Thank you as well for those recommendations. I was looking for some lighter powered and serviceable servers.

As time goes on, for the sake of portability, it seems useful to have one appliance dedicated to the physical house, one for personal/family, and then to the extent of hobby or playing with tech, higher powered servers are useful.

I have been trying to stay with Intel 64 bit to keep things easy but will probably get dragged back towards arm and 32 bit.

This article seems to just misunderstand the proposed EU laws.

If you use ChatGPT for high-risk tasks like credit score assessment, it's on you (the company using it) to prove that you're following all fairness rules.

The law was written with GPT3 in mind, after all. So why would it break for a slightly more capable LM?
> Bank's provide this protection.

A similar problem arises under other circumstances. And yes, there are off-the-shelf solutions now, eg: https://bitwarden.com/help/emergency-access/

Technically, "I forgot the key" access is not a difficult problem to solve. And because of they have digital contracts as part of their DNA, crypto currencies provide all the tools you need to solve it even without things like Bitwarden.

You are right about there being no "banks" in one aspect though. While there are any number of solutions out there to the crypto-currency key problem and some will do a better job than a bank, there is no easy and low risk way to find the solution that works for you. Certainly nothing remotely as easy and low risk as "walk into any USA bank and open an account". The real magic of a conventional bank is not all the protections in place (who hasn't been screwed over by a bank or credit card company at some point?), it is that it is a "well understand, everybody knows about it" convention.

Jack Of Hearts: a heart-driven drum loop
I like the new look. I’ve been a huge wise user, it was the cornerstone of my finances when living abroad for a few years. I cannot imagine how much harder it would have been trying to survive on the other viable alternative at the time, HSBC or western union. Using your own banks debit card abroad for an extended amount of time is a recipe for having your accounts closed due to lack of domicile.

Nowadays, I tend to use it as my ATM card when traveling abroad since you can do the currency conversion before the transaction and be a little more certain you’re not taking out too much. The fine grained transaction limits for a large variety of card uses in the app is best in class too

Was Amazon actually the first customer for AWS (being a very early customer counts)? I've heard that they were, but I've also heard that the AWS guys designed for a different customer base first.

Like the eBay Pez story it makes sense and adds credibility for the narrative to be that Amazon was the first customer for AWS. But it feels like a very unamazon thing to do, given that so much of its customer base isn't running the kind of enterprise jobs that an Amazon scale company needs.

(Either way I imagine almost all of Amazon does run on AWS these days and I'm sure the transition took a long time)

As someone who speak chinese and use weibo (china's twitter) daily, i can confidently tell you the above is false. Most chinese people have associated 'democracy' as a very very negative word that will destroy their country (credit to CCP ). When they hear 'democracy', the emotions and thoughts that are brought up is probably similar to you hearing 'communisum' or 'Nazism'. Their mind has been polluted to believe that 'democracy' will only bring chaos and ruins and is a western conspiracy to destroy china

While I do agree with your general point your analogies are bad because yes, you can test drive a car, yes attorneys often have a first free session with potential clients.

That being said the come back makes perfect sense to me. When I was still on the IC track and interviewing, when I was submitted to some "dumb" questions I would ask the same kind to the interviewer. So you just asked me to write this stupid algorithm? How about you whiteboard something for me now?

It was almost always met with dead silence to which I would say "well you're trying to figure out if I'm good, I want to do the same and make sure your team has good engineers".

Of course it never went anywhere since, while they had 55 minutes to grill me I was only given the last 5 for my questions.

> There is a weird trend toward over-diagnosing common life struggles as major clinical health issues requiring intervention. I think this comes from a place of good intentions, where people don’t want to miss anyone who might have a major mental health issue that will benefit from treatment. However, over-diagnosing mental health conditions and convincing kids they even common struggles are actually mental health issues that require advanced treatment techniques has the opposite effect of amplifying common struggles into something much bigger.

My subjective unprofessional opinion is that this tendency is also an over-compensation in trying to destigmatize mental illness, and to treat mental illness as illness and sufferers thereof as victims, rather than blaming them for lacking motivation or whatever unempathetic BS people used to think.

Hopefully this is a short-lived trend and things will balance somewhere a little more sensible.

> There’s a secondary phenomenon in some demographics wherein having a mental health diagnosis is perceived as providing some social advantage,

Mental illness had some degree of social gravity (not necessarily clout or advantage) when I was a teenager back in the "emo" and "scene" days of the 00s. The phenomenon has clearly evolved somewhat, but I don't think it's entirely new. What is new is its reach.

Well, Miller created Max, which back in those days was more about composition than synthesis and relied on external hardware to create sound. Another fella took Max and developed the commercial product and developed it some more. During this time home computers became good enough for realtime synthesis so Miller developed PD which combined aspects of Max with realtime audio synthesis capabilities. Max thought this was pretty great so integrated pd into Max which gave us Max/MSP, Max is Max Mathews who developed the Music(n) family of programing languages and MSP is Miller S. Puckette.

I would not say that pd or Max/MSP is more approachable, they are pretty even these days unless you stick to vanilla pd with no externals which almost no one does, the main differences is that Max/MSP gives you all you need out of the box but pd can run just about anywhere including in plugins if you are that sort. Max/MSP is considerably more modern in aesthetic but PlugData[0] and PurrData[1] offer more modern interfaces for pd with a few new tricks, PlugData is a plugin version of pd (also standalone), Purrdata is a JavaScript rewrite of the interface with prepackaged externals and solid documentation. And we have a handful of other varieties of pd each which have their own slant and can be found on puredata.info.

0: https://plugdata.org
1: https://www.purrdata.net

Edit, ok not having a dozen different varieties and hundreds of externals to choose from does make Max/MSP more approachable. I was mostly speaking from the standpoint of use but I realized all I did was say that pd is an example of a major flaw of OSS in the days of analysis paralysis.
That is the reason exporting PII to American cloud providers is illegal, yes. That's exactly what the EU is now trying to work out. This includes concessions to give European citizens certain rights when it comes to American intelligence agencies and such. That's part of the reason why companies use Irish subsidiaries to bring a point of presence into the EU (without having to bother paying too much tax); directly dealing with the American companies would be blatantly illegal.

The main reason American companies are barred from processing personal information for European consumers is that Europeans don't have the necessary rights under American law to safeguard their data. Through an executive order and other political tools, this is being changed. Once that's done, there's no legal reason why the USA can't receive a competency decision from the EU.

Various DPAs are sceptical about the work being done on the American side exactly because of the way this is implemented (executive rather than legislative branch) and the possibility that existing laws will make effective protection impossible anyway. I personally wouldn't trust the country behind the Hague Invasion Act to protect the rights of foreign citizens.
Depends on your velocity. Push steering works great when riding through a corner at speed. When turning from a stop you need to momentarily turn the opposite direction to initiate the lean.
Honestly liveview + tailwind is just so good that I don't think this is a bad decision.
I've done it for a couple of years, all traffic comes into the VPS and Wireguard immediately redirects to my home machine VM. I can take the VM down, bring it up on another machine, it calls to my VPS to the Wireguard server, establishes the tunnel and then my email and web are now going to the VM on the new home machine, or whereever in the world I want to bring that VM up. Yet, to any clients hitting my public IP (the cloud VPS), nothing has changed except for a few minutes downtime.
Parenting this is the best thing they can be doing for the consumer. Prevent other car companies from including this scummy feature. Now I just need to think "not Ford" when I go buy a car and I'm all good.
It fits pretty neatly with components in LiveView, so for the sake of the default generators it makes sense to include. It's super simple to remove it and write components however you want though.
Based on my experience (and I was doing web stuff starting in 92), this is a mistelling of the tale you're trying tell.

The problem was called "the thundering herd": if you had N threads all sleeping/waiting on a condition, and then that condition was raised/signalled, there were no OS primitives available that would wake only a single thread. Instead they all woke up, tried to get whatever work was available, only one succeeded, the rest go back to sleep. Incredible waste of cycles. These days, you can signal a condition in a way that will only wake a single thread that is waiting on it. Problem solved, for every language, without language modifications.

This was NOT fixed at the language level. It was fixed by adding new OS-level primitives that did the right thing.

Async-wait is another wrinkle in this, but for those of us old enough to remember life before pthreads, that was already effectively taken care of using threads (whatever the API) and existing OS-level sleep/wait primitives.

Doing this without threads is popular among the cool kids these days, but that's even harder than doing it with threads. Consequently, various languages have wrapped this sort of code into builtins in the language. Yes, that makes thread-less async wait easier to code, but it doesn't actually address the design problems where you might be using thread-less async wait to accomplish something.

The problem with waveform caching is not data races etc (though of course, those issues are hard enough). It's figuring out what you should cache and when. The best answers vary depending on user behavior, so you need an adaptive approach that isn't particularly linear, and you also a need way to recognize when user behavior means you should clear out everything in the cache and start over.

This is wrong.

Developers make money from developing, which they can't do in the majority of major cities due to regulations outright banning development and cost burdens that make most development unprofitable.

I gave 3 examples in one of my replies in this subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35036176
At PGConf India, one of the keynotes addressed exactly this topic. The largest stock broker firm in India had made the decision to self-host everything. The CTO made a number of points that I think are missed in this discussion and article, namely:

1. You may think you are a software company, but HR, accounting etc are just as critical to your operations as the customer product. Therefore there isn't really a distinction between core business and non-core business that people like to think, and

2. By self-hosting you ensure you learn the technology and can therefore respond to problems yourself. In an environment where businesses are increasingly on the hook for defects in their services to the end user, that's a good thing.

Obviously hiring knowledgeable people is probably the bottleneck but it is still a cost saver and it is important to create an organizational culture where people can learn the technology on the job.
Seems like you're the one that is showing signs of 'derangement' and episodes of 'madness'. I'm just laughing at you and also at the ones that still continue to rely on a service that evidently goes down each month with the solution given to them, years ago.

> ok? and who in THIS THREAD is saying anything remotely like that?

Whatever someone said about exactly “all in on github” verbaitim is a 'minute detail' you decided to focus on to deliberately miss the forrest for the trees and to make an excuse for an argument. I also include using any of GitHub's services, which as the evidence suggests is beyond poor and comes with folks here complaining about them. Especially GitHub Actions.

So you attempting to narrow the scope to who said what verbaitim from the start is essentially missing the wider point. In fact, it is a distraction, derailing the general and entire point of GitHub's years of unreliability.

> who are you responding to??!?? comments makes no sense, derangement!!!

So far, you for showing yourself as a prime example fitting the definition of 'derangement' and to everyone else who is complaining about GitHub going down despite its track record, assuming you have read the links. There's no need for you to continue embarrassing yourself here and in your next reply, since you continue screaming and 'shouting' in caps-lock whilst attempting to put forward distractions that fails to address the main issue of GitHub's history of downtime and incidents.
This is first for me. Never thought same object could be lensed multiple times and with different state. Amazing!!!
First couple of words it converted to normalized forms, which I guess was intended to make the game easier? The third word I tried ("restlessnesses") it just said it doesn't know at all.
The irony is that I have some regrets pushing to move my family to Signal (mostly away from Facebook Messenger and SMS) while I've pondered a dumbphone or a Linux phone due to SIM card+Android/iOS primary device required. On this note though, it seems WhatsApp has pulled out on the upgrade to KaiOS 3.x which hurts accessibility to some folks.

We're not in an ideal spot and self-hosting is more complicated than it should be. That said, there still are options to join public Matrix and XMPP servers that cover the all the above features and would be accessible even on smaller mobile platforms like KaiOS, Capyloon, and all Linuxes.

But also… what if Apple converted iMessage to use one of those open protocols (like the reverse of how Google and Facebook's chats were XMPP until they decided there's more to gain making it proprietary after scaling with FOSS)? Sure tim@imessage.apple.corp would still give them a 'vanity' URL like the color of a message bubble, but at least everyone could participate and have all the same features on a technical level.
'sparse' is now the default protocol for crates.io

Is the norm really that home loans are unaffordable even to first-time-buyer DINKs with good-to-decent six figure jobs who just want a place to live? (not an investment property) Currently the mortgage rates are the highest ever since 1989.

Have you personally already purchased your first home? Without family assistance, it would be absolutely brutal and untenable for my children to enter into in this domain at present.

The people at the bottom are getting a remarkably harsh and bad deal these days, even in instances where they have been exceedingly fiscally responsible their entire life. Is this the future the youngsters deserve? My kids are still solidly upper middle class, imagine what this translates to for the lower end of socio economic status.

This seems severely suboptimal. At what point is a serious systemic correction warranted? What is the current generation supposed to tell their children? At some point people's motivation to participate in the system and play by the rules will be negatively impacted. What happens then?

For the small startups, who don't have time for BS like leetcode, I advise asking the candidate's code first of all.
The senior-level developer almost definitely should have GitHub with his portfolio- or pet-projects. After carefully looking through his code, it becomes 100% clear do we want to talk to him or not. After that we usually had one interview, something like system design + soft-skills. Subjectively, I recall the hiring experience as very successful compared to what I experienced interviewing people for major tech companies according to their guidelines.
