It's relatively easy, and yet powerful. Before that I had MDADM + LVM + dm-crypt + ext4, which also worked but all the layers got me into a headache.

Automated snapshots are super easy and fast. Also easy to access if you deleted a file, you don't have to restore the whole snapshot, you can just cp from the hidden .zfs/ folder.

I run it on 6x 8TB disk for a couple of years now. I run it in a raidz2, which means up to 2 disk can die. Would I use it on a single disk on a Desktop? Probably not.
There have been successive relaxations of the restrictions over the years, going back more than 30 years.

China's economy used to be completely closed to foreign investment. They didn't open up overnight. It's been a long, gradual process. The JV requirements were meant to prevent foreign firms from instantly wiping out every Chinese company in every sector. But as the Chinese economy becomes more advanced and competitive, the government worries less and less about foreign companies swooping in and taking everything over.

Same in France, I can't blame them, bad and good employees are paid the exact same minimum wage so why would you bother? There's definitely a salary crisis, employers don't want to reward good employees anymore.

Competitors are paying the exact same salary down to the cents, if it goes too badly, you'll be paid the same somewhere else anyways.

Show HN: I built a tool that helps break down your SaaS idea into AI coder steps
After struggling to effectively use AI coding tools (Cursor, Bolt, ChatGPT) on larger projects, I realized the problem wasn't the AI - it was the lack of planning out exactly what all the features will be in advance, and how everything will work/look.

I discovered, if I really thought things through, in details (what features, what the frontend will look like, etc.), I would get way better results. (Making proper product requirements documentation)

The tool is simple:
- Describe what you want to build
- Get a clear and structured breakdown of
- features and components
- Use the documentation as a guide and as context for the AI.

Example: Instead of asking "build me a blog", it helps you break it down into:
- Core features
- Sub-components
- Architecture decisions
- Frontend descisions
- etc.

This structure helps me get much better results from AI tools (like bolt.new, Cursor, Lovable, etc.), regardless of which one I'm using. The AI suggestions are more accurate because I'm giving them better context.

I built it for my own projects but figured others might find it useful. You can try it at doc.onlift.co (pay-per-use since it uses AI APIs).

If you decide to use it, let me know what you think of the results!
That's the problem I was talking about. We humans can't measure emissions, we can only cleverly estimate them. Especially if the number we want is a global one, a sum of every tiny source plus every big source in every country, from democracies to a closed dictatorships. So when institutions show that badly estimated rate of gas inflow is decreasing, but the actual amount of gas is increasing, then the only logical answer is that inflow measurement is broken. Emissions estimates are broken, because total amount of gas in the atmosphere is only ever increasing and the rate of increase is accelerating.
What are computer standards actually? I have two macbook pros from 2015 running still, perfectly fine for regular "computer" usage (non-development).
Thinkpads do. It's poorly named but they let you choose Windows (S0x) or Linux (S3) sleep.
That is a very fair and realistic review. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I'm also on the same situation as Java/C++ developer considering Dart only because of Flutter that permits iPhone/Android development combined.
Have you actually read the article ? He explains everything in sufficient detail. He didn't "hijack" the DNS records, he bought the ones that were expired and available.

The only thing he doesn't explain (for obvious reasons) is the how he found the shells online (because as he puts it, they fell off the back of a truck).
Incident? It was colonial genocides with red decorations.
It doesn't have to be the same exact drive. Mixing drives from different manufacturers (with the same capacity) is often used to prevent correlated failure. ZFS is not using the whole disk, so different disks can be mixed, because the disk often have varying capacity.
mind, it is also possible that they took that from Algol 68, and 'adjusted it':

$ a68g --strict -e '(INT a = 1 000; print((a,newline)) )'

As Algol 68 allows spaces within numbers, as well as within identifiers.

Do I give my best? No I don’t. I want to be well rested and healthy. However I do my hours without slacking and really work from home when I do home office. I have tons of crap from previous employees to clean up for years. Rudimentary stuff nobody cares of. Why should I overwork when nobody did this for decades before me in this chair.
On the prompt side, it's very simple, and can probably be done in a variety of ways. How we did it is to prepare a prompt with multiple "user" messages. The first one gives the instruction

you are given a reference and three candidates, which one of the candidates do you think is a match to the reference? Only output its identifier or a code when none is found

Not exactly that but something along those lines.

Then one "user" message per car (reference + candidates) with image + text indicating the type (reference or candidate) and an identifier (can be as simple as the index for the candidates).
A scrub isn't generally considered a failure. Lots of things like the cross winds, weather, and so on have to align in order to try to launch, and those are simply outside your control. And there's a lot of normal variance with the different subsystems that can cause a scrub if anything is sub-nominal. Of course things like the SLS 'scrubbing' over a period of years is a bit different, but I'd call that more of an entire program failing, as opposed to a launch.

You can see videos of the SpaceX barges taking multiple direct hits before they managed to start nailing the landings. There's very little exposed equipment and the barges are mostly unharmed.
Back when I was in middle school in Israel the system used for communication between teachers students and parents was called Webtop. They actually went all the way to implement OS desktop experience in the browser (this is long long ago) it was very silly but cute

Denmark is in NATO, US base is already in Greenland and I'm sure Danes would be open to add few more. There is no need to invade it. The moment it happens, Europe is lost to the US as an ally and NATO is gone.
The amount of engagement and passion for work feels at an all time low based on the circles I move in in the UK.

Almost everyone I know has half an eye on the exit or they are making decisions like cutting back to one person businesses or taking big pay cuts for remote. Nobody seems hungry for promotions or more money. There’s so much apathy.

I’m guessing it’s partly post Covid but feels like something is fundamentally changing in our culture. Or it could be that me and my circle are our 40s now!
It's not just NPM, it's the trust in third party libraries in general. Even though it's much rarer, you'll see exploits on platforms like Nuget. You're also going to see them on JSR. You have more security because they are immutable, but you're not protected from downloading a malicious pacakge before it's outed.

I think what we're more likely to see is that leglislation like DORA and NSIS increasinly require that you audit third party packages. This enforcing a different way of doing development in critical industries. I also think you're going to see a lot less usage of external packages in the age of LLM's. Because why would you pull an external package to generate something like your OpenAPI specification when any LLM can write a cli script that does it for you in an hour or two of configuring it to your needs? Similarily, you don't need to use LLM's directly to auto-generate "boring" parts of your code, you can have them build cli tools which does it. That way you're not relying on outside factors, and while I can almost guarantee that these cli tools will be horrible cowboy code, their output will be what you refine the tools to make.

With languages like Go pushing everything you need in their standard packages, you're looking at a world where you can do a lot of things with nothing but the standard library very easily.
The ancestors of dragonflies and damselflies have been the first insects that have evolved to fly well, not just to fly.

The other insects that are good fliers, e.g. flies, wasps, bees, certain moths, have evolved towards better flying in a completely different way from dragonflies, and many tens of millions of years later.

The ancestors of dragonflies have developed special muscles that can move separately and accurately each of the 4 wings, allowing exquisite flight control.

All the other good fliers among insects use only the equivalent of two wings, either by reducing one pair of wings, like in flies, or by having a mechanical linkage between the front and back wings, which makes them act like a single pair of wings, like in wasps, bees and fast-flying moths.

Moreover, the other good fliers among insects, unlike dragonflies, do not move directly the wings, but their flying muscles are attached to the thorax and contract it for moving the wings. A system of levers transmits the movement of the thorax to the wings. This also allows the wings to beat at a higher frequency than the frequency at which the nervous system can command the muscular contractions.
Not sure why you say this. I know multiple 10+ yo MacBooks still operation.
To expand on the headline: US employee engagement in 2024 was 31% which was tied with the lowest in the past decade (since 2014) but also higher than at any point in the preceding decade (2000 – 2013). Lowest engagement was 26% in 2000 and 2005. Peak engagement was 36% in 2020.

(Sample size was ~80,000 working adults. Sampling error was ±0.5 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.)
I genuinely never understood why nobody else implemented a version of the shelf from NextStep. It was such a fantastic UI innovation. In many ways NextStep was the pinnacle of desktop UI/UX design.

Yeah, it sucks, but that's the way it is. It is super common for bug bounty findings to be ignored or downgraded unless you show actual code exec on their machines or dump some of their creds.
I wonder how viable it would be to find a public key your target owns and use it to encrypt the data you send back. Then you could prove to them that you exfiltrated real data without exposing it to anyone outside the company.

Alternatively, you could hash it and say “Look, it’s a sha of your database password hyphen “yougotpwnd””

Thanks Campfire team for doing this. It’s great to be able to see the thinking around how something like this was built.
My main criticism is that wokeness when applied rationally could be a social lubricant.
Ban a few words and expressions at work, and suddenly your hiring pool is way bigger. People shouldn't be using words like that at work anyway.

The problem is that we didn't arrive at the new norm yet. Is banning compliments overreacting? Or is asking a coworker when she would wear skirt again, complimenting her beautiful knees, completely bonkers? Or maybe skirts are too distracting and we should ban them?
Do we draw a line on a n-word or on a latinx?

We had rules of politeness before, but they didn't work out. And so we are stumbling looking for rules that would work best for tolerating each other, and of course social studies and philosophy majors would suggest most of the rules – this phenomena is right up their alley. Most of everyone else is just testing those rules out and voting about the result (latinx isn't helping anyone, banning skirts scares women from seeking employment with you, etc.).

But the thing is – we need this rules. We need people who would never share a drink in a pub to work together without distracting each other too much.
So we have to endure testing for a bit longer, until the pool of stupid rules is cleaned and smart rules would be renamed from "woke" to "polite"
Time to break out the emergency pizza party!

But seriously, anyone below genX has not been in a situation where "caring" employers are the norm.

In the march for growth, one of the easier things to do is cut employee benefits. That can have a corrosive effect on culture. "The company is just about cheapest possible, why should I both putting the extra in"

Thats even before we get to profit sharing. Bonuses were a thing, and your manager's manager was only on maybe +50-70% of what you were on.

In short, if you want engagement, you're gonna need to invest in it. Evening out the wage bands, providing decent incentives, paying your staff to care and rooting out bad actors.

but culture change is hard.
But the foreign investors are doing it because the housing market has an artificial supply shortage. They are buying into a cornered market.

Of course, full deregulation is not a fix as seen with the condos built in ridiculous locations back in the sub-prime mania.

It would be good to have a reasonable plan. Sadly the plans for making livable neighborhoods was hijacked by the "15 minute city" WEF-style politicians. The Netherlands had some very interesting projects that went pretty well.
> But as an American who has been a little sick of Europe mooching off of our military overwatch

As a European (now living in the US) I think this perspective might be an oversimplification. Access to EU soil has been incredibly important for US military strategy over the last 50 years. Having bases in Germany, Spain and Italy is instrumental in US campaigns in Middle East or Asia. Not to mention the amount of European lives lost in conflicts initiates or led by US interests.
That's why you should run a tarpit instead.
Now that is unfair. You are pointing out flaws at Mastodon and Scuttlebutt and then applying the same tag to NOSTR without being correct.

NOSTR is the same as Email on that regard. You push a note to the destination (relay) and adding more destinations doesn't increase the load, it splits the load.

There is no centralization at NOSTR, there is no mandatory record of who sends who and what. It is just like email, send it over and let the receiving parties do whatever they want with it.

In fact, it goes beyond email to the point that you can write a NOSTR note on a piece of paper and still be certain that the note was written by a specific person and is unmodified.
I think EU is ok as many people actually live somewhere else thanks to EU laws.

What should get hard taxed is owning multiple homes. There are people with 100s flats not even under a company but an individual.
And companies that do own homes as business should be stevards of properties with max profit margins - it can be good business but not unhinged money printer it is in becoming everywhere.
Sure. Didn't mean to downplay it.
I wish something like this would be build into ZFS, so snapshots and current access would not be broken.

Why Are Online Manga Translation Tools So Bad
If you've tried translating online manga, you've probably noticed how underwhelming most tools are.

For macOS users, I highly recommend trying Safari's built-in translation service. It uses Apple's Vision API for OCR and handles multi-image content incredibly quickly.

The Good:
Speed: It’s noticeably faster than most plugins that rely on uploading images to a server, performing OCR, and then downloading translations.
Ease of Use: Works seamlessly within the browser, with minimal setup.
The Flaws:
Poor Layout Handling: The recognized text doesn’t adapt well when zooming in or out in the browser.
Formatting Issues for Japanese: Translated Japanese manga text often appears as awkward vertical text, rotated 90 degrees in a way that breaks immersion.
The Idea:
Imagine combining Apple's Vision API for lightning-fast OCR with a custom translation model tailored to manga (which likely already exists). This would address both speed and accuracy while allowing for more intelligent text placement and formatting.

Here’s the big question:

How can we enable Apple’s Vision API in other browsers like Chrome?
Is it possible to integrate specialized translation models into this pipeline to enhance translation quality?
Could we improve text rendering to better align with the original manga layout?
Would love to hear thoughts on this. Have you experimented with similar setups, or is there another solution that’s already out there?
This article puts in words what I have been thinking for some time. I can't comment on the theory of when and where wokeness starts, but I can relate to people I have had experience with, especially online, especially in academic contexts, that readily correct innocuous words or jokes which were perfectly fine until yesterday, extracting the word or part of the concept out of the context, and pointing out how politically backwards you are, with added crucification from supporters.

I am coming from a left-wing perspective: always voted left and very supportive of fights for social justice, which is also why it makes me angry when the language police comes to shut me up and call me names that I am definitely not.

I think PG is right in many aspects: it's a sort of empty moralism, a way to signal virtue based on an arbitrary, ever-changing set of rules. The intention is to be inclusive but it ends being snobbish and exclusive. I hope that PG is also right about this attitude -or fashion- to be on the retreat, especially if we want to get serious about social justice again.
Turns out that technical education doesn’t equip you for dealing with every discipline of inquiry, especially not when it involves social phenomena.

Of course the humanities are all usurped by the woke elites and you should look only to PG and his friends for guidance.
It's insane to think of the collective number of hours wasted on this.

I know where you are coming from and I considered this myself again and again. For me and for now it is not something I want to do and not primarily because of the effort.

The VM might protect me, but it will not protect the users of the software I am producing. How can I ship a product to the customer and expect them to safely use it without protection when I myself only touch it when in a hazmat suit?

No, that is not the environment I want.

My current solution is to be super picky with my dependencies. More specifically I hold the opinion that we should neither trust projects nor companies but only people. This is not easy to do, but I do not see a better alternative as for now.
My media literacy is not strong enough to understand if all the positive content about Sikh is "organic" or a very successful campaign by them to increase their reputation.

On reddit I keep reading about them doing great things, volunteering, silently providing what is needed to people in emergencies, for example the current wildfires in the US. (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1i0kavt - currently prominently featured on the front page) And now there is even some on Hacker News.

I am not disparaging anyone here, I am honestly curious about this pattern I have recognised.
That seems to assume that Israel is not in Asia
We would never agree on a global tax system in the first place. We could tax wars for example, and those kill humans directly, unlike climate change. But we don't do it, because many humans benefit from wars. Same with carbon tax, too many countries benefit from not paying it and so they won't.

Second problem is that carbon tax won't help. It doesn't reduce emissions much (because realistically countries would rather pay than de-industrialize in short term), and it doesn't remove CO2 from the atmosphere at all. As I wrote above - a slow down of emissions won't really change the final outcome, it will only prolong the heating process.

Not always true. I have devices with GPS which not only relies on a network for getting ephemeris data for the satellites, but they can't function without it. In other words, they don't even try to get ephemeris data through the GPS signal. So, if there's no network, it doesn't work. One of my devices is even a tablet without a SIM card, it only has wifi.. so if I'm near a cafeteria with wifi I can get a fix, and keep it for a while, but without it it's totally stuck. Forever.

In any case, as others have said, in the ocean a cellphone is useless for navigation. At least use a standalone satellite navigator. And learn to use paper maps and a sextant, it's actually a lot of fun.
Ask HN: How do you sleep on time?
Hello fellow HN guys,
My work mostly ends around 9 to 10:00 PM. I have this hangover of spending a few hours after dinner so it ends up me being able to sleep around 12:00PM-1:00 AM which is very late.

Thanks!
