i may be completely wrong on this (and i hope i am wrong) but i have the impression that licensing is the only thing really profitable in the corporate world. i believe support only works if it is combined with licensing because the margins are much lower otherwise. red hat could not pay for all the engineers they have now on support contracts alone.

Sure, Margaret Thatcher accidentally did us a favour by killing the coal unions.

But just in case you thought "Good, no more coal" the Tories actually authorised a brand new coal mine not so long ago, because sure, it's a terrible idea but it will make somebody wealthy and as we see here, their priority is to make the wealthiest people even wealthier.

The USA's rail lines are privatized and they're anything but "shitty" and "expensive" considering they're lower cost than trucking.
If LTS contracts are that lucrative, are the new Stream release models missing the market?

Are there time-to-patch metrics for comparison with and without stream as compared with IDK Fedora git?

Rpms/kernel explains: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel :

> The kernel is maintained in a source tree rather than directly in dist-git. The specfile is maintained as a template in the source tree along with a set of build scripts to generate configurations, (S)RPMs, and to populate the dist-git repository.

Here are fedora's kernel patches:
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/commits/ark-patc...

RHEL <= 9 has kernel-lt (Long Term) and kernel-ml (mainline) kernel patchsets and packages: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=kernel-lt

There used to be a stack of numbered kernel patches in the kernel SRPM Source RPM, but now what is the best way to diff centos-stream-9's main branch with Torvalds/git:main? AFAIU kernel distributors must dist patches because GPLv2; packaging workflows are irrelevant to license terms?
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-st...

Fedora and many other distros do a lot of valued work, too.

FWICS there are FIPS kernel variants for Ubuntu <= 20.04 LTS (2020) but not 22.04 LTS (2022), and Debian and Ubuntu don't have the selinux policy set that Fedora and RHEL+EPEL have. https://ubuntu.com/kernel

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480033 :

> Would it be feasible to sed-replace the RHEL and/or Fedora selinux and container-selinux rulesets for use with other Linux distros?

> "AFAIU only SUSE can run both AppArmor and SELinux?

> And browsers are running as unconfined in selinux with like all major distros; even on ChromiumOS

Act like you added `systemd-nspawn respawn` to every SysV-init script and correctly formatted the epoch time in the correct column of each of the log files to merge and then logship again.

Conda-forge's GitHub PRs to feedstocks model works, but there are no grub or uboot or selinux-policy-targeted or container-selinux or kernel packages in conda-forge or Alpine linux.

Can't speak for other commercial tools but EDA tool vendors usually support very specific versions of Linux usually RHEL and SUSE.

Until recently even Xilinx's tools would balk at installation on Centos.

When the corp has spent millions on EDA tools, RHEL's yearly subscription looks like peanuts.
There's also a thing where software supports Mac and Windows, but really needs a lot of memory and storage, so the absurd markups Apple went back to charging in the Apple silicon era make it unviable for all but the most profitable workloads. I looked into Apple when laptop shopping recently, but couldn't justify or afford the markup to get the storage and memory I can put in the laptop I went with for a fraction of the cost.
I'm a Kiwi (now in the UK) and you're absolutely right. I always avoided forwarders because: no company warranty, no consumer protection, etc.

Forwarders are just grey market. Good for cheap items, but not so much for devices.

I miss the Kiwi attitude & the paradise on Earth environment, but I certainly don't miss being left out of the rest of the world, no easy access to products & services and long shipping times besides.

Costa Rica’s Energy Plant Problems Affect Nicaragua
I am by no means a professional, but from the time I have went down the rabbit hole, Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 method seems to be generally well-appreciated. (I remember having read the linked article as well).

But.. he is a terrible writer, his book is all around the place - so I absolutely agree with your general point. Some people simply suck at writing, even if the content might well worth sharing. Just hire a writer in this case! Fortunately there are shorter summaries of the method, so you don’t have to suffer through the book.
Using your faulty logic, the owners of the privatized corporations are public citizens too.
More of a general nooby question: what would be a good way to read through code like this? Where to start? How to understand what's going on and when? etc.
That should be a dead giveaway that you're on the wrong side.
You look at these crappy companies and the problem you see is unionised staff?

Have you seen the dividends and bonuses at Thames Water, or read the article posted here?
In the UK, we have a similar system, and for a decent time it actually did deliver low energy prices for us. The way this worked was that a new energy provider could easily set up and offer low tariffs, backed by private investment and a gamble that long-term prices would stay low. Of course, when prices rose, that gamble failed... and who picked up the bill? Why, the taxpayer, of course! [1]

The overall effect of this game was that more astute consumers, who tended to switch to the lower-cost providers, were ultimately subsidised by the less-astute consumers who stuck with the traditional players. Or to put it another way, the rich were subsidised by the poor.

Undercutting a competitor for your "business" [interests] is business 101.

And RH deserves all the spite it can get too.
Interesting game. But there are some annoying bugs due to which I can't play it much. Sometimes my clock randomly resets to 0. Sometimes the game ends randomly and makes one person winner when they have not satisfied the winning conditions.

It gets frustrating when this happens near the end of game when I am just about to win but the game randomly decides to reset my clock or stop the game and make the other person winner!
Yeah to my newb eyes, the core of machine learning can (and probably is) as scientific as any mathematics goes (granted they try novel ideas, and not applying old solutions). Now openai sits more on the scaling/engineering to make his business.

This warrants emphasis, as this is the logical outcome of how the socioeconomic systems are nowadays. "Evil people conspiring together" are absolutely not necessary. And equally no amount of "good people" will remove that end condition.

Sorry for my choice of words, you may be right after all, English isn't my native language. But of all idioms, yours isn't without irony either ;)
Fascinating! Thank you. So, it's in there, but it needs to be exposed in a reliable way?
I'm pretty surprised more people dont use logit biases to call openai with. Checking if something is either a or b means that the tokens for those letters must be 100 weight which means they will be chosen no matter what and no other character is allowed.
> Those in the unions are the public

This is a nonsense delineation in systems thinking. That railroad shareholders are also the public doesn't justify ripping them off.

Unions are beholden to the same impulses towards monopoly and rent-seeking as corporations. Swap members (i.e. sellers of labour) for shareholders (i.e. sellers of capital) and employers (i.e. buyers of labour) for customers (i.e. buyers of goods and services) and union management starts looking remarkably like its corporate analog, churning undifferentiated workers into a differentiated and thus premium block of labour as truly as a mill grinds forests into houses.
I don't know if it's still there but there used to be an option to buy all their content in CD format.
I think that's the point -- it's nearly as useless to call throw/catch a rebranded goto as it is anything else.
Well for Windows users the only real answer is KDE, since it's almost the same in terms of interface and has a similarly high degree of configurability (imo a baseline requirement for any desktop OS). Kubuntu is pretty good, with only a handful of incredibly annoying things, compared to a never ending river of incredibly annoying things on GDM3.

She’s a danger of causing massive fraud again. She can cause fraud while under house arrest.

Danger doesn’t just mean violence. She did a horrible thing and harmed thousands of people financially. She needs to be in jail for a long time to protect society from her.
You asked how profits are extracted, and I answered your question. Now you're bringing up monopoly vs free market, which has nothing to do with the question.

So, they took a cutting edge Windows PC, slapped Linux on it, and it didn't work well.

How well did OSX do when they tried it? Clearly, OSX isn't ready for the desktop! No wonder nobody runs it!

Modern computers are complex enough that they can work well with Windows, OSX, or Linux, but they don't work well with more than one of them (unless the designers work really hard). See, for example, how to reboot: https://mjg59.livejournal.com/137313.html

If you want to run Linux on a computer, buy it preinstalled, with support. Anything else is an exercise in chasing down small glitches, as you describe. (This happens for Windows too! The difference is that the laptop vendor has a team of people (the system integration team) to fix the issues, either by modifying drivers, modifying the firmware, or having the ODM change the hardware. If you slap Linux on some random bit of Windows kit, you get to be the system integration team, but with only one of three avenues open to you to fix the glitches. And that only halfway, since you cant get the OEM or ODM to give you the time of day. And that's assuming you're a proficient kernel hacker.)

Slapping Linux on a Windows box is a mug's game. The only way to win is not to play.
Well, Wikipedia might be wrong, but this is how they describe Computer Science:
"Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). Though more often considered an academic discipline, computer science is closely related to computer programming."

You might argue, though, that Computer Science is not "real" science.
FINRA works pretty well
Yeah this should work. I was hoping to avoid having to add an FPGA.

On the other hand, BladeRF has an FPGA on board, perhaps it can ingest PPS. It will still be quite a bit if work to write for the FPGA, but at least I'll not have to design PCBs, which is way above my skill level.
Threads is not complete yet. It's a MVP, I'm sure they'll round it out in time. As Zuckerberg said, they didn't expect to get that many users so quickly.

I know the app has been worked on by 10 people in 6 months. There's also no web version except for a basic thread view.

Should a 10 people team have been able to ship something better in 6 months is something we could discuss, but considering also they made it scale to 100M users with few problems (some Instagram downtime I read about), I'd say they're on the right path.
Ask HN: What is the best option to host a low-traffic RestAPI with SQLite
It should be the best and cheapest.

There are times when I need a RestAPI which at max 5 people will use, and I was wondering what is the best option?

The RestAPI can be in JS, TS, or Python and the sqlite db should not exceed a few GB.
I had forgotten the name of this website and was looking for it to brush up some old formulae. This site is indispensable, love the explanations.
Critical national infrastructure should never have been placed in private hands, their only interest lies in minimising expenditure and maximising profits for either themselves via nice bonuses, or to the shareholders. It's never been about delivering the best service to the customer for the most reasonable cost.

Power, Water, Road, Rail, and Healthcare should remain and have remained under public ownership - those are a public service and should not be run for profit. Telecoms is about the only one to have worked - ish, but it took decades and a lot of lobbying and regulation to make it happen.
I have spotted a couple of ways to improve performance:

Increase the size of the bitmap in each node from 32 bits to 64 bits. You are wasting 4 bytes per node, and wider nodes mean fewer indirections for each lookup.

Change the recursion in the lookup to iteration. You used iteration in other traversals, and it should be much more efficient.
> At 100 MHz clock frequency, the resolution is 10 ns which is well below the timing jitter of a GNSS 1PPS output.

I own a more expensive GPSDO model from the same vendor and I can confirm that the TIC output is at 10ns resolution. TM4313 is being sold at 1/3 price of mine, I'd be very surprised if its TIC has a higher resolution.
this is supervised machine learning on top of unsupervised machine learning with some interesting wrinkles in both steps!

You know what grinds my gears? Needless pedantry and linguistic prescriptivism.

> This ommission of the negative really grinds my gears, and I couldn't care less about American Idiom when it literally changes the meaning of the words.

Tough luck? Language is like that, idioms especially. Just get used to the fact that not everybody speaks the same dialect of English as you do, and none of them are objectively the correct one in any sense.

You clearly knew what they meant, so there's no communication barrier here. You're being pedantic for the sake of it.
Oh, that's nothing. The Guardian carried articles against rail nationalization[1], because it was Boris Johnson that proposed it.

I should be illegal to sell laptops where the dissipative power of the cooling system is less than the thermal power of the CPU/etc.

Also should be illegal to lock me out of fan control, like Dell does. As always, never buy Dell, people. Teach 'em a lesson for advertising "space age cooling" that slowly cooks the laptop because their default fan profile was apparently designed by a pretty face in a Versace suit.
I was thinking the same thing - I've had a board for many years now. It was a pretty fun novelty back then, but I haven't touched it in a long time.
Isn't that the whole point of privatisation? By introducing a profit maximisation goal you (supposedly) create a more efficient operation.

I've worked in both the public and the private sector and can definitely understand the argument. In my government job it was way easier to slack off and no-one really cared about the results. There was no actual pressure from above to hit targets. You had your budget and it didn't really matter what you produced. Not hitting deadlines was no big deal.

Compared to my normal jobs where there is a constant stress from management to be lean, efficient and hit goals. I hate it but the team spirit is much higher and I probably produce 10x in comparison.
Godot is primarily developed on Linux, but I recently tried it out on Ubuntu (NVIDIA drivers) to check compatibility, and it was shockingly laggy. Worse than macOS, and far worse than Windows, where it runs quite well.

Maybe there was something about my configuration I could've tweaked to mitigate the lag, but I have zero interest in fiddling with Linux. That stuff's fun if your goal is to learn about the OS, but absolutely intolerable if you just wanna get work done.
> the fact that I cannot freely read an article published 53 years ago is beyond ludicrous

And has as much to do with individual versus corporate power as the health of a single tree can speak for a forest.

Nobody is saying the current situation is good or even sustainable. OP just made a big claim for which there is no evidence, despite many looking for it.

A counter: The NHS is one of the cheapest universal healthcare systems among comparable developed countries. It's run on an utter shoestring.

In other words: You can set budgets and force your providers to do the best they can within them. No matter where you set them, people will be unhappy, but it's not like setting quality as the main motivator means you need to give the provider free reign to spend however much it wants.

PPP adjusted total UK healthcare spending is less than half of the US, despite a significant private sector acting as an outlet for a proportion of the situations when people are unhappy with the NHS. Incidentally US public money per capita going towards healthcare exceeds the per capita cost of the NHS (whether nominal or PPP adjusted). The low amounts flowing to private providers in the UK can be seen as a demonstration that most people considers the NHS service good enough - while many would not be able to afford going private, the proportion who could if it mattered is certainly far higher than the current takeup.
xfs has had large file and large filesystem support for ages, so it is well-tested in that regard. ext4 can do larger filesystems now, but is still limited to 16TB files. zfs ist comparable to xfs in that regard.

xfs integrates well into linux and has had excellent performance. zfs is rather odd as a filesystem and circumvents several common linux mechanisms, making it rather awkward. You need to special case everything for zfs in monitoring (sizes are hierarchical overlapping instead of exclusive), ACL support and admin tooling (volume management and partitioning is completely different for zfs, trim is weird, booting is weird). zfs performance is also lacking due to it being very odd and special-casey in the linux kernel, as well as RAM-hungry.
That also works with monoliths ... Usually you would make your monolith stateless and distribute the incoming requests / events across many instances that can be spawned / killed depending on volume of requests and health status of instances.
You've cherry picked two routes Birmingham/Manchester to London where there is choice, but for the majority of the country there isn't. From my town there is one train company that has exclusive use of the route, and its motivator is profit extraction, not quality of service and encouraging more people off the roads on to the trains.

Also comparing trains to cars and busses as a positive competition is missing the point that our roads are over capacity. Moving more people off of the roads onto the train networks should be a priority.

I've had this thought for a long time that if you have a completely functional code base (as in no side-effects), making the decision between a microservice approach and a monolith approach is fundamentally transparent. Any functional code can not only be split onto multiple threads, but multiple servers (at the cost of latency).
