> You have a problem that's repeatable right on schedule, that presumably shows up in the logs and affects multiple customers. It should be a no-brainer to send someone with test equipment out there to measure things in the field while the problem was happening.

You say that, but the San Antonio Caltrain to California Avenue Caltrain stretch still has an enormous T-Mobile deadzone, even after I twice reported it to them and both times they said "they'd send someone to take a look."
I don't find this line of thinking to be compelling at all, unless you make certain assumptions that I don't agree with. For one, you'd have to assume that the "big idea" of a book is that you read it once, like a novel, and should have great recall of a large body of details / minutia from said book. IMO, it just "doesn't work like that."

If you want to learn from a book, you have to play a more active role. Personally I find that the process of learning from a book involves A. read it once, straight through like a novel - maybe underlining key passages in pencil, then B. reading again and taking detailed notes as you read, and possibly looking up citations, or related references (the Wikipedia page for a particular term or phrase, for example), then C. re-reading your notes a couple of times as well as reading and re-reading supplemental material that you found, and finally D. writing your own synthesis of the material.

Yes, that's a lot of work and yes it takes a long time and no, not every book justifies doing all that. Sometimes it's OK to just read the book like a novel, and walk away with just a vague memory of the highest level themes and maybe detailed recall or one or two specific points that resonated with you. It all depends on why you're reading the book and what you hope to get out of it.

Edit: and if it's a book with exercises, then add "do the exercises" as another step. That said, I see reading / working through a textbook to really "learn a subject" as being a slightly different thing from reading the typical pop-sci book or business book or whatever, that doesn't generally have exercises. "Learning a subject" to me usually involves using multiple books, videos, articles, maybe writing some code, etc.

The article now has an update that confirms your reading:

I can see that by using an abridged and edited version of my analysis of the data for this blog post that I’ve unintentionally spread confusion. I’d like to clarify the intention behind my comments on developers and IDEs. For me, if developers don’t understand what IntelliJ IDEA gives them as a fully-featured IDE, that’s a failure on my part, since it has been my job for six years to educate developers on what an IDE (specifically IntelliJ IDEA) can do for you. I feel very strongly that one should never blame users, or prospective users, for failing to understand a product.

My personal viewpoint on IDEs for Java developers comes from having been a Java developer for 20+ years, working on production Java projects large and small. I can’t imagine trying to create a complex enterprise application without the considerable help you get from an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA. I have also seen lots of developers using VSCode and I completely see the use cases that code editors cover well. There’s always room for more than one tool in your toolkit, and understanding what a tool does well helps us pick the right one for the right job.
I prefer to have the application ran on my machine in a fashion similar to how I'm going to deploy it. Using a "large" ecosystem IDE detracts from that as the application is now ran by an application rather than in a system. And almost all the features you listed are possible in VSCode. You just have to take an hour or two to set your system up to run it.

You make it sound like the US woke up one day, became expansionist and sought to conquer the Philippines or Puerto Rico.

The US defeated Spain in a war of Spain's making, and the US then received those territories as a settlement because Spain lost. The US ended colonial dominance of the Philippines and set them free to become an independent nation beginning in 1934.

And Puerto Rico? They persistently seek to remain attached to the US. No wonder: their GDP per capita is double that of Chile and triple that of Mexico or Argentina for contrast. Amusingly, it's even higher than Spain's GDP per capita.

Similarly the US didn't wake up one day and decide to invade Mexico as an expansionist policy. Mexico started a war with the US and lost, some of their territory was ceded because of their mistake in starting that war. Historically it's a bad idea to start wars with vastly more powerful neighbors, it has commonly ended in losing territory.

Despite being a superpower for seven decades, the US has maintained stable borders with its neighbors. It could have spent the last seven decades taking territory in North America, and it has chosen not to behave that way. For example the US fairly splits the Gulf of Mexico with Mexico, politely following reasonable border lines rather than going by who is more powerful; contrast that with what's going on in the South China Sea.
In my experience, real-time collaboration between US East Coast and Europe works pretty well. One of my roles involves a lot of calls with Central Europe and sometimes I (US East Coast) am on calls a bit earlier than I'd ideally like and Europe may end up going past 5 sometimes, but it's not really a problem. Add 3 more hours to the difference and it gets harder.

I've seen both, it might depend on the location, or other factors. Maybe you could ask explicitly?

See there: https://lafibre.info/orange-les-news/show-hello-2016/

That website also has a lot of information (in French) regarding ISP configs, and I think it would answer your question regarding IPTV. There is a whole section dedicated to replacing the box with a custom router: https://lafibre.info/remplacer-livebox/

It looks like there is a VLAN (840) for multicast TV, and another for VoD (838). There are a few vendor-specific field the DHCP server has to pass the decoder if you want that to work.

From one of the topics on that website, this English document is linked, which could be useful: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/orange_fr_tvf.html

Ask HN: Mac/Linux devs, have you had success switching to Windows?
I'm not a terribly die hard Unix user - but i am used to the basics. A quality terminal, running a terminal editor, Git, etc.

(I now realize i am using Kakoune, which heavily uses Unix and has Windows incompatibility .. but i'll ignore that for the moment.)

Have any of you developers who previously used Linux/Mac migrated successfully to Windows? What tips might you be willing to share for easing the migration process?

I ask because i'm looking to do various CG and GameDev work, i want to migrate away from Mac, but i'm not sure i want to fight with Computer Graphics on Linux.

I grew up in Kerala (the place the robot is demoed). The method you mentioned is tough in a densely populated place like mine. Palm trees grow in our yards. A human needs to climb the tree and drop the coconuts carefully to avoid breaking tiled roofs or causing any other damage.

I believe it might be an issue with this robot too. But you can see this requirement in the design of other tools. It always involves climbing the tree.

I can't comment on the others, but I'm a trained historian, and hating Guns, Germs, and Steel is probably the single thing that unites our field. It's vastly oversimplified, and gives anyone who reads it the idea that they understand the major forces shaping world history while ignoring most of the things that historians agree are more important than environmental determinism in that process.

>The underlying questions of Entangled Life, and other mycophilic media today, are: How can we be more like fungi? How are we already like fungi? How can we, as Paul Stamets puts it, ally ourselves with the fungal kingdom? How can we mycologize ourselves and our world? How can we break down our waste for fuel and sustenance, rather than let it accumulate in garbage dumps, oceans, and bloodstreams? How can we organize ourselves flexibly and responsibly so each part of the social web gets what it needs? If we fail and our own species does not survive the next few centuries, we can at least trust that a resilient species of fungi will evolve to consume the copious remains of our civilization and renew the planet again.

I had some experience with Espressobin v5 and v7 devices. All the issues that I had with the devices were caused by terrible software support. Openwrt was unstable. The original kernel was too old.

The best results were using armbian kernel and userspace for this device. You should be able to build one in a less than an hour on modern pc.

I have a v7 device that I use with a sata drive. It has been stable so far.

Edit: forgot about needing a recent bootloader. This is also mentioned by armbian docs.

The phrase han supremacy itself is projection. It's super American to put things specifically in racial terms.

Mao was giving minority cultures exemptions from the 1-child policy, subsidies, and all sorts of other stuff at a time when we were running Jim Crow.

90%+ of Han Chinese only ever see other Chinese, they do have a sort of belief that their culture is the best culture on the planet and the center of the world but so does everyone else, especially Americans. We can't say a thing.
Judging the past on the standards of the present isn't a productive line of reasoning. Using past mistakes to rationalize further atrocities is beyond regressive.
It helps in these detailed areas of discussion to be precise.

m.2 is a form factor, or really sort of a family of form factors.

SATA and NVMe are protocols and interfaces. In m.2, there are 12 key indexes. Drives use indexes B and M. m.2 support both NVMe and SATA. NVMe drives for m.2 are keyed at index M. M.2 SATA drives are keyed at B or often both B and M.

m.2 supports SATA and NVME, sometimes but not always in the same slot. For NVMe speeds, you need an NVMe drive. Those come in PCIe x2 and PCIe x4 at PCIe 3.x and PCIe 4.0 revisions of the standard. The drive and slot must both support this. m.2 SATA 3 drives don't have two cables to them like a 2.5" SATA 3 drive usually does. It goes in an m.2 slot that supports SATA and is keyed appropriatly.

m.2 also has various lengths: 40mm, 60mm, and 80mm. Some drives are up to 110mm and many boards provide for that. The "2260", "2280" and so on are drive sizes, 22m by the length.

m.2 also supports non-drive cards like GPS, Bluetooth, WLAN, WWAN, or NFC.

Another, earlier than m.2, standard allowed drives with a SATA interface on a card with no cables. That was known as mSATA.
But if you tell a bunch of thugs to do a job with ill specified parameters, and they try to solve the problem by harassing store owners, you can blame them for obviously going outside the bounds of intent, right?

You run a legitimate protection business. Of course you wouldn't extort money by breaking store owners' legs. ;)

Setting up a situation where there is risk of breakdown and structuring that situation so if the breakdown happens, all of the responsibility falls on the gig workers who lack the means to defend themselves and none of it falls on the company making all the money is an already understood pathology of the gig economy. Uber has spent so much time, effort, and money trying to convince legislatures and courts that they don't have any employees providing ride services for a reason.

Tibetan history, like Chinese history, is complicated.

On the subject of Tibetan assimilation: what most people think of Tibet - that is the current Tibetan autonomous region of the PRC - is actually only about 1/3 of what many Tibetans would call "Tibet."

What is culturally and ethnically Tibetan actually stretches across Qinghai province, as well as large swaths of Sichuan, and part of Yunnan and Gansu. If you go to these regions and talk to Tibetans, they will tell you you are in Amdo, Kham, etc, even though you may be in the administrative province of, for example, Sichuan. Residents will still sometimes even use these designations on their postal envelopes.

There are some historical reasons for the way Tibet is currently defined, but "Tibet" was also chopped up into a much smaller contemporary "tibet" for, er, strategic reasons.

If you are interested in the big 3 Tibetan regions:

What you are saying is definitely true in a general sense; a lot of local gov income comprises of shady land deals. However it is a bit different in 'far border' areas such as Tibet/Xinjiang. Land is not scarce, and development not so attractive. Also as some one grew up in China I would take a pinch of salt on what the 'officials' are admitting. There won't be anything meaningful if you haven't got a real tie with them. Besides after Xi became president, calling out corrupted officials is a such massive effort and that's why Xi (or more precisely the group he may represent) has so many enemies even in the party.

I see the companies as wildly different not on what they do but their ethics. That's not to say either is a noble cause, but certainly one could imagine a fairly evenly distributed 2x2 matrix of people who find the actions of either company ethical or not.

If you work for the government, there is a theoretical chain of accountability to the public. But if you work for the government, you are working for the largest lever of power and abuse. If you don't work for the government, your only accountability is your shareholders and customers (in Facebook's case advertisers.) However, Facebook's "mission" is defensible insofar as they're able to disentangle themselves from the conflict of interest between their users and customers.

Truthfully today I think both companies have immense moral hazard. But I think Facebook is the one of the two which theoretically could dig itself out of it if they start better aligning their own incentives with the ones society has.
> So like Hawaii?

Are people in Hawaii still getting held at gunpoint to assimilate to whatever American culture is? If yes, we should definitely complain about it now.

> Yes. Plus they have old claims to the area (as valid as a claim can be).

Yes, we all know about those claims like the comical nine dash line. Tibet has always been a historical buffer state between the Chinese and Indian civilizations, culturally influenced by both. Sure, some Chinese empires were able to defeat them to force them to be a part of the empire for some centuries but that's about it.

It must be fun to take out a map with some line that some loon drew in the past to lay claim over anything you wish. I guess we can even expect a map for Mars in future.

Despite what lawyers say, the behavior of government and other actors made it clear that encryption is always to be recommended. Responsible behavior here means supporting everyone around you to enable encryption for themselves.

Government already made clear that its own rules don't apply, so I don't really see room for discussion around responsibility until the crimes of surveillance are cleared up and constitutionally deemed rights for privacy are restored.

Neither Mrs. Williams, nor Mr. Barr seem to be interested in an honest discussion. It seems to be especially dishonest if national security is the argument brought forward while referencing instances of domestic crime. That people offer up their children for prostitution is horrific, but cannot be an argument here, even if prospects that lead to such behavior can indeed be relevant to it.
