I usually recommend Vanilla OS for non-tech savvy people, in case you're looking for something that just works. It will probably become limiting for you after a while since you like tinkering.
I'm a CS professor who used to write and develop the software behind a daily and weekly Pennsylvania covid report. I get the pain here. It's a messy, incompatible jumble without the CDC.

I suspect there is a degree of ‘magical immunity’ present for the people who don’t test positive for it.

I know I’ve been exposed countless times from similar experiences, and have always (100% of the time, n==10ish by now) tested negative for it.

Is that so weird? With how prevalent it is, I don’t see how it’s actually possible for <100% of people to not have it otherwise. Unless some large percentage of people are literally living in a bubble, anyway.
The price of "free" is very tempting. I guess the cost of the servers they offer is having to put up with idiotic requirements like "CPU utilization for the 95th percentile [must be more] than 20%" [1], or they'll shut off your server.

I use one of these servers for hosting some non-critical things, but nothing that I run there is particularly CPU intensive, so I was just forced to set up a cronjob that periodically spikes the CPU to 100% for a few minutes.

This statement is not true if your organization has very stringent deployment requirements or a release cycle that is measured in days rather than hours. If you can go from idea to deployment in under an hour, sure, you probably don’t need a fancy feature flag system. That’s not the case for a lot of organizations.

Went through the steps and ran it on a similar r6a.16xlarge and the model seems to only load after the first prompt. After that it takes maybe more than half an hour trying to load the model and still no answer. The context size in the post is also not validated in my experiment with the above. With 512GB of ram I cannot use more than 4k context size without the model outright refusing to load. I am new to model setups so I might have missed something.
This feels similar to C# and Microsoft's other CLR/.NET languages. Sure, they've broken away a bit and aren't exclusively used to run things on MS platforms, but still.

And Swift is even more tied to Apple, at least to my inexperienced eye. I'm not really an Apple person (Linux, Android), even though I once really enjoyed their hardware... Swift is so far down on my list of languages to look at that I probably will never get to it.

It wasn't downvoted - rather, the account is banned (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42653007) and comments by banned accounts are [dead] by default unless users vouch for them (as described by zamadatix) or mods unkill them (which we do when we see good comments by banned accounts).

Btw, I agree that that was a good comment that deserved vouching! But of course we have to ban accounts because of the worst things they post, not the best.

candidly, you need an unfair advantage - YC network, preexisting network of high net worth individuals, status/prestige/brand from high visibility past work, something. High status angels (such as exited founders) were the best source of intros to VCs for me but those relationships take several years to develop if you don’t have them already. And you need to already have results, or something that gives them conviction. My first few angels were people I was acquainted with for a few years before our early results impressed them and they asked to invest unprompted.

I signed up a personal Oracle Cloud account to make use of their always-free tier of VMs. I was lucky to be able to get 4 of the VM.Standard.A1.Flex instances which have been running fine for a couple of years now. I've heard various tales of people on the free tier getting instances/accounts deleted for having idle instances, but presumably my backup of them is enough to stop them from being registered as idle (I've got a couple of websites running on them too, but they're just for my use).

It is not possible to go into orbit from a single speed boost at the surface, even without an atmosphere, because the "orbit" would still contain the starting point. In other words, the orbit would intersect with the surface of Earth. (Well, unless you go all the way to escape velocity.) To fix this, an additional "apogee kick" is needed.

The Spinlaunch concept is to get a small rocket + payload to 60 km altitude. Then the rocket would fire and actually put the payload in orbit.

The catapult would only provide up to 2 km/s out of the ~ 10 km/s or so required to get to orbit. Saving those 2 km/s of rocket delta-v could be significant, because rocket size goes up exponentially with delta-v.

I never understood the removal of statues. I think everybody is capable of good and bad - we should still celebrate the good stuff they did and simply add a note that says "they were humans of their time and they screwed up by doing..... - let's not forget that even the great can screw up."

otherwise we keep perpetuating the myth that the great/rich/powerful can do no wrong.
When you have low gravity and little atmosphere, I can't imagine many scenarios where a spin launcher would be a better fit than a mass driver. One of the biggest problems with a mass driver on Earth is that you need to do it in a vacuum over a huge area, which isn't a problem with - say - launching from the moon. The spin launch approach makes some sense on Earth, given that you only have to build a (relatively) small vacuum chamber and a very well-timed airlock to let the payload get into the atmosphere.

But the counterweight issues, extreme G forces during spin-up, etc make it kind of a non-starter in my mind for other bodies; I'd love to hear arguments for it vs simple mass drivers off Earth.
Allocators were a mess too before they cleaned it up. It's entirely possible writers will go a similar way (though the type erasure does scare some people). I can't claim to know what's in the team's heads, but it seems the language is very much more stable compared to before, but the stdlib is generally up for grabs for quakes if a clearer way forward is found.
The cold hard truth of the world is that things are not evaluated solely meritoriously by everyone.

Send in the energetic and charismatic Oracle salesman, instantly invite this guy for all expenses trip to Aspen to discuss the deal, but don’t make it obvious, a few 5 star lunches locally first.

Do I need to spell out the details for you?

Once he’s back at his job and had a few days to recover then land the fish while the memories are still fresh, as long as your product MINIMALLY functions, they’ll sign.

Of course I personally think this is atrocious way of doing business, but I am wise enough to not let my rosy ideals prevent me from seeing the reality of the world, so there it is. That’s why “people continue to use ORACLE” products.
I very much doubt that is the problem. Lots of people would be happy for their more productive colleagues to get more money, if anyone asked them.

It's much more often managers who don't want to have this type of employee, because they fear for their positions or other similar issues. In particular, this happens via the absurd practice of refusing to give significant raises year to year, forcing the best workers to leave for a new company, taking all of their hard earned organizational knowledge.

Not to mention, I'm not talking about collective bargaining for salaries. This is about an economy-level change, not a company level or even industry level change. And it would benefit the best workers just as much as the worst.

> In return, you get _normal_ stack traces, and a normal debugging experience.

Whatever language you have in mind, it isn't C#. Because all those work perfectly fine there. Please also do a cursory read of what coroutines (stackful vs stackless) in the context of concurrency are. And in Go, all functions are colored, often in ambiguous way due to poor culture of not passing the context where it matters, and goroutines panicking in dependencies that cause uncatchable application crashes. Never change, Go community.
What I find interesting about these cases and the seemingly unrelated United Healthcare CEO assassination is that all were committed by extremely online data scientists who went to elite universities.

I’ve been fairly skeptical of the right wing narrative that these schools have been “radicalized” (seeing as universities and young people have always been the hotbeds of leftist thought, how soon we forget the hippie movement)…but this definitely has me wondering.

Also, why is data science a common thread?
I think you might have the history mixed up a bit. The Mono project started without Microsoft's involvement (and they were probably even annoyed by it at the time).

GNOME was betting on their own Vala language, which is still a thing, but never really gained much traction.

Eventually Microsoft bought Mono during their embrace of open source.

Debian on Thinkpad T480.
I’ve had multiple Thinkpad X1 carbon laptops with whatever the most recent Ubuntu LTS version. The hardware is well supported by Ubuntu, however I have experienced a few bugs with Gnome and the keyboards on newer X1 carbons are not as reliable. Since much of what people do these days is in a web browser, the difference between operating systems is not as meaningful these days.
For the first one, I got these results from the Deepseek app, after it "thought" for 156 seconds:

1. Take the wolf over
2. Return alone.
3. Take the goat over.
4. Bring the wolf back.
5. Take the cabbage over.
6. Return alone.
7. Take the wolf over.

It gave an invalid solution to the second one, but in the thinking steps it says:

Oh, right! The actual problem is that the goat will eat the cabbage if left alone. Similarly, the wolf will eat the goat if they're left alone.
Pick an image-based distro. I personally use Atomic Fedora Sway but there are many others in this vein.

The point is that out-of-box you get the ability to not only rollback to a previously working state of your distro, but also to run container images you build yourself on your computer. You can boot container images now with bootc.

This makes managing a Linux distro super easy, and rolling back experimental changes or package issues even easier.

Because you have to make the assumption that something will go wrong, sooner or later, you will have to use the commandline to troubleshoot and workaround issues. Unfortunately this is the case in every OS.

That's why a simple rollback process is the best gift to ordinary users.
> I tend to be really good at cutting off things early that won't work.

I tend to be bad at this because "this isn't working" becomes "oh interesting, this isn't working".

Fwiw, very rarely does that not lead to value. Its just that the value add can be later down the line or in a different project. But so often there's that "Ahha!" or "oh it's just like that" moments. But I think a lot of people have difficulties with long term rewards. I think it's good to have both though but I'm not sure any single person is good at both so you need both types of people.

Did you search by title or ISBN? If you search by title, the search goes through Google Books, which is very incomplete (since I didn't build a search database myself). If you put in an ISBN13 directly, you'll find a lot more books are included (I'd say you can only find 10-30% of books via the Google Books API)

It's a bit misleading I guess the way I added that feature.
The way this airspace is set up is very unusual where there is only about 150 feet of separation between the approach and the helicopter route. Normally there would be at least 500 feet and more likely 1000 feet of separation. Also the controller did call out the traffic but he wasn’t that specific about where it was, just that it was a CRJ, which you can’t even really tell at night. He also didn’t call out the traffic to the jet. To be fair to the controller though, he was working two positions simultaneously due to a controller shortage. He might have been able to be more helpful if he wasn’t so busy that night.

That’s an interesting point that I’d not considered. You’re essentially saying “code for code’s sake”, or “writing code in order to achieve a personal rather than industrial objective”, right?

machining and fabrication feels exciting and empowering, almost intoxicatingly so, when you first start. all the construction machinery, engineering, material science, logistics, it seems very important. it feels like you are definitely doing something cool and important. well, not you, but the people you hired. so its almost you, kinda, like, if you squint. but eventually you might find out that you have to actually have an understanding and knowledge of the subject that exceeds just about everyone else if you want to do something useful. but until the failures start rolling in and the money dries up, you can pretend you are cool.
