Have you heard of the hedonic treadmill?

I believe the treadmill goes both directions. Someone who's ridden a century or run a marathon has a much different concept of what a stressful day looks like. There were always two groups of developers who seemed particularly unflappable: the cyclists, and the ex-military (I will say the ex-submariner took it too far and he was so calm he went straight into creepy). There are no guarantees here, but there are patterns. We had a particularly high maintenance manager who was trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, for instance. I wonder now what she would have been like if she weren't running. Terrifying.

I don't think that means you have to engage in endurance sports, but maybe joining a volunteer group that cleans parks or repairs wetlands would be good not just for your self esteem but also your sanity.
I wonder if it slow because of the locking, because other than that it shouldn't use much resources to run this.

Anyway I am lazy, so I would probably just use HTMX boosting:

<div hx-boost="true">
// traditional code goes here
</div>
I think this is adding unnecessary complexity. One of the reasons developers gravitate towards a framework like Alpine or HTMX is to write less JS and go back to enjoying HTML. Of course there are a lot of use cases that require custom JS scripting. But bootstrapping a project with another Go web framework and adding Alpine is also trivial. But keep going and follow your vision. I love these types of projects. Check this one out:

It's got some unique ideas.
> It's not really that so much as contiguous or nearby access is faster on NAND, just like it's faster on hard disks, so software optimized layout and access patterns can look similar for both.

I worry about the pathological cases. Imagine you have an append-only log, and you write and fsync() one byte at a time. Each time you write a byte, the entire flash block (are they still 4KB these days?) has to be erased. So you end up chewing through 4000 durability cycles on your SSD, whereas if you had waited to write an exact 4KB block, then you'd use only 1.

A hard drive is fine with this access pattern, though you'd probably be doing a lot of seeking to update fs metadata and it would be so slow that you'd come up with some other way. So maybe this pathology only exists in my mind.
You mean like GAB? Truth Social? ok.ru?
I had a friend who used to FIFO to/of one of the offshore NZ fishery Islands cos they wouldn't get out of bed for less than $300 an hour and he could make enough in 3 months to have the other 9 months off. Cost of living there is extreme, $4.50 for a bottle of milk on the mainland but $12 there. The islands economy is export based.
If you look at almost any cell phone tower site, you'll see that there is a diesel (or maybe propane or natural gas) generator for power outages.
Probably from almost going out of business because they didn't control their own platform.
It's a lot more nuanced than India hating Pakistan. Discrediting a newspaper for being Indian doesn't seem like the right approach - it's the equivalent of dismissing any and all news on Russia or China by American papers. Should the NYT or WSJ reporting on Putin and Xi be ignored for the sole idea that the US hates these countries?
The (claimed) value proposition is leveraging block/template to decompose the html page and bind its computation to browser events over a pubsub channel. Its a toolkit and not a framework so one can still use their favourite framework. The Go library isn’t doing anything earth shattering but re-implementing the aforesaid design would still need to be done in any framework.

I’m having trouble explaining why many commenters are missing the point about this guys little diatribe, but I’m going to try because I like this community.

The 10 dollar words in his work don’t impress me much, but there’s something of substance here. It’s gonzo and authentic. I like it.

I don’t live in Berlin, never have, probably never will… but I’ve visited. And I was fortunate enough to visit Berghain, Ohm, Katerblau, Tausend and the Fuck Parade. All the “cool” spots in a very short set of trips over some years. I also framed my outings in my mind as “research”, with a cheeky grin. So there’s my pedigree that aligns with the motif of a neophyte Berlin experience.

Some of these scenes are inclusive in the LBGTQ, racial, and identity sense, but exclusive in the attitude / personality sense. It’s not what you’re born with. It’s what you do with it. What a weird paradox. Inclusively exclusive.

So, look, some of you reading this don’t want to go to things like this and take drugs (you don’t have to) and let loose. Some of you do. Some of you would be welcome and you’d “get it”. And some of you wouldn’t. And Sven Marqhardt [https://www.gq.com/story/berghain-bouncer-sven-marquardt-int...] isn’t psychic but he’s good at his job. (He pretended to try to tick me off by telling me cigarettes aren’t allowed when I knew they sold them upstairs.)

And all that’s ok. The most striking part of Berlin’s music and party culture to me is the comfort with being bluntly but fairly critical. Of eachother, of music, of clothing and fashion… in order to create a time and a place for something we don’t even know what it is yet. That something has been created and then appropriated over and over again. They didn’t invite everyone to these parties for a reason, but due to the internet and their success? Here’s everyone! And there was I. But I tried my best to contribute positive vibes and make real human connections and memories. Not to just promote consumption and capitalism and some shitty clothing from SHEIN.

The author was on a mission to journal the truth. They did a good job. What positive message one could take away from this is to be comfortable in yourself and what you like and remember that art of surfeit has hunger, and such is a fun way to while away your time before you die.
I hope I can do same. Now 60 and live my training. As a teen I was a sprinter. Then left athletics out of lack of interest. I now have small kids and I have read how each hour running adds 2h to your lifetime. With small kids that was me sold. I don’t have speed anymore but have been doing 80-20 running. Lots of easy distance. I’ve never been healthier and have now a V02max over 50.
It is my relaxation. Just me and the road and watching how my body is working is a form of meditation in itself. Plan on running as long as I can and getting to a marathon this year - target is sub 4.

As I age I only worry about care for my kids. But being able to run distance also shows the kids discipline, patience, and grit.

The sports we choose as we age should be not just good for us but also those around us. It’s a virtuous cycle.

And Dag has my utmost awe and respect.
I guess we have a different understanding of the word “diameter.”

FTFA, quoted by you above: “The outer ring is about 240 astronomical units in diameter.”

Pluto’s orbit is 60-98 AU in diameter. Voyager 1, if it were orbiting the sun, would have an orbital diameter of 320 AU.
At what point do you think that the advances in age beating tech in Medicine will actually kick in? I keep seeing optimistic headlines about research in mice etc with nothing to show for it later. About 10 years ago, I remember reading about how new research would make dental cavities go away. The same with age related research.

Are there things you are aware of that actually work and are accessible?
I'm not good enough at maths to do that, maybe you could fill us in? :)
The USB C on the Magic Keyboard is for power only.
Its practically indebted servitude (to the bank) at that point isn't it?
Its locking and the state is shared. Didn’t expect a lot of interest for this or I would have built a better demo :)

> has no ambition to ever leave the continent.

There’s a lot to do on most continents.
Wherever possible it is better to use filelocks (a named file or directory) or SQLite (which deals with the arcana for you and has been both unit and battle tested).

Using file locking APIs is just a minefield of pain otherwise.
I think a Rust-influenced design would have shied away from the manual direct reference count management in the first place and resulted in a fairly different-looking API; but at a minimum I'd expect that the safe wrapper `nf_tables_activate_set` would probably have existed from the beginning, and may have been designed to transfer ownership of the `nft_set` rather than just capture a reference to it.

More generally: doing a line-by-line translation from C to Rust is never going to be the best way to make use of the capabilities Rust has that C lacks.

Shouldn't both of those be NaN? Does Erlang have a NaN?
>Yeah, let's allow (probably the US) government or some billionaires to start blotting out the sun instead of scaling back our dependence on fuels that were always pretty dreadful environmentally, socially, and politically.

The billionaires would be happy to sell everyone EVs. One of them already is. The problem is all the regular voters who demand huge gas-guzzling SUVs to drive around in. As for social effects, just look at what happens when politicians try to do the pro-environment, pro-social thing by putting in bike lanes: the voters get mad and demand they be removed and used exclusively for cars (see Calvert City, California recently).

If you want to save the planet, leaving it to American voters isn't going to work.

>People see the earth as a shared resource,

Yeah, that's why they all love their gas-guzzling SUVs.... /s
NZ dairy farming become very intensified. Less than 200 acres is not worth it I heard. The effect on our environment is not good.

Remote attestation and protecting the computer from the client's control is a frontal assault on general-purpose computing, and I'm upset to see corporations forcing it on computers. I wish the world hadn't come to this state, but I fear there's not much we can do when OS, hardware, and service companies are colluding to claw away control of hardware away from users and owners.
Naivety of believing all the lies you’ll be told about your equity (if any!) in order to justify you working 80 hours a week for a shitty pay and massive tech debt, when you could just go work at Google (or similar) and be treated like royalty while learning how to write proper software.

Source: started my career in early stage startups, now at Google. I even got lucky to have made a couple bucks from my equity (so I am a massive outlier, statistically speaking), but it still wasn’t worth it.
Wendell. Appropriate name, given the situation. Wendell Berry has written beautifully on this subject, in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Highly recommended, if you want to dive into the nuance and heartbreak.

Suffice to say the situation is complex and irreducible and does not yield to armchair quarterbacking.
No just at normalized log probabilities I think
Yes, to me too. I of course admire people who can push themselves this hard. Does the reward only come after the racing? In the memory, accomplishment? Seems like many runners are academic and high-achievers in different fields, who're able to carry out long-term projects - I wonder how these traits in career and hobby of running relate
Don't forget the training and invaluable experience they will gain (if they survive) via said meat-grinder.
Personally, I don't see anything inconsistent about being grateful for something that wasn't a deliberate act. I can see at least two reasons for doing so:

Part of expressing gratitude is for the benefit of the person expressing gratitude rather than for the person being thanked.

Even if it wasn't a deliberate act, the person being thanked may appreciate knowing that they benefited someone. Although, this wouldn't apply to plants which aren't sentient.

Friend, do you not understand that not all services are Microservices?

The article even states Microservices are not suitable for startups - the conversation in this thread has been able service oriented architectures which is a much broader topic.
The likelyhood of a decentralized constellation of low orbit satellites ever existing is next to zero, and having additional internet connectivity options can never reduce availability. Sure corporations and governments are both corruptible, but if both are available, and neither can impose on the other (I don't think Pakistan has much of a say in how SpaceX runs StarLink, and SpaceX doesn't have a say in Pakistan runs Pakistan), the existence of another option is good.
>We fought together to gain freedom and just drifted apart.

A movement propped up on the idea of a "separate nation for muslims", fought hard for and achieved with much violence and bloodshed is "just drifted apart"

Wow !
I'll give the country 10 years to implode

I am willing to take a bet for any $$ value with 10x odds in your favor to contest that claim.

more inclusive, social justice oriented, and less violent

Hot take. If you genuinely cared about these things, you'd end up a supporter of the Modi Govt.

I do not mind views that are diametrically opposite to me. But, every article in western media seems to be written by someone who is 1 degree of separation from the Indian opposition. The claims are never backed by statistics, and the infographics are often so absurd that I have to wonder if I live in an upside-down world. Apparently, India has the 150th [1] least free press in the world and India has been a country with on average 2nd highest chance of genocide [2] for the entire last decade. Dig into their data a little bit, and you realize that they either only interviewed opponents of the current govt. or used zero data what-so-ever.

Note: Modi is the world's most popular leader[3]. About 20% of Muslims and 30% of Christians voted for his 2nd term[4]. For reference, Republicans have never been able to come anywhere close to 20% of the black vote-share, and no is claiming that America will collapse when a Republican wins every alternate election.

The opinion of the average HNer on India, is as bad as a Q-anon supporter on American issues. I apologize for the somewhat angry tone I take on these threads. I do not intend to start a culture war. But when ignorance and arrogance are paired this frivolously, I can't help but respond in kind.

This is an Union minister speaking at an RSS event.

This is neither the first nor the most vicious attack on India's biggest minority that I have heard of. This kind of rhetoric just seems commonplace today.

Full disclosure: I am an Indian too, living abroad now, but voted for the Modi government in 2014.
> but based on this case, it’s obvious the person isn’t getting enough sunlight, and they communicated that to the doctor, and so why not do a trial of something like vitamin d?

Can we get to the specifics? How would you propose the doctor do it? Let's say the doctor prescribes a certain dosage per day. How will the doctor know it is helping this particular patient? How long should the trial continue before he sees results?

Most studies showing Vitamin D benefits are very long term (unless it is bone related).

Back in 2007-2009 Nividia shipped defective GPUs to everyone, including Apple.

Every MacBook Pro from that era was affected. Nvidia and Apple couldn't come to an agreement to who should pay for the bad GPUs. It cost Apple a lot of money and Nvidia din't seem to care.

After that, Apple slowly started removing Nvidia GPUs from their products. AMD also shipped bad GPU's around ~2011 and Apple went back to Nvidia for a generation or two until AMD sorted their issues out. From Then on it was AMD GPUs only until the M1.
Yay! I haven't used Thunderbird much in a few years, but I'm very glad they're still around. Last I tried it, I was able to pay for a cheap plug-in to authenticate to Outlook365 and retrieve corporate mail through Thunderbird for a Linux laptop pilot for work. Very glad people still have an alternative to the Enterprise Empire.
Is this for software engineers or actual engineers? You may want to specify.
Well I'm tired of dirtbags making dirtbag arguments in fraud/abuse cases and want people to get publicly punished for doing it instead of sweeping it under the rug.
Unlike real locks, your approach has the downside that an unexpected exit (e.g., kill -9) will stay locked until someone manually intervenes.

Back in the day when the micro-kernel/monolith flamewars were raging, the arguments for monolith were about improved performance and lower memory usage. I haven't seen much discussion on this topic for years, but at least those two arguments have not aged well.
The operative portion was the other half of the sentence.

It's never a "they're targeting a number that they believe in good faith will maximize economic activity on a national level", it's always "devaluing my existing holdings gives $boogeyman_ethnic_or_political_group an advantage" like you're somehow prohibited from investing.
> People have been predicting Pakistan will collapse since 1947

It would have. But decades of war in Afghanistan and the pouring of USD by America, disregarding the very fact that they are funding a well known and open military dictatorship, has kept the country floating.

It is in a deep cycle of debt and has no meaningful economy to speak of.
Does anybody know how Linux NFS handles new OFD-owned file locks? Are they also mapped to classic POSIX locks?

OFD-owned locks are a cross of BSD flock and POSIX fcntl/lockf locks. An original proposal is described at https://lwn.net/Articles/586904/, but the naming convention settled on OFD-owned (open file descriptor-owned) rather than file-private. I believe Linux was the first to get an implementation. They're also included in the latest POSIX/SUSv5 draft; "POSIX locks" will become ambiguous in the next year or two.
Hey. I have checked out pushup before. Its great. I guess I am taking a niche approach which not many would find useful. To clarify: What is adding more complexity? alpinejs ?

It all just comes out of the air. High temperature, high pressure, air, hydrogen, and a catalyst. Methane is just a cheaper source of hydrogen than water.

Hard to tell if this startup is really something because all you can find is articles built from press releases.

The part about transportation is mostly moot, in the Midwest the fertilizer plants are local, there was one like twenty miles away from the farm i grew up on.

Decoupling from the energy markets would be nice, but it’s doubtful anybody really wants to become a pricecutting commodity here. Farm inputs have the tendency to be as expensive as farmers can afford.
Actually over 30 million LOC
I think that sentiment is pretty naive.

Humans didn’t have such a perspective as they crossed oceans and continents, but these new spaces they explored became new spheres of competition and warfare.

My guess would be that space colonization if and when we reach that point will quickly turn into competition, rivalry, and warfare just like every other frontier in human history.

Even the first extra-terrestrial body humans set foot on was done in the context of the US-Soviet Space Race with the knowledge that the knowledge of rocketry gained in space exploration would also be useful for ICBMs.
Really insane how numb we’ve become. This would be unthinkable just a short time ago, and now I’m not even sure anyone is surprised.
Indian print media (The Indian Express is a print publication first and foremost), in my experience, has very legitimate journalism. Most of the vitriol from both sides happens on TV news, not print, and is manufactured for generating views.
Fair enough. It's true that modern drugs are fairly effective at extending the lives of patients with certain serious chronic conditions by a few years. But at the same time, ASCVD and T2D were much less serious problems prior to the establishment of modern medicine. So to a large extent we are just patching over problems that we have created for ourselves rather than fixing the root causes.
