No worries, you're not alone. I can see it has decent (not great imho) production values, but it's not for me. It's slow and uninteresting, I'm level 2/3 and facing unbeatable level 5 enemies (a hag in a swamp, some tiny island after a swamp or some underground minotaurs). I know I should find entertainment in doing other things in the game, but I'm 10 hours in already, and progress is agonizingly slow. All I got is that I've bug in my eye I want to get out of it, somehow all my companions have it as well, and there's a refugee camp that's being evicted by more druids. I have no idea what the overarching story is, I just go from little set piece to new little set piece (which feel rather artificial), but it's not very interesting and my characters feel as weak as when I started the game. I have fond memories of bg1 and bg2, played them into early morning cause I wanted to know what was next. But now, I just don't care, I just feel lost and like making no progress at all.

That there seemingly is no great story shouldn't be that much an issue to me, it doesn't always matter to me, but with the battles not being engaging, character progress nonexistent, exploring not being exciting nor rewarding, there's just nothing that makes me want to come back. Now i do have a great dislike for open-world games, and it seems bg3 just has all the elements that makes me dislike it, too much make your own adventure. I don't recall the earlier baldurs gate games being this way.
I'd argue it's more likely to be in a datacenter than in 40% of data center networks, since if even one network in the colo ran it, that would mean it was in that datacenter.

Remember, this isn't server share, it's share of DCs that have even one Windows Server with AD and Microsoft DHCP. For large commercial colos, you can assume that's effectively 100% of colos.

And with 85% of SMB being Microsoft shops, one can extrapolate for small colos, though we'd hope of that majority that are still on AD they either use Azure AD or run AD in the office and Linux in the colo.

I think I understand this and I disagree.

Maybe I am idealistic, but I’m ok with that. And there’s many situations where I’ll stay idealistic despite reality, but I think there are many valid outcomes while going my own way and not using anything in this book.

It’s hard to compare outcomes, but I’m content. And, anecdotally, it’s not like there’s shining data for people following this approach.

It’s pretty easy to show that games are necessary now as we don’t need to evolve. Humans aren’t slaves to biology and in many ways transcend what evolution wants us to do.
Microsoft's Active Directory, DHCP server, and DNS server integrate very closely. When a domain member gets a dynamic IP address, the DHCP server will inform the DNS server to update its record for that host.

Many companies are, let's say a bit lazy - when use an Active Directory domain anyway, you might as well use the DHCP and DNS servers, too, they handle replication and failover very smoothly. (I am not a big fan of Windows, but that part has worked pretty well in my experience.)

You can get a similar mechanism to work between BIND and ISC DHCPD; it's not a lot of work, but with Zeroconf/mDNS it is less useful than it used to be.

Both situations show increasing wealth inequality, but only one shows wealth redistribution up the ladder.

Thanks for taking the time to have a thoughtful reply.

I think pointing to wealth inequality as the reason there is increasing disconnection is a stretch. Yes it's a factor but I don't think it's the chief one.

> In PowerShell, structured output is the default and it seems to work very well.

PowerShell goes a step beyond JSON, by supporting actual mutable objects. So instead of just passing through structured data, you effectively pass around opaque objects that allow you to go back to earlier pipeline stages, and invoke methods, if I understand correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof....

I'm rather fond of wrappers like jc and libxo, and experimental shells like https://www.nushell.sh/. These still focus on passing data, not objects with executable methods. On some level, I find this comfortable: Structured data still feels pretty Unix-like, if that makes sense? If I want actual objects, then it's probably time to fire up Python or Ruby.

Knowing when to switch from a shell script to a full-fledged programming language is important, even if your shell is basically awesome and has good programming features.

Not the colo themselves running it, "in" datacenters. And more accurately, in networks in datacenters.

Colocation means many clients, and in any given colo there's almost certainly someone running a Windows AD + Microsoft DHCP box, meaning it's "in" that datacenter. I'm surprised as many as 40% of networks still have that tech, but that's enterprise for you. Point being, though, it's likely in well more than 40% of datacenters.
It is the other way around. Passenger rail has priority but that law is ignored by freight operators.

“For over 50 years, freight railroads have been required by law to provide Amtrak with “preference” to run passenger trains ahead of freight trains. However, many freight railroads ignore the law because it is extremely difficult for Amtrak to enforce it, and as a result, people and the American economy suffer.”

I don't buy into this argument. If someone doesn't have the knowledge and motivation necessary to use another platform, they aren't going to be making meaningful contributions to your project.

It might mean less bug reports from users who find bugs, but aren't deeply affected by them.

The upside is a lot less garbage in your issue tracker.
I do not see the connection between homelessness and statistics showing economic booms. For example, 20% of people can be experiencing none of the economic gains.

That is the problem with average statistics that do not show the change in distribution.
My suspicion is that we heavily subsidize road-freight traffic by not properly taxing very heavy vehicles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law

Reasonably loaded freight trucks do about 10000x as much damage to roads, per mile. Freight trucks also run a lot further per day than regular vehicles. I know a lot of roads never see any freight haulage at all, but I suspect that major transits (interstate highways) are essentially a way to get the US public to pay for freight haulage jobs. I'd guess that last mile is far less damaging, as the box trucks weigh far less.
> Freight Rail is actually the reason why our passenger rail sucks so much, because in USA, Freight has priority over passengers. So a lot of our passenger rails sit waiting for the freight-trains to pass.

Do you have any sources for this? This doesn't sound correct to me. A train is a queue, there is no priority in regards to crossings that I know of.

Edit:
I stand corrected, Amtrak report does suggest that freight might have a priority. That report is honestly shocking.

Show HN: Bemi for TypeORM – automatic data change tracking
Evgeny, Arjun, and Donna here - we’re building cloud-hosted data change tracking for PostgreSQL. We’re launching our first open-source integration for TypeORM that allows applications to automatically attach additional metadata to database changes. The repo is at https://github.com/BemiHQ/typeorm and our home page is https://bemi.io.

We used to all work together at a startup five years ago, and now have got the gang back together to go full-time on Bemi! We’ve built robust compliance engineering systems before, for example at AngelList, but only recently learned that the tech is useful to other companies. We’ve been following that demand to build a general-purpose tracking solution that can be used for a wide range of use cases such as audit trails, reverting changes made in an API request, testing different application states, etc..

We’ve built Bemi to be lightweight and secure. It takes a practical approach to achieving the benefits of event sourcing without requiring rearchitecting existing code, switching to highly specialized databases, or using unnecessary git-like data versioning abstractions. We want your system to work the way it already does with PostgreSQL to allow keeping things as simple as possible.

We plug in at both the database and application levels, to get reliability, performance, and also a comprehensive understanding of every change.

On the database level, we ingest changes using change data capture (CDC). On the application level, our library allows passing application context and metadata to the write-ahead logs (WAL) automatically. We then stitch the change data together and store it in a structured format in a destination cloud PostgreSQL.

We plan to charge for storage and compute if you’re a company storing >1M changes a month. We’re still early and it’d be amazing to get HN’s feedback.

What do you think HN?

Does it? Does it really?

Excuse my facetiousness, but I don't think time matters at all for businesses. I don't think I've ever been in a spot where time really mattered. It's always been about people's perception of time mattering. And by people I mean upper management.

Realistically, if you axed everyone except counsel from the executive team, your business would survive. If you have paying customers, they will continue paying for the product, regardless of whether X or Y feature that customer research (and championed by some goon) says is a !MUST HAVE!

The only time time matters is in startups, where you will run out of money until you can find a sucker to give you more (whether that be VCs or customers!).
It is, I fully expect at some point we'll get "in game" MMORPG player characters that are emotively very very effective. The immersion level will be pretty intense at that point, especially if it's VR but even a 3rd person view type like WoW using a web cam to process your facial expression?

Another interesting application would be "zoom" meetings where everyone is shown around the table or in the audience and it processes their emotive state in real time. That could help speakers engage with the audience in a better way.

Of course the "bad" uses of this tech are pretty out there too, from porn apps, to ripping people off by getting a "zoom" from a relative.
Your making a pretty broad claim with no evidence. Can you provide some evidence?
How you too, can get folks to react with deafening silence, and deep assumptions of deep psychosis, by building a demonstrable prototype in your garage, that can make anyone appear to "hallucinate" voice.

This project takes existing concepts, and historical demonstrations, and proposes a new way of generating the RF pulses (now with an SDR), before then amplifying the pulses to get an already well-established result:
The perception of cranial voice, or "hearing voice in your head", by pulse modulating the microwave auditory effect, with audio waveforms.
That is the core capability that this project will deliver, as a GNU Radio Companion module, that any RF hacker can freely copy and implement, for just several thousand USD in used parts.

Many readers find a deeply held personal excuse, to call this merely mental illness, to make this all just go away, because that's all they can handle themselves. That attitude is being directly confronted, with solid science and RF engineering. If this is all just schizophrenia, take a seat, and come "hallucinate" with me.

Please take the time to read. There's a stickied dark and offensive Substack writeup, about popular knee-jerk reactions, that I don't need.

“Real” meaning “adjusted for inflation”.

Are you sure? My B+G access points still work with modern equipment - they are slow, but they work (I need to get them to a recycler as I don't use them). Newer standards are diminishing returns - older equipment is likely to be good enough far into the future just because it is unlikely anything will really need faster.
> But it makes it exceptionally hard!

I suppose that depends on what you mean by "hard". I don't think it makes it exceptionally hard at all, but it does mean you have to actually think about the design decisions you're making. I also consider that to be a good thing -- we should be carefully considering our design decisions.

Yup, correct, I use FastMail and Zoho. I used Zoho for my clients' emails because it's just so cheap to add extra users. $1/mo/user. Which makes it easy to resell to clients and not worry about margin. I just found more personal preference for FastMail for managing my own stuff.

I have about 5 domain emails (different domains), 3 Gmails (down from 10!), and some from from Zoho I all manage in FastMail. It was a breathe of fresh air after leaving GSuite. I pay for the $50/yr plan ($5/mo monthly).

Hard to say what FastMail would add for you. It checked my boxes at the time I was switching from GSuite/GMail but it has been a quality of life improvement for sure

macOS support will be a big deal. GitHub's macOS runners are straight trash. They are painfully slow and horribly expensive. In same cases I've wondered if it made sense to build part of my project on linux then build the last bit on macOS since macOS minutes are 10x as expensive _and_ the same operation is noticeably slower. In the end the savings weren't worth the complexity and development time. That said, GitHub should be ashamed of how bad their macOS runners are.

Something I'd like to see: internal conduit with pull lines that you can use to thread any "wire-like" material through the walls. Need to run a long HDMI cable? Open access panel, pull out existing bundle, clip your cable to it, use pull line to bring it back through the house. Same for Ethernet. In-home fiber becomes cost-competitive? Replace your Ethernet lines with it. Same for any new technologies.

We should also do this for city infrastructure, eg. have conduit runs under the street that are a public right-of-way, and then any new company that invents a new telecommunications/energy/etc technology can pay the city to run its lines through existing infrastructure instead of having to dig up streets or beg the electric company for space on poles.
