Android is a great NEGATIVE example of the Unix philosophy! The code is based on the Linux kernel, which might make you think it's Unix, but isn't Unix [1]

An OS is where 3 things meet: code, data, and people.

AKA apps, files, and users.

AKA CPU, storage, and networking when viewed from hardware (in the old days, you'd have terminals and serial ports, not Internet)

I'd argue that (if you take away the historical "hairs"), Unix is a minimal and efficient implementation of those ideas.

It's efficient enough to build heterogeneous "platforms" on top -- Lisp, JVM, JavaScript, Python, etc. Databases, hardware virtual machines, the entire modern cloud

The shebang line is basically "polymorphism" for those runtimes -- everything looks like ./foo arg1 arg2

The args are often unstructured files that you share between different programs

--

Android breaks from that design in many, many ways

- Applications are written to the Java runtime, not to the OS

- They written in Java or Kotlin. Escaping to C++ is a "special" thing, you use the "NDK" for that

- It doesn't expose raw files to applications, or at least it seems apps can't really share files. It uses its own security model, not Unix security (which was almost certainly necessary!)

Hm I clicked on the original link, and Rob Pike said it better: The very idea of a "Files app" is high on my list of world-defeating idiocies perpetrated by technology.

- It doesn't use Unix IPC, it has its own "binder" mechanism between apps. Although most modern Unixes don't find it enough either - https://roxanageambasu.github.io/publications/eurosys2016pos...

So Android is more like a "monoglot" operating system on top of Unix. It's just using Linux as a bunch of device drivers basically

(Makes me think of the quote from the 90's regarding browser/JVM: "Windows should just be a bunch of poorly debugged device drivers", and that rhymes a bit with how Android turned out.)

---

I think the cloud is missing the "Unix" layer, i.e. a good factoring of mechanism and policy, C and shell, which you can build other platforms on top of.

I'll refer to my own post: Kubernetes is our generation's Multics

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27903720

The cloud is kind of an incoherent architectural mess -- it doesn't really have the code / data / users model.

It basically has the incoherent "Files app" architecture, as Pike says

What's code in the cloud? How do I invoke it? What are files? What are users? There's a million answers, and it causes a lot of work for us programmers.

Most app code seems to be papering over the differences between different representations of these fundamental things, which ultimately makes them slow and unreliable

[1] Incidentally, Android is also not GNU/Linux -- it's the Linux kernel, without GNU at the platform layer
I've started to have neck and upper back pain on my right side likely due to the overstretched position of my right hand on the mouse. I been trying to let my left hand control the mouse for a couple of days to give some rest to the right side and was looking for some studies done on training the non-dominant hand. I found this article, would also love to know if others have done this or know of literature around it.

As my hair grays I have reached the determination that for-profit advertising itself is systematically unethical. Maybe it was ethical many, many decades ago; here today any moral values it once had are long gone.

To that end any mechanism that reduces the presence and effect of advertising is a moral imperative.

And this is probably why Meta is instituting this policy.

They are changing the default back to what it was (working in office which they can easily defend was the expectation when most employees outside of remote workers were hired), so instead of an employee being able to negotiate a benefit in return for coming to the office, the employee needs to give up benefits in a negotiation to work remotely.

As an example, riding public transit from Marina Green to Beach Chalet takes 1 hour in Muni: https://goo.gl/maps/8mPmP8ZsC61c2CL5A and involves a change of buses. Is it worth it to spend $20 and do it in 1/3 the time in a clean and safe setting? To many, yes.
It is deliciously ironic that the people most against nuclear power in the 1970s and 1980s are the reason we have a "climate crisis" today.
I wonder too. Some things are really non-intuitive.

I really enjoyed "The Rational Optimist" where it explains things like trade, which tends to make everyone wealthy, while generally the people trading think they are both getting the better end of the deal.
I believe Rancher desktop has more of an out-of-the-box focus on Kubernetes, it uses Rancher's k3s and whatnot. Podman desktop treats k8s as more of an optional thing, e.g. you use Kind to create a cluster.

Of course there are also organizational differences, Podman seems to be more of a community led open-source project whereas Rancher is ultimately trying to sell enterprise kubernetes management software.

In my experience, k3s looks great on the surface but I ran into quite a few issues operating it in a single-node use case.

If I was looking into this today, I'd definitely explore Podman/Kind instead.

> It stands to reason that Steam on Mac is bad in comparison because of Apple.

How? It’s software like any other. There’s TONS of great software on the Mac made by 3rd parties. It can be nice. It can run fast. MS does it. Adobe does it. Indie developers do it. So why is it Apple’s fault?

The story tends that gets passed around is that no one at Valve (more or less) works in it.

I’m not talking about the games Steam sells. I’m talking about the Steam client.

If they rewrote it in Electron (instead of whatever custom thing it uses) they could do a terrible job and it would still be faster.

I’m not even asking for it to be “Mac like”, just act like showing a store page isn’t a Herculean effort.
What a dream that would be for myself as well. Electric too so I can charge it up at night and then essentially get free travel during the day even if it only 100-300 miles a day.
Idempotency (as I understand it, what maths people might call an 'idempotent function') is a very core idea in distributed systems - networks are unreliable, stuff may get lost, or you might not get an acknowledgment back, so the ability to send the same thing 1 0r a million times and end up with the same state is useful.

Or have I completely missed the point of your question..?

I used to live in Germany (dad was a military contractor).

We had a computer with dialup but it was insanely expensive to use there at the time and only my parents could use it.

Well one day they left me home alone and I got curious so I connected and stayed online for probably 8-9 hours before they got home. It was a blast. I too was also hooked immediately.

I sure got a shock when my parents came into my room a month later to ask if I had been on the computer without them because we had a huge bill haha.

Here is a quick summary of the results by chatgpt:

The study involving 7,097 children examined the relationship between the amount of screen time exposure and developmental outcomes in children at the ages of 2 and 4 years. Here's a breakdown of the key findings:

# Demographics of the Study Participants:

There were 7,097 children in the study. 3,674 (51.8%) were boys and 3,423 (48.2%) were girls.

# Screen Time Exposure:

The study looked at the amount of screen time exposure per day for the children.

* 4,340 children (48.5%) had less than 1 hour of screen time per day.

* 2,095 children (29.5%) had 1 to less than 2 hours of screen time per day.

* 1,272 children (17.9%) had 2 to less than 4 hours of screen time per day.

* 290 children (4.1%) had 4 or more hours of screen time per day.

# Developmental Outcomes at Age 2:

The study found that children's screen time was associated with a higher risk of developmental delay in various domains at the age of 2 years.

* Communication: The odds of developmental delay increased as screen time increased. For example, compared to children with less than 1 hour of screen time, children with 1 to less than 2 hours had an odds ratio of 1.61 for developmental delay.

* Fine Motor: Children with 4 or more hours of screen time had an odds ratio of 1.74 for developmental delay compared to those with less than 1 hour.

* Problem-Solving: Similar trends were observed; longer screen time was associated with higher odds of developmental delay.

* Personal and Social Skills: Children with 4 or more hours of screen time had an odds ratio of 2.10 for developmental delay.

Developmental Outcomes at Age 4:

The study also looked at developmental outcomes at age 4.

* Communication: Children with 2 to less than 4 hours of screen time had an odds ratio of 1.64 for developmental delay compared to those with less than 1 hour. Children with 4 or more hours had an odds ratio of 2.68.

* Problem-Solving: Children with 4 or more hours of screen time had an odds ratio of 1.91 for developmental delay.

In summary, the study suggests that increased screen time in children is associated with a higher risk of developmental delays in various domains such as communication, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and personal and social skills. These findings indicate a potential link between excessive screen time and developmental outcomes in young children.
This is exactly the mechanism by which the benchmark rate should lower real estate prices, it just takes time for transactions to occur (setting comps which contributes to price declines, as recent comps are used for appraisals). Those who must sell will sell first, dragging future sales price action with them. Very high cost of living real estate is especially impacted by interest rates due to the amount borrowed exposed to current mortgage interest rates. $800k borrowed (assuming $200k down on a $1M property) at 3% is half the cost monthly (principal and interest) vs 8%.

More supply would be helpful, but we’re decades behind building housing so a lot more hope in interest rates driving down prices.

Also, since I can’t edit my other reply, the Mac is not a walled garden.

You can use any tool to make apps and sell them online without having to get them approved in the Mac App Store (which almost no one buys from).
It’s only useful once you understand how algorithmic complexity works, and how to profile your code, and how you language runtime does things. Before that your CPU cache is largely opaque and trying to peer into it is probably counterproductive.
> We are only missing faster local development.

Developer time is probably your most expensive resource. Saving $8/mo at the cost of dev time seems… suboptimal.
I'm still so sad that John Kerry had the Integral Fast Reactor funding killed. On-site electro-processing avoided all the scary things about reprocessing being enrichment (and often being off-site). Very fail-safe design. We'd already done prototyping with Experimental Breeder Reactor II. Huge loss to not have the government doing this pioneering. They more than anyone have to be leading the charge; the commercial space is aligned to such a more limited perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

A variety of derivative designs have kicked around & a bunch seemed like they were going to get built.

I think it goes without saying that the remote observer likely sits at something resembling a trading desk with a wall of LCD panels, monitoring heaps of vehicles like a glorified security guard.

It'd be interesting to know what the permissible overcommit ratio is though, if there even is a limit codified by the state/city somewhere.
I understand the mathematics. The problem is that there is a practical asymmetry of information. Large future traders can invest a lot of resources into getting a much better prediction of future prices, while individual farmers cannot. In such scenarios, it is inevitable that farmers will be exploited by future traders into making bad deals.
In the supermarket analogy, it's more like saying you forgot your shoppers card and having the checkout person scan one for you, or using 867-5309 as your phone number. And no, it's still not unethical. The unethical actor here is Kroger buying every major grocery chain, and adding 20% to your bill if you don't agree to be tracked. Normal humans in the loop, employees included, will happily support you undermining their system.
None of that explains why the Steam client on Mac is so terrible and has been for a very long time.

Games have their own issues (you mentioned some). But the client is inexcusable.

Not very intutive. Still wondering how to uncolour
This subject is near and dear to me, but after clicking around for a few minutes I was left none-the-wiser about what it actually is. Is it a client? A server? A protocol? Your home page encourages the user to play what looks like a child's game, and your links to "specification" don't actually pull up a specification.

I say this, truly, as constructive criticism: I am probably in your core audience and I bounced off the site.

I'm sceptical of those SNPs linked with baldness etc. SNPs don't cause phenotypes, they're associated with them.

The guy has been dead for ~5000 years, but they're looking at SNPs linked with these phenotypes today; surely over 5000 years not all of those associations remain.
You mean the disaster that killed between 0 (from radiation) and 2000 (from the evacuation) people? Compared do the literal millions that die every year from fossil fuel pollution?

It would take about 10x the amount of nuclear power plants that we currently have for global energy to be totally nuclear. If we therefore 10x every single nuclear reactor disaster from the past 70 years (~ how long since the first production plant came on line in the USSR), global deaths would be between between 80,000 and 40,000,000 (using the implausibly high Greenpeace estimate of Chernobyl associated deaths).

I think that all of those estimates are implausibly high, but even if we just take the 40,000,000 number, the most ridiculously, obviously wrong number, the estimated deaths every year from fossil fuel pollution (not climate change...direct particulate matter air pollution) is between 2 and 8 million every year. So go ahead, tell me again how we can't afford to relax safety standards on nuclear power.

It's a very common Markdown extension supported by PHP-Markdown-Extra, Goldmark, Pandoc, Kramdown, and dozens of others. Several of these have supported it for almost ten years now, with the same syntax.

PHP-Markdown-Extra is the closest thing to a standard with more than GitHub-Flavored-Markdown; several other Markdown engines use its featureset as a baseline for compatibility for anything not present in GFM, even blocking the shipping of new features until after PME agrees on a syntax. So you can think of CommonMark as the lowest common denominator, GFM for an intermediate version, and PHP-Markdown-Extra as something suitable for building more advanced websites.
That's really odd, because I remember asking someone who had interviewed a lot and she said that kind of question is almost worthless. Everyone is where they want to be, so of course they like working there. They have also achieved their position, so they think it is a great place to work.

The question comes from a self-selecting population.
What's a good way to manage music where there's not a simple/tidy name for the performer? Are there tools that are good enough at handling metadata, that the structure of the audio files on disk doesn't matter so much?

Before, I've organised things like `~/Music/Artist Name/Some Album/A Song.mp3`, and just used the media player of the day. But, that doesn't work great to find stuff by a particular musician when they tend to get together with different sets of other musicians to record one or two songs in any particular arrangement.
I'm not so sure. The big issue with Hydrogen is transport, it's an absolute pain to deliver it to fuel stations all over the country.

With planes though, you only need to deliver it to an airport. Airports are also very frequently placed next to large bodies of water, so with enough electricity you could make it on site.

I'm willing to bet that Hydrogen will never take off for cars, but I think it could have a place for planes and ships, and even trucks in some situations.

Theoretically the regulation was known at bidding time and factored in. Or they didn't understand them and were caught by surprise. Or perhaps they did understand and lied by underbidding?

I was anti-nuke when I was younger but recognize we fucked up terribly by not getting nuclear right and have now cooked the planet.

The appealing solution (to me) is to get SMRs into play with their associated promises of cost control and safety. My understanding is the blocker is really the existing insiders of the nuclear industry who see it as a threat to their work.

Ah, algebra. Perhaps, geometry?

The right thing to do is hire one or more people who have deep knowledge with the problems you are slogging in. Pay them what they are worth.

Otherwise, what's left is to higher outside consultants to solve your problem that is so pressing that you are hiring outside consultants to solve it. Fire them and hire new consultants if they don't perform.

And if you get very lucky, three lefts will make a right!
