At least on Linux and macOS, the "OS" never was responsible for this and I at least do not believe that it should become responsible for this; the kernel merely parses the header to see if it lists an "interpreter" and, if it does (as dynamic executables do), it loads that one binary (it might also load the original binary and pass its address as an argument to the interpreter). The interpreter is usually going to be something like /lib/ld.so, and is provided by the C standard library you linked against. You might have multiple copies that work very differently, and a new programming language can implement one that is nothing like the one from glibc or adds new features, etc. This program then parses the executable and does the moral equivalent of a dlopen on all of the dependencies.

That said, I do agree that doing this in "notes" is dumb, and if they need some new feature of ELF like "alternatives" they should at least be coordinating this with glibc if not deferring the spec entirely to them. Hell: given that they previously were actually linking these things, I don't understand why a lazy loaded weak symbol wouldn't work. Does ELF not support those somehow? I thought it did. I don't think systemd is at all the best project to be trying to think through this stuff as they are always much happier adding a new complex mechanism when existing ones would work fine. If ELF is currently missing lazy loading, they should work with glibc to add that feature correctly, not try to end-to-end it through the notes field :/.

Is the Google Sheets API rate limit open enough for actual production use?

I thought it was pretty restrictive, no more than 60 writes per minute, but I'm not sure about the reads restrictions.
I believe you are responding to a joke.
Well, increasingly that long haul of university and steady job just leads to student debt and being pinched by cost of living increases that outpace the nominal rate of inflation. No wonder people dream about quick fixes - even if or especially because they are a long shot.

Edited to add, it's only worse that a lot of these quick fixes are fraudulent; the van life or trad wife influencers are often recipients of generational wealth to begin with.
See, the problem with successful people is they confuse intelligence for luck. And I'm sure you're a very lucky person yourself.

If you were smart, you would have seen the financial crash of year 2XXX. If you were smart you'd have seen that a foreign market for X would have opened up draining out all funding in the US and leaving that portion of the job market hollow. If you were smart you'd have seen that bill that allowed X thousand more people in the country in this job dropping pay rates by half.

And I'm sure you are smart for having been born in a family that was somewhere near middle class and didn't have crippingling addictions or otherwise have issues that would put education somewhere not number 1 on the priority list. I'll clap my hands at how brilliant you are...

But, what we're talking about here is those not born with all these gifts can lift themselves out of a pit of debt or worse a life that would lead to crime, so that all of us live in a better place. You have any suggestions on that. Or are you just going to lock yourself up in a gated community and not worry about that kind of thing?
Also, do you know of startups taking advantage of TEA status (e.g. 99% of Puerto Rico) to lower the EB-5 investment requirement back down to $800k? (I didn't realize it had gotten up to $1.050mm; that's high!)

No they weren't. Jia Tan has never interacted with the systemd developers in any way as far as I know.

It isn't systemd's decision what version of xz-utils to use, it's the distro's decision. And Jia Tan did push the distro maintainers to update xz-utils, but the systemd developers have absolutely nothing to do with that, so your statement is incorrect.
I still don't get it. The image is a 3-4-5 right triangle, which is mathematically fine. What do you mean by "nuts" and "points"?
Right, and your simplification is misleading and misrepresents the whole story.
Hi Peter, thank you so much for doing this.

What are your recommendations for a successful EB2 NIW application for someone who holds an MS in Computer Science from EU? For example, is there a any particular salary minimum, an expected number of years of experience, or do I need to run a company? E.g. what can I do to improve my odds? Thanks.
Perhaps not, but that doesn't mean it's not paid for. And in any case, I'm sure the terms would have been different in different cases, and it probably was possible to quit if you were able to pay for your previously-rendered services in some other fashion.

Of course, these are just details. Fundamentally, those indentured were held captive and forced to work. But that still doesn't make it unpaid, or involuntary for that matter. The bondage existed only to enforce the terms previously agreed to. I have no way to know, but I imagine many indentured servants were happy with the trade, though many also weren't. Lots of fraud too, with people being tricked into it.

As I write, I can't help but think of student loans which have similar characteristics.
China is fine with the status quo, who isn't fine with that is the US.

.net core is pretty cool. they even adopted a similar api to express if I remember well.

Yeah it's fast too. faster than node. typed etc. but C# is a complicated language. and it keeps adding features. the have awesome tooling in .net world etc.

but you know why javascript / node.js shines. JS is a simple language. of course lisps are simple i.e clojure. but only one other language comes close to the simplicity of javascript -- golang.

but is golang malleable as javascript ?

the only thing that might suck in the js world is tooling. but in terms of server things i.e consume json / transform json which is what informational based applications -- i.e the majority of the apps most of us work in. node.js is unmatched in terms of productivity

so yeah node.js gets you 80% of the results with 20% of the work.

No it doesn't. That is a ridiculous thing to say.

The people who received the cancellation have been paying on their loans for either 10, 20, or 25 years (depending on the degree type).
This tax applies only to Google. It doesn't apply to any other tech company, and it never will. The DMA at least provides more-or-less objective criteria for what constitutes a "gatekeeper", but this is literally a private deal between Canada and Google.

I don't have a problem with publishers getting a greater share of ad revenue, but there are better ways to do it. The govt could increase taxes on ad exchanges categorically (still effectively a tax on Google and Facebook) and give publishers tax breaks. That would have the same effect but be way more reasonable.
Cool cut them off.

Rollback higher-ed policy changes since the 70s. (h/t Gov Reagan, James Calhoun)

Restore govt subsidizes of higher ed, govt issues loans and financial aid, bankruptcy protections, etc.

I'd hope treating higher ed as a public hood, instead of business focused on wealth extraction and hoarding, would help address some of the other "greed is good" pathologies too. Grade inflation, credentialism, focus on STEM at expense of trades and liberal arts, anti labor strategies like reduction of tenture, etc.
The further responses from Vlad may be ill advised, and maybe he should've realized those emails were going to be unproductive, but they aren't combative.

The email Lori sends explicitly asking him to stop emailing is then followed up with some last-wordism "for the record" nonsense. Only on the extremely online internet do people consider someone the aggrieved party after they write a screed against a product or business, then close the conversation with representatives of that business with essentially a don't @ me and some last-wordism. It's terrible journalistic practice. It's a net negative in social and community engagement. I don't see why doing it over online spaces gives the author a pass here.
Vlad is justified to reach out and try to start a conversation but when the author says no, you drop it. That didn't happen here and it's a bad look.

AFAIK Node doesn't have hot reload.

Front end tooling like Vite does have it but with a Node server you're forced to restart the whole thing (usually with nodemon).
“General Sherman remarked, in conversation the other day, that the quickest way to compel the Indians to settle down to civilized life was to send ten regiments of soldiers to the plains, with orders to shoot buffaloes until they became too scarce to support the redskins.”

> What you gain is that the vulnerabilities will be harder to track down?

No, they're just as easily tracked.

What you gain is that you can refuse to install optional dependencies because they are now optional when they used to be required.

That's a fairly big deal.

Of course, in practice all those optional dependencies will be installed anyways because of other things in the distro needing them. You can fairly object that not much changed, at least for now.

A better approach would be to eliminate a lot of these dependencies somehow. Another approach would be to sandbox the dependencies that cannot be eliminated.
The problem is that Google walked back their integrations for anti-trust reasons, and Apple is now being sued by the US government for having too many apple only integrations.

Why is this done as a law rather than negotiated by the media outlets?
There is really very little upside to this service. If one wants a plain old wireguard VPN you should just use Mullvad. It's cheaper and has more geographic reach.

But using a VPN for privacy is a bad idea in the first place. At least Apple and Vivaldi get that and have moved to two party privacy designs.

But again that’s entirely because of agricultural and industrial use. There’s plenty of water for homes, there’s not plenty of water for homes and mass farming in a desert.

Almost makes it sound like if Horses alone were introduced, but no other white man colonization, that the Indians might have wiped out the buffalo also, if left to their own devices.

Wouldn't this be more in line with other megafauna extinctions? The only reason Indians didn't also wipe out this megafauna was a technology change, the addition of horses.
Thank you for this, Peter.

This simply isn’t true. The Native Americans’ sense of conservation and “living in perfect harmony” is some romantic fantasy.

There are many records of large pre-Columbian settlements exhausting resources (like game and trees) and abandoning entire areas.

There is nothing racist about it. They were humans. They consumed resources and grew their population as aggressively as their technology permitted.
thank you for this example.
Isn't that already just the role of tree-shaking optimizers? At that point the problem seems to be languages that don't have good tree-shakers, don't/can't tree-shake library dependencies, or maybe that tree-shaking should happen earlier and more often than it often does?

Observably, it seems like the "granularity pendulum" in the JS ecosystem very directly related to the module system. CommonJS was tough to tree-shake so you had sometimes wild levels of granularity where even individual functions might be their own package in the dependency graph. ESM is a lot easier to tree-shake and you start to see more of the libraries that once published dozens or hundreds of sub-packages start to repackage back to just one top-level package alongside ESM adoption.
To expand on this, Webb uses the Deep Space Network (DSN) to communicate with us. It can’t stream data back 24/7. There are generally three contacts per day each lasting a few hours, but I believe this is dependent on the scheduling of contacts with other missions that also use the DSN.

Also, the science data that is sent back is a stream of packets from all the data that was taken since the last contact. The packets are arranged for efficient transmission. One of the first steps of the science data processing is to sort the packets into exposures. Often packets for an exposure are split among multiple SSR (which stands for solid-state recorder) files. Sometimes there are duplicate packets between SSRs (data sent at the end of a contact is repeated at the beginning of the next contact). Only when the processing code determines that all expected packets are present—by using clues from other subsystems—can the next step (creating the uncalibrated FITS) begin.

If anyone is interested more details, the packet stuff is based on standards from the Consultative Committee for Space Data Standards (https://public.ccsds.org/Publications/BlueBooks.aspx).

Architects’ first commandment: always prioritize function over form.
Says every smart person before they end up in a situation they cannot respect their financial commitments...

Of course, it's easy for you just to take anyone that does out of the smart pool and put them in the dumb pool. The problem is this is in no way a predictive measure. With the rules you have henceforth set you will be unable to classify that a person is smart before any trouble occurs.

This is how the rules you setup look like

You: This person is smart because they put X money in savings and have a backup fund.

[nothing interesting happens to this person]

You: See they were smart...

----

You: This person is smart because they put X money in savings and have a backup fund.

[person gets crashed into and injured, then a poorly timed market crash eliminates 70% of their savings driving them into bankruptcy]

You: This person was obviously dumb...

See, the thing is you, and the vast majority of US on HN are far closer to that second person then we'd like to admin (well short of some of the multi-millionaires that post here). We can just make ourselves feel better by saying we're smart instead of lucky.
