Sometimes these apps are necessary though. For instance you can only turn the Google Assistant button off on Sony headphones in their app, there's an additional (better!) noise reduction mode only available through the app, firmware updates are through the app, etc. (I get the firmware updates because I'm vaguely hoping that one day they will fix the hilariously annoying flaw that they turning them on always activates noise cancellation.)
Yes, sure. Though don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Most of this lifestyle inspiration genre is about doing things only single and debt-free people can do. I don't think that means the advice is irrelevant for people with responsibilities. I think you could take the same content and re-work it for a different audience and it would remain just as valid.

For example, many people with kids in cities really struggle with schools, affordable housing and childcare. Cultivating more financial and location independence can help solve all those issues by moving away from expensive areas where there's extreme competition for good schools and where you have no extended family support. And many people with families have their children on a very narrow program preparing them for a certain type of urban success. But I have a young nephew who lives in the countryside being raised by two former high-powered professionals turned farmers. There are other options and ways of life out there but it takes some "inverted thinking" to find them.
By default though, MongoDB will only listen on localhost and I believe it'll show you a big warning on boot up if you don't have authentication configured. They used to listen on 0.0.0.0 by default but that was fixed many years ago.

And this issue doesn't just affect MongoDB - imo since the "webscale" days it's been a favorite to knock on but the public exposure of data happens across many technologies. Here's a comparison with a few others:

That's pretty much the problem, but I should also add that this doesn't mean we shouldn't do reforestation. It just means there isn't a single solution to a complex global problem (honestly, is anyone surprised? Why the fuck are people suggesting single solution answers to complex nuanced problems?).

We should be making larger forests, fill them with birds and animals (this is actually a difficult part if you look at huge man made forests like the one in China). But we should also use man made sequestration. We should also redevelop coral reefs around the world. Etc. A lot of people seem to be forgetting the heart of the problem. There is too much greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It doesn't matter how we remove them, just that we do (assuming the removal process doesn't do more harm, of course). Doesn't matter if it is natural (i.e. forests & reefs) or artificial (CCS), it needs to be removed from the atmosphere (and ocean). There's no "one size fits all" solution.
This comment is great in every way I can think of.
As I wrote on an earlier post on this topic, remote work is going to be a huge benefits cut for the top end of tech employees, and a massive cost-cutting measure for their employers.

I could set up my place to be both a home and an office, but it wouldn't be cheap (for starters, I'd want to rent something bigger). Considering taxes, this would be equivalent to at least a 20k pay cut due to costs being offloaded on me.

I totally see why employers love that.

Additionally, FAANG and startup tech offices often serve as more than an office - they tend to have a lot of shared amenities that are just not practical to have at home. I don't use a 3D printer often enough to own one, but there is one in the office. Gym? Office, and it has more than a pull-up bar. Post office? Office. Inbound packages? Post office. In the office. Grocery shopping? Happens much less often if you eat out. In the office. Why would I want to eat out of my own fridge and pantry (and have to prepare the food myself) when I can grab tasty food prepared by people who actually know what they're doing?

The benefit isn't just that the stuff is free; the benefit is that it's all right there. It's an incredible time saver.

If the office is just an office with no amenities, you have a sucky commute, or you have a family, then I can see why WfH would be attractive. However, if you're young and single, have a nice office, this is going to suck.
Kind of a theoretical question since you cannot observe grit. Only the surgeon can know if he has grit based on his own self-reflection.

> or one that practices 6 hours a day even though they know they kinda suck?

Again, we know that practice does not make perfect, but rather perfect practice makes perfect. Just because he practiced for six hours a day doesn't mean he practiced well.
And since someone from Garmin is definitely reading this: Dear Garmin: we really want you to use open protocols so we don't have to install garbage software on our phones. I have an old "don't care" iphone that I use for software that I absolutely must install just to use a device. This is inconvenient and means I can only use certain functionality for that device at home. More often, I just pass on devices that need custom mobile software in order to work.

Open your protocols and you'll get lots of nerdy cheerleaders for your devices.
XgeneCloud: writing APIs will never be simpler.

With just one command you can generate REST/Graphql on 5 different types of databases instantly.

The added benefit of these is that you can directly capture carbon at its source. This is good since we know that emissions aren't homogeneous dispersed.

What non consensus and correct views are you thinking of?

Thanks for bringing up variance -- this is a concept I've since learned about and have added a small update to the blog post about.

I understand your point about the `children_as_parents` example, I've added another update to point out that the mutability of the vector makes it problematic to have the `children` variable.
Also set `CLICOLOR=1`. See https://bixense.com/clicolors/

A fair number of tools support it.

That makes any number of assumptions about the API layer, what "key based auth" is used and what data the database has.

For example I'd probably trust MySQL or PostgreSQL key validation more than what some random dev has coded in a private repo (more eyes on the code and probably better developers looking at it).

Auth is something that a lot of devs still do not implement properly and even popular libs for it like passport for node and others (including default configs for most JWT libs) have had very bad security issues.

If your minimum permissions map well onto the databases permission model then it's better to not have a layer in between. Proper db permissions and a using TLS/SSH as a transport is probably better.
Good question, that's up for for the developers, devops and sysadmins to decide. If they don't want it, then they dont. If they do, then they have to be smart with it.
The budget is quite large for the task. There's little reason to invest in high specs for your workload unless you see yourself going deep into VMs. If buying new, prebuilts basically offer a premium for convenience, and usually with less repairability(proprietary boards and cases tend to resist modification). Used and refurbished prebuilts can be fine with a fresh power supply.

To set a performance target, I suggest starting with a search for midrange gaming builds, then reduce the graphics spec and add more emphasis on memory size, fast storage, and core counts.

Anything leftover in the budget is worth considering for peripherals(monitor and keyboard), ergonomics(monitor stands or arm mounts, chairs, etc., mice alternatives that you can swap to to reduce RSI, macro keypads to ease boilerplate data entry), and subscription services.
I listened to the first 10 minutes of the audio, half of it is promotion to his other giggs, 40% is just fluff and only one or two sentences are actually useful. I stopped listening after that and skimmed through the questions, but didn't see any "wow" question that I never asked myself before.
The Hindenberg blew up because there was a bomb on board. No aircraft design is noted for resistance to onboard explosives.

Furthermore, the flames seen in the film were from kerosine fuel. All the hydrogen released went up, up, up. It is quite difficult to ignite hydrogen at atmospheric pressure; it requires oxygen mixed in a narrow range of partial pressures.

So, no, safety of H2 fuel is not a problem.

One interesting collection of science fiction short stories from the early seventies is "Moderan" by David R. Bunch. After many years out of print, it was recently re-published in the NYRB Classics series: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38732324-moderan Very surreal—and sometimes disturbing—tales about cyborgs trying to leave their humanity behind.

Another masterful writer of surreal science fiction stories was R. A. Lafferty https://www.amazon.com/Best-R-Lafferty/dp/1473213444/
This is nonsense. If they want to be net zero emissions, they can use synthetic jet fuel produced from sea water. The US Navy has studied the topic and concluded they can produce such fuel at a cost of $3-6 per gallon [1].

Conservatives are making this all about them. Reality is more nuanced than that. For example, as a communist, I have to be extremely discerning about the context under which I share my political views. Sixty-plus years of American anti-communist propaganda has a pretty damning effect. And that type of political suppression, conservatives generally agree with. So let's not pretend like the broader Right consists of champions of liberty or anything.
It's been done, and it rarely works for anything non-trivial.
I asked AWS to set a limit on my spending. They said that they did not want to do that "not to break my business".

I want them to - I do not care if my site is offline vs. having to pay a huge bill. That should be a choice.

So I moved away from AWS. It is crazy that companies agree to such a racket (not the pricing - but the fact that you cannot set a limit).

I considered to use a virtual card with a limit on it - they could not grab more than the limit and just sue me across the pound or remove my account. But I refuse to play these games with a company who does not give a shit about billing.
How the Russians penetrated Illinois election computers
I think there is a major difference between "regulation" (e.g. CFAA, DMCA, SESTA) and antitrust, which is that monopolies are slow and stable and hard to get rid of in any other way.

Chrome defeated Internet Explorer by leveraging a different monopoly. That meant it had copious funding without needing to make money itself and it got a huge amount of free marketing by being featured on google.com. But just trading one monopoly for another isn't competition. Internet Explorer was a monoculture controlled by a single player, now Chrome is, is that better? Was Microsoft going to add features that allow the platform-independent web to compete with Win32 apps? Is Google going to add features that protect privacy and allow users to keep their data on their own machines? Are they going to care about not making things so complicated that no upstart can create a third party browser ever again? Getting away from that requires actual competition.

Meanwhile the actual antitrust enforcement actions we've seen have largely been stupid garbage (pretty much as expected), but they've also been painful and expensive stupid garbage, which gives the targets an incentive to avoid attracting their attention. And, most importantly, antitrust pretty much by definition only applies to really huge companies. If all they did was show up at the doorstep of any company with more than 50% market share and beat them with clubs until they're weak enough that someone else can take market share from them, that's still doing something useful, and most importantly it isn't doing the most dangerous thing regulation can do, which is the opposite of that -- impact smaller more fragile competitors and upstarts more than huge incumbents, which destroys competition.
On a Windows that would render at 125% or 150% scaling. 1080p on a 13" screen is actually quite small. Even on my 15" laptop with a 4K screen at 200%, which is equivalent to 1080p at 100% in terms of scale, I find everything feels tiny.

Fractional scaling does not have to be only for super high res screens.
They're a company that makes a lot of decisions from the viewpoint of participants in a high-trust society like Japan. Many times, those viewpoints don't translate well to other markets.

Is this a form of mechanomorphism, where we try to reason about how human cognition might work by drawing an analogy from how computers work (specifically, overfitting in ANNs) and try to apply it back to humans?

In Brazil, the tax rate also changes city by city, and the price shown to the customer already includes that tax (together with the state tax and the federal tax).
Worlds Apart: Sci-Fi Visions of Altered Reality (2019)
In two decades I’ve had a handful interactions and witnessed quite a few more in Seattle - zero malfeasance observed. Most people who are happy with the police will never be loud about it, but they do vote.
Any levels of fatality is relative to how overwhelmed the health care system is, and the access to care that people have. We’ve seen it as high as 15% already in some places. This is a GLOBAL pandemic; any spread within your community can eventually make it to the Amazon in Brazil where it’s ravishing local communities that don’t have access to modern hospitals.

Your statement seems to emphasize that the focus should be on the youth, who are also dying of this disease. But the careless nature of dismissing the fatality rate of those over 60 or with co-morbidities is really unbelievable. So my parents, who are otherwise healthy and I expect to live for DECADES more should die now so you can go out and see your friends? Or those who are young with diabetes that might otherwise have an entire full life? The level of selfishness of such a statement is just off the charts.

If you were to kill just ONE person and be caught you’d be in jail for many years, purposefully (murder) or by accident (manslaughter). Yet passing a disease that has brought the world to its knees around is somehow ok? When did those who get affected by your actions get to weight in and vote on this? Or do you feel you can just unilaterally decide that it’s fine for others to die _unnecessarily_? And for businesses to suffer because the disease keeps going and others DO care about their own safety and those around them?

Furthermore, the CDC just acknowledged it may be as high as 1/3 of those recovered with persistent issues [1]. Even if it were 1-3%, why is that ok for that 1-3%? 1% of the global population is approximately 80 million people. How many of these would have solved climate change, found a cure for covid, or otherwise positively impacted the planet? That’s worth not just saying indoors collectively for a short period to prevent? It keeps going because people DON’T do what’s in the best interest for all of society, or even their future self.

You’re basing your assumptions on an extremely short time span of data, but we know that many viruses can strike far later in life with devastating consequences, or a lifetime of flare ups. We simply don’t know, but Dr. Fauci has repeatedly warned people about such a possibility. How can you calculate such risks when they’re unknown?

Peanuts are something that can be easily regulated and limited to those who are allergic. They pose no global threat, and don’t hop between people. Those allergic can also carry epipens. There is no epipen for covid (yet?). Until then we have an unusually highly contagious virus that spreads from a very high percentage of asymptotic carriers.

Already in the US over 1/3 of Americans who died in WWII have died since March that largely wouldn’t have otherwise [2]. It’s July. Please reconsider your actions.

OP here. Thanks. I'll check those out. I tried to cast a fairly wide net here although I'm probably less into surreal.
Quite a few on this list are sci-fi legends but I'm most glad to see the tail-end: both Maria Machado and Jemisin are amazing voices who write thick and lush prose, something that sci-fi lacks sometimes. Charlie Jane Anders, meanwhile, is delightfully off-beat and every novel of hers was a pleasant time so far.

In general, I'd recommend to not stick to the oldies. Read a bit of the classics and then venture into the modern stuff, there's a lot to like there. Martha Wells, Matt Wallace, T. Kingfisher, K.B. Wagers, to name a few.
Unfortunately it's rarely that simple. If you look at the currently exposed MongoDB instances you'll see that most of them are in the cloud without any obvious attribution. You could email the cloud providers and see if they will reach out to the end-user but chances are they already know about it. Here's an article I wrote on that subject, although it was related to industrial control systems:

I really hate long-form articles that feel the need to explain the weather, someone's clothing, or their family member's eating habits.

COME TO THE DAMN POINT. This is the Internet. 99% of content is garbage, and I'm not interested reading through pointless content-free filler that could be generated by a neural network just to find out if your article somewhere contains useful/interesting information.
A great deal of CO2 is absorbed by oceans, which is a moderating factor, but it has its capacity limit. If we tried to 'harvest' the CO2, the oceans may be a more valuable target. Marine plants process it similarly to land plants.

Sure photosythesis needs external energy to work, no one is suggesting a perpetuum mobile. The question is what valuable (to humans) product could be at the end of the processing chain, and how would this balance with the costs? The next question is how to make the process more efficient to drive the costs down?

If plants' process is the most efficient, perhaps it should be delegated to plants, then the humans need to find ways to supply the supporting elements, like soil, light, water.

Agreed. A few years back when moving my personal domain from a failing provider I considered running my own email server on Digital Ocean; they had some great tutorials on setting up various parts and I followed a HN recommended tutorial. I was already happy setting up LAMP with a nginx reverse proxy, how hard could it be - I got it setup, and realised two things: Keeping everything running without getting compromised was going to take way too long compared to the benefit. Two, Google and MS wouldn't accept my email - not even to myself when I whitelisted it - it's a crap shoot.

Email has serious economies of scale and keeping such a critical system operational, on a small scale, was going to be some deal of stress.

So I just went with my hosting providers Plesk-fronted setup, which matches your para.3 description.
