I'm fortunate enough to have only taken trains in places where there's an understanding that people actually... really actually do need to get to where they're going.

If your network doesn't have any sort of resilliance to failure, not much to do really.

(Aside: for the longest time I was always a bit miffed at France's train network, because it's mostly "go to Paris"/"move away from Paris" and very few sideways connections. Germany's transit map has always looked more evenly spread out! But every German I know who tries to take train transport complains about this lack of resiliance and now I'm pretty convinced that the network is too thinly spread out)

Correction: Bedrock is not freemium. There's also nothing wrong with Bedrock. It allows for cross-platform play. The minecoins/purchases are available in the menus, but they're never pushed in-game. The experience is very similar to Java.

Also, Java and Bedrock both have Realms (the managed "server" option you referred to).
I’m saying to whatever extent they occur, they are just quantum interactions. There’s a path to reproducing them with engineering.

It’s odd to say “reproduce quantum interactions” but remember to the extent they exist in the brain, they also behave as finicky/noisy quantum interactions. They’re not special brain quantum things.

That's a simplified version of what a point cloud stores, but only works with cubes then.

A point cloud is basically a 3D texture of colors and densities, so a raymarching algorithm can traverse it adding densities it collides with to find the final fragment color. That's how realistic fog and clouds are rendered in games nowadays, and it's very fast, except they use a noise function instead of a scene model.
I've seen this specific example used to speed up find-next, but it's not like the false positives are frequent enough to bother.

One thing I don't understand about Durable Objects yet is where they are physically located.

Are they located in the region that hosted the API call that caused them to be created in the first place?

If so, is there a mechanism by which a DO can be automatically migrated to another location if it turns out that e.g. they were created in North America but actually all of the subsequent read/write traffic to them comes from Australia?
If you're in #1, you talk to CloudFlare. They need some great customer stories and they have some great engineers that are most likely willing to work with you on how this will work/help you with bugs in exchange for some success stories. If it gets proven out this turns into a service relationship, but early on it's a partnership.
It sounds like it would preclude doing any actual work with LispWorks, yes. But maybe someone at Harlequin will take interest and fix whatever the LispWorks bug is, or in the unlikely case that it's a CL-Forth bug, propose a fix. (It could be a CL-Forth bug, because Common Lisp allows you to turn off safety.) It doesn't preclude doing any actual work with CL-Forth, though, because you can use better Common Lisps.
I don't use any tools for that. I did try an online ascii-drawing tool one afternoon, but the results weren't compact enough to be useful for programming comments.

Contrary to the way I worded my comment, my 'diagrams' are typically no more than text with perhaps a box-drawing unicode character here or there. But even drawing a simple tree, tabs can mess up important details.

I use `ii' and `jj' etc for all my loop counters, because it's easier to search for in any editor.

Searching for `i' requires learning the local editor's way of marking word boundaries, otherwise it'll highlight every instance of the letter `i' which is useless.

Searching for `ii' has less noise because very few words have that sequence in them, and `jj' is even rarer.
I do like concatenating files with cat, and if a file has its final line not ending in newline symbol the result is ugly.

“It’s in the high teens in the number of launches,” Hawkins said. That’s driven, she suggested, about concerns about boiloff, or loss of cryogenic liquid propellants, at the depot. [...] Critics of NASA’s selection of Starship for HLS have pointed to the number of launches as a weakness in the architecture. The Government Accountability Office, in its rejection of protests by Blue Origin and Dynetics of the Starship HLS award in 2021, noted that SpaceX required 16 launches overall for a Starship lunar lander mission. Elon Musk, chief executive of SpaceX, disagreed, calling the need for 16 launches “extremely unlikely” in an August 2021 social media post. He said a “max of 8” tanker launches should be needed to fuel the Starship lander, adding it could be as few as four.

This already happens. The most common AC repair needed is a new capacitor. It's a $20 part.

I've never had any crashing or big issues with borg, and it's generally considered to be faster than restic. I'm sure there are more recent benchmarks, but as of Dec 2022, borg wins by a fair bit [1].

For installation, I set up a dedicated virtualenv for borg and borgmatic installation then symlink into /usr/local/bin. This is also automated with ansible and has worked on every distro and version I've used. The latest version does require python 3.9.0, but that's already 4 years old.

It's not exactly gradually. I would call it "aggressively". At least for vets.
Maybe if someone is doing shotty analysis or is a narcissist. It's unlikely anyone knows what their peers are making without estimates relative to the median. It's also unlikely someone can even self-evaluate accurately without employment/comp data. Even something like levels.fyi doesnt go into actual attributes but basically what level someone is at a company. As an example, how does the defined benefits package in the military compare with the 401k model, especially considering for someone leaving the military and getting into the 401k model late (reduced compounding)? In many cases, a rational person in that sort of situation may see that the lower pay might not actually result in lower total compensation.

The real point is that you can still pull competent professionals under $200k because that's an attractive number to the majority of cyber warfare operators or cyber security professionals being that it's at least $50k over the median for either. Reducing that to $150k is still somewhat to slightly over the medians for either, and thus still a financially attractive number to the majority of the candidate pool. Money isn't the real issue here, it's the other restrictions, culture, etc.
When the drama first started, I thought @photomatt’s plan might be to build ACF directly into WordPress (and maybe get rid of Gutenburg).

The main takeaway from Scott's commentary is that the chopsticks allow the ommission of landing legs and all their subsequent systems and saves a ton of weight. The added risk to dial this technique in is likely worth it in the long run from a sustainability stand point.
Durable Objects have long term storage. They get hydrated from that storage, so in that sense, they can move to any Cloudflare DS. However, there is no API call to move a Durable Object. It has to have no connections and then gets recreated in the DS nearest to the next/first connection. Memory gets dropped when that happens, storage survives. (This is slightly out of date as they have some nuanced hibernation stuff that is recent).

With the path Apple/Google are taking it looks like Microsoft will be the best bet for quite a while still.
The thing with Microsoft is that while they lack taste and have some nasty corporate behavior, they are less greedy than the others and are willing to work with their customers more, respond to needs/demands better.
Oh, and they don't try to have a captive hardware market, that is a massive plus.

The reason the "normies" "choose" Microsoft is because it's the only choice that make somewhat sense from a financial standpoint if you don't care that much.
There is a whole mythology about Apple hardware lasting longer and all but, in my experience, the reverse is true and you get much more for your money if you opt for a standard computer that happens to come with Windows.

Linux would have a fight chance with better hardware/software support but dev/manufacturers can be arsed because it's a chicken and egg problem (there are also too many variations of what is Linux, so that doesn't help).

With the iPhone success, Apple had a chance to gain market share for "real" computer in a way that would have long lasting effect both for business and consumer support, instead they went full greed mode and found many clever ways to close even more a platform that was already not the most open, while had the same time selling weak computer that are clearly lacking for the price, very often with terrible engineering decision (like their new Apple Silicon iMac, already having issues, less than 4 years after release, what a joke).

My problem is that what I input (and observe!) doesn't match what's persisted. Worse still, editors lie about it to me until I close the file and reopen it. And just to really turn the knife, various programs will then throw a fit that a character that I did not input and my editor lies about not being present, is present. I hope it's appreciable why I find this frustrating.

I expect my editor to do what I say, not secretly(!) guess what I might have wanted, or will potentially want sometime in the future. Having to insert a newline while concatenating files is a chore, but a predictable annoyance. Having to hunt for mystery bytes, maybe less so.

I agree with the technical points in your post and disagree with its venom.

It was 6 months to the next launch after he "almost set the entire Starship project back a year." And after the next launch, which didn't destroy the pad, it was 4 months to the next launch. So maybe he set it back two months. Maybe.

He also came up with building it out of stainless steel, which worked, and catching it at the launch tower. But I'm sure you know better.

Ask HN: Have you altered your life plans due to coming AI developments?
The heads of the major AI labs (Dario Amodei, Sam Altman) including multiple now Nobel laureates (Demis Hassabis, Geoffrey Hinton), and many others have all echoed a similar sentiment over the past year in their public communications:

1. AGI is coming

2. It will completely change society, the meaning of work and the structure of our economy, perhaps making human labor irrelevant, if it does not destroy us

3. It likely will come in 2-10 years

Hinton himself said that he plans to "get his affairs in order", as he believes humanity only has 4 years left. If you agree with them, you would have to concede that any plans you make with a time horizon longer than that window until AGI will be completely upended and perhaps made irrelevant. If so, have you considered this and has it altered any of your plans for the near future?

If you have not, is it because you do not believe in one or more of the 3 points above, or is it because you feel since nobody really knows how it will go down, it is pointless to worry, fret or change things?
>are all things that would not have been possible for the author to evangelise about anywhere more than 5 years ago

So you are complaining OpenBSD is better now then 5 years ago ? This is how software should progess, each release something improves. OpenBSD releases more then 2 release ago are not supported.

>would not have been possible for the author to evangelise about anywhere more than 5 years ago (sysupgrade @ OpenBSD 6.6)

I upgraded from 6.5 to 6.6, it was easy. The only difference beween then and now was I had to manually remove some files. Some people has to update config. But it was still easy, you just had to follow detailed instructions.

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade66.html

>Hence my statement ... lets not pretend OpenBSD has always been like this, because it has not.

So :) Software is suppose to improve as it is updated, OpenBSD has been improving in spite of the size of their team.

>For the past 2 years I've used OpenBSD as my primary OS for work, play, everything. It just works

Above quote from the article, he has been on OpenBSD fully for 2 years, so from his prespective it is easy.

Yes, many years ago OpenBSD was harder, but now upgrades and installing is close to trivial. So since it is "today" his article is fine by me.
