If you are implying that we can go back to force inlining everything and only using small wrappers around memcpy then I will have to say that that ship has sailed years ago. I do not know anyone who wants to go back for more than brief moments while changed header causes cascade of rebuilds.

Now the elephant in the room of build times that no one wants to talk about is 'the optimized' build with PGO+LTO. I think none of the projects I worked that got used to it ever did a local pipeline to do it xD. But if you ask people if they want to ship a build without it the answer is clear 'no'.

I will totally understand if authors of the linked article also do not like to talk about it. What I am trying to do here is to clear confusion about importance of it. Pretending that IWYU is more than polishing of last 5% of build times helps almost no one. YMMV ofc.
Written in 2018 before Puppet was bought by Perforce - would be interesting to read a new update to see if any of Luke's ideas or practices managed to survive the buyout.
This has not been my experience (source: Worked for big companies for most of my career).

In my experience, the middle managers were more miserable than the peons. When I became a manager, I hated it.

Only the tippy-top managers really seemed to like their job, and they tended to use the company dime for most of their frou-frou.

That said, I very much enjoy not working for big companies, anymore.
Your suggestion wouldn’t work because nearly all student loans (over 90%) are issued by the federal government, which does not (and for political reasons, never will) evaluate credit risk.

That doesn't really change anything, unless they're intentionally trying to be obfuscatory to people outside the community.

Interesting for a Defence company to consider using an OSS project that's not in any way, as far as I know, tied to the US Government (or any other country).

What happens when a substantial amount of contributors come from China (which is common given how many developers are available in China)? Are they going to start restricting who can contribute? Or have strict vetoing of non-US nationals?
My go to for lightweight deployments is HuggingFace's Spaces, free 2-core CPU, anything else can go to either serverless container images on runpod or baseten.
I agree with a lot in this article. We should have limits on the size and scope of big companies to eliminate global business, which in turn is just about shipping the costs of doing business to poorer countries where that cost is not as large simply because the poor are easier to exploit (e.g. kicking sustenance farmers off their land, dumping electronic waste, etc.).

Global capitalism is devastating because it is about creating a world where the end result is everyone in subservience to a highly fragile infrastucture in return for immense short-term wealth for a few (big-tech employees are in this category).

The size of business should be limited and corporations should be destroyed!
As far as I can tell the core issue is that one of the larger corporate users of Nix is a US defence contractor called Anduril. Anduril were one of the sponsors of the 2024 NA NixCon, which is a official conference run by the NixOS foundation. The acceptance of this sponsorship has caused some conflict.

Pre-seed is variable, depending on the terms of the note, usually the investment is converted to a percentage of stock with some sort of discount at the series A.

I love my big company job, while still hating the company itself.
To give a charitable interpretation: by requiring the rank of PoWs to be respected, the Conventions helped to maintain social cohesion within camps. The privileges of rank are explicitly safeguarded, but those at the time would have implicitly understood that privileges are inseparable from duties. In many cases, the survival of PoWs hinged on the fact that they retained a strong sense of military discipline and order despite their circumstances.
Australian passports are 3 value, M,F,X (for other) as some people are born biologicaly intersex (there are a few hundred such in Australia) and in such cases either M or F are just wrong.

Australian birth certificates do a similar thing .. and Polish birth certificates and passports for those born oversees are supposed (see gov.pl site) to reproduce exactly what is on the foreign birth certificates and passports.

As the GP comment notes, supposedly invarient assumptions can bite programmers in the ass.

Libraries are amazing. I had so much fun browsing physical books in libraries. The internet unfortunately is causing the degradation of libraries. It's amazing that we have played that prisoner's dilemma situation, only to replace libraries with thousands of SEO articles with ads.

(It didn't have to be this way: if we only limited large corporations on the internet from the start and crippled Google and others, this would not have happened and we'd have a much better internet.)
> But life is path-depend­ent: each mis­take nar­rows the next round of choices. A big one, or just an early one, can fore­close all hope of the life you wanted.

“The life you wanted” is an odd notion that I think is responsible for a great deal of misery. Throughout human history, people had pretty much only one kind of life. Nearly everyone in a community didn’t same thing to survive so they could reproduce, and then they died. I feel like people would be a lot happier if they accepted that this is the human experience, not wanting and achieving a particular kind of life.
I imagine some of us reading this learned to program before bitnet was a thing. Punched cards. Paper tape. Booting by entering a lot of binary numbers with toggle switches. Good times. Oh, and that ancient Fortran code? It still works and, if you can see patterns in arithmetic-if blocks, it still expresses clever algorithms elegantly.

Ignoring the anti-Capitalism nonsense, there is one interesting observation: the dictatorship-like nature of most large corporations. I always thought that the top management tiers of large corporations almost invariably attract psychopaths and power-hungry individuals who would be oppressive leaders if they were instead in real-world dictatorships. And the middle tiers attract the kind of people who would be the typical mid-level "do nothing" bureaucrats in such systems.
Sure, but is that not on whoever posted it here? I mean, the original author is clearly entitled to make a post for the Nix community, right? It's not like every communication on the matter has to contain a history of events.

I should be clear: my original thoughts when reading it were exactly the same as yours.
I have a choice of three very-local pharmacies. I stuck with one, and now they know me (10+yrs) they'll give me a prescription, and get the note from the doc (electronically) shortly, after holidays etc. I'm just honest with the doc - and he's 400m from the pharm, so no shenanigans there.
Every time I see these I always think of my roll of punch tape that has "Lunar Lander" written on it that I can not possibly use as I have no access to a DEC.

Should the title read "earliest known Digital video game"? I keep reading it "the very first computer game ever", instead of "from DEC". Maybe I am wrong, is it the very first video game (before tennis for two, etc)?

Hey I'm Ankur,
For the past 3mo, I've been building offthreadr.

I realized that async-courses(non-cohort) based courses are also fairly synchronous, cos it'd have these long lessons/lectures extending for hours.

I thought with AI, I can convert the lessons into snippets and send it over the mail, making it like a newsletter. Cos I'm an avid reader of newsletters.
This helps us know what's coming, know the key-topics. This also helps avoid going to chat-with-course bot and asking it to summarize.

I'm planning to add more integrations like discord, whatsapp, etc.

I've created a few free courses compiling videos from youtube. Do check it out.
That’s a very good example: realistic, very concise, and shows clearly how the annotations and checks work.
An obvious question is whether this be used to build a nuclear analogue of a laser, using nuclear transitions instead of electron transitions. It turns out to have already been asked:

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/296237/nuclear-t...

In summary, the answer seems to be "maybe, but why?". The laser was originally called "a solution in search of a problem", which would suggest that "why" isn't really a reason not to.

Its not really a surprise that many commenters here seem to defend the relatively recent digital dependence. Kind of understandable, because most commenters here are working in tech, and obviously dont want to see problems like this. But this is asking the wolf how the sheep are supposed to be guarded... When I go to my pharmacy, the only reason why I need electricity there is to be able to pay with my watch. But that is a convenience. I always have cash in my pocket. Digital prescriptions are a very recent thing here where I live, basically since COVID. Before that, it was a simple piece of paper, and there was no validation that would require internet connectivity. But commenters here still seem to frame it as if the world would go down in flames if certain digital services were no longer available. Thats wrong, bordering on deliberately maniuplative. If a cyberattack can lead to a closed drug store, the problem is our reliance on digital, not the fact that the cyberattack happened.
Ask HN: Technical Solutions to Protecting IP
Hello HN,

Legal methods seem like the best way to protect IP from a business perspective, but it's a big step to take for a solo developer taking on their first new hire.

Do you have any recommendations on how to protect IP and code/data copying by an employee? I've seen solutions as heavyweight as VPNs + virtual desktops (VDIs like Citrix), but I'm wondering what a typical small startup security setup looks like.
It doesn't really matter if it's stable if the value used in the national id number is just seeded with the best option at the time it is assigned, though, and in that case it can still be convenient to use a value that for most people will be easy to remember. E.g. it's easier for me to remember the 5 digits on top of my birth date than to remember the full 11 digits of my Norwegian id number. That a small proportion of people have leading 6 digits that aren't a perfect match for their birth dates may be a minor nuisance for them but no more *as long as people don't assume the leading digits can be relied on.
It's a toy sorting algorithm and isn't meant for production use anyways as it isn't efficient and lacks predictability.

Remember that post about the $104K Netlify bill? They said they'd introduce means to avoid this, but as of now, I can't find any such feature. I've finished a transition to CF Pages last week, but I still hoped Netlify would follow up on that promise.
> Yet, there’s a flaw at the heart of this claim. While the United States operates as a free market economy, the key agent within modern capitalism - the corporation - works more like an authoritarian state

This isn't particularly true, but where it is, it isn't a flaw. This is as designed.

Where it's true: what capitalism wants to avoid is putting "money" in with "power" (i.e. "violence" and "rules") that the state has. Companies don't have violence and only have rules in a limited sense. E.g. a company can't lock you in a box for failing to give it some of your money. Only the state can do that. Having corporations limits the blast radius of what malicious/incompetent employees can do. In a capitalist system, with enough bad decisions, your company might go bankrupt. In a communist one, with enough bad decisions, 50 million people might starve to death[0].

Where it's not true: companies exist through free agreements between people. You might argue that they aren't free enough, although that gets vague fast, but you can't opt out of the state. That's the problem with authoritarian states. You can move job. Or, if you argue that people can't move job, the problem is so much harder for moving state that the point still stands.

Then she should've stopped at some point. But she didn't. She kept on making claims that she must have known were not truthful. At that point, at the latest, "didn't mean to" becomes a bit of a hollow word.

Some of the best jobs are in remote corners of large companies, in particular something that is very needed but nobody can or want to do, and thus people will leave you alone enjoying freedom and a big company paycheck. Like dealing with the legacy system that actually keeps the lights on while MBAs are drafting strategies to build one failed system after another.

Sometimes that cost isn't exploitation but just taking advantage of lower cost of living - like hiring offshore devs. This still has negative impacts such as reducing domestic employment and even driving down domestic income. For example (which sometimes includes exploitation), it's easier to buy brand new shoes manufactured in a third world country and shipped halfway around the world than to find a shoe repair shop where a rebuild costs less than the new pair. Now that art is comparatively dead domestically.
Ahhh thank you! I was wondering why the energy had to be so precise. That makes a ton of sense why it has to be so accurate. What makes this transition so low energy? The only other atomic excited state I have any knowledge of is the iron excited state used in Mossbauer spectroscopy. That transition is much higher energy. Also that one has some coupling to the electronic state of the nucleus. Does this Thorium transition have some special reason that it isn't coupled to the electronic state?
I find it satisfying to see a researcher called THORsten SchUMm devoting his research to THORiUM.
I bet they have fairly strict policies when it comes to vetting code. If you think about it would still have to have such policies in place to safeguard against malicious actors within the company.

Yeah that's why I generalized the dependency on any scheduler. We can use various properties and methods to achieve the same results.
I’m not sure I am following completely. Do you mean in the sense that you have a security hypothesis (e.g your service detects abnormal egress bandwidth use) and then you test and validate your assumptions? I don’t see why not.
I think you're right about the global warming thing, it would be a bigger factor than people would like admit.

But really I'm sure it's choice. Having a child is like having a pet now. You can either choose to have one or not. You don't need kids for survival and contraception is cheap and effective at preventing pregnancy.

What aged care will look like when most people are old is a different story, I guess they'll except my kids to wipe their ass but that's a deferred problem for young people with money and a bunch of entertainment and no incentive to have kids.
Fair - it's been free for a year though, so the pricing page was more just a test of what people thought
Reading the headline, I though, sounds like an opinion piece rather than, you know, a systematic review..

But, the article cites studies! Cool!

A survey. A survey combined with analysis of actual tasks (but, 'recorded' using a 'data extraction form', which sounds like self reported data?). Another study used "self-reflection". Another collects data through a daily survey(monley) and finally another based on self-reporting.

This is (a lot) better than nothing, but all of these rely on self reporting.

You may consider this view biased, but we have this: https://srid.ca/nixos-mod

* September 2023: The "Nix Community Survey 2023" is looking for gender data, and the mods don't like that most contributors are men.

* November 2023: The moderation team tries to institute a Code of Conduct https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/114 ... and they get their way

* November 2023: Some are not happy about it: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/moderation-team-accountability... -- the moderators talk about their "authority" and of course lock and hide the thread. It's "disruptive" and "off-topic", you see.

* This sort of activity continues -- moderators consolidating and increasing their power, citing how they need the power to control "concern trolls" and such -- and now in April 2024, we get https://save-nix-together.org/

The "anonymous contributors" want to drive out the NixOS founder entirely, so that _they_ are in charge. They want "to hold people accountable for bad behaviour at all levels" and lament having "responsibility without authority" - in other words, they want power, power, power. They want power over everyone. Their justification is that they believe they have the moral high ground, and they deserve to lord it over everyone else.

Hold onto that hard power, Eelco, and tell this lot to fork the project. Let's see how they enjoy moderating noxious.org instead of nixos.org
The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of the wing and the oncoming air (or relative wind). This is distinct from what the artificial horizon measures. The artificial horizon is concerned with the aircraft's orientation relative to the gravitational pull of the Earth, indicating whether the nose of the aircraft is above or below the horizon and how much the wings are tilted relative to the horizon.

Artificial horizon is not a reliable indicator of angle of attack.
Have you found that to be the case?

I'd say that generally speaking I have not. I've made it to a point in my career where I interact with the top management at Fortune 100 companies and I have not at all found them to be psychopathic or power-hungry. Actually generally the opposite: those traits seem to be selected against.

There are of course counter examples but I'd argue they're rare.

I'd say that you'll find the psychopaths and power-hungry individuals in the middle layer of companies with the "do nothing" bureaucrats at the bottom of the management hierarchy, often without any formal people management titles at all.
Well, the scheduler will process all tasks parallelly, but this too would have its limits. This technique has many pitfalls and is therefore not meant for any practical use.
