>Setting up NFSv4, I spent two evenings on that before abandoning it.

That's really a bit of a pain (lack of a good tutorial/doc)

>Virtual network for a bunch of jails with nat.

I solved that this way: Create'd a vnet haproxy-jail (the tls-terminator and "forwarder") all other jail's a "non-vnet" with a internal IP.

But you can do it with just nat'd jails and haproxy as the terminator...no problem, do you need some pf examples?

>Getting newer versions of software. Often the version available in pkg is several major versions out of date.

Same on Linux-Distros, freebsd is pretty much on par:

>Documentation for how to do things in general. Yeah when there are docs/tutorials they can often be of high quality, but frequently there is just nothing or the available docs does not cover the edge case you are trying to solve.

Can you give some examples so one could do something against it? NFSv4 with kerb and ldap is one..i know ;)

This blogpost by a self-taught engineer at Uber gives a framework for deciding what to blog about that I really resonate with.
"As a rule of thumb, any topic that passes any of the following litmus tests is a good candidate for a blog post or conference talk:
1. The most senior engineer you know would find the information and subject matter compelling.
2. People who read the post think: “Wow, I can’t believe they managed to <something really hard or difficult to figure out>. I really wish we had someone like that who could help us with <thorny problem>”.
3. The subject matter is deep in a way that readers are unlikely to be able to obtain the same information anywhere else."

Middle Volga region of Russia. The shells were quite tough and clearly inedible - maybe different varieties of pumpkin.
Meta haven't made anything remotely resembling that yet, though. They've got pretty generic avatars performing canned animations in a VR environment.

It seems like it will probably take them 5-10 years of hard research, likely with many dead ends and false starts, to get there.

In Apple terms, they have announced the iPhone before doing all of the capacitive touch research and UX development that actually made the pubic want the product.

While it might be possible for them to eventually achieve their vision, it seems like a bad idea to try to drive so much hype this early with faked videos. It's very likely that the public (especially Wall Street) will lose patience waiting for them to actually make what they've promised.
To be fair though, this was a decade ago, and he also published an apology; personally when I see people treating others badly, in a way I've treated others badly, it bothers me more than it otherwise would've, so it's entirely possible experiences like this are why a.) bothers him.
"So there is a chance some people will become recreational vampire-feeders and some people will adopt vampirism as a hobby. Fine, I won't judge. "

A doctor's job is to apply studies of groups to you as an individual, taking into account your circumstances.

You may feel that their motives are flawed. Find a doctor who will explain their reasoning to you, then.

HN is full of non-doctors and extreme partisans. There is no way to get good medical advice here.
Another data point from Europe: messaging apps are scattered by demographics, not location.

By decreasing age:

SMS
Whatsapp
Signal
? (I'm old enough I don't know what younglings use these days)

iMessage has a more tribal spread due to its platform specifics.

Note: I have zero data to back it up, so please correct me if you have data.
GDB also uses Python for scripting, and Python is the official scripting language for the VFX and games industry (in what concerns tooling), all major products support it.

A newcomer will have a hard time replacing it.
My audio quality journey went from:

- 192 kbps CBR mp3 - this was supposed to be good enough (it is) and I had an iPod with only 20 GB so I went with it

- V0 VBR mp3 - I told myself I could hear the difference on my now slightly fancier headphones, and this would not kill my OiNK and later What.cd ratio as fast as lossless

- FLAC, if possible 192 KHz and 24 bit - now I got into really expensive headphones and I only downloaded the most verified of torrents (if possible vinyl rips) or I ripped using all the EAC/Paranoia guides out there. Played music via Foobar2000 with some plugins to minimize “interference” in the audio path. Had a full DAC + Amp setup

- Got a job and kids

- 256 kbps VBR AAC, via Bluetooth to my AirPods Pro - I don’t have time anymore to fret about audio quality, streaming is so super convenient and let’s be honest, above a certain baseline no one hears the difference anyway…
the actual server itself probably works under emulation but the issue is then that when it ssh's in it still uses shell commands to detect the host type, which I can't so easily hack to make it look like Linux without breaking everything else.
From the original comment:

> "The campus provides workspace for about 2,700 employees (including three of the university’s eight vice presidents) working in critical areas such as the School of Medicine administration, libraries and archives, business affairs, human resources, development and Land, Buildings & Real Estate. Stanford will be the city’s third-largest employer in Redwood City."

Administration for the school of medicine is literally the first group cited.

Stanford Medical is everywhere around here.
Sure I just think that it is still open source, but I think we're on the same page.
But it leaks blocks of memory right?

So when we get a full segment we can free them all at the same time?

Sorry, couldn't resist...
The gas end-to-end "efficiency" will not improve drastically ever, while for an electrical stove it is tied to energy production.
Arguing with end-to-end efficiencies and power plants is misleading, as I can power my induction stove from my solar panels
Data sharing has close to a quarter of a million forks.
This project would have to become an extremely popular experiment before it starts pushing that limit.

That said, I hope it does; this is a great and fun project.
Now is the 10th anniversary from 1st SAO anime. As Palmer said, it was exactly the right time for Oculus movement.
Still the best solution is to combine robotics with humans. Humans are still infinitely flexible and much easier to dispose off than an expensive robot /sarcasm.
It was nearly 10 years ago, so Im hoping those people have matured and changed since then. When you're younger you do and say a lot of stupid things that you look back and regret a lot. Its easy to get caught up in the moment with friends and collegues when you're still developing as a person and trying desperately to fit and impress your peers or others, so you tend to do stupid things. Experience changes you and I hope thats what happened to these people.
Note that public transports moving nearly empty doesn't waste much money: it's a common misconception.

Rail is mostly capex with little opex, and fare is set above opex anyway. Tracks are already built and trains are already bought. You need to pay back capex with fare, so every little ridership helps, and people's transportation choice is very sensitive to how often trains run (therefore how long they need to wait), so often the optimal choice is to run trains as much and as often as possible, even if they are nearly empty. Absolute ridership number is much more important than how full trains are.
Yep, we talked about it for a long time, but it did in fact complete on time and under budget. It's expanding slowly because there's a lot of pushback to adding more, which is a bummer.

We need like 8x the amount of rail here, at least.
Having learnt surfing some months ago, and having been surprised by the amount of aggressiveness/shouting/bad manners in the water, I've also noticed that the ones making the loudest noises are not the best surfers, these just seem to be doing their own thing, the shouty ones are not necessarily the bad surfers, but rarely you'll see the really good ones out there being angry at everyone.
Super Cub Electric? Would be a game changer especially if it wasnt premium priced.

Sounds like a good way to get rid of low quality accounts. It doesn't get much more pathetic than paying $8 for the chance to troll and knock furniture over as you exit Twitter in a huff.
Just because you don't like the analogy doesn't mean Elon isn't a clown
I agree with you. It's simple - if you're against Musk, you're against the betterment of humanity.
The point is that if each return journey requires propellant, you need to restock. An EM rail gun can just use solar power for continuous return. Rail guns are a present day technology.

You will already need substantial solar power and batteries, that’s not in question.
My grandfather gave me my first computer when I was a kid at 7. Since then those boxes had something like a magic aura for me and the more I learned about it the more I was curious about how stuff worked. Ffwd 17 years later and I'm a self-taught full-Stack Web-Developer.
I'm wondering where I would have landed if I didn't had a computer back then, maybe in retail, I dont know.

Interesting how one feedback loop can guide you through your whole life
They aren't adding new stops in between existing stops.

Trains board and deboard WAY faster than busses.

And the link has grade separated track most of the way. So it cannot be slowed by traffic.

There's no reason to think it would be slower than it is today, which is to say, often faster than a single occupancy vehicle.
A Pi Pico Oscilloscope
>K8s and Docker are purely Linux things.

Which I happen to know. But it was an example. If I am going to switch to FreeBSD it has to run the software I need, not to merely provide alternatives. And it has to do it better.

Saying that FreeBSD has jails as an alternative is akin to saying Linux has Gimp as an alternative to Photoshop. Not many are going to switch operating systems to use Gimp instead of Photoshop.
The hell of it is, it isn't criminal. It has been made wholly legal!
Maybe it’s non idiomatic JavaScript or something.

The idea of it sounded good to me - I often used to want to find files and modify them in place and used find, grep and perl (options were -pi -e? Can’t remember!) … I should have made a script to make this easier but was always on different servers so just tried to remember how.

Perhaps tools make it easier these days and this code is somehow not needed if you learn the tools - and could have been a shell alias or something.

Still, the point is you shouldn’t mock other people’s work. Would you like your child’s work to be mocked by strangers? Would you like your parent’s work to be mocked by strangers? Don’t mock people’s work. It’s easy to feel the urge to do this on the Internet where it feels like the human behind something isn’t a real person, but they really are.
Always testing my understanding of new programming languages, libraries or concepts by playing around with them until I could mentally "walk around" them like I can mentally walk around my neighborhood[1], then being drawn to the next thing just outside my field of experience and understanding.

In short not moving on before mastery, then moving on after mastery.

[1] I think this analogy is fitting because the drive that makes write five versions of a three line function feels similar to the drive that makes me choose whatever path I haven't walked down before when going to some errand or another.
I recently read Rutger Bregman's "Humankind" (original Dutch tile: Most people are kind), and it really seems to be true, I like the optimistic tone of the book and perhaps it's indeed robbing you of beautiful experiences when you are to distrustful towards others... And then there is twitter. Like a filter for the worst of the worst, I just stay away from it. Twitter helps me with that because having no account means that every encounter ends in that curse inducing black screen when you're half way into reading a tweet and the back button doesn't even work.
This stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It is extremely unpleasant :-) It makes me appreciate good typefaces more, my favorites being anything designed by Matthew Carter. Legendary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Carter
You misunderstand it, if you don't need sudo you probably better uninstall it, what's your "real-world"-problem with that? If you work with images you might want to "deinstall" root as well....
> this a massive pain if you happen to work on a project that isn't GPL compatible

Good. And I hope that continues to be the case.

The harder life is for non-copyleft licensed software and ecosystem the more society stands to benefit and the more the software industry stands to redeem itself.
Yes and this is corruption by design, to allow the top to profit "off the books" legally.

Consultants shower the brass lavishly with creative methods of legal bribery, like inviting them for talks and paying them huge fees or promising comfy positions after their retirement from public office.

To earn that back, they overcharge through the nose for projects.

The race is won in many regions, at least for cars. But in regions with low uptake of EVs, such as Australia for example, the race is still on. There are significant problems that still need to be addressed for EVs to reach their tipping point, and they will be addressed. But HFC cars could surprise people and come out ahead if a way can be found to transport fuel efficiently. Especially if the tech to convert diesel engines to run on 90% hydrogen can be done cost effectively, meaning large fleets could be converted without waiting for vehicles needing to be replaced.
forgive my off topicness but I wish someone would buy the Boosted Boards IP from Lime and open source the firmware. Boosted Boards were epic.
I think you know Docker runs on Windows and macOS.

Interesting. That must be the case. It never occurred to me to shell them or even that they could be shelled.

Musk is certainly helping that platform.

Tomato tomato in my mind. On HN you're more likely to find nitpicky objections and backhanded compliments instead, but there's still people who will come into the thread just to tell you they think you're a bad engineer failing to solve irrelevant problems. Which, to be clear, is bullying.
LTS from RedHat/clones gives you like 7 years to adopt for new release. Enough time from my POV.

Not even mentioning nowdays Linux is largely just layer to run docker and noone cares on learning things beyond docker-compose and docker files.

Save water and the planet

Perfect passive cooking works, years tested: 500g of pasta + 1-1.2 L of water cooked in a pressure cooker under high setting for 2 mins with natural release. (edit: setup is defunct Fagor + induction cooker)

It's just that simple and no water to discard except through GI tracts.
According to the article: work.

"Haters gonna hate"

You get used to this as soon as you get any sort of success as a creator. It says more about them that it does about you. If you are getting hate, you know you are doing something right.
> I did get to be present and watch the telemetry stream cut out as Cassini (purposely) crashed into the Saturnian atmosphere and was obliterated. Lots of people had spent two decades of their lives with that spacecraft. Many cheered and many cried.

I remember this well, I saw the footage of the footage they shot during the event on the lawn at CalTech as it happened in a presentation I attended with one of the members of the program at CU Boulder a few days/weeks after the 'end of mission.'

It looked incredibly emotive, did you decide to leave JPL for private Industry?

I can't imagine you wanted to stay in the public sector (NASA) if that is how you felt about it; I say that despite having conflicting views from two who worked at the AIMS program: Josiah Zayner (Biohacker) was disgruntled, whereas Shannon Rupert (Director of MDRS) has continued her work with both Mars Society and NASA.
They were comparing later Einsten to young Einsten, not to the rest of us. Most of the discoveries you listed earlier came during the "miracle year" in his mid 20s. The remaining one (general relativity) came about ten years later, though it's the one that made him really famous. That's more than probably every other physicist so maybe it's unfair to keep ask what he did next. But it makes sense that lots of early success can lead someone to overreach and reduce their later accomplishments. Didn't Feynman say something like that regarding the negative effect of the Nobel prize on physicists.
I mean Musk has to cut something, makes sense that he would cut the stuff that doesn't affect the revenue first. There is absolutely nothing preventing him from hiring a new human rights team later on when he feels that it is needed.

It sucks for employees but to be completely honest I find it so puzzling that people were caught unaware. Did they think that Twitter would avoid a restructuring at some point down the line, given how badly the stock performed? If not Elon it would be an actual P.E outfit doing the exact same thing.
The article implies that the admin:student ratio has grown, but does not demonstrate this. The chart should show the growth in that ratio, alongside the growth in tuition cost.
If you look at a specific person, yes. But there is a constant influx of new people, and a fraction haven't made the important developments yet. So you'll always have some problem-makers in your community.
Singapore is not a great comparison, because construction is largely done by armies of migrant workers paid starvation wages, who are sent back home at the slightest hint of complaint (example: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/nine-men-public-as...).

But Japan and Europe don't, and they still manage to deliver public transport for much less.

No place is perfect unless you are living in Utopian LaLa land or one has drunk too much KoolAid. There are problems which are being addressed by state / central governments.

In my home state of Kerala, there is plenty of Water and decent Hydel plants for power.So even the argument that you place is only tangentially accurate.
Gruber was picking on Apple which was apparently too rude and not acceptable.
Yes, much easier, Linux is a mess, the firewall disgusting, LVM...buah. The only problem BSD have, are drivers. But you obviously never worked with BSD...unbloated systems ARE easier to use.
I also buy his "Twitter makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole" claim.

Its really hard to make a complex argument in 140 characters (as it was back in 2013), even if he wanted to. The short format really invites these "just a few word" opinion pieces. I think its easy to see how this, given the right ingredients, can trigger a misunderstanding or at least an incomplete understanding.

Text lacks a lot of context humans usually communicate via voice and facial expressions. Lowering the information even more by restricting the amount of text can make it hard to convey the intent.

I am not saying "his tweet was fine, just misunderstood" here btw. I do not know his indent when writing this tweet. And I think its on the author to make sure their message can reasonably be understood as intended.

But I also see how something like this can happen without malintent on the authors side.
So would you have been ok if the OP said "it's so easy to use even a toddler can use it ?"

Sure sexism is valiant cause to fight but at some point it's becoming a complete joke and no one takes you seriously anymore ! Grandma's example do apply here.

If you take a 100 random grandmas, 100 random middle aged people and a 100 toddlers and give them a basic cognitive test (not IQ) just basic stuff like
processing speed, problem-solving and tech skills.

You'd be GUARANTEE to see difference between the groups and to pretend difference doesn't exist is just plain stupid and ignorant of the real world.

If grandmas over the world suddenly want to apply to be airline pilots, would you support it ? Would you feel safe ? Would prefer your child fly with a toddler, middle-aged or grandma pilot ?
The real answer for me (and probably many other folks who are talking financial success):
1. Genuine interest in tech
2. Long periods of time alone with a computer
3. Being fairly early in a big section of the industry (web)
4. Aggressive "speed running" salary which got me near really smart folks
This is a great question. I have an art degree in Animation and Visual Effects, now I’m about 6 years in as a VFX Pipeline Engineer.

#2 and #3 together are what I credit my success to. Showing authentic passion during interviews is also a hard requirement, as well as having good values that successful hard working people tend to value. For example happily and confidently admitting when you don’t know something. Also having the integrity and self esteem to admire and show open respect for colleagues who know more than me - ESPECIALLY if I notice myself feeling insecure towards the person for whatever reason(like we’re hired at the same with same title but they clearly are ahead of me). So far my 2 most valuable mentors were initially colleagues who made me feel insecure About my skills but, I literally locked my kicking and screaming ego in the closet while proceeding to befriend and become vulnerable with them to the point they adored showing and teaching me stuff. Advice for this insecurity: learn something from these people then directly incorporate it into your work and proudly give them credit for it. Poof, you gain some of what they have that you didn’t and your crying ego in the closet cant say shit now can it hahaha.

Above all else, I give myself credit for always taking interviews even though I knew I was probably out of my league and terrified - because it wasn’t the job I was after but rather the confidence I imagined I could have for the next one. If you can’t be confident and charismatic in interviews then i don’t see how you can het hired anywhere for anything that matters to you.
Most things are easier to master than C++, Fortran included.
They should change their youtube channel next, to impersonate official google staff and services and see what happens. You know, for lolz and likes.
