Glad to see this lib on #1.
I have built a CLI tool called Autarky a long long time back https://github.com/pranshuchittora/autarky.

Ink is great to get bare minimums up and running, but the capabilities are quite limited and you can't build full blown interactive dashboards with this like HTOP etc.
> but I'm assuming that wasn't done here

I assumed it was done here. Why wouldn't it have been? There's no evidence of that.

> Shared data structures? Common library? Services have an API

I assumed that was what they meant: common data structures being whatever the various APIs emitted and received. You don't need more than that if you're two people shipping a full product. People aren't buying your internal architecture, and it sounded as though they built it so the code could be separated out in future if necessary.
The defaults can be a double edged sword. Places like DF put out optimized defaults for really mainstreams config for just that reason.

If you have a 3080 ti or 4090, sure, you have paid to just push play and expect stuff to work (well that still doesn't solve the compilation issues), but then you are leaving a lot of performance / fidelity on the table.

However, if you are even somewhat underpowered (think of all the people that bought 6500 xt or 3050 because of the GPU shortage), you are going to have to do some type of manual tuning. Most users according to the April Steam survey use worse than a 3060 and a large fraction of those use something way worse than a 3060.

Plus the CPU side isn't always a solved issue. I play on an 64 core epyc I primarily use for simulation. I have plenty of power on tap, but the lower clocks plus NUMA arch force me to do some fiddling. And I'm spoiled on that front, over half of gamers still play on 4 and 6 core machines (again, see the steam hardware survey for April) that chock gpus very quickly.

A 300 dollar Series S may not show the most crisp image, but I often use mine to avoid the whole song and dance.
“Over Our Dead Bodies”: Backlash Builds Against $3T Clean Energy Push
It would be a lot better if you could just search an index of all the words on the web, and then we can refine our queries against the results to narrow things down even more. As it is right now, search just doesn't work anymore.
The only coin mentioned by name is XRP.
Ah, yes, lets add exclusive flock support to all binaries in the existence, just in case.

You are confusing running a process with running a task from scheduler.
Don't forget that a single certificate is used to sign multiple JWTs. Revoking a certificate (let alone communicating it) will revoke all signed JWTs, not just the specific user's.
The writers say it’s down in the ways that matter to them. And since they’re the ones who create and drive popular culture this piece is mostly twirling on the head of a pin.
There's nothing wrong with CLIs. Emulating the idiocy of HTML in the terminal window is... suboptimal.

(n)curses isn't great, but the joy of ncurses is it's so bad you know you need to replace it (or more likely layer something on top of it.)

Starfyre – a toolkit for developing front-end applications using only Python
It's sort of impressive, but feels like it'd take more time to figure out than to make your app work using the "raw" nodejs tty and readline APIs.
Thing is, a leader needs followers. But if the very existence of a leader is secret, as well as his identity, doesn't that make it rather hard for the sheep to know who to follow?
In all fairness, I'm not sure a population that includes everyone who has ever written a script and sent it to a studio is a useful study point for most purposes. (I think we know the answer. Very few make it in any reasonable way.) But a distribution of those who have made some income above a reasonable threshold over the past 5 years is probably useful if we want to understand the situation for people legitimately working in the profession.
That seems a good reason not to spend money on dividends which I don't think will help the company become more profitable. Cutting jobs to save money is understandable, but the savings should be used to invest into the business.
"Having these addresses where we wouldn't even touch half of the bits for decades would have been unpopular with a lot of people, even if he would have been praised for being so forward thinking in the end."

Worse perhaps, people, algorithms, hardware, ... will all start to assume those bits are zero and start optimizing for that. We have seen this happen repeatedly throughout history (eg. Lisp pointers would stuff tags in the "spare" bits in addresses, making implementations non-portable).

These are all hard problems, but the lesson I take away is to

1. Always have a plan for evolving the design/protocol/API/...

2. Aim for a watertight design that supports 1. (Example: TLS 1.3 puts random stuff into reserved fields so nobody can assume they are zero).

3. Really stretch your imagination about future usages (assume 50+ years)

4. Have a ridiculously comprehensive test suite for both clients and servers

It seems clear that in terms of lifetimes, hardware gets used much longer than expected, software even more so (Y2K anyone), but protocols/formats/specs/... literally never dies
I could write you a book on this. But let's just say the "alternative" is all in attitude and what we care about in society. The person I responded to literally just says "well the corporation only exists to give profit to the shareholders!! that is their legal obligation!"

As if that is some kind of fact of nature?

That is a debatable topic. As in- SHOULD that be the case? The older I've gotten the more I realize we are taught all of these constructs and never to question their actual intentions.

What is the intention behind the construct of a corporation that the primary responsibility is to give back to the shareholders? Green & rewarding people that already have money.

Why can't the main intention be a company to given stable employment to workers and adequate rights? To pay reasonable taxes on your profits to give back to the welfare of society?

But no.. we have a system in place here where a company is basically not required to give paid sick leave, no maternity leave, limited healthcare, zero paid time off, no sort of retirement/safety nets, no guarantee that you won't be fired the next day and have zero severance.. etc etc etc

Everything that's wrong with not helping people in our society is all intermingled right now. We need to increase taxes significantly on corporations and the wealthy. We need to guarantee healthcare, early childcare, significant maternity leave, paid sick days, vacation, way more higher education assistance.

Then even if corporations get to continue to be more greedy, at least they are paying their share and have to provide way more benefits to people.

Now since we are on HN- someone is going to say "Intel and X tech corporation do that!" And hey, fair enough they do a lot of that. But you know what? They are giving benefits to the people WHO HAVE MONEY! We are literally in a society where the people with the best benefits are the ones who make enough money where they could manage without them.

Yet most of the workforce that does more random jobs are the ones who get screwed with basically no benefits while making shit money.

Long story short? It's all connected and so much needs to change. But I have little hope any of this will in the US.
What are some signs a résumé was created in LaTex?
Definitely do chargebacks on the card. And don't mess with lawyers. Anyone telling you to contact one has never contacted one. Why would anyone spend $800 to get $300 back? Small claims is definitely a legit way to go if you cannot recover the funds. Facebook likely won't even send a representative and you'll win by default. Collecting from them is another issue in itself, but you'll at least have a judgement against them. I have taken people to small claims and it's fairly simple.
You're right, I was accidentally exaggerating a little. I just checked my Amazon order history and mine was 40 bucks. still unbelievably cheap for a watch that is bomb proof. ordered mine in 2019. I think I've worn it 90% of the time since then. still going strong. It's beaten out fitbit's and Garmin instincts.

I really wish they made a health tracker without a watch on it like the old original fitbit bracelets.

I would just wear the G-Shock plus the health tracker bracelet be perfectly happy.
Because asphalt is a proven material.

Don't ask why but I had a fantasy of building a road in a developing country and your best options are dirt, sealed gravel and asphalt.
Everything else is not cost effective at all.
This seems like a very reasonable position to me, but they should add the restriction to their licensing rather than just nicely asking other devs to pretty-please don't do this.

Although I don't use github (for reasons unrelated to to copilot), public access to my code was eliminated when I took my websites down while I look for a way to deal with AI scraping. I'm eagerly watching what others do, hoping that someone will have a great idea of how to deal with this before I do.
A shopping cart is not a non core feature if you want to have large sales, and it shouldn't take a decade to build.

This whole conversation always devolves into straw man nonsense and it gets old. Is steam perfect? No. It has a lot of classic valve issues and the biggest argument I see is should they be able to take 30%.

Was epic a competitor? So far no, and mostly because of screw ups on their end. If you want people to adopt an alternative from something that's already very convenient , then you need to make yours more so, not less. People aren't sticking with steam because of forums or profiles or whatever. They're sticking with steam because the only competitive advantage epic offers is Free games (which are easy enough to grab and dip) and exclusives (which ignoring if this should or shouldn't be a thing, isn't nearly enough to pull people over rather than make them sometimes hop across)
How about the extra 30 seconds to couple minutes for CI/CD to make a production build for static deployment? V16 added the ability to put esbuild/Vite into the mix, but it still builds WAAAAAAAAY too slow compared to modern alternatives, especially if you're on v15-.

ng serve for development is a pig too. Save-reload cycle is far from instant.
Steam's UI has been a mess but Epic is garbage in comparison. It took Epic three years to support buying more than one game at a time. Unless things have changed recently, they're nowhere near Steam when it comes to basic functionality like search and filtering.

Remote Play/Remote Play Together alone puts Steam ahead personally.
Yes, some say 90 percent of jobs have been replaced by technology in the last 150 years. And why don't we see all those people out of work? Clearly technology has also opened up new fields and freed up more workers to fill the new jobs. For example all computer-related jobs just didn't exist before 1945, and they're certainly not all middle-management jobs.

You can say it's different this time, but that's what's been said every time.
Why couldn't a suite of microservices and supporting datastores be deployed on a single instance (via docker compose, et al.)?

If your adoption strategy requires people constantly checking in to see if you've finally got features they want, then it's a bad strategy.
Citizen’s Dangerous Effort to Cash in on Vigilantism
I definitely notice if a resume is written in latex, and while I wouldn't hire someone solely based on that, it's definitely a slight positive in my mind. IMHO it shows they understand the value of visual presentation, using the right tool for the job, and aren't afraid to learn a new programming language.
JavaScript turned off is my web browsing default, has been for years.

I don't understand how people can tolerate the web with JS on as everything is so tediously slow. JS off also has the advantage of nuking most ads. Web browsing is safer too.
Top writers make significantly more (see, for example, the large paydays for Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Quinta Brunson).

But everyone else makes significantly less. While pay scales have increased on a per-episode basis, TV show seasons are less than half as long as they were before, and streamers don't pay royalties, so absolute pay decreased substantially.

For point of comparison: a friend who worked in the writer's room on a FOX broadcast TV show several years ago (5+ years ago) was able to buy a house with the salary from one season and the royalties for writing a single episode broadcast that season (out of approximately 20ish). She currently works on a streaming show for one of the major streaming services and her salary this year as the head writer for that 10-episode show is less than the royalties for that single broadcast episode, despite millions more viewers watching the streaming show.
Was your email to legal@ a demand letter? I’ve sent demand letters to that email previously and had my issues, both times, sorted within 48 hours.
Yes it's in the article. At the time they were looking for a big acquisition that would be a big mover. They weren't looking for any particular type of business.
Filing for arbitration can be even easier. Both will likely be effective.
This is useful. Many services that run periodically can end up with odd patterns emerging.

E.g. Tor network capacity varies over the month due to bandwidth management tending to happen at the begining/end of months
No, the full quote is "This calcium carbonate strengthens the biochar and helps it bind better with cement, giving strong concrete."

The binding part is very important. It holds grains between them. For example that's the difference between a hard granite and a crumbly, sandy granite rock (that's called "decomposed granite"). It's day and night.

And I also believe them that the treated biochar is stronger than the untreated one. Maybe if the same process was used to treat the cement itself it would be a disaster, but here that's not the case.

What do you mean "forming oxide in biochar"?? The oxide of biochar is CO2. Are you trying to make fun of me heh...
freebsd cron(8) has -j for the daemon to add a random sleep of up to 60 seconds on each task. This was added in FreeBSD 5.3, committed 19 years ago. (FreeBSD 5.3 released November 6, 2004)

I think you need some examples. Valve hasn’t behaved in the way you described at all.

Buying studios and canceling their projects? What are you even talking about?

Valve’s console allows other competing game stores to run on it out of the box. It even and directly supports installing Windows. Any other console manufacturers doing that?

I would argue that anyone who wants to stop buying on Steam has almost no friction to doing so compared to other platforms. All you have to do is buy all your games from somewhere else from now on. You don’t have to replace any Valve hardware you own because their hardware is the most open and well-supported on the market.

I’m just struggling to figure out how Valve “no longer cares.”

I think so too in the short term (1-2 years at least) Python will gently move into the last stage of its adoption curve (even doing nothing).

But now is a time where at various high places people will say: "Ok you got my attention. What is this snake language you are talking about and explain why I should bet the house on it".

And the answer is not simple.
What is the physical mechanism that prevents the bootloader from being unlocked, and how does an internet connection have anything to do with it?

I would hope there isn't a direct path for internet traffic to interact with the boot firmware...
The Amazfit Neo serves well as a rough estimate for heart rate and give good value for just $30 (currently even just 10€ it seems).

But if you e.g. enable the detailed heart rate and sleep measurement the battery life is not more than a week and the quality of the measurement cannot be fully trusted & bigger latency (plus in the app the resolution of heart values is just one value per 5 minute). So it is not that good quality ... still worth the money.
> I could easily upload the same video and put a caption under it of "filmed shortly after the birth of Elon Musk" on it.

Except it's on YouTube, not a website under their control, which means you now need to argue - with convincing evidence - that YouTube is in on a conspiracy to defraud the court to get at Musk.
In 1997 there wouldn't have been 50,000 spam responses in the query.

In 1997 there would have been some place that made it, or someone interested in it that would have made the site for their own interests in spreading the information.

Today there are countless entities looking to scrape a penny from your view in any way possible, and will create an ocean of spam in order to capture that revenue.

At least with search engines we cannot go back. That internet is dead. Any new system you create to bring back the old internet will attract the previous group because your system would be valuable, and like parasites, they will steal value from your system.
There's need, and there's expect. Unless you expect every homeowner or other property owner to do expensive and destructive testing prior to a reconfiguration, remodel, or bringing in heavy semi-stationary loads onto their property, it's somewhat critical that concrete behave like concrete regardless of its initial use case.

A simple example is in my previous home when I had a section of the master bedroom closet partially walled around a Class C TL-30 rated firesafe, and the room partially reconstructed with ballistic armor in the walls and a vault door, to turn it into a safe room for valuables + home protection. The safe had a weight of nearly 9000 pounds in a footprint of 64 by 30 inches on the floor. I was only able to do this because the house was a slab on grade construction and we knew the footing depth and slab thickness of the concrete would handle the weight.

If this had been some sort of "eco concrete" it would have cracked and eventually failed under that weight, and we would not have known this because the slab thickness would have been the same.

P.S.: Since everyone always asks because it's hard to find actual safes (most "safes" are garbage RSCs), it was custom built by a local safe-maker and expect to pay $$$$$. The safe I had installed was $35k, and that didn't include the room tearout/rebuild or the vault door, just the freestanding safe that went into the room.
I think this is an interesting question.

I.e., to what extent does search activity reveal confidential information to an external entity (Google) that has no right to that information, nor any restriction on further sharing it?

E.g., could Google legally sell EPA search queries to companies bidding on competitive EPA contracts?

Either way, is there a clear line between using Google and using ChatGPT w.r.t. information leak?

Lightweight Armoury Crate alternative for Asus laptops. Control tool for ROG Zephyrus G14, G15, G16, M16, Flow X13, Flow X16, TUF, Strix, Scar and other models. A small utility that allows you to do almost everything you could do with Armoury Crate but without extra bloat and unnecessary services.
When I used iPhone up until this year, I also felt like the flaws were as though nobody uses iPhones at Apple, which is obviously not the case. However, there is a lot of brainwashing going on telling people that something that is bad is actually good.

Whenever Apple locks people into one of their properties, people say, "ooh, smart move". Maybe it is, but it's shitty. Siri couldn't turn my lights off, for example, and Google and Alexa have no trouble with that.

For me I would have to buy/pirate and install Windows and buy/pirate Office. Or make a Google account and learn to use Google documents for the first time. Both of those are companies I think are unethical and will violate my privacy. Libre Office doesn't make documents that look nice to me. I used LaTeX for hundreds of hours at university so it is really not hard to me. The laziest option to me is definitely LaTeX, and I am a lazy person that doesnt like to waste time fiddling around with abstruse technical stuff
Good points. It makes sense overall. I'm wondering if the perception is that high level engineering doesn't have as much business value as lower level engineering that allows teams to work in parallel.

> Everything is just another framework, just another language, just another pattern. At this point, unless you are a spectacularly proficient programmer, there's a limit to how much further you are going to improve.

I believe this is mostly a business decision, although one that could be justified. In theory, systems can be built such that changes and updates are simple configuration changes, including new features. Another example is using advanced techniques to guarantee no bugs. So while any given feature could be coded by multiple teams of mid-level skill, it could also be coded by a small team of high level engineers. As the system matures the cracks become visible and unless there are sophisticated techniques, codebases tend to deteriorate and that introduces otherwise unnecessary business costs to fix issues or even build a new system. The main reason I can think of why this is an accepted "sacrifice", is that a team of high level engineers cannot be as transparent as multiple teams with lower level engineers and managers. High level engineering is often opaque to everyone except others that have the knowledge.

> And that is the impact that engineering leaders look for - someone who can code faster than everyone else just means there's a giant bottleneck everywhere around them.

So yes, this makes sense but I think it's only a bottleneck if others are not as technically proficient. Speed comes as a result of more technical knowledge, and it seems to me at some point software companies are cutting that off in favor of using that experience to get everyone else up to speed, instead of continuing to leverage the direct skillset and building teams of highly proficient engineers, which in my opinion would deliver exponential business value (by coding sophisticated systems that can do virtually anything).
> Does AI "subvert" "promoting the Progress of Science and useful Arts"? I don't think so. Quite the contrary... I think it advances the progress of science and the useful arts, if anything

It does subvert that purpose to the extent that it makes some people no longer willing to share their works. The entire purpose of copyright is to encourage the sharing of works.
Oh my goodness, yes, I meant pathogenic. What a silly and fitting insult.
