Sorta related: when I was 22 or so, a friend and I sold some software to a school district.

We were young, poor engineers with no idea how sales worked. When they asked what the price was, we picked a nice round number that sounded appealing to us.

"$100,000."

Our counterparty may have actually laughed at us. "I can't just write two twenty-somethings a cheque for $100,000."

Oh, shit. They're on to us. They're gonna bargain hard, and we're going to have to lop off tens of thousands of dollars.

"But what I can do is write you a $10,000 cheque for a 1-day training session, a $15,000 cheque for installation support, a $10,000 cheque for 1 year of maintenance and a $65,000 cheque for a perpetual 5,000 seat license. Does that work for you?"

It did. To do this day, I'm pretty sure we sold the government $100,000 of services because two high-up administrators were incapable of working out their interpersonal issues. Instead, they used our software as a go-between. Absurd.
as a fellow bootstrapped founder, hats off to the NeetoCal team

I'm personally using Cal.com, it's free and I'm very happy. I'm also very biased because we interviewed the co-founder/co-ceo [1] and Cal.com uses our platform to reward its open source contributors [2]

what I love most about Cal is how young developers from around the world learn modern tech by contributing (and getting trained by the team) [3], support is crazy good [4] and the company builds in public, even their salaries and metrics are open [5]. I cannot not be a fan honestly

I don't understand what is the reason for this unrelated rant.
Ownership is surprisingly well defined legally. And the general principle is actually quite easy to understand. The specifics depend. Hint: The police is only indirectly involved, if at all.
If you want to see what kind of customizations you can do with Iosevka, here's the blend that I use daily: https://git.sr.ht/~ashton314/iosevka-output

I essentially wanted Input Mono [1] but with more characters. Iosevka has a stylistic preset ("ss18") that sets the character variants to match the designs of Input. There's also the "extended" family, which matches the width almost perfectly, albeit I need the font size to be 13pt for Iosevka to match what Input looks like at 12pt. Go figure.

Why isn't everything legal then?
I have had one issue related to systemd; at one point when doing a routine update there was some dangling symlink issue that caused systemd to crash. This wasn't catastrophic; a lot of things didn't work, but I was able to cleanly save and exit out of applications, manually run a sync to make sure everything was flushed to disk, and then hard reboot.

This was the issue, I think: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742322

systemd hasn't been without issue, but I've definitely had fewer issues with systemd than I did dealing with broken init scripts or upstart prior to moving to systemd.
That is incredibly rich coming from __FileZilla__, one of the few OSS projects that accepts money from malware makers to catch out unwary windows users.

I wonder if they're actually more worried about having the EU go after them legally if some EU member loses data or money directly because of that malware?
We live in a society with rules and regulations.

Wow, I never realized that changing the order of commits in an interactive rebase was a legit operation.

Thanks for the tip!

imo, even more egregious than this is Josh Hawley's incessant needling, pestering, leading, talking over, and ultimately ignoring every single person he has ever questioned as part of a congressional hearing.
He asks people leading questions, then when they start to give a legit answer he just talks over them in an attempt to make them look like they couldn't answer the question.
Conservatives eat that dumb shit up. drives me insane.
Maybe, but there has to be a limit to how far we expect humans to override their programming. With technology and the full force of the market behind probing our weaknesses, there's a good chance we will reach that limit soon.
Yeah. It's been a loooong time. I was an emancipated minor at 15. I did get a job at neopets at the height of the dot com boom and I did not end up going. Maybe I sold that PHP job and got emancipated and then the neopets thing happened because it was really hard to be a kid building websites for small local businesses. eh. It's not a thing I've thought about much at all in the last 20 years. When I see neopets in the news though I am always still very impressed that they survived the dot com crash and are still around.

For sure at the time I had no concept of the difference between any California cities. I guess over time LA turned into SF in my head because what tech comes out of LA that isn't for the movies? I actually ended up taking a job in LA about eight years ago and it was hilarious hearing people talk about Silicon Beach like anyone was writing code out there and it wasn't just a content farm. LA is a tomb. Changing that detail in my memory and now knowing both cities, yeah. That job for sure would have killed me before my 18th birthday.

It sounds like your information is accurate and from wikipedia or whatever. So putting that together that they probably just started when they hired me also makes sense for how they signed a contract with a child.
They're even moving most of the kernel-space driver code to the chip on-board the GPU now (see GSP) and having the kernel driver talk to that.
I think this is a very "of its era" kind of story. Computer systems were looked at as magic boxes back then and there was no easy way of doing research on competitive products. Hell there might not even be a competitive product. If you did any of that now or didn't research your market. You could easily sink your startup. The software industry is pretty mature now and people are more savvy on figuring out what feels right. Not saying that engineers don't still under price their products. But as an engineer I would do your research and find something that fits within the market because thats what your customer is going to be doing.
Essentially what I am saying is suppose the politicians' reasoning, that @currymj suspects and offered above, and I agree with them is the likely one, was to be true.

Then the word calculus (and university admission perhaps with other goals in life) can be treated as variable(s). There is no inherent reason the set of deduction rules are dependent on the choice of topic. Let us denote the reasoning for brevity as a proposition p(s, g) with s\in Subjects g \in Goals:

Start substituting other subjects in there. Their reasoning goes that for an s \in Subjects to be in AcceptedSubjects \subset Subjects it must hold that:

p(s,g):=\(For the majority of students), \exists g \in Goals: p'(s,g). Where p(s,g) relaxes also the goal here -- doesn't have to be college admissions. Then start adding art, debates, writing and other topics I mentioned.
If it’s a lot of data and part of a pipeline you’ll get memory saving. 1,000 lines and reading from a CSV it won’t matter really.
Using fundamentals is misunderstanding the term.

When investment analysts say fundamentals, they're talking about things like demonstrated business performance.

You're using the word "fundamentals" to mean what investors call "beta", which is almost the opposite of what it means.
I 'like' it, I find it easier to read. But I would be ok without them, it's a minor improvement for me.
I would be interested in chatting with you about the feature that is missing in neetoCal. Please email me at neeraj@bigbinary.com.
I've never had data loss (assuming that's what "lossage" means), but here's an incomplete list of problems I've experienced on systems running systemd:

* System randomly taking 5+ minutes to boot

* Daemons sometimes not starting on boot

* Logging sometimes just stops (I confirmed this was caused by a systemd bug)

* Logging in over SSH starts taking 2 minutes and can only be fixed by reboot (I confirmed this was caused by a systemd bug)

It's not that sysvinit scripts are without bugs, especially race conditions and daemons inheriting environment when you invoke a restart script, but systemd appears to be distinct in that a seemingly-quiescent system can just suddenly stop working correctly. They had a low bar to clear to improve on the reliability of sysvinit systems, and yet they failed to clear it. That's not surprising given its excessively complex design.
I didn't know this was a thing, ignorance truly is bliss.
Even that doesn’t pass the sniff test. I can record my own original information onto a cassette tape. If labels don’t want records to be created they shouldn’t blast the songs out for free. Claw back the royalties from the radio stations and see how long that works.
First, I am also frustrated by companies trying to prevent unauthorised used.

But second, the reasons are:

(1) For AI company, someone publishing: "I asked the model a question about crime, and it talked shit about black people! Look! [damning quote that you can also get model to say/do]." Stability took the "let people do what they will" tack and now Forbes and every other major media mouthpiece slams them at every opportunity about how they are ethically-challenged.

(2) For Replika, someone chatting with their online girlfriend: "I love you more than my wife and children." Then someone hacking Replika exposing these conversations, and now Replika is in hot water because all these divorces. Replace example with 100 other similarly awful situations like talking about mental health problems, crimes, petty squabbles with their coworkers, or political problems.
While "lossage" in the context of an OS implies other things, in this statement it could mean time. I've had plenty of time wasted by systemd, as has pretty much everyone I know who has had to do more than basic tasks with systemd (and some people who were just trying to do basic things).
/lit/ is the 4chan board. If you aren’t actually familiar with 4chan past rumors, it has decently good and varied tastes.
The UX for teams is terrible compared with slack, but it pains me to say it, I find the video conference part better than zoom. I use the linux clients.
>Do you have an opinion on whether the work they've done is worth $2 billion?

Their market cap went up by 1 trillion.

Again, they were just compensated in equity. It's easy to look back and criticize them as overcompensated but at the time they were just receiving equity worth a fraction of what it is today.
I can't speak to rrweb specifically, but I can say having used open source projects at large companies that sometimes they require major code changes to work around an internal limitation or use case that upstream frankly might not want.

E.g., my team wrote an exporter plugin for an internal only database, so there's almost zero value to open source it when other exporters for OSS data sources already exist as reference material.
The hate towards systemd stems from a fact that it tries to do so many things -- which is clearly against Unix philosophy.

Also, it has 1.2 million lines of code. It's massive for an init system. It increases the chance of potential bugs which can be exploited.
I did have systemd induced problems but not recently. It was beta quality software when it was first introduced. Even on Debian which wasn't the first distro to ship it. Problems were mostly related to the different naming schemes they introduced to solve problems where the name of a disk or a network interface could randomly change and cause issues. Incidentally that's exactly the areas where it bit me. On a remote system the issues could have been very serious. I did not have such problems in at least 10 years. Ubuntu's new networking changes are causing a similar problem on the latest LTS upgrade. The package manager does not complain about anything nor migrate the configuration but systems end up with no network. These issues are a pain to resolve on remote bare metal servers, thus unacceptable. Yet we accept them. (Not really. There's already an exodus from Ubuntu, due to Snap)

I used Debian without systemd for a long time until it was no longer possible by upgrading. (I believe they make an effort to optionally run without systemd nowadays). In the meantime systemd got better. I still don't like it. It's like how people won't give btrfs another chance because it ate their data once 15 years ago. I think this is completely understandable. Thinking about the past, looking at the history, there's no reason to trust neither the technical skills or ethics of the people pushing systemd (or snaps) either.
Sure I think there is broad agreement with taste argument. However, I think we can agree that humans are on another scale with respect to animal killing. We are way past the survival of the fittest on the plains of the Serengeti here.
There’s two user js files. One has all four. The other has two of four. Note the comments at the top if you’d like to distinguish between them, though certainly others will not.

I also see a disable for 0RTT; why? (Probably for the same reason that disabling TLS 1.2 was popular a few years ago.) Webrender is force-enabled; anyone that this causes startup crashes for is out of luck. Autofill and password saving is disabled; hope you migrated to a third-party app before using this.

I reiterate: Opinionated does not mean Better. It just means opinionated.
I guess, but that still isn't the sort of degradation people have been talking about. It's not a useful data point in that regard.
Former NHTSA head blasts Cruise's 'Humans are terrible drivers' ad
Clever idea. I think you would have to recompute the context (ie embed the prior tokens) every time you swapped models because the weight distributions would be different for each model. Going from big->small might make this overhead worth it, but going back from small->big would assuredly be very costly.
jean yang is pretty much an industry legend at this point, and was hyperfocused on her specific kind of o11y (ebpf based drop-in traffic monitoring) which is an obviously important part of an overall o11y product suite that i think many players would either have to build or buy. i imagine she had her pick of acquirers.

edit: check out her interviews! crazy impressive https://www.listennotes.com/top-podcasts/jean-yang/
That makes me confused even more. Isn’t cutting a non - continuous deformation, that breaks topology?
Can India's new billion-dollar funding agency boost research?
It seems like expanding the "national self-exclusion scheme" to online spending is a good idea. Opt-in for the people who need it, and casino taxes pay for the government to maintain the data and API.
The 21st Century Is Primed for Fire
This is such a tired argument nowadays. Yes, at some point it is about the directors style and artistic vision. Yes, film _still_ has some technical advantages over digital for cine, especially if the director is shooting at a larger format size. Yes, good color graders can take footage from an ARRI and make it look like a certain film stock. No, it’s not that easy to do. Yes, you lose effective resolution taking a bayer filtered image and then converting it to monochrome with the appropriate spectral sensitivity. Yes, ARRIs have a lot of dynamic range now, but they need to leave much more headroom with digi to recover the highlights. Yes, grain is pleasing, and is an important part of the way the image is perceived (see: Arris various new looks in their new camera, that directly modify how the sensor is configured for different grain styles)

The main advantage of digital in cine is that you can shoot and reshoot without dealing with the cost and logistics of film. But it’s Nolan’s summer blockbuster in IMAX format, I think they’ll be alright.
My "weird way" is old-school, I admit, but it's not weird. It used to be mainstream. Google led the charge to deprive "beta" of actual meaning. I won't stop pushing back on it, because the redefinition makes it more difficult to talk about technical issues.

> don't complain when you're paying for something that uses the term the way everyone else does

I won't, because I won't pay to be a beta tester in the first place. I don't care what others do.
Is this via the ChatGPT web interface, or via the API.

I'm wondering if there is a difference?
That's a neat project! I'm gonna give that a try.

I'm personally really looking forward to general hardware availability for SteamOS 3. I'd love to have a small but capable machine sitting behind the TV running Linux with Steam
Cats and Dogs Affect the Climate
My very general response to that very general statement is: choices and decisions can be made collectively as well.

At their best, regulations ARE exactly that - bunch of us getting together and saying "well THAT sure sucked; let's not make THAT mistake again; let's do better choices in the future". It's us saying that we are capable of learning and we don't have to make every.stupid.mistake.over.and.over.again individually.

We will probably also agree very quickly on what regulations are at their very worst, or even at their median / mediocre! :). And then it becomes an intelligent discussion on where we each draw the line and what are good ratios and compromises.

But I have limited respect for drawing the line at either plus or minus infinity and pretending it's a meaningful statement or a good principle to live by :-/

[if your post was sarcasm, apologies/nm; easy to miss those online]
Yep ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and Elite Desks go for pennies on eBay.
Don't a lot of content creators expect payment per use? Like every time someone streams a song on sportify, the artist gets a few pennies.

So should they be paid a few pennies every time the LLM spits out a response that "used" that training data?

And I am pretty sure it's not even possible to really link the output back to training data anyways.
pg used "man behind the curtain" (riff on Oz) for our real estate startup :)
I am responding to the very last point about dropping a future and the resource usage.

Let's assume a future that implements reading from a network socket. And the file descriptor (fd) was already passed to epoll/select (I am ignoring io_uring).

After dropping the future, the socket is is still being considered by the kernel for reading. Eventually epoll will return, and the IO runtime (like tokio) will notice the stray fd and discard it. And can you even close the fd before it is out of epoll?

So until the fd is back to user land, it appears very similar to leaking resources. Even if only for a short time while the IO loop is completing an iteration.
Not even that. What matters is the budget and the team size, not the size of the studio. Rockstar Table-Tennis was not a AAA game despite coming from the AAA developer.
See `man system.conf.d` and DefaultTimeoutStopSec. This can also be set per-service with TimeoutStopSec documented in `man systemd.service`.
Title is correct. Stop the gaslighting.
Simply Parse in C
If Microsoft could get in trouble for bundling its own product (IE) on its own OS (Windows) then IMHO this can in fact be seen as abusing monopolistic market power in the search market to benefit in the browser market.
Ligatures seem like the light theme in your analogy. I do NOT want my code looking one way in the editor, and another when reading PRs on the web. Consistency is king, and this just feels like bells and whistles some designer came up with.

Same reason one uses spaces over tabs, except in Makefiles because someone decided tabs are mandatory. With spaces copying the code from one place to another doesn't change the indentation too much.

I'm sure I would get used to it after a while, but right now I'm having trouble even reading the examples. I don't need my editor to be too special.
I would like to read on this. Do you have any source?
Show HN: Infisical – open-source secret management platform
Hi HN, we’re the founders of Infisical, the open source secret management platform – it provides an end-to-end set of tools to manage your secrets across your team and infrastructure (https://infisical.com/).

Excited to show you all the progress that we’ve made in the past few months after our Launch HN in February (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34955699) and Show HN in December (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34055132).

During the previous Show HN and Launch HN, we received a ton of feedback which helped us improve Infisical. We’ve since released:

- Secret scanning: a new toolset to block commits with hardcoded secrets and continuously monitor your code.

- Folders: Deeper organizational structure within projects to accommodate for microservice architectures and storage of more secret types like user API keys and OAuth tokens.

- Node and Python SDKs, Webhooks: More ways to integrate and start syncing secrets with Infisical across your infrastructure.

- Integrations with Terraform, Supabase, Railway, Checkly, Cloudflare Pages, Azure Key Vault, Laravel Forge, and more.

- Secret Referencing and Importing: to create a proper single source of truth.

- 1-click deployments to AWS EC2, Digital Ocean, Render, Fly.io: More ways to self-host Infisical on your own infrastructure.

In addition, the platform has become more stable and undergone a full-coverage penetration test; we’ve also begun the SOC 2 (Type II) certification process.

Overall, we’re really lucky to have support of the developer community, and, in fact, Infisical has gathered over 7k GitHub stars, and now processes over 200 million secrets per month for everyone from solo developers to public enterprises.

Our repo is published under the MIT license so any developer can use Infisical. Again, the goal is to not charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for some enterprise features as well as providing a hosted version and support.

Check out Infisical Cloud (https://infisical.com/) or self-host Infisical on your own infrastructure (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical). We’d love to hear what you think!

We’re excited to continue building Infisical, and keep shipping features for you. Please let us know if you have any thoughts, feedback, or feature suggestions!
If you mean just recording the product without the actual price used, that loses information and isn't what I'd do. I would write the price IDs that were used and input different prices during happy hour. Same complexity as writing the $ amounts except I'm writing fkeys instead so I track which pricing structure was used.

If the customer uses a coupon, I relate to it. If I have a distributed system with often-disconnected followers, I sync in new prices and coupons without affecting the old ones. If local managers are allowed to temporarily change prices, I preserve the local price when syncing in the headquarters' price (in fact the local one would probably be in a separate "price overrides" table).
You understand that when you are free you can be free to collectively regulate too.
We had a neuropsych eval and they recommended reading the book "Your Defiant Child" https://www.amazon.com/Your-Defiant-Child-Second-Behavior/dp...

It's been helpful and was initially counterintuitive. I think the author has one for teens as well.

This may not apply to your situation but the parents have to be on the same page as each other and have a mutually respectful parenting style otherwise things will appear unstable and the kid will exploit that loophole.

Also for all behavioral problems, the only person you can change or control is yourself.

And remember that every behavior is a form of communication of some underlying need.
