Imo the harder part is learning bespoke build processes that you may not own in order to get software that assumes it can perform arbitrary network access or other naughtiness at build time to build successfully in a restricted sandbox.

The language is maybe a little strange at first but there's really not much to it.
It seems to be a Taiwanese server. With the tankie userbase on Lemmygrad, I'm not surprised someone's private server might get banned.

I can't read Chinese so I don't know what this person is saying online, but whether they're pro or anti China, getting blocked shouldn't be that hard with some of the userbase.
By abstracting away the countless ways a function can handle cleanups, you are providing a single, uniform interface that anyone can implement. This concept is akin to the usage of `.then`, where you agree upon an interface that allows people to execute asynchronous work. The syntax sugar of async/await relies on the existence of a `then` key, demonstrating similar concept.

That’s a shame. I think since M1, macOS is very slowly starting to become a more popular platform for ML thanks to the unified memory. A mac is probably the cheapest and easiest way to get access to 64GB+ of memory available to a GPU on a local machine.

Based upon how I manage my system, Nix appears to be something that I could use productively. The problem isn't so much of them being able to explain what the tool is, but one of them being instilling confidence that it lives up to their claims. We exist, after all, in an industry of hyperbole. It also doesn't help that their solution is layered on top of an operating system that has traditionally been managed in a very different way.
> There is no shortcut.

If I’ve learned anything, this is it. I entered the field without formal education, mostly because realities of the time, though I had been programming for years prior and done some light freelance work which probably gave me some advantage. Later on, this gave the the confidence (arrogance?) to believe I could “hack” my way around all sorts of bureaucracies, but I quickly realized how wrong that was. I regret not completing any post secondary education and unfortunately the way the education system is designed, at least here in the US, it just gets more and more expensive the further you are from the typical student demographic.

That being said, I don’t see anything implying the OP isn’t interested in completing a degree, just that they want to take a short break. Unless they’re particularly skilled, I do think that continuing their education will lead to much more and more interesting opportunities.

I used to love reading Post Mortems back in the early 2000s. Maybe it's nostalgia lenses but the problems and obstacles just felt so much more relatable and interesting. Now it's all market dynamics and marketing and tortured business mechanics and layers of artificial tech complexity. It's more depressing to read than motivating.

The thing to understand about this defederation drama is that the federated system don't create these stresses, they expose them in a visible manner.

Reddit has all these problems too, as well as any other big site like Facebook, etc. The solution there is a one-size-fits-all policy that generally, surprise surprise, conforms whatever the dominant culture of the company that created it is. I mean, what else would it be, right? No sarcasm. Then further modulated by the commercial interests created by the advertising-funded nature of the large-scale community. And especially because of that, the desire is typically to just shovel any conflicts under the carpet.

But these pressures are still there. They often seem to explode at some point. Reddit may or may not be seeing that now.

This is why I remain unsure and unconvinced that these one-size-fits-all communities can function as communities for the long haul. There's this intrinsic build up of stresses that will eventually overwhelm the system. Clearly they can function for a decade or two, since they have, but can they go beyond that? Yeah, in Internet time that may seem like forever, but it really isn't all that long or stable on human time scales.

You simply can not shovel the whole of humanity into one "community" and expect it to work.
Would Russia have sent some 'tourists' to grab this vessel from the crew?

As for the business, it’s 100% automated. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work at scale with everything else I have going on.

It’s also designed to simply be a fun thing for me and others to use, and isn’t really meant to be anything more than that, money wise. The price point, at the average use numbers, pretty much cover my costs. :)

I just wish I had this running when everyone was locked inside in 2020, I bet it would have been fun to use then!
Yup, that's him. And the remix in question spawned an avalanche of copycat "Slam Jams" and, in turn, a surge of geeky game/anime-hip hop mash-ups. For the past decade, the actual musical underground has been online. Axwell is just the start; one of these days, something in the lineage, and closer aesthetically to the pure deal, is going to break out, and people are going to wonder where the hell it came from. 30+ years of grassroots culture development happening right under everyone's noses, that's where.

Maybe, but I need some BTC to get there on my day off, I can drop by around lunch time and see what the rank and file have to say.

See, who said BTC has no use-case: it continues to fund independent journalism!

Whether you guys are willing to use it is another matter entirely, but it does stuff like this all the time that you are simply not privy to.

I'm calling your bluff, HN: I'll follow up with BTC address if this materializes and will report by end of day with what I found if you make it happen.

The structural problems for space vessels vs submersibles I might believe to be quite different.

In space the main issue is containing internal pressure - so the skin is all in tension.

While a submersible the pressure is from without - so the skin is all in compression.
Twice.

Both were really amazing for my career, and shared some common attributes.

- They shared project goals and documents with me from day 1, so all of us knew what the deliverables were

- Cared about my development, and were willing to make changes to deliverables to align well with my own future goals

- Never managed a large team, always mentioned that big team sizes are unwieldy and ineffective

- Praised my work in public and to other people. They would go to a meeting, where I am not present - and praise my contributions. I had people come up to me months later, because they had heard so many positive things about me from my manager
Scoped resources are essential for avoiding global singletons. The JS/Node ecosystem acts like (and often believes) globally-scoped singletons are a recommended pattern for things like database connections.

The reality is, there’s no better option at the moment.

Virtually every other ecosystem has concluded globals are not the best practice. (At least until we return to dependency injection containers where they are suddenly cool again but I digress.)
I have TDE 14.1 compiled under Slackware 15.0 running on an old Thinkpad X60 core duo. The slackbuild is linked to from the Trinity Desktop Environment build instructions on their Web site. Seems to run fine and fastish with a TDE base build plus tde-powermanager.

I was beginning to see a degree of slowness with xfce4 4.18, probably graphics related. I like a full desktop environment with all the apps.

(I didn't use KDE back when it was version 3. I found Gnome 2 good enough)
I have managed to get doom emacs working on termux. I presume the same is possible with vim.
"Using" -- a poor choice of keyword. It has been used for many years in languages like C++, C# (and now Rust) for namespace manipulation. Using the same keyword to declare an object destructor becomes confusing.

For a language like Typescript which borrows so much of its syntax from C/C++ it would be best to either make the same syntax mean the same thing, or instead make up new syntax. Call it "with" or "defer", or something else instead.

Also the syntax "Symbol.dispose" to denote a symbol seems overly verbose. Why not use a single prefix character like Lisp/Ruby ":symbol".
I'm all for accountability, but no investor is going to source information from Failory. They do no investigation and offer no unique insight; it's just clickbait blog spam. The same exact article gets posted ever few months here.

VCs expect a majority of their investments to fail. On a long enough timeline, all companies eventually will fail. A company not working out isn't necessarily a disqualifying event, and your comment confused generic failure and intentional fraud.
I like desktop environments. I actually use LXQT and Windows. I have lots of ideas of how they could be more powerful.

* GUIs aren't as flexible as command line or programming languages, but I wonder if there's some middle ground to add flexibility to GUIs. I think generating complicated data from a GUI would be faster than writing it by hand. For example, if AWS Console could be dumped to Terraform files. Or Visio to a JSON tree data structure.

* Would like the possibility to integrate multiple machines into my desktop environment, for example, I could configure a cloud credentials and servers in my LAN as part of setup and my desktop can coordinate other machines or servers. VNC could be configured automatically and Just Works. I would synchronize my files with the remote environment and index it ALL WAYS so that file search is incredibly fast because searches happen on a different machine, without slowing down my current machine with indexing or searches.
Also of note, the pressure differences are much higher in submersibles.
Your credit card is guaranteed by your personal finances and there are actual consequences for you if you default or declare bankruptcy.

It is weird to have a completely unsecured loan that is dischargeable by bankruptcy that won't cause personal loss for the owners.

You can be angry that people think it is weird, but if the best you can come up with is, "I am a big important person and it is industry practice because it is industry practice," you're not going to convince me it is good for the suppliers to have historically allowed this to come about.
That's a fun read. I've scored some interesting radio gear from the street and found that in the worst case, I can at least give it a good cleaning and pass it along, even if I decide not to fix it. :-)

Recently I started keeping a radio switched on in the kitchen all day, and the family seems to like it. I thought there might be complaints, probably from my teenagers, but I switch it to the pop charts stations a few days a week. And the kids are even OK with 80s stations and tunes they remember from the memes of yesteryear!

There are some interesting hidden advantages to having that thing on all day. For example, during emergencies like extended power outages, it's a very easy and reassuring way to get updates.

But it all started when I grew up listening to Dad dialing in his favorite station, KIXI-AM in Seattle, every morning at his office.

Got to work with a headache and too many projects to finish? Well, how long can you focus on those temporary annoyances while the dulcet tones of _Love Story_ play? (Andy Williams, not Taylor Swift)

(BTW if you like that idea, tune into Hayama Beach FM Japan streaming for the next couple of hours and thank me later...)

Hopefully my own kids don't feel too much pressure to check propagation on the bands with a handheld wideband receiver like Dad does on vacation at the beach, but I'm glad they get to experience what a good radio can do.
It works even if the brightness is maxed out(M1 Air), they must be leaving some brightness margin to allow for this to work on any brightness level - maybe except for outdoor lighting conditions? I had to blast the ambient light sensor with my phone's flash to get the screen bright enough so that the HDR content disappears. When the auto-brightness is turned off, you can still see the HDR content up until the top settings, just one bar down is enough to display it.

The switch from SDR to HDR is also interesting, when an HDR content is to be displayed it slowly fades into HDR. It must be tamping up the backlight of the LCD when tinting the SDR content simultaneously to create the gradual brightness increase effect in the HDR areas. The fact that the SDR area doesn't flicker when this happens, gives me the impression that the Apple do amazing screen calibration.
What I don't get about Apple is, why aren't things like that available out of the box? Why do I need a third party tool to be able to increase my display brightness?
My fingers are too big to write much of anything on a touch keyboard, so I have to make due.
I am not one for lots of government regulations, but I think that the company in question having some sort of contractual obligation to the person whose job offer they rescinded would be appropriate.

The idea that someone can quit their (probably high paying) job, maybe buy a home in a completely new area of the country for a job and then the company can just say, "Just Kidding" and have no financial responsibility (except bad vibes) seems inappropriate...
It is neoclassical economics. (E.g. the ones with the equilibrium models)

Neoliberalism is a political philosophy from the 70s akin to Thatcher or Reagan. A lot of neoclassical economics is intended to make neoliberalism look good but that doesn't mean they are the same thing.
Expand it past this one person and to the entire company: would you employ only people who don't believe in your company?

Obviously not. So don't hire one of them because they'll drag the other ones down.

People who don't believe in your company are less likely to stay for more than a year and less likely to think long-term about their work. People shouldn't be forced to crunch or be underpaid, but that still doesn't mean they should be complete mercenaries.

If you can't staff your company with people who believe in it, you have a different problem, which is: what's wrong with your company and can it be fixed?
You normally can opt out of the class action lawsuit and pursuit yourself. I see zero reason why these people would not want to opt out.
Whoa. I've seen some weird stuff on the Pixel 3 regarding how bootloader unlock is handled, and I thought I knew a lot about the Pixel 3 but I've never seen this.

Can you not finish OOBE? What is the actual effect of it being "locked" like this. Or does OOBE want you to login to the previous Google account?

(There is a bypass for that, and Pixel 3's can become bootloader-unlockable if they are updated and connected to the net. It sounds weird, but true). But I'm not sure this icon represents either of those cases.

I'm quite curious.

Actually, I think it is FRP. I can't remember exactly which bypass method I did but... This might help https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rpMv76zOcSg The method I used felt very akin to using the Win98 Login Help system to bypass login.

But also, Google's becoming quite inept at running Android. I've had it completely screw up notification handling where it says one thing, but does another - literally yesterday I missed several new WhatsApp convos because the system decided every new convo was going to be "silent" and hidden. I had major lockscreen bugs that took 5 months from "fixed" in Issue Tracker to being shipped. They've removed all ways (for me?) To direct contact Device Support (I'm 99% sure they advertised this when I signed up for Google One). And frankly they're useless and deceitful to communicate with, and often immediately want you to factory reset, which is awful because they've put zero pressure on the Android ecosystem to properly sync account creds, so it takes a solid two hours to fully reset a Pixel.

Oh right, and the multiple times that I had shipping confirmation of a return, and they even accidentally told me they'd initially received the device, but either had internet theft or just lost it and then put a $700 charge on my card for weeks until they finally fixed it. I'm still upset about that.

Luckily, certain "dating apps" that I use have all basically become web-based now, so I might actually have a transition path away from Android...

I try to mistake actively developed on for needs active development.

Some of the tools I like haven’t significantly changed for me in years. There sometimes is a “good enough” to software that I don’t need a developer to work on it endlessly for the rest of their life.

But I will say that my interest in this, it was dashed after your comment. This looks like a tool is complex enough to probably not be perfect.
it may not share common ancestor, but from your comment I assume it could reproduce with earth based counterpart. Thus it would be considered by the most popular definition to be the same species.

Humans have generated much more content to date than these models are being trained on. Facebook has enormous amounts of human to human interactions at its disposal, and presumably will continue collecting more and more. Likewise there will exist forums where humans write to other humans, like this one, regardless of the pervasiveness of spam on the internet. Finally, most LLM are trained off curated data sets that are not all encompassing of all written text. The process of curating the dataset is necessarily constraining and that means the data admitted so far must be much smaller than the data possible to admit. These analyses also assume we’ve reached a fixed point in the algorithmic ability of these models to converge.

I think the truth is we’ve written all that ever needs to be written, and even if they universe becomes populated by on AI LLM chat bots communicating, they will be fine to feast off of what we’ve left them as a legacy.

> Being a more fun-to-use Java?

That's fine. What I meant earlier was that both Zig and Rust are filling a very important technical gap. Both Zig and Rust are solving memory safety issues in different ways. Java is already a memory safe language so the motivation to move from Java to Kotlin is not as strong as the motivation to move from C to Zig or C++ to Rust.

An aspect never mentioned is that this data only fed from active users, which are the minority of people.
