I've been using Linux as my main OS for almost 15 years.

Even on very cheap HP laptops, following this rule has worked for me flawlessly so far. Between telling people "you should spend more money on X just to be sure" and "Y is cheaper and it is very likely that it will work", I'd 100% recommend them trying the cheaper option first. Even if it turns out to not work, they can always return it and go to the more expensive alternative later.

You've just described any public administration: not rich (working on it thought) but corrupted to the bone.

Many people treat owning an EV as some kind of traveling death sentence. I've had plenty of people ask me "but what about range?", as if only having ~100mi distance (~200mi total on my standard battery AWD Mach E) is somehow limiting my travel. A big part of the answer is there are other forms of transportation available to me on the kinds of travel I'd do. Sure, driving 1,000mi would be a bit more of a PITA at the moment in some respects with the Mach E than an ICE, but on the other hand there's still a lot of other options for the travel. I can still easily go >120 miles from home without using public charging even if my only car is an EV.

I took your statement quite literally. Your comment literally states that because they have a Bolt and haven't used a public charger, they "haven't been more than about 120 miles away from home in 2 years". Sure, adding an additional "in their Bolt" to the end of that then means quite a bit more, but taken very literally this statement is stating they haven't gone more than 120 miles from their home. You don't appear to be someone making that argument with the additional context, but there are people who would assume that having an EV means they literally haven't travelled >120 miles from home. I know this because I've talked with people who have thought that of my EV.
Historically, the transfer was far from one way. Many things that people stereotype as "typical" of African-American culture today were borrowed from poor Southern whites. It was only comparatively recently that African-American culture was self-defined as somehow setting itself apart from that exchange.
I may be missing something here, English _is_ my first language after all, but regarding the screenshot of the "ad" on page 3 of the complaint; they suggest Krebs refers to "the employee" as an employee in one sentence and a "former employee" in the next. The complaint reads to me like the person who put it together doesn't understand the English language, or, reading or writing at all, for that matter.

"In March, a Ubiquiti employee warned that the company had drastically understated the scope ... claim was a fabrication. On Wednesday, a former Ubiquiti employee was arrested..."

I'm pretty sure this is junior school level writing, but full stop means end of sentence, and then you start another. There is nothing in the screenshot's text which suggest the former is referring to the same person as the latter; in fact, I read it as expressly making a potential distinction.

"6. Krebs altered his description of Sharp, first he described Sharp as a current employee. He then described Sharp as a..."

Who wrote this beautiful pair of sentences in the complaint, immediately after? Two sentences which clearly should have been one.

If this is the basis of their complaint, I worry for Ubiquiti as a company.
There's also such a thing as offline transactions, for when the internet is down. As I understand it, most POS terminals do support that.

Power outages are indeed an issue, especially when the business is in a small town or rural community with a flakier power grid.

Where I work, when the power is out, we rely on cash or writing down the customer's name and amount they owe, and add that to their account when the power's back.
Thanks for the reply, totally get that the manager averted a self fulfilling prophecy of losing a valued employee.

Did you end up succeeding at the job because of the trust offered by your manager?
This seems like a good use-case for the Google Spanner database.
I guess AMP was the closest we'll get to an always-on reader mode. Not sure how popular it is but at my workplace there's plans to deprecate our AMP support. I'd really like a desktop browser to take advantage of it.
Didn't know of Android App Bundles yet, thanks for that pointer!
Until somebody copies what SpaceX is doing. SpaceX might be first to succeed with this but they are inspiring lots of others to try as well. That's already happening, there are lots of space startups and some are getting some rockets to orbit even. Any patents SpaceX might have (and I think Elon Musk is actually not big into that) would eventually expire and might be licensed in between. I don't think that's a blocker for competition.

If e.g. Boeing wants in on the action, they need to start moving. The main problem with that has more to do with Boeing's inertia than with SpaceX trying to stop them from doing anything. SpaceX has actually been pretty vocal and open about their plans. And by Boeing/NASA standards they are not even spending that much on this. The only thing stopping Boeing from competing here is Boeing being Boeing. Other companies are less encumbered by their own ineptness and will no doubt start figuring things out for themselves.
I love that you are using plain JS for this. I was the kid who unscrewed the Rubik's cube and screwed it back together because I am too dumb solve that.

This is why people are complaining about whiteboard interview, it's the same thing. Even if I have computer engineering background, I'm not going to remember my Campus Network Design class, because in daily basis, we don't have to remember that, but we know the knowledge exists, we just loop it up when needed.
You do realize that the entire "ubiquiti sucks" mood on HN started with the publications of these (factually inaccurate) articles from Krebs?

This whole thing pisses me off. A insider threatened a company with reputational damage and used a press guy to pull it up. HN picked it up and amplified it. Press guy never corrected the story, and the here we are - with people still railing on HN for a untrue story that the press guy enable that the extortionist planted.
I did about 15 questions waiting for the game to "end", not realizing it would go on forever.

IMO if the game is infinite, count how many questions I get correct in a row, and have the game end when I get one wrong. Keep track of my high score and display it somewhere on the page, so I have a baseline target to beat. That way the game is replayable and now has a metric for how well someone plays it.

I got all questions right except for the ones involving the moon... for some reason I got all those wrong. Moon is big!
Go does not put class pointers on stack variables. Neither does Rust or C. The objects are the objects on the stack. No additional metadata is needed.

The only time Go has anything like a class pointer for any object on the stack is in the case of something cast to an interface, because interface objects carry metadata around with them.

These days, Go doesn’t even stack allocate all non-escaping local variables… sometimes they will exist only within registers! Even better than the stack.
Considering he considers his work "independent investigative journalism", I'd say that it is.
Chilling effect, meet Streisand effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

Thanks to Ubiquiti's efforts, now the story is known to a larger audience.
As long as there's also a non-color differentiator (like a checkmark / X) I think it's fine. Just like traffic lights having different positions. The word itself is possibly enough, although on the other hand words take longer to process than shapes/colors so best to offer a shape if also offering a color.
It turns out the way to get good at writing is to write, a lot. Scott fits the bill.
I wonder how Snapchat could be any popular or hyped. The only time I encounter it are Tinder profiles trying to sell me over Snapchat their time-expiring photos for EUR 30 per item.
> I'd have extremely low confidence in it until a production length video of each aspect of a beekeepers job is produced and walked through with the Beewise.

I know a bit about bee-keeping (did it with my father for ~15 years). I'd agree with you, but perhaps they don't feel ready to openly share too much, for fear of competition. Not a great idea, but this might be the reason why you don't see much in their material.
Yup, most of the data is junk, and even if the data isn’t junk - it usually doesn’t at all mean what you think it means.
Actually the claims Ubiqiti are making relate to the news article Krebs wrote After everyone knew that Krebs used the criminal as his source. For some reason, Krebs chose not to disclose this in his follow up article. That’s the defamation. Krebs knowingly posted false information not in the original article, but in the follow up.
> What's the problem with moderation?

The OP mentioned a bunch of problems spawning from the platform's lack of moderation, among which there's spam and scams.
> These days, Go doesn’t even stack allocate all non-escaping local variables… sometimes they will exist only within registers!

Did you read the article I linked? That's what it says - and this isn't stack allocation, it's SRA. Even 'registers' is overly constrained - they're dataflow edges.
Also known as transparency. And complemented by accountability.
The story already went forward.

It means that a correction should have been issued.
Has this been translated into English? Cursory googling returns nothing.
Andreas, that request makes no sense. You didn't write all that code in Serenity either. Other people (a.k.a. third parties) helped out. I assume a lot of the algorithms are standard too so you didn't come up with those either. I don't want to disparage your effort but please give credit where credit is due. Please also don't underestimate the amount of work an OS like Ubuntu does to get everything to function together, it may not be perfect but if you plan to grow to the size of Ubuntu then you sign up for about the same amount of work. It's not particularly relevant if the code came from in house or not.

I get what you're trying to say about vertical integration but even Apple ships a ton of common open source components because it's not practical to write every single thing again from scratch. I also get that it's fun to write your own drivers, GUI controls, TCP stack, image decoders, font rasterizers and such. It's hard for me to see how this is supposed to be "cohesive" when most of the tasks here are implementing standard things that every other OS has, even more so when this is another clone of Unix with a Windows 98 style GUI on top of it. I mean just thinking about something like a web browser, probably a good 95% of that is implementing the DOM/CSS/Javascript engines. It's a great achievement but has nothing to do with SerenityOS at all and gains nothing from any kind of perceived cohesion.

It's just apparent to me this is a really weak selling point, you can do much better than defining yourself as the OS that blatantly copies features but considers it unacceptable to copy code. That's the failing of a lot of bad NIH-syndrome Linux distributions, don't fall into that trap. You need to come up with a good selling point that isn't just "we are another Unix but we hate Linux and refuse to collaborate with them". So many other people have tried that and got nowhere. It's critical for the long term success of your project to move past this.
Thing is people I was friends 10 years ago I'm not now... Fb biggest mistake was insistence connecting only with people you know. Of course I don't wanna see what timmy from English class in hs is doing now and even if I see anything I'm not respond after 10 years of silence.. then Facebook made sure your every activity was broadcasted to entire network and having two accounts is highly discouraged. So once entire 4 generations were there I couldn't even like a meme without thinking how it's gonna look to granddad. Now timeline became even more garbage ads and ads.... I truly think idea of timeline is more fundamental whether it's newsfeed, Twitter, YouTub... It's rewarding to keep scrolling and keep finding great stuff...

Defamation dosen't work like that though. The only thing that is relevant is what the author knew or should have known when they published the statement. There's no legal requirement to issue a retraction if you later know that your previous statement was false. Journalistic ethics says you should, but the law doesn't require it.

Issuing a retraction can potentially lessen the damages if the original statement leads to liability, but that's only relevant if the plaintiff first wins on the original statement being defamatory.
Software developers having been calling for FLOSS for decades at this point, and it's clear that the average person will only use FLOSS if it's mandated or clearly a better product in some way. Posing a fringe ethical dilemma alone will not get it done... the vast majority of people (including people collecting data for research) do not even care a little bit. They have a long list of other problems to solve first, and if FLOSS gets in the way of any of those they'll gladly forgo it.
The opposite could also be true. Now that I have experience working on vulnerabilities for enterprise software, I've learned there are constantly updates for mitigating software vulnerabilities that didn't exist a month or even week ago. An old java project may still use a version log4j with that major vulnerability. This may not be a big deal depending on the software, but it is a valid reason to be wary of stale code in some cases.

A good chunk of the board game industry is on Facebook (and if not there, then on Twitter), across a handful of board game promotional or design discussion groups. Facebook is nice in that if any of those people I'm friends with post in one of those groups it'll notify me and I can pop in and comment and maintain my network / see what they're up to that way, and I can share what I'm working on and see what people are interested in it.

Outside of that, it mostly seems to be another receptacle for hot takes nowadays, which doesn't really interest me (why I'm barely on Twitter). When I want to discuss current events I'll go to a subreddit and discuss it more or less anonymously, I'd rather not risk annoying or pissing off (or myself becoming pissed off at) people in my Facebook friends list.
Interesting observation and a good reminder that what isn't even noteworthy for half the US is shocking for others.

Many people are completely serious that the only way to take to take their guns is quite literally over their dead body.
I wonder why so many HN readers are interested in phenethylamine-type chemicals. Sure, there will be a small percentage who will be consumers of said chemicals who've a vested interest and no doubt there are organic chemists who will have a professional interest in said molecules even if they're never likely to work with them in person, but that still leaves many interested bystanders who've more than just a casual interest.

Even I—who is far too timid to take anything that doesn't come out of a reputable pharmaceutical company let alone ever risk manufacturing any of these chemicals—have an interest and can pretty much instantly recognize one of these molecules the moment I see its skeletal formula—even if I can't necessarily remember which specific one it is. So what is the principal interest among the mere curious—is it cultural, or the fact that society has gone to great lengths to ban them, or is it just a technical curiosity about the effect they have on humans?

There's little doubt there’s much interest among HN readers in the subject as this is the second article to appear on HN's same page-one only three stories removed from the first, the earlier one being Derek Lowe's article The Uselessness of Phenylephrine (science.org). At the time of this post that article had received 559 comments. In my comment to Lowe's article, I referred to an older HN article of similar nature posted at the end of November last year on the availability of the precursor phenylacetone—aka phenyl-2-propanone, P2P—and that story also had a large number of comments—361 in total.

Incidentally, my post to Lowe’s article was, I thought, a pretty innocuous one wherein I essentially agreed with Lowe’s comments and provided the link to the older HN P2P story that essentially backed up what Lowe was saying, nevertheless it received a number of down-votes without any explanation. It seems such stories are still quite divisive on HN.
The specification does have a hierarchical outline, and you can click on cross references too. Of course navigation can still be cumbersome, linking to chapters can also be awkward (tip: right click on outline element and copy link works in Firefox).

There are some problems of the spec though, and navigation is not the most pressing one. The spec is huge, support for less used parts is spotty in various PDF readers. It also has inaccuracies (not corrected in errata) and underspecified parts.
At one point I was using Evernote combined with a Fujitsu Scanner to scan in all my paperwork and Evernote would automatically OCR the scans and make it easy for me to search for this later. Evernote is a commercial offering.

Does this provide similar or better yet, better functionality?

If I scan my days mail in one go.. say water bills, property expenses etc in one batch.. will this then sort the water bill from the telephone bill in what is saved?

Ps. Bills contrived for illustration I receive much more of this online these days but still paperwork abounds.
Thanks. Simplest thing that works. I haven't programmed in years. I just had the idea. The last game I had released was in 1991. Seriously. I check min mass of the heavier * its multiple against max mass of the lighter times its multiple.
Ask HN: How to Listen to Questions?
I think you all have been in this situation: you are going to present your work to a large audience. You're nervous, perhaps the demo you prepared so carefully didn't play as good as you wanted. You keep going, the audience seems interested, you're happy. You finally reach the slide you're proud about.

And then a question comes.
And then another question. And another.
They seem critic.

And you just stop listening to the questions. You wait for them to finish, and then reply with some random sentences vaguely related with the topic of the question (if you are lucky).

That is: you just stopped listening.

The situation above is just an example. The same can happen in a chatroom, or on an email thread while you defend your design doc. The point is: it looks like your brain just does not want to listen to the question. You repeat it in your mind, and still you don't get the point.

How do you handle these situations? Do you recommend some specific approaches?
"____ people are just people" is one of those thought-terminating things in this situation. It is true, but the degree to which it is useful depends highly on context.

Truly powerfully wealthy people are a small group, globally. They are just people in the sense that they eat and shit and love their moms like everyone else, yes.

But in their ability to shape the world around them they have much more capacity than almost everyone else. That is the topic here, and in that sense they are not "just normal people."
I don't think I quite follow what you have in mind.

If there are two realms or protection domains or whatever we want to call them, but there is memory protection in place to prevent reading/writing of others when one is active, you can pass a pointer from one to the other and the other knows it's not belonging to itself. But the moment that receiver tries to read it, it'll segfault. Or what are you imagining happens here?

It seems to me like to solve that you have to copy data, not pointers. Now you have marshalling.

There's a second problem with trying to solve this with WASM - C and the associated ABIs don't handle evolution all that well. But part of what you need in a single address space OS is the ability for components to evolve independently, or semi-independently. In particular you need the ability to add fields to structures/objects without needing to recompile the world. Ideally, you'd even be able to modify structures in memory without even restarting the software. Higher level VMs than WASM can do this because they provide higher level semantics for memory layouts and linkage. You can evolve a JAR in much more flexible ways than you can evolve a binary C/rust module, or at least it's a lot less painful, which is why Win32 is full of reserved fields, and most attempts at long-term stable C APIs are full of OO-style APIs like GObject or COM in which structs are always opaque and everything has to be modified via slow inter-DLL calls to setters.
Nice comments, but you're way off on the annual cost. It should be $400 x Beehome (24 beehives) x month, or $4,800 per year for 24 beehives. That's ~$200 per beehive per year.
> That's useless advice. Even Webcams from laptops as older as 6 years still don't work under Linux. Anything which has an Intel webcam for example is almost guaranteed not to work, outside of perhaps a couple of popular models (like MS Surface devices, and then not precisely "out of the box").

I have 5 laptops on linux at home, all but one being from a "pro" line (ie Lenovo thinkpad, HP elitebook, Dell latitude, all have a working webcam. I'd say with the exception of fingerprint readers which I never cared to test all the functionnalities have been working from day 1.

Sweden was not a democracy when the 1809 constitution was adopted, however Sweden gradually became a democracy over decades with that same constitution. That happened by moving decision making from the King to his cabinet, which was already regulated in the 1809 constitution. Much of the 1809 constitution regulated what the king couldn't do (separation of powers). There was a also a lot of other legislative work that happened outside of the constitution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_in_Council_(Sweden)

What this shows is that you can have democracy without formally having one, and likewise you can have a dictatorship with democratic constitution like the Soviet union. Constitution is more than the paper it is written on.

Discussions about democracy today has a tendency to focus on what the liberal definition what a democracy is. For instance during the middle ages Kings were elected in Sweden

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stones_of_Mora

My criticism against what you wrote was more about what democracies do well, I didn't agree with your points on that and instead gave an alternative, democracies strength has been not to go to war against other democracies.
