Yeah I tried mtr again recently. After maybe 30 seconds of working fine, it'll exit with an error like "no route to host" (even though it was getting responses before). Yeah, packet loss is exactly why I'm opening mtr: to see where on the path it occurs... how in the world does that make it crash
The CRT effect was not really that pronounced (certainly not during W95 times displays since you use that theme) unless you looked from up to very close, all these fake effects are overdoing it giving young kids different ideas about past. This looks more like very low resolution TV than computer display from mid 90s.
I think that’s just polish that was missing at a time for Gnome. Check out gnome now, it is very fast on even low-end laptops, and has better input latency than a goddamn mac.
Curious if there is any source code around for these kinds of programs.
Well, these boys can't experience real intimacy with actual girls, and they can't blow off steam with each other given heterosexual norms, so porn is it. May as well make it the best porn possible.

Conversely, I was applying to Meta and have made it to the final stage. The interview was held with the head PE in the country. Both him and all preceding interviews clearly signaled PEs are 'the ones who do both' here, and their scarcity has made them quite valuable in the branch (according to them). It is also reflected by their salary here, which is 15% higher for interns and 50% higher as a FTE.
> note that this applies only to x86, on ARM 64-bit mode doesn't provide more GPRs and is even more useless

It does. The 32-bit ARM architecture has 15 GPRs (plus the instruction pointer which is sort of treated as a GPR by many instructions), while the 64-bit ARM architecture has 31 GPRs (plus one which can either be a constant zero register or the stack pointer depending on the instruction).

> Another option would be to compile apps in 64-bit mode, but use 32-bit wide ints and pointers. This way the RAM could be saved too.

There's a third mode for x86 Linux which does exactly that, but it's never been popular.

> To automate them out, you need 100% accuracy which closes in on impossible to achieve.

I don't follow. As Animats indicated, there are already plenty of autonomous trains that work fine.
I'm making the opposite point: That there is a genuine and intellectual argument for originalism. But it has nothing to do with the Supreme Court's current decision making process which is "Do we have 5 suitably Conservative Supreme Court Justices? Yes or No?". Which is why in the Dobbs decision Thomas rightly points out that the next thing to do is revisit Contraceptives, Same sex marriage, and Gay sex. And why Roberts makes another concurrence literally saying he also wants to ban abortion, but just doesn't see the need to overturn Roe to do that.

The problem is that the arguments they make support their position, but they don't support their own arguments when it doesn't result in supporting their position.

The HN title is misleading as it was actually upgraded from Debian 8 "Jessie" to Bullseye.

Debian 8 "jessie" support reached its end-of-life on June 30, 2020, five years after its initial release on April 26, 2015.

However that does mean it was potentially vulnerable to critical vulnerabilities for more than two years whilst world+dog used it to download PuTTY for secure access to their servers. Eek

Would be good to know how this was managed if at all.

Another good channel has this recent video showing a legit medieval castle being rebuilt in France using simple tools and traditional methods. There's a section on working with green oak where they use a side-axe to square up some lumber https://youtu.be/Ajqort8ldXA

Subjective value
When I'm forced to work with a monolith that has 4000+ source files and takes a few minutes to even start up, and has about 20 configuration files that all need to be setup properly for it to even start, I wish for microservices.

When I'm forced to work with microservices that need Skaffold and Helm charts just to run locally, but with the configuration in the monorepo being kind of mismanaged and strewn around a bunch of folders with no documentation, in addition to debugging in the IDE not working because nobody set it all up, I wish for monoliths.

Really, you can have good monolithic systems and you can have good microservices as well, in addition to something in the middle: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/modulith-because-we-need-to... (actually the first blog post that I wrote, the casual language probably shows its age).

But there can also be plenty of poorly developed projects with either. It just so happens that people hate monoliths more in the mainstream culture because most of the older and worse projects out there were monolithic, much like many hate Java and other languages because of being exposed to bad legacy projects written in them: https://earthly.dev/blog/brown-green-language/

Just wait for 5-10 years and people's disposition towards both monoliths and microservices will even out, the advantages and disadvantages of either will become clearly recognized and the hype will shift towards something like serverless. Much like now we know the advantages and disadvantages of languages with/without GC as well as higher/lower abtraction levels pretty well (consider Python vs Rust, for example).

Maybe things will slow down a bit because Kubernetes will also become a bit easier to use, possibly thanks to projects like K3s, K0s, Portainer and Rancher.

Wow,

That feels like reading that post on why Visual Studio wasn't 64 bit back in the days

BTW: Recently VS started being 64bit.
Ask HN: Should a professional software dev know how many bits go in a byte?
Would you say that if you program computers for a living you should always know there are (usually) 8 bits in a byte? Or is it perfectly fine not to know that / can it be considered specialized knowledge if you only program high level software, e.g. front-end web or CRUD business applications?
I'm interested in the topic so skimmed the whole thing but it's all just basics. Most people won't know them all, but so FYI: skip the lengthy article if you know how traceroute and ARP and ICMP work in general, what the difference is between connection times out and connection refused, and why sometimes traceroute returns more than one host for a given hop.
It's also what makes you fall over on the bus or train.

Why don’t the developers simply install off grid solar with batteries on these new homes? You can have a pretty solid off grid system for £20k
Windows or desktops? For windows, why not just alt+tab? Gnome really prefers having multiple desktops with close-to-fullscreen windows on each. And super+mouse wheel is fantastic on desktop machines, but the best experience to me is on a laptop with 3-finger swipes (because it is fast and doesn’t make me wait an animation a la osx. Which is funny because their swipe gestures are spot on on the iphone)
If it is just simple apps and you have experience in React or web development, maybe look into Ionic as well? I’d imagine that would be the lowest effort solution.
It easily beats compressed riscV, which was a bit of surprise.

Given the riscV hype, I was assuming it would at least match thumb2 but in this benchmark it is far far behind.

Here is an interesting question: riscv is assumed to have better instructions per clock than ARM. but what if it has 5% better IPC but 20% worse code density??
Should you even know what a byte is?
If we had sufficient capacity to make all of our chips onshore, what about all the other components to go along with them. Do we have enough domestic production of passive components, circuit board stock, solder, etc?
> You can multi-arch a distribution

I use multi-arch, but it is buggy. Several times, when trying to install a 64-bit library, apt was suggesting to remove tens or hundreds packages to satisfy the dependencies. That included the packages that I have installed manually and it is strange that apt tries to remove them.

Also, when using multi-arch, you can accidentally install a 32-bit kernel and then half of applications stop working.

One local shop has 30 days return period, another has 100 days, no questions asked, you get money back. (i usually just say i dont like it and thats the end of it)

In EU by law anything sold online can be returned in 14 days. (with some exclusions like personal hygiene)

So i don't see how B&M can skip the 14 days, I could report them to consumer protection agency and they'd get massive fines.

Ironically, amazon is in the 14 day bracket for no questions and 30 days for defective... so worse...

> We're talking about a tracking pixel

You know where these tracking pixels are? Everywhere, doctors websites, ecommerce checkout pages,... - you can get a lot of very private information about someone by correlating these data points.
Where would you install them?

- Back of the day cab? You may as well look out of the window. Even then the following point applies (somewhat).

- Back of the sleeper? What are you looking at, front of the dry van / reefer I guess? Hardly useful that way...

- Back of the trailer? The trailer might not even be yours. I guess you could make a kit that clips onto the door handle or bumper? But then you'd be looking at... the dock gate, most of the time. Again, not very useful.

This can go on and on, but I think what you really want is a drone directly overhead.
Oh, I agree with you, the numbers are mind boggling. Just in the US, there are 3 trillion miles driven per year, so even capturing a small part of that (be it through automating long haul trucking, goods delivery, or robotaxi applications) and getting any kind of per mile/per hour revenue makes some pretty large numbers.

It's just that the AV players absolutely need to operate at scale, as their fixed costs are really high compared to a traditional trucking company.
This is missing examples of the outputs. I don't see any actual renders of note.

Doesn't the dólar MEP being higher than the dólar blue imply that Argentina has a severe US dollar shortage, severe enough to authorize Argentinean banks to pay pretty much whatever tourists bringing them to the country demand in exchange?

Also, as a non-Argentinean, I have to confess that I hadn't considered the impact of an artificially strong dólar oficial on the country's exports. Surely beef and other Argentinean exports aren't priced at the official exchange rate on world markets? But I don't see how they couldn't be, either.

This is a valid point. Although the goal should be creating a solution that is easier to start with which can be future proof.

That's both the problem and the solution. In the perfect world you'll have a solution that you can start in 2 minutes. Plus don't have to opt-in for the technical debt you will encounter in the further future.[1]

Not quite, more of a Rust admirer. I'd love to use it but I don't have any use case for something that is both that low level and not an embedded platform where you still need C++.

Sometimes I look into using it for personal projects, but always wind up using some Python/JS/Dart instead, since whatever it was I thought about doing in Rust usually already exists as a library.
I always love watching this.
I believe the way around it would be to create an "full" EU subsidiary that stores the data within EU and cannot take directives from the U.S parent <- US gov. To be honest I'm really surprised that the stock market had no reaction to the recent Digital Markets Act and GDPR. Currently most of the U.S companies are in illegality. They need to restructure their business significantly. That being said I think EU is right. Why would we want our data shared with the U.S government?

I think that is very over-rated. Really nice cities with very urban environment don't actually have to be very dense, even if they feel like that.

And places that are very dense can still be worse then a US subburb in terms of feeling like a city.

One concept from a city planner said basically urbanism is not about density. Connectivity and access is what makes a good city, not density.

You can have a city with anywhere between 50k and 5M feel very livable and nice. And you can have a city with between 50k and 5M feel like a lonely place. Its all about the city design.
I kind of miss honesty, though.

But it's more notable if there's a high concentration of CIA careerists in the ~500 people working in the trust and safety division.

And especially if the leadership of that division is heavy in CIA careerists (it is). They decide what should be permitted, and that is not simply a question of expertise.

ET was actually one of my favorite games on the 2600. I probably played it more than any other.

Sure it had bugs, but once you knew the trick it was quite playable and fun. I think what made people hate it so much was that it was a major departure from the simpler platformers and shooters that were the staple of the 2600 market. Adventure games rarely made any headway in those days on consoles until Coleco.
I was hired by AMD to work on ROCm in 2020. I'm not exactly an unbiased source, but IMO it has improved significantly. There's a number of working frameworks and Blender was recently ported [1]. Just be sure to choose appropriate hardware.

ROCm still has lots of rough edges, but we're slowly filing them down. The documentation is a bit patchy too. Overall, though, it's been a steady progression in the right direction.
