With current trends of surveillance capitalism and nickle-and-diming for every single useful feature, I can only imagine mind-uploading getting closer to an eternal torture than a pleasant afterlife.

Some interesting resources that explore this view, which also happen to fill me with existential horror at the prospect of being uploaded (especially against my will):

Not only that, but they also have an extensive collection of camera profiles and lens corrections for pretty much every vendor. Their support for Sony and Fuji are particularly great.
(Author here.) I cleared this up a bit on a past thread. I was using "SQL" here as a shorthand for "SQL RDMBSes", not quite "SQL the language".

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9670379

Also, SQL RDBMSes have changed in the intervening ~7 years. For example, PostgreSQL now has a native JSON data type[1] and many functions for working with JSON blob storage[2]. Lucene still handles unstructured text indexing and search use cases in a more direct way, however, and is still a magical analytical engine when wielded in the right way.

We are arguing over a moot point. If section 230 or whatever does not provide for free speech. Then that is what needs to be improved upon. Perhaps make it more clear that free speech is guaranteed.

I have noticed your product before, very well done!
Cool.

Actually the telemetry has nothing to do with our monetization.

Enterprise is right. We are monetizing through team and enterprise features. We are planning to build among others:

- Sharing hard-to-remember workflows within your team

- Wikis and READMEs that run directly in the terminal

- Session sharing for joint debugging
Looks absolutely disgusting.
Hmm, I’ve definitely had commands run in the terminal that were speed limited by how fast the terminal could output the results.
Without getting to "rate of profit tends to fall-y" the goal of a business, rather than its owners, should be to become a utility.

I think putting real enterprise focus on the terminal is a good thing but I'm not sure that's the right place for IAM or other security integrations. The terminal is just the GUI rendering on top of the actual tool (bash/zsh etc.) The security probably needs to be at the door (ssh/https etc).
Actually in this case some of the school administrators themselves are also part of the little red guards. Don't just blame the "students".

Exactly, that's why people tend not to choose Windows for development unless they're forced to.

Databases already exist to provide enough info to target your house. For most people that don’t have million dollar paintings, the likelihood of an attack or a leak of a national database attracting more the thieves than the general property value of your house is extremely low.

Also those “more expensive items” and the more general coverage limits are already in insurance company databases, and I wouldn’t bet on them being any more secure than a random SaaS startup.

The death of the web is because most people don't want what you want. They don't mind walled gardens, so long as they are easy to use and have the content and connections that they want to see.

The audience of HN is extremely skewed towards preferring systems that allow tinkering but that's not what the market wants.
Sorry to be a killjoy, but $6/kwh is at least 20x too expensive. In 2021, the average price of electricity in the US was 14 cents/kwh. Assuming you charge with free electricity, your charge-discharge efficiency is 100%, there is no capacity loss over the years, and your cost of capital is zero, you need more than 40 years to break even at that price. All the 4 assumptions above and a few others (zero installation and maintenance cost, zero insurance, zero cost of disposal) are super unrealistic.
The terminal is where I input my ssh passwords, my sudo passwords, crypto stuff, ssh keys and much more sensitive data. The fact that you even considered collecting stuff from me while using it is insane. I don't trust your promise to never "sell my data" and I don't trust that the next one which will buy your company when you decide to "exit" will do the same (I will when it's fully open source but that's not the case is it?). We shouldn't be talking about telemetry and data collected on a terminal to begin with.

Good luck with your product but HN does take privacy somewhat serious, I know I do.

the remaining 10% of the 90%-off free lunch is pretty much just eventual consistency - it can occasionally be the case that you write something to the DB, and an immediate subsequent write doesn't see it. That said, there are escape-hatches there (we'll proxy queries that happen inside of a transaction to the upstream mysql/postgresql database, and there's an experimental implementation of opt-in Read-Your-Writes consistency), and I'd wager that the vast majority of "traditional" web applications can tolerate slightly stale reads.

This is why UI is hard. In a parallel universe they made the re-run jobs button like you want, and there's some person at the top of the Hacker News comments in that universe making the complaint that it's too hard to tell what the buttons do, and that only the common path of rebuilding failed builds is easy and once you need to do something uncommon it becomes irritatingly complex.
> If major platforms de-platform you, in a co-ordinated fashion that's not censorship?

Not in a world where you can continue to post on Infowars or 4chan or reddit or HN or wherever instead, no. Why would it be? You really don't see the difference? In Russia, it is illegal to report on international perspectives about events in Ukraine. That content doesn't exist, and you can't link to it without committing a crime (and, likely, also using a ban evasion tool like a VPN).

Do you have an example of an idea or perspective (even one!) that is being suppressed by "major platforms" in a "co-ordinated fashion" that I won't be able to refute with a simple link as I did above?

I am going to butcher this, but my sense is this counter culture against the big heavy opinionated frameworks arose from that generation of programmers who in a sense "grew up" (career wise) on things like Rails. Like others have said, there eventually comes a time where you are fighting the framework more than the framework is providing value, and having learned the value of the abstractions and functionality through multiple applications, they then became able to pick and choose a finer subset for a particular problem or domain.

The best of both worlds, in my opinion, is a loosely coupled set of opinionated tools and libraries, but that also has a tool that provides a unifying interface into the "golden path" for using those together to provide some functionality.

> What do you think, going back to your first day, if you were CEO could have been done?

Not quite sure. You correctly pointed out SGI (HP, Sun, everyone else in the workstation segment) was suffering with Windows NT eating it from below. To counter that, SGI would need something to compete in price. IRIX always had excellent multiprocessor support and, with transistors getting smaller, adding more CPUs could give it some breathing room without doing any microarchitectural changes. For visualization hardware the same also applies - more dumb hardware with wider buses on a smaller node cost about the same while delivering better performance. To survive, they needed to offer something that's different enough from Windows NT boxes (on x86, MIPS and Alpha back then) while maintaining a better cost/benefit (and compatibility with software already created). I'd focus in low-end entry-level systems that could compete with the puny x86's by way of superior hardware-software integration. The kind of what Apple does, when you open the M1-based Air and it's out of hibernation before the lid is fully opened.

> I always thought for Sun OpenSource Solaris, embracing x86, being RedHat and eventually Cloud could have been the winning combination.

I think embracing x86 was a huge mistake by Sun - it helped legitimize it as a server platform. OpenSolaris was a step in the right direction, however, but their entry level systems were all x86 and, if you are building on x86, why would you want to deploy on much more expensive SPARC hardware?

Sun never even tried to make a workstation based on Niagara (first gen would suck, second gen not so much), and OpenSolaris was too little, too late - by then the ship had sailed and technical workstations were all x86 boxes running Linux.

Relatedly, the delaying actions on "fight for $15" is darkly genius. It puts off implementing it, of course, but also every month of inflation eats away at the "$15" number. Wikipedia says the campaign was started in 2012, so today it should be $18.78.

The number in the slogan stays the same, but reality slips out from under it. The democrats are about to lose the midterms, so if it doesn't get done in the next few months, they'll be another six years of inflation from even getting another swing at the ball.

> If someone steals your laptop and dumps the secret, that's sure as hell not my problem to solve.

I'm actually curious about the legal situation of stuff like this. Specifically,

1. You issue me a token,

2. that token gets stolen,

3. the stolen token is used to run up a big bill on your service,

4. I refuse to pay that bill (the case being "my laptop was stolen and your service was stolen -- sucks to by both of us, but it's not my obligation to reimburse you for that theft"),

5. You sue me.

What happens? I'm actually genuinely curious, with respect to "stolen services": whose problem is it, really?

What if we insert a new step between 3 and 4 where I tell you the token was stolen, but you choose to accept the token anyways (because eg there wasn't an automated process and the ticket takes a few hours to be resolved)?

Sirened specifically :))
I do not know anything about Blazor Server app or how it works. DataGridXL is all about client-side interaction: mouse events, touch events, keyboard events etc, as such it cannot function on a server alone, if that is what you mean.

Nope. I have never used Windows on any of my personal machines, not ever. I am waiting this MS Windows thing out, you could say.

At work I have used it in some cases when not given the choice.

If some company I am working for is fine with the Windows CLIs telemetry, then I suppose it is up to them, although I'd argue against it.
This is the company that made $600K revenue with 500 employees while their CEO was sharing sky jumps videos on Twitter and trying to be a "thought leader". Next one in this space that is questionable is Bolt which has a similar influencer CEO who's active on Twitter.

Agreed, that's why I find it so difficult to leave rails/ruby. I really like Clojure+Datomic+Clojurescript but I can't justify the extra work needed compared to the extensive tooling and library support that rails has since it's mature and widely used.
Here's what I originally wrote:

> Elon Musk is kind of obnoxious. He lies (or "exaggerates"). But what Tesla has done is insane. It's happened so quickly, and that's leaving aside the rockets. The hard evidence that we can build new things, that we can progress and build a future that's better than the present is so important. If it takes a flawed man to show us that, I'll take it.

> If you hate Elon Musk, consider probing your mind deeply to figure out why. It may just be that you're an Ayn Rand villain.

Please show me where I said "there is nothing legitimately off putting about Elon’s public persona".

> No, java script has two built in number types, number and bigint

BigInt is a new feature, I am only talking about Number. Hence “old”.

In the ECMAScript 3 specification (and later versions), it's specified that the bitwise operators convert the value to a 32-bit signed integer, with two's-complement wraparound behaviour. The input (Number) and output (Number) is notionally a 64-bit float, but this doesn't mean there aren't integer operations. And in fact in any modern JS engine, integer values of this kind will be stored as integers, not floats, for efficiency's sake.

There is an entire 32-bit C-compatible abstract machine (asm.js) built on top of this primitive!

I've interviewed many FAANG employees as a startup hiring manager. They passed the technical bar at a higher rate, but many were not able to stomach the salary cut. Even fewer adjusted to the environment.

Found the individual, their attitude and work track record were better signals for fit than FAANG vs. startup dev.

The crime of aggression is a war of conquest expressly to expand borders and/or subjugate people. And it is the supreme international crime because it is the genesis of all the evils that follow. That is the judgement from Nuremberg. The UN Charter and Geneva Conventions clearly separate between your examples and what's going on in Russia-Ukraine in 2014, Georgia in 2009, and Ukraine today.

Not all wars are crimes of aggression. You have to distinguish between them. You have to hold people accountable for the worst crimes, in particular when they are simple, or you've lost the entire system of accountability and prevention.

Iraq invaded Kuwait. That is a simple and clear crime of aggression. The UN Security Council did get involved, and voted for intervention, as the Charter requires. Every UN resolution against Iraq since then (around a dozen) stem from this initial event.

Regarding the 2003 invasion, either an imaginative person or an informed person could say: well, UN resolution 1441's "very serious consequences" for non-compliance by Iraq could very well mean military intervention, but I personally think that's Yamok Sauce, so I'm not buying it. Nevertheless, I can see that as a possibly viable legal argument. Plus, 31 countries agreed it was compelling enough to proceed with a multilateral intervention, which never sought to make Iraq the 51st state of the U.S., nor subjugate its people. i.e. Bush 2 invading Iraq was stupid and a bad idea, but not at all in the same category as what Russia has done to Ukraine.

I may be wrong, here are my impressions from 5 minutes spent googling - he already made his fortune in past decades. He is not really in the limelight, not building revolutionary stuff or going up against govt/corporate interests. He is pretty old and has already planned to donate major portions of his wealth already. Elon has signed the giving pledge too btw.
Why would employees want a subscription though?

Considering you can buy a Xiaomi scooter for like $400 (which is easily affordable to most google employees), then why would someone want the extra hassle of managing a subscription to avoid paying $44/mo… assuming someone wanted a scooter in the first place.

This is basically a faux-perk.

There is act[0] which aims to let you run github actions locally via Docker. It isn't perfect but it does a decent job at it, and for the most part your pipeline can be run locally.

That said, I agree eye movement is a great way to convey feeling, and Horizon Zero Dawn did it well (and its DLC even better). Yakuza 0 is another example of doing a good job. The exagerated animation style also shows in the characters' eye movements.

Your answer reminded me of the Ford quote: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, I just strongly believe that in 20 years we'll look back at our Googling years and wonder how we managed to find anything at all.

Edit: okay, maybe not 20 years. Decades, perhaps.
It is unrelated because you don't have this issue with pnpm. pnpm uses a central content-addressable store and each unique file is written only once on a disk. It doesn't matter in how many projects you install the same dependency.
