These saw brake systems aren’t on “modern table saws”. This system is branded and patented and only exists on Saw Stop table saws (no affiliation). If I recall correctly, the inventor took the tech to the big saw makers when it was first in invented and was turned away, because of some combination of he wanted too much money and they didn’t want the liability of marketing a “safe” table saw. So he started his own company.

The tech is truly something incredible. It uses a disposable cartridge with a shotgun-sized charge to ram an aluminum matrix into the bottom of the spinning blade if it detects current (oily skin touching the blade closes the circuit). It stops it in thousandths of a second and your left with a nick instead of maimed. It ruins the blade and the cartridge. You’re out ~$150 if you trigger it. Small price to pay for keeping a finger.
They'll get there on this. The trajectory is pretty clear, I think.
I was doing this in 2015 via Thunderbolt 2. The transition to USB-C combined power and data at the cost of MagSafe and being able to trust that if a cord plugs in to the socket it will work. I don’t think that was a fair trade.

I've been one Macs for 6+ years and this is a new one for me, thanks!
Software used to be, "I have a cool idea for a program / app that will solve the business issue x. I'll go work on it." Then the dev spends a few weeks working on it and has a product to show. If it is worthwhile, the dev will be able to clean it up and make it production ready. This is where the woodworking idea comes in. You create. You have ownership and accountability.

Today, that is almost completely gone. Now it's Business has been forced to design a system for you that doesn't make a whole lot of sense and a bunch of stuff wasn't considered. If you push back, you'll get dragged into endless meetings where you try to explain things to people who have zero training on what you are explaining. You'll get pushback because their egos will get involved and eventually overruled on most of it. After that, you will get a week to work on a sliver on it, then next week you'll work on a different sliver but often whatever business decides, not what makes sense. You'll also get a bunch of processes to weigh you down because they hired a bunch of goobers cheap that keep breaking stuff. When this doesn't work, it will be your fault.
The saying, "American as apple pie," was never meant to imply Americans invented apple pie (earlier Americans knew it had long existed in Europe for example), rather, that Americans have had a traditional fondness for it, it became a part of our culture. That level of fondness doesn't exist across all cultures. When people would say that, what they meant is it represented a staple of American culture, something Americans commonly liked (with the saying typically being projected at another object that Americans had a fondness for, to express that sense).
That’s true. Outside Silicon Valley there’s probably not as much non-web dev work. I still think it’s out there. Banks exist everywhere and my brother has worked in a European bank for a long time. FAANGS also have offices all over Europe (London, Paris, and Berlin) doing non-web work and even before COVID if you were senior and talented enough remote work was an option. Now remote work for all companies has simplified drastically.

I have worked on mobile OS, PC software development, web, machine learning problems, and now VR. I’m not particularly worried about getting pigeonholed because any company I’d want to work for can recognize the value of a generalist - I’m not going to solve hard domain-specific problems but I can architect the SW and plug all the pieces together and dive into domain-specific problems when necessary. To be fair though I’ve heard this concern from other people who want to move back to Europe, but the framing was different - how do I explain to them what I do in a recognizable manner.
This model is already being built: check out platforms like the internet computer & holochain for example.
The answer to your question is in the OP article. If you forgot, reread it.
The idea of carbon markets as such is well worth discussing.

Of particular interest is who 'we' are and who is controlling 'we'.

The act of carrying out decisions is substantially less concerning than who is managing the decisions.
I would argue that there isn’t a framework in existence that is actually built to cleanly scale to the size of any of those companies. If there is one that claims to, it is probably lying.
To solve point NR2 you can use https://rectangleapp.com/ and bind it to the keyboard shortcuts you are used to. FYI you can also switch the location of the command, option and alt keys if you prefer the windows layout in: System Preferences > keyboard > modifier keys
> I stay away from web development because it's a big mess of sloppy languages and tools.

You can somewhat get around that if you work mostly on back-end stuff. For the front-end, things might change once wasm becomes more viable.
One thing to keep in mind here is that there is no absolute security. There is only security against some specific threat.

If the threat is "someone is specifically targeting you", then changing the port is indeed useless. However, if the threat is "a botnet trying to abuse a new openSSH vulnerability", then changing the port does help. Because no bot takes the time to scan tens of thousands of ports in that case when there are millions of other hosts around who listen on port 22.

By the way, when I lived in a dormitory, it was actually best practice to hide your valuables from view if you lived in a ground floor apartment. Literally obscuring the thing, but thieves only broke into the apartment where they knew there's something to steal quickly. A napkin over your wallet might not help in a bar but it did help in this case.
> I have an expansion set up in my text editor that spits out `Rails.logger.debug("[jbootz] ")` and then I just do `tail -f log/development.log | grep jbootz`. I also have iTerm set up to highlight any lines containing "jbootz", so it stands out when it's mingled in with other output. (I just picked "jbootz" as it's a unique string)

... that seems unnecessarily complicated compared to using byebug, or hell, the RubyMine debugger.

The man jokes openly about disregarding the American Constitution regarding presidents serving at most two terms, and it doesn't sound like a joke.

So, yes, at this point openly donating to him is donating against traditional America. I can see why people wouldn't be accepting of that.
Wood working, classic automotive restoration and several other hobbies tend to scratch a similar creative itch that software does. They each have a element of perfection above perfection, unlike software success in a project is easy, but similar to software mastery is difficult.
To be fair we could do nearly all of that before without much of an issue.

Now we inherit the overhead of the software, demand pricing, apps that are made of shit and string (uber eats I'm looking at you) and zero customer service...
I was surprised that comment went through a production of dozens of people and no one saw a problem with it.
IDK how old are you, I am 42 and I am better off, health-wise, than I was at 38. Those are the changes:

1) Just like you, I started to work out, but I have one more recommendation: a weighted vest. An absolutely great tool for plankings, push-ups etc. If you want your body core to get really tough, weighted vest is a great tool.

2) This, plus intermittent fasting. Got my blood pressure back into the normal range, I am no longer on medication which I took for 17 years, hooray.

3) See 2), it seems that eating/fasting time matters a lot, not just total calories. Constant snacking is probably really bad for us. (The pancreas is forced to produce too much insulin too often).

4) Absence of civilizational noise is definitely something that has healing effects.

To this, I would add

5) Some supplementation is useful, if not outright necessary. Lots of people are vitamin D deficient, for example. 4000 IU a day should help a lot. It seems that vitamin D is even more important for us than we thought. (Specifically, D3).

6) People who like the entire anti-aging and longevity field, can horse around with things like resveratrol and NMN, or perhaps senolytics like fisetin. I like to do that, so far the only visible difference is that my eyesight got a lot better (unexpectedly so for someone who looks into screens all day long). But there is a risk that you are wasting money on "producing expensive urine".
I dunno what the technical reasons for this are, but having a cable snaking around the area where my mouse is, is quite annoying (on any laptop)

> There was one big light-bulb moment for me.

Mine was seeing the AI / algorithm visualized as 3 humans trying to figure out what the best plan of action was to make you engage.

That really made me think about how it's another group of humans out there trying to take time away from me for the sole purpose of making their company more money. That's a much stronger mental image than a vague algorithm that we all knew existed.

That concept of the documentary alone made it worth watching.
Multi-day take home projects? Seriously? Just say no that unless they are going to compensate you at contractor rate of at least $120/hour. That is a ridiculous ask, and if all engineers just said no and walked away, they would get what they deserved, only the grovelers willing to say yes.

The all day interview thing is not new. When I finally landed an onsite interview with Bell Labs in 1984, it ran from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with a break for lunch (that they provided). Every position I have interviewed with since then has been an all day affair.

Remember, interviewing is partly for skills, but mostly for attitude and personality. Are you going to fit with the team?

I pulled in a candidate back in 2000 that was clearly qualified for the job as far as skills, but in the interview, his demeanor was abrasive. He was so clearly superior to anyone else on the team, how could we have the temerity to question his abilities? It spiraled out of control and I had to escort him out of the interview after only two hours. It was awful.
You keep saying this like it's an objective fact. It's not.

Running a bandsaw 20 times might sound to you like the epitome of boredom. To me, a (poor) woodworking perfectionist (i.e. I'm always trying to make my work furniture-grade, but usually failing) it's an exercise in constant concentration and error-correction. To a master, it can be the epitome of mindfulness.

> most of it too is just trivial oil and tire changes or changing a basic part of two

I bet that it feels better and more rewarding than updating a dependency and spending 2 days fixing all the errors caused by updating, especially knowing that you will have to do the same thing in a few months.

There is something that feels good when you create/fix/improve a real object compared to a software one.

I was thinking about doing a kickstarter to rent a boat and seed the oceans with iron:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_fertilization

This is illegal under the U.N. law of the Sea but thanks to Don Rumsfeld the U.S. is not a party to that law so if you only use ports in the U.S., Chile and a handful of other countries, nobody will stop you.

I wound up talking to some experts in the field and was told with no uncertainty not to try it, although I think the scientific arguments weren't entirely convincing.

---

The gist of it is this. If you want to make people pay money to solve the global warming problems you run straight into

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem

if you build some system for shuffling money (e.g. "Carbon Credits") around you now have a new problem that people are going to steal it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron

If you can create a fully economically competitive energy source or carbon removal system people will use it and our great-grandchildren will remember that we solved this problem.

If we screw around with other things, the "way out" is that the 8 billion population ends up under 2 billion. CO2 emissions will not be a problem then, but our great-grandchildren will assign a death count that is roughly Hitler plus Stalin squared to our current political order.

I don't know what political/economic system they'll end up with but the Roman experience would lead us to think that they'll reject everything our civilization believes in.
Security is a multi-dimensional problem. Moving the port helps reduce noise, that is, you get a higher signal to noise ratio. Other dimensions include using ssh keys instead of passwords, disabling root logins, adding fail2ban, and 2fa. Using some or all of these modifications from the defaults will improve ssh security.
What do u use outside Rails and how was your experience? It's a bit embarrassing I only did Rails with Ruby.
> I need to work until I get to retirement

That is true by definition. No matter how much or how little you make, it remains true. The question is: when do you get to retirement? Making a lot of money makes it a lot sooner.
I haven't even written a single line of 'code' at work in maybe six months now, everything is done in xml configuration files, a bit of sql here and there. Last job before this was more or less the same. Since I was a kid all I wanted to do was be a programmer, I don't really even feel like an engineer or a programmer anymore I just feel like I 'use' a computer all day it's weird. It's like a totally different part of the brain. I think I actually hate computers but I've no idea how to do anything else.
I think the grass is always greener on the other side. I have a BSc and MSc in biomechanical engineering, was never able to get / keep a job in engineering for long but what I did do sucked—way more rote activities and way less actual problem solving than I was promised. Fell back to software development, my pay has gone up considerably but it is still a lot of rote activities and less problem solving than promised. So far the most interesting stuff I've gotten to do was when working either alone or on a very tiny team (2-3 people)—then you still have a ton of boring work, but you also get some interesting stuff too.

As with any "mental" job, I find I work best when I balance it with a "physical" job on the evenings / weekends, such as renovating my house or basically doing anything with my hands. When physical jobs were my paycheque, all I wanted to do were mental things in the down time, now its flipped. Neither is necessarily better or worse, though I do enjoy the flexibility that software allows / requires.
The problem with power 9, and likely 10, is that it was far too expensive and hard to get. Even two years after it was announced you had to talk to IBM salespeople, and the server was about 50% more expensive than an equivalent Intel. For a while they had pcie4 before anyone, and a strong backing from Nvidia. Those are both gone.

Kandel's obvious expertise on the functioning of the brain puts him in precisely the right position to give an assessment of how realistic Freud's models in describing what happens in the brain. More specifically, his expertise on the neurology of memory is directly connected to a lot of what Freud hypothesized about how memory functions. In fact, in his 99 paper on psychoanalysis and neuroscience
https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/ajp.156.4....
Kandel cites specific neuroscientific mechanisms that connect with mechanisms in the paychoanalytic model. This is very much his area of expertise and far more relevant than Feynman shooting from the hip about something he does not really know much about. Kandel is an expert in neuroscience and from the literature very well versed in psychoanalytic work, and makes actual arguments salient to both disciplines to justify his opinions, as can be seen in the above article.

In general, a lot of work has been done in this area, particularly by Solms

The only parts of Servo that could realistically be ported into Gecko within the next couple of years have already been ported. Servo's DOM engine would be the last major remaining piece, but that would be a very, very long-term project.

According to your link, developer tools and internal tooling/infrastructure teams took a cut. The effects will mostly be indirect.
The fact that someone bothered to scan the entire range (or find your port at random) might indicate that they're specifically targeting you, and just being aware of that is an upside.
I bought a dock from OWC and I cannot connect the power cable and the HDMI cable at the same time. My mouse stops responding and everything heats up like it's nobody's business.

While a single cable connected to a dock is a great idea, in reality, I am left with two three cables on top of a dock.
What's in your threat model that's simultaneously a non-targeted attack, but also sophisticated enough to get through basic security (eg. strong password or public key)?
This is about control by managers. Older or more experienced developers will often call out BS if a manager makes a faux pas for whatever they are delivering. Younger programmers will work longer hours to make the managers look good.

With experience comes wisdom. Wisdom is a manager's worst nightmare unless they were technical in the first place.

I thought conflating the dot with function composition wouldn't be too bad because they're similar in a sense, but then I remembered that the two work in the reverse order in the sense that:

(.a.b.c) . (.d.e.f) = (.d.e.f.a.b.c)

If you use -> both for the member function and for reverse function composition you'd get:

(->a->b->c) -> (->d->e->f) = (->a->b->c->d->e->f)

which is somehow nicer, especially because accessing a member and composing functions become the same thing when you view a value as the unique function sending the initial object to that value.

But unfortunately we've spent centuries composing functions the wrong way round, so now we're forced to deal with the consequences.
Right, IP addresses aren't reliable for tracking because static IPs aren't commonplace. But if they were, then they would be.
It's not as bad it might appear from this comments. People are just generally bad managing their own careers and really figure out what they enjoy/want.

This means that you should clarify better what do you want in a software job. Besides working from home, what do you want? Relax workflow? Adrenaline rushes from doing fixes in live/production systems? Do you know work on technical or business features? Does the tech matter (new/legacy) for you? Do you enjoy mastering a tech or just make software work? How much payment is worth a worse job?

My suggestion is that you write down what's your ideal software job and review it several times. Then it's a "simple" tasks of reaching for it and keep your expectations in check.
Ask HN: Why should businesses drop their software for my enterprise solution?
I'm trying to work on a business idea which is a B2B enterprise solution. The core roadblock I am facing is that almost all the businesses in this domain have built their software solutions. My goal here is to create a universal platform that should significantly cut down their software development/management cost. But, I can't get around the idea of asking businesses to drop their software in favour of mine. Of course, this is assuming that my offer holds up to their standard. Is it something that you would consider if you were running one of these businesses?

PS, I trying to reach out to potential customers to gather as much data as I can, but it is taking longer than I expected.
I found that to be an even more annoying attempt at a compromise. It's like Apple heard the complaints but completely misunderstood them.
Ironically, all the IndexDB implementations were just thin layers on top of sqlite last I checked.
These complaints always seem to fade over time.

Remember the complaints when Apple switched away from 30-pin, or when they switched away from the floppy?

They seem to be right more than they're wrong. Could you imagine a 30-pin (or FireWire port, since that's what preceded 30-pin) on a modern iPhone?

The headphone jack could be the most notable exception, though. It predates modern computing and I doubt it'll ever go away unless battery and connectivity tech continues to improve.
I keep saying it. Building software in tech sucks. The process, the people who complicate everything, all the unnecessary features that bloat the code, spending all your day reviewing pull requests, etc. But building software in general is fun. For me it's also not so much about the software but about the business. When the business motivation is clear and I believe in it, then I'm motivated to build software. And when I say business motivation it can even mean me wanting to learn something.
Your overall tone is negative and elitist.

Thee $300 supermarket bike (I have one and put over 40 miles on it weekly and it's help up fine for four years) provides access to folks who otherwise can't afford the fancy $1,500 aluminium/carbon machines. Fancy bikes are still getting made and even getting better.

Newly rich kid or VC funded startups distributes money from wealthy people to an every growing software industry. It allows people like me to work in software; something that was previously only available to elite educated people who happened to live in the correct zip code.

tl;dr: The pie has increased in size and become much more inclusive. Yes, there is a lot of low-quality pie out there. But there is also plenty of high-quality pie for those who can afford it. This is good for everyone except the very elite entrenched class.
I haven't seen a case where the port is 2222.
