I was setting up FreeNAS, TrueNAS or something similar (FreeBSD-based) for a client years ago and they required utilizing all SATA ports for actual storage and booting from RAID flash drives. They made A LOT of backup copies of these USB sticks and were told to make new copies after system upgrades and reconfiguration.

Last time I had any info from that site - it worked well for them.
This is incredibly sickening. This is women teaming up with a technology company to extract money from vulnerable, mentally unwell people suffering from some combination of soul-crushing loneliness and delusional thinking. Even if some customers are aware that they're engaged in delusional thinking, this is still nauseatingly exploitative of a comparatively lower socioeconomic class, one that may be suffering from mental illness.

I see very little difference between this and those infomercials that sell wildly overpriced mass-produced crap to the elderly suffering from cognitive decline.

I've bought a pair of toe socks some time ago and will definitely buy more.

I've also started to wear barefoot shoes with widened toes some years ago, and I can't go back to my 'normal' business shoes anymore, my feet start hurting within an hour because my toes positions started to be more parted.

Running with them is quite challenging though, the technique to land on the front of your feet required to minimize shocks on the knees and hips but a lot more strain on the calves.
As someone into Buddhism, I'm more in the "if you can tell a story about it, it isn't real" camp. The 180 degree polarity just struck me as amusing.
It takes two to tango.

The problem with industrial unions in the US is not so much the salary and benefits paid to one, or even to a set, of individual workers. It's the demands by the union to maximize union membership (and dues) that make it impossible to take advantage of improving efficiency (which could lead to fewer employees).

The story I've heard...was that steelmaking in the US went into decline after WWII, because US mills weren't destroyed in the war. USX, Bethlehem et al. kept making steel using inefficient prewar methods, with equivalent staffing costs. Foreign (ex-Axis) steelmakers invested in brand-new, more efficient methods to replace what had been bombed, and these new mills gave them a cost advantage.

So why didn't the US mills upgrade? Because their contracts with the union more or less made sure that no matter how many fewer staff it would take to run, the number of United Ironworkers members on the payroll would never decrease. It wasn't worth the capital cost to upgrade in the '50s-'6s, and by the '80s, when it would've been, it was too late.

There was a possibility, if the unions were a bit more farsighted, to accept a gradual drawdown in staffing, and consolidation of job definitions by attrition, with no real loss of individual wages or benefits. But that never happened.

A similar dynamic occurred in the auto industry...labor (and the UAW is a bad, bad, bad, union for this) was very short-sighted, and Detroit purchased peace with them at a very high cost in terms of productivity per worker; partly because they had the money to, partly because it was seen as a necessary evil, and partly because the idea of being more efficient in operations was seen as intractable-they didn't listen to Deming when he first started to talk about it.

low interest rates, easy to hire and scale.

Granted, I have no idea what scalability Reddit has done in 2 years. You can even argue it didn't need most of it (some, sure. Pandemic did surge traffic).
Have you done much work on using GPT to *edit* code in an existing codebase? That's been my focus lately, working on my open source GPT coding tool [0].

Generating new code from whole-cloth seems like an easier task for GPT. My tool can certainly do that, as can smol-developer, etc. But you really only do that "once" per project.

Can folks use gpt-engineer to modify and extend the code it has already created, as the user comes up with new features, etc? Can it be used to work on a pre-existing codebase?

The form factor of the Quest Pro helps with that quite a bit, where you're essentially wearing it like a hat, and the sides and bottom of the device don't contact your face or seal out all the light. There are notorious stories of people punching through walls or TVs playing VR games, but being able to see the room in the periphery is both less distracting than you'd think and gives you enough spatial awareness to not really have those issues.
Are you using "resist fingerprinting" in Firefox? I've noticed that causes mystery total blocks or additional "click and hold to show you are not a bot" challenges on many sites (Fedex, Kickstarter, Walmart, Lowes) and at random. Often it seems in some backend XHR that the app writer didn't think to handle bot blocks on, so the page half loads.
I agree. There's no reason to feel bad for such employees. They've chosen to work where they work, and I assume that they're happy with that choice.
My instinct is that this entire product is basically a dev kit for whatever Apple wants to release in 10-15 years. Get something high quality in peoples’ hands and hope the use case bucket trickles full.
What genocide? Volkswagen's morally expensive bet on China
I feel like this is one of the things that Gergely has sensationalized recently to drive attention. This started with a bunch of tweets which amounted to "why wasn't I told about this immediately". I suspect that this decision was made at exec levels with the lower levels asked to work out the details which obviously resulted in a delay. As a Google Domains customer, this wasn't particularly problematic. It's just a big company getting its ducks in a row which takes time.

It's self-evident that acquisitions can happen and that data will be transferred as a result. Most most attention is typically on other aspects of how Google handles data and this seems like an attempt to latch onto that.

I personally feel better about basic data security and processing under Google than I would under a company like Squarespace. I know Google have faced nation state attackers so they've got some security chops. I feel that they'll enforce reasonable contractual requirements on the purchaser, but those won't override Google being a safer bet with the basics.
Can I view it without creating an account?
> It also turns out that if you remove all the fancy abstraction and write everything out, the code becomes very maintainable and easy to manage.

I was with you on everything until this part. I just don't see how reducing soundness via a weaker type system, and needing to explicitly manage memory vs e.g. Rust, uniq_ptr, shared_ptr, and so on makes things easier to maintain. I also don't see how absence of generics helps here either.
HN is basically just that and it's mostly one guy moderating everything. I'm sure there's a few more for tech stuff but HN hardly ever changes and still feels like 2010, but that's the beauty plus it isn't monetized other than promoting yc companies, etc.

Reddit should be ran more like HN or even craigslist. Ppl never wanted a js heavy UI change. they liked the bare bones old school aesthetic. It gave that feeling of nostalgia, one of the last early web apps.

If Reddit never did a redesign, never hired more staff than really need, they'd definitely be profitable by now.
Kind of amazing that the more water goes into something, the better it tastes. You would maybe think the opposite.
Interesting. Since I'm behind Tor I will probably pick my own https client for sending json requests, instead of trusting this python client.

How will you ban bad actors if there's no keys and no registration?
They call these kind of games "chocolate covered broccoli" and I totally agree.

I think games, have lots to teach, but that most of the time they are a catalyst for learning or inspiration to learn, but on their own, they will rarely actually teach you. It's hard to put the finger on it, as for example, I'm not a native English speaker, but I learned and practiced most of my English from playing video games, and they were the catalyst to make me WANT to learn English, but they didn't exactly *teach* me English.

Another part of it, is I bet if you sample today's scientists and engineers at places like NASA, you'd probably find that a lot of them loved watching Star Trek/Star Wars as kids. So while sci-fi hasn't taught them how to work with Schrodinger's equation, it probably had a major part of what sparked their motivation to get started. Games probably do that too, and then some, thanks to interactivity.
No only are there ethical and privacy concerns about how we use your data, we're also now completely untraceable!
And the majority of the new car market (including electrics!)
This is different from subcontracting, though, because Google Domains is being sold in its entirety and will no longer be owned or controlled by Google.

Once the data is in Squarespace's hands, what's stopping them from using it for marketing purposes? The customer data obviously has marketing value. Google's announcement says that after the "transition" is complete, customer data will be handled subject to Squarespace's privacy policy, which (naturally) gives Squarespace permission to use it for marketing.
Before blaming unions, you might want to look at performance of students in districts that don't have them.
Plenty of publicly traded companies have free APIs allowing third parties to build the same front end and sidestep their primary source of revenue (showing users ads)?

To clarify - I am not a fan of Reddit’s latest move, I see it as a product of the management hoping to soon be beholden to Wall Street. That necessarily comes with securing of revenue streams.

Fair enough. But the point is geopolitics, not what is right. The USA would not tolerate China in their "sphere of influence". Krushchev and Cuba learned that. Russia is a nuclear power. Policy makers in the US State department should remind themselves of this fact however inconvenient.
> If you're going to IPO you need to show growth. It's the most important thing.

I think you're in a chicken and egg situation here. The reason you want to see growth is because as an investor you suppose growth is a good indicator for future profits. So the most important thing is actually still... profits.
I got a balance board for that. Mats like others suggest help, but the shifting makes it much easier for me to stand

It is only "illegal" in an abstract sense. It's play-acting, so we can pretend we're doing something good.

106 users yet over 400k posts.. can anyone speak as to the quality and sources of most of that?
Depends how invasive / unpleasant the needle biopsy is. If it can be taken from an animal with minimal pain (using anesthetics) and the animal otherwise lives a life comparable to animals in farm sanctuaries, it seems pretty much ethical to me. Though even if it's very painful and has to be done without anesthetic, I'm guessing the overall suffering from lab-grown meat would still be way lower than conventional meat (so I'd prefer it theoretically, but avoid it practically).

I like plants just fine and don't care enough to pay the [currently] higher financial / environmental costs of cultured meat. But if it were offered to me I wouldn't take moral issue with it, and if I were ever in charge of caring for a carnivore (ex. a cat) I'd pay a lot to get cultured meat instead of conventional meat.

If for some reason I ever had to eat animal meat again, I'd 100% choose cultured meat.

[More pressing ethical question for me: if I think cultured meat is a technology that could be super important to reducing factory farming, is there an ethical obligation to financially support it? If not buying directly, then maybe donating to something like the GFI]
It feels like there's an easy fix for this too. Instances already have an about section. Simply add a short form version that can be used in circumstances like this.

That it can be associated with zealots... go find me a label that couldn't.
That `clear` on a slice sets all values to their type's zero value is going to be extremely confusing especially coming from other languages (Rust, C#, C++, Java, ...) where the same-named function is used on list-ish types to set their length to zero.

Doubly-so when `clear` on a map actually seems to follow the convention of removing all contained elements.

Likewise, knowledge of effective hijacking prevention techniques could be relevant in defensive program and system organization.

I don't think his point is very good because array overruns in a heap can be exploitable. Lisps (and other kinds of run-times) don't necessarily separate code from data in their heaps.

That sum to me is both physical and not nonsense, and I think your interpretation is wrong. 1 radian/second != 1 s^-1, but instead ≈ 0.159155 Hz. This is from interpreting a radian as a ratio, in which "doing" one radian in one second is only going over 1/2pi of a whole in a second. So 1 Hz + 1 radian/second, physically and sensibly to me, means ≈ 1.159155 Hz.
School choice so that people can vote with their feet seems reasonable.
Ill bet most of these kids whose test scores were terrible had at least a few lessons on pronouns.
Makes sense, and I think many people fall into that category. Saying "there's something intoxicating in math" and that you enjoyed the roller coaster of a logic class already excludes one from the situation I am describing.

My comment was too judgemental. People should be allowed to say that they enjoy something without any follow-up and without being judged for it. I think that sometimes it just seems like a facade when people say they really like math because when you try start a conversation on the topic its like they're not actually interested in it at all. It gives the impression there's something disingenuous about their proclamation of liking math. But perhaps its just the way I personally have approached it.
There are cultural differences.

Where I was born in a European country, it was positively unthinkable. Nobody ever wore outside shoes inside. In fact, my grandma would be upset if I set in my daily jeans upon my bed - jeans that set in school seat, street car seat, benches, dirt, etc, should not be in contact with where I'll sleep.

In USA and Canada, it seems to largely be an instinct to say "Don't take off your shoes, please!" out of politeness.

I think there are other aspects too, though they get fuzzier.

In my country/childhood, kids were discouraged from playing on the floor in unfamiliar places. I observe less of that in Canada. Most dogs were "outdoor animals", whereas here dogs are pervasively inside. Many people sleep with dogs in their bed!! Completely crazy to me and completely normal to my Canadian wife :-)
Apple expects to sell 150k units next year. I'm sure there will be a couple of popular apps, but beyond those couple, what is the financial incentive to develop for it?

But our outdoor shoes are too hot to wear inside. They are also heavy and so a relief to get that weight off your feet
First shoes in this context is outdoor shoes, that doesn’t mean being barefoot.

Second northern locations tend to have properly insulated and heated indoors, rugs, possibly floor heating, … when the cold is common it’s easier to spend more on heating and comfort. For instance in Japan central heating is only common in Hokkaido, maybe also Aomori.
