Yeah I've spent like a decade building rpms that packaged all their deps inside of them, so I very much don't find the dependency management between them to be fundamental, which might not be intuitively obvious to everyone else.

Maybe it'd be better to call them a tarball, but there is the way that you can install it and run it and then nuke it cleanly which you don't get out of the box with a tarball, which is why I like the package metaphor slightly better.

EDIT: the fact that it is in a chroot, though, I think sort of covers the way that it doesn't really interact with the external filesystem and installed packages. That implies that you have to ship all the deps with the package itself and those usually would be installed into something like /chroot/<whatever> and never into e.g. /usr/bin and the nature of the chroot would make everything in /usr/bin inaccessible. If you build an RPM which installs into a chroot you're really not going to be able to have any dependencies on anything else in the system. The tweaks to make that separation slightly nicer are fairly small tweaks overall. That might not be intuitively obvious though.

Unless you're planning to get an MFA, people should first try to write a novel before worrying about being a novelist.

The experience of actually writing is much different than thinking up a story in your head.
Technically these would still produce different results if y started two bytes after x -- I can't remember if that is itself legal however!
This looks really cool!

It feels like it would be a very small step to "RhymePad", i.e. an editor designed and optimized for writing rap lyrics which I think would be really cool, too.

Perhaps that already exists?
Indeed. Reading SICP should be a requirement for starting a YAML company.
> Even when the configuration file "describes a series of steps to change state", it's still declarative, because the configuration file is still declaring to the program how to operate

Not sure I buy that logic. With that reasoning, all code is declarative because it's "declaring to the interpreter/compiler" how to operate.

I think he's making the same point you did. In one case, the config file is laying out a sequence of steps like you did for how to make a burger (imperative). In the second case, the file just defines the end state (declarative).

Sure, you could say that the first case is declarative because the "end state" being defined is pipeline itself. But the point is that we're talking about how to get a burger, not define how to make one.
I actually worked at Amazon on the tool that crawled the web looking for lower prices on products which Amazon had a most favored nation clause on. This was in 2012 and the tool had been broken for multiple years and no one cared until I found it and fixed it.

After I fixed it I think in the first year it "made" Amazon $30M in lower payments to vendors(though it is hard to attribute exact monetary values due to complexity of the contracts)

But no one cared, I barely got any praise, no promo or anything. So I quit and went somewhere else.

They don't have to get it at wholesale price. They could have gotten one as a prize, but not want it. They could have gotten a great deal on one from AT&T or Verizon or T-Mobile, but just want to turn the deal into more cash by keeping their old phone and selling the new one. They might have gotten cash back by buying it on a credit card and be willing to sell it for slightly under MSRP to arbitrage the difference. All of these could lead to lower than MSRP prices.
Do you have a "healthy company" in mind?
But that typically old-school setup where there is only one way to make more money is move up the career ladder into management or in German “Führugskarriere”. I have no pity for these types of companies who don’t understand that a senior engineer is worth more than a young group leader. A few companies have started to change but Germany has along way to go to adapt from this mindset, but in reality there would be enough money just another distribution is necessary.
Pro Tools was cross-platform since 1997 with the release of the PCI version of Avid's AudioMedia III card and Digi 888 interface. By then most other extant DAW software, such as CuBase, had dropped Windows support, while MOTU Digital Performer was Mac-only until about 2015, though I can think of one Windows option that appeared around 1997, Sonic Foundry's Acid, which was Windows-only and reasonably popular.

Regardless, the point here is that there was a choice of OS platform with Pro Tools since 1997, and yet the vast majority of established studios used Macs. The brief window that Windows had to infiltrate that space was between 1997 and Mac OS 8 when Apple's flagship OS was already desperate for modernization, and 2005 and Mac OS X 10.4, when the OS was finally both stable and performed decently.

I suspect there were newer small (home) studios at the time that were fully PC, but these engineers would never consider running Macintosh. That's who used Windows... die hard PC users that subsequently got into audio engineering. But any established studios, even if they had no actual computers tracking and mixing audio until 2001 almost always went with the Pro Tools interface options running the software on Mac OS 9. Precious few studio installations that already had Mac switched to PC. New studios either invested in PC hardware initially as their first DAWs, or they didn't, but I expect most of these failed as a business for no other reason than most new businesses fail, it had nothing to do with their computer platform.

So Windows started to appear in pro audio between 1997-2005, but the PC platform just didn't have enough time to ever remotely become dominant. Maybe there were a lot of Windows DAWs out there, they just weren't surrounded by a purpose-built studio generating any revenue to speak of, and among actual ground-up purpose-built studios, Windows installations were a very rare exception. That said, engineers are gear junkes, and even in Mac studios there were bound to be an old PC and a handful of cheap PC laptops for stereo on-location tracking because they became cheaper and more reliable than a portable digital recorder.

This is a good perspective, I can’t imagine anyone who has lived in or spent any significant time in a third world country making such a ridiculous claim.

When a country’s poor can still manage to be overweight, have cell phones, have gaming consoles, have automobiles…your perception of poor might be a tad subjective.

And before folks go off on the “what abouts”, yes I realize there are some folks in the US without those things, but let’s face it, you sample just about any “poor” person in the US, you will find at least 50%+ of the things I listed.

I doubt that you could do that with a random sample of the poor in say Burundi
this is cool! I've recently tried to write a very basic shell in multiple languages, as a way to try a few languages [1].

I focused on languages I already had _some_ experience in for now, and I think my favorite so far is the one in Go – it's a good mix of things I care about: simple syntax, good performance, fast compilation, good tooling, rich standard library.

Nim comes close, except the error messages are harder to understand, and a few concepts are a bit foreign to me.

I fail to see what anything you state has to do with rebasing.

Rebasing ensures all commits from a feature branch are contiguous. Rebasing + squash ensures the main branch is not polluted with a myriad of useless intermediate commits no one is interested in. It also allows combining multiple commit message into a more coherent explanation of what changed instead of multiple tid-bits.

>Interstellar probes aren't cargo vessels.

They already carry a payload, and there's no reason the payload could not be anything we decided to put on them. In fact, their payloads are called exactly cargo: Voyager I famously had the golden record as cargo (among other things), both in design documents and press releases.

>It would take a rocket larger than any yet imagined to propel tons of nuclear waste completely beyond the gravitational influence of the solar system.

The Interstellar Voyager probes in the 1970s were nearly a ton (1820 lbs), on 1970 tech Titan IIIEs, which are vastly surpassed in size now. This part is nonsense. Do you just make stuff up?

>The USA alone has 85,000 tons of the stuff.

There's no need to send it all at once.

> What better way to spread highly radioative debris over the entire planet?

Which rocket failures, ever, spread stuff over the entire planet? Fear-mongering much?

Your statements as usual are hyperbole, like your other thread claiming your numerics were ok (even when demonstrated they fail at every range simple or not), and when called on it you first made up imaginary languages using imaginary compilers using made up, non-existent Intel instructions, and when called on that, you would not admit or reply.

Not a great track record for accurate analysis.

Everything you mention here is doable if someone wants to bad enough. There is no technical impossibility, only financial cost, to doing it.

>Does FTX.us have any exposure to FTX.intl?

I'd guess the geniuses at Alameda made sure to accomplish that already.
I don't think you should buy it; you've been programmed to believe it so that it becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. I think people are more satisfied with life when they have a purpose because they think they need a purpose, but that seems to me like a symptom of a prevalent mode of thought--Heidegger described the modern myth that we work with is that everything kind of represents a flat plane of potential to exploit and turn into utility or usefulness, and searching for some kind of overriding purpose seems like a consequence of that.

I think you should just explore religion (esp. Zen, Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Advaita), philosophy, literature, and yourself through first person experience until you intuitively feel the error of this entire mode of thought. It won't do to tell yourself that, although reaching the conclusion analytically makes for a first step. You have "meaning" and "purpose" sapping assumptions built into you, like modern materialist reductionism. Reductionism says that a thing amounts to the sum of its parts, but it's obviously fallacious. Try cutting a cat in half and putting the two parts back together and seeing if you have what you started with. Reductionism is a powerful mode of thought in certain circumstances, but it's not absolutely true.

I think we need to acknowledge what there is outside of ourselves, and recognize that the universal is always and only found in the the particular. Every blade of grass is alive with meaning, but it doesn't speak it in terms of utility and materialist reductionism.

Make the lives of a few people much, MUCH better by joining a clinical team and working on a clinical trial!

Pay is terrible compared to other tech jobs, but generally much better than the average salary, so you're not going to starve by any means. You get to be on a very smart team that treats patients. And every day is that "wow I can't believe I'm doing this, and also I don't really know what I'm doing" feeling — and it's shared by everyone because you're pushing the boundary of standard of care.

And the BEST part is that I'm not some tech genius, I haven't even worked at FAANG before, but everyone looks at you like you're some genius because you're most likely one of the very few technical people there- so you'll end up writing code, working with the lab and clinical team to document stuff, build data collection and report generation systems, etc. It's not as sexy as the next big fancy app, but again your work could help a lot of people.

But better yet, I think there are many more fields in the world that need a tech person to assist them like this, in any industry (from trucking to farming to clinical to whatever), and it'll be equally rewarding. Hope you find your next thing!
Just a guess - residential real estate pricing and commercial/industrial real estate pricing are not following the same trends.

The reason residential real estate keeps going up is partially due to zoning laws being out of wack on west coast. So just because the price of residential real estate in Kent keeps getting crazier, that doesn't mean the industrial one does as much.

Neurosymbolic Programming for Science
This article about fundamental principles thinking and just asking ”why?” until you’re at the base of the tree was super helpful for me in finding my fundamental driving force. https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/11/the-cook-and-the-chef-musks-s...
Neurosymbolic Programming (NP) techniques have the potential to accelerate scientific discovery. These models combine neural and symbolic components to learn complex patterns and representations from data, using high-level concepts or known constraints. NP techniques can interface with symbolic domain knowledge from scientists, such as prior knowledge and experimental context, to produce interpretable outputs. We identify opportunities and challenges between current NP models and scientific workflows, with real-world examples from behavior analysis in science: to enable the use of NP broadly for workflows across the natural and social sciences.
So, Cambridge Analytica. Facebook has been used as a source of electioneering data for years before that. See for example Eitan Hersh's testimony. In fact, I've read articles bragging about how inventive the political technology using social networking profiles is, for a couple of electoral cycles before that - they may still be somewhere in HN archives even. And of course, selling the very same data to advertisers, maybe repackaged a bit differently but the same source and same data set, is the whole business model of Facebook. And it somehow never bothered anyone until Cambridge Analytica. Why is that?
>Many dismiss RISC-V for its lack of software ecosystem as a significant roadblock for datacenter and client adoption, but RISC-V is quickly becoming the standard everywhere that isn’t exposed to the OS.

SemiAnalysis can confirm that these cores are actively being converted to RISC-V in future generations of hardware.[0]

So to answer your question, it is not in currently in hardware, but it is more than just speculation.
