So sad. Love F#, and Q# seemed like a natural extension, or at least brotherly.

At a high level, it seemed like F# is more functional like OCaml, than Rust is. I'd like to hear more about the reasoning, was it just performance? How different was it to justify a re-write?
I disagree. Should the Rust subreddit allow posts for the game rust? Would it not be unfair to remove them?

This applies to anything and everything. Subreddits were great because they could set whatever rules they wanted and you could just leave if you did not like it.
It was a recent Proxmox version (newest ~6 weeks ago). It's possible that I used some experimental new kernel version and haven't tried on completely basic/default setup.

The disks were Samsung's MZVL21T0HCLR-00B00. The pair with ext4 sw raid booted all VMs (Linux, FreeBSD) with no issues but second pair with ZFS pool wouldn't.

It may have been due to the newer kernel version but I asked myself a few questions about what's missing in FreeBSD's bhyve regarding my needs and took this route instead of trying default kernel.

Did you confuse “requests per second” (rps) with requests per day?
Yeah, this does seem to be the prevailing way in management layers.
I do not wear toe socks because my Vibram Five Fingers would be too tight.

Some 8 years ago I bought a pair of Vibram 5F and ever since they are my footwear of choice.

Walking the dogs, going on a flight, going _anywhere_.

You know that feeling at the end of the day when you walk in the door and kick your shoes off? And your feet go "AAAAAAHHHHH"?

Doesn't happen with the vibrams. On/off your feet don't notice.

Oh - and when they get a bit whiffy - chuck them in the laundry. Good as new.

Not connected to the company at all, just a very satisfied customer.
yes, replace your teenager mods with... more teenager mods for a future meltdown. Great strategy.
Let’s entertain the idea and pretend they “eliminated” Sony with this acquisition and, against all odds, all those Sony gamers jumped ship and moved over.

Well, I guess that would make Microsoft quite the monopoly then, right? Oh darn, everyone seems to have forgotten about Nintendo who sells more consoles than Sony and Microsoft. Oops, everyone also forgot about Steam with hundreds of millions of users who is also releasing consoles. Last, but certainly not least, Amazon just entered the streaming game space and, based the CMA’s recent definition (https://www.vgchartz.com/article/457194/eu-official-cma-over...), that’s 200m new streaming game subscribers.

At the end of the day this acquisition will suck for Sony gamers just like it sucked when Sony acquired developers and made their games Sony exclusives. This won’t make Microsoft a monopoly in any quantifiable metric, so I see no way the acquisition gets stopped by any logical judge.

If you disagree and think this can make Microsoft a monopoly then show me the numbers because I see 0 paths forward for Microsoft to do that without acquiring or eliminating Sony, Nintendo, Steam and Amazon. I know Microsoft has deep pockets but they are not that deep.
Maybe (as the article hints) we sometimes use attractiveness as a proxy for health, youth, intelligence, competence, and/or wealth (or fun). Maybe mass media have distorted our expectations beyond reasonableness. If instead we consider consciously what traits and background will likely lead to multi-generational success (by some definition), we can explicly seek those traits, and make a wiser choice, both in what we try to become and what we seek in a spouse, for example.

(After much observation, reading, and experience, I've written about dating and marriage at my non-sales, simple web site, noted in my profile, then one can click on "Things I want to say", "Life Lessons", "Dating and Marriage", for what it's worth. It has a religious background but I think can apply to most people.)
I see no mention of toes socks on their website, just a choice of "crew" or "ankle".
I have a brother who's 13 years old.

Before the pandemic, he was a pretty smart kid, around the top half of his class, with an interest in learning for the sake of learning itself. During the pandemic, classes happened online(microsoft teams) and almost all his friends were playing video games while teaching was ongoing and disconnecting if asked a question(Not chastising him here, I did this too at times ha!)

Back to school, he's been struggling with simple algebra and geometry, which should have been clear(in a normal scenario) a year ago. The desire to learn, has been replaced with other more short-term pleasures like watching yt,gaming etc. School teachers are ill-equipped to address this but thats a tangent I'll not go off right now.

My parents have hired a private tutor for math to help him address the struggles he's facing right now, because the school sure as hell wont.
> I was living in isolated suburbia so it’s not like playing outside was an option anyway.

Obviously not really addressing your childhood in particular, but this is insane to me. Isn’t playing outside the whole point of moving to the suburbs? I grew up in Brooklyn and we played outside all day. I have a hard time seeing how more space, more grass, and less traffic makes that not really an option. Maybe this is a generational thing?
dont you find the constant "grip" position your feet make while walking in flip-flops fatiguing?
Seeing this made me curious to test my pitch accuracy after a few years of not playing music and I've discovered that my mind's A4 is now closer to 423 rather than 440 and it's driving me nuts. Feels like the Berenstein/stain Bears thing all over again
If you think only in Mercator (e.g.), it's easy to fall into erroneous concepts. A great example of this came when, years ago, I had a business trip from Texas where I live to Dubai.

A friend asked, cleverly aware of the distance involved, if the flight went east or west -- because if you have Flat Map Brain, that's what you default to, right?

The answer is "neither."

The route went mostly north from Houston, crossed Canada and began trending south (without turning!) over / around Iceland; we approached Dubai from the north, more or less.

I remember the flight back home going over Iran, but it was at least a decade ago and regional tensions may have made them change that. This site

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAE211

shows them avoiding Iranian airspace now, but the flight path seems otherwise about the same.
If you can't do deb-src you aren't qualified to be a sys admin, at least not one that should be paid.

Being an amateur who landed a job and being someone who is qualified for the title are not the same.

>> No serious systems administrator is going full Gentoo on their entire setup. It's a waste of time and effort to do so.

This is a total strawman argument, but I'll knock it down anyway. There are professionals who actually do use Gentoo on their local machine. The local machine (a laptop) doesn't do any compiling, there is a server that builds the packages.

I was actually using Gentoo myself for a couple years and all my packages were automatically built by a cluster of servers using distcc, so any build job was done with something like "make -j128"

Because I knew how to use Unix-like systems properly and having a dedicated build server, Gentoo didn't cost me any time, quite the opposite actually, because Gentoo is flexible with package versions and everything tends to just werk.

>> That's not how sysadmins people get their software, though.

For those of us contending with PowerPC and ARM, it is half of how we get our software, the other half is we have already automated the process and a cicd pipeline has built the software often before we as humans notice a new version is out.
I’m a researcher in the space exploring few ideas with the intention of starting up. Would love to reach out to you and talk to you. Is there a way I can contact you?

TFA = the f'ing article, something quite commonly understood on HN for time immemorial. Its snark is borne of the community's distaste of the kind of people who dive into comment sections without engaging with the very subject of and reason the comment thread exists in the first place. The fact you don't recognize this acronym calls into question your authority on what HN can or can't handle. But anyway, that's beside the point.

We are (well, I am, and TFA is) not talking about epistemology so much as the public's inability to engage with epistemological problems on systemic scales. Instead the limits of human psychology control how we as a society respond to these issues. Your argument is a distraction that remains uncontextualized within the conversation it finds itself in.

People are not dumb animals but you won't be able to engage anyone toward a solution on the basis of an argument about how they just need to understand more about epistemology. That's the kind of thing that people can only internalize via empirical means.

At this point it feels like you're being deliberately obtuse. I've been quite clear about the primacy of human psychological limits as the main aspect of the argument and you simply refuse to engage with this point. You haven't been very good about adding to the conversation, only diverting it.
Partially, yep. The more important part is that these Docker images run on a remote machine
Using for profit =/= selling
I think the big thing to note here is that kids don't intuitively do Schenkerian analysis on the music they listen to. I agree with you that a lot of music has a lot more internal structure than most people think, but it's reductive to say that dissonant music contains only "expected" pitches (as heard by an untrained ear).
How does that work out with the GPL?
I trust the assessment of the ACLU about this kind of law, but I will point this out: almost EVERY time you see an instance cited about how some "woke" ideology went wrong, if you follow up the original incident you will see there is more to the story.

For example, in this article they cite Glasgow police arresting LGBT protesters because of their sign. Read the link, here is what happened to the protestors from their point of view:

"Bradley detailed the incident: “We went to the front of the march in an attempt to lead it ourselves. We were quickly jumped on by uniformed officers. I was wrestled to the ground, cuffed in a very painful way, and taken to the side, my friend was held in a chokehold and another was arrested too. We were charged with breach of the peace, and let out after seven hours in custody.”

Another queer activist arrested on the day, Rob, related his experience to Dazed. Rob says that after activists unravelled their banner they experienced “immediate aggression” from officers. Two activists were pinned to the floor, with more eventually cuffed.

“The officers proceeded to detain us by pinning us against a fence nearby with little to no explanation of why,” they explain. “It took them 10 minutes to decide we were being arrested after alternating between excuses – initially I was told it was because I told a cop to ‘fuck off’ through the megaphone, though videos show no swears leaving my mouth throughout the entire action. Later it was decided we were disrupting the peace.”

The explanation that they were arrested because their sign said "f**ts" was what the POLICE said was the reason why.

Grains of salt all around, and a recognition that reactionary forces will have no qualms about exploiting the appearance of "woke gone wild" to defend their brutalist tactics.
I am not American, but I have a master's in American history. I stand by what I said.
Although I'm never offended or anything when someone asks me to take my shoes off, I'm always uncomfortable doing it. It makes me feel exposed and vulnerable. As a result, I'd never ask guests to remove their shoes (even though I wear slippers in my place).

It's an oddly sensitive topic, though. I've seen people get offended at being asked, and I've seen people get offended because guests didn't automatically take their shoes off without being asked.

Weirdness all around.
>perhaps the Reddit staff can moderate for now.

I hope so. Put their money where their mouth is if they want the rules they refuse to put in the TOS.

But from your POV, we both know that won't happen. They just recruite more power hungry, egotistical jerks because it's cheap. And you'll continue to hate them.
I already provided one. Where's yours?

The bill has been criticised by representations of the UN Human Rights Commission and TDs from different political parties.

As an Irish person I find it infuriating that the Irish Council for Civil Liberties would approve of a bill which criminalises even unintentional "hate" speech with up to 5 years imprisonment but fails to even define what "hatred" is. The bill can't even coherently define the protected groups like 'gender' either.

It is all but guaranteed to be misused to target journalists and political dissent. We are likely to see Sinn Fein take power in some capacity soon. With laws like this soon to be on the books I think people have every right to be worried.
Is this potentially the reason RH won't be providing public sources for RHEL any more? RH's bread and butter is USGOV. NASA using a direct competitor that can only exist by rebuilding RHEL sources, and this use becoming easier isn't great for them.
Ah. Yes, that’s quite a bit more specific than what I imagined from your initial description.

Doesn’t that mean that you have to unhook all your references from the world at the end of the callback and find everything anew at the start of a new one? (For the most part, of course, that would mean that both the runtime and the plugin would end up using as few references as possible.) What could a runtime want to change in the meantime that pays for that suffering?

I can only think of keeping callbacks active across restarts and upgrades, and even then allowing for parts to disappear seems excessive.
Yep, you use it as CREATE FUNCTION do_something(some_option custom_enum). The main use-case is not putting them on tables.

Relational algebra has the concept of enums builtin (as long as they all have the same structure). You create them in databases by using foreign keys.
Most people just want to get high, and they do (no one is stopping them), but they are forced to do so at vastly greater risk than if it was regulated. There will always be some people who want to push the limits, but we have ample evidence that, even given near-universal access, most people are pretty picky about the drugs they consume. Lots of people like to smoke a few hits off a joint. Comparatively very few people want to dab. Most people enjoy a beer or a glass of wine. Comparatively very few people like to take shots of 151.
This is essentially the premise behind Generative Adversarial Networks, and if you've seen the results, they're astounding. They're much better for specialized tasks than their generalized GPT counterparts.

Cool stuff. Perhaps associated with Bloom's 2-sigma problem. Kids can learn all sorts of things when provided with consistent mastery learning.
I agree that transparency is important, but I don't agree that transparency can be necessarily mandated.

In the case of open-source technologies, those are inherently transparent and this is great, but unless something about software is drastically changed, nothing is actually required to be open source, and due to this tradition it would require radical change in all software standards to mandate everything to be open source. Companies like Apple and Microsoft would likely not exist or would exist in a much different form.

My fear is that being overly scrupulous about mandates on open-source will drive every software project to be closed source, which is antithetical to the desire for greater transparency. Companies are entitled to their trade secrets, which is enforced by a great deal of legal tradition in the US.

Furthermore, the first amendment prohibits mandates about the design and algorithms involved in software development, as the 9th circuit court of appeals has upheld the status of software code being protected speech under the first amendment.

I think this article touches on some really good ideas, but ultimately I think mandating ethics and transparency is like mandating altruism and public disclosure of trade secrets. U.S. legal tradition doesn't really allow for that in the framework of business.

The best we can possibly do is regulate to define what outcomes are acceptable, rather than regulate design standards. Regulating design is really a non-starter .
Or better yet, don’t use dynamic allocation at all! Very happy when I’m on a firmware/embedded project with no dynamic allocation, it makes C halfway enjoyable… though extremely boring.
Games have changed significantly though. I feel like the PS4 in 2013 was the first games console to make online gaming widespread. Playing a self contained game by yourself or in person with friends is a very different experience to loot boxes, IAP’s, and games designed to make you play more and more. Maybe it’s not impactful but I don’t think you can dismiss it as easily as you have.
This discussion would probably be improved by being specific about what information will be transferred instead of saying "personal information".
I was planning on doing this, but wasn't entirely sure how much of a bottleneck the CPU would be especially in some sort of encrypted raid setup...
I don't know where you are coming from; everything I'm saying is entirely consistent with how the industry (I work in IT and "local filesystem" and "remote filesystem" are terms we all use, including with our storage vendors) talks about storage.

Here's an example paper comparing filesystems and their performance for precisely this kind of problem:

I don't think one can own a sketch license anymore can? I believe they switched for a subscription model.
Gigapixel is no longer in active development, they’re focusing on Topaz Photo AI (which rolls all of their AI photo tools into one app, including upscaling) and Video AI. Both are pretty decent considering they’re just recently out of beta, and they do roll out updates with fixes and new features fairly frequently. I’d say they’re both pretty good at what they do but on the photo side you can definitely get some decent results using free tools and models if you have the time to play around.
Kinda? It's still arbitrary which one we think of as "up" and which we think of as "down," though, right?

I’m not an expert on this, but perhaps it’s the usage of that data and linking to a person that crosses the line.

A web server’s logs may include the IP and http request they’ve made, but once you start attaching that to an identity instead it might count as data processing.
How about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts? Scary & aggressive, but the quantity of collisions avoided is amazing [with those driving habits].
Correct, most sys-admins use binary packages. However if a sys-admin finds maintaining packages for other CPU architectures difficult, like they can't handle something very basic like "uname -m", they aren't qualified for the role.

Whether this is "harsh" or not doesn't change that it is true.
Why does it need to be "certified?"

You have an existing car with an existing title and registration. You replace the motor and drive off. What's the problem?

Then again, I live in MN, which doesn't have vehicle inspections.
"I find it hard to believe RHEL will get away with this. I hope the Linux Foundation weighs in"

I'm curious what role you think the LF plays here, or what they'd do to prevent Red Hat from "getting away" with doing something that is entirely within Red Hat's rights to do.

The Linux Foundation is a trade organization. It was created from the merger of the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and Free Standards Group. The OSDL was funded by several large corporations - including IBM, Intel, HP, Fujitsu and others.

LF wasn't "bought" by IBM and others. It was literally created by them. Granted, Microsoft is a newcomer (relatively speaking). But the LF is and always has been a trade organization that supports the interest of companies that want to do business with open source.
Give him a globe! I remember playing with a globe as kid and trying to position it so I could see only water. But that is just one option.
My kids go to a charter school.
They went very hard on the online learning during Covid. Crazy amount of assignments. Lots of online time.

As parents the workload was totally overwhelming to stay on top of everything.

They ended up going back early because the test results were just atrocious even with how hard they were pushing.

My wife teaches kindergarten there. There have been massive problems with the kids that came in that missed preschool during Covid. No idea how to share or interact with others. Had to spend a lot of time with basic life skills.

Lots of students that had severe mental problems / disabilities that were completely missed since they missed preschool. Basically shutting down entire classes for months while various testing and placements were handled. Lots of “Jimmy is a genius” 4 months later. He has an IQ of 50.

The masks also destroyed many students. Many highly depressed kids became happy cheerful kids once the masks were removed.
To paraphrase The Economist, "This device is amazing, and now Apple needs developers to figure out what it's for."

> it was easier to reach an admin when needed than now, heh.

I hear ya. But in their defense, the regulatory environment is way worse now, and back then as an admin we all pretty much knew about every ongoing issue. A current admin can't just answer you back without possibly running afoul of either a regulatory issue or an ongoing project in another group.
That sounds about right - for an English-language-only message board startup that mostly ignores laws outside of a 100-mile radius of the bay area.

Narrowing focus to just engineering: how would you allocate 24 engineers across infra (networking, storage, scaling), backend (API, features), web frontend, design, mobile (iOS & Android), security, ads & monetization, Abuse & internal tooling dev? Or would you allocate 1 or 2 individuals to each (working 60-80 hour weeks) rather than teams (3-5 people, minimum) + line-managers & product folk. Add QA and you realize "2 dozen engineers" isn't a lot, the devil is in the details.

I was being charitable on 3-member teams: noone wants to be on an on-call roster that's only 3-engineers deep. Each of the areas I highlighted likely has multiple teams rather than just one (e.g. infra can be split into parthensized teams - networking, storage, operations/ops), and I intentionally completely ignored R&D functions.
Pretty much what I expect from a union fighting a society who refuses to value the work that they do.

I really have a hard time blaming teachers for anything. We (America) seem to expect them to perform miracles. We are not their "customers", public eduction is not a business, but we insist on treating it like one. We get what we deserve.
I love Penpot!!!
