Ask HN: Grep like tools for full text search?
Hello,

Like many in this community, I maintain my notes in text files.
I am looking for command line tools that I can use to index and search them.

Are there existing tools that do that?
My google skills are are not producing good results.

Thanks
Ah gotcha. Thanks. Missed that.
Heh, this thing really needs a proper share feature. Lacking that, I exported my masterpiece instead: https://rusticnes.reploid.cafe/nyan.%F0%9F%97%BF

For example, “the West” could be quite pleased if Russia invades Ukraine, but at a large cost. Basically turning Ukraine into new Vietnam or Afghanistan.
This “concern” does not help Ukraine in any way, it already had a cost on economy - falling national currency and so on.
At this point it’s over whenever we decide it is. So depends on what color state you live in.

I'm seeing a lot of people once again posing the theory that undoing affirmative action and other legislative forms of racial/gender equality enforcement would solve all these issues. This doesn't contribute to that theory in my opinion. Communities that are failing to be inclusive with affirmative action would only deteriorate further without it. This man working his hardest to overcome very difficult circumstances isn't getting recognized in the current day. The coworkers who label him a "diversity hire" because of the color of his skin, would all still be judging him on that were they forced to pick another label. Working in an inclusive company and a """inclusive""" company are wildly different experiences, but both are possible under the current system affirmative action provides.

I'd be more willing to hear about the critiques of legislation if better solutions were suggested, instead of the vague implication that the world was in total racial harmony before the 1960s.

Overall it's saying, if I may deduce as much, that overfishing by fisheries is endangering wildlife and that taxes are invested to slow this process.

It's not arguing that commercial revenue should be deducted from the fisheries as if they were working for the government (and I'm not sure if the 1$ figure is ammortized by taxes payed from this industry or if the taxes are already included in it).

One consequence would be to eat less fish and go get one if you really want it. Of course this would again create a market and it's a slippery sloap with regards to small scale commercial fishers.

So, in a sense that's a gross calculation, if that's what you mean.

Russia built two Gen III+ reactors with 1200 MW each at the site of the existing Novovoronezh nuclear power plant for just about three billion Euros (250 billion Rubles).

Nuclear isn’t expensive if you do it right.
In the TXR Lisp compiler load-time (what load-time-value is called: of course there is always a value, so why mention it) is used in the implementation of lambda hoisting.

E.g. if your compiler doesn't have lambda hoisting, you cna manually do it like this:

(defun my-fun (...)
(let ((fun (load-time (lambda (...))))
...))

This works if the function doesn't make any references to the lexical environment of the surrounding function. Then the lambda gets instantiated once and becomes a "virtual literal" in the loaded code; calls to my-fun no longer have to construct a closure; they just pull it out of the static data, where it is in a kind of fixed register at a known position.

The compiler has to recognize cases when this can be done automatically and make it so.

Well that answers that question. I had someone with a broken touchscreen recently and I told them Android might accept a mouse shoved into the USB-C as it worked fine when I shoved an external USB mic in there. Guess I was right.

Taking your point though, I'm going to add this to my testing script for my web sites now.
What's particularly troubling is that the greatest value in diversity, comes from the diversity of perspectives, experiences, and ideas.

That kind of diversity has so many roots, that recruiting by race alone actually reduces intellectual diversity.

Modern HR diversity programs are more about virtue signaling and conformity - not diversity.
I don't think "clean" means used soap and water. ;-)

Hey! Thanks for the awesome response.
Firecracker is awesome, I had a chance to use it a bit. Firecracker is a vm too, I think. It’s KVM under the hood.
You are right that in the general case going for the cloud is the most appropriate choice.
I’ve made a choice to self host and it works for me in so far for a few years. I’m looking to have more automation now.
What I currently have in mind is a nomad/consul (with mesh) architecture over hetzner dedicated nodes. So nomad will oversee a fleet of vms on these nodes.
To use packer or similar tool to create images and deploy using nomad.
This is the base and then I can add load balancers, monitoring, logging etc as needed, cloudflare etc.

Your appeal to biased experts does nothing to further the discussion.

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about, so you breathlessly appeal to those who agree with you, all the while comparing those arguing in good faith, to another group you disagree with.

In short, you’re a mess.
You could run them all on the same host and use docker with kata containers. The firecracker hypervisor was developed by aws to even run multiple tenants on the same host, so it should be very secure.
If you are just queueing outbound emails you can consider a simple SMTP buffer that uses no server at all - it just saves files to disk.

I was using Celery for sending emails - nothing else. And Celery was such a nightmare to configure and debug and such overkill for email buffering that in a fit of frustration I wrote the Arnie SMTP buffering server and ditched Celery.

The rise of science-based investigative journalism
Calling people ignorant because you don’t agree with their opinions or reasons is a non starter for constructive discussions. Using IPV4 has never ever caused me a problem and I will never ever run out of addresses. I prefer to focus my time on real issues that actually affect end users and improve their experiences.
Yes most gaming doesn't require much, but I think the more sustainable valuable applications do.

For example there are table tennis apps so realistic that pros use them to train. I will never ever be able to own a table tennis / ping pong table due to lack of space in my house but I can have it with VR. Not only that I don't need to find a comparably skilled player and line up schedules every time I want to play. And just the price of a real a table alone is more than buying a Quest!

So what's the issue? Well these apps intrinsically take a bit of getting used to. There's a specific technique for serving that relies on some use of the controllers that is not hard but not obvious to someone who started using VR 5 minutes ago. So nearly 100% of people fail at using this app first time they play. Very few people can do this well until they've spent a bit of time in VR, getting used to how you can open and close your grip in the right way to pick things up and put them down etc. We may eventually get there with hand tracking etc where this is not such a problem, but its far from that point now.

So this is what I mean when I say, the "cheap" experiences that are easy for people to experience actually work against - in some ways - VR fulfilling its potential, because typically that is all they get shown and they never get a chance to learn to do the more "high value" activities.
Android has already proven that this won't happen. Google has enough scary dialogs in place to make it impractical for anyone else to compete at scale (including Amazon and Epic).

>...large-scale attackers are already recording as much Internet traffic as they can. Do they throw the data away if it's encrypted with RSA-2048? Of course not. They keep it forever[1], hoping and expecting that someday they'll develop the ability to decrypt it, for example by building a quantum computer.

The Forbes reference actually says that an oversight body allows the NSA to keep encrypted data forever, not that they actually do. There is so much encrypted data on the internet now that the NSA would have to use a significant amount of all the storage produced each year to keep a running archive of everything. A victory of sorts...

I guess, both. Cockroaches are not so smart in the end, in fact, they often become victims of their powerful drives, which can be exploited for their own demise. I'm sure knowing the architect and behavior of the DB can be exploited in a similar way! I'm joking, of course.
In some TW games this is slightly modeled in, in the sense, that a unit might choose to fight till death, rather than running away, when they are surrounded and they have nowhere to run. So then you open up a way .. and they will try to run again, which is easier to finish them without own casualties.

But those are hardcoded algorithms.

The units do not really learn. (that would be awesome, but is very very hard to implement in realtime in a proper way) They just improve their stats with experience. So they get stronger in stats in either case, even when fleeing every single battle.
aging mostly happens after an organism reproduces, so there is no evolutionary pressure to maintain fitness. there is no pressure to develop maintenance mechanisms...

I still have my Hayes 33.6kbaud Voice SmartModem.

I got it long after the BBS era. This was my first device to access the Internet with, around 1999. It was great. And I could even play StarCraft with a friend by dialing him up!

See, this was important because Internet access cost about $1/hr. And in late 90s Ukraine, that was quite a lot of money. $200/month was a decent salary back then.

Now, my mother's computer was running Windows NT 4.0, and it had a dial-up server feature.

So I set it up, along with a small web server[1], and wrote a CGI binary in Delphi to serve up my file stash (laboriously downloaded from the web) to whoever dialed in... which was me, when I was away from home, or some of my friends.

There was also an FTP server for uploading files, and a VNC server for painstakingly slow remote control if needs be.

All powered by the trustworthy Hayes Smart Modem.

That’s beside the point. This company does not need NFTs to do it.
PC DOS diverged from MS-DOS from version 6, went to version 7, and then around the turn of the millennium had a final commercial release called PC DOS 2000 which was essentially PC DOS 7 with some y2k fixes and other little modernizations. IBM used it embedded in other products until about 2003 after which it's been dead and buried.

DR-DOS was bought by Novell when Digital Research went under and became Novell DOS, then it was sold again to Caldera (and later its spun-off Lineo division) where it was called Caldera OpenDOS for a while. It was sold off one last time to DRDOS, Inc. which sold it as a commercial product until at least 2011. I think the current status of the ownership and codebase is unclear.
$50k/yr doesn't really accelerate retirement as much as it would seem. You probably spend at least some of that on lifestyle creep, and if you're at $300k/yr already, you've likely already gone about as far as you can in tax advantaged savings sources.

I'd probably still take it, but I'll admit I'm a bit more money motivated than the average person.

Another vote for migadu. I've used migadu for my family between two domains on their cheapest plan. I've been very happy with it. Their webclient while functional is a bit barebones so we use phone email + emclient on laptops with nextcloud handling contacts and calendar.
But they aren't. They have this vision of white-male-controlled America from the 40s and 50s that kept minorities and women in "their place". The wish to bring back dangerous biases against POC being less than whites, and males being the dominant deciders in all matters. It's so blatantly obvious with how their chosen messiahs like Desantis and Trump favor only policies that further empower white males and lessen the power of women, POC, and those who aren't gender normative. They aren't rooting for "middle America" they only filling them with fear about diversity and non traditional opinions being equally as valid as "christian" beliefs. Democrats are flawed, but the GOP has become a party of white supremacy which came to a head under the Trump presidency because they found one of their own who wasn't hiding behind the moderate "business forward Republican" persona of past republicans.

Black, the uncompromising Python code formatter, is stable
I'm pleased to announce that Black is finally non-beta software! :party:!

Change log: https://black.readthedocs.io/en/latest/change_log.html

Going forward we'll follow our stability policy (https://black.readthedocs.io/en/latest/the_black_code_style/...).

Work continues as usual with bugfixes and enhancements, but style changes are now introduced under our new `--preview` CLI switch. This allows us to evolve Black's style without too much disruption to users that want consistency. The default style is updated yearly.

Thanks to our maintainers for orchestrating the efforts, especially to our most recent reinforcement Batuhan (@isidentical) who was responsible for our match statement support! A hearty thank you to all of our contributors for pushing Black forward, and to our users for being the reason we do it!

> Renewables account for most new U.S. electricity generating capacity in 2021

Capacity doesn’t buy you much for volatile renewable energies since the capacity factors for PV and wind are relatively low and wind production is unpredictable.

Despite the huge growth in PV and wind capacity, nuclear is still the largest source of carbon-free energy in the US according Argonne National Laboratory and the Department of Energy.

This is something that I'm learning to appreciate. My recent HN traffic spike (Woe of WebSocket) had many people missing the point.

I'm preparing to launch my SaaS, and I'm wondering do I start with the fun and cheeky marketing "Hey, this was designed for board games, but you can use it for so much more" OR do I pair with "Infrastructure designed for JamStack" (which is a bit of a lie).

I've started writing the Amazon style press release and FAQ to help me, but I'm excited to start the train on selling a crazy new platform.

He's not stealing from anyone. Stealing means taking something that isn't yours. He's engaged in a willful transaction with an employer, it's just that it leaves him enough time and capacity to do side work.
I'll believe in good faith that his employment is constantly monitored and evaluated.

From the employer side there are sometimes considerations why to keep someone around. Could be morale, regulations, keeping resources for something legacy or something in the future, etc.

ConstitutionDAO was literally a kickstarter. They handed out tokens that gave you no rights, no ownership, no voting - no nothing. Just tokens of appreciation. The people who collected the crypto deposits would have been the sole beneficial owners the constitution. Just a donation.

Any DAO that wants to do anything of any meaningful complexity ends up registering as a Wyoming entity which isn't really any different than an LLC.

DAOs are an attempt to separate the crypto nouveau riche from their tokens.

You can achieve anything you want to from a DAO with a corporation plus a twitter poll or SurveyMonkey thing - except the issuance of unregistered blue-sky securities.

Anyways, what's going to get really interesting is when we inevitably have see some legal challenges around this. I strongly suspect we'll see some personal liability materialize and this is going to take a lot of the fun out of this new grift.
The biggest problem with nuclear isn’t waste management, fuel procurement, nimby, not even black swans. The top problem is that if we commission enough nuclear plants today, they won’t produce the first watt until after it’s way too late to prevent catastrophic climate change. It could have been a solution 20 years ago, now you can build, operate and decommission a wind farm or solar plant in the time it takes to design and build a nuclear reactor.

If you really want to see it in a zero sum way, which I disagree with, you need to realize that those living in suburbia or in rural areas are the lowest common denominators. Paying for their lifestyle is why taxes in cities are so high and why laws in cities are so harsh.

It is logistically impossible for the people that live outside cities to have anywhere near the quality of life they currently enjoy without the existence of people living in cities.

Indeed, without subsidies paid for by city folk, agricultural prices would plummet and become unstable, which would greatly hamper the prosperity of anyone related to the agricultural sector.

Without cities, it would also be impossible to pay for the infrastructure enjoyed by suburbia and rural areas. The amount and quality of roads would have to decrease drastically, and suburbs would have to pay multiple times more for running water, electricity infrastructure, wastewater management (you would have to move to a septic tank with all of the costs those entail). This would have knock-on effects increasing the prices of all goods and it would make transportation either very expensive or impossible.

This would lead to a complete collapse of rural and suburban life in North America.

If you want to know what that would look like, you can envision life in rural China, or somewhat worse even.

Urbanisation is absolutely necessary for the quality of life you enjoy. In the relationship, despite it being mutually beneficial, those who live in rural areas are the ones who are moreso compensated. As for suburbia, it's not clear that it is beneficial at all to those who live in cities.

Then you're "interpreting differently" = misinterpret. Everyone interprets everything to understand it at all but you misinterpret it when you understand it differently than intended. And maybe you disinterpret when you do so intentionally.
