Thanks for the clarifications, it's always shocking to see the amount of bullshit on hackernews (and reddit) when it comes to Germany, renewable/nuclear energy and the like. Makes me want to question everything else that is posted here where I know less of. Reminder of the Gell-Mann Amnesia.
Being that Arch is maintained with arch users in mind[0], building an installer for that user base would have to entail a wide range of option for unique use cases because that's whats expected of their users[1]. There isn't a "cop-out" or "plea" to users outside of the community because it was never a goal to appease them.

It's "maintaining an installer is a tedious chore I don't want to do as my hobby." Not elitism, eventually they did attract someone who wanted to maintain an installer as their hobby and now they have archinstall.
I sometimes wonder if all these independent companies who appear to make coordinated technical decisions are just hitting the same frustrations at the same time, or if engineers just read each other's blogs and and then pitch the blog ideas at their meetings. And then write a blog about it, which other engineers at other companies read and pitch at their meeting. So basically it becomes a self-perpetuating meme.
That's kind of the point if containers, isn't it?
> not for music, video, 2FA

how do you deal with 2FA?
I think that kind of computing will become more and more the realm of specialists (devs, computer scientists, whatever) doing their work, with specialized tools and permissions models. For 99.9% of regular people, there is no reason to expose them to so much unnecessary complexity.

Just like with supply pipelines, most people don't need to care or know about information pipelines... they just want to consume the thing they're there to get, whether it's refined petroleum or some unit of information.

All tools are built up from layers of primitives, like a car is made up of components and nuts and bolts and such, but drivers don't need to know or care how its ECU or ICE works. I think the web / mass-market computing is similar... it just doesn't (and I'd argue shouldn't) matter to most people. It's the difference between engineering for other engineers and designing for end-users, two related but ultimately separate concerns.
This reminds me of the evolution of the slot machine (as read in Matthew Crawford's The World Beyond Your Head). A rough analog would be:

1. Medium: Mechanical reel > Digital reel

2. Gameplay: Fixed odds > Adjustable odds > Programmatic adaptive odds

3. Experience: Pull the lever and win or lose > Pull the lever and win even if you lose (e.g. get back change) > Swipe a card and win even if you lose > Swipe a card and watch the game auto-play until you're out of money

After reading that book (in 2014), I made my last Facebook post (the history of the slot machine) and promptly downloaded my data and deleted my account. I'm paraphrasing but Crawford's point was basically that social media is a socio-emotional slot machine.
I tried and it worked. Then I disabled extensions one by one and found the culprit. Firefox is back as my default browser. Feels like I am back home. :D

Ah. I'm old. Somehow traumatic glibc upgrades were not how I expected to find out.
> In India, yes it does family name is derived from caste.

That is not always correct (but is true in most cases). There are caste-neutral names in India - especially Tamil Nadu. But that itself is a hint about the person's caste, since it is adopted mostly by people of the unprivileged caste.
No it doesn't. You are forgetting timezones.

The above poster is correct - supersonics are suboptimal for eastbound, especially when you consider they can only be used at speed over the ocean.

A super sonic flight that leaves JFK at 6PM arrives at 2AM in LHR after 3 hours of flying plus a 5 hour time zone change.

It's much more optimal to take a lie flat seat on a traditional aircraft, get a decent nights sleep on the flight, land at 7AM, shower at the lounge, and charge forth with the day.

My view is that the lie flat bed is really what made supersonic obsolete, and I see Boom as largely a folly.
If you don't want distributed consensus, don't use a distributed consensus algorithm. Raft/paxos is not the best fit for every problem, but for problems where you NEED to ensure consistency, it is the best tool for the job. And while it could have outage problems theoretically, Google's Chubby lock service, written using paxos, has such high availability in it's global instance, that the SRE's introduce artificial mini outages, just so dependent services don't assume it has a 100% SLA.
Perhaps it's possible to have the design meeting with a smaller set of invitees? Does everyone really contribute in the design sessions, or is it mostly people silently listening as a few dominant voices carry the meeting forward?
I think it depends on how you structure your code and your team. RN is mixed into the Facebook apps and they do quite well.

Generally a small team is going to do pure RN, with limited extensions and views. A larger team you really have to know how to split everyone up while still being able to bridge views simply.

JS triggered animations and other native features are performant now via JSI, nowadays most people use react-native-reanimated to achieve this.

I think most of the issues Airbnb had were growing pains of RN and have long been resolved.

You mean "verbose" here, probably?
Fuel cost, depending on routes, number of business seats, seat occupancy is at about 25% of total costs [0]. 75% is what you call epsilon? Aircraft speed as barely budged since we transitioned from turboprop to jets. That's something you could call epsilon.

You're right that they start with business seats because they cost more. Business class seats cost 3-4x time economy while occupying less than 2x the space so the cost of fuel as a percentage of the ticket price is lower. It might not be obvious to you but I'm happy to explain it :)

This reminds me of an old line from Dave Barry, who once observed that men eventually age to the point where they only like one song. I haven't reached that point, but have come to prefer only a few genres (none of which are pop). I'm not entirely stuck in the music I grew up with, but classical, soundtracks and epic music seems to be what I prefer about 90% of the time, and my passion for most other stuff is fading.
I thought the same.

But, it's an interesting thought, and in line with a very interesting thread that kragen brought to my attention: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32009925

FedEx likes to buy out Boeing facilities so that they're not "completely reliant" on Boeing for anything, see https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/102874-fedex-to-take... "Air cargo carrier FedEx Express (FX, Memphis Int'l) is to take over the lease of Boeing's Dreamlifter Operations Centre at Paine Field, Everett, quashing any hopes of a return of the B787 Dreamliner production to Washington State."

I wonder why more airlines don't choose to do similar things.
Hey cheers, I bet I'm around a decade on the same install of Arch too. That spans 3 machines. The trick for me is hot swap backups.
I do an rsync backup of the drive to an identical disk (nowadays a 1TB 980 Evo) and then immediately swap the backup drive to the main drive.
I have little helper scripts to format drives, do backups and automatically update fstab and the boot config.
So new machine no problem, rsync the files into it and boot it up and I have everything exactly as it should be.

Now and again I'll do some package spelunking (pacman makes this straightforward) and clean out cobwebs. Next on my list is my emacs config which is like 15 years old and a couple generations out of date. I wouldn't care but startup times are slowing down and there is a lot of great ideas and packages to solve this problem. Just need the time, it's a few hours here and there, but easily enough to keep Arch going forever!
> we should focus on daily fun movements that we like to do

I fully agree. If some of that fun actually involves going to the gym, then great. But there are a lot of "play" activities which are compelling and fun while also making you healthier. Sports is an obvious one, and dancing is a less obvious one.

One hour of salsa dancing (with breaks and partner changes) is a good cardio exercise which is also lots of fun. And as or more importantly, the mental and emotional boost is something many of us need more than bigger muscles. I like both.
You should compare things that didn't change between then and now.

BigMac, for example, cost 65c in 1970, and $5 today. Average income (from the first graph) was $3.68k vs $44.2k today. So you had to work x1.5 more time for a bigmac in 1970 than today.

A return flight from NY to London cost $550 in 1970, about the same today. So you had to work 10 times more for that flight in 1970 than today.
For those who don't know how to recognise a caste from the name, does anyone have any idea which caste Google's CEO might represent? Can it even be definitely derived just from name?

I haven't downvoted, but I think it might be because calling someone an ideologue because you disagree with them is bad taste.
I'm no fan of autotune and I agree with your statement that a lot of music these days lacks a sense of personality that makes it hard to distinguish from others.

One thing I'll add is that we're at our greatest point of exposure to the worst music of our era. Every era has a surplus of low-quality, unoriginal, or maddeningly trend-focused music that gets a lot of exposure. In time these lackluster records will be filtered out and mostly forgotten. In time people will look back on this period with a fondness for the great songs of the era that have endured and forget about the works that failed to differentiate themselves.

As such, it's easy for us to look back on the music of the last 70 years and think that things were better then because we don't have daily exposure to the lackluster songs of those past decades.
I think C#/.NET has more performance-oriented affordances than Java:

- It supports structs, and unboxable structs called "ref structs". They let you to avoid GC/heap-alloc for small data structures with clear ownership semantics.

- It uses type reification for generics instead of type erasure. Combined with value-types, this can produce very optimized code. The downside is larger binary sizes.

- It allows unsafe programming with pointer arithmetic where performance is truly critical. This is where C# is closer to C/C++ than Java.

- Supports native compilation to a target architecture. This lets you avoid JIT overhead and lets you ship self-contained binaries (like Go).

- .NET supports source generators which can let you keep maintainable code and generate an optimized one.

Performance aside, C# is a very pleasant language to use, and .NET is a delightful runtime. I'd say give it a try and see it for yourself.
Now try to replicate that Arch setup on another PC. Even if you started from the exact same install, would it turn out the same?

I'd really like to see something like a rolling release take on Fedora Silverblue. Rolling release with versioning/immutability and easy rollbacks.
Yes, this is exactly what we need - a legal system that can get even more complicated and convoluted. The average person today has virtually no chance at knowing and understanding the laws that they encounter in their life. This will undoubtedly make it worse by expanding the capacity of the lawyers and politicians to create even more complex laws.
Florida does indeed lean on property and sales taxes. You can even build good infrastructure that way.
This is the first I have heard of Raft, but enjoyed the animations and ideas. I work on multi-node radio communications for ag automation. I had two questions after watching this:

- Is Raft alone in this space, or are there other popular algorithms/libraries that fill the same space?

- What happens when the node count gets larger than a handful? What happens when you hit hundreds or even thousands of nodes, that are trying to achieve consensus? In particular, the part where all of the nodes respond (semi) simultaneously to a broadcast node. In a radio spectrum world, that would be a disaster. N:1 communication slots are choke points for timely communication.

Actually, I haven't seen anyone make a compelling argument that counters any of the things I point out. I've mostly seen people either suggest workarounds or being upset that someone would suggest Python isn't the best thing since sliced bread.

WEF's “Global Intelligence Collecting AI” to Erase Ideas from the Internet
Google's results consistently don't hold up for high-intent visitors, yeah. A .gov site isn't (overly) concerned about bounce rate - people have no other location to bounce to, they will consistently wait out latency to do what they need to do.

It does still help of course, just at tiny fractions of the impact that Google saw.
In my opinion it is mainly because people no longer maintain music collections.

With vinyl, CDs, and MP3s, I could view my collection, select music I like, and build a deep relationship to it over time.

With algorithmic radio, all of artists and tracks become fungible. Easy come, easy go. Sometimes I will find a specific artist or track I like and take control to put it on, but after a month or so it too is forever forgotten.

Another issue is that stereo systems have gone out of style. Great music is enhanced by great quality. Music optimized to play from a cellphone or cheap Bluetooth speaker gives up a lot.

I Miss music, but apparently not enough to build a new collection and set up a stereo

Your answer didn't answer anything and was a bit terse. Their question was valid.

It looks like the answer is that they're charging some sort of licensing fee per project using Supabase or that they have a hosted option for people who don't want to run their own Supabase instance(s): https://supabase.com/pricing.
True, the non-Core versions really aren’t worth considering for a new dev entering the ecosystem, and MS has made it clear that .NET Core is .NET going forward.
> transitioning is an attempted solution to a mental disorder

It is not a mental disorder, APA updated guidance and removed it from the DSM in 2012[1]. Though gender dysphoria caused by being trans is. That's an important distinction; you aren't trans because something is wrong with you and being trans isn't something that's wrong with you.

> that we should not be appearing to encourage people in.

Is being trans something that can be encouraged in non-trans people? Not a single cis person that I know (when asked) has ever said they'd thought they might be a different gender. Didn't even cross their minds. And after being asked about it for 2 seconds they all instantly responded "no, definitely NOT trans", without hesitation.

> There is a difference between being accepting, kind, and equal in treatment towards trans people, and encouraging it with young people.

I appreciate that you emphasized accepting, kind, and equal in treatment here. But a few thoughts:

- When does a person go from encourage-able young person to fully fledged trans-person? Who draws that line?

- This sounds a bit like making young trans people go through a discouraging crucible and if they grow up to be trans it must be true. Which just sounds like a way to guarantee that trans people have terrible child hoods.

- Despite your phrasing, in the context of the rest of your post, it sounds more like you're willing to humor trans-people than truly considering them valid. (If I'm wrong, sorry and ignore) If that's the case, thank you for prioritizing treating people well, but trans people are valid. They don't need people to humor them, they need people to just believe what they say about their own bodies.

I made some side by side photos and videos (that I don't want to share because of privacy) of Macbook Pro 2015, M1 Macbook Air 2020, 16" M1 Macbook Pro 2021, and the front facing camera of a cheap android phone.

My conclusion:

- the only good camera is the front facing camera of the cheap android phone

- the 2015 MBP camera has low resolution and lots of noise, but the image at least looks natural

- the images from the M1 Macs look very similar. They added extreme smoothing to hide the noise. The result is that there is no details at all in the images. Skin looks unnaturally smooth and facial hair is a blurry mess. When you move your head, there are weird artefacts near the eyes.

- comparing M1 Macbook Air 2020 and M1 Macbook Pro 2021 looks similar, except the smoothing seems even stronger on the 2021 Macbook Pro

- even in perfect lighting the resolution of the camera is very low. There is no way this is actually a 1080p camera. The 720p image of the 2015 Macbook Pro has more detail than the cameras in the new Macs.

- the only good thing about the cameras in the M1 Macs is the low light performance. The algorithm is pretty good at producing a usable image even in very low light.

It's really not a good camera. It really sucks. Everything else about this laptop is perfect: The display, the speakers, the keyboard -- everything is wonderful, apart from the fact that whenever I facetime with someone I look like a blurry mess.
Another fix that could make the title correct is getting rid of the question mark. Then it just becomes a statement of "Why airbnb dumped RN."

I love that Arch has no extra configuration system. I'm building Debian images at work for like three years now and still don't really get how debconf works.

Also, the amount of patches, workarounds and custom configuration files in most packages and maintainer scripts is just wild. Coming from more than ten years of Arch, it took me a while to learn to check the debian packaging source if upstream doesn't match the behaviour on my system.

> Like Florida, Texas has warm weather and no state income tax. In fact, the majority of the top 10 states high-earners moved to are in the Sunbelt. And two others on the list—Tennessee and Nevada—also don’t have a state income tax. Both trends indicate that these high-earning migrants were looking for a more affordable cost of living.

Only 4 out of 10 had no income tax, and there is no information on why people moved to these locations, so it is not clear if income tax was or was not a factor.

> But the pandemic accelerated migration patterns that were already underway in the 2010s. The rise of remote work unshackled employees from the office, enabling them to move away from big cities to more affordable midsize cities. As of March 2022, nearly 5 million Americans have relocated owing to remote work, according to an Upwork survey.

There is no information here on whether the high income people who moved to florida are working remotely in the sense of having an existing normal, full time job that they kept when they moved to Florida, so it is not clear whether or not remote work actually is relevant or not.

In the case of florida it's quite possible that a lot of the people with household incomes of 200k+ moving there are actually wealthy retirees making substantial incomes off of investments rather than "remote workers" in the normal sense.
I think that is the point, is that it does not. It is code, and it does what it is told. But it is quite possible to be a professional dev without fully understanding exactly how and why your frameworks doing their thing, so it feels hand-wavy and mysterious.
The software install on my daily driver dates from 1999 (though the oldest file in /etc is dated 1994) and was originally an old Red Hat release. It runs XFree86-4.x (last rebuilt 2004) which works fine with nvidia-390.132 (no more than a few years old) on a GTX780Ti and an i7-3770K (maybe a decade old itself now?). Desktop is currently Xfce-4.something (was FVWM for many years); applications only get upgraded as needed (autoconf and make FTW). It's been triplehead pretty much forever (easier now only one graphics card is needed, current running 3x27" Dell something or others).

I don't normally explain why it's so fast, just smile quietly when people comment on how instant the response is.
