I wonder, how does the principle of not breaking userspace mesh with removing of file systems or drivers?

I think some of the published cases where userspace would have been "broken" and Linus got angry were fairly minor, as in you might not even need to fix the software, the user just has to be aware of different defaults. Whereas updating a kernel to a version where the filesystem is not supported will definitely render the installation unusable.
Sorry, I don't understand how strapping some screens very close to our eyes will bring us back to the halcyon days of pre-1970 (which were absolutely dominated by the discovery of cheap energy in the form of oil and coal, and in the case of the US, the technological boost of fighting a war without the downsides of it being on its own soil). It sounds like what you are pining for is the time when we reaped maximal benefits of the Industrial Revolution but before we realised the repercussions.
Based on a quick glance, it looks like this goes right at Notion but with Markdown based editing and rendering. I like that a lot. I want to love Notion, but I try to avoid proprietary formats for notes these days. Markdown is a dream IMO, so this looks like a great option for people that want a Notion-like experience but with a data preservation and export-friendly file format.
Job title -> pay range. If you do work that does not match your job title (or job description) and your boss refuses to acknowledge it, I'm confident there's existing legal pathways to deal with it - with the help of unions if need be.
Try the web server Redbean. You put it all in a single zip file, serving a file simply copies the pre-gzipped content directly into a tcp stream. Obviously some of the FS read performance cost is moved into navigating the zip file, but the storage overhead is not, and nor is the read+write-able nature of the FS.
@dang, i would suggest to change the editorialized title.

Its not a fait accompli, its a draft under discussion.

E.g.

I'm curious about the typing experience. Is the Simula One able to bring the keyboard into the virtual environment or do you need to rely on touch typing? I know Meta partnered with Logitech on a special keyboard (K830) to try and solve for this. How are you thinking about it?
The problem with this is that mediocre employees getting rewarded, while the better one will seek oppprtunity else where. Over time, company practising will be less competitive and accumulating mediocre employees. I've been in HR for multiple companies over couple decades and seen these subtlely happening. Equality in pay has similar effect like communism where everybody is equal but poor whereas the poorest in competitive market is richer. It is better for a company to have intrinsic culture to always reward people for performance and not based on equality, gender and race.
Sorry to highjack this thread, but I've been looking for an open-source alternative that can edit .md files, and sync them to a Github repo. I know my IDE can do this - but just wondered if a writing-specific app existed that was also open source?

(if it's relevant: its for private thoughts that I'd like to just keep in a Github repo because its 1. Free and 2. Not going away anytime soon)
AMD is way more nimble than Intel though, since they're fabless.

>Hard to imagine all those Taiwanese TSMC workers

There's a reason PRC has much more success poaching TSMC employees than US trying to fill up new fabs. Why TW has drafted laws to prevent TW semiconductor talent from working on mainland. Generally TWers prefer working in PRC, with comparable language / culture. Great compensation and quick flight home. Reality is most of TSMC employees will been prevented from being paperclipped to the US in event of war, their future will be firmly tied to PRC and as significant assets, they'll be treated with more carrots than sticks.
Agreed. The one year I took off to travel changed my life for the better. I became more comfortable socially and made friends all over the world that I try to see whenever I travel again. I found my love of rock climbing on that trip which also has proved to be a hobby that keeps me healthy and motivated to go outdoors.

It's not too late for you. Next time you switch jobs take 6 months off in between and go travel. Stay in hostels, have days where you do nothing at all, etc...
Except that, in practice, because crypto mining can happen anywhere there is electricity, people exploit weak governments to get their electricity from the cheapest possible source. And to the extent that crypto miners are competing for scarce electricity resources, they increase the cost of electricity for other uses, crowding out, for example, its use for heating and light.

These are not good things.
I always feel cognitively impaired for a few seconds when I am discuss some planing aspect with product managers, they all keep using week numbers as if that provided any form of intuition to other mortals.

What other filesystems have checksums for data? Last time I looked, after a silent SSD failure that I only noticed because some .so files were affected, the only options were btrfs and reiserfs (I think ZFS required a custom kernel at that time).

The incident was really eye-opening in how fragile was my data: if .so files were not affected, I would have continued to use the system and erroneous data would silently be propagated to backups.
Native comp doesn't do anything for for startup implicitly, absolutely. There are no startup optimizations or anything like that. However, the speed with which elisp runs on native comp seems to be between 1.5 and 10 times faster. I run emacs on a lot of underpowered arm devices (think rpi zero) and use my full config. And the decrease in startup time on those machines was astonishing.
This implies that your retirement savings are in cash, which is inaccurate for most folks. And certainly, I'd rather have it invested in the stock market than the wild fluctuations of the crypto market, especially with its uncertain withdrawal ability and complete inability to recover if someone steals it (which is, again, typically much easier with crypto than a brokerage).
Even with Photoshop, eventually the product was complete enough that most users felt little need to upgrade even after multiple releases (I’m one such user — PS 7/CS1/CS2 is more than adequate and almost every feature added since is superfluous). They basically ran out of compelling features to add, which pushed them in the direction of subscriptions.

Not that I like subscriptions (quite the opposite) but I think most client only software will eventually hit that saturation point where sales dip and ongoing support becomes questionable.

I think this is more true of indie/small devs than of gigacorps, though. Adobe probably could’ve massages their strategy to make things work with single time purchases, but an indie doesn’t have nearly as much latitude.
Correct, in fact I would say that for the higher salary you are also giving up a lot of legal rights as well. The idea that you can be fired for any reason at anytime in a lot of the country is an incredibly stressful concept for a meaningful part of the population.
Context matters. In your specific first example, the person being misgendered was an employee and the person misgendering them was an employer. In other words, the tort is creating a hostile working environment; which absolutely should be illegal and has little if anything to do with freedom of speech.

Second example sounds bad on it's face, but I can't actually seem to find a source for it, so I don't have context. I can imagine several contexts in which that might actually be permissible conduct. For example, if the man was protesting by blocking a major thoroughfare, or trying to rile up BLM protesters into attacking him.
What's difficult about the anti-crypto discussions is that a pro-crypto decision has already been made by quite a lot of parties that just don't discus it publicly.

For every editorial or govt statement critical and concerned about cryptocurrency, there are, for lack of a better term, a corresponding number of "elites" plowing money into it, sitting on cryptocurrency company boards, building infrastructure and so on.

It sometimes feel like interference is being ran to buy time to get the "right people" strong hooks into crypto-infra before everyone else does.

Much more is shared about SF, probably because way more HN users are living there.
It has not been my experience in 15+ years. It seems it's not prohibited though.
Do you sleep? You, realistically, get only 15~20% of your waking hours to yourself. I know it goes in favor of the 'you are your job' camp, of which I am against, so what I'd say is 'choose wisely'.
ReiserFS is my favourite Linux filesystem. I use it where most people just use the default ext4. I was originally attracted to it for the large-number-of-small-files support it had.

I appreciate the ability to shrink/grow an existing ReiserFS, which I do often enough as I add new storage to my LVM layouts.

I have never lost a ReiserFS filesystem due to corruption, so the tooling seems sufficient for me.

I hope it stays in the kernel for a long time.
I literally discovered this just the other day, the whole concept is extremely intriguing but it hasn't been updated in some time (I'm guessing some forks have been though).

Relatedly, it would be pretty cool to be able to build your own filesystem features as layers on each other (such as block-level compression or encryption, block-level forward-error correction, cache promote, striping or other redundancy etc.). A modular FS with pluggable (but also upgradable) components and some sort of structured feature-flag schema metadata, and a way to migrate between variations (such as switching to a different compression or encryption algorithm).
So what people think of as a database is a database inside a database?
You can use obsidian.md with a plug-in for that.
Do zip files really offer performant random access with tens of millions of entries?
Rockstar/meh is perhaps rather untactful or even false way to describe situation. But level thing is not gonna solve the issue because company can't keep too much of difference in level if they both have same "X" years of experience. It will again lead to visible dissatisfaction or even lawsuits.
That's one heck of an edge case! How does fsck manage to completely confuse filesystem metadata and data like this? Surely this is only if there's corruption in the (outer) filesystem, right?

This is the part that doesn't make sense. I don't need a computer from a product manufacturer focused on something else. I already have 10+ computers within reach; 3 of them can stream just fine to my Oculus Quest.

Really, is the only way to create a VR PC to eschew all of that in favor of some controlled hardware ecosystem? I don't/won't buy it.
I guess that's a good way to get around the restrictions. However, that will undermine the intent at transparent pay fostering equality/fairness.
This is an interesting follow up to the morality discussion earlier in the week.[1]

Yes, but they wouldn't get an exact figure because it's a range.

Anyway it doesn't really matter; you apply for a job, if you don't meet the criteria, that's fine. But if you DO meet the criteria but pay you a little more than your previous job, but less than others with the same job, that's going to be tackled by this legislation.

The best they can do is that instead of underpaying you, they will say "You did not pass the interview process for this job".
> Even if you were a bit hyperbolic.

It was an intentional dramatization to showcase some slippery slope, tbh. Genuinely sorry if that sounded too harsh, or rude. That wasn't the intention.

> I’d rather have something that’s trivial for any software to work with everywhere forever. I know FLAC feels like forever. But, so did a lot of dead formats I used to work with.

I understand the fear and pain of obsolescence in the world of file formats. VQF is the first notable example in my mind, but we need to keep in mind that FLAC is proper FOSS, and it'll live on in one way or another. People still keep Commodore64 kernals, emulators alive. Similarly MiniDisc has a cult following. On the worst case, I can install an old distro to a VM, and convert my music via that VM to something more modern.

I personally don't think FLAC as an "Archival Format". It's more of a bona fide storage format for me. I'm a serious music listener, and I tag my archives ambitiously, and besides being lossless and provides space advantages, it supports proper tagging via ID3 tools and allows me to store a truckload of metadata with my music.

To prevent corruption in my archives, I'd rather store recovery data and take regular backups. There's no other way in my book to keep data safe.
You have no outgoings? Then sure, it's hard for me to suggest a comparison to you. I'm not sure it's up to me to suggest an analogy that works for every user on the internet however, pick something that you spend money on regularly.

The previous comment said cash is stable. I was illustrating that it is stably losing value.
Wow. That's just unacceptable for a "liberal democracy."
hehe, came here to post the same page :-) I'm using it every week since in the software development project I'm in we're using week numbers for all planning. Fun fact for vecka.nu, the favicon is updated each week so as to show the number of the week.
Work isn’t value. It’s cost. It’s not crystallized; the capacity to do that work is spent and gone. If you mine and sell a bitcoin, your profit is the revenue -minus- that work.

(Not anti-crypto, just contesting this point.)
That is what bonus structures are for. Where you can pay extra in addition in order to incentivise better outcomes for your business.

The salacious details are always part of this discussion and outside of a very carefully scoped conversation like was requested on the list I think that's always going to happen. On just a technical basis, though, I think bcachefs pays a lot of attention to many of the same issues ReiserFS does, gets more current maintenance, and is maintained more along the lines of kernel interfaces other filesystems use. That last one is the strongest point made in the email to the list.

The advantage of having the creator, designer, and lead maintainer available among free society is definitely real. Regardless of the murder - even if we can separate the man's technical work from the rest of his life activities - he's not doing a lot of work on his creation while he's in custody. He's certainly not going to be furloughed to hackathons or conferences from a murder sentence.
Can you cite some sources for your statement please?

I mean once this legislation passes, it'll be impossible (hopefully) for a pay gap to exist for the same job - assuming equal hours worked.

Anything involving authorization introduces the possibility of denial.
Features? No. If I'm not happy with how a product operates today, I'm not holding out hope for improvement in the future. Buy what it does today, not promises for tomorrow.

Security and Bug Fixes? Not indefinitely, but I would expect the minimum generally accepted consumer warranty protections in modern economies: a year? Two? I'm also happy to help out keeping things up to date, if its open source (not everyone can do that, but not everyone has to, that's the magic of software. and this is HackerNews, not Facebook).

Look, here's the reality: software has changed. You don't just get to charge $10/month, fail to get traction, then cry "people don't want to pay for high quality software, its all these hackernews luddite types who think everything should be open source". Office 365 is $5/mo. Apple's suite is ~free-$2/mo, with a device purchase (Apple Notes is probably the most-used note taking app on the planet). Google Workspace is $6/mo; it could literally just be Keep, it'd be 70% as functional as this product, and nearly half the price; oh, and it comes with the global standard of email inboxes, with a custom domain, global standard calendar provider, a terabyte of file upload, global near-standard office suite... Notion is $4/mo. That's your competition!

Sure, none of them do exactly the same thing; but they're pretty close, and people have an inelastic amount they're willing to stretch their monthly spend beyond these high value services to perfectly hone in on a workflow that works. It's the same kind of inelasticity that keeps Excel wildly popular despite tons of more nuanced competitors.

Here's my expectations, above all else: that in ten years, the data I've given this service will still be accessible, no rug pull, no pivot, no dirty acquisition. That's the trade-off you seem to be forgetting. The biggest risk to the users of most products isn't "paying enough to afford the developers necessary to maintain it and build it out"; it's "charging so much that they never gain traction, and disappear overnight". The way toward alleviating that fear, today, is one of extremes; you can either be a huge megacorp with so much tangential revenue & momentum that a rug pull is unlikely, or you can go the Obsidian.md route, not necessarily open-source but at least open, standards-compliant, useful, locally stored data. This product instead goes the 2010s VC-backed "just build a pretty product and charge a subscription people will come lol" route, and that route is destined for failure.

Or, you can keep complaining that people won't pay for software. In an era where more money is spent on software than at any other point in computing history. People pay for software. That's the problem. So, figure it out, or die; but don't blame consumers because you've got a suicide wish to be customers' 22nd subscription service that's marginally different than two others they already pay for.

It is certainly not hard to destroy the machines. But getting the expertise and data is worth a lot anyways, if you are already at this stage.
I mean yes? the extra costs of handling cash when most business is digital are pretty easy to imagine
"really early days" is an argument that a lot more work is needed, not that everyone should go all in knowing there is going to be a lot of collateral damage along the way even _if_ it works out.

Yikes. If I'm understanding that correctly every chip that came back from MPW-1 was more or less unusable - they were all required to gate access to I/Os behind the same management processor provided by the company organising the run, and because that management processor was broken they couldn't configure the I/Os to route through to their own designs.

You are missing a key element of context in all of this. This protest took place "online" as much as in person. This was a giant photo op designed to generate propaganda to drum up support for a burgeoning handful of trumpist/brexit style political movements that largely propagate through social media platforms.

Exercising traditional forms of enforcement (as seen in almost every other protest in Canada in the past 20 years) would have resulted in the generation of sensationalist content that would have stoked a wildfire in the social media support for these movements. (Look at how much the network nodes of the movement pushed the single instance of violence - a horse that got spooked and trampled a protestor.) This is the reason why force was not used, and non violent/commercial methods were used instead.
Yes. How many ways do you have to reliably monetize a portion of that $100 that goes to the utility company, though? At its core, proof of work (not Bitcoin's anymore because of ASICs), allows that.
Hi, I'm the author of this project (I didn't post this on HN someone else did). We have implemented NT processes. All device drivers and user executable are NT processes (created by NtCreateProcess or RtlCreateUserProcess). What we don't have is Win32 process, because there is no Win32 subsystem yet.

My experience with union guys is that the contractors know who is good and who isn't, and the bad or slow workers get a lot less work or get returned to the hiring hall in favor of a different worker.
