Distroless or not, maintainers are required… but for me running docker pull debian still does the job.

Whats wrong with current distros vuln assesment and security reporting to have another one?
Not to be that guy, but social drinking isn’t about getting trashed every night and waking up at 1PM. Nor it’s about getting drunk so much where you don’t remember the previous night. To put into a perspective, I have a few drinks almost every night, but also go hiking or snowboarding at 6AM. Maybe it’s a PNW kinda thing, but I can guarantee I’m not an exception to the rule.

The social drinking is about grabbing a drink or two, either solo or friends, to let yourself loose a bit. It’s about temporarily changing your attitude towards your environment, maybe cracking a couple of silly jokes. Maybe sitting at a beach or a park, watching sunset while listening to your surroundings.

Moderation is the key when it comes to mind-altering substances. Obviously it’s easier to say, but if super-majority of your experiences are positive, it is ok to suffer from some mild bad experiences (agonizing hangovers a couple of times a year).
You don't. But even with a good haircut and trendy clothes when you are 50+ nobody is going to guess you're only 31. You can trim your CV to only show last 10 years, but the roles are somehow still a tell.
Dockerfile and "market place" (hub) were the big ones in my opinion. Even though Dockerfile syntax was a mess in the beginning, being able to specify a base and a few commands was a huge improvement in usability. Then running build and push to make your image widely available. Collaboration was so easy compared to the alternatives, Linux jails, jailer, debootstrap, lxc and such.
Depends on the website, depends on their audience. Some people can’t get to grips with threaded comments, for example.
> Just to be clear, it's half a second for 256x256

But to continue their story, a lot of us used to play games at a 256x256 resolution.

So in the grand scheme of "things improve quickly, by a lot" it very much applies.

Bedrock rendering performance is really good. Tick performance? Not so much, the game is riddled with horrible issues such as world fallthrough which don't exist on Java (due to floating-point rounding errors), and I think the default tick distance is something like 4 or 6 chunks. Bedrock looks good, but the simulation itself is just broken. Not to mention the uncanny feeling as previous posters said - they've managed to create a similar game but with a sterilised, odd feeling. It's like watching a bad Disney adaptation of a book.
> Then the venture capital industry and startups decided to ignore these risks and put massive amounts in one bank.

Call me silly but opening a bank account with the 17th largest bank in the US is not risky or reckless behavior in my book. It's nothing like Wall Street in 2008. They're bank accounts ffs. People use them to run businesses to earn their money. They don't become rich off bank deposits. At best SVB might have given some discounts on other products for keeping large balances. If they did, they should also have advised splitting the deposits into $250k accounts or done it automatically.

> why diversify banking now?

Why do it at all? Is any value produced by doing that? If I have $25m in 100 accounts at one bank, it's unconditionally insured. But if I put it all in one account at that same bank, it's not. It's the same amount of money, and the same level of risk as I'm the only owner of all that money. How is that logical?

Public sentiment has colored this situation differently because SVB account holders are largely wealthy individuals and companies.

Bank accounts are a utility. They should just work.
LLMs can be used to propose candidates for chemical, medical, coding, and basically any domain where you got enough data to create a model but it is exponentially hard to search for solutions. They can be the core module in an agent that learns by RL or evolutionary methods - so the quality only depends on how much data the agent can generate. We know that when an agent can do proper exploration like AlphaGo Zero it can reach superhuman levels, it builds its own specialised dataset as it runs.

For example: Evolution through Large Models - https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.08896
I never said they should be unregulated! There should still be laws that ebike users have to follow (just like regular bike users do), and police should enforce those laws as strictly as possible so that most people comply to them. You can do this without requiring training, licenses or insurance.

What sort of response were they looking for with that? "How would you like it - boiled, poached, fried, scrambled or turned into an omelette? Or a meringue maybe?"
That's what I was thinking. The only reason that I thought Nix on FreeBSD as even remotely possessive is that, as I remember things, it's possible to run the Nix package manager on non-Nix systems.
So the discussion underway by Gnome developers is to address the desire to use custom arbitrary accent colors is to let one be specified but to not actually use it. Instead the closest color Gnome developers consider visually appealing will be used. This is the most Gnome thing I have read in a long time and that isn't a complement.
Thanks.

That was enough for me to find https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007279753-UniFi-Net... and know that I can mix OPNSense and my existing Unifi switches just fine as as it's all LACP.
The inner units also would have zero windows.

Even if that wouldn’t make them so undesirable as to be basically useless, that probably would be in conflict with building codes in large parts of the world.

DIY turbo diesel generator gives Tesla Model S 2500 km range
In Oz, the vehicle standards regulations are over 500 pages. You have to have an engineer's certificate after any modifications in order to re-register the vehicle. That also applies to changing the ICE for a different one, etc. Technically even changing the ECU program is verboten. But people still do it and plug in the old ECU to pass inspections.

If we're subsidizing e-bikes, surely we should be subsidizing regular bikes even more?

A normal bicycle is way more ecological than an e-bike. It's healthier too. And less dangerous.
youtube covers it all :D
Debian does a great job! But here's one example where their packaging system makes container workloads hard. Debian, like many other distros has a strict "one version of every package" rule, meaning that Debian only ships one version of common things like programming languages or webservers.

If you "apt-get install nodejs", you can only have Node.js v18, in the very very recently released Debian bookworm. If your devs need Node.js v20, or even v22 which will both be LTS releases during the bookworm release cycle, you're out of luck.

You can go install those outside of the Debian package manager, but then you're on your own for vuln assessment and security fixes. Worse - many scanners don't actually even "see" packages that are installed outside of package managers, so you may not know that these exist or are installed.

We designed Wolfi to be more flexible around package versions. This is a very very hard problem to solve in general, but since we're focused on immutable containers, we can skip a lot of the complexity around conflicts, upgrade/downgrade scenarios, and cross-version compatibility.
Huh? link?

Throwing in the Self-Contained Systems approach for your consideration.

Not necessarily the One-Architecture-To-Rule-Them-All (none is), but as you've mentioned a "new LARGE project", it might be a good choice.

There appears to be no subsidy needed here in the Netherlands. Last year e-bikes were already outselling regular bikes.
The way architecture influences thinking is really fascinating to think about.

Peter Watts’ universe features vampires that get grand mal brain seizures when they perceive crosses (that is, intersecting lines at roughly right angles). The idea is that large right angles very rarely occur in nature, so vampires were able to flourish in antiquity, but as human architecture began wrapping civilization in boxes with walls, windows, roofs, etc, vampires would naturally stay away from cities and population centers, explaining their rarity.

In the story of course, humans developed drugs that inhibit that part of the vampiric visual cortex so we could subjugate them for study and free labor, but vampires are quite smart, so things predictably go off the rails…

“Echopraxia” by Peter Watts draws this idea further if you’re curious.
No, you still don't have a clue what you're talking about.
power consumption is a strong point. there are a lot of old desktops that idle >10W but there also are some (not as old typically) that go below.

if you want to be sure, use an old (skylake and above) laptop and give it a usb3-eth plug. my latitude e7470 idles at around 3W (powertop)
That's cool, but aren't containers considered to be a workaround for exactly that problem?
Correct me if I’m wrong, since I’m not an expert in this area, but I think lowering inflammation is not really the goal? Inflammation as I understand it is just a marker for stress (in the broadest sense of the word). I understand that inflammation is the body attempting to heal from said stress. So really, the goal is to remove chronic stressors, of which you listed many. I think you got most of the big ones, maybe missing toxic chemical exposure in food/air/water depending on locale, and mental stress due to a lack of societal cohesion, across a lot of the US at least.
Which they didn't. This is about Genius suing Google, and even if both of them are licensees that does not give either standing to sue the other. But it would give the original rights holders standing if the content were used outside of the license. Licensee != rights holder.
I've been wanting to ask HN about Reddit & PII, I have never had an account and generally only use reddit.com when something in a public libreddit instance isn't working - for example a video.

Reddit seems to target me with sponsored posts very specific to the industry that I work in, despite the fact that I do not have an account.

- Exclusively use iOS private relay
- Do not use apps, only use web versions of services
- 1blocker iOS installed
- I don't use any Google products or the search engine

I raised a GDPR request with Reddit, and they stated that they have no way of knowing who I am when I use the site if I am not actively signed in.

How is reddit able to target me specifically with sponsored posts that are specific to the industry and skillset I'm in? What PII do they hold and how can I request they remove it?
That's supposedly common, but as a non-chef I have no idea what the expected outcome is :D
Add `--mount-proc` to `unshare` to have separated `ps` output.
Articles such as this are not wrong to point out SUVs, but I think they miss two other important issues:

- Increased driver distraction due to smartphones and in-car touch screens.

- Decreased driver visibility due to improved rollover protection. (Ironically, this may largely be the blame of SUVs as well, since passenger cars are much harder to roll over)

I can’t go through a single day without seeing some driver looking down at their phone. I honestly wager I could drive better drunk than some drivers can manage when distracted by their phones.
No capitalist platform will ever not do these things Reddit is doing. The desire for ease of use and the desire for quality are not compatible.

When I was a lad, my family always made sure I had good shoes. Not million dollar Jordans or any such horsepuckey, but a good set of Nikes or whatever.

One day I saw that there were shoes that you didn't have to lace, you could just pull a velcro flap. I don't know why but I had to have them, I made them take me to the store and I made the shoe guy get them for me, many people tried to stop me.

After like two hours in them,I knew I had made a mistake. I had never experienced not having good shoes before, as it turns out. Out of stubborn cussedness I wore them for several days, but pretty soon I had my old shoes on and the velcro was eventually forgotten.

People trying to save Reddit are basically the people at the Stubborn Cussedness phase of this process, but you will soon learn that The Capital is not going to give you back the nice thing you once had.

If you pick an instance and learn to use hashtags you can have a nice thing which no capital will be able to take from you, ever. Meta is about to try but they will not succeed. They are Ferengi, assimilated by Borg. We are The Federation. Join us, on a non-Meta instance. I'd avoid the big ones at this point, there's a fight coming with those guys.
> Suburban life is terrible for every single happiness metric.

Why do so many people want to live in the suburbs then? Are they all myopic and stupid?
This is a great argument, except that the extra space that makes the building so efficient compared to a cube, is space that mostly can't be used.
Yep, but workarounds come with a cost. We're trying to package basically everything, so you don't need to pick between "up to date software" and "software from a trusted distro".

It's going to be hard to scale, but we're going to at least try! We have a lot of ideas on how to make this work that I'm excited to try out.
> If a company can win a market, that begs the question why. Are there regulatory barriers preventing competition? Can competitors not compete on price?

A reason why a new competitor might not be able to compete on price is because of capital disparity. The winner can lower prices, buyout the competitor or if that fails they can always turn to buying out distributors/suppliers/key employees of their competitor
Definitely Paper. Working with Fabric often requires you to get your hands dirty at the compiled bytecode level, which is very powerful for mod authors but really increases the floor for "actually building something that's fun to use" in a way that will probably just be very frustrating for new programmers. Forge is focused on client-side modding which is just inherently trickier and requires more awkward APIs. Paper really gets out of your way and lets you program basically whatever you want to do server-side without worrying at all about needing to install mods client-side. I would't worry at all about capabilities—minecraft is an extremely flexible program, especially with the chat commands system, and you can still create cool custom UIs and behaviors without touching client-side code at all.
gunapologist99, the forms are built into the product. They are simple forms to read and understand. I have answered thousands of consumer real estate questions and it is apparent by the questions they ask that many consumers are not reading the contracts. They turn to their trusted advisor and ask them if the doc is OK to sign. This is s very poor practice for consumers, brought on in part by the internet. The bulk of consumer do not read Amazon's ToS, or any other site. We don't think we can force people to read them, but if we make the purchase doc simple, and easy to read, they will read it. IMO, PropBox is breaking new ground. There is zero commission. Sellers are paying for an ad that makes the transaction easy by bringing the customers together instead of keeping them apart. A real estate transaction can be a win-win not a tug of war. Thanks for your review and your interest. Richard
All those are considerations, but the end result will still be much wilder than any agricultural land.
Sorry, I wasn’t thinking of you specifically. I meant “We” as in Western Society as a whole.
I would, when it comes to parallelism. Java being stuck at OS threads (I know about Loom but it's nowhere near the BEAM VM or goroutines) is not doing it any favors.

PHP at least attempted some isolation between requests (emphasis on attempted) even though it didn't do it very well.

All that being said, people don't like seeing their favorite tech called out and the kneejerk down arrow presses are expected. Programmers are a tribal bunch.

Personally I've found my productivity multiplied with the above-mentioned more modern tech: Elixir, Rust and Golang. But I am also aware many companies would never risk it, and that there is no shortage of people who are OK coasting on old stacks if it pays the bills. Not judging.

Wasn't really sure where this was going, but the background to this approach adds some details - namely what they mean by distro-less and how they pull it off.

"This sounds like a brilliant idea at first, but is it? My guess is that the more obvious it becomes that the IPO is a failure, the more the reddit execs press hard on its enshitiffication. My guess is waiting for the IPO to fizzle might be too late. Instead I think a better long term approach would be buy reddit now, remove all ads, fix the useability issues"...

We use Alpine Linux in all our docker builds for AWS ECS / Fargate. I noticed the FAQ says this:

> Wolfi is a Linux undistro designed from the ground up to support newer computing paradigms such as containers. Although Wolfi has a few similar design principles as Alpine (such as using apk), it is a different distribution that is focused on supply chain security. Unlike Alpine, Wolfi does not currently build its own Linux kernel, instead relying on the host environment (e.g. a container runtime) to provide one.

Is it possible to expand on this more? Why should I, a technical expert, use this over an already established distribution (Alpine)? What are good talking points I can bring to management / architects that would sell them on a switch?

Can you expand on what “supply chain security” actually means?
You read negative, positive, and neutral posts about the US and its allies every day. Yet, you only read negative posts on China. So how can you honestly have a logical discussion on China?

You don't have a different point of view. You only know one thing, which is "china bad".

>Can China say that?

Who cares when when hundreds of millions went from hungry to prosperity in one generation? And hundreds of millions more are still hungry? You think they care about the things you care about in the US? Would being able to publish articles slamming the CCP increase GDP per capita faster than the current rate? Would infighting between parties increase tech innovation in China?

You can't simply apply whatever values that Americans value onto China. Different history. Different culture. Different phase in development.

And besides, millions criticize the actions of the CCP daily on Weibo already. They have more freedom than you think. Don't underestimate the Chinese's ability to overthrow governments whenever they want to. They've been doing it for thousands of years.
For short lived objects, heap allocation is probably about as fast as allocating on the stack. By pooling you can end up moving objects out of the fast eden space into older generations.

I worked on optimising a java library a few years back and one of the bigger speed ups was removing all the object pooling code.

The Access Control Revamp v2
It's fascinating how the tech landscape has evolved over a short period. Remember the days when we painstakingly hard-coded app authentication, safeguarding passwords in encrypted forms? Seems archaic now. The de facto authentication approach today leans heavily on providers like Auth0, Clerk, among others. Interestingly, we seem to be following a similar trajectory with authorization.

Developers are increasingly harnessing the power of tools such as OPA and Rego for crafting application policies. Just recently, AWS rolled out a fresh policy language named Cedar, specifically designed for app-level authorization. Not to mention, OSO secured a hefty $15 million in funding for their policy engine. Permit.io too has been making waves with a novel standard for frontend authorization, termed FoAz (FoAz.io). And then we have Auth0 launching their rendition of Google Zanzibar, aptly named OpenFGA. It's clear there's a general push towards retooling app authorization systems.

Where do you stand in this evolution? Are you maintaining the old guard with 'if (user.admin)' style imperative code? Have you ventured into the world of open-source policy engines? Are you contemplating using one of these emerging cloud services for managing permissions? Or are you considering alternative permission models beyond RBAC?

I'm eager to hear your viewpoints on this 'access control revamp v2'. What's your perspective on these changes?

It's already happening. An MIT study came out last week that found that Amazon Mechanical Turk workers hired to do RLHF type training of models were using ChatGPT to select the best answer. And the web being polluted by AI generated content which then gets scraped into Common Crawl and other training data sets has been an issue for a couple of years now.
