I’ve had good Linux experiences with Lenovo laptops. A few of them, specially their business line, support Linux and you can even order them with Linux pre-installed.

The support is more than the devices that the laptop has there are Linux drivers for it, what it means is that, for example, you don’t need some windows app to update the bios or fingerprint reader, there are Linux tools from Lenovo to do that.
Thanks, I'll check those out!

Loved Objects in Space (wish they'd open-source it or let modders at it) but it's single player.

Unless… maybe my definition of bridge simulator is wrong? I thought they're inherently multiplayer, and having hardware tie-ins (which I what Objects in Space had) weren't a core feature of the genre.
There's also the people using spin class trainers in Apple+ that wouldn't ordinarily use one...it's not a zero sum game. (I have it playing the the background as I ride my roadbike, it provides enthusiasm even if the effort doesn't line up with the road.)
I believe it will, and what Google has done, by adjusting (down) remote salaries, essentially hands managers at lesser companies an argument-ending example.

There will be exceptions, especially among the most skilled and experienced HN readers. But I am on calls all day with engineers and managers whose salaries may vary by six figures depending largely on their location.

When the results of paying far less are acceptable to companies, companies will pay less and less.

A $100,000 machine is probably a machine with an entire workflow and facility engineered around it.

So it's $100,000 plus:

* The costs to disassemble and remove the old machine

* The costs to install the new machine, which could include specialized contractors.

* The costs to realign any supporting equipment to fit the new machine (i. e. if a conveyor belt feeding parts in or out has to be moved)

* The costs to retool the rest of the manufacturing process that was dependent on quirks of the old machine. This could have a significant and expensive research phase.

* Retraining to operate the new machine

* Any parts scrapped by use in the testing or teething-trouble adjustment of the new machine

* Downtime of the actual production process, potentially extending to failure to meet contracts and associated penalties

So that "$100,000" machine could have end-to-end costs well into seven or eight figures.
> It's important not to judge the world by its effect on your internal state. The world isn't party to your internal state, although you walk around with an illusion of transparency. People are doing things for their own reasons, not for yours.

Sure, I agree. This isn't a contradiction with my post.

> Referring to the Buddha in order to make emotional regulation seem like an unachievable perfection is not really a good support, because the argument you're making is that we shouldn't always try to control our irrational emotions, not that we sometimes fail to control our irrational emotions, even when we try.

One core message of Buddhism is that we fundamentally cannot control ourselves, even when we try. You are correct that I am saying we shouldn't always try, and I stand by that, but the idea is that it isn't actually possible to achieve. Buddha is indeed an unachievable perfection, and supports my point because trying is truly futile in the end.

That is not to say we should always act however we want and treat others terribly for our own amusement, just that we are not actually in control. We can try to steer the elephant, and may have some success with that on occasion, but complete control is not possible. What I am saying, is that it's ok to let the elephant do what it wants sometimes, because ultimately it's going to do that a lot of the time anyway.

> Getting away from billions of years of reaction is the reason why we have civilization.

How would you say that experiment is going? Civilization isn't more powerful than evolution is what I would say, and we have seen a lot of man's worst impulses expressed with greater force than ever during the modern period. We haven't escaped evolution yet.

> It's a little more cowardly to interpret the world in terms of how it makes you feel rather than the complicated, messy problem of navigating the world in terms of how it may be making everyone feel.

Not sure how this relates to what I said. Sounds like you just wanted to turn my words around. I never said anything about substituting personal feelings for the act of being empathetic with others, and the topic is about not taking things personally, so this is a new goalpost. Nonetheless, I don't disagree. Part of having empathy for others is not judging their behavior from a position of assumed superiority.
I'm not altogether convinced that the money and effort spent on self-driving cars has led or will lead to any significant improvements in cost or efficiency either.

Even if it does succeed, it seems to be about convenience anyway.

Docker Desktop is not open source, but the Docker container engine is. Also, runc, which is the actual container runtime, is not only open source, but was created by docker but is also what gets used by podman. podman is very nearly just a fork with the daemon and socket removed, which would not have been possible if docker hadn't been open source.
The current standard already accepts a comment line at the top, so in this case technologically it is easy, far easier than most problems. However, getting a consensus from a committee with bike shedding and all that fun (horrible) stuff is very hard.
So, like many companies, successful support consists of yelping at the appropriate public forum, be it Twitter or in this case, HN. Anything the public doesn't see: "due to unexpected call volume, you'll wait at least ten days before hearing from anyone". All the while the company forgets that the complaining customer isn't the only one reading. The rest of us are reading a live account of what company's customer support looks like.
I had a Mazda with this feature, apparently very common among Japanese cars in the early 90s. At first I thought it was broken, until I started looking into how to fix it and found you just have to pull the handle as you're closing the door to stop it from popping up. It's supposed to make you think about grabbing your keys but after a while it sort of became automatic.

I've got an early 80s SAAB that handled this in a more straightforward way. The driver's door lock plunger will not go down while the door is open, forcing you to lock it with the key (or reach around from another door, and then lock that.)
Both. I think that when corporations do exploitative things, they are being short-sighted, and will eventually suffer in the long run.

And really what I would advocate for is stricter regulations so we don't have to rely on the good will of corporations in general. Their track record is terrible.

For eCommerce ad-driven sales, I would think that ad expenses should be a part of COGS. It's easy to attribute sales to each ad dollar spent, and the impact of reduced ad spending will likely impact revenue, not just growth.
That's valid, although I don't believe I claimed that it applies to most people. Something can be relatively common and have a significant effect without meaning that a majority would be subject to it.

I don't appreciate your suggestion, though. Even though you i-don't-know-if-but it, what you say suggests that my viewpoint comes from a dark place of loneliness and pornography intake, which I don't think is fair unless you substantiate that somehow.
The good news for people without perfect pitch who feel bad about it is that people who learn relative pitch retain it for life while perfect pitch declines precipitously with age. It has other drawbacks.

Buying anything on my organization costs something around $10k. Add your price to this to discover the total we are spending.

That's on financial cost. The opportunity cost of stopping technical people to handle the technical details of an acquisition is just huge, and larger the most differentiation there is on the market.
Of course we are not talking about harmonics, the first overtone of 'red' would be a bit above ultra-violet and invisible.

And as for green, yes that is the best color to do that test with because we have the biggest discriminatory capability for green. And most people would be able to distinguish with a large degree of accuracy an increasingly high frequency shade of green given similar intensity. But once you start varying the intensity and the hue at the same time I think people will get confused quite rapidly as to which shade has the higher frequency hue.

Color is much more 'loose' than sound, that's why we 'tune' our instruments and why painters don't necessarily need to 'tune' their palettes so precisely to be able to make something that looks harmonious.

Agreed! Go has made a big difference for me personally, its simplicity and tooling design makes it easier for me to actually get wrapped up in in programming a solution instead if being paralyzed by the design and starting phase.

Much respect for polyglot programmers and using the right tool for the job, but go personally clicks best for me. I prefer to focus on gaining a deeper understanding of writing effective and maintainable go for a variety of projects. So using go as my main language is actually really important for me. I'm thankful its possible to require that these days.
It’s about €500, IIRC. Unless you are too attached to hardware, software emulation is a more cost-effective option.

And it can JIT the 68K code into native instructions as it goes, so it’ll end much faster than anything implementable on a cheap FPGA. A much faster 68K doesn’t make much sense for a gaming machine, but makes a lot of sense emulating a Unix workstation or a 68K Mac.
WSL2 can get weird when you start trying to install software with low level virtualization and file system features. YMMV. I’d use it to install apps, but I wouldn’t be confident it’d work with Docker. Even if it did initially work, eventually you’ll hit a problem for which there is no googleable answer & good luck with that.
I've been doing development in docker, but unrelated to that I did an upgrade to big sur and borked the machine for a few days.

Pulling the same projects to my (admittedly quite fast) linux box in the cloud is night and day for speed in docker with volume mounts. Browserfy runs 5x faster, at least. Yarn install is 10x faster.

And it's reliable. Docker's filesharing on the mac has about a 25% failure rate that any given save will be properly picked up by watch, with a complete, uncorrupted, updated file.
Many engineers at large companies won't want to bother dealing with the headaches around licensing software and spending money, whether it's $2/mo or $21/mo or $200/mo.

If it's a core part of my job and the best option available, it'd be worth it, but if there's any reasonable alternative, I'll go download that today instead of wading through all of the lawyers and approvals and compliance to use something slightly better.

Yes but you also have a number of other issues to take into account: timezones, language barriers, cultural differences, ability of an engineer to get on a plane/car/train/boat and meet face-to-face in a reasonable amount of time, and so forth.

Remote work within borders is one thing, but remote work from different continents is an entirely different beast.

Not to mention the sheer difference in labour-related laws and conventions across the world and how little recourse you may have if - let's say - your employee decides to take your source code with them and resell. Or take the idea and start a product themselves. Or anything similar that you could very easily sue locally. How much trouble would you go to sue? Translate and certificate every document? Comply with local laws regarding representation? Can you even sue?

You may think these are extreme examples, and yes it all tends to work out in general, but even with local employees people sometimes get burn so you need to take these into account when jumping into something uncertain. It's becoming more common for sure but there are risks and they are not null.

It's possible that a condition of a paid model is that the merchant (YC or whomever for example) could require an interview, resume, GitHub profile/code samples, etc. I'm not suggesting anything NEAR what a job interview process is like (that's insane enough as it is, we don't need any more of that!), but just something to reasonably verify that the person has some relevant qualifications. Then the publisher/merchant/etc. (again, YC for example) could add "tags" or "badges" to a person's profile showing they're a paid user, and badges for the skills they've "reasonably" verified for that user.

This wouldn't be anything near an ironclad guarantee (what is anymore, with anything?), but would provide people a relatively fair amount of confidence that the person WANTED to be part of the discussion bad enough not only to pay to get in, but to pay for the privilege of, and go through the (relatively easy) work to, prove their credibility in certain subjects.

I'm not at all envisioning anything requiring people to divulge their real life identities to the public (only the publisher for verification/billing reasons), force them through hours and days and weeks of endless interviews like job hunting, or limiting what they can and can't say or respond to. It's just an idea intended to show people, along with every comment, that the person is *REASONABLY* qualified in certain areas of expertise.

So, let's say for example I were to comment on an Ask HN thread about how to pitch to VC's. Without this kind of system, how might you know if I have any idea what the hell I'm talking about? (Because personally on that topic, I'm clueless and therefore not at all qualified to give people input.) This allows the reader to see the person doesn't have verified qualifications for getting investment capital. Doesn't mean their comment is invalid or bad, but allows the reader a chance to "take it with a grain of salt".

On the other hand, if I were to comment on writing code in say, Ruby, Go, etc. and I'd been verified as having at least some degree of experience with those, the reader can have a better degree of confidence that what I was saying wasn't total bullshit.

Just a few thoughts on how this kind of thing could be useful for some folks. :-)

Any OS feature should be in control of the user, not Apple who can sell access to these features to developers in the form of "entitlements".
It's in "beta" right now but it works quite well (you can find the binary in the dedicated GitHub issue). Under the hood it just uses QEMU which in turn uses Apple's Hypervisor.framework for virtualization
It’s not at all about the price. Obviously a corporation can afford that. It’s the sheer dread of even starting the procurement process in your average corporation that your average developer must overcome, that is the barrier.

I’d rather investigate an alternative like running it on a VM than deal with that. Actually I’d rather shave my face with some mace in the dark than deal with that.
Looks like you've had problems with IBM consultants, I'll grant you that, but I don't dabble in that side of the business. In my 20+ years of professional experience I have seen it all when it comes to software development and IT service management. From small startup shops barely knowing how to manage Java dependencies, to ecommerce shops doing millions of dollars a day in sales, to large enterprises being among the first adopters of Kubernetes. To lump all of one company into a single disparaging statement is disingenuous.

TLDR; your comment is stupid.
We should form public policy on the basis of evidence – that is to say, models that have high explanatory power and confidently predict reality correctly.

We have policy around nuclear attacks that aren't based on actual nuclear attacks. There are policies around preventing certain people from being assassinated even if nobody's assassinated them yet. If “swatting” is something that we know happens in this sort of case, we should review our procedures around preventing it if circumstances change in a way that we could reasonably expect would increase swatting.
I've been running with ssh-rsa disabled for a while (with a config based on https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/openssh#modern-openss... ) and it's been pretty smooth. Support for better algorithms is widespread, with a few exceptions (like bazaar.launchpad.net).

One gotcha: OpenWrt does not enable ECDSA by default[1] and only recently enabled support for ed25519 by default.[2][3] It's available in release candidates for 21.02, but not in current stable releases. So if you're running a stable release you'll need to either add `PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa` to your client ssh_config or use a custom build of OpenWrt with DROPBEAR_ECC or DROPBEAR_ECC_FULL enabled.

Yes, this is very clear on wind instruments where the timbre can change substantially from one note to the next. The saxophone is notorious for this, it is technically a woodwind and it is absolutely unplayable if you don't tune the individual notes as you play them, you have to use your embouchure to get the notes to match pitch. Especially noticeable when playing with other instruments.
