How can someone take you seriously after you speak of "genocide" in Ukraine? You are being dishonest as your country is.
Hyperinflation is one-way volatility. In either case the value changes rapidly making the "currency" in question useless as a long-term store of value.
so it’s not just me! twice replaced a bulging battery so bad it caused the trackpad button to stop working.
Plus ample walking space in the winter months, relatively safe even during peak covid, 80s and 90s design, often have a movie theater nearby. Not sure what else one would want in a work environment.
Developers usually desire a fast platform. While it is true most OS hosts can virtualize Linux, there are at least three important caveats when considering macOS. The first is that the file system performance is poor and chews up CPU when using file sharing [1]. The second is that if you are targeting x86_64 containers, you'll want to avoid full-virtualization and/or the Rosetta x86 to ARM translation later. Finally, the third is that if you work in machine learning, chances are you use NVIDA on the server, so you may want to do simple smoke testing of your containers locally, but Apple no longer ships computers with NVIDIA graphics cards.

Now some of that is alleviated if you are building non-machine learning ARM images, but you may run the risk of not having ARM versions of third-party containers you need.

I personally regret not thinking ahead about this and buying a MacBook Pro a few years ago. Either with Linux directly, or with Windows WSL2, I don't think developers need to buy a macOS machine unless they need to build iOS or macOS apps. And even then, you can rent time on GitHub-hosted Actions macOS runners instead.

Thanks! Will add this to my list :)
My 2020 Crosstrek default settings beeps at me to check the back seat every time I turn it off; I turn it off since I don't have kids of course.
It's for people that hate cascading part of CSS, people that never really took time to learn CSS, and people that got burned by an unmaintainable 5k+ line CSS file so hard that they want to jump to another extreme.
I found my favorite probiotic via offhand HN comment buried deep in a subthread.
What do the new cars offer exactly? I always understood it as to shield a child from the power of the airbags that are present in the front seat. Is there some mechanism that's changed for that seating with respect to air bag deployment?
It's forbidden on the Hacker News. Many things go unsaid due to fear of down votes.
I guess that if someone can’t articulate why they do or don’t want something, someone who is passionate about that thing sees their chance to help someone see the light. I then guess that the solution to giving requirements like “not a mac” is to also articulate why at a level that the audience will respect.

OP has already made the mistake of asking for something very broad in the title, then asking for something very specific in the body. If the title read “Linux laptop” I doubt they would have as many people in the comments suggesting anything else.

If you call Dell, they can make you a top of the line XPS or Precision that comes with linux from the factory.

I stick to the thin-n-light XPS 13/15/17 or the Precision 5570 or 5770. Rock solid build quality.

Note: if you call Dell they’ll give you a couple hundred bucks off the price on the website, and can do custom builds
I agree that there probably should exist a feedback loop for the community to know if their advice helped or harmed.
Even guys on roids are pretty attractive in my experience. I have a few friends who get random attention from women (up to and including in prompted touching) and all of them take steroids.
Yeah, obviously doesn't fit if you have two services running without any new services being written. But as a freelancer/consultant/cross-team employee in bigger organizations, new projects/services do get created probably more frequent than "once-per-year" but less frequent than "once-per-month". Everyone's experience is different I presume.
A bottle of wine should be enough to make anybody lethargic!
> Maybe there needs to be an office space + cubicle + coffee shop rental thing

This is essentially what co-working spaces like WeWork are. But they are quite expensive which is probably why a lot of people continue to use coffee shops (environment and location of coffee shop may also be preferable)
"Stated vs. revealed preferences," is the area the describes most of this.

I didn't realize the preference for muscularity was not a common assumption, but then again I also remember being a guy in my 20s and even 30s and behaving as though being fit wasn't important and indexed on status signals instead.

I accumulated a lot of status symbols but once you have them, it becomes hard to appreciate someone who is impressed by them, which becomes less plumage and more some kind of a psychotic trap, where I've seen some (young'ish) guys essentially act like, "You really like me? Hah! You fool! This is just plumage! You can't like me for who I really am, because I am unlikable - you idiot." As people, we are made in a truly infinite variety of insane, and being fit isn't a cure for these issues, but not getting fit because you think external status symbols (money, education, career, attention, taste) are attractive can be a bitter road.

If you wanted to go from zero to changing your life significantly in 6 months without a lot of thinking about it, a 5x5 workout using an app, an intermittent fasting diet, and a 1hr walk in a park on off days - in just water weight and newb gains alone will give you a new perspective. The best workout is the one you do. Your excuses are your story. Challenge them or they'll become the best you ever do.
> You make a law that everyone must be served by the banks. Easy.

Here is the "just pass a law" line. I've summarized a line that makes this exact point. I see no straw-men here. Can you point out where I make a straw-man? Genuinely interested in why you see this as creating a straw-man in my summary. I fail to see how else you can interpret other than 'just pass a law'.
off by an order of magnitude. 20 million by $99 is 2 billion, which is >4% of the net income.

In the update[1] he says it's calming and makes him feel safe. He's happier after doing it.

It doesn't sound so bad. I mean, it's gotta be healthier than so called idle games, and about as useful. Or similar to lifting weights or jogging or something. It makes him feel good, that's all the justification any non-harmful activity should need.

Teslas also have "cabin overheat protection" which limits the cabin to a survivable temperature when parked (unless the battery is quite low). Still not something you want to subject a child to, but it probably saves some lives. I think this is only practical with electric cars.

I'd be in favor of automatically rolling down windows if interior temperature exceeds 35C. This could work on ICE cars too. I guess it could increase thefts on hot days, but thieves seem to have no trouble breaking windows anyway.
Definetly not my experience. My view is that organizations are VERY reluctant to introduce new tech to their stack, and rightfully so in my opinion.

For example: moving a Java dev to a different Java project internally is much easier than convincing a Java dev to learn Go (especially seniors who already invested a lot of time in learning it), and is much cheaper than hiring a new Go developer (onboarding etc.)
My understanding is that the concern is that the passenger airbag can do serious damage to a child sitting in the front. You seem to be suggesting this is no longer the case. What has changed that now makes this safe?.
There is a weight sensor built into the front passenger seat.
I assume it's because modern cars have weight sensors for the airbags, but they don't always work.
Considering her attitude towards it, maybe it's a secondary gain to be putting some natural limitations on time spent with girlfriend.
I've done something similar in the corporate world. I moved into the business side of things, work from home, and mostly have meetings. I can work 3-5 hours a day and maintain my income.

What I gave up is the future earning potential of a software engineering career. As an engineer, I should be doubling my income in the next 5-10 years and I will no longer do that.
Because it threatens their power?

Hi everyone, Jack FitzGerald here from the Alexa team who created this new dataset, the corresponding code, the leaderboard, etc. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, and I'll jump in with the other comments already here. Thank you.
Scientific squabbles aside, "getting jacked" is one of the most important things a man can do to increase his attractiveness to females.

But if you decide to go down that path, don't make it unnecessarily difficult. Your number 1 priority should be sustainability. This is the mistake I see my friends make over and over. They will start highly motivated, do too much, then quit after a month or two. My top sustainability rule is "I must feel better after my workout than before my workout." This ensures I don't kill my motivation for the future days. You want to create an upward spiral of small successes.

Also, you don't need to join a gym or other special program. While they can be helpful in some circumstances, they can also create a lot of friction in your life. You want the bar to be as low as possible for working out. I started with resistance bands at home and found that amazingly sustainable. While others were struggling to get dressed and travel to the gym, I was happily lifting heavy bands 5 minutes after getting out of bed, then continuing with my day in under 30 minutes.

Start with first principles: 1) push/pull movements with sufficient resistance, and 2) eat sufficient protein, but don't eat excessive calories, and 3) get sufficient sleep (bad sleep will make progress nearly impossible)
[bonus: walking is the best 'cardio' to use when trying to gain muscle]

If you want to dive deeper into the science of optimizing your gains, I'd recommend Dr Mike Israetel, who has the least fluff and most scientific (and entertaining) content I've found: https://www.youtube.com/c/RenaissancePeriodization/playlists

I started lifting about 6 years ago after being newly single, and my own anecdata was that as I lost fat and put on significant muscle, the dating experience changed dramatically for me. Dating just seemed 5X to 10X easier. Not to mention the many other obvious life improvements that come with being fit (confidence, health, energy, performance, etc).

I've seen many friends in the last few years start and fail, but by keeping the friction low and the process enjoyable, I've made it a habit that I've kept unbroken the last 6 years.

Focus on keeping the bar low and the enjoyment high - there are no bonus points for suffering.
This is, in my opinion, a product of personal vehicle dependant society.

I am lucky enough to not dependend on a car for my everyday activity, and only using my car a couple of times a week.

I can totally understand people being in the habit of getting in and out of their vehicle without checking the rear seat.

Any child death is a tragedy, and a loss for the whole community.
> I will hold regular 1:1 meetings and create an open-door policy...

That's the only best practice he mentions: have weekly one on one meetings.
Probably several chisels, and maybe even multiple hammers. I've done my share of chiseling and I've never worn one out yet but I'm not in the habit to going through 100+ meters of rock, even so my cold chisel is probably only about 80% the size that it was when I first bought it.
I appreciate the in-depth look into your architecture in the linked posts. Have you considered open sourcing / selling that database solution by itself?

I can see how it'd speed up dev time for my team, I'd be curious to hear how something like that (reactive no-sql frontend for a SQL DB) would work for others outside of Vue.
If we write an automated test case for known acceptance criteria, and then write necessary and sufficient code to get those tests to pass, we would know what known acceptance criteria are being fulfilled. When someone else adds to the code and causes a test to fail, the test case and the specific acceptance criteria would thus help the developer understand intended behaviour (verify behaviour, review implementation). Thus, the test suite would become a catalogue of programmatically verifiable acceptance criteria.

Certainly, fuzz tests would help us test boundary conditions and more, but they are not a catalogue of known acceptance criteria.
If the cafes are so nearby wouldn’t I already be familiar with them? But if they are too far, would I really travel to them just to work remotely? That’s a commute, which is exactly what I want to avoid.
If you care most about battery life, aesthetics and keyboard, then the pinebook pro is a great choice. You can spend the $1800 you save on cloud VMs or a kick-ass desktop.

Cons:

The touchpad is acceptible, but middling. (I am a stickler for touchpads.)

The battery drains in suspend mode out of the box. Supposedly, there are fixes, but people have mixed reports of their stability.

You'll want a separate device for music streaming and zoom.

Anyway, I have one, and it is perfect for my use cases.
I do have the expectation to not be tracked at all times but tbf they got a warrant.
If I were going through that stage of parenting again, I'd do the shoe thing -- take off one of your shoes, toss it in the back seat. Hard to ignore that you're walking away from the car with only one shoe on.

On topic: No, not a crime. Not negligence unless you're taking some abnormal risk that makes it more likely to happen. It is an accident.
There could be an interpretation thing going on in the question. I have not at work sat down and formally evaluated my selection of language for a given task. Generally as soon as we so much as sketch out the problem, we know what our answer is. It's not hard to build a portfolio of about 2.5 general-purpose languages that covers pretty much every base you could need, such that you only really need super careful analysis on a very limited subset of problems.

So I could easily answer either way on that question depending on where you draw the line for "evaluation". I certainly thought about the language for every single task, and didn't just blindly pick the same language for everything, but I didn't necessarily "evaluate" it in some formal manner.
My key takeaways from this article:

1. An Indigenous community that’s made Tierra del Fuego home for thousands of years, the Yaghan, currently lives on Navarino Island, Chile, and across the Beagle Channel (Onashaga in the Yaghan language) in Ushuaia, Argentina

2. While the roughly 100 Yaghan alive today continue to assert their place in the here and now, archaeologists are in pursuit of a deeper and broader story of their ancestors who made the land and sea their home since possibly as far back as the end of the last ice age

3. Archaeologists spend weeks each summer excavating along the Beagle Channel/Onashaga, searching for evidence of the thriving communities that made Tierra del Fuego home for thousands of years

4. The two oldest dates along the Beagle Channel—and the second- and third-oldest dates for Tierra del Fuego as a whole—come from the bottom of shell middens excavated during that 1998 dig, and by Orquera and Francisco Zangrando between 2010 and 2013

5. Those two older dates are mystifying, though—where do they fit into the story? What are the archaeologists missing? Archaeologists contemplate evidence while keeping in mind that they have no idea what they have not found

6. The story that captured the imaginations of Tivoli and Francisco Zangrando was of an ancient people so well adapted to their environment that they thrived for 6,000 years, until the arrival of Europeans, relying on a simple toolkit and a stable seafood diet

7. When did people adapt to a maritime lifestyle? What lured them into the sea? The oldest sites along the Beagle Channel/Onashaga were found at Imiwaia and Tunel

8. 5,000 years ago, they’re still eating sea mammals but go big on guanacos and seabirds, and in the last 1,000 years, they’re more into fish

9. Their creation stories tell them, over and over, nothing is free on the land and sea, they have to work hard to live in balance with the sacred world around them, and their reward is not an afterlife, it’s the unquantifiable, almost infinite generations of life
I used a Dell Precision running Linux and it was a very good experience with a lot of power. It is essentially an XPS 15 but you can opt-out of the dGPU and just have Intel Xe graphics which makes life easier with Linux if you don't need a high-end GPU.

15", good keyboard and trackpad, amazing screen (get the 4k option and scale at 200% so you have a 1080p look and feel but super crisp), decent sound, powerful CPU, lots of RAM, M.2 PCIe SSD, etc. Although if you really want to get better battery opt for the 1080p screen which is still great.

Battery life with Linux on any laptop is kinda rough no matter what in my experience, it's okay but not MacBook Pro with M1 levels. Also the fans get kinda loud which you may or may not mind but is kinda par for the course with most Intel laptops as they're all a few mm too thin imho.

As for why Dell? Well personally I have always had superb experience with Dell support. Engineer on site a day or two later to fix any issues and when I needed a replacement they sorted it within a few days and let me send the old machine back a week later so I could backup and restore without a huge hassle.

I know others have had bad experience with Dell support but for me (in Europe) it has always been fine.
Sorry, I meant from a marketing perspective, saying "transactions are only supported in batch mode" rather than saying they aren't supported.
No.

American society has developed a moral panic/obsession with policing/persecuting parents (especially mothers) in certain ways. While pretty much ignoring systematic dangers to children such as lead (in paint, water, etc.), and the crushing financial penalties (from the medical bills for childbirth right through college expenses) for having them.

At what point should I tell my [great-]granddaughters that I'll pay for them to get their tubes tied at age 18, and that is (sadly) the least-bad deal available in the U.S.?

> inherent inflation that forces you to speculate in order to preserve any “real value.”

Wow, also this!

Say inflation is 8.5%, and you're holding an ounce of gold, then that gold raises by 8.5% in kind, you are still losing value as now you have to pay taxes on the 8.5% gained even though you didn't really gain anything.
> Is the money in your bank account a real store of value?

Cash encompasses physical notes, bank deposits and Treasuries. On one end, we have a form optimized for transacting. On the other, for transporting value over time [1].

Bitcoin is less efficient than Visa or Mastercard. It's more volatile than a Treasury.

In the US, the average age of a car on the road is 12 years and and 25% are older than 16 years. Maybe in a decade we can change the regulation but it seems to still have merit now
They do, just not universally. The infrastructure bill included a section requiring them, so every new car will in a few years, along with systems to detect if you're impaired or drunk and refuse to allow operation if you are.

Aren't you meant to install child seats facing backwards, if you install them in the front passenger seat? Thus the mass of the seat itself shields the child from the airbag.
Not only the unscrupulous business owners are guilty of exploiting these poor migrants but there are other accomplices like the government turning a blind eye to these practices as they get to benefit from the exploitation of cheap migrant labor but also the general public is an accomplice with their apathy and indifference to the suffering of these workers and also, and I hate to do this, by reframing the debate in nativist terms like you did here.

The solution should be to offer a decent immigration path/track for these workers that balances all the interests of concerned stakeholders, and also make sense from an economic standpoint because sometimes you can't make a business case for paying high rates for low-skilled jobs as this might weigh negatively on profitability and drive some establishments out of business.
Sorry guys I'm so stupid.

If there are no results, the backend fetches the results from Google and injects them into the database. Got tons of traffic posting it here, which messed up the backend. Just turned it off :'(

Better solution to create a queue, cron, and occasionally fetch new cities...
From the point of view of people who live with a volatile currency (aka highly inflationary) it doesn't really matter, does it?
I turned it on once for my teenage daughter in a parking lot on a warm day and she was mightily offended. Teslas now have "camp mode" which also keeps the AC on.

I think about this too. It's got a conflict ("he's doing something I don't want him to do"), it's weird enough to be eye catching but not weird enough to be unbelievable, serious enough to warrant concern but not so serious that it isn't funny to read and think about, and comes with an explicit invitation to engage. It's got relatable themes (loneliness, male hobby obsession, finding fulfillment outside the drudgery of work) and has an easy entrypoint for engagement.

I'm not saying this is fake, especially since it wouldn't really matter either way, but it's interesting to think about. I remember reading something about people who fake advice column letters. There's a real art to the best ones.
I've been following his videos since he built that underground bunker. Pretty amazing craftmanship.
Argos Translate fits with those requirements, but its translation quality is not great. I'd love to see something like DeepL (that has really good translation quality) running locally, but I think that's a pipe-dream for now.
