Interesting. Having two young kids I don't yet see anything that triggers a consistent "give me attention" response. Maybe I'm just on my phone so much they think it's normal.

Still can't imagine having 4 young ones at once. Anymore than two seems unfair to each of them and my SO. There's only so much of my energy/affection/time to go around.

Agree it's hard to have any closer relationships, even with other family because of time constraints. I've tried to stay flexible and be the bridge with neighbor families or friends with kids of differing ages. Peers are great and so are mixed aged friends. A lot to learn and enjoy at least until the "it's not cool to play with babies" culture sets in.

You can find it in religion. The men in the church from 18 to 108 :) all form a quorum, united in belief and brotherhood, finding ways to serve each other and others outside the organization.

I find the relationship/friendship with my wife most enriching in my life. And when SHTF (as it does in any relationship), she stood by my side, my greatest ally, and champion.
I'm twice your age, totally self taught, also a college dropout, and have originated several tech startups--some successful & some not. I'm launching another SAAS in my 60s (on zero budget just for the lulz).

The one time I raised money for a startup I did great, and I'm sure it was my confidence. You know where my confidence came from? This logic: there are people who are dumber than I am, doing better than I am, at the same age. Therefore if I work hard and smart, I can definitely level up.

You've got this. Remember: if a midwit like me can do it, you definitely can!

The last of the virus will never be killed. That’s impossible. So you’re suggesting we avoid “clustering” (i.e., normal human social behavior) forever.
> - pushing updates to slow down older iOS to "encourage" users to buy a new phone

Apple down older iPhones to make their batteries last longer. They were penalized by court for not communicating this decision to iPhone owners, not for slowing down battery.
That won't work for everything. For example:

1) User schedules a meeting 6 months out. Their time zone is -5 from UTC

2) 3 months later, their local politicians change their timezone to be -4.5 from UTC

3) The database has the wrong time since it has -5 stored and people miss the meeting by 30 minutes
How does duck duck go know?

Do they have a link to the highest levels of governments with a team of experts certify what's true and what's false?

...Or are they algorithmically deranking sites that don't fit the narrative of their customer base?

Last one seems more likely.

This tangent of virtue signalling these last few years has been.... constant and tiring. Lately, every thing claiming to be a rebel is a tyrant.
That’s great but, I independently came to the conclusion that clover looks horrible on a nice lawn.
Ada's verbose syntax was a workaround for primitive terminals with limited character sets. (That's also why it's case insensitive.) It was never intended to be especially English-like, or easy to survey for non-technical users - while both of these were goals for COBOL.
It look like good, but perhaps should have some more options (that can be specified as a part of the search query text), and documenting these features. Some possibilities would include filters (by file format, domain name, scheme, etc), sort order, excluding, etc.

There are two menus for options ("Popular Sites", "Blogocentric Eigenvector", "Both Algorithms", "Experimental", "Allow JS", "Deny JS", "Require JS"), but does not explain them very well. (For example, I might want the search engine to not execute any scripts in web pages to determine their text, but if the text works when scripts are disabled that it can still be included in the search results (even if the web page has scripts, as long as those web pages work correctly even when scripts are disabled).)

Also, they have some documentation using Gemini format. I have a Gemini viewer in my computer, but it won't use it because of the "Content-disposition" response header.

Ask HN: How to help an engineering team come to a consensus on best practices?
As my engineering team grows, there are naturally differences in opinion as to how things should be done

- e.g. "Should a single X.js file contain both the React component and its styles OR should we create both an X.js (which contains only React and no css) and a linked-to X.css files?"
- e.g. 2 "Should we use dash-case for CSS class or camelCase or snake_case?"

I've scheduled a meeting next week where the goal is to reach some consensus. Seeing as I will be moderating this meeting, I wonder how I should approach things? Should we agree on some basic goods up-front (e.g. codebase consistency, standard community practice) and then proceed to rate each competing practice along these dimensions? How do I deal with nebulous goods - one I hear often is "this approach is cleaner". But many of these times I don't see a difference in cleanliness or any pragmatic value in that aspect of cleanliness. And then if consensus cannot be agreed informally, would it make sense to put it to vote anonymously and chose the most popular practice?

One of the factors that makes this challenging is that many best practice candidates started as innovations by one individual, and human nature being what it is, that individual is going to fight tooth and nail so that their innovation is chosen -- even though someone else is fighting back every bit as intensely for their competing innovation.

I am open for any ideas whatsoever here. I'm a long-time programmer but started managing programmers so don't have any good framework for dealing with issues.

And big picture: I would rather have an engineering team that is passionate about the best way to do things rather than one that couldn't care less.
> unless you work at a 10 person company, the CTO has less context than you about reality “on the ground.”

From my experience people "on the ground" often miss out on the strategic long term goals.

Neither my take on it, nor the author's approach will be the silver bullet. Both are too extreme. And might appeal to different audiences on paper but not survive reality imho.
Growing produce is super hard. It also requires more water than a lawn for similar area. But you can also do both. We have a pretty big vegetable patch too.

But I love a lawn. They’re beautiful and it’s a fun hobby. They also make a great ecosystem for lots of bugs and worms which love organically fertilized earth. Lawns are also a carbon sink depending on how you maintain it. Not to mention they’re great for erosion issues. Not to mention the kids love playing on it.

As for water I live in an area where you can’t really “waste” water. Mowers can be electric as well.
Who cares? Why do you trust a random bureaucrats opinion about numbers that are available for everyone to see?
Sorry to shit on this, but NewPipe sucks. In my experience it's a waste of time to try and use it as a YT client replacement. It barely works, if at all. Casting definitely never ever worked for me, not even once.

How did you happen to see that? That tweet is perfectly relevant, it's byond uncanny that you had it at the ready.
Would the alternative be to go back to fossil fuels? That seems to be the implication of like 9/10 anti-lithium battery comments I see.
Also erosion control. Lawns are great for controlling that.
Killing userChrome would be extremely on brand for Mozilla, so I'm sure it will happen at some point. Killing features beloved by a subset of power users appears to be a guiding design principle there. I've seen userChrome suggested as the fix for all kinds of UX regressions that Firefox pushed on users. But if Firefox is willing to go out of its way to break the UX in various ways, why would I ever trust it to maintain that support?

I have never used Envoy or Istio, and maybe I shouldn't believe the PR hyperbole about Tetrate which says "Today, Tetrate is one of the largest contributors to the Istio open source project and second largest to Envoy Proxy.". In the other tread people have pointed out that Google is instead the main driver behind Istio these days, which I do not find more reassuring as they mostly use Kubernetes as a marketing tool to sell cloud services (as, in my understanding, they have an entirely different internal platform that they deploy their services on). I would say the point still holds, but of course it's fine to have different opinions on this. It's just that seeing containerization startups like Docker starting to monetize their core ecosystem to the detriment of the open-source community (e.g. by limiting container pulls on Dockerhub) does not give me confidence that the same thing won't happen to the Kubernetes ecosystem in the long term.

I commisioned another house. I have been building houses for the last 5 years. During these years I have seen that the bricklayers tend to take around 20% less time than the painters, furniture-installers and decorators. Somehow, in this project, with bricks provided by BigCorp the bricklayers are significantly late, and are delaying the whole project. It doesn't clearly mean anything other than I'm not willing to risk another late house by using again the bricks from BigCorp

That is partly true, there is no way a chip based laser can achieve the divergence even for a 1,860 million mile path. Chip geometry is intrinsically too divergent. A pumped self collimating fiber 1/1000 light second long = 186 miles, coiled in a large loop might not do it. I would have to look up the limits of self collimation?
That said, we do not progress with leaps in thought and technique.
If you have never done this before, I absolutely recommend -- while it is still possible to do this in a practical way -- getting a cheap film camera, getting hold of a proper incident light meter (like a Sekonic L-208 or L-308), and shooting some Fuji Velvia 50 or Provia 100F. Or if you can find it, some modern Ektachrome.

For example you might want to go to a beach or a park and shoot throughout the day on a bright day. Put people or objects in the foreground and then shoot them with either the light behind you or in front. Use the incident metering dome to meter the light

(you'll need to look this up, but the broad point of it is you stand in the same light as your subject and point the meter into the light, rather than at your subject)

Once you see what transparency film does in high-contrast situations I think you'll better understand what I'm trying to get across.
The primary reason why I don't use Firefox on the Mac is because there's a bug that makes keyboard text-replacement-shortcuts not work (ie. you write some pre-defined keyword and it gets replaced by something else, like replacing ":shrug:" with "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" )
As a child, I had a $20 plastic submarine that was powered by AA batteries. It could sit at the bottom of a pool for days on end, without water ever getting into the battery compartment of the engine module (which was sealed with a rubber o-ring).

I bet there are hundreds of counter-examples to your claim that water-proofing with an o-ring is an engineering challenge of the utmost difficulty.
> it has never existed without the existence of classes considered, in some way, to be sub-human (though the ways we degrade people to this state now are more nuanced than they were in the explicit chattel slavery days).

You could easily apply that sentence to human history as a whole - the word "capitalism" is doing no work there. Even Russian kulaks, Chinese "counter-revolutionaries" and Cambodian intellectuals were considered sub-human; no human social system has ever fully escaped that pitfall.
Well, you'd have almost twice the battery-life, if you used Windows.

And you can get comparable results in Linux, but you need to tweak it yourself at the moment.
That kind of masters is just credentialism, like the corporate certs people pay for. They are a good moneymaker for the universities.

There are other kinds of masters, like one attached to an extended bachelor’s (more classes, a project and/or do-op) or as a consolation prize for dropping out of a PhD program. These are more academic.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the decline of Americans attending churches (any church) corresponds with increased feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety. The positive outcomes of the social networks of religion are not easily replaced with virtual hangouts and social media posts.

Lithiums are nothing to treat carelessly. Friend of mine had a good quality drone battery catch their room on fire. Could not put out the battery, had to scoop it and put it outside until it stopped. The only reason it didn't burn the house down was due to flame retardant materials things are made out of nowadays and they caught it fast enough.

Manufacturing by it's nature has defects, get metal containers for your lithium charging and don't cheap out on batteries. If you have old lithium batteries from laptops, drones, etc, dispose of them at a local transfer station properly. Or at a minimum locate them in something metal that has a lid in an area where open flame would not readily catch something on fire.
> This varies a lot by area - For example, I'd say the NY medallion regulations had a point to them, and that point was to systematically abuse cab drivers for the profit of the local government and banks.

NY cab medallion regulations were rooted in the aftermath of the Great Depression where it was a race to the bottom and little things like "car maintenance" were viewed as a burden.

Funnily enough, Uber and Lyft are in this race to the bottom right now. Hopefully we can stop it before they start kidnapping people.

If you're interested in Python anti-patterns instead, we wrote an open-source book on them a while ago: https://docs.quantifiedcode.com/python-anti-patterns/

Hasn't received any updates in the last years but it still holds up quite well, disregarding the Python 2 specific anti-patterns of course which become less and less relevant, as well as the Django-specific ones, which probably are hopelessly outdated.

NTs can either read in to context or willfully ignore it (choose to act as if they haven't noticed), while autistic people always have to act without that information. It is kind of like wheelchairs and ramps - people who can climb stairs are strictly better off than people who can only go up ramps, but a society with ramps isn't any less capable than one where you have to climb a ladder to get to your office.

> why did they want to cede sovereignty to the EU so bad?

Signing a treaty (which you can later leave) is not a loss of sovereignty, it is an exercise of sovereignty. If you want to be reductionist about it, a country joining NATO would be a loss of sovereignty too, because they would be committing their foreign and military policy to a supranational body.

Similarly, your proposal of Ukraine promising not to join NATO (presumably as a condition in some treaty?) would also be a loss of sovereignty, by that logic, because a truly sovereign nation is entitled to apply for NATO membership whenever it wants to.

Does anyone actually use dedup? I think even the OpenZFS documentation says compression is more useful in practice. If at all, dedup should be an offline feature, to be run as scheduled by the operator.

My setup tries to get the absolute highest bandwidth and uses NVMe sticks in a stripe (I get my redundancy elsewhere), no compression, no dedup and yet can only hit ~ 3.5 GB/s reads (TrueNAS Core, EPYC 7443P, Samsung 980PRO, 256 GiB). I hope TrueNAS SCALE will perform better.

I use both: Linux and Windows. Replacing Windows is out of the question as I have Windows based product and I also use Windows to develop software for Linux as well. All my Windows machines are Win 10 except one with Win 11 which I turn on every once in a while strictly to see if my product works. I might've done something with the settings and did all installations while disconnected from the Internet. Other then that I am curious what is so different in all my Windows setups? I do not have any ads and never mind Windows rebooting when editing documents mine never reboots on its own. When it is ready for update it just displays some icon in the tray. If I click it it will ask me to perform updates (which I normally do). Otherwise it just stays the way it is and does not reboot on its own.

Windows 11 - it introduced enough flow disrupting changes so for now my attitude is fuck it. Will see what happens in the future.

My favorite thing is when people apply anglosphere reporting norms to the US. January 6th becomes sectarian violence as security forces clash with extremists over a contested election. It sounds just as absurd applied elsewhere, but we're so used to hearing it in that context. It all boils down to "[ethnicity] is at it again!" when applied to oft-stereotyped peoples.

You and the people who created the Great Barrington declaration make it sound like "being at risk" is a binary and rare condition. In fact, most people in the US have risk factors[1] like being overweight, physical inactivity, being pregnant (~5% of the total population is pregnant at any point in time), being over 65 (16% of the US population), and many others.

I'd guess most commercial displays are the consumer hardware with an alternate firmware. But the difference in firmware can mean a lack of HDCP 2.0/2.2. I bought a new TV recently and I wanted to go with a commercial display. It was unfortunately hard to find reviews of such displays and/or lists of missing features (HDCP 2.0, etc). I ended up just getting a consumer TV and banning it from the Internet. All it's content comes through an AppleTV so I don't need or want any of its native apps.

It's a ridiculous state of affairs that I have to jump through hoops just to get a TV to display a fucking video feed. I don't need or want the TV's software. I don't need or want a UI more complicated than the old analog TV genlocked character generator UI. I'll plug smart stuff into the TV if I want.

Edit: Added HDCP version
1. Just check the tires.
2. Read the manual
3. Not sure about every implementation but it still possible to tell by storing wheel rpm associated with engine rpm, gear and steering angle the first few miles after setting it.

There are many cars with tpms in the wheel that still won’t tell you what wheel it is or what’s the pressure, so I still much rather have no sensor to deal with trading the “inconvenience” of checking the tires once the light comes on, which is what you would do anyway.

No. Is it not common knowledge that viruses are a constant threat to human life that we must live with? Do you remember before COVID when people got sick and died and the world still turned? Unfortunately, we are all mortal. We can't live this way forever. We stopped society because of things like what happened in New York. That's not happening anymore. COVID is now a hazard of life.
