This sparked an interesting memory for me. I was once working with a

of the code, I pointed out that they had a number of problems with storage

leaks. Imagine my surprise when the customers chief software engineer said

"Of course it leaks". He went on to point out that they had calculated the

amount of memory the application would leak in the total possible flight time

for the missile and then doubled that number. They added this much

additional memory to the hardware to "support" the leaks. Since the missile

will explode when it hits its target or at the end of its flight, the

ultimate in garbage collection is performed without programmer intervention.

With `hx-boost`, you can progressively enhance your server-rendered website to an SPA, just like with hotwire/turbo [0] or swup [1] (which I'm using a lot these days). This technique can come with a few other benefits apart from nicer page transitions, like preloading links on mouseenter and caching of visited pages.

Yea, I edited my comment, I was talking more about those states which make their own laws which would affect a platform. One of the up-comments in this chain referred to that Texas law that I think is supposed to prevent de-platforming. Section 230 would certainly have widespread effects.

Because that's what people want. You can get high quality clothes for much cheaper than you could in 1816, but people prefer disposable clothes so they can change their look more often. This is just producers responding to demand.
As a relative newbie in Rust who recently dabbled with Axum, I wholeheartedly agree that the handlers and extractors are magical and hard for first-time users. Another issue I ran into that's not mentioned in the post, is the compile-time type errors are pretty cryptic, if you get it wrong. I was trying to use the new state extractor, and didn't have my state properly wrapped in an Arc and it was complaining to me in a way that was totally unhelpful. The docs mention there's an `axum-macros` crate which can help here, but I feel like if you need macros to get around confusing type errors, you're going against the grain pretty hard.

On the whole I still found experience pretty compelling, though, as I did eventually get a little web app running with great performance and very low memory usage.
That is just a vpn
Much better resources than Rand are Nietzsche and Scheler (I know Rand draws from the former, per her own admission, but she doesn't have the penetrating intellect of the others). The "slave morality" Nietzsche discusses is precisely this inverted morality founded on ressentiment[0] toward the strong. From the "Genealogy of Morals":

"There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. And when the lambs whisper among themselves, 'These birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever of the opposite of a bird of prey must be good?', there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument - though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, 'We have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb."

This particular quote is a bit facetious, I think, because elsewhere Nietzsche is rather disgusted with slave morality as life-denying instead of life-affirming. But even if we disagree with some of Nietzsche's conclusions and characterizations (as fun as he can be to read and as insightful as some of his writings are, he was a bit nuts and some of his criticisms misplaced), we can certainly observe that ressentiment and envy cause people to invert the moral order within themselves, thus paving the way for their own self-destruction.

You know, employees are not actually property, and there are actually limits on what an employer can tell an employee.

Everything an employer might possibly try to say about using any other software or tools to collect, handle, and redisplay "their" data, applies exactly the same to a blind employees screen reader.

Hell it applies to glasses.

If they commit a crime, a judge and/or jury, informed by the testimony of medical experts, determines whether someone was cognizant of right and wrong. This is not uncommon in the criminal justice system.

Now, responsibility on the larger scale is indeed murky. We societally at once say addicts are and aren't responsible for their behavior (depending upon one's point of view and what acts took place): a drunk driver is treated differently than a homeless addict living under a bridge. Is Kanye 'addicted' to manic states? Should we look down upon him because he won't take his meds? I'm not sure.
Linux != Ubuntu, but yeah, while no one beats Apple's trackpad tech, the rest is there.

The biggest gotcha is still vendor hardware choices that don't follow spec. Appreciating that MacOS doesn't work on any laptops Apple doesn't make, it's pretty amazing how great the baseline for support is with any general Linux distro, even on Macs.

Also, Mac wifi and BT use some proprietary magic that isn't OS dependent. Just to emphasize that the hardware and OS are separate things.

I still cannot get the analogy.

LHC is an experiment (Almost dozen to be accurate) [1] and could be an analogy for the Google search engine as a product (or Gmail or other google products). CERN is still the organization which organize and have several other divisions like computing and engineering that serve LHC and a couple of smaller experiments. I don't think there is Alphabet analogy for LHC (maybe EU in this case but also US and a couple of other countries)

Is there a linked source or way to validate the claims? I'm curious to learn more but the author didn't link or reference any. The comments seem to verify it but I don't find them trustworthy either.
I can, roughly. One of the big international US based financial institution. Zero real concern for any licensing associated with software, across multiple teams I'd worked on in multiple lines of business. You find a library that works, you use it. Present in systems that touch dollars in the trillions per week.

I always found this weird while I was working at this company, but then, they have no reason to care about ephemeral threats that have never been brought to bear in a meaningful way. No consequences = no reason to spend literal billions retooling the entire tech side of your company over a decade.

This is something I’ve always wondered about. It seems individual differences in innate capacity explains a lot when it comes to math ability, but don’t young math prodigies also need to do the brute force time consuming stuff too? Does it take them as many practice problems to learn to differentiate polynomials or are they able to skip over much of the drudgery somehow? If so, how? There are many concepts which require exposure and practice in order to master, so how can one speed up that part as some children seem able to do.

In music I’ve heard the answer is that no, you can’t speed it up, you have to do the practice. But then how to explain the Mozarts of the world who somehow seem to have, innately, the knowledge that for others requires training and time?

Show HN: Xzgrep is twice as fast with dash versus bash
In the CentOS world, a shell script written by "Charles Levert" has been extended as the compressed grep for (gzip/bzip2/xz) as /bin/(zgrep/bzgrep/xzgrep); variants of this script are bundled in their respective packages.

The dash shell, available in EPEL for CentOS, appears to specifically speed up xzgrep considerably when altered from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/dash.

In my testing on a 32-bit platform under xargs, a search of 14k files of 20M total size runs in half the time.

Do others see this performance increase?

Is this another tangible benefit for Debian/Ubuntu moving the system shell from bash to their Almquist shell derivative?
Right, the earlier the general public is confronted with these technologies, the better!
>I would wager greatly that it's not that he's grown cynical to people saying he can't do something, but that he's become delusional from people telling him a genius.

I've been wary of defending Kanye online lately, but Kanye's influence isn't just "rap / hip hop". Kanye also broke into luxury/high-end fashion quite unexpectedly where he was given the same sort of push back. It started with him interning at Fendi (when he already was one of the largest entertainers on the planet) alongside a group of other eclectic individuals (the other most notable one, Virgil Abloh, who would go on to become creative director of Louis Vuitton).

He captured lightning twice and I can't imagine that developing into a personality into anything other than "everyone else is wrong".

That said, I don't think he's become delusional from people telling him he's a "genius", or from mental illness. Since 2020, I've seen scores of people all fall into the internet misinformation pipeline and I don't think Kanye is any different - he just has the largest platform. He's no more mentally ill than your uncle who believed COVID was a hoax. Everything he is saying is currently "mainstream" conservative ideology, his talking points are lifted directly from Candace Owens who is employed by The Daily Wire, which is run by the most famous conservative personality, Ben Shapiro, (maybe after Tucker Carlson).
I guess it's the same stuff developers from other countries like Iran, Syria, etc., face when trying to work with Github. It's a shame many OSS projects find providers like these OK when there should be plenty of alternatives that don't block users by country.
In the specific case of Notado, the Tailscale tunnel between Fly and Digital Ocean for database access naturally introduces some minimal additional latency.

Besides this, I'm not sure I'm in the best position to compare the latency and performance of a service running 100% on a Digital Ocean VPS vs. a Fly.io micro VM. Hopefully someone else can chime in with their experiences on this thread.

I worked for Phones4u (RIP) in the UK, in their training department. I was amazed at how much effort and money they put into training their new employees. Every week, ~15-20 people would travel to their training office in Birmingham for 3-5 days, they'd stay in a hotel, have their meals provided for, take part in various training sessions throughout the week, only to be evaluated at the end, and let go if they didn't do well. Obviously, training a sales team how to sell was in their best interest, and would pay off eventually, but that initial investment was just surprising to me.
Is the problem that you can't proof consistency? Because if it's consistent then shouldn't either P or ~P be true or the axiom doesn't exist?
It does have a pin for that (#M1, "machine cycle 1").

Zilog actually designed their peripheral chips to handle the RETI (return from interrupt) opcode specially. On the Z80 itself it does the same thing as a normal RET, but other chips can detect it on the bus and treat it as the signal that their interrupt handler is finished.

I also recall reading about some hobby project to add a PC-relative addressing mode to the 8080 or Z80. A redundant opcode like "MOV A,A" would be used as a prefix, which caused the external hardware to add the program counter to the immediate operand of the following instruction. Can't find it right now.
Correction: MichaelZuo set the topic and I followed. You seem to be wanting to discuss a different topic which can be done elsewhere.
> It's about avoiding premature work, of any kind.

It's even worse than that. Features have complexity, and they introduce constraints. Without active effort to fight entropy, each new feature costs a bit more than the last.

Putting what-if delegation in, before the Rule of 3 tells you how to best accomplish it, slows down everyone working in that part of the code, especially new people and folks trying to debug. You can organize code so it's hostile to delegation, or amenable to delegation. It's not free but it's relatively cheap, if your team is on-board. If not you're going to have a lot of teachable moments.

I don't build what-if features into my code much anymore. What I build in instead is potential. If I wanted to change this code, here is where I would do it. But not yet.

Well, I was driving home yesterday, and the integrated navigation map of my car was randomly rotating 180 degrees every few moments, just long enough to be noticeable on-screen, but then flipped back.

I have no idea why (something in the compass integrated in the car? was GPS being hacked?). But the thought I kept having was "If I had a self-driving car, what would be the impact of this?". All I could think of was horrendous disasters for me and the other cars around me on the road.
I think of it more like a raffle. But yeah, I share your frustration. Writers fixate on finding the right analogy instead of focusing on the actual problem being solved: randomly choosing a block decider out of an open set of candidates, with no central selection infrastructure.
What, what? Intention doesn't mean things can't go wrong. A lot can go wrong as time marches forward and your expectations turn out to be incorrect. Tacoma FD no doubt intended to keep those firefighters on staff, even if it didn't work out that way in the end.

A business won't necessarily realize benefit from training, but they do offer a similar guarantee to the workers that they may also not realize a benefit. If things turn out as planned, both will benefit. Benefit is not without risk. Those who can't handle the risk seek shelter elsewhere. Such is life.

Bringing your own tools can have massive benefits as long as the pay is in line with owning those tools. The biggest issue is starting capital, as is the true for the status quo unless your educational institute provides free devices. Of course there are limits (you probably shouldn't be expected to own your own mocap lab), but most individuals will already have a device given the relatively low price even with company-provided materials.

The issue being more, these things are removed without giving anything else in return.

‘Big Short’ Investor Michael Burry Says Meta ‘Has a New Coke Problem’
Absolutely, and also the field itself is constantly developing.
I agree with this mostly in the sense that we need a specific word without any other context that defines what these are. I'm not sure that "deepfake" is that word but it definitely fits the bill based on what we're looking for. Deepfake has the advantage of being a word that's already in common usage that a good number of people recognize as "Oh, that's a fake done by a computer" so adding "audio" or "video" in front of it also fits the requirement of being easy to distinguish without being cluttered by other meanings or contexts. While we may be able to come up with a better word (in the same sense that a "tweet" is now unambiguous in context), I think it would be a misstep not to take the snowball that is "deepfake" and continue to use it in this context especially as a means to educate people on fake, computer-generated audio and video. People can barely keep up with tech buzzwords as it is so the fact that "deepfake" is already something in the public consciousness means a lot.

Completely agree. Put another way, it was far dumber for Parler's current founders and investors to try and create the Nth twitter clone in the current year than it is for Kanye to try and run it. Assuming he paid a reasonable price - buying Parler is probably faster, simpler, easier than creating your own app, which Kanye might not have the expertise/team to feel comfortable doing.
