WSL2 is not even in the same league of Crostini integration though.

Also I find Windows really annoying nowadays. In desktops I much prefer to use NixOS with a minimal window manager (i3/Sway/Hyprland).
The relatively high TDPs are putting me off Ryzen 9 a bit, even if you are getting 12-16 cores.
1 payment per second. 1 payment per uber ride. 10 dollars per ride. 864k per day. 365M per year. It's not a small system and could be some mixture of one market at Uber or some %age of rides (eg one payment provider)

(it could be 2 payments per ride or drivers get batched payouts but w/e).

There's obviously bigger payment platforms (eg Stripe or GPay / Apple Pay or Amazon) but not all of us work in payments either
Courts are not customer support, the court system is already massively overloaded as it is.

I agree that courts have their place, in this case to provide an appeals solution if someone remains blocked by their ISP despite provably not being a bad netizen. But they cannot shoulder the load of policing - in the meatspace, that's done by police, in the digital space the ISPs are the closest equivalent.

It is because people only remember the time they were ghosted, not when they ghost.
Then you're not sales, you're consulting.

At this point it would be cool if Hetzner would have not only a floating IPs but also Multicast IPs.

This would be on my Wishlist super high up and it would instantly solve a big issue in routing with a robust solution.
This happened to me, and I actually did it. I burned out of an IT job and joined an intentional community where I worked with people with disabilities on a farm. There was also a vegetable garden and a craft shop. I lived there for two years. It was an Americorps position, and I made $150 a month (although housing and food from the organic farm were all free). Probably the most formative two years of my life, although afterward it was definitely hard to explain to employers why I decided to take an Americorps position in my 30s. I never went back to work in IT, although I still read about programming/the IT world almost every day.

It's definitely a case of people not reading, but honestly: who does read the full terms of a license? Most people just don't know which have requirements to attribute the work or redistribute license files or which provide the company they work for with certain advantages/disadvantages. They just "heard about" MIT or Apache 2 or whatever are safe to use and there are some license types that are unsafe to use.

I've led several product management teams in my career and many engineers, executives, and customers I've talked to have this impression that if they put some bit of software under AGPL, then its nature is such that it's super viral: that potentially the entire product would necessitate becoming AGPL if the AGPL code is used in any fashion in the product. This has been primarily perpetuated from Google's statement on it: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl... and engineers that now there's a lot of lore around AGPL generally causing so much fear in any of big-tech company potentially needing to open source their entire service that it's treated as "companies wouldn't dare include our AGPL software in a competitive offering because then they'd have to open source their entire hosting stack, and nobody is going to be willing to do that."

My understanding that I heard through the grapevine is that this fear was what MongoDB was relying on for so many years and they found out that one of the big tech companies was about to offer a competitive MongoDB-as-a-service, which caused them to make their shift away from AGPL. Other (mostly database) OSS vendors caught wind of it as well through their networks, and that's why various OSS database products didn't go to AGPL but instead to proprietary licenses.

What’s the chemistry at play here to achieve this?

Does it burn “lighter” compounds away to leave dark ones behind? Does it cause a reaction to turn lighter compounds darker? I couldn’t see details of the mechanism. Which is important since presumably some mechanisms would give a hint that the process can be tried on other materials or types of wood.

The article mentions it works on other types of wood but doesn’t explain why, or if it works on all woods.
New with DDR5, and it's the reason no-one should consider upgrading memory by adding additional sticks on DDR5 platform -- instead, if you need more memory, you should replace your modules. The additional two slots are basically a newbie trap.

Next gen will do away with this because it moves to CAMM2 and there will only be a single connector on consumer motherboards.

Neither macOS nor Windows offers the deep Linux integration you get with Crostini (macOS doesn't run Linux apps, while WSL2 is good it doesn't offer the same integration as Crostini).

And modern version of Windows are much more of a privacy nightmare than ChromeOS, just take a look at the Windows Recall for example.

Rent seeking again. How is this rent seeking?
Changing incentives does not change what people want, it can only change what people do, IME. And I am pretty sure I described why I think so in my post - the incentives in the USSR were against private ownership of cars yet people still wanted that, even though the vast majority could not afford them and kept using public transportation. It's not limited to cars though, people also want to live in big stand-alone houses but in many countries are forced to live in tiny apartment, for example. Does not mean they want to share room with their grandma and listen to what their neighbors are watching on TV, does it?

>It didn't occur to you that maybe back then people dreamed of owning a car because it was a novelty, a status symbol?

It could be for whatever reason, I am not a psychic to read people minds, for all I care they wanted cars because they liked the sounds they make with the horn. The empirical fact remains unchanged: people wanted cars despite the developed public transportation network and heavy burden of car ownership. Which is contrary to the "urbanists" claim that people only want cars because of the lacking public transportation and as soon as the latter becomes "good" people will abandon cars. Some might, some people still want cars. If you see footage of Tokyo, London or whatever place is touted as the public transportation paradaise, you will still see cars on the streets.

>Everybody wants a car because public transit sucks.

>I'm not saying that nobody wants or needs a car.

These two statements cannot be true at the same time, can they?

>Wow, everybody that doesn't dream of owning a car suffers anxiety or is an alcoholic... really?

Did you notice people on the Internet do these sound imitations in writing if and only if they cannot make a concise argument? It's rather peculiar. You can see somebody writing pretty well and making logical points until they can't and then, suddenly, it's "er,...,hhmmm, wow, ugh" etc?

Like 90 % of recruiters sending me a message with the same "unique" twist in their messaging. Got this the other day:

Sure, though, those fields (marketing carrier/flight + operating carrier/flight) drive things like what the kiosk or agent charges you. Say you booked on AA, but part of your travel was a codeshare on BA. That integration is how all those terms and conditions get followed. Why you pay the AA $50 overweight charge for your big bag rather than the BA $65 charge. Similar for refunds and loyalty programs. Take loyalty...the points aren't awarded until you fly, via a "lift" message. And if it doesn't have the right marketing carrier + flight number, that "lift" message doesn't get processed.

Yes, it's old and rooted in the 60's. And yes, it's got issues. Nobody is selling it as elegant. Just that it serves useful functions now, and that it's ensnared in enough separate internal and external systems that replacing it with something better is not trivial.
AMD CPUs are currently clearly superior to Intel, across the board.

AMD consumer GPUs are substantially inferior to NVidia, and can only sell at such low prices that AMD has trouble getting any margins from them. Hopefully they have better products next gen, NV really needs competition.
Except that the inscentives are totally different from an end user perspective. Apple is inscentivised to make the phone more attractive to the person using it, because they're the ones paying.

Bitcoin supply is fixed, the denominator is not.

If i invested into bitcoin 10 years ago, my $1000 are now worth (i don't want to calculate it) like $1000000.

So if someone else now wants to invest into bitcoin today, they have to accept that the old people have a tremendes financial advantage to this. The spread is a lot.

And no its not the same as investing into a company.

This will lead to rich people not investing into bitcoins because their return value is getting smaller and smaller.

Because the new bitcoin numbers are getting less and less through halfing, this effect gets stronger and stronger.

Bitcoin is hard limited on how much bitcoin exists while the normal fiat world creates new money based on humans and work capacity we have through a complex system. Bitcoin has not solved this problem. You can't lent bitcoins, create value and return this amount as an addition to the whole amount of bitcoins to represent this value.
Yeah maybe, I don't really know off-hand and I'd have to check. I know it's not possible in Go but not sure about anything else. I'd consider it hugely surprising for other packagers where that's possible too. Who is carefully auditing if the repo URL in the lockfile is actually the correct one?

Hello, I am completely new to this and the MFN safe/375k$ are confusing me. What if my company gets accepted into YC but never receives any further funding/investment after that?

Do I still get the 375k$ and if so, how many shares do they get for it or is it included in the 7% already? Or do I only get 125k$ initially for 7% and the 375k$ later when there is a next round?

I am a noob in the startup world, but this feels like YC could be abused to get "easy money" while in reality the founders never intend to scale the company beyond that / hope for organic growth.

Can someone explain, please? Thank you!

Well, you did say (emphasis mine):

> That's just "rm -r node_modules && npm install".

And there is more to it, very much relevant to your original complaint, which is not applicable to it.

> I didn't "munge around" in node_modules; I said "if something goes wrong". Like I said in my previous comment: "I found this out a few ago after I had some corrupted files due to a flaky internet connection".

I do believe that if you had run `npm ci` instead of `npm install`, that would have resulted in an error and an empty node_modules instead of inconsistency.

> Disk errors happen. Memory errors happen. Things like that.

Those are at lower layers than the package manager. I think it's unreasonable to expect the package manager to check for inconsistencies induced by hardware errors. You have file-system level solutions (zfs,btrfs) and things like ECC for that. Nothing is a silver bullet.

> I've also had an install ISO corrupted at some point. I always check the sums since, just in case because there was a lot of confusion involved before I found out the ISO was just downloaded wrong for some reason

Good! It happens. Keep doing it. There's a reason integrity verification is a step in every Linux distro installation guide.

> Your entire post is a masterclass in arguing against things that were never claimed and forceful injection of your own bugbears.

Fair! Though I do want to call out your "Who is carefully auditing if the repo URL in the lockfile is actually the correct one?" in a sibling comment - apparently the inferred bugbear wasn't all off-base :p

> I just want to check if node_modules is identical to what's expected, just in case, because computers kind of suck and are unreliable.

I think we can agree on that npm is not sufficient tooling for this. My response is additional tooling. I guess you want a more feature-complete package manager. Wish I had one to recommend. npm is severely neglected after the MS acquisition; yarn maintainers are completely misguided on a couple of fundamentals; every time I get around to take another look at pnpm either I run into a bug or catch a recent enough breakage-outside-of-semver that I decide they're not ready yet...
They're querying the sqlite database directly so I was thinking, possibly mistakenly, that when rqlite spawns a new WAL file to snapshot, the connection they have to said database outside of rqlite might not see the changes only in the snapshotting operation's WAL.

If you ever feel like you want to beat your body up a little, it is very easy to find seasonal work at UPS (or I guess amazon) during the holiday season.

I worked for UPS unloading trucks one holiday season. We would work 8 hours straight, and the only way to really eat was to have granola bars or something in your packets to snack on as you go. UPS hires ex-military personnel to lead the trucks, so you are yelled at if you slow down.

In the beginning it was grueling, but after about a month or so my body was used to it, and I was volunteering for overtime and worked up to 12 hours a day.

It messed with my back though. I would say it took me three years before my back felt normal again. For this reason alone, I wouldn't actually recommend it unless you are in your twenties.
