I use a mix of Windows 7 and *nix OSes both at home and work.

At work we do have some Win10 machines, and they are ALWAYS doing something completely off the wall bizarre and unexpected, also doing any sort of maintenance on them is a pain, the tablet-style interface shoehorned into some places just doesn't work well.

I know Win7 support is over, but we don't intend to leave it for Win10, we might leave it for Reactos or something else, but not Win10.

Some examples of Win10 issues:

sending tons of data to MS without permission.

Not allowing us to install with local account unless we disable network on the EFI.

Despite we trying everything to disable updates, the thing updates itself, reset several configurations, and reboot the machine.

One of the times it did that, it broke some ancient but mandatory software on our business (it was a PDF driver that was mandatory to be used by our bank that would issue the invoice for our clients, so when this happened we were forced to install all banking software on a Win7 machien so we could get paid...).

Showing ads out of the blue on Start menu and on the login screen.

Installed games without permission (not Microsoft ones, I mean stuff that is popular on mobile, from king.com and whatnot).

The list goes and goes on.
> I feel like the tech in general is getting user-hostile...

Of course it is. How else can tech sustain perpetual growth without wringing every penny out of users?
Cool thing about this is that it will be a direct energy capture if I understand it correctly.

"The hydrogen/boron fusion creates a couple of helium atoms," he continues. "They're naked heliums, they don't have electrons, so they have a positive charge. We just have to collect that charge. Essentially, the lack of electrons is a product of the reaction and it directly creates the current."
"but a heat pump requires a big unit placed outside the home that makes noise."

Old ones maybe. We've installed a Mitsubishi mini-split that can heat a 1900 sq ft. mediocrely insulated home in Appalachia (this morning was -6C). Never mind, the indoor spits (<30dB?), the compressor outside is so quiet you can't hear it if you're next to it. My, brand new, radon pump is far noisier.

As to footprint, the compressor is tall and wide (about 1m). But it's only 25 cm thick, so it doesn't take much room at all along the wall.

Really, Europe has no reason at all not to go all in with splits.

So what would you use instead of threads?

How do you mean "maximizing locality"?

My intuition is that the reason Java can be concurrent is that it uses a VM that incurs cache misses on all IO. So in practice you can't have both.

In C you can try to use locks to achieve something but for a long time of development you will be in dead-lock and race condition hell.

I loathe Universal Credit.

This 63% thing is the replacement for "working tax credits" -- it's a top-up of wages for people on low paid work. People get their wages, and then on top of that they get extra money.

In the past this would have been working tax credits.

The advantages are that claimants do not need to ask for permission before starting work. They can just do the work and then declare it. The disadvantages are that the system can't cope well with zero-hour contracts or self-employment, and this is leaving people in severe financial hardship.

> This lady could not see that her failure to accept intermarriage negated her claim to genuine liberalism.

No true Scotsman. Also, maybe she didn't want her daughter to suffer the cost of how society treated mixed race couples at the time. That's society's racism on display, not hers. I think we should all just be a little more charitable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the example given of a link with "cancer" in the scroll-to-text part wouldn't show up in a DNS query would it?

My understanding was that only the domain is queried, but the full path is not seen by a DNS server.
It's kind of hilarious that they still spend money on the PR team to push these stories about how important and sanctimonious cash is while at the same time printing billions of dollars every night and just transferring to any bank or hedge fund that wants it in the overnight repo market.

A whole set of theatrics for the commoners who still use cash, meanwhile we just press some buttons and poof a billion dollars appears out of thin air in your account (if you're rich enough).
You’re making me hate my CPA. When I became wealthy, they barely reduced my taxes at all but they were very good at pressuring me into setting up convoluted schemes that turned out to be mostly useless and are a nightmare to unravel.
It's not tech that is getting user-hostile, it's just bad tech.

The big problem IMHO is that some of the essential technology we rely on every day -- our operating systems, communication devices, vehicles -- has been moving rapidly into that category in recent years.

When the pseudo-malware stuff was only being done by individual applications or websites or quirky IoT devices, you could mostly avoid it by just not using those things. Now it's becoming unavoidable, and that's a serious concern.
Germany has massive overcapacity in electricity production capabilities - even though a bunch of nuclear power plants have been closed. Many gas power plants were not profitable and were idling. This has changed a bit and coal got more expensive, so it was increasingly leaving the market.

Whenever renewable is available, it pushes a lot of other sources out of the market. In the current months there were a lot of days where wind was the major source of electricity for the whole of Germany. For example in the windy days from Tuesday 28th Jan until Saturday 1st Feb the wind electricity share climbed from 47% on Tuesday to 61% on Saturday. Other sources either leave the market or more gets exported.

Hopefully it helps to recognize the beneficial outcome of your action (which I pointed out). I've been there, so I'm trying to help.
If you're buying from AliExpress/Wish (aka: direct from china) I don't think there's much room for being surprised when you get fakes. eBay in many cases too.

Amazon especially needs to get its shit together, though. I unsubscribed from Prime and have all but stopped using Amazon because of how it's turned into basically "eBay with marginally faster shipping" at this point given all the absolute offbrand crap that's filling the site.
He's not alone; I've had similar problems with my 3960X.

It seems to be a power delivery issue, and fortunately fixable if you disable all spread-spectrum and VRM power-saving options, but the Zen series seems a tricky beast.

Three years ago was pre-18.04, which I've been using very successfully on my personal Lenovo X1C5 for quite a while now.

With 20.04 imminent, it might be worth giving it another shot in a VM to see if things have changed.

Personally, I used Win10 on my carbon for a while (having previously tried and given up on Linux on a T410) before finally getting tired of the forced reboots, the software auto installs, etc, and giving Ubuntu 18.04 a shot. It isn't perfect (e.g. the fingerprint reader has never worked, and suspend sometimes doesn't work if Bluetooth is turned on) but I was genuinely shocked at how otherwise functional it is out of the box (even the USB C dock works after installing the DisplayLink drivers). Heck, with TLP installed using an out-of-the-box configuration, battery life is better than Windows.

It's at the point where I genuinely prefer it to the Win10 X1C5 I have at work.
Has your business looked into using Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC?
> Windows 10 is a total catastrophe for business and private use.

There is just no real competition, so business and private users don't have a say in it anyway. MacOS requires different hardware and only has to be a little bit better to compete with Windows, so it's progressively getting worse as well. Linux distros lack in other areas and are also heavily corporate driven and low quality, sure if you invest time in it you won't be able to tolerate Windows and MacOS, but you might need a lot of time, as usefulness and freedom of Linux only really exists for programmers. There is also pressure from iOS and Android, people do not care as much about desktop OSes, they live within their phones, and forgive desktop OSes a lot more crap because of that.

On the other hand maybe someone will see an opportunity for a high quality desktop Linux distro that addresses many problems of other OSes now that other OSes are getting so much worse.

> Writing is an art, not a science.

Writing fiction may be an art, but writing nonfiction is a craft. And essays are nonfiction.

The creator of art seeks somehow to offer fresh insight, often employing some form of novelty, be it technique, medium, context, perspective, etc.

Craft, however, isn't about novelty; it's about engineering a clear convincing message effectively, efficiently, and ideally... memorably and with elan.

I admit the line between art and craft is often blurry (probably because the craftsman has taken too much artistic license). Unlike art, the techniques employed in an essay should never impede its purpose. There, it's only the message that matters, not the medium.
Reverie Labs (YC W18) Is Hiring Infra Engineers to Help Cure Cancer
They might accept the raise and try to work less hours to keep the total similar. Or it works as an incentive to start finding ways to pay less taxes, out of a notion of fairness.
at least in the US, income tax brackets are done in a mostly reasonable way. if the tax bracket is at $30,000 and you make $35,000, then you’d pay a low percentage of the first $30k and a higher percentage of the last $5k. so you can’t lose money by earning an extra dollar, at least only considering income tax.

it’s other benefits, tax credits, social programs, etc. that sometimes end up being designed with perverse incentives.
This is odd, considering it's a Microsoft device, but the Surface Pro I bought in January had a local account option available, and I connected to the update servers before creating my local account. However, around the same time I accidentally converted the local account on my gaming desktop into a Msft account when signing into 365 to setup onedrive. I didn't realize I was doing that until my account photo on the login screen changed. I can still login to the PC with my old password (Msft account p/w is the typical 20 char random string from my password manager).

Tip- you can disable the security nag notifications in defender settings individually. There is a screen with different categories of 'threats', and you can turn on/off warnings individually. You probably don't want those notifications entirely disabled, since it is pretty useful as anti-virus, but the account and backup notifications are obnoxious.
I have long thought this fuel was a far better fit. Really in a practical sense, you don't get that much benefit from most tritium fusion reactors compared to fission. Meaning that compared to what we have now, fusion and fission are so much more efficient anyway.

The primary problem for fission is state regulation and large cost even if you didn't have to pass regulation. And most fusion concepts can't really address that much better.

Directly creating current rather then having a whole heat to electricity transformation might allow the whole thing to be much cheaper.
“Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome.”

There are currently few economic incentives for these market places to try harder to stop counterfeit vendors. The solution seems to be harsher consequences for the marketplaces.

I'm also kind of surprised by Walmart's inclusion. There are no examples in the article on their products, and they say that Walmart disputed the findings, so what's the deal? I wasn't aware that they were using 3rd party vendors in the same way Amazon does.
That would be a motherboard issue not a CPU one, though.

How do you get such cheap foam price, bulk orders?

I once tried to purchase foam myself for a old sofa and the foam price was almost as high as purchasing a new sofa.
For folks who don't know emacs, I think it's wise to advise most people to focus on learning one thing and learning one thing well. Emacs is huge and learning it can distract from learning clojure. There is Cursive for Intellij IDEA (my personal tool), Atom plugins (the platform I learned clojure on), Visual Studio Code plugins, even vim plugins. But if you're already a vim user, I recommend Spacemacs as it is well documented and works great with clojure with a next to no configuration out of the box.
Hmm are we having another "AMD motherboards are crap" moment?

Or is it simply that delivering 200+W at load through a CPU socket can't be reliably done at consumer prices?

Anyone has had this problem with less high end CPUs? Something at 95-65 W?
There are specific requirements to assure the fidelity of simulators so this still should have been caught if the design process was robust enough I think
I have as well, but Amazon isn't bad when what you need is cheap crap (a bag of 1000 cable ties, for example). Bonus: they keep offering me free trials of Prime so I just save up a cart of stuff and then buy it when they give me free shipping.
I have basically stopped buying anything from Amazon that I can just buy direct from the manufacturer. Especially clothes, kids toys, etc. Most online stores now have shipping that is almost as fast, and 9 times out of 10 an extra couple of days shipping is not a big deal.

> However, almost all homes in the Netherlands are heated by gas directly from the source.

Given the climate of NL is relatively mild, averaging between 0 to 25C,[1] would something like a heat pump be ideal for the area? There are units that can operating down to -20C.

There seems to be a desire to move off of gas:

> What's more, the product was found to contain 751 times the amount of lead Health Canada considers acceptable in cosmetics.

How long are we going to let companies hide behind their "platform" bullshit?

They know this happens but, because they're not the actual seller, they get to offload the liabilities to some fly-by-night company that'll close down and reopen under a different name.

Lead in products is dangerous and people should be going to jail but nothing ever happens.

Get caught, close the company, open a new one, pay some fees to open the reseller account and continue hurting people.
For some languages, it doesn't even compile. For others, there are OAS features (e.g. allOf, anyOf) that weren't handled correctly.

I actually still haven't found a single implementation of a OAS consumer (mock server, type generator, etc.) that implements the whole spec correctly.
AFAIK that's still not an option available to for home users or small businesses, though (unless you're willing to do illegal things to get it, I assume, but that's not a good solution to the underlying problem here).
Haskell's kind of the winner here, in that people seem to take substantial pay cuts to work in it.

The search boxes let you search github for open source projects. For example if you want to hire developers for a rails project that uses react for the front end, you could search for rails and react, and the result would be developers that have contributed to both.

Can someone explain why this is considered fusion? The reaction involves shooting a proton (hydrogen) at a boron nuclei and outputting 3 alpha particles. That seems more like the nuclei being split apart than fused together.
> This is how it rings to my ear. Racket as is, is in some way frozen when it comes to features and big changes. Rhombus is where the next set of awesomeness will happen.

You still seem to be misunderstanding how Racket and #lang's work. Rhombus and Racket will be the same language, but with different parsers. Big features of Rhombus will be added by adding those features to Racket.

Languages in Racket are not developed independently of each other, they all share the underlying language machinery.
Translations of the Bible, at least in historically Christian cultures, are usually treated as authoritative examples of proper written usage.
Why is anyone shocked AliExpress products are fake? I only go there if I want a knock off version of something (shirts, AirPod cases, etc.). Ebay and Amazon are also not surprising either, but both retailers often have the "official merchants" of products that are being sold. As long as you buy through the official storefronts, then you're good to go.
I wouldn’t normally take apart an HN comment on grammar, but you are commenting on clarity of writing. If this is something you care about, than the following proofing may be useful. Format is (delete text)[insert text or comment].

That’s because you have very (few exposition)[little exposure] to (1890 writing)[writing from 1890]. When I read published (book)[books;otherwise “often” in next segment doesn’t make sense] from a hundred years ago (in French), I’m often (stroke)[struck] by how much clearer it is than[,] say, (newspaper garbage)[awkward] (for instance)[redundant after using “than, say,”]. No[t] only in style, but also how (they)[unclear reference, refers to books but books don’t write, authors do] write to inform instead of writing to hide facts.
It’s even more striking when watching archive videos from the 60’[s]. People speak more slowly, are more composed and use wider vocabulary. It might not be as (caricatural)[not a word and intended meaning unclear from context] as the movie Idiocracy portrayed it, but[,] in a way[,] I feel we’ve (slided)[slid] into what (they)[it] predict[s].
And Shopify. It’s probably #2 behind Amazon, if I had to guess. Their one-stop deploy a drop ship website is far too convenient.
I've also just stopped using Amazon for ethical reasons on top of the decline in quality.

However, if I want cheap stuff, that's what I use eBay for.

Given Amazon has just turned into, like I said, eBay with slightly faster shipping, I have no reasons to use it anymore.
Latest LTSC (Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019) has some of the problems described.
I would recommend the `typescript-angular` generator as a starting point for evaluation as it's pretty active and we just added Angular 9 support.
I believe Walmart's online store offers items from third parties but honors Walmart's return policies and guarantees. In order to compete with selection of options for online marketplaces like Amazon, I imagine they had to start sourcing products from third parties that don't typically appeal to the masses and fit in their store models.

In physical stores, last I checked, counterfeits weren't really applicable in anyway and seems to be fairly well quality controlled.
Love the references to David Kirsh's work on Tetris. I.e., to see if Tetris shapes fit, one can either mentally rotate or use the button to rotate: both are cognitive processes, but one is more externalized.
I think it's a reasonable analogy, but I would say ReasonML is actually more than Rhombus in a sense. Rhombus doesn't require any external tooling, because Racket has support for implementing #lang's built in to it.
AliExpress=eBay=Amazon. They all sell the same stuff, it's only the shipping speed that's different.

They all hide behind the "Platform" laws and get to offload liability to some no-name fly by night company.
I keep forgetting how hopelessly after on the insulation central Europe is compared to us in the north. A friend of a friend built a house by Swedish standards in the UK a while ago and all her neighbors pitied her because the snow remained on her roof during winter.
