> the judge ordered a slew of federal agencies and more than a dozen top officials not to communicate with social media companies about taking down “content containing protected free speech” that’s posted on the platforms.

Just going off the article it’s talking about preventing unelected officials from limiting the free speech of citizens via back channel communication with social media companies. Elected officials representing their constituents has nothing to do with this.

Paying $12 a month to get health advice from Youtube sure seems like a problem that'll sort itself out in short order.
To be honest, I still like Twitter more than Mastodon. I spend 5 minutes a day on Mastodon and double that on Twitter.

My problem with Mastodon is that I have a difficult time finding people to follow who are at the top of their fields in computer science, AI, math, etc.
I'm not sure this is true. Social networks, as in the underlying human phenomenon of communicating with other people, do a phenomenal job of spreading information.

Consider personally important news: some combination of ground-shaking global events, plus stories specific to one's interests, plus some local news. We hear about these things anyway! I heard about the war in Ukraine from friends and acquaintances before seeing it in a newspaper, with less waffling and including links to more in-depth analysis. I hear about human interest stories that actually interest me, weird bits of software/archeology/gaming/ecology/literature/sports/local stuff, instead of random articles about any old thing. I'm more up to date on local gossip than the actual media sometimes, since people who are unwilling to answer a reporter's questions are happy to just have a chat. The most serious news eventually ends up on HN in one form or another, which is at least an industry-specific link aggregator with less whiplash.

Probably there's news I need to know, and weekly might be an okay compromise, but even monthly or quarterly news would be supplemented by people telling me things.
It has slightly higher overhead than normal process, because the process will use a different set of userland libraries than your host normally uses (increasing memory usage) and the filesystem inside the container has a high chance to be a convoluted mess of overlaysfs mounts.

That said, it is hardly a "bloat".
If anything all books are merely published bias. No issue reading them but don't take books as gospel. They are just as fallible as every other medium.

demeaning to suggest that the life condition you described is one of "fighting over scraps"

Nobody likes leaving the cave.

GP is not suggesting people deserve to become super-wealthy, but is pointing out that it is very hard to get out of financial survival into thriving without considerable luck or an unusual degree of innovative ability and ready access to capital.
Wow, I have nothing to add except this is exactly what I was looking for prior to abandoning my last project... time to dig it back up again. Amazing stuff.
It might be a reasonable thing for a candidate to do. But for a company to judge me based on whether or not I've done it is silly.
Data from the past is less accurate and incomplete.

That creates a bias for recent data even if the real atmospheric temperatures have not changed. We're forced to treat the data as the source of truth only because it's all we have, but we shouldn't assume the data is perfect. In statistics, picking out individual data points is about as silly as it gets.
surely being 80x faster than humans is less relevant than how it performs relative to herbicides?

Spraying crops is likely faster and cheaper than using lasers, but externalities are not being factored into the cost.
Something very similar can be said about the majority of social media comments.
This goes to the core of what Mark Twaine said "Don't those that buy paper by the ton and ink by the barrel."
You're not required to bring everything you've believed your entire life to your political campaign though. In fact, it's better not to. You're there to do a job, not get a prize for believing things.
LXD is really great software. The majority of the contributions already come from canonical, so I doubt this will make much difference in the trajectory of the project.

I will say that I prefer running LXD on NixOS hosts where it isn't packaged as a snap. Hopefully canonical doesn't somehow break that.
Stéphane Graber's work is fantastic and LXD had a lot of potential. But Canonical managed to drive me away from it with that abomination called Snap and its auto updates that could bring down a cluster without warning.

The post is from 2006. I wonder how he would have written it differently or not at all during the pandemic or if he was a refugee, for example. Of course, these are extreme cases, but they demonstrate that you have to be in a special position to be able to perceive the news as a “waste of time”.

I also have the habit of avoiding most news, but I believe it did not serve me well, since I have been ignorant about many current issues and often feel ashamed when I don’t know things that are very relevant to the lifes of people around me that I may talk to. Especially when there was a recent disaster or political event that made a huge impact and I just missed it and thereby fail to sympathize with someone who is directly affected by it.

But I also see how reading the news can really drag me down and feed into my depression, so a healthy balance always worked best for me, like catching up once or twice a week. I have yet to find a good aggregate source of quality, independent news though.

Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) - - cousin of PETN, for which the detonation velocity of ETN is just above 8,000 meters per second - - while PETN det vel is about 8,300 meters per second plus, which is in the top 90% of highest velocity detonation velocities available from high explosives.

ETN is about 3 times more sensitive than PETN and is more sensitive to friction than the former mentioned compound. The decomposition of ETN is oxygen positive: C4H6N4O12 → 4 CO2 + 3 H2O + N2 + 3/2 O.

Why would any professional mess around with something that is 3x more sensitive than PETN ? Easier synthesis perhaps, but life changing or ending, if it detonates accidentally

PETN is the preferred explosive in the widely used "det cord", likely for a good reason, at 3x less sensitive.
Anyone who has spent a good chunk of their life trying to keep things as minimal as possible after being “inspired” by such articles can understand the reaction. There’s no reason a sensible comment, even if it’s a bit emotionally charged, should trigger your zen master spidey sense.

I'm moving away from github because of recent uncertainty about them stealing from private repos.

In the past I used it for backups and versioning plus managing PRs even for solo stuff. Now I've started using my VPS as the upstream server, and realized that even on a team project I can replace a lot of the core github functionality easily. The big advantage being there is an automatic extra backup (My computer is backed up anyway but the post probable failure mode is me screwing up git somehow so it's good to have a remote upstream)
> The "sexism"

Not sure why the scare quotes. What he said was definitely sexist and doesn't need defending; and no one's claimed his sexism was the cause of the accident, so that argument doesn't need refuting either.
I think that's more true than people, especially pure engineers, would like to think

Ultimately companies are made out of individuals going through their own lives and making decisions as they go. Raising capital, selling software, and getting a job offer are all very much sales processes. That means very real human + numbers components.

Agreed on the numbers side too on the long-view.. join a company, vest + 1yr, and either stay if it's growing or on to the next one. At least a couple times, stay longer - ideally at the growers - so you can go up in learned seniority too vs just in title. An equally important numbers game.
> You can assign dedicated storage devices to your database. Outside of mount operations you're not going to see much alien fsync activity. This is paranoid.

This is word salad. Do you even know what fsync is for? I'm not even asking if you know how it works... What is "alien" fsync activity? Mount is perhaps the one system call that has nothing to do with fsync... so, I wouldn't expect any fsync activity when calling mount...

Finally, I didn't say that you cannot allocate a dedicated storage device -- what I said is that Kubernetes or Docker or Singularity or containerd or... well, none of container (management) runtimes that I've ever used know how to do it. You need external tools to do it. The point isn't that you cannot, the point is that a container runtime will only stand in your way when you try to do it.

> You can pin kubelet CPU cores. You can ensure exclusive access to the remaining ones.

No you cannot. Not through Kubernetes. You need to do this on the node that hosts kubelet.

And... I don't have the time or the patience necessary to answer to the rest of the nonsense. Bottom line: you don't understand what you are replying to, and arguing with something I either didn't say, or just stringing meaningless words together.

Frontend engineer recently laid off from JLL which I came to through the acquisition and closure of Envio Systems where I worked on their commercial building analytics dashboard aimed at reducing energy consumption across large commercial real-estate portfolios. RIP. Most of my work there involved migration of the complex legacy Angular 1.x codebase into a react/typescript/redux component library, including previously written tests and other heavily angular-dependent frontend bits such as angular-resource. I'm currently working on a mac app in Swift and SwiftUI, as well as looking for a new position in no particular industry, ideally on a small team where I can either continue as an individual contributor or something slightly higher-level. I enjoy iterative processes, lean development lifecycles, learning new codebases, and experimenting with tools that help with developer productivity such as Vite.

Location: Vancouver, Canada
Remote: Yes please, but am somewhat flexible regarding intermittent travel
Willing to Relocate: After a year for the right company and location, it's possible but unlikely

Technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, React, Node (largely in-support of frontend build tooling), Angular.js 1.x (ideally only in terms of migrating to something else), Golang (minimal, mostly experimental), Swift/SwiftUI for macOS, GitHub/Jira, Docker, Python (Bit of Django, Flask, etc.. not expert)

> Like even they know YouTube is dying

I'm not sure how you drew that conclusion. Of course Floatplane subscribers get the sponsorships edited out, that's the benefit of being a sponsor.

LTT was worried about their Youtube dependence, so created Floatplane. The fact of the matter is they wouldn't be in existence without Youtube and would probably die, even with Floatplane now existing.

There's no evidence anywhere that Youtube is dying.
Because their work does not directly financially support the university in the short-term, so any forms of protest negatively affect their own advisors while the institution feels very little impact. There are still student unions and this is an ongoing discussion in the academic community.

Again, why do you claim phd students are "not assertive" with "impaired cooperation skills"? Or is that just a personal judgement on your part?

Personal blog / portfolio. Like most developers, I have a hard time publishing more than a post or two per year.
I disagree. Parsers are tedious to write and obscure corner cases crop up over the course of development that make us completely change our approach to parsing or the grammar. You have to be pretty expert to get the grammar and parsing to work right the first time. Type inference is tough, but it’s not difficult the way writing a parser is. Codegen (suboptimal but functional) is even easier.

But yeah, write the vertical slice and implement a print builtin are good tips.
String theory hasn't been able to reproduce either the Standard Model or General Relativity. They have lots of arguments for why they should, but they can't even come up with existing physics, let alone predict anything that can be tested.

This after around 40 years of work.

We have no real evidence because it can't even make a prediction that could be tested.
Why do I keep (mis)remembering a fact that most members of the human race are alive right now?
They're likely using a NAS (e.g., FreeNAS/TrueNAS) that uses ZFS for the underlying storage then sharing that storage by either NFS or iSCSI with their vSphere cluster. In some rare cases FC is being used instead of NFS or iSCSI.
Since the last video I have been seriously thinking about making these powders as a hobby. The problem is that I want to mix them with some paint or resin to get a more permanent application. I know this needs some research but any ideas about where to start?
Wow. That's quite a mouthful.

Don't let yourself be reduced to statistics by following blindly the words of fools. Don't get paralysis by analysis. Get in there and get stuff done.

Git is a tool to version your work. Everything else is extra. Feeling bad for not having branches that "do one _useful(?)_ thing" and commits including their own tests, what the?

Articles like these are toxic, imho. Use tools to empower you, not enslave you.
Wow that is actually super rude. I paid 500 dollars for crossover and tried to use it and found that it lacked features that bottles offered. To flippantly call it a clone and imply that it doesn't offer anything special is really unnecessary.

i make two kinds of websites:

- static. markdown rendered to html using github’s api[1].

- dynamic. a go binary and an html file with inlined js zipped together and shipped somewhere[2].

it’s nice to never consider the machinery of either of these anymore. instead i think about building interesting things.

cf workers + r2 are a great addition to this when heavy egress is needed.

It may have, I didn't really HN much at the time.

On the other hand, for 'business' cases it was way, way easier to deal with than FTP, at least at the time.

When dropbox was coming into vogue, I was working as a 'drafter' that happened to spend more than half of his time coding AutoLISP routines and doing larger automation/tooling efforts via VBA and C#. (Ironically, I didn't really do VBA for Excel but did do some C# for it[0])

But outside of all that, I was working in an environment with a lot of 'construction' folks. The 'Ask them to open internet explorer and they click on their AOL icon'[1] types. To say nothing of an IT department that required a lot of ceremony and wait-time to open up IP addresses for FTP use.

Dropbox was a godsend. The UX was easy enough for the contractors to use, the IT department was overall fairly accepting of it, and frankly I thought it was great even if I made similar comments to my father about it when he asked me about "the cloud".

All of that said, I do think it did get enshittified at some point, but I don't remember when or what it was.

[0] - Bentley was, to my understanding, one of the few (only?) non-microsoft companies to have VBA support for their application. While the first things I wrote for it were in VBA (because I wasn't allowed to have VS at first,) after a certain point I was down to just a couple routines that were somehow faster to do in VBA than via the C# COM wrapper. Versus Excel, everything was VSTO.

Thanks, I was looking at the quote from Alex Gardner under the discussion of observables. It might be I’m misinterpreting what was meant by that.
Yes the trick used against KataGo would likely not have worked on AlphaGo.

But then again ... It took humans not AlphaGo to find the exploit.

Still a victory for the meatbags.

Solo dev, do take a look at Fossil SCM. It's git-ish, but human scale (rather than Linux kernel scale).
Read a book by an expert if you'd like to know an order of magnitude more about a subject than the average TV-watching person. Once catch is that it needs to be an actual unbiased quality source. Not all of them are of course.

For example, a couple of years after 9/11 I read Richard Clarke's book Against All Enemies (later Tenet's and others) and was gobsmacked about all the misguided sound-bites being repeated by regular folks.
Except they aren't remotely in a better position.

Vehicles travel for hundreds of miles in the event of a major storm. Some places may be up to 6 weeks without power upon returning. So you drive your battery powered car back home, and now it's dead, and you have no way to recharge it. Guess what you're going to be relying on to get basic essentials given that FEMA vehicles are NOT coming to you to deliver food? Someone else's ICE.

So when it's 100 degrees and 90 percent humidity outside and your neighbors with the ICE vehicles have gone to the gas stations for refills to both their vehicles AND their generators so that they can run a portable AC unit, you're utterly out of luck with your electric paperweight. I suppose you have a shot if you still have working solar panels, but in the situations I mentioned... LOL. Even if the winds don't shred them, the debris will.
I mostly agree though I think there is value in discipline. Without some self imposed rules it's easy for some of us (me anyway) to get sloppy so it can help to force yourself into some guidelines.
