You use vastly fewer things than I do on my daily driver. I'm not complaining about stability. I still maintain windows boxes for work and yes I get uptimes measured in years. In fact I used to be a windows fanboy.

The issue is really that the front end experience has gone to shit and that windows boxes are inherently zero day hackable at random. With gaming there's memory leaks out the ass. When doing updates windows regularly ignores and resets settings. Not everyone wants to use defaults and not everyone has time to edit group policy settings every time there's a changes. Your IT team is definitely 100% debloating your system before imaging.

I'm over here coding, running vms, setting up ssh tunnels, streaming, recording video, playing music, doing teleconferencing and all manner of other nonsense. So yes my standards are a little out there.

But frankly I don't think windows should be able to be HIPAA certified because I don't believe it's possible to secure it. And trust me that's my job.

The workers at my job that use Chromebooks are by far the most secure in our entire IT stack.

Yeah, the justification is sensible to take land from organisations under your jurisdictions, that are part of your society, not civilizations that were there before you landed from another continent.

But the US has a mentality of "our jurisdiction is infinite", so I'm not surprised they'd do that.

> some air-gapped servers can be connected to from a private "trusted" network

Erm ... mate....

A device is either air-gapped or it isn't. The clue is kinda in the name.

Yes, I know gov/mil networks use data-diodes, but that's a different kettle of very expensive fish which is certified to EAL6/7.

For everyone else, air-gapped means what it says on the tin.

Pseudo air-gapping via firewall rules is not air-gapping, its called writing ACLs.

Every time Linux gets brought up, there's always somebody who says "I've had no issues ever!"

Good for you - but it doesn't take super-exotic hardware at all to run into problems. Having problems doesn't make your hardware exotic. I tried running Linux a decade ago and none of them would have Wifi because they had Broadcom cards without some patching and package installs on Ubuntu which didn't come with the packages needed on the ISO. I tried running Linux again only to find that I couldn't use Wayland on my GTX 1050 because NVIDIA.

That means I have hardware that doesn't run well on Linux, not that I have exotic hardware.

Edit: Also I forget to mention that sleep/hibernate is seemingly always broken whenever I talk to people about Linux. All the time. They don't have exotic hardware.
"once-in-a-lifetime" for an individual is more than 100 million (current US population divided into roughly 3 generations) times in aggregate over the course of a given generation (again, roughly speaking).

What fraction of those is an acceptable death/disability rate as compared with the rate of drunk-driver caused fatalities and disability?
I’m down on the terminology and framing. Most of what you wrote is not about that.

She does not carefully say she possibly was not that depressed. At no point did she think how would [clinically] depressed people feel with this written and equivocating her experience with theirs.

I wrote in a sibling reply, there would likely be universal negative response if she said she had [high level] autism [for a few months] and did stuff to fix it. Which would be the correct response.

> Denbeaux added: “The war is over. How can you detain enemy combatants when there’s no combat going on?”

The ignorance of History is staggering. Don't they know that it's a thing to detain enemy combatants even when the conflict is finished? Ever heard of a small, tiny conflict that happened in the 20th century called WW2? German prisoners stayed for years after the year in several countries to work for free, before they were allowed to return home. And among the unlucky ones who were imprisoned in the East (USSR), most of them never came back.
I don't think the URSS had a Customer XP department. Or the government in general for that matter.
At this point I've spent dozens of hours trying to fix sleep/hibernate on this laptop without success, it's a dell xps 9500, doesn't feel like it should be considered super obscure hardware.

EU has been mostly neutral on US-Sino competition so US using Lithuania to insert/forward US foreign policy to undermine the bloc and rewarding Lithuanian accordingly. Right now it's trying to elevate TW global presence. It's old game US plays with baltic states who require NATO (read US) protection against Russia.

PRC is building indigenous laser for semi anyway, Lithuanian laser was never in the running. Lithuania actually exports more to PRC than vice versa. Entire point of them being first to withdrawal from 17+1 was because PRC underdelivered on east EU trade/investments.

Unlike west EU, Lithuania has little to lose and much more to gain supporting US interests. On the flip side, major EU powers low key do not like idea that small baltic states like Lithuania has this much influence and will act accordingly. There history of transatlantic drama with US using desperate security partners to undermine EU policy in general.
The actionable advice for me was just "you have permission to sleep 8 hours, it isn't a waste of your life. No animal escapes the need to sleep, and thinking you can 'game the system' by robbing yourself of sleep night after night is the height of arrogance."

I never had any problem sleeping, I just wouldn't let myself do it enough.
I don't know how helpful a deliberate misunderstanding of the current economic model is to this conversation.

Capitalism doesn't forbid sensible regulation, it just hasn't happened as politicians don't really understand the space.

Not really, IMO. Knowing the actors in a scenario often illuminates more than the declared intentions & motivations. I can't help but refer to MS's embracing Linux, for example.
You seriously made all this in half an hour?
RISC-C compressed instructions cannot be compared to CISC variable length instructions. The instruction boundaries are easy to determine in parallel for multiple decoders. Something which is hard for e.g. x86. Compressed instructions don’t have arbitrary length. It is two instructions fitted in a 32-bit word.

Decompression is part of the instruction decoding itself. It only requires a minuscule 400 logical gates to do.

In fact RISC-V is very well designed for doing out-of-order execution of multiple instructions as instructions have been specifically designed to share as little state as possible. No status registers or conditional execution bits. Thus most instructions can run in separate pipelines without influencing each other.

I don't disagree. "There is currently a high risk of flooding. Out of an abundance of caution we have shut down our subway system.". It's the appropriate amount of caution, but that phrase just grinds my gears. It makes the user sound like they want to overemphasize the fact, like saying "Oh we care soooo much." (without any sarcasm)
Classic CISC processors like the VAX had lots of memory to memory instructions complex looping constructs etc. Special ops that are register to register aren't anti-RISC.
OK, I guess that's technically understandable and all, but in this case I hope they understand their chart is completely and utterly unusable now.
Migrate Chrome Extensions to Manifest V3
Yeah, I retried it directly connecting a mouse to my Note Air and it's better than I remember. I think before I tried a screen sharing app with it connected to a PC and maybe that's why I thought it was so bad.
Same. As a long time team lead/manager I always take the blame when things go wrong and give credit to individuals other than myself when things go right.

Someone constantly using "I" like they worked in a vacuum, and didn't play nice with their team is a bigger red flag for me.

The important piece in the interview is can they answer in detail the rest of the questions.
I believe in this context, the “gifts” are primarily staple goods that people need to survive. So, reciprocal balance takes on a level of urgency when one party finds themself in need.

There were many other CPUs with the same or lower power draw.

The advantage of ARM has always been the cost. For given requirements of performance and power draw, you could find much cheaper ARM CPUs than the existing alternatives.

This happened because there were many competing ARM CPU vendors.

Motorola could give you a PowerPC CPU with the same or better performance and power draw, but they were not willing to lower their prices, falsely believing that there are no alternatives.

Therefore everybody abandoned the other CPU architectures and switched to the cheaper ARM solutions.
Here's the source data I used (only Sweden): https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subje...

You don't even need to make any calculations really, just take a quick look at the table to see that the death rate was unusually low 2019 and only slightly high in 2020 (Edit: sorry, almost compensated by 2019's low numbers, not completely). And if you go back in time, you can see that in fact every single year between 1999-2012 had a higher mortality rate than 2020.
Kind of like 90% of the problems on our production servers at work over the last ten years have been related to security software installed on them.

> who would seamlessly hand-off their visually-designed XAML to the implementation engs for data-binding and whatnot.

true, that was a wrong approach for LoB apps. But this is a fairly typical for workflow what happens with end user web apps nowadays. People use something like Figma + React instead of Bend + WPF.

Maybe MS assumed that WPF would be commonly used for end user software. Instead the web invaded the desktop in the form of electron.
I think making that choice would be fine, and I agree with it for most situations. Drugs, to me, are primarily a tool. Yes some of them can be quite enjoyable but I don't think it's necessarily appropriate to use them in that way all the time (recreationally). Personally I do think its okay to use recreationally sometimes, though recreational doses generally aren't conducive to normal societal functions.

It seems likely that we agree on most points, so I apologise for assuming the opposite.

The moralization of drug use has been used as an excuse to ban substances, oppress communities, and has harmed research, so it makes me upset when I see the view espoused. While I think its okay to hold that view, it shouldn't be forced on others. Just like religion.

Side note: alcohol is included in my definition of drugs, along with caffeine.
I agree with your comment. To be snarky though — considering how widely ad blocking and piracy are discussed and used on HN. One may assume HN would find it important to pirate all developer apps too.
> However Haaretz routinely publishes opinions against the editorial line

NYT also has Bret Stephens , up until recently Bari Weiss and I assume there are a few more centrists? Haaretz tries to challenge its readers with opinions from the other spectrum I'd agree with that. But still, every Israel knows it's a left wing and recently a borderline anti Zionist newspaper ( I don't think Haaretz themselves will dispute this. Their writers acknowledge anti Zionism repeatedly).
The fact it has an anti Zionist line, which basically goes against the idea of the country itself, makes it a very niche product.
Also let's not forget the left is now in power in the U.S, and even on a bad day it gets almost 50% of the vote. In Israel what Haaretz would call left is 5%-10% of the votes (Meretz and thats pretty much it).
Life.

Right?

Is Life a bad word? No. It's a beautiful word. Does it contain the good, the bad and the ugly? Of course.

Is Capitalism a bad word? No. It's a beautiful idea, and it works significantly better than anything else humans have ever been able to think of on a mass-scale. Does it contain the good the bad and the ugly? Sure.

Good suggestion. Added it to the README as an optional addition.
The port I had in mind is this one [1], and the use case is to make it possible to run 3D accelerated Linux guests on macOS hosts. I may have wrongly believed that it would be useful for macOS guests.

This is one reason I hope it doesn't pass. This kind of big government overreach has me against it. I'm all for the stuff in there for environmental concerns. The bill probably needs to be broken up into 4 or 5 bills so these gotchas in there get more scrutiny. It also sets up more government monitoring. Why shouldn't there be a camera and biomonitors streaming data back to Big Brother and Tesla (heartate, breathing rate, how dry your mouth is, rectal tightness) as well?
The app seem to be working fine to me on Firefox. Which feature not available on Firefox? I just did some basic editing in Firefox and all features I tried (haven't tried them all) seem working. Even motion tracking works.
Nope. This is a typical categorical fallacy: nobody can ever truly achieve the ideal, therefore everyone is equally flawed and we should stop judging others.

Do people often lack self-awareness and accuse others of things for which they are equally culpable? Sure. But objective reality does, in fact, exist and therefore it is possible to identify objective standards and judge people according to their performance along them.
Using a public VPN is almost guaranteed to flag your logins as suspicious at all of the big tech companies.

If anyone wants to see how intent big tech is on tying your profiles back to personally identifiable information, connect to a VPN and try to create new accounts on various services. It's basically impossible without a non-VOIP phone number. If you manage to get an email address, big sites like Facebook and Twitter will instantly lock your account and require SMS verification.

Big tech discriminates against anyone that doesn't have enough money to own a phone.
Obviously, that's what the shims are for.

Delta: A syntax-highlighting pager for Git, diff, and grep output
That is nonsense. We can do "unlimited" detail, by just-in-time generating details on observation and extrapolating from some mathematical deterministic constants tail.
Not everything that can be seen, needs space- lots of it can be reproduced with formulas just in time on observation.

The only observable thing would be a "detail snap" and the same "high-res" details were the same hash is produced. Which could be avoided by hashing in the observer, at some level of detail.
I will say that avoiding "builder culture" probably saved my job. I joined a company that had migrated from an open source identity management solution to a homegrown one and it had ran perfectly well in production for many years but was getting creaky and didn't offer the features that were needed for a SaaS offering. VPs gave me the option of determining whether we migrated to an identity vendor or built our own. I've contributed code to popular OIDC implementations on GitHub, I've written code in widely used open source JWT libraries and I felt extremely comfortable working in that space so my inclination was towards building.

The problem was to staff a quality engineering team was going to cost 5x the yearly price of the most expensive service and hiring other people in that space was proving to be very difficult and we didn't have time to take a year to build it and then start migration

In the end I chose to go with a vendor and a smaller team to support a migration. We migrated in less than 6 months and a year later we ended up getting contacted by law enforcement about some activity that was happening our system. The auditing system on the vendors side allowed us to quickly diagnose what exactly had happened and let us give data to folks who needed it.

Had that been our homegrown system, it would've been 100% an unmitigated disaster that took days to unravel. Had we decided to build it ourselves, there's no way we could've hit production as quickly as we did.
So I have also had this happen to me in the past which was one of the reasons I abandoned gmail completely.

>What’s interesting about debugging this is that it actually is much easier to debug than a Linux system. Why? Because there is only one program in question. You aren’t whipping out lsof to figure out what process is spewing out crap connections or which process didn’t have a proper log rotation setup and prevented you from SSHing into the instance. [...] Unikernels are so much easier to debug than normal Linux systems.

I have no strong opinion either way but just to add counterpoint from Bryan Cantrill's 2016 article[1]:

>[...] the most profound reason that unikernels are unfit for production — and the reason that (to me, anyway) strikes unikernels through the heart when it comes to deploying anything real in production: Unikernels are entirely undebuggable. There are no processes, so of course there is no ps, no htop, no strace — but there is also no netstat, no tcpdump, no ping! And these are just the crude, decades-old tools. There is certainly nothing modern like DTrace or MDB. From a debugging perspective, to say this is primitive understates it: this isn’t paleolithic — it is precambrian. As one who has spent my career developing production systems and the tooling to debug them, I find the implicit denial of debugging production systems to be galling, and symptomatic of a deeper malaise among unikernel proponents: total lack of operational empathy. Production problems are simply hand-waved away — services are just to be restarted when they misbehave.

And a previous 2018 HN subthread had differing opinions on debugging unikernels: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17260604
