Came here to report this too.

Otherwise, this is very clever.

> We're consulting with a couple of legal experts regarding the name, and it seems that even OpenTF won't be the final name due to use of "TF" in it.

Interesting that having "TF" in the name could cause issues.

WASM is used to package add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, which I've always found an interesting example of WASM in a non-web context.

The main file is a C file which is nearly 5,000 lines long. Impressive.

I've worked on a project where MongoDB GridFS was used quite successfully as the backing store for a CMS system. If I recall correctly, GridFS gives you versioning out of the box, which the CMS leveraged to let users roll back files/images/videos to older versions.

That was a production system and used to get hammered with requests. It didn't even have a CDN in front of it for the first few years.

And that was MongoDB 2.4 so I'm assuming GridFS has matured even more since then.

Android development is torturous for this. I've been getting emails from Google recently advising me that I need to update my minSdkVersion or my app will no longer be on the Play Store.

So I opened up Android Studio yesterday to upgrade things and hopefully release a quick beta to shake things down. It's now the next day and I'm still weeding through compile-time and runtime errors caused through the upgrade.

I feel like every time I update Android libraries my code bloats out with extra conditionals and permissions checks, and generally makes my code more brittle.

Maybe this is just the nature of building a secure platform which has such a broad reach. I can't claim to know, but it sure sours the developer experience.

As a simple, non-commercial public transport app that I wrote mostly for fun and learning, it's hard to be movitated to fix it.

Terraform has evolved from exciting hype to stable utility, in my opinion.

The one I always notice is a sound effect of a cat screeching, usually accompanied with the sound of crashing metal trash cans.

I can't seem to find a clip of it anywhere though. Maybe someone else will have better luck?

It's a play on "Route 66":

One incident lowers your opinion of a busy international airport?

> fragile and overcomplicated

Couldn't that description be applied to the existing Linux packaging ecosystem? It seems that "fragile and complicated" dependency graphs are exactly what Snap/Flatpak/AppImage are trying to fix.

My understanding is that IoT devices are a big reason for Snap's existence.

The Boeing 787 is apparently using INTEGRITY-178, a realtime OS from Green Hills Software:

I wish more programs had an obvious way of showing what configuration values are currently set. Something like `program --config` with no arguments should print all configuration keys and their current values.

What happened to Salt? I felt like it was everywhere in 2015, but I almost never hear of it anymore. Even their official documentation site has an ad promoting "SaltConf 2021", a conference from nearly two years ago.

I wonder if this is the first time Supermac's has been mentioned on Hacker News!

I have to say, I'm fond of a Snack Box or a chicken breast sandwich on occasion. Something fierce nostalgic about it.

Those are probably subs that are in read-only mode. Private subs are completely inaccessible.

That would be a g̶i̶b̶i̶ kibizip.

I got excited by your username and thought I had found a bug in Hacker News.

MVG on YouTube did a great video on this exact problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH03ht2fVqI&pp=ygUKbXZnIHN3a...

This project is being led by Tim Berners-Lee, for those who weren't aware.

I'd say yes and no. It's on the pricier side compared to a lot of butters, but people here seem to buy an awful lot of "almost butter" products like Dairygold and Kerrymaid, which add some oil.

I always pronounce this project as "soccer copy".

Intel Galileo [1] too.

Correct - that was what I meant. I remember the init system debates all too well.

Canonical only settled on systemd when Debian decided to adopt it, though.

I've found that Snip & Sketch occasionally just doesn't save my screenshots. I'll click Save, it'll open the file dialog, I'll choose the directory and click Save. But, every now and again, nothing. The file just doesn't save.

Interestingly, ChatGPT has no idea if it's running GPT-3 or GPT-4, since it has no concept of GPT-4 existing in September 2021 (its knowledge cutoff).

Me: Are you running on GPT-3 or GPT-4?

ChatGPT: As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the most advanced version of GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) publicly available was GPT-3, which is the version I am based on. At the time, GPT-3 was the largest and most powerful language model created by OpenAI, with 175 billion parameters.

I am not aware of any public announcement or release of GPT-4 by OpenAI since then, but it is possible that they may have continued to work on new versions of the model in the meantime. However, I have not received any updates on my own capabilities beyond my knowledge cutoff date, so I cannot currently provide information beyond that point.

SOPS has been excellent for us in Terraform/Terragrunt infrastructure-as-code scenarios. Glad to see it on HN.
