It is as useful at home as it is anywhere else. Failures just cost less at home.

All my switches are bonded to one another, and it was handy when something snapped one of the fiber runs. That side of the house kept connectivity until the weekend when I could crawl around and run a new cable. (Never did figure out why it broke, though. Guessing the house shifted in just the right way.)

It would have hardly been the end of the world if I had to wait, but if your kit can do it, why would you not?
I've seen them integrated into POS systems and I've also paid in-store via their app once or twice (after a promotional offer). However, they also own Venmo, and Pay with Venmo to a business is something they're actively pushing.

once upon a time in another life it seems like, we had a modem hooked to a serial multiplexer in the "core room" in the library, and I swear once I used that to reboot a solaris machine to single user mode, but I probably telnet'ed in (this was before ssh) and then did the init 1 or whatever and then dialed in to the serial multiplexer.
My experience with the Option type in Rust has me convinced that's the way to go.

You're forced to act on the little box that may or may not be empty, and make explicit what to do in both cases.

For someone like me it's wonderfully obvious and easy to understand and make a mental model of.
One wonders how many years of progress were lost due to the lies of Margaret Wiener.
The author could have also mentioned, among the other not-32 heights, the distance from ascender to descender being 31.19 and explained how that's not it either. Instead, he just didn't mention it, as if he was trying to hide it because it was inconvenient to his narrative.

Me too, but not really an alternative - the original tomato isn’t even updated any more, and it’s only configurable in its web ui, so it’s really only for home use.
I like Voltswagen, it's cool, but zero loss if they don't rename too.
Why are there so many security companies
I remember reading about that here as it was happening.
I hope that they manage to secure the union. I don't think that unions have a place a lot of times, that said, the imbalance of employers like Amazon seem out of step with what should be negotiation, and setting what at least appear to be unreasonable terms.

Not to say that unions and employees can't overreach and overreact, in this case I hope they get things through. I also hope that Amazon doesn't close their local facilities as a result.
Probably kind of both at the same time, I think.

Clever puns and wordplay gimmicks seem to always stir up a bit more press and word-of-mouth than just regular business decisions.

Making it interesting without being too complicated to hold the interest of the public is a fine line that a lot of marketing firms are good at walking, although unfortunately some are just terrible.
> Why not? Is that by Pope's decree, or is there an actual reason for that?

By the decree of it vastly increasing complexity and drastically changing the very generic problem a filesystem tries to tackle, instead of just isolating it to its own solution for when it's actually needed and the trade-offs make sense.

> with and without caches, sync and async, so clearly they do optimise for different kinds of access.

That are compatible with the previously existing patterns. Case-insensitive/mapped codepoint full-text search is a very, very different problem and for which you should reach out to the right solution.

And if you want it in your file browser, well nobody's forcing your operating system's human-facing file browser to base its UX entirely on file system primitives.

As for existing tools, I don't know, I don't care for them since I can just organize my files and find them with fd or use a mapping tag-based file-system like tmsu. But I would assume this is the kind of usecase KDE's Baloo or GNOME Tracker intend to solve.
It's fascinating, isn't it? Right! Users . . . :)

Ask HN: How does capability change with age?
I'm an engineer (HW) in my early 40s, I've been lucky to have a good career so far, and have been promoted to a fairly senior position. The issue is I've really struggled this past few months. Im responsible for architecture, and while I've ways had a bit of imposter syndrome, I feel lately I've an engineering equivalent of writers block. It doesn't help that most of my day is taken up in meetings, and 'consulting' on / supporting older projects, but it feels like my inventiveness which I've always prided myself on has waned, and I'm less productive. Is this age? Is it burn out? I've even wondered if it's 'long covid' (not that I was diagnosed with covid at any point), or is it that I've been promoted to the point of uselessness? I'd love to hear if anyone else has experienceed this. Ive always been confident in my enginnering capabilities and have many projects under my belt I'm proud of, but right now I'm wondering it I'm done, if such a thing happens. I want to continue to produce, I just haven't been able or had time. Thoughts?
You're in the boat of deploying OpenWRT or similar low-cost APs presenting the same SSID on a shared VLAN, plugging them into your favorite PoE switch, and manually configuring their channel strengths, etc.
It isn't so bad if it's a one-and-done thing, but all of the out-of-the-box solutions are very IoT.

Enterprise solutions with your self-contained WLAN controller and APs (not including PoE switches) are typically pretty pricey (>$5k, can spend a lot more).
I thought maxmind has some kind of terms change that forced account signup and some other issues 'because of some privacy law' like gdpr - maybe the Cali one?

So it has ruined my second favorite wordpress security plugin - and MaxMind not really usable like it once was (?)
What are the "X" numbers? They are too high to be brightness magnitude. (I think :)
You can (and I do), but it is explicitly not supported. If it breaks, you get to keep both halves.
That's my take too.

They've gotten so far without this functionality that I have to wonder what finally tipped the balance into their offering it.

Local IP would be your 192.168.1.whatever. Apple won't get that unless they capture it on the device. They would otherwise only get your public, nat'd IP with normal tcp/ip.

Local IP isn't identifying, but it's a weird thing to include. And the paper clearly shows that being sent to Apple.

So no the article isn't wrong. I suggest you give the paper a read (or at least a skim) if you're going to try and claim they are wrong about something.
Ubiquiti's response is not surprising. Of course they would lie and deflect about the severity of the attack. They have terrible customer support and awful software update communications; besides, they are hostile to analysts and the press.
Either Ubiquiti made false material statements, or the company is negligent. In both cases, it will get them into hot water.
It's from an old parable, also called Parkinson's Law of Triviality. Basically, simple things get discussed more because everyone can understand them. It goes something like this:

It's interesting that despite its international leadership position, Volkswagen has a rather small share of the U.S. car market. VW captured 2.21% of U.S. car sales in 2020[1].

By contrast, Toyota was 12.53%, GM 17.30%, Ford 13.87%, etc.

Do you work from home? Does your company have any valuable intellectual property?
Worse, why would you need to create a Tesla account and "link a credit card to it" in the first place?

The article doesn't make the point strong enough: but the charging networks are currently all so focused on "accounts" and "memberships", when they could just as easily add an NFC panel and accept Apple Pay/Visa Pay/Samsung Pay/whatever Google Pay is called this year, or even just old fashioned card swipes or new-ish fashioned EMV chip inserts.

Tesla isn't the only one guilty of this "accounts and memberships on networks" mentality, it seems to be infecting all of the American networks right now. (Why are we over-complicating all of this so very hard?)

Wow indeed... I assume that’s a play on “sudo make me a sandwich”?

https://xkcd.com/149/
Upon meta-consideration, I believe (but cannot prove, even subjectively) that it speaks volumes of the cumulative consultancy expertise Amazon has evidently hired to bear down upon this issue just how reasonable Amazon’s requests felt.

Sure, the headline optics of the webcam are bad, but the other requests... what’s not to dislike about them? More careful security and anti-tampering measures, what’s not to like about that? Sure, it’s a bit onerous, but also, who wouldn’t be willing to pay that one-off onus in order to head off the prospects of a contentious result further down the line?

And that’s the thing: I can’t quite answer my own implicit question. I’m pretty sure Amazon is really really upset about this, and they’re preparing to contest the legitimacy of the result, somehow? Is that what I’m getting the feeling of? I’m really not sure, but the whole request’s troughs and valleys strikes me as decidedly odd, and I feel strangely impinged-upon by it. Manipulated, even.

EDIT:

Several commenters have remarked below that it is actually a federal agency which conducts the election process. This is implied (or explicitly stated) to be FUD: Amazon preparing to discredit the election’s integrity by remarking that the unions hadn’t accepted their requests when it wasn’t the unions who could grant satisfaction of those requests (but rather, the appropriate governmental federal agency).

Nitpick: technicians and technologists are distinct in Canada. They operate at different levels in the stack as shown in [1].

I agree with the rest of what you’re saying. However, this system has limitations (moving up in levels) that should be improved on before this model is adopted or imitated.

As the shell developer cannot know in advance which commands and programs you'll use, it becomes a problem of providing a good way for developers to provide the shell a way to inspect and complete.

Bash has a very good way of doing that. Actually Debian based distributions have very good completion scripts.

git, apt and other very used programs have good completion.

Is up to the developer.

Well, Daimler announced something similar just about two months ago: https://www.daimler.com/investors/reports-news/financial-new...

It wants to separate its car business from truck business and plans to rename the car business to Mercedes-Benz - the brand name it's been using since virtually forever. It's probably also a PR stunt, I don't know.
I don't know the situation well enough to say what I would have done to fix it. But I definitely would have saved the correspondence, and I definitely would have discussed a "soft demotion" in responsibility and power with the other members.

Sort of, a few key differences:

- usually these are running with very few dependencies in the userspace stack, such as a getty directly spawned by init (or the modern equivalent arrangement). This means that it's accessible even if your networking stack is not working, or if you screw up your firewall config. You can even make sure your init / getty / bash are statically linked so that not even ld.so breakage will stop you.

- it looks like they're also enabling Linux's Magic SysRq features, which gives you some very raw hooks into the kernel itself.

The earlier models of compute stick had serious EMF issues with their USB and 2.4Ghz radio to the point that some configurations were practically unusable. This turned a lot of people away and it never got popular. Not to mention they ran pretty hot even with active cooling.

At the same time Intel was heavily subsidizing their x86 mobile SoCs to tablet manufacturers and for a while it was actually quite competitive price wise but it ultimately went bothered.

No one here is hyperbole. Clearly you and me remember it. That being said, it's not like it was some 9/11 type event where everyone remembers where they were (unless you were in Hawaii I'm sure). In 10 years it's out of the public sphere. Like that plane that crashed into the ocean (which I'm willing to bet if you asked Gen Z about they would wonder if you were talking about Lost on Netflix rather than MH370), or all the other similarly-oddball incidents from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that we no longer ever mention in public discourse today.
how do you enable 802.11r on openwrt? on which model of router
The two aren’t mutually exclusive at all. Sure, monopolies often have higher pricing but for something like Amazon where the barrier to entry is just a website, of course they need competitive pricing.

They’re able to offer that competitive pricing because of the enormous economies of scale, bargaining power, etc. that no one else has.
This is a very uncharitable take on Confluent.

They contribute heavily to the project and offer enterprise support, professional services, and proprietary tech like Cluster linking.

The wireless is something for guests, and is hacked together with something you know works with an open router OS, or something off-the-shelf on an isolated VLAN.
It's a "who gets a bigger slice of the credit card fees" problem. All of these networks are way over-complicating the negotiation dance of "walk to a machine and slide a credit card". Yes, "plug and charge" is a great idea, a car can be a great physical NFC token for itself/its owner's credit card, but it's a "nice to have". It's amazing the slow progress of getting at least the "slide a card" fallback working despite, say, decades of gas pumps doing exactly that. (Again yes, a less desirable "ideal", but a practical solution for yesterday.)
Can you run pfsense on an AP or switch or does it only handle gateway/firewall/routing tasks?

That's the case for most ui/ux at a given point for responsive design, regardless of the ppi/size reporting.

Also, I'm refering to text/font rendering, not UX breakpoints, though I do understand the issue... the problem is, short of sniffing the user agent for "phone" or "mobile" there's no way to tell for sure... touch interfaces are unreliable as many desktops also have touch support.

Note: I have used the phone/mobile sniffing to do some things slightly differently for desktop vs. mobile before. For the most part, it's not too big/bad of an issue.. I do know people that don't like certain sites/apps on desktop as this practice has changed though (namely, skype and discord) as a friend liked to use about 1/4 the screen for chat, but the ux now changes to phone ux when too small.
You mean how all these Amazon attack articles are focusing on the systematic problem and not narrowly on a single company /s
T-mobile sold a bunch of rebranded asus routers a couple of years back that are still excellent today and can be had for pretty cheap. Comes with some shitty tmobile spyware I think, but you can flash openwrt on it.

Speed tests are pretty unreliable, but the peak unobstructed wifi speeds I've gotten from that have been better than what I get from my Unifi 6 lite, which supports wifi 6, even on wifi 6 devices. (couple hundred mbps on a home gigabit plan from Nazi Germany I mean Comcast)

That’s actually how we got the Nobel Prizes. Nobel was famous for inventing dynamite.

> Is some part of the Firebase code closed source or less "Open" where the Supabase equivalent is not?

All of the Firebase backend is proprietary, and their client code is open source.

The Supabase backend is here: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/docker

This is the set up we use for every project on our hosted platform. These backend tools are either built by Supabase, supported by Supabase (we employ maintainers), or licensed with OSI-compliant licenses.

Our client libraries are all open source, Apache 2.0 licensed.

Supabase is open source in every definition of the word. I think the problem is our self-hosting docs, so we'll spend the day improving this.

About July 2019 and I quit my job and transferred my whole retirement portfolio into Bitcoin. I think it has gone up ~600% since then, so it has gone quite well. Bitcoin will peak this year and then I don't know what to put the money into. Certainly not stocks at this point in time. Maybe just sit in a stablecoin earning interest (you can get 8.6% sitting in Gemini USD on Blockfi) and wait and see what happens in a year with all markets.

Funny enough you are saying my argument doesn't hold but your reasoning actually falls perfectly in line with my comment.

The argument isn't that all telemetry is good or that we should accept any level of it.

The argument is that all telemetry is not inherently bad.

As the article states, Apple does telemetry too. If you are ok with Apple and not Google, you are agreeing with me that this is a nuanced issue and the specific level of telemetry needs to be debated. If you are taking the stance that all telemetry is bad. You need to find another company to champion besides Apple.
