A friend of mine was hit with a "prank" that created a directory hierarchy so deep the OS couldn't get down to the lowest levels of it. Not even `rm -rf` would work, and I couldn't `cd` to the lower levels to start deleting things one at a time.

I realized I could `mv` the top level directory to a sibling of its head, rather than to the child of it, cd into that, delete all the files, then do the same with any subdirs. So I was able to script that and started deleting the files/dirs from the top, rather than the bottom up. Took a while, but worked.

Unfortunately, "high taxes on the wealthy" are deeply flawed because they impact capital investment the most, not luxury consumption (which would in fact be a legitimate target but often is largely exempted from taxation, because "jobs" or whatever). They amount to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Ask HN: How and why did you leave web development?
I'm pretty fed up with web development. I've spent actual money on making my resume get past ATS, have 8+ years (+4 if you count hobby before that) of what I consider to be fairly solid experience, and have applied to 200+ places and only gotten like 4 interviews. Everyone that has a job right now has convinced themselves that they just are better and keep giving me answers like "it's a numbers game" and "do leetcode". It's clear survivorship bias and it's weak advice imo.

I'll probably never work at FAANG, I'll never be able to add a ivy league school to my resume and honestly knowing that at any moment I can go several months without being able to find a job...that's scary.

Are there industries in software development in general that are not struggling like this, where it's not as competitive? Is there hope that I can transition and specialize in something else besides backend web dev and not have this problem? Or is the key to get out of software altogether? I'd really like to stay in software. I've been staring at a monitor since I was 12 for a reason. Giving up software feels like it would break me after all the work I've put in.

What did you do? What would you do? Where are we? Who am I?

You can in theory extend the length of a counter flow heat exchanger to get whatever efficiency you want. In practice, such a long heat exchanger would transfer significant amounts of heat to/from its environment. So then you are limited by how well you can insulate things.

Regarding the connection with an artist - I think it’s overrated. I don’t really care about Lady Gaga life experience to enjoy her songs.

Before CPU throttling or fan speed control, I wanted my 486 to be quieter when it wasn't doing much.

My siblings and I had built a 486DX/40. Intel's chips topped out at 33MHz until you got into the clock-doubled DX2/50 (which ran its bus at 25 MHz) or the DX2/66 (33). But AMD's DX/40 wasn't clock-doubled, the core and the bus both ran at 40MHz. In the days before accelerated graphics, all pixel-pushing went through the CPU, so this was a very big deal for games.

It also ran hot enough that a CPU fan, optional-but-a-good-idea on slower chips, was an absolute necessity here. But the fan (a little 40mm Crystal Cooler™) would never be described as silent.

So when I wasn't gaming, I'd remove the 3.5" floppy drive from the case (it was in a modular sled, and the cables had enough slack that I could just unplug it), then reach in through the resulting opening, and re-jumper the clock-generator IC on the motherboard. Live, and blind. I knew that moving the jumper-cap one position towards me would go from 40MHz to 8, and that was enough to seriously drop the heat. The first time I did this I was flabbergasted that the machine didn't crash, but evidently it was fine? The no-jumper state was something like 12MHz or whatever, so presumably it was just blipping through that speed as I moved the jumper.

Then I'd unplug the CPU fan and enjoy the silence. This was particularly nice during a long download, where servicing the UART ISR didn't exactly take much processor time.

Even better, the computer room was in the basement, and the FM radio signal from my favorite station was pretty weak. So weak that, if I tuned just a smidge off to the side of the station, my radio receiver would pick up little ticks of interference from the computer, while still being able to hear the music. This meant I could turn off the monitor too, and just listen to music while downloading whatever file.

When the ticks stopped, the UART buffer was no longer triggering an interrupt, meaning the download was done, so I could turn the monitor back on and resume my BBS session, clock the CPU back up and plug the fan back in to unzip the file in a reasonable amount of time, and otherwise get on with my day.

I guess you could call this piracy 3.0.

I haven't known a time in my life, where not one or another acquaintance of mine liked to rant about the evils of "neoliberalism". Every single one of them had a different idea of what the term means. I've even heard an interview with a person who seems to equate it to a certain brand of neo-marxism.

It's a mess, and always has been. I'm having a hard time taking any of this seriously anymore for a while now.

Edit/p.s.

I suppose we can conclude that what defines "neoliberalism" is that it is not well liked by those who like to use the term, everything else about it seems to be in perpetual flux.

This seems pretty incoherent to me. It’s a hodgepodge of complaints about all sorts of things like bad code, slow job running, version control and other stuff. You can say the same things about any complex software. Not sure what the takeaway is supposed to be, as they are not offering any suggestions or alternatives or other products to compare GitHub Actions with. For a free tool, I think the opposite, it’s one of the best CI services I’ve ever used, and you really don’t get perspective until you’ve used something worse.
To the extent that "Modern money theory" makes any logical sense at all, it amounts to essentially a confused retelling of the fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL) - which explains precisely why it is important to keep the national debt under control.
When chemicals float through the air into your nose or mouth and get detected by your brain, that's odor. Conscious perception or unconscious emotional reaction makes no difference, both are odor. If there are no chemicals being emitted or they have no reaction to your nose and your nose doesn't change the signals it's sending to your brain, then you can fairly say it has no odor.

To say that odors aren't odors unless they are consciously perceived is like saying UV isn't light because you don't consciously perceive it. Except it's the same physical phenomena, electromagnetic radiation or chemicals floating through the air, your sensory organs are detecting it (mostly being destroyed by it in the case of UV, but probably not in the case of tear odor...) and your brain is reacting to it even though you don't consciously realize it.

There's nothing in here you haven't already heard:

* He's close with Peter Thiel

* He's an ace networker (but, completing the stereotype, is also an introvert)

* He left YC, not entirely voluntarily, because he was too committed to OpenAI to do the YC job

* Echoing YC, the OpenAI board tried to oust him over concerns that he was being manipulative and pursuing outside interests (a chip firm) that conflicted with the mission

The article doesn't seem to have much to say past that. If you go to an Altman house party, you'll apparently get a blanket if you want one. But, like, you'll also get one of those on a Delta flight, so.

It feels like people are a bit obsessive about this guy.

I am definitely generalizing. It does seem to be a common sentiment expressed when this gets brought up though. Whether it's just an instance of me clinging on to anything to distinguish from AI or if it's a legitimate problem remains to be seen I guess.

And there definitely are songs I feel I just enjoy in their own right.

As for 'make' I guess that just comes down to semantics.

Ask HN: Why are most web services spoofing the "From" header?
Some examples:

"'Amazon Web Services' via Redacted - Admin" <admin@redacted.com>
'Mezmo, Inc.' via Redacted Inc. - Admin <admin@redacted.com>
'service@intl.paypal.com' via Redacted - Admin <admin@redacted.com>
noreply-spamdigest via Redacted - Support <support@redacted.com>
'Shopify Partners' via Redacted Inc. - Admin <admin@redacted.com>

It seems that most services are doing this. Some notable exceptions:

Heroku Billing Team <team.notifications@herokumanager.com>
Wise <info@wise.com>

What on earth could be the justification for this practice? How is this not considered spoofing?
When I started to look at the instruction set of the 816 more closely (and a coworker of mine was writing an emulator at the same time) it became clearer to me why Mensch went the route he did;

a) there just wasn't room in the 8-bit instruction encoding in the '02 to cleanly add 16-bit (or 24-bit etc) versions of each instruction. So instead of moving out into multibyte instructions, he introduced the mode switch and

b) he seems to have done this by doing very minimal surgery to the 6502 core itself, basically adding some 16-bit shunts (depending on mode) in front of the decoder to just change the register sizes and behaviors really. (apart from the improvements like adding relocatable direct page and movable stack, like the 6809 got)

c) apple wanted something that fit in a 40-pin DIP, to fit into existing motherboard design constraints presumably... and for it to support full 6502 compatibility. so we got this awful address bus multiplexing thing, and even after moving up into other packaging, he never fixed that (oddly he later made a microcontroller, the 65C265, that has all 24 pins without multiplexing). If he'd just started with PDIP-64 like the MC68000, so much agony would have been saved.

I think it's a shame really. We could have had a 16/24 version of the 6502 with fewer compromises if the 816 had been a more "serious" project from Apple. But at the time the IIgs was in progress and WDC commissioned to work on the chip, I suspect there was already the politics within Apple about killing the Woz-line in favour of the 68k Mac. We had IIgs systems in my primary school, and they only ever got used as Apple II clones.

I had an Atari ST, and while the 68000 was a great chip, it was clearly targeted towards "VAX" class or workstation type applications originally. Its overall complexity is quite high, and interrupt responsiveness very slow, when compared to the 6502. It would have been interesting to see a Mensch-designed 16/[24/32]-bit processor that kept the same minimalist philosophy as the 6502. Paired with a chipset like what was in the Amiga, I think it would been really cool.

Though maybe the ARM line is that, in some ways.

modern wool products are less durable, as the way the more cost efficient methods wool is spun now leads to less alignment of the threads (especially so with modern cashmere). Luckily you can still pick up good products secondhand. look for brands like Pringle, from the 70s and to a lesser extent the 80s

You can look at the logic to calculate segments. I don't pretend that it's great, but that could be a nice addition to your server.
