Sounds (over)complicated. Isn't just a static html webpage on php/js backend with sqlite or even without, just grepping logs via cron, do the trick?

Having Nginx as a front-end, with static file caching enabled, would handle just fine the load from HN front page even on a RPi.

Larry has all sorts of questionable qualities, and there are plenty of reasons to leave (or use) Oracle, but some person being arbitrarily dismissive isn't really one of them. Unless the dismissiveness was over something very material.

"I would like to think it cost him at least a few of his racing yachts." - because the CEO/Director of a massive multinational conglomerate with 100 000 employees didn't arbitrarily have time for you?

Also - and this may have nothing to do with your experience - but for some reason some people feel as though they have the 'right' to other people's attention. The more influence people have the more people come out of the woods with this.

I do not envy anyone with an iota of influence or popularity, it's a constant stream of people demanding their focus, any one of which may or may not interpret something some way, or even take an actual real slight out of proportion. Also I find that people are bad at interpreting the state of mind of others.

Of course it's probably a good thing to move away from Oracle anyhow ...

Is it time to start eating people? Clearly it is:

In the year 2022, the cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution, and some apparent climate catastrophe have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water and housing. There are 40 million people in New York City alone, where only the city's elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water, and natural food, and even then at horrendously high prices. The homes of the elite usually include concubines who are referred to as "furniture" and serve the tenants as slaves.

Within the city lives NYPD detective Frank Thorn and his aged friend Sol Roth, a highly intelligent analyst, referred to as a "Book". Roth remembers the world when it had animals and real food, and possesses a small library of reference materials to assist Thorn. Thorn is tasked with investigating the murder of the wealthy and influential William R. Simonson, and quickly learns that Simonson had been assassinated and was a board member of Soylent Industries.

I teach system admin for a living. When Covid hit and on line classes became the norm we put 500GB ssd and 16GB memory into some Dell 5420 laptops(2011 era). We ran Google Classroom and up to 4 VMs (Win1X/Fedora3X) depending on the topic. Two years later we got modern dell machines with 32GB. After configuring the new machines for the same teaching environment I cannot see a big difference. It will be needed eventually as the demands of the VM guests change over time. For our current load not need yet.
Sure, it's important that I can verify what my computer is running. But it's also important that the MAFIAA et al. cannot. If there were some way of guaranteeing that attestation could only work for the owner, then I'd support it, but if that's not possible, then I'd rather it not exist at all.

Seems like you are pluralizing your own anecdote. Sorry for your issues though.
While I think the HN audience is definitely on the 'SQL for the internet' side of that gradient I don't think very many people (on the scale of the whole internet) are at all interested in that. I think if you were to graph the level of 'nuts and bolts' level interest among internet users it would follow an exponential decay and I don't see that turning around any time in the future.

The internet is not for tinkerers any more, it's for regular humans with regular human interests. We had our brief, glorious time when the internet was for people who liked to know how things work. That time is over and I don't think there's much money to be made targeting that market in general search. The average person not only doesn't mind if they see listicles in their results, they often look at them!
But we’d all be better off if people knew to take the internet with appropriate doses of skepticism.

I want to be a Sublime Text user. I want to give them my money. I want the performance of a native macOS app, but…

I’m a full-time Go developer. Last time I tried Sublime Text, I couldn’t get close to what I have in vscode with an all-in-one Go extension to handle `gopls` for function lookups/refactoring/etc and `golangci-lint` for linting, for example. I am even willing to live without integrated debugging if everything else is near perfect. Sublime gets so close with several extensions, but it didn’t feel coherent. Before I try again, is it worth the effort or is Go support still spread across several disparate extensions from different developers?
Yeah I think it’s why SBF immediately went on about not knowing everything that was going on, that he messed up by misunderstanding things, etc. He’s trying to lay the groundwork for plausible deniability here.

He will either go to prison or kill himself I would bet.
That sounds like some of the thinking that went into these historic arbitrage disasters.

Some young kid thought he knew better than his elders, and was doing arbitrage, which is moving around vast amounts of money, for very small gains (but safe ones).

They had all this money at their disposal, and just knew that these stuffy old farts were "missing the boat," so they figured that they'd just use a bit, to make a small bet, and put it back...

I'm saying that GDP used to measure energy growth. Now it has decoupled. That brings GDP in to question, not energy growth.

We know consuming energy leads to higher living standards. It is now quite possible for GDP to rise and living standards to fall - that used to be an impossible scenario when it was a measure of fossil fuel use.

That's because it's very cheap for an acolyte of twosidist 'journalism' to take 10 minutes to scroll through Twitter, find an inflammatory hot take by @weedfeast68, and spend a few minutes talking about how 'Twitter is saying <ridicilous thing>'

It's the digital equivalent of picking a rando off the street to ask him for his opinion about the optimal deployment of pacific aircraft carrier groups, and of homelessness trends downtown, but it doesn't even require the journalist to get out of his chair.

You're thinking of nuclear. Which has a variety of critical resources and no plan reduce them. Renewables live in the real world where using less of a scarce resource allows you to outcompete your competition.

Modern perc panels use 30-50g (so half of silver production would produce 500GW/yr) of silver per net kW with commercial but not fully deployed technologies to reduce it to 18-30g, and feasible technologies to bring it below 5g (which is what a nuclear reactor uses). This is the only limiting resource that renewables necessarily use more of than nuclear other than concrete.

The number of visible strikes is a sign of union FAILURE,not success. The way unions work in the English speaking world is quite toxic and one of the major reasons they have such a bad reputation with so many people.

Not saying they are all 100% bad but the big anti-union push and negative perception is not some pay-op like some people seem to think it is. It is based on assessing their behaviour and for many deciding it is quite unreasonable.
To repeat myself: you are arguing against a point I have not made, and I am certainly not saying that Australia has resource curse.

That said, I will respond to yet another of your non-sequitur comments: the first heading in the Wikipedia article is about a type of resource curse called https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease which does apply to advanced economies and could be relevant to Australia.

My guess is that samatman is just saying that Australia’s increasing dependence on resource exports could have negative outcomes - a grey area rather than black & white thinking one or t’other. I would guess he isn’t suggesting 100% resource-curse (or Dutch Disease), but that the needle could move from 10% resource-curse to 30% resource-curse. The graph of percentage agricultural exports in the link I gave is what should be worrying - could resources have the same trend in value?

Given that there are other first world countries (like Norway and petroleum) that seem to be managing their resource wealth, hopefully Australian politicians can avoid problems too.

Australia’s people rely on exports and imports for their first world benefits. How many years would it take to become third world if the borders were closed?

What could possibly make the support guy act like that? The only thing I can imagine is the support being accountable for sending out too many spares. But that shouldn't really be a phone guy's responsibility?

The other thing that sticks out is that the support must normally have an idea what client they are talking to, it's not like the company would order 350 laptops one by one on different names. A $350k client tries to get a replacement for a $50 part? Better hold your ground!

The story sounds like a fiction or a wet dream, but given how easy it is to underestimate the extent of idiocy, I'd say it's really hard to tell for sure. If the story is real, the vendor totally had it coming.
> In September, 2 months in, I was not only trying to make as many songs as possible, under the nagging time pressure of my sabbatical slipping away like sand; I also started working with other musicians.

The author focuses a lot on the prolific creation and "boring" routine, which I completely agree with, and I want to steal some of their routine for my own creative time.

However I think they're underselling the impact of the time pressure and the collaboration with others that keeps them accountable for actually doing the thing. Also the enormous continuous chunk of free time for this to all happen in.

I'll be very interested to know the follow up to: "I now know I can make as many albums as I want without even needing to take time off work."
Of course they do it because they can manufacture something that people will pay for out of nothing, and then can use that for other things that get them real value.
No, to be compatible with open, multi-brand infrastructure on a common standard with no need for adapters and dongles. If Tesla truly wants to "accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy" then they will switch to CCS in North America.

Not that bad? Hate it less? What an exciting pitch for the new nuisance in your neighborhood.

In Emacs, if you select a region of text and invoke undo, it applies only to the selected text. Very useful sometimes.
I can't edit this anymore but another thing to point out about the link above is that one of the subpages contains care manuals for several types of popular animals and the statuses of other care manuals in AZA's pipeline that are being reviewed for publication.

These manuals are INSANELY detailed. There is absolutely no question that the keepers who helped create these manuals genuinely care about the animals they tend to. (Some of the manuals specify how large exhibits should be depending on whether the animals are staying on exhibit for a while or are preparing for a transition back into the wild!)

Folks that are on engineering organizations (like IEEE) or working groups (like the Kubernetes or Bluetooth SIGs) might appreciate the nuances here!

I also learned that zoologists from Disney's Animal Kingdom are HUGE contributors to these manuals and that Walt Disney himself was key in inspiring zoos to shift away from entertainment and towards conservation!
Putin has plenty of interest in sabotaging the pipelines. If the pipelines are destroyed, one cannot kill Putin, take over, and sell gas to europe again to be rich.

And that those person(s) don't think logically before they act. Why would Eli ever make their product free? It's like apple saying free iPhones to some degree. If the troll tweet was "we're reducing the price to (cost + 30%)" that'd be relatively much more plausible and altruistic.

A large amount of computation takes place in the gut, largely by the foreign bacteria that make up our gut flora, and the gut has direct lines of two-way communication with the brain. Hence the term "gut feeling".

The brain certainly does a lot of heavy lifting, but I think if you took a person's brain out of their human body and into a robot body instead, they'd probably have dramatic shifts in personality, behavior, thought processes, feelings, worldview, etc. It would probably be on a similar level as those experiments where people use magnetic or electric pulses on their brain or whatever and observe large personality changes.

reminds me of the old days of 4 track recording where you'd bounce 3 channels down to one, rerecord, bounce again. lather rinse repeat. by the time you got to the 3 or so round (depending on the quality of the tape) it would be pretty gnarly.

back when i worked in a VHS dubbing facility, we'd get bored and do stupid stuff like this taking a master to VHS, then using the VHS as a master to make dub of dub of dub. after the 8th dub, it was pretty trash. Similarly, we'd take a video in -> video out to another VCR -> video out cascading down until the original signal to the video in of the last VCR was trash. (the place was wired correctly with proper video DAs. we did this because it was 3rd shift and no supervision)
