I had no clue what you were referencing. I'm using Brave, and I have it automatically turn on the 'Speedreader' mode. When I disabled it, I then saw what you are referencing. I know the other browsers also have a mode that gets rid of all the junk and lets you just read the articles. Maybe you should give that a try?
Hehe. I like to think I'm not that much of an old timer, but I do remember having to download the driver for my sound card (Aureal Vortex<$something>) and compile an out-of-tree-module to get sound.

For a long, long time I was happy to even get XFree86 and later Xorg to work without 3D acceleration. By the time I started to care, helpful people from the Internet had taken care of most of the revolting details.

And when proper 3D acceleration became important (compiz was just gorgeous), vendors were reasonably happy to supply drivers for their GPUs.

In essence, though, I agree, Linux-on-the-desktop has gotten so much more easy over the past ~20 years.
Parliament can pass the bill before the referendum, for example in the AV referendum.

The great benefit doing it that way is the voters will be clear about what's being voted on.

The Democratic Party never adopted it at all. The activists that did were largely outside of the Party and opposed by the elected Party officials from day one.

I am interested in this way of looking at intelligence. Do you have any references which one can study where this is discussed i.e intelligence is affected by the physical nature of where/what it is situated in.

Another way of saying this is if I were to build atleast an animal level (cognitive or skill), I need to first give it tools to sense & manipulate it's environment and whose output it can understand. Has anyone worked on this before ?
Probably shouldn't have just left it sitting outside where it could break then. Absolute negligence.
News Feed Eradicator is a great chrome extension that lets you unblock websites for a set period of time. I check my twitter and hackernews for 5 minutes in the morning everyday. Otherwise if I move to those websites they are blocked.

I removed social media from my phone and mobile browser social media use without being logged in is so painful or restrictive that I'm rarely temped to do much other than check the top few posts on the reddit homepage.

Those two things helped a ton with my social media usage.
I love this. I put an Intel Atom mini-ITX board in an old G4 cube about 13 years ago. For a time it gave my wife a modern-ish machine (though a Hackintosh) with a style that was relatively unique.

It sadly lives in our garage right now as we don't really need it. Occasionally I think about dusting it off and replacing the internals with a Mac Mini, just for fun.

Thank you, I'm going to ask about this in interviews from now on. If they say # of features is more important than quality, I'm not taking the gig.
Yeah, I think you're kinda hitting the nail on the head here. The idea that people should be allowed to control ideas or concepts is wrong. We need to move past this as a species, so much of what is relevant to the day to day lives of people on this planet exists in a world where scarcity is artificial. That's not okay. Artificial scarcity is not something we should allow.

By threat model I mean, who are you worried about attacking you.

I get that every linux user could be attacked. But why would someone with the relevant knowledge that could pull this off attack a given linux user? Why are you worried about it? (Not trying to be sarcastic, trying to get a sense of what threats you are worried about).
That's the opposite of reality though. Mark Twain has a good quote here:

"It is murder all along the line. Here are countless multitudes of creatures, and they all kill, kill, kill, they are all murderers. And they are not to blame, Divine One?” “He has one code of morals for himself, and quite another for his children."
This is legitimately nice. Thanks for sharing it.

A lot of times, this is just shifting the problem to the future and making life harder.

We have a team like this -- their processes often failing, and their error reporting is lacking in important details. But they are not willing to improve reporting / make errors nicer (=with relevant details), instead they have to manually dig into the logs to see what happens. They waste a lot of time because they "shy away from making things look nicer."
Wow, thank you so much! You feedback is really great, you made a very good point about the "open request" button.

It is however safe to say that there are a lot more eyes on those 400 npm packages than there are on the Windows source code. Moreover with the spread of bug bounty programs I would expect that the likelihood of security bugs in widely used open source software to be further reduced. It should be a lot easier for a bounty hunter to find bugs in open source packages that are used by some target companies than to find them without access to the source code.

> The character of Superman isn't used to explore ideas from the Talmud or religious ideas, as far as I know.

I guess exploration was not quite the right word, and this is a fair point for sure. I didn't mean it to sound quite as explicit.

What I suppose I mean is that there's a sort of narrative exposition of it. It's not subconscious, I think is what I mean, even if it is not explicit. Growing up the way Siegel did it would have been difficult to ignore a whole set of stories and cultural associations and dialogues.

The parallels about Superman himself are telegraphed, as you say. He's a refugee, he partially assimilated, and the main brake on his ability to get involved is a very explicit understanding that he cannot break cover without risk (though this is much more evident in the cinema Superman films I think). Both Siegel and Shuster were from families who had changed their names to avoid discrimination.

The stories are simple but I am not sure they start off from anything more than that experience. And the notion of justice and injustice is as I understand it very much something the Talmud concerns itself with. As well as at least one story about whether a largely absent Hebrew god should be allowed to to interfere.
It’s because of how accounting works (opex vs capex). I don’t know if there are tax reasons but a major reason opex is preferred to capex is that the former is tied directly to cash flows. Cash flows are the lifeblood of a business being profitable and makes it easy to balance costs and revenues whereas capex is a long term investment (ties up your capital).

There are secondary order effects going on here to explain this. Also, in your example the 50k number isn’t including the rack space rental costs, technicians to maintain the hardware, and OPs people to keep the deployed software running (software updates etc).

Is it? The special military operations (US didn't declare war anytime in the past 3 decades) that the US has done are not popular.

People have wanted out of Afghanistan, Syria, etc for a long time now. Sure some TV anchor thinks its cool how missiles look when they kill non-europeans but the actual population of the US did not.

It's time now to figure out how to not have these issues in the future. We don't need to re-examine the past anymore to convince gen. pop. it was wrong; they know.
I've worked with plenty of workers like this. They all got 10x work done in relation to everyone else, because no one else wanted to touch their stuff, they owned the branch and never made pull requests because it caused too many merge conflicts as they were sooooo fast at getting things implemented.

Their code was full of bugs which they fixed immediately, causing silent regressions. They never wrote tests.

The other 5 places they had copy pasted that buggy code still remained buggy.

Also whenever they spaghetti code themselves into a corner, they spent 10x longer refactoring stuff as a result.

In effect, it's not that they got 10x work done, it's that they make everyone else get 10x less done.
and that wasn't legally binding either

if parliament didn't want to implement it: it could have passed another act that repealed the first

personally, I find the "it wasn't legally binding" argument to be sophistry of the worst kind
This is a great point. Sometimes a more elegant solution will come to mind, if you only give yourself the free time to relax, explore the problem, and find it.

In my experience, trying too hard or being attached to opinions is certainly a limitation with just about anything.

For me the perspective offered in that video was simply to be aware of this perspective existing, i.e. a paradigm shift. I don't consciously try to use it - I am aware that I don't have the talent for it - but it has proven a useful tool when reflecting on situations and experiences. Certainly made me put a lid on some of the hot-headed idealism I had in my even-younger days. :)
Many commentors have given you advice at higher level.

On a tactical level,

First work with your development team on setting up temporary stores(autosaves) workflows either at the browser/ app level and/or in the backend with redis/Kafka etc.

If your users can think they can safely refresh and un submitted forms would be there , then they won't worry that much.

Secondly from a devops point of view, there is a lot of things you can do improve tooling for your teams. Canarying deployments, CI/CD automation, performance monitoring (APM) robust traceability and observablity, better error tracking and deeper data captures(session /request replays), to help solve bugs faster, production like environments with good mock data, failure point simulations with network etc, isolated dev environments (virtual clusters) . Ability to run code in a PR etc. [1]

The idea is you catch bugs before it goes to users or before the user notices.

----

From a biz perspective your boss will not change his view, even with some bugs you are better than the market and decision makers in companies buy a product for features, not because it is bug free , they don't care because the buyer is not the user. Your boss will only start caring if you start losing customers over bugs.

There is no right answer, many times your boss is right, sometimes not fixing bugs can explode technical debt and slow your growth or kill the product too, very hard to know that balance.

---

[1] these are things devops could do without product engg involvement for the most part, writing units tests or fixing architecture is not a practical initiative for you to take up although it may pay off more .
I think they made the right choice in designing it around providing an adjustable mechanical resistance.

As it's primary goal is for working out and charging cell phones I think it's best compared to a normal workout bike, which outputs all of the energy as heat (and sound).

Sure, the usable energy is minimal, but it's higher than zero and it can meaningfully top up your smaller electronics devices.
In the book the soverign individual the author speaks at depth that a "Monopoly on violence" is actually what keeps society safe.
That's because the sliders only go down to 1, not 0 (if you change the HTML and set the "min" value to 0 you can get to 0% or 100%). I guess it makes sense because none of the answers could possibly be 0 as far as I can see.

Or perhaps as an optimisation he could set the total to 0% or 100% immediately if certain answers are set to 0 - for example, if no user need the feature, it should be 0%, or if the time and cost is 0, it should be 100% (although that's absurd), etc.
I bought this book and remember giving up on it pretty quickly because I hated the style of the writing. Don't even recall why.

Years later I heard this youtube essay which I'm just connecting the dots now is basically just a recap of that book. I personally liked the 20 minute essay way more and I think it gives a pretty good summary of the key points:

I'm not super fond of the notion of IP, and I have lots of criticisms of "the western IP regime"; however, it's incorrect to frame this as "imposing western IP regime" in any sense that implies that "imposing one's regime" is immoral. In other words, this is just a trade agreement, and all parties have the right to impose their conditions. Trade only ensues if both parties are content with the conditions. Arguing that one party's conditions are "imposing" while the other's aren't is nonsensical.

Your suggestion that the west should be required to trade with countries which don't respect western IP policies is actually an imposition insofar as it imposes on western nations' freedoms of association, but allowing countries to determine their own trade provisions isn't an imposition.

I'll hazard an analogy: if I refuse to debate certain people on the Internet who don't adhere to my rhetorical standards, am I "imposing my regime on everyone else" (and thus I should be required to debate everyone who wants to debate me)?

The question HN should be asking: Why aren't there more technologists in politics? Why is the will-to-power so often absent in us?

Personally, I think we've all grown up assuming a safe, stable, neo-liberal capitalist environment that gives us a space to play with our toys, and indeed, strongly encourages it. This is not a position of power, but the position of a bright child.
I'm a web designer/builder and my wife and I invented a non-tech related, physical product that we brought to market. Feel free to email me.

After we built our prototype we hired a local machinist to make a "mold" that would produce higher quality (sellable) examples.

We then made (and sold) those in our basement for months, until we had enough traction to hire a CAD designer to make a CAD file for the purpose of finding a manufacturer.

We started cold calling local manufacturers in the US and were basically told to "f*ck off" as we were too small.

We finally got a lead by contacting another business with a "similar" product (or at least process). They referred us to their manufacturer in China, and we jumped on it.

We ordered generic samples of similar products they make and were happy. We then had samples made (after paying for the "mold" to be machined) and those looked good (we lucked out) and then finally ordered our first 750, and then subsequently higher quantities.

We then had another business owner who had experience with importing help us with customs/importing etc.

Ask for help! Find other small biz owners, they're usually eager to assist.

Are the various "small" nuclear reactor projects seen as a way to tide over the gap until fusion (which has a similar number of startups and organisations working on it) takes over?

> Europe needs conflict to thrive, but as an European I'd prefer this conflict to be external to Europe.

Eh, I'm not sure you get the tech benefits of a war when it's a foreign war of choice.

I mean, WW2 coincided with computers, radar, rocketry, modern control theory, jet engines, and so on because in an existential war you throw everything you've got into winning it.

But you look at wars of choice, like Iraq? All that came out of it was moderate upgrades to prosthetic limbs and drones. The major innovations of the period, like smartphones and cloud services, were unrelated to the wars.
1. I agree with you to a certain extent. Saying "what-about-ism" to somewhat invalidate any discussion making parallels to other events is not good. Look the premise "...not justify the largest invasion on European soil since WWII". As long as our values align together, we'll condemn but tolerate.

2. Again, as long as we morally condemn the act but tolerate actions not affecting me ("...has not posed the risk of global thermonuclear war"), it's ok.

3. I agree with you.

4. Now, this is an interesting take. I don't know why Russia thinks the EU is its enemy. I don't think the EU wants to go to war with Russia over resources. The other side of the coin: back in the 90's, US + EU + Russia "agreed" no more expansion to the East. NATO kept expanding itself. If I (Russia) was to make an stand, I'll definitely find a diplomatic way to avoid more eastern countries to join NATO. That doesn't work? Well, Since I won't want anyone to put any type of weapon just in case I go "rogue", I'll use any means necessary to avoid that.

5. I agree with you. The EU is so intertwined it'll be next to impossible for someone like Hitler to raise up again. None of us know war and we don't want to know it. Much less a nuclear war.

6. There so much Russia will take until things get sour for the rest of the world. If Russia "wins" this will polarize the world again (Cold War 2). If Russia "loses", this will create or increase bitterness against the West. Other countries will start making alliances to counteract NATO's economical power.

I'm trying to be as impartial as possible. The conflict is complex. The US won't tolerate any type of action near them (ie. Cuba) nor the EU for that matter.

I can't imagine what Ukrainians are going through right now. Let's hope the conflict doesn't escalate and they can agree to stop this war.

Nonsense. It's just easy to blame refactoring when it breaks something. "You fool! Why did you change things? It was perfectly fine before.". Much harder to say "Why has this bug been here for 10 years? Why did nobody refactor the code?" even when it would have helped.

Not refactoring code also sacrifices long term issues in return for short term risk reduction. Look at all of the government systems stuck on COBOL. I guarantee there was someone in the 90s offering to rewrite it in Java, and someone else saying "no it's too risky!". Then your ancient system crashes in 2022 and nobody knows how it works let alone how to fix it.

Halting immigration would do more for nationalism and unity, not weaken it. These might sound bad but you need them badly if you're planning on any real wars.
> You never see the same thing against someone running ZFS without regular scrubs or in RAIDZ1.

ZFS doesn't have these kinds of hidden gotchas, and that's the key difference. Yeah ok somebody's being dumb if they never scrub and find out they have uncorrectable bad data come from two drives on a raidz1. That's exactly the advertised limitation of raidz1: it can survive a single complete drive failure, and can't repair data that has been corrupted on two (or more) drives at once.

If you are in the scenario, as the GP was, that you have a two-disk mirror and regular scrubs have assured that one of the disks has only good data, and the other dies, ZFS won't corrupt the data on its own. If you try replacing the bad drive with another bad drive, eventually the bad drive will fail or produce so many errors that ZFS stops trying to use it, and you'll know. The pool will continue on with the good drive and tell you about it. Then you buy another replacement and hope that one is good. No surprises.
