The company that’s really behind Proton [1] sells „CrossOver“ as a commercial product to run Windows applications on MacOS, Linux and ChromeOS with enhanced compatibility compared to free Wine. IIRC they started out to selling „CrossOver Office“ running MS Office seamlessly on a Linux desktop. If you want to support their effort you could buy a license for under $100 and run many Windows titles and games w/o emulation or the Steam client.

We use ZFS on every server we deploy

We typically use Proxmox. It’s a convenient node host setup and usually has a very up to date zfs and it’s stable

I just wouldn’t use the Proxmox web ui for zfs configuration. It doesn’t have up to date options. Always configure zfs on the cli
why not just use Shopify, and Shopify as PoS?

It's because a human you can be accountable and can feel consequences, and yes, also because you aren't as fast.

I feel like many people just equivalent "human brain and consciousness" with "neural network" way too quickly. You can't remove the human factor however much you try to equivelate(?) it with a program.

Oh hah, I didn't even notice you were talking about job listings instead of candidates. Candidates do this too was my point. But you're 100% correct. Companies are *really* bad about this when interviewing/screening/talking to candidates.

I go out of my way to talk in general terms, but then I'll see a colleague talk in secret code. And it's like, what on earth do they think the candidate took away from that?
On point 3, well, yes. If your mother or teacher wanted to, and had the means and opportunity to do so. Whether or not you find artistic merit in those drawings has little bearing on the expression of pride that might drive your parent or teacher to publish that art. It doesn't have any bearing on the feelings that are evoked by the observer, whether it's your revulsion at your own productions, or the delight from normal folks when seeing displays of public art.

You said "Real art is deep, meaningful, timeless and doesn't need to be imposed."

Sand Mandalas are deeply meaningful, but completely timeless - most are created to be destroyed, often within days or hours of completion. Brueghel's Flatterers is a relatively crass, surface level, but lasting commentary on what we often refer to as Musk fanboys and such these days :P

Fundamentally, art is human expression, and your attempts to gatekeep that have fallen pretty flat so far.

Zuckerberg seems to focus on more business level blunders instead of Musk's operative level blunders, so I think this might just as well work.
Dataloaders replace N+1 with E queries (where E is the number of separate entity types to fetch) and an in-memory merging of all datasets (huge if you're not careful).

They are a solution, but not necessarily a good one. And GraphQL doesn't lend itself to goos solutions.
I know where you're coming from but the reality is that a lot of those things are increasingly less relevant. I'm not sure what real advantage I get today from having done racking and cabling of physical servers back in the day. In a managed Kubernetes world, I haven't leveraged my ability to run a massive pool of Linux servers in a long time (I kind of miss that btw). For all intents and purposes you can be a great DevOps / Cloud Engineer / SRE or whatever you want to call it without ever seeing a non-cloud system.
Exactly. The go-to excuse for having phones in school is "B-b-but EMERGENCIES!"

Such an easily defeated argument, as you point out.

> 10-20% of the cost of coke/pepsi cans is just the cost of ads

I think this is an important point. If coke and pepsi were not allowed to advertise, they could only compete on price and quality.

This is clearly a win for consumers. For coke and pepsi, maybe a small to moderate loss of revenue? But then their costs would definitely go down (no advertising spend), so it wouldn't necessarily be a net loss even for them.

Not necessarily countering your point, but perhaps giving some perspective.

The City I grew in (Cordoba) has a roman bridge[1], originally built 1st century BC and still standing. It supported a 2-way street until 2004, when it was pedestrianised.

Caveats:

* It has gone over a great deal of renovations/partial rebuilds on its history, so its durability can not really be attributed to roman concrete alone. Only 2 of the original 16 arcades remain. One could argue that "it's not the same bridge" any more (Theseus' Bridge).

* I ignore wether they used concrete to build the original one. I'm not an architect. For all I know, the initial construction could have been mortarless stone, and cement (as well as reinforcement) could have been added in some of the later renovations.

That said, all bridges require periodical servicing/renovations anyway, in order to remain functional. And this one has stand for 2000 years.

It doesn’t solve it, but it lets you build a system that solves it for all future queries going forward. Think of it as a platform for taking endpoint specifications (ie GraphQL queries) and satisfying them efficiently. You have to build the part which makes it efficient, but once that’s done, it’s done.

I'm afraid you are missing my point completely. Because they found a way to make money off of open source, us neckbeards have been able to continue using open source for the rest of our careers, and it just keeps getting better and better! And we don't have to hide in the basement of the skunk works anymore! And we have literally hundreds of Linux distros to chose from now! It's totally fine if you don't like RHEL at all, it really isn't for you. But the money it makes off of the suits totally benefits us neckbeards, because open source is awesome like that!
> the humiliation of considering paying for Twitter to scroll my addiction is giving me a smidge of empathy for the bros who pay for sex

I think this is a really important point for Twitter's business.

Many users know, subconsciously or consciously, that they use Twitter too much or in an unhealthy way. Explicity paying for it would make the problem feel real.

I personally went through this conundrum with Discord, and had to delete the apps.

And I think Elon is oblivious to this issue because he is a oblivious Twitter addict.

> In Germany [2], you can photograph people from public locations but not if they are nude or vulnerable or in their home. “ You can’t take photos of people if it shows their helplessness.1 For example, you can’t take photos of accident victims, drunk people or nude people without their permission.”

Not how I learned it. You can take pictures of public spaces as long as a specific person is not the focus of the picture. The other aspects, like the invasion of privacy when a person is nude, only come on top of that.

The law around questions like this is not definitive, so a lot depends on recent court decisions.
There's something to be said for building out your vision and testing whether others are interested. It was refreshing to see the grandparent post because the usual startup advice seems to be to abandon your vision entirely and build some average SaaS thing that's a composite of other successful things. (a) I don't think that actually works and (b) if people want to do that, why not just get a job, if you're effectively going to be just as constrained. It's much more fun to try and take a risk, if entrepreneurship is the space you want to play in.
Actually, Drew's presentations about Netflix, FreeBSD, ZFS, saturating high-bandwidth network adapters, etc. are legendary and have been posted far and wide. But having him available to answer questions on HN just takes it to a whole 'nother level.
It’s not just companies though, it’s people. Lower costs win, factoring in quality which is just another way of saying “how many replacements of this cheap thing do I need before it’s with buying this expensive thing”.
It's going to depend on the game. Games like Skyrim are essentially just modding sandboxes, and you can measure this at least reasonably objectively. SkyUI is a single extremely popular mod for Skyrim. It's been downloaded by 6.5 million unique users from a single site hosting it [1], another 1.5 million on the Steam workshop, and who knows how many others from everywhere else.

That is almost certainly a vast majority of PC users using that single mod! This is also probably why Bethesda tried to make 'paid mods' a thing, and bring them over to consoles. Not only does PC seem to be their best selling platform, but people are largely buying Skyrim to mod it, and Bethesda wanted to try to start taking a cut of it.

On the other hand I'd completely agree with you for games where modding isn't so well supported. That results in more technical issues, and less impressive mods. I mean in games like Skyrims you have literally entirely new and complete games built as 'mods.' Some even get their own independent releases, like Enderal [2], which many would claim is [vastly] better than Skyrim itself.

It's the same in Norway.

Taking a photo of a public square with a lot of people in it is still legal without asking everyone for consent. But the topless photo example would not be legal at all without consent or even just a photo where one specific person or small group is the focus.

Edit: taking the photo itself might be ok in the latter case, but publishing it (like posting to facebook or a blog or forum) is not.

Right. Functions and data can not be decoupled because functions must know what properties of data they need to access. So functions by necessity depend on data. BUT data, if it is really "data" should NOT depend on functions. So we have reduced what would be bi-directional dependency problem into one directional one.

In a typical OOP design there would be no clear rules as to who can depend on whom and whom not.
I read about stuff like this every month, but then people (on the internet) tell me there are no uses for blockchains and they're exlusively for scams (yes, scams exists, a lot of them).

> Double lifespan sounds like a nightmare if we don't dramatically change all of society first.

See I'm not worried because odds are this won't be a simple intervention. It won't be "take this pill daily to 2X your lifespan". It will likely be an incredible effort that takes constant discipline and daily commitment. And most people simply are incapable or unwilling to do that.

I expect only fraction of a percent to maybe do the work necessary, and even then, it will come at a huge personal expense.

One of his signature motifs is to put a checkerboard in everything. Do an image search for "kobra checkerboard" and you'll see. I find it a bit cliché and it doesn't appeal to my asthetics.
It does indeed.

I like your idea of suggesting multiple selectors. Don't know how that didn't cross my mind.

But in short, I am trying to generate selectors that would rely on the contents rather than attributes (like CSS).

I am also trying to detect selectors that are generated vs manually typed (i.e. likely to remain static vs generated).

Just heads up that the version that is approved by Google Chrome Store does not include all the latest changes. I've made a ton of improvements to this over the last two days, and they take quite a while to review.

You will need many millions of them, and enough generating capacity to power then all. That is many years away. Likely decades.

There's also no technological issue preventing the expansion of hydrogen stations. It's also worth noting that this directly replaces the gas station, both in number and location. This is not nearly as big of a challenge as you might think. Unlike charging stations, which must exist in much greater numbers and new locations.
Using this logic why post anything more than once about any topic, because "we've seen it before".
I've written three books now with Markdown (in emacs), and I love it. The simplicity makes it very easy to focus on the content and export in diverse ways (which I find important for editing). My stack is:

- Markdown mode in terminal emacs
- Pandoc export with .emacs script or shell script for books with chapters in separate files
- Zotero with BibLaTex to manage .bib file
- Git for version control

This has worked beautifully for three trade books and one academic one. The only sad part is when we shift from writing and revising to copyediting, when I have to edit the press's track changes in LibreOffice.

The button on the browser just navigates to the URL `git-peek://https://github.com/name/repo`. How your system handles this git-peek protocol is completely up to you. While the git-peek package does offer to setup a handler for this custom git-peek protocol, I went ahead and set it up manually. Now, my system calls this bash script whenever it encounters the git-peek protocol:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Expects a single argument: git-peek://<path>
# Example: git-peek://https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/peek
kitty --single-instance --detach -e zsh -c "source ~/.zshrc; git peek $1"

You can set it up to do anything you like.
This is not the default, and frankly should not be.
> It really is not a bold statement when specifically talking about Cities Skylines. That game would be nothing without its community of modders

After being just about finished with the game, I decided to try some mods. Things that should address pain points, like indeed not actually being able to use most of the map, and traffic management.

The traffic turned into so much micromanagement to get cars to pick the right lane, and every time you made a change anywhere it required updating half a dozen other intersections as well, it just wasn't fun to grow the city bigger than possible in vanilla.

I remember one of the last games being an attempt at public transport only, where housing and shopping and such were accessible only by taking the subway. That worked super well in some aspects, and it's fun to design the mass transportation systems to underpin that city, but Skylines is so much geared towards vehicles that I didn't feel this was a proper city either. (From what I remember of a single game I played five years ago.)

Anyway, what I'm trying to say: based on my own and my girlfriend's experience, not everyone plays with memory-hungry mods, or any mods at all

I stopped reading the post the moment I saw that.
It requires those contributors to license their contributions under the same license, which as a valid open source license will allow distributing all the contributions under a larger work under that license (or compatible licenses). You're right this makes _changing_ license a lot harder, but to an extent, that's the point, as if you could easily jump from LGPL to Apache or something, there's very few ways you could make that allowance without making it easy to go to full proprietary.

The DCO is basically the legal CYA your lawyers might require from contributors saying "I wrote this code any any future contributions I will submit and am happy to license it under X". Notably unlike CLA, it doesn't assign ownership to the recipient or give them permission to arbitrarily relicense.
If legality is stopping them then you have nothing to fear. They can’t legally hack your computer for visiting their public site either.
