In bucket number four, there’s also the option of a PaaS experience in your own cloud. Of course there are always trade-offs on control and complexity, but if you want to deploy to fargate or Google Cloud Run, without getting bogged down in writing pipelines and infra as code, and you want to get the Vercel-level developer experience that we all are getting used to - check out this category of tools. Including one where I’m a cofounder - withcoherence.com!

I would agree with this - classes before 9 am seem unnecessary. I would also argue that theres a moral hazard too pushing the start time back which means that this enables people to stay up later.
Doubly so when you live with a partner. Triply so when you have kids that will wake up (for the final time) at some point between 0400 and 0600, so you can't even rely on that time being uninterrupted anyway.
Ask HN: Best Book to Learn Programming?

Can you explain how you think the techempower benchmarks are faked?
This is why PDFs intended for long term use or wide distribution should always (and often do) embed nom-standard fonts (eg as in PDF/A).
Depends on the firm, but there is usually a "lock-up" period of several years where you cannot divest. Sometimes the firms will return the money early if things are getting bad but once the money is deployed they can't risk a bank run because they'd have to fire sale their investments which would be bad for everyone.
What do you use when you decide to host 8PB of data yourself?

60x18TB - 1PB raw
$10,000 for a 60 drive chassis
$250/drive = $15,0000
$25,000 total

You're going to need 12-15 of those, right? $300-400,000

Now what do you run on top of that, CEPH? NFS shares? Present it as iSCSI?

This is a pretty good public article on the topic of copyright notices in open source projects:
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/copyright-notices-...
although it doesn't explicitly address why the date can/should be omitted.

The way I would put it: copyright notices in open source projects are typically not intended to function as formally (under US law) correct copyright notices, which do require a year. Rather, they serve different purposes for which the year is not necessary. And if you do include a year, the notice is likely to become inaccurate over time, which will make it formally invalid (under US law). That is not likely to be significant, but it makes inclusion of the year relatively pointless, in relation to the labor that would be involved in attempting to keep the year accurate.
I'd still call it mind-diarrhea, but I'd definitely buy first round, and we'd likely part as friends, even if you didn't like my characterizations.
This was my thought as well. And I think it is an important fact to keep in mind. You can fool an AI by putting a sticker on a stop sign, but then again you can fool a human by stealing the entire stop sign.

Either way you're defacing infrastructure in a way that's potentially dangerous. It's just that the particular failure cases for an AI is different (and somewhat incomprehensible) to humans.

Of course, a self driving system could also be linked to a network that has redundant information about the road and could also broadcast its position and immediate intent to all other nearby self driving systems.

Now, on the other hand. If a police officer sees a missing stop sign, then it's pretty obvious that there is something that needs to be reported and addressed. However, if there's a small sticker on a stop sign (possibly something even confusable as just dirt or bird poop) then it might not be obvious that this represents a road hazard.
Indeed. I was being facetious

That's a contradiction. If you mean source-available, say so.

Realistically, a non- open-source build system is doomed to obscurity.
I love watching this guy on youtube, Primitive Technology, because I see him do things and think, if I were in that situation - or out in the sticks with nothing but my trousers on - I too would get creative with clay and whatever else he's got available to him, with just the basic knowledge of things that I have picked up over the years. And that's just from absorption, if you and a hundred generations of your ancestors lived in that situation they'd thrive.

I can see why there's many that claim that older times were more leisurely, as in, less time spent "working" as people do today. I'm not saying it was easier, but definitely simpler.
For pricing plans, is spreadsheet best use case for ?
I think I understand the distinction you're making, but don't see why it matters. In both cases, skill and artistry are replicated by capital machinery using the same skill and artistry, but without paying for it (or paying for much less of it).
Wait, why not spreadsheet ?
My initial motivation was just low amount of information I was getting about the candidate. The point of interview is to get to know each other. To figure out if I would like to work with the person.

But the interview is very small amount of time to figure this out and there is very little information when all you are getting is the candidate staring at the screen until they come up with an answer. On the other hand I can't just have a chit chat with the person -- there are people who are good at talking but can't do shit. I resolved I will not hire a person that can't actually demonstrate they can do things but it is upon me to make this work.

So I pretty much dropped questions that only probe knowledge and decided to focus exclusively on questions/tasks that require more mutual engagement. Like development tasks that require the candidate to work with me to produce a solution. Or open ended technical questions that prompt discussion, etc.
I don't think "feeding poor people food that gives them diseases and harms their quality of life" is success.

The US could feed people cheaply without using harmful additives. Instead of a $1 McBurger made possible through subsidies, environmental destruction and cancer-causing chemicals we could be eating $1 McChanaMasala or McDal or McLocalSeasonalVegetables.

Billions of people around the world eat rice, beans, legumes, root vegetables with small amounts of locally sourced cheese, meats, fruit, vegetables etc. America's poor eat high fructose corn syrup, highly processed wheat, vegetable oil and the meat from cows and chickens raised on unnatural diets in horribly unhealthy conditions. That's not an improvement.

I don’t understand - how is it not a server port? When a datagram arrives from the network it’s addressed to the server’s IP and a port (and from a client IP and port). How is the data delivered to the correct socket if not through the 5-tuple (which includes server port) to socket mapping?

> Mein Kampf should be available just as it was written

In France (and probably a lot of other countries), Mein Kampf is freely available with annotations. I think it's a good compromise to distribute the book as it was written, but with inline analysis explaining historical context, fallacies and everything worth noting about the text.

If an old book is problematic or contains problematic language, it should be explained, not banned or censored.
To the contrary, there are genetic changes that correlate to different chronotypes [0]. I find interesting the hypothesis that chronotypes arose as a survival advantage because tribes could more naturally sleep in shifts to stay safe during the night time. I do think, however, the genetic component is overstated. I agree with you that it is more habit than anything, and lifestyle.

We as a society should do more research to determine how large the habit versus genetic components are, or publicize the information and act on it more if it is out there already. If we are fighting an unwinnable battle trying to adjust people in opposition to their genetics, we should change our practices. Similarly, if we are instilling a defeatist mindset into people (e.g. “I can’t do that, I’m not an early bird”) which cannot be justified by science, we should change our perception.

Unclear to me what "The 1 Thing" is because the article lists many and those might not apply to all companies equally. "Amazon's top executives are asking their employees to change the way they work [come back to the office] in order to make the executives' lives a little easier."

Please don’t automate the climate controls further. If it’s 20F outside, I’m probably bundled up and happy with 55F cabin temperature. If it’s 85 I’ll be wearing a tshirt and will freeze in 65F.

Then there’s a separate issue of the control system being crappy. Even if it’s 20F and you need to heat the cabin to 55F, I don’t want deafening heat blasting in my face for 2 minutes to get there ASAP. I’d prefer a 10-15 slow ramp.

I realize those are highly personal desires, but I’m way better served by an old school(hot/cold)x(1/2/3/45) control. I’m happy to be the PID controller for the system
Unless I'm missing something, if the fonts aren't embedded in the first place then it shouldn't make any difference. The text should be encoded properly so that it can render now without the fonts (in which case we know which glyphs to use), the same will be true later.

> I experienced a deep realisation that our thoughts manifest from nowhere and not from ourselves (words fail me here) and that the construct of 'me' was completely false and was just a reverberation of my environment. I understood there was no me. This was really nice for about two weeks and then my ego (I expect) just kicked my arse and brought me back down to earth with a crash (maybe its a safety system)

Just for the conversation: the «from nowhere» really just might be the unconscious brain, as the relationship between conscious and unconscious is ambiguous at best. The conscious insist in being in control, most of the time fooling itself, while the unconscious does most of the work in a really autonomous way.

Maybe the «safety system» was just the unconscious rebelling to prove it does indeed exist and that the conscious should take note, and resume its part in the general guidance of the being :)
It's all a matter of the context that humans understand. I've seen stop signs for the left hand turn lane that the main lanes didn't have. I've also seen signs a bit askew (probably from kids messing with the sign) that were angled in such a way that an automated system may think belongs to the wrong street, but a human has no issues with.

Touchscreens should be outlawed. End of story. They are extremely dangerous. I’ve driven a Tesla for 5+ years now and I hate with a passion how the temperature interface is. It’s the single worst thing about it. And tesla loves changing it every few months including location. That should be outlawed as well.

A year ago they changed the air to a sliding bar which was inconceivably stupid. It was straight up dangerous to try to change the air level while driving because not only did you have to look to get your finger on it, it was so sensitive it was hard to get it to the level you wanted.

They should outlaw changing the interface of a car once it had been released. This isn’t a computer it’s a car. Lives are depending on it and the hubris tesla had to change it Willy nilly is infuriating.
We're not "putting up" with it, we're downvoting it and ignoring it. That's how you get it to stop or at least be filtered out.

It's better to shun and ignore an unwanted post than to try to berate, punish and ban or delete it, IMO. Let people shout into the void if they choose to. You gave them the validation - there is no such thing as bad attention.
a more interesting treatment of the topic by the author of curl is here: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-yea...

including an opposing view which suggests to include the original year and keep that:

https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/how-and-why-to-properly-wr...

mainly for this reason:

having an easy way to find the earliest date of a piece of code, might prove useful also in figuring out when an invention was first expressed to the general public. Something that might become useful for patent defense

so while updating the year does not seem very useful, knowing when a file was created is much more useful.
It's the same reason you shouldn't wave pedestrians across any other multi lane traffic, because you can't always see what's coming in the other lanes. Some turnings, especially on wide roads, put the car and the pedestrians waiting to cross quite far away.

Pedestrians only had right of way if they're in the process of crossing. The new rule is that pedestrians waiting to cross have priority, which is just not practical to introduce without everyone being on the same page.

Being predictable is how you are the safest pedestrian or driver. Prior to the rule change being predictable was assuming pedestrians wait for vehicles. With the rule change, you can no longer be predictable because different people have different expections of what a pedestrian or driver will do.
Thank you for the conversation. Your style reminds me of "Theaetus" by Plato. Maybe you'd like it.
It's not. The copyright year shows when the content was first published (if a range, then when it was last modified). If the year is dynamic, then it's untrustworthy.

If I'm reading some content in the year 4023 that says (C) 2023 CM30, then I know the copyright has since expired and I'm free to do what I want with it. If it's dynamically saying (C) 4023 CM30 then it doesn't say when it was published.

If I'm publishing something in 2019 with a dynamic date, and it says (C) 2023 and by astonishing coincidence it's very similar to another piece of work by another author that has a static date and it says (C) 2021, it appears that my work post-dates their work rather than pre-dates it.

Mostly this matters much less now and there's other ways of proving publication date but in older media it mattered more.

Yeah I think if manufacturers do a good job you don't really have to adjust the temperature often. But also it is also a learning curve for some people. My dad has a brand new F150 that he is always adjusting the temperature up and down and turning off the auto fan. It very much is the setting the thermostat higher in an attempt to heat the house faster.
It’s funny how degrees become such an issue in this environment, normally experience is fine as a substitute, but things change quick
“The reason why humidity isn’t included in cars, or most HVAC systems, is that it is not possible for most of us to attach a specific value to the humidity level.”

I would argue that humidity control is included in cars by the air-recirculation button. It’s certainly not exact control, but if you recirculate the air in winter everything will quickly get fogged up (and often vice versa in summer).

A friend of mine started working for a company a while back. He met a woman there whose job involved some very tedious tasks, manually typing things from one software into another.

Thinking he'd do her a favour, he wrote a python script to automate it, so she could spend more time on the less tedious parts of her job.

Turns out there weren't any. He had automated her entire job in 15 minutes.
I do loathe the screen, however, am I the only person to note this problem with the new car climate controls? I see this on Honda, Nissan, Acura, Toyota (that I know of):

- Set the climate control for say 70
- If it is 80 outside, the AC comes on. Great!
- If it is 69 outside, the HEAT comes on. Even if the car HVAC is off. Uh, not so great?

So you end up during the milder months in this strange battle of the AC. Even when the unit is off, the car lets in some outside air. That air passes over the coils of the system, which are primed for heat or cold depending on where the control is set. This sort of drives me nuts in the nissan (it does it the worst). The system should be off when it is off.

Back to the OP article, wow that Benz control is nutty. I had a (very) old Mercedes that was gifted to me years ago and the controls were a dream. Not one of them had words on it just symbols, and you could muscle memory them in no time. A very well thought out design. A wheel for temps and fan speed, buttons for activation. I think it might have been a total of 6 inputs. I would trade that for my Hondas sucky four touch screen buttons to turn the fan down screen any time, even if I had to pay dearly for it.
Americans rewriting history again, I see.
They could set up a test courses which are deterministic.

> and you can rebook another test asap if you're confident the only things you were failed on were hesitancy or overcorrection in response to chance events.

Yeah? How can I do that when tests are all booked pretty much everywhere for the next 4 months? If I fail I am likely waiting another 4 months before I can get another test.

The fact is that test centres have wildly different pass rates (some as high as 80% vs. some as low as 38%). That kind of variance shows that the testing is not fair.
Yes, apologies for the short sentence. You further explain what i meant. My point is that one can consider oneself to be part of the earth, a city, the universe or a small group of tech interest people who enjoy reading HN.

The only way steam is not itself a DRM is if copying installed steam files is a facsimile of everything the game needs and expects. I do not think that all "DRM-free" games in steam are excluded from making some kind of necessary system changes as part of its install process. Be that changes to registry, or the likes.

In other words, if the install process is necessary, then steam itself acts as a DRM, even for otherwise DRM free games, as you cannot easily copy the install files. Or, at least, not to my knowledge at least.
But what on earth is this measuring?

oxen push origin main # ~308.98 secs

Where does that push to? Does this benchmark really just measure how well-provisioned various different VC-funded websites currently are?

I think a proper benchmark here would be install the server parts of Oxen, Git-LFS, etc on the same machine, and then time how long it takes to commit and push the same dataset from some other machine.

Although of course given that we live in an age where people expect to upload their immense datasets to the cloud for some reason, a "proper" benchmark might not be a relevant one. I'm not sure what a really good benchmark of that would be.
