> So? The justification is still substantive. What would change in a real slider that turns real setting on/off?

No it's not. Whether or not a design accomplishes its goals is exclusively based on what it's trying to communicate. This is trying to communicate animation curves.

> That's only true for those slowed down by a factor of 8. Otherwise it's not, I see the exact same issue in real-world sliders on web sites and in apps.

What you notice in apps is probably noticeable because it was done poorly. In the vast majority of instances, these things are done well so they help your eye adjust but don't stick out as animations.

> But they mostly do, add they do in this case ("turned_on"). The other use cases would have different issues like the choice of colors (green is for on) Then you overly general description forgets to prove that slower and more confusing control (which some generic non-tech users try to actually slide by holding a mouse button and moving the mouse instead of clicking) is actually preferable because it "feels" nice to them

You're substituting assumption for knowledge.

> I don’t see how Apple is a monopoly with less than 30% of market share in the EU, so this comparison is not apt.

It's been said hundreds of times on this site, but I'll repeat it for posterity. You do not need total control over a market to be charged with monopoly abuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabash,_St._Louis_%26_Pacific_...

> I don’t see what’s wrong here.

[...]

> They also consciously make it a closed platform

Are you starting to see what's wrong here? Apple is the regulator of their own internal market, and they haven't made their closed platform a competitive ecosystem. They are directly responsible for ensuring that third-parties are offered fair terms to compete on, and they do not: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/image/conten...

> and to me it doesn’t seem like only one side is doing all the work without getting something from the other side in return.

"All the work" in this case, meaning creating an anticompetitive platform where they gimp their competitors? Again, looping back around to Ma Bell - you cannot excuse an exploitative system with it's benefits. Apple must first remediate the issues with their internal market if they intend to keep shipping iPhones in Europe. I don't see what's wrong here.

> the sides who are fighting here are both greedy companies

Which stage of grief is bartering, again?

You don't need to desperately appeal to us by comparing Epic and Apple. We know they're both greedy opportunists, but this time Epic is right. Apple is operating on a double-standard that will tear their company apart if they fight it.

> Do they?

Probably not. In my experience most standards are pretty broadly defined with hardly any technical requirements.

For instance in ISO 27001 it states that you should create awareness in your organisation about information security. A very minimal way is to send a mass email to everyone in the organisation or hang up posters in the office. But I also spoke to someone that was determined that a half day security awareness training was minimally required.

Where do attics not get hot? I live in northern climate, and ours regularly gets hotter than 140F during sunny summer days.

And I say hotter, because the remote temp sensor I have up there maxes out at 140F. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually gets up to 150F or more.

For what it's worth, I personally do use Arch for my homelab and still achieve cattle not pets because the Arch install media comes with cloud-init so I simply keep a cloud-config with the modules to build a server from scratch on a separate USB stick with a drive that has "cidata" on a label and plug that into a machine along with the install media before hitting the power button. I don't know if Nix would have been easier but cloud-init just lets you run scripts that you presumably already know how to write if you're the kind of person who does this sort of thing. No need for a DSL.

Someone is going to chime in with "boo yaml" and sure, but a person interested in running a homelab is almost certainly a person who manages a bunch of servers for work too and there's no escaping cloud-init, Ansible, Kubernetes, or something using yaml that you're not going to have a choice about. Assuming the point of a homelab is at least partly to practice what you do on the job without the possibility of destroying something owned by someone else (which is what this guy says his reason was), you may as well get used to the tools you're going to have to use anyway and not make your home setup too much different than the environment you manage at work.

Of course, I know a lot of people on Hacker News are not like me and this guy and use "homelab" to mean they want to self-host media servers, chat, and photo sharing and what not for their family and friends, not have a mini data-center as a practice ground for the real data center they manage in their day job.

You're missing a vital point here due to the overloaded nature of the word 'terminal'.

The number of HARDWARE terminal types is not growing rapidly - few people are putting out new serial terminals where the TERM variable is intricately tied to the functionality of the terminal (and in many cases, even hardware terminals can emulate a few well known terminal types).

The software you're talking about are terminal EMULATORS. They emulate the functionality of a hardware terminal, interpreting the escape sequences emitted by the software they're running in order to refresh a user display. You can have many, many new terminal emulators created without needing a new terminal list entry if they are emulating existing terminals.

So let someone create 100,000 new Wayland terminals - they're likely going to be emulating vt100 or some variant of xterm. They don't need their own terminal entries.
International Mathematics Competition
For those not aware, there is a European competition for college students similar to Putnam that is open for international participation.

The link has past problems with solutions; they are not quite at Putnam level, but they still pose a good challenge and tend to be very interesting.

This year apparently the competition will be held in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, at the American College. I am very close by in Thessaloniki, so if someone is participating and wants some face to face problem solving, let me know.
I find that available LLMs have difficulty recalling instances in specific works by given authors. For example, if you ask GPT-4 "In which Philip K. Dick novel does the protagonist character consider converting to Judaism and moving to Israel?" it will respond with Dick's best known book _The Man in the High Castle_ and the character Frank Fink. The answer is incorrect. Israel does not exist in the world of that novel; furthermore, the character of Fink already is Jewish. The correct answer is Angel Archer in _The Transmigration of Timothy Archer_.

I have considered the feasibility of fine-tuning an LLM on the writings of a specific author. The idea is that it could aid writing in this way: If I currently am researching a specific author across multiple of their books, I often will get a quote of theirs trapped in my head some length of time after reading it. If I have neglected to jot down (or even to highlight) the source of the quote, I could ask the model where the remembered passage came from and get back a higher-quality response.
The big problem with off-lease enterprise hardware is the power usage can quickly outrun the original costs - but that may not be an issue for everyone.

The nice thing about off-lease enterprise hardware is there is so much of it, and it's enterprise. You can easily find replacement parts, and working on that stuff is a joy, everything is easily replaceable with no tools.

It's not necessarily a direct causal relationship. Research shows that the reduced anxiety associated with forgiveness is more causally connected to intermediate factors such as managing anger and an optimistic/hopeful viewpoint rather than forgiveness per se.

It's David who has been wronged. It doesn't make any sense for the author to chastise him for having feelings about it. And it is not up to the author to prescribe what feelings are "correct" or which ones mean he "defected". Perhaps if David's forgiveness is so important to the author he should have thought of that before doing the wrong or at least make some effort to repair the damage he did.

Microsoft's biggest existential risk in the 80s was not having a "real OS"[0]. They had DOS, which they bought from SCP[1] to fix a problem IBM was having, and they had XENIX, which they had to license from AT&T. DOS was technically unsound - it almost sort of worked for personal computing but nobody was going to build workstations out of IBM PCs running DOS. They wanted to build a "real OS" on top of XENIX, going as far as to add porting aids between DOS 2 and XENIX in what they dubbed "XEDOS". Then Bell Labs started selling System V directly in 1983 and Microsoft chickened out of UNIX.

In this environment, Microsoft wound up writing several attempts at home-grown "real OS" projects: Multitasking DOS 4, and ADOS, which then became OS/2. None of these succeeded. OS/2 got close, but Microsoft really didn't like working with IBM, and Windows 3[2] was selling way better. Microsoft ultimately got itself out of this dilemma with NT and Windows 95, both of which used a slightly modified Win32 API that was "real OS" compatible. However, that was almost a decade during which any number of companies could have easily upended, if not killed the company.

BSD didn't start separating itself from AT&T owned code until 1989. Had they done so earlier, Microsoft could have pivoted to a BSD-based XENIX and saved themselves the cost of an AT&T license (which drastically increased with SysV). Microsoft could have shipped Windows on top of that instead of, say, the hackery that was WIN-OS/2 or waiting for Dave Cutler to design and build NT.

I completely agree — the entire concept of "manufacturing isn't important, outsource it to the cheapest poor countries" is one of the most insane and fundamentally stupid strategic failures in history.

While the west earned a few year's worth of higher profits by outsourcing their entire manufacturing base, intellectual property advantage, and middle class lifestyle to China, China created a strategic dependency, modernized military, and massive ability to backdoor and spy on it's adversaries, as well as global advantage in key markets.

Yes, that was extremely costly for the western working and middle class, and as you point out, even stupidly short-sighted for the capital class.

However, reversing that and bringing key manufacturing back to the democratic allies (US, EU, Japan, SK, AUS, etc.) will massively benefit workers who will no longer be competing with China's cheap labor. So, I'm not sure how this is 'taking one for the team'?

(And yes, the strategic concept that open trade and info flow will naturally bring democracy, based on the post-WWII experience of EU and Japan rebuilding efforts, massively failed; all it did was empower the dictators in CCP and RU. So, the human rights issues for Chinese workers still exists, but they got a couple decades of improved economics. Too bad we can't just depose China's and Russia's leadership and bring real progress,, but if we don't preserve our own democracy, we'll never be able to help anyone else).
The responses are kinda a mixed bag here - there are two totally different use cases.

If you want something for practical purposes, /r/selfhosted actually has you covered. It’s usually jellyfin for movies, etc. And you use a NAS or a PC, but the idea is normally that you setup something reliable and don’t lose your data, and it does not require too much tinkering. Maybe once in a while run some docker container to test it out. what I have now.

Then there are people who get many raspberri Pi’s or NUCs and basically play ‘build a datacenter at home’ game. It’s good for tinkering and you often mess it up and start from scratch. I’ve done that, it’s kind of fun, cool experience, learned a lot about networking, installed Kubernetes, then sold the machines.

Then a third group are people who build a whole data centre at home AND run serious applications on it. These guys need to buy themselves a motorbike or something.

TikTok told The New York Times that users could swipe right to get rid of the message, which may have been confusing because users typically swipe up to see the next video on the app. The company also said that the “X” to close the page wasn’t visible for some users at first but that it later fixed that.

bsdtar can do this! It supports reading an mtree file (a text description of a filesystem or of the contents of an archive) as an input and producing ZIP as an output!

Given an mtree file foo.mtree:

#mtree
baz/bar type=file content=quux

You can produce a ZIP containing baz/bar with:

bsdtar -c --format=zip -f out.zip @foo.mtree

There’s a much better explanation in the bsdtar manual at https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdtar&sektion=1&f...

If you’re on Windows, “tar.exe” is bsdtar. With the caveat that the mtree file should be saved with LF line endings, this should still work.
