People on HN can probably be assumed to want to go past JEDEC 2x48 GB RAM every time, I, again, wouldn't argue what HN should do as what the average consumer should be expected to do though. Much like I don't expect to recommend the average HN reader get the 6 core variant but it doesn't mean it's not as popular to general consumers due to price.

Same with "64 GB being easily used", true or not it's still not the capacities most are buying in new builds (32 seems to be the new common target for gamers, with 16 being the new minimum there, for example)
Would you be able to provide an example? I'm not doubting your experience, just incredibly curious since I had the opposite experience.
The ability to listen to all the messages in a channel without tapping, as if I’m listening to the messages on my answering machine, would do be nice.
Eh - that depends on how you do it, right?

If everyone in your ‘private actor’ group wears uniforms, acts in the open (ie marches in formation, operates tanks instead of setting boobie traps, etc), and then attacks military operations directly it’s going to require an extreme amount of squinting to call that group terrorists.

Whoever is running it would probably get a pretty fair title of warlord. But they’re different.

At the same time, it a gov’t organization runs around bombing civilian targets in a campaign to scare everyone in their opponents country out of their mind, pretty hard to not call them terrorists.

I tried the freelancer route a couple months back and it failed miserably. I think maybe I just made the wrong hire, but I spent about $10k and ended up ending the contract early because the freelancer had nothing to show after 2 months besides a todo app (not kidding). Endless excuses and empty promises; communication was terrible. I then went and hired a well-known dev shop for a different project, and 2 weeks in, the project is almost finished. I'll likely hire them for the failed project as well.

Suffice it to say, I vote having a dev shop build it for $50k. But I guess you also want a co-founder, so there's that too. Nothing worse than bad co-founder fit, though; it'll rip your company to shreds -- trust me. Be very picky, and make sure you're 100% sure before you give anybody co-founder status.

Neat! I will add this to my toolbelt.

BTW a complimentary tool I've used in the past is depcheck, it is an npm package that removes unused dependencies from your npm package.json file. Smaller package.json files means faster "npm install" and also smaller docker files.

Fair point, and thanks for flagging that bug! Will work to fix that.
Nice work Andrew. Nice experiencing something new on the web with simple old school cool.
I really don’t like how both Brave and Firefox among others are also moving towards advertisement and analytics. I don’t care about whether it’s privacy preserving; don’t send any requests I did not approve. I have OpenSnitch installed and manually whitelist connections based on domain name. It gets annoying but I think it’s worth it.

Also, there are enough Firefox forks such that most of what Mozilla does won’t really affect me. Librewolf is my favorite thus far.

On one hand, I strongly agree that some mitigations are personally achievable and that this is smart to do. Personally, I preferentially buy natural fibers (cheaper than you might think if you thrift 'em), and I cold wash and hang dry the polyester garments I do own

However, I am also wary of the push to view mitigations or "consumer behavior" generally as a means to actually deal with this kind of problem at scale. Like the whole carbon footprint thing BP was pushing for a while. Still in the public lexicon, doesn't do jack shit about real emissions at scale, but great for gotchas on activists. We have significant poison control and food quality control regulations because people can't really develop all the expertise necessary to vet all their own stuff, and it's a huge drain on society to make them do so rather than just solve that coordination problem centrally. Also, monopolistic consolidation has made even very organized boycotts dubiously feasible in forcing change in companies who respond more to their investors than their customers.

To me, governments exist to solve exactly this kind of problem, even though there are many other areas in which I would like them to mind their own business. In this case a lot of why petrochemicals are so cheap is because the cost of doing business for oil companies is heavily subsidized, so removing those subsidies wouldn't even require a new tax, and that money could be productively spent on lots of stuff, like maybe medical research even

Opentelmetry is definitely a good thing that will help reduce vendor lock-in and exploitative practices from some vendors when they see that the customer is locked in due to the proprietary code instrumentation. In addition, opentelemetry autoinstrumentation is fantastic and allows one to get started with zero code instrumentation.

Going back to the basics - 12 factor app principles must also be adhered to in scenarios where opentelemtry might not be an option for observability. e.g. Logging is not very mature in Opentlemetry for all the languages as of now. Sending logs to stdout provides a good way to allow the infrastructure to capture logs in a vendor neutral way using standard log forwarders of your choice like fluentbit and otel-collector. Refer - https://12factor.net/logs

OTLP is a great leveler in terms of choice that allows people to switch backends seamlessly and will force vendors to be nice to customers and ensure that enough value is provided for the price.

For those who are using kubernetes you should check the opentelemtry operator, which allows you to autoinstrument your applications written in Java, NodeJS, Python, PHP and Go by adding a single annotation to your manifest file. Check an example here of sutoinstrumentation -

/-> review (python)
/

frontend (go) -> shop (nodejs) -> product (java)
\
\-> price (dotnet)

Isn’t this what tree-shaking is for?

That’s a genuine question — I’m only passingly familiar with tree-shaking so I may have a misunderstanding of what it does.
Make better software that solves problems. It doesn’t have to be new, just cheaper, faster, or a better UX. Offer your services to a local small business that is running on Excel spreadsheets and duct tape. Provide paid support for an open source project that you help maintain and develop. There are tons of opportunities outside Silicon Valley.

How can we trust Open Sources power but doubt Socialism's potential to unite us?
I believe the Open Source movement, and the community built around it, has demonstrated that a form of collaborative socialism can work. The notion that people only contribute to projects for monetary gain or self-interest is simply not true. Open Source has shown that individuals will work on solutions—whether to address global challenges or explore possibilities—for the collective good of the community. This has been proven over many years of sustained, voluntary contributions.

However, within the Open Source community, the currency is knowledge or the value of your project’s output. The challenge is: how can we extend this model to all aspects of life? Could people find joy in activities like cooking, farming, or construction to the point that they would willingly contribute their skills to society, not for profit but for shared benefit? Of course, doing this day in and day out could lead to burnout and would leave room for those looking to exploit the system. Grifters will exist in any society, regardless of the economic framework.

I recall reading a tweet from a bricklayer who said he loved his work and would gladly do it for free, but not every single day. Perhaps we could move away from rigid specialization and embrace a more flexible system where people contribute in multiple areas. This shift could distribute the workload more evenly, preventing burnout and creating efficiencies across society. For example, before Git, we had numerous private code repositories, each with inefficiencies and barriers. Linus Torvalds recognized a need for change, and while Git benefited his Linux project, he made it open source for everyone. He could have privatized it to fund his work, but he didn't. The community saw its value, adopted it, and improved it.

Imagine applying this Open Source philosophy to housing. Our current approach to housing is inefficient—what innovations in materials, construction, and design could arise if we treated housing like an open-source project? The same could be applied to farming, transportation, sanitation, and power generation.

What does the community think?

That's not serious. From the Tor official blog:

> Non-U.S. Governments (7.5% of total revenue)

> Foundations (6.4% of total revenue)

> Corporations (3.4% of total revenue)

> Other (0.6% of total revenue)

Ironically, most of these same sectors in the same governments have strong need to be protected from spying themselves.

So in many cases it's really a case of "we want a monopoly on secrecy".

Which should be a massive red flag for everyone, from left to right, from liberal to conservative, from anarchist to communist and so on. But somehow isn't picked up by any of these. I presume because they all believe somehow they either won't be targeted or will be exempt?

I definitely saw the overhiring with junior devs, but I also saw those junior guys take over a couple of shops just by sheer numbers.

They were more willing and able to deliver shit fast (which management obviously loved) at the expense of making terrible architecture choices that really crippled productivity in the medium/long run.

So, from management's perspective, you have like... a bunch of younger cheaper people getting more done. What's not to love?
Keep that up. I'm sure you've been told, but balances like that often only occur once; if you ever drop off the cocktail, it might not work again when you try to recover.
I worry about when the line gets crossed, when there are more non-science group and outweighs the making-progress group.

I'm just surprised that in the modern world, it isn't 99%-1%.

"Being cheap" is a pressure from management to increase production in order to avoid economic failure. "Being lazy" is an effort from frontline workers to improve efficiency and avoid being swamped by production demand. One of the points of the diagram is that these partially cancel each other out, but the net effect of the addition of these two "vectors" is to push the system towards the failure boundary.
Brief excerpt re the second term:

A detailed analysis of the organizational culture at NASA, undertaken by sociologist Diane Vaughan after the [Challenger shuttle destruction] accident, showed that people within NASA became so much accustomed to an unplanned behaviour that they didn’t consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceeded their own basic safety rules. This is the primary case study for Vaughan’s development of the concept of normalization of deviance.

Original comment:

"I don't get it... Zionism is a colonizing ideology (recover the Holy Land), and Israel is colonizing Palestine. What's the problem with noting that?"

Reply:

The problem is that Adolf Hitler exterminated 5 million Jewish people. Obviously, the rest of the Jewish population didn't want to be treated as second-class citizens in Europe. So, they want a home. Do you not want shelter?

Edit: I understand my answer doesn't directly address your concern but it does take precedence in my opinion.

Consider this, when you say "Israel is colonizing Palestine" it implies that Israel has a home base and this is an external arm. It implies that this is just an extracurricular thing for Israel to do, not a fight for its survival which it clearly is.

Instead, you could say that "Many Jewish people are fighting for a home."
The problem is: who gets to define "low value?"

Management typically doesn't have the engineering chops or in-the-trenches experience to properly discern "low value" engineers from "high value" engineers.

The fact that a Pro costs the same as previous generations Pro Max, and Pro Max is 25% over that, might also have something to do with it.

My wife still has iPhone X and as much as she's loving it, she wants some of the AI features for her hobbies and work. When we saw the price here in Eastern Europe we almost had a jaw drop moment. We're still buying it but... frak.

Apple is very openly abusing its monopoly at this point and no, don't tell me there are good competitors. Even the Galaxy S24 Ultra doesn't have as good a software.

Speaking of which, anybody can recommend a good gallery app that has Apple Photos' features?
It's really sad to see how far Intel has sunk, back in the good old days they'd lay off 10,000 at the drop of a hat.

To be clear, I would love to be able to install macOS on any PC. As a former Mackintosh user, I'm not excited about drivers, but I'd love to see it nonetheless.

But pushing Apple to make iOS available on other phone hardware is a massive undertaking. iOS is developed for a very constrained hardware set. When you move away from that and the optimizations thereof, what's left? It's a major distraction, you'll either get a much worse experience on other hardware, or the general polish and performance of iOS takes a nose dive. I don't see why Apple would spend the money to support this the way it would need to be supported rather than leave.

Similar but different. Tree-shaking generally means excluding unused stuff when bundling for production. This actually deletes unused stuff from your source files, i.e. more for code tidiness.

It's interesting that the ARF post completely skips mentioning Eastern Front (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Front_(1941)) which both revolutionized sim/war games on computers, and the interfaces such as a smooth scrolling map. Compare to other wargames of that time such as https://www.mobygames.com/game/14793/tac-tactical-armor-comm..., early "TUI" text interfaces.

He also had early experiments with simulations of interacting systems with Scram (manage a power grid) and Energy Czar (manage a country's energy policy during an energy crisis).

These showed his deft handling of cramming complexity into the limited resources of early 8-bit systems. Balance of Power was more mature than these, but even these early games showed massive promise of what Sim games could become, and what Chris Crawford could create.

Not related to the content, but as a port of "spice" -- being from New Mexico, we would usually refer to a spicy pepper as (eg green) "chile," or a chunky dish with beans and meat as (eg Texas) "chili." Looks like the AP Stylebook agrees, though Webster's makes it seem less clear, so you can probably get away with it either way.
Look into the history of blind clicking/echo location, there are many reports on it like this:

Cool, let's go further back than that - but I'll start it off with putting a thought exercise forward to you, with this scenario:

Due to your compassion for the displaced Palestinians, most of which who's homes have been obliterated - if they weren't "killed" themselves,

What % of your assets/land/property that you own will you be willing to give the Palestinian citizens to support them after this atrocity?

Remember, in this scenario you're not being forced to give this - it's out of the goodness of your heart. What percentage would you give?

How about 54% of everything you own?

And so in conclusion, I'm most curious if you will avoid answering because you'll see my point and your answer will out you as a hypocrite?

I'll have followup questions if you're willing to engage and not fearful to engage in discussion.
