Crime scene cleaning pays more than normal janitor jobs, not because the work is harder but because there is emotional labour beyond the simple job.

You need to consider the effects of work on employees bodies and minds.

There is skill to be treated like a serf for a living and smiling to your masters who claim your labour is low skilled and not deserving of a fair (living) wage.
This is classic Linux - a herd of small furry developers all trying to pull a large heavy object in different directions while not listening to what anyone else wants because pulling on things is fun.

MacOS is a large heavy object being pulled by a mysterious force in a direction no one is sure they want to go, but at least it mostly works, kind of, on good days. Except when it suddenly changes direction and runs you over.

Windows is a large heavy object with an embedded malevolent eyeball and a huge trail of wreckage behind it. People keep signing up for more wreckage, and it's really mystifying.

My bad. You are right that my edits made a mess, I didn't even do a good job of fixing it on my last edit. I didn't know at the time that I removed the Fauci remark that you had already (correctly) pointed out that it was wrong. If anything I should had added an edit to that statement pointing out that it had been correctly discredited. I was fiddling with the edit/update button because I typed too quick, then felt the urge to clarify and remove extraneous material so as not to sidetrack things. I shouldn't have used the edit as a preview feature. I am well reminded that this does a disservice to anyone in the middle of a reply.
> Executives under Frazzini initially rejected charges that New World, an Amazon game that would ask players to colonize a mythical land and murder inhabitants who bear a striking resemblance to Native Americans, was racist. They relented after Amazon hired a tribal consultant who found that the portrayal was indeed offensive

What a ridicilous world we live in.
Be careful about assuming that a throwaway account guarantees anonymity. Based on what HN moderators have said in posts to users misusing throwaway accounts to violate the HN guidelines, they are able to link throwaway accounts to primary accounts. That necessarily implies if HN suffers a severe security breach, all throwaway accounts may be linkable to the main account which would reveal the email address on the main account, if present, and enable researching of the user's identity based on posts on the main account.

The only book you should read is John Bogel's. Do what he says like Goldman partners, Bank of America senior executives, almost every economist does with their money and stick it in low cost diversified mutual funds.

Or you can learn stochastic calculus and end up in the same place once you realize half of all active traders do worse than the market, before fees.

On Windows npm is using %AppData%\npm by default (which is wrong btw, it should use %LocalAppData%\npm as %AppData% is meant for configuration files).

This means I don't require any elevation to install packages for my user without additional configuration.

Installing tools like yarn or @angular/cli globally is not uncommon.
Well if the content is being reported it is more likely public already or "almost public" (a big group or someone with lots of contacts)

So I think the privacy expectation for that kind of thing is low.
That’s assuming that both sides respect the process and are acting in good faith to come to a conclusion.

> Kindle has mediocre UX compared to eg iPad, but is much much cheaper (leveraging that supply chain)

Does the supply chain really have anything to do with why the Kindle is cheaper than the iPad? I grant that Amazon has a good supply chain...but Apple seems to, too.

I would've thought that the Kindle is cheaper than the iPad because Amazon set out to build a product that is cheaper in every way. (I don't mean that as criticism of the Kindle.)
What exactly was “this particular violation”? You’re knee-jerk reacting and missing the point - there is likely no actual concern other than fitting the mold of some decade old rules regarding once-a-year launches. Both parties are aware of that.
Lately their Twitch streaming service has also been declining in quality a lot and being plagued by anti-user behaviour such as attempting to degrade the experience quite ruthlessly for adblocking users, inconsistent banning with little communication, politically correct banning of words like "simp" and various emotes, allowing titty streamers to continue to push the limits, etc....

Overall YouTube is starting to seem more and more appealing as a streaming platform and has just recently released clips experimentally. If YouTube keeps adding new features that match and are better than Twitch I could see switches starting to happen. Currently YouTube already offers a better streaming experience in some aspects it's just missing a bit.

Twitch's whole gaming department leadership when it comes to streaming games or making games seems to have no idea what they are doing. They also seem to have no idea what their target demographic wants and likes. They end up listening to angry Twitter users over their actual users.
As some other comments noted, there is a lot of information missing to give you a good answer.

Do you need to be off grid 24 hrs out of every 24 hrs? (No grid connection, permanent off grid)

Do you need to be off grid UP TO 24 hours, with a grid connection most of the time?

Is your grid power cheap? If so, how cheap? It might be worth it only as a weather related backup if it is cheap, or might be worth going full off grid if not.

Do you plan on sustaining that 2kw the full 24 hr, or only peaking up to 2kw? If only peaking, for how long?

There are lots of potential trade offs that could help a lot in making it cheaper, or make it much more expensive if you can’t do them.
If no-one is doing jobs that need doing, then pay for those jobs will rise until it reaches equilibrium. Greed and motivation will always be there.
I’m in the same boat. I have to use a Mac for work and it’s fine. But doing personal projects on my personal laptop on Linux is just so much easier - containers are faster, Emacs is faster, upgrades don’t break things etc.
It’s like using a wire transfer (~$30 fee) for every transaction. Most people use credit cards or other “delayed settlement” payment methods even with existing fiat currency, so it’s not really fair to compare Bitcoin blockchains transactions to this. Sidechains and other enhancements can easily make low-risk Bitcoin transactions as fast as existing fiat payments.
Maybe. But the alternative hypothesis we have to evaluate against is that people don't expect Bitcoin to be good money in the first place, and their investments are driven by a desire to be part of the movement or a hope that they'll be able to get rich off of it. A sudden spike and then fall in Dogecoin, which was never intended to be taken seriously, is a pretty strong pointer in that direction.
True but it is also exponentially more obscure in usage.

Sure, and as I said, I think their get-stuff-done philosophy must apply in pretty narrow contexts if they prioritize correctness that strongly.

At least for humans, correctness and consistency are very difficult, and therefore very expensive to achieve except under narrow conditions. Mainly we don't bother. That's part of why dynamic languages like Python and Ruby are so popular. Correctness takes a back seat to convenience.

There's nothing wrong with Pony making these choices. Let a thousand flowers bloom. But when I look at a new language or tool, my first question is, "What kinds of problems might it be good for?" From this quote, plus a number of other things, it's pretty clear to me that they've chosen a relatively narrow domain, one I do very little work in.
People post things like beheadings, all sorts of sexual assault (including sexual assault on children), and so forth. It's not just underboobs and dickpics.

After 6 years of using a Mac at work for development with OSS tools I switched to a SFF PC with Ubuntu with Gnome and never looked back. Everything is so smooth. Apt get this apt get that and I have working software. No need to homebrew development tools, install Xcode using an Apple account, withhold upgrades and fight evey iteration of the OS.
You shouldn’t, and I’m not defending RH’s handling of a PR crisis, which is never easy and one that every successful company eventually encounters at some point. I don’t use RH personally. My guess is they had problems with collateral obligations but didn’t have their arms around the problem so the immediate solution was to pull the plug until they could get their affairs in order. This by the way isn’t the first time they’ve had these problems. A lesser known story in wsb lore was ironyman who a few years ago opened so many box spreads before RH knew what was happening that he turned an initial $500 account into a $50,000 loss. That should never be able to happen obviously but RH was ill prepared. It’s clear in hindsight that something like what’s happening now or worse was almost inevitable. They seem to take move fast and break things to another level. The problem is that when you don’t dot your i’s in the stock market you can be fine for years and then one day get carried out in a casket. I surely would never consider using RH at any point.

My point was that a mob formed instantly with false narratives about what was happening. It’s clear now that these moves are entirely due to risk mitigation and that it had nothing to do with collusion with Citadel to cheat people. So the conversation has shifted from outright collusion to cheat retail investors to one of terrible communications.
It’s the Juicero of anti-poaching technicals
Except for moving temporarily for gigs at Google and Capital One, my wife and I have lived in the mountains of Central Arizona since 1998. Almost no tech culture in my small town, with occasional exceptions. It is OK, I have lots of non-tech friends locally, and when I work I am paid to have technical discussions.
If the bar is 'need for existence' then sure almost no one needs those tools.
Yeah it’s not like GME where a short squeeze (and gamma squeeze) can keep the party going. Nobody is short Dogecoin, and you can’t buy options on it.
Because prices would be so high that you would be unable to pay rent or eat on your monthly “allowance”. You could keep raising the allowance every month and things would soon spiral out of control
Under normal scenarios this works extremely well. Being able to trade immediately was a boon. Of course I knew that it was margin but the cover scenarios never even arose for the many years I used Robinhood.

It was one of the many reasons I used them. (I don’t anymore for other reasons)
> The article is devoid of engineering details. There is no way one can tell from this set of information if the FAA is right or wrong, or if SpaceX is right or wrong.

If this was some kind of engineering magazine, then you could expect in-depth details to the systems in place and mechanisms that failed. But this is a Reuters article, so I don't expect much technical details from it.

Regardless if anyone was harmed or not during an accident like this, standards should be enforced no matter what, if only to prevent the unlucky scenario in the future.
I imagine if you wanted to 100% stop buying or using products from FANNG (+Microsoft & Twitter) it would be impossible without doing anything short of living completely off the grid.

Imagine, you ditch your smartphone. You switch to Linux. You stop using _search engines_ because all of them use Google or Bing in the backend. You abandon Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, GitHub, and Gmail. Before you go to a website, how do you know if they are going to load an asset from AWS or GApps? Maybe the server loads an asset from AWS and redistributes it to you, so you can’t just blacklist IPs. How do you know if your Bank’s ATMs are using AWS? Or your hospital’s digital records? Eventually someone you do business with will do business with FANG and you’ll be indirectly supporting them.
Noise isolation might be enough, given I’m working from home. I do want headphones that would versatile in listening to music and taking zoom calls from a MacBook. I’ve also heard of the MX4, but looking at the Microsoft Surface 2 headphones as well.
>> The solution to this problem: “uniwidth” typefaces, sometimes also called “equal-width”, “duplexed” or “multiplexed” typefaces. And no, I am not talking about monospaced fonts here.

I'm not into web design but I think the core problem here is lack of accepted terminology and even awareness that this type of font is a thing.

The article certainly brings awareness to something I didn't know is a thing but seems very useful.

My mind wants to say "weight invariant" or "style invariant" but those suggest the thing doesnt look any different rather than just the size not changing with other characteristics.

It's probably obvious that I don't like "uniwidth", but at the moment I can't think of anything better that isn't super wordy, like "font with style invariant width".
> I think my next setup will be using my (company-issued) macbook as a thin client against a beefy unix machine. That way I'd keep a number of affordances (trackpad, iTerm, fancy Emacs etc) while having my core tooling absolutely stable.

You mind going into a little detail on how you’ll go about this?
> > lack of commercial software like Adobe CS / MS Office

> Usually inconsequential for developers

I agree that most developers view it this way, but I find this perspective hard to understand. Why would a developer, whose craft is software, go out of there way to not understand and use the software most people use? Including of course their own coworkers? I understand that a lot of developers are content, and able to function, in a bubble of their own creating, but I would find that incredibly limiting, both from a productivity perspective, and in an understanding software as whole (and by extension the world) perspective.

> I fully understand why people want to use Apple for their consuming needs.

You do qualify this as being only about developers a bit later, but statements like this seem fundamentally out of touch with creative work on computers (i.e., illustrating my point from the previous paragraph). Logic, Final Cut, Media Composer, Pro Tools, Cinema 4D, the Adobe Creative Suite, Max/MSP, Reaktor are just a small sampling of important creative software that run on Mac but not Linux. Saying it's about "consuming" is patently ridiculous.

There is no execution mask from the ISA perspective, each thread has its own instruction pointer, and the hardware deals with which threads get executed, instead of a mask being set/unset.

I'm amazed how many things Big Sur broke. Arduino development just doesn't really work any more because they broke the kernel extension for virtual com ports. Also one app locking up seems to break the entire system (ive had dev tools freeze up and then activity monitor couldn't kill them)

Yeah, most people are recharging 20-30 miles of daily driving not the whole battery. As long as the car pulls its 10-15 kWh overnight before it leaves the garage in the morning EV owners aren't going to care when charging happens.

With managed charging / demand response and day ahead weather forecasting you'd rarely need to spin up a gas turbine. On the coasts wind is strongest at night, the distribution grid is at minimum load and cars are parked. Seems like a perfect match.
If I could upvote this again, I would.
The system you mention is the same. Clearing is done at the end of the day.

All that is exchanged during the day are IOUs (debt) and if one player in the chain goes bankrupt during the day the central bank might cover its debt up to some limit.

We haven't had any major crisis since those instant pay apps were put into place. So those aren't really battle tested systems and I guess we'll only effectively discover how resilient they are during the next crisis...
Probably helped a lot by the Atari 400/800/XL/XE hardware architecture [1], which was basically the Amiga's little 8-bit brother (same design team). For instance there was a display list coprocessor which worked much like the Amiga's copper and could modify display attributes independent from the CPU. Of course I don't know how much of this was actually used in this Wayout game.

>I fully understand why people want to use Apple for their consuming needs. I really don't understand why my fellow developers choose to go with Apple as their work machine.

Because many of your fellow developers do not have and don't want a separate machine for just conding? Why is this idea so alien for some people?

I've been using linux distros (mainly Ubuntu before unity nonsense and then arch and even maintained a package in AUR) since around 2006 to 2013-14. Every now and then I install Fedora\Ubuntu\Manjaro etc to see if anything got better to allow me to use it as a universal device should be used. Every time the answer is a firm NO.

In fact sometimes the disto won't even install because of some weird reasons. For example I only managed to install Fedora on my current PC (build mainly for gaming) after changing some GRUB options (and spending two hours searching all over the web for a needed recipe). What the hell is this?

As a sibling commenter said - Linux is still only good as close-to-targed (server) work machine. And it also has a few OSS tools for musicians and painters (like MuseScore and Krita). But that's it.

Installation is still a mess, updates are still unpredictable. Software distribution is still a nightmare. General consumer software availability is ... there is almost none.

If at some point my mac will become too unfriendly to work with as a dev tool (I don't see it coming really. Some people on HN usually treat some minor things as a catastrophe) - I will build a small dev server (or rent one).
If the new CTO is so great he'll be moving up & out eventually and by then you can (re)fill his shoes better than he did the whole time.

If he's not so great you'll exceed his abilities after a while and become truly more valuable, especially to this particular company where you were the original CTO. That would also be when other pastures are the greenest.

It's not revenge, it could be considered a business requirement that you now focus on the technology itself until you far exceed the acceptable benchmarks set by the new leader/decision-maker, while also building from experience the ability to avoid their type of leadership & decision-making weaknesses that become apparent, without you having to carry ultimate blame for failures along the way.
