I'm deeply suspicious of the EDF sizes. Those fans must be running with very high airflows and rates and I can only imagine this thing is incredibly loud during take off and landing. The boxwings give a lot of lift for the overall footprint and the tail fans and it looks doable for stable horizontal flight.
Rand may be a doctor (opthalmologist). But he is a politician first and foremost. He has consistently played semantics throughout the pandemic to try and win political points.

In this case, he is arguing that cloth masks don't work. If he wasn't playing politics, his argument would be, "we need to get n95 masks into the hands of the public". But he is pretending that option doesn't exist and keeps arguing that "masks don't work" just to contradict public health officials.
If the ambient humidity is low, 120F outside of direct sunlight is very survivable. Provided you can stay hydrated and don't wear sweat-trapping clothes...
I think the wreck in the Thames estuary is of genuine concern to the prospect of building a new airport for London on reclaimed land there. The ship would need to be dealt with before building the airport, which surely would require exploding it, which would in turn break windows 10s of km away. Building new international airports for major cities is already expensive before you consider that!
And I would say VSCode has its own annoyances but due to the fact there are few other good options (that are native Mac at least) its still praised.
I tend to avoid them, specially in C++ where better mechanisms are available.
The IPCC is focusing on sensationalist & self-admitted "unlikely" models in their editorials. It's not even the majority view of the models that are being trumped up. Sensation sells. Money talks.

The role of human emissions as the key driver of climate change has plenty of doubt & plenty of money involved pushing a pre-determined outcome with the purpose of imposing taxes & centralizing power.

In the meantime, humanity is left unprepared for cosmic & geologic events (volcanic activity is driven by ionic activity from space) that are going to occur within 1-2 decades which will have drastic impacts. Since other planets in our solar system are seeing major perturbations in their climates, we should take nature more seriously.

There are other models that more heavily use solar forcing, which are gaining in number. It seems like there is increasing momentum in models which feature Solar forcing & recognizing the Geomagnetic field strength as a major factor in climate. These are all just models, but there are a growing number of scientists who are taking natural cycles more seriously than the APGW crowd.

http://www.raa-journal.org/docs/papers_accepted/2020-0449.pd...

The big global institutions are behind APGW with $Trillions invested in that industrial complex, but there are many independent scientists who are finding that natural phenomena have always been and are still the key drivers of climate change. My bet is on nature, not the wealthy 1% owned institutions with PR departments & editorial spin.
I think most people when they hear the word "censorship", at least in the US, understand that it's generally not objective and pushing an agenda.
> File coin has structural problems like you cant mine filecoin without first buying filecoin to stake

Why do you consider this a structural problem?
I'm really surprised (and discouraged) to see how many people here are so enthusiastic about this. There is so much room for misuse. You're increasing your dependency on an external corporation, giving them more control over your development environment, giving up much of your autonomy, and somehow this is a good thing?

Development environments being overly complex to setup, long compile times, those are symptoms of software bloat and bad design, but instead of addressing these fundamental problems, people want compilation to happen externally on a 32-core machine so they can sweep those problems under the rug. Okay, let's see how that turns out.
Nah. I'm good. See ya 1password.
Signal messages are effectively signed as part of the protocol. Signal releases data to allow your correspondent to forge that signature after they have received your message. Then you have to attempt to claim a forgery in a system specifically designed to allow such a claim.

PGP does the identity verification out of band. So you can simply not sign your message and completely eliminate the problem in the first place.

So it seems odd to suggest that PGP is inferior to what Signal does.

>This means when I send you a PGP mail, I'm actually providing proof - which anybody can verify - that I really sent that email.

PGP prevents access to signature information with the encryption. So you would need access to the private key of the person I sent the message to before you can verify my signature.
That was most likely what we here in Sweden call an "a-lagare", in other words an alcoholic.
I understand how EEE is supposed to work. My claim is that it doesn't actually work, at least not for this use case.

So for my argument, SourceSafe vs. Git is a great example. :-) You simply can't keep up with a proprietary tool that does its own stuff. You have to use Git. Microsoft tried having a custom version of Git for Windows OS development, and decided that they weren't even able to get themselves to fall for the trap - they ended up getting involved in upstream Git development and turning all their extensions into standard features.

There are definitely cases where if you control the platform you can control what people are doing. I'm arguing that Microsoft has no actual effective control of the platform here.

> Uber's thousands of engineers

Why does Uber need a thousand engineers?

The first time I used Uber was 4 years ago. It felt like a complete product. I understand the constant need for expansion around the world requires engineering to scale up servers in multiple regions, but does that really take a thousand engineers? Do they really need thousands of people to handle the feature creep?

I'm just finding it hard to believe that there's enough work to do on a ride hailing app to keep thousands of engineers busy.
1Password used to be native on the Mac, and now it's an Electron app. I'm not going to be using 1Password for this reason, and I encourage you to do the same.

Subscription business models and non-native apps are hallmarks of rot by VCs. Dump them!
This makes sense to me. Lots of other products have head in the same direction over time (e.g. YNAB) for similar reasons.

SaaS is familiar to consumers and ultimately a nicer business model for most products. If you support SaaS for new customers, maintaining the old product / pricing model indefinitely eventually stops making sense. At some point you have to make a move like this.

It is probably particularly timely to do this because Lastpass recently changed their pricing model (whether deliberately aligned or not). It's no longer possible to use the free plan of Lastpass and use it on both desktop and mobile: you have to pick one or the other. For many use cases this is effectively a requirement to use the paid plan. So now 1password has the opportunity to push legacy users to a paid monthly subscription knowing that some portion who may have switched to Lastpass to avoid a monthly fee now won't be able to do so, and will probably just pay the monthly fee to 1password instead.
Congratulations! You have managed to put an emoji on HN!
Still using v6 and not planning to upgrade
I think it comes down to knowing what you don’t know and thinking it’s a limitation or ignorance of the unknown thus assuming you know it all.

If I get asked how good I am at something I try to elaborate on how I was able to use it to solve all my problems but I’m aware there are components that I have never had a reason to touch. With reason, I could probably figure it out like I have before is my mindset.
It does not feel native to the OS. It does not have the same font styling, color styling, windowing behavior, and keyboard/mouse behavior as a native app.
I think a lot of times the reason local dev environments are fragile isn't because they're local, it's because they are an afterthought and not a lot of effort goes into making them good and stable:

(1) On a team of developers, there usually isn't someone who is designated to be responsible for designing and maintaining a good dev environment.

(2) Many devs don't have the expertise to do it. Build tools, operating systems, dependencies, and configuration management are a related but different skillset than coding.

(3) Many devs don't want to work on it because they enjoy coding more. Just because you enjoy one type of work doesn't mean you enjoy the related work. (This also applies to writing documentation.)

(4) Fixing / improving the dev environment is not rewarded. You need to get X feature done by Y date, and fixing the dev environment may slow you down. It provides a long-term benefit, but not one that is easily measurable, plus that benefit is off the radar when evaluating the contributions of someone whose primary role is coding.

With this cloud environment, they've separated those responsibilities out and given them to a specialized team dedicated to it. IMHO, some of the success is probably due to the organizational structure, not just the technical differences.
These GitHub orgs have explicitly opted in and configured the checks, so harassing the developers in those organizations is exactly what the org owners wanted :)

I didn't say Rails makes a mess of a dev machine. What I'm saying is that every project makes different sort of assumptions about how it's brought up in a dev environment, and these assumptions vary wildly between projects and stacks, and usually the older and more prominent a project is, odds are it will have the most unexpected impact on anyone's machine. This is going to be true for any combination of libraries, frameworks and programming languages.

I'm not mounting an attack on Rails. Rails' fine.

(Edit) I can't answer your reply. It seems there's many ways to read the quote you brought up. I'm clarifying that the meaning I intended wasn't an attack on Rails. Take it as you will. I'm a bit confused why my original comment, which I meant as a positive-to-neutral tone, is being perceived so negatively.
app.keeweb.info with drive sync... good way to go
would one say that fox news censors leftist viewpoints?
I would bet it's just a simple oversight. It happens. Did you file an issue so they're aware of the problem?
That's a useful feature of the BeagleBone. When I originally built my clock with a Raspberry Pi I used a GPS with a PPS line and hooked that into one of the Pi's GPIO lines. I could get the Pi's clock synced to the GPS very accurately (easily sub-ms) with that (using chrony), but the problem became then updating the display (similar to your setup, a 7-segment MAX7219-driven display). I started looking into writing a kernel module to update the display when the PPS-driven interrupt happened. I think, from reading the kernel documentation, there may even be some support for firing off events when the PPS occurs, but I realized it might be "easier" at that point to move to an arduino-ish solution.

I agree that I wouldn't likely notice a ~20ms jitter on the display, but I'm kinda of having fun figuring out how to make it as accurate as possible.
Looks like a forum post to me not a press release?
Timelines are still fairly opaque but v7 works with Monterey today.

Thanks for mentioning this. It was the first password manager I ever used before switching to lastpass and then to bitwarden.
Agree about the value curve. Most developers do stuff that can be learned in a few years and then they just repeat the same thing with slight variation. There are really not that many jobs where you get challenged to grow throughout your career. It’s just repetition (like most other jobs)
Wealth is like a cube of ice too; it will slowly melt whether you like it or not. General inflation, specific CoL line items, or cost of education for your kids etc; they all change without any notion of fairness to your hard work.

The health that needs to be coupled with wealth to be free is also decaying over time. The things you'd enjoy at your 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s are also going to be different.

You can't optimize for only what you'll enjoy in your 60s and you can't really store up freedom.
To expand just a little on the short paragraph talking about embedded and games. For those interested in these spaces, looking into Immediate Mode GUIs would make for good reading. Rendering the current state of the UI tends to be simpler with lower processing standard deviation than Event driven GUIs. The main tradeoff is that the average processing goes up, since you're redrawing every update. But with embedded it's your worst case that matters most if you have deadlines you can't miss. And in games lower frame rate standard deviation is often a very good tradeoff for lower average frame rate in terms of perceived smoothness.
The infectious dose of viruses is usually not (never?) a single particle. Depending on the virus, it may be tens or hundreds of particles required to infect a person. We don't know an exact number for COVID, but we know that it's likely some number that's greater than one.

Whatever that number is, if we limit the number of particles in the air, we decrease the statistical probability that a person will come in contact to a number of particles exceeding that number.

It's a "solution to pollution is dilution" issue.

> it might actually make sense to just give everyone a very small infectious inoculum as a form of vaccination.

The biggest issue with this, as I understand, is straddling the line between causing an immune response and hurting the patient. There are live vaccine viruses, but most (all?) attenuate the virus to prevent the latter.
"in the room" ?
It's obviously more than that, with titled paragraphs and embedded images, this is a prepared statement pasted into a forum.
> Shit, if you think you can interact a couple of years with a pretty woman and are 100% certain you'll never flirt, you're... I was about to say "a better man than I", but on second thought, that's inhuman.

Excuse me? In this situation you're claiming you think it's inhuman not to see a minor as an object of sexual attraction?
Agreed, I am strongly for a VAT on all digital advertising revenue. Let's make ads more expensive so people have a real choice to pay or not. Plus, we can use the money to fund something that helps people.
I guess I just don't really believe this. It sounds nice, and it might even be a good falsehood to tell yourself for personal motivation—but that doesn't make it true.

Yes, of course if you're an actual fraudster intending to commit fraud, you're probably comfortable with committing fraud. But feeling "impostor syndrome" colloquially means second-guessing whether you're good enough to deserve your position.

There are absolutely lots of people who are better at their jobs than they think they are. But I have to imagine there are also lots of people who are just as bad as they think they are, if not worse.

This mirrors my experience. It is nice not really having to care what type of machine I am given by my employer since my environment is going to feel exactly the same regardless.

And who knows maybe since you have your server running headless it is effectively on par with your laptops. These days most of my cpu cycles on my laptop are spent on Slack or Chrome!
Well, I would argue that any even slightly-complex use of the kind of tables I feel must be being meant here (though it isn't 100% clear) quickly makes you realize that pre-formatting all of the table cells makes your app much too slow, and so you at least need to instead lazy-load content for cells as they scroll in if not carefully reuse a free list of GUI object hierarchies for the cells themselves... as much as I truly do love HTML+CSS as a rendering layer, it is honestly a massive liability for this extremely core use case (one so important on mobile screen formats in particular that I would argue that how your framework supports this should be one of your primary concerns when architecting your API).
Works fine with firefox afaik
The real question is why sociopaths aren't more common. Bonobos and naked mole rates are often described as eusocial, but their "communities" are built around matriarchies of sisters, which means there's a strong and simple genetic affiliation. Other proposed examples invariably turn out to have similar orthodox--from a genetic viewpoint--explanations. Humans are an exceedingly peculiar species. But we really understand very little about the origins and fundamental dynamics of our sociality. Our understanding is pre-scientific--lots of analogies, metaphors, and rationalizations, which can get you pretty far, but very little in the way of concrete, biological science that explains how empathy, guilt, etc emerge and are maintained pervasively evolutionarily.

Yeah but if before we had MxN complexity:

- M: number of devs with their own machine
- N: number of projects with their own way of bringing up dev env

Using stuff like Codespace reduces M to 1.

I am pleased to stand aside and observe a fool at play. Do write more!
Paypal is often the method with the lowest barrier to entry for making payments online. One clicks the paypal button and then approves the transaction, done. Versus (often) needing to enter all card details, billing address, delivery address, and so on.

It's often a good choice for making informal payments between friends because you just need the paypal address - versus, for example, sort code, account number, and bank name. You might also need the bank address and to pay a fee for an international transfer.

Depending on the country you're in various other payment services may be available and/or common. For example I see services like Klarna's eating into this a bit, but they're certainly not ubiquitous.

I don't really follow how Paypal have managed to avoid becoming a bank in the US given that they offer what is, to my eye, clearly a suite of banking services!
Well they’ve released a Linux app built in Rust, so maybe there’s hope?
Making sense isn't equivalent to being justifiable. Imagine a FAANG telling their devs, "We're reducing your options, but that's okay because our stock price has gone up."
Anyone have good/bad experience moving from 1Password to Apple' iCloud Keychain?

I've recently been using keychain for new accounts, but not sure I wanna bite the bullet and go all in - just need a nudge.
> Don't mentor young women, especially if they're remotely attractive. It's far from being worth the risk.

Anyone with this attitude shouldn't be mentoring in the first place.

It's really not hard to stay on the right side of the line and not hit on someone when you're in a position of power over them. A vast number of people manage this every day with no effort whatsoever.

If you really, genuinely feel that the only way for you to avoid misconduct allegations is to avoid interacting with women entirely, then you need to seriously re-evaluate your behaviour.
1. Logic has no value
2. My argument is based on logic

That's just one factor and while it may be true, do you really think that is more important that dramatically higher overall developer velocity and superior developer workflow, both of which contribute to more feature refinement, fewer bugs, faster updates, better support, etc, etc? Definitely not IMO. The fact that you are ignoring those other factors in your comments makes me think you are also ignoring them in your assessment of the options.
Because they are smarter and work the system. Same for sales guys, lawyers and so on. They work the system to their advantage. Developers are one of the few groups that believes in a just meritocracy.
If someone chooses to intentionally reduce a conversation to an "effective/ineffective" dichotomy to deliberately mislead or obscure conversations, then it might be disinformation. Disinformation can consist entirely of factual statements.

Actually, a good case for banning ALL discussion of mask effectiveness on Twitter as being disinformation, since the character limit basically forces turning discussion into simplified dichotomy.
I know what 1Password is but haven't used it.

Are there advantages of using it over Apple's built in keychain?

Would appreciate if someone who has used/uses 1Password could comment on this.
I use Bitwarden for shared passwords with my family (using an Organisation).

For my personal passwords, I prefer keeping a local KeePass vault (I access over a local network drive, VPN in elsewhere).

I totally agree that primitives are some of the least important parts of choosing password managers, but what I like about KeePass is that you can use Argon2 as the password derivation function and specify your hardness factors. Because my laptop and desktop have a strong-enough CPU and I don't mind waiting 20-or-so seconds before the first unlock, I can set quite high values for this.
The ratings are in the report linked by OP. Vast majority A-2 or better (S&P).

In my limited experience making videos teaching kids how to code, they prefer the shorter videos.

But there is an age problem on TikTok like YouTube, your likely only to reach age 13-24 even if your educational content is targeted age kids under 13.
Hadn't thought about that angle, but yeah, I guess it really is splitting the load
Being able to manage the frustration could be one such skill. And also being ready to fix things instead of assuming that employer must set up a perfectly working environment for you.

I bet smaller/poorer companies may want programmers who are ready to fix tooling when it (inevitably) breaks
