> Are we that poisoned that we will stop at nothing to erase our past?

There's a huge difference between celebrating and remembering the past. Naming a telescope, or putting statues in public places, are celebrations.

Remembering (and erasing) the past is the domain of textbooks, documentaries, and museums. This isn't about that.
You use a build system. There are a number of open source ones, we use Bazel. In a nutshell, it keeps track of dependency graphs, so you can test only affected projects.

It can also cache execution of unchanged transitive steps, so you can skip builds/tests that were already run previously (e.g. you could skip most of a large 2nd CI run if all you did in a code review was edit one file.

You can also parallelize execution across cloud nodes.
Yep. Been dealing with diabetic foot ulcers for the past year+. No fun. Had one on the left that was pretty bad, and as that was healing all the offloading I was doing caused me to develop another one (less serious, luckily...) on the other foot.
Cloud agnostic? Not really. All the resources are cloud specific. You can't configure anything of any complexity without knowing details about your specific provider.

Low level? It's about as far from "low level" as you can get. I would barely call it a programming language.

That being said, I do think it is a worthwhile skill to learn.
I was very excited about this, and then I tried it. I gave a talk at a local meetup 8 years ago [0] that wasn't mic'd properly, but I uploaded it anyways. It was never the most pleasant thing to listen to, but the audio was understandable enough that for years it was a top search result for "javascript promises" on YouTube and accumulated 39K views.

However, when I ripped that video's audio and put it through the linked AI filter (Adobe Podcast's Enhance Speech), it went from being unpleasant-but-understandable to perfectly clear gibberish [1]. For example, about 15 seconds in I said:

> [...] at Second Street, the company whose office you are currently sitting in. Uh, you can find me on the web on GitHub, on Twitter, or my own site at Kerrick Long Dot Com.

In the "enhanced" version, it sounds like a person who isn't me said the following in soundproofed studio (with a head cold):

> [...] at Second Street, the cubbany od office you are currently city-aly. You gidhi me on the web on GitDub, on Twitter, or my own side at Kerri Flow Dot Cowf.

Can you confirm you've used HDR with Steam Link software and it worked correctly?

I saw a reddit post saying the HDR gets washed out by the Steam Link software and it should be disabled.

Moonlight genuinely works for me with HDR so I've never had reason to test the Steam Link software for myself.

Yes, this library is of uneven quality, and would benefit from a few hours of focused attention from a specialist.

Show HN: Infisical – open-source secrets manager
Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure. It can be used with any language/framework and is platform independent with a super easy setup.

We know secret managers exist but, in our experience, they’re too complicated, not comprehensive, not user-friendly, or a mix of all three — other nicer ones are closed-source and don’t have self-hosted options available. That’s why we’re on a mission to make secret management more accessible to every developer — not just security teams.

We’ve launched this repo under the MIT license so any developer can use the tool. The goal is to not charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for some future enterprise features as well as providing a hosted version and support.

In the coming weeks, we plan to add features like key rotation, access logs + more integrations. We’d love to hear your thoughts and any feature requests!

Give it a try (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical), and let us know what you think!

> And if you think about it, it does make financial sense for them to forbid streaming. As-is, I am sharing one purchased copy of the game with my friends. We have one cheap GPU server with Hetzner and we take turns playing the games. Or we play a couch-coop game online with multiple Gamepads connected to that one server. If you prevent this form of sharing, each of us would have needed to purchase a copy of the game to install locally, so the publisher is potentially losing money by tolerating game streaming.

You can essentially do all of this with Steam anyway. You can use the Steam Family Sharing to share your video games like that if you're playing at different times. And you can use Let's Play Together to all remote to the same computer and play split screen.
The free beer platform almost certainly helped with universities and hobbyists. It enabled free (as in beer) software - that doesn't work quite the same if you have to pay hundreds for the compiler.

But your narrative doesn't explain why C took over commercial software. Why was Windows written in C? It wasn't because Microsoft could get the compiler for free.

Consider the following:

* The first Fire Brigade, in Rome, was established by someone who would insist on buying your building before extinguishing the fire [1]

* In the present day, you can live in an unincorporated area, decline fire protection offers from the county and from your insurer, and the fire brigade won't come out if you have a fire [2]

* The article provides 11 different sources for the apparently incorrect claim London's insurance fire brigades circa-1700 let uninsured buildings burn.

Personally I find it quite easy to understand why people might believe the incorrect claim.

Very few are going to subscribe to a bunch of niche streaming services like AMC, FX, etc.--even as a fairly cheap Amazon Prime add-on as some of the other smaller services offer. Even most of us who have dropped live TV entirely pick and choose which streaming services we get over time. I know at the moment Netflix is starting to look of questionable value for me.

As a broader principle, just because something (e.g. video entertainment) continues on in a different form doesn't mean there's as much money in it as there was.

Show HN: Share, collaborate, and track your to-do list with friends in real-time
Problem:

Individuals often have a need to keep track of tasks and responsibilities, but it can be difficult to manage these tasks effectively when they are written on paper or saved in a personal document that is not easily accessible to others. This can lead to confusion and inefficient use of time and resources.

Solution:

An online todo list is a web-based tool that allows individuals to create, manage, and share their to-do lists in real-time with friends and colleagues. Users can create tasks and track progress towards completion, all within a single, centralized platform. The real-time collaboration feature allows users to see updates made by others in real-time, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. This helps to improve task management and productivity by providing a clear and organized way to track tasks.
That is the old verbiage, with the current plan, hitting a certain level gets you down to 3% including all fees.

Reminds me of the Stone Soup story from the original creators of Fractint.
I've always felt the real trick was to make students not want to cheat. Or, put another way, convince them to want to learn. You can't convince them all, but the honest students HATE the heavy-handed anti-cheating mechanisms schools are putting in place. They interfere with learning.

Cater to the honest ones, and try, though various means, to convince everyone to not want to cheat. That $80,000 piece of paper isn't worth jack if you can't pass an interview.

There are plenty of ways to cheat your way through school--and being able to get answers off the Internet is nothing new. Frankly, preventing plagiarism in CS has been pretty much a lost battle for years.
The Liberal party, for all its recent decade plus of derangement, is still clearly a center right party on an international scope. It would, for example, be anathema to degrade the level of services we experience in this country (and the Libs did pump a lot of money into services over the last few years, even whilst favouring private schools and clawing back robotically cash from those unable to fight back)

This isn't always possible. I would call myself left in most senses, but I value 2a, and am a campaign badge holder. I am almost always voting against my biggest interests no matter what way I may vote.

The real answer here is more parties that reflect Americans interests better than two parties ever can, imo.
I spend alot of time on youtube and tiktok throughout the day and I'm in my early 40s. Its not til after 8 or 9pm that I will flip to streaming. Contrast that with my youth, where TV was playing constantly.

I must be out of touch or have a dead imagination but I have no clue what this means/what this looks like hypothetically.
> And here we are in modern times where we do, indeed, let buildings burn.

The linked article aside, letting buildings burn down is in fact standard procedure for fire fighters. A sufficiently dense fire is extremely hard to stop as long as it can fuel itself and a controlled burn down is often the only reasonable way to end a fire. It's not like anything would be recoverable in any case.
I think there are certain things that we're simply never going to be able to know with certainty, but it sure it fun to talk about.

That Ancient Apocalypse show in Netflix is really interesting along those lines.
I'm in my early 50s, and I honestly spend about 60% of my video-watching on YouTube, 15% on IG and TikTok, and 25% spread among Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Apple TV+, Prime, etc. I really should start being a serial canceller.
It also ignores the hilariously terrible time Twitter had scaling up in the first few years of it's life.
You did not buy a guaranteed life-long access to online Rocket League in all its future forms.

Your purchase of Rocket League came with access to the online service as it currently stands as a trust only relationship between you and the owners of the online Rocket League service.

I understand your pain here, and I don't want to defend Epic games, but as someone who has created multiple free cloud services only to have their costs or development requirements exceed my ability to maintain them I am weary of anything that would legally require me to maintain a cloud service past my desire to do so.

So will firefighters. They'll save your life to the best of their ability, no matter any contracts, payments, taxes, etc.

These are really funny, thanks for sharing.
[Wing team member here] We feel that the cloud has matured to a point where the basic services have enough in common with each other to allow us to successfully abstract their _functional_ parts. We do not abstract away the non-functional ones. You are welcome to check out the implementation of the standard library on GitHub and let us know what you feel is missing in the different abstractions.
I personally like both.

There is no requirement that you must like corn tortillas, but to act like one is objectively better, rather than simply a matter of personal preference, is ridiculous. (Not that you said this, but the original post I responded to did)
Yes, I was confused by this.

Of course, Google will use its own data to get more precise in pairings IPs with locations. And of course, Google won’t share this data with MaxMind’s GeoIP. Very confusing post.
Do people have that cash lying around, what guarantee would you have that people would pay? Maybe you can take the deed to the house that you saved?
_when the return value is an error code_, zero means success and nonzero means failure. Functions like `read`, `recv`, etc etc don't just return an error code. They return an actual value.

Functions that only return an error code like `stat`, `connect`, and the proposed ckd_add, return 0 on success and nonzero on error.
Nintendo DS did something similar, with the GBA’s ARM7 running in conjunction with the DS’s ARM9 and acting largely as an I/O coprocessor (IIRC) and handling backwards compatibility.

The Wii and Wii U go a little further; in addition to the main PPC CPU, there’s an ARM core handling auxiliary tasks (mostly security and I/O related, but it’s also involved in early boot IIRC). That one’s not there for backwards compatibility; it’s purely there as a coprocessor.
I think the coziness of this recipe might be tempered somewhat by the fun food-borne illnesses that would have to spring up doing this.
I remember even John Gruber (!) was complaining about something like this back in 2015. That matching functionality is something so brittle and suspicious that of course has to be avoided.
Faced with decision overload, most people get more productive where most of the decisions are made for them by somebody else.

If you had to consciously make every single decision about everything you do you would die. That's where habits and patterns come to reduce the number of decisions you have to make to a reasonable level.

Most software development projects really are the same as a lot of other projects. You get API services that basically shuttle data between database and web interface, you get frontends which basically shuttle data between APIs and UI, etc. There is no need to invent everything for every project you do, it is much more productive to just focus on things that are specific to your project and adopt the rest from either your experience or some ready made guidebook.

It is not necessarily a lack of trust. It is just that when I hear some development manager to start on a journey of reinventing everything for a pretty mundane backend project it immediately suggests to me a lack of common sense or prioritising personal goals over good of the project.
Not just for athletes: this is equally applicable to keyboard jockeys with repetitive strain injuries. One of the reasons braces are actually counterindicated.
I agree with you, and it's eye-opening that anyone would think that the original sentiment was clear. What has happened is that Musk has been turning Twitter into his little play pen, exactly what all the critics said would happen, but he is experiencing a lot more pushback than he expected. So in typical fashion, he's wanting to bow out to save face because he can't solve the problem and doesn't really want to, which is why he tried bailing out of the purchase in the first place. Has the grandparent comment already forgot about that? He was just grandstanding and then got caught with his foot in his mouth, and then he just wanted to be fawned over once he was forced to complete the purchase.

He doesn't care about solving the problems. If he did, he would have better understood things before firing >50% of the workforce and several other steps he skipped because he constrained himself by massively overpaying for Twitter.
I mean you're certainly free to paint it as a feature, but Mastodon is getting pushed very heavily by many Mastodon users to Twitter users as a backup (see "movetodon.org", which starts with "Log in with twitter") so I the scaling issues deserve more than the "that's a feature!" I see thrown at every person who brings them up

> Each server in the fediverse should stay relatively small.

Certainly doesn't vibe with the project owners pushing a set of "blessed" servers to every visitor: https://joinmastodon.org/servers

I think this is the biggest reason Mastodon will stay a fringe platform. No one who enjoys it will accept anything of its issues as valid criticism, and if you point out the fact that such a mentality will keep it from getting popular, the reply will be "good! I don't want it to get big!"

Meanwhile the project itself very clearly wants to get popular, and it's clearly being sponsored with the intent that it should become more and more relevant, much to the chagrin of those who were using it before it was cool.

It seems like eventually the cool kids who start to shut out the new kids to stave off an Eternal September, leaving the project in an awkward spot and a steady decline for everyone involved as the old guard shifts energy to building taller and taller fences around their respective echo chambers. (Now what was that about registrations again?)
> And they eventually put it out to prevent it spreading.

Reading the article, that's not true.

They watered down the fence line to protect someone else's land.

> Firefighters did eventually show up, but only to fight the fire on the neighboring property, whose owner had paid the fee.

> "They put water out on the fence line out here. They never said nothing to me. Never acknowledged. They stood out here and watched it burn," Cranick said.

So to your examples...

> They will save your life. They won't treat your trick knee, erectile dysfunction, or failing vision.

It would be closer to the story if it was "they won't save you, but they'll spray down everyone else with a disinfectant to protect them from your disease."
How could it replace Twitter? Even the Mastodon devotees admit it can't scale to that level and the sign-up process will turn off most users before they even get started.
Article doesn't seem to agree with you here, instead citing different reason:

> South Fulton's mayor said that the fire department can't let homeowners pay the fee on the spot, because the only people who would pay would be those whose homes are on fire.
Hm; I thought that Ancient Apocalypse had been debunked here, as a collection of old myths that had been thoroughly discredited, but now presented as current issues. Just an invented-content money grab kind of thing?
Meta plans to devote ~20% of overall costs to Reality Labs in 2023, up from 18%
I think it was a fundamental lapse of judgement and incompetence on the firefighters side. They should have had a plan for uninsured fires nearby, and been able to execute it. What is the marginal cost of putting out a fire for the uninsured, I'm sure its quite low - equipment is paid for, staff is payed for, etc. So they should be able to make a substantial profit by charging $20k for putting it out, or whatever amount they deem necessary.

Just because this was an emergency doesn't mean it wasn't unexpected. We would want firefighters to go the next town over if there was a fire there, so it seems like their insurance policy was improperly under specified.
The problem isn't (specifically) profiteering, it's unequal access. Those drugs are probably a vastly different price if your big insurance company buys them than they are if you're forced to buy them on your own.

I'd like to see there being one price per drug with a small quantity modifier for bulk purchases.
> South Fulton's mayor said that the fire department can't let homeowners pay the fee on the spot, because the only people who would pay would be those whose homes are on fire.
actually, it'd be very very easy to measure with the right stat toolsets.

Simply look at XG, progressive passing, even something as basic as chances created, and i bet you will see a marked difference with other finals.

And I mean the numbers will be high, but critically, and -this is important- they will high numbers split between BOTH teams. I think stats will bear that out. Unf I don't have access to opta to get this info without paying.

Usually in Extra time you have both teams playing conservative, OR 1 team chasing the win and the other holding for dear life.

People will still say the same thing at 80 million accounts that they say at 8. It's easy to be reflexively pessimistic. It's hard to try and see the potential, or even admit the last thousand predictions of doom all the way back to when Mastodon was one server were wrong.
