Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a sort of bank or a financial system where money couldn’t be moved without the owner’s explicit permission? Like, at all. Perhaps the rules could be enforced with code, and with digital signatures required for any ledger changes. Would be nice if it were globally distributed in a p2p fashion with no government having a say.

If only such a system existed.
On the contrary, you cannot lead without copying advances others make in their quest to catch up with you, or you'll be stuck having to rediscover everything yourself. Of course you cannot lead without any advances of your own either, but successfully copying what's known to work is already half the battle.
"It is the software equivalent of git asking the user what to do. Zero asks your code what to do."

You are asking the dev what to do. You are _not_ asking the user what to do. This is akin of the git devs baking in a choice into git on what to keep in a merge conflict.

It's hard to trust you guys when you misrepresent like this. I thought long and hard on whether to respond confrontationally like this, but decided you really need to hear the push back on this.
Sure. I don't disagree with that.

I think the Beat Generation (and mid-century Mississippi blues) from my earlier comment are also examples. Niche in their time. Automobile enthusiasts were a niche group. Early web forum users, IRC, ICQ... Predecessors of modern social media culture.

For an even more "on the nose" example would be the Homebrew Computer Club, Altair programmers and whatnot. I think we're all familiar with "disruption theory" by this point on HN.

The point is... is this a vanguard or a rear guard? Both have value. But... expecting the rear guard to "take off" is misguided.
From Wikipedia: "After the war, Shockley decided to attempt the building of a triode-like semiconductor device." If attempting (and succeeding) in using one's knowledge to produce a specific thing that does not currently exist is not invention, what is?

More generally, if there's no common truth then that itself cannot be a common truth...

Calibre has the worst possible UI, it's just that nobody knows how to improve it. Icons are beyond meaningless, menus are nested and super-specific, functionality is hidden behind context menus and unintuitive click behaviour, hover title text is abused for option documentation.

Calibre is an incredible piece of software, but of all the things it does great, the UI isn't one of them.

The system names of “the Gospel” and “Lavender” I find very offensive as a Christian and they are very intentional. Orthodox Jews can be violently anti-Christian and will even spit on them to replicate the treatment of Jesus at his crucifixion, the naming is not coincidental, it’s to mock Christianity. The alliance between Zionists and Evangelicals is a very bizarre phenomenon.
good points regarding the Canadian. For the Germans: I don't believe that the statements from the ministry are indicative of the three individual cases. Regarding one case, I read in an interview with him that he was detained because his English was poor: He said he "lived" in the USA when he actually meant to say he was just visiting there. That was enough to incarcerate him. Sure, he probably came across as a bit sketchy anyway because his fiancée is American and they have a long-distance relationship, but those are not valid reasons to treat him like that.
There is no argument about small groups' potential impact. The question is "what kind of group is this."

Out of scope for this article, but:

>Most leveling systems are too granular, with the levels separated by arbitrary characterizations. It’s makework. It’s fake science. It’s bureaucratic and encourages a non-thinking “climb the ladder” approach to career development. (“Hey, let’s develop you to go from somewhat-independent to rather-independent this year.”)

This is a funny, common requirement. Every junior developer is told they should feel free to ask questions - and now they have a financial incentive not to.

>> Additionally, even if the speed limit is changed, assuming there is appropriate signage it is your responsibility to follow the speed limit.

That's not how driving actually works in practice. Most of the time drivers rely on a learned sense of what the standard speed limit is based on the type of road. E.g. highways are 65 - 70, major roads are about 55, neighborhoods are 25 - 35, etc. When I learned to drive, the state's drivers manual literally had a section on what speed limit you should assume on different types of road if you haven't seen a sign.

That's to say nothing of situations where the sign is actually hidden. For example, I was once pulled over on a road that abruptly dropped more than 25 mph, on a significant downward slope, where a tree was growing in front of the speed limit sign.

Even if it does that early on you'd just land on unrelated legislation. You'd notice pretty quick that it's about a whole different topic.

The reason I do it in combination with normal search is that normal search will often get clogged up by 3rd party websites and at best lead you to only the main legislation. The LLM is likely to name you the main legislation so you can search for it directly by name and also mention other major related pieces.
>And just to rant a bit: as someone who lives on a too-straight street (but very local and with pedestrians, including, children, walking on often) where dickheads constantly drive well past the limit because they probably think they know best what's "acceptable", I would love them to get hefty fines every time they did it.

Once again, you're doing a great job illustrating how we got to the status quo we have. You're littering in the park, ideologically speaking. You want heavy handed enforcement on your pet issue. Like litter it's not a problem a a few people do it but when you multiply by every other shortsighted person who does the same and the end result is the political will to allow law enforcement to get away with beyond the pale behavior like in TFA.
I work mostly on the JVM world, with Java/Kotlin. Two comments:

In Java: I can build stuff from the early 2000's without changing a line, most likely, if it's using Maven or Ant to build. If it's Gradle, we may have trouble with the JVM version even if Gradle wrapper is used, and if it's not, well good luck as Gradle has evolved hugely since the early days (I think early 2010's if my memory is any good).

In Kotlin: has been a wild ride for me... not like JS, maybe... more like what you describe from Rust. I mean, in 4 years you've had a breaking change, that's horrifying for someone used to Java :D. Kotlin does require a lot of upkeep compared to Java, specially when combined with said Gradle. More if you use KTest... much more if you use KTor... and a hell of a lot more if you use Kotlin MP, which we do on one of our projects (though I acknowledge we were early adopters).

I didn't say China didn't steal/copy. The US sent spies to Great Britain to try to steal their cotton machine designs during the industrial revolution. Europe copied China's paper making, book printing, gun powder, noodles, compass.

Such is the cycle of civilization.

Once advanced enough, China will have its own problem of other nations stealing their tech.

One neat Nix feature is development shells, which let you define isolated shell environments that can be activated by invoking `nix develop` (or via direnv upon entering a directory):

devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
packages = with pkgs; [ opentofu terragrunt ];
};

I can then use these tools inside the devShell from my jobs like so:

jobs:
terragrunt-plan:
runs-on: [self-hosted, Linux, X64]
defaults:
run:
shell: nix develop --command bash -e {0}
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Plan
run: terragrunt --terragrunt-non-interactive run-all plan

Since I'm doing this within a Nix flake all of the dependencies for this environment are recorded in a lock file. Provided my clone of the repo is up to date I should have the same versions.

"I don't understand why there's no startups making open source modular electronics."

I would love to do exactly that, but so far I have not found any way how I could do that and still have a regular salary. Of course, I could do it for free as a generous gift to Chinese factories who will then produce things and flood Amazon with it ... but they won't reciprocate and donate back to the Open Source project. The OS project will quickly stagnate and future development stops.

The fix is that the Open Source project needs to sell hardware, or else there's no revenue to fund further development. And that means you now also need FCC and CE certification. And you need patents. Or else, Chinese factories will flood Amazon with your design. (but without paying for FCC/CE)

But now that you can successfully sell hardware to fund future development and you can fend off Chinese clones, your project is not really "open" anymore. It's kind of like an OEM module that is "source available". Like the Adafruit kits that you can order from Amazon/Arrow.

The President is not some automaton who has to keep departments running because Congress created the department. He has lots of leeway and decision making power. In this case, ED was not completely shut down, its functions were severely reduced. Which the President has authority to do.

I own a 1992 Specialzied Epic Allez with carbon tubes bonded to aluminium lugs. I had an issue with a bond failing at the chainstay and it was repaired but the carbon tubes themselves are still going strong.

I am familiar with the failure mode of bonded frame, we had a number of vitus bikes in the family and usually they just become so noodly you stop before the bond is giving up totally. To be honest I am more concerned about the fatigue of the aluminum fork legs which is the reason I recently ordered a steel fork for the next time I am riding it.
That works great until the user's explicit permission is coerced or scammed out of them. In those situations it's nice to have the protections of a conventional financial system.

HA! I used REALbasic a bit back in the day, then spent my time comparing it to LiveCode, back then called Revolution. Geoff Perlman and I once co-presented at WWDC to compare the two tools.
PocketFlow calls itself "agentic" due to its "agentic coding" paradigm (AI agents like Cursor building apps), but this is about development, not runtime behavior. At runtime, it’s a workflow system. This stretches Anthropic’s definition, where "agentic" implies dynamic LLM control during execution. I think this si where the misunderstanding stems from.
I don’t think many white people truly understand what it’s like to be a minority trying to travel to the United States.

As a personal anecdote, my family and I have been naturalized Canadian citizens for over a decade. We travel frequently on our Canadian passports and rarely encounter issues visiting the EU or UK is usually smooth and pleasant. But the U.S.? That’s a very different story.

Every time we try to cross the border, we’re pulled aside for additional questioning. Our belongings are thoroughly searched, and the process often takes hours, causing us to miss flights or arrive late.

Why? Because the country of birth listed on our passports is an Islamic country.

None of us have returned there in years. I don’t even follow Islam, I’m a Christian. And yet, U.S. officers repeatedly question me about my intentions, sometimes quoting verses from the Quran, as if I’m part of a terrorist organization. Then they seemingly get offended when I reply with "I don't know which year Mohammad was born, I'm not a Muslim."

The experience is deeply dehumanizing. From the holding area, we watch white travelers breeze through with a smile and a passport flash, while we’re treated with suspicion and delay.

For the longest time, no one seemed to care about this kind of treatment until it started affecting Europeans. Suddenly, it’s headline news. Sadly, issues like these often go ignored until they impact white Westerners or their government decides they matter. As an example, look at Gaza, which has been suffering for decades with barely a whisper until the West turned its attention briefly.

All that said, I’m genuinely glad this conversation is finally happening. And despite everything, I have nothing but love for the American people. They’re incredibly kind, and the U.S. is home to some of the most breathtaking nature I’ve ever seen. Which is why, despite the above, I am always eager to travel there.

I've looked at CRDTs, and the concept really appeals to me in the general case, but in the specific cases, my design always ends up being "keep-all-the-facts" about a particular item. But then you defer the problem of 'which facts can I throw away?'. It's like inventing a domain-specific GC.

I'd love to hear about any success cases people have had with CRDTs.

I believe there's an art in choosing the right tools and frameworks. A big one i think is whether it solves a problem that no other tools have solved - rather than just an improvement.

The way these llms works are extensively documented and published, there are thousands of scientific papers about it, and even if you are not inclined to that you can find hundreds of youtube videos explaining how it works.

Their very disclaimer states it should not be relied upon as a source of truth.

Anyone who cares to know, knows that.

If this guy didn't, it's because he didn't care to know.
Large jumps should be plainly illegal, and bad visibility of signage should be a defense in the court.

This has to be legislated at the state level, though, or the municipalities will go wild in their policing for profit.

I represented that we ask the dev what to do:

> Zero asks your code what to do

You agree that's what we do:

> You are asking the dev what to do. You are _not_ asking the user what to do.

I get that your actual issue is you don't think that what we do is "the software equivalent of git asking the user what to do". But like, I also said what we do concretely in the same paragraph. It's not like I was trying to hide something. This is a metaphor for how to understand our approach to conflict resolution that works for most developers. Like all metaphors it is not perfect.

FWIW, there is nothing stopping a developer from having this function just save off a forked copy and ask the user what to do. Some developers do this.

Also FWIW, Zero does not allow offline writes specifically because we want to educate people how to properly handle conflicts before we do. I see down-thread this is the majority of your concern.

That’s a horrendously bad take, running as uid0 in the container doesn’t mean “no sandboxing whatsoever”. You’re still namespaced with respect to pids/network interfaces/filesystem/etc, and it’s not supposed to be possible to escape it, even when running as root in the container.

Is it possible to do container escapes on occasion? Yes, but each of those is a bug in the Linux kernel that is assigned a CVE and fixed.

Running as non-root in the container is an additional layer of security but it’s not all-or-nothing: doing so doesn’t make you perfectly secure (privilege escalation bugs will continue to exist) and not doing so doesn’t constitute “nothing whatsoever”.
