When I first went to our office in Joburg in 2011, we had 7 different DSLs, each with something like a 500MByte cap per month. It's amazing how quickly things have improved.
Very good chance this broke something within Twitter, which wasn't expecting an infinite loop. No idea what, though.
So far Vulkan/SPIR-V doesn't seem to be as successful as DirectX/DXIL or CUDA/PTX, specially in what concerns mature polyglot support.
Practically every church I've been to in the last 15 years has had an online giving option, and most of them use different platforms from each other, even though all the churches have been Catholic and many of them have been in the same diocese (where you might expect a "best practice" or economy-of-scale-type agreement to have been made that would lead them all to use the same one).

This is very widely done already.
Even if we just accept it at face value... 10K hours to be an expert does not mean 10K to make a career change. It means 10K to be the top of your field. So it is really up to you - can you handle being a junior level team member for a few years? If so, switch and do what makes you happy. But if being the expert at the top of the field is more important to you, then do not switch.
Lots of poor people have more than zero income. If you live in $1000 a month, 10% of that is $100. $100 can make an enormous difference if you have no savings. Eg, easily the difference between being able to drive/take the train to work or not.

Meanwhile if you earn $1M/month, then it's absolutely trivial to live in a way that $100K more or less makes no practical difference.

Or if you do odd jobs and managed to scrounge up $100, you now have to do the paperwork to pay the $10 you owe, which seems like an odd thing for a government to bother with taking care of and enforcing.

Now here comes the logical thought of "what if we set a minimum", and you have the beginnings of tax brackets.
Not asking anyone working in the career I wanted about the career. It's been a decade of floundering.
Forced Air generally increase the exchange of new air from outside. Individual rooms will tend to be above or below ambient pressure which causes an exchange of air with the outside. Carefully balanced systems can minimize the effect, but homes are rarely built with this in mind.

You can get a related effect with thermostats which raise and lower the house’s temperature over the day as air expands with increased temperature.
Tsk. If you mine bitcoins you can throw away your used clothes every day and always buy new ones with the profits. No need to wash them.
It already has the ability to specify an IP address to bind to. I use an OpenVPN up script to stop any running instance, replace the bind address with the current VPN interface address and start an instance.
Does the amount of money you can make creating these things play into it at all?

For example, meth is pretty difficult/dangerous to make (relative to things the average person makes), but making it for a profit has caused the knowledge to proliferate.

If acceptable printers don't get down to $200, but get down to $400, do you think the ROI gets to the right place? I'm assuming there has to be a market for disposable guns to lower the chances of getting caught (I presume the point would be to melt them down after their use).
Not ragging on Transmission here but qbittorrent has zero problems getting out of my network and I didn't open up any ports or upnp either, give it a try. Transmission just has issues on my network that I don't care to figure out or open up ports for, qbit is quite good at navigating through NAT.
> The town has a standard where you don’t hang laundry though.

Indeed. And that is oppressive.

> Otherwise she’s just doing as she pleases and that’s antisocial behavior.

Doing as we please as long as it does not hurt others is the definition of freedom and liberty.

> As to who it “would hurt” - it could very well hurt everyone’s property values and certainly hurts everyone’s eyes to have to see a car parked on the front lawn.

That is entirely unreasonable, besides the fact that it is completely stupid that drying clothes can decrease property prices. It is not more dirty than anything else you can put on your lawn, and it is not a sign that the house is poorly maintained or anything.

Also, if that is your standard, why are political posters and flags acceptable? In which way does a drying shirt “hurt your eyes” (really?) more than a MAGA banner? Does your argument apply to what people wear as well, or is there anything magical about lawns?

> Again, it’s antisocial behavior and inconsiderate of the vast majority of people in the area. It’s selfish.

Not at all, this should not be any more controversial than the clothes we wear. The selfish ones are those who impose a way of life on others for no good reason.
Why the hell doesn't Mastadon encrypt data at rest so the admins aren't responsible for user privacy?

Have you only lived in one climate? One type of house?

There are a lot of different buildings and climates where you will have problems hanging laundry indoors. It definitely can cause mould, it definitely is a health risk without paying extra for dehumidifiers. And dehumidifiers are not great for the environment either as well as costing extra.

So two good reasons to hang out rather than in.

Plus hanging laundry outdoors dries them much, much quicker too. They can be dry in 2 hours most of the time, compared to up to 2 days inside.
He doesn't make you look incoherent. You wrote your own comments. You want to credit Russia for beating nazis while not crediting them with atrocities because it was the USSR.

Can't go much more incoherent than that.
I guess I'm a twit then.

Could you please humor me and explain why? If the answer is so obvious and straightforward, it shouldn't be that hard to do, or take very long.

If it helps, feel free to use long words. If I struggle with any (being such a twit and all) I promise to look them up, instead of pestering you further for a definition.
The Hunter Biden story exists and you think that family is what, a-political?

It was like the people that watched Obama make a political agreement with Hillary Clinton to get her to stop running against him and then were dismayed when he was mostly just another politician.

It's just naive.
These aren’t national laws. They are passed by local communities. Local communities have always been given wide latitude to implement housing regulations.

Separation does go a long way to preventing disputes about whether a property line is exactly here or 3 feet west. Or whether the garden and lawn upkeep are sufficiently in keeping with the neighborhood standard.

I'm guessing my garden might be considered substandard in many suburban settings.

I'm mostly pretty sympathetic with people doing whatever is "reasonable" with their properties including drying clothes on a line. But there's clearly some point in a suburban neighborhood where broken down cars and decaying furniture will among other things depress nearby property values which is an understandable issue for the owners.
Thanks for mentioning in this, which I hadn't seen before. I collect stories of successful aging because I am now 66 and hope to keep creating software, and ideas that can be implemented in it, for some time to come!
Ask HN: Bare-metal replicated storage for a small K8s cluster
Hey lovely HN people,

I am running a small and simple 3 node microk8s cluster on standard VPS and looking for a reliable (read replicated to all nodes) simple storage solution. I can create dedicated partitions, I cannot have dedicated disks for block storage. I want to easily add and remove nodes without migrating data around.

What’s the simplest way of doing that? I looked into OpenEBS but cstor needs disks and mayastor sounds massive (runs its own etcd etc) and jiva I don’t know.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
Public services like this have private databases, and owned domains. Both of which require clear plans for stewardship if you want to avoid these issues. Much like a non-profit still needs some organization and roles assigned to it's members, so too do FOSS (services).
It's also less about my friends being on Twitter and more about the people who aren't my friends being on Twitter too...
Was hoping this was about the F# language.
When I first bought one, I disliked how the curve distorted the first and last character on every line of text. I thought I'd get used to it. The opposite happened. I found that my eyes subconsciously avoided looking at the edges and stayed focused on the middle of the screen. After a week, the struggle between my conscious choice to read and my unconscious desire not to look at the edges was giving me a pounding headache within twenty minutes of picking the phone up. I sent it back and swore off curved screens forever.
The paper looks very professional. Well structured, good English, nice math type setting, nice color figures... I can't help but be impressed, despite the intended goal of spamming the night sky with advertising. It might be good material to include in a class on orbital mechanics.

"Just noting for non-American readers."

I'm not in the US and I am aware of the Fed/States law/divide but that's not the most important issue for those of us outside the US.

The truly significantly point about Biden's announcement is that the attitude to marijuana use will almost certainly change worldwide. I don't expect the world to go pot-crazy overnight or such, but as I see it it's a very noticeable (albeit small) crack in the way drug use is policed and this will be echoed to varying degrees worldwide.

The fact that the US president has done this is an indicator to the world that the all-or-nothing/black and white approach to policing drug use is not the correct approach and that it ought to be more nuanced and targeted. And, in my opinion, that's to be welcomed.

It goes without saying there are major problems with drug use and I'm not advocating a free-for-all approach to their use—far from it. However, what Biden's announcement shows the world that not all drugs have equally bad outcomes for users and that this should be reflected generally by grading drug laws more appropriately.

With Biden's words, hopefully drug use will become less of a criminal activity and more of a medical one.

FYI, I'm not a marijuana user—well anyway not a recent one, haven't used it since my student days quite some decades ago.
Now we need an untyped lambda calculus compiler for C!
The US doesn’t have national rules on these things. Being a federal system, the rules are mostly decentralized at the state, county, town, and neighborhood level.

Neighborhood are often managed by a Home Owners Association (HOA). So, not codified laws, just a contract/rules you sign when you buy/rent in that area.

Outside an HOA (typically older or rural homes), you can often do what you want.

Inside an HOA (most suburban development since the 70s), you get rules that span from reasonable to crazy, but as a resident you know the rules up front.

Towns can have some of these rules too, but the detailed “don’t do X” that make the news are almost always HOA things.

In the primary example in the article, it sounds like there isn’t a rule, just neighbors complaining. The women correctly told them to piss off.
HOA don't take away any freedoms - you give them away when you sign the contract.

The solution to silicon valley hegemony just isn't decentralization. It's non-profit leadership. Think Wikipedia. Think NPR. The model doesn't even really need to change from an ad-based revenue model so long as there isn't a bullwhip at the backs of execs demands grow or die. Just keep revenue as close to break even as possible with enough cushion for a downturn.
Would we risk New York to keep Odessa free?
Unless that one box is the one that causing you to buy/rent more space to store things. In general storage space is very lumpy - people have a fair amount free until they don't and need to get more space - when you get more space you tend to get a lot more. (Of course downsize/decluttering is also an option)
Very little actually. Depending on how the shutdown works in practice, the impact is basically nothing. Other instances just stop receiving updates from the instance, which just results in the users in the closed instance being cached artifacts (zombie accounts) that need to be cleaned out manually.

There's also a "self destruct" feature in Mastodon which is the nice way to shut down an instance; it issues account deletion messages for every account to every instance it federates with. The idea being that this results in the federating instances processing the account deletions accurately.

As for requests to the original server; basically all instance software (Mastodon included) implement a backoff mechanism, meaning that if after 3 months your server is still returning 404s when requesting new information, the software will quietly stop requesting new info unless explicitly asked to do so by a user.
What kills me the most is the electricity is increasingly solar and wind. It's basically putting your clothes in the sun with extra steps.

To pay 100 EUR per month hurts much more when you only have 1000 EUR to spend, much more than it would hurt to pay 1000 EUR a month if you had 10000 EUR at your disposal each month.

Your first link doesn't work.
You don’t have to have a lawn. I’m sure your town has codified what is appropriate. Where I live some people have u-shaped driveways on the front and they are “to code”. But you’d be making an appropriate place to park a vehicle. The lawn, if you have one, is certainly not appropriate in most towns.
Assuming you live a lucky, healthy, full life with access to healthcare, you can live until your 80s. You will have at least another 25 years left to work in good health. There are some physically demanding jobs that you won't qualify for, but aside from those you've got plenty of options as to what you can do in the next 25 years.

I think the real challenge is seeing a vast region of mountains ahead and mustering the willpower and focus necessary to traverse them. You have to want it and will it into reality. The journey begins with the next step.

The 10,000 hour is bunk, by the way. Not even Gladwell will defend it. It was an interesting story about peak performance, but not scientifically valid.
You are lucky... And/or just don't have a large sample size. Of the multiple hundred CDs I've burned back in the day, some failed in just a few months. Admittedly, it was in tropical (high-humidity, high-temperature) settings.

As for HDDs, I lost about a quarter to a half, with the rest just being obsolete these days. I can definitely attest from personal experience that hard disks from the same series tend to fail at the same point (I had 3 WD blue HDDs in a single computer, as system, data, archival disks; the system one failed, so I moved the system to the data one, which failed a bit after; so I retired the third one; failures happened at about the same runtime according to SMART data).
I’m going to have to listen to that episode. I wonder what deaths occurred from Solar? Perhaps a lot installers have fallen off roofs?

You tend to praise D features, while ignoring that a language on its own doesn't make an ecosystem.

Indeed C# and C++ don't give me all nice features from D, when doing language comparison tables, D wins on that table listing.

Yet they give me their library ecosystem, graphical IDEs, and first day avail on any major company SDK.

I will take that productivity win over the few features that the D language happens to have.

Why is Andrei Alexandrescu helping to improve C++ at NVidia instead of using D, when the language is so great?

Ecosystem, that is why.
I am a developer user (yes, developers are also users), I understand why c++ is toxic for the humanity, then I did use other clients and I am still pushing to avoid it.
I'm 60.

I've probably done my most meaningful work, in the last 15 years. I feel that I learn more quickly -and better- than I ever did, when I was younger.

It's hard to get 10K hours into anything, these days, as tech is a moving target, but it's doable.

Being OCD (like me) is helpful.

These days, I specialize in Swift programming, for Apple devices. I'm really obsessive about it (My GH Activity Graph is solid green, and it's pretty much all Swift[0]). Even with writing Swift, every day (since the day it was announced), I feel as if I'm just barely keeping up.

Saving depends on the cost of gas and electricity, so you might be right for some locales and wrong for others (to the point that a heat pump dryer will cost more than gas dryer), but how do you imagine clothes will last longer? Do you think temperature causes more wear than a spinning drum?
For me, the answer is bare metal web components with Lit. It's all web standards stuff and not going to change underneath you. With a hot reload server like Vite and writing TS in VSCode, you have amazing developer support. Even Copilot understands web components because they're HTML. I'm faster and write better code with this setup than any UI "framework" that's tied to a vendor.

Personally, I'm over proprietary platforms for mobile and desktop devices. It's much easier from a dev standpoint to deliver everything as a web app.

PS: Here's an intro series [0] I wrote on bare metal web components.

> Although there are no formal laws in this southeast Pennsylvania town against drying laundry outside, a town official called Froehlich to ask her to stop drying clothes in the sun. And she received two anonymous notes from neighbors saying they did not want to see her underwear flapping about.

If it's so important, just make an official law. Don't allow police or towns official to enforce whatever rule they made up. Is your hair too short/long for your gender prototype? Is the music band in your t-shirt not welcome here? Is your hallowing decoration not 100% lore compliant?
I'm more interested in the rationale given about being offended by underwear (aka 'unmentionables'). American puritanism is so pure that someone will find a way to weaponize it
Trump actually tried to build that stupid ass wall.

Trump, the guy everyone loves to hate, actually tried to keep his campaign promises, even the stupid ones.

Okay, so your dryer uses zero electricity, but the carbon impact is presumably still substantial?

Sorry, doubling in 10 years vs doubling in 18 months effectively is plateauing! Especially since it isn't really a consistent 10% growth per year, but a decelerating growth over that decade. Furthermore, much of the purported single thread performance is taken from a small set of benchmark tests, and so chip makers just optimize them for those tests. Generic single thread performance has undoubtedly not doubled in that 10 years.
I could understand if it was coded in a way that forces you to install extra modules like say PHP but stopping to use something because it went from C to C++ just makes you sound like a zealot.
