Would separate SSD metadata devices help if the pool, as in Heap.io's case, already consists entirely of SSDs? It's obviously a win for a use case like Rsync.net's where the data is less “hot”and therefore uses much more cost-effective HDDs.

I use emacs to take notes, yes. I haven't seen any other tool that has similar features for that purpose.

But more to the point, I don't want to have to justify every tiny aspect of my development environment. Does gitpod provide a way out of that sort of authoritarian system?

> For taking notes I use the iPadOS15 notes feature by swiping from the bottom right hand hot corner.

Honest question: what does swiping have to do with how to not have all my personal notes in the cloud?

Hm, I think perhaps you're saying one can keep notes that are not in the dev environment at all? Of course that's true, but I'm incredibly accustomed to working entirely in a heavily customized emacs, switching between org-mode buffers and code. Sometimes that's via org links to specific tiny fragments of code content (a link to e.g. a filename + the text "def my_function(" will take me right there even if the code changes a bit).
This cannot happen, as any system good enough to handle all edge cases will be too complex for a layman to easily understand.

"the primary goal is to increase the value of assets and returns on capital rather than the underlying performance and economic growth"

They're the same thing. Getting more productivity out of a given asset is by definition an increase in performance and efficiency.
Well, that comment is quite absolute in its assessment of a five mile e-bike commute as "trivial". It brooks no exceptions even for stoplights or congested traffic conditions. It is not at all obvious to me what assumptions I am supposed to make when reading it, and its ancestor comments do not establish context as to what assumptions to make either.

Even so, I tried to find common ground by merely softening the "trivial" language to "often doable" rather than contradicting. Because clearly it will sometimes be "trivial".

So, I disagree with your assessment of "uncharitable". And I am taken aback that there is so much bitter contention over this issue when it seems to me as though the important thing is that e-bikes have made commutes much easier in general.

It's great that startTls has been stabilized! That will make it so a lot more can be done without --unstable.

The localStorage thing feels like a change in the security model. Unless I'm missing something, now without any permissions a program can save data between calls. I thought that without --allow anything it would be close to a pure function. I think it's easily worked around by specifying a temporary localstorage when running a program you want sandboxed more fully.
None of these can be tested by an online-proctored test necessitating the installation of a rootkit.

The first two have specific government licensing requirements that require in-person examinations in use of the equipment in question.

The third has no need of any sort of proctored test.

The fourth _may_ need some sort of proctored test, but most teaching licences require in-person or otherwise monitored practica—and those are far more viable than anything proctored. Teachers should _often_ be ready to turn to books, depending on what it is they are teaching.

The fifth also doesn’t need a proctored test, and the type of immediate no-book knowledge required when preparing something is something that isn’t readily memorizable, but is instead only something that is achievable via long experience. Most chefs work from recipes and plans.

I don’t think that any of the examples you have given fit the mold.

> I've noticed a tendency for modern keyboard to remove these edit keys...

The teeny tiny arrow keys on modern laptops is actually part of the reason why I have Caps+IJKL be arrow keys. I have a lot of opinions/feelings about arrow keys. (Why are the most commonly used keys so small??? /rage)

For me Caps + H and semicolon are home/end, Y/P are PgUp/Down, U/O are 4lefts/4rights, and 8/, are 4ups/4downs. The 4's are surprisingly useful, especially when navigating. Home and End combo with Ctrl to yield beginning/end of document, which is also nice. (so like Ctrl+Caps+H = beginning). Everything combos with Ctrl and Shift for wordskipping/selection which is really nice.

I haven't tried making modifiers do different things when used alone - that's a neat idea.

I think a better example is the app stores.

HTTP + HTML was "pre commercial" or commercial-dawn. Adding JS was a pro-commerical act, and it enabled richer experiences.

We later got mobile-apps, which are often website-adjacent in function and UI. They're less common standards in how they're built (proprietary device api's, competing languages across brands, etc). We still have the ability to deep-link across apps, but its much less common than on web, and its not as easy to "extract" a deep link for sharing, its basically the developers choise.

I predict the commercial metaverse will be the same, we'll need deep-linking, and we'll get it. We need some standardized file formats (for things like 3d models, avatar clothes maybe), but mostly it'll be siloed experiences that are made for each platform. We're a little better off here than with phones because we already have game engines that allow some portability of rendering and UI logic. Is that enough to re-create the HTML-style free web? probably not.

After just seeing a post for a new service called Gallery and thinking of how annoyed I was at Facebook taking over the word meta and Trump taking over the verb to trump, part of me doesn't want this platform to succeed only because of its name. Someone below typed "I heard about 'you'" and it just made me realize how frustrated I am that so many tech companies seem to be repurposing more and more core words into their brand names. I guess Apple and Amazon have been doing it for a while.

Anyone know why this is happening, also feel annoyed by this, and know if there's any end in sight?
I've done something like this, dunno, may have been around 2000.
I think Capitalism, from its birth, only cares about "increasing the value of assets and returns on capital". It happened to focus on technological advancement during the last few centuries, simply because technological advancement brought about the biggest returns on investment (capital), and nothing else.

If technological advancement does not satisfy the return of capitals, it simply turns its focus elsewhere, be it making wars, dealing drugs or slaves, or whatever that brings about the biggest return of capital within acceptable risks.

Nothing more, and nothing else. Technological advancement and others are simply by-products.
> You can probably take more vacation that you already get in Europe.

I’ve always heard that places like this tend to pressure you into not taking many days or taking a more “normal” amount.

I just started a job with unlimited vacation, so I’ll have to see how it goes. I think best case is I can have more shorter stints through the year.
There is also issue that SSD write is much slower than even HDD write once internal buffers are saturated, and has unpleasant consequences.

When my system got thrashing (droping hot pages) due to memory pressure in a limited cgroup, i see continuous 400MB/s disk read traffic (as pages are read and then dropped), but the rest of system (outside the cgroup) is usable. But when i do some big file copying, the SSD sometimes causes multi-second system freeze due to locked SSD I/O.

Also, the write limits are pretty tight. Recently, i replaced my SSD after just 6 years of light use, because it reported average sector overwrite rate to be ~3300 of 3000 nominal lifetime. And current TLD and QLD SSDs have these limits even smaller.
I'd define "woke" as identity fundamentalism. It's all about identity - black vs white, male vs female, gender conformant vs non-conformamt; and it's fundamentalism because it doesn't admit a middle ground - you either blindly join them, or become their enemy. CRT is a good summary of their views.
> White supremacy, to me, implies explicit, militant, proactive racism. People who might very well be proud of the fact they're racists.

That is only half of the story of white supremacy though. The other half is the entrenched systems and biases baked into those systems that largely benefit white people, and that train people, through experience, to prioritize preserving the existing systems and status quo.

Not considering the fact that there is a well documented history over the last 20 years of tech companies and business in general prioritizing the experiences of the white majority, at the expense of people of colour, is largely the reason why you can "wouldn't be surprised if training data and/or testing were filmed in an office setting with the amount of light you expect there, and they never ran across the issues with dark skin interacting poorly with the amount of lighting a student would have a home.", and not consider that being the norm, or even acceptable as being indicative of white supremacy.

Those biases may not always, and only impact people of colour, but they do overwhelmingly benefit white people. That's the entire point of the article that OP shared, and the references the author of that post uses to back their claims.
The ideal use of preheader is to cut away some of the chaff in the head of the email - text about logging in, account info, etc. They are tough to consistently plan for as each email client chooses a different length of text to preview.

We've tested some pretty funky attention-grabbing ones, but nothing as blatantly exploitative as these. I really only see this kind of stuff coming in donation emails - I suspect recipients are more forgiving of it when it comes from a non-profit.

Which do you actually want? What bad things that might happen because of it, or that list of bad things massively trimmed down to just what the US government publicly sanctions as official policy?
Sorry, that's bullshit.

It all depends on the size of the investment and how you need to run it. I built a "new" environment on a company premises due to some compliance requirements that would be cost-prohibitive in AWS or GCP. The gear was procured through a leasing vehicle, and the hardware vendor had an SLA for delivering compute and storage. HPE happened to win the bid.

There is very little difference operationally. From a costing perspective, it's about 40% less than an AWS solution. But in fairness, the customer had an existing investment in a facility - you'd reduce the savings if you had to lease appropriate space in a colo. There are some differences in terms of headcount, but those staff aren't in NYC/SFO/BOS, so they are very cheap -- senior level engineers for $80-120k, fully loaded.

Startups do stupid shit like buy supermicro computers and cobbling together hardware that gets them into trouble when the mad scientist moves on to a new gig. Makes sense when you're drowning in VC money and need to hire people, but doesn't make sense in most other ways. You avoid that by doing competitive procurements and paying marginally more for HPE/Dell/Lenovo/etc.
>Is there anything, any issue, that doesn't involve large corporations making lots of money?

Preventative health practices, especially those utilizing simple, unpatentable, natural tools and techniques.
If you bought hardware with what you pay for AWS RDS you could run your entire DB in RAM. Hell you could probably put the data in memory on a GPU.

Also, this is generally why you run financials overnight. If your hardware is serving transactions during the day it can easily run your quarterlies at night.

nginx is far easier to maintain than AWS load balancers which is what load balancers their load balancers are. The best part about nginx configs? They are cloud agnostic and will work on everything from a Raspberry Pi to a 128 core EPYC server.

I'll tell you something about RDS reliabilty, your monthly maintenance window brings your DB down far more often than a single unreplicated server ever fails. EBS (like the entire thing) has failed more times in the last year on us-east-1 than my colo RAID.

The selling point of AWS is that if you pick AWS and it fails you can say, well the richest guy in the world can't figure this stuff out so it must be impossible, when in reality high school kids could make a more reliable system. If you pick AWS you have the unreliability of the base software / hardware of their systems plus whatever the AWS engineers fuck up. At this point it's pretty clear that they can't even keep a SAN working.
> On LinkedIn I frequently see Harvard listed on profiles, but upon digging in, it is Harvard Extension School which mostly seems to offer certificates.

This becomes awkward when interviewing if there's a real Harvard grad in the room. Invariably the first question they'll ask is which house the candidate was in.
I don't think that's specific to GE.

I am coming around to thinking that all good things are driven by small teams of less than 10 people maybe even less than 5, who all have a shared vision and drive to accomplish something. Everyone else is just along for the ride.

I personally find it strange how gleeful lots of US developers have been about remote work. It means our US salaries are going to be untenable and we'll be paid like the rest of the world. Why pay a Silicon Valley salary when it's remote anyway and 1/4 the price to get someone from elsewhere?

Perhaps the submitter thought it was clickbait. I can see the argument either way, but have restored the fuller title now.
It does not hijack the shortcuts to "work as if it was native", because there's no way to know how the native function works in every browser, in most cases.

Let's look at Ctrl+F again. The standard Chrome search toolbar is search-as-you-type, highlighting occurrences immediately. It also shows the total number of occurences found on the page, and has arrows to navigate to next/previous. It also doesn't auto-hide (and thus lose focus) if you scroll the page.

What does Discourse replace it with? A search toolbar that requires an explicit submission to even start searching - and then, instead of actually scrolling to the occurrence of the search term, it shows a dropdown with snippets of posts in current scope that matched the term, highlighting it much like a search engine would.

So it basically has nothing to do with the native function that it hijacks, other than the broad concept of textual search.
Which car brands are going all electric and when?
Now a days, it's very much true. I've worked for FAANG companies, a number of mid-major sized tech/internet companies, have had a engineering job for 20+ years, been a CTO and co-founded a VC backed company. All without any degree, in fact in the 20+ years in the field I've never once been out of work. Early in my career I was rejected a couple of times for lack of degree but I can't even remember the last time I was asked about a degree. I know a number of other long term successful non-degree engineers also. So unless you have solid data to back that up, I'd agree strongly for it not being bullshit. The only tech field that I can see that argument for is higher level Data Scientists and that's clearly becoming less and less of a requirement also.
Curious if there is a one liner that would cover 80%+ of the error handling: onerror add context and return ; onerror function(err) and return ;
Carmack said basically the same thing in his Connect 2021 keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnSUk0je6oo

"There are no lapsed mobile users, essentially... but there are, right now, a whole lot of people that are lapsed VR users...."
I am working at one now (kind of, since MSFT doesn't really make it into the abbreviation), and one of the brightest senior engineers on my team had no degree whatsoever, just a high-school diploma (using past tense, because he left for another company a couple of years ago). I also have a bunch of friends who currently work Google (some from college, some former colleagues) and a few at FB, and all of them know at least one coworker without a college degree.

And when our team was recruiting experienced candidates (5-10 years or more), at no point we ever cared about their degree or lack thereof (aside from some specialized research positions that typically require graduate degrees). For entry level though, yeah, if you are in your early 20s without much industry experience, it is gonna be much tougher to get hired without a degree.
I found it intriguing that time.google.com advertises itself as Stratum 1. I imagined that Stratum 1 servers had to be physically attached to references like atomic clocks, and that the answers from time.google.com are probably served from a layer of devices that are attached by networks to those other hosts. How are the strata actually defined? Is Stratum 1 defined by accuracy or architecture?

Ask HN: Any way to use Keybase without installing their app? (macOS)
I have a need every few months to receive a short message or config file from somebody via Keybase for work purposes. Thing is, I'd rather not install their app for a lot of reasons, biggest of those being I simply have no trust in Zoom or Keybase whatsoever. It's bloated, it's unmaintained since the Zoom acquisition, and I have no guarantees that the published source code is actually what they release to the public. There's also mention in the readme's on github[1] of "privileged tasks" being run; I see no reason they need any privileged access at all, which further erodes any credibility they might have had in my mind.

I can't get others to switch (I've tried) and I have no choice but to use it somehow, so I'm trying to find a way to use the keybase CLI, some alternative client should it exist, or some other (preferably not VM based) install method for these infrequent one-offs, but I'm not having much luck with my search results. I'd rather void using a VM for this (seems like it shouldn't be necessary and it's a huge system resource drain for something so small) but will resort to that if there's just no other option.

So can anyone recommend an alternative installation method or client that lets me use actual real keybase.io without having to run their bloated, untrustworthy abandonware? Thanks for your help.

EDIT: I don't see any way to use the website to get messages sent to me or files for some reason. Don't know if that's an org setting or something, or an app-only feature for some reason.

Ask HN: Any Experience with VirusDie?
Hello,
I am looking for a malware scanning service to offer to clients. One that has a good API so we can do the billing and is well priced. And one that is good at detecting any malware on a website.
Does anyone have any experience with VirusDie? They look to be good, my only concern is that they not be good at detecting all the different kinds of malware, and i was a little concerned that they are based in Russia, as client may not like that.
I am after some 1st hand experience if any has any? Or a recommendation on another provider.
