It’s a lot of emotional arguments without any technical substance. I agree that for personal static information HTTP is good enough. Another good use case is the usage of HTTP for distribution of update packages for distorts like Debian since the OS can validate those packages using signatures. Other than that, HTTPS does make the web more secure and I don’t see a reason to rally against its widespread adoption.

While I do think this is an important conversation to have, and part of an even more important conversation about how much control Google/Chrome has over the web, I grudgingly disagree. I think signed data is table stakes for any communication over the internet, and encryption in most cases.

Let's Encrypt/ACME make encryption accessible enough in theory. That said, we're not there yet. Domain names still need to be easier to buy and use, and more software should use ACME by default (like Caddy does).

Imho it’s all just a purity test, coupled with so much of the tech community just loving drama. This is our equivalent to reality shows where there’s a celebrity train wreck.

I agree with you, Red Hat are a huge contributor to open source. Their business model lets them make money and then they use that money to contribute to projects in the wild. To me, it’s a win win.

I can understand why people would be upset with the changes. I don’t understand why they would be angry though.

The choice of down stream repackage distros has always been at RH’s convenience. This has always been clear since the day CentOS was a thing, and Rocky/Alma after it. Their product model depended on the whims of another product.
Most of those murals look much worse than advertisements to me. I guess there's less incentive to maintain them.

Cannot speak for Steam Deck, but now in July '23, pretty much all games work with Proton out of the box, (with between -10% and 15% performance loss) unless the game maker purposefully made the game unplayable on Linux (some AAA titles anti cheats for example).

And then, as a Linux user, you can just return any game you like, past the return window, by marking 'doesn't work on my system ' in the return wizard.

Sad thing that often the games that have the 15% performance hit are the ones most demanding of your hardware. It's also wierd playing some games on Linux, because clicking both left and right mouse button causes a middle click.

> Exactly, ultimately we are craftsmen, not artisans. They are two very distinct things. The difference being that the value of our output is directly tied to its' functional utility, not any sense of aesthetic or artistic expression.

That's the usual definition of an artisan as opposed to an artist. (Artisan vs. craftsman is a fuzzier distinction.)

This is not an argument in favour of a search engine/browser penalizing HTTP servers.
Our goal is to help people discover, test and validate startup ideas. We believe that a powerful free-text search engine is the best way to achieve this.

At this time, we focus on helping people find companies via their product and service offerings and not so much on 'who they are' (i.e. company characteristics, investors etc..). This is a fundamental difference to those platforms you mention.
> It just makes the lives of people who run websites harder.

User agent. The browser is meant to serve the user's interests. The wants or desires of people who run websites are their own problems, not the user agent's problems.

I don't even run first party javascript by default, only on a whitelist basis. Most of the time, even first party javascript only makes the website worse from my perspective as a user. Javascript's most common purpose is to implement annoyances and spyware, legitimate functionality comes third.
That's why the number is 1 and not 4. The processor is 4 wide so if it was doing the absolute theoretical maximum you'd get an IPC of 4. Brendan's "rule of thumb" of 1 is taking the multi-cycle thing into account.

This is less of an answer to your how question and more of a validation/market research to the restaurant idea you have.

I went to techstars with the cofounders of Nextbite (ordermark at the time) and they did very well in consolidating orders from all the online platforms for the restaurants. I don't know if they ever took on menus, but I do know that restaurants struggle with keep up to date with all the food apps. So, seems like your idea has some market validation! Good luck.

True, but I guess I meant more that people who are installing Gentoo aren’t necessarily cognizant of what is being compiled.

They’re not following each dependency, building it, then testing it, debugging etc…

That’s not a judgement on them. I wouldn’t want to do that either. I just meant to say that they “feel” different to me, even if the end result is the same.
Apple Demos vs. Amazon Memos
The Red Hat is now IBM. And IBM is the quintessential big evil corporation with a hundred years of dirty business practices, far beyond anything Microsoft or Apple has done.

Red Hat itself was mostly fine. I've competed against them and fought against their FUD. They're an enterprise software vendor no different from Oracle in this regard. But besides the sales and marketing knife fights necessitating unsavory tactics (everyone's does it), it was a mostly ethical decent business.

That said, as an old OS/2 fan and former IT executive that had to deal with large strategic outsourcing deals: IBM is not a trustworthy vendor, and plays old school dirty tactics in almost every large customer: from attempting to get people fired for questioning IBM, to near bribery. For this reason, I never want to do business with them or Red Hat unless I absolutely must.

I kind of love pichação style. It looked really ugly to me at first, but then grew on me as I saw more of it. It feels alien and cryptic and uncomfortable to me as a Westerner. I understand being sick of it if you live there, but as a tourist, it felt special. Local graffiti styles have become so homogenized in the U.S. At one point, script styles were much more local. NY and Philly especially. Eventually, everyone sort of saw and bit off everyone else and it was no longer possibly to tell where a writer was from from their work. São Paulo has a definitely style. Not just the tags, but Batman Alley and the huge public murals. It was the best city I have ever been to for street art.

Don't lie. Don't act/feel guilty. Embrace (in your head, in preparation) the reasons you had to leave as though they were your own. Only talk about the aspects of leaving your job that you have in common with a voluntary resignation on your own initiative.

If you were hiring someone, think about what you would want, and what you want to know. Anything negative in someone's past, you do not really care about it, you just care they are past it and it won't have negative future consequences.

Avoiding the negative aspects of your past is not a matter of deception, but of proving that you are emotionally ready to move on.

On a written job application, which in my experience comes at the end after they think they want you, be honest, but read it like a lawyer and make sure you don't disclose anything that you don't have to.
That's considered a radical stance, but I +1.

Ads should just be banned anywhere in general.

They concentrate power to those who already have it, because you can make more ads if you have more money. The local burger joint cannot compete against macdonals on advertising, the local soda against coca cola.

It's ugly, eat attention, and interrupt.

It creates business models with terrible incentives, which leads to censorship in medias, quantity over quality, attention driven content, etc.

It encourages mass surveillance, and is used to influence society in the worse ways, making it dangerous to democracy.

Finally, if you remove ads, suddenly you get a much better filter for things: if people don't think it's worth even a little bit of money, let it die. It was not worth it.

Besides, even if you pay, you still see ads. You see submarine articles in paid newspaper, ads before your movies in the theater, ads in your bus ride...

Can you imagine, all this ads money, now free to be invested in something else?

It isn't HTTPS that's the issue so much as centralisation under CAs. Self signed certificates should not throw up a warning on sites that don't deal with sensitive data.
I’m bad for hidden drafts too. It feels slightly crazy to put all that effort into planning, writing, editing, and creating code/content for a post only to let it sit there.
This issue has gotten a lot of attention on HN lately, but I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it. If anyone can clarify my understanding I'd appreciate it.

My understanding is that Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be thought of as Fedora + stability + patches, and that the patches themselves should be released downstream as part of the GPL.

What's now changed is that these patches are either (a) not distributed as required by the GPL, or (b) the patches are distributed, but in a way that is intentionally less useful, e.g. by having to get them via the Red Hat portal. This has made it more difficult for "repackagers" like CentOS, Rocky and Alma to keep their disros up to date.

Assuming I have the above correct (and I may not), my suspicion is that Red Hat is looking at cloud providers who also have been repackaging, for example, Amazon Web Services' Amazon Linux has historically been RHEL repackaged and bundled with some aws tools. I'm not aware of AWS distributing their changes either. From this perspective, it looks like the AWS benefits from the stability + patches without paying RedHat for their development. (I'm also not aware of whether aws distributes the Amazon Linux sources and if so those are done in a way that is useful for the community... I'll do some further research on my own. edit: It looks like the Amazon Linux sources are here: https://github.com/amazonlinux/linux)

And some cells do not reproduce (neurons, etc), so you have to keep them in good shape, except this is impossible. For example 1/3 people are infected with Herpes virus which stays in their neurons.

In addition some cells reproduce only a few times, often only during youth.

As an interviewer, the only signal I ever take away from interviewee questions is if they manage to come across like a complete asshole. And this isn't common because most people aren't complete assholes, and those who are usually have displayed their colors earlier on in the interview.

As an interviewee, I refuse to put any effort into gaming the system and hoping to come across as a better candidate. I treat these sessions as me interviewing them. And yes, this means that a lot of times my questions will come across as banal. But you can get some decent signal on red flags by asking several potential peers to describe their day, challenges that they're facing, and that sort of thing.
For most of human history pee urine was left to get stale, turning it into ammonia, and used for doing laundry.

I can’t help but notice how much assumption and spin is heaped into that comment. FWIW, neither of those states is in the bottom ten by per-capita GDP. Is your claim based on absolute GDP, and if so, why? Most of the states that actually are in the bottom ten by per-capita GDP have a lot of billboard advertising, so how do you rationalize your suggestion that outdoor advertising is linked to economic activity? Texas and California are both in the list of states least friendly to billboards, and they are the top 2 states in absolute GDP. https://billboardinsider.com/the-8-least-friendly-states-tow...

> it’s not like they really are giving up much with not having advertisements.

What a strange statement. I’m sure you’re aware that ranking states by GDP says nothing about their absolute economic measures. You cannot claim that being low in the rankings leaves them with nothing to lose, that’s just poor logic. The per-capita GDP of Vertmont is about $63k per year, while Colorado (which is in the top 10) for example is $82k per year.
For the Windows 10 start menu you may benefit from disabling it's "online" component. On my system it makes opening the start menu and searching for items nearly instant:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

While you're there, you can also reduce menu delay:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"MenuShowDelay"="20"

Windows 10 really benefits from tuning. I periodically run WDP and O&O ShutUp10++ to turn off various telemetry things and my system is super snappy (870 EVO, 4th Gen i7, 32GB, 1080Ti).

FDB is fault-tolerant, auto-scaling, auto-healing, and auto-sharding. The sorted bytes-to-bytes map data format and multi-row transactions lets a skilled developer build almost anything on top of it. Atomic operations let you do things with higher performance without worrying about conflicts. Ops can be a learning curve but it is mostly because people run it at the red-line 24/7 for maximum efficiency. If you were running it at 3/4 capacity you would never worry about it at all. A single binary for all roles makes it very easy to deploy.

AFAIK, no one has lost a byte to an FDB issue.
Nor the fact they still show ads before the movie you paid for.

> The idea that we'll find 1 magical variable (telomere length or some protein) that can be fixed and ALL the changes of aging...

Agree with this, but on the other hand: the idea that the body is "a machine" that comes out of the factory in "new" condition and slowly degrades by wear, accidents and corrosion is also a wrong analogy. The body doesn't just degrade because of entropy. Bodies bootstrap themselves to some pristine state and can return to it, after injuries or illness, for tens of years.
The ability to restore an optimal state is just lost, it's not something that needs to be invented again.

While I don’t necessarily agree with all the points in this article (it takes only a little more effort to make a site https rather than http), I do think comparing the complete deprecation of http to a wide scale book burning is on the nose.

As the author said, many old http sites that have been on the web for more than a decade are rarely maintained, if at all. Removing access to these sites in totality would definitely take a large percentage of them offline for good. This should be avoided.
Yes! By the time I was in high school in Ontario (early 90s) we had PCs as I recall, but in grade school there were Pets and then later ICONs. At home a lot of kids had C64s, though my family’s first machine was an IBM XT clone.

I vaguely remember a mysterious “other room” where ICON-related things happened - this must have been where the LEXICON server was located.
