I said from the beginning it’s all a matter of time before we all go back. The C suite loves seeing butts in seats. Outside of software, and even some reluctance there, I think most leaders are only not going back full in office because they don’t want an exodus during a labor shortage. Otherwise they’d have required it by now.

I’m privy to the boardroom setting and know the C suite personalities well enough. They make jokes about lazy inefficiency of WFH. They feel out of control if they can’t walk to your desk and demand something is a priority. They don’t know how to lead in a WFH world. Also, by definition their job is usually to be in meetings all day every day and they just don’t enjoy the zoom experience as much because of it. They like to wear fancy dry cleaned cloths when everyone else just wants to wear basketball shorts and a tee shirt at home.
Antivirus software is so sloppily written it actually increases your attack surface, often catastrophically so:

That’s fine and is in fact expected. I’m all for transparency.

Let’s make sure other payment processors like Apple pay also don’t get subsidized either, instead of targeting just crefit cards.
Yes they could. The economy is partly psychological. Once the everyday needs are met, spending on the stretch items can be delayed psychologically to reduce GDP.

If I understand your position correctly, you’re advocating for a world where Cloudflare is the arbtrar of ethics, morality, and legality on the Internet? I think I’d rather they just continue to provide service for sites I disagree with? Thanks.
Yeah stuff like that is handed out on competence, when it came to situation, there were a few other equally qualified candidates who had been TAing that class. It worked out so we all held head TA at one point. TAOCP in the background probably played a tiny role if anything, but it's the one distinguishing event I remember, which is strange and funny to think about.
I've had amazing results with Warpinator, especiall when it comes to non-techies. No more ferrying files over pen drive or "wetransfer"-like services. As long as you're all on the same LAN, just drag and drop.
> significant carbon emission

What is significant?

Photovoltaic panels take around 1/30 of the energy they provide to build (that number is constantly going down). So if you replace all of our energy production in one go, it will take about 1 year of pollution to create them.

What is obviously a crazy idea that will never happen in practice. On the real world, the panels are produced more slowly, and are replacing the most polluting energy sources first.

(Batteries, by their turn, do not need as much energy to create.)
You won't find this too often in a big corporate chain, but some small businesses do offer some form of cash discount.

I find cash to be a lot more convenient and satisfying than a credit card and I prefer to use that for most everyday purchases. It's easy to open your wallet and see how much you've allotted to spend on a trip out (and avoid the temptation to spend more than what you've budgeted) rather than having to deal with logging into some app and trying to figure out how much you want to justify spending.

Once in a while, I run into a business that refuses to take payments in cash. I always ask the business, why do you prefer giving away a percentage of your income to the credit card companies rather than dealing directly with your customer and keeping all of the money that you possibly can? I've never gotten a satisfying response to that.
Rocket Mortgage is literally terrible about high pressure selling tactics like that.
Agreed, they should just bite the bullet and commit to flakes as enabled and not "experimental". There are plenty of other things that break regularly with my nix deployment and it's never flakes.
Rust isn't seatbelts, Rust is a tank. It's hard to steer, you need 4 people to operate it, but it's safe from bullets. It can also sink in quicksand or mud very easily. Rust advocates ignore the usability problems and say "Drive a tank everywhere, it's bullet-safe". Meanwhile the average programmer will get lost in the complexity of Rust and invent shortcuts like using unsafe {} in exactly the wrong place.
Thank you. I was only half-joking. OMG, 10,000 G's. That's... ludicrous!
“Well, I have to somehow propagate signals faster than the speed of light. As soon as I do that, I automatically create the possibility of causal loops. Now, in a causal loop, A sends a signal to B— And it's all in the back of Bohm's textbook on special relativity. He has a very nice appendix in there where he describes all of this. But A sends a signal to B, B to C, C to D, D sends a signal back to A. And all of the observers are moving relative to each other, and I think that at least two of the four transmissions have to be super-luminal. And then just applying standard special relativity, A gets the answer from D before he sends the signal to B. So he's reversed the time order of these events. So he doesn't like the answer he gets from D, so he doesn't send a signal to A. So it doesn't arrive at B, so it doesn't arrive at D. So he didn't get it, so therefore he can't dislike it, so he does send it. So what does this say. Well, it says, the naive question is, "Well, does he or doesn't he send the signal." He can make the decision, "I will send the signal if I don't receive a signal from D," since that occurs in the other order. So, yes, he does, and no, he doesn't. And naively, I want to say, "Well, this is clearly absurd and impossible. It cannot happen, therefore one of our assumptions must be wrong. The only new assumption was that we could propagate super-luminal signals, therefore that must be wrong." That's the standard logic. Now, let's look at this for a second. What do we have. We have yes, he did, and no, he didn't simultaneously true. History is multi-valued! Where else did we encounter a very similar dilemma. The particle could go through the first slit, or the particle could go through the second slit, but the two are mutually exclusive, but both do occur. Well, let's wake up and smell the physics for a second. Where did we get these. We got one from quantum mechanics. That was the fact that history could have gone both ways, and in fact, must have gone both ways. The other we got from special relativity, which we got without knowing a lick about quantum mechanics. These are very different sources of exactly the same dilemma.“
Yeah, I have a problem with that.

> This is a hyperbolic example to make a point -> What happens if a state passes a law that has a mandatory death penalty for people who are left-handed, and our new Supreme Court justices say it is A-OK with a state to have this kind of law?

Time to learn ambidexterity. In all seriousness, what you've described is basically a Dred Scott scenario, except left-handedness is discriminated against. Luckily, The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment addresses this.

> I'm not saying this specific law, again it is a silly example to make a point, but why would a state be compelled to give full faith and credit to laws of other states that are completely batshite crazy?

A law isn't considered "batshite crazy" if there's a "compelling interest". And now that the issue has been left to the states, what constitutes a compelling interest is mostly left to them as well.

> One that is NOT crazy is many red states want to convict women having an abortion of murder. This is an actual thing that many Republicans take seriously and want. This can mean life imprisonment, or even execution of the woman for murder.
How is this ok?

I don't support the argument for the convictions myself, however even in blue states, killing a pregnant woman can result in a charge for double homicide. The first step would be coming to consistent defining what life is, but many lawmakers and judges avoid that.

As for life imprisonment and executions, if abortion is considered murder, then those punishments are considered proportionate to the alleged crime. Proportionality is what makes it "ok".
> because of tax declaration.

Can you expand upon this?

The most optimistic estimates by the commercial companies working in this space is the first commercial reactors coming online around ~2050. It takes time to build these reactors and integrate them into the existing power systems. I may have misstated my position which is that I don't think fusion will make up any meaningful part of power by the end of the century. The reason is a) requires fundamental engineering and materials breakthroughs b) funding for it is a pitiful amount compared to what it probably needs c) it's competing with other cheaper energy sources d) we don't have any net positive energy reactors yet.

The basis of that prediction is just looking at how long it took fission to take off and there it was being driven by military needs (submarines) and not civilian.
Nix is the package manager.

nixpkgs is the ecosystem, since it contains all the packages.
We can't support those unfortunately right now. Maybe in the future.
I do forget flags as well, quite often. But instead disliking the console for it, i open the a manual with `man command-name` and use the '/' and 'n' keys to search for that option with good success so far.

I do get mad tho when a program doesn't have a manpage.
i really think it's going to take much longer than people think for this technology to go from 'pretty good' to actually being able to meet a production standard of quality with little to no human involvement. at this point, cleaning up after an ai is still probably more labor intensive than simply using the cheatcodes that already exist for quick and cheap realism. i expect in the midterm, diffusion models will largely exist in the same space as game engines like unity and unreal where it's relatively easy for an illiterate like me to stay within the rails and throw a bunch of premade assets together but getting beyond NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN! and the stock 'look' of the engine still takes a great deal of expertise.

Sycamore works pretty similarly to React. See https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/xvv49w/comment/ir6pw0... for how Async UI is different from React-style frameworks.
I never said they were. But on the subject of companies struggling to pay fuel bills for something foreseen, the companies in question surely bears some of the blame.

The glass company in the article has had 8 years to consider what would happen.

8 years where in could have investigated and invested in more efficient kilns, electric kilns, price hedging, etc.

This isn't about the good of the people it's about the good of the company. They took a business decision not to protect themselves against this eventuality, why is government to blame for that business decision?

All the while the EU has been encouraging all these measures anyway. Has the company not considered what happens if they can't burn gas in the future? I don't know if France has a net zero target, but even if it doesn't it is a possibility.
I feel kinda sad that macro assembly is a lost branch of the programming language tree. to me it feels pretty lisp-like in that its more of an exercise in world-building than 'a then b then c'. it also makes it alot more feasible to use all those interesting processor-specific frobs.

I guess assemblers would have had to have evolved past fighting over intel vs at&t.
Because we've already got the skills to secure a shared network I don't blame you. On the other hand though there's some benefit to redundancy too. if your switch dies it'd be nice to be able to take the cameras offline and swap in the working switch so your internet stays up while you wait for the new one to arrive.

For the crowd who can't isolate the cameras from the rest of their network and don't already have a bunch of networking equipment laying around though a dedicated network for the security cams is a easy solution that offers a lot of advantages over a ring cam.

It was described yesterday as content extracted from St. Benedict's Rules for Monasteries (which is a much larger book).

Definitely the logic that drove Germany to make it’s entire industrial economy dependent on gas from the east over the last several decades.

Not saying there is no merit to the logic, just that it can backfire or malfunction unexpectedly.
This is just your opinion. The reservations have changed lives of millions of lower caste people.
Again, maybe you're not in the US, but here we chose to build those interchanges right downtown,

Say what you will about America, but we built our environment to accommodate decentralized forms of transit, it's sort of our thing.
Leading the targets makes this MUCH harder from just an over the counter object detection AI. In fact making that and making it look human so it's not trivially detectable would blow this from a weekend project you can do in a few hours(Which I already doubt.) To weeks/months/years long project since you need it be really humanlike... Even now cutting edge AI can be spotted by humans.
There is always a "perceived performance". Once a year (typically) managers evaluate the associates; same evaluation is performed when one has to go. If seen somebody everyday plays a role, yes, maybe.

But for example, 5 years ago, I worked in a team, when I was only couple of days in the office. Others every day. I saw my team manager the days I was in the office... and also at weekends, because we were friends... so... it all depends.
He goes out of his way to mention something peculiar despite its non-relevance to the technical features of the project, and does so again on a Medium post introducing the fork. In fact the only interesting said at all is about the code.

(As to DRH's Code of Ethics... well, the product speaks for itself.)
This is the patronizing attitude that keeps getting Rust advocates into trouble. "I don't need to be pedantic, I know better than you, so I'll just simplify my argument down to the point that it's actually a lie, but you'll thank me later"
It's a bs factoid in the first place. Most CEOs I meet are in a perpetual "next two years will be recession" mode. I guess my counter to bs stats is leveraging my own anecdote, but whatever I think it's prevelant enough.
This concern doesn't make any sense. There are always new kernels on the horizon bydl definition, and there's nothing special about 6.0 at all. By this logic nothing should ever be released as it should always be waiting for the "on the horizon" kernel.
Don't watch from the sidelines. Become adept at using these tools and use your experience to differentiate yourself from those entering the market.
There are several projects designed to help you self-host your own services.

Proxmox[0] is mentioned by a few folks here. It's mostly a hypervisor. It's good if you have a "big" server and want to split it up into VMs for various needs. It doesn't have any concept of an AppStore or service catalog. I think this is too low level for what you're asking.

Unraid [1] is probably the easiest way to turn an arbitrary computer into a useful server. You install the OS on a thumb drive and it runs from there. It provides network storage services out of the box, can host VMs, and has a solid catalog of packaged services in their Community Applications plug in [2]. These are packaged in weird obscure way that I tried and failed to figure out. I've run this on an old T410 for a couple years and it's been pretty good. Not as flexible as some other options, but quick to get going on the basics. You can see this in their storage system... you can easily add arbitrary disks to your pool, but parity options are limited. My biggest complaint is that it's hard to spin up your own docker images, especially if you don't want to mess with Docker Hub.

TrueNasSCALE [3] is my next platform. It's an iteration on the very solid FreeNAS/TrueNAS and ZFS. It handles containers and containerized services as first-class citizens using kubernetes, but also includes KVM so you can do virtual machines. Like Unraid, it has a healthy app library over at TrueCharts [4]. Unlike Unraid's weird XML manifest, SCALE uses Helm. Nice.

coolLabs [5] is sort of a self-hosted Heroku alternative. I just discovered it on HN the other day [5a] in that context. It looks pretty neat. It has some pre-packaged services already [6] but seems to lack any concept of a community-curated service package repo. It seems to be mostly focused on helping you deploy applications you develop yourself. I don't think it gives you network shares, for example. Still, it could be a great choice to throw onto the VPS you're wonder what to do with. [7]

Kubesail [8] is a k3s-based self-hosting operating system. It's designed to help you run basic web services as easily as possible. Where Unraid assumes you have an old computer laying around, Kubesail will sell you a PiBox [9] to get you up and running. (You can also bring your own hardware). The have a nice AppStore and have put particular attention into the photo use case you mentioned - they emphasize support for PhotoStructure [10].

Cloudron [11] was mentioned by a few other comments. I haven't dug into it, but it does seem to have an appstore as well.

A lot of u.s manufacturing capability for electronics is paid for by military contracts. The U.S manufacturers don't even try to compete with China because military contractors are not allowed to make stuff there.
Yes, Dragon was intended to carry people to ISS. Shuttle was designed for EVA from the start.
Making a hub is only part of home automation and is probably the weakest link if they decide to abandon Matter and go with something else.
The part about the SQLITE code of conduct at the end is unnecessary imo.
How would that help anything?
It was the opposite of a "money grab" and liberals walked hand-in-hand to close mental health facilities, encouraged by the "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" film.

Outcome uncertain. Why would I need to buy content when I can generate my own with a local GPU?

Eventually the data model will be abstracted into deterministic code using a seed value; think implications of E=mc^2 being unpacked. The only “data” to download will be the source.

And the real world politics have not gone anywhere; none of us own the machines that produce the machines to run this. They could just sell locked down devices that will only iterate on their data structures.

There is no certainty “this time” we’ll pop “the grand illusion.”

I agree with the intent, but I don't believe simply improving schools (what does that even mean? higher teacher salaries? higher standards? more funding?) will improve overall societal education. Where I grew up (Georgia, USA), there were several incentives to doing well in school:

- Your driver's license was revoked if had too many unexcused absences

- State scholarships were only available above a certain GPA

- The state academic summer camp program was only available if you were selected by your teachers based on your performance

Only one of these incentives applied to the general population, the rest only applied to motivated college-bound students. I believe we should have more incentives for all students to learn in school that affect the students instead of the school. If you punish the schools for the student's performance, you'll get the current US education system. Some ideas:

- Performance-based tuition or school lunch prices: The range cannot be too high or people will, rightly, complain that this negatively affects poor people. Make it something small but symbolic.

- A personalized excise tax on parents based on the child's school performance. Again, don't make it too large, just large enough.

- Reintroduce recess and socialization opportunities for students during school based on performance. If people start skipping, suspend their driver's license.
Why do they call it an infrared telescope when it doesn't see in the infrared spectrum?
Haha yes?

Everything is replaceable but it is a major business. Huge ramifications in America if they had a major supply disruption. It’s not about the availability of glass boxes with fruit logos on the back.

The iPhone and other products obviously brings in a lot of money and supports a lot of jobs, indirectly too like through case design and apps and stuff. But China uses apple as an example of how they work with America - so much so that Tim Cook gets meetings with presidents and diplomats. And its supply chain is one of chinas major employers, so it would come at a steep cost to China. A loss of apple would likely impact other businesses soon after. China wouldn’t kill the golden goose without slaughtering the others first, or using them as an example of what’s to come.

Even beyond the iPhone as a product directly, MANY people (especially rich important influential ones) are major shareholders. So are pension funds and retirement funds and index funds. If apple had an “oops no iPhone for a year” moment that would rock the financial world way beyond their actual direct market value. They’re so big that their crash would likely slash the entire tech sector and with it the S&P 500 and with it all the index funds and with it everyone’s retirement accounts (you can see how that ripple would continue to everyone’s detriment). The US government has an interest in keeping them safe for that alone. They can lose market share and be replaced over time, but a geopolitical shock like China closing their ports to apple would be a major event the government has an interest in avoiding.
It wasn't a cellphone number. It was a free fax/voicemail number with jConnect. Inexplicably they changed the number I was assigned last year, and I haven't been able to reach anyone there about this, despite several attempts.

This was posted yesterday, complete with an inflammatory blog post.

This fork has exactly zero new code, but they already managed to change the license and the code of conduct. Their plans include io_uring, Rust and WASM functions - the first two negate the "single-.c-and-.h multi-platform" paradigm that made SQLite what it is, the third thing seems like a feature very few people would care about. They also want to make SQLite distributed for some reason (uh, just use Postgres?)
Good to see the detailed write-up! Many others are just a brief guide to make you buy their service or product.
