Yeah, Flow had the ambition to be sound but has never accomplished it.

If you read the Flow codebase and its Git history, you can see that it's not for lack of trying, either — every couple of years there's an ambitious new engineer with a new plan for how to make it happen. But it's a real tough migration problem — it only works if they can provide a credible, appealing migration path to the other engineers across Facebook/Meta's giant JS codebase. Starting from a language like JS with all the dynamic tricks people use there, that's a tough job.

(And naturally it'd be even harder if they were trying to get any wider community to migrate, outside their own employer.)
Having been running a VPS with manually maintained services moving to docker saved me a lot of headache... things definitely breaks less often (almost never) and if they do it's quite easy to revert back to previous version...
Not only does it look OK to me, but the UX is second to none. I don't like the modern design trends with white space everywhere, I want to communicate and that means dense information.

I think the design issue is more of an HN meme these days, than an actual problem.
Despite the negative framing of the headline, the number trading for an EV has always been above the rate that the general population buy EVs, and is improving over time, e.g it's about 4.5x the rate of EV purchase in US (about 7%) right now.

Possibly more importantly missing from the headline is "at dealerships" so missing anyone who traded their Tesla in to Tesla (or other non-dealership option) when upgrading.
"""Llama 3 incorporates multimodal capabilities through a compositional approach similar to Google's Flamingo model, integrating vision and language processing to handle interleaved visual and textual data, but extends this concept to include video and speech recognition."""

In 2019, btrfs ate all my data after a power cut. Btrfs peeps said it sounded like my SSD was at fault. Well, ZFS is still chugging along on that drive. I am not surprised btrfs took ages to stabilize, and it will take ages again before I rely on it. I’ve had previous btrfs incidents too. I think the argument against btrfs is that it was not good enough when btrfs devs told people to use it in production for ages.

Grenoble also banned all ads in 2014 and put in a lot of trees. It is truly an audacious move, yet completely rational. My dream is to also ban parking of cars in neighborhoods and most car traffic, cars can be parked along the edges in solar covered parking spaces. Add car sharing, better public transportation, urban agriculture, community gardens and parks: soon you'll have an efficient paradise of a city.

Unfortunately mayors of cities in the Netherlands do not have sufficient power to change rules like these, its the state which makes these rules. This is why we won't see such a thing in my country. There are progressive cities where it could fly, but overall the Netherlands has become extremely conservative.
Worked for Lidl in Germany in spite of much fussing over it at the time of introduction. Over a decade ago, I think?

> Today? Even though the murder rate is lower now than it was in the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s—and data suggests violent crime is “near its lowest level in more than 50 years”

Most stuff does not get reported as a crime. If there would be an aggressive dog in a neighbourhood, a few decades ago, it would get solved pretty fast.

Today, murderous beast is not put down, even after disfiguring a person! Instead it gets processed through no-kill shelters, and goes to new family with falsified history!

Today we have many more dogs. No training. Large work dogs who need attention and space, go crazy in tiny apartments!

And attacking kids is somehow normalized. They were "walking a wrong way" on public street, and that somehow confused and scared "reactive" dog!

Maybe there is less gun killing, but that does not mean there are no dangers!

Good rule of thumb, but also very context dependent. Consider the following example of a pattern used extensively by Douglas Adams, and a little by Terry Pratchett, in service of humour:

I made my escape by swiftly sliding down the laundry chute, my fall
being gently broken by the Wednesday rota for large duvets. A perfect
plan to avoid spraining the other ankle.

Too bad today was Thursday.

For a dungeon crawler:

You breathlessly take in the wonder of the large underground
cavern; the twinkling of glow-worms high above resembling
the night sky, the luminous ore-lines tracing sinuous veins
away into the horizon, the mountains in the distance, at once
both masking and highlighting just how large the cavern is.

By comparison, the rapidly approaching 300-foot high fire-
breathing Dragon intent on devouring your party fatally appears
unimpressively small.

I can keep this up all day, actually.

The point being, punchlines have to go last.
I wonder why ZFS is marked as not having de-dupe (deduplication).

AFAIK ZFS has had deduplication support for a very long time (2009) and now even does opportunistic block cloning with much less overhead.

Quoting /u/mre__ on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ebze8w/rust_in_produ...):

I wanted to highlight some memorable quotes from my chat with Jeremy, who's a principal engineer at System76 and creator of Redox OS 1:

"Even the most skilled C programmers struggle to write bug-free code. Vulnerabilities in foundational libraries like libc are still being discovered today."

"I have not seen a big movement, a large amount of developers moving over [from Rust] to any other languages. I haven't seen them move to Zig. So if I had to bet on it, I would bet on Rust being here in 10 years and being the dominant memory safe compiled language."

On embedded systems: "The embedded controllers, although there is a lot of interest in Rust, I don't think the security advantages are really there as much because you're not often dealing with third-party input. You're usually dealing with things that are very structured and have fixed sizes and even C code can deal with those quite well."

His call to the Rust community: "Please stick with your projects. Please stop abandoning your Rust projects. It has been somewhat of a trend that a very nice new Rust crate will be created and the developer will spend a couple days to fill it out and then it will be left forever dead but still available on the crates.io website."

I feel seen on the last point. ^

There should be an open Chromecast. Pocket-sized SoC with HDMI port where one can install whatever Linux kernel and userland. No need for "custom ROMs" from third parties. Once purchaser pays for the computer, they should be able to wipe the pre-installed crapware, if they so choose, e.g., maybe when it gets old, without making the thing useless.

Macros allow you to bring highly tailored DSLs into your code base. You can practice language oriented programming.

It's seductive, but there's a steep cost. You bring in a bunch of new notation, which you have to learn and teach and remember. You have to consider all the interactions that happen when you mix notations. You have to implement all the tooling.

Usually what happens is you don't quite remember what things mean after a while, and you have to study it again. You didn't consider all the interactions, so it isn't that well behaved. And you never got around to implement quality tooling - and there's no obvious place to plug that tooling in, either. And then it turns out that the notation wasn't quite right for implementing the changing requirements of the business.

> The GP is speaking about the UK - wasn't it always a very socially stratified society?

It got way worse during the Thatcher years and especially following them, with the formerly mighty heavy industry all but collapsing, and the Brexiteers made heavy bank on that. The aftershock of first Covid and then Ukraine with the gas price and general inflation was yet another heavy blow.
There's really no easy black-and-white answer to this problem I think. While advertising cigarettes with cartoon characters to get kids interested is obviously disgusting, or having doctors promote them, advertising has its place. Remember "Computer Shopper", the huge magazine back in the 80s/90s where the ads were really the main reason to buy it? Those ads were how people back then bought computer components, because there was no other way of learning what was for sale from where, and how much it cost. Of course, the internet (which Computer Shopper helped make popular and accessible) put the magazine out of business eventually, but before the internet revolutionized communications (including advertising), ads like those were essential if you wanted to find products that weren't available in your local retail stores, or were only available at inflated prices.

It'd be nice if there was some kind of advertising industry code of ethics, but I can't imagine how this would develop, since the people in today's ad industry are obviously a bunch of con artists and sociopaths who lack any ethical standards at all.

I highly, highly doubt that this is true.
I'm running bcache, with lvm/luks and xfs on top, since >5 years on my desktop and it has been stable and partition manipulations, like resizes, worked without problems, albeit the tooling is not so well supported.

I bought new a new ssd and hdd for my desktop this year and looked into running bcachefs because it offers caching as well as native encryption and cow. I also determined that it is not production ready yet for my use case, my file system is the last thing I want to beta tester of. Investigated using bcache again, but opted to use lvm caching, as it offers better tooling and saves on one layer of block devices (with luks and btrfs on top). Performance is great and partition manipulations also worked flawless.

Hopefully bcachefs gains more traction and will be ready for production use, as it combines several useful features. My current setup still feels like making compromises.

I think that it can only play “games” for which it has perfect information about the state of the “game”.
That's true but misleading: if "any" and "unknown" were the only types, then "any" would be indistinguishable from "unknown" and you'd really have just the one type. Which makes the type system sound because it doesn't say anything.

If your type system has at least two types that aren't the same as each other, then adding "any" makes it unsound right there. The essence of "any" is that it lets you take a value of one type and pretend it's of any other type. Which is to say that "any" is basically the purified form of unsoundness.

Security is easier when the attack surface is limited.

An OS provides a huge amount of functionality and offers access to vast amounts of complex shared resources. Anywhere in that there can be holes.

A VM is conceptually simpler. We don't have to prove there's no way to get to a root exploit from a myriad services running as root but available to a normal application. We're concerned about things like that a VM won't access a disk belonging to another. Which is a far simpler problem.
There is a very strong correlation between two factors here, one of them being violent crime, that Western Europeans are very hesitant to acknowledge.

Sweden is well known for having high levels of this other factor right now, so your observation about violent crime is not surprising.

I looked myself up and "google" is proeminent. However I'm only posting anti google comments, nothing technical but on the privacy theme...

I also looked up 'yocto', which is something i know something about and i mentioned in posts a couple times, and the first user returned has some very interesting tags:

gur juvpu ohg guvax evtug qbrf

And the only really related tag i see is 'buildroot'. I guess it's just not a popular enough tag for the machine to have enough data.

Edit: and to join the choir of concerned voices:

1. It's not 'trusted'. It's at best 'popular'.

2. It reminds me of the main social networks and 'engagement'. Hope HN never becomes as predatory.
I'm not quite as extreme as OC, but value privacy enough to not carry a cell phone and always pay cash; my suggestion would be to allow an ability to opt-out, which would unfortunately probably require you to retrain your entire model (i.e. to destroy all connections/weighting to the opt-outs).

An example would be that users place a small opt-out snipped within their user profile, e.g. [no-robots] ?

Perhaps OC might consider never commenting outside of 4ch..? Except even glowies train LLMs =D
>That sounds like article of faith. The GP is speaking about the UK - wasn't it always a very socially stratified society?

From WW1 until about 1975, no it was getting less stratified. The upper classes famously had to relinquish their country houses because they couldn't afford to maintain them and the middle classes grew.

It wasn't until neoliberalism took a foothold under Thatcher that social stratification started to grow again.
This sounds rather crazy and unrealistic, as C# with its task system and threadpool implementation is strictly better at massively concurrent and parallel applications.

Go in general is a poor, bad language with unsound type system, significantly higher amount of footguns and much worse throughput scaling than .NET.

.NET truly is in “casting pearls before swine” predicament if that’s how some of its users see it.

Note that if you look at GitHub statistics - Go has already won popularity-wise because it’s not the technical merit that matters nowadays but “vibes”, which is to say no amount of bullying is sufficient until Go community stops damaging technical landscape.
