No, I’m sorry, I’m not going to drop that point.

I stated clearly it was a guesstimate, I explained that it could be coloured by my socio-economic class.

But it is my experience that 1 in 5 families at a minimum has an abusive guardian class person at home. (In the 80s-90s)

That official statistics are off by an order of magnitude really means nothing, when the point being made is that it was so normal as to not be reported.

Additionally you’re citing individual victimisations per 1000 people as a metric, when a family can consist of 2-10 people (averaging on about 4.4, “2.4 children” being the average in the 80’s). I’m stating households, you’re citing individuals. Individuals consist of single people, children, old people and so on. It’s not what I’m claiming.

If nothing else, female on male violence is extremely underreported to this day.

I’m not saying I’m right, But your argument is entirely unconvincing.

The last time I used Seafile, it was very slow, and it was more of a pain to get and keep running than it was worth, though I was using the free version instead of the paid version.

The problem with seafile I had was if I tried to sync down files and the sync client stopped, it would have no problem uploading the incomplete downloads as changes to the server, as well as pushing missing as deletes to the server.

I didn't lose any data over it, thank god, but I moved away from that.

The moral of the story is sync is a hard problem. And corner cases need to be tested before you rely upon any sync service for your data.

To OP and people who elaborately configure their keyboards - is it worth it? Does it improve performance by a meaningful amount?

I've been thinking about observing my typing / window interaction patterns and optimizing them, but never could find the motivation. Sometimes I catch myself pixel-hunting some control in my IDE and wondering if there is a shortcut for it, but then again, is configuring/learning the shortcut worth the trouble?

Or maybe configurability benefits kick in after a threshold? I think there is a reality where I can be at least 5% productive by just streamlining my "head-computer" link, but I'm not sure what it's going to take to get there.
I cannot state how real this is as a startup. There are instances where I have said “yeah I totally agree with you but our lawyers worded it this way.” Most of the time it’s fine and not material. Some of the time it’s the defining detail of the contract. I wish I had the wisdom to know the difference.
"Go on reddit, the refrains of "eat the rich" are quite common. People there hate the rich and the elite."

Well, an argument is lost if it starts by referring to the people who post on reddit.

But do people really hate an expert contractor who is rich but does an excellent job of repairing their house? Do they hate a prominent surgeon or medical professional? Are they against being represented by an elite law firm? People hate John Carmack because he is a rich and prominent graphics programmer?

My point is that what some perceive as a hatred of the rich and/or elite in general is not that at all. Instead, it is anger towards a subset of the elite and as I said there are other underlying reasons for that.
From the perspective of people living there its probably more about keeping trouble away from them and their families, than keeping other people in poverty.
I read Ben Rich's memoirs. But fortunately, I seen very detailed photos of stealth modifications of U-2, and nothing about it was in memoirs.
This is too fantastic. I am sure that it did happen, but the specifics here are exaggerated. For one, ejection seats are not "designed" to both eject. That is one of many options, one you do not set on passenger rides for specifically this scenario. And I am confused about the "negative .67g". Is that 0.67, whch is .33 below normal, or -0.67 which is basically like hanging upsidedown. Fighter pilots don't pull that much negative under normal circumstances, let alone with a civilian passenger. 0.67 would be scary for the uninitiated, but it isn't crazy. You can feel almost that in normal airline flying.
Probably lots of other people have suggested this, but in case not: have you considered a “meta-page” that coalesces multiple submissions into one?

> i am aware what FLoC was and tried to be.

Well, you asked (perhaps rhetorically) why Google didn't switch to using fingerprinting instead of FLoC. And the answer is that FLoC and fingerprinting suit different use cases. Fingerprinting doesn't serve the goals of FLoC, and FLoC doesn't provide the same data that fingerprinting would.

That's a fair point, but I don't think either major political party seriously wants a smaller central government. Democrats explicitly want to provide more social services, and Republicans claim to want smaller government, but what they seem to actually want (through their actions) is less regulation, but with the government itself not really much smaller.

Certainly some parties -- like libertarians -- would actually enact policies to make the central government truly smaller were they to come into power, but they are guaranteed not to with our electoral system as it is.

While in theory We The People have the right to determine all this, in practice we have little choice, it seems.

My comment, as well as the parent post, refers to training. When not in training, the placement of armament switches, as well as many other risk avoidance measures, will vary based on the type of conflict and risk. There is a good article from a Ukrainian fighter pilot you can read to see the extreme opposite of the training environment (high risk flight with enemy overhead). The most surprising thing is that he doesn't run pre-flight checks. I bet he took off with those switches armed.

> Please consider buying a programmable keyboard instead of X11 hacks, i say this as someone who put up with the problems for a decade.

I know but... I'm using a HHKB Pro JP since forever: Topre is my "end game" switch. Some modded their HHKB Pro 2 with a programmable controller but I'm not sure the mod is compatible with an HHKB Pro JP. Sadly the whole custom keyboard community is basically 99.9% cherry switches, 0.1% other switches and 0% Topre so no luck for me there.

There are physical layouts that I do appreciate but zero switch that I like (I tried everything, from Model M s to ALPS to every Cherry color under the sun) besides Topre.

> Buying a dygma raise

I cannot type on a split keyboard that has the '6' on the left part. I don't care if the travel is shorter for the left hand: I actually learned touch-typing from a secretary and she taught me to type the '6' with the right hand. Decades ago. There's no going back ; )

Conceptually it also scratches me the wrong way that left index gets to hit 4,5 and 6 while right index only gets to hit 7. It feels just wrong : )
Same keyboard. I just set caps lock to be Esc on tap and ctrl on hold.
It reminds me of a similar story I heard a while ago. As in your story, some military contractors were testing a new radar system at the factory. And conveniently, the factory was near an international airport, so they were using the civilian traffic as targets.
As these planes usually don't have threat detectors, they were completely unaware they were used as guinea pigs for this new radar.

That was until someone had the brilliant idea to test the radar on an El Al plane...

This must have scared the hell out of the Israeli pilots and it seems this created a small diplomatic incident.

A sand volleyball venue in my city has a waiver that you have to sign to play in a league there. In the contract you have to agree that you won't own or operate a volleyball related business within a 30+ mile radius for three years.

I signed since I don't plan to open a volleyball business, but I raised it with the venue owner who basically said their lawyers suggested it and that only one other person objected to it over the last three years. He was willing to strike it out.

Anyway - people/businesses with clauses like this need feedback or they won't change it. I let the sand volleyball place know that I thought it was a scummy tactic, and that pushing something like that onto the rank and file patrons of a business is not appropriate for someone who chairs the community improvement district that the business is located in.

My takeaway was also that the vast majority of people just don't read what they sign.
An employer tried to hand me a contract that would have me sign over the rights to my name, voice, and likeness "for marketing purposes". I was like hell to the no, and told the HR person I wouldn't sign the contract as written, being sure to clarify that I had no problem with my name and likeness being used for practical, internal company purposes (like printing company IDs).

They printed up a new contract with the offending clause deleted.

I didn't last long there, and I think part of the reason why is because they were pissy about the contract.

Should have seen the writing on the wall.

> The new security features have close to 100% adoption in the real world, especially since most people are using one of the massive centralised email systems, all of which implement all the new security features.

Well that's the thing, if they were self-hosting or using smaller providers, they probably wouldn't all have the new features. And I'm surprised emails from your server aren't being filtered out as spam going into Gmail inboxes.

An open protocol success story is HTTPS. Nearly everyone is forced onto fully-compliant new versions, and self-hosting is more viable than ever.

You know thats the funny thing - actually this would be pretty close on how one could do it right now. Nobody actually forces sites to show a big cookie banner, they choose to do it.
The user could have a small button on the side to open a dialog and to activate more cookies than just the necessary ones if one really wants to (I think).

It's of course not how you describe it on a technical level but from a UX standpoint.
The author of the non-fiction 'Humble Pi' wanted to incorporate some clever page numbering (such as backwards, binary, overflow errors), but was advised against it by the publisher who thought it might cause readers to think there is a publishing error. Eventually they compromised by having a warning page (which IMO kills the joke).

It's hard to tell. The article seems to indicate some of it is for show, aka the online edgelord persona is now out in society. Some of it seems like cosplaying fascists to be part of an in group.

A lot of authentic Hawaiian poke places (especially older ones) will become indignant if you ask them if they carry salmon poke. The authentic places look pretty different from what most Americans outside of Hawaii think of as poke. No rice, no toppings. Just fish pre-mixed with sauce and maybe some pickled stuff available on the side.

This seems surreal to me, given that here (Germany) that is just above the legal minimum and every decent job gives 25-30 days. If someone offered "unlimited" here, I'd expect at least 40-50 days to be acceptable.
A few years back while recertifying, I got interested in what the world record was for longest successful CPR recovery.

Longest I could find was this 4-hours incident, involving someone who'd gone into hypothermia some hours before:

I don't get what you're arguing for.

The default state should be DNT. Actually, using cookies for tracking, or any kind of fingerprinting for that matter, should be opt-in. The only reason it was opt-out is because adtech runs the web, and EU lawmakers are technically illiterate and influenced by the same tech giants they're supposed to regulate.

So there are two things here: making a browser setting opt-in, and making it actually enforceable. The DNT header was a step in the right direction that got swallowed by corporate influence.

Demonstrably not.
It’s shocking to be able to see it this way. Thank you for sharing this insight. It’s easy to see programming as something uber-sophisticated, because in most senses it is.

The reality is that we’ve been programming (we, the wider public) for a few decades of our millions of years of consciousness. Of course it doesn’t have the scientific rigour of something we’ve been doing for millennia, like construction.

With that said though, I think programming and computers in general is the closest we will ever come to ‘magic’ and wizardry. The fact that we can now effect reality with a few keystrokes is magical.
Never seen this saying, but it accurately describes the 4 ugas, or periods, in 4:3:2:1 proportion, in Indian occultism. Golden age where strong and good souls rule, they create prosperity. Silver age where good and weak ride the wave and maintain the traditions. Bronze age where bad and weak start abusing the system for personal profit. Iron age, the era of dark cults, where strong and evil rule freely. We are in a small bronze age right now.
It's more about the speed; if you have 1Tb of swap, mostly used then the situation is so serious it's basically fatal.

That's not really the zeitgeist in tech circles like here on Hacker News. Galileo syndrome and the whole disruption mindset means here we even have programmers wanting mathematicians and physicists to stop doing algebra with Greek letters and symbols.

In the end, quackery is much more likely than truly disrupting ideas.

"They're giving you 30 days' notice to show that you're still maintaining the app, and then it stays up."

Which would have been more than enough time... if the app had in fact been maintained.

And which doesn't change the fact that the developer agreement clearly states that apps must stay current and maintain compatibility.

I have some domains on migadu, one on mxroute, and one on purely mail. I have my Mai domain on google, and seriously thinking of eventually moving everything to purely mail.

I bought the mxroute lifetime membership, but the storage is kinda low (10g). Also Got bit with the migadu price mess in 2020. The purely mail model of pay for what you use makes sense to me. The developer is responsive and says it’s profitable.
Same here with the text files. They end up going forgotten about until months laters. I even tried obsidian. So for me, I am working on building a TUI application in Rust to do task management. I'll dog food my own code, helps me with learning more Rust, and since I built it, maybe I will actually use it.
I spent my last job search, getting resume screen-out rejection after rejection only to end up settling for something I didn’t really want.

My problem is that I don’t look like a generalist, I look like an incompetent. And that’s because a vast majority of my knowledge and skills have come from outside my professional career. In fact, if I’m being honest a lot of my career has involved dicking around for months on end waiting for some bureaucratic machine to make a decision only to repeat that process again and again.

So I ended with at least solid foundational knowledge in a lot of subjects/domains, but it doesn’t matter because my resume is not something describing my abilities/knowledge, but really just formal experience: meaning none of my generalist or specialist knowledge is ever highlighted. Most anything I know about anything has been from me hacking and breaking and fixing computers and their software, not anything a resume would tell you.

IP addresses match the definition in GDPR article 4 point 1: they are "an identification number, location data, an online identifier". Well the second one has to be stretched a bit, so an address matches location data, but the other two fit quite well.
Given the right teaching materials, it seems like almost anyone can learn programming. But the difficulty lies in motivation and discipline.

It’s like saying “I don’t understand why not everyone is fit, all you need is to eat less and go walk outside for free”.

I have taught a few people programming and almost everyone started picking up the basics and moving along well but some would just completely give up once no one was prodding them. This usually correlates with other things like health and general life situation. Some people just aren’t motivated to get up, go run, eat healthy, and learn a valuable skill.

When all is said and done, this is likely to be a Thoma Bravo deal, not a Musk deal — too much OPM (and too much of Musk’s Tesla equity) is at stake to let Musk go all rabid ferret on the company. I’d expect him to get some high-profile and low-impact personal wins out of this (whatever those might be, since it’s still not clear to me what he actually wants out of this), TB tears the dev organization down to the studs to get opex under control, they spin it back to the market within a few years for a tidy profit, and the company collapses shortly thereafter, with its assets sold off to Red Ventures for a fraction of a cent on the dollar to serve as a lead-generator for prepaid mobile operators.
> Wouldn't they be monitoring whatever frequency it's using?

How would they? They have a huge directional dish antenna for communicating with the probe, they can't intercept every signal on 8 GHz, they would need an omnidirectional antenna which would catch a lot of noise.
