I have a question about this, please forgive my ignorance. I see this statement repeated a lot about NixOS and I've kind of had some "success" in the comments section being "critical" / "asking hard questions" about NixOS.

If I have a build script that pulls + compiles + validates with hashes/checksums say, Linux kernel, some userspace tools, init system, etc. for a boring ol' distribution like Alpine or Debian, why isn't that classified as "reproducible" the same way NixOS is?

const options = {
target: ts.ScriptTarget.ES2017,
module: ts.ModuleKind.CommonJS,
};

const someJavaScriptCode = ts.transpileModule(someTypeScriptCode, { compilerOptions: options });

console.log(someJavaScriptCode.outputText);

That saved me a good five minutes with minimal disruption to my flow. Those little things add up to a significant amount of time and energy. I have two young children, ages 1 and 4, and these tools make it possible for me to program in little 10 minutes bursts between basically endless cooking and cleaning chores.

I actually take offense to the notion that you would consider people who find these tools useful to be incapable engineers.
Having spent 2 decades programming I feel I was indeed surrounded by opinionated people who were narrow minded and combative, and often I felt looked down upon regarding my tech stack or code or interests ( eg I remember there being a strongly negative bias against bitcoin in the early days). Now I know according to research most would have been on the autism spectrum and generally less socially adjusted as others with other careers.

I think my point is engineering may lend itself to strong opinions in people with poor social skills.
Yes, and the article even notes this information value to the user. That's why every published book still carries a notice. If someone needs to know, it can be looked up easily. But in a software project that's being continually updated, to know what's covered by copyright at any particular time, you'd have look at the change dates in the code base. Maybe displaying a 'last updated' date to the user might be useful. Usually the user wants to know: is this still maintained or is it dead? Is it current?
The game has changed, and so should its objectives. Applauding this.
>> What we do share is a feeling that’s common among those who have had traumatic experiences: neglect, shame and a sense of being unheard by those in power.

They might want to read "Running on Empty" - the book notes that various forms of emotional neglect can have effects like trauma, but this is often overlooked by psychologist and therapists. I enjoyed the part in the article where the author said they finally allowed themself to be angry and wanted to ask "who should that anger really be directed at?"

I think a lot of folks undervalue the power of "cult-like" behavior when it comes to successful companies. Steve Jobs learned directly from the Hare Krishna's how to get a bunch of people working hard and moving in the same direction for basically no money. We see the same thing in We work.

It's not. You will get up early, that's true. Then you'll spend until noon in zombie mode, then you'll blow through the afternoon, all stressed, trying to desperately catch up with your work as to not have to stay late. Then the partner/family stuff, and then with the evening, comes the big problem: you now need those late-night hours even more, to unwind, to sort your thoughts out. However, it also feels bad to not go asleep with your partner together. But then, you're not really in the mood for anything and going to sleep early feels like throwing away the best part of the day.

In the famous words of Admiral Ackbar, it's a trap. Ask me how I know.

There are facts about experiences (such as the fact that some people have perfect pitch), and Mary can learn those facts from a book. It is a premise of this thought experiment, however, that you cannot learn things such as what it is like to see colors (or to have perfect pitch ourselves, for that matter) from books. The notion that this presents some sort of challenge to materialism comes from a) the way we use "to know" polysemously (at least in English), to refer both to having both factual information and memories of sensory input and emotions, and b) the misdirection of limiting what Mary studies to physics, as if this limitation on what you can learn from book studies was particular to the physical sciences. The argument is ultimately trivial, as its conclusion does not go beyond its tacit premise.

CSS is one of the languages that everyone shits on because they never bothered to learn it properly. When you learned your programming language of choice you probably read a formal tutorial, or followed a full fledged course. Well once you spend some time learning CSS, it becomes incredibly easy to do almost everything you want.

If you know your basic CSS selectors `.stack > * + *` is very easy to understand. I didn't know `* - *` was sometimes referred to as "lobotomized owl selector" but it doesn't matter, `>`, `*` and `+` are all basic selectors that everyone working with CSS should know from the top of their head. None of these are "clever". If you can't read `.stack > * + *`, you don't know CSS selectors. I'd even argue if you don't use mostly `>` instead of ` ` (space selector) your stylesheets are probably unmaintainable.

CSS hacks were a shit show 10 years ago because of browser compatibility, but the thing presented here is not a hack, it's just a useful rule.

Spend some money on a good cabine air filter. Especially cheap and midrange cars come with simple ones, that can easily be replaced with activated carbon filters. It may cost 50-100 usd every two years extra, but it’s worth the money if you have allergies. It also reduces bad smells from outside air.

For example mann-filter.com sell also biofunctional filters for many car models. They made a huge difference for me. And worked flawlessly for 2 years.

Curious, do you know the solutions here? I've looked into integrating Git LFS-like things into Git and it felt like Git doesn't give you many tools. Smudging, as hacky as it is, feels one of a very small pool of options you have. I want to say Git Annex does something slightly different.

Regardless Smudging felt fine due to how difficult Git made it. Are there better ways in your mind?
Yea - I'm sure you're right.
Like most arguments of this type it assumes the conclusion then acts like it’s terms don’t do that.

If Mary knows everything about red then she also knows what seeing it is like. If she doesn’t… then she doesn’t. They try to have it both ways by hand waving & hiding behind colloquial language but it still comes down to that in the end.

The thought experiment just reveals the writers own biases & limitations of thought rather than be revelatory in any way.

In fact this paper is often used by opponents of qualia as demonstrating why they are nonsensical & incoherent.

Got to say, I agree. Daniel Dennett has his flaws but his argument that this type of thought experiment is a category error & that qualia do not exist and are incompatible with what are basic facts we know about neuroscience should have ended this years ago.
It really depends on context.

On HN I trust someone who's inviting nit-picking by saying "this is SOP, google it your damn self" a lot more than I trust someone citing their sources because there are a fair number prolific commenters who form an opinion and then back it up with cherry picked links as a debate tactic (moves the debate from one of their opinion to one of source credibility).

In synchronous communication or another context where I can't reasonably "just google it" the suggestion to do one's own research is a lot more suspect.
Yeah in a smaller town I could see shame masks working as long as they don't actually hurt the person. Just embarrass the heck out o them.

I've noticed my kids have always used talk to text when querying google right from the start. They just like by-passed the keyboard and never learned how to type.

Teachers told me that was not okay because I would need handwriting skills at my job.
I am surprised so many talented engineers went the touchscreen route. Volkswagen, Mercedes and more recently BMW are going this way. In my experience it is not only annoying, it is a safety hazard. In my old car, I could feel for the button to turn on the defrosting without ever taking my eyes off the road, it was so well designed!

In a way, it feels that the current trend is very much like the Apple laptops at some point, where they god rid of the physical function keys and replaced them with touch sensitive controls. Thankfully, Apple is reverting this change.

I think at some point car manufacturers will realise that it leads to more accidents and they will also reverse course. Perhaps touchscreens will even be forbidden?

Caveat: I was wrong before on touchscreens. I though phones with touchscreens will not work out, but they have. However, it is because we no longer use phones for phoning, but to watch movies, read text, etc.

This is great; I'm also looking for cloud backup solutions that are highly cheap.

I'm also absolutely hate the Chrome Marketplace for prohibiting the existence of such tiny use cases (although kind of understandable)

But I'm also aware that Azure can't be that cheap. And thankfully, the repo includes a description of the catch:

> Restoration: For 1TB, this will cost about $100.88 (rounded up). Small price for salvation.

For those who don't know, Clouds separate costs based on readiness (Hot, Archive) and operations (Read, List, Write), unlike Google Drive, which has fixed pricing per TB

So, this makes use of the Archive's low cost, which won't work well for backup use cases that require random access (such as looking up an old photo), but will be great for an additional backup that comes after a local hard disk backup.

Great solution though! Maybe with some adjustment someone can make it Support random access in the future (making an index to restore a single file to "Hot Storage" again)

Honestly I have my doubts that current programming could be replaced by AI (other than General AI that would replace just anyone).

Programming is a precise work. Every bit matters. One flipped bit could change things drastically.

Current AI works in a kind of imprecise environment. What astonishes me is that GitHub Copilot can't perform arithmetic. For example I just wrote:

// 23.56 * 4 / 3 = 31.413333333333334
// 1280 / 16 * 155 = 24800

Text after `=` was completed by Copilot. You can check with calculator that first result is correct and second result is not correct.

I've encountered similar issues with ChatGPT. It tries to work as calculator but it's not reliable.

I do understand that this particular issue could be solved by adding some special handling into that AI. But this highlights general issue: this AI is imprecise.

And this is major discrepancy between current generation of AI and programming.

Drawing images imprecisely is fine. Few weird pixels won't make it or break it. 6 fingers are weird but kind of acceptable. Writing selling texts imprecisely is fine. Writing software programs imprecisely is not fine.

I think that we miss some kind of absolutely precise AI. Built on logic engine. Which will never do false statement. Which will never make false calculation. But yet more powerful than static algorithms.

With that kind of AI we could invent new programming languages which would be extra-high-level yet this AI will be able to optimize those to very fast machine code. That could change programming drastically.
Had some Terry Davis vibes.
My career now spans nearly 40 years. If I had a nickel for every technology that was going to reduce the need for developers and put us all out of work...

What has happened instead is we now have more developers than ever and I would argue the productivity of the average developer is 10x-100x what it was when I first started, thanks to all these tools and technologies. That's how software is eating the world: more people than ever are creating an order of magnitude or more than ever and yet the global backlog of software needing to be written is increasing!

I'm looking forward to using ChatGPT to assist with my own projects. There are so many projects in my backlog and many projects that just never get done because we don't have enough manpower to get the work done and not enough money to hire (and manage) any more developers. In other words, we weren't going to be hiring anyway, yet we're going to be able to get more needed work done.

I realize the software we create will put a lot of people out of work, but at my company a full 40% of the employees are eligible for retirement within the next five years. Right now there's no way we can create enough software to eliminate those positions and there simply isn't enough people in the labor force to replace them. This technology might be the silver bullet we need to solve this problem.

One could see where there's a biological advantage in this pattern. For a group of pre-modern humans, most tasks will happen during daylight, but some (keeping watch, childcare, tending a fire) work best with someone awake around the clock. Notably, those tasks can be done by people who aren't either physically able enough (older) or mentally experienced enough (younger) to do the core activities (hunting and gathering).

With older people waking up very early, and adolescents staying up very late, you can cover the entire daily cycle with alert humans capable of doing basic tasks (and alerting the rest of the group should something come up).

Podman is a community project. Anyone can setup repos to update any distribution. Many distributions are managing versions of Podman. OpenSuse, Fedora, Centos, RHEL, Debian, Arch all supply updates. There is also the Kubic project in which community members are providing versions for Ubuntu.

Red Hat developers primary work in the upstream. There are also Red Hat engineers that work on packaging for Fedora, RHEL and Centos Stream, as well as Clients for Windows and Mac. We work with Fedora to provide CoreOS images for Windows and Mac.

Red Hat engineers work with the community for support of the other distributions, but they don't guarantee or support for all other distributions or versions of distributions.
