I expect a lot of it comes from people not being aware of what Shift+Enter does in Slack. There is a setting in Slack which makes Enter break lines, and Ctrl+Enter send the message. IMO it should be the default. It could break away with the habit of standalone hellos and with big messages being broken into 7 smaller ones (each generating a notification, and making it harder to judge when the other person stopped forming their message). Instead, sending a message would be a separate action from composing it.

Of course, it's inevitable that some people won't appreciate other's time and attention, but that's probably unsolvable.
Is it possible to limit the search to daytime temperatures? I care much more if it's 40*F during the day than during the night.
I can add a similar story: from time to time I'm volunteering on a russian school sail ship, that's been sailing around Europe for the last 20 years, from festival to festival, teaching people from every origins to sail and live together in a 3-mast replica. Many harbour-cities in Europe have send messages to that ship that it was no longer welcome, because of its flag, regardless of the ship having no ties to Russia's government, not having been to Russia for the last 10 years, having Ukrainian crewmembers, etc.

Funny enough, this very morning a former sailor on that ship wrote a letter, which ended with these words:

> It is with a heavy heart that I learnt today that Russian ships are not welcomed anymore to the Tall Ships Races and maritime festivals because of the war in Ukraine. Shtandart is a private ship, built and operated privately by sailing enthusiasts, with no connection whatsoever with the Russian government. I cannot imagine how that exclusion can have any impact on the Russian government decisions. I can see though very clearly how that exclusion can cripple the Shtandart project financially, making its life changing mission impossible.

> I see banning the Shtandart from our maritime festivals and the Tall Ships Races like banning Tarkovsky from our cinemas, Tchaikovsky from our music halls, Kandinsky from our art museums or Dostoevsky from our libraries.

Premonitions...
As a person who carried a Discman for quite a few years, I do not miss CDs. I can only imagine that these CD buyers are either listening exclusively at home, or immediately ripping to FLAC.

I guess having the album art is nice, but if that's your main motivation why not go all the way and collect vinyl?
2014+, but that doesn’t really matter.
That's acceptable in the real world because virtually nobody uses IPv6, and people who run into IPv6 problems will just avoid musl.

I don't trust them enough to risk spending money on more re-masters. I always go for the original.

Interestingly, I've grown to dislike music that is too perfectly produced. I like that the singing isn't perfect, there's some background noise picked up by the mikes, etc.

For example, listen to some of the Jefferson Airplane albums from the 60s. Those albums would never be produced today, because the band is a bit of a mess. The harmonies are out of sync, the pitch is imperfect, the timing erratic, everything is off kilter. But that rawness is, strangely enough, what makes the albums so endearing and a treasure. It's like the band has come by your house and is just having fun in your living room.

So much better than the antiseptically perfect modern productions, along with that awful ubiquitous autotuning. Barf. C'mon, dare to have a sour note here and there.
BFD: The Next Generation of Software Development (2020)
I found myself talking randomly to an Enron engineer years ago right around the time they were imploding. He described working on a similar project. Pump the water up in the dead of night. Let it flow down the next day.

Then, well, certain facts came to light and the project got halted. At the time we were talking, he was reporting to an empty office to search for a new job.
Amusing article.

Turbo Pascal was an awesome IDE. I remember writing a lots of DOS software for it. Including a graphical shell (like early Windows).
That doesn't excuse applying double standards.
I’d bet the ID.3 is more of a testing platform for the EV related driving experience than a vehicle intended to appeal to a mass audience. If VW fully commits to EV across the range, the EV in that family will be styled more like the GTI than the ID.3 (which would probably be pretty sweet).
I've been using x2x https://github.com/dottedmag/x2x
It's really old and has it's perks but it works for my setup.
That's what I'm going to do: replace DDR and NVMe myself to save a bit.

I am also keen on something between a NUC and mini-tower, that is small enough to carry, powerful enough to build heavy code bases. You do need find a display with keyboard etc to use them, which works for home and office and lab settings well. Or, just use it as a build machine connected to the network, headlessly(no need keyboard,mouse and display)
Yes, there are certainly people like that (me included). There's even a job board for it https://4dayweek.io/
Sponsorblock is a similar premise, just crowdsourced rather than ai.
I have over 1000 DVDs. The vast majority I bought used. They're a lot more durable in my experience, as long as you don't abuse them. Slight scratches can be buffed out. Some have a reflective foil layer printed on the "up" side (rather than integrated into the plastic layers), and if you damage that, it's hosed.

Store your DVDs in sleeves or in the original cases, and you shouldn't have any problems. Don't leave them laying around or stack them.

At some point I want to rip all my DVDs and put them on a media server (~4-6TB worth), but it's a serious undertaking.
I use a Onkyo DXC390 CD player/changer (going strong after 3 years or so). Still available to buy new (albeit at a ridiculously inflated price) but should be available for ~ $100 used. DAC sounds fine to me though speakers but I have a discrete DAC/amp for headphone listening, although honestly I can't tell the difference between that and the CD player headphone socket.

I used a Yamaha CDX-450 for years, although I dint think it had digital outputs. Was built solidly. Dove deep down the Sony megachanger rabbit hole but never pulled the trigger on getting one - have a huge following though and parts/advice are readily available.
Where is haskell :) ?
Ditch adblock pro and use ublock Origin (origin!), you will only be getting more wins and not losing anything. I suggest reading up on the various lists to enable outside of the default ones that are enabled. Don't turn them all on though, that is a LOT of "stuff" to block, even on modern machines and will noticeably slow down your page load.
Didn't know that! I've been translating several C and C++ (mostly C) codebases (embedded), and haven't seen those. Probably because C, and older C++ specs / design patterns.
Same here. I started buying UHDs because they meet or exceed theatrical resolution. I stopped buying DVDs and BluRays knowing that someday I'd have a TV where I'd see the pixels.
Sometimes folks like that actually aren’t Luddite’s, but deeply understand a process.

Case in point, I have a former high school friend who runs a farm that’s about 50 acres as his primary business - without major machinery. They have quads and pickup trucks, but most applications where one would use a tractor are now done with animal power.

The result? It’s actually cheaper to operate as grass is cheaper than diesel. He’s not getting rich, but makes as decent living.
> So you would need to do all the heavy lifting to build your own intrusive lists, they are not, in fact, supplied with the language.

that's where we disagree I guess - the heaviest lifting you could do in C++, assuming zero standard library, is to me still orders of magnitude better, more readable and more maintainable than whatever can be done with macros in C.
Ask HN: Has Google Books restricted in-book search?
I do a lot of searching of Google Books. I've noticed that in the last month or so, I'm seeing a lot more inside-the-book searches that give me a "no preview available for this page."

I even seen this when searching for terms that are literally on the page I'm previewing. They show up in my results list but still have "no preview available" and no page number.

Is this some policy change? A bug? I can't find any announcements about this. It definitely makes Google Books far less functional for me.

Of course, I'd love to live in a world where Google doesn't have this ridiculous pseudo-monopoly on book search. But this is not the world we live in.
> telling people that the insinuation that their existence is somehow so controversial that people can just casually suggest that discussing it in public is akin to discussing abortion and gun laws

Discussing your existence?!? Who the F said your existence can't be mentioned?!?

You're really not doing your cause any good with these ever more ridiculously hysterical arguments.
Russian authorities really are pulling all the stops to appear as assholes and cut off bridges, aren't they?

I'm not sure how you can't extrapolate from what I posted and see how conversational deletion can apply to the end of sentences?
> There is no way you can hide ads and sponsored posts on Facebook

Why is that? How come it's possible to block tweets but not FB posts? Is FB using some vastly different technology than Twitter/Reddit/etc that makes it impossible? If so then what's stopping Twitter/Reddit from doing the same?

Anybody who knows about adblocking care to explain this?
It's interesting and I like it. It does seem to be rather opinionated without saying so. The PHP example requires an http library I hadn't heard of (rmccue/requests). Copy/paste of that code doesn't work unless you know how to find and install that library. The related tool they reference, however, does work using the PHP curl library.

I presume they were trying to keep the code to 4 lines or so. The curl library in PHP is rather verbose and requires 5 to 8 lines (depending on if you try to catch the error).

Unlike others here, I would be fine with a pay cut. Acknowledging the pay cut makes it more likely that the reduced output expectation is honest, for one thing.
That’s good to know.
the outrage this cancellation has created luckily made the university peddle back on this, but no info on if the Prof got his job back, or if the university apologized for their behavior.

It's incredibly difficult to fire people in Italy but somebody should at least apologize because this is a terrible look.

Certainly would think twice before studying literature, or philosophy at such a place. (triple skull emoji)

> I was going to write exactly this.

Same. I made the mistake of getting a Dell 2-in-1 without trying it first.

Whether on Windows or on Linux, it's a pain to use.

I found serious ACPI bugs (not just the kind that can be easily fixed with iasl) which made me conclude power management could not work reliably, whether on Windows or on Linux.

It's was usable at all on Windows 10 only thanks to Microsoft extremely careful approach: waking from suspend every now and then, checking the % of battery consumed, giving up on suspend and powering off should the hardware be caught lying about the power envelope while having been "sleeping".

No wonder why Dells risk catching fire if put in a backpack...
Much nicer than ERCOT's imho.

'The ratio is not appropriate in my very subjective opinion." you are making up a ratio without data to back it up and then say it is not appropriate?
Russians are also dying. That means Ukraine is committing genocide on the Russians, right?
The functionality was explicitly not added by the developer.

Maybe he is willing to consider it now, I don't know.
Apparently some "smart" people are destined to repeat history.
Hey thanks, nice work btw. As others pointed out, heat index is a decent indicator I think.

Not to 'steal' ideas from the other site, but having that little year avg chart pop up on click is a really killer feature for showing which months are best. For example, I'd much rather live somewhere with 4 solid "uncomfortable" months and 8 solid comfortable, than somewhere with 2 on, 1 off.
Or, as the article says, EDNS.
Pumped storage - always interesting highly doubt it will be realized in any real meaningful way (might be some interesting one off projectS). We've stopped building dams and its too difficult to site close to markets.
> e.g. sworn brotherhood, which is the form that same-sex affectionate relationships usually take in traditional societies.

I'm fascinated by what you mean here.

> Since same sex marriage is not inherently sexual, what's wrong with just saying "my sworn life partner and legal spouse"?

There's nothing wrong, per se, with the phrasing you outlined. The problem is the double-standard: straight couples can talk about their marriages without fear of repercussion under this law, because heterosexual relationships are normalized and not seen as inherently sexual.

However, same-sex relationships are sexualized by default in the minds of many people, and mentioning their existence (regardless of the lingo!) is tantamount to "talking about sex" in the minds of the conservative, religious right.

There aren't any specific words that are being banned in this law, despite the "don't say gay" nomenclature the media and some others use. But it is a de-facto ban on acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people and/or relationships exist; the terminology used isn't actually the issue at hand.
Solar and wind and hydro and nuclear aren't carbon neutral though, they're zero carbon (again excluding external costs of production, etc). With carbon-neutral the amount of biosphere C stays constant, with carbon zero is may potentially go back down as natural or artificial carbon capture processes happen.

It's not a distinction that is made in public discourse commonly but matters if, for example, it's powering a carbon capture system or producing methane from atmospheric gasses. Doing that via a carbon-neutral system would be a net negative energy relatively to carbon usage case, whereas using a nuclear reactor or solar plant to do it when it's overproducing relative to immediate grid load would work out.
Yes, there is. I'm not just making this up. I've gotten takes from "musl people", including Rich Felker, that this was a deliberate choice, and that not only is musl's behavior of pretending that truncated UDP responses are valid acceptable, but that it's somehow better (maybe for performance?) --- that you can always serve "getaddrinfo" off of just the truncated UDP result. Which is, of course, false.

There is a weird thing going on; maybe you can relay this back to the #musl channel you're talking on, and they can keep discussing.
> get my CD collection out of the attic

Yes, please get your CDs out of the attic. Same is true for your photographs, cameras, paintings, and many other things.
Things can be broken in more than one way not just solely when the thing broken is robustness (for some value of robust).
I always chuckle when people make these arguments about cars being better when they were easier to repair.

Sure, diagnosing and repairing a problems like the throttle control example is more difficult and expensive today than it was in the '70s. But cars are also so much more reliable today that the frequency of these repairs is considerably lower.

I have a 2009 Toyota Matrix that I have owned for 12 years now. It has nearly 140,000 miles on it. Last month, the vehicle finally had to get a repair of a non wear item (failing O2 sensor), which cost me $300. In 1975, how many cars could be expected to last 13 years and 140,000 miles before needing a single repair?
> All older recordings should be cheaper to combat piracy.

That would kill the sales of new stuff.
That's rather an inane observation. A program written in any language running on a system with a C API will eventually need to call to C through some kind of foreign function interface in order to interact with the system. C++ just has the peculiarity that its FFI is directly interoperable with C, so much so that it's legal C.
True! With a general purpose appliance, one needs to define what outdated means. Is it fit for purpose (is the crypto strong enough against resourced adversaries), is it serviceable and reliable as hardware.

In both cases, this would be yes. Nobody says their toaster is outdated beyond aesthetics. Does it toast? Is it repairable?
Wow. I didn't know about this practice. The music industry never stops innovating new ways to screw over their talent.

One reason tech talks are specially boring to me is that the vast majority are about tooling/implementation, instead of topics/ideas. Another is that a surprisingly (to me) amount of people who do these talks do it just for content creation purposes.
A genocidal war is when someone kills an entire group of people over immutable characteristics. One country refusing to accept another country's power doesn't make a genocidal war. Your definition of genocide suggests that every war ever fought was genocidal, which is clearly not the case.
Don't give leverage to ad-supported websites?

No site I use/rely day to day has any ads so those won't have a reason to ban me. For the rest, not only do they have very little to ban me on (no account, etc - best they can do is IP address?) but an IP ban would actually be beneficial as there's a chance it'll also propagate to their trackers and essentially mark my network as invisible or untrusted, not collecting/processing any data from it as it's considered fraudulent.
Their picks for the boutique treatment are likely good guesses - TR909 for sure, maybe TR606. On the synth side, Jupiter 8, Juno 106 & D50 seem like good candidates.
At certain times, not taking a side is actually taking a side.
Elie Weisel: "And then I explain to him how naïve we were, that the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."
Ok, lets do that. "War on Drugs" has been disastrous.
First thing I show people that I show ad blockers is how to turn them off. I tell them that is the first thing to try if a page gives them hell. Don't call me until you've tried that or you will get (mildly) yelled at, Aunt Janie.
I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think IP law is to blame. I think it's consumer protection law that is the problem here. Magnuson–Moss should be amended to require warrantors to provide repair information. (edit: and tools)
Geometric proof that the mediant lies between its arguments
I think the JWST is to far-sighted to be very useful for spotting something in an Earth intercept orbit. For one, it is to the outside of Earth's orbit and its instruments work in infrared bands requiring extreme cooling--it can't be aimed at angles towards Earth's orbit because of solar radiation. The shield at the "bottom" of the telescope allows for some inclination but not a tremendous amount.

I work as a full time consultant helping companies build their developer experiences and put together solid developer-focused strategies while also helping them transform their infrastructure to support a platform-focused development approach.

It's extremely interesting work, and pays pretty well. But it's a very interdisciplinary role. I consult and engage in infrastructure architecture, API design, product strategy, product marketing, corporate strategy, sales, engineering... it depends on the project, the goals of the company, and their willingness to take this seriously.

I do a LOT of writing, very little of it ever gets published.

I transitioned more than a decade ago from engineering to a more business focused role, which then transformed into an advocate role. Ironically, I don't think full time devs make the best advocates - I find sales engineers and solutions architects are better suited for the role. They already have the experience in working directly with customers and reacting to their needs. They write demos and documentation for that audience already. And they have the technical chops to be able to cover a wide range of topics where most software devs are focused on their areas of interest. All they really need to do is work on their marketing skills (largely so they can better work with their marketing teams) and polish their communications to make them a bit more accessible beyond just the developer audience (dev advocates work with developers, yes, but also are critical to getting business buy-in).

If you want to become an advocate, but don't have the kind of background I'm talking about, I suggest you just start advocating for the things you love now on your personal sties. Research and post blog posts with your opinions about topics happening in the areas you;re interested in. Use your social media to share that information and start building a name for yourself. Build that portfolio, then use ti land a dev adv position somewhere - or hang out the shingle and go it on your own Guy Kawasaki style.
So the only person we can find who claims to have used BTC to flee Ukraine is a guy who is literally the webmsater for a company that raises money to mine crytpo. And he didn't buy BTC when he wanted to flee Ukraine, because he couldn't because the banks had stopped withdrawals, he took the BTC he already had saved. And as the article notes - since he has bitcoin, he didn't need an ATM he just sold it to people he knew in Poland for cash. And that's all taking it on face value that the story isn't just straight BS.

Personally, if I were living in a place that is at threat of war (and let's face it, this war was no big surprise) I think I'd be much more likely to just keep a few hundred dollars stashed away in cash, than rely on a usb stick.
Yeah, I hate it when people believe in the work they’re doing and are eager to talk about it.

Just the worst.
Yeah my experience with physical media from the cassette age to now is that CDs are by far the most finnicky of the physical medias. Any little scratch or gunk leads to skipping and bad playback. I can count on one hand how few DVDs I've seen that had problems, and I've never seen a blu-ray that ever failed to play.
This is happening between Palestinians. You can call them Arab Israelis if you want but they still identify as Palestinians. Splitting them up for the sake of division with these policies is political and systematic.

And yes a double standard applies compared to other countries because Israel identifies as a western liberal democracy whereas the others don’t or no one implies that they seriously are.
They used a slightly tricked out version of librewolf on Garuda Linux as the default.
This isn't about you specifically. They want old cars to get scrapped so the average emissions goes down even further even quicker. They won't want your car to end up in the hands of someone who will drive it A LOT. Each EV sold is one less ICE sold. The goal is a market of lower emission used cars.
