He had the credit amongst those who were paying attention. It wasn't like this was done in secret. Others chimed in to agree that the maintainers commit was better. So the only credit he didn't get was a commit credit which is important to be a "Linux Contributor" which clearly explictly wrote was the reason they asked for their commit to be used or to work on another patch.

I think it would be odd to disbelieve the author.
> The beauty of a free market system is that if you feel that way, that the union bring mediocrity, you're not forced to deal with them.

This explains the decline of unions in general. Its also tough when the president of the US is on the picket line and your industry depends on a federal bailout every decade or so. But that's a while different story...

> Not sure why you think non-union jobs are immune to cronyism and gatekeeping.

Other places are not immune and if someone wants to hire their family member at an above market rate, he is free to do so. But it may raise a few eyebrows from greedy business owners. But paying above market rates is not by design. I would still like to know what to do if you have 100 equally qualified people trying to get the same over paid position. How do you decide?

> Do you honestly think that the situation would be any different if police were non-union?

Absolutely. You don't see non unionized industries protecting workers to an extreme degree. Why would they? The whole premise behind unions is that management is not always aligned with workers interests. But now you're telling me managers would protect literal murderers just because? It's not consistent

I pay for Google Photos additional drive space. I back up favorite photos and videos to Apple iCloud.

The primary reason I use Google Photos is that I have android smart TVs. With android smart TVs, during the ambience screen saver mode... I can choose which Google Photo album to display. That is I use my smart TVs to display my photos. Unfortunately, they do not display the videos.

My parents also have a google nest hub. I also set that up to display the same google photos albums.

Of course! Who will keep the hordes of dimwits and dilettantes and LinkedIn jockeys at bay, if not those whose merit has already been proven?
>Aren't those like $500 a pop? Handing out that kind of dough for a keyboard sounds like the opposite of stopping being much into keyboards.

A keyboard can last 20+ years, while a computer around 5 years before it becomes obsolete, more or less. People buy other keyboards because it’s missing something. The kinesis while not perfect is the best keyboard you can buy without building your own from scratch. Nothing comes close, except datahand, but they don’t make those anymore. I stopped buying keyboards after the kinesis.
But they're still in the US and paying near identical wages to UAW plants so it's not unions "ever demanding higher wages" that makes the difference.

But maybe not forever since the UAW strike those unionized workers might gasp make the same amount they did pre-inflation in real dollars. The greedy bastards not taking a pay cut while the cost of the cars go up and those companies make
record profits. Won't you think of the poor owners who are demanding higher returns, I think we can all sacrifice for them.
It used to fly very close to over our family house when I was growing up. At about 6pm a few times a week iirc. It was very noticeably louder than other aircraft.
I wonder how much of the car robberies are mentally ill people? I wonder how much of the shop lifting is mentally ill people? Hiding actual criminals behind a group that does deserve help while doing nothing to protect your every day populace is absurd. It's not just hiding social problems from rich people, it's protecting the shift worker who's car window just got smashed for the 3rd time in a year and really can't afford that shit.
> to dig yourself out of the hole of “I’m too busy and there’s nobody around to help”, you have to slow down and do this

Exactly! If you treat new contributors as crap because you are overworked, you will push away potential long-term collaborators who could share the load thus ensuring you will be working alone far into the future. This is a failure state and if I had a manager doing that to those he was managing, he wouldn't be a manager for long.
Here is the chart. I wouldn't call $3B/year in 2012 dollars an extravagant amount of spending for a program, which is the level the authors call "moderate."

Even with unions King County already does 3 year "temporary" contract positions for all new hires in some departments, and the City of Seattle is driving a hard line of only a 2% COLA increase in contract negotiations.

Outside of the SPD Guild, unions don't have much leverage to retain underperforming employees. Document the failure to perform a handful of times and that employee will be gone, with at most a grievance filed where you get to reiterate how they repeatedly failed to deliver at work.
I don't need a redundant set of numeric keys on the right side of the keyboard for the same reason I don't need a redundant set of vowels on the left side of the board.

I've breastfed multiple children with ups and downs of it being easy and hard, suffered through the struggle of learning to do it the first time as postpartum mother after major surgery, through teething, latch issues, biting, pure physical exhaustion, and the transition of going back to work that leads to decreased supply. I've watched close friends that have struggled with production with underweight, premature babies pump like crazy and feel stressed out trying to get their supply up but ultimately transition to formula on the advice of doctors. My own anxiety around combination feeding and not feeling like I had a clear understanding of differences in the microbiome with a surgical birth or formula use lead to me reading everything I could find to gain a better understanding of the differences in outcomes for exclusive breastfeeding, combination and formula feeding.

We can close the gaps by subsidizing Evivo's EVC001 b. infantis and making it a standard that every formula contains 2'FL. Individuals can choose these formulas and purchase b. infantis already. If we were to make it so that all babies, not just NICU babies at hospitals aware of the research, get these two things, public health outcomes (especially those related to autoimmune conditions) should be better than if we continue allowing formula that is not as analogous with breastmilk. We can have better lactation support that is current and evidence based (such as that from ABM contributor Katrina Mitchell https://physicianguidetobreastfeeding.org).

Another reason mom blogs are toxic is because people read past others points when issues are really emotionally charged for them. Really sorry your wife struggled. Formula is fine, but there are reasons breastmilk is pushed, especially since milk is supply and demand and it's hard to identify those with true low supply and those whose bodies just haven't ramped up production yet. Hopefully as a model of immune system response and the impact of b. infantis and HMOs gains more awareness, there will be less pressure since we are assured babies are getting many of the same benefits.
I think everybody should try a less subtle playthrough at least once, though. Some of the game's funniest dialogue results from playing JC as a big dumb oaf.

> * Results show up in the phone app in < 24 hours. (Machine modem -> cell network -> provider -> app instead of machine -> app, which I think explains the delay)

Unfortunately it doesn't work in Europe :(. I have a second CPAP (airsense) and I can't complete the app syncing/registration because I am not registered with any provider in the US.

edit: I looked at the airsense 11, not the same model so maybe that changed but I doubt it.

edit 2: data can be extracted though, either with official resmed Windows application or third party (see replies).
The way I read the article, "live near your friends" means "within 10 minute walk of them", not "20 minute drive". I live 5 minutes walk away from a very close friend of mine, and 10-20 mins from some others. With the closest one, "hey, have you had dinner?" text turns into "cool, same spot, i'll see you in 10 minutes?" at least once a week. That's on top of planned long-term activities.

I understand I am very privileged, but we actually made effort to live near each other. Well, it definitely helps that it's a dense neighbourhood of an actual city and not a suburb. It's hard to plan it out, but worth it.
That particular example seems to be entirely the fault of a CEO who was terrible at his job.
I found this one interesting because we so often hear space colonization described as an alternative, viable or not, to environmental reform at home.

I took a class on geoengineering which got me thinking about what it would take to make plastic/metal sunshades on an asteroid and was amused that the chemistry involved is very similar to chemistries involved with green energy, not-so-green energy (e.g. "coal gas") and carbon capture and utilization.

A successful colony on Mars or an asteroid (really Ceres is a lot more interesting than Mars I think) would involve establishing a completely circular economy and if you can do that there you can do that here.

It is a good scenario for science fiction that space colonists would be utterly contemptuous of wasteful Earthlings and might just decide to do us in. It could be a good case against space colonization that we could create our own "hostile aliens" who would strike at us in a few 100 years.
The other thing to remember is that if YOU do an event, and invite 10 people, that is ten invites. Everyone will receive more invites than they can accept, it's normal.
This isn't true. All hardware is swappable between boots. I've moved a root disk from one case to an entirely new case before, replacing literally every hardware component except the root volume but keeping the same OS. Not only is enumeration requires at boot, but event handlers for hot-swapping need to be available at all times. Users expect to be able to plug in and out USB devices, network cables, monitors, keyboards, and have it all just work.

Presumably, most faster boot OSes simply don't support as many devices. Amazon was able to get Firecracker to boot Linux damn near instantly by pretty much removing all hardware support from the kernel since they know for sure it's only ever running as a VM on a hypervisor they strictly control and won't change.

If you know for sure the devices you need, you can compile the kernel yourself and remove all the stuff you don't need and possibly even get rid of udev and just hardcode what it normally detects.

I think part of the confusion is that there's the feature "Control Center" and the process controlcenter so you would reasonably think it's only involved in the marketing feature's UI.
I don't own any revenue generating websites, but I do feel like the content I create is useful. I'd rather have GPT slurp it up with the hope of some small piece of me being emitted now or in the future for others to benefit from.

I'm sure my perspective would be different if I was paying my employees to create unique content for our brand, though.

I'm not sure though. At the end of the day, I think I'd rather information to be free. But that's not a sustainable model in many industries.
None of the things are shown to be purposely done to hurt sellers.

Specifically, most of the quotes from Amazon seemed to be analysis they were doing about the same points. X% of purchases happen in the buybox. Y% of purchasers don't make it to page 2. In both of these, it is easy to imagine that Amazon was doing what they can to increase those numbers. They would not be doing things to reduce purchases, which is largely implied by the malicious implications. (Indeed, most of that is the internet learning about "below the fold" which has been well known in retail for a long time.)

Stated differently, to counter your point, Amazon only needs to show that it is selling more from more sellers to claim that they are driving more competition and fostering competition. That is almost certainly going to be an easy thing for them to prove. They aren't punishing sellers by pushing them to page 2. They are increasing sales by getting more likely purchases onto page 1.

Do I think this is healthy? Not really. That more low quality things make page 1 is frustrating to me and feels unhealthy. Is it frustrating that Amazon can probably increase sales of a low quality thing by putting the Amazon Basics label on it? Yeah, it is. Question is if that is stealing more sales from sellers than the other low quality items are already stealing. (It also begs the question that the Basics label is low quality.)
Damnit. There goes my last holdout hope for exotic matter capable of powering the Alcubierre drive.

Guess we're stuck here now.

Show HN: Rust based log analytics with Parquet on S3
For write once, read many, immutable data types, Parquet on S3 is one of the most economical and scale approach.

Every organisation I have talked to, in the last few years has attempted some form of Parquet on S3 implementation.

However, these initiatives face challenges in standardising the approach for both ingesting and querying the data. Data quality, data governance and access control - everything becomes a challenge.

We at Parseable are taking the Parquet on S3 approach and making it into an Enterprise grade product. Integrate easily with existing log agents and libraries. Built-in RBAC and user management. OIDC integration. Seamless querying by SQL. Built-in console to query and analyse this data. And much more.

Please take a look!
> but isn't it rational to be a bit worried about this?

About as rational as worrying that my toddler will google "boobies", which is to say, being worried about something that will likely have no negative side effect. (Visual video porn is a different story, however. But there's at least some evidence to support that early exposure to that is bad. Plain nudity though? Nothing... Look at the entirety of Europe as an example of what seeing nudity as children does.)

Information is not inherently bad. Acting badly on that information, is. I may already know how to make a bomb, but will I do it? HELL no. Are you worried about young men dealing with emotional challenges between the ages of 16 and 28 causing harm? Well, I'm sure that being unable to simply ask the AI how to help them commit the most violence won't stop them from jailbreaking it and re-asking, or just googling, or finding a gun, or acting out in some other fashion. They likely have a drivers' license, they can mow people down pretty easily. Point is, there's 1000 things already worse, more dangerous and more readily available than an AI telling you how to make a bomb or giving you written pornography.

Remember also that the accuracy cost in enforcing this nanny-safetying might result in bad information that definitely WOULD harm people. Is the cost of that, actually greater than any harm reduction from putting what amounts to a speed bump in the way of a bad actor?
Feds sue eBay over alleged sales of products violating environmental laws
Zero awe. This week so far it can't find an import of a type in Next.js and it can't get the user object from a session. Next.js is one of the most popular FE frameworks in the world. It lied about both, repeatedly giving wrong answers.

Here is my previous experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34648167 with it not being able to do basic tasks.

It's all fun and games until the mistakes start having a cost.

Other examples: I resorted to using it to order lists for me or adding quotes and commas to them for SQL inserts and such. Nope - when I look at the row count, it somehow drops values at random.
As SV_BubbleTime said, that is nonsense no matter how often the claim is repeated.

I'll give two more examples. Voter ID is uncontroversial everywhere in Europe and Canada. Formerly government-run postal services have long since been privatized almost everywhere in Europe, while no one advocates doing so with the USPS (despite the TDS-driven hysteria over the so-called sabotaging of same in 2020).
Hooray. Now I can run WebGPU ML on a cloudflare worker using Burn framework in Rust (https://github.com/burn-rs/burn). Burn has WebGPU backend in Rust.
I see conventions like that as an acknowledgement that Rails often gives up purity in favour of simplicity. It makes this decision quite often, primarily because it works for Basecamp, but also it keeps the mental model simple, especially for juniors learning the ropes.

I've not seen many places that actually use it. Instead there are several other layers of patterns that try to keep things decoupled but introduce a different kind of complexity. And the implementation is different every time (Ruby devs love their custom service/command DSLs).
"Dad died of a heart attack last night, guess we'll never know why"

Health is something that is not just in the doctors purview these days. You can personally buy any number of electronic devices that monitor things like blood oxygen and how often you're waking up that will give you some idea of your sleep quality and likelihood of having apena.

Or, you can be a cynical old fart and continue accepting that dying at 60 of a heart attack is perfectly normal.

Not everything is a vast conspiracy.
The logic is that fiat money continually loses value due to inflation, which means that most people want to avoid it if they had the option. The stability that the central bank guarantees is that the currency will continue decrease in value, until it becomes exponential and out of control. Then a currency reform is conducted. The central banks do not try to hide that their goal is inflation, although they aren't very honest about the rate of inflation.

I'd say there would be no demand at all for government fiat currency, unless they forced people to use it. In ancient Rome the emperor just diluted the silver coins with other metals and tried to force people to accept it at face value. Then in much of history there was no fiat money to speak of, rulers demanded their tributes in gold or hard goods. But if you demand tributes (taxes) in a currency that only you emit, there will be a demand on that currency.

In the real world, we see this in many countries in the world, where as the government does not tightly control the population and their tax payments, they are not able to protect the value of their currency, and their people will use foreign fiat currency as much as they can.
I actually did , and yes it's extremely challenging and can be rather rage inducing; "it doesn't work" --> what doesn't work --> "the thing" --> what thing --> ∞ ...

But the thing is conversations like the above ie. both external support and internal feature requests could theoretically be handled by a GPT-like system also ending up in a ai created custom specification that could both be implemented and documented by the ai system instead of humans?

I know we're a few versions out, but still.

Celebrating 25 years of Google Search: developer trends and history
My daily driver was a used T530 from 2012 - it was the version that had the best GPU. It was a hefty machine. I used to always tell friends - if I ever dropped it on the floor, I'm checking the floor first for damage.

I used to push that machine like crazy. My greatest achievement was running Fallout New Vegas on it. I put everything as low as possible, and installed mods to remove extra things from rendering. When I would stare out at a desert I would see absolutely nothing - all the rocks and trees were removed. My other greatest achievement was getting Metro 2033 running as well.

For both games it made my poor T530 sound like a jet engine.

All that being said, I always wish I bought a X220. The repairs seem a lot easier. Taking apart my T530 to clean the fans was much, much more difficult than doing the same for an MBP Unibody 2012.

I've since purchased an M1 MBP off of a college kid. He bought the MBP so that he wouldn't game, and then he sold it to me because he wanted to game.

I miss Linux and my thinkpad though. This post is really getting me thinking of buying a thinkpad again.
