Not the same, but potentially similar in intent, I use aconfmgr to track what's installed, changes to configuration files, and any potential changes/whole files left behind by some quick test or since uninstalled software.

(Also, even primarily to me, but less relevantly, it's great for gitting configuration & its reasons, and syncing across machines.)

Not intentionally anyway. If it was intentional, it was to grab attention (like include a mistake in a tweet), but it seems serious and on-brand for an influencerpreneur.
What happens when you don't play ball.
Wait a second, (I'm curious because here in Australia this thing doesn't seem to exist) is this limited to their mobile site (you need app in order to log in on your phone), or you actually need to have a phone with you when you access online banking on your desktop? If it's the latter, that's crazy, what if you don't have a smartphone? That would be a complete deal breaker for me, I would switch to a different bank
Honestly, it really depends on what you do next.

Probably.

History is full of famous successes who were failures first. Lots of people are giving you that advice. Famously, IBM was Thomas Watson's 38th try, and the durable lightbulb filament Edison's 162nd.

It's absolutely okay to feel despondent after a big hit, especially if it's one that took seven years of your life along the way. I've been there. It's just an awful feeling, and I commiserate as best as I'm able.

At the same time, pragmatically speaking, you really only have three options:

1. Try again

2. Try something else

3. Give up

You're not going to give up. You wouldn't be here asking if you were going to.

So the real question is, do you try again, or do you try something else, like a day job?

I don't know about your situation, and I don't know how much safety you need, but that's sort of the baseline choice, really. By what method do you dust yourself off and stand up and respond?

At 37, you'll be okay. After seven years (a fifth of your life, or a third of your adult life,) it's going to hurt real bad, and be confusing.

But life goes on. You'll be okay.

It'll be a while before you can see it that way, and that's okay too.
This is super cool, but I see folks having problems with networking. Maybe I'll try in a month.
Ask HN: What are the best learning references that have you found?
I'm looking for introductory stuff like the following:

- https://howhttps.works/

- https://howdns.works/

- https://tls13.xargs.org/

- https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

- Eli the computer guy series on youtube (A+, Networking, Cloud Computing)

Reason for asking: i like sharing things like this to people new to programming / development in general.
All the students in a course I was teaching apparently were using Chegg for the previous year’s textbook so I decided to use as a supplement (to Strang [which was not the previous year’s book but had all the answers online anyway]) an old Mir publishers book on Diff Eq which I can’t remember exactly how I got (either a bookstore in the French quarter or maybe a library remainder sale).

At any rate it turns out the English printing is so rare not only can it not be found on Libgen - the few copies online are selling for hundreds of dollars (which I certainly would not have paid for it). So not only did I luck into a paper fortune (I suspect this is a rather illiquid market - plus I had to go through and fix a bunch of typos by hand, so much for the Soviet STEM educational complex) the kids _definitely_ couldn’t find this on the Internet.

Why doesn't Marlin feature such resonance compensation then, except for "it has not been built yet"? I suppose Klipper does offload heavy computation to a multi-core Raspberry Pi as opposed to a single-core STM32F1 running at 32MHz generally.
I really like alpine linux. I used it as my WSL2 env for years. I run Void Linux on actual hardware these days (better to use photon for games than WSL2 for work), but would probably switch back to alpine if it had more packages and rolling release, as it had the best package manager I had ever used.
What I can't stand about him is his willingness to lie through his teeth to protect whatever party line chess.com need sold at that time. That they weren't adjusting ratings, that they weren't scraping broadcasts from other sites, that they don't forbid their streamers from using other sites...all things he's said with a straight face that got proved wrong and later had to be admitted.
Do you happen to know how the scratch containers differ from googles distroless containers?

I’ve been using them (distroless) with great success for my Rust applications.
This list has been circulating forever, following the publication of the book, and I believe they should be called "top five very theoretical and after the fact and with no empirical evidence they are regrets and they would do something different if in the same position of the dying".

Now, think of those who like to eat until they are full, those 7k calorie meals. There are many such cases, especially in the United States. After such a large meal, which would frighten weaker stomachs, if they were asked, "Do you regret eating like that?" they would almost certainly say yes. But they would do it again tomorrow, some would say because they have a medical condition, others because they love to eat and don't mind having problems with walking, diabetes, and all the assorted ailments that go hand in hand with overeating, or alcohol, or any combination of the two.

In a moment of tremendous weakness, of fear of crossing the Acheron, when asked "do you regret working so hard?" even the laziest worker the world has ever seen, the anti-Stakanov, would say, "yes, I do, it's one of my biggest regrets."

Some of my friends did not continue studying after middle school and sometimes say, "I would have/should have continued studying," regardless of the fact that at that time they were not inclined to open a textbook even with a gun pointed at their head. But in their minds, if they had a chance to go back in time and armed with motivation that they did not have at the time, they would study, of course they would.
But they only like the idea, not the action. They are the same people. And it's the same for those five regrets, the "if I had $10 million, I would give $9.5 million to charity." But they don't have that $10 million.
fewer strings attached?
If you want to convince people that QC works, don't say you solved something a supercomputer takes 10K years to solve. The Google experiment didn't start any races- it was a flag planted in the ground, but the ground wasn't stable.

Nobody is racing to improve this algorithm except people who want to show their classical computer chops, because the algorithm doesn't do anything useful.
Sure it is for life-- and longer. If a carpenter builds a house, that house is the carpenter's forever. He/she can pass it on to their heirs and those can pass it onto their heirs. The same goes for all physical goods.

And, others have pointed this out, but copyright has nothing to do with ideas. If you want to write your own book with the ideas, go to it.
Agreed. Does anyone know if there are sources retained anywhere for any of that stuff?

IIRC I went digging around the simh ITS packages (hard to do since it's an alien filesystem image, not exactly a consumable tarball) and couldn't find it.
> I don't believe other people should be in charge of my medical treatment. The system has been doing an abysmal job with all related topics, what makes you think top-down control is what we need here too?

If anything, the opioid crisis shows that there hasn't been enough control on drugs that alter people perception and/or feeling. In countries were more control over the usage of these compounds is mandatory (eg: Europe, where doctors have to justify each dose they prescribe and where stats are made about who prescribes more than usual), usage is possible for the people who actually need them, and no one is talking about widespread abuse. Countries were not enough control was imposed (eg: US, where you can get you hand on some by talking to the right doctor for very minor symptoms), usage exploded.

And although psychedelic tend to be less addictive than opioids, they definitely can be abused in a similar fashion because of the similar "escape on reality" they provide.

Maybe you think you'd be better off if no one was keeping in check with your drug usage. But history shows that society as a whole wouldn't.
I think what people are getting at is that the legal language can be changed after an acquisition and our previously-safe data is now owned by a less scrupulous entity.
Absolutely. It's probably the best book i've ever read.

Describing it as a Harry Potter fanfic is technically accurate but really doesn't do it justice. It's basically a story of what would happen if an extremely smart, educated and technically minded person would do if put into the role of Harry Potter.
The blood test accuracy problem that Theranos ran into wasn't so much about the specimen volume, but rather that they drew the blood from capillaries too close to the skin and thus it wasn't representative of blood circulating in larger veins. For some tests where they were just looking for any presence of certain substances that was good enough, but it couldn't work reliably for any test that needs consistent, quantitative results.
1970 was a local maxima, probably due to the draft and GI bill. We still spend more as a function of GDP; 1973 was 5.7% of GDP, 2017 was 6.8% (2009 was max at 7.5%).

Those numbers are roughly comparable to other countries. We're within a percentage point of GDP of Switzerland, Australia, Germany, the UK and more.

The big issue is the number of students has dramatically increased, but funding has not. We either need to spend a lot more (costs would rival and maybe even exceed healthcare), or we need to cut costs.

My personal take is that we need to trim the fat out of the curriculum. A lot of classes have nothing to do with your major, and exist only to make students "well-rounded". I don't see a compelling reason to use public funds to force electrical engineering or CS students to take English composition classes (hell, I had to take Early Childhood Education to fill a gen ed credit). I barely see a reason to force them to take Calc 2; tools exist to give people the answer to those questions, they're just truncated to a value more precise than anyone could manufacture anyways.

I don't have a problem if Math students want to take English classes or vice versa. I just don't think there's enough public good in it to be worth paying for with public money. How many people actually use those skills anyway? I have never in my career been asked to read a document and look for symbolism. I have never been asked about childhood education. I have never been asked a problem that I needed Calc 2 for. I probably could have skipped half my classes and no one would have noticed.
I should have said "labeling this OER project as 'openwashing'", since "OER" is a broader term that is not owned by this one organization.
Can you elaborate on why this is relationship-ending for you? https://skarnet.org/software/s6/why.html makes it seem like a reasonable direction.
God no. Even before the recent huge bump in car prices.

They're very common, but not cheap.

They're either actual work trucks built to do real work (so, not cheap) or are status symbols (so burning cash is part of the point—also not cheap).

Like with anything, you can save buying used, but I don't see very many older trucks around these days. Dunno if a lot got taken off the roads with Cash for Clunkers, or if rising gas prices made older trucks less appealing so a bunch got scrapped, or what. Seems like most trucks I used to see were older, but since they got more popular for normal drivers, even one visibly 7-8 model years old is pretty unusual. Less so out in the sticks, but near the city, it's almost all fairly-new trucks.

The people who really want to show off can get trucks that approach six figures, retail. Not some custom job, that's in-demand enough that it's a normal trim level they make.

Any extra stuff done to a truck after purchase is sometimes about functionality but most cases you see will be conspicuous consumption instead, including lift kits. Tons of them are on trucks that'll rarely leave pavement—they're the same as fancy, expensive rims or whatever.

[EDIT] Cheap (relatively cheap, anyway) light trucks used to be a thing, like in the 90s and earlier, but are damn near not made at all, anymore.
I mean, you just described 99.99999% of the population, especially those that participate in a discussion of a 25 year old pop song on a technical community board, or more broadly, teenagers.

More jollies and harmless pranks, I say!

But on a serious note, I reflect a lot on that song and empathize with being kinds to knees (I broke mine at 18 and decades later still feel it).
No I don't. That's my point. To me, the number that's two times smaller than x is -x. (x-2x)
The scaling part is obviously the relevant part of QC, and when somebody can come up with a QC that solves a Real Problem that couldn't be solved by a crack team of supercomputer developers, we'll all be very happy and then the community can say they've achieved "supremacy".
The classic supply-demand curve picture dates from 1890, so that would be a firm yes.
Personally I hadn't heard about this until a minute ago, which means that luckily there are banks that don't require a mobile app...
I wish MediaTek open-sourced their drivers so we could see a PineBook Pro with a relatively capable processor, that thing with a higher res screen and a Dimensity 9000 would be amazing.
Yeah, he's neither a comic book hero nor a monster. He's a rich dude who's pretty smart and decided to risk a bunch of his helping build up companies working in important innovative fields, but unfortunately he also trolls and overshares on Twitter like a 13 year old.
The problem is that most places reward you based on "impact" somehow, not "impact had we not given you such a bad roadmap to follow," so being unplugged from the business side is rolling the dice w.r.t. future recognition of your work, no matter how well you did
Been a while since I was in the semiconductor industry, but it looks like this open-sourcing is intended to free up the ecosystem from dependence on Cadence EDA. Nice, could open up opportunity for creation of a lot of cottage fabless semiconductor startups. (does anyone known whether Cadence had ever gotten on the freemium offering model?)
But this is already not happening. Textbook publishers are already giving students a choice to either buy a textbook outright or "rent" it for dramatically lower. This is already happening with physical books. I'm sure the publishers (at least some of them) would love to come up with some similar scheme with digital books.
When I briefly played with Clojure a few years ago, I was surprised and disappointed that there was no official toolchain (just the informally-agreed-upon leiningen, which it sounds like they're moving away from now?). It was bewildering and a turn-off for me as a new dev, and very surprising given how cohesive and practical the language and standard lib themselves are

Easy or simple- I could see arguments for either. But I can't understand why they'd just punt on something so important in this day and age
You may be interested in an open source project I am developing, see:
https://webapibridge.org

Web API calls are converted into MySQL Stored Procedure calls and the result set returned. I am interested in extending this to other databases.
I've experimented with this as an alternative API layer. When using role-based RLS in postgresql and being strict with what is exposed to application users it can be quite nice, but it also brings in a lot of additional considerations. Things like rate-limiting, caching, timeouts, access logging, etc. are all very much standard practice on a HTTP or RPC layer, but not so much for a SQL interface. When using postgrest (a REST layer on top of postgresql) I've considered just exposing the same API over SQL since I already have the authZ fully implemented in the DB but I still don't know if I want to implement everything else that goes along with a api in the DB.
Here's GWBASIC:

I think people throwing algorithms at problems at Kaggle or combining them is not the kind of research, which the GP was referring to.

Limiting a tree by its depth is a very general global parameter for a tree. One could try to use any kind of criteria for deciding when to stop making more child nodes in a tree, depending on what information is locally available and that depends on how the tree algorithm is actually implemented. So people doing Kaggle challenges would have to dig into the source code of the tree implementation, then change things there, to modify locally available knowledge, in order to allow for more fine grained decision making at each node.

That is only the constructive side of things, when the tree is created. Even more powerful is the post processing / destructive / prunning side of things, because theoretically the whole tree structure can be taken into account, when deciding what branch to cut.

I think the GP is referring to research in the area of what other useful things one can come up with here. As far as I know, these are not the usual things people do in Kaggle challenges. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'd guess that the proportion of linux users who prefer to use the terminal for file management over a GUI is way higher than MacOS or Windows ones. It's not a property of the system itself, but more that someone who prefers to do things this way would be more likely to use linux than the average user. Hence...lifestyle
There are plenty of reasons to believe it. Publishers are already "renting" printed textbooks to students for a term for a dramatically lower price. I'm sure they would love to do the same with digital copies.
I wish Dall-e was more like this.
Further trivia: Going one level up from busybox, the maintainer of dash is the creator of runit. Both runit and s6 are "inspired by" djb's daemontools. In truth, neither [wc]ould have been created if not for daemontools.
If you can guarantee that you get the same result for the same projection (a query and or rest call also could be characterized as a projection) then I don't see an issue.

LOTS of rest services are just urls params -> sql -> result set -> json

> At Microsoft, we have everything from silicon to compilers to the operating system

In what way does Microsoft "have silicon"? They don't own a fab, FAFAIK. Do they design their own processors like Amazon does, or is this simply referring to the amount of datacenters Microsoft is operating for their Azure platform?

Does that mean people admitted to hospital? Even before vaccination most people who caught it didn’t get sick enough to require hospitalization - there were some (expensive) covid-specific treatments like mABs for those who did of course.

Certain features in FreeBSD are not available in Darwin, such as ZFS and jails. Also, if you’re doing software testing, it’s nice to be able to spin up a VM of the OS that you’re testing your software on.
Maybe. But then again we often try to solve very specific problems, which are very far from requiring anything close to a general intelligence. Heck, a general intelligence might even be bad at things, just like humans are not as good as computers at certain things.

Sorry, took me a while to find the book. We're moving. It's called "Prodigiorum ac Ostentorum Chronicon" (A History of Celestial Signs and Miracles), By Conrad Lycosthenes, published in 1557. It's full of crazy stuff, and like modern clickbait they recycle the same pictures many times throughout the book. There are pictures of people flayed open, chimeras, dragons, etc., with many other pictures portraying fairly mundane aspects of life accurately.
