I think you took more offense in that than intended ;)

On your first point, you said

> The person you're reacting to was correct.

So I took "you" to be the parent (godelski) who was responding (=reacting) to ncmncm, who accused me of spreading disinformation. You then continued with

> They're reacting to someone who is spreading information they well know to be false.

I took this "they" to reference ncmncm, who is responding (reacting) to my original comment - which then means that you would've said that I'm spreading misinformation.

Given this new information, the "they" probably referenced "godelski", too - which is the source of our misunderstanding.

To you second point, you're right that this was probably not the best strategic response. That being said, my original comment provided arguments and a (hopefully) valid source, while the responses accused me of spreading knowingly wrong information (well, technically only one did, but as outlined in point 1, I was unaware of that at the time of writing the comment). Proving that I knew what I said was wrong is a pretty high bar, so I decided to ask for only points that were wrong in my original comments.

The comment was a bit salty, I agree, but in the context that I made a good argument (IMO) and the only response was "false" without even a hint to a specific fault, I didn't really see a more reasonable way to respond - but I should've pointed this out more clearly. It was definitely not my intention to make someone work for free to debunk my baseless claims.

And, to end things, just a minor nitpick - I'm actually not a nuclear fanboy at all, I was just responding honestly why desert solar was not an option, since it was something I've looked at before.
Technically a minority, but 40% of homes in the US cook with gas.
It's bad. Ignoring quotes around search terms, etc. has brought me from a google master to a consumer of content by the best "pets of google".
I've only seen UK Marmite a few times, and I would describe it as having a tar-like consistency, more viscous than honey, but would still 'pour' off a knife. Vegemite is more 'solid' (but still spreadable), like peanut butter or non-melted butter.
The document describes two kinds of isolation models.

- Tasks running on a dedicated EC2 instance.

- Tasks running in firecracker micro-vm, using a shared EC2 instance.

However it doesn’t seem to clarify when a given task would be ran on a dedicated instance, or on a shared instance using firecracker.

The other things I don’t really understand about fargate, is the rationale around limiting container privileges and capabilities, they allow it on vanilla ECS.

From their description, tasks never share the same OS/kernel, so getting root shouldn’t mean compromise of other customers tasks.
> if you develop on a slow machine you'll never build something your customers can't use

This is the philosophy I try to go by. Some call it premature optimisation, but I just like working on optimisation as part of the normal dev process, rather than a secondary step which is all too easy to gloss over.

It gets a bit more difficult when it comes to game dev though, which is the current dilemma I'm in (need a new personal machine, which may end up being the x220, but that'll find use in any case).
> I like being able to replace individual parts of my laptop with newer, better hardware without having to throw out the whole device.

Do you actually do that, or do you just like the idea of being able to do it ? Even on a desktop PC, where upgrading is much easier and more common, I've never seen the point.

Either you upgrade fairly often, in which case you pay a relatively large amount for marginal improvements, or you upgrade every few years, in which case you need to replace so many parts you might as well replace the entire machine.

Say you upgrade the CPU to a newer model after a year, that's a fairly costly upgrade and how much additional performance will you get in return ?

If you wait a few years to upgrade your CPU, you'll find that the new CPU also requires a new motherboard, and the new motherboard requires a new type of RAM. They you find out that your old GPU is now a bottleneck, and when replacing that you realise your new GPU requires an new power supply as well. By the time you're finished all you've done is recycled the case.
NASA, you'd be welcome any time
What's Amazon in this example? Hacker News? Google Search? All of these are problems that are still perfectly well suited to server-side HTML generation - the dominant user interaction replaces all / a significant part of the page, with relatively minimal non-database state preserved between interactions (a cart for amazon, your user name, your search term). All of that can be built perfectly simply by a traditional request-response cycle with some Javascript enhancement.

Going SPA for most "webapps" (if app is defined as something that isn't purely static) is a massive waste of time. Use Javascript on the few items that require more interactively, but if most of the time major interactions are replacing > 50% of the UI, a SPA isn't buying you anything.
Disclaimer: I am neither a planetary scientist nor a biologist.

Can someone help me understand the desire to put a DNA sequencer on the Enceladus mission? I haven't previously read anything that suggests DNA as being so fundamental to life that it's a safe assumption exotic moon microbes have it. In fact, discovering that exotic moon microbes have DNA exactly like Earth life would seem like the biggest discovery humanity has yet made.

What am I missing?
That sounds like you're not giving enough detail. If you don't mention the approximate scale that you have right now, you can't expect people to glark it from context.
was about to recommend the G14 as well.

No, people distinctly remember that when the first wave of hype about the web came along, the public was being encouraged to buy books on Amazon.com, other stuff on eBay.com browse masses of content on Yahoo and AOL and of course post lots of messages on the social media of the day. Most of this interaction was free to the user not an "investment", and it was recognisable as a slower and lower resolution version of most of what we had today by the middle of the first decade of the Web.

The Internet existed before then in various forms, but never as an industry of rich people trying to convince poorer people to invest all their savings in email.
Don't turn HN into reddit, please.
I’m currently in an internal solutions engineering role that checks most of your boxes. My day is spent working with business and software teams throughout the company; figuring out how to improve processes, bring new products to market, etc. I build out proofs of concept to show the software teams how to move forward on an idea and help the business teams visualize next steps. I also act as the engineering manager.

You have to be careful with that title. Most solutions engineering roles are client-facing. Client services isn’t really my cup of tea, but it may be for you.
Europa seems a lot more exciting
There was a recent discussion on the StarBook: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31034024 - in the comments I mention a few other laptops I've been looking at that may be of interest as well as my own review/experience w/ a laptop w/ the same chassis as the KDE Slimbook 15/Tuxedo Pulse 15.
It's not clear your logic actually follows, presumably some fraction of those 100M would pay if sharing passwords wasn't an option.
> Uranus has not been explored up close since a flyby of the Voyager mission in 1986.

Whenever I start feeling down about everything good being done, I like to think about how much we just don’t know. It’s amazing to me that we have these planets nearby and know almost nothing about them. Also the deep sea, etc. we still have a lot to explore.
Monads are just type constructors with two operations: bind and pure. I fail to see the connection and why do you need a type constructor with a bind and pure operation at all to solve SSR.
They have more competitors than ever before.

They raised prices.

They planned to crackdown on their subs.

They do crackdown on vpns.

They haven't made the 'black ukrainian falling in love with trans russian soldier' movie yet.

Netflix is going to lose a ton more subs until they make that movie.

> Are you saying the intel WiFi chip is pin compatible with the Realtek? That’s an amazing find.

I thought that most laptops have the WiFi on a mini-PCI card these days (or really anything in the past 10 years) unless they are really trying for the ultra-slim, solder everything down look.
Cant agree more.

I've stopped buying new laptops and now I use refurbished Thinkpad P50 with i7, 64GB RAM, 512 SSD for ~1100 USD.

If I need to do something really computing intensive, I rent a cloud VM ;-) Actually, I've one for each project I'm working on, and I scale them as/if needed.
Because the owners of those movies now have their own streaming services. Netflix can't stream what they don't own or are able to license.

Amazon now owns MGM so that means over time the majority of MGM movies will only be on Prime.
Innate immune suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations
I strongly believe that software development estimations are futile.
Streaming companies just can’t help themselves. There’s Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+, Hulu, ESPN+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, and I think Peacock (for now?).

The industry self-own is hilarious. It’s easier to just pirate or rent than deal with this many random services.

And Netflix just keeps dumping out algorithmically generated focus grouped content. There is plenty of good content on Netflix but not enough to justify a monthly costs. Most of what I actually want to watch is spread out across a dozen different services.

And now Netflix wants to try and kill one of the last things that kept me as a customer. If I share the account I can stomach the costs. If I have to pay for the full account by myself, I’m canceling.

Perhaps Netflix should focus on partnerships and bundles. Ads, any ads at all, is an instant dealbreaker for me.

They're losing subscribers, because of multiple reasons, most of which are their own fault:

- Subscription prices keep rising, and they were already very high.

- Libraries decreasing as they lose the licensing to other streaming services.

- Originals are hit and miss, mostly miss, and get cancelled constantly after 1 season.

- Crackdown on VPN and password sharing.

- COVID lockdowns are mostly over in Europe, US and Canada.

-Libraries outside the US are a fraction of the size of the US library, some legitimately have less than 10% of its content, while asking for the same amount of money.

- More competition than ever, and it's only growing.

Increasing the sub prices and cracking down further, isn't going to bring in more customers on an already diluted competitive market.

Also on the password sharing specifically.

We pay for 2 or 4 simultaneous streams on Netflix. It doesn't matter if I'm at home streaming, while someone 15min away from me is also streaming it on the same account. I paid you for the connections, you shouldn't tell me who can use them or from where.
Oh wow, that is awful.
Unfortunately, that penalty has no teeth, regardless of where the filer is.
What's offensive about it? Today energy generation of any kind has to have a way to transport that energy to a consumer. Bitcoin is in a privileged position of being able to use energy to create value locally to the energy producer. You might argue a datacenter could do the same thing but a datacenter requires a lot of staff and infrastructure while a mining operation doesn't. There's also the problem of a high speed high bandwidth internet connection.

So what is your solution to this? There are ways to generate energy purely from ocean waves, this is being used near shore for the reasons stated above (you must transport the produced energy to shore) but we could install these way further and just rely on a sattelite connection for internet.

How else would you utilize these yet untapped potential energy producing areas? Handwaving and using strong negative words aren't an argument.

Unless you’re training some ml models or doing heavy graphics, you might not need super heavy compute/gpu. If you do need, then remote into a desktop or vm is another option.

I have for the past 5 years or so focused on battery life over compute for my machines and then used RDP to access a VM dev machine hosted in azure. It’s worked great, and I was able to use free azure credits that came with msdn. You can do similar with ec2 and google compute. There are also container based dev environment services out there now. The benefit being you don’t need dev cruft on your everyday carry laptop. Plus if you get a new laptop or have multiple, your dev environment doesn’t change.

That said I did just switch to an m1 max as I also need to do Xcode. That has been a solid machine, though might be above budget. You could run Linux on it pretty sure.
It is xkcd though.

WebGPU as proposed by Apple was basically Metal. Naturally other vendors weren't keen on implementing this, so they arrived at a compromise which is a bastard child of Metal and Vulkan.

They couldn't even adopt an existing shader language and invented a new one. That goes as far as invent new and unprecedented language constructs https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/569
Losing subscribers? How about we crack down on users and raise prices!

Genius
Not OP, but MacOS has very different ergonomics than Linux. My latest frustration on MacOS is switching between desktops/workspaces quickly. In any Linux distro, I can use both alt-tab and desktops to manage windows and switch instantly between programs. On MacOS, even when I disable animations using accessibility settings ("Reduce Motion"), switching workspaces comes with a delay during which the workspace appears switched, but keyboard input is eaten because the application window hasn't been given focus by the WM yet. Linux gives me the freedom to switch WMs, but on MacOS, I'm trying to cobble together something workable using alt-tab (the app) and accessibility settings, and still not succeeding. I've searched for a fix[0], but no luck so far.

I agree about power management, but having freedom to configure things like this is a bigger factor for me personally. As far as package management, my experience with apt has been better than my experience using brew, though both are serviceable.

Tuxedo pulse15 is great.

Only issue I have so far is that I have a crumb stuck under the shift key and haven't figured out how to get it out without damaging the key. It's a very flat keyboard which may not be for everyone.
Uranus is an interesting choice, because besides its name (and perhaps its tilt) it's pretty much the most boring planet in our Solar System. The article mentions a gravity assist that would help line things up, but I'm wondering if the findings are intended to also apply to Neptune, which is a lot more active.
Honestly, I share with my Mom but she would never pay for her own account anyway.
I don't use Netflix much myself so I'd probably cancel if my mom can't use it.
Europa is already getting a visitor in the form of the Europa Clipper, which along with Mars sample return was the top priority of the previous Decadal Survey.
Automobiles and airplanes already work on a ‘circular economy’ in that a car gets crushed and the major part of the materials reused. Phones, laptops, food packaging and buildings on the other hand are seen as disposable.
Cheaper, higher capacity, easier access to space should be their priority. Then they can explore all the planets.
Just get your job done and make sure your coworkers know when you'll be gone and when you'll be back. You're right - you're human and need to get things done that aren't your job. Maybe, like, just don't feel bad. Your boss doesn't feel bad for preventing you from living the rest of your life outside of work.
My second thought on this - this sounds a little bit like humble bragging. "I don't have time to get my basic chores done because I have such a good work ethic". Is this really because you're too squeamish about being assertive? Just be matter-of-fact about it. Tell your manager that you have something you need to get done, the day and times you'll be gone, and then you've done your part.
I disagree. Airtightness is far more important than insulation. Insulation is worthless if air currents can simply carry the heat and bypass the insulation.

And unless you're building an ICF house, some minor thermal bridging is unavoidable. But it does not matter because you can just insulate more somewhere else to make up for it. Exterior foamboard insulation around the entirety of the house is already quite common and cost-effective.
I just experimented with putting a thin layer of shiro miso on my buttered toast.

It didn't quite work for me. Miso flavour turns out to be very compatible with toast but my test miso didn't have enough tang to cut through properly, so the impression it left was dominated by salt. Marmite and relatives are salty as well, but they have more bite in the flavour.
To be completely honest, I am, as you probably might have already guessed, biased in the sense that I accept and believe the Bible.

Still being as honest as possible, I'll attempt to respond constructively to the details you provided:

Instead of myriads, I counted 7 alleged contradictions, of which only 3 are related to the timeline and (again, imho) easily disregarded by answering "while" to the question of "before or after?".

The other 4 alleged contradictions are not necessarily incompatible facts, but rather incomplete, related accounts of a whole situation. What I mean by that is that there are plausible explanations on why those examples are written in different ways.

For example, the criminals mocking Jesus at the cross. Of three accounts, two say the criminals were hating. Only one of the accounts goes on to say that one of the thieves repents. You've got two possibilities here: either you examine the three accounts as a whole and arrive at the conclusion that they both started hating and eventually one repented (do let me know if you honestly don't consider this to be a possibility), or you decide that there's no explanation as to why there are no four identical accounts of that situation, and therefore the whole Bible doesn't make sense.

Another example, when the soldiers compel Simon of Cirene to carry the cross. One of the accounts does not include that, but rather says that He, bearing His cross, went forth into (towards, in the direction, with the intention of getting to...) the place of the skull. Again, the options. Could it be that the one writing the fourth account was not present when Simon started carrying the cross? Is it absolutely so impossible that there's some explanation to that?

We could go on with the rest of contradictions, but that's not the point. I acknowledge that minor details as the colour of a robe might be messed up during in history across 2000 years and multiple transcriptions and translations, because after all, there is human intervention in the Bible. One says the robe was scarlet, one says the robe was purple. Does that really compromise the Truth exposed in the Bible? Does it invalidate His sacrifice at the cross?

I am still to find or be shown a relevant inconsistency, just one point that really contradicts a fundamental truth on the Bible with itself. Something that compromises the fact that God himself gave His Son who died as a person in the world to clean us from our sinful nature and give us eternal life in His presence.

They do have a bit of a similar flavor profile - intensely savory 'umami' type flavor. Marmite/Vegemite is a a lot stronger and saltier though, and does have its own unique flavor.
I have, they’re overwhelmingly grateful to be able to work in much better conditions for much better pay than they would at home.
But how many people will stop paying because they only keep it for their parents, partners, or friends? This could easily result in less subscribers.

If Netflix were so sure about the benefits of blocking password sharing, they could've done this years ago. Arguably many people subscribe to the comparatively very expensive UHD plan because they can share passwords with up to 3 people.
I'm a grownup adult, pay my taxes on time, overall a serious person but I can't ever stop giggling on Uranus headlines.
Since QEMU devs/maintainers are lurking, i just want to say thank you for a fantastic project.

I work for a company (Datto) that backs up Windows/Linux machines, which can then later be run as VMs for disaster recovery. Our product heavily relies on QEMU, and would be significantly harder to implement and maintain without it (believe me, it was built around VBox in the past). Thank you!
How would you convince people to go with you over Cloudflare Sites, Vercel, Netlify etc? Is the pitch "we do what they do, but less" compelling?
I'm implementing Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle[1] in JS with Pixi.js and Vite (might switch to SvelteKit). Immutable data structures with Immer.

Right now, I have ported two Pixi.js examples so they update instantly without losing state. I'm also using Immer so I can add a slider for history (and future trails) without much more effort.

I made the switch back to mac after spending the last 9 years exclusively using linux on desktop with the release of the M1 Pro chip. I haven't regretted it. Their new chips really are impressive for their combination of performance and battery life. Combine that with Apple long having been the only manufacturer to manage high display resolutions without compromising battery life. It's the first laptop that I'll leave unconnected to power even when it would be convenient to connect it.

I'm definitely very keen to use Asahi once it's more stable and has support for more of the hardware though. For now I have an Arch Linux ARM VM that I keep running for some things (Haskell development on M1 is still a bit of a mess) and I can VNC into a Linux desktop over 2.5 gigabit LAN when I really yearn for my old workflows.

I think GP is suggesting it be renamed to Urbutthole or something like that to make it specifically distinguished as camp and pun so as to filter out anyone who would set their scientific priorities based on the name of the celestial body.

I’m not one to scream about kids these days but it seems really weird that someone would suggest renaming a planet to avoid elementary school puns. And the puns probably help with Uranus science.

Of course, some DNA sequences were recently renamed to avoid Excel errors so maybe we’re entering the era of trying to make subjective changes because it’s hard to understand or hard to change objective things.
