As a portuguese, while this looks good on paper, it won't contribute whatsoever to our current situation.

We're a country where the nationals earn like shit - probably one of the worst avg and median incomes in whole EU - and are choked to the brink of passing out by high taxes.

Our political class is exchanging our young and bright over to foreign pensioners, and now apparently, foreign remote workers.

Just so you understand the status quo: people were being pushed out of big cities for years, and now with remote work even more people are being pushed out of medium sized cities in the interior, because everyone wants to live in the country side or by the shore.

We're fucked in every direction by high rents, high real-estate, high taxes, high energy costs, yet our incomes remain shit.

In 20 years you'll probably see the news headline:

"Workers in Portugal now must work until the age of 75 so they could see a healthier work-life balance under new labor laws!"
This is a really silly, outdated world view. You don't need everyone to fight to defend countries now, we have autonomous fighter jets, satellites, nuclear submarines, robots that can do parkour while carrying hundreds of pounds of gear (machine guns, rocket launchers), remote control drones that can deliver predator missiles to targets across the globe. You don't need everyone to fight to defend countries anymore. You just need a faction of the population to be into militarism and nationalism and they'll be the warrior class that commands the robot armies that will wage the warfare of tomorrow.

And looking even more forward, as corporations replace/control the government (basically already happening), the corporations will mediate armed conflicts and facilitate global cooperation in the interest of global profits. Warfare will be waged via tariffs, sanctions, and embargoes.
23andMe was insanely inaccurate for 100% of the predictions related to myself. I'm also concerned about what is known or suspected about my family. Especially, with how inaccurate the predictions are.
Red flag test. Vague, no guidance around how much time to spend, no guidance around where to focus from a technical perspective (i.e. build anything/everything), bias towards someone who already has some related code completed. Given the lack of clarity, accurately assessing one candidate vs another would be difficult. It also comes off as lazy.
The argument doesn't really track but it's very much worth examining DRM and its relationship with/effects on copyright and the rights of consumers, anyway.

DRM is frequently used not just to protect copyright, but to also completely control access beyond the purpose of copyright. See the recent Denuvo snafu for an example of this being done (presumably) by accident, noting that it can also be done on purpose to e.g. plan obsoletion. It doesn't just control copyright, it controls your actual rights to access content you legally own and hinges that access on running a service in perpetuity, which is not the least bit realistic. It's digital rights management but treats those rights like a privilege instead.
Organic certification does not have much to do the quality of the food produced in the first place. It is only a qualification of the means by which it is produced, what kinds of fertilizers and pesticides are used, etc. There is a sort of implicit assumption that more natural-ish means of productions are somehow better than others but it's not really something you can test from the product itself.
i tried with Alpine image, no network neither.
I also used to have a Reddit account but, like Facebook, more often than not, when I left it I would feel worse than when I logged in. Once that starts happening with a site, I stop going and delete my account. I'm not exactly sure when it happened with Reddit, but it's been about a year and a half to two years since I've logged on, now. The site just got angrier and angrier, regardless of the subreddit. I tended to stick to the more technical subreddits, and even there squabbles were breaking out and the moderators were not reigning it in =[
Not to dispute anything the article says, but a reminder: Hacker News is social media too.

Which is fine! But I often see comments on here (typically under any article about Facebook) where the poster says they’ve deleted all social media and their life is much better for it, etc etc. No you haven’t because you’re still on here. No problem with that as long as you’re getting value from the time you spend here, but it should perhaps give you pause when prescribing what others do with their time: others may decide some other form of social media is a worthy use of their time and their choice is not necessarily more or less valid than yours.

Just take a moment to think about the brute force attack and whether that should have worked at this scale in the properly secure environment.
The two hardest problems are naming, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

In this case, there's a naming problem. "Class 1" and "Class 2" don't give any semantic content. Is there a "Class 3" coming along?

Let me suggest "Inadequacy Problems" and "Ubiquity Problems" as alternatives.

> it's very common for HTTP(S) to be used for the "last mile" for content that originates from IPFS

Indeed, it seems very common, but that doesn't make my original point less true.

> the "last meter" delivery is still done using HTTP too, via a local gateway

Yeah, that seems common too, but less "wrong" to call it "IPFS support" in that case, in my opinion.

Running your own IPFS gateway at least makes the content actually fetched from the network (internet) via IPFS while using ipfs.com/cloudflare-ipfs.com is not any different than just using a CDN (except usually you have to pay for CDNs, IPFS gateways seems to be free (for now)).
I remember years back in the early days of the Internet reading about two Russian sailors that vapourised themselves attempting to dismantle the trigger of a nuke for precious metals. It was amusing in a dark way but I think it was probably untrue.
Not terribly convinced by arguments about normalization for normalization's sake. As with most things, the definitive answer is "it depends". It's not the 1990s anymore.

Personally I think it's just a better marketing.

I think the laundry list of "things quitting gives you" is massively overblown. I know people whose use of social media puts them in a competitive mindset that helps them get to work that day and put their face and clothes on nice in the morning. It's a major part of their success and happiness. I know other people without it who are depressed degenerates that don't know very many people.

As far as the individual is concerned, large studies on the effects of quitting are pretty much meaningless. It depends entirely on your context and relationship with it, and how much your social life hinges on events primarily organised on FB/Messenger et al. I quit about 5 years ago, and missed out on a ton of casual, ad-hoc events. And yes, they were "real", if mostly circumstantial - but still important - friends.

For me, these are the things which I think aren't so context-dependent when it comes to these good/bad/unhealthy discussions:

Issue A is the addiction pattern - "the scrollies" - being unable to tear your thumb (and eyes) away.

Issue B is losing your own take and knowing what your own take requires - I now do my best not to read other people's words in my usual reading voice, although it's not easy. Particularly with toxic/pseudonymous sites, you're often eating where someone else is shitting. You take on opinions without knowledge and viewpoints without experience.

Getting off social media doesn't do shit. Fixing why you are vulnerable to the issues we all know about does. Sometimes you need to get off SM to fix it. Sometimes you don't. Let's not turn this into some kind of religious rite of transition.
It's not remotely the same — if you are circumcised, your dick still basically works fine. I mean, yeah, wtf, but it's a minor change. Like getting a tooth pulled, or an appendectomy, for no reason.

You get (most values of) the "girls version" around the world, and it's basically equivalent to chopping off the entire top half of your dick. The _important_ part.

Totally not in favor of either. But there is no equivalence here.
There seems to be? I've seen old comments by [deleted] from time to time. You probably have to email hn@ycombinator.com to get that done.
Why do you find it the most toxic? Just curious, I personally find Twitter way more toxic, maybe it's because of the subs I'm subscribed to
Hamas has also initiated unilateral ceasefires (called "tadiyah") that Israel has broken.

The actual timeline is that in 2006, Hamas won the elections (hence the "takeover") despite Israel prohibiting them from campaigning and arresting their candidates.

Upon their election, Israel put them under sanction, prohibited them from traveling between the two parts of Palestine they had been elected to run, withheld governmental money owed to the PA, and sponsored a coup against their government (which pushed them out of the West Bank, hence Hamas' exclusive control of Gaza).

AFAIK, elections have not been permitted in the PA since then.

Hacker news and reddit FIRE subs and wallstreetbets is way more fomo-inducing than instagram or twitter, i have found. Most people live very mundane, unaccomplished lives, compared to people in tech. Average people are not involved in FAANG. "I have $3 million by 30 what do I do?" or "genius scientist discovers new particle" are not posts you typically see on Instagram, Facebook,or Twitter.
The internet was a much more interesting place pre-2004, but I am not holding my breath for a return to those times.

There are cheaper ways to kill a whole family as any organised crime boss will be happy to tell.

Have not used this in anger but - from what I've read best practice is also to use separate datasets for the WAL and the rest of the data (including committed data) - this helps ZFS understand that WAL and committed are both separate datasets that both need separate QOS handling within ARC rather than just letting the WAL eat the whole cache. It'll try its best to balance them regardless, of course.

You can still snapshot them atomically by making them both children of a parent dataset and performing a recursive snapshot on the parent. so you have dataset:

myservice/pgdata

myservice/pgwal

or

myservice/pgdata

myservice/pgdata/pgwal

or whatever.

So question, given that this article is about LZ4 memory compression for postgres, would you want it enabled for both/either/none of those datasets? Obviously compression-on-compression doesn't generally help at all, but lz4 performance obviously doesn't hurt much at all either, so if there's anything that postgres doesn't compress, maybe it would be faster in a few niche situations.

Have you told your client that you are making use of tools that upload the intellectual property they’ve shared with you / they’ve paid you to create for them, onto third-party servers?

If I was paying for work and the contractor was uploading the end result onto some sort of shared AI training set, we would not be working together for very long.

You may have brought up an excellent point that needs to be inserted into new legal contracts — either an opt in or out regarding the use of tools of various kinds that upload data into the cloud to “help” you. Maybe other companies would be okay with stuff like Copilot if it allows them to pay less money for developers who can’t write proper code without it, or something. I don’t know. I know that I want nothing to do with these sorts of systems, and I don’t want any of my code anywhere near it. I’ll definitely try to make sure nobody with access to my private repos has any of that nonsense enabled.

Maybe the legal version of Copilot can write an appropriate contract clause for us?
Ok, they're there now.

Worse than that there are a large number of people actively calling for the censorship.

Maybe I'm getting old but I don't understand this current generations fervor for censorship of things they disagree with. I've always slanted toward letting better speech battle "incorrect" assumptions. I don't see anything helpful about banning or censoring people and just see it leading to authoritarianism.

If it has a buy button for game xyz you should assume you’re buying the game, not a license, even if the fine print says otherwise. For multiplayer games it would probably be ok to not perpetually run the servers, for single player the server isn’t an aspect that is crucial to the functioning. There may be an issue with how long ago the purchase was though.

Just an FYI, Apple does give its developer the ability to have the app wake up from background on-demand or at scheduled intervals to perform specific tasks. This is something that can be done as long as the phone is ON and connected to the public gateway either via cell towers or WiFi.

An example would be the Facebook app icon with notification count or the Mail app with unread emails count. This counter is updated based on background processing of Fb or email notifications.

> Roundup and synthetic fertilizer do not affect flavor

I'm not arguing they do. But I've seen conventionally grown apples that were nearly the size of my head, and I've never seen organic produce that comes anywhere close.

Granted, that just means it would be difficult to pass off organic as conventional, while the reverse you could just pick conventional earlier, but I think arguing "organic does not look different" is asking me to disbelieve my eyes every time I go to the grocery store.
Agree with the detox idea for some people. But they have to of course want to do it.

But I would extend the concept to all point of view media as well including point of view cable "News" or radio programs. I have had this convo with a couple friends who seemed to be getting radicalized and I suggested abstaining from all point of view media for 30days. But even after a few days a lot of people report feeling happier and less agitated.

My recommendation to anyone who spends more than 30 - 60 minutes a day on social, point of view or similar type media, might benefit from taking a perspective break.

Read a book, play some music, listen to some music, watch a fun movies (no documentaries), cook, exercise, hike, bike, etc. etc. You will feel better :)
Exactly. Somehow there is this impression that software engineers are having it really hard and they face worst job requirements/interviews.

I will always miss Aqua. I remember vividly the first time I used it OS X on a new Bondi Blue iMac, with the soap-on-a-rope mouse. I walked away beaming from ear to ear that there was this gorgeous juicy, make-you-want-to-lick-it UI on top of a UNIX environment with bash and gcc and all. The future was bright! Later on, ZFS almost made it in; I envisioned that the UNIX world would quickly collect around ZFS as a standard filesystem format and all would be grand and the UNIX wars of the 90s would be a distant memory.

ZFS never made it. Ho-hum. Then, gradually, release by release, the character was drained out of the icons and buttons and all became flat, blithely following the fashion of the day. Now it doesn't stand for anything in particular. The irony is that the flatter icons on the newer releases render with far less compute power than the rounded ones of the older hardware.

HN does it with heavy moderation.

For one, the scope of what's allowed to be posted is small. You're never going to see a post about Kylie Jenner's latest trip here.

Second, low-quality comments are universally downvoted. Jokes and fun are allowed, but we don't tend to beat dead horses into a bloody pulp like reddit does. You will never see "Username checks out" as a comment here.

Lastly, HN is mostly populated by tech workers. The average education level of an HN user is likely significantly higher than the general population.
