In that scenario, your browser communicates the timezone to the box in Texas, which sets the DB connection timezone to Seattle and the Irish database does the conversion for you. The VPN doesn't really factor in.

Example: An order comes in 22:00 UTC, he's sitting in Seattle talking to a parts supplier. Said supplier want to know when the last order came in, so CEO pulls a sales report. It appears on the report as 3pm. This is intuitive and works every single time.

Ironically, that scenario you describe would be quite complex to implement with a ui tweak. What if your data entry is a webapp, the CEO is using Metabase, and your data analyst is using Tableau? You know have to implement timezones 'correctly' in three different pieces of software, sometimes with software you didn't write.
We also tried hiring. After checking 100+ resumes, and interviewing the best 10 candidates, we hired the best we could find, who turned out to be average.

My ego is not unfounded, I have had to do this successfully in other projects, but I can only do it if both the tools, the codebase and the framework allow me to do it
What the author essentially is asking for are public services. They just want a term to justify not having to think about the million other problems with running such a service. The typical "I'm a computer person, I can solve any problem with just code" thing.

If you want "open" public services, form a co-op or nonprofit to develop the service. Make all users 'members' who fund it. Make both the workers and users the owners. Create a public independent board to oversee it. Put any profit back into the service. The architecture will not matter.
Discuss it ... and then dictate it. Engineering teams are better run by hierarchy than consensus. "A camel is a dog designed by committee." Would you rather have a dozen people put whatever they like in the soup pot, or let the best cook select?

There's a side of this that I agree with, however there's other sides.

The reason I've been in the code base a bunch is because I've taken on support of forks bootstrapped by others in various scenarios.

Design safety goes a fairly long way, but it's so easy to screw up patching code shaped this way. I might trust the core, but I don't trust external patches.

The problem in practice is, distros can't help themselves.

South Korea I think also was autocratic at some point, but with the help of USA became much better. There's still a ton of problems, corruption and nepotism, but it's still thousands times better than dictatorship.
Discontinuation of the Vanced Project
Replying to myself to add another data point:

Other manufacturers manage to sell spare parts at more reasonable prices. I just checked a random washing machine from Siemens, and they sell the heating element for 28€. Not quite as affordable as the aftermarket part I got, and they'll probably charge 5-10€ for shipping, but it's a lot more reasonable than the Miele part.
Mine makes a loud noise, I tracked it down to a fan, and I think the bearing is bad. It should be easy to replace a fan I think (although a little hassle since I have to remove the ice maker to get to it).

And before I even got around to purchasing a new fan, the water dospenser stopped working, and I haven't bothered looking at it yet.

Ideally I would just like to replace the whole thing with a quieter refrigerator, but I can't seem to find any reviews that actually address quietness.
The real crime here was lying on the bill of lading to get around shipping restrictions. Lithium batteries do sometimes cause fires, and sometimes big ones, but we have some safety mechanisms to help with that kind of thing. You can’t put any of them in place if you lie about what you’re shipping
I move the guinea pig run across our lawn. Once they've cut it down "enough" I move it, so that it overlaps slightly. The wild bunnies do help. It's funny when they look at each other. Cavies inside the run, bunny outside, all of them chewing.
SubZero is known for being the best in the industry. It's amazing how much longer food lasts. They are expensive though, so if it is in your budget, I would absolutely recommend.
While I agree with your statement. If you look at the present condition of medical facilities in Hong Kong, and imagine that situation reaching 1.4 billion people in a relatively short time. Also these people unlike many Westerner's probably don't have anti bodies from previous Covid-19 infections.
Fair comments but as someone who has tried many times to adopt Linux, I can honestly state that nothing in Windows comes close to the user-hostile UX approach in Linux.

For example, Radarr is an extremely popular tool for managing movies. It connects to usenet and torrent clients, as well as indexers and movie databases. It makes maintaining a home movie collection seamless.
Radarr is not in major package managers, and requires the CLI for install (https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/installation#linux). In Windows, I double click an .exe. In Linux I have to follow a reasonably complicated and time consuming installation process, full of opportunities to misconfigure the install.
Radarr isn't a super hardcore 1337 program. It's a very common application aimed at everyone who runs Plex. Until a distro has a .exe equivalent for all applications like this, it's just not going to be a competitor to Windows, for users who need more than just a web browser, and those who are not IT administrators.

Bottom line: make it so users never ever, for any reason ever, need to use the CLI. Until then, most of us will be sticking with Windows.
I think the book chair thing in the last picture is going in the right direction.

With a couple sheets of plywood, basic tools and supplies, and a trip to the sofa cushion store, someone could build a comfortable reading space that suits their own preferences.

I would widen it and turn one of those boxes in towards the chair. Then build an automated ottoman that slides out from under the seat controlled by a switch on the side. Who doesn't want an automated ottoman?!

I would also probably lower that left wall and build in some kind of tea making station. Then a relief tube! Next build some speakers into the back wall, and a tiny Class D amp with Bluetooth, et voila, I will never leave it!

Truthfully though, most people wouldn't build such a thing. I could, but sadly I have no good place in my house to put it.

We had a reading nook in a house that my mom designed and we built as a family. The house had a large masonry fireplace in the middle, behind which she included a 3 by 3 foot space for a firewood box. She made a big cushion to go over the box, and a thick piece of rug on the wall opposite the stove. So cozy! Now if only I was inclined to read when I was a kid...

If beacons go into the privacy panel, adtech will go back to using onunoad+onbeforeunload and everything will be worse. (I don't really have a technical solution other than also preventing requests during unload but last I heard this was not considered a reasonable option by browser developers.)
I've heard advice given like this: Don't buy an appliance from a brand that makes smartphones.
In the US it is a choice, at least for anyone willing and able to pay the full price of the phone up front.
FYI OneTab has a history of crashing, and unfortunately looses all your saved tabs when it does (likely due to how little thought-out an extension's storage support is). Keep exporting regularly to take backups in txt if you value your tabs. (Speaking from personal experience.)

I don’t like these content about programming. Why listing a bunch possible of answers to some solved problems instead of try to dive deep into the problem themselves.

This feels like encouraging people to buy a bunch of cameras instead of teaching people how to take good photos.

A good solution may end up looking like some patterns, but sourcing good solutions from a pool of patterns is impossible unless the problem you are trying to solve is the exact same as the one a pattern is solving, in the same environment and context.

I do find the content can be very useful for many, but can we not call them patterns?

Purely anecdotal but i used to live in a mosquito heavy country. What I've noticed is male mosquitoes tend to hand around densly packed tall plants. Especially under the leaves. Not sure if tall grass also have the same effect
The top comment in that thread hints at a cease and desist, without actually saying it. I'm not aware of cease&desist laws but can they gag people from mentioning the c&d words?

Anyway there's also a tweet supposedly containing a screenshot from the Vanced Discord server mentioning it was a cease and desist. https://twitter.com/linuxct/status/1503081083486810120

> an extra 5 weeks will have passed for the probe.

What does this mean? The only quantity I can see with an obvious meaning is that the probe will arrive somewhere after experiencing a certain amount of time since leaving Earth. But the time of the probe's arrival is not easily matched to any time on Earth.

Suppose the probe arrives and dispatches a message which travels back to Earth at the speed of light. For simplicity, the distance is exactly 4 light years.

- How much time did the probe experience between leaving Earth and sending the "I made it" message?

- How much time did Earth experience between the probe leaving and the "I made it" message arriving?

It's kind of unsatisfying that these two questions don't share both their endpoints, but at least they both have well-defined answers.
The tall grass gives them a place to hide. In theory they can even use small amounts of water under the tall grass to reproduce (the tall grass prevents evaporation that would happen with shorter grass).
Same here. I'm a Linux advocate (even named my son after the creator) and I definitely manage more Linux than Windows machines but after trying (forcing) Linux on my main workstation I gave up.

I need nvidia drivers (for ML and sysadmin stuff) and had so many random problems with multiple distros like sound randomly wasn't working or some USB ports were not detecting anything.

WSL has changed the game and now I have the stable and driver supported desktop environment with all the tools I love from my linux servers.
On this issue most do care. The loudest voices will win like in the case of CEO of Goldman. It will take a generation to turnover those c-levels until than it will be a battle with many employees not showing up when demanded back to the office.

Feels like we are in a 60s/70s cultural change period. People are battling over what they want the world to be. This is no different.

Tree-sitter works like a syntax highlighting plugin, and doesn’t require communication with an external process. It’s like syntax highlighting but with a deeper understanding of the programming language, not based just on regular expressions. So not only is the highlighting better, but you can do more things, such as selecting blocks or jumping among them. One of my favorite goodies is being able to ask the editor what function my cursor is inside.

It's also at about the altitude over your head the premise flew by you.

Adobe CC, Microsoft Office and Visual Studios prevent an all out shift to linux for the majority. LibreOffice, VSCode, Gimp/Inkscape and everything JetBrains has to offer just doesn't make the cut yet. But we are getting close by each passing year.
Agree. The saddest stories are the people who did still fight for it despite 98% indiffirent nation.

It's easy to fight for something when everyone you know does too. But it's much much harder to fight multiple battles at the same time: at work, at home with you family who wants some security, etc.

Plaintext works best for me.

One place is important like you said. But I've found it is helpful to have a distinction between high-level plan, like a feature roadmap for a product, and a focused plan for specific tasks you are working on NOW.

For personal projects, I have a TODO section in the README that looks something like this:

[ ] Add support for...
[ ] Do this next thing...

This tracks high-level tasks.

When I pick something to work on, it gets its own list:

[ ] Figure out X API
[ ] Add error handling
[ ] etc.

In a team context, I've always used JIRA for the high-level tasks and when I start on a high-level task I break that down for myself into a plaintext list like above. I start my morning by revising that "focused" list.
I hope it won't be a decade, but remember the (original) Raspberry Pi launched on a very mature part, with a _very_ mature (ancient) ISA.

Outside the discount pricing, Intel has promised to tape out SiFive's P650. Revos, Tenstorrent, and others are also working on fast cores, but it'll be at least 2-3 years before they hit the market if at all.

So far SiFive's dual issue in-order core (~ 40 GeekBench 5.4.1) (like on now-cancelled BeagleV) is the fastest chip you can buy as a lay person. The D1 (~ 32 GB 5.4.1) is cheaper but less powerful.
Tangential -- but my biggest pet peeve with firefox is its autocomplete behavior in the address bar. It seems to be impossible to prevent it from putting website.com before website.com/page_I_actally_want

The specific case I have:
I use the URL bar basically as my bookmarks (turned off browsing history and top sites in address bar suggestions), and one of the pages I frequency is https://hackaday.com/blog/ (note that this is distinct from the base https://hackaday.com). In chrome it works fine, if I hit h in the address bar it immediately autocompletes it to the full url, but in firefox it autocompletes it to the base url so I have to hit h then down arrow to get to the site I want.

For the life of me I haven't been able to figure out a way to change the behavior, and it absolutely infuriates me that there is no obvious way to fix it.

He was a Kentucky Colonel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Colonel
Yeah, I'm not an "I need to be friends with my coworkers" person either, but I just mean the everyday stuff that is work-related or work-tangential. Who is meeting with who, how people feel about what's going on, etc. More than one might glean from a Confluence page with notes from a design meeting or whatever. "Oh, the real reason we chose technology X for this feature is just because Jim knows it well", "oh, the real reason we're adding this logic to the back-end is because the boss thinks the front-end devs are incompetent", etc. Things that get whispered in person, but don't get written in an email or wiki page.

Maybe some teams are small enough or well-adjusted enough for this not to be an issue, but I've definitely felt I've lacked this sort of context since having fewer informal talks with my boss.
Wouldn't the manufacturers just take over, and only survive in the lowest cost place for manufacturing? The inventors/designers would get nothing and no one would want to do that anymore. What would be the incentive to share your open sourced designs?

Like it'd be pretty easy for one state-supported giant manufacturer to just build every single open sourced product, and sell it direct. The whole world would buy from this cheapest producer. No one else would get anything, and supply chains would become even more brittle.

Another way to think about it is if knockoffs were guaranteed identical to the originals, but at a lower price. Everyone would just buy the knockoffs. No one would want to make anything new anymore.
I DO run a "public" service, in that it provides some info to people. However I run it at totally my own cost, the information is for entertainment value only (and not in the "I just say that to get around this being horrible in some way"; it's literally information about gaming and games), and I just don't need the hassle of the constant hack attempts. I block China and Russia, and have for years, using publicly available IP ranges.

Yes, I know it's not going to get just China and Russia. Yes I know I'm blocking false positives. Yes I know I'm allowing false negatives.

And honestly, I couldn't care less. It's my service, my information, my time, and my money, and I don't feel the least bit bad nor swayed by some appeal to morality or fairness.

> Your approach to security has a number of issues.

Your examples are a bit of non-sequitur. If I OVERBAN, I'm not decreasing my security. The non-(Chinese hacker) visitor in China can't get in, that's not a security issue. IP's being flagged as Chinese not being in China... can't get in also not a security issue. Vice versa is a bit of a security issue, with which the second layer of my security onion deals.
This is a skill everyone should be doing. Require everything in writing. I started doing this in office because everyone has amnesia and I was tired of people lying or changing their mind. If you want something done, then go through the channels and in writing.
Is the quality of education really better? My understanding is it's all just selection or an IQ test - strongest apply, strongest get in, places hire them based on the prestige of the name.
It's true, blind people are only considered disabled because of sighted people.

What would you do if you were me? Coding bootcamp question
Relevant context: I'm 28, live near [redacted], I'm single, have no degree (dropped out 40% through a non stem degree), have been unemployed since December 2019, and have little coding experience. I have a serious disc injury in my back which limits the type of jobs I can work. I'm also autistic and do much better with technical things then customer focused. I'm totally ok working in a team though! I currently live with family, which is not ideal but not terrible. I have been thinking about doing a coding a coding boot camp (specifically Launch School using their deferred payment) or alternatively learning Python with the goal of finding a entry level remote job. I currently make zero dollars a month and my savings is quickly disappearing.

And here's the actual question part.. Do you think this is a good plan? Do you have any advice? My long term goal is to obtain a degree in biology or neuroscience, I think the technical skills from coding would be a great asset in those fields. Finding a remote job is more urgent to me then finishing a degree because because I want to be able to pay for healthcare stuff that isn't covered by my insurance (medicaid) and move out of the small town I live in. I previously lived in a large city with roommates before my injury. Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse here. Id much rather go the coding bootcamp route then take out student loans. I think I would do better with learning in a structured course then with just my Python textbook. Thank you for reading!

I think if we built a nuclear-propulsion probe it would use something like NERVA, which was a working prototype. Nuclear pulse propulsion is far more speculative and too close to a weapon to be practical in the next few centuries.
While regular dedup is only a win for highly specific workload, the file-based deduplication[1][2] which is in the works seems like it can have some potential.

They discussed it, along with some options for a background-scanning dedup service (trying to find potential files to dedup), in the February leadership meeting[3].

As I said, it can be done front or back end, you can use the same script I wrote if you want to stick to javascript, or can implement the same in any other language, and then just return the generated image. In fact the algorithm is so simple you can write the raw bytes out as a bitmap without depending on any image libraries if you wanted.

The difference is that it's stateless because it's deterministic. and therefore requires no more than a single small script.
