Yes. I would expect the writer to at least check the top 10 movies.

While scrolling, I was surprised by Arif V 216. As I've seen the movie, there is no chance of such a high count of title drops. Skimming the instances, it was just showing the name "Arif." I returned to HN comments to check whether it was mentioned, and only you did.

Cool idea, lazy execution.
It all boils down to your threat model, your use cases and whether you truly feel like your privacy would’ve been less at risk had the Trump lost the election and whether the idea of the U.S. becoming a surveillance dictatorship was any less feasible between in the fifteen years before Trump first took office.

Great blog by the way. I don’t care for the subject matter per se, but the fact that it reads like it is written in a way that is indifferent to public perception despite being public is a good trait for a blog I reckon. It reads like a human wrote it and as a human you owe me nothing as far as a blog is considered, because I don’t know you I just know that you’re a human, that I can tell.
What surprised me is not that it happened, but that it happened now. Since it didn’t happen years earlier, I expected the coalition to last until the next election to at least give some semblance of stability.

The FDP has always had its finger on the self destruction button in this coalition and perhaps they wanted to get some especially, ehm, daring policy through with its politically quite different partners.
Versioning introduces a big maintenance cost, both on the side of the developer of a service and on the consumer side.
On a monorepo you have a single version, and can be sure that everything works together on it. You are forced to address the costs of changing APIs continuously, but all components are always up to date.
With multiple repos, versioning hell is real.
Tip: It is Dean Phillips. Not Dean Philips.

I made that mistake too recently.
Small self-promotion: I've written about FFI matters on a slightly philosophical bent, in the context of C FFI between Deno JS runtime and 3rd party C FFI libraries: https://denonomicon.deno.dev/philosophy-of-ffi

It's probably not quite the teaching material you seek, but it's something close to that I think.
> API contracts are not free

Yes, they are. They are as free as adding a new endpoint.

> and for things that were not decided to be an API and or a contract an absolute waste of time.

You're talking about integrating multiple projects. There are always contract. You simply chose to be ignorant of that fact and fail to interpret breaking those contracts as the root cause of all your problems.

You point out anyone lauding monorepos as some kind of solution to any problem and I assure you that we can immediately isolate one or more problems caused by versioning and breaking contracts.

The only reason why we see this nonsense paraded in web services is that they are loosely coupled. When people worked mainly with modules and libraries, compiler and linking errors made this sort of error very obvious. Now people chose to unlearn facts and want to call that operational improvements.
Electric motors have amazing performance. Better than ICE. (Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2948/ )

The downsides of electric is cost (due to the battery), limited range (due to the battery), and weight (due to the battery) which is bad for road wear and the safety of anyone you hit.
Add to this that the only true deterrent to any company these days is the loss of money, and we have a pretty air tight case here.

If Apple were seen to be subverting privacy at all, they'd lose literally tens of billions of dollars of revenue because they would no longer be a "premium" brand with offerings that truly differentiate themselves from every Android provider.

I trust that no company of that size would risk the most important thing that differentiates themselves from the whole rest of the world for the purpose of spying, making profit from tracking and advertisements, et cetera.
Scandinavia didn't try anything that could help. Let them try inexpensive houses or 20k Euro tax rebates per child.

How is this comparable to the media you're consuming?
Honestly, some voters are so twisted they ain’t worth it.
That's just an accounting problem. Once the countries start dumping dollars and buying Euros, the ECB can just create new Euros out of thin air to prevent it from appreciation.

Your own link basically says: "dollar is more stable and scalable, so people use it".
Hmm maybe I misunderstand. All the rules must be applied to fixpoint or elimination, for every input right? And the larger the program (rule set) the worse the performance since more rules must be evaluated at each “tick” of the program, unless you play tricks with ordering rules.
Really? I don't remember anything like that apart from this particular boat.
Weirdly enough for my next "AI hardware" purchase, I'm waiting for the release of the M4 Ultra to max out on VRAM since Nvidia's chips are highly overpriced and using GPU RAM to price gouge the market.

Since M4 Max allows 128GB RAM I'm expecting M4 Ultra to max out at 256GB RAM. Curious what x86's best value get consumer hardware with 256GB GPU RAM. I've noticed tinygrad offers a 192 GPU RAM setup for $40K USD [1], anything cheaper?

This is akin to speed limits. Doing 50 km/h on a 20 km/h street isn't going to kill you, but can kill people outside your vehicle.
None of what I’m complaining about is a product of nature, full stop. It is a product of bigots.

I don’t give a shit if people understand me. I don’t understand all kinds of people, not the least are Trump voters. I don’t, by virtue of that fact, want them harmed, want their freedoms limited, or want them subjected to undue misery. And all I really want is that same treatment in return.
Especially if you're the only one that makes GPUs for AI use

The US and Canada are two of the closest allies in the world, and have been for a very long time. To many Americans, Canadians are also part of "us", at least when discussing global issues or adversaries.

Thanks for that tip! Works very well checking with the blogpost.
The method doesn't matter, just the fact you can get there. Maybe you are talented, but I reckon most people can't turn that musical talent into a $600/month hustle.

>but you need to learn to read the audience so you can play to the audience firs

And you uncovered the issue: musicians can't just use raw talent most of the time, they need to also be an entrepreneur. An entirely different set of skills independent from music itself. Thars why most indies in any industry can't make it. You need to mix two ideas of art and product which are almost diametrically opposed to one another.

And it's a shifting formula. Because what's desired in art shifts constantly. It's a job in a job to get what's probably not even paying rent unless you're Low COL.
but thats not what nation state A is doing - differing amounts of information is selectively made available to different groups of citizens in nation state B, purely to sow discord when those two groups of citizens interact.

'Government' can't care. It's just an agreed upon idea, not a thing with feelings. It is a form of anthropomorphising to say it cares. 'Government' is the idea of a structure that many people believe and act as if it is true. This belief and consequent effort by so many allows it to take a material expression in our lives. Like a group of software engineers might envisage a game or solution, so for government - except way more people are involved. Neither government nor software cares though - they're not that type.

You or I can't, but that doesn't mean Apple can't. They made that enclave, and put the keys in it in the first place.

I was responding to the point above that seems wildly u likely. It's not that complicated.

And yes, that gang leader will be caught a lot quicker for voting fraud than any petty turf wars they may ensue.
Exactly, both parties are incredibly corrupted by donor money. Heads I win, tails you lose.
It’s not the denied entry pipeline that a lot of countries worry about. Those have always been the airline’s problem.

It’s the lawful refugee claims they might be forced to consider/accept if a claimant can make landfall.

And their dislike of citizens using minimal ID to lawfully gain entry home.

So they extort the airlines to fulfill their wishes on foreign soil.
The news cycle at that level churns on anything and everything will come out. Are you comfortable with them interviewing old neighbors or people who went to the same school but didn't know you? At that level online activities are my least concern, old girlfriends or work colleagues or ex friends can spread the most impactful dirt. When material doesn't exist they just throw dirt to see what sticks.

You wouldn't have that problem. Try looking someone up these days in Google and you soon discover everything lives in walled in gardens like Facebook or instagram or iCloud or Snapchat or telegram.
Making it illegal could make it taboo, kids are less likely to talk about it in fear of "getting caught" and less talking means less usage.

This is not like porn which is a solitary activity: on social media you have to be social and let everyone know… at least for traditional actually-social media, not content-consuming apps like TikTok.

It's similar to alcohol usage: you can't stop it completely, but also you don't have 50% of kids bringing it to school.
And how much money do you make from trading large cap US equities?
Say Price = Money supply / value of goods

If price goes up then inflation, if price goes down then deflation. If value of good goes down and money supply stays the same, inflation.
The man said enough on the record to disqualify him (e.g. demanding his political enemies shot in tribunals), if people still vote for him that means they value democratic principles and the Rule of Law so low that these didn't matter — because the excuse that he didn't mean it that way is not flying after Jan 6th — at least you can't risk that he is not daring enough.

Poor US. Poor World.
Pretty sure those lockins are not comparable
These are actual bad things to say, but yes, there are worse that he's said.

I agree that he says incendiary things, but he is also a poor communicator and so he says provocative things that are left ambiguous.

"I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote,".

What does he mean by "have it fixed"? Have the elections fixed? It's hard to imagine what else he can fix so that people won't have to vote anymore.

“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much,” Trump said. “I don’t mind. I don’t mind.”

Yes, he didn't literally say "pleased" he said "I don't mind". Barely a difference when discussing the finer points of whether someone should murder the press.
>we should do something at a societal level to prevent young guys go into the red pill rabbit hole

People like you who think others should be banned from accessing information that might cause them to develop certain political views are a big part of why so many people are being radicalised. That's the reason Joe Rogan gave for endorsing Trump for US president, that Kamala Harris had explicitly threatened to censor social media.

an an american who just watched the recent election go down, I have to strongly disaagree with this.
Neither of those concerns are relevant.

The DNC could have simply published one of their original emails for people to compare, without interfering in any investigation or revealing any spy techniques.
Ah, I thought your name sounded familiar! In 2008, I bought "Reading Japanese with a Smile" on a trip to Japan and loved it. It was very well done and perfect for me. I ended up buying two copies and for years I kept checking on Kinokuniya visits hoping it would become a series. No such luck, but my guess is it was just too much work for too little reward. But you should know that a HN reader still remembers your work fondly after 16 years.
Ever thought that "Ops" needs a different mindset than the devs are used to ?
I've been assuming the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Course is part of what gave Japan the heavy rural electoral weighting that's powered the LDP during nearly the entire postwar period. What do you all think?
It’s not risking the entire mission. Just the part the camera is should be risked. And from that perspective attach a camera to each thing you do and you’ve got a good shot of it working most of the time rather than spending outsized amount of resources to guarantee success. This is very similar to how SpaceX does rockets by the way so even if the cameras are useless you have a good shot at learning more things.
When Trump was president last time, my project was just beginning. Now that many years have passed and I have gained experience, I can say that this is a second chance for him.
Then stop acting like it.

They said, "People who support Trump". They never said, "People who disagree with me". Those are your own words. And there's a great deal of difference between those two clauses.

I understand you want to shield yourself from criticism, by pretending you're merely in the "people who disagree with" camp and not in the "people who support Trump" camp. But trying to do that while putting words in someone's mouth lowers the quality of discourse here. And then to try claiming moral superiority by citing "This is HN, not reddit" is just ... transparently pointless.

Also, you ruin your own argument by proving your parent correct.
> I don't understand what people are buying.

I am also perplexed by this. As someone who obsessively tracks and categorizes all my spending, I have not observed a significant upward trend in my grocery spending. And I have data in a spreadsheet which confirms this. I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing so differently than the general population which perceives prices as skyrocketing.

While most goods are slightly more expensive, egg prices have been a notable outlier, which I believe was more an effect of culling due to bird flu rather than inflationary. If anything, the most notable cost increases I've observed are in restaurants and takeout places, not grocery stores.

It's entirely possible these costs are highly region-specific, so it's interesting to hear different takes on it.
Umm, millions saved in the future seems like a decent amount of money? Yeah, they paid for the hardware in year 0 that equals to their AWS bill, but the subsequent years that money is not spent on aws or new servers
Seriously, "you can teach tourists how to get to the station" as a motivation to learn the language is insane.

Absolutely.

You can say you don't care for Elon for a thousand reasons, but you lose credibility if you call the guy who is leading multiple companies that are crushing it in their respective fields an "incompetent fraud".
> There's a reason the term "deflation" exists, and it's not simply a theoretical concept.

Yeah. The last time deflation happened in Europe, it resulted in Hitler coming to power.

Not kidding, Hitler came to power after a period of _deflation_ in Germany.
It's not an insult, and I wasn't addressing either "camp." It's an observation that most people don't have the interest or ability in understanding government policy, and there isn't a good way to communicate the facts of the matter in a way that's accessible to most people. This is a problem of the media, who want everything broken into 30-second sound bites; but of course the media don't exist in a vacuum: they serve the media consumer, who won't listen to anything longer than 30 seconds, which unfortunately isn't enough time to explain the relationship between tariffs and inflation.

Voters demand simple explanations for complex realities, and simple solutions to complex problems, and as a result, the successful politician must fabricate simple explanations and simple solutions, even if they're wrong.
He explicitly said he wouldn't ban TikTok during his second campaign.

7zip is the solution on Windows that works together with Keka on Mac. Keka also allows splitting, which can be useful as well.
Hard disagree. I've found that the best setup is two monorepos - one with feature/app code, and one with operations configuration.

The fundamental mismatch is the feature/app code will have longer testing times, stuff like Puppeteer and creating-infra-per-MR that just fundamentally takes a long time to run. But in ops, you need configuration to roll out quickly, maybe run an autoformatter and a linter or two beforehand and that's it. When you want to rollback, you don't need to wait for all your tests to run.

Yes you need to deal with versioning. You can just use automatic timestamps. You can write easy automation to push new timestamps to the ops/config repository when there are new releases in the app repository. The ops repository has minimal configuration to pull the latest version of the app repository and apply it, where the app repository includes infra and deployment scripts themselves.

Really? Nvidia’s marketing and PR teams are trying to trick people into thinking that they invented GPUs? Does Nvidia have no shame and or scruples?

The term "GPU" was coined by Sony in reference to the 32-bit Sony GPU (designed by Toshiba) in the PlayStation video game console, released in 1994.

>I think that's as democratic as it gets.

I don't. Let's be realistic: everytime we go "states rights" it's almost always so the state can control some sector of the population. We reworked the articles of confederation for a reason. We're one country. Not 50. Land of the free right?

Something as base as bodily operations should be a personal choice, just like any other religious belief out there. Not determined by the mood of your mayor.

If you want a purely logistical reason instead of moral: banning abortion doesn't ban abortions. It just increases infantcide, something we all disagree with. If someone doesn't want a baby, they'll get rid of it. Same ideas as prohibition. And do we really want to punish a woman for an operation she did on her body? In another state or in the backstreets?

>Besides, even Ginsburg was against the Roe vs Wade ruling. S

Yes, for reasons in that the Supreme Court doesn't enact laws. She instead wanted congress to make it a federal protection. But look how thars going. Almost like she knew a shift in the courts can remove it easier than a passed law...

With all due respect, that's one of the most misguided(i wanna say retarded but.. HN) takes I've seen in a while. How could he even compare the SLS (which costs per launch about as much as it took to develop the entire reusable Starship system) to Starship?

The guy is just blinded by his hatred for Elon to even acknowledge one of the historical achievements SpaceX engineers worked their asses off for.
Calling DEI and woke individuals the big scary mob is world class profound crudity or cruelty in the face of torch bearing uniformed white men marching & beating people up, Muslim bans, family separation policies. The cruelty has been the point.

It doesn't matter because the 35 year old isn't using his brain to vote anyway. He's just going by what social media, the news, and peer pressure leads him to. If anything, an older person has better established understanding of the world even if they're not better at working things out.
The average voter isn't going to make that distinction, they are just going to equate it to "in power, didn't deliver".
Except voting for massive tariffs make sense from an environmental and workers point of view. Logic instead of emotions was lacking in the democrats camp too.
