You have a flaw, that flaw is envy. It is a very human flaw. It's your decision if you embrace it as part of who you are and just be an envious person, or recognize that it isn't a virtue and attempt to improve yourself. It is not easy.

How to be gracious? Recognize a few things. First, your friends don't need you, they keep you in their lives because they like you, they care about you. They choose to spend time with you, because they have the resources to not but they do anyway. You should feel loved.

The other side of that is, you can choose to be a positive impact in their lives, let them have their positive impact on yours, or you can choose to let your envy sour things. And it will, eventually. In choosing to have these people in your life, you're choosing not to put the weight of your envy on them at the very least, ideally, you're learning to let go of that envy.

You sound like you don't want to feel this way, which is a good sign. And also, of course it is implied, you want these things for yourself as well. So advice on how you get there would best be gotten from them. There's a selfish motive here for you, and that's OK, let them teach you how to do what they did, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do so. Turn that selfish emotion from envy to curiosity.

As far as my finances go, I don't discuss them, especially online to random strangers, but I will say I'm better off than most of my peers, but I live off probably a lot less money than you do.
It’s worse when you discover someone who sincerely behaves this way. I once spent two horrifying hours learning about the emotional journey of cat food from a young Purina brand manager.
Does MinIO match S3 consistency levels?
This. But the problem aren't the people, but the vague warning sign. Another example is

The problem is that many warning signs don't exist to warn people, but to prevent lawsuits. So they are phrased as generally as possible and often include false positives.
There are certainly plenty of nasty fluorine compounds, but they too are quite reactive and quickly bind to something[1].

On a tangent from that link: “Fluorine is a naturally-occurring, pale yellow-green gas with a sharp odor.” What lunatic went sniffing fluorine gas and how did he have any sense of smell after doing so?

You've had some bad experiences with QA people. The people I've worked with are methodical and work like the terminator to find bugs. One guy was so good he could even write queries against QA to show me where the data was inserting / updating improperly. A good QA person is worth their weight in gold.

In my experience, it's hard to have a dev as a good tester. I'm ok at it but not as good as a pro QA person. Good devs look for shortcuts and efficiencies, which is the opposite mentality for good testing.
It does not show up in the UI. Everything done via terminal that doesn't have the magic/expected labels/annotations that truenas expect will not show up in the ui.
Interesting read, and it may be working well for Raycast, but it didn’t resonate with me. The main drawback of code reviews, as they correctly note, is a lack of velocity due to engineers looking at code review as a “not my real work” thing. That’s a cultural issue in my opinion.

At my current startup, we are trying something different: the code reviewer fetches the feature branch and writes tests for the change as part of the review. As ridiculous as that sounds, it’s been working better than we’d imagined.

First, it’s really forced us to design modular and testable APIs. Separation of concerns at the file or library level gives a false sense of good, modular, reusable design. However, having an engineer write a test for your implementation (essentially a second client to consume your interface) really puts this to the test (!). The quality of feedback emerging from this process is often much richer than what a “skim the diff” code review offers.

Additionally, writing the test suite is an “unavoidable” task for engineers. This works two-fold: firstly, we don’t put it off as an “end of the day” item as with traditional code reviews on which you can spend as much or as little time as you have (it’s a ‘compressible’ task, unlike writing tests). Secondly, people send smaller, focused, easy-to-test PRs as a courtesy to the reviewer - and perhaps in part due to what we call MARBs... mutually-assured review-bombs :)
This is a tad late to acknowledge. I was casually pursuing a story on the world water crisis in 2009/10 and there was already a massive load of literature on the subject, including much on California and Colorado, with Peter Gleick already quite the expert on the issues, so I felt I was a decade late addressing it. Turned out to be too hard to photograph at the time (without lots of budget) but it was endlessly fascinating weaving my way across North and Central America looking at the warnings, the cleanups, the aftermaths of disasters and noting that the legal frameworks of the time basically encouraged and incentivized the root causes.

America has the worst regulations and protections I've seen across any advanced nation, Australia comes close though.
>The USA's model of just "build that office complex wherever you want!" wouldn't work.

Which is exactly my point! That's already the current situation on the ground in the USA. So yes, it wouldn't work there. Unless you'd literally move around millions of jobs, offices etc which is absolutely not feasible. Trying to build public transit around that structure just to fit an idealized vision of somewhere else is weird. Japan built the system that fit their needs and their situation and the USA should do the same.
Yes, Compiz, yet another point where Linux could have grabbed massive mindshare in the desktop market, when there was massive ... what do I say ... confusion? incompetence? exhibited by Windows especially.

And... it went nowhere. A shot at a truly amazing desktop that would put it even above OSX.

Squandered.

The desktop market is STILL, ten years after windows 8, STILL ripe for the taking.
This has been my experience for what seems like a decade 10 years:

1) Hm, I'd like to give AMD a shot on laptop hardware

2) look around, wow, not a lot of vendors, the motherboards are always a generation (or two!) behind in ports, features, HDMI version, supported resolutions.

3) Give up.

Which is weird since desktop motherboards seem to appear at a snap of the fingers. I get that there are less vendors in the laptop space, but being that far behind on laptop chipsets always ends up being a deal breaker.
I was in Chipotle at the height of COVID.

They had two production lines: one for in-house shoppers, and one for the delivery services.

What shocked me is that the in-house consumer experience was AWFUL. The Burrito was bad even for Chipotle, they were slow.

The other production line was cranking away and of course the burrito was "better".

Yet they are making, what, 30% more on me? And I have a chance of buying a fountain soda which is pure fucking profit to a fast food joint.

Truly an example of misaligned incentives. I'm not saying to short the delivery services, but at least provide a bit... extra... for the people that are delivering good margins.

You know, the margins that are the difference between the restaurant staying open and not?

I get that the UberEats supply is ... some money ... and it is kind of advertising, but why not offer ... something ... ANYTHING to reward people that get out of bed and give you 30% more money.
The canonical economist solution to this is to introduce road tolls. Make drivers pay at point of use to fund the road.

If code reviewers share responsibility for the code they review, why on earth would anyone review code? Everyone would stop reviewing other people's code. Then you're in the same situation where no one reviews code, and then you yourself would be responsible for your own code by yourself.

It sounds like you think you shouldn't have gotten in trouble for having bugs in your code. I have no comment on that situation because there's not enough back story. Generally "punishing" coders for bugs isn't good policy unless it's particularly egregious. If you were told that your code was sloppy, and if your performance review was affected by it, maybe it was sloppy code? Like I said, there's not enough back story.

If it was an innocuous bug or if it was a hard-to-determine bug, then I don't think you should have been written up, but again, there's not enough backstory to determine that.

But to say that your responsibility is lessened because it was blessed by code reviewers and they should share in your punishment, is, frankly, immature. It does sounds like they were ineffective code reviewers. If your code was sloppy, they should have picked it up, and if it was a hard-to-detect bug, neither you nor the code reviewers should be written up for it.
I honestly don't understand why people seek that. Doesn't that sadness and devastation hang with you afterwards?

I gave it a try, but now I am trying to avoid these stories at all costs (thanks for the warning) and firmly believe everything important in life can be told with humor, as well.

1 in 5 people dies of cancer, and usually it sucks, no happy ending. I really, really don't see the need to bring more tragic death into your life than what's likely coming your way, anyway.

Do you "enjoy" the sadness and crying? (Honest question.)
It's good that no-one is insisting we eliminate danger then.
+1,000 on this very cool app. It is helping me be in the moment, and not worry about the future stuff I have no control over. It is making me more aware of my current state and energy levels. I think this will be a new habit for 2022. Thank you devs!
The presence of an oil derrick would imply a certain level of technological sophistication. This mine might also.
> You would just disagree, ignore or maybe even argue against it.

This doesn't square with lived experience. Postal mail, faxing, usenet, regular phone calls and email are all pretty much useless because we didn't crack down on spamming. Censorship works, at least to keep platforms from being rendered useless by advertising, porn, and propaganda.

Also, the author really does seem to want someone other than the speaker to pay for the free speech. Merely gainsaying my argument doesn't make it go away.
This sounds like an interesting service, but makes me wonder, wouldn't it just be simpler to do a Wayback machine like thing (which I think the article says is sometimes done) than to try to update all URLs.

Are you saying people who don't ask these questions are selfish and myopically focused on the benefits of mandates and lockdowns to themselves?

That's pretty harsh. I can see where you're coming from it sometimes seems this way especially if you're discussing it on the internet. But I have found there are a few of these people who have thought about this and do have concern for the consequences and are willing to have reasonable discussions about it. So I don't think it is very constructive to generalize so negatively about people.
Well, if you find anyone calling it a crisis IRL, why don't you ask them?
I think you can acknowledge the truth of what your brain is saying about the monetary opportunity. You can also acknowledge that you will have to "up your game" to get to that next level.

But, you can also just realize that life and especially corporate jobs are just a game and don't take it so seriously that you deteriorate from within. Just cruise, try your best for a few months, and if you don't like it after that time period - then change gears or just go into slow cruise mode

>The image amplifies what we already know is a fundamental problem with OAuth; people, instead of forgetting their username/password combo, now are forgetting which provider they use to sign into a service.

I already have this problem with Matrix/Element all the time. Not only do I forget my username and/or password on networks I've been logged into for months, I also forget homeserver addresses and all these other settings I had to set up at some point. Every time I get logged out of something, it takes a day or two to figure out how to get back in.
> And because unlike everywhere else in the US DC workers who live in Virginia or Maryland don't pay DC taxes

I don't think that's the case. In my experience as a remote worker you always pay where you live, not where you work.

I don't think there is a concept of "main executable". There may be an executable that shows a GUI for the user, but most of the antivirus is probably implemented in the kernel, file system filter drivers, etc.
You could compare to their December 2019 blog post:

It reads like they roughly doubled the read (GET) throughput for 32 nodes. Though I don't know how much of that would be AWS improvements vs MinIO improvements.
For one thing, I don’t have to deal with every new website’s crappy signup and email confirmation flows, broken password reset flows, login forms that deliberately break password managers, etc. Obviously Web3 has nothing directly to do with these things, but a consistent auth system becoming ubiquitous could be inherently nice.
We've had the lagged death rates from Omicron in South Africa over a week ago. It's apparent that Omicron is the most contagious, least deadly variant and it cuts through vaccinations. Vaccinations and boosters are preventing severe hospitalizations but not strong enough to confer herd immunity. Omicron has also shown how previous infection natural immunity confers a broader protection in this case. The Democratic government and media is slowly pivoting the messaging so there's not too much cognitive dissonance for your antagonists. Everyone is getting Omicron, we'll mostly be ok, the pandemic will be over, welcome to another influenza like virus.
I live in SF and I'm not aware of there being any lockdowns here in the city either.
On youtube, on a 1080p display, 4K video is much better than the same video at 1080p. This is because youtube uses a different, higher quality set of codec settings and encodes video at a higher bitrate.

In a less imperfect world, if you're watching video on a 1080p display, watching a video that is encoded at 1080p will give you the best quality for any given bitrate in any given codec.

Ideally youtube would give three setting choices: codec, (ie, if your device supports decoding VP9 in hardware, it will do that, and fall back to successively worse codecs) resolution, and high quality vs low bandwidth. But that would mean 1) encoding every video twice as many times and using about twice as much total storage. I can understand why they've combined these two separate tunable settings into one resolution+quality knob.

They do separate out codec though; afaik most videos will be available in VP9, h265, and h264. Possibly others.
You appear to be confused about the true mortality rate. The page you linked gives case fatality rates, which are irrelevant due to lack of testing. The vast majority of infections were never tested, and thus never counted as cases. The CDC estimated the real fatality rate at 0.6%. Vaccines and other improved therapies are now pushing that fatality rate lower.

Everyone will get infected. Shutting down can only delay that.

I have nothing but sympathy and sadness for the plight of the author. It's terrible and unfair. I would certainly rather be snuffed out instantly than have to suffer with a long and incurable illness.

However I found his last point a betrayal of his life and intelligence. Commenting about afterlife for which there is isn't a scintilla of evidence nor mechanism is a poor way to leave his very moving piece.

Presumably a service that allows you to register using a public key as a unique identifier would require you to sign something with the private key.

You can't just keep repeating "saying no such thing" when you (they) are saying such a thing.

They joined in to a root comment reminding people to reject Norton employee resumes, by saying that Norton people who don't get other jobs are morally bad people and programmers are free agents who could get other jobs (by implication they would do so if they were morally good people). Under this worldview, leaving shows moral goodness so hiring them should be encouraged more than hiring a random person. Saying "nuh uh" isn't enough to wriggle out of it.

Intel Patch for Linux Will Allow Updating System Firmware Without Rebooting
>The idea here is that you could give keys to your friends and family, or to some sort of business service, then if you lose your key, use your friends to “vouch” for you and move the account to a new key.

>You can also do this to require approval from your friends before a certain amount of money moves out of your account, making theft significantly harder.

Okay, what if your relationship with those people changes? If you've lost your key or its destroyed (maybe as a result of those relationships changing before you've had a chance to do anything), presumably you can't remove the trust relationship with your former friends. You then can't withdraw unless your new enemies say so, and you can't change that trust relationship.

Plus what are the rules around removing the withdrawal limit? If I can just remove it at any time, how's that going to prevent theft, as I can just remove the limit before the theft?

This is now yet another security consideration for regular users. In addition to ensuring your key is backed up, you have to think about contingencies for if/when these trust relationships change.

But flip this feature on its head and give your bank this trust, and at least you have the same resiliency as your current bank account. Ironically, you likely want to trust a large entity with vast resources (presumably too big to fail) instead of friends and family if you're looking to be secure against loss of your private key.
You are vastly over estimating the hazards under a hood. When opening a hood and looking for a problem, filling up a water tank, checking oil or topping up the radiator the greatest danger is probably somehow not propping the food open correctly or forgetting to let it cool down first and touching a hot part or fluid and getting a minor burn.

Opening a car hood is miles less dangerous than changing a light bulb on a desktop lamp, it's probably even less dangerous than driving the car on the road.
They are the highest priests of scientific materialism. If brain activity is all that is to life, they know more than anyone.

You're mistaken
Until 10000 years ago, there was no such thing as intergenerational wealth or surplus, everyone was a migratory hunter gatherer before that owning what they carried. Some people in the Amazon still live like this.

So the notion that massive intergenerational wealth is innate to humans and natural is absurd. Or if it is innate and natural, then the lack of that is innate and natural as well. Most of behavioral modernity had none of this at all, it is a relatively new phenomenon, not "innately human".
I'd wager a fair number of 19 year olds are still in high school, though. At least for part of their 19th year.
> I find "the part with the Ark" fascinating. The number of different traditions that have a deluge myth has to make you wonder if there isn't something behind it.

The biblical account isn't the oldest version, however. So it seems unlikely that that version is correct, whereas older versions were wrong. Although the older known versions weren't very believable either, so it's possible something might have happened, but it doesn't seem like there's really much to go on beyond "there was a huge flood, and a few people survived." Which definitely did happen, repeatedly.
> there is no freedom from work. But there's the option to pursue the work one likes :)

True, "Freedom to pursue ones interests" is more accurate. Many on HN are blessed with some degree of interesting work, but 99% of the world is not and for them "Freedom to not work" is almost synonymous.

It's true people go in one of two directions though. I think this is easily revealed with a long enough holiday without plans, initially everyone does lazy mindless things (recovery), then people get bored and either go in search of ever more entertainment, or seek out ever more creative, explorative or intellectually stimulating activities. i.e making your own "work".
