a set of case studies for future societies as our candle snuffs out. Entrepreneurs are no longer rewarded - the great spoils belong to speculators and the vampire class.
I think stopping this is never the intent. It can't be realistic. But giving the majority of people "on the fence" of Earth curvature etc. different point of view, or at least showing where exactly they are being misled, seems achievable.
That's the same as saying 'buy a new one :)'. The bets of Apple fixing anything and not just telling you to replace your 13 month old laptop are slim at best.

But encryption at rest does protect you from insider or attacker access with full privileges on the servers where the data is stored. The data would necessarily be visible to a root user on the system where the data is being decrypted by an application, but that's not necessarily the same node.

I don't know if it's SELinux or the containerisation API, but such a mechanism is also in play with sandboxed Linux applications (Flatpak, Snap). On Ubuntu there are many apps you can disable a lot of permissions for because of the snappification of the OS.

It didn't seem to mention hybrids much either. It mentioned a polo bluemotion as the lowest co2 emitting vehicle at 99g/km, but even my 10+ year old hybrid clunker (Toyota auris) officially gets 82g/km - modern hybrids must be way better by now, and they are super common now rather than just Toyota's selling point.

A recent report I read on the BBC suggests that public bus transportation is 90g/km/passenger so my ancient old hybrid is better than taking the bus it seems?
Take the Startup Scorecard
Are you launching your startup soon? What next?

Well, Michael Myers says...Take the scorecard...

After you launch your product, there is no looking back. You will be dealing with getting to product-market fit, customer acquisition, funding and scaling.

As a founder, these are essential steps that you need to navigate wisely.

That's exactly where startups programs come into the picture..

We help you with all these aspects so you can focus on your core competency.

It's hard for scientists to go against negative press - here coming from the oil lobby etc. Smears and lies.
People do underestimate the shell. Particularly I see people shoehorning collections of commands into a Makefile, when a shell script would work just fine.

On the other hand, with a lot of glue work I do, I eventually want to something more complex (use lists and maps, complex string building and regexes, date handling) and while you /can/ do that in bash, I might as well start in Python and have everything in one language and take advantage of things like code sharing via modules. (And yes you can share code in shell, but again it’s not as nice.)
Or Python, or tcl, or (eeek) Perl, or JavaScript.

Good. It shouldn't be as simple as "put a robots.txt on your domain" to erase the entire publicly archived history of any sites ever hosted under that domain. This happened a lot when domains would expire.
Adding a new compression format is some work, but apt (like most package managers) supports a range of compression formats and you don't have to do anything to tell it to use a different one; it figures it out from the package archive file itself.

The dpkg patches required to add zstd support for .deb packages are pretty small, but they've also languished in Debian for a couple years.[1] But Debian's bureaucracy seems especially slow to move, and in general this kind of issue (inefficient compression in a packaging format) is not the kind of issue Linux distros suffer the worst from.

Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, NixOS, GuixSD, Solus, and Void Linux are all already using zstd compression for OS installation, packaging, or both. That pretty much covers your bases for downstream distros and also oddball, niche things. openSUSE will presumably switch to using zstd compression for packaging when they change defaults from zypper to dnf for their high-level package manager.

A lot of Linux package managers just use FreeBSD's libarchive for all of their compression needs, which covers a ton of formats. Presumably Apple could do the same with their imaging tools.

I am considering whether to have a CT scan done of my heart. I am 35 yo and healthy, but have bad history of heart disease in my family. No current issues for me though. My doctor recommended I do the scan just to see if I have any plaque buildup, but is this not a lot of unnecessary radiation at a fairly young age? I hear it is like getting 1,000 x-rays done. Can anyone qualified chime in?

I liked the quote from elsewhere in which an American pointed out that after the required taxes, bank charges and payments for buying the house in Italy her 1 euro house cost her about €2000 just to buy. Good marketing though.
I was just doing it on my Windows box and it maxed out the hard disk's IO for about an hour. I don't know what it was doing in the background, but, compared to what it was downloading, it was a surreal amount of work.

It's understandable Windows updates take longer because Windows offers the guarantee that a file path will always point to the same while the machine is running, as opposed to Unix environments where they only guarantee your file pointer will point to the same file. This makes upgrading a running machine a bit more complicated than replacing files from under running processes. I'm not even sure how I would implement such a thing. Probably file system overlays and collapse them on reboot.

Awaiting to see how you handle the situation if your personal details are ever doxxed.
I'd start with a couple of great books you should be able to get from the library:

* The Four Pillars of Investing: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Pillars-Investing-Building-Portfolio-ebook/dp/B0041842TW
* Are You a Stock or a Bond: https://www.amazon.com/Are-You-Stock-Bond-Financial/dp/0133115291
* A Random Walk Down Wall Street: https://www.amazon.com/Random-Walk-Down-Wall-Street/dp/0393358380

All of these point to fundamentals about investing:

* The first step is to identify your risk tolerance and goals. That's way more important that the specific vehicles of investing.
* Unless you are a professional investor, it is highly unlikely you'll beat the professionals (and not likely even then) so broad diversification is a good idea.
It's seeming more and more likely to me that carbon capture has to be part of the long term solution.

Quote from the article:
“That would be a dream outcome from Glasgow, along with decision makers recognizing that any approach that leads to net zero must include carbon removal as well as emission reduction,”
Yeah, and that's your personal experience.

I dont care about Wow's story, I didnt even pay attention to the quests or cinematics, yet even i can count 40-50% of the chronology. Likewise many people on my server.
There was no private media in the USSR. And out of state media, Pravda was the main political newspaper. The voice of the state.

I wonder, how did you come to the conclusion that US is getting "official Pravda"?
I don't really agree with you. You're basically quoting the typical Dutch strawman "I have nothing to hide" ("Ik heb niets te verbergen").

The problem with mass surveillance isn't only what is done with the data. It's that it's being done in the first place. I personally hate the feeling of governments and corporations spying on me every hour of every day 1) . Whether it affects me or not. I don't want my own phone to look over my shoulder. I don't want to watch what I say online. I just want to be myself. I feel this surveillance as a constant pressure on me in life these days.

> That makes no difference.

It makes all the difference

> Apple has the resources to support two graphics APIs at once

Why should they?

> The game performance through MoltenVK says it all, really: perfectly powerful GPUs get imposed a 50-75% performance penalty when translating to Metal, which is pretty slow compared to similar systems

Why should Apple care? Their systems are selling like hot cakes, outpacing everyone.

> If they aren't going to make Metal available on other, non-Apple systems, they should make Vulkan available at least.

Once again, why should they?

> If they want to attract more cross-platform software, they need to start supporting better dev tooling.

I think they've been quite clear that they don't want more cross-platfrom software.

> from a developer's perspective, which becomes glaringly obvious when you look out on the seemingly infinite graveyard of depreciated MacOS apps and games.

The lack of games has always been the case, even when OpenGL was the only way to make gaming graphics on MacOS. Apple has never care about gaming on their desktops and laptops. And gaming is doing just fine on the iPhone.
singleton are just the one service where DI would often not be required (in Js/Ts), but there are more scopes. I.e. you would want to scope creation/deletion services i.e. to a session (lifetime across http connections per single user) or http scope (lifetime of the http request from incoming request to outgoing response. In other languages like C# you might also want different "singletons" that either live in the same thread or the same process (or specifically outside of those) etc. Compared to C#, JS is not a prime candidate for DI patterns as JS has neither threads, shared memory model, nominal typesystem/interfaces or destructors (that would allow service lifecycle and cleanup).

On the other hand, in C# (and AFAIK Java too) interfaces are named and versioned, and if any of your code wants to interact with those interface implenentations, they need a reference to that interface type at compile time. In JS or Typescript, you just have to pass a type that is structurally identical (which does also not allow for versioning at the language level).
Fuel is very small part in cost of nuclear generation; As fuel price start increasing, more sources become viable, including sea water. There is practically unlimited supply once it happens, and this is before accounting for reprocessing. (and reprocessing happens in France, for example)

"The problem is, what is 'reasonable and commonly-held belief'?"

If it is held by lots of well-meaning people who are open to hearing reasonable arguments and potentially changing their mind over time.

If an opinion really only survives by pure belief and faith, then not much will be learned by discussing it.

Take something like trans atheletic competition. A lot of people haven't thought much about it. Maybe they are worried that girls' atheletics will suffer because the top athletes will all be trans (in many sports), which could be discouraging for the lower levels of competition, and basically make them no fun.

If someone comes up with a plan that's still fun and inspiring for everyone, then I think many people will change their minds. But there's no widespread knowledge and consensus on what that might look like, so I'd say people resistent to trans athletics for that reason are still reasonable people.

I'd also like to be clear that pure beliefs can still be "right" and moral, but it's just not worth discussing them because nobody's mind will change based on reason.
In this case, money is power and big tech has all the money. The field is tilted in their favor in an even more extreme manner than David v Goliath. No mere mortal could even afford to fight them via litigation. Fighting them legislatively is also Sisyphean as they can afford much better lobbyists.

Sometimes, perception is reality.

It should probably use all cores while there is an Apple logo and a progress bar (and the user is essentially locked out).

Fun detail - newer IBM mainframes enable all cores (including the ones that are there but you didn't pay for) during the boot process to reduce downtime.
No. You are not alone. There are still a number of organizations that are cautious about deploying databases in Kubernetes. That said, various third party surveys as well as anecdotal evidence of what we are seeing at Crunchy Data suggests that deploying databases on Kubernetes is increasingly common. The degree to which it makes sense often depends on whether or not the organization is standardizing around Kubernetes for their deployment model more generally.

I'm coming to this thread late, so I'm amazed that no-one has mentioned Named Data Networking - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_data_networking and https://named-data.net/ . The basic idea is to manage the "what" rather than the "where". This looks like the future to me.
Maybe you would, but most of the “free market” real world out there wouldn’t. Or if they did you can be sure it was a tax write off as a loss at least.
You were hoping for a survey of where halloween pumpkin buyers buy their pumpkins?
You're not the only one, obviously. But that stance is not really relevant anymore. Just about every database as a service company will run their databases in kubernetes now.
A comprehensive carbon tax that's more expensive than CO2 sequestration will solve the problem by itself (or rather by market forces, everyone will either optimize away emissions or offset them with sequestration rather than pay the tax). For that we need a sequestration method that's cheap enough that a comprehensive CO2 tax at that price point is viable and won't be riddled with loopholes. $50/ton is still a bit high for that, but it's a lot closer than other methods we have so far.

Indeed. NestJS is one such framework that uses DI, it uses type reflection to inject implementations, or you can optionally use a DI token (with `@Inject(token)`).

While I've never been a huge fan of this, it's also usually the least of my problems. On the plus side it makes dependencies between modules explicit which has raised some flags occasionally.
