One thing I don't get: don't people need money? Is there a huge wave of poverty and homelessness rolling in after the Great Resignation?

I get IT workers may have earned so much that they will be OK for a while, but the article specifically mentions other jobs like food workers.

The key thing behind that is diffusion of responsibility: everyone knows that shit is broken beyond belief, but since there are so many different layers of responsibility, politicians (with whom the responsibility should rest!) often are successful in deflecting liability in a lot of different ways. The end result is that nothing changes.
Police abusing their power and attributions? What is the news? By now most of the people should be thinking about this things happening before supporting policies that can, and will, be abused and misused.
Now if we could just come up with an application of accessibility APIs that appeals to the average non-disabled user, maybe we could indirectly advance the state of accessibility as well.
Around ~2005 one of our products was featured in a Duracell commercial.

In 2011 manufacturing for all but the 9V was moved to Tunisia and the design of the battery was changed. In pre-2011 batteries the cylinder was the negative terminal. In the newer design the cylinder is the positive. Look at the bottom of the newer ones and you will see a very small O-Ring separating the positive from the negative. It is very easy to breach this O-Ring when inserting a battery, resulting in it getting hot. Well over 100'F has been measured. The new design WILL leak.

Because of our commercial connection we discussed this with Duracell. The end result was "We don't care". Today they are riding on the reputation of the past.

We then evaluated all the batteries on the market at that time. Technically the Energizers and the RayOVacs came out the same, with the RayOVacs being cheaper we switched to those. Shortly there after Energizer bought RayOVac. Look at the Fine Print on the package today and it says they are made by Energizer.

Has anyone noticed the scam that Home Depot and Walmart, and probably others, are running? C and D cells are the same price. The marketing campaign tells us this is a Good Thing, without explaining how. If the energy density is not the same, then the price should not be the same.
Is it just me or parcel is starting to lose focus and performance?

Back in the v1 days, things just worked without config and with v2, I need some config and even basic glob pattern to include all files in a directory is now a plugin and for some reason a parcel process takes 3GB of memory to compile a smallish project and I don't know how to fix it or pinpoint what the cause is.

Hang on, don't blame the agile manifesto here. Blame the management that adopted the agile manifesto as "do all the exact same things we used to do that didn't work, but call it 'agile'".
That user has pfSense, and they are doing it wrong. I would follow the config and guidance from the pfSense dev on this one: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/112631/nintendo-switch-needs...

The most common problem I have seen over and over is double NAT or CGNAT. For the home networks I manage (my parents, in-laws, and my own), I put the ISP modems in bridge mode or passthrough mode.

Yes, I've also noticed that the new brushless motor tools are often great!

And yes, using diesel to power your compressor on a regular (non-emergency) is more than a bit wasteful.

I totally get their insistence on staying off-grid, and it is good to read that they seem to be positive towards solar, so we can hope that takes over soon! From the bits I've read about their ethos, it certainly should have the advantage of further reduced dependency on outside systems, in this case, a one-off purchase of solar panels & kit will eliminate ongoing dependence on the entire fossil fuel supply chain.
Agree 1,000%. I much preferred Xevious as a fun and playable game. Zaxxon was just too dang hard!

I think intentionally writing shitty code is not a good advice, but it does help with taking us out of the rut of perfectionism and over-engineering stuff!

For me I try to follow two principles:

First, write boring code, and I mean boring, long variable names, no syntax sugar, no clever combination of boolean chains... code that I would use to teach a beginner in the language (or more aptly, future me) how to start coding!

The second is plan to write things twice. This one is a double-edged sword inasmuch as it can help to further clarify or make even more boring the code, or be the place to start adding "optimization" and "cleverness" in the code... I try to stick to the former.

Some of the most valuable code I've written I would call either "hacks" or "scripts", not code, but nonetheless, it solved a real problem instead of being beautiful/elegant or whatever
Ah sure, if it's not a stock kernel then yes you'd need to distribute the code for it (although there's no requirement for it to be able boot from any replacement kernel you provide)
Fathom's EU docs (https://usefathom.com/features/eu-isolation) seem to suggest that EU-hosted but US-owned cloud infrastructure isn't sufficient either though - you're exposing any data stored/transferred through there to access by the US government.

That means Posthog self-hosted on an AWS server in Frankfurt wouldn't avoid this issue.

What're the best options for non-US owned cloud providers? AFAICT Canada or many other countries with privacy laws would be fine, it's really the US specifically that's problematic.
It’s generally cheaper and easier to heat a home than it is to cool a home.

> This is probably a good time to endorse the work of the World Beyond War.

That's an interesting website. Take a look at this, it's literally the first link in the "News From the Antiwar Movement" section of their home page right now [1]:

https://worldbeyondwar.org/audio-david-swanson-on-russia-ukr...

> AUDIO: David Swanson on Russia, Ukraine, and War Madness

> By Sputnik, January 13, 2022

> John and Michelle catch up with David Swanson, executive director of World BEYOND War, to talk about the latest developments with NATO and conflict zones around the world. John points out that the direct link between EU membership and increased well-being for the population is questionable. Hungary joined the EU, and that isn’t what happened.

David Swanson is the Executive Director of World Beyond War [2], and that podcast is hosted by Sputnik [3], which is part of the foreign propaganda arm of Russia, which has 100k troops massing along the border of Ukraine and is threatening war [4] (after already invading part of it less than a decade ago).

So, is "World Beyond War" serving as a "human domain" weapon aimed at Western nations, in the service of war?

Ehh this chonker doesn’t look very surreptitious. I can only think of one other device that sticks out even further in front of the switch. Said device is a very old SFP+ to 10G 100m copper module with a huge heatsink and an external power brick!

That aside, I could imagine a gov’t agency programming these things and forcing ISPs to put them on customer ports. No need to wait for a maintenance window or free up rack space.
however then he has customers. And customer's demands can be annoying to deal with. Outcry from mere users who don't pay anything can be ignored.
Show HN: Beth's Lux Mix
It may be that what we are seeing is an increasing realization that the interests of the boss or managerial layer are at odds with the interests of the ground level worker. People are starting to stand up for their own interests, which if you are the boss, is troubling, hence a lot of pearl clutching about how "nobody wants to work anymore".

Writ large, I think people are also realizing that the interests of the CEO/political/ruling class are also wildly at odds with their own interests as well- although we seem to be very susceptible to being distracted by superficial culture wars bullshit and shiny things at the moment.

Im going to have to disagree based on personal experience at my huge ass fortune 50 megacoprp. They JUST started adopting agile...JUST, I kid you not many teams are still officialy waterfall, even officially agile teams are effectively waterfall. It's going to take another 5 years for anything to stop looking like waterfall. And let me tell you, as much as people hate agile, the old way is not working, it may even take the company down. Anyway having had no agile...OPs Post rings very very true in my ears. There is an obscene amount of tribal knowledge that needs to get aquired. Sometimes if you're lucky and in the right chat, there's a one-note that gets passed around. We just started getting wikis.. and now they're transitioning to a different vendor. So some high profile teams working on safety critical teams have docs on both...but they aren't the same and both are woefully out of date, also you need manger approval to get access to either of them.
This post really strikes me as ignorant. Most of the developers stay around 2 years in a company, because the companies usually do not make market price adjustments to the salaries and you start to lag behind if you stay too long.

For example, after 2.5 years, I am looking for a new job, as the company is simply refusing to make adjustments based on the market prices, even after a promotion, I am making 20 percent less than I should be making right now, and this is not an isolated incident.

Staying at a company for 10 years either means that the company is the perfect place (then, why are you trying to leave?), or you just acquired tons of skills in your job that are not transferable to your next job, which both do not look good. Especially, when the job market is so hot right now, it's either that you can not find a new job after withering your skills, or something unpleasant happened in your perfect company and you are looking your way out.
Nice, but AFAIU you only shift the charging time, you don't discharge car batteries to balance the grid, right?

The day I realized that is the day I stopped using MySQL. It was a very long time ago, I was burned by this exact issue. I don't know what's more fundamental to a database than storing the data you ask it to. If it's storing something else, then it failed at its job spectacularly. At the time I experienced this bug I think it didn't even give a warning, but I think that's actually worse with one : it knows it's storing incorrect data but does so anyways.

And it still has not been fixed after all those years. I don't know what use is a character encoding that partially supports Unicode (you just have to try to find out in what way) and is used by nobody else. I don't really care that at some point in the future utf8 is going to become an alias to utf8mb4, a DB capable of this behaviour cannot be trusted, and it allowed me to discover postgres which seems superior in just about every way, so I don't need to go back.

What's wrong with it is that it got politicized and became a tribe-identifying document early on. Also, in practice many of the ideas aren't completely terrible, but aren't very practical, and most important, go against the grain in US public health care, and likely would have been extremely unpopular during the original few waves of infection.

I encourage you to read up on the whole history of Barrington, and what Leavitt, Ionnides and Battacharya were saying early on the epidemic.
Well, with data residing in the USA, US three-letter agencies can just ask the data operators to give them the data. I'm sure the same is true of French three-letter agencies for data residing in France, or possibly even the whole EU.

BUT, it's much harder to US three-letter agencies to obtain access to data residing in France, or the other way around - that would require hacking, and that carries a much higher degree of difficulty and risk (not that I would ever imagine it doesn't still happen).
Covid-19 does not match the characteristics that the CCP are stating they wish to develop [1] in regards to targeted biological weapons. The closest I could see to calling covid-19 a targeted weapon would be against people that are already sick have comorbidity. Otherwise at best it disrupts every economy to some degree. It has done a good job of dividing people, creating distrust, angst and anxiety but I would argue that impacted China as well. I could however see a disgruntled lab tech that is angry at the world releasing it. People throw their lives away for far less impact all the time think mass shootings. For a government to use this type of virus as a weapon would require first inoculating all of the people they value against it.

Professional investors who look at the sharpe ratio (return compared to standard deviation), can see that its performance is far better than any other asset in the world.

Generally in modern portfolio theory you can just decrease the asset in the portfolio if the volatility is too big for you (for example to just 2% of the portfolio).

I'm 100% in, but for other people I generally suggest it to be 5% of their portfolio.
Homes in that area are about 10x that salary - so no. Reasonable ends at 3-4x your salary. I would be surprised if you could get a loan if you're taking a mortgage out that is 8x+ your salary... but maybe you can in France? Not in the US!

> lunchroom chatter was one of the simple pleasures that made a daily commute bearable for me.

When I was at Microsoft, pre-COVID, my daily commute was no big deal. But having lunch every day with other nerds was definitely one thing I enjoyed about the office environment. So when the pandemic started, we immediately lost that, and that's definitely one reason why I left several months later.
It depends but it is not uncommon in certain fields (only computer adjacent fields are growing like this in the US). At lower levels for high performing individuals in FAANG adjacent areas it is very doable. Having spent a good portion of my twenties massively underpaid it was pretty easy to double pay a few times over but it helps to start 50% below the median. Moreover a company will not give you pay increases while you work there that are commensurate with the market rate. A job swap is the primary way to realize the benefits of personal growth and a rapidly ballooning market.

Yes, there's no requirement for the sfp to boot any specific kernel, thus no requirement

"to update the Linux kernel/etc"

If they aren't using a stock kernel with drivers already in the kernel, then clearly they have to distribute that code (which might just be a shim like with nvidea), but not boot from it -- it's not GPL3

And now there are movements to eliminate SATs or similar standardized tests, allowing more unqualified students to enter college.

Enrollment might also be down because of COVID. For many, I think, college is more about getting away from home and living in a fun-filled alternate world for a few years with dorm rooms, frat parties, etc. With remote classes and restrictions, why bother?

(I'm imagining here -- I commuted to a local 4-year college on a public bus while also working. Then got my Master's degree in the evening while working full-time, in the early 80s.)
Hi HN, I'm the OP.

This really started from the compilation album that is the site's namesake. I was so emotionally excited about digitally recreating that album that I thought about building a website and maybe finding out who Beth was after all these years. Then I thought it would be more fun if other people could share the playlists and compilation albums that they have stories about. It turned into a fun weekend project and I'm happy to share the music and the site with all of you!

I think all the big ones can comply, but gambled they would be able to come up with creative constructs to get around the requirements. Wrong play it would seem.

More nuclear power. Also, carbon.. I dunno exactly, but I feel confident that if you take a bunch of it and apply enough pressure, you get coal.. If you press harder it might even be useful for something besides burning and making a mess.. At least the density of diamond is higher than co2, I don't know how much room 34.81 billion metric tons of diamond takes up, but, maybe if we used if for buildings, bridges, pavement it'd not be too much of a hassle, I mean, we're using 4.4 billion tons of cement per year, so that'd leave us with only 30.81 billion tons of unused diamond.. but not having to produce the cement in the first place would offset it a bit.
Yes, but how often do people do this? How many people can even read the JSON files you get from most companies?
It comes from representing your system dynamics as a set of linear equations in your state variables (which might be position, velocity, etc). The A matrix is the linear map from the previous state at time t to the next state at time t+1. The B matrix is similar, except it determines the impact of your control input u on the next state of the system.

This way of learning is not taught often enough, we learn it in school when learning another language (e.g. repeating words over and over). But in sciences and engineering the repeated reading of the material is not usually encouraged or talked about.

It would be interesting to see what the material was, it's not linked, but it must have been really detailed.
Seems silly to force you to declare it when the compiler and static analysis could easily find it in the method body automatically.

Exceptions aren't supposed to be valid output, so declaring them in a method signature is just a messy way of creating typed errors. I prefer the Go way (a Maybe object) better.
