An important tool to find or write is one which will automatically sync your changes made locally (from the comfort of your IDE of choice) to the remote machine every time you save it.

You want to be able to iterate quickly and not have to manually run a command every time you want to sync changes. It's also a huge help to tie this into a way to run the unit tests for files which have been changed so you can get feedback and quickly as possible.

Ideally, everything should be made so automatic that you barely even notice the code isn't running on your machine.
Ask HN: Is there a reliable source to find freely hosted open-source software?
The recent shutdown of SSLPing and related comments made me think. There are so many generous individuals or organisations who host open source services for free on their infrastructure. I'm thinking of federated networks like Matrix or Mastodon or utilities like Jitsi, Cyberchef or SSLPing. Useful things if you know where to find them. I know of a few gists and pastebins floating around but this is a poor solution in my opinion. Wouldn't it make sense to have a centralized or federated database with such tools combined with servers where they are hosted? Does this already exist somewhere?
Conway's law - I don't think it's a joke at all.

Like most things in software engineering, it's qualitative and empirical - but also has very strong potential to function as a supporting "first principles" theory for so many things.

Conway - "How committees innovate"

http://www.melconway.com/Home/pdf/committees.pdf

I think this paper has a fantastic corollary in Peter Naur's "Programming as theory building" which triumphantly explores the implications of institutional knowledge in long term software maintenance.

local code editing + rsync command that you run manually or automatically(e.g. using fswatch)
Demanding users of OSS at a minimum will cost you time. At worst they can also cost you reputation. At best they can help you improve your project.

I think in most cases the entitlement many (most?) users have makes it a net negative these days. At least for popular projects.

I think the easiest solution is to charge for support. No issue reports or PRs unless you’re also a paying user.
BSDs are very interesting, I highly recommend checking some of them out. I think the most compelling case for them is the very tightly integrated kernel & OS which is largely decoupled from the user-space packages. I have completely hosed my Linux installs to the point of being unbootable a few times (to be clear, it was my fault every time!) by making mistakes with the package manager, but this isn't really possible with BSDs since the core operating system uses a completely separate method of updating and patching.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the systems are brutally minimalist. As in, Bash is considered a "fun bonus" rather than the core part of the system that is installed in /usr/local. That can be a substantial turn-off for some who see it as archaic or old-fashioned, but there's something to be said for the "stability" not deprecating such an old piece of software :)

Something you will probably appreciate is the consistency and documentation, even with little things like manpages. Every detail is ironed-out and perfected in a way that we're not really used to as Linux users.

There are some good guides out there for installing & configuring OpenBSD on an old laptop, and it's absolutely worth a try. It's without a doubt simpler and lighter than any mainstream Linux distro, and frankly just really fun to play with!
I'm curious, how do you achieve a strongly-typed database with sqlite?

sqlite's lack of verifying that your data fits in your defined schema is by far my biggest problem with sqlite.
SSH in and use a terminal editor. Or, create an SMB/CIFS share and mount it locally.
Imo, that is orthogonal. Soldiers being protected from random mistreatment as prisoners of war is ok no matter whether they committed crime or not.
I am used to work with "remote - SSH" vs-code extension with a remote server and it work like a charm, you can't tell that you are not at home.
I do all my coding this way BTW
You are not supposed to have a GUI view when you have 100K+ entries. Excel misguides people to think that database management is easy. The reality is it is not possible to have a GUI view of middle-large databases with millions of entries because it is computationally impossible
Depends. In principle you can log exactly what data the camera sends to the decision making unit. And you could replay that data.

The camera itself might not be deterministic enough to reproduce the same data with the same beetle, but replaying the log should work.

(Keep the log in a 'black box' on the car, and perhaps only keep the last x hours of data, if necessary.)

I think Waymo already does something like these kinds of replays.

Can you elaborate on the situation? Personally I’d just keep a local copy of the code and then use git or rsync to sync the remote system to my local version whenever I’m ready to.

If it’s just small things like a quick config change or something, I’d personally just ssh in and modify with vim.

For testing, you probably shouldn’t be doing that on a production system, perhaps you could stick the code in a docker container and run the tests locally? If you’re familiar with docker, that shouldn’t take more than a couple hours to set up, and likely much less time than that if the project isn’t super complex.

Feel free to explain your use case further and I bet people could give more targeted advice!

An app that connects whoever wants to sell or buy used books. Will it be appreciated and used?
Like everybody else, they take the path of least resistance. Of course, when that path is Excel they're in for a lot of resistance later (like needing to rename genes), but at first it feels smooth.

git?

If it's impossible to clone the environment for some reason, VS Code and JetBrains IDEs have remote support. Even vim can edit remote files.

It's not clear from your question what exactly is your problem, would you be willing to elaborate?
"Gather data so we can analyze this phenomenon" is a dodge. Some people, when confronted with a contrary opinion, transform into David Hume and demand that we all become empiricists. Would you demand evidence that the "Parental Rights in Education" bill does what you said? If we're going to be empiricists, let's wait on that and gather data before rendering a judgement.

Since I like my local development environment, I mostly use `sshfs`.

It mounts a remote directory onto a local directory and lets you access remote files as if they're local, with slight latency. Then you can use whatever tools you use locally to edit/compile/run the software.

Visual Studio Code Remote SSH? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh it will however install VS Code Server on target machine. So, for permanent development it is good. Not great if you only want to change one config file in PROD environment.

> The Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH extension allows you to open a remote folder on any remote machine, virtual machine, or container with a running SSH server and take full advantage of VS Code's feature set. Once connected to a server, you can interact with files and folders anywhere on the remote filesystem.

Once connected, even terminal runs on remote host. Moreover you get to forward ports from remote host to local using VSCode UI.
Our family follows a millennia+ tradition of fasting one day a week. On that day we aren’t supposed to use our digital devices.

It is fascinating seeing the morning transition from fidgety-ness to wanting to explore the real world.

I now feel bad for those trapped all week doom scrolling (no break!).

Life can be so much more, and I am thankful for my ancestors passing on this practical wisdom for leading a fuller life, even as the world has changed…
Very cool. I think I want some sort of "slide show" app running on a dedicated PC (maybe Raspberry Pi) + display. A folder of images and a few slide-show config parameters on how to display the images would be all that is needed.

You could archive the image folder + settings for, as you say, future use.

I would like to think something like the already exists (but easy enough tot create if not).

A teenage driver can lose its licence.

Feels to me, the mechanics as described hold for all non-cashflow assets with limited supply (e.g., art, collectibles etc.). And yes, markets there can collapse if new generations of buyers don't turn up (I think that is happening/has happened a bit with postage stamps, for example). Sometimes, other people will do the evangelizing, though, like museums "pushing" artists and thereby aiding valuations.
Investigated, yes. Grounding the whole fleet? Not necessarily.

It's a cost-benefit trade-off. We don't ground the whole fleet of human drivers, when one of them crashes their car, because the benefit doesn't outweigh the costs. It's not a given that the answer will change that much for self-driving cars. Especially for extremely rare failure modes.

Not denying that at all. There is however some residual misunderstanding left from the time they announced the change towards server licensing. A lot of people who don't deal with administration of Atlassian products thought they were getting rid of the entire self-hosted suite.
> Likewise "we won't use WMD/cluster bombs/rape/genocide". All those things will happen if things get desperate enough.

If they happen only after things are desperate enough, it is already improvement. Some countries seem to do them routinely, whether things are desperate or not.
I had a PM who would get deleted out of the company directory every 6 months. She resolved the issue by getting married.
Why shouldn't the government provide these services for the taxes people pay? If they spend a few hours checking everything is order on both sides for a few hundred I think that is reasonable. After that the court system again paid by taxes should resolve thing according to these.

I don't see any reason why a chain would help here too much, fixing the government should be much more effective in long run.
Puppet has to be one of the worst peices of software I've ever used. The language is full of terrible ideas (lets get rid of loops since those confuse sysadmins and make the only replacement require combinators via the goofy custom functions) and the documentation is full of broken links. Hira data always leaves you guessing at what a value actually is. It's like JS, you can make it work but it requires a ton of discipline and effort and is just ridiculous.

If you need to write unit tests for your deployment automation then you might be over complicating it.
Maybe a permissioned blockchain, but that has nothing to do with BTC and its preposterous environmental pollution, and will most definitely not get rid of lawyers. Do you think that it is a technical challenge at the moment, unsolved save for Bitcoin, to keep reliable records??

Puppet is one of those tools I refuse to use unless there's absolutely no other way to get something done. Mutable state is an anti pattern. Immutable versioned artifacts are the way.

A Forensic Analysis of Android Mobile Private Browsing Artifacts
There's humans behind every keyboard.
My biological grandfather got expelled from his private university and disinherited by his parents during the Vietnam war in 69, because he was a communist hippy basically, and went in Europe to help boat people. Lost all he had, and the only jobs he could get were basically undeclared construction/farming jobs in the Appalachians.

So anecdotal evidence to your point. If any of the deplatformed people has had a worst experience, I'd love to hear it.
Part of the problem, highlighted in the article: Users don't set the data type of the column off of "General". So it tries to figure out the data type on entry. Setting the column to use a specific type ("Text"), keeps it from trying to use heuristics to figure out that something is a date.

Something more recent is the introduction into Excel of Power Query, which lets you import a CSV and apply arbitrary transformations (such as applying a type), before it hits the workbook, so if you need to pull in a CSV, you can do so, and it will always be imported the same way.

It's called money, people use it to buy goods and services.

> I think it's extremely clear that I'm not trying to portray that exact number as a fact and more as a general portrayment of "most police officers are good, just as most people are good"

That sounds about as useful as the anecdotes in this thread. Police aren't a random sample of the population after all. Even if it's true that most people are good, that doesn't imply most police are.
Poor Perforce. Once upon a time it was a very useful and interesting product. For those of you who have only known a world of git, there was a time where a product like perforce was just awesome. Fast, functional, reasonably priced, and supported a variety of platforms (VMS!). But that was a long time ago.

Once git arrived, they didn't have the same place in the world and now its... a very different company.
Starting Your Date (Bad date-handling code)
I'd say actually less so. As a pedestrian I'd be much more confident stepping in front of a self-driving car, than stepping in front of a human-driven car.

So much so, that I've read about people's fears that self-driving cars will be subject to bullying by pedestrians (and other drivers).
The server instances are licensed forever also, you just stop receiving security updates.

Whether that's a risk people are willing to take is another question.

The reason they won't tell you is because you've already presented yourself as someone who would deny the racist goals of a bill merely because it doesn't explicitly mention race.

Differently put: everyone knows what these bills are except people who are in denial of institutionalized racism. You've used an argument structure that is reminiscent of that used by people who are in denial of institutionalized racism. Therefore, it is assumed that you are in denial of institutionalized racism, and thus, there's no point telling you about the bills because you're just going to be in denial about them anyway.

Meanwhile, anyone who is not in denial can just use any random search engine and find articles like this one:

Textbook burying of the lede here.
I've noticed that my reaction to other people's noises differs significantly depending on the type of noise.

If my neighbor is renovating at 10pm because she's a single mom trying to flip a house while also working 2 jobs, I turn on a noise generator in solidarity. If that same neighbor starts listening to music with too much bass, my initial reaction is more negative until I realize I may be creating noise too when I'm yelling at video games or sports and she may not appreciate hearing that.

I believe a strong sense of community is the missing link in a lot of these stories. Understanding is typically a necessary step before acceptance, and most of us don't have the time or take the time to establish that understanding. The world is so busy these days, and our time so filled by all forms of electronics, the only time we run into each other anymore is if we happen to be working on our gardens at similar times.
In that spirit, Perforce is a great match. Nobody willingly uses Perforce for version control.
> but received almost no media attention

This shooting appears to have been covered by the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun and the AP.

People like to blame a certain story not going viral on the media, but it's kind of a scapegoat argument. The press covered the event and people on Twitter chose not to elevate it. That doesn't mean the media was pushing a particular narrative.

In Breonna Taylor's case, black community activists raised their voices in the community to state plainly that her death was an indicator of a fundamentally toxic policing system. There is no such analog for the white right, because those folks are largely ones defending the police right now.
ah yes the whole "Coca Cola corp. says you can't just ban your kids from drinking and eating sugar !!! then when they turn 18 they'll fall off the wagon and eat nothing but sugar ! better to have them eat it throughout their childhood so they KNOW how to avoid it"

I don't think you should have a dog.
I live on a very busy road that sees >15,000 vehicles/day, including 18 wheelers, dump trucks, busses, tankers etc. It is noisy (nevermind the air pollution) from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM and I don't think local officials really appreciate it. I'd like to capture data, I'd even pay for it, but all of the "sound level" measuring devices are all junky and don't give accurate readings and don't store the data really well. I'm happy to pay for the right device or even better some certified service that can take measurements and create reports but I'm lost here. Any advice?

> On March 29th, DeepMind published a paper, "Training Compute-Optimal Large Language Models", that shows that essentially everyone -- OpenAI, DeepMind, Microsoft, etc. -- has been training large language models with a deeply suboptimal use of compute.

One consideration is that this type of data can't possibly answer the grandparents question, because we know that the rate of prosecution and conviction is rather unequal, so for any subpopulation "number of convicted criminals" can not be expected to be proportional to "number of crimes", if one of two groups has more convictions it does not imply that it actually has done more crime.
> Yet you can't bring the above up without some (predominantly white) people getting offended at the mere suggestion that the system is inherently racist.

Well, I am sorry, but bringing it up in a thread about a wealthy insurance broker Tarek Abou-Khatwa from D.C. definitely makes it sound like an alarmist racebait by a nutter.

Like, sure, government hides some stuff from the public. But it doesn’t make people who talk about UFOs and Zone 51 look reasonable when declassification is discussed.
Parquet is not plain text (but that is an oxymoron anyways), but otherwise afaik it is pretty solid data interchange format supported by a number of tools already. It doesn't have native formatting system, but it does allow arbitrary key-value metadata on columns so surely something could be cooked up with that.

It is hard to imagine any government giving such control to unknown digital identities. Communist-leaning countries don't count. They never wanted to empower people to trade with money anyway. It's all a scam and only good for money laundering or theft.
