It's definitely more than an afternoon of work, though I can understand how you might think that. Things are often harder and more complex than we realize at first. :-)

One of the biggest gaps with the current implementation is lack of support for JWKs. We wanted to support that. Also, dark mode. It's the little things.

For the record, no tokens are ever sent anywhere. Everything stays local to the browser. If you hit the "GPT" button, it just transmits the payload--nothing else. That part is definitely a fun experiment. It's more "useful" with more complex payloads. But it may not stick around long-term. We'll see.
NASA Launches Its First On-Demand Streaming Service, Updated App
Not with incremental compile times, which is what people are complaining about.
I was wrong. It was Pakistan, not Iran. The enrichment program was certainly covert though.

In September 1981, a powerful earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale shook Islamabad and the surrounding area. Pakistani scientists at Kahuta were on a lunch break when the earth shook, forcing them to run to work stations only to hear the sounds of explosions. Some four thousand centrifuges operating in the Khan Research Laboratory had crashed. The earthquake had unbalanced the rotors, operating in a vacuum at some 64,000 revolutions per minute (RPMs); they hit their casings and turned to powder, making sounds like hand grenades exploding.

> I don't think a lot of HP fans have fully cognized

To be fair, this seems as much the fault of the author's. She seemed to have cribbed notes from a lot of smarter literature without truly thinking through the consequences of it. Many of her subsequent essays and writings seem to make it clear that she wasn't actually meant to be criticizing magical fascism tropes and is more inclined in real life to side with "magical fascism", and she may not have fully cognized elements of her own writing that attracted some of her original audience (many of whom are exactly the ones who have sworn off the franchise because of her subsequent actions, and those essays/writings).
This was a repositioning flight of a smaller airline, and so everyone on board the airliner was in the industry / worked for the airline. Not a normal flight of passengers.
The entire backend rendering to raw X11 calls for my personal terminals is ~160 lines of Ruby, and that includes support for oddities like double width/double height, and optimizations you can drop at first like scroll up/down (as opposed to taking the slow approach of redrawing, which is enough for a first approximation). You need very little to do the bare minimum graphical output.
Nah, it's your take that is ill-informed.

If you want to convert rubles to crypto, you just do P2P on the Binance or on any other exchange. Basically, exchange provides a list of verified merchants to whom you can deposit rubles directly via any kind of means (card-to-card, FPS, cash, you name it), and these merchants top up your crypto wallet. It takes like two minutes to buy USDT. And it also works in other direction.

As for deposits, there was no reasonable way to deposit rubles on Binance anyway since VISA and Mastercard blocked international payments. Now it's just cleaning up the leftovers so Binance can legally say "we don't work with Russia anymore".
They can, but pretty much everything will reverse lookup to Cloudflare or AWS.
Some of my guesses:

Programmers are overrepresented both among FOSS enthusiasts and among nostalgic old gamers, meaning there are more people able to and interested in rewriting the engine code collaboratively than there are for the other parts of game-making.

People who want to do unpaid work on the other parts of game-making can do mods instead.

Making a new game is an artistic endeavour that is hard to do without either having an hierarchy making the decisions or being a solo/small group thing, making it somewhat unfit for community FOSS. When doing a remake you have the specification more or less done, you just have to implement it and do the uncontroversial fixes and improvements.

Erlang developed the way it did before people started calling it an Actor model.

The key characteristic is not a state machine, but that:

- first class processes send messages to each other

- messages are queued

- each process is single execution flow. If you want to reenter code, start another process and send messages to it

- process execution can be preempted

- values passed in messages are for the most part, immutable.

- first class support for “links”, where one process gets notified when another process crashes (basis for supervision trees)

The consequences of this design are:

- for the most part, you don’t need mutexs

- spin locks are cheap

- every process can be suspended indefinitely when nothing is in the message queue. This is better than an async reactor.

- processes don’t get “lost” (I am looking at you, Nodejs)

- processes can receive control messages to suspend or shutdown, restart, etc. Most other platforms have to externalize that to say, K8S and such controls are crude.

- errors don’t get “lost” (Nodejs again …)

- repl in production, can inspect the whole system live, under load

- overloaded systems degrades gracefully instead of locking up
It's completely evolutionary! To add context here. The B-21 is an manned version of a drone called a RQ-180, which is an extremely stealthy flying wing. Coupled to existing engines (widely believed to be F-35 engines possibly with an increased bypass ratio).

The B-2 had this huge problem where the original design (called "Senior Ice") was a stealthy high altitude bomber - like the B-21. But, at the last moment, the B-2 was completely redesigned to have low altitude flying capabilities - greatly increasing the cost of development and timeline.

With the B-21, Northrop reverted to the original (Senior Ice) design. Building on top of all the technologies proved out by the RQ-180. And with a development team at the Strategic Capabilities Office organized to prevent anyone from adding or changing requirements.

Evolutionary design + proven subsystems + focused and stable requirements.

Likely the best managed DoD acquisition program in the last one to two decades.

I don't understand this characterization. He cites a wealth of the kind of history that only a seasoned and successful fiction author could have deep knowledge of. I may end up rereading it so I can follow the thread better. It's fascinating all because of that, but you want to skip to the end and just criticize the mindset because you didn't like the conclusion.

I get it, tech geeks want to believe in tech geekdom. But this is an unexamined religion, the priesthood of which is right here to peel back the curtains and show how it's all smoke and mirrors, and you just want to crucify the non-believer. Elon Musk et al are not the writers of the myths, and rockets and LLMs are not the communion wafers. But you seem to want to treat them as such.

Agree to your point. We would like to support more geographies. This was the first step. Will progressively attempt to make the content better and relevant for different geographies.
most politicians at the higher levels are lawyers; they are responding to power and hierarchy, enforcement and cash flows.. and importantly, each other. Most of those things do not involve you, the reader, as decision maker. They don't ask, they respond .. and there are stronger signals than yours. That's why it feels infuriating or hopeless to a single reader.
Tell HN: I just had my unexpectedly smoothest OS major version upgrade
I'm running Fedora (KDE flavour) on my desktop. My desktop is a tricky machine, set up by myself, with all the usual troublemakers: Nvidia 4090, External Audio interface, multiple monitors, many different development, gaming and productivity tools, entire drive LUKS encryption, dual boot with Windows 11 pro, etc.

I upgraded to Fedora 39 using dnf-system-upgrade, and it went flawlessly.

In my 20 years of handling computers, this is the first time with a tricky computer. Even the work's MBP M1 had problems with some third-party software when upgrading. I had similarly good experiences with my Framework laptop, but that was expected.

This anecdote causes me to feel much better about Linux on desktop.

Kudos to the Fedora team for maintaining one of the last remaining products I can fully trust.
When you take audio out of the equation you don't need a lot of things:

What makes the sound? Not needed anymore. So any ADC/DACs, DSP code, analog voice hardware, etc is not needed. The DSP in particular is fairly complex and can be expensive depending on what you're doing

If you take the analog side of things out you don't need as complex power and all sorts of other things, so you may not even need a power supply at all, which is huge! Etc, etc.

Then there are things in the middle, like CVs, which are 'kinda' audio but not really since they are just control voltages. You can run them quite slow and still be useful (like 10kHz even). Or, you can treat them like audio, which is definitely my preference, so it depends on your implementation.

MIDI is a great place to start on a path to developing your own instruments. The amount you can do with a controller is CRAZY when you start to see how far it can go
Piracy arguably benefits society (by providing access to media etc) more than these other entities (the copyright holders, BREIN etc).
In this context I agree, - I read it as him lamenting the intelligence of those who participate in, and perpetuate the conditions of the Drepression (and global economic collapse) in addition to the tendency to descend into mass violence (as he witnessed in the WWI and beginning again in Europe).

I'm not sold on the correlation between intelligence, character, and producing value. How many self made billionaires achieved their position by utterly disregarding both moral and legal dimensions?

From testing out the monaspace fonts, it’s really not very noticeable. It only affects one character back, and they only do it for the really egregious cases, so during normal typing, you barely see it happening. That’s similar to normal ligatures e.g. ffi, where you typically don’t notice the swap.

He told me don't bother the tires will wear back to even on my return trip.

As far as I know, the entertainment industry almost entirely stopped going after individuals after their attempts in the early 00s ended up as a PR disaster as they mostly ended up suing clueless grandmothers and preteen girls[0]. Then Netflix came along and made piracy mostly irrelevant, as it was a lot easier for the average consumer to pay $10/month for Netflix than deal with torrenting.

Now that piracy is on the rise again due to the fracturing of streaming platforms, I wonder if we'll see these individually targeted lawsuits resurface.

Weird seeing people do archeology on stuff I did almost every day for a few years. Eventually I got a job at a company with clueful CPU designers (Inmos) who had built in the DRAM timing generator on-chip. It ran off the polyphase clock and was programmable so the board only needed the address mux chips.
Auction them off :)
Thank you! I was hoping to avoid RTFA.
Newer versions of ssh have the -J option which lets you enter the bastion host and it does everything else automatically.
The body shop and their client call it contracting. If one will follow the mantra of "words mean whatever people use them as" then this is contracting.
Yup, I have a Dewalt set, with their older battery design.... unfortunately my batteries are getting old, the tools are fine, but I can't get the old batteries, and if I buy new tools, they will use the new batteries. So... do I buy aftermarket batteries for my existing tools, or get rid of my existing tools and switch to whatever brand next? It is silly.
Interestingly, S3 and DynamoDB access from privately addressed IPv4 VPCs is free, since it's implemented as routes not endpoints, and although rather constraining you can definitely build things with that.

Case in point, I had some internal instances that very occasionally want to pull files from a partner's endpoint. Previous solution, NAT gateway. New solution, DynamoDB request table streamed to AWS Lambda and results in S3. Caveat programmer: only suitable if the task is not latency sensitive.

DynamoDB/Lambda are not everyone's cup of tea, but it's nice to have options.
I think how you interpret that line is related to how you interpret

It is possible to give both an Ayn Randian interpretation.

Mint, One of the First Budgeting Apps, Is Shutting Down
I think it’s better for the world that a product is tested in the world than tested in the distorted world of Google politics. If your company can’t get product market fit - fine, maybe it was a bad idea. Time for all the talented people to do something else. But if a product gets killed inside Google for some bizarro Google reasons, well, maybe it was a bad idea or maybe it was a great idea. We have no idea. The effort was simply wasted.
I can't find any stats but just from the layoff news it seems like a lot of companies are doing more strategic cuts before the holiday season.
I did. Is there something you wish to add?
Very good point. Especially true when there's no corrective pressure from the market to do something about the accumulation of the prestige-money employees.

Search revenue gives them a nearly infinite rope to keep accumulating the 'others' without having to attract 'builders' to open up new revenues. Just use blind for an hour and you'll see how bad it has gotten over the years.
Sounds like it's time to set up a cron job to torrent and delete Linux ISOs. The more noise, the merrier.
Because it's just generalizing based on "not Europe or North America == Third World == families with 10 babies". When in reality the world is a complicated and diverse place. Africa has a population density of 49/km2, India is 490/km2. Lumping them together indicates reductive thought.

This has never made any sense to me. "People are dumb, panicky animals" because "people" is made up of "persons" who (in aggregate) dumb stuff down. The individuals in the "people" are also "dumb, panicky animals," generally speaking.

1. old computer found in a dumpster. Using it to learn about sysadmin and networking.

2. I installed it when centos was dead and I was looking for a stable os for a web server. My main computer runs Linux Mint.

3. It’s the first one I tried. Might check out open bds and dragonfly when I get into hosting and virtualization.

4. I’m just limited by lack of knowledge. But I like that there’s a more common path to follow, with great documentation. For the things I have working now, I feel like I have a better handle on my config choices vs in Linux distros I don’t always know if I’m doing things the Linux way or the Ubuntu way.

5. Several nights and weekends playing with ancient hardware and alternative software.
Advertisers don't care about the content next to their ads. What they don't like is when a mob of people puts them into the news cycle for "supporting $controversy." It's not the content itself that is the proximate problem. It's the angry mob that comes with it.
> One of the primary metrics for leadership success at Google is how many people you have under you.

that's how bankers used to measure companies (some still do), a sad metric in a wrong place
>That sounds possible, but is it really a problem?
Yes. Level 2 Charging takes around 30-40amps. How many amps does your home have? Can your utility handle all your neighbors doubling capacity? Can you charge your car and still run your electric furnace in a blizzard? These are valid concerns. We barely have the grid capacity to handle the AC in heat waves, let alone everyone plugging in their cars at 5PM when they get home.

>disinterest in EVs correlates with political alignment and not with local population.

Political alignment correlates with local population. You can make an educated guess that a rural town leans red, and a city leans blue. A city will also have a more significant tax base and can afford long term infrastructure development. A small town is not in the same position.

>the ancient, commonplace art of tax incentives and disincentives.
And they have often been called authoritarian when they are excised without adequate representation.

>The taxes, if implemented correctly, actually enable people to make informed decisions.
My concern is that things aren't being implemented correctly. That the regulations and tax incentives and disincentives make lots of sense for people in one position and not a lot of sense for people in different positions. I think we are ignoring the plight of people in rural communities and failing to recognize that there are immense hurdles for even dense cities.

Poor people do not get to buy new cars. They certainly do not get the benefits of subsidized purchase prices. If anything you have poor people subsiding the luxury purchases of wealthy people. In other words its forcing society to collective clean up the messes of people who can already afford to clean up their own messes.

New cars become used cars, but if the battery needs to be replaced then you are talking about a cost resembling another car.

As someone who believes in climate change, who is under no illusion that we are having massive species loss, why are we all so convinced this means our own extinction? Most of the species that lived on this planet are not captured in the fossil record. The globe was covered in ice 10,000 years ago and life still exists today. If in a hundred years the world is a Jurassic tropical climate, why are we so convinced that this is existential? Species will adapt and survive and evolve. Some won't. C'est la vie.

Besides eventually we will figure out that pesticides have had a far greater impact on species loss than a little bit of rough weather.
There are ways of putting graphics on screen without requiring users to have WebGL enabled/supported. I think my mobile browser has it disabled for security.
Imagine what could be done with that infinite money if Google had a real incentive to build more useful things.
No, no macOS. I just wouldn't expect that the software would make such a difference. I also wasn't sparing with that machine, went gigabytes into the swap regularly, the SSD was often at 85-90% capacity, and yet I was nowhere near depleting the reserved blocks and had zero problems after years of use. (I can't remember when exactly I bought the SSD but I think it was 2015 or 2016 and I used it until 2023.)

I guess it's possible, it just sounded like individual bad luck to me. My impression has been that you really have to write a lot to wear out the expected life of a non-ancient SSD.
As other commenters have shared, there are big disincentives for restaurants to turn people away at the door - they don't get paid, and it is negative experience for both sides (with commensurate brand effects).

Do you have a non Excel recommendation for Linux? Excel is the one reason I use Windows other than games. I've tried Excel on OSX and hated it every time. Some of that is due to different key shortcuts; most of it is due to subpar functionality and performance. It may have changed; the last time I tried was over a decade ago.
The link in the article doesn't provide any evidence of the steel mill vs data center claim. I'll be charitable and assume that he got his links mixed up because he's got the same target URL for two links.

But anyway... I don't think we need many more steel mills. Most steel production is actually the recycling of old steel. We are very close to being in a steady-state loop with regards to steel. So you need to find other uses for cheap power ;)
That is exactly what is needed. The B-2 is too big, too expensive, and too few. The B-21, two thirds the size, is much more useful for modern warfare. The US is planning on buying 100 of them instead of the 21 B-2, and replace the B-2s, B-1s, and maybe the B-52s.

The B-21 has the same range as B-2, it is the B-2 that is shorter range than B-52. Smaller bomber is much more flexible. Most missions don't require B-2 or B-52 size when carrying a few cruise missiles or guided bombs. If do need more, than can send two of them and those are available.
Turns out: not software developers.
