How is open access to information not a fundamental human right? Do you believe in a society where people can't find out about things? If you don't, then you believe in the open access of information.
Absolutely if you aren’t socializing offline after 2 years of the never ending pandemic then perhaps socializing isn’t a priority for you.
CDC Data Show Less Gain from Boosters for Those Under 65
It was all fun and games until I couldn't compile a go program using the Windows Linux subsystem, showing it's really just a toy. Too many compatibility issues (go check out their GitHub issues) means I don't want anything to do with it.
NVIDIA published LDAT[1] for click-to-photon latency measurements a while ago. The 'Intended' purpose was to measure input latency for gaming but it could probably be reused for measuring responsivity. This would implicitly also measure the hardware but that shouldn't matter when a constant hardware/driver combo is used.

> If consumers were sufficiently upset at the increased cost of apps on the Apple Store, wouldn't they change platforms?

Consumers are not aware of this problem. Apple doesn't allow apps to inform users about the 30% tax.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/28/21405140/apple-rejects-fa...

"Apple blocked Facebook from informing users that Apple would collect 30 percent of in-app purchases made through a planned new feature, Facebook tells Reuters. Apple said the update violated an App Store rule that doesn’t let developers show “irrelevant” information to users."
Unfortunately iOS and Android have incredible lock in in addition to more than a decade head start. Just like Oracle is able to continue making $40 billion a year even though their product is ass.

> I'm constantly amazed that there are a ton of Ruby gems out there which pretty much work as advertised outside of Rails

I must come to Ruby from a very different angle to you - but I don't even really get what you mean. Why would the majority of gems have anything at all to do with Rails or need it to work as advertised?

For example the top-ten gems have got absolutely nothing at all to do with Rails have they?

The only interesting thing I’ve gleaned from LinkedIn is how some fairly marginal, mediocre technical managers have gotten promotions and steady work over the years, simply by keeping their noses clean, diplomacy, and ‘good’ behavior. And how tempestuous the careers of the creative, talented people can be.

That was a useful observation, but alas, too late.

It's worth noting that that version of pipeline operator was abandoned, while there are still (some newer) open feature requests for a more traditional functional-style pipeline operator.
GoFundMe Statement on the Freedom Convoy 2022 Fundraiser
Not exactly my generation, but I've been in and out of college/university classes for years. One thing that stood out to me about 6 years ago was that every computer lab had a version of Windows 10 installed which included Candy Crush (the original, normal version). By that time Candy Crush was already old hat and had a thousand offshoots on mobile platforms, but even still, I watched several freshmen take breaks from whatever they were doing to play it.

So that's my answer. Candy Crush.
The problem with your "non metaphysical definition of consciousness", is that it does not define what consciousness is. It actually pretends it does not exist.

Sure enough, we know consciousness is tied mainly to the body (and the brain in particular, but not only). It starts and ends with it, it changes with every small change of it. They are just one "thing", two sides of the same coin, it seems.

The problem is, and it's very not a trivial one, that we can know the physical world and our body that is part of it, but for all we know about that physical world, consciousness is not required. It's like it's added on top for no good reason. We can feel the world and make sense of it, up to a point where we have a good understanding of how the whole observable universe kind of works, but we couldn't do better, if we had to describe consciousness to a distant relative from another universe, than to say "so around here we have matter and space and time, and they act like this and that, according to those equations, and when this kind of particule enter the vincinity of that one then this happens, etc, oh and by the way, every time you have a piece of matter organized in such a way that it can somehow represents itself and its environment, then this thing feels that it exists independently, and I'm afraid I can't explain what feeling feels like, you have to be conscious to understand, sorry".

You could say that we know how physics works but not why, and similarly we know how consciousness works but not why. But that would be inaccurate, because what we know about the "how" of consciousness is actually the "how" of behavior. We know nothing about the "how" of conscious experience; for instance we know how pain works at the level of individual neurons and how it leads to some macroscopic behavior, but we have no clue how this relates to (not using "cause" because it's certainly not causal) an experience of pain, and what the subject of that experience is, or if there is only one or many such subjects, or how independent these subjects are from each others, etc...
I'm not an expert but I believe the lexical scoping was a last-minute save by Charlie Nutter to preserve performance! Dynamic scoping of method definitions is seriously hard to optimise, and I'm not sure anyone knows how to do it. Do you really need dynamic? Why isn't lexical enough?
That’s not what is happening, or what salvage means?

if there is no identifiable owner, then the salvor (the one who salvages) is generally entitled to the property as a reward for salvage, but not always. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_salvage]

If there IS an identifiable owner, the salvor is entitled to a reward that takes into account the difficulty in salvaging and the value of the salvaged property, assuming there was no contract that was more specific.

Passthrough-capable video cards aren't cheap or that easy to find and actually get working properly. It's 100% a nice dream, but no single major virtualization vendor supports it for desktop purposes intentionally. It's looking like for the foreseeable future it'll continue to be an expensive and royal pain in the behind.

Of course, YMMV, I recall seeing that linus derp tech guy YouTube make it work one time. Good luck keeping it working properly in the long haul.

I feel I've already learned this the hard way, have several spare Supermicro servers to show for the result of what I consider to be a failed project.

Instead, I maintain a separate windows-only machine for such occasions. Takes up very little extra space or time.

Would love to hear from other folks who use this on the daily.

Maybe not the most convenient way to game on linux but it seems like a great option for non-proton games or if you might want to use microsoft game-pass on to game with a linux pc.

The same youtuber also runs a pretty well made test on latency[1] which appears to be so low it was imperceptible with the testing methods. There is also a very well put together guide that makes all the information very accessible and consumable for those curious enough to try it [2].

What program do you have an issue with? Wine has been supporting a lot of non gaming software for a long time better than Windows itself. Proton has similarly been good for a long time, it has been big. The deck wasn’t some magical finished product it was built on the skelton of steam machines.
No out-of-tree drivers.

1. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6b99e3569ba17b9fd38... (2017) This changed the userspace hwmon API of the thinkpad-acpi driver from `/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_hwmon/` to `/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/`, which broke the sensor-monitoring software that I wrote for my laptop. It was justified on the basis that libsensors was resilient to this change, but my software didn't use libsensors.

2. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b02c6857389da66b09e... (2020) This changed the userspace hwmon API of the k10temp hwmon driver, specifically by swapping which temperatures referred to Tctl vs Tdie. For example, my Threadripper reports one real temperature and one fake temperature that's 27degC higher than the real one. (AMD does this because it wants default fan curves to think the CPU is hotter than it really is, because it wants fans to run faster by default.) Since this change swapped the two sensors, it could've had one of two outcomes for fan curve software:

- a) Software that monitored the fake temperature was now reading the real temperature, and thus running the fan slower than it needed to.

- b) Software that monitored the real temperature was now reading the fake temperature, and thus running the fan faster than it needed to.

Luckily my case was (b), so I discovered the change not because of a throttled / smoking CPU but because of an unexpectedly loud CPU fan.

(There was another case in ~2012 when the thinkpad-acpi driver switched from procfs to sysfs, but that one was more "justified" because sysfs was the right place for hwmon anyway.)
Seconding this comment. I grumbled at first about paying for it but frankly after more than a year I’ve come to realize it’s money well spent considering how much use my family gets out of it.

as for why, probably so that literature written now still makes sense following on from older material from the 20th century that isn't wrong but does include some antiquated terminology.

I develop to trade labor for money. The last thing I want to do when I get off work is more computer work.

If I’m just doing a hobby project proof of concept to learn a new for me technology, I would do that on my work computer. We have a very liberal open source process where we can open source a project under:

https://github.com/aws-samples

That only requires going through a simple process. That also means I have unlimited admin access to multiple dev AWS accounts using our internal tool that we can’t name but almost everyone knows about.

If/when I leave, I can just fork it and continue to work on it if no one else is interested in maintaining it. Otherwise, submit a pull request.

Any outside work I would do would be considered “consulting” - the same thing I do on my $DayJob. That would clearly be a conflict of interest.
Many people here suggests other services, including services you can pay for to bash Google. The reality is that Google offered Google Contributor and now offers YouTube premium but most people prefer free content with ads. And that is fine. I find very surprising the HN folks complaining about the tech companies making ads-based money for their services when they are not willing to pay for the ad-free version. It is disappointing that they feel using ad blockers is the reasonable thing to do. $9/month yearly subscription) for ad-free YouTube is an absolutely fair price IMHO. Ad blockers are piracy and kill jobs, same as downloading movies or books.

Pretty good article, actually. It nailed a bunch of reasons I can't stand linked in but didn't realize it. It really comes down to a very odd version of phoniness. Yes, it exists in all social networks but the linked in version is more cringe. I love this fake Linked In status update:

> Yesterday was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day got a call asking to come in to do the interview. was surprised, but went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.

Ho hum.
It’s potentially fair, see what the comparison comes up with. McKinsey told AT&T not to bother with cell phones, too small a market. And who would need more than 640K RAM in their PCs? (At the time, that question was widely discussed. BG did appear to say that.)
What percentage of global IaaS capacity do you think is used to run SaaS apps?
I can agree with you, as long as Apple allows app developers to clearly spell out that the cost is higher because of the Apple tax and that they have the choice to sign up online if they choose.
That depends on how you define the term. If you're suggesting things are less than optimal, I'm perfectly glad to agree with you. If you're suggesting we should use the force of regulation to attempt to optimize them, you've lost me.
This reminds me of standing up too fast
That is a toll road and highway, not a freeway. Definitely some definition slicing going on - the 110 in SoCal was the first recognized freeway [https://www.motortrend.com/features/1804-americas-first-free...]

Differences are typically that a freeway is designed and constructed to allow maximum speed and no interruptions/stops (hence all the on/off ramps, lack of lights, lack of toll booths), and is available to the general public for use without significant restrictions or costs.

Which make it far easier to use, faster, etc. the interstate highway system was designed largely using the model.

Yes. Going to Friends’ houses. Yes.

It’s difficult to get started if you haven’t already, though. A good way is to volunteer, since you inherently need to socialize to volunteer in person generally.
I’m hoping you get some examples too.
Javascript was behind a "defaults to off" switch, until enough of the Web said "fuck it, we'd rather break than provide a person with what they've specifically requested and set a limit on". And now those of us who point out that mandatory JS is broken and a vector for all manner of ills are thought to be deranged.

I'm not often an Apple fan, but I have intense admiration for this line they've drawn in the sand.
I got targeted on my bipolar research google account on google search and youtube.
LinkedIn shares something with Facebook, in that it is a giant clusterfuck of additional bullshit on top of a few key features, and a critical mass of participants, that fulfills the promise of social networking.

100% owe my career to LinkedIn, despite having never posted or commented or liked or joined a damn thing.

The access to people and information is, unfortunately, worth the cringe.
The work world is a bloody mess today compared to the world I joined in 1979. It almost resembles an environment where you have to join a gang, but threats can come from anywhere.

FDA Document on Moderna Vaccine Approval Removed from Agency’s Website
Yeah it's very limited in general. You can't even get certain standard types of cleanings with 100% coverage because it's not a supported dental code.

It would be way more efficient for employers not to offer dental insurance and instead give employees a tax-free $1,000 yearly stipend which allows employees to use this for personal and family dental care as an expense report which in turn ends up being a business write off for the employer. Now there's no limitations on what work can get done and no wasting your life trying to chase down dental / FSA details. A higher end dental insurance plan through a company is over $1,000 a year too, so this stipend approach would save employers money and it saves employees a lot of money too because you could easily end up paying $600-700 post-tax money out of pocket for standard cleanings a few times a year when insurance won't cover them (even if that insurance costs $1,000 a year). It's a win / win scenario for both the employer and employee.
