> Tailscale isn't really "open source" ...

As you would have read a few paragraphs further on in TFA they describe the situation with much more clarity:

"Tailscale uses the open source WireGuard protocol, and its client apps are open source, but the coordination services are proprietary."

As a rule, plugging your own stuff on HN is actually acceptable, but it needs to be clearly labeled as a plug and you should do it under your own account. Doing it like this—throwaway account plugging a service with no disclosures of any kind—looks really suspicious.
Based on some of his more candid interviews, especially ones shortly after the collapse, it seems SBF doesn't have much of a moral center. Whether or not he's also autistic, I can't say, but he clearly does consider himself to be superior to most everyone else, and his altruism was anything but sincere.

Your comment says a lot with few words. I agree, it starts with or at least includes education. You know how hard this is? It's not school, it's parents. Let your kids disagree with you, be respectful of people you obviously disagree with in their presence. Read them opinions or books that make you uncomfortable and then explain why. School can help, but the environment at home can so easily override that.

And of course the mountains of deductions and balance sheet games you can play with a lot of real estate.

We already know the C-suite is oligarchical in nature with wage suppression in Silicon Valley, so we know they meet and communication. And things like corporate real estate is garden variety MBA stuff that these guys can freely talk about at the get-togethers.

Not having employees in buildings means those buildings aren't really worth anything. A collapse in the value of office space is something none of these companies want. It would impact share price, options, and executive pay, because these things are 30-50 year investments at a minimum.

You make an interesting point but I think there are two separate issues.

Freedom of speech does not mean a requirement for people to listen or to have your ideas broadcast.

In general nobody should be compelled to promote your ideas. With Twitter and others, the issue is that they are monopoly platforms, and so by refusing to carry some ideas they are effectively censoring them and denying free speech. It would be like saying you can say whatever you want in a public square but some people need to wear soundproof masks when they do it.

All that to say, the issue imo is we need better laws around monopolies that include common carrier type rules that prevent their interference, not because companies shouldn't be allowed to censor, but because monopoly platforms shouldn't.
> it is definitely not the oldest

IIRC, the oldest was git itself (it self-hosted early on its development history); git, linux, and sparse are IIRC the three projects that have been using git the longest.
And once have an AI engine that, given just the instructions on how to drive a car and a list of road rules, can operate one perfectly, I'd agree we're a huge step closer to an AGI (if it can also learn how to do all the other things most humans can just given similar inputs, then sure, it would qualify unreservedly).
This is a step in the right direction, but Zero has some serious need to repair their reputation, IMHO. They attempted to do the scummy “pay to unlock” thing with features already on the bike.
> Unprotected individuals aren't undoing the protection vaccines provide to the people who get vaccinated.

This was never the main argument pro-mandate people had. The argument for mandates was that herd immunity would be compromised if a sufficient number of people chose to not to vaccinate thus risking the population which would not be able to get vaccinated such as the immunocompromised.

> Personal choice and body autonomy should be something we all support.

I think this is true up to a point, where that point is is what should be argued. I think if a disease were sufficiently deadly and had a long incubation period such that it would allow itself to spread rapidly, we'd all argue that vaccine mandates should be enforced.

For example, consider the following hypothetical. Suppose a reliable vaccine existed for virus X with similar side-effects to current COVID vaccines. Virus X has 95% mortality for children and is as infectious as COVID, i.e. very infectious. In this scenario, would you still be opposed to vaccine mandates? Even if it had a 100% mortality rate for children and/or were even more infectious?

If I'm not wrong, Gab was cut off by pretty much all payment processors and had to launch its own to survive.

> if I’m asking Linus about btrees he’s probably going to tell me to fuck off

That's the thing, you know? It's a very unequal world out there. I have many gaps in my knowledge due to lack of formal computer science and engineering education. While I'd very much like to participate, sometimes I feel like it'd be a waste of other people's time to answer my dumb questions. I really don't want to be a help vampire.

ChatGPT turned out to be a great solution to this problem.
Our company is mandating a 3-day in office starting soon.

I’m a bit of an exception because I’m in a city that only has a couple hundred employees, but when I do return to the office, it won’t be to collaborate with teammates: I will be joining zoom calls with people in other cities (which was my day-to-day pre-pandemic). Pre pandemic I would travel every 2-weeks to company HQ to be in-person for demo with stakeholders and sprint planning, but even then many people would join via zoom anyway.

I don’t think return for office has anything to do with productivity and more about anxiety around investments in commercial real estate.
I started webdev (or webapp dev or what ever it was called) quite "late" into my career about 13 years ago. At the time ruby+MySQL were the biggest rage. For some reason I was reading that while MySQL was blazing fast, postgres was standards compliant and focusing on being "correct" and thought ful about it's evolution. I even (may be naively) reasoned that, this deliberate focus + lending itself to better control plane development (I didn't know about control planes at that time but coming from embedded systems had a gut feel about it) were going to be powerful features. Again pure gut feel as I had no web or service dev experience (came from a c++ background).

I am so glad I picked postgres as my db for life when it was not such a cool thing. It has been vindicated time and time again!
I forgot that last part! Thanks for that nostalgia blast.
It doesn't do much extra I guess.

In standard multiprocessing, all arguments are pickled and pushed to a queue for processes in the pool to use.

To pass heavy arguments, the trick to using CoW was to place them as global variables before the map.

My understanding from Mpire is that they do the same thing, but expose a `shared_objects` parameter to make it less hacky than global variables.

I guess their benchmarks compare against pickling arguments, not against using global variables/CoW, which is why they boast performance increase.
"bucket of patches" doesn't imply the patches couldn't be replayed to a point in time. Looking at the docs, you could probably use `log` and `unrecord` to go back to an earlier state. Or use `change` to view a particular change.

"What is clear -- regardless of whether the defendant was the first source for stories regarding Ellison -- is that the defendant, rather than deny his guilt as he correctly now says it is his right to do, shared materials with the press obviously designed to intimidate, harass, and embarrass someone he knows is slated to testify against him, and to provoke an emotional response in potential jurors and color a potential jurors view of that witness."

"In support of its argument, the defense purports to attach an expert affidavit . . . discussing the constitutional considerations implicated by detaining Mr. Bankman-Fried on the current record. (Dkt. 185 at 2). The so-called expert affidavit is, in substance, an amicus brief filed without a request for leave to do so, written by a professor who is affiliated with the law firm representing the defendants father in connection with the Governments investigation."

That's Larry Tribe, once considered an authority on First Amendment issues.

"For example, in an attempt to cast the defendants conduct as protected expression rather than an effort to subvert the integrity of the judicial process, the declarant writes: Mr. Bankman-Fried has a constitutional right -- when sought out by reporters for his perspective on stories they are writing -- to avoid projecting a false image of someone who is media-shy or, worse, someone whose consciousness of guilt makes him shun the media rather than being forthcoming. (Dkt. 185-1 at 8)"

SBF as "media shy". Indeed.
I have used git without a central server many, many times. Passing bundles by email or USB sticks, and pushing and pulling between workspaces. At work, it is because we have often have different networks, isolated for security reasons. For personal use, I don't really have a central server. I may use GitHub, because it offers free hosting and serves as a backup, but it isn't central in the sense that it is not always the git-remote "origin".

It may not be the most typical workflow, and it requires some getting used to but it is 100% usable. In fact, I am not aware of a "central server" for the Linux kernel. For all I know, the closest thing to it could be Linus Torvalds's PC.
Direct evidence, mountains of it, of government coercion of media and tech, we have the emails, they are public records, and people sre still trapped in their bubble of propaganda (or are paid shills).

> I think it's really valuable having a conversation partner with infinite patience for explaining things

This is what keeps me coming back. So much knowledge is just unapproachable because of the domain-specific semantics used, even in introductory/help contexts. From the opening text of the man page for "cat," arguably the most basic command in Linux:

> By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic and the corresponding DEST file is made sparse as well. That is the behavior selected by --sparse=auto. Specify --sparse=always to create a sparse DEST file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes. Use --sparse=never to inhibit creation of sparse files.

I've been using Linux for 20 years and have no idea what the fuck any of this means. Slapping an "ELI5" prefix on it and feeding it to GPT makes this stuff intelligible, even if it's wrong (for unfamiliar concepts about not-code, I'll ask the same question three different ways and see if/how much it differs).
> - from what i understood, they also "kind of" kicked Brendan Eich (yeah, Brave's CEO, the guy that invented JS, etc...) out over some "personal" things that had nothing to do with Mozilla

Was it for public statements that might be construed as creating a hostile work environment?

I don’t know why it’s so hard for leadership to just keep their nose clean, avoid making any sweepingly bigoted statements, do their jobs, and make their millions. If you’re an embarrassment for the company as an IC you’re gone, even if it happened in your personal life and not at work. Why should leadership be held to a lesser standard, especially when they actually do hold power over people’s lives and careers?

Its 2023 and we’re still doing the “blizzard defense”, employees just need to live with the hostile work environment, it’s personal beliefs/not serious, right? And while some companies might let you get away with it, the law is not exactly on your side either.
I don’t know where your stance is but AFAIK dark matter is not an established fact. In fact, nobody has ever proved the existence of dark matter, not to mention describing its properties or even seen it. Very recently, a research paper made the round with the claim that in very low acceleration, the gravity force works more like MOND and not as Newton or Einstein described. One consequence of such observations is the inconsequence (no need) of dark matter, but the need for a new/modified law of gravity. Would you call such authors “denier”?

The very essence of science is to (able to) denied itself, once discrepancies between theory and observation appear. Every scientific theory in history has been and will be proved wrong, making place for a better one. Every! And that’s science. Otherwise, I’ll call it doctrine or religion.

I’m very much for fighting the climate change (and consequently believe in its anthropogenic cause). But I welcome anyone who can scientifically disprove it, meaning with facts, logic and falsifiable theory.

Luck is pretty much the defacto model for capitalism. Luck has so much to do with everything and nothing at all. Being prepared? They got lucky in that they were prepared for what actually happened. They had no control over the market, for all they knew the phones would explode after 600 days of use. They weren’t prepared for jail breaking via a TIFF file, they weren’t prepared for that at all.

I don’t know or care about Steve Jobs, so I can’t really comment on his luck. But lucky people tend to be lucky.

I’m not dismissing what they did, but by putting them on a pedestal, you are dismissing all the other innovations that have come and failed, for nothing more than not being as lucky. I worked on some game-changing real-estate software in 2007-8. They weren’t so lucky. Had the crash happened a year or two later, the entire way you buy/sold houses would be different.
What's the advantage of all of this being distributed - including on IPFS - vs. using "block chain technology" to sign writes, etc, to something locally stored?

Code caching is a real thing. And the latest code can often start executing at the worst possible time — randomly during a deployment, a few weeks/ months later, or after a C# file in the same project was modified.

Well, since you phrase it that way, sure:

> The problem that Qualcomm and all the other ARM manufacturers have: they're impossible for tinkerers to get ahold of

This sounds more like a problem tinkerers have rather than a problem that Qualcomm or ARM manufacturers have.

Qualcomm doesn't care about the tinkerers so it's not a problem to them.

Embedded ARM systems like my router or smart thermostat seem fine.

Google controls Android and it also seems fine for 99% of their users. There are thousands of Android developers.

There are ARM boot standards like

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0029/latest/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Base_System_Architectur...

But in general embedded device makers don't care about having a common boot system. They want to make their device as cheaply as possible. If the common standard helps them do that then they would adopt it. Otherwise it is unnecessary overhead.

So what do you actually want? A cheap desktop level ARM system? I doubt that is going to happen. The number of people who want such a thing is extremely low even though places like Hacker News make it seem like it would be popular.

> You can demand the right to free speech. You can't demand everyone has to listen.

You can't demand that everyone has to listen, but you can absolutely demand a neutral channel where people who want to listen can go to listen to you. People that don't want to listen to you can use that channel too, without opting in to follow you. Nobody is forced to listen, nobody is forced to be silent.

What you really want, instead, is that nobody should be able to listen to the speech you don't like because you're afraid that other people might decide they like it.
