Someone suggested making minor mistakes on purpose to me a while ago, and it turned out to be a pretty interesting kind of pain to lean into~

There's a typo near the end of the post, which made me smile - my first thought was that it was left in intentionally. I recommend following the author's lead. Like any treatment, it's no panacea, but by god was it liberating, and I'm not entirely disabled by perfectionism these days :)
What keeps a freeway-adjacent homeowner from installing a charger and renting the use of it to travellers?
Can't say I agree with this.

The internet enables anonymous bullying on a never-before-seen scale. It also enables anonymous ghosting as a defense against the bullies.

Generally when you make a mistake on the internet the best course of action is to just move on.
A thing I’d really like and have contemplated making is graphs like this for mtr rather than ping. That way you can see how things are changing at each hop—if my network isn’t working perfectly, I always jump to mtr rather than ping, because it shows me whether the problem is between my laptop and the router, the router and the ISP, the ISP and the world, or near the end server. For best results you’d probably want a full 3D chart rather than just side-by-side 2D charts which is the best you could do in a terminal.
The 1050 isn't just a desktop class card. Plenty of laptops have a 1050 inside.

I like how everybody is talking about cancel culture without saying the words. We’re at a point where it’s definitely not just the right complaining about it.
Yes - nothing like pressure to deliver. It will push you beyond your comfort level - what you’re capable of is not necessarily what you already know.
What about the blue collar workers that are living in RVs in the Bay Area? Are they buying silk socks?

I feel like capitalism is overly celebrated by those who benefit from it, to their detriment. The meritocracy is failing, capitalism is failing, and I’m concerned about will replace capitalism if we continue to brush off the harsh realities of its failings.
Things that do not keep me awake at night worrying:

* The thought that HN might adopt Jezebel's moderation system.

* Whether sexism and racism will survive if Jezebel and TheRoot disappear.
Make bootable backups part of you backup tool set. Both Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper are good apps for this purpose.

Such bootable backups can boot any other system of the same CPU family. And can be use to copy your full system to a new machine. Files, apps and configurations.

(It may take a little time for all of to work with ARM but it should get there soon)
I like how the more recent versions of mtr have a coloured heat map, showing the 3D data, essentially.

(x=time of test, y=hops, z/color=ping time)
PulseAudio Bluetooth HSP/HFP impl. via hsphfpd daemon blocked by Linux kernel
“The observatory “is 50 years old, and there’s never been a situation where suddenly a whole bunch of different strands are breaking,””

No mention of design life. I’d imagine fifty years is a magic number in some aging tests and specs. Their inspection process was visual, but that’s 20-20 hindsight. No preventive maintenance program mentioned, again 20-20 hindsight. You wonder about languor and island time culture colliding with cold, precise machines...

Christopher Krebs Hasn’t Been Fired, Yet
On top of that, a lot of companies simply give you a Mac, you don't get a choice.

I HATE my piece of crap MBP and would take a small pay cut to go back to Ubuntu/Arch.

This kind of weird elitism is getting very old.
Sure, just dont blatantly lie, or take something on that you don’t even know the required skills for. Or you might risk taking on impossible requirements (e.g. IOS app that wont be allowed by apple)
You should be able to easily downclock and undervolt the GPU persistently.
I find this now commonly believed and endlessly repeated idea that procrastination is primarily due to perfectionism... maybe a little too convenient?

As in: it's almost like those jokes about interview answers: "What's your biggest weakness" / "I work too much".

It it helps people to cope and build some self-confidence then, maybe, it's the mistake that is net-positive. Sort-of like the (apocryphal) story that Columbus made a mistake and believed India to be much closer to Europe, and wouldn't have attempted to cross the Atlantic otherwise.

But my default position would be that any such delusional thought patterns tend to hurt. This, specifically, also has the ugly implication that anybody getting stuff done is sloppy and/or otherwise not at the genius level it takes to never do anything right.

(Spoken as someone who should be working instead of arguing on HN)
All my immediate family have an iPhone. I have a public album for sharing family pictures. It allows for comments and 'likes'.

I have talked to my family about my privacy concerns and that I don't want pictures of my kids on Facebook unless I approve or my kids approve. I think it is important to respect children privacy requests (my son sometimes don't want pictures being shared) but it is a way to share memories with close family members that would enjoy the moment.
Where can I hear the correct sound of "غدر"? Google Translate reads it "ha-zi-bo-m", Bing Translator reads it "laz-bo-m", both are not like "Ghidra".
Yes, but that's something overhyped in social media and probably hardly even exists. It's very easy to incorrectly attribute mistreatment to something visible like sex or race. I used to have a workmate who complained everybody hated him at his previous job because he was the only American there. But then most people ended up hating him at his new job too, which was majority American staffed. People might use the obvious feature (eg. male, American, etc.) as an insult but it's often not the actual reason for the mistreatment. Bullies just pick on whatever unique characteristics their victim has as a way to belittle them and that can get misunderstood as sexism/etc.
Oh please. Is this suppose to be some sort of gotcha about the dangers of using JavaScript? I don't see how the existence of hardware level (CPU) vulnerability that could impact any software, including the browser itself, applies here.

If you refuse to use a modern web browser, that's a totally valid choice, but doing it based on some misguided notion of security is nonsensical.
Two random thoughts:

- Go to any former Soviet country. Still today, one can see and feel the supply chain problems in so many remaining visible products. Street lights, staircases, trains, ... Overbuilt, modular, repairable.

- Negative externalities like CO². We can probably learn a thing or two about what to do (or not!) with them from this totally crazy experiment that the USSR was.
Do you have a salesforce?
Ah good point! Know enough to know the constraints on what is possible.
This is how things works in China. Most things are illegal, but tolerated.

That way it's easy to prosecute people 'legally' when you feel like it. It happens every day at every level of society.
For others, not for a long time, but when I was younger (and hungrier) I did. Now that I am a little bit wiser and much older... I don't feel it is worth doing as most of the times I did it, I ended up putting in way more time and effort than I estimated and ended up making far less per hour than even a minimum wage job would have paid.

For myself, I still do. The most recent was buying a bull dozer and backhoe from an auction eventhough I had zero experience operating any heavy equipment. I should note that for the first year using these I had noone else around me and on my own land so I was not risking hurting anyone else or damaging anyone's property other than my own.

I think it comes down the morality of making promises to other people and potentially not being able to fulfill them.

If someone asked me to do a project and after I explained that I did not currently have the skill set to do it but thought I could figure it out, and they still wanted me to take it on. Maybe I would consider it but that would be a big maybe.
Honestly I am more the asker than the doer these days.
> that you still have to pay for

You think you don't pay for mac OS?

> get third-party ads anyway

Not getting any? On start bar? It can simply be resized to hide ads.

> an inconsistent Escheresque nightmare of a UI.

Some FUD spread by apple fans. Windows, GTK, and QT are all pretty good. There may be small problems but the look and feel of UI is not why I buy a computer.
Why should people who spread out over a large area get to decide how most people are governed?

A republic can be democratic, autocratic, or made of an oligarchy. Only one of those is predicated on a majority of the participants choosing their representatives, and is far more stable than the other two where the minority must use coercion and force to successfully exact its will on the majority. How do you propose a nation has representative leaders who aren't appointed by most of the participants? From what principle do they derive their authority?
Logic is a simple but seemingly universal subset of most languages. Everyone seems to be able to agree on things such as true and false and hold meanings of these words in the context of logic that mean the same. Not sure about your title question but consider that maths can be understood the same by many people and recreated by anyone from scratch, perhaps the most pythonic would be logic in spoken english.
That's because we live in a common law country. Of course most of the relevant bits will be case law.
There are those of us who are "self-taught" who are familiar with Therac-25 and other incidents. Don't think that a college degree somehow magically infuses engineers with ethics and judgement.

That comes from a culture of engineering that focuses on learning and continuous improvement, otherwise we'd just be fixed in time the moment we left school.
Presumably the developer beta serves that purpose?
I agree that it is part of it. I know that the first time I got back in my car after the first month of staying at home I felt like I didn't know how to drive.
IIRC the F1 still holds a few thrust records (thrust per one engine maybe ?) but is certainly much less efficient than modern engines from Spacex/Ble Origin & Russian construction bureaus (much worse ISP & TVR).
>The USA has the highest number of deaths from Covid of any country on Earth, by far

The number include people who die with covid not just due to covid. So its inflated.

> How you can look at those numbers and think "yeah, but wearing a mask is, like, annoying" is beyond reason.

Not just mask but also the business capacity restriction, business not allowed to open, kids not going to school in person, unemployment, bankruptcy, delayed treatment for other diseases, some suicides, some domestic violence, some horrible mental health impacts, some livelihoods destroyed, some people dying alone, some relationships ending, some relationships never starting, etc

All those for the risk of covid ? Yeah very very not worth it.

>there are many restrictions that we accept to make driving safer

Right, but even then still many people die, and that number can be reduced by banning car altogether but the damage is not worth it.

Similarly for covid, there are huge downside due to lockdown. The risk due to lockdown compared to the risk of covid ? very very not worth it.

Both option is sucks but the point it to choose the less sucks among it.

If for you, you think the risk is worth it and you want to isolate yourself then its fine I won't force you but the issue is if you trying to force other people to isolate too.

If I can choose I would gladly choose to live in the country like Sweeden, where life pretty much normal and hardly any masks or any other country without any restriction right now.
I do agree. You don't want your grandma or teenager kid changing that setting. But it should be an official way of doing it, not a series of hacks on the OS.
Seriously, give it up. It's a losing battle. The term means something different from what you want to to mean. How many HN comments about it are we going to have to suffer through?
For me, it depends on what the note is for. I store all my personal notes in Apple Notes. When I am at work and I need to store personal notes, I use my Google Keep that I will move to Apple Notes when I get home (Apple iCloud is blocked at work but not google ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). At work, I store all my notes in OneNote. OneNote is by far the best note taking tool I have ever used. I wish the Mac version was better. On my Kali box, I use Cherrynotes. I only use it for HackTheBox. If Microsoft would have a good linux and Mac version, I would use it instead of the others.
My quote was from Apple's MacbookAir page[1], including the footnote.

Your quote is just not very specific. On its face, it could mean every PC Laptop ever produced. I'm somewhat certain that every Apple computing device ever has beaten that standard. Even Airpods and the Macbook chargers might be getting close these days.

Why should it be okay to disagree with homosexuality but not, say, race, another thing that cannot be controlled? Terrible comparison.
It's pretty funny, because, as a solution, it simultaneously

(a) doesn't actually address the problem, because the content that DRM protects and that people want is stuff released within the last few months, and

(b) can't happen, as it sets copyright length back below what it was in 1909, before Disney even existed. In fact: the 1970s extension to copyright (the one predating "Sonny Bono" was done to bring the US into compliance with Europe.

People have weird thoughts about copyright.

Rubylith
Neither, the problem is raw population is the only metric of state-impact, even essential goods like water are paltry for impacting state-direction as the raw population of the many major cities of Southern California.

The point of water being a human right is not the actual on-the-face claim (of course!) but that California is the only State in the Union to declare it so. This is purely politics at State-level, not a humanitarian objective (a la "national security" at the federal level). The exchange of this essential good should pay forward to the state-control and security for the North via deforestation is my point.

Think: Northern California already would be called Jefferson by now if Southern California pushed for it as well, but they refuse on the basis of Northern water, yet they give no due State power, that is the fundamental hypocrisy of Democracy.
Housing prices have more to do with zoning rather than a lack of income. Housing prices have skyrocketed in real terms just because there's more people and not more houses.

>"Rubylith was used in the early days of semiconductors and integrated circuits.[1]

The physical layouts of the first generations of Intel microprocessors (the Intel 4004[2] and the Intel 8008 (née 1201)) were first hand drawn on graph paper.

A technician would then use a coordinatograph to precisely cut the rubylith and a knife to peel the appropriate sections away.

The finished Rubylith mechanical masters were then photo reduced up to 100 times and then step and repeated on to glass plates for production use. Shortly after the 8008, Intel started using Calma's computer-aided design system that ran on a Data General minicomputer; the output masters may have stayed rubylith for a time, but other output options became available. Bell Telephone Laboratories, for example, had a high-resolution photoplotter.[3] The integrated circuit industry left rubylith for better technologies."
I believe this was the criticisms raised at the time so, i guess we just have to accept that uber's leadership isn't very good at predicting the near-future.
a lot of the responses on this post feel like AstroTurf. Color me skeptical
As opposed to where? I am not familiar with any cultures where the "nice guy" wins out over the aggressive "type A" personality who prioritizes winning over empathy. Even in very polite asian societies. It seems like it's just human instincts.
I know you probably think you're right, but I can't help read this with pity that you think you're in the same position as the precursor to a totalitarian state because people don't want to kill their grandparents.
Are they using to Spy on their users or to keep the 'image' that Apple devices are more secure than the rest? I think the binary execution protection can do more good than harm. Sometimes shit happens like it did on Big Sur release. I just hope they change feature to not bring down the system to nearly unusable when ocsp.apple.com doesn't respond.
What's wrong with selling your vote? Politicians get to do it. Why can't I do it?

How does it open the door to voter intimidation? Someone steals my ballot receipt and checks who I voted for?
Very much this. We do that at my current job. We use protos to:
1. Define configuration options for all services/devices

2. Define data models

3. Persist them into our DB: https://github.com/CaperAi/pronto

4. Define our APIs

It's extremely convenient to have a single source of truth.
No hardware vendor would actually design that way. Pretty sure there are some driver ICs for those motors which take care of those spikes. Besides, controlling voltage limits via software is pretty expensive to do compared to just slapping a driver IC. The problem is most likely not the motors, but something else.
I refuse to shop at Safeway if I have any other choice. The Safeways I've seen display their discount as $1.00 off their (excessive) price, and then expect me to believe that I'm getting a discount instead of getting the real price that they artificially raised by $1? Feels pretty insulting and manipulative.
I can't speak for other degrees, but mine didn't magically infuse me with ethics. It was the full credited modules solely dedicated to just ethics that aided in that department.
It beats Apple’s own top of the line intel laptop at a fraction of the cost. According to the tests which have surfaced. That ought to count for something.

Apple has not made pure fantasy claims in the past so why should they now? The trend has been clear. Their ARM chips have made really rapid performance gains.
I can't really answer this but suggest perhaps some con lang's. Toki pona is a lang with only 200ish words meant for simple effective communication. And Lojban is a language meant to have unambiguousl grammar. The philosophy of the lang tests this one linguistics theory I cannot recall but it's a name of a man, and for the language to be logically understood. Unfortunately there are syntactic variations to phrases so there's no "pythonic" why to saying something (assuming pythonic means that there's one correct way to do something)
A lot of that can probably be attributed to major advances in type system ergonomics. A verbose, clunky type system with poor inference can easily be worse than none at all. Ten years ago, there just weren't that many popular, practical languages with really good type systems. Now there are quite a few.
I am not sure what's incorrect here, or the conclusion that the article wants me to draw.

The client: Decided to post a (possibly fake) review on a hotel he was staying at.
The hotel: Sued the client as is their right I suppose.
TripAdvisor: Gave the above information to their new clients so they'd know that leaving a bad review could be met with legal action from the hotel.

Nothing wrong happened here? Why shouldn't TripAdvisor be allowed to inform their customers? Why should the hotel not use the law of their country to sue an individual?

Give me a break, most hotels have some bad reviews which, when the hotel is actually good will be drowned in good reviews. TripAdvisor could say that they are alligators in the pools for all I care, they are a private entity...
macOS updates almost always break a lot of audio apps. You're better off waiting a few point updates and checking with the vendors of the apps you use before upgrading.

Any word from google and changes to how dmca's affect search results?

Last I read they said something like "when a web site gets a certain amount of dmca complaints to us we will lower it's rank in the results, on top of removing pages that were takedown requested" - (purposely not explaining the number or percentage or time or whatever )

well I have a couple of sites that get "dmca emails" a few times a month- they are not legit - but I can see they are emailing multiple addys, and I assume google is one of them - I do take down stuff people request - but they do not need to threaten dmca to get it done - just ask - and with those sites things are deleted automatically in time anyway..

But I wonder if google is adding a negative to those sites for that - I assume no way to find out.

If you have 1 device type and 1 software version then this might work. If you have multiple CPU architectures and multiple versions of your software this will likely not work.

I wish I would have known about this a while ago, lost my GSD over 2 years ago with spleen cancer at 11. Still Sprinting up stairs and playing with toys, up to the week before. Still am pissed how it ended.
That’s a really ameri-centric way of looking at things. “Only the US numbers hurt [because I’m in the US and only US people matter].
considering the intel macs spend their whole lives thermally throttled, i'm not suprised by the numbers.
Hmm. I have lived all my life in the United States. When I have been able to visit other countries, I have been in the habit of learning at least three verbal cues: "Please", "Thank you", and "Sorry".

The first two are often the same word or phrase, in asking for help or offering thanks. The third sound is usually when bumping into someone in a crowd, or in response to getting in someone's way. Or apologizing when it's taking a bit longer for me to understand a particular situation.

I have not traveled in Africa or Southeast Asia, so very likely that I am missing the point here. But I don't intend to take on the power to heal the whole world when I say "Sorry" with sincerity. I'm just trying to avoid becoming more of a problem.
They do link to CSV files though, which is nice. I'll take a shiny website and a linked .csv over a table-of-links to PDF files any day.
The open source projects that I can think of that violate section 1201 are doing it intentionally, like DeCSS and now this Widevine crack. There's no way for these projects to comply and they don't want to.

Being "on par with Python" performance-wise is not something to brag about.
Yes, like, for example, Apple. The US page details the law that governs disclosure, and how it only allows them to report ranges.
