That is not just "an asshole". That is criminal.
Same, home assistant really just acts as a consistent-ish api to all my home devices.

That said I only use smart devices I control over my LAN and none that require I interact with a companies provided API.
Doesn't stop you leaving laundry, tools, bike parts, raw meat, or whatever else you think might put prospective tennants off all over the apartment.
Right, but now he's telling his mates about how his absolute arsehole of a tenant spread marmite on his letterbox for no reason whatsoever. He still has a story, except this one just makes tenants look evil.
The main limiting factor for embedded is cost. If you start from the position that you want to run something that was written in Java then there will be a selection of ways to do that. Most Java applications will require external RAM to the CPU, the lowest cost DRAM chips will be whatever is used at that time in high-volume consumer electronics, when ARM chips with Jazelle were introduced the DRAM capacity that represented this optimal price had increased by a lot from when those ARM chips were designed, increased to the point that the increased memory requirements of a JIT were no longer a problem.
But those high level tasks could also be exposed directly. There's nothing to stop there being more commands which more directly accomplish the desired tasks.

The idea that git is good because it is difficult to use is just "git snobbery", as is the idea that it must be difficult because it's a DVCS.

There's nothing to stop git having two levels of the API, one exposed for tools to build off of with the full complexity and another for every day use.
It didn't really work for me, tried it twice and quit both times. I really dislike that I had to be a one man show besides what I enjoy doing:

- sales

- networking

- sales

- accounting

- become your own project manager

- handle client requests, emails, phone calls,

- changes, followups, meetings

- writing contracts

- sales

- play well with client's partners

- marketing your previous work

- did I mention sales?

Kudos to anyone who can manage all these.
I got my team onboard by creating my own containers for our apps to use. As others saw my increased development productivity using those personal containers they got interested and I taught them.

The advantage is that I’d quietly figured out the pain and process so it was smooth sailing for them when they started using it.

After that, it was not difficult to start talking about using containers for CI and production.
Thank you! It looks like a good start but certainly lacks some of the features and I'd of course expect a more user friendly version will eventually be introduced as it matures. Nice to see people are working on it!
> ... establishes a faster and stronger telecommunications link not only to Europe, but to the next billion internet users that will come from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

I hate corporate PR so much for things like this. What's the point of talking about Asia? Data to/from Asia goes mostly trough the Pacific Ocean, not through Spain.

Just GA. Now that you mention it though, given all the pop-up blocking, my numbers are likely underestimated. I'll cross-reference with server logs next time.

re 6 vs. 150 subscribers. The trick to getting people to sign up is... (you are not going to like this)... a pop-up.

People on forums will complain about it.

People will sign up with fake and insulting email addresses to spite you. You may even get upset.

But my god will you gather emails from the people out there who actually care about the work you are doing.
Best Sales Books/Resources?
I’m embarking on a new challenge, transitioning to an enterprise sales role after spending the beginning of my career as a software developer then product manager.

I’m really excited about the new chapter. And I realize no book or resource can substitute for experience, but if there are any standout materials that can aid in hitting the ground running, please share!

Thanks :)

>differing interpretations of property rights
The American interpretation is authoritarian. Just because it has a negative connotation doesn't make it untrue. The landlords are renting out a dwelling for someone, and because they are the authority of that land they get to enforce rules on who has access to it. That is authoritarian
I totally agree, and it's hilarious how many engineers fall for this Smart home BS.

We are all supposed to be keeping K.I.S.S. in mind because we're engineers.

Smart home crap is the complete opposite of K.I.S.S.

Smart home setups are the guy on your group who wants to write a java program dependent on spring to solve a problem that a shell one liner can solve. Smart Homes are prepping the space shuttle to go down the block to the drug store.

Every single news outlet in Canada complains about the CBC copy pasting their content, if you work at any media it's a running joke that the CBC is going to pirate whatever you do and have it up for free on cbc.ca within minutes of publishing. There's dozens of articles about this just search for copy paste journalism or email any reporter in Canada and ask them.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/tristin-hopper-really-want-...

https://www.canadalandshow.com/cbc-often-reports-competitors...

>If a reporter scores an important scoop or completes a lengthy investigation, within hours that story will be quickly rewritten and posted to CBC.ca for free, and often without attribution (watch for the phrase “CBC has learned” to spot these types of rewrites).

Of course this is common practice to rewrite articles, but you're supposed to give credit, and it's especially shady when you have a taxpayer funded budget to feed off private industry with an army of interns to snatch content and post it for free. CBC is supposed to cover stories the national media won't bother with, but instead for a couple of years now they've just been "repurposing content".

Edit: AP is also doing a trial with blockchain tagging to try and end copy paste journalism
> what the hell are these brands?

This is what 1-man-brands are. I myself used to run a sunglasses brand in my student years :)

Most are just dropshippers, or people working out of home.

Recipe was simple: order cheapest 1 dollar sunglasses on Alibaba, have them put into fancy packaging and silkscreened with something Italian sounding. Then you make up a generic website with stock photos for your "brand"

I was surprised with the amount of people keen to buy $100 to $200 sunglasses with nothing more than an Italian sounding brand name.
Have you tried?

In my six years I’ve never had to switch to hourly billing. The most pushback I encounter to this idea is from other consultants, often before they even try it.
I'm only 1 year in but I find most of my contacts on UpWork (I'm lucky being in the niche field and not having too much competition there).

I'm currently trying out to see if a newsletter can work and I managed to get one project through it so far.
While it's certainly a shame that freelancers struggle with being underpaid - I'm more concerned with how this impoverishes the culture.

If these jobs pay so poorly, it follows that many potential journalists will do something else instead. The best potential journalists will likely have the best chance of finding more lucrative careers. What this means is that we will be left with hobbyists or less capable people doing journalism.

Ideally, journalism would serve a coordination function for the culture - spreading important facts and starting important discussions. If this task is being done by the less capable, or by those who are distracted by poverty, that seems problematic - like finding out your brain isn't getting enough nutrients and so will be operating at a deficit.

For the author in particular, my first thoughts were that, if he could bring in two hundred thousand dollars worth of traffic consistently for the publications he writes for, then he should be able to bring in a sizable portion of that to his own website surely, and keep a higher percentage for himself. On the other hand, if this were a random article on someone's blog, would I have read it? Well, yes, probably so if it were on the front page of hackernews - but would it have got there? Hard to say.

Confusing but grim news. Tough way to start the morning...
personally I find gnome's filesselector unusable, whereas kde's is great.
The 'push -f' suggestion could instead recommend 'push --force-with-lease' to be less error prone in case one is accidentally pushing to a concurrently modified branch.

Also, unless the diagram is confusing with the alignment, the "rebase to rebase" example seems to be implicitly assuming --onto, because the last common ancestor of 'master' and 'feature-2' includes 2 commits on that branch: the first of 'feature-1' and then the one that is only on 'feature-2'.
Well, the Notre Dame was renovated a few times but I do get your point. I do want to say that the main structure of the building is bricks :)

It's surely cheaper and easier to use wood. my understanding was indeed that the wood was more exposed "to the elements".

Of my concerns, the only one that remains and seems to be validated by other people is the insulation. So it'd be wasteful for energy. Perhaps you'll spend more heating up the place than you save by not using bricks.

Either way, thank you for clarifying some things :)
I think the take aways still stand. Our US team doesn't have a central office, we're spread out across the US timezones but there is still a large overlap when we are working so its easier to synchronize when we need to.

It's the lack of overlapping schedules, not office space that is the sticking point.

In other words it is at a historic low. Also debt service comes in the form of maturing bonds. It is literally created from nothing and requires no tax revenue.
Not to the level of what goes on in the article, but I personally work with someone that left BC, went to China and returned with the entirety of his Chinese retirement in cash. He got back and immediately bought a new car and other things.
In regards to #1 I'd suggest OP look into European companies. The different is a lot less, and if they don't mind working later in the day, you can easily get 6 hours overlap.
Advertisements already can be and are preloaded. This just enables navigating to another page without going back to the server.
You can definitely settle via international credit cards (~5% fee = ~3% card settlement fee + ~2% currency exchange hit). Regarding language, online translation tools are adequate. Regarding shipping, I believe there are reshipment providers that you can batch purchases with, which means you can use all vendors (not just the ones who agree to ship internationally).
It's a common carve out in most states to allow immediate access for "emergency access", which is why everyone in the thread is discussing exactly that.
I think of my costs as more "daily" than "hourly", to be honest.

Whether I have to work 5 hours or 8 hours on your project, either way my day is largely shot.
It's not an interface problem at all. "git rebase", with no arguments, does almost exactly what a typical user wants almost all the time. Probably 80% of the remaining cases are handled by "git rebase $BRANCH".

But once outside that world, the user if faced with the problem that "rebase" is just a special case of "merge" and shared all the complexities and edge cases. And that's hard for fundamental reasons. Git has tools for this too, but their interface shares the complexity of the problem domain.
Ok, thank you. I did not realize this version was PD.
What kind of consultancy do you want? I'd think long and hard about that.

A one person consultancy where you have one main client at a time is vastly different than a 4 person consultancy where you are doing mostly project management and sales is vastly different than a 15 person consultancy where you are doing hiring and people management.

Pick where you want to go before you start. (You can change goals as you go, of course.)
In my unpopular opinion, the first steps that we need to bring AV1 to the web is to stop using HLS and start using DASH
This is the same argument that suggests Squarespace is better than HTML & CSS. Maybe true for some people - but not the typical HN audience, I imagine. You use git all day, every day. It's worth it to learn it inside and out, and the design assumes users who are willing to make that investment. If you assume everyone learns the primitives, then the rest of git's design makes sense as an organic evolution of that.

And for anyone who doesn't know the primitives, I posted a brief summary on Mastodon the other day:

If it is at all a decent system most boards that control the door locks have battery backups for this situation.

Our keyfob/door lock system at our small office works in this way where if you were to lose power the boards still operate on their own independent system via battery power up to 48 hours with no power.

Even on a server controlled system the server client only issues updates to names/keyfobs on the control boards and even if the server computer were to go down any current information still works as intended with no power and the boards operating on battery (which most last 48 hours and the batteries are cheap to replace so unless it is an extended outage you are fine)

FWIW, I wouldn't really question Amazon's judgement here just because of a comment on HN. Amazon has vastly more information about how their business was performing than anybody outside of the company. And they have management that has a track record of being able to run a business very competently. They probably had very good reasons for exiting China.

GIT COMMANDS

We divide Git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level
("plumbing") commands.
I've seen enough presentations from Facebook/Google to believe that on a long enough timescale all web services are rewritten in C/C++.
Internet routing in general used to require some solid engineering knowledge. Still, home routers that mostly work out of the box exist, and the learning curve is approachable for people with enough special needs not covered by the default settings. It took some protocols to be designed and widely deployed, from DHCP to mDNS and STUN. But this has been done, and it mostly works.

Running a RAID array was once as enterprisey as it gets. Now you can buy a RAID-ready box (something like Synology) and have a reasonable default configuration, or configure to your taste if you have a general knowledge of what you're doing.

I suppose that LANoT is going to develop eventually into something easy enough to deploy, too.

Re softphones: since US cable providers effectively sell softphones as a part of the cable package, they have every incentive to prevent home routers from allowing to easily set it up for free. OTOH the QoS settings are there in the routers firmwares for that same reason, and desktop / mobile softphones (aka "internet messengers") can use that if they care enough.
FWIW i've never really needed rebase. i am pretty happy with seeing all the commits that ever happened.
I have both NodeRED and Home Assistant but lately Home Assistant doesn't do pretty much anything anymore and everything goes through NodeRED :)

I also run more things on my NUC like drone.io build server to run my tests and few more things. I ended up just having a docker-compose file for all my things as opposed to installing services I use through things like HomeAssistant.
The warning regarding "public, shared, or stable branches" is always warranted, but I think those warnings end up reverberating where they needn't. Before interacting with anything public or shared — when working solo or locally — `rebase` can be hugely helpful. When starting out with something complicated, I often make separate commits for different files or steps; using rebase to reorder commits or amend can make turning your first steps into a viable change much easier, and can help with merge conflicts down the line. I also find it helpful for large commit messages; rather than needing to write everything at once, making liberal use of `fixup` or `squash` can keep disparate thoughts or bug fixes manageable.

I'd never use it on a public or shared branch, but `rebase --interactive` and `--exec` are some of my most-mused git aliases.
Oops, I meant that even though VScode has many flaws (copy paste from the LinuxVM to Windows doesn't work), it still work better for me than Eclipse, CLion or Vim.
So shall we expect that google will penalize in search results the sites which don't use new "portal" element as they do now with AMP?

For sure. Snaps still unfortunately isn't extremely straight forward on the Debian install in Termina(maybe a normal Debian install as well, IDK, I don't normally run Debian) so I figured you might need help! :D

Snaps are nice though for lots of software things and overall a nicer experience than apt, the sandboxing is just icing on the cake.
Mercurial's interface is just fine, and these days it's just as powerful as Git.

Things could be better. There's an existence proof. It just lost the mindshare war and so now we're stuck with Git, which I still have to look up basic syntax for because its command set is contradictory and makes no sense. (Is it git <x>? git <y> --x? git <z> <a-b>? Something else entirely? Who knows!)
So happy to see options for Cljs expanding. Glad I took those horrendous NodeJS dev jobs after a year of Clojure in the data pipeline, for the modern JS RT exp. I am just chillin’ out of tech and waiting for things like this to make me employable again, as I build my dream stack at Starbucks each morning. It’s like waking up is going into the dream lately :).
> One of Git's core value-adds is the ability to edit history

I didn't make it past this line. git is extremely good at keeping history immutable; it's also good at creating new, alternative histories and moving between them.
I wore out my throat telling entrepreneurs that they needed money, users, or someone who could bring in either. I responded to the pain of selling shovels to people doomed to get stuck underground by going to established, profitable businesses only but I love the idea of having a marketing service.

Maybe you could get affiliated with some investors too? Why not?
How do you find such clients? I don't mean your particular channels, just the general idea.
Airport stuff, Ping, Monster branded beats headphones, etc.

You can get support for mac/etc stuff for 5 years after purchase (which admittedly is nice).
However, before you decide that is awesome, things like the headphones were killed with no support regardless of purchase date.

Apple also refuses to call anything it stopped manufacturing "canceled" at all.

It deliberately tries to message this part, calling them "vintage" until they have been "not manufactured" (IE canceled) for at least 7 years. They are then called "obsolete".
This is messaging specifically used to try to confuse the issue, and is unfortunately likely effective.

See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

Apple doesn't turn down a lot of open API's because they never have them in the first place, which i'm not sure is better.

(They do turn down existing closed APIs, and not uncommonly by force - saying if you want to put your app on the store, you must use new version of API x)
Charge by the value you produce, not hours worked.
I think you might be conflating our current executive for the rest of America, which is 50 independent states operating together with a Federal government. Each state has its own way of doing things, and they're all different.

Recent Federal pushes into authoritarian areas, while an indicator that things are moving in that direction, do not make the country as a whole "Authoritarian", let alone VERY authoritarian.

We do tend to lean towards protection for owners of property, rather than renters of property (citation needed? In many states there are STRONG protections for non-owners even those squatting on land that is not theirs) That also severely limits the rights of the government to access the property without cause. That seems... decidedly _not_ authoritarian? But certainly skewed towards ownership.
New “web-standard” from Google?

Yeah. Not interested.
I halfway agree with your comment. I think smart home technology is still in the realm of tinkerers right now, and investing in an ecosystem requires a lot of forethought.

I replaced all of my dumb light switches with zwave light switches, but the nice thing is that they still act as light switches. I bought dumb IP cameras that can stream RTSP instead of going to someone's "cloud". I feed all of this into a homeassistant server that, when it goes down, I shrug because this is a fun hobby of mine, not anything I expect to actually work.

When people ask "wow how can I make my TV do that trick" or "that is cool, what do I need to get started with home automation", I cringe a little because of how embarrassingly techy the industry still is. Even Control4, which is probably the premiere home automation ecosystem, requires a ton of upkeep to keep it running (though at least you can throw money down a hole to have someone fix it).

Also with regards to your comment about turning on the lights to your phone, there's something magical about walking into the living room and saying "Hey Siri, good morning" and having your TV kick on, automatically start streaming the morning news, kitchen and living room lights turn on, and blinds open. There's nothing that really saves a ton of time in it, but it's just nice.
I've heard this before, and it seems reasonable on the surface. The argument I make against this viewpoint is: "git rebase gives us powerful tools that allow us to curate a good commit history in the same way we use refactoring to uphold good software design practices."
My apartment came with a Nest thermostat for free, so maybe I'm not part of the enthusiast base.

I love the feature that automatically detects whether I'm at home and adjusts the setpoint. This uses a sensor in the thermostat, put it also uses my phone's location, so arguably it is a smart home feature.

I also how it integrates with my phone at bedtime and when I wake up. I have a Google Assistant routine set up to adjust the setpoint when I dismiss the alarm in the morning. I also have a routine set up for bedtime which adjusts the thermostat and tells me what's on tomorrow's agenda. I like this better than a programmable thermostat with a set schedule because I don't always sleep at the exact same time, and it's annoying having my place get too hot or too cold before I'm ready for bed, etc.

I can't think of too many other use cases that make sense to me, though.
