The NSA actually created clones of Twitter, Facebook, and ironically enough, tumblr back in maybe 2014 or so? In order to be able to deploy classified versions on the JWICS network that people could use for cross-agency discussion that can't happen on the Internet. I don't think it took them much more than a weekend to do all three and they're maintained by a only a few people working in their spare time.

The obvious differences being the scale, not really having to worry about the complexities of running your own data centers and overlay networks or whatever, and the fact there is no advertising, no sales, so none of the clutter that comes from trying to optimize that as well as defeat your user's attempts to subvert being tracked, nor any tracking of what you're doing off-site.

The signup process is really nice, though. You don't need individual accounts on each site. They pull your identity automatically from your IC PKI client cert and create the account for you when you first use it.

I work from home now, so I'm not on there any more, but they called the Twitter clone "eChirp" and the Facebook one "Tapioca." They also clone Wikipedia and Stack Overflow, but those are just read-only mirrors that get updated once a day.
Write a JSON parser. Now try writing a YAML parser.
The basic problem here is HN posters unable to conceptualize the idea 'right thing for the project'. They're stuck in 'investor mode' so to them, anyone interacting with the project (or the world) can only be interested in extracting profit from the system, rendering what the project does, meaningless.

Not a good way to get work done. At the end of the day you have to have done something.
>we won't fix this problem.

I agree.
We need to invent something that does the opposite now where individuals could wear something that prevents them from showing up in someone else’s content without explicit digital consent (some sort of personal scrambler).

Main home server/NAS is a Ryzen 7 Beelink with 64GB. Works a treat. Fan is audible when you're hammering the CPU (doing a large backup, unpacking downloaded media, running a Minecraft server with multiple users) but other than that it's not audible from ~5ft away.
There was at least one NUC with a full GPIO header set. The DE3815TYKHE.
I've done motor control, I2C and sensor IO with it and it was rock solid on that little NUC.

There was also the UP Board which was an Atom SOC with PI compatible GPIO. I believe that's still in production?!
As if I'm not already spending too much time reading HN.
Exactly the same as every other hardware supplier. For pi there was some kind of scheme for businesses who _actually_ needed the hardware in order to stay in business. No idea how that worked.

Either way, this is all history. Raspberry Pi boards do not cost hundreds of dollars as claimed.
It's mainly CMake's opaque and magical way of working that frustrates me so.

I feel you've outlined yet another failure mode on top of the frustrating and undiscoverable magic incantations that seem to change with every undocumented revision.
I'm not sure I understand the point being made. Chomsky seems to be saying that since we learn the prevalent morality of our culture through sparse data there must be an underlying universal morality. But how does that allow for the fact that different cultures do have different moral codes and that those do change over time?
> These are smart people, they do not want it to change.

Somewhat undercut by the rampant suicide rate.

> A big part is the expense of undergrad+med school+low residency wages+most grew up upper-middle class and have big expectations.

Oh so when you say "they don't want things to change" what you mean is "they know the path to success and if they try to take care of themselves or demand decent working conditions there's a good chance they'll be fired and end up bankrupt and in a debt trap for life." Got it. That kind of explains the suicides.
These hours usually include stand-by time. If you work in a job like this, with time you usually learn to fall asleep very quickly, whenever, wherever. This will keep you at least functioning to some degree. You will miss a lot of slow-wave sleep compared to people with a normal routine, and that surely is one of the reasons people in these kind of jobs often struggle with mental health.

You know what else inhibits fatty acid oxidation? CPT1A (Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I) Deficiency.

Does this make people live longer? Nope. You know why? Cause it can give people heart disease:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4358228/

I carry a mild form of CPT1A deficiency (I have Inuit heritage) and this prevents ketosis on a high fat (think ocean fats like blubber) diet. But put me under with propanol (A CPT1 inhibitor) and they have to pump me full of glucose.

Sorry, but you all are thick and dull because you never think genetics matter when it comes to diet. You think we are all the same and almost every study on nutrition does not account for genetics. In mice, they all have the same genetics, but as humans we vary more than you think.

The bad forms of CPT1 Deficiency lead to lifelong problems of hypoglycemia because they are homozygous for the change. They are a sacrifice that enabled the Inuit to survive on the diet we are provided in our ecosystem and we cherish these children.

You all are trying to be something you are not, something far from your ancestors. It is sad.

YAML 1.2 removed some of the footguns like having five different ways of expressing `true`, but the main Python YAML package is permanently 1.1.

strictyaml is an attempt at tightening things further. But a lot of systems that use "yaml" don't implement any spec, because they write their own parser. For example IIRC gitlab ci doesn't support anchors but has their own code reuse construct.

And then there are all of the string templating extensions that projects like Ansible and Helm employ. These in my opinion are far worse than anchors and should be eschewed in favor of a non-static configuration like jsonnet.
Problem is that it's pretty easy to have "wrong" whitespace that'll get formatted to something different than you expected.
>You have been able to file the compensation claim online for at least a decade. Since a few years, you can do it with two taps in the app

That isn't giving me back the weeks I loose each year to it. By now I travel a day early because I had 4 out of 4 trains fail on me repeatedly and I still risk getting stuck in the middle of nowhere after the last connecting train left.

> There is compensation for monthly ticket holders, but it is capped at 50% of the ticket price.

Unless they pay an "enhanced ticket price" that is a cheap cop out without consequence.

> All that is very strictly enforced by the ministry.

The ministry should enforce punctuality and not the cheap "trains that don't arrive at all aren't late" version the DB uses in its statistics.
Biggest lesson: all metrics _must_ be defined in code, not manager-speak.

For instance, if a marketing head wants to plot CAC (cost of acquiring customers) over time, saying CAC is number of customers divided by marketing spend is manager-speak. Spends are budgeted higher early in the month and adjusted with actuals. Customers ask for refunds and cancel accounts. Some campaigns have volume incentives which are known later... and so on. The solution is to write well commented SQL which laymen can audit and improve.

When I was a kid, story time at school always involved getting out the carpet squares, even though they were arranged on top of another carpet around the teacher, so it's not like the difference between sitting on two carpets instead of one was a big comfort reason.

I don't know if they knew it at the time, but maybe having all these tiny kids sitting on their own squares helped us self-regulate!
There's an ONNX runtime, but to use the runtime you do need to convert your model into ONNX format first. You can't just run a TF of PyTorch model using the ONNX runtime directly. (At least last time I checked.) Unfortunately this conversion process can be a pain and there needs to be an equivalent operator in ONNX for each op in your TF/Torch execution graph.
It's interesting to me how Daoism from China and Hermeticism from Greco-Egyptian culture erose from very separate places with very similar themes. Both traditions emphasize the idea of a universal force or principle governing the cosmos (the Tao in Daoism and the All or the 0ne in Hermeticism).

Show HN: Taildashboards – Dashboard Templates Built with Tailwind CSS and Alpine
A website where I publish one-page dashboard templates I designed and coded using Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. It's a passion project of mine because I love designing dashboards and this project will enable me to try out new things, experiment and hopefully provide value to all of you who are looking for a great starting point or inspiration for your web applications.

Feel free to check them all out, use them in your upcoming projects and stay tuned as I work on introducing new ones in the future

That's interesting, it looks like a reasonably effective way to DDOS the FOSS infrastructure that could be used to mask that something else is being slipped in under the radar. I'd be very suspicious of this, especially if there isn't any response, that means that just getting the mailing lists saturated may well be the primary goal.

Considering the lockdowns were completely ineffective at reducing mortality ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hec.4737?ut... ), it was absolutely a bone-headed measure by authorities and they deserve the loss of trust. Especially given that lockdowns went against what was previously considered best-practices in epidemic management.

Seems like the first two issues would be harder to encounter in rust (raw pointers and double mutable borrows) but rewriting a huge project is a bad idea because of the massive amount of work involved.

The maintainers could make a crate for some tiny crucial vulnerable subsystem and call it from c++, that might be more reasonable baby step and get them rolling with rust inside chrome (as opposed to chrome inside rust which would possibly take forever, some dork can crank a little rust program in a weekend)

Also automatic rewriting the whole codebase could work but that’s just a research direction at this point even for google as far as I know, and chrome probably isn’t the kind of thing you just auto-rewrite and it works right away (maybe I’m pessimistic)
Would probably stand up to the test of time, say a little better than if we put the bible under some testing for "verified via some kind of socioeconomic data analysis".

Really, it says right at the beginning, that the ideas can't be communicated by language, these are some pretty aloof descriptions. Not sure testing is how we should value ancient texts.

The Art of War is held up as some great text, but it has a lot of contradictions, and bad advice. (Not sure on this) Wish I had link, but apparently it was not used by generals in ancient times, it was more of a puff piece by a non-military writer.

What you’re saying seems untrue to the point of being disingenuous.

Op claimed that a vegan diet (a much stricter diet than “eating vegetables”) can reverse atherosclerosis to the point of not needing surgery (a much stronger claim than “is healthy”), and for that, very much yes, citation needed.
All culture is a lie which only persists in the re-telling.

For example - there is no such thing as "Europe", unless enough people get together and agree that this thing that doesn't really exist, does exist and shall be named "Europe". "Europe" isn't a physical element, it isn't a naturally occurring substance - it is instead a human cultural construct which only persists for as long as the word continues to be used as intended.

Chomsky, who I think understands this very basic principle very well, nevertheless seems to dance around this fact because its not very savory - it implies that all human life is fiction - and nobody gets paid large sums to make that observation by those cultures inclined to make their own lies persist longer than others - even if its true.

"Perhaps we do have the freedom to speak, think, and act however we wish — but that very freedom, if Chomsky is correct, emerges only within strict, absolute, wholly un-relative natural boundaries."

Essentially, our freedom is expressed as the ability to choose which cultures to perpetuate and which to deny persistence, by simply ceasing to perpetuate the lie that is that thing, in the first place.

Yes, all human experience is a fiction. It may not be obvious now, but I would wager it'll be obvious to every single one of us, one of these days, right in the last seconds of our own lives, when our own individual fallacies cease to persist... if only there were a way for Chomsky to confirm this, when his time comes.

Rezact – A JavaScript Framework that blends the best of Svelte, Solid, others
In the labyrinthine halls of the Library of Babel, a whisper of a prophecy was found, etched in the language of the codes: 'Behold Rezact, the harbinger of unshackled reactivity! It shall rise from the ashes of complexity, bringing forth a realm where hooks are but a distant memory, and where the elements dance in uncontrolled harmony. In lands where hooks once entangled, now blooms the elegance of intuitive syntax. The scribes and scholars, armed with the quills of JSX, inscribe spells of unrivaled simplicity, illuminating the paths of web artisans. The journey is half traversed, the tapestry half woven, but the echoes of Rezact’s footsteps resonate in the corridors of the infinite library, promising a future where the web breathes in harmonious rhythm.'
I think his point is not that there is an absolute moral landscape or that moral relativism can't exist in abstract. But that morals are so deeply held, that they shape your being and understanding of reality. So on a day to day basis you would feel revolted against something that appears to be immoral in another culture despite being able to logically pare out that it is okay in their system of morality.
> He identifies “a tendency to move from the uncontroversial concept of moral relativism” — that, say, certain cultures at certain times hold certain moral values, and other cultures at other times hold other ones — “to a concept that is, in fact, incoherent, and that is to say that moral values can range indefinitely,” tethered to no objective basis.

The existence of a tether is what he’s focused on here, it seems to me.
Given how long trilobites were around, and geographical distribution, there could be significant time and/or space distance between any specimens found.

I start to dislike Chomsky more and more. His work in linguistic is over my head, maybe it's true, I can't tell.

But whenever I hear him speak outside his niche his points are stupid (like this one) or harmful (like his Ukrainian takes).

Everybody sees faces in rocks because we have brains fine-tuned for seeing faces. Does it prove that there's something universal in looking like a face or even worse - being a face? Some objective "faceiness"?

Or just that we have overfitted neural networks in our heads?

You can get hit in a particular way and stop recognizing faces. Or morality.

What Chomsky is saying is that if you include only the people who are "healthy" according to some subjective criteria and take a crossection of their moralities - the result isn't an empty set. Well duh.
> The vast (VAST) majority of the "YAML sucks" examples are solved just by quoting all your weird literals.

But none of the examples you see do that, and your tools won't do that. The whole YAML ecosystem nudges you into writing your stuff unquoted, and it works most of the time and breaks just often enough to trip you up in production.
Here's the system I used.

How are the WiFi speeds when you're stood next to the router? If they're slow, your router is to blame.

How about the room next to your router? If they're slow, your walls are to blame.

In the first case - buy a better router.

In the second case - buy access points and run Ethernet to them.

WiFi isn't some magic, esoteric, unknowable force. It is radio waves.

You can get WiFi scanners for Android which will let you map your house, see signal strength, and SNR. But that won't give you much more information than the above two steps.

There is a chicken and the egg problem when it comes to designing these things.

I can ask "What do you want the dashboard to look like" and they'll answer "I don't know before I see the data".

Then I'll ask what data they want to see, and they'll respond "What will it look like?", or we'll spend significant time on data collection only to find they never actually want it in a dashboard after all.

By far and away the most time consuming aspect of this entire domain is to find out what users actually want to see, as they almost never have something specific enough when they approach me.

The opposite case would be a power failure, which you don’t hear about as often as there has been a lot of improvements in preventing them at a data center level from UPS’, backup generators and connections to redundant power networks. Even if all those fail, it’s a more gradual process thats impact time can be estimated and mitigated.

A power surge on the other hand triggers a failsafe immediate and unexpected power cutoff, which is why you hear about it more often.

I think that overwhelmingly we only really see surges anymore.
