> According to Walsh's presentation, the root cause of the conflict is that the Docker daemon is designed to take over a lot of the functions that systemd also performs for Linux. These include initialization, service activation, security, and logging. "In a lot of ways Docker wants to be systemd," he claimed. "It dreams of being systemd."

This is just someone who doesn't understand what or why Docker is. And when Docker was developed and released (2013), systemd was barely an init system, let alone the monster with 50 tentacles it is today.

> My key take - Docker's developers cared about moving forward fast and making dev's life easier, not about integrating into existing systems well (which probably alone is the reason why Docker was born - see how FreeBSD guys keep believing they have Jails and it's superior over Docker).

100% agreed. That's why it's useless to compare to systemd.

Show HN: I missed YouTube snake game, so I made this extension to bring it back
Hello everyone!
In the old days, when you were waiting for a video to load, pressing the down arrow key would bring up a simple snake game that you could play while watching the video.
I made this extension to bring that feature back.
Press S to start the game, then ASDW to play. You can also press "Q" to change the colour (to keep it visible on different backgrounds), or "E" to see your current and maximum score.

It's available in the Firefox addons store, for Chrome you have to install it manually.

Have fun with it!
Thanks for the reply! I remember Claude's Artifacts, but that wasn't the one I had in mind. It was a project for an editor, very similar to Canvas, possibly available on GitHub. It stood out for its minimalistic approach and the way it handled text formatting. Do you (or anyone else) recall what it might be?
Yes, i know that the subway is way safer than driving. The post i was responding to, however, does not.

As I get older (and watch my parents get much older) I see a desire for a completely stable computer system that continues to work exactly the same way for timescales of decades. Currently this is impossible in the Windows or Mac ecosystems -- the operating system will go out of support, and force an upgrade, and then things will work differently. And maybe the upgrade requires new hardware, and then there is no way to bring your old programs across and hard to bring all your data across and then everything is different. Maybe its possible in the linux ecosystem, though there sure are a lot of people saying you have to stay on the update treadmill or else you'll get eaten by the script kiddies and their internet worms.

Maybe there is an approach using something like BoxedWine, to have a stable user-facing system that can be 100% ported to new hardware or underlying OS?

Checking: it's 6 tons dropped 2 meters to launch a 100kg payload. If straight up, it could go 6000*2/100 or 120 meters. Visualize a launch for range vs. for height, and guess it can go roughly twice as far horizontally as up.

(The OP ends up at 210 meters.)

> It's pretty clear that he did not do any sort of "fascist salute"

O RLY

I guess this is basically our era's version of "point to a deer, call it a horse" (指鹿爲馬) [1]:

> Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, "Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?" Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly. Thereafter the officials were all terrified of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao gained military power as a result of that.

6502 really has 262 registers: 256 zero page plus those standard ones mentioned. Or 260 for 6510, as zero page addresses 0 and 1 are for I/O.

Practically anything non-trivial uses those zero page addresses as extra registers.

Agree, I like the 6502 architecture but tend to steer newcomers in vintage computers away from it if they have no previous ASM experience.

I started on PIC16 assembly, and dabbled in a bunch of other architectures, but my favorite in terms of cleanness has been MIPS32.

Nitpick: you can still buy new made 6502s, MCUs with 6502 cores, and peripheral chips from Western Design Center. They sell through e.g. Mouser:

I don't have any expertise here but my assumption would be the studios have a better way to manage digital content and rights compared to previous. It could very well be they have content available, free of rights, that can be uploaded to YouTube for monetisation.

> I know you’re trying to manufacture a case for Tesla’s failure

The CyberTruck launch has faced significant challenges, to say the least, and Tesla's sales have dropped by 50% in key European markets. In California, the largest US EV market, Tesla sales have also declined significantly. Meanwhile, Hyundai and Kia have seen significant sales increases and market share growth in 2024. These are the facts as they stand.
Could you say why? It doesn’t feel much like it to me at all!
Plus, learning PDP-11 ASM explains some of the idioms from C as they map directly onto the architecture! "Pointer to a pointer" is just a native addressing mode, for instance.
I know a few people working at SpaceX. Most are good. But a few I wonder how they ever got hired there.

As a customer of SpaceX, though, I have to say their customer service is barebones. It is almost a relief when I work with another launch provider since they provide a much better service and support. I always compare it to a low cost airline in my head, like flying Spirit instead of Emirates kind of thing.
RagXO: Git-Style Version Control for RAG Pipelines
The US has what from the outside looks like a very odd combination of:

- violent anti-government rhetoric (not a new phenomenon at all)

- huge availability of guns

- explicit links between the two by second-amendment advocates of violence against the government

- very little of what would normally be called political violence (Jan 6 is an exception, but a significant one)

- a huge amount of "radicalized" gun violence against schoolchildren (Columbine to Uvalde, etc)

This doesn't feel very stable. It relies on people's actions never matching their words. As soon as someone turns a gun on an elected representative there's a risk of the situation escalating. Or someone could independently reinvent the carbomb, a common factor in situations from the IRA to Iraq.

Interesting. This might explain why racism so often shows up in crowds wanting to overthrow the government: if you genuinely believe your people are naturally superior to others, then you might actually come to believe your success has nothing to do with your institutions.

ASCII, by way of that character encoding standard, implies that dark age before writing and transmitting 'café' or 'Warschauer Straße' or '€10' or '¡olé!' just worked. Not a great marketing point.

Frustrated with Looker Studio? We have a free AI-based alternative
Hi HN,

I would like to introduce DATAKI, a tool that was born out of frustration with Looker Studio.

Dataki aims to simplify the challenge of turning raw data into beautiful, interactive dashboards. DATAKI is an AI-powered analytics platform that lets you connect your data (currently supporting BigQuery, with PostgreSQL, MySQL and many more coming soon) and get insights easily.

Unlike existing tools like Looker Studio, Tableau, or Power BI, which require you to navigate complex abstractions over data schemas, DATAKI makes data exploration intuitive and accessible. With advancements in AI, these abstractions are becoming obsolete. Instead, Dataki uses widgets—simple combinations of SQL queries and charts.js configurations—to build your dashboards.

Instead of writing SQL or memorizing domain-specific languages, you simply ask questions in natural language, and the platform generates interactive charts and reports in response.

It's a blend of a notebook, a chatbot, and a dashboard builder all rolled into one.

Some key points:
- Leveraging modern AI models (like *O3-mini and Gemini 2.0 PRO*) to interpret and process your queries.
- Offering an intuitive, no-code experience that lets you quickly iterate on dashboards and share your findings with your team. But also feel free to modify the generated SQL.
- Build beautiful dashboards and share them with your team.

Dataki is still growing, and I'm excited to see how users leverage it to make data-driven decisions. If you're interested in a more conversational approach to analytics, check it out at [dataki.ai](http://dataki.ai) – and feel free to share your thoughts or questions!

Thanks,
Okay, so these citizens are federal employees. Guess what, the First Ammendment still gives them the right to tell politicians what they should be doing.
Ahh, interesting...

How would you structure your workflow to protect from potentially malicious PDFs?

I had originally thought of setting up an inotifywait watcher that would look for downloaded PDFs to swap downloaded files (while leaving a *_with-risky-active-contents.pdf copy).

After thinking for a bit about your comment, I thought about creating a .desktop file that first cleans the PDF via `docker run --runtime=runsc -it ubuntu gs ...` that then proceeds to launch the viewer, and is associated as the main reader of PDF documents...

But now I am wondering if this should be integrated into clamav and other antivirus clients (and unblocking on a case-by-case basis).

Seeking climate connections among the oceans' smallest organisms
I completely agree (and the answer is none of the above). Instead of hundreds of people, a dozen will be enough for the entire pre-production, production and post-production cycle of a high-quality movie. A blockbuster production with the cost of an indie film. Or at least the human resource cost, because there's no guarantee the actual cost of AI will be that cheap.
Flight controllers execute the mission, but they also rely on the engineers who built the things and wrote the procedures. Flight controllers often are young, even today and even in control centres outside SpaceX. The engineers designing and building the systems tend to be a bit older.

Only thing I could find about GridFormer and tables was this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.14962v1

But there is no GitHub link or details on the implementation. Only model available seems to be one for removing weather effects from images: https://github.com/TaoWangzj/GridFormer

Could you care to expand on how you would use GridFormer for extracting tables from images? Seems like it's not as trivial as using something like Excalibur or Tabula, both which seem more battle-tested.
I was late to reply but this question is good. Here's the answer why I do not trust my country and trust foreign countries. No offense please, it is just my thoughts and personal opinion after years if being treated well by my own government.

Imagine this: You are a US citizen, and during COVID your kid gets a rash on their ass. You take a photo and send it to the doctor via some google service. Then google flags it, reports you to the police, and now you're in "the game", even though you did nothing wrong and were a responsible parent.

Same thing but if you had used a chinese service like Tencent (i do not know what they have as apps), nobody would care what medical images you're sending. So, who’s actually the bigger risk to your privacy and security?

And this is only the basic use case. Now imagine you're a drug dealer and you want to host your blog post explaining what experiments you did in your basement with different compounds. I guess north korean hosting companies will be your best bet.

And also I am pretty sure the opposite direction works as well, if you want to say that your president looks like a certain animated character, better use some US or EU company that have no business interests in your country.

>the gen. AI hypetrain bullshit

I seriously can't understand this take at all. Its like people going on and on about how much better horse drawn carriages are compared to cars.
The Constitution makes clear that all executive power is invested in the president. https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/articles/art.... It’s literally the first sentence of Article II.

So you can have a civil service (and the framers assumed there would be one) but Congress can’t insulate the civil service from the president’s direct supervision. That’s obviously true—because the presidential election is the only way people have to politically influence the internal operation of the executive branch itself.
The main problem is if you are not very careful it leaks its internals (ie. the relational model) into everything it touches. That's what the N+1 query problem is. Business logic shouldn't have to know that certain attributes will cause database queries. By carefully writing managers and having a rule to never use querysets anywhere else you can avoid it, but it requires everyone to understand this and all the Django docs and examples everywhere will just randomly drop a queryset into a view or do a `prefetch_related` because they know that some higher-level function is going to need access to that attribute (ie. coupling code together).

Ultimately Django just doesn't fully do the object-relational mapping. It maps single rows, but that's it. So it doesn't really support objects that contain lists or sets etc. Things like SQLAlchemy can actually map data from a relational database into plain old objects. Those objects can be instantiated (e.g. in tests) completely independently of the database. Notice how in Django you can't test anything without a database being present? Why do I need to store an object in a db just to test some method on an entity?
Or maybe Google rejects the vast majority of applicants, so there’s no way to know.
Yes, that's what I pointed out when you suggested there would be a problem with two different users having the same password.
This discussion contains well argued points about the 6502 vs other instruction sets. Does anyone know of resources/books that I could read that would help me have a more informed opinion on the pros/cons of each instruction set?

What I'm hearing is that if the government kills someone, only their immediate family members are allowed to protest. We shouldn't protest when the government is killing people who aren't related to us, even if our relatives could be next.
Nahhh, Musk will have it figured out in 6 months. I know it's true because he said so (s).

Human drivers are better because many are bad at basic math.

They often don't fully consider depreciation and maintenance on their vehicle. And many of them don't carry commercial insurance which puts them at increased financial risk in an accident. They often fail to fully account for time consumed by the return trip. All of which become more prevalent and significant with increased miles and time on the road.

These "hidden costs and risks" are often absorbed by unsuspecting drivers in the ride share lottery --- which only works to benefit the ride sharing platform.

Are they behind? China has a space station and they have done a sample return from the Moon. They've landed on Mars as well. If you stick to a narrow definition of rockets, there's a case to put SpaceX ahead. But overall, they are closing the gap with the US very quickly. I would not be surprised if they put humans on the Moon before Artemis or SpaceX.
There is some political-philosophical irony that the Chinese prefer their government to do the blocking and take away their freedom, while the US prefers their monopolistic capitalistic corporate world to do it. A rose by any other name. Chose your friends carefully.
Thanks, yes, using bcrypt. Usually just with something like PHP's password_hash() and the default algorithm. I sort of expected to trigger people with my post, and it's enlightening, but I feel pretty safe with what I'm doing. I mean, I like to know exactly how everything in my engine works. But there's a point at which I can't get paid to reinvent the wheel anymore, nor do I want to try.
I'm sure they've got more mature systems in place today. But there's still some threshold of income vs. effort at any company. I freely admit to having no idea what that threshold looks like for a lot of old content--a lot of which was never digitized--at various studios.

Audiophile's are famous for spending a lot of money on "snake oil" to get results that objectively cannot be heard and then claim the sound is better. Sometimes the sound is better, but the human ear cannot tell (lab equipment can). Of even the best lab equipment cannot find a difference.

Good enough if you are happy is good enough. Maybe you can do better in ways you can hear, but with "Flac is my source, decent DAC, decent cans" you are probably getting close to the edge of what the human ear can hear anyway (assuming good audio in that Flac, and the DAC/cans really are decent as you claim)
