> What has this got to do with making Docker images smaller?

"Docker images" are .tar.gz files containing some binary executable.

The article starts by putting an entire Linux distribution into the .tar.gz (Ubuntu, Alpine, etc.), then goes through several ways to try and make the result smaller.

Nix does things the other way: the .tar.gz will only contain the specified binary, plus its dependencies. It's minimal by default (although there are still tricks to making things smaller, e.g. taking dependencies from `pkgsMusl` instead of `pkgs`, to avoid glibc)
It's just for fun.
You can't take this kind of website serious.

There is a website that I know since the 90's called The Death Clock (http://deathclock.com). It's pretty much the same website since then.

The problem here is give your actual personal data to people you don't know how they will use it. So don't.

Btw, I'll die in:

- The Death Clock: April 2051;

- Population.io: July 2059

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At this point, I am not sure we will get the end of the story.

I am almost glad that HBO killed my love for GoT.

I totally understand that George R.R. Martin is not our bitch but when someone creates a book series that lots of people come to love, you feel cheated when you learn about all the side projects when the main project doesn't seem to evolve.

Anyway, I read the 5 books, absolutely loved them. I think I'll just stop caring and try to remember these 5 amazing books as the end of the story.

UK to Microsoft: So when are you going to get rid of the algorithms?
His readers (not audience) paid to buy the books he had written. They didn't pay him to write books in the future. I really don't understand this bizarre "fandom" idea that a writer owes his readers something beyond what they have paid for. It's a polite fiction that some writers unfortunately indulge, but the fact that you've paid a small amount of money to read a book doesn't impose any future obligation on its author.

His publishers might have cause to be annoyed if they have a contract for more books, but the readers, however disappointed, don't have a moral right to dictate a writer's future labour. And that's what writing novels is—it's work for money, like programming or plumbing, not some mystical calling or vocation.
The European rules for emergency medical kit (I guess FAA rules are very similar) also automatic defibrilators are increasingly being included in these kits:

CONTENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL KITS

(a) Emergency medical kits should be equipped with appropriate and sufficient medications and instrumentation. However, these kits should be supplemented by the operator according to the characteristics of the operation (scope of operation, flight duration, number and demographics of passengers, number of decks, etc.).

(b) The following should be included in the emergency medical kit:

(1) Equipment

(i) sphygmomanometer — electronic recommended;

(ii) stethoscope;

(iii) syringes and needles;

(iv) intravenous cannulae (a sufficient supply of intravenous cannulae should be available, subject to the amount of intravenous fluids carried on board);

(v) oropharyngeal airways (three sizes);

(v) tourniquet;

(vi) disposable gloves;

(vii) needle disposal box;

(viii) one or more urinary catheter(s), appropriate for either sex, and anaesthetic gel;

(ix) aspirator;

(x) blood glucose testing equipment;

(xi) scalpel.;

(xii) pulse oximeter; and

(xiii) pneumothorax set.

(2) Instructions: the instructions should contain a list of contents (medications in trade

names and generic names) in at least two languages (English and one other). This should

include information on the effects and side effects of medications carried. There should also be basic instructions for use of the medications in the kit and guidance for conversion

of units for the blood glucose test. The operator should make the instructions readily available. If an electronic format is available, then all instructions should be kept on the same device. If a paper format is used, then the instructions should be kept in the same

kit with the applicable equipment and medication.

(3) Medications

(i) coronary vasodilator e.g. glyceriltrinitrate-oral;

(ii) antispasmodic;

(iii) epinephrine/adrenaline 1:1 000;

(iv) adrenocorticoid;

(v) major analgesic;

(vi) diuretic — injectable;

(vii) antihistamine — oral and injectable (including paediatric form);

(viii) sedative/anticonvulsant — oral plus injectable and/or rectal sedative;

(ix) medication for hypoglycaemia (e.g. hypertonic glucose);

(x) antiemetic — injectable;

(xi) antibiotic — injectable form — Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime;

(xii) bronchial dilator — inhaled (disposable collapsible spacer);

(xiii) IV fluids in appropriate quantity e.g. sodium chloride 0.9 % (minimum 250 ml); and

(xiv) acetylsalicylic acid — oral — for coronary use.

> grew up in the Wild West era of early internet freedom

The Wild West era of Internet freedom was much more tame than that.

Sure, you had trolls and other nasties, but not only were those trolls for the most part doing their mischief for personal entertainment, their impact was relatively localized - their trolling didn't scale.

Now compare this to an industrial-scale trolling & spamming operation where billions are poured into research, development and infrastructure.

You're comparing a small-scale spammer using their email client to spam manually against an industrial-scale automated spamming operation. The first one can be dealt with locally, the second one might require some out-of-band intervention.

Also, back in the day, you didn't need to go into IRC or the dark corners on the Internet to participate in society day to day. Nowadays, you have to be in the social media cesspool to even be able to lookup some business' opening hours or contact them.

> Does anyone here really think there is an “addictiveness” feature in the Facebook algorithm that can be toggled on and off like this article suggests?

Yes - just give the user a chronological feed with no extra bullshit inserted into it and let the user choose what they want to see based on their follows, instead of the engagement-maximizing algorithm choosing for them.
Maybe not if the surgery was successful. As long as the condition is stable, it might not matter where they land. Might as well land close to wherever she needs to be, instead of in a completely different country.

Hi Hacker News,

Storage block was the last missing piece to enable developers to make any product multiplayer. Let’s look at the Liveblocks React, Redux, Zustand integrations in more detail…

With Storage block, you can synchronize your application state between users, while Liveblocks automatically handles all the conflicts behind the scene.

With Presence block, you can make your users feel as if they were together in the same room by adding features like live cursors, live selection, and live avatar stack to your product.

When you combine Presence and Storage together, you can create incredible and performant multiplayer experiences. Our integrations with React, Redux, and Zustand enable you to convert an existing non-collaborative product into one in minutes.

When you’re done making your product multiplayer, you can then use Analytics block to get a real-time understanding on how people are collaborating in your product, helping you make informed product decisions and iterate with confidence.

Most importantly, we’re building this in the open to help create the best real-time collaboration infrastructure the developer community is asking for. We'll be around all day to answer any questions you have about Liveblocks — ask us anything!

Thanks,
Steven

Be very careful to consider the situation and weapon in light of the times not from x decades on. This was a new weapon that promised efficiency - one plane could do what 100-200 and the right conditions could do. The firebombing of Tokyo that destroyed 16sq mi of the city was more severe and the us had the will to keep doing it.

From the us leadership point of view, testing their investment, avoiding an invasion’s casualties, avoiding the blockade and avoiding soviet success had their advantages. There was no reservoir of goodwill left in the pacific war. And it drew a line in the sand for postwar politics which, of course, could not last. And they knew that war fatigue was present in the us.

Always been more interested in this sort of answer from the tech or scientific community, especially after reading previous threads on the 'ufo glare'
So i'm not an anaesthetist and therefore I claim no high ground with regard to this rusty attempt at respiratory and gas physiology -

When I read it initially I thought - that makes sense, but I just did the equations, and basically the thing you're worried about is that the pocket of air that is outside the lung is going to change volume significantly and lead to the worst case outcome, a tension pneumo.

But the volume of air outside the lung is going to be at cabin pressure, since that's where it developed. Cabin pressure is ~75kPa.
Ground pressure is ~100kPa. The lung is going to exert more pressure than the gas so if you plug all that into boyle's law then you get a 75% reduction (or actually, you don't need to plug it into a calculator, because if you can't work out the percentage of 75/100 you're in trouble, so zero points to me). which would improve/stabilise.
However maybe they were concerned the change in pressure could lead to a disequilibrium between lung pressure and potential space (of which there is always some due to breathing, and that sucking pressure into what should be a vacuum is what caused the pneumothorax - air leaking through a disruption in lung tissue) - and because the pressure differential is in favour of a flow into the low pressure zone, and that differential has increased, they're worrying about it shifting materially in a matter of minutes which could get bad quickly (particularly when you consider the potential for any leakage to become progressive, rather than, say, self-limiting)

I don't know enough of this sort of edge case medicine to make any sort of definitive statements but if that was the physiology, maybe they decided it was out of the question to risk it

---

I just realised I didn't really answer your question - which relates to, i guess, basically being at cruising altitude as it develops. Because it's steady state (ie inspired air/atmospheric air is going to end up similar pressure to trapped air) basically not significant in terms of progression until you get to blood oxygenation thresholds - because there's a lower partial pressure of O2 in cabin air compared to on the ground, the decreased lung volume is going to cause these issues to become apparent more rapidly.

So it shouldn’t affect progression/growth of the pneumothorax, but it will exacerbate the physiological deterioration

> it's clear that someone at his own company dropped the ball and put the blame on him

Hard disagree. Why is he reporting it to his own company? It's in his company's best interest for a competitor to have a security issue. He should have gone directly to the competitor's security team. Could have potentially gone anonymous. Could have gone through another person. A reputable security researcher. Lots of other things he could have done, but didn't.
Perhaps you can't read. I said "...some responsibility..." That's because I don't believe it's "...all on parents". You can win any argument by misquoting the other person but nothing actually gets resolved that way.

Straight question: why did you misrepresent what I said?

He is a machine, also gets a lot of goodwill from the way he interact with fans. He's the one author where I read books before the series is finished, because I feel I can trust him.

As for the backend, it's a Flask-based API. I'll look into your suggestion though!
> I think of any tech product as a tool similar to a knife.

Tools are designed for their use-case. A butter knife won’t be useful for stabbing, while a hunting knife will excel at it. An airliner delivers passengers, a bomber delivers destruction. Both are planes, both are tools, and both have wildly different applications.

If you knowingly keep developing a tech product which actively harms people at a societal and individual level, you don’t get to hide behind “it’s just a tool, it can be used for good or bad”. It will be used for whatever you designed it, and Facebook is designed to empower its creator with utter disregard for anyone else. You don’t use Facebook, it uses you.
You're right, nobody should be harassing the authors. That doesn't mean they can't voice their disappointment, even publicly, even in places where the authors might read it and feel bad and cause other authors to write defensive posts about not being anyone's bitch.

While the people harassing the authors are a bigger pain in the ass, those people at least still care. The bigger problem will be all the fans who silently drift away. The ones who, when a friend asks them about the series, will tell them "yeah, don't bother with that, it's never going to be finished".

I've worked in the field, even with the biggest and fastest ECU's in existance, Formula 1, with 10Khz cycles on 4Ghz CPU's

we never saw the need to use the other cores. the CPU is a few million times faster than the cycles, if there is a problem it's a HW IO or blocking driver.
even with normal 500Hz ECU's you can always upgrade the CPU freq to run faster, than needing more cores. even better would be to use better drivers with zero copy and MMU access.

it's nice that threading got better recently in embedded Realtime OS's, HW always gets better, but certainly drivers not and SW not. and developers even less.
maybe they think rust will help, but then they should chose a proper concurrency-safe system. certainly not rust, which only lies about it.

also this thing is only simulation verified, not formally verified.

Well the idea is that penalties should be high enough to not only offset any gains you'd get from breaking the rules but leave you in a worse position to deter breaking the rules to begin with.
Unfortunately, the problem is the same with many compiled application out there, not just ML. My rule of thumb in using models from these public model zoo is to always use a separate container instance (or Colab) to check the source code.

Then either convert such model to some standardized format like ONNX, which might not be possible for some state-of-the-art models with custom ops afaik.

Or you could just load the torch model first, then load the model state dict separately. Avoid using command like torch.load() since it uses pickle module implicitly, since it is possible to construct malicious pickle data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling.
meta comment. Often people working on a big system like this aren't the same people who would know about flatpak or flathub and nor do they have to be the same people to implement that packaging.

Alan Graham. founder of Community First Village, a 27-acre community in East Austin that provides affordable, permanent housing for the homeless believes that the single greatest cause of homelessness is “a profound, catastrophic loss of family,” whether by forces like death or divorce, or institutional failures in the criminal justice and foster care systems.

“The Community First Village is the recognition that human beings need to be in relationship with each other, and that housing will never solve homelessness but community will,”

Does housing availability have an effect on homeless, sure. But addiction, mental health, and trauma, play a much more prevalent role.

This is medium tech: mecanically precise design (motors, alignment system, etc) and in many countries it is a patent mine field.

> Are you suggesting here that bigotry against Nazis is not justified?

What exactly do you expect me to answer here?

If I say no, I created kind of an ex falso quodlibet situation, a contradiction (from some points of view)

If I say yes, I am labeled as a Nazi, because what else could I be?

This technique didn't work in ancient Rome, it doesn't now.

I never was a Nazi, nor will I ever be one. I can sleep well saying that not once in my life have I felt superior to anyone because my skin color is white or because I am male. The thought simply never occurred to me (apart from analyzing the existence of such thoughts in others)

But, yes, I want to reach out to Nazis, because the majority of them are "lost souls" (no, I am not religious by any means) and not the hardcore people that really know what they are doing.

It's not quite the same, but I keep a similar file that notes: installed packages from the distribution repository, installed packages from AUR, enabled services, and installed extensions from programs where they can be installed from the command line. (Plus I'll note what has been removed, so I don't forgetfully install things that I've had problems with in the past.) Since everything is one item per line with few extraneous notes, it is easy to pull into Vim and modify into a script.

Properly taken notes are much more than a memory aide.
