As an L2 German speaker living in Germany, I have witnessed how slight vowel length differences matter. In my native Polish, vowel length is not phonemic - unlike in German. I've recently had a situation when I pronounced the word Krokette with a long E /krokeːtə/ instead of a short E /krokɛtə/, and I had to repeat myself a few times before the seller understood what I meant. I pay a lot of attention to properly timing my words, because this seems to be the biggest barrier for others to understand me in here.

One other thing is stress placement; Polish places its primary stress on the penultimate syllabe of each word, making it probably the only Slavic language without variable stress (sentence stress is an another case). Whenever I hear Czech or Ukrainian - closely related languages - I need some extra time to post-process what has been said, and then I recognize the words that are understandable to me to a significant extent. I'm usually not able to process those in real time.
udp2raw also supports ICMP tunneling, as a simpler/leaner option that you could run WireGuard over. It's quite performant compared to DNS.
systemd threw the biggest wrench, by far, in my automation workflows (this was before containers came to dominate a lot of the landscape, so everything was managed with init scripts). I like it now, but it also broke things quite frequently in the early days, and there was a looong period of time when you had to shim software to work with systemd.

But even still, things like snaps, the way Debian handles system Python, and various little changes that have an outsize effect on automated deployment do cause a good amount of churn with automation.
Every 6 months? That seems like a pretty long window for tribal knowledge to get lost. Is 6 months arbitrary or is there some reasoning behind that cadence?
I’ll let you in on a secret that would deter care thieves.

Adequately punish the ones police happen to catch.

It’ll create a reinforcing cycle. Police are more interested in pursuing these cases because it’s worth it for their time, and thieves will be dissuaded from car theft because there might actually be consequences if caught compared to the current slap on the wrist.
This is the same reason I moved out of the city.

Rents are very high because they assume you can live there without a car, but as someone who frequently drove far out of the city I was paying for the worst of both worlds.

I agree with your TCO assessment, thanks to pandemic/WFH myself and my partner were able to switch to sharing a car and we saw about 10k in annual savings.

Do you have a specific problem with the dns01 or http01 challenges used to validate a domain before issuing a certificate?

Or are you just being snarky for the sake of being snarky?
Wouldn’t this allow for health checking services that don’t have public endpoints? My first thought was an alert to me that my home internet (or server) is down.

Granted I’d probably just set up a server to do that unless this was insanely cheap.
That doesn't mean it isn't ridiculously frustrating when you come up with a response that may have taken a lot of thought and effort and find out you can't post it.
Our ancestors' survival in Africa, Siberia, and pretty much every place in between gives lie to the notion that "most of us require artificial augmentation in order to survive".

And to be clear, no, I do not consider the use of fire, animal skins, etc. to be artificial augmentation. I do consider electricity and inter-continental supply lines to be artificial augmentation.
1) Did you run the numbers?
I wonder if there would be a market for an enterprise-grade server microkernel OS. It's not the 90s anymore - Nintendo and QNX are shipping tens of millions of microkernel installs every year; and hardware is fast enough that choosing correctness and security over speed is a valid tradeoff. Maybe if I win the lottery...
I had probably written a longer comment earlier on HN, but if anyone is looking at this and is waiting for the perfect laptop... don't. (Assuming you have the money & time, I unfortunately do not right now.) The catch is that you would need to have moderate levels of proficiency with mechanical and electrical skills.

At the end of the day, commercial clamshell laptops...
1. Have terrible ergonomics, due to the small distance between the keyboard and the screen (unless you're a baby, in which case, hi!). The small screen size doesn't help unless you're okay carrying a 17" laptop around.
2. Have components that will fail due to hardware wear and tear. Most noticeable are the hinges but also USB/audio ports and sometimes keyboards. Be it gunk or an accidental pet dropping the laptop on the port.

A few companies occasionally try to address [1] - like the Asus Easel or the Lenovo/Asus folding laptops that improve portability or screen angle/position. Framework laptops address [2], but are traditional clamshell.

If you truly want a solution,
a. Choose a decent single board computer (SBC) as a base, like a gigabyte brix.
b. Print a 3d case for it to make it as small as possible.
c. Spin your own display from panelook.
d. Attach case from (2) with an expanding hinge-type contraption.
e. Embellish with desired parts. I'd suggest framework expansion cards.
f. ???
g. Profit!

(It doesn't hurt that 4"*4" and VESA-compatible SBCs and miniPCs are often standardized at least in 2 dimensions. And if anyone's interested in anything more on this front - making one, selling it, making a business of selling it etc - feel free to reach out to me (email in profile). I'm frustrated with modern laptops and fortunately have a degree in mechanical engineering.)
Yeah, this is closer to my experience as well.
The outrage comes from having to carry both the wired headphones AND the dongle. The dongle is small and easy to lose. It's much harder to lose your headphones.
See my point 1) medical practices <> hospitals 2) there aren’t many de novo hospitals, so the start from scratch example is not that relevant, but for fun, in your example you borrow $50m and and 25 of the doctors (the partners) pony up $2m (not a crazy amount given that average doctor pay is $300-$500k and these 25 would systems only be in the top quartile and later career

Funnily enough, I had the Unix epoch time question come up with a customer (who makes very long-lived pseudo-embedded systems) come up in discussion last week.
The movie is based on a book which was released under the name "How Do You Live" in English. So this may be partly because they didn't want to license the name, since the movie ended up containing 0% of the content of the book.

But yes, it wasn't renamed. It just has another name. Nobody's hiding the original name from you.
That is a good point, however I've not heard of too many cases where organizations intentionally skip RHEL releases. Systems that are being actively developed do regularly upgrade through each RHEL release, and the 10 year support just lets them be lazy about how quickly they do so. The only systems I see intentionally riding out the 10+ year support are deprecated systems that are already announced to sunset by the time RHEL support ends.

The five year reign of RHEL7 was too long and did result in the very issues you bring up, but the ~3 year duration of RHEL 5,6 & 8 was short enough to avoid problems due to attrition in enterprise settings (unlike startups which have higher turnover, and not counting bus factors of one - no release cycle can't solve that).

And like others have pointed out, automation doesn't help as much when moving between releases. We have everything configuration controlled with kickstart and ansible and/or docker, and it is great for reproducibility within a release cycle, but it doesn't save much time or knowledge between releases. And Ubuntu is even worse in that regard despite having a shorter release cycle.
The latency check is usually not sensitive enough to prevent a car being stolen from the drive-way from a relayed key that lies near the front door.

For reference 20 meters is about 66 nano-seconds.

Seriously! I had no idea this even EXISTED and I actually sat down and looked over all the upcoming movies recently-- multiple times!
I think it was an analogy. If you don't do a thing for a long time (updating SSL certificates, updating a Linux system to a major new version), the knowledge of how the systems were maintained/built gets lost. If you have an automated, repeatable process that moves with the times, it is more likely that the process is codified (either in documentation or in infrastructure as data) and easy to repeat.

>I only have Chrome installed so that I can test things cross-browser when needed

Read my grandparent comment carefully.

Suppose you have two products A, B. They are roughly feature equivalent but B has a 10x more engineering effort put in towards QOL improvements and fixing the long tail of performance issues.

You are not going to notice this if you generally use A and only once in a while use B.

OTOH, if you use B and suddenly get transported to a A-only world you are going to miss the polish.

Another way to think about this is to compare cheap clothes/shoes to well made expensive ones.
Maybe his point is that “How do you live” is already a translation and not the actual name of the movie. The actual name is the Japanese version.

Kinda like saying that Rome is not the actual name of the city. It’s Roma because that’s how it’s called in Italian and the city is in Italy so that’s the actual name.
I'd tend to agree, especially if they can put more fiber in place at the same time.
This has deep connections with my attempt to implement an effective queryable word-level grammatically correct extractive text summarizer (AKA: The way most people actually summarize documents) - https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/CX_DB8

I will try to implement this with the necessary changes to actually make this work properly, where instead of generating a new answer, it simply highlights the most likely text spans.
This only makes sense if you value "box office numbers" for their own sake which this signals very clearly that they do not. As the article points out it's not the first time he's said he thinks his career has run its course, but there's also no reason to think he wasn't sincere any of those times.

He knows he's famous and it will do very well without marketing. Why optimize a metric you don't care about? I don't find the cynical laziness explanation as convincing as the stated motivation tbh.
I'm not the OP, but I went through it last year. Outside of FAANG, the job market doesn't look bad at all, as near as I can see. And I didn't find any companies who seemed to be looking for FAANG devs, but it's hard to tell.
gnip (reverse ping)
Maybe, but it's not obvious. There are plenty of novel vulnerabilities in interfaces like io_uring and so forth. It's not that those features are bad, I'm just saying that there are tradeoffs to always getting the new stuff.

Maybe the compromise solution is to use newer kernels but keep certain features turned off until they "bake" properly.
> Lead tends to stabilize in-situ in most installations over time to be fairly safe and non-reactive.

That didn't happen here. Those lead cables are leaching into local surface water and the environment. Although this article focuses mainly on the harm to workers.
2500 apps is with his wife and brother helping. 46 phone screens out of that, a 1.8% conversion rate, is totally realistic. My rate was 6% but I was very targeted. I had 32 phone screens. These usually only take 30 minutes and don't require much prep.

> maybe the market has shifted drastically

You're catching on. This is the worst job market in 20 years, far worse than the 2009 recession. In 2009, tons of college kids were still getting in Amazon but new grads today are struggling to find anything. This is a tectonic shift causing mountains to crumble, and we will be feeling the effects for decades.

>All republics are democracies.

This is very basic civics. Republics and democracies are distinct styles of Government. Was the Roman Republic a Democracy in your eyes?

Essentially what you are saying is anywhere there is a vote or election that government is a democracy, and anywhere there are representatives that government is a representative democracy.

These are legal terms that have very specific definitions.

Take the UK which elects a Prime Minister and Memeber of Parliment does that make it a Representative Democracy in your opinion? Despite electing a Prime Minister and Members of Parliament the UK is neither a Democracy nor a Republic, nor a Representative Democracy for that matter.
It's true that Red Hat does pull in changes from upstream for several subsystems of Linux. It's genuinely a frankenkernel mixed with code from 6.3, 6.1, etc.

But you're still beholden to what the Red Hat maintainers are pulling in and focusing on. It's still not a general follow upstream wholesale.

You can see and track what UEK is doing by looking at their Github: https://github.com/oracle/linux-uek/commits/uek7/u1

> Every major urban center, perhaps. No city in Montana (I'll go so far as to say the midwest, minus perhaps Chicago) has a "robust" public transit system.

Your comment is talking about the present tense while theirs is not. I’m sure they would agree with you that non-car transportation options are lacking currently. I don’t know what Midwest transportation options were before we entered this car dependency era, from a quick search it appears streetcars were a thing there (which is what their linked article was about).

> And even when we create a perfect 15 minute utopia, people will still need one-off transportation on a periodic basis to spots more than 15 minutes away. Doctor visits, specialized purchases, bulk orders, building materials, recreation, etc.

You can include options for cars without making them the main method of transportation for everything. Having cars as an option is not the problem, designing everything around cars and letting other options fall to the wayside is the problem.
Just in case you are not aware, How Do You Live (the film) is based on a book, How Do You Live. The book was translated and its English name is just How Do You Live.

Western agression (if you want to put it like that) does not justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nor would it reduce the threat Russia poses. Surely it would increase it!
> I guess I should have applied for a grant.

But you didn't.

Echoing the sentiment from many of the replies, it's easy to arm-chair quarterback and criticize others' work (and moreover, the existence of the work itself) as intuitively obvious, and therefore lacking value.

Besides the fact that it has value to someone (therefore the grant award), the devil's in the details, and a grant like this isn't just for the idea, but also for development and productionizing.

But, going back to your point... if you think you can do better, than by all means do so. Seems like sour grapes that someone else is capitalizing on something that is intuitively obvious to you.
You aren't looking at a representative sample. Spend some time talking to people outside of dense cities. Parking doesn't even make their top 10 list of concerns.

Even in regions like the SF Bay Area outside of San Francisco proper there is abundant parking near most homes, retail, and workplaces. Now I agree that devoting so much valuable real estate to parking is rather wasteful and we ought to eliminate some of those asphalt wastelands, but as a practical matter today it means most people don't get stressed about parking. If you tell them to get rid of their cars so that they don't have to worry about parking they're going to think you're crazy.
Only consultants will earn that, and only after they've been a consultant for several years (i.e. they've been working as a hospital doctor in total for somewhere between 12-20 years)

https://www.bmj.com/careers/article/the-complete-guide-to-nh...

The doctor quoted will likely be ST3 band, which means they've completed a 5 or 6 year medical degree, and then been a full-time "junior doctor" working in a hospital for 5 further years.

Doctors in the NHS are horrifically underpaid, and especially post-brexit there's a growing exodus to higher-paid countries (Australia, New Zealand, USA...).

It is not a step forward. Trusting Salesforce, especially for civil rights activity, is fundamentally broken.

It seems to me like a huge waste of resources to put time and effort into convincing Salesforce of anything. How about telling people to stay away from it and make sure some "sudo apt-get install chatzilla" is available and easy to setup for the Women rights group and what ever.

Also, "deafening" one user for your messages in a group chat is a great tool for bullying I guess. I don't see why you would want that or cheer it as some anti-bully step forward.

Just pointing out that your rationale is not something that should have convinced even you. So ask yourself: if you cannot construct an argument that can convince someone else of your position, did you really arrive at that position by rational means?
for prototyping or building the actual product?

No-code/low-code tools are great for prototypes, but are awful for software that is large enough. for small businesses many will not get to that point because many businesses sink by that time, but absolutely unusable for many enterprise software. Those solutions slow down devs past a certain level of complexity (and that level isn't all that high) but no-code/low-code experts will either not know any better or won't tell you. I have legitimately tried using a few, but they become a pain to work it beyond the initial prototype. I put them in the similar territory as Wordpress because they remind me of the pain of maintaining them.

Non-devs always underestimate complexity of software at scale. Even devs do as well. It's not gatekeeping otherwise, devs would already be out of a job
Struggling to understand the value of non technical cofounders in tech startups
This might come off poorly, but as a highly technical individual that can do sales, I dont understand non technical cofounders. I'm currently working with someone that I raised money with, and 90% of the work is just technical work. He seems to be doing "CEO" stuff, and has a very credible background, but I'm just confused. There is a real need for our product, and we may succeed, but there is a herculean technical effort to get there. With that, this actually feels a bit like a scam? How do technical cofounders rationalize the work split. We did raise money, and his background helped a bit there, but even then I dont think it was a huge differentiator.
White horse is holding up well. Some interesting points but I'm still happy with my "Don't pay don't watch" stance.

In many cases wikipedia probably isn't even paying for bandwidth due to peering agreement.

I came here to make this comment if it hadn't already been made.

Seriously though, this is the one thing that has kept me a ThinkPad user ever since I got my first university-issued laptop 21 years ago. I've had other laptops since then, and I've never liked any of them. Once I've got my hands in a comfortable position for typing on a laptop, I often have to move either my entire arm or my entire laptop in order to use a trackpad. I don't even really want my laptop to have a trackpad, it's just something for my palm to accidentally hit.

No, it's not comfortable for extended gaming or other things like that, but honestly if I'm not using an external mouse for that I'm going to be pretty grumpy anyway.

I used to feel the same way about headphone jacks on phones.

Then I tried a cheap external dongle, the Ifi Go Link. It's fantastic and I'd never go back to the crap they put into the phone.
Heavy though. Coming from an m1 air to a 16” pro is cartoon-eyes-out-on-stalks surprising when you first pick it up.

I can’t help wonder if the m2 air 15” is the best on the market currently.
Maybe have your public fields defined as a second struct, and then you can cast the pointer to your struct to the concrete struct that has all the public fields. This has the restriction that all public fields must be at the start, and you must make sure to maintain the same order between the two structs.

At this point though, I think I honestly would prefer setters/getters.

struct MyClassPublic {
int x;
int y;
...
}

/* using it */
MyClass *myclass = myclass_create();
((MyClassPublic *)myclass)->x = 5;
Different stealth airplanes. Some documentaries that celebrate Raptor and F35 as technical marvel (highly complex). I have not really observed any maintenance difference or break throughout between F22 and F35.

And nobody really provided any solid numbers. If numbers are good, it would be easy to prove.

There is a lawsuit going in Switzerland. Swiss do not believe official maintenance cost.

Other countries (Japan and South Korea) have stealth program that has similar issues. Some disagreements with F35. South Korea fighter should cost 30% of F35 maintenance. But that goes into spare parts and features, not coating...

And frankly Russian program ran into a lot of troubles and cost overruns with stealth fighters. I believe Russians have better science and technical knowledge to deliver such airplane cheaply (without software integration). And they did not made any breakthrough that would magically reduce maintenance costs.
Those one-offs have specialized folks to do the job - taxis and delivery drivers and the like.
