I self-host rancher 2.6 for personal use and maintain a 3-node cluster. I find it enjoyable to work with though I only host ~13 different web applications: private docker registry, gitea, drone, plex media server, sagemath through jupyter, and a few personal projects.

It's probably unnecessary/overkill for single-user like myself, but so far I like it
I heard something a while back that was roughly 'we love to agonize over these trolley problems, but the answer is always to hit the brakes.' I'd add 'and avoid these sketchy situations in the first place.'

I know drivers who will blast around blind turns, potentially putting them in these situations where they'd say "there was no time to react!", when they should be slowing down just in case there's someone they'll need to avoid. It's why we talk about defensive driving.

If the brakes are broken often enough for these kinds of dilemmas to even matter, you've failed to avoid the situation in the first place, and need to recall the product to add more redundant systems. Instead of agonizing over what to do in a situation that comes up 1% of the time, turn that 1% into 0.000001%.
I am curious to see what countries like the Netherlands will do. It is easy to build new nuclear power plants when you are going to shift the real problem onto others.

In the long run, I expect the same thing will happen with the majority of nuclear waste as with a lot of other problematic waste: It is going to be exported to a poor country were the elites make money from it while the population has to bear the consquences.
If I'm saying anything, I'm saying we should do what the collective expert institutions tell us (and stop listening to individuals, regardless of how qualified), and those institutions are generally sticking with the, "keep masking, kids!" message.

I'm not sure how you can read what I've written and not see how the risk is actually substantially higher than 0, and additionally to other people who have less of a choice about their comfort taking on that risk. I think you are fully aware I'm not suggesting we wear masks forever, but I'm curious about why you feel the need to present that strawman as my position. Is this generally an effective way to communicate for you?
Of course the status quo is fine, you're one of the highest paid people in one of the cushiest occupations in all of human history.
Deals like this are happening because there is so little revenue from streaming.

This is why you hear Led Zeppelin and Dylan songs in car ads now. With little revenue from recording sales or streaming, artists are leaning more on other revenue like sync licenses and co-marketing deals. If you read carefully, the Sirius deal is not just access to Young’s back catalog, it is using his name to market Sirius. He gets paid for that on top of the music itself.
If you have a storage facility I don't see why you wouldn't sell/rent it to other countries.

Sweden is storing the stuff in a room 500 meters (.25 miles) inside a hill. That isn't deep disposal. Deep is perhaps 5000 meters down, even 10000 meters, maybe also below the sea floor. Down there the rock is warm and flexible. And not in a room but just in the drilled hole. Diffusion back to the surface won't be a problem.
> I tend to think that people who operate in this way are subhuman, in the genuine sense of the word - they seem more like bureaucratic automatons than living beings with spirits and hopes and dreams.

Quick capsule hypothesis-- you tend toward thinking in a way that results in you having written the word "subhuman" on HN because an active pandemic tends to increase feelings of disgust in the affected population.

Did you consider that possibility?

Edit: wording
It's not operational yet, maybe in 2023 or 2025.

Parachutes don’t work well enough for this hypothetical.

Are there full body airbags? Could that even work?
> French govt estimated that it would reach the surface 400 years after burial (so, 100 years for a breach and 300 years to swim down and up), diffused enough not to cause harm.

What kind of waste are you talking about? Long-term stored high-activity radioactive waste is certainly not going to leak its way to the surface in 400 years.
Is the idea that you build your website out of the blocks of other websites?

As in TMZ and Techcrunch both publish something and you display their little blocks on your website? Is the data dynamic? It seems like there is data, and there is a block that can display said data.

How is this any different from a view and a model(+controller?)?
Validating regex with some visualization is cool and all...but I actually value my time. I want a WYSIWYG regex builder, not a tool that helps me learn it.
No, the exhausting part is not a new framework, it's being pitched The Next Revolution when it's just a horizontally-iterative variation on a domain that people continue to reinvent without ever actually making a difference. Someone need to step up to the bigger picture of how we stop the entire JS side of the industry repeat the same mistakes that not only other domains have already dealt with but that the JS community seems destined to repeat themselves.
Germany’s Folly
This only works if you fit that stereotypical definition of what a "normal" person looks like or does. As soon as you deviate even a little from the norm, suddenly you got problems.

I had to do two interviews with a bank to open an account in UK because their automated systems were giving them "errors", apparently, when they're trying to check me. Normal people have to complete an online form (5 minutes) and will receive everything through post.

A year later I had to phone paypal support four times as it wouldn't accept neither of my two cards. On my 4th try I finally managed to get an actual English guy to answer my phone, who finally managed to understand every word I was saying without having me to spell anything letter by letter..

Last week I wanted to buy a plane ticket. I had no problems doing that until now (I had an old laptop with windows 7). Now, since running Linux, I open the website, as soon as I click search to find a flight, suddenly captcha! Every 3-5 minutes a new captcha...

This is a nightmare!
D'oh, thanks. Fixed.

Hi my metal brother,

I have nothing to gain from a PR stunt. As you can see from my website, it's a small blog, not a mainstream professional website. But it means a lot to me sentimentally, because it's something I have been working on for 11 years, and a small (well, 56k small) community of metalheads was built around it. The last few years the only content was the end of year lists, but this was very popular on Facebook.

I think the main reason it became valued among metalheads is because it's not a "mainstream" list, of the kind promoted by the music industry, every year the same people... I go to great lengths to find out great music. Often enough, a band which I think deserves to be on the top 20 list may be relatively unknown in mainstream media, and both the bands and fans seem to find value in this and thank me for it.

Check out the end-of-year list for 2021. You may find something you like. I particularly recommend the top ranked album on that list, Thy Catafalque!

100k is still on the order of engineerable problems if you do proper risk assessment.

I don't think any reasonable solution expects avoiding failures, but rather is fail-safe. I'm not even sure if you call them failures if they are part of the expected lifecycle.
I wonder who thinks that in 100,000 years Sweden will exist or even if Swedish in 1,000 or 10,000 years would respect this decision, haha. Looks like an impossible for me: nothing is forever, and 100,000 years is a long time.
You raise some interesting points here that I had not previously considered with respect to flight/submarines vs. land vehicles/boats. That third dimension must introduce a lot of cognitive load, even before conflict of other vessels/aircraft enter the scene.
I wouldn't call it risky. We can safely sit in top of the material for a few hundred years. Assuming we have no technological advancements in that time then yeah we should move to a collective long term storage. But the storage problem isn't nearly as difficult if you only plan for a hundred years and only concern yourself with the waste of a single plant (or a few).

I wonder if the recommendation for context-aware auth also includes broader adoption of Impossible Travel style checks?

For context, Impossible Travel is typically defined as an absolute minimum travel time between two points based on the geographical distance between them, with the points themselves being derived from event-associated IPs via geolocation

The idea is that if a pair of events breaches that minimum travel time by some threshold, it's a sign of credential compromise; It's effective for mitigating active session theft, for example, as any out of region access would violate the aforementioned minimum travel time between locations and produce a detectable anomaly
How? Budapest Memorandum only required parties to respect borders, not to defend them. They only need to "seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance" when there is threat of using nuclear weapons.
Looks are critical to account for in engineering a physical con... in a way that minimizes the chances of someone undesirably thinking twice about your actions.

I don't know. Charisma and looks are pretty much orthogonal, at least for some people. The canonical example is Hitler, somebody whom you'd think people would instinctively avoid at work or the neighborhood bar, yet who somehow ended up running Germany.

It never hurts to be hot or handsome -- would a young Donald Trump who looked and sounded like Hitler have gotten very far in life? -- but it clearly isn't an absolute requirement.

So this seems to be a wrapper around web components, which might make web components easier to use in frameworks. By providing types, one could build a generator that takes a Block and creates a strongly-typed React/Vue/Svelte component, or even mobile components using a webview.
We'd ignore any warnings in the Egyptian pyramids, because they'd warn us that the gods would get us, and we don't believe in the gods. We warn future people that the radiation will get them, and if they're more advanced than us, they still believe in radiation. (And if they're not more advanced than us, maybe they think that radiation is a spell from the gods?)

The problem is to communicate "radiation danger" to someone 10,000 years from now who doesn't use our language, alphabet, or iconography. That's not easy. Not impossible, but not easy.

The other problem is devising warning signs that will survive 100,000 years...
Probably true but I'm also pretty sure Google isn't using VMware for live migrations under the good.
We should all be clamoring that stealing is never OK. But NOT with examples of poor people scraping for food.

>> 3. Context aware authorization. So not just "can this user access this?" but attestation about device state! That's extremely cutting edge - almost no one does that today.

> I think 3. is very harmful for actual, real-world use of Free Software. If only specific builds of software that are on a vendor-sanctioned allowlist, governed by the signature of a "trusted" party to grant them entry to said list, can meaningfully access networked services, all those who compile their own artifacts (even from completely identical source code) will be excluded from accessing that remote side/service.

Is that really a problem? In practice wouldn't it just mean you can only use employer-provided and certified devices? If they want to provide their employees some Free Software-based client system, that configuration would be on the whitelist.
Maybe this isn't what you're looking for but Retool (https://retool.com/) is a really great platform for building internal apps faster. I have no association with them, just think they're cool and do a useful thing.
Uh, yes. Trans women are women. You’re just transphobic.
I don't really remember where I discovered the concept of being a digital nomad. After discovering it in 2018, we decided to give it a try. I left an awesome job in Australia and we put the little 1 bedroom apartment we'd renovated on the market and became digital nomads.

Australia is great, but we both felt a little bored with Australia and with a desire to explore the rest of the world (in a way that holidays had only compounded the desire).

We put everything in storage and started by flying a cheap one way flight from Australia to Greece and from there we went to Romania. Early on, the digital nomad thing was part 'budget', so going to cheap places.

We weren't really sure how sustainable it would be. It felt a little like skipping school. I started splitting my time between working on a startup and remote contracting work, and my partner has a business she can run remotely.

If you come from a place where rent is quite expensive (UK, Australia), then there are plenty of places where a months AirBnB will set you back roughly the same or less than a rental property.

Over time we've calibrated our costs, and we no longer try to travel to cheaper places in the same way, and we don't stay at the bottom end of the accommodation spectrum (hostels, etc). Better to have a desk, kitchen and be productive.

In 2018 and 2019 we did a lot of Europe and Asia. When the pandemic hit we briefly went back to Australia (March -> end of May) but realised we couldn't stay, didn't have long-term accomodation (and didn't really want it) and we were crawling up the wall.

We flew back to London and then spent the summer of 2020 in Europe, ending up on a long-term visa in Estonia for a few months. It hasn't been the same, of course. The whole time we've complied with local restrictions wherever we've been -- it's been interesting seeing the way the pandemic is perceived and responded to in different places.

For example, we caught the train from Denmark to Sweden to visit an embassy and it crossed the bridge into Sweden and the announcer said 'ok you can take off your masks now'.

It's meant much more work than play over the last little while. It's allowed me to be very clear on not putting things off (mostly pre-pandemic). So often we have excuses as to why things can't happen. Sailing, our next adventure, has been on my "life list" since 2009 and never really progressed.

Miles, our English Cocker Spaniel is a new challenge (he just turned 1). Having to balance visa issues, covid travel restrictions and pet travel, is one hell of a dependency tree at times. Worth it though.

The whole digital nomad thing is an overloaded term. It means a lot of different things to different people. But if you can work online remotely (and a large number of white-collar/no-collar employees have discovered they can), then you can do it from anywhere in the world. You can explore places in a different way, less pressured and more just soaking in the way people live. It's a balance.

Sailing cruising is supposed to be an extension of that, and we'll split our time between the sailing seasons and continuing to do digital nomad things (or at least that's the plan so far).
More generally, humans are generally bad at anything requiring the discipline and attention to detail that good opsec requires. Ability to do this well probably doesn't have much correlation with intelligence (although seeing the need for it might).
I feel like in the absence of an overwhelming justification, your comment is just derailing the topic and attracting unnecessary attention.
The middle class.
Sort of, but a tunnel network of that type is never going to be able to handle many users, no matter how good the design gets, while improved and safe jetpacks probably could replace most of the cars on the road.
As an aside, have you noticed any improvements from training with a mask on? Is it like how runners might train at high altitude, so when you come back to normal levels you are more efficient?
It would work in some cases, but if you're too low it won't necessarily have time to slow you down enough. The record for the lowest BASE jump is about 100 ft, and that wasn't a surprise equipment failure. Parachutes would help in a lot of situations, but you would still easily die in a lot of other situations.
Ok but we know about zero!
> enormous risk even if the probability of catastrophe is very low.

That's not really how probability works. If the probability of catastrophie is low then it's not an enormous risk.

Honestly I think the risk of nuclear storage is really low. Most challenges are focused om how to keep it safe for thousands of years. The next several hundred years are no problem.
Eurex's 'Enhanced Order Book Interface' is another one, with documentation that i think is pretty good - there's a PDF manual here:

> Nuclear is the quickest path to green, and it's staring us right in our faces.

This is held as self-evident in all these discussions on HN and yet all the simulations I've seen have nuclear as way too expensive compared to the alternatives. After someone points that out the discussion shifts to how it's also evident that nuclear is only expensive because of red tape but no one can explain how. We're stuck there as far as I can tell.
So what you're really saying is:

On paper Playwright should be a LOT better - it's taken a similar approach to Cypress, where everything is designed around the need to reduce flaky tests.

In Playwright that manifests itself as the "auto-wait" feature: https://playwright.dev/docs/actionability

You can do this kind of thing with Selenium too but it wasn't designed in from the very start of that project.

It seems like you're dismissing the reality of small children spreading Covid to more vulnerable populations.

My daughter who is 3 and thus unvaccinated, caught Omicron at daycare. Unfortunately the parents of the child who was spreading it, neglected to inform the daycare that the child was positive. Because of this, we unknowingly spread it to my 81 year old mother in law. This was around Christmas and although she is ok, it was a little touch and go for a while.

I imagine I'm far from the only person who found themselves in this kind of situation.
No mention of TikTok yet. How long until a motivated teenager gets ahold of one of these and starts a trend?
In the 1980s, GIT didn't exist, and CVS was a complicated thing that Unix people used, so I didn't have "proper" version control. I did, however, have a stash of ZIP files of increasing sequence number on floppy disks.

In the 1990s, We used FTP to send files to web servers because we didn't have WebDAV or any more secure protocols at the time. We used tables because that is what we had.

We had fewer tools than today, it really doesn't amount to any learning, just better tool availability. Knowledge itself seems to have stayed about the same.
I don't think "helped" is the proper term here. The entire premise is to get people on to facebook and to keep them engaged. Maybe that has some benefits to the user but the real benefit is to Facebook seeing that users are the product and that Facebook's value is tied to how many users are engaged.
Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that so many don't understand where k8s came from.

Google doesn't run on k8s. k8s was _not_ invented or designed to solve Google-scale problems.

Since it's inception, the open source community and several corporate contributors have made k8s much closer to something that can solve google scale problems, but that's definitely not where it started, or arguably, where it is now.

Everyone in my family (including me) is vaccinated and boosted, but they all (except me somehow) still got COVID during December, with my mom getting especially sick. Fortunately they all recovered and are fine now (I think largely due to the vaccine), but I feel like there exists an alternate universe where my mom dies despite being vaccinated.

Because of this, I don't think the "fuck the unvaccinated, I am sick of masks" mantra works; people can still get pretty sick even after being responsible and getting vaccinated, and I think as a result the mask mandates might need to stay. I don't like them either, but I like people getting sick even less.

NOTE:

Just to be 100% clear: I am very very very much not anti-vax. Please get vaccinated.
We need it.
i've been saying this for some time in the US and think it is similar to the reasons we cannot build high speed rail here. Too many points of opposition for a not immediate and obvious benefit (namely lower energy prices, and fewer negative environmental effects). Individual and municipal solar with expensive batteries seems to just fit better with our individualistic and consumer mindsets.
Kids don't act in true 3-D, they act in Doom-like 2-D. It gives the appearance of 3-D, but the Z-axis is barely off zero. Climbing swaps X and Z, but is still 2-D.

If it helps, think of what everybody else is calling "3-D" as "no obvious primary axis."
Agreed.

This is what I mean about giving a bunch of programmers/developers the power to choose new forms of governance/financial infrastructure.

These are social structures that affect everyone and shouldn't be given to developers no matter how well-meaning they are.
Good question! I honestly have no idea. The handful of MajorBBS boards in my area were pay-for-access systems focused on multi-player gaming and chat, since those were the main features where a 50-line community BBS has a huge advantage over all the free hobbyist 1-2 line boards. The message base and file download sections of MajorBBS systems in my area were pretty sparse.

Actually, your point likely explains why the BBS in the OP was set up the way it was: Software Creations BBS was a major shareware file distribution hub, so a much greater focus on file transfers.
