Yeah, I think it's telling that folks here assumed I meant "give daily feedback" as in "tell your boss what you're up to".

It's probably a lot more effective to keep your team up to date on what you're doing, than it is to keep your boss up to date on what you're doing, and that's where I was focusing.

And yeah, while I did say "ship functionality", you're right, the real value is producing something you can show users. I prefer that ends up being code, because otherwise users are hard to pin down, but it doesn't have to be.

Finally yes, people should do as they wish, but with the understanding that if the thing they'd prefer to work on isn't the thing the team they're working on needs, that the team should be able to go find someone who does want to do the thing the team needs. It's not really fair to drag a team down because one person isn't having fun.
It really doesn’t seem like they are confusing microservices, I’m not sure what makes you think that.
I don't think "parroting" is very charitable. What I think is going on is that we have a bunch of people who are seeing the internet driven by ads that are only a synthesis of print ads and TV commercials. The fact that the medium of advertising (and business itself, evidenced by all the people who say that's the only way businesses can be run anymore) resembles the past so much means the value of participating in it at all for Computer Science and nerdly interests in general is contained on the backend, in the surveillance. I think the resistance to this (not to mention the suit against Google to prevent them from eliminating third-party cookies from Chrome) is because advertising becomes boring without the PII shenanigans. If you can't slice and dice people's activities into predictions about what they're going to click on if not buy, then what did I acquire these student loans for, to write HTML and JavaScript like a schmoe?

Of course reality is more particularized and varied, but in the big picture I think GDPR and other threats to surveillance advertising is treated as an existential threat to an entire class of skills, skills that can buy houses.
Kinda makes you wonder what the relative toxicity of a Switch cartridge is. Some labcoat at Nintendo probably ran the number for this one on the weekend.

Could this be done by a drone that flies around the structure once a week, month, etc - and that footage could be then reviewed? It could be a combo of video and still photos taken in the same approximate location on a routine basis.
I’ve always laughed at this idea that automation will take all our jobs. If it were true, farm automation would have left all of us unemployed at least a century ago. Most humans used to barely survive trying to eke food out of the earth. Yet somehow there’s not mass unemployment even though now a small fraction of the population is in agriculture.
We're human beings. For the best of us, 90% of the conversations and thoughts we have are junk and most of us are worse than that.

Always has been. Probably always will be.

Expecting any internet community to put out more than 10% of good content is an exercise in futility. The only reason why it seemed so much more engrossing and interesting when you arrived on the scene is that you had not acclimated to the room yet, and you were consuming the best, easiest to acquire thought morsels that the community had scrounged out of the trough and recycled until it could stand the test of time within that community.

Then, once you have consumed that bit of the best, you think the rest would be like that as well but instead you find yourself in a room full of people who all know the same things and think similar thoughts, and you season along with them, getting the better secondary and tertiary thought morsels, and maybe contributing some yourself. And then, finally, you see bright fresh faces coming in, following the same trail you followed, coming to the same wrong conclusions you came to, and you think, "There goes the neighborhood" and tell yourself how good it used to be when you were ignorant and didn't know any better.

Eventually you reach the next point, which is realizing that it was always like this. You just didn't know any better. Now you know better, and you also know there is nothing you can do about it. You can stay and help others enjoy their Halcyon days, or you can flee in search of greener pastures.

Suffice it to say, the internet has always been terrible and it has always been great, because it's full of people.
Go is about getting things done. I think it's interesting to HN because it is enough engineering to solve a problem, and no more.
I think the biggest feature of golang is the community process that considers change slowly, in contrast to the JS ecosystem, that's a distinct feature.

It may be only me who thinks this but, it seems like gov always rests on the side of self-interest. If it hurts the bottom line for America it just gets down-played and treated as a nesessary evil.

How does one prove global warming is based on humans and isnt a natural phenomenon?
Then claim that the proof is so substantial/wide spread that its obvious to everyone involved. They would _need_ to know of wrong doing to be guilty of turning a blind eye/disinformation to it, right?

FWIW, I do think we (humans) are the cause of the earth warming up and, those with the biggest part at play should be held accountable for their actions.
They just said why it's important to explicitly track which instance is in effect and newtypes do that.
I want to be hopeful about the future, but in the large there are too many negative trends. What I've learned is to be hopeful and optimistic about the things I can change. Just about to go watch an episode of TNG. Here's hoping that the long run is better than our current trajectory. Cheers!
It's hard to understand if that is a good or bad profile the way the information is displayed. If you normalize the nutrient by the calories (2000 calories / 158 calories) then it is high in all of the listed nutrients except folate. But still, this is a minority of the vitamins and minerals you need and it is very low in the rest. So it's not an impressive nutrient profile that you would see from a leafy green, an egg yolk, or liver. Here's a visualization: https://eatnutrients.com/sources/sr28/20071

That's before getting into much more complicated issues around digestibility and nutrient binding making some nutrients unavailable. Suffice to say, wheat berries are not a food that humans ever ate when they grew grains: they always performed processing to turn wheat into bread, etc for good reason. It would make more sense to look at the nutrition of a particular whole wheat bread, etc.
You can catch it more than once and you are contagious before you’d reasonably have the knowledge to test. Now you’ve spread it when you didn’t have to.
> if you're attempting to collect on debt you can't verify was agreed to by the person you're pursuing, damages are substantial (say, $1M per occurance)

Congratulations, you just outlawed uncollateralised lending to everyone but the super rich.

The core idea is sound. But link the payout to actual costs and damages.
The British should try to coax Softbank into doing an ARM IPO and work to build up a more significant native semiconductor ecosystem around the company. It might be Britain's last chance at that, a company like ARM doesn't come around very often and you need something integral like that to build around as a core. The US should tandem with Britain on that (investment, political support, whatever is needed), given the close nature of the allied relationship (and since if the US can't own it the next best thing might be for Britain to continue to indefinitely).
Typically when people were using Usenet and email, they weren't on the Internet proper but rather connecting to a node (often via a terminal emulator over dialup) that often itself got batch updates via dialup using UUCP etc. Even when people started using their dialup services (AOL, Compuserve etc) as web gateways they often weren't technically on the Internet but rather just the WWW subset of it. When people started dialing in to ISPs and getting cable/DSL modems then they were on the Internet as they technically had access to all of its facilities and could connect to any other node on it. So there was a legitimate reason for not calling most of the earlier commercial/hobbyist services the Internet as they were just giving you glimpses at parts of it often without technically being on it.

Maybe I'm just oldskool but I immediately want to get the whole dev && ops team on board to lower this number! Then the ultimate bragging rights can begin. What doesn't sound better than we run a multi-billion company on just these 5 machines. Perhaps more realistically 200k/4k ... 50 :)
> By the way, I think it is sad that I can't even make a comment on Hacker News about this article, because I've been banned. When someone else posts my articles there, many people want to read them, but when I post them, they are blog spam.

Apple and Samsung are (primarily) hardware companies, whereas Google is an advertiser. If your income depends on hardware sales, longevity/reliability is an important factor for your long-term brand reputation that you can’t afford to sacrifice.

Google-branded phones are essentially just another avenue for them to push Google Play Services, one where they can guarantee the platform experience they envision developing vanilla Android. I think they also serve as reference hardware, but the custom tensor chip on the most recent pixels sorta eschews that… unless they are pushing the idea of putting a TPU on Android phones.

Its similar to why NVIDIA(designer/manufacturer) doesn’t offer as good customer service or warranty on their graphics cards as EVGA (hardware/packager) does.
The "old internet" never went anywhere. I've been running my own websites since the 90s. My oldest website is now 20 years old as of today. People still use it. It doesn't get enormous amounts of traffic but it's built for a very specific community.

I keep it going to keep myself sharp on how the underlying plumbing of the internet works. I definitely don't think it will scale well, but that isn't the point.
I see it all the time, from combines to snowplows.

I use a netcat and similar TCP clients and a text-only browser on today's web and this works quite well for mine own purposes.

For 99% of what I do I use Firefox + NoScript and I think I'm relatively secure. My solution probably provides more functionality than yours, but it's still a hassle to use some sites. Other sites simply don't exist w/o JavaScript. The situation isn't getting better.

> That buyers often are properly warned about their inability to easily migrate if they invest in platform-specific microservices too heavily.
Propose a penalty that is sufficient to deter unscrupulous behavior but not so excessive as to cause lenders to flee the market entirely. If the penalty can be considered the cost of doing business, it is ineffective for its purpose. This is no different than applying KYC and a customer identification program to lending operations.
It is a setuid binary because it does sudo.

You cannot accomplish sudo without setuid. Note that sudo means gaining privilege in the current context, with all its environment (including inherited file descriptors, the process group, etc.), not doing a privileged action at a distance.

> also true for the /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1 helper it uses which is a setuid binary but doesn't really have to be

Try making it non-setuid and see what happens.

I'm thankful for my humble background. I grew up in the 80s in Europe in the lower working class. All I owned was a bicycle and a few sets of clothing, that's it.

Importantly, I was super happy. There existed already lots of stuff, but I was mostly ignorant about it. To me this has been a key insight. Apparently, I can have limited stuff and be just fine and happy, but as soon as you're exposed to new options, advertising as you say, trouble arises.

Two decades later, I learned that at least 4 years of that decade consisted of a truly deep economic crisis. Really? I had no idea. Couldn't tell. I find that hilarious to reflect on.

Things are a whole lot more complicated now. Not only are we bombarded with stuff, it's also a social effect. Even if you manage to be an anti-consumer, you still may have a wife/husband, and you can't deny your kids the stuff their peers have.

But still I try. I have stuff but when it comes to durable goods, I try to buy what I call "forever" stuff. My furniture will attend my funeral. Actually, it's such heavy oak that nobody can move it, so there's that.

My TV is 17 years old and delivers a perfect picture at my viewing distance. My friends laugh at me for not replacing it, but I'm not the mad man. They are. The picture is fine and I engage with what I'm viewing.

I actually had a time capsule moment. I buy very little, and the little I buy, I do online. So it had been a decade since I visited a mall. Just like young me, I was largely ignorant of what was out there.

Unsuspecting I enter a home decoration shop. My mind was blown. Endless shelfs of garbage where for most items I feel sorry for the person needing to produce this. Angry about the misuse of resources in a world with so many issues. And disdain for the clueless people buying these absolutely meaningless products that have zero utility or quality.

I went on to visit a BBQ shop. Apparently it's a science now, you can buy about 17 trillion accessories just to show others how very advanced you are at grilling meat.

This isn't wealth. It's a pathetic fetishization of meaningless objects. None that make you happy, it's always about the next one. Until you have so many that you can't even keep track of it anymore.

People sit in bullshit jobs so that they can afford garbage made by other people in bullshit jobs. Our economy is about keeping this circle going, regardless of meaning or happiness.

Stop buying garbage. Cook a fresh meal and enjoy it with your family. Then go for a walk in the forest regardless of the weather and leave your silly devices at home. Take it slow, make time for friends, stop ignoring your pet and read a good book.

That's happiness. It worked in the 80s, it works now.

They don’t need it. They have a perpetual license to the ISA, and they’re more than capable of designing their own chips.
You don't have Firefox or any browser? How are you posting? W3m? I would imagine that these have an enormous amount of bugs and security issues if parts of basic Linux programs are riddled enough with them by your standards.
These niche groups for enthusiasts, tilde club or mastodon or neocities or aral balkan or whatever can't ever bring the old internet back. It's not coming back, it's really not, you just have to accept that the world you used to love is gone and find some new way to do things. Why make a dollhouse of your past. You must move on!
Fashion Nova Is Fined for Suppressing Negative Reviews
I mean, most "unique view counters" store the users IP address, so that would be right out. I'm fairly sure even being aware of what complying with a complex legal documents implies constitutes enough of a complication that it's worth mentioning.

It is a complication, but I believe it's worded so that small companies and individuals are immune from its consequences.
No, it was very well known that there were high risks of death just because of weather, food, disease, etc and people did it in the face of that.

The only people who went were doing under the promises of vast riches or having literally no other options. There was no welfare to keep them alive in Europe so a 1/4 chance of dying on the journey as a deck hand with only a 1/100 chance of ever coming back was still appealing.

We know way more about what a Martian colonist will experience even now than the people in Europe did about the various risks even after a smattering of successful journeys.

Modern society is very intolerant of unknown risks like that.

An aircraft worthy of passenger travel in the 1950s is considered barbaric by todays standards. The risks incurred by astronauts on the international space station are lower than the passengers that took flights in the 1930s.
> Slaving away 40 hours a week on a bullshit job that can be trivially automated is not a benefit per se.

For some workers, that's a huge benefit. If they get ousted they have to find another degenerate position or work for a lower salary. Usually it's both.
Well metal becomes red hot, and ice is often blueish in nature.

But it is something we humans do, particularly with signaling devices (which a chart is a form of too, arguably) you will see color used in similar fashions to convey a similar meaning. Red is internationally a STOP color, a danger, warning color, and used as such most everywhere; except the Japanese stock market apparently. Which is fine, just curious to me.

Another comment here said that in the US some traders flip their colors to indicate red=sell, green=buy, which makes more sense to me in terms of Japan.
I thought the military money was promised but never ended being provided, making it doubly tragic.
I think this belief is a remnant of old versions of MySQL which traversed the entire table counting rows. This is mostly in the past though as they'll typically use the primary key index to count rows or just save the number somewhere (depending on the DBMS)

> The barrier of entry was actually lower than that. We didn't need to stand up an Apache server. We could just sign up for a Geocities/Xoom/Tripod account and upload HTML or use the built in site editor to create content.

Reading this thread feels like everyone is anchored to whatever methods were popular at the time they entered the internet as being the peak. The BBS people think it was all downhill after BBS declined. The self-hosting people think it was all downhill after sites like Geocities/Tripod/Xoom became popular. The Geocities people think it was all downhill after blogging platforms became popular. The blogging people think it was all downhill when social media became popular.

I think there's a heavy dose of nostalgia coloring the opinions in this thread. What people really yearn for isn't Geocities or Usenet or whatever. It's the feeling of excitement that came from first getting immersed in the internet when it was all new to you.

> Somewhere along the way, people stopped building well organized sites and started producing chronologically organized writings and content. These chronologically organized articles and content have dominated web content and social media ever since.

I don't see the problem with chronological ordering. Most of those platforms and sites make it easy to search for related posts. Worst case, the author can just drop some hyperlinks into the posts to tie them together.

Curated and organized websites tend to fall out relevancy and decay very rapidly. Might as well just let people post as they see fit and then we can find it by searching.

The problem with disabling non-obvious processes is that, well, they are non-obvious.

I suppose if it's your own machine, and you know what you're doing, that's OK, but as soon as something breaks you will have no idea whether it's because you turned something critical off, or whether it's actually a bug.

I’ll just chip in here - home ownership in the US seems to be priced right at the level people can barely afford - and it takes a ton of time and requires 30 years to pay off (or trade up in just a few).

Home ownership is a way to keep people busy fixing the house, working or risk losing a basic need, and living at the edge of their means. Also invested in their own property and less willing to riot and revolt. Don’t get me wrong - I like my home a lot, but the cost is not much less expensive than rent after all the other associated expenses.
There are a couple hundred FOSS CPU designs actually:

I agree that manufacturing is a real problem. FOSS processors can get adoption but until we open up the manufacturing pipeline they won't provide end users with the benefits we get from FOSS software.
Because some of us enjoy the “dollhouses”…?
Can you define "standalone" executables and "deploy"? They can mean different things depending on context, for example if you mean a single statically linked executable (rare) or an application bundle that packages dependencies, etc
This tweet makes no sense. Licenses have been approved, recently they approved the NuScale SMR design for example. They didn't approve Oklo's SMR design a couple of weeks ago and the CEO of that company then brought up the statistic. The tweet this one is citing is better. "No license initially submitted to the NRC has yet begun operations." The designs just don't seem to make it to production for some reason. The reason or reasons can't be deduced from this statistic.
