I am debating on moving over full-time to Linux and picking up a laptop from https://puri.sm/
the hardware and open drivers are the most annoying thing when finding a laptop for Linux it seems. Almost everyone uses terrible wireless hardware or does not fully support the highest resolution or something strange. I am hoping https://puri.sm/ has that all figured out.
Yes, some of the most profound experiences I've ever had. It's been about a year since I've done a full dose though. I've been microdosing lately.
Lots of websites are bloated with megabytes of poorly optimized Javascript such as advertising network tracking and commenting systems. Animated images tend to drink CPU time as well.

iPhones still have significantly faster CPUs, especially single threaded.

The end result is that even though web browsing is typically categorized as a basic computing activity (compared with media production, 3D gaming, or simulations) it actually requires regular CPU upgrades to keep up with more complex/bloated websites. There are obviously other factors like whether or not the system is memory pressured, SSD or not, use of GPU acceleration, and if the Internet connection is adequate.
Those pesky paywalls.
job interviews are not just for companies to pass judgement on you, they’re your chance to judge them. Take full advantage of this when interviewing.

You should quit your current job and find a better one, as we’ve seen in this thread, many people are happy. Maybe it’s a technically challenging job, or maybe it’s a boring company but filled with meaningful work or inspiring coworkers. The job interview is your chance to find out.

In your next interview, mention that you wrote this post. If the interviewer responds “oh yeah, I read that and felt the same and decided to quit this job”, then great! youve learned that you shouldnt even bother finishing this interview.
If on the other hand they say “oh, I read that and this place makes me happy” then it’s a good sign.

Take your interviewers off script and feel free to be straight and honest about what you’re looking for and what it’s like there. Nowhere will be perfect, but this is a great way to learn if this job will be a good fit, or another soul-sucking chapter of your life.

A word of caution: managers will bend the truth and tell you what you want to hear. Devs on the other hand will often be incredibly frank if you ask then a direct question.

(I had an interviewer at Google and I asked something like “you sound kinda down, are you ok?” and they told me about how they’re really depressed and their project is terrible and they don’t like their job)

When I interview, candidates will ask me questions like “wow, that problem-space sounds really interesting. Are you planning on adding machine learning etc?”. Recruiters will take this question and run with it, spinning an image of all the cool stuff you’ll get to work on at some future time. I just respond “honestly, no. It’s basically a CRUD app, the tech is nothing special but the area the business is in is very interesting and exciting and you might make a lot of money. If that’s not what you’re looking for, you probably shouldn’t work here since I can’t promise you’ll work on somethjng cool like ML and I’m not going to dangle that in front of you for the next three years before you bitterly quit”
But Tesla's defense is not that the data is in a proprietary format that can't be decoded. And even if it were, are you suggesting Tesla logs and stores data solely in a non-industry format for which there is not an ETL function that turns it into something less opaque?

And what do you base this speculation that Tesla does something so strange? Because Tesla has a machine-learning heavy reputation? Google does far more machine-learning and yet allows us to export data, such as geolocation, in portable JSON format:

FB, via the WhatsApp app, have access to your unencrypted messages before the app encrypts them and sends them on. So, there's reason to worry now that FB is in full control. I have no doubt they'll extract data from your conversations and inject targeted ads.

Edit: Am I wrong? Do they not have access to the plain text?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Fail...

Rather than Ctrl+Alt+F1 (which switches to a TTY), you can open a Terminal instead and run 'sudo -i' to get a root shell.

Replace 'sda1' with your root disk (you may have LVM enabled, and definitely if you have full disk encryption). If you don't have disk encryption, run 'pvscan' and see if it reports anything.

To get the update to finish, you can run 'dpkg --configure --all'.
(I'm the tech lead / architect of Cloudflare Workers.)

CF Workers is based on the Service Workers API, which is a W3C standard that has existed in browsers for some time. The only real vendor-specific additions we've made are flags to turn on/off other Cloudflare features; most people don't actually use those flags. So, even today, a worker you write for Cloudflare can potentially be moved to run in the browser with minimal code changes. (Of course, not all scripts are safe to run in the browser, e.g. access control checks.)

Unfortunately, many competing edge compute and "serverless" products have chosen to invent their own, proprietary APIs, rather than use a standard. My sincere hope is that this will change, and in the future, we'll see a convergence on Service Workers. It fits this use case very well, and it's already a standard.

More generally, I think the future is in code that can seamlessly move around, between your servers, client browsers, "the edge", even other people's servers, running wherever it's most useful, perhaps without the developer even needing to think about it. There's far less value in a closed platform with immobile code. And in any case, we aim to win by building a better (larger, faster, less-expensive) network, not by trapping people.
Your headphone crackle and screen flicker issues both sound like hardware problems. I've never experienced anything like that on any Linux machine I've ever used. I did have an old HP laptop (running Windows) where the screen hinge had damaged the video cable, and I'd get flicker unless it was opened just right.

>To ding me for using the term announced is to find issue in semantics.

Not pure semantics. It is important to focus on what you're actually talking about when you say "the beginning." Facebook has evolved over time, both in its service as well as its business model. So when you talk about "the beginning" it's important to know the beginning of what?

>DIGG was never at the same scale or range - and from what I know it never depended on your real life profile as I recall.

Nothing was ever at the same scale or range as Facebook. If they were, they'd have been as much of a threat as Facebook is now. That's kind of the point. A lot of the LiveJournal, Xanga, MySpace, etc. stuff from back then was all groping towards a functioning business model and it was Facebook's news feed that actually created one.

But even in the early stages the News Feed wasn't really about extracting data, just about creating a UI paradigm that made it easy to shove native advertising in your face. What really made the big data analytics game take off was when SEO and viral marketing started getting big, which wasn't really on Facebook's radar in the early days.

Advertising is different from Ad Tech. Ad Tech is about more than just Facebook's collection. People couldn't really have predicted the extent to which the media industry (new and old) was going to go whole hog into Facebook's platform. It has been their complicity that elevates Facebook's data collection from being "Wow The Facebook is nosy and annoying" to "Wow Facebook is a threat to the public sphere."
I guess I’m saying the problem with testing or linting a notebook is not technical.

Writing a tool that suppresses output cells, infers global parameter blocks, etc., is trivial. Writing a linter with enough configurability to account for notebook presentation styling might be harder, but still straightforward.

Creating the raw tools that can do it is the easy part.

The hard part is that writing code for re-use and testability and with reasonable low-effort best practices at separating concerns and having modularity — all that is antithetical to the whole purpose of the notebook.

So why bother contorting the testing apparatus to accomodate testing something that is created with throw-away design principles from the start?

As soon as you start using the design principles from the beginning of the first prototype or first data exploration plot, then the value of putting them in notebook format goes away, and you’re better off using testing tools that were meant for testing proper modules, than to shoe-horn notebooks into testing with notebook-specific testing tools.

I’d also argue that the benefits of starting out from a craftsmanship-first approach from the beginning, even in exploratory data analysis, has compounding benefits and you quickly reach a state where the extra craftsmanship leads to less time spent debugging, backtracking to understand a plotting error or diagnostic bug, and faster convergence on successful output artifacts, whether it’s a report on model accuracy or production-ready code.
You sound like you have some experience in this area so I'll ask. I'm working with fielded devices that typically sit on enterprise networks. We operate much like an IoT device, but without the hardware constraints. The current c2 system uses a traditional polling REST HTTP protocol and we're looking to migrate something more real-time (for config pushes) and lighter on the server. Currently looking at everything from HTTP/2 SSE, Websockets, MQTT over WS, or even HTTP using something like Google's Cloud IoT. As you can probably tell we'd like to keep the wire protocol enterprise-network friendly. Any advice?
It depends, but smaller jets I’ve seen invoices for 12-20k several times.
I first encounters McKenna’s work when was 17, hiking though the woods on LSD in Erie, PA.

A young hippy materialized out from behind a tree and told me he had spent time on McKennas farm in Hawaii. He recommended I read True Hallucinations & The Archaic Revival.

A day later I walked out of my local coffee shop and saw the same kid sitting on the street, which reminded me to get the book.

Some twenty years later, I was just interviewed on a podcast after Dennis McKenna about my experiences with psychedelics.

Twitter/Medium because I'm a normal person looking for the easiest solution that I know of. I'm not picky and I don't care about principles or owning my content. I just want to write and then get a link that I can share with people.

I know this perspective isn't well represented on HN so I figured it'd be helpful to share.

If I had a more acute reason for starting a blog like personal branding, or some sort of strategic media objective, I may look more into the implications of publishing on 3rd party sites, but for the casual use-cases that I anticipate for myself, that angle doesn't matter for me.
A few months ago my valet backed my brand new X into a wall in the garage. I asked Tesla for the data to help use this for insurance. At no point was Tesla possibly at fault, but they still told me that in order to get the data I would need a subpoena.

I bought it used in 1/17, so under 2 years old. Base model with QC port. No tax credits available as it was used. Though between the $7,500 federal and $10k KCP&L (I live in KS) rebate, I could have bought a new 2017 for under $15k.

The asshat Nissan dealers wouldn’t budge on list price, so screw buying new. There is a guy locally who only sells used Leafs, as a bunch came off leases, and he flips them from auctions.

There are lots of Leafs and Model S around Kansas City. I’m sure we have the best charging network in the country.
The ultimate goal of software companies is to control as much "platform space" as possible. This is mainly due to the way we treat virtual properties legally, and it only becomes truer as e.g. APIs are ruled copyrightable.

It's not implausible to believe that a big tech co would be interested in acquiring a platform defensively and/or for control over the platform ecosystem.

Huh i guess i made a bad assumption. Though i'm not surprised they make peripherals and work with the fabs, i just assumed it stayed away from it as much as it could.

The OP probably actually doesn't want total control, they just think they do for whichever reason.

As for the price, $29/mo + 2.9% for Shopify Basic isn't bad. It's basically covered (one should hope) by a couple sales per month, especially for bespoke stitching products.

Detecting launch prep might be useful but it's ultimately just too easy to conceal a launch site to be the complete solution. It doesn't really help with a sneak attack from a major power and US missile defense isn't even good enough yet to reliably stop a NK attack.

What the world really needs is to ensure mutually assured destruction is remains in effect. The world cannot afford to let the Russian or Chinese dictators believe they can pull off a first strike and take over the world.

The problem right now is that the US is still trying to uphold MAD by itself and it's failing. The US nuclear triad is way out of date and potentially vulnerable to a first strike. We need to decentralize the system among other wealthy and trustworthy countries.

All countries in the G7 should have enough nuclear weapons pointed at Russia and China to ensure MAD. And they should develop these weapons independently of the US for increased reliability and redundancy.
ECC RAM is stuck at 2666 MT/s and rarely overclocks to 1.35V.

Normal RAM can handle 1.35V typically and often goes up to 3200 MT/s (on AMD systems) or 3600 MT/s (on Intel systems). That's easily +20% to +35% more memory bandwidth. With lower latency and better overall specs to boot.

And if your 3d render has a pixel-error on frame 50, delete the .png file and rerender frame 50. No biggie.
The problem is what they've learned is mostly to do with what icons (which they have no context for, never having used a computer or smartphone prior to this) they press to get certain results. And we teach them this over an audio call, so trying to learn a new one would definitely be a challenge.

But overall I would swap back to different apps were WhatsApp to be 'compromised' or misused. Discord text chat for my gaming group, Signal for some tech chats, etc.

Overall it's a shame, since I was very appreciative of the approach the Whats-App founders took. But if we're lucky, WhatsApp will remain mostly the same for a while.
My understanding is a lot of users use LaunchPad (possibly all those who don't have an Applications folder dragged to their dock and do not know they can just type the name of their app to run it via spotlight)
We are surely living in the dumbest timeline.
It's a matter of utility, not low value. One hour of rental jet costs like 33 $100 airline tickets: even considering saved time, many people need to go to the same place at the same time, and it has to be a rather distant place (Utah <-> either coast?), to make a rental convenient.
They mention it in the article:

> None of the proposals were as lucrative as Facebook’s ad-based model. “Well, that doesn’t scale,” Ms. Sandberg told the WhatsApp executives of their proposals, according to a person familiar with the matter.

I think it's partly a self-selection problem, where the companies which use the service don't have enough revenue to contact their customers through dedicated channels. If you try to monetize this, then most companies just leave because those who could pay already have such channels to customers.

It's the same problem with offering users to pay for an ad and tracking free facebook. Those users who would pay for facebook are exactly the ones you want to show ads to, whereas the others are uninteresting revenue wise either way.
We have both, however some teams predate Gitlab option and corporate inertia, politics and a lack of time keep those teams from switching. In a huge company changing anything can be a major pain in the ass.
Hi @hartator, yes we don't plan to add 100 triggers, however, we do plan weather, Google Analytics (for Goals, inventory and all that) time/date and few CRMs. I think these are important to build a solid product, in any case, we will release one at the time.

Regarding make or break I understand.
We are working on a tool where you can set up triggers and it analyzed your past data to tell you if your market depends on that trigger. E.g. you set weather is sunny, we check in the past 60 days your conversions for sunny days and not sunny days and tell you if there was a difference or not. If there was, we can save you money (or make you more money) if there wasn't we will tell you directly that you won't need this for your market.

I’ve always said that if you’re the kind of person that finds the idea of trying psychedelics appealing, you’re probably the kind of person who should be trying psychedelics.

But I also think that you might be introducing instability in your life so if other people are depending on you, you may want to think really hard about the risk that you’ll come out of it wanting to make major changes in how you’re living.

I spent a lot of my 20s doing various psychedelics and don’t regret it at all, but at 40 with a wife and child and well paying job, I can’t even imagine it. It’s not that I’m worried about it doing damage to me or anything, it’s just that I’m happy with my life as it is right now and I don’t feel like engaging in a huge amount of introspection or rebuilding my personality from the ground up right now sounds like something I want to be doing.
Thanks a lot. Thank you for clarifying my doubts :)

Agreed. If I were in the market for a car, particularly an electric vehicle what Tesla does with crash data would probably be a very low priority, based on a presumption that I don't expect to get into a crash, nor the kind that would cause a situation in which I needed the data (since that possibility had never been available before in my past years of driving).
A lot of offices have a culture where headphones-on means "do not disturb" or "slack to see if it's ok before disturbing".

> The 30% of all sales is probably significant though
I realized they just announced something on this yesterday, which I found transcribed[1]:

"We're happy to announce that this week, we're going to achieve another huge milestone. The money that developers have earned through the App Store will top $100 billion."

So if that's the developer's %70 to Apple's 30%, then Apple's share is $43 billion. That's a lot, but over just about 10 years. I don't know how much was, e.g., in the last year, but Apple's revenue is over $200 billion/year, I think, so in terms of percent, it's in the low single-digits.

> I don’t necessarily agree that PWA developers have no way of monetising their apps though.

I didn't say they have no way of monetizing, just nothing with the reach comparable to the Apple app store. Outside the app store, a PWA developer can charge, e.g., subscriptions. But (1) it's not free (they'll have to create or buy a mechanism for doing so... there are transaction fees too, but much less than 30%); and (2) would entirely lack the discoverability of Apple's app store. Sure, it's perhaps possible that a completing PWA app marketplace could be created and marketed, but it doesn't exist now, and it would take a lot of time and a lot of money.

I didn't think Apple generally took a piece of ad revenue from iOS apps. Wasn't it just their own iAd network that took a piece? (Also, I thought that was killed off).

Is this a mirror, or some kind of summary. If this is a mirror, wow the article is very poorly edited. Seems like this isn't something so breaking they couldn't spend an extra couple of hours on it.

It's a bit stilted as well, which doesn't seem like it would be fixed in editing. I didn't realize WSJ articles were of such low quality. I guess because I have never gotten through the paywall. ;)
