Not OP, but a few things come to mind:

1) Possibly to decrease coats of living?

2) Location might not have much better to offer? (Dunno how likely?)

3) Social situation (family, friends, niche industry?)

Growing up, I never thought I would find a career I enjoyed. Never had an answer for what I wanted to be. Very happy to be in tech and working on things that make millions of people’s lives better.
Depending on the zoning laws it might be legal for the landlord to rent the house to two families, so they might only be renting the (finished) basement with limited rights to using amenities like the garage and kitchen.
Secondhand CPAPs are readily available in most places. I bought a ResMed Airfit S9 (barely used) for $200. You can learn to find your own ideal pressure settings using open source software for reading your CPAP data (OSCAR). This is almost always necessary when getting a prescription, btw, so you lose little by just doing it yourself.
>Is there a job for designing packaging specifically for munitions? If so, I'm wondering how does the job description look like.

It's the same as designing packaging for anything else. They just want industry specific experience depending on the role. These companies are getting their entry level hires from the same pool of engineering grads everyone else is.
How about Strida? I had a folding bike and always found that the chain grease in my pants was a limiting factor.

It's not clear to me, why does the world needs another JDK? What does this offer that currently isn't out there?
This sort of assumes one lives someplace where rents are cheap. If you rented that basement apartment in the first place, it's a pretty good sign you were in need of somewhere extremely cheap... And in markets like NYC where you need a minimum of 4x the monthly rent just to move in, it can be hard to climb out of the basement (both metaphorically and literally)
I agree with the general sentiment of this & wish I had a better view. My office is currently in my basement (only practical place in our house for it). I probably spend around 60% of my working hours there, the other 40% I'm on my laptop in various locations around the house to keep it fresh.

One thing I've found to help is growing some plants indoors. I have a few grow lights on 12h timers that keep me a little grounded to the rhythm of the Earth. However nothing beats the energy you get from a natural view.
People actually tasted it.
We have 35 manufacturer with different material sources. More than 80 % of our suppliers are based in Germany. 10% of the parts are made in Italy, then we have MKS (pedals) and Shimano (gearshifter) from Japan, some parts come from Taiwan and some from China.
We already know ApeCoin is a liquidity event scam and the web3 VCs are doing the same thing as they did here: [0] It is not just ApeCoin.

They collaborate with tons of exchanges to orchestrate the scam and list the coins they want all at the same time of the launch. Rinse and repeat.

Hardly anything surprising and new here sherlock.

I think the slope of the yield curve is determined by the expectations of future fed rate policy.
I use Clojure every day at work and it's my favorite dynamic functional language. That said, I think in large projects like the one I'm working in, a statically typed language would've been better. I know Clojure has spec and other similar libraries but it's just not a replacement for static typing.

I love Clojure and would use it for small projects if given the chance but I think there are diminishing returns when you scale up, specially if you deal with a complex data structures which get encoded and decoded to JSON (messes up things like keywords).
I agree that the fate of a tank engineer being struck by an anti-tank missile is not great, but when comparing the scenarios of having a tank be disabled and its crew dismembered with the devastation that said tank will bring to civilians and civilian buildings, I'd much rather have the tank get disabled. The sad reality is that the tank operators will probably operate a tank to commit some atrocities some time before the anti-tank missile will be able to commit it's own atrocities upon the tank.

I think pointing out that weapons of war are bad is like saying that water is wet. However, comparing the power of destruction between the tank and the anti-tank missile launcher, both can disable each other, but the damage one can do to humans and infrastructure is just disproportionate - it's ultimately a moral good to destroy a tank.
> helicopters and planes won't work there.

They could, provided they have very large wings. Lower gravity helps, but near vacuum on the surface, winds and dust storms are problematic.

OTOH, SSTO is easier on Mars and there will be quite a surplus of rocket engines, at least at the start of the colonization effort. Suborbitals are much easier.

Finally, I think settlements will tend to be closer to each other because it's easier to manage emergencies when one does not require air travel.
That is definitely the idea, but a surprising amount is transacted at summits. I used to think they were merely window dressing on top of all they work done by the “sherpas”, but I guess ego or whatever is still important
Nothing got me out of my apartment like living in a crappy place.

Though I can imagine that it can wear you down along with other things that may be going on in your life, at which point perhaps it's time to change things up in a big way, like moving, to reset your disposition and find new experiences.

10 years in a place you despise seems like one of those points.
Indeed, morality is twisted in war times. But I don't think they are celebrating killing fellow humans, they are celebrating defending their homeland from invaders.

I'm generally pro-peace in every single way. But I see a difference in celebrations from the people who are invading versus celebrations from the people who are defending themselves against invaders. One I'm fine with, the other I'm not.

As many others have already done, the people in the tank has a choice between continuing to follow orders, or going against orders and leave their jobs/equipment behind. I feel very little sympathy right now towards the people who are continuing to follow orders even if they are aware they are invading their bordering country.
that's quite an exaggeration, and it hurts me personally to think that when I go out and im the only one wearing a mask, people are looking at me as though I'm engaged in a "religious act". For people who aren't immunocompromised, the N95 will grant a significant level of protection even if others aren't masked, especially if you're outdoors or in an otherwise well ventilated space, if you have short interactions from those who aren't masked and maintain distance, it all helps. obviously if I had my N95 and spent three hours in a crowded bar, that's a bit pointless, talking here about places that aren't tightly packed with non-masked people who are all talking 2 inches away from each other.

It is obviously not absolute protection and of course going nowhere at all is the best protection, but a properly worn N95 combined with up-to-date vaccination goes pretty far for someone who is fortunate enough to not be already immunocompromised and is fine avoiding places like concerts, clubs and bars.
I also come from Archlinux. A few months ago I discovered the mpr repository [1]. It is essentially the same as the AUR bit for Ubuntu. The syntax is also the same as the AUR packages, so it is super easy to port a package to Ubuntu. I highly recommend it.

AppleClang is also just not open source at all as far as I'm aware.

I fixed a bug in a compiler where apple deprecated object destructors with apparently very little reason or announcement.
Heck, putting in a best 20 hours is often better than standard 40h of which a lot is stalled or peak focus is out.
There are no friends in the spy game; this should have become abundantly clear after the revelations on US tapping the German chancellor as a matter of routine.

There might well be something that, say, some US interests want and Brazilian entities are not willing to share. Enter a bit of XXI century spycraft, and everyone is happy.

This said, it seems a bit too exposed to be an intelligence op, even as diversion. Even if misdirecting, it is raising alarms and improving the security posture of the affected organisations afterwards, which you typically wouldn't want as a spook. You want to put down invisible roots, to let everyone sleep soundly while you go about your business undetected.

To me this looks like an average gang with slightly above-average tech skills, drunk on their own success - with a mindset to "get rich, or die trying".

Parsing dynamic JSON in Rust with serde_json
I had one of these around 1997. It was pretty fast and affordable, but had some major holes in its feature set. I remember it didn’t support OpenGL style custom blending, so a game that rendered explosions using an additive-blended sphere would just display an opaque expanding sphere.

Games that were specifically tuned for its feature set could look great though. These cards had sharper VGA output than the 3dfx Voodoo which required an analog passthrough from a separate 2D graphics card (the Voodoo was a pure 3D accelerator).

I thought about getting a 3dfx Voodoo but then realized I don’t really play 3D games anyway. The PowerVR clocked in maybe four hours of total use by me, and nobody wanted the card because of its reputation.
As a Swede I'm happy to see that our Swedish weapons are in the right hands.

I believe we've sent 5000 AT-4[1]. I'm not sure this is one of them though. From a rough Google Image search this does not look an AT-4. But what do I know...

I rented a basement apartment for my last two years of college. It was totally great because I got a cheap place to rest my head but was rarely home otherwise. I think the real advice here is to not become a hobbit.
The energy consumption also translates directly into cooling requirements == noise.

So systems that make the use of drones unfeasible in a certain pre-defined area, e.g. by interfering with communication, should become a hit, too. If that's technologically possible.
It's not a realistic option for many living paycheck to paycheck. Hunting for a job in other cities is potentially expensive when in person interviews are required - most employers will not pay travel costs (let alone relocation expenses), and there's the opportunity cost of hours not worked at a current job. Many employers engage in resume discrimination where resumes with anything but local phone numbers or addresses get thrown out. Even if you do land a gig elsewhere, the costs of locating a new place to live, of moving, of potentially breaking a lease...are all above what many in the working class can reasonably afford. And all of the above becomes more complicated if partners and/or children are involved.

Also, people don't exist in a vaccuum. Many are grounded in certain places because of familial obligations. Others - particularly recent immigrants in places like NYC - are tied to a local ethnic or expatriate community that they rely on for social and emotional support.
I wonder why building circuits doesn't use a language comparable to the nand2tetris course.

For those who haven't seen it: It gives building blocks like NAND, wires, and an abstraction method, allowing to treat a group of wires and building blocks as a new building block. So you wire up a few gates to, say, an adder, then you can use adders in your circuit.

Things like circuit synthesis and timing analysis get trivial. I have the impression digital designers already tend to think in this way.

I don't have much experience,so read the next as a question instead of a suggestion: what's wrong with using this as a basis for a new design language?
> FOSS is supposed to be […]

FOSS is “supposed” to be about individual liberty of the lone user to make any changes needed for themselves, and the right of that user to publish those changes as they see fit. Nothing more.

Otherwise, I agree with you. If you want to stave off corporations doing this, you should use the AGPLv3 license.
for a 10kg foldable bike it is certainly affordable. Most of them (if not all) are more expensive

An Introduction to Generics in Go
I like the idea of unifying configuration like that. Qubes does have templates but there are per-vm changes I want to make on top of them which adds a little more configuration work. NBD but not that smooth. Nix seems like a good fit for this problem, it's crossed my mind before. One could install everything on the "template" level safely (in theory?) and only run them in the VMs. I've never used Nix and I'd like to give it a try at some point.

HOWEVER, I like that Qubes has Debian. I'm used to it, it's predictable, etc etc. Some of my work basically even depends on it. With Spectrum I'd have to be stuck with the quirks of Nix, which I understand are less friendly than Debian. If I have the option of falling back to the equivalent of a Debian template, I'd likely switch.
In terms of the amount of light going into your eyes, my intuition says that you’re getting more nits from a white sheet of paper than from a dark screen with white text (in direct sunlight)

But staring into that light for a long time will tire your eyes no matter if it’s reflected or projected.
> if a process makes your VM unresponsive, it's just about always contained to that VM.

I still wonder why kernels can't just handle this properly.

I've seen it in both Windows and Linux systems, something takes all the CPU or I/O or RAM, and the UI is so starved that you can't kill it.

Shouldn't that already be handled by things like virtual memory, and the kernel scheduler? Why do modern OSes, that have to protect against such complicated attacks like Spectre, struggle to do what the very first multi-tasking kernels promised before I was born?

I would like to echo this. I found HN during my first internship, I was pre-med, but got a job imaging laptops.

They had a fully manual setup, so I built a PXE server and automated it. Using the extra time, I browsed HN and taught myself Python (off of someone here's recommendation).

I went back to schoool in the fall and ace intro to programming, fail Organic Chemistry, and the rest was history.

I'm 25 now, starting my own company coming off of a few years in the industry and I have no idea how I would've done it without this community. You all were the anonymous angels and devils on my metaphorical shoulders.

Well yeah, the math works out if you can trade in an NLAW or dozen into an inoperational T-72, but I'm not entirely sure 7 minutes 20 seconds is enough time to turn untrained people into effective anti-tank infantry, and not just blow up themselves, their house, or even friendly troops.
I have rented a basement for 10 years.

This is the problem. Unless you have absolutely no other options, don't rent one place for a decade. Try to move onwards. Rent a basement at the start, but as you progress in your career rent an apartment with a view, a whole house, maybe buy somewhere of your own eventually.

Don't settle until you're where you want to be. Accepting something that you're not happy with is what leaves scars. This applies to much more than just the place you call home.

Yes, I've been doing it since around 2003-2004. I've never been on any core team or council and tend to go off and come back, but usually stick to a project for a few years (except random drive-by PRs when I found a bug and feel able to solve it without weeks of research).

Why? First of all I like software with less bugs, so that's what I tend to do, all my greenfield development usually happens in my own toy projects. One of the reasons is that I don't have to think about long-term quality and getting it exactly right, like at $dayjob (mostly for architectural decisions, obviously I try to fix the bugs properly...).

A smaller part is also just giving back. I've profited immensely from open source stuff over the last 24ish years, including most of my income in the first years.

That said, I also take extensive breaks. If I don't feel like coding outside of work for a few months, I won't - that's also one of the reasons I am not interested in leading a bigger project, although just doing some releases or merges and bugfixes once in a while is perfectly fine.

I don't think anyone must feel pressured to contribute to the greater open source system, but I absolutely ask any 'bystanders' that they're not entitled to anything, including prompt replies or bugfixes - but if I see that a prolific open source contributor has a problem I might be expediting that issue. (Yes, I might be doing the meritocracy thing wrong :P)

Regarding "at the workplace" - sadly it diverges greatly from employer to employer. I had jobs where there was no question whether I get a day to investigate a bug and properly repro and report it upstream (or do a fix), and others where it was more like "no you can't do that" (and then sometimes I fixed it at night on my own time, but rarely) and many in between. But in my experience it's usually in the company's best interest if the developers understand the things they depend on and have familiarity with the code base, so upstreaming stuff should be a nobrainer... so it has mostly worked out for me.
The video here is the interesting thing, more than the weapon.

Would it be theoretically possible to learn war from the internet, the same way you can learn programming? Watch some Youtube videos? Practice with your mates?

My intuition is that no, soldiering involves a lot of learning-by-doing, you need hours of practice stripping and reassembling your Kalashnikov, and amateurs will quickly get killed by professionals.
Friendly reminder that if you install virtualbox with guest services at work, Oracle lawyers will eventually demand a huge sum from your company.
Especially because it uses an off the shelf Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. Can this indicate that the expensive radiation hardened CPUs aren't necessary on Mars?
Well it’s definitely not the advertised use case. The promo videos are mostly made with studio rooms in mind. I’ve yet to see a laptop advertisement where someone is working outside in sunlight.
Interesting. What university did you attend? Which university would you recommend for a person living in USA that I suppose would be the “most” English-oriented?
This isn’t a “knee jerk reaction” for Honduras. It’s literally their entire modern history: foreign “investors” showing up and taking their land.

So you think it was inappropriate to celebrate winning battles against hitler? When there are hundreds of thousands of murderers (“soldiers”) coming to your country, sometimes to genocide your people, is there never a point when a little morale boost becomes okay? In the Ukraine, they are deliberately targeting civilians and laying minefields - you can’t cheer a little bit when you manage, as the underdog, to hit back?

They are impossible to decipher because their demands are changing[0].

Their extortion of Nvidia:

"Remove a feature known as LHR, short for "Lite Hash Rate," or see the further leaking of stolen data."

"We decided to help mining and gaming community," Lapsus$ members wrote in broken English. "We want nvidia to push an update for all 30 series firmware that remove every lhr limitations otherwise we will leak hw folder. If they remove the lhr we will forget about hw folder (it's a big folder). We both know lhr impact mining and gaming."

"Lapsus$ modified its demand. Now, the group also wants Nvidia to commit to making its GPU drivers completely open source. If Nvidia does not comply, Lapsus$ says, the company can expect to see a new leak that would include the complete silicon, graphics, and computer chipset files for all its recent GPUs."

The fundamental problem is that people have become conditioned to think of themselves as a member of a group first and an individual second. In many cases, the individual identity is completely obscured by the group identity. It doesn't matter if one is black, white, gay, straight, etc. It matters who they are as an individual, how they live their lives, care for their families, and so on. If one doesn't like a joke, a tv show, a book, a statue, or so on, ignore it and find something you do like. A Robert E Lee statue, for example, is not racist. It does not glorify slavery. It's history. The media and politicians stir up controversy and conflict for their own purposes, both in the States and elsewhere. Informed, confident individuals do not allow themselves to be played. The younger one is, the more accustomed they are to accepting group think whether it's about racial identity, sexual identity, and so forth. Older guys, such as myself, who grew up in a very blue collar world, and went on to college, and worked with people from all over the world, know that so much of what the media reports is simply false. Talk to and get to know people from other parts of the world and all of this "cancel culture" and group identity BS looks stupid and petty.
