Read source code of libraries using in your current projects. It helps you to understand them more and improve your coding skills. You can start with a small feature, an API, a util or a configuration.
Hahaha that's too funny.

In 15 years I may be dead, and yes I'm pretty much certain.

Life is too short to worry about these things. I'll say controversial things in private or anonymously.
It may be that beauty and wonder itself boosts well-being, and science’s insistence that only it’s own is valid has detracted more than it’s given.
1) The law compels people to out abortions and circumvents the law of the land - I.e. the SCOTUS ruling - by forcing it into a civil court matter. You seriously don’t see the issue there? How about democrats pass a parallel law where instead of abortions it’s because you used hate speech? How would you feel about that?

2) 6 weeks is not a long time. Plenty of people don’t find out their pregnant until 4-6 weeks, many later than that. You think it’s right that they can be forced to make that decision with only a few days to consider it? Or worse, that they have to leave the state to get one because they’re past 6 weeks? There are so many problems with this.
This is exactly the daily life of Chinese people
That could be said of me as a dev. I don't see (formal) education itself as an asset. It's a means to an end. Most of the education is not used and forgotten. The type of people who are able to learn, might be better off learning what they want without an education.
> To the people who think the exorbitant fees are okay: Imagine a world with no cash. Now the payment card companies decide they want 30% of all transactions. You think that would be reasonable?

More like a world with only endcaps.

The difference between the app stores and retail is that every SKU has a fixed margin.

At most stores that sell a variety of product, anything you see right away is a paid placement. The first beer you see, Pepsi in the front of one store, Coke in the other. That’s why you don’t see canned corn on the end cap.

The notion that I should have the feels because poor Epic pays a 30% commission to Apple so they can sell my kid a virtual character dance move at 98% margin is absurd. The argument is specious.
For laypeople self-hosting is out of the question for now. I'd say the more immediate problem is that even for competent engineers this is a difficult task with all the artificial restrictions put in place in the name of security, anti-fraud, etc.
People in practice choose who they want to be with based on shared values and behaviour. I can’t stand hypocrites, religions fanatics, Trump lovers, or fanatical left/right leaning people. So I choose not to spend time with people like that. However I am not going to insist that they change their behaviour because I get upset listening to them. That would be extremely narcissistic of me.
The deals do exists - but at in person train shows and not online. But I overall agree with you and I see the increase in costs as coming along with the end of shake the box kits and the beginning of premade everything. A case of a market that mortgaged it's future for the a quick buck today.

That said, I think, model railroading will survive and return to it's roots of small basement and garage makers thanks to 3d printing.

Half the consequences that you cite in defense of non-disclosures, are perfectly legitimate issues for the company to have to deal with. Why should they be spared bad PR or regulatory inquiries, if they're based on true claims?

It still looks like cover-up to me, no matter how standard.

Something is not clear to me, however: Are you implying a non-disclosure agreement could forbid contacting the relevant regulatory authority? Or merely that the media publicity could spur an investigation, where an individual informant would be ignored?
Looking for education here: in reading my understanding of MairaDB was that it's not as well suited to large databases and heavy read/write performance in those databases, as compared with Postgres. Would the primary argument be for MariaDB's sharding support first-class?
Thank you, this was my point in the post they responded to.
Not if you need the data to have a different cap and consistency behavior.
When I was a kid/teen Radio Shack was _the only_ place in town where you could purchase discrete electronic components.

There is now no longer a single store in that same town that sells discrete components; the only way to source them is online.
Twitter. My bet is Twitter being the fastest propagation of information given you actively look for it.

Yep exactly. Insisting that the world has to change so that you don’t get upset is crazy.
That is the most embarrassing thing that anyone has ever admitted on this website, congrats dude.
I don't live in country whose currency is not used as a reserve. I still can send money instantly to anyone within the country for free and send money internationally for a small fee. It will actually be more expensive to send money using cryptocurrencies because of the spread.
Live in the DB and use data from the DB are two separate things. Packages has its own dedicated MySQL cluster for all package related info. Auth also lives in a separate database. But it still needs to access org or repo information in many use cases.

That's a clever hack that was added decades after I learned Haskell.

I mean... it works, but it's not in the spirit of Haskell, which is my point.

It's not impossible to write pure functional software in C. It just goes against its grain.
I feel for you. I also wasted a lot of very painful hours trying to get it to work. I even had it working for a while before a docker update broke it -- turns out docker-compose's ipv6 support that many people relied on for years was a "bug" that they "fixed".

Ultimately I also gave up and now have a combination of port forwarding, nat64, and 10+ socat proxies in my docker-compose file. (Specifically, intranet->container and container->intranet are ipv6; but container->container is still ipv4)

More generally, I now try to keep my docker host as stock as possible. Whenever I'm reaching for daemon.json I just catch myself, take a step back, and say "what's the stupid but easy way to get this working".
I'm literally playing Trinity on an emulator right now. Not sure how I missed it back in the 80's but I'm really enjoying it. I'm stuck on the satellite door. Don't spoil it! Playing text adventures requires far more willpower today since the answers are easily accessible via the Internet. Not giving in to cheating really makes it feel old-school.

And what happens when the country decides to make buying cryptocurrencies illegal?
This is nice, I've always wanted to build something like this, but it would integrate life choices and can show you where one's timeline "dead-ends," because you made the other choice.

The idea is inspired by the movie Bandersnatch. There's something so powerful about reflection with clarity.
>That hasn't been the case for at least a few decades. Authors don't really keep up with all the science or technology, for whatever reason

As a biologist, I'll be a bit snipe - it's because the famous SF authors usually had a background in physics or mathematics (Greg Egan, for example, has a degree in mathematics), while the truly exciting science right now happens in biology :) Personalised medicine, CRISPR, transposon selection, GM, gene drives, ML in biology, genomics, not that much SF happening in that area because again, hard SF usually comes from physics. Think Forward's Dragon's Egg, amazing physics, bad biology (I vaguely remember triple-stranded DNA).

I think solarpunk is coming from a biology-heavy background and we'll see a lot more there.

Some examples of bio-SF would be Bear's Darwin's Radio, on transposons reactivating themselves leading to a new species of humans, or Burke's Semiosis, on first contact with alien intelligent plants. There's also a whole subgenre of Biopunk but I'm not the biggest fan, a lot of the content feels like 90s kneejerk reactions without being well-informed. For example, Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl features the usual 'farmers can't replant their seeds' myth with 90s-style GM-fear mongering.
It still isn’t that high except for at a hand few of places and even then they’ll start you off less but give you a total comp that exceeds. Still it isn’t far of the mark (at least in Seattle where I live.)

I'm sure the options will balloon a bit. After all, if someone develops a new good cipher/etc, we'll want to use it in TLS. But it's nice that as of now, there's no bad choices available (other than potentially allowing downgrading).
Thanks! Anything other than Lucid is a win for me. Horrible company to deal with. Tons of dark patterns.
Part of resisting antisemitism is recognizing and calling attention to their dog whistles and shibboleths.
Why the downvote? Are you (for example) saying that religion should be banned because there might be somebody out there who gets upset when religious people try to force society to conform to their values? Or that right leaning people should be banned from expressing their opining because left leaning people get upset listening to their arguments? Really?
What budget for cloud infrastructure for 100K/mo buyers to an ecommerce website, approximate range, with typical purchase habits? I am new to Flink. We use Redis in production.
Apple does not have a monopoly on software distribution, nor on making computers.

Apple makes very popular computers in their iPhones, but other phones, tablets, laptops, gaming consoles, etc all do the same stuff.

Eg. When your phone is broken, you can still call people over your laptop, and you can access an internet browser from basically anything
These may seem like very easy tasks for you.

If you truly believe that a layperson can "easily follow" a technical guide or that a guide with the most common cases is sufficient to maintain a webserver... then the only thing I can say is that your experience with both laypeople and webservers is worlds apart from mine.
I think OP is overgeneralizing a little.

Cloud is all about buying resources(IaaS) and functions(SaaS) of your choice. That means, one can purchase storage and traffic like the case here, or CPU time and memory for data processing. One specific scenario can work for someone, but that doesn't define what cloud is or should be, because it's all about choice.
There are entire worlds of math locked away from you if you don't know your times table by heart. Algebra becomes particularly difficult if you do not know how to not only multiply, but factor, quickly.

So yeah, it's great that you know 9 * 6 is 9 added to itself 6 times, but you also have to learn the times table by rote if you want to get anywhere in math.
There are Jews still in Israel. Continued existence of an ethnicity is not proof there was never ethnic cleansing.

Anyway, thanks for the extensive sourcing, but I'll go read some books on Kosovo myself.
The remake was excellent. Having played it already I wasn't really expecting to be wowed again, but it really was a great experience once more.

Have you played Obduction? If not I can highly recommend it. I'm also looking forward to their new game Firmament. I'm so glad Cyan is back making games.
I don't have any leads for you, but I wish you luck. Many here are going to tell you to not mention "that you have good taste." Don't listen to them -- I thought that was a nice touch and it made me smile.

Or worse, like free mobile in France, force you to send a paper letter with a specific format to cancel service. I cancelled my credit cards instead and will let them try to collect internationally.

They also let you cancel by phone, if you speak French.

They have quite a nice online portal area where I can login and make changes to my plan. But they don't let me cancel there on purpose. It's a dark pattern and I'll never use their service again as a result. Which is too bad, because I was quite satisfied with it otherwise.
Sometimes tangential HN comments are a gift. Thank you for this one.
Fair point, but I haven't hit it in practice. Tons of services are embracing docker as a first-class output. I just checked and I run exactly 2 images that are from a third party.
> I've never been talking about the people who aren't bothered by the jokes in question here because they're not personally carrying the baggage I'm referring to. I've talking about the people who are. Those people exist and are numerous

It’s impossible to talk about these groups separately because our norms and policies around race have costs and benefits which must be balanced across all the minorities who will be on the receiving end. Maybe some people will be heartened by their white professors standing up and declaring themselves “gatekeepers of white supremacy” (https://freebeacon.com/campus/northwestern-law-administrator...) but a lot of other “people of color” are going to find such treatment othering and uncomfortable.

There’s also the very real risk that all this race consciousness holds back the progress of minorities. I know progressives imagine a utopian future where they’ve vanquished racism but people of color have to live in the real world. And looking back at my own life (growing up as a brown guy in Virginia), I don’t think it would have been better if everyone had been super conscious about my skin color versus their’s.

Given the potential costs to all members of minority groups, we can’t just adopt the most extreme standards in deference to unspecified “numerous” people carrying unspecified “baggage.” If we’re going to change the norms around how white people relate to minorities, we will have to take account of how everybody affected feels about that. Mostly white progressives knocking over tables and demanding extreme policies actually gets in the way of minorities getting to control how society treats them.

> they seek out and appreciate the allies they have on their side.

White “allyship” is problematic and paternalistic: https://musaalgharbi.com/2020/05/15/definition-racist-action... (“Rather than actually dismantling white supremacy or meaningfully empowering people of color, efforts often seem to be oriented towards consolidating social and cultural capital in the hands of the ‘good’ whites.”)

It’s an agency problem: white “allies” don’t suffer the harms they’re trying to address, and for the most part don’t bear the cost of unintended consequences. For example, as the dad of brown kids, I find that a lot of “anti-racist education” risks putting brown kids in a mindset that their success or failure depends on factors outside their control. By contrast, even if such education makes white kids feel guilty, it simultaneously tells them that they’re the ones with agency and power. The mostly white people advocating these educational policies for the most part don’t have to deal with the consequences to kids that might result.

Likewise, white progressives can freely engage in rhetoric and hostility to other whites and don’t have to suffer the consequences of any backlash. Frankly I’m perplexed why—if progressives think white people are as racist as they say—that they think it’s a good idea to constantly call half the country “white supremacists,” send them to the back of the vaccine line, etc.
I don't think it's costs they care about, but control.

Slam, dunk, QED. Well done!
Thanks, the passive DNS is a good point. I hadn't thought about that.

I'd say that's an unfortunately rare outcome.

Perhaps even a "weird" one.
Units! I completely forgot this term.
> You can say that all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an opinion. I think people should live far apart from each other and definitely not in cities, but saying that won't do anything to change your opinion either.

Everyone has opinions, but OP's is in the minority and some opinions are less valid than others - you can't hide behind an opinion.

> You seem incredibly upset that some people enjoy being indoors. You also write as if windows and doors don't exist. Enjoying the indoors and an outside view at the same time is fundamental to human nature, as shown by thousands of years of windows. If anything, there is more evidence to say that your opinion is wrong, that humans shouldn't live with windows.

I enjoy being indoors just as much as outdoors - doesn't mean I'm a hermit. Windows are fine. But who cares if you don't have them when you're young and should be grinding.

> Normal people also go back indoors lol, and normal people enjoy windows when they're inside. I can't begin to imagine why you take it so personally that somebody would dare to want an apartment with windows. I won't be responding further but I hope you enjoy your chosen way of life

They do! I'm not taking it personally. You and OP seem to think living in a basement is not ok. You're young - life is not perfect - get out of your house.

My chosen way of life is the right way.

multiple forks exist exactly because agency and privacy are not mozilla's values anymore. just half-hearted lip service
Let me give you an example: Let’s say (for arguments sake) that I got upset reading your comment. Following your logic it is now your fault that I am upset. So you need to change your behaviour until I am no longer upset. Can you see how impractical/impossible that is? Any opinion you have might upset somebody. So the only way to not upset anybody is to stay silent.
Quoting your paraphrasing:

"their families back home don't care about them anyway, and they don't really love their families"

Let us stipulate for a moment that this is true. Then, let us also take your advice and think about history and its lessons. There we find a question:

What about Russian history has produced this depraved circumstance?

It references 2022 data, so it must be recent:

I would think so; he wanted the source for the printer driver (i.e. the program that ran on his general-purpose computer), not the printer firmware.
>For one thing, they often make it against the ToS to host 'a server' (generally).

Beyond this, it can also be impossible due to lack of a static IP or control over the router (5G internet service with CGNAT). A VPS with WireGuard and remote port forwarding allows access for things like SSH.

The WAPM backend is closed-source for now.

However, the API layer based on GraphQL and the CLI are completely open for anyone to use:
https://registry.wapm.io/graphql
https://github.com/wasmerio/wapm-cli

If anyone wants to replicate the WebAssembly Package Manager locally please send me an email to syrus@wasmer.io so we can start a discussion around a potential open-source path for it :)

EDIT: removed "for security reasons among other things" as it might imply WAPM is not secure, and that's definitely not the case
The thread about their families don't love them - was it on Kamil Galeev twitter account?
I think it's wrong. Many are from minority ethnicities where family ties are strong. I suspect it is a possible psyops. If they start to believe no one loves them back home it's easier to just desert, get 10k$ and stay in Ukraine.

As someone who used to have a server in my dorm room but switched to outsourcing it I stopped because the list of technologies I had to keep track of kept monotonically growing and I had no interest in making it my day job.

AWS Lambda, "serverless compute". No servers to manage. No runtimes to deal with. You load functions into a cloud provider (AWS for example) and feed the function inputs from other AWS services like a queue or an API endpoint. Pay only for the execution of the function based on input.

It's really amazing conceptually, but like the parent said, there aren't many self-hosting options out there. IIRC there is some Apache project, but is there anything in the world for which there isn't?

edit - I just realized that isn't the context of the OP's statement. Heh.
