i have a hole in my pool... thousands of gallons per day are draining into the neighbors yard

oh, so are you having someone come out to patch the hole and fix it?

no, the hole is still there. we are spending 3k per month to get a water delivery truck to refill the pool.

of course they are going to try and monetize this. that's trump's america.

this is what grinds my gears with gleam. afaik its not really possible to interact with elixir libraries? A project exists to try to make this 'easier' but the fact that it was not baked-in as first class is a huge smell to me https://github.com/gleam-lang/mix_gleam/

Perfect example: Clojure. Clojure is the textbook esoteric programmers dream... but it's SUPER easy to sell and integrate in a typical Java shop. Why? Clojure is Java. You can use everything on Maven. You can interop with any Java tooling. No hacks or BS required... it's a native compatibility. The fact that the Gleam did not opt for this level of congruence is mind boggling to me.

I could be wrong btw so please correct me if I am. I am genuinely interested in using Gleam in place of Elixir (I think they nailed syntax and got rid of a lot of bullshit) but it is unfortunately not a drop-in replacement. It should be.

this is the way. samsung dex is pretty awesome to turn them into pseudo desktop computers.

clojure is the best lisp by far

nothing I said was wrong

Debian releases lag behind quite considerably. Debian 13 for instance comes out of the box with Python 3.13, whereas Ubuntu 26.04 LTS comes with Python 3.14.

I should note I am a Debian diehard been using it 20 years my main workstation is still on deb12 lol. But recently I have been pivoting away from Debian and towards Fedora. Running Fedora 44 on my Framework 13 Pro and my Chuwi N150 netbook and it has been very stable and pleasant. Relatively cutting edge, too. I am on KDE 6.8 for instance.

Next they will be migrating off Internet Explorer 6

Lots of ways to use S3 as a filesystem. FUSE is one. AWS even offers it as a service now.

I don't think I have ever read anything from salon

Not a cryptography book but highly recommended for the young curious mind: The Cuckoo's Egg

There are services you can pay for such that you can route internet traffic thru a specific IP in a specific part of the world. People (usually unwillingly and unknowingly) run software that effectively makes them part of a giant botnet. A computer running in Romania might have some kind of weather application or gambling/casino app that I could use to make an HTTP request as if I were on their network. So if you need access to 1,000 or 10,000 IP's to circumvent rate limits or perform crawling tasks, this is how you could do it.

Here is the actual PDF: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/CSWP/NIST.CSWP.50.pdf

I've been in 6 or 7 between Spain and Indonesia (Uber/Grab). All of them had RGB mood lighting, enormous center displays, large digital gauge clusters, full pano sunroofs, good materials, good sound isolation from outside, and great AC. It's not a surprise the big three in the US are lobbying so hard to keep them out of the US... they'd be obliterated.

I feel like they are literally Tesla replicas. I thought fit and finish inside the few I’ve been in over the last 2 years or so was pretty good.

14.04 LTS trusty is not vulnerable fyi.

Somewhat related - I am working on a dual Pentium III retro build (first retro build) and completely forgot that this would be 32-bit and won't have niceties like SSE2. Having some fun going down the rabbit hole of IDE, SCSI interfaces and AGP graphics. Can anyone recommend some OS installations to play with? So far I am thinking Haiku, ReactOS, NetBSD and antiX or MX Linux. At some point I am also going to simulate a Novell Netware deployment.

I’d love one of these as a framework module

I get like 1 email per week (via hn) from someone rolling out a new 'agentic sandbox' environment like this.

If the model is running on your hardware why would it matter if it’s Chinese

You can build your own kernel on any distribution fwiw

Is there an alternative service people like?

when i'm in a supine position like in bed with my knees up... i will unfold my framework pro to 180º and use my thumb to scroll docs etc. only downside is smudge marks on the screen which rly irritate me.

Same. It is the only cross platform terminal emulator that truly provides an identical experience for me between Mac and Linux. Was really easy for me to get it to behave more or less just like iterm2 (cmd+1..9 for tabs) with Toshi on Linux. So my muscle memory works across macos and kde.

I find Konsole's rendering to be pretty bad. Wezterm is really good.

yeah. it'll boot. want wifi? you need a virtual machine running linux to contain the driver lol

Good idea. I was thinking store it under vacuum but nitrogen might be easier.

This reminds me of the Dymaxion house at the Henry Ford Museum:
