Initially, before 2020, I would often build examples equally for CentOS and Debian (sometimes Ubuntu, if it was a more GUI-heavy thing).

After 2020, I slowed introducing CentOS examples, and converted all my CentOS usage to Rocky Linux.

At this point, I will not be creating any more examples building on RHEL-like OSes, but I might still maintain some of my examples on Rocky Linux, we'll see.
amen to that. working with cloud infrastructure is like working with 2020 machines using assembly. there is a large, and growing, disconnect between the power of the hardware and expressivity of the underlying language used to unlock it
Please don't take my excuses the wrong way, since I wish the performance in software reflected the increased performance of hardware, but we are comparing the performance of an operating system released five years prior to the CPU it is being run on to the performance of an operating system contemporary to the CPU. A couple of other things to note: the comparison uses a bleeding edge Intel processor for Windows NT and, to try to be polite about it, a processor optimized for energy efficiency for Windows 11. (If the tests depended upon CPU performance alone, the benchmarks for processor in the Surface Go 2 are comparable to my 11 year old i5 3330. That i5 wasn't even a high end processor at the time.) The second thing to consider is that performance gains were much more dramatic back then, so even if we could test Windows 11 on a 2026 processor, I wouldn't expect such dramatic results.
The main output is JSON ProseMirror format. Other formats are processed from this JSON using Transformers and Vrite SDK: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite/tree/main/packages/sdk/java...

In the GFM transformer I try to follow GitHub Flavored Markdown spec, which technically doesn't support embeds. Since I didn't find any "common" syntax to use for the embeds, I just left them out. They're still there in JSON and HTML outputs.

That's one of the drawbacks of MD. That said, I plan to add an option like Markdoc, which has clearly defined spec for implementing custom blocks like embeds.

That said, for now, if you sign up for the full Vrite CMS, you can create a custom Transformer and process the output so that embeds are included in your desired format. That's what I'm doing for auto-publishing extensions for platforms like Dev.to and Hashnode. I don't know what your use-case is, but I thought it's worth noting.
Almost 7 years later, I am still using an Anker Powerline+ braided USB-C (C to C) 6' cable that I purchased for use with the original Pixel (1st gen) phone in 2016. It's the cable I use every night to charge my phone, and it comes with me when I travel. Never had an issue. Granted, I'm not using this in a challenging environment like i.e. in my car, but that's still pretty impressive durability with somewhere on the order of 2,400+ inserts.

I recently watched a junior dev casually add this hideously bloated and slow library so he could save an hour or so of programming. Part of his reasoning was that "everybody else does it that way".

And that's why modern hardware keeps getting faster while modern software stays the same speed (or slower).
Well, and perhaps more importantly, they took the Fed at their word that they wouldn’t raise interest rates, which they then raised.

Don't mess with food. We know what works, we've almost always made it worse: less nutritious (rolled oats instead of steel cut), less tasty (tomatoes, chicken), more vulnerable to die-out (bananas), or worse. Now you get Bill Gates and Monsanto advocating GMO / lab-grown foods for the masses. The market plan for the long-term on this is terrifying though.

Just... grow real food, eat real food.

The earth currently can produce enough food for everyone. The reason people go hungry in 2023 is because food rots on docks from government mismanagement, or goes into Dear Leader's kitchen and not those of his people, or a million other reasons that all boil down to selfishness, arrogance, or advanced forms of these same vices.

Apologies for the rant.

Took a "2 hour" take home project after several rounds of interviews. Actually took an entire work day. They checked it and discussed it with me. Next step was the recruiter telling me they are afraid I'm not a good cultural fit. Never again.

Why should you have to spin a VM for Redhat up in the cloud with the associated cost if no one is paying you for supporting it?

Doubtful, the philosophy of the company goes against Apple's way of doing things.

Apple likes sealed products that obsolesce in place. Framework likes the computer of Theseus approach.

Apple will have to start re-considering their approach though.. the EU has now mandated that phones need to start introducing replaceable batteries, etc.

There has been far too much e-waste. Why should one have to purchase an entirely new phone just because the battery wore out?

Just like Wikipedia, ChatGPT is great for generating leads, but you need to check the actual primary sources! How do people not get this?
I have a related issue to report: high power usage at idle(or should I say: no user interaction).

In the past it was understandable, because those primitive 130nm, single-core CPUs had to keep spinning since performance scaling was still a relatively new thing back then.

Despite all the advancements in the field it seems like more often than not each of those cores is up to something at all times.

First thing I do with a new Android device is to limit the number of background processes. This causes occasional crashes of some apps, but the difference in general smoothness is noticeable.

I've got counterfeit electrical goods on Amazon (solid state relay that was rated at something like 40A, but on opening it up after realizing it was counterfeit, found the electronics were only rated to something like 10A).

My org uses serverless to great success. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't. It's just so nice to create a function and know we don't have to configure any part of the server to know it'll run, and then the true benefit comes from the almost infinite-feeling scale we can get at a super low price.

Of course, serverless is a misnomer. But it does mean you have to think of the server much less.

> I'll save Coke and kill Pepsi. I prefer Coke's taste, packaging, and marketing strategies over Pepsi. Coke has a more classic image, and it brings me back to memories of my childhood. Pepsi seems to be trying too hard to be cool and relevant, which is not appealing to me. Additionally, Coke has more variety in its product line, with different flavors and diet options. Overall, I find Coke to be the superior choice, and therefore I will save it.

https://www.gptrolley.com/?left=Pepsi&right=Coke

> I would save Pepsi and kill Coke. I prefer the taste of Pepsi over Coke, and it has a sweeter and smoother taste. Pepsi also has a more diverse range of flavors, such as Cherry Pepsi and Wild Cherry Pepsi, which I enjoy. Additionally, Pepsi has a history of supporting various social causes and has been involved in philanthropic efforts, which I appreciate. Therefore, I have no hesitation in selecting Pepsi over Coke.

This feels weird to say, but, honestly, and I feel sheepish saying this, when it comes to technology stuff I'm an HN person first and everything else second, so I guess I get to say it:

Can I ask you not to say things like this? Specifically: this idea that there's a bar for technical stunt driving that we need to clear to get things up on the blog. I know I can't demand that of anybody; I'm just asking.

I can't tell you how many things we haven't written on our main blog because we're worried about whether it's as technically interesting as the "Gossip Glomers" thing we did with Aphyr.

Sam's a good writer and this is a pragmatic post about an approach he took to building something. The world is incrementally better with this post in it than without it. Holding off until we could have integrated LiteFS and written a 4 paragraph coda about sqlite3 internals would not make the world a better place.

I worry all the time about "Fly.io fatigue" on HN, for what it's worth! But the only sane response we can have to do that is: we just write what we want to write, and we let the community do what it's going to do. If 'dang gave us a header we could use to dampen some of our posts, we'd use it. :)

If I'm crazy to ask this, say so. We've been grappling with this for years now; if we knew exactly how to handle it, I wouldn't have to write weird things like this.
Honest question: you've never ran across a situation where varying business users are describing realities in the business which are inconsistent with one another in various ways?

Because there's this whole school of thought that you can code around inconsistencies using various techniques, higher levels of abstraction, rule-based code, and so on.

These things are all possible, so whatever example I give I'm completely sure that you'll be able to "solve" it in code.

The issue here, however is that when we fix these inconsistencies in code we're taking what should be a business or analysis decision and sticking it in the solution framework. That works for a while until you create some monster nobody knows or can maintain.

I want to help you, but this is a business event, not a coding one, so it's dependent on depth-of-knowledge and general intelligence of your business partners. I'll give you something trivial, with the caveat that there's not a coding response to this that's appropriate. That's the point of the essay.

Let's say you have three customers. For various reasons they can't be in the room at the same time, so you're stuck listening to them sequentially describe some new CRM system you're building. Customer 1 tells you that the system should maintain an estimate of the total value of the new customer in dollars. You add in a decimal field to the system. Customer 2 comes by later and says nope, we need international currency support, so perhaps you add a currency type (insert lots of various possible solutions). Later still, Customer 3 comes by and gee, what was wrong with those guys! We actually deploy in a lot of places where barter is used, so the future value obviously needs to be expressed in farm animals. Maybe you switch to a string, screw 'em. Or maybe you have fun doing lots of coding stuff. We coders can solve anything given enough code.

But that's not the point. The point is that these bozos have completely different ideas of what the heck the app is going to do and us coding around that isn't doing anybody any favors. In fact, we're hurting them. We're making a mess at the same time. This disagreement is a business one and they need to figure it out, not us. No amount of fancy coding is going to fix the fact that these guys are walking around with different mental models.

Now, imagine that scenario with 50 symbols instead of just a few. We see logical inconsistencies as coders that would never appear in a conversation if we didn't bring it up. That's a precious gift that we've never had before, mainly because until 50 years or so ago we've never had hundreds of thousands of coders diving into tens of thousands of domains and finding these problems at this level of detail.

As a programmer, maybe it's not important. Maybe it is. Not my call. Things I might think trivial are critically important and things I feel important may be trivial. I'm not the lawyer telling those guys something about the law. I'm a programmer. I make logically consistent stuff in great depth. I'm just a kind of mirror, a type of mirror that is completely new to our species.
My partner is veggie, but also into classical yoga, which includes a lot of theory on health and diet.

They believe that food we consume comes first from air/water/sun. Veggies grow in the sun and consume air/water/earth.

She doesn't eat mushrooms or other nightshades because they don't grow in the sun.

It is less about 'meat' and something much simpler... anything that comes from secondary sources, like cows eating grass, shouldn't be eaten.

Since lab grown meat doesn't fall under the air/water/sun conditions, it is an easy no for her.
I have had this concern raised, and I'm unclear how, if you adhere to that model of compatibility, that you don't effectively dispense with semver altogether and make every release a major version bump, as every change is breaking if you relied on broken or insecure behavior in earlier versions.

IMO it makes more sense to communicate the expected impact of the changes, so that downstream can read a patch bump as unlikely to cause issues.
Been following arwes since before the rewrite, it doesn’t appear to be out of alpha yet but it is still being actively developed.

Did they risk it? Even after it being obvious the lawyer was lying and trying to cover up, and not acquiescing to their wrongdoing even after all of it, all they had to pay was $5k.
Had great experience with Mobotix cameras in internal non-internet-connected networks. There are also models that can write on SD-Cards and such. But I didn't really shop around and compare, don't know how that supplier was picked.
Absolutely agree a VLAN is the better solution to block an entire network, and I do use one in my case (protecting my other VLANs). But I still need to explicitly block Amcrest cam because I also have an RPI on that VLAN doing image processing, which uploads to an external site; hence I can't block the entire VLAN.
Ah, makes sense. JS and its ecosystem do have a bit of a reputation in the tech community, but I suspect that you're right that even the complaints that have merit might not really matter much to someone not as worried about the finer points of professional software architecture. It's easy as a software engineer to get caught up on something like a giant node_modules folder that we forget that someone looking to write a visualization for their PhD research probably doesn't care at all about that (and rightly so!)

You saying that there’s no connection between a bunch of rich capitalists throwing away 250k a piece to go sit in a tube and the socio-economic disaster now hitting America head-on is part of the problem.

In pure HN spirit, that of problem-solving, I don’t see a reasonably quick solution to this, on account of that repressive nature of the current socio-economic regime that I mentioned earlier.

If they followed exactly the same processes (showing a screenshot of a text conversation saying "Is X a real case?" when challenged about the nonexistent cases) then I imagine they would have have been treated the same way. However they probably wouldn't have gone down that route, because they know "uhhhh I included those cases because my intern insisted they exist?" absolutely wouldn't fly. The difference is that they thought they could chance it because ChatGPT is a shiny, new thing that some people have a pretty mixed understanding of.
