This is a deeply ignorant comment. Firstly people who emigrate make ties. Just leaving isn’t easy or often desirable. Secondly the valley overpays. It’s very hard to find jobs with equivalent salaries even in Europe. In India forget about it. On top of that there is SVs lackadaisical work culture and Americas in general. Elsewhere people work harder for less. The people who chose to emigrate are a self selecting driven group. I know because I did it. People who live and work in the country they were born to don’t understand the motivations and drive of the people who don’t.
Makes sense!

What's the current best virtualisation software on Windows in your opinion?

I tried searching online for this. And quickly realised that highly ranked sites targeting Windows users are quite low quality.
Worth noting: During a zfs resilver (as with any sort of RAID rebuild) your drives are continuously busy. So the vastly-longer CoW/SMR rebuild can be rather problematic on production systems.

Ask HN: If not containers, what then?
Containers are useful in packaging applications and running them in isolation from other programs. This seems to be the de-facto standard in the software industry. What are alternatives to containers that provide similar capabilities?

More philosophically, are containers a necessary component needed to run software at scale (such as replication and partitioning)? Or are they the result of the accidental complexity the modern OS has?

Those are culturally biased questions. You could as well ask about the incident which drew America into Vietnam, or if the US deliberately bombed China and Russia during the Korean War and as equally accuse a system of being dishonest.
I don’t think it does - it only says badly designed is a more stable state. You can roll a boulder uphill in very small steps, as long as you can also keep it from rolling back down (analogous with other devs in your team/new requirements to implement).
modern IT professionals usually take their "work" with them.

This only became really prevalent post covid in my experience. Pre-Covid, when coming into the office every day was the norm, a lot of people, at least at places I worked, left their laptops at the office over night.
is that so weird?

Aren't board meetings normally once a quarter? ChatGPT may have been built in less than 1 quarter and between board meetings

>it would be very strange for someone to argue that Israel is not attempting to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians

This line alone proves all my points on the topic. That you find it _unfathomable_ that Israel has goals other than the destruction of Palestine shows how one-sided your view on the subject is. There's nothing I can write in this forum that will change such a deeply warped perception, but I'll state for the record: no serious international observer believes that claim.
Ironically, that claim is usually made much more convincingly in the other direction -- that various regional factions have sought the utter destruction of Israel -- but even that is considered an extreme view (of the present) by most experts.

>I have looked at these arguments, listened to opposition to these arguments, and determined that Israel is indeed committing a genocide.

Good for you, but there is a lot more information than you alone have processed, and much more information about the current conflict is not available and will not be for some time. So by declaring your personal "determination", you are really just declaring an amateurish opinion via malapropism.

>What are you looking at that I'm not?

The frame of reference (as the other poster indicated) is post-WW2. That's when the current international order was established and also when globalization kicked into high gear. Since then, world trade integrated free market economies simply haven't started wars of conquest designed to change the ownership of territory.
Yes, there are wars of intervention, regime change, etc. which have almost exclusively been precipitated against regimes that are deeply hostile to and out of sync with the international order. I'm not saying those are all just, or harmless. But the scale of destruction caused by WW1&2-style total war / wars of conquest is incomparable to the expeditionary wars described above.
Bound the claim correctly and it's very simply true: free market states in the current order don't start the most devastating and costly kinds of conflict, whereas authoritarian states still do, to devastating effect.
Both kinds of states do other types of bad things, but that's a non-responsive non-sequitur to this particular point about the advantages of market steering vs. centralized steering.
> I wonder if the French are considering digging underneath all those obstacles?

The problem is the Seine phreatic zone, which starts usually between 15 to 25m below the surface. Some GRS galleries are actually completely inundated and others have a level of water that varies between the seasons.

In order to have some metro going underneath the Seine river, they had to freeze it first. It is not an easy task, so there must be a real advantage to going under the Seine.

Yeah I'm not really sure what's going on here. Sonar has been using ML classifiers for decades but afaik stream splitting with 100% confidence is currently considered magic. So what did they apply or what advance did they make? Afaict they threw some audio into a GPT blender without a closer look at what's being done.

Edit: I found the link to the paper. It isn't stream splitting so much as it is GPT-assisted beamforming estimation. Good stuff for sure.

Anecdotally..

- Working from home for long stretches.. feels more like "living at work" for me. Hybrid is good. Some boundaries in my life are healthy.

- Most people hate their commute. I ride my bike to work and it's the best bit of my day.

- I'm in a three person startup.. a ton of the software engineering and business problems I work on get hashed out talking over lunch and coffee—or in 2 minute hallway chats.

- I think there's something in it: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2011/04/28/lunch/

- It helps that my office environment is quiet and I get lots of uninterrupted time.

My main argument to support work-from-home is because I think building top-notch software is a strong-link problem.

https://www.experimental-history.com/p/science-is-a-strong-l...

A strong link problem is where "overall quality depends on how good the best stuff is".

In this environment you really want to attract and hang on to your top performers! So it makes sense to do what you need to do to keep them happy.

But also, in my experience, the best performing teams I've ever worked in.. we ate lunch together nearly every day.
Nothing. That’s just the money he needs to buy compute and staff in today’s market. He’s boasting about 100k GPUs. That’s 60k per unit including staff, power, racks, repair, upgrades, failures, development etc. It doesn’t even cover costs.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Mine was that USSR had blatant and obvious wealth disparity, and so "societies without wealth disparity end up poorly for everyone", as OP wrote, doesn't actually describe any existing society. Was said inequality less than in capitalist societies? Sure. But people were most certainly not equal in day to day quality of life, and in fact the more rabidly totalitarian that society was, the less actual equality it had.

And yes, there was one unique way in which Soviets actually had more stratification than pretty much any capitalist society: access to some things (like special stores with imported goods) was gated not on money, but solely on official position of oneself or a family member. Thus some stuff that was nominally well within the range of what the average worker could afford with some saving was in practice just not for sale to the proles, period. In that sense, it was more reminiscent of those feudal societies in which one's social class determined e.g. what color and material one could use for their clothing.
Coming from another angle, this might not be a "problem" when you consider the greater scheme of things.

Being able to obtain assets, when you don't have any is a relatively new thing, historically speaking. One could also say that we were living in a brave new world of opportunities and growth for a few centuries. And now we are returning to the historical norm. One thing that all the examples you listed is that they could be seen as "late game" economies.

I might be totally wrong, though. This is just another angle.
The NSA has contributed many things such as SELinux and more.
In short: SSO is a core security requirement for any company [customer] with more than five employees.

SaaS vendors appear not to have received this message, however. SSO is often only available as part of “Enterprise” pricing, which assumes either a huge number of users (minimum seat count) or is force-bundled with other “Enterprise” features which may have no value to the company using the software.

If companies claim to “take your security seriously”, then SSO should be available as a feature that is either:

- part of the core product, or

- an optional paid extra for a reasonable delta, or

- attached to a price tier, but with a reasonably small gap between the non-SSO tier and SSO tiers.

If all second home owners were forced to sell, that'd still only add 500k properties, and it would displace in other ways seeing as many of those are used as holiday lets. Given the Gov reckons 500k is the number of households needed to be built per year is 500k it'd be helpful but not a panacea.
My experience is exactly the same. I doubt everyone is simply pretending they have any idea what everyone else is saying, so it must be something wrong with me.

I’ve had my hearing tested. It’s within normal ranges across all frequencies tested. I have to assume it’s some kind of discrimination or processing difficulty in my brain.

I’ve noticed the same effect can be triggered even in a white environment by only two or three people trying to talk to me at the same time. I can’t understand anything any of them are saying and can’t listen to just one.
Tesla is still entirely supported by investors, government subsidies and hype. Nothing has changed. Without credits and customer subsidies they wouldn’t ever have made anything.
A lot of bachelor thesis from TUM are very very impressive. Back in the day when
Paul Emmerich[1] held his talks at the CCC about the user-space network drivers, I looked through a few of them and a good portion of them were "only" bachelor thesis'. I felt very bad when I compare them to my bachelor thesis. But on the other hand, I do have a friend now that is doing her masters at TUM and she says they sometimes have extreme difficulties getting their topics approved, because the TUM wants to stay "elite" and the students are under immense pressure. But hats off to the NVMe thesis. Well done!

Who said publicly? There is a lot of room between "discuss publicly" and "We were very careful, very deliberate about who we told, which was essentially almost no one in advance".

For example, a lot of the pressure that caused them to reverse course came from Microsoft. Maybe if the board had discussed such a big decision without OpenAI's biggest investor, Microsoft would've been on board with the firing.
People's second homes are generally in locations near tourist hotspots. That causes it's own problems but it's not usually prime economic centres.

Staying silent on Hacker News is not the same as staying silent altogether. There is an entire world and society with which to interact beyond this forum. Donate to causes. Talk to your senator. Protest in the streets.Get on Twitter or Mastodon and bump up real news from real activists.

>A more realistic interpretation is that we can’t be bothered to have this discussion.

Yes. Hacker News is a place for nerds to distract themselves, nothing more. Political discussion even with some technical dimension often amounts to little more than an excuse for intellectual exercise and sophistry, a chance for people to demonstrate their worldliness by lecturing on realpolitik or self-righteousness by denouncing the assumed immorality of their peers.

Most people here aren't experiencing genocide. For most people here it's just more content to be consumed and transformed into endorphines and internet points, no more real than the battle of Yavin from Star Wars. Once you understand that dynamic you'll realize there is no praxis to be found here, only catharsis, and catharsis can be poison.

I'm not telling you or anyone not to care, just to not waste their time shouting into the void here.

That's also happened in the UK at the same time, but it's actually very difficult to bring many of the UK's pre-1930s households up to the minimum level without gutting the property and having it vacant for a period.

I have to say that your comment reads like you are justifying unethical behavior from a major business figure. I mean, saying that a CEO who acts with no qualms re accountability "a saint" really begs the question: how does the boot taste like?
> Admittedly, when at the office I also needed noise-cancelling headphones - along with every single other programmer employed there because of the constant distraction of people talking, managers making personal phone calls, sales high-fiving each other, and so on.

I understand your hesitation in opening the code. Still, the idea seems really great, low complexity (quick local processing, no database of songs needed) and robust (any reasonable vinyl could work).

I suggest considering writing about it. Maybe a whitepaper? A publication? A patent application? May be colab with audio researchers? Or get sponsored from an audiophile record player manufacturer?
"Rate limit exceeded." It appears another software law has been violated.
`bend` is a convenience syntax that "just creates an in-place recursive function, immediately calls it with an initial state, and then assigns the end result to a local variable" ... "in a single statement, rather than needing to name a separate external auxilliary function that you'll only use once", according to the original author on Twitter:
https://x.com/VictorTaelin/status/1791964640533958924 and
https://x.com/VictorTaelin/status/1791996185449791932

But contrary to this, I think explicitly separating function declaration and function calling, in the following kind of syntax, would make it much clearer and less complected where the initial condition `tree = fork(0)` comes from. In the original example it came from `bend x = 0`, but here the function declaration is separate and the call more explicit: so it more obviously comes from `createTree(0)`:

type Tree
Branch { left, right }
Leaf { value }

def main():

createTree(x):
x < 3 ?
Tree.Branch { left: createTree(x+1), right: createTree(x+1) }
Tree.Leaf { value: 7 }

createTree(0)

Besides not needing a local variable `tree` here, the unique thing here is the elimination of the else-clause, to reduce unnecessary nesting, and a rule that the language just early returns the last result of any nested condition. If it doesn't go into any nested condition, then it just returns the last result in the main function body (like Ruby). Without any `return` keywords needed in either case. Wouldn't this be quite beautiful?
These are definitely not laws but consequences of bad engineering culture.

I’ve worked on well designed systems that stayed well designed. For example one I remember that was very solid: How? The team had enough support and autonomy from management to:

1) allow us to hire the right people (no secret sauce - just a mix of not too fast growth and a healthy mix of seniors and juniors)

2) not rush new features, and spend enough time on design and tech debt.

It probably helped that the system was a core e-commerce platform. If it descended into chaos it could have had a material negative impact on the top line.

When reading articles like this positing “laws” remember many people live in a bubble and may have only worked in dysfunctional orgs. There are tons of counterfactuals out there when the system and complexity was critical to the business. (And also tons of examples where despite that it still descended into chaos- but that isn’t a law)

While board meetings normally are relatively sparse, most of board work happens between these meetings (where you effectively perform any voting rituals required to formally approve the decisions the board members made beforehand) and it is very common practice for executives to continuously keep board in the loop - arguably doing this well is one of the primary duties of a CEO.

yes, the largest possible charge on the slowest possible charger is not fast. That's why a higher capacity "level 2" charger at home is recommended.

The upside is that you don't have to attend this home charging. It's usually done overnight while the car owner sleeps. So the vehicle has "a full tank of gas" automatically, every morning.
Can you give an example of such a law?
While being the major individual ethnic group, it is enough to make the kanaks a a minority against the population that migrated to the island while under France governance (and thus more likely to be at least for the status quo).

It is said that a majority of the kanaks are pro independence.

Let's be clear, I am pretty sure that the kanaks would lose a lot by being independent and not able to rely on french aid, and would probably lose even better if their natural resources attract others but ...

... I also think that since Napoleon III annexed it as an oversea territory of France Kanaks never had the chance to decide for themselves and have been prejudiced. Their lands taken over, being subject to abuse, not being given the same chances overall as caldos.

I believe this should still be their choice, even if it means a worse life for them afterwards.

Had the colons treated them better for a start, there would be less pro independence among the kanaks so it is really on France's side to make amend and on caldos to stop acting like victims when for the most part they are collectively the offenders (the important word is 'collectively' here).
Thanks for the pointer. This does indeed look pretty good. Do you happen to know if they're using any APIs underneath the covers? Or are they fully self-contained?
The press is the press and my opinions are my own. The press can be right or wrong about Altman and that doesn’t affect my opinions.
