There are obvious things like, they signed expecting options / functionality, or the email service they use is binning any service / activation emails.

What's less obvious is possibilities such as your sign up html / web code is more robust ... but your service is only compatible with the latest and greatest browsers ... cough Netscape 11 issues, which I have witnessed frequently having an older system. Amazingly I don't cry and look to see how much money is in my wallet to upgrade so I can be part of the jet set ... actually not amazing, I'm just lazy and comfortable.
I agree that bloody solutions are excessive, but at the same time this line of reasoning is why we still have half-an-hour windows updates that overwrite maybe 500Mb in total, which costs few seconds on modern hardware. I bet that this “stupid knee-jerk reaction” brought e.g. Macs and iPhones to where they are instead of a lifeless dump full of mediocre alternatives.

And what is that guy going to do the rest of the time?

That’s classic pre-devops dilemma. Let’s fire all these slackers and get screwed next week. How about nothing to do means they’re doing an excellent job.

So what?

As someone famous said, "Quantity is a quality on its own"
Yes. I switched from Ubuntu to NixOS ~18 months ago. I am so much happier with NixOS than ubuntu. Its the easiest packaging system I've used where you can easily mix and match stable and unstable packages without worrying about a huge mess of dependencies. I also find myself much more empowered to upgrade packages for security patches myself since I know that I can add an overlay to update the package and everything will just build.

And yet... there's so much I just don't understand. Doing simple overlays is relatively easy, but anything of moderate complexity really becomes frustrating.

It makes it quite difficult to recommend NixOS when the chasm between being able to use it vs being able to understand it is so wide.
What point would you like me to hit? Surveillance even if it's passive and I have nothing to hide is probably the biggest reason for most of my habits. Money and trust. The other reason is probably mental health, reducing stimulus helps me dramatically with anxiety. I typically walk around with headphones in silence. I can still hear everything, it's just quieter. If you do it long enough you'll know what I mean.

I agree with you, they have a big impact on several levels: noise, landscape, soil, wildlife and even local economy (would you like to go on a rural escape to a beautiful mountain village full of roads and metal giants)?

Where I live in Spain there are several associations trying to prevent the installation of wind turbines in many of the beautiful mountains that are otherwise going to be industrialised [1].

I recommend joining local associations if you want to prevent wind turbines from being installed on your home.

One can use any finite field. GF(256) is popular, since it allows computers to split one byte at a time. Plus, there are many implementations of GF(256) operations, since the same field is also used in AES. In GF(256), the addition operation is indeed XOR, as you write.

If your field size is a prime number, the maths become simpler, since you can use "regular" integer addition and multiplication modulo the field size.

For psst, there is some information here about why we chose GF(5): https://github.com/Sjlver/psst/blob/main/docs/design-choices...

There are so many assumptions packed in that post it feels weird to try to unpack them; eg, the implication the "local" Ukrainian equipment would be by default inferior to Russian equipment, which doesn't seem obvious at all to me.

But empirically speaking, the idea that Russian equipment will be better than OTAN equipment because of their combat experience is pretty bold considering the current domination of OTAN equipment in the Ukraine-Russia war.
Yes that would work and be safer in a number of ways. I think I always avoided that because it requires 2 operations (delete and insert) and a tiny bit of added complexity. I think I’ll try that approach the next time I do something like this.

My new Samsung induction oven has an app. That app doesn’t do the only functionality I could ever care about - turn it on to preheat! Best it does is allow you to set the temp and bake/broil etc, but then you have to physically press start on the oven. What a silly waste of an app.
Don't forget Robert Durst of The Jinx – an American real estate heir got away with murder for decades. The Jinx was a true crime documentary for which Durst, for some reason, agreed to be interviewed. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but at some point throughout the interviewing Durst gave himself away and the evidence accrued within the documentary ended up being used to finally put him behind bars for life.
Other people don't just care about themselves, they care that 400 people might randomly die in the future for no valid reason.

It's entirely plausible.

There's very strong evidence that both sperm counts and testosterone levels are going down (wikipedia it) worldwide over the last 60 years.

The mechanism here would be that many plastics are or contain endocrine disruptors. Or just an unknown mechanism (there's just so much about biology we don't know).

I believe there's also evidence that younger generations are having less sex. There's also a claim that people have much less "mature" (i.e. sexually-developed) facial features.

Of course this could all be tested by a proper study.

Now back to your point, your first reaction might be "All my friends aren't having kids because they don't want to, none are trying and can't." But if sex-drive is down across the board that may explain it. America doesn't even self-replace (unless you count new immigrants).
(I have a heat pump)

You can get electricity at 7.5pkWh. With a battery, I get 12h of cheap electricity per day, and the rest at higher prices.

At the coldest time of the year, I'm getting an average of 20pkWh.

This is just a fraction above break even gas/electric.

The rest of the year its no contest, heat pump wins.

My energy usage for heating is down by 60% year on year

My bills are the same as they were 3 years ago.

Don't think that the West will go for "quantity over quality" in its arms' race with China/Russia, it has stopped doing that for at least 30 years (since they scrapped most of the Cold War-related arms industry).

So time for a history lesson.

First, who am I? I'm JayF -- I've been working on OpenStack for about a decade, and am the currently serving TC Chair. This is not an official history, but my attempt to give you the story behind this from my perspective.

OpenDev collaboratory originally started as part of OpenStack itself -- as the team that enabled us to test the giant software suite. When it became clear that the tooling created and used by that team had general interest, it became time for them to spin off into their own group. I'll note that this maps similarly to what happened with Zuul -- a tool created around OpenStack, that was generally useful and split into it's own project. OpenDev was infrastructure services created around OpenStack and for OpenStack, that are generally useful and split into it's own project.

This context is important as to where it puts things on the timeline: OpenDev, and the associated technologies, were not created as an alternative to some incumbant power like Github or Gitlab -- when it was created, there were few, if any, other tools that could operate at that level of scale. (It's unclear to me if Github, as we think of it today, even existed or was at any level of popularity at this point in time.)

So as this thread hopefully picks up steam, lets avoid terms like "alternative to" or things that miss the context. OpenDev has been around, and open, for a long time. It will continue to be around, and open, for a long time. They aren't going to feed your code into an AI to train it, and they aren't going to try and turn your collaboration toolset into a social media platform. It's a tool to get work done, and I've been lucky to work in it for the last ten years.

You’ve spent this entire thread criticizing the US for foreign military interventions and now you turn around and criticize the US for not intervening soon enough? I’m sorry they didn’t do more to bail out your beloved Soviet Union in the seven months between Operation Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor. (Not really)
The Copyright Office wrote their guidance specifically because someone tried to register a comic book they wrote and put AI art in. They specifically credited Midjourney as co-author.

Their guidance would not apply for someone using AI as a tool, but said copyright would be thinner than if you'd drawn everything by hand. Specifically, you don't own any of the things the AI "just came up with". If you just wrote a prompt and grinded out some results, you probably own nothing[0]. If you use shittons of inpainting to control, say, the overall composition, but the AI filled in pixels somewhere, then you probably still own the overall image, but that's only because I'm not sure how you'd separate the two in a way that would let you copy just the AI-generated portion. Or, in the case of the comic book I mentioned earlier, they own the text, characters, and plot of the comic book, but not the artwork.

[0] Yes, you could probably just lie to the Copyright Office. Make sure to never reveal your use of AI to anyone, because there's loads of angry artists who would love to tattle on you.
Precisely this. Every “solution” I’ve seen approaches RDBMS as an obviously incorrect kludge that must be done away with in the name of DX.

RDBMS hasn’t stuck around this long only because it’s good enough. It’s an incredibly powerful way to model data, for now and the future, but yes, it does require you to think carefully and slow down. These are not things to be avoided.
Unlike the ones you mentioned, Go doesn't have a central repository. The go.mod contains references to git repositories or local folders:

That not proving anything other than that you missed the point that the real world doesn’t always have simple solutions. Sometimes you have to do things which are a bit messy as part of a phased transition and it’s important to know what tools you have available to do so.

The contractor is just a smokescreen in this case. The point is the Government pays the contractor, which is what shows up in subpoenas and congressional budget hearings, and the paperwork says the contract is in support of Such and Such contract.

If someone is using FOIA requests to gather information, They see DOD paid Foobar, inc. $56 million for the FUBAR contract. You then go to FUBAR, and you find the request and parameters, which are 300 pages of word salad, and then you read the proposals, which are 150 words each of a combination of buzzword bingo, legalese, and contracting pandering. None of which makes it obvious that the contract is "Buy data on our behalf, to shield the program from oversight".
Hopefully this case will be the final nail in the coffin of private prosecutions. We don't need such things in the modern world.

This is very much the standard in UK public procurement and has been for a large number of years. It's got a lot worse since Brexit when most civil servants with any skills or capability to deliver have moved on because they didn't want to deliver the 'will of the people' to have their cake and eat it.

I have my personal opinions with the pandemic, but I would have to agree as an opportunity to embrace more positive social behaviors. Surely didn't stick in my woods either. Plenty of things changed, but I would agree. The other part is that at this point were going on 4 years since and I would say my social habits in my age group just changed anyway, so IDK to be honest.
Yeah but for a legal reason. Not “eh it felt unjust”. But more materially: yes I bite that bullet that was a bad procedural move that saved millions of women. If the Supreme Court really was taking a stand about turning back the mistakes we made with jurisprudence in the 19th century, I would’ve supported the overturning of roe v wade. Instead (and I hope this is a non controversial, HN-friendly statement) they were very clearly and somewhat openly driven by ideology.

According to the Github issue [1] they added VMWare Workstation in 2022 so the ship has long sailed. Last time I tried (2020 I think) I also couldn't get Xilinx installed and that was just the first in a long list of tools. Even now it requires an FHS workaround.

NixOS is great if you never tread from the happy path but it seems most of my work requires tools way off the happy path.

Could you tell me your secrets in achieving so many stars?

I have a similar albiet differently-structured guide at https://github.com/drakerossman/nixos-musings, but nowhere near the amount of stars you have.
A driver is the club you use when you want to get the most distance (in theory) when you tee off. It has the least amount of loft (10 desgree is common) on the club and has the longest shaft (35" is common) so you can swing it fast and the ball should go far. However, it's precisely because of these features that it's difficult to hit for many players. So they end up hitting their tee shot crooked or make poor contact (they don't hit the ball in the middle of the club) and lose considerable distance and accuracy.

Other clubs, like a 3 wood (14 degrees) or a 5 wood (18 degrees) or a 7 wood (22 degrees) sacrifice distance but you are more likely to make good contact off the tee (because of a shorter shaft and more loft on the face) which results in a ball that's more likely to be in a playable spot, but not as far down the hole as a perfectly hit driver. But they give you more tolerance for a not perfectly well struck ball. They are more "forgiving".

Think of golf clubs this way - each one a golfer may carry is a tool designed to give the player an advantage when doing a certain thing. Some clubs are designed to put a lot of spin on the ball and go a shorter distance because that would be ideal for that kind of shot the club is made for. The driver is a tool designed to hit the ball as far as you can. But if you can't utilize the tool and benefit from the advantages it gives you, it's not so useful.
