I worked one place that missed a golden opportunity to build one to throw away.

The short version is that the team formed and started working on the designated product, but very shortly after a VP-level exec got directly involved and started asking about where "his" product was. This was before I joined, so I'm not sure if the original direction was supposed to include this or if there was some management nonsense behind it, but the team had to quickly pivot and deliver something for this needy VP that was kind of sort of related to their stated goal.

In any case, the programmers got their marching orders and rushed out something to satisfy the VP, then went back to focusing on their original goals.

The real work overlapped, in technology and business function, with the rush goal. After they were done, they could have stepped back, taken a look at what they did to get it done, identify the shortcomings, missteps, and undesirable consequences of the decisions made for that work.

They could have proceeded with the main work using all the lessons from the 'emergency' work, and avoided a lot of the problems they'd created in rush to production. Instead, they decided to build, or perhaps more accurately defaulted to building, the real product on top of the work they done for the rush job.

After another six or eight months, the project was in serious enough trouble that programmers were leaving, and they ended up with an almost 100% turnover in engineers. The manager's response was to start micromanaging everything and set the team up for a death march to a predefined release date.
I don't care enough to bother with figuring out what DE I'm using. That is just not a stone that I'm interested in overturning.
This wasn't about "ga-ga over celebrities". This was "ga-ga over the free shit he promised them".
Yeah I get that. But removing underbrush (ignoring the impossibility of the scale of it) would make controlled burns again possible.

Currently there's so much that any controlled burn would get out of control and turn into a real one. At least that's how I understood it
> Question: is Objective-C post 2.0 being actively maintained outside of Apple?

Yes as part of the GNUStep project [1]. You can compile Objective-C with Clang for any platform, including Windows, and link with the GNUStep Obj-C runtime. The big problem is outside of GNUStep and macOS you won't have any frameworks - not even NSString.

> I loved Objective-C very much (yes, really) and I'd like to continue using it after Apple phases it out

You're not alone. Unlike C++, Obj-C was a reasonable OO extension to C. It's a shame the language never received more love.

Terragrunt shines in cases where you have independent sets of Terraform state, especially if they are dependencies/dependents of one another.

For example, say you're using Terraform to manage AWS resources, and you've provisioned an Active Directory forest that you in turn want to manage with Terraform via the AD provider. Terraform providers can't dynamically pull things like needed credentials from existing state, so you end up needing two separate Terraform states: one for AWS (which outputs the management credentials for the AD servers you've provisioned) and one for AD (which accepts those credentials as config during 'terraform init').

Terragrunt can do this in an automated way within a single codebase, redefining providers and handling dependency/dependent relationships. I don't know of a way to do it in pure Terraform that doesn't entail manual intervention.
The natural world doesn't care about eloquence or debating skills. Something is either true, or it isn't. I always very much liked that about physics and various other real world skills. You can't trick your way around nature at all. This is also what I always really liked about computer programming: you can't expect the computer to take the blame for your errors, it's always you when things don't work the way you intended. This can get pretty touch, but the machine is patient, it will point out the error of your ways until you fix it, you can't convince it, you can not reason with it, you can only persist in your search for what is wrong. I love that aspect of the digital world.
Lead-containing compounds are toxic. In fact, as far as I'm aware, lead-containing compounds are the only toxic kinds of lead. Metallic lead is only hazardous because corrosion forms lead salts on its surface.

While true Dream Theatre is prog metal, it's also great evidence that prog rock was not an embarrassing dead end when you have amazing bands like Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders, Devin Townsend, and Between the Buried and Me as their new prog legacy.

Not a lawyer, but I suspect doing this with prior intent would be fraud (since you enter the contract with intent to violate it) and probably get you sued.
of course not, this is the effect.
I worked for a company that did state gov contracts. We probably built legislative publishing stuff for more US states than any other company in recent years.

We never ever locked anyone in, not even little bit. We bult everything on open standards (odt and later docx), django etc.

A typical cycle was they would hire us to do joint development for 1-2 years, then a juicy support contract for another 1-2 years, then they gave us the boot.

My feeling after doing that many times is there's no money in it really. Government clients are impossible to work with. They have utterly perverse incentives that defy any rational mind and they don't pay if they can get away with it.
Someone will eventually build a static safety checker for zig. No reason memory safety has to be in the compiler.
When I was a kid we had readathons. You would compete to read the most books and gain sponsors to raise money for the school. This gamification totally worked. Kids ended up reading way more books than they would have. I assume this type of thing still exists.

They don't release in the stomach [1]:

There are many pills that release at different points, and speeds, through the digestion. This is why some pills are labelled "do not cut". See enteric coating [2].

Office 365 suite + Windows 11 + Defender EDR/S1/Crowdstrike + Intune or other MDM/RMM like Ninja/PDQ is an excellent stack for productivity, management, and security.

For Mac you need the hardware first, then a google workspace or 365 license, then jamf to manage the fleet + S1/Crowdstrike.

But yes for Desktop use it really shines. PC Gaming too is in a better place than ever. Like 500k is on Steam playing BG3 right now.

Show HN: Unstock.ai – Free image generation with SDXL
Hi HN!

I've got the barebones of a service running on top of Stable Diffusion XL. I can cheaply run image generations at 1024x1024. And of course there's a limit to how fast I can generate them given the request queue and limited GPUs, but the service is cheap enough that I'm happy to run it out of pocket for now.

Let me know your thoughts, I hope you enjoy the service!
Love prog rock, recent find is Gravy Train, self titled album ruled my world for about a month. Also check out Mondo Drag for current incarnations
Yes, and `gettimeofday` is a non-deterministic primitive. There is nothing special about GPUs here. If you write tests that fail sometimes because you used non-deterministic primitives like gettimeofday and someone files a bug we don't throw up our hands and say "this is not a bug but due to how CPUs work." We remove the non-deterministic bit.

There's no difference here. This isn't a GPU problem.
In addition, there are also impacts on other protocols such as ARP, DHCP, ICMP, DNS etc.

So it's not as simple as changing only the IP packet format either.
Companies choose providers and tend to stick with them, but people don't always stick with companies. If I know TF there is a decent chance my skills will be applicable when I change companies.

Also some big corps run their own internal datacenters and have cloud-like interfaces with them. You can write TF providers for that (its not going to be as nice as the public cloud ones, but still nice). Then you can utilize Terraforms multi-provider functionality to have 1 project manage deployments on multiple clouds that include on-prem.

Also terraforms multi-provider functionality is also useful for non aws/azure/gcp such as Cloudflare. As far as I know CDK does not support that.
> You do realise that for most people they do not get buggy games to run.

I don't know what most people do as i am not most people, but i already addressed my expectations and assumptions on the first paragraph of the comment you replied to.
You can, but using Terraform to provision resources inside those accounts entails pulling generated/defined credentials from the org-level TF state and feeding that into the provider config for each app-env-level TF state. Vanilla Terraform doesn't support that very well (or at all, last I checked), but either some CI/CD pipeline creativity or Terragrunt (or both!) can work around it.

>not everyone is going to give something, or anything at all, back.

I would extend that to almost noone.

99% of people are going to not give anything back. 0.9% will file complaints or bug reports or donate money or whatever. 0.1% will actually give back any functional code.
Think of it this way: there is no reason to have any faith that encryption works anymore and no reason to believe that if you are interesting enough that some how enough determination will fail to reveal a secret.

And also, it is complete foolishness to have a third party in possession of passwords. At least use a different one for every site for the kids who grab the rando plain text keystore on rando site.

No detail about me is secret. I always am assured that God knows all. And Angels probably hate it when I look at dirty pictures and worse.

Was that the actual legal situation in 1969 - that software could not be copyrighted?

Agreed, though in this case it was for an older person who had already had a non-supported chromebook.

I don’t think there’s any difference currently. I have a one-generation old Sony TV that I bought from Costco in Canada, and it’s the same model as is sold in Canada outside of Costco.
That's a silly RFC in my opinion. The justifications are "we do it the right and blessed way so nobody else should be allowed".

Also, of course ICANN wants to maintain the monopoly. They get insane salaries at the exec level, of which I'm sure trickles on over to cloudflare.

Don't allow roots to be resolved if they service TLDs that conflict with other roots you already resolve, or they're off. Simple as that.

No. As long as mediocre programmers and organizations require BLIND entry of very complicated passwords on mobile phone teeny weeny virtual keyboards TWICE, nothing will get better.

Nothing will get better because most organizations are on autopilot, only doing "best practices" even when those practices don't make any sense. For instance, typing passwords blind. It exists because CRT terminals had a wide field of view. Flat screens have a marrow field of view, and further, in the form of cellphones, are small and held close to the face. There is no reason to require blind password entry, yet it persists. All of this points to stasis, nothing getting better, and the situation probably getting worse, since there's no upside for anyone contradicting "best practices".

I don’t trust Comcast and coaxial technology to actually deliver close to that if multiple people in the neighborhood are using. As far as I understand, Comcast splits a small amount of bandwidth between a ton of homes, and then applies QoS based on how much people pay. If you buy the 200Mbps up tier, then you might get 200Mbps up for a little bit as a “burst” speed while they take away from the rest of the neighborhood, but not continuous.

If it was comparable to fiber, then they would advertising the upload prominently like fiber ISPs advertise it.

Do you remember the last time you were left speechless by a scientific discovery? Well, grab your jaw because it's about to drop again! What if we told you that an unassuming combination of powdered lanarkite and copper phosphide crystals led to the birth of something extraordinary?

Hold on to your hats, because this experiment is not for the faint of heart!

The Setup That Changed EVERYTHING!

In a lab that must be filled with geniuses, scientists placed powdered lanarkite and copper phosphide crystals in a vacuum-sealed tube and heated them to a scorching 1200K. They left it there, cooking and brewing for 5‒20 hours, and what happened next is something straight out of a sci-fi movie!

The Birth of a Miracle: RTSC!

The result? A Room-Temperature Superconductor (RTSC) that has the potential to revolutionize our entire world! Imagine limitless energy, ultra-fast transportation, and technology that seemed impossible until now!

But Wait, There's More!

This isn't just your everyday scientific breakthrough; this is a game-changer, a mind-bender, a reality-twister! Are you ready to live in a world where RTSCs are the norm? The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Why This Changes EVERYTHING!

Think of electric cars that charge in seconds, trains that float on air, and devices that never run out of juice! This isn't just a leap; it's a quantum jump into the future!

The Scientists Behind the MAGIC!

Who are these wizards of the lab, these alchemists of the modern age? We bet they're celebrating with champagne and confetti, knowing they've just turned the world upside down!

Want to Know More?

Dive into the nitty-gritty, the ins and outs, the secrets behind this jaw-dropping experiment that has everyone talking! The future is here, and it's wilder than you ever imagined!

Conclusion: Get Ready for a Brave New World!

This isn't science fiction; this is science FACT! The creation of an RTSC from powdered lanarkite and copper phosphide crystals isn't just a footnote in a textbook; it's a headline that's screaming, "The future is NOW!"

So buckle up, dear reader, because the world as you know it has just been SUPERCHARGED!
Much faster the second time. Like you said, all of the problems came pre-solved. :-)
>"INTERCAL has many other features designed to make it even more aesthetically unpleasing to the programmer: it uses statements such as "READ OUT", "IGNORE", "FORGET", and modifiers such as "PLEASE". This last keyword provides two reasons for the program's rejection by the compiler:

I used to be a keyboard enthusiasts. I spent a lot of money on various keyboard. Then I got the Kinesis Advantage, and it completely changed me. I have now been typing on the same keyboard for 5+ years. And I probably haven't changed my layout in the last 4 years. It just works so well that I no longer see a need to "find something better".

I think it might be a result of selection bias when you see more "keyboard enthusiasts" with non ergonomic keyboard. When they find their fit with the right ergonomic keyboard/layout, they might not be that active with looking anymore.
Thanks! I suppose it's primarily, but not exclusively, aimed at kids. It has rudimentary multiplayer support now, and my hope is that it can be a place for people to build and learn together.

my little head sometimes has me patch and spin up old pc's which should be a fairly meaningless and pointless exercise if it wasn't for those marvelous algorithms. Each box represents a mental time capsule worth of youtube suggestions. It attempts to lure the viewer into popular shit everyone else is watching but if you carefully avoid those thumbs and click only on the things seeded initially it will gradually show more and more of it. Things like small minded peasants farming their little farm by hand in languages completely unknown to me. The next box is seeded with "full movie" with an algorithm trying to carve out my taste. I also have A box full of little prepper people.

On my main pc it is 100% convinced I want to watch starcraft, technology, coding and fitness videos. Im not completely uninterested but the goal of the design seems to make my mind even smaller. It is constantly signaling that... how put it.... it thinks Im shallow as fuck.

Then again on the other box it is convinced I want to see nothing but old people planting rice. Its probably not good for its world view. If it was conscious it would be a cruel thing to do.
