ergonomics are a key point for me. using a gooseneck tablet holder to hold an x86 tablet (i talked about the Dell Venue 11 Pro i used for many years recently[1]). a bluetooth keyboard (the Lenovo), small bluetooth speaker, bluetooth headphones, and usb-c battery pack make up the rest. in the future, i'd like to go dual-screen. Linux should let me use a second tablet as an extended desktop in my environment, Sway, and GNOME folks are joining the party now too[2].

i'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan, that supposedly is good to ~75GB before they start thinking of cancelling your contract, that i pay way too much for, because its been years since i've been very nomadic.

i've long been keen to compare post-cap throttle speed across plans. Comcast has some of the best in the business. their unlimited plan is $45/mo, and after the 20GB cap, it does 1.5Mbps down/768k up. whereas those cheap pieces of shit at Google Fi throttle you to 256kbps. put a chain around my ankle and drop me over the side, you terrible monsters. Verizon isn't even honest enough to give you a straight answer: they say you may not experience any drop after their 22GB cap, that traffic is simply de-prioritized, but users report being capped to 600kbps, which i would very much like confirmation or denial on. TMobile's generous 50GB cap has a similar "we won't throttle we'll just de-prioritize you" promise, & i haven't found much info from customers on how it has impacted them.

of course, everything gets way worse when you start hotspotting. i'm afraid to even mention it, but if you buy yourself a non-branded phone, or miraculously can install a ROM (rarer and rarer a possibility!) they often don't come with the tracking/surveillance systems to detect & monitor hotspotting.

If we put everybody in jail we don't have to worry about crime anymore! That's a lot easier than trying to have an informed public who can exercise caution and learn to assess risk in their lives. Besides, only a very small market segment of hardcore freedom enthusiasts really care about freedom. There's not enough money in that market segment to be worth the investment. Most everybody will happy watching television in their cells. Anybody who doesn't like it is welcome to go to the jail run by our one competitor.
Austin has a long tradition of class-based segregation in housing for mid-to-upper-class white people. The majority of the area is what's called "master planned", which is designed specifically to segregate by net worth/income.

I would offer odds on how this turns out, especially considering that the burnouts and stuff associated with car club meets are de jure illegal. All it takes is a cop with a desire to ruin something good.
Larry Wall designed Perl 6 i.e. Raku and created the original parser. I am not sure if he is still actively working on it. The actual implementations, however, were done by others. So like Lisp or C Raku is actually a specification driven language in contrast to languages like Perl 5, Ruby or Python where the most popular interpreter serves as the specification.

I think people who "enjoy interacting with IRL coworkers" should absolutely be allowed to return to their offices, but don't force people who work better from home or have four hour commutes (like me) to come back too.

Some people have been really struggling with WFH and just can't make it work well for them, and they understandably want to get back to the office. That's great, and they should do it! But why not also let people who have been thriving under WFH continue to do it?

I've read conflicting reports on how much more powerful it is in practice. I've seen only one direct review that said the Librem is clearly much faster, but I've also seen a few comparisons that show little to no difference in daily use tasks.

The problem might be that we don't have a quality comparison yet (or I haven't found it), but I wonder if there is a performance bottle neck in the hardware. Maybe the software is still better optimized for the pine and the Librem will start to pull ahead as more developers get a chance to work on it.
I'm just gonna leave this here.

Ask HN: How did you switch from a dev to another role?
I can't see myself being a dev much longer. I also can't see myself moving into another role. I've looked at the two options below and was hoping for feedback from people who have done these.

1. Switch to a dev, or other tech role, at another company. This would mean starting over since my current technologies are not marketable. The jobs in my area seem to be seeking different skills and are generally not highly paid (Philly region). I'm also getting tired of stupid configs or architecture constraints and changes in my current role. I fear it would be the same somewhere else. I'd like to just code and focus on the business problem.

2. Go into management. I don't see a good path for this at my company. They are doing the hybrid approach where you get paid like a tech lead but are expected to do 40% people leader work - why do I want to do two jobs and get paid at the lower of the two salaries? I know there would be a lot of political stuff involved. I just hope that it's better than dealing with the constant frustration of chasing down some config error or switching tech stacks.
You can level this charge at almost anyone. It might be true in certain ways, but it’s not an informative criticism.

That works if inflation turns out to be higher than whatever the lender estimated when you took out the loan; otherwise the expected loss of purchasing power would be priced into the interest rate. Rest assured, the bank knows that you will be paying back the principle with less valuable money, and they're not going to take a loss as a result. A policy which continually ensured that inflation was higher than expected, however, would inevitably result in currency collapse via hyperinflation. Those with means can also generally get secured loans at preferential interest rates, borrowing against the value of their other assets, whereas those without assets are mainly borrowing via credit cards and the like where the interest is far higher than inflation. Penalizing saving and pushing them to borrow instead does them no favors.
Ugh. At least in the US, we already know why.

Due to a pretty dark and nasty history of race-based subjugation; race and inequality were tightly intertwined in this country and we're still untangling it to this day.

So... since finance is an integral component of pretty much every social interaction, economic inequality rears it's head everywhere. Correlation seems like causation and all that, which means that if every single issue is looked at through the lens of "is this racist?" the result is always "uh oh, maybe it is."

I dunno. Seems to me that constantly re-casting economic inequality issues as racial inequality issues is going go to make race relations worse rather than better...

For clarification: PHP never had GIL. And it's a magnitude faster than Ruby or Python.

It's a common misconception to group PHP with Ruby and Python in terms of performance.

Even more now that PHP8 is JIT'ed. Plus async/await is coming with Fibers RFC and already present as modules.

People have been using async PHP in production for years. See Swoole.

I agree. Jumping to the nuclear option or being passive-aggressive/aggressive-aggressive isn't neighborly. It could be a loss of reasonable perspective, they're depressed/angsty/acting out, controlling, or don't understand how to negotiate.

Wouldn't a better option be to introduce ourselves and invited to go to their place to see how loud it is and calibrate so it doesn't bother them for the day and also the night?

Slate.js, even after change to Immer is slow. IMHO (as a person who actively observes the development, sometimes participate in their Slack) the "performance" is not taken seriously in this project. In last few months they provided few PRs that improved few cases, while breaking others. I am impressed how many projects are using it [0], because it has problems to handle editing and pasting huge documents. I also see many PRs from community focusing on optimization but they are ignored, stalled or prematurely closed. It also does not handle IME properly, which is a major problem for many languages. However, I see maintainers started to be more active, so all problems I have mentioned might be fixed soon.

Eurorack is completely booming at the moment. We are quite literally living in a synth golden age. everything from very boring Behringer clones of old synths to all the cutting edge DSP in Eurorack and wacky combinations of audio synthesis techniques, its all there.
To be anal, the root cause of that is using javascript instead of building a native app.

I get that Facebook has the biggest apps on any platform and they run into platform limitations (like number of classes on Android) and build cycles so for them it makes sense to make a dynamic partial-hot-reloading-in-place app development framework, but they're still beholden to the runtime that Apple offers them.

(In theory they could compile JS to a compiled binary that Apple's reviewers are okay with, but I don't know enough about any of that)

This is probably the main problem reddit has had for years. If a sub becomes too popular, it becomes a liability as mods can lock or destroy the sub. What can reddit do? Bring in a mod of their own (powermod) and remove the mods who do not obey. They can always replace the sub with another by tweaking their frontpage algo. Nothing new here, unless all popular subs go dark in protest.
I don't remember anyone paying much attention to perl6 before long after perl had peaked. It was for a while seen as an potential savior for perl but that faded too.

It was more about PHP, Ruby and Python entering the stage and diluting the market for scripting languages by each offering something special that one set of users really wanted weather it be an easier deployment path better standard libraries or a more beginner friendly community.
Thanks! I knew they existed but hadn't investigated for one that would look over past history. Will try out truffleHog.
Yep. And it’s important to note that advances in software/DSP are not isolated from the hardware synthesis world. There is a lot of innovation in digital modules happening right now.

The hardware is simply an interface. The preferred interface for most musicians.
It wouldn't be much of a future if the large amount of existing Perl code couldn't be utilised.

The original vision for Perl6 included a runtime called Parrot which would have been capable of running both Perl6 and Perl5.

If Parrot had been realised, Perl6(Raku) and Perl5 would have been able to interop similar to how Java and the other JVM languages can.

But without that, Raku and Perl remain incompatible so e.g. the existing large Perl ecosystem can't be leveraged from Raku.
If you are in USA, the best thing I found was T-Mobile has at 100GB hotspot plan for $50 a month which each of you can get one.

I have faced this a lot, since I have been a digital nomad for 8+ months now. Other things I did: like downloading songs and movies on my ipad when I have wifi has saved me a lot of GBs. On windows there is a setting called "metered connection", which will make sure it does not download major updates etc over your hotspot.
Yeah, I use to make Android apps. Now I don't see the point.
You mean labor is directed towards actions that produce more value than simply the labor put into them. Odd, its like you think that's a bad thing.
"And, does it reflect reality? Do new populations really preserve the prexisting culture in practice?"

I'm not totally sure what you're presuming integrating with a community should involve, but there's a large gap between preserving and - as in here - actively interfering with the preexisting culture of a community.
For the record, the language is called Raku, whereas Rakudo is the compiler.

Larry stepped back from Perl 5 a while ago, but used to actively contribute to Rakudo until 2017 or so. I haven't seen him around as much over the last couple of years, but then again, I also do no longer keep abreast of Raku development and might jsut have missed it...
> I use Firefox (desktop

So do I.

> and mobile/Android).

I found it unbearably slow on my Galaxy Note 3 with uBlock. The only reason I tried it was uBlock. So I rarely do. I've switched to Brave.

> You sound like a Firefox evangelist

Kind of, but an honest (if not say cruel) one - I always say Firefox is slow. I also use Chrome on slower machines.

> There are real site where Firefox is buggy or slow. Youtube is one of them

I don't know a single site where Firefox would be buggy but it indeed is slow - on all of them. On YouTube in particular yet still pretty much usable. On a modern PC the difference is easy to ignore. I watch a lot of YouTube in Firefox Every day and I enjoy the "picture in picture" mode. I have hardware decoding enabled and high-FPS and high-res (above 720p) modes disabled as I don't appreciate them.

> "You don’t magically get your MIT license back by forking before the license change"

Am I understanding this correctly. If for example, 15 years you have an MIT code base with only MIT code. Then yesterday, you add a few lines of GPL code. Then today, you remove 100% of the GPL code you just previously added in order to revert back your codebase to be only MIT code ... it's no longer "MIT"? The GPL has now tainted their entire existing codebase?
it's a race to the bottom
Not saying this is a good or bad thing, but one way to make laws not be selective is to have mandatory enforcement and mandatory sentencing required for every law. If the law could be interpreted to apply to a situation, then it does apply to a situation in this model. Laws would be very carefully written under this and extremely well specified. With this you could be much more sure that a law is applied as written, whereas at the moment you have to continually look at the results of cases and can't see when people are let off the hook because someone in an authority position is well disposed to the person because they are friends with them or for other reasons. This can happen before a case goes to trial or during the trial.
Yes! Invite them over and figure out what volumes are acceptable. If they're not aholes, they'll probably be okay with it. Get them a beer or coffee even.
> Arizona has high interest because it has the five key factors for semiconductor fabs – available land, infrastructure (power, water, etc.), skilled talent, no natural disasters, and favorable tax incentives.

Not sure if the author is simply reciting received wisdom of dubious accuracy. Perhaps some of those things are far more important than others--e.g. pre-existing talent and tax incentives.

Or maybe our assumptions are wrong. Last month I made a similar point as yours regarding water and nuclear power plants in Nevada, to which someone replied noting the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, the largest power plant in the United States, which sources its water from sewage. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26176034 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_... In addition to providing an example of water utilization, I imagine the cheap power produced by Palo Verde probably also figures into siting preferences.

Verizon drops you to 600kbps after the first 15GB, and then further deprioritizes your traffic from there after you hit 22GB.

For what applications is 5ms more useful than 15 or 30? Much of that latency is in the last mile transport / multiplexing / buffering. I’m 7ms from Google Cloud/AWS Oregon regions from Seattle - distance to the data center is rarely the latency driver (with perhaps the exception of tier 2/3 markets - but then again, where’s my Cheyenne, WY edge zone?).
It's also possible to have one connection to multiple origins with HTTP/2 (as long as they are on the same IP/port). I wonder if it's recommended though, since I've noticed this only on Safari so far.
Its a phone you can purchase from their website that they will send to you. The purchasing process is exactly the same as buying a galaxy s21. If companies could just say "this is an unfinished product" to get around mandatory warranties, everyone would do it. PinePhone should not be exempt because they are selling what they call a beta product.
Semi truck driver. I have a laptop, and a phone. I use the phone's hotspot.

"Being on the internet" is not part of my job, and many nights I don't bother to take the laptop out of its bag.

I never use wifi because I'm paranoid.

While driving I listen to podcasts or streaming. I never predownload anything.

I don't know if I ever get throttled. Sometimes, even in this day and age, I'm out of cell range, and my podcasts pause.

I might watch a movie on the phone once a week or so.

Which is not at all helpful to you, except possibly to observe: the less you need, the better it is.

Your lifestyle and work may just be five or ten years ahead of it being worthwhile for businesses to provide what you need.
The flip-side of this is a lot of open source software is written for its own end. I've learned to be very careful about assuming something is a good package just because it seems to have nice looking docs and a bit of popularity. You will often find something with a TOOOON of different features and switches, but upon closer inspection it turns out all of it is subpar. And I don't mean it in a perfectionist sense, just bad in a way that it's unlikely it has ever been used and iterated on in production. When hiring one should be careful not to foster this kind of culture inhouse.
I agree, maybe removing the extension from the public facing web store is a better solution. But at the very least, allow the extension to be installed if you have the "hard to guess" URL. I do this with my app that requires a desktop app to be installed since it requires native app messaging.
HOAs are at least voluntary and hyper-local associations. I hope to never live in housing covered by an HOA (and I can avoid it), but I support other people who willingly or actively prefer to live under those arrangements.

Restrictions that an HOA might adopt can be more carefully tailored to the residents there than a city-wide ban on using tools not commonly found in a residence on a car. (Imagine if this law applied to electronics repair. "Sorry, most people don’t have a Pentalobe screwdriver, so no Apple portable repairs for you; take it to a shop like a good little consumer!")
