>this is why archives should be independently duplicated

It's an interesting challenge with IA because they have > 100 petabytes of content, many thousands of $ in hard drives alone. Too much for random individuals to decide they want to host their own clone & become a mirror. So, we're be looking at large institutions or companies to do this philanthropically. Or, here's the tech challenge, some distributed mechanism where participants all host a portion, with enough redundancy that a large % could go offline and still keep integrity.

This sounds completely insane, but totally on brand for Elon who needs to keep up his internet persona.

If I'm in a meeting with some higher-ups above my boss and I have some suggestion to a process I think may help the company out and relay my thoughts, my boss should be fired because I can think for myself? Completely idiotic.

(Note this is assuming it doesn't involve anything controversial, office politics etc, just a suggestion based on my observations that I think could help the company overall).
Jellyfin is awesome. The DLNA support enables streaming to my local TVs without having to install apps on the TVs themselves, though I haven't heavily tested it with video yet (works great with music). Also the visibility of libraries can be managed per account, so not everyone you give a login to has to see all your content.
President Trump was right about the gas terminal, North Stream 2 and ≥2% GDP for NATO militaries. Of course it was coming from his advisors. But no, the EU leadership decided to live in fantasy land. Only Eastern European states, Poland and the Baltics understood.
> The law prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten to grade 3 in Florida public school districts, or instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in a manner that is not "age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students". It also allows parents and teachers to sue any school district if they believe this policy is violated. The bill additionally prevents school districts from withholding information about a child’s "mental, emotional, or physical well-being" from their parents.

> Due to the "Don't Say Gay" nickname some commentators and social media users thought the bill banned mentioning the word "gay" in school classrooms, though the bill does not actually mention the word "gay" or explicitly prohibit its use.

>I don't know where this persistent myth comes from that people love choice and tinkering, because they clearly don't.

People want to accomplish stuff, this means they need tools to do stuff and if a tool can be customized to do the stuff faster or better people want the customization. At my job we have paying users that requests features that indeed are work related(not moving shit around). I know GNOME-minded people will disagree and they prefer to bend their work to fit a guru-s vision.,

Now my turn to ask, why do people like you think there is a generic and basic solution that works at the same time for the casual user and for the user that has a lot of tasks to accomplish? Is there some theorem that shows this, like "The GNOME theoreme of product design, keep removing features until the shit convergence to the local minimum where you find the minimum product and the minimum set of users possible.
I've used both of the suggested methods under "Current standards for scaling out databases" so I see where this is coming from. But I peeked at the AWS reference architecture, and it places a Consul and ReadySet deployment in my environment for me to run and maintain. I feel like any sales pitch for this really needs to convince me that having these things in my environments is going to be worth the hassle in terms of milliseconds and dollars, as opposed to just using RDS read replicas and paying a bit more. Then again, I can see this being an obvious choice if you're growing very quickly or have tight latency requirements.

With that said, it looks like cool tech and I read Jon's Rust for Rustaceans which serves as a stamp of quality for this even if I haven't tried it yet!
Python 2.7 being removed has probably made corporate upgrades very slow.
That's what makes all of this so ironic to me. Social media platforms and their users (especially Facebook) are not left-leaning. That a vast majority of Twitter users feel he will improve it means that the bias is fictional.
German were incredibly anti-nuclear long before. Blaming this on Russia is nonsense.
Gibson has always said he regards his futures as ultimately optimistic, because we're still here, not having been destroyed in a nuclear war that looked all too possible in the time it was written.
Same. Several years ago I was a happy Plex user, but our Internet got knocked offline and we wanted to watch some local content, no dice. I canceled my Plex Pass sub as soon as I had Internet again. I use Emby now which offers pretty much the same experience without the need for a permanent Internet connection. Their subscription offers a few bonus features but it's not required for LAN streaming.
I honestly never heard anyone on HN recommending Guix over Nix.
Don't forget about when he demanded a law firm fire a junior lawyer he didn't like even when that lawyer had nothing to do with SpaceX.
And that cultural reference is not just some words.
If you really followed thousands of banned accounts perhaps you need to take a close look at the company you keep. That should send alarm bells ringing regardless of your perception of Twitter's biases.
> Give me links to websites.

There are no more websites worth linking to anymore... If you filter out all SEO spam there is barely few webpages left...

Google is desperately trying to hide that fact. Most of the web 1.0 can nowadays fit into small town telephone directory... You do not need mulitibilion dolar business to run web directory...
I find ddg is an improvement on google because it’s more like google 10 years ago plus a quick !g tosses it back to google for the occasional topic google does better.
Why couldn't they litigate it? As far as I know it wasn't a court decision but a settlement, which means no legal precedent has been set and it wasn't determined whether their original behavior was actually illegal.
> I haven't read Gibson's work specifically (though I'd like to), but I always got the sense that humanization and dehumanization were the primary themes of cyberpunk and the dystopian world created by corporations was one of the dehumanizing factors. That may not be fair, though.

A quote from one of the RPGnet moderators, something to the effect of...

"Transhumanism is about how technology will fundamentally reshape how we live, and how we perceive what it means to be human. Cyberpunk is how it won't."
That is exactly the ivory tower attitude that torpedoed all of the RISC workstation companies. Nobody, literally not one single customer cares how easy or hard it was to design and implement the CPU. They only care how much it costs and how fast it goes.
2012 algorithm with today's advanced seo and spam won't give you good results.

Your obesity is influenced only by your food intake. Your calorie delta. I don't know how else to put it. The math is clear.
Thanks kyeb. I agree with both points here - we need to be very careful and sensitive in terms of how we build this product from a privacy and security perspective, but we see the opportunity mostly the same way you do.

There are some great open source terminals out there, but having the opportunity to rethink it with a team of dedicated full-time engineers I think gives us an opportunity to build something really powerful and useful.
You can target it, ie. if you invoke javac more than once a day, it could recommend local depression clinic services.
Except it doesn't support all services in the "global" search, and you get spammed with all sorts of ads. I like my Chromecast with Android/Google TV, but the software experience could be a lot better.
Thanks for posting this. I might want to give it a try with my very old 'smart' nutrition and cooking website [1] that I wrote in Clojure about 10 years ago and have not touched it in years. I wanted to update it a few years ago but the Clojure web libraries/frameworks I used are no longer supported.

I jumped into game development earlier this year because I too feel that there are plenty of business use cases for a game engine to power business intelligence applications; especially in VR/AR. It was not only my first time doing 3D, but also my first time using a real IDE. Results have varied.

The first thing I'll tell you is that the tooling for building enterprise apps is woefully inadequate out of the box. The things that come easiest to you, specifically CRUD app building, are much more difficult in a game engine. There are no native UI elements, no theming in the way we've come to expect, and the workflows are all completely different. I was used to building database connected backends, and switching to a state machine model really threw me for a loop. If you have experience building native apps, you're probably going to have a much better time than I did.

As far as learning the interface, that's not so bad. Follow some of the tutorials and you'll be able to get up and running in no time. The rabbit hole for me was understanding WHY things were doing what they were doing, as opposed to figuring out how to do it. Except in those times which I COULDN'T do something natively that I was expecting to be able to do...which happens a lot.

My recommendation is to set up the game engine of your choice, learn how to build to multiple targets, and then craft something you've already done elsewhere to see how you like it. Once you get that going, you should have a cursory understanding that will allow you to flex some creative muscle.

Good luck!
You interpreted me wrong.

What I'm saying is

1) that I care about the merit of the company (the products) much more than I care about what their talking heads say

2) that I don't think Elon's that bad as some say/ IMHO he's a semi-autistic person (don't know what his exact diagnosis is) who fucking loves technology and sometimes gets over-excited. I cut him some slack because he delivers - even if late and something's missing, well so what - it's still revolutionary and that's more than enough for me, everything on top of that is a bonus
I actually do agree with this. The idea that only a certain set of individuals at a company could ever fathom a problem X with product Y and anyone else who shares a potential solution should be ignored is pretty short-sighted and ignorant.

I don't know if someone should be fired over that, but then again, a firing is a pretty potent warning to others not to commit the same offense.
I think the flags with artwork were brilliant. People coming together and deciding plus coordinating what should be the cultural piece they wanted to be immortalised in the limited space. I didn't participate in placing the pixels but spent some good time just browsing the flags and deciphering the references placed on them.
What does it offer that vterm doesn't?
I mean in some ways twitter did die ages ago in that its user base has stagnated over the years and its relevance has dropped outside of a certain powerful minority of users.
Adrian tsicoholsky's Children of Time duo are the only Sci-fi books I've read that can stand with Stephenson. Give it a try! (Assuming you're not an arachnophobe)
What topic would you like to see discussed more that you cannot because of woke twitter community guidelines?
As long as it's honestly communicated beforehand, and employees are not deceived about compensation and workload as they voluntary sign the contract, is it bad or immoral in any meaningful way?
Where did this idea come from that all viable products have to appeal to the widest possible audience?
Can you link to some of these examples?
I use alacritty every day, it’s the best terminal emulator I’ve come across.

That said, it’s not perfect. For example it lacks font ligature support, and there appears to be no prospect of that being implemented. I don’t care about ligatures that much anyway, so no big deal for me, but for others it is.

My experience using terminal emulators is that they are all flawed in at least one way. Whether it’s lack of true colour support; lack of ligature support; weird text rendering; weird colours; confusing configuration; etc. I feel like a terminal supporting all of those things must be possible, but I haven’t come across it yet.
> they absolutely do need to disclose this stuff to the students

In this case the student is not the owner of the Chromebook. They need to disclose this stuff to, and obtain consent from, the parents before taking control of the device.

I'm not too worried, at least where I live. Light pollution has become a talking point in the EU.
Did you try adding your VPN subnet to the trusted / local networks setting? I use OpenVPN in opnsense to access my local plex, though I can also use app.plex.tv which usually automatically uses direct connect using my forwarded wan ip which is fine for me.
The company that did it is a real company that puts on real drone shows. Presumably they are familiar with the laws relating to their industry.
While generally true, this isn't necessarily true if the customization is well-layered and the user is at a dead end in their search journey.

Too many products equate frictionless == featureless these days and there should be more power when the user needs it.

That's why we built a search extension that improves upon Google specifically in ways that it's weak https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30725933 http://abhinavsharma.com/blog/google-alternatives
I'd say to keep adding to your DNG collection as is, because if you switch and you need to convert, 1-2% extra images won't hurt. RawTherapee is also a RAW image processing software that can help, instead of Darkroom, or maybe just to convert your DNGs to whatever other raw format Darkroom likes.
it's a good question. today warp is a terminal as you say. the hope is that we can build a platform around the command-line, but we decided by trying to start with the terminal's fundamental UX to see if we could improve it. in order to make a platform we believe first we need a great product that folks want to use.
You're right on in your first sentence. Aesthetics trump message when art reaches wide popularity.

... I swear that I used the word "trump" above unintentionally, but my example for this is Trump rallies using music from bands like Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young and R.E.M. The music contains messages that explicitly speak against the type of political power being wielded, and! the artists themselves speak up about how much they despise the people using their music. The fact that the message is being misused couldn't be clearer. But the people using it are there for the aesthetic: the general sound and feeling of being rebels, ahead of the curve, etc.

And honestly I think that's a good thing. Creative reuse results in good and bad; jazz and Christian rock. Creators can't control their art once it's in the public, and the world would be a smaller place if they could.

Sorry I didn't reply to the part about Charles Stross, it looks like an interesting commentary but I'm not familiar enough with Stross in particular.
Solar panels harness the power of the sun too. Fun fact: The sun's energy density is only a few watts per ton. A thousand-pound chunk of the sun could barely run a flashlight. Practical fusion requires H/He conversion rates exponentially faster than stars.

Yes, i meant to say power density rather than energy. My bad.
3.4 out of five stars is not bad. Low score due to lack of advancement. 3.0 for work life balance is pretty good:

direnv is a killer tool in my arsenal. Writing 12 factor apps without it (especially managing configuration) is an exercise in pain and frustration.
> So, I don't think that you suggesting that business success outweighing how you treat people is "insane"

I never said business success outweighs how you treat people. I said, in the specific case of Elon Musk, what he has built outweighs his obnoxious attitude. That's a specific, not a generality.

Anyway, we've arrived at a conclusion. To you, values are relative. That's an answer but it's not acceptable to me.
Why would you want to context shift to a UI anyways? I would argue slack is a better place to get notifications.
Not a $120M valuation -- they raised $120M (https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/26/fast-raises-102m-as-the-on...) at an undisclosed valuation that must've been at least 500M. And spent it all in a year.
I don't see the big deal with that^ email. I mean, the only alternative not listed there is "ignore me and do nothing". It should be obvious that that's not acceptable. The email is concise and well-written...I suppose if there's anything remarkable about it, it's that.
In an (absurd-ish) defense of macOS, I don't believe anyone really uses the built-in Terminal and grabs an alternative (often iTerm2).

There's also the rumor that Terminal in macOS has had a handful of developers working on it, at best, over the years. I would bet money that Apple doesn't care enough about it to bother with telemetry and/or privacy policies for it.
Interesting to see that it has higher throughput per $. That is the most important fact.
You are better off with PlayCanvas and BabylonJS.

WebGL 2.0 is stuck in 2011 hardware, something like Unreal is overkill.

No wonder they decided to use pixel streaming with server side rendering instead.
Approximately 0% of consumers install browser extensions, it's a non-starter and also a totally different proposition. Every merchant wants more money but no one wants to mess up their payment flow, no one reasonable wants to add yet another option, yet another decision when it comes to the most critical part of their sales process - the thing that actually gets them paid. Fast's only shot was with merchants who already did a lot of sales via Stripe and they'd have to make integration utterly frictionless.
... isn't this just OOP inheritance/subtyping/interface implementation with if/then checks for the more specific types?
I picked up some 35 mm feature film at an auction, thinking I'd be able to find a cheap projector at some point and it could be a fun weird hobby... But then I realized the cheap projectors are not 35 mm. Also, I only got half the film (reels 2, 4 and 6)... so if anyone wants half of Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part I, my email is in my profile.
> My opinion of the BBC was formed long before RT even existed. One is a government funded state propagandist. The other is RT.

I'm surprised that, having held such a strong opinion about the BBC for such a long time, you are still able to immediately make a factually incorrect statement regarding such common knowledge as where its funding comes from.
The literal only thing that keeps me from moving to Jellyfin is that I cannot seem to get it to work with a Chromecast.

If that worked (and I'm not sure if its a cert problem or something else) I'd be happily away from Emby/Plex and every other option I've used in the past.
It is eugenics. Obesity is degeneracy in the most dictionary non-emotional sense of the word. It has no benefits and should be rooted. In the jungle, people with stomachs too big would never have lived to reproduce or take care of offspring anyway - either by dying of hunger or being killed for their dead weight appetite.
they are not saying that Google Drive is a social media tool. they are saying that if you have children who are of a certain age (the age being old enough to use social media), then they are likely to use emojis in other avenues
100% agree. Want a search engine that is better in every way than Google? Give me Google from 2010 or so:

1. Much clearer delineations between ads and organic search results.

2. For anything remotely commercial it wasn't the case that literally the first 4 or 5 results were ads, pushing organic results below the fold.

3. No AMP carousel

4. There wasn't a vomitous amount of those "tidbit" sections - there were only a couple and they were usually helpful.
In 10 years, I think we'll all be using 3D engines like this to develop everything the same way 3D cards were once for gaming/animation only. The tooling has demanded so much and Unreal has pretty much nailed it. If they can make their engine more generalized, it's going to become a killer app.
Average users may not pay, but specialized users may pay and pay more than enough to subsidize some sort of free tier.

Not to mention, if free search engines keep devolving into an endless sea of spam, people may have no choice but to start paying. There's plenty of things out there people pay for not necessarily by choice but because there's nothing else out there that would accomplish the task at hand.
I manage a Plex instance for my whole family (old). Plex keeps adding "online" features like this and each and every time I get evening messages confused with the changes. I'll be getting a couple tonight it looks :)
you need to realise is that if you don't do this "by tomorrow", the momentum will be lost and no HN'er will ever use your product, because they will forever associate it with tracking
> What I would like to see is a "array scheme."

There was some academic project which did something similar.
Plex also has DLNA support [1].

Kitty has the features you're looking for, such as font ligature support. If you're on Windows, I just use the Microsoft Terminal.
Why would it be easier to port Warp to a new system compared to Bash, Python, Perl, etc.? These tools are widely used to automate workflows and are already ported to any system you would probably care to develop on.
In the mid-nineties I worked for Parallax Graphics in London, doing support for their SGI based paint and compositing software. One application, Matador, was heavily used in the video and film industry - also for TV and things like weather forecast graphics. Feels like ancient history. I loved working on my SGI and learning a bit of Irix.
I predict a "Streaming Day of Reckoning" happening one day, where a critical mass of users suddenly loses access to a critical mass of content, because they became utterly dependent on streaming instead of physical media or local media storage. We occasionally read news of a handful of users losing access to a handful of content, and just shrug saying "Oh, well, streaming isn't perfect and this is growing pains." Maybe a user loses access to all their purchased Amazon movies because they got banned from the platform. "So sad," we say, as we continue to depend on streaming more and more. A niche streaming platform goes out of business and its small user base loses access to content. "Oh, well, there's still Netflix and Hulu," we say, as we keep switching to these platforms.

One day, a big one is going to go dark, and millions of people will suddenly lose access to the hundreds of movies they got used to accessing, and maybe we'll start waking up and looking for better alternative business models than streaming the same bytes over and over from centralized services.
Unsurprising with elevated housing costs in VHCOL cities. The requirement to work in an office requires one to live near the office, or commute to it.
