OK I "vouched" for this submission because I was in the middle of typing a long comment, and then it got flag-killed. Now that comments are reopened, here's the evidence I wanted to attach:

The claims of Pawn Man's Tiktok is at best, the fantasy of a very excited collector. Weeks after this Tiktok went viral, Pawn Man sat down with New Yorker and sent copies of the photos to an expert, who declared all of them to be not from Nanjing (i.e. they were either reproduction of past famous war photos of China, or personal non-war photos taken by the sailor) [0]

But the non-authenticity of the album could be evident in minutes to anyone who saw his Tiktok; I didn't see his video until it landed on Twitter, but when I checked back on Tiktok, there were at least a few comments alluding to how the few photos glimpsed in the video were obvious duplicates.

On Twitter, it was easy to prove this: take a screencap of any of the Tiktok photos [1], and you'd find hits in Google Image search — which immediately disproves his claims that these photos were "never seen" and all taken by a single U.S. sailor. I DMed him this info within an hour of his tweets and he never acknowledged it; not much longer afterwards, actual historians thoroughly explained/debunked every photo and aspect of the album shown [2]. But Pawn Man never acknowledged this obvious proof, and over the next week kept the charade that he believed the album truly contained never-before seen war atrocity photos

edit: I'll say this: the Pawn Man seems like a genuinely smart and nice guy, definitely great at social media. The fact that so many people believed him sight unseen (I gave him benefit of the doubt at first) is testament to that. But if you'd like additional evidence, check out this r/ireland thread about a Tiktok of his two weeks prior, for a completely different "museum find"; that TikTok was quietly deleted btw:

That's news to me. Where is that information encoded? As far as I know all you can get is the SSID and Mac address. I am intrigued.

Our prisons would be empty if locking away the average convict took half the effort that was necessary to put them where they are.
Yeah railway's pricing is super confusing -- it will be interesting to see what the total for my (very low traffic) websites will at the end of the month. On the dashboard it currently estimates my total bill for all sites to be $2.82 which means I'll be under their $5/mo free credit.

At least they have a very convenient single page where I can see the total for all projects at one time.

They said SQLite's code of ethics is unclear. You inferred any other criticism.
> All new EVs in Europe already use CCS and Tesla are slowly opening up their network to other brands of car.

Yes. You're restating what I have said. Tesla should hurry up and open them all.

> So how is Tesla part of the problem?

Because Tesla chargers are not open to all brands everywhere.

A better question to ask is why is Tesla not the leader in multi-brand charging. Other charging networks have delivered chargers which support all brands of EV with longer cables for more vehicle types and are faster than Tesla's chargers to boot.

How can I charge my Volvo truck on Tesla's existing chargers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UAttTG03WA

What about my bus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lNTjJW7HEY

How do I charge my Porsche Taycan on Tesla's chargers at 800 volts instead of this 400 volt business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0F42jY3dD8

How do I charge my BMW without blocking another charger due to Tesla's short-sighted charger design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y33AArvMUQ

Tesla's V4 chargers will apparently have longer cables, but Tesla is still no Alpitronic.

The overall fungibility of tax revenue is irrelevant to the criticism of the perverse incentives at play here.

Tying the payouts specifically to the police budget would mean that when the city's residents' policing service expectations failed to be met, one could point to that being a direct consequence of police actions costing them their own policing budget, increasing pressure on the public to do things like elect effective police oversight commissioners who will act to reign in their abuses and provide good value-for-cost policing.

The status quo instead disconnects the oversight from the consequences, leading to the quiet defunding of other services for political reasons (since it would require city counsels to constantly vote to cut police budgets in proportion to each damage award, rather than happening "neutrally" by centering the legal defense and payouts within the police budget to begin with).
Will consider it, thanks for the suggestion! As an interim solution, are there any languages in particular that you'd like to see?
Libs of TikTok is going to get more people killed by stirring up the latent hate among transphobes. This is the same type of stunt that lead to abortion clinic bombings. Don’t spread their hate. If you got a criticism you would be wise to find a source that isn’t so despicable.

Thunderbird is free, Outlook comes with an office subscription, most people probably just use Gmail.

Then there is Apple Mail if you are on Apple.

These are all good clients. I have never heard of Spark, is it that much better?

Edit: looking through their feature set, the answer is no. It doesn't seem to have a feature Thunderbird doesn't.
Apple should ban the EU, that’d straighten this mess out pretty quick.
Speaking about Xerox PARC, about a month or so ago I was actually at the 50th anniversary of Smalltalk event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View; Adele Goldberg participated in an in-person interview, and Dan Ingalls was also interviewed via live streaming. There were many luminaries in the audience, including David Ungar (one of the leading researchers behind the Self object-oriented programming language), but one standout moment was when a very tall elderly man walked up to me to read my nametag. It took me about 30 seconds to recognize that he was the author of Concrete Mathematics and The Art of Computer Programming: Donald Knuth!

Once I recognized him, I told him that I preordered a set of the latest edition of The Art of Computer Programming. He made a joke about collecting royalties from all the books he sold.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to speak to Donald Knuth! I actually saw him earlier this year at a Stanford symposium, but I didn't get to speak to him.
Happy ClickHouse user here. This is one amazing piece of software to be honest, for anyone ever wanted to parse, analyse and query billions of time series entry points ClickHouse is the way to go.

I dunno, I found that chapter 2 was incredibly useful, as he covers all the fundamental data structures very very well. Mind you, I actually learned his assembly (MMIX) so maybe it was more useful for me.
Slightly aside…

OLAP/Column dbs generally work well for large bulk inserts with many analytical queries…

How do clickhouse (or other column dbs) work with larger inserts (e.g. log data type inserts)?
Hello Jess,

Looks like a great opportunity, can I ask if there are other openings for non-US citizens as well?

Thanks
I think you are right.

Their rational for not using git seems reasonable to me https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html
The README has "Use Rust for new features" in it, so I doubt it will retain the same simplicity.

As much as I like Rust, and despite mixing Rust and C++ being the clear path forward for Mozilla, I'm not so sure it's the winning approach here. Part of the beauty of SQLite is the single .c/.h thing.

That said, I can see that maybe they're trying to expand the use cases of libsql compared to SQLite. That seems to be the whole idea with adding support for e.g. distributed databases, which is something SQLite just doesn't bother with at all, and would introduce a ton of external interfacing regarding networking. SQLite uses only the standard C library, and even then barely scratches its surface.

Also, SQLite's VFS API can do a lot there already. For example, I remember seeing SQLite compiled to WASM, using a VFS that downloads a remote database on S3 using HTTP Range requests. (I don't think it supported writing to the database, but it was still a really cool way of allowing complex client-side querying of a dataset that is static but too big to transfer).
In the way that you value the end, not the means, I guess.
> standalone and not dependent on the host OS.

??

The OS needs to implement zfs, like any other filesystem/host combination. Any filesystem can be "moved" to another host simply by attaching the drives, assuming you have hardware level compat and filesystem level compat.

OK the exception is when you have host-based hardware level encryption (ie, key in TPM or other security chip). In that case, zfs and otherwise, you can't just move the drives.

I think he made the offer on a whim, which I guess is easy when you are that rich. Twitter is not worth anywhere near that price.
"palliative care" by the WHO is underselling it. In countries that struggle with basic sanitation, being able to prevent someone from literally shitting themselves to death with dysentery and other diseases that specifically suck the water out of your body into your intestines, it's downright lifesaving. "Shitting yourself to death" was a regular concern for average people for most of human history.
> "the regular charging cable"

This is the problem I have with this choice. USB-C isn't one cable. It's a big variety of poorly-labelled possible cables, complying with a ton of different standards.

USB-C can be just USB2.0 capable, 3.1 Gen1, 3.1 Gen2, Thunderbolt 3 capable, etc. Some cables can carry 3A. Some 5A.

When your 'universal' charging cable doesn't provide fast charging, is it because your charger doesn't provide the right voltages/wattage? Is it a broken USB-PD implementation (eg the Nintendo Switch)? is it that the cable is underspecced (and a lot of USB-C cables on the market don't actually meet the spec)?

I think the intention is good but USB-C carries so much complexity that I don't think this helps consumers as much as everyone is making out.

Oh cool - AFAICT, that "our code" link is a link to a demo instance of sourcegraph on sourcegraph's code. This looks like an interesting product.

And it's open source? What's present in the commercial offering that's missing from the open source one? Just support, or features too?

Glauber is definitely not "some rando". He's a very skilled programmer who has worked on many things (including QEMU).
Your response carries much too much confidence. There is no debate any longer - the story is pretty well worked out [1][2]. Nature only gets you so far. See for example how much top pro golfers practice (or musicians, or whatever ..). (Not that it matters but I learned this late in life and was able to apply the knowledge to make it near the top of my admittedly very narrow field). Sure, at the top 0.1%, maybe even 1%, your nature really matters, but you still need to practice.

You, meaning anyone, could probably practice hard and join the upper x% of just about anything (setting aside things like the NBA that overvalue nature). What x is, well that is subject to debate. So is the source of motivation, and that is almost the most important thing.

IMO, sysadmin and devops could be a perfect part-time or retainer type role for many smaller companies. They might need someone to help them occasionally, but not full-time. If I were you, I'd reach out to a lot of smaller (say <10 engineer) startups and present a consulting package of sorts. This could be as simple as a paragraph and bullets on things you can help them with, the hours, and your rate. You can probably source companies by looking at LinkedIn or searching for whatever tech stacks you're best on and filtering in your results from there.

Shamelessly, I've also started https://parttimetech.io/ to try to cover cases like yours where people don't want to work full time but still have very valuable skills to share. We don't have devops roles up yet, but hopefully will in the future.
Dokku has a very easy solution for connecting databases and other services to an app with "Dokku link." Currently with Coolify I have to spin up a database then take the link generated, like postgres://user:pass@host/link and then paste it into my env file for my app. It would be cool for Coolify to automatically inject those environment variables into my app when I link two services and apps together like Dokku does. It just needs to tell me what env variable I should be looking for, like DATABASE_URL, and then I can use that variable in my app.
Arti 1.0.1 – Tor client in Rust Released → (October 4, 2022)
I feel like a lot of fantastic software is made by a small number of people whose explicit culture is a mix of abnormally strong opinionatedness plus the dedication to execute on that by developing the tools and flow that feel just right.

Much like a lot of other "eccentric" artists in other realms, that eccentricity is, at least in part, a bravery of knowing what one wants and making that a reality, usually with compromises that others might not be comfortable making (efficiency, time, social interaction from a larger group, etc).
This was viral on TikTok a few weeks ago. It was determined to be fake and probably a stunt to get followers and attention.

According to NBC: "Kail told NBC News that the photos turned out to be from Shanghai, not Nanjing. He said he couldn’t elaborate further on the advice of his lawyer." (https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/viral/pawnshop-owner-nan...)
I still miss the expresscards. I'm suprised the standard didn't evolve using newer version of PCI-E, maybe it could have become a way to add more storage to laptop easily.

With USB 3.0+ though, it seems obvious why it may have died out when better connectors became available.
Covid opening up more companies to the idea of remote workers? Or forcing development to fill gaps of processes that used to happen offline?
I've been running clickhouse for production as a solo dev for a year now and it's been great so far. I've had to tune it a bit for the machines I have, but everything works and it's incredibly fast. Not even comparable to postgres. For analytics, it goes way beyond what you'd expect, even under heavy writing.

Even join-heavy queries work great.
Didn’t the Citus columnar get rolled into the main Citus extension?
The problem is that it is a lot of tiny cables, and a lot of chargers with them.

Additionally, it also protects the consumer by preventing companies from locking consumers into buying device-specific chargers at greatly inflated prices. It might even become common for devices to come without chargers: why have 10 chargers lying around when all your devices use the same charging connector?
> Changing this standard is fairly easy, it just requires the European Commission to amend it.

Is this sentence intended to be sarcastic? I can imagine nothing more draconian and backwards than having to lobby a political organization for permission to do something innovative and outside the norm.
I didn't even say "real world", I said "physical world". Physics, unlike mathematics, is an experimental science.

Edit: where does the MWI define “complex agent” and “experience”, by the way? I thought that MWI was precisely defined by assuming the postulates of quantum mechanics without including the Born rule, but it seems that there may be more to it!
Ask HN: HP Dev One, any buyers remorse?
I'm switching companies, and will be assigned a beefy Windows 10 laptop. WSL2 has been a good developer experience, so I'm not disappointed about going non-Mac.

That said I need a new personal machine, and while I have a few MacBook Pros, I'm disappointed with their lack of expandability (RAM), and more so that they won't take the latest macOS versions (without workarounds that have caveats). Was not a problem until I found apps I use won't upgrade because the OS won't upgrade.

The HP Dev One may not be the best in class option for a laptop that ships with Linux, but for the price it checks most of my boxes. Upgradable, works with multiple distros (Pop OS is nice enough), reasonable cost.

I have seen comments about the screen resolution. But not knowing too much about the panel options today, don't know if that would be a problem for me. My comparison would be a 2015 MacBook Pro Retina, the last 15" or less laptop I worked on.

I mostly work in a terminal, Vim: SQL, Python, Go. Desktop environment is for a browser, email, chat UI, and little else.

Anyone with this specific laptop wish they did not buy it, and if so, why?
>Companies have marketing budgets and the people making those decisions are not universally incompetent

What are the people making those decisions incentivized to do? They could either "believe" the totally-legit-no-bots-here numbers for their ads, or they could investigate into how much is wasted. If they choose the second option, either everything is above board and it was a waste of effort and money, or it's found that it's not worth it at all, in which case the budget of their department would be cut and some people may lose their jobs due to how much was wasted on ineffective web ads. Not worth the risk.

It's not about competence or incompetence, but rather what information people are actually incentivized to seek out. There's a big conflict of interest where the people who are able to assess how good of a job the marketing department is doing is the marketing department and Google/Meta - both of which are incentivized to say that everything is amazing and it's totally worth the money. Remind me again of what happened last time people with perverse incentives pretended everything was fine with the financial backbone of an entire sector they benefit from staying alive...
and literally none of that has happened with no mandates. What a dumb argument. Now the government (that creates no value) now gets credit for "preventing" fictional "horrors" like proprietary bread? statists guna state. seems like some of europe just looooves being told what to do like children
I'm all for minimizing friction for contributors, but when I read things like: "The few core developers they have do not work with modern tools like git and collaboration tools like Github", I wonder if the collaboration from someone who refuses to send a patch to a mailing list (because it is not what they are used to and don't care to learn how to do) is really worth considering. I mean: if someone is not wanting to move a few millimeters out of their comfort zone to make a contribution is, very likely, someone who has very little commitment or will try to force their opinions and methods onto others.
I have a friend who is a cop, and when testifying in a use of force case, he was pressured by his superiors to express his opinions in a way that would minimize liability for the department, so at least anecdotally they care about lawsuits.
>Folks have no clue what they are doing, they just follow trends.

And you think that a degree helps with that? I've had coworkers with MS in comp-sci who had no idea how to implement stuff in a practical, efficient manner, and other coworkers with no degree who were able to grasp the best practices from the get-go. I don't think the degrees are the problem. The problem is that the demand for software engineers has wildly outpaced our society's ability to produce quality ones, regardless of their educational path.

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority (80%) of professional software developers already have a bachelor's degree or higher: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021/#education-ed...
