The fact that states control these programs like military weapons makes things really murky. Is Apple even allowed to buy a copy and close all the backdoors it uses? Or sue the Israeli government for compromising their operating systems? I doubt it.
Might be worth adding more Python stuff to your Github then. But for sure add more stuff to your skill list, to tick more boxes for the automated searches that recruiters do.

And I'm not sure what type of work you're interested in, but Madison seems to have at least somewhat of a startup scene, so I'm sure there are plenty of startups that would hire you, even if you aren't hired in as a developer/engineer, you could likely move into that role, and restart your technical career trajectory.
No problem, unfortunately some AS numbers don't map up to the expected company name either because the company was acquired by a bigger company later or just not bothering to keep the Whois information accurate. I only knew that Contabo is operating in Singapore by chance (and due to IPv4 exhaustion they used their previous German addresses for their subsidiary) and the history of MSN.
John Deere should not have the capability to remotely lock down any part of any vehicle outside of very specialized use cases. We've already seen how they've abused lack of DRM regulations. Nightmarish.

Fun fact: Yandex, Russian search engine, ecom and taxi/delivery service has a voice assistant named "Alisa", which is Russian pronounce of Alice.
Agreed, the only good trackpad is the one by that company that can simulate different materials, touch depths and types of resistance through ultrasound. The trackpad themselves are tiny and super expensive, but it's the best trackpad you can possibly buy.

Unless you mean Apple. I don't get the obsession with Apple's trackpads. My experience with them hasn't been great. They do integrate very nicely with the OS and they are pretty nice and big, but I don't really see or feel the difference between a Thinkpad or a Probook with Windows precision drivers and a Macbook.
This and the laundry list of reviews from Europe should make an interesting WWDC.
However, I am growing concern in the security risk these “anticompetitive” statements are. While I'd like idea of a more open iPhone, I also understand the technical aptitude of majority of their customers. This feels like a potential opening for more exploits where the iCloud leak could look like child’s play.
Yeah, this is true. Lots of people start using Clojure without knowing the underlying hosts (the JVM for Clojure, JavaScript for ClojureScript) which I also did, with zero experience of the JVM before I learned Clojure, and it can get very daunting very quickly the first times you come across endless JVM stack traces. Fortunately when I started to use ClojureScript, I was already deep into the JavaScript ecosystem, so those stack traces were not a problem, and by now the JVM ones no longer scare me.

Practice makes perfect, but without previous experience in the host languages, it's completely understandable that the stack traces are a huge turnoff.
CS programs that don't cover version control (as a concept) are a real head-scratcher to me.

Git didn't exist yet when I was in college, but day 1 was still going over version control as a concept and it was made clear you'd get a zero on any assignments if you didn't use it.
Perhaps you could do a similar thing with a book. Randomly open it and blindly point to a line in the book. Then do something with that line.
I have the same setup but I can appreciate that not every dev out there has or wants the same setup as me. :)
Fortunately dementia is quite the antidote to ideas.
Judging by the conversation on this story, everybody on HN is a smug non-coffee-drinker. I'd guess it's just self-selection (maybe cross-pollinating with the fact that software development tends to require either mental discipline, or hyperfocus...)
Anyone with P1 Gen 2 had issues with the built_in speakers? I can only get the right-sided speaker to work even after replacing them.
> I don’t understand this sentiment

If they're re-inventing the terminal poorly it can only ever make things worse. What is not to understand about the sentiment that the world should not get worse?

> The only thing that matters is how the market responds

The only thing that matters is whether or not something can in aggregate make the world a better place. Tons of stuff does and is profitable, but most things that are profitable emphatically do not. So this is a terrible signal.

> The Delphic oracle and the ethylene-intoxication hypothesis

Thanks, interesting read. The paper seems rather against the hypothesis, to say the least - it's a demolition.

"this hypothesis is implausible since it is based on problematic scientific and textual evidence, as well as a fallacious argument. ...the evidence did not support the conclusion. ... if it was not the positivist bent of the argument that made it so widely attractive, then how did such an implausible argument get such wide press?"

I don't want to give long quotes, but it says "developing the explanatory hypothesis required the combined efforts of an archeologist, a geologist, a chemist, and a toxicologist", but they offered a pathetically flimsy argument, which only seemed convincing due to the appearance of its scientific trappings, appeals to the glamour of the "interdisciplinary" and of explaining ancient mysteries with Science. It mostly looks at why it convinced anyone, and became widely known, although extremely low quality work.

The distinction is helpful so that people properly understand what's going on with and what's wrong with the code in question (the context is helping someone who did not fully understand). You're talking about the consequences in terms of compiler output and code execution, and yes, the usage is the problem.

I'm trying to find the source, however I read a while back that arugula (rocket) and green onion (chives/scallions) are two examples of plants that have not been selected for traits and are essentially the same as they were 1000 years ago. I recall the article (or maybe it was Nova?) going on to say that there were many more varieties of food plants in the same category, as an exception to so many which have been.
I don't think positivity is the solution for bad faith takes. I'd be happy with just good faith takes!

I ordered a cricket steak and was a little disappointed.

But seriously its not stigma, its cuisine preference.
This argument is based on nothing but price which is flawed.

Remember Bernie Madoff? Not saying that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme but just that price alone can be misleading and so better to assess it based on its' technical merits.

Credit to HN for not looking at the price alone and this makes HN less easy to fool.
I assume either deep nesting or deeplinks.
Many Synaptic touchpads don't have proper gesture support in X11. They work out of the box in Wayland, but on X11 gestures are meh even if you can get them to work. You can use a tool to execute commands on certain gestures, but you don't get the immediate response or the ability to pause halfway through.

The author bought a model that can come with an Nvidia GPU so I'm guessing they might be on X11. That could explain their problems.
A lot of companies in the Netherlands will be open to that. My experience is also that it's usually OKish, if you make it part of the salary negotiations.

If you are open to that, let them pick one day a week off / fewer hours per day and it'll be even easier to convince folks
For a lot of folks it's a time optimization problem. You have to spend X time getting ready and commuting to work that in most cases is unpaid. If that takes you an hour and a half all in (half an hour each way and half an hour getting ready) that's 1.5 hours a day or 7.5 hours a week. Nearly a full extra "work day" a week that you're uncompensated for.

At the high end of things you have folks in medical professions who not uncommonly work shifts like three 12 hour days and get paid as if they worked 40 hours.

At the low end you have things like hourly workers being forced into doing split shifts where they'll be asked to cover rush hours at a coffee shop or something (7-9am) and (11am - 1pm).
I don't think anyone expects the Nordic model to be free. Higher taxes in exchange for the associated benefits is what has been decided by the government, elected by the people. Of course there will be people against it, as well as people for it.
it can be argued that they actually are.

if that farmland could be used to make human food, which is a lot more remunerative, they already would.
Based on all the comments on HN about how great Thinkpads are supposed to be with Linux, I bought an X1-Extreme some time ago.

From my experience, Linux support for Lenovo devices is terrible.

ACPI, power management, and UEFI are consistently causing problems. Grub has an issue with the 4K display, causing it to render at about 1 FPS. The dual-GPU (Intel and nVidia) situation is unworkable under Linux. Suspend on lid close is unpredictable. The fingerprint reader has never worked, and the driver for the TPM appears unfinished business under Linux. The battery life under Linux is about half of what you can expect from Windows.

My setup with the AN40 Thunderbolt dock probably makes it worse, the AN40 (even under Windows) is a terrible buggy mess, after about 10 firmware updates it is now somewhat usable under Linux. Resume from stand-by is a gamble each morning. Prepare to reboot and power-cycle often if you want to run this dock under Linux. fwupd does not work for all peripherals (such as the TB dock), so you'll often need Windows to perform firmware updates.

Maybe I could solve some of this stuff if I'd spend some time on it, I don't know. I do know that as long as I run Linux as my daily driver, my next laptop won't be a Lenovo.

I figured OP was talking about Fig and Warp.dev so thanks for pointing out that they are not Electron!

I'm now curious if these were actually what OP was thinking of.
I'm fascinated by the dating app world, because it's a part of the culture I missed out on, as someone who has been in the same relationship since before the iPhone. But the way the author describes it is almost exactly the same as what being single was like 15+ years ago. I didn't have apps for doing intros, so there was more friction for that, but other than that, it doesn't seem like much has changed. From many of my friends, it sounds like navigating the electronic correspondence is as frustrating as trying to make spontaneous physical world connections, especially if your goal and/or the goal of the people you're corresponding with is to find potential relationship partners.
I believe this would depend on your DM. I've been playing since the mid-90s (not sure if that's far back enough for you! :) ), and we rarely rolled for random encounters like that.

In general the DM has a lot of say over the rules and their interpretation. A good DM will make a huge difference.
Even if you're developing your own house rules based on an existing system, it's great to have a variety of systems all with fleshed-out rules to draw from. And while it's good to retain some similarity between versions for the sake of thematic continuity, it's good to make each version distinctly different to give people distinctly different jumping-off points for their own rulesets. This is why, unlike seemingly everybody on the internet, I never begrudged D&D 4E for being so different from 3.5; it served its role in having a distinct identity from its predecessors to appeal to different people and result in different variations.
The cows need to consume food which has to be grown to produce manure. They don’t magically produce hydrogen, phosphorus and potassium on their own.
I was reading the journals of Gareth Jones about his time spent in Soviet Russia and Ukraine, and find remarkable similarities to this sort of thing.

The government took over, for example, the manufacture and maintenance of tractors, and also selected people nearly at random to maintain them.

The one guy he interviewed said something to the extent that the tractors barely last a year before breaking. The people who designed them were incompetent, the people who used them were incompetent, and the people who maintained them were incompetent. Not that it mattered, the oil they used was basically sludge.

I'm getting to the point where I'm struggling to believe Hanlon's Razor. Especially when the most extreme environmentalists seem to align with Thanos' ideas about resolution to climate issues.
Global food shortage always feels like "well, I'm not concerned many other countries will be hit first".
Many countries will literally have issues, but the food will _also_ be a lot more expensive for all of us.

The coming years will be "fun" (and I mean bad, to be clear).
I think the only important fact is that they wanted to.

Being thwarted, partially, this time, for the moment, in one location, doesn't change anything.

Do you deny the essential assertion that states seek to surveil, and get what they want? Does this speedbump change that?
Easiest way to avoid that: don't let weapons break and only introduce new weapons when players ask for it.

The rules shouldn't be a straightjacket dooming the players to a death spiral of despair and boredom. Especially so if they're your own houserules.

Personally I don't even understand why people buy rulebooks anymore. Just for the art I presume, or to cannibalise for their own systems and settings.
Then factor in all the havoc caused by ethanol in gas ruining seals, not working well in small engines, etc. and it’s just totally non-sensical that this fraud has been allowed to happen.

I'm torn, or maybe I misunderstood, from what I know about energy efficiency of CPU's, it has always been: Spend less time on the CPU.

If your task is short lived, or constrained by I/O, affining it to E cores is going to be better so that you don't have to "race to a stop-light".

But, to take an extreme example: having a 10w CPU awake for 24hrs vs a 30w one for 7 hours is going to be less energy efficient.
> CPU graphs don't show power usage and they never have

Sure, but Activity Monitor has separate CPU and Energy graphs, and the author here appears to be talking specifically about the Energy graph ("According to Activity Monitor’s Energy pane") rather than the CPU one.

I think this depends a lot on where you're interviewing. Showing up in a suit when everyone else is wearing flip flops makes you look like an asshole.

The best thing is to wear their dress code +1. If they are all very casual, wear business casual. If they are all business casual, maybe you want to wear a sports jacket.

If you can't easily find out what their dress code is, I default to business casual. I would not want to work at a place where a suit and tie is mandatory anyway.
Mmm.... .0003 oz cutlets.
Electron apps are always resource hogs, frequently slow and generally integrate extremely poorly. As a consumer I care not one whit for how large the "talent pool" for the web ecosystem is, I care about how terrible the application is.

As a developer I must say calling it talent is in most cases a huge stretch, as I do believe you can probably make something in Electron that performs passably, integrates passably and will still be a resource hog. The reason we see basically none of this is because people simply don't care to engineer these applications well. "It's just the browser", after all. Why look deeper?

> lot of software development, even at very high levels, has very little too do with what they teach in Comp Sci.

Indeed, I studied Maths & Philosophy and I always tell people that the Philosophy was a lot more useful to my career as a software developer than the Maths. (Analytic) Philosophy involves a lot of probing people's assumptions until you get to a clear idea of what they truly believe. Which is rather similar to the process of teasing clear requirements out of stakeholders.
Memories of doing manual labor on a tugboat for 12 hours a day 30 days straight keeps me pretty motivated. Also a fat paycheck.

I had lived in Berlin for over 7 years and the only rare sex I had was with the girlfriend which I had brought there with me.

Thanos’ ideas about everything were extremely silly. A halving of population would do nothing on any time scale. A small blip easily recovered by reproduction. People deserve better writing, even in comic book movies.
The Heise method might be a great fit for you. Unlike most methods, it requires no memorization. And, unlike most methods that require no algs, it can be quite fast.

> Shift away from animal based protein rapidly

While this always inevitably attracts the aggressively emotional "you can pry my nightly organic wagyu porterhouse steaks from my cold dead carnivorous hands, I'm not eating bugs", there's certainly a middle ground for flexitarian things.

A lot of meat consumed in the world isn't really consumed as meat like a steak or a lamb shank, it's "para-meat" like pink slime and low-grade mince, where it's really just a source of protein and umami to throw into ready meals, fast food and other industrial food where no one needs to see what it looked like as long as it says "chicken" on the menu. And it's only cheap enough to do that because it's subsidised.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I still chafe when I see 500g of tofu (often the only one carried in a supermarket[1]) costing the same as 1kg of chicken, which, kilo for kilo, probably ate at least 10x times that much soybean as is in the tofu.

And yes, I understand there's an economy of scale here, but it's more than just that. I think it's also that everyone from Nestle to supermarkets would rather, if people must shift from meat, that people substituted expensive alternatives like only organic tofu and "synthetic" meat alternatives since that's just more profitable.

[1]: Which always seems to be a spongy watery mess compared to the solid blocks you get in the Chinese supermarket (which also cost about half the normal supermarket variety).
In my opinion anything higher resolution on a screen that size is just wasted GPU power. The author mainly uses the laptop on a stand, attached to a monitor, from what I can tell from the pictures so they're likely even further away from the screen than normal laptop users.
That's fair... but do we need venture backed terminals like warp.dev?
Hi! Hope this reply is appropriate here, I'll delete it if not. I run a medium-size bootstrapping startup, working on environmental problems and financial equality. What are you looking for? (except 4 days and remote)
that only happens because the kind of crops that are farmed are subsidized, so it's economically advantageous to farm those specific crops.

we should stop subsidizing crops it only incentivize monocultures
Taking this in good faith, as the HN guidelines ask us to, I'm fairly certain that either your recollection or your measuring equipment is faulty.

Taking the "less impressive" https://goo.gl/maps/t1soU1WKtb7UBuwA9 as an example, you're claiming 60kph (37 mph) for nearly an hour over flat terrain. According to this cycling calculator [1] with some generous assumptions, that's over 800W average for an hour -- smashing the world record of 440 [2]. Similarly, that handily beats the world record of 55km in one hour [3], set by a professional in a velodrome under perfect conditions with a custom bike (including being at altitude for lower air resistance)

These claims are from 30-40 years ago so I don't fault you for misremembering specific times and distances, but cycling is a sport where people really obsess over numbers and metrics, and these just don't pass the sniff test.

And I suppose the soil unsuitable for crops ( too much clay, etc) but OK for wild grasses, or rocky terrain would just magically fix itself.

Maybe we should blast to level it, and make new soil then?

Around here, Quebec Canada, few cattle are grain fed, and the land they graze on is rocky, hilly, non crop land.

But, even more importantly, is that there is no food shortage. None. Zero. Nada.

In fact, all around the world, Canada, Europe, farmers are paid not to farm.

I detest it when people try to obtain goals, by using false narratives.
