While TUI apps are not new, and I’m not inherently against them (I very much like them), I am worried that the recent proliferation of frameworks is going to give a lot of developers a shiny new toy to build fancy apps with that will now be much more limited as a result.

IMO, the simple input/output and parsable nature of a good CLI app lends itself to chainability, scriptability, and reusability that is still more powerful and flexible than just about anything else.

Put in other terms, you can build a GUI/TUI over one or more CLI apps, but you can’t build CLI apps over one or more GUI/TUI apps.

If developers using these tools realize the need to build these things in layers and not force usage of their app solely through the TUI, then great - everyone wins.

But I’m pessimistic that will be the case.
> Does Microsoft pay for this kind of story

I think we all do.

FWIW, Microsoft security was talking about the same thing 20 years ago but they were under DOJ scrutiny and couldn't get positive press from then-hip Wired. So I guess positive spin that reads like Microsoft wrote it is new . . .

Inflation is 9% and wages have increased over 4%, so inflation adjusted wages are only down 5%.

And wages are becoming a larger part of the inflation picture, since gas and commodity food prices are currently falling but wages are still going up.
>Trees weren't designed to capture carbon, so there's every reason to think something which is can do a better job.

They weren't, but just like jets and knives require a lot of human labor to manufacture in mass quantities, any artificial solutions are likely to be the same for a while. Trees, on the other hand, are fully automatic, self-replicating machines that require almost no human labor (perhaps for initial plantings in a place where they don't already grow, or don't grow in sufficient quantities with their natural self-replication). Basically, if you plant a bunch of tree saplings somewhere suitable, you can leave it alone for 300 years and come back and find a forest.

I like the cuteness it helps not take things too seriously and focus on the problem. Things failed and you broke the internet for everyone on the planet but there is no time to panic only to focus and get things done.
May be similar along my lines. I am for doing something for the silicon industry, I am just not into dumping into established giants. I’d love to see us throw money at people with novel ideas, new and interesting designs not though of before. The problem is, that is playing the long game when all we care about is winning the short game.
You seem to be assuming that the whole tunnel should be one continuous structure, and that the pressure vessel must occupy the whole volume. A segmented structure, possibly with pressure vessels that are either flexible or of a smaller diameter than the outer walls may be more practical. I'm also not sure whether luncrete is really a practical option, and you certainly won't have clay for bricks.

I think you're making a lot of assumptions, and don't have a comprehensive view of how the structure(s) would be designed and built.

Take some time, at least once a year, to sit down with yourself and have a vision for your life not based on work or status (ie vacations or the acquisition of things). If that isn't enough to snap you out, go to a small village in Latin America or maybe like Matthew McConaughey discovered and talked about in his book, a quaint monastery in New Mexico.

I've been a software developer for 20+ years, (mostly) remote since 2011.

Looking for freelance linux-based contract work, B2B (yes, I'm incorporated) or 1099. Open to part-time contracting.

I have a can-do attitude and have the ability to be hands on, mentor, work collaboratively and autonomously (Does that sound too Tesla-like?).

I prefer to do things as opposed to talking about doing things and am able and willing to gather requirements, create stories and define projects.

I'm punctual (I value everyone's time), reliable (I stick to what we agree upon), dependable (I'll be there when you expect me to), adaptable (I'm not stuck in one tech area) and accountable (no issues with ownership of things I work on) and all the other good -ables.
> Imagine you were tasked to price a product and your report read "charge as much as you can get away with".

If i'm one of the shareholders i'd want to hear something that rhymes with that. They're not a small team startup chasing validation and growth, they're out to onboard businesses for years of lock-in where the selling point is not just the price but the reputation, reliability, and synergy of this product you're looking for along with their other existing and future upcoming products.

> Is this how you think they do pricing?

Yes and no. The way I see aws is the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. AWS is sold as an entire solution, not individual products. Lambda for me is priced as Lambda + other AWS products + their developer community. For me it's a mix of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In the end i may be wrong and overgeneralizing things, maybe someone from aws can enlighten us? haha.
It occurs to me that this speaks to a more fundamental pain point in software testing.

It's so common to write tests that say, in one block of code, "these are the inputs, a function or endpoint is called, and these are the expected outputs." But in theory, every single one of those tests should have variations like "if this exact same input was provided, but with a user with different permissions, as well as a non-logged-in user, the endpoint should fail with a permission error."

But then you get into a quandary: if you want to be able to customize your test code granularly, or have your inputs and outputs generated at runtime, you need to be able to write your test setup code as code, not [{ input, endpoint_name, output }] configurations. But if you need code, then you can accidentally run code that calls things directly without the abstractions that would run it with the extra variations.

At a certain scale, this speaks to needing either static analysis of your testing code, or extremely diligent review processes, beyond simple code coverage.

Does anyone have go-to libraries that deal with this at scale?

Have you considered that it's not the nationality but the actual toxicity of the platform/content itself that people dislike?

That doesn't even mention the one about stealing something from school, or the "fractal wood burning" stuff that has actually killed people. Their purely-algorithmic feed denies people the validation they seek from their own circle, encouraging them to dial up the outrageousness to get views from strangers instead, so these things are not accidents. There are lots of cool things on TikTok - I'm a fan of B Dylan Hollis and Amaury Guichon and just about anyone singing a shanty or covering a Pink Floyd guitar line - but overall "TikToxic" captures it pretty well. Why play the sinophobia card when an even simpler explanation is right there?
I think you are forgetting to factor in risk,

Those paths are much more risky, a few make it big most don't. But that's the trade off people willingly make, a small shot at making it big, or living a normal upper middle class fully employed lifestyle.

The way I think about it is, if you are on a deserted island, but you have made a nice life for yourself, shelter, water, food.

Do you risk pulling it all down to make a raft to sail into the unknown searching for somewhere better.

May people stay put and justify their stagnant lifestyle by how they are slightly ahead of the people whos raft sunk and had to swim back and start over.

Those people are the movers the shakers of the world, they take in the risk for something more in life.

Every time you fail you are failing upwards, learning skills you didn't have before becoming stronger and building better rafts.

The thing I don't like is that people keep acting like we're going to avoid a climate catastrophe. We're not; it's already too late. We might as well get used to the idea that things are going to get really, really bad in the next few decades. The only way to avoid it is to completely stop the things we're doing right now, all over the planet, and that simply isn't going to happen.
Plus there is no reason why someone couldn't build a specialised AI model to do vectorisation and another to generate simplified versions of vectors.

Honestly I didn't know that. I have only used alpine based images for some pure python webservers and was fairly happy with the size and no bugs so far. So what is the go to distro for base image for containers these days? Ubuntu-minimal?

For context, when Clinton said this in 2020 it was known that:

- The FBI was investigating Trump at the same time they were investigating Clinton, but kept silent about it while making her investigation widely known. Trump later committed criminal obstruction of justice into that investigation and was let off the hook due to his immunity as President.

- Trump's campaign manager was handing internal campaign data to Russian operatives, the very same ones who hacked her campaign, and lied about it.

- Trump committed criminal campaign finance violations in the run up to the 2016 election for which his attorney was convicted and sentenced to 3 years in prison, but for which Trump himself wasn't due to his immunity as President.

So yeah, maybe she has a right to say "There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level".

Yes wealth can be turned into power, but you know what already is power? Political power. Wealth is a counterpoint to political power. This is why communist systems become authoritarian, because there is no counterpoint to the power of the politburo.

> the price of milk hasn’t skyrocketed over the years, as farmers haven’t been able to pull the same market abuse that the gas companies do?

To the degree milk is price regulated in America, it is with respect to a minimum price [1]. We subsidise exports to raise the price of milk.

Gas is competitively extracted and competitively refined. The price is high because crude surged and we don’t have many refiners and nobody in the West wants to invest in production because there is a good chance it will be banned or supertaxed soon. Broadly speaking, any time you think the reason for gasoline’s price movement is conspiracy, apart from OPEC, you’re probably wrong.

Developer here. When I started studying deep learning and realized that the datasets that I wanted to learn on didn't exist. The more I looked at it, the more I realized what a constraint not having data was.

I started building an image cleaning tool, it evolved over time into a labeling tool. That got its first trial at an employer where I used it to run custom Mechanical Turk tasks. Then after experiencing the pain of mturk, iterated on it to be a stand alone tool. A lot of the features were my wish list from working with labeling contractors.

MekaBytes is now live as a labeling site. My vision is that people will be able to come together and contribute to datasets that they care about, similar to subreddits. Rather than them getting abandoned after the creator finishes their PhD or funding runs out, they'll get to live on and others can contribute and improve them over time.

Anyway, it's still early so feedback is very appreciated! Next up on my TODO list are comment notifications to make collaboration smoother.

$30 and even less is not uncommon for an older, slightly scuffed up, used phone. Or maybe you already have one, laying far back in your desk's drawer. Not a kind of phone most people would use as a daily driver. But as a dedicated bank-app thing - sure, why not.

Just don't connect it to untrusted wifi, disable bluetooth and all that. Chances are - that phone had its last OS update years ago, and could be pretty easily pwned [0]

> I couldn’t believe the first time I saw the sad smiley blue screen. It seemed like such a ridiculous thing for Microsoft to have done.

What's much worse is that it shows the screen for all of three seconds before automatically rebooting (at least for some errors), so you need to go through at least two or three boot cycles just so you can read the goddamn fucking error message. I used Windows for the first time in over a decade last week and had some issue with the disk, and it just kept rebooting and I had to quickly snap a picture so I could read the message because by the time I could orient myself on the screen it was too late. I cannot comprehend how anyone thought this would be a good idea. I cannot even comprehend how someone could comprehend it. :( indeed.
For a while the NSA was using OpenStack + CentOS + SELinux in at least some environments. I have no idea if they are still using the hardcore bare-bones SELinux that does not have targeted (MLS-only) and unconfined policies. I'd buy them a few rounds of drinks if they are still subjecting themselves to that. I also have no idea if they are still using CentOS after CentOS-8 Stream happened. I believe their focus was compartmentalization, documentation and strict change control.

I have no idea what the CIA is using.

What I would do is probably something similar to what the NSA is/was doing and include multiple certified 3rd party code reviewers and penetration testers that would not just look for bugs and vulnerabilities but also vulnerable platform concepts, i.e. anything that lends itself to Instrumental Convergence [1]. I would ensure all hardware is using CoreBoot BIOS/firmware and have teams pentest that code. I would hire teams of document writers to ensure everything is documented and has the correct security classification annotations. I would also hire investigation firms to look into everyone that has ever contributed code to OpenStack and RHEL/CentOS. I would require IBM/Redhat to de-obfuscate any obfuscated code and use an NSL to order them to provide technical details on any undocumented weaknesses or intentional lawful intercept code. I would have them also contribute to the upstream kernel more sysctl and /sys tunables that can improve anti-tampering and prevent changing capabilities on the fly. I would also use NSL's to get the firmware of all hardware in the servers. Any applications used by the organization would also have to be retrofitted with instrumentation that can be monitored real time by machine learning to determine if anything suspect is afoot. The monitoring would use short dictionary coded signals vs. verbose English to reduce transmission time, being entirely documented in the man pages.

I would ensure that change control while strict would also be semi-agile in that one could make changes quickly if they, their supervisors and their peer reviewers have the appropriate security clearances. Their security clearance would map to one or more security levels and categories in SELinux. If they are DENIED then security guards would rush into the room with cans of silly string, assuming that is still a thing.

I would repeat the entire process non stop and ensure any fixes are implemented up-stream so that all businesses may also benefit from improvements and full transparency.

There are many more things that would have to be done but I don't think even a summary would fit on HN.

I actually used Copilot in neovim and it works well (because the VS Code Copilot does not work in the open source VS Code build)
About 15 years ago, I purchased a hardcover copy of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, published in 1946. Inside the cover was the following inscription:

Ambassador Douglas (in pencil)

Geyelin,
4511 Cath. Ave. N.W. (in pen)

Intrigued, I started researching the names and dates. Here's what I pieced together.

In 1947, Philip L. Geyelin, then working at the Wall Street Journal, gave the book as a gift to Lewis Williams Douglas, who had recently become the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. (Geyelin had joined the Journal in 1946 and probably would have known the book's author, Henry Hazlitt, who was also at the Journal at that time.) My hunch is that the book was given to influence Douglas's thinking about economic policies that should be adopted to restore the UK and Europe after World War II.

As it turned out, Douglas was instrumental to the passage and implementation of the Marshall Plan.
