I've got an old Macbook Air that has to be used with a USB sound device because the internal hardware died at about 4 years but wasn't worth replacing the motherboard. In other cases, I'm sure professional (or even hobbyist) audio people use hardware other than the computer's built-in sound devices. How long do the makers of those keep updating the drivers when it's a 5 generation old product and their developers have moved on to newer projects? A driver they gave you for OS X 10.5 isn't going to do you any good today.

I think each person should learn what motivates them best, and the pros and cons of different motivational strategies.

Pre-burnout, dark motivation strategies such as stress and having a chip on my shoulder motivated me.

Now post-burnout, I still get stressed out easily, and a darker motivation strategy would probably lead me to collapsing from stress again. Gratitude, pride, self-compassion, and lovingkindness meditation motivate me better, without negative side effects. cf. Emotional Success — David DeSteno

All that clicking that link told Facebook is that you're a real person who reads their emails. It's like when you pick up the phone for a telemarketer, now they know they can continue bothering you because you're a real person and you answer your phone.
Lamy? I have a Safari and like it.
Sorry no, we just used various apps and reduced the lists they provided manually. Usually the lists local to my country are only a thousand or so names long, so it's fairly quick work. I think that might be a bit more tedious for the US from what I've seen. There was an Android app posted here a while ago [1] that is clean and has over 100k names, which is a bit steep. But it also allows you to filter by decade, which might help reduce the scope somewhat.

I mean really cold cache from the above user is at 5000ms that's pretty horrible. When I tried I got 2800ms. Take a look around it seems to be mostly from fetching static content which is a classic problem CDNs solve.
Is out outsized compared to their population or to their need? Why would Florida need more than any other state? New York actually has the most cases by a huge margin.
Are you planning to boycott the airlines or the airports? This waste was caused by airport policies; FTA:

>"The news has prompted the Belgian federal government to write to the European Commission, urging it to rethink the rules on securing slots.

Before the pandemic hit, the rule was that airlines must operate flights in at least 80% of their scheduled take-off and landing slots, or they risked losing them.

This was revised down to 50% after coronavirus broke out, but this still remains much higher than the actual number of flights needed to meet passenger demand."
Ah man, that must be a magical place. I spent months (on-and-off) trying to convince my company to do this and failed. I hope they figure it out, because while I worked around it for my needs, I can't imagine I'm the only person who used Docker Desktop at the company, and it genuinely worries me that while IT considers it unapproved software that it won't stop its usage.

You can't await inside of a function returning impl Future<Int>. (You can inside an async block inside one, but there you go with language-level support again.)

You need the collaboration with the compiler to make it all work well. And that means keywords and language-level infrastructure. We tried no sugar, and it was rough: http://aturon.github.io/tech/2018/04/24/async-borrowing/

Pretty much what gavanm said with his #1. The process is usually that I see some interesting article on a site like HN, then say "hmm, I'd like to read more by this person, but I will probably never remember the website address, so I'll just add it to Feedly."
This line of reasoning makes no sense at all.

Imagine a math professor would be required to be as fast in answering questions regarding times tables as a child in third class. I bet you wouldn't be able to hire almost any math professors any more because almost all of them would lack this skill!

Nobody would be of course so stupid to judge a math professor by asking them questions about the times table.

Well, but one, and only one, industry is bonkers enough to do exactly this.

I think a Kilo in Mexico is $5K, less in bulk Kilos. Selling on the street in US that Kilo stretches to $80k or so.

So I would imagine the cartels running the actual coca production sites that sell to the people selling for $5k… is probably $1k or so, $2.5k at the very most.

> In most cases at-will employment means the employer/manager can fire a person

For anyone who is a member of at least one protected class (which everyone who has any [or where this is possible, no] race, sex, ethnicity, religion, or national origin unambiguously is for each that apply, and there's some others that are less universal, and that's just under federal law) there is always a risk that that they will file a claim to have been dismissed for that reason, and under the civil preponderance of the evidence standard, if they have any substantial evidence indicating that might be the case the employer needs to overcome it with superior evidence that it is not.

And that is what a PIP is for, to provide the evidence trail supporting that alternative reason. They also serve as notice to people to get out before they are fired, which (unless bungled bad enough to support a constructive termination claim) also avoids wrongful termination liability, because the departure is voluntary. PIPs have nothing to do with performance improvement and everything to do with liability containment.

For actual performance problems that the employer wants to resolve, regular performance reviews and informal counseling that occurs before a PIP is the means to address it.
Same with port knocking. It has a practical purpose, but idiots will have it lull them into a false sense of security.

A digital company store run by Facebook is pretty terrifying to think about. It'll be like if AOL actually ran the entire internet.
Interestingly, it varies tremendously from device to device. I have an original FireTV box (the one about the size and shape of a CD/DVD drive) that's pretty snappy, although I don't think I've gotten an update on it in a while. I have a much newer FireTV stick which, in theory, should be much faster, but as you describe, it seems to take forever for it to retrieve its info from the AWS servers. It is running a newer version of the FireTV app, though, than the old FireTV. This makes me think that the different versions may well be making different API call into the AWS cloud, and that the older ones were necessarily more streamlined and efficient. That's just a guess though - I could be wrong...

My second-gen Echo Dot works solidly, but the Echo Show 8 is a bloody trainwreck, and whoever designed and managed that POS should just be taken out back and shot. The Show 8 refuses to keep its display off at night - blazing out and waking us up. It's so bad that we just unplug it before bedtime, now. (You can tell it "Display Off" and that will work, but only until it randomly decides to turn it back on, or until you speak to it again (say to change station/playlist for music on a sleep timer)- then you have to tell it to turn the damn display off again! We mostly use it for a voice-controlled radio or Prime music player, but it can't even do that half as well as the Dot - it drops streams, plays the wrong thing, etc.

In fact, the Echo Show 8, which I'd really love to love (or at least, like) was the last straw - I'm tired of getting burned for that much money for a poorly performing device, so I'm never again buying Amazon devices, and I'm cutting Amazon out of the home automation platform (and keeping Apple and Google out) in favor of devices and solutions that do not rely on the cloud in any way.

BTW, why can't Amazon make the music playing capabilities of the Fire and Echo devices know about one another? e.g., Why can't I play the same, sync'ed music on both Echoes and a FireTV simultaneously? And why does Alexa still act like a really stupid AI, when people have been asking reasonable questions that it should pick up on for years now? Frustrating as hell...
The story makes you wonder how the police knew the drugs were on the ship. There is an interesting story there.
Amazing how much onus people give the media. Conveniently absolves individuals of any responsibility of their wrong doing.
> it was rushed in the current form

Are you the one withoutboats always chimes in here to correct by pointing out that there was actually tons of discussion and alternative designs evaluated? I seem to remember the last time rust async was discussed here the people who actually worked on the feature being pretty peeved by people claiming this.

I did, I just don't see how that contradicts what I said. The motivations of large groups are generally more complex than some singular reason, and a group can care about bad things that their enemies do even if they themselves do bad things
You mean the Facebook that paid $4.9 Billion to protect their CEO from government scrutiny? The facebook that stated multiple times to multiple regulators that they would not use whatsapp user data for ad serving purposes.... and then they did it anyway?

Pardon my skepticism if your only source of truth is "Facebook told regulators".
So let’s say you run an e-commerce site. Someone adds a bunch of stuff to their cart. You want to remember this so that when they come back their cart is still filled in. Is that a “phantom account”?
I needed to read this. I grew up on dark motivation and physically cringed at the idea of being motivated by happiness and positivity (I was quite an edgy teenager as I'm sure you can guess!)

Now in my late 20's, the pandemic plus all the years of accumulated negative energy seem to have broken the camel's back. I burned out hard over the last two years and I've had trouble picking up the pieces. But the motivational techniques you mentioned ring quite differently now than when I was younger and I think that's the path I'll want to pursue from here on out. Appreciate the thoughts.
Why are those exceptions?
Thanks for the link. I was wondering who tipped off the authorities, but this makes sense.
I don't know if cloudflare image will be cheaper than bunnycdn. We migrated from pro to enterprise cloudflare because the imaging api costs basically put us at the price where upgrading gave us a lot of added benefits and cheaper additional costs during our peak seasons.
Like most scummy companies, they bet that you don't have the funds / care enough to sue them.

For example EBay sent an email to me (IP/DMARK/DKIM verified) that they had received the payment and were holding it for 'security reasons' and my account would be penalised if not shipped on time. A week later they sent an email saying that they have suspended the buyer for fraud and that I should contact the shipping company to have the item returned (was already delivered at that time). When contacting them (after 50 bot replies) they just denied sending anything (and that their signatures were spoofed), removed any info of the auction from my account, said their TOS exempts them from any damages, and told me not to contact them again.

Not going through a drawn out lawsuit over $150 where my only proof is crypto signatures as all info on my account was wiped..
> airlines or the airports

If only they were the only choice! I would put the fault firmly in the hands of the bureaucrats or the politicians in the EU. This rule made sense pre-pandemic but it should have been adjusted for the current environment to something more like a right-of-first-refusal.
I don't buy a lot of baguette. We use it occasionally for cheese fondue or baguette pizza. So for me it probably goes into the "edible wrapper" category - a means to an end, but not something I enjoy on its own merits.

Seattle police faked radio chatter about Proud Boys during 2020 protests
I guess they simply don't have an incentive to do so - media companies immediately attack anything that "weakens" their tools, and their senators will act accordingly :-/
Things can be locally simple but have complex and chaotic implications. E.g. just by pushing the complexity up a level and dumping it on literally everyone else. I've learned over the years that complexity sometimes has a right place and a wrong place. (Most times complexity ends up everywhere, TBH.) I think resolving references between different parts of code in different compilation units is definitely within the purview of a compiler/build system, and should not be up to every programmer to flail at poorly with #ifdefs.
BMW Debuts its New Color-Changing E-Ink Paint
Whereas in the US necessary flights have been cancelled left and right. I had to take a series of flights in the past two weeks, and it was an absolute mess. By the third trip, I honestly had no expectation that my flight would take off on time, if at all.

That and getting a PCR test this week in the NYC area seems totally non-functional. Appointments have to be made days in advance, for results which can several days to come back. It's a far cry form Germany where I can get same day service at any number of testing centers, and pay to get expedited results if I need to.

How can these systems be so broken, and why isn't capitalism solving them?
> Facebook does not maintain "accounts" on non-users in a meaningful way and they have stated this multiple times to multiple regulators

And surely they'd never mislead anybody regarding what data they keep.

Which admittedly makes it a bit hard to explain how, despite having completely deleted my account several years ago (yes, not just deactivated, I went through all the little guilt-trip pleas not to delete), they managed to accidentally (a bug, presumably) send me a Friend Suggestion email several weeks ago (suggesting someone I actually do know, no less) considering that by their own words they should have wiped both that email address and the social graph associated with it several years earlier...

> your program may deadlock non-deterministically

This was always true, even prior to async. Rust's thread safety features have never prevented deadlocks. They prevent races, but not deadlocks. RAII makes some patterns that can cause deadlock more avoidable. Nothing in Rust prevents you from spawning a thread that locks a mutex and then never gives it up.
Okay, I don't wanna go into a fight over Lastpass because I don't know its tech deep enough to make a judgement (and HN reply limit would prevent it anyways). My point is, there are still some general differences between an online password manager and an offline password manager + file sync combination:

- There's no way a flaw in an authentication protocol could compromise a master password (because the file sync software is completely detached from the password manager).

- Someone who compromised your master password can't get your passwords without first obtaining your database files.

That being said, I don't think online password managers are inherently insecure or anything like that.
It happens to be a big bullet point in TFA, so it appears in discussions of TFA, duh.

A takeout is just the information you created and uploaded to Facebook, like your pictures, comments, statuses etc.

My needs are super minimal, one or two containers at a time at most. So I use Docker Engine + docker-machine (sets up a Linux VM in VirtualBox by default) + lazydocker (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker). I did add a function to my fish config to start Docker Engine if needed, load the environment info I need from docker-machine, and then run lazydocker.

Seems to work fine so far for me.

You're entitled to your opinion about someones work and that's fine, but I would hardly call her work repetitive, whining, or an appeal to insecurity. When people get "cancelled", she interviews them to get their side of the story (Winston Marshall). When someone writes what seems like pretty groundbreaking work using experience from years at the CIA, she interviews them (Martin Gurri - Revolt of the Public). When everyone ostracized the Central Park Karen, she interviewed a friend who had interviewed Amy Cooper while she was basically in hiding to get the other side of the story.

Feels like journalism to me.
> 5% - first year, 15% - second , then 5% each quarter, i think...

It's 5%, 15%, 40%, 40%.

In lieu of RSU's in Year 1, you get a big signing bonus.
Year 2, not quite as big signing bonus (hence the +10% RSU).
Year 3 and 4, nothing but RSU.

It adds up to the same amount every year assuming no stock growth.

Are you saying you just want double your salary for year 1 and 2 and are planning to quit before year 3 when it drops to nil? Yeah, who wouldn't?

I wouldn't want to be a shareholder of any company dumb enough to offer this.

Liz's boss, Charity Majors, has been friends with [name redacted] and Nat since she was 17 and [name redacted] was 15 through their "Hungry Programmers" organization.

Liz works with another friend of their staff engineers Chris Toshok, who interestingly enough was dating Charity when she was underage and he is 9 years her senior.

Charity and Chris are connected to a credit card hacker Max Visions, which is documented in the non-fiction book Kingpin by Kevin Poulsen https://www.kingpin.cc/about/

Charity told me to keep quiet about [name redacted] and Nat or bad things would happen to me and lied to me by saying she doesn't know [name redacted] when she clearly does.

Liz Fong-Jones uses the fact that she donated money to create the Solidarity Fund to decide who is a valid whistleblower or not.
