> TBH I'd rather read a few thousand lines of bash than the equivalent in Yet Another Migraine Looming spread across who knows how many containers that do who knows what.

While that's a fair position to take, you also might be in the minority here. I've seen plenty of in-house solutions in corporate environments and one of the things that they've all had in common was how bad they were, due to them being a way to just get things done and no more (e.g. no proper testing, no proper documentation, bad/wrong abstractions).

It's not like your (or anyone else's) collection of Bash scripts can compete with open source solutions that have had thousands of collective man years put into making them better and addressing the never ending churn of keeping things working across new distro releases etc.

I'm not advocating to go straight to Kubernetes - Docker Swarm or Hashicorp Nomad, or even just Docker Compose can all be decent alternatives that are simpler to wrap one's head around and manage, in most smaller deployments.

As for no one knowing what containers do, i would still take a collection of containers over the nightmare of 10 different webapps all being deployed in an instance of GlassFish/Tomcat, with who knows what sort of Cthulhu living in the shared libraries folder and everything being so brittle that you cannot even look at it the wrong way, or it'll break and you'll spend days digging through obscure error logs. Worse yet, have you ever needed to manage an environment that has applications that need 4 different JDK versions and many different launch methods (some use systemd services with Tomcat, some use Tomcat launch scripts, some have just a .jar that needs to be launched etc.), yet still count upon some shared environment configuration being present? Give me individual containers over that mess any day.

I think that there should be a clear separation between what a server needs to keep operating and where the "business software" would run - basically an /app directory with a subdirectory per application with whatever it needs, be it bind mounted data storage, configuration files, log output (in lieu of log shipping) etc., as opposed to having some stuff be strewn across /var, /etc, /opt, /www and who knows how many other directories. Containers give me just that.
It's not a particular operation that is the problem, it's writing a whole real-life program with no UB that is the problem.

Even so, one example in C++ where it's almost impossible to avoid UB is treating a piece of memory as both a struct and raw bytes with guarantees of no copying. This comes up a lot in network packet processing.

Show HN: Know what's happening in tech world at one place
I have been a developer for a while and then took a short break. During my break, I wanted to keep track of what's happening in tech world. It was too much to surf around multiple sources.

So, my friend and I created this app - where engineers can get everything at one place.

PS: No login required! :)
Yes, and?

We're talking about information technology here right? It's been constantly in flux for 30 years when it comes to the web and keep going as far as PCs and data storage systems before that.

Not saying I wouldn't like to see more long-lasting designs and content archiving is a huge deal/challenge/lost histories real problem, but hard to expect 10-20 year design choices and infrastructure to hold up or be planned for.
Unfortunately, not available via Homebrew for some reason.
Those two projects were by far the best April Fool games on reddit, with Place being one of my favorite internet events ever.
> C is the glue interface that connects all the different languages together. I wouldn't want to see anything new added to the language that complicates this lingua franca.

Indeed, this is one of the two things where C is still king, the other being running on weird hardware with specialized compilers.

That said, C is not a great glue language:

- Zero terminated strings are only used in C so every other language needs to do a copy to pass a string to C, even C++ (for string_view at least).

- A lack of fat pointers means that buffers need to pass their pointer and length separately, which is awkward, or use a custom struct which other languages will know nothing about.

- It has no standardized error handling mechanism to help with writing automatic wrappers on the other language endpoints.

- It has no modules or namespacing.

So while C will continue to be the glue language of the programming world, I wish it was just a bit better than what it is, would make language interoperability a lot nicer...
Not really. The bot can get its data from when NZ hits midnight, hours and hours before America and Europe etc. Even if it was always released at the exact same time globally, nothing to stop a bot solving it / fetching it immediately and replying to users posts from yesterday about what todays one is.

C++ is an overloaded language whose complexity seems to be growing with each revision. Heck, I remember Bjarne Stroustrup even semi-lamenting it in one of the interviews.

I don't understand why this is a C problem, whose syntax and definitions have been relatively stable for the last 3 decades. Author has gripes with C++ 'universality' IMHO but just piling it on C.
Yes, I would like to know what the plasma physicists can suggest. Plasma physics is the hardest kind of physics, so plasma physicists have to be better than other physicists. What they say deserves more attention.

Most who have found employment actually doing science study the sun, I think. But fusion projects divert many of them.
Well, the biggest prize is still YouTube, Spotify only 2nd.

Looks more like getting support to deplatform more mainstream independents there also.
This might apply for the use in a car having ICE. The electric motor itself could be optimized for efficiency, too. Efficiency adds range and indirectly reduces weight by smaller batteries. To rate the efficiency, we would need more data about motor efficiency vs. loads.
I wonder if they are interference patterns from some massive waves interacting.
Is it puzzling that they all seem to be aligned / orientated perpendicular to the galactic plane - they are not randomly orientated at all.

Or at least the ones we see. How would they look like if viewed from above?
> I mean, HIV is horrible. Yet so many people ignore protection.

Because sex is good. And sometimes spontaneous. And often combined with other drugs (booze) and people make bad decisions.
Would it change the meaning of existing valid programs? C's "type inference" algorithm is to assume that everything is an int by default. So

auto x = 7;

is equivalent to

auto int x = 7;

which is equivalent to

int x = 7;

(since "auto" is the default storage class). If the C standard folks do things right, then the only change will be to allow some previously invalid code like the following:

auto str = "foo";

Such code will compile on a C compiler (hopefully with a warning!) but won't have a defined behavior. I guess a more problematic case would be

auto x = 9999999999999L;

Where the value will be truncated in C but will be inferred as a long in C++ (assuming typical sizes for int and long int). Again, though, I am not sure if truncation of signed constants has a defined behavior in the standard.
Installing Every Arch Package
Yes. Up to a few years ago, I would often see rear facing car seats in the passenger side. It makes it easier for the driver to reach out to the toddler.
It's cool to see this here, thanks for posting! I remember working with SimpleDB when taking a a database internals class. It was an interesting and engaging way to learn concepts like strict two-phase locking and Selinger-style query optimization.
Timeline of Github:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_GitHub

suggests that things really got started in 2013.

Thus anyone with over (2022 - 2013 approx 9 years) of experience might have had substantial pre-git experience.

Noting as well that even post 2013, github might not have been the default in many organizations.
Sadly, the social component of wordle is a big part of it, and that URL looks like something the average person would be scared of giving them a virus.

"Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying" -- it's really good idea, because we are small digital marketing agency(https://svetagency.com/en-us/) for 6-7 accounts and just started our business. And it's reaaly helps small businesses when they start.
Reality is that approximately every company has these deployed. Not good, but reality.

Wordle itself is a clone of Lingo, an old TV game show. I’d be surprised if there is any IP. Now there is value to the site, I wonder if there will be lawsuits from the creators/owners of Lingo. Actually I don’t think they were first to create the concept either. Maybe it’s like chess, way too old for anyone to “own”.
I find the lutris is actually a pretty excellent experience. Most games have a method to install themselves with it, it integrates nicely with my gog library, and it really does just work. You can edit the prefix dosdevices to deny access to the filesystem outside of the prefix.

As long as you use it for potentially spammy website account, you can minimize your footprint. Don’t use it to mail friends or co workers for example. Use multiple services so no one service knows the whole picture.
Mine has a little compartment where I put in a block of pressed powder (a "tab") and then close it.

If I want more, I put in 2 tabs.

If I want none, I put in no tab.

If I want my dishes to smell like soup, I put in a buillon cube. (Not recommended by whoever built the Dishwasher)

I think it depends on the scale of your operation.

If you’re big enough to have a Unix team and SRE’s then today I’d wager kube can save you time and money vs. manually managing cpu, memory & disk allocations, software deployments/rollbacks and disaster recovery steps.

If you’re smaller than that, it really depends on the skillset of the team as to whether kube is a good idea or not.
I said that I don't resent the dev cashing in, and I said why the clones aren't a substitute.

Your comment amounts to "that's how it is, deal": zero information content, just an expression of a rather ugly attitude. I know that's how it is and whether I choose to be mad at NYT for it is entirely up to me. The fact that someone made money doing something doesn't oblige me to not think they're a dick for doing it.

Talking of which, whether the NYT do in fact make any money out of this remains to be seen. By buying it for 7 figures they've set themselves a high bar for that. It's entirely possible they'll end up having messed up something people were enjoying and lost both money and goodwill in the process. Kudos to the dev whatever happens, though.
When it comes to advice I always need to think about this quote:

"Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth."

It's from: https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/chi-schmich-sunscreen...
but I know it from the song "Sunscreen" by Baz Luhrmann, highly recommend.
The title doesn't seem to correspond to the article at all; basically it's clickbait.
What are some examples of suggestions Grammarly makes that you have to reject?
Previous Cannonball EV record sets the tone

>Conner tells us that he had the engineers at both Porsche and Electrify America on speed dial for this run. Despite it being New Year's Eve, he was able to work with the teams to ensure that the car was operating to its potential (despite the bugs) and the chargers he was visiting were both working and reliable.
Do you think I don't know :D

Is digital signature change the world of document signing?
> Things have meanings

Some things have fundamental meaning. Like integers, floats, and strings are clearly very different things.

Whether you allow this or that via PUT vs. POST or whatever is just a convention, and one that you can freely change as long as it is fully documented.
There is an "independent action hypothesis" in virology. It states that each virus particle (virion) has an independent probability of starting the infection in the body.

All this time spent on string theory and we find strands.

"Stretching up to 150 light-years long, the one-dimensional strands (or filaments) are found in pairs and clusters"

This is surely very interesting and raises lots of lovely questions, found in pairs aspect must be indicative of something. Would love to know if the pair's spacing constant. Also, how can they be one-dimensional as my understanding is, we would not be able to measure them far away if that was the case.
I guess that could be a form of survivor bias; we can only detect them well if they have this orientation towards us.
TLDR:
We (the danes) believe that the infected and the bad outcomes (hospitalizations and deaths) have been sufficiently decoupled due to massive vaccines.

Combined with our massive testing effort (both on an individual case-by-case basis and waste water testing etc) we believe it's time to lift the restrictions.

It is of course a risky move, and personally I am curious if we gonna hit the brake hard again in 10 days..

But anyways, lock-downs hurt both the people and the community around the world, so I am sure a lot of eyes are on us and everyone else doing something "aggressive"...

Fingers crossed
I mean it is a quote from a guest on the Tim Ferriss podcast. Not exactly a font of anything other than received wisdom and LinkedIn platitudes.
Speaking of Grammarly, are there any good offline tools of similar scope and competency?

I don't really relish the fact that these services have access to potentially very personal information.

Even with the best of intentions, there is no guarantee that now or later some of the information ends up being used in novel and shady ways.
I chuckle at something similar where books on programming languages are titled "The Definitive Guide to <Insert Programming Language>". Our industry changes, and fast. Everything is chaos.
Siemens MRI scanners allow you to enter patient height and weight in ‘metric’ and ‘U.S.’ (feet, inches and pounds). It makes me smile.

Even in countries with zero child deaths due to traffic, children need to have some traffic sense, and that's part of what helps keep the accident rate low. Cars exist and a child running into the road unexpectedly can still be injured by the safest possible car driven by the safest possible driver. Learning to cross the road is a basic skill children benefit from learning.

Having traffic sense also gives them more freedom and a better roaming range. My son was very traffic conscious from a young age, so I could let him run ahead on the pavement and freely run around small parks near roads. Other parents held their kids close because they were constantly worried they would run into the road. My son started walking to school at age 7 as he knew how to cross roads. These things gave him a lot of trust & freedom early on than other kids don't have.
I think I need to print that out, that’s wild.

Was also looking for a way to buy this... The last RF transmitter I was tinkering with had to be connected to my raspberry pi via GPIO pins and the whole setup was janky and unreliable. Would love one with a USB adapter instead
C is generally better because it doesn't treat you with kid gloves, if you don't know what you are doing you will get fucked in the ass. That said, any competent engineer would know what tool to use to solve a given problem. You don't use a sledge hammer to fix a watch.
i've always had the impression that miniaturization was the key to low thermal dissipation and electric consumption... How is it different with motors ? ( genuine question)
Modern Teslas also can sustain max power as well. Model 3 can basically launch consistently 0-60 in about 3.2sec some 20-30 times with no loss. The new Plaid can do low 9s back to back until the battery is low. Quite an achievement.
My understanding is that we have fast stimulation for movement even in peripheral vision. I think that is what helps the goalie.

The video is careful to avoid that, though the point it is making is valuable.
Honestly? Go through the trouble and ask the author for a license to print the relevant parts along with the referencing material.

The most egregious cases is when the author references their own web content!
>You say that you went to war with the Germans on behalf of the free world

Who said that? They definitely ruled over a lot of the non-free world at the time. India? East Africa?

A large part of the world supported the Axis simply because at the time, the British Empire was the relevant empire oppressing them, and by default, anyone who hated the British supported the Germans and/or Japanese.

A possibly apocryphal story is that a Brit was trying to explain to an African why it was necessary to fight the Nazis. He said "each country must rule over its own people, the Germans over Germany, the Poles over Poland, the French over France..." and the African said "..."

Gandhi was firmly against fighting the Germans and Japanese, and many Indians equated fighting for the Axis with fighting for independence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Army

"After the war ended, the story of the INA and the Indian Legion was seen as so inflammatory that, fearing mass revolts and uprisings across its empire, the British Government forbade the BBC from broadcasting their story."

>But at times I wonder: Was it not that they in a way were outdoing you and you were feeling a bit envious?”

Were they? At the outbreak of WWII, the British controlled "25% of the world's population, and of 30% of its land mass".

The phrase "odd undercurrent of authoritarian" itself is particularly odd, because what's odd about a country that ruled over one of the largest, if not the largest, empires of all time having an authoritarian streak?

Thanks, I had always wondered why some sites behave differently with some file types. A bit annoying, if you just want to glance at something for a while but not keep it around for longer.
Based on how many trash sites show up in search (even after search engines' algorithms try hard to downrank garbage), I wouldn't be surprised if more than 90% of the web is there only to make a quick buck with ads. According to Wikipedia, 90% of all email traffic in 2014 was spam, despite hosting providers and ISPs blocking ports and taking a hard stance on spam. I have no reason to believe the web is much better, especially given that spinning up a trash site is not going to start alerts and get IP blocks banned the same way that sending email spam does.

I think removing ads' profitability and the incentive to create more trash would be good for the web.

But you're right that with all the trash gone, there's would still be millions and millions of useful sites. The entire web isn't motivated by ad impressions and there are good reasons to run sites with no ads whatsoever.
Linters and types helped me a lot. When I started coding with Python and JS I introduced most Biggs due to typos or need to look up method names again and again and again ...

Now most of it is catched by tab completion, types and linting. That increased my joy of coding a lot.

Overall I like to code as you break down your intent into small statements. In high school I had to read and write long and convoluted texts and that was a pain. I made more then 25 mistakes on a single page during exames. Getting into software felt empowering as this did not matter anymore. There are still syntax errors in my code but I can fix them rather quickly without thinking to much about it.

I agree, the tools should make it very clear what implications using a certain feature has (e.g. unsafe in rust).

And if you work for Tesla in the firmware department, you can get one that will do that backwards as well!
It's the politics of the comment that should bother more than little old ladies.

It's a very, very anti-armed forces comment. I may disagree with it, but it's a completely valid point of view to hold. The idea that the armed forces, whose job it is to kill, is above this sort of criticism (wishing death, hellfire), is pretty mental and actually quite worrying.

Imagine Major General Snodgrass says "we must go to war with Russia now and hang it if it's nuclear!" Someone responds that Snodgrass is an idiot, a fool, a bounder and trying to compensate for the fact that he is slightly less sexually attractive to humans than a badger that was hit by a lorry last tuesday fortnight.

Snodgrass will have medals and be described by establishment types as a "National Hero." It goes with rising through the ranks. Also likely upper class for students of the British class system. Prosecuting people for being critical of a national hero who supports the class system is a thing some dream of seeing happen. This is a step forward for them.

Again I don't think it's right that all UK soldiers are evil and am generally opposed to killing in any circumstances where there's a viable alternative. The idea that expressing the other side of such an opinion should cause you to be prosecuted is insane on every level.

I've heard that the most celebrated holiday throughout the world (albeit on different days) is "Independence from England." Death is what soldiers deal in as even the armed forces most strident supporters will agree. It's the whole point, otherwise they'd be aid-workers.
All cosmos related reporting must say something like; “these strands indicate the possibility of life on other worlds”.
