As of 3 days ago, from a thread started back in July 2021 (10 months ago), suspend in Linux still doesn't work properly: https://community.frame.work/t/high-battery-drain-during-sus...

I like the idea of Framework/what they're doing, but honestly, the lack of proper suspend is definitely an instant disqualifier, and their inability to fix it or even AFAICT properly acknowledge/address this after a year doesn't really inspire much confidence.

I get that they're a smaller company, but Framework is also much lower on my list because they're still selling their last-gen Tiger Lake 11th gen laptops, when 12th gen Alder Lake is a big improvement, and of course, that I (and I think many people) would much prefer AMD Ryzen 6000 (or heck, even 5000 series) that would give better perf/watt.
Third. NVidia drivers were the bane of my existence for a while, and became such a time suck when I wanted to be doing other things.
The US Housing Crunch’s Impact on Recruiting
I'd say that's for the better.
Along these lines I am curious about the number of innocent families affected by the harassment of overzealous adults (my son has had this happen twice) or CPS (zero, fortunately). Given the somewhat subjective nature of "innocent" it's probably not quantifiable, but I sometimes wonder what the risk actually is. Being struck by lightning is unlikely, but the potential effects are serious enough to warrant taking precautions— I wonder how similar the analogy truly is.
Well, all redistributive social security systems have a strong pyramid like scheme inherent to them. Take the German retirement funds which - AFAIK — works similarly to „social security“ in the US:

Every employee in Germany is required to pay a share of about 20% of their income (1) into the retirement „fund“ — which isn’t one really as the money is not invested to gain interest but instead is immediately payed out to the current generation of retirees. On the other hand, employees are promised to receive a future pension based on the payments by the next generation of employees (i.e. their kids). In Germany, this is called „Generationenvertrag“ („contract between generations“).

This is almost like a Ponzi/pyramid scheme where obscene „profits“ are payed out purely based on the exponentially growing number of payees until the day the growth stops and the system collapses like a house of cards.

This breakdown has been happening for decades already albeit at a glacial rate in the German public pension system as the population has been shrinking and therefore the number of payees. It is artificially kept alive as the German federal government pumps 100 billions of tax money every year into it which is 30% of the whole federal budget …

Of course, a redistributive pension system can sustain itself as long as the population age distribution looks like a literal pyramid. But that’s not the case for most Western countries.

(1) Formally, the employee pays only 10% and the other 10% are taken from the employer. But, of course, the employer could as well pay his 10% share as salary instead. So, either way, it’s the employee paying everything.
I guess it boils down to this: does calling a student by the wrong gender count as hostility or free speech? (And I guess student to teacher to)

Whether the student is trans isn’t a pertinent factor, after all the government officially recognizes the right to change sex/gender (such as on your driver’s license)
> basic respect

What if a person disagrees that requesting pronouns from a gender other than their birth sex is not basic respect? You’re worldview leaves us powerless to address these tough questions.
true - most chip tools I've used for layout do both place and route (and iterate, moving std cells apart to create routing resources) so I've always sort of thought of place&route as a single thing (though I've also interrupted it before initial routing to do scan insertion)
In the 80s my mom would give me dollar to go buy milk from the store two blocks away. Then I was taught to use a pay phone and go to the local grocer 3 blocks away. Then I walked to school a mile away. Then I learned to use the bus and I would take myself to the municipal library to read, I have no idea how far it was, but I needed a quarter. The bus driver would change me a dime and a nickel, so I used the dime to get home. We moved out of Omaha in the fall of my fifth grade year. I checked, their crime rate was 3x higher at the time than where we raised our kids. They were barely allowed to walk the six doors to school. Crazy.

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live without a bank account?
In the 60's and 70's wage earners were lured to deposit their wages in bank accounts because they were 'free' and made payments more convenient. It also reduced the chances of theft from the payroll and in general seemed like a great idea.

Fastforward 60 years: it seems to me as though it has gotten to the point that operating without a bank account is neigh-on impossible, especially for businesses. Which has - predictably - led to one rate increase after another, especially with interest rates near zero banks need other sources of income or they won't be able to make their 'quarterly earnings targets', which are apparently somehow set in stone and shall be satisfied come what may.

So, I'm wondering: is it still possible as a private individual to operate without a bank account? What about doing so as a business?

Is anybody here doing this?
Frequently though, you're dealing with a death by a thousand paper cuts. Perhaps that call comes from some common library whose implementation requires reflection.
Good point Ma’am
Have you ever been to an office outside of the FAANG / Silicon Valley Startup Bubble?

You won't see a Mac almost anywhere.

The numbers don't lie. Windows is more widely used than MacOS right now, period. And it's not even close.

Maybe that is starting to change, maybe we're in for another round of companies going "This is what they do at Google" and playing follow the leader. Maybe. But that's not the conversation we're having.

If you want to have that conversation, make those points. Not this "but it's what FAANG uses" appeal to authority nonsense.
Perhaps I was loose with my language. Most things need crypto - but they probably don't need cryptocurrency. Or really any currency at all. What's wrong with hosting a server from your house? What's wrong with torrent? These are decentralized and don't need crypto currency.
It's worth really reflecting on how much of what we believe could have originated from being convincingly astroturfed by a bot. Compared results of "I cheated on my (boyfriend|girlfriend)." It's certainly trained on reddit, but plausibly interesting to model aggregated social conventions.

College students are consumers not customers. From the article in Inside Higher Education:

>>There is a fundamental tension between applying the student as customer paradigm vs. society as customer paradigm to higher education. If students are the customer, then the retail model requires them to be right. The aphorism “The customer is always right” is the guiding principle. Some faculty members express experiencing a tacit pressure to relax standards based on serving the student as a customer. Customer-service logic suggests: A grades make happy students; happy students are good customers; good customers are repeat customers; repeat customers tell friends; referrals are good for business.

Yet students are not always right. And neither are universities. Not fully understanding who the customer is in higher education tends toward granting students academic concessions. At four-year colleges, the A grade has increased between five and six percentage points every decade for the last 30 years and is now three times more prevalent than in 1960. Today, the A is the most common grade at four-year institutions. Some students and parents believe that, if they complain enough, a faculty member will change a grade. And if the faculty does not, then they call the manager.

The retail model is not only about grades. Most retail establishments maintain return and exchange policies when customers are not satisfied. Students erroneously try to apply the same policies. I’ve had students who have argued, “I paid for this class and didn’t get anything out of it, so I shouldn’t have to pay.” Usually at semester’s end, a number of students inquire about getting refunds for classes they want to drop because they may not pass the class. Most recently, I encountered a graduate student who wanted a “store credit” for a class that she never completed to be applied to a different class in an upcoming semester<<

I highly recommend Slimbook everyone I know they tried they loved.

It's built for linux (as others that you mentioned) and they contribute to KDE and others open source projects so as you can expect if you have any issue they will reply to your queries.

That is what the mods are there for.
The private market would just require people to be more responsible about taking out loans. If people that take out loans for basket weaving often don't pay them back nobody would give out a loan for basket weaving. If someone is on their 5th major or college without completing any credit they won't get any more loans without having some backing.
And we live in a society that values victimhood highly. The victims score some kind of merit badge for their self-sacrifice sashes, I think.
Environmental impact is only an issue if the energy source is dirty (which is becoming less of an issue as cost for renewables goes down and green energy mix in the grid increases) and or if you see no value in it. I agree with the former but at the same time I think the issue is not crypto in specific but ANYTHING whose energy source is dirty. The latter is obvi subjective and at the end of the day irrelevant as, like it or not, there are plenty of people that see value in it (2 trillion total market cap in cryptos right now).
He still has time to do loan forgiveness "helicopter money" style. But even if all we got was an expansion of targeted relief programs I think it totally counts as fulfilling his talking point. The issue with student debt is that for some people there's no way out, but generally speaking college-educated people are more well-off and forgiving all debt would be a regressive stimulus that targets the wealthier side of the population. Targeted relief is a great way around that.
Aside from the obvious personal risks of mountain biking (falling, personal injury) some usually unauthorized mountain bike trails can absolutely do damage to forests and ecosystems, based on bike traffic an erosion. I haven't heard about destroying a road, but there doesn't seem to be a very good reason to pick that as the specific line for acceptability. I don't think destroying roads is generally acceptable, but we also don't know if there's an actual risk of that happening in this case.

Unfortunately our agreement with the AI platform powering the project currently prohibits us from sharing the model. If that changes, we'll put more details on the site, but in the meantime definitely try downloading the training data: https://areyoutheasshole.com/training-data

I read somewhere that some states are passing laws now specifically to protect parents from prosecution for letting 9 year olds play in parks unsupervised. I guess people see kids playing without parents now and think it's some kind of child abuse.

Five minutes after encryption was allowed, the SW bands would be saturated in commercial digital services, and would be completely unusable. Just one wide-band digital service would take up most of the SW spectrum, leaving nothing for ships, aircraft, broadcasting, amateur radio, etc.

The one thing which keeps the "multibillion dollar telecoms" out of the SW bands in that encryption is not allowed.

And how would your "citizens" even be able to listen to the new digital services if they were encrypted?

Whatever, these frequency bands are so narrow that it makes wide-band digital services utterly impractical.

Needless to say there are a group of trolls who are constantly pushing this idea on behalf of the greedy commercial players.

These are actually very common restrictions at many of the companies with the largest/busiest MySQL installations in the world, typically OLTP workloads with extreme query rates.

Avoiding FKs enables sharding, reduces write locking time, and greatly simplifies online schema changes. These are essential requirements at extreme scale. (and in response to GP's point, at least in MySQL, FK constraints strictly harm performance; although the underlying index improves performance, you can have that without the FK constraint)

As for bigints for time values: storing UTC unix timestamps in a bigint avoids some issues with unexpected timezone conversions and DST conversions, as well as (in older mysql versions) unwanted auto-update behavior for the first timestamp column in a table. This one tends to be more of a "reduce support burden on the database team" type of requirement -- the risk of datetime or timestamp issues goes up as the number of product engineers massively outnumbers the db engineers, or once you have product engineers in many different timezones, data centers in many timezones, etc.

Of course, there are major trade-offs with these decisions. And they may or may not make sense for your former company's size and situation. But in any case these restrictions are not particularly unusual for MySQL.
Strange. I would guess that it’s enabled by default. You might want to submit a new discussion on their GitHub project: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/discussions The devs are very active there.
I started as a hater and skeptic but the more curious I got about the technical details of it and the more I learned, the more it started to grow on me.
I know that's the same argument the professor was making, essentially, but forget the specific details of this case for the moment and look at it in the abstract. You -- and he -- are essentially arguing that the legal right to religious freedom carries an ancillary right to be actively insulting to others who are required to interact with you in entirely non-religious contexts. That strikes me as a hell of a reach. If you genuinely feel that your religion obligates you to be an asshole to people who you believe are violating its tenets, then maybe the onus should be on you to not choose a career that may put you in regular contact with those people.

Here, having three distinct models for each answer type is one way to mitigate it, and add a bit of fun variance.

2012? And it seems so little has changed. Several times per month I am told by websites that my supplied email isn't valid even though it can receive email. All because it is using one of the "new" top level domains ".email" and has been for 6+ years now.

The breakdown of websites this happens most on are large corporate websites or very small online shops using some no-name shopping cart software.
Oh, but it is so much more than “X did Y”. The choice of which facts to report, when, and how, has huge impact on what people come to believe.

There are a thousand ways to deceive while uttering nothing but true statements. The question to ask is not “is the headline literally true?”, but “what does the headline cause people to believe?”

And just hope students don't default right after they graduate? You realize how picky they'd have to get? 40% of undergrads drop out [0] who would probably all default alone which is completely unworkable to be profitable considering credit card default rates are between 1.5 and 7 percent [1] and look at the interest rates they charge.

It would also create a massive false negative problem where kids whom could have succeeded never got to go to college because banks would get so picky if they even were too somehow make a loan like that work.

Neat, thanks for sharing.

My main feedback is that it subjectively looks and feels very much like the SEO blogspam you get at the top of every google search these days.

It's hard to put my finger on exactly what, but it feels visually busy and almost a little too polished.
Quite a few underclass people are unbanked. We had a person from a troubled background living at our house who got to 30 without having a bank account or a primary care physician. Early on we took her to the local credit union to get an account; people like that are always getting money sent by Western Union and paying terrible fees.

(Here in the US we have numerous kinds of organization that look like a bank superficially but have different regulatory regimes: a credit union does what a bank does but is a consumer cooperative. I'd also say that many local and regional banks have a much better customer service attitude than megabanks. I own stock in a local bank that is great for the community and beats Goldman Sachs on the performance of the stock... I can't see why anybody has an account at Bank of America.)

People who grow cannabis also are unbanked.

Is this a by-product of reduced government funding? I know my state school received less funding from our state over time and that's where I thought tuition and fees had to make up the shortfall [1]. In turn universities increased frivolous spending on housing, sports and facilities that serve little education purpose but are intended to attract more tuition paying students.

I've had the 6th gen for a few years now. Overall, I like it. But these are my issues:

- Really wobbly USB-C port(s). The original power brick doesn't work reliably anymore (I have to play with the connection in order to get the laptop to charge)

- 16 GB RAM is limiting now and can't be expanded

- The keyboard... It's more of a general modern laptop issue, but whenever I pull out my old W520 with the original Thinkpad keyboard, I start dreaming of going back. Maybe I will.

On writing a novel in three months
can't speak for others. but personally I'm forced to use macbooks at my last 2 companies. Tried to make the case for getting a dell XPS with linux installed but they refused to support it. Other than that I have senior family members that have trouble figuring out how to use an iphone, between the lack of SD card slot forcing them to navigate how to pay and use iCloud, and figuring out all the dongles with the lack of headphone jack now. They would keep harassing me to help them with their issues.
Server side dev here, I use mac. I picked up using mac when I was working in a company making hf forex systems where everyone used a mac.

Why? Because Linux desktop is garbage (I daily one now too) and gets in the way. Mac you can do anything you need to do in Linux, open terminal nooo problems buddy. brew install whatever you want then switch to a nice interface with a good touchpad that you don't have to half compile yourself.

So after going it alone why did I shell out a stupid amount of money to continue using a mac when my company wasn't providing one? Because now my livelyhood depends on my laptop. I don't want things getting in the way, I don't want things breaking or having to boot into a virtual machine to get something done.

When there's $s involved it's a different caluclation. Total income = hours worked - purchase cost of laptop - hours fluffing around with my dev environment

Therefore, if my linux laptop was to die (like one of my dev's linux laptops did on Monday night) and then I was to miss a day of work, I could afford the difference between a linux craptop and a mac in lost productivity.

As for poor countries not using the best tools, I would say this is systemic. People in Colombia don't appreciate it, you see very few of the locals here using macbooks. But their time is also billed a lot lower.

A Swiss guy one told me that "the right tool is half the job", as much as the Colombians idolise the Germans and Swiss, they've still got a lot to learn.
