Nice find. The docs say...

-n compare according to string numerical value
-u output only the first of an equal run

...so the implementation seems clear enough. With -n the comparison is numerical, with -u lines which compare equal are deduplicated. But almost certainly not as intended!
How these apps "should" work (IDK how this one does) is use the VPN API to capture traffic then filter it locally. The traffic should then leave the device as regular internet traffic, no VPN tunnel.
I've had so many people tell me that it is unreasonable to ask in an interview "What's the difference between an array and a set?"... Then I ask how they'd feel about reviewing PRs from a person that does not know the difference and they mostly of change their minds about it.
Ask HN: What can we use instead of Rockylinux for our compute nodes?
After the recent events in the last couple of days, with Red Hat essentially saying "We need/want to get paid for the curation and maintenance of the _open source_ packages that we build RHEL with", we have lost faith in the Red Hat ecosystem to use it as the base of our research HPC cluster at a small research group in a University.

Our cluster is currently being re-built with a new chunk of hardware and a big downtime for this upgrade is in a few months. We were set on going with Rockylinux as our base on about 64 baremetal servers doing HPC work. Now, it looks like an unsafe choice.
Paying for RHEL subscriptions is not a real choice as their billing is based on Full time and part-time users with a fixed fee per such user - we deal with a rotating crowd of students and researchers from all over the world. Additionally, we are reliant on grant money that came for research to support the infra on the side. We cannot afford to channel grant money into RH licenses.

CentOS Stream seems to be a silly choice as we were running CentOS 8 all along until Redhat chose to burn it, and we dont want to trust RH again.

Fedora - easier to move to, but being a rolling distribution, it changes too fast for our HPC nodes..

Debian - ideal choice, but would mean need to change everything from our automation scripts, revalidate all our curated software packages to make sure they work on Debian, re-install stuff like SAS, and figure out how.. you get the point.

Folks who are at a similar trouble, which way are you going? Any suggestions for us?
Because I liked the post.
You might be unnecessarily exposing attack surface by including unused binaries in your container.
Which elixir repo? the elixir-lang repo last had a commit 3h ago. the phoenixframework repo was update last week
> Why is it still necessary to have whole, full-blown OS filesystems inside of our containers, if their purpose is running a single binary?

It's not and Docker carries plenty of unnecessary complexity.
I have been thinking along the same lines (same process for CO2 capture and natural gas as output). The thing that kills it is energy requirements, in this scenario 1 MW of solar panels would cost about 1 million USD + 100k USD for the plant. In theory it could be profitable within 7-8 years - possibly sooner if built in Africa or some other country with infinite solar (just napkin math).

Another thing that might make it more profitable is extra conversion to SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel).

Long term in this type of tech is crucial to stop burning up carbon stored in the ground for use cases that require more energy density (like flight).
Fully automated as in you drive up and it “plugs-in” to your car itself? Or just self service?
I might have confused download volume with image size but the tar.gz for dockerTools.buildLayeredImage with just node and mariadb in the contents is still 220MB (just checked)

Edit: with nothing in the contents it's 144M, which is getting reasonable but still nearly 30x alpine base
If you want to stick with Bash then the commands split, join, cut, paste, join come in very handy.

For me there is a threshold beyond which I move to AWK. Some would prefer Perl over AWK, but I cannot hold all of Perl's syntax and keywords in my brain.

Sometimes the needed processing is either a lot for AWK, or I have to be at my best behavior -- the equivalent of meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time. In such cases I use Python. I usually do not use Python for one offs that I do not intend to maintain because with AWK you can usually relieve yourself of the ceremony of setting up a read and tokenize loop. Then again, some prefer making a sqlite database out of the file and use SQL.

TLDR: split, join, cut, paste, join, AWK.

Still TLDR: Coreutils (in particular textutils and fileutils) https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html

This is not to insinuate that OP does not already know this, commenting just in the hope that it is helpful to some.
> packet loss at summer temps is indicative of faulty hardware (maybe just the thermal paste or other parts of the heat management)

there is no heat management in the Ubnt USG. no thermal paste on the hot network ports, no cooling design beyond passive cooling (little air holes in the side of the case) that doesn't work when it's laid flat (need to vertically mount to encourage airflow).

most of the hacks are people fitting fans in a case that isn't designed for it: i.e. https://old.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/cr88fw/cooling_th...

if the USG is in a cupboard or somewhere with poor airflow, and it's the Summer, then it's packet loss city.

would agree that this is a faulty hardware, faulty by design.

I've only played with Nim a little, but I found it really compelling and honestly quite fun to write. It's quite elegant and economical and the performance is impressive for the lack of ceremony.

However, the language itself still seems to be a little in flux (v2.0 is nearly out, and my impression is that v3.0 might finally be a nice stable language) and the BDFL makes some language decisions (and holds some opinions) that I'm not fully on board with, and I think make the language a little less than it could be. Obviously that's subjective though.

I'll definitely keep an eye on it and check back in periodically, but I'm also not going to write any non-disposable code in it for now.
1- Macron is known for his inflammatory and regular "petites phrases" (but often said more calmly than Melenchon), like "people who are success, and people who are nothing"... Some of his minister (eg. Darmanin) too, with some fake news sometimes.

And there are discourses and there are actions... Even journalists of le Figaro (right, with far right journalists and guests) had to publicly protest several times against Macron and his police because of stuff linked to democracy.

2. Your initial post where mentioning defining democracy around the term of revolution. This is not the case. Note that most violent revolution were to bring more democracy (even if does not end well all the times) and he seems to use the word in a very broad sense, including winning election. I did say this point is in a way scary, but gave you detailed explanation why in this context it is not that scary at all. You did not answered to any of those points.

3. I you don't read their detailed stuff, how do you know it is "a "nice" and empty ideology" ?

4. Why you call him a demagogue (even without reading any detailed stuff) ? and on what base you you say it will be bad for most people ?

More importantly as we were talking about democracy, how do you see Melenchon managing to reduce democracy, while his political plateform is more democracy, his party and people voting for him want more democracy, while his allies he need does not want less democracy, while there are important safeguard in France, while counter powers does not want less democracy, while army, police, companies and press does not like him and would oppose any move toward more autoritarism ???

5 - Your answer is off-topic... Still answering it :

Protesters did a lot of things, not LFI (except for ONE elected representative saying something one time)...

The discourse of LFI is the recent protest the not centered around the lack of democracy but about retirement, and more broadly about work and money.

No LFI leader compared the French situation with Russia ! But indeed some pointed that democracy moved back a bit... And indeed even journalist from Figaro had to mobilize several times against Macron for stuff link to democracy... And I am sometimes afraid to go protest (and I do respect the law) having been attacked several times by the police... And the recent twist to prevent the parliament to vote a law is lawful but is seen as going against "democracy" by a majority of French people.

6 - Here again a new off topic subject... You are grossly caricaturing his position, but what is the link with democracy in France ??? (note that only USA predicted that Russia will attack)

Seems like an infrastructure problem then as well.
I assume that this rant refers to all equivalent “interruption technologies” that demand immediate attention? Video chats, instant messages, etc - any form of synchronous communication…. They’re all the same for me, making me do something others want rather than whatever I was doing before being interrupted.

And it’s not the most intrusive form of communication as I can mute the ringer and deal with voicemail when I wish. The most intrusive form is standing in front of me wanting to talk. Can’t really mute such things. Oh, sorry, that’s synergy and the added value of the office.

I find audio conversation, used correctly, to be a higher bandwidth medium than text. And far more satisfactory when dealing with those I know.
I think it probably depends on how they spend it. Investments that increase efficiency would be long-term deflationary. Infrastructure, education, research etc. All the obvious stuff we all know we need more of.
A Cautionary Tale of Petrochemicals from Pennsylvania
Most container images contain binaries that were made to use Linux syscalls for things like I/O and memory management.

Windows had an implementation of the Linux kernel interface for this exact purpose (WSL 1) but because of performance and compatibility challenges, they switched to plain virtual machines.

These days, virtual machine run with almost 0 overhead anyway, so if you want to run a Linux binary they're a much simpler option than implementing a whole operating system.

Yes. Because BLE scanning can effectively be used to determine user location it is grouped into the location permission.

In theory it would be slightly harder to determine the users location if only BLE scanning was granted but I'm sure the Alibaba would have no difficulty getting more or less the same amount of location info.

Plus how do you express this to users? Do you call it "BLE Scanning" and try to explain that this reveals location information? Most users will miss that explanation. Or do you call both permissions "Location"? But now what is the incentive to request the lesser one.

I actually think that Google made a reasonable call here. If they both grant access to more or less the same info it makes sense to be behind the same permission.
Why do 100k people need a car battery monitoring app? The dial is right on the dashboard of the car, what does this app possibly do?! And drain your phone battery continously as well, is that really worth the ability to see on your phone screen what your dashboard already tells? And if it's for a stationary battery, why not just analog volt meter dial?

Sorry for complaining, but it's so hard to find standalone devices that don't require an app nowadays (simple example: try finding an LED lamp where you can choose the light color that allows doing it with a button on the lamp itself without app - I found one but it was non-trivial and it still doesn't allow color cycling without app). If people wouldn't prefer this BS, it would be easier to find sane electronics/electrics again.
The 2022 survey is interesting - he marks "Write python code to implement algos like quicksort" and "Answer easily googleable factual but open-ended questions better than an expert" as "already happened" and the experts estimate 3 and 5 years in the future - this points to his expectations for what "happened" different than the experts.

Like for the former "implement quicksort" they might be answering "write quicksort given an understanding of python and an understanding of the problem" rather than what happened which was "implement quicksort by reconstructing text from corpus".
And on the latter - I'm not sure that we've achieved the "answer easily googleable factual questions better than an expert", unless by better he means answer it with more confidence than an expert (sarcasm). LLMs will flat out make up facts for factual questions and answer with complete confidence and there is no easy way to extract structured data out of those answers to confirm them.

I think the idea of the marking these items as "these happened" is very handwavey and removes some of the interesting things about the survey. The most interesting thing in this article is where he compares the two articles and tracks deltas between the time estimates - I think that's a strong indicator of what we're finding is easier than we though in AI vs what is proving to be a bigger problem than we though in AI.
We can make ourselves to believe we are seeing 2D, or that 2D somehow has depth. So I am sure a hypothetical 4D being could do the same.

But can I work the other way? Can we ever have a true understanding of 4D?

I am not sure our edge detection gets worse in werid architecture. I visited a large scale surreal 3D art installation and had no problems with edge detection even if the scale of objects was designed to mess with my senses.
`0.001` and `0.002` are essentially equally accurate as `1` and `2`.
`1.001` and `1.002` are worse.

In general, multiplicative scaling is useless with floating-point (*); but shifting the coordinate offset (additive, i.e. translation) can be highly useful. You want to move the range of numbers you are dealing with so that is becomes centered around zero (not near 1!).
E.g. in Kerbal Space Program, the physics simulation of individual parts within the rocket needs to use a coordinate system centered on the rocket itself; it would be way too inaccurate to use the global coordinate system centered on the sun.

(*) The exception is if you need to keep decimal fractions exact, e.g. if dealing with money. In this case, (if a better suited decimal floating-point is unavailable) you want to scale multiplicatively to ensure a cent is 1, not 0.01.

Bedrock is also much harder to mod, being written in C++, and mods are a big part of what people like about Minecraft. They have an add-on system but that's just fancy JSON config files so you can only do things like adding a new block, not complete reworks of the internal code to improve performance or anything like that which is totally possible on Java Edition
That's for the standard full mesh clustering, Erlang distribution can be further tuned with hidden nodes, etc. I think WhatsApp scaled clusters to 10_000 nodes[1].

I personally only run max 10 nodes Erlang cluster (on physical servers) in production, and ~ 20 on AWS for dev/testing workloads.

But I think it's better to have a federation of smaller clusters, or separate cluster per datacenter/AZ.

Erlang distribution isn't a silver bullet, though. But for 80% of cases it's enough.

Did you mean that you only drive and don't walk, or do you just always stay home?

Anyway, some cities are doing better with bike lanes. Making them areas on the sidewalk (which needs to be pretty big obviously), or organizing a road as (traffic | parking | bike lane) rather than (traffic | bike lane | parking). Pretty slow going though, and only denser cities.
Interesting stuff. I guess it gets in to what counts as a a brute force, as most of the brute force attacks I've seen (e.g. password cracking) lean pretty heavily on clever maths and statistical hacks to reduce the search space as much as possible.

Excuse the pessimism.

My residential solar panel notes:

Still need to park some $24,000 of your own money in order to start reaping solar credits (at year-ends, not available in some states).

Then have sufficient roof /ground space to ensure that number of solar panel exceeds your wattage consumption rate: Keyed to power/surface ratio of solar panel (waiting game)

Incremental rollout or segmented installation is not readily made available for lower-class or skeptical folks; a missed key accelerant of increasing adoption rate.

Then most neglect to ensure that your solar credit offsets the bideccinial cost of roof replacement.

Many older homes often requires new electrical panels added to the side, or often a new panel (easy $14,000+ USD).

It is still strictly an upper-middle-class endeavor.
That's what the next launch is for.

Yeah I'm in central London and started cycling again having done it a decade ago and they've made massive improvements. As well as cycleways there are a lot of signs saying "No entry except cycles" and similar on the regular back streets which vastly reduces vehicle traffic without much cost to put in. The cars can still access the roads, they just have to do an annoying loop of one way type stuff. I also drive and it's made driving more of a pain but still seems better overall.

I didn't actually keep track of complexity of sentence structure as a function humanities engagement level yet, but... good idea!

According to my ad-hoc statistics, basically the position on consciousness breaks down as follows:

1. Physics/chemistry: "We don't know what Consciousness is, but let us propose a new particle-of-the-day to explain it"

2. Humanities: "We don't know what Consciousness is, but let us propose a new field of science/state of being to explain it"

3. Life sciences: "We don't know what Consciousness is. The last umpteen-thousand papers explained things in terms of known physics and chemistry, so let's explain Consciousness in terms of known physics and chemistry"

4. IT/AI: "We're all gonna die!" (bonus points for being technically correct at all times)

5. Philosophy of Mathematics <- mathematicians are sort of crazy, philosophers are sort of crazy; crazy^2 might just have some sane(?) words on this. (Alan Turing was one of these, and see what kind of trouble HE kicked up!)
Reading its own values is never a problem, the writeIndex cacheline will switch from E (or M) to S (or O), but it is never evicted, so reads from it never miss. For frequent writes the read will be fulfilled by the store buffer anyway.

Containers are a feature of the Linux Kernel as is namespacing, so non-linuxes will always need a VM to run Linux containers.

lxc really only covers starting a process as a container with some basic configuration. Later on Docker developed libcontainer which gave it interaction with other namespacing technologies like IPC, network, etc. The interfaces with these other namespacing technologies are not the same across linuxes which is what I mean by "run anywhere".

I was (one of) the original creators of the Google Distroless project. The main difference is that Original Distroless uses Debian as the upstream. This is great in many ways, but makes it so stuff outside of Debian is hard to package in.

Wolfi is its own upstream - packages are sourced and built directly from source, without another Linux distro.

The rest of the differences stem from here - we get more control over what we package and how, and are able to more quickly add new versions of packages, or roll out CVE patches.
That world is not hypothetical: there's a debate whether we should differentiate between "soft" and "hard" drugs (because we might be encouraging people to use the soft ones by doing so), but one thing is for sure: alcohol is a "hard" drug, same as heroin.
