I still use my T420s as my daily driver laptop. I'd like to get something with a better screen and faster CPU but it's still reliable so it's hard to justify.

What batteries have you had good luck with? My main and ultrabay batteries are both down to around 50% of original new capacity now.
IP reputation is a different thing. I assume that this is why ESPs tend to drop mail from self-hosters. Low/no reputation or domestic IP often signal malicious activity, so the big ESPs act accordingly. The later reasoning comes from the fact that a vanishingly small amount of email comes from domestic IP addresses, and the stuff that does is often malicious.

NB - I work for a large messaging security company.

It looks like this is basically a serial benchmark, so yeah of course the higher raw clock speed will win out. The run is also less than a minute, so most laptops will happily burst for that long, however what happens if you throw a 5/10/15 minute compile at it?

> Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

> No, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does not generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts.

If your workload is compiling a single file serially, then sure this might be a great upgrade for you. I went through the copmpile benchmarks and the only other one that has an M1 mac and a 3970x on that site is build2 [0] which shows the m1 is 4x faster on a build that scales well with cores. FFMpeg [1] doesn't list the M1 in the test table, but it does have one benhmark [2] which is again quicker with the threadripper.

You could compare it to countries like new zealand who are very highly vaccinated, but which have had essentially zero covid cases over the past 2 years, and which you see no change in death rates from previous years. It is quite clearly not the vaccine.

Not OP, but presumably company C which desires to buy a licence to A will have to ensure they can provide their own B equivalent, or reach out to the author and ask them to enter the collective / enter into a private licencing agreement with them.

Not saying it's not a pain, but it's not prohibitive.

That _would_ mean, however, that this kind of dependencies should be explicit to C at the point of purchase on the Collective's website, so that an informed decision can be made to buy or not.
>In most situations, money is a zero-sum game. Any wealth you make is by taking it from others. That's not fair or desirable.

For a fixed money supply, money is zero-sum. Wealth is not. If more stuff is made, and you're envisioning a system where that money commands all the goods, then same money commands more goods. That is desirable. But regardless of money system, if you make more goods and services then there are more goods and services.
I've used a T420 as daily driver until just recently. It went travelling around the world with me, fell from rather high places, got wet more than once and much more.

My new 460s is mostly just better because it's lighter. Performance plus is only noticeable in games and such stuff.
Whereas the joke for English speakers learning German is that they really should be called hand-socks ;-)
Yeah, quick mass adoption of EVs combined with rapid tech logical development in a few other sectors has led me to get far more optimistic about our future.

Climate adaptation technologies will bridge whatever gaps are left by the destruction we have on the environment that happened before we decarbonize the economy.
I think that your calling it a "children's book" is even worse. I have depression and I sometimes feel paralyzed because even small chores like drinking water can be challenges. So having this flowchart actually helped me a little.

It won't cure the chronic depression, but at least today I managed to tidy up the house a little. It's not 0 or 100%.
My 2010 Mac Pro has 48 GB of RAM, this 2021 M1 Max has 32 GB. So not much has changed on that respect either. Except on 2010 I imagine it was struggle to get even 16 GB on a laptop.
It's totally getting abused.
Australian with pericarditis here. Both my cardiologist and GP told me they’ve seen a flood of patients (mostly 30-something men) and both told me separately that the published numbers are obviously wrong.

What I think is occurring, at least in the case of myo/pericarditis, is that nobody reports cases unless the outcome is really bad. GPs do not habitually report to the TGA, and most specialists don’t either. So the official numbers are really only those who went to hospital and it was bad enough that someone bothered to fill out the TGA form.

A near-future series (Halting State) was also cut short when the Scottish independence referendum (and the subsequent Brexit vote) rendered that future impossible.

That said, his Empire Games trilogy is set in a near future where the internal multiverse concept successfully allows for explicit discrepancies from our timeline.
Phones spend almost all of their time charging next to the owners wifi router which is always plugged in. It just makes no sense at all to use phones as mesh nodes.

I think is important to add that being able to control someone's focus is a skill that is necessary for everything in life. It's not just about work. It's the whole life - work, education, socialising, even recreation (travelling was a hell for me before stimulants, every minute trying to focus on not lose tickets, money, baggage)
Doesn't the language supports variadic functions?
That is a situation documented by people years ago, and has been wrong for years. See https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html. Unfortunately the legend lives on because "it doesn't work" is a better soundbite than "it works"
Dunno I consider myself a minimalist (my living room is basically a sofa, a coffee table, hifi and a beamer) and my coffee table is made of wood pallets found in the street.

Still I don't consider I am living in minimalism because I am not living alone and I leave alongside a ton of shit from my gf and kids. The living room is basically my only minimalist space in the appartment.
> Have you ever experienced the mental clarity of 12 or 24 hours of fasting?

Unfortunately I haven't although I fasted many times for more than 16 hours and only once 24 hours. I'm always lethargic, irritable and I cannot do anything other than thinking of food. I fasted 16 hours with most hours during the day, during the night, same result.
I already responded to your "admin in the middle" article here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29104983

I run my own XMPP server (Snikket) for my family, and I have no fear of the metadata it (I) can theoretically see if I run tcpdump. Snikket has a short retention period (7 days by default), and it uses end-to-end encryption for message contents and files.

It's much more important to me that I know where my data is - or rather, know where it isn't. I'd rather have that than be forced to entrust my metadata to a third party such as WhatsApp/Facebook, Telegram or Signal.

Disclaimer: I'm an XMPP developer (as I know you know, but others may not).
When I was a child in Yorkshire I used to hear pop all the time. My parents and grandparents would say it. Nowadays it seems to have faded in favour of soft/fizzy drinks, but my grandma still says "pop".

OP is using Docker + Make in a similar way to how I was a few years ago, before I started using Toast (https://github.com/stepchowfun/toast). Toast lets you define tasks like you would with Make (without all the hairy gotchas of Makefiles), but it runs them inside Docker containers for better portability/reproducibility.
XMPP leaks less metadata than alternative like Matrix, but it still very vulnerable to traffic correlation attacks from an external observer, server compromise and malicious server admin. Far from ideal.

Briar mitigates[1] these risks by using p2p messaging over Onion Services.

[1] mitigates: it's well known that even Tor cannot protect from correlation attack from a global observer but mounting such attack requires billions (see PRISM). Correlating traffic from/to an XMPP server is trivially easy for any person that has access to logs from a network device or can run a tcpdump on an hypervisor.

well maybe if you made $20/h in cash and the share price is $20 you get 1 share/h. You can sell it (so you dont need to keep the equity in perpetuity) but if you live off $15, that you can have $5 (plus/minus appreciation/depreciation &dividends) shares in 60y time is a feature not a bug. Or maybe you have some mechanism whereby people have to sell back their shares when they leave (like partners at professional service firms).

A classic economist would say that the 1st example proves that its the same as cash and thus nothing much should change, but behaviourally there is endowment bias etc. I wouldn't be surprised if paying people in savings/investments and then letting them liquidate would result in a much higher saving/investment rate than giving them cash and expecting them to invest.
>For what do we optimize actually? For the working class? For human lives?

I'm not 100% sure of the answer to this, and I don't think anyone is, but as a resident of Melbourne, AU (world's most locked down city!), I can categorically state that destroying the quality of life for an entire society just so that a small percentage of vulnerable people can prolong their life for a few years is absolutely not the answer.

It's not even a young vs. old thing at this stage. People aged 60+ (who were already lonely before) have suffered just the same as we have and I'm sure would have a very similar opinion to the rest of society.
One distinction: Reactive Hypoglycemia. Even with low GI carbs, it may still happen. Small meals or keto is the fix.

When it comes to health, things are rarely that simple. Even medical professionals have knowledge gaps, let alone someone who isn't one. I'd be careful to make assumptions.

Heck, many people assume the other person's a snowflake, when in fact their patience and pain tolerance may be miles above yours.

It's the same as reductionists advice on complex health issues where you advice someone to try X based on your 5-mins reading material, when surely someone suffering for years have tried all of that in thousands of hours of searching for the magic fix.
Ask HN: How do keep focus at work with big events coming in your private life?
I'll be moving to a new country in two months time and I find it hard to focus on anything that's not related to that. I find myself always thinking about the moving process, figuring out big and small things instead of focusing on the work piling up in my backlog.

How do you deal with staying focused on your work while having big events coming up in your private life?
Oh boy. Have you tried walking barefoot on snow? Or on a rocky path that has been in the summer sun for the past 6 hours? On gravel? In an area with thorny bushes?
You mention IP address, location based on IP addresses, timestamps, bytes transmitted and number of packets as metadata which is disclosed to the server admin. What alternative messenger do you suggest which does not disclose this metadata to the server operator?

A lot of nonsense is being aired by a lot of people when they open their mouths. Even more so when they keep it closed and instead type messages to the internet on a keyboard. Until I see a proper study on that “hypothesis”, I would treat it the same as the hypothesis that the vaccines make you magnetic or turn you into a 5G modem (at least that might help with the current chip shortage)
Isn't grapheneOS run by that crazy dev who complains literally every day that people are out to get him?
PostgreSQL used to have two different APIs for internal/C language SQL functions, with the older one implemented in more or less this manner, but with distinct types for each argument count. The actual function call was then implemented as giant switch on number of arguments which called function pointer with progressively more Datum-typed arguments.

It got deprecated sometime around 8.0 and today it is not even supported (the giant switch got replaced by error message).
For what it's worth, I didn't read thefourthchime's comment in a way that would suggest that software engineers are making 100x a living wage. The way I understood it, they meant that the total cost of all engineer hours spent on rectifying the problems caused by the 'colors' and 'faker' issue would easily cover 100 living wages.
I've taken another angle at this problem. Instead of collectives we can just define a protocol.

A protocol would mean that developers could retain more control. And it would stop the potential need to vet multiple "FOSS collectives".

Along with the protocol I'm building a payment portal to facilitate making payments. Check out my work here:

The corner cutting seems to have started the moment IBM sold ThinkPad to Lenovo. The fact that ThinkPad used to sell laptop keyboards for desktop use, says it all:

It didn't take more than a couple of years before Lenovo discontinued this gem either; in favor of a cheaper alternative (in terms of production cost).

> Well I’m taking a stand against the anecdote then

I am not generalising, just providing a single data point about my local health service which is very relevant to my treatment. Even if it an outlier or does not match your colleagues experiences it does not make it less true for me.

I recommend reading the top comment by walterbell. Not everything is an attack on medicine/science. While it's important to keep discussions honest/scientifically accurate, it's also important to show some empathy and realise not everything is a debate or attack.
> I like to buy ex-corporate ~5 year old Thinkpads, get from a seller who gives atleast 6 months warranty

I am curious if this a US thing only. I mean, I've heard of company vehicles in second hand market but never company laptops. In my experience all these company laptops get decommisioned by IT never to remove any data, but I never really considered what happens at End-of-life for those.

A few questions:

1. Where do you find these retailers?

2. Where do you find suppliers selling new batteries for old devices?

(all of my previous attempts at finding replacement batteries for laptops and e-readers always resulted in very poor performance or even faulty battery packs)

edit: formating paragraphs for questions
Here's a few guesses, please correct me if I'm wrong about these!

The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer.

I know--but that kind of one-sidedness is the same thing that we are accusing Upwork of doing, by making it just the freelancer's problem.

I'm not defending them, and I don't know the facts, I'm just saying we should maintain a wholistic perspective about this--it makes our moral stance more credible. And it's better--it makes us better people. Because it's not just like, "well it's good for me, screw you" -- it's: "well it's the right thing to do." I think we need ethics to guide use, as well. In business especially. Even in the small ways that many of us are in business as contractors, we still need ethics.

Plus it's gonna lead to better karma for us, and better outcomes. If you protect yourself, tough but fair, know you did everything right, but still stood for your own interests, but didn't miss the chance to try to find a win-win: I think that's the way to go.
>In NL, you pay ~€110/month annually, with a max out-of-pocket cost of €385 per year. So, maximum €1600 cost annually.

My provider, CZ, charges ~€150/month with max-out-of-pocket ~€385. If you get the full ~€850 out of pocket then your monthly payment drops to ~€110/month.
One one hand, given human nature and evidence thus far, I would agree with your worry.

On the other hand, the music thing is a mess partly because of ambiguity of what constitutes use (e.g. is a coffee shop video infringing because a piece of music was heard in the background?)

I would hope that things are not as ambiguous with code libraries. They are either used or they are not.

Having said that I can see shit hitting the fan with arguing over what constitutes a fork vs derivative work etc.
Was about to write the same. I've lived in the UK 21 years and I can't recall ever having heard "pop" other than from Americans.

An entirely unscientific search on some sites (Deliveroo, Ocado etc.) shows "pop" either not returning any drinks (Deliveroo near me) or returning pretty much the same as "soda", with Ocado returning the "fizzy drinks" category for both searches.

This is impossible and this stance comes from a complete misunderstanding about how vaccine studies work.

> Also, I'd like to add memory constraints as an example of workload inequality: The M10 max only seems to support 64GB

That's a really good point. In my last job, our machines had 256GB of memory to fully utilise the 3990x cores.

> desktops also compromise high end platforms like your sTRX4, and those are a little bit different.

They're a little bit different, but they're still mainstream, readily available desktop envioronments. You can go on Scan here in the UK and order one of those systems just like you can order any other intel or AMD system.
I work in tech and have been on keto for the last 5 months. Mental energy and clarity are definitely up for me, and I lost 30 lbs.

I struggled a bit about a month ago to keep up. My wife and I started using the diet doctor app (not affiliated) to cook more
satisfying and diverse keto dinners than before, and we’ve been going pretty strong with it. Drawback is that we spend more money on food and more time on cooking (but we do it together to make it fun).
The minus sign excludes a term, for example "-Dell laptop" would result laptops where "Dell" isn't in the results.

By searching "-1 1" you're searching for the term "1"and then excluding all results with the term" 1".
In the US a lot of people seem to think they will die if don't constantly eat something. I have had quite a few discussions with people who wanted to lose weight. They had huge resistance when I told them to cut out the snacks and eat only three (or two) times a day : "this is not healthy"
Laughter is remarkable because, like clapping, it's contagious, and it shares joy and happiness with a whole community.

In the process of laughing together, our bodies move in time, which synchronises our muscle movements, which synchronises our heartbeats.

> the value propositions of 2021/2022 hardware doesn't look better

I'm glad you managed to distill my feelings so clearly.

Most new things are just gimmicks, it's pretty rare that good innovations come into the laptop area.

Think of stuff like non-16:9 displays: older thinkpads had beautiful displays that were amazing for doing actual work. Now we're seeing 16:10 displays coming back, and it's awesome.

The ThinkPad T42 I had in high school had a 14" 1400x1050 display and writing documents was very comfortable. Then a dark age came, and all laptops had 16:9 displays... Editing a document in Word/Writer was a pain in the ass. Between the title bar, the windows icon bar (start menu and iconized applications) and the various office toolbars (and the f-ing ribbon toolbar) you could barely see the text you're writing. It was really moronic.
> The problem with that is “the science” is controlled by commercial interests and profit margins.

Is it? A good proportion of academia is funded by states, non-profits, and tuition from undergraduate students, and researchers generally operate with a great degree of autonomy. Of course there is corrupt research out there, but I see little evidence that it's pervasive.

How does his KUTrace Linux kernel patches differ from the existing tracing infrastructure? This talk [1] seems to suggest that the reason his KUTrace is so fast is because the other tracers collect more information.

How does the tracing capabilities here compared to what the Windows WPA subsystem can offer? Does it have less overhead for collecting such traces?

Sampling profilers like Superluminal claims to be able to recognize very small delays. For how many cases do you need something like KUTrace and when is Superluminal enough?
