I can't imagine anyone on the old internet agreeing with forcing someone to publish something. Server owner decides - it was that from the beginning. Sometimes there were kicks and bans for no reason whatsoever - that's life.

I know nothing about biology either, but I'm guessing some spores survived the boiling and simply passed through the cotton.
how often do you actually go back through the history? Apply the Kondo technique: thank the messages for their service, and let go.

Not totally being flippant; I understand the sentiment but it seems similar to the hoarder instinct.
Fair enough! I have run into an annoying number of issues that were because the flags for `cp` varied from mac to other *nix systems, which was very annoying to debug.
There has previously been inconsistency between the documentation and practice, with Apple staff clarifying things contrary to the documentation.

If this has changed for the better, it has changed very recently.

Show HN: Local development environments in minutes
I've actually spent about 25 years writing software on Windows, mostly desktop. Stuff breaks all the time and getting it fixed is nigh on impossible even if you happen to be a partner with contract.

What is claimed to be backwards compatibility is only partially true; reality is that bugs and their workarounds will exist forever.

As for Linux and breaking userspace, that's the kernel interface which is stable, not the whole distribution. I really wish people would report that honestly. NT's API is stable too. It doesn't mean Gtk and ComCtl32 doesn't have abhorrent stability problems and bugs in them.

The issue is, on all platforms, the thousands of libraries each containing hundreds of calls and data structures.

I'd love to find a compact router/machine that has SFP/Gigabit switch and optionally PoE capability with pfSense support.

Sadly, my annoying Mikrotik is the only thing I've found until now :(
You can buy a new WRT today that supports FOSS firmware out of the box - https://www.linksys.com/us/wireless-routers/c/wrt-wireless-r...

And yet Linksys (and others) still sell their closed routers as well. One can only concluded that the Open Source support, while important for a niche group, is not enough for market dominance...
That was pretty cool, and at just the right length.. Thank you and good luck with making games!
TFA doesn't say it came due to a search for "strategic alternatives."

It says "Dan Loeb's Third Point hedge fund in December urged Intel's board to explore "strategic alternatives."

That is typical hedge fund pressure attempting to squeeze (short term) money out of their investment. The article has two more paragraphs consisting of the hedge fund's cheap shot quotes.

It isn't clear Intel's board succumbed to the hedge fund pressure. Changing the CEO from a finance-oriented CEO to a technically-oriented CEO (Gelsinger) is taking Intel back to its roots rather than "exploring strategic alternatives." Intel was founded and lead for many years by technically-oriented CEOs.

Grew up a city kid in India, and even then rat snakes weren't unusual. An occasional cobra as well, but they never seemed to bother people and I never heard of anybody that got bitten. In university I had baby vipers crawl in through the window during rainstorms... they were more freaked out than I was.
Sounds to me like we need a search aggregator like we had back in the good ole Web 1.0 days.
My only complaint here is that it looks like after a while it recycles through the names - it should probably take you to a summary page once you reach the end of all the questions.
Oh sure, that would be extremely difficult for lots of reasons. But I took OP to be asking in good faith if those difficulties could be surpassed, not assuming they could be.
Those are really more like employees than customers. The chief difference here is that a customer can easily take their business elsewhere, and has no use for a union, but an employee can not.
One of the best parts of OSS is that if the maintainers don't have the time or the priorities to solve your problem you can fix it yourself and get your change upstream, or fork it. It blows my mind that some people can take OSS for granted.

I think you both agree.

Unfortunately what is good for consumers in this case is bad for companies, because it reduces long term sales.
There is the other issue that Windows is full of spyware. Most of the mac's telemetry is inadvertent and leaks much less data to the OS vendor.

Smith's *Gödel Without (Too Many) Tears* book is now free PDF
To elevate the kind of radical violent conspiratorial fringe that needs a separate platform to the status of "one side" of an implicitly two sided debate does a gross disservice to the variety of political opinion, and to the many reasonable conservative viewpoints that run into no difficulties expressing themselves in a more open forum like e.g. Twitter.
Tangent: I also want a coach & nudge app.

I have chemobrain (and other stuff, TMI). So my mind wanders. I need nudges to get back on track. Like a reverse pomodomo. I used to have a remarkable internal clock (always know time of day, track elapsed time, without looking at watch). Well, no more.

Example 1: An inactivity timer. Like the builtin reminder to standup and stretch. Once or twice a day, I just have to sit down. I'll pop some pain pills then veg until they kick in (30-45 min). I never remember to set a timer, alarm. I want my phone to notice I've been vegging for an hour and remind me to start moving.

Example 2: Time to stop. I'll start doing a mindless task, usually physical. Like weeding or picking up litter. It's super gratifying. But then I'll overdo it. I want my phone to notice I've been stuck on the same task for too long.
Noscript + ublock origin fixed that for me.
Are there any open source time trackers for teams?
MBB is typically hiring because you already have communication strengths. Half the interview is technical, the other half is about structured communication and synthesizing "so whats" for a CIO-level audience.

I'd actually question whether working on communication skills is the right move? If you find it intrinsically valuable (i.e., it's a personal growth goal to be less introverted and a better communicator) then please listen to the rest of this thread, but if it's about career opportunity it's typically a much better investment to highly-leverage your strengths and outsource/partner where you have gaps. We could talk all day about the number of tech companies that are pairings of the uber-geek tech genius and the slick salesperson translator -- it's fine to team-up with people who have skills that complement skills you lack, and you are typically able to accomplish much more together.
I'm planning to look at perkeep.https://perkeep.org/
This is what I want. A more advanced feature would be: Pick your own moderator. The system could essentially figure this out for you based on upvotes / downvotes, but a shortcut would be that if I "follow" someone, it means I generally want to see things that they like as well.

Another feature: let me bang on the downvote or upvote button multiple times to tell the system how much I like or dislike something. Show me more or less or none at all of that topic/user/etc based on that.

Finally and perhaps most importantly, I'd like to see comments and topics sorted by how much my own personal network of influencers rated them. I don't care that 100,000 idiots liked American Idol. I care how much the 100 people I followed hated it (so don't show it to me, ever).

Some people don't like my idea because they say it will create an echo chamber. To them I say that it more closely models real life. In real life, I generally don't hang around with people who I disagree with all the time. My ideal system would insulate people from me if they disagree with me and me from them. Twitter must have a different goal.
Remote education needs to be a supplement to in-person education. The lack of interaction with other students, especially for kids in elementary or secondary school is becoming very harmful for their overall development.

For adults, online education should be thought of as a supplement to either their work-learning or their life-learning. The former to help advance their pursuit of skills, the second to help advance their pursuit of enjoyment of life.

The needs for online education for all these realms are very different and there is no one size fits all.
I never see HN readers taking personal responsibility in any thread regarding climate change. Every comment just damns other people. If you are a techie in North America, you are in the top 1% of all-time polluters, if not the top 0.1%. Me too. I admit it. Stop wagging your fingers at other people.

I disagree, mega-corps aren't the problem. As Steve Jobs famously said: they're a feature, not a product.

Even if you eliminate Microsoft, Google, AND Amazon from the discussion, the list of alternatives is endless.

Synology and QNAP both have a "free" sync and share client. WD, Seagate, Samsung, Apple, not to mention the open-source options out there. Do the big 3 put MORE pressure on Dropbox, sure. But they never pivoted. Just look at a company like Druva - we used them forever ago as a file sync and share, and now they look very, very different.

Dropbox's problem isn't mega-corps or "big tech getting too big", it's that they didn't or couldn't innovate beyond their core product.
That may be one of the best explanation I have heard yet. Excellent way of putting it.
As the CEO of a company with 180 employees working full time, I can tell you that the advice to avoid overcompensating is outright wrong. I made the mistake of undercompensating for too long and suffered severely for it. More damage will happen from undercompensating your best employees than by overcompensating.
Do I remember wrong that Nuvia higher ups have stated that they wanted to bring products to market rather than get acquired?
P.S. I know such statements shouldn't be taken at face value anyway. Just curious.

Algorithms are not censorship - and - there isn't effective competition in search.

Pat Gelsinger didn't do that at VMW, and it seems unlikely he'll do it at Intel. He's an engineer.

> Except that, in Europe, most (if not all) forms of "equity" are proportional: your title, your salary, your ability to decide, etc.

It's funny that you completely missed the point ( i think the other person is making). What about time off? Pension? Parental leave? Medical costs? Way of life ( as in, work stops at 6pm or 7pm or whatever, and then it's your free time; weekends are usually off limits; you don't have to own a car and waste hours in traffic depending on where you live, etc.)

Furthermore, the rest of what you said is painting hundreds of thousands of business across more than 30 countries with the same brush. I work in a European company, and it's nothing like that. You shouldn't generalise like that.
And then there's cyclothymia, which is a milder form of bipolar disorder and very often goes undiagnosed.
They're not likely to add smaller packages though, since they KNOW 99% of their customers will never go up that high. It's a bit like gmail; they offered 1 GB at the time (if I recall correctly?) which was a ridiculous amount that in practice, 99% of people would NEVER reach. But it was great PR. Mind you, gmail is "free".

If Dropbox were to offer a 500GB package for half price, 99% of their customers that found out about it would switch to that. What's worse, they would likely open themselves up to a class action suit for people who feel like they overpaid for years.

Introducing a cheaper, lower capacity subscription now would be suicide for the company.
I would love to see some more prebuilt pfsense boxes with useful options (like built-in 4G) - there are some on Amazon without detailed specs and some small vendors that don’t feel like shipping in all of the EU (can’t blame them for the regulatory and tax challenges).
I'm paying attention, and what I see is that Facebook can take rapid action when and if it so chooses.

As far back as 2018 [0], a UN report pointed to Facebook's lack of moderation on misinformation as a major reason why the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar developed popular support and continued with the approval of the country's politicians. Thousands were killed and a million refugees are now housed in border areas inside neighbouring Bangladesh.

Five people dead on US soil however, and they manage to magically spring into action to prevent further damage.

That gives me an idea. Given enough data, might it be possible to create a system that automatically identify "sides" to a controversial discussion based solely on how people are voting, and adjusts the sorting algorithm appropriately to counteract groupthink?

For example, if a group of people who tend to vote the same way on certain things all downvote a particular comment, but a smaller group of people with a different voting history vote a different way on the same comment, the system could mark that comment as a minority opinion rather than simply a "bad comment" and give less weight to downvotes from users of the opposing position when sorting that comment.
I have not home-schooled my kids, however the topic for this post was remote schooling. I think those are two different topics with some overlap. Parent engagement in their child's education is probably a big factor regardless of home/public schooling. The more engagement, the better the outcome is my guess.

From an efficiency perspective, I'd agree public schools aren't efficient on time usage nor are they effective at helping anyone that are outliers - gifted or disadvantaged. Those things aren't their goal though, it is massive public education usually governed by state laws.

I think one of the top problems is with families that cannot have kids at home on their own for economic reasons like poor families that have to work outside the home for basic food and shelter.

Do you think there are practices done with effective home-schooling that can be used as a seed for larger-scale remote education?
Thanks for connecting those dots for me.
Their website is a bit confusing.

versus

> In order to fund the development of Ninja Cookie, we will soon be offering a premium version.

Also, the author of the article seems to think the extension uses a blacklist content filter rather than "removing cookie banners by rejecting cookies" since they were still noticing cookie banners on some sites.

As a side note - at least on desktop, I think this is solved well enough by just using the element zapper in uBlock Origin. It only takes a couple seconds with a keyboard shortcut.
Or an incidence of correlation and not causation. Not that correlation does not mater.
The Hacker Who Archived Parler Explains How She Did It
This would not be the first time that fungus or other plants grew inside the human body. I remember reading about a boy who had a seed get blown into his eye and it sprouted.

When I used to be active on CF lists, someone got the bright idea to inhale some kind of oil using their nebulizer and ended up with pneumonia. You can readily google "oil induced pneumonia" and get articles about lipoid pneumonia. It's a well known phenomenon that inhaling fats or oils blocks the lungs and can cause pneumonia.

The reason we don't like people doing self experimentation is because a lot of people know shockingly little about how their body works and do damn little in the way of due diligence to look stuff up beforehand. I have difficulty imagining that I would inject any kind of fungus into my body for any reason.

That's just not a good way to extract the active ingredient he was looking to ingest, which can be ingested orally just fine from what I gather.

And I don't think we would be calling him a hero. Most likely, we would be claiming "He got lucky" and "It's a wild coincidence -- stranger things have happened" and wouldn't even bother to commission a study to see if it is replicable.
I've avoided most social media because its onboarding and constant nagging to sign up is a pain. I've been using TikTok since the ban threat, have not made an account yet but the feed seems to be personalized to me. Some of the content is annoying at first until it learns your preferences.

I find it useful to kill time with, no sign up required and barely any ads. I can see how they will try to slide in unskippable ads eventually though, which is when I eill say bye.
Beyond the QIIP, there are a whole host of provincial nominee programs where provinces can set their own criteria that are different from the federal government: https://moving2canada.com/provincial-nominee-program-pnp/
Yeah, I've used that and it worked well (though I haven't used it extensively). As long as clients don't get confused by the UI, it's great, but it might take a bit of onboarding due to the different UI (though in its core it's just "Slack, but everything is a message thread").

There are a disturbing number of people who would read your post and think "That's a great idea, we should do it".

They love shows like Black Mirror for criticizing the totalitarian Social Credit system in China, but now they're urging private companies to build the same system in the US. Being unable to book travel or a hotel is actually one of the penalties if your score falls too low in China.
Microsoft declared war on free software first, pursued that war for many years, and never made amends.

> Blowing up language is not nice even for me as a businessman - now I have to place special care about who's coding what and how, something I didn't need to do up until now (in case of C).

This part is fair, but I've never worked (professionally) in a language that had a BDFL who controlled its extension in a deliberate fashion. It's always been design-by-committee languages. As a consequence, since I began, we've always had coding standards that limited what portions we could use for which projects (usually with options to try out novel parts of the language/standard library with extra reviews). And this is even true with C, though the restrictions weren't as severe (working in embedded, typically mandating no/limited use of malloc/free and no recursion, direct or indirect).
That would be a nice feature. Or much like a "report" button on some platforms, if clicking downvote meant you had to say why you had disliked, and it gives you the usual moderation options, all the other comments that it could auto-upvote, or a free-text field that automatically creates a comment... that would probably be the least-friction way of dealing with it.
Can someone explain to me why I'm getting downvoted for this? Maybe the phrasing was a bit strange, but I just wanted to understand...
That is only a question if HTTP upload and OMEMO are different plugins. With https://dino.im/ it also "just works" and as a user I do not care which part pf the program does what.
You could argue that VMware was slow to move into containers and should probably have better leveraged Pivotal before they drew them in. The former is something of an innovator's dilemma thing. The lack of focus on developers and applications was something of a VMware blind spot going back to Diane Greene days. But "fairly effective" underplays how well VMware has done over the past 10 years or so overall. There are things they should have been more aggressive about, especially with the benefit of hindsight, but they've been a very successful software company/subsidiary.
Thank, I guess I missed that (aside from Kaepernick)
If Microsoft ships their Wayland implementation this year, it might be!
I should test OpenWRT with my new multi-AP test setup.

Many repeaters and pure (bridging) APs have an isolation problem for clients that switch between them. TP-Link, Netgear, and a few others suffer this problem.

What happens is that when a wifi client moves from one AP to another, the old AP doesn't update its device table, and the client becomes unreachable from other clients on the old AP. This only matters on networks that use a lot of LAN comms (Sonos, AirPlay, etc), but it makes certain APs (and extenders) unusable on those networks.

Two that work right are Ubiquity and Eero, fwiw.
It's funny, Ubiquiti keeps getting talked up on HN, but every time I try to shop for their equipment out of curiosity, it's basically panned everywhere else. Don't know what to make of it.
