Agree. There's a reason that the GEM acronym (government, education, medicine) is a thing. Most sales people try to avoid them because they're going to be long sales cycles.

However, that's not to say all sales people avoid them. There are specialists just like VCs that do know their way around GEM. It's just going to be a smaller, more niche community.

Which we all appreciate. It doesn't mean the essay didn't turn out less articulate than it could be. It’s fair to critique writing regardless of the author’s credentials. The “hole” analogy is interesting but doesn't really serve to land a clear and coherent point as used by the author in my opinion.
More likely they're emphasizing the alternative that makes them the most money. The user-as-product is what Microsoft missed the boat on while concentrating on Windows lock-in under Balmer.
It's doubtful that your measurements are even close to accurate. If you're on a stationary bike then the distance displayed is completely meaningless. The equipment manufacturers just show those numbers to make their customers feel good. In terms of calories they are in no way comparable to real outdoor cycling. You can get a great workout on a stationary bike but you need to be realistic about the true power output.

What is the actual power output in watts? Has it been properly calibrated? If not then you're just fooling yourself.
Generally no, simply publishing is enough prior art to avoid someone else getting a patent. It can be helpful in indirect ways, like being more likely to be seen by a patent examiner. Alternately, you can license it under a defensive patent license which is very useful in some situations (see e.g. Opus, AV1).
The wonderful answer is that it isn't!

Browsers can't, and absolutely shouldn't, do everything.
I don't think this shields the company from liability. Instead it provides some ammunition to use in the event of a lawsuit.

Things are very different between employees and the general public. I imagine a jury would find that a lady-busting security robot is negligent by default. Whereas, a fork lift driver would be assumed to be doing his job and that situational negligence would need to be proven.
It's funny as it was the opposite for my friends. We always go on New Year's trips together, and when we're just sitting around or in the car, etc. everyone was on their screens. Same back at the cabin, unless we were playing Uno or some other game. We're all early 29-31.
It would also make stealth-proof gravitational radar equivalent. You would probably have to work on the acronym though.
Yeah, the more we talk it over, the better of an idea it sounds. It could even be restricted to submissions more than a year old.

It would be an interesting experiment. You could prototype it with a tampermonkey script and post it as a Show HN.
I don't have any specific recs - I've just seen desktop motherboards with 2.5Gb/s and my boring standard AT&T fiber box has a 2.5Gb/s LAN port on it.

If you're already running a device like that Protectli then maybe you'd be comfortable building a small-form-factor PC with a 2 port 2.5Gb/s ethernet card (around $40) and running it to a 4-port 2.5Gb/s switch (around $125 for this TRENDnet one I see on Amazon). You could even install PFSense on the PC and keep your setup mostly unchanged.
Good lord, both sounds terrible.

Ads in your email that skip the spam filters or big ads on the side that may slow down your browsing!
This is it. I also find myself accidentially interacting with inline ads more than banner ads.
If they did commit a crime they should be punished - after it has been proven.

Also, they didn't just seize the property allegedly acquired through illegal means, they also seized the entire family's unrelated savings (from prior/unrelated jobs). It was hardly some kind of crime family/syndicate situation that needed immediate law enforcement action to prevent further harm.
Looking at the MDN page [1], I noticed that SHA2-256 digest authentication was added relatively recently to Firefox (and Firefox for Android). I wonder why they added it, as no other browser manufacturer seems to care and the added benefit of using digest rather than basic auth is only minimal now that every decent website has TLS.

Also, interestingly, the support matrix suggests that Firefox for Android supports Kerberos and NTLM authentication. I guess I never expected Kerberos for websites to show up outside of desktop browsers.

moral?
Yeah they don't really care about guilt or innocence once you're charged, all they care about is that 98% conviction rate. Cops/Prosecutors may have been decent people at some point but the modern versions do not care about guilt or innocence, only conviction rates and padding their careers with marks scratched in the wall.
I will say that as I've gotten older that I've noticed a bigger link between code others may think I'm obsessing over and job satisfaction. If I'm insisting on 'perfection' in a bit of code, coping mechanisms are definitely part of the mix. I think only twice has it come to the point of me saying "If you want it to work that way, you're going to need to find someone else to work on this," but I have definitely felt it more often than that. It feels foolish to say it but sometimes honesty is the most efficient form of communication.

If you don't let your engineers take out some of their frustrations on the code, they will take it out on someone else. Some of your 'inefficiency' is bridge-building. Like any other relationship, sometimes you have to humor the other person with requests that seem unimportant to you.

In fact most service businesses are built on that mismatch - you want something to happen but you hate doing it and it's worth $N an hour to get someone else to do it, while I hate it less and $N/2 an hour sounds like a pretty reasonable incentive to do it for you.

But part of my complaint here is discovering a class of people who talk the talk about how they wish they could do something, but the moment the backlog empties out they sit around saying there's nothing to work on. The first time I encountered this, and started to wonder how many bullshitters there were at the current place, I was furious. Because for once in a blue moon integrity actually was on the schedule, and I discovered people who had none. And of course this could not be a unique situation I was in. How many other people had been saying pretty words they didn't mean my entire career?

That was, all told, probably one of the worst days in my career. Being laid off is always the worst after it happens, but when you land in something better that starts to fade. Meanwhile this experience is just there. Some days it's worse, others it's better, but my life was easier when I thought everyone was just doing the best they could.
Demodulation of the LTE uplink
You can do it yourself at the cost of (a lot of) performance. Make say 4TB partitions on each drive, and make vdevs across the partitions.

Then you can upgrade by putting the partitions on different drives etc. Of course must then be careful not to put two partitions of the same vdev on the same disk.

The major downside is that ZFS isn't aware that the underlying devices are the same, so IO which looks nicely scheduled as far as ZFS is concerned might cause massive random IO on the underlying disks.

That said, if one could tell ZFS about which zfs-devices share physical hardware, so the IO scheduler would be aware, then that might be a viable strategy. Might be handy in case you have multiple iSCSIs sharing a 10G link as well.
You could release your code with a less permissive license (say excluding companies with a 1 trillion dollar market cap) so they at least have to play ball with you.
Yeah, I tried a bunch of vendors, Tesla, Panasonic, and even signed up with a broker to scan for deals. They all came back negative. I'm paying like $0.11/kwh right now so there is no way.

Instead I'm going to scratch my solar/battery itch with my new office trailer setup.
> if you're using legitimate funds to infringe upon the human rights of others, the government has every right to stop you from doing that.

They have a right in what sense? I've never heard of a government doing that. The fact that they had to use an emergency order to do so suggests that they do not have the right.

In what sense are the truckers 'using money' to infringe on rights? The money doesn't seem critical to the movement to me. You can just as easily say they are 'using food' and mandate that they should be starved.
What does animal rights activism to the point of that level of government interest look like? Linked article didn't go into any details on the matter at hand.

The biggest reason to use multimode - cheaper equipment, is no longer here. High-end multimode NICs, and transmitters now cost more than SMF.

It's possible that you are underestimating how much time you spend on the Internet and how often it punctuates your day.

I also don't like to think of myself as Internet addicted and like to believe I'm pretty self disciplined about my usage.

Even so, doing a 24-hour no media with my family led to an experience very similar to what the author describes here. I had no idea how often I was throwing away little five minute slices of my life to staring at my phone.
On the contrary. I think people who don’t actually use Twitter are unaware just how magical DMs can be.
I've often wondered why scooter companies don't keep metrics on their users, and punish the ones who use their product poorly (donuts, bad parking, use on sidewalks, etc) and came to the conclusion that these antisocial users are very likely the scooter companies largest consumer base. The scooter companies are likely incentivized to not regulate.
There isn't anything in the standard to support a "Go here to reset your password" link or a "Go over here to create an account" - I really appreciate HTTP auth for somethings - but it's not great if you don't have a user base that is registered for your site through some non-web based interaction. It's certainly possible to have a user creation flow that ends up auth'ing with Basic Auth but it's not particularly user friendly.
I think Go has done a lot in the last 10 years to facilitate a mindset shift in our industry to "less is more". For a long time, Go was (and probably still is) ridiculed for eschewing many of the features that programming language practitioners have dreamt up over the last several decades, but as more people have tried the language in earnest they have to grapple with the fact that there are some advantages to not having to grok an enormous feature matrix even if they disagree with Go's specific feature set. The conversation has advanced beyond the "if you don't like a feature just don't use it" justification for kitchen sink languages.
You know at the time I never realized I was living in a golden era between the time anti-malware and anti-adware became very good and the time the ads were built right into the damn operating system and first-party software.
I like that Mikrotik are very transparent about it. On their site they publish performance test results in various configurations.
> I imagine this is so for the vast majority.

Even if that is true, societies should still take extra care to protect the interests of minorities, since they typically suffer disproportionate consequences from human rights abuses.

To give a hypothetical example, if someone had Jewish ancestry and also a diagnosis that they had diabetes, I would guess that they'd want the first piece of information to have more protection than the second.

Of course the situation may be different in different countries and for different people (who I am not qualified to speak on behalf of), but I'm just cautioning against seeing DNA as being somehow "neutral".
Yeah the battery life is pretty insane. It's hard to fully describe to anyone who hasn't had an ARM laptop.

Any other laptop I've owned, including the glorious ~2015 MBP, was liable to either hit 2% battery or completely die if I left it unplugged overnight, which I sometimes do accidentally because I like to put on some boring YouTube playlist as I got to sleep.

With my M1 Macbook Air, I can accidentally leave it unplugged while playing YouTube videos all night, and I can wake up in the morning to find that it still has >90% battery left, sometimes even 95%.

Most importantly, it means not having to think about whether the airplane has power available when I fly. I can watch YouTube for a full 6 hour flight with no worries. I once played Halo CE Anniversary through Parallels on my mac during a flight and it lasted 3 hours before hitting maybe 10% battery remaining, which is pretty good considering that's Xbox 360 level graphics.
> Safety gimmick aside

Safety is a gimmick?
It would be great to see ISPs in the USA, even rural or municipal ISPs begin offering this.

The biggest issue I see with doing this (for residential users) is the fiber handoff. For 25Gbit, the very minimum is going to be a SFP28 module with an LC connector. The linked Init7 article is a bit light on details, but consumer grade hardware is not even close to that that in 2022. (SFP Ports OR the packet processing power to move that much traffic!)

Maybe the OTO Init7 installs on the house breaks it out into multiple 1Gbit or 10Gbit links to be more compatible? Even then, in the USA, basic SFP+ 10Gbit fiber, (inside the house) is rare in a residential setting. (Most fiber-based ISPs in the USA provide a 1Gbit copper uplink inside the house.)
It appears they don't care about those people. Windows is not the product.

If you are not consuming their cloud product AND providing a stream of your telemetry data for them to monetize, you are of no value to MS and so invisible.

It did for me - it delayed my start by a few weeks.

Go is a language for people that think being able to learn a programming language in a couple of hours makes it good. C-like syntax is not an inherently good thing, it's just familiar. Thus Go is good for people who don't like to learn and/or find learning difficult.

Simple constructs such as sum types do not exist in Go. How do you express that a value is either type A or type B in Golang? Go, in its infinite simplicity, does not allow for that, instead it allows you to express that a value can be type A or type B, type A and type B, or neither! Simple right!

And then errors! Go takes the simple approach with regards to incorrect code in that it just does not care if your code handles all possible error states or not! Simple, just don't give a shit!

If your career is in software and your decision making process for a programming language is "what can I learn in an hour?" then your decision making abilities are questionable.
> Otherwise my existence makes no sense

Can I ask seriously, are you OK?

Because freelancing for depressive/negative reasons makes no sense. You should trust me on this because I freelanced for depressive/negative reasons and it has trapped me.

> I can get back to school and wage-slavery at any point in my life later

Don't be so sure. It does get harder, and one day you will not be able to ignore the things you cannot afford (healthcare, time off, if nothing else). Going back to school will cost you more, and it's harder to get into a job from long-term freelancing (except by being recruited by one of your stable clients).

What I would advise, if you're already freelancing, is to try as much as possible to make it worthwhile, because it's always going to suck in terms of income.

Find a way you can really contribute, find a way for your freelancing to help you build a life. Or travel, work remotely from somewhere that changes the way you see things.

To be blunt, railing against corporatocracy isn't a business plan, basically. The trendy kind of "alternative way of working" is almost always backed by angel investors, NGOs, charities or parents.

That's very interesting because with some more napkin math...

If we assume 3500 additional calories is 1 lb of fat stored on your body, then
3500/300 = 11.6 days you gained 1lb

Assuming 6 months is 180 days, then
180/11.6 = 15.5 lbs over 6 months

This Settings page is still using UWP/XAML though these days the more accurate term is probably WinUI3 XAML. It isn't using a WebView at all. It is using JS as the programming language responding to/driving the UI, but it's still "native controls" (in so much as such a concept ever really has any meaning).
How did you get to where you could trust DEVONthink auto-categorization? It seems powerful, but I would be afraid of forgetting where I put something. And there's no auto-wikilinking based on classification, right?
Too bad they don't teach the crying technique before you visit! The young man I'm familiar with was locked up in holding (not sent to prison) for six months then put on a plane to his home country and told never to come back. That was a REALLY expensive joint.

Are there any books that anyone recommends?

We do our best to limit screen time, but you can tell it's all they think about sometimes. When we say "You can play nintendo switch when your friends come over", their brains kick-in like limitless -- "i need to charge the controllers now, so they don't run out of battery. 2 need the usb cables while 1 needs more AA batteries". In comparison to when I recommend doing something creative, I have to push through "if you want to draw, the paper is on your desk"....

That's actually a really good outcome, your company gets points for fixing their postings instead of just shutting down the offer.
I agree with this. The limited location I find that I really miss ternary operations is initialization.

v := if foo() {
7
} else {
11
}

But this means {} blocks now have values, which is weird in a C derivative. Of course, one could do

v := func() int {
if foo() {
return 7
} else {
return 11
}
}()

but... that's kind of awful.
I wonder what happens if you secretly go and do work from Colorado, say long enough to need to file taxes in CO. Surely you'll be fired eventually, but if you get away with it for long enough, would they be compelled to publish their salary whether they wanted to or not?
Symmetric 1G also lets you run services legit out of your home which is nice occasionally.
You can think of it differently - multiple people in your household can access different services or multiple 4K streams without interfering with each other.

It turned out to be pretty easy; I hacked one up in a few hours and got it published on AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/override-text...

It's open-sourced on GitHub in case you're curious. It just overrides the Content-Type header on pages where you've turned it on, setting the `charset` parameter to whatever you select.
I don't think rates are going to go up like they came down, maybe ever again unless there's some kind of bretton woods reset.

This is because of maths and the inverse effects of downward and upward shifts.

- If you borrow $100 at 5% your interest is $5pa, which matches your discretionary repayment ability.

- Rates drop to 3% and you can afford to borrow $167 at 3% for the same $5pa. This is a 2% or 40% of total drop.

- New buyer buys in at cost of $167.

- To make it somewhat realistic lets say inflation comes along and income rises, now you have $6pa repayment ability.

- With a larger $167 loan, your $6 repayment can afford a rate rise to only 3.55%, this is a .55% rise or 18% total increase.

.

So while the rates dropped 2%, a rise of more than .5% bankrupts all the new buyers. The government is sensitive to this because many people just bought together at the new prices and low rates, and it becomes untenable when large amount of the population lose their homes at once.

The same dynamic applies to business loans, government balance sheets.

US is an outlier with 30 year fixed loans, the rest of the world basically does loans on variable rates or fixed for maybe 5 years a time.
There's something to be said to only allow limited customisability when it comes to native browser controls. The window is native to the browser, so there shouldn't be any way for the website to make it appear as if the browser itself is stating something that the website is stating.

As a developer, the browser login popup follows your users' preferences rather than yours. That's also a net positive in my book.

Yep, the only sure way to keep a kid off a screen is to physically remove the screen. My son is grown and out of the house, but when he was a kid, he was eventually able to defeat just about anything I installed on our PC. With friends younger kids, removing iPads and suchlike is much easier than maintaining software limits.
You don't need to patent something to prevent somebody else from doing it. Just make it public and prior art applies.
Google can fight their death about as well as anyone can fight wrinkles that come with age. It can be slowed but is inevitable.
I kinda agree, but as its common for people to change jobs every year or 3 I'm not convinced employers really look for people to develop.
The concept of software patents is inherently bad. You're basically saying no one is allowed to write down the same idea as you.
