It could take from hundreds to thousands of years to reach to a new stable, that may be worse than Cretaceous period. But the problem is not just the final temperature, but the speed of change. Adaptation takes time, with things changing as fast as now few things will survive, and that may not include us.

Just echoing Martin, but: if you can show the repository that is causing this, or at least a screenshot (or something) showing what you're seeing and post it on GitHub, one of us should at least be able to help figure out what's going on.
Romero seems like a guy who has a ton of fantastical designs that needs a more conservative designer to help trim them down and bring them into reality. For id Software, that was Tom Hall.

Some of the Roman legions were extremely long lived (Ship of Theseus and all - the military tend to nurture their histories)[1]. The X Fretensis, for example existed for more then 400 years [2].

Well, capital loss carryover needs an inflation index in a bad way anyway. It was introduced into the tax code 45 years ago and it hasn't changed since. There was a proposal a year ago to bump it to $13,000 and index it to inflation but apparently did not get the necessary votes.
What a time to be a kid. Computers and games were absolute magic.

Some of us were lucky enough to have a 386 and if we squished the screen down far enough we could get a reasonable framerate. Some of us were lucky enough to have mates with a 386. I was particularly lucky in that my mates dad had a small pc store in his shed. So we also had a laplink cable for transferring software and a serial cable for multiplayer gaming.

Again, it was magic.

Edit: without wanting to sound too “get off my lawn”. I was loading up some games on a tablet for a flight with the kids today and they just don’t care that much. They could get a new game at any moment. For us a new game was a rarity. If one of us got a new game from somewhere we’d bmx over to our mates so they could copy it. I recall a friend getting the quake demo and zipping it on to 8 disks for me, the 6th of which was corrupt. It took a week of back and forth before I finally got to play it.
On the other hand, I've switched to using Typer for most of my argument parsing because it's not an object I have to pass around. It lets me have the arguments co-located with the code, which is convenient. Especially for more complicated argument parsing, like one of my commands for our deploy process which has maybe 15 sub-commands, that sort of parsing with argparse is kind of a nightmare.
"Refactoring UI" won't make you a good UI designer on its own, but it's a great place to start. It's the perfect book if after making some software you feel like the design is amateurish and want to know how to start improving it.

And then if you're interested you can dig deeper into colors, layouts, types...
Or if you want to feel a little fancy, a 3-sided folding project board with foam glued to it.

> When will corporations get scared?

In my personal experience, n=1, it appears that most publicly traded corporations are concerned with the future as far out as 4 financial quarters, maximum.

Executive compensation is tied to stock price, so that is the depth of focus.

I have only had one gig at a public company, and it put me off of at working at another. Any longer term planning was derailed by a VP coming into a meeting, spewing shortsighted nonsense, and running off to the next thing.

edit: There are notable exceptions to this short term thinking, but those appear to be corps where a founder was still at the helm. ex: NVIDIA, Tesla.
Supabase Engineer here, happy to answer any questions!

We've made a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint[0] available to our customers for quite a while now, which is actively used by customers to monitor their projects.

Setting up a metrics scraper and a Grafana instance, all while figuring out how and where to host it can pose a lot of friction for folks which haven't had much hands-on infrastructure experience.

This aims to cut down on that friction, and allow everybody to deploy it on Docker-compatible platforms and services, such as Fly.io.

The included dashboard has significant overlap with what Supabase is using internally to monitor and debug project infrastructure.

> Would you think von der Leyen were actually elected president, had the population been given the chance to vote?

Who knows. Do you think Mike Johnson would have been elected speaker of the US House of Representatives if the population had been given a chance to vote? "The people vote on everything" is not how any modern democracy works - no, not even Switzerland's (where it's parliament who votes for the government and not regular people).

There are regular elections to the European parliament. The reason why the EU can push things like chat control (which I agree is terrible) is because frankly, many people don't care about privacy or IT in general. Just take a look at the UK, it's not part of the union anymore, but it still hasn't stopped proposing horrible IT regulation. This has nothing to do with the EU and everything with the fact that scare tactics like "terrorism" and "child abuse" work for a lot of people.

Yes, but what the poster meant is that it would be and that is confirmed in the images.
It's the rate of change that is significant. If the change took place over tens or hundreds of thousands of years, climates and species would adapt, and the positive and negative changes could roughly balance. But it is happening on the decade scale, and negative shocks happen faster than positive ones.

Overall LFS feels a very hacky tacked on solution with warts.

Git LFS is horrible if you mistakenly add some file(s) to LFS.

Restoring to LFS-less state is supposed to be easy but it is always very painful.

There should be a way to tell repo - I do not want any LFS at all. In practice this is painful, and it is easier to start a new repo....

Also for some reason Github/Microsoft decided to "monetize" LFS. The freebie limits are 1GB for hosting AND transfer! Then the charges get very expensive.

I am not sure why Github LFS is priced like some AWS S3 plan not OneDrive plan.
I mean, you can just Google RefactoringUi PDF and it's the top result. Me linking the url makes little difference.
They’re listening to economists that tell them the effects on GDP will be negligible, and in fact mitigation measures may be very profitable.

> so having an ID for each block will make the plaintext look out of place (say, if you wanna move your files to another app).

Indeed, this is definitely a problem for Logseq. For example here's some of my recent Logseq notes. This is one page where you can see an "ID" (represented by `id:: <guid>` is created. Then helpful images/diagrams are displayed. This is then referenced later:

- Parts of a [[Neuron]]
id:: 64f4bdc3-29de-4b6c-bc41-20a5f052badf

Then in a different page, this is referenced by ID. In this case it is "embedded" but you can also reference and other possibilitie:

My qualms with Apple were more practical, e.g. their godforsaken keyboard layout. I ended up installing XP on that machine, which somehow angered both the MS and the Apple fans.

For games, I just stopped playing and ask for refund on gog or steam anything that doesnt work on wine. Im not much of a hardcore gamer though. I tolerate some nuisances, e.g. Timberborn wont let you alt tab away ( I tolerated that from XP too I guess).

Proctoring software is nasty, though. I have no windows machines left, so I dont know what I would do. Ask to take the test with them, I think?

My sons school software somehow works better on Linux than on the school PCs with windows, but schools have notoriously old hardware so that might be the issue too.

In the end, it's a free country. Anyone still happy on Apple or Windows, be my guest. But I knew a competent IT colleague that questioned my competence daily because I ran Debian at home (And Vista on the job like everyone over there). My response to him stays: Go away and leave me alone.
If we expect humans can live on Mars and the Moon, I'd expect we could continue to live on Earth and besides, mammals have existed on Earth for over 100 million years, surviving even the extinction event the destroyed dinosaur species. I'm not saying I'm not worried or things would be ideal, I'm just doing some back of the envelope checking.

How does Skytable achieves this? In other words, what makes it different than others?
I’ve taken and assisted for classes that had “mandatory” attendance. In the sense that missing classes would come out of your grade.

Sometimes it was implemented as a direct role-call. Some classes have a “participation” component which is really just a fuzzy attendance grade. Some classes have random graded in-class quizzes, which also function as a stochastic attendance check.

Generally I hate all of these things IMO low attendance is the instructor’s last, most dramatic barometer to indicate poor instruction, and subverting this measurement is a terrible idea. But it is definitely different for k-12!
They’re not just annoying, they’re more dangerous than AI could ever be.
I don't like to side with Chomsky, but he's right. The French postmodernists invented a nonsense language primarily to sell books. Postmodernism is the last dying gasps of a branch of philosophy which has found itself increasingly irrelevant since its main thinkers turned out to be utterly wrong about every single political position they held dearest
I use Claude 2.1 to create summaries and TOCs of the magazines on my magazine encyclopedia. There is no way I could do that by hand for several million magazines averaging 100 pages each.
It would be fantastic to put a bunch of different LLMs in a game map with “senses” fulfilled by multimodal inputs and agency to carry out actions within the game’s universe. With a goal such as make the most money or rule the most kingdoms, it would be super interesting to see how it self organizes.
could see these "statistics" being used to gauge to public response to political decisions. That's pretty dystopian. "President Biden, the 'data' shows your response to Palestine was not very popular".
You might find it interesting that suggestions are shifting. It largely depends on the roast level, darker roasts should have a fresher date. However there are now some "Nordic light" roasters that specifically recommended 2 or 3 months of resting for the coffee. The flavor does change over that period, not really getting stale but some flavors deepen and improve.
Ask HN: Repo encryption and decryption for private repositories on GitHub
Hi all

Considering encrypting repository content before pushing and decrypting after cloning a private repository's content.

Why? The copilot training debacle and disregard for developer's licensing choice. Shows intent, I don't like it.

What's the question? Would it be considered abuse - storage related - if github can not assert what the content is?

Any experiences, professional opinions, and/or tools to enable this without further problems for the organisation in regards to ToS are welcomed.

Thanks, have a great weekend.

See point 2. Vim isn't for 99% of people but it's somehow the default editor? Most people do not like Vim. That's why this project advertises not having to use Vim, because to 99% of people Vim is something that they don't want or like and can't even quit.

The 787 has no hull losses at all right? And it’s been flying for 10 years now.
Git does have one big architectural problem IMO - native unit of storage is a blob, not a diff. Things like rebase, cherry-pick, 3-way merge, etc would be much easier in a world where the storage model was “diffs” instead of “blobs”.
This would have resulted in simpler CLI tools with fewer pitfalls.

This is why I'm high on the metaverse long term. In ten years, there will be a $500 (or whatever the 2033 inflation adjusted value is) VR headset that blows the Apple Vision Pro out of the water in terms of optics, will run a highly optimized version of the lastest revision of Llama locally (and it will be much better than anything we currently have today), come with wifi 8 (so it will have multigigabit per second real word performance), capable of rendering graphics that look much more realistic than Unreal Engine 5 (with high frame rates due to AI upscaling and frame generation).

There will be people that will spend almost every waking hour with one of those things attached to their face if they can also make this device lightweight and comfortable

Sure, by all means; clear, specific requirements that precisely define are very welcome.

Then, once you've done that, recognise that what comes in will not match what you said and you can either have software that doesn't do what the users need and want it to do, or software that accepts input that doesn't quite match requirements.
I am asking you how will you tell the HR person overseeing your application that you have "mastered" Knuth's TAOCP. On paper, you have candidate A with university degree and 2 internships and B that sat in his basement and did TAOCP.

Which would you think they'd choose?

>He was an "undergrad" whose first math class was graduate real analysis.

This is unlikely, he'd still have to pass undergrad Math exams. I'd wager there are plenty of those for a 4 year degree.

> but can be extremely valuable, and open a lot more doors than graduating with a class of 10,000 other CS students.

You need to convince the hiring manager that the skills are extremely valuable. No one is going to take the word for it. Deep theoretical CS doesn't always translate to industry success. The flaw in your reasoning is that you'd try to impress some hardcore CS guy from super-duper company with TAOCP. But they already get 10s of thousands of applications. It won't even get the resume read without a BsC. All the companies which talk like broken records that they don't care about degrees, actually do care about them a *lot* and in your first intro call they'd ask about it if you even get that far.

Keep in mind during interview you have to implement the algorithm fast in a common language Java, C++ or Python. Just being theoretical about it isn't enough.
I have been looking for a good alternative for self-hosted git that focuses on being decentralized and easy to self host, so this might be it. Something that leverages a more decentralized identity, so that people can send contributions without signing up to my site.

Currently, I use gitolite + cgit for self-hosting my projects but it has the obvious limitations that I have no public bug tracker nor an email list that people can use for contribution or discussions. This works for my personal projects since people can just send me email patches, but if I ever want to scale the project I am out of luck. Having something like the Sourcehut's todo and mailing list functionality would solve that. I think if this project manages to provide that, I would absolutely love to test it out.

Edit: Just noticed that it has gitbug support, which is really cool! That essentially means that you are able to access your bugs directly from the terminal / whenever you're offline. Afterward, when you are online again you can commit your changes/comments/etc.
This is definitely arm-chair quarter-backing, but wouldn't ground effect allow for a lower stall-speed?
Usually I yank into like p or something when I want to not just paste later, but delete something and then paste. I hate it when I delete something to make room for what I paste and it gets rid of it. Then I fumble with the numbered registers and mess it up.

Look at the context of the thread. It is likely that even chatgpt would pick up on the explicitly mentioned NATO, and its power.
Some of us have been discussing it even since before this wave of generative AI; it's just the rest of y'all (not sure if you, personally fall into this group) don't want to hear that the only compassionate or way forward is UBI.

The automation we've been working on for decades is aimed—often explicitly—at eliminating the need for human beings to do certain kinds of jobs. Any philosophy or policy that does not then say, "...and then we will use the extra productivity to support those people in perpetuity" is morally bankrupt as well as failing to recognize social and economic realities we've known for hundreds of years.
I disagree with this sentiment (I didn't downvote you though). Most serious terminal users are in fact concerned with millisecond latency.

Consider also that typing with 1ms additional latency per keystroke is noticable - even though it sounds counterintuitive.

And note the other threads here with people noting that even the VS Code terminal can get very slow.
Looking at the images, I can't help to think of Umbrella corporation with deep underground safe testing labs with presently problematic lighting.
What I read (did not verify) was that two users discussed and decided on the feature. That's hardly a well deliberated change.

I think for user facing features it makes more sense to provide new behaviors as opt-in, and go through a longer RFC period. Only if and when the new behavior is widely used and popular, then you flip the switch to default.
There are other advantages aside from the static types debate in the other replies. The need for efficient version control systems is a constant and ongoing battle; you can pick the right data structures (for example, Git's issues with large files are more of a data structure problem than one of raw efficiency) but at the end of the day Python will often be behind on raw performance. Rust will hopefully let us embed the Jujutsu libraries inside other languages, something you can only achieve today in Git with something like libgit2. Finally, a lot of the infrastructure we get to use, like nextest and cargo-insta are simply fantastic even if I have my qualms about Cargo.

Most of the developers (some of them being former Mercurial and Git developers) including me generally seem to like it. Based on my own experience, I think it's a pretty excellent choice, but I'd be a bit biased as a die-hard Haskell/C programmer for something fast with types.

The LaserJet Pros are actually still really nice printers. Expensive relative to the rest of the market, but my M479fdw seems to lack all the latest user-hostile features. It doesn't require an app for AirPrint, or anything other than drivers for Windows.

Not looking forward to the $800 or so in toner cartridges it will require when the starter cartridges are exhausted. They will basically double the cost of the printer. But if the quality is there -- and it definitely is -- I'm not one to complain, especially since the $800 is (supposed to be) good for 6000 pages. It should be several years before I have to buy another set.
The real shocker here is that whole-pesticide testing wasn't required in the first place.
I've been, very slowly, working on a small self hosting setup. I tried Gitea and Gogs but they both felt heavy. I'm currently running cgit and gitolite but cgit is too simple for my taste and while gitolite can be customized to do ci/cd with hooks it's a bit much. This looks like it's potentially right in that middle ground between Gitea/Gogs/Gitlab and cgit+gitolite.

It does seem to be entirely lacking documentation though which is a bit rough.
