nix is in some ways a much more refined version of asdf. asdf is basically a wrapper around curling install scripts to bash. It can do anything--it might download a precompiled version of a tool, or it might build the tool entirely from scratch on your machine. It's up to whoever wrote the asdf package, and the quality of the packages there varies _a lot_.

nix goes the next step and has packages defined as an install script plus all their dependencies (all the way down to the basic C library, compilers, etc.). It caches everything based on a hash and provides a public repository where it will just download prebuilt versions of things instead of compiling them from scratch every time. It can do this because it has extremely strict hermeticity and reproducibility guarantees for all of its packages--asdf has none of this and you'll almost certainly just be compiling tools over and over or pulling down pre-built versions that will probably work (as long as you carefully read the package readme and installed all its dependencies).

Don't get me wrong, asdf is nice and great for simple things. If it works for you keep using it. If you start to run into trouble with the quality of its packages or you start writing your own packages, you might want to look at a more comprehensive system like nix.
Yes, outcasts used the internet to find and support each other online. And we noticed this great thing quite a while ago. But it seems only more recently did we also become aware of the other side... it similarly boosting toxic communities, isolated echo chambers, etc.

If someone wanted to, lets say, "make love with toasters", he'd be looked at weird and gotten over it in the days before the internet. Now he'll find supporting communities and guidance on how to do so...

So yeah, we didn't "have it figured out" and in many aspects, online communities do provide great benefit. But i wonder, if they still are, once all is added up.

It doesn't really matter where the stuff is made - per se - but we should know where stuff is actually made.
Thanks. The main term I use to describe this is 'non-siloed' (kind of weird but I don't know a better name for this) and there are lots of past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all....
I’m repeating myself but I’ll post it again.

Asians don’t have a representation issue in education.

If you think representation doesn't matter, that we live in a pure meritocracy, that only grades and tests scores matter, then attempts to fix injustice will seem silly to you. The smallest minority is the individual, so if you insist on breaking down racial-subcategories enough, you will always find "winners" and "losers" in attempts to redress injustice.
When I was going to school in the late 70's we toured the archeology lab at Cal State Northridge. The guide pointed out a section of pre-45 steel ship's propeller shaft (about 1.5 - 2' in diameter, hole through the center) that was used for radiocarbon dating.
Archives of the pre-AI internet are digital pre-war steel.

For that reason two dialogs will be opened in the same place. One on the top layer, and one on the layer below it.
What are the outstanding problems you feel are there even with the new nbdev2 functionality? Since I've been using it (the prerelease version) over the last few months I haven't come across a single problem, personally, despite doing a very large amount of collaborative notebook work.
A clarification: the config file is currently exposed as plain JSON file. Cue is used internally because we use it to validate the schema after the JSON is parsed – but currently not exposed to users.
The usg, for whatever that piece of software says on the tin. Unless you are just asking if there is any closed source software anywhere which provides value not totally replicable using oss, which seems like a silly question.
I love DDG but I never cease to wonder if the name itself is a barrier to adoption.

You simply don't get it, but most people don't, including founders. Lack of determination, speed, or being conservative, are the symptoms of those errors. They are second-order effects that cause third-order effects, and so on, in a vicious cycle. Maybe those founders learned those habits from a previous company, but at the root of it was a decision that wasn't given enough care.

They can be related to morale issues, resulting from small details or flaws adding up. Also from hiring decisions, stemming from again small details or flaws in that process.

Apple explicitly said that a Mac Pro that isn't the Studio is coming.
"In 2022 we brought you z-index:10000 and a lot of web UI developers used this to create masterful new models of interactivity within the browser.

But we've heard your feedback, and today, in 2023, we bring you the "topper-layer", accessed using z-index:12000.

You might be wondering if we're going to stop here. The answer of course, is no. We have a roll-out plan for the next 8 years which will culminate in z-index:100000.

Some of you might be asking if our plans for the super-topper-most-mostest-layer are really just reducing this all back to "normal" z-index stacking in the document flow. We'll leave that as a discussion for the forums, while we get back to work."

Those are not the actual options, just the options you have presented.

We want nurses to do their actual jobs to administer health based assistance to seniors.
It's useful to separate, as the parent commenter did, the notion of healthcare quality (for those who can afford it), and the state of public health.

The Library of Alexandria was not destroyed suddenly. It experienced a slow decline over centuries. By the time it completely shut down, it had not been a major center of scholarship for a long time. I suspect that most significant works in the collection would have been copied for other libraries over that long period of decline.

There's also termux and it's predecessors, running debian rootfs with or without root. (Most of them based on proot).

Before proot, there were some manually ported GCC and friends.

Some years ago, I had an android 5 phone and hacked up a fakechroot'ed debian rootfs on a terminal emulator without root. Basically unpacking some debian .debs with statically linked busybox binary, then using a chain of LD_PRELOAD hacks to call a shell with a shim.

But proot is better solution (ptrace instead of shim), and termux is very well done.

On the other hand, if you're thinking about scripting without all the hassle of Unix, I saw an app for experimenting with Android APIs using beanshell [1], I made an attempt to create a modern clone for my Android course project this year, but couldn't take it much far due to shortage of time.

Have a look at https://github.com/hanshuebner/symbolics-keyboard !
It's a big problem. In fact I wish a better layer stack API instead of having a special top-layer for dialog.

Problematic UI use cases:

- z-index is a hint, the real layering depends on the positioning of the parent element. The usual trick is to insert an element at the bottom of the DOM, and then use z-index.

- If you create a Dropdown or a popup UI (eg. a date picker), the accessibility of focus handling is hard. Your component needs to appear in a top-layer but by inserting it in a div at the bottom, you loose the tab order that goes from the trigger button to the popup. (there is an aria attribute to associate the control, but at least VoiceOver ignores it, and the browser doesn't respect the tab-order).

- The dialog element not only solves the positioning on top, it also solves the focus-trap that is needed for a keyboard navigable (accesible) UI.

- It's possible to use dialog for a non-modal popup. However, the specs doesn't say much about layering. (in fact a quick dialog test in Chrome/Firefox/Safari... they don't follow a predictable layer positioning).

The thing is, if you need to create a dialog, tooltip, dropdown, or popup today... you need a lot of hacks.

I agree, which is why I think that bikeshedding an Electron password manager is the most HN-thing I've seen in a while.
"Key startup lessons ... if your goal is to make a lot of money, work like crazy and get lots of people talking about you"

By contrast, you might want a nice job in a little niche with lots of work/life balance, a reasonable income and being left alone except by your valued customers. In which case, almost none of these lessons are for you.
Reminds me of that skit from Idiocracy.

And the people that listen to her and deprive trans people because of what she said don't count? It's hard for me to take a claim seriously that with how much influence she has, that hasn't happened.

Even if you want to make a distinction, "crying wolf" is not the right analogy.
>This is disrespectful of a lot of developers' time.

I might consider respecting them when they start respecting my time and hardware.
>If you had the option to delay humanity's discovery of atomic bombs

Humanity's discovery of atomic bombs wasn't published, though. It was demonstrated in terrifying fashion when they were first used. Worse, the first atomic bomb project was actually carried out by Nazi Germany, not the United States, and might have succeeded if not for sabotage campaigns and the collapse of the German economy. And weapons research is a well-known risk since the invention of the arquebus around 1400, when early gun manufacturers jealously guarded their secrets with state encouragement. It's true that we avoid research into novel biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, with a possible fourth "computational" coming into focus, but we do this by avoiding the research itself, wherein the ends are obvious from the beginning, not refusing to publish a finding because you don't like what it said.

I avoid new server software written in languages with too many footguns such as c or php. Nginx gets a grandfather exception, but I'm not sure I would have extended one to caddy.
`asdf` shells out to a bunch of different language-specific package managers. `devbox` only shells out to Nix, which manages system dependencies (including native libraries) and language ecosystem dependencies in a uniform way. `asdf` doesn't manage deps like the libraries your nodejs packages that use C bindings for number crunching, or CLI utilities that aren't part of your languages' library ecosystems.

Also devbox can dump Docker containers for you
Sarcasm, sure- but not jokes.

I got the joke, and many jokes are written, and ancient. Without context, even.

You’re not wrong that human psychology is the ultimate source of the problem, but inventive structures and cultural circumstances decide how the good and the bad in our psychological makeup get expressed. Eradicating corporate capitalism wouldn’t come close to see living all problems—it would only move us up Maslow’s hierarchy so we could grapple with more interesting problems than the depressing ones we’ve got now.

I don’t think you can fairly compare feminism and leftism (well-intended movements) with antisemitism, which has a historical record of resulting in mass murder. And toxic masculinity certainly exists, though not all forms of masculinity are toxic, and I don’t think men ourselves are in any way “toxic”. In fact, toxic masculinity and corporate capitalism are closely intertwined, each being an expression of the other.

If TikTok refuses to censor anti-vaxer in the west, they'd be banned.
I agree with this. It is almost certainly historical - macOS (formerly Mac OS X) is a direct descendant of NeXTStep (OpenStep I believe) and inherited a bunch of codebase from it. I doubt it was explicitly set like that.
I'm not implying that you cannot, I drove 10 years with manual transmission. I'm suggesting that if possible, auto would be better for daily use.

I think a lot of that underclass is artificially propped up too, sort of along the lines of thinking you hear with open immigration vs generous welfare state pick one.
This is using cell towers to relay to the satellites right? There were some companies trying to do direct cell to satellite and I didn't think it was feasible.
I use nix/devshell/direnv for pretty much everything nowadays, any tooling that makes nix easier for all users is a absolutely a good thing. Nix going "mainstream" would benefit everyone.
My impression from reading the book was that it had a beautiful internal architecture that I imagined would largely be hidden from the user. I think as a say COBOL programmer on an AS/400, one would pretty much see it as not much different from say a mainframe. This opinion is entirely formed without experience though.
Imagine if a VC putting in "one red cent" meant that the founders and employees in a new company couldn't capture any of the returns themselves...

Why should the government be different than other investors here? Putting in money != doing the work. You have to have the funding, but you also have to have the work, and money alone doesn't guarantee success.

In Rome no, there is no snow, it's too hot.

The 3 times I can remember there was snow in Rome the city would completely lock, with cars abandoned in the middle of the road (picture post zombie apocalypse kind of thing), so you can't drive even if you want to, because there is no room on the road.

I watched the announcement. Knowing Musk, I'll believe it when I see it, but it sounds promising. Apparently the G2 Starlink satellites will be equipped with large antennas to support cellular users on the existing spectrum.

> highly unlikely events is the exact thing you would expect from someone proving to be God

That's circular reasoning. "I believe a extremely low probability event because that's what we should expect from the entity I believe in". If I go with that, I can create any weird belief.
Word of mouth, in my case. HN doesn't seem to come up often, if ever, in my google searches.

I'm not arguing against search engines. I'm arguing against search engines that obfuscate URLs, and browsers that do the same. Against AMP. And social media sites that make it easy to "share" stuff but hard to get a URL to said stuff.

But actually, yeah, I do often go to foo.com if I'm interested in foo, just to see. And usually, it's a cash parking page.
Direct from cell to sat, goal is deadzone free, global coverage
I’ve been curious how Amy Coney Barret and her husband pulled it off. She definitely has it all, staggering.
Key notes:

* Everywhere in the US and US territories including ocean waters you will get T-Mobile service through Starlink satellites, no additional hardware needed (for the person owning the cell phone anyway)

* Beta service starting end of 2023

* Included for free with most T-Mobile plans other than the cheapest plans

* More limited features may be added earlier, i.e. texting or emergency calling

* Total available bandwidth will be 2-4 megabits per cell zone so this is not intended to be a replacement for conventional cell service but a way to provide service to completely or almost completely unpopulated areas of the US

* T-Mobile wants to encourage other carriers in other countries to give up similar mid-band bandwidth (what T-Mobile is giving to SpaceX) and to any carriers who do, T-Mobile will offer reciprocal roaming where anyone from those countries visiting the US will also be able to use this service and T-Mobile will do the same for T-Mobile customers visiting in those other countries.

One unclear point: It supposedly depends on gen2/v2 satellites which depend on launching Starship, but there was a comment that they may launch a "v2 mini" on Falcon 9 and it was unclear if those will also support the hardware for T-Mobile service.
Very frightening that something like this is posted on Nature.com. Burying the truth because it might be inconvenient.

These kinds of policies will not help the people they seek to, instead they will only lessen the public trust in science. Further I believe studies that may benefit the mentioned groups will likely be looked at with even more skepticism now.

IBM is desperate to report cloud and AI revenue so they're cloudwashing and AIwashing all their products.
The media doesn't push the stories because they're just regular news stories.

Tesla deliberately seeks out media attention, so Tesla stories attract more attention. Live by the sword, die by the sword, and all that.
Part of the problem here is that desktop development frameworks included keyboard shortcuts essentially for free: Mac associates them with menu items, emacs/vim's key -> command -> action design give an obvious place to implement shortcuts; Delphi and similar programs had similar places to automatically slot in keyboard shortcuts. Web frameworks focus on visuals and mouse interactivity and keyboard control is almost an afterthought (aside from some minimal attention to tab-order because of accessibility).
The AI is making no decision. The person entering the prompt made the decision to include the term. It is performing the same function as a pencil.

Now, if 'criminal' rendered as a black male 90% of the time rather than a crouched white male wearing a cheesy burglar mask and a sack over his shoulder, then I could see your point about perpetuating prejudice rather than stereotypes.

Which is a weird phenomenon in and of itself right?

The amount of political violence pre-internet is just an order of magnitude higher than today’s. Most young people (millennials, Gen Z) are completely unaware - unless you studied this stuff - that e.g. the Senate building was bombed in 1983 by a bunch of leftists upset over the US’s involvement in Lebanon.

This is to say, I’m skeptical of the argument that the internet has made things worse. Definitely not better, maybe not worse.
This is actually fascinating. T-Mobile doesn’t need a fiber or even cable buildout to a remote location, just power and the local clearances for a tower, they plop a Starlink antenna on the top and bam. Congestion will be a challenge but it will be way better than the current status quo.
You're missing the point. You DO have personal information that you can do things with in your daily life.

I thought existing Starlink needed a phased array antenna to get decent signal strength. How the hell is a cell phone radio going to reach a satellite?
So you're saying entrenched companies become too conservative due to their over reactive policies and get slowed down to the point where they die? I'm really struggling to understand how you think this somehow contradicts what the person you're replying to said.
I'm 100% confident that there is a 0% chance.
This sounds like direct to satellite from existing handsets. I can imagine that LTE at 550km is possible but quite a feat of engineering.
This needs no new towers, direct cell / sat comms with current phones
So you are outraged for these 'minorities' even though they have not expressed concern, but what is your proposed solution? Should the mega-corps just fire them, consign them to real poverty and recruit from 1st world countries again where they have to pay a higher salary but they get better sales numbers? Or should the mega corps operate as a charity, funneling money to the 3rd world even though they don't get as good results and their customers are frustrated? Or should they continue to employee the 3rd world people providing them a salary far above any comparable local job but make them use a software tool that doesn't bother anyone but you and a few other people who are offended for the workers that are to naïve to know they are being explioted until you told them? Or should the customers that get frustrated with their accents get sent to re-education camps?

Pretty much your only options.
