On the desktop, on Windows, the RTL8153 hasn't given me an issue. However, I've heard bad things. My last upgrade had an Intel I225-V, so unfortunately, I cannot report on longevity. The Intel NIC, however? Thumbs up.
I've been on an off anti-depressants for about 10 years, and every time I go off it's pretty difficult.

So for me, it's a combination of things that work, the bare minimum being a low-dose of an anti-depressant. At my worst states, this is usually enough to lift me up to take care of my other basic needs like exercising, eating right, sleep, etc.

Once I'm at this point, therapy usually changes from crisis mode, to more exploration into what I want out of life, so out of the basic needs from maslow's hierarchy and into the psychological needs. Now, I haven't come to this realization on my own, but through years of therapy (and now multiple therapists).

I'd recommend sticking with therapy, and if you don't find your current therapist or their style to be meeting your needs, try investigating other therapists or therapeutic modalities.
> anyone who wants to be a dick can be a dick and if others don’t want to deal with it they can ignore it

The problem is that in the real world you can't silo off dicks like that. Bad opinions (e.g. racial hatred) can spread through the society and cause tremendous damage.

If you're going to argue for zero content moderation, the only good faith way to do so is to first admit that this could be a problem, and secondly admit that you have no problem if Twitter became like 8chan. If you just pretend like these kinds of things aren't possible, I can only conclude you're arguing from a position of ideology.
Spoiler alert: we mostly are.

Engineers with 5 YOE are making $500k+ a year at these companies because they are generating much more than that in revenues and profits for the companies. Airbnb is worth $110B.

It's not all blinking cursors, there are thousands of little experiments going on all the time. Increasing the number of bookings by 2% here, 3% there. Increasing the average price of bookings. Random extra features here and there to close that one whale of a client. Expanding into corporate accounts. Improving performance by 5% to take a big chunk out of the tens of millions of dollars infrastructure bill.

From a 10,000 foot view looking at the product, it always looks like it's 90% done in the first couple of years and then things just coast along lazily. But from a profit point of view, that last 10% can generate hugely outsized returns. It's the power of exponential growth, all those extra late nights and tiny improvements that move the needle just a little bit all compound over time.

I went to a small show, and literally every single person there had earplugs.
The article describes how the layered approach works, including that it can be used as a lossless codec if desired. The core idea is that the residual layer only needs to encode the errors after upscaling, which even in the lossless case can be more compact.
I went back to composer for a bit recently (PHP), and I was baffled when my install command did nothing other than install exactly the packages I’d specified. When I ran update, it didn’t modify any of my files, but went to the latest version matching the restrictions I’d specified in composer.json.

Such a breath of fresh air…
I'll have to look into rules for low power FM. Could you broadcast midi music with "stenographic" data hidden in variations, and not run into anti-encryption rules? Or just plain modem-like streams at low RF power? FM might give a cleaner signal through FM-in-a-phone than through microphone pickup.
Screenshots looked great, however I stopped as soon as it asked me to sign up. I happily returned to my existing terminal that does not have any strings attached. You are seriously going to have to have a paradigm changing product to make money and build a business on such a basic system utility where there are plenty of good options. The implementation language is not a selling point.
> Doctors are good at giving garden-variety medical advice that's validated by studies

I've found they're more often than not ignorant of the latest studies, as well. Doctors are put on a pedestal in our society that very few of them deserve. A solid 2/3s of the ones I've seen are over-confident, dismissive, and often peddling out of date information. The rare ones that truly focus on their field and put their patients above their egos are difficult to find and even harder to get to with average US insurance.

After 11 hours since the post, I must say there is a very huge correlation between the “over or under salary question” and the “self-taught or college graduate” developer question. It's safe to say, on average, self-taught developers get paid less.

Ask HN: What laptop should I buy in 2022?
Hello!

I'm looking for a new laptop solely for coding purposes. I don't need any fancy features like fingerprint scanner or touchscreen. It has to be fast, reliable and serve me for a long time, repairability appreciated. I will use Linux only. I primarily do full stack web projects with Rust, TS and some low-level programming with C++.

I will consider every option below 2000$

I will be thankful for any suggestions!
“The CEO cried on a broadcast that we needed to say goodbye to some of our Airfam and called on us to support each other through this difficult time. “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers played at the end of the broadcast.”

Same. No more paging through aggregate results from different search engines.
You don’t download the modules when your function starts. You include 500mb of dependencies in your 50kb lambda function.

I still love one of the design stories of Steve Jobs in Isaacson's biography. I don't remember the exact phrasing, but essentially someone at Apple was showing Jobs the new DVD burner software the company wanted to distribute. It likely had a ton of options to it (like other dvd writer software of the time). Jobs' response was roughly "Hmm, ok. Here's what we're going to do. There's going to be a box, and you drag the files you want on the dvd into the box. Then we're going to have a button that says "Burn DVD" and when you press it, it burns the DVD"
>He himself said why it's different

That means nothing to me. He says lots of things and then does the opposite.
You don't "choose" because, as I said, it is unsafe to program your system to make choices. You brake because that's what a car does.

Your problem isn't real because the car doesn't exist in a logical world with N or M discrete things, it exists in a real world where it can be mistaken about what's happening outside it. Letting it make choices like that would have a bad outcome if it hallucinates (occupant+1) grandmas in front of it and decides to heroically sacrifice itself and you.

The free speech absolutist who called California "fascist" for its covid restrictions:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/28/elon-musk-says-he-has-covid-...

But now, mysteriously, he has his company praise China for its covid restrictions. Tesla wants everyone to know "that it always strived to fulfil its epidemic prevention responsibilities and that it believed Shanghai's COVID-19 measures helped lay the foundation for the city's future development":

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...

Rather than a "free speech absolutist", Musk is more of an attention seeking narcissist who is more than happy to hypocritically talk out of both sides of his mouth.

And none of that matters. He has a lot of money solely because PayPal investors gave it to him for no real reason, just like Peter Thiel. But nobody pretends Thiel is some kind of racist old-money villain. (Although they do call him a vampire and he is a lot of other things.)

Btw, now that he's rich because Tesla investors keep on wanting to give him a lot of money for no reason, seizing/nationalizing the company and giving it to the poor wouldn't work, because those investors don't want to give _them_ money.

I worked at Airbnb for four years in a dysfunctional department that had been significantly under resourced for the first 7 years of the company’s existence then tried to turn everything important up to eleven when senior leadership finally figured out it was a critical blocker for going public. That went about as well as you would expect— It wasn’t pretty at first but things definitely improved over time. I think we were “lucky” because we owned a business critical, measurable outcome.

When I started, I didn’t even have a manager for a few months. I actually burned out within my first 3 months there, and my Director personally helped me navigate the leave process —- I wound up taking a 3 month fully paid leave (they topped the difference between what the STD insurance they provided me paid and my full salary). When I returned I had a great manager!

I worked with a lot of contractors too, but my department converted well over half of the ones I worked with, and eventually the others churned out until they hired people full time. Mostly we started with contractors because it was easier to hire them but very difficult to get headcount (we sure did try).

Anyway it was a pretty wild ride but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Things were definitely uneven though. One thing that really made me sad was when they replaced the food team who we all loved with contractors (who we also all loved). After I left they really screwed over the Portland office too. But it wasn’t all bad and I cherish the friends I made there.
I don’t mean that my comment cost them customers, only that the upvotes on my comment measures the customers they had already lost by using pervasive telemetry.
For all the people that complain about phoning home. You are using macos or windows right? Isn't that what most apps do on those platforms? Chrome, firefox, your image viewer (macos), explorer (windows: the recent ad fiasco), docker, most electron apps, siri, cortana. Even login (windows). So now your terminal will do it too.

To make myself clear: I completely agree with you. Just pointing out the fun.

What? It absolutely does. As a dev the more senior customer support people are often the first people I think of when trying to solve complex business logic related issues in legacy code. Also, customer support are sitting between clients and dev, and the more problems they can solve without passing along the chain the more time you save. There's a tonne of value in experience in that role.

> Oh I like HEVC in theory, but its patent encumbrance/licensing has delayed it’s rollout immeasurably.

Has it?

"There's not much to report about HEVC, which remains king of the living room, particularly as it relates to High Dynamic Range (HDR) content. Although there's been lots of chatter about AV1 and other codec support in Dolby Vision, HEVC remains the only 10-bit codec supported in a Dolby Vision profile."[*]

Although HEVC is supported on iOS and Android and has universal support in smart TVs and OTT devices, it doesn't have built-in support on Chrome or Firefox. "The lack of browser support for HEVC doesn't hinder premium content distributors, which can use apps with HEVC playback on most platforms, but it keeps HEVC unusable for publishers targeting broad, browser-based playback."[*]

AV1 will have the opposite problem: Early adoption in Chrome and Firefox, but best case we're looking at 2025 until AV1 sees HEVC-like adoption in the living room, and maybe never on iOS depending on whether Apple adopts AV1 or leapfrogs it with VVC.

I never knew that the standard command pipe is an “anonymous pipe”, but now “named pipes” make more sense.
An alternate story:

In a big company belief that something is worthwhile is better than actual value because market forces, that care about actual value, cannot act on each sub-project out of thousands of projects in the same company independently; but managers, which by definition can only care about their beliefs (idealism rears its ugly head again) do very much act on teams independently. The engineering department will pay $500k+ to engineers who exist only to pervert insufficiently representative metrics just as readily as the market would stop that from happening if they weren't hiding in an autocratic structure hundreds of times larger than the limits of their own abilities to be wasteful.

Indeed, there is no reason to think that the market has a greater ability to eliminate waste within a company worth $100B than it has within a communist country (which exists as an entity in international markets) worth the same.
> It always baffles me that concerts are allowed to get so loud.

Same here, and for more than one reason. Yeah, damaging the hearing of your audience is bad. But I could almost forgive it if it made the sound better. Like, "okay yeah I just lost 2% of my hearing for this one show, but it was amazing."

But that has never been my experience. When I was younger and going to shows (with no earplugs), not only was it painfully loud, but the sound was worse because of it. The frequencies muddled together. It was like my ears were clipping the sound or something. The bass was overwhelmed by the mid and treble ranges. There was this weird "swirling" sound like you'd hear from a low bitrate MP3. It just sounded like shit. Loud shit.

I will never go to a concert again without earplugs. The one time I did forget them, I went to the bar, grabbed some cocktail napkins, twisted those up and stuffed those into my ear canals. Anything to avoid that assault on my hearing. Or what's left of it.
OK, so you define someone who disagrees with identity politics as a "bigot"? I think that says all about you that we need to know.

Your point is that people who want Twitter to be neutral are ideological, because being pro-neutrality is itself an ideology? Even taking that as a given, they could still absolutely hide behind a veil of neutrality- they support neutrality, they're the people they invented the veil for.

Or am I misunderstanding?

One depiction of cyberspace that's stuck with me is that of the datumplane in Dan Simmons' Hyperion (Chapter 5). It's only a few pages' worth of content, but it's by far the closest description conceptually to Gibson's cyberspace. Notably, the datumplane is envisioned as a highly organic realm at all scales, not restricted to cyberspace's cubes and hard edges. Both contain structures corresponding to the large-scale organization of their societies' data and programs.

Tweets aren't forced upon anyone. Twitter isn't a megaphone in a library. It's a flexible medium that allows you to follow the people who write/retweet stuff you want to read, and ignore others.

Face it: if you interfere between Sally who writes something she wants Bob to read, and Bob who wants to read what Sally wrote, that's censorship.

My biggest gripe with UEFI Linux systems is Raid-1 with mdraid. With legacy it's quite easy, set up the mirror, install grub on every partition, and you're done. With UEFI it's far more complicated, having to manually clone the EFI boot partition and then manually add it as part of the EFI chain. You have to remember to redo this whole process if you ever change a disk. Does anyone have a better way to do it?
