Yes. I'm on macOS, and our stack is Node.js + Postgres + Hasura.

I use Homebrew for Postgres where IME the version doesn't tend to matter too much as long as it's new enough.

Node is managed using either nodenv or asdf which both allow you to install multiple versions side-by-side and control which one runs in a given directory using a .node-version file containing the desired version number (I use asdf, most of my colleagues use nodenv - they're compatible with each other).

Hasura is the only one that's a bit of a pain as they don't provide native binaries at all (only a docker image). So we compile that from source. They do at least provide comprehensive instructions (https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/server/...), and I didn't have too much trouble even though I'd never used Haskell before.

The sub-second restarts are totally worth it!
No, the main difference from the past is that we have been taking fossil fuels out of the earth and burning it for the last 200 years, and releasing in that very short time the CO₂ that has been stored in them for many millions of years. This is much more than the amount of CO₂ that the environment's carbon sinks can bind and so we are warming the environment, and at a very fast pace.

Like you say, the CO₂ we breathe "comes from the air". Specifically, that CO₂, like the carbon gasses released by farming and agriculture, is part of the atmospheric carbon cycle that circulates carbon gasses between the biosphere and the atmosphere. This cycle is stable, it has been stable for millions of years and it has never caused a greenhouse effect, neither is there any risk that it will cause a greenhouse effect, now or in the future. There is certainly no chance that the CO₂ we exhale will cause the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere to shift, because that's where we get our carbon in the first place.

The internal combustion engine on the other hand, efficient or not, is burning fossil fuels and is a primary driver of release of the CO₂ bound in fossil fuels, to the environment. This is a major mechanism of climate change.

That having been cleared up, you're making a weird argument that is very difficult to support. If I understand correctly your earlier comment that I quoted, you're saying that living, in summary, without burning fossil fuels, is not less sustainable than living while burning fossil fuels. You 're saying that this is because the internal combustion engine is efficient. You mean that it makes good use of the fuel it burns, but its fuel cannot be easily replaced (because it takes billions of years for it to be created by natural processes that we can't replicate at scale) and burning it is causing a greenhouse effect and climate change.

So, no, it doesn't make any sense that living without burning fossil fuels, without combustion engines, without all the trappings of modern life, is not more sustainable than living with them. We can discuss the benefits and risks of either way of life (I'm not keen to return at a pre-industrial time myself) but it is abundantly clear which way of life is sustainable, and which isn't. And that's not "more sustainable". Burning fossil fuels is just not sustainable anyway you cut it.

Tetragon – Kubernetes eBPF-Based Security
Kind of like a distributed league of entropy? Seems a bit impractical and overkill, but also extremely awesome.

Maybe we could somehow get a Bluetooth broadcast data manufacturer code reserved for just spewing randomness.

Not at all secure, but if you mix it with a good mixer it can't hurt, and it can't be hacked by anyone out of state, or out of the 800ft range if they lack a giant antenna.

Maybe a really simple network random protocol could be defined. Just a UDP packet where you send N bytes of entropy, the receiver mixes it in their state, and sends you back N bytes. Randomly once every 60 minutes you multicast 32 bytes.

I'd prefer as few americium sources around as absolutely needed for fire safety though, but maybe it's better than where they normally go(The trash, I'd imagine, whether or not that's legal). Maybe half silvered mirrors and avalanche diodes?

Raw unprocessed live quantum bits as a service are pretty cool for non-security related things too.
I was hoping the “nerd” aspect referred to an emphasis on theoretical aspects (less charitably called “broscience”). I assume a lot of other HN commenters like me tended to research and study fitness when first diving into it.

The article has some good information, but I was disappointed in the execution. As disappointed as when George from Stranger Things caught his best friend Mark kissing his crush Ellie after they’ve killed a monster while listening to A-Ha (I assume that’s what usually happens on the show).

Although Tailwind won't target those descendant elements for you, it doesn't block your ability to do so. We found that 95% of our CSS goes away, the remaining 5% is still there with complex selectors and/or CSS settings that aren't in Tailwind. That remaining small amount is far easier to deal with.

I also started out thinking the whole idea seemed backward. Now I think of it this way: it works extremely well in practice, even if in theory it won't.
For broadband white-noise I really like to utilize the avalanche breakdown noise which you can get from reverse biased zener diodes.

I didn't use it for TRNG but for measurement and it really gives you a nice straight noise spectrum from 10Hz to above 100kHz.

and the more fake reviews, the less I trust them. Likewise, the more people here advertising their products without proper disclosure, the less I'll trust the honesty of the posts. So imo it's in the interest of the community to encourage proper disclosure, so that a certain level of trust is maintained.

> How machines are put in as an intermediary to shield the humans behind the curtain from accusations of inhumanity. I think it may mirror systems in general. Where any large enough organization of people takes on a mind of it's own, and thereby becomes more ruthless and less human than any of the individuals making it function.

You've described the essence of a bureaucracy, an organisational structure where in normal circumstances the humans themselves don't make decisions, processes do.

Occasionally a human might 'update' a process retroactively like a programmer fixing a bug, but nominally the system is automated and entirely rational, mechanistic, 'efficient'.

The incorporation of computers can make this easier and more scalable, but it's not a necessary condition.
Hello Crazy World
I checked and my DNS is not leaked through the VPN. Even if it was, how could that result in such an accurate localisation?
True, though I know a few families that were ruined by this path. Things like your house can often end up becoming leverage because you are afraid to lose the lifestyle you are used to, and it's easy to take your eyes of the road when it has started to seem monotonous.
This would make sense, thank you. Apparently Chrome has something similar?
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.
Often! I live in Somerville MA, and most of the housing units here are apartments, almost all built this way (including ours). The most common style is two or three apartments stacked vertically in a freestanding structure.

Indeed, the 3D cube effect is inspired by Xgl or Looking Glass and the like... But from an abstract point of view it feels like the kind of things Enlightenment did around the year 2000: You could have windows zooming in and out, swooshing from left to right, accompanied by matching sounds and graphical effects like jelly or bursting in flames.

It was totally fun and awesome, especially when compared to Windows 9x at the time, and everyone used it as showcase on how cool a Linux desktop is compared to Windows. But then again, to actually work with the computer, they switched back to FVWM, KDE, or whatever "boring normal" window manager they had.

Still, it's a cool showcase for what a compositor with some added shaders can do
Never said that it disqualifies a concept. Just stating that there might be something else, give my anecdote. And given amount of upvotes on my comment, I'm not the only one.

I’d say it depends upon the era. Some older cases are amazing, and other less so. If we’re talking specifically about mid-90s, super cheap, beige towers… other than my nostalgia; yes, they are complete garbage.
Phoenix now has sqlite3 as an option when running phx.new. I just played with it yesterday to also checkout litespeed syncing the database to backblaze. It was very easy to setup and test by running phx.gen.auth and monitoring the data being synced to b2. There is a blog post about running SQLite in dev and Postgres in production using Phoenix, much like rails does. It’s worth spending a few minutes checking it all out. I have a project in mind where I think it would be a good fit.
It doesn't help that the fluff is inaccurate.

I guess at the end of the day, a particular generation of men (graduating from late 00's - ?) were fucked over hard at a particularly vulnerable time in their lives by groups pushing for gender equality.

Regardless of how "natural" it is for STEM to be gendered to the extent that it is (and from what I've heard, giving women more autonomy _reduces_ the likelihood they'll pursue STEM), you're always going to face opposition from this group because we have experienced the real-world policies that this type of thinking leads to.

I guess it's like eugenics. The fact that it may or may be true is beside the point - that train of thought leads people to justify actions that are simply destructive.

From Chrome it works. but that's about it. Zoom and Teams client cannot share screen. Some previous versions it worked on Zoom, but not currently. Also my CPU usage goes up the roof when I am on video calls. So if I started a call on Zoom client, and want to share my screen I have to reconnect via browser.

The question of whether AIs really do "feel" (what you seem to be addressing, through the "psychopathy patient" reference and talk of sentience) is interesting, but is it where we draw the line? Data in Star Trek can't feel, or even laugh, but he comes to be seen as a person. If we set aside the unsolved problems in robotics, embodied AI, etc; aren't we already "there" when it comes to Data's mind? If so, then AIs are conscious.

Data passed Picard's "consciousness" test by expressing awareness that he was in a hearing regarding his personhood, and explaining what the consequences of that hearing could be for him. Isn't LaMDA already there?

Turing isn't a test for consciousness. The tests we apply to animals (can they recognize themselves in a mirror? can they understand their surroundings well enough to solve puzzles like crows?) are very solvable problems in AI. To me the real question is: once AI can do all those things, how can we justify calling them unconscious? A "hunch"? No matter what test of consciousness we come up with, AIs can be programmed (or learn on their own) to solve.

That's where I thought author was going -- that computers by default have no values.

That is, rather than being ruthless, their primary characteristic is ambivalence. They don't care about anything unless specifically programmed to care.

And most of the worst features of computing in practice stem from this.

The unresponsive GUI, because a background process has stalled it. The "end user shall have no ability to program except via Excel" corporate devices, because IT has only programmed in security values. The Windows update that forced a restart and closed without saving work in progress. (And yes, I'm ignoring the complexities of user-primacy on computing behavior to make a clearer point)

And it feels like we're getting better at this and prioritizing user desire / action over other computing tasks. But article was an excellent reminder that there is no default compassion... save what we program in.
The reasoning is supposed to be statistical, so your counterpoint "why do people in areas without electricity become myopic" doesn't even make sense. A proper counterpoint would be "people in areas without electricity have the same chance of being myopic as people in areas with electricity", and well, data seems pretty clear they don't.
It can take a lot of work just being a self-made thousandaire.

The vast majority of computers were commodity boxes that are extremely well documented, emulated, and the ones that exist today are in private collections.

The interesting stuff is also being held by private collectors in large amounts.

Around 2000-2010, a lot of the interesting 80s and 90s stuff started becoming cheap and was snapped up by any interested party, the rest was landfilled. If you are getting into this now, you are too late - hit up ebay and pay inflated prices.

Speaking of landfills, most of those computers had RTC on board, and were powered by batteries, which tend to explode and "rot" away the board. It's likely very few of them will be salvageable in an easy-to-repair way if they sit for another 20 years.
family owned businesses usually are asset rich, "rarely" cashflow/cash rich (when they are they tend to increase a lot good/bad capital expenditure and lifestyle , as decisions are shared). Two different things. Culture in a co-owned business is often more rewarding /enjoyable/ flexible (not often a good choice) than being an employee or a funded entrepreneur. Passing the torch is also a big factor of personal pride. Economically is probably not often that smart as skills are not usually transferable. Better to build a career base outside and join later or biuld a trade inside (management skills also if medium enterprise). At least this is my experience as 3rd generation "small" business heir in europe.

Semi-related, I know of several people in the mechanical keyboard community who are constantly hunting for keyboards from the 70s, 80s, 90s. In some cases the switches alone can be worth $10-20+ each to dedicated collectors, not to mention Cherry keycaps that are compatible with modern mechanical keyboard builds.

I am also curious on if there are any relics of computing history just sitting there in landfill. Ultimately as a society I do think moving towards devices that can almost entirely be recycled is the only responsible way forwards.
Nice. Should be worth around 70 million now after all the splits if you never sold any of the shares. And you would also be making over half a mil every year just on dividends.

Wish they wouldn't. The keyboards are part of a set, including the computer itself, and many of those computers require those keyboards.

> The main gripe I have is that the software is still priced too high

Many plugins are crazy expensive, but you don't have to buy them to make music. Vital (synth) is free, VCV (virtual modular) is free, Cardinal (VCV as VST) is free. Reaper (DAW) is $60 (one time payment) and comes with every mixing plugin you'll ever need, plus an immense library of other free ones, plus the ability to code your own.

I'm slowly recovering from GAS [0] myself; in many cases, having fewer plugins helps music making and does not hinder it, because it's better to know some tools inside and out than know many superficially, and it's also better to spend less time choosing a tool and more time using it.

Maybe this can end the absolute insanity of packages that say "Put this somewhere and add it to your path, in this suggested way that is hard to automate and only works with one shell" somehow becoming popular again.

If we could just all.agree that ~/.local/bin should be a thing, and ~/opt too, stuff might be a bit more repeatable. Modifying a global config to make a specific program work is a common Linuxy antipattern.

Fun fact, earliy versions of lemmy were using my open source image hosting and postprocesing cdn (with S3,NFS,ftp.. storage) PictShare[1] until the devs raised an issue[2] about a huge memory leak when resizing this[3] 10mb PNG file which caused the memory to raise over 1.5 gigabytes and basically crashed the backend.

So they ditched PictShare and wrote their own tool[4] only to realize it has the exact same problem because of the way some PNG files are stored basically any resize operation causes huge RAM spikes no matter which software or implementation is used.

> So the question then becomes, who controls them and how sophisticated they (the computers) become...

There's also unexplored (by article) concept of inadvertent or emergent control.

E.g. Dept A encodes Rule 1 and Dept B independently encodes Rule 2, yet applied together Rule 1 and 2 produce an unexpected outcome. In which case, neither Dept A or Dept B (the ostensible controllers) could be said to actually control the outcome.

What syntax is in grep that you miss from ripgrep?

Anyway, there are a lot of different ways to interpret the OP here. Honing in on "use the same regex syntax as grep" seems strange. Maybe they just mean: if you want to see how man pages are produced in Rust programs, then take a look at how these programs do it. Rather than something about the specific content that should go in it.

Notice also that the OP started this thought with "alternative to coreutils" program. Rather than a "clone of a coreutils program."

Netflix Cofounder Mark Randolph Has Done a Reddit AMA
Because cheap labour from the EU, an area of the world generally richer than the UK minus London, was mostly a marginal phenomenon that didn’t have an impact on the lives of the British workers. EU citizens earn more than the locals and are generally younger and better educated, so they finance public services without actually using them as much as the locals.

The entire UK depends on fiscal transfers from London, which is the only part of the country that is fully developed. So what benefits London, benefits the job center material complaining about foreigners in the barbaricum (which is the UK minus London).
that is the spirit of the paper, and the answer is a resounding “no, not even close!”
