I helped deploy the previous version of that, the Java station, to everyone in MPK. They did not take away the existing computers and mostly went unused.

There's also the higher than normal risk of needing medical treatment in a country with either higher medical costs or lower healthcare quality.

In my country of birth, covid treatment is free* in state owned hospitals for citizens and non citizens. But it's not the case in other countries.

*Taxpayer funded
Well, some of the smartest I've known to take notes e.g. Dijkstra and Knuth.
Yes but Westworld started out with a brilliant first season and went downhill from there until the 4th season was nearly unwatchable. The Sopranos was good right up until the end, which is not how I would have ended it. HBO might as well sell Westworld to a less premium outlet.
Yeah it definitely bothers me that these polls are going to be biased to his followers. Would love for big decisions to be shown by twitter (rather than his account) to every user. That would be more democratic than what he’s doing.
You can thank the finance people for that.
If you want to get investors for anything these days they ask for your plans on getting recurring revenue. So no longer one off purchases for anything. Even more traditional companies move to this stupid model for that reason. Like car makers putting features you already paid for behind a subscription to activate them...
All you’ve done is confirm that Musk called the cave diver a pedo, to which the only proper reply os “yeah that was fucked up”
I have been following that around the time that it happened and one thing that struck me is that Greenwald had been losing the plot, his subsequent writings have - so far - confirmed that for me so I'm not quite sure I buy all of his reasonings but I wasn't aware of the exact interplay between him and the financiers.
Because there’s two genders.
My personal list of dead but influential languages would include NewtonScript [1]:

With the cancellation of the Newton project by Apple in 1998,[8] all
further mainstream developments on NewtonScript were stopped. However,
the features used in NewtonScript would continue to inspire other
programming models and languages.

The prototype-based object model of Self and NewtonScript was used in
JavaScript, the most popular and visible language to use the concept so
far.

NewtonScript is also one of the conceptual ancestors (together with
Smalltalk, Self, Act1, Lisp and Lua) of a general-purpose programming
language called Io[9] which implements the same differential
inheritance model, which was used in NewtonScript to conserve memory.

Who is hedging energy cost in this scenario? As I understand if, the risk isn’t actually moving from the homeowner, it’s just an accounting trick where they pay upfront but get a tax rebate.

My point being, if homeowners aren’t hedging energy costs now, why would they begin to?
Something like this might actually be useful for the all-too-common productive procrastination breaks. Stuck on a hard problem? Better clean my desk. Waiting for a build? Better clean my files. Lacking momentum? Better check LinkedIn (it’s professional so it’s okay). I wonder which type of “break” kills more productivity, “fun” distraction or “productive” distraction. Anyone else?
The same way you deal with failure in software. See it as a possible path and plan accordingly.

Some can risk everything, I can't. But there are somethings that I can.

What happens if you get this wrong? You have to call in a builder to help and have a little egg on your face. So what you get to learn how to fix it. You get to see how the builder would do it.

An attempt is going to get you personal growth no matter what. If it's something you don't want to do then why do it at all? But it sounds like you would have fun with this.
Sounds like a great way to remove significant sources of food for the poor.
> Generally, it’s a bad idea to be using any construction product unless it’s been around at least a few generations without major issues.

In your opinion, does that apply to stuff like 3d printed concrete houses where the material is very old but the application technology is extremely new?
Ada95 was good because it forced people to think about software and type safety.
That’s cheap. I remember spending $60+ on a single season. Especially network stuff that might span 10-12 discs.
Yep. You can get all the insurance you want when you don't need it. But when you get sick and do need it, then you'll likely lose it.

And that's still better than it used to be. As long as you're not too sick to work, you might still be able to get something now. Pre-existing conditions used to just be a death sentence.
Can someone explain the rationale behind switching to a monorepo? I just don't get it.

Does it mean also having a single unified production environment build?

I have been managing a stack composed of 500+ repositories, communicating through webservices, files and ABIs for many years now, and never quite hit much of the issues cited as reasons to switch to monorepos.

Having multiple small independent environments for each deployed service is a feature to me. It reduces the surface of bugs and regressions introduced by new dependencies.

Not having to update dependencies globally has been a feature as well. It allows to prioritize which environments to migrate first. I found that big bang dependency updates burden is the #1 reason of _not_ updating a dependency, while allowing a per-service dependency migration ensures we can be fast to update the most important and supported services.

Switching between repositories has never really been an issue to me. I found that if the structuring of projects in repositories make sense, rarely do you have to work across more than a few of them at the same time.

Each repository is its own package, with its own dependencies. Features that cross repository boundaries are much less frequent than isolated ones, and updating dependencies to other projects is part of each project's PR anyway.

I never tried monorepo because I never quite felt the need to. To me it seemed to be a step backward to end up with a megafat repository, where individual service history would be lost in the overall monorepo history. The deployment seems like a nightmare too, having to update the whole stack at once because you then have no idea which individual service changed between releases.

Not to mention I really don't want people to spend time migrating project X - that does its work perfectly without issue since 5 years - to the latest version of LibFooBar just because project Y wants it.

What am I missing?
> Yeah it definitely bothers me that these polls are going to be biased to his followers.

I mean, they are propaganda move, not a serious decision-making tool, so it really doesn’t matter.
He's saying such a rule from the EU could allow spam from the companies themselves, not that these posts from advocate users would be an instance of spam.
I think you meant to respond to the parent of my comment. I didn’t suggest either group I noted was right (or wrong).
Twitter is home to many of these conmen. Fitness geeks posing as natural bodybuilders, promoting heavy meat diets etc., pushing their own brand of supplements, but they owe their form mostly to steroid abuse.

Taking fitness or nutritional advice from a bodybuilder is like taking financial advice from SBF.
I’ve used yuzu a bit before but not Ryujinx. Does anyone know what the main differences between them are? Looks like both still require owning a hacked switch which is quite a barrier to entry.
Google contains multitudes. Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS are examples of large Google projects that do not use Perforce and are routinely built locally.
It might be a factor, but it probably has more to do with decades of exporting western values via media, Internet, etc.
It’s hubris to question the authority? I thought it was a fundamental American pastime.
No no no, all of that is just he's eccentric, not understood by the common person.
I always dream about this setup. But an unreliable network prevents it. mosh and VSCode Remote partially solved the problem of latency. There's is still a problem of unavailable network - when you are in flight.

nix solved my problem by and large for well modularized projects. Because, nix can provide nearly identical dev environment in practice.
There's probably an argument to be made that at least those tasks might help push you out of a rut if you've spent hours banging your head against a wall. God knows cleaning my desk is probably a better use of my time right now than commenting yet again on HN.
No one should have ownership of a word. That is an individual choice that should move fluidly with the populace.

With this scheme, there are many ways to enable a stable endpoint that can be shared. But at the base, the addition of a hashed keypair address is introduced which is connected to a recordset controlled by a signed message.

With that, there are a lot of possibilities. Just sharing one of them. While I could outline every little detail, that would be better served in a different format and in the future.

There are going to be a lot of mental shifts required in many different ways. Maybe it will take a generation before those shifts are appropriately executed, I don’t know.
You can do this in QMK too if you have a custom mechanical keyboard. It'll work regardless of machine or os then.
You're right, now might be a smart time to enter the customer support SaaS space.
Ask HN: Finding a tool for categorized text logs
I am looking for a solution to export/ingest text log from various software scripts and applications. It's a small company, with limited amounts of logs (~1Gb/day)
All I see is overly corporate solution with a million products and complex UIs.

I am looking for a simple agent/endpoint to ingest logs from EC2 instances and Jenkins hosts and provide a UI to see/query said logs. If the tool also had a simple APM component, it'd be great, but not a deal breaker.

Any tool you recommend?
well, this has upsides and downsides.

proof of doing is in large part responsible for how grueling and grinding tech interviews are. you don't hire nurses by asking them to demonstrate operating on a cat. and to some degree the grueling and grinding is there because the degree doesn't indicate anything at all, and desirable companies ending up having to process a lot of underqualified applicants.
> (he still gets plenty of flak but imo that is undeserved)

Yeah I don't think it's possible to escape the criticism even without taking a position. That said, of the two options, I agree that not wading in may have less of a chilling effect and thus encourages more interaction.

It gets more complicated behind the scenes. If you're making a lot of content moderation decisions without disclosing them, you may be introducing bias without realizing it. Eventually people are going to be hip to that. Platforms are rife with this right now: selective invisibility, visibility filtering, ranking, visible to self, reducing, deboosting, and "disguising a gag" are all words platforms use internally or externally to justify non-disclosure of content moderation decisions. Without public awareness of the existence of these secretive moderation decisions, administrators may feel they have to use them in order to compete with other forums.

I think transparent moderation is the sustainable way forwards for social media, and I recently made my case for that here:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/shadowbans-are-bad-for-discours...
You'll see that I noted that in my original comment
That's the theory. Here's the sad, sad, extremely sad reality:

bZ4X sales in US in 2022:

05: 199
06: 33
07, 08, 09: zero (they recalled every car and stopped production and sales)
10: 351 (resumed production)

Those numbers are not in thousands. That's 351 cars in November.

We are talking about the best match ever.

For a game to qualify as the "best ever", there MUST be trading blows. And I don't mean like fistfights. I mean like end to end almost-goal action. And comebacks.

Which is exactly what happened in extra time. Twice. And plenty of chances gone amiss

NO one remembers a game that ended 1-0 with nothing else happening. Its not memorable

Even if its a final.
A million users is insignificant compared to the number of advertisers who have abandoned them, and it's probably causing cash flow problems which is one reason why he was so desperate to chase people away and/or fire them, and why Twitter has been liquidating equipment (that and the huge debt he's generated on Twitter's books.)

Remember how Twitter has stopped paying rent on a bunch of its offices? And Musk just cashed $3.5B in Tesla stock? They probably couldn't pay the rent without people going unpaid.

Not paying your rent is one thing, but not paying employees results in immediate, we-gonna-fuck-you-in-the-ass attention from governments around the world. My state treats non-payment of wages as a criminal offense by the officers of the company.
> both still require owning a hacked switch which is quite a barrier to entry

This has not been necessarily the case for years.
I actually didn't find the finale a letdown to be honest, though I can understand why some people did

I have no idea why people take Ambien when low-dose (<0.5mg) melatonin exists over-the-counter in abundance in the US.
That requires extra equipment or aftermarket upgrades. EV’s come out of the factory with everything already setup.

It might not seem like much, but not everyone is local.
Snap is one of the few reasons that made me ditch Ubuntu forever.

I don't know a ton about Canonical's business model, but was the idea to get everyone hooked on snap and then force a subscription out of it?

Snap is the antithesis of apt or dnf in regards to what I want out of a package manager.
I've been using Freedom for this for some time. I would recommend using these tools.

When you site down and want to get something done you just block out a few hours where you can't access the sites that distract you. It is really good for focus. I thought I could do this with will power alone but these sorts of tools really do help.
I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no Firefox version. However, given that the author most likely uses his extension, I can see what might have happened.
Some of the purposes I remember were:

- When needing a passport while the other passport was in visa processing

- When needing to travel to a country A that denies entry based on having a passport stamp from country B. Like Azerbaijan/Armenia and Israel/Some Arab countries.
What are the conditions under which do you still need a hacked switch?
- "but this isn't the category of error you make at that level of risk."
People do make all types of errors at all levels of risk. I often see comments in the vein of "He spent 44 billion dollars, I'm sure he has a plan", as support for theories that give Elon more credit, in terms of intelligence or capability. There are countless examples of humans through history throwing away fortunes or destroying kingdoms over petty spats, or out of ego, or stupidity, or for no discernable reason at all. I don't think giving powerful people the benefit of the doubt in this way is a good idea. It lends support to the idea that they're more rational in general (because all their choices likely have higher risk, they have more to lose after all), and from there it would be easy to argue that they deserve their power and should have more.
Step down means not be CEO. I'm sure he'd love to get his money back by selling, but that is not an option.

Thanks for the kind words. No I'm not dead. I'm just not on the radio any more. I've been podcasting for longer than most (started in 2004) and plan to continue as long as I am able.
That's the case for pretty much all theories attempting to model something as famously nebulous and poorly-defined as human society. In light of that limitation, labor theory provides one of the less-wildly-inaccurate models; the issues with it are more around people claiming to champion it while simultaneously imagining themselves as part of some privileged intelligentsia, the very existence of which is indistinguishable from the very thing labor theory directly challenges/criticizes.
I feel like it adds another layer of insult if they’re not particularly good at it
"Sounding smart doesn't mean you are smart"

It has taken a long, painful time to get here but I think the public is starting to wake up. More people are starting to smell the "tech" BS.

Of course, some HN voters and commenters will not like that. But it's happening, like it or not.

Selling advertising services and fake money. These are the only "business models" they can come up with. "Tech" BS worked in times of quantitative easing and dirt cheap debt. But those times are over.
Yeah. No thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutty_Putty_Cave

I used to run Firefox on my Debian server with X tunneling in high school sometimes. It wasn't that bad then and surely it's even better with today's internet.
So you want people to pay upfront, on a variable cost, variable use consumable @ 4-6% interest rate.

That seems like a bad idea soo many fronts. Hell I do not even like the annualized utility plans the companies offer that average out utility costs over the year

No, I want to pay exactly what I use, as I use it. No more, no less
It’s called ”frisbee golf” in Finland
Same here. We have a similar setup as described in this article. But they also issued me a 16-core workstation with 64 GB of RAM! Like just let me use my hardware goddammit.
I don’t understand what point you’re making because (1) no one has unregulated capitalism (2) globalization didn’t meaningfully exist in the pre-Reagan era, and (3) how would a “pre-Reagan globalization” not have exported jobs? “Exporting jobs” is pretty much the definition of globalization as it pertains to wealthy countries.

EDIT: Also (4) I’m pretty sure almost every “very regulated” economy in the world has more inequality as a consequence of globalization. It’s really hard to imagine a practical globalization that doesn’t create concentrated wealth and poverty.
I've tried to setup this up at a small tech company pre-kubernetes and there were a lot of challenges...

* low utilization, so you need to auto-shutdown or auto-scale down systems but sometimes jobs did need to run overnight or on the weekend so you needed an interface/user training to avoid upsetting users/killing their jobs.

* local hardware is cheap and powerful - employees are already issued really powerful laptops and some teams just went out and bought their own really, really powerful workstations. It is hard for the 'cloud' to compete with this.

* bin-packing workloads was hard, Kubernetes probably solves this better.

* fast-customization was hard, we had docker but it was hard to train users to update/fork the dockerfiles to keep
the environment reproducible. A lot of users were more scientists than engineers and so weren't great at using version control.

* persistence / shared-storage IOPs are expensive - shared storage is a nice to have and a number of teams made a lot of use of it, it also made it easy to migrate users around but it's expensive. Local disks were also very painful/slow/buggy to deattach/reattach (maybe this is better now).

* latency - we needed instances close to our team and at the time the metro clusters near us were like second class with low capacity and limited features.

* specialty hardware like GPUs

* multiple paradigms, we also needed long running dev/staging environments, spark clusters, or other software, some managed or licensed to run in specific way, and it was hard to get these all managed the same way, clustered on the same nodes without introducing other issues - but w/out this costs would spiral. Again now that kubernetes is like the defacto cluster manager this might be easier now.
Setting aside gaming the energy audit, I just don't see how it's possible to price energy 30 years out. The price of any one energy source fluctuates, the makeup of energy used can change (replacing a gas furnace with an electric one), and the overall amount can change (more people = more energy used).

Another issue is that you'd be putting 2022 dollars in escrow to be paying energy bills in 2052. So if the escrow doesn't grow at at least the rate of inflation, home owners are losing real purchasing power.

Maybe a simpler and more tractable solution would to just require projected energy costs to be listed in any home ads.
Can people not see the big flashing warning lights of his attitude right there in his faux self deprecating comment? When one talks about killing 'stupid things', that's actually a colleague's initiative, or possibly some project in flight, with a team of people working on it. People putting in blood sweat and tears. Not everyone in the organisation gets to choose what they are working on. For us adults in the room, who have worked our entire careers treating our colleagues with respect, this is not how you effect change in an organisation. Sure, privately one may think this or that is stupid, but you don't go around using that language. It just offsides people. To bring change you need to bring people with you.

I mean the guy came up in the gaming industry, which by many reports is somewhere on the spectrum between techbro dominated monoculture (not unlike this forum), through to just abusive of its employees, so his bar is very low. And yes I know he was brilliant, but there's no special rules for him because he made Quake run fast.

At the level he was brought on, something more than technical skills were required. He failed.
ehh yea, maybe he just sees this as an opportunity to do the same thing. Hire people at some point to fix all this.. seems like a tall order
Spotify's killer feature at this point is probably that they have an ad-supported tier while none of the other services (that I'm aware of) do... unless you count youtube?

I think lyrics was a bit of legal hurdle so Spotify had to get rid of it. I imagine they brought it back recently as they worked out a legal way to provide them again.
Nowadays there are too many cheaper entertainments via internet, so touring isn't attracting much for not richer people
I think it is to avoid simple tools looking for banned domain names or phrases.

> Your Switch keys and either your dumped firmware or recent game cartridge untrimmed XCI

You don't need a hacked switch if you can find the homebrew apps / games / firmware on the internet and if you can find a donor set of keys. But that enters questionable territory
