That's not how cells work though. Cells don't know people in other cells. Well maybe one or two people do. Sure an internal beef can happen but the people in the cell are mostly still responsible for themselves not the others in the cell.

Think of a cell like a class in programming. If a class has a bug you can fix the bug, or make a new class with the same ins and outs. Never have to restructure the entire code base. Properly made classes don't leak to other ones. Worst case internal beefs take down prod for a bit but they don't take down the entire program
For best results, set your DRY dial to 8 or 9 out of 10. Settings higher than 9 result in premature or excessive abstraction.

But if you hate DRY so much, imagine a word where people set it to 1 or 2. I wouldn’t want to work in that code base.
Idea is usually 1% and execution is 99%. I have learned that the hard way, so I am not sure if emphasizing the 1% is the way to go. Take Google for example - the idea to provide search based on keywords with some ranking is very simple, execution not so much.
argon2i is a strict improvement over PBKDF2, but sadly grub2 doesn't support any argon2 KDFs right now.
If that's meant seriously rather than as a joke: I think you're misunderstanding. They aren't saying "porn sites don't care about code quality", they're making a pun on the word "dirty".
I use and try multiple operating systems at work: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, tried ChromeOS Flex, etc.

Windows 11 doesn't pass basic UX principles and I would not rant about bluetooth devices handling. Also, the performance of the UI is subpar ChromeOS flex in 8 years old notebooks.

There are multiple UIs inserted by pressure in the same OS. I know the kernel itself is quite advanced, the problem is at higher layers.

BTW, love .NET and the Linux susbsystem.
Tune out of TV/radio news and stop reading newspapers (be it online or paper form), life becomes several orders of magnitudes more enjoyable.

Journalism ("full volume fear porn") isn't worth giving any of your precious time and energy to.
I live far remotely in a big house and can confirm. Things that came naturally to me:

- Way more time in and with nature

- New hobbies, lot of space to try things

- Plenty of tools. My 'Makerspace' is what takes up most of my house at this point
You have a world where women are expected to sacrifice early marriage and child-rearing for their careers and the cost of living is so high that even people in the higher earning brackets are reluctant to have children early,
then population becomes a problem.

Dear pretentious narcissistic elites, if you feel the world population is collapsing pay your staff better wages and increase the stock of available housing, something which the so called developed world is extremely loth to do.
I loved VMS on my VAX days, is this suitable for server deployement instead of Linux?

Eh, I don’t even know anything about his politics but I read his Clean Architecture and I saw immediately what a hot pile of garbage it is. The book is full of platitudes, the author is so conceited that he cites his other works to justify his statements, and he’s far more concerned about being immortalized or revered in the industry for his coinages of principles, than by coming up with a mechanistic model of what makes a good computer program and ways of measuring that quality.
You need to start at a higher level - before asking what features are missing, ask what problem Mastadon is solving. I haven't joined because I don't have an problem that it solves.
Totally agreed. I've tried explain exactly this issue in a talk [1], trying to find a useful synthesis between different paradigms like KISS, DRY and YAGNI.

It's a bit of an awkward protrusion to thrust into an article that's aimed at general tech audiences.

And I did wonder, reading that: IS there actually a dirty coding language for porn sites?

Certainly the simplest of erections in that area could arouse some latent skill. Contributions would likely be furious.

Though some annoying friction is perhaps practically guaranteed, depending on which executive discovers, in which way, which particular feature set of their corporate software project was conceived...
In the UK you would barely even have neighbours if that were the case, it would be properly rural, US 'suburban sprawl' needs a different word IMO, it's a housing estate basically (though that implies social housing) but a spectacularly isolated/car-assuming one.
That'll work too.
Correct Human-readable Idiomatic Performant
Interesting article;

I kind of want to ask a question here since I'm likely to run into my betters on this topic. How does macOS / Windows 11 / Linux stack up to each other in terms of full-disk encryption?

What's the simplest approach to ensuring that my data isn't as easily decrypted, and to protect myself? (I'm aware of other vectors like via Internet/browsing, etc, but I'm concerned also about the physical security of my data).

Is macOS disk encryption pretty good all things considering? I see Windows 11 requires a compatible configuration to enable it for Home edition, or a Pro license. (Why?)

I've setup LUKS, created my keyphrases and all of that before on Fedora. But I'll be honest, I don't know how effective the defaults are and whether I'm doing the correct thing. I also worried about losing access to my data if the disk or LUKS volume became corrupted.

Any advice or tips for me?
Banks can not borrow from the Fed arbitrarily. If people take their money elsewhere en masse, the banks fail. That is what happened to SV bank, for the same reason. If anything, you can argue the Fed can save all the banks, which is true, but undesirable.
I'm a loner, always wondered what are friends talking about when meeting? Looks like 1) exchanging news, some useful information 2) emotional support, bragging and getting cheered 3) shi!!ing on mutual enemies/outsiders. Did I catch the essence?
How is this worse than Apple's App Store outright displaying ads?
Ah but idioms change as languages evolve. To me idiomatic is ‘the way it’s done now’ rather than ‘the way it’s always been done’
Maybe... the need to have a map with some additional set of accessors and/or utility functions around it ?

If you look at the code; it's literally just a map with some function around it. If you end up in a situation where you feel the need to wrap a map with some function to handle some typical needs (eg: access a random key; manage a ttl/expire for a key; ...) you might as well be using this.

The fact that the name of the functions have been taken from redis means that if/when you move to an external KV store, the transition will be trivial. It also means you don't really need to learn it if you already know redis.

I don't see becoming the #1 library on npm; with conferences and speakers debating the intricacies of its architecture. But hey it might solve someones need.

Not trying to start an argument because I think your statements are mostly correct. I do think you can have autonomous actors inside of cell systems that can compose an entire cell. Especially at the lowest levels.

Cell systems have order, but only where the most risk is imposed. Lesser risk, less order. Infact, too much order imposes far more risk.
IT administrators must possess minimal leadership skill capacities to take advantage of such assets.

- written (email, chat) and spoken (as appropriate) decisive communications

- pragmatic expectations

- functional social/professional skills

That said, “how could” might look like…

- routines (backup rotations, random verifications)

- research and report (trending solutions for pros cons and relevance)

- staging (dev or prod rebuild)

- support (answering emails, phones, early stage investigations)

Finding something to do is not difficult, continuity is the challenge.
It's artificial and makes intelligent decisions, so yes? Even the switch statement was AI before you replaced it.

The definition of an intelligent decision appears as such: A choice or conclusion made after carefully considering various factors, options, and potential outcomes.

If those conclusions are made ahead of time and baked it, does it make any real difference if nobody can tell from the outside? I think not. It's safe to say there's a lot of intelligent decisions in any software in existence.

Wait, it's all AI?

Always has been.

What OP's probably really trying to say is they don't want to use black box AI of sufficient complexity that nobody alive knows how any of it works. That's the only real hard distinction I guess?
Except large suburbs go back over 70 years and the loss of community is a much more recent thing.
> So, while readability isn't quite as important as correctness, it's more important than anything else.

In most cases, readability is more important than correctness. If you have readable code, you can always make it work correctly later. But if you have code that merely works correctly, it isn't necessarily easy to back and make it more readable.
you are not going to solve the problem that the meaning of "clean code" is vague and subjective by introducing a new set of terminology that is also vague and subjective

“Three weeks ago”

So uh… that’s total BS, unless there’s more history to it than is obvious.
Unless you personally host it yourself, that's maybe true.

If someone else in your company hosts it, they are only bound by contracts. You can also use contracts to bind other companies, when you aren't self-hosting.
Gentle reminder that industry leaders could be wrong too, and domain-specific knowledge, even if gained from experience, may not necessarily be universal truths especially in platforms that may follow different patterns or paradigms. Programmers really should be more discerning about the people whom they are looking up to.

This is why bolting on a "friends" feature on a dating app wouldnt work. It must be a solely dedicated place with explicit purpose of making friends based on interests to remove the anxiety of "What would they think if I said this?"
Windows 11 arguably looks better than Monterey. Please don't tell me closing windows on top left is a good UX decision and also don't tell me that Mac's weird 2.5D icons look good. Apple's software design language is actually terrible. Of course that can't be said about the hardware - that's world class.

>I find it hard to believe that there’s some agenda against friends out there

Freedom of assembly / association is not something that's neutral, politically. In certain regimes, it has been explicitly banned to gather in groups. It others, it has been recognized as an essential human right, and law has been made to recognize this.

So if you take this into account, there could very well be an agenda. But I don't think so either - I think isolation is just a byproduct currently. But I also think that it's a still a useful one - isolated people are easier to control, and unhappiness drives business.
Sigh

I watched a colleague once spend half an hour to get a classroom PC booted, mirrored to the projector, calibrated to the interactive whiteboard and a presentation converted to the whiteboard software.

Endless reboots, popups about out of date software, error messages, popups from the system tray that had to be clicked on, popups from Powerpoint....

So over that 30 years we are talking how many lifetimes wasted?
This is how I was using Twitter as well, as a network of people sharing interesting and often niche content (which is why algorithmic timelines are useless to me because the human curation was the entire value).
> How do you find the time to go through it all?

I'm not consistent with it. I just check it occasionally. For people I'm particularly interested in (and who don't post that often!), I'll go to their profile and scroll down that separately to if there's anything I've missed. For others, if I didn't see it then that's ok.

> A lot of open source developers also post about other topics like their cats, dogs and favorite types of bread.

I just don't follow (or later unfollow) anyone who does this.
Furthermore, people also use tools like an abacus, without any detriment to their intelligence.

Yup, this describes NYC pretty well.
If you are in the HN crowd, and moved to a hood you consider desirable with a good commute to where our offices are..

You can have friends nearby if you make them after you move in and are happy with a social circle comprised of people almost entirely in the same field, with a few trust funders mixed in.

If you live in an older hood like UWS/UES there will also be some old timers mixed in who bought/secured a lease in the 80s~90s and maybe from other fields. Or more often than not, they are lawyers and doctors or other high paying but not-quite banking/consulting/software.

Growing up outside the city, my friends dads were, in no particular order - teacher, principal, engineer, auto mechanic, IT, roofer, etc.
It's not easy to like windows actually, for the most part, things do what they say on the tin, aka "close" really closes a program/window, unlike Mac. There you need to do that weird right click dance to really close something. The whole thing just feels super dumbed down.
You can add non steam games to steam and use proton that way
The point (which I don't 100% agree with, but can see) is that what it means to "only do one thing" is sometimes debatable.

Say I write a 1000-line method that implements a red-black tree data structure, including returning closures that allow you to search for, add, or remove nodes. I could claim that this method does precisely one thing: it implements a red-black tree.

Or, say I write a ten-line method that takes a list of names and returns the unique names ordered alphabetically. Someone could complain that the method does too much, because it both finds unique names and sorts them alphabetically.
I _love_ OpenWrt! I run Adblock and Wireguard on OpenWrt. I also recommend using Attended Sysupgrade to keep the system updated to the latest version.
All mask rules should have been lifted the second the vaccine was available without a wait. But the government kept it for another year. Of course we pushed back on that nonsense. Of course we don't trust those government people.
Plan the revolution and then postpone it because sadly we got too drunk.
Compared to the last few years, it was not a mild winter. Colder than usual even (I mean I had to wear a coat in early December, when I was in t-shirts around Christmas in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and it's still cold in mid-April) but we haven't had a polar vortex that would have put significant stress on the grid
And if they do that they will really be putting to bed that openai is not so open won't they and have strayed far from their founding goals. But I don't believe they will do this. Lots of good people at OpenAI who I think can/will stand up to any money lords who've come into the place.
NT3.5 was noticeably different to Win3.11 because dragging windows dragged the contents; on Win3.11, you got an XOR stipple outline indicating where the window was going to end up.

NT4 ran very well on 64MB. I used it as a daily driver shortly before switching to Win2k. I never ran Windows ME, I went from 95->98->NT4->Win2k->XP. NT4 correlated with me going all in on Win32 API programming.

The biggest slowness for start menu popup back then was disk. Random access loading icons for the entries, I suspect. Things would be faster the second time around. Disk was the general direct reason for slowness in usual use. Insufficient memory -> paging -> more slow disk accesses.

Context menus would be slow (and still are) if you had badly written shell extensions installed. Getting rid of those (sometimes requiring registry edits if you wanted to keep the related app) made a big difference.

Those were the days when you'd generally want to upgrade your PC every year, or at least every couple of years, if you wanted to be able to continue running the latest software.
I used to love topics like this, just as I vigorously defended the construction of roundabouts.

Now I have a roundabout right in front of my child's daycare. Due to the traffic rules surrounding that roundabout (Germany), it'll be impossible for him to cross that safely without me being very hands-on.

All these systems are completely made to get another 2 % of efficiency for cars, while massively sacrificing walkability and bikeability. I am not a fan anymore.
Python Booleans:Leveraging the Values of Truth
All of my adult friends are from previous jobs. And I mean - friends. We have Slack channels and grab drinks and lunches once in a while to catch up. We visit each other's big life events.

You can't just bond with someone over work - you need to regularly grab after-office drinks, open up and develop trust. And when you are older and busier - bonding over food is also effective.
You're being cynical for no good reason. Everything we've done has been put out under Apache 2 or MIT license. We take the 4 all seriously. See here for proof: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all-chat/issues/62#issue-167...
It'd be great if somebody with knowledge about this could make a benchmark comparing the performance after using this program versus using the standard tools like dd, mkfs, etc., using different parameters for things like the alignment (if that's possible at all using that tools).
Ehh, I recently switched to Linux for good.

Couldn't be happier about the move. No paper cuts at all. Honestly, Linux has never been better.
Yes I run an init system that starts multiple processes and services. All in a Docker container.

I would be very keen to understand why LXC is better than Docker for this. I've also read this kind of "marketing" around so called "operating system containers" but I am still clueless why they are better. Concretely, what are the benefits?
Agreed that cheap "trickle" chargers with unregulated voltage can cause overcharging if left on for too long (days to weeks on larger batteries, as their current is usually under 1A)

Better to invest in a "float" charger with a regulated output and automatic shutoff. As with many subjects, if you go the cheapest route you pay with time or safety risk.

I lived on 2nd Ave NYC for a while which matched your observations on interacting with neighbours. However there's an interesting urbanist video [1] that suggests that even in a higher density neighbourhood with appartment buildings, the amount of traffic on the road affects both how many friends you have and how much you socialise with neighbours in your building. Ie in a car lite environment, everyone is friendlier.

According to a post on the VSI forum from one of their staff, there are about 1,300 people registered fro the hobbyist license. There are dozens of us... dozens!
I’d love to play with and explore this code. Please put a license on it.

Code without a license should be assumed toxic and if you’re paranoid (like me) shouldn’t be read.

This sort of thing feels like a good Apache or MIT fit.
It's a reasonable common idiom with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

(Btw, you've been shadowbanned a while ago. I'm only mentioning this, because your recent comments seem sane as far as I can tell.)
Sharma made incendiary comments on live television. Zubair and many other people called her out for her comments, and in response, her political party (the BJP) expelled her from her position as national spokesperson. She was not "lynched".

When a politician chooses to make incendiary comments that are then met with anger from the public, that politician has nobody to blame but herself for the negative response.
Not even an aside. It actively makes this project uninteresting for anyone who doesn't like to use discord.

Valuable information for me
America’s Educational Superpower Is Fading
I would say, our modern controlled democracy can’t solve any problem. Why “controlled”? Because only professional conmen backed by some shady organizations can enter the voting list with real election change. I know tons really smart and good hearted people. I can guarantee, their work would be very beneficial for whole society. And yet no one of them gets elected somewhere. Democracy being complete scam is also being promoted as a single true government form. It’s actually worse than communism. There is same ruling class, same corruption and also nobody is responsive for anything. Best case something is being planned until next election and NO big project is being touched. That’s how one ends building 40 years 6 mile long train track. Democracy must be replaced with something working. Maybe with real direct democracy where everybody could vote using some app.

Seeing this headline I'm not actually sure my OpenWRT router/WiFi AP has been upgraded since I installed it in late 2015. I haven't really thought about it at all, actually. I think that counts as praise?

EDIT: ... turns out I was on a 2019 version. I just upgraded it from the web interface, completely painless experience. 10/10!
