Yep, fair enough. As a single-threaded design, I have no particular problems with it.
> I would regard it as their car, and possibly go so far as to say they own it, if I wasn't thinking too hard about it, and maybe even if I was. it's in their possession.

Thought experiment: If they were to damage their vehicle (but assuming it's still legal to drive), who gets to decide whether it should - or indeed must - be repaired? Your parents, or someone else?

(Full disclosure: I recently added some scratches to my wife's car after a concrete pillar jumped out in front of me in an underground car park. I don't need to involve the insurance company, I don't need to talk to any bank or finance company, I can simply go to any local independent provider and have the car repaired. Or indeed not, if I decide it's not worth it.)
Some ideas and resources for finding a job that's a better fit for you:

-Look for companies that are doing work that you're passionate about. If you're interested in a particular topic or technology, follow companies and leaders in that space on social media, read their blog posts, and see if they're hiring.

-Check out job boards that focus on your specific skillset or industry. For example, if you're a software engineer, you can search for job postings on sites like Stack Overflow Jobs or Hired.

-Look for companies that are located in an area that you want to live in. This can help you narrow down your search to companies that are a good fit for you geographically.

- Ask your friends, family, and professional contacts if they know of any companies that are hiring. Personal recommendations can be a great way to find a job that's a good fit for you.

That's an issue of the implementation, not of the concept of hardware 2fA. With SSH keys, you don't need them around to enroll them, as they use public key cryptography. I can point someone else to github.com/est31.keys and they can give me ssh access. The actual ssh keys can reside on hardware.

For some reason, this use case was not considered for Webauthn.
And also for searching quickly in rainbow tables.
They provide free subdomains, not free domains. Title is misleading.
Ban ICE vehicles, coal power plants and get rid of mass animal farming? And then we do what, go back to the caves?
Not an expert but I would say for the following reasons:

- It’s a lot of asphalt

- construction happens over a wide possibly remote area so all construction materials need transportation

- materials are probably made to order so you are buying effectively a lot of custom components

- engineering/architecture/construction talent isn’t cheap and there’s a lot of competing demand

- hiring is even more difficult as the job isn’t in one place may require a lot of travel, bed and board for all types of workers

- property itself is possible a significant cost to build it through. Even more if you get caught up in legal battles acquiring certain properties

- grift, with large projects in any country at any time there’s always grift. Grift is a constant
Fusion does remind me of the space program. Surprising new solutions in a wide range of sciences. Easy to produce superconducting ribbons being one of the big successes so far. Said ribbons have lead to significant improvements in electro magnets, improving both field strength and decreasing the magnet sizes. Said magnets are useful for a wide variety of applications (outside of fusion), like improved MRI machines. The ribbons have the potential to help transmit power across the grid with less losses. Significant improvements in predicting and shaping turbulence in plasma has a wide range of applications in producing more efficient engines. Using AI/ML to attack the complexity of the plasma flows that were otherwise computationally intractable.

I'm all for the LHC, but it does seem like the world needs a bit better of an idea of the mysteries that the LHC++ might solve before spending $10-$100B on it. Does seem like science could be pushed further in other areas.
The problem is not AppStore-downloaded app using AppStore for IAP, it is that I am not able to download anything I would deem necessary on my very own general purpose device if Apple deems it not a good fit for their platform. For all I care force IAPs to go through their servers for 30%, the majority of the users will still use it just fine.

Just put a scary looking, click 35 times on this hidden menu option to allow proper sideloading, not this 3 apps for 7 days bullshit.
My immediate skepticism is whether there is a dollar limit to your perspective

$100,000,000,000 with afterthought of “sure lets see if we can do it less expensively *since its sooo annoying to some people”? Where is the line for you currently?
Very good question.

From what I keep seeing in here, you are free to criticise certain topics but some of them which are about Linux (Desktop), Rust or Tesla, you will see that you're going to be met with a storm of downvotes and a fury of aggressive defenders or fans on a crusade to defend their companies or projects to the death.

HN is still a cess-pool. Mention anything about supporting cryptocurrencies (coins not tokens) and you will see for yourself the beating up on anyone who 'defends' a certain few of these projects, even the ones that do work or have a use case and the vengeance that they will bring to stamp out and punish anyone who doesn't agree with the herd.
Hi there, one of the maintainers here. Thanks for sharing & AMA!
These projects are also big in length and width. So just volume and area is considerable compared to buildings.
One would be IP address assignment proliferation due to containers and shared services. SNI only goes part of the way to reducing the demand, being limited because it can't cross administrative trust boundaries. For v4 this is an ongoing exhaustion issue, but even for v6 it's an ops and allocation problem.

Imagine if, for example, public clouds didn't need to burn a separate address for every dynamically provisioned load balancer.
20% goes into R&D,
30% goes into Marketing,
25% goes operating costs,
25% is profit.

Since a lot of Pharma research is done at universities and is funded by the public, this holds true especially for insulin, maybe by cutting the costs of meds the companies optimise their system more.

Less marketing, no Pharma people bribing doctors to use their meds etc. I bet if you cut those unnecessary jobs and expenses before touching R&D or Profit a lot can be done.
Yesterday I fired up the latest release of netscape navigator, and I could search for things on google just fine, using the HTTP protocol, but couldn't read any of the f...king results because idiot webservers don't support HTTP anymore..
I viewed this more as a quirk of American IB titles rather title inflation. The path has always been Analyst > Associate > VP, and you can make VP in under 5 years.

"But these buildings have an even lesser-known sibling in the world of condominiums, known as leasehold condos. In this scenario, condo owners get an actual deed and therefore own their property, even though the building is technically under lease to a larger ownership entity, to which it pays rent."

I fully agree. I’d even go one step further: don’t spend that 100 billion on physics at all. That’s taxpayer money that actually can be spent on feeding the hungry. That’s the humane thing to do, and I bet a much better investment in science too, since those hungry will have a chance to become scientists.

PS. I have a masters in engineering physics and several friends who are physicists. I’m also a science nerd. But I still think this is the right thing to do.
The LHC's development produced a number of new technologies (e.g. radiation resistant microcontrollers, and gas electron multipliers). Could the next generation produce more, valuable tech?

I also don't have the expertise to tell whether the article is being overly reductive with the project's goals: are there other questions (besides new particles) that can only be answered with a larger collider? The summary of the FCC (Future Circular Collider) project's goals indicates that yes, there are unresolved questions that the FCC will address[0].

When I did PHP for a job I was happy to get home and code in a proper language. When I got my dream job in my favourite language I too lost motivation for bigger projects.

I have no solution. Somehow one side project still made it big enough, made me money and now I basically live from side projects.

I asked myself what I enjoy more. And not what makes me the most stable income.

No. Pharmaceutical revenue in europe alone can cover all r&d spending.
On the other hand, my grandma could barely use a DVD player, and definitely didn't want to learn to set one up. But when the industry bullied her into getting DVDs by making VHS too flimsy to last more than 10 years and then ditching it... she got us in to fix her problem.

"Grandma" doesn't mean "grandma" in these discussions, it's a placeholder for "people not driven to learn the details of all of their tools". Which is most people. Some people do "people" or "animals" or "geology" and not "technology". Your grandma sounds ace, btw.
One of the huge advantages of Maud is that it keeps code and markup close together, so you can do things like having rust control structures determine what markup is used later on (for snippets or widgets, for example).

Plus, Maud has a definitive speed advantage from what I've noticed.

Sadly, there isn't any great alternative for making performant HTML templates in Rust from what I've seen, a lot of the other HTML templating libs aren't that great comparatively.

It is possible to recover from burnout without switching jobs, but it can be difficult. If you have burned out at your current job, it is important to take some time to recover. This may mean taking a break from work, reducing your workload, or making some changes to your work schedule. Once you have recovered, you may find it easier to stay at your current job or to switch to a new job.

Furthermore, if you feel like you are in a rut, it may be helpful to switch projects or roles within your company. This can give you a fresh start and help you to find new motivation. If you do switch jobs, it is important to make sure that you are not simply running from your problems. Make sure that you take the time to assess your situation and that you are making a decision that is best for you.

In conclusion, recovering from burnout and finding motivation can be difficult, but it is possible to do without switching jobs. If you feel like you need a change, consider switching projects or roles within your company.
Oh great, another source of "nice looking" .eu.org domains to be used by spammers and for phishing. I bet there will be many naive users (to put it lighlty) that will fall for a scam originating or using such domains :-(
I’m not sure what exactly did you find that impressive, the whole thing was very “incremental update”-y to me. Several features probably spent more time under marketing than under development.
Maclisp back then, I suppose?
Story please!
My business is not located in the US so the names of my banks will hardly say anything to you, but yes, I've been audited and always provided necessary information in stable open formats like PDF.

If I would ever be asked to provide some report in a proprietary format like MSOffice (I know it is pretending to be open, but this OOXML is nothing more but a mockery and corruption of an open standardization process), I'll ask to buy me licences for the necessary software to compile such report, including a licence for the operating system to run the OS-specific software on.
Your analogy is fundamentally flawed.

More realistically : we can only build one car in the entire world, where a tiny minority of people can even understand the potential benefit, and anything they see will be completely useless for everyone else in day to day life because we need a civilisation level effort to even detect the implications of their theory. If their theory had some real world implications - you wouldn't need this car.

And this is expected to be funded by everyone. It's the modern equivalent of building pyramids.
> With any three things, you have harmony to humans.

In math, specifically dynamical systems, a lot of interesting stuff starts appearing after some variable goes up from 2 to 3, such as Period 3 Implies Chaos[1] for discrete maps, and the chaos in the 3 bodies problem. In continuous time systems, having 3 variable is the necessary condition for chaos to occur.
My personal guess and take away is that having 3 of something is the bare minimum for nontrivial interactions to happen.

Eh not really. There’s really not much of a difference.

For example would you consider .co.uk domains as subdomains
> Germany. All land belongs to the state

Maybe that's a technicality (at first glance it feels like an almost outlandish claim), but in the spirit of enquiry I'll put it like this: can you share a source for that?

FWIW I skimmed [0] and failed to come up with anything that comes close...

Yes I started using Keychain exclusively after the LastPass app got progressively shittier. No issues so far, and really no differences. Even tells you when something gets compromised.
There's a short story "Chronopolis" by J.G. Ballard, about a future where society was separated by watches with different colors, and each color had a different time slot for things like commute, lunches, and when they could go to the bank...

Yes, but their use isn't defined for HTTP, and browsers don't support using SRV records for resolution.
Not to mention the Saturn didn't even have an SDK for the early part of it's life so most of the good early releases were Sega owned studios who were already familiar with the hardware from arcade cabinets. Whereas the Playstation didn't have their own games developers so had to ship an SDK to get 3rd party developers on board (couple that with a few exclusivity deals/bribes) and it's not hard to see why games studios dropped the Saturn.

I see the same argument (secondary innovations) being made for war-time/military research. But I don't buy it there, and I don't buy it here.

Investing the same money in something that has a known and positive primary effect will produce the same amount of secondary benefits. So if you can think of something more fruitful to do with these 100B, do that; the secondary benefits will keep coming anyhow.
My understanding is that most (or at least many) very significant scientific discoveries were serendipitous. They were discovered while looking for something else. So statements like "When you don’t have much to go on, and limited resources, it’s better to aim at problems that you know are out there. Those things will lead you to new discoveries." don't make sense to me.

I'd find this article and its opinion more credible if it could point out how this didn't apply to the LHC. Was every discovery and technology that came out of the LHC predicted in advance? If not, then this argument fails.

i'll echo the others with my experience that i have no problems too. i do see this in m1 with high memory pressure though. docker is always suspect. also long-lingering web tabs.
The idea came from logic, and from people who study the environment, and from endless peer reviewed studies.

Had you spent a few moments looking into the issue, you too would have come to the same conclusion.

> You’ll be hard pressed to find a laptop that is built with more recycled material than a MacBook.

From reading their materials, all the aluminum and most of the tin in the laptop are recycled, and most of the packaging they send you the computer in, and that seems to be it.

Chips can't be recycled. Macs seem to contain very little recycled plastic. The circuit boards are definitely not recyclable.

Reduce; reuse; recycle in that order.
> The chaos of people being able to build whatever, wherever, is probably why Seoul and Tokyo both have remarkably reasonable rents relative to their size, prosperity, and national importance.

I think the premiss is not true. They cannot build whatever wherever. They have different zones, which determin, what kind of buildings are OK to be build in them. See for example this video: https://invidio.xamh.de/watch?v=wfm2xCKOCNk

But there does seem to be some increased flexibility.
I have a 2000 BMW 318ti beater car, the clear coat is peeling but mechanically fantastic. The crankshaft sensor was causing random misfires which I replaced. Otherwise all stock, it's fantastic and freeing. I can floor it and it doesn't go anywhere. upkeep is cheap, oil change when it asks me to. light compact car i've only done brakes once 6yrs ago and it looks new still... the only downside are the plastic parts which sometimes let water in. Those I'm replacing.
Ah, yes. I forgot the "detail" of land purchasing/compensations...
Until recently I rocked a T420 laptop as my daily driver. I upgraded to a 480s but only because I found it second hand for a price I can't ignore.

Other than my social circle I never was a gamer, I never felt pressure upgrading my hardware.

As a Linux user there was no real reason to either, my system got faster over the years with software updates not slower.

Same with my phone. I use it until it breaks apart which is at least 4-5 years.

As someone else said, this works because I buy quality items to begin with. Thinkpads <3
Visually and in perception, there's a huge difference.
It’s ergonomic if you set it up right. I have a stand that I attach my IPAD to and pull out my mini mouse and keyboard and don’t have neck pains. With a laptop, you have to crane your neck down to look at it. I see it as like a laptop with a detachable screen.

It’s also less invasive that way, you can get a laptop stand but it looks ridiculous in coffee shops.
Discrete maths is graph theorems, groups, galois fields, and so on.

There are several algorithms (in for example graphs and crypto) that you can not understand or implement without discrete maths. But even then, only the basic level is required.

Maybe only guy ever needs to know these things in a FAANG? (Meaning, could implementing these algorithms keep more than guy busy?)
That's a real GEM for learning Unix text processing utilities and pipelines. And it's obviously designed by Nokia - Bell Labs
One of Castro's favorite methods of redirecting criticism against Cuba was to explain that the US did as bad or worse.

I'm quite sure the US has done many worse things than Cuba. However that doesn't absolve criticisms of Cuba, especially some particularly egregious flaws that cast into doubt its 'democratic' process.
Is the ratio of cost of car to cost of persons walking correct.

It seems like the car is a Bugatti Veyron and like there is a huge (exponentially growing) fronteir to explore.
Exploring another 1000 miles in a very well studied direction seems less curious than pushing outward another mile over the entire frontier. Especially at the places that have gotten less attention.

'Doing more of the same but bigger' feels more like small thinking than 'lets try lots of things we haven't tried before'. To me the latter also feels a lot more curious.
It gets closer depending the country. In germany it's 1960€ for the M2 Air with 16GB/512GB, and 2250€ for the base 14" model. That's 13% difference compared to the 20% in the US and makes the M2 a lot less attractive.
I haven't tried either yet, I've just taken a look... But I'd say 'looks nice' downplays a pretty major difference. Heptabase appears to be in a completely different league of UI quality. UI quality is pretty central to the functionality of visual knowledge management. It's not a software category in which you can reasonably separate form and function into separate concerns.
Oh well, perhaps my super power is starling repellence :) But really, I'd love to see them, but I don't.
There are no technical barriers on Android manufacturers adding AirTag support to their phones. The whole system is open.

I am using a 2009 Apple MacMini as my home computer. Many years ago, I upgraded RAM from 1GB to 3GB. Of course, the original operating system Mac OS X is unusable and unsupported for a long time now. It took not long after the first end of life messages from Apple that I installed GNU/Linux on it and this runs the small machine very stable since then. I also enjoy improving the performance of this system by following KISS philosophy. That means I mostly run CLI/TUI applications, the most used GUI app is Firefox which I use for web browsing (when Links/lynx/w3m are not sufficient). And because of such a minimalist setup, this 13 year old MacMini not only feels but in fact is way faster than my 4 year old Windows 10 work laptop.

I hate that I have to replace that work laptop now with a more powerful machine just because Microsoft Defender is eating up too much resources permanently and Windows 11 installation is just around the corner. This exploitative way of acting by the industry is fatal for our environment and must change if we want to give future generations a chance. So thanks for this post - you have shown how it can be done differently and spread the word!

I'm not exactly sure how much my computer costs offhand, since it's been upgraded with RAM and an SSD, but it is probably still a bit under $1k, although likely a bit over if you count all the accessories.

I made the very highly questionable choice of getting into embedded systems with no degree or math talent, and while being clumsy enough I probably shouldn't drive.

.... so I have never made more than $30k a year, usually less, even when I've been in semi-leadership-ish roles designing $10k equipment.

A lot of the big companies that have a spare 100 grand laying around seem to want people who can do RF design and hand solder a BGA.

Low volume work for ultra small non-tech companies is a pretty different skillset.

There's nothing all that advanced, but the schedules are tight, things have to be repairable by people with very limited training, you're doing lots of unrelated work, there's legacy gear everywhere, arbitrary marketing related restrictions, and hardware costs matter.

Admittedly not a very big issue for most working professionals, but I would think it could be a bit of a problem for anyone in a non-tech industry trying to learn on their own.
Nothing, Racket is specifically designed for education and it will work for many applications. If you hit some wall (lack of libraries/performance issues), you'll be able to pick up common lisp quickly, and be more sympathetic towards its warts and anachronisms.
