It's one of my great regrets that I didn't get into YC in 2007. There was no Dropbox yet, but we were building essentially the same thing except integrated into Windows rather than on the web, with an office collaboration focus. (Doing it on the web was such a better idea!) I vividly remember droning on at Jessica through a dry demo because I thought the team that showed the most features in the least time would win.

We ended up with a modest exit - life changing but not stop-working-life-changing. There was so much startup wisdom that we didn't know, that has now become Obvious and Trivial, that I think we would have learned. We made every mistake YCombinator warns against, and I like to think we wouldn't have if we had only been told. Would have been well worth the (IIRC) $14k they were offering at the time.

Now with kids and so on the residency requirement makes it tough. But even in my dotage as I am, with 5 startups in my past, I think it would be worth it.
> If you're still distributing snaps as the preferred method of install, you're alienating your users.

Dropped lxd because of it. Now I hear they're a proper debian package, but that decision was so weird (especially the auto-update part) I don't trust them anymore.
> Wouldn't this bash script be just as susceptible to supply chain attacks? What dependencies does openssl, cURL, sed, grep, awk, mktemp pull in, and could it be vulnerable to attack like we saw with xz?

All the packages listed are already probably installed on your system, so you have to worry about their integrity already (your system package manager (RPM, Deb) probably leverages them).

Something like Certbot pulls in dependencies on top of what your system already has, whereas Dehydrated or Acme.sh use tools that you already have to worry about anyway because they're part of the base OS.
U-M finds students with alphabetically lower-ranked names receive lower grades
Since this phenomenon is taking place at basically every part of the globe either capitalism is so all consuming that escape is not possible or it is a universal human phenomenon.

Again, the same people blaming capitalism for too much phone use have in the past blamed capitalism for disadvantaging the poor by gatekeeping access to technology. The whole critique is incoherent and unhelpful.
Instead of trying to find actual solutions the blame is put on a vague concept. So vague that is can cause anything, too much phones, too little phones and anything else you can imagine. It is just a very lazy thought process.

The truth is that markets will always exist and that humans will always seek pleasure in unheayways, phones are just one instance, but so are drugs, online gambling, prostitution, etc.
If you blame capitalism you can't solve anything, because the change required to change anything would be so great as to guarantee it will never happen.

The draft multipath extension is here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-multipath/

I actually don't think the environmental problems we face will be solved until collectively we remove the burden of the everyday person to actually contribute. UBI.

Until then it's a cycle of, extract resources, hoard capital, and minimize everyday people- so that the first two steps can continue without anyone at the top feeling uncomfortable. Well, I believe it will become VERY uncomfortable if this continues.

Sorry, I was trying to point out the difference in what I’m after regarding the comment above re: “counter-culture.” That is, of course, I am interested in interacting with others and improving the world. I just mean that in the first instance, I believe that I need to optimize my own life before I can offer any insight on how to improve the world. If, and, regarding not generally raging against the machine, I mean, I don’t want to be countercultural for the sake of doing so with no other objective in mind.

And great advice on the comment regarding the question. One problem I have, living among Brits, is that I’m extremely literal and these word games tend to not jive well with me as a person that says what I mean.
Markets measure exchange value, not intrinsic value.
Generally, I agree, but the word "forced" is a tricky one; because there are a string of consequences for making different choices. Which is generally a good thing.

What you are doing is treating some of those consequences as "force" and others as not.

For example, if you need money to pay your property tax, you need to earn that money somehow. Or face the consequence of losing your home. No one is forcing you to stay in that home, leave, but that's pretty brutal thing to not call "forced." But you can see paying property tax is optional as long as you accept the consequences.
A relative used IF to lose around 80lb, back to a normal weight. She was pre-diabetic, now is diabetic. Her experience was, if she woke up and ate, she would eat all day. But if she ignored her hunger pains until 1 or 2 in the afternoon, she ate a lot less. It got to the point where she was not even that hungry in the afternoon and ate only because she knew she had to eat.

I have never been overweight, so it's hard for me to say, but it seems like eating on a fixed schedule helps develop some discipline over hunger pains that overweight people may not have, or at least not much.

I used this years ago to implement SSL for a bunch of customer vanity domains, and as far as I know it's still operating.

The best thing is it's declarative: you provide a text file with domains you want in each certificate, and it makes it happen.

Certbot has discrete commands you have to run to add, remove, or modify certificates, so you have to keep track of state. We had a management UI to control these domains, so it didn't work well with something like terraform (which I think otherwise solves the state problem for certbot). Instead we just wrote out the domain file based on db config changing + daily, and ran dehydrated. If there were no certificate changes or renewals needed, nothing would happen.

Also the hooks are great, iirc we had a pre-check in place for our own http-01 validation, so as not to cause failures on let's encrypt. (Mostly customers would cname domains to us, but lots could go wrong). We were also using s3 to store the validation files (again, super easy with bash hooks) to make it work across a pool of load balancers.

This is a great example of a tool where a focus on simplicity (config, hooks, and the way it stores everything) creates an incredibly easy to use, flexible (and thus powerful) system.
I have this project[1] that you can run from a GitHub code space, drop a some markdown files in, and push to GitHub pages. Basically trying to be as low code or no code as possible for a blog replacement.

Feedback from non-technical users is markdown is still annoying. Could quill be used in to edit as a wisywig with the output being markdown? That way the user could start the dev server and edit from there without having to touch the vscode file explorer.

The only thing keeping me on an iPhone is that mine hasn’t broken yet and I dislike waste. I got my current phone from a relative that was going to throw it away.

I find the hairs to be the least realistic, they look elastic, which is unsurprising: highly detailed things like hairs are hard to simulate with good fidelity.
I'd imagine DC-DC conversion to be a bigger pain. Inc comparison is AC-AC is very easy, while you can use switched supplies and what not it can be noisy in an EMF/RF context. And low voltage DC (even something as "high" as 24V) can have massive sag/voltage drop off over 10-20m of wiring, similar to what the other commenter mentioned.

(Technically I'm sure using for eg motors, DC-DC could be done with minimal EMF noise, but you might end up with audible noise and efficiency losses.)
Ah, okay! So all three were pretty comparable at this task?
Keccak (and other ciphers only using bit rotation and bitwise ops) can use bit interleaving to avoid slow 64-bit rotations on 32-bit hardware, by replacing 1 64-bit rotation by 2 independent 32-bit rotations on the interleaved words [1, §2.1].

Is this also at 120V or 220V DC? Is it due to how the alternating current allows muscles to release? (Or was that just a myth?)

They also have a different relationship to eating animals than people who think meat comes on a plastic tray wrapped in shrinkwrap. From what I've seen, the attitude is more mindful of the animal you raised and interacted with. You don't want to waste any part of their sacrifice in becoming food for you.

I take it a step further and say that if you're going to eat animals, make the best possible, best-tasting meal out of them.

It's fascinating that people would prefer some science (like the correlation of PCOS and same sex attraction in women) to remain uncovered.

The reason for an alt account is because I figured regardless of what I said, I'd end up interacting with an ideologue who took what was a very innocent observation about a medical study and tried to make it out into another American culture war debate. Seriously, where did the FOX reference come from? Plenty of us here aren't American and find it tedious when Americans online try to pull us into their sphere of regressive politics.

I think people should be happy when science is done which allows them to understand their bodies better. Preferring that the information be wiped from the internet is an immature and low trust perspective.
Yes, they are and they also know it isn't foolproof so that isn't the only information being compared against. Some services compare the calling number is compared against live activity on the PSTN (ie, subscriber's phone is not in an active call, but their number is being presented as as the caller ID is one such metric). Many of these deep fake generators with public access have watermarks in the audio. The audio stream comparison continues, it needs to speak like you, word and phrase choices. There are other fingerprints of generated audio that you can't hear, but are still obvious at the moment. With security, it always cat and mouse with fraudsters on one hand and the effort/frustration with customers on the other.

Asking customers questions that they don't remember and that fraudsters have in front of them isn't working and the time it takes for agents to authenticate is very expensive.

While there is no doubt that companies will screw up with security, you are making wild accusations without reference to any evidence.

I think I'm generally on board with the notion that trying is better than giving up, and maybe thinking about green energy is a stepping stone towards discussing modernity and the role it plays in ecosphere destruction. At the same time, all of the current topics with widespread reach in that area frame it from a perspective of getting to do the same things we get to do today. Even your answer does so "Being able to travel around and enjoy the wonders of planet and cultures is immensely enriching." yes flying and traveling thousands of kilometers in a high-speed fashion are astonishing achievements. But they are also astonishingly destructive for all the other life on this planet.

Also did we experience the same COVID-19 crisis? The one where the UN held a vote to see if this constituted a global crisis, one which would allow waving international IP laws for vaccines. And voted NO this is not a crisis. In my experience when faced with harsh situations, people tend to look inward, towards a smaller circle. Are less compassionate and less willing to share. Maybe I'm a cynic, but I don't see the world destruction initiated and primarily caused by the global north going to bring the best out in us. I'm predicting wars, fascism and closed borders. I don't want that to happen, but for me there is overwhelming evidence that points in that direction.

This seems reasonable given that they have improved reliability, redundancy and backups.

I dont see how this is reasonable, especially when CPU , RAM and SSD is anywhere between 10 to even 100,000x faster while being cheaper as well. Bandwidth cost has also dropped by 95% or 20x.

At the time any of those myths would have originated, nobody really had any concept of a "global" anything. If the local river flooded, that was your _entire world_. Lots of local flood stories, then once the bronze age got going and trade routes and cities and writing, they started getting coalesced into more regional myths.

It's true relativity was problematic for Kant's project (particularly re: his thought about Euclidean geometry), and you're right to point to this as an example of science informing philosophical thought.

My understanding is that post-relativity, Neokantians have been trying to reconcile Kant's thought with the implications of relativity. Philosophy as a discipline is, as I understand it, happy to work with new scientific discoveries, and not going to stick with philosophical dogma in the face of contradicting science. Besides, beyond a certain level, doesn't science have to give way to philosophy? I don't see holding certain philosophical assumptions (not really assumptions, but intuitions or propositions argued from intuitions) as a necessarily bad thing or even an avoidable thing, as long as it's open to both philosophical and scientific criticism, where applicable.
Show HN: To beat my impostor syndrome (and learn Bash), I read the RBENV GH repo
What's the first thing that happens when you type `bundle install` into the terminal and hit "Enter"?

Professionally, I work on a large Rails codebase with many contributors, and `bundle install` is one of the most common commands we find ourselves typing. I was frustrated that I didn't know how this command worked under-the-hood. Since I'm a big believer that "The best way to learn something is to explain it to someone else", I decided to blog about what I was learning, as I learned it.

Because I use RBENV to manage my Ruby version, the first file I encountered on this deep-dive was RBENV's shim for the `bundle` command, which is written in Bash. From there, I moved on to the files for the various commands that RBENV's API exposes, and things kind of snowballed from there.

Through consistent daily practice, eventually I worked my way through the entire RBENV codebase. I learned things like:

-What a shebang is

-What the `$PATH` variable is, and how it's used

-How to read and modify UNIX's file permissions

-What POSIX is

-How to use parameter expansion to succinctly modify variable values

-How to use command substitution to store the output of a command in a variable

-What shell options are, and how to set them with the `set` command

-How to use `export` to turn a shell variable into an environment variable, and what the difference is

-The difference between `exec` and forking, and when to use each one

-What a process is

Learning Bash was a great result from this process, but the biggest benefit was the slow transformation from thinking "Maybe a 10x engineer could understand this code, but not me" to "Oh, that's all this code does?" My hope is that other people who similarly suffer from impostor syndrome will be inspired to repeat this process with a codebase that is relevant to them. I'm now looking forward to repeating this process on other seemingly intractable codebases, and growing my circle of competency even further.
See Tim Bray’s example; the LLM very much did not mostly work once it was talking about something that he knew about; most of what it said was nonsense.

I suspect a _huge_ driver of the hype is that people are not usually experts on the things that they ask these about, so they see a magical oracle rather than a nonsense generator.
I think Fox News is just more honest about their bias than most; its certainly not true that CBC, CNN, etc. are unbiased lol. There is a distinct bias in wikipedia that is unavoidable if you happen to disagree with the NYT on a controversial social issue.

> So this is an IDE-mandatory language which does not come with an IDE?

Nope. AFAIK the autofixing is actually implemented by `zig fmt`. The IDE integration just makes that feature available as "VSCode Formatter".

> So the error has become a non issue by completely undermining it? That seems like the opposite of a good idea.

Nope. The important part is that the autofix works in both directions. E.g. if an unused-fix was added before, it will be removed as soon as the variable is used. This makes the development workflow painless, but at the same time the code cannot become littered with redundant unused-fixes. It's also trivial to search for the "_ =" discard pattern to find any leftover discards (in a 'final' codebase there shouldn't be any of those).

> A linter or an IDE "error" is equivalent to a compiler warning: they don't prevent compiling and running the code.

Nope, in our case it's an actual hard compile error. You can't "npm build" or even git-commit a project that has unused variables (which are not explicitly discarded).

> You don't need to simulate reality, you only need to simulate the minds that perceive reality. Thus cuts computational costs by many orders of magnitude over a reality simulation.

Ehhhhh... let's think about it.

First, that does not eliminate the speed bottleneck, which is determined by what you do decide to simulate accurately. It is... unclear whether human minds can be simulated efficiently. I would not be surprised if the best accurate simulated brain we can muster is ten times slower and ten times bigger than a real one. Or worse.

Second, surely you need to simulate more than minds. You need some kind of environment to put them in. But if you're giving them some pale ersatz of reality in which they cannot develop effective technology, because stuff stops working when they stop looking at it, I'd argue you're wasting them. Minds act very differently depending on their capabilities --- simulating minds without simulating reality is a bit like studying the behavior of birds with clipped wings.

> just eliminating the dependency on quantum mechanics is huge.

What makes you think it can be eliminated? I'm not saying minds require quantum mechanics in principle, but evolution doesn't try to make its designs robust to changes in the laws of physics. There's a sizable chance that simulation of a human brain fails if you ignore quantum effects, simply because that violates its calibration. You would therefore need to reimplement minds from first principles, but that's a whole other problem.

> And climate models could diverge from reality 100 or 200 years later too, we still run those because reasonably accurate short to medium term information is better than none.

These models run far, far, far faster than real time. You can't forecast a phenomenon using a simulation that's slower than the phenomenon itself.
