Veloren uses some native libraries, so IIRC getting it to work under Rosetta was not completely painless either. That said, the reason native M1 builds aren't currently offered is that Apple makes it a pain to compile from other architectures, not that Veloren doesn't compile for M1 (it does). I believe native M1 builds are actually in progress right now. So is the chmod issue, which AFAIK we only figured out the root cause of relatively recently (September?).

The Race to Rescue Ukraine’s Power Grid from Russia
Oh, don't worry, it has been the shibboleth word for many years way before this invasion. The beauty here that even if you know the word it is somewhat hard for a person to learn and remember how to pronounce it. I've tried to teach a couple of my non ukrainian friends for many years, they rarely get it nearly right and cannot repeat consistently.
Besides there a few backup words like this, if you need to verify.

Yes and no.

A lot of yes, because most work is not important. Any developer-idiot could do the task, more or less about as well, with very little difference for the user/output. Most tasks dont really matter.

Sometimes the work we do is more foundational though. We are laying out systems or structures that will be built on ongoingly. Ironically usually the best thing one can usually do here is work really hard to write as little code as possible, to invent the least systems that we can. Architects's perspective is to try to frame the problem, to try to build a pattern for future devs to use, but this so often ends up a vainglorious quest at solving yesterdays problems while making tomorrow difficult. Usually some helper libs reinforcing the de-jure language libraries are far more effective than a totalizing framing. Rarely are fancy system flourishes good or needed.

Still, I cant help but think most programming has yet to be discovered. Programming as we know it is very limited, the systems & patterns we have serve us well for building big, tightly coupled consumer apps & services, which require expert training in development & lengthy onboarding in the company to begin to have any competency in. The while system feels bogus. So little gain has been made in making comouting personal, in unlocking the magic jinn's within. This write-once understand-never model of programming feels mortally limited & hazarous to both computing & society's general welfare.

Thinking long & hard about what programming & systemcraft goes in to building things, & turning this from an esoteric procedural work which must be stepped through to something declarative & intentional, a clearly defined system of capabilities & actors that bespeak what they do (rather than merely compute outputs), is an enticing alluring bright future that i think, i hope, i believe gets us away from the bleak sad world where no one cares how anything is built, where the insides are hidden away happenstance trash, where quality is not regarded in the faintest until well well after the fact that it's causing far far too many defects.

There's so many hopeful visions & frontiers for better programming, so many reasons to care deeply about programming. But the hopes & visions fall upon such a deaf unhearing unfeeling unseeing world, a world woth no taste, no refinement, no care, no discernment. Programmers in large part have stopped caring because no one else has the aptitude required to care & invest, & alas, we have done very little to on oard the rest of the world into caring about, being able to engage honestly & directly in computing. The cycle is broken, and we have become sad coding machines, with the means we engineer relegated to irrelevance.
Ask HN: I'm So Lonely
I don't know if this is the right place for this but here are my stats. I'm a 32yo male, divorced with 2 kids whom I have little access to at the moment. My childhood friendships have withered, my divorce left me untrusting of women (at least for now). I work alone and don't have many opportunities to meet new people organically.

The thing is I don't even like hanging out with people most of the time but I get into this space where it feels like a biological necessity.

Does anyone have any tips on how to give myself attention? Or, in other words, how can I learn to be alone without feeling lonely? I feel like I need this lifeskill in order to proceed in my life.

I have a pattern of loneliness pushing me into making very foolish decisions.
It's useful to be able to calculate the density of information. For example, redbean uses it to determine whether or not it's profitable to apply gzip. It has nothing to do with isa. That's kind of the point. For example, I could have written a routine that said, don't bother compressing files with the extension jpeg, jpg, png, gz, zip, etc. or I could have used information theory like I did. Another cool example is I've never seen any code that has higher information density than biology.
There was a point in time that population growth was the single issue on everybody's mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth

The reason it's no longer the hot topic is because industrialised nations' populations do not grow - as living standards increase, birth rates approach parity or slight shrinkage.

So the good news is that to control population growth we should do the thing that we should be doing anyway: get the whole world up to a sustainable high living standard.
The control clunkiness is part of the advantage of it being a party FPS, because it compresses the skill spectrum. The difference between a strong and weak Goldeneye player is considerably less than the difference between a strong and weak player for twin stick FPSes.
The comment I was responding to was specifically talking about oil and gas futures. Not general stock prices, or which projects are started.

My non-expert understanding is that Futures are a specific financial instrument with set expiry dates, and are about locking in prices for these commodities at a certain date. The vast majority of these would be expiring in under low digit years. I am arguing that the ramp up time for fusion to go from "feasible design" to "having a significant impact on the the amount of oil/gas consumed" is much longer than most futures expiry dates, and would therefore have little impact.

That said, I guess people can (and do) buy futures with expiry dates for more than 10 years out, presumably they just have to find a counter party. Is this a significant amount invested? Bringing me back around to my original (and honestly asked) question: How many years out do oil/gas futures project?

> The agile boys use user stories to capture requirements. A user story is a statement in the format “As some user I want to do some action so that some reason”.

This isn't, strictly speaking, true. There is nothing in Agile that requires you write "User Stories" at all, let alone this specific style of user story (the "as a _ I want _ so that _" style is called the Connextra template, and it was created as an experiment, not a doctrine).

Alistair Cockburn calls stories, "promissory notes for future conversation." That's it. They can be one word, they can be a sentence. If you're writing anything down in your story, it's to remind yourself of the conversation you had with your team, not to create a contract where you meet the requirements.

If you can't have a conversation with the team, and the team doesn't include a person who has skills to engage with the customer regularly, then yeah, you shouldn't be attempting Agile. Saying "User Stories don't work for teams who can't talk to the customer" is like saying, "A bicycle can't work without both wheels." Duh.

One of the four things, so one full quarter, of the Agile Manifesto is, "Customer collaboration over contract negotiation." [0]

If you need a contract, you should probably rethink something. Either you're not really trying to be agile, or you don't really need a contract, or something very rare and not-normally-your-process is happening.

Honestly, this is probably another case of confusing Scrum with Agile. They are not the same. The author claims to not have much experience with "Rapid Prototyping" (the concept not the tools), and in that sense I would humbly argue that the author, therefore, does not have much experience working on an "actually" agile team.

[0] - https://agilemanifesto.org/ I always feel bad quoting sections of the Agile Manifesto, as I think it's so short it should be read in full every time it's relevant, but it's hard to slip into a comment like this without derailing the remaining part of the message entirely. Please do give it a read, even if you've read it before.

What are you doing to foolishly solve your loneliness? Might give us an idea of what specifically makes you lonely.
Because then it will be regarded a "softer" engineering domain and the market will implicitly price the alleged lack of rigor accordingly. Just take a look at the gender ratio for "human computer interaction (HCI)" students in CS academia, aka UI/UX designers. It is important that we don't funnel aspiring female engineers into a less rigorous domain just because it is more popular with their gender. The education system should not reinforce stereotypes at such an early stage. If they still want dedicate their career to fiddling with CSS variables after 4 years of education, great. They can do that after mastering foundational CS concepts so the system doesn't accidentally segregate and create a caste of second-class workers.
I don't suggest you try to adapt to being alone so much. I suggest you get more people around you.

1. Use your health insurance to get a therapist. This is a good outlet and can make you more socially attractive since you won't be carrying around as much unspoken weight.

2. Work really hard to get more people around you. The world is opening up after Omicron. Be resourceful. Make a list of all the various in-person social outlets you can find and start going to them.

3. Get "How to Win Friends and Influence People" on Audible and listen to that repeatedly until you've grokked it.

4. Open yourself up to being friends with people you might not think you could be friends with. Right now you're in need--don't be too picky, within reason.

I believe in you. You can get more people in your life.
I had a look at this library today.

Quote the author: "The script library is implemented entirely in Go, and does not require any external userland programs." Sorry but that's not scripting anymore. We all like using userland programs! it is The Way.

Most programs tell you why they failed on stderr. Seems like stderr is lost when a pipe component fails. Strangely stderr and stdout are conflated in the pipe structure - there is no way to get stderr!

You just get the numeric exit status.

IO redirection appears to be missing.

Difficult to use in production.

> but every time I see/hear about it I have a pretty negative reflexive reaction.

That's what I am trying to figure out. Why is every reaction that I get on HN is negative?

Everybody says it's bad, but nobody clarifies.

The forum being HN irks me more.
I had the same reaction when I read 1984. I went into it with all these preconceived notions about what the book was about. Of course, those topics and themes were present in the book, but what struck me the most was how beautiful the writing was.
I've tried to become competent in anything but front-end webdev, yet the jobs all seem to be in React/etc.

Looking through recent HN Who's Hiring, there are very few postings for "embedded / STM32 / FreeRTOS", and tons for "React". The pay seems to be much better for webdev also!
> no compression, no dedup and yet can only hit ~ 3.5 GB/s reads (TrueNAS Core, EPYC 7443P, Samsung 980PRO, 256 GiB)

Hmmm, that 3.5GB/s sound low. From rough memory of doing initial storage benchmarking of our "new" Hetzner dedicated boxes a few months ago (AX51-NVMe, https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax51-nvme), they were giving about 10GB/s with mirrored NVMe drives.

Just logged into one of those boxes now, and it's running 2x 1TB Samsung PM9A1 drives (https://semiconductor.samsung.com/ssd/pc-ssd/pm9a1/), compression is on (lz4), and dedup is off.

(Didn't do any real tuning at the time, as these specs were already far in excess of what's needed for these servers.)

Would enabling lz4 compression be useful for your use case?
Firstly, I don’t agree with the notion that frontend is easier or that women shouldn’t pursue frontend. But I will say that it’s a repeated trend that when women enter an industry, pay for that industry in particular goes down (this happened to teachers for example).

I like working in coffee shops. I feel social without having to interact much.
When I get lonely, I talk myself into making decisions that are not smart. I know I'm making the decision irrationally but I feel helpless to do anything about it. It's like I watch myself make the horrible decision, knowing it s a horrible decision but doing it anyway usually because it'll provide some relief from the loneliness. The most impactful foolish decision I made is getting married to a woman I knew was bad for me.
For a repeating meeting I think the construct you want is actually a datetime, generally.

E.g., a weekly meeting is not a meeting that happens on one particular timestamp and then repeats every 24*7 hours. If you hit daylight savings time, you want a 9am meeting to still be on the "new" 9am, not shift to 10am or 8am.
It's a poor substitute, but it's what I have done: Devise a project that excites you, and submerge yourself in it. Do be aware that the years will pass by far more rapidly than you expect. It's temporizing, but sometimes you have to do that. I have found some success with a close friend with who I share a compelling interest. For me it's been fishing and prospecting for gold.
I'm sorry you're suffering. What you're going through is part of the human condition and nothing wrong with you. I'm glad you're thinking in terms of how to change yourself to be comfortable, rather than seeking advice on how to fix the world to be comfortable for you, which is not really possible.

I have done a simple practice for many years that alleviates all kinds of suffering, loneliness being just one common kind. It's described well in this book: https://library.dhammasukha.org/uploads/1/2/8/6/12865490/the...

The basic idea is this. You have to train the mind, a bit like how you'd train a puppy, except of course that you have a lot more material that needs to be configured, so it requires more patience. When the mind comes and disturbs you about something (usually with the intent to help you be a successful animal), you do some very simple steps to soothe the mind about that issue and reduce the likelihood of the mind bothering you about that again. In this way, you gradually get more and more peace and happiness that seems to come out of you, not in dependence on worldly circumstances.

May you be well, happy, and peaceful.

1. The word nudnik derives from Yiddish. It can be roughly translated to "busybody" or "nag." LION KOPPMAN & STEVE KOPPMAN, A TREASURY OF AMERICAN-JEWISH FOLKLORE 232 (First Jason Anderson Inc. 1998) (1996) (defining a nudnik as a "pest, gossip, or busybody"); LEO ROSTEN, THE NEW JOYS OF YIDDISH 272 (Lawrence Bush ed., 2001) (defining a nudnik as "[a] pest, a nag, an annoyer, a monumental bore").

Yes. We get paid by adding value, not lines of code. Sometimes a spreadsheet is worth more than any amount of code.
When we approach $Billions$ a rational unmoral actor would start looking at other means of hastening the demise of those apparent scams. The most obvious one would be founders having "accidents", as scams of this caliber are rarely institutionalized and heavily rely on main actor pulling the strings (like Bernie). Every pyramid scheme has its peak, cut it off and dominoes should fall.
I've done both at a decently high level (leading teams to do both, if that means anything to you), and I can say for certain that there is an entire order of magnitude fewer problems working on the frontend than working on the backend.

I can also say hiring for a frontend dev does not mean they can do backend work, whereas a backend dev (in my experience) is able to jump into the frontend with relatively little friction when needed.

YMMV of course, but this has been what I've see in in my ~20 years.
