I know you’re trying to be kind, but I honestly think this response is part of the discourse the author outlines. Individualising distress and pathologising the rejection of surveillance capitalism as paranoia troubles me.

Funnily, left London in 2004, feeling much the same as the author does now. The direction of travel was clear, and the inauthenticity and authoritarianism inherent in corporate ownership of all public space was becoming apparent event back then. 2005 bombings just made it worse, because individuals were also rightly fearful and I think this accelerated acquiescence to surveillance and control of public spaces even further and faster.

What is odd about European cities now is that the energy of youth is completely bound up in the ways the author describes. The only authentic communities are smaller ones, away from the periphery. But unlike in the past these are not dominated by young people and youth cultures, and so lack some of the energy and excitement that London or NY in the 70s seem to have had.
Which is of course a bullshit reason because Linux distributions don't ship the patented hardware decoders (because they are hardwared) so the user already has to assemble the complete system.

Much more limited HW support and slow as molasses encoders. Not exactly a good choice for most.

Sad. When I was young, I worked every weekend for 6 months straight during a hot summer washing boats and was able to save up just enough money to buy an entry level Toshiba laptop. I didn't even think I could afford a laptop at the time and was saving up for a desktop machine so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw it in the shop at such good price.

It was a great purchase. Lasted me years. I self-taught myself coding on that machine. I owned a few Toshiba laptops since. It was my go-to brand. After they started disappearing from shops, I ended up going with HP, then Dell then Asus. None of them were quite the same standard as Toshiba.

Even if somebody put such a thing, or two, in the standard library there would be again someone showing that they managed to come up with a better solution. For their workload. And under constraints that are only valid under their use-case and constraints that only they would know. Not standard library developers. And that's the thing - the premise that "one size fits all" even exists is wrong. I used to think that way as well but generic solutions to high-performance algorithms do not really exist.

True, bitcoin miners have probably figured out quite a few things to which I'm fairly oblivious. I always regarded that movement as a complete waste of computing power. Turns out at least some of their stuff may turn out to be useful for LLMs...

As for the specs, I went new Threadripper way simply because that's AFAIK where You'll get the best balance of PCIe 5.0 lanes (for the memory bandwidth between the GPUs) and power.

I see how You could spec this out with some used Xeon, but for one I really wouldn't like the headache and another, You're probably getting PCIe 2.0/3.0 tops (if You're trying to cut costs that much).

That Supermicro You mention seems to be an interesting compromise. The MB is selling second hand for about ~700EUR in the EU. The Threadripper that goes into it... don't know, can't find them used, but guessing something under 1k EUR as well.

Interesting price, but then on top of the risk of using old parts, instead of partitioning PCIe 5.0 (and maybe having the option to go 4.0 and double the count, since Your GPUs are PCIe 4.0 anyway), You're now splitting straight 4.0 lanes to Your GPUs. Half the bandwidth, but it may end up not mattering all that much. Given that most LLMs are memory size / memory bandwidth limited, I probably wouldn't like to risk this. But that's just me...
Absolutely. These things basically say to others what is going on in your own home.

To have domotic connected to a wifi or internet is a no go.

If I were to have it for a really heavy weighted reason, seeing the current state of things, I would have previously to spend months developing non standard custom encryptions with hidden rotatory keys methods of my own, custom non standard protocol, connections monitoring and so on. And even like that I would feel cautious, It would need to be a real weighted reason.

I can not understand how is it possible the people is using IoT without needing it, totally naked, without even demand any kind of protection designs, or/and even giving third parties all that information, because it can be even dangerous.

Semi-Of-topic:

I would like to have a lidar vacuum cleaner, for to clean effectively zones without collisions with a mapping, etc. Past year I took a look to manufacturers and models, but it seems that from the beginning, when they started to sell them years ago, those devices with mapping require to be connected to the wifi and to the internet; they submit the mapping of your home to internet, the manufacturer server, for to let you make use of such mapping for to run the vacuum cleaner. Oh my...

I could not even find more information on the forums (in several languages), people don't seem to find this as a inconvenient? for me it's an absolute no go.

All of this is approaching the classic dystopian books that should remain in the sci-fi section.
> Ironically under the Soviet Union Poland was one of the first Countries in the whole Europe (and probably the World) to have legal abortion

>> the law was first introduced in the Russian SFSR in 1920

Poland was never part of the Soviet Union. It became socialist and part of the eastern block only after WW2, so I doubt the legal abortion date.

Also I mean, yeah the eastern block was quite progressive in some ways, but human rights were not one of them. Some of the gain were hugely offset by the millions of people who were tortured and killed by the system. Also much more blood thirsty in the Soviet Union than in Communist Poland.

I don't think the author is suggesting that either. It reads to me that he's suggesting that there are more systemic forces occurring that are disposing of meaningful individual interactions over time.

Individual players like Visa or Tesco aren't intentionally acting to destroy a city's culture, but they are thinking about their economic share of transactions, which happens to push society toward a different cultural norm as a side effect.

Luckily this wasn't the problem, because kids were still learning, maybe at little slower pace, but on the other hand got to learn a lot of things they otherwise wouldn't get to learn in school. Do you use all the knowledge you learned in school? Have you not learned anything new since then?
I'm not too familiar with eBPF (yet, keep meaning to dig into it).

But I believe tcpdump just opens a AF_PACKET socket, and it will add a BPF filter if one is specified.

I don't know enough to say how this relates to the eBPF stuff, but I think internally the kernel may convert the BPF program to eBPF.

Not only that, but modding becomes easier as well, and modding is a big part of the game.

If all the electricity stuff was jammed into just one System, it would be harder to modify just some parts of it while remaining compatible with other mods modifying other parts.

Instead, Systems are broken down into relevant parts so modders can add easier to it or replace whole Systems, without replacing ALL electricity code.
>The best approach is separating the calling of the external dependency (getting the time) to it's own function

That is the FP maximalist approach and many of us reject it.

So no, it is not the best approach.

We use a time provider interface and mock it, and have zero problems with this approach.
I have never in my life felt that countries matter. That a person might be better off in one country than another. As such I cannot understand the feelings in this article even though I am Bulgarian and know the events by heart.

My parents spent 15 years of their life in Spain and hated every second of it. They hated it so much because I wasn't there with them. And they had a horrinle opinion of the culture and daily life there.
While in opposite my 2 uncles that went with them and took their own kids with them, like it there and have never went back.

I with half the life span of my parents believe that personal issues and events completely eclipse any effect the political and cultural environment has. For me political and/or cultural events were just a new conversation topic in my social circles. Something to be part of because well everyone is part of it.

All my life I've been told that there is opportunity abroad, there is opportunity in the capital, in X large city. But opportunity isn't somewhere it just arises sometimes. I know for sure that opportunity doesn't come while sitting in one place you don't like.

But what I am trying to say is that: cities and countries aren't really colored in a specific way. They aren't dull, closed, eventful and such, they just are places. They have as much effect on an individual as does a single individual on them. Even so undoubtedly some places have a personal color to us - my parents will never again try to work in Spain and it would not end well if they did. I myself will never go back to the town of my high school, but others like it there.
> Testing third-party code is often well within the purview of first-party integration testing.

Emphasis mine. Exactly? Not unit testing as OP is about and GP claimed (rightly imo) doesn't cover it.

Unless we mean offline integration testing as a mid-tier before system testing; in which case I'd probably mock third party services (and others of my own not under test) personally.

It's not the end for Toshiba, it's just the end of their presence on the stock market. And that's fine, companies can be 'taken private' again just as they can IPO.

> With Type A for 127V, the worldwide standard for 120V plugs.

That would be going backwards, and losing all the safety features of the new NBR 14136 ("type N") standard; to make it worse, we already did use something like "type A" (with "universal" sockets which accepted both flat and round pins, and sometimes even grounded "type B" together with these two, it was a mess) for both 127V and 220V, so you'd still have (in older buildings) these "type A" plugs being used for 220V.

Yeah, it takes an absurd amount of tuning to make search work well. Given how poorly the average search field works in almost anything, it's fair to say this crucial step isn't happening.

I suspect a lot of organizations just don't have workflows that would tolerate someone spending a month tweaking search algorithm parameters. It doesn't look enough like work.

Code documentation and overall project documentation are boring to do, yet required for long term success of any software project. It helps with on-boarding new engineers as well as maintaining a log of what transpired over the previous months and years and why certain choices were made. I would also include all team communication over slack, jira, bug trackers etc into this documentation. Writing it, Organizing it, Enhancing it, Updating it and sifting through them is extremely boring work. I have to dig out old e-mails or messages from the ERP from old colleagues if the documentation does not match the actual features, now that is really boring.

What if we switch to the purview of first-party tests of third-party code? Feels like you’re pushing on definitions here instead of matters.

Obviously, you can black box test third party code. It’s absurd to say otherwise.

If not you could craft a page which upvote posts for the current visitor (if they're logged in HN)

You could mitigate it with server side checks (or maybe some new browser tech I don't know about?) but I think the synchroniser token pattern is still the current solution.

> I feel like the most obvious answer is that a developer wanted a personal backdoor for playing pirated games.

My bet would be that it was left in to be more of a “private party trick” than a real means of piracy.

Alien Resurrection came pretty late in the PS1 life cycle, by which time it was much cheaper to get a mod chip fitted to the console then it would be to purchase the game at retail (Even the stealth chips with much better mimicked the correct expected behavior which bypassed in game copy protection checks), and would boot the pirated game much quicker then using this method.

But I guess it could have been a "Well if everything else fails, I'll still have this one weird trick up my sleeve", a method of last resort if Sony managed to pull a rabbit out of their hat in the later revisions of the console, but one that was never needed.
It does seem like they need a reset, and given that need for a reset, a new-starting point: how do they move quickly? I was thinking that LLM could assist in creating a coherent approach, helping in creating code, documentation, etc (i.e. dog-food'ing their 'product') -- what I would think could make this development more rapid.

> > 2. Infinite nesting (indenting/outdenting)
While I understand the utility, this feature might detract from NowDo's core philosophy of simplicity. Our aim is to avoid complexity that might distract from task execution, though I'm always open to re-evaluating features that could enhance user experience without compromising simplicity.

Can I ask you to clarify something? Do you honestly believe that or is this sort of an oblique suggestion that it would be non-trivial/"unsimple" to implement?

FWIT, I have heard commentary over the years that engineering that kind of UI (where things can be dragged and dropped and moved around arbitrarily) in the way Todoist uses as its competitive advantage is diffcult to do and to get right

This is such a mission-critical thing otherwise you're like every other Todoist non-competes scrambling for Todoists crumbs. Its like literally just that to me with the infinite nesting and i can't remember if they allow swipe indenting but thats the most natural/intuitive in combination with drag and drop which can be used together and interchangably.

The issue with Todoist is they want to retain full control and deny your data portabillity and soverignty. They demand you sync thru their unencrypted (to them) cloud because they demand control or at least access to user content which they seem unwilling or unable to concede they won't leverage should buy-out talks begin.

No deal for them because of that but they still have the best UI (Sorted really is the closest thing and what I use alternatively) but theres no reason you can't swoop in and implement particularly 2 but probably all the things I've mentioned because that will be your path to folks like me showering you with money and actually out of desire for a superior self-funded project that respects and affirms our autonomy and allows for you to distinguish yourself in a non-trivial way.

Thanks

Edit: if you can cross-breed Todoist + Strongbox (KeePass) I will buy whatever you come up with provided the UI is closer to Todoist and the functionality captures both aha

Edit: infinite nesting ≈ subtasks but it can't be arbitraily limited to like 2-3 or whatever levels. If you find it philosophically problematic you could offer the user an advanced settings option that lets them toggle how many levels of abstraction/nesting levels they want to enforce and they can experiment and modify that as they settle in to your app and their own workflow
