What’s funny is that in most positions the hard work has nothing to do with any of that. It’s communication, empathy, navigating people-problems and organizational dysfunction, and working with/around awful systems that you can’t change, while limiting their blast-radius to protect the business (and your own sanity).

You can always just google how to invert a binary tree or whatever and get a solid answer in no time. Which means it’s easy shit. Unless you’re one of a few devs doing PhD level work in the industry, that CS-heavy “mathy” stuff’s not the hardest thing you’re dealing with, and being good at that indicates almost nothing about your ability to deal with the hard problems you will encounter on the job.

(or else you’re greenfielding at a startup and are doing everything on easy-mode anyway, aside from problems you create for yourself on purpose or by accident)
Ask HN: What does your self hosted stack look like?
I'm curious to hear what others have found useful. Whether it's your OS, the services you are hosting, or even general tips on things like buying hardware on a budget or how you implemented a cheap/free DDNS, I (and probably the rest of HN) would love to see what's popular among self hosters.

As energy prices continue to rise among all the other social and economic woes those motivated will continue to tinker. I am aware of many concepts in research occurring currently around mechanical advantage energy storage and here is yet another. I make no assertions as to the validity but just thought to share here as others in comments for the last several years have expressed interest in "kinetic" solutions. Everyone alive needs air, water, and energy every single day and those paying attention will soon begin to see the need to put the verb "clean" in front of each of those terms for anyone to survive. We all can likely agree however that the can will continue to be kicked down the road since everyone enjoys the beach but very few comprehend the trillions of individual grains of sand that make up that very thing we all enjoy.
Which will never happen as they are the “stick” the owning class uses to keep us workers in line. Only a general strike will create real change, but capitalism is designed to keep us tired and scared if losing the little we have.

Of course it's a promotional thing, it's named after a company.

Think of it this way: Mullvad is sponsoring Tor at >=$100,000/year, and in exchange the Tor Browser developers made a slight fork of their codebase that sets a couple of environment variables and changes the branding. Now the fact that it's just a couple of environment variables sounds like a good thing, right?

My experience with hyper-threading has always been lousy performance, in highly concurrent code, when comparing against proper cores anyway.

The cores get thrashed all the time due to shared resources.
Yup. This quote jumped out at me:

>>“Furthermore the bots’ solving times are significantly lower in all cases, except reCAPTCHA, where human solving time of 18 seconds is nearly similar to the bots’ time of 17.5 seconds.”

This is currently an obvious tell for the standard CAPTCHAs, as you mentioned,

Blood has a shelf life of a couple weeks, it’s probably easier to make these anti aging factors synthetically.
I got a cheap used original PS4 and it wouldn't power up unless you put pressure on the mainboard, right around the PSU.

I took pieces of wood, and a clamp and applied pressure there and it worked.

The same pressure is applied if you use washers on the heatsink clamp - I did that and it's been running fine for months.

The solder joints on the GPU get brittle under the stress of heat and compressing it restores the connection. Pressure or re-flowing is really just a band-aid, the real fix is to re-ball the GPU but that gets expensive.

Sure, perhaps I shouldn't have been so figurative. The level of endemic gun violence in the United States is deeply alarming to basically all of it's other peer nations and allies. The fact that the level of gun violence is "on the decline" doesn't change the fact that there is still a shocking amount of gun violence in the United States, or the fact that an increasing number of Americans want restrictions or some form of gun control.

I think it's more than the web but the way media is being curated. I'm one of those people who's really optimistic about society. However being a positive person is actually a lot of work.

I basically have to tune out all modern movies, television, news. Every new TV show is about some dystopia or the end of the world or a Zombie apocalypse or whatever. I watch mostly old TV shows from the 50s and 60s and read science fiction. In rare cases I'll watch a new show that's actually positive. You have to be careful though, even long-running franchises can quickly turn toxic when Hollywood gets a hold of it; Star Trek was headed that way until Strange New Worlds came out.

Not the point you’re making but in a C shop, if I interview and somebody pulls out K&R in 2023, they’re not getting hired.

I get the wider point you’re making, and yes, a chat can help. Elsewhere in a reply to this I talk about how I personally like to do that, but the problem is, a significant number of people can talk about coding but can’t actually code.

I once interviewed somebody who had passed 3 previous calls. Asked them to implement fizzbuzz. Couldn’t.

That is a real problem. It’s not myth.

As such, I’m not hiring somebody without seen them writing code the same way I wouldn’t hire a designer without seeing their actual personal portfolio.
Is there? I think you are giving too much credit to human creativity. Falling prey to the 'human exceptionalism' argument, or to the 'mysterious'. It just assumes humans are unique, or ineffable, it doesn't provide any of the 'how' it is done.

Ask GPT something like "write a screen play for Othello using dialog like Tarantino, but with bit of style like Baz Luhrmann". It produces something pretty creative. And if you say, well it is just combining what came before, that also applies to humans, there are no new ideas.

Humans being complicated doesn't mean AI wont catch up. Its just time/money/engineering at this point.

I once had an old IBM-PC that the previous owner had upgraded with a 20MB hard drive. They said after a while it just stopped booting, which is why they gave it to me.

I found that if I manipulated the axle of the read-write-head arm where it came out through the bottom of the drive, it would "unstick" the head from the surface of the disk, and the thing would boot! I imagine there was some kind of lubricant in there that would congeal when the machine was off for a certain amount of time.

So I left the drive slot cover off, and "fingering" the drive would get it to start reliably for a number of years after that.
> I do take issue with your idea to "put others' interests ahead of their own."

I don't believe that putting "others first at the expense of yourself, and then silently expect[ing] other people to somehow take care of your interests for you" is actually "put[ting] others' interests ahead of [your] own". That's still self interest, it just utilizes the Covert Contracts you mentioned.

I think good leadership is self sacrifice. Being able to adjust or set aside your expectations without resentment will not help you win a war or run a country, but it will help your marriage, friendships, and children. Once I learned to adjust my expectations for people, I let go of a lot of bitterness and I was able to focus energy elsewhere. This is more of a personal outlook for me--I'm not arguing with you, I just wanted to clarify my position.

I'm not asserting a gray area. People have rights.

Governments, as a condition of granting the privileges asscoiated with the corporate form, could specifically apply limits to its use (and should do so much more than they do, generally), but to the extent they haven't, people who control corporations don’t lose rights merely because they are acting through them.

Corporations don't have rights, because corporations don't actually exist. Corporations are treated as having rights, because they are simply vehicles for actions by natural persons, who have rights.

The dynamics set up if such research pans out seem really similar to existing shitty dynamics in our society regarding women. Attractive young woman who are interested in adult entertainment have the opportunity to make a lot of money between 18 - 30. Then that certain career path quickly evaporates.

Guys could feel jealous missing out on that opportunity but how much it feel to have the most lucrative years of your life be when you're young? What does it say about society that it financially values you the most when you have the least actual power in your life?

Very similar to donating young blood, it's not likely donating blood will lead to the career of managing blood donation. You're useful then you can't own the club you're stripping at or the donation center. It's just you're used then "cool you're old now hope you saved enough for a coding boot camp".

Some research just seems like it could solely increase existing power imbalances.

The sweet spot for electrolysers will, instead, be cheapest possible inefficient units, because the power to drive them will have "marginal cost zero", i.e. be free, coming from production in massively over-provisioned solar farms in excess of immediate demand. Capital cost dominates because of intermittent utilization.
Other people's blood is one of the worst things you can inject into your blood stream, it contains so many unknowns. It blows my mind that rich people take that kind of risk.

If you need a transfusion, the risk doesn't matter, but to willingly do it is really foolish.
If you've got a 10 KM tunnel bored into the earth you could just build a geothermal power plant and not need the nuclear aspect at all.
Is the creepy lable being attached to this idea because transfusion services are only currently used by people with higher income/assets? Would this still be creepy if poorer people had access to it, or would we call it a human right? I don't think it's necessarily wrong to receive a cosmetic(?) blood transfusion if the parties involved agree to it, I don't think it's any less creepy than cosmetic surgery.

Edit to say: if there's any efficacy in blood transfusions being useful for neurophysiological benefits, then this procedure should be available for medicinal purposes like enemas I think it's more efficient (and economical for a business) to use synthetic blood, though.

Eh, well I'd like to agree, I know more than a few people that had harder internship interviews compared to their fulltime ones.

Luck is definitely a factor in interviews. You can never be fully prepared even if you 100% match the posted job requirements, so you better hope your interview relates to stuff you are prepared for....

This is, of course, just anecdote, but one of them was a good friend who failed their internship interview and passed a fulltime interview just 6 months later, both at Google... so there wasn't that much of a skill difference in-between.

This is exactly why I support "engineer" being a protected term, like Doctor. It should tell you that a certain level of training and qualification has been met, to the point that the engineer is responsible and accountable for the work they do and sign off on. Especially for things that affect safety.

Many software engineers these days are often flying by the seat of their pants, moving quickly and breaking things. Thankfully this seems to largely be in places that aren't going to affect life or limb, but I'm still rubbed the wrong way seeing people (including myself mind you) building run of the mill CRUD apps under the title of engineer.

Is it a big deal? Not really. It's probably even technically correct to use the term this way. But I do think it dilutes it a bit. For context, I'm in Canada where engineer is technically a protected term, and there are governing bodies that qualify and designate professional engineers.
