I'm ready to be judge and called an idiot (Not even going to disagree) :/

I use to smoked for little over 10 years. I also quit smoking about 11 years ago.

Recently I started pipe smoking again. Man do I love it :) The *hunt* for the next perfect blend is fascinating and lol I dare say addictive. Cracking open that new "tin" (yes pipe tobacco comes in tins, like big shoe-polish-tins). Nothing like the expectation of waiting in the mail for that new batch of tinned pipe tobaccos you bought after spending days reading their reviews and comparing notes.

Of course we don't inhale ! (like that is really going to save us).

PS. Not suggesting its anyway healthier nor better for you that *yukky* cigarettes, I kinda wish someone can just make it less of a health risk :(

I can say smoking 1-2 pipes (yes the bowls are bigger than your avg cigarette) a day is way wayyy more enjoyable than 20+ cigarettes a day.

Oh well, time to load up some "SeattlePipeClub - Plum Pudding" (it's been called the nirvana of pipe tobacco) in my ole'reliable-but-not-fancy Lorenzo pipe :)
No doubt because the author doesn't want it to be used in proprietary software that doesn't respect the user's freedoms. At least, not without taking a cut.
> And what exactly is wrong with that?

Honestly? Presentation. That's why I consider it a dumb argument in general. People mention "Homer's car" or equivalent memes from works of fiction as some kind of ridiculous contraptions, but don't bat an eye when a show like Star Trek does the same. The big difference, IMO, is that Homer's car is delivered to you up front, a solution looking for problem(s). Star Trek's tricorder or roundabout or a starship only happen to show a different one-off feature every episode - so the realization that the equipment is deeply multipurpose, and has all those features already present, kind of flies past people who're not into this sort of thing.
> Cardiovascular effects of nicotine are probably more dangerous than potential carcinogenic nature of smoking.

Have any evidence to support this novel claim?
I agree, to me it feels just like JetBrains turned Borland just before the Inprise Corporation makeover.
To be fair, Apple did make a modular computer. Except only Industrial Light and Magic can afford it.

This is just the coolest thing in the world, thank you so much for open sourcing it.

Have you asked upstream what they think of it, at all?
> I don't know the health effects of pure nicotine (say, in liquid form) vs caffeine, but one is certainly much more addictive than the other.

Which one did you have in mind, and why do you say certainly?
False, this is a very germane topic for a startup forum.

Most wives WILL NOT go along with a plan to start an unfunded startup and WILL leave you if you quit your job and can't support them at the same level as before. In fact, most women have a "backup plan/husband" at all times.

You can read about hypergamy and monkey-branching to understand female psychology and need for security. It's universal, so it doesn't matter what country you're in, although some religions suppress it in practice.

I don't like the overwrought ("beta") presentation of the blog article, but the salient relationship points are very real. He's a lucky guy to have an understanding and agreable wife.

If you're a man and don't understand what I'm talking about above, then expect to be blindsided by your family after career changes, since this happens every day around the world.
Do they go arbitrarily far back, or cut off at some point? (I have a 2013 Air I've barely used for years... Should've thought of it sooner.) The site just lists model names for the Macs, which is oddly non-granular compared to the iPhones by number: https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/trade-in
I'm not sure a mixer is the best comparison here since its sole purpose is to combine inputs.
As far as I understand, ublock origin is based on blocking specific things, so anything previously unseen (e.g. custom malware) would be left untouched by it.
I would much prefer my government to take on responsibility for providing this sort of service as they do e.g. driver qualification.

Once upon a time the usual thing to get OK'd to rent a van (e.g. for students who are moving house) is you rock up to the rental place with the legal documents showing you're entitled to drive. You're relying on the fact that the person renting you a van doesn't much care and isn't keeping the exact details from those documents.

But although you can do this today, obviously the documents get scanned into a permanent data repository, so, that's not great. But, the UK government added a site so you can prove you're you, and get codes, which for a limited period show someone that yup, this person is legal to drive and so on.

They do this for right to work too. Although, annoyingly only for foreigners. If you're a citizen, you can't prove right to work this way, you need to be like "Look, I'm a citizen, here's proof" to your employer. But if you are foreign you can just go "Check this URL, your government says I'm entitled to work here" and they needn't know whether that's because your husband is a "Cultural Attaché" to the Russian Embassy, or you've got special refugee status, or you're actually an Italian and you just speak and look Russian for some reason, just that you're entitled to work here.
I hope that this is what USB4 will bring, since iiuc, USB4 is basically the IF's name for Thunderbolt-4-capable USB-C. This was enabled by Intel contributing the TB4 spec to the committee, in a shockingly benevolent move that I guess may have been the greatest internal political feat Intel staff pulled off in the last decade.

Edit: Oh and presumably the ports on the Framework are USB4, they just can't say that yet because the certification is still in the works.

That was my homework: go away and think of an immediate reason not to smoke.

Smokers truly are oblivious to how godawful they smell to everyone else. I'd rather sit next to someone actively shitting his pants than someone who's smoked in the last three hours.
I too also throw away perfectly good gear because of a decision apple made!
There's thunderbolt, USB 3, USB 4. External adapters of varying quality and capabilities are often inferior to even budget integrated stuff.

For example getting a 4k 60FPS HDMI dongle was going to cost me >100$, and the cheap ones I had overheated. Meanwhile a budget laptop with HDMI and integrate graphics works fine. Getting a dock with gigabit ethernet, high res HDMI, decent SD reader and a fast hub was >200$ last time I checked - and not that portable either.
My newest laptop gets a fairly consistent 700-800Mbps on WiFi.

Don't get me wrong I still prefer ethernet to avoid packet loss and reduce latency but download throughput isn't a problem I notice on WiFi anymore (since I'm also only on a 1Gbit/s line)
My initial cynical point still stands. The thing is a status symbol, a display of wealth for lower to mid class, just buy a new one.
In my country everyone from the age of 14 has to have an ID.

I see the logic of it. If you make laws that state kids can't have access to services you need a way to verify someone is in fact an adult.

Ask HN: Why do product devs switch into data eng/data ops roles?
I have had a number of professional acquaintances and former coworkers leave product/full-stack/back end roles and move into roles more concerned with data pipelines, data infra, dashboard development, and so on. I have trouble seeing good reasons to.

- Data roles heavily focus on particular enterprise products (Kafka, Redshift, Snowflake) at the expense of engineering fundamentals.

- Data roles are typically support roles, not the value center of an org (which would be the analysts and decision-makers who consume the dashboards).

- I personally find these roles more rote, less engaging, and less creative than SWE roles.

What are some good reasons to move into a data-focused role, other than incidental details like better pay or promotion opportunities?
The ORM is the only weak point, the rest is widely considered stable and of quality.
And guess what? This following of "smart money" is in fact a self-fulfilling prophecy: after let's say Pelosi/her husband bought some stocks some large group of retail traders jump in and pump the price higher.. It likely has a negligible effect on highly liquid names like AAPL or GOOGL but might cause a significant price move for a smaller/less liquid names
> An application is packaged as a bindle. Bindles are collected together in a bindle server that you can search.

It’s a good article and nice work. But I couldn’t help but think of that one scene from Rick & Morty when I read this that goes like:

“Everyone has a plumbus in their home. First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then...repurposed for later batches.

“They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.

“Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it...and spits on it.

“They cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.

“The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the...plubis, and grumbo are shaved away.

“That leaves you with...a regular old plumbus.”

Withdraw shrinks in only when you use tabacco regularly.

It is not the drug that is the problem but how you used / abused it.
Can't imagine the guilt that comes with that situation, though you definitely don't deserve it.

I think the amount of vaccine misinformation propagated by facebook will be the source of numerous reviews and studies in the future. It's overwhelmingly sad to see so many people die because they did not get vaccinated, presumably after being influenced by fb misinformation and cable news pundits.

As a side note, the content warnings of fb posts are almost laughable, as most include this blurb: "According to the World Heath Organization" ... as though the WHO is reputable in the eyes of those brainwashed by anti-vaccine propaganda.
There's an estimator below where it says "Select your device for an estimate", and it walks you through a serial number thing and then gives you an accurate estimate. I think it does cut off at a point but I'm not sure when, and it's not the same for all devices.
You forgot the used market. The used market for framework laptops is nil.
> Roblox spends most of its time convincing young children that they will be successful

I've never seen this. Could you give an example? Me and my kids are pretty heavy players, with a couple games released, with one giving my kid a nice stream of Robux.
I'm sure that's true, but any time an opportunity comes along, any fund has to ask "Is this better than something else we're holding?"
I've had my Boox Nova Air for about 10 days now and it feels like a great piece of gear. Loving it so far.
Scuttlebutt can also work by DHT, so couldn't the central server eventually go away or function or minimally?

You make a very good point here. Solid is obviously a considerably more advanced version of what I tried to do here. The main motivation for my project was to ease transactions like registrations, logins and any other
forms of identification or information sharing. Like in the case of Solid, my idea was to try and standardize data by
organizing it by topics & keys.

The main differences compared to Solid, would be the non-decentralized data storage (smartphone) and the active user involvement in each data sharing transaction, meaning the user has to actively scan a QR code (later other forms can be added like NFC, etc.) for the data sharing to take place (as opposed to Solid, where data can be read indefinitely by an app until access is revoked). An extra thing that Qodebeam provides is (user-supervised) write access, meaning a service can also request to save something in the user data store.

Overall, I'd say it's just a (slightly) different approach to the problem of personal data ownership and sharing.
Maybe something that would work well as an intermediate step towards something more advanced like the Solid offering.
I hope it makes sense.
Everybody made huge stock gains in the last year, it was hard work to fuck up in that market. It's not a hint for inside knowledge if you ask me and not a guarantee for future gains to follow another ones portfolio.
I don't think there is a good answer to your question beside "it is a good offer if it entices you to join their company." I guess you could ask what percent owner it would make you and what your liquidation preference is. Depends on how early you are too.
Then you get no relief when smoking, it's literally a stimulant.
> When safe cycling infrastructure is present

This is debatable. Tokyo lacks widespread European-style cycling facilities and still has quite high bike mode share.

Low stress roads can fill much of the same gap, as long as they are well connected.
That's probably what I was taught, but in practice why? What's my left hand going to do with all its hundreds of milliseconds of free time while my right types a capital letter?
Ideally I would agree with you, but reality demonstrates that markets tend to converge on one standard rather than let two coexist. CISC vs RISC, Firewire vs USB, Floppy vs Zip, IrDA vs Bluetooth, etc. Now it's modular vs integrated.
Instagram started with Django but today it "uses django" only with the air quotes. Listen to the interview with Carl Meyer https://djangochat.com/episodes/django-instagram-carl-meyer
I don’t understand how this works. If the trace API gave you the data in the writes then I can see how it works. You run your copy, then just run the writes over your copy and you have a snapshot that is consistent at some point in time.

However, if you just have a page modification flag then if you try and recopy the data that has been modified then it seems like you could just end up in a loop where you make no progress because the disk is continually being modified. If none of the modified pages have been modified during your second pass then everything is ok but if some have been modified then that could invalidate other pages that have weren’t modified during the first pass but we’re modified during the second pass.
As someone who works at a not-small tech company, I try to practice the whole "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". After all, most tech companies exhibit some behavior that is objectionable. But Facebook... I honestly don't know how their employees are comfortable working there.
Ugh. I just spent the whole day screwing around trying to debug SAML SSO for setting up a VPN on AWS. Brain is fried and I feel no closer to my goal. I realize that's somewhat unrelated to passwords, but my point is "Identify management is _hard_".

Passwords just kinda work. That's the _opposite_ of broken. We just need to train out the bad habits (storing plaintext, allowing dictionary words, etc).
Oh really? Is this still a hangover from the Oracle lawsuit stuff?

I might give it a whirl and start replacing the easy stuff first. In my system the worst part is the Android app and anything that makes it easier to maintain in the long term is welcome.

That's a fair point. Knowing not to try to write generic code (since you don't have the tools) is the sign of an experienced Go programmer.

That being said, I'm curious how much kubernetes (a large, famous, Go codebase) still has code that does this. I used to read that it used a ton of interface{} and type assertion, but maybe that narrative is out of date (or never really true). I was never too familiar with the codebase myself.
In the Colorado mountains, deer eat wildflowers and baby aspens but leave grass, juniper, and pines alone.
Thanks for htmx! I recently noticed a similar issue in my side project, your timing with this article was perfect for me :)
The comment you responded to said "unethical"; there are many things that are unethical that are not illegal (though I am not claiming this should not be, as Facebook is supposedly providing a communications platform here... but it doesn't matter if it should or shouldn't be: ethics is not law).
It is both. A stimulant and a sedative (dumb categories).
Certainly, I couldn't have seen it coming after hanging out on HN all these years.

>> I too received my first angel check from someone who noticed a co-founder search post

Amazing, tell us more.
The point is that Facebook publicly claims it's not a media company. They do that to avoid government oversight.

Once they are revealed to be acting like a media company, it's a house of cards. Regulation presumably would follow.
ethernet and serial dongles are a requirement for emergency maintenance inside of datacenters. But of course not many people on hn spend time in datacenters anymare...
I'd rather not subsidize roblox with government systems. If they can't figure out an age verification system that works thats on them. The government shouldn't be verifying the age of people for businesses. It's a waste of tax dollars to subsidize a business with major profits.
They donated several laptops to different distro maintainers, Arch included, fwiw.

Not to say that it guarantees anything, it's just nice I think that Framework cares about Linux compatibility and is acting on it.
I don’t love the UI but collaboration is a killer feature, just like Google docs/sheets/slides. If you work on a team that collaborates in real time, there’s really no contest, especially if it’s distributed. Before Figma we used Sketch, Zeplin, InVision, and a design-centric repo to do the same thing. Figma is cheaper per seat.
There's also quite a lot of old New Yorkers still resident there, though.

Pluses of living in New York include not needing to drive, most things being close by, and generally more widespread things like elevators. Old people can become less able to drive cars over time, or climb the stairs in a suburban home, or carry an SUV's worth of groceries.
> They arrive early and open the trailer. The goats jump out, ready to eat, as Ms. Malmberg watches that they don’t stray. The team sets up an electric fence to confine the goats and their meals to a specific area overnight.

Doing the same thing with deers would be much harder. Keeping deer confined in a specific area in order to concentrate the grazing requires much better fences, and when they inadvertently escape it takes much more work to bring them back.

My biggest questions with this setup is how they keep the cost down from setting up an electric fence in order to create a good fire wall. Electric fences are generally very labor intensive, and we seems to be talking about steep slopes in some cases.
And beyond that, we all know the story of how and why Facebook was actually created. There was never any intent to create something that would have a positive influence on the world. I kind of doubt he's struggling much with his conscience.
Yes absolutely. I wrote an article a couple months ago which was trending here where I got a 5000x performance improvement over an existing system. One of the changes I made was moving to rust, and some people seemed to think the takeaway was “rewriting the code in rust made it 5000x faster”. It wasn’t that. Automerge already had a rust version of their code which ran a benchmark in 5 minutes. Yjs does the same benchmark in less than 1 second in javascript.

Yjs is so fast because it makes better choices with its data structures. A recent PR in automerge-rs brought the same 5 minute test down to 2 seconds by changing the data structure it uses.

Rust/C/C++ give you more tools to write high performance code. But if you put everything on the heap with copies everywhere, your code won’t be necessarily any faster than it would in JS / python / ruby. And on the flip side, you can achieve very respectable performance in dynamic languages with a bit of care along the hot path.
I'm 65, and started smoking when I was 14.

I will not quit smoking. Ever. I enjoy my cigarettes (10 a day), and I'm careful not to smoke around anyone that will take offense.

I honestly don't give a shit if your prejudices and bigotry make it hard for you to accept my decision to keep smoking. If your world view is that narrow I won't lose even a minute of sleep over it.
No, pretty much everything could be done with swap (like moving an fstream as you say). Sure, it's a bit more cumbersome, but it was still RAII.
Oh it's sooo bad Joe Rogan didn't explain Marxism the way Freddie wants to.
This happened to me with twitter. made an account, followed some people, they locked the account and told me it exhibited bot like behaviour and I needed to scan some photo id to send to them for them to unlock it.

Never worried about twitter ever again. Probably the healthier choice in the long run.
You are right. But I don't think it's unethical either. Just like I don't think it's unethical that the NYT doesn't run anti NYT articles written by FB.

edit: When it comes to censoring content by political opinion, then I'm more towards the unethical side, but I think it's a step to far to expect any company to allow it's platform to be used to spread attack pieces against itself.
To the dead comment that wrote "If you're a man and don't understand what I'm talking about above, then expect to be blindsided by your family after career changes": as if this thread didn't start by implying a "real man" would blindside the mother of his child with startup plans without considering her input. You condescendingly refer to female psychology and a need for security, without stopping to look at your own selfish motives that started all this?
Having a supportive spouse is basically a superpower.
This guy must be James Bond. I’ve had my 2013 MacBook Pro since it came out and I never needed service on it. My 2016 MacBook Pro, no service. 2020 MacBook Pro, no service.

I like that this company is making completely replaceable parts though. The idea of being able to upgrade ram again sounds like a real benefit… it’s embarrassing that sentence even has to be muttered.
I believe their system for non-US companies was to require that the actual (non-US) company is 100% owned by a Delaware corp, so the company operations and assets are legally "local" but all the relationships between founders, ycombinator and other shareholders are handled under Delaware law and contracts.
