I strongly recommend the audiobooks of Iain Banks work as read by Peter Kenny or Anton Lesser.

Absolute genius, the best audiobooks I’ve heard behind Nicol Williamsons The Hobbit.

In particular, listen to Excession and The Algebraist.

I never tire of the audiobook of the Algebraist, amazing.

Anton Lesser reading The Algebraist is the strongest case for why AI should never be used for narrating audiobooks.
The way I think about that is simply - the Culture is what I'd want to happen, the Polity is what I'd expect to happen.

Banks had grander ideas, Asher has better world building (I'd argue his world building is as good or better than any other sci-fi author - the world of Spatterjay particularly).

Having read both series completely multiple times I'd struggle to choose which I prefer (and happily I don't have to).
Perhaps.

Thing is, https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/670bc0a46c4ca03b75f1e72f73... is using https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs which features code like `out, err := zfsOutput("get", "-H", key, d.Name)` (Source: https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs/blob/master/zfs.go#L315) to get a single zfs property.

Somebody chose to use a library as abstraction that looks good but is implemented as a MVP (nothing wrong with that). "In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs" should have raised an alarm somewhere, though.
"The state of personalized recommendations is surprisingly terrible. At this point, the top recommendation is always a clickbait rage-creating article about movie stars or whatever Trump did or didn't do in the last 6 hours."

"There's no magic here. If you use ML to teach a computer how to sort through resumes, it will recommend you interview people with male, white-sounding names, because it turns out that's what your HR department already does. If you ask it what video a person like you wants to see next, it will recommend some political propaganda crap, because 50% of the time 90% of the people do watch that next, because they can't help themselves, and that's a pretty good success rate."
It’d be more helpful if you actually said what you wanted, instead of writing "I would say it but […]".
This becomes Phildickian, when e.g. the "tyrant" is a doorknob.

Bear in mind that this was written in 1969. Smart doorknobs were not a thing then, but PKD went right to the "pay per use", a robot programmed to lawfully exploit the common guy, situation.

What if the value thus unlocked doesn’t get passed on to the end customers and instead goes to a few share holders/owners?

Yes? Of course? Up here in Canada, the CPI is adjusted from spending surveys:

* https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/survey/household/3508

When people change their habits in life the CPI is changed to reflect what that life costs. You can see the list of changes going back to 1913:

* https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/statistical-programs/document/2...

Do you think coal and lard should be included, like they were pre-1956? Or do you think the CPI should try to model reality?

> CPI is structurally biased to report lower inflation.

Quite the opposite. In the 1990s the Boskin Commission found that CPI was too high:

> The Boskin Commission, formally called the "Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index", was appointed by the United States Senate in 1995 to study possible bias in the computation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is used to measure inflation in the United States. Its final report, titled "Toward A More Accurate Measure Of The Cost Of Living" and issued on December 4, 1996, concluded that the CPI overstated inflation by about 1.1 percentage points per year in 1996 and about 1.3 percentage points prior to 1996.

That is totally fine. I was talking about people who CANNOT do a bash for/while loop. You are talking about people who CAN do a bash for/while loop but choose not to. We are talking about different types of people. I am comfortable with the latter type of people administrating my servers. I am not comfortable about the former.

Anyway, what has that got to do with my point though that sharing pictures on social media is not a meaningful comparison to make with something like administrating servers?
They should be ordered to pay over 45% of their annual revenue.

They think charging business 30% of their revenue is completely acceptable, so a fine must be something above that number.

Any fine on revenue below 30% is just a cost of doing business.

I have the first one, it’s good I enjoy it. Great recommendation.
Brazil has a similar law and to be honest, it's much better (that you don't get campaign ads shoved onto you a few days before election). We just don't have the part that forbids sharing election results, as its coverage is done by media outlets country-wide, even before all the ballots have closed.
Tell HN: Personal page title is most probably incorrect
"What is a good title?" - I asked this myself today when processing hundreds of thousands of domains.

- You would not believe how many personal sites are entitled "Blog", or "Home", or None at all, or just a one simple word
- Why am I expecting description inside you ask? Maybe because when going into a library I would not expect 50% of books with title "A book", or maybe I am just wrong
- For example Mozilla serves as a good example: "Internet for people, not profit — Mozilla (US)". It clearly defines the page goal

Do you know about how to 'rank a page'? In my software (work after hours) I check:

- if page has title

- if page has description

- if page has og:title

- if page has og:description

- if page returns valid code (redirection reduces page ranking)

- if page contains robots.txt (a good page should contain that)

What additional things I could check to rank a page myself? Is there any diagram, information?

Happened to me years ago with a Windows 10 update which made it crash all the time on my desktop. Reinstall didn't help because the installation image of course already included the update so it was broken from the start. I don't use Windows anymore either, its stability was the one feature that had kept me from switching away for years.

Google has been doing this in search as well. Not sure where the comedy is.

On top of that they peddled their browser in all their products (gmail, youtube, maps, docs, ...), claiming better and faster experience, more features. Sometimes they had to check user agent to deliver worse experience to make that claim truthful.
Because the browser is the gateway to things like search. And thats the gateway to a lot of things.

It is only anecdotal evidence of course but I went for 24 hours a week back in 2019 and my employer (a ~unicorn scale-up in the Amsterdam region) was not fussed about it at all.

I'm a software dev and was one of the two employees with in-depth knowledge about a crucial part of the stack, so I had more leverage than most, but still the response was so much "yeah of course, we have to allow this by law" that I would be surprised if any of my colleagues would have had a different response.

Surprised at all the praises here. Sure, it's cool tech. Sure, it could cut down on updates users have to do/approve/wait for after unboxing.

But sheeshj, one can't build a phone, install software on it, have it sit on a shelf for a bit, and then work as advertised without updating immediately after purchase? Latest iPhones don't sit on shelves that long, do they?

Yeah, I know how it works these days. Like with AAA game releases where people are downloading GB-sized updates a day after release.

But this isn't something to be proud of! If anything, it shows the sorry state of current-day software development & deployment practices.

tar is just the way you pack multiple files and directories into one file, you can pipe the tar file through any compression algorithm you like it doesn't matter.
The tar command has many compression options builtin https://man.archlinux.org/man/tar.1#Compression_options
And you can also specify any compression program you like through `-I CMD` e.g. `-I "zstd -10"` would compress the tar archive with zstd and compression level 10.

Antitrust legislation will only be waived in front of big tech until they agree to cooperate with the government's interests. At the moment, this means content censorship and backdoors, both of which they are complying with as far as we can see.

Yet I still cannot import anything like in the old editor (e.g. markdown), adding images in lists was added two years after forcing switching to the new editor and you still cannot continue numbered lists in another item line and have to start over.

Extensions exist to do this but these things should be standard in any editor.
And exactly none of them were used on contemporary machines that PKZIP ran on.

I spent the last 1.5 years making Windows a good development environment (supported by a home lab/san that is pure linux,) but I am increasingly frustrated at the user hostility from Microsoft.

So, Linux it is.
How to create MVP as fast as possible
yo everyone,

as the title said, I wanna know what's the best solution to make your mvp version in a quicker timeline as a developer.

what I usually do is using a pre-made component library for the ui and do copy paste, so my ui is built in 1 day max and for the back-end I try to keep it very basic (only a simple express server)

what about you ?

is there any better solution ?

We always thought dangerous AIs will be funded by the military, or out of internal R&D budgets of evil multinational megacorps-that-do-everything. Turns out instead it's all been funded by grifters and scammers, both large and small. Literally. It's not DARPA or some Umbrella Corporation, but the advertising companies that did all the AI R&D, while shitcoiners spent a decade unintentionally funding the hardware AI needs.

Strange reality we live in.
The newcomers will have to start a new movement and make EU change it or exit EU. EU is very bad if your country suddenly wants to be a something completely different for a few years for example, it’s much more accommodating to gradual changes over the years.

> they were trying to win some mindshare by doing something progressive sounding, but they had no real intention of following through to make tangible changes

That’s the malice you are assuming. And the idea that the voice is no tangible change when it was decried by the previous government as too radical beggars belief. The voice was to be the body to create the basis for negotiations for a treaty between the Commonwealth and the First Nations of Australia.

The campaigners aren’t stupid. They aren’t lazy.

Sometimes we disagree with people. Sometimes people are wrong. Success has papered over a thousand would be defeats. The best-laid schemes of mice and men, go oft awry, and leave us nothing but grief and pain, for promised joy.

The idea that the yes campaign and the government weren’t seriously committed to getting this across the line is laughable. They were simply wrong about the assumptions they were working under. Assumptions that are commonly held in Australia.

The referendum was the culmination of a process that began in 2015 when Turnbull was Prime Minister. That’s 3 Federal Elections (and prime ministers) ago. It has been through councils, reports, a convention.

They didn’t run the campaign you think they should have. They didn’t run the campaign I think they should have. That doesn’t mean it was a mess of lazy idiots making the wrong decision at every turn.

Ads are like 98% of Google revenue, but only around 5% of Microsofts. Microsoft could practically kill Google if they joined Apples privacy crusade.

That's probably what I don't get, why is Microsoft even trying to be in the ad business? Sure there's money to be made, but there's also money in used cars. They are inherently a software company, while Google is a adtech company who happens to build software to support that business at a huge scale.
