It was also a source of obscure bugs and DoS-level resource usage in servers and (non-browser) clients. Some servers managed to send multiple responses together or deadlocked the connection when the timing of requests or available responses was just right. Some servers would queue up responses in memory and so were prone to excess resource usage.

Also, if you had a sent request waiting behind a slow/large response, you had to decide whether or not to send an extra request on a separate connection to get the resource sooner. And when a server closed a connection after sending a response (the spec allows it for multiple reasons), it was hard to know whether it was that the server was just not accepting more requests on that connection or whether a particular request caused it and hence whether any of the waiting request(s) should be re-sent or treated as being in error.
I'm not too familiar with the space but this sounds very similar to the solution Cloudflare acquired a few months ago called 'Zaraz'.

Looks like this really will be the next level of user tracking.
In the end it's not the amount of money you make, but the freedom you have while making that money and the freedom it buys you. I run a subscription service that requires little handholding, it generates enough to enjoy the winter months comfortably in Spain and spent the summer back in my home country. The business runs on autopilot while I can hike in the mountains or enjoy a beer with my wife at the local Chiringuito. Some will laugh at my MRR but I wouldn't switch for a high paying desk job in a million years.
Ikea Skarsta: because you don't need an electric high adjustment, if you stand most of the time.

In addition I bought an Ikea Lidkullen seat, which I use when I can't stand it anymore (pun intended).

However especially for your neck it is important to the position your monitor in a way that you can look at it without bending your neck downwards or upwards also with a standing desk. That is why I have a monitor stand (I use a very cheap one called "monkey desk" made from cardboard, but there are probably better ones out there) also on my standing desk.

And if you stand a very long time it makes sense to invest in a floor mat. I use a puzzle floor mat similar to https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/foam-puzzle-mats . They are cheap and effective.

Just like some car drivers feel entitled to "own" the road and feel that if they hit a cyclist, it was the cyclist at fault, also some cyclists feel entitled to "own" the shared pedestrian and cycle paths, and occasionally hit pedestrians and then blame the pedestrians.
“The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles...when a man lets things go so far that he is more than half a bicycle, you will not see him so much because he spends a lot of his time leaning with one elbow on walls or standing propped by one foot at kerbstones.”

Using the same road as me, at a fourth of my speed, thus risking a potentially dangerous situation for everyone involved, while obviously mistaking a public road for a sports arena (as evidenced by the outfit), while there is a perfectly good bike lane ten meters to the right of them.

No sane person hates the random civilian cyclist who rides inner-city to his place of work, on bike lanes where available, and who acts in a predictable manner (give hand signs when making a turn, stopping when the traffic lights say so, ...). But those wannabe-Lance-Armstrongs on the country road, I can understand how they can make someone's blood boil. Even worse when they do everything to be as invisible as possible (for example, wearing mostly black).
One feature request from business that caught me by surprise when recently implementing an editing page was that it should discard all font styling when pasting from Word.

That is the #1 feature missing from all rich text editors: ability to restrict allowed formatting. No user specified fonts, no user specified font-size (all headings must be paragraph style), all lists must use standard style, etc...

This is where Markdown/CommonMark shines: no hidden formatting that is difficult to get rid of.

The real problem with Markdown is it lackluster support for tables and support for site-specific macros.

Well, a more apt one would be that someone breaks into your house or car and puts all their litter everywhere so that you have to spend hours or days cleaning.

Sometimes I don't get the logic of these spambot creators. Do they honestly believe that creating thousands of fake accounts with links to "hot dating site" in my webshop will help them in any way? These data are completely invisible outside (why would anyone want to present their customer data to the world).
I somewhat agree about the storage unit. I've certainly spent far more on my storage unit over several years than the value of all the stuff that's in it. On the other hand, it's kind of nice having a safe place to store various things which have some sentimental value. It's also a good way to figure out what things you actually need in your life. Has something been sitting in storage for 2 years and you haven't missed it? You don't need it!
You are basically arguing CF == !CF. On MIPS you literally have to compare your result with an operand in order to establish if there was an overflow. On Arm you just look at the status register.

As a cyclist in Scotland who's never had any trouble on the road, I was going to sympathise with your having to put up with a toxic culture in your country. But then I saw your in the UK!
Back in middle school we went on a trip and saw them doing the deconstruction of the elwha dam. They were around halfway done. We stood on the banks and saw the process of the reservoir turning back into a river. There was around 50 feet of sediment with old flooded trees sticking out. It is hard to overstate the effects these dams have on nature. Seeing the photos of the elwha coming back to life is always awesome :)
Are they really though? I'm nearly ready to call it once and for all, toxic and disruptive industry, after 12+ years in it. Expectations are unfairly high, salaries make absolutely no sense, 60+ hours a week are expected even though contracts talk about 37/40hrs/week on average. Meh.
A good example of survivorship bias. I'm sure there's 70 year old IKEA furniture out there too.

I think anyone CAN make a good stool like that if they can find the materials and some hand tools, it's just that nobody can be bothered and nobody wants to pay someone to put in the effort. Or that nobody has access to tools and/or a space to do the work. There does seem to be a bit of a renaissance in woodworking though.
None of those have any chance of helping.
Private Relay uses ingress and egress relays. The ingress proxy does know your IP but not which sites you are visiting and what you are doing. The egress proxy is only connected to the ingress, sees what you visit but does not know who you are. Both proxies are run by different parties.

With a VPN you would have to trust one provider, who sees all of your traffic.

Well, I do agree that it's somewhat confronting, but it get's results pretty fast.

A lot of it really depends on how you say the: "If it's private, just say stfu and I will not ask anymore".

It can be funny and disarming. It means that you want to know what is going on and that they should have no problems with saying that they don't want to talk about it. It doesn't translate well to written text.

In a lot of cases, you don't need to follow-up anymore and they will talk from their own. They are aware that you won't ask anymore, without them going forward on initiating the talk.

Not exactly. All professions have similar communication. Subordinates report up to their supervisors and colleagues discuss laterally with themselves, especially when in a team focused on the same project.

> "I mentioned how stand-ups ... might not be a bad idea"

That's what the other professions are taking issue with: the way software teams communicate.

Stand-ups are a terrible idea. Imposed superficial questions with rarely any nuance or relevance while eating at productive time. We need proper measured processes rather than the agile/scrum/random voodoo of the day.
Programmers are in high demand, even in France.

That said, there are some major caveats:
- Salaries posted on HN are way over the top compared to anything you can get in France
- Most of the recruiting is done through SSIIs/ESNs (capgemini, sopra, atos, etc), which is often shit pay, shit management, shit missions (which is not really a boon if you are already depressive)

For stability and peace of mind, the most straightforward way is to either enter software dev in a big corp (banks, etc, which have in-house teams), or some "éditeur logiciel" whose product is software. Video game development is a big no unless you knowingly want to be exploited for a while until you burn out.

If you have experience, you can increasingly ask for full or close to full remote work if you insist a bit, but most of the time you will only be offered 2 to 3 days of remote work a week, which implies relocating.

Although I don’t like saying this, if you do not have experience you could prep up a bit by working publicly on FOSS things that are relevant to your interest, to have technical things that you care about to talk about during an interview, even if it is totally unrelated to the domain you interview in.
>Digital Nomadism is also very often a form of postcolonial and Western privilege. A lot of DN-targeted content focuses on the individual radical choice of going against the typical societal expectations (settle down, get a house, own stuff). What they mostly miss is how this choice is made possible by the inequalities between the West and the rest of the world.

It's something that came about as a result of domestic inequalities. Digital Nomads wouldnt be anywhere near as common if property/rents werent sky high back home.

It feels a bit wrong to emphasize privilege for things that also come about as a lack of privilege.
Cool. really appreciate the exchange. I actually think you hold
yourself to a very high standard.

If the thing I said about never getting to abrogate responsibility
seems harsh that's because Kant is considered an impossible moral
standard. But in a funny way it absolves you of some moral labour,
because you __must_ :)

We may be talking at cross purposes a bit, between academic moral
principles (like those of Kant, Petit, Mill and so on... which I don't
expect everyone to magically know) and more pragmatic day-to-day
ethics that I presume we all aspire to.

People have tried to post-facto control the uses of their work, for
example using "no military use" licences. But these seem to be a weak
instrument.

By the way, I did go into the robotics gig with eyes wide open,
knowing it was a military/defence-funded project.
good wishes.
If you cycle enough you'll know that often red lights are silly for bicycles. Bicycles shouldn't be treated like cars. They are better. In particular, smaller, more nimble and less dangerous.

I'm a big fan of the "Idaho stop". Essentially it "downgrades" the meaning of stop signs and red lights for cyclists, turning a red light into a stop and a stop into a give way. It makes a lot of sense. Traffic lights and other complications are there because cars are dangerous. People using other modes shouldn't be forced to take the same responsibility as a car driver.
Nice, but it's not possible to not pay cable modem rent and/or connect a different modem in practice... (Vodafone CZ)
Incidentally, Dutch law does not require helmets based on research that shows this 'dehumanizes' cyclists; car drivers take disproportionally more risk when they see helmets, assuming that they are safe.
Well yes and no. The line would visually become longer, but if we're talking enforced line length by IDE's, say 80 characters, then the line would still be 80 characters long, but just take up visually more horizontal space and so whether or not you see the same amount of characters on a line would become an issue of how much horizontal screen space do you afford for code.
Many of the replies so far seem to focus on what you can do for others. What about taking the opposite perspective. How do you relate to your own vulnerabilities? How do you comfort yourself when things are bad or you made a mistake? Do you have patience for your own vulnerabilities or do go directly to self-flagellation for your short comings? If you do the latter, start by fixing this within yourself and how you respond to others will follow naturally.
very similar to virtualenv by the sounds of it,, and doesn't really address things any more/less I would argue other than maybe snapshotting things which I'd argue isn't the same as understanding and testing.

Although I like the separation between deployment and OS that both solutions provide.
This is not really practical for many, but buying a place, keeping your s̶h̶i̶t̶ stuff and renting out the place is also a viable option.
> I suspect in the next 5-10 years there's going to be a big backlash against people from western countries exploiting their economic privilege by living in developing countries.

What kind of backlash are you thinking of? When I think of a digital nomad, I'm thinking of a rich white kid spending their money in a holiday destination year round.
The problem is not writing or reading LaTeX, properly written LaTeX is very readable. It's easy to maintain and understand, and Bibtex for bibliographies works fine once you've gotten used to it.

The problems start once you have to convert this to MS Word, which is essentially impossible with any advanced LaTeX document which will invariably contain complex formulas and also include hacks and adjustments in the preamble. I've done it several times and it basically requires a rewrite. All of the existing tools fail. In fact, in a book I've once edited and made camera-ready in LaTeX, the LaTeX contributions were harder to integrate into the book than the Word files!

Recently I had to deliver a book I've written camera-ready, doing all the typesetting myself, because a large prestigious publisher I had a contract with turned out to be unable to deal with LaTeX. In a sense the problem really is MS Word, it's still the standard and I was astonished to learn about the publishing world in my postdoc time how surprisingly many publishers only deal with MS Word files and do not even use any special typesetting software - many use Word all the way down to creating the final PDF for printing! Looks horrible but I know of several major academic publishers who do it that way.
I mean every show I ever saw where more than one lawyer is on a case they are constantly talking about how their part is progressing, probably they don't have a standup because they talk about it so much that they don't need 10 minutes a day to let everyone know what's going on.
Eh, arguably you can do it without bots by opening a telnet (or openssl s_client) connection and typing the commands yourself. Though ironically some websites will block your attempts because it doesn't look enough like a browser.

You also can't really pass Captcha's this way, as far as I know.
There is also an extension on chrome and firefox store named 'I don't care about cookies' which is specifically made for this issue.

Isn't this always the case? Have we ever had an era when people thought "glad to be in the current era of great movies"?
By your definition would a screen reader turn the browser into a bot? If not, if a I program my own “bot” isn’t it just working as my own agent?
There's a browser add-on that solves captchas for you? Some rather obvious implications of that!
some of that luckiness is probably due the tree. what we need to do is breed a second generation of especially lucky stools from the same stock.

1. germinate new oak trees from genetic material recovered from lucky stool (1-20 years, say)
2. tend to trees as they mature (40 years)
3. fell trees, craft new generation of stools. (~1 year)
4. use stools until only a handful of lucky stools survive (500+ years)
5. iterate

if all goes to plan, by year 2600 or so the third crop can be underway

I usually do read the linked content but I agree with GP poster that comments are often more informative.

Yes there is sometimes an echo chamber here, but it's only for limited topics. It very much has a Silicon Valley feel to it, but @dang and I have gone around on this and he assures us that the readership and comments have broad geographic representation.[1] It's a worldwide echo chamber. :)

Fortunately the echo chamber doesn't exist for most submissions. Most of the discussion on HN is on non-polarizing topics.

If you live in a house with a garage that has a lot of stuff stored in it, you could do the same calculation and find that the money paid to the mortgage per square foot of garage is more than the value of the things stored in it. Or if you have a full basement with maybe 100 sq ft of stuff stored in it.

But there's also a value in having those things available when you want them. And value in simply having the utilitarian flexible space for projects.

I know a number of people who have like a 650 square ft condo and maybe a 90-110 square foot storage unit, and the actual amount of junk and clutter they own is far less than people living in 1800 square foot houses with two car garages in the suburbs.
