We’ll be firmly upper middle class, but I am aware that the housing market is pretty brutal at the moment.

If we moved, it wouldn’t be for financial benefit, looking for a quality of life improvement. Our bet would be that the social safety net (healthcare, public school quality, etc) would help blunt the higher cost of living.
A much safer alternative, which is arguably a decent approximation of the real thing, is to build your own potato cannon. I have a lot of fond memories of being seventeen and blasting potatoes to smithereens.

Perhaps look at HP zBooks; I have one that is almost 6 years old and still kicking; plenty of ports definitely not thin.

I just looked at the current offering and the only negative compared to mine is that it seems to no longer have any USB-A ports on the left; just on the Left.

Now they can come with Ubuntu pre-installed; at the time I had to install it myself.

Only downside is the price; they start around $2k; the one I purchased was $3k, and I justified it by hoping it would last me a while. Given that this was in 2016, I think I made out alright.

Only thing I would change is I'd like a 1440p display. At 15" I think a 4k is wated, but 1080p is a bit confining.

Also, if you do get one, do spend the extra $60 for the better IPS screen; all the reviews I checked said the base screen is garbage.
Even outside of impedence issues, you can't just use relays because then every switch is basically an unplug/replug, meaning that:

a) the display will flip out and spend multiple seconds re-syncing itself, and

b) the sources may take actions such as resizing the desktop, switching to the internal display, pausing the game, whatever.

Part of the point of a hardware KVM is that it negotiates its own connection to all of the devices involved, and only changes which signals are passed through at any given moment, resulting in instantaneous switchovers.

Now, a multi-input monitor can also do this, but then you have to deal with whatever compat issues are involved in commanding it to switch over DDC (see for example https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch), and it typically also won't be as fast as a hardware solution since input switching speed isn't a metric most people care about when monitor shopping.
> Just because it's published in Nature, doesn't mean it's wrong

Quoting this without understanding the philosophy of science, in context of discussion rejecting an equivalence between cable television and a peer-reviewed journal, seems like textbook whataboutism.

All published science is wrong to some degree. The point is to be less wrong, in gestalt, as time goes on. We push back the boundaries of ignorance to discover more. TV punditry echo chambers, where they revel in wrongness, are the antithesis of this process.
I wonder. Is ablation better than having the warhead in the center of some mass, detonating the warhead to drive some of the mass at very high velocity into the target?
Why the Afghan Army Did Not Fight
I actually just recently read a report from the late 80s that discussed a couple of scenarios and likely distribution of nuclear targets in each one.

The best case scenario (in the context of a full scale nuclear war with Russia) was a couple hundred successfully detonated strikes. The eastern seaboard, and all the metropolitan areas on the west coast were smoking holes in the ground. Pretty much anywhere with a sufficiently large military base, or significant government presence was on the "likely destroyed" list. There were a lot of random inland areas, which I assumed were targeting silos.

Basically, even in the 400 bomb scenario, the Boise field office of the IRS becomes the nation's highest authority.

Japanese konbini food is way better and healthier than convenience store & most cheap fast food in north america. That is what everyone is jealous of and leads to the fanboying.

Of course there is better stuff in japan, it's the fact that the super convenience food is way healthier and tastier and better than the cheap shit in many other countries is the key point.
And... rightly so? I mean, we know who we want to win here. There's a good side and a bad side. Have we really gone so far down the rabbit hole of "media neutrality" that a unilateral military invasion needs to be protected as... a form of speech, I guess?

No, that's wrong. Russia is wrong. Limiting Russia's ability to invade its neighbors isn't being "biased" in a discussion about different perspectives, it's doing the right thing.

At some point, there's a line drawn at the limit to tolerance. And Russia literally rolled tanks over it.
I've never encountered this. Just curious, does that mean your friends couldn't read Harry Potter too? Or is there different standards between different forms of media?
I am also a fan of emission regs. But, emissions regulations require that you leave emissions equipment intact, it does not require automakers to prevent you from touching those systems.
Actually, you are right. You should be allowed to change the software. You should still not be allowed to drive faster than 90 kph. And have to proof in case of question that you did not go faster than allowed. But the software should be free, there you are right.
Also, the info that is exposed to end-users is awful and seems to be getting worse. We have a 2021 Volvo and it has TPMS, but the TPMS info screen on the large infotainment display shows /4 orange dots, one on each tire/ when the pressure in ANY is too low. It doesn’t tell you the actual pressures, or what they should be, just that it needs maintenance. My other 2017 Chevy tells me the ~real-time (takes a few seconds to change) pressures of all 4 tires. I know that the Volvo has this info, and a screen more than capable of displaying that info, yet someone chose instead to treat the user like an absolutely helpless idiot and basically suggest that they should stop using the vehicle immediately and have it flatbed trailered to the nearest dealership /because a single tire is a few PSI low/.

I understand having idiot lights for idiots, and sure, do that on the dash, but please give end users any way to get some actual info. It’s the “door ajar” when the vehicle knows which door but doesn’t disambiguate to the user. It’s bad design, or malicious design to boost dealer profits.

I think in terms of force:mass you can't beat nukes. We know how to make them, we know how to put them on rockets, and we can can line them up to detonate a little away from the asteroid, while a landing would need to match velocity. Probably the best would be nuclear shaped charges a la Project Casaba-Howitzer, which I believe were initially explored as a vehicle propellant.

Of course they are. If the public perceives a company as immoral, then they'll refuse to buy from them. If a company has a bad enough reputation, they'll have to close down. Why? You see how it all goes back to profitability in the end?

I would argue that Target and Costco are trying to capture a certain demographic by paying/treating employees better. They could use that to get a better margin, for example. Or, maybe they see value in having a higher quality staff. Or maybe it's really just about getting brownie points for doing the right thing, and capitalizing that reputation.

If I didn't have kids I think I would still want to live. In this scenario worst case I could voluntarily check out. You don't need to be rich to have kids friend. Don't get me wrong they are definitely a cost of living increase but all they really need is attention and to feel loved. Everything else takes care of itself. Of course they need food and shelter but housing is affordable away from major urban areas.

This is not to underplay the difficulty raising kids on a below average wage job.
This looks really cool! I really like the free form chart builder. I work at Simply Wall St and we also make financial data easy to use and understand.

Yes! I'm a senior engineer working part time right now, exactly the way I want it.
Totally different type of music, but I feel the same way about rap.

Eminem's very early music feels amateurish, you can hear various audio issues. But it's some of its best work.

Now, anyone who makes an album can make something. That sounds absolutely spotless with about $2,000 worth of gear. Something's lost, there's something nice about hearing a mistake someone makes, but they don't have enough money to rerecord it so it stays on the record.

Rarely when I make my own music, I'll just leave some of the problems in there.

I remember hearing that, back in the bad old days of (first) cold war, there was a perverse kind of civic pride about being on the presumed target list. If your city was going to be nuked, then it had to be important.
That's probably why they aren't free VSTs, this is just for tinkering and nostalgic normies. All the artists making music for public distribution knows its faster and easier to do it all in their DAW

But! FLStudio has Transistor Bass. I don't know if it's available as a VST but IL has posted comparison videos online and I can't really hear any difference through my studio monitors.
I wrote to my representatives on both political sides, and all insisted that it “won’t affect encryption.” Either I don’t understand enough about EARN-IT, or they don’t understand enough about encryption, because that doesn’t make much sense from what I’ve read.
There were leaked documents of their plan. They expected it to be a 15 day exercise to take Ukraine. The pushback they have received from the entire world was unexpected. I'm not sure of their plans either, but you can be sure that the current events were not their plans. (Or maybe not so sure if everything is propaganda, but this doesn't seem like a well planned effort by any measure.)
This doesn't make sense as an argument. Without TCP DNS, you're stuck with an untenably low limit for how much data can fit in a DNS response. Not having TCP DNS breaks DNS. It's not an aesthetic argument.

My understanding is those files for previous versions go away so you can't reliably get packages for older versions even if you "pin it". If I'm wrong, please let me know, I would like to be wrong.

Oh I remember this. There's one positive I take from this.

A lot of people are understandably upset at, say, the GOP's latest wedge issue: health care for trans children [1]. It's one of many from gay marriage to trans athletes to bathrooms to mask mandates to vaccine mandates to abortion to guns.

The positive I take from this is that manufacturing issues like D&D and Satanism is nothing new and despite these continued and deliberate attempts at stoking the fires of a culture war, things have gotten better. White exceptionalism and the lasting echoes of slavery continue to this day, for sure, but it is better. Back in the 1980s people talked openly about how if Black people moved into their neighbourhood it would lower home prices. There was even a Family Ties episode about it [2] (objecting to the irrational fears, to be clear).

Here's another positive actually: in the 1980s it kinda sucked to be a nerd. Now at least it's more accepted and the Internet gives lots of people (not just nerds) access to communities and likeminded people that just wasn't possible then.

Of course there's a downside: cyberbullying, the envy culture of Instagram (eg hundreds have died taking selfies [3]) and so on but there's a ton of good too.

People fall into a trap where they'e nostalgiac for the past. Our memories are selective. This contributes to people getting trapped into the idea that things are simply getting worse. Even if it's true (which I don't believe it is), it doesn't help you to believe that and this kind of pessimism is no way to live.

You even see it with people stressing about the threat of nuclear war as a result of the war in Ukraine. To anyone who was alive in the 1980s, this is really old hat. We lived with this threat for literal decades with a much more aggressive Soviet Union.

But yes, anti-D&D hysteria. That takes me back.

Isolating problematic Cgo code / Jon Williams
I may be a bit of a purist but once you start downranking sites as a search engine it's a bit of a slippery slope. What I have learned is you have to listen to both sides of an issue.

I don't think that Weinberg even knew who all his customers were for his search engine. People have started using DuckDuckGo to unearth what Google is downranking. Quite simply they do not believe the downranking will end with Russian misinformation. This is also counter to what those who built the Internet believed.
Single use instant off capacitive power buttons is the stupidest design for a power switch I've ever seen. It's on the Xbox One (I think?) as well. A cat walking past or someone messing around with unrelated AV equipment accidentally brushing up against it are NOT valid use modes for a device that is running live with a lot of state that evaporates when you turn it off and takes more than 1s to restart. Dumb.

I am still running Debian stable on a T460p and all I can tell you is that there is hope.

I used to have major issues with suspend and dock on this machine, with Ubuntu and then Debian. I lost many work mornings to getting the machine to show anything on the screen after docking. I tried various drivers, tweaks, everything -- sometimes it would work for a while and then trouble would be back with the next reboot or kernel upgrade.

Then one day I hit the right tweak -- or Debian flipped the right bit -- and at least for the last ~year I've had zero problems with it. Dock, undock, suspend, resume, it's 100% there and I don't even think about it anymore.

I believe it's because I finally managed to turn off the Nvidia card and use the Intel one instead, but I can't be sure. To be honest, I'm afraid to touch the video setup or reinstall Linux because I might land right back in driver hell.
The amount of boilerplate Go code for a simple GET is astonishing. I love Go, but sometimes I miss the succinctness of Python.
From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong):

Bunker targets (mostly ICBM silos, heavily shielded targets like the bunkers under the White House, etc) would be targeted with a surface burst because bunkers would withstand air bursts.

Soft targets like airports, major cities, factories, ports, etc would be targeted using air bursts to maximize the destruction by preventing the shock wave and direct radiation from being shielded by geography and buildings.

Couldn't agree more. While it's true that Netflix does have some unique engineering problems to solve, this smells like "Paycheck Driven Development". When you employ 10,000 software engineers, if you don't have enough problems for them to solve, they'll start inventing problems.

Ask HN: Will accepting a systems engineer job make it harder to get a SWE one?
I'm a new grad (this spring) from a state school majoring in CS. I love software development, and although I only started in college, it's what I want to do in my career. However before then I wanted to be a 'sysadmin' and did a lot of Linux/DB/cloud stuff (starting with game servers and forums) so I have a good amount of experience in I guess what would be called "systems engineering." Hence why I was given a good offer at a proprietary trading firm doing just that. But I'm worried that I won't feel fulfilled or I'll have my professional growth stunted by accepting the position, and that recruiters/peers will see me as 'just' a systems engineer; even when I have a CS degree and will likely be writing code (just more along the lines of automation/scripts/some APIs) every day. On the other hand this is the best offer I've had yet (including over SWE roles) and I don't want to let it go.

Am I just overthinking this first professional role or are my fears that I'll be pigeonholed later justified?

One interesting thing is that loads of sites use OneTrust to implement illegal banners. However OneTrust has a compliant banner on their own site.

You probably don't even need to pay for it. These vehicles are modified; not factory delivered. They probably anticipate/expect the owner to have to reflash the ECU, and include a hand held tuner for exactly this reason.

I'm not familiar with Hennessey products, but this is how Ford Performance handles their "factory" supercharger kits. The tuner isn't included with the kit, but owners expected to have one.
Unbound will also pre-fetch your most common lookups prior to the TTL expiring so it's probably even faster than querying a third-party resolver
