Running Linux on the Windows edition of this laptop, with the killer wifi ath11k QCA6390. Bios 3.0.4.

Wifi: I’m now on Linux 5.14.3 and have been chasing latest kernels all year for stable QCA6390 support - this is now all good for this edition of the laptop.

Sleep: Running hot in sleep, would always be flat in the morning etc.

As others have pointed out, there are infrequent issues where rewakening doesn’t completely - blank screen, necessitating hard power off.

However sleep/resume are much better - to the point of acceptable - after switching to AHCI disk setup in the bios.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211879#c24

Switching bios disk from RAID to AHCI allows the machine to reach C10. The creates the issue Windows 10 (Pro) no longer sees the boot drive, so you have to set it back to RAID mode if needed.
I have to disagree. You are asking for a path integral when the local derivatives of various paths are clear, and In a problem space where things can always get worse. Each moment in each place lets climb the curve towards better reality.
93% are men, 7% women.

It turns out that "multitude", in this case, is 5. (Still glad they got patched, of course)
I am pretty certain the COVID relief funding has been primarily placed on the chopping block by republicans recently with efforts to increase it coming out of the democratic side - there are of course exceptions to this with some of the more moderate democrats siding with a scaling back of benefits (nothing is monolithic or purely black and white).
How can children be poor? Aren't their parents poor? Or are children supposed to provide for them selves in US?
Moral of story: avoid startups.
I think you missed the larger context and idea here. Have you ever made a mistake, say a speeding ticket? What if you could not do that thing again for the rest of your life? Is a criminal once a criminal forever? Why do we let people out of prison?

> The main problem with this is it would basically hand the market over to Apple.

Phone makers can just decide to build better SoC (or to purchase better ones) that are easier to keep working when you update the Kernel.

Or they are free to run Android on top of an easier Kernel to work with.

What we're seeing is Apple innovating and writing good software for almost 30 years since the NeXT purchase. Investing in good tech is just like compound interests, it pays over time.
The indictment itself specifies that nothing Michael Sussmann said was false, merely that he misrepresented on who's behalf he was sending it. No amount of spin will turn this into "Russia didn't interfere with the US election to elect Trump, potentially with the assistance of his own staff"
Rights protect everyone - including bad actors. Any definition of a bad law that includes rights as such is euphemistically referred to as a "different understanding".

Does nobody remember Blackstone's Principles these dats in their zeal to collect scalps? A good law is one which does not punish innocents - that should be where the lines are always drawn.
I'm confused which claim is factually incorrect, that there was a connection between the Trump Campaign and Russia's Alfa Bank. Or that the Attorney who provided that information to the FBI was was not working "for any client," and was simply passing on information that had been provided to him by "multiple cyber experts" who had come across the suspicious web traffic.
It's a clickbait title, like the "fuel from water" people and the "hydrogen economy" people. Yes, with enough energy you can crack hydrocarbons out of combustion products. This is only useful if you have plenty of energy but it's not in a portable form suitable for rockets. As a means of removing CO2 from Earth's atmosphere, it's hugely inefficient. If you have that much electricity around, use the electricity, don't make hydrocarbons so you can burn them again.
absolutely agree - wasn't trying to give the indication that I think my situation is a likely outcome
I think the main advantage of working at a startup is when you're relatively young and inexperienced - you're being compensated in the experience and accelerated job titles that you can then leverage to ramp up your career by joining other companies or starting your own. Getting an exit is a cherry on top.

I was told restaurants that used to serve sharkfin soup served "seafood soup" after sharkfin was made illegal.

The gist of what I was saying was that crab -> fake, and ironically "seafood soup" was actually genuine sharkfin
It's also not clear that he was working on behalf of anyone, although I can see how some might be inclined to assume as much.
I mean, I know it's too late to help you, but running "powercfg.exe /lastwake" after a windows computer wakes from standby will tell you exactly what woke it up, if it knows.

I've never had it return with "unknown" once in over a decade, but some people I know have.

if you can find all the things waking the computer, and fix those things, it will never wake without user intervention.

usually, for me, it's been device drivers which have permission to wake the computer from sleep by default, for some stupid reason. removing that permission on those devices has eliminated "hot bag syndrome" for me entirely.

I agree that these steps should not need to be taken. device driver authors are the source of almost all bad crap like this in windows.
I apologize, I did not mean to disparage your solution for a purchase you already made. I was cynically imagining the thinking of the manufacturer! Also, yes, we have a fridge with french doors, so I understand the problem. Ours just has a really effective alarm. Have you tried sticking two small wedges under the front feet so that the doors get a little more momentum when swung closed? That was actually in our manual. (Yes I read my fridge's manual).
Eh, do what I can.
Sure, but it definitely avoids a bunch of the problems mentioned in this thread. It's annoying that you have to dig so hard to even make Hibernate visible next to Sleep, Shutdown, and Reboot on the various power menus.

I recently switched from an XPS 15 to an M1 MacBook Pro, and it's glorious that I just don't have to think about it anymore. The XPS 15 had all the problems I'm reading above, and then some.

The leaks reveal the confidence of a proposal and path to accomplish the genetic manipulation that Daszak and his associates have been aggressively refuting. This information contradicts those previous statements. It appears Daszak may have conflicts of interest that need more investigation.

Certain famous persons are expected to lie, so it wouldn’t injure their reputation in the way that (the above) defamation is defined. A politician, for example, might pursue such a case only for publicity.
> Stossel is getting press time by suing but he’s a public figure and suing Facebook because a fact checking service elicited an opinion/notation that didn’t have the nuance he wanted is laughable.

Really? From his filing it sounds like Stossel has explicit evidence that the fact checkers admitted that he didn't make any false claims and still refused to correct their speech.

We'll see if that counts as "deliberate malice" or no, but it does seem to be a case with much stronger claims than Owens'
So are my eyes and ears lying to me? I didn't hear with my own ears that Trump asked Russia to hack for him on TV? I didn't hear that happen!? And Trump never went to Russia, was never compromised, never invited Russian spies to the white house, etc? I don't get it, this piece is ridiculous and doesn't match reality _at all_. Why is this trash on HN?
I believe it was an intentional reference
> I'd go a step further and restrict them to index funds.

Or alternatively, restrict them to govt debt only. Make sure they have direct skin-in-the-game for the debt they're responsible for managing.
Having an easily-replaceable IP address is also of some value in case someone tries to DOS you in IRC/game chat/etc.
they dont need to be a publisher to be sued for defamation
FTFA: To be a bit more explicit: at no point in any court case regarding Section 230 is there a need to determine whether or not a particular website is a "platform" or a "publisher." What matters is solely the content in question. If that content is created by someone else, the website hosting it cannot be sued over it.
Thank you for your advise. I value it highly.

Me not being an American and not being physically present in the USA complicates things.

My understanding is that, because the US visa situation is the way it is (due to historical reasons), unless I'm an extraordinary candidate (I'm not) I'm not going to get a callback from any of their US offices. So these days I don't even bother applying to their US offices.

Anyway, as long as it's FAANG, it doesn't matter too much to me where it's located at.

Some of those FAANG and similar companies have offices in India, but AFAIK their focus in India isn't as much on engineering as compared to their US offices (I could be wrong here). And besides, it's pretty hard to get into their Indian offices anyway.

The few callbacks and interviews that I did get from FAANG and similar companies were actually from their UK/European offices (and I messed them up).

Still, I'm not going to give up yet and would keep trying.
> The problem of surveillance isn't a problem at all if you could trust every actor to do things right, it's just that you can't.

I disagree. The problem of surveillance still stands even if you trust each and every single actor directly or indirectly involved in it. The critical aspect is that surveillance is made possible through significant investments in infrastructure, and infrastructure outlives actors and governments and regimes. Once you have the infrastructure in place, all it takes is a bad actor to weaponized it and use it to oppress and control you.

Serverless computing is dominated by node, go, and python. .NET just doesn't startup fast enough.
> Often E2E tests have such sunk costs involved that they materially affect the project roadmap.

I've seen this first hand. When the e2e tests take hours to run, are flaky on a good day, and are only really understood by one or two people on the whole team, they can be a major roadblock to new features or even just moderate refactors.
> That's because the main players all invested in energy-efficient architectures.

If the cost was gigantic enough to make the investment worth it they must have found some really great improvements for it to end up being just noise. Improvements that somehow didn't have a noteworthy impact on general computing.
Oh god, I've seen way to many ridiculous crowfunding pages that I just assumed this was real...
Nothing - it isn't chaos, it is the long standing status quo of free speech. Even a complete idiot flat earther can "fact check" NASA and no parade of horribles has come to pass from this.
Microsoft has a serious issue with thinking it's ok to wake up from sleep mode. I added a script to the task scheduler to resleep if woken up by anything other than the power button[1]. In retrospect, the wake ups were either to perform updates or some kind of bug related to transitioning to hibernation which ends up with the pc idling on[2]. Both of which would result in the classic hot bag / dead battery situation.

I didn't take any precautions, got covid (I guess, never had serious symptoms), probably have natural immunity now. For me, covid is over for a long time. I'm back to living life normally.

Never vaccinating because I don't think its healthy.

> If you maintain speed and strict curation of such a suite

This seems to be the hard part. Any tips for maintaining speed and strict curation, especially at scale (in terms of developers)?

At the very least, it seems that E2E tests are a tool that's easy to misuse. Not sure of the best way to mistake-proof it.
The incidence of recidivism is extreme. The chances of a freed felon committing another felony are such that handing them a gun or a job in retail is very risky. Yet the alternative, keeping them in prison forever, is clearly not fair. So what should be done?
Rust has two flavours of macro. Declarative or "by example" macros, and Procedural ("proc" for short) macros.

Declarative macros might be useful here, at least to cut down on the mindless repetition somewhat. These are fairly hygienic (a technical term meaning that if variable names in the macro are the same as variable names in the code using the macro, this doesn't make them the same variable) and so pretty safe to use but limited.

Procedural macros can do almost anything, they're Rust code that runs inside the compiler when your program is compiled, so e.g. they can have arbitrarily complicated behaviour including completely breaking compilation. You could definitely fix this with proc macros, but, that's not necessarily a good idea.

I don't know. From what I have seen, so-called "nuance" is often explicitly invoked as an excuse to be deliberately misleading.
he s a journalist, like the fact-checkers, no? how does 'public figure' work? So, it's like a barber libeling another barber?

Meta, but why is this on Ask HN?
So they ditched e2e in favour of something that average monorepo checks statically ie throught typescript? Then mocked functional tests and called it a day?

The problem probably started when they put themselves in this microservice plague setup where they can't spawn simulated environment in ci anymore. As it turns out running system aka deployment on environment is a monolithic expression of microservice spaghetti.

As a side note flaky tests is such an idiotic concept. There are tests that pass and ones that don't. How good is button which works 35% of time? It's not a good button, period. Taking aside fact that it inflates test runtime more than decade of mcdonalds diet - if you find yourself in setup with flaky tests, you should ask why they are flaky and amend setup so test is expressed as non-maybe-flaky, normal test. Forbit flakiness, there is no such thing as passed flaky test - those are just shitty tests.

We attach a dollar figure to make it easier to measure, but a different way to look at it is when your basic needs are not met (food, shelter) you live in poverty; you are impoverished.
I have a Rule of 8 for the testing pyramid that has been roughly stable across three programming languages.

Each level you crawl up the testing pyramid increases run time for good tests by a factor of 6-10. If your functional tests are taking more than 10 times as long as your unit tests there is something wrong that is worth investigating. Usually I set a default “slow” time equal to multiples of 8 over a good unit test and round off to a whole number to invite fewer questions.

But it also means that if your unit tests are running in 10ms apiece, your integration tests should run in about 640ms and your E2E tests in under 5 seconds. Getting most people to make 3 second end to end tests is at least as hard as getting them to push them down the stack.

You need more tests as you go down, but that generally takes about a 5:1 ratio, meaning you still get a 30% improvement in run time for every test you can push down, and sometimes we are using end to end tests to do unit test work, which is going to be 4 to 500 times faster depending in how many cases were really missing in the unit tests.

Open ended crying about electricity doesn’t make sense in the absence of specifics.

A big company like Microsoft probably wasted more money on pentium 4s 15 years ago. Electricity is just another resource - if the numbers work, burn away.
In my experience, getting a FAANG job accelerates your career as well or better than titling up quickly in a startup. Having a FANG position on your resume is more of a known quantity for future potential employers than being promoted quickly in an unknown startup.
If you read the meeting minutes for the local government meeting you will find their thoughts. If the meeting minutes seem duplicitous, you can always make a FOIA request. You can also look at which candidates receive funding from various local government unions and fraternal orders.

I don’t read meeting minutes for most cities, but I do follow my own. Essentially with crime increasing the city council members in my extremely blue city were scared to cut police funding (fearing being blamed for a crime increase). It’s nothing nefarious. It just means activists need to do better challenging status quo opinions.
Aren't fact-checkers another semantic for censors?
I leeched off my old neighbors’ WiFi for a few years until everyone in the complex upgraded to routers which weren’t vulnerable to the pin key attack (or whatever it was called).
Whether it's morally worth it is a separate point. I was just stating that it wouldn't be especially difficult for the government of China to find, disable, and arrest the operators of large-scale long-range wifi networks.
Did the Trump/Russia thing actually matter? The whole thing just seemed like a clickbait scam for liberals who - let's be honest - were always going to vote against Trump.

It sounds like swing voters didn't really care about Trump's scandals - they perhaps were just frustrated with his conduct and handling of the pandemic and ensuing social unrest.
That actually does make sense in a newsfeed way. I had this mental image of a person physically reading the group (being in the group specifically) and just not seeing any posts by x because x didn't pay to play
AHA - makes far more sense now. That pesky old 'adjusted for inflation'.
I've run into this in code that completes synchronously in the common case, but falls back to an async implementation - think caching. The simple way to write this creates a state machine even on the synchronous path.

It's possible to work around this efficiently by pulling the async code into a separate method and using ValueTask for the outer method return type.
I think this (COVID relief) is the closest America is going to get to a legitimate domestic experiment on UBI we're going to get for a while so it's rather heartening to see the drop in family poverty.

You're trying to say that because the Chinese Government has only detained an estimated million+ Uyghurs, it's completely fine because it wasn't literally all of them? You must realize that these flimsy efforts to defend the Chinese Government only makes it more obvious that the government is increasingly detached from the reality the rest of the world lives in, to the point where it says 2+2=5 and without irony believes it.
