Good points raised. In Go, I've struggled to attach stack traces to errors. I have a plan (a custom error type, and type checking for that type) but it's not "bulletproof". Seems similar. Seems like there's opportunity for some language evolution here.
Those all sound like solid arguments not to do it?

I used to cook with a trick invented by an italian woman, called "vasocottura" (then my microwave broke, possibly because of that).

You basically put food in a sealed glass jar, and cook it in the microwave for 6 minutes. The air inside will slip out through the seals, resulting in a near vacuum effect. The food will keep cooking for circa 20 minutes while it cools down. Then you can either warm it up in the microwave until the seal unlocks or put the food in the fridge (depending on the food type it will last from a few days to a few weeks thanks to the vacuuming)

Not every dish comes good (and the vegetables soften considerably), but the flavor is incredible (thanks to the vacuuming) and it takes 20 minutes total without no human handling. You also can batch preparation, while one jar is cooking, you can prepare the following ones, and have up to 10 dishes ready in 1 hour of active work.

Here is a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/ccyOSIvqtgQ?feature=share

Don't try it without further investigation, since not every jar will work without breaking itself or the microwave.

At this point, I feel twitter & musk no longer belong on HN. Unless there is some technical story atleast.
It is not as trivial as you think, but it is possible. M-x in Emacs does it. But it is certainly not as simple as "just remove start and end parenthesis" :-). In a Lisp-2 if you type a symbol "foo" without parens, you are asking for symbol foos value as a variable, but it you type (foo) you are asking for symbol foos value as a function. Since every symbol in a Lisp-2 language (Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp some other possibly) can have both variable value and function object assign to it, how would system know which one you ask for?

Anyway, it is possible to do, for example M-x in Emacs does it. They do it by means of restricting repl to execute only functions, and they limit that to special function with so-called "interactive" form, whose job is to provide function arguments.
Yes, although the transition from Docker to Podman would be seamless, the transition from the blogpost to HN wouldn't be :p
Letss gooo!! Supabase keeps on delivering things that I need.

I am regularly surprised how bad the tooling is for SQL/databases. Especially that there is no decent formatter that supports plpgsql, and doesn't absolutely mangle your queries (sometimes actually breaking your queries..).

Best options atm are imo TablePlus and DataGrip, I have tried a bunch of options in vscode and although there are useful tools, it's all not really there.

(Also excited to see what else they will release this launch week!)
Most of the world is shifting that way, due to Russian and Chinese funded far-right groups. See AfD in Germany, and the Republican Party in the USA. It’s a shame that this rise in ultranationalism in India coincides with a massive economic boom, which will cause many to see a causal connection that isn’t there.
That just means there is one more step in the chain to try and identify me, not that it’s impossible.
People complaining about the current social security ”demise”, and people claiming that the Austrian backpack is the solution, are the same, i.e. people who believe that individualized plans are preferable to socialized ones, but fail to understand that it creates more disparity, and less security.

The Austrian backpack is extremely beneficial to large companies, thus is of no surprise that it gets touted in the news from time to time.

They don’t talk that much about its biggest drawback: in a market where wages are already low and talent is rarely valued, it would make firing people so cheap, companies wouldn’t really have any incentive to keep highly paid employees, even if they are excellent performers.
The comment you're complaining about says "beyond standardized media types (HTML, CSS, JS)".

"Beyond" in this case means "not only".

I trust my brain to do the work and if I am not able to produce a relevant summary on demand, so be it. What I read is being processed and I do not know how, when, or why, or to what end it will be useful, but it likely will. In other words, all the books I have read and digested, even partially, are metabolized.
I've used vim daily for years, must-have editor. My condolences to his family and friends.

I'm surprised to see RedHat thinking that programmers will prefer a desktop GUI interface to CLI for operations like starting containers. I thought that thinking had died out 20 years ago and that even Java and Windows people understood that it wasn't what programmers wanted.
The police flasher, with a 555 timer and a decade counter to get the classic police effect, is a thing of the past. These days you'd put in a microcontroller and program in the desired sequence. I don't know which is better, but that's how the world is.
Sync has been my mobile Reddit driver for over a decade and when Reddit dialed its enshitification to eleven and banned third party clients I immediately jumped over to Lemmy, but the available clients weren't quite up to snuff. Good for how new they were (e.g. Voyager) but Sync is a very mature app.

Having Sync for Lenny has been great so far, it feels like a lesser populated Reddit, for all intents and purposes, and I have zero need to go back to Reddit at this point.

I see this as a win for the Fediverse, and there are plenty of open source Lemmy clients out there for those who don't quite gel with the closed source nature of Sync.
Currently you can be an anonymous creator and sell your stuff in various places. You can also be a celebrity and live from a mix of Patreon and social media. The suggestion to allow free sharing of everything would remove the first model. I’d prefer the first model to stay viable. And being a celebrity also involves business skills. You’re just selling yourself instead of things.

> You can tell how good a job corporatists and statists did at eliminating homemaker by observing how most moderns fruoously rebuke even the mere suggestion that the role was A Good Thing.

Indeed. Ironically, the effect is to be expected, and in every other situation people would call it obvious. Give everyone $1k in unconditional basic income? Obviously, the market will quickly readjust prices to consume surplus income. But then, get people to run two-income households, and be surprised the prices readjusted so that single-income household is no longer a possibility?
There's a difference between magic performed for others and magic performed for yourself.

When you perform magic for other people it should be on par with if not better than what they've seen before.

When you perform for yourself... Anything goes. You set your own bar.

No it's just the money part. Taking a rush hour train to and from work in London adds 10 crappy hours to your week, and chances are you won't have a space to open your laptop either.

If you add those 10 hours the benefits of WFH become very very real.
That is one option. Will see if I can make it configurable and/or dependent on the theme.
Hi everyone! Did not expect this much interest! Here's a gist of the code I wrote last night: https://gist.github.com/willmeyers/6fdb4a502b8dffce758bde084.... It's slow, bad, etc... please go easy on me. Feel free to modify and share your findings as well.

As for missing names, since I only grab one timestamp at the end of the day it's definitely likely names get missed as the bar is manually added by the HN team as any time. I'm not purposely omitting names.

Queen Victoria died in 1901. I bet there were people alive at Elizabeth II’s coronation half a century later who still referred to Victoria as “the” queen.
All our apps are containers, so being on the server is a rarity. Quick CLI edits, I use vscode for these days (but am investigating switching to fleet as per the last time it came up here!)
This is good. I felt really annoyed that Ubuntu versions of podman lagged significantly and podman's official stance is basically just "deal with it" while they provide support for every other platform.
I actually do prefer hybrid, except hybrid meetings.

I worked remotely for years before the pandemic too, so I am not a newbie to remote work who just doesn't get it.

I get value from the office being a good social space, and a good space to focus if I am noticing my self-dicipline drift. There really is some good adhoc discussions that happen in person that just don't occur online as well.

I would never give up WFH though, it is what allows me to handle the whole week in general. Fewer distractions, no commute means more rest, means better thoughts. If I were a perfect worker robot it wouldn't matter where you put me, but I am a human so my needs fluctuate. Having options lets me be where I can work best and be happiest on any given day.
That's wrong. Every minute spent interacting with a fake lead is a minute lost with a real scam victim.

The answer is to "reply" from a throwaway email account. That keeps your real email off active target lists. No spammer uses unique reply-to emails per recipient, so there's no trace back to your original email address. That requires brains for them to setup.
My experience on Mac:
- colima: Testcontainers cannot connect to the containers when the tests are ran from the command line (I have env vars DOCKER_HOST=unix:///Users/dxxvi/.colima/docker.sock and TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock). However, the same tests ran fine in IntelliJ.
- Docker Desktop: doesn't have the above issue.

Don't know why.
If you look at my history I've been recently told this a couple of times. Which is starting to concern me, because I may have lost the ability to recognize humor.

When I posted it, the following post `Fantastic, I adore it! In a weird way, this also serves as a training manual for becoming a good cook. [...]` was at the top. Given your reply, now I don't understand if this post is also meant to be humor. But if it were, then I would ask myself why this and the post itself is on HN.

Sure, humor is great, but if you now look at the front page of HN, you won't see a single post which is to be consumed for the giggles. I go to HN because it focuses on interesting topics, and if there is some humor, it is more in the style of XKCD, which is welcome.

The cookbook could have been something interesting if it had really valuable recipes, because "Some days are at the absolute limit of what we can manage. Some days are worse than that. Eating—picking a meal, making it, putting it into your facehole—can feel like an insurmountable challenge." hits close to home. I thought, that in HN fashion, I would get something helpful to read. But if the intent of the book is meant to belittle people like me, because apparently it is a joke, then I'd rather not like to see this stuff on HN.
That’s the cost of productivity. /s
Me and docker desktop for Mac do not get on. I've switched to OrbStack and it's a breath of fresh air.
Very interesting! Many poor people in Ireland emigrated or were sent to the new world too. The rhotic "r" is prevalent in the Irish language, and it is a distinct characteristic of the sound of Hiberno-English (and other accents with a Celtic influence of course).

There's a cool video on YT called "A London Accent from the 14th to the 21st Centuries"[1] — I'm sure it's not meant to be definitive, but it's very interesting to note the presence or absence of the rhotic "r" during different periods.

Speaking of the New World — this is something of a side topic, but I think it's fascinating that "caulk" is commonly used in the U.S. and Canada; e.g: bathroom tiling. In my experience at least, you wouldn't really hear someone use the word in that context in the U.K. or Ireland. Most people I've asked associate it exclusively with boats.

I have a speculative pet theory on this — originally, caulk specifically referred to the materials used to fill the gaps between boards in a wooden ship.

Since practically everyone who originally came to the New World came on old wooden ships, it's not hard to imagine that "caulk" — once specific to ship building and maintenance — became well known to emigrant populations and took on a broader meaning over time.

In contrast, it's likely very few people who remained in the Old World at that time were ever in a wooden ship, and "caulk" remained less well known and retained its specific meaning.

This wont change VC/PE at all. It fits right into the playbook.
1. Take on as much debt as possible.
2. Extract as much of that cash in the form of management fees as possible.
3. Flip to next phase within 3-5 years.

If there is meat left on the bone, give it to another VC/PE. If not, try to IPO and leave the public and pensioners holding the bag. If its so garbage you can’t IPO then declare bankruptcy and move on to the next victim… erhm company.

Yes I know PE and VC are different. However, they both follow this basic playbook with some nuances.

100% agree, I use vim integrations all the time and it annoys me to no end that I cannot act on a function, an identifier, a block.

Text editing is powerful but it is definitely not a seamless interface to my brain when I have to think of how to map what I want to do (eg delete a function) to how I can do it given the specific layout of the text (delete the indentation level with daI but the signature was over several lines so I need a few extra dd).
Top talent probably never had much issue negotiating whatever they want.

It's the rest of us who are impacted. Most companies don't need or want top talent, just good enough mediocrity that will fall in line, do the work, and not make a stink about it. They don't care if they lose a few percent of top workers as long as they have a steady stream of easier to manage mediocre applicants. It's kinda a filtering process both ways.
A few years ago, I saw a social media prank of posting a photo of an author - say, George RR Martin - with the caption "Renowned American fantasy George RR Martin at age 74, at his home in New Mexico yesterday. Martin's best known series, A Song of Ice and Fire was adapted into the television series A Game of Thrones."
I was the Compuserve rep for Interplay back in the day, and the account number (76702,1342) will be forever burned in my memory. That account was free for some areas of CIS, but not all of it (much to the chagrin of one of producers, who ran up a $1,500 bill in one month of gaming).
There are some problems especially with the QEMU integration. E.g. two bugs that irritated me immensely:

* podman with --network host won't expose the ports.

* If you suspend the laptop the time on the VM goes haywire.

I always found docker to be unreasonably buggy too so am not sure how I feel about this.
Yeah I think he should be. That's why I posted him. The guy's a legend, but I'd never heard his name before I was, like, curious about SSH, too. :)

The shadow-CEO of a social media company threatening to sue the employers of their users seems a pretty big deal and worth talking about for a variety of reasons.

What I'm wondering is: does the guy who told Musk he was talking nonsense about the Twitter codebase and got fired fall under this promise:

> “If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill,” Musk said in a post on X, adding that there will be no limits to funding the bills.

The hardest part of cooking is often the mental load of "what am I going to eat?". Infinite choices. To pick one is to deny all the rest. What do I even have? What could I make that's worth eating?

At the start of the pandemic, my wife and I began solving this problem with meal planning.

Every Saturday morning, when we're at a pretty high energy level, we decide on lunch and dinner for the next seven days. Including when leftovers will be eaten. Then I go buy the groceries needed for those meals. We keep the schedule in a shared word doc. The system has evolved over time but the core idea of pre-planning the decisions has always been there.

Now there are no decisions to make. It's Thursday night and you're exhausted? You are having sausage pasta. That's the plan. Get cooking, it's easy and you have everything.

If you read the description of the linked book and feel you relate to it, I cannot recommend this strategy enough.
Some people are just incredibly fast at reading. I know people that can read a book in a day and lend it to me. When I'm finished a week later we can have a conversation about it. I think it's just about finding time.
Oh, ok, I thought it was bundled with the download.
Interesting, what languages are supported? I did not see a list, only the comment “multiple languages supported”. As others said diagrams sell but notoriously hard in practice due to the “hair ball” problem.
Apple doesn’t need to ‘get websites’ for this though? It seems like it can entirely bypass DNS and most of the other web paradigms that facebook et al have popularized.
I relate to this too. I spent a year in a company were I was hired to kickstart their technology department but the CISO actually wanted to outsource development (he used to be employed by the outsourcing company, what a coincidence!). Then I made a mistake of joining a fintech scale up that run like a body shop. Both places were very frustrating for me and tilted me into a burn-out (or even mild depression?) similar to what you describe.

For a bit more than year the only thing I could read was science fiction books, when I would usually read ~20 technical books a year and do multiple courses. For a while I even thought I had somehow got ADHD as I couldn't focus.

I came out from that about 6 months ago and I'm slowly coming back to my 'normal'. I put myself the objective of learning Functional Programming and just finished a couple of beginner Haskell books and courses, which I found quite refreshing.
It also doesn't take into account space and flexibility needs for a family. It's only equivalent for the least demanding individuals: single, relavitely young people. If you want to raise a family, London is easily 500% more expensive than the suburbs (because you need 3-4 bedrooms), and the transport costs are just total loss, since they don't allow you to travel (... together with your family, unless you pay a lot more)
Yes - far too hard, and far too much time.

I'd immediately buy pre-diced items and would have to find a recipe that could be made in less than 15 minutes, and even then that's pushing it.

My solution was soylent/equivalent. 8 years on I'm still drinking it.

That level of detail generally requires precise details about air temperature, winds and layer mixing, humidity level, and aerosol composition, which are hard to gather.

For certain cases, like Table Mountain, it will be more predictable because there is less sensitivity to the exact conditions, and I think the weather patterns are more consistent coming off the ocean.

Then again, if you see a hurricane cloud band coming, you can predict its arrival to within 5 minutes. We were at the beach once and saw the outer band, from a hurricane hundreds of miles away, getting closer. We decided we needed to pack up and get going. From sunny sky to rain was only about 10 minutes. (We knew it was coming, and kept on eye on the sky.)

Prediction of the arrival of a storm front might also be that accurate for several hours ahead.

I’m personally at a stage of disillusionment with the modern web such that I think returning to the early ideas without improvement is an improvement over the status quo.

It may be true that what the author describes is rudimentary, but to me, that’s kind of the point.

This isn’t to say that better tools aren’t needed. But I’m fully on board with what I see as a movement/mindset shift back to the fundamentals of the early web.

If memex becomes a concept of interest in the 2020s, perhaps interested people will invest in building better tools.

Ding ding ding. Exactly!

Don't forget you also have to wash, peel, top and tail, clean, sharpen knives, etc..

A full dinner from when you get up to make it to when you sit down with everything washed/put away is more like 60 minutes in a best-case scenario. 7 hours a week. 364 hours a year. Feels like a crime to use so much time on basic survival needs that have been solved.
