Speaking of building immutable images - I want to do that for one of my projects, but scanning the docs for buildroot and yocto, I don’t see anything about applying updates - which is the part where I most want an off-the-shelf battle-tested solution so I won’t need to fly out and fix it in person.

Specifically, I want to have a disk image with two root partitions - by default (ie, what I flash to the SD card) the first partition has a read-only root FS and the second is empty. When an upgrade is ready, the system downloads the update from the internet, writes it to the second partition, and reboots - if the reboot is successful and the system passes health checks, it marks partition 2 as the default. If something goes wrong, it reboots again back into the original partition. (Then when v3 comes out, v2 downloads and writes it to the first partition, etc)

I keep thinking “surely this must be a solved problem?”, but I can find very little information about it; and the few things I can find are proprietary cloud-based management systems, when I’d much rather have my image hard-coded to poll an update-feed-URL that I control myself...
The love comes when you're a single maintainer at a standard line-of-business app that manages a few hundred tables.

Most apps don't need to be performant. Most business logic is object-centric and relation-centric. Leveraging the best features of highly-integrated frameworks like Django and Rails mean that the framework has to understand and talk to objects, not database rows.

I have maintained several Django projects with a couple hundred tables by myself or another team member. I cannot imagine maintaining such a gigantic heap of equivalent SQL for trivial business logic.
This is important because… line of sight has somehow stymied us?

I feel like quantum entangled communication would be a better direction to head. Not that they’re mutually exclusive development paths.
What are you basing your numbers on?
No. Instead there's foil involved.

Cooking is an empirical endeavor.

Lower temperatures tend to dry meats out, e.g. jerked meats (all things kept constant (a sous vide gives different results)).
Ummmm, I might be in the minority but corporate 1A is not the same as citizen’s 1A.
Love to see Bulma in the mix, it is my favorite CSS framework. Thanks!
Something in between :) It's lower pressure than espresso, but it is under a bit of pressure
It's also the problem of leaky abstractions. Now I need to know a lot about SQL, as well as the ORM, and in particular how the ORM maps to my conceptual model of the underlying SQL.

The cognitive load (with some more than others) of this can be extreme. I'm thinking of Hibernate I'm particular.

I think there's a good underlying drive for this: type safe, composable, declarative language-centric queries. Especially helpful with bulk data management. I think if SQL was a more natural mapping to this model, it wouldn't be so bad, but SQL was not created for programmatic interaction (it was created to be hand written), and can be challenging to create abstractions around.

These days I'll lean on simple ORM-light tools, but quickly prefer an escape hatch when things get even a little complex. Mapping the output is something that I'm happy to delegate to a framework though.

Some tools can even provide compile time type checking of your queries, I think that's getting somewhere more interesting.
I don't know what it is but I get headaches after eating Impossible foods, but Beyond has no issues. Impossible could be extraordinarily salty?
Can you post a (simplified) sketch of what your looping solution looks like? I'd like to give it a shot with map/filter/etc so we can compare.
It's something in between IMO. A moka pot cannot produce the pressures necessary for making traditional espresso, but it does produce a strong, slightly viscous coffee and occasionally some crema. A lovely brew on its own!
I'm in CS research, I submit all my papers as latex sources. Submitting pdfs that were obviously created in latex is supposedly against the rules.
America’s Gambling Addiction Is Metastasizing
That doesn't really seem completely related to the topic at hand. Besides, if we _were_ producing more things like Impossible foods that _did_ use soy, then we wouldn't need to export it as much?

I'm not proposing all production in the US switch to soy crops, and your argument seems pretty disingenuous to me
There's a table. It's in another comment. Looks like about 20min per lbs.
Heh on the continent they eat goose sometimes so I guess that might be the longer standing tradition? With no actual knowledge of these matters, game feels in season for late autumn / early winter...?
I want to see a manufacturer do one of these without poverty spec RAM. Same with disc, the same options you get on an iPhone 256, 512, 1Tb.

Then you have a nice ARM laptop, not a poverty spec machine for a 7 year old to use instead of a Chromebook.
If you want actual espresso without using much more space, check out the wacaco picopresso. Super happy with it
Website lags scrolling on my desktop too. How do website even manage to break scrolling..?
I think you agreed with yourself while thinking aloud in empty room 15 yrs ago.
Three months only, but without a doubt it's the best moka I've had. As a daily driver it's great:

- For some reason it succeeds at temperatures lower than other mokas I've had, which is good for the taste as well as for energy savings and the life expectancy of the rubber piece.

- It doesn't drip! All mokas I've had dripped at some point.

- It doesn't have a plastic handle that will melt if you
forget to turn off the stove (yup I've done this).

I'm comparing it to an IKEA moka and several Bialetti mokas. Not fair in terms of price.

Pyronzi scheme it is, then.
This just looks like applying the boy scouts rule to me. She had a reason to update an old library to modern standards, and she did it. That's great! Let's get rid of that tech debt.
Ugh, I just hard disagree. Beyond tastes like a veggie patty to me.
Is Software Engineering Still an Oxymoron? • Alan Kay • Goto 2021
Interesting choice to pick "Omicron" instead of "Nu," which news outlets had been expecting them to use. Perhaps this allows them to avoid having to use "Xi" as the name of a Covid variant, which would have been...inconvenient for the WHO.
For the SEO, the content in the issues is still good.

The real question is why GitHub itself isn't higher, and the most obvious answer is that it's owned by Microsoft. User generated content is only prioritized if it's from a Google run community
Thanks will do. I love interesting stuff so I gladly will take a look.
Can’t wait to see the tone of this forum change when YC starts investing in metaverse projects using web3 for auth.
Short version if they get taken down:

The validation apps used a 512 bit RSA public key.

They used a factoring app and spend $200 on amazon to factor the private key from the public key.

They were then able to generate the COVID passes.

This is for the Honai Police Dept.
I googled him. It took 3 seconds to realize I wanted my 3 seconds back.
Only tried patties / burgers. Depending on the size of the patty it's as good as the best fast food burger or as a medium-grade (not medium in a sense of "medium rare") gourmet burger.

You should absolutely eat it hot though, once it cools down it's a a bit less good.

Overall it's pretty amazing and can work as a substitute for meat.

It doesn't give you the meat heaviness, which some people may consider a downside, but I personally consider it an upside. I can't imagine having a 1/2 lb burger and then doing sports even 2 hours later. I'd just feel gross and heavy.kj With Impossible burger sports would be totally, well, possible.
I bought one in early 2020.

My main issue with it so far is that 3/4 of the time it fails to boot from eMMC (if you bought the serial cable, you can see that u-boot just hangs).

Also, the default Manjaro image doesn't have hardware video acceleration so good luck watching YouTube at more than 480p.
Gross.

Instead of addressing the problem of monopoly and factory meat, let’s drive towards Roman latifundia and pretend that soy, peas and coconut/palm oil are meat.
MHTML is not going anywhere, but presumably you could do a single HTML file with all media as embedded data URIs?
I have had the exact opposite experience. The cheap ones with physical buttons and timers last longer and are way cheaper to fix if it does break.
Btw I stopped reading at "the establishment" because I know your worldview is informed by random suspicions about a vague cabal that controls the wold.
> Like several entries, this short (99 line) submission filters out dirty words, with an array of curse-replacement pairs, e.g. { “fnord”, “fn*rd”, “Matlab”, “M****b” }.

Hilarious writing. It's sad to think most of these submissions can just be innocent day to day use cases

Generally you want to use as little heat as possible when brewing with a moka pot. The most common issue people have with them is bitter coffee caused by burning their ground. The usual advice is to boil the water before filling and chilling as soon as the pot starts bubbling.

From my point of view, if what you are looking for is a very finicky way of making coffee, you have two options: a cheap moka pot or an expensive coffee machine. Then again, I do have a Silvia. Finicky has a certain appeal.
That might well be the case - however a stance w/o reliable indicators doesn't work for me.
R2E#15: Hot for Professeure
What Isabelle Huppert taught me about sexual allure and the importance of respect.
There's plenty of objective, and subjective reasons why people would prefer higher-density living. Higher density means easy access to higher-quality resourcs like jobs, diversity, jobs, public transportation, restaurants/other amenities; which just can't be achieved with low-density occupancy. Finally, it's important to recognize how harmful sprawl is to the environment. The high-occupancy dwellers are using a fraction of energy a typical surbanite is.
The eMMC module is user swappable, so just get a larger one. You can also install an NVMe drive into it. I put /boot on the stock eMMC and root on the NVMe drive. You can do pure NVMe boot but I've been a bit too chicken about reflashing u-boot.

The ram does feel paltry in this day and age though. I wish you could use a sodimm module like the honeycomb uses.
> There are a few non-fiction books, though I'm blanking on the key author's name.

I don't know if he is who you had in mind, but Robert Anton Wilson -- who was one of the writers on the Illuminatus! trilogy -- has at least two non-fiction books on it. One is Prometheus Rising, the other is Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World. They are both a series of essays with exercises at the end of each chapter. If I remember correctly, Quantum Psychology was more about language and semantics, and Prometheus Rising was more about belief systems and viewpoints.

Quantum Psychology is both written in and a guide to E-Prime, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime (Edit, via wiki: 'E-Prime refers to a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be, including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms. Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing.')
Is arXiv openly accessible in China? I tried a quick search on the topic and saw that there are quite a few mirror sites but no definitive answer.
The Key to Managing Holiday Stress
Are you familiar with LFTR and if so can you indicate why fusion is practically superior to it? Cost, fuel availability, safety, vessel lifetime, etc.

LFTR scales down, has working examples (fit in a closet in ORNL)

fuel availability: lots of thorium, ignition fuel is a problem though

vessel lifetime: lots of caustic stuff in LFTR, but fusion is high temperature and will suffer vessel degradation from neutrons, won't it?

Safety: LFTR is meltdown proof due to liquid fuel and plugs, and seems to consume all its nuclear fuel (compared to solid rod). Fusion is "clean" but makes the reactor eventually radioactive?

Cost: Fusion is a ???, LFTR is undeveloped, and both will be a decade+ down the road during which solar/wind/battery will get substantially cheaper, moving the goalposts for cost/investment.
HN's top-voted comment at this moment begins: "Why so much hate for loops?" The item cited as 'hate for loops' is an introduction to 'loopless' programming in J, a universally admired language developed by Iverson. Whether LINQ or SQL etc. are also examples of 'hate for loops' or not ... I'm done.

For every web site there's a moment when user comments need to be declared 'not worth the pain of sifting through.' HN has crossed that threshold for me.

[Edit: My point is that we are crossing a sort of event horizon. Short-sighted micro-kvetching is becoming the largest single focus of user comments, upvotes, etc. on this site. Perennial examples: one-indexing vs zero-indexing; OO 'vs' FP; whitespace. You can list more yourself.]
It’s more than likely just the preparation, but I have found all the impossible/beyond meals I’ve eaten to be extremely salty.

I want to like it, but honestly I would rather just eat a salad.
The correct solution to providing affordable protein for the world is to use nuclear power to desalinate seawater and irrigate the Sahara Desert to turn it into a vast grassland that can support a billion cattle.

The plain fact of the matter is that humans evolved on an almost exclusively meat-based diet and to this day thrive on an almost exclusively meat-based diet.

Not only are plants toxic for humans, but widespread agriculture results in the loss of insect life, due to the massive use of insecticides, which in turn contributes to the loss of bird life due to the loss on insect life.

Plant-based diets are terrible for human health and terrible for the environment, what with all the fossil-fuel-based fertilizers. The sooner we come to our senses and massively invest in regenerative herding the better off we'll be as a species.

We should all be eating mostly red meat every day, with maybe a bit of fruit here and there -- this is by far the healthiest diet both for the human body and for the Earth as our home.

And no, I'm not trolling -- this is my sincere and deeply-held belief.
Have tried the Kamira. Apart from it being a bit weird looking, the coffe does come out really good. Not an espresso though, but a very good coffee.
You would be some special kind of fool to think that if you say A when you actually mean B, people will respond to B rather than to A.
It’s a great replacement for beef for taco meat. With all the chili seasoning it is as good or better than real beef. You really can’t tell much of a difference. We haven’t tried it as burgers yet (we mostly eat turkey burgers anyway).

I do also wonder how the food safety compares. Ground beef has a large risk of e-coli and needs to be thoroughly cooked. Presumably plant-based food doesn’t have the same level of danger. Although I imagine if left unrefrigerated anything with that much nutrition in it would quickly become dangerous to eat.
I wish I could put in a claim but I'm in the US :|

My identity theft didn't (directly) involve a bank. It was a major retailer where someone opened and maxed out a credit card in my name, a cell phone company where they opened up a new family plan and made off with 4 unlocked iphones, and (later) the Small Business Administration where someone applied for a covid relief loan that got approved for about $100k. Luckily, my credit monitoring instantly caught it and I was able to call and stop dispersal

All-in-all I was out a few hours of my time and the cost to make copies and send faxes
> Andreessen Horowitz’s cryptocurrency fund made one of its largest investments to date in Sky Mavis, leading a $152m financing that valued the company at $3bn.

> Sky Mavis, which takes a 4.5 per cent cut of transactions within the game, has made about $1.2bn of revenues

I mean, say what you want about this being a scam, ponzi scheme, etc. That is some real cash.

I saw this game popping up on Twitch a few months ago and immediately realized it was some kind of crypto scheme. I thought it was gambling. The fact that this is generating billions of revenue and attracting hundreds of millions of brand-name financing amazes me. The game was released in 2018, about 3 years ago.

It really makes me reconsider the group-think on hacker news. To write off this activity as a scam or criminal seems to be missing a bigger picture that we don't quite understand yet.
> Yeah, i can understand that may be the case when one is mostly looking for "top" stuff and not topics/communities that may genuinely interest them (i.e. have a particular finance topic in mind) that people are trying to do in a decentralized way.

These are not mutually exclusive. I just want to find high-quality projects that interest me, which may or may not be already popular/successful. It’s hard to navigate the spaces sometimes because it’s hard to know the status quo. I can’t even determine the lay of the land because of filter bubbles.
On the contrary, I hate dealing with the various escaping characters for SQL, and to me SQLAlchemy expression is a life-saver. It gives me back a textual sql expression as a string and I can choose exactly how to run it. I do avoid the ORM part as I like to be in total control of the transaction, and I am often in the python async world, where ORM don't play nicely.
It’s different now. It’s the good, eco, vegan processed food, not the bad old processed food.
I don't have anything to add to what advice has already been given, but I wanted to mention my sleep schedule which is opposite of most people's problems.

Going to bed and sleeping on time is not a problem. I can pretty much go to bed any time after 9pm and fall asleep in 5-10 minutes. My problem is with waking up. It's not that I can't, it's that I just naturally wake up very early between 5 and 7am. Even now, when I've been working from home for 2 years and I could have improved my life so much by sleeping in until at least 8am, I still wake up very early. I'm usually not even rested, and I feel tired all day. I really don't have much to do at that hour and my partner is still asleep so I just play video games for a couple of hours. There's thousands of webpages of advice for not being able to sleep or sleeping being able to get up, but I can't really find anything for my problem.
Nobody "loves" them. It's one of many tools just like generic, OOP, functional, imperative, "nullsafe" features.

Long list of tools with usefulness.

I find people who tend to develop extreme on either end aren't that pragmatic.

I read your blog and I don't see any problems caused by ORM. Your product data model should fit in ORM (I get it, you're just using it as a simple example). The blog only mentioned "I used ORM in the past and had bad experience" without explaining the problems.

> In comparison, at my previous workplace, I was forced to use ORM, and everything was slower, awful, and hard to maintain for no benefit whatsoever

That seems to be the problem: your previous workplace, not the ORM itself.
I guess that there’s not many people going to write a long essay on how they use ORMs moderately, knowing the limitations, and it’s perfectly fine. It wouldn’t gather a whole crowd either.

What feels wrong to me in this post is the lack of nuance on how they used their ORM. For instance the whole part on how the ORM generated queries they wish were done in a different manner: why didn’t they bother writing either lower level code or just raw SQL to get their data as they wished ?

It looks to me they could have kept their ORM for the 80% cases it works great, and hand tune the 20% that could be problematic. Just like any other optimization problem.

There would be still the performance part where some overhead would still be there, but it’s usually not an issue if the ORM option was on the table in the first place.
Admittedly though, recursive CTE's like that are a bit of a minefield in practice. It's easy to confuse the query optimizer after chaining a few of those together, or to outright hit a recursion limit (32,767 in SQL Server).
I did. It is trivial to recreate.
Well guess what? Language and terminology change over time

While black Friday is a reference to a single day in history. It is also a reference to the annual shopping for Christmas. Which has also changed. It really was the start of the shopping season but alas, you cant stop change

Hey bud, I made a reply on this thread and now feel guilty about it. I’ve got nothing against you and you’re a wickedly smart person. Please please please don’t think I was mocking you or anything you believe. You’re a wickedly smart person and a talented writer. Those are the only opinions I have about you. Okay???

I have strong opinions about some of the cats who publish these ideas. Those opinions in no way inform the opinion I have of you.
If we look back, we wouldn’t see any singularity in the past and so I believe we will not experience a singularity event in the future either. If any, it will be a point of no-return of the collapsing of a complex system but not a singularity of progress. Why? Because the law of entropy still applies here. The existence of any organized, advanced system is actually against the entropy law. Chaos is the normal state, not organized. Therefore, long term speaking, any system will collapse. On the contrary, continue to build up any highly organized, advanced system is hard. Evolution is blind and so is technical, organizational advancement. That’s why we experience the law of diminishing return in each and every area.
Take AI for example. The popular idea is that once AI is smart enough to design and implement the next generation of itself, it will develop a run-away super intelligence, a singularity. But it’ll not. Why did Deep Mind stop Alpha Zero after a few days of training? Because it was smart enough to defeat the hitherto best chess engine of the planet StockFish? No, because even if they let it run a year longer, there will be no significant progress. After a stable learning equilibrium is reached, to become smarter, the AI need to increase its capacity, its connections and parameters. But to train a larger network, it will need more data, more time and energy. Exponentially, if there is no breakthrough in learning heuristic. As the search space expanded exponentially, there is no way the same old learning heuristic can adequately explore the new space with guaranteed success. It must experiment with different designs, spawning new individuals, accept loss and death. It must evolve! Yes, it might do it faster then the humans did, but there will be no super intelligence over night. The process will probably create a sea of different kinds of intelligence, each is better in certain domains but none can be better in all domains.
