I get a dozen issues a day across my projects. I used to respond to all of them daily, then I was so burned out from that chore that I don’t even read my notifications anymore.

Funny how people here think it’s just basic human decency to spend an hour of my time each day responding to people who managed to click a submit button. For every HNer here bragging about how thoughtful their issues are, there are 100s of low effort issues from people who won’t even respond to a follow up.

Running popular projects has shown me there’s no “free” in open source just because literal money isn’t exchanging hands. It’s basically a ddos of your time.

Github needs a feature where you can attach a tip to your issue to compensate the maintainer. I get so much
low effort garbage that I would set a $10 minimum on my most popular projects.

People here think bug reports are free labor. What they would know if they ran a project is that most bug reports, even with an issue template, are “it doesnt work wtf.”
The filesystem (ext4) should handle power failures just fine, so a more expensive SD card might do you well. There's a reason some are 5x the price of the cheap ones.
Every single vintage effect misses out on one crucial factor - Resolution. Vintage films (even when scanned in 4K) do not have the same type of aliasing and sharpening aspects that digital cameras have. This effect is what “makes” it vintage for me.

If you haven’t seen, Apollo (2019) documentary is simply stunning and even though it’s in 4K, it appears vintage.
> Sever the internet connection to certain, key nations.

And to nations that have connections to those key nations, right? Because encryption and steganography and VPNs all exist, and the amount of dangerous foreign propaganda in tweets is probably only being generated at a few bytes per minute.

Someone should write a techno-thriller set in your alternate universe where spies are investigating a WiFi connection between north and south Cyprus, with the endpoint in the north connecting via Turkey to Russia, and the endpoint in the south connecting via Ireland to the US. It could be a fun read if you can suspend disbelief.
Totally agree. I by no means think all PRs or issues are equal. That's basically what I'm irritated about with this post! The new attitude that I hate is treating everything as crap, spam, or entitlement. Politely refuse low effort and unuseful PRs. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
So you take issue with condemnation of an entire group and then do it yourself immediately afterward?

Saying engineers are bad at design is fine. Most people are bad at things they don't practice, and we know most engineers don't practice design.

Saying UX/UI designers (two separate groups with totally different backgrounds) are bad at design is maligning an entire field and suggesting a team hierarchy where engineers make all decisions.
My country's constitution nor the EU have such claims anywhere. The UN can say whatever it wants, it's not an authority here.
I'd heard somewhere that the idea that the national grid would need upgraded is vastly overstated but doing some back of the envelope maths does seem like it could potentially be a problem.

My workings were 32 million licenced cars, 40kwh each (obviously bigger batteries are already available but you'd hope not every car would need charged from scratch). Works out as over 1000gwh, you'd have say 10 hours to charge them so you could bring that down to 100gw. Average electrical consumption in the UK is about 30gw. I appreciate it's a gross over estimate as most cars won't do nearly that many miles every day.

Average mileage in the UK is typically around 10k miles. A 40kw battery nets somewhere around 200 miles, so needs to be fully charged perhaps once per week on average. That cuts the above significantly but it's still of the order of the UK's current average consumption.
Because anonymous leaks are the way the UK government announce policy decisions...
> All new street lights (as of a couple of years ago) have to have charging points built-in […]

If anyone wants to see an example of light pole charging, the Fully Charged YT channel had an episode of one example:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKaEhBjt1ls

See also pop-up chargers for streets without poles:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frkw6aurVUY
The Uk is making decent progress on this already. I live in a London suburb and there’s been a huge rollout of charging points already - within a few hundred meters of my flat there are at least 6 high voltage charging points. There’s also a big rollout of charging points built into existing lampposts - by tapping existing power lines these are very cheap to install. The chargers are run by a few different networks but you pay for usage so it’s quite possible to just sign up to them all and carry 2 or 3 cables.
You can do a clean install on modern Macs using USB media:

Qanon – It's Time for a Rebrand
The protagonist of the Qanon brand story has been written out. Part one of this Qanon rebrand series explains what's happening and offers a template for Qanon's next steps.
"This is just a minor detail and I'm sure the government will sort it out, they have 10 years to do it after all!"

is probably their deceptive response.
According to [0] the UK actually does not need to upgrade the network. I would also check [1] - the government task force that coordinates this. This is also interesting article: [2]. The company I work for is also engaged in a project that would allow using fleet of EVs as a power storage. (e.g. buying energy when it is cheap - during wind peaks and selling when it is expensive, but I dont know much about that project.)

I hope you realize the posting was about how the same factual basis and assumptions can be used to support the opposite conclusion, not about me or my personal standpoint and the developer.

That said: Actually, if you think about it: It is. Both to me AND to the developer.

If the developer treats my time as precious, and enables me to skip his software altogether or to use it without having issues, then I will waste zero of his time. I will also waste less of my own time, but that is probably less important from their perspective. Since there is one of them and hundreds or more of me, this pays dividends very quickly for them.
Thank you. Please let me know if you found any bugs or if you'd like to see a new feature.

Hi again, author here!

I am so pleased to see your interest, thanks a lot! I have addressed a few points here, and just updated the repo, so please keep that in mind while browsing the comments:

1. Some people found the README a bit arrogant/bratty --- which I agree, sorry! --- so I have edited it.

2. Some people found it clickbait-y it says Python whereas there are two C libraries (uvloop, and hiredis) for heavy-lifting the event loop and parsing (respectively.) I have added this fact as a disclaimer in the README, and ultimately it is up to you to decide whether that counts as cheating or not. :)

3. I have addressed some major correctness issues too (#12) but it is not 100% correct still.

4. This is a proof-of-concept that I wrote in a day (+ spent today fixing some bugs) that you are comparing to an 11 years old industry-grade software. =) Don't take the experiment too seriously!

Kindly,

Bora
Excellent point. Perhaps, a blurring filter would help with that.
This has nothing to do with Tesla, and the Top Gear EV story (from 10 years ago? technology may have improved slightly) was entirely fabricated. So much so that Tesla had to sue.
If you can parse out his crimes, you might like Ted Kaczynski's work. There's a fair bit of crossover with respect to technology.
Far more important than a charging station network is investment in on-street charging for people who don't have access to a garage.
I've used street light charging for a few years now in zone 2 in London. Works great.

A Hero
When management becomes separated from both the people at the coalface (the people actually doing the jobs the organisation needs to do) and the founders/president/CEO, then behaviour changes. In most organisations, this is at 3 layers of management
(not including the actual workers and the top management layer, so 5 layers deep for the whole organisation). After this point, presentation and political acumen outweigh all other factors for the middle management layer, because all other factors can always be "spun" to look good, or blamed on a scapegoat, etc. - there's no direct link between what the middle-manager did and what the result was, so presentation matters more.

Once that happens, the organisation will promote people who do politics well. It's only a matter of time before the entire organisation is focused on internal politics (apart from the people actually doing the work, who become pawns in political moves). As the organisation grows and the layers expand and more layers of management become disconnected, it gets worse.

In a company, eventually the company will get disrupted and die off. In a government that's not a thing, and it'll just keep expanding and playing politics. This gets worse for government departments headed by a politician, because the politician is very focused on getting something they can boast about to their electorate in the few years they have in the department. And they're usually very familiar with the kinds of political games being played.

This sounds like fake news.

I doubt the first thing that Parler did was censor anyone, they probably first sent out advertisements to tell people of their existence.
Same situation anywhere else. Can't they build more streetside charge points?
Parler censors energetically also, it's just that it's owned by Breitbart rather than amoral profit-seeking VCs. The VCs censor whatever gets anyone upset, especially powerful people who can cause them legislative, legal, or tax trouble. Parler's owners censor sex and other things that don't agree with their ideological line, probably anti-racism, anti-military/police and positive depictions of the socialized functions of government (which can probably all be neatly grouped under "terrorism.")
Earlier this year I started discussing and creating side projects with my life partner. We took some simple idea we had in mind and tried to create a mobile application that we thought we be nice to have. That was really nice, and we now spend a few hours every week discussing it and doing a bit of work on new features or bug fixes.

Sharing a hobby like this was something new for us, and it works surprisingly well. At the beginning it felt like work and was a bit tensed, but we are now at a point where it feels just very nice to spend a bit of time on the project when we feel like it. We don't treat it as a business, so I guess that helps.

It's not something for every couple, but that worked for us during the past few months. And we started a more complex project since then.

In case someone is interested, the app is named "HabitCat" and is a simple way to track habits. Nothing very original, but as I said, we made it because we like to work on it together :)

OP here.

The upgrade god has been kind to me for many a year, so I decided to YOLO a Bir Sur upgrade on one of my machines. Ended up immediately running into this problem.

I use Proxifier[1] to tame a few apps that don't support proxies or respect system proxy settings. Proxifier used to be kext-based; apparently they have to switch to NetworkExtension for Big Sur. They already have a new version out, but turns out whenever this new NE-based Proxifier is running, I can't bind any process to any port; the failure is always errno 41 EPROTOTYPE: Protocol wrong type for socket.

I managed to find the submitted Apple Developer Forums thread for this exact problem. Apparently Apple was aware of this issue as least on Sep 24 (according to post timestamp), yet failed to fix this pretty terrible bug. The proposed workaround — only binding to one port — is obviously pretty useless for a general purpose proxy tool. Not sure what can be done. I'd say they probably should have spent the time on preventing showstopper bugs like this instead of implementing ContentFilterExclusionList for NetworkExtension.

If anyone working at Apple on NetworkExtension happens to be reading this, please, please take a look at this bug, thank you. If anyone else working at Apple can somehow bring this to the relevant team's attention, it would be awesome. Everyone else, spread the word? Appreciated.

From the last slides, they are turning VLC into another iTunes.

Too bad. I liked having a player that emphasized playing "files" instead of loading everything into some opaque "media library" first.

Let's see how long it takes before the monetization of the new "iTunes VLC" kicks in.
I'm in the UK, but was going to say the same thing. I agree with the GP - drinking while driving, or even just the idea of drive-through coffee, are very American things.
My Nissan LEAF (pure EV) is almost 6 years old. It's going to be near-valueless (selling for parts) within another 6 years due to battery degradation [and not starting with that much range in the first place]. That's after one major battery-out warranty repair by Nissan already.

The last two ICE cars I had, I bought them when they were 12 and 9 years old, rather than planning how to get them parted out at that age. I've very much enjoyed having an EV (especially as the guy who turns the wrenches), but they don't last anywhere near as long as ICE cars without major infusions of cash for the battery.

My next car is very likely to be another 6-10 year-old ICE car where I'd probably never consider buying a 6-10 year-old pure EV.
I was interested in reading politics but not Trump stuff. Adding a Trump filter in /r/politics removed 95% of all posts on the front page. It's wild
I don't know the precise UK numbers, but a complete switch to electric cars would mean 20% more electricity consumed from the grid. This is not a huge increase, in most places the grid should be completely fine to sustain the extra load. Especially, as car charging is wonderful for grid balancing, you mostly wouldn't do it in the moments of highest grid demand.
Yes, residential electricity consumption would about double, but that isn't a huge challenge for the grids either. The biggest change would be adding some more transformers which provide the 230V to households. But as the changeover to electric cars will take like 20 years, this is absolutely doable - and in Germany the electric providers started already the planning.
This is how policy is proposed these days. “Anonymous sources” brief friendly reporters, who float it in the mainstream. If it gets shot down, the big speech is replaced with a neutral one; if obvious gotchas are pointed out, the speech is tweaked to pre-empt them; otherwise, the speech happens, friendly reporters are happy, and the policy basically is set out to get on the books as a non-event - which is a big win for a government.
> The very idea that we need to suppress ideas for fear that the ignorant masses may be exposed to them is a fatuous, aspirational elitism that is the very reason the platforms have become stagnant.

There are ideas and then there are lies. I think the problem is the lies, not the ideas. If an idea, like that the Earth is flat, can only find support in lies, the idea will go away if people aren't free to lie.

To be clear, a lie is a proposition insincerely asserted with the intention of causing others to sincerely believe it.
Yes. My point is that an electrician who ignores (or isn’t aware of) NEC rules isn’t anyone I’d let near my home’s electrical wiring. Almost all NEC rules are for safety.
I would happily pay an extra $100-$200 for them to get a better processor, wifi, and bluetooth in there if it were possible. All the performance of everything running just looks so slow. I really do want to support these things, but even opening up a text editor took seconds on videos I've seen.
In UK? It's a small island. It's already fixed unless you buy a city car.
How many daily users? How many posts/orders/sales per day? (that one depends on what your company sells or does)
How many GB of traffic?

How many people did you work with in your team/department? If you provide internal or public libraries, to how many developers?

I don't think it's shocking to have a line "Worked in the web team with a total of 4 developers in charge of the website of the company (react), backend API (nodeJS), and the Android application."
Poor people have much lower car ownership to begin with. It's irrelevant for most of them.

If you want to do traffic policy for the poor the best you can do is making walking safer.
I’m not sure how exact to read this, but I’m curious how it differs from the Signal protocol.
Longtime Rubyist here (but I haven't used it in the past few years).

I think that Ruby is almost perfect, so when I see headlines about Ruby 3 I usually think to myself "Uh-oh, monumental, eh? How did they ruin it?"

But in reality I think it's a good update, although perhaps not as "monumental" as shocking headlines call it.

> Ruby 3 is Fast

This seems like an answer to the common Ruby naysayer's chant: "But Ruby is slooow". We shouldn't pay attention to those people anyway. They don't understand the speed/expressability tradeoff, or are just trolling.

Why should we want "fast"? Is your ruby app doing a lot of processing? Well, it shouldn't be. That's what C++ gems are for. Go use them. You'll never be even a fraction as fast as C++, so while meager improvements are good, don't bet the company on Ruby getting faster in 4.0 and 5.0.

> Ruby 3 is Easy

Really confused by this one. Was there a problem with RVM? Was RVM not easy? What is this "gem dependency hell"? This sounds like it was totally fabricated to have another bullet point in the list. Also how is the "fancy-pants" RVM/rbenv-clone going to help with "praying a gem compiles"? Does it use a smarter C++ compiler? (Joking)

> Ruby 3 is Sleek

These are just reasons Ruby is sleek, even Ruby 1.0! Nothing related to v3 here.

> Ruby 3 is Here to Stay

This is obvious. But the real point here in this subsection seems to be that Ruby 3 has new features. But what?

I think you can trigger that on any account that hasn't bit the bullet and send in copies of their identification papers by telling Facebook the user is using a fake name. I am surprised no national government has stepped to tell Facebook to desist.
I would say you're not looking wide enough here. Absolute free speech isn't a problem in isolation by any means; but there are impacts to the ability of that to grow into self-reinforcing belief that doesn't match reality. One appears harmless, like a single alpha particle; but the other is an impact akin to an alpha particle chain reaction, or nuclear explosion. Similar impact on society, I would argue.

Could we conceive of a way not to control speech, but to inform or educate or provide information in context--or do something, anything so that it doesn't have the power to self-reinforce and create psychological weapons of mass destruction? What if it's the design of our current social networks around instant engagement and addictive content that's the root of the problem? Could we change the nature and design of that platform without restricting the speech on it whatsoever?

I have to believe it's possible. I'm under no illusion that I know the answer, or that the answer is even something that we have a name for yet. This is not contradictory or incoherent, it's just yet unknown.
No, they probably came up with the name before that, and had discussions about starting a twitter competitor even earlier. I can pretend to miss the point by an even wider mark without even trying.
The problem with just raising the fuel taxes sky high is that the poorest part of the population is struck the hardest, they can't just buy a new electric car and have no way to avoid the fuel costs.
If you dump some personal code of yours in a public place (which you would have written anyway) can it be really called a donation?

If you don't plan on even considering ongoing issues that are well documented, can you call oneself a "Maintainer"?

It would be very useful to a-priori distinguish the expectations for a given repo, is it "I dumped my personal code, don't bother me" or "this is a maintained project"?
Oil well Fire in remote area took 5 months to douse
I haven't used Twitter or Facebook since about 2007. People say they need to use these platforms to stay on top of what's happening in the world, but I have not found that to be true at all. If something is important, I hear about it about an hour after everyone else, and then read up on it if I want to.

What gets thrown out by that filter is all the inconsequential news, and gossip, and speculation, and learning people's knee-jerk reactions before you've had a chance to make up your own mind. You can still seek out all that stuff if you have the impulse, but you aren't being fed it intravenously all the time.

This is all by way of saying that the cost of just cutting these platforms out of your life altogether is pretty low, and there are some benefits.
No. That’s a get rich slow scheme.
