If I had a dollar for every WYSIWYG web dev tool that bit the dust, I'd be able to single-handedly finance this round.
Before the downvotes: I get it. Webflow is a nice tool. So was Dreamweaver when it appeared. And everything in between. This is an iterative process, with once tool better than the previous.
Maybe Webflow will be the one to make non-trivial WYSIWYG work - but after having used it, I'm not betting on it. Their price point is also a little high for small teams, but that is less relevant to my main gripe here.

Yes. The Bloomberg reporting suggested the goal was to be a steering wheel absent living room on wheels.
To be fair, python has many robust features beyond gc. For example, dicts, which are bread and butter for python abstract away 1000s of lines of C, which leads to very confused students when they first see errors like 'unhashable type: list'. Encountering leaky abstractions always made me uncomfortable when I took my first classes, but for a very first class its still probably better than dealing with memory allocation in C depending on what one expects from an intro class.

> Apple wouldn't be going down this route if it didn't expect to grow market share

Marketshare is not what Apple is about. Apple is about profitability and control. Their move to own silicon is driven by improvements in the reliability of their build pipeline (no more waiting for tic-tocs and whatnot) and tighter control / integration of their whole stack (same arch on phones and pc). That these chips happen to perform so well that they are potential market-growers, is a welcome coincidence.

> No, Apple won't make me jump through hoops - the better plan is to DUMP apple if they refuse to value their customers needs.

This was exactly what I suggested: if you’re paranoid about Apple’s intentions, switch OSes. Your level of distrust is never going to be satisfied by the decisions they make with the other 99.9999% of their customers in mind.
I'm lucky that before Covid I was able to walk to work so I was never bound by traffic or transportation schedules, but I definitely have friends and coworkers who "miss their bus" so they'll get home after their kids are down.

(For those of you without kids, a lot of pre-schoolers go to bed at 7.)
I get that Workaholism is a form of escapism for many people, but that's not necessarily the case for everyone. I personally become depressed if I cannot work on something important and potentially valuable, feeling that the days pass without meaning.

I spend lots of time with my kid because I see that as important. I set aside time to get enough sleep so that I can remain productive. But I hate weekends (unless at the park with my kid), I hate shopping, and I hate vacations. I think I avoid burnout because I don't waste time on meaningless tasks. Life is too short, and I want to accomplish a lot
At $679, that's more than "a little pricey" to me at least.

Yes, it means Dropbox will pay you the cost of 6 months of COBRA. So let's say your premium is $1500/mo, Dropbox is going to give you up to $9k.

Ask HN: 37% paycut to escape software burnout
[trying, but failing, to keep it short - bear with me]

me: mid-30's, dad to 3, software engineer and mentally ill for over 20 years

situation: been "doing career" for 7 years in software engineering, advancing to 100k a year but sacrificing myself in the meantime (anxiety and suffering from schizotypal disorder)

effect: my mental condition and quality of life has been steadily worsening over the years but since i began "careering" its become worse to the point of not living home anymore and basically "just working" and being exhausted to the point of not being the great dad i want to be.

choice: a new job has been posted: be a tech at a museum, earn 37% less, flexible and reduced working hours and stress, work close to home, be part of creative development of exhibitions etc.

i am very much thinking that those 37% is easy to "sacrifice" for the opportunity of not feeling i am rapidly decaying but it also seems like a "shutting the door behind me" to a skillset i've been developing since age 7 to me now doing data engineering.
See, its easier to accuse people of bigotry than look at their actual problems. Trump didn't win because the modern left sucked hard at actually helping the poor, they did because they were gaslighted by bigots.

I only use about 70GB right now; 2TB is as much as I could imagine ever needing.

That 70GB includes a modest collection of music from before the streaming era, a few videos, backups of old documents, Blender projects, Unity projects, a backup of all my photos from my phone (from the past few years), a couple archives of family photos (from the past few decades). I also back up product licenses and shell profiles there, for easy setup of new machines (which I highly recommend). The only important files that don't go in my Dropbox are my actual code projects, since those live on GitHub.

I use a whole lot more space than that when it comes to software, of course - Steam games, in particular - but there's no reason to put any of that on Dropbox because it can be trivially re-downloaded. I have 4TB of disk space on my desktop, but nearly everything outside of that 70GB is a glorified cache.

I honestly can't fathom how I would utilize 42TB of backed-up data storage, unless I decided to start torrenting. And anyway, a local NAS won't do me much good if the house burns down or gets broken-into. A cloud storage solution that presumably gets replicated across multiple data centers, and also mirrors local copies on all of my devices, is the most durable data storage solution I can imagine.
Pretty interesting that you map this mentality to Buddhism, when I knew it from Stoicism.

Except for cost... which has been a problem for the BeagleBoard line of SBC's since the beginning. They actually predated the original Raspberry Pi by a couple of years but when the Pi came in at ~25% of the cost, they caught up and overtook the BeagleBoard in popularity fast. The BeagleV looks interesting from an early adopter standpoint but the hobbyist market will probably standardize around whatever decent RISC-V board comes in at sub-$50 first.
I churned when Dropbox started removing features and asking for more money. e.g. limits on number of devices, more frequent nags, forcing me to unlink devices that had already been linked. I'm not going to be bullied into being a paying customer.

Yes! If I'd just been fired, the last thing I would care about are their feelings, and how my firing is part of the "strategic goal" I am no longer involved in.

He also mentioned taking full responsibility. That line should have been followed by how he did that. Pay reduction for himself? Upper management?
Migrated from Dropbox when I noticed that their client uses about 300 Mb of memory on Windows and my old laptop with HDD was terribly slow just right after booting. WTF? Is it really necessary 300Mb of memory to just sync my files to the cloud?

Drew has always been this self-centered. About a year ago he got up in front of the whole company to whine about how engineers are eating too many potato chips from the kitchen, announcing "belt tightening". Completely ridiculous statements from a multibillionaire.

Around the same time the company paid out very little of nominal bonus plan. I quit over the bonus fiasco and many other people in my area left at the same time for the same reason.

I can understand your argument if you say education in Europe should be paid for some people as residents of the country pay taxes. You don't have to be vitriolic to make that point.
I tend to agree. File sync was a product 10+ years ago, but has become so commoditized that it is more of a pack-in feature now. Then again, I thought the same thing about chat and web meetings 10 years ago and that keeps getting reinvented.
Increase Chances of New Offer as Developer
There's two completely different problems.

1. Someone who is motivated, and who has the talent and/or background to be able to grasp the material. How do we prove that they learned it? How do we prove it in a way that a credential-driven society will accept? (Especially, how do we do it for a fully online college degree?)

2. Someone who is not motivated, or who does not have the tools to grasp the material. How do we detect that they're floundering or giving up? How do we keep them from falling through the cracks?

Those are two completely different problems. I could see solving the first one with testing - you pass the test, you pass the class. The problem is getting society to accept the credential as meaning the same as an in-person class or degree. Western Governors University uses this approach; I don't know whether or not the outside world views their degrees as "real" degrees.

To my way of thinking, the second problem is harder. You can't solve it with technology. You need human intervention, preferably from humans that the student has a connection to, and that are talented enough in teaching to know how to help. I have no clue how to handle that remotely. If the parents aren't those people, then... what?
I’ve dithered on the UDM-P, the reviews are very mixed.

I’m in a strange place with UniFi as a whole, as my APs are limiting download speeds to about 275mbps while upload speed is line speed, as is wired speed. There is lots on forums and Reddit about strange issues like this with Ubiquiti and they could really do with some firming up of their software.
If the fund will not preclude any races then that of course settles it, but I think many got the impression that this program does preclude some groups.

Regarding your second point, it is bot really relevant and if the project will “deliver returns” or not. Setting up a program that explicitly only invests in anglo-american harvard grads would probably give good returns too, but it would still be pretty racist.
This is too early to say but i am keeping my hopes with Apple car reasonable. I doubt they can reach Tesla level vertically integrated manufacturing capability without a similar culture. Tesla in 2023 itself is going to be on a different level as the new cells, structural design and probably a few acquisitions in mining work out.

But, competition is good and the richest corporation in the world can hopefully create something new and help accelerate the transition to EV based systems.

It will be difficult to ignore autonomy for regulators when all the big cos in the world have very good working versions and pressurize them at least for urban areas.

You're correct, in that given a board state the right move can always be exhaustively computed, because the game has no randomness or hidden information. But enough computing power doesn't exist on the planet to iterate through all the possible states.

The word you're looking for is "deterministic", rather than solved. Solved is usually used to mean the exhaustive computation has been done. Deterministic would mean it could be if enough computing power existed, but for chess it doesn't.
I think a 3 wheel car is just pragmatically worse than a 4 wheel one. It would also be "uncool" which would make it really far off-brand for Apple.

If it's intended to take you on roughly the same trips that a normal car is (to the grocery store/work/school/whatever generally 30+ minutes away) it basically will necessarily just be something that looks a lot like a regular car.
Yeah, but only at datacenter scales.

There's a challenging to use UI that has become part of the installation process on recent updates. Most of the time it tries to advertise to me that I need to use Dropbox Paper rather than making it easy to copy/manage folders from external sources. (I need to do a bit more than just manage files/folders, like handle external shares, so I have to use the UI they provide for doing this.)
That's exactly what they mean. 6 months of cobra subsidization.
It's always, always, always foolish to bet against Apple nowadays.

But for the life of me I can't see this car being anything other than mildly interesting unless it can fly.

You're absolutely bang-on with the cultural dependence thing. Here, in Europe (although this seems to be changing), it's normal to work fewer hours than would be customary in North America. So, your threshold for 'workaholism' would be lower.

I'm not sure if this is a Western thing or whatever it might be, but for some reason a lot of social science researchers neglect to mention that their research is done on a specific cultural group. You could say "... in the US" for this title, but I rarely see this done.
I’ve been developing for Linux using Macs for the last 12 years or so.

At first I was really into setting up everything just-so on the Mac, with an environment so closely mirroring the production servers that I was confident I could deploy stuff from there to staging.

But in the last few years, I ended up just having a reproducible set of dev and stage-like Docker containers. That way I can do all my coding in my nice shiny Apple UI, and all the build/test/run stuff happens in a place I have full control over.

This probably doesn’t solve everyone’s problems but for me it was the best way to have my Linux cake and eat my candy Apple too.

And yeah, the ZSH thing was super annoying.

Home schooling – How to stay secure
I remember around 2006-2009 playing with this wireless router. I thought back then it was pretty cool, an enterprisey colored device with cisco logo on the front.

That was the first time I learned about networking. Did pretty standard setting, like dhcp server and ip address of the port. We also put it on the point to point wireless network with the range of 10s KM, using grid antennas.

That was quite early in Indonesian internet scene.

“Sogen Kato was believed to be the oldest man in Tokyo up until 2010 when officials finally entered his apartment and realized that he had died at the age of 79 in 1978. His death had been kept a secret by his family who were collecting his pension. This lead to a huge search for all people over 100 years, and it turned out that Japan couldn't document the whereabouts of 234,354 supposed centenarians.”
An alternative to full air-gapping is gateways that pass only the traffic they're supposed to.

One example: For many years before they were bought by HP, Compaq's mail system had a regular Internet-connected SMTP MTA that fed two back-to-back hardwired uucp MTAs that connected to another SMTP MTA that fed their internal network. This was the early days of the public Internet, and they didn't want to have to trust that their SMTP MTA was secure, so they just made sure nothing but mail could ever get through their mail pipeline.

It's awkward and a bit of a pain to set up and manage, but enterprise companies have the resources to do things like that. And it did actually provide state-of-the-art email security for its time.

(FWIW, I didn't work with Compaq, but compared notes with their network architect on an occasional basis...)

Alternative title to this thread is "Plaid fails to sell customer data to Visa" (along with code, and the rest of the company). Consumers, as well as Plaid, have no idea where this data is going to end up ultimately, depending on who winds up getting control of Plaid. What are the odds of Private Equity acquiring Plaid and "leveraging synergies" with the pay-day loan company in their portfolio? I think the odds are greater than zero.

more importantly, it won't get you the precise 11% you want to get rid of.
Same here - a price increase makes you reconsider the relationship you've got with the service you're using. Companies should strongly consider leaving existing customers alone with legacy plans rather than aiming to extract as much revenue as possible.

For me Dropbox didn't do that, so instead of happily leaving our existing business account for most team members - we re-evaluated our usage of it, limited it to just a few accounts with the aim of getting rid of it entirely.

At that point it's not something you'd consider recommending it in passing to other people.
I like my job but only for the contractual 8 hours a day. Nevertheless, I had a "this sucks and it's completely out of my control" moment recently and threw a bunch more time (and money) into making music. In part making music's always been an emotional regulator for me, but this time it was a very deliberate escape to fill my mind with composing so I don't leave myself space to think about the thing I don't want to think about.

So I think escapist workaholism needn't necessarily be for the boss man. Anything will do the job as long as it's sufficiently consuming.
Pick between the news headlines:

* Apple car found to have transported terrorists to sabotage Capitol building. Should those with morals be boycotting Apple?

* Apple refuses service to terrorists. Apple tries to hold the country together and keep peace.

If you were Apple, and had to pick between those headlines, which would you pick? When your company is built on your brand, it is suicide to associate yourself with something unpopular.

On the topic of how wondrous technologies become mundane, I find it amazing how we surpassed some of the magic from Harry Potter, and no one is impressed.

The first book was published in 1997. The characters have very handy magic wands, which among other things can be used as flashlights. They can send magical letters (howlers) that can yell at someone in the sender's voice.

Fast forward to 2021, and suddenly everyone is walking around with a fancy tool in their pocket that can be a flashlight, instantly video chat with people, and answer questions on nearly any topic.

Even the offensive spells seem inferior to modern weapons. The wizards have to recite an incantation for every shot, while assault rifles can spray 900 rounds per minute.

"...Bitcoin was designed to have a fixed number of coins — it will have 21.5 million coins as of 2040, and then no more"

Maybe just a typo, but really it's 21 million by 2140. Estimates say that over 3 million have been lost forever, so more like 18 million, but Bitcoin will be mined for another 120 years. After that, miners will simply be paid in transaction fees.

Every Bitcoin critic seems to get tied up on how "it's not a currency" equates to failure. While this is true today, I don't see why that matters when it has other useful properties. Saying it's not a currency, even when the founders intended it to be that way, misses a couple points:

1. This is Satoshi's vision, but ultimately Bitcoin will be used however holders see fit, and today it's more Store Of Value and hedge against inflation than currency, which is still incredibly useful.

2. It's software that can be updated, and there are second-layer solutions in the works that will allow it to behave more like a currency (Lightning Network).
Or the opposite, mobile homes.
>I said I don't care because "works for me"

I know. But then I wonder why you ask the question if you don't care about the answers.

>and anyways you can configure it to be less annoying

which was and is plain wrong. Since it doesn't change the textbox behaviour at all. It's still all in one box. That makes me wonder if you even use Mumble.

>Furthermore I suggested just using another text chat option parallel to Mumble which better suits your needs, because why not?

Because running multiple programs is not the solution to this. Say somebody wants to join your Mumble server. Now in order to send text messages, that person also has to join/download/install another application. While Mumble itself could be sufficient.
Sounds like Biden is definitely planning it, if nothing else.
More than losing the people who have the best prospects, you lose the ones that feels the least connected to the company. Even if you have many other prospects, if you still feel strongly for the company you work, you'll probably stay. The ones that leaves if you ask them to, wouldn't have stayed for very long anyway.
