Not really (non sequitar). He's shadowbanned (see their submissions and comments).

The particular comment doesn't add much either; its merely an opinion, nothing more. Not a well argued one either while we're at it. That doesn't mean they should or shouldn't be allowed to have the opinion, nor does it mean they're right or wrong. It merely means its a shallow post.

As far as I can tell from the plans page, that's been completely axed. It's now either restricted personal use, or USD$495 (currently on offer at $297) /seat/year.

Of course we write professionally at work. But that's work, and there is a level of bullshit required in all professional writing, because that is what is required.

This isn't work, this is a personal blog, where someone is clearly and concisely expressing how many people feel using language that many people can relate to.

I'm sure many have made the same argument before, and many feel the same way about Apple and its tactics, however, this one is ranking high on HN right now because it has a title which clicks with people's frustration. Apple's being an "asshole", there's no need to mince words.
> Guarantor works a lot better for a young person starting out in a cheap-ass room in a shared place, whose parents expect this. For a flat and an older adult with retired parents on a low pension, or their own housing costs, not so much.

Absolutely. When my mother-in-law divorced and moved into a rented house, I was her guarantor.

I did have parents in 2003, but they lived 3000 miles away in a greek village where there was an ISDN line a 20 minute ride down the mountain, so not too practical. But this artcile is about 18-29 year olds moving in with their parents, not 50 year olds.
> what’s really the point when all browsers are just wrappers around Safari anyway.

I think one of the reasons may be to enforce the global settings for parent controls and privacy etc. which would be hard with third-party engines.
I've done more than my fair share of vendor due diligences (and audits, action plans and contract reviews,..)

To me this is a non-issue, because customers almost always ask for types of security checks, not for specific tooling (ie: asking for source code analysis vs asking for veracode).
As a rule, compliance/government folks will be concerned about the types of security measures you have in place and not about the specific implementation. Commercial source code analysis tools have varying support depending on language (as others have mentioned: some languages are harder than others). A very valid alternative is to use a linter with security checks (and potential custom rules). The advantage will be that checking will go much faster so you can do it more often (every PR instead of nightly for example). Many security conscious companies have something like this in place.

In general when you're answering security due diligence, it's your job to convince the customer you're going to keep their data safe. They will ask about certain things you don't have and it's your job to explain how you're still solving the underlying problem. Typical example: customers asking for antivirus on all systems and you using (immutable) docker containers.

By the way, the interesting thing here is not the answers to the questions, but how you organise your company to quickly and effectively (as in: no follow up meetings or worse: action plans) answer them. My pet peeve here is "customer guided security": You start from what you think you need (baseline) and you add the security measures that take the longest to explain why you don't have them. That way, you're skating through most of the due diligences and sales velocity goes up, which will make your bosses very happy.
> The original Oculus Quest is already really good, and was constantly sold out

I accidentally bought one until I realized the mistake and bought a rift S a day after that. Want to buy it? It is as good as new.

Thought about selling it on ebay but got a bad conscience to sell it to some kid, even for a good price.

Jokes aside I think not needing to connect a PC has to be the future, but I would expect the device to be able to run a conventional OS. Currently I think it will stay a dream however.

Otherwise VR devices have amazing capabilities already. A few more pixels would be good, but you will quickly need a lot of processing power.
This is PG&E in California we are talking about? The one that already has rolling blackouts? California is just a failed state - an embarrassment for an economy so large it rivals most countries.
Stallman's Law:

that warning is the same for any File server. if you want performance, then you need ram. otherwise you don't have enough space to keep hot blocks.

ZFS works as well as any FS in places with 8 gigs of ram. Hell I even run a KVM node with just 16 gigs of ram. Its working just fine.

Tried Notion for a while, but it just does too much in my opion, it gives me too many choices. I could spend hours trying to get the perfect home screen and arrange pages into a perfect order.

If I recall correctly, that's exactly what TextMate did years ago and what was one reason why it was considered to be so fast.

From an economics perspective I can't deny that PG&E did the right thing. Maybe they should have gotten a bigger fine?
> Scrolling gives users a spatial feeling

The spatial feeling is necessary only if things take more space than needed. In this case, this is not valid. There are no things that take more space than needed. It's simply a distraction.

If that's all they wanted they would buy an Android.

> PWAs let companies skip the app store and therefore skip paying apple 30% of their transactions which means cheaper prices for users.

Exactly, this is what this is all about: companies wanting to milk users for more money and maximize their own profits, not that they actually care about the users.
My experience is the same with the caveat that it made life somewhat easier for the devops team (of course, I was in the devops team here). All the common devops tasks were much easier (scaling, health checks, etc). Unfortunately, the least common ones were harder and lacked documentation to boot at least at first, until we got our own documentation to refer to.

To add to that, I think there's a very specific way you must do things to get K8s "right" and reap benefits. Or maybe it's a question of scale. There were honestly times when I thought maybe we could've stuck with good old servers. When I left the team was trying to redo microservices---this time properly---by introducing event queues and pubsub and finally split that database.

Love that workplace but I'm honestly glad I didn't get to participate in that transition. Sounds like "artificial complexity" as you put it. Would love to hear if they pulled it off though or not, a project postmortem basically.
do you have the link of the music ?
Contravariant functors are actually really nice.

The classic example from maths is the spectrum (Spec) of a ring R. As a functor, Spec(R) = the set of prime ideals of R. An example anyone can understand: all the multiples of prime numbers p Z, in the integers Z.

Let R -> S is a ring homomorphism, then there is an induced map Spec(S) -> Spec(R).

Spec establishes a connection between the category of rings and topological spaces. Algebraic geometry is a whole area of maths that deals with this connection.
In the past I have cracked the games I bought because they needed windows live or some such bullshit to play an offline only game.

Protecting it from security holes in the framework would be one reason.

Ensuring somebody in your org still knows how it works and could fix stuff in a pinch, is another.
Your “low light” filter is an unneccessary hack: just use the 'reduce whitepoint' feature and add it to power-button menu for quick access.

> I've always found it a little surprising that companies haven't built/funded a open-source

Well, Blender didn't start as an Open Source project, and is kind of a one-off in that regard. I can't think of any CAD projects started by commercial consortiums, especially Open Source.

Blender was a (small) commercial product by Not a Number (NaN), and when the parent company failed, was announced that it could be liberated with E100,000 donations.

Normally (almost always) when a software company fails, the receiver sells the IP to a competitor and there's no thought of going the route of Blender. So you won't see many stories like Blender.

KiCad was originally a one-man hobby project by somebody at Grenoble University, which is the more typical origin of Open Source CAD software:

Derivatives pricing and real estate pricing were major causal factors in the last financial crisis. A lot of the banking regulations regarding reporting, data integrity etc. are if anything even more important when the data analysis is being done by a separate entity from the one that's performing the transactions.

How about a null-ish hypothesis: most people I know are opposed to mandatory company-wide training in general.

Health and safety training, for example. And I can talk to people who were around before that was a things, and count the number of limbs.

It's not entirely unjustified. Mandatory company-wide training probably is irrelevant to your specific role. It's also usually delivered by the lowest bidder, which is the strongest possible true signal I could receive. It's often not even attended by leadership - the people whose role is setting the culture!

I get a long (charged by-the-hour?) lecture from HopefulSlogan Consultants about ethics and integrity? I think the same thing as I would walking past the slogans on Enron's lobby walls. The top is almost certainly corrupt.
One of the virtues of living in a "cookie cutter" home that has been built hundreds of times --- most of the bugs have already been worked out.
Both seem fine to me. Maybe I'm "middle aged" now.
This sounds more like a lack of experience than anything else. If they had found an experienced construction company that would have built these houses in the hundreds, that company would have assigned resources and figured out drainage, sealing and cracking. Once all this work is done, I'd assume it could be just as viable as anything else.

(And reading between the lines, the problems seem to be water, water, positioning on a sloped hill, cracks, water, water, quirkiness, water, and quirkiness.)

If anything, there's a bigger lesson in here on trusting things that are tried and trusted, instead of doing quirky stuff and trusting it with your livelihood. Why move in right away, why not have this as a weird cabin thing to experiment with? Never do experiments without fallbacks, people ...
"we were able to purchase the house for $45,000 less than the cost to build it. "

It was sold on a massive loss (around 150k to build years earlier). There must be something terribly wrong judging by the price alone.
Blender was barely a speckle on the map when it started it's now very capable. I'd bet 10$ it could grow a parametric whatever in 12 months
Wow, they are less than 3x3 meters (10x10 feet) including the corner for shower. The bed is literally touching the cooker/oven in the first one.

That explains the £737. Can't even put a desk to do your homework. Nobody would want to live there, especially with COVID.

Regular studios in student accommodations go for double that in this area. I've actually seen friends paying as much as £2000 a month, when they come from far or from abroad, don't have the luxury to visit 10 properties and landlord won't rent to students with no income.
While I agree, I'd rather deal with the k8 nonsense than maintaining infrastructure to make multiple VMs load balance, fail and restart cleanly, etc.
How much would you be willing to pay for a comparable headset without a required facebook account.

Clearly FB is planning to extract value from this, and is why they can price this at just $299. They're betting customers will give up some data/privacy for that low price.

I've seen a comment in reddit sometime before that said, "I would use Linux if it had all the programs I use day to day in Microsoft Windows". Though I can understand this, Microsoft providing support for Linux inside Windows is far from being the right approach. Its only going to make users stay on it. Rather, software makers should release their products for Linux as well. Microsoft is working towards the goal making Windows the de facto platform for all kinds of users.

People - users, developers, artists or anyone, should see this beyond software. They should see the philosophy that drives it, the "Free Software" movement paved way for an ecosystem where "Knowledge Freedom" was more important.
> GP feels like it's saying "I don't see why would anyone not want to run a dedicated kubernetes cluster with HA for running a program on Linux".

Thats not quite right

Its more that the documentation, command line interface and general user setup is far more friendly than mdadm. I've been a sysadmin for many years, and looked after innumerable file servers, from clustered XFS (!) through many years of lustre, plain old XFS/ext2/3/5 on HWraid to netapps&isilons, and all sorts of flash in the pan appliances.

Barring GPFS, the only file system that has documentation and tooling that is simple to understand and doesn't immediately bite you in the arse is ZFS.

Kubernetes is neither simple, easy or quick to setup, or run.
Usually, when internet is down, I stop working start playing single player games.
My experience is vastly different from yours. I've been using Ada as my main language for personal stuff for some years now... I can't quite recall when, but call it 5+ years?

I won't say I've never run into some kind of problem with Ada on gcc (aka FSF GNAT), but it's been pretty minimal and easily avoided. I think it's been a grand total of two or three bugs that I've known of in that time. I've also run into known gcc bugs with C++ before so the situation doesn't seem particularly bad to me.

I find it hard to believe a solo or duo dev shop has a real need for a support contract for their compiler. What language can you get a support contract for that is affordable by anyone?
Actually yes, since they have a huge incentive to Run to Failure. Chaos monkeys would provide a consistent source of failures to make them do their maintenance.

I'd say all it means is I value my data above $700, which I understand is not the case with many people. If I would not have enough disposable income, then I wouldn't buy Index nor Quest.

Yup. Never buy a house where the driveway slopes down the the garage. It'll flood the garage. Even if you put a trench before the garage door, it'll still flood because the trench will fill with leaves, slush, etc.

Giving a hurricane a name raises awareness. When a named hurricane is coming, people have a very clear sign, that they should spend attention. Having the name, also makes following the events easier. So it would be quite logical to name other similar dangers.

I have a blog there since 2002. I’ve run personal websites before and after, which have long fallen to my laziness for sysadmin tasks. Blogger alwyas works, costs me nothing, doesn’t try too hard, doesn’t go down if traffic surges, and gives me significant google-juice.
So it takes a $500+ billion company to crack this nut.
This was my first thought, too. Even started fantasizing how I would put a moat in front of the top of the stairs to drain the water away (and stop neighbors roaming).
No, GP is saying you need to start doing controlled fires on a regular basis, to reduce the accumulation of flammable material. Power grid is not related to that.
I understand the constraints and I'm not blaming them for everything, creating this dangerous situation is also a great issue, but I think this was handled very badly on their part as well.

As a utility they should have a set of rules and guidelines on how to operate safely. If it isn't possible in a situation, they should say no to the other party. With the rules they should be able to point at exactly what is missing and get the other side to fix their part (e.g. the risk or get them to pay extra for maintenance) or stop operating that bit. This looks like they intentionally looked the other way.
Indeed, the induced rhythms in the article are stimulated by shining light on the brain of mice to induce certain cells to fire, and electrical impulses on a human subject.

The prosecutor can make whatever claims he wants in an extradition hearing, but until the case actually sees the inside of a US courtroom I do not think anyone really knows how these are going to hold up. In this case you are running into a situation where the US prosecutor may be (significantly) over-playing his hand, but I am not sure how much latitude this court has to call bullshit on the claims being made by the US prosecutor.
That's usually not how laws works though. If you act irresponsibly, break laws, don't perform due dilligence and so on, you are also responsible and get blame for the consequences.

If you act in good fait, follow all regulations, act responsible, the law might see it as an accident where you don't get blame.
An effective DRM technique would be to spread a version of the game without DRM but with lots of malware in it then.
??? Are we talking about a physical cube? I don't think you can have multiple identical permutations; each of the 26 external pieces of a 3x3x3 cube is unique. You would have to somehow have more than one way to get, say, a Yellow-Blue-Red corner, or a White-Green edge for this to be true, no?
"out of the box" is a huge stretch. So is "simple".

Of course this is a problem! It's costly (in time, money, and security) to pay your team to ramp up on Kubernetes.

The question is, what is the actual benefit? 99% of companies don't need it at all.
There is only so much biomass we can extract from the biosphere without endangering it. It is limited to the amount what grows naturally. Actually, it is less, as the decaying biomass also plays an important role.

But yes, if we could extract the carbon from the cycle, it would be even better and truly CO2-negative. We should bury wood underground where it is not decaying for example.

Yes. That goes for all media and all software. This whole process gets much easier once you accept that this is actually what you pay for, and anything beyond a short rent, is just a bonus.

Being able to play a game in 10 years, play it offline, or sell it would always be surprising to me. So I wouldn't assume those things to be possible when I buy it.

That obviously makes fewer products worth buying, which saves me money. But quite often both for games and othewr media I come to the conclusion "Yes, I'm happy to pay $60 to play this for 2 weeks even if I never play it again". So long as that's the calculation, there is rarely any disappointment.
