Spanner, of course, is out of the question. I like it, but it's so expensive that even Oracle Database looks cheap next to it.

You might find it interesting that a single-node general-purpose RDBMS with SQL 8 years ago was capable of doing 1.2 million simple transactions per second, in this scenario I suppose they were not durable, just like Redis. I haven't read anywhere about Redis being able to get near that number, therefore I still call it slow.

No, Europe’s problem was that we were pacifists. France still prides itself for inventing the Congés Payés (paid leave) in 1936 while the Germans were building their military might. The price in lieu of our “acquis sociaux” was getting occupied, point blank.

Europe still prides itself for having female ministers of defense in every major country (who remembers them? We give the job to women when we just need to maintain things; Men traditionally seize the head-of-war position by force when someone wants to get things done, the position of Minister of Defense is figurative and should not exist) and feminist warfare (=give priority to women in war). Europe also prides itself for its glorious occupation by … ahem… by the thing I’m not allowed to talk about because we’re under occupation. Our kids get smashed at school, that’s for sure, under the eye if teachers who forbid them from responding with force.

If I were Russia, I’d pay all the leaflets and papers on which the “Vivrensemble with enemey people” posters are printed. We’re vegans, we’re trans, we’re using non-violent communication, we’re in discord on our soil, we destroy every trait of masculinity during education: We’re incapable of war, and we’re incapable of being a threat to Russia.

For as long as I’ve been hearing Macron’s minister say we’re “doing a total economic war” with Russia (literal words), for as long as I hear the West is winning and Russia is on its knees, I see that every battle is one step closer inside Europe.

We’re losing.
Ask HN: Best way to build and run containers on Mac M1
Hey all

I’ve just upgraded to Sonoma and have fallen out of touch with dev skills(I’m an Architect and been operating in the strategic sphere for a while but once was technical)

Wanting to build Llm and other things, so expecting ollama but also containers and databases. I see myself running a container or 3 so want a good workflow and set of tooling.

Are you running k3s, rancher desktop, or just Lima/Colima?

Also I realised I’d broken my brew install - I had it running in my primary Mac user account but created a standard user to reduce privileges and installed brew again and it broke (multi user issues I get it now!)

So I want to work as the standard user (adding account as sudoer) to seperate my user accounts. Is that what you do?
I had the same with OpenOffice (before LibreOffice was a thing). I created a nice document while logged in remotely to a Linux computer over Xvnc. When I opened it on the native terminal, the layout was different. Same computer, same version of OpenOffice, different X server.
It would be unlikely that it would be, since to any properly implemented app, the fact that the user cancelled is not an error since it thinks you did it yourself on purpose.

On the other hand, I recall a few years ago (in the days of one of Apple’s least stable Mac OS [X] releases) seeing the message frequently after a random kernel panic “You restarted your computer because of a problem.” And I would be pretty ticked, saying “Nope! YOU restarted yourself. 0% of this was me. I was sitting here and you just died and rebooted.”

They changed it to use passive voice instead, a year or two after that!
The premise of paid open source devs is fine and well, but every single one of these blogs devolves into delusional utopian nonsense from people who do not understand the staggering infrastructure and maintenance cost of the modern society they think should be some sort of guaranteed right. People, please learn and understand where your food comes from before writing this kind of garbage.

Seconding this. There is also a huge SMB and commercial business that supports many agencies and production companies. This could replace a lot of that work.
Some Weird Tricks to Break FDE and Bypass Attestation
Yeah, people frequently trot out the Sim City classic example, but the fact is that games in particular have borne the brunt of Windows API changes. If it didn't happen we'd have no need for wrappers like dgVoodoo: software once only meant to wrap Glide calls, but now used to get around deprecation to DirectX as well.
Not to mention the breaking changes to the audio stack that happened between 9x and Vista.
Hear me out: elevated, enclosed cycleways with transparent walls and ceilings.

- Much cheaper to build than underground tunnels.

- Cyclists get a great view of the surroundings.

- Can be horizontal regardless of terrain, so that cycling is effortless.

- Can be climate-controlled, so people can bike all year round in any weather.

- Don't cause noise problems like trains or cars.

- And of course make cyclists 100% safe from cars.

I just thought of this idea and it's so amazing that I'm not sure why it's not everywhere.

My favorite free (though not open source) visual diff and merge tool is Perforce's P4Merge. It's available for Linux, macOS (including as a Homebrew cask), and Windows. My favorite feature is its conflict resolution listing the conflicting lines vertically in the source file (like diff3 conflict markers but a GUI) instead of side-by-side panes.

It depends. Did the API document that it could raise an exception if printing isn't supported? Is that unhandled in the client? Then yes, it's a shitty client.

If you're talking about making backwards-incompatible breaking changes to an API, that's another thing.
>It serves as a great vehicle to blare loud sirens at testing time that you (the programmer) screwed up (and that's ok, we all do), and it's time to figure out where and how to fix it :)

Right, but if you read the article, the author is talking less about the developer experience and more about the user experience. "blare loud sirens" is great if you're a tester/developer, not so much if you're an end user. When it comes to the end user, "swallowing errors" is preferable to crashing.

>Have you noticed how you don't argue any of my points?

Your points are all non-falsifiable and are the checklist of russians propaganda (here I'm ignoring the ramblings about trump, saddam, etc.). You mentioned NATO expansion, Azov, "ethnic russians" being threathened, CIA coup, gonzalo lira, and so forth. You forgot to mention biolabs. I use a condescending tone because I eventually realized this was a lost cause and I'm just writing an answer for whoever lost soul ends up reading this thread.

Doesn't get more pacifist than that. This is a worthless discussion, let's just stop. I've taken a look at your comment history and you seem very deeply involved into american polarizing politics like heads having to roll because of COVID lockdowns, I quote, "Heads have to roll". I'm convinced that what happened with COVID was stupid and government people should be more accountable for the fuck up, but looking at your post history you are a prime example of what Yuri Bezmenov was talking about. I bet you are this close to writing that the USA needs a revolution.
I think you're exaggerating how hard the retrofitting is to do. Office buildings tend to have tons of extra space for things like drop ceilings and utility chases that can be easily used to run plumbing and electrics. Natural lighting is a concern but these buildings also tend to have huge windows, that can light passively if the interior spaces that are being retrofitted in are designed correctly.

OTOH I absolutely agree this is a good call if your goal is for more users to be able to run more software on your platform, even if printing is broken.
I was excited by the appearance and sound but found it too hard to control to enjoy. Also took me a couple minutes to get started because I didn't know I had to press 'x' (and 'x' closes the tab for me with Vimium extension, even though I disabled all Vimium keys on that page).
And how do you imagine it? Being in the same security alliance as Ukraine and having free trade agreement and having good relations with the West, he would attack the Ukraine to get a piece of land?

Nobody in Russia would've supported such an unthinkable war.

It took a coup in Kiev in 2014, burning people alive in Odessa, all the slogans 'Hang the Russians', dozens of streets named after Nazi collaborators, the war of the new Ukrainian government on the separatists in the East and eight years for people in Russia to start thinking that not all Ukrainians are brothers.

The ARMv7 will be kept in 15.x version as supported while all other 32bit archs will not be TIER 1.

The ARMv7 will be dropped in 16.x.

To show here some time span ... FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE will be released in about 2 years from the release of FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE and after that FreeBSD 15.x will be supported for 5 years.

That means there is still 7 years of official FreeBSD support for 32bit ARMv7 devices.

IMHO its more then enough to move to something more relevant.
Because big tech attracts people who want to dial it in. Hence quality is shit. Some brilliance in pockets, but overall it's shit. Startups are where it is at.
I really really really want to use Godot, but sadly, the support for web exports just isn't there in Godot 4:

- Has issues running on MacOS / iOS

Meanwhile as much as Unity irritates me, they're working on even better web platform support in Unity 6 and smaller runtime bundled deployments.

Well that assumes that NATO will hold its promise and defend the member state that is invaded.
Lately, considering Trump's recent outings, this isn't set in stone anymore.
Ah. It seems an analogy wherein every angle raises a new question.

In that sense, "why not for-profit govt?" would seem to be a hypothetical which would indeed require much study to fully explore, let alone answer. I dare to speculate that some degree of research and debate may already exist in the field, with respect to the idea of privatisation of public services, and to certain 'free market' ideals as in neo-libertarianism, etc.
> You see, now you are inventing strawmen like "eternal commitment" and "the narrative of how NATO has always wanted to surround Russia". I don't think I can continue this conversation if you are not talking in good faith.

I am not inventing anything. I have not seen a single source that would indicate a commitment not to accept new members into NATO until the present day. Nor have you cited any high-ranking Soviet or Russian officials from those times saying that they had a firm commitment. The constant unmet Russian demands that you cite also point that way.

> The decision to expand NATO was made in 1997 [0]

By that time, liberals had lost influential posititions in Russia and hardliners had been consolidating power for several years. Putin had risen from St Petersburg's mayor's errand boy to presidential staff in the Kremlin, to become the head of Russian security service (FSB) a year later.

The first Chechen War started in 1994 and Russian atrocities committed there were a key turning point in taking Central and Eastern European security concerns seriously:

The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. /---/ The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1994%E2%80%9...

> "On December 1, Foreign Minister Kozyrev unexpectedly refused to sign up for the Partnership of Peace; and on December 5, Yeltsin lashed out about NATO at the Budapest summit of the CSCE, in front of a surprised Clinton: “Why are you sowing the seeds of mistrust? ... Europe is in danger of plunging into a cold peace …. History demonstrates that it is a dangerous illusion to suppose that the destinies of continents and of the world community in general can somehow be managed from one single capital.” "

Kozyrev is who wrote the three paragraphs I cited previously. In the PDF I linked to, he gives a description of NATO-Russia relations during his tenure (1990-1996). In the end, he concludes that Russians were on the wrong side of history and Americans and Europeans were on the right side of history. The outcome - peace and prosperity in Europe, death and destruction in Russia and everywhere they go - certainly supports his view.
Maybe nitpicking here, but healthcare is not financed with your taxes in Germany - it's financed by statutory health insurance (SHI) and private health insurance (PHI). The State "simply" sets the framework/legislation/etc. so that it doesn't get wild (like probably it is in the USA). [0]

In Italy it's the state/regions that take your taxes and pay the health system.

I love Pico8. The idea of starting with a small set of tools and building around those limitations I think leads to better game design and development.
I really enjoy the ATM analogy. Got me thinking.

You could also stretch out that analogy a little and draw a parallel for how AI can be seen in software engineering: both are tools that enhance, not diminish, human capabilities.

Calculators made complex calculations faster and more accurate, allowing for greater focus on higher-order problem-solving.

Similarly, I think AI that automates routine tasks can enable software engineers to concentrate on more complex, creative or strategic aspects of their work. I don't think they stop being software engineers, but they can do 'more' in a sense.
'all the unix tools like awk...'

Not ad-hominem but where were you 95-2006 because Gawk, Sed and Burne shell
were the answer to read only perl scripts. That is one of the reasons Perl is basically no longer used: it was used without discipline.

There was actually a progressive mode amongst those systems programmers I knew who knew what they were doing at the time.

* bash + sed for the easy stuff
* bash + gawk or just gawk for the ETL stuff
* TCL for systems glue + swig
* C when you are bespoke or need performance

Perl was great in theory but I cringed every time I saw a script.

`git init` itself hints that you should globally configure an initial branch name in your git config, and suggests "main", "trunk", and "development" as alternatives. It will continue to make this suggestion until you make a choice. Here's the full output from `git init` with no additional config on my machine:

hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/test/.git/

I think people that set this actually get to that point because they don't want to keep seeing the warning, and "main" is as good a value as any. In light of this, your harsh moral ascription seems fairly silly.
Yeah, he did it all for the immense personal gains of … getting poisoned, imprisoned, and dying in an Arctic prison colony before reaching 50.

Not a chance. Kaliningrad is barely even useful to Russia - now that Finland is part of NATO, they can't cut off the Baltics from resupply, and the Baltics watched Ukraine and are less enthusiastic about Russia than ever.

Realistically there's no (strategic) benefit to even defending Kaliningrad in case of a war (and the thing is surrounded by NATO so it would be taken immediately if not heavily defended), so stationing lots of troops there is just a pointless drain on resources. If the Kaliningrad secession movement picks up steam, then they might just let them leave.
Actual for-profit corporations generally don't want the responsibility and blame that comes with being a "real" government. And "for the people of our $Political_Entity!" tends to be a far better and cheaper rallying cry when there are grim choices and sacrifice at hand, or top-tier moral and political legitimacy is needed.

But when the corruption & cronyism get bad enough - the political sock puppets fronting for the greedy SoB's can start looking pretty thread-bare.
Difficult to prove considering that was a decade ago, but it did happen to me. Randomly changed font in a random paragraph, randomly repositioned images, etc. Maybe I accidentally broke the document in some way, I don't know, but Word certainly failed to restore it to the exact state it was saved in, and it was always on the same PC and software.
Just flipping thru it I'm not seeing obvious issues. In terms of being usable for reference I think it's reasonable. The diagrams and tables look intelligible and not garbled. Layout isn't visible screwed-up.

I see a life made far easier by AI that Europeans simply lack because they have adopted a "technology bad" mindset oblivious of the fact that half their siblings would have died in childhood if it wasn't for the technology they hate so much.

Don't know where you're getting your views on consumerism from, but it's not anything I've seen here.

Why as a tech worker do I need a union? Have you seen how they operate? They don't reward based on merit, but seniority. You're forced to join them and pay dues and the seniority passes the shittiest options down to you. I'd much rather work in big tech where I get rewarded for kicking ass.

The lack of worker rights in the US is a much smaller issue than the lack of technological muscle in the EU. Technology has a far greater impact on QoL historically.

I'm saying I don't want similarity cutoffs. Most FTS methods involve a similarity score, I'm saying I don't want only results with > 0.1 similarity. I want all of them that were returned.

I'm NOT saying it should somehow inject results that didn't originate from the original FTS query.
