I understand that. IMHO macOS should have both Maximize and Zoom as they do different things and serve different use cases (Apple seems to think that if you want Maximize you actually want fullscreen, which kind of makes sense in a way, except not, e.g when one wants to still be desktopish and rely on cmd tab or cmd backtick, and because the fullscreen/tiling/spaces is crappily implemented for power users)

Now, in practice, Zoom is really nice when it works (I'm using it all the time with Finder+ windows), the problem is that it takes a single app not providing the content size hint for it to break and make it confusing. And then a vicious circle starts where more apps don't care about what it's supposed to do, and before you know it Zoom is mostly falling back to being Maximize most of the time, and people wonder why when it's doing the original Zoom thing it behaves differently and think it's weird and broken (which is perfectly understandable)

In a way Apple either did not embrace the winlin paradigm enough (e.g having a proper Maximize alongside Zoom + having an option for per window cmd tab) or they did not stick to their guns enough (enforcing Zoom to be correct + having a worthy fullscreen/tiling implementation) and we're left with a shitty compromise.

+ A very similar case that ties into this is how the Finder went from being fully spatial to a half-spatial half-global compromise.

Being the tech support in the family can be interesting because of that front. For example when I'm asked what's causing my fathers or grandparents relatively new laptop to be so laggy despite how much better it is than the predecessor and finding out there's no happy answer for that. There's no explaining that some software regressed on this front and they should just accept more electronic waste.

The default Lemmy deployment docs don't have a lot of breathing room.

It would be reasonable to break off the postgres server Lemmy uses to a separate server, but at the moment there is only an Ansible playbook or a docker compose file, both of which assume a single server.

There's only so much time in the day and it's much easier to size up than reimplement the install process.
It doesn’t say to not say hello, or simply says don’t leave an empty hello without context. This makes a lot of sense especially in asynchronous teams. A notification can pull you out of flow and be disruptive, so minimize them

Makes sense.

But caching, for instance, doesn't need to be it's own lib does it? I don't want 'semantic caching' I want to cache the exact same query and I can do that without being LLM specific:

from joblib import Memory

@memory.cache
def call_chat_completion_api_cached(max_tokens, messages,temperature):
...

I mean, I guess then I might want to store that somewhere central like redis and maybe slowly I need a specific cache tool. So I get your point. It's helpful to see the possibilities of approaching these problems.

But it also does feel like an land grab of supporting libs and infrastructure.
It's great to look back to the beginnings of people and to see the progress they have made. I remember checking out some of the first Nerdwriter videos. He's come a long way! Maybe there's hope for me too ;)
In the case of `/home` directory being suggested as protected by the system-wide encryption key (and use dm-integrity for an authenticated approach) over (and instead of) the separate home-specific encryption mechanism (as well as system-wide file system resulting in double-encryption effort), ...

Instead of leveraging the same system-wide disk encryption on the `/home` directory and instead, use a separate encryption volume for each user under its home directory?

This way, the choice is left to the user who can choose their own algorithm (as well as its own authenticator method) for an encryption of its own home directory; it still reap the benefit of not doing a double-encrypting;

Also in the case of hijacked key scenario, an integrity failure of a boot would not even attempt to compromise or access the user data (at '/home' data resting state).

These digital assets are “pretty much only good for illegal activities, like money laundering, narco-terrorism, and tax evasion,” Dennis Kelleher, a co-founder of Better Markets, a nonprofit advocating for financial regulation, told me. “Is there social or public interest in enabling a financial product like that?”

Who watches the watcher? Governments are effectively terrorists, war against drugs is effectively lost, and megacorps are effectively experts in money laundering and tax evasion activities with no cryptocurrencies at all.

The more I read these posts the more alarmed I become. As I posted above only minutes ago I was taught the dangers of benzene over 50 years ago to the extent that there were strict controls on how we used it—we weren't allowed to even take the stopper of the bottle unless it was in a fume cupboard.

mission [1]:

(1) a specific task with which a person or a group is charged
(2) a definite military, *naval*, or aerospace task

So in answer to your question, yes. If hikers wanted to call their hike a mission it is well within their rights. Merriam-Webster isn’t going to stop them.

You should seriously find better things to do with your life than obtuse rebellion against dictionary definitions. It makes you look like an illiterate nonce.

It may be beneficial for some, but not everyone. Also a large part of therapy is having an isolated environment where you can openly talk about anything that you wouldn't ever share with anyone else. A group of friends is often not that environment.

> Or is it just the safe thing to say without sticking one's neck out?

If you want to stick your neck out in that situation you could offer making a therapist appointment for that person. It lowers the barrier to getting help a lot and imho feels more understanding and supportive than trying to cheer them up or whatever else one might come up with. YMMV of course.

I’m not really convinced. If everyone is a little overconfident (in the sense that they think they’re above average) then the least competent are indeed the most mistaken about their relative competency. Which is (I think) what most people—at least ones not trying to use it as a debate tactic—understand Dunning-Kruger to be.
Exactly, that´s why I call it nonsense. It´s nothing to do with the hello, it´s all about the pause.

I guess in practice for something like the titanic sub, you could program it somehow to dive unmanned to some depth deeper than normal use and then resurface. Presumably with some radio beacon so you can find it when it does. Or a long cable connected to monitoring devices. If it didn't come back you'd have lost a sub but not lives.
That is a blatant distortion of the truth.
They have invested Nothing in New Designs, nothing For The Future, and I find your defense of Behringer utterly disingenuous.

Would be great if the new mods sandbagged the mod approval process and then took it private again. That would be enormously amusing.
exactly my thoughts. i would imagine the quality of what you would see out the window wouldn't be much better then what you would see from a camera fed displayed on a screen. the only selling point is that you are seeing it in real time.

it would still be as good if you were sitting on the deck of a ship in front of a screen or a VR headset watching a live feed. it would be much better than being picked into a tube with 5 people and only 2 people being able to see anything at one time
> I have previously used trap handlers in bash scripts explicitly so that the cleanup is run in every case and /tmp is not polluted - even of failures

That's perfectly fine – even desirable – behaviour for a whole bunch of use cases. The thing is you can opt-in to that trivially with "trap EXIT INT TERM ABRT", whereas the reverse is harder and much less obvious, so it seems like a better design to me (although a "trap ALWAYS" shortcut would be even better so you don't need to list signals).

At this point it's difficult to change due to compatibility as people's bash scripts would break in subtle ways, but it's one of my many annoyances with bash (my view is that people really ought to ditch bash in favour of a better shell – zsh being the most obvious incremental improvement, though far from the only option – but this always proves to be a controversial opinion).
Just in case you haven’t seen it:

The director of Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson) actually cast Sandler in a dramatic role a couple of years later (Punch-Drunk Love) that was also received very well. Might be worth checking out if you liked Magnolia (I loved that movie).
To further your point, I hope with venture capital funding being far more expensive due to interest rate rise, that these kinds of practices are held back a bit due to money being harder to come by.

I think a good example of a balanced company in this space, is SpaceX.

They’ve significantly reduced the cost of launching into space, have quite rapid development for their industry, yet they seem to take necessary precautions and safety measures when needed.

They aren’t afraid to test things and have them fail, and been able to not let bad PR (because some conflate successful testing with a successful launch) take them down as a company.

Maybe the “SpaceX” way to have done the sun dive would be to have a test where an automatic diver is used to send the sun down, or some first principles approach is done from the building phase. A Logitech gaming controller is surely a canary for other practices they’ve done
They do have a solid team of founders, that was probably enough to make the pitch
Large companies normally (unlike Twitter) have achieved strong product market fit and are all about tweaks that deliver marginal revenue. Given that they already have a big slice of the market, the multiplier on marginal revenue makes what you're doing worthwhile.

Sure, but opinions touted as authoritative "best practices" lists don't need to be a part of that.
A friend of mine spent two years in Afghanistan—mostly on various fire bases. I remember him telling me about this piece of equipment they used to operate with this $10k controller that everyone hated. One of the bases figured out that they could use an Xbox controller. All the operators preferred using that.

Obviously, it is easier to get a replacement Xbox controller to a US base than a lost submarine—so the circumstances are different. But sometimes off the shelf parts are the best option.
It’s not entirely a myth, see a list of trademarks that have been “lost” due to insufficient protection or other reasons here:

There are a lot of things that have to go right to go from human waste to farm to table. Almost no one is doing it at the individual level. Almost no one trusts a random individual to give them human compost. Of the few homesteaders I know they will happily use the byproduct from their compost toilet in the flower garden but weren't ready to use it in their vegetable garden. I guess they wanted it to pass through a few cows and goats first. They happily used the manure from cows that ate the grass that was fertilized from the human manure.

The problem is not with "Hi" or "Hello" immediately followed by the question.

The problem is when people write "Hi"/"Hello" without the question, then waiting for the reply, then want to simulate a smalltalk, and only then asking the question.

In many cases they're not even thought about this question in advance, and didn't framed it or phrased it, to make it easier on the other side to understand the problem.
This is the first time that I have ever posted and I am only doing so because I feel the need to spread the word.

I am active duty military and was able to earn a $102k Software Engineering degree without touching my GI Bill benefits because of ASU. They have an automatic military (to include reservists) scholarship that essentially makes the school the cost of US military tuition assistance ($250 a credit hour). The process for applying for TA through the military is simple enough, and then you only have to email a pdf to the requisite ASU email.

Because of this, I was able to transfer my full GI bill to my daughter.
It's not even conceptual.

It's an entirely separate, kludgy and vastly inelegant, reinvention of a concept that had already been done much better.

First in Tao Group's Taos, later much refined and improved in Elate and Intent.

Then done in a more Unixy way in Inferno.

Inferno embeds the cross-platform runtime VM right into the kernel and makes it the default.

WASM bodges a cross-platform runtime VM together out of chunks of web browser and Javascript tech, and then others rip it out of the browser and make it run standalone.
No, the cost of 600MB of RAM is $200. You just end up having bonus to waste on more electron apps.

This whole "this is how the world works" bullshit is post-hoc rationalisation done by wealthy idiots trying to justify their purchase by saying "it's just 5 cents a day if you consider it'll last ten years". This is bullshit and only applies if the purchase you're making is insignificant to you. So, congrats, $200 is insignificant to you. It's not, for most of the world, but you'd see that if you pulled your head out your ass.

This isn't even "not having to deal with low level optimization". Using a normal toolkit is not low level optimization, it's the bare minimum.

Ask HN: Seeking Tool for Team Growth Planning
At my organization, we're currently in the early stages of planning team expansion (keeping it under wraps for now, hence the throwaway account).
My go-to tool for such planning has always been a spreadsheet, but as soon as you start adding different roles (frontend, backend), seniority, team, stream, changes, totals, timelines, and notes etc - it devolves into an unmanageable mess.

Does anyone have recommendations for more effective tools or platforms geared towards structuring and streamlining the team growth planning process?

Appreciate any insights!

Someone should tell Apple that this is weird behavior.
Fun fact about the pumping lemma - my best friend's grandparent worked on it (Eli Shamir). When we were taught it during my bsc the TA who knew he was the grandson of one of the inventors, asked during the lecture where he was, if he could say something about his grandfather, and it turns out he played hockey from the class to work on something else, embarrassing!

The pumping lemma is a great milestone in this field, so simple, yet so powerful.

One of my undergrad professors, a Tamil from India, had a first and second name that between them totaled 36 characters. He had endless trouble with forms (even paper forms) until he eventually adopted a shortened version of his name.

My first encounter with him was when I was selecting classes and asked a friend "Hey, do you know anything about (short version of his name)?" "Yeah, he's great. That's not really his name, though. That's just all that will fit in the schedule."

That's often been my problem with that.

I'm all for politeness, but these are people I work with, not strangers, and it's basically my job to answer their questions, and they know I'm in a different timezone, and whom I've told that they can just ask their question directly. Certainly in this context I don't think it's any less polite than "Hi there, how you doing? I'd like to ask a question: [question]".

No one is really helped with this: not the developer or support staff who wants an answer, not customer who has to wait longer for an answer.

I also answer these sort of things outside work hours (I don't mind doing that, I also get a lot of flexibility in return), and three different messages is more invasive than just one. Actually, come to think of it, it's less polite to do it the "polite" way.
