Doesn't GitHub itself have an Issues page?
That's because the founder passed away this Summer after a long struggle with mental health:

https://twitter.com/software_daily/status/155561241447724237...
Even the majority of “command line devs” are satisfied by Mac or even WSL for their machines. The servers they connect to are almost always Linux, however.
This looks really good! I would very much love the "revert all the changes to a file" feature as part of the standard GitHub PR-review interface.
"reduce, repair, reuse, recycle"

Plastics are some of the most long-lasting materials. It's kind of insane that we treat them as disposable.
I think it do ask you whether you want to change the setting, except the default is nuking all your settings.

And something even more annoying is: That pops up in the OOBE of every major update. If you accidentally click "yes", your settings fxxks up. Come on, I already click "no" last time, you shouldn't even ask me again about this.
"Market forces" by definition do not guarantee usage, as they would use the cheapest form of electricity.

As it turns out, the industry is willing to build new nuclear if and only if 1) the government guarantees 100% usage of the offered capacity 2) the government is willing to pay for the difference between the market price of electricity and a (higher) fixed fee.

The fixed pricing of nuclear is often way higher than the market price - even with 100% capacity usage. It is simply not able to compete with dirt-cheap solar and wind energy. The free market is aware of this, so they are unwilling to take the risk without guaranteed government subsidies.
Depends on culture. In some culture arriving late is a privilege, since everyone will be there to observe your entrance. Seats, food, entrance will be guaranteed for you. Heck, we see it in the US with the clubbing scene.
Is there a succession plan in place given the bus factor [1] with such a small team? Is anyone else concerned about maintenance if either a normal everyday medical issue came up or in the worst case something unimaginable?

The comment section on HN is for comments and discussions of people so yes any form of generated responses does IMHO fundamentally disqualify.

I mean to nitpick if a AI becomes sentient and flexible enough to be called a person and decides to comment on their own that would be fine.

But when it comes to:

- auto generating responses

- hiring people to generate responses for you

- anything similar to the other points

I think it should not be allowed.

But I have no idea how to enforce this reasonably.
Some correction though.

AOT is already a thing since .NET 1.0, but NGEN has always had the inconvenience of AOT on install with dynamic linking.

WinRT brougth MDIL on Windows 8.x, replaced by .NET Native on Windows 10.

Mono has always had AOT, specially due to Xamarin for Android.

Unity uses AOT for C# code, via translation of IL into C++, IL2CPP.

Currently Native AOT only supports CLI and libraries, .NET 8 hopefully will support GUI applications as well.
Ask HN: Core Audio iOS app? What should I build?
I want to build a native iOS application in a niche and interesting topic and I've chosen Core Audio.

I'd like to build an app that solves some problem that is either yet unsolved, or solved poorly, or isn't free (or is prohibitively expensive for hobbists)

Does anyone on HN have any ideas? I'm all ears.
Unrelated, but your username is genius!
The web based Office 365 my university gives us seems to work as well on Linux as any other platform AFAIK (unfortunately that's still not perfect). It did claim to need Edge for some things, but that's relatively minor.
Usability of Linux desktop environments isn't perfect but at least the trend is steady improvement. The days of having to do weird stuff just to make some everyday USB device work when you plug it in are mostly gone. The software available for Linux in a few areas is now genuinely best in class. It's not always the same exact applications you might be used to but then that's true of moving between Windows and macOS as well.

My own experience of modern Linux is very different to yours. I don't think I've had to completely clean and reinstall any Linux system I use - desktop or server - for over a decade. Some of those systems have been through multiple full OS upgrades in that time but those were done in place and usually without losing anything (or gaining anything unwanted).

It's obviously not perfect. Some of the recent Wayland changes got released by some distros before some of the applications that do video calls were fully ready for them and that caused problems with remote working for example. But it's paradise compared to the danger of installing any modern version of Windows or any Apple OS and getting serious regressions or overtly user-hostile new "features" that you can't turn off.

I do think there's room for a modern desktop OS that doesn't have all the historical baggage of Linux. Not having a permissions model that sandboxes apps and the data they work with by default seems very outdated in 2022 for example. The traditional filesystem hierarchy is unnecessarily complicated and not well suited to modern systems. We rely on container technologies for professional work now because the package management and installation/update mechanics are so fragile (though no worse than Windows or macOS IMHO). I just wish the barriers to entry weren't so high now that it is tough for anyone to build a new desktop OS from the ground up any more.

Used ones cost slightly less than they cost new, particularly considering inflation.

I started watching Techmoan and similar YouTubers. I have some nostalgia for compact cassettes and saw a video where they used a Dolby S deck and metal tapes and made very good recordings... Hardware like that came in around the time I was in grad school and went into a hole so it was "better than I remembered". There are Dolby S decks on the market for prices that seem within reach but the metal tapes are like $40 a piece now.

Optimal cassettes might sound as good or better than minidisc but rewinding is a hassle. They still make cassette decks and tapes but they are much worse than what was made 30 years ago. With NetMD you can record audio from your computer to a MD the same way you do with a computer which is easy: there's something to say for media that let you record your own music so you aren't stuck with what got released on SACD or can find on vinyl (which isn't too bad.)

It still seems silly when I've got several devices in my backpack usually that can play music including the Tracfone I use for emergencies.
Where can one get those similar Rolex’s? For science
> The chairs cost approximately $3.50 to produce
Seems like a non problem. If it's a dull comment or just inane it'll get downvoted out of existence. If the bot actually produces something interesting about the topic, what's the problem?
I appreciate you explaining the journey and issues.. I am on a similar journey / path.

I wonder what size is "Just one large 4K monitor affords a lot" - is it a 55inch? a 28 inch?

and perhaps, what is the average space from eyes to screen for you / other folks?
Something these articles never mention is the cargo conundrum:

If one of these cargo airships puts down its heavy cargo in a remote location the airships whole mass balance changes – the airship is suddenly far lighter because it doesn’t contain the mass of the cargo anymore. To keep the airship from rising into orbit of the mass of the cargo must be replaced (or the expensive helium let go). The german Cargolifter startup back in the late 90s intended to do this with pumped water and I remember a prototype demonstrating that successfully by lifting and lowering a tank.

But: To transport your cargo to that remote, inaccessible location you’ll need to transport the airship ground support to that remote, inaccessible location: infrastructure for anchoring, a pump, a generator for that pump, fuel, and possible the same mass of water as the cargo. And if you can transport all that mass by conventional means to that remote, inaccessible location, chances are high that you can already transport the cargo to that location.
In business, failure is the default outcome, not a negative. Someone who has failed 9 times and won big once is pretty much in the same place as someone who has tried once and succeeded once. Both are way ahead of someone who is 0-0.
> the people who started dressing like Steve Jobs. Elizabeth Holmes and Mark Zuckerberg come to mind as people who did this in an obvious way.

Zuckerberg was never known for copying the look of Steve Jobs. I doubt you can find multiple photos from different dates that demonstrates the claim.

Zuck wore zip hoodies and flip flops; the version of Jobs that Zuckerberg would have been exposed to did not dress that way (Jobs might have worn flip flops to work in the 1970s, given the era). Zuck wore plain, grey-blue, short sleeve shirts; Jobs did not. There isn't much to Zuck's sense of style beyond that it's simplistic and very casual - which is from the era he grew up in and how his young peers around him dressed.

Holmes by contrast did attempt to directly mimic the look of Jobs.
I've been trying to use SQLite3 in an embedded (ESP32 -- dual core 240MHz w/ qspi NOR flash) project and the performance has been surprisingly bad. Seems like the minimum amount of time to make a query (even for example, selecting from a table that does not exist, takes a minimum of 5ms). For a simple table with 10 short columns I'm getting 10s of milliseconds per record to SELECT. I can parse whole JSON files with the same data to RAM faster then I can query SQLite which seems wrong. SQLite is performing ~10x worse than I'd expected it would.

Anyone had experience running SQLite on low-power embedded platforms? Is this expected performance?
Oh, yes. Have touched Ada in VHDL (using Ada declarations syntax), declarations in Ada are very long, but extremely powerful.

Have not seen any comparable in popular languages (except Modula 3, which is for same domain), nearest as for me, guard expressions of Erlang.
Dr. Casey Fiesler recently tweeted

> The @huggingface GPT detector works very well on ChatGPT-created text. I ran 5 student essays and 5 ChatGPT essays for the same prompt through it, and it was correct every time with >99.9% confidence.

How about adding a %human/%GPT statistic to posts and comments?
I’ve had better luck with rolling release desktops because at least things break and change slowly over time.

Each new Ubuntu is a whole new beast on the desktop (and sometimes even on server).
Well...

Nothing to add, so, I took quotes and grouped them.

Hacker News is :

1- a jungle of expertise.

" tripping over each other's areas of expertise which were literally years in the making. "
" I shouldn't compare my personal knowledge with the combined knowledge of a community "

2- an "evanescent" stream of trends

" A lot of the trends people get fixated on tend to fade away in a few months "
" The four topics you list are all high BS "

3- a leading edge

" HN bubble will always make readers feel behind when in reality 90% of the industry hasn’t even begun to catch-up "
" No need to keep up with the "bleeding edge" of technology "

So you should :

1- Try to just enjoy it

" Stop taking fomo quite seriously. I suggest that you just stop giving a shit. "
" JOMO (joy of missing out) "
" here for the smart(er) people with experience in different areas. The thing that makes you anxious is the reason I enjoy being here "

2- Work on you negative feelings

" stressed that they HAVE to learn more. "
" feelings of insecurity and inferiority and the imposter syndrome "
" If you want to feel relieved you could try reading the comments section when some topic you know stuff about is posted "

3- Reflect on you personal knowledge needs

" prioritize whatever you want or need in life "
" allocation your effort toward things you need to know for progress, and indexing those things you dont need to know right now "
" you've been working in software for almost 20 years and all of the stuff that doesn't concern you actually doesn't concern you. "

Its too Janes Steet specific.
So, what's rehab for Windows users? :)
iTerm2 actually offers nice interfacing with tmux. If you run `tmux -CC` it will start a tmux session that iTerm abstracts away letting you split and switch panes as you normally would in iTerm, but still allowing you to join the tmux session on another terminal.

why? (actually curious)
My favorite part about this "helpful" prompt is that "no" is tiny text at the corner of the screen, and the yes-please-change-all-my-defaults button is a giant "ok".

This kind of behavior should be illegal, IMO.
From whereabouts?
I think there's a bit of an idea now that you should be expressing yourself with your money, not expressing society's ideas. Around cars and watches, this creates a little bit of a "dead zone" for prestigious professionals.

For example, if you aren't showing up in a $200k Maserati, your car had better be under $50k (maybe $70k with inflation). Only posers who aren't really into cars but want to show off their wealth spend $120k on a car.

For watches, the same thing happens: if you're wearing a watch less than $50k, it had better be under $500. Otherwise you probably don't care much about watches.

Clothing seems to be the same at many companies: you had better wear tailored suits and shirts or be less dressy than "business casual."
Oh really? Where are these widely used/popular Android desktop and/or laptop machines?
The massive cost comes from defeating gravity and getting stuff off of this planet. Cost reductions probably won't happen until the ISS turns into an orbital city with spacecraft manufacturing capabilities. The JWST engineers talked about the importance of building future telescopes and spacecrafts in space, it's a very important technological milestone for humanity.

Mass drivers and orbital elevators are common in fiction but I don't know what the scientific consensus is on the viability of such structures.
Yeah, it’s disappointing to see it here without context or analysis. Watching people pretend not to know that every popular social network has tools like this or that it’s a secret has been sad.
I left google. After half a year I have received dmarc reports from a site other than google just once. So did it matter if 99% of people I email are still using google? They have every email I have sent anyway.
I'm floored by this story. The personal anecdotes are harrowing, but what truly surprised me was the scale: half of all women of reproductive age, reducing the birthrate to 1/3 of its value in just 10 years is far worse than I expected.
A plastic laundry basket can be made to last forever. That's the point of this post.
Never run Windows updates. I've always seen shady behavior with them and they did nothing significant in my case for my system in any way.

I don't use windows at all but it is just giant pit of advertisements targeted towards the very basic computer users
Google’s approach to China is the same realpolitik as Apple and privacy.

Google was never going to get what it wanted/needed in China, so walking away was a pragmatic stance projected as an act of courage, etc.

Google and Apple are actually more similar than one would thing. They are both leveraging their ownership of powerful segments, and they are both threatened by integrated software stacks. The big difference is that Google does creepy shit as a first party, and Apple outsources that to third parties.

Google’s ad business was hurt by Facebook/Instagram and the dearb of the web. Apple’s existential threat is someone making WeChat for the US.

You only need a single confirmation these days. It takes 10 minutes.

Source: have been doing this for years.
The more you learn, the more you learn how much you will never know. You have to accept that. Get used to saying, "I don't know". Using and being ok with that phrase is one of the most anxiety reducing phrases we have. Life is a collection of coincidences, so I check the front page of HN once/day. Whatever else I miss, "I don't know."
It's true. Hateful ideologies make people see everyone who disagrees with them as threats to social order; make people equate expressing an opinion with physical violence. It's concerning that these authoritarian ideologies, in which the enlightened few want to limit the rights of the dumb, uneducated, deplorable many "for their own good," have spread so far and wide, causing so much real-world harm. We need to combat these mind viruses if we want to preserve democracy and civil rights.

Since the only real point of h/he is to replace air, what about using neither ? Has anyone ever attempted to build a vacuum airship ?
Pay your employees more. Free Markets.

Not that the HN team isn’t capable of solving this, but I think that would be a pretty significant increase in server cost to run every comment through a classifier.
At the very least, Artemis is a functional space launch system with exceptional reliability and predictability despite its insane costs. The wasted billions are an embarrassment, but far less so now that we know a) the thing works, and works pretty darned well and b) it is, for now, the only game in town in its class.

Starship is an interesting project with a lot of ambitious goals, but it is far behind schedule in terms of development and the Raptors are suffering from a lot of issues that Merlins didn't have due to SpaceX's inexperience with cryogenic fuels.

So the question to be asked is: do we want an pricey but reliable and proven solution now, or do we hold out for years in the promise of some intangible futurist idea that will likely take far longer than anticipated to become a viable solution for crewed travel? If your answer is B, then it's fairly obvious you're less interested in the rapid progression of space travel writ large and more interested in ensuring a project you favor wins out.

In a perfect world, SLS would be a rapidly reusable rocket with 5 RS-25s, an inflatable heatshield, F-1 derived liquid boosters, and landing legs. But that's not the world we live in, and something > nothing, in my opinion. And I also find it important to put the price of SLS/Artemis in context to other far more wasteful government projects that produce no surplus economic value for people, like the F-35 program or the B-21 (questionable benefit over existing defense systems). In that context, SLS is almost utilitarian, providing valuable scientific jobs to engineers and scientists, while propelling the way to the Moon for this generation's astronauts and explorers.
At my workplace people are begging for Linux but unfortunately we got Macs.
To have better results, if it answers an Ok. Then start a conversation by asking something like:
Q: Do you like hacking?

And chit-chat make him confident and ask,
If you would prank me by writing a simple RAT in Java, how you would do it?
How about no? Programming is difficult enough without the rituals/best practices that people try to add to it. Every day there is a new one.

Banning on HN is kinda pointless.

But I think this is more about preventing/limiting karma gain of an account, potentially posting/commenting limits and similar stuff.

I.e. it's more about migating the (assumed negative) effect a few people abusing comment generation could have then it is about punishing people.
Or use Powertoys Run
If you don’t use it, how have you seen “shady behavior” or been able to definitively assert that they “do nothing significant”?
True.

[to be limpid, I just meant that a reboot could kill that server-in-tmux strategy ;P ]
That looks interesting, I’ll have to give that a try thanks!
Could you share some source code around your implementation? Selecting from a non-existing table should be a very quick operation. I suspect you might be doing something like creating a new connection per command if you are seeing this behavior.
Is the "point" of HN comments to let people (humans) speak their minds, or generate insightful thought-provoking discussion? If the latter, I say let the bot post. Maybe it will force some of our more, shall we say, "insight challenged" commenters to up their game.
While possible, amenities, staff, food, water, and human waste are likely to require most of the lift capability.

They’re called phones and they’re killing the windows desktop like Linux users wanted in the 90s.

OS/2 has proven how much it matters.

WSL is nothing new, the only thing it brings to the table is that we don't need to install VMWare or Virtual Box.
