Pretty much none. I used Word 97 well into the early 2000's. In the early 90's, my Amiga ran a decent word processor in 1 meg of RAM. Software expands to consume whatever resources are available: memory, disk, CPU, bandwidth...

If a user stops paying (excepting free service for those unable to pay), will their repositories be deleted? My main concern is link rot: if a project was created on GitHub in 2012, links to it will almost certainly point to the same code today, even if the owner has long forgotten about it, so long as they haven't actively deleted their account. I've found that the same is rarely true for bespoke self-hosted Git servers. Many disappear within 3 years or less, without any redirects to a new location; I've had to copy many of these repos to my GitHub account from a local copy. So how worried do I need to be about the longevity of sr.ht links?
As far as you can remember. Your blood alcohol level was 0.15 by the time you boarded, according to the police report (joke! I don’t know PP).
Slightly different reasons, but I'm seeing something similar in New Zealand.

Domestic companies benchmark against each other, and pay lower salaries. Meanwhile Australian companies have mostly come to terms with remote work after the lockdowns, which makes NZ as a valuable recruitment market. (If an engineer can be productive a 30m drive from their Sydney office, they can probably be productive a 3h flight too, especially if they're in a country with very similar laws, culture, educational system, etc.)

And since they benchmark against each other and because NZ is so small, close, and similar, Australian firms mostly don't adjust their salary bands from (higher) Australian norms, so they pay 25-30% more for comparable roles than a domestic NZ company would. Meanwhile a few American companies are also starting to recruit, and again, most don't adjust their salary bands, and so generally pay 50-80% more than domestic NZ companies.

It's an odd situation; I recently jumped from a NZ company to an Australian one (mostly for non-monetary reasons), but got a more than 25% raise, and when I resigned, my manager was quite open that yes, management is aware that Australian companies are paying more than local companies but as long as other NZ companies aren't competing, they don't feel like they can afford to either.

I'll be fascinated to see how this works out.
Two reasons.

If you don’t make an effort to try smaller company’s products, you’re going to be biased towards bigger companies by virtue of them having better marketing and network effects. Some conscious preference to smaller companies can help counteract this.

And even if the smaller company has a worse product initially, some people using it anyways can help keep them alive in order to fund innovation. Smaller companies tend to be more willing to experiment or innovate, but that can’t happen if no one is willing to make a long-term bet.
Even within github, everyone ignores dependabot updates. Until the security team comes prodding about serious vulnerabilities, no one bats an eye.
Once they have you off the plane it is, in practice, totally up to them whether and how much and in what specie to pay you. This isn't true of general counterparties but airlines have so many legal "protections" they could muddy the water to the point you'd never come out ahead.

That's not to say taking the offer would be a bad idea; just because your expected value isn't nearly $10k doesn't mean it's 0 either.
One thing that always irked me when it came to configurations is that a device is advertised as "starting at $599" but has a bunch of specs like "Up to I9, 64gb of ram, etc.). I understand from a marketing perspective, but it is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to these websites.
> A lot of dating books recommend getting really specific about what you want

Also, from my personal experience, what you want is going to change over time. And even if someone checks your boxes today, they’re unlikely to be that same person in 10 years.

Being a parent changed me a lot (hopefully for the better) and 20s me, 30s me, 40s me are all pretty different guys in terms of priorities, willingness to listen to others, etc.

I echo other comments and say the priority is having a communication channel and the willingness to adapt.
> If the code had a license that forbid reupload you could ask GitHub to remove it.

Licenses don't need to forbid re-upload generally to be incompatible with GitHub. Given that uploading to GitHub, according to someone quoted on page 1 of this discussion, grants GitHub the right to use that code to "improve their service" (whatever that means -- maybe Copilot?), not explicitly granting that right to them, or the right for someone else to grant it to them, is enough to make them not allow uploading to GitHub.

So that should be more like: "If the code had a license that didn't specifically allow Microsoft to use it to 'improve the GitHub service' you could order GitHub to remove it."
Good example. "Another yak to shave" is a great analogy too. I think we are saying the same thing: we don't want to learn anything that has no direct bearing on our problems. Learning how to design an infinitely scalable metadata service for a stateful service is a delight. Learning how to use Terraform is an abomination.
It's called "negging", and manipulators use this tactic all the time. Most commonly against women. Gross is an understatement for this breed of human.

You had said “not built” and now you’re weaseling out of it.

Both the constructed Gen III and yet to be built Gen IV reactors represent design improvements you claimed never materialized in an earlier post.
In the late 90's, you would've been forced to have a smaller set of dependencies, both out of necessity and because they didn't exist. In the early Java apps I worked on, we downloaded all the dependencies manually, generally from a shared drive or CVS repo, and put them in our classpath.
To be clear, I'm not claiming that any particular implementation of PoS is vulnerable to this exact attack. It's an illustrative example of one class of attack that is a danger on PoS chains but not PoW chains, and might help people intuit why PoS implementations are more complex.

Coming back down to earth, this is why ETH requires checkpoints[1], but PoW chains do not[2].

I’m going to provide you with some horrible advice. Please don’t take it.

Date married men.

There are a huge number of married men in my social group who want to have kids, but their spouse is unable or unwilling. These men sound just as forlorn as you.

One finally divorced his wife and is engaged to a woman with two young sons. I’ve never seen him as happy.

I’d estimate that 10% of my married male friends are in this circumstance. Half are deeply committed to their wives, but the other half could be swayed by the opportunity for a family. Those 10% of men, are significantly better catches than any of my still unmarried friends.

My unmarried friends have mental illness, drug/alcohol addiction, or… both. One has a significant physical disability. It’s a horrible pool to date from.

Again, disregard my advice.. but that’s what I’d do if I were you.
I still find the whole subject so frustrating. Being a backend developer that has since out of necessity had to transfer to being a frontend-architect for a team of confused React developers, I'm struck with how the momentum of frontend development quickly leads to very complex state machines. Backend development hasn't tended to require this - you query information, perhaps you transform it, you return it. But with frontend state machines, you've got things that feel like global state sitting all over the place.

If the logged-in user is this or that and/or the component state is this or that then do this unless that, and if this part of the component changes/re-renders to be that, then refigure the entire state all over again so this or that can be adjusted if necessary...

I mean, I get it, basically any GUI is going to have matters like this. And I get that the idea is to work really hard to limit the contract of each sub-component so that it can feel pure and only be dependent on a limited number of parameters/properties coming in. After all, on the backend it's also easy for a bad programmer to write a function/method that accepts forty parameters and has horrendously complex logic inside.

But in practice, something about the product cycle and the feature cycle of React just makes it so easy to turn into a huge snarl really fast. I feel like I'm battling against the tide. Maybe it's just something specific to our team and I need everyone to just freeze until we get some better practices in place.
Somewhere around 1998 or 1999 I was working as a web developer and I listened to a pitch from a guy who wanted to build a video streaming site. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out who was going to pay a subscription to watch grainy, postage-stamp sized videos in a web browser, but apparently that sort of thing took off.
I use the word 'ideological' all the time here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). Your comment got me thinking about what I mean by it.

I guess I mean something like: a fixed cluster of ideas that people apply to quickly make good/bad judgments, often accompanied by strong emotions.

Ideology tends to be generic (the same ideology gets applied to lots of things), predictable (a fixed idea lets one know where one stands in a predictable way), emotional (the need to know this is strongest on high-stakes issues), and binary (each ideology organizes itself in opposition to an opposing one).

I use the term in moderation comments because these qualities are bad for HN discussion. The 'fixed' aspect makes discussion predictable, the 'generic' aspect makes it shallow, and the binary/emotional aspect makes it inflammatory. A bad trifecta for curious conversation.
Again, I am not saying this isn't the right way or that you are doing anything wrong. I just think that if we are asking people giving away their code for free to do a migration and learn another tool for the greater good, for free, and before that they also have to put in their credit card number and pay their own money... people won't do that, righteous as it may be.

A call for action is all the more effective if that action is easy. The Software Freedom Conservancy's call has a lot of background but if the proposed action is "host it yourself" or "pay money for SourceHut", I worry that we will not move forward.
The thing is, I’ve said this about many many people that eventually sold out.

I wouldn’t trust anyone that claimed it, not even myself.

Chaitin's constant (which is actually a family of constants, one that exists for each programming language) is not computable.

It's the probability of a randomly generated program halting. One can imagine it being of interest, at least among theorists.

That said, I struggle to think of other useful non-computable numbers, save contrived examples.

I'm surprised by this take. C++ requires you to duplicate signatures in header files, which that alone requires a good degree of boilerplate. Modern C++ offers some tools to be more terse such as keywords like auto, but often times the "proper" way of doing things is the more verbose way. This is a bit of a strawman, but

>Dating apps tend to have two attachment styles - anxious attached, avoidant (majority for the men on these apps).

Can you expand on and provide a source for this?
>When you say "this is what guys care about", I think you're talking about a specific and very surface-level kind of person who wants a superficially compatible woma

No, it's not specific; it's very wide and applicable to a large majority of guys. Also, there is no such thing as "superficially compatible"; either you are compatible and can develop the relationship into more, or you are not compatible and are only pretending you actually like to be around eachother. OP has been obsessing over the elements that are superficial, and she has been entirely ignorant of components that are important for compatibility with men.

>There's a lot of blanket statements here.

Yes. Correct. That is how you successfully date. It is a numbers game. It is not about finding the .000000000143% of the population that is your "The One", it's about finding the 1% of the population that you could be happily ever after with, and making sure you are also attractive to them.

>Maybe the kind of guys you spend time with don't care about meaningful work or

No. Guys don't care about that, period. It is a sexed trait. Women find high value in men's work. Men do not.

>Also, the statement about "beautiful" not being a real compliment is just totally false. Being "beautiful" and being "sexy" or "hot" are not always the same thing

Obviously they are not the same thing. Dogs and manicured lawns are beautiful. They are never hot. Beautiful exists to mean "something I like looking at but not because it's sexually attractive".

>but who would lie to a friend about either?

A crapload of people. It's a classic puffery compliment, because it's 100% subjective and 0% able to be discredited.

>I also want to challenge this sentiment. If you think someone "looks nuts" because

You can challenge it all you want.

Women who think self help books and tarot cards will land them a man is a huge red flag to a vast majority of men. It is evidence that they are not "emotionally mature", as they claim to be, because these things are not difficult for an emotionally mature woman to learn and understand. Men are not that complicated.

>There is nothing wrong whatsoever with trying therapy or alternative methodologies for self-exploration.

If by "for self-exploration" you mean "for a laugh", sure. If you actually go home at the end of the day and say "why aren't I married, I read XYZ and saw ABC therapist", yes, that is a large indication you have a potentially damaging social malfunction.
If you regularly encounter humans that use different date formats, IMO that method is a great way to avoid confusion between dd/mm/yy and mm/dd/yy.

ISO-8601 is great for computers since it has nice sorting properties, but IMO it's less great for human to human communication. For example if you're trying to set an appointment (or reading current news), it wastes a lot of time to specify the year for every message or article when it's already clear from context.

If you want the only guaranteed probability about the future: its that most predictions about the future are wrong. Everything dies eventually; the things you least expect last longer than you expect them to; or sometimes much shorter. I do feel pretty confident that both Github and sr.ht will be operational tomorrow. But, not 100%; and even less than that next Tuesday; and even less by September.

Actually, Github has had 12 public incidents since May. So... maybe I shouldn't be so bold with my predictions about Github's operational status.

When people say "something is unlikely to happen" what they really mean is: I really hope that thing doesn't happen. Me, personally; I hope both Github and sr.ht continue to see success. As you say; me choosing to pay Github $5/mo won't change anything for the better or worse; but paying that to sr.ht, now that impact is much bigger. If you distil it down to the manifestation of your own hopes: I think the choice of who to support is obvious.
I absolutely love your honesty. Your willingness to put yourself out there and then not get defensive when people are a little bit harsh in their opinions is exceptionally rare.

I am in the middle of an Intel Xeon build and I happen to agree.

Searching for a simple answer to question: "does this CPU + chipset + this particular motherboard actually support ECC DRAM" is infuriating.

Thousands of words on the RGB lighting and the overclocking tweaks, silence on ECC support. It's insane.

Went through four rounds of ECC DRAM (that was on the manufacturer's supported config list) on a Gigabyte board, never got it to POST.

I finally gave up on that one. Bought an Asus X99 WS setup, with Xeon and RAM, from a vendor on eBay.

I can fix simple things, but debugging a configuration in this gamer-saturated market is beyond my current skill level. Once I have at least something working end-to-end, I can bootstrap up to a working machine. But the dead stare of failed POST was a tough one.
My impression is that all the complex and time consuming things you have been doing, you are just doing in order to to leave a properly documented trail to convince yourself (mainly, as well as anyone else) that you made a good and proper effort, and that the lack of a result must be due to some uncontrollable external factors, and not something like your heart not being in it, or you're scared or reasons like that.
Guess who is paying for all that increased nonsense. Hint: It is not the "tech" companies orchestrating its delivery.

It is true this problem is not limited to bandwidth. The same applies to RAM, secondary storage and in some cases CPU. Who pays for the increased nonsense that saps the computer owner's RAM, storage and CPU. Hint: It is not the companies that provide "free" software.

I initially experienced computing on a VAX at a university, before I ever owned a "personal computer". Perhaps it was only the program we were running, but the speed was faster than anything I ever experienced later on a PC. I worked continuously over the years to try to make the PC "user experience" as fast as that VAX "user experience" as possible, for myself only. It has worked quite well.

The web that the "tech" companies want, where websites can and do vary drastically in speed and design,^1 and the one I want are two different things. Under the text-only, no Javascript, no CSS, no DNS system^2 I have designed, all websites are more or less the same speed and they all present information in more or less the same format.

Like the parent comment, I like the web as a concept. However I dislike the "tech" company model for the web. I am not the only one. IMHO, adoption of the "tech" company model for the web, with its steadily increasing nonsense, relies on a world of computing without meaningful, informed choice and without feasible alternative options.

1. Or, as the author cites, one where the practical result is traffic being routed through Google, e.g., AMP.

2. NB. I am not against the use of such facilties. However, due to the way they are commonly used on today's web, and given the lack of user control over their use, eliminating them was necessary to achieve the speed I wanted.
I did. Do lots of people use this library? I guess I'm wondering what the relative "newsworthiness" of this announcement is, because, like I said, people move things off Github all the time.
