I'm not saying it has to be particularly constructive. But you can describe how a policy is terrible without your comment becoming a personal combative mess.

Something like:

Yeah, users comprise the web, and Chrome doesn't listen to them. See the alert fiasco, among others. [side note: probably elaborate here, I don't know what alerts you're talking about even after a search]

The Chrome team created a "standards" documents for WebHID that was so bad that Mozilla engineers couldn't even understand it, and still went ahead with shipping.

Others "standards" have had serious issues pointed out, with other browsers refusing to implement them, and Chrome keeps shipping them by default.

Users and proper standards haven't mattered at any point.

I've been on the edge of buying Starlink, but am currently waiting on a few other things to pan out:

* I often have to drive through rural roads with my family. Cell service is limited/spotty here. Starlink would allow me to work on the road (and have an emergency backup).

* My wife and I have been eyeing the possibility of purchasing a small plot of land to "get away to" occasionally. Starlink would enable me to work from that plot of land.
While this doesn't detract from your argument given the timelines; if you're on Arch, try again. I believe it was yesterday that the one major Qt fix that made Wayland KDE usable on Nvidia landed.

Apparently Sway too has worked fine since the release of Nvidia drivers with GBM support. I'm on AMD right now so can't confirm.
They had a rocket they needed to test (Falcon Heavy) and that requires a test payload. Usually test payloads are boring mass analogs. Instead they decided to use something different and get a bunch of marketing out of it. Everything had to be approved by the appropriate government agencies well ahead of time. So where does the "spite" come from?
Um, way to be incredibly classist. "If you can't afford to support someone else, why are you treating yourself to a luxury of any kind?"

Everyone needs luxuries sometimes. The solution to tipped employees not getting enough money is not to bully people who can't comfortably afford higher tips out of going out; it's to a) encourage unionization, b) eliminate the separate "tipped minimum wage", and c) raise the minimum wage in general. Or, y'know, implement UBI.

The whole article can basically be cut down to that sentence.

looks at advertising How much art wasn't complicit in the first place?

"What is art?" aside, look at for example how much of "the art world" exists to support the business of people making say paints and canvases and etc as it does to enable people to express themselves.

People are going to express themselves, anyway. "Art" is a scam where we tell folks "express yourself in this way and with my expensive supplies and you will be heard, you will be valued, and you will be rewarded!" ... But most paintings are done solely for the joy of the artists and could have been daubed onto a plank as effectively as a commercially prepared mass production canvas.
> How do you achieve super cheap products made by people making super high pay? Money doesn’t just materialize out of thin air to make that work.

The marginal cost of another sale approaches zero. So if you make a popular enough product, you can sell many units rather than relying on rent seeking from your existing user base by forcing them into a SaaS subscription. Yes, the onus is now on the company to make good products that people want, and to continue to innovate such that people want to pay for the next upgrade. It’s easier to rent seek.
Really enjoying watching Fly develop. Not sure if I have read the strategy right, but my read is that they are going for an edge 'OS' which is compatible with the way software is already built for the centralised deployment model, where other players are going with a strategy of inventing a new 'OS' and saying, pretty much, 'all this edge goodness is available, but you have to rewrite your software to run on our OS first'.

I'm so glad to be seeing someone do this, because for a while it was looking like nobody would - and as long as nobody is doing it, nobody would have to.

Now with Fly increasing in popularity, you have to expect that others, Cloudflare in particular, must be seriously looking at integrating more 'centralised deployment' tools like postgres into their edge platform too (if, to be fair, they didn't already have this on their roadmap), providing more options and competition.
The amount of calls that come to the helpdesks around the world, that are caused by people not knowing anything about Word/Excel is astounding.

In the old days of office applications you needed to know all the keystrokes and macros and control codes. Remember the keyboard overlays you could buy for each word processor/spreadsheet? You basically had to be an expert to be proficient.

Then they went and dumbed it down, adding menus, buttons, giving everyone mice, the power of WYSIWYG. Now every idiot in the office could print out a mispelled sign about keeping the counters clean in 48 point comic sans, print it in landscape and tape it to the microwave.

Microsoft continues to screw stuff up by adding things like 'Reading Mode'. I've seen office staff brought to tears when a document is automatically opened in reading mode by a middle manager who thinks that matches the print layout, and lays into them about how it looks.

These days you unknowingly launch a document in Word for the web and it's in read-only mode because of Sharepoint permissions that aren't clear, so you can't toggle the checkboxes and it takes 3 co-workers to figure out what went wrong.

> but haven't ever had a price change

In fairness, I've never had a price change from Hetzner either in the years I've had service there.¹

If power prices keep increasing as they have everywhere in Europe², no doubt other providers will be forced to adjust some of their pricing too. Hetzner is not the first. Many of those auction boxes are older machines that will be relatively power hungry which I'm sure makes a difference too, if you look at what is available not only have they changed some prices but some really old units that used to float around the list have gone completely³.

I can't find the info your referring to in your links. The walkways and bikelanes _are_ prioritized (at least over common roads). This is done with a model based on different criterias for different types of roads. The biggest roads (trafikled) are prioritized with the least amount of snow - if enough snow
(cm) gathers (over the criteria in the table below) they are forced to clear it. Then the walkways (trottoar/gångbana) and bikelanes (cykelbana). Then the regular streets/smaller roads (vägar/gator).

The trafikled can probably most similarly be described as a highway, even though we drive on them in the city as well (in lower speed)

With the amount of cars that naturally clear the snow on these highways, it also makes it even more common that in practice the walkways gets prioritized first, as in the article states happened last year.

Trafikleder:
Blötsnö/modd 1 cm
Lös snö 2 cm

Trottoarer, gång- och cykelbanor:
Blötsnö/modd 1-1,5 cm
Lös snö 2-3 cm

Vägar/gator (körbana):
Blötsnö/modd 2-2,5 cm
Lös snö 4-5 cm

The safe subset of Rust does not permit any UB. This greatly simplifies understanding of UB in the majority of the codebase — because there isn't any. Only when there's an `unsafe` keyword in Rust, you put your "C" hat on.

(it was and continues to be a challenge to uphold this guarantee, because UB in LLVM is so ubiquitous, e.g. Rust had to patch up float to int conversions and eliminate no-op loops)

This Syed guy seems like a real piece of work. Read the end of the article. I wish it was unbelievable. Sadly, following the standard entrepreneurial grift formula: 1. Take the money. 2. Fake the work. 3. Scale to the point where you can’t even fake the work. 4. When you’re accused of wrongdoing, deny. 5. When there’s evidence, double-deny. 6. When you’re under investigation, circle the wagons and say “we take X seriously and are committed to blah blah blah”. 7. Get a slap on the wrist. 8. Parachute away with your $millions and start again with a new scam.

We started with generic Docker! The Phoenix focus has been very helpful, though. Docker apps are incredibly broad, other than "it's really easy to launch a container", it's hard to define why we're especially good at Docker containers.

With Phoenix, we can say: run your fullstack Phoenix app on Fly and your users get sub 40ms responses from LiveView. When responses are that fast, you can write less code and still build really dynamic applications. And we can give those devs a really nice launch experience: https://twitter.com/chris_mccord/status/1468998944009166849

We're getting to the point where we can expand this focus. The infrastructure works great for many types of apps. The launch UX could be good for every full stack framework with enough people.

It's very similar for sure, but it's worth nothing how this is different. WASM is much more accessible as it doesn't require additional downloads or tooling. It also supports a wider range of languages. I can take my Qt desktop application written in C++, run it through emscripten, and have it running in Firefox or Chrome in just a few minutes. Instead of having to build and release binaries for Linux, Windows, Mac, and Android, I can make a single WASM build, host it on my website, and run it anywhere. It's honestly incredible
CBD may have the added benefit of helping to ease the stress of your situation.

Personally, I don't enjoy the feelings of THC, but CBD seems to work more like medicine in my case. It calms me down and I don't feel impaired. It's sort of like the feeling of l-theanine in green tea.

What do you have to lose by trying some? Anecdotally, I've found that "full spectrum" CBD works better.

It goes both ways.

Office is both an expectation on postings that don't actually know how to assess technical knowledge so the creator(s) of the postings just make up whatever is tough for them and also seems like it's a highly technical skill.

At the same time for fairly highly technical roles I see persons frequently adding not just Office as a skill but each of the office apps without further detail.

For me when a candidate for more high level roles advertises their office skills, I see it as a negative usually. It's not an immediate mark against, but I do end up with lower expectations on the tech I am interested in. If the role isnt oriented towards heavily doing office work, I'm not that interested in Office.

I have the same feeling about when someone lists Linux experience and mentioned Kali as their distro; unless they're a security specialist usually it means they played with Kali in a college crash course/intro network security course, and only know a few specific applications + flags to get some result for a network pen test.

Hiring is really hard because in general it's difficult to describe the domain that most jobs encompass unless it already had a narrow focus. Maybe it's not true anymore but I seem to recall if you ask 10 people what DevOps is you'll get 12 different answers, all of them disagreeing. This gets even worse for general tech roles that are basically low level system troubleshooting positions. It's hard for those doing the job to really summarize their day to day in a series of core tasks, and it's even harder for non-technical persons to even know what to ask the technical persons to build a proper posting.

I've only worked with one good Recruiter team and they are so good they convinced me that recruiters can be not just good, but excellent, and I'll defend any such blanket statements lumping all recruiters together. But it is a skill like any other, and it's not something you can do by passively writing buzzword copy on LinkedIn.

For me the article is a satire of modern hiring in general, whether highly technical or not. It's a response to an imagined dedicated question about proficiency in Word for a highly skilled position, and it's poking fun on why such a skill that should be a given now for modern professional business is given so much attention still. No one (should) be doing tons of design in Word for the business. It's fine for collaborative notepad with office365 and as a generic "okay" looking document, but just like I hope my candidates don't need help with stuff like putting their socks on or brushing their teeth, I expect they can punch out a relatively okay looking document in word and make a simple spreadsheet in excel and know that PowerPoint exists
Sure, 2% (1765MW) of France's production is coal at the moment.

It does not matter that plants are in maintenance, that is the normal state of complex systems like nuclear plants and a very desirable one. Sure, we could do better and close the last two coal factories to get 0% of coal modulo imports. That is still very different from 0% of nuclear. :)
>It is still a challenge, but I know i'm not the only high functioning cannabis user.

There are plenty of people that are highly functioning and regular smokers of pot that don't go through this level of ceremony about their usage, and I am somewhat skeptical this level of preparation is even particularly helpful in making someone a high functioning cannabis user in general.

Not saying it doesn't work for you, but this sort of story is something of a shibboleth on HN where someone claims that they do X process with Y substance or even just mental attitude and produce Z results.

The German plan could never work.
They installed a lot of solar which does not produce much energy in the winter.
They installed a lot of wind which does not help when there is cold, since then there is usually not much wind.
In audition they did not buy enough gas. Germans have been fooled by people who do not know how to use their calculators.

Or might this mono-culture simply be a side effect of the internet?
Much like how the Roman empire led to a linguistic "mono-culture", and how railways (and later airplanes) increased global homogeneity, it seems more likely to me that as humans are more and more in contact with their far away cousins, they all start to blend more.
For very early stage (2-5 people) companies, I understand. You're building the business together, will be making tons of moment-by-moment changes, and the working relationship is critical, so I understand. We took that approach initially at the startup where I work.

Once you start to grow significantly, though (series A or later) it's just become much to prohibitively difficult to hire significant numbers of great people if we limit ourselves to the teeny area around our office. This is especially true for some hires where we need specialized expertise.

Companies love to crow about diversity, and one of the primary reasons they give is that diversity is a natural consequence of searching high and low for all the best people. Imagine if you limited your hiring to only brunettes with green eyes. Limiting your company to a teeny geographic monoculture is no less absurd. This is why I think VCs should take a long hard critical look at any growing company that is not willing to expand their geographic diversity.
Sure, since the invention of the internet extreme poverty has gone from 30-40% of the world to probably around 5% and there's a very strong trend increase as internet became more available.

Freedom indexes showing things like research and expression exploded with the internet.

I'd suggest these things are _far_ more important for humanity than growing a countries GDP, which may or may not result in life improvements for the majority of its citizens.

I would also nit-pick and entirely reject that hygiene doubled our life expectancy. Worldwide LE went from 30 to 60 over the course of many decades and no single region saw a double in less than a few decades. So this can't be attributed to any single event, much less something as discrete as soap/hygiene.

>we want reasonably priced products we own after we buy

That has [effectively] never been the case

You don't "own" software once you buy it

You own a license to use it (with some level of constraints around how/when/where you use it)

Even if that license happens to let you use it as much as you want anywhere you want, that doesn't mean it will continue to work "forever"

So many people don't understand that digital products are nothing at all like physical ones (except that you pay for both) - you own a paper book (albeit with restrictions on what you can do with it (can't make infinite/excessive copies of parts or all of it, etc), you have a license to an ebook; you don't own a copy of Microsoft Office - you have purchased permission to use it on X-many devices running Y operating system(s)

Even if you "own" some copy of a public domain or freeware tool, it's still constrained by the system(s) it will run on

Reality is a lot more complex. Conservative parties rule the majority of german states. Over time they added more and more rules to local law, which implicitly prevented more renewable generation, especially from wind.

Also there have been a lot of astroturf groups spawning up over the years. From hard climate change denial, blackout FUD-spreader and false claims about health impacts. They feed a huge load of BS to the locals, as soon as a developer wants to create a new windpark.

I think Linux containers (LXC) are not only for applications, so that's why they are often called "system containers". They are also useful when one wants to 'just' emulate a whole OS without actually emulating a whole machine (VM).

For applications, I think Docker is the way to go.
