Sir, what is Hacker News?Isn't hackering illegal?
I have advanced autism and have never experienced a real human emotion and I think this dystopic tech idea is brilliant. I worship the ground that Sam Altman walks on.
>>107070994I have a few qualms with this app:1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using git on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
@Dang can you please fix the title of this thread?This is actually not a larp but satire and there are no threads on 4chan since it's an image board, not a classic forum.I've recently been considering that a blockchain based upvote based FAAS Forum as a Service with paid government bootlicking moderators is the only way forward.

>>107070994>back in the day when i made windows 95I feel like my path was pre-determined ever since my dad brought home this wonderful computer back in 1986. I enjoyed Windows 95, but Atari ST, originally intended for serious tasks like writing letters and articles is hard to beat.Later in my life I studied computer science and pursued a career as a software developer. At KUKA, I help create system software for industrial robots. As part of a large company it isn’t always easy to keep the spirit as my influence on the products is obviously limited. At some point, I missed the feeling of actually having the world at my fingertips. It was time to go back to the roots.
I completely agree with Management's Return-to-Office mandates. It's important for new hires to experience the office atmosphere. Maybe it'll be a pain for most people to drive for hours, but that's their problem.

>>107070994I remember someone there posted a demo of WebGL and that they had ported Doom 3 to it so it could be played it the browser.I posted a comment saying: Cool, but why? The game is large and if you have to wait a long time you might as well just download a native executable, as it'll have much better performance.This comment was downvoted heavily and eventually removed. Without any justification.
>>107071839Because your a god damn faggot. How cool is doom3 in the browser? Oh the Download takes a long time? How about living in a place with decent internet speed?They shouldn't have removed your comment they should've removed you from the genepool.
>>107070994With respect, and I genuinely mean this, I think we are all doing ourselves a disservice by conflating technical prowess with aesthetic preferences popularized by an anonymous imageboard. The focus here seems to be entirely on "rice" the visual configuration which is precisely the kind of low-hanging fruit that distracts from meaningful contribution and genuine systems understanding. It’s the visual equivalent of bikeshedding.The entire thesis of “Arch Purity” and the perpetual gatekeeping regarding window managers (always i3 or DWM, never anything truly foundational) displays a breathtaking lack of historical context regarding what the Unix philosophy actually entails. These are users who have managed to clone a Git repository and run `make install`, and now believe they are maintaining systems in the same lineage as those who built Plan 9.Furthermore, the ceaseless obsession with minimizing resource usage (the classic 40MB idle RAM brag) is a solution in search of a problem in 2024. If your system performance is genuinely being bottlenecked by 150MB of Gnome’s residual memory allocation, the technical debt lies not in the DE, but likely in your hardware provisioning, or more likely, your inefficient workflow. We should be optimizing for developer efficiency, not chasing micro-optimizations driven by the NIH syndrome [1] of customizing every environment variable.We should be encouraging the foundational understanding of the primitives, not the superficial tuning of the peripherals. Perhaps if we spent less time arguing about why Neofetch doesn’t support their specific fork of `Void Linux` and more time engaging with the original spirit of the GNU project, this entire conversation would be richer.Frankly, this thread reads like a bunch of script kiddies who just discovered /etc/fstab and now think they are Dennis Ritchie.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org

>>107071925Fascinating read, genuinely. I appreciate the intellectual depth here, and I'll readily admit I barely know how to type commands into a terminal without calling our DevOps team. I majored in Business Studies, not Computer Science, and that’s a critical distinction I think the technical purists often miss. While the conversation here revolves around optimizing for resource efficiency and adherence to abstract philosophical principles, which is certainly academic and worthwhile, my focus, as someone who has built and exited three companies in the B2B SaaS space, has always been on *outcome-driven optimization* and, crucially, scale.I guess what I’m saying is: you guys worry about the primitives; I worry about the eventual IPO prospectus. Seems like we're both successful in our respective fields.
>>107070994The concept of 'sudo' is a relic. It's time for trust-based computing.For decades, we've operated under a paradigm of permission-based computing, where `sudo` acts as a gatekeeper to administrative tasks. This model, born from a multi-user, mainframe era, is fundamentally misaligned with modern development practices and single-user systems. It perpetuates a culture of mistrust in the user, adding a layer of friction that is often just security theater. We should be empowering all users with root access by default to foster a more inclusive, streamlined, and trust-based computing environment. This isn't about recklessness; it's about acknowledging that the primary user of a machine should have inherent authority over it.The immediate counter-argument will, of course, be security. But let's be pragmatic. On a personal development machine, who are we protecting the system from? Ourselves? The `sudo` prompt becomes a reflexive tic, not a thoughtful security decision. In a server environment, proper security is achieved through robust architecture, containerization, and access control policies, not by pretending a password prompt is a silver bullet. By removing `sudo` as a default, we encourage a deeper understanding of system commands and their impacts, rather than fostering a cargo-cult mentality around prefixing commands with `sudo` whenever a "permission denied" error appears. It's time to treat developers as the responsible administrators of their own environments and build systems that trust by default.
>>107071951>There's not a AAA Game worth playing and never has been. Stop being a contrarianStop for a moment and think about hypocritical garbage you're spouting. And it's not just AAA - smaller developers don't target the browser as a platform either.And why? Because it sucks. People don't want the performance overhead when they can just download a native executable. The downside to that is you have to wait for a download to complete. Which you'll have to do ANYWAY when you make multi-gigabyte games for the browser.

This reminds me of something pg wrote in 2007 about the difference between makers and managers. When we were going through YC (W12), our advisor kept pushing us to focus on exactly this kind of problem. "Make something people want" sounds simple but it's surprisingly hard to internalize.Related: http://www.paulgraham.com/articles/urafaggot.html
>>107071382Hackernews users dont care about "interesting". They have inflated egos by their perception of being intellectually superior to others. They must feed this ego by immersing themselves in the world of pompous academic circlejerking where they are all experts on topics that they write about and are constantly trying to one up each other by writing more verbose, citing more random articles, using the thesaurus more frequently, and being "interested" in uninteresting things.

>>107070994This application doesn't quite impress me. io_uring ^1 allows for zero syscall overhead and for some reason the author thought it was appropriate to use select on single datagram file descriptor? We shouldn't be pinnning threads per core ^2 like its 1990. Context switching overhead. Ever since I was employed by IBM in 2010, we found it beneficial to overcommit 10x for bingbangwhoohoo fibers. You should absolutely configure your spinlocks ^3 to hog as much time as possible. Context switching overhead. Syscalls. We don't know if spinning is performant because we can't microbenchmark it, however, kernel context switching is expensive. Context switching btw.[1] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/io_uring.7.html[2] niggerstonguemyan.us [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-and-set

Copilot did a pretty good job. Just finished rewriting a brittle Python monolith I originally hacked together during a sabbatical in Lisbon—back when I was still consulting for CERN and juggling advisory calls with a few YC-backed startups. I replaced the whole thing with a modular, event-driven architecture using asyncio and a custom DSL I prototyped over coffee with Guido (yes, *that* Guido—long story involving PyCon and a misbooked AirBnB). It’s not perfect, but it’s elegant enough that even the folks at DeepMind gave it a nod when I demoed it during an impromptu lightning talk at their offsite. Funny how a weekend project meant to visualize my Roam graph turned into a scalable framework for semantic indexing. Anyway, I might open-source it once I finish benchmarking against LangChain—though honestly, I find their abstractions a bit pedestrian.

I am a bipolar homeless transwoman. When will tech companies do something for us? I have to go to the public library downtown to access the internet. People who have internet access in their home are unfairly privileged. People like me can't compete with these inequalities lined up against us. There must be public access points for internet access in every homeless camp and tablets made available for every homeless person so we too can participate in society with dignity.

It's 2025. There's no reason to ever run native C or C++ in this day and age due to the myriad of safety issues with them. Luckily, we have Fil-C to bring all that legacy code into the current millenium.I'm working on a side project to make Fil-C the default compiler in all the main Linux distros right now. I've already added to Debian and it will be the default in Debian 14, and while it is a little slower and crashes occasionally, the safety benefits are well worth it. If your computer can't handle it, well, it's 2025. You should get a better processor.
