> When I last looked 'dd' was significantly slower, though I did make it a bit closer a while back - https://jackson.dev/post/rust-coreutils-dd/

I read your blog. Maybe you should take a look at some of the other utils. I worked on sort and ls and both have long been faster than their GNU equivalents.

> They don't seem to get enough experienced programmers fixing them up or usage for me to actually recommend anybody use them, but maybe that's changing.

The issue is obviously compatibility and the uutils won't be broadly "usable" or stable until is hits 100% PASS/0% FAIL on the GNU test coverage, although the numbers are getting better and better. See: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uutils/coreutils-tracking/...

> A lot of the Rust coreutils were written by people learning the language,

I really, really hate this way of framing the project -- which implicitly sounds like GNU is full of pros. Yes, lots of code was written by people just learning Rust and systems programming. Once it reaches parity on GNU test coverage, which it is rapidly approaching, GNU coreutils would wish it had this kind of enthusiasm behind it.

> and the code is often _more_ complicated than the corresponding code for the Unix utils.

I think it really depends. Much of the code is much simpler. For instance -- I think it's much easier to generically do hashing in Rust, and it shows.
Turns out many people don't care to change their distribution defaults.
Phone number looks right too. Correct format for London at the time and apparently 01-359 was the Canonbury telephone exchange, which is almost certainly the closest to Duncan Terrace!
I see that you're using --print0 and -0 for your "git fza" alias, it might be useful to add -z to the git-ls-files invocation and --read0 to fzf.
I have been doing some late-night wikipedia binges on this matter, so I consider myself qualified to answer.

> Is there a comprehensive list of all the planets, dwarf planets, moons, etc. that we suspect may have liquid water?

Most large moons orbiting the gas giants are suspected to have subsurface water oceans, most prominent among them Europa. Ganymede, Enceladus, and Triton are other honorable mentions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_oceanography#Natural...

> How many of them have liquid water without being super saturated with salts? What is the level of confidence we have?

We don't know the composition yet, just that a salty ocean supports the evidence we've seen. For example, Europa interacts with Jupiter's magnetic field in such a way that makes sense only if there is a large amount of electrically conducive material inside Europa. Given what we know about its formation, metallic stuff is unlikely. A salty subsurface ocean is a more suitable explanation. We'll know once Europa Clipper gets there (one of its missions is to 'taste' the ocean by flying past really close).

There are other reasons to suspect a subsurface ocean, such as signs of a geologically active body (like Enceladus), which in turn implies there is enough heat inside to have an ocean.

> Which are most likely to bear life given our current hypotheses around the origins of life?

Europa, maybe Enceladus. Note that our search for life is heavily guided (biased?) by our understanding of how we think life started here on Earth.

Specifically, we needed these ingredients (non-exhaustive):

* a liquid medium to act as shelter and transport medium (liquid water ocean)
* a source of energy, something that life can 'eat' (hydrothermal vents in the beginning, sunlight later)
* protection from space-borne threats (atmosphere, magnetic field)
* a home that isn't geologically dead (like the Moon, or Mercury), but also isn't too active (like Io)

Europa checks most of the requirements:

* suspected subsurface ocean
* geologically active. This is important because Europa and other moons are too far away for sunlight to be a big source of energy. There has to be another source. Radiogenic heating (released by radioactive isotopes) and primordial heating (left over from its formation) aren't enough for moons to sustain liquid water (especially 4.5 B years after formation). This means tidal flexing is what we should be looking for -- something we know Europa has.
* Europa's thick icy crust blocks pretty much all radiation. Barring a thick atmosphere (which only Titan has), a subsurface ocean underneath an icy crust is the best life can hope for out there, for protection against radiation.
* We don't know much about what goes on underneath the surface. If the bottom of the ocean contains geothermal vents, then that could harbor earth-like life.

Saturn's moon Enceladus checks many of these same boxes (tidal heating, abundant water, signs of a young surface indicative of geological activity).

JUICE and Europa Clipper missions should fill in many of these gaps, and help confirm our understanding.
This is a ridiculous take on espionage. “Technology” would be the lowest priority for collection at Google.
There are extremely few use cases where your app may want to integrate with systemd. Out of those, you get again a small percentage that can't be trivially made optional. (99.9% is just optional notification and socket passing) Outside of large projects which are interested in full system integration like gnome, nobody breaks apps to not work without systemd.
I'm new to cars - I haven't passed my test yet. I also live in the UK, where manuals are the norm (and that's what I'm learning on). What is it that you dislike about CVTs? When you say a real gearbox, is it manual or automatic?
Yeah this is exactly it. When you delete and replace the app bundle macOS loses that customisation (understandably) and therefore you have to re-apply the customisation. This is why user customisation never works particularly well.
How do you propose to make more doctors? Right now the primary bottleneck is limited residency program funding from Medicare. There hasn't been much political appetite for major increases.

https://savegme.org/

Given our aging demographic profile with increasing chronic disease burden the problem is likely to get worse. Expect higher prices and longer waits to see a doctor. A more realistic solution will probably be to shift more primary care to lower credentialed practitioners such as Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners.

Sure, but 1000 is just 1 in 3000 voters. In practice it's going to be way more than that, probably 2 or 3 in 10. Thats hundreds of thousands of voters, many of whom are going to be punctilious people. Of all the suggested fuckery methods, this would be caught the fastest IMO.
> I'll just correct this one misinformation. You absolutely can cook multiple dishes at once - I've done it, google: 'pot in pot' - assuming they can tolerate roughly similar cooking times.

I have the OG Instant Pot, it is too small for multiple dishes. Especially if I am making a bone broth soup + rice!

Honestly I am trying to think of a dish I've ever made in my instant pot that hasn't occupied a majority of the interior volume...
Most programming languages work top-down... literally, down through the lines of code.

Prolog works bottom-up.

Emacs LISP works inside-out.
Based on the video in the article, it looks like the building still uses steel framing for the core structural elements. It looks like the subfloor is what uses cross laminated timber, and it seems that concrete is poured on top of that material to form the floor surface that you would actually see and work on top of in the data center. Although mass timber can be fire resistant, I don’t think it can match or exceed what is provided by steel and concrete. The video makes it look like ultimately, each room will be enclosed in steel and concrete effectively, since there will be ceiling panels on top covering CLT and concrete floors covering CLT, and walls will still be steel and concrete.

I used to travel across the US a lot. On my laptop I started keeping websites, documentation, base container images, source code for Linux, tools I used, and languages I was programming in for references the languages I was using. This wasn't for emergencies, it was so I could work productively while in transit. (I also tuned the hell out of the Linux power settings on my Lenovo)

I hardly travel anymore but still wind up using all of those local resources. It's zero web searches, next to no latency, and I have the structure memorized. Finding information I need is so fast.

I wish it was more popular to have a local-first mindset when writing software.
If your only concern is making money, maybe. Some authors do that, but an AI isn't necessary. If anything, using a ghostwriter and not an AI is a better guarantee of quality.

However I would assume many if not most authors actually care that the words attached to their name are their own.
The problem is that while editors are super fast, the plugin/LSP integrations can really slow down the editing experience. While you can write the editor with GPU acceleration in Rust, the language servers will remain unchanged. Dealing with edge cases and concurrency is really difficult, even in Rust.

For example, if you activate auto complete, but there are multiple servers returning results with different response times. Do you wait for all of them to finish? If not, will you have results that jump around?
I used it heavily at work. Then moved to a shop that does exclusively containers and realized how incredibly immature engineers’ understanding of the problem space is.

Container startup ordering, startup dependency management, socket handling and all things timing and network related are frankly a complete mess in modern infrastructure. Even, surprisingly in well maintained projects like k8s. I find myself shaking my head at problems solved by systemd a decade ago far too often.
What used to be the "Oracle Effect" has now become the "Salesforce Effect".
My mom worked in corrections and after an incident with one of her coworkers getting attacked at home, we got an unlisted number.

I just tried, but it turns out someone submitted a paid-only article to HN, so your proposal doesn't work. The first paragraph fades into a money-begging.
The left don't like the rich, but the "left" who govern in the US are the rich, and are just as entrenched in the oligarchy as anyone else.
You know what performs better than redis in this setup? An hashmap.

Why Postgres wouldn’t run on the same server as the app? It’s actually pretty common.
What do you imagine this proves or disproves?

How many people eat McDonalds? Or buy in to countless other things that can be trivially demonstrated to be against their own interests.

I don't know about anyone else but I never heard the critiques of systemd to be based on any doomsday predictions.

Everyone knew it would function, and that it even serves one use case better than before.

The critique was only ever that it serves one purpose better at the expense of all others, and is a downgrade in flexibility and functionality from what already existed.
I believe this is what they plan on doing. See, for example:

Accessibility problems just mean systems are a pain to use. So much so that we describe easy to do things in terms of impairment. I could do it blindfolded, with one arm, two fingers in my nose, in my sleep etc.

The ultimate form of accessibility is not 'designed for impaired people' it is a system that does what you want without having to think about it or lift a finger.
At this point, the political and non-political bits of musk are too swirled together to effectively determine what actions are due to political football or are due to his business practices, which I hope we can all agree on, are less then pristine.
> if you were a big celebrity, you could get an "unlisted" number

Or like a teacher? There was nothing uncommon about being unlisted.

The phonebook was your only one way searchable link to the outside world. It was LinkedIn and Facebook all in that one line in a physical book. So most people had it.

There was no way with a phonebook to reverse search using an address to know what the phone number and persons name was.

Data could not flow. It was the dark ages.

So people had to talk to people. It was an awful place pre-internet, just like early internet and mid internet society, but it'd be nice to get some of the good parts back.

As for this "doxxing" (Which the article uses jokingly), there was no way for this info to spread anymore than Douglas Adams friends telling you his address. You couldn't even rewatch the program unless you got lucky and recorded it.
>Trump will end the Ukraine war as all it takes is agreeing not to expand NATO and giving up Russian speaking Ukraine parts.

That would require the Ukrainians to truly and deeply internalize "sunk cost fallacy" because it means 2.5 years of total war was for nothing.
Venture a guess. You could read the article, or just say the first thing that comes to mind and you'd probably be right.
The point is that humans counting paper ballots by hand in the witness of anyone and everyone is and always will be more credible than any voting machine ever. You can certify the digital chain of trust as much as you want, it will not beat human hands counting paper ballots as anyone and everyone watches.

>you're not thinking about this very hard

Yes, because the commons will not think very hard about a complicated "solution" when a much simpler solution already exists.

>If you can't envision all the ways humans can fail,

Yes, humans fail. It's also not important. Any election worth its salt should be counting multiple times using a variety of counters and witnesses to demonstrate repeatability of the vote.

Again: Humans failing is not important.

What is important is the ability to verify immediately and simply how the vote is being tallied. Machines can and will fail (or more likely be corrupted) like humans, but we can immediately see when the human screws up whereas it's impossible to see when the machine screws up.

It's baffling I'm having to argue this to FOSS people of all peoples, you guys should know better than anyone else that vetting source code and binaries and hardware is a fool's errand for something as important as counting votes.

Nothing beats the brutal simplicity of hand counting paper ballots while everyone watches.
> but it is not running in memory on the same machine as the application.

What's the overhead of postgres vs redis, when run locally? Why do you think postgres isn't run locally?

There's nothing special about postgres. It's just a program that runs in another process, just like redis. For local connections, it uses fast pipes, to reduce latency, and you get access to some faster data bulk transfer methods. I've used it in this way on many occasions.
You can also use some other part of your body that has moisture. My nose and my scalp are really oily, so I can rub my finger on my nose and then do the touch controls and fingerprint sensors and have it work
I was going to take this response seriously and write a thought-out retort, but…

> Here’s a tip;

You’re not looking for discourse so much as to have someone agree with your anxiety about a perceived potential conflict and its stakes, and I am not going to be that person to you, sorry.

I made my statements and I stand by them. If you’re extrapolating to the extremes to justify your point of view, then I hate to break it to you but you’re treading ground my OCD has already mapped down to the millimeter. The “National Security” defense is not a valid one absent plans to prevent the exploit of that reasoning by bad actors.
I meant the state, although a sister comment to yours (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42032946) claims the affected number of ballots was too small (which doesn’t match my recollection but sharing it here for balance). Regardless - although I am open to the possibility of various issues or flaws in various states adding up to something more, I personally am confident Biden won the election, for what it’s worth. I do have my doubts about the overall process though - voting is just the very end step, but there are things that happen before that can skew election results (media bias, social media censorship, whatever).

Random example. They randomly broke suspect-then-hibernate then the community manager gaslit people into trying to make them believe they don’t actually need the feature in the way it’s used and then silently acknowledged that their fix is broken after all.

This is a common pattern by the way. But easily the most irritating thing for me is the simple issue that you used to be able to just go to /var/log/lastlog to see what failed during the last boot and that just the other day I had to spend hours figuring what broke in the system that made journalctl not log properly. In the end I had to reinstall all currently installed packages.

About Me:
I am an engineering leader from India and have around 17 years of experience. I'm currently working with a SaaS Company in a leadership position but code actively. I'm also involved in most of the architectural choices. In the past, I've built products and teams from scratch.

I'm most interested in B2B SaaS but open to any interesting opportunity.
A full self driving bank at that.
A friends appartment building had had a keypad lock installed a few years ago. Nice physical buttons. I swear the lock opened before I pressed the last number of the code, that fast. Sadly they changed it to an even newer lock system a couple of months ago. Now it's still physical buttons but the unlocking takes a couple of seconds and is totaly quiet. So you try to open the door and nothing happens. And then you try again and then it works. The friend often gets calls from visitors asking what the code was again because they can't get in. UX seems to be hard even without mixing in touch-controls.
Have you encountered any that work like this? In my small sample (n~5, Europe), all capacitive cooktops turn off whenever you spill something on the controls.
Electro-mechanical relays were the emerging (and novel) standard at the time, if not direct physical linkages.

I once had the opportunity to tour a US railroad switch tower, likely dating to the 1930s if not before. As with much other industrial architecture, something most people may not realise is the extent to which the form of the structure is dictated by not only human requirements (elevated position to have an overview of the yard) but the technical mechanism itself.

The upper portion of the tower is dominated not only by the observation windows, but by a vast number of physical rods which control individual sets of points (track switches). The levers don't move the rails directly, but they do directly move the electro-mechanical activators in the tower base, from which rods or cables (I believe it's rods, I'm not positive however) make a continuous physical connection to each controlled set of points. That is, there is not a separate actuator at the points themselves.

(More modern switching systems, or even other older ones, may well have this. The tower I observed most certainly did not.)

I've also had an interest for some years in how the artefacts of control influence the language of control. We speak of the reins or levers of power in most European languages, reflecting older sources or projections of power; modern terms seem to have been slower to be adopted though some ("dynamo" and "engine") are extant. I've long suspected that the Chinese, with a millennia-long history of hydrologic civil engineering projects might have a language of power which borrows from water control structures (dams, gates, levees, bridges, etc.). Some time afterward I realised that Latin certainly does, and retains at least one descriptor in pontifex maximus, that is, "bridge builder in chief*, first applied to Rome's emperors, now its Pope. And I've very recently learnt that Vietnamese language and culture have many words with shared roots in water, including the word for "mother".
To be honest, the scope of this project has been blown out of proportion. I had no idea it would hit mainstream media so aggressively like this. We're right now working on an official Wiki that goes over the DeskThing and all the aspects of it - but I can only do so much while balancing my school and work at the same time.

I appreciate the concern though

It's a trade-off. I won't defend abusive working conditions or forced sleep deprivation. But research has shown that the risk of serious medical errors greatly increases when a hospitalized patient is handed off from one doctor to another. This is a real phenomenon which has been extensively studied. So, when doctors work long hours it does improve patient outcomes, up to a point.
The latest Lenovo P14s I have running Arch/sway has a crazy long battery life as well. It idles at 3.4W with wifi on. Writing code with an editor and all the fancy LSPS/plugins pushes me to 4W. I can get more than a full days worth of work on a single charge if I'm not doing anything compute heavy.

That said, it's not out of box like a Macbook.
