That linked article is actually kind of crap. Contrasting the workflow of downloading Syncthing binary and just executing it vs Dropbox sign up, install & download is a false dichotomy.

Nobody who wants to deal with shell level management of a running program that also needs to communicate with other nodes is part of the target user market for Dropbox, totally different worlds, different feature sets, everything.
This sounds like a positive consequence of that policy.

People move to lower rage regions, they spend less time commuting, the have more money available for other expenses (as rent is not a big chunk of their income).

In the end, this pushes to a decentralized workforce and may reduce the cost of living on highly populated areas (NYC or SF)
I recently did an embedded job where we essentially used a mkrzero as our dev board. It saved us a ton of time on writing the firmware, since we didn’t need to wait for and debug prototypes. And the final schematic took way less time as well, since we could reference the mkrzero for things that might require guessing what the datasheets actually require.

There’s a lot to be said for having a commercial product with multiple revisions to avoid painful guesswork.
> Putting this logic in the client is not feasible. You want to send requests directly to every shady site that shows up in your search results, load their pages in the background, work through network delays and HTTP errors, and parse out the location/format of the favicon files?

I don't see why not. Browsers are constantly dealing with these very issues. It's one of their core competencies.
Nah sorry I don't buy what you're saying. These movements are usually operated by grifters.

In the case of BLM, a small group of self-proclaimed "trained marxists" are lining their pockets to the tune of millions from human misery and seemingly funneling it into democrat PACs.
Even if you grant "only the government has access," I think you still shouldn't be complacent, because what the government considers acceptable can change, and may not agree with what you think is acceptable.

E.g., maybe a govt comes into power that is strongly anti-gay, and punishes you for being pro-gay rights.

Or the opposite.

In general the idea that the government will always be reasonable and should have unlimited surveillance powers is unsound and unappealing.
If the intent is to help the poor then why are we talking about garnishing wages and taking property. If we go this route we’ll shortly be right back here talking about how wage garnishment is inhumane.
Trying to do this now. They aren't budging on the rent, but are pitching a reduction to removal of parking and pet fees. I don't know if this is because they fall out of rent control regulations. Was aiming for a 10% total reduction, but they've effectively hit a 4% reduction in my case.
> It's bizarre that y'all are willing to discount my experience

...Your experience of having a family or network subsidize $100s per month in various costs, which you are using to try and explain anyway the enormous and well-established economic inequality problem in the US.

Why? Can't you be grateful for your privileged position and not punch down?
$250/month sounds about right for me for food+drink for a month, shopping at Jewel in Chicago, just getting whatever I want without caring about the price (based on about $300/month in total spent at Jewel, which includes cleaning supplies, toiletries, etc).

The AirBnB meltdown is how I just got 90% more space for 20% less rent in Amsterdam. The house I just rented didn't actually used to be an AirBnB itself, but it went on the market at the same time there was a huge amount of competition from properties that used to rent out on AirBnB.

Some more information - I found this YouTube channel which has videos of various hacks of Kongregate games. I don't think I ever saw it as a child but it brings back memories of various things we would do.

Here is a tool called Ragnarok that let's you edit values based on their name. You would open the reversed actionscript and could play with things based on the variable name:

https://youtu.be/B4GhD8Ets8U

Editing save files was big. The files were in a proprietary format called sol. All of the videos I see on that channel are just "download this save file with a completed game state", but there were tools for editing the save file yourself. Some games introduced obfuscation of data in the save file and the cat and mouse game began.

Oh, here's an example! Apparently the sol editor was a feature of Ragnarok, and maybe the disassembler too:

https://youtu.be/wLaMZoqI-_Q

Here's a video of Niflheim, seems similar to Ragnarok. Maybe Ragnarok replaced it as a better tool?

https://youtu.be/fgqHarxwv64

Other than that it seems most of the cheats on that youtube channel are using cheat engine. While I definitely used that, I don't recall it being part of my go-to arsenal.
My point is there's a heavy cost to society in the form of extensive copyright protections. Are the relatively few blockbuster movies worth compromising everything else? For example, myself and my buddies cannot create a new Star Trek episode, or a mashup of existing ST footage. I cannot create music that samples other tunes. Etc.
Touchscreens are taking over General aviation. Everyone has an opinion on it. It’s really nice in smooth conditions and terrible in any kind of thermal, chop, or turbulence as far as I’m concerned.
Of course I understand that there was a shortage of N95 masks but much of the government isn't setup to buy enormous quantities of stuff in a few days in a market where there a lot of bad actors.

So if I were to, hypothetically, call for Nancy Pelosi to be hanged in public or shot, would it, or would it not be "hate speech" in your opinion? Should it or should it not be allowed? Is it OK, for example, to chant "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon"? Is it OK to suggest to "kill all cops"? Is it OK to say that "all cops are bastards"?

Because it would literally take you seconds to find examples of such things on FB or twitter.
But the only reason the land is expensive is because it can draw this indefinite rent stream!

If you couldn't draw a rent from just owning land, the purchase price would go to essentially zero.
Another factor to consider is that many people move to a big city for work and higher earnings.

There will probably be some shift back, but I think after all this remote work will be a more permanent option for a lot of roles.

If you're able to get the same higher salary, but remotely somewhere with a more affordable cost of living, and aren't in that area specifically for in-person amenities, why wouldn't you?

Ask HN: Management ≠ Leadership.. Thoughts?
Colleagues, it strikes me that despite our technical mastery of our tools and technologies, we utterly fail at organizing and creating functional corporations.

We all know that the systems we design are only as good as the organizations we build to design them yet we keep repeating tired management tropes that ought to be retired and relegated to the /dev/null of history.

It occurred to me recently that the main difference between leadership and management is that one in proactive whereas the other is reactive by its inherent nature and we are setting ourselves up for constant backwardness by our reliance on the latter in the absence of the former.

Your thoughts are very gladly welcome, I'm sure there are a variety of opinions on the subject but I'd be interested to hear from a software professional's point of view than a management professional's as the former are rarely heard in this realm.
Great counterpoints!

No they don't. There are tons of young children who play these games and don't have phones.

Many municipalities and waste management companies already have recycling programs along with their trash pickup service.
I agree. Before it was a more or less united America vs the commies and the commies were bad and we weren’t perfect and we had some housecleaning to do...

Now it’s all narrative and the focus is pannational. Not much has a local flavor. It’s not what’s good for Canadians or Ghanaians, it’s what can Canadians and Ghanaians do to make the world better (despite there being lots of things Ghanaians and Canadians could be doing in their own backyards to improve the life of their own downtrodden.

It feels like a recast comintern.
Thank you for writing this comment, last couple of weeks/months haven’t been easy by any stretch. I’m glad I saw your comment before clicking on TFA, it could have very well sent me down a dark spiral.
It still seems trivial to me. Parse all meta icon tags, prefer one that matches exact client resolution of current display (don't even have to download the icons - the sizes are defined as part of the meta tag), else use the largest-resolution one, else in desperate bid try site/favicon.ico, otherwise give up.

Really shouldn't be complicated enough to need a special service to handle "edge cases".

Another comment mentions web manifest - I guess try those first before meta tags, or whatever order the standard says to use. I mean, we're talking a web browser here, it's designed to do these kind of tasks.

Certifiably “F”Ine
$174k is bonkers for that RV. It's a converted Mercedes Sprinter, which has a list price of about $60k (4x4, diesel, long wheelbase, high roof, with a reasonable set of options).

I find it hard to believe Winneago adds $110k of value to the van.

FWIW, if you want a camper van (and not a full RV), Metris conversions are a solid option. PeaceVans (Seattle) has two nice builds - a weekender (bed, pop top, no kitchen nor bath) or a camper (bed, pop top, kitchen, no bath). About $65k for the former and $85 for the latter. Using one of these (or a 40-year old VW Westfalia) limits you to campsites with toilets (or roughing it a bit). The Weekender build is available through your local M-B dealer (via an official up-fitter arrangement).

I’ve flown birds with steam gauges and birds with glass cockpits. I’ve got about 800 hours in my current glass aircraft.

Here’s a photo that I didn’t take:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b7/75/6f/b7756f8346efff30b2f6...

You can see the MFD’s have buttons on the top and bottom used to navigate menus and sub menus. I found that after 100 or so hours I didn’t even have to read a menu’s title but rather through muscle memory knew the “keystrokes” required to get to it, even if it’s 3 or 4 sub-menus deep.

All of our ordnance and critical aircraft systems (starting engines, putting out fires, arming weapons, hyds, etc) are controlled by the little square buttons you see on the left and right of the MFD’s and the controls themselves contain shortcut buttons to allow us to perform common tasks without taking hands off the controls.

Glass is king but if something is coming off my aircraft or if I’m starting or shutting down an engine I want to touch a physical button.

Coming from a software background, I’m fairly impressed with the UX of the cockpit.
I have a hard time understanding the problem.

The favicon is acquired from DDG servers for the result you've just retrieved from DDG servers.

How is this leaking anything? What additional privacy would you gain from getting the favicons from the domains directly of search results delivered by DDG?

I don’t mean to squash your point, but I don’t believe a lot of those bits matter on a turbine vs piston. But you are absolutely correct, any plane with a FADEC or equivalent allows for the pilot to dedicate brain power to other things and it’sa great luxury, if not safety device (because the pilot can focus elsewhere).
I also gave up my coffee routine because of COVID. When I got it I was worried I'd end up on a ventilator having trouble breathing AND going through coffee withdrawal. I managed to suffer my few days of withdrawal before I landed in the hospital. In the end I was lucky and avoided both ventilation and bad hospital coffee. The "near life" experience caused me to stop consuming other things as well, mostly for ecological reasons.
How you self-sabotage daily
• Repeat the same actions.

Good point, I dont know who came with that term but its in the Indian Constitution, one of the duties of the govt is to help people who are in the Backward class

The irony is that there are some upper caste people fighting to classify their class as backward because they have quotas in govt jobs/education.
> Turns out hate is a large part of engagement.

My personal experience makes me agree with you. I would even take it further. Hate, or "punching down" is the easiest way to drive engagement. Is anyone aware of any research that may confirm or deny this? My search skills have failed me.
Isn't that what access is?
Sorry if you feel like myself and others are invalidating you’re experience.

My sole intent is this: you claim that such a wage is livable on its own today. Your evidence for that claim is that you yourself had a similar wage, over a decade ago, with additional family support, and other benefits (eg no healthcare costs).

The two are not the same. Not even close. By by claiming they are, you invalidate the experience of everyone else who actually had to face the struggle of living on a low-wage without any of the benefits you did.

I myself ate from a homeless shelter a handful of times in college just because I couldn’t afford food at that moment in time. That is not an exaggeration. So forgive me if it feels like I’m invalidating your experience - I’m sure you struggled as well, but that doesn’t give you the right to speak for the experience of something you’ve clearly never experienced for yourself.

A $10 wage is not a livable wage in the vast majority of the country today. It’s a survivable wage at best, but not in every city.

The problem in this case is allowing the executive to draft “guidelines” with the force of law.

> You would need to make real, deep friendships with high status individuals over a long period of time

This is backwards - in order to see how people treat people based on their profession, you can't make friends with them... because then they aren't judging you on your profession any more, are they?

If the exact same person is treated in two different ways, and absolutely nothing changes except their profession, then the profession is the only possible cause of the difference.

You try it! Go into an environment presenting with one profession, then another, and see the difference! Book into a hotel describing yourself as 'doctor' and you'll get treated differently than when you book in as 'mister'. You can try it yourself and it's plainly obvious that society sees a difference.

> it's not truly high status

I think you're possibly lost track of where this started - I said A was lower than the B. You're trying to argue with me that B isn't the highest, but I never said that - you're arguing against something nobody said in the first place.
Good on you perhaps for injecting a lighter note, but I'd personally rather that these very upsetting events retain their gravity and perhaps shock us into action.

Case in point the Australian bush fires earlier this year.

Half a billion or so dead animals and millions of hectares of habitat burned to a crisp.

But cue happy news stories about someone rescuing a koala and feeding it milk from a baby bottle - something that makes absolutely not one jot of difference to the massive death and devastation contributed to by our (humans) shitty environmental stewarding.

That statement is incorrect. It would be perfectly certifiable with additional pilot training. The killer feature was the theory that MCAS would allow airlines to get away without additional training. Practice proved to be quite different, as is so often the case.

1 gallon/month is 1 scoop of ice cream each on 5 or 6 days per week, or on average about 12–15 grams of sugar per day. It’s about the same amount of sugar you’d get from drinking one 12 oz can of soda every third day.

If it’s the only sugary treat someone is eating, that’s still well below average for people in most industrialized countries. If combined with soda/candy/cake/cookies/cocktails/... then probably not such a good idea.
You've really only got to fire one plug one time to start a car that's in a fundamentally startable condition. A battery that doesn't have enough juice to turn a starter motor (which requires a lot of amps) often still has more than enough to fire the plugs if you can turn the engine over some other way.

Several times in my life I've had to roll-start a (manual) car with some regularity[0]. You don't have to getting it going to even a brisk walking pace if it's a small (< 2 liter) four cylinder engine. If you clutch out and back in pretty quickly, it'll start if it'll fire. If the battery is too dead to run the ECU and/or plugs, you're pretty well dicked unless you can find somebody to jump you.

Now, neither of these applies to an F-150, since you can't get one with either a manual or a four-banger, but practical experience indicates that for at least some cars, it's got to take less than 9000 joules to start the engine.

In rough numbers, if you have a 1500 kg car moving 1 m/sec, you've only got 750 joules to work with. In all cases, I wasn't trying to do this in the dead of winter.

[0] On 2 different cars:

1) I left the headlights on two days in a row and discharged the battery pretty deeply. I got it back after a couple days of driving my short commute.

2) I had an intermittently bad connection between the battery lug and the wire running to the starter motor. I finally figured it out after it did it at night and I could see the sparks with the hood open. That was after 2 or 3 months of bump-starting the car at least once a week :-)
