Disclaimer: I'm an old coot and my hardware is lagging behind, still on a single 22" display on my desktop, etc, etc, so I am most likely missing something, AND your overall argument here does appear sound, but I do found myself wondering:

why, if you have a 4k display and massive amounts of screen realestate, do you have a maximized browser window?
I mean, with my crappy hardware I can understand why I am doing it, but I assume that I am the odd one/edge-case here, not you.
Optimally people download the source and run it locally to avoid being blocked by referer.
I stopped buying Qualcomm smartphones years ago. There's no way I'd by a laptop with one of their chips.

I meant to say, what is the case for Newman over "pick a programming language that you like and know, and write the http tests in that" ?

It was my assumption that the people writing the APIs were also writing the tests, so they would prefer the familiar language.

If you have "different languages" in play, you get to choose one of them for tests. I've seen it happen that a language is chosen for test that is not in use in the API's at all. It's only "likely" the same language, as I said above.

If you have a isolated "API test automation team" then it sucks to be you, but the language choice would be on them, wouldn't it? I don't think that I implied otherwise.

If anything, he will start by actually cutting off natural resource supplies to Europe. Which would be no joke, as the continent severely depends on them.

Of course, it would hurt Russia too, but we already see that they don't care. Best case scenario imo, Putin "suddenly gets ill and dies" and they get a more level headed leader who will revert things to the status quo.
That will stop at some point and then the bottom will really fall out. There is only so much sink capacity for a weak currency like the Ruble always was.

You're proving the point, nobody would pay a monthly subscription to use curl over netcat.
Duh, really… The person asked for a source…
Vast majority ( if not All ) of the HN reply seems to be betting against it. Let me be the usual contrarian. The message is very specific about business software, not any software ( as the headline suggest ), I actually think this isn't so bad provided the following:

You get freemium usage every month. In that case, everyone gets to use Microsoft Office for free. And that is a huge lock in if it isn't already.

You have caps, just like AWS, the cap will be cheaper than actually billing per second.

The subscription per month stays in place. Because companies like OpeX, but the usage model gives them a lot of flexibility. Especially in terms of cross selling to other software within the same company.

The only problem is I only see this being possible if the software is run on server and streamed to clients. Otherwise I dont see how they could meter it and we are just back to the old crackz or warez era.

>>You'd pay the new battery money after saving on gas for 12 years.

How do you figure? For example lets look at my buying pattern

Some One leases a new Vehicle... 3-4 years later they return it, that is when I come in, I buy a Lease Return almost every time. I keep that for 5-6 years. At which point I sell or trade for another lease return. the car is typically about 9-10 years old at that point. Someone Buys this from me or the dealer then 2 years later is hit with a $16,000-$20,000 bill

People do not normally keep a car for 12 years... So you would not have "saved" for 12 years

>Those statistics typically use a very misleading definition of 'afford'.

It is not really, as it is based on cash savings of a person to incur the expense with out using debt. If we are talking about a $16-20,000 expense on a 12 year old car, it is unlikely anyone will finance that expense has it would exceed the cars resell value. No lender is going to give you a loan to replace the battery. This problem exists today with many hybrids.
Technology that can get Europe off of natural gas would be tremendously helpful, and we already needed to be working on that yesterday because of climate change. Perhaps this war will provide a psychological incentive to do what needs to be done. This research could be carried out anywhere and there would be no need to classify it unlike military R&D so it can immediately be put into practice.

My hope in the US is that there will be motivation to direct some of our bloated military budget to renewables research. The long term impacts of dismantling Russia's leverage over europe through alternative energy sources will be larger than merely inventing a better gun.
Independently thinking people in my circle (not hacker hackers, engineers and software/hardware folks) are in a bit of a shock. Networking infrastructure sometimes behaves unpredictably. People are buying basic goods and things that do not expire fast. Bracing for the unpredictable (some while hoping for the best, others not so much).

Those outside of Russia but who have to use Russian banks (because international prepaid debit plastic banned them already years back) are preparing to be financially stranded.
The core idea the author never quite grasps is the issue of "society will", or "society ambition". The simple fact that all of this civilization is only possible through massive cooperation, and that is only achieved through majority approval of society's values and behaviors.

At some point in time, if the wealth inequalities are not addressed, "society's will to cooperate in a shared civilization" will cease. At that point in time, the entire planet could become a welfare state, with fossil resources expended and no society will for anything beyond survival of a population holding on.

NATO bases were used to wage war on Iraq. War on Iraq wouldn't have happened if NATO bases weren't entirely supportive of the effort. Allied Command Europe played a major role in supporting those NATO member states "threatened" by the conflict.

This disingenuous attempt at defending NATO's honor with regards to crimes against humanity and war crimes committed under its purview is ineffective in light of the endless streams of human beings still out there, still living in refuge from America's and NATO's wars. YOU may not like to admit it, but there are millions and millions of INNOCENT people out there for whom NATO and its membership is very, very definitely an aggressor.

That "libappindicator" library being dropped isn't the first time there were problems. The article in yesterday's Steam/Proton post also mentioned it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30490570).

That was a figure of speech my friend, as in "The Butler did it".
why, if you have a 4k display and massive amounts of screen realestate, do you have a maximized browser window?

It's the job of every web dev to write code that works everywhere. If the user has chosen to run their browser maximised on a 4K monitor that's their choice. When you write code, saying "the user is using it wrong" is never going to be an acceptable excuse for shipping something that doesn't work well for everyone in my opinion.
generally not. unless Qualcomm is doing something very different.

aarch64 works in all chromebooks - and also the AWS Graviton platform in production.

there's a nice repo that AWS maintains for this - this should be very helpful. https://github.com/aws/aws-graviton-getting-started

We are basically in the endgame here.
Better alternatives.
I recommend you start an MBA program at night. There is no single book, there is no single topic, you need a broad range of new perspectives to be a truly effective manager.
I would not take that wager. Just because it has a USB-C port doesn't necessarily mean it has support for anything other than basic USB device support.
When it's choice between something like a 16:10 1440x900 and a 1600x900 16:9 screen I'll pick the latter every time, more resolution is more resolution. A 4K screen would give you more "space" than your MBP offers.

What's the efficiency of doing this over being able to change the laptop battery? I've done it a few times for my M1 Macbook Air and feel like it can't be much better than 50%-75% but it would be nice to know.
Yep, there was talk about disabling 'sell' button for outside investors in a reply to 'illegitimate' sanctions. If you are a russian equity bag holder i feel bad for you, son.

From what I've seen the British haven't hesitated to spend money on defense. The Germans were told not to buy the British to try and crush the Prussian military tradition and prevent future land wars, a powerful Russia being one of the consequences.
I think you’re taking this a bit too literally - nobody is saying that space exploration money alone can cure homelessness.

The point is that it’s emblematic of all the frivolous, useless things resources get allocated to, instead of curing poverty - which is extremely straightforward to do (redistribute downward) except that rich folks hate redistribution downward but love redistribution upward.
Sure but you lose quite a lot by going from "this always works" to "this works some times depending on your data".

Clearly a hardware trigger is easier than adding compression. Another option would be sending single-bit "above/below trigger" values. Then it's only 6 MB/s which is fine.

>>if the batteries need to be replaced every say 12 years spending 16,500$ onto replace a 75kWh battery is less than gas prices over that time span.

That is a far too simplistic way to look at the issue, and one that is at odds with how the majority of people budget their lives. So even if technically correct (and I have not done the math to confirm) it has little relvance to the resell value of the car.

Reality does not often matter, for example certain model of cars have become known for being "trash" simply because of a 1% failure rate of a part. Most people will never have the failure but the resell value of that model takes a HUGE impact because of the perception.

If electric vehicles are PERCEIVED by the public as being unreliable past 10 years old, the resell value of older battery electrics will approach zero. You need this resell market to support new sales. The exception to this is normally the "luxury" market which is somewhat insulated by resell value because the owners typically do not care. This is also why most of the battery electrics are in that market.

But if you want to replace the Camry, or the F150, Resell value is Critical as most people only keep their car for 5-6 years, and the typical car is sold 3-4 times in it life.

As it stands right now, the battery powered car needs at least 1 full replacement to get the same life of a typical ICE car. That replacement, is more expensive than an engine for an ICE, and it typically more than the car is worth, that makes these cars a ticking time bomb to most used car purchasers. Even if the cost of gas is more over the 12-15 life. That plays no part in the metric of used car value
It's not "close to Europe", it IS Europe.
My suggestion: Ditch the clock.

The combination of the clock and the difficulty makes this really unsatisfying for me to play. Todays puzzle, or the puzzle I was presented with, is quite tough (after 9 minutes I still haven't solved it) and the clock just adds stress, and for me not in a good way.

Since the keyboard doesn't surface on my android device having that clock is even more frustrating since you're stuck dragging little tiny targets, so the actual play is considerably slower on mobile than on desktop.

Edited to add: Perhaps I would enjoy this more if there was an "easy mode" with Create 3 5-letter words or 3 6-letter words. 20 letters for 3 words makes for at least one word that is going to be long.

Edit 2: after 20 minutes I still haven't solved it. This is really a tough puzzle.

> the USSR could starve its citizens to funnel wealth to its war machine.

That would a stronger point, if one could not also unfavourably compare the size of the USA's military and social welfare budgets. And also the ease of expanding the former, vs. the difficultly in expanding the latter.
Sergei can foot enough cash to finance the entire war. Together with Google he has far more resources than that.

He and Larry have control over Google with an interesting incorporation clause that allows them to basically override the board and make decisions for reasons other than money.

AFAIK, if he got mad enough (say, something happened to his family) Google can volunteer to help help Ukraine procure weapons (providing a channel), fund them [with or without private cash from the founders], and go all in.

Pepsi was once the 6th largest military in the world, and they are a fraction of Google in clout, cash, and connections.

(And there is precedent - Rockerfeller once told FDR that he could fund an army larger than FDR's, in the infamous Wall Street Putsch)

He also is friends with Sundar, Elon and Richard etc. The clique of the "super rich" have some 70% of all U.S. money, and over 10% of all the world's wealth.

While I don't see that happening, this is war. Nothing should be taken off the table. (Not comparable, but an example: no one expected BP to walk away from a 25B deal till yesterday.)

EDIT: Aside for that, Goog has engineers that would have a field day hacking into Russian infrastructure, government and military. Especially considering that they can basically MITM anything; between their DNS, their certs, Android, Chrome, the fact that all their software has a silent process always running and able to apply updates, etc.

In addition, any of these steps would be loudly applauded, and he could probably parley that into government cash, goodwill, favors etc.

In fact, the more I think about it, the less far fetched this sounds. I highly doubt Putin will risk starting up with Brinn.

Actually wireless is the classic example of the narrow waist as suggested by the sibling comments but it's not because of GNU Radio but I/Q signal.

All wireless communication are based on EM waves and can be reduced to I/Q or quadrature signal [1]. But rather than design by human as IP or text mentioned by the OP it is found in nature similar to our chromosomes pair. Using this wonderful I/Q signal concept you can even digitally create and control not only digital modulations but all the conventional analog modulations for examples AM, FM and SSB. If you want you can even control the EM signal impedance itself by using the I/Q signals and in microwave measurement world this modern technique is known as digital load-pull or source-pull.

The interoperability problems that you've observed is due to the Bluetooth and WiFi are using different modulation techniques. Bluetooth is using the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and WiFi is using OFDM. The former is good for low power and the latter is good for bandwidth. Initially WiFi standard also support FHSS but due to its bandwidth limitation the later WiFi standards (and also 4G/5G) are based entirely on OFDM.

ooh, any recommendations for existing tools for that?
Yes, Zig is also a complete C++ and ObjC/C++ toolchain. For some operating system it also comes with system headers (e.g. for building Win32 or macOS applications).

It should be possible to use Zig as clang replacement in traditional C/C++ build systems, just by replacing the compiler invocation with 'zig cc', although I heard this sometimes causes subtle problems because of the space between 'zig' and 'cc', so it probably needs to be wrapped with a script file or maybe alias.
I would guess it's being buoyed by people who think the upcoming peace talks will let Putin skate away without long term damage to Russia.

Either that, or oligarchs are moving hidden assets back to Russia. Either because they worry they will he discovered or to take advantage of the falling Ruble to buy the other half of the country. Or maybe it's because the market of people buying rubles is really thin right now, and this is an attempt by the Russian government to manipulate the price and public opinion.
I think SQLite can be a good idea, actually.

When I host small side-projects, I have PostgreSQL instance running on the same server and using the ident auth strategy so I avoid managing and keeping passwords and access the DB via SSH.

In hindsight, I should not have included the comment about Roko's Basilisk. It was really nothing more than a personal observation that had nothing to do with the topic at hand. As a result, this thread attracted a lot of people who have very strong opinions on an off-topic matter, and for that I'm sorry. It muddled an already tense discussion on whether any sane person should take the claim of inventing brightly lit homes in 2017 literally or not. For what it's worth, I would have deleted the Basilisk portion if people hadn't already responded to it.
