This is an industry the government is actively fighting. Short term there are profits but long term the outlook is bad and these projects need to pay off over decades to make sense.

Take Keystone XL as an example. Billions were spent only for it to be cancelled on the eve of construction by a new president. This is not a good industry to invest in long term.

The correct response is to milk existing infrastructure until it is no longer serviceable rather than trying to add new capacity.

I took a stab at recreating one of the diagrams here, using pikchr: https://zellyn.com/2022/02/tailscale-diagram-in-pikchr/
As the author says, that 150% is not that good for the quality of text fonts showed on screen. I've been using a Dell UP2715K (27", 5K) for a few years and I've always used it at 200% scaling as the piece suggests. The texts are crystal clear, it's almost like seeing not a screen, but a sticker: everything is so well defined and precise.

Maybe that's because my eyesight is not that good lately. Even considering that, I really can perceive a 150% scaling on a 4K monitor when I see it. It isn't that bad and sure you can work with that, but man, do try 5K at 200% and then tell me about it.

It's a real tragedy there are not more 5K displays. The Apple Studio Display is expensive and a little absurd with that webcam and the A13 chip, but at least you can enjoy that resolution. I wonder if display makers will consider this someday and stop selling so much gaming models and so little 'work' models.

This is exactly what Nim does. If you try to define both my_var and myVar it will error out.

The benefit is to avoid confusing variables or procs named my_var, myVar and myvar.
I know Disney pretends that "Song of the South" never existed, but Joel Chandler Harris' "The Tales of Uncle Remus" etc., includes a few stories where the animals meet their ends. Disney passed on those tales of course (leaving them as well out of the Disney book that followed the film and included additional Harris tales).

Like the suggestion that "Bambi" is a parable, it has been also suggested that Brer Rabbit represents the slave of the Antebellum South surviving against the toothed and clawed Brer Fox and Brer Bear only by his wits (though in fact Brer Wolf meets his own end at the hands of Brer Rabbit's "wit" ... or boiling water in his specific case).
Hi, we were going to try it - but self hosting was a requirement and setting up CouchDB for it was a dealbreaker for our team.
> It's still a pointless overreach there should at least be an easy setting for of course

That seems like a stretch. Why should it be easy to give any app full permission of your device? This is an extremely dangerous permission to give, well, anything. It should be possible (and it seems like it is), but why should it be easy?

And calling it a "pointless overreach" is some real sticking your head in the sand stuff. This isn't a fake threat. This abuse isn't theoretical, it's deployed in the wild. The article even provides multiple examples.
I use it and do find it useful. The decorative aspects of the journal keep me engaged. That is, if I spend five minutes doodling or drawing lines and bullets, my mind is occupied with what's on the page. Whereas a digital todo list or calendar, it takes only a second to add a new item and then it's discarded from memory.

My advice, just give it a try. A pen and a notebook is a pretty small investment. My journal looks nothing like the ones on YouTube.
Doesn't make sense. Their employer literally paid them to learn from their mistake.

From what I've read the Remarkable was plagued with fragility, overly restrictive ecosystem and poor performance. The Boox is Android and therefore easily customized and overall really easy to use and sync with.
The most popular fairy tales also have been modified to be more kid friendly. Nobody saved Little Red Riding Hood. Sleeping Beauty wasn't kissed, she was raped in her sleep and gave birth; it was her child sucking the needle out of her finger that woke her up.

These used to be more than just stories for kids, but modern fairy tales are rarely ever told to an adult audience anymore. For many fairy tales, the happy ending was added centuries after they spread.

> The researchers further stated that Apple is fully aware of their discoveries, but say that the California-based company hasn't shared plans for whether or not they'll deploy mitigations.

I'm going to guess they will not but may make future engineering changes down the road to aid in prevention. Given that this is the design of the system though, I'm not sure how you could do this, or how terrible performance would get if you tried to mitigate this.

I'm not arguing that 3 meals is the best pattern of eating, I'm saying that advocating for and glamorizing someone only eating every other day looks a lot like the way anorexia presents among dieting influencers today and teen magazines of 20 years ago. It's clear where that path leads, and I'm urging caution.

This is also just an evolutionary form of the appeal to antiquity fallacy. I might also point out that we have no clue how early humans apportioned meals throughout the day.
There has never been a leak like this in the court’s history; and the way the court works is that an opinion is not an opinion of the court until the moment it is handed down. This is a first draft from February while the court is still in its deliberative process and it has the potential to undermine the trust between Justices and between Justices and their staff not because of the contents of the draft—each and every Justice already had access to it—but because a leak happened at all and it was a politically motivated leak.

So yeah, this matters, and so does the state of the court’s integrity not because of what the general public thinks, but because if the court is to function at all, the court itself needs to believe in its own integrity.
Sometimes things are so obvious you think, “why didn’t we do this before?”. This makes a lot of sense I would definitely use it. Only barrier to adoption IMO is lack of implementation. A few libs for a few popular languages and the friction for using it is gone.
You can have easy or cheap, but you can't have both. Hetzner, Linode, and Digital Ocean are cheap, but you'll have to learn how to set up a server.

You may have a better experience with AWS AppDeploy or Elastic Beanstalk, which can be very cheap (all free tier).

Heroku is probably the easiest, but it's extremely expensive if you need anything beyond the free tier.
I was equally confused as you are.

Bugs Bunny is interesting in that it had a large cultural influence.

It also turned "nimrod" into an insult, when people misunderstood Bugs Bunny sarcastically calling Elmer Fudd "Nimrod". Nimrod is a mighty hunter from the Bible, and Bugs' expression was equivalent to calling somebody stupid "Einstein".

So now "nimrod" effectively means "moron", though that wasn't the intention.
The initial update said that the Heroku internal code itself was accessed. I wonder if they grabbed that, then analysed it to find various exploits?
I’m confused. This reads to me that he was in touch enough to know to hoodwink the twins , make Facebook “exclusive” enough for it to be wanted and make it successful.

I think a common misconception is that one’s morals and ethics prohibits them from doing not-socially acceptable actions. I don’t believe this to be true. Rather , I believe one might hesitate (and for all we know he might have) but if this incentive is greater than aligning with what’s commonly accepted as right, than I don’t see Mark’s actions as Sociopathic. It’s what I expect most people to do , especially in the business world.

There is no competition in the US for starlink though. If you are out of Comcast or ATT range, you get nothing or maybe 1.5MB DSL.
Hard to say, since we have no idea how the antivirus vendors are identifying nim. Maybe there's something about the fact that nim compiles to C which is then usually compiled by mingw? (You can use compilers other than mingw, but it's the default).

Mingw might have a higher weight for "this is malware". Then you combine that with nim generating code that's common across most nim binaries (the GC, boilerplate symbols, etc).

Then there's perhaps not enough positive signals to offset that, since there's not yet a wildly popular windows app written in nim.
Without the attempt to return the item, how would we know if the person accidentally stole it, versus lying about forgetting?

Cartels are also econ 101. And OPEC is quite famously a price fixing cartel. and 101 means "so simple it's basically wrong but we have to start somewhere" anyway.
I love Nim and wish it would take off and become as common as python. Case sensitivity isn't affecting that for me. But it still really irks me.

There are times when you might want to use the same variables in different cases (math), and the assumption that you wouldn't seems like nannying to me.

Also, fundamentally, it's a very english-centric view and encourages that by default. I'd prefer case assumptions weren't implicitly baked into the language at a basic level.

I guess for me I just feel like a character is a character and I don't want the language telling me I should view it differently.
You interview two candidates, they both have exactly 1 year experience and no degree. They both have done satisfactory at their first role, but one has also stayed learning and has a few side projects to show for it. Which do you choose?
You mean in general, or how Craft does it? You set up an account with them, and buy as many licenses as you need. Furthermore, you also don't have to buy a license each year, you just won't get updates. The renewal fee stays the same, even if you pause it for a few years.

It's not a problem that can be solved at an individual level.

Physical drugs are relatively easy to not get into because for the most part, the majority of society doesn't use them and their users are still mostly marginalized. If your current social group are drug addicts it's possible to find a new, healthier group.

Digital drugs on the other hand are something that nearly everyone uses and thus you have to use them if you want to effectively fit in and participate in society. Not consuming these drugs just makes you an outcast especially in a ruthless environment such as school.

The solution is regulation to make digital-drug-dealing illegal. Kill this whole "attention economy" with fire and make such a disgusting business model impossible to operate and the problem will self-resolve.
That's wild, and really heavy. I'm so glad I didn't see that when I was a kid.

Unfortunately, the way I've felt during my childhood, French schools don't teach critical thinking. Basically every student comes out of school saying exactly the same thing: more government, more power to the government, politicians, public services... Most schools are run by the government after all, and obviously governments will claim they need more power or society will decay.

So from a young age students are basically taught to give up their power if not their lives to authorities, to politics. It has to be politics, it can't come from the individual. So they don't care about freedom or personal sovereignty (that's evil), they ask for government, rules, laws and taxes like would seniors. And they call that protection, if not "progress".

I don't blame you, it's hard to stand across a tidal wave, especially when young. But how about standing out a bit from the herd once and think outside of the political box?
Implementing a simple and effective tagging strategy for visibility and monitoring is one of the most important aspect of cloud cost control. From our experience, this is where most of our own users start.

Knowing the "why's" and "where" will help everyone within the org (eng and finance) make better decisions on what and where to focus on (https://www.cloudforecast.io/blog/aws-tagging-best-practices...). Also, it'll make AWS Cost Explorer or any other cost managements tools WAY more effective.

Cost optimization can feel like drinking from a firehouse since there are so many different strategies, and approaches to it (autoscaling, spot, reserved instances/savings plans, eliminating idle & wasted resources, etc.). Also, you have to apply your OWN organizational context to it as well (business and tech side). There is a fine balance companies and eng dept need to take with cloud cost control since it can be a huge time commitment to pull your end dept into.

Paypal is amazing for this. I jump between trials for news outlets and I can just sign up for the trial, immediately cancel my billing agreement through Paypal's interface and when the service tries to renew they'll simply be denied. I'm not sure if even possible for them to check, but services only seem to notice when they try to charge me again.

Once pitfall is you should never attach a credit card to a service you do this with. Back when I was a student and I re-instated my Chegg subscription with a credit card to study for finals and they immediately back-charged me for the time in between. This was despite being pretty certain I also cancelled from their website, and 100% certain that they had cut off my service for that time period, otherwise I wouldn't have been prompted to renew my subscription.

After a long phone conversation I learned companies don't care about well-reasoned arguments, but they'll flinch at the first mention of a charge back.
Why did the guy post this on twitter, doesn't he know the kind of reaction it will generate.

Ask HN: Is a very high IQ bad for open-ended creativity?
While a very high IQ is clearly excellent for directed creativity (e.g., solving a given math problem), one might expect it to be not so great for open-ended creativity (e.g., writing a novel, designing a novel game, etc.).

Is this the case?

One of my favorite curvature-of-the-earth/engineering details is that the tops of the towers of the Verrazon Narrows Bridge are 1 5/8 inches farther apart at their tops than at their bases due to the curvature of the earth.

As sibling comments indicate, I would advise emailing HN mods to take this post down and remove it from your blog and post it on an anonymous one. Here are the problems you will face:

1) Your current blog has your current employer + client linked to it.
2) Your github has your real name.
3) All of these have been crawled/archived.

None of this bodes well for your career in the future. While I think your blog post is a great war story, it's really not a good idea to post it on your main account which can be traced back to your real name and CV because it will come up the next time you apply for a job.

Unfortunately, even if it illustrates a great deal of ingenuity and creativity on your part in fixing a mess you made, many folks will take one look at it and be judgmental. You have to manage your reputation online and be careful.
What negativity and arrogance in the comments here. Jeez, it's like no one HN ever made a mistake, a bunch of 10xers ninja programmers here. Please read this:

As someone who grew up "a hacker teenager" and has been working in tech, writing code, etc., for ... yikes, 34 years ... let me say: some people are very fortunate that they have the self-awareness to recognize what their life's purpose is.

I'm not one of those people.

Tried therapy. Working with coaches. Experimented with drugs, both prescribed by psychopharmacologists, and ... the other kind.

Don't let this discourage you: most people don't seem to have this problem, finding their purpose.

If you truly and actually want a job solving problems and making an impact of some kind, as you say you do, then start with yourself: how could you solve this problem? What experiments might you design and execute? What questions would you seek answers to? What are your success criteria? Are there experts you could seek out for assistance?

Ultimately, you might find that you're only fooling yourself, saying you want a purpose because you've formed that opinion through life experience or some other influence, either internal or external.

It's also perfectly okay to just "be" and not have a purpose: this is probably the hardest thing for me, personally, to recognize as true and fully accept, too. But, it is.

In the end, my personal advice would be to spend some time, whether it's minutes, hours, or days, and write down a list of every single thing you like to do, no matter how trivial or whether you think it's "wrong" for you to like doing it or not. Don't focus on all the things you don't like doing, don't create a "cons" list of those things. Only focus on the "pros" and write them ALL down.

Then, once you've got a fairly extensive list, start creating groups or clusters (permutations, with reuse) of the things on the list, and look for patterns that emerge that suggest possible professions or at least things you could develop and get good at.

Then, start doing those things. The things you truly, genuinely like doing. Then, eventually, you can figure out how to monetize those activities. Almost everything in life is monetizable if you're willing to.

The challenge is finding the things you truly like doing and going out and doing them.
