Apparently, you're not allowed to go beyond 5km radius of your house. Can someone in Australia confirm the details of the lockdown?

Virus is here to stay for many years, if not decades. We're never going to eliminate it. It is time we push back on draconian measures in the name of covid.

Unrelated but I can't even go to bathroom in SF city because every restaurant, convenience store, gas station, etc. have an excuse to say that because of COVID restrictions, restrooms are closed. I was fine with Gov-mandated measures last year when we didn't have vaccines. But, I am turning against my own self from last year.

This is an incredibly misleading way to talk about this.

First, there are ~200 countries, not 106. Second, Puerto Rico IS the USA. Third, "84th most polluted" out of a list of 106, is just a weird way to talk. It's like saying the valedictorian of a class of 100 is the 100th most underachieving student.
I use 1Blocker which blocks those (checked just now), I don’t see why other apps could not do the same.
Good point. Does it change if I say that you "pay" with FOSS with your time?
Fair enough, the waveform is the relative strength of the harmonics. But it's a convenient short-cut to 'the whole of the relative strength of each harmonic as compared to the fundamental, as well as which harmonics are present'.

A sawtooth wave shape has a very distinct sound, as has a pure sinewave, square wave and so on.
Not all equities are the same in Apple’s eyes. - not George Orwell

I hope people aren’t surprised. Apple has a very consumer friendly image but that is because the incentives are aligned. Behind the scenes, the knives come out: Apple labor fixing scandal, Apple caving to the FBI on end to end encryption, Apple playing favorites in the App Store, etc… These aren’t one-offs, they are the culture.
Realistically, discussions about unions and organization are always going to need to happen at least partially using "employer hosted" spaces.

Whether that means communication that happen in meeting rooms, in break rooms, in cafeterias, or over e-mail, Slack rooms, or other employer-hosted message boards.

It's important to have union communication spaces outside the workplace too -- whether at union headquarters, Slack rooms, etc. -- but nobody's even going to find out about those without discussion and recruiting happening on-site.

If employees are allowed to approach each other about organizing in a cafeteria or break room or by the water cooler (which is critically important), then Slack is no different -- the "social" Slack channels are just the digital equivalent.
I think there has to be a line somewhere between protecting employees right to talk about work (that has pretty strong protections, even public comments online can be protected between employees have been protected) and ... having the employer host a slack channel.

What happens if that channel gets really nasty and some employees are bullying others (for any reason) or just anything bad comes of it?

The employer is by default privy to the whole channel too.

I just think recorded info like this hosted by the employer is inherently a bad idea and everyone would be better served if the employees ran some channel of their own hosted elsewhere.
On the one hand: yes, I am.

On the other-- we have a network that bills itself as educational and spends over a month marketing a full week of programming dedicated to propagandizing its audience to be maximally afraid of sharks.

It broadcast a wildly popular movie where a tornado full of sharks attacks a city.

German TV could be an order of magnitude worse than my parody and it still wouldn't even register on the American scale of stupidity.
I think you should look some of this stuff up. Your expectations aren't really in line with the law.

As someone else has posted, once you let a little non-job related material in ("cute doggo pics!!!") you're almost always allowing labor discussions in as well. A strong pro-labor NLRB would (and possibly will) be all over this action.

I wrote a disassembler for 68k in 68k assembler. It was part of a home brew monitor, so you could show the code you were executing.
FWIW I agree with you on most of this except for scientific computing libraries like matplotlib and pandas. A lot of these are used for exploration so the weird dynamic typing going on is specifically for the ergonomics of exploration. Everything else I agree with. I also think that Python is a particularly deplorable example of this though because of its longevity and its use by people who aren't career programmers.
> It's a cycle/ disease.

It is only recently that we’ve (in the West) had a generation or two of the majority of us being raised without suffering direct experience of war.

Just as children who are abused often go on to be abusers in adulthood, I suspect societies that suffer war often become abusive post-war.
I don't understand why they don't offer 128 GB version.
> Any government could make $thing illegal tomorrow.

Okay, but if a government wasn’t legally allowed to surveil you, they could change the law tomorrow so that they could legally surveil you. I’m not sure what this mode of argument really shows.
Me too, and I just submitted a support request seeking clarification. I'll update with any reply I get.
Agreed. The least they could do, if a numpad really is necessary, is put something of equal size on the left side. A macro pad would be novel, or even just a left numpad so that right-hand mouse users could enter numbers at the same time.
I don't know what you mean by taxes, my question is about 250k base, excluding bonuses, stock, and excluding the supposed monetary value of benefits/training/travel/home office whatnot
Shameful may have been a harsh word , disappointing is more appropriate.

The disappointing part is that a product that was once free and distributed in abundance is now requiring licensing starting immediately for small businesses. There is a transition gap but the policy is effective starting today. There were no added features of value, it was just a random change of price from nothing to something.

I think the new enterprise features that they are boasting about which is probably where they would end up making most of their money could have been suffice as this new policy is going to be difficult for them to enforce.

I'm sure docker desktop originally being free contributed to them being this popular. It made using containers for development super easy on windows and Mac.

Now that they have the huge user base, they're in a good position to dictate terms in their favour whether we like it or not.
zerotier adhoc networks are controllerless, though ipv6 only.

The client can be set to not allow routes/addresses from a controller.

The client and controller are licensed BSL.
Guns in the hands of idiots. That always works out well.
Any, depending on content! If you don't think "doggo discussion" is a liability, you don't understand how passionate people get about dogs.
I have a 2013 Pangolin and the keypad & touchpad are the worst parts. They're decent machines otherwise, but the off-center keyboard and touchpad with no tactile feedback make it very hard to navigate around the interface. Looks like they might've fixed the touchpad at least in this reboot.
Without understanding, we can’t take productive action. Of course, one can instead exit the situation, which may be the right move and doesn’t require much understanding. But that is often not an option.
But those discussions aren't recorded typically...

Slack is, the whole setup is a mess.
Yes indeed! I'm not surprised there's some difference. One thing I learned doing this is that there's a lot of choices to make when selecting the best icon.

For example, some sites have SVG icons, which are usually superior in both file size and in scalability (compared to raster formats), but if using them in a mobile app in React Native, it would require an additional step to integrate SVG images.
I know of the protections, they're not as absolute / sure to include a slack channel.
TCO ain't paycheck offer

Simply don't understand the rush to open; historically pandemics have disrupted societies for decades. This is a chance to do something new and move away from a financial system that is destroying Earth.
That there is any life left at all is because it has kept on reproducing. The only other viable strategy to persist is to be a rock.

Re-growth (from what starting point?) is insufficient. You either expand in number or you run the risk of ceasing to exist when your numbers are threatened.

I'd choose going for growth ad infinitum and the associated risks. Trying anything else will get me killed.
That's a wild one, never even thought about that. Hearing changes tremendously with age, sensitivity and range drop perceptively between 'newborn' and as old as 16, and it keeps on descending after that. This is mostly a function of the various components of the cochlear channel getting stiffer and less conductive to sound from outside, I'm not sure to what extent bypassing that would allow you to recover range but sensitivity seems to be a pretty clear win already.
I say it every time every time one of these threads pop up and I’ll say it again here: if it’s not 16:10 or 3:2 I’m simply not interested.

I buy devices like this for productivity. I don't care about black bars when watching videos because I don't watch videos on it. What I absolutely care about is the extra inch of text in my terminal or text editor.

I didn't think this was a controversial opinion.
What do you mean what's the point? Don't be intentionally obtuse.

The point is that those people died due to labor practices of the time, not some tragic fluke accident.
Can also be due to hormonal issues, which in turn may be exacerbated by gut micro biome issues.
Offshoring failed for the same reason s we will not have the worries you espouse.
There's no shortage of lawyers and law school grads from 2nd and 3rd tier schools aren't actually all that well paid on average. The big NY white shoe firm salaries? They mostly come from a relatively small number of schools, students who did well, often had good internships or clerkships, maybe were on law review, maybe have connections, etc.
The joke is on you. Correlation does not imply causation.

On a more serious note, I wonder how people reacted to his decision to forgo cremation at the time, especially since he is a priest himself; and if there were any discussions, even privately among his relatives, on how he can get away with it because of his status (if this was really the case).

It's for moment like these, not the ones immortalized by historians, that I wish there is/was (does it even matter what tense to use) a time machine.
I haven't seen any mentions here if being in a startup fundamentally changes the argument. I think startups would want to leverage the individual talent and personal time sacrifice to bootstrap themselves and build their dream team. I have found the opposite, that they want to be even more controlling in work environment. I am probably biased as it did take a few months to adjust to remote work and find a decent balance of zoom meetings/reporting but now have a good groove between my peers and boss. Given HR's surveys to determine who wants to return to the office, I would rather stay remote. Out of my past 2 startup jobs in the past decade, it's 50/50 whether remote worked well.

My recent anecdote: Startup out of stealth a month ago informed me during 2nd round that they were only considering programmers willing to relocate and live in Austin. No remote option whatsoever. Asking what would happen if there are additional lockdown measures reinstituted, for Delta or even just whatever other 'virus-of-the-year' comes along, they didn't have any answer other than to repeat Austin-based only.

Bonus: Their founders and early execs are today only located in SF bay area and have no plans to relocate and the in-office only policy would only be for the devs.
This is true and has been. It's not illegal to hold certain opinions, but you aren't legally protected from subcultures or even large swaths of society deciding not to do business with you. Collectively through some ad hoc process, social groups decide what will and won't be tolerated in discourse within their sphere. In society at large, that tends to mean that for controversial topics, some groups will absolutely back you while others will shun you. If the state is supposed to fix it, the state will have to pick a side. The result tends to be authoritarian toward one side or another. The compromise we seem to have reached is that people taking specific actions to cause you physical harm or to induce some sort of trauma or concern for your own safety are illegal regardless of why. There may have been local fluctuations over time, but this trend has lead to now being one of the safest times in history to have and express a variety of views in many societies.
They've merely fixed the security holes in iOS that allowed these stores to exist.

Unless you're suggesting Apple ignore them which would be insane.
I have no idea who thought this was a good idea. The trackpad is even off to the left to accommodate it.

I'm not a fan of symmetry for symmetry's sake, but I do think some affordances for the human body might be a good idea. How do southpaws enjoy this keyboard setup?

The ergonomics of laptops are bad enough without stuff like this.
Same, I paid for 3 years upfront. I love FastMail UI and nothing comes close to it. :-(
Agreed, which sucks because no other service out there is better at their prices. And I have everything important tied to that address. I have never been to Australia and don't ever plan to, but the fact that any government can legally plant data on my account and then try to prosecute me for it is scary as hell. Given that Australia and the US are part of the "Five Eyes", it's not a stretch to believe they can construct a case out of planted evidence and push it to the FBI as a joint investigation.
Football helmets also used to be really heavy and hard.

In my time, we were unaware of the negative effects, so we used our helmets as a weapon.
This was normal. It worked.

For example, if you are a running back with sufficient mass, come in low with high speed and manage to place your helmet on the helmet of the defender (who is often moving laterally) you could literally knock them out.

During kick off, you could have two players running into each other full speed from 50 yards out. Of course the person who is willing to go fully into contact will win. The person going for a Rugby style tackle might land on his behind.

The force of such impacts was immense. I have had my metal face shield broken out of the helmet.
I have seen broken jaws from the impact, people getting knocked out, having concussions.

I am horrified about the things they let us do in the 90‘s. Even in practice, these contact drills that were designed to take away your fear of contact, teach you to use your body as a weapon.

I just hope it is different today, but if I have kids, they will not play Football
Yes, we really should allow people who consent to risk becoming brain damaged to do it in exchange for money. We already allow people to do it for free, like allowing people to ride dirt bikes.

>You're only thinking about the NFL.

The article was literally about professional rugby players. Yes I realize most of those guys are not making millions.

>High school and youth players are neither paid nor are they old enough to consent.

Which is why I said those who consent, who are you arguing against? My statement was "Person A consents." If you believe a minor cannot consent then by definition we haven't spoken about high school and youth.

As an aside, do you believe all sex amongst 17 year olds is rape as well, since you are not attributing them the ability to consent?
Meanwhile in Germany an employer has to provide rooms and resources for a works council (Betriebsrat) to meet and organize, and has to pay all necessary trainings, including all related travel expenses.
Didn't have this before? VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) in the 90's.

I seem to recall using it on my SGI O2 with Irix and Netscape.
But ... in the office, was the "supervision" really from someone physically looking at you with direct line of sight? I feel like on a remote team, everyone still knows who else is getting stuff done, in part because our work products are digital artifacts which often need attention from our coworkers, whether that's "review this PR", "review this design", "read this email and implement the policy change described in it" etc.

There are some high level stats that suggest that in aggregate, productivity increased with WFH, though I'm not sure how much of that stemmed from people working in the hours that they previously would have commuted.
A big advantage of using free open source software is that the licensing prices will never increase because the company needs a new revenue stream to support its business model.

Docker Desktop was free, now it's $21/month, what will it cost next year when Docker needs more money?
Thanks! Great HN discussion about it:

The person I replied to said 'What is dubbed as an "architecture astronaut" is, in my opinion, a researcher', but that's not true - they're not researchers, for the reasons explained.
A relative used to take me to his office sometimes (after hours) so I could learn / play on the computers. One day, he gave me a task - he was installing Windows 95 and my job was to insert each floppy when the installer demanded it. That was fun the first few times ... :)
The specs page is a bit vague in places.

Graphics AMD Radeon™ Graphics

Storage 1 x M.2 SSD(SATA or PCIe NVMe). Up to 2TB total.

In the configurator you have to pay attention to the read speeds to figure out if you are getting a SATA or PCIe drive. There is no indication for which brand of drive they are using. I have a few SSD controllers that are on my do not buy list, like anything made by Sandforce[1] after we lost almost an entire lot of computers to premature firmware failures and got absolutely no support from the vendor for even just resetting the firmware and starting over.

Just like Cuba and Eastern Europe when the USSR was still around. Wonder why.
It’s not about shooting them but rather deterring them from totalitarian government. That our ruling bodies understand there are lines and boundaries.
>there is a bit of fatigue and companies are a bit more wary than they were 5-10 years ago

This reminded me of a really disheartening (and probably 100% accurate) thread on Reddit recently. A developer was asking how to go about validating an idea for a SaaS that was catered towards small businesses. Most, if not all of the comments were along the lines of "no thanks, we've already dealt with a startup trying to 'solve' our problem."
If these are going to be cheap it would be a game changer for the hobbyists/ hacker market, get the M.2 version and an SBC or a board for this and the Pi compute module run your main logic on the ARM CPU and use this the Mythic chip as an accelerator for object recognition or localization.

Now it will all boil down to software and how easy would it be to use these darn things, if they are going to be cheap enough it doesn’t even matter if they’ll become obsolete quickly since you’ll be able to just swap them.
California DoL is going to be very interested in these proceedings. Of course Apple has never been one to shy away from illegal wage fixing.
Obviously the "Linux-first" is a big value-add for this brand, but the hardware for the price isn't amazing.

$1200 gets you a Zen 2 (previous generation) 6-core, 12-thread CPU[0], 8GB RAM, 240 GB NVME, 15" 1080p (did not see brightness/color accuracy mentioned.)

But I like my laptops to come with fast refresh and a dedicated GPU, and I run Windows, so I'm not their target audience. Would love to hear how this is received by those in the right market segment!

The reason the term gained popularity overnight is that it fills a hole in the (informal) English language.

Five responses to your question have all said it shows a lack of respect for the judicial system and the situation one is in, and you are essentially spitting in the face of the judge. I truly don't know how to make it any clearer to you than that.

But I must ask again; would you show up to any kind of disciplinary hearing for yourself with "Buttfucker 3000" showing on your name badge?
The 5km thing is real while the lockdown is in effect. Keep in mind it’s different to America, you get paid decent money from the state to stay at home.

Whether or not the ~20 000 lives saved from these lockdowns comes down to opinion in the end.
Coalition forces trained and equipped the Afghan army but it turns out they were being propped up more than we knew.

The US left, the kit the that the Taliban have now is all the stuff that was left to the Afghan forces – when the Afghan forces folded like a shit poker hand all their equipment fell straight into the Taliban's hands.

I couldn't understand it either until I googled it. In addition, any kit that the Yanks themselves had that they no longer wanted to take the trouble of bringing back they quote demilitarised unquote, piles of useless junk that lined defence contractors pockets.

Makes you wonder though.

More importantly, that's what you got from this article? – not the widespread torture and horrific prisoner conditions?
>I have no idea who thought this was a good idea.

You and many others probably know this, but figure it's helpful context for others who might stumble through this thread: it's not necessarily all on System76 as to why that shell is used, since the shells themselves are (IIRC) rebranded Clevo shells still.

i.e I would suspect they're making use of what they can reasonably acquire to sell.

(The offset aspect would drive me mad as well)
True. Absolutely. But I guarantee you that this headline means that even junior "devops" engineers will have workable alternatives by tomorrow, and can tell you how to implement them with little friction.
