I'm wondering if we're talking about different things.

If it takes 1 second of CPU time to process the path for 1 package, then it will take 1 million seconds of CPU time to path find 1 million packages. You can add more CPUs to run multiple path finds in parallel (ie, use 4 CPUs to cut the wall time to 250,000 seconds), but there's still 1 million core-seconds being spent.
I've got some experience with a big academic data center - >1 acre floor space, >10MW, ~$100M construction cost. I've also worked for commercial companies of various sizes.

If your compute installation is big enough that payroll is a small fraction of the operating cost, then it's way cheaper than cloud. (that payroll has to include people who actually know how to build and run a huge compute installation)

The problem is that people come in integer units, you need a bunch of them to cover a bunch of different areas of expertise, and the particular ones you need are expensive. If you've got $1M worth of computers, you're almost certainly better off scrapping them and going to cloud, although the folks you're currently paying to run them might disagree. If you have $100M+ worth of machines it's a whole different ballgame; I'm not sure where the exact crossover is.

Note - that's assuming a single data center, and that you're big enough to build your own data center instead of renting colo space. If you need your machines to be geographically dispersed, you'll need to be even bigger before it's cheaper than cloud, and I'm not sure whether you'll ever hit crossover if you're renting colo space.
I’m a big “v2” person. Usually if a product gets a v2 it’s going to be supported for a bit and all of the returned consoles with a broken X have a much better X in V2. But that doesn’t help you if you want to play games now! My kids are still young so I think by the time v2 comes they will be game ready.

You're talking about the first CVE. The second one affects 1.1 too.

There are jobs which force you to use Linux, and SystemD in particular? Where do I sign up?
What's your point with pointing this out without any comment. Are you trying to be snarky?
Nobody trusted Dual_EC_DRBG despite its NIST accreditation. It was always obviously weird to experts, and it wasn't simple and performant enough for non-experts.

The reason it was enabled in some systems is 1. libraries (like openssl and ffmpeg) used to implement and ship every algorithm on Earth for pride reasons 2. NSA bribed RSA BSafe to make it the default.

You don't have a solution for #2.
35 is an exaggeration but Tom Cruise in the new Top Gun, and Brad Pitt in Bullet Train, look closer to 35 than to 60 or 58.

Cruise taped a "thanks to coming to the theaters" thing that ran before Top Gun when I saw it, and it definitely looked about a decade older. Call it 50, while his character looked 40, and he's actually 60. I found it useful to calibrate my guess around how much was due to makeup and movie magic, and how much due to skincare and surgery.
It doesn't help that so many tools are like "give me your secret key in plain text in the config file" without at least offering a link to a webpage on the github of how you could secure your keys and use this software
I think he means:

1. Have a root node R with 20 comments at varying depths
2. Be reading comment 12, 4-5 layers deep
3. Realize you don't like the entire direction this thread,
rooted in node R, is going, try to skip ahead to the next
thread in case it's more interesting
4. Today, you have to click parent 2-3 times, or just page up,
then collapse the whole thread

I find myself doing this fairly frequently, too. The existing tools are nice, but it's not that infrequent that I decide the car crash I was initially interested in is not, in fact, a good basis for discussion; at that point I want to see if the next root node has anything good.
Not the original poster, but if it's what I'm thinking it is: You're reading down a long thread and you've decided you want to stop reading and go on to the next thread. You have to scroll back up to the top most comment for that thread in the post to collapse it.

It would be handy to have a way to collapse from the top most comment easily from wherever you've scrolled down into the guts of the thread.
But they're not billing on the basis of how much it technically costs them to provide these services. If we had a competitive ecosystem then we would expect Apple's prices for payment processing to be at least within an order of magnitude of (for example) Stripe's.

Of course security screening is expensive, but it's also not that expensive (e.g. a typical software company might have a 10-30% profit margin, so in some cases apple accounts for roughly half the operational expenses of a company – i.e. the company pays as much, or more, money to apple as it does to its entire payroll)
Bear in mind that some of your more elderly relos might have heart related hardware that might be damaged by a strong magnetic field. Luckily ... inverse squared law. You are probably safe if you recommend that granddad (1) doesn't rub his chest on your fridge.

I have loads of the bloody things - I dismantled a Equallogic PS6something that had 30 odd discs in it for recycling the other day. I, sorry: "we" still have four more old Eqls and a stack of discs removed from old PCs. You can break the case of a 3.5" disc with a lump hammer and cold chisel and then unscrew or break out the magnets quite quickly. I need to look into breaking a 2.5" disc. You could speed things up with a bandsaw with a suitable blade and a careful cut.

(1) I'm called Granddad by two little girls, so let's ditch the ageist bollocks (po faced emoji). How about great granddad instead! My dad does sport a heart restart device (I can't remember the name) and it is probably not going to work very well after close contact with a neodymium magnet that nearly tore off one of my fingernails - OK I nearly did the tearing but it was the vice that did the holding with my fridge.

All these abuses have a single cause - users not in control of their computers. It's no coincidence that vim's start screen isn't being monetized this way.
The incentives are such that if you can figure it out you can basically create money out of nothing. So there will always be people that are looking for it to succeed. It's alchemy. It all breaks down if the floater goes to zero or a price such that you can't mint enough to stabilize the coin. And on a long enough time span this is bound to happen.

The stable coin can never go above its target value, but it can go below. So you're essentially holding value and then getting wiped out every N years or so. So it's doomed to fail
One thing I've noticed is that almost all new web frameworks I come across nowadays seems to be catered towards search engine optimization (i.e.: getting 99/100 on Google PageSpeed Insights).
The current implementation of market economy i.e. capitalism is growth dependent. It is entirely plausible that cities follow the same growth dependence strategy the rest of the economy follows.

I understand the sentiment, but can't you imagine that advances in our understanding of fundamental physics could lead to advances in some of the areas that you mention? For example, new particles -> better models of chemistry -> better cancer drugs; or new particles -> better fusion models -> cleaner energy.
This looks like a good first contribution.

hostnamectl DOES talk to sd_dbus, which DOES require systemd, which DOES require being PID1, and this message only pops up if you're in a container without the full subsystem running, access to the right cgroups, etc.

The naming is simply part of how dbus structures things, not to say that it's not part of it. I'm sure that, in retrospect, they wish they would have used "org.systemd...", but hindsight is 20/20.

If there's a scenario other than container without the right mounts/etc where this can come up, you should file a bug. If there isn't, you could see if you can submit a patch to improve the message.

It's not an indication that systemd confuses concepts. Its can indication that a) dbus is kinda shit, and b) I doubt if the systemd mapped out hypothetical dbus names 5 years in the future.

> The devil is in the details and honestly Terra was run incompetently and for greed rather than as a true professional endeavor.

If the market can't discern honest players from the criminals, then how will an honest attempt at these coins ever succeed? The problem is that we don't know that they're criminals until they've gone under, and there's no due diligence or oversight to verify that they're legit because that would be antithetical to the entire system.

It would be like continuing to drop a little money in every single altcoin that hits r/cryptomoonshots because at least one of those people has to be honest, right?

If being trustless is central to the technology, then we have no idea if what we're putting our money into is legit or not and that's a fundamental problem with this stuff. The system rewards bad behavior, plain and simple. As long as that's true, I don't see how honest people gain enough influence to actually achieve the vision that the community realizes.
You have email addresses I believe. You could spam billions of chinese people with some scheme. It doesn't have to be believable, but you can bet out of billions of people you will capture some naive or mentally ill people who will fall for your scam and potentially allow you to clear them out of everything they have.
Would want to be more accurate than than the current tech. Mine regularly gets confused near motorway off ramps and drops speed from 120 to 50.

Implementing a max speed of 120 would be good though. It’s never legal to exceed that so why does the car allow it?
I wish I could take credit, but back while I was waiting for my preorder I really wanted to try out the new UI and found the instructions originally here on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t57l4t/how_to_ge... but if I had to guess how it was found, someone probably just checked that file on a steam deck or from it's recovery image image.

That file normally contains the name of the client beta you're currently opted into in Steam's settings (normally only "publicbeta" is the only public option) so it's probably the first place someone checked.
Congrats Jarred :) It's been fun watching you build this over the last year on Twitter. Cheers to much success
How does the OP define “good” web apps? Apps that are pleasant to use? Apps that solve a problem?
I haven't used a car with one of the speed systems so I don't really know enough to judge hope reliable it is, which is an important factor in evaluating it.

I do disagree with your justifications though. To start with for indicators it is true that sometimes they aren't necessary, in fact with everyone driving appropriately they shouldn't ever be needed to avoid crashes. However people are pretty bad at judging their abilities and habits are a pretty strong effect. So sometimes you mess up your observations but then if you indicate anyway the other road users are more able to fix your mistake. Also by indicating every time you build the habit and are much less likely to forget to indicate when you should.

It is fun trying to come up with situations where speeding up to avoid a collision is needed but in practice this is really dangerous. If you brake to avoid a collision then if the avoidance fails the result is less bad. Any cases where braking isn't going to let you avoid a collision must be situations where you have very little time to react since cars can change speed more rapidly by braking (limited by traction in any vaguely modern car). So the situations where you need to speed to avoid a collision are ones with very little time to process, where you have one known bad road user (since otherwise you wouldn't be at risk of a collision). Bad road users are unpredictable. All these factors make it really dangerous to accelerate into a hazardous situation. Instead you should train yourself to drive defensively and react to road dangers by braking as a first response. Again it is best to build a habit since you have very little time to evaluate and react to these situations.

I agree with you about the shoddy drivers, I don't drive a large amount so I'm aware that my driving skills aren't super high. Because of this I consciously drive defensively, don't drive fast to give more reaction time, leave a larger gap to other vehicles. Having lots of shoddy drivers is a great reason to have speed limiting technology because most of them overestimate their skill and speed. In the UK a large majority of drivers regularly speed and this has a pretty direct link to increased injuries and deaths.

That’s where the hemispherical magnifying glass comes in. It comes with the dictionary, which is a large tome.

From the description on Amazon:

Now comes the Compact Edition of OED II, which captures all the wealth of scholarship found in the original edition in just one volume. The Compact is not an abridgement, but a direct photoreduction of the entire 20-volume set, with nine pages of the original on every nine-by-twelve page of the Compact (a magnifying glass comes with it). As in the Second Edition, the Compact combines in one alphabetical sequence the sixteen volumes of the first OED and the four Supplements--plus an extra five thousand new words to bring this monumental dictionary completely up to date.

There are suburbs in, not outside my city and they look nothing like American suburbs. The mixed zoning alone makes up a huge difference. The plot sizes are much smaller and the density is higher.
Random guess? Maybe N employees, paid $5-10bn per year. Maybe $5-10bn in all the other expenses.

In 2020 Apple made $60bn from the AppStore.

Apple makes outrageous amounts of money from first mover advantage and a humongous moat but I guess we're ok with that.
> You aren't being asked to trust NIST in any meaningful way

I understand that neither NIST nor NSA have designed these schemes, but isn't NIST the organization who picked these winning schemes after all? That's the impression I got, and my history of trusting what NIST picks, isn't the greatest, so I'd like to avoid that. I also understand that countless of people have reviewed the schemes as well, people from all around the world with different types of experience. It's still hard to shake off something that essentially boils down to a feeling: "trust".

Thank you for providing some alternatives in your final paragraph, for the uneducated plebs like myself.
In my experience 1 instance of a false positive is enough to get people to circumvent the system (going by how the seatbelts in our current car are always plugged in, with or without passengers, to avoid random warnings). Turns out it's quite annoying (and possibly dangerous) to drive with random sudden beeping.

I still don't know what point you're trying to make though. To me this is like if you said "in a hypothetical sense planes are fine because you can buy a private jet, but in practice it's a pain because you know I have to fly in a crowded coach seat". Like, ok, sure, that's technically true, but still no one is going to donate you a private jet. If you had another hypothetical replacement and you could afford to spend all this time switching the company servers over and training everyone else to use it then maybe you could do something, but you don't, and the systemd developers could not help you with that even if they wanted to. What do you want anyone to do about it?
I would compare this to asking a dev team to support a big code base without embarking on a major redesign or re-engineering.

It's hard to keep a good (confident, ambitious) team from re-engineering. All the same dynamics apply: In your mind the disadvantages of change are small because you don't know them, but the advantages are large because you planned them. Making change gives you more control over your fate because you are executing your own plan as opposed to staying the course. Finally, how do you keep people motivated to show up every morning if you don't have a vision for change in the future?

I don't think its that different for managers and engineers. There's a lot pushing people to try something, even if the objective odds of success aren't great.
That is really interesting. In my town, to see Jurassic World tomorrow (Wed) at 20:30 in the UK is £13 per adult. This includes a mostly empty cinema, a terrible seat, 10-20 minutes of adverts for viewing start time and £6 for a large pepsi max.

So minus the pepsi, it is $31.09USD for 2 adults.

Even if I reached out to my admittedly few dozen facebook family from 16-90 year old and said I sorted all them out for $1 a film. No one would go. I mean maybe 1-2 people would go but even then I'd be mind blown.
This isn't the point – the point is that because Apple has a monopolistic position they are not forced to compete and provide better service.
> Cars should not be able to exceed 90mph unless you have a special license for the track.

People driving on racetracks do not necessarily have licenses. They neither necessarily have a license to drive a car on the road, nor do they necessarily have sanctioned racing licenses.

Even if this suggestion did make sense, we have no mechanism to enforce it. People in the US drive without valid licenses all of the time. The car has no idea if you have a license at all, let alone which ones.
> However if you never turn on "cruise control", the feature is nothing but an easy to ignore red symbol on your HUD.

So I drove a rental car that had this feature enabled and I found it not only infuriating but distracting as well.

It didn't help that it would come on at the worst possible times. Like when I was driving and had to change lanes to pass someone or let another car in. This is exactly the time where I want to be completely focused on what I'm doing and instead I have a notification on my dash going `ding! you went 5kph` over the speed limit.
Things like systemd suffer from the xkcd traffic engineer syndrome:

https://xkcd.com/277/

Same thing with cars that were designed in the 1960s before we had to worry about things like emissions and crash safety.

Sysvinit is great up until you have a use case that it winds up sucking for. Most people don't hit that problem, or don't realize that their high level problem (correctly handling something being hotswapped probably) requires better integration than that.

They're also pissing and moaning without any solution that addresses all the requirements, and just use "Desktop" and "Enterprise" like they're slurs rather than what should be tablestakes.

And I wrote some truly awful code 10 years ago dealing with an abstraction layer built over the dozen different service managers than existed back then (upstart, runit, etc, etc). I'm quite happy that my code turned out to all be ultimately quite useless overdesign in retrospect and systemd just took over everything. It was a mess back then.
The best UI is the one that doesn't make its users change their habits.

Canonical and Apple should take note.
Honestly, if this is how it's implemented in every car (the article just vaguely says that some cars slow down automatically, without specifying how easy it is to override), then this is a surprisingly reasonable implementation. (Surprising, because politicians, especially in Europe, tend to go for reality-ignoring nanny-state solutions nowadays).

I think doing it in a way that's respectful of the owner is a good way to do it in the long term. It gets most of the benefit, and by not creating a "us vs. them" mentality, it avoids both political backlash that makes future regulations (including sensible ones) hard, and the backlash effect that causes people to behave in undesirable ways out of spite/defiance (think "coal rolling").

Edit: It seems (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31994739) like they explicitly mandated putting the driver in control. Bravo!
I will just add that I was a much better parent when I only had 2.

> Here in the U.S., at least, what has widely been maligned as "COVID denialism" was actually a deeper and more nuanced conversation about whether sudden, sweeping changes to society would prevent more harm than they cause.

> And now looking at outcomes across different states (e.g. Florida vs. California)--and considering ALL outcomes (public health, homelessness, unemployment, substance abuse, mental health, truancy, graduation rates, violent crime)--it's indeed unclear that draconian policies in the name of public health were a net positive.

Why are we drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of Covid safety protocols based on the failed half-measures taken by America? We have a plethora of working examples to study from the Asia-Pacific region: Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and China all eradicated Covid pre-Omicron.

> But there seems to be little introspection from those who propose sweeping policy change about the need to consider second-order effects on those whose lives and livelihoods will be upturned.

Equally, there seems to be little introspection amongst American libertarians about the role their own society’s dysfunction might be playing in shaping their personal beliefs.
This is a great point. You could probably sum up Apple’s strategy as “capture the most lucrative market through initial quality/vanity, learn more about it than anyone else, then ring-fence it and protect it.”

They aren’t a monopoly as long as you don’t consider income demographics.
The joke being that the Toblerone bar has a mountain based on the Matterhorn as it’s logo. Either that, or someone very dedicated to Toblerone chocolate created the world’s largest advertisement in the Alps. That would be quite the story. If so, they forgot the bear.
