Re:Zigbook Is Plagiarizing the Zigtools Playground on Sunday November 30, 2025 @12:25AM (#46094064)
since zig is famously decentralized, i don't think there is a way to effectively combat bad actors like these? there is no "official zig org" that can disown them
Re:As 'Dorian Gray' ages, its relevance only grows on Saturday November 22, 2025 @01:16PM (#46016899)
The longest lasting impact of the novel (personally for me) was how it introduced me to the concept of Opium Dens
aside: this reminds me of the opening scene from A gentleman in Moscow - the protagonist is on a trial for allegedly writing a poem inciting people to revolt, and the judge asks if this poem is a call to action. The Count replies calmly;

> all poems are a call to action, your honour

Re:Show HN: Generate coherent, synthetic data at scale on Wednesday November 05, 2025 @06:07AM (#45821617)
Hi, thanks for sharing. There are quite different tools; afaiu, the one you shared does not have any means of cross referencing other data. Also I could see only basic knobs to control the data generation -- ints b/w max/min, weighted distribution from a set of possible options etc.

datagen on the other hand allows you to access the data of any model, any field, any row to create new data; much like a DAG. This is a very powerful abstraction.

Of course, not having to write "code" in json is great too!

Internally at our org, we have an ecosystem of over 200 microservices, implementing various parts of the business logic. To test any changes, we provide developers with on-demand sandboxed environments. One issue we had to solve for that was the creation of synthetic data across services, which respected the business rules and was coherent.Today, we are happy to introduce datagen, a tool we...

Re:Using FreeBSD to make self-hosting fun again on Monday November 03, 2025 @05:04AM (#45797483)
Having never used anything beyond Linux, Windows and Mac, what would be a good starting point? Can I expect gnu/coreutils to work as is (ls, cd, pwd, et al.). Can I expect to not get bitten by arbitrary issues? What if one of the emacs packages that I am accustomed to using doesn't work there due to a dependency on something that is Linux only? How likely/possible is that?
When I was around 15, I used to hang out with a guy who was much senior to me, and he would bully us sometimes. One day, when we were bantering, I cracked a joke that a third guy with us (who was my age) found funny and crackled. The bully grabbed my neck and choked me till I lost consciousness. I remember having memory flashbacks related to missing a train, and someone waiting at the wagon door, waving at me to hurry and jump in before it is too late. I remember feeling stressed about missing the train. The next thing I remember is slowly regaining consciousness to see the bully and the 3rd guy splashing water at my face, looking very amused.

Sunyata comes from Sunya, which in Sanskrit means "zero", another idea invented by the Indians.

Interesting graphics. Inkscape can do wonders when used by a master.

The world is crumbling, humans need to eat less/no meat if we want to survive.
Why don't we ever see Larry Page doing such things? Don't even remember when I last saw news about him.
