I have fond memories of the SGI machines - workstation and larger - I worked on in the 1990s and early 2000s. Octanes, O2s, Origins, Indigos, and so on.

They were best-in-class for visualization, and when used with Stereographic Crystal Eyes hardware/glasses, 3D was awesome. We also rendered high-quality POV-Ray animations on an O2 in 1996, when the software was barely 5 years old!

My last big computing efforts were on a SGI Origin 2000 (R12000) in 2002, and the allure of that machine was being able to get 32 GB of shared RAM all to myself.
I bought the fully specced out M1 Max (max for everything but SSD, I only got 1TB). Honestly I didn't need the extra GPU at all. I could have been fine with just the 10-core CPU. It's harder to know about memory speeds (Pro vs Max) since I don't have anything to compare with but unless you are doing something GPU intensive (the most intensive thing I'm doing is running 4 external monitors, 3x2K, 1x1080p) you don't need the upgrade. The other Pro vs Max difference that mattered to me was the number of external monitors, I needed the Max to run my setup that my old i9 ran.
The more you know. I'd always heard that he was Hungarian, but not that he was Hungarian-American and lives in Katonah, New York. Pretty insane that he has a reputation on the right as a foreign meddler given those facts.
>> It's not actually wrong: you just have to realize that words have different meanings. The internet is simultaneously: a TCP/IP network and the collection of applications built on top of that network that people use. The first meaning is technical jargon, the second is a more colloquial meaning. Technical meanings are not more correct than other kinds of meanings.

> OK fine, but going with this logic is how you get to "a series of tubes"

No, obviously not. You get to "series of tubes" when you try force a layman grasp the technical TCP/IP network definition instead of accepting their use of the colloquial definition centered on applications.
Pip3 surely?
Also worth watching if you're married to one, as I used to be! One of my ex's favorites and therefore the source of many quips I would otherwise have failed to understand.
Generally the problem is that if your computer gets stolen (or cookie/localstorage etc), the attacker has access to your account for 24 hours. i.e. until there's a check against a disabled-user-list (in the database).

The progression then becomes to reduce it from 24 hours to say 5 minutes (to reduce the attack window, which may or may not be adequate). It then becomes almost the same as validating the user session on each request (not quite, but you start debating if using jwt is worth it at all).
Hm... Pretty solid argument in favor of federated/decentralized protocols, this. Is there anything out there that doesn't suck? Not for chat. We've got Matrix and chat is usually not censored anyway.

Adam Smith: How a Scottish Philosopher Became an Icon of American Capitalism
One thing that I realized after finally dabbling with Python after years in other languages was just how much Python needs Docker in development. There are so many details to get the right version of python working on a project because of system level assumptions that using Python without Docker is a huge pain.

Conversely, the experience of using Ruby within Docker for development is often clunky and awkward by comparison.
Don't forget that, until the invention of refrigeration, people used to harvest ice in northern climates. They would store it in hay, and then sell it throughout the year.

Ice was even shipped internationally.

A bit of a tangent, but I recently read in an evolutionary psychology book (Moral Animal, maybe?) that there is a natural tendency for adolescents to seek distance from their primary care givers. I wonder if Erik ever felt that during his teenage years and if he did, what brought them back together.

The probability of the type of parent/child dynamic experienced by Martin and Erik seems so low from my personal experience which is a shame given it must be one of life's best experiences.

Edit: There's another vector of family dysfunction when a parent and a child have a good relationship -- sibling rivalry. I have witnessed children shun affection and interest from a parent as a preventative measure against the inevitable blowback from their siblings. Not sure if Erik had siblings, but if he did, I wonder what that experience was like.

Announcing Rome Formatter
I finally made it to a point that I have no debt and racked up a considerable savings over the pandemic.

I quit my job a couple months ago (have a side consulting gig that pays 80% of my expenses for minimal hours) and I have been loving it. I’m so busy! In the past week I have been working on perfecting a French omelette, started sprouting some heirloom seeds for a patio garden, hosted a dinner party, going on hikes/back in the gym. Previous two weeks I went to a few different cities to see old friends (one I grew up with and we had not even spoken for almost 8 years).

I do fine financially, but will never be rich by my own hard work. Maybe I’ll get lucky, but I can’t control that. I don’t know if it is age or the pandemic, but I am very committed to living better now. I am doubling down on healthy measures, working out and being outside more, eating better, and getting away from drinking (took 3 months sober last year and about to go into another 1-2 months sober before summer).

I am making an effort to connect and see old friends and especially family. Lots of phone calls and trips when it works out. I was just on the phone with a sibling for 3.5 hours last night, which was wonderful.

I am splurging on gifts and experiences for family/friends to spread some joy around. I have thrown out a huge chunk of my wardrobe and have been updating that, I’m sick of wearing jeans and a T-shirt and want to feel/look great everyday (I’ve spent about 20k in the last 6 months on awesome clothes/shoes).

The one thing for me right now is people. I’ve missed them. I want to feel great about myself and I want to be with people. Talk to them, enjoy them, help them. “Work” outside of being around people I love will only be for money right now. Don’t want to innovate or care or solve problems for anyone else’s bottom line.

I’m still young enough that I can see this approach to life changing in 2-5 years, but right now I just want to be with and appreciate the many people in my life I have or had great relationships with.

Yes, because the NSA definitely does not have an entire library of top secret zero days for 90% of the software packages included in your Open Source OS. And your hardware definitely doesn't have any backdoors.

Maintaining privacy against a state level actor is essentially a nerd fan fiction daydream. If the US government is after you, you're fucked no matter what.
While I appreciate Repl.it's move to a mobile-friendly editor and the eagerness to push new (yet hurried, apparently from the document) features to provide a better development environment, I question their decision to use CodeMirror 6, a version of the CodeMirror "project (that) is in the beta phase—there's a stable interface, but small breaking changes might still happen".
> Many companies were openly hostile and insulting; right out of the starting gate, and I found that I inevitably ran into at least one person, in subsequent interviews, that started the bullying.

I'm not particularly old (30s) and I am noticing that maybe not the people, but the workplaces are becoming hostile and condescending. Perhaps software divas have earned us the kickback, but it's been enlightening in that it's clear I need to make sure my life and my contentment outside of work is what I'm building up, as that will come with me no matter what I'm doing.

Things that won't be affected if I quit tomorrow include:
My fitness achievements, skills on the bike, progress into learning game development, progress into teaching myself a new spoken language, personal relationships, cooking skills...

You get the picture. If you lay it all on the line for work, then you have everything to lose at every job.
I'm not entirely convinced of that attitude; plenty of science fiction in a cyberpunk setting have strong underlying messages, of e.g. personal identity, capitalism, privacy, overpopulation, sex work, drugs, classism, AI, environment / global warming, etc; some of the big names there would be (imo, I'm no expert and I can't think of much) Ghost in the Shell, Altered Carbon, The Matrix, some episodes of Love Death & Robots and even Black Mirror, to name a few.
Most people have a choice to die instead of working, but most people would also not consider that a choice.
In the mid 1990s I was at a military research lab doing VR research. SGIs all around, working quite well. The indy on my desk worked well as a workstation, and the larger machines (High/Max impacts, Indigo2s I think) blew me away with their hardware-accelerated GL (IrisGL, still, I think) apps. They worked very well for what we bought them for, and I was sad to see the company get eaten away by competition that had much, much, much cheaper solutions to the same problems, but none of the pizazz or desktop UI. Intergraph on NT, mostly.
Ah, ok, classical "this is different" excuse.
If Olaf is more productive, engaged, and motivated because his job is not as soul-crushing, then there are second-order gains to add to the monetary cost-benefit analysis. (Though I totally agree that making your colleagues’ lives better is a worthy endeavour in itself).

Wonderful work! If you think your table is the best, as someone who is pondering buying it, you'd save me some time if you had a quick comparison matrix with your main competitors. It seems counterintuitive to provide that but most people will do the research anyway so you're just saving them some time searching and cataloguing alternatives.
In the interview/documentary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Maps_for_These_Territorie... Gibson is quite self-deprecating. He attributes several aspects of the book that people love to his inexperience as a writer. The main character is cold and vague because he didn’t know how to write a fleshed out character. People jack-in a lot because he was uncomfortable writing scene transitions. Something like “What do you say?? He got up and walked down the hallway to the apartment elevator and out the front door to the sidewalk’?”

I've only read the landing page, but I'm instantly very interested in this. I've recently been looking for a product or solution just like this as part of my emergency preparedness goals.

Some questions:

1) I know that homesheet.co is currently free, but what are you considering for pricing options?

2) What are my data export options? No offense, but products on HN are a dime-a-dozen and this is the kind of data that I don't want to lose if you get too busy to work on the product.

I'd love to see encryption included as a feature. I know you say that you don't sell the data and that it's "mine", but I want to make it impossible for you, since privacy policy can change at any time.
Agree, but sometimes a radical temporary change can be a catalyst.
It takes a phenomenal amount of exercise to be equal to reducing food intake. Reducing cardio to a weight loss method means that people who are unfit but not overweight or strong but relatively sedentary think that they don't need to do it for their health. Then they die of heart disease.
> Why the hell would Gazprom willingly lower the spot prices when bulk of its sales will suffer from it?

Because that is what they have done for the last decades - the pipelines have more than enough capacity, even without NS2. They only stopped selling on the short-term market last year.

The only explanation why Gazprom was leaving that obscene mountain of money on the table is because they have been ordered to do so by Vladolf himself, so that he has leverage against Germany in the Ukraine invasion.
Verida Whitepaper: Web3 Solution to Owning Your Data and Identity
Your example is oversimplifying the problem, I don't think you're proving anything here. I've used tools that calculate cyclomatic complexity, and sometimes they're a good indicator, and sometimes they aren't at all. You can measure the complexity of an algorithm, sure, but unless it comes with a real life benchmark, it's only part of the answer. Same with the length of the code, you can measure the length but it doesn't tell you much about how hard to follow is the code.

If you take any style guide, book about good practice, or stuff like that, you'll find that there are some good ideas, and there are some bad ideas. Even with something as simple as code formatting, we still don't know as an industry if it's better to format everything the same, or use formatting to convey information. The debates about OO, FP, static/dynamic typing are endless and there's no evidence about which is better. There is a rough idea that you need more organization when more people work on code (static types, microservices, more documentation, more isolated parts), but even that isn't really clear.

My assumption is not that "nothing can be objectively compared and therefore nothing can be ranked". It's not even an assumption, it's what I've seen in this industry: we lack data to give objective good practice that go beyond anything trivial ("try to make code easy to read and simple", "give meaningful names to your variables"). There is a wide gap between "common sense" and "cargo cults", which is the gap between easy and complex topics. I would really like if in the last 50 years we had learn a lot about how to build software as an industry, as people. The reality is that we haven't.
the storage and the pipes are the most valuable thing, since gas is just a commodity.

Add another supplier, load it up, use pre-existing storage and distribution, Gazprom replaced.

This is also why this is so dangerous from a legal perspective. Gazprom probably spent a great deal building this network and storage. Only to have it seized....
pnpm has been my goto JS monorepo package manager + script runner for a couple of years now. IMO it has almost zero downsides and huge upsides. I'd be surprised if npm doesn't end up adopting the pnpm node_modules directory hierarchy in the next 5 years or so.
The most pressing challenge with climate change is not average temperature, but extremes: extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme rain/floods, extreme drought, extreme storms.

What happened in Canada last year (and partly to those of us who live in PNW: it hit 108F at our house last year in the woods next to the Puget Sound) wasn't about average temperatures, it was about more energy in a quasi-stable chaotic system causing more frequent extremes on both/all sides.

The old saying goes: a human dies after three minutes without O2, three days without water, three weeks without food. More to this point, a human dies after being exposed to 95F wet bulb temperatures for three hours.

What's this have to do with living near the poles as the average warms up? There might be some use there, but wild weather is a truly global thing, and the poles are, on average, accumulating even more energy than the equator.
"I'd imagine looking back, a lot of Neuromancer and pre-ubiquitous web Cyberpunk reads weirdly because it was written in an information-scarce world."

There's just as much scarcity of valuable information today... it's just that now it's buried under a mountain of garbage which is more accessible than ever before.
Yep. Definitely a great power, great responsibility tool.

It's the one thing that keeps Ruby closer to true Aspect Oriented Programming than any other language (in my experience at least). It's probably the biggest thing that I miss from Ruby when working in other languages, even ones that I love like Elixir.
> How does that work, do they have someone running a proxy for them in those 2 locations?

Sure, there are thousands of proxies in Russia and Ukraine. Lots of them are free. Besides, any decent paid VPN with multiple exit nodes would likely have nodes in both Russia and Ukraine.

You could even order a VPS hosting, if that's your thing.
What is Invurt?
I think it's something that each person should introspect a bit on. I've been pushing back against getting a dog, because I know I would hate to have to walk it first thing every morning; I don't want to build up resentment towards an animal.

But for other people, it works, it's great, and they form a life-long bond.
The French account is registered to a UK address.

I was thinking more about whether the two accounts would be linked as closely in future. Right now, if I login to one account I can see the account balance of the other as well, transfers are just done in the same way as between two accounts in the same country.
My first reaction was to see if the project is made with Commnon Lisp's ASDF, and cool now it has plugins for different languages. Common Lisp ASDF is very well thought out, but not the easiest package management system.

Seems like with LCEVC you still need to decode your encoded frame and compute a difference between the original input to the encoder, at say 30 fps. Many embedded system-on-chips that do H.264/H.265 encoding (eg IP cameras) are not able to decode to memory, only straight to an HDMI/DSI output. Using the CPU to decode and compute a difference is too compute heavy to be possible in real-time on these ARM single or quad core processors.
It's not quite as odd as the neighborhood overlay shown here, but the third runway at Seatac Airport was built on the edge of a ravine, and the approach lights are therefore strung along a truss, which crosses over a nearby highway - you drive underneath the lighting structure when approaching to the airport from the north.

Indys weren't truly that slow. The problem was the base models were memory constrained to the point where IRIX could barely boot. 16MB was not enough, and IRIX 5.x had memory leaks that made it even worse. An Indy with 96MB+ will run IRIX 6.5 pretty well.
The thing you're railing up against (and others on the flip side of the coin) is simplicity of advice vs ease of actualizing

"Just eat 80% of TDEE" is easy advice for someone who only has attention span for "quick tips" or wants it to sound easy.

"spend 6 weeks attempting to eat at maintenance until the scale stops moving, and use this formula to calculate what delta from TDEE is, before then making any changes to diet. Then once you're ready to start making changes to your diet remember two things increase the volume and make it permanently sustainable. Some examples are almond milk replaces full fat milk, or whole unprocessed fruit replaces sugary things, replace excess grains with leafy greens, choose lower fat meats like chicken/turkey breast, white fish or shrimp, over fatty meats like pork ribs or 85% fat ground beef. At most lose 1% of body weight per week, keep tracking everything you eat so you know the calories you ate and keep using the delta formula to recalculate the calories you should eat this week cause the TDEE is going to literally change every day but we'll settle for recalculating each week. "

see how complex that gets? People's eyes glaze over. There's a balance between good advice being short, and good advice being nuanced enough.

During the war with IS there were constantly talk about how funding terrorism goes directly into funding the wars, be that people who directly gave them money or people who bought their drugs. I also often see the police say things like "don't buy things from criminals, it directly fund more criminal activities". We have international agreements against blood diamonds and conflict resource, all focusing on eliminating the finance of those conducing wars. It seems that in every possible way where people are funding war and conflict, the message has been in the past 20-50 years that this is actually a problem that need to addressed. While cutting the funding doesn't imminently stop conflicts, or prevent terrorists from making home made bombs, giving them money does prolong conflicts and gives the warring faction more options to continue doing horrible acts of violence. Cutting the money flow also provide pressure on the targeted population to stop their leaders and forcing them to the peace table.
> That being said, just to clarify: the discussions I was referencing in the GP comment suggest that Gazprom has not been acting as a good-faith rational actor, and has in fact been keeping their storage infrastructure even less full than you would expect due to high gas prices.

Yes, I merely explained how they were able to deflect the accusations of acting in bad faith for so long.

Gazprom was leaving literal billions of dollars on the table by not offering any meaningful spot contracts for months now, until the invasion began - a fact that no one could explain with anything else but war preparations, and war was seen as a ridiculous idea almost everywhere, so public discussion was simply left at "we have no idea what they are doing in Moscow".
HN is owned by Y Combinator. It's at least as much a tech finance/industry board as a pure tech board.
