If you feel I am "moving the goalposts" why not just prove your original case? If you are spending 5 minutes on reading the source code, why not instead spend them on proving your original assertion is correct? You can then let the readers decide if they feel I "move the goalposts".

I included the example:

yes 1000000 | parallel -kj10 "echo 'This is double spaced '{#}; seq {}" | pv >/dev/null

to give you some fixed "goalposts" to aim for: Provide a solution that gives the same output byte for byte.

Also you do not seem to get the point about the amount of data. I regularly have output from a single job that is bigger than RAM, but rarely have output from a single job that would fill /tmp. However, the total combined output from all the jobs will often take up more space than /tmp.

In numbers: RAM=32 GB, /tmp=400 GB, a single job=33 GB, number of jobs=1000, jobs in parallel=8.

In other words: Running all jobs and saving the outputs into files before outputting data will not be useful for me. If you want to use FIFOs I really cannot see how you can deal with output that is bigger than RAM, unless you mix output from different jobs - which again would not be useful to me. But prove me wrong by spending 5 minutes on building the solution.

As for your example:

yes 2000000000 | parallel seq | pv > /dev/null

How would you design this, if output from different jobs are not allowed to mix?

If they are allowed to mix paralel gives you:

# bytes are allowed to mix
yes 2000000000 | parallel -u seq | pv > /dev/null
# only full lines are allowed to mix
yes 2000000000 | parallel --lb seq | pv > /dev/null

none of these use space in /tmp.

I sit back with the feeling you are willing to spend hours complaining, but not 5 minutes on proving your assertion that it can be done "easy-ish".

Prove me wrong: Spend 5 minutes on the task you believed was "easy-ish".

If it cannot be done in 5 minutes, be brave enough to admit you were wrong.
Avoiding Google Search is already a sign of being at the more radical end of the spectrum IMO.

I don't think avoiding big tech is really possible without joining a separate offline society. You can reduce it but you're not going to keep your kids offline without their friends also being offline.
Not backwater IT market, more like the average.

Agile is cool if you have no dependencies. If you have to tie into some 15yo legacy system with a static release cycle its not so agile anymore.

Same with CD and microservices. I cant count how many times i had a requirement "dont deploy to prod before x.y.z" because thats when the required changes on some old system would go live. And even then you need approval of like three different departments...
Logically, shouldn't there also be a study taking a look at heart problems and blood pressure levels in people with congenital deafness?

We would then be able to separate the effect of noise vs. life stress. Surely, for any study about stress, socioeconomic status should also be a factor.
Would the name for a bovine classify as a "Wanderwort"?:

Sanskrit: Ghou
English: Cow
Danish: Ko
German: Kuh

Or is it more of an indication of the Indo-European relationship between the languages?
What is emerging? All I see is a scholarly rejection of neoclassical policy. Since 2007 we've seen the frightfully predictable upsurge in Keynesian ideas. The articles on that site don't seem to go beyond Keynes whatsoever.

Since 2007 there's also been a surge of interest in classical political economy, as forwarded by Anwar Shaikh and Michael Roberts. But there's no paradigm shift in this work, and I don't see any influence of this trend on that site anyway.
Keep in mind that invading their privacy means breaking their trust at an age where a large part of their emotional and social development all but requires it. It's a good way to ensure that they won't come to you with any delicate topics later on, like questions and concerns about drugs, sex, or shady behaviour of peers — you know, the part where you want to be that trustworthy parent that they can talk to, always. To them this is like requiring them to use the bathroom with the door open with you looking in — you don't do that after a certain age unless you have a severely mentally handicapped child.

Also, you won't really block them from anything unless you forbid them to meet up with friends with their own unmonitored devices.

Happy to go back to dev only roles until I retire.

Don’t give a shit about titles or org chart any more, since house paid off last month, no debt, a few hundred K in liquid investments. Only reason I went for those roles was to accelerate this time table.

Dev compensation in return for no responsibility over people or project execution or deliveries any more is juuust fine by me.
Gravity is an incredibly feeble force; storing large amounts of energy this way requires a lot of rocks and a lot of land.
> You don't want your kid to be that kid who doesn't have a smartphone

Why not? If you think that smartphone usage is harmful to your child, then you absolutely are justified in letting them be "that kid". Being moderately socially constrained is actually a perfectly fine thing if the alternative is worse.

> Being socially excluded was the bane of my life in school, and I'll be damned if I'm going to be a contributing factor to my child becoming a pariah

I don't know anything about you in particular, so I can't say whether this is a good idea or not. But we have to recognize the tradeoffs: unfettered access to social media from a young age with all of its downsides OR being the only kid without a cellphone and those accompanying downsides. Which one harms your kid more? Think about it and make your decision, but once you've made that decision you have to bite the bullet and accept the costs.
>This happened much less frequently in the past as it would ruin the taxi company’s reputation.

Are you sure about that? I remember taxis being notoriously unreliable before Uber was around.

It seems like that's a major reason Uber took off - passengers could actually see the car was coming, rather than placing a call and just praying the driver didn't pull a no-show.

Anyways, I don't think either of us have anything beyond anecdotal evidence so it's hard to say.
Compared to the standard deployment stack these days: what SSLPing was using seems extremely simple though honestly.
Solaris was technically better, no question, but linux got "good enough" and for most customers that put expensuve Sun licences out of the question.

Back then, Microsoft saw sun as a major competitor, I don't think its out of the question they would have tried selling Unix again. They did in the 1980s.
Amazons backloaded RSU vesting schedule might have something to do with it.
> Yes, the point of capitalism is that people can do that, but shouldn't.

The "shouldn't" isn't very relevant here though. People shouldn't do that under a communist system either, and yet it happens under both.

> I almost feel like "unregulated capitalism" is just a straw man argument that others get tricked into trying to defend.

I wish it was a strawman, unfortunately libertarians who promote this kind of capitalism (which to be clear isn't all libertarians) are a prominent political group whose members include many elected officials!
It depends entirely on whether a team is willing to put the effort into it - primarily this means thorough integration testing. I've worked on teams at very small and very large companies, and sometimes there's CD and other times there's not. Even within a team there's sometimes deployments that are manual while others are automated.
I read the US import of Russian oil went up in India news clips shared online, is it true?

Their own worst enemy then. I didn't figure Atlassian as a NIH shop but that story is scary.
Well sure, each and every smart contract has an automatic bug bounty attached.
True regarding the active market, but generally speaking for your offering to be attractive to that market it has to be already successfully generating income above its costs. There is far less of a market for loss-leaders.

(The exception to that, by the way, is that if anyone here ever builds anything so useful to a particular company that their sales engineers or developer evangelists are routinely using it or writing blog posts about how to use it you should absolutely get in touch with them and ask them to buy it.)
Perhaps. Even if it was, there are enough stories that did play out exactly like this for real, so I don't suppose it terribly matters much. Being aware of something being fake becomes most relevant if people start soliciting donations etc.
What evidence could he give without doxing himself ?
Show HN: A minimal, unbloated archiving and bookmarking tool
Dorsey chose not to ban Trump, and then he did. That was a huge change for Twitter, and it didn't seem to rock the boat at the company at all.

This is (probably) a good example of why it's hard. Dorsey understood that banning Trump would have been problematic, so he didn't. He, and probably others, worked to change the company internally to be somewhere where they could do that. Rather than do it and then deal with the fallout he worked to steer the company to be more open to being to be somewhere without Trump. Then he could ban Trump without the fallout.

That's how you change a company. Buying a big chunk of it and then issuing decrees about how it works now is much less likely to work. No doubt Elon understands that completely, and has no intention of doing it. He'll work to move Twitter in the direction he wants, maybe with the help of others, until he can then claim to have changed it overnight or something. He's not silly.
> It amuses me more than it should that the CEO of Twitter has posted an image of text (from the iOS Notes app?) to get around the Twitter character limit.

I also find quite amusing the fact that Twitter's original 140 character limitation stemmed from compatibility with SMS gateways.

That part of Twitter is now all but obsolete, I assume. But we're left in a regressed state where people still communicate long-form text as if going through SMS ("threads").
Patents have nothing to do with it.

And its not wishful thinking at all. Solaris development was happening in public it was well integrated with the community its not at all crazy to think that at least part of the development team would have continued working in the same way.

There were good products build on top of Solaris technology that IBM would have continue to develop and sell. Those products would not easily be built on top of AIX anytime soon.

IBM didn't need ANOTHER proprietary Unix, why would they go the Oracle route and make it proprietary again? What possible reason would IBM have to do that? The Openness of Solaris was what made it different form their other offerings.

IBM had also invested quite a bit of money in Linux and RedHat is literally part of IBM now. And apparently they have not acted the same as Oracle.
I can only speak for myself, but my honest answer would be that indeed, self-hosting probably won't be easy to do any time soon. We're trying to get a less technical audience to benefit from privacy protections too, and I don't think there's a good approach to get them to self-host as well, so focusing our limited time on other things is probably more effective. But who knows, actual use and user research do influence our roadmap, so nothing's set in stone.

But you're absolutely right, the caveat is indeed that the reason you care about open source does matter. If you want to self-host, you're probably better off with another product. If you want to be able to see what code is running, or even be in control of the running code yourself (even if it's running on someone else's servers), then Relay might be interesting too.

I knew about the AMD Server but I didn't know they had Workstations too. These to look pretty awesome.
> It's generally much easier to capture value that you create than to capture value that others create.

I think that's probably true in general, but that over the course of ~100 years of capitalism the edge cases where this isn't true have been exploited sufficiently that it's starting to become a big problem. The clearest illustration of this being real estate. There are a lot of people getting rich by doing nothing other than buying and holding onto to real estate, often at the expense of others being able to make use of that resource.
I kinda love how that effort backfired, and the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" became a fairly cool symbol
What you are saying seems like a dream job for me.

I really like blender and have experience working with it and love 3D in general. Surely I'll look more into your suggestion. Thanks.
Or just stay small to have manageable user base.

I have created https://kyselo.eu/ which is social network for refugees of now-defunct Soup.io.
It does a little more and little less.

More: Enter a list of (sub-) domains and get informed via email when "SSL things" change (for better or for worst), or your https certificate is about to expire.

Less: No fancy pansy "report"

Personally I prefer https://hardenize.com nowadays, over ssllabs for these kind of queries.
Grid storage has different constraints than, e.g. electric vehicles; in particular, size and weight is less important since they aren't moving. This makes it viable to use battery tech which is less efficient, but cheaper/safer/etc. For example, flow batteries or iron/air batteries.
My favorite Agile failure case is when you have all the meetings and still fail, because you spent all your time on Agile paperwork instead of designing and building a product.
A life isn't really that simple to define but yes. There are many "sins" external to the creation of life that warrant consideration of carrying a pregnancy to term. Some of them include inbreeding. At that point am okay with letting the society or the creators decide on the baby but am a bit more liberal on life created as a result of violence or psychological manipulation.
Take a look at Giga Texas' launch and let me know if you still feel that way.

I wonder what you've achieved in your life that makes you think you're in a position to say anything about that man
For an example of that, see here: https://github.com/wesbos/burner-email-providers/pull/339

But yes, definitely a concern that is constantly on our radar.
You are not obligated to run the service (whatever it may be). Run it because you want to, run it because you are exploring cool ideas. Work through the though spots because it is worth it and you are happy afterwards.

But when it causes you prolonged stress, or you just don't have the time anymore you are free to shot it down. You can do that now, at x months in the future, or randomly when your servers die. I think your users would prefer that you give them an x months heads up even if they would technically get longer service waiting for your servers to die.

You don't have to sacrifice yourself for people you have never met and who have done nothing for you.
+1. Can vouch for these and have in every backpack as well :)
> Seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Especially when most of the risks the author sees are technical security issues. The real issue is that kids and adults alike are unable to police their screen time.

I have made a conscious decision to limit my smartphone usage to communication, not entertainment, and it seems to work fine.
I guess it's too early to tell. But even when I was in uni, "not being on facebook" (back when facebook was relatively new) was heavily penalizing. And we were adults.
I think the pendulum might be swinging the other way - me and a lot of other folks in my stage 4 support group got given a very grim diagnosis and subsequent prognoses from our oncologists even though the 5 year survival statistics are outdated.

It was quite depressing in the beginning but after connecting with some people who have survived years past their onc's expiry date, I feel hopeful.
It's a fine line and you have to go with some of it safely. However, there are items that are 100% toxic and as parents we need to decide what those are. Things like rap/hip-hop music as an example, or TikTok. There are some things that just can't be consumed safely by impressionable minds. When they're older they can get into them if they so wish, but my hope is that their brains by that point would at least be mature enough to see how toxic these things are. My job as a parent is not to make the world appear peachy perfect for them, but to give them the tools to deal with the world when they're adults
Yes, it is recommended to use a completely random email by default, and only use your custom domain as a fallback when you can't use the random one (e.g. when you have to give up your email somewhere in-person). We're looking into ways to make that clearer, because people's intuition tells them to use their custom subdomains by default.
Only if it travelled through the languages afaiu. Sounds more like a common root to me, which wouldn't be a wanderwort.
> Why not? If you think that smartphone usage is harmful to your child, then you absolutely are justified in letting them be "that kid".

It's a trade-off - is peer ostracisation worth the benefits from lack of tech?

Most people, myself included, would say "No".

> Being moderately socially constrained is actually a perfectly fine thing if the alternative is worse.

It is not a moderate social constraint, it's a complete and utter exclusion from the set of peers.
Yeah it had occurred to me that what I'm doing was just a GSet writ large. In my mind a CRDT was always a single record, not a collection of them - still not convinced that doesn't change it.

But if CRDTs really are a kind of a meta-language for resolving conflicts in a sane way - whether the CRDT is a single record or a whole data store - that's a nice thought. The CouchDB CRDT could be defined.
> This seems to be the #1 complaint about him. Honestly, so what? Since when is Twitter serious business?

His Twitter account is actually listed as a source of material information in a 2013 10-K Tesla SEC filing -- so his Twitter account in particular is serious business. He paid a $20m fine to the SEC for making a fake announcement in 2018 that he'd take Tesla private at $FUNNY_NUMBER[1] and has been sued by several people (including JP Morgan[2]) due to the associated losses of his fake announcement.

Agile projects can still fail obviously, but when they do they tend to fail in smaller ways (eg 4 weeks late instead of 6 months late, or almost hit the requirements instead of completely missed). That's a massive win.
with reference to your second question, you can listen to this podcast:

"I was scrolling Tiktok on my phone. I don't think I registered as an user."

I'm not sure if "registered" refers to having created a user account or being logged in while browsing.

Either way, if it is only "think" and not know exactly, good luck evading more subtle tracking.
I'd argue that any significant wealth inequality constitutes a market distortion. It undermines the "wisdom of the crowd" that underpins capitalism.

In my mind Solaris was Open in mid-2000s but now looking it up it was only in the later 2000s when it opened up. Yeah, it would have need to be Open.

> Back then, Microsoft saw sun as a major competitor, I don't think its out of the question they would have tried selling Unix again. They did in the 1980s.

I don't really see it. The competition was mostly in the server space. If Microsoft wanted to adopt UNIX to compete why would Sun buying Apple have change anything?
Sometimes, I've just kept on coding through the meeting. It's like listening to a podcast as you code. You do have to keep one ear out in case someone asks you a question directly, but listening for your name Alexa-wake-word-style isn't that hard.

My 14yo daughter came home from binging 80s movies with friends and wistfully told me, “I wish I’d grown up in the 80s.”
I said, “Why??”
She said, “Because everything was a lot like it is now, but no smartphones.”
It's also why HP, the actual engineer led scientific instrument manufacturer HP, left the computer industry and became Agilent leaving the vacuum cleaner sales people part behind. It's a crying shame, but you're right, PC manufacturers were and still are in a brutal race to the bottom.

For a while I though HP might have a chance on mobile, when they took on webOS. If they could have established a compelling platform stack with hardware, operating system and a decent dev environment they could have had a chance to grow their margins a bit. The problem is I suspect the PC side of HP just wasn't up to it. I had an HP digital camera around that time and it was a bulky, blocky uninspiring lump of a device.
Good point but I don't really care about E2EE for my usecase. I mainly use it for my local bridges and my Matrix instance isn't even publicly accessible or linked to the rest of the matrix network. So for my use it really doesn't matter.

I think Nheko suffers from low-density UI the same as Element. Especially the room list. But unlike Element it does support tags properly which is indeed great.
Seems that running this in a container to start with would have guaranteed certain libraries and OS settings were consistent…
Agreed. I was teaching from it (AI 101, search/agents, no ML) and it's possibly the best textbook I have encountered. It's structured very well.
