A couple of points
By reading HN, we tend to get exposed to world class achievements and improvements leading to a high bar to measure our performance. This can lead to stress, anxiety and feelings of burnout.

The other point is while capitalism has numerous advantages and benefits, I do think it may miss some uncosted externalities (Modern western societies have a tremendous impact on the planet which is hidden from market pressures as exploits different resources). Other examples are the cigarette companies hiding evidence about lung cancer and oil companies hiding research into climate change.
If you purely select for profit and no other criteria, it can tend to nasty effects for others
Keep in mind that "earning" money isn't enough. $100M in revenue isn' even a rounding error.

1) Orders are complex and require many steps to process correctly.

2) Orders are only the writes, we have to serve many magnitudes more read traffic and not all of it is cached (invalidations, inventory counts).
To be fair, some IPs simply can't reasonably be mapped beyond the country level (even if MaxMind often tries).

For example in Germany some carriers just give you a random IP from a pool that is used for half the country, and will give you a new IP every 24 hours. How would you geolocate those with a downloadable database.
My thinking is that you should extract as much logic as possible into some neutral format that you can run on any CI platform. Bash, Docker + Makefile, Earthly, python scripts... whatever keeps as much logic out of a proprietary vendor specific format.

Then you can switch easier, if need be.
If I got an issue that started with "DO NOT CLOSE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE YOU THINK IT DOEN'T MEET THE CRITERIA OF A VALID ISSUE!" I would be pretty inclined to close it without reading further.
Good luck with that, hope you never have to write a portable shell script
Powershell for Linux fails the Litmus test of "Is it in the Debian community repo"

This means it's either

- Some "Open Core" bullshit with the secret sauce conveniently tucked away in some proprietary blob or restrictive license submodule

- Has a build process so convoluted and mystery-meat-dependency filled it's not worth to bother with.

- Has so many anti features it would require an extensive patchset (like ungoogled-chromium) to fix.

So it might be interesting technology, but it's not something I'd deploy by default to every server and expect to work in 5 years time.
The solution for microplastics and most polutants is not a sigle technology. It is the 3Rs:

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

For some polutants like PFAS the reuse and recycle may be impossible for now. We could at best React them or Restrain them.

And yes technology CAN play a role in solving some aspects but I still believe that the first step is really to reduce.

Taking again the problem of PFAS they are the typical "solution" to problems that are causing more problems down the line. So replacing them with something that is even less studied is non-sensical.
Same here. So many people are attacking ad hominem. Author may have a history, author may be difficult, but Darktable is hardly a professional’s tool.

I tried everything to stay away from the Adobe tax. I used Retroactive with Aperture 3 until it became too unstable. I tried RawTherapee but found the default tools were just bad, and speed was terrible. Darktable’s performance was a bit better but wow that UI. And not in a good way. I don’t want to pick from five different algorithms (almost all the time you can’t tell the difference anyway) to apply a filter.

I eventually just paid for On1 and it’s great.

This is just back to the old problem: most research is irrelevant to anyone beyond a few researchers and largely inconsequential to the world. This means, there will be no money for replication for most things.

Anything truly critical will (eventually) go through some replication/control of sorts (but it can take a long time).

You can either shut down most of research and then place your bets on what to keep and replicate, or you run broad but with a lot of incorrect stuff in it.

If you go for the former, you run the risk that you keep the wrong things, though. You have to have a way to quantify the direct and indirect costs of all the bad research and see if that trades off vs a much smaller research surface. Not sure if that is the case - empirical data matters much less for a lot of big decisions than people often make it out.
Which is extremely easy to do; just a misplaced `mv` is enough. I can't believe people are relying on GPT for ad hoc destructive I/O.
Well, the argument that article provides relating to advantages over buses is compelling at the fave value: “Until recently, the options for this mid-range transportation (we call it 'mid-tier transit') were limited to light rail, which is very expensive, and bus rapid transit, which is rarely electrified and is often stuck in traffic. The mid-tier transit we need is trackless tram technology: less costly than light rail, faster and sleeker than buses, carbon-neutral and flexible. Installing trackless trams in the middle suburbs can improve access to public transport, reduce emissions, increase land value and encourage more people to move to these areas. “

I’d imagine it’s easier to automate it too…
Before energy deregulation in Texas, power companies were required by law to build in extra capacity for weather events, and Texas power was among the most reliable in the nation for many decades. Yes it was a separate grid, and it was utterly reliable. Both things were true.

After deregulation, the Texas power companies were motivated purely by profit, which meant they got rid of extra capacity, winterization mechanisms, etc because all those things cost them money. A grid that runs right on the hairy edge of failure works great as long as everything happens as planned, but eventually a February 2021 comes along.

Some penalties for lack of winterization have supposedly been put back in place, but knowing how Texas politics works I expect most of the power companies have figured out ways around them.
The Brexiteers were naive. Anyone with half a brain wouldve known the elites would switch immigration from EU to third world which is exactly what they did post Brexit.
I've tried DT and my RAW images look washed out by the software defaults.

There are videos and forum responses explaining how to get a more appealing image, but the suggestions require a LOT of work and they assume a pretty deep understanding of color science.

DT is like a car that you can only drive if you know how how to tune each part of the engine. Otherwise, you just drive something that sputters down the highway.

> the SEC refuses to set forth clear criteria as to which crypto tokens it considers securities, and which crypto tokens it does not consider securities

This is a PR soundbite. Coinbase has milked this one quite extensively. "Woe is us, we're trying to do the right thing but the SEC won't tell us what to do!"

It's not actually accurate.

And when the people responsible for writing become Coinbase's lawyers, not their marketing team, and the rubber hits the road in court, Coinbase says no such thing. This is the actual crux of their complaint, in their own words:

> for many tokens, registering is not possible due to effort involved, or not economically viable.

Coinbase doesn't like the cost of having to register securities for the shitcoin du jour - there's no money to be made.

But the SEC isn't obligated to make a profitable business model for Coinbase.

But it sounds far better to get the crypto club and libertarians up in arms about unhelpful government organizations.
You are probably unfamiliar with my account. I am working on an absurdist art project based on capitalism and techno-optimism but I appreciate your comment. Sarcasm and irony are hard to detect with just text.
It's roughly the top 1% globally: https://www.credit-suisse.com/media/assets/corporate/docs/ab...

If you don't care for the global measure, you can focus on your country or region. But for a global measure, like for this map, it's relevant.

And even for 56kbps, you need to have the ISP end talk digitally to the telco, so that you don't get the noise (including from the DAC) of the local loop on the ISP end. That's really what pushes the SNR far enough down to make it work (and why the uplink is only 33.6kbps; I guess they didn't want to try to make a separate modulation for that direction).

Yes

I’ll go further. All transactions should be public, especially those by government, all politicians, and anyone in a position of authority over others.
I should add that in watching because oxalates recently pierced my attention, and I consume lots of spinach and nuts. I'm watching this video for possible tips on mitigation, but I don't yet know the individuals who are speaking well enough to trust them as info sources.

Let's be realistic here: The US supreme court always tells us what the law is, every time, regardless of how clear the law's writing is, and how the court had rules in the past. The same can happen in lower courts, as federal circuits come back with head-scratching rulings whenever it suits the judge's aesthetic preferences. Judge shopping is quite popular in expensive cases for good reasons.

So we shouldn't be surprised when anything changes, ever, given how much activism we are seeing in courts today. So the question is, how much do the people that actually decide what a law means really like cryptocurrencies? I suspect the only good chance most of those companies have is rely on the court's dislike for government agencies, regardless of what laws say. But as far as I am aware, the good friends of the court tend to be very involved in old banking, and thus they aren't fond of crypto companies either.

So maybe those companies should start lobbying Harlan Crow and his circle of friends.
I use a Firewalla Purple and an old Eero AP in dumb/bridge mode.

The Firewalla is pretty powerful and comes with a great app.

The thing I really like is that if I don’t want to fiddle with it for a year, it will just keep running and not need any attention. BUT, if I do want to tinker, it’s powerful and supports just about anything I’d want to do with it.

Because it implies these are people have far fewer excuses for the seeming lack of care about user feedback than some unpaid volunteer.

Considering many companies have contacts ranging from millions to hundreds of millions with Microsoft, and developer tools are a major selling point for the ecosystem, it's certainly reasonable to be upset that when your organization can't depend on them. It makes planning a nightmare - it may take a month or 5 years to deliver your feature, depending on when the bugs get fixed.
All anti-money laundering regulations cracks down on human rights.

Anyone who opened a crypto account with a regulated brokerage was abused.

If your right to property was respected they couldn't force you to spend extra time and money to exercise it, or limit how you can exercise it.

It's a matter of scope and degree. If government doesn't like you, you get a VIP treatment.
Downloading publicly available content for preservation purposes? There's no sane argument that this doesn't squarely fall under Fair Use.
I’m not feeling attacked, and didn’t say I was. I'm just sorry for the folks you’re responding to.

Edit to clarify: for the precise reason that “you have terrible taste” is ad hominem, and contributes nothing to the discussion. This isn’t appreciated on HN.

I think if you worked on your delivery you might find folks have different reception to your ideas.
Yes, Lax is the option when you want preventing CSRF and nothing else.

I actually don't know any use case for Strict, but it makes sense, so it's probably useful.

And None is for when you want to explicitly allow CSRF (what is useful some times).

And either way, it's best to always set that flag on sensitive cookies (not only authentication, but anything that leaks user information too), even if it's the documented default, because browsers make quite a mess of their default.
Larger caches and compression as well as considerably higher memory clocks enable them to reduce the bus width whilst being able to hit the performance target.

Both the 2070 and 3070 have a memory bandwidth of 448GB/s the 4070 with its smaller bus has a memory bandwidth of 504GB/s.

Sure, open source worked well for encryption. It wouldn't work well for bioweapons or nuclear weapons technology. The question is which category does AGI best fit? We shouldn't elide analysis for obtuse comparisons to the past.

I think burn out has a lot to do with incentives. When I'm working on a project in which I have a direct interest (intrinsic or financial), or from which I derive a direct benefit (personal, financial, or even intangible), I can work long, long hours without burning out. I'll get tired, and sometimes have to take a break to re-kindle my enthusiasm, but that feels different than burn out.

When, by contrast, I'm working (perhaps against my recommendation) on something (perhaps useless) assigned to me (perhaps sub-optimally) for the (perhaps hypothetical) benefit of (perhaps faceless) others, where my motivation is entirely negative - do this, or maybe lose my job - well... Then I feel burnt out before I even start.
That's the problem in the US, people are fighting so much for remote problems that were fed to them by politicians trying to be elected that they don't see the real problems they face. If all that energy was directed at changing what can make or break an individual or even in that case a family, people would have much better lifes. And the same goes with food quality and availability, it is absolutely disastrous on health and yet most of the areas in the US don't have easy access to non shitty food but have all the junk food they want.
It’s absurd to think that any given person should be familiar with any other persons account or mannerisms/schtick on this website. Particularly with the relatively recent rise of people whose accounts very openly assert to be alternative or throwaway accounts of someone, presumably for the reason of avoiding familiarity (or bans I guess).
In general, I do think that Darktable's UI could be better, and most likely it could be more efficient. His points are not wrong, but they are also not as fundamentally disastrous as the author makes them to be. I feel the damage that the author caused with his behavior is potentially worse for Darktable than the problems themselves.

In a collaborative project run by volunteers, the way one argues and the point one makes are united. Darktable is possible only if there is a group of people working on it. I've seen the author insulting fellow contributors in public forums, I've seen him using the most offensive possible language against people who were being polite to him, just because they disagreed. This is not how you steer an opensource project in the right direction. It is also useless to come and shit everywhere after the changes are done. It is the opensource equivalent of seagull management [1].

I think in a collaborative project, the way you state your point is as important as the value of the point you're making. If you're unable to state your point clearly and effectively, then you should work alone, as the author has now correctly decided to do. Continuing the shitstorm even after his collaboration with Darktable has terminated seems, to me, to be just the continuation of a useless feud.

I say all this as a happy Darktable user, and not a contributor at all. I also loved the author's contribution, and found his Youtube channel to be really informative and a fantastic learning source. Still, Darktable has continued after his departure, and the new release, which will come for Christmas, is really promising, with the inclusion of per-channel curves in the sigmoid module, similarly to Blender's AgX. Many other improvements are coming, and I don't feel the project is "crashing into the wall in slow-motion".

> can be counterproductive

OP is clearly not. He made a (usable?) version of darktable.

I have not tried it yet, but I will. I still have PTSd from my darktable tries. It was such a mess but at this time i thought its my fault.
I hope I live long enough to see sales people eliminated. In solar, they contribute the least to the process yet gobble up 30% of the money. It is a total waste of taxpayer money, adoption would be a lot faster if we got rid of the greedy freeloaders
> My observation is that many people in HN seem burnt out, and are resorting to pointing out reasons, not just for their own burn out, but for that of society’s as a whole.

There's not much measurement necessary for peak DRAM bandwidth; bit rate times bus width is pretty much the whole story when comparing GPUs of similar architecture and the same type of DRAM. That's not to say that DRAM bandwidth is the only relevant performance metric for GPUs (which is why a DRAM bandwidth regression doesn't guarantee worse overall performance), but there's really no need to further justify the arithmetic that says whether a higher bit rate compensates for a narrower bus width.

If you were specifically referring to the performance impact of the big L2 cache increase: I don't know how big a difference that made, but it obviously wasn't zero.
It's an unremarkable age gap by Victorian standards. Men above working class status typically waited until they could support a family before marrying, and women typically married young (16-21 was common among the nobility: at 22 an unmarried woman was all but washed-up). Death in childbirth was sky-high by modern standards, and older husbands died of diseases which today would be survivable, so the average duration of a marriage was much the same as it is today -- about 12 years -- even though divorce was difficult hence rare.

(Victorian mores may seem alien to modern eyes because they arose from medical and social constraints we're no longer subject to.)
Other the to exchange fiat for crypto, I’m not quite sure why people keep their cryptocurrencies on these exchanges. They proven time and time again that they’re usually a scam.
> Python has no mechanism for embedding or forwarding methods

Scala 3 has export statements (https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/other-new-featu...). I wish more OOP languages had something similar, so that there was less boilerplate when composing other objects.

And it is possible to implement something like that in python as a library, although a with a quick search I only found a couple of blog posts on how to implement something yourself.
I'll share a Wordle "solver" I recently created on Glitch: https://ps-wordle-solver.glitch.me/

You tell it which letters it can't be, are somewhere, and are exactly where. It shows letter frequency, possible words, and words that use high frequency characters. I don't think I actually solve Wordle's in fewer guesses on average when using it, but it is expanding what words I'll consider. I consider it more of a training tool than a cheat tool since it is more fun to play without it.
Is that still distroless? At that point you've effectively recreated Alpine with nix IMO; the only thing missing from the image is a package manager.

Software is perfect not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing to take away.

Patches are easy to reject; try to refuse implementing a feature someone offers you money for.

Notice how the most consistent design and the highest quality usually comes from people who are heavily opinionated. The real problem is that there seem to be a lot more people with strong opinions than there are good designs.

I'm not a photographer, so I can't judge Ansel vs Darktable based on the merits of their UI design, but I can empathize with Aurélien based on his version of the story. The number of times I've ripped out 100k lines of code to replace them with a hundred is too damn high. Was there a good reason for these 100k lines to exist? Perhaps, once upon a time, but I do feel relief when I rip them out.
