I don't think i have ever even heard of an unix to FreeBSD migration being done by an large commercial organization, and there is virtually no commercial enterprise software being certified for FreeBSD.

It's one of those things where nostalgic old Unix admins who's not really ready to embrace the anarchy of the Linux ecosystem is kind of pretending some clean old fashioned alternative exist, and cling to the myth that FreeBSD is more of an Unix(tm) Successor then Linux.

And yes i have also not really heard of greenfield Unix(tm) deployments since maybe 2008 and even then Linux was clearly where most people went when their old custom minicomputer(think DEC PDP 20, AS400 and HP3000) systems had to be replaced by something a bit more standardized.
> aoe2 already has randomised maps, I think that's why you actually get less strategy (in a sense).

I'm more of a fan of the in-game, on the spot strategizing that randomized maps force you to do, than the out-of-game meta-strategizing of fixed maps, where you do comparatively limited in-game strategizing.
> And by African, I mean the blackface depiction with the white lips that is reminiscent of old Al Jolson films.

Not trying to excuse anything, but I wonder how much this kind of depiction was an artefact of animation/video production in a black-and-white or early-colour era, much like how old cartoon animals with black fur often wear white gloves, to give hands/mouths some contrast and make movement visible.

Arguably, even "modern" cameras are apparently not designed with noncaucasian skintones in mind, something interest groups do not tire to bring up.
> Comments of the form "price X is unreasonable because I'd never pay it" are mildly annoying. You're an individual, not a market, and as such don't get to choose what a "reasonable" price is.

When my gf wanted an adjustable standing desk the going rate was roughly $600 for anything that had everything she wanted so I built it myself for maybe $200 and the thing is still being used regularly something like 8 years later.

When I want a physical copy of an older PS2 game and they're all $100+, I pirate it.

If _YOU_ want to outsource personal responsibility for your money, that's on you, don't lecture me because I choose not to.

I can conclude that millions for a painting is unreasonable despite many people doing it because they're involved in money laundering just as well as anyone else.
NVIDIA is so far ahead of the competition that people really do not care about the poor API that ROCm offers. Intel is not really a thing to even remotely care about for GPUs, they are still obviously important for CPU end. All the other players matter even less.

I badly wanted something decent as an alternative to CUDA for quite a while, but even after leaving AI myself, it is clear they are not near the standards that NVIDIA has been offering for nearing a decade now already.

We don't even have to get into all the issues consumers have gotten with AMD's GPUs.
I just found out about the Comet Interceptor - designed to remain parked in space, ready to fly to a new target at short notice https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/esa-mission-la... - but it's not the same as a few like that being already in motion and between slingshots at different corners of our system (if something like that could be at all possible..)

I'm not aware of amy significant funding from the eu. The only funding we received was nlnet for a few small projects in neochat, okular, kaidam amd kmail regarding encryption support. And dome small funding from the german environment minister for the kde eco project. In all these cases, it's just enough to pay for part time work for a small amount of time.
"they" probably wont. But "someone" could merge/subset them.

We just need a name for the project.
What if they use a lesser known DOH server, or run their own in EC2?

it's not about owing my parents anything but that as their child i am responsible to take care of them.

in fact, at least in germany this responsibility is even law. if i were earning above my needs, and my parents were on social welfare, i would be legally obligated to support them. same goes for siblings and children, and possibly other close relatives.

so here society does impose its morals.

or, put differenly, i see it as me owing it to society to take care of my famyly by myself instead of relying on society to do it for me
It should be there, because it enables expression just like all other emoji. It would have been a deliberate, discriminatory choice to not include it. If someone doesn't like that emoji, guess what: They don't have to use it!

The whole point of Unicode and emoji in Unicode is to support and enable free expression for the whole world. It makes sense to lean inclusive.
I was skimming specifically looking for price and must have missed the earlier, cheaper, listings. And when they said that $818 price tag was "relatively cheap" I took that to mean that's the entry-level fee and decided to nope on out.

The thing is, _why never wanted to be successful — specifically in the sense of having any of his prose work depended upon by others as pieces of education; nor any of his programs depended upon as pieces of engineering.

Rather, _why was pretty clearly an artist, and was trying — in both his prose and his programming — to make what one might call “experimental didactic art”: works that explore how to teach and how to learn (mostly, about programming), rather than works that use concrete teaching methods to teach particular concepts. The Poignant Guide, Shoes.rb, any of the libraries he spun off — they were all this. You weren’t supposed to use them; you were supposed to look at them, analyze them like a painting, think about the “brush strokes” involved in their construction, and from that, grow your perspective on education itself, and programming education in particular.

But people weren’t doing this. People were treating his “software artwork” like he had intended it all as FOSS projects — things to be contributed to and to polish and to grow, even at the expense of the original goal of representing an exploration of a particular idea, to be absorbed and stolen from. And people were treating him as if he was a core contributor to said not-projects, someone to submit bugs and complaints to, rather than someone who made their own finished thing as a statement and only wanted to discuss its meaning, not keep working on it forever.

matz and Wall are bad comparisons. A better comparison would be to someone famous for being a member of a particular band, who is now no longer in that band, but instead in a different band, making a different genre of music. Are they happy that people still appreciate their old work? Sure. Do they wish people would stop asking them about it? Also yes. Do they want to know that they played a wrong note on a song they recorded twenty years ago? No; what good would that do them now? Do they want you to fix that song of theirs for them, 20 years after release, because hey I’m a sound engineer and — no. Stop. It’s fine. It still works as art with the wrong note; and even if it didn’t, it’s long past its relevance; the people the art was aimed at, the people it was supposed to affect, already either got it or didn’t.

If an engineer takes all their software down, you might call that “throwing a tantrum in response to criticism.” But if an artist takes all their art from one “period” of their works down, they’re just doing something artists do every day: ending a gallery exhibition, either because the message it communicated either succeeded in becoming culturally embedded, or failed to resonate. For an artist, the value of their art is in the communication of thought it enacts, not in the art itself; a piece of art doesn’t have to stick around forever, it just has to be seen by the right people at the right time to nudge the world in the way the artist desired. (In extremis, this is why so many artists are perfectly happy making performance art, where each unique showing is done once, only for those there at the time, to never be experienced again once it’s over. The art was never the point; the communication was!)

IDK, my anecdote: I'm a well paid software dev and I noticed I pay a lot more recently but I prefer going to fancier places with high quality vegetables (usually Sobeys)...but I also rarely discount hunt. I went grocery shopping with my mom recently and she got angry multiple times because I wasn't seeking out the cheaper stuff.

Later my mom said her and my sister (who has kids) have both been going to No Frills more often and have been avoiding more expensive items. She listed off 5 vegetables/fruit she doesn't buy anymore. So when you have to stretch each dollar you definitely pay attention to details like that.

Wow! I don't experience even one of those points the author mentions. In fact quite the opposite. It is unsettling to feel even mildly rich or show the world that I am doing well. Maybe I am not in the majority after all. Or the article is so very rooted in western demography.

Ask HN: Product Knowledge Systems
Hi all,

curious what those manufacturing physical products use for tracking individual units, their hardware, and history.

In this case, suppose a SMB manufactures a sensor unit for industrial use. Volume 100..1000 units per year. Units consists of a few hardware and software components.

What sw or system can be used to track those units and what happens to them? Eg, unit X consists of components A, B, C, firmware version D. Shipped to customer Y, shipped back for repairs at date E, replaced component B with F that has firmware version G. Etc, such things.

I don't know what I don't know and greatly appreciate any pointers!

What are such systems called?
What options are there?
What are most suitable when volumes are small, up to 1k, and what when larger, perhaps 1Mn?
What are the criterias when one should consider migrating from system A to system B, perhaps at a certain complexity?

Thanks!
A standalone MP3 player will tend to have a better interface that is much more responsive. Will be much easier to queue up certain kinds of things with a San Disk Clip Sport than an iPhone. Even just unlocking the phone is a whole thing!

The general thing of futzing around with a home screen, switching apps, having notifications?? When sometimes you just want an mp3 player.

This is my main frustration with these Sony walkmans, is that I'll still have to pay the UI friction cost from it running Android. Would love a device that really sticks to playing music... but I get that that is very hard since you lose streaming optionality.
As we know from experience trying to use computers, humans struggle to remember a series of words, letters and numbers - like these runway instructions. When we are tired or stressed we'll make mistakes. This is true even for highly trained pilots. We need some additional safety methods like the lights. I imagine the pilot writes it down and tries to follow it. But it's a dynamic env, it might be raining, bright, or dark, planes comes and going. You might not remember the details of this runway. That's my naive view as an outsider. Eventually this system will fail (remembering and following) and lead to crash. I never thought about it but it seems inherently risky to have people "remember directions".
Fascinating - in the case of LogRocket, they are the canonical and my blog reflects that too. The other is clearly not...

I'd also written an article on token authentication for django: https://www.spapas.net/2021/08/25/django-token-rest-auth/ using the REST Framework's TokenAuthentication.

This is simplest thing for most cases.

The session authentication that is proposed in the article is also great but has two problems:

* It will be hacky to implement for mobile apps (it should be possible but would not be something I'd like to do, I had tried in the past and remember that I needed to jump to a lot of hoops to "pick" that session cookie)

* The cookies can't be shared between different domains (cookies be shared the same domain or between a parent and child domain, i.e api.example.com can set/get cookies from .example.com).

So you can use the SessionAuthnentication if your frontend and backend share their domain and you know that your API won't ever be used for mobiles apps. On all other cases use TokenAuthentication.

I don't have experience with JWT Authentication, however I know it can be done and is used be various apps f.e baserow: https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/blob/develop/backend/src/...

> You will never switch databases

We used SQLAlchemy on a Python project which allowed us to use an in-memory SQLite DB in our integration tests. This gave us blazingly fast database tests during development where a database was torn down and recreated, with data, for each test in milliseconds. When the commits were pushed, CI would run the tests against SQLite and MySql.

It worked extremely well and would be a tremendous amount of effort to handwrite SQL for both DBs. I'd do it on ever project if I could.
My guess is that very small and very large values in the weights are already trained away due to the regularisation of the cost function, so insignificant changes in a network don't tend to have significant changes in the output.

You gain more by being able to run gradient descent faster than by having higher-precision floats.
Simple debt is a poor metaphor. Jenga tower is a better one. An even better one is "Jenga tower of subprime debt" [1]. Xkcd nails it as usual: https://xkcd.com/2347/

Structurally bad systems look a lot like that. Small misalignments and nonlinearities compound to make the structure vulnerable to a sneeze.

Relatedly, I feel it is not so much what % was applied, but what targets were de-risked. Things that tend to matter include mean time to recovery, time to market from _planning_ to deployment (not just commit to deployment), defect rate (e.g. hotfixes and rollbacks). If the superstructure is good, one can start with cheap panel walls and gradually swap them out for nicer ones with better properties.

A useful lens for understanding these changes was offered by Ronald Coase in his ground-breaking paper from 1937 entitled “The nature of the firm”. Stay small and you forgo the efficiency afforded by scale. Grow too big and a business is too unwieldy to manage—think of Soviet-style command-and-control economies. Most commerce happens in between those extremes. But where on the continuum? Coase, whose insights earned him a Nobel prize in economics, argued that firms’ boundaries—in other words, what to do and what not to do yourself—are determined by how transaction and information costs differ within firms and between them. Some things are done most efficiently in house. The market takes care of the rest.
I simplified reality for the sake of argument. It goes without saying that there are people who have religious or moralic concerns, there also people who have actual good reasons to avoid alcoholic drinks (e.g. if you or someone in your family had problems with alcohol in the past).

I think a realistic stance towards drugs like alcohol or MDMA demands that we do not ignore the problems these drugs cause, but also see with how many users they don't cause any problem at all.
you would need a standalone MP3 player in 2023?

Children. I wanted my daughter to be able to listen to music and audio books, I didn't want to buy her a smart phone. Plus you can buy a good enough one for $30-40, so it's not as big a deal if they lose or break it.

I've also considered getting a cheap one with bluetooth for kayaking, so that I can listen to music without having to worry about my phone getting water damaged.
One way to have the best of both worlds for situations where you have complicated read queries is to create database views for the queries. You can then define them as an unmanaged table in Django (requires some boilerplate) and query them in a simple way as if they were a normal ORM model.
It still seems pretty strange to me that you’re so fervently denying anyone the right to criticize the design and UX choices made in GNOME just because it’s available for free (unless you’re a RedHat customer I guess..).

I assume most people who do that genuinely want GNOME to be improved than due to malice or anything else. What’s wrong about that? If I was working on GNOME I’d definitely prefer users who share their views and opinions to those who just silently quit without saying anything.

It might be nice for the office. I don’t want to run personal streaming software or load my personal mp3s on my work laptop, and I don’t want to forget my phone on my desk (again) because I was using it as a media player.

But $400 is more than I’d want to pay for it.
The problem is that it's gone too far to the other side, aesthetics with little respect for function.

It's akin to that office that has no desk because it would ruin the aesthetics. The desk has to be there, your challenge is (should be) to design around the functional requirements.

I agree, it is pretty niche and I belong to that niche. As a music nerd myself, it was dedicated storage and just being used to having music offline without the streaming services. The iPod nano was so tiny, that it felt like nothing is in my jacket's pocket. I do have some music on my phone, but it's photos that are mostly taking up its storage. I literally have gigabytes worth of music and also audiobooks that are several hundreds of megabytes each. Though I don't have data to support it, I'm also trying to conserve my phone's battery.
If an encrypted file for which there is no key is treatable as derivative by law, then so should be an md5 hash. Both require vast brute force to extract/establish the original data, but both could be said to contain a derived representation of the work in question.

Back in the days of the Exxon Valdez tanker incident, I wondered if the technology did not exist to positively track such major asset positions/directions, and dispatch an alarm from one or more authorities at a distance.

In terms of powering lights/signals, perhaps solar, batteries and a generator for each patch, and if there is no flashing of light visible (indicating power-loss or stuck-at failure), tower clearance must be given?
