SCM support being baked in, I can't add support for our company git server since I'd need permissions to set it to return some kind of headers which I'm never going to get.

Now my code has references to github all over it and no chance to replace that dependency without a massive code change - something that may not be even practical.

The "replace" directive .... ha ha ha. Never got it to work for me - a total joke. Obviously it must work in some simple situation but apparently not mine.

The misery of trying to fork a library or just the subcomponent of that library that I need to change and use.

The strange special directories (internal, vendor, ....)

WTF is a "package" really and how does that relate to where you put code? It just seems to be a complete disconnect with where you put things or how you import them and is very confusing.

executables having to be alone in their own cmd directory.

Essentially that I hit mysterious import related problems that require continual careful reading of the docs to work out what I'm falling foul of.

Working out what is the real difference between GOPATH and GOROOT - you can read the docs many many times without understanding the straightjacket that the wise Go developers think should fit everyone and so you get problem after problem until you start to understand why "computer says no."

Creating read-only files in your home account so that you cannot "blow away" (without some trouble) the caching that is hiding or causing your latest module importing problem.

Sorry, the whole business is a great non-joy to have to deal with.
Wasn’t aware of that study, but I do think it’s still pretty widely accepted science we have some internal timekeeping facilities. But if we indeed do not, that speaks even more to the importance of sunrise time in regulating our bodies!
It really depends on what the update does.

Sometimes an update just fixes some incompatibility with some specific hardware. If you are not using that hardware then there probably isn't much benefit from updating. Well, at least if you are either sure that you won't need to use that incompatible hardware later, or are sure that if you ever do need that hardware you will still be able to update.

Sometimes though an update fixes a more pressing defect. For example I updated the firmware on my Samsung 840 EVO drives several years ago because of this issue that caused significant performance degradation [1].

Another example is a firmware update I recently applied to my AKiTio Thunder3 Quad Mini Thunderbolt storage enclosure. The issue there was that when MacOS put drives to sleep occasionally the enclosure would report that the drive ejected. Getting the drive back seemed to require ejecting the other drives in the enclosure and then power cycling it.

This was annoying, but easy to work around by setting the OS to not put drives to sleep. All my drives were SSD so keeping them awake didn't use too much extra power. I ran like this while waiting for them to release a firmware update. After a couple years of waiting I stopped checking.

After a couple years or so of not checking, I remembered and checked and sure enough there was an update specifically for this issue. It was a bit of a pain because they had discontinued the Thunder3 Quad Mini a while back, and some time after that had stopped updating their firmware updater for it. It only ran on MacOS up through 10.15.7, and I was on 12.something.

I ended up using a USB SATA dock and an old spinning disk that was lying around to install MacOS 10.15.something on that and boot from it so I could run AKiTio's updater. Worked like a charm. It would have been a lot more annoying if I hadn't happened to have had the USB dock and old drive sitting around.

Where do you draw the line on "neighbor"? Somebody who lives in your general area, or somebody from the other side of the world?
It's a bit loose, isn't it? You can shoot someone if it's the only way to prevent them ruffling your hair, escaping from an arrest for shoplifting, or inciting a political protest.

But the ECHR is meant to be a lowest common denominator: states are encouraged to have their own stricter prohibitions on human rights abuses.
Sorry. Media coverage would have no perceivable difference in the nature of response to Syrians vs Ukrainians. Rightly or Wrongly it is about what people are comfortable with. Europeans are more comfortable with other Europeans settling near them. Unfortunately there is a religious aspect too in this which I don't need to spell out. Some of that is a fear of what you don't know, but (again) unfortunately it is also sometimes the justified fear of more radical elements of the religion.
oh wow. I wish I seen that before. As a team with Russian origin, our slack account is under risk (however not shut down yet). This is sad.
I sent a few messages myself. Didn't get any replies but it is such an easy thing to do that I see no harm it trying it.

Even if it takes 10,000 messages to make 1 person change their mind it would be worth it for me.
Why do you think it was parody or an attack? It fully admits that millennial design is intentionally boring and sterile and it tries to figure out what Gen-Z wants instead.
While this can be an issue, it's an obvious one and I'd say a good reason to avoid manufacturers and devices that enable such anti-user behaviour.

Generally speaking though, outside of printer ink, which I've always considered to be a racket, this sort of thing is perhaps less of an issue.

That's not to say people like Sonos and others haven't used firmware updates to brick otherwise perfectly functional devices in order to force consumers to "upgrade" before now.

TeamViewer at least is basically just a commercial wrapper over a slightly enhanced (Ultra) VNC.

Which makes it great for remote support sessions, but I wouldn't use it for the same purposes as RDP.
The banter and discussion here is great and I love to see all the culture discussion, but I'm compelled to ask, why is this in hacker news? Not that I mind, just seems a bit, off-topic?
> There is no nuance. Just blind hate.

That's where your comment falls in exactly the same trap it decries. No, there is not just blind hate. Yes, some people act badly and shouldn't, but it does not generalize that way.
It's the reason why I'm still using xterm where I can. Even on the screenshots in the OP, the xterm font comes out super crisp.
That's an interesting whataboutist take.

I would mostly agree, but:

- fleeing your home country because its inhabitants (including yourself) have let it go to shits and you have a choice between keeping on tolerating what has been always there or just NOW deciding to flee

vs.

- fleeing your home country which for the last few years has started going to the right direction, has hope of becoming part of a much more welcoming and tolerant world .. because some thugs are literally killing your family, bombing your house and you either flee or risk dying.

There is no question which of those two uses up all of my empathy. Once the war has stopped, once all who have lost their actual home have it back, then we may have empathy for the people who let this happen.
Is there a similar board open to Russian refugees? Asking seriously, for myself and some friends. I wouldn't mind if priority is given to war refugees from Ukraine, of course.

Edit: refugee (n.) - a person who has been forced to leave their country to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.
Why is the Tibet situation sad, and the Belgium situation xenophobic?
It is convenient. As you can see on this page, I was simply responding to someone else that I also don't change the clocks - like them. Other sibling posters commented similarly.

I'm sure you remember passwords, next to which the number 1 is quite easy to recall immediately. Don't make it complicated when it is easy.
Russian pilots started flying Syrian flagged bombers well before 2015. Russia was the primary weapons supplier to the Syrian regime throughout the conflict.
I was holding off purchasing a 5950x because I wanted to see what the next gen looked like. While the 5800X3D has a ridiculous amount of L3 cache it doesn't have the same core count. I'm really interested in benchmarks... the price of the 5950x has dropped considerably in the last week or so. It's very tempting to just go with it.
MacBook Pro m1 or macbook pro m1 pro. Search engines don’t like this at all
To tell the truth I can not understand why do people get offended from something meant to be offendful. Just use the bits of code which are working properly and do not cosplay Russians at their ability to see enemy forces at anything. Doesn't the situation with kik and leftpad teaches us something?
> Normal, cambered wings work because of the Bernoulli effect, where pressure is lower above the wing because of the way airflow is designed.

Wait a minute. I thought this was debunked quite some time ago?

> Lift is not generated by pushing air down, the wing is literally getting sucked upwards.

Lift must be generated by pushing something down because otherwise you'd have a violation of Newton's laws. And the only way that pushing something down doesn't move that something is when that something is a solid support (like for example the chair I'm sitting on right now), which is not the case of an airplane in flight.
Power hungry politicians always looking for the next thing to control. It’s like unabashed capitalism - it doesn’t matter if profits maintain, the expected trajectory is that they increase, so executives do that, and ultimately become evil in the process. Think about it this way - if we had the “perfect” set of laws for a given region, there would be no work for the legislators to do!
I’ve gotten laid off twice despite department VPs two levels up trying to keep me.

The second time I realized that there is no point in trusting in anything related to my relationship with the company.

It doesn’t matter how good you are when the people making decisions either don’t know or don’t care. Eventually you become inconvenient in some way and you get removed.
Politics is not the same thing as facts.

In politics people make things up and mislead in order to further their goals. This is a very clear case of this, like previously the claim that Iraq had WMDs was.
Sure, but it also doesn't work when running a proper Linux distribution from that same SSD, exactly like the author of the article described.

It's also an NVMe drive. I have a pretty vague idea of how PCI-Express drives work, but don't they go directly to the CPU without any storage controllers? It's more of a IDE/SATA/SAS/whatever thing.
I thought it was pretty clear no? The higher the number the better and the G means graphics? Am I missing something?
So did America actually just change timezones?...
I don't think this is true. I have received a lot of support among friends, work and my broader social network helping to get out an anti-war Russian from the country. This is spread between Denmark and Germany.
From my experience it is much bigger share of Russians living abroad who oppose Putin, and I've met many at demonstrations, but it is not a majority. I'd say 50/50. Still much better share compared to those living in Russia (including my relatives).
Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System (Poseidon)
Could it be that only the UI is in Java? I’m on mobile, I did not check sources, but that would be reasonable.
Except when part of the world undergoes a change in the clocks weeks before other parts of the world does, so now the world has to deal with the same change twice. So this makes it 4 times a year the world has to deal with the confusion, not just twice. Hell, I'm only familiar with US/UK, so maybe it's even more???
Your last paragraph goes too far to me. China represses its whole population. Yes, all empires are inherently "evil", but there are far more freedoms in the "west" than in China. You can't just equate them. This site we are talking on could not exist in China.
Relativistic Light Sails Need to Billow
Their initial intention was possibly genuine, but there are strong incentives for secrecy (trade secrets), in addition to the U.S. military most likely having an interest in suppressing information to avoid someone else creating AI first.
If you’re going to practice coding like some master craftsman, employing techniques that took years to hone and where every carefully selected pattern, though inscrutable to an untrained eye, carries the thumbprint of an artist at the height of his power…

Well, number one congratulations to you on finding a patron willing to fund such fine and intricate work. I hope they appreciate their good fortune in having lucked into getting such an artist to work on their project.

But number two, how do you plan on this model being sustained into the future? Have you taken on an apprentice to whom you can pass on the ancient wisdom to which you are privy and which only another equally enlightened ‘cranky old prima donna’ could possibly be expected to grok?

Where are the next generation of ‘experienced and capable’ developers going to come from if you are off working solo in your cave for… twenty-five months at a time on your masterpieces?

And where did you acquire these unique and precious skills that are not available to young developers who are, you surmise as you peer out of the cave at everybody else, only capable of producing dependency-laden garbage? Did you trek to the top of a mountain and study at the feet of the ancient wise ones?

Or did you just write a whole bunch of code, and pick some stuff up along the way?

As you sit in the corner and whittle away at your masterwork, combining thirty year old patterns with the latest language features, I wonder what gives you such supreme certainty that your mastery of your craft is such that you are creating something far above the standard others could achieve?

Because, speaking as someone who works on large team development projects, I can tell you there is nothing in the world of development that scares me more than a developer who says ‘I know this code’s hard to grok but trust me it’s really beautifully engineered’.

Job market in Poland is open to refugee workers and education system is opened to their children. They'll be even getting PESEL which is national identification number in Poland that citizens get.
For the first time in 2022 I maxed out the 3600x I got when it came out (2018?). And it wasn’t a game, it was my girlfriends R script to do metabarcoding of some bacteria. 100% usage across every core sustained for 15min.

However what shocked me was that my base M1 pro was a few minutes faster. (Same amount of ram)

Still fast enough that it’s not worth an upgrade, but we’ll see once she starts transcriptomix
> Where do you draw the line

There is no universal logical line. It is also very patronising to try and tell a cultral group of people who they should or shouldn't consider their neighbour. This isn't to say comparisons shouldn't be drawn between the different scenarios just that doing so while proposing that the solution is racism (or similar) will lead to nothing consutructive and only bitterness and resentment at the accusations.
This is a very good take. I've seen products being bashed on because they don't push out regular updates. In my opinion, the less updates the software needs, the better it is.

Bad news, the ssd firmware is also proprietary
Awesome. Also, see this great YouTube video of what you would see if you fell into a Black Hole. Is also has a very good explanations of what you are seeing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rTv9wvvat8
Why are you hostile to the idea of owning what you paid for, and being against the never stopping train of companies who want to extract rent from you?
>badmouthed

You say "badmouthed", I say "exposed". Clearly this person was a Tesla fan, he was merely demonstrating (perhaps inadvertently) the inadequacies of a system for which there's am ongoing misleading narrative.
The contrast could not be more stark.

Ukraine has sent their women and children to safety, the men, their leaders, and even many women are staying to fight against overwhelming odds. Literally nobody ever wants a flood of young men into their country.

The Russian invasion of Crimea was already basically ignored 8 years ago. I am 100% certain that if the war had gone something closer to how Putin had hoped, if Zelenskyy has fled to the west, if the military had backed down and the people given up, the response would be similar this time as well.
FB avoids licensing and regulation by minimizing scrutiny of listings. The terms governing FB marketplace absolve it of responsibility of fraudulent listings as FB claims a passive role in exchanging information but not scrutinizing it. There are some things that FB may do, and it will be interesting to see what is legally within their rights to do so. Otherwise, FB will need to register and license itself, and meet compliance requirements, in thousands of regulated markets.
Probably he means an ability to "show the door" / "to be shown the door" per se.
As far as I understand, this is usually the job of your mail server (I've done it with Exchange and GSuite). You add the domain to your mail server and then create aliases (or wildcards) in there and add them to your account, and then when you reply you can reply from the alias.
Ever talk to anyone who works shift work? Sleeps all day, works all night for a few days then has a few days off when they switch to daytime wakefulness? What is their concept of today and tomorrow?
This statement is misleading as is evident by the top replies.

He, as many Tesla employees do, got FSD for free from Tesla. He still owns the free FSD after being fired, which as it being an employee perk already seems strange to me.

FSD beta is a closed beta only for people in the top ~1% safety scores and can be revoked for any reason (as has been done for reckless drivers). I assume another Tesla tester perk (he was employed as an FSD tester after all) is getting into the beta program regardless of your safety score. Revoking that employee-privilege after firing is not taking something he owns.

AFAIK Tesla has never taken unlocked addons such as FSD away from cars that were paid for.

Stacksmashing was able to get Doom running on an RP2040 with an LCD screen. I'd love to see it running on the Lily-GO board.

SSD firmware issues? I think you mean SSD issues that are solved by new firmware?
>Elon already proved he would use Starlink to assist Nato.

It was a bit of a joke but there is some truth to it.

Do you think only civilians use the internet connection he provided? The troops that Nato trained for the past 8 or so years rely on uninterrupted internet connections as well.

Teslas are a perfect mobile surveillance tool with cameras, GPS, remote control capabilities, etc...

It's not a stretch to expect they could easily be used as ground versions of aerial drones with the benefit of plausable deniability (FSD Beta did it).
You're missing the second half of your reasoning here. Why would Java applications be unsuitable for something CPU intensive? It matters more how you build your program than what technology you use, as long as you use the right data structures and algorithms, Java is as suitable for CPU intensive tasks as any other language.

For what it's worth, a BitTorrent client will (usually) be more limited by network and disk I/O than by your CPU, as those tend to be the bottleneck when it comes to transferring large amount of data/large amount of small packets (DHT).
I'm not ignoring anything. Obama was successful in his first year, in part because of how much effort he put into being bipartisan. He did not have much success in getting Republicans to vote for his massive landmark policies, but his Supreme Court nominee sailed through confirmation.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/73971-obamas-fir...

Generally, Republicans were very engaged in solving problems in the first year, but faced the reality of a democrat supermajority. Obama made many concessions in the bills he passed despite not getting many Republicans to vote.

There's nothing inconsistent there with a contentious but effective government. Sure it would be nice to have gotten more Republicans to vote yes, but the process was working.

After he passed Obamacare, in which he abandoned all negotiations with Republicans and flexed his supermajority power, the only appropriate response was stonewalling.

It's happening again too.

Fascinating to me that the one thing the Senate unanimously agrees on, HackerNews finds it incredibly controversial and discusses it for 2000+ comments.
That reminds me of an internal hard disk I had several years ago. I think it was a Seagate, but it might have been Western Digital. This was a retail drive bought at BestBuy, and the box specifically said that it worked with Windows, MacOS, and Linux, although it noted that their fancy add-on software only worked under Windows. No problem for me, because I didn't need the fancy add-on software.

A year later the drive developed some bad sectors. It was still under warranty so qualified for a free replacement. All I needed to do was get an RMA number and ship the drive to them.

But to get an RMA number you had to run their diagnostic software which, if it decided the drive really did have a problem, would issue the RMA number.

That diagnostic software was Windows only.

I ended up temporarily moving the drive to my Windows gaming box to run the diagnostic. I'm not sure what would have happened if I had been a purely MacOS and Linux household.

There was a Windows program out maybe 20 years ago called Elephant Tracks which did this. The developer shut the program down because of piracy.
The word refugee has legal meaning. You cannot be called refugee unless your country is deemed unsafe and you risk your life being in that country. Thus Russians are not refugees but economic migrants.

>Our great HN community here throws rocks at Tesla and FSD Beta any chance they get.

Wow, you and I have totally different perspectives. I see people rightly calling out the limitations and dangers of a technology whose benefits are greatly exaggerated by sycophants.

It's telling that you say a Tesla employee, car owner and fan is generating "bad press" by showing that the technology isn't what is claimed.
Well, I am currently trying to help a Russian escape Russia for his antiwar sentiments so you really ought to be clear about which part of anti-Russian bias I am representing.

Should you have arguments that don't lean on Mearsheimer or provably false promises against NATO expansion [1], I'd be happy to continue.

And what if it’s less common than you say and you’d just have to accept that you’re in the minority here? Do you think that (right or wrong) could have anything to do with what’s going on?
