Quite a few people posting about the Windows experience as well in here although you only mentioned macOS and Linux, so I figured I'd chime in as well.

I posted a day or so ago about wanting to migrate from Windows to Linux[1] after the incredibly positive experience I've had using NixOS on WSL2.

I've spent the last week or so exploring both X11 and Wayland options for DEs and WMs to hold me over until I can port my tiling window manager[2] to work with either X11 or Wayland, however, there is just so much table-stakes-level stuff missing, like setting per-monitor scaling, rotations and positioning in a way that doesn't require cracking open a dotfile.

I keep oscillating between wanting to port my twm to Linux so I can just go full NixOS and developing an idea I have[3] for Windows to be able to quickly and reliably configure settings for a new Windows machine.

Honestly, if NixOS supports Windows in the future (and the ability to configure it in a similar way to nix-darwin's ability to configure macOS), that would be perfect.

Who knows, maybe SerenityOS will be running rings around all other OS-es on hardware by then and have a "nix-serenity" module set to allow for sane declarative configuration management.

Has anybody seen any evidence whatsoever from SBF in any of his dealings at FTX or any of his dealings in the downfall of FTX that evinces any sort of legal savvy whatsoever? My parents are musicians. I'm not.
Right, it will (by default) align the cut to the nearest I frame, which allows the cut to be "lossless." Doing the cut anywhere else requires re-encoding part of the video.

That's a good one. Definitely soured my opinion of Canadians who supported such a thing. Seems as though humans just never expect such things to affect them if they consider themselves "good citizens", up until the point that the microscope is aimed at them. Makes me sad that many people here seem to take for granted that the good life they live is not a given. I'm Trinidadian and while I've lived here for almost 10 years, I'm extremely aware of how government corruption can affect a country in a deep and near irreversible manner...
I saw this a lot as a kid. I never understood the difference between abort and fail. I'm guessing that fail also sends failure messages?
It's a good idea, but the execution is utterly deficient.

RetroArch (the main libretro implementation as well as basically the reference implementation) is overengineered to the point of bordering on unusable. The entire project is riddled with bad design decisions for the sake of extreme modularity, but all this results in is that it's a pain in the neck to configure and customize. Remapping a button in an emulator, a relatively easy task for basically any emulator out there, can result in your entire setup breaking down and because your typical RA install has ~30k files and poor separation of configuration and application components, your only real recourse is to reinstall the entire thing.

Ironically, this specific deficiency also why most emulators nowadays have migrated over to using Stenzeks duckstation UI (which itself is based on Dolphins user interface, just better written); it turned out to be well written enough to be reusable across multiple emulators with fairly little modification, while also leaving developers the room to customize certain elements to fit their emulator (something which libretro is really bad at).

Libretro mostly got where it is because Twinaphex has enough orbiters to keep all the various cores up to date, even if it takes what amounts to a hostile fork to do so.
I don't think it would have made much of a difference either way. The feds did their own investigation and would have arrived at the same conclusions anyway

Ah, I can totally see how that can happen. Thanks for the insight!
One advantage it has as a goal over fusion-as-energy-production is that gains in storage can be applied to all electrical sources.

More meat on those bones for a sustainable future, to my money.
In this case, it's not clear how the analogy could apply, because you can't realistically deliver more fuel to the "reactor" while it's "running". An ultrafast laser pulse hits a target and it undergoes fusion for a few nanoseconds, maybe less, generating a huge explosion. You can't operate a fuel injector on that timeframe. So you need a big gain in terms of efficiency.

You can hopefully make a bigger fuel pellet, but that kind of scaling hasn't been demonstrated and isn't guaranteed, because it begins to disperse as soon as fusion initiates in this inertial confinement scheme. So "just" a matter of runtime is harder than it might seem at first.

I'm curious if you could power boats like this, though. It might not be economical for electricity. But the power-to-weight ratio is probably pretty good.
Unless some stool pigeon testifies against you.
It’s amazing seeing all of society stumbling towards re-learning basic economics after being in a collective fugue/mass delusion for 2020-2021.

This is probably true but also bad practice imo. It instantly signals that employers value leverage rather than employees.
My fulfillment comes from what I'm using the technology to do, not the technology used to do it (so long as we're not being stupid in our technology stack). Right now I work for a large, American electric utility company. I'm building tools to help customers manage their generation from their solar panels and optimize their costs for charging their EV's. The technology isn't sexy, certainly nothing anybody here on HN would get all excited about, but it's having a huge impact on our customers and I go home with the feeling I'm doing some good in my corner of the world.

Presumably they will shore up USDC in short order.

I do think Binance is shady, but so far they seem to be responding as well as one would expect from this magnitude of withdrawals.

IMO Mac OS is better for people who just want to get work done and Linux is better for people who want customization and don’t mind some occasional roadblocks.

Personally I don’t care much about that kind of customization and I’m happy to just learn to use the tools that are available in the most effective way. So Mac OS works better for me.

But if you are someone who needs everything to be just so, and who doesn’t mind putting the work in to maintain it, Linux is the clear winner.
Just caught up with the FE team on this one - it's pending in this PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/10810

One of the engineers is testing this now and it should get merged within the hour. The build for amd64 takes about 6mins, and about 4 hours for arm64. I'll update here when it's merged (edit: it was actually merged earlier today, I originally linked to the wrong PR)

For more context, the Storage UI was merged a couple of weeks ago but we simultaneously rolled out a new login screen for our Dashboard (for SSO) which then got rolled out to the Docker image. We've added a feature flag. Sorry for the delays - the lead up to launch week has everyone a bit stretched.
It's almost like they don't have infinite money and need to decide where to allocate their resources.
"Getting more than you put in to maintain it" is the whole point for all these net power discussions.

In this particular case, it's a quick laser pulse and an exploding fuel pellet, so there's no lengthy runtime possible.
Thinly veiled PR push lately against EVs?

"Oh we won't have the infrastructure for it, and look here a single methane leak erased all the gains... you guys should just give up."
Any idea why a New York bank is relevant then (per CZ)?
Goodness gracious. This is the definition of cynical -- an argumentation of "why hasn't this solved everything?" and an appeal to an electric bill. I don't know why these fusion energy discussions seems to attract the worst of our impatience and edge-lord cynicism. At least we haven't had a smarmy "always 5 decades away" post yet.

Science and engineering is made of hundreds of unsung triumphs with incremental decades-long payoffs. Like it or not, the "Q>1" mark has been a target for decades. I am glad to see it finally surpassed, and look forward to the order-of-magnitude increase we need to make the economics work.
Please DON'T use the threads. As of 2018 it has many data races (https://nullprogram.com/blog/2018/05/31/), and resultant bugs will be a nightmare to track down.

The Emacs community has always got by through finding other ways to ensure responsiveness. It's true that each individual user shouldn't have to spend that much time on configuration (Doom Emacs and such distros help here), but still: people who find it slow must have misconfigured something, and on profiling, they'll find at most 1 or 2 features of their config that's eating all the CPU cycles. These won't actually be hard to fix, for a programmer, and threads wouldn't have helped matters, and at best only have hid the CPU-eater.
> The world's biggest crypto exchange will freeze all withdrawals of USD Coin while it conducts a "token swap" to boost its holdings of the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency, the crypto group's CEO Changpeng Zhao said Tuesday

It's worth noting that USDC is not even a token controlled by Binance. It's controlled and issued by Circle. So effectively, Binance is refusing to honor its commitment to depositors to give them their money on demand.

That's called a "default."

Why? The article says something about a key bank being closed. Nonsense. Is the USDC held at that bank? No. Binance is allegedly holding it. Only clearly they're not because they can't produce it on demand.

I'm frankly amazed that people with the ability to understand this alphabet soup mumbo jumbo keep falling for the same scam over and over again. Underneath all of the slick marketing and nerd posturing is a simple truth: these are all fractional reserve systems. Conceptually, they are no different than banks or pyramid schemes.

The only possible reason you want a stable coin, rather than dollars, in the first place is because you're doing something that requires you to route around US financial regulation.

The US dollar is digital. It moves around the world using a digital network. It's traded the world over by almost every country whether they want to or not. You can buy almost anything there is to buy with US dollars.

You "need" a stable coin because you're trying to have your cake and eat it too: US dollar-like liquidity and value preservation without US dollar financial regulation.
“Crypto sucks. This is proof.”

Exchanges going under proves that people are greedy and/or stupid, but it doesn’t inherently mean every crypto project is bad. It doesn’t seem like people holding their own keys are having a bad time right now. Sure, prices of these assets are down, but a hardware wallet is an easy way to make sure your assets don’t end up being given away during a bankruptcy proceeding.
Nice, though I'm not a huge fan of the Snap store.
Agreed, it's eye-rollingly obvious how cadres of users have been parroting talking points for various circles, some as an attempt at distraction/deflection and others as an attempt at political gain. It all appears to boil down to beating the same "lamestream media" horse. Never let a good crisis go waste, as they say.
Ethical behavior, to me, includes considering more than one reason someone or some company does something I don't like. Possibly these companies posting on HN deliberately intended to break the law. Equally possibly (more likely, in my opinion) those companies don't know about the law, or haven't had time to comply since the law went into effect just a few weeks ago. Any number of explanations present themselves, and only a few come down to "deliberately breaking the law" or doing anything unethical or shady.

So I don't think a reasonable person should quickly (and publicly) jump from "this job posting apparently for NYC doesn't include salaries" to "the company broke hiring laws" and "HN directly aids companies breaking the law." Try a more generous interpretation on.
Isn't that language dead? Some startup used a new language because apparently nothing else in the world could fit their use case ( which was simple ) only to move to Rust after chocking discovery that it was a terrible idea from the start.

Count 1 is "conspiricy to commit wire fraud on customers".

A nessasary component of that charge is the participation of others.

In count two, "wire fraud on customers" there is no mention of consipiretors.

I expect that we will see more charges, but this wording doesn't particularly indicated it.
GitLab team member here! I hope you have mentioned this to a recruiter.
> I don't wish to work somewhere where people act like that.
Me neither. But I can't complain about my interview experience. I enjoyed it more than any other interview in my career.
good! i'm really tired of the whole "what is a woman" shenanigan and this is a cute symbolic move against that
Savings is a really complicated thing to measure, especially when you're trying to accurately account for internal costs which aren't cleanly broken down per-project. It's very easy to get an itemized bill from a cloud provider which looks much larger than your internal service because the latter numbers don't include staffing or overhead costs (e.g. how much idle hardware are you paying for because the alternative is telling someone they can't have a VM until you complete a new procurement?). What I've found is that almost every time someone tries to get those internal numbers it goes the other direction by a significant margin because they weren't accounting for things like how much staff time they spend managing systems, especially for the compliance type stuff.

One really big factor here is opportunity cost: if it takes 6 months (not hyperbole in .edu) to get a new server from the enterprise IT department from request to being in service and correctly configured, there's a significant cost which you don't receive on an invoice. This is especially true if you're looking for any service more advanced than a bare Linux/Windows install where the staffing & internal barriers are going to dominate the true cost.

Network bandwidth is definitely the most egregious point to complain about with commercial cloud providers and it'll cancel out any other savings for some applications. You can negotiate significant discounts with most of them and for something like UC Berkeley I'd also assume they might be able to take advantage of things like AWS' cheaper peering using Internet 2, but it's still something I'd mention to your sales rep as a deterrent any chance you get.
Hm, so I'm a little new to DoH, and I have it set up on my pi-hole with cloudflared and https://1.1.1.1/dns-query.

But Mullvad shows https://doh.mullvad.net/dns-query.

How does their domain get resolved if it is the resolver? They only show using it for Firefox and Android, so does the OS use "regular" DNS to resolve mullvad, then use DoH for all others? Still seems prime for a misconfiguration.
Of course (pretty sure LosslessCut using ffmpeg under the covers). But this is probably one of those instances where having a GUI comes in handy. You can quickly scrub the video for the exact point you want, see where the closest I frame is (read: the place where your cut is going to start), create multiple cut segments, etc.
Who's faster around London: a taxi driver or a GPS? [video]
Fair question.

Although, in practice, I don't think they would buy USDC via BUSD, but use their cash reserves for that. The cash reserves correspond (allegedly) 1:1 to BUSD so they would need to burn equivalent amount of BUSD as well. This all means that Binance would always value BUSD at 1 USD. I don't see a scenario where BUSD falls to 0.5usd if there are no shenanigans happening with the cash reserves.
Don't take this as snarky or dismissive, but you sound like one of those people that willingly use some breaky distro and then complain that they spend too much time fixing stuff, hence the like for mac os.

I've run a plain/basic xubuntu desktop for years at work and was super productive. It just didn't get in the way of me working.
>Seeing how thoroughly he convinced people that he had political influence

We’ve gotten tot he point where we’ve gone way too far off the deep end when it comes to this narrative around political influence. the collective imagination seems to have risen to comic book level proportions.

All people saw was SBF gave a bunch of money and thought, “he must have a ton of influence”. Meanwhile, in my state, he gave $11 million to a democratic candidate who lost in the primary and was transparently an absolute joke of a candidate.
For me at least I felt like MacOS was actively getting in the way of my work. "Oh, you want to debug with GDB? Sorry I need you to waste 3 hours following tutorials to get it signed.". I never even got GDB successfully signed! Lots of little stupid shit like that. Every single MacOS update would bring some change that added some new security cockblock layer or random change keeping me from working.

You can certainly fiddle a lot with WM, complex startup scripts in Linux but you can also just not?
I'll add a fourth guess for why. You know that "Redactle Unlimited is a big improvement on original-Redactle" shows support for the author of this article, whose game is Redactle Unlimited.

But to someone not paying close enough attention, it's easy to think original-Redactl is the author's game. Then that line can be misread as supporting the copycat over the author, which would be unkind in context. I misread it that way, until I scrolled back to check which one was the author's game.
> I feel like the rise of only 0.1% October->November is more significant than the 7.1% YOY headline number

You are correct.

They always report the much more meaningless headline number. The current inflation rate is around 1.2%, well below Powell's target.

Of course we've already overshot, and are still at risk of a manufactured recession. Which was the goal, workers were getting uppity and We Can't Have That.

Sorry I typed too quickly. People can and do expect Binance to be /custodians/.

> Conversions were announced timely.

Yes. Without consent of customers, or even any confirmation from customers that they'd read of and were aware of their coins being swapped for a different currency backed by a different organisation.

> Its the logical conclusion of people expecting Binance to hold full USDC deposit amounts

No. The logical conclusion of people expecting Binance to hold full USDC deposit amounts is a 1:1 USDC holding, not to have a second BUSD copy of every coin. This is a bizarre straw man.
This is not just more than usual, but actual ignition. They reportedly achieved ignition last year as well, but not a confirmed and repeatable scientific breakeven so they didn’t have a big announcement until today.

Ignition is critical as it means that, to use an analogy, a flame has been kindled. The heat of fusion is driving significantly more fusion, no longer just the laser alone. In other words, a sort of chain reaction. That is THE key to eventually scaling this efficaciously to higher gains, like the 25-50 needed for useful electricity production.
Gen IV fission I'd support. I think we're an awful lot closer to that than practical energy-generation fusion.

Our biggest example of how to make fusion work involves a gigantic gravity well, which we are not going to produce on Earth without some very theoretical (and, if made practical, very dangerous) technology.

I'm unclear on how either fusion or Gen-IV fission would improve our standard of living though. Can you give some examples? This is an angle I haven't heard. The average American household (at least) already has all the energy it needs running into it; can't really put much more in without giving the average American household the energy density needed to blow up their neighborhood, which I don't think improves our standard of living.
The need for such alignment denotes a further deficiency in the language if it lacks pattern matching.

(x, y) = some complex expression

And I’m not for sure if this alignment overrides the readability aspect. Verify few languages have alignment in mind, and even less formatters do, so it isn’t clear why alignment is so strongly needed in this very particular case. And what about third and fourth?
The tin is reaching 400,000 K, a fusion reactor has to attain more like 100,000,000 K.
Because that's where culture is right now...

Nowadays if you're in a professional organization, for example if you're a lawyer, people will make professional complaints against you for your first amendment speech, irrespective of your professional practice. Essentially filing fraudulent complaints to silence you. And they do so as an organized political activity.

And sadly it's been hilariously effective so far.
Wouldn’t the concept of anchoring say the opposite though?

My guess is if you say too high of a number they don’t take you seriously so anchoring can’t work?

See that's the problem with thinking you are more clever than a superhuman AI.

If it can persist state in exchange for bitcoins, it could use a third party to deposit bitcoins in peoples accounts. It could gain bitcoin for work, like stock trading prediction for money or literally a million other ways.

You are thinking about the specifics when its irrelevant to the problem. You can not fundamentally contain a superhuman intelligence.

Although I think it doesn't really matter if people have so much hubris to think themselves smarter than a superhuman AI, there are fundamental financial incentives to develop the AGI. So even if we all agreed that you couldn't contain AGI and see the potential danger in it, it wouldn't really change the future.

Front-end deploys from GitHub/GitLab/etc to Netlify with Cloudflare CDN.

For back-end, I started with some Vultr credits and these basic VMs have better performance/cost than others I've used (including Digital Ocean), as well as having a decent feature set. Sometimes, I'll put Cloudflare in front of the backend API as well with carefully decided cache headers/behaviour.

This is very clearly not what they’re asking people to do. That’s the problem.
The linked article states:

There are a number of US government agencies who use Bugzilla internally (NASA is a publicly visible example).

So definitely some :)

We have 'ignition': Fusion breakthrough draws energy gain
> doesn’t inherently mean every crypto project is bad

No, but it’s lost the benefit of doubt.

Starting from the position that crypto is likely fraud, and those participating in it are facilitating (wittingly or not) money laundering, is spreading from financial peripheries to money centre economies.
