I was talking about XWayland and the other problems Wayland devs have mentioned like Pipewire, poor performance, current and future issues FLOSS developers can't fix on their own without being able to patch and only NVIDIA can fix them. A big waste of time for that extra path (even if initially sent by them) that I wish they didn't had to maintain and triage bugs.

The experience with glitches and problems that the user above just describe to you and I see every day on social media. And the blame went to Wayland. I don't claim to know how it works deep down I can only comment about the smell and it's not pleasant.

They promised many things years ago and we are still in the same situation. I will be the first to congratulate NVIDIA if they fix this issue and change their practices. I'm sure they have legit grievances with Linux developers but their behavior is awful if you're a user or want the desktop to succeed.

Browser add-on? feh. Heck, I'd sign in to google and let them monitor me explicitly if I could just filter out sites from my results through the standard web interface.
Honestly, a lot of it depends on the design of the streets you ride on. Most of the people I know (myself included) have been injured commuting from being doored, having a driver make a blind left turn, having to merge into fast traffic because a car is parked in the bike lane, etc.
I'd just like to say that, while I see people responding in exactly the way you and gwbas1c are describing, and trying to turn the criticism back around on you, you have made me think about my actions in the past and the way I express concern, and what sort of boundaries I should have with people. Reading about your experience, and seeing it happen in real time, has been extremely educational for me.

I hope it is heartening to know that you've inspired a self awareness in at least one person with this thread. Thank you for taking the time.
Joe Biden – I've Been Dumb (remix)
Can you explain a little more about the storage part of this? I see renewables and storage mentioned every time this topic comes up. It seems like we've got the solar panels and wind turbines figured out, but I'm skeptical on the storage part. I tried doing some research myself, but everything I find reads like a press release from a company that is attempting some kind of storage. As far as I can tell, there is no actual large-scale storage operating anywhere, other than pumped hydro, which we've known about for a long time, and can't be scaled unless we start building mountains.

I mentioned I'm skeptical, but I'm genuinely asking, because I've never seen anyone ask about it.

The problem is that there are so many people with locked in tax rates that the residents of san francisco has consistently prevented developments that would actually create relief for tax rates. But since their rates are locked they don't have any reason to ruin their view.
I had disabling sciatica for a year and I thought a break from work would do me good; perhaps 3 months of exercise, no slouching over a computer, no deadlines, etc. would improve the situation. Nothing worked. In desperation, I consulted many, many specialists, even chiropractors, but nope, no change.

Alas, I had banked on _something_ changing in 3 months, so I had planned a walking holiday in Western Ireland (Dingle) before rejoining work. I wasn't prepared to cancel the tickets, so I went anyway. I took along a plywood board to help me sit angled on the seat to avoid having to sit at right angles!

Started the walk on The Dingle Way in a dubious frame of mind. I knew I was doing it only because I was too cheap to cancel tickets. Then magic happened. The place is so exquisitely beautiful that I walked 25 kms on the first day, even sharing a backpack with my wife. That evening, everything was hurting, but not in the usual places I had been conditioned to expect. The sciatica was GONE! I couldn't believe it, but it didn't recur the next morning. It has been 20 years now.

It is possible mine was a simple case that just required a structural realignment. But I had tried walking before, and many other strategies to improve posture etc. In hindsight, the only difference is that my brain in Ireland was fully engaged in the beauty of the place and people, and disengaged from the pain. Perhaps exercising my back without being focused on a cure is what worked.
Who knows? Perhaps this anecdote is of some value to your friend.

Thank you, Ireland!
This is only somewhat related, but I've used Go's protojson lib for pretty printing protobuf encoded data: https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/protobuf/encoding/protoj...

They say not to rely on the output being stable, so I would recommend guaranteeing a stable translation yourself for a REST client. You can achieve this by translating from the JSON to your proto or grpc service structure yourself.
Thank you for saying this. I've experienced the same thing. Like you, I seldom mention my chronic pain as a result. You're right, it's exhausting.

I try to remind myself that it's more about the other person's insecurities than my own pain, and I try to be gracious. Sometimes I still snap at people who don't take the hint.
Project Zero's disclosure policy as described in the article appears to leave little room, if any, for the bias you appear to be implying:

> In keeping with long-standing policy, Google’s vulnerability research group gave Microsoft a seven-day deadline to fix the security flaw because it’s under active exploit. Normally, Project Zero discloses vulnerabilities after 90 days or when a patch becomes available, whichever comes first.

In addition, the two bugs appear to be unrelated other than being used as part of the same attack chain. The Chrome/FreeType vulnerabilities were reported on 2020-10-19 [0, 1], while the Windows vulnerability was reported on 2020-10-22 [2]. The Chrome team released a fix for their bug the day after the it was reported [3], while Microsoft is either still working on fixing the bug or is waiting for Patch Tuesday.

Why would Google be interested in getting consent for something they can force without you being able to complain about it? That makes no business sense, and the only thing that makes Google change things is if there are dollars at stake.

And then only dollar amounts that move the needle (and if your choice negatively impacts the business by only a million dollars ayear, that's an irrelevant difference for Google. They literally don't care, because a million is peanuts, and does not move the needle)
Create your identity in this world
The world is filled with men and women. But not all who make a living have an identity.

By identity, I don’t mean physical identities such as gender, color, race, or wealth. Identity is much more spiritual than that. A legacy which you leave behind, which acts as a torch that your future generation take forward.

Before proceeding further, take a moment and think about men or women who strike your mind and the identity you associate with them. Now can you reason out why “that men or women” struck your mind?

Let’s take some examples. When people think about Steve Jobs, they associate Apple with him. The calm and smiling face when Buddha strikes you. When you think about your mom, you associate the love and care she gives the family.

Now back to the question. “Why did that men or women struck your mind at your first thought”. Simply put, it’s because of the value they provided to the global community. This value helps the whole community move forward.

It’s no wonder that you always prefer buying stuff from that store/business even though you might get it for a heavy discount elsewhere. The value they provide, the shopkeeper’s originality or the quality products, or the way they handle customer issues, gives them an identity in this world. It is for this reason you always prefer that store/business.

So what if I said, these businesses independently could extend the same value which gave them their identity to the global community and make a greater impact.

If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or homepreneur reading this, this is for you. The world needs more independent businesses. Take your business online with BubbleBiz and create an impact in this world.

If you really wanted to support any denominator for a 16-bit division in a space efficient way, it seems like you could just subtract the denominator from the numerator in a loop, counting iterations until it's less than the denominator. I can't imagine it's more than a dozen assembly instructions, even on a crappy architecture. Worst case (divide by 2), it takes 32767 iterations, and you even get the remainder out of it.

With this example, say 100C. Convert to deciC and offset, say, 25 degrees to make it unsigned. 1250. Multiply by 9. 11250. Divide by 5 takes 2250 iterations. I am unfamiliar with the MCS-48, but Google says it can be clocked at 11Mhz. It would take maybe 40ms to do the divide?
Inertia of the industry combined with risk aversion. Nuclear regulation is not really setup for small modular reactors and nuclear power still has a bad name.

The nuclear fanboys still push the big reactors. I think renewable fans like me favor next gen rectors because we are okay with not building reactors right away. We can build renewables until they are developed. Nuclear fans OTOH hate renewables and just want to build whatever is possible right now.

So we are in a situation where nuclear fans are not pushing it and most renewable fans think all nuclear power is like the current shitty big reactors.
If you look at the actual shootings, it's a bunch of tales of people engaging in mortal combat with the police. You might think, oh, police are still reacting more violently in similar situations. But we can check for that: In the past decade, police have been feloniously killed by black criminals at 3.7 times the rate of other demographics (199 out of 535, iirc, see the Law Enforcement Officers Feloniously Killed section of the Uniform Crime Report, Table 42). If black guys were fighting police at the same rate as other groups, you'd expect a much much lower number.

What you might still have an argument for is that police could do a better job overall of not killing people. I mean, I would make that argument, in specific ways.
Trivia decisions aside, there are also seemingly trivia things that you just didn't even know you had to know or make a decision on. You don't know what you don't know, so having someone who had done it to guide a future entrepreneur on things beyond just high level guidance would be immensely helpful.
I've thought about writing the same type of book with a broader scope. HR processes, what is a PEO, types of insurance and how to shop for them, accounting/bookkeeping practices, importance of contracts, how to collect AR, how construction contractors bill and how to ask them to quote, overview of electronic signatures, retaining communications from the start, what is a payroll audit, etc.)

I'm sure there can be some other great advice in there about not spending too much on design upfront, using graphic design templates as much as possible, etc.

The reality is a lot of the stuff that can really bite you in the ass (PAGA lawsuits in CA) you only learn about when you're about to get reamed.
Advice is on a spectrum from being so generic as to be common sense, all the way to understanding your precise situation and choices.

Things like health insurance and credit cards are far too specific for YC to put out as a generic guide. The size of your team, budget, where you're located, etc. all make a big difference.

Part of being an entrepreneur is figuring these things out, and I'll admit that choosing the "default" options was actually a negative for my last startup because it didn't provide what we needed. Doing the research is a good test for how well you'll be able to handle the rest of the details of running a business.

If you don't know where to look for this info, I recommend reading how similar companies (same sector, size, region) started and using what they use. Plenty of startup profiles out there on HN, techcrunch, angelist, producthunt, indiehacker and more. That's usually a good compromise to provide choices without too much research.
They're usually faded out or nonexistent in most of the roads I frequent. I wish they just painted one lane bright red and another lane bright blue. The whole lane. If it fades 90% it's still in-your-face clear and hard to mistake.

Or if you're worried about colorblind people, use patterns. Fill one lane with random dots and another lane with random stars.
How to Take on the Tech Barons
The main thread is that people that tell you about their pains just want you to hear them, not solve their problems. They want empathy by being a good listener and just acknowledge with empathy
> So basically the people who just moved in are subsidizing the rest of us significantly.

Not as much as the ratio of property taxes would make you think; given Prop. 13’s other provisions, like the limit on nominal rates, much of the revenue functions that are served by ad valorem property taxes in places that aren't crippled by Prop 13 are, in California, served by a combination of:

(1) Mello-Roos fees (per-parcel assessments that are weighted by value and so aren't affected by the Prop 13 assessment increase discrepancy),

(2) state and local income taxes,

(3) state and local sales taxes.

> At the current rate of improvement of these technologies, this will be cheaper.

As you imply here, it is not cheaper now, and plan something on hopes that it will be seems not very prudent.

Past performance is not indicative of future one.

We don't know what technical and engineering problems will surface when building battery packs orders of magnitude bigger than current biggest ones.
I'm not sure I'm quite following your train of thought, is the implication that offshore wind farms are going to have a greater negative effect on the planet than our current energy mix? I don't think anyone who works in this field from a technical level has an opinion that you can plonk down a solar panel farm and have a net zero effect on the local environment, but there's a bunch of examples of where there's been an accidental positive feedback loop that's occurred with solar panels in certain regions. This is specifically not cited by the article.

Apologies for the lack of clarity in that sentence, there is a recognition that intermittence is one of the biggest challenges that is currently faced by the power grid in it's current form. But we actually have ways to get around this currently, it's just very rare for them to be put in place (there's also some large omissions from the current state of the South Australian power grid that is mentioned).

We still have to explore for coal as an industry, too. So should we presume that the moment our current coal reserves run out that this is the end of all coal power?

No.

Anyways, no-one has really made a case for renewables being a silver-bullet who works in energy policy, I would not be inclined to use this article as a touchstone for the problems the industry faces.
I hope someone pays attention, because this was fun!
Thank you for sharing. I've recommended Sarno a few times on HN and always wrestle with the guilt of offering unsolicited advice. But I figure if it helps even saves just one or two people from months/years/decades of pain, it's worth it.
Thanks, I was just thinking about how this works vs something like WordPress where you can preview how the actual edited page will look before you publish. Netlify CMS lets you view the Markdown, but the non-tech editor would have to understand there's a build delay to the page going live and the final page might need reviewing.

Nothing's perfect though, I just find most static site stories don't address the above so any thoughts are appreciated!
Wealth should definitely be taxed, especially land wealth. It's super easy to hide money in land wealth if you don't tax it. We need land to go to the highest best use for cities. Otherwise you end up with terrible strip malls, low density housing, and traffic everywhere.

Whoops, I just described Santa Clara County. And LA.
It's virtue signaling, not caring. It's pretending to care and expecting to get pats on the head for it while actually being a burden to someone whose life is already overburdened.

It's the opposite of actually caring about a person. It's caring about them making you feel good about going through superficial "caring" motions while doing absolutely no good and lots of terrible harm when it is added up over time for the person with a chronic condition whom absolutely everyone wants pats on the head from for pretending to care while doing not a damn thing to actually make their life better in some meaningful way.

If people care, they do what actually helps you rather than insisting you make them feel good for superficial bullshit that only adds to your suffering.
That reminds me of the evolution of magazine code listings, which eventually came with per-line CRC values. If I remember correctly, there was a mod for Atari 800 BASIC where it would spit out the CRC after you typed each line of code.

When I tell people I'm in pain (or similar), I'm usually trying to convey "Hey, sorry I am not at my best. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm not trying to bark at you. If I'm failing to get all the info, it's not for lack of trying or being too lazy or disrespectful to pay attention. I'm just doing the best I can right now and the best I can isn't that great."

And that's usually not how it gets interpreted so I do a lot less of that than I used to do.
Refers to the number of "words", in this case 2 or 4. The term word is not used so much anymore because it's kind of lost its usefulness in modern computer architectures. It used to refer to the size of CPU registers and/or bus widths. I guess the last generation where this was still as important was 32 bit, and that kind of stuck, hence double word floating point.

Maybe a decade ago, I read a story here on HN where somebody was analyzing a singer's audio to detect how close their pitch was, coming to the conclusion that the root was spot on but other notes were slightly sharp or flat.

Someone in the comments pointed out that the analysis was done assuming even temperament, and the singer was actually totally nailing just intonation.

It's one of those anecdotes that has stuck with me since as a reminder to try to not get tunnel vision on a specific metric.
