> I sometimes wonder what it would be like if we'd continued down that path. Maybe your laptop would have 10,000 processors in it each with a few MB of RAM and we'd be writing very different programs in languages where message passing was a first class construct.

It sounds a bit like the Erlang BEAM VM to be honest, the BEAM processes tend to be small and there are a lot of them in real-world applications, and message passing is a first class construct (along with some others like ETS which are “cheats” that offer other tradeoffs for specific cases)

Came here to see if it was the same person, though I felt very sure with the throwback web design - back when each page had its character, and you had to save the page for offline reading so that Dad wasn't pissed at the phone bill!
And when the code worked - it was validation against all the previous failures (and rejections) in life! Oh the joy of sending message from one computer to the other!

Thank you Beej.
You can't change the sprites every rasterline. Sprites are 21 pixels in height in unexpanded mode. So you can only change the sprite after displaying all 21 lines, unless you use sprite-crunching, where the limit is still several lines. Linus has an article on sprite-crunching (mind-blowingly complex).
So how do you manage getting credentials for different accounts?

Those are descriptions not names.

The left don't have to any soul searching to do when again the so called middle literally voted for a man who to their face told them that he doesn't care about them he just wants their votes, who yes is a criminal that has swindled, lied and now rug pulled.
Let's say they're taking a financial risk which incentivizes (some of) them to study the matter more closely than someone else that is not taking that risk.

Does that mean they're smarter? I don't think so. It's a bet they're willing to take and time will tell who was right.
Gaza has a population of over 2 million people, and according to Wikipedia the civilian death toll has been under 50,000.

I'm not saying that's not terrible, of course it is. But I'm pretty sure that if Israel wanted to commit genocide there would be a lot more.
You are assuming that only money will make people do incredible things, but you only have to look at open source to know that this is false.
That's great. Thanks for pointing it out.
> Paying ~$30 for express shipping through DHL (plus whatever the new tariffs end up being) will still get you those parts in 3-5 days to most major shipping hubs in the US, your suppliers will just need to start filing the export paperwork correctly.

In my european experience, DHL is anything but fast when customs are involved. And I doubt they have the manpower to handle it for the new US rules.

> These changes will likely have bigger impacts on cheap off the shelf parts from e-commerce places like Temu or AliExpress, who were previously taking advantage of both the de minimis rule and inequal international rates through USPS.

Again in my european experience, the likes of Temu have solved the problem. You just order and a courier shows up with the taxes already handled. You paid Temu for them when you ordered and they paid the taxes for you at the point of entry to the EU.

Unfortunately they probably don't have a similar setup in the US, but they're likely to solve it much faster than DHL.

And of course prices will increase. Will that make them less competitive? Time will tell.
> The left need to accept that they lost the election, that Trump won the presidency and the Republicans won control of congress.

Shouldn't they then use Congress as intended rather than what they're doing now which bypasses it?

As a bystander in another country your line of argument is mind-boggling. You don't just throw out the constitution and way the government works because one guy won an election one time. But that seems to be what a lot of people are suggesting, that because Trump won the election whatever he does is democratic and therefore okay.
Can't speak for OP's link, but as a contrast No Trace Project's resources contain lots of advice from people who actually routinely face state repression, with in-depth analysis of specific cases. The scope is international (though focused on the North Atlantic region) rather than english- & u.s.-exclusive. There are plenty of references to Tor+Tails.

Did you try reading the manual?
There are some basic debugging notes by Martin Piper: https://github.com/martinpiper/DebuggingDetails/blob/main/Ni...

For better understanding: The demo starts with a magician character drawn in the center of the screen, announcing the trick in text (some of this is big text achieved by overlaying sprites). Then, 9 sprites, each in the form of a colored number from 1 to 9, exit the magician's hat to rotate around him (in the notes screen #1), then, the screen gradually widens horizontally beyond the usual borders and the circle of the 9 apparent sprites spreads out over the entire screen (screen #2). (At this point, the display of the magician, which was clearly drawn by PETSCII characters, before, shouldn't be viable anymore.) The swirling numbers transition to a narrow ellipse near the top of the screen (screen #3), which then transition to the very top of the screen, above the normal display area, a zone, which is available for sprites only, showing the sprites in a linear rotation (screen #4). Meaning, these must be sprites and these 9 apparent sprites are drawn at the same scan-lines. (So there is no way this could have been achieved by conventional, vertical multiplexing. This is the highlight, the big trick of the magician's show.) At the end, the sprites return to their initial circling motion and vanish, one by one, into the magician's hat.

The demo is a combination of various tricks and artful timing, which enables perfect transitions between them.
Any solution would have to be better than the current one. The last 30 years of the computer industry tells me that is not going to happen.
Eh. Pretty much everyone called what happened in Gaza an attempt at genocide, including many Israeli scholar. The wiki page [1] list some source from the U.N, various NGO, ... Amos Goldberg ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_Goldberg ) called it a genocide, and the ICC launched an investigation (ofc, blocked by Israel).

Is Hamas a terrorist group ? Yeah, by many definitions. But if you accept this, you also cannot not see how what Israel did in Gaza, and has been doing for years with Palestinian, is not genocide: Force displacement of vast amount of population, regularly blockading humanitarian aid, mass destruction of civilian infrastructure, mass imprisonment, often with little to no representation, mass killing of civilian (it is estimated, by many source, that roughly 45000 Palestinian died, of which at least ~80% where civilian) ...
This is the textbook definition of genocide. If you accept the Shoah, the Armenian genocide, the genocide of the tutsis, ... You cannot logically not see this as a Palestinian genocide.

As for the U.S involvement, that's honestly not for me to say. I am not a us citizen.

Absolutely. In terms of new clients targeting mobile teams Swift and Java/Kotlin would make the most sense. I mostly meant that even folks who code in Swift, Java and JS, would likely prefer the respective clients to be idiomatic than the APIs exactly matching each other.
> there exists a subset of the population that cannot and will not be educated or have the ability to reason on a certain level to make things work

I'm sceptical of that. I tend to suspect that Michael Gove's "the people have had enough of experts" thing was _kind_ of correct; there's a deep strain of anti-expert feeling throughout, at least, the West at the moment. (I don't think this is quite the same as traditional anti-intellectualism; it seems to be almost an active view that it is better that people in authority do not know how to do their job.)
I take some solace that even 80 years ago the greatest mind in computer science was saying "damn, key synchronization is hard"
Yes, they do. But my understanding is that we’re talking about almost the entire US-bound volume from China of all of Aliexpress, Temu, eBay, Amazon, and all the other retailers shipping from China. USPS carries a massive amount of load there. And almost none of that was dutied in customs because of the high de minimis value in the US.

> government smaller

I'd also emphasize that a dictator is smaller than a Congress, but not better, and "fewer written rules" can easily conflict with "more freedom for individuals."

Just imagine if the many state laws concerning crimes and misdemeanors were torn up in favor of "don't piss off the police." Sure, it's way shorter, but you've simply replaced the hard-fought written rules (which you have a chance to see, understand, contest, etc.) with hidden unwritten ones that change semi-randomly.
Do you have any facts to support your assumptions a) or b)?
> Women in the west are choosing, quite reasonably, to hook up with the top 20% of men and ignore the rest.

Ive been living abroad the past few years and it was night and day. in america, intimacy was a rare thing. outside the country, I've had zero issues finding partners who I find extremely attractive. Some of my well meaning friends back home warn me that they are "only interested in money" but I've never spent more than a meal at a decently priced restaurant for two. My current gf is significantly hotter than women who reject me back in the states and the only expensive thing about her is her love of instax photography. (that film ain't cheap, learn from me and do not get one of those cameras for your gf)

TLDR: if western women arent' interested in you, do everything you can to be able to sustainably live outside the bubble.
Yeah but the OP sounds like they saw the demo and are wondering how it's done now.
They are in the border, Only sprites, ghostbyte (a repeating byte only shown in black. It is the last byte of the chosen videobank) and background color can be displayed there.
A sliding scale would make sense. Don't use it? Don't pay anything. Fewer than x searches? Pay Y per search. More than z searches? Pay z * y for unlimited use.

I suspect this would also work great for streaming services, like HBO or Netflix. Rather than paying for unlimited use on 6 platforms OR spend fortunes on pay-per-view on yet another platform, just reward your most loyal customers but keep the door open for incidental users.
They were responding to "women are worse at handling rejection", and if they disagree with that (as I do too) then it is advancing the conversation to say so, even though it doesn't advance a part of the conversation that specifically explains dating app use.

No, I'd tell you that the cobalt for electric cars is only a tiny fraction of the total cobalt used, and that combustion engines also need a lot, AND that there's less un-ethical sources of cobalt that many manufacturers use.

But that's the nitpicker in me. The general point that our over-consumption drives like 80% of the bad things in the world still stands. The only real solution is to consume less.

Is the personnel shortage is because most people can't handle 8 hour shifts, then it's plausible that you'd have more than 4 times as many people that can handle 2 hour shifts

If 1 in 100k can handle 8 hours, and 1 in 10k can handle 2 hours, then the solution is to employ 4 times as many people for 2 hours.

Like many recent stories, there's so much BS going around it's hard to keep track.

Musk has been saying people have "broken the law" just for naming these people. Which seems bad (because we shouldn't have anonymous people doing what looks like criminal acts under the orders of oligarchs) and hypocritical since a big part of his DOGE work so far has been naming and shaming government employees for doing their actual legal jobs and making up elaborate lies about what they are doing.

The argument has now apparently moved on to whether we can threaten people who are secretly breaking the law at the behest of oligarchs.

But, I'm suspicious that these anonymous online death threats were actually made by Musk supporters to shift the discussion. A "false flag" if you will, as murdering even right-wing, privileged-background volunteer saboteurs of basic government services seems somewhat kneejerk even for the famously "death threats at the drop of a hat" anonymous internet crowd.
Reddit also got too sensationalist for me. Sure, everyone tells me 'choose the right subs', 'trick the algo, make it work for you', but I shouldn't have to, right?

hah, I would say that blaming voters is the best example of american stupidity I can think of. What do you expect when you have two parties that agree on virtually everything but abortion? Blaming the voters just enables this dynamic. At some point people need to get pissed off that we haven't had policy worth voting FOR since well before I was born, just an endless cycle of people explaining why nothing will ever improve and all our problems are intractable.

Trump is easy to laugh at, but he genuinely understands this country and how democracy functions on a level most people in DC and in newsrooms across the country completely fail to grasp. Why people aren't more pissed with the democrats for pushing unpopular losers is baffling.

Kubernetes Homelab in 2025
Hey folks - I want to share my learning journey up to Kubestronaut with the community and document my homelab / study environment as I go.

Happy for any questions or pointers on how to improve the setup.

Do you use a homelab as well to study for certifications?
I agree that you still need programming skills (today, at least). Yet people are using those programming skills less and less, as you can clearly see in the article [1] I referenced.

You are also making the assumption that LLMs won't improve, which I think is shortsighted.

I fully agree with the part about the job becoming more like product management. I would like to cite an excerpt of a post [2] by Andrew Ng, which I found valuable:

Writing software, especially prototypes, is becoming cheaper. This will lead to increased demand for people who can decide what to build. AI Product Management has a bright future! Software is often written by teams that comprise Product Managers (PMs), who decide what to build (such as what features to implement for what users) and Software Developers, who write the code to build the product. Economics shows that when two goods are complements — such as cars (with internal-combustion engines) and gasoline — falling prices in one leads to higher demand for the other. For example, as cars became cheaper, more people bought them, which led to increased demand for gas. Something similar will happen in software. Given a clear specification for what to build, AI is making the building itself much faster and cheaper. This will significantly increase demand for people who can come up with clear specs for valuable things to build. (...) Many companies have an Engineer:PM ratio of, say, 6:1. (The ratio varies widely by company and industry, and anywhere from 4:1 to 10:1 is typical.) As coding becomes more efficient, teams will need more product management work (as well as design work) as a fraction of the total workforce.

To address your last point - no, I am not saying people should skip learning a whole way of thinking. In fact, the skills I outline for the future (supervising AI, evaluating results) all require understanding programming concepts and system thinking. They do not, however, require manual debugging, writing lines of code by hand, a deep understanding of syntax, reading stack traces and googling for answers.

The aim should be to engineer the system so that you had over every piece of information that you have and that it is totally useless to anyone, either through encryption (that you don't have access to) or through not collecting it in the first place.
Well, I think so. Because many didn't understand they were fascists too.

The fascism was always in the vast majority of us, if we wanted to look at it. Just look at the structure of our workplaces, which accounts for half our waking lives. There's no free speech in them. With few exceptions, they're intensely hierarchical, people passing orders downward. Those "unlucky" enough to make it inside one of them, often sleep in the nearby alley.

The bizarreness of this form of organization isn't lost on those on top of the hierarchy. They're used to battalions of people doing what they want, and they seek out philosophers who apply this vision to other aspects of life. It wasn't hard; for example, the US had a 4 year king anyway. Usually a warmonger callous to the vast majority of his population.

One problem is "calling out." Name-calling. The current administration is showing direct action, which impresses many who find their lives increasingly intolerable. Many didn't like him, but rather rationally rolled the dice with the change candidate, even if it was probably going to end up as bad change. Like hitting the computer.
This has been a snowballing problem since Reagan fired 11,000 controllers for striking in 1981... so sort of, but not the one you're thinking of, and there's been plenty of both sides of the aisle doing nothing to solve the problem in the meantime.
> It's objective fact that Trump did not start a single war during his first term

No, its not. He certainly engaged in an armed conflict with Iran which was not an active conflict before his term.

> his successor Biden immediately went back to starting wars.

No, he didn't.

> No. More. Wars.

Since election, Trump has threatened war in or with Mexico, Denmark, and Panama, as well as the US actively completing the genocide Israel has started in Gaza. “No. More. Wars." Is very clearly not his priority.
The US is treated as a high-income country because incomes are high. Incomes in China are low. There's nobody disputing either of those claims.

USA NGDP per capita 2024: US$86,600, just below Norway.

China NGDP per capita 2024: US$13,000, just below Malaysia.

Their economy is large because there are more of them. That doesn't do anything for their income.
Except the Israeli/Palestinian conflict started way before the current Gaza event. For years Israel has forced the mass displacement of Palestinian (ask a Lebanese), blockaded Gaza, destroyed many of the civilian infrastructure, continue its colonization of the west bank (and further displacing population without any regard for international laws). The fact that they did not decide to straight up murder the whole population in one go doesn't make this less of a genocide. They have just been committed to it for years.
The raw query API is an admin-only API at least for now, since SQLite doesn't have a built-in concept of row-level security. From a client's perspective it's only RESTful APIs at the moment.

That said, you absolutely can generate code from the DB schema already. There are `/examples` (just none in C# yet).

I'm optimistic that C# will become increasingly important with respect to cross-platform mobile/desktop development and thus receive higher priority treatment in general.
Hope the US gets bad enough that people in the EU notice and decide they don't want to go down the same route?

Honestly though, I'm in the same situation and I don't know.

I did just start paid subscriptions to several media outlets that have been doing good reporting on the situation (Guardian, Verge). I unsubscribed to the Washington Post after they pulled their Harris endorsement (which was appalling), but their coverage since feels relatively thorough and they are well placed to report on all this so far, so I resubscribed. I already support PBS. I'll probably donate to Pro Publica next.

I expect media outlets will be under rapidly increasing pressure, so supporting them financially feels important and positive.

I've also have a standing donation to the NAACP legal defense fund from his first administration that I've just kept running.

So... money I guess?
