The insurance scam in this country sets a worldwide standard for fleecing the stupid. Or, more accurately, fleecing everyone by taking advantage of the stupid.

The failure to divorce your health insurance from your job is what created the mess we have today. It arose from wage caps during WWII, and instead of fixing the defective legislation at the time... Congress just let it fester until it became the life-ruining disgrace that Americans live with daily.

With the strident support of fools who believe that they're getting "free" insurance from their employers... and anything else insurance companies tell them, legislators, lobbyists, drug companies, big corporations all line up against affordable health insurance. Big corporations get workers chained to dead-end jobs by their insurance. Insurance companies and big pharma get windfall profits because the real costs to consumers are buried behind "free" insurance that is profoundly not free.

And nobody in government or politics has the balls to call this out. Subsidizing this rip-off is, in some ways, even worse. Just like subsidizing the obscene rip-off that college has become.
I lived in a 3x2.5 meter room one time. There are obvious drawbacks but it had a surprising amount of advantages too. Using all available space leaves very little air to heat. Where would you get oxygen in a normal house? It's not like my heater can keep up if I open the windows.
Yeah, my 'NAS' is going to be a small N100 or 5700U PC, or something along these lines. Have you had any luck running NixOS or Guix on a VPS?

Sears, at the top of its game, built a tower.

It isn't called Sears Tower any more.

In a moment of decline sears sold it. Because it was a liability, not to the company but to the stock price. Sears Tower was going to be bought at the bargain basement price of sears stock.

Hell all of the robber barons of the 80's (the gordon gekos) were doing the same thing. We're still doing it now with private equity. Only now there's nothing to sell so we're stacking debt on the companies.

You could have an anti capitalism rant here. It would not be productive. Stronger regulation, and different corporate structures are needed (See Mondragon). The latter is on everyone, myself included, CoOps aren't new in America. (See everything between the coast's that involves farming intersecting with CoOps.) We just need more of them in urban areas.
I'm surprised people don't talk more about sentiment analysis -- or is that mostly solved?

Successful space travel and rocket science being a contemporary of war and violence is only strange if you find toys to be fascinating objects. And didn't a human land on the Moon because of a cold war between two superpowers?

What's strange is acknowledgement of the possibility of scarce resources necessitating conflict is considered invalid criticism that needs to be silenced or given negative reviews by the majority opinion. But that's not really surprising when things like ascetic religion were created as a reaction to what is popularly called criminal or antisocial mental models of the world.

I completely agree.

I did a disaster recovery test of my services (all on docker) from scratch and without documentation.

I started by downloading the Debian ISO and went from there.

It took me about 60 minutes to be up and running, this includes DHCP from pihole and getting everything from borg backups.

I took notes to be faster/better next time but I lost them somehow :-|

Docker everything and you will be fine.

I used docker compose for years and recently moved to portainer because it is easier to keep track of the docker compose files and you have a lot of things readily available
> Qualcomm doesn't,

Snapdragon X Elite is supposed to be very competitive (and possibly or par with Apple's chips) of course we'll see.

> The phone market is so big

Perhaps, but I don't see how this changed anything. Most chips are low cost, low margin and ARM is barely getting anything from then anyway. IIRC ARM is the only company that has competitive mobile cores besides Apple and they can't come even remotely close to Intel's R&D budget.
I had followed him for years and recently stopped (and even blocked) because he’s become a prolific engagement farmer. Given how pointed his takes have become, there is little chance he’s changed in so little time to become this opinionated. I doubt he believes much of what he writes about. When all you do is sell courses, no publicity is bad publicity. It’s all a numbers game and he knows it.
In practice, those "undefined flags" are set consistently. In Pernosco we move rr recordings across architectures quite often and those flags have never been a problem.
Assuming the code is complete enough to be compiled, I would guess that it has no problem reading any content assets from the commercial version (even if they are packed into custom packaging files) with the major concern being versioning related (maybe the most recent source code branch references to various assets might not match up exactly with what is on disc for a specific retail build).

But also it isn't that uncommon at game studios for assets to be checked in alongside the code, so I wouldn't be shocked if these source code dumps and the associated sizes being reported also include the assets.

> But none of those are simple key=value formats either.

What is the difference between:

{ object: { name: value }}
{ object: "{ name: value }"}
object="name=value"

There's zero difference between any of them except how you parse and process the data.

> kubectl. Which to be fair defaults to output to a table-like format.

With line-based shell-variable output you have a line of variables and you have blocks of lines separated by an empty line (like an HTTP 1 header).

This can easily map to any table, two dimensions, or two levels of data structure without even quoting subvariables like in the example above. So, no, kubectl is not an example at least not how you've described it.
With the rise of WFH, I wonder if there could be a model (with some kind of trusted computing angle to prevent physical tampering) where you host your servers at employee locations/homes in a very distributed manner. Probably wouldn't fly with things like SOC2, but it's probably cheaper to pay/reimburse employees than pay for rack and network, especially with a small footprint.
I think it used to be this way but isn't anymore, though I don't have a smartphone to check quickly.

This script is explicitly a Bash script and it is not executable by every other shell present on modern unix-like systems. Examples are Korn shell, Almquist shell. Hence the distinction: if one states that the script is a shell-script, it implies that it can be interpreted by any modern shell, for which there is only one common denominator, POSIX. This script is explicitly only Bash shell compatible, not any-shell compatible.
This is quite interesting, thanks for recommendation, I'll investigate this. Are you aware of any edge cases or inconveniences of this approach I can keep in mind while experimenting?
> the question here is more whether or not there can be brute facts

That depends on what you mean by "brute fact". Can you give me an example of one?

> there are areas of discussion where it's philosophy rather than science that has to be our instrument for adjudicating disputes

And I dispute that, and I believe I can support my position by refuting that very claim with science. If it is true that there exist "areas of discussion where it's philosophy rather than science that has to be our instrument for adjudicating disputes" then you should be able to give an example of such an area of discussion, and I predict that you can't.

BTW, I would like nothing better than for you to actually prove me wrong about this. But I've thought about this for a very long time and posed this challenge to a lot of people. If you succeed, you will be the first.
If btc was successful it would always be measured relative to the dollar.

The laggy UI is what irritates me the most. I do not have a smart TV, though I do have a cable box, and there is no excuse for an interface to lag in [current year], or even for anything in the past 20 years, which serves to merely display a list of program listings. It's frigging text! Built-in vehicle interfaces are also perennial offenders.
I wonder if that's less efficient though because now every employee has to manage a server, rather than having a small dedicated team that can manage hundreds or thousands of servers.

The OS itself depends on many libs ;-)

The only things that are a bit heavy in the list are openssl and curl. Still, they are relatively self-contained tools, nothing to do with the dependency hell of certbot.
If your feeding DC from PV to a motor without an inverter, it will be a DC.

If you hook a brushless motor straight to PV panels, the speed the motor runs at vary throughout the day as the volatage output of the panels waxes and wanes. You'll need to make sure that it the motor has sufficient cooling to not damage itself when running at full power on the hottest sunniest day.

Generally, almost every type of PV or DC electric motor setup has a one or more systems that manage volatage, either in the form of a charge controller the outputs a constant(ish) voltage given the varying input voltages provided by the PV, or an ESC that outputs varying voltages to the motor to change it's rate of speed.
Ask HN: What kind of secrets do you entrust to the gnome-keyring?
I'd like to know how you use gnome-keyring. From their Security Philosophy [1], Basics of Storing Secrets [2] and Security FAQ [3] wiki pages, I understand that the keyring helps against passive attacks (i.e. the attacker does not have access to an active user session). However, if the attack can execute code in the same user session where the keyring is unlocked, they have access to all secrets in the keyring.

There is also the consideration of having no password on the login keyring (e.g. for convenience when using a fingerprint for login) and using full disk encryption.

The Security Philosophy page makes a point about avoiding security theater, so I appreciate the clear communication about the limitations.

However the possibility of any process running in my user session reading any secret in the keyring makes me a bit paranoid and looks like the weakest link in my security setup.

So I'm interested in your considerations when using gnome keyring. Also, if you're an applications developer, do you use gnome keyring or are there better ways of storing secrets?

If the global free market doesn't want to spend capital in space stuff, then space is probably not worth it. Capitalism is an effective filter for economics and resource allocation. Soviet Union styled failed management occurs otherwise.
> the chance of anyone actually hitting the bad data seems quite small (as in, lottery jackpot winning small).

I saw it on a small cycling site that uses OSM's tiles. I was surprised and checked OSM's site for this French back-country and a few random places, and the offensive messages were still there.

Even if the vandalism was purged after a few (dozens of) minutes, I suppose there were more witnesses across this short period than winners of lottery jackpots across this century.

> Why aren’t phones forced to operate like traditional operating systems?

They are operating like traditional operating systems, namely like game consoles where paying royalties to OS makers for distributing software has been a thing since the Atari/Activision settlement in 1980.
Awful UX relative to the Appstore? How so?
This is really scary. Everything we do gravitates to a practically single point of failure in way too many areas of life. At some point single small scale unfortunate event, evil entity / person and what not might bring countries to a point of collapse. And our "servants" do not seem to give a flying fuck about it. Well they might have secured place in hideouts of the world's Zuckerbergs.

It is just an encapsulation, not the CPU, DIP40 IIRC.
On the project I'm currently working on, we use filters to disable syncing groups of art assets we don't need, so a checkout for an engineer is usually quite reasonable. Probably also around 400GB though it includes the engine. With all filters disabled I'd end up downloading multiple terabytes of stuff for the main branch.
You are aware that nearly all computer users never use the terminal at all, right? Why would they want anything other than a gui?

Perhaps.
Honestly even reading his prior blog post and this together, his own outline of his position made me feel there was more to it. Like the way I read it, they had a process of open contribution, and then they closed it down, partly at the author's suggestion, and then those contributors who felt the process was too onerous because of pushback against perceived euro-centrism of their contributions went and made their own projects.... which were more succesful for Europe and North America.
Had a Palm III then a Clié back then. The Jog Dial was absolutely awesome.

Great story. Surprised that he had experience with C, but wanted to rewrite their product in assembly instead. The timeline given was understandably not very precise, but C and even Pascal compilers should have been starting to be available around this time.

I guess it depends on your definition of lobbyist. But why shouldn't they be allowed? And why would any democratic country disallow it? Disallowing lobbyists doesn't seem very democratic to me.
one of reasons i switched from win11 is that it was eating 100% of my cpu robustly.
Agreed (including the old PC).

The only thing I do not upgrade automatically is Home Assistant (major tag, the minors are). I had one failed update and it created tension say home when lights stopped to work, people stuck in fridges, aliens landing and whatnot. It fid not help I was 1500 km away.

Good musicians know they're good though. I'm not sure the comparison holds that well for software people. With music you have a lot more immediate feedback. You can record yourself and play back. You can see how long it takes you to learn something technically complex (if you even can learn something very technical). With software sometimes the outcome of decisions can only be seen years later and there's really very little in terms of absolute metrics you can rely on for feedback. Music is a hobby for me but in my circle I haven't seen people that thought they were amazing musicians but really are terrible.
Yattee is a good example for what Apple puts those developers through. Here is a direct quote from their website:

> Apple keeps rejecting macOS version of Yattee for several unrelated and random reasons. As I believe the App Store approval process is random and getting approval depends mostly on whether the reviewer has had a nice day, I keep resubmitting macOS versions with every update so maybe we will get lucky one day.

What are the odds, this random example points to only a couple km away from my home.

I had never seen OSM for the area, the detail around Maxis is astounding. And the busway is quite relevant to understand traffic around the area.
> there is much more noise than signal in financial data.

Spot on. Very few can consistently find small signals and match that with huge amounts of capital and be successful for a long period. Of course Renaissance Technology comes to mind.

What's more stupid is that I can't install my app to my phone. Because it's supposedly not secure according to Apple.

Even more stupid is that if I pay the annual developer fee to Apple, they let me install it.

Just have a fleet of NUC like things (that have ECC RAM ones) that you ship around if they break. You could have them boot from network/CDN and never worry about imaging, too.

With 1Gb+ residential internet speeds, you could probably build a fairly robust and scalable platform like this.
An apostrophe instead of ъ was sometimes artifact of using an old typewriter (1920th). One hero of literature wondered why all the words are written with ъ (where appropriate), but об'явление (an advertisement on a bulletin board in this context) was invariably written with an apostrophe. Well, many advertisements on boards was typewritten, and even handwritten advertisement started to follow this spelling, and even when typewriter was produced with ъ, this spelling persisted in this context.

But it may be an urban legend.

Upd: sometime this "legend" says that after the spelling reform of 1918 the ъ at the end of words was banned, this letter was forced to be removed from typewriter as well (though it may be used in a middle of words). The article on this reform in Russian Wikipedia mentions, that for the same reason ъ was seized from typographies to restrict its usage. In both cases an apostrophe was used instead. It seems these facts are consistent with each other and this particular usage of the apostrophe.

Related, in 2001 or earlier, Lytha Ayth somehow converted the HTML edition of SICP to GNU TeXinfo.

So that it could be used by students on modest computers that couldn't manage a Web browser and running Scheme at the same time:

https://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-texi/

As part of this, they redrew the figures in SICP as ASCII art (not as something like TeX figures), which I guess made sense for those requirements. Though today I like the idea of using proper markup for figures.
Please, don't move the goalposts, I was comparing unions' power not workers' rights, tow deferent things.

Just look how useless the IT union in Austria was with it's salary increases below inflation. You know what would have helped with their negotiations? The right to strike and let IT infra fall apart for a day, but oh wait, they're not allowed to by law. Unions in the US are a lot more confrontational than in Austria.

But since you opened that can of worms, some companies in Austria will fire you on the spot if you talk about starting a company union(Betreibsrat) because in Austria you have no workers protection against being fired for no reason, even while you're on sick leave.

Even colleagues from the US were shocked on how easy it is for them to get fired here when back home they could have sued for unfair dismissal, but here they were told they have no grounds because the employer can terminate you any time for any reason. Another mate, got sued by his employer since the IT infra he was in charge of crashed while he was sick in hospital and the employer could find him liable for the damages by Austrian labor law. In Austria, not the US. And let's not talk about the infamous 'all-in' contracts some companies use to get you to work unpaid overtime.

Now tell me more about these amazing workers' rights in Austria.
