I also thought they suffocated but it seems more likely that they died in a fire.

"Analysts concluded that 23 sailors took refuge in the small ninth compartment and survived for more than six hours. When oxygen ran low, they attempted to replace a potassium superoxide chemical oxygen cartridge, but it fell into the oily sea water and exploded on contact. The resulting fire killed several crew members and triggered a flash fire that consumed the remaining oxygen, suffocating the remaining survivors."
It is not really what DevPod provides as they connect a code-server, jetbrains, remote vscode, etc. Sure, 'Toolbx' can do that to; you can install vim, etc. We advertise toolbox as "interactive command line environments on Linux" foremost. DevPod offers this on Windows, MacOS, beyond the command line. as you said, it is just a wrapper around a 'special' (custom images can cause issues) toolbox container and podman. The tool they offer is much more streamlined to use providers; targeting different environments. Note: Member of the 'containers' group on GitHub/Red Hat.
Possibly because they were closing in a wreck and a tether can get snagged

And I guess they were doing very close flyby, visibility down there is real bad.
But what about security?

I haven't really used it but from what I understood at first most of it is very elegant because at the time it was developped all nodes in a network could still be trusted.
Most European countries have laws that punch through a contractor relationship if it looks indistinguishable from an employee/employer one. So you need a legal judgement that your contract is written appropriately to avoid that

It's not hard necessarily, but you do need to get it right for each individual country. I can understand a company exec just not wanting the hassle.

You can employ through contracting agencies in the target country that handle all this stuff, but you'll still have a certain amount of pain when you run into different countries' Ideas of what is appropriate behaviour when firing someone.

Are they moving upwards and to the right in a 2D plane, with time as the X axis? Or are they moving in a spiral?

Something that’s falling rapidly is being likened to an aircraft that’s spiralling towards the ground. Is there a physical analogy of something that spirals upward?
If the difficulty is too low then the network becomes vulnerable to a 51% attack. If it's too high then it becomes less profitable to mine and transaction processing speed slows down. So it has to be high enough to prevent attacks, but low enough for mining to be profitable.
Whoa, it's just caffeine where I live. I don't think I've seen more than 10% of the team to use anything else.

It would be an interesting study, though.
That could work given how adorable the shelter dogs are. That will, however, required a dedicated person from the shelter to take care of content creation. It might be worth it ultimately though

> Why choose anything other than the pseudo-default Mastodon.social?

- Because might not be accepting new users.

- Because some other server has a local timeline that is interesting, perhaps catering to certain interests.

- Geographic: it may be closer to you.

- Language restrictions. You want to toot in certain languages, but some instances are English (or whatever) only.

- Some instances run hacked software with useful features.

> why would all problematic users congregate on the same server?

Because they behave in a way that gets them banned in other servers.
Only 1/7 of the data they are using is synthetic though. The other 6/7 was just filtered from a larger dataset, not refined in any way.
Would it make sense to task elixir and liveview to work only as a BFF with a separate backend?

Does it not being typed affect productivity?

If anyone with experience can chime in, that'd be very appreciated!
Yep, as we see it they compliment each other quite well. DevPod takes your workspace to the cloud and DevSpace let's you develop against your Kubernetes cluster - potentially the same one you used to start your workspace.

Internally we use both in our development setup, spinning up remote workspaces using DevPod, installing DevSpace and kind into the devcontainer, then using DevSpace to develop against the cluster. See the vcluster setup[1] as an example

We all project/assume based on the bubble we live in.

In my 18 years of in-house software dev experience (several countries, companies of different sizes), not once have I even heard (in the real world, not online) of people using any sort of drugs like the ones mentioned in the article.

I'm not saying that you're wrong. But based on my personal experience, I also could bet the opposite of what you're saying and feel just as confident.

In the West we arguably abuse pigs.. chickens.. you name it. In Asia they eat dogs, so why would they be treated like pets?
Also assuming that weight isn't an issue, the controller being $30 makes redundancy easy. Just like every other kid playing video games, simply have a second one in case the first one fails.

You can't stop this and likely shouldn't as you say, but still, this anecdote, if true, means:

- they didn't do a test dive first with no humans on board

- they didn't do a test dive with just staff, no paying customers

- the first "test" was to the full depth where the craft would be basically unrecoverable

- they didn't seem to even test these things ashore... Because you'd find out if the damn motor was on backwards!

If true, this strikes me as beyond amateurish and outright insane.

I was wondering how big pain is latency when using VDIs for example. Microsoft thinks 150 ms is OK: "If all frames in a single second take between 150 ms and 300 ms, the service marks it as "Okay."

I personally don't like WASM. I think the Native Client (which is more than a decade old today) was a much better technical solution. It used actual cpu native assembly bundled with a verifier, and had actual good integration into low-level platform APIs like graphics, threading, etc. instead of using this weird Javascript bridge approach. Due to it being native code from the start, it also had none of the startup performance issues, that plague WebAssembly.

WASI also seems like a wrong approach, considering it inherits the limitations
of WASM, like problems with memory, allocation and multithreading and hacks needed to overcome them.

VM-s are also kind of a wash for me too, since nowadays the most popular way to run software in a portable/sandboxed manner is Docker, which is NOT cpu-agnostic, even if you ran a JVM app in it, the bundled JVM would be CPU arch dependent.

Ask HN: How to generate URL in Asian languages?
I developed a micro SaaS tool. In this tool, people can add things. And it gives titles to the things they add. When you give a title, this title turns into a URL with a permalink.

For example: "Your Welcome" => "your-welcome"

But when Asian languages are involved, the system explodes.

For example: "这是一个例子。" => "这是一个例子。"

The website does not understand this and takes it to the error page. Call it "Zhè shì yīgè lìzi." If I could print it like this maybe it would work, but I searched and couldn't.

I tried with URLEncode/decode, still didn't work.

Maybe you know. If there are Asian entrepreneurs among us or people who have worked in that field, can it help?

Thank you.
Possibly. However proteins already use 20 (or 21) amino acids, and do post-translational modification of these. In addition, they use cofactors, metal clusters, and other ways to tweak the chemistry they have available.

As an analogy, it seem a little like a programming language - up to a point, adding more keywords and operators makes it more 'powerful' (all Turing-complete languages are equally powerful, yes). However beyond that you are just adding more specialised parts that could achieve the same thing with more, simpler parts.

I guess I am saying that the leap from, say a 5 amino acid alphabet to a 20 letter one might result in an explosive growth, but it is diminishing returns after that.
I was frustrated recently trying to book an expensive flight. My card was denied, and I retried several times — had I mistyped something? Should I have written "oe" not "ø" in "København"? Did it need me to make up a "state/province"?

Eventually I gave up with that site, and tried the same booking on a different website. It immediately said "Your bank has declined the transaction. Either you have insufficient funds in your account, or the transaction is above the bank's limit for this card." Annoying, but checking on the bank's website revealed there was an unspecified limit. The first site would have got the sale (with a different card) if they'd given me a clear error message.
That's fair and I share the sentiment to some degree, especially in "regular" systems. In the time period I used plan 9 I quickly got used to it though, and the method of interaction made me a bit slower and much more considerate. I liked it a lot. I still miss it. I'll probably try it again some time.

Same here. I'm maintaining a script which generate a file, sets up a loopback device and dmcrypt, then mounts the resulting map. Every of these operations but the mount can be done in a way that the kernel will remove them once they're not needed anymore, i.e. unmounting the filesystem leads to the dm-crypt map being discarded, leads to the loopback device being removed and the space reserved by the file being freed. This even persists past the exit of the script.

>I don't find these studies to be convincing. You give people a pill, they don't know what it is. These people don't know what to expect, they've never taken study drugs before. They're solving some random logic puzzle they've never seen before. "Participants had to work out which items to put into a bag."

How do you propose then to isolate what may be the effect of the drug then vs the participant subconsciously trying to act out what they think the drug is supposed to make them do?

I find myself agreeing with this sentiment lately, as a WebStorm user of many years. Little bugs and annoyances stay in the product, while every new feature has been unimportant for me — anecdotal, I know.

I particularly disliked Fleet. It resembles VsCode in looks, and that’s a very bad thing for me. No sense of hierarchy, of what matters, of what tools I actually want to see and where they should be.

But then I’d say the same for Apple and its software.
Well then they're not employees, they're contractors.

The difference is that in the former, they're a representative of my business, in the latter, they're providing a service to further their own business.
This is barely on topic, but "there aren't many submersible vessels in the world able to go so low" caught my eye and I will use this opportunity to throw shade on the US DoD as partially responsible for the lack of such vehicles in current day. Yes, I'm pretty salty about this one.

The small submersibles used for Titanic the movie for filming the wreckage were Mirs* and a marvel of engineering for their time. However "[t]he level of technology flowing into the Soviet Union raised concern in the US and Rauma-Repola [the Finnish manufacturer] was privately threatened with economic sanctions."

There was a BBC special on this submarine, and it features that $30 Logitech gamepad extensively.

At one point they were at the bottom of the sea and the gamepad just stops working, as in the mapping of the gamepad keys to the controls of the sub weren't working correctly. They were stuck spinning around in circles on the sea floor.

The owner, on a boat in the middle of the ocean, had to call whoever it was that set up the gamepad for him on a cell phone, while his team and customers were at the bottom of the ocean, to figure out how the gamepad worked. That person never answered. They eventually troubleshoot it and find out that 'left' on the gamepad was actually forward in real life and all of the keys were mapped incorrectly.

The software that they depended on was just as buggy as you'd expect, and having watched the BBC special, I would never get in any submersible that this team designed or touched.

BBC Special Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLI9SpUDdwo

BBC Special Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLOhOAJV5II

edit: apparently they were made private. You can find the show here on BBC Travel's website, they're the "Take Me to Titanic" episodes:

Part 1: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001d2ml

Part 2: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001d7b6

Some other horrors from the episodes if you can't access them:

- They didn't have navigation systems on the sub, so they were basically dead reckoning and trying to confirm their location with their team at the ocean's surface.

- They lost control multiple times.

- There were multiple incidents where they almost aborted the trip 16+ hours into it.

- It looked like they didn't even have voice or video communication with their team at the surface, they were communicating using text on what looked like an 1990's AIM client.

- It looked like everything was rigged together with consumer hardware, using older versions of Windows and custom software.

This is kind of my biggest gripe with Pine64 (beside the unusable modem in the Pinephones, which crashes all the time): the community. Every time I google something related a pine* product problem, there is at least 1 result from pine64 forum where the answer is along the lines of "if you don't like it, go away. we are happy with it as it is, there is no solution, and you shouldn't be seeking one. you are bad person for even asking. pine* is not made by apple/samsung, you can't expect it to do things".

I have quite a bunch of pine64 devices, but after I saw these interactions, I didn't even dare to ask anything nor to interact with them on any level.

What you describe is what I imagined university to be like but found that people were quite lazy and amazed that I studied during the course and not all in the last 24h. Kind of made me leave academic life too early in a way I feel.
Books are fantastic. I definitely would judge a person that has books for display only. It is easy to tell too.

Books are not only novels and the best sellers you find at airports. You can check a fact or a chapter of a textbook to learn or refresh some math problem. You can revisit your own notes on a margin of a novel. You can lend them.

Books promote curiosity. While they can be superficial I think dismissing them like that is just anti-intellectual.

Other posts in this thread say you can find the books online. As an example, I challenge anyone to find the Princeton Companion to Mathematics, a beautiful book, online. Not all content is always online, as some people think. We need books.

Additionally, physical books are more difficult to destroy than digital books, can be smuggled and resold, and do not have changing conditions or price of access. They also do not care what is the prevalent opinion of something they contain. Just a block of wood waiting for us to read it.

Now I feel like ordering more books today.

Edit: added the additionally part and grammar.

Hardware synths, in particular the varieties that Moog makes, are at peak relevance again and who knows if that will remain the case.

I've always been a sort of lazy high achiever and very puzzled about this.

I was always a near-top (but not top) student in schools, got a PhD and am now working in a high paying job in a bank. Besides one or two years during my university years, I've always been extremely lazy. On the other hand, in all of these institutions there have been many people who have been very serious hard workers and perhaps even at the time been ahead of me in whatever metrics the institution happened to use to measure success. However, over time I've noticed that these sort of things sort of even out. People who worked very hard in the high school or during my PhD are not more successful than me anymore.

I don't know if it's just that life is so random that the effect of hard work gets washed out by random life choices or what. It's also plausible that working hard just puts you in a very non-creative mindset and creativity is what gets most of the work done in a complex environment in the end.

For many people, hard work often seems to be an end to itself and it matters less to those people where the work is directed at. As a result, people end up working crazy hours doing stuff that could be done in one tenth of a time by using a bit of creativity or just waiting the problem to somehow become irrelevant.

Ask HN: Creative Commons license for forum posts and social media?
There has been a lot of discussions about alternative technical solutions (federation, p2p, open source etc) to recent trouble with companies that run various public forums acting in a way that’s not in the best interest of users. Is there an effort to approach the problem also from licensing side? I think one way to approach this could be to create licensing that makes sure users have possibility to take their posts and migrate if the platform tries to lock in user content too much.

Key points could be possibility to freely access your public posts via api. Possibility to migrate your own data by downloading and uploading it to new platform. Opt-in for allowing data to be used for AI training (think art forums). Perhaps possibility for user to redact data later (social media style posts).

At the same time this license could grant platform the basic rights to display and handle data to allow them to operate.

I appreciate non of the current companies would be interested in giving up their data, but going forward I think content generating users should lever their power and negotiate better deal with future platforms.
