In my case, adopting Nix was a response to having a poor onboarding process for new engineers. It was always fully automated, but it wasn't reliable before nix. So somebody would join the team, and it was embarrassing because the first day would be them troubleshooting a complex build process to get it to work on their machine. Not a great first impression.

So I adopted Nix "in anger" and now new machines always build successfully on the first try.

For me it was easy to set up. 80% done on the first day. It helped that I understood the conceptual model and benefits first. There's a lot of directions you can take it, I'd recommend getting something really simple working then iterating. Don't try to build the Sistine Chapel with all the different things integrated on day one.

It's hard to overstate how well that decision has worked out for me. Computers used to stress me out a lot more because of dependencies and broken builds. Now I have a much healthier relationship with computers.
Since you're talking about video editing, the lack of HDR is very nearly a deal breaker for that professional market. Also this is an 8bit + FRC panel if you care about that sort of thing.

Regardless multi-monitor setups exist and are well supported, so it's not hard to get both a 4k preview at 1:1 scaling and have plenty of room for controls by just running 2 displays.

It'd be nice to have it all - 5k, >60hz, and a decent HDR support. Even just 90hz would be a good improvement, but 120hz gets you zero pulldown for 24fps video! But alas that display doesn't exist. This display doesn't seem to really strike a good balance of what's achievable, it feels like a stop gap placeholder for the now canceled 27" iMac
At FB's scale, there's not much of a functional difference between ad moderation and content moderation. Both are intractably huge. (The barrier for entry into the ad market is not much higher than posting -- your ad can meet 1K eyeballs for less than ten bucks.)

Again, acknowledging this fact does not need to be understood as a defense of Meta.
That sounds really interesting. If you have a write-up about how it's built, the decisions that went into it, and the problems you've had to solve, I would absolutely read it!
The Windows ecosystem mess is why Apple says capabilities may vary.

- Yes, plenty of people including USB-C advocates like Benson Leung really wish NVIDIA didn't drop it for the 30-series. Most new laptops have an appropriate port, however, and probably at least a quarter of new motherboards.

- A low bandwidth cable should work; if link training appropriately trains an HBR2 link then it should light up at 4k60 (or 5k60 if DSC is supported.) The more likely issue is that his original cable was one of the majority of USB-C -> DisplayPort cables that is unidirectional in the wrong direction. They only advertise USB-C -> DP, after all.

- The internal webcam and speakers are connected to the USB 2.0 bus; you can verify this in System Profiler on a Mac when connected via Thunderbolt. Whatever is going wrong with the Wacom link is not because USB 2.0 doesn't have enough bandwidth.
Ask HN: Can someone recommend a more stable alternative to GitHub Actions?
One of the things that I love about Github Actions is the experience of having a single user experience for continuous integration and continuous deployment. Last year we switched to Github Actions because of Bitbucket Pipelines instability. Recently Github Actions has been an even worse experience than Bitbucket Pipelines was.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with stable hosted CI/CD offerings that might have a similar experience to Github Actions from a development standpoint with a lot more platform stability.
I found literally the most conservative statistic I could for how dangerous drunk driving is - that someone whose impairment is literally on the threshold of legal is 3x as likely to have an accident than a sober driver.

I could have gone for a shock stat - 100000 people a year are injured in accidents involving drunk drivers. 10000 people are killed.

I could have taken the position that a typical drunk driver is probably actually 10x as likely to have an accident as a sober driver, based on those NHTSA numbers.

But I didn’t need to to make the point that a self driving car could be literally twice as likely as an average driver to crash and that would still be ‘better than a drunk driver’.
Groove shark was the best.
The thing is, you spent probably a lot of time on things that were granted elsewhere and while the rest of the world is improving on those tech you keep your home grown solution that is harder and harder to maintain.
Plus the knowledge that is not transferable.

> Containers only give reproducible deployments, not builds, so they would be a step down.

This is not true, if you use a docker image A with specific version to build then the result is reproducible.

That's what most people should be doing, you pin versions in your build image that's it.

> Kubernetes has mostly focused on stateless applications so far. That's the easy part

Kubernetes can run database, and stateless application is not a solved problem, I mean how does your services get restarted on your system, is it something that you had to re-create as well?
One thing that is not mentioned is security. There are java libraries for almost everything. And when something is implemented in Java it is much harder to exploit.

Python and node are both great but mostly just wrap C libraries, so If openssl or your database driver has a bug your fancy interpreted/sandboxed language does not help.

Java has existed a long time and developers have had time to reimplement many popular protocols and libraries. This can sometimes cause few % points of performance, but you get stability and the excellent monitoring&debugging.

For example, if I need to accept images from the internet I would use Java since there are pure java image libraries that cannot be exploited with unexpected data. At most it fails and everything is cleaned up.
Yes, the initial projected release date was in 2019. It got delayed even before the pandemic for several reasons and in the end the final version was finished and started shipping late 2020 (with the first batches shipped to people who opted to receive them in late 2019), but at this point it turned out to be problematic to produce in enough quantity due to chip shortage, which is why the shipments are still ongoing.
“ Presumably this "you" is the parent. ”

No. I explicitly stated that I was using “you” as the impersonal pronoun, which English otherwise lacks (although “one” is often used instead)
To be fair they may have just realized that MongoDB is sort of meh and decided to change to something better
This does seem crazy to me. I've probably toured 30-40 datacenter facilities in my career, and they ALWAYS have a big red EPO (Emergency Power Off) button at the major exits to each datahall. I've been in plenty of facilities all over the US, Europe and Japan. (I've also had to deal with the fallout from outages caused by someone accidentally pushing that button. I think they thought it would open the door. Later on those buttons were always covered with a clear plastic housing)

Though never in France and everything I've spent time in was a a retail or wholesale provider, eg selling space to other companies. Not something owned and operated by a single company.
So, as it turns out, surprise, those slots in the Studio are not SSD slots, and the boot volume is not an SSD. They are slots for raw NAND storage, the cards are simply NAND memory chips. The SSD controller is integrated in the SoC. So an SSD will not work in those slots, period, not ever.
Glad to see Clojure continuing to improve. Racket borrows a lot from Clojure^1,2,3 so its success fuels ours as well. With the other post on here about Java 18 including Pattern Matching, I'm glad that good ideas continue to cross pollinate between different languages. Programming is still a young field compared to other professions, and there is still a lot of good things left to discover!

5K resolution is perfect since it can drive retina level at 1440p, the best pixel density at 27 inches. (Personal preference obv)
More fairly to GitLab it was the underlying server that broke initially. The issue from there was that I couldn't restore from the backup as the newly installed server was also a newer version of GitLab

Tried restoring it to the older version to run through the upgrade path and the process didn't want to work. Wish I could be more specific here but I gave up on it and decided it'd just be quicker to whip up a script to recreate all the groups/projects/CICD in a new install and push repos from backups

Don't let your GitLab server get outdated and don't consider it a valid backup unless it was taken with the latest version to avoid the same

Also it wasn't relevant here but make sure you're backing up the etc files too, while that wasn't an issue for me it could easily trip you over in a worst case scenario ( https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/backup-restore/backup.html#ba... )

Not a complaint, it's just one of the hats that needs wearing sometimes, would have been easier on me if someone else was handling it though :P
This is incorrect. Yes, Dark Matter is matter that does not emit light but it does not absorb nor reflect light as well. In other words, it does not interact with the electromagnetic force. That makes it extremely exotic.

And, no, the Earth is not made of dark matter.
Thanks! Yes, we only operate in the US at this time.
Someone did me the favor years ago of pestering me to read As We May Think.

If you haven't, you should. It's interesting on its own, but particularly because it was published in the summer before WWII ended (when he was running what to me sounds like a precursor to DARPA). After the war he pushed for the creation of the National Science Foundation.

I mention the date specifically because I had to triple check it because there is no fucking way someone wrote this in 1945. It was, and he did.
Legal liability seems like a much cleaner way to define autonomy for the general public than the SAE levels. If the person is responsible anything the car is doing is assistance or aid. If the manufacturer owns liability it's some level of autonomous. There needs to be some kind of law about how long the car has to alert the driver before handing over liability, but beyond that it's a much cleaner divide.

This would also solve issues like Tesla naming their level 2 systems 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self Driving'. I love my Model 3, but those names are deeply misleading at best and downright fraudulent at worst. The FTC really needs to step in and regulate what manufacturers can claim based on liability.
You can even go further: tell your employees that you'll be sending out fake test bribe offers, which they'll be expected to report, and that they'll be rewarded for doing so.

Similar to how IT in many large companies nowadays runs internal phishing tests.

That changes the risk/reward, so while every reported bribe is a nice cash bonus, accepting any received bribe becomes significantly riskier, and by 'practicing' bribe reporting it becomes the default reaction.
How do they know that their contributors never took a look at Microsoft source code?
Then have a designated driver. It's not complicated. If you go out to a bar and cannot arrange for a designated driver than don't drink.
I would guess the fact that its a highly proprietary design that is designed to specifically scale to massive amounts of parallel threads on specific physical hardware devices
This is something I’ve battled with personally quite a bit. In my current role I’m sure I don’t do the world harm, but I’d like to provide more benefit. I’ve dabbled with contributing to open source as well as volunteering my time as a developer with non profits. I find both of these to be rewarding, but not sustainable as a source of income. Instead I’m not trying to work on larger projects at work which benefit multiple teams. Personally I find this kind of larger impact work to be the most rewarding and if I can convince my company to open source any part of this then my contribution can have even greater impact.
You don't rent a log house to operate a glass manufacture inside! Each construction have limits of usage, quality or quantity wise, you know that.

Those put their operation into a place must ascertein that the location can withstand the operations and its risks. Even renting a flat put limits on your activity in the contract, what you can or cannot do there.

If they requested the proper fire rating and safety measures then it is not their mistake being deceived. Otherwise it is.
Ask HN: What's lacking in your internal build and deploy pipeline
I work on a Kubernetes based infrastructure platform and am interested to know what issues do service developers face.

We can constrain the conversation to stateless services and batch workloads, keeping DBs outside, since they require a more hand managed solution from what I see.

How do you think of:
1. Tenancy
2. Multi-cluster strategy
3. Monitoring
4. Shared responsibility between service devs and infra providers?

It would be interesting to hear from all sides - service devs, infra devs, sres and devops engineers.
Hm, why is NVidia only talking about FP16 in regards to the new transformer blocks. Isn't BFloat16 better in most cases?
You need to immediately stop posting online and consult a personal injury attorney. Anything you post online may impact your case.

Personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning you pay them nothing unless they win, in which case they take a portion of your damages award. I.e., you will not have to pay them anything.

If what you say here is true, they will be kicking down your door to take your case, and your problem will just be picking the right one.

You can google personal injury attorneys in SF. They will talk to you for free. I would speak with at least three before you pick one. Generally I would talk to at least one from a medium size or larger firm (~50+ attorneys).
There's also aluminum which is less expensive.
> When you sign up for a new account, they aggressively prompt you to sync your contacts list with the app, and will continually prompt you in the future if you choose not to.

Even everyone's much-loved Signal does this. Contacts sync is presented as "not now" or "yes forever." The "not now" message even explicitly says they'll bug you again.
Lots of new accounts with lots of opinions lately..

> Zelensky could concede the four points and end the war but he chose to force all men to fight for him.

I mean a person getting raped can also stop the rape by convincing themselves that the act is consensual, right?
No, I don't think you are. You're being arrested for not paying the fine. Each was an independent choice on your part.
2TB SSD? Please could you point me to an OVH web page with that offer? I looked for it and I didn't find anything.
It happens sometimes for any number of reasons. At GE people wrote 'see you soon! :)' on a co-worker's retirement card because retirees typically would return as a contractor doing the exact same job.

Perhaps less common, Larry David rage quit his writing job at SNL on Saturday and returned to the office Monday like nothing happened [0].

I accidentally turned this on at the beginning of Toy Story 4. The narration had me convinced that the movie was taking place in a future where Andy was in film school and we were watching him working through his first film based on his childhood toys.

Felt like a fool when I realized it was really super caption for the visually impaired.
What? Github is a social networking company.
Given that it's Nvidia, no Linux support. That's the catch.
I just assume every call not from a contact is spam and let them go to voicemail. It's even a built-in feature of the phone. That's the world we seem to live in now, where the POTS network has been thoroughly corrupted by the mere existence of SIP.
Oh yeah - I mean the Studio Display panel is presumably exactly the same as the 27" Retina iMac they shipped in 2014. It's a 4 year old panel. Astonishing it took them until now to ship that as an external monitor.

One of the bad qualities of the LG UltraFine was it's stand was not very stable and prone to wobble. I had one.
I'm sorry to hear Jakov passed away - he was a brilliant, kind engineer.
Is this part of some new anti-container sentiment?
I generally agree with you on this, esp the point about Dem voters actually disliking it.
I don't think anyone is really unclear on law. You are expected to follow it, lest you be punished.
Great talk here from HCA Healthcare about their architecture and tech stack using Elixir OTP, Riak:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVQUPvmmaxQ

TL;DR - Elixir/OTP for fault tolerance and process supervision, Riak as a KV store (no other database) and an interesting process-actor model for patients I found delightful. Bonus: hot code patching, zero downtime
You've described the search for dark matter as it is performed. There's already a percentage that's been filled in and most theories try to fill in additional chunks rather than as you say "some singular thing".
Speaking from experience:

- If you believe in what you are doing, then keep going.

- Yes, it can be difficult and depressing. Yes, your audience may not understand the value you are pitching. Just keep going, learn over time from the experiences, and revise/experiment when there is a possibility of making a little more traction with your audience.

- Always work to improve both your product and your pitch -- neither will ever be perfect, and both will need revisions and improvements for tomorrow's world.

- Collect testimonials from your customers to help validate to yourself and to others the value in what you are doing.

Good luck, and hang in there.
US literally had a trade representative tell Volkswagen to move their engine manufacturing facility to US, or face heavy import duties.

US is not free from being taken over by a national populist. Currently the highest rated TV show in US is run by a national conservative. Thank god, that American institutions are stronger than Donny, but had he been in office for another 4 years - it would have been dire.
Wouldn’t heath systems like Kaiser Permanente that are fully integrated (both insurer and provider) have the right incentives to disrupt their own processes in favor of something better?
Microsoft has big plans for github. Maybe the brand is a bit tarnished by the time they realize those plans, but if they succeed in fully integrating the developer productivity stack into both the github app and site they'll see a very large amount of revenue.
For me, the primary motivation is giving to the community. I believe that doing this makes the world just a little better in one way or another. For every person who does this, the effect multiplies. Think about how someone else's open source made your life better. You could do that for other people too.
It’s good to see someone filling this void. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was leaving the military and have struggled to get it addressed in the transition to civilian life, changing insurance, doctors etc and have basically given up. Having a resource to be able to coordinate the process to finding a solution is really important. The CPAP never worked for me but I know there are other configurations that I never got to.

Congrats on the launch, and great space to be in.

How are you different then something like Lofta?

I tried signing up to use Lofta recently, but dropped off once they wanted me to sign some documents and I felt like it was no longer a simple test, but I was in a relationship with this provider, so I dropped off. Do you know if this due to regulations? (Edit: I recall now, I didn't want to chat to a doctor).

I'd love if this was as easy as sleep tracking with an Apple watch and SleepWatch app (got me to reduce my drinking considerably).
In that scenario, where is the line between a deepfake and satire?
PCVR is still very expensive to get into, and last I checked the most popular HMD on SteamVR was still the original Vive.

And we also only have a few high budget/tier games that are made for VR (arguably, only HL Alyx)

The Quest isn't really relevant here, and it's also extremely heavily subsidized.

It is by no means mainstream.
I started contributing to a project named Vorta ( https://vorta.borgbase.com/ ) because:

1- I use the app and wanted to give back something.

2- I use many open source software and wanted to help a small open source tool.

3- Practice my coding skills on a open source project.

It does require some commitment from your part but you can help with small things that don't require a lot of your time, like writing documentation, translating, testing.
You can commit maybe 1hr a day/week to write/translate documentation, or test a bug someone fixed.

I started doing translations because it was simple enough for me to begin understanding the projects processes and the code.

Also, it feels good that you are helping the project continue and be used by other people like you even if they don't contribute.
It is impossible to rule out apnea without a sleep study. My kid had apnea, and I'd lay in bed with him for hours, and I never noticed anything beyond sleeping with his mouth open, or slight stirring. Sleep study revealed that he was consistently waking up 6 times an hour.

His apnea got cured with EASE surgery. It dramatically changed his personality. Sleep apnea is often misdiagnosed as ADHD in kids.
You're talking about implementation details of java.lang.String. The interface it exposes is still UTF-16.

Latin 1 has the special property that each of its fixed-width code units maps onto a single UTF-16 code unit. It is for that reason alone that CharSequence implementors can use it as an alternative to UTF-16. Imagine trying to implement `char charAt(int index)` if you're backed by a UTF-8 byte array (or UTF-32, for that matter)!

From a programmer's perspective, Java is pretty much as UTF-16 as ever.
I don't think Ice Age protocol solves our problem, especially in a PoS setting. Ice Age tries to incentivize a move by raising difficulty till its unprofitable, the only equivalent I can see is decreasing interest rates for staked tokens. But once someone is in control of the chain, they just have to be clever about stealing stuff without raising too many alarms. I believe more drastic measures will need to be taken and consensus will need to be made between actual humans and no protocol can help with this.
Strongly agree with everything you've said, and I'd add that elite athletes have the same seemingly-incredible recall (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHibkh57FFA) - I think for the same reasons.
So the product naming for Nvidia's server-GPUs by compute power now goes:

P100 -> V100 -> A100 -> H100

This is not confusing at all.
>The Windows ecosystem mess

You mean the PC ecosystem. Microsoft did not design the specs for USB, TB and DisplayPort.

Still, I'd much rather have this ecosystem "mess" that's more or less open and has healthy competition with a variety of solid options, rather than an ecosystem where stuff mostly just works but is 100% proprietary and locks you into a walled garden designed for rent seeking, planned obsolescence and e-waste generation (i.e. Apple that sells monitors with non user removable power cables attached to them).
It is genius, really. Evil, but genius. Even just getting a reliable name for every number would be handy, I can see the value. But the killer feature is how much information your contacts leak in their description of you, so all of that can be correlated to build a more detailed picture of you.
