Ach darn. They invoked it. I guess now we need a name, a logo and a migration plan back to spinning rust over the next two weeks for security reasons.
There’s a LOT of overlap there. VC is one form of private equity. And increasingly, VC’s are willing to execute some of the more traditional private equity strategies which you’re likely attempting to reference.
If you're in the US, meat selection tends toward the conservative. People have literally been fired for serving kangaroo: https://time.com/5430454/nebraska-school-cook-fired-kangaroo...

But in some European countries, more bits of the animal are being eaten (beef tongue, e.g.), and more animals are being eaten (e.g. horses). In Switzerland, kangaroo and ostrich became somewhat popular when at the height of the Mad Cow Disease epidemic, people were reluctant to eat beef.
In the anecdote about Bill and the DISASTER script, I'm not so sure that deleting the script would be such a big deal. If this script hasn't been touched since the 1980s and nobody knows what it does, presumably nobody has tested it recently.

It seems like if there really was a disaster, first of all nobody would know that script existed, and second of all if they tried to run the script, it would fail because of all the changes to the system since the script was initially developed.

Isn't there some saying like "if you don't test your backups, you don't have backups" or something like that?
Call it whatever you like.

I'm not claiming that "I just want to have a debate," nor did I "pursue" you (I made exactly one request to detail evidence of your assertions) and none of what I asked about was "tangential" or "previously addressed." And I'm not "feigning" ignorance. I know quite a bit about trans folks and the issues and discrimination they face.

What's more, the tired tropes (which you trotted out rather than have a substantive discussion) are more akin to the "Gish Gallop"[0] than anything I might have written being "sea lioning."

I have no interest in debating anything with you. You're just flat wrong.

Regardless, you have your ideas/beliefs and as a decent human being, I don't despise you for those beliefs, nor do I advocate for you to be silenced (as you do about others).

Please do speak your mind. It's an important part of having a free and open society. And I will do the same.

Have a good day!

Yea, but there’s a security boundary wherein you don’t want the SSH host to be executing code in your environment. Of course, the attackers can backdoor sshd to log credentials, setup init scripts on the host to execute code every client login and other shenanigans.
Isn't email like regular post? I (a potential misuser) could scrub the "From" address of an email, impersonate you, and verify that I have setup an account in your name.
Likewise, asciiflow.com serves something that isn't a good, or even half-decent graphics package for diagramming.

Yet, I had to crank out diagrams recently, and found every single program I knew had become enshittified to the point of not being usable.

I got the job done with asciiflow box-and-arrow diagrams, pasted into a word processing document as monospaced-font paragraphs.
You could deal with that in a reader or in a service where you upload a draft of your paper which then spits out a list of potentially problematic citations, even if those are more than one step removed from your first citation.

A lot of the costs in modern college programs over the last 20 to 30 years has been due to increase in administrative personnel, building up sports programs, etc.

Modern colleges appear more like resorts than educational institutions. The presidents of these colleges also make massive amounts of money, many of even public or state college, which is highly disingenuous.
I bet it still would have been a useful template for a human to read to get a general idea of what things to do and in what order.
It is not a markup language, period.

...It's a great convention on how to do common stuff in plain text. Plain text. Let me repeat: plain text.

(I'm accidentally doing "a different todo list approach" now due to it, and it is so surprisingly awesome; sorry, busy doing stuff off of my "weird todo list"!)
What's amazing to me is that without reading (watching?) too much into it, and me not being a seasoned South Park viewer, this could easily pass as a real episode.
I never saw the attraction to Markdown. I especially despised the end a line with two or more invisible characters to insert a line break.

If it wasn't for Github, I probably wouldn't be using it at all. There were so many Wiki markup dialects and a Wiki Creole that could serve as a base to make a more featured popular one.
> providing very valuable labor to the university for approximately free

Which is perhaps exploitative of the student athletes, who should receive more of a cut of that the revenue they produce.

> they completely pay for the sports programs (some of which the merit-admitted enjoyed, such as having a very large gym open 24 hours a day)

Is that universal though? Not all schools’ sports programs do as well, and isn’t it a wasteful distraction for colleges to be spending tens of millions on stadiums and scoreboards instead of academics? It just seems like another example of excess infecting an institution of learning.

Obviously campus sports is an age old tradition. But the amount of excess just feels like a phenomenon orthogonal to its original role. If schools are going to be lavishly investing in school sports, why not also school music scenes, school art galleries, school esports, school drag car racing, basically taking any competitive, prestige-driven, money-making aspect of society and stuffing it into an academic setting? And then optimizing for admittees who can fulfill those lucrative roles?

Markdown is fast and easy and covers the basics. For a lot of use cases, those qualities make it pretty good.
No one is predicting that much temperature rise.
Markdown is an authoring language (it's easy to write) rather than a publishing language (like XML, which is mostly replaces, which sucks to write in).
No, they're not. For all intents and purposes the industry has moved on from loot boxes. The top grossing mobile games aren't using them, and AAA/F2P games have for the most part moved on from them. There's a few holdouts (notably Fifa Ultimate Team), but everyone else has moved on. The article does a really good job of explaining what the _actual_ model is now.
Very weird take on MIT/BSD. They cannot be closed. You can always fork.
With the merge queue, it works like this:

10:00 Co-worker pushes their code to the merge queue. CI/CD pipeline begins running unit tests.

10:05 You push your code to the queue.

10:10 CI/CD finishes the tests. It looks green. Their code gets merged to master. CI/CD starts running your unit tests with the new master branch and your code applied.

10:20 CI/CD finishes the tests with your code, tests are green, and merges to master.

Five minutes were saved by using a merge queue.
In order to calculate a one in ten chance of anything would require you to know two numbers. In this case, you would need to know the number of people that have contracted Covid and the number of people that have experienced long covid symptoms. I can guarantee there is no possible way to know either number so anything is probably a grossly inadequate estimate depending on bias.
I was managing Accenture as a strategic partner and in one meeting we were discussing solutions for a division of Siemens. I represented the third largest ent Software company at that time.

The Accenture EMEA head asked the room what can we offer to solve X.

before I could answer, of my engineers stepped up and said Product X

MD. How much does it cost?
Engineer: $50000 per year

MD turns to me and says. What do you have that costs $1M or more.

Accenture made $2 for every $1 of our SW. They had no interest in selling solutions that didn’t move their and our goals.

> Done properly, it yields an immense amount of power, quite efficiently, but also opens up a lot of “degrees of freedom” about it can be operated, which leads to confusion.

Yeah, very well put. Indeed it's very powerful and sure it's confusing. I need guard rails. And I need my hands slapped much more. "Looks like you're trying X -- this is how you do it, you idiot" would work well. :D

I am almost not joking even.
Me, having fixed something via 3d printing, to my wife: "Is this why people with woodshops are always so smug?"

But yeah, my interest in 3d printers is "I need an X" - either a bespoke, custom plastic part that is made in small batches for a research project, or for my home printer, wargaming terrain, and I really don't care about modifying the printer, etc. That's also what's been standing in the way of me building a VORON - I just...don't want to.
I too cannot believe it. Even the most diehard nonparticipating 20-year-old League-of-Legends-addicted coding-bootcamped hustlebro HN reader could fathom how being a senior journalist in the country's maybe #1 and #3 news institutions is like, a big deal.

Since it sounds like the other commenters are really confused about why it matters whose kid he is: like if you were just a regular person, you might be ejected from Stanford for pursuing something like this against a far lesser faculty member. It has nothing to do with admissions, which is such a hustlebro 20 year old POV anyway: to think that the privileges of nepotism are limited to getting admitted to fancy universities and money in a bank account. If only!

Imagine having first hand evidence of your PI doing fraud, which lots of people do by definition, and that is rightly seen as career suicide. Like even the postdoc in the story, who has the evidence, hasn't come clean! He can't just like, stop living the way this student can.

The students who relayed Marc Hauser's fraud to Harvard never went public with their identities. They don't get to win Polk Awards at all. They're not regarded as investigative journalists. This also prevents us from seeing what happened. I can tell you from my experience at least some of those students joined Hauser's prestigious lab for a medical school recommendation, which obviously didn't happen. In fact they may have only exposed him because, he was such an asshole, he refused to write them recs at all, for whatever reason.

Do you know what all those people at Genentech get for exposing this fraud publicly? Nothing. I mean, they certainly don't become eligible for journalism awards. They could very well have provided the first hand evidence, and maybe posted to a PR newswire that has more circulation than the Stanford Daily or whatever, and cause the Stanford president to resign, and they still will absolutely, positively, never win a Polk award. They will just have a blown up career at the end, either way. They have a 100% chance of exposing the truth, and yet a pretty, pretty low chance of ending up better off than they were before they started.

Nevermind research. Think about all the kids at e.g. private schools, younger kids, directly harmed by teachers molesting them, and you know, the kids are the ones who leave, not the teachers, for many decades and many institutions.

So it definitely mattered to be the son of some big deal journalists in New York. Jerry Yang is beholden to journalists in New York. It made this happen.

That said, of all the things to deploy your nepobabiness on, this is a pretty good one, isn't it? Investigative journalism of the finest degree. I don't personally think that a Polk award determines the merit of the investigation; nor does even the publication, clearly. Anyone, everywhere, can be not only be an investigative journalist, but indeed a great investigative journalist. It is a legitimately great story of bringing this guy, who has clearly dodged bullets for a decade, to task.
Do you have plans to add an API or methods for analytics? It's common for me to ETL Salesforce data into to a data mart or warehouse to structure the entire data model for analysis and reporting.

I doodled a cat, and then prompted it with "cat", "bird", and "snake". All three look like my doodle, the cat looks great, the other two look forced, just as one would expect.

With stabledoodle, it gives me a cat, then a bird, and then a snake, and I can't find my doodle in any of them.
Exactly, don't know why they are trying to frame the kid as part of some legacy elite. We should judge Theo for his actions (commendable), not who his parents are.

AI kills frameworks
The hardware I have is:

- 12th Gen Intel NUC with an i7-1260P, 64GB of RAM and 1TB NVMe drive
- Synology DS920+ with three 10TB WD Red drives, NVMe cache and upgraded RAM
- Mikrotik hAP ac3 router
- APC Back-UPS BX 750VA UPS

I run Proxmox on the NUC and have a Kubernetes cluster in VMs. Any stateful services mount storage from the NAS via NFS. The UPS can keep all of this up for about 30 minutes. Data gets backed up to a Hetzner storage box via Synology Hyper Backup.

I monitor the power consumption with a smart plug and Home Assistant. It averages around 100W for everything above.

The stuff that I have running includes Gitea, Matrix, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Home Assistant, and some small websites.

Hi, Mek here from Open Library.

I was incredibly lucky to work at the Internet Archive the same time as Mouse and couldn't be more proud of their work on BookWyrm.

Open Library and its network of generous volunteers have (I hope) made a lot of positive progress towards cataloging the books that are out there and making them more accessible to the world. AND it's absolutely the case that our project exists to support innovative projects like Bookwyrm and incredible thinkers like Mouse.

Open Library can't and shouldn't be everything. It's hard enough doing well at one thing. The Open Library team is considering how we may be able to participate within the decentralized ecosystem by offering a BookWyrm instance so readers may have more ways to socially engage with each other and connect around books. If you're interested in helping us try this as an experiment, please reach out <mek@archive.org>!

I appreciate how difficult it is to run a service which gives communities voices (it requires moderation tooling, staff, and so much more). I'm impressed by the thoughtful, impressive, and creative work Mouse has done building BookWyrm and am super grateful for its progress which I see as being a win for the entire ecosystem (an ecosystem Open Library is proud to be a piece of).

Keep it up <3

P.S. the fact that many services like Mastodon or BookWyrm may have large primary servers is not a demerit. The fact that there are smaller local servers, that new servers can emerge over time, and that engineering thought is being put into how data moves through such environments is key to acknowledging the importance of creating safe communities, promoting archival strategies, and enabling accessibility. Many people use GitHub (centrally) and also use Git (centrally) and the fact that many common use-cases have been centralized do not undermine the significance of the times where small, high impact cases are able to succeed because decentralization has made them possible.
I primarily use Markdown in all my note-taking and blog-writing. It’s fine for it, for me. But lots of these criticisms of Markdown resonated with me. I know it’s a rough analogy, but I’m waiting for Markdown’s “TypeScript”, so to speak: A markup language that is a superset of Markdown, but adds a lot of value by addressing some (the more the better) of the usability and predictability deficiencies pointed out in this blog post.
I have much more faith in democracy, flawed as it is, than the Supreme Court.

> Surely you see the point of the US being a republic; rule by law, not by men.

Men wrote the laws.

> In your vision of the supreme court, if the majority decided they wanted to lock up some minorty and send them to gas chambers, the court couldn't do anything to stop them because the populace would vote for it in a referendum. That kind of thing has happened countless times in history in countries that didn't have a strong court system capable of protecting people's rights from the tyrrany of the majority.

I agree the Supreme Court has effectively protected minority rights: the minority of wealthy property owners. I'm somewhat confident that the historical list of Supreme Court injustices that served to oppress vulnerable minorities (e.g. Dred Scott and Japanese internment) is longer than the list of times the Supreme Court has lifted those same minorities up.

Of course an experienced developer would have thought about edge cases, but I can see a thought process like: ok, I'm comparing two strings. "" != "123" in languages with built-in string types.

I'm definitely not arguing that C shouldn't be used and everybody should be using <insert-the-currently-trendy-systems-programming-language>: just thinking out loud if improved documentation could prevent at least some of the common footguns.
Pre-acquisition WhatsApp was built using Erlang and had an impressively large user-to-server ratio IIRC. I expect that since then things have mostly been rebuilt to use existing meta shared infrastructure which might not be as stable or efficient.

> I especially despised the end a line with two or more invisible characters to insert a line break.

I love Markdown, but I also hate this. The only benefit is that is discourages people from messing with line breaks.
A lot of "yellow journalism" these days comes from editors, who are actually a different profession than journalists, though I think people reasonably don't care about that.

The NYT editors are the ones who write all the headlines like "The economy is great - here's how that's bad news for Biden".

I came to the same conclusion while trying to work out a good documentation single-sourcing setup that could successfully target multiple formats like markdown, mdoc, be injected into code, etc.

I still use markdown for what it does well, but I feel like virtually every other (lightweight) markup language misses the mark as well.

Last year I started writing some posts that are about this in a very vague way (6 so far at https://t-ravis.com/room/doc/) to help order my own thinking and lay some groundwork for eventually demonstrating where a lot of them fall short.

(Caveat: I'm not suggesting anyone stop using them for any given project that doesn't need to target multiple output formats. They aren't unusable. They just all have problems that make virtually all of them difficult to use as a single source.)
right? that whole bit reads like some lame parable. like who in there right mind is going to run a 10k line shell script named DISASTER they’ve never read and cannot read because it’s 10k lines of shell? there is apparently no documentation (and positively no tests)? one guy close to retirement remembers what it’s for and says “don’t delete this critical but of code!”

it’s just utter bullshit.
I don't have anything to support this, but I think WhatsApp get down every time they make a major server side update.

IIRC there was a major down just before they added calls. Maybe I'll check up later the dates
