I love non-4k displays, but 1080p on a 15" is too harsh. 1440p would probably be the cutoff for that size.

It seems that most developers (their target audience?) love hidpi which may be one of the biggest adoption issues for System 76.
Wow. Netgate come off as incredibly unprofessional.

According to the article linked and the info here in that email you linked this is my conclusion:

* Netgate tried to ship flawed code that has multiple security issues.

* Jason Donenfeld, one of the lead Wireguard developers, went out of his way to work on rewriting it to be better in time for the 13.0 release of FreeBSD

* This Netgate employee is angry that they weren't able to ship their bad code and starts throwing accusations of a smear campaign.

> Java applets have been dead on arrival

The only successful Java applet I know was Runescape (if that was an applet? it ran in browser), an RPG game that ran in Java in the browser, for 15 years or so roughly afaik, today they switched to a non browser based client instead.

Other Java applets almost never worked for some reason. Like, sometimes I'd visit a website about some mathematical topic, and the whole browser would hang while some java applet demonstrating the math was supposedly loading, and then most of the time it didn't actually work.

I guess I'm a Laschian leftist, or Laschian conservative, depending on your view of Lasch.
I personally hate the idea of HOAs, so I agree with you on a gut level.

Taking a wider view, HOAs are a form of free association and I can't condemn them entirely. If people want to subject themselves to complete hell, they should be able to. And frankly, the kind of neighborhood that has an HOA is not the place I'd want to live anyway, so it's not like I'm personally missing anything.

That said, the existence of HOAs should not be a driver for climate change, and aesthetics and property values are a really stupid thing to optimize for when we're facing catastrophic climate collapse.

>It can't be done weekly and even monthly use will not yield its maximum potential.

LSD has a longer tolerance curve than psilocybin. LSD takes about two weeks for tolerance to reset, with psilocybin it's closer to a week. And honestly, I can't really tell a difference with even LSD between one and two weeks between doses. My usual doses are low (50-75ug for LSD and 1-1.5g for mushrooms), for deeper trips I prefer DMT due to the shorter length of the experience from an external standpoint (time can dilate so much that 15-20 minutes can feel like an infinity).

Set and setting are far more powerful in terms of potential. Tolerance can be overcome as simply as consuming more of the substance (and an experienced psychonaut will have an idea of the tolerance curve in question). I wouldn't do that, since it seems wasteful to me, but one's intention going in can be the most important factor.

I mean, the plight of refugees is certainly a good reason not to mistreat and discriminate against immigrants, but it doesn't matter how they ended up there, you still shouldn't be discriminating against them because of their nationality, their religion, their names.

No one deserves to be the target of racism, no matter how bad or good their circumstances are. If someone has done something worthy of derision, then justly revile them for that, but leave their race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, orientation, disability, etc out of it.

We're not dropping prices in NA in good part because our governments are dysfunctional and don't want to intervene, and because large landowners see such interventions as contrary to their benefit.

And besides, relaxing zoning is far from enough - you need to build vast and performant public transit systems, and in the case of Tokyo you need to make housing a depreciating asset.

South Korea was not a democratic state during most of its crucial growth period either - it was only after a revolution in the 80s, and even then democracy is a very gracious word for a country that was literally ruled by a cult for half a decade.

Taiwan also was in quasi-dictatorial KMT rule for most of its rise, and Japan to this day on the national level is basically ruled by the LDP in perpetuity.

But crucially, Japan, SK and Taiwan aren't where the kind of production China does happens. They are just as economically beholden to China as we are, sometimes moreso.

The hard truth in music (and in many creative industries) is that there's a huge oversupply (many musicians are willing to make music for free or very cheap) and demand has a low willingness to pay. The result is that there isn't much money to be made for musicians. In my mind, there's really no way around this fact. You can argue (as these folks are) that Spotify could take a smaller cut and give more to musicians. While this is technically true, Spotify is never going to do this. It's a strictly distributive transaction: musicians make more money, Spotify makes less.

Their other options are not so good either. Musicians can build a Spotify clone that's more favorable to artists. Nominally, this sounds like Tidal. The problem with Tidal is that nobody wants to spend that much money on a subscription. Even with the high profile artist exclusives it has less than 5% market share. Beyond the business model, building a Spotify clone is difficult to execute, especially for musicians and not software folks.

You can somehow lobby to outlaw streaming and go back to selling songs and albums individually. This would definitely hurt Spotify but probably doesn't help musicians too much. Potentially the top 1% of musicians are better off as they're able to capture more value but the long tail is way worse as nobody discovers their music anymore.

An interesting solution might be collective action. If enough musicians banded together and pulled their catalogs from Spotify, I could see that having a big negative impact on Spotify's revenue. There are a few bands that if their catalogs were off Spotify, I'd probably cancel. This would be effective but is probably too difficult to coordinate.

Overall, the problem for musicians is one of economics. Too many people willing to make music, not enough willing to pay. In other words, you can't push a rope. If you are a musician, my strong advice to you is to get comfortable with doing it for a reason other than money. Otherwise, you're in for inevitable disappointment.
Is that really the story? When the USG requires Apple to access something on the basis of legal intercept then Apple will comply, as they did with the FBI and that mass shooter guy: Apple granted the FBI access to the iCloud account, the FBI botched it and then wanted access to the data on the physical phone, which Apple couldn't provide due to not knowing the encryption key.

The only other "big stance on privacy" that Apple has is that, unlike their main competitor Google, they are not an advertisement business. So they have no real financial motivation to add tracking to their devices and software vs a Google were advertisement and user tracking are pretty big pillars of their financial income.

Infrastructure like that is trivial to hijack for surveillance once in place, which privacy wise makes Google devices and software by default the worse choice unless using specifically cleaned and hardened custom roms.

So while these two issues are related, legal intercept and privacy, they are not as easily conflated as you make it sound when you claim Apple is having "double standards" when they really are not "double standards" but simply abiding by local laws and regulations.

Community Edition will diverge from Pfsense+ with the 2.6 release. They have also made no commitments there will be any releases after that - "it's up to the community".

They will, however, gatekeep what features the community is allowed to add. Community Edition is more or less a dead man walking at this point, they just refuse to come right out and say that.

Someone asked if they'd allow one of the REST API projects to be put into upstream and they gave some ridiculous answer about how they'd review any commit but alluded to the fact they won't actually accept it. Because what would they do if the maintainer left? Their suggestion was to fork it. Which, ironically, is exactly what OPNsense did and then Jim Thompson acted like a misbehaving 6 year old and created a website trying to bash them and didn't even have the spine to own up to it until there was a court order.

https://opnsense.org/opnsense-com/

I'm not sure why ANYONE would waste any effort on adding anything to pfsense at this point when they won't actually commit to accepting features upstream that competes with PFsense+.
You're giving HN a bit too much credit.
When I see somewhat obtuse code like this, I often want to see how well I could refactor it using modern techniques. No frameworks or anything crazy, in this case just vanilla JS, but using current best practices and enhancements in the both the language and JS at the browser level.

It's arguably a waste of time, but it does it always seems like a fun challenge. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Is there a more constructive use of that time, while getting the same dopamine hit? I suppose the obvious answer is freelance markets, but I doubt many people are paying out for "just" refactoring.
Chrome's the fastest browser on the market. That, along with some nice marketing strategy is what makes it the absolute market leader.

The reason Chrome is so fast, is most likely thanks to the performance (harmless) data it collects.
Firefox may be proud of not collecting as much data, but (at least on macOS) they spend twice the battery to render twice as slow.

Not saying you shouldn't be able to choose what data you're collected (which, you are) but there are reasons (not necessarily evil) to get that data to the devs.

Yes you are right, records have been around for a long time.

COBOL was a popular, very early language supporting hierarchical data of different types. This dates back to approximately 1960.

FORTRAN didn’t have records other than I/O “records” (at least for the first 20 years). ALGOL-60 didn’t have records. Algol-68 did have records, however Algol-68 wasn’t in very widespread use. I never had an opportunity to use it; compiler technology at that time wasn’t really ready for such a challenging language. Algol-68 may not have had widespread use, but a number of it’s features made their way into influential languages like C, Pascal, and Simula. These languages did have records.

As I recall, IBM’s PL/1 did have records, I seem to recall using them in the 70’s in a PL/1 program. PL/1 was kind of an amalgamation of FORTRAN and COBOL’s features.

Initially I responded with poor reading comprehension, so allow me an attempt at elucidation.

Elemental aluminum will react spontaneously, at room temperature, with water; liberating hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic generating a lot of heat. Both the hydrogen and heat can be used for energy. Heat for heating the home in winter and the hydrogen gas for fuel cells and accessory power.

The reaction needs nothing more than a reaction vessel to hold moderate pressure. A simple stainless vessel would work. The pressure being whatever you want to store your hydrogen at. More than likely, though, you would just go ahead and convert it to electricity with a fuel cell, in which case you don't need to store it.

Aluminum can be stored in blocks, outside. I envisage some northern resident walking outside on a brisk morning with a hack saw and removing a chunk of aluminum to throw in his 'furnace' (reaction vessel) to warm his house and charge his phone, etc. Afterwards you need to drain off the water and collect the alumina/aluminum hydroxide and toss it in the recycling bin.

Aluminum is basically free to store as energy. It requires no maintenance, no upkeep, doesn't degrade appreciably, easily transported. Hell you could build your house out of it. It's akin to wood.

Use cases: Remote residences in the winter. i.e. solar is garbage and no one is shipping you a nuclear reactor.
> I have no idea what your Potemkin regulation is

Nations such as China erect fig leaf regulatory regimes that are both ineffective and corrupt and are designed to attract Western capital that are avoiding the regulatory burdens (environmental regulation, labor regulation, etc.) in Western nations. These are Potemkin structures in that they offer plausibly deniable cover to the Western establishment for the purposes of trade agreements and other international instruments.

> if unions hadn't existed, you'd still be slaving away 6 days a week (minimum), 10 hours a day, your children would be working instead of going to school and everything labor related would certainly have been worse.

This is not historically accurate.

For example, Henry Ford actually increased wages (without worrying about unions, and he had literal enforcers to bully people.)

He claimed to be doing it for altruistic reasons, and so that workers in his plants could afford a Ford, but the real reason was because he had to, because people could choose to work elsewhere, even if they had to move. Also, he attracted people from other cities and states to move to Dearborn.

This is the real antidote to union-busting and union-towns. Any job that basically needs a person can always be paid minimally, but multiple employers have to compete for that person; perhaps an alternative job is far away, but mobile people will always be worth more because their market is larger. It was a bit different 150 years ago during the Industrial Revolution, because of information asymmetry and the cost of relocation.

So why form a union? Just get a better job from an employer that literally values you more. It's not like these companies don't exist.
For the kill each other, it's really a deep deep issue in education. Nothing to do with anything else really. You have to educate kids into a sort of national unity thinking.

I come from France, and we're not perfect, far from it. But I was raised, not so long ago, to tolerate very diverging opinions. I enjoy debating calmly with communists, nationalists, muslims or europeanists. As long as we agree France comes first, our little divergences second, I stay polite and agree to disagree. After all, they may be right, and I wrong, so I just discuss to gain perspective.

What I see in US debates is that everything seems so existential. Hearing someone disagree is so painful and deeply disturbing, on both sides (there seems to be only 2, another problem), that people I see debate seem to forget that end of the day, they and their descendants will have to live together forever. Better embrace the fact it's done and final, and start finding little ways to be nice about it.

This likely doesn't apply to a lot of people here, but I have several friends for whom a new set of tires is a substantial portion of the value of your vehicle. When you're driving a $2,000 car, buying $600 worth of tires probably doesn't make a lot of sense.

Of course, you could buy used, but I would wager most of the things that make winter tires good in the winter tend to wear out by the time they make it to a used tire shop.
