It let's you safely run lots of different code in a single processs, without paying the context switching cost.

Quests's jank problem is probably in part that multiprocess architecture has to spawn new processes & change priorities of what's running & handle expensive context switches between processes elegantly, which is hard. Not only is non-monolithic code sometimes harder to reason about, it has all kinds of performance boundaries that are very painful to cut through.

Read through Pipewire changelogs & how they've worked so hard to make best use of kernel primitives with less and less overhead, look how hard they've worked to get near Jack levels of efficiency. Great example of the slow march of multi-process optimization.

Sandboxes let you collocate different processes inside the same process. You still have many of the same architectural challenges, but the ability to spawn new code & run it has much much lower overhead. It creates the possibility to make way more multi-process like architectures than we can explore now.
I wonder how much Starship mitigates that by having the descent propulsion controlled by the top thrusters. I'd assume they use the same thrusters from take off too as we've seen the damage Raptor 2's can do, let alone 3 and whatever comes after the 350bar line.

Also, could regolith be bound or, well, packed down to build pads?

I received an e-mail update several weeks ago from a company that actually improved and made things cheaper in every way.

I had to read it 5 times to be sure that there was absolutely nothing being cut/made worse because they used the same corporate speak as one usually does for bad news (i.e. there was no "GOOD NEWS YOU NOW PAY $10 LESS", you had to dig through the details...).
I have seen that LLMs (specifically character.ai) are not great for people in psychosis. I’m not sure that it’s actually worse than a psychosis without an LLM to talk to, but it has been painful to watch a loved one drawn in by it.

I find that a lot of people just pick wrong kinds of projects to dig their teeth into Rust with. It is a systems programming language. If you don't know much about it and set out to build a website, things are inevitably going to go south.
It reads to me like fuzz-testing the requirements.

The bigger problem I'd see is not remaining employed, but getting stakeholders to ever take you seriously again after harassing them with asinine questions.

As a thought exercise, it's cute, just not something you subject actual people to.
interesting because in my experience Chat GPT has severe problems "understanding" OEIS so i wonder if it could solve the problems the way you did?

Surprisingly enough this is not the case, at least in Europe. I sign up for the majority of websites/apps using my primary email but make an effort to go to the account settings and immediately opt-out of any BS emails/notifications.

Every once in a while something slips through (which I make sure to email their DPO as per the GDPR and ask what's going on, and they make up an excuse on how a misconfiguration/etc resulted in me getting spammed, but at least it puts downwards pressure on this behavior), but it's manageable - my inbox is clean and averaged over a few years I get a spam maybe once a month.
We've been using previous equivalents of DCPL3551CDW and MFCL3770CDW in work site container offices for basic printing/scanning not much seems to have changed from the previous models in that use case and the latest (installed last month) seems as solid as previous iterations.

The more abused ones (plenty of dust from gravel lots and probably takes a meter tumble every 6-12 months (not that we'd be told about it)) last 2-3ish years before something get finicky enough on them that replacing them makes sense. The ones in the more cared for areas haven't had an issue and have only been replaced because site managerials want a newer printer when the mistreated printers are 5-6 years newer than theirs (but no actual issue with the printer).

I can say that quality hasn't changed noticeably from what I have seen in this narrow band of their products and that these machnies have done well and lasted longer than other ocassional cheap printer we've put in for whatever reason. I'd extrapolate from that to say ten years in a home office printing a few pages a week should be easy for them (Though maybe there's a part that gives up the ghost after 7 years that I don't see pop up in our use case).

Can't comment on linux support.
I did not mean to imply there should be a place for office admins to do scheduling, facilities people to keep the building running, etc. They are needed, and should be paid a fair living wage for their work. What should be eliminated is the very highly paid class of middlemen who provide no value and just skim profits from the labor of health care providers.
Sorry - scales are a western concept?

We have bone flutes with pentatonic tuning that are ~50 thousand years old. We have written records of scales, including major and minor, that are older than Ancient Greece.

And if scales are that old, then so are keys, and so are chords; no?
Companies share price matters to shareholders and implies an ability to raise additional capital. It doesn’t have anything to do with solvency unless they borrowed money to buy back shares (which some companies did do when interest rates were low and share prices were depressed). Employees on stock incentive plans probably are eating the burden more than anyone.
I am sure there are bots on HN; there's a really suspicious user named "dang" that I have my eye on.

But that's not how what you described gets killed or flagged or whatever. It's just that HN doesn't really care about it right now (half the people who see it will ignore it as "alarmist" and the other half have ChatGPT threads to complain in) - so you only need a few users to flag and the "dang" to not disagree.

If you are concerned about a flagging, you can email the shady group behind "dang" and they will review and can override.

We are invested in a company that does TV productions for regional markets, the content often being sold to the major streaming partners of that market. One of our partner's produced shows was a top 10 global Netflix production. Yet even they contend that Netflix's acceptance process is by far the most whimsical of them all. And with the recent shift to Americanization and wokification of content, it seems they are losing ground to Amazon Prime in regional markets. With these kinds of faux pas, I wonder if Amazon won't eat their lunch (and their daily bread) very soon.
I think the Neil Sloane Numberphile episodes are amongst my favourites (along with Cliff Stoll of course) and it's amazing that such a hobby project can become so useful. I think the appeal of his videos is that he introduces sequences as a type of game, draws you in and then later on, the interesting questions are introduced.

I have heard multiple people claim some airline staff are only paid when flying but do you have a specific airline and role you can point to that this is true for? I asked a couple people I know in the airline industry who said, basically, they get paid extra for flight hours, but still have a salary and benefits like any normal business employee. The myth is people misunderstand "getting paid extra for flying" vs "not being paid at all when not flying." They also have per diems when out of town. This is for major US airlines.

We would not need a customer's key in order to access a contract. However, only certain members of our team have the ability to access contracts, and they only do that when needed for support or to fix a bug. We log all instances of accessing a customer's account.

Maybe if you had the same attitude about bus fatalities this would be grounded in reality. If we relax the rules to school bus related fatalities there are almost an order of magnitude more.
One data point is that of all creatures, only bonobos and humans kiss. Humans don't seem to learn the concept of a kiss until at least a year, and even then it's more of a mirroring gesture. It seems like a much higher level social construct than smiling, laughing, nuzzling, etc.
This serves as a great reminder to create a Google Doc and meticulously describe every illegal activity your tech company asks you to do; names, dates, organizational plans, meeting notes. This way, in the event of a wiretap, there is a body of evidence awaiting that agency; a honeypot, if you will.

Guns over food seems like a straw man. I was interesting in survivalism a couple decades ago, and every writer I came across put a heavy emphasis on water and food. Guns were something they considered necessary in an environment where you're one of the few with clean water and food. Trying to attack others who'd stocked up wasn't recommended by anyone; if they stocked up on food they'd probably have their own guns.

Eventually I read a great little book by someone who'd lived through the currency collapse in Argentina, who said all their rural survivalists got picked off by roving gangs. That doesn't mean the gangs had a great life expectancy either. He advocated staying in town and getting to know your neighbors, setting up a neighborhood watch, helping people start gardens, etc.
It's really strange that your idea of a solution to the problems that you tacitly admit exist is to just not tell people about them.
I’m surprised how much people worry about Russia.

Then point Yoshua is making that we need need have disincentives for things like “Russia” (the rogue state) to exist.

Like living in a more fair world where living and protecting life is the default thing to want to do.

All this division as our tech becomes more powerful will for sure lead to destruction.
Ah ha! Counterintuitive on not watering but the scarring part makes sense. Will keep my eye out for other trees to try it on, would love a little Joshua tree forest. Thanks for the advice.
I’m with you on the SwiftUI skepticism. After 10+ years of native iOS development - can’t believe I’m saying this - but I thoroughly enjoy Flutter, it’s open source I can easily modify anything I want, the tooling is great, VS Code plugin is great, and hot reloading a live app is just amazing. It’s everything SwiftUI should be, let’s see what new stuff they announce at WWDC.

nginx has been a fantastic project ever since its launch with little real competition out there.

That said, I've been running it since the early days, on super heavy production loads and never felt the need to have some more "decent" metrics out of it. I assume you're referring to real time metrics here.

Most if not everything can be gathered from the logs, which nginx is very flexible with.

I fail to understand why some missing metrics in a great product make you think to migrate everything to Caddy?
"WTF is a water vitaliser", you ask? I'm glad you asked:

75% of Americans are regularly dehydrated[1], which is the main cause for stress and directly leads to low performance. New scientific findings revealed that most water we drink is actually scientifically classified as “lifeless”, due to the lack of oxygen and minerals, and most are acidic and have loose molecular structure. Whether it’s tap water, filtered water, purified water or distilled water, their macro cluster size can hardly penetrate into our cell membranes, which has a tiny narrow path. So no matter how much water or beverages you consume, the “drought” inside of our cells can not be relieved.
Until now . . .

The Vitalizer Plus was designed to create an unlimited supply of Hexagonal or Structured Water for MAXIMUM HYDRATION every day! It’s small enough to sit on your kitchen counter – durable enough to make all the hexagonal water you will ever need!

The Vitalizer Plus incorporates basic principles utilized in nature to create a life-enhancing, hexagonally-structured water, your body will love! Nature uses movement (swirling vortexes and natural curves), energy (magnetic fields from the earth and far infrared energy from the sun), minerals (naturally dissolved as water flows over mineral formations) and oxygen (incorporated as water splashes and falls). The Vitalizer Plus uses these same principles, to create Vitalized Water in your own home!

"Hexagonal structured water". Don't drink unstructured water if you can help it! Structured water is the thing!

Also, it's hexagonal.
Sorry, this part:

> it also enables a diversity of viewpoints to be expressed, which more often than not serve to regulate those in power as well as inform those without.

I have grown very doubtful about the notion that just having a diversity of viewpoints being expressed serves as a check to those in power, or that it serves to meaningfully inform people.

It increasingly appears to me that the sheer quantity of different viewpoints does the opposite of those things. It generates an ocean of emotional noise that provides cover for those in power to do what they wish, and encourages people to only accept information and views that support the opinions they already have rather than meaningfully informing them.

> I suspect, based on your posturing in the reply, however, that you've been convinced that more control is necessary to counter extreme x or y wing viewpoints

Your suspicion could not be more mistaken. I'm baffled as to what led you to it in the first place. I'm just saying that it is increasingly looking to me like the internet (especially social media) has managed to remove a lot of the benefits of free speech.

Saying that is far from saying "free speech is bad" or "speech needs to be regulated". It's saying that the mechanisms on the internet appear to amplify emotional or tribal, rather than rational or thought-out, responses. That sort of discourse has very little social upside.

Further, I suspect that those mechanisms are intentionally like that, because they provide the easiest and most profitable method of monetizing.
This is a non-falsifiable argument. Of course there need to be abstraction layers between various systems. The question is whether pubsub, and all the baggage and difficulty that brings with it, is the correct abstraction mechanism. Tossing your data to the wind and hoping the next system picks it up correctly and runs with it is not how I envision building reliable, deterministic systems.
I think companies can charge what they want for content and people are able to not use the service if they don’t like the price. So I think the moral outrage is ridiculous.

But, like you suggested, my house has access to 6 steaming services, all shared with other people, which leaves our monthly outlay at about $25. That’s a reasonable price to pay for me, and if I stop being able to share I will start to make some choices about my subscriptions. I wonder how this ends for Netflix, cashflow wise. They definitely aren’t worth the $20/m they’re asking, especially because by comparison that’s what I pay for the rest combined. In terms of content I actually want to watch they’re probably only about 4th best.

“Nobody should give two shits about efficiency with cooking unless your job is to cook efficiently.”

That’s like saying you shouldn’t care how long it takes to drive somewhere unless it’s your job to drive there quickly.

Cooking at home is one of the easiest ways to save money AND improve your health (if done conscientiously), but many people don’t do it because they are daunted by it, and they think it’s a ton of time and work. It’s so easy to lower that barrier, why wouldn’t you?

And spare parts and built for repairability.

Batteries are practically guaranteed to degrade after a few hundred charge cycles, and totally fail after a few hundred more... with daily charging, that's a timeline of a few years.

And with all the breakthroughs in technology, we've gone from replacable batteries everywhere, even with waterproof devices, to impossible or very-hard-to replace batteries, even in large, non-waterproof stuff such as laptops.
NGINX has now an own QUIC implementation? I have to look again.

Implementing QUIC seems no fun and there are almost no implementations. Almost everybody claiming HTTP/3 support uses Quiche under the hood for QUIC (besides some outliers and AWS who are one of the very small group of orgs who have their own QUIC lib). I was under the impression NGINX kept building on the current foundations with Quiche.

I don't use Android anymore but when I did I found the GitJournal app worked well to sync with git, then you could open the files with Obsidian.

That predates plugins being native on mobile apps however, so the built in Obsidian Git plugin might be better now.
The iPhone 5 could stay out of obsolescence if Apple were to continue offering replacement parts and repair services for its current owners. It's not that the device would stop working on a pre-programmed day - it's that the iPhone 5's out there would all eventually need parts and/or repairst, and would have no way of getting them.

Uh oh. That's a new one for me. I was taught about the idea of anti-requirements at some intro class at my university, but it was presented differently.

Instead of trying to probe your stakeholders with nonsense questions, anti-requirements were something you'd naturally come up with, and which you would include in the initial spec/design (and later keep track of). Their point wasn't about DDD or any tactical-level thing - it was to channel the natural... creativity of people during initial project planning into fences around project scope. It allowed and encouraged responding to "what about..." questions with a firm "no, we explicitly don't care about this" - so that later, when your developers start making vague hints about designing the shopping cart as eventually-consistent distributed object, or something equally "reasonable" from their POV, you could politely remind them that this is way past the fence and far on the pasture of out of scope, not doing that.

Of course, we had an exercise of coming up with anti-requirements, which went about as well as the TFA with its examples. Only now it finally clicked for me that anti-requirements, in the sense I was taught, are about documenting denials to most obvious hare-brained ideas - so obvious that they're likely to be independently thought of by someone multiple times during the project, and could lead to unnecessary waste of time and resources if attempted.

> there’s increasingly an expectation that students should come into a PhD program with one or more publications already under their belt. For top programs ideally these should be first author (not yet an absolute requirement but it’s more important each year).

This is something I discovered pretty late in my life. The web pages maintained by profs barely have any info.

I have come to hate the whole "everybody looks for different things" type of answer when it comes to PhD apps. I wish profs would just spell it out on their site in concrete terms what they personally look for.
Probably the most common use case is letting Avahi/Bonjour/etc. or DHCP work across a tunnel.
Unfortunately that's not the case. There are other devices (heaters, AC, etc.) that need power at different voltages than the primary battery, so there are switching converters. Some of those are rather noisy. One of the many youtube hams that also happens to have a Leaf points out that despite applying comprehensive body grounds, line chokes and other measures a Nissan Leaf's AC will zero out most of the HF bands when he is operating mobile.
