It's not a filesystem, but it has better semantics for distributed operation because of it. Nobody talks about the locking semantics of S3 because it's at the blob level; that rules out whole categories of problems.

And that's also why you can't append. If you had multiple readers while appending, and appending to multiple replicas, guaranteeing that each reader would see a consistent only-forwards read of the append is extremely hard. So simply ban people from doing that and force them to use a different system designed for the purpose of logging.

Microservices. S3 is for blobs. If you want something that isn't a blob, use a different microservice.

It's optimized for certain workloads around code collab, so for now we don't want to oversell it. It doesn't have to be coupled with Git, though Git is very efficient at synchronizing changes. The protocol currently can be used for other things than a forge, but having an application influence protocol development is very helpful.
Yeah, security features shouldn't be behind a paywall. I despise vendors that do it and do my best to avoid paying for products like that (and persuade my employer to do the same). You can say they have to make money somehow, but I don't care, not with this.
EasyKey.shellmenu: automate your Linux command line

Just an anecdote.

My best friend died of CF just a few years ago. He talked candidly about his eventual death, to the extent it was uncomfortable at first (but we ended up being to the level of making jokes about it, which I think was a positive thing for both of us).

He changed his WhatsApp status to a coffin and skull-and-bones emoji right before he went, just as a joke.

He didn't live with a shred of anxiety - least anxious person I've ever met. Dude was down for anything and everything, and could have probably fought off a bear despite being comically short and concerningly skinny. Easily one of the most kind and relaxed souls I've ever met.

Show HN: MOTY – What is your Movie of the Year?
Since it's the Oscars today, thought today would be a good day to share, MOTY: What is your Movie of the Year?

I've been looking for a simple way to track the movies I've seen and the rank them to find my favorite movie of the year.

There were a few other options, but they were often very complicated and hard to find deep within other larger sites.

It takes just a couple of clicks to add a movie, and you can drag and re-sort your list to rank your favorite movie.

Would love to know what you think!
SSO isn't fundamental to most "open core" projects' security. So excluding from core seems like a reasonable compromise. They have to make money somehow. And IME the SSO implementations can be fidly and bespoke, so worth charging a premium to support.

Yeah … the question is: where would the next Bell Labs come from for long term scientific endeavors? The national labs? But the funding there can be quite volatile … The universities? But it could run the risk of being too academic. There is a need for an environment like the old Bell Labs, with problems and opportunities coming from practical matters, yet with folks who are interested in solving the problems but not stopping at solving the problems only …

Interesting that he didn't predict a collective "future-shock" like other pop science rather more a future-meh reaction to each successive AI advancement.

I wouldn't describe AI as merely a static tool though, it might start out that way but it aims to be the ultimate tool, itself a tool creator, wielder, improver. How well will humans be able to improve or evolve themselves in the long run by expecting AI to perform our every task.

Quite frankly, I don't give a shit what the rights holders want. The fact that they don't "intend" the games to be around forever doesn't mean that preserving them is morally wrong.

The basis of copyright is that, once the terms of copyright run out, the work then belongs to the public. Preventing preservation is effectively theft in a way that almost no other copyright infringement can be equated to.

Rights holders who impede preservation and steal works from the public should effectively lose the right to hold copyright in the first place. You shouldn't get the protection if you're not willing to ensure you hold up your end of the bargain when it comes time to give it to the public.
I am shocked, shocked that quantum computing researchers might have figured out this trick too.
There's other ways to conceptualize it however. Assume for a minute NHI craft have crashed, what plausible alternative hypotheses can explain that against our objection of:

If they are so advanced, and bother to come all the way here, then they just crash and discard it?

?

Here's a few possibilities:

- They are so advanced. Coming here is as easy for them, as riding a cheap bicycle to the store is for us. We discard our bicycles (just take a look at Shanghai, for instance). They break or get beat up, we don't stress it (I'm not speaking to the morality of that -- personally, I feel, "Those poor little abandoned bicycles!") -- and maybe they have a similar relationship with their crafts. And maybe even with their occupants, which may simply be pilots that are just avatar bodies, or drones.

- They're not that advanced and it's easy for them to come here (obviously via some means or pathway which is hard for most of us currently Earthbound humans to imagine right now!) and they fuck things up. But, their fuckups are cheap. Simple.

- They are actually here all the time, in great numbers. Let's say 40,000 per second, zipping around Earth, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. And let's say, in a good year, the government detects and picks up 16 - 20 crashed objects. Let's generously say there's 2x that that actually crash. So they have odds of crashing of around 1 in 30 billion trips. Our best air travel safety is 1 in 11 million flights. So they are around 1000 times safer than commercial air travel, at significantly (to our minds) higher demands. So that reframes their crashing from this incredible thing that splinters the fantasy of their apparently advanced natures, and paints it instead as, a pretty low defect rate indicative of a level of capability orders of magnitude beyond ourselves. In other words, not all that contradictory as we, in our own human limitations, first would think! Hahaha! :)
Memory seems very low for inference on bigger models?. Memory bandwidth is also massively lower than something like a 4090 or 7900xtx?. Am I missing some fairy dust magic here?
While it is light on actual emulation improvement, they did do a lot of infrastructure updates especially modifications towards resources that are no longer available.

I don't know if this will be the winning fork in the end, but I agree it is certainly the most "hyped" so I hope that publicity is not for nothing.

While it is often not ideal to have a non-dev in charge, I am going to try to hold off on too much judgment and hope for the best until things sort themselves out, they did at least take action.

This article, along with other articles I’ve seen about this, talk about the door plug being “opened”. This brings to mind an interesting comment from a few days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39624602

You can “open” and “close” a door without documenting it. If you “remove” a piece of an airplane, you document it.

So perhaps a part of Boeing’s error is that they think about “opening” a door plug but they did not design it such that it could be safely “opened” and “closed” without special care.

As I understand it, the door plug is indeed an awkward in-the-middle design in that you can remove four bolts and do something resembling “opening” it without fully removing it. But if you open a door, the plane has better alert the pilots if you try to fly the plane without properly closing the door, and the plug has no such feature.

It’s possible now, no idea why anyone would want this though. The idea is that you want something helpful, and you can do some additional prompting to encourage the model to ask questions but outright derailing the conversation is contrary to what these models are trying to do.

I'm honestly confused why anybody would waste their time working for free to improve an Open Core project. You're donating your labor to a private company to improve their product.
The study is really broken from the beginning:

ask someone who take drugs to assess their own capacities, instead of measuring those from an objective perspective.

Obviously, "yes cannabis affects your ability to self-report your cognitive abilities";

it's a psychoactive drug that is mainly used for its cognitive effects, it's the main use/"advantage" of it ! (more rarely for pain management)

It's like if you ask alkaloidal cocaine (crack) users how they feel about their abilities.

They may report amazing bodily control enhancement, and seen from the outside it may be very different.

Even alcohol users, at the exit of night clubs, you sometimes see them report self-report increased abilities and decide to drive.

In that case, asking them to self-report doesn't give you much info on their actual abilities.
> By your logic, a psychopath CEO may deliberately undermine safety culture to earn more profits and still won't be held responsible, because it's “limited liability”.

Yep. This is how it is generally done. Shareholder's in Boeing are literally responsible for installing "a psycopath CEO" who undermined safety and they aren't liable. I see little difference between that and extending the protection to the CEO as well. It gets better results because we don't chase risk-averse people out of the CEO position. In this situation, we WANT the most risk-averse people we can find in the CEO seat of the airline manufacturers. They won't take it if the response to a crisis is making the position more risky.

There is an argument that the CEO should be liable if it leads to more productive results. But I don't see why that would be true - it is more effective to adjust the profitability of the company when things go wrong and let the incentives do the rest. The default position is that doing your job poorly is not criminal.

Also; most CEOs are psycopaths. You don't need to include it as an adjective. It is built in to the title.

For those who claim the protester was an idiot, consider their goal wasnt keeping their job and instead living their values.

There is no sexual "perversion" available to us, that was not once considered a normal, moral, perhaps even necessary act by someone else.

Barring the things like electro-genital stimulation that haven't been available long enough to have wide experimentation. Even then, if you look, you're likely to find advocates and denunciations as soon as the possibility for a new perversion opens.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It’s really interesting how much of an impact language choice has on outcomes. Given your description of esbuild, it almost feels like there is space for a bundler compiler that can generate an optimized bundler from a pipeline.
Listing things is very common, so why would you outsource that to S3 when all your bookkeeping is elsewhere? It's not like you would ever rely on the POSIX API for that anyway, even for when your files actually are on a POSIX filesystem.

For sure, for maintenance tasks etc. it sounds quite useful. And good hygiene with prefixes sounds like a sane idea. But listing being a critical part of what "makes S3 useful"? That seems like an huge stretch that your points don't seem to address.

It wasn't until Windows 3 that I used Windows most of the time.
It is, because even without looking at the product I can be very certain they don't implement nearly as good 2FA as say Keycloak or other solutions like that out there.

If anything, save some money and stop reimplementing all the login and account management functionality and let the OIDC (or worse, SAML) provider do it.

That's not the end game of any "open core" company I have ever seen.

They usually will restrict certain software features only to paying customers.

From Wikipedia [0]:

> The open-core model is a business model for the monetization of commercially produced open-source software. The open-core model primarily involves offering a "core" or feature-limited version of a software product as free and open-source software, while offering "commercial" versions or add-ons as proprietary software. The term was coined by Andrew Lampitt in 2008.

Limited liability means the owners can't lose more than they invest if the venture fails.

It works well because it encourages investors to take risks and fund new ventures.

It doesn't give them immunity to commit criminal acts, and therefore it doesn't protect the officers they appoint either (like the CEO).

If the CEO knowingly makes criminal decisions, he can absolutely be prosecuted.
> End to end encryption is great, but have you ever actually tried to search

I've implemented a few e2ee apps, both for myself and clients, and every single time this comes up, along with other business metrics / queries.

If the encryption model ensures the server cannot process the data in any way, it means everything has to be done locally by clients, and only on their own data.

Also, bye bye BI.
Read all the responses here on this article and then tell me again what nobody is saying.
A contributor offered the feature for free, the maintainers don't want it to be free. It's expected because is a business.

It's disappointing because it's a problem with no clear winners. It's difficult to solve it for all.

I was not trying to be contentious, just observing that open core is difficult to do it right for all parts involved.

Things will align themselves, probably a fork, users moving to alternatives, or something else.
When you embed the relevant (not necessarily that of object creation) timestamp as a prefix, it sure becomes one. Whether that prefix is part of the "path" (object/path/prefix/with/<4-digit year/)" or directly part of the basename (object/path/prefix/to/app-specific/files/<4-digit year>-<2-digit month>-....), being able to limit the search space server-side becomes incredibly useful.

You can try it yourself: list objects in a bucket prefix with lots of files, and measure the time it takes to list all of them vs. the time it takes to list only a subset of them that share a common prefix.
Great! I think I get your concerns now.

When we talk about problems for potential solving there are pretty much always a group of people, I'm yet to see a case where there is only one person, who uses something. Even if you publish your riced-up arch linux config on github, someone will clone it and it's a pretty niche area :). Of course, if we are talking about starting a business it's better to perform a market analysis, thankfully there're communities for everyone. Let's say you want to do some integration thingy for a cloud-based CRM, you can find a reddit page, telegram/whatsapp group, or something like that, where the most involved users are located and just ask them some questions. Of course, there is always a limit of how many potential customers you can attract, but if you're building something small and niche, you probably won't need to spend a whole lot on development. There are many examples on youtube of devlogs or reports from guys, who made some little thing, like a webtool, that automatically checks TLS certificates and notifies you (idk, just a random idea) and with the right outreach are getting some clients. To get more clients you can post on a themed subreddit, producthunt, HN, etc. It may be small, but it how cool if it works!

Okay, scale. Of course, no one expects you to build huge and complex projects on your own. The point is how you write your small ones, how flexible is it? what about performance, potential for scale, etc. Basically, it's a small example of how you personally think about technical problems and solve them. Sometimes companies give you a small test task, I personally once wrote a pdf invoice generator with an API, just a small thing, but it has shown the employer how I do things. Please keep in mind, that you are not supposed to know everything, "Never worked with some specific IAM system?", don't worry, if you are used to learning new things you will quickly pick up what you need.

Once again, it's not the absolute truth, it's just a part of my experience, I'm sure, that other people will have something else to add or disagree with.

> Can you imagine running a company that makes aeroplanes and not going to sleep each night panicking about all the lives you’re ferrying around up in the sky?

I dunno. I think that's a little melodramatic. There are a lot of activities in the world with dangerous failure modes, and flying is pretty far down the list in terms of impact. You could make the same argument about chemical engineers designing pesticide plants, insulin pump manufacturers, hell even folks doing car suspensions are probably responsible for more deaths than Boeing.

People do their jobs, and if the impact is low they'll live with it. Clearly Boeing's leadership thought they were doing OK. And even in hindsight they... kinda were? The MAX is the most dangerous airliner in decades, maybe a half century. But I'd still fly on it.

sometimes I wonder if org charts are engineered to make sure misdeeds are attributed to diffuse cultural/systemic problems that can’t be prosecuted:

- you can’t blame the low level employees inhabiting the system be their powerless to change it

- the CEOs are hoping that they’ve installed enough layers of middle management that they can claim plausible deniability about any on the ground problems (and ignore that their job is to be the manager-of-managers)
