There are (since several years) "bus" electrical systems, simplified, there are five wires (live+neutral+earth+a two wire "bus" ) going everywhere.

You can decide to mount in "box #1" a switch and (say) a socket, then you configure the switch in "box#1" to command light bulb #23 and the socket to be either always on or commanded by switch #18, etc..

What you are proposing is essentially removing the two wire cable to go wireless.

You need anyway the three mains cables (live+neutral+earth) to get everywhere and passing in the same pipe/tube the additional two wires cable is "no cost".

NO practical advantages, but a whole new possible sets of malfunctioning and/or vulnerabilities.

Apart from the added (and not-so-trivial) added cost of a "bus" system as compared to a traditional electric cabling(not that your dream solutions will be any cheaper), the existing solutions work, and work reliably, because by now they have existed and have been tested for many years, let's introduce a new wireless protocol and brand new microprocessors/terminal devices that offer no advantage...
I dunno, but when they do research on MS (multiple sclerosis), they do it on mice with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), which is an animal model of MS.

> If you - a tv show, movie, etc - want to use it you can license it from me.

That's not necessarily true, from what I understand most NFT purchases are not transfer of copyrights.

Let's say I go to a store and buy a CD of my favorite artist. That CD comes with certain restrictions - I can listen to it with my friends, but I can't rent it out to a movie producer that wants to use one of the songs on that CD.

Similarly, when buying NFT, I can use it in a certain way, defined by the license, but unless it's specified, the copyrights still belong to the creator of the artwork.
> I'd rather use and contribute to FOSS that supports a SaaS or proprietary product. Issues are more likely to be addressed

I understand the logic behind this assertion, but i don't believe it holds true at all. Businesses will favor fixing bugs related to main features that drive revenue in. Whatever's not hurting their business is invisible to them.
Reminds me of this joke:

It seems to me that FOSS has become too open. Stallman is, as usual, probably right with his more aggressive GPL licensing that makes it much harder for proprietary software to exploit FOSS.
> Don't work on FOSS that supports a SaaS or proprietary product.

So true. I'd expand on that with a more specific example: game modders. When i look at all the energy spent on game mods which bring significant (gratis) value to commercial games, i can't help but wonder what the FOSS gamedev ecosystem would look like if all those dedicated people put their energy on free-software ecosystem.

Minecraft for example made a fortune on promises of later open-sourcing the game and deriving value from all the volunteers building mods.
I help elementary schools place students into classes. classplacer.com. This involves some clever algorithmic work and turns out to be a very interesting mathematical problem. I only work with two schools since I don’t have time to expand this and I’m right around that $500/month amount but it’s more like $6k-ish per summer. It still requires some active attention on my part but maybe 10 hours of work per summer since most of it is automated.
Everybody is doing that. Even here on the HN you'll get shadow banned - couple of weeks ago whole thread that someone else started just disappeared. I become aware of that only when searching for my own message from that thread. It was semi-controversial issue but nothing in that thread (at least at the time I saw its content for the last time) warranted that. Basically what I'm seeing as a HN is just a view that someone else curates.
That’s on my todo list. The tldr is that I designed the circuit myself and just started messaging people on alibaba, and that’s how I found my PCBA shop and my book manufacturer.

The advantages of vector over deque should be well known to any C++ programmer.
It's an oldie, but The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt and Jeff Cox kept me from succumbing to stress during a particularly stressful period at work.

It's a great business book in the form of an ok novel, and everyone who cares about management or has consistent stress at work should read it.
> $10 a month is less than one lost hour of work.

This is a pretty feeble argument for something, especially for a product where the user perception is that it should be free, and there exist multiple free options already.

While "one hour of work" might not seem a lot, a different way of looking at that is that for most people there are 160 hours of work in a month, and so this thing needs to be worth 1/160th of their life.

It's not so hard to make that choice for a couple of things that are of obvious value, but when they start adding up in your life for basic things, people will question the value of it to them, and I'd argue for most people, search just isn't worth that much to them when there are so many good free options.
The fuel production needs to be carbon negative, yes, that is their idea.
This low-effort comment is popping up more and more.

I would say just assume the title has "in mouse disease model" at the end of it.

Then we can get away from the large dismissive negativity spiral that all of these threads turn into.

This isn't to expert level but good enough to use for maybe the first 5-6 advent of codes or similar. I expect to maybe achieve 2, hopefully.
I dunno if he really meant that, or just said he is explaining the added functionality in detail. I do explain in the commit message the feature I have just added.
They shouldn't be surprised, though. That's the point. The whole web dev community seems to have forgotten about the foundational web standards.

I don't understand that attitude. If you simply pushed the code to a github repo with a note that you won't be providing any support and disable the issues page, why would you feel any burden?
> I write code slowly. But I write good code.

I like that. Your post today, made me curious.

I wouldn't worry about speed. As you progress through your career, you'll get very good, at writing very good code, very quickly.

These days (I'm 59), I can bang out a full-fat native Swift app in a few days, with excellent code (and operational) quality, great UX, high maintainability, accessibility, localizability, customizability, etc.
Database leak of salaries and personal ids in Albania
It’s not relevant because the life expectancy numbers don’t correlate well with health insurance access. Asian Americans have slightly lower health insurance access than whites, but live longer than Asians in rich Asian countries with universal healthcare. Hispanic Americans have much lower rates of insurance access, but live as long as people in Denmark.

Low American life expectancy seems to result from other factors (obesity, high homicide rates, etc).
I've got a personal email server and an old gmail address from gmail-beta days.

I've never used gmail itself (that model doesn't fit my mind), but O do use that Google account for some minor stuff. Unfortunazely, I've repeatedly gotten email targetted at someone else having same first name initial and same last name on gmail (address is in the form of FLastname@gmail.com). I've usually been able to get through to those people to stop them and to get them to reach their targets, but in the last 24 months, a lady from Michigan is repeatedly giving out my email address for everything (I've got covid appts, doctor appts, movie tickets, responses to home buying inquires...). I have no idea how to stop this: this would've never happened with any provider that's not owning like 60% of the market.

I am constantly annoyed and I've considered both stopping mail forwarding from this account to mine (but then I might miss that YT premium notification) and I've tried reaching out to many humans on the other side. But I've so far resisted the urge to cancel those movie tickets or vaccination appts, but things just keep coming in.

I can't imagine how are people not overwhelmed by wrongly targetted email: there's more of it than spam I get on my personal server, so spam filtering would definitely not move me towards gmail. And actual spam also gets through on gmail!

Interesting how Turkey and Azerbaijan have the same brown color, while Georgia and Armenia which are in the same geographical location, have a very different deep green color.
"The Hospital" by Brian Alexander

This book changed my thinking on so many different topics - the US healthcare economy, the rise of Trumpism, and the erosion of the industrial Mid-West. This book really opened by eyes to those communities that have never recovered from the Great Recession and explains so much of what we have seen politically since 2016, including the current left-right Covid split. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get even more angry at the current state of our healthcare system.
This is a feel-good trope that doesn’t remotely reflect the typical situation facing lower income people. Fast food is cultural, not economic. If you go to poor Asian and Latino neighborhoods in urban areas, you’ll see ethnic grocery stores underpinning a food culture that is independent of fast food. My poor Bangladeshi immigrant relatives don’t eat fast food; they buy food from the halal grocer and cook. What’s been destroyed among native born American poor people is that food culture.

As of now, I log in only when needed, and usually to a single account at a time, at most two.

I am willing to try new models for web search if the provider does not log any information. I'll prefer it to be stateless (other than account settings and payments).
Many years ago I knew someone (an electrical engineer by trade) that modified a standard/ubiquitous Panasonic telephone answering machine connecting it to his home thermostat, he used the code to hear messages to switch the heat on.

I believe "cleverness" refers to ingenuity; it's outside-the-box, and trades simplicity in one plane for sophistication in another.

However most "clever code" we come across is lopsided in this tradeoff, and might even require cleverness to understand, which it turns out is not very clever at all.
May I use your last sentence? It is great.
This wasn't a foundational web standard. The :target pseudoclass was introduced in CSS3.

The article is not another pointless potshot at frameworks, it's showing a clever use of a new standard to allow multiple pages in the same HTML document without using Javascript.
More often than not, I see code without any comments. There's this idea of writing self documenting code that really changed the commenting world.

And that whole thing was evangelized by Uncle Bob and the Agile wrecking crew. Before long it was bad to use comments, switch statements, or new up an object. This, in turn, led to the TDD movement, Agile only movement, enterprise patterns for all projects movement, and I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

Please comment your code. Tell me what you're trying to accomplish with this block of code. The function name doesn't always suffice. And I don't want to stare at it for 15 minutes, or re-format your 160 column LINQ statement, or Google your regex so I can read what it does on StackOverflow.

Even commenting pseudo code would be fine.
A few books I enjoyed:

- The Case against Education by Bryan Caplan, discussing the merits of signalling theory (the point of education is to signal your intelligence and conscientiousness) as opposed to human capital theory (education genuinely makes you a better worker with more skills). Didn't find it totally convincing but it was a fun and interesting read.

- The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality by Kathryn Harden, a wonderful book on how hereditary IQ is, and why that is a good case for redistribution, given that IQ is so predictive of wealth/income

- The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson, a biography of Jennifer Doudna, the woman who founded CRISPR and won the Nobel prize. Great read, thrilling.

- My Struggle book 1, by Karl Ove Knausgård. Haven't finished this yet, just started it a few days ago - about 300 pages in. Great, great novel, one of the best I've read in a while.
Twitter has no impact on how websites are designed. I'm not sure anyone has optimized their website for Twitter engagement. No one is selling their services as a Twitter Rank Optimizer. There aren't thousands of websites on how to get better Twitter ranking results. No one has sued Twitter over linking to their site with a small blurb.

It's a comparative statement in response to 'twitter is killing the web'. Twitter has no impact over the web. Public discourse, yes absolutely. But it isn't impacting the web in the same way PageRank (or Google Search more generally) has changed how the web is made.

True, but that kind of mismanagement is what caused Apple’s migration to Intel in the first place. While it made sense for IBM, losing Apple made no business sense for Intel, as Apple was a valuable showcase partner.
Wait, is email spam still a thing? I only get a few spam a day and Spamassassin easily identifies them.

I had assumed that the spammers had moved off to other mediums. Either that or they are specifically targeting big servers like Gmail and are leaving the smaller servers, with their varied (artisanal) anti-spam approaches alone.
This is awesome! Your dashboard is awesome too. I’ve been wanting to track time spent on my side projects, but I’ve never implemented anything. You have a chart for your time spent! So I’m wondering what you use to track that with?

I had a similar reaction after reading this book. I spent a good part of 2020 and 2021 in a deep dive of learning about psychedelic culture, science, and cultivation/synthesis. Regardless of how the science relating to mental health develops, I think these substances are crucial tools of personal exploration and should me more widely (and responsibly) used.

You are half-way right (or half-way naive, it depends on points of view).

Generally speaking (but it depends greatly on the specific home thermal properties and on the kind of heating or AC you have) it is usually less energy intensive to keep in winter your home at a certain temperature (lower than normal but not too lower) than to switch off completely heating and then when you get home boost to the wanted temperature.

nice! thank you for offering that insight :)
I think a cheap gas powered oven would have difficulty regulating to anything too low. Mine acts like an HVAC system. It clicks on an off to stay at the desired temp. There is no high/low/mid setting to the flame, which is large and in small space. My guess is that this leads to large temp swings where low settings can’t be accurately maintained.
> In my opinion, a decentralized, remote workforce is the future of the digital economy.

This is based on the wonky assumption that this:

> There will always be people who abuse the system, abuse your trust and try to game the mechanics for their benefit. […] A remote gig is not a good fit for these kinds of people.

are just some extreme outliers.

However, we were just yesterday having a discussion on HN about „how to work two or more remote jobs at the same time and game the system“

Is a remote-first economy perhaps a system fundamentally at odds with human instincts?
That's not correct. Architecture generally refers to the ISA and the gp comment referred to special M1 instructions.
Here's the thing with the FAANGs though, they hire like crazy. Like my resume is fine but it's not super impressive and I get recruitment emails non stop. If an issue like salary transparency was important to me (it's not), I could easily just tell the recruiter "I'd love to work for your company but this particular issue gets in the way". If a lot of people did that Im pretty sure word would get back to decision makers. To me though, taking a job where I know the company does something I dislike, and then grandstanding about it is in a much weirder moral territory.
Corporate power point presentations is the target audience.

Ha! Equating the relative value and effort that went into the underlying FOSS tech to "just a pencil", is a pretty accurate description of what a company does.

In reality, many a company would put a frame around the picture and market itself as an innovative artist. There's value in the frame, sure...however...

I wrote Emergency Remote[0], and in my experience there are companies which tried to work the same way remotely and got the wrong impression by doing that.

I'm not as confident as the author that so many companies are onboard with remote because of their past couple of years. It's more likely they go the remote way because of employee pressure.

It‘s annoying as fuck but tbh I got used to it, it‘s second nature to me now.
I don’t think you can stop it. I have to imagine that this woman doesn’t have an email address and just gives out what she thought was a fake one, since so many things require it. Otherwise, how could she not notice she never receives anything?
Before FOSS contributions looked good on résumés, people just solved problems and made their solutions freely available so others would not have to solve the same problem again. Once in a while you'd receive an email thanking you for that, more often than not, you'd not get any feedback at all. But that was OK, because it all was just about solving your problem, so the reward was there.

Isn't that at least partly because Intel over promissed and under delivered.
It really depends what your goals are. I often have a problem I want to solve in my personal life, and not very much time. (Ex: code that makes the figures for a blog post.) So I write quickly, doing the minimum to get it done.

I would never do that in a work context, because the environment there is so different, but it's often the right trade-off for things I'm doing for fun.

(And I still make all the code open source because, well, it might be useful to someone even in the state it's in)
Nope. The charger provided with 16" MBP (2019) can't delived the maximum required wattage to the MBP if everything (CPU, GPU, screen brightness) is at max usage. It's no issue for "everyday use" of most users, for sure, but for a pro machine...

Stupid, but true.
Also, remote just doesn't work for some people. This should be decided on a per-company basis
