Compare rdb by Walter Hobbs. It was written mostly in perl, and reading the code helped me learn perl.

Code is at github [0]

A pdf doc is at Rutgers [1],

and an intro is archived from sysadmin magazine. [2]

I used it to inventory equipment and to do other admin chores long ago.

> Intel should be focused on an x86+RISC-V hybrid chip design where they can control an upcoming ecosystem while also offering a migration path for businesses that will pay the bills for decades to come.

First I've heard of this. Is this actually a possibility?
Oh thanks for the reminder! I gotta go read their 9800x3d review, I'm always up for a good laugh.

Google search is about to be made irrelevant by AI, and yes I believe it is a stretch to compare Google's search "monopoly" to Microsoft's browser monopoly of yore.
For a funny take on this, see the movie "Gran Torino", where two people excoriate each other viciously, until we the audience discover that they are actually two close friends.

Sadly, in our modern world people are not only looking for things to be offended about, but are looking to be offended on behalf of other people.
You need to be able to specify how many derivatives you're taking and what variable(s) you're taking the derivative with respect to. That's two arguments you've partially applied if you have something you can just apply to a function application operator.

> find middle class folk ... to be uptight and terribly afraid of causing/receiving offence.

I think it's the betwixt and between dynamic: working class folk know they're living on what they have coming; upper class folk know they're living on what they have; but middle class folk, no matter how they live, are only middle class folk if other middle class folk agree they are — hence the insecurity, and at one reason for the conformity.

Enterprise gear today can pretty quickly and easily add up to seven digits per rack. At a previous job, I personally handled a specialized network processing card that retailed for over a quarter million dollars.

Actual branded skateboard bearings today are deliberately nerfed to allow the elements in, it sells more bearings. At least that's the case with all the ones they sell at the local skate shop here in Berkeley... one side has had the seal completely removed, the balls and cage are exposed. They rust very quickly ridden in the wet.
This confuses a B cell with a B battery. A B cell is a single dry cell in a package between A and C size.[1] Voltage around 1.5V. A B battery is a stack of tiny dry cells used to provide plate voltage for a vacuum tube. Voltages in the 45 to 90 volt range.[2]

I’d suspect there is significant growth of businesses acting as intermediaries for cloud storage. I think that other software providers have also realized that ransoming users data is a great way to extract predictable, hedge-fund-owner-pleasing revenue without performing useful work.

AEC software providers all do this. ProjectWise is worse than owning or renting a plain file server in every way I can imagine, yet every consultant in transportation dutifully cuts Bentley a five-figure check or larger every year so they can hold your project files hostage and pretend to develop software.

I pray for a merciful asteroid to end it all.
> Traceroute, as far as the industry is concerned, does not exist.

> Look it up. There is no RFC. There are no ports for traceroute, no rules in firewalls to accommodate it, no best practices for network operators. Why is that?

I know this is getting into semantics but this argument is ridiculous. Everything that isn’t explicitly specified in an RFC and has its own protocol doesn’t exist to the industry? Who thinks like that? It’s using behavior of the system to get a result, how does that mean it doesn’t exist? If I do a Speedtest by sending traffic over the internet, does my program not exist because there is no SpeedTest Protocol with its own port, and no RFC has ever been written about it?

When you are in a crisis situation you need to slow down and take stock of your resources. How much cash do you have? Can you live with your parents/other people to lower rent? Will you get recommendations from your colleagues at work? Do you have vacation time you can use to recharge? Can you lower your expenses to build a cash pile? What can you do to improve your present situation at work? What can you do to improve your mental health/fatigue and recharge?

Take a long weekend, stay off the computer, stare at the clouds a bit, answer these sorts of questions and start to chart a new course for yourself.

IME, the best developers tend to be genuinely passionate about principles.

They aren't necessarily working for Mozilla now, because they can see right through a lot of obviously bad moves Mozilla has made, and ridiculously overpaid executives.

"Go where the biggest paycheck is" is people who care more about career than mission. Why would you even want those people, unless you can't get the mission ones.
Yeah, but usually it isn't about the "deletion" of a word (however that would look like) it is about becoming aware about the way that word impacts the world around us — and then potentially wielding it with more care — or wielding it to hurt and stump people — if that is what we want.

There is always a gap between what we mean to say and how the actual words we use are received on the other side. Only if we are able to anticipate how our choice of words might be received within different contexts we have a chance to narrow that gap. And since language is an interpersonal, intercultural, intergenerational beast that is not an easy achievment.

The worst we can do is assume language as a fixed static thing that isn't allowed to evolve over time and has one definitive meaning for all people always.

That means understanding how words are received is always beneficial to people who want to communicate effectively — whether you avoid words because you know what thoughts/feelings theh produce in others is more a question of your character and your upbringing.

>Yeah I refuse to give Oracle a dime

The parent only paid $0.01. Even $0.10 should be fine, even if you strongly dislike Oracle: the cost to Oracle for charging your card $0.10 is more than that, so they're actually losing money by charging you such a small amount!
Intel seems determined to prove they're not beholden to the sunk cost fallacy by abandoning every project just after its research and development is fully funded.
Sigma, capital pi and the definite integral are interesting.

What counts for arity of an operator? For sigma you have 4 things I would argue.

- the low and high limits of the index

- the name of the index variable in the expression you're summing

- the expression itself

The name of the index variable doesn't seem to me to be of the same kind as the others in that it's sort of a dummy argument but it's generally needed to make the syntax work[1].

[1] yeah I know people sometimes just write the limits above and below and rely on convention for people to know the name is n or i in the same way they do for the square bracket or big pipe notation (I don't know what that's called) you learn when you learn to take definite integrals.
I'm curious how much simpler to build, manage, and run vs cost it would be to simply running a database on a large vultr/DO instance and paying for 2tb of storage?

I feel like you'd get away with the whole thing for around $500/mo depending on how much compute was needed?
Oh don't worry, there will be plenty of those big waves in the future. Every time a judge hates something he orders a nation wide block on it. Happened many times before.

Well it's not UK specicfic but as there's only really workers and owners, they could be insecure about being a slightly better paid worker?
It is insane because 52B can run on my current 3 years old laptop. 3B LLMA 3.2 from Facebook can already autocomplete for me. I didn't try this model but if the scores are to be believed, this can give useful and actionable insights into a project source code. Probably not as good as Claude 3.5 but I can run it locally. This is a game changer.
I haven't kept up, sounds dubious to me. You and Carrier are both far more invested in the conspiracy theory than the evidence, trying to discredit sources rather than actually read and understand them, more like a religious apologist than a scholar. It's a bad look.
Sounds like LLMs are trained on my posts because i tend to use both of those phrases :-P
Microsoft gave up on building a Web Browser engine and you think a government can? Browser engines are really hard to build. They requires a lot of (very expensive) niche technical talent. Not to mention the need to keep up with the rate of Google's improvements to Chrome/Blink. We're at a point where Chrome has a 10 year head start to any other engine other than Firefox, building a general purpose new engine from scratch is basically off the table, and hard forking Chrome/Blink is also off the table (because why would you toss the ~1bn$ Google puts into chrome every year?). We're in a world of a single browser engine, no way to go back for the foreseeable future.
> Biggest surprise for me was the sense of community that seemed present in the lower earners.

I was once in an environment where, depending upon how I was dressed, I would either be addressed in english and called "Sir" or addressed in spanish and called "Paisano".

Why was the community surprising? (I mean, my mental model is that most dyadic social interactions can be approached with either authority or community, so I'm not surprised that groups without much authority tend to play the community card instead)
it comes from my concerns that today's chatbots gather user data and use them for training, even sell them without user awareness. That's why I want to build a AI, where users can feel confident using it and about their privacy

https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/bitcoin-election-trump-...

Generally, it’s believed that Trump would give the most support to Bitcoin. Trump attended a major Bitcoin conference over the summer, where he promised to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world” and to hold Bitcoin for strategic purposes. He’s also promised to oust Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler in favor of a more crypto-friendly regulator.
We still need this, no matter how hard it is. If we can't make our own computers, we're stuck with the computers made by big companies and those come pwned right off the factory. We'll never be truly free unless we can make our own free computers at home, just like how we can make our own free software at home.

I'll often call out either dupes (reposts w/in a year, often w/in days, hours, or minutes...) vs. prior discussions, and especially perennial favourites. For the latter I'll specifically note that reposts are in fact permitted and encouraged after a suitable period, linking guidelines and one of your own comments to that effect.

Where submissions have had recent discussion but not above HN's somewhat vague "significant discussion" threshold (I generally go by <20 comments), I'll also note that. Often it's because I'd recalled earlier submission and wasn't sure myself whether or not those were dupes.

Since other HN readers are also involved in flagging dupes, or boosting repeat submissions for stories under the threshold, communicating this clearly is useful. A point I've also emphasized in the past:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40849853>

My own first comment on that thread my be buried dues to downvotes, it's the reply to the linked comment and read (prior to clarifying edits linking & citing guidelines):

If you're calling a submission a dupe, say so.

In this case, there's an 11-hour old submission, but at only 6 comments, it's well below the threshold I (a non-privileged HN participant) usually call for dupes, that being ~20 comments.

So no, this is not a dupe.

Since it's difficult to assess an author's intent on a vague or link-only comment, being explicit as to what the situation is is something I'd strongly encourage.
Advocacy doesn't pay at all, it's a 100% money pit.

(You might wonder why they spent so much money on it. A lot of people wondered that, and apparently Mozilla itself has now wondered about it too.)
Bitcoin is partially an index of political instability. Anything that has potential to significantly accelerate global divestment from the dollar is a positive for crypto. Trump winning the White House would do that. Even a protracted vote tally resulting in a Harris win would bode well for crypto, if it came along with court battles and violence that further exacerbate America’s political instability.

That is correct, but it also means that this trust is not tax-advantaged.
It feels like there's a strong thesis and well-reasoned argument here, but it's hidden within a forest of flashbacks and flowery metaphors.

Very core to the author's argument, it seems, is the idea that the Reagan and Clinton administrations caused the proliferation of modern monopolies, but no more than a few paragraphs is spent discussing this.

I think this article would have benefited from more detailed research into the effects of their economic policies, and less detailed research on King James I.

Right. The vacuum tube A B and C are a completely separate system. If you want to claim it's the missing "B", then you have to explain why there are two wildly different "C"s.

One thing I've seen in every startup I've been in over the last decade is that cloud asset management is relatively poor. Now I'm not certain that enterprise is better or worse, but ultimately when I think back 10+ years ago resources were finite. With that limitation came self-imposed policing of utilization.

Looking at cloud infrastructure today it is very easy for organizations to lose sight on production vs frivolous workloads. I happen to work for an automation company that has cloud infrastructure monitoring deployed such that we get notified about the resources we've deployed and can terminate workloads via ChatOps. Even though I know that everyone in the org is continuously nagged about these workloads I still see tons of resources deployed that I know are doing nothing or could be commingled on an individual instance. But, since the cloud makes it easy to deploy we seem to gravitate towards creating a separation of work efforts by just deploying more.

This is/was rampant in every organization I've been a part of for the last decade with respect to cloud. The percentage of actual required, production workloads in a lot of these types of accounts is, I'd gather, less than 50% in many cases. And so I really do wonder how many organizations are just paying the bill. I would gather the Big cloud providers know this based on utilization metrics and I wonder how much cloud growth is actually stagnant workloads piling up.

The comments here are exactly the same set of comments under every single article related to US companies facing issues in European markets. There's another article on the front page about Netflix's Dutch offices being raided in a tax probe and I could copy/paste entire comment chains between the two and you wouldn't know it.

-> Irate American complaint about how it's a stealth tax

-> equally irate European rebuttal that US companies should just follow the laws if they want to do business here

-> Follow up irate American reply

... Repeat until 3 or 4 comments down it's somehow become:

-> American: US GDP is so much higher than in the EU

-> European: but quality of life is better here because of free healthcare etc, GDP isn't a good measure, I went to the US once and saw poors on the street!

-> American: something angry about socialism

... And so on. It's the same tedious argument on every single article about EU privacy laws or taxes, and I could also copy/paste these exact comments from a Reddit post about the same issue and nobody would be the wiser.
And then proceeded to lay off the Rust team and force it out on its own. That probably worked out for the best in the end, but they don't get to claim credit for Rust's subsequent successes.

It's entirely possible for the government to pressure the corporations in the chip industry to move resources into research, development and manufacturing capacity.

What the government would have to do is increase corporate taxes and capital gains taxes but give various writeoffs and rebates for R & D and new factories. Essentially the government tells the corporation, "you can pay us this tax money, or you can put the money back into R & D and production starts, it's up to you."

This would probably upset the Milton Friedman neoliberalism proponents, but they've made a mess of things IMO. Regardless the shareholders and executives would have to take significant losses relative to their present situation under such new conditions. The money has to come from somewhere and fabs are expensive complicated beasts with demanding supply chain issues.
Are there actually any women in this conversation? I find many of the comments at YC to be obnoxiously male dominant and condescending, this comment section included. It's been frustrating me for quite a while now.

> How can we steer technology towards empowering individuals instead of exploiting them?

We figure out every single objective that industry lobbyists ever achieved, and we do the opposite.

In my opinion the biggest issue right now is the insanity of intellectual property. They use it to kill competition and stop others from breaking their business models. We should be able to reverse engineer an app and build a free software replacement that talks to their servers but right now that's a crime.
> Unveil helps with the "arbitrary files" part.

How? The torrent program needs read and write access to create whatever files it needs to, which can't be predicted ahead of time.

Imagine a worst case scenario for an RCE in a torrent program, and then what is your best case scenario for pledge and unveil being able to confine an attacker?

Because I'm pretty sure it would be a lot less restrictive than what proper sandboxing can provide.

> There's a reason Linux is cloning that interface with landlock.

Sure, because it has advantages as part of defense in depth. I never said it was useless or without value.

Besides that, from memory landlock actually preceded unveil having started development in 2016, so I don't know that it's fair to say Linux is cloning anything if they had a solution first.
