I get what you are trying to say. I feel like it might be such a strong feeling because of how bad it really is working where you currently work.

I personally do not miss school at all either. I miss some parts of university for sure. And not _just_ the party parts ;)

As for work, I have phases and those seem to corroborate what "people say" about missing work. What I mean is that on a vacation for example, if it's long enough, I sometimes want to "do" stuff again instead of just being on vacation. And I don't mean I want to be back at work work specifically but yes I do get "bored". If you think about it, why do the billionaire sons and daughters throw parties all the time and such? Probably not because they have a fulfilling life otherwise.

Now when I say vacation, I don't have slack on my phone, I do not check work email and everyone knows they can call me if things get dire but nobody has ever done so. I know this is in stark contrast to some other folks on here that worked 4 hours per day on their "vacation".

Personally I want to make a difference in how people work. Both now and also if I had millions of dollars. So both now and in that case I would want to provide a good work environment and get rid of things like BS deadlines, "do this by EOD or else" and such stuff. With millions in the bank I could be much much more frank than I already am. Of course I'd take much longer vacations and work less.

My current workplace is actually pretty good in many aspects as to the fun at work part and it is fulfilling to build stuff that lots of people use. Our stack for the most part is awesome as is the dev experience (best I've had so far but maybe there are better ones I just don't know yet). Of course there are parts I hate and that a few million in the bank would totally turn the tables on vis a vis 'fix this BS or I leave'.

YMMV but yes please do report back :)
I feel in general by "hard work" people imply "putting in the time and effort". And I still contend, people who do put the time and effort into something probably find it easier to do so than those who don't.

Let's say that "putting in time and effort" is the key to success, aka, "hard work" is the key to success. Alright, now what if you're finding it hard to "put in the time and effort"?

I would say if you find it hard to put in the time and effort, you need to either find ways to make it easier, or find something else which you find easier to put in time and effort into.

I'm not sure if my point will land, but see, for me, the real trick to success is to find something that is easy for you to put in time and effort into. And I think a lot of successes are attributable to that, yes successful people did put in time and effort, but it was easier for them to do so, and that's why they are successful at it.
> I see that as a good thing, not a bad thing.

I believe that's exactly the point this article is trying to make. Inducing demand for cycling is ideal.
I would have happily taken that blame, if not for the oil companies decades long and bad faith activities against climate change. Their lobbying, funding dubious studies, tactics of FUD, outright lying, etc.

Those must have consequences.

Why taxpayers are made to give billions to them every year is beyond understanding.
Revenue, but that's before devs get their cut.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-profitable-is-apples-a...

In total... more like $22 billion of profit? Not trivial, but compared to Apple's other profitable businesses...
Several people had to have thought it was a good idea to add the jupyter notebook service with the primary keys to every cosmosdb instance even though a tiny portion of customers would ever even look at it. Yet it’s still fine to add that extra attack surface.

I’ve seen some azure documentation that stresses you should never ever use your primary keys in a deployed service. Yet they do it willy nilly.
Why doesn't the compiler error when compiling if it is undefined behavior? It seems really simple to detect if a type is incomplete.
But they do have obligations that make it otherwise worthless to the them.
> Let's be clear about this: this settlement means that Apple is offering developers less than what they believe they would be forced to provide by law.

Not necessarily. You haven't taken account of costs, or the possibility that the parties both felt this was the best outcome regardless of what (unpredictable) quantum a court may have awarded.

Litigation is a poor use of time for both parties and is best avoided for the good of both parties.

Whether the settlement is "fair", "reasonable", "agreeable", or "forced" is another matter. The point is, you can't assess or deduce it without more information.
Well, to put it in perspective, I'm talking about trying to explode a bomb in a full stadium just to claim communists planted it.

But sure, characterizing your enemy as something other than humane is a common thing in propaganda.

Why not just throw some money at their patreon, or buy some merch? Fairly sure they'll get more of that anyway.
It's not that apple is going to lose the app store, it's that some of apple's more egregious policies (such as banning pointing users to other payment methods to monopolize payments completely unrelated to apple provided services) are being challenged and apple doesn't want to set any precedents or get any judgements against them on this civil suit.
You’re right. I suppose what I mean is:

I can’t expect my environment to change in any meaningful scope of time. I can try to enact positive changes (especially for my son with ADHD) but for all practical purposes, I need to change me first if I want improvements right now.
SnakeOS: Bootable x86 snake game in Rust
People in SF simply aren’t willing to pay that much for the shoe box condos/apartments necessary to reach manhattan density. That’s what the market is signalling. Because of course even the most die hard nimby would likely take a 8 figure buyout offer for their 7 figure home. If the developer could afford that and still profit, i.e. if they could then sell the units at thousands of dollars per square foot.

If demand ever reaches that high then the market will move to a new equilibrium.
That was a reasonable back of the envelope calculation, and I notice that the criticism of my figures was done without providing better figures.

However, I am willing to come up with more suitable figures.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-... says there have been 2,630 deaths from COVID-19 for 18-29 year olds (never mind the suffering COVID-19 causes people in this age range). Something that causes 2,630 deaths is more risky than something causing 229 non-fatal hospital visits.

> I think all the unvaccinated want is the same absolute right to decide the same for themselves.

In terms of freedom of choice, I think we would be a lot better off just giving our extra vaccines to Mexico until that have a higher vaccination rate; Mexico has, last time I looked, a 25% vaccination rate compared to the 50% vaccination rate in the US. Once Latin America is well vaccinated, we can circle back to the vaccine hesitant here in the US.

There was recently a rather morbid conversation on Reddit speculating about how much vaccine hesitancy might help Democrats in future elections: https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/pbeigk/desantiss_... Not to mention this graph: https://i.redd.it/4o4i7arucpj71.png (Discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/pbzaeg/oc_... )
This wasn't nearly as big of a problem as this makes it seem! There were 3 jumpers on IDE HDDs and CD-ROMs: master, slave, and cable select. Sometimes, there were also jumpers on the motherboard. And finally there were BIOS settings. If all of them are matched correctly, it just worked. Cable select wasn't a big problem if you actually RTFM from the HDD, CD-ROM, or even the PC. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but for the normal PC user upgrading their HDD or adding a new CD-ROM drive, it was not hard. When it didn't work, you could easily remove one drive and troubleshoot by removing or fiddling with the jumpers.
I was hoping that this would be a tongue-in-cheek post about how a training a CV model and a robot with enough range of motion would eventually figure out that aiming the light gun off-screen towards a white wall would result in 100% accuracy.
Seems like a nice 2x2 matrix here:
Financial cost (free/paid) X Openness (proprietary/open)

Observations:

- Bottom left of the quadrant is Facebook, "you are the product". (free / proprietary)

- Bottom right is Linux, pay with sweat (free / open)

- Top left is traditional software (paid / proprietary)

- Top right is ideal (paid / open)
The reason you are not apes in tress is because you can turn data into lower dimensions.

Which this shows. A bar graph or line graph would be better.

Trying to use the data in this 2.5D it looks like is skews North North East. But that seems to be an optical illusion due to the darker colors. Not sure, need less dimensions like a number.

These are good for news articles, the more ape like you make people the more they tend to click.

Some higher dimensions work like maps. But you can see how AR will always fail and VR has a long road because their added dimensions are too much in most circumstances.

If I don't have millions I can't give it to you.

If there are 50 others who can fix my brakes, one of them will likely try to undercut your price so as to get my business.

In this case,
M$ could have paid ten times that amount and it would still be pocket money both in terms of their ledger AND vs the damages the PR could cause alone.

M$ does have black market competitors that would have paid far more.

Doing the right thing morally is good. But when people see time and again that simply cashing out once could set you up for life.(Maybe not in this case but maybe in others.) That is an awfully tempting risk to take and I wouldn't blame them.

We're literally saying it doesn't pay to be moral.
The "I" in "ISS" stands for International. It is a collaboration between the USA, Russia, Japan, Europe, and Canada, with the USA and Russia being responsible for most of its initial construction.

It is one of the crowning achievements of humanity so far and helps to prove that we don't all suffer from the same petty xenophobia that your comment demonstrates.
That's about right for those who tested positive, but current CDC estimate is that for each one that tests positive, 3.3 others got it and never got tested. That makes the actual rate something like 0.38%. Which is a lot more than 0, and is even a lot more than a normal flu, but it's not 1.7%.
You might also enjoy invidio.us, in the off chance you end up stranded on a remote island without youtube-dl handy.
The problem is that the choice presented is not, and will never be, "planet non-destroying iphone" versus "planet destroying iphone". The choice is between "iphone" or "nothing".

Understandably people choose "iphone", but that's doesn't negate that the choice exists. Yes it's very expensive to live a modern lifestyle with fewer direct O&G inputs. It's however really cheap to live a subsistence lifestyle in the middle of nowhere without all the environment wrecking conveniences; it's not near as comfortable though.
Some quick googling told me a lot of things

Apple hides how much it makes in the app store by combining it into their iPhone product segment.

"Apple doesn’t disclose how much revenue its App Store makes per year. Instead, since 2013, it has released data points in January that include the total that Apple has paid to developers since the beginning of the App Store in 2008."

The low estimates for the app store are $64 billion last year and 70%+ margins. It is entirely possible Apple makes most of its money from the app store.
You moved the goalposts so far you are saying exactly what I said in my first message. People don't make native programs because they don't know how and don't want to learn, even though it is what people want.
I implemented the codesigning and notarization process for Slippi, which is a Dolphin Emulator fork... based on CMake.

I would not call it esoteric and/or opaque. It's one or two shell scripts and an API key through App Connect for the notarization pass.
That "commoditization of housing" is a growing buzzword that doesn't make sense on face value. Commoditization is to make it fungible and easy to exchange. Housing developments, apartments, and condos go with interchangeable ones. Since the industrial revolution at least housing has been born commoditized as a norm. Economies of scale are king.

If what the talking point is just trying to sinisterize "private ownership of real estate" that still doesn't make sense as an approach. It just gets squatters and promotes violence through greviances unresolvable through the legal system like how prohibition leads to drug gang fights.
Oh yeah, for sure there could be performance implications to lazy sequences, but ideally the compiler or interpreter could figure out some nice optimizations.
From the article, minimum payment is $250.
> Someone gets by effraction

I didn't know this word -- apparently it's an older English (but still current) French word for what we usually call "burglary" or "breaking and entering" in English now. I might say "Someone breaks into an apartment/house..." in this context.
Apple's entire profit in 2020 was $57 billion. $22 billion is highly non-trivial even when compared to all of their other businesses combined.
I wasn't impressed by your point at first, but it occurs to me that the vaccination rate was way higher among older people, at least in the U.S. and probably in many countries. On the other hand, the rate of those who got covid-19 was higher among younger people. So, you may have a point there.
Wasn't Java supposed to solve the platform problem?
What always strikes me is how often social problems are separated from all of this, like social and climate problems are distinct in some way. We spend our times talking about the chemistry of the atmosphere, and mechanical efficiencies and electricity and lurking in the background is the displaced persons crisis, a crumbling safety net, and a society built on people as unchangeable resources to be exploited. How can people change the atmosphere when they are being pulverized into ash?
I think you just described a school board meeting.

I'm 100% not going to buy whatever they're selling. If anything I'm less likely to buy something that's advertised to me. I've specifically stopped using services/products if I notice their ads too much.

So who is benefiting from me watching sponsor segments? Not me, not the content creator, not the brand.

I just skip them manually though tbh, haven't gotten around to automating it.
salesforce docs???? couldn't find anything about that
I also use it to stream videos, not just for downloading. I can watch using a native video player (such as mpv) instead of the web interface. More control over the playback speed and less buffering when I pause or fast forward. Very useful for longer lectures and presentations.

>Does the warrant get granted with some kind of limitations on how the material can be used or who can review it?

Yes.
In that case, nobody would ever build a new apartment complex because they would be not be allowed to own it after they build it.
It’s worst-case for their customers. They’re the ones who need to figure out what data to consider compromised.

Microsoft gets a temporary mark on their reputation until their pr and marketing departments make us forget about it. That’s it. Nobody is even going to lose their bonus over this.
No, because the law has a sucker and doesn't want you to get out of paying.
I love rust and it’s fascinating to see what people can do with it. Exciting game and great find.
I mostly replaced excel with libreoffice sheets where possible.
I actually prefer writer in all circumstances.
For everything else similar (e.g. shared complex excel docs with tons of VB) I use MS office on a mac mini and my main desktop is a fc33 build with an RTX3070 and AMD5900X
> It's like when people get excited about tax refunds from the IRS. Super exciting, until you realize it was excess money taken from you to begin with.

Not the best analogy. You can't necessarily know ahead of time exactly what your tax burden is and you define the withholdings to give to the IRS.

You could specify no withholdings and have a big tax bill each year or be too aggressive and get a refund, or somewhere in between. Most people over estimate their obligation because it's easier to overpay than to come up with a large sum every year, especially when living paycheck to paycheck.
It's a corollary to Apple's mantra "The best way to make software to make your own hardware". Apple believes in total end-to-end control over the experience.

Yes to a certain extent they are motivated by money, but they are far more motivated by maintaining control. Allowing users to install third party software via another route means that Apple is no longer in control. Apple wants to be the singular provider of everything on their platform.

You can see this in action on macOS. Apple makes almost no money from macOS, yet their grip over it is ever tightening.

To be clear, this is just for the state tax exclusion. The 20% capital gains exclusion on federal taxes is applicable in all states.
We use it to log audit data for all platform events and changes to data. It's one thing we found the schemaless nature to be valuable for. The automatic indexing has worked well for reports.
Because we already do that when it's a matter of perjury, filing a false report, defamation, fraud, etc. In all those cases, the government becomes the arbiter of truth.

If celebrities can sue the Daily Mail for lying about them and win, why doesn't climate change or covid infectiousness get the same protection, considering the stakes are so much higher?
It seems more likely that after we've all developed some immunity to it and some variants, we'll have some level of resistance to what most strains bring to bear, and so milder and less lethal, like existing colds (also a coronavirus...) and flus.
If you can assume one side thought a settlement is better than an outcome via trial, can you also assume the other side thought so too?

> Let's be clear about this: this settlement means that the developers got more than they believe Apple would be forced to provide by law. There is never any other business logic behind these settlements.

Im inclined to agree without other commenters that this line of thinking doesn’t help.
The risk associated with the vaccine (and the magnitude) are orders of magnitude lower than that of natural infection-based immunity.

The vaccine can almost certainly send a few people to the hospital in the same manner that an airbag could almost certainly cause injuries during an accident.

It's very different from a natural infectionimo.
Give me an easy way to write (and test) iOS apps on Linux, and I'm all about switching (again).
I'd be very happy to see dedicated bus lanes in my locale, along with bike routes. In my vivid imagination, the buses would be synchronized with the traffic lights, allowing them to move through town quite efficiently, even with stops.

Ours is a mid sized town, and we don't need a lot of dedicated bike lanes. For the most part, the cyclists find routes through neighborhood streets where there is minimal car traffic. Cars use the faster trunk roads. The only dedicated bike infrastructure are longer bike paths built on old rail lines, and in some areas where there is just no convenient low speed bike route such as a narrow artery between two lakes. And the long bike paths are at least partially if not primarily intended for recreation.
I can feel your frustration, but it also strikes me as tone-deaf to those very same customers. The most common kind of email I send these days—by orders of magnitude—is “unsubscribe”. I don’t want your emails unless I actively asked for them. (And, no, passively being opted in or being forced to opt in by a user agreement or whatever doesn’t count.) I would happily pay middle men a lot extra to get fewer unwanted emails, phone calls, or just generally more privacy.

There was an article earlier today on HN about how user-hostile software has become, and I think that explains my problem. Until developers as a whole become not just less hostile, but actively prioritize my needs over their own, I don’t think I’ll change my mind.

My real problem is that I don’t have any leverage as an individual customer against hostile developers. So I’m stuck paying mega corps like Apple or Google to be the middle man for me because they _can_ leverage my interests against developers. So I just don’t feel any sympathy when developers complain that they are having a hard time abusing me.
If you pay for YouTube Premium, the creators of monetized videos you watch get paid an order of magnitude more than with just YouTube ads.

Apple will let developers accept payment outside App Store
For some use cases, you wouldn't even need Grafana. You could use the graphing/visualization and alerting functionality built into the InfluxDB 2.0.

That said, Grafana is a more mature product. I can't fault anyone for using InfluxDB just as a time series database and using Grafana for visualization and alerting.
After living in the US for a few years, the rest in Europe, and having worked there too, it amazes me the disdain for private property and its defense that exists in the latter.

And don't get me wrong: it's mostly hypocrisy IMHO, but real defense, like e.g. making sure laws like this don't pass, it's marginal. It's common, at least in Spain, for leftist politicians and media personalities, which tend to be the ones proposing pro-squatter bills, to have large and/or multiple houses.
True~ the "pennies saved" are earned, but not taxed.

I did not consider that!
Game Theory 101: all along people WFH wanted more money and stipend claiming that the company was saving money, disregarding that they were saving time (commuting) and money (commuting expenses, professional clothing, out-of-home food).

And now, companies are calling their bluff, and the law of Supply & Demand is truly at work in a free(er) market.

Let the bidding begin.
