When these user hostile windows threads popup regularly I'm genuinely baffled how people can complain and so thoroughly document workarounds instead of just using Linux. Work machines are a different story, but you control your life at home. What do you want? Choose.

I run k8s "in my house", which is probably different than what you had in mind, but it might still be useful for others.

I use ESXi and run a separate master node and a separate worker node. There's around ~12 services running in the worker node, mostly things related to media. I maintain a workbook for how I bring up a new node and how I upgrade the cluster, which are the normal operations I've had to do in the past. For example, in the past I had too little storage allocated to the worker node and it was easier to bring up a new one than to edit the existing one.

I use dynamic volumes that use NFS on my NAS for any data that needs to be persisted across pod restarts. This works surprisingly well. I use nfs-client-provisioner with helm.

I also use a combination of MetalLB, an nginx ingress controller, and a BIND service so I can point the DNS on my laptop to the BIND server and I can access all my services using DNS instead of IPs.

I thought it was so sad that they shut down the computer museum in Boston years ago. It makes me think of how much more geographically diverse the computer industry was in the US back in the 1980s and how Boston has just given up on its history. It used to be associated with the Boston Children's Museum which had a DEC-10 way back in the early 1980s. They were pretty lucky because DEC would usually donate PDP-8s or PDP-11s to places like that.
After watching this video on my own I got the urge to watch more similar videos. Does anyone know of any that are like this one, not really a tutorial, but also not just a dev log either. It feels closer to something like wood working videos where you just watch someone do something cool.

Nobody ever charged Assange with releasing secrets which led to to the death of any operative.

And if he did, it would make perfect sense to charge him with that.

Sure, they implied it might possibly maybe have happened and some suckers believed it. Why wouldn't they? They hated his guts because he exposed a war crime so naturally they'll sling any kind of mud they can - whether there is evidence or not.

In this case not.

I build a self-hosted application (so I guess that qualifies as local-first), how I monetize it: one-time payment to get the product, then yearly (optional) paid support/updates.

I am not too worried about piracy, as that is a battle you'll never win (games have been fighting this game for a long time). Create a good product that solves a real issue, get in front of people, and provide a good service, so that they are happy to support you in the future (either for updates on this product or for building new products).
I used to ask questions on various /r/Ask subreddits. For example, AskHistorians and AskPhilosophy.

Just as ChatGPT became more available, these subreddits decided to make their posting policies unnecessarily strict. The "answering culture" has also become more hostile, with people downvoting questions that don't fit into the monoculture of Reddit's hivemind.

And so I have found ChatGPT to be very useful for asking about philosophical and historical questions, specifically asking for resources on a particular topic/problem. E.g., "Has any philosopher written about XYZ topic?" It will sometimes give me imaginary resources, but usually it'll recommend actual books written on the subject.
By being declared as that?

Division has no side effects, and division by 0 is UB. UBs only occur in invalid programs, so behaviour in case of UB is not relevant to a discussion of side effects or their lack thereof, in language terms these are not programs at all.
But other browsers do this (Vivaldi, Arc has split view) and its great. If the OS does it you have awkward additional spacing between those tabs and additional browser chrome because the browser is unaware of the context you're in - comparing stuff side-by-side.

I'd like an excuse to use Firefox again, but they've just given up on new UI functionality and I'd miss out on a lot by switching away from Arc.
The killer is grocery delivery services. They got wrapped up in the legislation, so they must deliver groceries in reusable bags. It's totally impractical to come an collect the bags again (collect, clean, sort), so instead our small office, for instance, goes through about a dozen of them a month.
Both statements don't need to be true. The compiler just has to prove that at least one of the statements will always be true.
It's far from clear that "reusable" (thick, thin plastic bags are reusable too) plastic bags are a better deal environmentally. If you have to get 300 uses out of a thick one to break even, does the average "reusable" hit this number?
> A highlight of the sale is a computer which Allen helped restore and on which he worked, a DEC PDP-10: KI-10. Built in 1971, it’s the first computer that both Allen and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates ever used prior to founding Microsoft. It’s estimated to fetch $30,000 to $50,000.

What? I know lots of people who would save them the trouble and buy it now for $50K. How bad of an investment could that be?

Edit: I'm picturing something large refrigerator sized like the PDP-8 at RePC down the street. If it's cheap because it's a 20-ton white elephant that's a different story.
The Growing Federal Push for Zoning Reform
https://archive.today/aBsEO
Yeah, this was a confusing thing to me too, but apparently the logo making the pattern in the print is not the "logo" they are talking about. Yes, it is the logo printed on the leather, but LV products also have other markings using the logo that help identify it as an authentic LV product. There are other things like clasps, stitching, edge work, etc as well that identify authentic products. These are the things that have been removed as well as the stamped logo of this person's brand on it which quite clearly LV would never do. All of this is explained in the video linked elsewhere in this thread from the actual leather worker that the TFA video is glomming onto.
I suspect the purpose of announcing it is so that it enters the news cycle before a Presidential debate. The payload itself may never materialize.

Trust in the Federal Reserve, and ignorance of its function, can be a strong partisan issue without waiting for a payload.
I enjoy projects that push the limits of what we expect from terminals. However, as an end user, I would be highly annoyed at a terminal with effects like this. My favorite thing about terminals is the minimal cruft from unnecessary peacocking. Every other mode of application has decades of built-up obligation to be flashy or entertaining in the way it presents information. Not terminals, though, that's the last place where less is more.

The issue with MTV taking down its archive has nothing to do with copyright duration. If Netflix takes down its archive tomorrow you will say copyright is too long again. You can say it every time something is inconvenient to you as consumer (not producer and copyright holder). So in the end you will argue for elimination of copyright.
Huh? I am using it rather than remembering it. Since my router only allows specific hosts and ports to be accessed from Internet, there is no need for security between my laptop and my 3D printer, can just upload and print the model / watch it on camera by typing a URL.

I always loved the choose your own adventure books as a kid, but it seems like they don't exist anymore.

-I initially started with just text on a page, but found that too boring, so I tried to spice it up with pics and (creepy?) UI effects.

-I feel like some stories turned out well, but others feel kind of flat especially if you hit an early dead end.

-Part of a longer term personal goal to make reading more engaging!

You're correct; they are mostly neutral on those issues. But note that "least hawkish in the current government" is an extremely low bar to cross.
If we wanted a population of, say 100 million people, which of the following two projects would require more resources?

A.) Habitats and sealed communities along with all the heating, radiation mitigation, life support systems, etc. along with the infrastructure to support farming and all other necessary activities hardened for the harsh environment.

B.) Putting the correct mixture of gases into the atmosphere to warm the planet, protect against radiation, CO2 for plants to breathe and make the air pressure high enough to allow for liquid water.

I genuinely don't know. It seems to me like at a certain population it would be cheaper to do B rather than have an enormous population along with all the farms and whatnot they need in large steel and glass domes. For what it's worth Mars seems to have all the necessary raw ingredients for terraforming except for nitrogen or some other filler gas for the atmosphere.
Stomp on both, car breaks hard by locking all tires. Blame "Tesla bug" because it didnt stop in 50 feet ... after you sped up by max accelerating for 8 seconds flat to ~80mph.
Exactly. All human systems are sociotechnical, and people within systems respond differently when they know that they're being monitored, and even more differently when they know that the monitors know that they know they're being monitored.

Exact models are somewhere between impossible and implausibly expensive for a non-trivial system. Approximate or die.

> We shouldn't expect juniors to use a different / artificially handicapped workflow than the rest of us.

When I was at film school, our first year project was required to be done on film. This was 2001 - Digital cameras were newish, but the school had several that students could use.

The reason they required film had to do with the students. Film is expensive, and unforgiving. You need lots of light, you have to cut and tape it together by hand. It makes you slow down and think about what you’re doing and why.

AI is a tool, but developers need to understand their work without it. I think it dangerously enables development without thinking.
> How many times has the Laffer Curve been trotted out to claim that reducing taxes on rich people will increase receipts, only for it to not happen that way?

Never. The problem with debating the Laffer Curve is that tax receipts always go up, only occasionally dipping for recessions. It's not possible to correlate tax receipts to tax policy in that way without inventing your own model for what would have happened under your alternative policy (which can of course say whatever you want it to say). Taxes decreased, receipts go up. Taxes increased, receipts go up. The only thing that stops receipts from going up year-on-year are big recessions, and even then they always bounce back to higher than pre-recession levels afterwards.
> I also fondly remember IPX from when I was a kid. Red Alert 2 and Age of Empires II supported it, and it was truly zero-config on a small LAN.

Interestingly, I recall Red Alert 2 only supporting IPX, and that causing tons of trouble for us at one LAN party when we tried to play it. Of course I may be remembering this wrong due to the passage of time and the fact that my technical skills were rudimentary at the time.
Having spoken with over 100 CXOs and founders on this, this is never the issue. If you invest in corporate real estate you do it through a liquid vehicle, not owning the actual contracts.

The push to RTO boils down to:

- leaders want the over-committed. Remote doesn’t feel like that.

- they miss working in person as a team and the fuel it provides for getting things done. Remote doesn’t feel like that.

It is almost universally a gut-sense that has driven the effort.

I think it does make sense for the leadership team and their close team members to work in person most of the time.

But there’s a funny flip side to this - almost all of them are on the road most of the time. Coming back to an empty office sucks.

I’ve been building remote-first companies my whole career. I prefer frequent onsites to offices.

But in the end, the prestige of the office, social cohesion of organizing life around it, and personal sense of power from having a team around you are unlikely to be replaced by any alternative for most leaders.
I've heard this sentiment. Have you been through a screening interview with a recruiter before? It's most often very formulaic and they don't have expertise in your domain. On top of that you have to find a mutual time that works for the recruiter 9-5pm.

With this approach you can interview anytime 24/7 and get a consistent experience.

> I don't think any programmer puts UB on purpose into the code

I agree with you. But the problem is not people putting UB in their code, either on purpose or by mistake: we all do that, every day!

The problem is people trying to defend their code once it has been made clear to them that it contains UB, and trying to fight the compiler rather than fix their error.

That because Europe has always been the front runner when it's about advancing the human species and where the best ideas, sooner or later, always win.
It’s so incredibly stupid to sell off each piece of the museum - 50K for a DEC-10? Does the Allen estate really need the cash? Jody Allen is simply bent on destroying her brother’s legacy.

It was extremely cool and educational to visit the museum as an EE undergraduate, to visually see and use parts of the history of computing. It’s a massive loss to loose this collection. Some of the items we will never get back or see again.

MacOS when seen through the lens of iTerm2 is actually pretty great.

brew install theThingIActuallyWant

...and you're off. Settings for notifications and obnoxious start-up stuff, all in one place and in your hands, not Microsoft's and in most cases, not even Apple's. It is better than Windows.

Linux, with complete user control, is better. It has rough edges, still, but your computer is your own. MacOS is the better of the two consumer offerings. Windows is now the sleaziest of all, and I'm sad about that.

I've been a gamer and PC enthusiast for more than 40 years. I've used Windows since there was a Windows, and MS-DOS before that. My first "real" computer was an IBM XT clone running MS-DOS 3.3. I went to the store for every upgrade. Microsoft Bob was the first thing I passed on, but I've used all the others. I was beyond excited for Windows 95, I ran NT, and all of it's variants. I loved Windows 2000. ME, 7, 8, 10... I still have licenses. I won't touch 11. I've switched to Linux on my desktop, and won't be going back. I use Macs for work, and for the family PC.

Microsoft Office is still the best office suite out there, but I'll run it on Mac or through Bottles on Linux. I won't let Windows on my hardware anymore if I can help it.

On another hand, Android respects the user choice of browser. I have not seen it forcefully start Chrome on me once I set Firefox as default.

I cannot say the same for Windows and Edge. Teams open links by default in Edge regardless of OS settings as far as I know (but it can be adjusted in Teams settings). Searching from the start menu also opens Edge and Bing rather than my choice of browser and search engine.

There is no could have been in reality. Laws of physics was not broken since Slack was invented. You are reducing a complex system of economics, technology, market, phycology, politics etc into a sentence "could have been". It sounds smart and logical but it has no existential relevance.

To be honest I think this would have been a better outcome for Microsoft in the long run.
I think concurrent editing is where Dropbox collaboration falls down.

E.g: you edit the intro paragraph, and your buddy adds a conclusion, both while offline (or simultaneously). Dropbox can't/doesn't resolve the conflict in your files, and instead picks a winner.

This is still solvable by your app, but requires additional logic/storage above what the "shared folder" model provides.
Because word and excel go together in the needs of a business and those who usually buy one use the other as well. All competition of MS in this space offer similar products bundled in a similar way.

Teams is a recent addition which is orthogonal and is a product from entirely another market where the competition has offerings without an office suite. Looking from there, MS uses unrelated offering to hide the price of their product while pushing it to hundreds of millions who are already their clients.
I’m not sure what the different incentives are, but I’ve read people say Tik Toks comment section is where it’s at, but I’m almost never inclined to read the comments, which differs from Reddit/hn/threads where I may be more interested in the comments than the original content.
quantity over quality has never been a good idea for art.
Hopefully Windows will get support for more technical features soon.
> Are you saying this isn't quite true?

It is not. The presence of UB in an execution path renders that execution path invalid. UBs are behaviours, essentially partial functions which are allowed to arbitrarily corrupt program state rather than error.

However "that execution path" can be extensive in the face of aggressive advanced optimisations.

The "time travel" issue is generally that the compiler can prove some paths can't be valid (they always lead to UB), so trims out those paths entirely, possibly leaving just a poison (a crash).

Thus although the undefined behaviour which causes the crash "should" occur after an observable side-effect, because the program is considered corrupt from the point where it will inevitably encounter an UB the side-effect gets suppressed, and it looks like the program executes non linearly (because the error condition which follows the side effect triggers before the side effect executes).
Of course it’s not gone, although I suspect there’s a very large number of people who would be surprised to learn either that their Wi-Fi network at home is actually a LAN or that a LAN has utility outside of just providing access to the Internet.
