Yes, _and_ having recently learned it and created my team's new board, the first thing I did (and you can to!) is disable all the extra features and issue types besides epices and issues. Kinda simplifies things.
Lack of manual journals would be a non-starter, I am actually not clear how a business could possibly run their books without manual journals.

An example: you make something that uses 5 inputs. I have inventory and cost of goods sold accounts for each of those inputs, but my invoices out to customers only reference the final product. This is where ERPs add insanely complex inventory management solutions. However, the simple way to deal with it instead is to use a manual journal to reconcile your inventory and cost of goods sold accounts monthly or however often you like.
I don't know about you but I find the single command $ sudo apt install $x to be much faster, offers wider range of software, more reliable, less fragile, easier to network, and more secure when it comes to running applications on an Ubuntu VPS. The only thing the normal way of running applications is less good at (compared to this dependency manager manager) is "Zero downtime".
About two years ago, when we deployed our datacenter, I insisted for IPv6 first.

All out management network is IPv6 only, all kvm, switches, routers...

It was a pain and gives nearly no practical advantage (at the time), but the motivation was to make everyone "intimate" with IPv6. We learned a lot and we even discovered some implementation bugs (for example, Cisco default link local address is not /64 and this is not compliant with more recent RFC and will make them unable to communicate with BSD systems).

Now we have IPv6 everywhere and everybody from dev to sysadmin is aware of IPv6 and we start to see some real advantages. VPN are easier to manage, routing is easier, firewall is easier, clustering, failover... everything is "cleaner".

We still have IPv4 (dual stack) on some servers, but about 80% of them are IPv6 only with DNS64/NAT64.
Sounds like a go getter willing to get their hands dirty.

> That got me thinking about whether people will pay more for a robotaxi than a human-driving taxi (once they are more widespread and people have gotten a little used to the idea). I feel like I would.

I wouldn't. It wouldn't avoid robotaxis in general, but I certainly wouldn't pay any sort of premium for them. I just want to get from point A to point B.
No, that still violates thermodynamics.

An Interesting Zero Knowledge Use Case?
Preface: I’m a student (in my 30’s, went back to school for an MS in CS), so I view this mostly as a learning exercise.

I’ve been curious about crypto for a while, and recently started learning about ZK Proofs, Plonk, SNARKs, zkvms, etc.

I wonder if an immediate application could be something along the lines of Bot proof/proof of personhood, which seems to be a difficult problem and appears to be getting more difficult with AI (though correct me if I’m wrong). When I think about it, truly proving someone is a bot seems difficult without meeting them in real life and sitting side by side with them while they interact online. And yet, what if each of us could monitor our entire Internet activity i.e. locally store the packets we send and receive, and then provide a ZK-Proof of this history to anyone who asks during a login process. This would exist at the protocol level perhaps, or maybe built in to the browser. But the whole idea is that certain packets would be impossible for a bot to generate. Perhaps it is logging in to your bank, or paying your electricity bill, or logging into your health portal and using health data. Anything that connects to the real world. You would never want to show internet strangers/services your bank statement or EMR information, but a ZK-Proof accomplishes exactly what we are looking for in this case - proof without revealing the underlying data.

An alternative idea could be that the browsing history of a person might look very different than the history of a bot, thus creating a sort of digital fingerprint, though this seems like it could be faked with enough time and effort.

I’m curious what folks think, especially those with experience/expertise in the ZK/crypto space. Thanks!
Ask HN: How do I monitize this?
There have been plenty of directory services lately. During that same period, I also launched indieproducts.io. Luckily, it has grown organically, and I get at least two to three submissions every day (I approve one product a day).

Other than simply charging for submissions, what other ways could I monetize this service?

e.g.
- Top spots(top 1 to 3 rows) for x number of weeks or months?
- Write blogs and YouTube reviews for the paid submission?
- What else could I offer as a paid service?
I guess that might depend on how much you trust Musk.

> Find some specialization/niche you're interested in software wise, and start learning + building in public about it.

This is a very different and mostly non-overlapping skillset compared to focused product engineering at a company. I believe it's a good way to get you there if you have the time and drive to develop those skills. But then if you do are you going to be satisfied with the prize being a job where you don't use them?

I'm not discounting this as effective, I just don't think it can work for very many people for several different reasons.
Looks like market is correcting against translators[1].

Usually, when a recession(or hypothetical one) occurs, expensive work forces can’t be paid adequately or adjustments become expensive, so employers try to suppress wage by doing risky layoff[2]. That then becomes a trend for other insignificant players to also follow. After a layoff, expectation for inflation adjustment disappears because one has bills to pay, family to feed, hence desperation leads to wage stagnation.

Then suddenly after 1-2 years hiring boom begins and the wage skips a few cycle of correction but most with decent experience can command good pay despite lower adjustments.

One problem with such play is that, big players can hold out for few years before the dire consequences of the layoff begin to emerge, but before things get serious they start hiring again. The sad part is that, small players are screwed because they are now left with consequences and expense of hiring new workforce.

Also this time it is not only about wage suppression, a massive covert selling of “AI as replacement for those pesky expensive code monkeys” is being peddled(if you look between the lines carefully on layoff/poor productivity/ ai increases productivity play). This will have consequences much dire for the smaller players scrambling to drink the AI coolaid without understanding how it helps, because by the time money had been wasted, the cost will be manyfold to recover the productive workforce and some will fail and become insolvent, but AI will become common place and just another tool like class generator, advanced IDE, no-code tools, uml-to-class generator.

AI(we call these LLMs now) of current generation is expensive and it needs massive investments to become viable(think of main frames of older decades), but we are past the age of when saying something will be useful and getting money because most business saw similar(blockchain/no-code/outsourcing/offshoring) trends before. So the same old play, “productivity gains with this cool tech minus the cost of a human” gets big management excited. Once investment keeps flowing, more development and innovation will take place in AI(LLMs) space and it will get cheaper eventually(mainframe to your smartphone) but until then peddling is needed to fund these gambles.

I see for what the trend it is, I hope others see it too.

[1] I call people learning to code(without formal education on the topic) and then write rote code on what they learned as translator. Code-Monkey is very insulting and should not be a term we use against other human beings.

[2] Like I said, it is short term risky because if things go south too fast they can hire immediately and of course new hires usually have 150% more productivity on their first 6month to a year so any lost productivity of the layoff is adequately compensated quickly.
I will really miss Pivotal. Looks like my org will shift to Jira. People talk a lot about how Jira is so customizable to the point of it being problematic. But would it be possible to customize it to work somewhat like Pivotal, I wonder?
Well, at least in Germany, the "profession" field is a free text field, there are no codes. The official is only interested in that whatever you are working as closely matches the original profession on your visa, so you can easily argue that your new title of "SRE Engineer" matches the original "Software Engineer", which they will accept as long as you are a working person in the IT Field.
Still feels like too many columns, too many states.

Show HN: Gcode pattern generator for space filling curves, grids and more
The goal is to produce patterns directly in G-code for use on a machine with minimal editing. Currently, the output is compatible with LinuxCNC, but I plan to extend support to other machine types as well.

I also intend to add additional patterns beyond those currently available. This trial run is designed to gauge interest in this kind of tool.

Enough space to store all of my mom's whatsapp video chains. Sweet. :o)
A lot of this model is due to the churn of VC companies toxic entry into overtaking and consuming companies... They often force out old company leadership, create & impose hostile policies and requirements on employees the make them leave so that operations will be left as bare-bones and over-stressed operations that just serve to feed investor profits... Our current IT ecosystem, especially in the contracting world is run mostly by finance experts rather than tech visionaries, and it's showing in the outcomes, this is why we don't see truly disruptive inventions like Twitter and iPhones anymore... And why monthly subscriptions are swooping their way into everything, even basic tools like calculator apps, and car starters and seat heating... Foolishness & Insanity.
Pretty much; might or might not; "suggest" may be a better word. It means there may be something to check into.

What OTHER advantages, disadvantages, preparation levels, etc. are working for and/or against that group?

Can those factors account for the differential?

What is the groups' actual relative performance in the situation (i.e., do they tend to perform at|above|below the level to which they have risen, e.g., legacy college admissions with "Gentleman's Cs" are performing below)?

And so forth.

The point is that statistical disparities are not conclusive, but are most often indicative of some kind of structural favoritism, like smoke to fire. Not always, and you can always cherry-pick some counter-example, but the default assumption is that it merits investigation.

I did install a more recent version of MacOS on the thing but only to see if I could since I do not use MacOS, preferring Linux or, to be more specific, 'Debian' on all my systems. Performance is much better with Linux, I do not need to fight the vendor who wishes for me to buy new hardware. With Linux the thing does what I want, when I want it without telling any third party about my activities. I also have a Macbook Air ('keyboard broken and display problems' which were quickly fixed) on which I run Debian, the same is true there.

> Instead what we're getting with this message is "we want to save 10 billion and everything that isn't 18A go-to-production is on the chopping block

This comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41588241) explains the financial predicament pretty well with regards to saving money. Intel is far more "wasteful" than their competitors, and they cannot survive that way.

Intel fabs is set for a loss of $8B this year. I believe next year the forecasted loss is over $6B. They need to both get more customers to increase the revenue, and save money. The former alone will not get them to profitability.

> Maybe instead of cutting to hit arbitrary financial performance numbers that they set for themselves in the hopes of impressing investors, they could explain to the investors why 18A is such a game changer and how Intel will capitalize on it to regain their crown.

They do that every time they talk to the press. Wall Street understands it already. There's just skepticism that they will get as many customers as they need.
This is false. Solar panels do not violate the laws of thermodynamics. Generally the sun is quite a bit hotter than the environment in which the solar panels operate, which are the correct temperatures to compare in this case.

"harvesting energy only from the fastest of them" actually does violate thermodynamics and, if possible, would constitute the biggest revolution in physics in all of history.

Related: Overton Window

"The Overton window is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse.

The term is named after the American policy analyst Joseph Overton, who proposed that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences.[2][3] According to Overton, the window frames the range of policies that a politician can recommend without appearing too extreme to gain or keep public office given the climate of public opinion at that time."

While originally about politics, I feel it can be applied to many other aspects of humanity and maybe is just a specialized form of the normalization of deviance.

>space cone

>light cone

cone

outside of an event horizon the 3d projection of a `light cone` (all possible spacetime causality/light/info could observe) would be an omni-directional sphere - your own observable universe, essentially - composed of ever-reddening beam of causality, being drag thru the 4th dimension, time...which results in a cone

but inside of an event horizon, that cone is actually an ever-narrowing beam in an ever-increasing gravitational field, slowing on the 4-d axis too. all ending in one 'point'.

my point being that the waist is infinitesimally, but not actually infinitely, small.

The cylinder I referred to is the outgoing side of the light cones at the horizon. The horizon itself is a lightlike surface. So the distinction you appear to be trying to draw here is simply invalid for a black hole horizon.

hawking radiation evaporates larger black holes more than smaller black holes. even if not the most testable (understatement), 4/3 * pi * r^3 where r gets smaller infinitesimally is a cone when plotted over the 4th dimension.

outside of the event horizon the "light cone" would "be" a "barely-parallel" "cylinder" yes.

the universe with all of its forever-unreachable parties outside each others sphere of causality would be like a 4-d porcupine ball.

but it doesn't look like any actual physical model that I'm aware of.

these aren't exactly intuitive geometries XD

it takes a bit of pressure for an angle grinder to cut, even when you're cutting soft material like wood. accidental contact with a spinning disc would give you a nasty flesh wound, but you wouldn't lose your fingers or anything.

the real danger is the disc breaking up at 10K RPM and shrapnel flying in your face. you might easily lose an eye.
>> The seeds of this have been sown...

> The disappointing logic there is the idea that historical conflict of any kind, anywhere on Earth, could possibly "seed" an atrocity like Oct 7

If you don't recognize causes, then you will be baffled by effects. It has been clear to observers of the Middle East that the status quo that Netanyahu has created was violent and untenable. It gave the appearance of peace only because most people remained ignorant of the underlying brutality of the situation. If you think Oct. 7 was frightening, what do you think about the generations of children that have been killed and maimed by IDF soldiers and settlers? The terrorist invasion of Oct. 7 was terrible and unacceptable, but that does not make what Israel did before or after ok. The fact that you cannot recognize that Israel has also crossed all lines, means that you are incapable of being a part of the solution.
Right, but how much work is done when in the office. You might have the same amount of downtime in the office than at home, but now that down time can't be spent doing something else.

I've been playing around with this workflow too - I'm using a "streaming" setup with Whisper (chunking samples to start transcribing while a user is still talking), which pipes to Mistral 8B as a conversation arbiter to walk through a preset IVR tree which calls tools etc. The LLM isn't responding on its own though, just selecting nodes in the tree with canned TTS outputs.

There's a "pause length" parameter that tries to decide whether a user has finished talking before it passes transcripts to the LLM, nothing fancy. If you have any recs I'm still working through how to properly handle the audio input and whether a prompting setup can manage the LLM with enough fidelity to scrap the IVR tree. It works decently well, but lots of room for improvement

So we had a team with around 40 devs and we switched to a component library successfully. After 1.5 years there is now 10% legacy code still available, but mostly we are good.

Some of the steps that we undertook and are not mentioned in other comments.

- We had a migration team set up with 1 developer and the team lead from each team.

- Arranged weekly migration sessions for 2 hours where each team would pick some components and migrate it.

- Made sure that it is the joint responsibility of all the people to maintain the library and not sure a single platform team. This way the teams will at least have more affinity to the components that they have made.

Overall I found the cross team weekly migration sessions to be extremely effective, in such scenarios once people know that it is going to be done on regular basis and it is important, they start giving more weightage mentally.
A buddy of mine used Trinux RTK and Wind River RTLinux in a commercial audio console product back in the 00's. There were several efforts back then.
For a low dimensional space, I think their diagrams make sense. Like, when working with large industrial machines factors that effect safety are probably how close you are to the machine and how fast everything is going and with what urgency.

Even here they have a section on how the safety performance boundary is fuzzy and dynamic.

I wonder though what things look like with super high dimensions. When there are a 100 different things that go into whether or not you're being safe. That boundary's fuzzy and dynamic nature might extend clear across the entire space. And the fact that failures happen due to rare occurrences suggests that we're not starting at a point of safety but actually starting in a danger zone that we've just been lucky enough not to encounter failures for.

100% unit test coverage comes to mind (even for simple getters). Where some might see a slide towards danger as the coverage goes down, another sees more time to verify the properties that really matter. And I don't see why we can't get into the scenario where both are right and wrong in incomparable ways.
