Use `dpkg-deb` to create a `deb` file from your executable and upload for distribution. Generate different executables for different target architectures from your compiler toolchain, package them separately as different deb files, and share. It's a one-liner to do this.

> If it really is more economical to constantly repair old cars, you'd expect the average car age to be in the decades.

I don't know about the US, but in general there are strong financial and marketing incentives to upgrade to a new car, in the form of government subsidies (to keep the market alive, despite sometimes masquerading as green new deal) and marketing (advertisement, social status considerations).

Manufacturers make it almost impossible to order parts for older vehicles, and make sure they keep releasing new models whose parts are slightly incompatible with one another (like smartphone manufacturers do).

Cars sold in the last 10 or so years make it impossible to change parts without a manufacturer-approved (or a foreign-language pirate) debugger firmware.

Also, modern cars are equipped with tons of electronics who each have their own ways of failing over time. Dozens/hundreds of different chips and processors serving questionable purpose makes your product overall less durable. The era of "my cousin will fix my car given the right part i can order from the store" is long gone.

Maybe the original parts from a brand new car are overall more reliable than in the past (i'm sure they're more energy-efficient, but i'm not convinced they're more durable) but the car as a whole is much less durable and the car industry is a very good example of subtle planned obsolescence.

Planned obsolescence does not only mean designing a specific part to break over time, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence#Variants

> How is it not? Shadowbans by definition are deceptive

The question is not whether it's deceptive, but whether "it has a disastrous effect on the forum or community". It is deceptive. Does it have a disastrous effect on the community? It doesn't appear so to me, so I think that needs supporting evidence.

> May I ask -was it your intent to come off as being condescending and borderline insulting? If not, you ought to be aware that is how that sentence came off.

How a sentence is interpreted has a lot to do with the context the person reading it is in. I didn't intend to be dismissive, but I think the point still stands, because I was actually trying to make a point. Why not just use one of the sites that doesn't do shadowbanning or censorship instead? This isn't some sly insinuation you should leave. It's an actual question about what is different here from there in the rules and moderation, and how and why that might contribute to how the community acts at each place respectively.

> It's also a hand-wave -meaning a distraction from my primary point which is about shadowbanning and the fact it injects a note of deceit into the moderator/user relationship.

No, it's a real question that you decided wasn't relevant so then went out of your way to avoid.

> but that does not change the fact ...and it is a fact... that I believe (and have no reason not to believe) that shadowbans have a negative effect on the larger community that they're practiced on.

It hasn't been shown to be a fact. You haven't even really shown how it could be negative to the community, much less provided evidence. "It erodes faith" is both unsubstantiated, and it's also not shown even if it was how that actually results in a problem (I'm not sure there don't exist forums with hated moderators that still function fairly well).

Shadowbanning is censorship and it is deceitful, but it's also aimed squarely at those the moderators think are not part of the community, or at least not productive parts. The whole point of it is to keep those people from realizing their account is banned right away and starting a new account to continue the behavior.

I would argue that for the most part, this has a positive effect. There are plenty of dead posts which you can see too if you want which provide little or no useful contribution to the discussion or the community.

> shadowbans undermine posters' faith in moderators and serve to undermine the credibility of moderation as a whole.

I haven't observed that. I think most people here trust the moderators to use that sparingly, and there's also a system which appears to let the community see and reverse shadowbans in the case it's incorrectly applied or the banned person in question provides more meaningful content later.

A company that forces on-call on its devs is a huge red-flag.

Good companies incentivize for it and don't need to force it upon anyone.
A more recent set of actions is here: https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/orders

The FCC does do enforcement, its just that much of is is reactive based on complaints from other spectrum users. They aren't rolling around making sure that, for example, a license holder licensed for 10W isn't operating at 15W by using a higher gain antenna than originally specified. Those are the sort of violations that are reasonably common, but also are unlikely to impact other users significantly, so generally wont be complained about.
> > It's a result of the government MANDATING, on their behalf, that the employer collectively bargain with them, i.e. prohibiting the employer from negotiating with any party other than the union.

You can have unions without the government mandating anything. This is a total straw man.

Here's an example: I know I'm worth considerably more to my employer than they're paying me, but were I to ask for appropriate compensation they'd rather let me go than pay up - because it would set a bad precedent. Any other employer I could turn to would do the same.

So I can't demand that compensation because unlike corporations I need to eat. And you're going to tell me this kind of situation isn't an asymmetrical power dynamic? The corporation can chalk it up as a strategic loss and survive, I can't. The "war chests" here are so disproportionally unbalanced it isn't even funny.

It would be a different picture if most people they could replace me with (if they even find anyone) would negotiate 'properly'. But people don't - it doesn't make sense for any individual.

Hence, unions.

Also you bringing up the situation of unions in the US is nice and all, but this article is about Germany. You might want to research the situation there and reevaluate.
I'm going to call it exactly as I see it: This is fake.

1) LEO. Low Earth Orbit. Starlink is in a lower than usual orbit, and look at the immense effort/expense to make base station antennae that can reliably communicate with the satellites. They're not going to magically stuff that into an iPhone.

EDIT: Some replies have said "Hey, Iridium is LEO". The same antenna issue applies.

2) Bandwidth. Unless Apple has been secretly launching their own fleet of satellites, where are they getting the bandwidth? I doubt it's Starlink. Any incumbent satellite operators (such as Thuraya, mentioned in another comment) are in Geostationary orbit, not LEO. This requires an even better antenna. See #1.

I don't claim to be an expert in any of this, adding this capability an iPhone would be as disruptive as the iPhone itself was. Apple was able to keep the iPhone under wraps, but it's impossible to do that with satellite launches and FCC filings as we've learned with SpaceX. So for these reasons I call Fake. Maybe next decade.
In the brief testing Austin Evans did in his YouTube video comparing the two, the new model was actually a touch quieter and a few degrees warmer. Of course that may not hold in all scenarios but it's something to note.
I don't have an answer to your question but I'm curious about something else: What kind of results would you get if you used one of the paid TTS models to generate a dataset and then trained your model on that dataset? Would it be possible to recreate their model in this way?

I wouldn't call a top engineer at a top company a "regular employee". Anyone with $1M+/yr in stock from their company is also a fringe outlier. Top talent at medium-sized companies are not making that, and regular rank-and-file at FAANG is not making that. I think the "NEVER" in the article is really a "statistically never". Yes, you can be pedantic (welcome to HN) and point out a few outliers, but it's still "never," in the sense of I'll Never hit the lottery.

For the scrolling till 2am thing I have been using this strategy:

1. Before opening the laptop I decide how much time I want to spend, and what I will do immediately after.

2. Set a timer that I'll have to get up to turn off.

3. Do the thing I had decided to do. It can be a little thing, like washing 1 dish, taking out the trash...

I tried many strategies before finding one that works, and will still try to develop more so I'm not completely sunk if/when this one stops working.

I'm unsure if this will help, but the new image format JPEG XL (.jxl) is coming soon to replace JPEG. It will have a lossless and a lossy abilities. It claims to be faster than JPEG.

Another neat feature is that it's designed to be progressive, so you could host a single 10mb original file, and the client can download just the first 1mb (up to the quality they are comfortable with).

Take a look: https://jpegxl.info/
From another perspective: having dependents reduces some avenues of risk that one might otherwise pursue.

It does say "phone calls and text" and not "internet", so Starlink probably isn't the best comparison. Iridium phones aren't that bulky these days. I'm also skeptical, but mostly about what the motivation would be to do it and who would pay for it.

I can't get a source for this right now, but I remember having a very intriguing conversation about heat issues and the xbox 360 years ago.

I was talking to an old colleague of mine that was an electronics engineer, and apparently, the issue with the xbox 360 was that the heat inside the case made the solder a bit more softer than expected. This would not be an issue for a horizontally positioned xbox 360, but when placed on it's side (which a lot of people did), this caused extremely slow shifting of certain components on the motherboard towards the direction of gravity. After (for most people) a few years, certain components would shift enough to not have proper contact with the board.

I was offered the analogy of the long-standing pitch viscocity experiment - everything is technically a liquid, just to wildly different degrees.

Not sure if this is true though, it was many years ago!
That also makes them less useful than they could be because they don't cover many advanced financial topics, like managing taxes, investments besides "VTSAX and chill". Everything is geared towards newbies.

There's much better advice on /r/fatfire in terms of more advanced investing and tax stuff, but you have to sift through a lot of not-so-humblebragging posts. There is so much to learn outside of the "make a 100k-200k income and put everything into three securities" even if you don't use it. Real estate investing, entrepreneurship, angel investing, trusts, different corp-types, estate planning, etc.
I’m curious, but my reading of your comment essentially boils down to ‘the actual data in my code is vanishingly rare’. Am I reading that right? Is the comment actually saying that in any given program most of the data is in some structure, but compared to the rest of the code is it almost insignificant? I’m not judging or contradicting, but if my reading is right, that’s the fist time I’ve heard anyone make that point in such a straightforward manner.
A few years back, I wanted to refactor something in the quite large codebase I was working on at the time.

I stumbled on a class that was very short and simple. If you know enterprise code, that should immediately make alarm bells ring.

And yes, indeed, all this code did was provide a (world-visible) API endpoint which returned the result of "SELECT id FROM <table with millions of rows>" as a JSON array of numbers.

IIRC it was used for something theoretically reasonable like "figure out if this search index contains all rows from that table".

But I'm sure there were less hacky ways to achieve the same result. Maybe even put permissions or firewalls on it.
Listing the points mentioned here to ponder:

Mistake number 1. The Get Big Fast syndrome.
Mistake number 2. the Overhype syndrome.
Mistake number 3. Believing in Internet Time.
Mistake number 4. Running out of upgrade revenues when your software is done.
Mistake number 5. The “We’ll Ship It When It’s Ready” syndrome.
Mistake number 6. Too-frequent upgrades (a.k.a. the Corel Syndrome).

Much of this list seems reflective (even for 2008) and I'm trying to see which points are relevant today. And it's mostly referring to a specific category of software: mainstream for mass consumption.

The sum of points doesn't support that it takes 10 years to make good software, but rather these pitfalls may slow you down. Did the Macintosh have good software? How about Windows 3.0? Of course, these were derivative. VisiCalc? Maybe too early to be representative. NeXTSTEP, iPhone, Google Chrome, YouTube (even before Google bought it)?

If we're talking about VC-funded software, then that certainly has a list of problems akin to this one. It would be great if VC's were like well-informed penny-stock investors investing in many companies giving the most chances rather only taking big swings. Is there an investment pool like this, that knows what they're doing, or at least earnest tries to do this?

The architecture of Ente (https://ente.io/architecture) prevents your unencrypted master key from being exposed to the server. The password authentication appears to be client-side, which means that the data could not be compromised solely by a malicious server-side change.

Now, Ente could still change its web application to somehow leak the master key and not disclose the changes in the source repo. One solution for this vulnerability is to package the entire web client as a browser extension, which is what Mega is doing:

https://github.com/meganz/web-extension
No, the client has to first verify their email address and 2FA (if configured) to receive the encrypted keys. In addition to this the decryption is time-consuming.
I have much less of an issue with big tech companies than most people seem to. That said, it drives me nuts when people talk about a company's values. Apple, Google, Amazon, Walmart etc have no values. Talking about them havibg values is like talking about their hair colour. Apple isnt a person, its a corporation. It makes money not life choices. It only cares about money it cannot feel empathy or guilt or generosity or anger.

I agree with your main point that you want a job where your compensation is not directly correlated to hours worked. I'd still argue that that's a very different argument than "you can't work for someone else and get rich" or that getting paid in stock options, as an employee with a boss, is really "working for yourself".

I mean, enterprise software sales folks can get rich being paid on commission, "influencers" can get rich being paid by affiliate links, and none of them have any ownership in the business.
Apple is a company. A company is made up of a lot of people. Some of who (really do) value privacy more, and some less. In addition to that there is the corporate positioning and messaging where they may take a certain position because it's currently favorable.

Saying they 100% value privacy or 100% don't value it is too simplistic. Even ascribing a consisent set of beliefs is too simplistic.
