We're long past that way of thinking. At all those companies, they are optimizing for operations not building goodwill. Honestly, this is probably more up openshift's direction right now.

I like all these Mozilla experiments, but I wish they would invest in keeping the good ones around like Firefox Send.
I'm honestly surprised that VR hasn't been a bigger impact on board games. Besides the obvious fact that you can more easily get people together, software is great at handling the non-gameplay related "administration" that takes time away from the fun. Things that come to mind: shuffling decks, misdeals, misunderstood rule-sets (I'm looking at you D&D 3.5).

I guess the downside is also pretty big: no face-to-face communication - which itself can be a detriment to gameplay in games like Poker or PvPvE games like Dead of Winter. Also the tactile-ness of board games is such a nice escape from everything being digitized these days.
My take is that RISC-V is not that great of an architecture and might never compete at the high end. (e.g displace ARM, Intel, POWER, etc.)

On the other hand there is a vast market for low-end CPUs that have specializations to be disk controllers and things like that. If the ISA and all the IP required to make specialized devices is free and particularly if there is a culture in which it is easy to learn how to do that then RISC-V will have a special place.

My next spatial computing project is going to be RP 2040 based mostly because I have the parts in stock (other projects are blocked because of supply chain issues) but I am really an AVR8 fanatic and the only path forward I see to higher performance AVR8 systems is a soft core running on an FPGA where very hard tasks (vision? comms?) get offloaded to the FPGA and that can be a very appealing architecture where somebody might prefer RISC-V particularly if the tooling and accelerator integration are there.)
Do you have an example you've run into where a DSL such as Svelte's or Vue's has actually stopped you from doing something? Would be genuinely interested to see it as I've never run into such a situation myself.
Reminds of one time I was interviewing someone and I asked why he had left his previous job. He said they were building a device to block cell phone usage in prisons, and the inmates figured out who was making the hardware and slipped word out to their enforcers outside the prison with the name of the manufacturer. Soon all the employees started getting death threats. So, he quit.
They once wrote a note over on https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/09/caniuse-and-mdn-compat-dat... about why and how they differ.

This is useful! How does one learn "you can make links or forms submit but not cause browser navigation by having your server respond with a 204" without reading it in an offhand comment on HN?

I mean the status code can be looked up easily, but where would we have read about the "submit but don't cause nav" feature?

Edge cases in ideal conditions happen at random. When there's a conflict of interest, or any other systemic problem, so-called edge cases happen more often, because the situation consistently gets pushed to the edge, so to speak.

There's no shortage of workers getting pushed to take risks much bigger than any potential reward.
If my country, unprovoked, invaded a sovereign nation and threatened any intervening countries with a nuclear response, I would be out in the fucking streets. The people in Russia doing this are heroic, but more need to be doing it.
Well, technically this is an MIT publication, but MIT Turing Award winning cryptographer Silvio Micali along with some other MIT folks actually created a different cryptocurrency. It is also a type of proof of stake but arguably more advanced than that of Ethereum.

Very fast (seconds), good programming support and documentation, very tiny fees. It seems that bots or people automatically bury my comments if I mention the cryptocurrency by name on HN, so I am going to leave that for people to look up if they are interested.

Once they start charging for [MDN Plus](https://www.ghacks.net/2022/02/21/mdn-plus-mozilla-plans-to-...) they'll not only be able to afford it, but also give their board well deserved raises. After all, user surveys keep indicating that what Mozilla users want more than anything else is to pay for User generated MDN content.

Decades later, and many, many of both residental, office and infrastructural networks still use Ethernet and it's not going anywhere away soon.

Respect. Rest in peace.
It can't. Not in a consistent manner. When diffing user provided immutable data you need a user provided key. Otherwise it can't tell the difference between a new list entry and a nested update. You could treat every nested update as a new item but that is incredibly wasteful as it throws away all descendants. This is something all non-fine-grained rendering libraries have to deal with be it React, Vue, Svelte, or Lit.
I went through their account creation process, was no longer able to start Minecraft. It wanted me to buy a new copy.

After contacting MS, they recommended I downgrade to the old version of the launcher, and that worked. I assume upgrading will be forced at some point, and I'll probably lose access again.

This transition doesn't seem to be well handled, although I was glad that I was able to actually get hold of a human support rep.

Email sw@seanw.org with a short description of 1) your project and 2) how you think I can help. I can get back to you within one working day to arrange a call to discuss a quote and how we can work together. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.
I offered to take a loan when I bought my car knowing there was a kick back but ultimately they wouldn’t offer me any incentive to do it so I didn’t. It really depends on how the compensation model works for the dealer salesman. If he gets no extra money he won’t bother to push it
Agree, it is a great article; a bit surprised at some of the strong negative comments to it.
Yes, and nuance is dead.
Because git is designed to be decentralised. You can push and pull changes to your coworkers' laptops, merge everything, and then push it to a centralised place like Github. Great for when you work at an office with limited internet connectivity or develop your code across multiple mirrors (gitlab + github, for example).

Consider the way the Linux kernel is developed. Change sets are committed and emailed back and forth, and eventually merged. The merged git repository is the official, released source code, but before that change sets are just (attachments to) emails. Then, at some point, someone pushes the changes to Github, containing thousands of merges from tons of people.

Git was designed to work this way, and cryptographic signatures solve the problems that can arise from allowing random change sets. You can sign the commits themselves, as well as the pushes (although signed pushes aren't as universally supported by version control software).
It constantly amazes me how great ideas and inventions stem from the humblest beginnings.

2) Together, they get it working and it goes on to be used globally

That was the perception of the employee. Clearly the whole thing is way out of normal, but what do you expect from the manager when they are informed that one of their employees are taken hostage? Become a trained hostage negotiator and one-man-army?

Later the article says:

> But the report says that one of the company's partners "made arrangements" with IS to secure his release and let the company continue its work in Mosul.

So no, the person wasn't abandoned.

There is a lot of questions about the manager's conduct before the kidnapping. How the heck did things end up there? But first thing I would expect from the manager after the kidnapping is to find a professional to handle the situation. And the professional very well might advice the manager to cut communications.

To be honest I haven't played it in ages, but there was a time when I enjoyed it with some friends on our self hosted server.

It is still successful and it is probably a completely transformed game by now, but ultimately I think they want to lure people into their environment. I also wouldn't want my kids playing it because of the monetization.
Does the Remarkable 2 have "templates" for pages?

A couple years ago I went from a largely "paperless" life to using a daily planner, largely for my daily work and personal TODO lists, and have found the process very valuable.

I toyed around with making a custom template for my daily notes/lists, and using the RocketBook ecosystem (maybe with just my own printed templates and using their app for scanning), but in the end just stuck with pre-printed planner books.

I'm just getting ready to order my third planner, and this topic comes up and tempts me with a technological solution to a largely solved problem, but makes me wonder what benefits it might have.
The only thing they say is, The Programma 101 was used in important projects of that time like the Apollo project at NASA... Also: Usually this machine is called "programmable calculator"... As I remember, these were popular (in a much more compact form) through the 70s - 90s.
I cannot imagine anything less they I would want to bring from the office back to working remotely than mid-meeting breakout groups, to be honest.

Edit: Except for the guy that microwaved fish. Fuck that guy.
Inspired by the news that Google Workspace will soon require JS in order to log in, I made this to send our users for diagnosing issues. Nothing fancy.

I think this is another unprecedented NATO act. Clearly they are taking the situation very seriously and the more eastern member states are very spooked.

We can only hope it does not escalate to open war with NATO and their readiness is deterrent enough to stop Putin from going further.

> Should be the boss interested in tech? He has you to be interested in tech. And the boss makes decisions and manages money.

A good leader doesn't make decisions most of the time. You can lead people who work on things you aren't interested in, but doing that means you need to give up control and let them make decisions.

One of the biggest frustrations I've had to deal with in my career are working with upper level managers who aren't very tech savvy but insist on making technical decisions against the advice of the people whose job it is to provide technical leadership.
I have a neurological disorder called visual snow syndrome that's the root cause, nobody really understands where it comes from but the current theory is a dysfunction of metabolism in part of the visual cortex. It causes all sorts of weird visual stuff like the eponymous 'tv snow' and other distortions as well as intractable headaches, apparently it has similarities with certain kinds of migraine. As for the photophobia it's quite a difficult sensation to describe but for me its acute form is an unusual sensation that's in the same category as pain without being pain itself - it's like the sensation of looking directly at the sun but with ordinary light sources that don't bother other people. The chronic form is less intense, it basically just makes concentrating in a bright environment exhausting after a while and it trashes my focus, making me headachy and irritable. As a result I never have strong lights on even at night, and I also don't drive in the dark because the glare from the headlights can mess up my vision for minutes at a time which is obviously not safe.

Fluorescent tubes are among the worst offenders for messing with my concentration, though anything with a pronounced 50 Hz flicker or too high a colour temperature isn't great for me. The kind of cheap lights offices traditionally use are particularly bad which is part of why I'm full time WFH now!

There's some nuance here.

A public blockchain is supposed to be "trustless" in that you don't have to trust humans to be honest, because the system is harshly fair and enforced by computation and the laws of physics that no one can trivially bullshit their way around. The important function of proof of work is that it solves the Byzantine generals problem such that everyone can trust the system without caring much about who else is using or controlling it.

Proof of stake is problematic because it shifts the burden of trust back into the hands of humans, and we all know that "the hearts of men are easily corrupted".
