OpenVMS has a system-wide convention for coding exit status [1].

The lowest 3 bits of the status value is used to denote severity (0:warning, 1:success, 2:error, 3:info, 4:severe/fatal).

In addition to that, each "facility" (either system or user service/application) defines its set of status values and corresp. messages, which can be incorporated for use with system message facilty. So that on a program exit a user can query the resulting status/message to get an explanation and possible remedies, if applicable (HELP /MESSSAGE $STATUS).

The usual meaning of "code-of-conduct" is a conduct guide for contributors to a project; In this case it appears to be for users of the software, and specific to project usage rather than user conduct (I think?).

Furthermore, if non-compliance with the CoC means: " the project falls out of compliance with the terms of the software license" then the terms of the CoC are the terms of the license.

Now, one solution would just to be to grant the steering committee the power to revoke the license, but this is not clearly the case:

> If anyone notifies you in writing that you have not complied with the Code of Conduct, you can keep your license by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the notice. If you do not do so, and the ml5.js Code of Conduct Committee (or its equivalent or successor) agrees that you are in violation of the Code of Conduct, your license ends immediately.

So, what if someone (anyone?) notifies you that you are in violation, but you don't agree? I'd argue "all practical steps to comply" in the case that you are not violating the CoC is to do nothing. Even if the steering committee does agree you are in violation, this is not the only condition for ending the licence:

> If you do not [take all practical steps to comply with the CoC], and the [Committee] agrees that you are in violation..

These things are usually written in legalese for a reason; the "and" is ambiguous, but the usual interpretation is that both conditions need to be true, hence the committee decision is irrelevant if the first condition is not met, and who decides that?

The NetBSD manpage says:

Also it does not seem to be in any of the 4.3 man page archives on the freebsd man page website.

I would love to be wrong. But nothing I see in the current investor as well as technology roadmap suggest we are going to see significant cheaper NAND production cost. ( Note: Cost per bit aren't dropping much with more layers incase anyone is wondering.)

I would be surprised if we could even push 4TB below $200 by 2025. Compared to a 4TB 2.5" external HDD which cost less than $100 today.

They tried and are trying very hard to go beyond SM but mom (mother nature) isn't making it easy for them. In the US I'm hoping neutrino work will give us the edge there
The article hints that the loophole is that USDC (circle/Coinbase) allegedly welcomes regulation that USDT (Bitfinex) and BUSD (Binance) can’t pass. I’m not sure what to call it but it is not a loophole.

I don’t trust the elderly 80 year old congress members to come up with good rules for crypto since it’s something old people barely understand or care about.
> The creators created the software, they can put any conditions they please on how others might use it.

Indeed so, they have that right.

I personally wouldn't consider using code licensed like this, because even if I 100% agreed with the CoC and Steering Committee, both might change over time (the CoC says "We expect the Code of Conduct to be a living document") and I have no idea who'll be on the Steering Committee in 5-10 years time, and whoever it is will be able to pull the rug from under my feet at a whim.
Trump isn't fading into insignificance at all. He still overwhelmingly dominantes the right half of US politics. The social media ban has made Trump look much better than he otherwise would have had he remained on social media and been blathering this entire time. Big tech did him a favor with the ban. And meanwhile Biden's mainstream media poll numbers have collapsed (which is to say his real numbers are even worse). He's one of the least popular presidents in the past century thus far. It's setting the stage for Trump to make a legitimate run at the presidency in 2024 if he so chooses. Biden won't be competent to run in 2024 and Harris can't beat Trump. The tactic of hiding Biden, which worked very well in terms of letting Trump punch himself out, is no longer working now that he's president and being held to a different expectation; instead, it's tanking his numbers because he's viewed as a mediocre leader.
Really? It works well for me. I've never had a problem participating in a Zoom meeting.

> I am wondering if SyFy's The Expanse succeeded completely in their adaptation of novels that were written in contemporary times.

As per a sibling comment: the original authors were involved. But:

It depends on style of the show material and the style of the new medium. If the original is cerebral and low-action, can you make a commercially successful adaptation with the same qualities?
In my experience, developing software on a local dev machine is precisely when fine-grained control of software stack versions is needed.

This can be encapsulated with things like docker, but the "I'll globally, arbitrarily update everything to the bleeding edge" strategy isn't friendly for building and maintaining software.
> apt/dpkg and any other package manager that scatters files all over the filesystem is just an absolute disaster that--if you do a lot of R&D tinkering--eventually renders a computer unusable after a few years.

That was your experience. Mine is that after using apt for a lot of R&D tinkering for 3 years, everything runs fine. apt is global. Sometimes that's great and that's what you want. Sometimes it's not. Another way to keep that in mind is to think as apt as "bad at doing cleanup".

The thing is that you have to have a separation between things that you want on your system all the time, and things that you use for one or more projects. For the first, apt is perfect. For the second, usually that's where I use tools like nvm for node versions, languages package managers like npm, and also docker (which I use a lot for development databases).

For a backend JS project, I would install nvm, npm and docker globally, and then for the project I would use node through nvm with a .nvmrc, install packages locally with npm and use a package.json and package-lock.json, and run the development database with docker through a npm command, usually the latest PostgreSQL version. The link between the backend and database would be made with environment variables, because that's also what I use in production.

The difference between the global (apt) scope and the project (the rest) scope might seem like a failure of apt, but I personally see it as the difference between global and local scope in programming: both have their use, we separate them for a reason and we don't put the same things in them.
Bash uses 1 and 2 this way.
I think the main problem for Ruby isn't Node.js, go, Rust, etc. None of those ecosystems have anything comparable to Rails. The problem is Laravel (PHP) and Django (Python) which both offer a comparable (if not better in many ways) experience to Rails with access to much bigger ecosystems.
I would also be interested in this, but I am 25, but likely just as aimless.

Hope that still works!
Would you be interested in cooperating on that? You can ping me over email (see my profile or the blog).

My second impression about the Bangle.js is: "oh no, JavaScript only?". Still, it's much better than building the same thing from scratch, except it may still take effort on the software side.

Having another interested person involved would be amazing for my motivation! Btw, one of the reasons I wanted hackable hardware was to map road surfaces on OSM ;) GPS alone doesn't add much to OSM in my area any more.
Hey HN,
Last year for fun, I started hacking to see how feasible it would be to create a self-hosted Miro/Whiteboard webapp using SVG instead of canvas.

It bugged me at the time, how Miro was a closed garden - you couldn't move saved Miro boards to Mural - there was clearly a missing portable open standard file format, also all your data was essentially in their hands, if you stop paying your subscription then you could effectively no longer access your boards.

I wondered how hard it would be to create an open source multi-user whiteboard clone app in order to tease out what kind of things would need to be in the file format. It also gave me the space to play around with some fun features I always wanted to see in Miro, like vertical duplication, a decent slide navigator, ability to save locally, different types of guide lines, embedding iframes and youtube videos, having element links in the boards.

A lot of this turned up in Miro at some time or another, all except the common interchange format.

Anyway, I thought I'd post it up here to see if there's any interest in finishing it - maybe for companies that want to host their own versions of Miro because they don't trust the cloud app. Either way thanks for the feedback.

Is the implication that alt meats aren't being consumed and therefore more wasteful? I'm not sure I'm following - because when I started to look at the waste in existing livestock lifecycle you begin to understand that it's never been efficient, nor has the industry done much to pivot with better methods.

Here's a water footprint comparison [0]. Here's a study that showcases where: "Agriculture accounts for 92% of the freshwater footprint of humanity; almost one third relates to animal products." [1] And here's a study that showcases how many people could be fed by grain given the footprint of food livestock need to be raised and bred [2]. And here's data showcasing the significant delta of available land vs diet types for different nations [3], many being unsuitable without external use of land for food.

This is a coherent, reasonable, set of codes that can be adapted for a variety of situations. However, there are multiple situations where one might want to have more meaningful specialization of error codes. In such cases, for the love of all that is holy, please document the codes and do not change the meaning of codes from one version of the utility to the next.
For a long time only the wealthy could eat meat regularly.

And then progress happened and even people of modest means could afford that.

And then the wealthy differentiated themselves by not eating meat.

And pretty soon the unwashed masses are going to be able to do that too.

So the techies and the doctors and the lawyers are going to have to find a different way to differentiate themselves.

Certainly. For me it started when they removed the entire scientific stack, which broke my install scripts / brewfile. Then, they removed the ability to customize builds, which broke my emacs build. Also hit the OP issues.

In every case they were removing features that were working just fine, and in the process creating work for me. Got fed up, switched to macports (after checking out nix), and so far things are back to the way I like it.
Hey HN, hope y’all are having a good day so far! I come from a background of building virtual assistants, so I thought it would be interesting to reframe the search problem as if it was an input to a chatbot. Threw together a little demo of using code generation (mainly powered by Codex) to answer natural language queries about a dataset. For the purposes of this demo, I just used some fake transactions from Plaid sandbox mode, but I’m pretty excited about not only expanding this to other datasets but letting both individuals/companies use this on their own data. Seems like this could help a lot of people, myself included, use our own data to make better decisions. Would love to chat to more people about this - if you’re interested, mind sending me an email? It’s morgan at operand dot ai. Thanks!
Ditto. Anything mission critical runs in Docker via Docker-compose, so I can manage every aspect.

And for any cli tool that's also mission-critical, it can be run within Docker so I can pin it or keep it bleeding edge more easily.

For the important stuff, performance and ease of installation can take a side seat to stability.

In this scenario, if USDT drops low enough, might you not have trouble actually procuring enough USDT to payback and unlock your BTC? It would seem like a sudden collapse of USDT might cause a complete stop in all trading of USDT pairs, no? I suppose you could counteract that a bit by continuing to hold a certain amount of USDT, but would the loan instrument still accept USDT as repayment if USDT becomes worthless?
Tesla didn’t create the problem for themselves purposely. CCS Type 2 was not in production when Tesla began building Superchargers a decade ago (and didn’t want their progress impeded by typical “death by committee” of legacy automakers, as a functioning fast DC charging network is a moat and an asset for an EV manufacturer), and while Europe forced them to adopt CCS in that market, I believe Tesla’s plug will remain the standard in the US for the foreseeable future (as they sell the majority of EVs in America, have the largest charging network, and the US government doesn’t have the political will to mandate CCS). Tesla has committed to tripling the size of the US Supercharger network in the next two years while Electrify America is desperate for investment it can’t get (because, no surprise, you can’t make a profit with fast DC charging stations between demand charges and price sensitive drivers [1]; it’s a cost center you want to break even on to sell high margin cars, not a revenue driver as a distinct business).

If the goal is to better your career, then you should think about two things: interviewing for new roles and advancing in your role.

Leetcode-type problems are only part of the interview process. System design interviews are pretty common -- developing a deep understanding of things like SQL, document stores, CAP theorem, parallel programming: all helpful.

To advance in your role, it's useful to quantify the value of your work. Data analysis is helpful here. Writing is an undervalued skill for advancing your career as well.

For three, I've been trying an approach that I took from an HN article a while ago. Instead of a Playbook, create a Python script that just prints text for each step and prompts for YES to confirm the step was completed. Then, I automate the most confusing or particular parts. Need a particular user to perform the task? Query for it and make a link to login as that user for the operator of the script. You get a lot of the repeatability of a fully automated script and slowly improve it over time.
