Have you done this postgresql/RDS?

Because when I last tried it, the replica has to be the same major version (WAL streaming requires it) and then upgrading it to the latest version can take 10+ hours.

Definitely nowhere near 5 minutes downtime.
Not really, in what concerns application developers.

Only the Java/Kotlin userspace and the small set of NDK libraries are considered official and stable.

Anyone that ventures outside this path and isn't an OEM doing their own Android distribution, is on their own if the application actually works at all when deployed via the PlayStore, as the Termux guys eventually found out.
Personally, I use "regex" for the informal string-matching/rewriting engines found in most languages and "regular expression" for the formal definition.

I think it probably is, it seems like certain parts of the tech community has a more specific language for talking about things, and other parts have a less specific.
Their culture may be preferable, unless you mean just compatible.
i mean the latter (have z builds been allowed in the past decade), and i agree that it’s not fun over the long term but possible and in a lot cases sustainable.
Speaking from experience here - whatever you do, do not put them in a massive pile that covers your entire wall. Gravity (and cats) has a tendency to start a massive chain reaction bringing them all down.

Show HN: Simple Mermaid.js Parser Gem
Hi, folks!
Currently I have been working on kramdown-mermaid, an extension of kramdown for parsing Mermaid syntax, and now some of the syntax (ER Diagram) can be parsed with this extension.
A naive question here, should I not then in a unit test, test that an API library is called with specific arguments?

I am confused, wouldn't using simpler and "broader" tests miss test coverage on e.g. specific error handlers?
To some extent, the expansion of the university system in the 50s and 60s and 70s carried the seeds of it's own destruction. We've been in 10-15 year cycles of concern over the nature of tertiary education probably forever, certainly across my lifetime (I went to a 1950s/60s boom redbrick in the UK as a student) and in two continents (I studied and worked in the UK system, and worked in the Australian one)

Now, with degrees sold to asia for $18b a year (Australia) and a complete distortion of the public interest in study (degrees once expensive, then free, now expensive again) We're in a place where as this article says, the cost/value disfunction is extreme.

Tenure track chasing is it's own whole nightmare too
Self hosted postgres, not RDS.
Three phase in Europe (and most of the world) means 220V @ 0°, 220V @ 120°, 220V @ 240°, 0V (neutral).

There is 220V between any phase and neutral, and 400V between any pair of phases. I'm not am electrical engineer, but I think the car charger would be using 400V in this case.

If you're ever in a datacentre or factory in Europe (including the UK), you will probably see fist-sized red plugs and sockets to provide about 60A at 220/400V.

So imagine you buy some stock from of a public company for $100. It’s book value is $5. Do you get to immediately record a loss? What sense would it make? This is the same.

> current asset is what seems shady to me

Why? How? Do you believe all the things you don’t understand are somehow shady? Goodwill depreciates over time so you just incur the same loss just spread out over multiple years.

> at the time of the sale, a loss was incurred.

An asset is worth what a purchaser is willing to pay for it. There is no loss incurred until you sell it.
They said “basically,” so no need to nitpick. And I’m not sure about unbounded; surely it is bounded by a suitable exponential function?
Is it possible to test or access this model through a web interface or any other means?
It's not about "find" in particular, that was just an example brought up to illustrate the general point. If "find" was the only thing missing to bring Plan9 up to Linux usability standards, that would indeed be easy to fix.
> you can only read what you wrote once

In the way I’ve written it, yes. But you can open as many file descriptors as you need before you `rm` the file, and they each will keep their own position in the file. You can’t do a dynamic number of reads through the file (at least without dumping the contents somewhere else first), but a fixed number greater than one is absolutely possible.
I've never used these phones but from your post it sounds like the operation might be run by Apple or Google, to give free software phones a bad name.

It probably isn't, but the fact that it seems like a possibility isn't a great sign!

> $10/month for up to 100 users compared to Slack's $7.25/user/month.

> For a team to consider Linen, they'd have to get their Jira tickets in there, bitbucket/github hooks etc. as well as external integration with Okta/azure SSO etc.

Yeah, but those things cost money, usually per user, and with good reason.

Just comprehensive SSO alone is something that costs around $5/user/month. Sure, the Linen team could write it themselves, but it won't work anywhere nearly as nicely or as performant as signing up for an SSO service that works with everything a corporate uses for sign-ins.

So, yeah, it can be $1/user/month now, but it's unlikely to remain that way when they need to add in all the Slack functionality. It's also unlikely to remain performant when it matches Slack feature-for-feature.

At least in Germany that was a rational assumption for a large part of the 90s where for a few years they tried offshoring all IT related jobs, only to onshore them again later when it didn't work.
They could sell charge circuitry and battery packs to the big three. They’ve been wanting to sell batteries to people for ages. Given how much of the cost of a car they are, maybe that’s a reasonably profitable market.

I would assume legal compliance in more than one way. Some countries don't allow you to fire employees as you wish, you have to comply with worktime regulations, etc. Your ability to ask for noncompetes, or have the employee sign over their rights to all IP concieved during the employment may also be challenging. If you mess up, you might get sued in an unfamiliar jurisdiction. All in all, a whole lot of legal work that is only worth it if you can't fill the position otherwise.

Find is not simple - it's easy, but internally complex. It's fine to solve a complex problem with a complex tool, but it's troublesome when people mostly use it to solve simple problems. And the trouble is that this kind of approach spreads to every single component in the system, which means that we're using insane amount of code and cpu load to solve really simple problems on daily basis.

Plan 9 is not an answer to every problem, but it's just impressive how much it can do with so little code.
Thanks for the delightful read!

I would've also liked to know how hash maps are typically implemented in programming languages. For instance how the number of buckets is chosen and if buckets are added at runtime when the amount of items in the map changes. But I'll do some further research myself!

Wow, that's a radically different view than mine. Can you expand on your world view and your views on the value of life? It would be interesting to understand where you're coming from.
Two questions:

1. Whose role is it to make judgements about whether people should be able to find certain kinds of content?

2. Do you think modern recommendation systems are better at keeping people away from that kind of content?

The thing is, as of now, if a recommendation algorithm identifies you as someone that responds to that kind of content, whether negatively or positively, it'll show you so much of it that you think it's the entire world. Even if you want to see something else, you have to have the discipline to "train the algorithm" over days, weeks or months to break free.

I feel that any suggestion things are better now is just impossible to believe.
It is not indeed, but you will walk and speak with those psychos out there without noticing it
> The phrase "spiraling downwards" is common for something falling out of control, and is the correct usage here in terms of a degree's value. But can something also "spiral upwards"?

Absolutely, especially in economics. The cost of American college degrees is a great example, or the cost of American real estate. Both are rising and quite literally out of control.
Everything as a file was an interesting architecture in the 70s. The whole system was dependent on that model so it made total sense. In the 00s and beyond I thought everything as a service was a better model. Called through an API. Basically RPC. But even that has failed. It's very difficult to approach a new system from that perspective. I think you can design a protocol to say what the model of interaction should be for a resource but essentially demonstrate that with a single application rather than the whole operating system. Hard to convince an engineer otherwise but the pursuit of technical perfection is often what stops something from achieving it.
Which jobs did they offshore and then onshore?

From my PoV, the offshoring never stopped, seeing how many German companies moved SW dev to Eastern Europe. Most automotive SW seems to be developed in Eastern Europe nowadays and I haven't seen any large German company that doesn't have off-shore IT/SW offices in a low CoL country where most of the grunt work is being done, with only the bosses/management being in the German HQ.

Only recently it seems to have slowed down, as the wages there approached the ones in Germany thanks to US companies entering the market with even batter wages, so there's no cost savings to be made anymore for them hiring here.

Also, DW was reporting of German companies moving IT/SW dev to Africa now that Eastern Europe was all fished out of cheap labor.[1] So the offshoring never stopped it seems, and knowing how stingy German companies are with paying ICs and increasing their salaries, it doesn't surprise me. They'll do anything not to increase wages.

I redid the test several times! GPT4 consistently got it right, and gpt-0613 got it wrong every time.

Anecdotally gpt-0613 has generally been "worse" for me on non-function-calls (but equally-ish good and much faster on function calls), but I wanted a consistent test for it. Feel free to try and duplicate on the Playground though!
After staring down find(1) on an AIX system I regret not going down the du | grep path. At least that way I wouldn't be stuck trying to mash GNU's parameters into completely incompatible version of find.
Tax, work rights, compliance, labor protections and entitlements all get pretty complicated. Some countries have high levels of public holidays, rules around dismissal that get legally complicated in the case of downsizing. It's not simply a thing that can be handled by a SAAS.
While the banging noise may have other origins, it sure sounds encouraging to the rescue effort underway.

However, I struggle to see how the submersible (or, more precisely, its passengers) can be rescued in time - not only does it need to be located, it also needs to be brought to the surface and then opened; there is no way to bring breathable air into the sub from the outside bar opening the entry hatch.

That's a lot of work which needs to be done in the next, what, 30-ish hours or so.
Imagine being so close yet still not able to escape the vessel. I don't know what is standard for subs, but it strikes me as particularly terrifying that they have no way to open it from the inside.

It is, but for what it's worth using the mouse is much more pleasant than what we're used to ime. It's weird at first, especially with the teleporting thing but it works really well.

Also, if you're gonna try it do it either with a proper three-button mouse or with a large-ish and easy to press scroll wheel button. Otherwise it's really frustrating.
Question to RVers/van-lifers: is it conceivable to build a van that supports living in a Nordic/Scandinavian coastal city to sustain climbing through most of the year while also being equipped enough to go to Norway for snowboard trips in the winter months? I worry about humidity/condensation and rust mostly, but are there other things I should be mindful of?

I'd prefer the smaller size of a van to get to climbing crags even if that means losing out on shower opportunities although showering would be nice. Most skiing/snowboarding destinations I've been to do not seem to have dress rooms so I guess if push to shove one can always self-clean using snow brr

Yes, Eric S Raymond. He was well known in the late 90s / early 00s for taking credit for all kinds of things that he did not really contribute to.

> Are humans limited to low-risk applications like that?

Yes, of course. That's why the systems the parent mentioned designed humans out of the safety-critical loop.

The key difference is that when the human you're having a conversation with states something, you're able to ascertain the likelihood of it being true based on available context: How well do you know them? How knowledgeable are they about the subject matter? Does their body language indicate uncertainty? Have they historically been a reliable source of information?

No such introspection is possible with LLMs. Any part of anything they say could be wrong and to any degree!
I assume they just intersperse and/or use a special <IMAGE> token to prime the models appropriately. This has been done before by others training on e.g. HTML with <img> tags replaced with image tokens from a vision model.

nobody wants to die ('cept for people looking to suicide). The waiver is an acknowledgement that what they're doing is dangerous, and could cause them to die. As an adult, you have the right to accept this risk, if the reward for doing so is worth it in your eyes.

Unless, of course, if those signing the waivers were mislead.
Is that an open-source option?
I sort of agree. They're probabilistic. They do not converge to truth. They converge to the training data, but of course the training data itself is inconsistent and then also it gets worse because it can only asymptotically approach it with, what I imagine, seems to be a very slow rate.

In general, LLMs are fine for search relevance and vague summarizing, but unfortunately marketed by con artists. Scaling them up doesn't magically produce "sentience" or "comprehension" or "emergent behavior".
Cloud dev envs do not require millisecond latency. Typing is done locally. Latency only comes in at the times like when you go to open up a new file which isn't locally cached on your machine. Having to wait 200 ms for a file to open isn't so bad.

The big lesson Plan 9 seemed to have learned is that maintenance is a drag and a hinderance. find may be objectively better than du | grep for the user, but once introduced then the developers have to essentially maintain the same thing twice and carry that baggage forever into the future.

In a parallel universe where Unix did not take on so much baggage, perhaps it could have even naturally evolved towards Plan 9 and Plan 9 would have not been a necessary break. But then, like Plan 9, maybe Unix would have never rose up to see any widespread use to make that evolution significant.

Tradeoffs, as always.
That’s just not true and you know it. There’s many other reasons to hire somebody other than wages.

The most frustrating is reading somewhere, I can't remember, that there was some discussion about beacons after having lost comms during an excursion in the past. The conversation apparently didn't get there.

My first proper job in my career was IT for a maritime navigation company. This must have been around 2000, and we were selling these to normal people that have boats. I can't believe they did not integrate EPIRB into something like this triggered by an emergency trigger within the vehicle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_position-indicating_...

The facts that even if the unclear "7 ways" to surface in case of emergency, that a) the ship doesn't know where the submersible is located, which GPS would easily solve for and b) if it does manage to use one of these seven ways there's no way to exit the vehicle is absolutely criminal.
Our basement is somewhat humid so we do use dessicant. We use packets that change color when they absorb moisture [1] and they change color pretty rapidly, even in the airtight container. I keep meaning to rotate them for fresh packets regularly, but I think I've only done that once. The dessicant I've linked can be dehumidified in the oven, so it's possible to rotate and reuse them repeatedly.
