> When Docker had the temerity to introduce limits for free users pulling containers from DockerHub, or requiring a subscription for large business users, lots of people started complaining and/or looking for a free alternative.

To me, this feels almost inevitable for any service that might need to provide lots of storage to its users. It's actually kind of surprising how expensive most cloud storage is.

Personally, I just migrated over to having my own Nexus instance for all of my container images, with custom cleanup policies (e.g. dev repository is purged every week, prod one has a different policy), as well as there's the obligatory proxy repository that acts as a cache for pulling things from Docker Hub or elsewhere. Currently it's hosted in a VPS with a HDD, though if I need even more storage, I'll just move over to my homelab with more HDDs, which are way more cost effective than renting lots of space, even with smaller local providers.

Of course, for many it will be infinitely more cost effective (e.g. when they don't want a learning experience) to just pay Docker Hub or another provider to use their managed container registry. That might not always be viable when planning things for an enterprise setting, though, which is when this knowledge about self-hosting and on-prem deployments might come in handy.

> Now, GitLab is making changes to its free tier and may zap inactive repositories or repos that are too large.

In my eyes, that's probably the same problem and honestly the idea of purging data that nobody has accessed for a while seems like the logical outcome.

Let's take this argument to the extreme, just for fun - what would happen if GitLab would store this data in perpetuity (assuming the company survives)? Would we end up with 100 year old repositories by people whose descendants will manage them? Or, you know, a bit of a graveyard?

> When CentOS moved from a direct clone of RHEL 8 to the CentOS Stream model, hordes of people raised virtual torches and pitchforks because they were no longer able to run a freebie RHEL clone.

Here, I think there is more nuance. I think the thing that upset the community was not that CentOS was killed off (in its previous free-RHEL-alternative sense), but rather that the EOL was changed. Instead of announcing that CentOS 8 will be supported until its approximate EOL of 2034 (since most other releases were supported for ~10 years), instead they changed it to 2021, just 2 years after release.

Even CentOS 7 will outlive it, its life span being 2014-2024. So many enterprise deployments went wrong because of this choice and people were understandably upset. Moreso, there weren't really that many alternatives to it with a similar reputation: Rocky Linux took time to get up to speed, Alma Linux isn't quite as widely trusted and many would prefer not to use Oracle Linux for certain reasons.

Alas, it was a bit of a mess, especially when you are in circumstances where nobody will feasibly pay for RHEL but want something like it.
I read her book "Looking for Trouble" on the Spanish Civil War about 10 years ago and one thing I remember was her account of anarchist platoons that would fight without any kind of military hierarchy. It was only mentioned in passing, and apparently they were quickly defeated but it always impressed me how loyal someone would have to be to an ideology to do something like that. I wish I could find a book entirely on that subject.
There's got to be a Video Toaster joke around here somewhere, but I can't find it.

Aren't most anti aircraft missiles heat seeking? Could also be a reason why 60% of the engine energy need to go into creating heat. Otherwise cheap gas engine drones that can't be intercepted and can fly thousand of miles could be really dangerous.
Much of what we do now can and was done on older machines, in fact we off-load much more to the "cloud" than we did then.

But time moves forward and driver support is often removed (if not from the kernel, then from the distro).

If you install headless and are willing to compile your own kernel and deal with some configuration fun, you can probably get most anything to run.

I suspect half the distros that "failed" could be made to work with some fiddling in the BIOS or changing kernel command line options (which I remember doing even back then).
I can't comment on Podman specifically, but Red Hat's approach to the projects that they choose to focus on in the "Red Hat ecosystem" seems to be to just do development in upstream first and then whoever is working on the distros packages it for Fedora and/or RHEL. I don't see why they should put resources into packaging in their upstream projects; it doesn't seem to me that they're hostile to other distros packaging their software.

Packaging is a distro problem, not an upstream one, though upstreams should of course work with distro maintainers to make packaging frictionless.
Yeah, that's covered very clearly in the article: "Dad’s been generous to share what he does each day with us all. But let me be clear: all of the standard caveats apply to his approach. This is NOT necessarily a prescription for a healthy life."

Telling a story is important, I agree with that.

I didn't see my number one piece of advice, which is to tell them how the thing brings value to the company. They don't care if your button functions really well, they care that the old button was preventing people from completing checkout, and that problem has been solved.

My number two piece of advice is to present way less information than you want to. A small fraction. They don't want all that context, they want a clear story that looks like the SCQA model given in the article.

Also, they live in a world where people project confidence, not a world where people present both sides and talk about the uncertainties of both. Often this confidence is unwarranted, but that is utterly beside the point. While the real world is full of uncertainty, what most executives want to hear is "I have the solution to this problem, and I can make it happen".

If you work for a company where software is not a core function the explanation you posted will sound like an alarming number of dollars to your executives.

The problem these days is everyone wants great software (big tech impostor syndrome) without splurging on software talent like big tech. That’s the sweet spot low code companies target when marketing.

Graphical coding is bad in general. It’s not just paid products. I’ve had the misfortune of using Apache NiFi - which is “low code data movement”.
Anecdotally, most of my family members who actively tried to stay healthy died relatively early (< 70 years). Those who didn't usually lived to be at least 85. My grandfather, who never did any type of sports, ate meat every day, who came home after worked and watched TV until bedtime and who drank 1-2 liters of cider per day after retirement died at 92 and was completely healthy up until a few hours before his death.
I was watching Netflix Swiss familiy Robinson-in-space thing, and they had like a giant product placement showing of how big the package of Oreos they had brought with them was.

It was both distracting, annoyning and an ad in all but name. You would still call it an ad if the characters in the show also acted in the commercial, right?
Sorry - sarcasm isn't the best spirit of Hacker News curiosity. I should've found a kinder way to indicate that the grandparent comment was about all services, not specific to Netflix.
What do you mean? The amount of improvements in standard ICE engines are mind-blowing. The fuel efficiency and power they manage these days is insane. You’re quoting that 60% figure and neglecting that most of the losses from that are thermodynamic and mechanical losses at transfer points that can’t really be overcome. At some point you have to lose some heat along the way.
I think no, since usually the condition for each Business process state is usually complex, which no code / low code won't help much and is usually worse on performance compared to native implementation.
It’s not that hard to get a provisional patent. And like it or not the USPTO is a vital institution for incentivizing innovation and driving growth.
I disagreed with him at the time. Found the book to be a thought provoking and enjoyable read.

Over time, I have had success applying many of the ideas in the book. Small enterprises remain a place where the trends can be pushed back and more out of the way. Doing that makes for great customer relationships, high value communication and work being fun, even when it's responding to someone having trouble with the product and or service.
> If they aren't free parameters then why do we assign arbitrary dark matter content and distribution to galaxies like the bullet cluster/ultradiffuse galaxies with "too much/almost no/no DM" to "make it work out"?

Something has to explain why galaxies aren't all exactly the same right? Whatever other theory out there will have some "free parameters" that explain that difference won't they? The observable matter differs, why shouldn't dark matter?

I think you're being really cynical about the scientific process here. The process is a new observation comes along that's a bit out of line with the norm and scientists look at the parameters and see if Dark Matter is still a candidate to explain it. Do you think it's unrealistic to assume that different galaxies might have different amounts of dark matter (should it exist)? They have different amounts of observable matter. If there was some galaxy that just didn't make sense by just adding some arbitrary amount of dark matter, it'd put a real damper on the theory but that hasn't happened yet. As of today, the only thing that seems "off" about galaxies is the amount of gravity which is very simply explained by adding in some amount dark matter.

I think my intuition of that is probably the same as your, that it seems kind of ridiculous to just add some invisible matter to the equation but it does actually do a really good job of explaining a few different phenomenon. I suspect the process for the acceptance of dark matter initially began as a "these galaxies are behaving _as if_ they had more matter" and a lot of people trying to explain why that might be to no avail until they kind of just accepted that maybe there just _is_ more matter that we don't see. At least that's how it's been for me. I'm still holding out some kind of hope/expectation that there's a better theory out there that actually explains dark matter/energy in a more satisfactory way.

Last summer I bought my 80-year-old father a bicycle. Just a few weeks later, his doctor said, "last time I saw you, you were pre-diabetic, now your readings look great. Whatever you're doing, keep doing that."

Unfortunately he didn't keep up, kept complaining about the seat being uncomfortable… what I eventually figured out is, he was riding in boxer shorts >_<
Of course - the hypothetical emergency fund is great. The problem is the required amounts are rapidly growing.

An emergency fund of 10k barely covers the 8k average deductible for a family. Ignoring things like rent, food, etc, all rapidly increasing.

To have a worthwhile emergency fund is too costly for most americans. Might as well finance a car - it won't matter.
>years-long grinding stalemate

Fortunately, the facts on the ground indicate otherwise. Russia's losses in materiel and men are unsustainable and no match for surviving Ukraine's frequent resupply of western military donations. How much more blood and treasure he wastes is really up to Putin, but there's no way he can sustain the losses as his paper tiger turns to ashes.
> This is a weird indirection to introduce: of course it’s fashionable. The observation is that it’s fashionable because aggression is itself fashionable, at least to the target market.

People in this thread keep dancing around it but I think nobody has outright said it yet. Maybe it's as simple as: aggressive, belligerent truck styling is uniquely fashionable in America because American culture is getting more and more aggressive and belligerent. Maybe I'm browsing too much r/PublicFreakout, but in the last few years, there's been a visible rise in road rage, people berating service workers, belligerent angry protesting, people trashing businesses over minor transgressions, people losing their shit on airliners, and so on. The public is turning into "that guy in the bar constantly looking for a fight." It shouldn't be surprising that trucks styled such that they look like they're about to bludgeon you are more and more fashionable. Admittedly, this is more of a political statement based on anecdotes than one that comes out of research and data, but hey, this is HN, not Nature.

It's also very actively developed and contributions are always welcome. As far as I looked at it, the codebase is rather approachable.
WinXP probably should feel weird in that it's life is exactly in your range for retro. The original release was 2001, so over 20 years, but service pack 3 was 2008, 14 years ago. And EOL for extended support was 2014, and if memory serves they even pushed out a couple patches after for big vulnerabilities. You could even edit the registry and pretend to be XP embedded to get more updates.

It was a long lived OS which is why it's debatable.
In a nutshell (I have been in Cybersecurity for 18 years...) one key aspect of cybersecurity is to centralize all logs of security (and a few other tools) in a central repository and use that data to identify threats through rules, correlation, ML, analytics or any other means (SIEM space). Also compliance requirements...

Basically every vendor has its own formats, fields and the way to centralize this data (syslog still rules...) and parse it in a common way (a source IP is a source IP in all tech) has been a pain point since forever. There is basically a whole industry around it, and a whole bunch of logstash parsers have been scarificed. Even better is that vendors have a tendency to change format once in a while, so even some you have will break way more often then they should. Many vendors dont see that as an issue as it locks their clients in.

This is another attempt at solving this. It does seem to have traction for once, and nobody wants to piss off Amazon, if they make this a prerequesite to be on their marketplace then it will actually work.

Only "avgas" which is basically the same stuff we used to put in cars and is running the same sort of engines, a piston engine, driving a propeller roughly the same way your car engine turns the wheels. Most little things, from smaller airports.

JetA, which is basically kerosene (still terrible, don't drink it - but at least it doesn't have lead in it) is used by all the jet engines. That includes lots of things a casual observer wouldn't think of that way. A King Air, or a C-130, they've got propellers, but that's a turboprop engine, the propeller is spinning because there's a turbine behind it, and instead of kicking hot fast air out the back (like an A320) it's using that energy for turning the propeller really fast.

Yes. As technology progresses, in general, we tend to create and move up into new layers of abstraction. This is one of them.

At the same time, "traditional" software development isn't going anywhere soon. In the short to medium term it may even become more valuable and sought after because an increasing number of technically minded people will enter the market at this new level of abstraction and never learn traditional software development at all.
> If his motor continues to perform with high speed and efficiency, he says he’ll move forward with the patenting process.

Is it a wise move? Shouldn't he just file a patent application instantly? (It is not a kind of a sarcasm or something. I really do not know, and I'd like to hear from people experienced with patent applications.)
> How do we know who is "objectively right"?

I don't think we have enough information about OP's situation to say for sure. I agree that many disputes are highly subjective, and there's no way to say who's objectively right. But I also think there are cases where, after listening and understanding both sides, it's pretty clear which side has a better argument.

Objective reality does exist! People are sometimes bad at judging what's objective, especially when emotions run high; but it's not impossible. And, if the question is important, then finding the objectively correct answer is better for the success of the project.
Obviously true.

However there is a long path from first getting the idea of a rewrite to actually undertaking it. And the conversation in question happened because the manager had just read an article about such a rewrite, so it was very early in that journey.
Side note: since memory leaks were deemed safe, there are easier ways to deliberately leak than using reference cycles. The most straightforward are `mem::forget` and `Box::leak`.
Hah, that's a fair point. Whenever someone tries to figure out how to store files, I'm usually inclined to just point them in the direction of S3 to attempt to at least minimize some of the eventual issues of dealing with files.

You know, even MongoDB GridFS or binary blobs in RDBMSes could be less problematic options, rather than dealing with inodes, maximum file path lengths, file name constraints, storing metadata, maximum files in a directory and eventually having to build a system for having a tree of nested folders to work around those (a bit like what Ruby on Rails ActiveStorage does with uploaded files out of the box, for example).
