Most of you guys are missing the forest for the trees. HashiCorp has been around for over a decade now and they've never turned a profit. ZIRP is over.

If you guys keep sending these companies to the graveyard, there will no longer be an incentive to fund them. Then OSS will be reduced down to projects incubated by FAANG or stuff created by hobbyists.

Imagine you are a capital allocator, why would you burn your (LPs) money for what amounts to free R&D for MSFT/GOOGL/AMZN.

If you are going trash a company for taking the only viable path to maintain its existence, at the very least provide a feasible alternative.

While I don't know Latin, I do know Sanskrit. In Sanskrit you can say entire sentences with one word. For example "जिगमिषामि।" is a full sentence and it means "I want to go." This is possible because Sanskrit (and Latin) are highly inflected languages. The price for brevity is that now you have to remember many more forms of verbs and nouns. So nothing impressive (at least to me).

I read the linked info and the comments asking why this was upvoted and it's a good question. The liked answer feels a lot like a text version of a TikTok video.

A TikTok example is a video about a 'little known' fact of quantum mechanics. The linked info gives us the same type of satisfaction we would get from a TikTok, but is on Hacker News because it's presented in a more 'legitimate' way.

In today's digital landscape, where data breaches and cyberattacks have become alarmingly commonplace, ensuring the security of your online interactions is paramount. One of the most crucial steps you can take to protect your sensitive information is by utilizing SSL certificates. In this article, we delve into the risks of not using SSL certificates, shedding light on the potential vulnerabilities you might face. Moreover, we'll provide you with valuable insights and practical tips to fortify your digital defenses and establish trust with your audience. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, certificates are cryptographic protocols that facilitate secure communication over the internet. They provide an encrypted link between a web server and a browser, ensuring that data shared between the two remains confidential and tamper-proof. SSL certificates play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive information, such as personal details, login credentials, and credit card numbers, during online transactions and interactions.

Fact is, there's no way to keep a person from being offended if they want to be. No logic, no evidence.

And this is an attitude that is freakishly respected these days. Whole groups of people validating each other's offendedness. And even getting offended on behalf of people they never met.

And to belong to a class of people widely known to be in a permanent state of offendedness, and unassailably so, and generally respected as such, is a highly desirable and sought-after position.

The maniacs have taken over the asylum.
Unfortunately, you don't need a fabricated scenario to convince people to believe the opposite of what is true. Media outlets routinely select which facts to report, influencing public perception.

Probably unrelated, but I tried to get ChatGPT to write me some code to programmatically control the details of a column filter in an Excel spreadsheet in PowerShell.

Nothing it tried worked, it got close, but it didn't work.

Finally I found some C# code that fixed the problem, and I pasted that code into ChatGPT, asked it to read it, and then fix the problem in PowerShell.

It said it understood the solution, updated the script, and it worked perfectly.

For some reason that behavior was pretty eye opening. Providing material in the question that it wasn't trained on made it solve it.

It's understandable how it did it from language training, it just felt very cool that LLM's can do that.

Nicely put.

Yes, I think there is room for a lot of innovation yet in many areas: OS design, programming language design, input devices, GUIs, and much more besides.

Saying that, when implemented well, there's a lot of stuff that's pretty good.

I think one aspect that's neglected is that yes, some tech we all use is very old and legacy-inspired. But often, it's not that we use some ancient thing because it's ancient and it hasn't changed. It's because it had lots of competitors but it beat them all.

For instance, QWERTY. Yes it is very old and yes it came from typewriters.

If you want to keep it very formal. Informally one would say something like "Trau dich, trinks!", or even shorter, "Komm, trinks!" or "Hopp, trinks!". Also depends on the exact intentions, if it were a bet, one could translate it as "Wetten dass dus nicht trinkst?", which would also state which side of the bet the speaker is on. "Herausfordern" is also more something like "challenge", as in "one knight challenging the other", less like "dare" as in "one child trying to get the other to do something".

IMO the browser is far too important to use third-party builds containing patches that don't receive serious audit.

For example, the Chromium packages provided by the vast majority of Linux distros disable security features like CFI (check your favorite distro's x86_64 Chromium package build log and look for the "is_cfi" argument). I think Arch is the only exception.

ungoogled-chromium has similar problems https://qua3k.github.io/ungoogled/

If you are going to use a Blink-based browser, I would recommend just using the official Google release, or maybe Edge or Brave if you trust the organizations behind them. Otherwise, just switch to Firefox. It has its own problems, like being overall less hardened than Chromium, but it's far less user-hostile. And regarding security, for browsing untrusted sites, I think you should always virtualize the browser since they're all routinely exploited anyway.
Yes, I think similarly in Spanish would be `se despidió demasiado` or `se despidió demasiadas veces` if you want `too many times` rather than `too much`. Disclaimer: Spanish is not my first language.

Tipping is not the convention in Brazil. At least in the Brazilian places I lived in, in São Paulo State
My chef's knife is a Elephant-brand carbon-steel sabatier. It gets five strokes each side on a steel, every few times I use it. The steel is ancient and worn; and I'm sure it's never been near carbide or diamond.

Every few months it gets a few strokes on each side on a coticule. I have a coticule because I got into shaving with a straight razor. I have a leather strop for the razors (it's never seen any kind of paste!) My understanding is that stropping is to re-align the edge of the blade, which tends to 'flop over' in use. I don't strop kitchen knives; I don't think the edge is thick enough to flop over. I only strop razors.

Neither stropping (on clean leather) nor steeling should be removing metal; no metal or abrasive particles should be produced, and it's perfectly safe to do it in the kitchen. Sharpening with the coticule does remove metal, but the particles are captured in the watery sludge, and don't escape as dust.

[Edit] My chef's knife is not Elephant; it's Richardson Steel of Sheffield (from before they sold out). I bought an Elephant paring knife, though, and Elephant chef's knives for each of my kids.

It's just a skin of Chromium that Samsung phones use as a default browser.
If you're interested in the grammar, I think the distinction you're getting at is pluperfect (plan action that was completed-in-the-past-in-the-past) and perfect (an action that was completed-in-the-past).

"She had said goodbye too many times before" means, at some point in the past, it was the case that she had previously said goodbye too many times. I think this is the intended meaning.

"She said goodbye too many times before" I don't think makes sense if you're extremely literal about it, since I can't see what "before" would track to without the embedded past.

The grammatically correct versions I can come up with are:
- She had (or she'd) said goodbye too many times before.
- She said goodbye too many times.
- She said, "Goodbye too many times before".

Disclaimer: I do get that these are all worse song lyrics and that nobody had any problem understanding the intended meaning of the example sentence, which is sort of the goal of grammar.

Bring the Twitter we love back. A story of rebranding and reviews
I agree he repeats Russian propaganda and it's sad. It diminishes his previously clear and rational portrayal of what he knew of the NSA.

It was clear that Russia lining their tanks up on the border and stress testing the Ukrainian response to an invasion was not going to be a bluff. Why give your enemy the chance at trial run? This was the message from US and UK intelligence and they were right.

I understand why he does it though, he is in Russia and if someone takes a dislike to him he will be dead. He would also feel justifiably "wronged" by the US, and i understand why he would not want to repeat US messaging, but maybe don't keep quite about the Russian "messaging" as well.

At least he is not as crazy as Kim Dotcom, another Twitter "celebrity" with a taste for Russian propaganda who has been wronged by the US.
shrug same story as with POSIX - something so minimal in features and inconsistent between implementations can only work as a lowest common denominator and is without any practical meaning. Call it a victim of own success, it won't change much in practice.
> a very pedantic definition of "reproducible builds"

That's not a pedantic definition, that is the definition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds

> simply build an executable

One does not "simply" build an executable of a ten year old game codebase on a modern system. Of course it might be worth putting the build system - by which I literally mean the hardware and software - in storage. Realistically though, with all the churn happening in the games industry, studios getting closed/moved right after the game ships, it's often just not happening, especially if the game is not a big success.

> It's pathetic on Rockstar's part

It's actually exactly the kind of "fuck the police" attitude that I expect from the studio responsible for a game like GTA. Groups like Razor1911 also have their own ethics, they're doing a good job, creating a version of the game that is better than the one that actually shipped.

Well, Mister "lol"; what does "have doctors" mean to you. Because it seems to me without needing any sort of special education that one could conceivably take the term 'have doctors' to mean one thing according to how one poster describes their experience and mean something else entirely depending on how another poster would describe their experience. So, explicitly, what exactly does " have doctors " mean to you?

Also, they don't own a suitable truck, nor own the suitable tools.

With auto mechanics, the folks selling tools (such as the Snap-On Tools truck operator) will handle the financing.

> I think fat people have something wrong with them where the whole process of eat food -> feel sated is off.

This isn't something that's wrong with fat people, it's something wrong with the food environment they're in. 75 years ago your idea would have some intrinsic plausibility, as only a very small number of people had obesity. Now, in the United States, we're at a point where ~40% of adults have obesity. The explanation almost certainly lies with changes in the food environment, instead of with a huge portion of people catching an unknown disease that causes them to not know how much they're eating.

That's because in fact we do know about changes to food environment that could cause this. Since roughly the 1970s we've switched to foods that are more calorie-dense and less nutritious because they have become cheaper to produce. The relative cost of soft drinks and other sugary goods has increased much less than the cost of fresh vegetables, and in fact the industry has higher profits on these foods. I bought two liters of sugary soda for $1 the other day, that's a common offer at a grocery store near me.

If you drill down to how this is being accomplished, you'll notice that the rates of corn and soy production per person have vastly increased over the last 50 years. That's not because people are eating more tofu (which would be healthy), it's because (a) they're both used as additives or sweeteners (corn syrup), and (b) they're used as feed for animals who get turned into cheap meat at fast food restaurants. The US heavily subsidizes these crops - in fact they make up close to half of US farm land. As a result, the same (genetic) individual would almost certainly experience a much worse food environment today than in 1960.

People who aren't affected by this are those who are either (a) genetically blessed, and would hardly gain weight in any environment, or (b) are socially blessed, in that they are wealthier, live in places with a strong culture of exercise, and/or have easy access to nutritious fresh vegetables.

That seems like a google translate issue, the word "valedīcō" seems to unambiguously mean bidding farewell (or giving a farewell speech): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/valedico#Latin, and valedīxit is unambiguously the "third-person singular perfect active indicative" of valedīcō (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/valedixit).

There is a word used frequently in the Hebrew Bible that is four letters long ויהי that is typically translated into English using 5 words or 19 letters “and it came to pass”. See, for example, the beginning of Genesis 4:3.

This makes me wonder, what is the largest difference between letter count in two different languages?

This example has a 4:19 ratio. Depending on what translation you go with (I think the consensus is actually the three word answer “nimium saepe valedixit”), the Latin example has a 22:38 (11:19) ratio.

Of course, this is just considering alphabetic languages. If we look at SE Asian languages we will find more extreme examples. For instance, a google search led me to:
