I don't think any used car buyer will install additional feature in a car. Maybe a new car radio, but even that has become difficult. In our 2nd gen Berlingo the radio is connected to the multimedia "lever" and the digital dashboard ... the aftermarket radio that worked fine in the previous car does not even use the same connectors :-/

I agree.

They built a platform so that we could create communities and manage them how we want to.

We posted information. We created content. We exchanged ideas, had discussions, and we all helped each other.

I’m fine with them recouping their costs. I’m fine with them even making a bit off of it. However,

> I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined.

…

> For reference, I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls.

My understanding is that Christian is grandfathered into an older plan on Imgur. Having said that, the Mega plan is $10,000 per month for 150,000,000 requests. If we use this pricing, 50,000,000 api calls is $3,333.34 (vs Reddit’s $12,000)

I think most of the people exposed to those events are begging for sane gun control.
The novel Noble House by James Clavell and subsequent TV miniseries starring Pierce Brosnan involve these boats quite a bit. The miniseries was filmed on location in Hong Kong and a decent portion of it takes place on the boats/in the harbor. The book is better than the show, but it's still worth watching.

The probably first reported hacking incident (in the modern sense, as in computer assisted phone phreaking) was at MIT using a PDP-1 to connect various tie-lines between MIT and Harvard, and reaching out on tie-lines to the Millstone Radar Facility, the Sudbury defense installation, IBM Kingston/NY, and to the MITRE Corporation, while redirecting the long distance call fees to a local radar station. As reported in "The Tech", 20 Nov. 1963 issue[0]. It doesn't seem that this had any serious consequences, though. Carlton Tucker, MIT’s telephone system administrator, is quoted with (while expressing warnings regarding future liabilities), "we don’t have too much trouble with the boys; we appreciate their curiosity."

As a point of note; you're arguing from (incomplete) hindsight.

At the time it was known that

* Germany had a nuclear weapons program.

* Japan had a nuclear weapons program.

* Russia, an ally, had contacts who were key personal in the US weapons program.

* The UK MAUD group blueprinted the path to implementation and talked a reluctant USofA into development.

In regards to your tangent, it's because drinks are not the attraction, so people are relatively price-insensitive to (or price-unaware of) them. People think "I want a burger", price-compare burgers, and choose the place with the $5 burger over the place with the $7 burger. They don't notice that their side and their drink are each $1 more at the $5-burger place, and that both meals cost the same at both restaurants. Instead they think "geeze, I'm glad we went here. Who'd pay $7 for a burger? That place is a ripoff."

That's only compounded by the tendency for drinks and sides to be impulse-purchases - easy up-sells that no one walked in intending to consume. And, if choosing the $5 burger has maybe embedded the idea that your place is "cheap", then so much the better, as that makes them likely to spend a little more than they would have at the other place: "I saved $2 on the burger, so I can afford an extra side!"

Tl;dr: Commodity restaurants are trapped in an equilibrium where food has to be a loss-leader for sales of drinks and fries.
If I am not mistaken sometimes this is due to yield rates in chip manufacturing. Iirc there were 3 core pentiums at some point that were basically faulty 4 core chips where one core did not pass QC.

In Norway, while we use "vill vest" (wild west) as well, we also use "Texas" as a synonym for "crazy". It's not necessarily negative ("that party was completely Texas" could imply it was crazy in a fun way depending on context) but it often is implying chaos and lawlessness.
And still not a "copy link text" function (unless you faff about installing an extension).
This is just a Russian apologist talking point.

"Just accept Russia invading you because maybe nukes" could potentially be used for anything. "Give us a favorable trade deal because otherwise we might nuke you."

How many times have Russian officials saber rattled about nukes and red lines and escalation when a Western partner provides small arms or artillery or tanks or jets, only for the red lines to be crossed and they do nothing?

Short of someone invading Russia or nuking Russia, it's obviously a bluff, and by trying to sue for peace prematurely, you're playing into their rhetorical ploy. It's a transparently cheap tactic that only works on Putinverstehers.
The aversion to comments is especially painful. There is no such thing as self-descriptive code.

Same with if statements. There is a point to be made about encoding logic in the type system (type-state pattern), which is great. However, encoding it in indirection and abstraction in the name of saving a couple of lines of imperative code is an especially egregious cancer.

Having the police be militarized makes it far easier to convict them when they don't do their jobs.

Well yes that's true, however that's in the spirit of a 3rd party providing a specific service to your program, whereas the object zealots intended objects in the sense of entities with identity being these off-the-peg consumables. Imagine if in a code review every time you declared a class to represent some feature you were challenged as to whether there wasn't some component you could shop for instead. The Aircraft example was egregious - does a company doing in flight catering want the same thing as an air traffic control simulation?! It's also about boundaries - a typical 3rd party REST api has a clean and obvious boundary, but how would one of these Aircraft objects sensibly interoperate with my program, as it can't know anything about the rest of the application. The hand-wavers never thought to explore these critical problems.
Probably the phones became a new PC which means being dedicated to a one person. A real PC was never a personal computer because it always needs a sysadmin for doing this or that, also a real PC is a great thing to be used by several persons.

Smartphones never need a sysadmin because all weird things are either prohibited or so easy to set up that a child can do it, no third option. I am travelling often to my friends and often I use to borrow their laptop/desktop while living in their apartments and the friends always borrow to me their PCs/Macs with ease. But nobody ever borrowed me their phone because every such a device in active use is having so much personal information that everybody is always super-bothered about something might just appear in push notifications and compromise some very personal part of their life to me.

What makes you get a Google captcha? My default search is set to DDG. Perhaps that’s why I don’t get one?
In my experience this happens because people tend to react with skepticism when you tell them you used Lisp for something. You can't just tell someone about a neat thing you made without a high probability of being asked to justify why you didn't just use Javascript. So, Lisp people tend to develop some stock answer when they're inevitably asked about it.
And the Bowling Green Massacre!
On the user side, yes. It's an uphill battle getting most of the people I know to understand and use ChatGPT.
Haha very true. Nicely done =P
> There is a historical pattern here. Of the two major Russian revolutions over the past century, both were undergirded by debilitating economic woes caused partially by military overreach and struggles on the battlefield.

For most of us who do not believe in some latent NATO evil plan to conquer Russia, the expense is even more shocking when compared to how cheaply* Russia could have been reliably maintaining peaceful borders. (A national goal which is not the same as keeping Putin indefinitely in-power and ego-satisfied.)

From "Notes On Nationalism"

My point is that some people just hate the USA, think everything bad is somehow the USA's fault (even to the point of thinking all revolutions or coups are CIA plots, as if Those People had no agency of their own) and base their whole worldview on that hatred.

I'm not suggesting we should stop striving for better programming languages or even that the status quo is good enough. My point was not to discourage innovation in Lisp or in any other language.

Quite the contrary, I believe that the world of programming is constantly evolving and not revolving solely around whether Lisp is the best. There is a plethora of new languages being generated that are designed to solve problems in unique, innovative ways. For example, languages like Rust, Elixir, Go, and Haskell are much younger than Lisp and are great in their respective fields.

You know, in some ways, the situation often seems reversed. Some Lisp enthusiasts treat non-Lispers as if they are yet to grasp 'the truth', implying that with enough effort and enlightenment, they too will understand and embrace Lisp. While I recognize the merits of Lisp and the passion of its community, it's important to remember that the technological world isn't static; it continues to evolve and innovate.

The reality is this: The world has moved on. A multitude of new languages, paradigms, and methodologies have emerged, each excelling in its unique way and suited to specific problems or contexts.
despite it is illegal but im going to torrent it
If the background of the issue is as Musk described, then it certainly is not allowed by twitter’s robots.txt, which allows a maximum of one request per second.

I do a lot of data scraping, so I’m sympathetic to the people who want to do it, but violating the robots.txt (or other published policies) is absolutely unethical, regardless of the license of the content the service is hosting. Another way of describing an unauthorised usecase taking a service offline is a denial of service attack, which (again, if Musk’s description of the problem is accurate) seems to be the issue Twitter was facing, with a choice between restricting services or scaling forever to meet the scrapers requirements.

Personally I would have probably tried to start with a captcha, but all this dogpiling just looks like low effort Musk hate. The prevailing sentiment on HN has become so passionately anti-Musk that it’s hard to view any criticism of him or Twitter here with any credibility.
If you insist on framing it as "buying sex is consuming people", then sure.
It's the upstream source, not the source used to build RHEL. RHEL is downstream of CentOS stream. Much like linux kernel's source is available, it does not help you much.
Is it actually possible to allow a tab/site store and manage large persistent datastore? It would be useful to build certain applications that way (like some next gen desktop apps).

>Web advertisers seem like a classic case of taking miles when given an inch.

I agree. And for me they're also two (!) good examples of tragedy of the commons.

From the side of the advertisers, your ads are only competitive if they're slightly more obnoxious than your competitors, but as you make your ads more obnoxious you're degrading a common resource - the willingness of the public to put up with your crap. Eventually the public says "this is too obnoxious, I'm going to block it".

And, from the side of the sites showing ads, you'll want (or need) the additional money brought by one more ad. But once you do it, you're creating yet another ad space - making the market value of ad spaces a tiny bit cheaper. And as everyone is doing this, the price of ad spaces drops down to the bottom, so you need to include more and more ads on your platform to stay competitive (or even to stay online).

I would expect governments to intervene in those situations. At the end of the day, a government should, among other things, prevent its citizens from making things worse for everyone, when seeking their own interests. Sadly governments aren't big fans of contradicting megacorps like the Ad Sense (from Alphabet) mafia.

like the beauty and wellness industries the self care industry is just that! An industry to make money. Nothing more!

As a retired Psychotherapist I too had to include daily tasks of self care to keep myself in tip top psychological order to work with the most demanding and challenging mental health clients.

It is drummed into all undergraduate psychotherapists that self care is very important.

Even the lofty BACP say this about self care: Self Care is an ongoing process of caring for yourself; making a conscious effort to do things that maintain, improve and repair your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness. It’s about having awareness of your own being, identifying needs … Protecting and preserving yourself in the face of challenging work, self-care is also important when dealing with the troubles that arise from our personal life e.g. bereavement, illness, family difficulties, financial stresses etc.

Most people however do not work with the most damaged people in society and do not need self care. They just need to live life.

If you do not have an awareness of your own being you should start your venture into the world of self care with some psychotherapeutic counselling or psychotherapy and identify your needs.

You will learn so much more about what drives you and why you feel that you need self care in the first place rather than engaging in the mind numbing process of self care by internet.

Businesses love the self care industry. Rather than blaming the businesses for their overworked, undervalued and stressed staff they can blame the lack of self care by those same staff. Very convenient

We here a lot about work life balance but who really has a job that work and life are shared equally?

Its hiding in plain sight
Hardware has drastically improved. We should have used the extra capacity wisely to catch serious mistakes and automate away our low-value grunt work. Instead we deliver systems that still randomly blow up only faster, and I do largely blame that on the languages we use.

I’m not going to say Lisp got everything right. Everything was mutable until Clojure came along, lack of type checking and inference hurts, and the condition system was so complicated that it’s been mostly ignored. But it’s still unrivaled in backing the domain-specific languages we should graduate to.
> Frankly, I wish new languages focused more on flexibility and expressiveness even if that made things harder up-front!

Design languages for experts, not beginners. It might be more difficult to get started but if it's well designed it pays off.
Ah yes apartment threading and all that. Read so much about that stuff, but will go to my grave having never understood it!
Each wanted to re-write the application rather than maintain it, but the business owners would not allow them the resources to do it.

One trick I've successfully used to get around this is to basically work on doing that in what would otherwise be slack time, at "background priority". Only when you're done do you give the business owners the proposal, and when they object, say that you already did it and show them the results. Of course this works only if you actually do have slack time, which is normally a given in the sort of enterprise environment these abominations usually get created in; and you understand the existing application to a sufficiently large extent and manage to find a way to simplify it to a fraction of its current size while maintaining backwards compatibility, something that seems to be the exact opposite of what the leads in this story wanted to do.

That's fair, and k6 is not for everyone. JS was chosen as it's a popular language with a large web ecosystem, but the tool itself is written in Go.

That said...

> I got a CI-ready Hurl config working on some endpoints for work sorted within like, 5 minutes of downloading it.

I'm obviously biased, but I'd argue that k6 is equally easy to get started with. Take a look at the docs[1].

> I’d hardly call hurl’s config bespoke

But it is. It has a unique syntax, and no other tool uses it, AFAIK. I'm not saying it's not simple or easy to understand, but it's not as expressive as a programming language. Which is fine if your tests don't require any logic, but from experience, in order to simulate accurate real-world traffic, which you probably want when writing a load/performance test, you do need some logic, different scheduling options, a way to process and analyze the metrics, etc.

I don't want to turn this into a versus battle, as there is a place for tools such as Hurl, ab, and wrk to coexist with tools like k6 and Locust. I just wanted to mention it as an option for anyone who hasn't heard about it, as any personal biases aside, I do think it's a great tool.

Even he had some challenges with releasing Doom:

> The bad news: this code only compiles and runs on linux. We couldn't release the dos code because of a copyrighted sound library we used (wow, was that a mistake -- I write my own sound code now), and I honestly don't even know what happened to the port that microsoft did to windows.

I would assume it's a lot more complicated today. Even the most simple programming projects tend to have a ton of dependencies nowadays.

And it doesn't even account for the fact that you might be killing future projects by handing out the blueprint of old games. Would Assassin's Creed Valhalla exist if we had 100 clones of Assassin's Creed III?
Not to the same extent, since many places don't deploy such extreme violence for policing, but yes, that happens elsewhere.
Caning doesn’t normalize beating people any more than fines normalize theft. Far from barbaric, it is a regulated punishment that can effectively deter repeat offenders. And if some portion of prison time were replaced with caning, it would reduce the US’ overflowing prison population. I’m sure you would agree that given how barbaric US prisons are, the less time spent there the better.

And as far as I can tell most of the police beatings are irregular, not regulated, and applied without judicial prescription or medical oversight. American police beatings are also usually legal or at least decriminalized however.
I don't know what you're saying here. Bait and switch is fraud. When adults fall for fraud it is still the fraudster who is in the wrong, not the victims.
No. CentOS stream is irrelevant here. RHEL customers cannot meaningfully distribute the sources of RHEL. This has been the issue since the beginning, it's just that RH has tightened the knobs progressively over the years.
Providing support services to those who desire to exit the sex trade broadens the options available to those in prostitution. It increases their agency by providing an alternative path, that is their choice to take or not take.
I am almost sure that the laptop was Lenovo, I have never seen any example of doing this to other laptops. For example, there are kits available to buy which can use a DP line as a source of image to Full-HD IPS instead of stock display (of course, DP port on the laptop stops having ability to connect an external monitor after this modification).
You realize you don't have to click on every link, right? If someone publishes something on Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook and you don't like the form on that particular website, you can just ignore it and move on.
Hey Andy here!

I started working on this project over 2 weeks ago and I think it's coming up pretty nicely!

SwitchFeat is under early stage development and for now I am setting up the overall project structure, putting in place a dashboard, authentication and the data stores.

Once I am done with the foundations, I can start building features on top of it.

Being an open source project, feel free to jump in and contribute!

Here it is the link to the GitHub repo, in case you are interested!
