I don't mean to get into an argument about this, but as someone who also doesn't have great hair genetics and has looked some into it, "solving" hairloss isn't turnkey and doesn't produce the same results for everyone. There's genetics at play and things we don't know (if any startup/company does solve it, there's a pile of gold waiting for them).

If you want a counter example to your Elon, take a look at Lebron James.

Anyways it's entirely possible Mark has looked into it and doing it what he can (and we're seeing the results of it), or simply he doesn't care as much and is okay with what he has, or I'm off base and he picked this haircut despite having an abundance of hair available to him.
The commands were used to drive a teletype machine. Carriage return and newline were independent operations with carriage return physically taking longer. So \r\n allowed it to get to the next letter soon.

People who make these claims rarely have the knowledge to verify them. Anyone who genuinely wants to evaluate the security of a router can always run a packet capture or do a firmware scan.

Instant Pot has been too much work in my opinion, but sous vide has been a lifesaver. Easy prep, easy cleanup, large margins of error on cooking time if you want to eat in 1-4 hours etc
The problem with this is that a lot of it is actually learned skills. So someone with experience in the game or other games that are similar has a big advantage. Including the people judging noobs who already know strategies for layout etc.
Actually, there are a lot of high wage workers like programmers who opt to work in co-ops because the ownership model aligns with their values and they find the work both financially and also intellectually and emotionally fulfilling. You need look no further than Ampled.com, which has a robust team of "contributors" who are all working to build and improve the platform on a volunteer basis. Ampled has built a system to track everyone's contributions which will be honored down the road once the co-op has more $ in the bank. And these are top notch folks who have come from Kickstarter and other related platforms (and who also clearly have a lot of economic privilege to be able to work in this arrangement for the time-being).
More so than Ubiquiti? I looked at both and ended up with an Edgerouter and AP. Generally I prefer to keep my wifi and routers separate.
Yes UTF-16 / UCS-2 is a silly encoding and in retrospect it was a mistake. It matters because for awhile it was believed that 2 bytes would be enough to encode any Unicode character. During this time, lots of important languages appeared which figured a 2 byte fixed size encoding was better than a variable length encoding. So Java, javascript, C# and others all use UCS-2. Now they suffer the downsides of both using a variable length encodings and being memory inefficient. The string.length property in all these languages is almost totally meaningless.

UTF-8 is the encoding you should generally always reach for when designing new systems, or when implementing a network protocol. Rust, Go and other newer languages all use UTF-8 internally because it’s better. Well, and in Go’s case because it’s author, Rob Pike also had a hand in inventing UTF-8.

Ironically C and UNIX, which (mostly) stubbornly stuck with single byte character encodings generally works better with UTF-8 than a lot of newer languages.

Old bricks and old buildings are fine, they've already been made. But making bricks is pretty energy intensive. Brick laying requires mortar, which requires cement, which results in a lot of CO2. Brick houses are heavy, and require strong foundations. Usually concrete these days, again, lots of CO2. I have no idea at which point it makes sense to grow buildings out of fungi, but if they are a greener alternative to brick & mortar then it seems like an avenue worth investigating at least.
Using real cheese is surprisingly difficult because it doesn’t melt in the nice creamy way without additions.

Sodium citrate for example helps your cheese melt creamily.

The powder likely contains the right balance of additions that give you a great creamy mac & cheese.

> Broadly speaking, robots.txt files are often ignored.

If you wanna go nuclear on people who do that, include an invisible link in your html and forbid access to that URL in your robots.txt, then block every IP who accesses that URL for X amount of time.

Don't do this if you actually rely on search engine traffic though. Google may get pissed and send you lots of angry mail like "There's a problem with your site".
> Windows Phone 10 was actually in a position to support phones for years and even got Qualcomm onboard. It’s a shame the platform was never competitive, and they’d burned all their goodwill on the 7 and 8 fiascos.

Regardless of how much goodwill they burned with 7 and 8, their handling of the WM 10 release nailed the coffin shut. They actually made a release that ran ok, but it was 18 months after the initial release. And Edge managed to be worse than mobile IE, but they were pretending to be Apple and disallowed competing browsers in WP. Grumble mumble, live tiles were nice.
> There is no benefit to YOU by unloading all the issues with a company

I took a bunch of Psych classes in college, and one of the experiments I retained is that if you ask someone to recall their time on a long "thing" (e.g. a job, a relationship, etc.), they place much more emphasis on memories from the beginning and end of it than they do on the middle. So it's not just first impressions that are important, but last impressions too. This goes for pretty much everything btw. Same applies to sales calls, interviews, etc.
I think the answer is that it takes time to get to know someone and their skills. There is no quick simple test. You can give them multiple tests over time if you want.

I think that if you have money for recruiting then you can screen with an initial test, then pay them for a few hours or days of additional tests. And then ideally there is a contracting period that is an additional test but on a real project.
I am not sure that is true. Most of the Western world was reeling from WW1 at that point in time. Lots of young men were removed from the labor force. Quickly there after the rest of the world went into the Great Depression. After that they were on to WW2. I am not sure there are any direct lines that can be drawn from Russian's overthrow of the Czars. There were just too many confounding things that were going on to make a claim that the rest of the world improved because of it. One thing we can say, and it was still my central thesis, is that the majority of those who most supported the over throw didn't benefit from it at all.

Unless they use revenue-based financing, a VC wouldn't invest in co-ops. As you point out, their need for an exit strategy that revolves around an increase in the price of equity doesn't align well with co-ops striving for building longer-term wealth for their community. That's why we see co-ops funded through loan funds, angel investment, and a new breed of equity funds trying to fill the gap, like The Equitable Economy Fund (https://www.equitablefund.net/)

Ask HN: How to help artists in a context where concerts are not allowed
Hi,

I have a lot of friends who happen to be musicians, poets, writers, or theatre actors. The pandemic has frankly killed their ability to make a living where I live, as there are no concerts and the economic circumstances are dire.

I have tried to support as many people as my personal finances could withstand, but this does not scale.

I'm in Algiers, Algeria. Electronic payments barely works. I'm thinking of ways they could produce content and sell it on creator platforms for a more viable and scalable solution.

Do you have solutions or ways that have worked well for you? Were you able to generalize to other categories? I'm asking so I would not reinvent the wheel.

Thank you,
Also chiming in on this: I've been running OpenBSD on dozens of PC-Engines boxes for over a decade (first Alix and then APU2), usually as a full-on firewall HA pair with CARP/pfsync. The APU2 is VERY capable, hardware-wise, and a bargain at the price they sell it. I've had flash memory die, but never had hardware fail otherwise.

I've also done wireless deployments with APU2 and a wifi card, and the range was not great. Things also might be better with better antennas, or under Linux where drivers are likely more mature.
I've never run anything but OpenBSD on them.

I'm even convinced that we actually have a lot of inflation but instead of decrease of the value of money we get decreased value of the base function and durability of our goods. Everything is getting worse because our financial system can't handle durable goods.

Just to get a frame of reference: How much CO2? I'd assume that building once, and then not having to replace it for hundreds of years is the long con and more energy-efficient, if that's the metric we're going by.

Hrm, I need a few more ports. I want at least four ports.

Think OpenWRT would work well on something like this:
https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h2plus/

It's pretty low power (TDP 10 watts or so for the CPU), pretty fast (for a router), max 32GB ram, and has an expansion board for 2.5Gbit x 4 on top of the 2.5Gbit x 2 on board.

Was hoping to hook up two desktops and a NAS with 2.5Gbit, then run GigE for cameras, Roku, etc.
How about latency in the face of interference from other APs?

I just went through a battle helping a friend who is a streamer & who lives in an urban setting with hundreds of ISP provided 2.4 and 5GHz APs visible from her apartment. She had horrible glitching issues when live-streaming which I guessed were due to latency spikes when other APs were talking on the same frequency.

I tried to research what routers support DFS, and settled on a Netgear AC3200 which they claimed supported DFS. However, we could never get it to select a DFS channel, and there was no mention of DFS in the firmware. After a week of useless Netgear "support", I just gave her an old TP-Link 5Ghz router I had laying around. It was running dd-wrt (or openwrt, I can't recall), and had no problem selecting a DFS channel.

Since then, her streams have been nearly perfect.

I just wish DFS was a feature these reviews tested

> but I got to really know data entry with block mode terminals long, long after its hey day (I've certainly come across it back then, but I was rarely a user)

I don't think block mode terminals are necessarily inferior. I see some big problems with 5250 though. The biggest is EBCDIC.

Another big problem is character-at-a-time interfaces let you build things like text editors (vim and emacs), spreadsheets (like Lotus 123), etc. Sure you can build a text editor for a block mode terminal (SEU on IBM i, XEDIT on z/VM, ISPF EDIT on z/OS) but there are just certain features and interaction styles that vim and emacs support that block mode terminals can't do as nicely (example: interactive search). Lotus 123 was actually ported to 3270 (to run under MVS and VM/CMS), I've never used it (I would love it if someone could find a copy so I could!) but from what I've heard it was pretty clunky compared to the MS-DOS / PC version.

Sometimes I think that block mode terminals could have exposed some kind of byte code to enable running some interactivity in the client. Actually real 3270s and 5250s generally had some kind of CPU in them (like an 8080) so I can't see why they couldn't have done that. And of course terminal emulators could do that. Then you could have these more flexible interaction styles that character mode terminals support even in a block mode terminal.

Note that you don't need a marketed-as-"dynamic DNS" provider to have dynamic DNS. You just need a DNS provider with an API.

Cloudflare has a DNS API. So if you search "Cloudflare DDNS" you'll find five or six different Github projects (some binaries, some scripts) you can run on any box in your house (maybe a Pi?) that'll do your DDNS through them.

(You don't need your router to run a DDNS client, even though routers make it seem like a router-exclusive feature. The only thing your router knows that your LAN doesn't is your network's external IP address. But a DDNS client can just hit an external reflector endpoint for that.)

This would have the exact opposite effect. House + Landlord = Rentable unit. If we reduce the number of landlords we reduce the number of rentable units. Driving rent prices up quite a bit, and driving housing units down a little.

Imagine instead we restricted the number of rental units you could own to 0 instead of 2. It would mean that you couldn't rent at unit at any price, driving the price to essentially infinite.

The cool part about being a technical manager is that you can expand the scale of what you are capable of. So for instance if you ever had an idea like "if only I had infinite time and infinite energy I would do X", you can build a team which has the tools to provide that.

If your goal is to have an impact, you have to be lucky to do this as an engineer. There has to be a structure around you which converts your work into value. As a manager it's much more reliable that you can be the person to create that structure.

There is no reason to think he isn't talking about Toronto. Two years ago the average price in Toronto was around $800,000. The assertion was that they are increasing in price by $30-50,000 every 10 weeks for the last two years. That would be an increase of $330,000 over those two years. The actual increase, as of the latest figures[1], is only $245,000. And the latest figure shows up as an extreme outlier. One month earlier the two year growth would have only been around $160,000.

The radio firmware could be executed on different CPU than the Android kernel and communicate with a standard protocol ?
Having come from a working class American family (one which considered even Kraft, let alone Annie's, a luxury), it's the intersection of four aspects:

1. Cheap; yeah, pasta is cheap either way, but real cheese (at least the sort that'd actually be decent in mac and cheese) often ain't

2. Non-perishable; this means we could buy in bulk and not have to worry so much about shelf life, further amplifying Aspect #1

3. Quick; if you just came home from a long day at work, you're not likely to have the energy to prepare some elaborate home-cooked meal every night, so the trusty 'ol blue box it is

4. Easy; one of the first things I learned how to cook when I was growing up was packaged mac and cheese (be it Kraft or some generic brand) - all the ingredients except for water (and, optionally, milk/butter) are right there in the box

These four aspects are applicable for a lot of prepackaged food here in the US. Even if you do add other ingredients (milk/butter to Kraft Dinner, ground beef to Hamburger Helper, etc.), having most of it already ready to go - and cheaply at that - is a godsend for any working class family. And sure, this didn't mean we always ate the prepackaged stuff (my stepmom and stepdad both happened to enjoy cooking from scratch on various occasions, and sometimes it is indeed cheaper to go scratch-made than prepackaged), but it was indeed a staple.
If you're working with an image, you might have an Image class, that has a Image.width and a Image.height in pixels, regardless of how these pixels are laid out in memory (depends on encoding, colorspace, etc). Most if not all methods operate on these pixels, e.g. cropping, scaling, color filtering, etc. Then, there might be a Image.memory property that provides acces to the underlying, actual bytes.

I don't understand why the same is not the obvious solution for strings. len("🇨🇦") should be 1, because we as humans read one emoji as one character, regardless of the memory layout behind. Most if not all methods operate on characters (reversing, concatenating, indexing).

And then, if you need access to the low level data, the String.memory would contain the actual bytes... which would be different depending on the actual text encoding.
