Depending on your bandwidth (especially if you have an asymmetric connection like cable) using it as a router-on-a-stick with vlans should work.

On lower end hardware you'd probably get higher throughput over the single link than trying to add a USB LAN adapter to it.
There’s something beautiful here. Extortion/kidnapping transcends species, and the idea of negotiating ransom for 20 minutes with a monkey is just awesome in an animal crime kingdom sort of way. It’s just business.
Both companies still do good products though — they just aren’t marketing themselves well, I guess.

Evernote support sucks though. Last version has two annoying bugs which still haven’t been fixed since Christmas. But Notion is slooow and Nimbus Notes feels buggy —- I have hit sync bugs in the past and can get 50x errors from server easily, in addition to a random error about the slave being read-only. Both auto-fixed in 5 mins but still...

Everytime I sync something big (many files, many dirs) with Onedrive I feel the urge to check on the website of everything arrived. I don’t trust the UI, and neither this guy [1].
I am a bit more at ease with Google Drive - I use Insync - until I found out Insync was appending the suffix xml to files with xml contents.
Insync with OneDrive requires more testing - could be a good replacement but I must do more testing to see if the refusal to sync certain file types like PST and ONE [1] also exists.

I don't think you are necessarily disagreeing with what they are saying.

First of all, there are surely many people who influenced the creation and release of this feature and I don't think it would be accurate to assign a single motivation to all their work.

Second, I don't think it's wrong to say that "boneheaded management cutting corners" by prioritizing the needs of other internal teams over the needs of the user is in some sense them "wanting to own your Mac". Although that is a dramatic way to describe it.
Completely agree. The new electric Mustang seems like a pretty decent car (despite being a Mustang in name only), but the godawful screen stuck to the dash ruins it for me.

In the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, 11.9 million children live in poverty. This one lived in a shed while others are allowed to amass resources that could last for a hundred generations or could feed and shelter hundreds of thousands of people.

This is not competition. This is a sickness of character.
I think I come at this problem the opposite way to everyone that actually builds these products/tools. I want to mindmap and brainstorm all of the topics, and then take notes on them - preferably with a time component to that. Even more than that, I want to be able to take notes on the relationships between nodes, since that's where the real gold tends to be.

Mindmap tools generally don't work for this because they want a single topic for each map, and all the words on the one page. KM/KB tools don't work because I can't just draw the relationships between the points, I have to go in and actually create notes that I then get to visualise.

I really wanted to like Obsidian, but the way it treats folders puts me right off. I tried Neo4j Bloom, but there are UI difficulties and it's not really great for notes. I'd build it myself but I have no idea where I'd even start on a UI.
This seemed to be such a frequent problem that I have up on ARM SBCs (despite how cool they are).

Bought a cheap NUC with a disk and a BIOS and it is working like a champ - boots every time. I probably paid a little more but it's enough for my needs - a simple login and (occasional) DLNA server.

In short, it is one of the most influential books on humans being inherently bad and needing force to be otherwise. To take just the top of the Wikipedia article [0]:

"The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Written during the English Civil War (1642–1651), it argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could be avoided only by strong, undivided government."

The fact that this is the most assigned book at the "elite" institutions, and these are the people that end up in positions of corporate and government power, is troubling because of the philosophy that comes from this and what they feel they should do as power holders. Not to say this work isn't taught critically in universities or having some counterpoints elsewhere on this list, but it is still clearly influential and very much the way power is wielded.

(Edit: for context, I read Leviathan at one of those universities as a student. It is still a bedrock of political philosophy.)

(Edit 2: and no, please don't take this comment as some argument for "small government," it is not that at all)
The model would be something like

User --> VPN --> Tor --> Market

Assuming the VPN is trustworthy and you don't connect to Tor without it, the VPN would cover up the fact that you used Tor at all.

If you normally use the VPN, but forget it one time, you are now exposed.

Dials are way better than buttons. For one you need to find out up/down etc where as the dial is just one operation. Esp for things like volume and temperature adjustment.

Top top that dials/knobs are more reliable than buttons.

Wow, there really was a fake Trump model under a guillotine. I agree that major news outlets have become very polarized and lack critical reflection of their own reporting / party they support.

Still, Trump supporters have become quite removed from reality, and "liberal" outlets at least recognized Trump's insane hubris.
This makes the most sense. Ultimately an employee cannot have a company paying them more than the value they generate.

The value engineers for US companies generate is higher than the value engineers for EU/CAD companies generate, so they have a better bargaining position.

This is probably because US companies have a bigger market to start in, and have been more successful at expanding into other markets (including EU and CAD). The profit of tech companies is constrained by size of market addressed, not number of employees they hire.
Not even close. Lack of generics, object orientation, GUI-based companion tools, and (most importantly) a large vendor behind the language will prevent it from breaking out of the “scripting” space and into the “enterprise” space.

They can't though. Because if it was really open source, then another firm could just sell if for $3. Of course fabrication itself complicates things, but the gist remains.
We’re talking about upper middle class jobs though, not billionaires. Seems like giving SWEs more crumbs from the billionaires’ slices (because the alternative is that the investors and execs take the difference) is only going to reduce inequality. Which isn’t to say that this is optimal from a welfare perspective, only that enriching SWEs isn’t incompatible with lower inequality.

I think there's been some misunderstanding. If I'm understanding you correctly, you seem to believe that the issue is that I'm lonely, and it's not a bad assumption but it's not entirely correct. I grew up without friends, my parents forbade me from making friends from childhood until I was done university and by then for the most part I was, and still am, fine with being alone.

>Finally, if you must commit suicide, please do it so that it plausibly looks like an accident.

I had a few ideas, but the only semi feasible one I thought of so far was to mix heavy alcohol intoxication and hypothermia. Hypothermia is uncomfortable until you start loosing your mental faculties. The alcohol might be able to cover for the discomfort but I haven't tested that particular combination. And there's a slight concern about the poor sap that comes across my body.

Fentanyl overdose is probably the next option but I lack the necessary friends-of-friends to acquire some. And there isn't a way of testing the timing or potency against the time of arrival of EMT's that seem to carry Narcan in their pockets.

I'm open to hearing ideas if you have any though.
I disagree with the speed of an interpreted language. Ruby and Python (to a lesser extent) make writing flexible, readable code very, very easy. You don’t have to worry about types (unless you want to) and correctness; there are lots of ways of getting things done in those languages, and writing tests/mocks/stubs is WAY easier because of that.

In my experience, what would take me 30 lines of Ruby with maybe the same number of lines for its test takes 2x the length and boilerplate with Golang.

I still think the jQuery API is significantly easier than the DOM one. querySelectorAll() returns this NodeList object that's much harder to use than it needs to be. Things like getting the next sibling is much harder than jQuery's .next(), etc. etc.

I also don't care much for the fetch() API; I dislike promises and what does it send when you try to POST a JS object ({foo: 'val'})? [object Object]. Yeah, useful...

And even in 2021-jQuery, it still works around some browser bugs and inconsistencies, even in modern browsers. Much less than it used to, but not zero either.

I worked on an API that regularly got requests from the mobile app for GET /users/(null). I think that's Swift, or Obj-C's way of to-string'ing a null?

I have a generational suffix on my name. I often include it, and quite often as the proper Unicode character, e.g., "Ⅲ". (Assuming HN displays it after I post this, try to select it; that's one character.) That wreaks a fair bit of havoc.

When I was in high-school, I took physics. I was assigned to room, say, 309, to a teacher whose name I didn't recognize. But I knew the teacher in room 309, and she even taught physics. So, I approached her, and asked, "I've been assigned 'Ms. Stewart', but it lists her as being in your room. Do you know what the correct room number is, Ms. Cook?" Right room; it was her maiden name, of course.

In my company's HR system, we have to note some contacts, for things like life insurance payouts. My fiancée is one. Then we transitioned to a new system, and the data from the old system was migrated over. Now she's my "fiancÃ©e". (And in a separate system, she's a he, because there was no option for "fiancée", only "fiancé".) Similarly (and a long time ago) I had to fix a contact/directory system when it escaped a '. E.g., it would emit "Marie O\'Conner". PHP magic quotes… shudders

(Character encodings and anything outside of ASCII, in particular, are an unending fountain of bugs.)

Just today, Azure's support system can't handle (among many things) the outlandish characters of "<" or ">". Which is great fun, since it's not like anyone would file a highly-technical support request with Azure… right?

The missing hour in the DST spring-forward and the duplicate one on the fall-back are great hunting grounds for bugs, too. E.g., Google Calendar has issues with them.

We have a git branch prefix at work that triggers a special CI action. Let's call it "branchprefix/". Every now and then a dev will make a branch with "BranchPrefix/" and the OS X machines all start having issues since OS X's file hierarchy isn't case sensitive. (We've also had issues w/ two files, same name different case. git supports it, but OS X can't cope.)

(All the names in this post are changed from their originals, of course. But you get the idea.)

What you are describing sounds horrible. I’m living in Europe (Barcelona).
That's correct. A reasonable way to think of it is to calculate the cost of the thing that you're replacing every couple years, and the output it produces in that time. So the CPU producing line at <x>nm process, or whatever unit you choose. The building or site itself ("the fab") isn't the important thing.
To be fair, from a security standpoint if you want *the highest security* allowing third party installers is one of the first things I would disable as well.

I hope GP just used "aging" meaning "not brand new", it would scare me deeply if we started replacing cars the way we do smartphones.

Apple doesn't have to "fix issues identified during the beta period" much quicker than the release date.

No OS does, including FOSS distros / OSes.

Apple just has to fix "the most important issues" with the most bang for the buck identified during the beta period before release.

Which they do.

The ones they consider less important are put in a backlog.

You can find "issues identified during beta releases" still open and unfixed for all OSes, some even going 10 years back, long after the release was out...

Assuming the road isn't just a flat straight road all the time, there will be uphill and downhill drives. Turns, curves, and twists. All of which affect your FOV. The YouTube trailer didn't show the actual windshield, but a view recorded from a mounted camera.

I wonder how this will compare to a bad FPS gaming experience.

Having only tried Fossil for this briefly: do you have any recommendations? Viewing is pretty simple, and I agree about the portability / SQLite is a great fallback, but modifying is complex enough to keep me from adopting it.

E.g. I can't find a way to add files/images/make commits in the UI at all. I can make wiki pages or tickets in there (honestly, the wiki probably covers 99% of what I want, aside from it not being very streamlined to say the least), but I haven't found a way to add files except via `fossil add` on the CLI. Have I just missed it?

Otherwise, the main things keeping me from being more interested is that it's a large blob -> harder to sync, and there don't seem to be any mobile-friendly implementations (e.g. no app that just runs it). A folder of markdown files and images/etc to embed via `![](filename)` is dramatically easier and more flexible on both of those fronts... but I do miss having a history.
