Ask HN: I ask for the link of an article of personal development published on HN
Can you give me the URL of a HN article, published between March and January (both inclusive), bound to an article written by a spy that explained how to get people to like you and influence them please?

I think I remember one of the things he advised was to make people feel like they were making a choice.
When I was shopping for a refrigerator, I went to a local appliance center and talked to a person there. I learned a few things:

- In door water dispensers and ice makers are unreliable and will likely break.

- Availability of repair technicians and spare parts varies by brand and is region dependent.

- Different brands are good at different appliances. For instance, Bosch is well known for their dishwashers. Unfortunately I didn't find one in my budget that clearly stood out from the rest.

Never hurts to talk to someone at a local appliance center if you have one nearby.
I didn't make the list, just found it. Fortunately, it's Wikipedia so you can edit it if you want.
Nice! I just looked at it yesterday when I was collecting resources on architecture of WebApps in python. I found that Refactoring guru also has python examples for them pattern section.

Not necessarily. It can just test the resistance of the port/cable to see if anything is there. The first device (power provider) to detect the cable can say "ok, I got plugged in first" and then tell the other device (the consumer) that when they try to negotiate power delivery. That doesn't require maintaining state in the cable itself, just that the devices be able to detect the cable when it's plugged in (even without the other end connected).

Overview of USB power delivery negotiation: https://www.embedded.com/usb-type-c-and-power-delivery-101-p...

And then after the initial connection, the devices can renegotiate their roles if you want to reverse the charge.

It's great when it actually works. In the real world there are so many incompatible implementations that USB-C is a real clusterfuck.

Note that the 84% number is for a prototype model... 77% is for an on-the-market model, and it is beaten in efficiency by conventional electric for cookware matched in size to the heating ring.

Also, while gas is 'just a flame', the heat mostly rises, and right above it is the pan. Noticing that the pan, the hob, and the room feel warm/hot afterwards can be deceptive because the specific heat capacity of metal is 8x lower than that of the water in the food you're cooking, so you'd likely underestimate the efficiency.
The overwhelming majority of HVAC energy use is for comfort, not survival.
You can do that with boost:: or absl:: right now. No need to involve the standards committee at all.
I guess it depends on how you CI and build process is setup. Caddy does an excellent job of doing per-customer custom builds.

If I may, there's no real reason to break out ACL vs. NAACL vs. EMNLP, since they're all run by the ACL and one would be hard-pressed to say how the EMNLP community might differ from the ACL community at this point. And if you're doing NAACL you might want to do EACL and IJCNLP too.

I think you can add default constructor manually. Something like this:

public record Foo(int X, int Y)
{
public Foo():this(0,0) { }
}

Or make all parameters optional

public record Foo(int X = 0, int Y = 0);

Yes, the glory days of game rips (sorry, gamez and ripz) on DALnet channels full of uber-leet color codes and DCC-based fserv interfaces.

I miss the old internet.
I’d say MAC/IP filtering is more annoying in the long term than Wireguard, since I’m not sure I could say that I will 100% never need to access the server unexpectedly from somewhere else.

But the ordering before that seem very reasonable. Although Wireguard is a soft alternative to changing default port, so it might be worth doing that.

On a slight tangent, I’ve never really bought into changing SSH port from default. I’d say the convenience of not having config/extra port specification is worth having it on a well known port, but that’s just my personal philosophy. I feel like for my low traffic things, just having strong SSH key and auto-updates is good enough.
The whole trend toward custom Lithium-ion battery packs seems to be driven by making devices thinner--not just phones, tablets, and laptops, but everything. They then integrate a USB, micro-USB, or even USB-C charger.

Rechargeable is nice...replaceable is nice. But rechargeable and replaceable?

I hope that we get back on a trend to use standard batteries, like AAAs, which have many excellent rechargeable Lithium-ion options now. I have plenty of AA/AAA-powered devices and about a dozen or so rechargeable AAA's cycling in and out. For some reason rechargeable 9-volt batteries haven't really caught on. They seem to have weak capacity and are expensive.
Was the Bay of Pigs invasion rational?

Are invasions and overthrow of governments somehow okay when they install a pro-democratic and/or US-friendly leader? What if it fails and that leader turns out to be worse than the previous one?

Keep in mind that the US/NATO has been closely involved in many of these overthrows: Libya, Yemeni, Syria, Iraq, Uganda, Somalia, Pakistan, Yugoslavia, Panama, Grenada. Pretty much all of these involved lots of civilian death and collateral damage.

These aren't kremlin talking points, this is history. It's important to try to break out of the filter bubble and consider alternative viewpoints. At least consider the possibility that NATO is abusing its power and taking actions that are far beyond its original charter/purpose.
In terms of obsolete GoF patterns, Flyweight is my nomination. It's not that it's useless, is just that in an era of 64 MB of RAM, it makes sense that people might need to know about it, but in an era of 64 GB of RAM the need is diminished to the point that only the people who have those problems need to worry about it.

And if you do have those problems, it isn't even necessarily what you would reach for first. Though it's at least on the list.
Thanks for checking my math. Looks like we’d need to stagger them by about 100 million km to be somewhat reasonable.

It’s still 400,000 times less distance to transmit a signal so it would help.
Usually you perform scans with highly defined IP blocks (at least when you have a target in mind) that are announced by the organizations themselves. Since the ranges are announced publicly, you already have them. Since you have a target in mind, you already have at least one IP. Now take a range that includes that target, and you have a block that has at least one host inside of it. Use masscan that can do 10 million packets/second (with just one machine) and I'm pretty sure you can feasibly scan IPv6 blocks as well, you just have to get better at targeting and not just wildly target "0.0.0.0/8" (but the IPv6 equivalent).

Moreover, you can scan for one common port inside a block (like 22, 80, 443 or whatever) which means you can cover wider blocks, and for the hosts you find, run a scan covering a bigger range of ports. Again, improve the targeting and IPv6 won't stop you either.
During holiday trips, where I might need to access a server from anywhere, I use a list of one time passwords (more or less just a bunch of md5sums) which I can send to a server on https, which then adds the requesting ip address to /etc/hosts.allow for a limited time. This ip address will be able to connect via ssh (still secured with a key) then for that time.
My hypothesis is that the groups that were typically associated with steadfast racist views were typically technically illiterate, so this intersection with Mavis Beacon just didn’t happen.

Ah, interesting, I've actually never waited to see if it syncs eventually or not. I am slow rolling my move from 1Password, about 70% moved over. Every time I go to login somewhere and there's no Bitwarden entry, I copy that login over by hand and then delete from 1P. So my use case so far has always been immediate sync which I have to trigger by hand (a lot of clicks to get there too).

In my mind, if everything was open source or there were no IP restrictions, a lot of this stuff would happen automatically. Companies would tend to standardize on parts after a while as everyone would clone the good parts of everyone else. Open source 3D printers always have cheap replacement parts widely available.

These regulations are trying to use the state to correct for problems that in some cases occur because the state granted them monopoly protections for their IP. The state could simply not offer those protections to prevent a lot of these issues.

> You say all this as if "both sides" of this have equal power.

No, I said I didnt understand the vehemence.

> The reality is that if you need more flexible working arrangements

Yes, I don't think I'm going ever really go back full time. Currently, I come in ~twice a week.

I've worked with remote singular and remote offices for years(10+) before covid. Its been part of tech for a long time. Even my dad has be doing remote since the early 90s (if not more)

If you have decent planning, ticketing and retros then you'll know if your remote(or any other) team are not performing well.

> Essentially, it can't work unless everyone adopts a remote-first approach where major discussions happen in writing out in the open.

I just don't think that's right. Sure people need to be included in the "room" to make the decision, but that's not the same a remote vs office. Decisions are only a tiny part, the rest is execution and unblocking.

don't get me wrong, you need to have a culture of respect and brining people up to speed, siloing doesn't work well.
> Proponents of remote work don’t generally oppose hybrid or in person for anyone else who prefers it

This is true, but in most of the rhetoric I see, this gets omitted (I'll assume with benign intentions). There's also a lot of people on social media (e.g twitter) who wax lyrical about how it's only controlling management teams who want people in an office, and how everyone else wants remote. As an IC who hates remote on a personal level, it makes me feel increasingly marginalised and depressed.
I don't feel the same way about bacteria colonizing my skin as I do about an ecologically dead crop monoculture that came into style among the British nobility as a way to show off wealth (look peasants! I don't need to grow food with my land)

If I ignore the smell of my body I'll eventually be rewarded with a staph infection or worse. If I don't use grass monoculture on my lawn I eventually am rewarded with pollinators, blooms, and an ecologically active space.

Lawns require 200 gallons of drinking water per day. In 2005, the amount of lawn cultivated in the US would cover the entire terrestrial surface of Texas. We use 17 million gallons of gas on lawn mowers every year, and tens of millions of pounds of chemical fertilizer and pesticides. All said, Americans spend more than $36 billion USD a year on lawn care, more than 4x the annual budget of the Environmental Protection Agency.

At least with a shower I get something out of the water I used. With lawns what do you get? Empty green space. Fuck bees, fuck butterflies, fuck rabbits, I need my neighbors to know I can afford to let my land lay fallow in an aesthetically inert way.

Well no. In this case the universal answer fails.

Yeah, the annoying thing about that button is it defaults to “on”, though.

So if you’re, say, opening a video in incognito because you want to watch a single video without that channel being recommended for the next 6 months, that little autoplay button is always toggling itself back on.

I had issues creating passwords and syncing them too, until I changed my git repo url to be `ssh://git@github.com/…` and set up an SSH key. Worth a shot.
How hot is it there and how much does it rain? I grew up in Idaho, where in the summer it'd get to 42-44C relatively regularly. And there was at most 200mm of precipitation a year. Most of the grass in my parents' neighborhood was Kentucky Bluegrass. Mowing the lawn weekly was something that happened to help a bit with water retention.

My dad always insisted on mowing every 4 days though.

Working hard to lay a solid foundation for future generations is a noble idea, but it doesn't follow that simply "working hard" will lead to that end. I don't think putting in 60+ hours a week at PepsiCo, overseeing the production of sugar water that poisons people, will help the future. Or struggling to make better weapons or scientific discoveries that may be weaponized. Etc. In other words, there are a lot of self-destructive tendencies in the work we are doing. We could be working hard to dig our own graves.

Blind optimism is bound to get us into trouble. I'd prefer some facts that support the thesis that a strong work ethic always leads to a brighter future.

The Nazi's worked hard. The communists in Russia worked really hard. Things didn't turn out so well for them.

You should include documentation with your software. Too many modern programs lack sufficient documentation, and that makes them difficult to use.
One thing i personally noticed and wanted to ask someone who might know (perhaps they are reading this)

Does the abundance of color in the modern world harm bees in any way? I ask this because I've seen bees repeatedly fly into modern packaging, signage and bright clothing. I can imagine that the wasted energy flying into a sign that is as colorful as a flower harms bees.

But I'm not sure if there's studies on this or if it is even a big deal. So opportunistically asking here in this semi related thread to see if others have thought about this.

If services like Netflix had a market built in for users to request translation/subtitles and there was some sort of royalty/bonus for translating titles that are popular with the demand for the right languages.

But we will probably get government mandated translated services that few people will use for most of the translators time.

But hey at least I have the option of watching some old crappy movies with a dozen First Nations languages that are barely spoken and French dubbed and subtitled for me. (Canada is insane)
Time does not determine titles, skills do.
Swallowing a battery can cause devastating internal injuries including death. I would try to find a way to strongly discourage the behavior and not encourage it for that reason.
This just proves my point. Quite a generous framing to support your subjective view! "Technology relevant to our survival in different climates" can also be restated as "wasting energy and resources to support people living comfortably in naturally uninhabitable environments", it just depends on what degree of an environmentalist extremist you are.

Why should we burn endless amounts of gas/coal/other energy when the "natural" solution is to either naturally adapt or to simply live in more habitable environments.

Anyways, yes, I'll give you that comparing HVAC to lawns is silly, but it doesn't take much imagination to think of less silly examples that we accept. So my question is who draws the lines? Whose standard is the standard that everyone should follow? Manicured lawns not cool, ok. What about backyard pools? What about irrigation systems? What about drainage ditches or other infrastructure that allow for land to perk so more housing can be made available, but negatively affects downstream wildlife? Etc, etc.
I don’t know how to deal with legal things. I spoke with my local SBA advisor who said I need to get a lawyer since I will be collecting PII.

However, do you know of any services or specific people who can help (cookie cutter service for people getting started/noobs)?

And don't get me started on cars!

That’s a good point - I’ve seen free memory drop every time I’ve built the larger file systems (and not from just the cache), but I never tried to quantify it. And I don’t see any good stats or notes on it.

seems like no one is building these larger systems on boxes small enough for it to matter, or at least google isn’t finding it.

> Also, freedom of speech is a principle applied on the relation of people with the state, an issue for public law. This is about a private enterprise and its relations with its users, subject to the regulation of private law.

Freedom of speech is a philosophical principle. Laws based on the philosophy have been written, but they are not the broader principle itself. The laws are just one instance of the principle.

So when we criticize a private actor for going against freedom of speech, we are not saying that they break the law, or that they aren't allowed to do what they do. They plainly are.

What we are saying is that we like the principle, and would like to see the private organization act so as to uphold the principle. This is especially true if they have advertised themselves as being pro the principle before but have backtracked since.

A huge part of DDG's position before was to escape your results being shaped for you by the search provider. Now DDG is doing that on top of whatever Bing does.
