it's not the same thing. Tab completion is useful and will complete something you know of. But it does not help you discover something you don't know, or provide you the syntax of the command after it is entered. The problem I would like to solve is discoverability.

It's a 3 part problem: available commands, their options, their syntax. Part one would need to capture prompt input before enter was hit using solutions similar to those found at [1] perhaps the most useful but least complete one there is the one that uses apropos so something like `apropos -s 1 '' | sort | grep calc | less`. Similar solutions would be required for two and three. The roughest and easiest prototype would probably be two tabs in a split screen view, which would allow for selection of displayed matches to then modify the prompt creating those matches in the other tab. But Calc style popups directly attached to your cursor would be more useful still.

I think the adventure game portion of Lucas Arts was in the process of dying at that point. They didn't release another adventure game after Escape from Monkey Island in 2000. They would have already cancelled a Full Throttle sequel. They had a couple of attempts after this but they were both also cancelled within a couple of years.

Grim Fandango was very good, but honestly the genre got worse after it, not better. Overall the introduction of 3d to the adventure genre had a pretty shaky start. Although there were a couple of exceptions, the genre in general backpedalled for a while.
Social safety nets today are needed weslth distribution. A UBI needs to cover everyone. With the same funding a UBI would have to provide less benefit than the programs we have today.

That said, my argument against a UBI isn't even that it's too expensive. Anyone claiming that a UBI will be too expensive is falling into the same trap those arguing for a UBI fall into. The impact when making such a massive change to our social and economic system is impossible to accurately model and predict. The OP author actually seems to agree with this by pointing out that a UBI program can't be tested. Oddly, though, the author's solution to that is to YOLO a UBI program into our entire country without being able to understand what the likely impacts will be.
As someone living in a red state that, thanks to wild gerrymandering, has a government that actively writes laws against the majorities wishes, I can only dream of having the power of the people to write and vote on laws.

Market forces can't (sustainably) adjust price to less than the cost of production. They can spur process and other improvements to reduce cost but that does take time and isn't always possible, especially in the near-term.
but is changing the economy as a whole a fair characterization of UBI?

That’s a disservice to the existing complexity of modern economies.

If Apple are losing a sale, they want to lose it to themselves. I'm not sure they'd be worried about being unable to extract more money from the customer, that's an area in which they seem flush with ideas (perhaps, an iPad Ultra with encrusted diamond frame?)
For things with non-trivial comparison functions you're all but certainly better off with those in something else like a hashmap. After all, the more expensive the compare, the more expensive the sort & reordering that a binary search requires. And then for trivial comparison objects, binary searching is still slower even at "huge" sizes like 10,000. It's really hard to find a good use of binary searching an array on modern CPUs.

I don't bother remembering IPv4 addresses, so I'm not sure why I would bother to remember IPv6 addresses. Heck, phone numbers are generally short as well, and who remembers them nowadays? ("0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3")

Maybe it's dismissed because people see it as a non-issue. I regularly work at OSI Layer 2 (and even 1, pulling fibres in a DC), and Layer 3, and am not sure what the concerns are about.

Being able to create a table and issue a query means being a normal user on the cluster - so you have an account and can log in. It's enough to issue `CREATE USER [blah] PASSWORD [pwd];`, which is the minimum create user command.

So we're looking at malicious or disgruntled employees, and also normal queries where users do not realize what they're doing will kill the cluster.
No that's also what I'm talking about. If implemented, a UBI will subsidize every single market in the economy with federal dollars. For every dollar a consumer spends on any product, a portion of that money is directly from the government.

For a government to build and maintain a UBI program they will have to be able to predict where prices will be and how much money everyone needs or deserves to cover the basics. Assuming the country runs on a fiat currency and partskes in monetary policies meant to control the cost of money, a UBI adds another complex layer onto that puzzle making it even more challenging to predict and control markets.

My uncle has physical copies of photos that are more than 30 years old, that still look like new. I have copies of some of the photos that he has, but the colors have deteriorated so much that a lot of them are unrecognisable.

The photos are kept in albums inside plastic sleeves. What he does to preserve them is to take the photos out of their sleeves every few months and keep them outside for a few hours in a dry place. He makes sure his hands are clean and dry before he handles the photos.Then he puts the pictures back in the albums. He has done this diligently over the years.
The C foundation was absolutely essential for doing real-world useful things in Objective-C.

Writing a GUI image editor? Your underlying pixel buffer types can be plain C and you can use all the C libraries that exist. No cost of bridging those data types to the late-bound object-oriented Obj-C world where your GUI is implemented, and no constricting interface hoops like Java Native Interface. If your GUI code needed to read a pixel, you could just do C pointer arithmetic right there.

And the same goes for audio, networking, and anything else you can imagine on a desktop where all the underlying stuff is C.
> There won't be the big UBI day, where we make the big switch globally. It's a creeping expansion of social benefits and transfer payments and an easing of work conditions

I agree, in the sense that I think UBI proponents would do better to lobby for that than a big, deus-ex-machina version of UBI. But I don't see it happening "naturally", without a lot of political effort.

If your company has windows and Linux but only guards against threats on windows, then you may have a different problem.

I believe you can lock a Linux box down tighter than a windows box, but then you're trading compile times for other costs.
It’s an argument against complexity. IP had amazing longevity because of its simplicity and openness.

Even if something is open, complexity is almost like closed as we can see with crazy complicated web standards for which there are few implementations.
Not the case unfortunately; you can. I'm not defending Windows here (bitter hatred of Microsoft here, since they started charging 2k for the compilation tools back in the 90s).

In your particular corporate environment that might be the case, but not in this case, I had free run of a fresh install and no offensive AV there, and detuned to remove the crap.

Other posters have said certain optimizations (which I'm not sure would help, it was pure compilation, no large files that I'm aware of). Just saying, always good to keep an open mind.

Much of the cost is imposed by semantics and the security model; there's no silver bullet solution that can be imposed without turning it into a different filesystem with different semantics and/or on disk representation.

At one point they planned to replace it with a database filesystem, but that was too complicated and abandoned. That was probably the end of replacement work on NTFS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS
Tailscale value proposition is that it just works, all the parts you normally have to assemble yourself already built and connected, with value add in terms of ACL support publicly and things like funnel (exposing services over HTTPS on nodes that don't have a public IP) and taildrop (easy file sharing).

Also various integrations, like tailscale k8s operator.
Show HN: I built an open-source tool to make on-call suck less
Hey HN,

I am building an open source platform to make on-call better and less stressful for engineers. We are building a tool that can silence alerts and help with debugging and root cause analysis. We also want to automate tedious parts of being on-call (running runbooks manually, answering questions on Slack, dealing with Pagerduty).
Here is a quick video of how it works: https://youtu.be/m_K9Dq1kZDw

I hated being on-call for a couple of reasons:

* Alert volume: The number of alerts kept increasing over time. It was hard to maintain existing alerts. This would lead to a lot of noisy and unactionable alerts. I have lost count of the number of times I got woken up by alert that auto-resolved 5 minutes later.

* Debugging: Debugging an alert or a customer support ticket would need me to gain context on a service that I might not have worked on before. These companies used many observability tools that would make debugging challenging. There are always a time pressure to resolve issues quickly.

There were some more tangential issues that used to take up a lot of on-call time

* Support: Answering questions from other teams. A lot of times these questions were repetitive and have been answered before.

* Dealing with PagerDuty: These tools are hard to use. e.g. It was hard to schedule an override in PD or do holiday schedules.

I am building an on-call tool that is Slack-native since that has become the de-facto tool for on-call engineers.

We heard from a lot of engineers that maintaining good alert hygiene is a challenge.

To start off, Opslane integrates with Datadog and can classify alerts as actionable or noisy.

We analyze your alert history across various signals:

1. Alert frequency

2. How quickly the alerts have resolved in the past

3. Alert priority

4. Alert response history

Our classification is conservative and it can be tuned as teams get more confidence in the predictions. We want to make sure that you aren't accidentally missing a critical alert.

Additionally, we generate a weekly report based on all your alerts to give you a picture of your overall alert hygiene.

What’s next?

1. Building more integrations (Prometheus, Splunk, Sentry, PagerDuty) to continue making on-call quality of life better

2. Help make debugging and root cause analysis easier.

3. Runbook automation

We’re still pretty early in development and we want to make on-call quality of life better. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

> ...there’s a good reason the testing culture is so strong in ruby:

"Strong" as in "You easily burn 10x more time writing tests as you do code... and not because it's difficult to think through how to write good tests"? If so, yes.

"Good"? Hell, no! That's a bad reason.

> ...a huge number of tests in my ruby code were doing things that a type checker does automatically...

The folks I work with demand that we don't write these tests, so they don't get written. Guess how often code detonates in production because of things a typechecker would have caught... despite the enormous volume of test code.

To be crystal clear, I totally agree with your statements in this comment. I started my "career" with C++ and I'm so damn glad I did. Had I started with Ruby and Rails, I would have come to the conclusion I was far too damn stupid for this field and left to become a lawyer.

Steve Jobs wanted to make the Mac an appliance too. It's part of why the 128K was kinda trash and had no internal expansion. It wasn't until he was forced out that they released the Mac II and SE and not being so fixated on being an appliance. Modern Apple is too addicted to low-effort high return App Store revenue and too worried about the iPad eating Mac sales to make it an actually good product instead of a nice one for niche workflows.

The Scale of Life
The Ace Attorney series are visual novel games; I'd call them a crossover of genres.

They have the presentation of a visual novel (first person perspective, characters look straight out at you, most of game is paging through dialogue), but they also have gameplay elements of traditional adventure games (looking around multiple locations for clues, try every item in the inventory to see what response you get, etc.) - I think in Japan they'd call that an adventure game for being overly interactive, but in the West we'd still call it a visual novel.

I haven't tried the Zero Escape series, but after a quick look at one on Youtube, it does look like that same mix of visual novel with adventure game / puzzle elements?

I recently had the idea to record every note coming out of my digital piano in real-time. That way if I come up with a good idea when noodling around I don’t have to hope I can remember it later.

I was debating what storage layer to use and decided to try SQLite because of its speed claims — essentially a single table where each row is a MIDI event from the piano (note on, note off, control pedal, velocity, timestamp). No transactions, just raw inserts on every possible event. It so far has worked beautifully: it’s performant AND I can do fun analysis later on, e.g. to see what keys I hit more than others or what my average note velocity is.

I believe it's the bullshit jobs argument. You could point to Twitter though, or really any sizeable corporate layoff that isn't driven by entirely getting rid of departments or products.

Sick days, vacation, and parental leave are also good examples at a small scale. It definitely doesn't hold for every jobs, but if a person can be out of the job for days or weeks without a huge impact on the team it may very well be a mostly bullshit job.

I find this a vague, reductionist view. When I have dinner with my family today, there’s more than one nature, while my own nature has changed in the last 10 years.
