Exactly. There are so many people who have an extremely cynical view of the world based on what they learned online. The idea of an honest politician or company seems impossible to them. I just hope that it doesn't lead to self-fulfilling prophecies.
I have their 13-ish/14-ish laptop from 2017, 3200x1600 display. It's great. Damn shame they don't have anything high-dpi now. 15" 1920x1080 is unacceptable. 1920x1080 is the new 1366x768.
> Okay, then why is the camera serialized and not the battery (which, incidentally, you CAN replace on the iPhone 12)?

on my macbook I can see the battery serial number in System Information under the Power section and the camera unique ID under the Camera section. not sure why it would be any different on the iphone.
Ok this is getting ridiculous. You actually interpreted what I wrote as “every single piece of research ever made shows whatever you want it to show?” Or is it possible (likely?) that you’re just nitpicking?

Please review HN guidelines.

“Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.”

With that in mind I reiterate: “research shows what you want it to show”.

>his humanness

Based on how he's treated everyone around him for his entire life, he doesn't have any.

>it's better for the future if we make the population aware of, and thereby immune to, his type of purely self-serving rhetoric, than try to erase him from the discussion, and thereby violate all kinds of human rights

Then why did threats and violence decline when he was deplatformed? Why did an insurrection happen on January 6th when he was on Twitter and why didn't one happen on March 4th (the other important date in this "conspiracy") when he wasn't on Twitter? I think you have your cause and effect backwards. Giving terrible people a platform doesn't inoculate anyone, it just spreads more poison. I don't need to be exposed to a particular prejudice to think that prejudice is bad.

Spent last summer building a one room log cabin.

In the end I wound up using makita battery powered chainsaw. You can do precision work and quickly too.

I did not have any skill before and my vacation was short, but theres now a 5' by 12' cabin, 8' tall, on my yard.

This summer it's the floors, roof etc.

The video is much cooler of course, just saying if you want to try something with limited time.

I had help every now and then. Looking back it's a project for two people definitely. Logs are heavy and having four eyes is better than two, especially as a beginner.
Except for "Java applets are dead", everything else you wrote is wrong :-)

Android is not moving to Kotlin: Kotlin is simply supported as a first class language in Android. Most of Android itself is written in Java and while it's clear that an increasing number of Android developers are switching to Kotlin, Java will never stop being supported on Android.

The legal battle between Google and Oracle has nothing to with Google using Java.

You can use Java for free and without any licensing concerns (use Open JDK).

C++ is less portable than Java precisely because Java runs on a JVM.
Yeah I made the same consideration. Carbon G9 has some distinct advantages but I needed the laptop sooner than later (who knows how long it'll take the G9 to come down to reasonable prices in the current environment) so I went ahead and bought the Nano.
My late father worked in the salt industry. There is no cost effective substitute for salt. Sand is used for traction purposes, not to melt ice.

There are a number of chemicals that will melt ice though not as well as salt. But these alternatives are much more expensive, they get talked about a lot but haven't made a dent in salts market share.
2003. Are you sure it's up to date?
Thank you for the link. I haven't felt this bad for dinosaurs since the death of Littlefoot's mother.
You're not wrong.

It's just the alternative proposed in above is not better. In fact, I assert it's worse.

I believe that a road made safer with salt and sand is better than requiring individuals to take the steps of adding chains, tire studs, etc.

I do not trust anyone to be so careful and intelligent and responsive to varying conditions.

I expect enforcement of a "chain proclamation" to be haphazard at best esp. because it would occur precisely when enforcing traffic laws is the most difficult due to adverse weather.

I assert that car maintenance is an acceptable price to pay to hedge against accidents and save lives through the widespread use of salt.

I'm just clarifying, I do agree with you about how expensive it can be and how nice it is to own a car in Cali or other dry, warm areas.

One has the responsibility to look after one's parents, but why is there any moral imperative to be 'productive'?
Tunnelblick uses OpenVPN under the hood, which means it's using a TUN/TAP virtual NIC.

thank you. unfortunately your comment was frustratingly indistinguishable from the "i've got nothing to hide" fallacy often seen in comment threads like this. when there's no way to tell you're being humorous, your language does the work of someone being serious.

I don't disagree with what you're saying here but I don't think it contradicts the OP. Wipro etc. occupy a different corner of the tech jobs market than VC-funded startups do.

It is unclear to me what the real impact of this deal is. The article spends about one sentence describing the deal directly:

"All research with a UC lead author published in Elsevier’s extensive portfolio of hybrid and open access journals will be open access by default."

There are a lot of caveats here. It sounds like this only applies to some journals and some articles. There are a whole lot of vague quotes about how great this is though. I'd be interested to see a more detailed analysis of the impact this will have.

Even if `record` is a syntactic sugar, I'd better see a canonical constructor added to all usual classes. The constructor parameters are of types of all the fields, in the declaration order. In this case we could say

class Point { public final int x, y; }

instead of

record Point(int x, int y) { }

Usual non-record classes would benefit greatly from such a feature too.

Actually, if class fields have different visibility, several canonical constructors are needed. If public fields exist, a constructor that sets all public fields. If protected fields exist, a constructor that sets all public and protected fields. If package-private fields exist - setting all public, protected, and package-private fields. If private fields exist - setting all public, protected, package-private, and private fields.

What remains, is value-oriented versions of equals(), hashCode() and toString() to be defined. Probably better to express as a base class than the new keyword `record`;

class Point extends Record { public final int x, y; }

A polyfill for such a base class for older Java:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.EqualsBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.HashCodeBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringBuilder;

class Record {
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this, true);
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj, true);
}

@Override
public String toString() {
return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this);
}
}

I practice such classes in my code, for constructors, I just don't bother for final (Java does not support it well anyways), and have factory methods in a separate class, so they are out of the readers view.
So if it's stored outside and someone is cutting it with a hacksaw, how is it not reacting to the atmosphere/moisture? I don't think you can simply use a block of it either. The exterior of the block would turn into the "waste" that would then slow or block the reaction with the remaining "fuel".
They keep playing catch up with each other, in different ways across the eco-system and language features, since they exist.
Well if it's true, then they were trying to put flawed code into freebsd which they would then ship to customers in their security product.

They're not some random person but are representing their company with their code.

If there was a security exploit with their Wireguard implementation, would Netgate get blamed or Wireguard?
I mean, short of government legislation the market isn’t going to stop driving the price of music down. The marginal cost of additional “performances” of the song is almost zero and people are constantly making new recordings for free because they love doing so. I don’t see why making a living off digitally recorded music has to be sustainable, and I don’t see how it can be when the supply is so endless.

Fascinating idea, though light on technical detail about efficiency, etc. Like what's the cost per BTU compared to gas boiler? Here's an article from the Guardian on this device: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/16/first-mi...

"The Heat Wayv unit is the same size as a gas boiler and has 10 metres of pipe coiled inside, which is heated at multiple points along its length. The microwaves are produced by solid state components, which can be tuned specifically to heat water and better targeted than the magnetrons used in microwave ovens...They say the boiler is 84% efficient in converting electricity into hot water...The ability to be dropped in as a replacement for a gas boiler is a significant benefit, they said, though they would use more electricity and therefore cost more to run than heat pumps and gas boilers."

Seems to be billed as a solution for domestic potable hot water and radiant heat, which probably means it's scarcely above 80F. I don't know what that means for traditional hydronic systems that run at 180F.

People speculate that the slow loading was a feature not a bug since the app shows ads during the loading. That being said, the fix is comically small that simply the people they have running that part may be the junior developers who don’t know how hashmaps work.
It has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Microsoft offered to acquire Yahoo for $44.6 billion dollars in 2008 [1]. Jerry* Yang turned them down claiming the offer "substantially undervalued" the company. 8 years later they sold to Verizon for $5 billion [2].

Similar reaction here. My first impression was Netgate being an arse. But then when you read the announcement I kind of understand why Scott is angry. Because while the post may have been in "good faith" in an Open Development and Open Source world, it surely isn't in a professional and business world especially when the work is sponsored ( being paid ).

Jason should have informed Netgate the quality of the code is shit in private and FreeBSD dev should have told Netgate will not be shipping any of it in Rel 13.

It is then up to Netgate to decide What to do with their Rel 2.5

> HoAs are how neighborhoods fund communal property like pools, parks, plowing of parking lots, etc...

All of that stuff can exist without HOAs. If you want access to communal property and a communal parking sticker, you can require a membership fee. As long as it's reasonably priced I'd most likely gladly pay for access to parks and communal facilities and stuff like that. It should be optional, but for the above, I'd be likely to opt in and I'm sure most people would.

But no, I would not pay for them to come and yak at me for how I should decorate my front yard and house.
I'd have to disagree. I bought the Mibook Pro a few years ago after it seemed to get quite good reviews, but it is an absolutely miserable machine to use

The iGPU has a hard-locked 64MB of RAM allocated to it, which means the Nvidia graphics chip is ALWAYS on, causing it to get maybe 2~ hours of battery life at best

The build quality is miserable, I ended up replacing all of the screws in the machine to make it more properly sturdy (which also fixed the case flex causing the fans to grind to a halt if you nudged the machine too harshly)

Linux support still isn't 100%. The Nvidia blob doesn't support GPU switching for what ever reason and Nouveau just causes kernel oopses

After suffering with it for so many years I finally bought an "MSI Modern 14" Ryzen laptop, which I'm moderately content with. I'll probably send the Mibook off to some people I know that work at Red Hat so they can at least improve its Linux support for those who still have it though

That's a problem for Apple. Why is it a problem for consumers?
For me as a freelancer the fundamental question was always: "how much money will be in my bank account when I take this job". Yes there is risk of non payment and hidden fees that I don't anticipate but the main driver was the rate of the gig.

I was not able to find that information on the platform looking at the jobs tab. Most of the value was "negotiable".

But leaving that aside, it seems that "value" is not what will be in my bank account.

And from the overview it seems like the fee is only 3% which implies I get to keep 97% of the money. But further down there is a diagram that puts "70%" next to "Freelancer" so I'm not even sure how much percent of a job I get.
It's not my fault the kids skipping class, having fun and making jokes during teacher's lessons are now paid less than me.

If that's how you think people become poor and desperate, I can only surmise that you've never had anything bad happen to you ever.

Never got sick. Never had a family member hurt. Never been the victim of crime. Never fallen on a wet floor. Never had a house fire. Never had your car break down. You always had plenty of food, plenty of money, plenty of infrastructure near you. Never had to worry about the condition of your home, or whether you'd even have a home tomorrow. Someone else paid for your education, your transportation, your entire life when you were growing up.

Consider yourself blessed. And please never run for office.
No bother, beyond learning new concepts.

I do ask the same question for all those other systems, or the meta-question: "How is it that the bloated monstrosity of Kubernetes somehow became the de-facto container orchestration tool?"

Is this just sysadmins buying themselves job security?
Yes and I would also imagine that the trade-offs between writing a proprietary object storage and reusing the battle-tested object storage that everyone else uses would have been considered as well.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be an interesting open source research topic if you could build an object database for git that performs better than its packed in filesystem object store. But it's probably not something you want to do as a proprietary project with fewer eyeballs on its performance trade-offs and more engineering work every time git slightly changes its object storage behavior which would remain tuned for the filesystem object store because it was entirely unaware of your efforts.

SMS routing and number porting are different things, as the voice and SMS operate independently. I headed Engineering for a company that allowed you to SMS enable your landline or toll-free number, and our automated flow for non-toll-free landlines required receiving a code via telephone call (to avoid the situation of compromised SMS routing). We didn't support numbers that were not in those two buckets, i.e. mobile numbers (not allowed by carriers) as well as "virtual" numbers like Google voice, Twilio, etc. (possibility for abuse and/or no way to properly validate ownership). OP's issue is purely the fault of Sakari for having terrible process.

The process of changing the routing is pretty simple. It's a matter of being a trusted actor and having the ability to submit changes in routing for SMS to a central provider that maintains and propagates this info.
Please share the widely agreed criteria to identify code we would all call "unrealistically optimized" ;-)

2 tasks — pidigits & regex-redux — explicitly allow use of standard libraries (GMP, PCRE2, RE2) written in other languages.

8 tasks do not.

(Those standard libraries were allowed because some language implementations provided arbitrary precision arithmetic or regex by wrapping those standard libraries.)

Of course, realistic use of some languages relies on calling standard libraries written in other languages.
