I find it interesting that there's a need for Rocky to exist at all. IBM basically killed Centos, which was the unofficial Red Hat release that came into existence when Red Hat stopped providing free versions of Red Hat which Red Hat then grand fathered in as a thing they actively supported. That whole process was just weird. I did not encounter a single project that actually used Red Hat after that happened: world + dog used Centos at the time. That seemed like a horrible process to put up artificial hurdles for people to transition to Red Hat. Killing Centos and then having Rocky and Alm emerge immediately after makes this even less likely. As a business strategy this just seems pretty misguided.

These days, I don't deal with the whole red hat ecosystem at all (why would I?). Software ships in docker form these days and I'll typically either deploy it on whatever my cloud provider uses without really messing with that directly or setting up a simple Ubuntu server with Docker using things like Ansible. My daily driver is a Manjaro laptop currently. I like it because I get current versions of everything I need as opposed to old stuff like Gnome 40. Do people actually put Rocky on workstations? My impression is that that whole ecosystem is more about servers and that Fedora is the preferred thing for people in that ecosystem on desktops.
Articles like this keep cropping up here and they're always flooded with comments that admit ignorance or uncertainty but then indulge the article with personal opinions. It's weird.

Three wheeled cars are an inherently bad design. They tip over too easily. The width between the front wheels looks like it's about as wide as what's legal, and that would help, but I don't think they've solved that problem.

Those front fenders are so low they're going to get ripped up on curbs and concrete wheelstops in parking lots. If someone crashes head on into that car it would really be ugly.

If you're old enough you might remember "the Dale car"[1] you'd know this is really not much different in design or the hype promoting it.

I think OP missed the fact that clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines in children measured neutralizing antibodies as the surrogate endpoint, similar to clinical trials for other vaccines [1]. So it is not surprising that the trials could achieve their primary endpoint while being inconclusive on preventing infection. On top of that, the benefit of vaccination can arise not just from preventing infection but also from reducing disease severity.

> the principle here has always been to trust readers to be smart enough to make up their own minds

That's a fine principle. By extension, it should also be fine for commenters to note facts about sources. You are right that internet discussion can be derailed by the DAG of association, but internet discussion based solely on "what does the article say?" is naïve, amounting to borderline sealioning.

Part of critical thinking and reading is understanding the POV of the author(s) and publisher(s), and considering their motivations and incentives.
These 3-wheeled "legally a motorbike" car things are always an unpopular niche. Fantastic efficiency and a low price, but most people would rather shell out for a full-sized car.

They're legally motorbikes, so they are often not as safe as cars. This one boasts "eggshell" composites for crash safety, but often the lack of mass makes it hard to make these as safe as a heavier vehicle.

2 seats. It seems to have a lot of storage (25 cubic feet) but I bet it handles very badly if it's weighed down.

I can't find any mention of performance. I bet it's relying a lot on the high low-end torque of electric motors, and aerodynamic design at high speeds, and I wouldn't be surprised if it still handles quite slowly. I found a claim somewhere that it's over 99mph, which isn't exactly stunning.

There's already plenty of 3-wheeled EVs, the SARIT, ElectraMeccanica Solo, Spirtus EV as well as this one - https://electricautonomy.ca/2021/05/10/electric-three-wheele...

These things never do that well. It's not because they're a terrible idea, they just have a lot of compromises. Of course, if conventional cars are too expensive (either the high upfront cost of an EV, or the high running costs of a gas guzzler) then it does make them a little more attractive.

Every time gas goes up, you see a bunch of people driving motorbikes or scooters to work to save money. Something that's legally a scooter but has a nice canopy could make a bit more sense, but it rarely seems to catch on.

The choice is tightly bundled with economic opportunity, income, specific jobs, school quality, and other factors.

I'm interpreting "living in SF" to mean broadly within the SF Bay Area metro region, which would include much of the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa. Arguably parts of Marin and Santa Cruz. For some of the longer commutes, Sonoma, Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, and San Joaquin.

Housing is scarce and expensive throughout the region. It's one of few economic hubs in the US let alone the state. And people have increasingly been priced out, or simply unable to find housing (including replacement after natural disasters).

"Choice" isn't a binary, or absent profound implications, opportunities, and/or consequences.

I grew up in NYC and I think it has a lot of problems that have prevented me from moving back there since college, this said...

NYC has the largest train system in the entire world, especially when you combine the various nearby train systems that aren't a part of the main subway like LIRR, NJ transit, path and Metro north (in China which technically is longer they count long distance commuter rail). The subway alone has more stops than any train system in the world.

Do RHEL/Rocky/CentOS Stream 8's mock chroots work on CentOS 7 hosts? If so, then this does seem like a legitimate binary incompatibility.
I hear what you're saying, but my intuition disagrees with you. Asmjs was optimized in browsers when I did that test. I think people tend to overestimate how much subsequent versions of V8 improve performance in niche areas like TypedArrays. Especially now that V8 is very mature.

I suspects if I re-ran that test, performance would have improved across the board but I'd get the same relative performance result with TypedArray code.

It would be fascinating to try though. I wish I kept the code.
Having previously worked on Naval Reactors:

I did not once see a Kaizen box there. If we accidentally left tools in the reactor compartment and they got hot they got tossed into the box in there and that was that.

That said, I do enjoy a properly sorted box and prefer them. That may simply be a decade plus of being used to using them though; they are second nature to me.
Ask HN: Advice for a new Technical Architect?
I've been at a very large firm / project for a little more than a year working as a backend developer. During that time I've accrued a decent amount of technical and domain knowledge about our system, enough that they've placed me as a technical architect working with two teams for an upcoming release whose deadline is about a year from now. Given most of HN consists of tech-oriented folks, I was hoping to get some advice on how to thrive in this new role both from a technical and leadership standpoint, as I feel I am still getting my footing in adjusting to this sudden change.
RedHat benefit is support. You can sue them if something goes wrong ;)
Good engineering is using on local what is used on servers. RHEL definitely is about servers foremost. There are many industries where RHEL is a must. Amazon Linux is derivative of RHEL.
Good point about containers.

Artists seek low costs.

They tend to create progressive locales.

Then the gentrification cycle sets in.

I'm not saying all low-rent regions will attract art, but it's possible to generate some pretty significant cultural shifts.

San Francisco / Berkeley becoming capitals of counterculture was not an entirely obvious outcome from the perspective of the 1930s, 40s, or 50s. A friend recalls the Haight-Ashbury when it was largely a Greek ethnic neighbourhood.

I don't think that the idea of either free software or the semantic web were hopeless or that they lead to the dystopian hell. Open source was created due to a disagreement with the idea of software freedom. It turned out to be exactly what free software wasn't - a tool for exploitation. Similarly, the semantic web was easy to implement - except that the big tech saw it as a hindrance to profit. That lead to the blockchain web hijacking the web3 designation from it. That said, both ideas are still viable and still alive on a small scale.

> Sweden never offered vaccination to children under 12

They (we) did. A list containing children under 12 who got vaccinated is at the center of a data breach this very week.

There was also an uptick in deaths among young school-age children, which was somewhat 'offset' by lower deaths in the 12+ age-ranges. Vaccinating children doesn't do nothing, but with a small effect focusing on small at risk groups might be wise.

CUE's author invented Borg configuration language or BCL since 2008.

BCL code is the 3rd largest human written code in Google internal code base. In 2019 Aprial, there is 180M lines of BCL, while C++/Java sits at ~300M.

BCL configuration's large scale use probably is beyond any other infra as code use cases known to human.

And the learning and ideas over more than a decade, is manifested in CUE.

Personally, this is enough to convince me to comfortably ignore anything else on the market.

However, it seems they are not compatible with the goals and philosophy of the Godot project. That is their choice to make and if you don't agree with it, then your needs don't match with Godot and you should choose a different project.

I can understand where Godot is coming from. Getting involved with the corporate world is a slippery and corrupting slope and before you know it you'll be partnering with ad and malware companies like Unity is doing. Ok maybe not, but it's still not a decision to take lightly and in a world where everyone is motivated by money it is refreshing to see some communities like Godot and Blender who are doing things their own way.

Incorrect. Bancor, the first DeFi protocol and ICO, is in deficit (liabilities exceed assets).

They offered 100% impermanent loss protection. Now, liquidity providers like me who deposited ETH are down 50%.

It's only about a $18 million hole, but the Switzerland "non-profit" Bancor Foundation that has raised hundreds of thousands of ETH in ICO is nowhere to be seen.

I think this already exists. I've read that aluminum smelters (very very energy intensive) get a discount rate that you describe. I think all very large scale industrial projects interact pretty extensively with the power provider to make sure that both parties know how the impact to the grid can be managed.

I can't imagine that a 50MW industrial operation just pays their power bill the way you and I do.

That number doesn't really matter, does it? I'd think the average number of people there each day is much closer to the relevant number.
Thank you!

Encryption shouldn't bottleneck a CPU (I think), and why would disk performance matter? Only the transmission is encrypted.

Anyway.. Your point still stands. The true answer is a combination of "why not" and I'd like to extend outside of LANs in the future.
For the benefit of others wondering how it should be done instead: it’s best to use a proper type that will do the encoding, instead of passing a raw body. Sure, you can perform the encoding yourself (e.g. `text=${encodeURIComponent(text)}`) and pass a raw body, but as things scale that’s much more error-prone; it’s better to let types do the lifting from the start (kinda like lifting heavy things by squatting rather than bending at the waist).

For application/x-www-form-urlencoded as shown, that’d be using URLSearchParams:

fetch("https://text-processing.com/api/sentiment", {
method: "POST",
body: new URLSearchParams({ text }),
})

If you wanted multipart/form-data instead (which I expect the API to support), you’d use FormData, which sadly can’t take a record in its constructor:

const body = new FormData();
body.append("text", text);
fetch("https://text-processing.com/api/sentiment", { method: "POST", body })

Note that in each case the content-type header is now superfluous: the former will give you "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8" (which is all the better for specifying the charset) and the latter a "multipart/form-data; boundary=…" string. (Spec source: https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-bodyinit-extract.)

As a fun additional aside, you’ve made a tiny error in your transcription: the URL was actually surrounded in backticks (a template literal), not single quotation marks. Given the absence of a tag or placeholders (which would justify a template literal) and the use of double-quoted strings elsewhere, both of these would be curious choices that a style linter would be very likely to complain about. So yeah, just another small point where it’s generating weird code.

ytt lets you embed logic via a python-subset (starlark) and also provides "overlays" as a "replace/insert" mechanism. and all valid ytt files are valid yaml files, so they can be passed-through other yaml parsing stages.
Yup. Which goes back to the housing problem. Under building of housing country wide (and even more so in major cities) is IMHO one of the root causes of many many many of the problems we see in America today.
For iOS, we used some runtime trickery to access private APIs. Was needed to access calendar invite details. Could see how a less benign developer could sneak malicious code past Apple's review process.

A famous example of self-modifying code was Microsoft's AARD code, which was decrypted on the fly to check if the user was running a competitor's OS. [1]

I always wondered if the perceived threat of runtime method constructors was an incentive for Apple to push for Swift.

My last job invoked using kaizen to reform marketing strategy and IT tooling (aka making me revisit the 10 year old Access databases to create more user friendly interfaces for Marketing, and forcing Excel to generate template documents via SharePoint 2010 data that nobody wanted to contribute to).

I dream of a consumer/residential ISP that’s that transparent about their network.

There were issues in Australia with the rollout of the NBN where the wholesale charging mechanism was basically designed to give structural kickback to back haul fiver bandwidth providers (including the national incumbent Telstra) as a way to get everyone on the negotiating table. So instead of needing bandwidth to a couple dozen places ISPs needed it to over a hundred, and we ended up with a significant fraction of the ISP market being throttled by ludicrous “contention ratios” I recall some notorious ones being over 100 to 1 but I’m on mobile so it’s a bit hard to go digging for historical links. (Whirlpool.net if you want to learn more)

The end result was a generation of frustrated young consumers did actually learn a little bit about this due to it being a widespread issue that even helped some companies differentiate their product in the market by beginning to advertise their contention ratios and it genuinely did help them get customers, but it likely would have just been “confusing” a decade early had the issue not become prominent enough that people had some idea what this thing meant when they were selecting an ISP.

Rocky made it clear they have a new build system which lead to their delay. I think it's called peridot. I would imagine that it's not easy to start fresh in two places at once. Alma has an advantage with a process from CloudLinux already in place and now they've rebranded that build system as Alma and so on. Credit to Alma for keeping up and doing their thing; hopefully they'll be fully decoupled from CL in the future.

CentOS had historically fell behind in release times, but we all of a sudden want to paint others in a bad light for being behind. Did everyone forget about CentOS 7 having average of 30 days delay behind each point release? 7.4 being the most at 43 days. What about CentOS 6.0, with 242 days?

As for their behavior, it takes two to tango. I usually like to thank carlwshill and "conan_kudo" (who should pick a better name since he thinks he's from the anime his picture is from) for being true stars in the open source community and really bringing out not only the best in others, but the best in themselves day in and day out. I'm not sure how anyone can put up with them, regardless of which community you're in (CentOS/Fedora EPEL/others), but who am I to judge, I'm just a user.
What does there platform provide then?
That's not true, there's demand to live in a specific part of NYC. I really cannot stand that urbanists say this sort of thing. Demand isn't just for walkablity, it's for the complete new urbanist neighborhood that was first formalized by the likes of Jane Jacobs and friends. It's about the unique one of a kind shops, access to really unique amenities that only exist in the city and so on.

There are plenty of walkable parts of NYC like the South Bronx that have far lower demand to live there than the suburbs in nearby NJ or hell the not so walkable parts of NYC like Staten island, south Bronx or the outer parts of Queens.

What people want is access to amenities in under 10 minutes of travel time, and under 20 minutes of travel to special events they don't go to regularly, as well as a short job commute. This can easily be solved by getting rid of euclidean zoning in suburbs and building out all American suburbs in the style of cities like Portland originally had been.
