Yeah or take the case recently where airlines were flying empty planes around europe to keep their airport slots or something.

You could spend years overhauling efficiency in the entire global tech industry and succeed and it would be undone by a couple cases like that. Cases like that happen all the time: we mostly consider acting on economic incentives valid unless it's specifically illegal.

Which is not to say this isn't a thing we should do eventually, or maybe even start thinking about now. I haven't done the math on this but my guess is we could balance out the carbon cost of all datacenters by shutting down a few dozen coal power plants. We are building new coal power plants.
Those are all really excellent points and part of why I thought the article might be interesting to some of the developers here on Hacker News. A colleague of mine made an interesting point recently. They mentioned that it seems like the companies are really pushing hard on the developers on their teams to build these notifications, and then for marketing to to pile them on in mass. Then the folks who tend to be the most irritated by receiving this onslaught of notifications are other developers working on similar things for their company and not super psyched about it.
> Once you have a centralized server

DNS is not centralized. You can enter whatever DNS server you want. The problem with plain text DNS is that in countries like Turkey over half million domains are blocked in DNS level. Even if you enter your custom DNS, Turkish ISPs MITM the queries and respond with are IP adrress that says that the domain is blocked. DoH prevents such attacks. For this reason once again huge thanks to Mozilla who fights against opressing regimes.
Agreed completely, and many times the contracting owner is a figurehead with zero job responsibilities who just takes down a grand salary so that the contractor employing him is eligible for more contract opportunities.
I think it contributes to why we have what we have. The other part is a system which is free to pay for dodgy products with negative impacts.

I can't imagine eliminating how I feel about what I do from the equation.
Indeed. I would just pay it again. 25% of $271 is cheaper than a credit score hit. You can simultaneously dispute with the Attorney General office.
I use a ublock origin filter list that attempts to block cookie banners.

If I could find a web-search tool that de-listed or harshly penalized sites with hostile features I would use that.

Likely related to advertising/tracking: Many common categories of activity, like cooking, gardening, camping... are very hard to search for. The results are so polluted that I can't find the good web sites, and I'm certain people who love these activities have created great sites about them.
Can you provide context to your comment? I saw a bunch of similarly weird/conspiracy theory comments on a similar better.com thread on reddit about BCG and rich guys colluding. It sounds totally nuts. Do you know where it comes from?

Why would u want to do cycle accurate emulation? Software ran on a wide variety of different software, I doubt there’s any software that relies on cycle accuracy for a Pentium pro level machine. And afaik, box86 is about running software, not modelling some specific machine exactly.
How do you like this? I did come across it when I was searching
Sully is spoken about, but not always in the best light. There is a line of though that an automated system could well have landed that aircraft. Other lines of thought blame reliance on checklists, that a quick abandonment of checklists might have been more effective. But imho the unsung hero of that incident remains the airliner, designed by human engineers, that was able to survive landing on water and remain afloat long enough for an evacuation. The design and regulatory decisions that created that ability happened long before the bird strike.
This is a skill you can teach yourself through mindfulness alone. I've never been driven around blindfolded, but I can enter a building, go through a big maze of hallways, and be able to tell you which direction north is.

I echo your sentiment.

I am not against gender inclusivity but to call out what is essentially innocent language as inherently “bad” is not a good path to go down.
This is a only because we make things out of fossil fuel. When we stop doing that burning garbage will not be a problem.

Keep in mind that the burning often replace other forms of burning to generate power/heat. Until all power/heat generation is clean this will not matter.

For any country that has a coal or gas plant this will not increase emissions but will make dealing with hazardous material easier.
Aren't things the opposite of how you describe? My understanding is that the big govt consulting firms exist to allow the govt to access competent developers who are paid market wages since the govt is constrained from paying govt employees adequately. The US digital corp is an attempt to hire good developers as govt employees who would replace some of the current developers working for the big consulting firms.

Now, whether the strategy of providing a less terrible govt work environment, and a more inspiring story, will actually be successful in outweighing the still-extant salary limits is very unclear. But this is at least an attempt to reduce the reliance on consult developers and the corresponding middle-man fees taken by the consultanting firms.
I'm not sure how much this helps, but better fire up your Debian 3 inside a virtual machine. Then you can copy files with scp and commit them to git or whatever other version control on your main host.

And those flags should be used first on the Debian 3 machine, at least those which are supported there.

In my experience, jumping straight to the new version and making it "hold its nose" only ever works if you already know what you're doing.
WAGMI... I say YAGNI lol :-)
A ridiculous thing from my time in government was that promotions were interview driven only. If you aced the interview, you got a promo. Didn't matter if you did shit beforehand.

A guy on my gov team got the promo over our by far most experienced and skilled developer as he spent his time practicing for the interview instead of working.

You seem to think that cascading events follow some sort of hierarchy subject to the whims of the military and/or that the chain of causation following an event as probable as Russia deploying tactical nuclear weapons is subject to human stratagems.

I think history has shown that nothing could be further from the truth. The outbreak of WW2 after the devastation of WW1 deserves particular study. We can zoom out and look at the gradient of events unfolding in order to know if the situation if improving (probably not) or getting worse (likely) but that's pretty much all we can do. A few key actions is all it will take for the cascade of events to turn into a runaway scenario that nobody has any control over.

Things happen and we react. There are no masterminds pushing buttons and pulling levers that have any kind of deliberate control over what happens to the system as a whole.

Well I suppose a machine could accidentally create good art, just like a human could. But it would only appear to be good art, the same way that randomly enumerating all possible HD images would at some point produce a Picasso.

But deliberately, no, it couldn’t, not yet, and human conceptual artists could make far far superior art than a machine. Because great art requires understanding the human condition and deep reasoning about the world.

I've always learned that proprioception is a standalone thing, not based on the air moving over the skin etc, but really just your own nervous system telling you the position of your joints. Which together tells you where your arm is.

Linux is a kernel—like NT or Darwin. Better comparison is with KDE and GNOME and they both have native UI toolkits as well as look&feel and design guidelines. Only major Linux-based system without native UI is Chrome OS, but that’s rather intentional.

Well, you could always go work there. You also might be able to buy equity on the secondary markets.
This is fantastic news. If Ron Gilbert hadn't been on board - but yeah, he is. (I guess Orson Scott Card won't be providing any of the duelling banter this time round, considering his...somewhat-altered credibility these days.)

Considering the huge surge in popularity for retro-style gaming recently, the grainy Quake-type FPS shooters and pixel-art games, I've been surprised there hasn't been a similar upwelling of traditional adventure games - not just the Monkey Island type (there have been a few of those, but no megahits?) but also the old text adventure games. Is anyone trying to do an Infocom-like out there, or an evolution of it, in a somewhat mainstreamy way?
The "people don't learn" phrasing is particularly amusing, since the disagreement seems to be between those who "learned" once and those who "learned" twice (leaving aside whether what was "learned" in either case was right or wrong).
Disputing a negative hit to your credit score does not mean it gets removed. You need to have excellent documentation, which the author does but not everyone is so meticulous throughout a months-long dispute.

Also, credit scores are used now for some job applications. You can’t get some jobs without a good credit score. If you refuse to sign a waiver allowing the potential employer access to your credit score, you forfeit the job. Such jobs are often in the financial sector where employers want to make sure you do not have an incentive to steal.
Not at high temperature incineration with proper filters. Quite the contrary you get rid of a lot of the bad stuff.
Well of course, for somethings it becomes a least common denominator, but even for GPU's in the past the idea was that it was possible to use something like Mesa as the baseline and then accelerate the important/critical functionality in hardware. The original DX API was also designed like this. Its only once the market became basically a duopoly that the expectations shifted.

Frankly, having a solid software reference model/fallback path likely makes peoples jobs easier because its easier to track down bugs by doing a/b testing.

Oh, and BTW, you can likely boot your linux machine without your graphics card driver, and it will still be able to run your desktop/etc and simple openGL/etc applications like glxgears. How is that, because linux can and does fallback to software emulation, using... mesa.
Eh, I can see where you're coming from but Russia wasn't a serious challenger in the 2000s—their military was a complete mess until the end of the 2000s, and even then they didn't perform that well in Georgia, that's why I peg the start date later
You need degrees (college debt) and get paid crap. Why is this popular?
The SSA has to be able to get checks out to everyone every month.

The IRS has to process tax returns and get out refunds.

The USGS has to be able to detect earthquakes.

The NWS has to be able to deliver critical weather data.

I could go on and on.
Sublime Text is really good.

I use VS Code for development but Sublime handles large files much better (large JSONs, log files, etc) and loads much faster than VSC does.
Mainly I was just concurring with the parent and throwing out that it seems absurd to complain about danger when you're moving out given the kinds of things that neighborhood had been known for. The bit at the end was mostly a quip to punctuate the linked story, so sorry everyone took that as some grand thesis on the relative safety between rural and urban environments, or some dig at progressive cities or something. I don't know what sensibilities I stepped on.

But if their most previous name was .eth, it almost certainly is a reference to crypto.

Look at BBEdit. It’s been a standard on Mac for over 20 years.

It’s free by default with lots of great extra features that can be unlocked with a purchase.
> If you can learn to reduce your expenses by $10k

1. This is crazy to me. I could maybe cut $3K by taking a huge hit to quality of life (that would probably not be sustainable with a full time job anyways). Getting the other $7K would involve either homelessness or cutting back on eating and visiting family. How do salary earners manage to rack up $10K per year of purely unnecessary expenses?

2. That number is still way too small to be a better strategy than income maximization in tech. Of course "and" is always better, but given the choice between an extra >$100K/yr in savings or $10K less in life expenses the choice is pretty obvious.
Two things to keep in mind: the federal government offers a very good pension, which most private employers do not. Also, if you have student loans and work for qualifying employers (govt and/or nonprofit IIRC), you can have some of your loans discharged after a period of time. But both of these perks require you to work for 10 or 20 years, in one branch or another.

He spends a good chunk talking about figuring out how to get prep work without negatively impacting his life, but it's interesting that there was no mention of how the actual new job would impact his life. Especially since he literally just picked the highest paying ones.
Yeah I know that's why I quoted larger numbers for safety, some atom laptops were 15W max I believe, I remember thinkpad X using around 25W on average. Some beefy laptops might go above 150W, some use external gpus. But on average 100W seems the ballpark.

And smartphones are even lower.. the energy requirement of advanced computing are ridiculously low.

Apple did help a lot here:

The west just played some superficial games. But in the end the west is not serious, and they won't seriously protect Ukraine. Ukraine would not join NATO, it was not real, the west does not have to balls. It was just a pretext for Putin to invade it.
> Bizarre dude and story.

My thoughts exactly. Just seems...very odd.
I feel that, but remain indecisive if the best way to enjoy tech. Is it to just find the closest approximation of a fit in a job at a reasonable wage, or to crank compensation to generate better options? As I get older, the latter seems more sustainable.
You should probably read patio11's article on fighting credit agencies instead.

I should clarify I didn't mean every 0x guarantees it's a crypto reference. However, if their previous name had .eth at the end, and especially if there's a 'NFT' in their new username somewhere, it's almost certainly a reference to crypto.
> Is Bazel designed in a way that make it impossible to do JS monorepos well?

Not impossible, but you really need to go all in with it and follow its conventions and practices. See this for the main docs: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs

One thing in particular that doesn't work well in the bazel world is doing your own stuff outside its BUILD.bazel files. If you're used to just npm install and jam some code in your package.json scripts... that doesn't usually work in the bazel world. If you have a lot of logic or tools in your build you'll likely need to go all in and make bazel starlark rules or macros that recreate that logic. Nothing is impossible, but expect to spend time getting up to speed and getting things working the bazel way.
This is what you want. It’s fantastic.
Affirm does allow people to open a chargeback dispute, but personally I was always taught to go through your credit card/bank.

Also, after reading this account I would be very hesitant to go through Affirm for anything. Chase seems responsive on the other hand.
CashApp made most of their money through Bitcoin and the exchange fees (something like 70% in 2021?).
Additionally, they charge extra for instant transfers in and out of CashApp. I believe its 1.5%.

Lastly, they also make money by keeping the Cash in the CashApp/Square network. Since it is all within Block, they will not have to pay interchange fees when a customer pays with CashApp to a Square merchant.
Besides working there? Yes.

If you're a qualified investor you could theoretically buy on the secondary markets, but not in practice. I've read that Stripe (like many startups) has reserved right of first refusal as part of their option grants - that is, they can veto sales of their shares. It's probably going to be very difficult or impossible to buy them.

Vercel (with or without Next) is my stack of choice for projects like this.

You can get a site running in Vercel+Next in <2m from ‘git init’.

I use it for https://potato.horse and most PoCs now, but we’ve scaled Vercel+Next to hundreds of thousands of users per day in other projects.

You could also use Netlify with Netlify functions, although I prefer the (slightly) less opinionated way of handing releases and per-commit vanity URLs Vercel offers.

Aaand if you want to get more funky with your approach, check out Astrojs (island architecture: start with static content and sprinkle the interactions on top of it).

You could also try, Elixir + Phoenix + Live View if you want to learn a new tech stack, feed your brain, and… spend a few days yak shaving. Nope, none of the 5 new versions of your blog will be live by the time you’re done, but you’ll become good friends with Erlang and co. Speaking from the experience, I use next when I want my stack to be boring.
That’s 30m of not helping with a one-year-old. That time is _precious_.
How about because an individual puts themself out there to try and build a relationship around shared values, activities, joys? If it's not reciprocated they try something else, or eventually move on.

I think you're using "small talk" pejoratively, but all big and deep things start off small. Example: I met my wife of 20+ years eating lunch at a picnic table over casual conversation, so I'm all-in on small talk.
London (ON) is definitely on that list.

One of our chief problems is that there’s no interlock between development - whether dense or not - and public transit and other public infrastructure. London is still bisected by surface level train tracks with minimal above or below grade crossings; and in the seven years I’ve lived here nothing has changed.
A huge factor here that no one has pointed out yet: spam bots heavily target people with `.eth` in their handle.

Yeah man those were the good/bad days. I had a friend who was a Japanese strategic game fan and he constantly bombarded us with tricks he used to modify the game or the ram to get better attributes for characters. He is also the one who lent me a CD containing a pirated copy of Duke3d which bootstrapped my modern gameplay life.

When I was 14, a family friend from church decided he needed help around his sizable property. He figured the easiest approach would be to teach me to operate his machinery and come over on weekends to work with him. He got brush cleared and I learned to operate, among other things, a farm tractor from the 1950s. I learned the combination of finesse, force, swearing, and prayer needed to shift such a beast. When I started driving my first car, an old Buick Century with an automatic, it almost felt like cheating.
> imposing rules on others, the majority of their rules have unintended consequences, can be taken advantage of, are usually designed by committees

It's a valid critique, so here goes: how would you implement it to avoid those?
