Alpine Linux Seeking Support After Equinix Metal Sunsets
Fast-forward in 10 years, we will have 128 GB of memory in our devices, better packed models and optimized LLM acceleration chips. Seems fine to run DeepSeek-R1 locally. So, no more OpenAI for day-to-day use unless a deep internet search is needed.

Tract home builders are building hundreds of homes in quick succession. 1 house in 100 days, but also 500 houses within 2 years.

There is no slack, because each team has to be operating in lockstep so work never stops, otherwise margins tank and a profitable project becomes a loss.

The expertise of managing and executing this non trivial task is why those businesses succeed, and why landowners outsource development to them.

There's probably going to be a flood of lawsuits, complaints, etc. following this. Cleaning up inefficient gov processes and waste would be good, but this is the completely wrong way to go about it. A single team, made up of extremely young people, some of which haven't even finished college yet, is not qualified in the slightest to do so. This is on top of them having no gov experience, and experience with how things work on the individual teams they're trying to clean out.

Not to mention they've probably already accessed Secret and up levels of classified data without a clearance, which would get any normal gov employee fired and potentially thrown in jail depending on the offense.

I also want to highlight that OPM is the backbone of workers rights for the government. Most skilled positions working directly for the gov are already underpaid. OPM was one of the few pros they had to offer; robust worker rights that are required across the fed.
Graphene Flagship was an irredeemable disaster. €1 B pumped into research and commercialisation and the result is a DOA graphene industry in the EU, left in the dust by China and the US.

Clean Sky Joint Undertaking was also a disaster that missed all its targets.

As stated elsewhere, CERN is a cautionary tale - the LHC is a vestige of a time when Europe was an economic and scientific powerhouse. If the last 15-20 years we have become an also-ran to the US and China.

* Human Brain Project
* European Processor Initiative
* Innovative Medicines Initiative
* LIGHTest
* The Once-Only Principle Project
* OpenAIRE

This is a snide, low-effort comment that didn't have the bare minimum of effort put into it to research whether or not its core premise was correct, and actively degrades the quality of discourse on HN.

It would have taken thirty seconds to Google "President Trump administration priorities" and come up with https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/01/pres...

The efficacy or utility of those priorities doesn't matter - the fact is that the claim that "the only (or top) priority is reducing waste" is trivially easy to invalidate, in addition to making the gross logical error that good uses of taxpayer money (of which "making sure that the taxpayers are aware of what their money is being used for" is one) and bad/inefficient uses of taxpayer money are equivalent, which doesn't even require a Google search to understand is wrong.

Comments like this shouldn't be on HN. The guidelines directly state "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle." (which is what this comment did) and that HN is for intellectual curiosity, which also didn't happen because it took less than a minute to invalidate the core premise of this comment. HN is explicitly for intellectual curiosity and thoughtful discussion like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42874301 - not this.

You can build a tract of homes in 90 days (or less) using stick frame. They won't be fancy, but they'll be up to code (and with a little extra cost (<10%) and effort, they can be made much more efficient than just code).

A crew of 4-5 guys (plus some subs) can build a custon home in 80 days:

If you pipeline that and use a standardized, cookie-cutter plan an entire row can be build out in a similar time frame. Production builders do it all the time:

* https://www.newhomesource.com/learn/custom-or-production-bui...

There are of course mass-manufactured elements that can speed things up, like using trusses. There are also now services for pre-cut framing that saves on-site effor of measuring and such:

>I literally just quoted the poem

You and I both know that this is not your first day on the Internet. Are you really claiming to be unfamiliar with the fact that that the poem's most frequent use online is as an all-size-fits-all riposte against any and all immigration enforcement? What pfannkuchen said, "So it’s quite weird to reference that poem as if America is in danger of losing some virtue it used to have back at that time", very well describes its typical usage.
All the things you describe are done automatically on program exit, even if the program is SIGKILL’ed. The kernel cleans up file descriptors, database transactions are rolled back automatically when the client disconnects (which it should be observed to be when the program exits and the kernel closes the connection as part of cleanup), and I’m not sure what you mean about mutexes, but if you mean in-memory ones, those don’t matter because the program is gone (if you mean like, file-based ones, those also should be implicitly unlocked by the kernel when the program exits, at least that’s how a good implementation is supposed to work, e.g. by writing the pid to the file or something.)

The whole of modern operating systems are already very familiar with the idea of programs not being able to exit gracefully, and there’s already a well understood category of things that happen automatically even if your program crashes ungracefully. Whole systems are designed around this (databases issuing rollbacks when the client disconnects, being a perfect example.) The best thing to do is embrace this and never, ever rely on a Drop trait being executed for correctness. Always assume you could be SIGKILLed at any time (which you always can. Someone can issue a kill -9, or you could get OOM killed, etc.)

Could Matiyasevich's result be viewed in the same vein as Turing’s Halting Problem, but in an even more compact form regarding the limits of mathematics and logic? Diophantine equations are expressed in a simpler form than Turing machines, which makes the size and expressiveness of the problem particularly interesting for study.

What an incredibly sharp phrasing there!

Your analysis overall seems really astute too, but what you just articulated there is too good. I almost want to try to compressing it even further -- what is needed most of all is short, concise rallying cries that draw attention and raise consciousness, and that's gotta be a great example of one.

I wonder what else could be said to really draw people's attention to this sort of thing, to try to achieve any sort of reform among liberals, to wake them up from centrism and complacency.

Looking for application security engineer roles.
For the past 5 years I have been building security tooling that internal teams can make use of. I work closely with other teams to help improve the security posture of their apps. I help write documentation and host department wide presentations to educate others about web app security and steps they can take to make apps more secure. I took on the responsibility of managing our H1 Bug Bounty Program which previously was failing SLA targets by 10+ months and managed to bring it down to days. I have helped mentor interns and junior developer and also been active in conducting pair programming interviews for future candidates. What you get from me is a go-getter, self-motivated individual. I am always looking to improve not only myself but also my work.

> Many of us use science and logic daily, in conversations, and there are well received physicists who argue for an existence of a God using logic. The Bible says to use both wisdom and knowledge (logic and science).

Context: you’re replying to someone who spent his entire elementary school education in a private Christian school and even through the first year of high school was part of a “leadership group” going to Bible bowls.

So tell me one line in Genesis or Exodus that makes sense scientifically? Do you think humans ever lived to be 900 years old? The Jews ever being in Egypt has never been backed up by any historical record. Do you believe any of the miracles have a scientific basis? Do you believe in creation or evolution? Noah’s ark?

Now let’s go to the New Testament. Do you believe that Jesus was born to a virgin? He arose from the dead?

You can not believe anything that the Bible said happened and be science based.

100% right - I've been training for +20 years and have indirectly coached a bunch of people around me hoping they would get motivated... My son also joined me 7-8 years ago he's now 20 and feels great working out regularly.

If it helps anyone - training regularly not only builds muscles it destresses you and keeps your mind in check. What used to be stressful is now much easier to manage as I'm able to pass these challenges during a training session.

Kudos to anyone starting out - it's never too late to feel better. Cheers.

I’m a full-stack developer with a preference for backend. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in everything from avionics to WordPress to heavy GIS data processing. I love solving complex problems (make them as simple as possible, but no simpler), designing for scalability and sustainability, and mentoring engineers.

I’m a builder and coach at heart, and will happily build software, do product development, architect systems, or step into a leadership / management role. That said, you don’t want me to be your interface designer, but I can implement someone else’s design just fine.

It seems I do my best work as a strong #2, supporting a leader that values ideas and feedback, whether in a management or IC role. (Working Geniuses: invention and enablement. Working Frustrations: galvanizing and tenacity)

To be fair in 2007 it really did seem like google could completely destroy microsoft monopoly on enterprise software with google docs, google sheets and google workspace.

And then they just didn't? They just gave up, only small companies use google workspace these days and excel is as entrenched as ever.

I suppose the google meet/google talk/google hangouts explains a lot of why this hypothetical future didn't happen. If google had a serious person in the helm doing long-term strategy microsoft would already be dead and buried (or worse IBM-fied). Instead the CEOs stock market min-maxers took over.

It seems an unintended side effect of the Jones act was to insulate the US shipbuilding industry from international competition, leading to them resting on their laurels while the rest of the industry worked hard to improve productivity (see Japan, South Korea, and lately China). Which makes it even harder to repeal, since with a repeal of the Jones act the wildly noncompetitive (civilian) US shipbuilding industry would fold in an instant.

So a repeal of the Jones act would need to be coupled to an extended investment program into the shipbuilding sector. Say, something like how the SEA economic miracle worked, by requiring, as a condition for various subsidies, the yards to export a certain % of the production in order to ensure prices are competitive.

Even so, given US wage levels it's a fantasy to believe that US shipyards could compete with, say, China. But there are shipyards in other high-income countries e.g. in Europe that manage to survive through a combination of various subsidies and focusing on high-end specialized vessels such as cruise ships, icebreakers etc.

This misconception is common among US official/think tanks especially related to DOD because the way Chinese government operated is so counter-intuitive from US perspective (probably many other governments). It's actually same as how China makes economics policy: First assess the "inevitable" future, than make a plan to better adapt to that future (e.g. Battery, EV, Solar...actually a lot more examples before those). This means China is constantly making policies considered "ineffective" because in many cases they don't have a clear goal (build the capbility for the sake of the build). On contrast US sets a clear goal first and build the capbility accordingly, which means you build the capbility for a purpose.

For some reason people can't translate the same process when talking about military capbility. The current assessment from China probably is some version of "China will be regard as superpower. to be regarded as a credible superpower, credible superpower level army is required". While most US officials think China builds this military power for a concrete goal (why spend money if you don't plan to use it?).

This misconception at least has been communicated by some US intellectuals many times though I think it's not very effective under current geopolitical climate.

> Why is it this way? As best as I can find it's so that destructors always run in reverse order of construction, I guess there could be some edge cases there that matter. It's not the strongest argument, but it's not nothing.

I have seen my share of teardown races that were fixed by reordering data members. There's nothing quite like having a mutex torn down before the object that it's guarding.

Running destructors in reverse order of construction is really the only thing that makes sense in an RAII world. It's the same argument as running the destructors in reverse order of construction when exiting a scope.

That's still not a great reason for designated initializers being restricted in the same way they were in C90, especially given the advantage of hindsight. It makes a ton of sense if you have explicit dependencies between data members created during construction, but I can't see a way that you can create those dependencies with designated initializers.
