I'm primarily a Windows guy, but I'm dabbling more and more with Linux lately. Especially after I got a few Raspberry Pi's and various clones set up.

What I've ended up doing is to just write Word documents containing what I do. I keep my Word documents in a single directory on my OneDrive, so I can access them on all my machines.

Raspberry Pi iSCSI server? One document for that, containing the links to guides used, commands I've run and scripts made. I use headers to organize the sections, like one for compiling the custom kernel, one for configuring iSCSI on the Pi, one for using it on the NAS etc.

Need to create a new Docker SMB mount? Once the right incantation has been found, a small script is made and also added to the right Word document, ready to be pasted into the next machine I might need it on.

It's not terribly pretty and not at all fancy, but I found it's low enough barrier that it's easy to do and maintain, and it's very helpful to have it all in one place.

Had I been a Linux guy first and foremost I would probably have used something else than Word, but it works and I find the separation between the regular font for comments and monospace for script makes it easy to quickly distinguish. It's also easy to add screenshots for clarifications etc.
>It is just that who they wanted to marry was not whom they had the right to marry.

Which inherently makes it an unequal right.
Not really, it goes withing the framework of freedom to define what actions are to be allowed or not under certain licenses.

There is nothing wrong with making, let's say, a licence that prohibits the use of its adhered product for activities such as the development of nuclear weapons.

I suppose I'm an outlier. I prefer to work with people more competent than I am, even if they are jerks. People better than I am raises my competence.

People I can't trust - that's a hard "no".
Or just generating bindings for it. Bindgen exists for this reason. A minority of libraries such as that will require a smarter wrapper but for most it is probably sufficient to just use it in a reasonable way.
I think this could still have utility, more now even. Now the same people may not be in the office regularly but the tasks still need to be done every day. Your application could help schedule between different people in the office
Don’t submarines detect echos? When I walk into a room eyes closed, I know whether it is big or not, furnished or not depending on how the ambient noise gets reflected. Surely the sea must be full of noises and even a black spot of noise should be perceivable?

Especially since detection sensibility hs gotten so high with new tech that countries don’t try to hide anymore, but they try to produce fake sounds in other places in the ocean to disturb the detection.
> Grifters and professional con artists

Everyone that has a dispute with a landlord is a grifter and con artist? That's a strawperson to beat all strawpeople.

> When I worked in commercial real estate

Is that the attitude toward renters in your industry?

Why would landlords be expected to be any more honest? IME, everyone who has had a legal dispute with a landlord has been an honest person with an honest claim (though not always legally supported), and landlords have had enormous power over them. I have no doubt there are some bad people in both camps.
So... Imagine the entire world went and created an entire story around your life. This social understanding of you would influence everything from who reached to you, what types of jobs you were hirable for, what lines of credit you'd get access to, where you could live, what your pay would be.

You are one day made aware of this, it need not even be true at all, and society might budge and correct things here and there; but you have no way of knowing who will actually do so and follow through. Imagine, you are trying to escape a technically saavy tormentor. In order to avoid them, you have to burn every bridge with your past to stay off their radar.

Imagine that even in your worst conceivable, lowest moment, there is no less than than 4 organizations aware of what's happening to you at one time or another.

This is why you should care about privacy. If you don't, you're not just trading away your own, but everyone else's too.

What your iPhone Doesn’t Want You to Type (2017)
Isn't Zillow more like a post-IPO startup than a bigcorp? If so, it makes complete sense that they might "bite off more than they could chew," (e.g. Pets.com) a lot of startups end that way.
Crazy. I recently sold a condo to Opendoor for significantly more than I would have even thought to list it for. When I negotiated with Opendoor after their initial offer, I pointed out a recently sold condo (days before, in similar condition, layout and finishes) in the same complex that sold for much higher than Opendoor offered. Within hours Opendoor came back matching that same selling price. The kicker? It was a unit that Zillow bought.

The algorithms are fooling themselves... Opendoor matches Zillow who matches Opendoor and that's how you get ever increasing offers.

Edit: oh, and now Zillow has that unit on the market, priced 14% lower than they paid for it, after 3 price cuts so far.

So then shouldn't we stop writing software? If it's really impossible to make software that doesn't have tons of bugs, yet it's perfectly possible to make hardware without those bugs, shouldn't we be "making hardware" instead?

Actually, now that I think of it, that's not the problem. The problem is we keep changing the software. My laptop from 15 years ago still functions exactly the same way it used to. It hasn't disintegrated into a puddle of bits. You just can't use it to visit any "modern website" or run any "modern software". If we just stopped upgrading everything every 5 seconds we could keep using old technology.
As I've been told repeatedly, the science is settled and there is consensus from >99% of scientists that the politically critical Covid vaccine is completely safe. Questioning any of this just means that you're a science denier and blasphemer.
As it turns out, anxiety-insomnia is just as much a problem whether it's with voices or not :(
another thing you can do is raise the interest rate on the mortgage for investment properties. This is already done somewhat but they could increase it quite a bit. Can't really pass the cost onto the renter either because the market supply/demand dynamics sets the rental rates, not the owner.
"you can run crap on nand gates"
I think they saw them as easy targets to pretend like they are being productive. Sex trafficking happens on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. but they aren't shutting down. The best way to prevent sex trafficking is investing in free and better education, improving resources for the poor, and providing health services and counseling.
Sound doesn't travel as well through the air, but it still does. The primary reason that you can't do it from the air is that the surface of the ocean is a big irregular reflector of acoustic energy from the air, so the overwhelming majority of the energy will be lost. It just would never be practical.

It might be possible to use airborne gravity gradiometry to map seaborne mounts. I'd never considered that before, but I see no reason to think it wouldn't work.
"charging $144/year for a static site?" - thanks for posting this.

I generally avoid software I can't buy and own, and with pricing like that it seems that are not trying to get pro / semi-pro site builders with this.

With that price, I'd buy pinegrow and build lots of sites for about the same price. ( https://pinegrow.com/#buy )

I guess this is more trying to carve a niche within the niche of wix/ squarespace / wordpress.com / google sites / godaddy sitemaker / every other cpanel host that has a builder, maybe webflow.

With the title 'WYSIWYG website builder' I was really hoping for a netobjects fusion remake - but it seems it's another recurring billing saas trying to take market share from the others already trying to be microsoft frontpage for the web.

I guess this includes hosting (from reading the comments) - so maybe it's more like a DO hosting with premium page builder for an extra few bucks a year kind of thing. There's nothing wrong with that, wish it was in the title.
Are there not any alternative employers where you live (including remote)? Do you have an emergency fund to cover living expenses if you lose your job? The reason I pry is 10 years is a long time to not be able to get together a 3-6 month emergency fund (if you don’t already have one).
> Very experienced engineers frequently miss what people are doing in other parts of the source base, the name might not be what they expect, etc, etc

Very true. Readability can't help with that, nor is it designed to. It's mostly there to help novices and new hires. Experienced engineers already have readability themselves so they don't need this extra review.
I could definitely YOLO out a change when I worked on code used by 100 people. When it was used by 10000, an error every now and then is forgivable. Now, if I make an error in a deployment I could stop 10,000,000 from using my systems. Similar outages have made newspapers. Even then, compared to FAANG scale I'm still playing with toys. The fastly outage was top story on the BBC while it was happening.
What makes it so hard for innovation is all the rules and regulations like being HIPAA compliant etc.... Regulations are a tax on innovation and a floor on prices dropping (usually leading to prices increasing).
Why does Oregon have so few IPOs?
Businesses exclude people all the time. E.g. many videos are geoblocked, and there's no way to view or purchase them in some countries.

Here are some other examples: I can use free version of Google Colab from Ukraine, but I can't pay for Pro version. (I can pay for Google Cloud, though.)

OpenAI blocks API dashboard access to IP addresses from Ukraine. (But it is OK if I use VPN LOL.)

So it seems blocking ppl is the norm. I guess "diversity and inclusion" is mostly about social topics within US, not about not excluding people.
> Well, several posters in this thread have made it clear that they intend to replace real meat with fake meat over any objections. I think this is reasonable to be upset about.

…why? I don’t see why you should care at all. It doesn’t affect you. Not even a little bit. The anti fake meat hysteria has gotten to be just as dramatic as militant veganism, but it doesn’t even have any ethical implications to justify strong emotions.
On the other hand, Chrome doesn't ask, it just does it.

Hello,

Just saw this post...is there an email address to reach you at and learn more about these openings? I have some experience using Python. Thanks
Not OP, but: if you're thirsty and there's a cup of water nearby, presumably you don't need to verbalize the full set of motor commands necessary to move your arm, grasp the cup, and so on. It's a pretty complicated motion involving quite a few decisions, but they're decisions that don't involve verbal ability. (Or at least I assume that's the case.)

For me, at least, most thinking feels like a version of that, but generalized. That doesn't mean it's necessarily easy- I can't come up with a fancy new algorithm by just desiring it momentarily- but most things just don't need words to be thought.

If I want to figure out if, say, some geometric modification obeys some property, the content of the thoughts is the spatial reasoning directly. I can go back and explain the thoughts verbally, but the words are just labels for the more 'native' reasoning.

In my case, I can still think things verbally, though it does seem closer to subvocalization than full inner voice as described. No aphantasia for me either.
Right now in California sunrise in winter is around 7-7:30am. Many schools start as early as 7:15am, and most start by 8:15. Moving to year round DST would mean changing from some kids starting school right at sunrise to most kids walking to school in the dark.

I chose my wording carefully. I don't think I can persuade you and I don't seek to persuade you. In my opinion, intentionally choosing a timezone deliberately offset from the historic and natural meaning of 12pm ~= noon, which requires significant support which I have never seen.
It was easier to mint and carve out Colossus quota than e.g. Bigtable. I seem to remember that flex for Borg existed, but only in a few locations with enough capacity to back it. You couldn't just retrofit it in clusters where existing, large customers were already granted and using most of the quota.
>I do have plenty of experience using DAWs

Great! Made any music in 6/8, or signatures other than 4/4?

That was supported in Notator back in 1990 (along with time signature changes mid-track IIRC).

>I just don't see how it's relevant

I specifically said why, right at the top of my response.

>If you don't want to see development effort wasted I hope you'll contribute to the project

A tempting idea, putting it on my list. See, there's value in these discussions!
That's fun. I actually used a similar method to build this page[1]. (see page source). I used script tags for the content.

Seems like one of the few tools on the market that caters towards making the developers' lives easier, which is much needed!

I don’t think it’s very realistic that Microsoft would port the whole Trident engine along with all the involved technologies used by a lot of these legacy apps (activex, VBScript, ms office and active directory integration, etc.) to linux. Especially at the end of its life.
Maybe participants receive value from code they consume freely, so they return value the same way.

Maybe these platforms will end up on peer-to-peer content-hash networks instead of "hub" and "stack" silos. Then the platforms won't retain much value. So I guess it's opportune to monetize them soon before that can happen.
I don't know, man. I work with my brain as best I can. Some pages of books are an entire page of "glance, glance, okay, that's all meaningless" next-page. But I also remember books as intensely as TV or in-person experiences, if not moreso.

If I'm trying to figure out whether what I've just written will make any sense to other human beings, sometimes I'll say a fragment of it out loud to hear the emotion and make sure it's landing properly. My edit history on HN is probably >99% of my comments have edits within sixty seconds of sending it, because Fixed-width reads different than Sans-serif, and I can't absorb many Fixed-width fonts very well in white-on-black, certainly not whatever the browser defaults are. (InputMono Light dethroned Menlo Regular after ten years in my Terminal, and I miss it any time I'm in the browser. Yes, I know I how to fix that in the browser.)

Reading is the inverse but the same: sometimes I have to do five passes on a paragraph or page, just to fully grasp whatever it's trying to say.
Detecting echoes requires that they’re running active sonar, which announces their presence to everyone and somewhat ruins the raison d’être for submarines. Running passive they can detect surface ships, but not mountains per se.
Penis recognition software is more private and is definitely the future of Internet identity.
Worked on implementing such functions as part of larger project to mimic CATIA in Xenix system. I was and still fascinated with computer graphics and it was a dream project to work straight out of school. At that time we relied heavily on the computer graphics book by Foley et. al. It should be still a comprehensive book for someone trying to wet his feet and beyond in computer graphics.
From your first Wikipedia link ... that show is pretty good:

> Snowfall is an American crime drama television series set in Los Angeles in 1983. The series revolves around the first crack epidemic and its impact on the culture of the city. The series follows the stories of several characters whose lives are fated to intersect including CIA operative Teddy McDonald who helps to secure guns for the Contras. The character reporter Irene Abe is said by fans of the show to be a stand in character for the real life Gary Webb.

Although I am not to sure if the suicide wasn't really a suicide. On the other hand a group that is known to have done worse than this it doesn't sound implausible.
True, but you could also get the address of the screen buffer and define a structured type to overlayed it that allowed you to put values directly into memory.

Each screen location was two bytes, one byte for the character value, and one for the character attributes which were a set of bits that controlled red, green, blue and intensity for both the foreground color and background color.

Then you could write routines that would fill in a rectangular region with a color, scroll the text of a region up or down, and do all sorts of other windowy things. There were also interrupt routines you could call that did some of these, and certainly routines in Crt that did some of this. Then you were on your way to developing your own TUI library!

Alternatively, you would issue an interrupt call to put the screen into 320x200 256 color mode, get the address of that buffer ($B800 if memory serves), similarly overlay it with a typed grid, then start poking byte values in and getting all sorts of nice colors out of it. Super fun!!
"US Pacific Fleet released a press statement on the submarine incident five days after the collision occurred on October 2, delaying its release because of operational security concerns. China has capitalized on that delay, suggesting it is suspicious."

Public notice within 5 days isn't too bad given we are talking about a strategic asset.
Yep on M1 macs there is no T2, it's already been integrated.
I assume you already carry a continuous data logger in your pocket. At least it's voluntary. ;)

I don't know what the most practical solution is while still being respectful of people's privacy. It could be a combination of GPS and an odometer or just one of these or something else. It doesn't have to leave the car and only the total number each year is important. You just need to somehow make sure the results weren't tampered with.
The borgman readability approvers makes me chuckle.

At Stripe, there were language approvers. Only those blessed could approve PRs. Even XML had a set of approvers. I had fun time getting hold of an XML approver.

I've added you as a candidate for the Senior Frontend Developer role. I assume that would be the best fit?

For others reading this, a CV is not necessary to apply (though helps me quickly and accurately screen). All we require at first is your name, email, and a response regarding our quick quiz on the Lever page (just whether you have already completed it or will complete it).
Is this really the case? Finance is highly regulated and there is a lot of superb software.
Yes, they use it for SSH and programming without worrying about taking care of their hardware. Chromebooks aren't a pain, but I doubt your researcher can run those easily either with such old hardware my 1.6ghz atom netbook probably smokes it and still I wouldn't use it for that.

Most people don't need to run those programs, they're niche, and the normal consumer doesn't care.
This is so incredible for me to, well, imagine (no pun intended).

I’m super curious now and hope you don’t mind.

If you are currently not outside your house, and I ask you to tell me how many windows your house has – and I also ask you to not step outside your house and not go from room to room, literally counting the windows – how would you do this?

When I do this, I can‘t help to go from room to room in my mind, visualizing each room in my mind, and, well, basically count the windows from the images in my mind.

I can’t imagine how else one could do this! And I assume you are nevertheless able to tell me from memory the number of windows in your house, even without physically visiting each room and also assuming that you don’t just happen to know the number by heart (I don’t for my house, and it‘s a small house – yet I have to „visit“ each room mentally and visually).

Or are you? As said, really curious!

I mean, if you don’t happen to know the number by heart, and you also aren’t allow to count them in person, but you ALSO only see a blank space when closing your eyes – in a way, you shouldn’t be able to answer that question…? Or am I missing something?
Doesn't look nearly as much damage as to USS San Francisco though, the idea of the Connecticut having hit a container seemed more likely to me.
The last bullet of each scenario is fundamentally different, and the ammunition bit is the most important part.
...sure. But then you start to lose one of the most talked-up benefits of Rust, "safety". Or am I missing something?
Basically, yes. Most arguments expressed here apply to Bash as well as to other POSIX compatible shells. Even the trick from the initial blog post is also works for POSIX shell AFAIK (didn't check). Definitely working is something like (which is just a little more verbose):

myFunc() { (
#...
) }

So in this case I don't think it makes sense to make a distinction between the two. In essence, I think Bash and the other POSIX shells share most of their greatest strengths and weaknesses.
Death and taxes.
> I suppose it works best when the application doesn’t also auto-update, which many do.

Yes, the update prompts get annoying (auto-updaters don't work since everything's read-only). I use niv to update things, e.g.

$ niv update firefox -v94.0

That will:

- Update firefox's version field in nix/sources.json

- Update its url field based on its template (for Firefox that's "https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/<version>/mac-E...")

- Fetch that file to the Nix store

- Update firefox's sha256 field to match that file's

Running nix-build will create a new system package, and the nix/sources.json changes can be committed to git.
I think using an executable format like in the article, you'll find it's not actually that much harder to read than a Word document with proportional fonts. And I'm not sure where you need screenshots if it's about doing things on a non-Windows system, even if that seems like an odd transition at first :)
FWIW, a 4TB SSD with the same speed (7GB/sec) is currently $1200 ($750 more than the 2TB). So Apple's price is decent for the current market.

I'm certainly not enthused about being stuck with current market capacities, but at least I don't feel gouged on price.
I surf as often as possible.
You're allowed to feel pissed at being tricked. I also almost closed the laptop when I saw Daniel. But in the end I abandoned it because the story was just not compelling, except the emperrors subplot.
I don't think that you're making this up. I think that the advice would still be to leave units vacant and bring them up market even in the presence of extremely landlord-friendly eviction policy...

Life - as we know it.

We don't know how those elements interact in high temperature/pressure/dynamic environments. Some compounds which are very stable here may be less so there. Some inorganic form of ice may behave in a very organic way under certain conditions - we just don't know - until we send a probe there.
