For rsync, you need to have 2 nodes on "internet" publicly reachable.

The USP of wush is to create a Virtual LAN like point-to-point secure network for your devices behind NAT or CG-NAT and then use rsync or cp or ssh.
Looks fine (subjective) and there is also ctags
why would someone self host? There is always resistance in managing server on our own.
So only people will buy such self hosted typeform alternatives are maybe the one who are using typeforms at scale, large businesses.

Nonetheless great design!
Lots of rounds and coding tests have two disadvantages - they consume a hiring company resources and they put-off good candidates. And about 2nd problem companies care less now because they still can find good candidates even if some of them will not jump though all hoops. Hiring being a big resource drain is still a problem of course.

> Do you work in cybersecurity

No, I don't, I just suffer from it. Mostly checklist driven development.

> you did a comparison of the solutions to choose one that is tailored to your needs and did an awful amount of tests to check if all your OSes and installed apps do not suffer from CS and worked on eradicating the false positives -- then please enlighten me how to make a massive change on 200+k machines bypassing all this effort.

You wouldn't bypass it, you would do your job. Because the vendor you've currently chosen has shown themselves to be utterly incompetent at basic tech stuff... So why the hell would you trust them for something as vital as cybersecurity? If they cannot be bothered to do even simple testing, why the hell do you think they'd be able to detect an intrusion? Or is it just to check a checkbox for someone, yes we have antivirus.

> Because the ones that actually use the product know its pros and cons.

Do they? They knew that Crowdstrike do zero testing and can and will push out updates that crash every system? If they did and they still chose them as a vendor, there are serious doubts around their competence too.

> I am rather emotional because such comments assume that people in cybersecurity are a bunch of idiots who have no idea about how to do their job

My comment was entirely about Crowdstrike and how their negligence and incompetence means the company should fold. I made no comment at all on cybersecurity professionals. But let's be real for a second - if a vendor of yours for something so critical shat the bed that much (again - no testing, pushing out an update that crashes everything for everyone for the second time in a few months), and your reaction is "it will be too complicated to move away from them, so let's just pray they improve"... That's not OK. And it's precisely because of this kind of reaction I wish the corporate death penalty on Crowdstrike. If their users cannot be trusted to make the correct choice and drop the insecure negligent vendor, the vendor should disappear and leave them with no choice.
This sounds terrible :-O

Mine is genetic, inherited from my maternal grandfather.

My mother was an artist, spent ages testing my colour range with a set of Pantone colour swatches, just out of curiosity rather than as an attempt to cure it. That's how I know I see shade better than colour - she would show me two swatches that differed slightly in colour and then two that differed only in shade (or shade/tone/tint to be accurate). I could tell the shade differences apart better than the colour differences.

So I'm not sure that early training would help. But it couldn't hurt
If driving on the right was a French idea, and even 'worse' Napoleon's idea, I think the answer to your question must be: "over my dead body" (in Tim Curry's voice) ;)

That being said, apparently the UK government did consider swapping in the late (swinging) 60s but eventually decided against it. This was probably considered following Sweden's own change in 1967.

The efficient market hypothesis, like many things in economics, has been named in a very ideological way (Fama himself agreed with that). First of all in has nothing to do with markets in the general economic sense, as it's merely about financial markets. And then it has nothing to do with “efficiency” in any sense (neither the common sense or the usual economic sense of the word).

In fact it's kind of the opposite of efficiency, because when the efficient market hypothesis is true, then it means that the market makers are losing money compared to the passive investors, and that's very inefficient: it gives nobody an incentive to perform the work of capital allocation and instead incentivize everyone to be freeloading on other people's work.
Why would the Shareholders want that?
More specifically they're jailing people who were at the riots but who claim they were only passive observers.

This is standard pre-trial detention because pretty serious crimes were committed. Obviously if its found at their trial that they didn't commit any crime then they won't be going to prison.
You’d be surprised—the founder of a huge company like Amazon is likely to be an outlier in terms of how many details he actually can know. The more you learn about the biographies of exceptional leaders the more you realize that many of them actually had a hard, concrete understanding of what their organizations did that often exceeded that of the people who actually did the work on a day to day basis. But part of being a founder is that by the time the company outgrows what you can personally keep track of, you’ve cultivated a core of people around you whom you’ve thoroughly vetted as trustworthy.

Besides, the goal here is not that Bezos knows every detail; it’s that he knows enough of the details that a subordinate isn’t going to be able to bullshit him. And once he has trusted subordinates with a long history of not bullshitting him, he can offload some of the “understanding details” to them, so however difficult it was to try and bullshit Bezos, it’s going to be even harder to bullshit a team of Bezos and a trusted lieutenant.

And ultimately you can develop a skill or a technique for not being bullshitted even without knowing any of the relevant details ahead of time. Just as there are techniques to bullshitting a person, like handwaving and glossing over inconsistent or inconvenient details, there are also counter-techniques for not letting people bullshit you, like demanding all of the inconvenient details that people seem to be glossing over or trying to hide.
I guess the best choice would be something built on Raspberry Pi? Like PiKVM, or TinyPilot (both frequently discussed on HN)?
P2P within LAN?

For anything outside your LAN, 2 nodes must need a negotiator(over internet) to know each other unless the nodes already have public dedicated IPs in which case they can talk to each other securely without the need of a negotiator.
The natural tendency is to tackle the hardest parts first, because it's intuitive that the low hanging fruit will be easy and therefore bring more satisfaction. However, I found that tackling what one knows first -- the low hanging fruit -- injects new energy and satisfaction and is critical to mustering the willpower to tackle the hard parts. I found out that solving the low hanging fruit often ends up offering insight into solving the hard problems, and thus finishing a project.
I think the virtue has to be part of a corporation’s founding principles. See benefit corporations (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_benefit_corporations) and B Corps (https://sustainabilitymag.com/articles/top-10-b-corps).
But now most people have wireless headphones.
And we also have "begrepp", which is also a spin on content and understanding it's content.
I picked on Gentoo because there's a vocal group of people who believe that unless you can trivially swap PID 1, your operating system is holding your freedom back. (And yes, I am saying this as someone who surgically swapped PID 1 to runit when Debian switched to systemd. I had more free time and less perspective.)

Let's put things differently. ssh-keygen(1) gives you the complete freedom to NOT have a passphrase on your private key, but asks you to provide one BY DEFAULT, which is the more secure choice. What you do with that choice is entirely up to you, but defaults matter, especially in security.

> Why?

The usual: lower cost (no hardware is thrown away, you only pay for fuel and maintenance) and rapid deployment (they are aiming for a turnaround time of 48 hours, so a fleet of only 2 or 3 could launch daily).

> * How?

Sled + wings replace the first stage. The sled lets it leave the ground going at Mach 0.7 with full tanks. The wings give it aerodynamic lift up to (I guess) about 30 km altitude, far more efficient than fighting gravity using the engines alone. That sets it apart from previous SSTO designs like the X-33 [1]
(Radian's CTO [2] is an alumnus of that project) which took off vertically and only used aerodynamic lift on the way back, like the Shuttle.

We Built Raggenie in 7 Days and Won the Falcon LLM Hackathon
Last month, our team dove headfirst into the Falcon LLM hackathon with a idea: to build a low-code RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) builder that small teams and businesses could use to create custom AI tools with their own data.

We called it RAGGENIE ( inspired by the magical Genie from Disney who could create things with a snap) , and with just five days on the clock, we knew we had to move fast. The result? A fully functional prototype that not only worked but also impressed the judges enough to win us first place!

RAGGENIE is designed to simplify the process of building RAGs, providing a low-code environment that makes it accessible even to those without deep technical expertise. The goal is to empower more teams to leverage AI in ways that are tailored to their unique needs.

But we’re not stopping here. We're now turning RAGGENIE into a full-fledged MVP, and in the spirit of collaboration and innovation, we plan to open-source it within the next two weeks.
Numbers I found are that global SAF production in 2023 was 6e8 liters, which corresponds to about 4000 transatlantic flights. So not a huge amount but also not nothing.

Have you tried it ? I worked part time for years (32 hours instead of 40), it's a completely different lifestyle. I had my wednesday off which meant I never worked more than two days in a row, when you go back to full time it's definitely significant, more than you would expect
Yeah picking Q4 in my previous comment wasn't fair (Apple didn't seem to release FY revenue by segment which is a bit annoying and iPod sales were generally much higher in Q1

No argument about what happened after the iPhone (specifically 3G + App Store) came out, but I'm not sure I fully agree with:

> What I'm saying is that the strategic focus and resources was not really on Mac because Apple leadership did not see growth there by itself unless it was as an attachment to the iPod.

By 2007 iPod's market share was ~72% in the US. The MP3 player market was pretty saturated and there was very little growth left (especially with increasing competition from (feature)phones). On the other hand Apple only had < 5% of the PC market (in the US) by 2006 so there was a lot of space to grow especially in the laptop market if if they started released more competitive products (by ditching PowerPC).

If we look at iPod + iPhone revenue around those years

2007 :

Mac: $10,314 (42.94%)

iPod+iPhone : $8,428 (35.09%)

2008 :

Mac: $14,276 (43.92%)

iPod+iPhone: $10,997 (33.82%)

Mac sales were actually growing faster even if we combine iPhone and iPod sales (which probably meant that a lot of people switched to other phones/mp3 players instead of buying an iPhone at least initially)

I think that's mainly related to the the PowerPC to Intel transition. It's not clear if the iPod really had a huge impact on Mac sales since Mac's market share started growing much faster when iPod had already peaked. Then after iPhone sales started accelerating Mac sales growth rates began declining which would imply that handheld and PC segments aren't necessarily related that much.

If Apple hadn't released the iPhone, Mac probably would have done just fine on its own and iPod sales would have remained stagnant or declined significantly (e.g. worldwide they weren't doing that well compared to Sony Ericsson's phone sales in 2006-2007, who IIRC leaned heavily into MP3/media in those in those years). It was pretty obvious that phones/smartphones were the future regardless of what Apple did (the transition would have just been quite a bit slower without them).

Of course (compared to you) I really have no clue what the internal sentiment inside Apple was a at the time so I'm just commenting on the market as a whole.

Macs work well in enterprise and get better with each major release. If you’re referring to a completely air gapped lab environment, then not so much; most of the management functions are designed around having outbound internet access.
Some good recommendations in the article.

Greppability is also helpful when you start scripting your editor. Vim has `includeexpr` and co. to implement some "intelligence" when trying to find declarations etc. This enabled me to write a couple line snippet that immediately could resolve Bazel starlark symbols even in "imported" (`load()`) files. At one point I realized I have better code navigation than any of my colleagues using IDEs.

This, and tools like ripgrep really help a lot. This is something that VS Code developers also realized when indlcluded ripgrep itself as their "backend" of searching in files.

Yeah because that's what those guys are advocating for. I know it is technically possible and appears economically approachable. But i'm afraid of it becoming a thing like cellulosic ethanol 15 years ago: no one doubts the possibility and yet no one seems to be able to do it in practice, on scale.

Now you're making me curious why people with ADHD (me included) tend to have a weird tendency for writing longer run-on sentences with commas, that on top of that use more parenthesis than average. Often nesting them, even. Because according to research our working memory is a little lower on average than neurotypicals, which seems to contradict this.

I’m curious to know more about your product. Currently, I’m using visualping.io to keep an eye on the website of my local housing community. They share important updates there, and it’s really helpful for me to get an email every few months instead of having to check their site every day.
For me it was to spend time during the day to just think. This could be going for a 20 minute walk, or just lying in bed for 10 minutes or so with no phone or whatever. Let yourself be bored.

This way when it came to bedtime my thoughts aren't racing because I've already allowed my brain time to process them.

I think for many people when they go to bed it is the first time in the day they're not distracting themselves, and have time to just think. So all the thoughts from the whole day, or days, come rushing in at once and you feel like your "mind is racing". If you do this earlier in the day you might find it a lot easier to get to sleep.

> He shows real data, you use ChatGPT

To be fair using only Q4 figures was a mistake, since iPod sales were always the highest in Q1 because of the holiday season (not as noticeable for Macs).

> ChatGPT to pull up (false) info we all know intuitively.

I summed some of those years from Apple's Quarterly reports (annoyingly they didn't seem to report by segment FY sales...) and they are more or less similar:

2006 :
Mac : $7,375 (49.01%)
iPod+iPhone : $7,676 (50.99%)

2007 :
Mac : $10,314 (55.02%)
iPod+iPhone : $8,428 (44.98%)

2008 :
Mac : $14,276 (56.48%)
iPod+iPhone : $10,997 (43.52%)

2009 :
Mac : $13,824 (43.93%)
iPod+iPhone : $17,657 (56.07%)

Having had a play with both Supermicro and ASRock Rack boards for workstations (admittedly, only H12's so not the "most recent" but from my cursory glance and newer boards, nothing has changed that much), SuperMicro board feels like they were made in 2005, not 2024. It is ridiculous in fact.

* No support for ACPI sleep. In 2024. Seriously.
* No support for 4 and 3 pins fans. 3 pins are 100% speed all the time.
* IPMI web interface straight out of 2010.
* NVME placement prevents you from using heatsinks.
* Tons of opaque jumpers on the board, with no board labelling.

The ASRock Rack equivalent board is amazing in comparison.

Wikipedia "Left- and right-hand traffic"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic

Historically, many places kept left, while many others kept right, often within the same country. There are many myths that attempt to explain why one or the other is preferred. About 90 percent of people are right-handed, and many explanations reference this. Horses are traditionally mounted from the left, and led from the left, with the reins in the right hand. So people walking horses might use RHT, to keep the animals separated. Also referenced is the need for pedestrians to keep their swords in the right hand and pass on the left as in LHT, for self-defence. It has been suggested that wagon-drivers whipped their horses with their right hand, and thus sat on the left-hand side of the wagon, as in RHT. Academic Chris McManus notes that writers have stated that in the year 1300, Pope Boniface VIII directed pilgrims to keep left; however, others suggest that he directed them to keep to the right, and there is no documented evidence to back either claim.
It's actually quite easy! Of course, I wrote my own firmware for the keyboard I use so I'm biased, but most mechanical keyboards out there support QMK/VIA these days which makes it quite easy to create custom layouts and "layers" that activate based on what modifier keys are pressed.

Creating that firmware was one of the most fun and satisfying projects I've worked on in a long time.

I was just reading a book called "The First Indians" by Tony Joseph in which they were discussing an ultra-conserved word "tul" which means "to push" in literally all Dravidian languages.

It took on the meaning "to write" in Mesopotamia, because writing cuneiform required "pushing" the stylus into the soft clay.

They use this difference in meaning (along with genetic and archeological research) to date the separation of cultures.
As a one-off thing you personally do, yeah that’s probably okay. Turning that into a product that you then offer to others is where the line is drawn, in my opinion.
