"Going off the rails" isn't an indication that Rails is bad, as much as a claim that it can't fit the needs of a company with either splitting to other technologies ("We use other technologies where appropriate") or painting outside of the Rails lines.
OP means they want to do so at least semi-anonymously
> Are you saying that if we got rid of all gas burning appliances in homes, that would not have much effect on climate change?

Yes. (Also, I welcome strong evidence to the contrary.)

HN is full of people with side hustles and hobby computing projects, some of which are pretty interesting.

But it's really OK to do other things after work, especially things that you enjoy.

Even computers are good for a lot of things other than software development. Games, for example. ;-)
If you can’t deal with a one-character typo in a comment, then ChatGPT certainly has you beat. The bot paranoia is the icing on the cake.

Calling this an “internal process” that’s none of your concern, a much more egregious wilful misrepresentation of this situation. There is a situation or phenomenon of human behaviour, this is how the healthcare system deals with it.

Who are you as presumably some software person to come in telling them to knock the gate down without understanding why it was put there in the first place? God knows you’d hate it if someone did that to you in your area of expertise. I understand that the proliferation of VC-backed money-losing companies which parachute clueless software people into other domains have given developers an undue sense of transferable expertise, but perhaps exercise some self-awareness.
i don't follow your argument on #2.

i also dont understand why we can't have legislation that says "you can only have a stove cooktop if its properly vented"..

In the winter, when i lose electricity, i can run my house on a small amount of power because i have natural gas heat, cooktop, clothes dryer, and two natural gas fireplaces. I'm not particularly interested in giving up that safety or luxury.
Looks like this was made by a team in Zürich, which is mostly German, so I imagine it came to them fairly naturally, and who doesn't want to pick cool names for hackathon projects.

Is it really useful to be pedantic about it? It's a useful term at this point because people in the community know what it means, no?
I wrote it after reading several articles on Microsoft's docs page which are all stories of developers moving from Mac to Windows. All of those stories boiled down to: "WSL makes it easier to have the same development workflow on the PC as on a mac". I felt this was short-changing a lot of the other features of windows that I like and wanted to point those out and make the point that windows is, I believe, a good development platform even without WSL.

Also, many people here are saying "yes, I know all about powershell and the terminal and path variables, this is all obvious", but my experience IRL with developers who use macbooks is that they haven't touched windows since maybe 7 and literally did not know anything about the various features here. So if the information here is unconvincing, thats fine. If its not news to you, then you're probably not the kind of person I'm talking about

> Hopefully things swing away from the fascination with "purebred" before those breeds see further declines.

Those destructive breeding practices are shameful. How people can profess to be dog lovers and do such things is beyond my ken.
The joke was that this is already the reality. If it is a letter, a text message or a friendly boss changes nothing to the fact. One cant pay bills with politeness. It might actually be hilarious in how clearly defined it is in advance! If you are rarely late no one will complaint when it happens, if there is a lack of resumes posted you can be late every day and if it is less than 15 min its never an issue. The option to call the employer is still there. Remember when I said I wasn't going to make it in time today? Well, the doorbell fired me.

Honesty Meter – AI powered media bias and manipulations detection
Honestymeter is a new free open source tool for bias detection and correction, and objectivity evaluation in media content. It gives an objectivity score, finds manipulation technics used and suggests changes to reduce the bias and make the content more objective.
Speaking of interaction with the admin. Back in the days when I was in school, the computer lab ran a Honeywell mainframe with terminals. I wrote a program emulating the logon screen to intercept the username and password of the unsuspecting students logging on and to email them to me. I was going to post the list of all the usernames and passwords at the end of the semester on the wall. I dubbed it the Fishing project with my friends (yes, that's before all the phishing activities went rampant).

I collected dozens of usernames and passwords before the professor of my CS class stopped me one day after class and said, you better stop whatever you're doing. Apparently the system saved the typing of all sessions and the admin actually went through all of them.

The next semester all the terminals had a physical switch installed that had to be pressed to reset the terminal before logon. That killed any running program. I was glad to play a small part in improving the security of my school lab.
I don’t think you understand Senssenmann fully based on this post. At Google basically everything in use has a Bazel-like build target. This means the code base is effectively a directed “forest”/tree-like data structure with recognizable sources and sink. If you can trace through the tree and find included-but-not-used code by analyzing build targets, you can safely delete it. There are even systems (though not covering everything) that sample binaries’ function usage you could double check against.

> why the code exists in the first place

If the code is unreachable it’s at best a “possibly will be used in the future” and most likely simply something that was used but not deleted when it’s last use was removed (or a YAGNI liability).

If you can find a piece of code included in build targets but unreachable in all of them, it’s typically safe to delete. And it’s not done without permission generally, automation will send the change to a team member to double check it’s ok to delete/nobody is going to start using it soon.
Low predisposition to genetic diseases, good immune system / don't get sick often, not having many/any allergies, being rather smart is at least a decent signal to having any genetic portion of intelligence.

That’s the thing. These are personal choices and preferences make. Taller trait is an appearance prefered. Might as well also select blond hair green eyes.
>I think tying a review to your google account is also good, because anonymity on the internet is generally used by people to say things they wouldn't say in the real world, often in harmful ways.

You're not wrong, but this is also the argument politicians use to strip you of your privacy on behalf of corporations
Just read a BI article about a few close calls over the course of the Cold War. Three of them were during the Cuban Missile Crisis alone. At least four armageddons were averted because people did not believe a first strike had been launched, despite what the computers were declaring, and Stanislav Petrov deliberately ignored protocol in his case. We have survived in spite of ourselves, and a couple of times we have survived because people at key steps in the algorithm chose not to follow it to the end.

Perhaps this illustrates your point about rogue agents. It also illustrates that computers and algorithms could have doomed us without human input, and so any AI capable of making such a decision also needs human input.

To be fair, the playbook does warn about this as well:

> They are decisive, which is hard when you’re running a startup—you will get a lot of conflicting advice, both because there are multiple ways to do things and because there’s a lot of bad advice out there. Great founders listen to all of the advice and then quickly make their own decisions.

The rule of thumb I follow is that if you're not sure what to do, follow whatever mainstream advice is out there. But if you're feeling confident that you should do X, then just do X and don't bother listening to anyone else

SMS/MMS is still (sadly) quite common in the US and on iPhones that means using the built-in Messages app. So if you want a non-SMS/MMS that's also widely used in the US you get it "for free" by using iMessages from the same application if you're an iPhone user. And this chat also works with your non-iPhone contacts because it switches to SMS/MMS for them.

For whatever reason WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and others never won out on Android in the US so the Android users didn't bring along their iPhone using network to those clients either (in bulk).

Google of course has lost out because of their own foolishness: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/a-decade-and-a-half-...

Soup?

At a restaurant supply house, get a good
16 quart pot, heavy stainless steel with a
3-layer bottom and a lid.

Get ~1 kg of red potatoes, rinse, dry, cut
into bite-sized pieces, place in a large
cast iron frying pan, add ~1 cup olive
oil. Add some pepper. Toss, place
uncovered in 450 F oven for 40 minutes,
toss, cook another 20 minutes, drain the
oil, place the cooked potatoes in the pot.

Make dice from ~1500 kg of yellow globe
onions, place in the cast iron pan, add
the oil (should be ~1 cup), place over
medium heat, occasionally stir.

When the onions have given up much of
their water as steam and started to brown,
drain out the oil and add the cooked
onions to the pot.

Add ~1 kg celery.

Add ~500 g of the white part of some
leeks.

Add ~30 ounces of carrots (thus,
completing the trilogy), peas, green
beans, corn, all canned, with their
liquid.

Add 4 pounds (two packages, each 2 pounds)
of Walmart's frozen peas carrots, beans,
and corn or 5 pounds of Bird's Eye's
version.

Add ~500 kg of green cabbage, cut to
eating size.

Add two cans of crushed tomatoes, about
794 g per can.

Add

1 cup parsley

1/2 cup Thyme

1/2 cup Basil

1/2 cup minced garlic

1/2 cup Chicken Base

Stir the pot.

Might add ~1 or 2 quarts of water.

Add cover.

Over medium heat, with occasional stirring
to make the temperature relatively
uniform, bring to ~200 F.

Done. Now have ~14 quarts of soup. If
need to freeze the soup, use 2 quart
plastic containers. The soup freezes
well. About 20 ounces make a filling meal
and has about ~250 C.

For eating 20 ounces, maybe add some salt,
Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (say,
20 g of each). Might serve with toast,
and dip the toast in the soup.
Yes, the nice thing about blaze/bazel + sensenmann is that you can very accurately say "this code was not built into a binary that has run in the past 6 months".

Sometimes you still want it (e.g. python scripts that are used every once in a while for ad-hoc things and might go months between uses), but usually the right thing to do is productionize stuff like that slightly more (and also test it semi-regularly to make sure it hasn't broken).

Well, if does anything other than copying the input verbatim or producing nonsense, it has to parse the language, which in itself uses abstract concepts, understand the purpose of the API and what it does, and then apply it in a a new context, so I would say it’s using abstract concepts in many hidden ways that we humans take for granted because that’s what our brains are built to do.
Well, from that perspective, what isn't a military thing?

The internet is a communication to survive nuclear war. Forklifts and pallets were to simplify military logistics. The highway system is to provide point to point connections without risking losing a railway. Cell phones are kinda private, but a lot of the components came from special hardware for the military.

I'm sure there's lots of neat tech we use everyday that isn't rooted in military funding, I just can't think of any at the moment.

Please don't promote falsehoods. Texas power outage wasn't due to wind turbines. It was due to gas plants freezing and being unable to operate. Of course Gov. Abbot decides to blame green energy when that's literally what prevented even more blackouts. [1]

"Power equipment in Texas was not winterized, leaving it vulnerable to extended periods of cold weather.[44][45] Natural gas power generating facilities had equipment freeze up and faced shortages of fuel. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and some other politicians initially said renewable energy sources were the cause for the power outages, citing frozen wind turbines as an example of their unreliability.[46] Viral images of a helicopter de-icing a wind turbine said to be in Texas were actually taken in 2015 in Sweden.[47] However, wind energy accounts for only 23% of Texas power output;[47] moreover, equipment for other energy sources such as natural gas power generating facilities either freezing up or having mechanical failures were also responsible.[46] "

The thing about scripting in bash is that it builds on top of all the other CLI things that you've done or tend to do. What you do on the CLI can easily be automated via scripting in bash.

But if you never ever use the CLI, then scripting in bash is going to be more alien to you.
What a ridiculous step backwards
I was wondering about the "sweetspot" of laptops to use with Linux and doah, of course, it's because the community has had a chance to update the drivers and make sure things work.

Which dovetails into my curiousity of Linux computer makers selling hardware well matched to Linux and make sure Linux works out of the box vs using a new Windows PC. I wondered why it would make a difference and this also explains that.

Thanks for the explanation.
This really has nothing to do with cloud and is more of an "all eggs in one basket" problem. I wish people would stop painting cloud itself as less capable.

The fact is, most cloud providers offer multiple regions, which have the capability of giving you more geographic redundancy than most companies that operate in their own datacenters have.

Whether you choose to adopt a multi-region or multi-datacenter architecture is really orthogonal to whether you choose cloud or on-prem.
Social media communities really ought to observe a "leave no trace" rule with respect to GitHub and other such spaces. This commit from February 2022 is now as of today littered with a bunch of joke comments from being linked from here and previously somewhere else earlier (based on timestamps).
Its not as popular to distribute projects as source on windows, but ive personally built a dozen or so libs and dependencies from cmake into msbuild/visual studio SLN files, so it actually does happen because I've found that Linux devs don't tend to distribute precompiled binaries at all. I think this trend it changing now though because I see a lot of github projects releasing binaries for a lot of different platforms in the releases section.
I’d say keep quiet and even join them in their incessant whining, meanwhile building your skills. Use this advantage.

We use GitLab in the company I work for. There may be repositories created by others in the company, that depend on repos I work on, where I don’t have access to said other repos. So to me these are invisible. If everything was in one monorepo, it’d all be visible to me easily.

Except they already do this? Since iOS 15, Siri has used on-device recognition. That's why you can go into Airplane mode and do things like ask Siri to change the brightness.
That's a great question!

I like to think of these models as the best of both worlds between handwritten rules and black-box models like DNNs. You get the control and user defined logic of handwritten rules through shape constraints, and the predictive power and flexibility of a black-box model through standard ML training techniques.

I think your description best fits the Calibrated Linear model, which is essentially a regression model with user defined logic/rules/constraints. But Calibrated Lattice and Calibrated Lattice Ensemble models are what we call "universal approximators" (just like DNNs), so you can approximate far more complex functions than simple regression.

This thread inspired me to pull out the display and finally tinker with it - and then I realized how expensive the APIs are for this data - especially if trying to do a "constant updating" style approach like you'd want for this idea.

It makes sense you listen for the sound of a plane / wait for a button press before making the call!

Seems like this would be best done with a receiver and monitoring that directly and/or exchanging the radio logging for API access.
Sorry, but this feels like a total non sequitir. Serverless or FaaS is pretty mature now. People get the concept, businesses understand the savings, and the services and tooling are stable. We don't talk about it because it's boring.
It's starting to feel like government "solutions" are aggressively targeting freedoms (for lack of a better word) with the fewest, least-organized defenders rather than any consideration for actual impact.

For example, here in Canada, we recently banned a wide range of window blinds including the very popular top-down bottom-up style (a personal favourite). Why? To save the kids of course. One Canadian child a year was killed, on average, over 30 years.[0] So it's a performative win and, let's be honest, who's going to defend our right to buy and install blinds?

Ask HN: Is anyone using Stratis storage in Linux?
In 2017 Red Hat announced that it gave up on Btrfs and announced a new project, Stratis, that would implement ZFS and Btrfs features using existing technologies such as LVM, LUKS, XFS, mdadm, etc. The idea was to give users a ZFS/Btrfs experience with existing technologies instead of writing a new filesystem.

6 years later I see little talk about it being used in the wild. Actually, I have never heard about anyone using it in their deployments.

Documentation seems spartan and a lot of the proposed features seem to have not been implemented yet.

It seems to be available only on Red Hat distros (including the clones and Fedora).

So, is there any Stratis deployment in the real world that you know of?

YouTube has introduced me to a lot more indie titles which has reinvigorated my excitement for the medium. Games like Celeste, Undertale, and the Ori series are all excellent and clearly made out of a love for gaming.

I've actually started seeing people refer to Sega as an indie publisher. IMO they've straddled this line well, with recent titles like Sonic Mania, the Yakuza series, and even their free April Fool's "prank" game (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog) getting universal praise.
This is so annoying! Every single time I try to play downloaded music on a bad connection it stalls instead of just playing the audio I literally have stored on my device. 100% agree with you that turning on Airplane mode makes it easier to play AM on iOS.
Did you check that receipt?

It talks about one organization, the "Caeser Rodney Institute", which received a $10k grant from an organization that disperses tiny grants to all kinds of random groups, like diabetes research and the "National Foundation for Women Legislators". The CRI does many things.

These guys are such oil company shills that if you check their website you will find them directly attacking the oil industry:

https://www.caesarrodney.org/energy-updates2/Cancel-Culture-...

"The big picture is that the oil industry is investing billions in offshore wind, and the Caesar Rodney Institute (CRI) opposes their projects."

"CRI receives donations from donors who agree with our policy recommendations, including about 1% of our total donations from the oil industry."

Your article says that "400 of those residents sent a combined $50,000 in donations to support the opposition effort", so this one man writing letters was able to raise 5x the amount of money from random locals as from (lol) Big Oil.

The guy claimed Big Oil is spending billions and this is the best example anyone can find? This is proving the point, isn't it? It's at the scale where maybe one guy who happens to work for an oil company decides he doesn't like wind turbines in his view of the sea, and this is supposed evidence of a global conspiracy.

Now compare that to the BMGF spending over a billion dollars on climate related topics. These things are in different leagues. All the financial power here lies with the net zero lobby.
