> have you actually timed this?

I'm not who you're asking, but I have timed this at multiple workplaces. The most egregious example took 32 minutes end-to-end (for many reasons: Jira was behind a VPN, which was extremely slow to login and even slower to actually use, the SSO system only allowed a session to persist for an hour, the server actually running Jira was underspec'd, the ticket template was incredibly verbose, etc, etc, etc). I am excluding the time it took to type the ticket in the first place (I wrote up the text beforehand and copy/pasted it into the fields) and including the time it takes to sign in to SSO, log into the VPN, browse to the ticketing system, etc. Essentially, I assume that it's the start of a work day and the only thing I've done is boot up my machine. Excluding the 32-minute workplace, I've got an average of ~9.5 minutes (only one was < 60 seconds).

While many workplaces have good systems, don't assume that every workplace does. There are many out there who accept/mandate potato-quality tools.
> Given the number of worktrees I have of some huge repos (nixpkgs, linux, etc) it would likely mark a significant reduction in CPU/disk usage given what Syncthing is having to do now to monitor/rescan as much as I'm asking it to (given it has to dumb-sync .git, syncs gitignored content, etc, etc).

Are you really hitting that much of a resource utilization issue with syncthing though? I use it on lots of small files and git repos and since it uses inotify there's not really much of a problem. I guess the worst case is switching to very different branches frequently, or committing very large (binary?) files where it may need to transfer them twice, but this hasn't been a problem in my own experience.

I'm not sure you could really do a whole lot better than syncthing by being clever, and it strikes me as a lot of effort to optimize for a specific workflow.

Edit: actually, I wonder if you could just exclude the working copies with a clever exclude list in syncthing, such that you'd ONLY grab .git so you wouldn't even need the double transfer/storage. You risk losing uncommitted work I suppose.
The Xeon Phi coprocessor pci-e cards with similar CPU can be had on ebay for like $60 these days. Sadly I haven't seen any good writeups on setting up an environment to run such cards in a homebuilt system. I think it would be neat to build a little mini-supercomputer with 8 of them stacked in one of those mining motherboards with 8 pci-e slots. But I'd have no idea where to start with the toolchain needed to compile an run code across them.
Witch trials were supposed to be a modern scientific and legal process. They didn’t happen in a systematic matter in the medieval period. So they are really an artifact of a narrow time period, bounded on one side by less proscriptive and thorough government and by Enlightenment philosophy about metaphysics and prosecution on the other.

> Rust: "no, you're mistaken, nothing in Rust is difficult if you're smart or hard-working enough"

I feel the need to mention that that attitude isn't welcome in any of the communities I participate in and I make sure to call it out when it does rear its ugly head. Personally I bend myself backwards to try and meet newcomer developers where they are when it comes to the way the compiler uses diagnostics.

The closest I can think of to this attitude being prevalent is "what are you trying to accomplish (because the way you're trying to do it is going to be harder than you're ready for yet)?", which doesn't mean "you're stupid/not hardworking" but rather "there's collective wisdom about how to work in the confines of the borrow checker, and going against the grain while also learning the language will put you off the language".
I concur, their yt channel of 100s video series is succinct.
Open-source libraries were much less common when Java first arrived, but third-party C / Fortran libraries were very common in many domains much before Java arrived.

Nulls, arrays degenerating into pointers (losing size information), and accidentally crossing enum types across libraries were all huge sources of bugs. Java doesn't have much of an excuse for its treatment of nullability, other than they were trying to court C/C++ developers.
Our assessment of the situation is probably not too far apart. When I wrote: "But for a start, ..." I wanted to hint that there are a lot of other aspects that need improvement, too.

With regard to the "Planning Speedup Law" I am extremly sceptical too. I fear that in most cases this will result in the quality of planning suffering without an overall improvement in the situation. As soon as the stakeholders have adjusted to shorter planning processes, they will very likely submit projects at shorter notice and there will be complaints about too long process times again. At the same time, there will often not be enough time to examine the problematic points of the projects in sufficient detail and to look for better solutions.
Neat! Thank you very much for the details
The problem is that a stream cipher is going to have some per-object uniqueness (a salt, IV, etc.), so by design even if you feed it related input blocks you will get different output blocks. This is, of course, antithetical to deduplication: so you need to check/store the hash of the input before it goes through the cipher.

The presentation about ZFS' native encryption[1] covers many of these sorts of trade-offs necessary to do full-disk encryption at scale.

I bought a Tesla K80 for ~$200 off eBay, and now it's going for less than $150, and you can essentially get the same but just 1 GPU for $100. It has 12 GB of VRAM, and works great for "medium-duty" machine learning and AIs like Stable Diffusion.

It does run hot (150W per GPU), and I've had to make a [custom solution to cool it](https://github.com/askiiart/k80-linux-cooling), but it works great considering the price.

By the way, you can essentially never have an application use the 2 GPUs in parallel in any useful way; I'd suggest just getting a K20X instead.

> No idea why this is being downvoted

my first reaction was that people might be unaware of the CloudAct, or the FVYE arrangement (AABill) that forces Austrialians working in any Tech company to stay silent if their government forces them to hide a backdoor in code (likely on behalf of yank big brother).

but then anyone who today defends Snowden is called a "tankie" and friend of the Russian invasion of UA.

The truth is probably that Snowden today is ignored in the infosec community because we no longer remember that he embarrassed the worlds biggest industrial complex by sharing audi footage of obese American drone pilots laughing at brown civilians getting murdered from the safety of their air conditioned containers in Utah.

Any of this is brushed aside as "whataboutsim", because in times of a manufactured external threat any country and its people move closer together thanks to propaganda. And let's not forget Americans are the most propagandized population in the world.

Absolutely free Ukraine ... but let's not forget Europe is not at all sharing the ultra-capitalist values of ding-dong, mad-as-a-hatter America.

These are the same busybody nanny-staters who tell us that it is "illegal" for our kids to drink, drive cars, buy guns, or share pornographic pictures of themselves.

But seriously - if you think social media is harmful to children, I don't see why you would oppose making it illegal. It would be illegal, neglect, for example, to let your children wander into a busy street. Why should it be legal to let your children come to harm in other ways?

I'm not actually sure that social media is harmful, or how harmful, or what qualifies as social media or as "use" - but if we grant that it is harmful, it should be illegal. Doing otherwise just adds another advantage to children with good parents. Making it illegal will, hopefully, reduce the amount of harm done to those who do not have the maturity to decide things for themselves.
Is it actually backend if performance doesn't matter? I thought that was one of the key differences between backend and frontend.
>First of which is that the Monegasque consul to Canada is not Monegasque himself

That means that he is an honorary consul. That's how countries handle diplomatic duties in less-important places; a local person (who might be a current or former citizen of the country he represents, or a local citizen who has done business or studied in the other country) is paid a stipend to handle routine duties and can put "honorary consul of _____" on his résumé.
I don't see how that changes anything except to make the analogy politically fraught and easier to derail. The logic remains the same. Certainly, conservatives have no problem with the logic if you modify the analogy as you have suggested.

There's a bit of HN bias here. Just thinking of the lower income or non-white side of the country. So many people don't even have a checking account (4.5% households or 5.9million )[0] let alone a debit card. There's no way they have credit cards.

While it may be a low percentage number, 5-7million people is not "nobody". Question I would stipulate would be adults vs minors in that number.

> require the social media platform ’s users to use an account to access the social media platform

Man, people hate the twitter login wall just to view a tweet. Wait until it's legally required. That's one way to drive user signups.
i suspect its more likely that there are pools for c5a.large, xlarge, etc. and that they just aren't prioritizing as much buffer/liquidity in the large instance type pools. with chip shortages it may be worth it to them to prioritize more common workloads or those which they can get a consistent percentage of a host rented vs. all-or-nothing.
> Not to mention, what does it mean to use?

Presumably, to use a platform is to be a user of that platform, where a user is "a person who posts, uploads, transmits, shares, or otherwise publishes or receives content through a social media platform" [0].

Since YouTube is unambiguously a social media platform by Texas law (it primarily consists of user-generated content), the bill as written would prohibit receiving YouTube videos without logging in with an age-verified account. I strongly doubt the bill will go anywhere.

> We already require by law blocking access to kids under 13 in certain situations

The COPPA age-gating on 13 years old is trivially bypassed by most 13 year olds. It definitely won't keep teens off social media. But adding ID verification to enforce it is dystopian.
> I thought when my generation grew up and had kids, we'd try to stand up for digital rights as being important for the next generation,

Yeah, but the internet we had has kids is far different than what we have today.

IMO the biggest difference is that it used to cost things to be on the internet: time and/or money. Sites weren't just GUI/WYSIWYG. You had to spend time building them. You had to have initiative. People's goals were different (I feel) than today. Knowledge and transfer of that knowledge was a big deal.

Now it seems like everything is about making a buck. You can't just let kids go wild online. There is some seriously dark stuff and it doesn't take a lot to get there. Hell, you can't even open some apps on a default install of something like macOS without the risk of pornography showing up.
The issue is real, but the bill is a stunt. It's not actually going to pass or even get any real time in committee. It won't make it out of committee; if somehow it did, it would be voted down.

It gets people talking about the issue, and it puts the guy on the social calendar for talking with other people about the issue. That's how politics works: people talking with each other. The actual votes are only the final stage, and really the least important.
Isn’t that what a good sentence is supposed to look like? Start with the subject and move swiftly and smoothly to the object. Why the extraneous preposition? Why, oh why, the parenthesis? “For” is an association preposition: Gladwell’s whole point is that you don’t associate this sort of success with Hush Puppies. And it has the sort of effect you get by starting with a conjunction. This is not the only tipping point in the book: this is the one that happed for Hush Puppies. Right from the opening words, Gladwell is using suspense. “Brushed suede” and “lightweight crepe” are setting up the extent of the surprise that these shoes will be popular in Soho, not a very “lightweight crepe” kind of place.

Or maybe he is just describing what a Hush Puppy shoe is. It's possible the reader does not know what it is. I don't think there is any stylistic significance here. I am certain there are plenty of books that use a similar technique that have not sold nearly as well. Gadwell already had significant name recognition, such as writing for The New Yorker, when the book came out. He got a $1.5 million advance to write the book, and this was before 2000. Obviously he was huge name and the book was expected to sell well.

You are not trying to become more eloquent. You are trying to communicate more effectively.

Great feedback, thank you! I just rolled out an update to reposition and increase the size of the buttons to change the image order. The site is using FileStack for the image uploads and as far as I can tell there's no way to tell the order that the images are selected for upload (the callbacks are fired when each image is done uploading, with no details about the order the user chose). Will dig into it more though. Thank you again.

What’s funny is that Google itself started out as a “demo that interested nerds could play with” — searching your own name on the internet was so squarely a nerd move in the late 90s.

Google’s disruption here does not lie in the “ChatGPT or LLMs wil kill Search” realm. Rather, the fact that there isn’t a small-scale, dozen users product leveraging LLMs coming from Google, oh idk maybe something like Quora or Google Answers, or maybe the “Google Flights experience with Assistant”

have you honestly never seen a cashierless gas station? you suggest that convenience store is profit center, but as you say, those have to be staffed. what do the numbers look like if it's just gas with cashless pumps and no staff? then, raise the rates of the fuel because "shortages", and I can see it being profitable for less headache. i can think of at least 3 of these stations within 20 miles of me. potentially faster turnover as you don't have people parking at the pump while they spend 15 mins inside. there's a lot of interesting positive aspects to this, and it seems that more are willing to try it.

None of this is bait. The opposite - I am trying to ground the conversation in reality.

Cars break down all the time, even new ones. If you Google "new car broke down," you'll find plenty of examples. The US Consumer Rights Act even entitles consumers to full refunds if faulty cars are sold to them. So clearly, the problem is common enough for consumer protections to be put in place.

I don’t know if this an real question. Just by knowing you opened HN, I could guess a lot about you. You are much more likely to be interested in tech, a man, work as software developer than an average person.

I guess that's a win overall.
