> The point wasn't to celebrate that someone died.

Nor is that the point of the HCA. Rather, it's to collect the ever-growing number of cautionary tales of people who stubbornly and arrogantly refused a $0 prevention of their very demise.

Frankly, when that stubbornness and arrogance places them in hospital beds at the expense of everyone else - thus putting said everyone else at greater health risks regardless of their relation to COVID - rational people tend to have a harder time caring about whether harsh criticism of that stubbornness and arrogance might hurt someone's feelings.

I don't think 1:1s have to be weekly as a hard rule, but it's a good starting point.

If bi-weekly works for you and your reports, do that. However I would argue that 1:1 is the one area you shouldn't try to minimise - as a manager, spending time coaching and developing your reports is a large part of your job. The time you spend on them should be highly valuable. If you or your reports think 1:1s are a waste of time, something is going wrong and you need to change how you do that.

Take it back!

Seriously though, I remember MC before it was a kids game. It was already becoming one by the time Microsoft bought it, but since then almost every update has been gimmicks for kids. The world generation is still ridiculous (jungles next to arctics), the weather patterns are binary (hard rain, or nothing), and proximity chat is practically impossible.

They've made a lot of money off making it into a kids game, but I personally haven't been delighted by any updates since they took it over.
It might have been possible in the 1950s, but the modern "death of authority" phenomenon has ensured that no central regulation of social media can ever be imposed by the consent of the governed.

The government would literally have to pull wires out of walls to stop Facebook and whatever inevitably follows it.
That's a very interesting observation!
I don't think a contest of who is the worse human-rights abuser brings much, but recall that the US:

* Occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, and its last act there was to drone strike an aid worker and his family.

* Invaded Iraq based on false claims of WMD, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

* Helped overthrow the government of Libya, plunging the country into a decade of chaos.

I'm not going to defend China's actions (though I would push back against some of the absurd exaggerations that are often made), but some perspective is needed here.

>Is it a case of the old APIs must stand (and the baggage therein), or were there some fatal flaws other OS APIs avoided?

I can't really name any POSIX APIs that I think are actually good. In my experience, any real programming for Linux and BSD requires a ton of non-standard non-POSIX APIs anyway. One major problem is: almost all of the core POSIX syscalls are blocking which IMO is really useless for modern programming. Since the past 10 years I haven't used any language runtime that focuses on single-threaded blocking tasks. Everything is about concurrency and async now. Also see this thread for various other problems with it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27183784

I understand that you or others may want to tinker with this stuff but please consider that an OS designer can be missing some valuable information that could be learned from people with decades of experience deploying these APIs on Linux and BSD and the various other UNIXes. That's the stuff that could save a lot of development time. In my opinion POSIX is really a red herring for OS designers, now the big thing people talk about is "Linux compatibility" which includes a significant number of other things besides POSIX.

> Grace Digital bricked my three GD streaming devices

If you are referring to a Reciva based internet radio the web site which powers them was shut down by the owner of that site, not by Grace Digital. Also, if it is similar to my CC Wifi Reciva based radio it is still possible to access existing presets on the radio although you can no longer add presets or modify them any more. When you power it on wait for the Network Error caused by the lack of the back end and then press Back twice and then a preset. The media server functionality also still works.
Well, we probably will not keep to less than 1.5C of warming, e.g. in the IPCC report even the most optimistic (i.e. unrealistic) scenario has a most likely estimate of 1.6C of warming.

IMHO when estimating future, starting with the desired outcome (or even considering it much) is harmful, as it causes you to accept unrealistic assumptions and estimates for the key items driving your predictions, just so the predictions will come out as "acceptable" to you. You need to consider the impact factors as they are, and have realistic expectations of the effect and likelihood of interventions (especially considering the specific motivation factors of the narrow groups who can make each of those interventions, how that aligns with their interests), and see to what prognosis they lead you.

If we "need to come up with ways" then it means that it's plausible that we won't, and we (in this case, not we-as-the-world but we-as-individuals and we-as-smaller-communities) also need to plan on how to protect our interests in that (quite likely) scenario. An aching desire for something to work does not imply that it's possible in the required timeframe. Especially because there's no single "we"; those that need a solution to climate change and those that could fund it are largely separate groups; you can't look at it as a primarily technical problem when the largest impact factors are political.

Only once it was clear he was out the door.
I've not looked recently, but I think it will be hard to find someone who can afford me. I have some experience that I would think would be valuable. Over the last decade, I went from a startup with 30 people with everyone having the same root user up through an IPO followed by an acquisition. I've worked on the core backend systems that grew in revenue from single digit millions to over a couple hundred million dollars, that scaled from millions of daily requests to billions, from 10s of thousands of users to millions, and, all the while, keeping up high availability while rewriting the underlying systems from stateful VMs to stateless containers orchestrated by k8s. I'm a devops champion focusing balancing the needs of the business with engineering velocity and stability. I've seen and led so much in this space around scaling, availability, testability, quality, metrics, alerting, and building up and growing teams as the org changes. However, judging by what I read on HN, I'm going to get stuck on some leet code thing :). That's partly why I am giving management a proper go and am not operating as a principal engineer - I kind of hope any management/director interviews are more related to the experience I bring to the table.
The blog post does mention this possibility. In a similar vein we can also try to mimic a protocol that is well supported by hosters, like source or minecraft but I'm fairly certain that would be the single most ugliest piece of code ever written :)
Obligatory question: why don’t you do that if it’s so easy? My suspicion is you judge a book by its cover, how do you know it’s not just how they treat others ie. with a big smile that makes them succeed, but also the effort they put in behind the scenes when you’re not looking?

Damn. Imgur just became amazing in the last month.

They rolled out a feature where you can filter out political posts, and it's become the only place I can go to just enjoy some mindless scrolling.

There's still a ton of political posters who never tag, but you can mute them. And then there's the "look how dumb those people are" circle jerks, that aren't actually political. But all in all, I have a pretty decent quality to circle jerk ratio.
For me it would depend on how big the company is. If it is sufficiently big i.e FANG, I wouldn't worry about it much. For a smaller company I might.
It's not just a poor design. old.reddit.com currently has what ought to be considered a show-stopping functional bug: every gallery post (that is, every post with multiple images) has its URL replaced with the empty string, causing it to render as a purple link that goes nowhere. If you instead click the little "comments" link, the post loads as normal.

This has been reported to the admins dozens of times since it first started happening about 3 months ago, and so far the only response is "we're looking into it". I'm not sure which possibility is more damning: the idea that they're incapable of fixing such an obvious regression, or that they literally don't care because they're trying to irritate everybody enough to switch to the newer, uglier version of the site.

It will never cease to amaze me how these kinds of things don't make people consider fossil fuels to be an inherently unreliable tech. Only renewables get that rap(*), despite articles like this.

Just a week ago there was some article arguing that renewables unreliability was causing an energy crisis in the UK, and that the mature, reliable option was fossil fuels. And yet here we are.

"That confirms both that the username is trollish and that your purpose is to use HN for ideological battle, which is against the site guidelines."

Neither of those "conclusions" is true. It is merely experience that it usually comes to that kind of accusation. As this thread shows yet again (admittedly, while misguided, the subject made it more likely than usual, but still). And I don't come here for ideological battle. On the contrary, I wish you would actually keep the politics off the site, so that I could enjoy news without political bullshit like in the old days. But you don't. (I can never get over the fact that PG wrote the essay "what you can't say", and now his site has come to this).

"As for the Holocaust, at at minimum you're concern trolling about it, which is obvious flamebait."

I am not "concern trolling" with the Holocaust - I had to look it up, but your accusation seems to make zero sense. It apparently means "a concern troll is someone who is on one side of the discussion, but pretends to be a supporter of the other side with "concerns""

So whose side am I pretending to be on in the case of the Holocaust? Really, your interpretation makes zero sense. As I said, I am not interested in the Holocaust itself (for the sake of this discussion). I am interested why people are supposed to have to BELIEVE in it. And that is because people who don't BELIVE the mainstream ideology in general seem to be considered evil these days, which doesn't make sense at all. Whether you believe in the holocaust or not does not make you a bad person (or not believing in the official Covid statements or whatever). It just means for whatever reason you arrived at different conclusions, maybe because you had other information sources or whatever. But for example not believing in the holocaust does not imply you believe it is OK to murder jews.

The issue is that free speech, censor ship and so necessarily revolve around difficult issues. Nobody has a discussion about the freedom to say "the sky is blue" or whatever.
That's some cool discussion!
Based on the comments, it looks like you’ve picked a good problem to solve. And as you’ve discovered, building a product is only part of the work, getting it noticed is just as important.

I have a few suggestions to consider:

- As the musical community is very relationship driven I would prioritize sharing and virality over advertising for discovery. Make it easy to send files to friends and you have a built in promotion.

- To get it in their hands and raise awareness, go where your customers are. Open mic nights, music stores, gigs, meetup, reddit. Talk to people, ask questions about how they record themselves. Post a few flyers on bulletin boards.

- Try to get featured on some music blogs, podcasts, or youtube channels that have a built in audience.

Hope that sparks some ideas. Best of luck!
I've been getting ~50C temps at 10-20% load using a Flirc case for the RPi 4. (21.2 C ambient in my basement; technically the RPi is in a large cupboard but I don't recall that being noticeably warmer.)

After compiling a rust program on 4 cores last week for nearly an hour, I think I hit ~72C on the CPU very briefly if memory serves, but temps dropped immediately any time rustc let off the gas.

The problem with a tool that depends on structured data is that it only works with structured data.

Of course the problem with a tool built for unstructured data is that it's dumber than it need be, and when you do treat the data as structured, it's ad-hoc and often buggy.

When talking about how "powerful" a tool is, there's always this tension between structured and unstructured.

Nonsensical post headline
No but there's an API and (I assume, I don't use Windows) you can easily add support for it.
The issue isn't people's opinion. Was everyone whose privacy was violated saying "that the holocaust did not happen"? And who exactly is the arbiter of what's acceptable, if not the law? The issue is that the people who released this data were not law enforcers, they were vigilantes. Maybe some people hold vigilanties in high regard, but I don't. If someone says something you don't like or something you think is inaccurate, reply to it, inform people of what's wrong and convince them of why you believe you are right -- don't trample all over their legal rights. The violations of privacy were indiscriminate and based on the reputation of the company not the individuals -- not that targeting privacy violations would have made things any more legal or acceptable. The loss of expectations to legal privacy are a horrible "poisoning of the well" and eventually hurts everyone.

I'm glad to see with the changing of the US guard that we still remain hard on China (tariffs).

We need to stop manufacturing all/any products there... move them to the US or other countries who are not an enemy to the world. Propping up China's economy is going to only further hurt every other country on the globe besides just the U.S. They have caused the world a lot of pain already and will continue to do so as the world continues to juice their economy!

Their people have been wearing masks since early 2000s ... now their pain in that regards has spread across the world! Didn't Covid originate in China?
Celebrating the death of a very well-known world figure (Bin Laden) is perhaps unbecoming and garish, but is understandable, I think.

But this subreddit seems to be celebrating the death of people who are not famous, not well-known, and (at the risk of sounding cruel), not globally important. It's a lot harder to explain this behavior.
The kids site is far more correct than yours, and consistently uses two significant figures in its calculations. See, for example, the US federally accepted value of 19.59 pounds or 8.887 kg CO2/gallon burned:

https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-ca...

Your error appears to be using a single significant figure for the density of gasoline, at 700. Other sources place it from 711 to 749 kg/m3.

Hopefully you will reconsider my comment being "not nice," since you started with one sig fig and ended with four, and then did not consider the two different meanings of ton. And on top of this all, this ignores all the upstream emissions to generate the gasoline, which is greater than the 15% which you said was "not nice."

One observation - They put a lot of money and marketing capital behind products like "Paper" which was their version of google docs. I used Paper because I was curious but in the end it was not as good as many free options out there. And literally no one else I've ever worked with uses it.

So idk as a Dropbox user it seems like they should've focused on what they do best (file sync/storage), expand market share that way, vs. diversify into half baked ancillary products. This was a few years ago when they had a stronger foothold and file storage wasn't completely commoditized. Hindsight is of course always 20/20 however.

You'd think so, but have you ever tried to share a file from one of these services to a popular forum or subreddit?

They don't list their per file bandwidth quotas because they are incredibly low, suitable for cloud storage, not for file sharing, especially not mass sharing.
For some segments that's true. Image hosting wasn't incredibly expensive 10 years ago. It was very much on the lighter side in cost compared to MegaUpload or YouTube type services.

Image file sizes increasing dramatically as smartphones started producing photo sizes that would have been considered massive 15 years ago, saturated much of the gains in cost to hardware.

It's easier to run a one-click image host (like the early Imgur) as a solo operator today versus back then. It's not much cheaper when you account for the larger image files (unless you severely limit the file size, which won't be a popular choice with users, most of which just blast four billion smartphone photos, don't think much about image sizes, and want to upload them as is without thinking about any of that).
