The drivers situation for embedded Linux SoCs is awful. Fuchsia aims to fix that. Security model is better. Licensing I guess is easier to deal with. The OS structure is explicitly modeled for the kind of consumer hardware projects in question instead of, y'know, a PDP-11.

None of this changes that the rollout for these things could be done incrementally in parallel with the existing Linux based platforms, with an eye to produce shared components whenever possible instead of rewriting the world. The Fuchsia folks were notorious for their obsession with purity of essence, and because they had the headcount and $$, they just did what they wanted.

Some of the New York camera stores are closed on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) to this day. I think there's even one or two that actually disable ordering from their web site on that day.

A state I lived in as a child allowed grocery stores, restaurants, and pharmacies to be open on Sunday, but not much else. Restaurants were also allowed to sell alcohol on Sunday, while liquor stores weren't. A local restaurant took advantage of this double loophole and put in a drive-through booze window that they only opened on Sunday.
Just like the banning of Russian TV channels, this is another step towards the same totalitarianism that the West prides itself on being in opposition to. Scary how it happened so fast, and without any public debate.
They are 2x. I would prefer 5K over 4K as 1080px wide is a little narrow for some websites these days, but I have not found suitably good (and reasonably priced) monitor for doing that yet.

Also, my old 2018 MBP was at its limit driving them all. My new M1 Max has no problem with them (and would be fine with 3x 5K displays as well), so it's looking more possible now.
It seems risky though. One runaway process that accidentally floods this infinitely scalable Amazon cloud with requests and you could quickly rack up a huge bill. I'm not sure I want this hanging over my head during development and testing. It's problematic enough in production.
How to auto-deploy a web app with Nginx in DevOps
I'm not an ethical vegan or a vegan at all, but I'm aware of our mass agricultural system being terrible ethically for animals.

If just chickens and cows ceased to exist, I don't think the world would suffer too much. Goose and ducks would fill the role chickens have in aerating the soil.

> To be devoid of purpose due to lack of existence?

Plenty of people and creatures commit suicide when life is too much to bear. Sometimes depriving oneself of life can be a blessing. If I was hooked up to a machine that just drained me of blood, milk, or something else and I was force fed, I'd probably kill myself if able. Why do we not afford a creature the same pity?

And again, I say this as someone who eats meat.
I agree eval is pretty gross and folks should not be encouraging its use since it can lead to bad habits.

Quit/exit are pretty innocuous though. I actually just thought exit was an alias for sys.exit. I've never had a problem using plain exit() in programs.
I know people who are voluntarily becoming non-owners, which I think is a bad mistake.

One friend has always had a lavish life style, and when recently hit by cash shortage, they sold their house to a bank as a reverse mortgage. They did this 18 months ago so current high inflation is harmful to them.

Someone else I know just sold their only rental property because of high prices. Such a mistake because that rental property was a small hedge against inflation.

The World Economic Forum (the Davos billionaire club) have been test running advertisements saying that you will own nothing in the future and be very happy. To me this seems like an attack on freedom of some degree of financial independence.
I'll come out of my shell a few times a week and won't understand what's going on. News sites just tell me the last 18 hours' worth of updates... So... I either disengage entirely and can't carry on a conversation or I stay engaged and worry about events I cannot affect.

I'd like a "I haven't checked the news in [7] days and some guy at work mentioned [Ukraine talking to the UN], what's that all about?" website.

I guess it'd be 7 days worth of news synopses for the topic.

[7 days ago this city fell, Joe said stern words about it, and the Sauds started selling oil in Yuan because it didn't want China to get all its oil from Russia.]

Beyond those arguments, it's also important to remind that we should work between 20 or 30 hours per week, not more.

There are things to learn about the antiwork mentality. Not saying everyone should quit their job, but still, it would be nice if everyone could be able to negotiate with their employees.

I have often been called a parasite, and honestly, it comforts me in realizing that I should not compete with people who turn work into a competition. Those people will generate enough taxes and labor for lazy people like me, and it's okay.
FWIW, moving a window to a different workspace is also constant-time (shift+mod+digit). Maybe I'd spend another half second positioning it among the tiles (shift+mod+vim navigation keys), but only if I'm just starting a project.
I dunno.

I've wondered if I can paint a "Z" on somebody's car and then people will trash it. Maybe it happens only in Ukraine.

There's a lot of precedent for this in Germany. A Berliner went to jail circa 2000 for training his dog to make the Hitler salute. Rumor has it that the Nazis persecuted people for the same thing but the opposite reason.

> The State-of-the-Art in Practical Software Assurance

Unfortunately I cannot take this very seriously, if it is completely ignorant of the Spark/Ada ecosystem and presents Rust as the "state of the art".

Rust has some nice properties, but there is an entire field of programming languages and compilers designed for building safety-critical software for aerospace and defense. Unfortunately, it looks like that is going to be forgotten, or rather, intentionally overwritten by ignorance.
My dad bought me my first computer, a Commodore VIC-20, from Crazy Eddie's when I was 5. When people ask me how I got started programming, I tell them the story of the VIC-20 from Crazy Eddie's, often having to explain what Crazy Eddie's was if the questioner is a millennial or younger. The chain and especially the commercials were part of the cultural landscape especially in the northeast, and were even parodied in television and movies.

So, if I get this right, this should be a drop-in replacement for current SSH servers? I get that an adapter has to be built to support sshd config files, but is that the ultimate goal here? Is security the main selling point of this project?
The decision to do an IPO for a company that was literally not paying payroll taxes and keeping profits in suitcases just has to go down as one of the worst criminal decisions in recorded history.

Like without the IPO I would suspect they could have gone on for many many years basically skimming and scamming the government, maybe with some eventual consequences and fines but most likely being able to pay their way out of it.
I guess just blocking literal “Netflix” will cause 90% (99%?) of searches by consumers that “just want to watch Netflix” to fail. And if no one is finding scammers’ ads, maybe there will also be fewer scammers.

So perhaps the dumb approach is “effective enough”.
Organized Crime Took over Canada’s Towing Industry
W3C had released redacted snapshots (HTML 5, 5.1, and 5.2) of WHATWG's so-called "living standard", then published HTML 5.3 as a reference to a specific WHATWG commit and for a short time promised more supposedly at least qa'd snapshots, then last year finally gave up and just linked to WHATWG's head [1]. SVG2 didn't go anywhere either due to lack of interest of "browser vendors". MathML hasn't been updated in many years AFAIK. So that leaves ARIA and CSS.

Whatever W3C does and with due respect to TBL, as a self-proclaimed standardization body they've failed spectacularly to keep "browsers vendors" at bay and the web from being monopolized, and I think they should disband, if only to demonstrate to the world that the web isn't "standardized" in any meaningful sense of that word. Even HNers frequently have illusions about "web standards".

While on the way out, they might attempt to deliver CSS specs actually useful for developing browsers. Or maybe they want to venture into developing a browser themselves using their funds?

Plenty of money, but not enough discipline and focus to make that happen.

After years in this industry and seeing so many things like this just fail, my perspective is that the "right" way to do it (rewrites/replatforms) is build shared components and have teams that deploy to both and so live in both worlds.

This way the old gets the new, and the new has to live and breathe the reasons for the compromises that the old lived through the first time. And you don't end up with a "legacy" team and a "future" team.

Example: I tried (a bit half-heartedly and I was low-status so nobody cared) to pitch that we write a new screenreader for Home Hub rather than brutally kludging in the one from ChromeOS. A new screenreader that could be shared with Fuchsia, as they were writing one from scratch. If building from scratch why not build one as a component that can be shared? That approach was seen as a total non-starter by the people I talked to. Fuchsia got to write their shiny new thing basically in isolation and barely interacted with us poor folk who had to keep maintaining the actual-existing screenreader deployed on several million devices in people's homes. Mainly fell to my friend/coworker who was a hero.

BTW we both quit the same day.
Is it possible that you and I are as susceptible as all humanity throughout history to consensus beliefs?

You would probably disagree with how Christianity framed the common worldview in Europe in the Middle Ages. Or how Islamic beliefs did the same in the Islamic countries. Or Ancient India. Etc. But you are convinced that you are closer to a true understanding of reality now than they were. Why? Can you explain why your view of reality is better via the use of reason alone, without reference to your culture?

I would think you would struggle. Perhaps some older views of the world were as well or better reasoned than the beliefs we presently take for granted. And I say 'belief' because even if we think such-and-such is 'known to us' unless you have personally verified it, is is a belief not knowledge to you. It is an illusion of knowledge.

Questions about understanding objective reality are mostly answered by consensus answers ('palmed off', is more accurate). Most of us live in a world of belief, where we cannot truly claim to know very much. For example - how did you prove the earth was a ball to yourself such that you can call that knowledge, even though the intuitive working assumption that we all share is that it is flat? Most likely you assume that some scientist has got this, so you don't need to know.

I say that accepting this sort of 'fast and loose' belief despite any personal experience, is to do a dis-service to oneself. It leaves one susceptible to common misunderstandings, unable to evaluate things for oneself, demanding an authority figure to guide one through the morass of difficult questions.

This is plainly a dis-empowered position. There are surely lots of nefarious characters that would seek to take advantage of people's misplaced faith, no?

By just looking at the thumbnails of the videos I see that Nebula is not the solution but part of the problem. It's the same clickbaity images all over the place.

With regards to being able to find and filter such content, I'm not sure that point still stands.

I refer you to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, article 19 for a good modern formulation of freedom of speech: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

The above goes against the desires of both the illiberal progressive left and the conservatives in their desire to deplatform those who express beliefs they don't like.
I may spend 100-200 a year on Valorant. However, I am getting way more per hour value out of it than say, a 50 - 60$ single player game that I quit after a single play through.

Far away problems are so much more interesting than those nearby. You needn't really do anything about them, and its much easier to assign your own valuation to anything you do. Your successes can be trumpeted as much as you like and your failures need never be known to anyone but you.
> Those people will generate enough taxes and labor for lazy people like me, and it's okay.

Feels odd to me to make a statement like this. Is it in jest?

In my view everyone should pull the same minimum. Not have some people work more to offset other people working less.
Honestly, the graphics quality is the reason I have 3 4K displays. I run them at 2x scaling and they are not fatiguing to use. 5K would be better though, as 1080 pixels wide feels a little tight on some websites.

A single 8K display would probably be better, but well-reviewed and reasonably priced 8K monitors are not really there yet.

I think we agree.
While my original comment is not my best work by any stretch (sorry), I implore you to reconsider the idea that all motivation is monetary (it's absolutely not) and that patronage must happen on a "platform" that will become corrupt in some way. I think discounting the possibility of novel systems that tackle these problems out of hand is not a good way to start.
>Software with biggest potential for positive impact in 5 years?

sentiment analysis and nudging, when people are angry with each other it is easy for AI to analyze; likewise if people are being tricky, defrauding, etc, it could be analyzed from their interactions facial expressions etc. These behaviors are a drain on the economy and within a few years AI could help solve it. Basically, five years from now when someone gets a "you've just won x", "paid thank you", or even "congratulations you've been hired" AI could ensure there is not someone on the other side of the transaction who is actively tricking them. Something like, "looks like you're trying to defraud or steal from someone. Here are some coursera courses that are a better path for you".

I feel like these things are a real drain on the economy, and lead to mistrust or markets that fail. Successful economies need trust, it is a prerequisite, and lawsuits or law enforcement are a poor substitute. I feel like AI could be used for productive purposes to increase trust in the world. At the limit, imagine if everyone had a helpful friend, who was also friends with everyone else. Within five years, AI could be that friend.
Spot on. Information neutrality seems to mean nothing to Google search now. It was suffering a slow death under the less obvious practice of "personalisation", and is falling fast with algorithmic answers "keeping you on the SERPS page". Actions like this on legal content are a death blow.
I wish it were so simple. Maybe I’ve just been bit by too many bugs in npm over time, but I repeatedly see npm i change the lockfile when incrementally installing a new package that was correctly locked. Fortunately at least npm ci has always been reliable.

What do you mean ci is super fast? Is it intended to be caching the packages somewhere other than node_modules?

I think the norm of an 8 hour workday for salaried employees has more to do with excluding the possibility of your salaried “executives” taking on second jobs than it has to do with productivity.

In other words I think that the 40 hour work week is often structured more as a kind of quasi-indentured servitude than as a factory production shift.

100% agree. I think the 24hr news cycle is a huge contributor to negative mental health.

Skeleton screen serves another purpose than just fast startup metrics.

Not everyone runs good hardware, in fact the majority doesn't. When you click to open something and it doesn't load immediately many people will click again and again which leads to opening 2+ windows and also adding to the loading time of the first one.

When 70%+ of the users are not skilled in tech using laptops on battery saving mode this happens a lot.

While I'll likely continue working my whole life, one thing I would like is some time off to think about my relationship with work and where I should be focusing my energy. Some kind of UBI or other anti-work outcome seems like it could actually provide space for that. I haven't had more than a 2 week lapse in work for 2 decades... and if I did I'd probably be extremely anxious the whole time.

When health insurance and housing rely so heavily on work (speaking from the perspective of an American), not working feels terrifying.

Is it just me that doesn't see a problem with the manual approach at all? Surely, there may be a better way to keep this in sync, but this is not very high effort.

Unrelated, but I can't help but think this should use try_from or even potentially panic. If you get an error type you don't recognize, that could pose a risk.

At least with the manual approach you can decide if particular ranges are safe to ignore or not and do something different. Granted, I'm dreaming up scenarios that are very likely outside the author's intention, so I don't think my thoughts on the matter necessarily refute anything being said.

I've actually found that Improve the News [1] is good for something like that. It has sliders to let you select what kind of new you are looking for with one of the sliders which controls "shelf life" ranging from short to long and "recency" from evergreen to recent. Not exactly what you are looking for, but I've found it can serve a similar purpose.

FWIW, in Tanenbaum's original paper (which the author is reading), the correct meaning of the example is given quite plainly:

"consider a simple UNIX pipeline:
sort <infile | uniq | wc -l >outfile
that sorts infile, an ASCII file with one word per line, strips out the duplicates, and prints the word count on outfile."

So yes, it does seem the author did missed at least that part. Not sure about the rest of their arguments, but at this point, I'd say it's easy enough to find the original paper, which does seem quite readable.

>>But Zinn immediately discovered $45m of listed inventory was missing.

Living in Manhattan in 1983, when the cable installers came to hookup service, they offered us brand new TVs at about half the price of Crazy Eddie's stores - from what little I could find out, it seems they'd been recruited by Eddie's warehouse workers to push fell-off-the-truck / out-the-backdoor sales of Eddie's inventory.

I'd bet that there were a lot of the appointments that bit on that offer. I was not surprised to see Eddie's rapidly declining in the following year. You just can't survive with truckloads of your inventory going missing every day...

And reading about how he paid employees 'off the books', no surprise they were also freelancing off the poorly controlled inventory flow.
