It's cool seeing Warp folks so active on here!

Some more thoughts: I've tried it a bunch, and my big issue with Warp is it just throws away a bunch of the more obscure/advanced shell features and pretends like they were never there. The sheer inelegance of it just pains me. Like if Warp wants to destroy my custom zsh keybindings, ok, but at least tell zsh that so they don't appear when I run `bindkey` to list them. Or at least pass along the key events to the shell when a shortcut is pressed that Warp doesn't already know about. Right now it just eats my custom bindings and does nothing with them.

Also my fzf history searching is also thrown away along with my keybindings to kill a line AND put it in the system pasteboard. (That's an awesome feature that Warp should just do) The other big one for me is completions. It's hard for me to imagine an expert terminal user that's never written their own completions, or if they have, is happy throwing them away.

I really like the idea of someone re-imagining the shell+terminal, but Warp is occupying this awkward middle ground between a terminal emulator and a shell. I wish it would either be a new shell with an integrated GUI interface, or be a terminal emulator that actually lets the shell do everything it knows how to do.

Setting up sample data is the biggest pain for mocking in my experience. But it's true however you're testing.
Because Ubuntu is trying as hard as it can to turn into Windows-but-with-the-Linux-kernel.
The post provides a laundry list of things that a container orchestrator does for you, and asserts that if you don't use Kubernetes or Nomad you have to implement all those things yourself.

> If you have a set of servers, but no scheduler like Nomad or Kubernetes, you would be forced to do the following on your own:

> Find the optimal server to place the execution of software on, for each deployment, given existing resource utilization of other processes & hardware.

> ...

If you have autoscaling groups there isn't any scheduler that I have to worry about (Amazon of course has one). Certainly I don't have to reinvent ten wheels just because I choose not to use a container orchestrator.
More likely is misattribution.
Sorry I think it was evil. As soon as I found one thing that didn’t work I was done
> Clicking the maximize button (the green circle) for any application won't maximize the app consistently.

Option-click on the maximize button consistently maximizes.

> If you have an app/file selected in Finder (MacOS' Explorer), pressing Enter will rename the file. To open the file you must instead press Cmd + Down.

Or Cmd-O. But Enter is the standard rename shortcut on macOS. It might not be your preference but that doesn't mean it's wrong. (I find it intuitive - I have no idea what the rename shortcut is on Windows because it's not so easily discoverable.)
Disagree. CGI is getting "easier" in the sense that even low budget films can do things that used to only be reserved for large budgets. And there's so much CGI in use that you don't notice these days because it's so seamless / not the center of attention (e.g. check out this before/after about Wolf of Wall Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP2sJqoZD7g).

But at the end of the day, you still need good direction and editing that involves understanding the limitations of doing things on the computer vs. in camera. I think this video about Dune provides great examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIKupTibxKQ. One example provided is that using green screen can sometimes result in "flat" unrealistic lighting because the camera doesn't expose the image the same if representative lighting isn't used to actually capture the shot.
__What is this?__

Former President Obama speaking on regulatory approaches to social media companies. Lasts for an hour from the 2 hour mark (should already start there).

__Why did I post this here?__

I wanted to spur educated discussion (typically absent on YouTube). There's strong overlap between HN users and those who have worked at (or interacted with workers of) the very tech companies Obama criticizes. I'm interested in hearing their commentary, especially with regard to section 230.

__What are my thoughts?__

Copied verbatim from my comment:

Obama's regulatory views on social media are already outmoded. In response to deplatforming on conventional social media sites, "alt-tech" companies have arisen. Catering to those who were censured, these companies are thriving. Certainly these alt-tech companies won't abide by some code of conduct? Ditto for international companies like TikTok.

I'm also concerned by the comment that social media algorithms are needed to better develop a regulatory approach. Given that the government undoubtedly has the ability to scrape social media data, why is it that government employees cannot interpret this data? Why must they rely on disclosures by private companies? The core question that needs to be answered here is "how can government entice more highly-skilled programmers to work for them, not social media conglomerates?"
For what is worth, I'd much rather just create an account than install an extension (especially since sometimes one of my many extensions ends up slowing the whole browser and I have to hunt which one is it). It's not like I don't have thousands of accounts to random sites anyway and it typically takes less time than confirming if an extension is good.
Didn't realize until reading the child comment that there were middlemen. I live in a rural area in the US: the people selling at farmer's markets around here are almost always the people who grew the food.

A lot of farms have stands set up on the road unattended, with a price list: you buy eggs, veggies, etc. on the honor system.
To be fair, who’s watching Death on the Nile for the special effects? The only thing the film wants you to remember about the pyramid shot is that the kite guy’s coat is red. It was fine.
As a shopper, one click buttons make me so nervous whenever I see them on the page. It definitely distracts me from my shopping experience, with a region of the screen screaming "don't touch me!!!".

I don’t think it’s radical to suggest that modern technology, society, diet, and culture are making people sick, both mentally and physically.

We know that people in history have had conditions like Autism. However even in the present day there are stark differences in prevalence in different regions of the world with modern healthcare systems (Japan, for example).
A common fallacy when you don't have a good argument is to handwave things away as "you just don't understand". I've already made my arguments very clearly - there maybe a xenophobia issue in Vancouver, but average people didn't wake up and decide to be xenophobic for fun. They woke up and found that they had been outcompeted by wealthy foreign buyers and domestic buyers with money from sectors like finance or technology. Thirty years ago average people could buy a house on a regular wage and now they can't.

That competition is driving the anxiety, and the anxiety is driving the reaction. Wealthy foreign buyers are the easiest target. Wealthy Asian businesspeople have been stashing their money in Canada for a long time, so it's not surprising they've been targeted for as long as you claim. It may be xenophobic, but inherent xenophobia isn't what is driving the behavior, it's a reaction to the class and land use issues, and it gets more intense as the divide grows more obvious.
>Like it or not transit will probably always lower property values in the US too. For whatever reason the more violent people here tend to take it and anywhere it goes becomes more violent so building it into suburbs like these is always going to be unpopular.

This smells of the coded racism that is so rampant in the USA. It's sad because there might be some element of truth at its root, but it gets exaggerated and the attitude creates more and more segregation, exacerbates the divisions and creates a hostile society.

Define larger ship? There's a version in service for frigate sized ships (5kton). There was even a version designed for corvette sized ships.

The problem isn't the size. It's the cost. It's expensive enough that making the ship a bit bigger gets you a bunch more capability for not much more cost.

The direct comparison for ground mobile would probably be the TPY-2 radar.
I grew up drinking mostly milk from our cow, which was usually a Guernsey or a Jersey -- fed on a combination of pasture and commercial grains. Pasteurized in the early years, but raw later on. Never really liked drinking milk. But man, my cousins loved visiting because they could have all the cold milk they wanted. Milk doesn't disgust me the way tomatoes do, or act as a near emetic the way olives do, but I just don't particularly like drinking milk of any variety, well, except for chocolate milk. But I love most of the products derived from it -- cheese, ice cream, butter, etc. With a family cow you really get used to how the cow's diet affects milk flavor -- the lush green grass in the spring was quite noticeable. And of course, I like milk with cold cereal but not with hot cereals. And our beef came from a calf raised to a yearling each year. Eggs came from the chickens, although they were the first to disappear in response to the convenience of the supermarket.

I was born in the early 50s and my folks were Californians from small-town Minnesota, so I'm used to the idea of very sweet dishes being considered okay at all meals. An example, my mom picked up from her Dutch-immigrant mother, a breakfast dish made from thoroughly dried out bread scraps, simmered in milk with cinnamon and liberal amounts of sugar. They called it (I don't know the Dutch spelling) stoot-uh-bray (phonetic) which I suspect meant something like stewed bread. Loved it and the many other fattening 30s concepts of what constituted a proper meal. A slightly less chocolatey version of homemade pudding over graham crackers was considered a perfectly acceptable lunch, Grandma called it cocoa-dope. And though no one pushed my mom to cook all our meals, it was clear she felt it a failure if any of us in our family of six found it necessary to prepare their own meal. Dad was a railroad conductor on 24-hr call. When he got called, she got up and prepared him a meal and/or lunch, regardless of time of day or night. He simply could not break her of this habit. But yeah, my folks and their folks definitely grew up on a diet resembling at least some of what the article referenced, and held similarly strong attitudes about the kitchen being the center of home culture. Sit down meals for the whole family were mandatory until such time as we left home. No TV or radio during meals, just conversation. Not such a bad deal, really -- three mandatory whole-family conversations a day -- two if school was in session. Occasionally I used to quickly walk the 600-yards home (from elementary school) for lunch. Some days I'd trade my homemade-bread sandwich for one of my schoolmates Wonder Bread sandwiches at the outdoor lunch tables of elementary school, both parties usually felt they got the better of the deal. Different times, different attitudes.
I've never used a Thinkpad due to the Linux hostility I regularly read about. I never seem to have problems with HP/E or Dell laptops that I specify nor any old random desktops I grab. I use Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debbie and others. They are all Linux.

I spend way more time doing stuff on Linux than I ever did with Windows. Windows software comes from so many sources and it takes ages to find it and update.

> No sane modern invasion plan would consider air supremacy as only a nice to have.

Welcome to Russia. They don't fly SEED. And they knew that going in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpzUCSdxi7k

> They assumed that a lightning strike would cause near instant capitulation.

Yes, I'm well aware of this narrative. I happen to think their current plan, however we arrived here, is to play for time. The opposite of a blitz.

They are depopulating and starving Ukraine and flattening major cities with long range artillery. You aren't too far off. But it isn't to claim a "win", they aren't cartoon villains.

> At what point do we decide that a possible strategic nuclear escalation is a worse worry than a complete massacre of a sovereign nation?

Unfortunately at no point. That is part of their calculus.

They appear to have gained an edge over the US in both offensive and defensive nuclear capabilities as well as having caught the EU with their pants completely down. This is the likely reason why they wasted a few of their new hypersonic missiles as a demonstration. And why they flew into Swedish air space and flaunted hot nukes which has never happened before even during the Cold War.
They've been notable recently mainly for controversies, especially on Tech twitter, due to discrimination lawsuits and just general toxicity: https://www.businessinsider.com/fast-gender-discrimination-l...

They were also notable on twitter / reddit occasionally for giving away very cheap / subsidized swag like $1 hoodies.
If you're at a SaaS startup that tries to solve a churn or burn problem by moving upmarket, run.

It means your leadership can't think of a way to make the business work other than to get bigger checks from the same size customer base. "If only all our customers could pay us an extra zero!"

Moving upmarket doesn't work that way. They are totally different companies with purchase requirements and habits that will generate tons of work orthogonal to your core product. Spend a few quarters on compliance accreditations so you can tick boxes, multi-month sales conversations where you aren't even sure if you're just there to pressure the real Belle of their ball, etc.

If you can't do it small, you can't do it.
U.S. solar expansion stalled by rural land-use protests
There is a saying in film production: "We'll fix it in post!"

The high number of compositors in the credits of a film shows you how many people were needed to fix 'fake' looking scenes such as this. Compositors easily smooth this out, and add fake environment, hair, clothing, or even limbs to hide the excess green-screen cropping. Also, a well-placed cut to a close-up shot can hide awkward actor movements on poor sets.
7 year old question.

We do it all the time for CICD. Kubernetes Jenkins agents which do Docker build and push and so forth.
"red"?
Maybe it's a band-aid over a chainsaw wound, but the add-on "Tweak New Twitter" turns twitter into precisely what I expected Twitter to be. I see only actual tweets from people I follow (not uncommented retweets). No trending anything. No popups/popovers from twitter itself. It's a little quiet compared to life without it, but that's not such a bad thing.
> Why would it need that much training data? It takes me 3 or 4 videos to pick up the pattern.

You're human being capable of understanding what you're seeing, ML is just computational statistics. You need to throw a ton of data at it to get accurate results.

You might be able to piggyback on pre-trained models via transfer learning in order to reduce the amount of data and resources needed to train a model for this task, though.

I don't think Shazam uses ML for song recognition, but instead hashing and fingerprinting via Fourier transforms.
I suspect that people who haven't had kids will not like to admit that they have any regrets about their decision, just like you will rarely find a parent that will say they wish they hadn't had a child.

Once you're over a certain age you can't really change your mind. Some people decide to focus on their careers, but becoming a parent doesn't mean you won't reach your career goals.
this is really my favorite approach, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
It's always funny to read about crazy overspending on infrastructure and I have a few funny stories myself, but this was far from their biggest problem. For one, we don't know how big those costs were or how much time it would take to wind some of it down.

I absolutely hate waste and was always proud of myself when I found ways to shave a thousand here and there off our AWS bill, but it was a bit depressing when I went through the thought exercise of "What would it be like for the company if I managed to get everything onto the AWS free tier?" And then compared that to what it would be like for the company if we found a way to make 1 or 2% more in revenue.

Early on, the math heavily favors worrying less about infra spend and more about product enhancements that can build revenue.

(Although often reducing the size of your infra for other reasons - usually around complexity for ops or ease of development can also have the side benefit of reducing cost and it seems worthwhile in those cases.)

Electrostatic discharges from chairs can interfere with USB and display signals:

"Surprisingly, we have also seen this issue connected to gas lift office chairs. When people stand or sit on gas lift chairs, they can generate an EMI spike which is picked up on the video cables, causing a loss of sync. If you have users complaining about displays randomly flickering it could actually be connected to people sitting on gas lift chairs. Again swapping video cables, especially for ones with magnetic ferrite ring on the cable, can eliminate this problem."

Representation matters.
Whenever I see something like this, I'm reminded that really smart people have always existed. We're not at some pinnacle of human intelligence (the opposite actually [1]), we're just in a different context.

OP specified reencoding, which probably means converting lossy to lossy. Despite the fact that modern codecs (and even mp3, LAME is transparent at V2~192kbps for most tracks and everything except killer samples at V0~256kbps) are generally very transparent at low bitrates, the same guarantee does not apply when encoding lossy to lossy.

Think about it, if transparency guarantees applied for lossy transcodes, you could encode mp3 -> mp3 thousands for times with no generational loss. This clearly isn't possible.

Of course, you could rip all your files again in a better codec, but the time required to do that is pretty intense.
Thanks for the response but I really don't appreciate the patronizing. I criticize and dismiss myself enough as it is. I'm all for constructive feedback, but this ain't it.

You obviously don't understand a thing about neurodiversity. Not everyone can control their brain to "Stop" doing or thinking all these things.

No, it's not because we can't take harsh criticism, not because we're "making excuses", not because we're staying comfortable in our "victimhood".

We've obviously tried all the things you've suggested (and more). The problem is our brain can't do whatever we want it to do.

And by the way, I absolutely LOVE reading and writing, and guess what? The more I love something, the less I'm able to do it. That's the kind of paradox our brain is constantly fighting.

Bash gives you access to FILES.

Those files can be text or they could be binary data representing objects of ANY kind.

Your definitional separation between functions and binaries is at best incredibly thin. Bash itself is turing complete. Other shells offer other (better) languages as well.

Linux uses D-Bus which has similarities to COM, but nobody has seen the point of replacing normal POSIX with it. Nothing is stopping you though.
On the one hand, I’m invested enough in Twitter now that I don’t think any of these things would bother me with the benefit of hindsight.

I get enough value out of Twitter as a social space that future me would recommend just sucking it up and getting an account. I like that I can still use a fairly low-engagement-driving chronological view (even if they keep trying to kill it, only to backpedal each time). I hate the embedded browser, but as the author notes this is more of a platform-wide problem.

But here’s the thing: I never would have listened to future me about any of this had Twitter not been freely browsable when I started to give it a try. I wasn’t opposed to a closed social network even then—I was fairly active on Facebook at the same time. But they’re used in vastly different ways. I never would have understood the appeal of Twitter at all if I needed to sign up just to see all the weird rando stuff I’ve since come to follow and appreciate.

You don't state what country you're in, but in the US, the pandemic is effectively over. Everyone (that wants to be) is well-vaccinated, many 3 or 4x, Omicron blew through the country and left us mostly unscathed, and the news hasn't talked about daily numbers in at least two months. There is little reason to wear a mask indoors unless you want to lessen your chances of catching the flu - which is ticking up a bit.

We probably don't meet the scientific/medical definition of the end of a pandemic, but socially, we're there.

However, if you're in the US and still feeling this way, you may be suffering from some low-grade PTSD. Don't be afraid to reach out for help.
