I too came to criticise this line, on the basis it incurs a cost on others after you die, but it has merit: Let others decide how lavish to make your funeral, including leaving your body out for dogs to eat: you don't need to care, so why spend?

if you do chose to pay, make it as cheap as possible within the constraints of your circumstances. Leaving your body to science is cheap and useful.
> Shoot, I still remember the IP schemes and addresses from my Novell Netware servers from the job I left over 15 years ago.

My home internet provider recently changed up the IP ranges they have us connected on. I instantly recognized it as being the same subnet that the computers at my high school used to be on 25 years ago. And sure enough, whois confirms that the range is still controlled by the school district.
> it's the end of SF as a tech hub

People love to predict this, they seek it. Perhaps it feels like pushing against some establishment (when it's serving another establishment). It's trendy now, which affects people who follow trends, but trends change fast. Talented people want to be around other talented people; smart, intellectually curious people want to live where there are great restaurants, arts, beauty, sophisticated people, etc. I don't think that will change.
No, mostly I'm making it hard for myself.

I bought it off GOG, and was trying to run the windows copy from a mounted NTFS volume but no amount of fiddling, flags, versions of stuff seems to allow it to start.

I figure if I installed it locally it might work better. Will look at the ProtonDB entry I didn't think of doing that.
This might be a plausible outcome, except for two factors:

- Big Tech has been expanding out of CA for over a decade (e.g. Amazon HQ2, Microsoft Atlanta HQ, etc.)

- Tech compensation is highly weighted toward equity (RSUs/etc.).

Taken together, these mean that more regions have at least one big tech player that's paying significantly in equity. This means that even if the salary portion of compensation is reduced for employees living outside SF, their overall compensation will likely still be very competitive.

At the same time, regional markets are heating up as non-tech companies increasingly are staffing up with the same React & Swift programmers needed in SF. Why leave family & move to SF for $180k base when you can make $150k base in Atlanta or Raleigh, where the cost of living is a fraction of SF?

(Given recent actions in the public markets, it's also worth nothing that equity-based compensation frequently is topped up to some extent when stock values remain depressed. It's been a number of years since this broadly happened, but we can generally expect the $100B+ club (at least) to issue meaningful retention grants if stocks stay down while the labor market remains tight.)
When the kids are younger, they don't really need to stick with a specific curriculum throughout the year. As they get older, I imagine the need to dictate your schedule around school increases. And if they're at a boarding school, that really frees up your planning.
It asolutely isn't a prescription for the rest of us, its terribly a-social. It demands that "stop caring" is defined as "do the minimum harm, and do the maximum nice, within the limits"
This narrative bothers me because it conflates API support and UI consistency and also doesn't ring true. Between Windows 95 and Windows 7, Microsoft was able to maintain pretty good consistency in its internal UI. Yes, some more pro-oriented parts of the OS were very old (regedit), but it was overall pretty cohesive. What happened next was a series of half-hearted attempts to change windows' UI paradigm. This created a set of competing UI frameworks and styles - Windows 7 and older "classic" style, Windows 8 "Metro" style, then the "somewhere in the middle" Windows 10 style, and finally the rounded Windows 11 style we see today. Oh and "ribbon" vs toolbar fits somewhere in there too.

I think the real problem is Microsoft has failed to commit to any of these, and each change has left behind a bunch of OS elements that were just rewritten and is hard to justify rewriting again.

Contrast this to macOS, which has had mostly consistent UI concepts since 10.1. The cosmetic appearance has changed somewhat, but usually not in a way that requires a rewrite. I still use macOS apps dating back to 2010 and they look fine. iOS had a big change with iOS 7, but has had a mostly consistent direction since then as well.

I think the problem is that Apple's decision here seems arbitrary. They're not culling apps that are broken because of API changes. They're culling apps that still work and look fine but just haven't been updated.

I'm not sure what you're asking? There are a few commercial airline pilots whose parents owned airplanes, but those are rare. Most got their required flight hours either in the military, or by training in private flight schools and then working as flight instructors themselves.

Honestly, this looks like spam. I have no idea what a token is, how you get them, or how to use them. The token ui stuff in the site doesn't tell me any of this in a way that I can understand. The site needs a lot more background on why tokens are something I care about before I could take it seriously.
Can't agree more. Privacy of a small room but having people around when you _need_ them is the best of both worlds.

That includes labor, mounting hardware, inverters and grid tie in. It also assumes high efficiency panels.

Watch out before buying older technology (lower efficiency) panels. Some have significant efficiency losses per degree Celsius increase in temperature.

Agreed. This is the best advice I wish I could tell myself 20 years ago.
Use a password manager to generate 16 character strings as answers to each security questions. I guarantee your IT person will no longer remember them.
I am the employer, and it is a problem even after using a PEO. Plus, having an employee somewhere creates a nexus which is another whole set of problems.
I don't see how GC reduces null pointer exceptions. If anything, GC encourages the use of pointers (as opposed to nested child objects), which increases null pointer exceptions.
Just a heads up, I think you may have typoed "shift"...
I think a lot of founders and their friends are using the office as a replacement for a healthier separate social circle and social life that they lack (a lot of people lack that, and they do too), so for them they're really just hanging out and like the potential for “increased collaboration” for that reason
My apologies. I was confused “propter” and “propterea.”

Mea culpa.
I'm aware, it's the 6mo-5year group that you're ignoring. They're eligible for the flu shot, but no such covid vaccine had been approved yet. So to say that anyone who wanted a vaccine has got one by now is simply not true.

I'm pretty convinced this is an unproductive conversation given that you state we cannot erradicate the flu when we absolutely could erradicate the flu just like covid. You don't seem to understand how selfish it is to care more about personal freedoms than the accompanying personal impact to the health of others, such as that of toddlers. It makes me sick.
Obligatory reminder that this stance isn't universal and some people do like open floor plans (such as myself).
Apple, if you don't want to support old apps, let people build apps with APIs that are actually forwards compatible and designed with thought. The web!

And no, not some web view wrapper app. A legitimate web only app.

iOS is 15 years old now! It's pretty bad engineering to make breaking changes 15 years in a row. If they can't create a stable subset of their platform by now, will they ever have the competency to design something stable?

Meanwhile, a website from 20 years ago will still run just fine.
That has been true, but the military is rapidly drawing down their manned aircraft fleet. I would expect commercial airline pilots to increasingly come from private flight schools in the future.

I don't even see a loophole here. You don't want to make hotels surf r unlimited liability for a guest's belongings. You don't want to bankrupt a hotel just because a guest carelessly left the Hope diamond, or the Koh-i-noor, in their luggage. Buy traveller's insurance if your luggage is worth more than the maximum; it's readily available, fairly inexpensive, and covers exactly this situation.
Actually I think they were sufficiently self-deluded to believe that "increases collaboration" rap all along.
I have two points I think: there are more components than you are giving high COL areas credit for, and that even if high COL see some sort of exodus, this is not good for low cost of living areas.

I have been working remote for startups since 2019 and for whatever reasons, you could attribute this to low interest rates I suppose in your favor, things have gotten INSANELY more expensive. NYC, Boston, DC, Seattle, SF, LA, Miami I don't think they are getting any cheaper. These are Americas Elite Cities and thats going to command a demand that might seem to defy logic.

However I think people genuinely love living in these big HCOL cities. Otherwise it would defy all reason why they have been population centers for hundreds and hundreds of years. Take for instance Amsterdam; has Amsterdam gotten cheaper in the last 500 years?

To my second point, even if we are lucky and the money gets spread around a little bit what happens to the person working for 7$ an hour at the Hyvee in the Ozarks just because a small flurry of people from San Francisco and Seattle decided to settle there? What happens when he can't afford the property taxes on his paid off home anymore because a a random demand driven spike has increase the value of the properties around him to a point where he can't afford his property taxes anymore?

What happens when he can't afford his medical bills because of this? I've seen what happens and its a hunched over old dude outside of a tent on the streets of Seattle.

This isn't really the tech workers fault or the locals fault, but the fault of our government to account for inequality. Just something I've been thinking about. I just don't think that remote work is going to make life easier for anyone in the short term, except for the already spoiled white collar worker.
But while you're doing whatever it is that you're capturing, whether or not there is a loud humming noise the entire time can completely change the dynamic, especially if other people are around.
I interpret this advice to mean that if you think 20 feet should do it, get a 30 or 50 foot cord.

Personally, I prefer having more than one. At home I keep a pair of 50 foot cords of the same gauge as a 100 foot should be made of. I usually only need one, but sometimes need to chain both.

The transcripts of AF447 include the pilot telling the right seater to stop. More than once. But he keeps doing inputs.

Airbus 320 pilot told me there is a light that comes on when inputs dont match.

Now reread the transcripts with the assumption that the right seater might not have the best intentions.
> No one is as impressed with your possessions as you are.

I would add this corollary as I've seen the reverse problem a lot too:

Everyone knows two screens are better than one. So take both, and use the iPad as the second screen when using the laptop, and as a tablet when you’re not?
It can't. But you're not typically defining ONLY microstates along that trajectory as accessible. You are defining all accessible configurations according to your defined macrostate.

Knowledge of future microstates does not change what was already defined as a macrostate. The definition and the rules you used to construct a macrostate are independent to knowledge of the system.

If you gain knowledge of the system and you would like to change your macrostate, then be my guest. You can certainly do that, but "entropy" as we know it does not actually change with more knowledge unless you change the parameters according to your gained knowledge.

Think of it this way. The thermometer ALWAYS reads the same thing EVEN if you have 100% knowledge of the current microstate. You can build a new thermometer using some other mechanism to get a different reading and to take advantage of your new found knowledge... but you'd be changing the definition of your macrostate.
“All we need to do is to decide on how to spend the time that is given to us”. Gandalf knows best. The hard part is making that decision. It’s something that ideally happens once you know your personal values. But - It’s even harder to make those decisions once you realise that your values will change over time. What a pickle!

Something similar happened to me this last February: I had a 5 week rental in Baja Sur (Mexico). Due to a serious medical emergency (covid booster vaccine gave me ischemic lacunar stroke) I was hospitalized 2 days before my trip and hence had to cancel it. You can imagine, in the middle of the hospital brain fog and all, I just cancelled through the standard process without thinking twice.

Days later after I was stable and out of the hospital, I found out that the cancellation gave me back I think $200 usd of the around $2000 I had paid....

At some level I kind of felt it as abusive. But I'm sure there are enough small prints somewhere to which I agreed to that explain why it's OK. And given my health issue I decided not to worry about that (puts things in perspective haha). I was more sad that I had to cancel the vacation/trip my wife and I planned, due to that emergency.

Your requirement of a USB Aport to satisfy an esoteric accessory is a niche use case. They are not going to include A USB A just like why they won’t add a firewire port to satisfy that 1%.

Pretty much all new keyboards, even niche ones, now come with Type C standard. Plus you are making a huge deal out of the graceful degradation of attaching an adapter to your keyboard. If we’re going to permanently retrofit something its going to be your keyboard—not the macbook.

I upgrade my gear regularly. And because of that I pretty much never use USB A. Apple designs their products for people who upgrade their gear. If they add a USB A to my shiny new laptop it’d be quite annoying because it is 1 extra port that I will never use that is probably there at the expense of another Type C port.

I've had a few Dutch interns join me in Australia. One applicant who wasn't successful was a young woman whose CV included a few personal photos, one of which was a bit of a sultry pose straddling a chair. Not indecent, but certainly not work oriented.
For sure - although it's always interesting to hear what people like or not about it, and how they work around issues like distractions/attention scatter and the pure "don't watch over my shoulder when I need to check HN". Maybe it all depends on personal sensitivity to such things and the ability to focus/zone in to the music, but that still feels like a coping mechanism rather than something that naturally comes to most (and I'm saying that despite being able to hyper-focus myself, after many years in an open environment).

Agreed. I just want to make clear that Rust/Ada/etc. don't give correctness guarantees! Their compiler is just more enforcing. It's all not black and white.

Rust is promoted for its correctness, but those correctness related bugs Rust prevents are an extremely low fraction of real world bugs (comparing to managed memory languages). I mean, how many type-system related bugs are there in real world projects with Java, C# or Go?

Rust is promoted with "fearless concurrency". Does it prevent your code from deadlocks, which are among the most tricky bugs?

I have never really paid attention to Redoxfs before. I see that it is also meant to work with Linux as well.

It would be great if it could get some traction on Linux as any level of success on Linux would bring a relatively large audience and substantial testing. A filesystem also seems like the kind of place that Rust features would be very welcome. The fact that Linux is moving towards allowing Rust usage gives me hope that Redoxfs could make it into the kernel at some point.
I was so quick to criticize technology that I completely overlooked those points. Reading the article again, it’s embarrassing to see that I missed it when they were emphasizing it so much.

I have one more lingering criticism that I don’t think they addressed (I reread it twice).

What happens to the salt after it’s removed? If they don’t have a filter, where does it go? Do they pump brine water back?
I'm pretty sure "Open source" is a legally protected phrase owned by OSI with a precise definition.

It does have a precise definition (the OSD[1]), but OSI does not own the phrase in the sense of owning a (registered) trademark on it. They applied for such a trademark decades ago, but ultimately abandoned the application IIRC. That said, registered trademark or no, the OSD is by far and away the most widely accepted and used definition of what it means to be "open source". I'd argue that it is a de-facto standard, albeit not a de jure standard.

Nope. $millions in lost long term investment opportunities. Even worse if you took a loan to buy the car.
Haha thanks, gives a whole different meaning.
The polish you speak of is not the relevant factor in determining attractiveness. Height, facial features and non-obesity are the characteristics described, and with the exception of obesity, are largely immutable.

In other words, a professionally done photo of a goblin-like human will be viewed more negatively than a selfie of an attractive person.
Either we build open source, decentralizing, individual empowering, tech, or we work in support of our own enslavement. I know; we all wish it weren't so. It does not matter.
You can allocate 4GB of virtual memory which will ensure that it doesn't get allocated until you actually hit a new page. Heck, you can, and OurMachinery has a great blog post on this, allocate 100GB of virtual memory and then use pointers as immutable ids and your app will only use as much physical memory as needed and the OS will take care of the rest.

Pretty sure 6 hours is even more productive, at least for experienced people.
FWIW, I think you made a minor math error; you lost track of the 30 minutes. It would be 1 ounce of water for 3 watts of power over 30 minutes, which is 1.5 Wh of energy. That's 666 ounces per kWh.
> The chart is very obvious.

It is only obvious to people who have already drawn their conclusions and are looking for justifications to back up their conclusions.

> That doesn't happen by mistake, and if you look at the personal income charts it becomes even more obvious.

Once again, you already had your conclusion and went looking for "data". Personal income spiked briefly and fell back down back to its linear trajectory.

> The fact that it took a whole year for people to understand the root cause is quite amazing, given that we have this very obvious data. But there was a vested interest in it being a supply side issue, so I'm not surprised

Looks like there is vested interested everywhere.

In my experience, people who see the "obvious" in a very complicated issue are agenda driven people with vested interests. Also, my comment was in relation to consumption and inflation. My point was that you can't necessarily see inflation in consumption because you can't tell if the increase in consumption was due to inflation or more purchases. Something you completely ignored.
I see your point, but that's not really a photo inside of another photo. What kind of secret photos do people need to be hiding inside of other photos?
> These are the systems that might leak sodium and it's no big deal.

Sorry can you back this statement up with more than "it's safe, trust me"?

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if this statement can be accepted at face value. History has shown that's not enough.

But to me, any system that leaks by accident is a disaster waiting to happen on time scales that power plants are expected to operate on.
No, laws haven't yet caught up.

A good example is working remotely in another country. The US does not allow foreigners on a visitor visa to work remotely. It's a bit of a gray zone, since if you fly into the US for a business meeting, that's not regarded as "working in the US". But flying in for 1 month and working remote the entire time is.

Same with California income. Working in Nevada and then decide to work remote from California? That's CA income and taxable by CA. But of course people rarely even mention they're working in another state and rarely pay taxes owed.

I don’t believe any game/app that was/is available on one or two of many hand held computing devices is worth much “labor” from the maintainers of said game’s/app’s operating environment. I think it’s kind of hilarious to think that ANY application written to be run on a mobile device is so important that it should run forever or even X amount of time without adhering to the constraints of the runtime environment. Humanity NEEDS access to my iOS 1.0 minesweeper because <misplaced _software_ideology>
Yeah I debated using that word. Probably not entirely accurate. Something like “if you change that all the other problems are insignificant” might be better.

I think your explanation of how this can happen is plausible. But it’s also the problem with treating government services like businesses.

USPTO incentives should be aligned with the public good, not the bottom line.

This differs from a service like the USPS or Amtrak that address a market failure.
