You might think that's useful behavior; personally I absolutely prefer the Terraform model of having to explicitly import things into state that weren't created by Terraform.

Rick’s explanation is he has some friends at music labels who give him the original stems (isolated tracks) for educational purposes

you can find the stems of many songs online and some artists often offer remix packs (which you can easily obtain by contacting their label/publisher)

you can also try splitting them yourselves with some ML: https://github.com/deezer/spleeter
This is important to note, however you can somewhat infer it from the post:

> I settled on adapting one of my more popular [blog posts][2] that I keep updated through each version of iOS into a five book series (one for each topic of accessibility, design, UX, APIs and a catch all bonus one).

They have a blog, around for years, and a post which is popular compared to others, constantly updated and comprehensive enough to be the basis of a book.

Really doesn’t sound like an overnight thing. And not surprising to pass 10K followers when you have such a free offering.
Help with Mibox
Hello! I'm new here. I need help with my mibox. I need a new app so I can watch movies
I have TeaTV and it's awesome!
I hate to say it but there's no better advertisement than this on Hacker News.
I've found it depends on what paradigm one is using. The borrow checker is great in some architectures that agree with it, but pretty incompatible with a lot of basic abstractions and can therefore impose more artificial complexity and refactoring in many situations.

It also depends on one's familiarity with the languages, I've used both pretty extensively and can't comment on the velocity when just learning.

Just my experience, YMMV.
Well….they had a following and an asset they transformed.

Step one is build the asset and the following. The book is almost the easy part relative to that.

But some don’t realize they can just….provide something useful and people will follow them. And others do have an audience and don’t realize they can make a product for them.

They might be helpful for humans, just as rhythm or a bassline might be, but it's not what makes this song great (to answer the title of the post). This would have been a great song if it was just sung without any accompaniment, even though of course it does make it much better. These 60 melodies I made are not even taking any chords into considerations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzMRqh5SkFwkumE578Y....

If you read what the best pop songwriters (Max Martin) say about it, they start with a hook: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20191119-max-martin-the-... "He's always talking about melody and striving to find that thing that makes it magical."
Regardless of whether this is true (I don't think it is), it's probably not the right metric: even if Microsoft Word was completely offline and had no way to make Internet connections (it does), memory unsafety in it is exploitable by getting a user to open a file.

(And the funny thing about "trusted" communications: they're trusted until an attacker figures out how to store and forward untrusted data, at which point a logic error in the server itself is now nicely composable with code that "didn't need" to be particularly memory safe.)
As Richard Feynman says, "Knowing how something works only adds to its beauty, doesn't take it away".

Completely disagree with you on this.
I don’t have any convincing links, but my sell would be that a yokel like me was able to learn and build things with Nim really quickly. It was something like 4 hours to start getting familiar and seeing results. I was able to make a wordle clone in a few days of very limited spare time.

The reference I used the most was this:

That seems like madness to me: YAML? Really? Is this some variant of K8s Stockholm syndrome?

It's always seemed to me that one of the virtues of Terraform was that the language was just declarative, and rich enough to express what you needed without becoming a Turing tarpit.
Just a quick point in defense of SQLite: that last one is almost verbatim possible in SQLite, and it is possible to calculate ordinals, although the syntax is with standard SQL rather than a custom syntax. The SQLite docs mention that they never found a use case for jsonb that ended up being faster or more efficient than json, so they left it out, although they do reserve the BLOB data type for jsonb if such a use case is discovered.
I'm most familiar with AWS, but I assume Azure and GCP have similar features.

Use some tag unique to the project and tag all resources on creation. When deleting resources delete everything not in your stack that has the tag. You can find these resources using the provider's tagging APIs, e.g. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-resource-tagging-ap...
Because you get paid more per hour?
amen! as another commenter here rightly put:

state or idempotency, pick one.

hello? how is this even a question? i have a hard time believing that idempotent infrastructure mutations are not the right move almost always.

shameless plug[1], i’ve been exploring an aws specific approach to infrastructure that is stateless and idempotent for exactly these reason.

slow, finicky, stateful deploys are about as awful as it gets. add a pinch of lowest common denominator among all providers, and that’s a tough pill to swallow.

there’s got to be another way, aws should be fun!

That's something I'm still figuring out. In particular, I want plugins that add extra content to pages to be able to collaborate with each other. I have an open issue for that here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1191

I'm not too worried about extra template vars overrides though - that will only be a problem if two plugins accidentally use the same variable name. Maybe I should encourage plugins to use a namespace based on their name in the documentation though.
I read this back and realized my wording wasn’t precise:

Western Europe doesn't have the problems of America's suburbia. You just don't see the solutions because you are trapped in the mindset that cars are ubiquitous and alternatives must therefore be bad.

As I said, it will be interesting how well the American suburbs will be able to function. They function only because of heavily subsidized infrastructure and the poor parts of town are the ones paying.

What about Larry Ellison, CTO of Oracle? Frankly I think Larry Ellison could say any crazy thing he liked, and no one would really care, and he'd stay CTO and chair of Oracle's board. Because C-suite executives get a "free pass" all the time–especially when they combine their C-suite role with a substantial ownership interest in the company (true of both Ellison and Musk). But most C-suite execs, the average person has never heard of them, and so they don't care what they say. Whereas, Musk is a controversial celebrity, so people judge him by rather different standards than the thousands of other near-anonymous CEOs, CTOs and billionaires in the world.
Ordinarily I wouldn't post something like this, and certainly wouldn't edit the title to include words like "insanely", but if you have ever made cast resin parts you would know just how bonkers this is.

TL/DR: I am in awe.

Even just from the detail I can see in the video I'm not sure how they managed to make the master parts they cast the molds off of. I suspect the original parts they're duplicating may actually be machined from metal, because the problem Adam points out that silicone molds deteriorate when used to make castings exists for making the molds off of original (or master) parts as well (though to a lesser degree). And if your master part falls apart from handling while pulling it out of the mold, you're potentially screwed: it might not be repairable, you have to make another identical master part first.

So at the very least you have to either minimize the mold-making failures, and your run of the mill vibration table and vacuum chamber aren't going to cut it as every bubble in the silicone that sticks to the original part is going to produce defects in the cast pieces, you have to be a master at mixing the silicone without introducing air bubbles in the first place (maybe even mixing it in a vacuum), or option 2 is your original master parts have to be really durable with no potential weak spots so you can afford to discard failed molds.

I mean, I made master parts, molds, and cast duplicate parts professionally for a while, and I never even attempted anything as ambitious as this. My brain is tying itself into knots imagining how to get this done. Whoever made this probably invented entirely new techniques along the way, because they certainly didn't cut any corners.

Edited to add: one way to get this done if price was no object is not to necessarily have an original part per-se at all, but to treat making the silicone molds as if you were making injection molded plastic parts, so the "original" is actually two sets of metal molds that each only has one positive surface. Each metal mold set produces one of the two silicon mold halves that is perfectly registered to fit the other. Voila, an unlimited supply of perfect silicone molds with no danger of damaging an original master part. A bonus would be that details like pour and exit channels can be made arbitrarily without introducing more problems except for increasing the cost of the metal master molds. I'm not convinced that's what they did though, because the expense is prohibitive, but it would explain why they would be willing to discard the silicone molds after using them for only twelve times.

Edited again to add: If you're machining mold sets to produce the silicone mold halves, there may not be any need to machine them from metal. Plastic might do, since the curing silicone doesn't get particularly hot (unlike the resin that gets poured into the silicone to make the final parts). That would reduce the cost considerably.
Same for ours.
Fortunately for me, when I attended first PI planning (of 4 teams that have very slight interactions, and I do not care what they are doing and how, I care only that they give me APIs/deliverables) it was the last one.

My manager doesn't insist on me (or any other dev/qa) to attend those.
No Easy/Hard Problem of Consciousness Without Multisensory Integration
This isn’t about terraform, but in other systems I’ve had to put in tombstones to explicitly turn down a service. This allowed for services to exist that weren’t managed by that partition of state while still allowing for the automation to handle turndowns.
I used Google Home for a while, but honestly it was a pretty bad experience as time went on.

I've used Home Assistant[0] for the last 8-9 months. It works great and has support for every device I used with Google Home. It also has bridges so that you can still use Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant for voice commands if you want that. The mobile app is good enough. It isn't as user friendly as Google Home, but it's not terrible and way more powerful.

You can run it on your own hardware, e.g. a NAS or Raspberry Pi, and they also sell purpose made hardware[1]

That sounds logical, but it's not very practical due to the cost of enumeration; plus, it requires providers to gain deep knowledge into things that are implied dependencies ... like "hrmmm, should I try to delete this service-linked role or do I actually need it?"
> The Netherlands has about one car per two people

That is not the relevant metric. The important metric is how many trips does the average dutch take by car that could be taken by some more efficient mode?

Lots of people in European cities have cars but use them only on the weekend. Or they use the car to go to work on the outskirts of the city, but manage to use public transportation when going to a football match for a night out. Lots of families have only one car when in the US it would be only possible to live if each adult had their own car, etc.

> You didn't even remotely address anything I said.

You are right, I didn't. Because to me holding self-driving cars as the panacea that is going to solve the issues in the US is ridiculously naive. It is an illusion created by the corporations that are not interested in actually solving the problem and just want to push out more cars, keep people addicted to broken lifestyles and over-consumption. And is backed by short-sighted technologists that see the world through their nerd lenses and don't stop to think if there are better, lower-tech ways to improve everyone's lives.
Uh yeah? We’re talking about how incandescents have superior light. CFLs are worse than both LEDs and incandescents.
The Leap Motion still does hand tracking better than MediaPipe, and it's still the best hand tracker I know of (besides larger devices like the Oculus Quest).

We've got an open source library for mobile hand-object input [https://portalble.cs.brown.edu/], and the version with Leap Motion is really nice, but doesn't directly work with a phone (we had to pipe data through a compute stick to make it work).

I'd love to see MediaPipe Hands match LeapMotion precision some day, but I'm not even sure if it's possible. A real depth sensor goes a long way.
You’ve probably never disagreed with a moderator, then.
I used to occasionally enjoy wearing my straw cowboy hat while ranching in hot weather. After this clownshow, I'll be leaving that in the closet for a few years. I'm already fat enough to be confused with these pathetic cowardly excuses for police. 20 minutes elapsed between the initial 911 call and the murderer's entry to the school. Some time after that, police arrived, heard gunshots and the terrified screams of young children, and set up a perimeter to exclude parents who were already arriving to personally rescue their own children. Over the next 80 minutes, these walking arguments for smaller government excluded civilian parents with violence and racist insults, while allowing other police officers to enter the school for the sole purpose of rescuing those officers' own children. Over this period, gunshots and terrified screams were heard while children made 911 calls begging rescue for the dwindling number of surviving children. No Anglo officer risked his safety in order to rescue a Latino child.

Finally, 80 minutes after the murderer wrecked his truck, the border patrol showed up, walked into the room occupied by the murderer and the corpses of his young victims, and shot the murderer dead. Then the border patrol supervised the process of parents taking custody of their traumatized children, adding more trauma to the situation by implicitly threatening deportation for the many undocumented families whose children attend this school.

Some Americans imagine we have any standing to tell any other nation anything.

>...all these super visible indicators

I laughed a little at how hard the wording here is trying not to say "The homeless and druggies". Anyway, this explanation might have some grounding in reality but I don't know that it's actually saying anything useful since people and businesses choose remote work for a reason and they choose to displace themselves to embrace it for a reason. There are essentially two components in this scenario. There are the people who leave because want to work remotely and the companies that want to leave to hire remote workers (or move their current workers). The people want to work remotely because of the crime, toxic local culture, and costs. Companies want to leave because of the crime, incompetent governance, and costs. In either case, the fraction of people/businesses leaving because remote work is just so awesome and it's fun to get out and see new places is miniscule.

Tl;dr: People and businesses choose to work remotely for reasons and there's little evidence to show that a primary or even significant motivator of this is simply a desire for a change of scenery. Even if it was, the question still becomes what is the scenery being escaped from.
That’s interesting, one of my important project in university is a card game.

This is a great book indeed. I recommend this too as well as other books by the same author for popsci fans - Fermat's Last Theorem, Big Bang.
Why so snarky? No; because if the goal is repeatable infrastructure, I don't want the bits that are non-repeatable to be silently assumed - you just end up with a cloud-centric version of "it works on my machine".

>systemd was promoted as a init system, but in reality, it is more than that, it is a suite of software; we have journald, firewalld, udevd, logind, networkd, resolved and many more.

Several of the things you mentioned are completely optional. You can use some of the systemd programs but not others. Many distros don't used networkd or resolved for example.

GNU was promoted as an editor. Just because an organization or project expands into multiple different projects doesn't mean that is a bad thing. Does it matter to you that GNU makes 100 different things?

>People forgot how systemd was forced to everybody when Gnome made systemd-logind a hard dependency

This is not an issue with systemd, but Gnome and whoever else. You should complain to them, not the systemd folks. It doesn't make systemd bad or not a useful piece of software.

Gnome only has a limited amount of resources (both developers and money). You can't really expect them to support an alternative. I'm sure if you talked with them they would support an alternative to logind if you were willing to provide enough money. If gnome won't support it then you could pay Gentoo developers and I'm sure they would create additional alternatives like you mentioned with eudev.

Ultimately I think unification of Linux distros is good. It is unfortunate for BSD and whoever else, but when it comes to Linux this is a good thing. I am currently helping a coworker migrate to Linux and trying to explain apt vs yum/dnf vs pacman vs whatver, rpms vs debs vs snaps vs flatpak vs appimage, etc is just tiresome. When they look up how to do something on Linux and it just doesn't work it is a bad experience. Maybe systemd isn't the correct choice, but unifying on one init, network manager, firewall just makes a better experience, especially for new people.
My best guess is that blockchain completely destroyed all the hype surrounding traditional P2P, and things that should be trivial are nonexistent because nobody is excited enough to build them.

The real question is why are torrents still the best P2P system around? Why do we not have something like SyncThing but for mass public sharing?

The other thing that happened is new P2P projects aim to replace the current internet entirely, and don't fully take advantage of the fact we can have cheap centralized servers.

I would love to work on a project like this one day. I've done some proofs of concept for similar things, but making something practical and cross platform is a bit too much for one person.

Lately I've been wondering if true P2P is actually the way to go for a real next gen system, or if we should be getting back to a more refined version of the trackers concept.
It not realistic to expect those who created the problem and have benefited from it to lead the way to the solution. Their "solution" will be a self-serving invitation to unity by obeying them.
It's almost funny seeing almost every comment referencing AWS.

Just another layer of abstraction...
One Game a Month post-mortem (2014)
I recently transitioned one of my scraping projects away from selenium to playwright and I must say that the developer experience is way better, in my opinion.

I also implemented to receive a telegram message with the debug trace in case of errors in my pipeline, so that I could have the entire scraping flow to analyze. That’s pretty neat.

I think three things can be true simultaneously:

* 4Chan can be a pretty rough neighborhood on the Internet

* Neither New York nor DC politicians can do much about it without running smack into 1A issues.

* Reporters love to write "Something must be done!" pieces. And although it's framed as an ownership investigation, this story fits that mold.
Also all the comments are in English!
deletion is more complicated than creation.

what if it’s stateful infrastructure like a db, and contains important state? is it already backed up? would it be expensive to restore? what else aren’t we thinking of.

even in a stateful model, deletion of top level, especially stateful, infrastructure should ALWAYS happen later, and maybe not happen at all.

creation is easy. deletion is it depends.
I haven't really paid attention to that market for quite a while, but when I was actively looking for a job as a junior dev in SF in 2012, I remember being absolutely maddened by patio11's repeated comments the roaring demand for devs. "Anyone who can fizzbuzz" was the phrase I remember him using.

At that time I was junior, but I'd made and published 3 flash games, hacked on the UI of my WP blog quite a bit and made some basic tools with Node.js. I could definitely fizzbuzz, discuss time and space complexity, solve the equivalent of today's easy leetcode questions and more. And yet I saw my savings dwindle towards zero while reading on HN about how easy it was to get a job as a dev.

My feeling is that there's always been a considerable demand for great devs and very little demand for juniors. I've seen companies advertise positions for interns but I honestly can't recall a single time they were advertising roles for junior or entry level devs.
I can't track down the name of this knot, but for ropes that will be under tension the knot I learned when working line service in high school for tying down aircraft has been tremendously useful. [0] is an excellent example of how to tie this knot, it holds tremendous tension while being easy to release. I've found this very useful for camping and general securing of loads.

If anyone knows the 'proper' name for this knot I would greatly appreciate it.
