It’s a good idea not to have per rack UPS in a colo. Customers are really bad at maintaining equipment Making sure customers replace batteries every five years might be difficult.

Also, in my opinion, all UPS manufactures make horrible UPS equipment. There can be so many different types of failures or problems or glitches. You don’t want a UPS leaking or exploding. Also, there are laws in some states that only allow so many pounds of batteries in a building.
You can't install ARM native MacOS games via Steam without Rosetta because of Steam. It's tedious, and suggests they aren't interested in "keeping Apple".
Well, I would call that them giving up the ghost, but the ship sailed a long time ago to mix metaphors, when Apple canned Safari for Windows.

Maybe this much ballyhooed trust in mobile Safari as the last bulwark against Chrome ubiquity is just an affectation of the HN set and not even something Apple cares about very much at all. Maybe you’ve all been placing your trust in a champion who’s uninterested in your fight.

As for me, I’m glad that Orion is an alternative if I ever was to switch away from Safari.
most will just laugh their way to the bank..

business as usual.
totally agree, but what i’m getting at is the creative core of an expression. there’s an aspect of a piece that impresses and i’m claiming that exists as something the viewer appreciates and imitates in their mind’s eye.

as a programmer, i create many things that impress people, but when i show them the methods of that creation, i can palpably feel their excitement wane as they lose interest in the nuance of my execution.

beyond the surface, there’s an aspect of being impressed that is also the desire to take part in the recreation of it all.

my claim in the first person, “i’m visually impressed by many image generators, but i’m not interested in fiddling with knobs, buttons, and strings to recreate the image in my mind’s eye”
If the exact tools test was part of the training of the model, wouldn’t that throw off the results and not generalize?
Well, then maybe the DOJ will.
This is kind of missing the point. I can only speak for the company that sponsors LiteFS (I don't think any edge computing companies put 'otoolep up to doing rqlite, for instance). We love Postgres. Most of our users use Postgres. And Postgres works fine in edge/backhaul configurations; companies were doing geographically distributed Postgres read replicas long, long before we came around. That's where we got the idea.

The idea of LiteFS is:

* Most apps are read-heavy, and some of them are overwhelmingly read-heavy.

* If you're read-heavy and can thus get away with it, there's a pretty significant performance win in replacing the networked n-tier architecture with SQLite, because Postgres round trips add up over the lifecycle of any given request.

* In fact, that's so much the case that --- as Richard Hipp has been pointing out for over a decade --- you can blow off the N+1 problem and just write natural queries.

I think Ben Johnson would be the first to tell you that LiteFS isn't a perfect fit for every application. We have systems that use both Postgres and LiteFS.

Meanwhile, you have to dig to find it on our web page! It's an open source project that works everywhere Linux does. Dial back the cynicism a bit! :)

this is my first account, and i understand your perspective. i did sometimes come to HN from 2015 onwards, but not enough to really get a feel for the level of content and conversation that happened. 2015 is still much later than you first started using it, so i can see how your older first impressions of this site led you to the conclusion that present-day HN is a shadow of its former self.

so i think we agree on everything, except that you're comparing pre-2016 to now, vs. me comparing 2020 to now, which leads to the opposite conclusions. excuse me for being a part of the less interesting era of posters ;-)
When the camera adapter was first released, usb-c didn’t exist.

And how much do you think Apple really made on MFI licenses as a percentage of revenue? It was a rounding error and many of the knocks off people bought from Amazon weren’t even licensed.

Something I realized years ago, the 6502 instruction set is small enough that it can be (almost) entirely implemented as memory look up — no actual logic computation need occur.
I'm not the author but have been on Workman and Vim for about 8 years. I don't think the meaning matters at all outside of the initial learning phase. Now it's all completely "muscle memory"; having to think "I want to move a word along, word starts with 'w' and 'w' is the key for moving a word along" would annihilate any efficiency modal editing gives. When I'm using Vim, it's just a matter of "I want the cursor there and I know this particular finger movement does that".

I remapped probably Vim 10-15 keys 8 years ago, no issues so far.

"Something else hasn't had a problem before so it must be okay" isn't proof of anything and a fallacy.

There are known unknown structural issues with 737 NG's (-6xx to -9xx non-MAX) beginning around 1995 that have never been resolved because they were assembled poorly and built with substandard "approved" components by subcontractor DuCommun but aren't so serious that they would necessarily cause an immediate, catastrophic failure. Instead, there have been an increase in fuselage damage and failures under heavy load circumstances such as hard landings, runway overruns, and potentially during extreme turbulence. Al Jazerra made a feature-length documentary about it and the tales of the whisleblowers, but because of the predominant anti-muslim bias in America, it has been largely ignored and dismissed by the mainstream. Even Wikipedia includes biased conclusions that Obama's DOJ rammed down the throats of media and countermanded the NTSB's investigations and statements. [0]

It isn’t exactly intuitive that when the sun’s light appears to be blocked it is nevertheless dangerous to stare at the eclipse because of invisible UV rays. This is something you specifically have to learn and is only relevant for a very rare event. Seems kind of harsh to consider people stupid for not knowing that.
Then there are also ineffective counterfeit eclipse glasses that people unknowingly bought…

Fear also makes you a better programmer: people these days are way too willing to take on cavalier amounts of risk and then offload deciding whether it worked or not onto others in code review, onto a stifling number of unit tests, and even--most frustratingly--onto the ability to scope or roll back changes before they affect "too many" users. The reality is that the number of people whose photo library or bank account--or even merely whose birthday party--it is "acceptable" to ruin is 0, not a supposedly-negligible 0.0001% of your billion users :(... that's a thousand people whose lives you have affected, and at least they deserve some kind of personal apology from the engineers who failed them! My entire job and most of the money I have made in my life is following behind "fearless" programmers and picking up after them: tearing open holes, protecting user funds, and even winning a (giant) bug bounty from a company that trusted their tests too much and leaned heavily into "move fast and break things" :/. You should have courage to stand up to fear, but you should never discard it or think you have somehow outsmarted it: that fear is your best defense from hubris and it also shows you have empathy for those who rely on the correctness of your work.
Yes, AI/LLM audio generation is going to be huge. A lot of free podcasts are already distributed as YouTube videos with the only "video" part being the host speaking into the microphone. Some podcasting companies like Acast are sitting on a gold mine of AI training content.

> Do we need to rethink the idea of global social media platforms? Maybe even the idea of a global internet.

Yes.

> If countries like Brazil or India want to have everything censored

They aren't even the worst. The biggest advocates of censorship on american social media is europe, canada, israel, etc.

> create some subsidiary application solely for people within each of those countries

Or maybe brazil or india should outright ban these platforms and create their own? These countries have their own national tv stations, newspapers, etc? Why don't they have their own twitter, facebook, etc?

If media essentially controls who you vote for, shouldn't india, brazil and every democracy control their own media? Seems to me that a foreign nation controlling so much of your social media is a direct threat to your democracy.

Besides, if we continue on this path of global social media, we would have to censor everything everyone finds offensive. It would be the tyranny of the offended. The worst kind of tyranny.

Well you guessed wrong.

The amount of denial around Linux's abhorrent UX in 2024 is staggering.

There are mailing list reports dating back a few years with many other users experiencing the same issue, the going theory is a bug in GRUB's USB keyboard drivers. No one has any idea why or how to fix it.

GP is complaining about having to supply an email address and the alternative is a system that in some cases is literally unbootable after a fresh install. But it's local accounts only so it's all good.
This is quite similar to the models used by all the AI music generators. Some feed the tokens into a language model to generate music, some replace the tokenization part with an alternative that gives a continuous representation for diffusion models.
EPA extends credits for automakers, further relaxing car rule
Poor stow. We used it in the stone age about 20 years ago for unpackaged, shared software management on academic research clusters (Think "/usr/{{other hierarchy}}" over NFS). The problem with it is it depends entirely on symlinks and some programs get confused or just don't like them.

Nix, hab/habitat, containers, or overlay filesystems (such as with flatpak, etc.) are options that might work better that get around this problem.
It's his married name, and would conventionally be hyphenated, but he decided not to (I think because he thought it would be funnier without the hyphen).
I know that participating on HN has made my comments on all forums more thoughtful, less hyperbolic, more serious, and generally better considered. The reasonable rules, excellent moderation and the community culture here have been excellent teachers. The voting mechanism helps me gauge if my comments are reasonable (I don't care about the magnitude but more the negative/positive score telling me if I'm off the rails).

Perhaps a similar effect eventually takes hold on many of the contributors, and for the ones who can't moderate themselves to the culture here, I guess they'll recess into lurkers or simply go away elsewhere.

Yeah that is sensible. It is one thing that I miss about the internet back in the early 2000s.

I am still a bit conflicted tbh about what to do concerning that. The accounts don't really get deleted, and it is not far-fetched to imagine tools that correlate the styles accross multiple accounts (so, one mistake, and the identity is unveiled).

Stow never got enough love. Gobo Linux was based on the same idea, it never got enough love.

Now we are paying for it with heavy weight solutions — containers, snaps, flatpak, etc. instead of evolving to a higher-order form of Stow.
Wow, this article brought back memories I'd forgotten. I applied for an internship at Wavefront Technologies in Santa Barbara back in the 90's. I was so impressed with their offices and the SGI boxes they were using.

AlbertCory, I appreciate your frankness. I also doubt that any sensory or neural show could prove the existence of the supernatural; but I still believe in the supernatural, merely on the grounds that the natural exists, and I want to tell you why.

You know how the very consistency of the rules of the material world seem to outlive the world itself? The fact that 1 and 1 are 2 outlives the fact that a certain bottle of beer and another bottle of beer are two bottles of beer. Even if I found a single receptacle that could hold all the beer (mmm), 1 and 1 would remain 2, the fact altogether out of my reach to alter.

Similarly the pecking order in a chicken coop won't last longer than the chickens and the coop, and it can change besides—but 1 always comes before 2, and 2 before 3, and no other numbers will displace that order even if you shoved another chicken between two others near the front of the line every other second. You may destroy the line of chickens, but you'll never shake 6 off 5's tail.

The faculty by which you and I recognize these obvious truths—well, what kind of stuff is it? Do we "sense" the very number 1 in all its splendor with our mere ears or somehow conjure it up from a multiplicity of neurons? or do we merely suppose or opine, rather than know, that the numbers take a particular order? Of course not! Rather, we find out. We label the numbers arbitrarily to keep easy track of them, and then we count them: we see where they'll take us. We're along for the ride, passengers on someone else's train, one that can take you right outside the universe to the mysterious land of D'oh—a land, you might say, more real than our native one.

Now, the faculty by which we recognize that numbers are always prior to material nature—since nature plays by number's rules but never the other way round—what will we call it? I call it reason, anyway. It's notable among our faculties for comprehending eternal things like number, as naturally as anything else.

So commonly a human being will prefer pure numbers to any sloppy instantiation of them. Bees make hexagonal honeycombs out of natural habit because the shape of a hexagon works well; a human, however, contemplates the pure hexagon and tells its ratios and properties to other humans on HN because the numbers are just that cool, hang usefulness. This is one thing that divides humans from the mere animals.

From all this it seems to me more plain that the spiritual human soul (the part of the human that touches or is itself in eternity) exists than that Mumbai is a real city, or even that the earth is a geoid and not a perfect sphere (though I believe these things also). And anyway, I use mine every day. I should know.
Very nice! Sariel is one of the 5 archangels in Judaism. I think (in descending order) they are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Sariel. I don't remember the 5th.

You make fun of it, yet the ecosystem is so popular and well integrated that the US Department of Justice is suing them over it.
As commonly defined, you are right, but if you have the ability to select among your models, then you can use that to sharpen your notion of categoricity by considering only a certain class of models instead of all models.

You can say for example, categorical with respect to a certain cardinality of the model, that is you are only considering models of that cardinality.

And just like that, if your semantic allows it, you can also say categorical with respect to standard models. But for that you of course need a clear definition of what "standard" means. First-order logic doesn't provide such a clear definition.
I switched from Yadm to Chezmoi.

The main reason was because there invariably is always something slightly sensitive you don't want in a dotfile and the rest of the file is okay. Yadm uses third party tools to do jinja templating. The first one envtpl stopped being maintained, and the second one j2cli (both jinja2 templaters) aren't very well maintained either.

With chezmoi I just use the golang text/template templater. I know it will always be maintained. The integrated password manager functionality for chezmoi also works awesome too.

I did initially use stow, but symlinks is just bad. You end up with all sorts of problems with that I can't even remember. My whole dotfiles is 7MB, so if a copy is made from a "source tree" to my home dir that's okay.

Chezmoi also encouraged me to do things more deterministically based on hosts and reduce the number of "scripts" that I run significantly, which led to less bugs. I use the same set of dotfiles across a number of my systems.
To do a good job I need to be there and experience the pain firsthand. There are many subtle nuances that are really hard to spot from a distance.

Yes. And also, don't forget that different stakeholders ask in different ways, using different words, which turns out the situation in a nightmare. But I think it's possible to make it to work with mid-size databases.
Here is a dead comment in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39974997

It got downvoted almost certainly because they implied that doomer is the opposite of productive. Would this have been the right place to start a whole debate about whether folks who are realistic about the climate crisis are productive members of society? Probably not.

Sure, they might not have meant it that way, and sure, it's one thing at the end of their post that honestly shouldn't have killed it, but human nature is such, and that probably tells you people are tired of hearing that kind of take.
I use Firefox daily (have done so since 2016, switched over from Chrome). I have encountered exactly 1 issue. This language learning plugin only has a Chrome release: https://www.languagereactor.com/
