I think there is a market for them. Think of the many people who still have terrible internet, with no hope for improvement. Getting a weekend movie for significantly cheaper than a theater experience is going to make financial sense.

Even if you have streaming subscription(s) you have to break out your abacus to determine if your service(s) have rights to the movie this month.

That being said, I have no idea what are their expenses. On the surface, it feels like they should have low costs, so I might be making wild assumptions. Or maybe there is a Bain Capital like situation behind the scenes intentionally destroying the business.,

> Why is it brain rot?

Because there is a ton of hyper fixation and rash decisions being made over something that puts words together. It seems very unwise to add a new browser API for something that is in its infancy and being developed.
I share a bit of parent's skepticism: the possibilities are infinite （as many things really), but do we need to dive in head first and sprinkle "AI" dust everywhere just in case some of it could be useful ?

For instance I don't need my browser to pass the Turing test. I might need better filtering and better search, but it also doesn't need to be baked in the browser.

Your analogy to electricity is interesting: do you feel the need to add electricity to your bed, dining table, chairs, shelves, bathroom shower, nose clip etc.

We kept electric and non electric things somewhat separate, even as each tool and appliance can work together (e.g. my table has a power strip clipped to it, but both are completely separate things)
I'm reading some admittedly biased essays reassuring me this is bad. Do you suggest a longer form essay (besides the opinion) that defends this decision?

(You don't have to, I won't blame you or be snide if you don't. Because it really seems like we disagree ideologically).

Loper seems like it could have been narrowly interpreted but threw the baby out with the bathwater. I don't want a judge deciding what levels of lead in the water system are "clean enough" or how deadly a substance must be before the FDA decides it isn't fit for human consumption. I really would rather the elected executive with subject matter experts interpret then enforce those laws within reason.

>Under Chevron, the court would not have be able to judge for itself whether or not the statute actually authorizes the agency to charge the fisherman for the travel expenses of inspectors, and would have to defer to the agency's own interpretation that it does.

So? Congress sees the regulations passed under their authority. Why shouldn't they be the ones to call an enforcement action out? Why couldn't the fishermen petition their Representative?

All of those formats are designed to be translated to machine code when maximum performance is desired. Whereas Lua byte code is designed and optimized to be interpreted directly.

One step in Lua's evolution was to change from a stack machine to a register machine: https://www.lua.org/doc/jucs05.pdf This made the interpreter faster, but also (I suspect) more difficult to verify. I believe both Java and Wasm are stack machines (don't know about BPF).
In my mind there is a big difference between the browser using it for features and letting any random website burn my electricity on a new scale for crap I never agreed to.
As someone just-barely-around for the 90s, I would have expected the franchise to be older than that. As someone who's never read one of their books, they seemed old when they were apparently still new.
This would be a great feature. We have a similar problem whereby there are official versions of documents which have been through a review process and the only way to work on the next version on Confluence is to have a separate working copy of the page which pollutes the search and gets messy very quickly.
How is magnetic field history figured out?
Wow. I didn't know there was long term beef with the University of Illinois.
> So you think you know what an “exception” means?

An exception is when code can no longer do any meaningful work.

This could be because of a programming bug, unexpected input, network issue, hardware issue, etc. The cause doesn't really matter. What matters is that there is no way forward for the code.

And this is a decision that is made (or not made) by the programmer. In this author's Python example, he chooses accept the input as correct in the rest of the code. If a valid URL is not provided then the code cannot continue because it is assumed correct. One could easily change this code to have it continue; have it check for a invalid URL and reprint the prompt. However, this would be a different program with different requirements.
I’m ok with Apple doing it. I chose Apple.

I don’t want the API. I don’t want random websites burning my battery on AI nonsense I never asked for to make the ads on page more engaging or some other nonsense.

I would also recommend writers to keep their digital books up to date and current. The book should not be considered finished the day it is released.

Jeff Geerling gave his devops books away (free) on multiple occasions. I chose to pay for them as he kept working on and improving them well after release.

If more writers took this approach, the quality would increase.

> Belief in science as an all-encompassing ideology is a minority view among scientists. Scientists are usually careful to stipulate that it's not.

I believe that if this was studied carefully (with temporal detail), the reality of the situation would be revealed to be much more interesting than your intuition indicates.

Even the best scientists still have heuristics based consciousness, layers of culture, etc. Consciousness is way more complicated than it reveals to itself (which is what people here are describing, technically / architecturally).
Terrible internet? You watch a movie once a month max or less? You find it less confusing the the stream service mess where movies are constantly moving around and the interface changes all the time so you can never find what you were looking for once you do finally learn it?
>In this case, [X] would improve things more quickly than [Y].

Maybe so, but more importantly why are you phrasing this like it's an either/or choice?

"We, the developer community, contain multitudes." Clearly we can (and should) do both.

Besides the obvious benefits at the higher community level of organization, deploying both solutions will result in even less bandwidth and power wasted from this specific bug than using either solution by itself.
For anyone looking to dip their toes into Wargaming, I encourage you to look at GMT Game's output. They have a ton of games like this of varying levels of complexity. The best way to get started is to try to find a game around a theme you're interested in. These games are all (largely) in stores:

Funny, that's been pretty much the opposite of my experience with Copilot (or any other LLM-based code assistant). It constantly spits out lines that are similar to what I was planning to write, but are subtly wrong in ways that take me more time to figure out and fix than it would have to just write it myself in the first place.

It's handy if I want a snippet of example code that I could've just found on Stackoverflow, but not useful for anything I actually have to think about.
There’s a hack if you work in Developer Relations for a tech company.

1. You write the book as part of your job during the workday.
2. Your company buys the published book to distribute at events and conferences for free.
3. The book seems successful and you get paid.
4. The book gives you credibility in industry events and may even help you get a special visa if you need one.

Full disclosure: I have never written a technical book, but you should if you work in Developer Relations.

This is a weird behavior and it seems people, these days, consider this normal! I usually stop talking if someone wears a headphone and give them the opportunity to finish listening to whatever they are listening to. How do one talk to someone whose ears are blocked by plugged-in headphones (even if they are passive, which I won't know).

I believe it is a courtesy to remove one's headphone when talking to another person.
They're offering to build custom container images, with the applications configured to customer specification? And the customer is free to host the resultant container on any OS / cloud provider of their choice. So it's a paid service, not a product?
The website itself is like a fossil.
At least most computers had a coffee cup holder built in to get through figuring it out.
The EPA began phasing out leaded gasoline 9 years before Chevron. Also, Chevron ruled in favor of an oil company.
One small aspect: it is training developers not to learn their tools. We now have a generation of "software developers" who think they can just lean on "AI" and it'll make them more productive. Except all they're capable of is outputting poorly put together inefficient crap, at best.
That's presumptive on having Internet at all, but even so people make poor economic decisions all the time. Think of title loan and paycheck loan places, grocery shopping at the dollar store. You get the idea. And the fact that at times movies can be released to dvd before they're released to streaming. For that matter even if it's available to stream it may not be available to stream on your service. Does you no good that Suits is currently on Netflix if you're a Hulu subscriber.
Ah, yes, how could I forgot what https://contoso.tld/users/6510/grocerylist.jpg is the file what is very prominently displayed in a browser of the every contoso.tld visitor, so it definitely demands for the browser to query https://contoso.tld/users/6510/grocerylist.jpg/favicon.ico just in case user 6510 would want to display a custom favicon when someone is watching that grocerylist.jpg, right?

I understand what you tried to retort just to retort, but I've had asked for the actual use-cases, not the mock ones and purely hypothetical.
When I looked a couple of months ago, the Katana from Titan and Osaka might be comparable, but it's only $100 cheaper. The others I looked at were over $1000 (Thermaltake, Sidiz, and Xchair). The Xchair has a cooling/massage/heating system you can buy separately and add to their chairs, but it will still be over $700, I think.

> Cloudflare has become much worse over the last 3 years due to increased adoption and default deployments by government services like congress.gov and institutions like science.org.

> These websites have been effectively blocked for millions of people in a multi-year on-going denial of service by cloudflare.

This is a great way to frame the issue. This is a DoS. But, it is a DoS against the client. And, the operators of sites that choose to front with cloudflare et al, given the choice of DoS against their servers or flipping the bird to a portion of their users, have chosen to make their own lives easier.

It is not just Cloudflare, though. My credit union uses Akamai who for a period of several months would terminate my connection during the TLS handshake, if I tried to connect from a connection tethered to my phone (cloudflare hates tethering/CGNAT too; cloudflare kept me from accessing my health dept's website during the pandemic from a tethered connection [my only Internet access at home]).
> When incompetence has more responsibility, the effect of incompetence is amplified.

Correct. This is the desired effect.

Today, Congress hides behind endless procedural votes and dramatic hearings and grandstanding against political opponents and basically doing everything except for useful work.

Now, not only are they on the hook, their incompetence is (hopefully) going to be amplified.

The all-talk-but-no-legislating politicians will, over the next 20 years, get weeded out one by one.

Basalt on the ocean floor records the magnetic field of the earth from when it cooled. Since it radiates out from midoceanic rifts and the rate of its creation is known, we can use it as a diary of the magnetic field. Iirc we first figured it out during WW2 doing magnetic bathyometry to help ships navigate.
I see no problem. It's those people's choice to do so, and they accept the risk.
What if we just didn't start WW3 and reached a diplomatic solution?

I supported the war early on, but it's clear now that things have gone on long enough and this is nothing but NATO saber rattling.

I like how all other "war" content on HN gets tons of hate, but as long as it's ukraine / russia hating it gets a pass.

peace is the solution.
HB100 Doppler Radar Module Teardown
I haven't seen ubuntu's version of distroless but the general term implies a container image with an empty shell of what a linux distro provides. Leaving behind only the minimum files for running your app rather than all the cruft around running and maintaining a distro, which is normally all done at container build time.

From the Debian based https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless/blob/main...

Statically compiled applications (Go) that do not require libc can use the gcr.io/distroless/static image, which contains:

- ca-certificates
- A /etc/passwd entry for a root user
- A /tmp directory
- tzdata

Applications that require libc but do not need libssl can use the gcr.io/distroless/base-nossl, which contains all of the packages in gcr.io/distroless/static, and

- glibc

Most other applications (and Go apps that require libc/cgo) should start with gcr.io/distroless/base, which contains all of the packages in gcr.io/distroless/static, and

- glibc
- libssl

I had 3 sets of AirPods. 2 upgraded inside of an hour by leaving them connected to my MacBook, while they were charging and the AirPod cases were open.

One didn't upgrade. Annoying.

I left it for about 4 hours.

Anyway, you can force an upgrade by hitting "forget this device" and then re-pairing it. As soon as you do, the firmware will upgrade.
They were inspirational literature compiled from oral history, inviting everyday people to share inspiring real life stories that they would compile and publish in themed collections.

The market for inspirational literature includes many religious people in general, and they had no reason to exclude stories infused with religious or Christian content, but most of the many books were not Christian themed per se (although some explicitly were).

That they admitted Christian stories at all, or sometimes used striaghtforward Christian references in some titles or prefaces was enough to make them unpalatable to some, of course.

> Or does he think that using JIRA means a PM is forcing the team to follow an unwanted process?

Think that must be it. We use JIRA at work. We have very, very simple processes. We create issues, we assign them, we resolve them and they're closed when deployed ok. Minimal fuss.

I also have access to a customer's JIRA. They have like 6-7 steps between starting working on an issue and saying it's deployed in test environment. Another 5-6 to say it's delivered in prod. I saw the flow chart for the steps and it made my head spin.

Are we talking about Confluence from Atlassian’s login? What’s so bad about it? It’s usually tied to your SSO provider, so you just have to sign in to your work account. In the server days, it was connected to your AD/LDAP password.

I don’t like Atlassian products very much for a lot of reasons (each iteration of the UI gets worse), but the login process has never been an issue for me, so I’m surprised to see your comment.

>Skip low level and go as high as you can. Ditch C, assembly, hardware. Take python, ruby, js. Never touched C++ cause it’s awful? Good.

In my personal experience, I think that having to work on different high AND more low level programming languages over time is what sets me apart from people/coworkers with low basic knowledge of computer foundations (the order in my case being Basic, Pascal, C, Perl, C/C++, PHP, JS, etc). Also it depends on the projects, but just my two cents.

They are not hiding behind a non sensical term. Distroless is a established term in the container space. Many images are often offered in both "normal" and "distroless" flavor, where distroless is stripped of anything that is not needed to run the application, for example curl and shells etc.

Since distroless are lacking all these tools other techniques needs to be used during troubleshooting and debugging.

I think distroless images are great. Less stuff to patch and smaller images.

It means that your containers only have what you explicitly put there. There's none of the niceties that the distro's typically include.

It means you have to stop treating your containers a little less like VM's and start treating them a bit more like OS processes. For instance, you can't get a shell on one unless you bother installing that shell yourself.
