I am fortunate to have a basement. I have an L-shaped uplift standing desk. I recently upgraded to an M1 Max Macboox pro, and I driver 4 external monitors with this. The main monitor is a 34" wide screen, the others are all 27". I "require" that the vertical resolution of all monitors be the same, at 1440, so that dragging windows between monitors is easier.

I use an Apple keyboard with touch Id, and a Logitech Mx Master3 mouse.
I have a Blue microphone for video conferences. This is mounted to the desk behind the monitors on a boom, and hangs over the monitors but out of the scree area. I also have a Logitech webcam, since the laptop is off to the side.

I use OWC thunderbolt dock for 2 monitors, and a second thunderbolt to dual HDMI for the other 2. Works like a charm.

I don't move around the house much, since my setup is so custom.

If I travel for a few days, I'll bring the laptop and a small Asus USB-C portable monitor.

If I travel for longer periods of time, I have a pelican Air case that I am able to fit 3 monitors into. These are 24" QHD monitors, so all running 2560x1440 resolution.

I'd like to upgrade those 2560x1440 monitors to 27", but might need to get a new pelican air case, or get more careful with monitors in the existing case.

"Most" of my work is fine on the Mac, but some requires windows. I have a "company" PC laptop for this purpose, but also have my own "PC" Desktop with an 8 core i9, very fast nVME disk, and lots of memory.

I use both of the PC's via Microsoft Remote Desktop, so I can pretty seamlessly use Mac, Windows, and Linux as needed.

I've found that the M1 Mac actually runs Arm Windows pretty well, and I've even run a CAD program, Altium Designer, using it.. again, with impressive performance, given that it is emulating x86.

I'm extremely happy with the M1 mac.. pricey, but so far, well worth it.
if that happened i'd say told ya so. should have funded the post office.
And yet, reality is following along. Plenty of shops started to have special opening times for e.g. the elderly and disabled during the pandemic - annoyingly, it was often in the early morning, if you're in those categories you may need more time or help to get up in the morning so you'd miss the boat. There was also one where they reduce sensory input during certain times (dim lights, turn off music, etc), but similar thing of a 'block of time' for people in a certain category to go grocery shopping.

And of course there's working hours / clocking in and out.
It's 2022 and old Honda resale value has never been higher. Some models are worth as much or more than they sold for new.
2 questions:

* why?

* security?
I agree with this one, I hope things will turn out for the betterment of the country.
I don't think the need is that larger when compared to today's applications, esp. Electron based applications.

Eclipse still uses less resources than VSCode/Atom while juggling more balls at the same time.
A few maybe. But when you have 50 routers, 60 switches, and 10 firewalls, then it's not exactly fun to need to start thinking about if this name is latin or greek, and how exactly do you even spell it?

Your laptop? Barely matters. Won't show up in a traceroute.
Now that is a spectacular euphemism. That term sounds like something out of the movie "Office Space."
> But sometimes the threat — or the perception of it — doesn't pass. In that case, a person can lose hope of escape and, "the prefrontal cortex deliberately inhibits the production of dopamine in the basal ganglia to well below its functional level," says Leach. "That's associated with the feeling of hopelessness." If this continues for too long, it can become impossible to restart dopamine production. The person in this situation begins a "spiral of disengagement,"

My opinion on this is that a better goal (though not an exclusive alternative to) UBI is what I call "basic needs automation". Instead of distributing arbitrary amounts of money to pay for basic needs, it seems like it would be better if we can automate the maintenance of those needs to a point where the costs are negligible.

Easier said than done, of course, but imagine reaching a technological point where instead of having self-driving cars, we have self-sustaining food/clothing/shelter.
Any attempt to depict the US as a free country prior to 1920 is a nonstarter. There was slavery, Jim Crow, and women could not vote. Seriously, give me a break.
> The people of 2022 will probably never see a wire outlined against the sky...

Haha, so wrong. All I see is power lines everywhere, and I can't unsee them. SO ugly.
You keep moving the goal post.

It seems it's criminal to run a service on the cheap, there must be a terrible human being behing it.

Well no, the dev is not attached 365 days on its computer.

A freelancer is hired part time for the duration of the vaccations. It cost a full dev salary for one month, taking in consideration training time, that's all.

> If you’re running a website where extended outages are no big deal and you don’t care about lost revenue, then it’s not really a valid comparison to the typical business website.

Most services can actually go down once a month, and be a viable business. You are not google or facebook.

In fact, most human service goes down for days: bakeries, lawyers, teachers, plumbers.

The fact your think internet services should be up all time is only in your head. Humans adapt perfectly.

It's not that a big deal. Most of our softwares are not as important as we want to think.

If you really want a 99.99999% up time, you going to increase your service quality by 10%, and your service cost by 1000000%.

The funny thing is, the downtime of ourservice has not being more than github's downtime in the last few years. So honestly the freelacer is mostly hired to have drinks on the house. Because monolythes are very reliable in the first place.

> Your situation is unique, not a model by which other companies should follow.

Every situation is unique, I never, ever stated it was " a model by which other companies should follow". You did.

There is no such thing as "a model by which other companies should follow". You must adapt to the situation and goals. Engineering is about compromises.

My post is simply stating the reality that you can get very far with good old tech.

And a lot of projects don't need the cloud, or high availability. Yet they pay premium for it.
"Relaxing" is not synonymous with "lying in bed."

For some people, reading is relaxing.

For some, writing is relaxing.

For others, playing video games is relaxing.

For yet others, making video games is relaxing.

The point is being able to decide and structure your own time, rather than being beholden to someone else's demands just in order to have enough money to keep existing on this planet.
Haha, investment banks do not pay SWEs well at all (outside of certain rare elite niche roles anyways).

You'll be lucky to make half the compensation a FAANG engineer makes at a typical investment bank while always being treated as a second class cost center employee.

Amongst the FAANG companies, my understanding for compensation is:

Netflix, Facebook > Google > Apple, Amazon

...adding in the MULA companies, believe Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb are towards the upper end of the spectrum while Microsoft is towards the lower. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I felt the same way, so I bought a BlackBerry KeyOne; now I have a Key2, and it is the happiest phone experience I've ever had. I turned off all the auto-correct features - I just type what I mean to type and the machine stays out of my way.
Interesting, I'm assuming Browsix must have been rewritten in Typescript significantly later; TS must have been much more niche in 2016 (though wikipedia tells me it may be as old as 2012)
I believe the requirement that came in earlier for large apartments and condos, but 2017 was the date for detached homes (sadly by far the most common form of development here)

I’m not a super expert, but I believe HVAC here in new builds is about 20-30k, split fairly evenly between parts and install. ERVs are around 1-2k for parts and another grand or so for installation (and significantly easier when done at build time). It likely helps we have such extreme climate our HVAC costs are already quite high, so an extra $1000 here or there isn’t a big deal.

Places more moderate it could easily be a much bigger percentage of the budget and come with reduced ROI. Right now over night I’m heating about 30C temperature difference and I live in one of the most mild parts of the country. Recovering energy is a big deal, as is capturing moisture to reduce load on the humidifier (evaporating water is far from free).
> No idea why you think that some EU institutions doing something incorrectly absolves everyone else.

Implicitly, I think signal11 is making this argument:

Prior assumption: You cannot read primary legislation and understand it correctly, unless you're a lawyer specialising in that area of law.

Instead, you should copy people who've probably received competent legal advice.

Observation: A great many websites, including those of EU government bodies, use cookie consent modals.

Conclusion: Cookie consent modals must be legal.
Look at South Africa. The Omicron variant swept through there starting about 8 weeks ago. It didn't cause a major increase in deaths.

Sure, but I also have a supercomputer in my pocket now, which is pretty neat. We couldn't even have this conversation without incredible amounts of technological innovation that's happened over the last few decades — well, at least not without endless "letters to the editor" happening over the span of weeks (and maybe not getting printed at all).

Automated X replacing manual Y is usually good, IMO, even if the idea that it'll result in more leisure time is pretty much bunk.

Even on a personal level, say a car lets me do a trip in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours walking. I don't relax for an hour and a half. I go check more things off my todo list.

Isn't that good? You certainly could give yourself more leisure time — there's no capitalist overlord forcing you to do your own personal todo list — but since you have more time, you've decided to do more things to help yourself.
You should never be developing code with your own personal wallet. Every time you need to create a program that needs to control its own private key, you should create an entirely new wallet and fund it with the minimum amount needed to transact. If you are using code to deploy a smart contract, fund a single-use wallet to make the deployment then transfer ownership of the contract to a multisig or hardware wallet.
Possibly, hard to tell. Corporate profits are at record highs[0], so while it might be difficult to justify Tesla P/E ratio, you can't say no one cares about profits anymore. These companies are flush with cash and buying up anyone with a half-baked idea, but it's hard to blame them.

We also are not even close to the most profitable stretch in stock market history. We are likely due for a correction somewhere as corporate debt pushes higher and higher [1], but even long profitable periods of the markets can be marred by corrections (if the fed lets the corrections happen).

I don't know, these gloom and doom articles spread fud and I think that if anyone could pin down when and where and the size of the correction, they should make those investments and make bank. Otherwise, the fundamentals of investing should remain the same.

At its worst, formalized verification is an elaborate and overcomplicated process for converting coding bugs into specification bugs.
Thinking of it as 'I' or 'you' is misleading. That's kinda what I'm trying to say in my post: it's more like these are all third-person roles. If you think of 'boku' as more like 'this boy' than 'I' or 'me' it becomes easier to understand I think.
The engineer is part of a larger system though, and imo it's the fault of the system if a mistake from a single junior engineer can cause deaths.

Is it also possible that positivity is physically harder to achieve / less likely to manifest for patients whose systems are compromised in such a way that they can't overcome the infection? We are brain-body systems after all, so to me the causality seems hard to untangle.
There's a fundamental mistake in this article.

I quote: "But the “phone book” mental model might make you think that if you make a DNS query for google.com, you’ll always get the same result. And that’s not true at all!"

Phone books are not a static model either. If you were to look up "Walmart" in your local phone book, you're going to get a different set of phone numbers for the Walmart stores around you as compared to five states to the West or East of where you are. As such, the mental model really is apt.
The dark pattern we're discussing, though, is making it much harder to deny tracking than "consenting" to it, which is illegal in the EU.
Because it _is_ different. If you asked me to kill someone for 1 Mil. $, I wouldn't do it. If you asked me to drive 20km/h faster than the legal limit for 10K $, I wouldn't even blink, it's a easy choice.

Now, how severe is this? You're not a lawyer, you can bring it up, and the company lawyers (that are paid maybe more than you are) say they reviewed the spec and it's legal. What standing do you have, as a developer, to say "no it's not legal, I won't do it!". Do you really know better than the lawyers?

[edit]

> If you were asked to kill someone, clearly you wouldn't say "what are you supposed to do anyway" and go off to find a murder weapon since the answer there is rather obvious.

What if you were a soldier? Or a drone pilot? Is the answer still obvious?
How did you find this website?
Socialism and scarcity go hand in hand no matter the intentions. It has happened, and it still happens partially.

A centralized economy is not flexible enough to supply the changing demand or to readjust.

The big leap forward was created, for example, to overtake England (I recall, correct me if I am wrong) in Steel production. In practice what happened is that people run desperate for their lives and died of hunger. Because they did not have the means to do it.

There are way more examples, being this one maybe the biggest disaster, but in essence there is an impossibility to calculate prices and gather information of good quality in a socialist system.
IPFS only weakly matters here. If the party hosting the NFT image goes away, chances are high they were the only ones 'pinning' (hosting) it. Unless the internet archive / archive team gets in on this, that content, save for the most popular (most viewed) is just as likely to disappear.
Those examples are the opposite of an increasing probability of "acquiring" eccentricities-- they are examples of expressing or masking behaviors.

And that's not a truism-- people of all ages make the mistake of coupling the potential expression of some behavior X with an entire group of behaviors they are afraid they will catch like "cooties." Then they decide not to publicly express behavior X for fear of that.

Perhaps that's not what OP meant by "acquiring," but there's a high probability some HN'er read it that way. Hence, my comment here.
This release means we are getting closer to prod usage but Nx requires one of the existing compilers/backends to shine. So I am hoping we will see production uses once we officially release Torchx/EXLA packages too.

Curiously, I had two ideas for the name Livebook:

1. An interactive book to teach LiveView. LiveView is a new approach for developing web apps and I thought it could be worth exploring different non-traditional ways of teaching it too!

2. Livebook as code notebooks (what we got!)

It just feels a great fit for the platform, considering Phoenix, LiveView, Distributed Erlang, etc. So why not? :) And I am curious to see if and how we can contribute new ideas to the already extensive ecosystem of code notebooks!
This is pretty much why we need philosophy (include religion in there if you like) - as they say, science shows us the world as it is, but philosophy lets us imagine the world as we should like it to be - so that technology can help us get there.
Though I'm not supporter of Russian government, and I don't like current suppression of uprisings, it's Kazakhstan government that asked CSTO contries [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_Security_Treaty_Org...] to send troopers, not a Russian initiative as one might imagine from the title.
It's pretty telling that several western leaning nations/political groups in Asia have been defeated by non-Western adversaries.

We've now seen this in Armenia, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Kazakhstan.

I think the geopolitical message is pretty clear - EU/US will not protect you. Alliances with them cost little, but have little protective value. Russia/Iran/China/Turkey might force you to pay a higher price for their protection, but at the end of the day, they will actually protect you.
Not sure if it's me, but I feel like Stack Overflow has also started going mad with cookie acceptance requests lately with the default option is set to accept all cookies. It's fucking annoying.

Oh that’s clever. Thanks for that tip.
Your observation is not at all new. A famous quote from some doctor over a century ago, "Sometimes it's more important who has the disease than what disease the patient has."
--comment about the comment:
in the US the only software eng I've ever worked with was a postdoc from Taiwan working at Stanford;
everything else software-related in the States has been software development, which is basically how I read your comment and totally agree with;
my German NLP PhD friend would review papers in the States and regularly say (when she said anything about it) they were really bad;
it's fairly easy to look at major US based projects (led by software staff at Google) and see major flaws in overall approach which I see as quite anti-engineering and science;
for me personally and professionally its been super frustrating in various ways, when practicing the art and craft;
a former manager commented a couple years ago that software eng is several decades behind all the engineering professions;
hopefully this sheds light and substantiates your points and comment in some useful way because it's difficult to see things the way they really are in this field and practice

My thought is some airlines just so it automatically. Helps when your industry needs a bailout.
Thanks for the detail. That indeed sounds like a horrible environment. There seems to be a great irony in that the company makes so much of their "leadership principles." and that's the environment it has produced. My understanding is that the leadership principles thing is an extensive part of the interview process.
The government lifted price controls on liquefied petroleum gas on January 1st. I assume LPG is used for home heating, hot water, cooking, etc. Prices supposedly doubled overnight.

Edit: Apparently most cars use LPG there as well.
Just because someone managed to come up with a worse alternative doesn't make Java good. The main problems, initial JIT time and fixed heap size still remain.
Aren't most people from Kazakhstan pretty anti Russia?

Wouldn't this be more like Taiwan asking China to send in the army to help with a protest?

Or Iraq asking Iran?
I would say that most kids need classmates more than anything else, school is (IMHO) a lot about doing other things besides listening to lessons/teachers.

If this is a Node.js program you should store private variables in a .env file (with .env added to your .gitignore) then call process.env.[variable name here] to get the key at runtime.

Look up documentation and examples on .env files.

If you deploy to a service such as Vercel or AWS you can set environment variables there for production.

I was excited about the kickstarter because while a recovering alcoholic can completely stop using alcohol, a food addict always has to eat a little. Something bland, and quick I didn't think about was a plus. But afyer the Kickstarter they replaced the fish oil with polyunsaturated vegetable oil in powder form and dropped the rice protein content for more carbs. My triglycerides shot through the roof after the first few months of that recipe.

In that sense, I really wonder what will be there in 50 or 100 years, and that we are now completely unable to predict.
Then we'll have a nice discussion about whether it is or not (or we ask the legal team). If it's legal then it's still up to me whether I find it okay, and then it's really my personal choice if I want to leave the company over this or if I want to try to get someone else to implement it or whatever. However, that wasn't really the point being discussed.

I was specifically talking about the scenario where you're asked to do something illegal and immoral, and its illegality is not disputed by the boss or legal team or something.
I completely agree. Making options that the site doesn't want take longer is unacceptable.
Even without subtraction defined, N is useful. Partial subtraction on N, as it is, is also useful. When I'm dealing with counts I pretty explicitly either want truncated subtraction or warnings when I overflow.

Perhaps the biggest issue all together is just that many languages will let you do 3u - 4u instead of outright making the syntax more obviously annoying to force you to think about the caveats and pick between {truncated, throwing, overflow} variants.
Ah, I remember that convention from my youthful electronics-hobby days!

I always assumed that the idea was to reduce the risk of misreading due to overlooking the decimal point (or interpreting a random speck of dirt/ink/whatever as a spurious decimal point), particularly in potentially-untidy hand-drawn schematics.

But maybe I'm inventing that explanation out of nothing at all... I don't have any supporting evidence, it just seemed plausible to me.

There are dozens of endemic upper respiratory viruses, including four other coronaviruses. It's probably to our long term advantage to get infected with as many of those as possible when we're young and healthy. While the symptoms may be unpleasant and inconvenient, the resulting cellular immunity gives us some protection when we're old and frail. Short term costs versus long term benefits.
