Sorry for the derail!

bogrep + everything (windows filesystem search) + the screenshot "service" - i'm about 80% sure it was a service and not self-hosted - would completely obviate the need to remember anything ever again! It would also eliminate the hassle of firefox or chrome "forgetting" my bookmarks every few years in an apparently random fashion.

I've been having HN "dropbox" moments about this... how hard can it be? I've hacked together OCR to use my phone to control my icom ic-7100 - the person who makes/sells the bluetooth serial ports compatible with icom Ci-V was out during the pandemic, and before, when i needed one, so i wired a raspberry pi to the Ci-V port, enabled BT file transfers on the pi, and using repeaterbook on the phone with GPS i could find the info page for a nearby repeater, do the 2 finger screenshot, hit share, and the pi would OCR it and get the frequency and offset. I never bothered to extract the PL tone frequency, because my radio can find that quickly on an active repeater.

So there's a workflow, and i have spare machines to do the OCR and inserting into solr (or whatever).

Cisco bought Kent Dybvig's company some years back and open sourced Chez Scheme (they likely have more profitable products than a performant Scheme compiler and don't need the thousands they could make on such a product).

Moving away from the GPL is a very bad idea for such critical component. Exactly for the reason you give.

And I rarely choose Google.
Considering it's literally the only widely available vehicle in that price range, why would you expect such a thing? The price is so low in big part because it has such characteristics such as low range. Also, the market for it is short range day commute and related trips, for which the range is sufficient.

When once I was deregistered from an address (Abmeldung), the German bank instantly went apeshit hysterical with "Are you American?" letters. At least half dozen of them ignoring all of my previous responses or feedback. Of course I have nothing to do with US and none of my personal details indicate that I do, I'm fully EU person.
For sure! But that mistake has already been made, and has been in the wild for years, so removing those features (and proposing yourself as a replacement for the original) is now a breaking change
It is interesting to note that even the KMT is (overall) not seeking reunification with China, nor is the DPP seeking official recognition of Taiwan as an independent country at the expense of peace. What seems to be a consensus here is that the Taiwanese are better off keeping the status quo, with the cursor for political division being swaying more towards China or more towards the west.

The only way I can explain the narrative of the left in France (for instance JL. Mélenchon), the UK (Craig Murray etc.), the US (Noam Chomsky): absolute anti-Americanism and a pinch of racism, the locals are simply too dumb to know what is in their best interest. The Taiwanese have built a very progressive and open society against all odds and against everyone, it should be obvious that they are perfectly capable of not being dragged in a war they don't want.
These pedantic “when I saw X instead of Y I assumed Z” are the most annoying comments on this website.

My trauma really isn't healable, on top of just getting a healthy dose of Fresh trauma a few weeks ago.

Honestly, DID isn't meant to be cured and coping sort of just consists of accepting that this is your life now. Now, I did a lot more than that because I encouraged plurality and allowed each identity to express themselves and have fun lives, and that's honestly probably the best coping that could have been done. Living life as multiple is just different.

Some people are able to integrate and become just one person, but I would rather die than do that. Being multiple is my identity. Without that, I'd be lost.
No market is free when a monopolist controls it.

For a market to be free, there must be actual competition. If the goal is to keep the market free, then the role of the government is to intervene to ensure a state of competition when such state does not exist.

If the goal is not to have a free market, then the role of government is to intervene and regulate the monopoly/oligopoly to ensure that people's constitutional rights are preserved and the monopoly is not used to obtain additional power or additional monopolies. AT&T was such a monopoly for many decades. They were prohibited from entering other businesses as it would just result in them expanding their monopoly.
Could be, yes. It's nice to see stuff that is not sponsored by some VPN, and has no "like, subscribe, etc" in it (although I understand why people do that).

Also, for me, there is a real-life Minecraft feel to it all. I guess it is 'experimental archaeology', in a sense?
> For me the most important is the kernel, the xorg, the WM, the infrastructure so to speak. And then if I run an app image on top with let's say Freecad, I don't mind.

The way I see it Freecad - the thing that you're actually doing something with on the computer - is the point, the kernel and all the rest of it are just there to support that.

> Also I make use of running software in docker a lot.

Yeah, I didn't put it in my list but that's another one I see a lot.
Pretty sure it was tongue-in-cheek observation, not an insult
The issue is that make(1) has lots of functionality... none of which is present here.

In other words, make(1) does a lot of things, one of which is to run shell commands. If this the only thing you care about and your project offers, it would be better expressed as "Pythonic way to run commands" or something, with no mention of make.

I basically had to disable entire VS Code. Didn't remove it yet and keep it just in case I need to remember how crappy it's. It has some advantages over neovim though, but they don't outhweigh neovim.
You can think of Dolt as having 4 layers to it. From the top-most interface to the bottom:

Vitess (Handles Wire Protocol)

go-mysql-server (GMS, Implementation of MySQL featureset)

Dolt GMS interface

Storage Engine

DoltgreSQL, right now, shares the storage engine, interface, and a portion of GMS. This is primarily to get something up and running so that we're able to further iterate on a "working" product (i.e. something we can set up testing for). I envision that GMS will split into three, with a MySQL & PostgreSQL core interacting with a base SQL core. Dolt's GMS interface would then adapt to the base SQL core interface. The storage engine is more-or-less set in stone.
This may not be exactly what you’re asking about: in my mind, a realistic and practical solution is to have large language models do the search, look up many of the top hits, avoiding the advertisements and clear SEO, and then report back with any actual hits for your personalized search. Indexing the web is not that hard if you don’t have to give a perfect solution as the first answer because there is an LLM that can do the selection at a second stage. Furthermore, a lot of the trivial search is not a search for new things but a knowledge lookup for which there are also better solutions once you can combine LLM in the mix.

Failure is always an option. Some of his earlier designs for furnaces, huts, methods didn't pan out and the next iteration explained why and what he fixed. I think that's really valuable.
"It's not like they lost anything"

If you read about the original incident, linked in another comment:

https://www.newsweek.com/2015/04/03/manipulating-wikipedia-p...

it means they lost the power to use Wikipedia to promote another scam. The original account was no troll doing it for the lulz, they were after money and possibly actually a group of people. So either this revelation is now fake for whatever reason, or there is more going on. In either case, all of the activity of said admin (Lourdes) should probably be looked at with concern. Possible other scams to be found.
I hope so. As much as I don't really care for that man, Starlink has been an absolute gamechanger. It's much faster & more stable than anything including 3/4/5g in my region. It hasn't gone down even once on my roof even in really bad weather. Allows me to live in nature comfortably.

Indeed, as I keep on saying, we are not entitled for their work. However, attempting to draw good will by appropriating the meaning of the term is, to borrow an expression from Bryan Cantrill's amazing Lisa '11 talk about Illumos [1], "Shitting in the pool of open source and disgusting corporate behaviour". Shame on Facebook, 01-AI, and everyone else that keeps on doing this.

I love the fact that he goes through all that and discovers that it's less effective and unergonomic. Most other channels would've scrapped the video and found something "good" to show. I appreciate people dealing with reality.

Virtually never in practice (they are corrected) if you use ECC. A server that doesn't is weird. TBH any computer that doesn't is weird but the industry seems to consider it normal to have random computational unreliability because of that pretty much only unprotected component (Ram without ECC) in consumer hw.

The (now deleted) comment poking fun at the German minimum wage is especially funny if you consider how anti-union Tesla is and that the German industrial union IG Metall only last month managed to get into Tesla, despite the management's best efforts.

The minimum wage in Germany is €12/h (Oct 2022), compared to $7.25/h in the US (2009). When introduced in 2015 the German minimum wage was €8.50/h. If it had only ever been adjusted for inflation, it would have been at €10.05/h at the start of 2023. By contrast, if the US minimum wage had been adjusted for inflation following its last adjustment in 2009, it would have been at $10.40/h by now. Remember that anything less than correcting for inflation represents an income reduction as it means a loss of spending power.

For additional context: in German law, minimum wage is tied to a representative index of union wages (the Tariflohnindex, tracked by the federal office of statistics). Despite an overall decline in membership (mostly due to the "liberalization" of the job market, i.e. the creation of temp work agencies whose "contractors" can not join unions - though these may still benefit from union wages negotiated in the companies they are stationed at, and the heavy regulation around unions effectively prohibiting micro-unions like in the US or coordinated "solidarity" strikes) this index provides a good "temperature gauge" for wage developments. In other words: when union wages (in aggregate) go up, minimum wage goes up. When they stagnate, minimum wage stagnates.

This is different from welfare (formerly Hartz IV, now Bürgergeld, which previously was supposed to be a form of federal UBI) which is intended to track inflation as it is only meant to cover a standard of "needs" (which in turn are supposed to be individualized by taking into account various factors like number of people in the household).

In other words: welfare exists to provide a social safety net to cover a person's needs, federal minimum wage exists to provide a baseline for wages to ensure employees are paid a non-exploitative wage for their labor if they're unable to join a union that would help them negotiate a better wage and there is no union available to them.

So minimum wage is really more of a "fallback union wage", typically benefitting direct hires in low prestige jobs like cleaning. Note that a better equivalent of American company-specific unions is the construct of a Betriebsrat, a form of works council, which the employees of any company with at least 5 "regular employees" are eligible to form and grants special protections to its elected officials (the number of which is also specified by law). Neither has anything to do with worker ownership, i.e. cooperatives, or employee share schemes (more common in the US).
If you ever worked a club door you would know that you can very quickly categorize people into "fits" or "doesn't fit".

It does not have anything to do with magical thinking or beliefs, its years of experience and a deep understanding of the culture and clientele that visits your venue.

Of course you don't have to participate if you don't like it, there are plenty of clubs (in Berlin too) where you just pay entry and thats it.

Not sure there's a corelation here, Node has a much more featureful library than say C, and there's still a dependency hell there and not in C.
>I've always had a peculiar, extremely elastic relationship with time, which I do perceive, only it's wildly all over the place, day in day out; a "moment" could fold hours into an eyeblink, or it could make split seconds last an eternity and a half.

Indeed. US citizens moving to the EU regularly run into the fact that their citizenship makes it much harder to get a bankaccount (and sometimes even impossible). It's probably the biggest driver in people giving up their US citizenship (that and the ridiculous taxation rules).

Coincidentally, the reviews of the Volvo EX30 just came out. Not quite $25,000 but a lot closer to it than most electric cars. And no compromises, unlike the Dacia Spring or Citroen ec3.
Not quite so - Harari’s thesis makes specific anthropological claims (for example, about the development of cities, agriculture). Downstream of the central conceit of stories, but confident and specific nonetheless.

I think the author is making a cute, ironic parallel, and perhaps suggesting that it may have warranted more reflection from Harari.

If your not confident enough in your statement to leave out such a heavy lifting qualifier like "might" you shouldn't make the claim at all.

What issues do you run into with the log files?

I have plenty of ideological problems with the design of the logs, but not actually ran into problems in the real world.
In germany the problem is always other countries (preferably eu member states, easier to sanction), germany is perfect. And that’s one of the narratives the media promotes. I believe it used to be called nationalist propaganda. To actually learn what's happening in Germany you need to read news about the country from media in the US, UK, Poland, etc.
Not much, at least according to this book[1].

> Yet it that functioned for 25 years (apt turned 25 this year).

Up to a point. Even 15 years ago the issues were clear and people were having to work around them.

> There has been mistakes, like the OpenSSL "fix", but not many.

That was the single worst bug in a general-purpose computer system IMO, and a predictable result of the Debian way of building packages. But they never felt the need to change their policies.

> Build Python projects on Debian, using apt as you dependency manager works pretty well

Python has notoriously terrible dependency management. It's a pretty low bar.

> One think so seems to forget is that you can often pull in newer versions of libraries and other packages from Backports. That does mitigate some of the issues with packages being to old.

The fact that there is such a big ecosystem of workarounds for linux distro packaging should tell you there's something fundamentally wrong with the basic idea.

Wow. That license asserts that Taiwan is part of China, requires you to “respect social ethics and moral standards”.

As much as the "rust for everything" folks are annoying, wrong programs not compiling is the entire point of having a powerful type system correctly leveraged. This is the kind of task where rust truly shines.

I do have to note that the linked video is from 2013 so I assume they've moved on from that.
TBH it's mostly caused by the lack of consistent semver use in the npm ecosystem, which in turn is driven by JavaScript being a highly dynamic language and not being designed for programming 'in the large'. The whole point of semantic versioning is to make it possible to auto-upgrade dependencies to the latest compatible version, at which point devendoring a dependency and packaging it separately starts to make a lot of sense. If every dependency upgrade requires a complex review of the code, there's no point in devendoring since it will just result in lots of bespoke package versions adding pointless clutter to the archive.
Because they are still compiling?
