As a Linux user, I'm generally fine with that "WINE support" mentality, as long as the application isn't demanding (like an NLE, photo editor, DAW, etc). There's a ton of Windows-only tools that I have no problem using on a regular basis, like Lunar IPS and Winamp.
Because the hourly rate you have to charge if you're actually counting every hour you work, to match the rate you get for actually-productive salaried hours, causes serious sticker shock.
I don't really feel the difference between planning/coding. It's all the same to me in terms of problem solving.

Also, I already do this as a consultant, and clients are usually mostly focused on speed and quality. So I give them 4 hours a day, I take a couple hours off then I plug away at my own projects for a few more hours.

The context switch plus the long break makes it work for me, but everyone is different.

Depending on the project, thinking about solutions during down-time does make sense - but no employer I've ever come across sees it as productive anyway. There's always the silent expectation to look like you're actively working. In any case, I'm often thinking about my work during the day regardless of whether I'm on the clock or not so this is a moot issue for me.
mDNS is cool and I use it for VMs. How do you set them up within a container, do you run a service manager within the container (for the containerized service and avahi daemon), or is it some kind of configuration at the OS level that runs the containers?
I'd dispute that - I think they actually timed their policy shift well. Their export control policies were hugely symbolic, a totem of guilt. The Germans genuinely, and to their significant credit, feel the moral weight of their nation's history. Their reluctance was commendable and not token. Overcoming it is a clear moral judgement that many will hear.

Not least Moscow's elite. German relations with Russia were once much better than most of the rest of Europe's - Russia does not view Germany as simple US puppet.
I think there is maybe a middle ground here (that I haven't found personally) it _is_ really rewarding to have people use your work and provide feedback. Commercialization is conceivably a good way to do that (you get marketing and support). Never seen it work out that way, but I still think its possible.

edit: and of course engineers, you can maybe pay people to come and work with you..which can be alot more fun and extend your reach
To transliterate your comment into an equivalent context:

I feel like after 12 or so hours of chess I'd figure out how to not hang pieces. From there, how to find the best moves is just a question of dedicating energy into finding them in game.

I'm not sure why anyone plays more than 100 or so hours of chess. Doesn't it get boring?

My concern is the spirit of sensible public discourse here on HN. It has nothing to with one’s position on any particular issue. In any case, one would want and need credible information to make a justified judgement, not to have evidence or views contrary to one’s position be simply removed. To have a post from legitimate source flagged/removed from the front page repeatedly _is_ puzzling and troubling. It makes one wonder what sort of post actually gets onto the front page on HN.

Its not easy to "port" the OS/2 situation to the modern world. It as much possible to "run" windows software on linux with wine as it is possible to run linux software on windows with wsl.

Of course, since "linux api" is open/public/floss, wsl may have an advantage in compatibility. What is hard to determine is which side this advantage will benefit.
One thing about inviting the whole world to help is that they massively outnumber the target (and make no mistake, the whole world is responding). The west has enough hacking and DDOS capability to take out all of the Russian targets. At this scale, and with this much redundancy, coordination becomes unnecessary - it's more of a contest about who does most damage.
really, you have to be privileged to not watch the news? Then I guess by your reasoning, all those folks that can't afford tv or internet at all are the most privileged of all, correct?
It would be awesome if it was able to sync via git in a way that is compatible with plain text accounting: https://plaintextaccounting.org/

> how would I ever remember anything? With paper?

memory is a skill. Paper is useful.

If I want to remember something I write it down, or I train the memory. The phone is so ephemeral, just a vague cloud without landmarks or permanence-- how would I find the information again after I put it in my phone?

Your system (probably) works well for you, and I'm happy you have something which serves your needs.
Yeah I never got why this is the standard. Glad I’m not the only one
> we can't have free music

and musicians can't have free food and housing
This is so strangely sad. Go ahead and write a programming language. Have a weird hobby you clank away on that might not see the light of day. If you burn out on it, that's one thing and that's okay; you've exhausted the medium. Move on to something else you enjoy. Grow for the sake of growing.

Just because something hasn't become big doesn't mean it's a failure. I've labored in dark early hours over paintings and music that will never see the light of day, but it's a vital part of how I express and cultivate myself. My journal.

99% of art is unknown personal projects. Embrace yours. Why be bitter?
Oversupply is great for consumers but very bad for suppliers. Neither extreme is healthy long term. You generally want a balance between supply and demand so that suppliers have a predictable target they're aiming at and can expect a reasonable profit given the capital expenditures needed to make next generation products. If we go into a prolonged oversupply situation, that will be great for prices to consumers in the short term. However the longer it persists this will of course limit, or even eliminate, profits that can be made. As a result, companies will reduce production capacity and eventually R&D for their next generation products. This in turn will tend to increase prices with minimal product improvements longer term.
I thought I addressed that quite clearly in the post, did I not? Multistacks relieve much of the pain of stack shuffling while retaining the benefits of concatenative notation, e.g. refactorability. There are also other emergent benefits such as global variables without the drawbacks.
Trying not to upset an authoritarian to ease tension will only work in the short term. I'm sure Putin felt threatened for many reasons, both internal and external to Russia. Both valid and imaginary.

It seems that many in Europe hoped to turn a blind eye in return for economic success. I hope much can be recovered and ties restored, but probably not while Putin is at the helm.
sure are a lot of parentheses in that.
I know Disney’s first residential development, Celebration, FL got mocked relentlessly for being a “fake place” but I think that’s incredibly misguided.

If you’ve visited Florida, you know that almost all new development is subdivisions with a name like “Olympus” and an entrance with a grand signage and sometimes even a gatehouse. There are 4 or 5 house plans that are repeated throughout the enclosed development. There is nothing except endless repeating houses. For any shopping to schools or coffee or libraries or anything else, you’ll have to dump out onto the 6 lane semi-highway outside and find your way to strip mall wrapped in a sea of parking.

They are 100% as ”fake” as Celebration, but the real problem is they are built at a non-human scale. They are built for cars and maximum isolation.

Celebration was built on a human scale, tucking cars away behind buildings, making sure houses were built around mini parks and within walking distance of stores and shops and schools.

The idea that building mixed use urbanism is fake and somehow strip malls and isolated subdivisions are real… I don’t understand that line of argument.

All large scale developments are “artificial” in the sense that they are planned, but why not use that moment of planning to plan something for humans?
The US clearly had some sort of intelligence that the order had already been given, but France and Ukraine, and other countries without access to that or skeptical of the source specifically said it was unlikely up until a day or two before. The point is that unless you have an advanced intelligence apparatus, trying to guess what Putin is going to do is meaningless at this point, you have to prepare for every eventuality. Here's an article clearly saying that invasion was not imminent based on Ukrainian intelligence on 20 Feb.[0]

The exchange rate went even more bonkers since the article, up to 150 buy / 85 sell. I have no idea how much dollars my next pay check will buy and if buying any would be worth it at all. This is even worse than 2014. Maybe I should just buy food, pay for rent and donate the rest towards fines the brave protesters will have to pay.
The return values are definitely terrible, but the information I’m inferring is:

- Maybe: the mime type is likely a container, and there are a wide range of possible contained formats… some supported, some not. As in the example, mp4 is such a container.

- Probably: this is either a known format that’s definitely supported (boolean true) or a container format with a narrower range of contained formats, all of which are likely to be supported if any are. Newer or more obscure containers will more likely fall in this category.

I hate to imagine the bikeshedding that must have gone into this API.
> UNIX you mean.

Not the GP but generally speaking it’s not a great reach to say that Linux is more widely supported than POSIX. GNU-only flags are often used in shell scripts and you’ll often find binaries are packaged as a snap or Docker container thud anyone running a non-Linux system is left to compile that project themselves.

Even WINE itself doesn’t officially support all POSIX-compatible UNIXs.
It's pretty clear that you've never actually seen a roulette wheel in action. Introducing a bias intentionally (i.e. trying to control where the ball drops) would take extreme skill. Doing it unintentionally is impossible.
Full browser stack L7 DDoS against Russian resources
Last days there are DDoS attacks against many Russian resources (news, banking, government). The interesting point is that the attacks (at least some of them, e.g. against rbc.ru) are running by live people from more than 100K communities using Tor browsers and java script code. There are also plenty of dummy curl scripts. These are essentially full-browser stack L7 DDoS attacks.

Typically, the attacks aren't applicable against business resources since they require large people communities.
>and it's also true that it's actually arriving this year

Do you have insider knowledge or just a quality crystal ball?
Norway has been holding back oil production. If needed we can essily ramp it up quite a bit for a few years.

And, as I mentioned the other day, I at least would be positive to sell at a lower prices to friendly countries in Europe until we get this situation under control.
Working as a developer means you have to write docs, investigate designs, talk to users, interview people, go to meetings, do support, do corporate BS, training. Sure a few people can skip this stuff but usually its the most junior grades who can concentrate code only.

Chess is absolutely competitive!

It's not that deterministic, multiple choice games can't be competitive, it's that they need different things from your average solo sport to make them competitive.
I have a tiny little side business making an electronic gadget. I've had to get good at substitution. Granted this is easier for me, I don't have to go through an engineering change order process, and can usually trust my gut on what's going to work. Still, it's a PITA.

I have a couple simple Android apps. I think they're too simple to warrant charging money. I did try with one, but it never took off and didn't make any ad revenue either. So I made it free.
It doesn't sun up the problem with IT, it sums up the problem with bias in media.

Why do you think this article both misrepresents the situation, omits mentioning federal tax implications of paying in this manner, and is not on a Colorado government site? Cui bono?

The answer is: 'Because this is a submarine article targeted at crypto shills, by crypto shills.'
In a perfect system, you are more correct than you give yourself credit for. This is not that. In case you haven't noticed, a GPU costs more than the rest of the components of a PC combined. And that's because of so-called market and or supply chain inefficiencies (which I'm supposed to, as a consumer, take on the chin).

In spite of political, personal, or professional neglect, (don't care which one) chip companies are posting gargantuan earnings YOY and seem to be doing fine.

On the other hand, my sibling can't afford a car or a non-pre-built computer.

I guess it's not clear in your post, but who exactly are we looking out for here? The furloughed talent? The "market"?

And regardless, how is that my problem?

Again, I would love to have a level headed discussion about this, but please be honest about who truly loses in an oversupplied market.

BTW, because I see this here a lot: just because the whole "it's more complicated than you think" rationale is not a commonly accepted logical fallacy, doesn't mean that it's not bullshit all the same.
I'm really confused by it. It's almost like some strange species of humblebrag. "Look at my _____, isn't it horrible?"

I can't understand why the writer seems so bitter about spending so much time on something they clearly love... I mean, what else is there to do? Lots of boring obligatory stuff!
The number of forms required, in my country, to (legally) make money from side projects - although not prohibitively large - would be akin to taking on a second self-employed job.
People that care about PoS could have already invested in something else. The people stuck on Ethereum will boast about PoS coming soon, but if tomorrow they said they were going to wait for 5 more years they'd stick with Ethereum and talk about PoS for 5 more years without switching to a different PoS token.
I think for mostly the same reasons as already mentioned; if I ask money, it is a job. Unless it is donations, asking money creates obligations. I have asked money for side projects in the past and it worked but they became actual jobs. That is a choice.
What I described is not a museum. It is a living, evolving ecosystem. It is however under the conscious control of humans. A milder version of this exists in the form of national parks and wildlife reserves.

It also is not mutually exclusive with preserving Earth's natural habitats. In fact, expanding beyond Earth makes it possible to outsource industry and agriculture off-Earth, to allow more of the Earth's surface to be returned to its pre-human state.

Finally, in terms of human-engineered expansion of habitats for other lifeforms, there is the far more durable possibility of terraformed planets. These would require no active intervention to maintain once the terraforming has been completed.

In short, the ascent of human civilization can be, and I would bet would likely to be, a massively positive development for all forms of Earth-based life.
It seems clear that they're trying to communicate confidence level, for which a boolean would be insufficient. But I can't see why it couldn't have been a % value in that case.

I thought it might be that each value is specified to correspond to some specific confidence, but the spec. is extremely and deliberately vague, which makes the whole thing even more useless as that will inevitably just lead to different implementers returning inconsistent values for arbitrary confidences.
Can you translate for people (like me) who don't know what all those numbers are supposed to represent? I can't make sense of it or relate any of them to GPU demand.
A lot of people just like to build stuff and put it out there in case it's useful for other people. Some people are inherently kind like that.
> I'm sure you've all seen the person, that guy who can't help himself from answering programming questions with an explanation how it's done in their own language.

Agree, this can be quite annoying, especially if you're looking for a practical solution to something.

> The person that discusses software optimisation techniques with regards how they implemented it in their compiler.

This on the other hand is often gold. I'd encourage the author and anyone else to share this knowledge whenever they feel the urge!

I have been full-time on Ethereum for years, I'm a software engineer, and I have a relatively intimate knowledge of the specific milestones the community has been achieving and why that implies that proof of stake will ship this year.

Here's an overview

Dec 2020: proof of stake launched in production, but isn't yet used to secure ethereum, it runs in parallel

October 2021: the last major upgrade to Ethereum before switching to proof of stake went live in production

Today: proof of stake "Merge" testnets are live, all core teams are 100% focused on the merge, regular progress reports are nominal, etc.
A good chunk of my time was in SoC eval so if the vendor was being complacent they didn't get the bid. You should always be running multiple solutions so you don't get locked in with a certain vendor(and also a really good reason to keep any tech stack you have highly portable).

Even then though there's ways to approach it that don't disclose. You can set KPIs that you expect to hit and talk through how they plan too approach it from their side. If something is known in the public you can reference it although I generally prefer not to.

Depending on what part of the industry you're in some vendors prefer not to patent and keep approaches internal so discussion of certain aspects can be pretty sensitive.
War in the era of twitter and tiktok is kinda weird to me. I assume that information like this would have been available to military leadership in past wars and battles. But now it's available to every civilian with an internet connection. I don't know if this is good or bad or neutral. But it feels very different.
Structurally, electrification, such as the mass production of electric vehicles, and digitalization need semiconductors, mostly of the high-end variety that can only be produced by the most advanced semiconductor foundries

There's nothing about electric car propulsion that requires "high end semiconductors". Auto companies have been pricing electric cars as a luxury product, and adding too much crap that has nothing to do with the powertrain to justify that to buyers.
