Did that for years. Spend so much more time fiddling with computers than getting any actual benefit from them.

Now all my shit’s in docker, launched by one shell script per service. I let docker take care of restarts. There’s no mystery about where exactly all of the config and important files for any of the services lives.

I barely even have to care which distro I’m running it on. It’s great.

What’s funny is that the benefits of docker, for me, have little to do with its notable technical features.

1. It provides a common cross-distro interface for managing services.

2. It provides a cross-disro rolling-release package manager—that actually works pretty well and has well-maintained, and often official, packages.

3. It strongly encourages people building packages for that package manager to make their config more straightforward and to make locations of config files and data explicit and documented thoroughly in a single place. That is, it forces a lot of shitty software to de-shittify itself at the point I’ll interact with it (via Docker).

I've been exactly thinking about it this way for a long time. Actually once we're able to push computation down into our disk drives, I wouldn't be surprised if these "Disk Shaders" will be written in eBPF.
I think the issue is that smart home devices didn't do anything I couldn't already do, but a physical switch is faster than arguing with the computer.

Hey Google, can you turn off the baby bedroom light?

I'm sorry, I don't know that device.
I believe the solution is to decentralise, i.e. let the customer run the machines in their own AWS account (what I'm doing with RunsOn, link in bio if interested).

It is very hard for a single player to get favourable treatment from Azure / AWS / GCP to handle many thousands of jobs every day / hour.

I wish Depot all the luck, I think they've done good work wrt caching.
Interesting bit about the Apple Store redesign. I game on my computer and consoles, but haven't installed a new phone game is probably 5+ years. Usually when I am in an airport I scroll through the App Store, and I am shocked by how similar it looks every time. You have drill down to see anything but Fremium/Gambling/Sports games, and even then the list looks 10 years old.

Flash had a really vibrant games ecosystem. And for a while it seemed like mobile would take up the torch for minigames, but it has really dropped it. It seems next to impossible to self publish, and the cross compilation frameworks never quite got to parity with native. I have seen some Indie PC games publish mobile versions, but they are never as good. And mostly they seem to exist because otherwise someone will straight copy your game and publish it to the app store, assets and all.

But this is indicative of the games industry. It is massive, but you look at the breakdown and most of its gambling with extra steps. So has the games industry grown, or the gambling industry using new media?
I remember the original Google announcement where it was announced that Google would help with the huge storage requirements for the project, I just dug up the YouTube announcement. Pretty amazed that this video is 17 years old now, a testament to how long these projects are in development for... this 2007 video wasn't even when it began.

Thanks. It boggles my mind that an article like this about a scientific camera can fail to list the focal length and aperture, which are basically the two most important numbers for any camera.
Basically, anything that comes from a swift.org link is cross-platform and will run perfectly well just about anywhere.

If you've got something coming from developer.apple.com it will be specific to the Apple ecosystem. And of course this learning resource is Apple-specific since it is coming from developer.apple.com.
IMO it shouldn’t be called open unless the thing being shared is human-understandable. Like open source programs, you get the source code, which you can inspect, and figure out if you trust it. This ability to inspect (and modify) what matters about open source.

When I look at ML weights, I don’t understand them, they just look like some random matrix to me. I think we need to have access to the training set and a description of the steps in training process (like a makefile).

If you want to share inscrutable weights after processing, call it what it is: Shareware. Shareware was great! But it isn’t open.
Are you suggesting iOS developers should use another language (Flutter? Objective-C?), or that it’s a sucker move to become an iOS developer?
There were two great evil ideologies that ravaged the last century. One promoted hate agains people based on race, another based on wealth. One was called fascism and the other marxism. They both killed millions and they both are rearing their ugly heads back lately.

As an individual you are entitled to hate whomever you want. After all, we all have the racist uncle or the commie nephew. But the law should shield the public from people like you, not help you hunt your victims. Anti-segregation, anti-discrimination and privacy laws are good for that.
Window management in macOS has gotten worse over time.

There are at least 3 ways to do everything now (e.g. Classic windowing, fullscreen splits, Spaces, Stage Manager), and they're all a bit crap.

Apple needs to implement a proper window management API that lets you replace Dock.app (which controls a lot of window management suff IIRC) so that we can do it ourselves and not rely on accessibility API hacks or disabling SIP.
1,000 HN users watching people repost.
Probably some combination of:

- It's a cold state in winter and there's at least the perception that you don't want an EV in places with cold winters. (I see few enough Teslas in the wild in exurban Boston.)

- It's a relatively poor state.

- I imagine pickups and the like are disproportionately represented.

- It's big and sparsely populated as you say.

A friend of mine who lives in Boston but owns a house on a bunch of land in northern Vermont finally got a Tesla when he convinced himself there was sufficient buffer for weekly trips between the two places.
Why is the HN submission titled "Andres Freund and the xz backdoor"? The NYTimes title (at least right now?) is: "Did One Guy Just Stop a Huge Cyberattack?"
It's good AIslop is labeled for now, as if it's a novelty worth pursuing. But when this meaningless, demonic horror show takes over most entertainment, people will be less amused.

I for one do not look at AI-generated images, listen to AI-generated sounds or music, watch AI videos, and other than the various bots and shills online in forums like this, I do not interact with AI chat bots. Imagine filling your brain with generated garbage.
There's probably lots of stretches where you need to go more than 10 miles to hit much of anything. There certainly is on long hiking trails in the Midwest and West.

Doing a quick search, there's spots where paved roads are 30 miles apart, and lots of times it will be more than 10 miles to get to the nearest town.
If I am a former coworker, and I reach out to you, and give you a URL, it's a unique URL that ties back to me as an internal referral. You are then given higher priority over the general stack: you have just cut through the automated tracking system.

On the other side, we will have 200 people apply in a day for some jobs. 190 of them will be people we wouldn't even consider for the job, and it's entirely possible that a blind submission that is good will get swept up with the bad. This just doesn't happen with internal submissions.

Now, the days of "any referral of X is an auto-hire" is gone for any company under 20 people, at this point, because there are many ways that can go wrong legally. However, that doesn't mean it's useless: you have a significant advantage with an internal submission.

I understand how it works, and why you would even maybe want this, but this just straight-up seems like a mistake. It breaks const-invariance, which I guess is no longer invariant. Is just any proposal making into C++ these days?

> He tells us that this function might be handy when dealing with containers of const-qualified elements.

Then just.. don't.. const-qualify your elements? What a neat footgun, not even consts are safe in C++ now.

To get chorus right I’m not sure if LLM type tech can accurately repeat the chorus it has made up before. Many songs have very repeated chorus. An example is U2s One. “Is it getting better..” and then another chorus “did I disappoint you..”

Current generated songs are made like sentences where you hear entire song without much structure

What the state of places to stay on the AT these days?

Last I heard, there were still a lot of trail angel homes and on-trail campsites, but my info is ~25 years old.
I have a Roomba, it works pretty well for doing 'maintenance level' vacuuming--keeping the level of cat hair to a manageable level, etc. For the most part, robot vacuums have succeeded in becoming boring, which is what I really want in an appliance.
It would be nice to have a tripod on wheels that can have my iPad follow me around, and possibly respond to voice commands (move up, move down) or possibly integrate with the iPad camera to automatically be at eye level.

I've been using this and it's great but has its limitations: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J6HBY1Q
The thing is that there is probably a lot of existing C++ code that is UB without std::launder (similarly to aliasing rules.) The main problem is that the C++ object lifetime rules are not well understood by most people writing C++ code.

it was mostly for work (I was home for less than 1 month including weekends) & some vacations (~15-20 rentals for vacations). My car was also stolen and wreaked and due to the auto shortage, it took insurance 3 months to get me a new car (meaning, 3 months of rentals - each for 1 week term).
Well, it's not open source, it's not open to the public, they're not open with what they're doing or what their goals are. It's just a word like wuzzle or fibblefobble. Or google.
I visited Cluj in Romania. There was an orchard outside the city. It has been abandoned for decades but in the fall families come there and pick apples.
I used to have a dozen or so Google Home devices for all sort of automation, but have mostly given up on it. I feel like Google is going to kill these any day now, the Google Assistant on them has been getting dumber and dumber. Where in the past, it would do its best to provide an answer, now for 99% of queries it just says "idk how to help with that."

So the only thing these devices are used for these days in my household are setting alarms and turning lights on/off. In the next home, probably won't even bother.
I haven't done it myself, but everything I've seen says the AT is a completely different kind of experience. You need to (should be) in reasonably good shape, you have to carry a lot more gear (ties into the first point), there's a lot more planning and logistics to work out, and it's a much more rustic experience (literally camping every night, with a few hotel stays).

For the Camino, I started out 40 pounds overweight, I did zero physical training in preparation, I had to plan basically nothing except my flight, arrival day and departure day. I was able to do it with literally only a few weeks notice (I had never heard of it until a month prior.)

Ultimately what I'm saying is the Camino trails are much more accessible to a wide range of people, as long as they're able to fly to Europe.

ETA: I should perhaps explain that the Camino trails, or at least the most popular trail I took (the Francis) is really more of a walking trail than a hiking trail. It's mostly flat(ish) and is much closer to what's depicted in pictures posted on The Great American Rail-Trail.
Making open source publicly funded will inevitably grant governments more influence over it. Considering all the things that happened in the past decade, it's hard to trust governments to be good stewards of open source.

First of all, the xz incident should be reason to want less government involvement, not more. All publicly available evidence right now points to state actors behind the incident.

Time and time again, we've seen governments abuse technology to subvert democracy and human rights. They engage in illegal mass surveillance. They backdoor encryption standards. They hoard zero days behind our backs. They target journalists and human right advocates. They now even brazenly push for encryption bans and mandatory backdoors. All of these actions pose a serious threat to our society, and yet they're done with little to no oversight. Those responsible have faced no repercussions to date while those who exposed these things have faced retaliation.

Given our reliance on open source infrastructure, it's right that they're desperately in need of funding. However, exactly how we do that is a hard nut to crack.
I want a smart home, but I also do not want to send my data to anyone else and I don't really have the time to cobble something together.

Generally you don't rent a specific model, you rent a "So-and-so or similar". And undoubtedly the rental agreement specifically gives them permission to make substitutions. It's unlikely this scenario has not been fully mitigated by corporate legal and risk management.

For 25-player lobbies and some persistent state, I can't help but feel it's over-engineered. Certainly many games (including popular mmos) have been made with much less. This seems like they were engineering defensively against the potential of massive success, which ends up slowing everything down at the point where you need to move most quickly (pre-launch game design iteration and testing).

I don't mean to be reductive though, clearly a lot of work has gone into this architecture and they know their problems better than I do. Props to the devs for seeing it through and getting the game launched!
Ran into the same problem with umbrel. Wanted to use photoprism for a gallery but nextcloud and syncthing to backup the photos. Was easier to just manage the containers myself.
Because the majority of people on the platform are kid spenders?
It all seems right, except the reducer function does not mutate the fiber object.

Your function is certainly not pure, it boldly mutates the outside state via increment operator. It is incorrect to extrapolate this on how fiber works. The difference is that React hook, with both state and setter lives inside the dispatcher, and calling the hook setter only enqueues an update which is then handled by dispatcher, so technically speaking the hook does not mutate it's outer state directly, the dispatcher updates it's inner state while processing the queue.
Is this supposed to be a joke?

Apache Groovy: Powerful text file processing
That still depends on what the split is. If the average fee is 3% and the high-end customer is getting 2% back, the merchant could be passing on e.g. 2.1% and causing you to come out behind while still passing on only 70% of the cost.

And for anyone getting less cash back the math is even worse, which from the same premise will be the majority of people or else the merchant's costs (and so the amount they pass on) would be even higher.
HTML in email shouldn't be as big of a nightmare as it is. It really comes down to rendering engines. If all email clients just checked for text vs HTML and when HTML switched the rendering engine to Webkit, this problem could be solved overnight.

There's zero reason why you can't render an email the same way you can as a regular page (minus JavaScript).

Out of curiosity, is anybody working on this? It seems like a standard could be produced w/ relative ease to make it easier on vendors. Imagine somebody has at least proposed the idea before...

The root problem is that the legal system is completely inaccessible and non-existent to individuals or small companies. Even to medium companies. Only mega corps and law firms can afford to use the legal system. Even big tech often avoids it because of the expense, but if they do use it, they’re going to win, 99.9% of the time because of their war chests

So, people are semi defenceless when these things come up, and you can really abuse people in pretty epic and unending ways
I don't think most merchants have the option to be that granular. I believe that most payment processors only provide a simplified view of interchange rates (and other fees) to all but very large merchants.

For example Braintree is 2.59% + $0.49/transaction, plus 1% if non-USD and 1% if the card was issued outside the US.

They used to split transactions into two tiers, based on how much the actual interchange and other fees were, and you monthly bill as a merchant would show charges for each tier. Within each tier the charge to the merchant was a fixed percentage and a fixed transaction fee. There was no good way for the merchant to know ahead of time which tier a given charge would fall under, although they could guess that a high rewards card was more likely to fall into the higher fee tier.
Even the fastest (as in lowest latency) CXL memories claim a ~200ns latency (~4x worse than DDR5) and it wouldn't be free.
Yes. They are sparklines. I actually asked Rich the author if they should just be called that in great_tables but he had some reasonable thoughts on why a distinct name made sense.

In general, anything you are going to sign has to be in a simple enough format to make it so that the sender and the receiver(s) can actually determine what is signed. HTML should automatically be considered unsigned. It simply is not suitable for the purpose.

IMHO, it's a good idea. Running new contiguous multi-state rail lines suffer from a host of unique problems -- not least that the more uncooperative last-link property owner holdouts are, the more their property becomes worth.

Good use case for a public-private bargain, where the public gets the utility of a trail (and potentially a functional railroad, if needed in the future) and private gets to keep the most valuable land utilization rights (ability to convert back to railroad).

One of my historical fascinations is watching the co-evolution of rail and telecommunications line networks, since both have similar needs.
The phase 2 prompt is complete, but the phase 3 prompt's initial part ends in "When constructing the main function, ...", and no mention of random seeds, so I guess this paper is not reproducible at all.
