The rub is the insurance for the tankers. The providers are looking at the risk and saying “hard pass.” Unless the US govt wants to get in the tanker insurance business they are stuck.

For most people, I’d recommend a NuC or a NAS with an unlocked bootloader (so you can put Linux on) for a home server. Most home users need a small amount of compute, and are sensitive to noise and power use.

That thread (not Don Hos post, but some of the other post) is so cringe, so many people making very dramatic assertions about how they know better than everyone else. It’s borderline “Star Wars is better than Star Trek and anyone else who s

Yes. It uses the same linker as a C/llvm toolchain, by the time you link the object files from Rust are in the same format as the object files from C would be. You use the exact same linker script format too.

Agree on this so hard. Why does everyone expect instant patches and SLA-like infrastructure from unpaid volunteers? If you want that, buy a commercial distro of linux, or use Windows. That's a huge part of Microsoft's value propos

My dream is having an “app” on ipadOS that switches out userland from ipadOS to macOS when launched. Let them be two silos, containers, VMs, whatever. Only allow “Mac mode” if you have a keyboard and monitor attached. Hell, automatically “s

History has shown prohibition can be… problematic. Just tax it very very heavily and apply education / social pressure?

I would not be surprised at all, a $1,000/mo tool that makes your $20,000/mo engineer a lot more productive is an easy sell. I’m guessing we’re gonna have a world like working on cars - most people won’t have expensive tools (ex a

The article was entertaining and made me smile. Thank you for that. Real advice: national parks very much have seasons, be it weather, tourist (or lack thereof), wildlife, bugs, or all of the above. The same park can be a miserable experien

"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" I left when shows I enjoyed were a revolving door, and the UI felt hostile (constantly trying to shove terrible quality original content on me).

Is it really that hard to just hit cancel yourself? When you're holding a hammer all the world looks to be nails or something. EDIT: Also, there's no way in hell I'd let any of the AIs near something with my credit card info

Well yeah, it’s a toy example to illustrate a point in an HN discussion :). Imagine “silly mistake” is a parameter, and rename it “error_code” (pass by reference), put a label named “cleanup” right before the if statement, and throw in a to

I agree the wording is a bit alarmist, but a closer example to what they are saying is: bool silly_mistake = false; //... lots of lines of code free(x); //... lots of lines of code if (silly_mistake) {

I'm thinking of this like car radios. Most cars used to have this standard called DIN to put the radio in. Most cars today don't have DIN mounts anymore. We've gotten way nicer, bigger touch screens in our infotainment now si

The above post is making a case that the market will implode. I think there's a chance that's really gonna happen. I'm trying to find a silver lining. If the parts market survives that'd be awesome, but there's a re

It's also reasonable from a business point of view to say "we can't justify the investment to optimize our software in the current environment." I assume this is what's happening - people are trying to get their pro

There are upsides here as well! I think of things like the NUC or Mac Mini - ATX is from 1995, I'm hopeful computers will become nicer things as we trend away from the bucket-o-parts model. I'm very excited about the Steam Machine

Unfortunately, data center computers are not something you can just use as a consumer. They usually have custom connectors, and the parts are soldered down into rack-scale computers. They use custom water cooling that needs building-sized p

On the plus side, we've reached the end of Moore's law and are living in an amazing age of personal computing devices. M1 Apple Silicon MacBook Airs are still good computers 5+ years after release. Many games are still playable (a

The dead people on that airplane are a pretty strong contradiction too this. I’d love to see ATC funded by usage fees (some kind of “landing toll”) instead of the government (with some kind of licensing / oversight - like how pilots an

As an EV owner, I'm not sure I agree with this. I'd make less stops if not for the car's need. That said, it's a compromise I'm willing to accept since 99% of the time I'm not road tripping but commuting, and t

If you want to see the potential value of Claude, pick a somewhat isolated function in your code and tell Claude "write unit tests for this". Watch it write them, compile your code, validate the test, fix the ones it did something

Electricians are on a rip right now with all the data center build outs and will likely always be in demand.

fwiw this is how it's always been. You don't have to be some kind of extreme extrovert, but people who are good at what they do tend to enjoy working with other people who are good at what they do, and when they see someone they r

There were a ton of apartments built in lower-cost areas outside of the urban center as well - the Parmer area (near the new Apple campus), the Tech Ridge area near I-35, and out by the airport and Tesla factory as a few examples. It wasn&#
