Also, Ad Blockers are becoming quite prevalent again. Personally, I’ve started using one again for privacy reasons. If a publisher would actually respect my Do Not Track request, I’d happily leave their ads up. I have no problem with contextual advertising.

"We're all working for these guys now".

That was the astute remark of the cafe/restaurant owner when I asked her how the business is going. (It's a lovely cafe/little hole in the wall in Brooklyn selling Brazilian fare.)

She first expressed gratitude for having an understanding landlord and the arrangements they have made. "And we were already set up for delivery unlike some others", she said. I remarked "business must be good for these delivery services", to which she replied "We're all working for these guys now".

HCQ is also used in Costa Rica[1] for every patient and they have a very low death rate[2]. It's interesting that since it's such a cheap widely available drug, and even produced locally in Costa Rica, that developing countries can use it for every case.

When a corporate lawyer hears a law explicitly list technologies like "IP addresses" and "cookies", they're going to (rationally) get scared when you step outside the clear boundaries of that law, and it's their job to place institutional pressure on technical people within the corporation not to do things that make them scared.

A larger order is more expensive if delivering by bike (think urban areas). The bike would have limited storage space. One large order means fewer small orders performed in parallel by the courier.
My point was about meeting requirements to gain access. Not about following the law. However, would it be against the law to have a club that is only open to ex-cons?

I understand that the GDPR makes it illegal to make it necessary to consent to give up your data before gaining entry. I was just questioning that portion of the law. It would be a pointless conversation to question points of a law and have someone respond back "but that is the law".
This only means that, so far, he's only talking about giving most of his money away, not actually doing it. If he'd be doing it at any significant speed, we'd be seeing monthly/yearly drops in his net worth.
Couldn't you do the reverse now with WSL 2?

The files would live in WSL 2 directly, but then you access them over Windows through the WSL network path?

I don't have insiders installed so I don't know how slow that would be. Like if you CTRL+p'd in Sublime Text, would it have to grab a list of files from over the network on every call, or does it cache these files locally on a per ST session basis, etc..

There's also maybe the option of running ST natively in WSL 2 and expose its GUI over an X-server. I know latency there is very good (near native) because I've done it in the past. This also gives you the added advantage of ST being able to know about your Linux environment which could be nice for linting and other things that require having your programming runtime installed in the same place as your editor.

You can still have shortcuts too in Windows, for pinning stuff to your taskbar or having right click menus. I do this with Vim now with WSL 1, where I have a custom "open with Vim" right click menu in explorer that opens terminal / native Linux Vim that's installed in WSL.

> Microsoft appears to be pricing their hardware in line with Apple now? $1599 starting price for the Book? I get the quality and the features are up there but the price is unappealing.

We'll have to see the detail of the configuration, but the original Surface Book had an entry price of 1500 (5 years ago), and it was a fairly anemic configuration (iGP, 128GB storage). The SB2 lowered the price to 1150 for a similarly anemic base configuration (no iGP and 128GB storage, and a Kaby Lake where the other models got Refresh).

The book's always been a pretty premium laptop.

> the surface Go even starts at a reasonable $399 but then to add a dock is $250? The dock is is 62.5% the cost of the computer? That seems rather steep

You do know that the Surface Go is a tablet right? The "keyboard" is the $130 Type Cover. Getting a dock just for that seems somewhat unlikely. As in, if you already have a dock for some other surface product you might use it with a Go, you're not going to buy a dock for a Go, that's insane.
The "real time" control loop between the sensor on one car and the brakes on the same car is much tighter than that between the sensor on this car and the brakes on another car and then feedback from the other car that braking has started.

I don't actually know how long it takes between the computer deciding to brake and the car actually starting to slow down, but I expect you can't just throw out a message saying "I'm braking immediately" and start braking without any kind of confirmation that the message was received, and expect it to be OK.

But maybe you can afford to wait for a confirmation? The speed of light is pretty fast, and you're not transmitting that many bytes.

Especially if you consider that a human could easily take 200 milliseconds to react to something even if it's really paying attention. You could request a braking confirmation from the other side of the Atlantic and still come out ahead!
Then it's not so much a cookie consent API we're looking for but an "unwanted cookie" consent API. Issue immediately becomes political, which IMO is why previous attempts at such (Do Not Track header) have failed.

With browsers you can of course default to blacklisting all cookies and add exceptions as you go. I did this privately in Firefox until I was sent to work from home during the pandemic, after which figuring out what cookies I needed to enable to get Teams to work proved too much of a hassle.
This was done as you probably know [1] but it's not clear that the road surface is a good place for solar panels. They get dirty and damaged. It's certainly orthogonal to charging vehicles on the road, given we know how to transmit power already.

Everyone's privacy will be protected - the same consent restrictions will also apply to your paid customers. Free webservices are not the majority of the world's businesses, a big part of why GDPR was needed is because all the paid online and offline services also traded all their subscriber private data; and with GDPR you can't just have a line in your paid service terms&conditions that allows you to screw their privacy.
If someone works for two companies such as both Lyft and Uber are they still a dependent contractor? If you have more than one source of income that seems to be mutually exclusive with being dependent, no?

Is this a fair summary, then: A site with free-to-read content must by default load no tracking scripts/cookies - aside from those that do so in anonymized aggregate form - unless the website visitor positively confirm they're okay with being tracked individually? That's how I'm reading it. Basically they want to change the default behaviour of websites to collecting aggregate user analytics only.

I suspect that a number of organizations that post free content and justify some/all of that expense with the marketing data they collect are going to look at changing that practice. More paywalls that require free user registration are the obvious next step. I wonder if that's not a step backwards for the Web.

The original Surface Dock supplies power, two USB ports, two mini-displayport plugs, a headphone jack, and an ethernet port. (I'm using one right now.) With my first gen Surface Book, I'm able to drive two external screens through the dock, or use the laptop screen plus one more. Haven't tried with a Surface Book 2 yet. The nice part is that it just reuses the charging port.

As far as docking stations go, it's a substantial step up from most docks. That new price tag is still pretty steep though.

The commission is indirectly elected. Your democratically elected leaders propose the commission, i.e. the Council of the European Union [0]. I guess in US terms it could be thought of as more similar to the senate?

After being proposed they are then democratically confirmed by the parliament which you directly elect.

I haven’t tried it, so I am interested in others’ experience with it, since it’s an interesting design.

Ask HN: How to overcome your skill plateau as a programmer?
Hi all,

I've been working professionally as a software developer for 3-4 years, and am currently in a large engineering organization (not a FAANG but a financial firm). While the day-to-day work I do is "coding", little of it has been on projects where I feel I've come out more knowledgeable about building good software.

My current struggle is having recognized the __large__ gap between writing "code that works" and writing programs that are stable, maintainable, and extensible. As much as I've been aware of it, I still find myself writing more of the former than the latter. Work projects feel limiting on how much I can explore new ideas / re-think architecture and design philosophies, while personal projects have felt mediocre and any attempt at writing good code has come off as "premature optimization".

I love programming, but this skill/understanding plateau has left me a bit burned out recently.

Have any of you ever experienced something similar after a few years in the industry or as professionals? How did you deal with it, and what were some actionable steps that helped you overcome it?

I know some of you on HN have been programming for decades, so I'm curious to hear what were the moments you were able to take and become better engineers.

Thank you for any insights you may have!

> The only valid response to this question (a question asked on hacker news of all places)

Hacker News - a site where people make a sport of middlebrow dismissals of others' work and complaining about the features of other sites and software they very likely have never had a single PR accepted for.

The real answer is that PG probably just added to topbar feature to have a karma reward for users to work towards as a means of positive reinforcement (I haven't actually found a specific quote from him on that) and also that the current admins tend to be conservative about adding new features, so likely they don't believe a dark mode would improve the quality of the site enough to be worth the effort.

I think you're probably correct. But, frustratingly, it's equally possible that the HCQ increased the likelihood of negative outcomes for younger patients. Or, that HCQ decreased the likelihood of negative outcomes without regard to age, resulting in fewer bad outcomes for really old people.
Very true, but the allocations remain fixed. Their value doesn't really change based on individual performance, which is part of why they see them as "lost" when they walk away. On average though, they tend to at least track inflation. In practice, you'll find their effectiveness for retention trends to track a company's prospects. If you work at a company whose stock has done well over you've been there, you could see why it'd be hard to go somewhere else and be as well compensated as you'd be staying where you are.

If they are still refusing to put Thunderbolt 3 ports in, they could have put the far better Ryzen Chips in...
If we end up with a treatment that swings infection fatality rate from 0.6% to 0.55% and reduces hospital stay time by 15%-- and HCQ probably does less than this-- the public policy choices we'd want to make are basically identical. Peak hospital load for a wave is lowered by much less than 15%; body count is just about as bad.

Yes, everyone who has their life saved by this treatment is happy, and it's worth chasing small improvements on the margin... but...

(It's worth noting that the (very) little evidence from controlled trials that we have leans more in the direction of harm than benefit, too. But the same argument holds for e.g. remdesivir where we do have some decent evidence).
