My personal site including my blog about dev tools, academia, usability, and product design.
http://gally.net/

I started this site in the late 1990s as a place to post personal projects—music, photographs, writing. I left it dormant for a long time, but last year, in a brief fit of energy, I redesigned it to make it display better on mobile devices.

Not long before I began the redesign, I read some advice on HN about keeping websites simple, so that’s what I tried to do with the page design and navigation. It’s all handcoded HTML with some simple CSS. The only JavaScript is short, handmade scripts in the headers of two of the photograph pages to randomize the photos that appear when the pages load.

Other than advertising some books I’ve written, I’ve never used this site for work. But just yesterday, I posted my CV to the About page—not to attract work, as I will be retiring soon, but as a record of my academic career.
https://xenodium.com

All posts are written to a giant org file.

https://github.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.io/blob/master/i...

This wasn’t by design but more accidental. The file started as my notes, and eventually exported it to html as a single page (using built-in export). That page grew too large over time, so I wrote some custom elisp code to split into multiple html pages served by GitHub pages:

https://github.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.io

The custom elisp code I wrote isn’t particularly elegant, pretty, nor reusable but does the job for me.

In short, it’s a frankenstenian hack of sorts I’ll likely regret at some point, but at the moment fairly maintenance-free.

I also got these pages for apps I built, just plain 'ol html:

Haha, ok well you got me there. :) when i get right down to it, I've only paid for my porn out of a sense of patronage, not necessity. Shame about that dampening factor, but its also allowed me to appreciate more niche and interesting erotica, akin to adults who can eat interesting food dishes compared to kids who prefer hamburgers and macaroni.
Most federated services DO heavily focus on identity as username@server though, and don't have any real account sync.
Super pedantic and unimportant nitpick: I think you mean to use "lets" instead of "let's", which is a contraction of "let us"
There's a difference between trusting Go without reading its source (no dependencies other than the previous version of Go and maybe a C compiler if you want to bootstrap it from version 1.4, run in production at big tech companies, actively maintained by Google) and trusting Hugo (1200 deps, huge plugin ecosystem with less battle-tested packages, unaudited templates that could inject anything they want into your site unless you read each release carefully).

Golang is "only" 2 million lines of code, and it's quite easy to go look at the implementation of something, as the docs link directly to the code. It wouldn't be impossible to read through it, particularly if you skipped architectures other than x86 and parts of the standard library you didn't use.
If your goal is to help people find something that they could try, i.e. telling people about using galangal instead of ginger, then sure.

Since "authentic" is such a weird and ephemeral thing that's hard to pin down, policing people's language generally just comes across as petty and small.
Google created Kubernetes so potential competitors are dragged down with immense technical debt, of course they’re not going to award internal advancement of it.
For the record emulators exist:

Not sure how hard it is to get the system software.

There are other ways to get time on one, including via IBM in an 'online course' of sorts:

It's a fun unrelated fact that neurons come from the germ (embrionic) layer of cells which correspond to external cells, like the skin.

i.e. neurons are made from ectoderm germ cells (not endoderm --inside, nor mesoderm -- middle, but outer layer)
I'm not sure if it's really that popular but Visual Programming gives the ability for designers to quickly implement their ideas without having to ask and waiting for a programmer to implement them via code.

For example, in the case of Unreal Engine, gameplay programmers build the basic blocks via C++, and game designers can access them via Blueprint (Unreal Engine's visual programming tool).
Or perhaps a gentleman thief who stole them from the original thief and returned them!
In our local places, you can order Tacos (soft corn tortilla) or Tacos Dorados (fried corn tortilla). Flour tortillas are more of a side in this case.
I often feel the same way. I feel like I'm reading the blog of a tech newbie at the level of discovering `symlinks` for the very first time. The title is overrated and seems clickbait-y and so I was left disappointed.
All right, I'll bite:

I instinctively want to "flip the sign" on all of the automated controls they put in, just out of the morbid interest to see what comes out. The moment you have a "avoid_harm_to_humans:bool" training parameter, someone's going to set it to -1.

Their document about all the measures they took to prevent unethical use is also a document about how to use a re-implementation of their system unethically. They literally hired a "red team" of smart people to come up with the most dangerous ideas for misusing their system (or a re-implementation of it), and featured these bad ideas prominently in a very accessibly written document on their website. So many fascinating terrible ideas in there! They make a very compelling case that the technology they are developing has way more potential for societal harm than good. They had me sold at "Prompt: Park bench with happy people. + Context: Sharing as part of a disinformation campaign to contradict reports of a military operation in the park."
Most of Europe operate just fine without tips.
Yep, and Kismet before that. The usual consumers are designers and tech artists, at least in the teams I was on.

Previous to that we also heavily leveraged Lua coroutines as a form of literate programming/game "script". Since the coroutines would execute in a linear manner(with yield() where it handed execution back to the engine) it was really powerful for scripted sequences.

Another interesting area is industrial/PLC programming. The parallels between what we did in gamedev and ladder programming was striking. Visual state representation, online edit-deploy-debug. I'm fairly confident you could give a designer a copy of a ladder editor connected to a game engine and they would have no problem scripting out a sequence.

Simple and to the point. It looks almost the same as my actual business card.
I differentiate between "believe" and "support".

I support free software, have been an FSF member for decades, and that's all swell and spiffy.

But I fall short of believing in free software, because this is and intellectual, not a moral choice. The libertarian, common-sense argument for free software has massive traction.

However, it simply does not follow that an (arguably myopic) choice for two parties to enter into a non-free software licensing agreement is somehow "immoral". It's a business decision, folks. Non-swift decisions are made all the time.

Furthermore, I'd contend that free software helps itself through evangelistic zeal and moralizing arguments not at all. When I'm in the mood for good preachin', I'll head to church.
Also given that a lambda instance can only handle one request at a time, it generally gets very poor CPU utilization.

Google cloud-run can handle multiple requests at a time, but still suspends the instance while no requests are being processed, and is billed to the nearest 100ms
We trialed switching our EC2/ASG based queue worker over, price went up 10x-100x.
> going L6->7 at Google is worth ~200k/year, 7->8 is ~400. Similar patterns at other places. People have kids, mortgages, student loans

Honestly this is a bit ridiculous. If making 500k as an L6 isn't good enough for you maybe you should be working on projects that provably bring your company revenue?
https://explog.in -- a few posts over the past decade. I've tried to keep it fairly simple and straightforward.

Generated with emacs running in a Github action (https://explog.in/config.html); comes with a slipbox (https://explog.in/slipbox/index.html) that I fill in using LogSeq and export to a flat website using emacs again.
This is also the case for most government contracts, including many/most NSF funding opportunities: talk to the program manager first; if they are interested they'll tell you what they'd really like to see. Ideally talk to them (months) before the opportunity is issued so it talks about your strengths.
To me if it tastes good it is "authentic". I do not care about the rest, leave it to the professionals.
What do you plan to do with the platform that you have built?

Is all of the code being thrown away?
See for example all of the "authentic" Italian dishes that use tomatoes.
I'm not seeing much action, but this is one area where Biden has the right talk. The rich (define north of $500k/yr) can play games. Here's two off hand I know in my circle:

- a family has non-trivial assets and income in three states but for federal and tax purposes they live in TN where's there's no state tax. The other two states are def not cheap compared to TN. This was setup by buying a house and having a part time job in TN for about 1 year to establish bonafide residency much of which stopped once gained

- business owner takes annual trip to Florida for business training with board/ management. That's a write off. But with some fancy accounting the owner smiles saying once they open the meeting with lunch, they left and spent the rest of week playing golf.

Whether the company or individual the rich guys are taxed less than me.

The bottom 40% (??) don't pay much either.

That leaves the upper middle class to foot a lot of the hill. Well I'm calling BS on that.
It's an exceedingly popular way of writing materials/shaders in 3D content tools -- I'd guess more so than any game programming/logic (of course big game engines tend to have visual shader tools as well)

It can be (usually is) far less intimidating than text-based coding. Compare:

- a text editor with a hello-world template script, a whole keyboard and now the engine yells at you because you (bravely) did something trivial to start, like adding a blank line in between "hello" and "world"

- a canvas with a big "add node" button which brings up a list of verbs and nouns organised into native-language categories

Asynchronous code can be hard to follow.
Visual programming / node graphs are actually pretty good at representing complicated asynchronous logic.

I think this is pretty closely related to why diagrams / drawing / whiteboards are commonly cited as helpful by programmers.

I haven't used Unreal Blueprints. I have used Unreal (3, UDK) Kismet which is not particularly related (to Blueprints) other than the "Unreal" part, AFAIK. It was quite capable for most level design scripting logic, but was not ideal for implementing new mechanics for example. You could also copy nodes in/out as plaintext which I always appreciated as a feature I don't see very often.

I have a blog[0], I write stuff. I don't have a job yet but I blog about my personal life and on technical problems, feelings, and stuff.

I also have a website with other things here and there [5].

The blog itself is literally a git repository, browsable here[1]. Whenever I push, it runs a git hook that executes build commands. The blog is composed of markdown files.

All the blog can be rebuilt by following the instructions and is meant to be as platform-agnostic as possible, meaning you could host it under any webserver under any path, links are relative, etc.

The blog system I use is blogit [2]; originally created by Pedantic software but has been heavily modified by yours truly[4]. Under the hood it's literally a makefile, unix `sed,grep,etc` to make tagging and other static stuff. It uses the markdown parser discount[3] to parse markdown into html. It is fully static and you can deploy it and just put a simple python http server on it. I use lighttpd, because I have some services set up.

My blog about topics I keep discussing with other people. Highest I've been is #2 on the front page. :)
What Maxar has to with the cyclist? The cyclist video is completely independent from Maxar.

Investigation only is needed to find who of Russians did it. That it was done by Russians is clear from all the available information. Ie. we don't know the names of the gunners, yet we do know it were Russian APCs who shot the cyclist. And those gunners wouldn't care about your white armband. There is rich history how Russian/USSR convoys have been entering cities even back in 80ties like Baku for example or Chechnya in 90ties, and Bucha isn't an exception here.
And it's actually pretty clever from a performance point-of-view.

You always have to read the inode to determine whether the file is executable. The inode included the locations of the first "direct" blocks of the file's contents. So if the file is empty you know that immediately.

If the file even had a single comment line, it would mean having to do a disk seek to read it. So it would effectively double the disk I/O needed to run "/bin/true"

Honestly if the job ad surfaces someone who can do the job and doesn't need all that immigration rigamarole I'll take them in a flash. I'll save a ton just in lawyers and time lost.

And isn't that how it's supposed to work: hire local in preference to bringing in someone from outside? I'm an immigrant myself and I still think that's a good idea.
FOSS was innovating a lot, and then it took a major hit when people decided code and features were evil and they didn't want to risk any extra attack surface, and then all the P2P types seemingly mostly moved to blockchain dev.

Plus, I suppose most P2P was piracy driven and piracy is no longer an everyday conversation topic, or something a lot of people would even think of.

That might also have something to do with why the privacy conversation moved away from things like neutrality and right to encrypt, to focusing almost entirely on extreme hate for telemetry.

Content is statically generated from an AsciiDoc text file wiki managed by a Vim plugin. Though I write heavy Web applications for a living, there's no JS on my personal website except on specific pages with interactive tools. After a revamp a couple years ago, all dynamic server-side actions are handled with old-school CGI applications. Retro and loving it.

I'm really enjoying looking at everyone else's sites!
MultiLogin is the first batch of anti-association browsers used in the cross-border e-commerce industry. the update frequency of MultiLogin has decreased. At the same time, the adjustment of risk control policies of major stations such as Amazon has accelerated, resulting in the ban of a number of accounts using the MultiLogin anti-association browser.
Lalicat fingerprint browser processes browser fingerprints in the most original way and allows websites to read "mask fingerprints" different from your real fingerprints. This method replaces the old method of preventing websites from reading any fingerprints or relying on plug-ins to generate and modify fingerprints. It can help you maintain a high level of online privacy when visiting websites that use CSP 1.1. it While hiding real information, it protects you from XSS attacks and strengthens the function of font and plugins camouflage.
Advantages of Lalicat Fingerprint Browser over MultiLogin
(1) The fingerprint database is updated from time to time every week, which can better cope with the change of Amazon risk control policy; (2) It can be used on a wide range of platforms and can operate many businesses; (3) Lalicat fingerprint browser can work all the operations that can be worked on the web page.

I'm not sure how the embeddings ("descriptions") work in DALL-E yet, but in a lot of models they're fixed-length. So there's a natural limit on how many concepts you mention in the first pass before it'll just start leaving them out.

Why do you have to sprinkle that positivity in there? It implies a toxic role of “I am naive”.

Ah, I’m just jerking your chain. For the most part I agree with you. Calling the way other people do things a “monstrosity” really is uncalled for.

My professional stand up comedy website.

It is intended to,

-promote my stand up comedy
-fans to find my show dates,
- agents to get my bio, headshot etc.,

This is half-true. For plenty of services it is easy to add "custom domain" support, and then your identity is your domain.
Depends what you consider greenfield. 2 major projects were rewrites from scratch, but already had a user base/design for the old system.

13 other "full" projects on my portfolio, as in functional, pretty UI, designed from requirements with no designer, but not necessarily commercialized.

A bunch more other prototypes, probably more than a dozen. Some were hackathon tier, functional but purposeless. Some took months and were paid but didn't form into a proper product. Some were freelance projects from some hack who decided to step out. If you include dumb ideas that I get excited for 2 weeks, there are plenty of those too.

One active personal project that has 2000 monthly users. It took about 3 years to write the first line of code because I was trying to figure out the correct approach and didn't like the sketches. The first prototype was terrible. V7 was active since 2020 and has its fans.
On a related note, officials in Hong Kong has been talking about locking down the city and making everyone take PCR tests since the latest outbreak. The original plan is to lock down in late March. That was postponed presumably due to pushes from the industry. The official reason is, laughably, an inadequate number of quarantine spaces.

I think the Shanghai lockdown is to show Hong Kong that how to lock down a megapolis relatively cleanly. Dividing the city into two halves and locking down each half for 5 days. End up extending the lockdown due to every district in Shanghai has confirmed cases. Can't say it went well.
The assumption that automation creates (or at least does not destroy) jobs is an extrapolation from the past despite the fact that the nature of automation is constantly changing/evolving.

Also, one thing that everyone seems to ignore is that even if the number of jobs are not reduced, the skill/talent level for doing those jobs may (actually DO) increase and also, switching careers does not work for everyone. So you'll inevitably have people without a job even if it's just that the job market is shifting.

But I argue that as automation reaches jobs with higher levels of sophistication, i.e. the jobs of more skilled workers, some people will simply be left out because of their talent won't be enough to do any job that has not been automated.
You are not a cynic. What you describe is very much real. 10% of software developers do 90% of the work.
There's also HonKit, which is a fork of gitbook.

I think its only because Unreal has one, and everybody wants to be like Unreal.

I think Lua in Roblox, or the Godot's python like language, or Unity's C# is strictly better in every way.

Visual Programming languages don't prevent "non programmers" from writing really weird code that makes no sense.

You will find many first time programmers that like visaul programming because they created something cool in Unreal. I think if there was a Lua integration they would have achieved more, faster.

We use words to communicate our thoughts in comments on Hacker News. What would our communication be like if we only had flow charts you could plug variables into?

CBT does not work for everyone. It's "pretty straightforward" for sure, almost laughbly so. It's a culturally-insenstitive framework for mental illness that, as you exlicitly state, is about "calling out those cognitive distortions".

Which implicitly assumes that your cognition IS distorted.

- what if that creep who's stalking you actually IS a rapist?
- what if your strained work situation actually IS a hostile takeover that's trying to sabatoge your company?
- what if your family member's strange behavior actually IS a red light for suicide?
- what if your investment in X IS actually going to tank and your family is going broke?

CBT is so focussed on the idea that anxieties are "cogntive distortions" that it completely alientates anyone for whom those worries are realized, regularly.
Thanks for sharing. Personally I also add

Is this a quote or something? The takeaway seems to be to beware of everyone.
The court orders allowed the F.B.I. to go into domestic corporate networks and remove the malware, sometimes without the company’s knowledge.
