Systemd itself is a fine idea, but its maintainers and governance are not.

They screwed up the libsystemd first by bringing tons of dependencies (including libxz), and then inventing a braindead delayed loading mechanism. That required adding custom ELF sections. It's funny that they used "macOS does this!" as an argument for the delayed loading, when in reality macOS removed that functionality about a decade ago (for being braindead).

While all they needed to do was simply split libsystemd into two libraries.

I watched my computer reinstall edge, reinstall/hijack my drives with onedrive, re-add ads... But I left Windows for Fedora.

I felt offended that I didn't know about Fedora before. Like, there was some hatred toward Microsoft and Canonical for hiding a 10/10 OS. Angry at M$ for bribing schools. Angry at Canonical for free CD marketing that made crappy Debian-family the standard for 10+ years. Likely irrational.

But Fedora has been an option and I didn't even know.

Yeah, I have noticed this effect. I use my phone less than most people in public, but I often have the instinct to reach for it to avoid something about my environment that is at least mildly uncomfortable.
I wrote a toy kubernetes CSI driver recently and found it quite pleasing to do. Bare minimum means implementing just 3 grpc api calls - An informational one and publish/unpublish. Amazon's EFS or EBS CSI drivers are good examples because they're a pretty small codebase. I don't know exactly how this code interacts with the CSI driver itself, but it appears that it is the logic that ultimately results in the volume manipulation calls the controller makes against the CSI driver. It's nice that the complexity is all here, I was actually pretty surprised how simple the drivers themselves are.
Absolutely, but this is announcing this as a "new" protocol. I'd like to know what is new or if I'm missing something.
In fact I know a retired guy who moved to Maui, and then moved back. The principal reason was the saying they have, "If you have a pain, get on a plane."

Technically yes, but it would require reverse-engineering some of our APIs.

Practically speaking, we have quite a few use-cases where users call Loops from other Loops, so we're investigating a first-class API to generate Loops in one go.

Similar to regular software engineering, what you put in is what you get out, so we've been hesitant to launch this with the current state of LLMs/the Loop Creator as it will fail more often than not.
I'm just saying that the comment saying it's illegal to talk about this stuff in his country is entirely plausible, there are lots of examples of people being arrested and jailed for saying the wrong things about this situation.
> We do a lot of data exchange via EDIFACT

I dunno how technically difficult this is, but consider either hiring an expert on this stuff, or hiring your core software engineering team, and hiring a consultant/freelancer type who is an expert in this stuff to get it done / up and running.

> Strategies for attracting and retaining tech talent in a non-tech industry Experiences transitioning from third-party to in-house software (success stories and cautionary tales). Potential pitfalls we might not be considering. Alternative solutions we should explore.

Part of outsourcing, is you're not just buying the technical solution, but the support and potentially the liability if something goes wrong. So it's important to consider what secondary benefits are baked into using a third-party, and deciding if you have the ability and appetite to support those as well as developing the tool.

I sort of imagine that replicating the tool / business process is the easy part, it's stuff like setting up and wrangling EDIFACT that will be the hard things.

Am I weird in feeling like the code in this file is really really... normal? Like, it's verbose in certain ways due to being written in Go, as well as due to not relying on any deep abstractions (and I don't mind this - abstractions are a double-edged sword), but in general, as code, it seems typical - and if the header text didn't exist I wouldn't think twice about the style it's written in.

Maybe the disconnect here is that most of my experience is in enterprise software rather than systems software. Perhaps many of the comments in this file seem unnecessary to regular contributors within the k8s project? Whereas if I were writing this same code in an enterprise (and thus expect it to be read by people far in the future lacking context on all the technical details) I would have put -more- comments in this file, given the sheer complexity of all it's doing.

It's a broken argument to assume you need inflation for a reasonable money system. If a money system becomes popular then the price of goods becomes cheaper in that money as it is more scarce.

Goods would be less sats over time.

Inflation is bad for everyone apart for the people who print the money, hence the mess we're in.

> Don’t trust a certified cheque from “Bubba’s Bank and Trust and Taco Shack”, or from the “Royale Bank of Scottland” branch in the City of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico.

That is actually a little like how US money used to work--badly--before the civil war. A storekeeper would keep a third-party guide behind the counter, regularly published for their city or region. The guide would help them recognize the designs of private notes from different banks, and contain recommendations for what value (if any) someone could place on the note depending on the reputation of the bank and how far away they'd have to go to the nearest branch.

"It costs $3? Okay, here's a $5 from the Far South Bank."

"That's a long ways from here in Middleville, traveler, I'll take it as $4."

"If you can give me $2 from Extreme North Bank for change, then I'll take the deal. Otherwise $1 for something local isn't as useful for me since I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Sorry, today I can only make change in local stuff or Eastern Railroad."

Well, some are rated to be able to sustain shocks of 10,000g while powered, and maintain accuracy through lesser shocks that would still vaporize the rest of the airframe, so yes.
> All it is, is a bunch of LLM calls in a while loop.

Consciousness may be such a loop. Look outward, look at your response, repeat. Like the illusion of motion created by frames per second.

To me it is concerning that proper useful agents may emerge from such a simple loop. E.g just repeatedly asking a sufficiently intelligent AI, "what action within my power shall I perform next in order to maximize the mass of paperclips in the universe," interleaved by performing that act and recording the result.
What does "proper software" have to do with systemd? Sometimes upstream provides unit files but normally it's on the packager to provide the integration into your distro.

I've seen some software depend on libsystemd for the sd_notify but I think after the whole security kerfuffle there won't be many of those anymore.

I think the point here is we are comparing Menlo Park best case scenario to the Mission worst case scenario.

If you live in the upper mission you can take the J Bart or the 14, and walk for 15 min from Mission or Market. In total this would be about 40-50 min. Or you could bike the whole way which would be around 20 min.

If you live in the lower mission (which I did) you can take the 12 which should take you there in 20 + 10 min walk. But you could bike there in about 15.

I actually worked a bit closer and could walk in 20 min, which I often did, and didn’t bother with buses.
[Guix/Ansible/Chef/Nix/Puppet] + systemd-networkd + firewalld/nftables. It's not much different than setting up any old load-balancer or reverse proxy on an internal network.

Why not Docker? Since routes are kernel-level and shared between containers, using Docker here typically complicates things rather than making them simpler. Unless you already know about most of the "network magic" Docker does by default, in best case you'll waste a lot of time figuring all of that out and in worst-case you'll apparently have it working but actually vulnerable in some subtle way. And at the point where you're running with "--net=host --user=root --privileged", you're not gaining much from containers for these specific use-cases.

Yes, you _can_ do stuff like this with just containers with CNI/custom networking but VMs are typically cleaner and easier unless you're strongly personally motivated to learn about the underpinnings of container networking.

> And docker nginx-proxy to multiplex various self-hosted web apps (either in a home lab or on a VPS).

That's probably fine, and you might be able to do something similar without even touching that part (aside from closing off the public entrypoint when/if you get the tunneling working). You'd set up the WG+routing either on the same box or on a dedicated tunnel/proxy endpoint, as well as on the remote side. You can either add an additional L7 LB (like nginx) at the entrypoint or redirect traffic straight to your existing nginx. The former is probably the safer and easier, but less efficient approach.
Beautiful.

This controller is intentionally written in a very verbose style. You will notice:

You obviously have not operated kubernetes long enough. With large enough scale you'll find the cluster controllers crashing for various reasons, getting out of sync with each other, etcd crashing or getting locked, and a whole bag of bugs.
Why is it in SF if attendees are encouraged to limit themselves to YC, home and the gym?
A simple example for anyone who might not appreciate why this can be so nice.

In languages where if is a statement (aka returns no value), you'd write code like

int value;

if(condition)
{ value = 5; }
else
{ value = 10; }

Instead of just
int value = if(condition) {5} else {10}

Some languages leave ifs as statements but add trinary as a way to get the same effect which is an acceptable workaround, but at least for me there are times I appreciate an if statement because it stands out more making it obvious what I'm doing.
Mathematica might be one of the few remaining holdouts of this convention: Return starts a new line, while Enter submits the command to the REPL. Enter is aliased to Shift+Return, though, which I'm pretty sure is what most people use nowadays.
Usually the most humorous sense correlates with the "optimal" one, but here my bet is with Goethe's usage..

[OTOH I got paid 0 points net, so does that mean I moved neutrinos in the Russell dichotomy]

Granted, "we" need to work on our temporal logic..

But I do see an interesting mod, in

E(K. G(K `will` mischief in the past) ∧ G(K `manage` good in the future)),

Like you (I) maybe intended to mean, how much mischief, in what sign and proportion in relation to ___?

Or should we go with

E(K. G(K `use` bad faith tactics in the past ) ∧ G(K `do` a modicum of good in the future)),

Or quantum voodoo. the wavefunction has support almost only in the bad faith subspace, but somehow collapses only in the "good". This almost works because bad faith -> good might involve "just" a "relativistic" frameshift

Dust is composed of things like pollen, dirt, tiny particles of sand, dried plant material, and so forth. There is plenty of outdoor dust that is natural.

Go doesn’t have a ternary operator, you are supposed to write something like

boo := bar
if foo {
boo = baz
}

One of the many cases where Go’s designers decided they would ban something they disliked about C (in this case, complicated ternary operator chains), but thought Google programmers were too stupid to understand any idea from a more modern language than C, so didn’t add any replacement.

(I’m not exaggerating or being flippant: Google programmers being too stupid to understand modern programming languages has literally been cited as one of the main design goals of Go).
You're very right! Luckily, we can resolve the vulnerability in this instance, although it's a challenging problem to resolve in general webapps.

The technical explanation for our issue is that the client-side Javascript in our webapp is trusted. To quote the late Ross Anderson [0, pg. 13], "a trusted system or component is one whose failure can break the security policy." In this case, our security policy is that the server must not be capable of viewing our screenshots. Our goal is to make that trusted Javascript more trustworthy: that is, closer to a system that can't fail.

We're at an advantage in this case: there's an open-source application on GitHub with eyeballs[1] on it that users must run on their endpoint machines. Given that we already have source-available local code running, we could instead serve the UI from the local Go application and use CORS[2] to permit access to the remote server. If the local application is trustworthy, and we're only sending data (not fetching remote Javascript), then the local client UI is trustworthy and won't steal your keys. If users run binaries directly from 1fps (as opposed to building from source), then you would want some multi-party verification that those binaries correspond directly to the associated source [3].

Protonmail is almost surprising: it's supposed to be end-to-end encrypted, but it's not end-to-end encrypted in the presence of a malicious server. If, say, a government order compelled Protonmail to deploy a backdoor only when a particular client visited the site, most users would be unaffected and the likelihood of discovery would be low.

It’s why you need “enough” data. Generally the distribution of teens is a power-law distribution. There’s a set of common terms and a very long tail of other terms. This will be the case across every shard if you do in fact have enough data per shard. This becomes a factor in certain distributed aggregations as well. YMMV of course.

In general you trade accuracy for speed. You tend to get a lot of speed for just a small amount of accuracy sacrifice.

To be a bit more subtle: you can make a better competitor and be successful. But it's really hard to "dethrone the king" as you put it.
