Ask HN: What is the difference between DevOps and platform engineering?
For the life of me I can't figure out where one starts and the other ends. I keep hearing stuff about how devops is decentralized and platform engineering is centralized, but isn't platform engineering just a return to the pre-devops way of doing things then with a fancier name?
I'd be curious to see how much the economics change if they were go to go from DAC to sourcing CO2 from a pipeline.
There's a lot of Chinese people, though.

And China has been enticing ethnic Chinese who grew up in the West to "come back to the Motherland" with promises of riches for a long time now. Quite a few made the switch, too. I very much doubt that finding a native English speaker is a problem if it's the PRC govt.

It does make it less likely to be Russia, though. Although of course this could always just be subcontracted.

Shared read-only core volumes combined with write overlay volumes at the hypervisor level are the way out of this.

Containers are pseudo isolation lacking most/all of the isolation, capacity allocation, and rate limiting guarantees that type-1 hypervisors offer.

There is no substitute for better technology (like partially paravirtualized VMs, mem deduped) used correctly, similar to Kata Containers.
This is really cool! Starred and look forward to seeing how this develops further!
You might be simplifying, but just to clarify an LP can have many general partners and many limited partners.
Some are, some not so much. Consider, e.g., Jeepers Creepers. There are plenty of simplistic lyrics in the Great American Songbook.
I have referred to several RAND papers in varying topics over the years. They seemed highly professional, and I have the impression that RAND's work is highly non-partisan. Can you give an example of what you are talking about?
I believe it uses the latter, but the missing piece is a userspace TCP/IP stack, since otherwise you'd need TUN device permissions to bridge over the impendence mismatch of sockets and IP packets containing TCP/UDP segments/datagrams.

It uses gVisor for that.
I just want to comment that the image of the Santa Ana property looks a lot like the main character’s apt in the movie Momento, adding some umami to the whole vibe.
I mean, yes. I’ve read all the commentary I can get my hands on about this incident because it is fascinating and this is the first instance of some parallel construction theory of finding it I’ve seen.

Second, maybe a routine dependency review is how they _actually_ found it but they don’t want future people like this focusing too much on that otherwise they may try to mitigate, whereas now they may focus on something inane like a 0.5 second increase in sshd’s load time or whatever.
We're talking about deserialising JSONs in the application server here, nobody stops you from treating ids as numbers on the database side of things.

But also, this sounds like a premature optimisation. Most applications will never reach a level where their performance is actually impacted by string comparison, and when you reach that stage, you're likely have already thrown out a lot of other common sense stuff like db normalisation to get there, and we shouldn't judge "regular people" advice because it doesn't usually apply to you anyway.

Out of curiosity, have you ever seen an application that was meaningfully impacted by this? How gigantic was it?

----

Scratch that. I've actually thought about it some more, and now I'm not 100% sure it's premature, I have to investigate further to be sure. Question still stands though.

I feel like such a downer when I ask this about Bun and Deno, but: why should I use them instead of Node?

I don’t mean to take away from the obviously impressive engineering effort here. But VC funding always gives me pause because I don’t know how long the product is going to be around. I was actually more interested in Deno when it promised a reboot of the JS ecosystem but both Bun and Deno seem to have discovered that Node interoperability is a requirement so they’re all in the same (kinda crappy) ecosystem. I’m just not sure what the selling point is that makes it worth the risk.
Ask HN: What's the best way to learn about Kubernetes?
I need to start doing a bunch of Kubernetes stuff for work and am looking for the path of least friction to get productive quickly while being able to iteratively learn concepts. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Don't care.

A numeric identity is an identity and so is a string.

If you want to math it, it is a number, otherwise... string.

> Putting a price on travel does not effectively manage traffic. It just chops traffic off.

There's already a price on travel-- the opportunity cost of waiting in traffic.

Putting a congestion charge in place may reduce the total price on travel for the people who need it the most.

Not to mention the externalities of vehicle traffic, which strengthen the case for a charge even more.

Oops backwards. Increasing temperature...
Almost no one grasps, or interested in, formal verification. It's difficult to get software devs to even do unit testing much less prove their compilers always produce correct code.
Another independent maintainer would have helped too. Many eyes make bugs shallow, but just one extra genuine maintainer would have helped enormously. Clearly the existing maintainer trusted the attacker completely, but a second maintainer would not have. That's another social dimension to this attack: doing enough real work to suppress other maintainers coming along.
Such embossed discs were quite common in the late 19th century for various music boxes and orchestrions.

It seems like they then went out of fashion in favour of paper rolls, presumably due to the increased playing time that could fit on a roll. Then of course the gramophone record was invented, so back to discs... Enter audio cassette tapes: miniature rolls. CDs. Are we in fact stuck in an eternal cycle? Where are my optical tapes?!
Yes, that's a big one. Google searches are no longer anonymous now because people are mostly in a logged-in state on their browser thanks to Gmail or YouTube.
I'm from a Spanish speaking country. In the 90s one of the ubiquitous pencil brands had on their pencils the phrase "Sin plomo" or "No contiene plomo", can't remember which one, these phrases translate to "Without lead" and "Does not contain lead" respectively.

I never understood where it came from but it probably came from some English label translation perhaps? Where the distinction and labeling where the disambiguation of the word "Lead" made more sense and the label was simply translated at face value on a Spanish speaking market.

I'm partly sad at the approach this and other engines take: reimplement each part (PDF parser, etc etc) in a way where they are pretty much useless except in their specific engine.

If instead we had a PDF() class that did what RAGFlow is doing (dealing with all the different trade-offs of the different python PDF engines such as pdfplumber), then we could easily adapt it and improve it, and it can be useful for other projects as well.
Also I'll say this right here as a former fatty and current fat-shamer and fat-nonacceptant.

The absolute worst thing about ACA is that it made it illegal to charge obese people higher insurance rates. It's basically stealing money out of the rest of our pockets who have to work with you -- and thank God being an unhealthy mess isn't a protected class because I would never hire somebody to work with me who has a terrible lifestyle.

Japan does this right. Your workplace and the public health service makes you get a check up every year and will follow up with you to make sure you're on a plan to get healthier. And they will both encourage you and also nag the shit out of you until you do it. The fact that we don't follow such a practice here I find almost barbaric.
Doesn't do much good if the OS doesn't enforce them like seL4 can.

I'm a Columbia University computer science graduate with past work experience ranging from full-stack software engineering at a Y Combinator startup to VP of Engineering at a hedge fund.

I currently provide software engineering consulting services including full-stack engineering, infrastructure, and cybersecurity consulting.

I speak 3 languages fluently (English, Sinhala, and Mandarin Chinese).
By vanilla, I mean `ssh -D`, as opposed to anything else that can offer a SOCKS port without actually transporting over ssh (ex. this project). Last time I compared, that was noticeably slower than wireguard, which yeah I attributed to TCP over TCP being kinda awful.
I'm not sure how much evidence there is that the actual text of the Mahabharata is anywhere near that old.

Wikipedia says

> The bulk of the Mahābhārata was probably compiled between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE, with the oldest preserved parts not much older than around 400 BCE. [1]

The actual events that it was based on are older. The same article says that the Kurukshetra war was probably around 1000 BCE, and that there may have been events referenced that are older than that.

I don't know that there is accepted evidence that it was written much before 400 BCE, though.

I disagree with the idea of people taking on more debt in order to tackle the affordability crisis (or in-work poverty). To me that seems to represent a poverty trap - and those lenders that make money off the interest paid by debtor’s get richer while debtors either remain poor or get poorer and this model doesn’t actually address the issues with income inequality or precarious employment which is becoming increasingly more common. Putting people further into debt just doesn’t address the issue of more workers experiencing downward mobility in income.

It seems to me that a better way to tackle the issue would be to pay people living wages. Living wages theoretically allow people to earn enough money to escape the poverty traps that generally cause them to be reliant on debt to meet their basic needs and proper living wages allow for them to afford what they need now as well as helping them to be prepared for shocks (like pandemics’s that cause people to have to stay home and not work).
Then people go crazy when Golang announced they want to enable informed opt-out telemetry.
Plenty of others have names like that, all the way "down" to the trades.
I'm getting confused reading your first sentence based on the rest of your comment; should homelab and laptop be swapped?
That most of my neighbors are assholes. Before, I merely assumed.
The latter, in the context of the justification.

It was pulled because while it caught on the order of 25 of pure AI output, it missed the rest. But I’m cool with that number, in a world where so much AI in human writing? That’s a total win on low-effort propaganda. Anyone should be cool with that number.

Unfortunately they had to pull it because something like 9% of human authored text got hit with the AI flag. Again, some people are starting to write like it. It’s gonna happen.

This is from memory, so if I’ve got some that wrong I’ll retract that and leave my other reasons as more than sufficient to indicate serious change.
I was thinking “hey, I bet it would be pretty easy to write something like this in Go”. And of course it’s written in Go!
That makes sense, but how are these paths encrypted? If it's at runtime, you should be able to just not encrypt them. If it's at install time, do they generate a custom encrypted exe just for you per-download?
It’s not running TS directly, it’s just preconfigured to transpile TS to JS without the user having to bring extra tooling. Neat, but you’ll see the docs still recommend tsc for type checking at build.

this is great - i would love to use this if it had MSA, levantine and egyptian dialects. It's a little annoying that a moving highlight is not present which is also tied to the audio playback. Would you consider implementing this?
That is an unfortunate acronym.
You do not think Iced counts yet?
I'm not sure why the author takes such umbrage at A16Z promoting its own portfolio companies. It is their blog after all.
Education, opportunity, and freedom are not superficial. Denmark is an ok place where people can live ok lives, provided they tread carefully and keep everyone else out.

And good weather shouldn't be taken for granted. It can affect your entire mood.
I mean what I say. There is no reason for Cloudflare's browser checks outside of their desire to de-anonymize Tor users.
Woodside, Malibu, lots of places.
I think part of what I suspect is going on here too is more computation and finiteness. It seems correct that LLM architectures cannot perform too much computation (unless you unroll it in the context).

On the other hand you can look at statistical model identification in, say, nonlinear control. This can absolutely lead to unboundedly long predictions.
It's all done ahead of time when the game is packaged by the developer. The executable you download contains every encrypted path that might be executed, but the authentication handshake only gives you the keys for a subset of those.
Node is safe choice, IMO. I tried deno and I think it's cool, but I'm staying on node for the time being. Things that deno makes easier are not that hard with node and stability matters for me. For example I had to spend few hours rewriting my tiny service with changed deno API. Don't have any experience with bun, though.

lol touched a nerve did I? Why are people so defensive of criticism of California? I’ve lived here my entire life and can tell you what’s great and what’s not. I want to change what isn’t working but if you’re just in denial about reality how can things ever get better? There’s a homeless camp under nearly ever freeway overpass… how can we be doing so well if that’s true? Go drive around Oakland or Fruitvale or Antioch or anywhere along the 5 or 99… California is in bad bad shape. It’s not all Palo Alto or Malibu…

Ugh, now this is driving me crazy. So I'm 99% sure that that exists, but I cannot for the life of me find the link. There's a CDN / edge compute company that gets published on HN semi-regularly that has this sweet client that... does a lot of things, but among them is connecting to your serverless containers by actually instantiating an entire TCP/IP stack in the application that's hooked up to the remote end over a wireguard proxy that's also in-application...

Transpiling TS is really easy task, because TS developers made huge effort to make it possible. You basically remove all types and that's about it. Probably could be done with simple character streaming algorithm.

At this point, IMO, it should just be implemented within V8. Would make things much simpler for everyone.
Lead for mechanical pencils is highly conductive, seemingly pure graphite but I think they can have different hardness ratings too, I wonder what the difference is.
I think the problem may be that if you’re technical enough to want a privacy first static image host, you probably can use S3, GCP, etc.

If you’re not all that technical, you’ll just post to instagram or send on a messaging app.

Maybe some kind of feature with a static page to host images could be useful to folks? Maybe just a service that lets folks host a single image on a domain, even.

You say you are making a narrow argument, but how? You cannot shape the reality of the argument such that it conveniently fits the narrative. The world is complex, and if there is an important nuance to be added, we cannot just ignore it because the initial argument is narrow. That is not how debating works. Like, we cannot just rewind to October 6th and ignore everything since then. There is important context in events that have unfolded since.

You say: “Hamas is far, far worse” but how? Israel has litterally just banned al Jazeera, I’m not aware that Hamas has e.g. banned the BBC. If your earlier point was that there was no Haaretz operating in Gaza, but how? Gaza is under occupation and a sever blockade, any media operation is bound to suffer under such circumstances. Free journals without state subsidies are hard in most economies, in impoverished regions like Gaza, much more so. And even if such press could thrive, Israel has been targeting journalists in Palestine even before Oct 7, this includes detention and even assassinations.

The state control which Hamas imposes upon journalism in Gaza is minute next to the state control which Israel imposes upon the same population. Hamas’s control is negligible. Yes they operate their own TV station and Radio. But they do not target journalists operating in Gaza, they do not detain and assassinate journalists, they do no not bomb offices of foreign media operators, they do not ban international media from broadcasting in their territory. Israel does all these things.
