rossmohax··on The Helios microkernel
how does this guy find time to support his business, sourcehut, and doing cool side projects like Hare and Helios? Does he have life? Does he code extremely fast? Has he automated everything in his life, including lawn mowing, so that he can dedicate 25h a day to coding? What's the secret?
rossmohax··on Tell HN: Bitwarden does not export attachments in backups
Thanks for heads up! I am a happy user for Bitwarden and wasn't aware of that.
rossmohax··on US moves closer to recalling Tesla’s self-driving software
add more inaccurate sensors and do corrections in software? We have photos of black holes out of almost a pure noise, surely it is possible to build self driving car with current gen of hardware.
rossmohax··on Cache made consistent: Meta’s cache invalidation solution
How both of these can be true?

> Data in cache is not durable, which means that sometimes version information that is important for conflict resolution can get evicted.

> We also added a special flag to the query that Polaris sends to the cache server. So, in the reply, Polaris would know whether the target cache server has seen and processed the cache invalidation event.

To make special flag work, cache server need to track not only current version state, but also past versions. If it tracks past versions, then conflicts can be resolved at the cache server level, but whole premise of article is that cache servers can't resolve conflicts by themselves.

Recent data suggests that oil export holds fine and even increasing: https://www.ogj.com/general-interest/economics-markets/artic...

rossmohax··on The Coming Food Catastrophe
> Only couple of the largest cities there have living standards comparable to what average HN poster would consider livable.

If you really mean it, then you clearly never been to Russia and don't know what you are talking about.

They seem to be comparing CI runner starting from scratch to always on VM with firecracker preconfigured.
rossmohax··on Operating Systems: CPU Scheduling
I've been working with Linux systems for almost 20 years and became familiar with many files in /proc kernel provides to inspect its various subsystems.

Russia claims their SVP-24 bomb sight with integrated computer enables high precision (3-4m accuracy) bombing with dumb bombs
rossmohax··on Red Hat is discontinuing sales and services in Russia and Belarus
I wonder if OSS projects start to reject PRs from Russian developers. Since it is a global effort to cancel Russia, I wont be surprised if it actually happens.
rossmohax··on Analysis of the situation in Russia, claimed to be by an active FSB analyst
Highest quality I could find is https://youtu.be/I3JpOy_fOmA?t=512

4k quality even has interlacing artifacts which makes me think it is as close to original broadcast you can get

rossmohax··on Analysis of the situation in Russia, claimed to be by an active FSB analyst
Look at his hand with the pen at 8:38-8:40, his palm, close to wrist, is definitely clipping into foreground
rossmohax··on Russia mistakenly posted post-war article about Ukraine joining Russia
Belarus authoritarian leader has chosen close alliance with Russia, but denying Belarus statehood is just silly.
rossmohax··on Russia mistakenly posted post-war article about Ukraine joining Russia
Title is a bit incorrect. Article clearly says that Ukraine remains a country and NOT becoming part of Russia.
rossmohax··on Information Warfare Is Without Limits and So Are Its Consequences
Individual events can be reported inaccurately, this is understandable.
rossmohax··on Heat people, not spaces (2015)
> every object on earth radiates infared energy as long as it has mass and a temperature above absolute zero. This energy can be absorbed by other objects with a lower temperature.

What happens to infrared energy when it hits objects with higher temperature than radiating object?

rossmohax··on Information Warfare Is Without Limits and So Are Its Consequences
Today I have listened on LBC radio a program with an expert on Ukraine from Cambridge university. Stated goal was to educate listeners on Russia&Ukraine history.

I was unpleasantly surprised by amount of facts mending and innacuracies to draw very polarized picture. All important answers were either factually incorrect (like Putin didn't have problem with Baltic's joining NATO in 2004), very flexibly interpreted or missed very important context cherry picking facts.

It wasn't blatant propaganda, but they didn't even try to show complexity of the topic.

rossmohax··on Russia to restrict Facebook access for 'censoring' its media
TikTok is not western though
rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Thanks for [b]&[c] links, very useful.
rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Smallish country developing nuclear warhead wont threaten survival of the human race. It wont have neither enough warheads nor sufficient delivery capabilities, yet no country is allowed to enter nuclear club, because existing members sees it as threat and have means to enforce their will. Ukraine joining NATO is same in principle: a threat to someone who is willing to act on it.

> Joining NATO--not that the Ukraine was even doing that

Ukraine was actively seeking NATO membership since 2014, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%E2%80%93NATO_relations

rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
> Russia is a state on brink of bancrupcy.

Proofs? AFAIK it is exact opposite: very low debt, stable source of income from resources export, large gold reserves.

rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Putin was overall very open to the West early on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X7Ng75e5gQ
rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Do countries have sovereignty to develop Nuclear weapon? No, because big boys club sees it as a threat and it is understandable. If some power sees actions of another country as a threat, sovereignty becomes more nuanced.
rossmohax··on Understanding the War in Ukraine
Putin did ask to join NATO in early 2000s, was laughed out of the room.
