It's odd that things like that are what they're missing.
> There are broadly two approaches to git commit history: (a) it should reflect the historical development process; and (b) it should be cleaned up and pretty.

Can't you have both? Like, before you squash-merge your feature branch into main, you branch a new "feature archive" branch off it -- shouldn't that keep the more detailed history in that branch, even as the original feature branch gets rewritten? Then you'd get both a nice and pretty linear main -- well, not exactly "linear", in the sense that there are still lots of "dead" feature-archive branches off of it, but the "clean history" club can just ignore those -- and the full commit history of each feature for more detailed spelunking. Hmm, suppose it depends on whether squash-merge deletes old commits or creates new ones to replace them; feels like if they're in the ancestry chain of an "archive branch" they should be preserved there.

Parenthetical:

> If you're taking approach (b), then the maintainer is responsible for rewriting commits (e.g. squash merge).

Do they really have to be? What if the project policy states "Only submit PRs with nice and pre-cleaned history."?

Based on the graph the process is producing way less CO2 than other additive processes. Being low temperature this intuitively seems a credible claim. Maybe you are concerned about high currents which is true but since voltage is low that does not multiply to much.

> One thing I’ve done is reconfigured Ctrl-K. Normally it deletes from the cursor to the end of the line, but I rarely do that.

I would recommend against this. I delete from the cursor to the end of the line all the time. Maybe more in Emacs than readline, but still

You can already delete the whole line by issuing C-a then C-k. I also do this all the time and that key combo is as easy for me to type as any two letter word.

Remapping C-k means you now have two ways to kill the whole line and no way to kill from the cursor.

But worse: you're teaching yourself a keyboard setup that only you use. You'll be lost on somebody else's computer, or any time you don't have your config installed. The standard readline bindings turn up in sometimes surprising places and it's a joy when you realise you're already trained to use some system or software you've never used before.

I'm surprised the article doesn't also mention C-y. After you've C-k killed something it goes on to the "kill ring". Press C-y to bring it back! (You can bring more than the most recent thing back, but you now have the key words to look this up yourself).
Business as usual. Someone decided to earn more money :

This seems like historical revisionism. Not saying Apple wasn’t part of a certain trend, but it’s an odd bone to pick since Apple technically is one of the few companies that relies on hardware sales, not ad revenue.

Google is far more likely to fit your profile. It’s where ads (adwords and adsense) started to transform the web. First just a few cute banners at the top. And these days some sites just plaster the whole page with them.

Even still it’s hard to pick any singular company that started to make tech suck, they all followed or initiated trends that made things worse from a consumer standpoint.
> Hosting video is expensive; a Twitch streamer (Thor) mentioned that an 8-hour stream at 1080p with 8,000 viewers costs Twitch nearly $5,000, while 720p still costs around $1,300.

That's what Peertube is for. The original video comes from a specific web site. If the viewer count goes up, the people watching it also stream it out. So a hugely popular video won't overload the source server.

This is not like Bittorrent. It's not distributed file storage, just distributed streaming.
It's only a load on the viewer's system when they are watching the video. Now that there are large numbers of users with symmetrical network connections, this is a practical way to distribute video.

I put technical videos on Peertube because there are no commercial interruptions.[1]
I recommend it for content which doesn't need "discovery" service - that is, users arrive from
some other source than the hosting site.

264k of RAM is really a lot.

Many C64, ZX Spectrum, Coupé folks would dream of having such an amount of memory available to them, the best they ever got was 128KB.

They're getting it right, they just don't have the same incentives as the end users.

Their KPIs are "time spent watching videos", "ads being watched", not "is the user happy" or "is he watching relevant content".

Their products are designed to be addictive and profitable, not entertaining or useful.
>One thing I'd mention is that graphic editing (photoshop/GIMP/etc) is still stuck in an interface taken from paper.

>Farmers were going bankrupt because there was so much food that they couldn't sell.

And the originally-quoted passage is about farmers destroying crops as part of price controls due to overproduction.

Could you provide any kind of evidence that the supply of food was evenly shared? Steinbeck spent a lot of time with impoverished farm workers before writing the Grapes of Wrath, so I'm inclined to believe his description of them.

It would be very hard to make a good analogy with this since the problem of "finding" arithmetic progressions is, as far as I know, of negligible interest compared to the structural knowledge of their existence. The situation is perfectly reversed in both computational biology and machine learning. But maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "a complete solution to the prime number sequence."

> A good marketer, like a good actor, lives in their promises like they are already real. The realer and more convinced you are, the more you can speak your vision into reality.

Wow. Don't you see the problem with selling something that doesn't exist? There's a thin line between making up a story to make people buy a product, and straight up scamming people with a nonexistent product. Elizabeth Holmes was a genius marketer, but is that really somebody you want to idealize?
Tooling

When your text editor is not enough for a task, and it hopefully is extensible, consider writing little plugins to reduce repetitive tasks.

Here is an example. I was working with a legacy code base using an infamous Scala actor framework. Basically, all function calls were replaced by message passing. All messages were sent as 'Any' objects, then downcast to the expected type, so an IDE wasn't of much use. I wrote a little bash script to populate a jump buffer in vim with the result of a grep, and suddenly, I had jump functionality! Originally, I had to jump to type definition, hope that the associated "received message" type was in the same file, then look for downcasting into that received type. I don't remember precisely the details, but what I do remember is that the little script helped go from a few seconds to just pressing two keys to navigate the code. It's especially useful for legacy code, where the main activity associated with it is reading and understanding.

Our capacity to focus as humans is limited in time and energy. Writing tools to do in half a second what otherwise would take a few seconds can help, not only to make you faster (for that, refer to xkcd 1205) but also to effectively increase your capacity to focus.

Though being able to develop your own tooling is less important today. Languages and frameworks nowadays prioritize tooling as an important feature. And I'm grateful for that, programming used to be much more annoying.
Yes, ICT is generally useful.

I think that ICT skills are built-in in the course of others subjects now, with more work being done online and on computers so that, in principle, pupils will learn in the course of their general studies.

Yesterday was MTV News deleting their archive, right? But on your points: brace yourselves for AI-generated content, with increasing technical quality and probably also increasing entertainment quality. That will be The Flood and might wipe out the small human creators by their lack of discoverability, and replace the studios output because hey AI is cheaper than employing real humans. So what do we do then??? Also no archives because shareholder value (I think I use this term already too much)...
> Interestingly Swift’s predecessor Objective-C, older versions of Nim, and early versions of Rust all supported tracing garbage collection! Yet they all abandoned it.

Yes, because it was a failure mixing a conservative GC with the underlying C semantics in Objective-C, so the applications would regularly randomly crash due to pointer misuse.

The alternative was to have the compiler take care of the Cocoa's retain / release message pattern, like VC++ can also do for COM AddRef/Release, while selling the pivot as a success, in good old Apple fashion.

Then Swift, naturally had to use a similar approach, the alternative would be a complex marshaling layer like the CCW/RCW that .NET uses to talk to COM, and was redone in .NET Core with COM Wrappers source generators.

Nowadays everyone not around for the party, always takes the wrong conclusion why Objective-C moved away from a tracing collector.
> I often notice how the communication style on the West Coast is much less confrontational and more “everything is awesome”, which I think leads to the sort of fake enthusiasm the author grew tired of projecting.

Yes, echo cancellation via the browser (and maybe also at OS-level too, if you're on a Mac with Sonoma.)

How to get past festival security according to festival security
You have a compelling argument. The only reason I’m suspicious of it is that it is just that compelling.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I do think there's something like a "right to ideas". Like you can't tell someone to just forget about something, things people experience become a part of them and I think it's reasonable to expect they should be able to share that with others.

I mean, after life + 70 years you already are entitled to other people's work. And a purpose of patents was to get people to release ideas so culture as a whole can grow from them, rather than just keeping them as trade secrets or whatever.

I absolutely think people should be able to receive some money for it, maybe even for life + 70 years, and people can always not release things, but I think once it's released it's not just yours any more, as it lives in the public conscious.
I would go even further. I think individuals can have multiple approaches at the ready, which can be used appropriately where needed.
My reading (IAAL) is that in 2012 the whistleblower laws were changed, and key language was added in. That language has been interpreted, in other contexts, to include future earnings. But the new law had not yet been tested, so this case is a "case of first impression" in that regard. The reason it will have far reaching impact is that potential whistleblowers will no longer worry about losing future earnings, which could have deterred (especially younger) potential whistleblowers.

Ask HN: Combine central monitoring with platform embedded monitoring
My company is using a central monitoring tool (Datadog) and the rule is that everything should be monitored there.

However, the landscape for which I'm responsible has it's own monitoring tool which comes with a lot of out-of-the-box settings and advanced options including dedicated applications for different kind of monitoring (health status, performance, end-2-end, etc...). It also offers an OpenTelemetry API that can be called by the central monitoring tool to fetch all the data.

If I use the dedicated monitoring tool, I benefit from a lot of options like filtering, analytics, drill-down, seamless navigation, almost ready E2E monitroing, etc... I only have to configure some thresholds and decide if they trigger an alert, create a ticket or start some automation. But I'm told that everything should be visible in the central tool and also only this one can create incident tickets and alerts for the 1st line support.

If the central monitoring is to be used, then I basically have to manually replicate configuration/code to process the OpenTelemetry data. I also lose a lot of flexibility because I'm not the owner of the tool and the team responsible for it doesn't understand my landscape and doesn't react fast to any change I require.

All in all I would still be using the dedicated tool to investigate the issues, because it provides much more detailed info with near-zero effort. Therefore the only benefit of the central tool is that 1st line support would see the status in their dashboard and also would have a bit more understanding of the tickets they get since they link history of tickets and resolution outcomes to their monitors.

I don't want to go rogue monitoring my landscape and I also benefit from 1st line support having a bit of awareness of the landscape. But besides of that I would like to use the dedicated tool.

Do you have an idea on how to better combine both options? My first idea is to aggregate the monitoring for the central tool to be much less granular and just detect something like "There is an issue with Health Monitoring for the system XXX". While the dedicated tool would provide the details like "Certificate YYY of system XXX is going to expire in 15 days".

However I must be granular enough to control priorities and ensure the alert is sent to the correct support team. This already forces me to start reworking things that I have readily available when setting the threshold in my dedicated tool.

Invent a new language from scratch and teach it only to people you can trust fully, then start a society from scratch among those people.
This has nothing to do with GCC being a first-class citizen in Linux. It’s a kernel feature. The kernel doesn’t care which compiler or debugger you’re using. You can dump core of any process regardless of the language it’s written in. Every modern OS supports that.
We're going to put just a type ID in the word - you could probably get away with much smaller than a 64-bit ID, but padding will round it up to 64 bits in any case. The heap has exactly one tracing function and size function for all objects, and the functions check the type ID to determine what type they're looking at.
Agreed. I've been doing freelance design/dev for small businesses for 15+ years and at first I would always choose the best current CMS available. Wordpress was always an option, but it was clunky and had a mixed reputation. Well, all those CMSs are gone and I had to migrate several sites. Wordpress offers one of the most important things to these small businesses: (relative) consistency and dependability.

I can very much see the benefit of decoupling the front and back ends for these cases, especially since in most cases nowadays the public facing pages are pre-rendered/cached anyway. Also, I love Laravel.
