I agree with this too. Especially if what the company does is not of interest it's also very difficult to care about what you are doing or even improve in it. Just find another position where you fit.

the parent asks for congress to intervene.

why is it immoral to play by the rules of a country in order to access that country's population? the country's people should decide for themselves how they should be governed. or do you think you know better?
I like the command line and it doesn't surprise me that other people do too. What surprises me is that there are people where an entire friend group universally prefers open source over good UX, since plenty of my friends couldn't tell you what the terms "command line", "open source", and "UX" mean.
> Also, doesn't Canada have a few laws on the books regarding how people are allowed to address other people, specifically, LGBTQ people?

Not really. Canada prohibits hate speech and discrimination against LGBTQ people. The whole "using the wrong pronouns is now a criminal offense" meme was made up by someone looking for something to be offended about/sell books about how PC culture is ruining everything.[1]

People can be sued for discriminating on the basis of gender identity or expression. Repeatedly using the wrong pronoun can be used as evidence of that, but probably has to fit into a larger pattern of behavior. And that's the kind of thing you could credibly sue an employer or business for in the US as well.

What’s the trade-off here? Browsers are trying to protect users against a metric ton of malware trying to exfiltrate login credentials, and the vast majority of users have no clue what an extension even is.

Last week my dad thought he had a virus, but really it was just a BS spam site that he had accidentally allowed to send him notifications. The screen in Chrome to revoke notification access was like 8 clicks deep.

Browser extensions are a powerful, beautiful, dangerous bit of tech. Is it asking too much to put some guard rails in place that really aren’t too much trouble to follow?

I bet if you stress test a server via http and via https, the CPU time won't be as different as you might think.

The main efficiency lost is that you can no longer have big shared cache networks for everybody, but those were a security risk anyway.

Scaling Feedback Panda (An Elixir/Vue SaaS) to $55k MRR in Under 2 Years [video]
My personal experience has been the opposite, actually. Early on, I realized that I was constantly being asked by coworkers to “look at this, look at that”, none of which were related to the work that my actual manager had assigned me. So I said no: I focused on what my manager was telling me to do. That seemed to be the “right thing” to do. Everybody hated me because I wouldn’t help them. They showed up in meetings and said they couldn’t meet their commitments because commandlinefan “wasn’t available to help me get CVS set up on my computer”. Management churn being what it was, I never had the same manager for more than six months anyway, so by the time performance reviews came around, whoever my manager-du-jour happened to be based my performance review on the consistently negative things he was hearing from my coworkers. I couldn’t even defend myself by pointing to having accomplished what the previous manager told me to focus on, either: priority churn being what it was, most of it ended up being scrapped before it was used. I finally saw the writing on the wall and did a complete 180. I became the most helpful guy in the world. If anybody, ever, for any reason, asked for my help, I dropped whatever I was doing and focused on helping them until their problem was fixed. Performance reviews went from “needs serious improvement” to “exceeds expectations”. I rarely, if ever, finish anything that I’m actually supposed to be working on, and nobody cares. It’s all reputation, and mine is stellar. I haven’t said no in 20 years and I’ve never been more loved by corporate.

Why not ship any improvements you have immediately to the users?
Number one would probably be to ensure the rpi has a good cabled connection to the router (and make sure it uses it instead of WiFi). VPN connections going back and forth over WiFi would slow things down. Next bottleneck would probably be CPU. Check if the CPU is being maxed out or throttled when you’re using the VPN.

I was a mercurial user and eventually changed to git.

I think from the perspective of a repository maintainer git was always the better choice. And those are the ones who choose the VCS. For most devs, that just want to commit, mercurial had the friendlier user interface. But I am glad git won, because now as a developer I use a lot of it's functionality that I never expected from an VCS.
Sorry, that is nonsense. You are over-interpreting a term. Put a plastic bag into the sun for some months and it will break into tiny pieces on the slightest touch. The radiation outside the earth atmosphere is way more dissolving than the sun shine on the ground. So a material could be chosen so that it desintegrates, if you don't like the term "dissolve", in a certain timespan in space. Actually, it will be a challenge to make sure that those disks hold up long enough.
Makes perfect sense. Poaching FB's (or any competition for that matter) employees potentially makes them easier to compete with and increases the cost for FB to compete.
Ask HN: Feedback on Idea? RC Package Delivery Bot
I think the tech is sufficiently affordable and reliable enough to make a sturdy remote control 4 wheel package delivery bot for those last mile deliveries.

Some kind of form factor like this:
https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/1/11/16879432/savioke-relay-hotel-delivery-robot-wi-fi-dead-zones-mingle-ces-2018 (hotel delivery robot example; imagine scaling it up with e.g. electric bike drivetrain)

Before (and even if) self driving tech becomes a thing, just remote control via cameras+WiFi and GPS. I'm thinking it'd be fast enough to take advantage of bike lanes, but could always go slower/safer on sidewalks. Should be convenient for some remote workers at delivery centers.

Can have an app to unlock password of cargo hull upon getting downstairs to person's building (or outside house). Basically have UI mechanisms to not worry going inside buildings where possible.

I read those comments as, "the longevity of this project is amazing!" and not "I can't believe people are still using this instead of X, Y, or Z."

I can't find anything specific at the moment but anecdotally I remember seeing this and being told it hurt performance to encrypt everything. The "solution" was to only encrypt sensitive pages like forms for credit cards.

I'm sure there was some substance to it at the time when computers, networks and browsers were slower but I also completely ignored that advice at the time and always used SSL everywhere on sites I set up.

I've never manged a very high traffic site so any extra overhead from SSL was negligible for us.
This is admittedly more along the lines of fever-dream thinking, but I've thought more than once how it would be interesting to have a programming language that actually encodes the "Why" as well as the what/how. Complete with type safety, like maybe you'd have to ensure that your various business reasons for encoding a particular function are still true, and otherwise it wouldn't compile.
They never said it was a bad idea, the concerns were that at the time it took too much processing power to scale.
The syntax is what gets me... it's so unpythonic. Like the walrus operator... No thanks!
When people were concerned about HTTPS overhead? Both in terms of increased latency when establishing a connection and AES overhead for the duration of the connection. Hardware TLS accelerators used to be a thing.
> Consumer Reports is unfortunately stuck in an age-old era. There needs to be a more modernized version, with more recent hardware reviews, better discussion forums, better community engagement, etc. etc. A combination of Reddit-like discussions, but with a core set of trusted reviewers who can lead the community (and who can be trusted to be "non-shills").

I disagree. I pay for Consumer Reports and like it the way it is. Keeping comment sections civil is hard and a lot of work, which would distract them from their primary purpose.
It's faster. But if you already have a working system that you are happy with it may not warrant a switch. I think it's main strength lies in how easy it is to set up though. First time setting it up from scratch I had a working VPN in less than 5 minutes.

You make some interesting points. There was a time I was intrigued by Objectivism but ultimately it fell flat for me. I sort of had similar ideas before encountering it in the literature, but these days I'm mostly captivated by what I learned from "Sapiens" to be known as inter-subjective reality, which I also mostly arrived at through my own questioning of Objectivism. I'm not sure we can conceive of any objective reality completely divorced from our own perceptive abilities.

> Reason requires free will

isn't it still kind of an open question whether humans have free will, or what free will even is? How can we be sure our own brains are not simply very complex (hah, sorry, oxymoron) machines that don't "reason" so much as react to or interpret series of inputs, and transform, associate and store information?

I find the answer to this question often moves into metaphysical, mystical or straight up religious territory. I'm interested to know some more philosophical approaches to this.

I used to have a 300 baud modem, which was used to connect computers over the phone (BBSs). It was fun to listen to and when I upped it to 1200 baud, it was fun to hear the difference from white noise to the more distinct beeps in the 300 baud.

I think it's neat to experience data in different forms, audible, tangible, and maybe aromatic (smell-o-vision) data?
I disagree with some of Sarah's takes on how education should change, e.g:

>Most curricula lack a preliminary phase of collectively exploring students’ existing interests, before introducing them to material in a way that will be relevant to what they already care about.

>But why, in an age where we know that learning can be made nearly addictive, is [gamification] not one of the standard ways we engage young (and older) minds?

>Redesigning curricula is a relatively inexpensive educational intervention

(This last one made me laugh, cause my dad has been intimately involved in curriculum redesign, and it mostly seems to involve every single teacher complaining that you are making their jobs harder and threatening to quit)

I think the ability to focus on something "uninteresting":

• Probably requires some kind of willpower

• Is deeply useful and occasionally necessary (e.g doing my friggin taxes)

• Seems to vary innately from person to person (which is unfair)

• But seems to be something we can improve at (relatable if you've ever tried to have a meditation practice)

• And something we can actually get worse at (e.g building a dependence on social-network dopamine)

So I'm not sure that removing opportunities to practice this is going to help anyone in the long term. I guess you could turn "learning" into "addictive games" and try make sure everyone has a motivating, personal connection to the material before it's taught, but I'm not sure how this doesn't produce a whole generation of people who can't focus on anything except Candy Crush.

Algo is pretty cool for setting up an IKEv2 VPN server, but under the hood it uses StrongSwan, which is far more complicated in a code/engineering sense than WireGuard.

Wireguard does claim to be faster. It’s also much simpler from a design perspective, so it might end up being more secure.

But other than that, there’s no big reason to switch if you have a setup you’re happy with.
