Hmm, I'm looking for a Keybase replacement but one of the main reasons I use Keybase is their native apps that let you mount the cloud storage as a FUSE or FUSE-like (Dokan) native storage device.

This is great for distributing encrypted keychains/configuration files and the such across various platforms (where many apps are not cloud-aware but are happy interacting with the filesystem). So far the "mount" approach seems to have also performed considerably better than syncing-based services (dropbox, G drive, OneDrive etc.) which from time to time have resulted in hard to untangle merge errors.

Peergos looks promising but it also looks to be a web-only service, so not exactly a replacement yet. Would be nice to see an option for local native mounting. Preferably via a native app with a FUSE-like mount point, but I'd also probably be OK with something like WebDAV maybe.
My parents are boomers and frequently talk about the 2020s being 70s dejavu. My father entered his 20s in in 1968, and the tail end of his 20s in a deep recession and purchased a modest home in 1976 at a blistering 14% on 30 year fixed. His experience in the Midwest did not match with the assertions in the article.

This is only pragmatic if you accept the first order assumption that they must use GCP. Which, maybe it's the case for a dev at Discord, but it's a somewhat idiosyncratic choice to call pragmatic. Seems like a lot of developer time and GCP charges to overcome limitations of GCP and wind up with something that's far more brittle than just running your databases on real hardware.
Alright, then RISC-V?
I have recently realized that meaning really boils down to fixed points. So does essentially all of math, physics, probability, optimization, and a superset of computation.

Thanks for your tips. If it's that easy then yeah maybe. I would like to do more with fido2. And keycloak is indeed complex.

I believe this depends on some blockchain, and you can't move forward without a consensus from a majority of nodes.

I wonder if you saw the update to the article in the discussion you linked? The attacker was a software engineer who worked at Ubiquiti. I think it's fair to criticize any internal controls that allowed a single engineer to have this amount of access, but from other discussions[1] it sounds like he was unique in this organization.

How do large P/E ratios impact salaries?
Thank you for this explanation, any reason why you didn't pick a more popular strongly type language like C# or Java ?

Did Ada invent the type system? To be completely honest, I really struggle with lower level languages.

> insane P/E ratios became the norm and maintaining them is harder when you’re raising salaries

P/E is the inverse of earnings yield. It varies with rates. So 2% -> 1% equity yield means a doubling of P/E. But framed as a yield shift it looks less dramatic (and more familiar).

I feel this also describes how discourse usually plays out online for some reason. A lot of this is subconscious of course, we try to rationalise our instincts, but it's difficult to prevent instincts from becoming confirmation bias and undermine our reasoning.

I've certainly felt this way when it becomes blatantly obvious that I'm wrong, yet I argued with such reason... probably embarrassingly so if I search through enough of my HN comments.

Yeah I agree, when I said 'large enough scales' I was referring to the amount of deficit spending in a fixed time, not how long that spending lasts.

One thing to remember here is that the only reason for us to even tax is to reduce the deficit. If we didn't care about the deficit we could just eliminate all taxes and make 100% of government spending deficit spending.
One thing jumps out in my mind. I think of the 2000s as being the decade in which tech companies that survived the dot com bust turned into tech giants. And these companies would go on to rack up market caps that broke historical records. I remember everyone was sort of in awe of the numbers and generally had a pretty positive sentiment towards the success. However, I'm not sure I can craft a really clear narrative that connects this back to stagnant wages. But it seems related. Perhaps in the sense that large corporations like the tech giants seemed to be free to monopolize and suck up all the money without allowing it to circulate in the economy.

The tech giants may have just been a particular touch stone in a long trend of increased, unchecked corporatization of US business. Perhaps that culminated in a kind of phase transition that took place in the 2000s.

But there's another interesting detail to that chart which is that wages appear to be back on track since 2010 and have trended upward pretty sharply since then compared to the 2000s. If the slope of the wage line is to be believed (and were to continue), we'd be in pretty good shape in another decade or so. So, to play devil's advocate, perhaps it's wrong to look sideways at some of the big players in the space right now. I don't know. Not an economist.
That's true, however if the majority of movies are like that, most people will watch them, shifting movie culture toward this kind of movies. Sure, niches could form, but given a movie requires a lot of money, that's really hard. Besides action/blockbuster movies, also so called "artistic" movies are generally worse in quality than the past (I don't think this is just nostalgia). One related thought: doesn't make sense that every year someone has to win an oscar. There should be years without a winner at all. That's not allowed, so winning an oscar doesn't really set a quality goal but it's bounded by a year timeframe

As a gamedev that tried shipping to linux, we really need some standardized minimized image to target with ancient glibc and such, and some guarantees that if it runs on the image that it runs on future linux versions.
Translation is not exclusively a salaried job. Most translators in the fields I'm familiar with (games and manga) are freelance contractors, and most are getting paid by the word/page, not a yearly salary.

ML has depressed the rates those people earn. It's been good for the demand for editors though since they need to pay someone to fix the DeepL output up so they can release it.
People sometimes point out how cheap things like TVs or computers are now, but they're such different scales of cost. In the 90s, a decent computer might run you a few thousand $. A house now costs hundreds of thousands more than it did back then. The savings in commodities isn't making up for rising costs in housing, education, energy, etc.
The Prototype Maturity Model
If you've ever built software I'm sure you've been asked "Why'd you do X and not Y!?", to which you must go through the whole history of the project and explain why you made that decision.

After running into this issue at multiple companies, I developed the Prototype Maturity Model for evaluating a software prototype. It is intended to be used as a working document for teams that are taking a software prototype from its inception, to mass adoption. This can be used for teams building internal tools, SaaS companies building a new platform, or any team that must make tough decisions when trying to get innovative ideas developed rapidly.

With PMM, you can point people to the project's evaluation history. Without detailing each and every decision, the PMM will give stakeholders the information they need to understand the project history, and easily identify areas they may want to focus their effort in improving the prototype as a whole.

Let me know what you think HN.
Sounds like a timeshare.
Is it really a problem to bubble up that error (and kill the database server) if you can just bring up a new database server with a clean cache (potentially even on the same computer without rebooting it) instantly? (I have been doing this kind of thing using bcache over a raid array of EBS drives on Amazon for around a decade now, and I was surprised you were so concerned about those read failures so heavily to forgo the LRU benefits when to me your solution sounds absolutely brutal for needing a complete copy of the remote disk on the local "cache" disk at all times for the RAID array to operate at all, meaning it will be much harder to quickly recover from other hardware failures.)
I think its odd a cohort (me basically) had the golden years, between the one before which had to live through postwar rebuild and industrial conflict, and the ones we leave our somewhat blasted legacy to, refusing to die, spending the inheritance.

I don't entirely feel good about this outcome. I am pretty sure higher taxation may be necessary, a return to the state, not the free market. But in the UK and Australia, older voters are holding this back. It's impossible absent revolution to change without waiting for my cohort and older.. to die.
that’s fair. If you’re a grey haired old school Unix wiz who’s one of a handful of devs on the team I’d say by all means. But at a certain point technology choice is an organizational problem as well.

And while it sounds Unixy to let wget do its thing, a fully baked program like that is much less “do one thing and do it well” than the http utilities in general purpose programming languages.
2 years I think? But there was more pressure being applied in the media. I remember multiple articles like this one (0) that circulated at the time.

Heyoo! I'm Codedgar, the creator of Puppertino!

The project hasn't been abandoned for over a year, it's just that my life has been very busy these days, I've been working on a new version for a while, just haven't found the time nor inspiration to work on this.

I don't wanna go onto details with my relationship with Fractal technologies. They seemed like cool people but I really never had the opportunity to expand Puppertino with them.

I've seen a lot of people throwing shade at them, and I was planning on removing their sponsor once the next version appeared, but I will do a quick commit to remove them ASAP. Puppertino never really took benefits with my short relationship with Fractal, and everything Fractal related is their own and not related to Puppertino since last year.
To be fair, most (the vast majority) of people I know in gen z I know works significantly less hard than my parents did, I did, etc.

Those who do work hard are fairly well off. They work two jobs, didn’t go to college, but own their homes and have a steady income.

There’s definitely systemic issues, but work ethic is the major issue. And that’s a cultural issue.

Would you want the gen z you know building your house? I know some that I would, but not many.

Are they giving out trials without an invite now? I was invited from someone who was paying, became addicted by the end of my trial, subscribed for a month, then gave out invites to friends, some of which ended up also paying - not a bad business model! It was bad timing though, the day after I joined, I discovered Disco Diffusion and haven't stopped rendering since (roughly 10k images rendered, mostly for animations). It takes longer, the results are often less realistic compared to Midjourney, Dall-E (1/2) or Stable Diffusion (which I've been toying with for a few weeks), but it's somehow much more satisfying having to wait xx minutes for a render to complete, running on your own local PC, not having to use bots with 1000 other people in a channel spamming their prompts, and having TONS of parameters to play around with. I have a google drive full of docs from my own studies, comparing parameter values, models, prompts, etc. I'm really looking forward to Stable Diffusion releasing their models, I know VoC will add those models as soon as they are available. On top of that, VoC has been adding support for diffusion models (of which I'm training my own), but there are new ones added constantly as more and more people build models for e.g. pixel art, medieval style, monochromatic, etc.

Also the results vary drastically if you have enough VRAM to load more models e.g. a 3090 (24GB) or an A6000 (48GB). I've been saving money and waiting impatiently for 4090s to drop. Check out the Disco Diffusion or VoC Discord - people post their works in there and often you will see results that make you wonder if they're cheating ;)
How about going on strike, unionizing etc. to get the 30 days off that are normal in tech in (parts of) Europe? I know for sure for example that 30 days is the usual everyone gets in most tech companies in Germany. Heck the minimum by law that even a cashier at the supermarket gets is 21 days.

I know, very un-American to even think of that.

It's so funny (actually, mind-boggling) when you first hear about how time off works in lots of North American companies. You get 10 days and then with tenure you get one more day per year. If you're working for a "good" company, you might start with 15 and get 1 per year. But always only up to a max, e.g. after 5 years of tenure, that's it, no more extra days.

And the excuses and explanations employees make for this are mind-boggling. Like "yeah this makes total sense, you wouldn't want to give a recent-grad the same time off as someone with more experience" and such. To which I can just only reply: Why not?

I've never thought about this problem until now. Now that I see it, it makes total sense one would want to monitor those packages for changes.

What surprises me is that there seems to be no other way than hacking (cutting, grepping, etc.) each package separately. I wonder how this is handled in machines that use a lot of MISC packages (other than pulling+building every time to automatically have the latest version)?

Also, kudos on the acronym :)

You're just referring to known opportunities. The fun starts with unknown chances and specifically infinities. If time is infinite, anything that can happen eventually will happen, right here. If space extends infinitely beyond the observable universe, anything that can happen is happening somewhere (an infinite number of somewheres) right now. No, people approach this question from a far more skeptical position than they should.
They pretend that because have only 6 SKUs is because they have “high quality” premium products.

But the high quality part lacks credibility.

For only 6 SKUs, they should be able to perform better quality control & testing than this.
Not just a mirror but a specific setup of the mirror where it does its best to only write to one of the mirror devices, unless the other starts reporting read errors. This way they don't lose data, errors get handled gracefully and they can still snapshot the high latency disks for replication/migration tasks. That write-mostly feature was not something I was aware existed but it sounds absolutely perfect for a lot of use cases.
It's a result of skyrocketing corporate profit margins and plunging corporate tax share leading to a massive consolidation of wealth among a very, very small number of people.

> These organizations retain ownership of the land, have a charter that's targeted at keeping housing affordable (or some related mission), lease out land on very long terms (like 99 years) with contracts that place limitations on resale of any improvements on the land.

This is similar to a co-op where the land is owned by the building as a whole.

You can't get away from the problem that if you price something under the market price, you'll get a lot of people who want to live there. How do you choose who lives there? Lottery? There's a huge incentive by the people deciding to self-deal.

Even then, it's still not efficient. For instance suppose the market price is $200k and you give it away to someone who really needs it for $100k, you just essentially gave them $100k. But they have to accept that benefit in form of housing. Perhaps they would prefer to live in a home worth $150k and get $50k in cash for groceries or school or whatever else?

And once they're there they won't want to give up the benefit. They're essentially getting something for nothing. Anyone who grew up in a city with rent control can tell you stories about people they know exploiting the system.

All these efforts to control price are like trying to control global warming with new thermometer designs. The price is a signal of larger economic issues. The only reasonable solution I've found is allowing people to build more.
Thanks for the info that's exactly what I thought the recovery process should be.
Node failure isn't bad until it's a cascading catastrophe :)

But by bad I meant when a Node is based on local disks, that Cassandra and ScyllaDB usually recommends.

Depending on the time between snapshots and the restore from snapshot process (if there are even snapshots...) can be problematic.

Bootstrapping nodes from zero depending on the cluster size (Big data nodes while not recommended are pretty common) could take days in Cassandra because the streaming implements was (maybe still is?) very bad
There's always a golden job in the era.

Back in the 2000s in Canada, you could make 350k/y driving a truck in the oil fields with 0 education.

Software engineers are just the new golden job of this era. Even then, it's still considerably harder and has a higher bar of entry than driving a truck.

Oh, you're correct. There are plenty of people with Spanish backgrounds and no of very little indigenous heritage who look European. It's worth noting perhaps that as far back as Spanish colonial times, people of mixed heritage were disadvantaged compared to their more European relatives.
I'd attribute it more to the fact that zoomers are mostly just finishing high school or in uni right now. While boomers mostly left school early to jump directly in to a job. Give it 10 years and see if the education pays off.
I don't think this would pass much scrutiny, but I suppose you could have a situation where a small number of people that own a large number of shares in a variety of companies could become a monopolistic unified force that could put downward wage pressures on entire industries.
