- Hardware kill switches, to disable mic & camera.

- Hardware kill switches for both the bluetooth radio and the built-in wifi adapter.

- Needs to look good at 1024x768 resolution (I only code at that resolution, because although large resolutions are great, I have to put in extra effort to see code at higher resolutions)

- Built in camera cover that slides closed, which, alongside a kill switch gives me extra peace of mind (incase my OS gets compromised through silly mistakes like running malware laced office documents). Yes, some would call this paranoia, but paranoia does not work retroactively; you have to be proactive.

- Don't care about the keyboard, since I have only ever used external USB office keyboards.

- If the processor is an Intel, I want the Management Engine removed, preferably by someone else as I am at a loss as to how to disable that thing

- I only ever use the mains power supply to power my laptop. Why let a battery degrade over time from being constantly at 100% charge? It would be cool if I could just take out the battery and have the laptop still work with a mains supply.
A lot of us do care. Some of the most interesting and fulfilling conversations I have are among such people.
> Same goes for tether, majority of those involved in crypto know what they are doing, and the pump-up effect it's had to crypto.

Not at all.

While those at the executive level have some awareness, the rank and file that I interact with at crypto companies barely understand the tech, and have no knowledge at all of the environment. It's flabbergasting.
Been following this for years - my email volume is enormous. Having all DL mails go to another folder was not sufficient. Making cc emails go to another folder clearly identifies anything that “might” need my attention vs. FYI emails.

You can increase font size on the system, without using a low resolution.

Unless the cop is saying things they shouldn't be saying. I think you are missing the point of the comment you are replying to. They are saying that cops only use that footage when it benefits them (that's assuming the footage exists and they didn't "forget to turn on their camera") and when it doesn't benefit them then they won't release it or the footage might get "lost". Also the police have been known to edit or post misleading footage to their own gain.
Something like that exists for DVORAK. Maybe someone else makes a similar product that works like an any keyboard.

Generalized hatred is not real hatred. Only hatred aimed at a person counts.

Generalized hatred at unknown private jet owner doesn't count because it's not actionable .

It only counts if you can congregate on that person property (real or virtual) to make them feel the hatred in the form of insults, chants and so forth

This article paved the way. FWIW I had written a fully deterministic (non networked though) game engine around... 1991.

HN user "dfan" here wrote a fully deterministic game engine for the DOS game Terra Nova in 1996.

There were probably others but resources about deterministic game engines were very rare for nearly nobody had one so this article about AoE was a gold mine for many.

Some terms may have changed, but the techniques are basically identical.

Blizzard in 2002 with Warcraft III had basically solved that issue for RTS once and forever too (and maybe for Starcraft before that?) and not much has changed since then.
Yes, thank you very much for the explanations!

It seems to my eyes that even with 10" devices with 1080p display, my six years old 27" display with 1440p is much better to work with than 1080p of the much smaller devices. I guess we need a more objective definition of Quality of Experience (QoE) for display quality to avoid being duped by the manufacturers.
It's the wsj, they have a right wing partisan lean, which means any discussion of renewable energy or California has to lean negative.

Edit: Surprising amount of downvotes here, didn't realize this was so controversial, the Wikipedia page talks extensively about the wsj's stances (with citations):

"The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal rejects the scientific consensus on climate change. The Journal disputes that it poses a major threat to human existence and can be prevented through public policy and has published articles disputing that global warming is occurring at all. The Journal is regarded as a forum for climate change deniers"

NCSC sounds security warning over use of BYOD
If you're at the level where that is a concern, you should be putting your air-gapped computers inside a bunker. This should be obvious to anyone doing threat modeling at this level.

It is clear that there are a myriad ways of modulating data in environmental emissions out of a computer; we don't need a new paper from this guy for every single light, RF, sound, and heat emitting component in a computer. We know. I can come up with as many of these as you want. Last time I talked about this I came up with a dozen or so, and after checking he'd done them all, except one: the camera LED. So I wrote a 5-minute tweet-sized PoC to modulate data using the camera LED. That would've been on par with his papers.

If he actually did real science e.g. trying to estimate maximum theoretical data transfer rates with these techniques then his research would be valuable, but he isn't. He's just doing minimal proofs of concept. We all know these things work. Tempest for Eliza has been around for 20 years now and was a cooler demo than anything this guy has put out [1].

You have a very twisted idea of what the words "of substance" mean.
I’m surprised the article doesn’t mention the 2019 movie The Lighthouse. If you haven’t seen it and find this article interesting, do yourself a favor and watch it.
Yes, this is my intended meaning. I am a PhD student working on my thesis. After a certain number of hours of doing mathematics or algorithm design, I have to switch to easier tasks like reading papers in a domain I'm familiar with, or documenting code.

While I cannot speak for anyone but myself, my performance on highly challenging tasks is capped at 4-5 hours per day. At that point, it is better for me to switch to lower hanging fruit.

If I am feeling especially inspired, sometimes I'll put in a 12+ hour day of hard work. Rarely, even two or more in a row. But inevitably, I will feel extra burned out in the subsequent days.

Guild is some exception, not so common in unions. Always it end up more like typical aflcio union. I also have made some switch between front end and back end in job, have done some security job and back to normal developing, all these are usually harder in unions. Maybe in theory it is not required but in practice it is almost always this way.

Also I have started prior tech company, it would have been hugely difficult if i had to make negotiations with unions.
Fireside Friday: October 15, 2021 – A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry
Ask HN: How is your life after getting ADHD/ADD Diagnosis?
I am 28 and have been suffering enough to know for sure that I am ADHD. I am a bit sceptic with going to a psych and getting a diagnosis. Mostly because of side-effects of the medicine. I developed a lot of hacks to stay on task and complete them such as coffee, pomodoro, google calender, white noise music etc.

But recently, it has been overwhelming for me to focus, and since last months, it seems I have no at all. Everything seems fking hard. Even the little ones. Also, I have rejection sensitive dysphoria and some off-handed comment replays in my brain like a blockbuster movie in theatre.

I am thinking about going to psych next week and get a proper evaluation and if possible meds.

How has been your life after meds or diagnosis?

The only comment my Razer Blade 15 gets is that it looks nice, when people notice it at all. The LED on the keyboard is programmable if you don't like that and I find it handy for low light situations. The triple-snake logo isn't that obtrusive either.

I guess what you're trying to do is ascribe some value to HTTP? Difficult thought experiment imo. Never the less: Let's say this ubiquitous protocol was mystically developed and owned by a private entity. I suppose the closest parallels in terms of direct commercialization would be Oracle or RedHat. If you wanted to play out that hypothetical you'd either have people buy into a license to your protocol somehow, adoption might be difficult, you could let everyone adopt it without enforcing some type of license, then you'd retroactively try to strongarm the project, you'd likely end up with a Joyent Node / IO js situation where someone forked it and that became the thing.

All of that is to say, HTTP is effectively infinitely valuable to society at this point, and it's so valuable precisely because it was never directly commercialized.
That's all I needed to see.

You are seriously overemphasizing the import of very minor inconveniences. The world doesn't owe you a maximally convenient well integrated instant messaging ecosystem!

I think it's very lame that Facebook would censor links to a competing site (if that is indeed what they're doing, which I'm happy to stipulate), but Facebook is not in any way the only way for people to see links to that site. Contemporary society provides that site a ridiculously giant number of ways to get the word out. There are lots of other sites where people can share the links, they can buy ads in articles, they can optimize to appear in search results, they can encourage people to share by word of mouth in messaging, email, and real life, they can buy billboards or ads in subway cars or lots of other things. I am not exaggerating when I say that it has never been easier to get the word out about something. That doesn't mean it's easy, it's just that it's always been hard and it's much easier now. This is why advertising has always been big business.

The Facebook of today didn't exist when Facebook was new. How did they ever get the word out and get engagement? They figured out other ways! Facebook is just not a necessary component of spreading the word about a new site. It's very useful, but also very possible to route around it.
pro tip: don’t care too much about titles. The author of articles rarely are the one who also titles the piece.

So this volume is an email every 3-5 minutes, for 9 straight hours. Presumably this type of job is not an 8-5 deal so you'll be answering emails early in the morning and late at night, but let's assume there are at least some periods during the work day where it will approach that volume. Let's also assume you've already removed all the newsletters, spam, etc. and these are 100-200 emails you have to at least look at every day, and that you can't just ignore or delete a chunk of them.

The hardest part will be filtering the (as @sumthinprofound put it) the "do" from the "defer." If you're starting out you probably can't delegate much beyond the admin stuff. Utilize tagging and importance levels. If something is sent only to you, it's probably more important than something sent to 15 people. You can't jump every time an email comes in or you won't be able to do more than a few minutes of real work at a time. So, try to get away with only actively checking email every 30-60 minutes and taking a dedicated block of time to reply to everything that you can. Your particular org structure and culture will determine how exactly this plays out, but when I was running a brick & mortar business I would spend about 30-45 minutes on emails twice a day, at 8am and 7pm (give or take). I was only looking at 50-60 real emails a day though and that time usually included whatever work I needed to do to "complete" that email.

You'll want to get to the point where you can be alerted to truly critical emails, but the other stuff just sort of sits there until you can get to it. It will take some time to figure that out, and only you know what the reaction at your work will be if you miss a critical email for half an hour, to know how strict you can be with your filtering (stricter is better obviously but you will end up with false negatives and stuff sitting in your inbox for an hour that really should have been addressed within five or ten minutes).
Except in the modern system, you mostly get that wealthy by capturing legislative/regulatory processes. So statesmen seems pretty accurate.

With 13 I can easily sit on the couch and read an ebook and almost feel like it is a real book since I can position the computer easily. With macbook air the battery also last super long.
I think a good benchmark for most APIs is if someone, who isn't a subject matter expert, can come in and understand the facade the system exposes. For most LDAP/SSO/IdP/etc systems I'm completely and utterly lost without spending hours reading manuals and even then it's iffy. With this project I looked at this graph and instantly knew their head is in the right space: https://kanidm.github.io/kanidm/#why-do-i-want-kanidm

It seems like they are reinventing the API for what identity management should be and then calling that API from points of enforcement (LDAP, RADIOS, etc). I have a feeling, as long as deploying this is simple, it would be amazing especially if their API exposes a limited amount of data that could be stored. It seems like from this graph that "Account Data References [kanidm]" which is a great sign: this is not a shared database, this isn't a complicated spec, this is a service that manages a mapping of login credentials => (UUID, metadata) in a secure way and integrates into "everything". You can then run whatever things on top of that which you need (email, corporate profile, etc) which, if this API is simple enough, isn't too hard to build or buy especially if the SSO token contains a display name, username, and email since, in my experience, that's all most websites ever use from a jwt since the entire space is too unstandardized on everything else.
This is the right answer, but nobody wants to talk about it. We didn't have mass shootings 70 years ago, it's obviously a growing psychological issue.

Which is what, exactly? If you’re suggesting that devs will lose interest in Python then you’re simply not paying attention. Python is _gaining_ in popularity, over Java, C, even JS. It’s not that control over typing isn’t an issue, but developers are undeterred.

This is fair enough, but by saying "you're just arguing semantics", the implication is that it does not matter what words are used and what they mean. And I described why I do think it matters (in summary: the use of the word monopoly for this argument really does confuse people about what the problem is). So I'm debating semantics, yep, but in my view, I'm not just debating semantics.

I highly recommend Getting Things Done. It's a whole system, but there are lots of small rules you can extract and use to great effect.

For instance:

- If an email takes 2 min to answer, do it.

- If it requires an action from you, but at another time. Move it to a "next action" folder (that you'll work through when you have the time).

- Also "archive" and "references" folders are useful, possibly organized by project.

- "Inbox zero" to reduce stress and keep yourself sane.
The TDP of the M1 is between 15 and 20 Watts

That's the TDP. For light daily tasks (casual web browsing, e-mail, etc.) the M1 primarily relies on the energy-efficient Icestorm cores. While typing this comment and having some applications in the background (like Slack), package power use hovers between 40 and 300mW (roughly 100mW on average).

The energy efficiency of M1 MacBook is remarkable. My wife had an M1 before I did. She was in some video meetings on battery for some hours, I wouldn't believe her when she told me she still had 80% battery remaining.
The easiest change is to route cc’d emails to another folder that you don’t check regularly.

I handle 2x your volume and this was the best change I ever made.
Use mail rules to sort email into folders automatically. Try to keep email you don't need to read immediately out of your inbox. Use mail rules to highlight messages sent only to you, or where you are in the to: section so that they stand out. Set up mailing lists for each project to make sorting simpler. Use auto archive to keep the size of your inbox in check. Make sure you have a search index set up so you can quickly find emails buried away in archives. Make use of the "tasks" feature to flag emails you need to respond to later.

My family owned and operated a full service bakery. That means they did everything from breads, to cookies, to cakes, to weddings and special orders, as well as seasonal favorites.

Being a baker is hard. Your staff has to be there nearly all the time prepping, proofing, baking, selling, you're competing with not only supermarkets but also operations like Costco/Sam's Club which can produce high quality baked goods at very low prices, etc.

Also remember that your operation is like a factory where you're always dealing with storing supplies, which expire in a matter of weeks sometimes, and then your produced goods expire in a matter of days.

Also, you'll be dealing with customers whose only experience is supermarket bread, which doesn't go stale, doesn't mold, etc. and they will think your product is inferior if it does.

I think things have changed since when I was a kid in the 80s, but if I were to start a bakery now, I'd be thinking about niche products- focus on a tiny market segment, specific to specific groups- health conscious, gluten free, specialty flavors or some other segment that is going to be willing to pay for a premium product. Do not try to compete on price.

I'd be thinking about marketing heavily, and I'd think about creative outlets for both producing and selling.

For example, maybe sell at a farmer's market instead of a storefront. For production, rent a commercial kitchen instead of fronting the money for making equipment, selling online or subscriptions as well. Basically cut your costs as much as possible while you do your proof of concept.

Indeed, a little over half a minute from the start of the fire to total destruction of the airframe, it is amazing that there were that many survivors. Important to note that the crew and the airframe itself were two separate components, but that the passenger area was embedded in the fuselage.

More miraculously when you have seen that footage is to realize that some of the passengers and crew walked away without major injury.
