Kubernetes alone recommends at least 1gb of ram just for itself IIRC, so that may push it out of some home servers such as RPIs or smaller nucs depending on the actual service load.
I'm not. I'm saying it's in our interest to make sure the people we work beside in our buildings are also taken care of.

Ignoring your hyperbole, think about the benefits to you when the staff in your building, working to support you, are well cared for.

Ample sick time means cafe workers don't feel compelled to come in on days when they have a cold, decent wages ensure cleaning staff have the ability to commute easily, competitive sales commissions ensure you have the best sales staff and your profits rise, healthcare ensures there's less turnover for the roles who you rely on to keep things moving smoothly.

You don't have to buy into the argument that, "these are all people and should be treated well because they are people" if you don't want to. But there are rational, apolitical, self interested reasons to use your labor power to help others.

To be fair, well-integrated immigrants are also more likely to fervently value American freedoms much more than born Americans since they know what it's like to not have those freedoms and because people don't just go through the difficult immigration process without having some ideological affinity for the US. If it were just about quality of life, Canada, much of Europe, Australia etc are not that different and usually have easier immigration.
You just need to plan to test your apps every Summer. And maybe extra time for implementing new platform features, like log-in with Apple and whatnot. But it’s still a yearly routine!
Never had any problem like this. I’ve essentially been doing all my banking online for as long as I’ve had any banking to do. So 20+ years or so. Can’t really remember any significant downtime or problems. Biggest problem I’ve had with a bank tech-wise is that my current bank refuses to support Apple Pay. Considering switching banks because of this.
It is possible to implement infinite scrolling and maintain the scrollbar height if you know the full number of results you’re going to scroll through and the height of each element (both of which are usually knowable). You simply set the scroller div to elementCount * numElements regardless of the number of elements. Most libraries that provide infinite scrolling do this.

If the alternative is to force someone else to host and reproduce your views who doesn’t want to, then I’d say that’s acceptable. I’d you want a large platform on which to spout your views, you should secure that yourself. Your 1st amendment right is to stand on a soapbox in the town square and yell as loud as you want, and that’s all.
"Freedom of speech" does not mean "the cathedral is allowed to do anything short of putting you in jail to censor and punish your speech".

"Freedom of speech" does not just refer to a specific narrowly-defined legal doctrine.
You could also conclude that whoever wrote that was in error. Several of the ‘inexplicable’ recordings they released have already been convincingly demonstrated to be ordinary phenomena, so it’s not looking good for the reliability of whoever wrote that report.
that's interesting, 'saying X should be against the law' is precisely not what I'm hearing.

instead I'm hearing 'there shouldn't be a law that requires a private entity to broadcast X' and 'you really shouldn't say X, and I would strongly suggest that you do not say X' and 'if you say X, there may not be legal consequences, but legal consequences are not the only kind of consequences'

so i don't agree that 'the way it works is ... saying it should be against the law'

I disagree, and in no way am i trotting out Popper quotes. I am questioning your willingness to actually listen to people.
The strong want freedom, the weak want safety, that's how I'd explain it. The internet has forced the weak onto the big arena where they have to defend their views, and unable to do that, they've demanded to put everyone into cages.

Any collage or institution receiving government funding must not censor speech in any form, as they are government institutions via proxy. Also, in my opinion, all publicly traded companies should not be allowed to censor speech as they are essentially "owned" by share holders, not the management team.
This is what you got from his response to you, that the fact they put forward such a dumb idea to a president seems to prove no "cabal" exists?

If it did not exist, why was the dumb idea put forward? why the need to invade Cuba? Why all the other underhanded involvement in other countries over the years?

Then you list other examples of such nefarious behaviours?

Thankfully the US government does not have a serious problem with lobbying, corruption (number 27 on the world corruption index).

But sure, the fact the "bay of pigs" was discovered seems to prove things like this don't take place, yet you list Smedley of "war is a racket"?

That’s a very stupid analogy honestly. No one is forced to buy a Ferrari the way no one is forced to live in an expensive area. It’s almost like you didn’t read my entire comment. The overwhelming majority of the visibly homeless on the streets of SF aren’t even from here, I give them money and ask their story sometimes out of curiosity. Most of them came here for the drugs and social services.

And with the disability and other entitlements they receive, they could afford an apartment in another city—-but most don’t really care about housing as a priority. They like being able to live without rules and consequences and we’ve enabled that.
Freedom of speech is the freedom to vocalize, share, and evaluate thoughts.

There are actually things you can do such as making information more accessible, improving education, making ones ability to argue affect your resulting quality of life to a lesser degree through mechanisms like social welfare programs, etc.

There's something here. I think (if I understand correctly, which is kind of iffy) it's also the case that if either party reads the property early, the entanglement is used up, and the on time read is no longer correlated.

That may not be very helpful for a battle plan, but if there was concerns about enemy infiltration, the entanglement could be intentionally used early, resulting in neither ship knowing what the other is doing, although the ship that read on time wouldn't know they didn't know.

Just note that the mentioned book, colloquially known as Papa Rudin, is definitely not an introduction to analysis, which is usually said to be "Principles of Mathematical Analysis", i.e. Baby Rudin. Even then, Baby Rudin is terrible as an introduction in my opinion, though it is quite good as a reference.

I forgot one - if you start thinking there's a bug in a library, reduce your code to the smallest example that reproduces the problem. If you get it down to 5-6 lines you're going to either (1) remove something along the way that fixes the problem and gives you a clue or (2) you will have something you can post in message boards when you ask for help.

You'll also have a shortlist of functions that you can search for in stack overflow, and compare you example to theirs.

Yep, happens to me all the time. Since introducing psychedelics into my life I’ve been able to gain more awareness of this and can usually trace things back to what triggered the memory. Like a smell, or a food, music, or a pile of mail/clutter sitting on the counter, an advertisement, etc. I’ve been on a declutter/organization mission lately to help mitigate this. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.
On the contrary, more than 12 million people watched the concert live. That's time spent in going to the VR concert, not playing a competitive shooter. Are you suggesting that all of them did something they had no desire to do?

> For me the deterioration of Android started after Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean for me is the best Android OS in history.

This is definitely where I lost you. That's a 10 year old OS, basically an OS that represents the the infancy of consumer smartphones. Anyone who actually goes back and uses an OS that old will quickly discover just how little "vital" functionality it has.

One that's particularly funny to me: Android added native printer support in 8.0. That's something we've had on desktop computers for decades!

We didn't even have fully fledged notification controls and do not disturb before Android 5, something that's considered a basic necessity now. Couldn't search the system settings. The list goes on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

Which you can do with modules in Python, so the particular utility of classes gets increasingly hard to tease out.

One neat use of classes is model objects in scikit-learn. But R manages to do the same thing with a much more basic system called S3. In this system, you have "generic" functions which dispatch to different methods based on the data type of the first argument. This is used to endow the programming environment with predict and plot functions that behave differently depending on what kind of model you feed into them. This is essentially the same as how two different OOP classes can have two different methods with the same name. But S3 has none of the other trappings of object-oriented programming whatsoever: no encapsulation, no inheritance, no polymorphism.

I found it a fascinating revelation. It's hard to point to anything that R's object system makes unnecessarily difficult, any killer app that proves how pure OOP is better. I would guess that traditional OOP excels in GUI systems, but outside that context, people seem to increasingly find it wanting as a paradigm. We are seeing an evolution away from unipolar OOP ideology and towards a more multipolar exploration of different paradigms and their comparative advantages.
Most apps are compiled straight from some dev's laptop with a largely undocumented environment consisting of many unvetted tools capable of injecting themselves into the build process.

I think you have a very strange view of development work. At least in my experience, a vast majority of work involves going off on your own and implementing things, which often involves reading documentation. Meeting with a colleague is also considered work, but I wouldn't say meeting with a colleague is somehow considered "more work like" than solo development or that many developers prefer one form of work over the other.

I played with YunoHost a bit yesterday, and within a couple of hours hit a situation where a misbehaving application froze the whole thing requiring a reboot. That's after spending longer than I wanted figuring out why the ISO always locked up mid-install, starting with Debian 11 + nonfree drivers instead and installing Yuno on top.

Really liked the concept, not the execution so much as it turns out.

Thinking of taking a look at CapRover next, which is docker based. This Tipi thing might be worth a go too, though maybe when it's a bit more mature.

> they trot out Popper quotes about tolerating intolerance.

Yup, that's me. What's wrong with that according to you?

If your expression is promoting violence, especially violence against a vulnerable group (children, minorities, I'd say even animals), I'm okay with drawing up laws against such things. Thereby reducing freedom of expression.

Advertising for instance. If every building/land owner or municipality could put ads on 'm promoting drinking and smoking, that'd be bad for kids. Limiting that would reduce freedom of expression right?
You can do a search for "hate speech" in the HN archive and find plenty of examples. Going down the first page of results, it's about half supporting hate speech as free speech and half against, although the supporting comments have much higher scores. You could make the argument those people think something should be illegal without thinking you should be arrested for doing it, but that's calling them a pack of ignoramuses who don't understand how laws work.

Different perspectives are interesting if they can be used to solve the problem at hand.

> I hadn't heard from linguists before.

Are you sure? Larry Wall, creator of Perl, is a linguist. His education certainly guided his decisions when designing the language. He certainly had different "tools of thought" compared to other programmers at the time, and it shows. You can hear him multiple talks and read books from him about the topic, and none of them are filled with out-of-context, unnecessary jargon.

Great example of what I was discussing above - you don't even know how the system works well enough to be able to analyze it. Here you have clumped the entire US government together as though it's "the military"

Anticipating your response - Everything snowden revealed was authorized under Title 50 which is NOT the military, it's the Intelligence Community. There is a difference between NSA and CSS which do different things. You can be military and work under Title 50 but with a pretty serious restrictions under EO-12333

With respect to the missile gap - it's well documented that Russia has had more nukes than anyone since at least the 70s [1]. Go look at the SALT treaty work and mutual inspections (now discontinued unfortunately) for more detail on how these estimates have changed over the years.

If you're looking to me to defend unethical politicians for lying or exaggerating you'll not find much content - however again nothing here is evidence of a consistent and coherent "cabal of people trying to scare the public" in a conspiracy to keep finding bad people. The USSR really had a huge and growing nuclear arsenal and wanted as badly as they could to beat the US at nukes. This isn't some made up bullshit like aliens.

I don't have the energy to break it down further at the moment.

Should we worry? Well, are we about to find ourselves embroiled in an interstellar war with advanced space-faring beings? If "yes" then no, we shouldn't worry. We should just kiss our butts "goodbye" and prepare ourselves for the planet-wide "death ray" from orbit. If it's anything more "mundane" then whether we should worry or not will depend mostly on whether they're natural phenomena or of human origin.

Ask HN: Is there a precedent for legislation that mandates code changes to OSS?
I was reading this post on HN earlier today about how the White House may consider executive action or legislation to ban Bitcoin mining:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32789325

When reading the linked article and the White House press release (https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/09/08/fact-sheet-climate-and-energy-implications-of-crypto-assets-in-the-united-states/), this particular section jumped out at me:

> Should these measures prove ineffective at reducing impacts, the Administration should explore executive actions, and Congress might consider legislation, to limit or eliminate the use of high energy intensity consensus mechanisms for crypto-asset mining.

I am curious if the U.S. government actually has that power. Would this be considered constitutional? I can understand issuing penalties or otherwise stepping in to regulate businesses, but considering Bitcoin is an open-source, community driven software project (and so are many other crypto projects), can the government enforce that the software has to be written a certain way? Would this be considered a violation of the First Amendment?

I am sure in this specific case many people may agree with the intentions or believe that this change is not a problem, but the precedent to me is pretty scary. Imagine if in the future, rich and powerful people can lobby the government to limit or crush any open-source software they want if they feel like it poses a threat to an existing company or industry.

Based on this article, it sounds like code is considered free speech: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/is-code-free-speech/
I think you have missed the original context. The very problem proposed by the OP is to estimate the compression level for given compressed stream. For zlib and gzip there are 9 possible levels (excluding the uncompressed level 0 for zlib), so the naive approach is to first decompress the input and compress it again in nine different levels. I said that we can instead do the partial decompression to collect statistics and rule some levels out, so that we only need to compress it much less than 9 times. You still need to do the full decompression to be able to recompress it anyway, but that wasn't the point at all.
Do we work in the same field? I'm 32 and am the oldest person on my team of 10. We work on drivers and other low level software. Adjacent teams have similar mixes. At previous roles I saw similarly young demographics in my coworkers. I might agree with the premise that the overall number of engineers down in the weeds has increased at a snails pace compared to the rest of the industry which may give the impression folks are older by comparison.
