Perhaps, but in any case I would never write code like this.

First of all, sending sigkill is literally overkill and perpetuates a bad practice. Send `TERM`. If it doesn't work, figure out why.

Secondly, subshells should be made as clear as possible and not hidden in pipes. Related, looping over `read` is essentially never the right thing to do. If you really need to do that, don't use pipes; use heredocs or herestrings.

Fourth, if you cannot avoid subshells and you want to terminate the full script on some condition, exit with a specific exit code from the subshell, check for it outside and terminate appropriately.
Hi Holonsphere,

would you be so kind to drop me an Email? I would like to ask you something about your previous projects (the dating site).

I read the article as being about service meshes now being a cost item whereas they were free or low cost. I’m not sure debating the technical merits speaks to that.
I have to disagree on the simple fact that for me exercising is always tedious. I could be doing something more interesting. I like the results, so i stick to it (started in august a 6 days/week: 3 hiit cardio, 3 days weight lifting). I sticked to it,exercising is way easier, my body got in great shape.
it's still boring. I somewhat appreciate the shadow boxing, but I always have to push myself to go.
the reason why it works for me is that by going 6 times a week, it feels weird not going, because I do it every day. Kinda like not brushing your teeth
Yeah, I live here. This will do nothing.

The cops have long ago quiet quit, and despite paying over market rate salaries, no one tries to become a cop here. They know that everyone here hates them, and that the laws are the most anti-cop in the nation. Cops won't enforce the recriminalization anyway.

Honestly, as crappy as it is to have drugged out zombies in the city center, this is a PNW issue, from British Columbia to SF/Bay area. I happen to like having lived in the place with the most liberal drug laws. I'm saddened to see even piecemeal reversal. The liberty was worth it.
Could you elaborate more on "fresh only per initialization prior"? I don't very get it.
>Code that isn't tested, isn't done. Tests not only verify the expectations, but also prevent future regression

A few weeks ago someone at the company implemented a feature without tests. It worked perfectly, everyone was happy. A release of another new feature by a different team a few days later broke the previous feature :)
"It seems like when the Mosaic Panels of the Cosmos and the Cosmonaut (on the west side) were installed, the builders weren’t full paying attention as they had accidentally switched the position of the two outer panels and rotated one of them by 180 degrees. For the past 44 years, the slightly “abstract” cosmonaut mosaic has now been gracing the streets of Potsdam. It is somewhat strange though that in all that time – not even Eisel sought to correct the mistake."

Without any evidence, I find this notion somewhat naive.

"At 7 Gagarin Street, at the end of the South Ural State Technical College, formerly a polytechnic school, in Chelyabinsk, there is the panel "Space Conquest" (sometimes simply called "Cosmos"), one of the most important Soviet space-themed mosaics."

more baseless predictions. do you own nvidia stock?
I hear this argument a lot, but it makes no sense.

How would an economic phenomenon (requiring a typical form of green leaves to guarantee a happy life at old age) precisely counter a biological phenomenon (a desire to procreate)?

It seems more likely that readily available birth control and a particular willingness of women to join the labour force is the cause here.

What is stopping extremely rich narcissists from creating thousands of children once technology allows for it? We're in for a horrible population growth if you ask me.

Hello, my name is Kevin and I’m a software engineering intern. I'm looking for new opportunities to learn. A recent example of my work is this tool that summarizes HackerNews.com articles using HuggingFace: https://gophersignal.com
> archaeological evidence from other parts of the world suggests ancient hunters likely took advantage of animal instinct: Herds of reindeer, caribou, and other hoofed animals tend to orient themselves along straight features in the landscape, such as streams or ridges.

Very impressive if this is true.
Who exactly was punished by that EO? You are proving my point, even the most "push back" IAs have seen in terms of concrete actions against them led to... a directive that forbid them from murdering people in foreign countries. No actual consequences for anyone involved, no one got even a slap on the wrist in terms of actual consequences. And that's after the church committee, which revealed some super damning stuff.

Oh, and they went back to doing it after a few decades.
It might not be practical for the OS to enforce sandboxes between multiple PWAs running on the same third party browser engines. Browsers are incredible resource hogs and loading many instances with perfect isolation enforced by the OS could result in a poor experience.
I suspect that people who prefer the instant feedback from a chat room also aren't interested in researching the questions first and therefore place no value on what can be found in research. There's such a high preference for instant feedback that people are choosing ChatGPT knowing that the information will not be correct in ways they cannot identify.
I think that might be wishful thinking on his part - I remember hearing about him consuming some types of web content via a friend downloading html and emailing it to him! He has spoken plenty about confronting the convenience-freedom trade off that anyone consuming software will be confronted with though.
I've got some bad news for you about corporations: they're not sentient - some human made the decision to prioritize profit over human lives. Governments and other institutions do this as well (not just for profit, but perhaps for other reasons) because they're also run by humans. It's going to be pretty hard to find a human institution that's morally pure in the way you want.

I am introducing over a 100 people to IRC per year by using it for FOSS mentoring. It has a much lower threshold than anything else as you can start with a web client without registration (I share the first chat log via email). Once Libera Chat switches to https://github.com/Libera-Chat/sable registered users will have 24/7 logs (especially great for flaky mobile connections).
Well this reasoning works with crappy preprocessed food and moderate exercise.
do hiit for 30 minutes and it's 400 calories, which is still a candy bar, OR a nice carbonara. That makes a world of difference
Yep that was a mistake. Thank you!

This was not my experience building infra for a startup heavily leveraging a Python monolith. It was painful AF (both when developing locally and deploying to VMs) and Docker made the deployment story palatable (build, push to hundreds of VMs, run).
Interesting paper, thanks. It does make some of the same distinctions I did, around smokers and smoke alarms. Another thing mentioned about newer construction is the improved blocking and stopping. For example, one old style of framing was "balloon frame" construction, where you would have gaps that might run vertically from basement to attic. That gave fire a channel to rip vertically through a structure, and is clearly a terrifying idea once it catches. [Edit] Oh, I forgot to mention, it also discusses what conclusions can't be inferred. "Regrettably, much of the available
data is not helpful. For example, no data are collected on the age of the structure where a house fire death occurs, despite the obvious link between the two."

The starting point of this though, was the idea that the materials in the house are actually better than in the past. To the extent that they'll tolerate fire longer before collapsing, they aren't, and the gases from the foam cushions, carpets and drapes are more toxic than ever. The reason this was drilled into our heads is that it means less time to get into a fire, and someone out, before we all have to leave for our own safety.
The problem with Discord is it just has a very small user base for a lot of things. I know that sounds ridiculous, but anyone who actually has any general interest that isn’t gaming knows what I mean. It’s very common for the biggest server on any topic to be completely ruined by constant racism or just used as someone’s social space too. The problem is that the quality of the people who use discord is generally low enough that when you consider actually seriously interested people it feels like a ghost town. Worst of all, those biggest servers for any given topic are often ran by nutters. I deleted my account permanently earlier this year and I’m much happier for it.
You may be mixing up causation and correlation in the argument that birth rates will drop.

Sorry - what's PNW?
Companies with shareholders, expecially long term institution investors, can be bent to care about more than simple profits - while still profiting albeit not as much as if they chased nothing but maximal short term gains.

Pressure is on various traditional fossil fuel comanies to pivot into being long term energy providers rather than being solely relient on fossil fuel extraction.

Countries are well able to strike deal with fossil fuel extractors to invest in parallel atmospheric carbon extraction (although that's largely a kiss on a sabre cut to date).

That said large scale consumers, entire countries, purchasing blocs, can put pressure on resource providers to change behaviour, and on secondary processing to take increased input from recycled materials.

I've been developing services to power betting and sport related companies in recent 4 years, therefore I have a good grasp of backend and data-driven applications. I constantly learn through books and side projects, but my focus is always fundamentals. So if you have different stack than I wrote, it would take very little time for me to adapt. I'm open for backend related opportunities.

Exactly, ones convenient choice undermines and erodes collective freedoms. In FOSS you 'vote' with your choices. In an analogy with politics this lack of consideration of freedoms and values, and applying of critical thinking may lead to freedom eventually being eradicated for good (or a very long time). In politics unfortunately we see people time and again voting democratically for their own oppression and lack of choice.
Looks like Bret has a new website.
I think you’re confusing my argument.

I don’t suggest a solution

I’m pointing out that the individual desire to increase personal happiness beyond basic needs for reproduction, significantly outweighs their desire to end that same extreme poverty condition for others.

This might be a “duh” but the point is that my hypothesis is that this is a learned/taught perspective, and based on a foundational idea that is no longer true, aka a myth.
I do it from time to time, just to keep tabs on how Android is doing. It is doing shit.

Cordcutting could be a big deal for local distribution companies as it becomes viable.

Pipecutting (what I call cutting natgas entirely in favour of heatpumps) is already on the radar of our natgas utility: they want to charge new build connection fees up-front instead of recovering over decades.

Now, what if you could coordinate with a couple of neighbours and run a "merged" system that does some accounting to to cover imbalances? Or a shared backup generator?

Discord is both powerful and easy to use. A lot of FOSS software is the former but not the latter, and the community often come across as, well, not really giving a shit about that (or sometimes being completely unable to perceive any usability differences).

Yeah there are some downsides compared to IRC, but the average user will likely have a MUCH better nicer experience using Discord...which is a big part of why it's exploded in popularity.
Maybe it's not so much that media technology itself leads to lower child births, but that the particular media being pushed results in lower child births. Consumerism is the vehicle by which this happens, because corporations have little use for the family unit and much use for individualized consumers that buy, not make things.

My interpretation is that there are innumerable cultural things that are popular nowadays which discourage people from having children, whether that be TV shows that make "family values" seem outdated and backwards, urban housing that's too small for families, and so forth.

My general point is more that the problems with birth rates are more of a contemporary cultural issue (largely an exported Western one) and not something that just automatically comes with technological/economic development.

I have done some delightful stuff in `zsh`, but I always lament how slow its numerical array traversal is. Frustratingly, experts told me it really doesn't have to be slow, the devs just don't seem to be bothering to revamp the underlying data structure because they are focusing more on associative arrays.
On Android I think PWAs do indeed share the same browser process. So it's like having another tab. Still, tab level isolation is taken extremely seriously by browser developers.
> And Mr DeVault should probably disclose in his blog post that SourceHut is, it seems, his.

Most people reading his blog already know that and most of his articles mention SourceHut so it really does not bear repeating.

The site has always worked fine for me despite the alpha statement but you seem to already have a bias against it.

And then you complain about IRC on the "IRC of websites".
If you don't have much interest in philosophy and don't care for thinking deeply about problems, why engage at all? Move over the comment in silence and leave it for people that are willing to think more about a topic. I assure you, Parfit and the other philosophers mentioned are not "stupid" and have thought about this far, far longer than your 3 minutes of read-and-dismiss.

This "hostile anti-intellectualism" is so tiresome.
Call me a slower learner, I won't bite.

I've tried Copilot, Bing, Chat-GPT4, etc. I spend ages "prompt engineering" to get scraps of barely acceptable code. Then when I paste the bits together it still doesn't get the job done properly.

IMHO AI is scavenging code from all over the internet. It might be excellent at doing leet code, but when you get to the level of application domain knowledge and environment specifics it is easier to just DIY.

The recent tweaking of Google Gemini must surely be more "programming" not directed learning.

The question is not whether some individuals strive for it, but whether the entire ecosystem moves toward it. Different contexts, different mechanisms.
We even stopped using Slack for our internal conversations, and instead use private Discord rooms, to me it means that everyone who cares about our product is focused on the same space.
At my last company the devops guy was installing istio for 2 years before he gave up. K8s by itself was just fine.
Ok, fair, yes what I meant is really that 'iota' is capable of introducing action-at-a-distance, albeit in uncommon situations, because new, preceding iota declarations within a const block change the values of subsequent iotas. This wouldn't happen every time you re-compile your program; I meant that more as a shorthand for "potentially can happen when your program changes"; and I can understand why that shorthand is confusing, because a much more poorly designed implementation of iota could actually, conceivably, change the iota values on every re-compile (in much the same way Go randomizes map iteration order, for example); and this is not what Go does.
Couldn't you accomplish that with tracing? You may not even need any changes in your application as eBPF maybe able to automatically instrument the application.

This. In my experience frontend is not for everybody. There is a reason why FE and BE are often separated - because it makes sense in most non-trivial apps. Related, I never understood the appeal of isomorphic apps either. It's not like the code for UI and data access is very similar.
At beginner level, there is SQL Island https://sql-island.informatik.uni-kl.de, with versions in German, English and French.
Apple stated in their first statement regarding multiple engines support for PWAs, that it can be done, they just decided not to make it. Also, it’s an about 18 months old law. Not that they wouldn’t have time or resources for that matter. So there was clearly a purpose to kill PWAs on iOS, and it was clearly their decision according to them.

Another thing with EU, you can ask them. And normally, first, you ask them when something is questionable. This either didn’t happen, or Apple didn’t wait, or they already know what is the response. This was clearly a PR move.

So it’s totally understandable when people have problems with Apple, how they handled this.
I agree with what it says; however, using Discord is even worse than using GitHub, since GitHub is a git-based service which others (even if you do not have an account) can still download the repositories and the files (and it can be mirrored on multiple services).

If for contribution and discussion of your project has mandatory requirements to send issues and/or pull requests to GitHub, or to host something on GitHub, or to use Discord, then this can be a problem. However, if you just make a mirror on GitHub and on multiple other services (or have the GitHub issue trackers as one of many), then this can be less of a problem (although there is still the problem of others who wish to comment on issues which have been posted on GitHub, even if there are other issue trackers and/or discussion forums, since they will be separated).

(IRC is better; however, a few projects have bridged IRC with Discord (or with Matrix) and you could use that if necessary. NNTP would also be helpful; I have set up a NNTP server, but hardly anyone uses it.) (Another advantage of IRC is that it is usable even without a specialized IRC client, since it is mostly plain text anyways. This is especially true if TLS is optional rather than mandatory, and the character set is printable ASCII rather than Unicode; but, even then it is still more usable than Discord.)
To be fair this was always the prevailing attitude on IRC. Try to fix it yourself, RTFM, and ask good questions.

Maybe IRC was a litmus test of sorts.
It is a basic introduction for free, there is not much to recommend or not.

If you have basic knowledge on security and topics listed there - it is waste of time. If not then not.
As someone also running FOSS projects on discord because it's a non-choice, hard agree. Boycotting proprietary platforms is a good end-goal, but it's about as feasible to convince people not to use dominant organizing tools like discord and github as it is to get them off the mobile duopoly right now.
> "If free software were inferior, using it would still be the right thing to do. Fortunately, it is also superior in terms of features and experience."

It blows me away just how out of touch one otherwise-intelligent man can be.

FOSS often has severe usability issues compared to popular proprietary counterparts -- just look at any article here talking about trying to use Matrix or get friends/relatives to use it, it's basically always a big dumpster fire. Yet somehow you still have people recommending it.
If use is the only thing you do it may contribute to the Tragedy of the Commons and you undermine FOSS. If you also contribute back in some ways, even for very practical purposes, you are also serving the higher philosophical principle of FOSS.
The only solution to the drug problem is full legalization of all drugs.

They should be manufactured by big pharma and sold in grocery stores. No question asked. Poor people should have acess to subsidized prices.

We should also invest in educational programs where people are taught about drugs and how to consume them in a safe way. These programs should sample all major drugs so that one can find out if they should become a consumer and what is the right drug for them.
Was this written at a time when there was no Discord web interface? I use a FOSS Discord channel in the browser so surely it's just as accessible as any other text website?

The bigger limitation seems to be that it's not visible without signing up, nor Googleable. But I think that helps people be more relaxed and free. Sometimes I see a bit of swearing and generally coarse language which is completely fine and expected for passionate people, but might be dampened if it was more transparent.
I find Android OS (Samsung in particular) to be vastly superior to iOS. I only like iPhone's hardware. But to each their own.
