You are free to move jobs and find a company that values you, not just what money you can make for them. Ive been RemoteOnly for 5yrs, i escaped to a company who is still corperate but pays less and gives you back more. i can easily alt-tab during meetings and i know alot of others do to. Ive got a fishing line off my back deck, i live in a rural/coastal area. i literly never ever have to make small chat. I dont goto really any company functions except christmas parties. i have great, real, honest conversations with all my collegauges, espeically about work-life balance. My previous jobs where in DoD/LawTech; DoD was the was easy, plentyiful money, with the tradeoff being a bureaucratic nightmare and the ownership of your soul.
Why are you going to useless meetings?
Net neutrality really highlights the ratchet effect that arises wherever a conflict of interest between the general public and special interests exists.

They never stop. Legislative lobbying. Massive Legal efforts. Attempts at influencing the executive/government activities.

True, lexical scoping is dominant in current programming languages and it is easier to reason about.

Alas Tcl is more complicated. It's sort of dynamic but not quite depending on how variables are accessed. For one thing a proc definition provides a separate scope from the global variable scope. If we define:

set b 5 ;# global
proc w {a} {
# upvar 1 b b
+ $a $b ;# "can't read 'b': no such variable"
}
proc x {} {
set b 2 ;# local
w 0
}
x ;# error re: no such variable 'b'

If it was truly dynamic (or more correctly indefinite) scope, we'd see '2' printed because 'b' would be readable in procedure w, but instead we get an error. However if inside the procs '::b' was used instead of 'b', then 2 is printed consistent with dynamic scope. ('::b' is 'b' in the global namespace.)

Of course the call to w in x doesn't operate under lexical scope since procedures are global and can't access variables inside another procedure's scope.

It is possible under some conditions to mimic lexical scope using the upvar command. In the case of proc w, uncommenting the upvar call would reference var b in the calling proc (or stack frame).

Wow, written out that is kinda "mind-boggling"! But in practice it's not a problem keeping it straight, at least most of the time...
PyCharm with type-hinting and "inspections" (which include pseudo-static analysis for appropriate type use) have only added to the awesomeness of great code navigation, refactoring, auto-completion, code-formatting, etc.

If you're going to have type-hints, you need pseudo-static analysis.
I think you can set it up to get pull notifications (like every 15 or 30 min), and then disable "battery optimisation" for the app (that is, set it to "no restriction").
In my experience (my wife's GrapheneOS phone) it doesn't drain that much battery anyway.
HyperCard is from the 80s. The framing of lost in the 90s still fits.
I have used K-9 Mail for years, but I'm very unhappy with the UI changes in version 5.6 and later.

It's not just they moved things around and I'm sore about that. Real usability has gone down. The app used to be very good with one hand, but the new design main menu is in the upper-left corner of the screen, which is just dumb. Visual clutter has been added to make things pretty.

I would have complained about notification, but it looks like they might be fixing some of those issues with this new patch.

Basically it seems like the new developer just wanted to pad his resume, so he picked up a project that was otherwise abandoned and started re-designing and re-implementing things so he could brag about it. The changes don't really fix any problem that anyone had, and improvements are none since the new releases are mostly about removing features and re-writing code.

I really need to start looking for a new mail app, because I have no hope in the future of K-9 Mail.

> Sometimes this is even different per department.

Indeed very true, I've had managers and CTO's who made a point on shielding the engineering teams from any rando meetings, but other departments in the same company where living an experience similar to OPs with death by video-conference.

Even had a manager who would cap meetings to max 3h per week. This really added pressure for ppl to justify townhall type meetings for passive listeners.

In the end it really depends on who your boss is.

Your state legislature may be more or less accessible to you than the federal government depending on how your state legislature is structured, the number of people in your state, and the relative concentration of people who share your special interest in your state vs. in the whole country.

I think I have to use something exactly like the license Sentry is using then. It's just one license and it should be fine I guess if it had protected them.

Also, I'm not concerned about Amazon exactly but it can be any other entity with enough resources to offer my product to their existing user base and definitely with massive marketing budget, etc.

It looks to me that the data could be explained by the participants moderating their self assessment away from extremes or perhaps towards the population mean which is arguably not an unreasonable thing to do if your knowledge of the population mean is better than your knowledge of your own performance.
This is FUD.

> Technically you can install other OSes, but the reality is that currently only crippled versions of Linux and xBSD is available and practically the only full-featured OS available for it is macOS.

That's because it's a radically new chipset, not because Apple intentionally hampered other OSes. In fact, quite the opposite: Apple went out of their way to support projects like Asahi. They could have trivially locked everything down, but instead they took extra steps to make sure the door was left wide open.

Earth Day 2022
In Germany there are lots of freemail providers. Some of them sell all the contact data to spammers:

- web.de

- gmx.de/net/com

I reproduced this with a new domain, a nowhere occuring email on an email server that does not list its accounts via imap, and a single email from those services to the new email was enough to receive spam afterwards; even when the email wasn't listed anywhere on the web.

On a couple other addresses they receive spam mostly from Ghana, Botswana, or rural Delhi, so they're easy to identify. I keep the reddit-trained reply NLP bot active to reply to spammers and keep em busy.

At some point I might go the offensive route, cause they always seem to use standard software on outdated Windows machines, with couple of aliases of Western sounding names (well, at least in their own imagination).

My opsec mandates that I split up email addresses by security level and purpose, and the emails aren't related anyhow, don't use the same name and are basically random emails that cannot be correlated. I'd also encourage everyone to use a password manager and use only random passwords everywhere to prevent account stuffing or stupid script kiddies trying to compromise your accounts.

If there's one thing the BreachCompilation has taught me it's that every humanly chosen password is based on patterns and/or easily gathered social structures that surround them on a daily basis.
> Arguments that center on what the Founding Fathers actually intended for the country fall flat for me because a) how do you know what they actually intended

I think it's further than that: regardless what they intended, it's very easy to see the opposing views of the Federalists and Anti-Federalists via their respective Papers. It's pretty clear that some of the founders wanted a strong central government, and some wanted a weaker central government with stronger states. Big surprise, politicians disagree on fundamental issues.

But it's also pretty clear that the Federalists "won", and quickly. Very early in the 1800s we see the federal government asserting itself much more strongly than the Anti-Federalists wanted.

So I think it's just flat-out wrong for someone to say something like "the founding fathers wanted a small, relatively weak central government". Sure, some of them did, but many did not, and, well... the small-central-government faction lost.
Show HN: I built an app to help with Windows container networking
I've been playing with cross platform windows/linux Kubernetes clusters recently and have had endless problems with installer scripts misconfiguring networking by using the wrong NIC etc.

I got frustrated with the tooling on windows to debug container networking so I built a tool that attempts to stitch together the HNS (Host Network Service) & HCS (Host Compute Service) resources into a tree that shows the relationship between configs. You can also search over it to find the networking impacting your containers or launch the windows built in packet capture tool to create a network trace you can open in Wireshark for analysis.

I'm not a desktop app developer so it's pretty rough around the edges and I've only really tested on Windows 11 and Server 2019.
The issue here has not much to do with the replication crisis. It has to do with the fact that most people who use bits of information to make their point more convincing don't care whether that information is true or not. They are not seeking to convince the other side of the issue, they are seeking to convince other believers.

It is literally like this:

- someone makes a point that questions your believe

- you google a phrase that would come in studies that proof otherwise

- you take the first thing that looks promising, and fly over the first page, and paraphrase a good bit in a way that makes your point

- you publish it as part of a post, youtube video or whatever

- danger averted

Bad studies play into this, but even if the studies are good, or bad studies that have been retracted the same thing happens. James Wakefield who originally published the "combined vaccines cause autism study" after patenting a non-combined measles vaccine had his study retracted by the lancet soon after publication. He lost his status as a doctor etc. And you will still find people who use his study as a source.

Of course studies whose outcome collide with our believe systems are always harder to trust than those who validate it — but this is why you look at the methods used and other indicators that might make that study bogus.
This is patently ridiculous—it's like saying since everyone can post on their own blog, why would anyone publish an OpEd in NYTimes? Obviously reach and distribution of the medium is fundamental. How would you notify 80 million people that muskannouncements.com posted a new entry?
The Federal Arbitration Act explicitly permits. There are a variety of situations where arbitration entirely makes sense: companies may not want to deal with court resolution of contract disputes for efficiency reasons (the courts are slow and expensive) or may want to have a defined venue with rules of their choice (I've been told that, for international deals, foreign firms are _very_ wary of US discovery rules, and agreeing to arbitration instead can let you avoid them and smooth signing the deal, which the parties probably care more about than potential disputes in the future). It's a very useful and reasonable option for contracts _between peers_

Unfortunately, the law treats negotiations between actual peers and large companies "negotiating" with individual customers the same way--it'd be hard to delineate distinct classes of actors that can and cannot enter into arbitration agreements (or contracts in general).

Requiring an explicit opt-in versus "by continuing to use this service with saying otherwise, you consent to this change" for certain classes of contractual changes is probably doable (IANAL this could possibly raise some issue I'm not thinking of), but in practice there's no political will to make that change. Automatic consent is legal currently and will likely remain legal in the future.
If we look at Russia for reference, this is exactly the type of technology and legal apparatus that could be used to implement censorship.

I have so many hobbies, programming is definately one of my longest but as a creative person its not my only one. If you are a career person, be that person. If you arnt, dont pretend. I never felt like a career was for me, my parents being immegrants who spent everyday of the lives working in search of enough money -- which never came!

Everyday for me is a mix of Gardening, nature, building 4wds, eletrical devices, welding, really anything i wish. Plus my job which i get payed for. I do what i want, everyday. I never get up unless i want to (i can set my own hours and no one questions it) All my shirts/ties/suites are in the bin, replaced with crocs, tank tops, and tracksuites.
> Prioritizing non-streaming-service (e.g. throttling Netflix at prime time) packets could, for example, help a regional ISP stay competitive.

No. There are lots of things companies could theoretically do to be more competitive. That doesn't mean those things are good or should be legal.

> That's different than the anti-competitive behavior the big ISPs engage in when ...

Actually I think the two are tightly coupled. There's a Hetzner article linked to elsewhere in this comment section that does a good job of articulating it. https://web.archive.org/web/20170607120440/https://wiki.hetz...

> With a cost-neutral peering, each network operator pays for the expansion of its own network itself. Likewise, every network operator shall bear the costs of its own router interfaces at the connections between the networks (peering points).

> Large content providers have a strong interest to reach the DSL customers of DPCs with the best possible performance, and therefore are looking for alternatives to congested interfaces between the carriers. These are found usually through direct connections of the major content suppliers to the respective DPCs. At this point, the DPC can use their market position, since as a result of congested interfaces no other carrier can reach the DSL customers of the respective DPCs with sufficient speed. Therefore, the DPC can set prices, free of competition, which interested content providers have to pay to achieve performant connctions to "its" DSL customers.

So effectively ISPs are incentivized to neglect peerings that they aren't currently double dipping on in order to use their customers to coerce payment. Note that (unfortunately) DTAG was eventually successful in coercing Hetzner to pay for peering with them. They did this by abusing their customers. It's textbook monopolistic behavior.

Most browser do support gzip though. Sort-of transparently on the connection level.

So instead of optimizing the size of your file directly, you could optimize the size of what's actually send over the connection.

I wonder if that would give you a slightly different png or bmp or so?
> The whole point of the earlier comments is that it is preferable to use a package manager instead of using a browser to download binaries.

But there are package managers for Windows, aren't there?

Microsoft even has its own app store, that you need to use to install applications such as Windows Terminal.

People often install software on Linux and macOS by downloading installers using a browser. In fact, that's how non-bleeding edge versions of Xcode are installed.

Genuine question, I don't actually know the details: how does the contemporary notion of avatars and usernames to distinguish identity or alter-ego interact with the notion of what a legal entity is? If I practice security hygiene across multiple identities online and only do certain things using certain representations/usernames... how would it work out in practice if I tried to argue that each representation was a distinct and separate entity of agency?

Hmm. Thinking about this I now realize that identity fraud would probably be a lot harder to pin down if things leaned in the direction I'm describing, so perhaps not.

> In my city (Europe)

As a fellow European, please don't do this. There's a bunch of very different countries on that continent, so the information provided by "Europe" is extremely limited baring rough geographic area. Plus you sound like an American who doesn't know anything about anything but claims "Europe does this so communism" and similar, you know the type. If you don't want to dox yourself, you could at least state "Northern Europe" or "Southern" or w/e and rough size ( mid-sized). ISPs in a small town in Germany doing only 5G wouldn't surprise me; in a big city in Bulgaria it would.
Whenever I see query planning in databases, I immediately think that artificial intelligence should be able to do this pretty well. Which databases out there actually use some sort of AI to create a plan and execute?
I am aware it exists. Users however often are not, and they complain when the "standard way" that's integrated into the OS doesn't work.
A common flaw to “just do x and rerun it” is that you are not running both in the same conditions: the data is in RAM second time around. I've seen people think that a change (an index hint, switching between a CTE and a sub-query, …) has made a massive difference because the last couple of times the query ran it timed out or took ages, when in fact the next run works and works faster not because of the change but because the previous run or two have primed the page cache with all the data that is needed, cutting out all the IO.

Test from both warm and cold states. Warm because most queries you are optimising are those that run often so usually do have some or all of the required data in RAM, and cold because sometimes they will run cold in production (and some queries just touch so much data, and/or cause spooling to disk of intermediate steps, so that IO will always be involved).

Ignore anyone who says always test warm because that is the most common state by far: if your query is reading far more than it really needs to when IO is involved, it will be using much more CPU than it needs to at other times and will harm concurrency potential (directly by eating CPU when other things could use it instead, or through holding more read locks than needed and holding them longer than necessary).
Oh this doesnt need a condition, let me just WHERE 1=1
