Sure plenty of solutions out there, but its all going to be Enterprise priced. $600-$700 an AP, plus whatever is going to be the controller. In this space, you'll find cloud based options, controller based options, and standalone.

If you are willing to go this price range, I think FortiAPs feeding back to a Fortigate FW is rock solid solution. But a FortiAP-431F is $616. And a base FG60F as controller is $535 + service if you need it. And although you probably won't need repair options, support/maintenance is a yearly fee ontop of that.

Ubiquity was definately a unique company offering many of the enterprise features for consumer pricing.

Discoverability is an anti-feature. Small groups are good because they have a small number of long term users who you get to know. Everyone is less inclined to troll because they are emotionally invested in the group and being on good terms with other users.

How you end up in these groups is you either get invited by real life friends or you hang around in a big public group for a while, make friends with people who will then invite you to these smaller groups.

Because users have to be invited rather than just finding the group on a search page, the users are of higher quality and share similar interests.
Full ACK but also you can run a local only setup
Sure, but hopefully this isn't enabled for consumer CPUs anytime soon. This is like how EPYC processors (IIRC since Zen 2) have 'platform secure boot' where, once a CPU is in a certain motherboard, the CPU can't be used on a different vendor's boards. This definitely increases security for the cloud providers who don't want to have some 0-day compromise a bunch of customers, even if it means the market for used EPYC cpus will be smaller and/or require sellers list the specific board the CPU used to be in.

I think the other code monkey attribute that makes a “programmer” is the sick addiction/ability to track down a bug for hours or possibly days on end.

> now that it's generally recommended to use rem over em anyways.

Whoa! Apparently I missed the note on that one. I very much favor using em over rem precisely because it is relative to the current font size. This is especially nice with SVG icons:

<h1>
<svg class="svg-icon"><use href="sprite.svg#my-icon" /></svg>
Some Heading
</h1>

h1 {
font-size: 1.5rem;
color: rebeccapurple;
}

.svg-icon {
fill: currentcolor;
height: 1em;
width: 1em;
}

Do you care to tell me why em units are not recommended anymore, and who it is recommending rem in favor of em?

My main gripe with autotools these days is that there seems to be no standard mechanism for specifying non-standard locations for dependencies. (Or if there is, that no packages use it...) If I build something from source, it is nearly always because I want a newer version than what is available from the appropriate package repositories, which usually means that I will want newer versions of the dependencies too, or because I want a built-from-source version of one of those dependencies. If I'm really lucky, pkg-config will pick them up. Sometimes just setting LDFLAGS=-L/my/build CPPFLAGS=-I/my/build will work. Sometimes I have to say --with-gnomovision=/my/build, sometimes I will have to say --with-gnomovision-includes=/my/build/include, ...

There are lots of good ways to advocate for homeless people. Statements assuming they are all, without exception, clearly and obviously sicker (and "ickier") than all other people, without exception, due to being homeless is not one of them.

Many (possibly most) homeless people pass for normal much of the time. It's the obviously highly homeless that get recognized as homeless and become the face of homelessness.

Perpetuating that stereotype as if it is accurate does a disservice to everyone.

I spent nearly six years homeless. I was routinely mistaken for a tourist and I sometimes got panhandled by other homeless people who would then ask me "How do you stay so clean??" when I would tell them "Sorry. I've got nothing to spare. I'm also homeless."

Last time I looked at autoconf et al. from a developer's view -- which is, admittedly, probably 20 years ago -- the documentation was quite good. The discoverability of, for example, the C standard library is also quite poor if you do not read the manual.
It's tough out there. There aren't many jobs out there for that skill level that pay as much as shuffling boxes in warehouses. There isn't much opportunity for advancement no matter how hard you work. It may seem a little immoral, but I couldn't fault people too much for trying to better provide for their family using whatever means are necessary.

The incentives for each layer are geared towards maximizing shareholder value. First layer managers aren't trying to soley optimize box throughput, else they could give raises to incentivize employees better. They are trying to get as many boxes through as possible while keeping costs low. They cut hours to avoid paying OT and sometimes Healthcare. They rule with fear. This forces employees to fight for scraps and do other things they normally wouldn't do like become an ambassador to try to better provide for their families. The moral managers don't advance their careers while the ones good at exploitation do and are promoted. It's a darwinian survival of the most vicious and cunning.
Well the answer is usually something along the lines of, dont be evil to your neighbour (or some variation thereof, whether that's put in terms of utility or universal laws), so i think it is related.

Fair enough. I was looking at this from a pure "fairness" POV in which a perfectly normal article is being flagged, with no way for users to say "hang on, this article isn't breaking any rules, so this shouldn't be flagged."

But if the purpose of allowing this is as another indirect method for keeping flamewars off HN, then I agree that it's an acceptable compromise.
That was a later attack, not the original. Attacks get cheaper with time.
I don’t have a specific example of openly stopping production of a cure, but it’s hard to imagine that research isn’t shaped by this profit drive:

If the profit incentive was removed (let’s say government paid same flat rate for a lifetime supply of treatment, whether it be a cure or a reoccurring pill) I have no doubt more cures would be discovered
Although I use PyCharm as my daily IDE, I nearly always have a Sublime Text instance running in the background. I use it for note taking, small scripts, and so much else.

Granted, PyCharm is likely capable of most of the same things, but there's something about Sublime Text that is just so... frictionless. I don't feel like it expects anything from me.

The rise of VSCode has saddened me in certain respects. VSCode is great, and if I didn't have PyCharm, I would probably end up using it instead, but there are still certain things that it can't quite (and likely never will) surpass Sublime Text in (record/replay macros, power usage efficiency).

(I do hope macros will be improved to run all commands, rather than just text commands, but that's likely low on the list)

On a different note, I still consider the development of a continuation-like mechanism[0] for Sublime Text's API as one of the things I'm most proud of creating (if I recall correctly, Python's Asyncio library was still in the early stages back then, and `await` hadn't even been proposed).

Anyway, I just want to say, thanks Jon and Will, Sublime Text has had such a positive impact on my life as a programmer.

You keep reposting this Nature article but it is vacuous. There are many "guilt by association to Trump", "false equivalency to outrageous conspiracy theories", etc. and other non-good-faith argumentation that the author relies upon. This does not give confidence in her motives.

There are a few much more substantive sites with analysis into the genetics and circumstances around the virus, which emerged since the April 2020 which your Nature article cites as its primary source.

Neither does the 737 MAX.
It does not just pitch up randomly. It does pitch more than other 737s due to engine size and placement, but that's just the specific behavior of this plane.

Stalls are not a serious problem, they're basically the first thing pilots learn to solve. And there are plenty of aircraft that are more challenging to fly. That's what training is for.

The real issue is that pilots should have full understanding of the behaviors of the airframe instead of relying on software to change it. Especially when they don't have full understanding of the software either, and the system can both override manual inputs while being susceptible to faulty sensors.
I don't think it really started to settle down until .Net Core 3.0 which is just 18 months ago. Five years ago it was version 1.0 and a bit of a dog on all platforms.
Yeah, that's true, using librdkafka from C# I hit a few issues where librdkafka was somewhat behind Java in terms of features, I think the one I hit was multi-topic subscriptions.

IIRC Confluent has started putting resources into it - I would hope so, given how .NET Core is going.

That said, the state of Pulsar clients outside of the official Java ones was far worse, I was looking into .NET Core ones and the "official" one (Pulsar-DotPulsar) lacked some key features, whereas a third party one, pulsar-client-dotnet, had far more features, but was still somewhat behind the Java clients.

Caveat is that I looked into all of this when Pulsar was at version 2.6, it's not at 2.7.1, so my comments may well be out of date.
What I wonder about is the democratization of technology.

Basically, the technology available to the folks with "unlimited global resources" trickles to the left and becomes available to even to those with lesser skills/motivation.

For example, databases and tools formerly available only to governments are widely available. Things like DL data, wifi ap databases, rainbow tables, gps trackers - a web search + a credit card.

You can connect the Google mesh routers together with Ethernet. I’d guess other competing products will do the same. It’s cheaper and much simpler than a full Ubiquiti setup for a few access points.
Theoretically, all else being equal, money should not lose or even gain purchasing power as technology advancements increase productivity. I (and many others) have to stick my wealth in scarce assets or investments to avoid inflationary monetary policy. Bitcoin serves this purpose well, in ways that real estate, gold, and equities don’t. Everything but cryptocurrency is highly regulated, taxed, and custodial.

Bitcoin is just the beginning. With private transactions (ring signatures, stealth addresses, shielded amounts), and proof of stake or voting consensus, there will soon be no way for governments to know who is transacting what, who owns what, or restrict the movement of capital.

I’ll give you an example. I moved overseas, and all major brokers (Ameritrade, Vangaurd, Schwab, etc.) refused to serve me because of regulatory burdens. So what should I do? Everything but Bitcoin is illiquid or custodial. The future of cryptocurrency is my capital not being beholden to the whim of custodians and governments.

there's a huge difference between serious art and serious cultural activity.

like experiencing national parks for instance, pack in pack out just like i had to do in boy scouts (and hated i'm not the outdoors type).

hipsters are only there for the "hip" factor. hipsterism as a culture is the mainstream. it's basically a cartoon version of itself, and we're worse off for it. people tried to counteract it within art and things like that, however it has no effect because the hipsters just latch onto it and you're back at square one again.

it's almost like we've gotta go back to book clubs and leagues and things like that, or somehow have some kind of platform like this mixed with twitter where you can have some kind of long form serious discussion, with real evidence (even observances). just like that dude said somewhere else in this thread, probably about half or more of these people are just taking photos for insta.

except there's nothing wrong with even that. it's the "just" part, and the lack of general respect for others and their environment. it is a trend that needs to end or we're over as a species and i'm not even making a joke.

somehow, some way, we need to make the lowest common denominator mentality we have made socially acceptable, socially unacceptable, and the design of our social systems and technology need to reflect it.

I also used to feel saddened by VSCode's rise. Thinking that Microsoft had essentially ripped off sublime and made an inferior version of the product I loved. I resisted VSCode for a long time.

And then, I ran both VSCode and sublime... But now, I just run VSCode. Sublime is better at getting out of my way, but VSCode is perhaps the perfect IDE. With the best of both worlds of what sublime offered, and what heavier IDEs offered.

There are lots of things better about sublime, but VSCode has better integration with _everything_, making it the version of sublime I always wanted.

Before I switched to VSCode, I spent a few evenings trying to get Omnisharp to work in sublime. I got it working, and the UI was kinda bad. I gave up, and switched to VSCode.

It's really the extension API, and the community plugins for VSCode, and of course Microsoft direct support for c++/c#/everything else.

VSCode is going to take over all IDEs. I'm certain of it. It's so good.

Sublime is cleaner, and there will always be a place for that (vim, anyone?), but the plugin ecosystem for VSCode is reaching that critical mass point.

Our developer experience for building and debugging c++ in VSCode is unmatched. Not to mention the docker integration, and the ease at which custom tasks can be built.
Yep, it's available from Confluent if you pay for it, but like how Mirror Maker 2 is awfully similar to Confluent Replicator, I believe that Kafka will (eventually) get tiered storage under the Apache licence (I know there's a KIP for it[1]). It's a hard issue to solve, and not sure how much effort in the community is being directed towards it. But bear in mind that it's not just Confluent who have a stake in Kafka - there's a bunch of big corps selling managed/supported Kafka and all of them would probably quite like tiered storage in core Kafka as a feature to help them sell their support/management, so I have some faith in their enlightened self-interest.

The fact that MM2 happened, and Confluent didn't try to stop it, despite it being awfully similar to Replicator, makes me think that Confluent are acting in good faith.

Incidentally, I quite like how Pulsar solved tiered storage, and it's a definite tick in the Pulsar box - it's transparent from a consumer's POV, although there somewhat of a delay in rehydrating the offloaded block, I don't think anyone's expecting near-realtime performance when loading historical data.

A bit off topic, but:

> all sorts of annoying reminders

Could that be the topic of a blog post? I'm interested in security and I've understood that I'd better avoid browser add-ons, but what more to not do?, from you & your team's perspective

> listen because we both respect each other

Ok yes "respect each other" sounds like a better way of saying that.

Fortunately, where I work, I can be as paranoid as I want wrt security :-) and postpone "deadlines" if needed, to do security stuff instead.

> And if you can do that--get them to listen instead of having them immediately shut down

I find it a bit interesting that soft skills (helping teams respect each other) can "convert" into and catalyze hard skills, I mean, secure IT systems
