I blog everyday, I journal thoughts down of software things I think are interesting.

I think multithreading, paralellism, programming language implementation and development, knowledge bases, exominds, performance, software architecture is deeply interesting - so I tend to write about those things.

I use GitHub repositories as my blog, I edit with Typora a windows based markdown editor or IntelliJ.

I've been journalling software ideas since 2012. You can find links in my profile.

I treat the README.md as a journal and add records to the bottom. My blog, I do the opposite. I do it in reverse order on my blog, the most recent entries go to the top.

This actually is a good point. Capitalism and Socialism are broad labels that make little sense outside of scholastic arguments.

As a side note, I live in a wealthy European parliamentary monarchy with stellar press freedom ratings and an abysmal quality of press that makes me want to ignore all local news outright. Is there an -ism for that? Decadentism?

> the only place I even see discussion about this is on Hacker News of all places

This is all over the news and social media but it's impossible to discuss anything in those spaces. Even here on HN people created sockpuppet accounts to call me out. Not even kidding.

I wonder if they understand the fact such pseudonymous fake accounts will literally become a crime if this law passes.

My experience is that Symfony, in its fat, batteries-included form, does take quite long time to initialize on cold caches. The first request can take hundreds of milliseconds but usually the very next request is in the normal 10ms range. This is especially noticeable on (cheap) shared hosting which has always been a common place to run PHP.

I've never found it to be a problem on a VPS but if you're developing on something slow like a Raspberry Pi I can see this happening regularly. If you're used to deploying stuff in containers and constantly throw out the cache the initialisation problem can happen very easily as well.
My iPhone 12 mini spends 95% of its life on a MagSafe charger and has never charged to 80% after a year with this setting enabled. I wish Apple would add an explicit option like "Protect Battery" on Samsung devices.
Yeah, I'm the same. I spend hours on youtube, in fact we don't have any streaming or cables subscription and I don't miss it. The content is fantastic IMHO. I would pay for this one service. I'm actually seriously contemplating subscribing to it now, after all those many years of consuming it for free.
It would be helpful if someone compared this to the contemporary kibbutz movement.

That appears to be trigged by "-32-32" (broken) vs "-32 -32" (working). Looks like this has been a long-standing weirdness in Firefox[1] where it is allowed somewhere but not other places.

I have heard of their “system”, they auction ad space out in real time with a bunch a descriptors for the ad buyers who then bid for the space. Google really doesn’t give a crap who wins it or if it matches your interests/needs. Advertisers are free to advertise to anyone as long as they win the bid.

I’m not that worried about this. I mean, Microsoft runs azure and they have security protocols, that you can audit and show to your auditors, that reduce the risk of sysadmins snooping on vms, blob storage and anything else they could scan for keys.

I think the risk of a GitHub employee introducing malicious code to scan memory and dump any tokens found for exhilaration is lower than the risk of my own employee or myself doing that.

Rotating the secret seems like a waste of resources in this situation.

IMO it's fair to call it open source if you can reasonably use the open part of it in its own right, if the core stands alone and there's just some closed source plugins or whatever.

Where 'open core' is to be scathingly applied and '!= open source' etc. is, IMO, when you have a system with only some piece open, and other integral pieces not. Like an open backend but closed source clients, keys required so a third-party client wouldn't work anyway, etc.

There was no work on C intrinsics yet when 0.7.1 was the current draft. That started with 0.8, if I recall correctly.

I'd rather program directly in assembly language, or in inline asm, than in intrinsics anyway. They are verbose, ugly, hard to write, hard to read, and even hard to modify because things such as the LMUL are baked into every single function name.

I don't know of any document that carefully shows the differences. I'd like to create one, if I had someone to pay for my time to do it.

If you actually believe that you should be blocking YouTube, not just the ads. The excuses in this thread are like arguing that it’s okay to sneak into a casino’s free buffet because the gambling industry has plenty of money and is bad for people.
He is also right about laziness. The tragedy might be that some people will never be challenged to write and so they will never develop the potential that they might have. I would not have bothered to make the effort to write somewhat clearly if I had not been criticized for sloppy writing. And, like you say, writing is thinking - so it's a lot more important than the words that end up on the page.
I've dealt with many folks like this. Some have found treatment and support, and others have Gone And Done It.

When we reach that point, it's pretty much impossible to escape the singularity of self-centeredness, and we sometimes delude ourselves into thinking that "we're doing them a favor, because they are better off without us."

I have never encountered anyone close to someone that has killed themselves, that has ever thought they were "better off" without their friend/partner/parent/child.

It's completely devastating, and often triggers a corrosion of families and communities.

> This is how brand advertising works, it's psychological 'trickery' to try and associate that brand with what people find positive, such associations influence us when we make buying choices or when we react to other people's buying choices.

Not sure how cursing at highly repetitive ads that aren’t relevant to me is a considered “positive”.
So in order to not see ads, I must outbid companies who want to show me ads against my wishes. And like any protection scheme, being willing to pay makes you a bigger target. This is why adblockers are the only moral choice.
I understand that! It would be optimal, but life happens. That being said, I still manage to code on the side somehow. But I'm single and don't have kids, so that's probably why. I would be sad to lose that.
I think YouTube Premium LITE is definitely worth the 7 € I pay for it, and I wish YouTube would actually tell users about it.

If I had known there was a LITE option I would have subbed probably years ago - but it seems like they do their damndest best to try not to tell you about it.

Twitch does the same. They have some kind of site-wite subscription ("twitch turbo"). Although I think it is a tad expensive for what it is. And they do their damndest best for you not to know about it.
Great looking site

20 free messages is so low to let a user figure out if this is worth paying for.
Not just rich, they likely consume YT significantly higher than normal crowd, thus higher cost for Google to serve them. If someone watches 1 video a day in YT, they likely won't think of getting a subscription.

I'd say that it's not that there's some gain causing people/organizations to be obstructive, but rather that IPv4 and its address shortage simply isn't a problem for the influential people and organizations, they're doing just fine and for them there is nothing that needs to be fixed; IPv6 is needed by "someone else" who can be safely ignored with no noticeable effect to the bottom line.
The ad I most frequently get on YouTube - we’re talking three times per video, every other video - is for a shingles vaccine targeted at adults over 60.

No amount of spaced repetition is going to make me, an adult decades under the age of 60, talk to my doctor about that shingles vaccine. This cannot possibly be a truly cost-efficient ad platform.
And when it is relevant to the topic at hand, people should bring up those past misdeeds. For example, if those aforementioned sources were selling a new war, it would be relevant to recall the Iraqi WMD debacle. Comments about disgraced CNN producer John Griffin or litigation against Don Lemon would not be relevant. As you say, it is all about context.

Maybe you can elaborate on how "stoning gays" is relevant in this context?

What i really miss when compared to ZFS is ability to create datasets. I really like to use ZFS subvolumes for LXC containers. That way i can have separate sub-btree for each container with it's own size limit without having to create partitions or LVs, format the filesystem and then resize everything when i need to grow the partition or even defragment fs before shrinking it. With ZFS i can easily give and take disk capacity to my containers without having to do any multi step operation that requires close attention to prevent accidental data loss.

Basicaly i just state what size i want that subtree to be and it happens without having to touch underlying block devices. Also i can change it anytime during runtime extremely easily. Eg.:

zfs set quota=42G tank/vps/my_vps

zfs set quota=32G tank/vps/my_vps

zfs set quota=23G tank/vps/my_other_vps

btrfs can kinda do this as well, but the commands are not as straighforward as in zfs.

update: My bad. bcachefs seems to have subvolumes now. there is also some quota support, but so far the documentation is bit lacking, so not yet sure how to use that and if that can be configured per dataset.

Reasons for not going Youtube Premium -

1) Don't want Youtube to connect me to my real identity.
I browse incognito, or using alt IDs.

2) Many creators I follow are demonetized.

Why should I reward Youtube ?

If I want to pay, I would rather pay them directly.
It's their content that I watch.

3) I have seen a Ton of financial scams for targeting poor people using the names of Credible Top Brands in the country .
The fact that Youtube approves such shady Ads doesn't feel right to me.

What's the alternative ?
Instagram Reels and TikTok already rule short form videos.

If they can introduce a better Search Experience and a Long Form Video product, there will be a credible competitor to Youtube.
How do you define open-core ? We and I suppose it's the same for supertokens literally only have features in ee that large enterprise would care about like scaling to hundreds of workers. Would you prefer that we never develop those features ? What difference does it make if we develop those plugins in the main repo versus another one ? Would you prefer that those features to be hidden from sight so you cannot even read the source ?

I might be wrong but open-core is for me products that expose the minimal amount of features as open-source but are only really usable with the proprietary glue. That is not the case for us.

We would, if we retained an oral tradition (as in the case in that Platonic dialogue).

And even better, we would know it by heart.

Assuning we considered it important of course. But that would be another benefit: it would also filter unimportant works over time.

Of course not everybody would know it by heart. That's a third benefit: only people interested and caring enough would know Plato. Not dilletantes.

Quickly scanning the comments here I didn't find anyone mentioning this, a bit further in the thread:

> catalinmpit: Too bad the content written by ChatGPT is average at best.

> paulg: That's a step up for most people.

That's what my impression is: yes, ChatGPT produces mediocre writing and Copilot produces mediocre code, but it's already more legible than many (not sure if "most") people are capable of. I'm not sure in what way exactly, but I think this alone will change a lot in how we communicate online. The best result would be for people to learn from ChatGPT and eventually reach its level and beyond, but... it doesn't go that way too often, historically speaking...

I bought a Dell 27" 4K monitor during the pandemic that ended up being too dim and the most flare-prone coating I've ever encountered. Dunk on the Apple 27" 5K display all we want, but it's insanely bright and almost impossible to glare.

It cost 3x what my Dell did but it's essentially usable in my home office where the Dell monitor was not usable.

So the Dell was 1/3 the cost for 0% of the value.
I'm sorry, this is nonsense. Technical reports exist to fill in information that is useful for readers but not necessary to understand the key contributions of the work, and/or that don't fit within the journal or conference's page limit. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it is something people do to avoid competitive baselines; IME, the peer-reviewed portion of the publication is far more likely to contain misleading benchmarks than the technical report, since the paper is trying to "sell" the work in a way the technical report is not.

What this is an instance of is Google's approach to academic publishing of releasing a paper that contains almost no actionable information, but which is considered important and publishable solely because it came from Google and therefore is used in industry. This has been exhibited many times before--e.g. see the original Spanner paper, which was so light on details and confusing that they needed to release a followup paper several years later to explain what the system was even using the atomic clocks for!

>The diagonal only made sense for TVs because the aspect ratio was fixed at 4:3 (and later 16:9).

I'm not entirely sure it made sense even then. I completely understand the point (knowing the AR allows one metric to consistently compare and derive the other dimensions) but in my opinion, diagonals became ubiquitous because when looking at TVs, bigger was typically better in the consumer mind and the diagonal is of course one of the largest justifiable dimensions they could plaster over the product and cheaper to print/advertise (less text to put on boxes and flyers).

I think we were handed diagonals in the same way prices are often advertised at near complete fractions of dollars ($9.99): it projects more value to the average consumer's perceived value than it actually provides.
