This bullshit still happens with the latest version of Windows 11. I found that I had to demote Windows Boot Manager to a lower position in my EFI boot order, whereas removing it completely from my boot order and removing the boot entry cause Windows to install itself as first priority the moment it booted. I have not tried retaining the boot entry (skipping efibootmgr -b0000 -B) but removing it from the boot order (efibootmgr -o 0001).
I am not American. I am not a driver. I detest car-centric urban design.

It's fascinating how many of the replies require you or other commenters to rely heavily on straw men and false assumptions (like assuming American nationality) to twist reading my comment from its anodyne straightforward interpretation (look where you're going) into some sort of apologia for "car-brained dickishness". It's quite amazing.

If everyone who stepped into traffic while looking at their phones looked up first, fewer people would be hit by cars. I stand by this dickish, car-brained statement.
That must have been exaggeration to ward off clever ideas unless it's in like Utah or something -- At my grad school in a fairly puritanical state, USP grade ethanol was just on the shelf in the supply room with no more security or record keeping than on bags of pipet tips.

The Age of Horizontal Norms
It's a classic IBM strategy that goes all the way back to the old-school days of mainframes and timesharing. And they would love to bring those days back. But they can't because AWS beat them to it and now they have to live in that world.
Strong yes, particularly this line:

> the cost of monitoring an application can easily exceed the cost of hosting the application even for simple applications

(especially if you are looking at saas monitoring for a single-box or serverless thing)

I suspect SIEM is the most established use case for ingesting logs to something actionable; wonder if there are concepts there which port generally.

Datomic's approach to change capture seemed very good when it came out -- I wish this were a thing I could cheaply turn on and off on SQL columns. As things are, every ORM seems to resist having a table with no primary key so 'log important things to the DB' is hard in practice.

In postgres, mvcc makes it expensive to edit a scalar, so it is impractical to store counts. (There is an old uber blogpost I think about why they use mysql for this use case).

Specifically for alerting, I wish I could define application logic statistics in my application rather than PromQL / datadog json. Would be much easier to express 'warn me if this ever fails', 'expect 50% failure', 'warn me if too many retries' type stuff.

On the 'looking at logs' side, the hosted monitoring tools I've used are often uncomfortably slow, even when my data is small. I understand it's a hard problem but I miss graphite / whisper.

As much as I agree with your reasoning, I have experienced this kind of breakage first-hand due to cloudflare and DNSSEC and will continue using DNS resolving code that doesn't cause me pain and suffering (anything that isn't musl) because making this work with musl is quite literally out of my control.
What does it mean to understand how a scientific literature is put together?
There's also "embarcation", "barque", and old types of boats like "caravelle", "carafe", "flute", "trirème", all feminine.

Not all boat names in french are masculine. Some famous ones that are feminine:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Dauphine_(vaisseau)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Hermine_(Nef)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cordeli%C3%A8re
Make it an legal offense to butt-dial. Its basically a DDoS on the emergency hotline, so why not?
If you use Musl 1.2.4+ (or Alpine 3.18+), there are no longer the same DNS fallback issues: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2023/05/02/1

To summarize the issue: DNS is done optimistically over UDP because it's faster, but this doesn't work when DNS responses are large because of the design of UDP. TCP should be used as a fallback mechanism when responses are large. This is uncommon normally, but increasingly DNS responses are large in special scenarios; for instance when you're querying an internal DNS for service discovery (read: k8s or nomad deployments, most commonly).

Musl's maintainer interpreted the spec for a libc's resolver to not require TCP fallback (source: https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/994629795551031296?lan...), so for a long time Musl simply didn't support this feature, justifying it as better UX because of the more predictable performance.

I don't agree with the maintainer on this interpretation, but I am glad the feature was added and the issue is no longer a concern as an otherwise very happy Alpine user!
The Burden of Fighting Has Become Too Much for Me
Economists don’t even know how monetary policy affects inflation if for no other reason than because they can’t predict forward demand and exogenous supply shocks are always random.

This is why nobody called the effects of QE I and II correctly - if you recall it was supposed to cause widespread hyperinflation overnight when it was unwound.

Welp that was totally wrong because the financial system isn’t some deterministic mathematical function. It’s a political and human organization that will twist itself into doing whatever it needs to do to maintain the current power structure - up to and including breaking any rule that Mises, Rothbard or Jefferson could think of that would restrain the use of signoriage as political power.
>If you have one then you're doing it wrong

No. Microservices as the name suggests are micro and their functionality can be pretty limited. If you don't have any trivial microservices then you are doing it wrong. You may be objecting because of how inefficient it seems to put a function like that over a network call, but that just makes the performance downside of the microservice architecture clearer.

Interesting! From wiki:

In Northern Kurdish language (Kurmanji), the same word can have two genders according to the context. For example, if the word dar (meaning 'wood' or 'tree') is feminine, it means that it is a living tree (e.g., dara sêvê means 'apple tree'), but if it is masculine, it means that it is dead, no longer living (e.g., darê sêvê means 'apple wood'). So if one wants to refer to a certain table that is made of wood from an apple tree, one cannot use the word dar with a feminine gender, and if one wants to refer to an apple tree in a garden, one cannot use dar with a masculine gender.

Personally, I don't agree with this. I can't grasp the concept of 3D by only thinking in 2D + time.

I find a more effective attempt at imagining 4D space to consider what it would be like to only see in 1D projection of 2D space.

Imagine standing on a piece of paper with other pieces of paper sitting on top that create a maze - all you can see as you turn and move about in 2D space are where walls and hallways are. You have a concept of depth (in 2D). You can move about the maze.

Now imagine the sensation of that flat world expanding into 3D space and your senses expanding with it. Now it's a 3D maze and you can fly- able to navigate the 3D space.

That change you just imagined, try imagining that same expansion into a fourth spatial dimension and it being projected into a 3D space you can perceive.

Instead of being able to tell the 3D shape of something by observing shading and how light interacts with it, you'd be able to perceive the 4D shape of something, even though you can only see a 3D projection at any given time.

Ask HN: Do apps and websites purposefully make the support pages not function?

A couple questions about this:

1. Does "lifetime upgrade license" mean you can upgrade forever without any additional fees?

2. Is the standard upgrade license going to behave that way as well, or will it be valid for a certain period of time and/or number of upgrades?

3. Emailing for pricing on a very tech-oriented, non-Enterprise, automated billing SaaS product seems like a chance to try to just gauge how much I can pay rather than just having set pricing. Or like you just haven't decided how much to charge yet.

4. Who did the logo at the top of the readme? I love it.

RHEL (and co) is largely a worthless trainwreck, technologically speaking. The values that the clones provide are "lets you run your old RHEL shitware from clueless vendors", and "lets you tell clueless customers that yes, against better judgement, they can run your software on their box-ticking RHEL systems".

Without RHEL compatibility, they are nothing. And without them, RHEL customers have no software to run and RHEL certification means nothing.

One would think that the auctioneer would benefit from maximal disclosure, as the present situation as you describe it is precisely that portrayed in Akerlof's "The Market for Lemons":

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons>

Moreover, many states require regular smog checks, at least on passenger vehicles (though I'm not sure what the situation is for commercial vehicles). These entail a comprehensive electronic data record, much of which is automatically captured from the vehicle, and which is available for sale. Auto insurance companies have used these data for years, if not decades, to set policy rates as miles driven is a principle driver (ahem) of risk.

If VINs are avaiable for the vehicles being auctioned, it's possible that a service such as CARFAX might carry such data. I suspect bulk / corporate buyers would tend to have access to such information, whilst small-time operators / individuals likely would not, which throws an additional bias into such auctions.
Something I learned from an Irish friend is that the (real) Irish pubs function as a global support network. If you need a job, for example, you can find the local pub and chances are someone can help you out.

"How's 2023 going?"

"Well, I played a video and crashed my car. …not like that."
i think it is a good start, but the conclusion is not going far enough.

many people aren't happy. and the problem is figuring out why. are they not doing what they think they should be doing? if so, why aren't they? is something getting in the way? is their idea of what they should be doing different from what society thinks they should be doing?

as a society i think we don't have the right idea of what makes people happy. we think we can tell them what they should be doing, but i think part of the answer is selfdetermination. we need to give people the freedom (and the ability to exercise that freedom) to make their own choices, and not force them to conform to our ideas and standards.

Plus:

- the attendants do multiple cars at once, up to 4 or so. while one car is filling, they go to another car at another pump.

- probably less than 1 minute of "work" per fillup (the rest of the time is just waiting for the tank to fill)

During peak busy periods I think the gas station attendants probably do 50 cars per hour each
Apple's solution or hardware is just half baked.

The G-forces in a crash are much higher than dancing.

Other implementations are better.

I carry an iPhone when I go biking, and I have a Garmin GPS. The Garmin crash detection works far better. The Garmin is tuned well enough to go off on a real crash mountain biking but won't go off if you have an accident that's not a full fall.

I have had a very "real" crash and seen the Garmin correctly identify it and the iPhone does not.
I was also uncomfortable reading the article. It presents the Western scientist as the only one who knows that lead is dangerous, instead of grappling with the material economic issues at play.

Graphing the p-Norm Unit Ball in 3 Dimensions (2020)
The secret of privacy is to reduce your overall digital footprint. If you're asking yourself "how can I use social media is a private way?" the answer is: you don't use social media.

Digital privacy only becomes a real day-to-day problem if you live your life on the internet, which you don't have to do. Of course, third parties will track our shopping habits when we use rewards cards, credit rating agencies have poor security, and there's always the ever-present eyes of government watching us, but at a certain point you need to accept that you cannot control everything, and attempting to do so is more of a mental health problem than privacy concerns. If you find yourself developing PTSD from an inability to control online privacy, you probably have more fundamental problems than third party cookies

"if you recall it was supposed to cause widespread hyperinflation overnight when it was unwound"
