As for Rhapsody and "Yellow Box" for Windows dying, not sure if it would make a difference, OpenSTEP also did not work out that well, not even for Sun, other than being an influence to Java and Java EE (originally an Objective- C framework).

By the way, my graduation thesis was porting an OpenGL based particle engine from Objective-C/NeXTSTEP into C++/Windows 95, because the university department was getting rid of their Cubes, at this time there were no hopes for NeXT.

Yeah! Web3 hype was ephemeral.
IMHO I believe that addiction is hard-coded in our DNA and can be a sort of coping mechanism; or "modus operandi" for work, you might say.

Take Tobacco for example. It's been around since circa 1400 BC ...how can you compete with over a millenia of evolution with humans and general use? We have to face facts and accept that we are prone to mind-altering, addictive substances and that's what makes us uniquely human.

Whether it's the coffee in the morning, Coca leaf tea for lunch or Marijuana...

We need our fix.

Sorry.

PS: And to those claiming they live puritanically I disagree. Endorphins are addictive, too.

>no wonder we end up with such buggy junk software... people... write tests!

absolutely condescending and holier than thou. I view TDD as a premature optimization when writing software that isn't simplistic or cut-and-dry CRUD. Trying to do something new doesn't always mean there's a known output before writing the actual code. Experimentation is a valid thing in software development and writing tests before writing the code would stifle some types of development. In a lot of cases it's bass-ackwards to write tests before the implementation is producing a useful result. I know this type of development might seem foreign to some, but you don't always know what you don't know before you start experimenting while writing code, and TDD doesn't really fit all types of development.

> It's kind of weird to laud one specific explorer, yearly.

Not really any more weird that celebrating a politician yearly, or a civil rights leader yearly, or a religious figure yearly. I don't think it would be weird at all to have an Armstrong or Neil-Buzz Day or whatever (in fact, it's a bit weird we don't have one, since flying to the Moon seems like a bigger deal than sailing to the New World).

> It's also kinda weird that the century-long love-boner for Columbus caused so many people to omit any open discussion about how horrible a person he was, and the brutal policies he put into place. When do we teach that to the kids?

I'm not sure if he was uniquely horrible in any meaningful way. I know some folks try to argue this, but it seems pretty tenuous. All explorers & conquistadors were, for the most part, pretty brutal bounty hunters.
Interesting but most of them seem to have English words or phrases that are equivalent. So I don't see this as really substantive. Unless your goal is pretension.

It would be different if it went into a bit of depth on a few of them. But this looks like a list of words to memorize for throwing out at dinner parties or something.

I guess practically speaking that's what most people really want.

I would be, except for the fact that a religion like islam will cut off your head if you decide you don't believe in a god anymore. And christianity was like that as well, until the Western World secularized. With the ugly head of evangelicalism raising it's head, don't think that the USA couldn't backslide into a religious regression and start executing gay people or putting their own children to death if they disobey their parents, as the bible outlines that parents can do.

So yeah, I get your sentiment, but there are a whole lot of people out there who want the USA to go back to fundamentalism and have the church run the government, just like in Iran, except we will have a bunch of loathful evangelicals the power behind the presidency.

So personally, I think I have to fight religion at every point that I am able to fight. It's a war of ideas and ideas matter. Because ideas lead to actions.

Just sayin'.

Laying off then re-hiring at reduced pay and benefits, a common practice not confined to the tech industry or FAANG. Also a way to get rid of troublesome and unproductive people under the guise of a mass layoff. Labor unions exist in part to prevent that practice.

I'll let you work out why companies might prefer hiring people with less experience, or discriminate against older and more experienced people -- a practice so widespread in tech we joke about it. Hint: seniority usually implies higher pay, lower chance of getting blinded by free pizza and dry cleaning, and more independence of thought in the workplace. Less work experience usually means a more compliant employee.

A more cynical take: the tech companies, especially FAANG and the startups that emulate them, over-hired to hoard "talent" and slow down their competitors. And they based their hiring binges on bad ideas like "the metaverse," or more generally sustained crazy growth as if markets never mature. The layoffs then represent the workers paying the price for poor management and short-sighted decisions, and pandering to Wall Street and VCs.

Also, as for the point of contention, I think if you tell the LLM to show its work in mathematically formal notation, it's far more likely to be able to produce correct answers (I think there was a post on here in the last week or so demonstrating that?). I think this kind of makes the comparison to humans more fair, because inside their mind humans are doing some sort of intermediate math in their head for anything beyond trivial problems, and an LLM needs to be able to speak explicitly to compete fairly with that (I speculate/propose).

It needs them because there are too few unique syllables in Mandarin. I'm sure a linguist can provide the proper terminology, but there are only around 400 unique sounds in Mandarin, ignoring tones. Even adding five tones still only increases this to ~1500 (not all are used). Compare this to English, where estimates are in the 10-15k range.

There are therefore an enormous number of homophones in Mandarin, which makes it very challenging to comprehend without context. I've often had native speaking friends eavesdrop on a conversation, only to tell me that they're not sure what is being discussed.

It also means that the language cannot be usefully written phonetically, and thus unique characters are required.

We had oil, so maybe you sent it to some brother nation.

What happened is URSS planed and forced the economy of it's satellites, because they did not like Romania they tried to not allow us to have an industry and forced us to sell them resources and they would sell us stuff. Luckily we had some competent leaders with diplomatic skills(btw is diplomacy looked down upon in Russia?... ) and Romania managed to get away from URSS planned control, we even prepared for an URSS invasion and had the USA president visit, but it took decades to kick Russians out from our country and our business.

About the gold, other countries returned the gold, and it is not only gold, Russia is keeping documents, artwork , from Bulgaria too(aren't Bulgaria your brothers? ). I am sure the gold is in Putin palace but did he used the documents to fill his library too? The art might be on the walls of his palace, bunkers and yachts but if you have prove that our art, gold, documents is in UK let me see it.

Yes, I first learned this and the name "splay" from CFengine, back in the day.

I use it 90% for entertainment.

In improv theater there's something called "yes and" - essentially you take the premise father, no matter how absurd, without redirection.

You can come up with the most ridiculous things and it just goes with it, hilariously.

I'll come up with one on the spot. "I'm having a very difficult time with my pet snails being social. I'm thinking of starting a social networking site and giving snails tiny phones so they can chat with each other. I need a company name, an elevator pitch, and some copy for my landing page."

And then you ask it to do I dunno, NFTs and crypto currency for snails, give them tiny VR headsets. Have it come up with a jingle and a commercial. You can say instead of unfriending you salt them. Etc... It'll just keep going. Even "A snails rights luddite group of Mennonites and Amish are now protesting my idea. I need a way to appease my critics. Can you write a letter for me that defends snailconnect as healthy and good?"

One of my favorite outputs from this session

"How about SnailConnect; a small trail for snail, one giant leaf for snailkind."

You don't ever get to a place where it's like "well now you're just being ridiculous"

Just very simple things, like if you were to suggest to someone evidently overweight to perhaps move around a little more or watch their diet, they (or other people for that matter) are likely to call you judgemental and be offended.

> All explorers & conquistadors were, for the most part, pretty brutal bounty hunters.

It seems like you’re continually answering your own question about why we should no longer hold these people up on pedestals.

And revisiting horrible actions of historical figures that has taken the shine off them is hardly confined to Columbus, or even focused on him. I’d say the increased visibility of owning, raping, and murdering slaves by the American founding fathers has been more prominent.
Windows has the advantage that there is only one desktop environment and display server, and you will use it.

This is also its disadvantage.
Ask HN: Simple Logging / Stats Solution?
I have a bunch of side projects running on platforms like Heroku/fly.io/etc. They are usually NodeJS.

I want a very simple logging solution (since platforms like fly.io do not retain logs). Think, logging K/V pairs from NodeJS that get streamed to some server.

Ideally, the logging solution would be something simple I can spin up in a Dockerfile on fly.io--but I'm also open to using hosted alternatives.

It just seems like things like prometheus/loki are much too heavyweight--for my extremely basic usecase.

The core requirement is simplicity / ease of use. Single-node, very easily dockerized, nothing to think about.
Ask HN: Job seekers, what is the state of the job market?
tldr; Based on your current searching experience, how good or bad it is compared to what you know, were expecting, etc.?

I really don't know anybody else looking, I have anecdotal evidence of IT folks having multiple simultaneous full time jobs, and every jobs report says "best job market ever", but my bites and interviews are either rare or very rare.

I also know I'm not the rare talent I used to be, so it's possible the job market is fine, or even good or great (for job seekers, to be clear).

What's your experience?
I know this might sound weird, but my dream would be having an AI -- instead of gossiping about humans traffic -- communicate with other driver-system-cars in the world in some giant unified "communication program" that allows all cars to drive in tandem, in sync and on time.

It would be revolutionary, yes, but definitely worth it in the end when we make driverless cars a real reality. Ideally it would be governed and maintained and spear-headed by the Gov't. Nationalizing or Globalizing it would be a top priority everyone invests in.

Am I crazy?
Fulger – Self-sovereign software stack for handling lightning payments
Dear community,

We have started working on an open-source project to help bring lightning infrastructure as close as possible to developers and more technically oriented people who are not afraid to own their entire stack (or at least a bigger part of it). We think it's not that hard, it's been done and proven to be working, it's just a matter of learning some skills and putting it in a context where it starts making sense.

The goal is to have a minimal (yet solid) footprint for operating data and connections along side a website or application, and then keep integration as close as possible to a lightning network daemon like currently with lnd for actual interoperability with the network.

The starting point is the source code available here https://github.com/kangu/fulger. You can install and run it for yourself, it's not very much at this point, just a proof-of-concept donation/tipping system. The plan is to implement on a vision for handling micro-transactions on content websites where content creations get to monetization on their own terms and have full control of their data and connected peers, then afterwards the standard orders/products management system in the backend for a more "traditional" store.

Comments and thoughts are welcomed.

Companies that use these monstrosity ATSs that can’t be bothered to parse a valid PDF CV and that require hoops just to apply (create yet another account in their ATS, copy my cv into hundreds of text boxes, can’t proceed without a salary expectation or past salary history etc are places I want nothing to do with.

I tried to do this via xrandr + selecting 2× scaling from the UI, with limited success for three reasons:

1) The display preferences panel did not know about my custom backing framebuffer and kept re-setting it to match the native resolution on each click (could be resolved by careful ordering of operations)

2) The mouse cursor became tiny (could be set to bigger sizes, although it looked like you are picking an unreasonably huge mouse size on the control panel)

3) Couldn't break out of the original 4k bounds with the mouse

...and that's were I left it last time.
There's a remedy for incomplete discovery and that's more discovery, not dismissing the case.

IANAL but my understanding is that pre-trial dismissal requires something akin to, "even if the facts are as alleged, there is no case", e.g. the actions that SBF is alleged to have done are not in fact fraud. Or "you cannot allege these facts which support the prosecution because of other undisputed facts X Y Z which directly contradict the allegations".

"I can do math myself, thank you very much."

You might be able to do math yourself, but there are many practical reasons why you wouldn't or couldn't do all sorts of math -- even simple math.

For example, how you find the median value of a billion random numbers without a computer? You wouldn't have time in your lifetime to do this, not to mention that you'd probably make a lot of mistakes despite the process being very simple in principle.

A computer could do this easily, and even were it to be a little off in its answer, that would be far preferable to devoting your entire lifetime to finding the answer yourself.

That's just one very simple example. It's not hard to find plenty more.
In my opinion, there is no inherent good or bad when it comes to working or not working. Both are ways to lead a life. If that life is good depends on what you expect from it. You can work and work until you drop and be deeply dissatisfied. And you can just chill, regularly almost starve. But be happy. But most people feel they have the biggest chance for happiness by trying to balance these extremes. Most people tend to lean towards the "work too much" side of things until they drop.
We hate people who game the system by not working unless they gamed it in the right way (depends on who you ask).
At some point it becomes a serious tradeoff. It will definitely excel in finding niche solutions, in bringing up that one mechanism that's rarely used but very relevant in some case.
It cannot say "I don't know" and will start babbeling instead, but if you know the downsides the upsides can be significant
