The vim purist having 0 config wasn't my original thought. I had heard about it before and I have seen talks where the speaker would do everything with default vim syntax and not use plugins or maps. I personally have a bunch of plugins and shortcuts because I can't touch type. so I need most used keybindings close by.

I agree the inconsistencies with coreutils. Having helper tools and scripts vs spoon feeding with all options using arrow keys. Just the extremes, having aliases is all good and I never remember awk and sed syntax.
You had a billion dollar exit 6 months ago and you hate your life right now?!
The problem with taxes is that all the money effectively goes into a black hole from where senile, clueless or malicious politicians can draw to give to their friends, fall prey to unscrupulous suppliers (or be complicit and get a kickback, allowing them to "launder" public money into their own pocket) or spend it fighting stupid battles all while the country is falling apart (the UK as an example is notorious for constantly beating the "internet filtering" drum - low-income kids are starving and families can't afford heating bills, but porn on the internet is obviously a bigger problem).

I won't downvote and I agree with you in principle and wish I was lucky enough to live in a country where I can actually feel like I'm getting value out of my tax money, but as of right now that's not the case so I can totally understand tax evader's positions.
I agree and disagree.

I agree that it’s sloppy legislation and to that end the group to blame is the government (and ultimately the people).

But I disagree that if the rules don’t get enforced that it’s seemingly “ok” for people to exploit it. They should have common decency and ethical guidelines here. Probably why I’m not one of them.
Bingo.

When I left home at 15, I got into crime, as no-one would hire a smelly homeless kid.

Then when I turned 16, I was able to get a social security payment for "independent youths". I wasn't living in the lap of luxury, but I could actually pay rent in a flat and buy food, without committing crime.

So now that I'm earning a very decent wage as a dev, paying my taxes is the very least I can do to contribute to a country that supported me when I needed it.
This comment chain at the top of a good article is more annoying than the ads were in the article.
vim wars. I am on the vim side. I don't care about vscode that much. The only gripe is the first class support vscode gets in terms of plugins as compared to (neo)vim.
> Though I haven't counted the blinkenlights on my router, switch, etc. Maybe all of those added up will tip the balance.

No way those total over a watt.
I'm amazed that anyone can find any decent programming content on YouTube. There are low-quality beginners webdev tutorials as far as the eye can see, but otherwise there's seemingly very little outside of rambling and superficial conference talks. And on the odd occasion when I do watch a video, YouTube decides that I must be a beginning webdev and bombards me with the aforementioned low-quality Javascript and HTML tutorials for the next several weeks.

I played it from launch until around 2010 or so.

Is it worth it? No. Is there a good alternative? No. EVE Online always had an element of spreadsheets to it. It was designed that way. The original game design was done inside excel.

Personally I find it fascinating that CCP didn’t build their own spreadsheet functionality into the game considering how many players used spreadsheets to calculate mining yield returns, industrial runs, research and BP copying. The only area of EVE where spreadsheets go out the window is war.

I have probably 20,000 hours in the game. I lived on EVE from 2003-2010 and then would log on every once in a while to get my space fix.

The one thing I will say about the game, it inspired me to try to create my own back in the day. It was too much work for me but I did manage to get a demo of flying around from Star system to star system using an EVE-Online like warp and scene management.

The artwork of EVE is fantastic. The space environments are A+. The actual gameplay though is a bit stale to todays gamers. It’s more a kin to old school rpg’s where you target something and let the auto attack do it’s thing.
> we should not use foreign keys

Not using foreign key constraints is a good idea. Occasionally. Very occasionally.
I explicitly downvote videos that aren't directly relevant to what I want to keep seeing. This does mean that I often downvote videos that I've enjoyed, such as useful product reviews for something that I'm buying. This keeps my recommendations relatively clean.
Actually, I just put a used HP ProDesk 600 G3 Microtower (Pentium Gold G4560) into operation, and my energy meter shows 0.0W most of the time (which can't be true, but apparently it's something <1W) with Ubuntu + TLP installed and the HDD in standby.

Here are my TLP settings:

TLP_DEFAULT_MODE=BAT
TLP_PERSISTENT_DEFAULT=1

# Change some BAT settings back to AC defaults
CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_BAT=100
CPU_BOOST_ON_BAT=1
CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_BAT=1

# Disable options that are undesirable for servers
MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_BAT=0
WOL_DISABLE=0

DISK_DEVICES="sda sdb"

# Leave disk power management to hd-idle ('PM_ON=on' means PM off, obviously /s)
AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=on
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_BAT="keep keep"
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_BAT="keep keep"

I use hd-idle for spinning down the HDD (sdb) because the shucked WD "White Label"/Ultrastar He10 apparently doesn't care for APM or Standby Timer settings set through TLP:

echo 'HD_IDLE_OPTS="-i 0 -a sdb -i 1800 -l /var/log/hd-idle/hd-idle.log"' >> /etc/default/hd-idle
systemctl enable hd-idle.service

Besides that, I had to

systemctl disable udisks2

because udisks2 wakes up the drives every 10 minutes, no configuration possible. Also, smartd (from smartmontools) shouldn't wake the HDD if it's in standby, but it will reset hd-idle's standby timer, so I tell smartd to run every 24 hours instead of 30 minutes:

echo 'smartd_opts="--interval=86400"' >> /etc/default/smartmontools
I don't think anyone has done the legwork to link "your taxes" and a moral aspect. There are a lot of basic unresolved questions (if Jeff Bezos pays more in taxes than you earn in your lifetime, has he payed his fair share? Why/why not? Are the standards used to work that out some sort of objective moral or just a reflection of personal interest speaking? A suspicious number of moral justifications involve other people paying all the taxes & not the moraliser). And a company like Apple has had a bigger positive influence on my lifestyle than a large number of government agencies. Some of those agencies are trying to make my life worse as far as I reckon it.

If the law says some entity must pay X tax it is uncertain what it would mean, in practice, to claim "their taxes" were really Y, some other amount they aren't legally obliged to pay.

> The whole idea that you can make a billion dollar business without being hugely dependent on the infrastructure, education, history, societal background etc that has largely been paid for by...taxes...is utter fallacy.

A business is a hypothetical entity, a term for a system of organising people to do things. Things that are measurably in high demand. It is profoundly uncertain that diverting money out of those systems is a good idea. Observing that businesses rely on their context does not start or end the argument about how much tax they should pay.

Does anybody here know if there some sort of publically-available tracker for utility spare parts volumes in the US? It's probably the kind of data you need to pay to get but it would be nice if there's something for free.
I'm using an Acer laptop that must be 15 years old for pfsense, never misses a beat, built in UPS! I've got a second laptop, a MacBook air from 2012 running a bunch of containers for Plex, hassio, etc. Works fine. I've got it all in a 19" rack I built out of wood. World's cheapest homelab. Haven't changed it in years.
I turned off storing my watch history on youtube and what that means is that my feed and recommendations became terrible. That is a great thing!

I now only spend time watching videos on youtube when I actually want to watch something and search for it and not end up in a wormhole of watching 4 hours of videos back to back to back.
> If that's not %100 secure, it's OK because that's part of the risks about going against the authority.

I was more talking about border control, which has been known especially in the US to believe that non-US citizens have no rights at all and even the rights of US citizens and permanent residents have limited rights.

And for what it's worth you can end up having your devices seized or being executed by police simply for the "crime" of being at the wrong place at the wrong time because the cops managed to fuck up the warrant or its execution by blowing up the door at the wrong address.

Police going rogue are a threat model everyone should be aware of these days.
> It wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty close as people were really nervous and conservative

How is that close to perfect? I assure you that some people who would need and actually deserve that payout wouldn't apply for it just out of the irrational fear that it will cause them problems later.

Bitcoin is obviously not capital.

People pulling out of BTC in order to consume just underlines the fact it is not currency either.

The fact BTC has dropped 50% over the past 6 months should demonstrate that it is one of the worst imaginable vehicles for saving money.

It's not capital, it's not currency, it's not digital gold --- just what is it?

How about a risky tool mainly used for nothing but pure speculation that "bigger fools" remain plentiful?

While there are laptops which accept 3 or even 4 SSD's, and which could do this task, those are very expensive, so few might have one handy.

Older ARM SBC's had many limitations in the number of PCIe, SATA and USB 3 interfaces.

Nevertheless, now a much better ARM CPU has become available for cheaper devices (i.e. in the $100 to $200 range), the Rockchip RK3588 (quadruple Cortex-A76 + quadruple Cortex-A55 + triple Cortex-M0).

For now, this is the only ARM CPU with a decent speed, comparable or better than the Intel Gemini Lake Refresh CPUs, except for the much more expensive NVIDIA Xavier or Orin, or the Qualcomm Snapdragon SBCs, which are much more expensive than Intel/AMD CPUs + motherboards, having similar features.

There are at least 5 or 6 companies who have announced boards with RK3588, ranging in size from credit-card size, like Raspberry Pi, to the larger picoITX, and up to the miniITX form factor. Hopefully such boards will be available in the second half of 2022.

Some of these boards have up to 4 SATA connectors, besides an M.2 NVME SSD slot, so they could be easily used as a NAS.

According to the published reviews of such a board, the typical total power consumption (without SSDs/HDDs) is around 5 W, and the peak power, at maximum CPU utilization, around 13 W.
> Now I just have to check the comments.

The problem is that the comments section can be fully managed by the uploader. It's easily possible for them to delete negative comments or even to add filters to do so automatically.
On iPhone's case it's Apple and it is accessed by a password but in this hypothetical scenario it could be your own infrastructure or another device you own and that one can be password-less of that's your thing. Having one password to activate your authentication device is not a gin deal, it can be something like
mnemonic seed etc.

The hazard is not one password but endless ways to authenticate through endless passwords.
I understand that youtube recommendations can be a very useful tool, but I definitely do not want depend on any opaque recommendation system for my daily media consumption or whatever.

Given the existence of "Subscriptions" page I don't really understand the problem. Do you really want to consume regularly from the sources you didn't explicitly "verify" yourself i.e. subscribed to?

I simple use the Unhook browser plugin which hides the Home, Trending, recommendations side bar, comments, etc. for me so I only have the Subscriptions page, and the search bar. Makes the youtube experience SO MUCH better.
The search results also got worse. For some reason they now mix random video recommendations with the result list, including videos that have no connection whatsoever to the search and that I already have seen.
No solution on a PC or non-Apple laptops offers this. Apple and Android devices can because they have secure enclaves with the capability to do trusted analysis and attestation of fingerprints and photos, but no one else has the required technology and the required secure communication channels between the involved components.
I loved this game! Looking back, I'm surprised that I had the patience as an eight year old to master this game's control scheme. This definitely applies to other contemporary so-called 'sims', like Mechwarrior.

I probably should have made it clear on the article that I'm talking about software development and not every possible type of work.

When you scope it to software, remote does imply async work at varying degrees. One of the reasons I call it a farce is because they boast the "flexible work hours!" then in reality you have to be there for 20h+ of meetings in a week.
> Then you can earn interest on the dollars.

Can you really, while maintaining liquidity and taking low risks?

These two conditions are important, because if you buy risky assets, then you can end-up below 1:1 when markets decline, and if you hold illiquid assets, then it doesn't really matters that you have the asset at all, as you cannot defend the peg with illiquid assets.

Part of it is about avoiding the possibility of screwing up by eg picking poor passwords or giving your password to the wrong site or allowing replay attacks (though I guess tls mostly protects from that).

You don’t need to rely on cloud backups, though many users will. It is also usually possible to set up things like account recovery codes (which you print out and put somewhere safe) or TOTP auth (more useful if you eg aren’t able to carry a yubikey everywhere with you / can’t plug it into your phone).

No I'm not. This is pretty entry level econ material. Price elasticity is very well studied and there's plenty of resources to learn more about it.

I like this vision of how things should work, but finding an ISP that _doesn't_ put a firewall for incoming connections nor use an ISP-grade NAT is challenging.

In my [limited] experience, neither tech support nor sales have any idea what any of these terms mean, so they can't advise at all.
I guess the US has its problems. If that's an issue, don't go there and if you choose to go, don't bring a device with you that you can't tolerate being investigated by the authorities.

It's unreasonable to say that all your problems in life must be solved by this one tech or it's not worth having it.
I was explaining how we used to add drop shadows on web pages to one of the younger members of our team a month or two ago and they found it hilarious. An image sliced up into several bits, a table (often embedded in another table) and various other hacks to make everything line up nicely versus a single line of CSS now.

What a time to be alive.
Sure. But is that achievable over a short period when the experiment is New York only and you’re a large national company? Not convinced.

I actually got into software/systems engineering working on internal software for "minor" player groups in EVE. The level of integration[0] those orgs had 10+ years ago outranks 80% of my current real-world clients in terms of discoverability, documentation and depth.

I mean that's what you get from a bunch of eve-playing nerds committing to a labor of love. Best projects I've ever had.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_oxygen_system for details on the two types of systems used (not an expert, just duck-ducked it out of curiousity). Yes - there is (sometimes) an oxygen candle above each seat. Does that make it a consumer product? I'm not sure and no opinion on that aspect, I mainly included the link for those interested in how they work. To coin a phrase 'Now I know'.
The nice thing about being a hedge fund manager is that you don't have to pay back any "carry" from profits in earlier years.
I use Alacritty full time (tried kitty, didn't work with my workflow), personal and work. I am not ruling those off. I don't mean to come as mean and conservative. I just don't like the over emphasis on "spoon feeding" tools across media. I know there are much better tools which can help with productivity. But, new engineers are only going to pick tools which are "marketed", the "hip" ones without weighing merits. But for sure, whatever works for them, who am I to judge.

I too use a whole lot of tools to keep the output less messy and I know some tools which have changed my life, ripgrep, exa, neovim, zsh, alacritty, git extensions, fzf and what not.
Interesting project. I've noticed that under "Future Releases", you have support for C# planned, which already has support for its own templates which are installable through NuGet. What does your project change from this?
For me the dream seems to be a relational, real-time (with optionally configurable JSON/HTML snippet updates going to client applications), with extremely good latency, offline sync, etc. Bonus if the client can pick the fields it wants a-la graphql. Some sort of Rails + Hotwire + Firebase combination which works with web pages and apps alike.
I've recently heard about this YouTube account named Roel Van De Paar. If you've looked up any error message on YouTube recently, you've probably run into him. Because of the "no dislikes" change, he's everywhere now.

And by everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. The account has over 2 million videos. Approximately 0.2% of ALL videos on the ENTIRE platform of YouTube can be attributed to this account, and if you check now they've probably uploaded a few videos in the past couple minutes. The videos are generated crap, ripped from tech forums. Normally you wouldn't see it anywhere due to dislikes being easy to spot, but now they pop up all the time in search results due to dislikes becoming a sort of "hidden feature".

Hiding dislikes = less people press dislike (no feedback) = low quality videos are much harder to get rid of in search results. It's really, really bad.
A tangent: how hard would it be to integrate Elm into this? I think as a language it has a lot of teaching potential combined with natto.

I have no proof, but it is probably with Youtube trying to compete with Tiktok. There are more originals content on Tiktok and on Tiktok any user can easily publish content.

So it would make sense that Youtube is trying to favor new creators and short videos. Actually a lot of Youtubers for a few months have been complaining, that the algo penalize channels that dont publish frequently.

I'm myself a big Youtube watcher, and I have not been seeing significant changes in the videos I see, there is more short videos, and videos from Tiktok reposted here but in my opinion it is just because more content of that kind is being published.

There is also a discovery problem on Youtube. They usually recommend you content that is close to the content you have seen recently (but it has always been like that). Once per week there is a truly original video that pops up.
But it does recommend videos to you. It is absolutely not just "Popularity Ranking".

On my youtube front page the first row of videos are: a recent Scott Manley video about some SpaceX thing (which is in my interests), a DnD game (which I have already seen on twitch, youtube of course has no way knowing that), a song from a band I'm listening to since a few days, and a video documenting a glider airplane adventure. All in my areas of interest and I highly doubt that these are the 4 most popular videos on youtube right now.

> Recommendation, as we understanding it, means understanding our interests first.

Yes. And that's what they try to do. Sometimes they fail. For a hypothetical lets say that I recommend to my friend that they should see the new superhero movie in cinemas. They go and watch it and they don't like it. Clearly that means that my recommendation was a bad one, but does it stop being a recommendation? Only perfect recommenders are worth that name?
This is like Amazon recommending the exact same item you just bought, sometimes from a different brand or vendor. "We see you bought a toaster, surely you need a hundred more."
When I make an estimate, I just double what I think it is and this is usual pretty accurate. I keep underestimating, sometimes doubling down I wonder myself, will it really take this long? 99% of the time, in the end, the answer was yes. So this is my goto method. People still think I finish stuff quick, even if I think myself it's too long.
