Yeah, I feel like it's super pretentious to think that your solution will actually last 100,000 years into the future. If you work in tech you know that 99% of the stuff you build wouldn't (or shouldn't) last another 5 years.

Most likely in the next few decades they'll figure out how to make it useful or at least not be a problem anymore.

Designing something to last 100, 200 years, alright... but 100,000? We probably won't even be here, on Earth. Waste of time.
Judging by the example of Babashka, Graal apparently does give you a "huge opaque runtime", and also there seem to be severe limitations on loading code. I think it basically has to include all the Clojure code up front, which makes it arguably NOT interactive.

RPython and PyPy are great engineering and great projects, but I think RPython has not quite "escaped" into the real of general purpose language implementation -

I think it taught a lot of valuable lessons in this space, but it's not really an answer to the stated problem.

> Shit, at least Linus took the time to actually explain his reasoning when he berated people.

laugh-crying I never said I disagreed with OP though. With all this as context he's certainly within his right to fork TF now!

(Mazel tov!)

I've also been saying, this is a blessing in disguise for Hashi because they won't have to spend the labor to maintain Terraform themselves anymore. rofl I won't be shocked if that doesn't turn out to be far from the truth, but it's going to take actual work before those would turn out to be more than just empty words.

But honestly, if I'm HashiCorp and I see the OpenTF organization spring up in response to my license change, I actually (surprise) still very much want to be the top contributor in that new forum. And it might even lend some measure of extra credibility to the whole ecosystem if it turns out that I can't actually pull that off (because the community is too strong, and overpowers me with its own contributions.)

I'm willing to admit this is probably delusionally optimistic in favor of OSS but I wouldn't cry to be proven right either.
Not Edison, but someone who asked to use his facility. I also believe this test was conducted less for shock & awe, and more for finding a way to quickly kill a death-row inmate. The previous attempts were inhumane, to say the least, and keep in mind there was considerable debate over the death penalty at the time. I would guess having a "no, this will kill the person quick" solution instead of a "well, it might maim them, or make them suffer a lot longer as they die" solution makes it easier to sell the death penalty to some of it's opposition. A 'cleaner death' is preferable, I'd imagine.

Just my two cents, though, but as we look back on these types of moments in history, it is easy to skew the accepted values of the time and write them off as barbaric.
They did this in Brooklyn in 2020 and a lot of people I know won’t ever forgive the cops for that. They kettled them and then beat them with batons. They had been completely peaceful.
At least for me I have been making one for nearly 3 years and hope to be able to work on it for another 30 years. I use it as my personal website so perhaps this is an additional incentive for me.
I can't technically say with 100% confidence that it would be possible. It does seem extremely likely based on all the evidence I've seen over the past 30 years.

The model would be highly nonlinear and nonlocal, at the very least.
This article is really bereft of any actual coherent thoughts worth discussion. I would wager it was written by chatgpt or similar. Broad assertions are made with no facts to back them up. There is no author listed on the article or anywhere on the site.

This is a great paragraph:
Blocking entire countries from accessing your website is a potent method to acquire more targeted, relevant, and qualified traffic to your website. Not to mention, your website traffic analytics will be squeaky clean, your web hosting service resources will receive a significant boost in performance, and you can (in most cases) close the door on spam.

What are "squeaky clean" traffic analytics? How will this close the door on spam? What metrics are shared to support the idea that the ensuing traffic is more targeted, relevant, qualified?

This garbage does not belong here.
Not related to the post, but related to the feeling:

I miss the dreams of two decades ago. It was like a cause to fight for, a bunch of hackers against a billion dollar industry. Actually, we already had support from part of that "billion dollar industry" but there was still a fight against antagonists. Every contribution was a small step, every new version, new improvements, a new program covering a feature we missed from some evil proprietary software... The points where we were ahead like security, stability and performance made every enthusiast user feel like part of great opus, a soldier in a somewhat silent war.

Fast forward 20 years, linux is now "the kernel that powers billions of end-users devices". We're still way behind on the desktop, but the "war for the end-user" has a clear leader. Many other markets were also taken entirely or partially: HPC, embedded, auto, entertainment, routers, servers, cloud... The thing matured. If you want to get a contribution in the kernel, you'll have to convince the "billion dollar industry" we seemed to be fighting against in another era. You could say they are on our side now, but I really don't know what difference it makes. Those teens of two decades ago should be proud of what was achieved and, I'm sure, many are.

The situation is good, stable, mature. Always a bit better. But the feeling, the enthusiasm, the hope... all that seems gone, and I sorely miss that. I'd love to have that feeling again. The feeling that heavy investments will be made, the feeling that the desktop is a good cause to fight for, that a small circle of hackers are willing to make something BIG.

Yes, I miss that.
The wealth is not spread. The same few companies still control that $2T, they just moved their offices. All that happened is that now NY&CA lost some jobs/tax revenue.
Yup. This is very much what we intend to do.
We can stop destroying the entire biosphere first and then get philosophical with the remaining details.
This was before the introduction of the much lauded "Middle Out" compression.
Yeah, but the thing is, this seems exactly what people are doing too, at the boundary of conscious and unconscious, with the "inner voice" being most directly comparable to LLMs. It too generates language that feels like best completion, regardless of whether the output is logically correct or not.
The first two things that comes to my mind:

- HUD/search via global-menu - You could find any option in menus by typing them (https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/hud-new-unity-feature).

- Menus in the top bar (like KDE/macOS), but also in the title bar of application (quite unique approach - https://ubunlog.com/en/ubuntu-14-04-menus-in-the-title-bar/).

I would guess so.
I find myself uninterested in Bluesky, because other than the fact that it is an invite-only system which restricts network effects, Jack Dorsey is there.

Jack Dorsey mis-managed Twitter for years and has not uttered one public peep against Musk, which means that he either agrees with Musk making him a page in the same book, or the other conclusion, that he remains the same bad manager he always was, and will run Bluesky the way he ran Twitter or how X is run today.

Mastodon has its own separate issues such as the dependence on capricious and potentially volatile server operators who aren't bound by corporate standards of accountability. I have never created a Mastodon or Bluesky account. I still have a Twitter/X account and do not feel the need to delete it. I am not a heavy user of X, I do find it of value.

I was singularly unimpressed a few weeks ago when I went looking on Mastodon to view the feed of someone who writes about technology and only technology.. but there was nothing.. I was mystified.. the Mastodon server was reporting that the account was "suspended". So, unless that's the error message returned by a user shutting down their account themselves, the operator strikes again for whatever petty political reason they may have conjured up.

Neither Mastodon nor Bluesky are worth investing time in.
For me, ArchLinux. It was more painful at first (worried about installing it the first time), but the other side of the coin is that I understand my system much, much better. ArchWiki is a jewel.

And yeah, it was because of Snap.
Where I work as a Realtor, it's generally possible to drill a well for domestic use. It will typically run about $20K and as we have a high water table, they generally hit water around 60 feet and will take the well down to around 250 feet if they want to "future proof" it. Deepest well in our area that I've heard of is around 900 feet and that was considered really rare / extreme.

Where homeowners become conflicted is that well gives them the rights to domestic use and to water a basic yard, but nothing beyond that. You are quickly in to "water rights" which can become complex and limiting. More and more we are seeing water masters (a state role) take away rights from landowners who are not fully using their water rights. For example, if the land was previously farmed but has now gone fallow and the water right has not been used, the state will revoke it - and there's a 0.0% chance of ever getting it back. This sometimes leads to cases where people (farmers) overuse their water to ensure they are demonstrating usage, but then of course that can lead to fines for overuse. No question water is going to be a defining issue in the American west for the foreseeable future.
Good luck! Governance is always one of the harder problems when setting up a project. Maybe the CNCF could actually help already, given the high profile nature of Terraform? I also have a few projects we set up governance for, but I don't think those would fit OpenTF as they were made for smaller projects.
> Through this understanding I am able to come to the conclusion that it bad.

I've not commented on whether it's good or bad. I'm commenting about the apparent surprise at their behavior.

The latter, as is their job.
I think not being able to reach true sustainability might be a core concept here.

Don’t forget, we’re playing the Bad Guy here, who tirelessly exploits a foreign ecosystem and kills its inhabitants en masse. We quickly lose sight of the initial goal of escaping and just keep building _more_ only to be able to build even more quickly at scale.

The community motto is: “The factory must grow!”
You can buy known objects (expensive, for metrology calibration) or nowadays you could 3D print test objects. A simple one is to set up a flat board with white noise printed on it and then measure depth noise as a function of distance (eg fit a plane).

The cameras usually aren't the problem. You just need two reasonably high quality machine vision cameras that are ideally hardware synced. There are geometric limits on how accurate you can be, related to the camera separation/baseline and how well you expect you can match at the sub pixel level. 0.1-0.25 px would be considered decent. Normally you'd design the problem in reverse eg what error do we need at the worst distance, field of view dictates lenses, etc. It can be very bespoke.

Depth reconstruction is more reliant on matching algorithms and illumination. You can test stereo algorithms on benchmark datasets (The classics are Middlebury and KITTI). Illumination includes things like random dot projection or other artificial texture to aid matching + reconstruction.

I guess you're right, it's not about morals. It is about common decency (alongside things such as not littering), though.
This is a wonderful start. Here's hoping it catches on outside of the EU as well!
In theory, if you have the source code (it is the easiest), you can run the app in your head, so no chips needed.
I doubt that "clean room" fixes for each new commit in Terraform can be authored in order to maintain compatibility with the canonical source.
My 5 year plan includes building a shed with power, then adding a self driven well and adding the capacity to switch irrigation off city water to the shed source (tm). In the northeast so no real water concerns here
The thing is I never picked up tools like Obsidian or Anytype because I wanted them to do my thinking for me. On the contrary, I use them because they help me be rigorous in my thinking. The process of methodically recording and organizing what I find and where I found it ensures that there are some questions I always ask about everything.

Like, my template record for a company has slots for the C-suite that link to records for persons, and slots for parent and child companies. Because of that, whenever I add a new company to my database, I'm prompted to add that information. I don't have to, but what's important is that I don't have to worry about forgetting to deliberately make that choice. And in the future I can count on being reminded of what I omitted.

It's not uncommon, when an article from a niche site hits high on YC, for multiple people to see what else is on that site (especially if there are related links at the bottom of the article), and to submit whatever else is interesting on that site as well.

Another example is OpenStreetMap which changed its license because we learned that the old one wasn't adequate for the purpose intended.

We have no idea how today's licenses will be challenged in the future and I believe it's a good practice to keep a door open to being able to change the license going forward.

That it's not done maliciously is a purpose for foundations which serve as trust anchors.
Did they even lose tax revenue other than income tax from some admin jobs? Most states have moved to market based sourcing rules for corporate taxes, so revenue is taxed where the services are received. If the clients are still in CA/NY, I presume it does not change much.

In either case, changes in income quintile/decile would be a better measure than whatever this article is supposed to show.
Software developers aren't a higher life form where only they can remember where they took their device for service. Plumbers and teachers and nurses are perfectly capable of it even if they don't know how cryptography or RAM works, and it's the tech company attitude that they can't which is extremely patronizing.

In my experience, blocking traffic by AS number is vastly superior. You can either analyze your own traffic and build a list of VPN, foreign CLOUD HOSTING providers, Pro/Virtual ISPs, foreign TELCOS and others over time (which I recommend), or you can just use existing lists to achieve pretty much the same thing.

The beauty of it is ASNs are much more granular than GEO subnets and will allow you to block bad actors in your geo. Plus, they are by construction rather precise with few false positives.

Check your traffic once in a while, if you get DDoSed or bruteforced just ban the AS and forget about the tens of thousands of IPs it could have used otherwise.
It also creates jobs in Florida and Texas…
I think Elixir/Erlang + Redis pub-sub + PostgreSQL is the sane minimal subset for distributed and scalable systems.

> improve your skills and equipment

This is the thing. If you are using "equipment" then you are only off the grid temporarily. Sooner or later all that stuff you bought at REI is going to fail. Then what?
Would we have a more robust security culture, or would we all be forced to pay with cash everywhere, not use IoT, and mail paperwork in the actual mail?

People might not want to use something that disqualified them from legal protection if they used it. It would make tech look unsafe if we just straight up said "This will be hacked and we're not even going to do anything about it".

Early 2000a culture was amazing but I'm not sure I'd want to go back to using cash and not having tile trackers.

Maybe if you had extremely tight limits on what you can do, you can break in but not alter anything for any reason.

But then again, maybe it would have the opposite effect, like in the 90s when we still tried to move to doing as much as possible digitally even though it was almost never secure. Maybe people would just accept it.
Bjarne Stroustrup is emphatic that prohibiting all leaks must be part of safety, but I have no idea what the logical justification is to distinguish say Box::leak, which this prohibits, from the moral equivalent of freeing resources only on exit, which is fine under such a rule.

It composes (if A doesn't leak and B doesn't leak, then a combination AB also does not leak) which is a property safety also has, but I don't see another connection.
Fedora, Debian, Arch seem to be common replacements.
Always impressed how some people possess the skill to plough through these kind of codebases. I wouldnt even know where to start. Yet alone find the time to execute these kind of projects. Although maybe I should remember my life before kids. Coding till 4 pm every day. Huge respect for this guy.
Love it.

Funny, while I was reading the site, I was wondering if you could build crons on it - and that was the last example :-)

Some cool things I'd like to try would be:

"Create an alert whenever [EVENT] happens and contact [whomever]"

"Give me a system summary every morning at 9:15 AM called "Stand-up Status"

"Summarize all events for [OBJECT] each [TIME PERIOD] and send a report daily at X"

"Give the CFO a daily spend report each morning"

-

Can it do things like this?

They did this with Colgate Toothpaste a while back. It was a minor scandal. It was real Colgate, but not the USA formula. It was not ADA approved and didn't have the same flouride content.
Actually, that's an interesting questions - last I recall, Linux didn't use the multiboot specification, and mostly got away with it by being so popular that everything just also supports it directly? If that's true, then it would be interesting to see what it took to make it compatible.
This is the last straw.

Yet it was somehow required to use the NVMe drive in this machine. This is braindead.

Learnt this the hard way on a previous motherboard I had with two sata controller, the native Intel one, and an additional Marvell one. Sanity would encourage to use the intel one, except for all those friggin issues.

As for Linux, I know why it works :) But it always amazes me that this FOSS project can ship all those IDs, quirks and all, but not one of the largest company on the planet. What a time to live where Linux has less driver issues than Windows.

Thank you for all the details, I did not know iRST was such a hot mess. It's not that new, one would have guessed shit would have been figured out since. But no. Oh well...

Btw sorry for the tone, I thought by "vendor" you meant Dell and not Intel. They produce some of the worst driver I ever had to work with. Don't get me started on their drivers for the E810 line of datacenter network adapters.
Perfect income equality (which isn't going to happen anyway, nothing near it) would have cataclysmic consequences for economies. We can't talk about $12,000 or whatever per person as if that means something.

Getting traction on this problem at the scope of the entire world would indeed be a huge lift. It's a shame that it's impossible to narrow the scope to something more realistic. As everyone knows, prosperous countries doing work to more equitably share that prosperity among its citizens is... a sin?

Actually the level of variation per genome relative to a reference is still not completely known because we do not have more than a handful of truly complete assemblies. It is clear though that it is much higher than a few million base pairs, perhaps as high as tens of millions, depending on your alignment parameters. Most of the differences are in regions we have not been able to sequence and assemble until the past few years. This paper being a key example. If two males have different versions of large repetitive arrays on the Y then they will already be much more than "a few million" base pairs different

So much negativity for this. I would like to say I appreciate the efforts they put in towards making an excellent developer environment. I've not found anything as fast and snappy (pardon) for development as well as light gaming. It's true they do have frayed edges, but all OSes do. As they said, their intention is to put their intentions on paper to hold themselves to it, and that is commendable.
