zhouzhao··on Humans will never again create a project like Wikipedia
>Its ubiquity serves to damage the scientific forum, and empowers not the educated scientist or the layman, but the small wealthy group dictating the rules of citation for their own empowerment and political footing.

Hi, I am having trouble understanding this. Do you have any additional context or articles describing this take?

Kind regards and thank you for your time.

zhouzhao··on Humans will never again create a project like Wikipedia
many "fandom" wikis have alternatives. If you can spare the time, scroll a little bit further down in your search results. They exist! And for the ones that do not have a "fandom" wiki, there are alternative readers.

Fandom is truly cancerous. I have not checked whether they are affiliated with Wikimedia, but I would not be surprised if that was the case!

zhouzhao··on Humans will never again create a project quite like Wikipedia
Wikimedia is the shady organization with the pop-up banners begging for money, yes.

Wikipedia itself is what it is, a library of collective effort.

As much as I despise wikimedia, the worth of wikipedia for humanity is so much more compared to the negative aspects of wikimedia.

zhouzhao··on Hello, how you guys doing
Pretty good considering all the world problems raining down on us.

I still have a job and can afford the higher fuel prices and inflation costs, not happy about it, but as long as I have a roof and some kind of job to keep me alive, I am considering myself well-situated.

What about you?

zhouzhao··on Google illegally retains customer data,Please do not flag this post
I would flag this just because you asked 4 times to not flag it.

What about just posting it and letting it be? If it will stand the test of time, you will get your maybe well deserved attention.

Begging not to be flagged is weird and I maybe would have read your article If you didn't.

Who takes their time to listen to all his bullshit and then write an article about him? I don't believe in any religion, but Jesus be with you bro

zhouzhao··on If Terraform is so great, why isn't anyone using it anymore?
Feels like a shill article for Pulumni.

I am not bashing Pulumni, or glorifying Terraform, but the examples shown in the article are simple, and do not proof any of the mentioned advantages.

Did we expect that they would spawn in the middle of Los Angeles or NYC?

Where else should they go.

zhouzhao··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
Agreed. His suffering comes from his inabillity to see the bad in closed source software. I lost my respect for him when he sold Hashicorp.
zhouzhao··on A Website, Hosted on an ESP32
Hug of death incoming? Nice project. I noticed that it takes like one second to load. Might be cloudflare? Or the weak CPU? However, nice proof of concept.
zhouzhao··on Ask HN: RedHat for Personal Use
Not really.

CV/ML takes a lot of resources, so If you wanted to have an advantage by choosing a certain linux distro, I'd suggest one that sets up a super minimal system.

In reality, choose any distro. Want suggestions? Then perhaps linux mint If you are new to linux.

zhouzhao··on Terraform is dead
>policies are scattered across IAM, config, and application layers

Where is the problem with that? We handle IAM with HCL/Terraform on GCP. Application config should imo. be out of scope of Terraform. You can handle that in config files, managed via ansible or kustomize, whatever.

Overall I think this article is not to be taken seriously. Terraform is not perfect, but depending on the provider used, it does its supposed job. Configure my cloud infrastructure, GCP/AWS/Azue, even proxmox has a provider.

I think the author just wants one tool that does all things, an AI that builds everything for you.

Lua can also be a cool scripting language to configure/write stuff for your editor (looking at you neovim)
zhouzhao··on Ask HN: Are you concerned by TLS-terminating proxies like Cloudflare Tunnels?
For European web services it should be a no-go.

I understand the easiness of that approach, but companies should realize that relying on a giant American company for stuff like that, is going to bite them in the ass, eventually.

If that is not one good argument to start producing cocaine locally, then I don't know!
