This looks very promising. I basically could print an enclosure to specifically fit my home space. And easily print a new one when I move.

More efficient use of space compared to my current silent mini-home lab -- also about 2U worth of space, but stacked semi-vertically [1].

That's 4 servers each with AMD 5950x, 128GB ECC, 2TB NVMe, 2x8TB SSD (64c/512GB/72TB total).

I have a naive question..what would happen if google simply stopped paying this money, and let the user decide?...I guess it wouldn't affect them much, google is still the best search engine.
Obviously just a personal opinion, but Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is a much more compelling story than Solaris (the only Lem I've read). I loved Solaris. It's a beautiful piece of writing. But Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I'm not surprised that Blade Runner makes a more compelling movie than Solaris's film adaptation.
He never actually suggested that.

What he did argue was that if you put people to work and pay them for it that's better for the economy as a whole than if they did nothing and earned nothing, even if the work they do is of low (perceived) value. Digging holes and filling them back in is simply an extreme example to emphasize the point.

The reasoning is of course a pretty standard demand-side argument: giving more people more money causes more money to be spent, which boosts the economy.

What is the legal reason in this case? Ban evasion on a social media app doesn't sound illegal.
"Yelp" is the sound a dog makes when you step on its tail. "Review" websites are, to a large portion of the population, complaint websites.

By all means, keep an eye on what's being said about you and look for red flags, but don't be that neurotic boss that rides your employees every time a review under 5 stars comes in. The best restaurants around that have stayed for more than a few years often are the ones with 3 stars -- 5 usually just means they're new, not particularly good, and people coming in are adventurous, rather than following what someone advised.
By this logic, maybe leetcode is a sign of somewhere that indulges in death marches and should be best avoided working for?... except when everyone does it, and/or applicant is out of work
I kindly suggest that you google "Is addiction a choice?" and "Is smoking addictive?" and learn a few things before taking such an absolutely absurd high-ground devoid of empathy or experience of either subject from the perspective of the person addicted to smoking.

If the bar for joining the military or manning a submarine is that you had never made a poor choice in your adult life, it would be impossible to recruit. All humans make poor choices, and for all sorts of reasons. Smoking is just one example that many people - yourself included - seem quick to condemn without understanding.
Co-founder of Sequent Tech and author of the post here, happy to answer any questions.
Exactly. People replying to you are acting like a smoker will literally explode if they don't smoke for a few months. Some of these comments are truly bizzare! We're talking about cigarettes here.

Just like a nonsmoker, smokers are just fine being forced to go without cigarettes while underway. My husband was both a smoker and a submariner at the same time for many years. He couldn't stand vaping or using dip so he was just was forced to go without nicotine for the duration of the underway. Of course he (and the other smokers) were really grumpy about it, but that's it.

I also have smoker relatives who were somewhat frequently hospitalized. You simply can't smoke in a hospital, tough cookies if you want a cigarette. You simply just deal with going without - you can be prescribed nicotine patches is all, which aren't helpful to my family members.

We are talking about people getting annoyed they can't smoke.
There have been plenty of billionaires put a few hundred million into a product they know is a sham with the intent to make a profit.

The saleable output of 'revolutionary' tech startups isn't the product, it's a story that sells shares.

That said, I think there's a reasonable chance Helion has realised this and is just playing the same pantomime with the intent of doing real engineering with the proceeds even though they know a product is unlikely. Sort of a reverse scam.
This is only true if you're traveling solo or with one other person to city centers. Airbnb is far superior for:

* Traveling with young children
* Traveling to visit family in rural areas
* Traveling for pleasure in rural areas

For example, I can get a house on Airbnb near my extended family in a rural area that has 2-3 bedrooms for a similar price as the 2 rooms that would be required when traveling with my immediate family.

Cross-shopping hotels is useful in some situations, but don't pretend Airbnb has no advantages.
ES isn't cheap to start with, and I agree with you on that, but it is straightforward to scale after you go above 3-6 nodes. ClickHouse is easy to start with (a single server), but not so much with unobtrusive scaling up or down.

> What about index mapping, how many primaries, how many replicas, index rollover. Is your hot tier optimised for ingest, warm tier optimised for querying, and cold tier optimised for storage?

Yes, there are details in this, but like every truly distributed system, you can't just plug it in and hope it works in the most optimal way. Also, regarding hot/cold storage, AFAIK, ES can do it after the fact, but with CH, you need to plan it in.

> Sure but in the end it boils down to whether that operational cost is worth it for the value received. And as ELK is commonly used to centralise infrastructure logs, tools like Loki, SigNoz are becoming worthwhile alternatives.

Actually, it boils down to whether you plan to grow or not, and tools like SigNoz or Loki has their place for sure. For example, for centralized logging, if you have a few servers and keep it that way for the next N years, ELK might not be for you. But, if you suddenly end up with 100 servers, ML team and would like to drill through logs and other data to get more insight on everything, moving to ELK will be way pricier than starting with it.
There are no other browsers on iOS. They're all Safari wearing a different surface mask.

I am not sure I get the flaw. The author says that the problem is an attacker only needs 100,000 iterations to get the master password hash, instead of doing the 100,000+100,000 iterations to get the master password and the master password hash.

Wouldn't though the master password hash be so long, that 100,000 iterations would be really hard to brute-force?
Zero to Nix and its NixOS section is elegant and simple.

It has already been said many times but NixOS suffer from a poor and a fragmented documentation.

The Official Nixos Manual is a very good start to install Nixos. But that's it.

It does not explain all the logic behind NixOS for already experienced user. Because yes, Nixos is absolulety not for beginners !

Nixos is a kind of blackbox where once you've luckily found the site https://search.nixos.org/options it comes with all the options you were looking for.

You need a sysadmin background to understrand theses options like (ie: services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name>.locations.<name>.extraConfig). A reverse dictionary of how we used to do things with traditionnal distro and how to do with Nixos should be a very good start !

At least, the extrem big fucking issue is the complete mess between Nixos/Nix/Flake/Home Manager. Theirs documentation and definition are often "recursive dependant" in a way you are completely lost.

If i compare to AUR (ArchLinux User Repository), the learning curve to create a custom package is quite easy. For Nix, it requires an amount of concentration, reads and skills to do the same. This discourage users.
This line of reasoning troubles me. Calling swaths of people narcissistic and antisocial isn’t productive and comes off as really hateful and bitter. IDK. Maybe hacker news isn’t a healthy place for me to be. Perhaps I need to take a break from the Internet.
(Unless of course they prioritize something that Apple deems to be against their rules.)
There is 86Box and PCBox which are emulators with retro PC gaming in mind. PCBox has Pentium III support which would be good for Windows 2000 or XP. They don't support ARM or macOS though.
' “Tipping is about making sure the people who are performing that service for you are getting paid what they’re owed,” said Schenker, who’s been working in the service industry for roughly 18 years. '

Shouldn't that be the employer's job? I'm not exaggerating when I say this tipping culture is a major reason why I wouldn't move the US. It's ridiculous.
You can say something like "if you're unsure of the answer then say so"
Yeah, my first thought about Pro was that even if I pay $42 per month, the results will still be nerfed, and perhaps increasingly so over time.

It's possible to view almost every fact or opinion as somehow controversial, and I think they're misguided in trying to prevent things that may generate minor controversies.

In fact, it's interesting to see how a LLM might be biased after taking in massive amounts of training data.
As unhealthy and disgusting as smokers' clouds are, that wasn't the truly dangerous thing.

What was and still is dangerous are the open flames and high temperatures involved with smoking and other flammables. A fire aboard an aircraft can quickly lead to a crash, so the less flammables there are the better.

You don't use fire on airplanes, end of.
,,In addition, Apple has been underfunding Safari for the past decade leading to missing critical functionality and a buggy experience for Web App developers thus ensuring that Native Apps, another Apple revenue source, are the only viable solution.''

It's not just funding. Apple changed webapps to delete indexedDB periodically even if they are inatalled on the home screen.

There's no way to have a great experience if you can't store data permanently.

Yeah but what you gonna do if they do say no?

You can’t kick them off, you’re not going to get violent with them and coerce them so the only answer is turning the plane around if they don’t and how do you think the other passengers will react to that.

End of the day the rest of the world has moved on and no longer consider all this an issue and would rather just get on with their lives without inconvenience and yeah we can imagine a world where they have a bit more empathy for those that haven’t but I just don’t see how you can imagine that scenario playing out.
I think it would be extremely unusual for someone to chase me down over a tip I've left in Europe.
I think it used to be. It was common travel advice. But only for longer stays. After covid hotels rarely do regular cleaning ime or they want to conserve water. I used to do it, but totally forgot about it until you mentioned. I've pretty much stopped. I also don't carry cash anymore except for emergencies and tipping isn't an emergency
I don't disagree but prior to ww2's investment into R&D, infrastructure and labor force the economics of the industry were fundamentally different. The 1950s and early 1960s were to airlines what the 1990s were for computing.
My remark was about Fenster, and a critique of your comment that it somehow isn't good enough because it lacks GPU acceleration and that sort of thing. The point of Fenster is to be minimal and simple yet still allow programmers to get stuff on the screen in a way that's easy and fun. It performs superbly at the role it was conceived for. We can list features we want/think are table stakes for a modern graphics pipeline or whatever, and there are plenty of libraries that are up to those tasks. This one is doing something different.

Also, if I see something advertised as 5€ I expect to pay 5€. Having to pay more then the advertised price feels like I've been tricked.

I've never been in the US, but just thinking about having to pay more then what was written and knowing that due to not having a lot of money, I could get in trouble, gives me anxiety...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(psychology)

Popularised as an idea by Freud, sublimation is the act of repressing and redirecting baser instincts into something "healthy" in the view of society -- often as a defence mechanisim.

Sexual sublimation is redirecting sexual energies and desires into other activites, usually identified as creative.

I am making no claims about the correctness of this, but it lives on in popular understandings of the mind.
I reached 90 WPM through an organic process that started with hunt-and-peck. Reverse engineering that process, I discovered that I often perform rolls were standard QWERTY touch typing would have me do a single finger bigram (SBF). That is, I do not always use the same finger for the same key to avoid SBFs.

So learning to touch type for me is a frustrating experience because it forces my fingers into less efficient movements.

That’s why I’m working on learning an optimized layout called Hands Down Neu. Up to 20 WPM atm using feurix “speedpad” to train and track progress offline. Matplotlib to graph progress.

I'm overly simplifying, but if policy is to not smoke and you can't (or refuse to) follow orders, you're out. Dishonorable discharge.

Adults are not children, much less military personnel. Smoking is a choice and you are responsible for your choices. "It's an addiction." is a lazy, irresponsible excuse and escape.

> it passes the "your grandmother can use it" test IMO.

Indeed, but note that having the token is still rare. It'd be good if browsers exposed TPMs via WebAuth since they're more common on consumer-grade hardware.

And also the "minor" thing that having only one strong authenticator makes it super-easy to lose own data just in case the authenticator breaks etc.
If I am not too much mistaken, because on some hardware (mobile), there is no vsync feedback.

vsync feedback support has to be queried (look at vulkan API/wayland API). Usually it is called "presentation" something.
Yet, in just a few years all the French reactors will be mothballed because they cost several times as much to operate as buying off the grid.
I don't get why food is so expensive in the US. You would think economy of scale would kick in at some point. I eat at home now except for being social and tbh even then I'd rather just cook for a group. A good cookbook will get you better food then almost all restaurants. Even obscure ingredients from Asia are imported or even grown in the US now. There are a few exceptions
That sounds like an excuse. I do agree they’d likely both feel more or less instant though.

Thanks for creating the issue. Yeah, this is what we also found, that Loki is not designed for querying high cardinality data.

But since Loki is many times used in observability use cases, where there is sometimes a need to query high cardinality data, we thought to include it.
Mac OS’ default filesystems, HFS+ and APFS, historically have been case-insensitive, although case-sensitive variants exist. In the Unicode database the uppercase variant of ‘ß’ is recorded as upper('ß') → 'SS', according to most recent and common usage. A capital ẞ exists, but is rather new. One can assume that your filesystem does their filename comparisons and possible storage with `lower(upper(filename))` or such.

Another pitfall of Mac filesystems are Unicode normalizations of precomposed characters, which changed between HFS+ and APFS I think.
I graduated during the dotcom bust, and the best thing I did was taking a temporary job at pretty much minimal wage. As soon as I had some experience on my CV, I got a lot more interviews afterwards.

I am in agreement that apprenticeships seem to be a good thing that we should reintroduce. Working in IT, real world experience seems to count at least as much as anything I learned on university. The only times I have needed to implement a sort algorithm is for interviews.
Covid doesn't crash planes.

Smoking can.
I don't understand why people tip. I never tip. Sometimes tips are included in cheque as a flat percentage, that's fine for me as long as it's stated before order. But why would I pay more than necessary to someone who did his work? That makes no sense for me. If you're not paid well, leave and find another work, that's none of my business. I'm not that rich to throw money around to everyone who wants it.

And if the service is bad, I'll require to fix it or decline to pay at all.

I guess that cultural thing.
it's Scotland. Making a citizen's arrest is not so crazy.
I read that as a "total of 600 000" iterations, so 300 000 locally and 300 000 on the server. Am I wrong?
I'm not sure, I just read it somewhere some time ago, somewhere I read that iOS deletes it weekly or something like that. But I'm happy that I was wrong about it.
> I don't know why here in the west it's common practice to actually not pay employees enough and rely entirely on tips

It's really mostly the case in North America. In most of Europe, tipping is more an exception than a rule. "Normal" service (i.e. being nice to clients and appropriately responding to requests given the standing of the place) is expected to be included in the price. I tip only when I got really outstanding service, and even then, mostly as a symbolic gesture of appreciation (2-5% ballpark figure).
I truly love to ride a motorcycle.

No ignorance on it’s order-of-magnitude lethality multiplier over cars. But there is a certain cognitive-adrenaline fused pleasure that comes with seamlessly gliding your way through the perfect Bézier-esque curve over a gentle highway turn, whilst being held in the ever-present protective arms of gyroscopic precession, that makes the danger of it all worth it to me.

Rollercoasters let you experience a far greater degree of adrenaline and wind rushing through you, but don’t come close to this particular feeling of smiling at death.
Idea I've been rolling over in my head is the west (other places too) are straight jacked by the way that passive capitalists/financiers see the world. When they see demographic shifts which reduce the number of workers, family formation and gasp shrinking population all they are capable of doing is react in horror about what that's going to do to the value of their paper asset hoards.

Population decline -> decline in demand for paper products -> Dunder Mifflin sales down -> DMI market cap go down? ...no No NOOOOOO.

America has a substantial underclass of undocumented migrants who would presumably not be interested in getting their KYC info and employment details put in a big database.

Why should a browser app be allowed to store data permanently? I think that breaks
normal ideas about how browser apps work, except for cookies everything is stored server side.
I have a bookmarks list of "cool projects that I'll probably never do". That prevents me from fixating and gives me the peace of mind that it's not "gone forever" in case I ever want to refer to it again. Tags help semi-organize the list.

Similarly a "Maybe Someday" list or a list that contains ideas for projects or tasks or wishes, but I tend to cull this list every month or so.

Both of these things help me to reduce overwhelm of the multitude of awesome stuff I could be doing, but I'm so overwhelmed by choice that I don't do anything.

Using a timer or a blocker may also help you. Or as others have already pointed out the "noprocast" setting is an option on HN.

Realizing when I was entering the "time-blindness tunnel" has been the single most tool for me. At that point I would ask myself what was going on emotionally. This was aided by a website blocker that redirected to a page that just had the question: "What are you feeling emotionally and physically right now? Why did you want to go that website?"

I've learned to identify triggers that get me sucked in and by limiting my access to certain services/websites I've been able to waste less time.
