Whilst I use prime video, thats only because it comes 'for free' alongside shipping, which (at least in the UK) still is pretty good in terms of next-day, sometimes even same day.

I wish they would do a cheaper tier without all these additional 'benefits' (Video, Music, Twitch etc), but I suspect the reality is that its sort of a loss leader even without those benefits.
> On the other hand, pedaling a bicycle, or pushing a car is a lot of work.

One of these is not like the other. Pedalling a bike doesn't come even close.

Humans consume several million calories per day at most, now as a rule of thumb a million calories is about the same as a kWh. And the only reason they consume that much energy is because the human body is inefficient at converting this heat to work. Even the best cyclists struggle to produce anything more than a few hundred watt.

More to the point, humans struggle to power a light bulb, let alone a house.
Windows vs Mac is like politics in the United States right now. Both options suck.

You have a choice between spending $2k-3k on a machine from Apple to get decent ram, storage and io specs, or getting a Windows laptop that basically comes loaded with so much Microsoft backed spyware, forced output of telemetry data, and interfaces that force you to use their different cloud services like Bing and OneDrive that it just gets in the way of using your computer.

What is the lesser of two evils? Do you pay through the nose for your computer, or try to scrape off all the crap they've put on top of windows.
I definitely meant "a new Tesla" from the perspective of the drive train. Obviously an old car is gonna be an old car. And if the car is otherwise falling apart with the interior plastics crumbling from uv damage, replacing the battery is the least concern. Most would just consider the car dead at that point.

But that's why I don't understand why you seem to assume a Tesla needing a new battery and a worn out interior/exterior/suspension is going to be $10k. Where's the data? Do you actually have listings of Teslas with dead batteries for $10k?
Thank you Amazon for this display of unbridled greed. You've helped me realize that I really don't need Prime for anything, I barely use Amazon anyway due to all the fake products, so I am going to cancel and save myself >$100 a year.

If I cancel Prime, do I lose access to the Prime Videos I have already bought? I have LOTR extended on there as well as a bunch of seasons of Always Sunny.
I mean wages might be equal (are they, though? Big tech pays a lot as you go up) on average but there’s a lot of difference in how they pay out. Big tech usually provides compensation bands where your salary is pretty stable. Vulnerability research frequently has your compensation hinge on your performance to a much larger extent.
This is incredibly naive. “If only the people were EDUCATED!” No, we are far beyond that.
> The difference is that nobody is harmed in the scenario where someone makes a closed source product with permissively licensed code.

This is not true. What is harmed (and has effectively been destroyed) is the market to make money from selling libraries.

Many might be too young to remember, but it used to be that one could make a nice living selling libraries to companies.

In 1990 (just to pick a year) when BigCo Inc was developing a software project and needed library foo, they generally had two choices: build it internally or purchase one for money from a third party. This meant there was a nice market for small software houses to sell all kinds of libraries to BigCo.

Imagine for a moment a world where all open source is GPL. BigCo wouldn't touch the GPL libraries so they still either build or buy and we (developers) can continue to make money from our work.

Unfortunately it is no longer possible to make money from libraries because anything BigCo wants can be had for free in a BSD/MIT license so they get to take all the volunteer work, profit from it and give nothing back.
I encountered a weird bug with deserializing JSON in a JRuby app during an OpenJDK upgrade - it would sporadically throw a parse error for no apparent reason. I was upgrading to OpenJDK 15, but another user experienced the same regression with an LTS upgrade from 8 to 11.

The end result of my own investigation led to this quite satisfying thread on hotspot-compiler-dev, in which an engineer starts with my minimal reproduction of the problem and posts a workaround within 24 hours: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2021...

There's also a tip there: try a fastdebug build and see if you can convert it into an assertion failure you can look up.

I'm not a fan of moxie especially because of his hatred of federation (but luckily the EU is now enforcing this) but I don't think it's fair to say he cashed out.

The cryptocoin crap in signal was indeed a misstep but moxie didn't get rich from it. Signal is still paid for by donations and nobody even uses the payment stuff.

I'm not using it much because I want something open on both the software and network side, so I'm in favor of matrix all the way. Even if their E2E isn't quite as good yet.

It depends upon what you mean here.

You could always set the backing thread pools for core.async and agents in Clojure. That gives you the ability to use virtual threads right now.

But in order to avoid thread pinning, there will need to be some code changes to convert some uses of synchronized to ReentrantLock. How fast that happens will depend upon the given library maintainer. Here's an issue for making some of these changes in Clojure's core library: https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJ-2771

I've tested Clojure's agents with the new virtual threads for my targeted use case they're significantly faster than before - I can spin up tens of thousands of mostly idle agents and reach performance close enough to core.async for me.

Tell HN: Patreon is adding public member profiles, and they'll be on by default
My understanding is that if you have patreon subscriptions, they'll go from being private on your profile, to being shown on your profile, as of Oct 4 2023.

I really wish companies would always do opt-in instead of opt-out for things that involve taking information that was assumed to be private and making it public.

If you have patreon subscriptions and you don't want them to be private, you'll need to go and cancel this.
XMPP is fragmented yes but matrix works great. XMPP just made things too modular.
Part of my job is to measure storage performance...

I can tell you at leas this: there cannot be a meaningful "benchmark of Postgres on Ceph". Too many things will influence the benchmark way too much. You need to be a lot more specific when you talk about such benchmarks. Here are some things you will need to present:

* Are OSDs connected to the node being tested through network or are they closer (NVMe / SAS / SATA?). If network, what's the bandwidth? What's the latency? What if it's stuff like reliable Ethernet that's used for iSCSI / NVMe over IP or something like that?

* How much memory (relative to data at rest) does the node have?

* What is the layout of memory buffers in PostgreSQL?

* What is the setting used for synchronization in PostgreSQL?

* How much replication is going to happen (Ceph pool size)?

* Block sizes and frame sizes.

* Type of workload. Surprisingly, some queries can exploit parallelism in I/O while other queries cannot. Surprisingly some queries will need a lot of synchronization while others don't.

And there's more, it would be too tedious to try to give an exhaustive list of things to control for. And the problem is, at least those mentioned here can influence performance sometimes up to an order of magnitude, sometimes two orders of magnitude...

Open Source doesn’t pay. Companies need to make money. Any open source product owned and developed by a for profit company is at danger of it moving away from open source.

If you want open source go fund non profit organisations and/or charities. The fact we don’t see developers do that tells me a lot.

I've been switching to Apple products lately so it works. Not the iPhone; that's a rip off, but iPad, Apple Pencil, and the M1 chips were just good enough to be worth the jump. The touch bar on MBP was a downgrade IMO and I'm glad they learned from it and removed it.

Glancing at a few graphs of death rates/year, they show, if anything, the opposite of what he claims. And note the effect he's claiming would be huge, the drug was on a market for a few years, so 500k would be on the order of 100k/year. Total cardiovascular deaths /year in the US run around 500k a year, so you'd be seeing a jump of 20% and then a similar decline a few years later. Its hard to imagine that would go unnoticed.
> I personally want to make a living making software products, not services. GPL doesn’t seem to offer me a way to do this.

It's exactly the opposite!

If you want to make a living making software, you make it GPL. Any corporation that wants it will need to pay you for a commercially licensed version they can use (it's your code, you can license it in as many ways as you want). The hobbyists can use the free GPL version and the companies can pay you for your work. Win-win.

If you make your software BSD/MIT licenses you can't make any money, every corporation that wants it just takes it for free so you can't make a living out of it. You could try selling support but if your library is great and easy to use, not much money in that.

Unfortunately for you (and me) even if you make a really awesome library and license it as described above, you still can't make a living because there are other similar libraries with MIT/BSD license and the corporations will use those (even if they are inferior to yours) to avoid paying you. Thus, the market for selling software like this has been eliminated and we're stuck selling subscription services.
>>> KrebsOnSecurity last month interviewed a victim who recently saw more than three million dollars worth of cryptocurrency siphoned from his account. That user signed up with LastPass nearly a decade ago, stored their cryptocurrency seed phrase there, and yet never changed his master password — which was just eight characters. Nor was he ever forced to improve his master password.

This does fascinate me. How many people who have won the crypto-lottery like that still keep invested? Is most of the crypto gain unrealised so far? Or most of it been drained out?

"I’ve had to go back and forth on the phone in a Kafka-hell to get my insurance to cover a covered visit because of some opaque clerical error"

the same happened to my ex. Something had gone wrong between hospital and insurance and both refused to fix it. Which left her in between trying to figure this out while trying to recover. It's really infuriating that they can treat people that way. Once you experience this together with billing for things that never happened and insurance refusing things they have to cover, you can only conclude that insurances and hospitals are basically fraudsters that for some reason are allowed to get away with it.

Anything that specifically needs a law passed to undo it is safer than one that can just have its budget ~zeroed out in the yearly budget, or any of the more-than-yearly CRs and debt-ceilings and whatever other nonsense negotiations.

This is for both reasons of public scrutiny (there's so much in the budget that it's easy for things to get relatively lost), but also because the budget, in practice, just needs 50+1 votes. Usual laws need 60 due to Senate procedures. Ignoring the House since there's not much difference there.

Of course it depends on the definition but none of the ones still in use consider it a prime.

It's kind of hard to nail down precisely why, the best I've been able to come up with is that Z/(p) is an integral domain for all primes p (and this is roughly equivalent to the definition of a prime) but not for p=1. Furthermore if you then plough on and redefine the Z/(1) i.e. zero ring to be an integral domain it becomes a pain to construct its field of fractions.

Arguably 0 is a better prime, as it is a prime element.
