I agree that modern software development for non-full time developers is brutal, several of my data scientist colleagues are remarkably brilliant people and yet they struggle with some more advanced programming concepts.

However, most of those features are relatively standard and are more conceptual than syntactical in nature. Bashing people because they don't know stuff is stupid and counterproductive, but I shouldn't be forced to code in the programming equivalent of roman numerals just because someone else can't be properly fucked to understand lambdas or interfaces or generics, all stuff that's literally covered in your run-of-the-mill CS 101 course.

It all boils down to having enough humility and empathy to understand that other people are not, in fact, the same as us.
My point is that with current EVs you need to be able to overlap charging with other things. For those who can have a charger at home they can overlap charging with sleeping. For those who have chargers at work, they can overlap charging with work.

If there is parking lot charging where you shop you can overlap it with shopping, although most efforts I've seen in that direction only have a handful of charging spots. Maybe someday there will be enough of those spots that people who don't have home or work charging will be able to do much of the charging while shopping.

But as long as we are still at the stage where many people would have to specifically go to a charging place much like they currently refuel their ICE, the speed difference will be noticeable.

For a person that drives the average amount in the US it is about an hour a year sitting at gas stations vs about 11 hours a year sitting at fast charging stations.

(Of course there may be offsetting time savings. I believe some places allow EVs to use HOV lanes regardless of the number of passengers. If you have a solo commute during times of high traffic, the HOV lanes might save you more than 10 hours a year).
Is FPGA solving the silicon shortage problem in the long run?
instead of 500 types of MCUs in a single manufacturing line, create one type of silicon that you reconfigure. like Zynq but smaller, simpler. FPGAs are efficient and agile. so why not?
> discuss their pay with coworkers, and pressure their employers

It took me a little while to digest this, as I went through a series of reactions.

First reaction: this confuses me, but looking at the subreddit, "antiwork" seems to be a synonym for "labor." I guess when you want to bring something back into style, you give it a fresh name. "Antiwork" is in the clickbait tradition of "abolish the police," or if "clickbait" feels too harsh, maybe it's more fair to say it's a feel-good way to combine progressive goals with radical feelings, tactics, and rhetoric.

Second reaction: on second thought, this has nothing in common with old-fashioned labor. It seems like it's just a bunch of people discovering that they already have the privilege of leaving jobs, turning down jobs, and demanding more in the market. These aren't the people who need a labor movement. They aren't organizing. They're getting what they want because they already have the individual power to get it.

Third reaction: wait, is "antiwork" just teaching people how to be good middle-class capitalist citizens? It sure seems like it. A decent percentage of the submissions seem to be complaining about some kinds advice for how to be successful at work (work hard, love what you do) while celebrating other kinds of advice about how to be successful at work (negotiate pay, negotiate time off, use your market power, walk away from bad situations.) All stuff that middle-class professionals take for granted, no mention of organized labor, just teaching the younger generation to act like good capitalists while they talk like radicals, no chance at all they'll carry this habit with them when they reach positions of authority and power....

Would it be overly conspiratorial to think this is the brainchild of some edgy gen-Z nerds at a conservative think tank?

A post that is linked in their FAQ:

> Should I burn my savings and take a year off?
> I’m thinking of taking a year off to just study some online course, paint, write and play video games

From the top answer:

> I would suggest that you request some extended time off first. Make up a family emergency if you have to. A month or two might be enough to recharge

This is a hilarious. A guide to enjoying a privileged position within capitalism, framed as anti-capitalism.

EDIT: I just remembered this has a name: culture jamming. This is a picture-perfect example of it. You appropriate the style and medium of an established cultural force and use them ironically to undermine the force. In this case, using a lowbrow forum, anti-capitalist rhetoric, and the grievances of workers against management to make the pro-capitalist point that the market gives individuals the power to protect their own interests.
but the entire point of the rule is that you should set up your sites so that old URLs continue to work.
Not anymore is it hyperbolic. Not when you have product names like "Firefox Lockwise" and so forth. Firefox is now a brand name and also a browser name (horrible, horrible move by Mozilla, IMHO). So, FirefoxPWA is probably in some kind of IP violation.
Oh yeah, completely agreed. As mentioned in another comment we might just go Hetzner and buy a singular server in another provider for backup and failover. We'd likely be just fine with 6-7 of the smaller Hetzner servers, too.

I'm not sure that posting a tweet from Bitcoin Magazine that may or may not show someone actually paying for a single meal is evidence that Bitcoin is being used "at scale" as a currency.

Ask HN: Should you store TOTP/Backup codes in password manager?
I've read many HN threads on this topic and gone back and forth on this ultimately deciding against it.

However I still need to 1) store the backup codes somewhere secure 2) keep backups of them, possibly offsite, which would mean I would want to 3) encrypt them with a strong passphrase, basically the exact same situation as securing and backing up my password database.

In which case why not store the backup codes in the password database? Instead of having to memorize another passphrase that will be very infrequently used and likely forgotten. And then why not make the jump and just store the TOTP secrets in the password manager?
This duplication issue between local and remote is going to continue to be a constant source of misery until most users' data is stored only remotely. The local+remote seems like a half-way solution until everyone has fast enough connections and online storage costs are low enough.

I know this issue kicks me in the balls regularly. Suddenly my PC will warn me I'm out of disk space, only to find out that some of my online files, set to "cloud only", have decided they also wanted to live on my harddrive and downloaded themselves when I wasn't looking.
That was a heck of a demo. I wonder how many takes that took.
I believe Clang is able to compile compatibly with MSVC. It would be good customer service for Autodesk to release a Gcc-built Maya, but I would not be surprised if they never do.

RDP connections are distributed as .rdp files which can be (but aren't often/ever) signed. If the file isn't signed you get this warning. If you spin up a windows ec2 instance and downlaod the RDP file from AWS, the file isn't signed so you get this warning, for example.
In a structural context, I think you could argue than anyone who participates in existing institutions which propagate these differences in opportunity/resources is “racist”. Of course, this definition makes it extremely hard to avoid being racist- even by accident. This is how I (perhaps generously) interpret “white people are inherently racist”.

Because many people are born into these institutions, judging someone’s character based on this version of racism is misguided imo. Instead, we must all try to be aware of the effects of our institutions and how our participation affects them.

Curious if you’d disagree?

Having spent many years automating enterprise web apps professionally and random websites for fun and profit, I came to realize a lot of automation is just about the data itself, or rather the movements of it (new service order etc)

This realization led me to create Monitoro[0], a no code tool to abstract websites as a reactive data structure, allowing you to create events based on specific data changes from any website/web app.

What happens after these events is flexible, from no-code alerts and integrations to your own custom code triggered with the event’s data via webhooks.

I believe narrowing down the focus to data and events only (instead of open ended automation) leads itself better to a no-code offering, and the resulting solutions are more robust (web automations are famously fragile due to state changes).

This paper has been repeatedly quoted by the far right of India on how one of the elitist ways of doing something is superior and ahead of time. I saw another comment here which linked to a specific instance of usage.

No. Apple doesn't want to let go of the app store model and the money it gives em. Every other problem one could conceive of is solvable.

yeah, Chrome Remote Desktop is a wonderful piece of engineering. Pretty much just works and was trivial to install. Needed it to remote into a physical machine that sometimes would have no internet, so I'd use an old MacBook Pro running Chrome Remote Desktop to "kick off" the VM before figuring out a better way to accomplish this entire process altogether. I am fairly surprised that they haven't made it a paid feature of G Workspaces or whatever its called now lol
In general it's really the opposite. In 2004 you needed a rack full of $3000 servers to run your medium business. Now it's two physical machines using 5% of the power to virtualize everything that used to run on two dozen.

Over a given period of time, computers get faster/cheaper by more than most businesses expand. When you need to expand, buying a newer, faster machine may cause you to save money because the faster machine uses less power than the existing one.
> primarily used for religious purposes

*intellectual purposes. The constant religion-washing of Indian intellectual history is colonial-era propaganda, for lack of a better term. It has gone so far that now the vast majority of people think there is nothing more to India's intellectual past than Hinduism. A very substantive portion of Sanskrit literature, if not the majority, deals with non-religious topics such as linguistics, logic, poetics, astronomy, rhetoric, mineralogy, statecraft, geography, and more.

I agree with your main point though.
It sounds a lot like the people you're talking to are Republican partisans who view most events through that lens.
Firefox, thanks to "Firefox Lockwise" and other Mozilla products, is now a brand name, not just a browser name. The product title sounds like it came from Mozilla, which is probably not ok.
Apple and Amazon generally haven't paid as high as FB, Google, and Netflix in total comp either though. Of course in hindsight the stock gains in the past 5 years if you worked at either company have still made you extraordinarily well paid, and same with Microsoft.
Wow, I'm not sure how I got the pricing so wrong. I remember visiting the rsync.net pricing page to check. I'd edit/delete my GP comment if I could.

To be clear, is the $25/TB/month quoted with or without the HN discount?

Not really, because AWS costs aren't transparent. You can't drill down properly and even where you can, the prices are disappointingly high.

Outdoor visibility can be solved with a brighter screen.

I have worked under bright summer sunlight on my Air whose screen is 400 nits. It was not comfortable but it was workable. The M1(Max|Pro) laptops are "up to 1000 nits sustained (full-screen) brightness, 1600 nits peak brightness". Surely that would work well enough outside, although I haven't tried it.

No amount of trickery like pointer trails will make up for the fact that the pointer lags behind the input by a very noticeable amount. It's like trying to play a musical instrument with 200ms latency. You'll get distracted and lose your tempo and timing. Or at least I would, and I suspect the vast majority of computer users, pro or otherwise, would as well. This should again answer the original question:

Nope. Not even close. It will change, for sure, but won't end. Look at other industries that have gone through massive consolidation. There are only a few large players in energy space, or cars. Now look at tech? Doesn't even have to go through consolidation, FAANG is already there.

Right, and Standard Notes doesnt appear to be a counterexample: https://standardnotes.com/plans (all prices are in dollars). They appear to use coinpayments.net, which does the exact sort of dynamic pricing you're talking about - it costs significantly more today to purchase in Bitcoin than it did 24 hours ago.
They said simple, not easy.
Sounds like the remaining problems are with the lasers (energy lost converting to x-rays) and energy lost heating up the apparatus, i.e. not things directly related to the fundamental goal which is "to achieve ignition – a point at which the energy generated by the fusion process exceeds the total energy input."

Basically, the amount of energy that actually contributes to the fusion process is now less than the energy produced by the fusion process. That's a pretty big milestone:

> Although there's still some way to go, the result represents a significant improvement on previous yields: eight times greater than experiments conducted just a few months prior, and 25 times greater than experiments conducted in 2018. It's a huge achievement.

This is the least good intentioned response you could have made.
FSM and pure functional kernel based designs you can get just as clear logic that is expressible not just to the programmer but also to business personnel

I’m yet to see a secretary who could “return a new table state such that as if documents became a right fold as binding together a map of composition of signing and copy routines over documents” instead of “get these documents from the table, copy, sign and put them back in a binder”. This is a nonsense some of us want to believe in, but it is not true.

We're not even in the "death from mental illness is preventable and tragic" phase yet, so don't hold your breath.

And if we get there, I have no doubt anti-aging treatments will be seen as performance enhancement. Another idiotic roadblock that is currently very widespread.

Tbf, the US is doing it to kids for some reason. At least the adults suffering from it can benefit, too.

And I gotta add, it would be hilarious if people had to beg doctors for medication to let them live longer. I bet the (literal) dick sucking rate would go up by a lot :D

(Tip: if you don't get what you want from a psych, bring a knife, roll up your sleeves and start cutting. A bit of blood does wonders in convincing them you have problems!)
This is not a given. It's likely that a lot of things would be off-chain.
I understand, but a lot of my refactoring is within functions to simplify and improve legibility once they work, renaming variables with generic names from "result" or "data".

It's a lot faster to do a cheeky F2, knowing that it's not a blind find/replace but a static code analysis with the ability to understand variable shadowing. Definitely not a show stopper though, and it feels more old-school, where every letter you type is more meaningful, if that makes sense.

And a huge +1 for José Valim and the whole community behind him!
No, individual users decide the outcome of a hard fork.

Coinbase, BitGo, Bitmain all tried to force Bitcoin to use larger blocks because that would've gave them more power, and look where we are.
This is why bitcoin is not the answer. Bitcoin is v0.1. It kickstarted everything but isn’t shaped up to the the gold standard. For that we need a more distributed and chain using the fundamentally same consensus strategy. Chia looks way more poised to address this problem and become the foundation for a real economy.
Cynically, would having a black family show up to to meet the assessor next time they come by tend to reduce your tax assessment?

> Over 80% of contributions to Chromium come from Google, about 77% of contributions in WebKit come from Apple, and at Mozilla Central - about 82% of commits are from Mozillans.

I hadn't seen this breakdown before. Curious if this data is easily available or regularly reported on a la Linux kernel contributions?

> Or perhaps legislation hits Google’s default search deal and seriously disrupts things in the ecosystem. That’s pretty much all of the actual funding for Mozilla. Uh oh. Interestingly too though, Apple’s entire earnings would suddenly dip by something like 15-20%

I've always thought the threat to Mozilla from Google going poof has been a bit overstated: others would pay for the valuable real estate, just less. The world would move on. That Apple's huge earnings would dip by a large amount is new to me: are Google payments to Apple really 15-20% of Apple's entire earnings? (I guess I could look this up, so I'll also wonder whether anyone has done a revenue flow graph among various players?)

That's not the people we're talking about. Racking a server and setting it up to do virtualization takes maybe a few hours for one person, if that, over a period of years. Maintenance on the host itself is the same.

The real labor cost is in setting up and maintaining applications for your specific needs. None of that goes away by using someone else's hardware.
