I've only skim-read your articles so far, but it looks excellent. Congratulations and please keep doing work like this. I previously worked as a research engineer (a fancy name for a software engineer working in a university lab, in my case doing computer security research) so believe me when I say there are graduate students who don't have your grasp of operating systems (see the comments elsewhere on OS courses being optional).

> Apparently everything online about how operating systems and CPUs work is terrible.

Unfortunately finding good information is not easy, but it is out there - you've proven it by synthesizing some of that hard to find information into a better form. My degree is in mathematics, but my computing knowledge is self taught. Knowing how to learn in this way and to be able to communicate highly technical information in an approachable manner are incredibly important skills and not to be underestimated.

I have two links to share - I limited myself to two because we could be here a long time otherwise:

1. https://git.lain.faith/sys64738/airs-notes.git (TOC for linker part here: https://lwn.net/Articles/276782/) - you've scratched the surface of ELFs and linking. This is a 20-article blog series by Ian Lance Taylor plus miscellaneous extra topics containing everything you ever wanted to know about ELFs and quite a bit that will likely make you wonder how any of your commands are actually even working! There's even a brief mention of ELF's companion, DWARF, which amongst other things is a virtual machine used every time a C++ exception is triggered.

2. Have you seen this excellent project? https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/ - essentially a human-readable walkthrough of how the Linux kernel does stuff. Has almost certainly been shared on HN before.
>I don't think I've ever been somewhere where the locals were as suspicious of tourists. The pandemic gutted their economy so the feeling of hopelessness hung around even relatively remote places we visited along the Road to Hana.

I went to Maui last year for the first time. I've visited Kauai in my teens (we had family who lived there) this was the vibe then that they described -- tourists are generally not accepted, esp at the local surf spots. I actually found Maui more welcoming.
I remember "speed running" each of the levels of Jet Force Gemini with my friends and recording our times on an old Geocities website. It was the era just before YouTube and capture cards, so we simply relied on honor.

Whether it's adulting or a different set of priorities, I can't really get into games like I used to. But Rare was a gem, and these are fond memories.
Hi, Azure admin here. The Azure Policy service includes a set of built-in policies to handle tags. There's one policy that requires new resource groups to be created with specific tags. Another policy allows resources within the resource group to inherit the same tags. I think this combination of policies would solve the tagging problem quite neatly, though I haven't tested it myself.
I knew a great guy who worked at Canonical, Adam Conrad. He died two years ago from cancer, way too young. I'm still upset about it. (Not implying this says anything negative about Canonical.) If he was representative of the kind of person who works at Canonical I'd say it's a place worth looking at.
Oracle fucks you in pricing, PostgreSQL in the effort required to pull off a minor version upgrade.
That's because it's the worst of both worlds. If you have to go into a particular office you are still geographically chained. Hybrid only makes sense if you can go to an office that is near you; e.g., a coworking space.
That is always sound advice. Undersized engines are as good as 'no engine' in some situations and you may end up having to assist someone else. Especially on craft that are not particularly streamlined.
Doing the leg work: For SuSECON 2017 the dates all line up, and also it looks like they usually run the convention in November.

... Looks pretty suspicious overall to me on SuSE's part.

Also understand: The Jewish high holidays run from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, inclusive.
As OP’s numbers show, when it comes to typhoons/cyclones the “expressions of that energy” didn’t get stronger in the last ~50 years, even though measured average temperatures have grown in that time interval.
Portable storage devices should only be treated as temporary storage. Use them for sneakernet, not as a working drive or a place to park important backups. Even in high-end portable drives like this that are just a M.2 NVMe SSD in an enclosure, you still have to worry about bugs in the NVMe to USB bridge chip and unreliable connectivity and power delivery over USB.

There was a time period where it almost made sense to use 2.5" SATA SSDs in hot-swap bays as if they were floppy disks. Unfortunately, the form factor proved unnecessarily bulky for the PC form factors that are popular today, and SATA was a dead-end for performance. But a typical consumer SATA SSD is durable enough for portable usage and more reliable than anything involving USB.
I have a Rapid Raft 2. 3lbs so portable enough for a cargo bicycle escape or to throw in car, or put in a hiking backpack if you know in advance you are going to need it without it being the end of the world in terms of weight, but yeah not the ideal boat and hand paddles are the best you can do for controlled movement. And sort of an awkward weight bc it's not really light enough for EDC but also sort of a shitty as it gets for an emergency craft.

Super easy to inflate though.
Agreed. Consistent is WAY better for me than inconsistent. One of the reasons I hate TypeScript so much is that it provides type safety except when it doesn't, and it takes a lot of experience to actually track down the MANY (non-obvious) places where it doesn't.
> If Cloudflare were to actually be willing to do something against being used by scammers, they'd put the ingress IPs for the C&C infrastructure on dedicated IP ranges and publish these in a machine-readable format so every reasonable person that does not use Cloudflare tunnels can ban them.

I don't like the idea of making it easier to block certain services, because it goes both ways: it'd also be easier for bad guys to block good guys from using said services.
But you're not going to meaningfully spread the energy over time. If the bits are going to hit that means they didn't move more than 4000km after the strike. Assuming they're distributed in a sphere that means none hits more than 4000km early, either (and likewise 4000km late)--and since we are talking about objects with a relative velocity of a few km/sec that means it's dispersed over at most a couple of hours.

By the back of the envelope you're looking at about a megasun.

Once again, a scenario where letting the rock just hit is not as bad--energy spent gouging a huge crater is energy not spend blasting civilization.
That's partly true for established authors,but how many readers will get fooled and think those books are real.

It's worse for new authors, they disappear between all the AI authors.

Publishers and readers will have to search a bigger haystack to find the needle.
>you should have sued them

IANL, but suing for this kind of discrimination doesn't get you very far in Germany. It's not like in the US, or the UK, where at the slightest whiff of discrimination you take your employer to court and become a milionare. German law doesn't entitle you to big money for your emotional suffering, at most the company would have gotten a fine for antisemitism.

You need to bring proof of actual monetary damage you suffered for it to be a case in Germany for you get any compensation, otherwise the judge is just gonna throw the case out of the court.

The German legal system is very different that in the US, and often not in a good way.

Also, building a strong case again Suse with hard evidence, would been tough for him I imagine, getting witnesses willing to speak up, etc., and also, the courts move slow in Germany and the legal fees of playing a long game against such a large company can easily bankrupt an individual, that it becomes a no-go from the start.

I've seen it often in Germany where big companies just get away with bullying small companies or individuals despite being in the wrong, simply because they have deep pockets for lengthy court battles and you don't.

So yes, like you say, technically the law is on your side, but like in many cases, you can end up dying on a hill penniless, with the law on your side.

Edit: I don't want to jump to his defense or on the Suse hate bandwagon since we only heard his side of the story, and so far, there seem to be some evidence to suggest the plaintiff is a bit of whacko, and if he brought his toxic views at the workplace I can see why he got pushed out.

Vocal political and social activism of any kind isn't tolerated at the workplace in Germany, so if you start bringing that shit at work (regardless if it's right or left wing), you will be pushed out, and for good reason.
How much time? I've given it like 6 months where I'm eating wheat again before I'm forced to stop because the symptoms become way too much to deal with.
Agreed, really bizarre. Confusing because most people have never heard of Retool. Potentially misleading because to some it implies either a relationship or a very icky gimmick.
The root problem here is that there's no legitimate way to monetize browser extensions. Extensions are meant to be simple, so it's hard to sell premium features. Extensions usually don't "own" any space to embed ads in.
Assuming the ISP monitors the entire network graph (your computer, the VPN server's activity, and the end service's server), you wouldn't. At that point, it's game over unless you're using mixnets or something.

If they merely monitor your computer and the end service, the correlation weakens a little with plausible deniability.

The real win is when the ISP adversary is monitoring your computer and the WG servers and NOT the end service. In that case, say they see you go to WG1, and then they see WG1 going to an end service. This is also correlation, and pretty undeniable. But say they see you go to WG1, then they see WG1 go to WG2, and they have no visibility of WG2's traffic. Then the tracking's broken; the footprints run off into the surf.

So multiple hops buy you defense in depth assuming it eventually gets you outside your adversary's monitoring range.
This is such misleading title. First off the study is of a very specific kind of job. then it jumps all kinds of generalizations. Does really dig in to why this might be? Was it a training issue. communication specific. Were people just f*'ing off when the should have been answering calls. Does the technology support the job?

I just felt like a bunch of conclusions and generalizations are being thrown around to justify RTO.
K8s documentation falls essentially in two categories: either reference page for k8s components (like the kubelet) that lists all the options woth a very very very brief description … or conceptual tutorial-like that explain some concepts, but without much details.

Nothing in the middle.

There is little documentation on how to put the various pieces together. That’s all on various random webpages outside of the main kubernetes.io website.

The setup tutorial only describes some basic kubeadm-based setup. There’s a lot to improve, if you ask me.
It seems like whenever VPNs are discussed, on HN and elsewhere, a typical refrain is something like "governments can trivially track VPN users, VPNs do nothing". I think I'm probably overstating the claim a little, because I don't remember exactly what it is, and it varies a little from claimant to claimant. But the idea is that you'd have to be naive to think any VPN will protect you from a state actor, because they can either spot you based on when traffic enters and leaves the VPN, or simply because every VPN company provides data to them on request, if not in real time. I can imagine that a determined agency could fairly easily triangulate enough information to identify an individual VPN user's activity, and I can imagine many of them rolling over when threatened. But, this is at least some evidence that VPNs frustrate governments for the very common use case of large numbers of regular people using them to bypass censorship restrictions.
This is misleading. Banks have capital sufficiency requirements following the implementation of the Basel 3 capital sufficiency framework. This has created an international growing market for bulk capital availability and reinsurance services.

In short, due to international capital sufficiency regulations, there's now a market for excess regulatory capital. The attempt to prune low performing assets is due to a market as an alternative to low return on capital investments.

It's not because of charges and overhead.

Banks aren't worried about bad assets more than usual, they just have another arena to make money in now.
That just means they’re not literally irreplaceable, not that they’re fungible. The pool of people who could do the job, even with training, is a tiny fraction of the overall population.
How much help did you get from GPT-4?
Also the Hawaiians never got any kind of tribal status relative to the United States, so they have no autonomous institutions.

Hawaiians in the ethnic sense. I believe in Hawaii itself it's customary to only call someone Hawaiian if they have that ethnic background.
Unbelievable how persistent redacted were over the years.
> the new world just didn't have any domesticable animals except llamas

Turkeys, llamas, ducks, mink, ostrich, etc..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domesticated_animals

Anyway it sounds like you're referring to Francis Galton's old take on the topic which doesn't really hold up in many ways https://galton.org/essays/1860-1869/galton-1865-domesticatio...

You haven't convinced me that there were no domesticable animals in the new world, or that that was the major factor.

It also doesn't explain why new world people already had a need penicillin formulations (earlier comment).

But if you are right, it sounds like the trade-offs that come with domestication may not be worth it except as accidental biological warfare. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15539148/

Also, the rats that carried the black plague were not domesticable. Don't you think open sewers in the streets contributed to disease a bit..
It's still
more complicated than that, as ultimately a non trivial number of people end up making more from investments than labor, just from savings and time. Basically every 45 year old developer in the US that tried to save at all is a capitalist in your book.

If capital gains hand someone 300k a year, they aren't quite workers, but they aren't playing the same game as someone who is still playing the accumulation game. It's the best trick the late 20th century played: Defined contribution workers are all also capitalists, just like everyone relying on an ever more valuable house.
I thought when the Nintendo Wii came out, it had the right idea with all those sports (boxing, tennis etc) games (needed that motion controller)

I remember sweating, so I guess it was good. Anything like that anymore?
Assuming continued forward progress, this feeling is true of each generation. But when I get nostalgia about all the progress the world made since my early childhood in the 80s...I think about my great grandfather who was 8-ish when the Wright Brothers made their first flight, 40s when the atomic bomb was developed, 73 when the first man walked on the moon, and then lived another 20 years!
That's not a good excuse - that would be an option, not the main UI, and if it weren't the default, than the dev could've realized that that space could be used in a much better way
I'm not sure it was as common as with Django, but it was a very common one, especially as Heroku only provided Postgres support.
Hopefully trained and running on zero emissions energy itself ?
What's the situation where minor version upgrades are giving you trouble?

Asking because it's not supposed to be troublesome. In theory (!), minor version upgrades don't require any change to the on-disk data, so you should be able to just upgrade your PG binaries then restart the database.
It is maybe a shame that the "sequel" was lost. Rare built a Conker's Bad Fur Day section in Project Spark. It was delightfully weird and while not as good as the proper game, far better than most of what existed in Project Spark. It also let would be level designers try their own hand at writing Conker into their own weird platformers and try their hand at their own ridiculous parodies in the Conker style. (It wasn't quite Conker's take on "Super Mario Maker", but it had wild potential.)

It was a strange more-adult-oriented IP crossover for a game "creation" tool that seemed most trying to woo the younger-leaning Minecraft and Roblox audiences. Project Spark was an incredible oddity and its shutdown an interesting footnote in part because of that weird crossover.
My bad! I set it up just with the IPv6 address and it worked on desktop but not mobile, somehow. Adding the IPv4 address made it work everywhere.
I think presenting Plunder as a "scheme lisp machine, with persisted application state" would be great for branding on HN :)

Now that I’m on the other side I’ll say this: hiring is hard, you get super busy so it’s even harder. This kind of story is definitely a lose-lose situation and candidates should obviously not go through with difficult companies. Companies should be naturally incentivized by the market to improve their hiring process to both remove friction and measure for the right metrics.
That's a bit of a non-sequitur and not entirely correct because those splinter sects sorted out their major differences in literal wars hundreds of years ago, which makes their modern disputes more superficial than meaningful.

It's not really a case of fanatism but favoritism. My point about Bavaria was more that this rules out the justification that they likely didn't think of the Christian holidays as being related to the Christian religion the same way Hanukkah is to the Jewish religion: Bavaria doesn't exactly have a record of being overly secular, quite the opposite.
The Lionhead legacy goes even deeper, as I remember the lead up and hype for their first game Black and White. You'd have a creature that you didn't control but rather you "taught it" what you wanted it to do. I can't remember if the words neural net were mentioned in some of pieces I read in PC Gamer, but I feel like it might have been. It was going to be a revolution in game AI because it wasn't just a bunch of if-statements or state machines. And who was the hotshot young programmer behind this wizardry? A young Cambridge graduate named Demis Hassabis, who'd previous done level design and other work for Bullfrog as a teenage before attending university!

Of course on the meagre PCs of the day this revolutionary AI didn't quite pan out and you couldn't ever really get your creature to do what you want. And what became of our young AI programmer? Well after a few more years in the game industry he went back to school and continued his pursuit of AI and neural nets and founded a little company that you might have heard of, Deep Mind, aka Google's AI division creating things like AlphaGo and generally kicking off the machine learning revolution we currently find ourselves in.

And to think, you could have had a preview of all of this, like I did, back in 2001 on a janky underpowered PC, cursing at my neural net powered ape creature as I tried to get it to stop crushing my village.
That's absolutely horrifying. Incredible footage, I assume that whoever is in the vehicle made it out otherwise this wouldn't be posted.
That makes sense and is much closer to how I understood things. Parent comment made it sound to me like there is a whole subsystem dedicated to plane DRM.
The website is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the source code.
I took a look at this source code and could not find where you batch-processed the midjourney API calls. I am interested to learn whether you generated the midjourney images by hands or by scripts.
Weird story.

I'm a decent card player and have an interest in systems. I always want to know how something interesting works. I ended up making friends with a guy who was an expert advantage player, someone who knew how to flip the odds at casinos in his favor. Never did anything illegal, but plenty of things the casinos wouldn't like you doing if they knew you were doing it, and they're watching.

To keep our profile low we'd travel to different places. It looks bad to win too much too many times. Casinos notice.

Between travel and off times we'd end up talking a lot about a lot of things. He was always diving into odd subjects. One of them was Flat Earth. At first it was just curiosity about a peculiar subculture. We'd discuss how stupid it was, but we'd also note where they made points we couldn't deny.

I won't say I've swallowed the whole pancake but I've taken a few bites. I'm not going to get into it here and this is an alt account because it's a topic that generates a lot of hostility from some.

But I have made a lot of friends in the FE community. They're the new people I tend to relate to the best without a known shared background. It's not the FE that's attractive, it's that they're people who put very little value on social conformity and thus can be honest in a way that "fit ins" can't.

I don't wear FE tee shirts or proselytize. It's just a thing I keep to myself and don't trouble anyone with.

JADP.
The issue here is customs. Who is going to pay those fees - the women who got the product doesn't even want it. I suspect this is a never happened before situation and so the women legally owes. Though she can probably spend a ton of money on a lawyer and get out of it. She also has a case against whoever put her name/address in as where to return - but that is probably a foreigner so it is easy to win the case but impossible to collect. She may also have a case against Amazon, but this will be difficult as it requires arguing Amazon isn't a third party which they will claim they are.

Of course the case is in Canada, so I don't know how their laws work.
I run Postgres since about 2016. I used to run MySQL behind the same frontend app.

I barely know anything about Postgres beyond installation for our use case, backup and recover. I used to know loads about obscure MySQL optimization techniques, fixing broken tables, fiddling with scary parameters and recovering from hair raising situations.

I like my current state of ignorance.
Second this, I'd say started being common for Web apps in 2008 and "industry standard" by 2012 in the SF Bay Area.
My wife with Long Covid has sudden rises up to 150 while resting. Before that she had a rather low rate and she was totally healthy.

I wouldn’t rule out that a lot of people around might have some of the Long Covid symptoms like the heart issues without the severity of my wife, so they are not really sick but still suffer related problems
This is basically nonsense: the U.S. is consolidating around the NACS (Tesla) plug, and it seems only Tesla is shipping NACS cars right now. Other car companies are trying to charge the same amount as Tesla for cars that are going to be plug orphans, and they are not succeeding.

With a ten kilometer Chicxulub class asteroid, blowing it into rubble is not on the table anyway, even with rather large hydrogen bombs. We can only hope to deflect them.
