[username] reacted to message [username]: [message]

> In a business context that means missing critical acknowledgements of messages and generally forced our IRC bridge users to switch.

I'm not sure I'd willing call an emoji reaction to a "business critical message" acceptable. Either it's critical, and an emoji reaction (which currently doesn't generate a notification) isn't sufficient, or it's not critical, and someone (I don't mean you, speaking rhetorically) is wound *way* to tight! :D
Then it is correct? Many of the Fugu APIs don't work.

I didn't say none.

You can always tell someone hasn't developed consumer apps for ChromeOS when they white knight for it.

If you want to know a specific API that DOESN'T work, but performs splendidly on Windows, then the Eyedropper is a perfect example.

There's an old bug report for it that even has Google Chrome team support, and still no dice.

But yeah, keep rushing to defend the platform that doesn't even get proper support from its creators.

Another example is given in the link you posted. Direct Sockets API is deprecated, but its replacement isn't available yet.

So, if you were a web-dev using "vanilla" ChromeOS to test a site, you better install a full Debian VM on your 4 gb machine, because there's no other way to spin up a server.

No, I think it was correct to say Fugu is NOT for ChromeOS.
I got introduced to https://goblin.tools on the Fediverse and found it handy ever since for some of the usual things I ask ChatGPT. On it, there's the "Formalizer" for this use case, and "Magic To Do" to help break down tasks (and there's the option to generate time estimates too).
All of the ones you shared that were disclosed were accidents, that was my point.
Which is also why you shouldn't trust an RTF file
The only problem is I seem to hit CAPTCHA challenges very frequently.
“Says responsible developers”. That’s called rationalizing friend.

This conversation can go nowhere because you believe you’re right and others are wrong. You really should accept that you have a specific preference and other people have other preferences. It’s not a question of right or wrong.
Literally came here to comment the same. I also thought about a father embracing his dead son possibly. Yeah anything is possible. They could also just be dead bodies thrown in there that happen to fall in a way thay looks like they were deliberately embracing.
I don't get shorts. The UI seems awful. The aspect ratio is unpleasant, and for some reason it rapidly advances me to another short without giving me time to interact with the UI.
My read is more that they do not want to build outside of Taiwan as the TSMC fabs on the island have become of enormous strategic interest to the United States (as well as China). Building fabs in the US is directly counter to this, and I would wager we have twisted their arm to do so. I am so far not surprised by all the complaining and foot dragging they are doing in Arizona.
Say what you will about ISIS but they do not sit on the sidelines.

This absurdist comparison isn't to say Musk is as bad as ISIS, but rather action shouldn't be confused with helping.
Thanks for elaborating. Having read (and then listened to Stephen Fry read) the Harry Potter series during lock-down, that sounds like it would be worth checking out.
> Whatever you or I dislike about the governments we live under, we are incredibly fortunate to live in democracies

We don't live in democracies. At best we live in a 'representative democracy'. These are not the same thing, at all.

Representative democracy is where (if we vote) we choose 1 person every 5 years to represent tens or hundreds of thousands of people, for thousands of votes. If the person you vote for does get in, but doesn't do what he said in their campaign, there is no negative outcome for them. The worst is that they will receive less votes next time, but even that unlikely to be based on their voting record, but on whether more people prefer blue or red this time.

But all that is itself moot, imo. I think we live in a not very covert fascist (corporate and state) regime - voting is simply a pressure release valve, when both red and blue are merely wings of the same bird.
I haven't noticed any decrease in the ease to find what I'm looking for when using Google over decades, I always find what I need on the first page if not the first result.

Every time someone brings that up, I ask for an example of something they are looking for, and their search query, and every single time I either don't get an answer, or get an answer that shows Google has absolutely no problem at all.

So, give me an example.
It's called egotism. So just accept it and make your own stylesheet or site.

So your friend made some poor life choices, what's your point?

I've lived in Austin a long time, I've liked it a lot, though have seen the negatives grow more than the positives in the past 5 years, but I don't know what anyone would take from your comparison.

Your friend deliberately chose a shitty lifestyle. I have really little compassion for that because I'm always dumbfounded how little people value the time with their loved ones. His choice to fly back and forth from SV to Cleveland every week is certainly not that common, and definitely has nothing to do with the specifics of living in SV.
Sure this will go fine since it's not like we have a track record of people dying in Teslas, with Tesla taking zero accountability, and withholding the crash data from open scrutiny.

HN's moderation does tend to kick in, though not immediately. And on topics in which there is specific expertise comments can be gold.

I'm not suggesting that happens all the time, or even most of it. But relative to other online discussions it does quite well.

The next step up would probably require limited access and verified qualifications. Or something along the lines of StackExchange (which does, yes, have its own problems).
Add in the pretend notion that cars equal freedom and it’s just a cycle of energy wasting nonsense.

It is freedom. Life is "energy wasting" too, but don't let that get in the way of ideological virtue-signaling...

Agreed, I didn't mean to trivialize DMT, I shoulda prefaced it by saying I tripped last night, 75mg vaporized, and managed a 16 minute torrent of geometry without ego death, which was unique (stim/dizzos).

Really, it may be the best choice for _readers here_, given it's short length, penultimate intensity, less (statistically) common cases of HPPD, and massive perspective change. That is, after all, how it has earned its informal title as the "business mans trip,"

Regarding the chances of HPPD, I have seen far more people (even adjusted for LSDs and DMT rarity relatively) blame acid for their mental discontinuity then DMT.

LSD makes you feel like you had an eureka moment; DMT makes you think you had it then forgot it, as it's nature. Shrooms....are a dice roll, especially comparivitly
I think most people would agree that an ISP is PII, and that whether it's okay to share is dependent on the context.

Could you tell us a bit more about that context? What "players" were these ASNs in reference to? Why did people in your server seem taken aback when you posted them? What was the discussion about when you made this comment? Why post ASNs at all? You said it was to prove people in Asia weren't using your Asian servers, what does that mean exactly?

To be clear, I've heard of lots of bad moderation calls from Discord, and I'd be nervous about building on them too. My mind remains open. But I agree with the sibling comment's characterization that you seem evasive - and that raise a red flag for me.
I still drive like I rode my motorcycle: looking at every car on the road and trying to figure out how they could kill me, and then responding accordingly.
Totally. I worked for a consultant agency for a year and this resonates with me.

What they’re claiming, I think, is that the imaginary Foxconn facility lead to Walker’s downfall. It’s not like anyone said “let’s make the Foxconn facility go away, to get rid of Walker” (this _would_ arguably be cutting off the nose to spite the face); the facility was always imaginary, and this arguably lead to Walker’s downfall. There was never a nose to start with.
I got a call from an ex-girlfriend about a year ago. We had been broken up for at least 5 or 6 years. Hadn't spoken since then. She calls out of the blue to ask if I can come try to fix her computer; she had taken it to the local repair shop and they didn't know what to do with it. She remembered that I had done "a bunch of weird stuff" to it, so she though I might be able to help.

I opened it up, and sat before me was Ubuntu 12.04. It hadn't been updated since before we broke up. The only real issue was some weird stuff going on with the networking, so it wouldn't connect to WiFi. Got it fixed, and I assume she's still going strong with it.

That said, I absolutely wouldn't trust modern Ubuntu (at least back to 20.04, maybe farther) to remain so stable. Ubuntu is now nothing more than a Rube Goldberg machine.
Now that opensearch has ivfpq, and I assume pgvector will get it within 6mo... the current typical case for most teams, big or small, should be handled. Regular databases are all adding it, further chiseling away at the need for dedicated vector DB startups. This seems consistent with what we guessed would happen at the bottom of https://gradientflow.com/the-vector-database-index/ .

AFAICT standalone optimized vector stores will still have their place, like super latency sensitive or high-throughput scenarios. Unfortunately for many stakeholders, venture-scale returns to justify the megarounds from the peak vc fomo of the last few years seems unclear. The TBD hail mary here may be generative AI: even if most modern vector search workloads are largely fine with regular DB extensions to support a few kinds of vector indexes, the continued growth of generative AI, knowledge graphs, etc., may somehow grow the pie for non-standard DBs here. That's not obvious to me. For example, with Databricks LakehouseIQ, a lot of the use case may be eaten by the data warehouses.
Again, none of that applies in the California alfalfa case. Senior water rights are a rent. The externalities aren’t important because if they paid a fair market value for that water, it wouldn’t be profitable to grow. Capitalism is unnecessary here; a feudal lord with the same fief on water rights would do the same, capital investment is irrelevant. The trade happens because the government granted a rent, effectively paying to make Imperial Valley farming profitable.

Look, I believe in late-stage capitalism as much as the average liberal arts professor, but it’s stupid to blame all problems on it.
> It's a little disrespectful IMO to refer to them as 'the lovers' just because of how they were laying.

You can't slander the dead (who in any case have no rights) so it's OK to call them what you want. And poetic names abound, from archeological sites like this, to the species names of insects, to toponyms and beyond.

I consider it harmless. Ideological names are more dangerous.

If someone found useful DNA and determined a parental relationship then it would make sense to change a then misleading popular name to something likely more accurate, but until then...
Only because they try to scale.

Support doesn't scale. It's weakly profitable. It's specific to an area. It's slow. It requires workers with a bit of clue.

Support is everything that modern business culture loathes.
Batteries Plus is one of the retailers I do go to, though infrequently. Was just there a month or two back paying for battery recycling. I'll usually drop in when I have a lead acid I need to replace like in a mobility scooter or UPS, but that's been a while.
I mean, it's really hard to feel that bad for folks. People say it's about the property taxes, but a lot of people also saw that their property values tripled in a few years and were more than happy to cash in that winning lottery ticket, and I certainly don't blame them.
While I don't doubt that some of it is, calling it propaganda implies a deliberateness to me.

Most of this stuff isn't lies. It's different groups of people focusing on different parts of the same events. Most of the time when you get two competing narratives for an event, neither are actually dishonest, they're just a collection of events that tell a particular story that is of particular concern to a group. Usually the events all actually happened but their importance and relatedness are re-arranged.
Money can buy higher quality and higher amplified speech, in fact there's an argument that is the primary reason for accumulating money for anyone interested in politics, at least in the US.

And it's not surprising that most people pay more attention to whatever they perceive to be better value for their time.

So it's not really those with less money getting 'end of a baton' but those with less convincing speech. It's unfortunate that the least convincing and credible are at best treated as outcasts, and at worst as criminals.

But how could a democratic society be structured differently? People can't be forced to treat every single individual the same.
The last time I was working in a setting where a rock-solid Chubby-alike under serious load was constantly top of mind was some years ago, and at that time you used ZK if failure wasn’t an option.

But AFAIK people have been putting heavy, heavy work on Raft-based options like etcd and Consul and others for many years now.

Is one of those systems like the new best default? Certainly the conceptual clarity and elegance of Raft seem like things that would show up in performance and reliability, but I’m just dated on this.

What are people (who aren’t at Google or married to GCP) using as the best practices default when the stakes are high in 2023?

I think there’s a production-grade Rust implementation of Raft from IIRC TikV, and a rock-solid, high performance lock server seems squarely in the sweet spot for Rust. Are people using that?

I definitely agree with the family being most important part. It can become too trite of a response, so i'll add color by extending it to the _idea_ of family - really it's human intimacy - that's most meaningful. ambition and accolades are mostly a facade yes, but it's possible in that journey you dare and are vulnerable and meet people and learn about moments of intimacy and vulnerability and all that. Spoken like a true Californian! TLDR: people and connection (family) yes.
Nobody is asking the real questions:

1. Is optimizing for (some of) these metric going to lead to business outcomes? E.g. Can someone give evidence that obsessing over LOC will lead to better business outcomes? And how?

2. For managers that utilize these metrics to compare and stack rank, how do they account for real business outcomes? E.g. if Tom writes a bug fix with 1000 loc and Jerry writes a difficult migration with a 100 lines of configs but with immense stress in production, how does management determine what is what?

So you don't want to rewrite it?

And I don't know what you mean by "non-null portrait."

Let's look that awful sentence:

Kennan’s father was something of a ne’er-do-well—not a wastrel, exactly, but unambitious and, despite his expertise in what should have been the lucrative practice of tax law, inept at navigating the real world.

It does not say "successful," first of all. It says he was expert in tax law but somehow didn't manage to turn that into serious money. "Not a wastrel, exactly" suggests that he had some wastrel-like qualities. "Unambitious" and "inept at navigating" -- also character descriptions like you'd find in fiction.

As for the servants: not that unusual in that age. Their house was "a gift from Kennan’s maternal grandparents." And it doesn't say they owned an elegant summer house; it says they "vacationed at an elegant lakeside summer retreat."

For me it IS a character portrait, sorry. I guess you don't like the author's tone, which is legitimate, but you have not indicted the writing at all.
