Hopefully, it should be a leading indicator for negative churn -- per-account and new account growth / virality -- and for more complicated products, a way to slice that across different personas and features. ('bakers at high-end restaurants have high NPS for the new precision thermometer tracker while those at regular shops ignore them and have low NPS.')

Esp in early days of B2B products, it's hard to get that because you don't have the volumes and velocity of b2c nor a good way to detect and attribute viral activation. If you are in a startup and not riding the channel of some megacorp, even more so. Alternatives like signups or other activation checkpoints, or say qualitative interviews, are also interesting, but even more spotty. (Ex: startups raising based on GitHub stars.) We don't do NPS as we have our plate full with known funnel holes through less annoying data collection methods, but as soon as we are happy with the baseline funnel, that's the simple next step.
I use Linode $5/mo and Vultr $2.50/mo VPS, and both have been great. I've had the HashBackup upgrade server on Linode for many, many years and only had 1 issue with a forced upgrade that they helped me sort out. Both Linode and Vultr have good customer support too.

Oh yes! I’ve seen this before as well. Should’ve guessed it’s this considering we were talking about sql.
This.

My Corsair H150i Pro AIO water cooler and decent airflow case (Define 7 W/Corsair ML140s) allows me to run my Ryzen 3900XT at 4.4ghz constantly, all cores, for any kind of real life workload.

Good luck trying that with a laptop.
I love macOS because it gives me pretty much every Linux tool and commodity since it's Unix based but is well organised and with a nice GUI design, you should try it out definitely!

I just read an article from a woman who was raped by her transgender friend and then was called transphobic when she threatened to call the cops. Meanwhile comments calling pretty much calling her a white supremacist.

I think some of these whiney kids need to speak to their elders to see how life was when there was real discrimination.

I don't apologize for my skin tone and you shouldn't have to apologize for that either.

The popularity of the Blake family annoys me, as I feel that it's overhyped. Sure, they're fast (on current hardware), but they're supposed to be cryptographic hash functions. I know that BLAKE received some scrutiny in this regard, as part of the SHA3 competition. But then BLAKE was obsoleted by BLAKE2, which in turn was obsoleted by BLAKE3, making the claims to security less and less sensible.

And all this is before the actual winner of SHA3 comes into the picture. With parameters as specified by SHA3 it's a lot slower than BLAKE3, but it is my understanding (IANAC) that

(1) The SHA3 security margin can safely be decreased, as NIST set the security requirements too high. This is one of the reasons for the speed difference.

(2) The sponge-based crypto popularized by Keccak (the SHA3 winner) is much more amenable to cryptanalysis than the more traditional crypto such as the functions in the Blake family. This means that Blake's security would be less sure even had it received the same level of scrutiny. But AFAIK Blake received much less scrutiny than Keccak, or even other sponge-based functions, such as the ones in the NIST Lightweight Crypto competition.

I wasn't satisfied with the Automator way to make a new-terminal shortcut, it was kinda slow, and not 100% reliable. I found FastScripts and was able to make it fast and reliable. (I still use version 2.8, version 3 was just released, haven't tried it.) https://redsweater.com/fastscripts/

That's the rant the came to my mind as well
This comes just weeks after the CEO sold billions in TSLA stock to "pay taxes" when the market is in the middle of the largest bull run of all time..?

Highly suspicious imho.

(There's a very good chance that the ROI on any TSLA stock today will exceed the interest owed on 1 years worth of unpaid taxes... assuming you were not about to recall almost every car you've sold in the past year, that is.)

I am shocked at how bold this was.

Between Dec 21st (the date of TSLA filing this recall) and today, he's sold almost $3 Billion worth. Wow. That's insane.
This is absolutely a massive issue with it. Apple did this with retail employees back in the day and it was terrible. Employee reviews were based on it, managers had to call customers and apologize if the customer didn't leave a 9 or 10 rating, it was absolutely awful.

One of the biggest problems with it is that an average person, unaware of what NPS is, doesn't understand that giving any rating less than a 9 is essentially giving a rating of zero.

If I have what I would consider to be an average interaction with a business, e.g. I just buy something and leave, no need for support, no problems to deal with, etc., that seems average to me. Based on a non-NPS understanding of a 0-10 scale, I'd say that's what, a 7? But the business now considers this as a failure on the part of the person that helped me at that store.

This is why sales people and phone reps are constantly now asking you to give them a 10/10 rating if you receive a survey, because even if they literally just took your money and handed you change, their jobs depend on you acting as if you had a heart attack and they saved your life by performing CPR or something.

It's honestly a terrible system that produces no meaningful feedback for the company and causes employees to do whatever they can to game the numbers. All you're measuring with NPS is how good your employees are at juking the stats, nothing more.
For whoever what motion interpolation is also known as is the soap opera effect on movies and I agree, it looks terrible but most people don’t get it, it doesn’t bother them at all.
RAW just means uncompressed, unlike JPEG or HEIF. You can still manipulate a RAW image.
I'm puzzled. On one hand, you're talking about "an inclusive community". On the other hand, you admit to dismissing thirty percent of women?
I don’t doubt that sexism and anti-LGBT sentiment was much more prevalent back then. But can someone fill me in on the landscape nowadays? I’ve hopped around a few notable companies and have seen nothing but acceptance at minimum. Many of them have gone above and beyond with dedicated groups and communities within the company for identity. Out of three employers I’ve had two female director of engineering, and only one cis white male direct manager. I’ve made some non-straight friends and while they still face challenges, they’ve never talked about being uncomfortable at work.

Sorry if it seems like an aside. Reading this article made me curious.
Got anything to actually contribute to the conversation besides a trite lazy dismissal?

My current self-hosted home server setup:

- Picard for import/metadata

- Navidrome for a web interface + Subsonic server

- DSub on Android to play (+ permanent cache for offline playback of various "deserted island" albums)

If you have Poweramp (Android), it can read the cache folder of DSub. This is the best audio configuration I've found thus far. It's great. Navidrome is one of the best software packages I've found recently. Love it. Picard is equally amazing once you get the hang of the UI.
Thiel was able to get you to work your hardest? In exchange for paying you a good salary? How is that not what the MBA playbook is for high value employees? Higher status white collar/knowledge workers are normally paid pretty well.
I can give you some insight here.

I've been using a Samsung C49RG9x (49" ultra-wide) on Windows 10 for about four months. It was absolutely the right move to shift from 2 or 3 1080p monitors to a single 49" ultra-wide unit.

Now I've switched back to using my 2020 13" MBP, and thus macOS, as my work horse. Long story short I had to use a previously bought "CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 3 Plus" (a dock, basically) to get the monitor to work correctly. This is because macOS cannot correctly render to the monitor over HDMI.

I don't know why this is (because I don't really know much about displays or display protocols - I don't care to neither) but I tried a few cables and adapters and it gave me an odd resolution (3840x1080 I think) and a pink tint over the whole display.

The CalDigit "dock" solved this as it exposes a Display Port (1.2) option to the Mac. The moment I plugged in the dock and then plugged the monitor into it via Display Port it worked flawlessly.

That being said I still had to go into the display settings in macOS and change the resolution from "Default for display" to "Scaled". It's at that point you can choose the correct "5120x1440" native resolution for the monitor.

I believe I'm getting a 120Hz refresh rate too.

I've been extremely happy combining the ultra-wide with macOS and using Rectangle (which replaces FancyZones on Windows 10 for me) to "tile" windows all over the place.

I hope this was helpful.

Undeniably.

Let me frame it this way: “Guns don’t kill people. People do.”

> all while providing poor-quality transportation for a high price to a subset of the population.

I don’t know. I’m pretty happy with the quality of transportation I get out of my car. I can go anywhere I want at any time I want regardless of the weather. It saves me time and I’m happy to pay for that convenience. But I don’t own a car, I lease it.
It seems a common misconception that HN submissions must or should be news. From the guidelines under What to Submit: "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." The guidelines also say stuff like "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate", "Please don't post shallow dismissals", "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community" etc.
Seems practical enough to me, but our government/society wouldn't go for it.
If you can not trust your suppliers then why do you continue to do business with them?

How many times has Foxconn been in the news for the same sort of issues? Is Apple not aware of that? Is Apple unable to find a supplier who can meet their needs?

You say that Apple does a good job, they publish reports and so on. I say bullshit. Apple accepts the status quo and does the bare minimum to make people think they care. Same as Nike and everyone else.

Sure, you don't get the same reports from some companies. That just means that they are not trying to blow as much smoke up your ass.

If Apple or anyone else was serious about doing something they would. In 2007, the tech press was all aglow with the wonder that Apple could command a production change a month before shipping https://www.cnet.com/news/a-tale-of-apple-the-iphone-and-ove...

Now poor Apple is helpless and at the mercy of their suppliers?

You want to hear a solution? Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and who ever start a joint venture assembly. They choose and hire the management. They have representatives at the factory.

The reason they do not is because they do not want to pay what it costs to be done right. If they wanted to, they could. They are smart and powerful people, any excuses are just bullshit.
The Brits might have been able to field a Los Alamos during WWII, but not a Hanford or Oak Ridge/TVA, especially not in the British Isles while under direct fire. Also, in the very improbable event of a successful Nazi island invasion, nice to keep such projects an ocean away in the US.

The UK couldn’t have afforded an expanded post-WWII atomic program at the level the Soviets eventually fielded, at least not while transitioning back to a civilian economy. The US could and did.

The big challenge for the UK to meet at the time was decolonization, a challenge they met with aplomb and whose successful achievement was and is under-appreciated by the global community.
My favorite article about legal names is this one from the LA Times.

"In Japan, Parents Play Devil’s Advocate in Naming Child : Controversy: Couple fights authorities’ ban on satanic moniker. Now the Cabinet has gotten involved."

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-01-15-mn-12064-...

The gist is that in Japan names have to be composed of the official kanji set. A couple figured out they could name their child "Satan" but the Japanese authorities didn't like that particular combination, so the couple sued.
Yep, a lot of people who don't like criticisms of capitalism fail to understand that this system is disguised as a meritocracy but in reality it's a game and you win it by shaking off any moral scruples and stepping on everyone else.
Mine stayed at the same angle (I checked it at install and even adjusted it based on oncoming driver feedback)

I THINK I looked up the lumens of the lights I had previously used and bought the same/most similar I could find. It was definitely one of those things I spent at least some time researching. I actually returned the first set I ordered and got a different set.

And I’m not one of those savages that runs my fog lamps 24/7 either.

So that left me at the temp being the main difference maker as to why it was blowing people out. At least to my estimation. And like I said, I’ve seen new SUVs and even cars that blew me out and my truck does sit on the higher side I would estimate (it’s stock, but the suspension is designed with clearance for light off-road duty)
This is not a demotion. You are progressing in many ways. Remember that a role does not define you. It’s just your responsibility for the moment. You are more than this. You are a combination of all your experience. Keep on chugging. I love that you found your passion. We all struggle with this, a safe job call vs doing what you love. Sometime one has to compromise, sometimes it works out. So happy for you.

That is unfair.

The USA in the nineteenth century had similar problems, as did England.

I saw your post got a down vote, however for eg any given webcam, the best way to improve your video for your mmeetings is likely not to upgrade the camera but to invest in better lighting (eg a couple of key lights) and optimise your visual setup (framing).

It is good advice indeed.

Still, it's amazing how processing has evolved. I took a picture of my 3yo daughter having finally fallen asleep after a bout of night terrors, in the dark light (using a Hue Ambiance in her room; best things ever) - in the S21 Ultra viewfinder I could see absolutely nothing, however after 3 seconds of a steady hand I was rewarded with a fantastic picture better lit than what my eyes had adjusted to.

(If I had any complaints, it would be that I'd like it to be darker - however I can understand why on average most would like the processed result.)

Considering I have a hair salon I go and do said grooming every 2 or 3 months, it's not a pointed commentary but a poor gift from people who don't really know me. You see, it's fashionable in my country to do such a gift to men, except in my case I get it from people who don't really know me but they enter my my life one way or another. Trust me, they learn and next gift is usually perfume or shaving water. Those gifts are always welcome, no matter how many come.

Where is all the concern involving the fact that Peter Thiel was investing in a regime where there is a death penalty for being gay in the first place, why does that get a pass and all the concern falls on his supposed personal safety.

This argument isn't about the fact that Saudi Arabia is ridiculously oppressive to gay people, it is about scoring points to make Peter Thiel look better.
I get weird looks from people when I say that I still use Winamp. It used to have integration with Gracenote to update songs metadata but it has stopped working for a few years now so I've been doing them manually. This MusicBrainz Picard would definitely help me here :)

It’s true whether or not acknowledging it makes you uncomfortable.

It was puerile nonsense. It doesn't have the property of being true of false.

As is the "Gosh, looks like these heavy truths we're laying down are making you uncomfortable" insinuation you're making.

If you want to make money off your library it kind of has to be complicated. Something that could be written in 500 lines should clock in at around 10k. And create a slick needlessly complicated marketing + docs site that conveniently glosses over the ugly warts of the library. Make sure to support react native, it's something very few will care about but adds to the perceived impenetrable fortress of pristine functionality. Make sure to tell your readers-- Don't roll _this_ at home!

Yes, and my side mirror is required safety equipment. When it is knocked off by an idiot, I go get it repaired.

The backup cameras are working in these cars they are recalling.

If it breaks, go get it fixed under warranty.

I've done this with headlight bulbs by the way, and headlights are required safety equipment (potentially as important as the backup camera).

I've also had to do this with a windshield wiper, also potentially a key piece of equipment (I had to drive with my head out the window once in snow/rain).
The kernel can keep secrets from user space, which is necessary for maintaining a secure RNG state.

The kernel also has the hardware access that is used as entropy sources. If the RNG was in user space the kernel would have to provide some way of securely exporting that entropy to user space. It is simpler and more secure to just export the end result of random numbers through a simple API.

All modern OS have made the same decision of having a kernel-based CSRNG, for the same reasons.

But if you collect DVDs or toys at least you have something. The NFTs are essentially hot air tulips in comparison, as far as I can gather.

If the NFT itself contained the artists signature of the actual work, the bits in a PNG or similar, as well as the license for that work, then that would be something at least.

Here's a WebAssembly QNX 4.05 Demo: https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=qnx
https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/media/spee... argues BLAKE2s is twice as fast compared to SHA256.

One aspect switching from SHA1 to BLAKE2s does is it increases the total entropy a single compression operation adds to ChaCha20. This increases speed when folded BLAKE2s adds 128 bits per operation instead of folded SHA-1 that adds 80 bits. So that's two calls instead of four (I'm assuming they kept the folding). Another speedup comes from the fact the hash function constants aren't being filled with RDRAND inputs for every call.

Finally, I'm not completely sure if increasing the hash size itself adds computational security against an attack where the internal state is compromised once, and the attacker tries to brute force the new state based on new output; My conjecture is the reseeding operation is atomic, i.e. that ChaCha20 won't yield anything until the reseed is complete. There shouldn't thus be any difference in this regard. I'd appreciate clarification wrt this.
