OpenBSD for the past 10 years or so has been really good to me and my clients, and it just keeps on getting better while linux keeps on getting worse. It's kind of a nobrainer these days.

Hell if you just need to serve static HTTP it even has its own built in webserver now:

Even those 400, especially Jira is crazy popular with a lot of scrum masters and the scrum crowd in general. I could see some of those 400 stick with Jira even after this shit show if only to avoid losing all their scrum masters.

I always noticed that the Mac version of Zoom stays open in the background rather than closing after you finish a meeting. Very sus. I have to manually close out the app.
The flop of Google Glass cemented in my mind that smart phones are really hard to beat. It's a small device that's easy to carry with you, has a large and detailed display, allows custom programs, and is easy to put away. I consider it a useful thing that my phone's display and my vision aren't blended. I can focus on reality, or look at a web page. I never really need to do both.

A dedicated AR device just won't be worth it to most people. It could be a revolutionary tool for certain industries and professions, but it sounds like Meta's aiming higher.

>The wristband uses differential electromyography, or EMG, to measure electrical pulses in the arm’s neurons, essentially creating the effect of a phantom limb the wearer can use to interact with the glasses. The result is that someone can essentially think to type or control a virtual interface

This would be a game changer, though.
Huh things may have changed since I worked in warehouses. (I used to live/work in a blue collar area before going to school for software dev years ago, I did construction over the summer and other people did warehouses and deliveries, and still do.)

From my past exanecdotal experience Amazon has had the best pay but the worst working conditions, that's usually the bargin you get. Maybe their conditions got worse with additional surveillance and other warehouses catching up in wages has changed the calculus for people.
This is how I read this. The wife may have long ago brought up some argument that was "banned". In other words - bread winner conversations.

Bread winners often have this trait: I make all the money, and I can only do that by working my butt off. So you need to take care of all the other things. No questions.

This is why the dishes is such a huge deal now: Since the ACTUAL conversation is banned (by the man) the only thing the wife was able to bring up is anything that causes her to do MORE work for him. She now has to wash and put away the glass. It's a problem not because of that task, but because she got lesson-ed years ago on the bread winner crap and it's non-stop marriage poison forever after.

Every time she sees him spend a few minutes glazing at a window or "browsing hacker news" (for example lol) or just not doing anything - that's feeding the fire too - because why couldn't he help with the unseen tasks she's been given and IGNORED for.
Lots of the mutes for external mics still do it in software. The software may run on the microphone itself and not the host computer, but still. I don't trust it. Give me something that interrupts a circuit.

Many laptops (notably including MacBooks) can be damaged by even fairly thin camera covers. Which sucks, because they should very obviously be standard.
Better still: a field that registers at what date a record was supposedly marked as deleted. Because otherwise you still can't bulk recover from an error.
Hello, glad you guys like it! I've changed the pause/play mechanism of the game. Now when the tab is not focused, it will automatically pause the video. Is this good enough for you?
Many of us were excited when bitcoin came out, about both the technology, and the concept of a currency that sovereigns can't control. The problem is, blockchain / cryptocurrency failed to deliver in any practical way, and as a concept was hijacked by scammers, so the only real hype now is from people trying to bypass securities laws so they can scam you.

Find a way I can actually electronically teleport money to pay for something without a trusted authority, without volatility and fees and scams, and I'll be all over it. But most of us went up and down the hype cycle on bitcoin years ago, and are just watching it's vestigial promise be used to promote a scam, so we're negative about it.
I do, I just turn them inside out and make grilled cheese and pastrami with them.

Ask HN: What's up with the size of macOS/App Store updates?
Xcode 13.3.1 apparently fixes one bug in one commandline tool and the total download size is 12.7GB.

I understand that the packages are signed, but it should be possible to figure out what the user has on their system (eg, by hashes) and download only new (signed) objects in the package manifest. This is how ostree does it, for example (https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/).

I don't understand why consuming this much bandwidth for such small changes is seen as acceptable. Bandwidth and disk space might be cheap in the developed world but it certainly isn't everywhere else.
Good for you! Arguments measured in hours are a sure sign to GTFO.

Now every time you run a database migration, you have to adjust N tables - and in Atlassian's case, N is 200000. Is that better? It depends. There is no "best" way of doing multitenancy.
The sad truth is that with 99.8% of customers unaffected, it was probably thought to be a minor issue. If those customers didn't have Gergely's ear we probably wouldn't have heard about it.
If I were writing a workflow system in a hurry I'd use arangodb in the back end and a web server based on asyncio. I like the idea of something RDF-based but I'd need to develop the right algebra for isolating individual "records" in an RDF database so they can be updated safely.

I worked at a startup that built a system with quite a few parts including a system for annotating text to train an extraction pipeline. That last bit had a typescript/react front end, a scala web server, and kept data in an elaborate set of tables in postgres. They were in a hurry to get it working for one particular customer so it wound up pretty half-baked.

I have a lot of ideas on this so look up my profile and send me an email!
data collection yes, but there's also a need to crowdfund hardware support

this affects oss wifi router OSes, linux on laptops + chromebooks, cell phones, gadgetbridge for fitness trackers, probably many iot devices

in the chromebook linux space gallium seems to have lost momentum (the most recent device with full support is from 2018, or 2017 from a well known manufacturer). if you want to run linux on a pixelbook there are stale forks of stale repos, but like 'alsa doesn't work yet' and support doesn't get merged to the kernel

committers are always complaining 'we don't have test hardware for this device' (and also they're uncompensated)

we should as a community find a way to fund this work. can be hardware donations, paying competent volunteers, and eventually working with hardware vendors directly to answer questions / do signed firmware builds if necessary
SoCal man says computer on his Tesla froze, causing it to be stuck at 83 MPH
I had horrific and long lasting negative effects from LSD. My wife absolutely laments that she convinced me to take it the two times I did. I saw mortality and impermanence directly, I felt entirely alone, and also I got extreme motion sickness and was passing out in a mess of white fractals and intensity in my body. I developed severe flashbacks to the trip and every time I had one I became extremely suicidal. The only good thing that came from it is that it pushed me towards an actual solution for me, which is practising zazen (goalless sitting in the Soto Zen tradition of Mahayana Buddhism). Resting in this moment, as Buddha, unmoved by external conditions. If I did not learn this, my life would be over, and indeed taking a break from the practise for 6 months the old grasping mind returned and I found myself heavily desiring death again. I sit and this all goes. My life after LSD was so traumatic that I was forced to find a way. The worst part is that therapists had no idea how to even consider the cosmic horror I felt, they just said it was “weird” and tried to shift the focus to tangible things, but it was the ineffable infinity that I was scared of.

Anyway, I always say that LSD fucked up my life so much that I had to turn to _religion_ to cope!! As a former militant atheist, that’s an incredible thing to say
Spreading the word about the bill and also being open with your family, friends, and possibly even coworkers about your own psychedelic use are some of the best ways to support this initiative.

We really need a lot more people to come out of the psychedelic closet.

Also consider contacting and supporting groups like MAPS[1] and Decriminalize Nature[2].

it was at $317 on the day of the outage and now at $278.5. A ~12% drop. You're right, not much of a drop for such a large outage.
>My wife gave me a huge ration of shit the first year of our marriage for leaving a coffee mug in the sink and not putting it in the dishwasher then spent the next 10 years leaving dishes all over the house. It still pisses me off every single f-ing time I see one.

My wife in our last home the day we moved in. I threw a shirt on top of our bed. 100% it was on the bed. Some point after it managed to hit the ground. Totally wasn't me. She brings me to the shirt on the ground and says that since I didn't care I cant ever complain if she does it. You can expect that my side of the bedroom is neat and orderly and well...

So in the process of buying our current home. She explains that she needs a new start. That our previous home didnt feel like a home and so keeping things clean will be done at the new house. Do you expect there was any change?

Flipside, I never ever criticized or anything along those lines. Never said a word. I'm not perfect and I don't expect flawed me will ever get a perfect spouse. Shit will go wrong. No reason to ever get pissed off or even criticize.
Weirdly high considering they were trying to entice creators with that Creators Fund.
The most interesting thing I've seen on AD is "The simple essence of automatic differentiation" (2018) [1]. See past discussion [2], and talk [3]. I think the main idea is that by compiling to categories and pairing up a function with its derivative, the pair becomes trivially composable in forward mode, and the whole structure is easily converted to reverse mode afterwards.

That rabbit hole of esotericism was pretty cool.
Yes, I think we know this: how else do they think it's possible for Teams (or other videoconferencing app) to warn you that you're muted when you start talking whilst muted without the mic being switched on?

I'm not saying there's definitely not anything sinister happening here in the case of every videoconferencing app, but there are legitimate reasons for leaving the mic on that are about improving user experience, not spying on you.
D66 who I would argue was the true winner of the election does not consist of "exact same players".

The next election, given that we don't have the new pandemic or war in Europe, will be the last one for Rutte, I believe.
This is true, but it was a temporary suspension rather than a ban (as it was supposed to be according to Twitch's ToCs)
My team and I built some of the world's most decentralized videoconferencing software, using WebRTC. You can try it on https://yang2020.app/meeting for example ... but it's available in all of our apps, including for teachers, etc.

Since a major point of our platform (qbix.com/platform) is to avoid relying on external third parties, that meant we built a version of livestreaming that is completely peer-to-peer. Imagine a giant tree at whose root are the WebRTC participants "on stage", the ones getting their feed directly get the least lag, and then people just join different parts of the tree (and ask to rejoin if the parent node dropped out or is too slow).

Here is what we learned:

1. On some platforms, it's hard to turn off the audio listening, because you can't turn it back on later. So you have to just disconnect the audio stream going out, but it's still being captured.

2. When someone is "muted" in a chat, what this really means in P2P setups is that the peers have to "respect this setting" and simply ignore the audio/video stream that the one muted is sending.

3. Sometimes, it's very valuable from a business standpoint to grab the incoming video, and do eye recognition and face tracking (yes we support all that too, in our platform, it's available in Javascript). So a teacher can, for example, take attendance and know which students are no longer present or engaged, without actually seeing their feed. All of it is done on the client side of the student, and with their consent.

Each of 1, 2, 3 can lead to a determined "hacker" kid making it seem like they're listening when they're not, etc. But there are some cool tricks to make it really hard and expensive to pull off perfectly.

We use this, for example, to award credits to people for completing educational materials or listening to a show, as with https://ftl.fm
The secret bomb in option 1 is that you generally have to have smarter primary keys that fully embrace multitenancy and while Atlassian hires smart folks and I'm sure they at some level know this--that's a relatively hard retrofit to work into a system.
JIRA is a framework for making assembly lines out of knowledge workers. When you're a middle manager at a decent sized company, a major problem you face is that the mass of knowledge workers beneath you are opaque: you have no way of knowing whether they're working or not. Another problem you face is that they're uppity: people who went to college and got used to managing their own time now have all kinds of idiosyncratic ideas about how to manage their own time and arrange their own working lives. Since you are a middle manager you despise local differences. Since you are a manager you're pretty sure that only you and your lieutenants can be trusted with this kind of decision making power. Adopting JIRA is a powerful level to put people back in their place as work item churning machines. Constraints such as only certain people can create or assign tickets, only certain people can mark them completed, only certain states are valid transitions from other states, etc. implement a level of domination over white-collar workforces that managers would be otherwise uncomfortable asserting face to face.

Other ticketing systems do not work nearly as well for this purpose because they are designed mainly as external brains or communication platforms for workers, and they assume a level of worker autonomy in moving tasks through their lifecycle. In Trello you cannot make it so that a PM has to sign off before a card is moved to the in-progress column, or that only in-progress cards can have code reviews associated with them. JIRA eats these kinds of requirements for breakfast.

EDIT: This is not to say you can't use JIRA in a workflow-neutral way, or that everyone uses it for this reason, but I would submit that it's JIRA's differentiated advantage.
> Robert Jackson, Supreme Court justice

While that qualifier is unnecessary (we know who Robert H. Jackson is), and while being a Supreme Court Justice is certainly impressive, Jackson is even more impressive for applying his ideologies and simultaneously writing about them and publishing while serving as Attorney General.

The quote you pull is a good one, but I prefer what I think is a finger wag to all prosecutors, who actually hold the most powerful positions in our government (arguably more powerful than Judges, Senators or Presidents):

Nothing better can come out of this meeting of law enforcement officers than a rededication to the spirit of fair play and decency that should animate the federal prosecutor. Your positions are of such independence and importance that while you are being diligent, strict, and vigorous in law enforcement you can also afford to be just. Although the government technically loses its case, it has really won if justice has been done.

Often enough, a federal prosecutor is seduced by their own ambition for the sake of their record (perversely seen as more important than justice), that their case should be won at all cost, and the process seems to be to unfairly pile on charges to exaggerate the actual alleged crime and induce outrage, and economically disenfranchise the suspect or defendant (often employing civil forfeiture for this effect) so that the defendant can not afford to mount a viable defense, in order to induce a plea deal, which often leads to innocent people accruing criminal records, serving time and subsequently being less able to earn a decent living paying less taxes, and not living as long as they might.

I may have gone around the OT bend, but it seems like the way prosecutors operate in general in serving their own ambitions, against Jackson's recommendations, hurts America's bottom line by synthetically reducing the amount of taxes that can be collected and diminishes or disables that individual's ability to contribute to society. The story of Aaron Swartz comes to mind as a perfect example of this.
Gotcha. I guess you could be heavy-handed and disable foreign key checks, but who knows what other bugs that would bring into the mix.
The therapeutic effect from the trip seems to happen in first few times or after taking "heroic dose". If you have taken 5 trips over a 1-2 years, I don't think you get much material. Psychedelics seem to have hard limits of what they can reveal.

I have found that the good after effect comes even from low doses. Microdosing or just relatively low dosing that don't bring anything into surface.
Teams has a notice that it pops up if you're talking and on mute, and there's another for if you're not on mute but your mic is producing no signal (mic has it's own mute). I find those super helpful, personally.
I was under he impression that NK already had a rather sophisticated cryptocurrency capability and was already using it to evade sanctions, as well as for criminal operations. I mean, anyone who can install software can send/receive cryptocurrency, it's trivial. This seems more like a political prosecution than about any material harm the guy did.
> the main practical reason is that government assistance for daycare is very income dependent

They should stop doing that. The wealthy pay more taxes, so refund them as free childcare. If you think the wealthy are getting away with something under a universal entitlement, raise their taxes.
Example by analogy:

Inflated tire has more defined structure, and behaves more predictably.
Brings me to ask: my mouse for some reason triggers a very high pitched low volume sound that seems to be coming from my Dell monitor whenever it is moved. I can hear it and it bothers me, but it might escape many others. No sound happens when the cursor is moved on the m1 laptop in between. Only the Logitech wired mouse seems to do that. It makes me wonder why something like that would happen? Could definitely be used to detect activity and it may just be the tip of the iceberg of operational sounds detectable in side channel attacks. Has anyone here noticed that happening on their setup?
looks pretty good

depends how localized the fire extinguishers are and how the power is distributed
which is hard to see from the video

not sure what you expect, using 1-2U boxes or blades or something wont change the setup that much, it pretty much boils down to 'how many machines will die in the same time on power/fire' and how can we cool them as cheap as possible.

That's a 50 basis point hike. It might have a cooling effect on Canada's runaway housing market.

I wonder if the Bank of Canada has inside information that the US Fed will be doing the same in May.
There's a Zoom setting to Mute Attendees Upon Entry. I make that my default for every meeting.

Some people complain, but I've had way too many people join and not realize their mic is live, so the meeting is interrupted by random dude shouting at his children to stop making noise, etc.

Or even better, when the meeting tool has a "Call me at this number" tool, but does not require validation before bridging the audio. So instead the CEO's All-Hands PowerPoint presentation is interrupted by that one guy who tried to have Zoom/WebEx/GoToMeeting call his cellphone, but the call goes to his voicemail instead and the voicemail audio plays over the (recorded) conference. Fun times. I've seen it happen multiple times.
Reminded me of The Office. "It's not real until your wife is on board."
Both my psychiatrist and therapist are open to the idea. In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone who works in the clinic I go to are open to it. This is in San Francisco though, so YMMV.

And since it's not yet legal in CA, I've thought about joining a UCSF study (last I checked they had 4 ongoing). Haven't acted on it yet though.
So far it seems great, I always thought the previous iOS interface was clunky and slow.

I’d love to see a “drag down to search” gesture like Craft rather than a whole tab dedicated to search.
On-premise just means that your overworked IT person is going to spend 5% of their time keeping your service maintained, at no point gaining any more than baseline familiarity with the product.

On-premise isn’t a magic pill guaranteeing 100% uptime and 0 data loss.

While on-premise may be a good choice in many cases, it’s not like running on-premise business tools has no risk associated with that choice.

Remember that the goal of a company is to sell the most product possible (output) with the lowest cost possible (input).

Any Joe off the street starting their own business can pay Atlassian $0/month for up to a 10 users. On-prem doesn’t compete with that.
