Containerisation already goes a way towards this, each executable is bundled with what it needs and nothing else. And the next step is one app per hardware, where you have maybe a minimal stripped OS that just launches your app, effectively a container in hardware. I think Google does this a fair amount.

The jump from this to RTOS is large, though. The abstractions are different. The limitations are different. You probably need to rewrite anything you need. And what do you gain? Mostly only predictable latency, and the ability to run on very limited (but cheap) hardware. Which you need why?
Super interesting idea. All my support.
What other suggestions do you have for what "we" could do? China won't do anything, neither will India or Russia, by the way. So what are we doing? It'll boil down to effectively taxing companies and people. I skipped ahead a few steps in the discussion. Sorry for spoiling it.
> As an example, a recruiter is less likely to search "software engineer" (too many hits), but rather might search "Python"

Also, some recruiters are so bone-headed that you can list 5 programming languages in your work experience, and they will drop you because you don't have any 'development experience' or whatever term they received from their client.
I feel email could really do with disruption.

Least of all: require escrow-held-micro-payment to send an email to some location. If the item is marked as spam, the sender loses their money (perhaps to the spam-filter maintainer).

Both Starship and Starlink are extremely risky, "bet the company" scale projects. Then making Starlink dependent on precise timing of Starship just compounds the risk.

Raptor problems aren't even what most people would have guessed are the biggest risk, there are several things about Starship that could be considered harder. They mentioned the tile problem but there's also catching the booster, re-entry, reliably doing the flip maneuver, weight gain, etc.
It looks to me like it's generated from the existing texinfo docs, so I don't think maintaining it will be a large burden.

Ask HN: Has Google search become quantitatively worse?
I used to have better time googling in the past. I struggle to find things I remember finding in the past using google. I think I might be stuck in some old habits of googling and I've lost touch with modern google.

For example, google seems to want full sentences instead of just keywords now. "How do I do X?" seems to get me better(?) results then "X + some relevant keyword". But I can't seem to get past this "most popular responses" google things I need. I do appreciate youtube videos marked at certain times but watching video isn't always what I want to do.
Tangentially, has youtube search been integrated to youtube search or something now? I used to be able to search obscure music in youtube. "Sal dulu a" would both recommend "Sal dulu antasma" and list it but now unless i search for that particularly, it doesn't show up.

Any pro tips on how to google (or use search engines) like a modern human would be appreciated. Or modern version of google dorking (which also seems to not work like it used to for me). Thank you.
> The article mentions it’s been warming since 1900 which is a scant decade after industrialization began

The industrial revolution is generally dated from 1760, which is...somewhat more than a decade before 1900.
Your wage should also be related to how much work you have to put in. I would expect more money if I was going to work 10 hours a day than 8. And I consider commuting time similar to work time. So, given two otherwise equal job offers, one of which requires a 2 hour commute and one which requires no commute, for me the decision is an extremely easy one to prefer the latter. Effectively, the latter is paying me much more per hour of labor.
This book is phenomenal and it also charts why Bob Mercer has become so dangerous to American democracy, so quickly - because after acquiring SCL group (the umbrella for Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ, who worked with Trump/Bannon/Brexit), he has a cognitive warfare firm that’s essentially funded ad infinitum by Renaissance Tech. constant money machine.

The Ai solved markets from Renaissance have given one of their top members effectively infinite influence over the political landscape, because he doesn’t need to do anything anymore to keep the AÍ printing machine going.

> And so the introduction of the mouse in the mid-1980s was the last major innovation in the computer industry.

I think he missed the whole touchscreen thing, particularly multi-touch, not to mention compass, accelerometer, etc. Plenty of software makes use of these, and is either unusable, or just cumbersome without them.
> Right now, in this very thread I see no such discussion.

Look at the first comment you replied to. It's about how Apple restricts how you can browse the web for user lock in but has convinced people it is for the sake of their battery.

> Worse than what?

Worse than Pixels, Android One devices, and ChromeOS devices currently. There are several open source focused devices in the pipeline that have better security design than iOS devices as well but are not yet ready.

> That I am stupid and am duped by marketing.

I did not say you are stupid. I said that people are duped by marketing, and I gave examples. I even pointed out that technologists can be duped, and they are smart in the field they were duped in. Apple's marketing department is smart, and Apple's other employees are smart for supporting their efforts, though when they get caught parroting marketing talking points that are clearly false, it can be embarrassing.
For those who have worked around and at Stripe for the past decade, this is not a surprise. Stripe, and especially the founders, have a quite a poor reputation for screwing over people in and around their orbit.
> There is no good reason to think that they have, and this study does not at all contravene, or even call into question, the consensus on the causes of warming.

From the article:

> “Climate simulations generally do not reproduce this kind of warming in the Arctic Ocean, meaning there’s an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms driving Atlantification,” said Tommaso. “We rely on these simulations to project future climate change, but the lack of any signs of an early warming in the Arctic Ocean is a missing piece of the puzzle.”

I'd generally encourage people to be skeptical of everything, but I'd call this a really good reason to be skeptical.
Sequoia Capital’s Crypto Frenzy Intensifies with Three New Deals
You don't understand how valuable data is to companies like Meta etc.

Things like Giphy are amazing data builders. Think of all the cookies that get placed around the web for FB to use, when a giphy is embeded on a website.

Even the types of Giphy's people use, are useful data points.
Not to sound too obvious, but that is precisely the current state that is also ever increasing. As with seemingly most things, we are witnessing a reemergence of a system similar to what existed before the American Revolution, the feudalistic, aristocratic, monarchical system where you must show fealty to your vassal lord corporation.

Even the subject supposed effort to prevent monopolization is not understanding the underlying issue, that competition (a form of freedom) has for all intents and purposes been totally subverted because rather than monopolizing an industry or sector, today's monopolists/cartels realized they should just totally supplant the whole market so people have no choice but to kiss their royal ring. That is something that has effectively been accomplished and society may just have not understood yet what's going on, or likely those who would be expected to ward this off were also totally compromised and corrupted ($$$).

What we need is reinstatement of conditions that lead to are allow competition. That may take on several different forms, e.g., (not to pick on Apple, but to use a recent example) that Apple must provide the same access to core integration (based on reasonable technical specifications anyone can meet) that AirTags utilize to competitors like Tile, including the whole apple device network (AirTags are real reason that SARS-CoV-2 "contact tracing" was snuck in to save us all, btw). Another example; Apple and Google, may not block or ban any user or any app that meets its general and public technical specifications and are not a violation of law and human rights like free expression, whether out vassal lord corporations like what users have to say or if an app is a competitor or does something they don't like or not. The alternative should simply be that Apple and Google can just build their own internet if they wish to violate people's rights on the public internet and communications … at the very least.
This doesn’t seem like an apt comparison. Using the wrong tool for the job is expensive forever; learning a tough language pays dividends forever.
> The acquisition was announced 18 months ago and the regulators have only just announced that there's a problem. That's about how long it takes to make a decision like this.

It's about as long as it takes to figure out that Facebook didn't grease enough palms in order to let this pass muster, and won't be shelling out any more, so they're going to make it public, in the hopes it will spur Facebook to reconsider.

This is as predictable as the dance a company does when they have to fire an executive for shameful behavior, and the resulting PR to-do list dealing with the press and investors.
I suppose it's possible for people without much of a public presence to hide their appearance on the web. Though many of us have photos plastered all over the place--and I'm not talking Facebook/Instagram but also conference presentations, etc. But, as you say, they're eventually going to be meeting live--whether virtually or physically.
Show HN: Trunk – One linter to run them all
Hi, I am the author of OpenFaaS and the newer edge version called "faasd". I'd like to know whether you've consider running functions at the edge or on-premises and whether this workflow with GitHub Actions + GHCR would be useful to you?
Not related, but browsing through this, I suddenly
realized how to use termux-emacs with touchscreen.

No special keyboard layout with arrow keys anymore.
No pecking character-per-character those tiny keys.

I would consider accepting Nobel-prize for this
discovery.
Can easily imagine yearly subscription becoming $120 and monthly something like $29.
Maybe twitter can't make (more) money. Email or Instant messagers don't make money, but they are essential protocols. I think any change to its free model will instantly change its character so much that it will lose relevance and drive people to simpler open source solutions.
I have capslock configured to act as control when held down, and as escape when tapped. Best thing since sliced bread.
I've witness that. A coworker brought his ergo keyboard to a Redhat class/lab/exam. The instructor said if that thing was still on the computer when he had to configure them for the lab exams that he would fail. I imagine by now they have fully automated the lab setup so the keyboard doesn't matter but it did at one point.
When will people like you begin to realize how foolish you sound?
Two things are different now:

1. commercialization. Most properties that people engage in are monetized and thus algorithmically manipulated.

2. things were smaller. communities were smaller and had little spill-over into other areas. What someone said on some forum wouldn't get picked up by media[1] to amplify whatever it was.

One approach I've still never seen is native browser support for Python - something like what Google's Dart team did with Dartium.

Of course that means your site would be inaccessible to anyone with a normal browser so you couldn't run it in production... but were you really ever going to run something like this in a production environment anyways?
They should absolutely get Tom Hardy to play Jim Simons. Who to play De Kapitein, then?

Hi! I’m one of the co-founders of Trunk. Trunk Check is the first tool in the toolbox we're building to make scalable, productive repos possible out of the box. Modern repositories include many technologies, each with its own set of linters. With 30+ linters and counting, Trunk makes it dead-simple to identify, install, configure, and run the right linters, static analyzers, and formatters for all your repos. Use it on mac or linux from the command line, our vscode extension, or on CI. We’re on the thread so please ask any questions. We’d love to get feedback from the HN crowd. TYVM!
If the photos are a big concern then why not use an avatar? They seem to be somewhat popular these days.
> And the way you look affects hiring anyway - at some point you'll have to talk to someone over video or in person.

The problem is that you probably won't get that far if an employer doesn't like the color of your skin, your gender, that you're in a wheelchair, etc. Your resume will probably go in the trash as soon as they see your photo.

But if you can at least get into an interview, you have an opportunity to sell yourself as a candidate.
> "Everything bad is caused by government regulations!"

Who said that? I mentioned two things that are bad because of regulations. But that doesn't mean that regulation is to blame for everything that's bad. Eg try as they may, regulation isn't what's keeping me from running 100m in 10s.

> Essentially they're screwed up because American union power was destroyed by oligarchs and blue collar workers subsequently lost political representation.

Huh? American auto union just got the fisc to pay them about four thousand dollars per electric car they make. I'm not sure how they lost political representation.
They already have a subscription model for this: Twitter Blue https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2021/introduci...

It enhances the experience on Twitter for those that desire more features: a thread feature (which is /really/ nice IMHO), ability to cancel tweets after send, more color themes and customizable icons, etc.

The Twitter "as we know it" will likely always remain free and ad-driven, but if you want an enhanced experience, you're going to have to pay for it. And that's fine by me.
Maybe only some images get flagged with the metadata that say that they work with Twitter, and OpenSea pays Twitter a 10% cut of any works-with-Twitter image rights they sell?
You’re absolutely right about Google but, I think, it’s not necessarily true for Twitter. Their social graph is so important that it wouldn’t make sense for any one person to go to a free Twitter clone.

And everybody moving at roughly the same time is probably an insurmountable coordination problem.
...Twitter has a monopoly?

Which git GUI do you recommend? The one in VSCode I find even more confusing than the CLI.

I do agree with you that some workflows are just easier with a GUI, since I used to use TortoiseSVN and it was much nicer for diffing two commits than the CLI is. But I haven't really dug into git GUIs.

Yep. They don't even need to go to subscription model to be profitable. Keep on doing what they're doing, maybe trim the employee headcount to something more reasonable, and continue to enjoy modest - as in, unsexy but consistent - year-over-year ad revenue gains.
men in general will continue to be treated this way, until men in general demonstrate that their perspective has changed.

Search "john wayne racist statement". He made a quote in a 1978 playboy article that is exactly what you are saying.

You even have the 'not everyone' and 'one of the good ones' type statements thrown in that are cliches of things racists say.

I am indeed calling out a gigantic swath of people. But that in itself isn't an example of bigotry.

Yeah it is, it is the definition of bigotry.

The parent commenter asserted their feeling that

'The parent commenter'? That was you.

All this is trying to walk back statements that obviously don't hold up if you swap out any other demographic.

Post all this stuff somewhere else and leave out the name of any demographic and see how it is received.

It is literally taking a demographic that people are born into and saying they deserve to be treated with less respect than other people not in that group.
Sort-of. If they legalised construction in the area, many of those suburbs would turn into cities.
I got two written job offers, which I refused, and almost got a third.

Main issues:

- wrong level offered (e.g. sub-director vs director) despite initial agreement;

- lowball salary offer (~30% less of what I stated I wanted to even start interviewing for the job, and ~20% less of what I was making at my then-current job)

- confusing interview process (too many things to even list them here)

- lack of preparation for the interviewers (e.g. didn't read my resume, wasn't aware of who else interviewed me and on which topics, didn't ask me questions relevant to the position, etc)
I'm not familiar w/the details of the Cortex-Ms -- do any of them support SMT/multicore? Does Hubris have a scheduler which can support a multithreaded/core cpu?
> If Twitter was worth paying for, they wouldn't have used an ad-supported model to begin with

Twitter doesn’t cost $0 because no one thinks it’s worth paying for (demand side), it’s because if they did charge they’d be replaced by someone who didn’t (too much potential supply).
Here a few guides that I used in the past that helps me to understand and how to set up for Calibre-Web to work with Docker.

I have a guide for the Docker with local filesystem that helps me to make it work[1],[2]. I remember that Docker is particular with file path and you have to use the Docker file path convention, they uses forward slashes instead backslashes like Windows.

I wonder about youtube - I see people say it still loses money though I don't know if that's true, but if it is, then is it a successful business? It's an amazing feat no doubt, but other than that I don't know what to make of it as a business or a force in the world.
A bit terrifying that your other comment which was pointing out this "just asking questions" behavior[0] was immediately flagged and removed.

It's wild to me that a group of people that tends to be educated, intellectual, and curious about complex systems instantly starts to lose it's collective mind when faced with an existential risk. It feels like living in a Lovecraft story where the only response to horror is madness.

I definitely didn't mean it as a feature request - blobs aren't actually that common in embedded (esp32 and some motor driver libraries are the most common exceptions), so I don't think it's important for adoption. In fact, not supporting it enables future ergonomics improvements and code sharing between tasks, so I appreciate that it's not a driving factor in the design.
DataSpell – A Brand New IDE for Data Scientists Using Python and R
Thanks for the idea! We used https://ipapi.com/ at the start to render different page content based on the country of the visitor. But like the idea of making this clearer on the homepage in general, because an ip address lookup might not be accurate and hard if there is no way for the user to influence / change the language/location.
I guess the question I'd ask here is: why does it matter that Chromium has massive market share?

The usual answer I see is along the lines of "because Google is too big, has too much control". To reiterate the original argument in this thread: Chromium being open source makes this a hard sell.

Maybe there's another reason I've missed, though!
Since learning about reset --hard, I need about 80% less of that.
They could also boost profits by lowering their OpEx. I genuinely don’t know why they need to spend a billion dollars a quarter for a product that really doesn’t change that much and isn’t massively complex.
I would not entrust more than 10% of a portfolio to crypto, especially if its horizon is over a decade out.
> Tramiel never understood or invested in growing a platform or growing, expanding, intercompatible product line. Each Commodore machine under his watch was a brand new machine, not compatible with the others except for maybe a few peripherals.

But, iirc, very very very few computer manufacturers prioritized compatibility in that way in those days though, and for good reason, it would have be stupid expensive. Some manufacturers got around the problem (Commodore did this as a matter of fact) by incorporating all or part of the previous line in the new machines and enabling compatibility modes.
Open a brokerage account and put small amounts into whole market index funds each pay period. That way you are nearly guaranteed to have something in there in 10-15 years. There's really no way to know if BTC will be worth 0 or 100k/coin in that time period.
On what they do? Absolutely.

If you combine all of the different 'social media' platforms together into a single category? No.
Not an accident. Cliff was influenced by QNX, Minix, L3 and L4 in his design (specifically, QNX proxies directly inspired Hubris notifications). And for me personally, QNX -- both the technology and the company -- played an outsized role in my own career, having worked there for two summers while an undergraduate.[0] (And even though it's been over 20 years since he passed, just recalling the great technology and people there makes me miss the late Dan Hildebrand[1] who had a singular influence on me, as well as so many others.)

Sorry, there were two strands of argument I was replying to. That might have gotten a bit confused.

The first was about real GDP, and natural incentives vs legal requirements.

The second was about money supply vs worrying about keeping money in the local economies.
You can, if you take steps to containerize the postgres processes. This can be done with NixOS's nixos-container, or any other container runtimes including Docker. nixos-container is easy to use if you already use NixOS.

This separation of concerns is one of things I like about Nix when compared to something like Docker. For instance, if you use the Docker image format for packaging, then you're also forced to buy into its specific sandboxing model. With Nix, you can choose to run applications the way you see fit.
