I'm mostly buying vinyl, but some CDs too, especially of stuff that isn't on streaming services (surprisingly common with older albums or those from non-US/UK countries). CDs can be poorly or well mastered, but the latter really sound better than a lot of the rips that have ended up on streaming services to me in a blind comparison.
Avid bicyclist here. If I'm approaching an intersection with the possibility of conflicting with a motor vehicle even though I have clear right of way I stare at the driver's eyes. If he's not looking at me, I prepare for evasive action or possible emergency braking. Same for me going along my way and an oncoming MV turning left in front of/into me. I get a close call every year or two. I am very rude and they always are surprised I am angry...

No eyes no trust. Full automation is going to elevate the precedence of fallible motor vehicles over people with every right to the road even more. Great.

> they might not exist as a company today had they complied with the law.

If we accept that it's okay to get rich by breaking the law, where is the line that makes it not okay to deal drugs or sell illegal financial products in the hopes they might be legalised later?
When I was at Google I just disabled chat. Not worth it at all. SRE comms for people who are actually on-call happen on IRC anyway.
You do 100%.
Hi! I really appreciate this perspective, you're not wrong, but I do think there's room for a lot of investment styles. I know a lot of middle/upper class people that enjoy analyzing stocks for long term holds in companies they believe in.

I respect we won't cater to everyone, but the numbers/data we are seeing is showing a lot of our subs are middle aged/middle class people that are loving our tool. So some people will want it, some won't, that's my take.

If you ever get curious, please think of us! Again, thanks for the insight :)
> This is apartheid.

It’s been this way for a while. This is just one more thing on top of another.
Also something that goes very well with this is the age old saying, "just ask, don't ask to ask".

I always find it a bit annoying when people approach in chats just to ask if they can ask something.

Especially back in the days (yes) of IRC it was annoying because messages on a channel tend to easily drown in other messages

That's not true. Look at India - it has many times more ethnicities, and many Indian kingdoms used to have good relations even between Hindus and Muslims before modern times. Also, empires like the Ottoman empire had Turks, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Jews and many other nationalities; and Muslims, Christians, Zoroastrians and other religions living in relative harmony - certainly not in a constant state of civil war.

Ancient empires were even more diverse, with civil wars often arising more along economic lines than ethnic or religious ones.

The first time I tried to get a bank account as a mostly broke college student, I walked into a branch of the bank that had an agreement with my university to supply ATMs on campus. I said I wanted an account. They did everything in their power to not give me an account. Eventually, they rejected me because I had a NYS non-driver's ID card instead of a license. "We've had problems with these," they said. This bank branch was in downtown Manhattan, where roughly no one drives.

A few years after I managed to get them to give me an account, I overdrafted my checking account by a few dollars and they disabled my ATM card. After my next deposit cleared, I went back to that bank branch to get my card reinstated. They did not want to do it. The manager eventually said he could help me if I "promised I wouldn't do it again". I asked for my account to be closed instead, and I will always remember how pleased the guy seemed to be losing me as a customer.

It is not easy for everyone to get and maintain a bank account.
I think you'll find that when you see your family and friends being bombed you can't kill the invaders with a clear mind and no hate.

There are already multiple car accidents caused by Ukrainian refuges in Romania because they're too distraught due to what they've suffered so far. And you want them to not hate Russians? You can't be rational when you see your battered 5 year old in the morgue.
The signage may be Chinese but the locale is Singapore. That said, 80% of the "uniquely Japanese" things mentioned in the sister article are found in any East Asian city with a significant Japanese presence.

What I do when needing a synchronous communication is ask "do you have time right now for a <conversation/call/chat>?"

That way the person knows I want something synchronous, and they have the option to say no and give me a time when they can be synchronous.

Ask HN: Neutral DNS servers?
Hi HN - Here’s a question that I hope will generate some useful comments, suggestions and links.

Background for question: I normally run an internal DNS resolver with an upstream pool of 10-15 providers. These are normally a mix of Global Anycast servers (Quad9 etc) with some OpenNIC, YandexDNS etc thrown in towards the end to cover the ‘chilling effects’ blackholes.

Currently Yandex DNS is pinging a timeout (either due to black-holing or DDOS’ing depending on where I connect To/From).

My question to HN is this – Given my ‘Information Wants To Be Free’ viewpoint, are there any DNS equivalents of Switzerland (WWII, Neutral to all parties) providers?

There's a tiny glimpse of magic of seeing the apparatus that turns physical storage into music. Even a CD drive gives you some mechanical hints of things happening. Best part is when you have an open drive mechanism :)
I watched some 90's videotapes from the early days of movies being sold at affordable prices at my parents house last year. VHS quality has always been poor compared to DVD, but they didn't seem particularly degraded.

They have been sitting in a climate controlled room all that time.
I think the great thing about Arch is that, despite the hype, there is nothing special about it.

In other words, Arch is mostly Linux From Scratch plus a binary package manager with dependencies and standard choices for everything (tooling written in C, standard kernel, GNU libc, SystemD, etc). Plus a great wiki.

Arch sits at a local maximum in terms of design, right next to Alpine and a few other distributions with similar design choices. In my opinion, the other interesting local maximum is where NixOS and GuixSD sit. It's almost the other extreme, declarative vs imperative.
Jack Thompson Still Has a Grudge
You should still add the topic in your first message. "You around? I have a few questions about X and Y and was wondering if I could grab 10 minutes of your time to talk them through?"
Looks like the point of the change is that all-passenger hardware configuration is now allowed, just like there is no reason you can't make a tablet PC with no keyboard. Slightly different from "self driving cars are now allowed on the road".
> If I reach out via chat, it's because I expect a realtime exchange.

This is not a reasonable expectation, and is why people ignore your attempts to initiate a real-time exchange.
I think (hope) that the comment above was remarking that Israel itself is deeply antisemitic (Arabs are a semitic people).
Setting up a bit of a strawman here.

I did not say screening tools do all the work. I said that they work. Onviously one uses screening tools as a starting point. But they are step one in every sane approach to analysis.
I've had a look at habr ( it was interesting in the past too)

And while minor propaganda is being tried, most of the IT guys seem to be balancing reality from propaganda pretty well ( mostly by authors).

I'm not sure if i would be able to do that in such circumstances.

And, "thanks" to modern messenger UI designers (was it Apple who started it?), these messages take up the WHOLE SCREEN!
In my experience, this is almost entirely a regional cultural problem. I've never had an American or European coworker do the extended "hello" handshake. I've had a lot of East Asian and South American coworkers do it. I'm talking about fresh-off-the-boat (or still living there) people of other cultures. There's a strong culture of exchanging greetings and smalltalk in some places before getting to the point, especially if they're going to ask for a favor. It drives me nuts and completely backfires, because I'm less-inclined to engage with or help someone who makes me perform a social ritual before we get to the topic they're reaching out for. I tend to ignore them until content worth reacting to arrives in a message, but even ignoring a "hello" is a time-wasting distraction. By all means engage in smalltalk face-to-face if you haven't met up in a while, or even electronically if it's truly just a social call, but if we're coworkers, get to the damn point already.
Israel is surrounded by Arab Muslims who outnumber Jews 100:1 and are overtly hostile to Judaism, as prescribed by their religion. I ask honestly, is it really so wrong for a nation to implement laws to preserve its culture, particularly when it's people constitute a tiny fraction of the global population?

Or is support of cultural preservation only virtuous when the alternative is labeled "gentrification"?
How To Do Less
I think in that case it's because the author of the tweet could delete it. Or maybe some users are blocked by the author.
Part of the problem is proliferation of Slack. Don't get me started on using a central server of a 3rd for-profit party, but here I just refer to asynchronous messages, e.g. inquiries, on a synchronous medium. Unless you need my attention right now, why use Slack, IRC, telephone or walk by my desk? Just send me an e-mail and be as courteous or curt as you please.
"Just because the chat app shows that you are logged in, it does not mean that you are immediately available to chat."

It's 2022, chat app statuses are more sophisticated than just "online/offline" indicators. It will tell you if I'm busy, if I'm in a call, if I'm presenting, if I've been AFK, etc. If I'm online and none of those statuses are true, I can probably engage now.

"If I want to leave a message for someone with a response accepted at their convenience, then I send an email. If I reach out via chat, it's because I expect a realtime exchange. Again, because the little green dot appears next to user's name does not mean they are not deep in the tall grass and readily available to chat."

Saying "hello" before asking a question doesn't somehow increase the chances that I will be more available. You can ask what you need in the first message, and if I can't respond despite my chat status, I will get to it when I can, at which point we can have the realtime discussion. You don't get a realtime exchange by saying "hello" and then waiting for an answer.

"To me, chat is just like walking up to someone at the cubicle to have a conversation."

Except it's not. There is a distinct difference in the mode of communication here. You wouldn't walk up to someone's desk, hand them a letter, and then leave, but that's exactly what you can do with a chat. While chat is more real-time than email, it is still a written record and it's slower than an actual conversation; as a result, it comes with its own set of pros and cons that facilitate things differently.

"If I walk up to someone and notice they are deep in it, I don't bother them. Chat doesn't allow for that kind of signaling, so a "got a sec?" isn't a wast of time as it allows for them to not reply indicating "no" without stopping to type "no"."

Again, it does signal that, with status icons. And even if my status is green but I happen to still be busy for some reason, a chat notification is a chat notification. Saying "hello" is as much an intrusion as saying "hello, I have this problem with <x>, can you help me?" -- except if you just say "hello", then I have to respond and then wait more time for a second intrusive notification to find out what you need.
> when people leave Netflix they sometimes have a hard time getting a Principle eng role at another company because "you can't jump from senior to principle"

I'd hope engineers would know that their incoming title is part of the offer package and thus may be negotiable...especially in the current job market.

Also, I've heard rumors you can have a satisfying career without reaching the vaunted role of principal; however, who knows if those rumors can be trusted? :)

I'm of the opinion that titles are a lousy game to play, because they are inherently zero sum. Plus, as mentioned in the article, the rules for progressing are entirely different at small vs large companies, and growth vs not-growing stages. Nothing wrong with wanting to grow and improve, but the metrics used for evaluating titles are often opaque and not always under your control, so fixating on them seems like a recipe for frustration.
>This is problematic for a number of reasons. The most important in my mind is that the risk of the vehicle being hacked and carjacked remotely is always present.

Which raises the question: "Why would we engineer vehicles to accept external network connections?"

Any communication to/from a vehicle should only be initiated by the vehicle itself. There's no reasonable criteria under which a vehicle should have its systems available to external sources.

Or am I missing something important?
If the CAA specifies LE, what then?
I'm disappointed that this story is already flagged - while it may not be immediately relevant to the tech industry in some ways, consider that many of your LGBTQ+ colleagues in the US are deeply, deeply worried about these anti-LGBTQ laws popping up all over the US.

It's difficult to focus on your job when you're being slowly legislated into a second-class citizen in much of the country. These things are on our minds constantly, and deserve discussion in our field. We, as an industry, wield enormous power in the US economy - and what we do or do not say as a field has tremendous impact on the way these events unfold.

It should be relevant for discussion here, even if it's uncomfortable for some.

yeshello.net

Thank you for making me feel happy about something I never realized I had. None of the people I interact with regularly would get even minimally annoyed by getting a hello in their inbox.

I can only imagine how hellish your existence may be when you have to deal with people that are so finicky to the point that they even made a website to tell others how they may start conversations with them. What a big PITA to have them close to you ...
You can disagree without being a dick about it
This is also going to be interesting for figuring out the minimum altitude for maintaining the link to an RC airplane for a given distance.
out of genuine curiosity, how would that system work? how can you prevent subjugating the Arab minority?
Pet peeves are anxieties that haven't been properly dealt with yet. I'd encourage folks to mute the notifications at the OS level and habitually check your chat app as an alternative. The key cause is often the notifications themselves and some are more sensitive to them than others.

From experience, opening a bank account in the UK takes a while. And for that time you need cash on hand, or a working foreign bank account/bank card.
Anecdotally, I feel like half the people in my immediate circle of friends/family still don't use adblockers unless I help them set it up. And then that only holds until the next time they get a new device and I'm not there to help them do it again.
People find all sorts of arguments that are both logically and morally unsound to justify their behaviour, and it isn’t going to change.

For a while I thought they might notice that they are hurting themselves just as much as they are hurting the publishers, since ad blocking is part of the reason the time of freely reading thousands of high-quality sources is coming to an end. But there is really zero appreciation for the work of journalists. Local papers are already gone in rural areas and it took maybe five years until nobody remembers what they’ve lost.
I would probably accept technology that's as good as the median driver.
I could see that but only if the bio might be read by paying customers of your company. Internally, encouraging people to use their and your time more productively seems like a good idea.. excessive deference in the workplace is communication blocker.
It's not just Google, all of them, Switzerland /German by default including the information to switch language every where
People are so grumpy. If you don't want notifications turn them off. If I approach you in person I don't say hi and spill out a paragraph. So saying hello to start a conversation is a low friction way to have a conversation in the same we humans do in real life.

edit: Are people really so unfriendly and impersonable that a simple hello is considered offensive? For the same reason I disable most mobile apps notifications on my phone, you can do same with instant messaging. Stop blaming other people's personalities.

What's Next? The NFL's Magic Yellow Line Shows Way to Augmented Reality (2016)
One of my colleagues uses Vivaldi, and he is constantly finding the weirdest bugs that I can only ever reproduce in Vivaldi, and that seem to break with every spec I can find.

* In all other browsers, clicking a "select file" element and then cancelling out of the dialog does not fire a `change` event on that element - except in Vivaldi, where you get a `change` event with no files in it.
* In all other browsers, setting the `Content-Length` header is enough for the browser to be able to give the user a file size estimate. Not in Vivaldi, which seems to use some other heuristic that I never managed to figure out - currently on our systems, the download dialog shows the file size as "unknown" and I've left it at that.
* Vivaldi has a feature where, if you close the window and then reopen it, it opens the page you were previously on. It's a nice feature, and I like it. Unfortunately, for the instant that the page is being reopened, any `matchMedia()` listeners will produce weird results. (Note that `window.screen.width` will still report a reasonable value, just one that contradicts the result of the `matchMedia()` query.) This is by far the weirdest and most niche bug I've found.

Obviously every browser has its own quirks - although modern browsers tend to have far fewer of them, so I'm much less tolerant of an evergreen browser that doesn't match spec these days - but what makes it far worse in Vivaldi's case is that, if you do find one of these bugs, the only way to report it is an online form with almost no feedback at all - there's no public list of bugs and not even a way to view the status on your own bug. Apparently they email you if something changes, but I've not experienced that yet.

In all fairness, from having tried out Vivaldi to reproduce these weird bugs, I'm quite impressed with how the browser feels, but the non-compliance with standards and the inscrutability of the bug report system have turned me off completely.
what's failing for me, I want result in Japanese but google thinks I want Chinese. I'm not in China or Japan but Chinese is not in my language preferences. Switching to google.co.jp didn't help.
I'm having trouble finding any solid numbers on what percent of products are sold pay per scan. I just know that in the retail stores I've worked in, the only examples I know of are live plants and possibly aquarium fish.
I loathe phatic expressions in general, but yeah, over chat with someone you don't know is about as bad as it gets. It would be great if people actually meant the question, but they almost never do.
What are you implying by "Vinyl is actually physical beyond bits and bytes"?

Are you trying to say "vinyl is analog"? Because that's true.

Are you trying to say "the analog vinyl is superior to a CD prepared from the same mix"? That's demonstrably incorrect.

Are you trying to say "the vinyl mixes are often superior to the CD mixes"? That's often true.
This is insane. Sure, it's not on the level of a professional tool, but you can emulate so many professional tools with it that who cares?

Many people want a thermal camera on occasion, but probably don't need one lying around all the time. Here's the solution. Maybe you want a Gameboy? Put one together on a lazy afternoon and play some retro games. Oh, you just want a quick and dirty USB hub? Do it. Oh, no! Your car is acting weird and you want to stream the OBD-II data and match it with accelerometer data? Go for it!

This is just insane in terms of flexibility, and I think it could replace many devices people use extremely infrequently, as well as do other things we don't really think about. And it's fun! Technology is absolutely insane now, and I think we neglect the fun aspect too much.

Edit: I used the word insane a lot. I stand by it.

It doesn't surprise me that a novel medium would change its rules as unexpected events arise.

I've got plenty of qualms about the way Facebook has handled it, but of course there was something wrong with the rules -- they had never tried them out under these circumstances. All three of the things you cite are using/abusing social media in ways that have never been done before.

Principles are great, but if you can't change your principles when the world changes around you, then they're not so much "principles" as "dogma". The world is a complex and difficult place, and I don't expect any simple set of principles to be adequate to all of the things I don't anticipate. I try to anticipate everything I can, but it's no surprise that I'm sometimes surprised.
