Yeah this is a documentation footgun for some¹ users, and unfortunately is more likely to hit new users and dabblers than the experienced or dedicated Nix users who can just step over it. It sucks.

It's true that the information in that section² of the manual is correct, and also true that those snippets are not instructions, so the manual is not instructing anyone to do a thing that will break their computer... but if some Nix profile is the only thing putting Nix on your PATH and you switch away from that profile, you will naturally no longer have Nix on your PATH, and the next Nix command you try to run will fail. The docs should warn you about that in this section, and the application should also warn you on any actions that might leave your PATH Nixless like this.

There's another problem here, I think only hinted at in that GitHub issue, in that if you switch to an empty or nonexistent profile and start a new shell, the `/bin` path in your profile won't be added to your shell's PATH on shell startup because it doesn't exist. And then when you do install something to that profile, it won't be on your PATH until you start a new shell.

The issue you filed should be reopened as a documentation bug, and a new issue should be created about warning users on operations that might render their PATHs Nixless.

If anyone does hit this or something similar: you can just run nix-env or any other Nix binaries directly from the Nix store, or from one of the other still-existing profile links under /nix/var/nix/profiles, e.g. /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/bin/nix-env, to switch your profile back.

--

1: Namely, Nix users whose Nix binaries are provided in a per-user profile and are running Nix as the relevant users. NixOS users, Nix-Darwin users, System Manager users, users of regular old multi-user Nix installs, and users who install Nix itself via their distro's package manager aren't affected.

Well, your AChatGPT connection might be private but your Windows machine will leak like a sieve. It is embarrassing how needy the blasted things are about signing in via Azure/Microsoft, instead of a local or AD account. Even worse is the naff "choose how insidious you would like us to be" series of questions. How would you like your ads? Targeted or non targeted? How about not at all? Nope.

In this day and age, exactly how private does anyone expect their comms/thoughts/files/data to be? I recall reading a recent MS EULA and it seems I have to say three Hail Marys every third Tuesday for using Arch Linux on my PCs. I could install Edge, and did but I don't like the nasty homepage - a bit right wing ... - why on earth is a browser pushing "news"? Its a browser. To be fair I had to dump all the homepage crap that Firefox pushed when I finally dumped anything to do with Chrome.

Please don't use the words private and secure when you have your fingers crossed behind your back.
I'm a security professional for a living (obviously not a great one) and I recently lost my phone without a recent 2fa backup. It was a nightmare.

Does it support any ACID guarantees? Query planning/optimization?

I’m not asking this to imply that it can/should. I just want to know what all was attempted besides b-trees and SQL.

I’d like to do something like this someday. Nice work!
Does AfD want to "destroy" German democracy? I really don't see any attempt to substantiate this claim, beyond nebulous statements like "... they warned in an analysis that the party is actively and methodically trying 'to implement its racist and Right-wing extremist goals'". What are these extremist goals? Presumably less immigration, but that's hardly destroying democracy.

As the article explains, implementing such a ban would put the existing German political establishment in a group comprised of many unsavory folks:

> Germany has a troubled history of parties being banned, with Otto von Bismarck, the country’s first chancellor, banning the Social Democrats for disloyalty to the Kaiser.

> When the Nazis came to power, they banned all other parties.

> The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) also banned other parties not affiliated with the ruling Socialist Unity Party.

Maybe actually try and address the concerns AfD supporters have, instead of simply trying to ban the party. The 20% of AfD supporters are still going to vote and will probably become even more radicalized as this ban would substantiate the claims that Germany does not want to fairly address their concerns.
Expanse stands above for being realistic, in my mind. What about it did you dislike? The ships were well designed as far as space crawlers go, with central ladders instead of hallways, accurate acceleration effects, correct orbital mechanics, correct portrayal of vacuum and sound. I could go on. It was hard scifi.

Show HN: I made a search engine for emails and newsletters
Hey, I'm Kevin,

I spent a few years in marketing (5+) and switched to software dev.

I spent a lot of time convincing brands to email more frequently and send coupons to fight the "our brand doesn't email" syndrome I saw.

So I built Email Honeypot for marketers and brand owners to see all the emails brands are sending out.

For instance, you can see a popular DTC brand like Casper emails almost once a day!

Would love to hear what you think about it.

The Deskjet 500 was a tank. Built to industrial standards, like all HP gear of the time.

Later, their printers became flimsy, driven by marketing whims not engineering. I gave up on them when I looked at the small mountain of dried ink that was inside from the constant cleaning cycles, and realized that it represented more money than I had spent on the entire printer.
The current state of printers is sad. Everything wrong with tech is enclosed within them.

1. You get DRM inc, which increases the cost even you buy the "required toners" [^1]

My father had a rheumatic fever in his teens. This triggered calcification of his aortic valve that eventually led to aortic stenosis. It was diagnosed two weeks before my wedding, in a different country. My parents missed the wedding but my father's done very well after the emergency valve replacement. Pay attention to small signals, and get checked out regularly. He was running risks that weren't necessary!
For the part that most people care about (which is the userspace side, that comes from the Mesa Project) you can freely update it to whatever is the latest version without really having to care about the kernel side. The only point at which the kernel side of the GPU equation actually matters for Mesa is when new HW comes out.

>>you can install the latest GPU driver on Windows 10 just fine, and it is the same driver as the one on 11

MS is certainly well known for breaking Windows drivers across major releases. The only reason that Win10 and 11 driver is the same is because Win10 and 11 are more or less the same thing.

"Black Hat" is the professional computer security conference that preceeds Defcon. Defcon was the grungy hobbiest doing crazy shit with computers. Black hat was corporate sponsored presentations, stuffy suits, and business cards. At Black Hat you had a real name. At Defcon you had a handle. Black Hat attendees were looked at as sellouts.

Now Defcon is the same way. They even take pre-payment and I'm old enough to remember when DT would've NEVER even floated that idea. I went for 20 years. I quit going after 2018. IMO it died around 2010 but kept floating for a while before sinking.

Maybe. It could mean a number of things. It could be some creative squatting, moving to a low cost of living nation, or outright stealing. Having nothing to lose opens a lot of possibilities.

Agree. Suggestions?
How is it not correct? Have you read the original statements by Netscape and Mozilla?

Fortunately, they are very easy to read if you haven't done so yet, thanks to Archive.org.

1. Here is the first statement by Netscape, clearly showing Mozilla's original intent to help develop Netscape's client: (https://web.archive.org/web/20021004080737/http://wp.netscap...
)

> NETSCAPE ANNOUNCES MOZILLA.ORG, A DEDICATED TEAM AND WEB SITE SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT OF FREE CLIENT SOURCE CODE

> Netscape Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:NSCP) today announced the creation of mozilla.org, a dedicated team within Netscape with an associated Web site that will promote, foster and guide open dialog and development of Netscape's client source code.

2. Here is the second statement by the newly formed entity, clearly showing its goal to "lead open-source browser efforts": (https://blog.mozilla.org/press/2003/07/mozilla-org-announces...)

> Mozilla.org announces launch of the Mozilla Foundation to lead open-source browser efforts

There's even a side paragraph "About mozilla.org and the Mozilla Foundation" that states the following mission statement:

> Mozilla.org (www.mozilla.org) is the group that exists to make Mozilla a successful open source project. Mozilla.org provides open source Internet client software that includes a browser, mail and news functionality, and a toolkit for developing web-based applications. Mozilla.org was founded by Netscape Communications Corporation.
The article is referring to enterprise usage - and you're quoting all the consumer level attributes (aka cheap/sometimes subsidized version).

At the enterprise level where this is intended to be ran, things are much diffrerent.

If you're not aware of the differences or use cases, perhaps you're not the target audience who should be using or configuring it.
It’s an existing, standard, language for describing grammars. Quite clearly the trade-off being made here. Seemingly not the one you would’ve made. Don’t act like it’s objectively bad.

Some companies are weird about using a co-working address and want a really small office footprint. Enough for a meeting room, a few offices, and a mailbox so when some banker or other business shows up you can put on a dog and pony show in a formal office with your name on the wall.

> Llama 2 might by some measures be close to GPT 3.5, but it’s nowhere near GPT 4

I think you're right about this, and benchmarks we've run at Anyscale support this conclusion [1].

The caveat there (which I think will be a big boon for open models) is that techniques like fine-tuning makes a HUGE difference and can bridge the quality gap between Llama-2 and GPT-4 for many (but not all) problems.

You can't seem to grapple with the reality that 839€ for a phone is completely insane, and not everybody is a rich spoiled person like you.

Too bad that being rich and spoiled didn't enrich your brain uh?

I hope it's ok for you that unlike you, I knew what I was talking about.
Sure, but that's the strawmanning I'm talking about. Citing tweets from people trying to be edgy with Marxism and pointing out their intellectual laziness isn't actually addressing the legitimate complaints about late stage capitalism.

To me, the root causes of the housing crisis are zoning and the endless supply of newly created money from the Federal Reserve. Both of these policies are direct results of those who own housing (aka capital owners) politically insisting that the value of their "investments" continually go up. That's capital acting on the meta-system to optimize for capital itself. It's sensible to lay the blame for this on capitalism itself, and doing so doesn't mean I'm looking to somehow blow away the entire system in favor of some completely different -ism.

I'd personally make my own distinction of centralized capitalism versus distributed capitalism. But that's more of a constructive argument of how to specifically reform the system, while still sharing the general criticism.
> Taiwan, there is a first-class healthcare system that has national single-payer insurance for all residents (only $27/mo!!)

How?

At 27 USD/month/person, are you sure you're not failing to account for taxes and other government funding for healthcare?

Don't get me wrong. Healthcare could be better and cheaper. We could train more doctors to lower wages :)

But healthcare and care in general is a hard place to increase productivity. New treatments and drugs help, but anything advanced usually have to involve humans.
Martin Shkreli comes to mind. I think he joined a large company's advisory team even after the uproar, but before his conviction. If you have the intellectual chops and enough charisma I don't think the finance world cares that much. Probably because cheating is commonplace in finance.
Ha, and I’m the opposite in a different direction. I _hate_ positive feedback. What motivates me is failure and a fear of failure. I go out of my way to downplay accomplishments but will talk your ear off about how and why I failed or almost failed or knew about a failure condition.

Maybe the actual takeaway is to figure out what kind of feedback a child responds best to and use that most of the time. You know, paying attention to the kid.

I'll point out that banning parties who would seek to destroy democracy is part of the German constitution. Article 21. There's no irony here. What is being mooted is something deliberately introduced in the immediate aftermath of the Nazis and World War II, to prevent a reoccurrence.

(I've slightly lost the thread here, so I'm not 100% certain you're disagreeing.)
Agree, sharing is what should be restricted.

XHTML 2 did that. It only had a <h> tag that was depending on <section> to define the level. In fact your code would be exactly like xhtml2, if you replaced <h1-6> with <h>

I understand why some people might not like xhtml2, but it did have some good ideas for creating a semantic document

Right, so, I suspect this didn't get much traction, despite being posted and re-posted many times, because the cancer risk assessment was total bunk:

> For exposure assessment, EPA develops conservative exposure scenarios which are designed to provide conservative estimates of exposure; this allows EPA to have high confidence – when it finds no risks of concern – that this is in fact the case. In some instances, due to a lack of information on which to based exposure estimates, the conservative assumptions can lead to an over-estimate of risk. For one of the PMN substances in this integrated risk assessment (a jet fuel), the Agency divided the total projected future annual production volume of the new jet fuel by the total number of locations expected to receive the fuel, and then assumed each location could be an end-use location (e.g., airport) and that all the fuel would be burned there. The scenario that was modeled effectively presumed that every plane at the airport was idling on a runway burning an entire tank’s fuel without ever taking off, that the components of the fuel that contribute to c risk are not fully combusted and are present in the exhaust, and that residents living nearby (in a fenceline community) would continuously breathe the exhaust each day over many years in their lifetime.

It's unfortunate we don't have a better risk assessment.
I'd assume those are yearly income and monthly rent. So $2400-$3600 out of $5000-$6000 is quite a lot.
Nice! it is good to see past blind spots e.g. "you must write this kind of app in this kind of language, pure Python is high level it is only for glue". I wouldn't have thought to do a project like this because of all of those kinds of heuristics. And as other have said, a hackable DB in the same language as the app can have a lot of advantages.
Reminder that there is no skills shortage. There's a shortage of suckers.

eh, I don't know. Cursive is pretty rare nowadays. You also in my opinion do not really need the capital letters, and many of them look like their lowercase counterparts, but I take your point. I definitely think English can be tricky to learn, though, and feel lucky to speak it natively given that it is the lingua franca in many (perhaps most) contexts.

Except, She never said any of that.

Since the article is in line with what you said, coordination could be through commissioning a Harvard writer, or lobbying, or regulation, either way it isn't explicitly stated. I get the impression that you are arguing against a point of view that you are assuming.

This is clearly you, reading (a lot) into what she said, and then reacting to your own pre-formed perceptions of an argument you think she made.

Kind of like when people get into internal mental arguments with fictional others, and start talking to themselves. Then getting so wound up they blurt something out of context, or march on the capital.
FWIW, the Star Trek competitor series to B5 (some would say its a ripoff) is DS9.
> Your second question simply doesn't deserve a response.

Clearly it did, and quite a disrespectful one at that. I guess (and I have to guess, since you won't tell me) you think that because you can't talk to many people, and you think it is self evident that businesses should target many people.

I do not think that is self evident. I think instead of few people targeting many people, many people should target few people. You have probably heard that you can't make everyone happy. That's true. But it becomes less true the smaller the group that "everyone" is. If your target audience is a handful of people, you can make them all happy. You can even potentially individualize what you produce to meet the needs of specific individuals. You cannot do that when your target audience is a billion people.

Be nicer next time.
I use Fuz for interactively searching my note collection, across a couple hundred text files. It's extremely useful for rapidly finding code-snippets, meeting notes or specific project information. And fast, especially combined with a hotkey for iTerm 2 that pops up a terminal and lets you search within a few keypresses.

As a nice side-effect, I no longer worry about where I store text (e.g. with Obsidian), as I know I'll find it again if it's there. It helps using memorable keywords though.
hey HN, I recently published an article going deep into email previewing (in Ruby on Rails, but I think it's relevant beyond Rails).

MailCatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) and MailHog (https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) are super handy and easy to run locally. Both spin up an SMTP server which you can direct mail to, and give you a nice web interface to browse mail and preview it.

> some of the results of that can be seen in brain scans of ADHD vs regular brains, even if we don't know the exact cause of ADHD.

And others don't...https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/imaging-study-shows-dopa...

Every medicated person you ask tells you their brain just works differently from birth and doesn't produce enough dopamine so they need meds...but its not proven at all, and there is evidence its not the case.

> and only after centuries or decades or research (if we're lucky), we might pinpoint the exact mechanisms.

We might also create such a broad definition of a condition (that we just thought up), and then unnecessary put healthy people on meds and fuck up society.

Advocates always talk like there are no consequences to taking stimulants every day...but you read story after story. It just doesn't make sense, if its safe, then everyone can have it, if not, then...we just make up definitions of it and people who fit that pattern can have it?

> see if what they have is just them "struggling to focus and procrastinating often"

That's not the point. The definition of ADHD clearly defines them as struggling a lot more than the usual person.

ADHD is simply a grouping of behaviors. 126 different combinations in fact.

How does this make it a singular condition that we just throw meds at?

The whole industry just feels like an excuse to prescribe meds. Meds which help everyone.
