I wonder if anyone knows of any resources for people who want to maximize the woodworking they can do in an average-sized city apartment. We don't have the space to for a real woodshop. But what we can do is dedicate a sizable closet to tools, try to get as far as we can without the big stuff, and live with woodworking involving a significant "set up a temporary shop in the middle of the living room" and then tear it down phase. I've been doing this for small projects, improvising and making do, and would love to hear stories of how others have managed.

Your original post put the blame for inequality on government intervention via money printing.

Govt Inflation -> Inequality.

If only we still had the gold standard then they couldn't cause inequality!

This theory however is contradicted by a bunch of historical data.

There was massive inequality on the gold standard pre-WW1. The New Deal was a huge govt intervention which reduced inequality.

My explanation is that the problem is not government interference in 'free' markets but inequality in power. Economic power via monopolies & weak labour bargaining position AND political power via lobbying, strong parties, gerrymandering.

This power inequality is then leveraged by the powerful to create wealth inequality. The exact mechanisms by which they corrupt the systems to capture that wealth be it inflation or deflation or government handouts or M&A regulations or even slavery doesn't matter. If the systems are controlled by this massive inequality in power then it will find a way to corrupt the rules in powers favour.

So arguing for any particular economic policy is less important than reforming the voting systems, the tax system, the lobbying system and ownership of the media.
I’m not sure, but is Windows 10 not slightly different from previous releases insofar as you can directly download the ISO for Windows 10?

Unless you had an MSDN subscription it was a little more difficult to grab an ISO back in the day.

Of course, it’s still illegal to modify and upload the modified version...but you’d think the patcher would be an even more obvious route than normal these days if it’s so easy to download an ISO.

I’m not a Windows person, could somebody explain this a little bit better for me?
If memory serves the group policy setting does work but only on the Enterprise version of Windows 10.

Don’t get him started on CATV franchises or residential zoning laws.
Considering they didn't even hit the guy who was shooting at them, I'd say backing out of the apartment would have been a much better strategy.
The problem is - and I'm not saying this lightly - that many people don't actually know how to use hand tools properly and would not be able to - for instance - make a straight and perpendicular cut in a sheet of plywood using a handsaw.

In those cases the circular saw has a better chance of delivering the goods. Of course it can also be a shortcut to the ER...

Saw, set of chisels, tape measure, good clawhammer, drillpress, drills, white glue, good set of screwdrivers.

Then some time and materials to bootstrap your way into making clamps, a workbench, miter box and so on and before you know it you have a working woodshop for relatively little money.
From my perception the power users already left years ago. It's just that with WSL they're very slowly starting to come back.
I'm not surprised. My company has also done this. Basically it's because we don't have an agreement with them about data protection, and we can't have company information going over 3rd party systems without a contract.

Linkedin provides value to me in two ways:

- My connections list would make a potential recruiter (and maybe even the Linkedin Algorithm) be slightly more confident that I am who I say I am, i.e. I did work at the companies and studied at the schools I listed) because there would be people in that list who have shared that history with me. I make sure these are the only people in my connections list, apart from a few recruiters I wouldn't mind chatting with again.

- I can be discoverable professionally/personally by a google search. I don't have any other social media accounts.

I take some effort to maximize this value and minimize the other irritations and distractions. Example: I unfollow everyone I connect, so my feed is mostly empty. I don't connect with people I don't know or those who don't bother interacting in any other way except just sending a request.

Some people could go a few steps further and use uBlock origin's element picker to permanently block the UI elements constituting the feed and anything else they don't want to see. This way all you get is maybe a few emails a month maximum, and potentially good job opportunities. Everyone else just sees a quasi-official page about my professional experience.
What about authentication, authorization?

Also, how do you handle transactional logic?

Linux 5.8 to Support Emulating MLC NAND Flash Memory as SLC
> At first view, some may conclude that Ninjutsu OS amounts to a heavily modified yet pirated version of Windows 10. However, a video explaining how the software works suggests that users will actually need their own license for a genuine copy of Windows 10 to get the modifications up and running properly. Ninjutsu’s creator informs TF that’s indeed the case.

That is literally opposite of how it works. As Windows EULA does not give you rights to distribute derivative works, sharing practically any kind of modified Windows image is illegal, ever if you only change default desktop background image. But circumventing activation for yourself can actualy be legal in some specific scenarios.

This sounds like a great idea. Effectively fitting in two "days" in each 24 hours. Then you're swimming every other "day" and the days in between you can do your other activities.
Excellent points:

> Fear of scarcity. Not having a job when you need a job is a terrible feeling, I get it. It's why I joined LinkedIn in the first place.

> Fear of missing out. Maybe some magical opportunity might trickle down through your network of connections? The truth is, if you're relying on LinkedIn to manage your network, those relationships are thin as tinsel.

> The corporate work culture survives on people's fears. If you don't play by the rules of the people in power, how will you make money, how will you feed your family, how will you contribute to society?

...and social media played on similar fears around social life.
Right, bit the justification for this was that libraries were closed because of covid. If people weren't using them before then it doesn't affect them

Linkedin works for me not the other way around. Its a giant rolodex, stays mostly out of the way and make it easy for me to investigate various things like who knows a person or what does company x do I even pay for the premium account and have for years. Its not useful for everyone and definitely not all the ti e but when its is, its all the money worth.
"Finally, after I cofounded a company, I closed my LinkedIn account". It does seem that author never tried to use LinekdIn other than as an online copy of the CV. In my expirience it can be an ok job board replacement for example.

Lack of police training, idiotic judicial system and last but not least a completely broken democracy... the issues run very deep and cases like Breanna Taylor show that.

The police DID commit a home invasion, they were the criminals and murderers. At no point they had the right to shoot back, as Taylors boyfriend had to assume an armed home invasion. And that assumption was true. He acted in justified self-defense and the cops murdered his girlfriend for it.

I too don't get the animosity for LinkedIn. For me too all the career defining moves happened because of LinkedIn.

My point is really that we don’t use analogies to design houses and I think we should stop using analogies to design software.

To your first point, I’ve built a couple of houses, and I’ve never had to worry about how they would evolve or be modified by others after they were built.
I'm not sure I understand your point. By questioning the choice of "protests" vs "riots", are you suggesting that the actions taken by a minority of those participating should be used as the header for the whole article? Because that would seem to be a much more biased way to record the events.

Anyone else notice significantly more notification spam from LinkedIn lately? It seems like I’m guaranteed to get a badge notification daily now compared to once a week or so in the past.

LinkedIn is one of the few apps I still allow notifications from. In retrospect I probably turned them on in fear of missing an opportunity when looking for a job. I can confidently say I haven’t missed out on any opportunity and the content notifications are mostly terrible. It’s so bad I’m considering following the author’s lead and getting off the platform altogether.

What does the future look like? I can only assume someone at LinkedIn is looking at daily active users and trying to juice that number with app notification spam. In theory LinkedIn is perfect: keeps business and personal separate, a dedicated platform for work-related everything after the Microsoft acquisition. In practice it’s awful. Is there any future where a social media company like LinkedIn could coalesce around something useful instead of chasing metrics (DAUs, etc)?
This "debate" has been part of a dedicated (and sadly currently successful) campaign to dictate the Scottish Government policy.

This isnt a high school debate club where you pick some topic of dispute for fun, this is people in positions of enourmous influence spreading propoganda in order to influence policy that directly harms peoples lives.

Pretending that the people with 14.5M followers, regular opinion columns in national papers etc are being "silenced" is part of the propoganda.

You have to torture the data pretty badly to come to that conclusion.

LinkedIn began as something that actually seemed useful, but it long since turned into Facebook for middle management types for feeding their echo chamber with self help stories and 10 Things All Successful People Do.

I have not come across a single serious recruiter there for years and I closed my account 6 months ago or so. Perhaps it's still useful for freelancers.

Even within a developer role, there is also the business knowledge aspect. Imagine my company is looking to expand into the widget market, and I'm going to lead the IT for the new widget division. I need a team of 10 engineers. Obviously I can look for strong open source developers, mix it up with some promising graduates too, but I'm going to want at least one or two developers who have already worked in the widget space. So what do it do? I go to LinkedIn and look at profiles from the main widget companies, and reach out to some of them

I couldn't agree more. While GraphQL does allow you to be explicit about what you want from your backend, I've yet to see an implementation/solution that gives you back your data efficiently. If anything, the boilerplate actually seems to introduce inefficiency, with some especially inefficient joins.

And when you are explicit about how you want to implement joins etc, you pretty much have to hand code the join anyway, so I don't see the point.

In almost all use cases that I've come across, a standard HTTP endpoint with properly selected parameters works just as well as a GraphQL endpoint, without the overhead of parsing/dealing with GraphQL.

It is not unheard of for drug task forces to augment their official income by robbing drug dealers. I wanna say one of the major cities in CA had a task force that got into trouble for this as did IIRC Newark and Baltimore (pretty sure it was them but not 100%). It's definitely A Thing(TM). There was at least one story of a particularity systemic case that hit HN.
I wonder what the income from the positions are though - IE would they make minimum wage if that was the only position they had?

I can't keep up with what words you should and shouldn't use but "females" in this context does sound a bit odd.

I wouldn't ask how many males do you work with, I would just way "how many men do you work with."

Similarly, I would say "How many women do you work with?"

But maybe that's an issue as well. I don't know. This language policing is mostly a minefield I don't care to navigate. The OP clearly wasn't trying to be offensive or anything like that, so i think (and hope) it's fine.

If you have a lot of apps open, Alt-Tab no longer shows them all, you have to repeatedly keep bashing Tab to get the window to scroll down to the hidden ones - there's no scroll bar and mousewheel doesn't work. For this reason, I've completely stopped using Alt-tab on Windows 10.

Win+Tab is the 'replacement' but is slower and riddled with bugs - one annoying one is that some times it doesn't show the preview of half the apps. Also, the order of the windows is always changing, so you waste time scanning for the app you just used.

You can also type Win+<num> where <num> is 1-9 and that number icon activates from the taskbar. Which is great if you have 10 sticky icons down there, but if like me you don't 'stick' icons to the taskbar, it not as fast (muscle memory etc) or as useful as it could be.

I totally agree with the first part of his video (the main Windows 10 rant). Each iteration of Windows makes it slower for the power user. When the Year of the Linux Desktop is finally upon us, I guess I'll eventually switch. ;)

First of all, thanks for your post! It was an interesting read and I've subscribed to get updates.

Yeah, that was really helpful. I think the argument you make about 'fractionated pools of expertise' is actually the most important. I'm still a bit confused about the differences between "practice" and "decision-making" and their relationship to knowledge (either codified or tacit) but I guess that will now be part of my list of things I want to learn more about.
I really consider getting rid of my car. I bought it a year ago, but it's only ever sat in the driveway, I never use it.

The funny meta-thing about his post, is that the content he feels adds 0 value, is in fact his own post. He is literally making a post about a tool he doesn't use. It's the equivalent of a person making a blog post about a tv series they don't watch but have seen the trailer for; no actual value to add to the discussion about the topic.

This is valueless content.

The internet archive is a universal archive of the internet rather than just what is exposed trough their wayback machine. You are comparing a quantifiable well indexed archive of any online with one which is not quantifiable due to being lost to history. There are similarities between the efforts of the Library at Alexandria and the internet archive which make them comparable, so lets.

>'size' is really not that important. [...] each one a historical artifact.

The uniqueness of content in the internet archive is significantly greater by virtue of there simply being more unique knowledge at this point. Knowledge which would be lost (often intentionally) if not for efforts such as the internet archive, or that of the Library at Alexandria.

The library made copies of the knowledge for the original owners rather than having the only copy. making every copy most likely non-unique. The value in its indexing is immense especially when you realize that useful information is only useful within a context where it can be applied and cannot be valued outside of it.

>Losing the Library at Alexandria would be like ...

This did not happen.

>If the Library continued to exist in its fullest form, we may very well have much more of our history [...] orbital physics.

Imagine if a similar effort to archive exists today and in a few thousand years we would be able to use it, this is how I see the internet archive. The archive and efforts like it are used as a first source of knowledge by wikipedia, students, developers, researchers, anyone needing to verify a business existing prior to the investor call. If there was not an archive of the Feynman lectures I would know nothing about orbital physics now, if the current hosts are lost I am very very glad that the internet archive has a copy.

>If the contents of IA [...] important).

Personally I would like to know if homedepot existed 14 years ago if I wanted to do business with them and they claimed so, or if they tried to censor anything (that case of the US government having honeypot sites archives with code comes to mind). Things which would be lost if not for the specific functionality you are mentioning. Also there are many many other efforts, unlike you seem to state (e.g. archive.is, ipfs, the-eye.eu).

I get what you mean but I didn't say that attention-grabbing platforms are incompatible with (at least some) interesting content.

Also, HN doesn't have many dark patterns (or any?) and I'd not consider it a typical social network like FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc but more like a forum. But even if we consider this place a social network, comparing it to any of the typical social networks is futile IMHO.
I liked the article and tried to look into TLA+, but the documentation is off-putting at every turn. There is no HTML documentation, you need to download a ZIP of a book. Opening the ZIP, it's not just a single PDF, it's a bunch of PDFs (many a page or paragraph long) that the table of contents hyperlinks to. This makes impossible to skim the documentation.

Looking at some examples, it looks like TLA+ uses non-ASCII symbols which are then maybe mapped to ASCII? As such, you need to remember lots of obscure sigils, and I couldn't find a high-level intro of how it works.

It sounds very interesting, but the documentation could be made much more helpful. Lamport comments that "people nowadays don't read, so I made a video course", but I'm not surprised people don't read if reading is this hard. (I personally dislike video courses because you can't skim them and would much prefer HTML documentation).
> turned into Facebook for middle management types

yeah that's a real cancer... LinkedIn can be really useful, but it's flooded with so much corporate onanism that it just becomes painful. Hundreds of corporate climbers competing with each other to show how passionate and proactive they are about IT middle management
