Thank you. While I agree with the other poster that most OSes are stagnant, I think iOS is particularly bad.
Thank goodness for HN status reports.
> The obvious explanation

No.

“universe appeared everywhere at once at exactly same temperature” Same level of obviousness, if not more.

For some reason a disclaimer is mandatory these days: I am not saying I know more than cosmologists, just that inflation is nowhere near the “obvious explanation” territory.
Reminds me of a repository I once found when searching for Prometheus exporters.

It stated this but with Twitter; it will monitor latest tweets searching for a custom word combo and raise a server alert when found. I found it hilarious. Will post the source once GitHub is back on.

Would this work if the font was used in a PDF typeset using LaTeX? (EDIT: when running on top of a TeX engine which can access OpenType, or some other tool (such as InDesign)?)
Also the monied class totally lost its appetite for manufacturing anything due to the unions that went with it, and the solution to the problem of socialism was to destroy the idea of society, as per Thatcherism.

Yes, restaurants have specific procedures for allergy meals. But restaurants have specific procedures for everything, and procedures fail constantly.

Saying you have an allergy doesn't mean the server won't simply forget to pass it on. Or won't misremember the ingredients in a dish. Or that a runner won't actually grab a dish for the wrong table.

There are no magic order-to-serving procedures that are guaranteed to work 99.9999% of the time that are also easy to implement in a cost-effective way. It actually is really hard.

So what happens is everybody tries their best but there are just no guarantees, and mistakes get made all the time.
Feels bad to have one's job interrupted. Looking on the bright side this is the excuse I needed to check out Radicle...

That would mean extracting more value from your salary, and that might rock the boat of other employees in your salary bracket, so no.
My understanding is that if you want to put metal in a microwave keep it away from the walls. If not, you can get an arc jumping from the metal to the wall and it can burn a hole in the wall of the oven.

You should also put something (eg. a cup of water) in the oven to absorb some of the microwave energy. The metal doesn't absorb much energy so without an additional absorber the microwaves can get reflected back into the magnetron and overheat the oven.
HN need to publish their secrets on how they rarely goes down!
That doesn't explain why the fee is per user install. That's just rent-seeking.

GitHub Is Down?
I may need to work now.
Thought we reached peak oil?
I have to wonder how a company at the scale of GitHub can be so bad at keeping track of their status.

Now 4 out of 10 services are marked as "Incident", yet most of the others are also completely dead.
At some point my tax dollars will be bailing out GM due to GM having to pay fines for stealing my data, so I’m just paying someone to steal my data?
And other services like copilot...

I think this is because logged-out Twitter now shows top Tweets of all time from a user, rather than most recent Tweets.

Good reason why companies shouldn't be using Twitter/X for status updates anymore!
Say I wanted to replicate a total market index like VTI. Is that possible?
Executives behind bars and multiple times the revenue from their illicit deals should work as incentive to guide the industry.
I was around at the time and this is partly correct but somewhat wrong. We were trying to connect people so they could share information and collaborate, but those people at the time were in (different) offices. The notion of people working from their home didn't really arise for regular people (ironically the CEO class always did) until powerful laptops and DSL or HFC residential service appeared. Sometime around 2000.

I first worked from home for one project in 1992 but I had to lug a computer from the office -- several trips to the car to get it all loaded. And I had no network connectivity.
A few years later in 2000 I began full time remote work but I still needed a rack of servers in my basement and eventually constructed my own ISP to get decent connectivity.
Totally remote working where it's just me and a laptop and a fast network probably took another 10 years to arrive.

So if you got in your time machine and talked to Vint Cerf in 1990, sure he'd be interested in the vision that nobody would need a physical office at some time in the future, but that wasn't why he was building the network because nobody could practically do so for at least a decade and nobody at the time could predict how long it would take. Some predicted advances such as telemedicine and remote learning only took off due to a pandemic, for societal and regulatory reasons, not technical ones.
I worked at Pluto TV pre-launch, and YouTube "live" crammed into channels was basically our app, with a scheduler system that allowed us to also render a channel guide.

It's 00:16, just about to go to bed, I ran `git push` and it's not working. Check Github, says it's down, I think it's only me, maybe I'm blocked, Github can't be down. Come here to check and it's down for everyone, such a relief.
I love how the same people who try to drag me towards using Git are the only people who seem to have serious problems working on their code when a website goes down.
Wonder if they’ve had worse uptime after moving to Azure
Is it? There are plenty of examples in animal kingdom, which should prove, it is not unsurmountable problem.

Theoretically the goal is to pass on the best set of genes.
it knows we're all in a voting ring called Github Users
Imagine being in an 'unresponsive' state and on life support for a long period of time - with what consciousness and sanity remain, you might wish to die, so if you were given covert instructions like the examples in the article, would you follow them, knowing that it might help with research, or would you ignore them in the hope that it would increase the possibility you would be declared brain-dead and taken off life support?
Would LaTeX apply the 'calt' lookups? I don't think so.

XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX should be able to do that, though I'm not sure offhand whether they successfully embed color fonts into the output PDF.
> But, it turns out giving late-teenagers and young adults loans that can’t be discharged through the normal bankruptcy procedure, and then having every adult in their life tell them that they need to go to college to have the middle-class lifestyle their parents enjoyed, creates wildly a poisonous incentive structure.

The real problem is college degrees that cant pay for themselves.
This is intentional. It's mostly a matter of discussing how to communicate it publicly and when to flip the switch to start the SLA timer. Also coordinating incident response during a huge outage is always challenging.
Sorry, didn't see your reply till now.

It's not literally everyone.

Immunocompromised people who have managed to survive are often still afraid of catching Covid. How little most people care means that those who are worried have a difficult time existing in public spaces. Especially with the constant social pressure to act like Covid is over. You're not going to see people who are worried about Covid as often, because... they are worried about Covid.

This was the case early on, too, though! Covid is _much_ more likely to kill people in marginalized groups. And while marginalized deaths still show up statistically, they are going to be more hidden in the day to day.

New Covid variants still cause severe long-term effects. From what I’ve read, the consensus seems to be “we have no idea what all of the long-term consequences will be, but they’re looking worrisome.” Covid is not reported on as much now, but this information isn't from like, fringe sources or anything. There is less news about Covid now because nobody wants to think or read about Covid anymore.

e.g. a quick search gives me:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/researchers-are-still-untangl...

So, while most people may have moved on, I think the RTO movement is still hostile and coercive. Honestly, imo most people having moved on is also largely due to coercive forces.
> it's the developer that gets charged, not the user.

.......you do understand there is no difference, right? Any extra costs incurred by the developer will be passed on to the user.
What'll it be this time? DNS or BGP?
> There's a bunch of gentrification from Silicon Valley, and the tickets not selling out makes me think that the tech recession is still very much on, but there's more to Burning Man than just tech bros.

I suppose the irony, if you're right, is in how much the event depends on advertising revenue and the residual wealth it is/was creating. In the first talk by any googler I attended, he mentioned his burning man project.
Yes : https://github.com/psf/black/ is 502
I call them unnatural because they're added where they're needed to achieve certain properties which aren't achievable without adding the needed unnatural stuff. Not because they're artificially designed like the sweeteners. Or artificially made like the glutamate which is identical to natural glutamate everywhere.

You can't call stabilizers on phosphate basis natural extracts from trees. They aren't. These are chemicaly designed and made in a chemical process. Even if they are chemicaly exact, which is not the case, the amounts needed of that stuff exceed the available Carob gum trees by far. But the trees have phosphate. It's among carbon
the second column of life. :)

Just a sample what has been corrected by law:

https://kstawinska.medium.com/7-harmful-chemicals-in-vegan-m...

The article doesn't mention di/triphosphates, it doesn't mention potassium and a lot of others. It's all a question of the amount consumed and that depends on the products and the consumers body/health.

Industrially made vegan products are more chemistry than homemade, about the same within pre processed food, and even more chemistry as if one would eat steak & cheese & potato in various shapes 3x a day.

And then, which of the vegan guys does make the meat imitation chicken teriyaki at home or never eat in restaurants outside?

But the Link is a good read. And it's not over, just study contents of all the products next time in the supermarket. I can't buy half of the products :)
Man, this is strangely compelling ... it's a very different experience. The only complaint is I have no idea what I am watching.

Yes, and I still believe editing text is painful on a browser and this is just putting lipstick on a pig.

Keyboard shortcuts and auto-complete being important pain points.
There goes Pages, there goes the CDN for release artifacts, there goes any package manager hosting repositories on GitHub. Is this outage just contained to github or is it an Azure outage?
Is GitHub Down? a.k.a. Angry Unicorn
"No server is currently available to service your request." :(
Yes https://www.githubstatus.com/
I guess when GitHub goes down, it is somehow strangely tolerated for years even after the acquisition and goes down more times than Twitter. When the latter encounters a speed-bump, just like the 'interview' with Trump, it's global news because a Mr Elon Musk owns it.

Both seem to be doing too much all at once. But really it is worse with Github if this is what Microsoft stewardship is incidents every, single week and each month guaranteed for years.

Anyways. #hugops for the GitHub team.
That’s copyright and patent law for you! Imaginary property is all about rent seeking.
Yes it went down about 5 mins ago, I got the angry unicorn. Since then the status page is increasingly red.

Seeing it all kind of went sideways at the same time, my money is on the typical load balancer config rollout snafu.

I recently looked into using Git in a decentralized way. It's actually pretty easy!

When you would usually create a PR, you use `git format-patch` to create a patch file and send that to whoever is going to merge it.

They create a branch and use `git am` to apply the patch to it, review the changes, and merge it to main.

It is nice that git supports multiple remotes, though. It feels good to know that `git push` might not work for my project right now, but I know `git push srht` will get the code off of my laptop.
I was part of Pluto's launch team. We used to literally just be 95% YouTube embeds that were forced into a live-like experience client-side. Getting simple YouTube or even HTML5 video API calls to work reliably in 2013 was quite a feat. Loads of people still had Flash, mobile browsers were a crapshoot, and I caused many many thousands of early Amazon Fire TV hard restarts due to crashing their (kernel?) video decoder somehow.

Fun times.
Oh no, its the AWD vs 4WD thing all over again.

Is WD-40 a lubricant? Apparently, again, it depends!
I haven't had much same-room interaction with my colleagues since 1996. In fact it was an observation that even though colleagues were on the same campus, I generally never saw them, interacting only via phone and email, that led me to conclude that remote work should be feasible, in 2000.
You should invent a new font type.

You asked what it takes to make a blog.

I have a html front page, tag pages and posts. All static.

There is a pretty short php page that takes an existing post or the dummy, chops off everything in front and behind the text.

The tag cloud sits under it. Clicking a tag injects it under the text.

When saved the top and bottom html are reatached and the title <h2> is copied into the <title> tag.

It then creates or overwrites the static html document.

It finds tags in the html and inserts a link to the new article into the tag and index pages.

Load, split, join and save is actually less complicated than sql and faster:)

Deleting tags and blogpostings is done manually.

Besides editpost.php there is a bookmarklet to inject quotes with links and youtube embeds.
A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized.

Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or Gitlab.
thanks! we asked the model to generate some synonyms and antonyms (in this case, we have "cold" and "impassive" vs "affectionate" and "sensitive")

Then, we ask the model to behave that way (with a prompt), and store the difference in activations for each pair. Then, a PCA can be used to extract the principal component, giving use the steering vector. We do most of this using the repeng library, and the author goes into a bit more detail on how it's done on her [blog](https://vgel.me/posts/representation-engineering/#How_do_we_...?)
Will they though? I saw a siggraph demo of a matterport like apartment preview using gaussian splatting. It downloaded 1.6gig! for a single apartment. Checking out a current matterport demo on their site for a similar sized space it was 60meg or 26x smaller
Wtf, thought it was me alone!
I'm not sure I'd call that unequivocally good news. But certainly it's fantastic that a high efficacy vaccine already exists. At that time it was available in very restricted quantities, used in countries which had access to it for highly targeted vaccination of individuals at very high risk for the sexual transmission (which seems to be just about the only really effective mode for that lineage). I wonder just how much better off we are for doses and production capacity today. A press release a couple of days ago mentioned about 200k doses from the EU donated to African countries at risk. I'm not going to say that isn't generous, but it's not huge numbers compared to the populations involved.
given that it seems like the entire thing is busted, can anyone explain how the unicorn page is being served?
yeah exactly, so if I could return quality leads from them in an automated fashion, they would probably find it helpful
So fucking funny, what a middle finger to Apple. I hope they succeed.
I got the idea because my mom (89yo) is pretty tech-savvy for her age and has no problem using her cellphone but she had a couple of incidents where she fell and the phone was out of reach as nobody normally carries it around the house (well I know a few exceptions to that) so the device could act as a wearable speed dial button of some sort. There are some devices like that but I believe they use their own network and subscriptions.

EDIT:Found one https://silentbeacon.com/product/panic-button-safety-beacon/
I might purchase one to test. About $59 USD sounds reasonable.
Seems slightly unproffesional for a massive company like Github/Microsoft.

It should be a new medical technique, which shall be named.. the frame method.
Interestingly it also seems to work fine on 16.5. Browserstack doesn't have 17.1, perhaps it was broken temporarily? Unless there's some other difference with the version of Browserstack somehow..
Git is not the same thing as github. It's designed to be decentralized, even if it isn't getting used that way atm

Ah, but that's... literally everywhere. It sounded like your issue was specific to X, but you can experience the same thing reading a magazine, riding the underground or simply walking around in any modern city.
Wait. You use github pages for something or actually work on it?
This is my first time seeing the angry unicorn! Hopefully it’ll be gone soon :(
I am happy that my project is pushed also to codeberg.
Most status page products integrate to monitoring tools like Datadog[1], large teams like github would have it automated.

You ideally do not want to be making a decision on whether to update a status page or not during the first few minutes of an incident, bean counters inevitably tend to get involved to delay/not declare downtime if there is a manual process.

It is more likely the threshold is kept a bit higher than couple of minutes to reducing false positives rates, not because of manual updates.

While it's true that Solutions Are Hard, that doesn't change the fact insurance is absolutely not meant to spread risk blindly.

Even early proto-insurance of seagoing merchants mutually carrying one-another's trade-goods on their various ships (in case one sank) still cared about how some cargoes were more valuable and some ships were more seaworthy.

They didn't just roll dice to do it.
I’m no the target user, I haven’t built games in years, but I loved watching the videos, and your approach of making a sprite editor for doing real work.

Many many years ago I built Quake 3D model editors. One of the features added in was being able to paint on the 3D model and have it update the original texture. The ability to make little tweaks to texture in-situ was really valuable to fine tune the art asset.

When I watched the video of Stipple Effect, I loved the live output window showing the result of the combined sprites.

The first thing that came to mind was “If I was the artist I would love to draw I the result window and have it update the input sprites for me”

I fully get the challenges with implementing that, but it might be a valuable addition to the workflow, being able to work on the art with one less abstraction level
