> notably no one ever fought the confederates in pop culture...

That could be worth unpacking, that one. The confederacy get remarkably good treatment by comparison. I think there's maybe a couple of Westerns on the subject? By comparison there's a lot of films depicting them as misunderstood honorable victims of circumstances.

Having watched a lot of bad 80s films in lockdown, it's remarkable how many post-apocalyptic settings look like New York if it was never cleaned up. The peak of course is Escape from new York
But the rest of it was. The part in the first half of my message and the linked video is entirely free-market.

Good ideas!

We are already working on plans for DNS. BGP has been in the back of our minds for a while but we haven’t had the bandwidth to start seriously looking into that yet. If you have ideas get in touch!
I've found more problems with insufficient mocking as opposed to excess mocking. If you're not using mocks, you're likely using real dependencies. And that's where you get molasses testing. One small code change has cascading effects on tests, and small feature changes that take a few minutes to implement can result in a day or more of just fixing the affected tests.
Your first example would be dead simple to detect and take advantage of to get those boosted speeds all the time. Your other two examples are a bit wild.
Neat! Makes sense.
A line like this (and Reddit sources) makes me question the authenticity of this story.
I switched because Google removed the ability to log in and sync settings, history, password, etc. (I realize that in this case I'm directly giving Google my data) but it was a super nice feature.

Brave's Sync v2 works decently well.
That's why you have a combination of rotating backups, say 7, one a day, and non-rotating permanent backups, say once a week.

Also, one should use "append only" backups (such as tape), or a disk drive designed to be append only with hardware write enables.
I don't have much to add to this, but I relate completely. I can feel myself mentally deteriorating as I repeatedly choose to take the path of least resistance for optimum entertainment, which in turn just leads to increased boredom.

Awesome chairs, and have held up perfectly for 3 years now. People complain the cushions are 'hard' but that's because they actually support you rather then just compressing to nothing. The one thing I did do was add some slip on cushions to the plain plastic arm rests.

I mean, why do all this theater when there is a much better long lived and respected tradition: Burial-at-Sea. Roughly 60% of the US pop lives within a 100 miles of a seacoast.

Wrap them in something organic for presentation, a weight stone, then, go out to sea (with family along option -others may be ok with remote video) and let them slip into the ocean like sailors buried at sea.

No creepiness, no vicarious cannibalism via eating veggies nourished by uncle Vinnie or aunt Mathilda or anything.

Traditional burial-at-sea.
What is inflammatory is the way a part of the Rust community deals with other languages.

You are right is not just ISRG, but it is part of this big masonry-like movement forming to replace C++, not by virtue, but by force and politics. Unlike any other language out there that is trying to do it in a clean manner.

Android for instance was the last asset with a takeover in this hostile manner, no other language out there ever did before. Despite we have tons of other safe memory languages out there.

I cheer for Rust the technology, to grow, but lets care about the language, because its not enough we work so hard to make things work, we still need to feel miserable, no matter the things you have done, because you are not using a pink t-shirt (one vector on a multivector of preferences and goals).

Is the end there is much more details into why we choose X and Y.

A lot of C and C++ code are out there, and with them a lot of great knowledge. man-years of work, of life into them.. they are wonderful pieces of engineering, and yet, just because they are "not written in the right language ™" it will force by culture and not by virtue that they get kicked off like garbage.

This is totally disrespectful, and most of the time is pure marketing and salesman pitch. Rust has yet to prove itself in a lot of fronts, and this will only happen with time.

I've seen Daniel being constantly bullied to feel miserable for having its tool in C, in Twitter, in mailing lists.. and he is just a sample..
You are the first person I’ve seen with anything good to say about the Embody. I have two friends that sold theirs and I tried it for a week before getting an Aeron.
Because it's not your computer to control anymore?

It reminds me of when My Computer was renamed to This PC, and My Documents became Documents --- a subtle way to say it's not yours.

The latest anti user trend is of course that of referring to computers as "devices".

I've never really been a fan of analogies, because I feel like in the end I just need to first understand what the thing is underneath, so I can understand how the author has built their analogy... so the task of understanding why they used this analogy is equivalent to understanding the thing itself.

Runner-up: Herman Miller Mirra (2 years)

- I find the Mirra than the Aeron and more comfortable for my body (2 years on the Aeron)
- I've used various Steelcase models and liked them but not as much as the Mirra or Humanscale (~7 years on various Steelcase)
- My issues tend to be caused by over exercising and I think the relaxed options with Humanscale are good for this.
Which is why you need a level above the individual to protet from attacks.

It sucks locking things down for each employee, and subjecting them to bureaucracy to unlock things they need to do, but it's better than ransomware.

It's unrealistic to expect every employee to catch hacking attempts 100% of the time.
Can I ask why you don't/haven't insulated your house?

I'm not asking to pick on you, I was wondering if it's just impossible given the construction of the homes, or what. During the power failure, I saw it mentioned that homes were poorly insulated. What gives?
Forget beta. Apple's production iPhones go into thermal shutdown several times a year for me where I live. Most recently, yesterday.

You can tell it's getting close because the screen will dim.

The tech bubble has never understood that the rest of the planet doesn't have the same weather as San Francisco.
The apple thing apparently predates Paradise Lost. It may have come from a Latin/Greek pun, or was possibly lifted from Greek mythology. And apparently neck lumps being called "Adam's apples" predates Paradise Lost by at least a few years.
I got a MARKUS for a few years now and am using it daily for the last year and a half and have been doing fine. It's not adjustable except for the high and spring tension, but it fits me fine I guess. As long as I mind my posture I have no complaints so haven't found the need to find a new chair because I'm afraid they won't sit as nice, even when more adjustable.

But maybe the biggest reason for me to not have back pains might not be this or a specific other chair, but the fact that I don't need to sit in my car seat 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. You can do a lot with good posture and regular breaks when you're in an office chair, but in the car you are just stuck there for the entire ride.
All the comments on the article are really extremist. So I looked up Zerohedge and found it 'is a far-right libertarian financial blog' and 'is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis' .. so I guess that makes sense.

Not sure why anyone would be bearish of a beta product that is only just scratching the surface of its potential.
When I first started development work (my background was in engineering math), couple of my colleague mocked me for liking c# and .net. They responded by saying, “I don’t want to reply to that because I don’t want to say anything insulting”. This was in regard to good backend language for crud web server with somewhat complex business logic. Responder worked in my team, and I was their manager.

It really lowered my confidence, as I had comparatively less dev exp than him. It is good to see HN also sees c# as solid and good language.
Yes, I certainly do -- especially Qt.

I'm always wondering whether my preference for this more "traditional" design paradigm just comes from using Win32 in my formative years or some objective difference of quality.

It's my opinion that your reaction to his comment is, for lack of a better word, cringe. Personally, I am more likely to purchase the DLC now after seeing that the developer has a backbone. I don't understand the reaction you're having. He told someone completely unrelated to you to "Shove it up your ass," (justifiably, imo) on a reddit comment. It is very strange to me that this affects your decision to play Factorio.
Sure it is still the same field, but far too many “experts” today are charlatans operating on inherited credibility, in all the fields.
I don't need people to agree with me. There's the USA salaries survey and whatnot that shows you're in the very top.

I have had a terrible time finding a good desk chair. The center post for office chairs over time warps and bends. I’m 210 pounds so I’m a bit hefty I understand, but after a while, usually about three months, the chair starts to lean and become terribly uncomfortable. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on these chairs and the only thing that seems to stand up is a hardback chair on wheels
What I do is see if it can be read by an independent system. For example, many dvd players can read media files plugged into a USB port. Put some media files on your backup drive, and see if your dvd player can read them.

It's not a chicken and egg problem. It's Apples fault/intention.

They had really bad support for OpenGL and wanted developers to use Apple's Metal API.
But developers stayed on DirectX (Windows-only) or OpenGL/Vulkan for Linux/Windows/Android crossplatform.
It just wasn't economically viable to develop for Mac.
I've had a Steelcase Leap for more than a decade (maybe getting on 15 years?), still very happy with it. I was lucky enough to get it from a used office supply store for like $600 if I remember right. But I think it'd be worth it for even full price after all this time.
After looking at Steelcase and Herman Miller I had some sticker shock and ended up going with an Autonomous ErgoChair Core

Aeron Remastered here, but it gets used maybe 20% of the time - the rest is spent standing. Any prolonged sitting just puts a ton of undue pressure on my lower body and makes me hot and miserable (being 250 lbs or so does that).

Among the principal tenets of Codd's database model (which is not intended to be a generalized model of relations) are that the database scheme should not introduce either accidental relationships or accidental constraints.

If we represent a one-to-many relationship by making a CSV of the elements of the "many" side, then, for a given X standing in this relationship to A, B and C:

1) We have introduced an ordering that may not be relevant - is "A,B,C" the same as "B,A,C"?

2) We cannot find out whether X has this relationship to B without parsing the CSV, or which entities B stands in this relationship to.

3) We cannot add or remove instances of this relationship to X without updating the whole relationship.

...and so on.

All these are accidental features of the data representation that are not inherent to the semantic domain.

So, when you write "It's bad if you expect that ability in the first place!", you are essentially saying "if we put aside the principles of Codd's model and accept the very problems it was expressly intended to mitigate..."

You can certainly use a relational database to store information in ways that preserve the sorts of problems they were intended to solve - and there will be cases where it does not matter. The normal forms are guidelines for using relational databases as intended, to minimize these problems, when it might matter.

I am getting pretty tired of the Texas energy market. I've got a contractor working up a quote for a generator install right now. WFH with the concern of constantly losing power (especially like in Feb where people actually died) is too stressful for me to deal with anymore.

How do we feel about every Texas homeowner installing a very inefficient ICE from a car next to their house and relying on it as a means to power their homes for days on end? What would the emissions from 500k+ of these units look like over the course of days or weeks (assuming natural gas supply holds)? Perhaps these questions should be considered when decisions are made that could potentially compromise the stability of the power grid, presumably in favor of certain environmental factors. A combined cycle power plant, even burning some shitty thing like coal, is probably better for the environment than 500k cars driving around at 50% load.

When the notification pops on screen, you are granted the rewards. If your OS is not able to show the notification (due to Focus Assist, DND, or some other reason) then you are not rewarded (a future update to Brave will let users control visibility from within the browser entirely).
Ironically, there's another story where a giant steals Thor's hammer and refuses to return it unless he gets to marry the goddess Freya (which, of course, she refuses to accede to.)

Instead of the obvious solution of having Loki shapeshift into Freya and do some mischief, they decide to dress Thor up in a wedding gown and pass him off as Freya, with Loki having to explain to the giant why "Freya" has a beard and guzzles mead by the gallon and her eyes seem to burn red like hateful coals.

Needless to say, it works, because giants are stupid, and Thor gets his hands on his hammer again, and hijinks ensue.

And by hijinks I mean a bloodbath. And giants have a lot of blood.

Option-parsing libs in Python, Ruby and Perl exist for a reason. There's more to it than "splitting a few strings and putting them in a dict" but if you don't know what you don't know stick with PHP.
Our homes are usually very well insulated to keep our cool air in, we also don't usually have multi-stories, just a long ranch home that's easier to cool.

What you saw mentioned during the freeze was the conflating of pipe insulation with wall insulation.

We usually don't insulate our pipes because we don't have freezes, this led to bursting of pipes, that was the main damage during the freeze.

There's flex piping that doesn't need insulation, but squirrels and such can chew through them and it's just expensive to re-pipe your home.

I'm sure everyone that had their pipes freeze most likely has flex piping now, at least partially.
This explanation makes a lot of sense. It also has a slight feeling of Hanlon's Razor, although there isn't necessarily incompetence involved (unless you count the technology's inability to find the absolute fastest/closest server [for whatever reason] as incompetence).

> Most of these start as phishes to lower level employees. It makes sense to me that’ll happen again and I’m not sure I can say the solution is better backups.

Why? Secretary gets a call from a nigerian prince, starts that letter.exe she gets in her e-mail, her computer gets fscked, IT takes her drive, restores a clean image, and she gets back to work.

If the only copy of some important document is on his/her pc, or that pc can overwrite/delete the only copy, then they've fscked up by design... and yes, now better backups would help.
It’s a pretty distinctly different kind of scream though — the same reason we don’t currently get scared when we hear kids playing.

Whiteboxing/Greyboxing/whateverboxing is one of the most important processes that all too many hobbyists don't do, which causes them to burn out on gamedev. They want to _see_ everything working with how it looks in their head, but in reality the game mechanics vs. visuals are very different skillsets that can take a lot of time to master. I would recommend most new gamedevs spend all their time using just default objects in their respective engines. Literally just white/grey shapes that act on user input. If the mechanics feel fun with whiteboxes, they'll feel more fun with actual models/sprites/whatever. But on the flipside, you'll never know if your mechanics are fun if you never make them because you're too busy worrying about water animations.

That's pretty interesting. Does leave me with a different opinion on the service. Not sure if good/bad, just different.

Edit: after a few minutes of thought, I definitely like this less. Imagining my body like a pair of shoes banging around in the dryer or torn to shreds is not a great thought. In a way it's irrational. I don't think of cremation as my body in an inferno even thought that's what it is. I've always liked the idea of just having myself tossed in a hole and a tree planted over me. I've done this with my late dogs and it's always a joy to revisit the tree even after (especially after) years past. Gives me a feeling they are there still. It's odd but such is life, and death.
This is commonly used in the Hr, accounting, finance, and logistics teams in retail companies I’ve worked at that aren’t Amazon. In my experience it’s not uniquely an engineering term.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, I remember two distinct occasions where a computer tried to play a data cdrom as if it where an audio CD through my headphones.

Easily one of the more unpleasant experiences of my life (and I’ve broken bones). Something about the sound triggered a very specific Synesthesia. I smelled a burning smell for half a day.

Pretty neat!

Some UI suggestions:

* When adding a custom format, allow for an "X" to remove it as well.

* Clicking on any of the output formats should automatically copy the text to the clipboard. I like that it selects it, but it also selects the label as well (at least on FF). A straight copy would be more useful.

And some date/time suggestions from someone who's had to deal a LOT with dates and times. I realize you're using libraries for a lot of the heavy lifting, and maybe some of the ideas below aren't what you want to do with it, but they are real needs:

* Allow setting a custom epoch for both input and output.

* Allow setting a location other than the current location for output. Likewise, allow enabling/disabling of daylight savings for the user-provided location.

* It's currently impossible to represent any date before Jan 1, 100 AD.

* Non-Gregorian calendar support would be really, really nice, too (e.g. it's currently 4718 AH using the Chinese calendar and 1442 in the Islamic calendar).

To date I've just been using https://www.epochconverter.com/ for a lot of my day-to-day work, but I like your input more. You may find some ideas there as well.
