Thanks for sharing! There are *a lot* of such solutions in the docker/k8s space, but i feel like mentioning some lower-tech solutions: alternC, ISPconfig, yunohost, libreserver, freedombox...
The difference is the subject. It's not academic or philosophical. Go watch the videos linked in other comments to understand the intrusive nature.

I get it, the counter argument is that the stationary camera is no less intrusive. To which I counter that the stationary camera records my happenstance gross actions along with those actions of many others, I am literally lost in the noise. But the explicit camera on me records much finer detail of myself, and nobody else, there is no noise to be lost in.

Perhaps people who like attention do not see a problem being the center of attention. I personally don't mind if someone notices my presence but I do mind if they think that seeing me means that I can become the star of their next production.
There were sharp increases in some cancers, however from very small bases and of cancers with very low mortality, as far as I recall.

I think it's worth assuming some reduction in life expectancy for some people, but notably the estimates of lost years of life have dropped year by year, and will likely end up being negligible.

I've said it before: we could have a Chernobyl every year, and it'd still be worth it (reducing deaths) if it got us off coal sooner...
The first name I recognized was Gabe Newell, of Valve fame. Wonder what he thinks about this. Someone in the Twitter thread already suggested shooting him an email, hopefully someone does so and shares his response.
I don't know why I am replying to a throwaway account, but anyway....

I can sit in 1,000 pubs for 1,000 hours and not even talk to someone, let alone make a friend.

For some of us, it's just not that easy. The few friends I do have, I somehow acquired 20 years ago, and for some reason they've not got bored of me yet.

I'm not sure I understand why you would have a long-running VPS that you need to manually upgrade.

Just build a new one with all of the system upgrades already in place and switch everything over... surely that's easier and safer?
As a native English speaker, I also felt like I had to work harder to read the bionic text.

I am first grade teacher and have taught many children to read. Bionic's principles and algorithm do not match what I understand about the science of reading. This just holds the first part of a word, regardless of what the letters are. I would want an algorithm that is smarter than that (and I certainly wouldn't use bionic in the classroom, regardless!).
> I solve problems with configuration before code

I sometimes write code, I sometimes configure things, I sometimes write code to write configuration, sometimes I rearchitect the damn thing. I do whatever it takes to reach the business goal.

If all you know is how to configure something, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox

If all you know is how to code something, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox

If all you know is how to run a network, it's like only having a hammer in your toolbox

Not many companies want someone that will move from network problems to code problems to configuration problems to physical problems to supplier problems to security problems over the course of an afternoon, but if you do get a job like that it's nice and varied.
I made a version which works in all web pages, it is still very hacky though:

function bionifyPage(){
function bionifyWord(word) {
if (word.length == 1) {
return word;
}
var numBold = Math.ceil(word.length * 0.3);

// return "<div class=\"bionic-highlight\">" + word.slice(0, numBold) + "</div>" + + "<div class=\"bionic-rest\">" + word.slice(numBold) + "</div>";
return "<b>" + word.slice(0, numBold) + "</b>" + "<span>" + word.slice(numBold) + "</span>";
}

function bionifyText(text) {
var res = "";
if (text.length < 10) {
return text;
}
for (var word of text.split(" ")) {
res += bionifyWord(word) + " ";
}
return res;
}

function bionifyNode(node) {
if (node.tagName == 'SCRIPT') return;
if ((node.childNodes == undefined) || (node.childNodes.length == 0)) {
if ((node.textContent != undefined) && (node.tagName == undefined)) {
var newNode = document.createElement('span');
var bionifiedText = bionifyText(node.textContent)
newNode.innerHTML = bionifiedText;
if (node.textContent.length > 20){
node.replaceWith(newNode);
}
}
}
else {
for (var child of node.childNodes) {
bionifyNode(child);
}
}
}
bionifyNode(document.body);

Surveillance Camera Man had some of the most fascinating
videos ever uploaded to the Internet.

They were:

- A form of Urban Art.

- A study of Human behavior. From the relaxed
and curiosity driven reactions of a few, to the
freaked, untitled, scary, reaction of many.

- A intrusion into the personal space of
some, while in a public space, only made
more fascinating by his calm brazenness.

- Pure real life Golden Comedy.

The most important reminder, will always be of how much our
tolerance to surveillance is only based on the invisibility
of said surveillance. In the digital world or in the real world. Always took Camera Surveillance Man, with his constant
repetition, "It's just a camera", "It's just a video"
as a statement of the must important unspoken question:
"If you freak out about this camera, why don't you freak
out about the others?"

Commentators arguing about a personal invasion of privacy, are
forgetting how easily it is to correlate two or three different signals, and de-anonymize you, therefore formally putting the
camera back at your face again.

Golden I tell you:

"Just a video":

30 is the new 20.

I had a talk with a friend the other day about how 50 year olds used to be old. They just don’t look or feel that way now a days
- When I was a child I didn't like broccoli, brussel sprouts, or many other things that I like today. That doesn't mean that my body decided "well you must have a damn good reason for imbibing this poison, so I'll stop warning you as much".

- I guess the author can consider relaxing to be a sensation, but I don't think I'd be convinced by his argument to that effect.

- When I was a child I was not "bouncing off the walls" within 30 minutes of turning up at a party. If I didn't know people there, I was much more likely to try to find a quiet place to read.

There's nothing wrong with choosing not to drink, but society has made a decision that drinking in certain situations is acceptable despite knowing that it can have a negative impact on your health.
Australia could be producing a lot more Uranium, it has an estimated 30% of world reserves and if you sort the list in the Wikipedia article about reserves by Reserves as of 2015, it's at the top. Canada also has large reserves and is 3rd in that list. There is also South Africa and Brazil along with other African and South American countries that could contribute to supply. I don't think supply of uranium ore would be a problem for the West.

As for safety, nuclear power production is probably one of the safest industries that exist since we are so acutely aware of the consequences. Waste storage is only a hot button issue because of trumped up fears. Compared to the variety of toxins we release into the air, the amount of nuclear waste produced is tiny and easy to contain. I'd rather all of the life threatening by products of power production be safely buried under a mountain hundreds of miles away from anyone than just dumped into the atmosphere all around the globe.
As far as I recall, there were some measurable increases in cancer incidence among children in Belarus, mostly due to milk intake

However, all that was completely drowned by a collapse of life expectancy resulting from the chaos of the 90s. We're horrified at a few tens of extra cancers, but 100M men losing 10-15 years of their life due to socio-economic circumstances doesn't raise anyone's eyebrow
I think Canonical would be the second last "open source" organization (after Mozilla) that I would want in charge of Firefox development. They are almost as hostile to running an open source project rather than an (open source) product as Moz corp.
I am unaware of the specific law in Germany, but the way this kind of thing usually works in much of the world is that a judge or jury decides what the photo is "of" after being apprised of the relevant context. There are a lot of laws that deal with intent; the processes for this is pretty well-worn.
In my opinion a non-profit where workers are legally prevented (by contract) from talking about their pay and where CEO makes more money than other people should not be called a non-profit. A non-profit should have equal pay for everyone, from office cleaners to administrators.
It doesn't make much of a difference. macOS Docker performance is heavily limited by really poor volume mount performance.

In one of our projects the benchmarks look like this to run our test suite for a web app using volume mounts:

- 2020 Intel MBP (10th gen CPU, 32GB of memory, SSD): 37 seconds

- First generation M1 MBP: 31 seconds

- WSL 2: 3 seconds

The WSL 2 box is an old workstation I have from 6-7 years ago with an i5 3.2ghz CPU, 16gb of RAM and one of the first SSDs. All in all it was about $800.

The WSL 2 box is so fast for Docker because the volume performance is pretty much as good as native Linux. It's really fast.

You need to train yourself to enjoy doing these things. If it is painful you will not do it.

When you exercise learn to appreciate how it makes you feel. Think to yourself "I am getting stronger, better looking, this is great!"
True, in this case it is an exception of course. Although in times of social media an audience is easy to be found. Memes are the opium of the people or something like that.

Not here to proselytize about your lifestyle choices, and I've certainly enjoyed my fair share of smoking and drinking myself over the years. That said, as someone who works daily with patients whose health has been destroyed by excessive drinking or pretty much any level of smoking, it's always been striking to me how surprised people tend to be by the results.

A lot of people performing the calculus of "eh, what's five to ten years off the end of my life as long as I'm enjoying it now" seem to think it works neatly like that-- they'll die earlier from cancer or a heart attack, and that's it. I'm struck by how often they are surprised and upset by the fact that instead of that, they're living the last 30 years of their lives with irreversible heart, lung, liver, and vascular issues that leave them unable to do the things they've enjoyed outside of smoking and drinking. Just a thought.
What's your point? If you are implying the patent is just about ceil(len*0.3) you completely missed the application. In contrast, if you make/invent something new that uses 2+2=4 as an underlying fundamental mechanism, go ahead.
The cash is an important part. Valve isn't public and can do what it wants!
Because "2d ago" provides a better user experience even for developers.
Yes! Especially several years later. Stupid shit happens, to all of us. And if the kid has 'adopted' the father, then for many years it will be outright traumatic to cut the relationship and trust if that kid just because if some test. Oh, not my DNA, then I don't love you? How narcissistic of a father would that be? Joseph of Nazareth would like to have a word, too...

No, there should be very good and compelling reasons to request a DNA test.

Non-duality means that reality is not a subject (me or I) experiencing objects but a unity (as opposed to duality) of subject and experience.

The sense you have of being a separate observer or experiencer of objects outside of yourself is an illusion or mistaken way of thinking.

Cut content is what they would call it if it was a video game. Easter Egg is as close as a journalist is going to get.
I don't see it as a solution because they will all just outsource it to humans from a country that cost less per hour, so your experience will be about the same.

The only solution IMO is to spend more money on support, but that should be a public ranking and not a "right"/law.

As an example, in my country, one of the big banks have ads with literally 2 sentences: "Talk to human, and we have a human branch in every city." No financial advantage what so ever so it looks like this is common enough issue that can move customers in some sectors.
There's a pretty big difference in stated intent. It doesn't seem unreasonable for a person to be OK with being filmed for the purpose of e.g. theft prevention, but not for some kind of modern art project / protest statement.

Edit: to be clear, the opposite also doesn't seem unreasonable. If someone told me they were OK with being filmed for a modern art project, but not for theft prevention, I wouldn't find that particularly odd either.
We'll automate the jobs that we can, and keep inflating our assets to ensure a healthy proletariat for everything else.
As soon as there's a recommendation system, there is an incentive to game it. The impact will be felt whether you look at the thing or not.

I don't watch YouTube's "recommended" videos. That doesn't stop creators from changing their videos, titles, and thumbnails to be more in line with what the recommendation algorithm "likes".

How do you transfer all configuration to the new system and how often are you doing this?
Data belongs to users and it was time that they could properly manage it at the talent sector. Looks big!!
Not the first project of this kind, I see. But something we need more from.
But a kind of problem all those project have is their lack of modularity and thus their ability to integrate with other projects. For example, why are your sources builtin? Can you call external sources to allow any user usage of custom sources?

IMHO there are three parts for those tools. Fetching data, storing data and Letting People working with them. But most project I've seen so far for this, are doing all this together, instead of having individual parts, which would allow other people to build optimized parts for themself.

The same article from a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29175656
From the source code:

type frac struct {
integer, numerator, denominator int
}

The typical implementation in other languages calls this a rational, and does

type frac struct {
numerator, denominator int
}

That makes the code easier. Is there a reason for keeping the integer part around?

Also, for FloatToFrac, you may want to look into continued fractions. They make it extremely easy to find better and better rational approximations to any number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction#Best_ration...)

This example also reminds me of why golang won’t soon become my favorite language. It’s just not expressive enough for this kind of stuff. If you’re using rationals, you really want to be able to write

rational r = 3/4
print(r * r + 2/13)

and get 149/208 as output.

Many services I write use only network resources, no disk.
What do you think "in the middle" means? Everything is semi centralized? No, it means we've centralized the right things and not the wrong things.

Sorry, it just bugs me when people talk like this. Politics, too. People want us to do things "in the middle". What does that mean? Like a single payer system that pays for half of everything? What people actually mean is, they want a better solution that works for everyone. It's not a split the difference situation.
WebKit and WebKitGtk. The later needs more developers!

We're down to three browser engines {Blink, Gecko, WebKit} and I don't expect any new because the web piles up complexity. We've lost Trident, KHTML and Opera. While nobody will miss the first, we're missing a heterogeneous web. We're down to an oligopoly with a tendency to a monopoly by Google. I cannot recommend just avoiding Chrome and replacing it by Chromium. Most complaints about WebKit and Gecko are actually not about them but that they are not Blink (i.e. Chrome).

I'm neither a fan of the present usage of JavaScript. To be precise, how it used in modern web. It didn't improve experience of the users. We now have random websites which consume resources and drain the battery. My impression is, that all engines stopped make the JS engines faster? Now it looks like the engines try to figure out which website is consuming resources through JS. Too late? Well. Modern JS is required often but isn't necessary for the web. The best use case is Stackoverflow and the worst are modern Cookie-Dialogs. In Europe the ill formed cookie directive created a new business-model and companys providing aggregate remote cookie banners, storing the cookies actually on their systems.

Hacker News: Works well without JS.
Amazon: Works well without JS.
Stackoverflow: Complains, but works well without JS.

Interestingly?
I want web-browsers to add an permission "Allow JavaScript" alongside the "Allow {Adds, Geolocation, Cookies, ...}" and therefore contain its usage.
There were many reason not to use Flash but Steve Jobs eradicated Flash for one reason, it's draining batteries. He had his point. I think it is possible to get rid of JS in a lot of parts of the web. And the others should better provide us a good reason why we shoud even allow them using it.

PS: I'm coding myself also with JavaScript and want to avoid using it.
Yes, mostly. It has a lot of shell built-ins and a plugin interface so you don't need to manually parse everything, though.

I think it really clicked for me when i read somewhere in an example `ls | sort-by size` and `ls | where size > 100mb`. They are both simple operations that i cannot accomplish from memory using standard POSIX tools, yet one year later i can remember the nushell example very well.
Nothing to do with VueScan, but I just went through a journey trying to find a good solution for an old HP laserjet/scanner combo that I picked up used for $40. Although it's not wifi enabled, and has no Mac support (that I need for a couple of laptops in my household), I got it running perfectly on a Raspberry Pi, despite some difficulties with the HP driver "ecosystem". (Why do they make it so complicated..)

Once I got it working, I set up `saned` and was able to scan from my Ubuntu laptop over wifi just fine using `gscan2pdf`, which has a horrible user interface but at least gets the job done. Honestly it was a bit surprising to me to discover how terrible the scanning landscape still is in open source software, but I guess it's just not one of those things that is needed that often so some basic projects that were thrown together a decade ago still kind of work and that's that. I can accept that.

However, despite printing working fine for all machines, I absolutely could not manage to get any kind of "bridge" working for scanning from the Mac laptop, which apparently uses a different scanner API called TWAIN, and no amount of messing around with TWAIN/sane bridges worked out. Not to mention that one of the two Macs was a "work" laptop for which it was not allowed to install drivers or system software.

The whole time I was thinking, man, all I want is some web interface where I can log into the RPi and drive the scanner, and download the result, why is that so difficult. Lo and behold I came across this amazing project that solved the whole problem for me: https://github.com/sbs20/scanservjs. I'm not affiliated with it, but I was just so impressed at how well it worked that I feel the need to mention it, and give kudos to the author.

It was even easy to get running, just a single docker command on the RPi and it was up and running. The laptops can connect easily, of course, because it's just a local web server, and you can do multipage scans to PDF, which is really all I wanted. Fantastic bit of OSS, highly recommended if anyone finds themselves in a similar situation. Forget remote protocols and installing drivers, etc., just run this on the Pi and you're in business.
> And IMHO if you weren't at home with toddlers you didn't experience true suffering.

You're entitled to your opinion, but the lockdowns affected everyone differently. I know parents who thrived with their toddlers, but they didn't have the same issues at work where people were complaining about when they were working. But I also know people who's marriages ended due to longstanding issues that were magnified by being locked down.

Some single people did fine. Some of us also turned more to alcohol to try and cope with the loneliness of having to work at home, not be able to go out, and in the worst of it not being allowed to gather with more than one or two other people.
Back in 1985, there weren't actually any tools that could discover this kind of extra data.

Uh, what?
I quit at the start of 2020 as well. But we had a kid on the way and I'm not sure how I'd mix that with drinking.
"If you want kids, just have the kids" sounds very irresponsible - a good way to create a lot of suffering. It is not a decision you can reverse. You should give it a lot more thought than to choosing your career, where/how you live, or to getting a pet. It is shocking that so often it is the opposite, and people 'yolo' into this decision. If anything, you should err on the side of not having children, unless you are very, very sure:

1. You will still want to be spending overwhelming majority of your time on children in 1, 2, 5, 10 years at least and will be enjoying it.

2. You are in a position to be consistently spending enough time and effort and other resources on them.

3. You are very confident you will be able to be a good parent, and that you are bringing new life into a good environment that both you and them will enjoy.

You need to be in a very good, stable place both physically and mentally for sure before you even consider it.
Because making a friend requires more than an app.

That's not exactly that story here though. He joined MS when it was more of a (late stage) startup, not a mega-conglomerate it is today. Also, he stayed there for a looong time - 13 years. Thirdly, seeing how he joined MS in 1983 and left in 1996, he almost certainly was already rich and set for life from the MS stock when founding Valve.
