This is what I do. It seems to work ok.

Google Meet perf really is terrible though. Makes me wonder if the entire idea of in-browser video is misbegotten.

Slowly but surely, I've noticed my general exasperation with browser apps growing in the last few years. Between getting into mobile development, better sandboxing, easy app store-based distribution, much better isolation between apps, and learning C++ (from working in robotics) it feels it's time to get back to writing high-performance native code that doesn't involve the ridiculous tradeoffs the modern browser requires (latency, memory use, etc). I think this might be a trend we see more of in the next decade.
A lot of people are reacting to the first parts of the article (understandably so, since it’s such a long one). I’d recommend reading all the way through. It covers as well as criticizes Suzman’s work, and comes all the way up to Mills, Keynes, the USSR, and modern automation. I don’t agree with a lot of it, but I agree with the central idea that free time is interesting and worth studying.

Personally, I hope we can shift the overtime bar from 40 hours to 32 hours in the near future, because if I understand my history, setting it to 40 is what hastened the work week we’ve considered normal for a century.
Enough people have access to all 6 physically. I'm sure Bezos can walk in unannounced to any facility.
Yes, but with finance based on transitory MBA executive suites job-hopping around the corporate world, the right play is to price in the risk during your term and a bit after, so the 10-year risk is ignored, but if you can strip everything out of redundancy, product development, etc., the numbers will look better for a while, you get your bonus package, and move to the next opportunity/victim.

When things have been built to last, there is a lot of "fat" that can be cut - for a while.

The numbers will always look better - until they don't.

When the music stops, the "lean" "financial engineers" will be long gone, and those still there will have not the slightest clue how to re-start a culture of serious product/service development or robust operations, and the corp falls into a death spiral.

If you are a trader, you DGAF.

If you are an investor, watch for numbers improving without product and operations improving, and new markets being opened.
>A world where you no longer have to update dozens of applications one at a time or worse never at all is a very good thing.

Maybe from a storage perspective but storage is practically free these days. It doesn't even make sense from a time perspective since application updating can be done in the background with no kerfuffle.

There's just no advantage to having shared libraries outside of ensuring that you'll eventually break every application on your machine due to some obscure versioning/corruption/capabilities issue that is nigh-impossible for a layman to solve. I'm with the parent poster - Linux can keep its Package Managers to itself (not to say Windows doesn't have equally stupid features - looking at you, Windows Registry).
The title is wrong, there's no such thing as the Nobel Prize for Economics, it's the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2021. Nitpick? Perhaps, but wrong nevertheless.
In a real life system what is the usual use case for this?

Let's say a user reorders documents with drag and drop. What's the low-level equivalent? Could you help me come up with an algorithm that depends on this?

If write speed is important, I'd just use an in-memory LevelDB-like thing (so a log structured merge tree).

If the data is not much, then I'd optimize for code simplicity.
I mean I realize it probably isn't a problematic, just wondering, but on the other hand it shouldn't be so difficult to follow the reasoning based on the context I would think:

poster says - in order to be able to scrape effectively you should appear to be a real human, use different UAs etc.

So as this change happens different UAs become one less thing that you can easily change to seem less suspicious, as a non-frozen UA would then be a suspicious sign after some time.

So a sort of side effect.
Awful, sorry to hear. I just cannot imagine the pain of losing my only child. It is probably one of my biggest fears.
I just downloaded Edge based on some replies in here (though Safari is my daily driver, Firefox is my dev browser, Brave is my usual video conferencing browser but is pretty terrible at it) and boy does it take a long time to turn off all the crapware that comes with it. And even when you do, it comes back ten minutes later. I'm super impressed that Microsoft have managed to faithfully recreate the Windows experience for Mac users who might be tempted to switch!
I use Debian and have three non-Debian repos in my sources.list. No problems thus far.

Been using Linux for over a decade and haven't run into any problems from apt/repo's. So I am using what I believe to be a qualified opinion when I say edge case here.
Note that it was always "Don't be evil", rather than "Don't do evil." A lot of evil is done by people believing themselves good the whole time.
When large claims like this are made, I often compare them against my personal experience. When they disagree, I do bias towards my experience and use the skepticism to dig deeper in to the result in search for the nuance.

However, for this discussion, my personal experience is surprisingly in line. I have worked with many colleagues whose primary decision to not have children is a result of worry over climate change. I have seen this response break up multiple marriages, motivate people to quit careers, and sprial in to depression.
Blast from the past: Around 2004 I made a package manager for windows with that same name. I had a prototype, but I quickly got in over my head, since I wasn’t the greatest programmer at the time, and was in college for something other than programming :)

It was written in awful C++ and used GTK.

I even had the winpackman .com/.org domains !

I was so naive back then.
The General Index: Lookup database of more than 100M journal articles
Then it should be easy enough for them to install it to Windows 10 on the next Feature Update. If they can stick a News toolbar on my taskbar with an update than surely something as important and useful as this can be added as well.
I use Brave on both the Mac and on Android. The issues I see below relate mainly to their crypto sponsorships, and I don't care for that either, but it's pretty voluntary, isn't it?

The only issue I've seen that some sites can detect that they're an ad blocker and complain or refuse to work.

Apple App store or the package manager?

Apple does not have a package manager from my understanding and I uses macOS daily. I don't like the approach with the App Store since there are some FOSS that are charging a fee to use their apps in the App Store. I understand it was due to Apple's Developer fee. App Store is not a package manager, it is an application online store in the same vein with Google Play Store & Microsoft Store.

If you are talking about the package manager, then which manager you are referring to? Brew, MacPorts, Nix? I uses Brew daily and only once have to add one repo (using MBA for less than a year) due to external plugin that the app use which it's easy to add in the command line.
I disagree. To me TikTok is the story because it illustrates exactly what you point out: gov, legal, regulatory structures lagging behind. If social media is a big risk to Americans, then it seems unacceptable that TT goes unexamined. It has been around for three or four years already. How they respond (or not) to TT can be a sign of whether politicians are serious or just grandstanding over the usual suspects.
You'll need to include the expected payout of any defined benefit retirement plan as well to improve the quality of your comparison.

And working after hours / weekends is highly dependent on intrinsic motivation of the individual teacher. Many lower quality teachers successfully avoid much or all of that unpaid work, especially in situations where they have strong job protections (tenure)
What are modern blueprints, PDF?

Sounds like a fairly simple project.
Yeah the process is being used to generate sneakers well before this guy even started scraping the net. We had our first prototype in production last winter and just finished our second two. http://aire-gan.com

> that’s not what the invocation of “natural immunity” by COVID-19 contrarians and antivaxxers is about.

Well, actually, it is. People are often arguing they don't need a vaccine because they already had COVID, not advocating for people to get COVID instead of the vaccine.

When you have to falsely charecterize your opponents in order to crow about how stupid they are you're not likely to change any minds.

But go ahead, make it "Science Believers" vs "stupid Rednecks". That's been the trend for a while; and when vaccines are no longer the hobby horse to ride there will be another.
I went looking for specialty equipment for moving logs a few years ago while researching a restoration project. That equipment is super expensive, so I went looking for a DIY solution, expecting to find something along the lines of the construction philosophy of the OST project. I know my way around a wrench and bolting something together is no problem for me. Especially if I can take it apart again to store it, since I'll need this thing about .75 times a year.

I didn't find it. What I found was a handful of farmer types who had welded up their own solutions, who stopped mid-how-to to espouse the liberating power of learning to weld mild steel on your own. Paying someone to weld for you is super expensive, and alarmingly so if you live far out of town.

We know from CivE disaster/case studies that bolts through square tubing - especially through the ends of square tubing - have failure modes that are not obvious even to construction workers, let alone you or I. Might be that the OST project should be considering welding as a base skill for assembling a tractor by hand. Especially if anyone is going to make it earn its living by dragging around heavy, high-friction things like dirt.
Uh, the government of Taiwan considers itself a successor of the Republic of China and claims the mainland, just as the PROC/CCP claim Taiwan.
It's a fork, with all the anti privacy stuff that's in chromium ripped out.
Slow Down on Your Own Terms
Notice how Brave had the weakest reasoning. A little talking point about crypto pushes it away, even though it's the only browser actually taking privacy seriously, not just as a marketing technique. Safari comes in second, but Apple actively cripples it due to the threat of PWA breaking the walled garden.

You have to opt-in to Brave marketing like you mentioned. It allows people to earn BAT if they want to, so they can tip site owners. Better than ads right? The only other complaint is the home screen where you can buy crypto and they get an affiliate payout, which is how they make money. That can be disabled and have you seen the default home screen of Edge? Its news is just ads and paid campaigns.

Brave also supports more protocols like IPFS, Web torrent, and Tor, its telling other browsers don't.

The power of propaganda is strong. The GP uses Edge that he knows is spyware and doesn't even consider Brave because one little talking point that simply gets summed up as "crypto".
> that op didn't take a different approach

What whould have been a better approach?
Patents expire after 20 years or so. Why not just take a 25 year old tractor, 3d model it, make your small improvements and updates, and then start working on value adds like parts pipelines, data & gps driven agriculture, etc

I've been working on a scraping project in Scrapy over the last month, using Selenium as well. My Python skills are mediocre (mostly a Java/Kotlin dev).

Not only has it been a blast to try out, but also surprisingly easy to setup.

I now have around 11 domains being scraped 4 times a day through a well defined pipeline + ETL then pipes it to Firebase Firestore for consumption.

Next step is to write the page on top of it.
I personally believe that interfering with people socializing and building a community is a negative. I concede that there can be issues with some events. But these are people who are a little loud, and is ruining many people's enjoyment for one person's enjoyment.
Apple appeals the Epic Games ruling
There's not even a stable API for drivers. The interfaces they use get changed and rewritten all the time.
Yeah this is why monopolies are bad. Your only real options are chromium based stuff, or safari. if you are going the chromium route, id go with ungoogled chromium: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium . Its really the only version of chromium I think is good, and its got the google tracking stuff removed for the most part.

> I think it's telling that the main thing you can complain about is a pretty temporary disequilibrium that's only been true for a month or two...

I visited the US over the spring/summer and many stores had bare shelves and low stock. Starbucks in multiple states were frequently out of items and had signs about shortages. Car dealerships had sparse lots. And so on and so forth.

This isn't something that's a month or two young. It's been this way for months and from what I'm hearing from friends and family, and reading in the media, the situation is only getting worse[1][2].

> ...and isn't really seriously threatening most people's quality of life.

Tell that to a person on a middle class salary who needs to buy a new (new or used) car to get to work, or whose kid relies on school lunch for nutrition[3].

WordPress? Really? I can think of a thousand reasons not to use WordPress, such as horrible, outdated security practices, constant DDoSing of your site because of the aforementioned, having the overhead of jQuery, not wanting to use PHP because it's not your preferred language, not wanting to use old, outdated spaghetti WordPress code even if it were, etc...
Yes. One of our gripes with many of the solutions was vendor lock-in in some way, be it in data, compute, or simply the APIs.

I wrote a comment above https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28830306

One of our guiding principles, even though it is a SaaS has been to do as much on the client's side: using your own Kubernetes clusters for compute jobs, training, and even interactive notebooks.

Using integrations with external data sources. We're moving many things to the client's infra and automating it. This simplifies many things, including billing given you won't need to budget for yet another SaaS, but also security policies given you control your own clusters (granted, they could be on a public cloud provider, but all we need is an endpoint, a certificate authority and voilà).
> C's complexity is hidden - if it weren't hidden, C would be less complex.

If it weren't hidden, it would be a different language. Would that language be less complex? That depends on what that language would look like.

> But, does that in turn make C more complex?

More complex than what? I'm not saying that C is more or less complex than Rust – what I'm saying is that C is not simple – its considerable complexity isn't visible at first glance, but it's there.
Hi Ellis
Both can be said in many ways that are not without integrity.
There may no longer be any. Back in 2019 GlobalSign still had sub-CAs operated on behalf of clients which aren't logged and are not for any practical purpose part of the Web PKI but nevertheless need audits etc. because in principle the trust path does go back to the Web PKI.

However it was already by that point GlobalSign's intent to get rid of these as and when possible, and that's well over two years ago.
I have no idea how reddit's demographics skew, these days. Tiktok is the teen social network, but reddit's been around for so long it probably has a broader userbase. Except for app users.

Humans absolutely pressure each other into overeating. A great many social occasions in most cultures center around food and result in difficulty for people who struggle to maintain a healthy diet. They don't even need to be special occasions. "Let's go out for [500 calorie coffee drinks]" or "you deserve this [800 calorie slice of cake]" are routine for a lot of people in the US and EU.

It's a different kind of pressure from the pressure to have kids, but it's definitely pressure.
Which, for shortness, we call the Nobel Prize in Economics.

When someone says "North Korea", do you inform them that the correct title is "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea"?
Agreed. Any suggestion that “the banks won’t deal with $GROUP even though they could be making money” is an allegation that the banks aren’t actually very profit-motivated. This allegation seems unlikely to me.

As far as I can tell, the stuff the banks won’t touch is either legally risky (weed) or financially risky.
Please consider changing the title of this submission.

IMHO, the correct title should be “The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2021”.

Rationale: A prize for economics was not part of Alfred Nobel’s will. This prize was founded in the 1960’s by Riksbanken (The Central Bank of Sweden).
Looks like a bit of slack in the belts, is there a way to tighten it up or account for it in software?
Great, if it's encrypted. Wouldn't feed great if any of those nation states could pull a hard drive out and read it all.
Ask HN: Best books/blogs/courses to learn advanced networking concepts?
I am familiar with top down networking by Kurose and Ross. I liked the book a lot and I am looking for a similar book for advanced practical networking concepts like vpns, nats etc. Like the title asks, what books/blogs/courses would you recommend for advanced networking concepts?
This functionality is now fixed on the website
Another option is to call it The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
The abductors obtained that information through his fiance's iPhone. This iPhone was infected with NSO's Pegasus malware and the infection was executed by sending a zero-click text message with automatic payload delivery. There isn't a notification when the message is received so the fiance wouldn't have known it was happening.

This zero-click iMessage exploit is unique to iPhones.
It's more of a generation-based complaint, however I would speculate that raising children puts a lot in perspective. You are forced to solve actual problems instead of caring about meaningless shit. For example my daughter who is a staunchy SJW is also vehemently against becoming a parent, and she won't see a contradiction in that. I guess it's just part of being juvenile.
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing this potential use case. I think it is a very creative idea.
Sure. The problem is that many things that a very strict spec might require have real resource requirements.

There's a reason the URL length in http is undefined, it's because the machine accepting the request doesn't have infinite memory. Even the latest spec is a simple recommendation to accept a request line of at least 8k octets.

You can say "We must support nesting depth of N" in json, but the reality of the situation is that parsers can and will just ignore you. Are they non-compliant? Sure. Are they useful? Sure.

Will people still use them? Fuck yes they will. Because utility trumps strictness in most cases.
It depends on a lot of factors not given here. Retitling is pretty common from what I hear. You want to align the employees from the acquisition with the structure and pay scales of the acquiring company. It's kind of like how I could be considered a senior developer at one company and only a midlevel at another, but be paid the same. It does sound a little suspect that everyone was demoted though.

The equity is tough. I don't see anything that jumps out as necessarily bad.

I think flash drives and SSDs decay a lot more quickly than traditional magnetic HDDs, and may decay more quickly than CDRs.

As a practical matter, I can generally read 20-year-old CDRs I burned just fine (I have only had issues with cheap CDR blanks, such as Fry’s old house brand); for things I want to last long-term, I use archival grade CDR blanks.
Wikipedia says about using wikipedia:

> Wikipedia can be a great tool for learning and researching information. However, as with all reference works, Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source as not everything in Wikipedia is accurate, comprehensive, or unbiased.

So, there's also that to consider.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Researching_with_Wik...
Eek. Greater sharing of data is often cause for concern. But this seems like a particularly pernicious change. For those who are unaware, the NHS will currently treat anyone who needs care: no questions asked, including about illegal activity (as long as you're not judged a danger to medical staff or other patients of course). And they won't report any suspected illegal activity to the police either.

This is excellent from a healthcare perspective. It means that if someone needs care they don't have to think twice about it. They can just seek that care. This looks like it might destroy that trust, and IMO that's not at all worth it.
Real Machine Learning Generated Sneakers
airegan is a series of works which examines the notion of form and design in sneaker culture. It plays with the notion of creator, tool and prior art. The work further reflects the paradigm shift in how we design objects of significance and authorship.

airegan creates a dialog via machine learning and the meticulous assembly of bootlegs, one of a kind sneakers and mass market brands- including couture and hype brands. The series further references qualities of readymade sneakers and their form factors reflect in the final works by reapproaching, redefining and reappropriating the readymade.

When someone says "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea", you don't inform them that the North Korea is not a democracy?
It's pretty funny, in a cosmic sense, that when you have enough money, states will loan you money at negative interest. The amount of effectively zombie business entities that have persisted due to this is probably staggering and it's clearly been letting them devour competition.
