Very nice, this is almost exactly the kind of thing I wanted to have to create a higher level build tool (make files are IMO pretty terrible as a declarative language for building, but perhaps a good low level primitive to use to build systems like Bazel on top of). The only problem is the dependency on a fresh Linux feature (ported from OpenBSD if I understand correctly)... my ultimate goal was to have a Landlock thing that works on all OSs, but that may be really hard as not many languages abstract the file system away so that this can be implemented in the application-level (Dart has support for abstracting away the file system, and I was trying to use that, but it doesn't seem to support that kind of thing when running processes).

I suspect this should also make things like Nix and Guix easier... or maybe lighter-version of them easier as you don't need to implement the build sandox anymore when building software if you use Landlock Make.
It can be done on Windows, but not how Bazel would want to do it.

Basically, the sandbox has to be in the interpreter. And I guess I should be clear that it still won't be be as good as on Linux.

By the way, what's this "POSIX compatible sandbox"? chroot? That's not POSIX compatible.

> should nix try to intercept the syscall for this when it happens

Yes, this is exactly how it should work, imho.
That's a great feature.

When I got a new HP laptop with USB-C charging a few years back, I hoped it would support that, too. It didn't. My current one doesn't, either.
Well TSMC does do the 'state of the art' yes.

I'm guessing they have some less modern stuff. Maybe.

But. BUT.

UMC is kinda an unsung player here to some extent. They are another Taiwanese Fab, and do a lot of the older process stuff.

I'm guessing that whatever plans Taiwan's government has for TSMC Facilities in a Kobayashi Maru scenario with China, UMC probably gets some version of it as well.

Lets also assume that if things get to that state with Taiwan/China, at minimal we'd probably have a larger embargo against China (another source of such chips) and there's a possibility of trade disruption with other Asian players like South Korea.

Does Cosmopolitan's Landlocking work on anything besides Linux? By definition, that cannot be the case because Landlock is a Linux thing.

Cosmopolitan is portable, yes, but this sandboxing is not.

> It was the first time it occurred to me that I had an accent.

As a non-native speaker, it's funny to me that some people think they don't have an accent. An accent is just the way you talk, if you speak, you have an accent.

What everyone seems to think an accent is, is "this person has a different accent from mine, therefore they have an accent".

It's like seeing a blond person for the first time in your life and saying "it never occurred to me I had a hair color".

Having just installed Debian 11xfce on a Dell Intel i5 laptop, and fighting with the power applet crashing b/c power manager fails to start, I'm having flashbacks to 20 years ago with the same problems. Still having to add nomodeset to grub for the screen to work has been stopping people from using linux for 20 years.

Seriously, if a fresh install won't boot, how's a newbie not going to feel overwhelmed. For those same 20 years, people have been saying to me ( even IT people ) that they'd like to try linux but don't have the time to troubleshoot everything. Even if they sink a few hours into getting the screen to work, laptops still burn through the battery and they go back to Windows since they use it on battery.

I use both Windows and linux, and with Windows quality crashing, people keep proclaiming the year of linux. But there's still a long way to improve linux before it gets as good as poor quality Windows.

We as humans tend to ask WHO MADE IT first and then the next question about a new product/invention and then move forward being oblivious to the fact that every invention from agriculture to insulin wasn't made by a single person. Even things like a voltaic cell and an incandescent bulb was not invented by a single person. Humans are social creatures so human inventions also have to be made by a group of people. I don't know if me transitioning into being an adult and learning that adults aren't as perfect as I thought them to be when I was 12-13 makes me feel kinda negative about Homo sapiens as a whole.

Edit : looks like I just went off-topic down a rabbit hole lol
> What I'd recommend for anyone really, is to just do what Google did. For the first decade and a half of Google's company lifecycle, they got along just fine with GNU Make. Then they switched to the huge scalable thing once they actually reached that inflection point.

Hopefully as a community we can build things that are scalable and as-simple-as Make. I think please.build is a step in the right direction but still too complicated.
In the more philosophical sense I think you're right. I've been using NixOS for 2 years now on all my machines* but I still don't know the language.

I use it as a stable base system, but when I need to do something that I'm unable to do with Nix I still drop into a $DISTRO container and do my work there where everything is stateful and "disgusting".

Having worked with DevOps for awhile I can happily tell you that we don't run around building Docker containers all days, at least in my team the developers do so. We provide them with a base to build upon, provide CI and stateful services like databases and storage.

I spend an awful lot of time writing Terraform and Helm charts though, since things needs to run somewhere.

But yes, the immutable nature of Nix is great. Nix was VERY helpful for me when I switched GPU's from NVIDIA to AMD on my desktop, no screen? Reboot, reconfigure, retry.

But yes, I agree. Something that resembles Nix will take over the computing world, as someone said somewhere in the comments of this post. The great thing about Nix is that when you fix something it stays fixed. Even if it was a PITA to get there.
I've tried numerous headsets and find the lens distortion / sweet spot to be very annoying. I returned my HP Reverb G2 because I was constantly moving the headset to get the center pin-sharp. If the headset even shifted slightly it was very noticeable. I wish all new headsets would come with a diopter dial so using glasses is a thing of the past.
Nanometer process indicators long ago became more marketing than reality. I was hoping (irrationally, it seems) that when we got down past integer nm readings we’d just let the terminology float, and go to version numbers or something.

Alas, the false geometries march on down to the next unit.
For relatively nearby objects. The parallax used is the apparent angular shift of an object as the earth orbits the sun. The angle gets very small the further an object is and observing it will depend on the resolution of your telescope. In practice we can only use this method for objects within our galaxy or in very nearby galaxies/star clusters.

These measurements are used to calibrate the cosmic distance ladder[0] which lets us get distance estimates for further objects using other methods. The calibration between different methods is still a very active area of research because of the discrepancy between measurements of the Hubble constant based on this ladder compared with the cosmic microwave background radiation.

The whole bluetooth headhones situation is a little ironic.

Us Linux types remember how long it took until the MP3 patents expired for us to stop having to add non-free repos everywhere and being treated as the ugly cousin because we couldn't support such a universal codec out of the box.

Fast forward today, and we're back at square one because everyone and their mother wants some new codec to make bluetooth audio quality suck not so bad. (Bluetooth couldn't do better than SBC out of the box? really?)

The only difference between yesterday and today is that, we Linux folks are much better at quickly enabling support for proprietary codecs out of the box.

At 21 I’ve only recently started asking myself those questions, after having been “pushed” into a coding career due to some strange life circumstances, when I was actually interested in finance and medicine before. When I got promoted to Sr, colleagues going “wow, only 21”, it felt good, and I never even stopped to ask myself if I really wanted it.

In a lot of senses, introspection and thinking hurts; growing hurts, regrets hurt, dreams unfulfilled hurt, guilt hurts, what could’ve been hurt, and the future that awaits you, unless you change something, hurts.

And distraction numbs the pain. Numbs the thoughts. I’ll take an uneducated guess that a big chunk of cases of anxiety and depression are not caused by chemical imbalances, and are simply people’s brains telling them “you’re doing something wrong, correct course! Correct course! Correct course!”. Kind of like the aircraft TCAS/GPWS “Terrain. Pull. Up. Pull. Up. Terrain. Terrain. Terrain”

I guess that most people, both around me and online, never ask themselves those questions, and simply go through life as it happens. For some, that doesn’t go so bad.

Almost never does a successful, happy, fulfilled, healthy life come from a lack of introspection and suffering. “I carry the wounds from the battles I avoided”.

That's my point, all the businesses have bad service now because of this "movement" that penalizes innocent customers instead of pushing for proper unionization and labor laws. I am willing to pay more for better sevice and I can afford it, the employees don't give a shit because it isn't their business.

I would have to be repulsively wealthy and show it off to get good service basically.

Treat others like you want to be treated. Money is not an excuse to be lazy or mistreat others. I don't expect anyone to put up fake smiles and toletate me when I am being rude but I do expect to be treated with best effort service, respect, dignity and politeness. It shouldn't matter if I a hobo or a millionaire either.

I worked at this New Jersey facility when the parking lot solar was installed. The parking availability was only minimally impacted. Base pylons were installed over a period of about a month. That involved condoning off a small section of the lot while a crew cut a four foot square through the asphalt then used an powered auger to quickly excavate for the concrete pour. As I recall the crew completed a couple of those per day. The final installation of mounting structure, panels and electrical connections was done over a number of weekends. There was no trenching involved. As I recall the construction went surprisingly fast. I spoke with one of the building maintenance supervisors a couple of months after completion. He stated they were extremely happy with the power savings and return on investment. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8458928,-74.0970349,3a,75y,1...

All of the above is true, but I want to note that the GP might want to run a "server" (in reality, a third node) so he doesn't have to keep other devices online all the time.

I believe that thwe strangeness there comes in the syntax and conversation flow - or lack thereof. I've met people who speak with the cadence of a comment section in real life, if that makes sense.

In one of the call of duty games, you attend a funeral and when you reach the casket, an onscreen prompt asks you to press F to pay your respects. This took on a life of its own, and now on Reddit threads you’ll see people saying press f to pay respects when someone was figuratively killed.

There seem to be a lot of people interested in learning how to speak with a certain accent. I only really have observations to share about this. I studied linguistics at university in both the US and Germany. I'm a native English speaker. I studied Chinese, Japanese, French, and Spanish to some extent in addition to German and English. I don't consider myself fluent in any, unfortunately, but I can actually sound like a native speaker in any of these languages, when I focus on it.

I've known people who didn't focus on English who still had barely-detectable or undetectable accents, and I've known people who dedicated their lives to learning languages and never lost their accents.

My observation is that there are some people who can hear and imitate easily and naturally, some who can if they focus on it and try hard, and some who probably can't at all. There is a direct correlation with music, I believe. If you can hear a pitch and sing it, there's a good chance you can also imitate a native speaker relatively easily.

I'm not here to discourage anyone though. I tell my children that their brain is just as good as anyone else's. Even though some people are naturally better at certain things than other people, if you work harder than they do, you will be able to exceed them in most cases.

So the final word, the TLDR: practice, practice, practice is the way to learn to speak with or without an accent.
Prompts matter - here, it is interesting to see the cascade of prompts, i.e. from ones you pass to GPT3 to those generated by it.

I also like the topic choice - getting DALLE2 esoteric, dreamy, surreal. I find generating things that do not exist more interesting - as it stretches the limits of AI creativity and imagination.

Yeah, it's a good app that I have used in the past, the issue being I don't know how long I need to block everything for and I might need some of those websites randomly when I end up needing some info and the answer is on reddit etc.

Also lack of scheduling, so every time I have to click to start, I often lose so much time in the morning just browsing before I get to work etc.
It’s literally not. Cameras and ambient light sensors are different things.
> Driving without harming others is a "right."

It is actually not. It is a privilege. You have to earn it and you can lose it. In some states (maybe all?) you agree to this FACT when you get your license.

https://driversed.com/driving-information/the-driving-privil...

> An unlicensed unregistered driver who drives responsibly has done nothing wrong, and anyone stopping that person is a tyrant who has no place in our society.

They're unlicensed because they either didn't take the required training, or lost their license, or perhaps lost significant vision. It is irresponsible for others (such as family) to let them drive.

And regarding the tyrant thing. hyperbole? are you trolling?

Why is it kowtowing? Past taxpayers paid for the roads. The roads are a group thing and have group rules. To use the shared resource, you need to do so safely. The group decided to have agents verify you know how to do them safely. They use licenses and registration as the mechanisms. If you don't agree with the group rules, buy some land and an ATV and drive alone on your own resources without endangering others.

I get libertarian values, but arguing against licenses and registration and calling it tyranny and kowtowing is strange.
This article (and many similar articles often shared on HN) are written as if the target audience are adults. And maybe it is. But there are already plenty of articles about how we spend too much time online, and the effects of social media.

But why aren’t there more articles like this targeting teens, e.g. when — or before — the problem starts?

Language like this:

> irony, post-irony, meta-irony, and whatever-irony are the lingua franca of the terminally online.

makes it clear that this is not written with a general audience in mind.

Are there articles that cover really good points like this in a way that really sinks in for a younger audience, to help them understand the risks and how to recognize the problem before it becomes a deep rooted and/or normalized addiction?

As a parent of teens, it would be nice to find and share articles with them that are written in a way that really sinks in while not coming across as preachy/judgmental.

I used it back in days of 98 and XP. There were things they were going to develop. They were related to search I think. Don't remember. They remained only partially implemented.

Even with those solar cars, it would be better off for them to plug into a larger grid and set of solar panels compared to the small ones built in. The purpose of those small panels is to charge when no charging is available. In this case, if enough current and charge is available (via solar canopies and mains power) then the built in panel is useless.
