I loathe organizations that do this, Google being most prominent. Do not force any new steps into a login process without first informing the user!

Related: banking apps on mobile that log you out after some number of days. They don't tell you at ligingow many days your session is still valid. Just one day, "oh, give me your password".

Fortunately I'm savvy enough to have my password safe with my at all times. A less techy user might be on vacation and suddenly get kicked out of critical tools.
Better today that they were in Precolonial South-America and better that they were in Europe at the time.
Maybe check out some Tilde servers? https://tildeverse.org/

Some of them run their own NNTP servers as well.
Out of curiosity - which queueing service(s) do you use?
Ah should probably make this clearer in the README, it then serves this through an http server.

It keeps running your render method and dynamically updates your client.

The first example documents this a bit better:

Communication is collaborative. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes someone might say "Hey, this would have helped me understand you better" without losing your mind over it, I feel sorry for anyone else you converse or collaborate with.

Shame on anyone who doesn't memorize comments from years ago. Or people with English as a 2nd+ language and may not glean the intricacies of written English that you think are so obvious.

Some sites rely on icon fonts for buttons, and they appear as Unicode placeholders instead. I don't mind, and consider it a time-saving benefit which reduces my effort spent on low-quality websites.
I got a 17" Windows laptop at one point for games to replace various old semi-functional Windows DIYs I had lying around. I never really used it a lot but I wouldn't have wanted to carry it around with me in any case.

Apple just announced that computers they were selling in 2019 will not be supported for their next macos update...
Another option (better IMO) is "Busuu". It's free and very similar to Duolingo. It has some gamification with streaks but it is way less pushy, plus has a community aspect built in that I really like.

It did a way better job teaching me cyrillic/Russian than Duolingo had up to that point.
How about a VPS? Are providers capable of scanning your VM's memory?
I'd say "all GUIs" are web software now. Outside of that there's still plenty of traditional development.
As a Tesla owner I actually wish that our gov would force Tesla to support CCS, like in the EU.

The standards already exist.

It can be on top of the Tesla connector, but should be required. That will open up a whole bunch of Tesla people to be able to fast charge with other providers.
OneDrive is just not as simple as DropBox. Dropbox you know what you get, an online file system that syncs to your computer. OneDrive always asks to backup local files when that’s not what I want it for and doesn’t have an intuitive interface that just works. It’s too integrated with other Microsoft products.
They 100% can get a job and a decent one. I know because I fall into this category BUT the FANG salary are 2 to 2.5 times what I make at this point which pushes me down the study leetcode part.

Does anyone else get the feeling that we (as a field) are missing something basic about concurrency? Like there's a really elegant solution just around the corner, that has the low overhead of async/await without the complexity. Or otherwise put, the ease of goroutines but without GC.

I know it sounds crazy. I recently dove into the area, and was pretty surprised at how many interesting building blocks there are out there. It feels like if we just combine them in the right way, we'll discover something that works a lot better.

Off the top of my head:

Google discovered a way to switch between OS threads without the syscall overhead. All it needs is to solve the memory overhead. [0]

Zig discovered a way to use monomorphization to enable colorless async/await. If someone could figure out how to make it work through polymorphism / virtual dispatch, that would be amazing. [1]

Vale discovered a possible way to make structured concurrency in a memory safe way that's easier than existing methods. [2]

Go [3] and Loom [4] show us that we can move stacks around. Loom is particularly interesting as it shows we can move the stack to its original location, a unique mechanism that could solve some other approaches' problems with pointer invalidation.

Cone is designing a unique blend of actors and async await, to enable simpler architectures. [5]

We're close to solving the problem, I can feel it.

[0] No public docs on it, but TL;DR: we tell the OS the thread is blocked, and manually switch over to it by saving/manipulating registers.

Not everything has to be useful. Many years of “useless” hacking has given me a lot of experience and a great career.
How many spammers invest months / years to upload and modify content to fake legitimate user accounts?
I thought the game was much better without NPCs- it was creepy and sad with unexpected outbreaks of violence. I still love it, though- I play maybe once a week with my brother and we just wander the map looking at messed up stuff, collecting junk and hunting for cryptids. I think we were exactly the audience the game was intended for- but unfortunately that is not the audience the gamer press caters to. Those people are still on /r/fo76 simultaneously bragging about grinding out 50 levels over a weekend and complaining that there's not enough end game content.

> Big companies want people who are smart enough to do the work, but obedient enough to put up with all the bullshit that comes with working at a big company. What person better matches that than someone who's able and willing to study for and pass a tech version of the SAT?

Leetcode rather measures whether you are into brutal cramming. Let's put it this way: the kind of people that fits this property is in my opinion often "a little bit special", i.e. not the kind of employee that in my experience both startups and big companies prefer.
If one truly believes in "law and order" then they should hold officers of the law to the same standards.
There's a neat crate for that I recently found: https://crates.io/crates/pollster
Definitely post back here on results if you can, curious how this turns out for you. Also curious what smart thermostat you favor.
Unfortunately, a lot of big orgs build up process as organisational "scar tissue" after someone has eff-ed something up. It is also used as a way to compensate for hiring cheaper/lower quality people.

I work at environment with a lot of peocess. There are a few approaches you can take:

1. Try and get some consensus of support from your peers and/or managers for improvements to make the processes less onerous

2. Do all you can to foster good relationships with the people in the various processes. You would be surprised how much things can be expedited if you're on good terms with the gatekeepers.

I understand you made your point in good faith and I appreciate that you made me think about the difference between GP "lie" and "creating awareness".

Nevertheless, I believe that giving the awareness part a free pass, can be a slippery slope. I didn't want to think about plumbing or the Proposition 4 or plastic surgery. So unless I search for either of those two I feel it's an intrusion to force those thoughts on me.
This "async virality" syndrome is the main reason why async is harmful imho. _Some_ async can be very useful in certain constrained circumstances, I believe. However forcing the async execution model on all code is a terrible idea.
My exact same experience. As to what it cost, in the old world paradigm I'd say "nothing, we already bought the game", but I guess these days there's probably a decent argument for a cohort of people who are too impatient to wait to get into the game and who pay extravagant sums of real-world money to get in-game items immediately.
Neither would I. Though every now and then I wouldn't dislike to be bound to rules that I can evaluate in advance, without having to bet on what a judge's a posteriori interpretation will be.
Do you know more about how this works? I know it's not just a coupon scheme or search engine and I'd like to know how it works under the covers.
It looks like this submission is getting flagged a lot... On the front page, there's a submission with 14 points submitted two hours ago and this one is already on the second page with 33 points submitted one hour ago. They both had one comment.
Why jester instead of prologue? Jester had some issues in my experience running things like background jobs on Windows.
Thanks for your work.

Has there been any study as to how closely Privacy Badger converges to list-based blockers like uBlock Origin given enough time? Is that at all a metric you use in development?
Part of this may be deciding which countries/retailers to send to, as Best Buy in the US has those in stock for pickup today, but the Apple store is listing August. Interestingly customizing it pushes it from Aug 16 to Aug 23.
Aion, by Carl Jung.
Not yet, I plan to add support for this ~soonish because it will be harder to add later on.

It’s very much early days though. I didn’t want to go near accessibility until I had standardised the rendering model somewhat.

It also waits to be seen if anyone actually wants to use this besides me.
I haven't had issues like that, but usually it's Xcode doing the "use all cores" thing so I suspect they're properly assigning QoS.

I did find that if I switch power on my desk fan _and_ my USB-C hub is plugged in there's a ~10% chance of a kernel-panic and reboot.
Absolutely agreed. How can the law be fairly enforced if those who enforce it are above it?
Love that story.

His short stories were fantastic, I read the complete collection again during the first lockdown (and Rendevous with Rama got me through my bout of covid). 9 Billion Names of God is great.

I found it funny how he could predict so much about the future, except for many aspects of social change. That's not unique to him, many authors have struggled with that. I loved the image of an observatory on the far side of the moon which had a typing pool full of (obviously female) secretaries, it felt simultaneously futuristric and retro.
Same here. I use it for anti-tracking, and uBlock Origin for primary ads, and PiHole for anything that slips through those two.

Ads are a plague. They waste screen space, they're often virus-laden traps, they look ugly and ruin the look of a good website, they're often scams, etc.

I pay for the the internet service that sends the ads to me, the screen the ads show up on, the computer that requests the ads and the electricity that powers the computer.

I am not paying for all that just to get ads shoved in my face. If they want donations or a subscription, fine. Understandable. But no ads.
In my experience, coding tests for fresh graduates is a pretty terrible metric for how well that person would perform as a member of a software development team for business applications.

Data/science/research is a different story with a different skillset.
TL;DR rising labor costs and regulation
I understand this but there’s a huge gulf of nuance between expecting hand holding and keeping your head down while bad management expects great work output and results despite problems of their individual failures either.
So ... you're preprocessing the filesystem's contents into another file and/or keeping it in memory

>Didgets uses the same key-value stores for attaching metadata tags to each file as we use to create columns in relational database tables. Finding files with certain tags is extremely fast as is just finding files of a certain type (e.g. documents or photos).

Just like I said

You are not exceeding the performance of the filesystem, you're hiding the filesystem behind your preprocessed abstraction

Like locate does on *nix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locate_(Unix))
Totally unrelated question but does anyone know if nuclear powered US Navy vessels are able to feed power to the grid while in port? I know it's technically possible, just not sure if anyone has ever implemented such a thing.
Google Drive.
Syncthing is epic!
In Chrome, uBlock origin can block webfonts.
We live in a different technological setting than we did in the past, and all sorts of skilled labor that was economical in the past is no longer economical. As parts of the economy become more productive, labor costs rise, and the less productive parts of the economy become more expensive in comparison.

We see this cost disease in all sorts of large construction projects, not just nuclear. Though nuclear seems to be particularly bad. And that's why we need breakthrough in productivity. Personally I think that such a construction productivity breakthrough would have its greatest impact on decarbonization through cheaper subway construction, high speed rail construction, and through increased urban density with cheaper big buildings. These type of construction projects have few realistic alternatives, whereas renewables plus storage are already a great way to power an energy system.

So if we can fix companies like Bechtel, we will see lots of improvement throughout our society far beyond nuclear construction.
If I would normally see Yankees games on the YES network and I watch a Yankees game on the MLB app, MLB should send a portion of my subscription money to YES.
My first acoustic guitar (2007) was a Yamaha, FG800 I think. $200. Had absolutely no problems with it, but I gave it to my brother and then purchased a PRS SE Angelus A10E that was about $600. To be honest, there was no difference at all in quality or tone. I really only got it for the electric pickups & aesthetic (who doesn't love those bird inlays?!).
Thank you for posting this, I'm always keeping an eye out for self-hosted replacements for the "home convenience but with cloud-based strings attached"...
Could be one of those needles.
Weird. When I first used both of those years ago I had issues, but it's been multiple years since I've had a site actually break because of either.
Also a Tesla Model 3 has a really good power to performance efficiency, but somehow people still like buying luxury and powerful cars.

It's just a metric, but the whole package is still not that awesome (software compatibility above all, but also limited amount of ports, the typical Apple walled garden, etc.)
What should I do with my old iPhones then?
Let it go. I've been watching people compare apples (ha, ha) to oranges so they can declare Apple products a rip-off for over a decade now.
Technology is iterative. Just like start-ups take years to become profitable, it might take years for a new car manufacturer to become on-par with the competition. Raising the floor impedes new competition. Regulatory capture is popular among american oligopolies
There's something about good, thoughtful sci-fi that really suits the short-story or novella form.
The most salient point was a hierarchy of discourse. I was working for a project management software company, at the time. So, it fit well within the mindset of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or Bill of Materials (BOM). Usually activities were organized around WBS and BOM with resource leveling of resources (people) and materials. So, Augment filled in the documentation side for highly structured projects.

Am still working with core concepts: using a namespace hierarchy (akin to a WBS) and a directed graph (akin to activities). Except now, the activities are code.
Around the same time there were projects to put Nintendo (game boy?) games on ipods as well.

One problem with companies buying pizza is they always buy it from whatever pizza shop has the best reputation for reliably filling large catering orders, which is never the pizza shop that makes the best pizza.

I like pizza, but I only want pizza some of the time. And when I want it, I want to buy it myself and get what I want, not get something mediocre.

It's great for keeping status quo, anything is great if it's already there. Community and tooling is the result of that, things that exist for a while. But if we want to move forward, advancing tech, TS is just ok-ish (at some point it's not though)
Reddit is in theory the same.. but it also is loaded with spam, in the form of ads paid to reddit. This is worse.

Compare: FPGA group on USENET, very little spam: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.arch.fpga

Reddit, full page animated old-spice ads: https://www.reddit.com/r/FPGA/

Also as much as you dislike google groups, just compare the UI of the above two.. ugh.. of course there is old reddit:

Isn't it a shame that OS people have started making scroll bars so hard to see that someone is having to implement a less functional equivalent on-page.
Same. Asking around why players tolerate it, the anecdotal conclusion I’ve got is that what makes these frequent and extremely slow loads tolerable is playing with friends on audio chat.
The Supreme Court did not invent an immunity, the simply chose not to invent a cause of action that the plaintiffs would have liked to use. Congress is free to pass legislation creating a cause of action, as they are the democratically elected representatives of the people. And such legislation would be effective, because - again - the Supreme Court did not give immunity.

This article is the equivalent of saying someone donated next-gen bulletproof armor to the Russians when they simply chose not to go and shoot at them.

(It's probably safe to say that any Vox, Fox News, or other partisan hack post about the law is inappropriate for HN.)
I started out my career writing a small business application that was sideloaded on 20+ devices. There were many bugs, as this was my first professional project. I was literally figuring out how APIs work and how to move data between the android app and the server. Many poor decisions were made.

Every update was extremely painful as users were not technical, so often I would have to collect the devices and perform the updates myself. It was a mess.

Then, I decided to use the web instead. I was more experienced in it and bugs were much easier to handle. Every device on the local network could access it, no need for installs. You do miss out on some built-in features but for me it was a good sacrifice.
In some cases USB thumb drives, Blu-Ray burners, etc.

I've seen people use Dropbox to share files in the same office and physical media is fine with that. It is faster for me to make a Blu-Ray and send it to you by FedEx then upload a 30GB machine learning model over my DSL line.
I've purchased this robot and installed this firmware on it. It definitely took about an hour and it was a little tedious with having the push the wires into the tiny pins (I had my orientation wrong for the pinout).

That said, once it worked, it's been working well since then! My only note is that you do need to make sure to keep the sensors clean or the map can "drift" and it'll stop understanding where it is. For me, to fix that, I had to reset the map before it would work reliably again.
The requirements aren't for what can run Windows 11, but what they will support. I think it also allows them to drop solutions for spectre/meltdown vulnerabilities which had big performance impacts.
Calibre, for me - And then choice books to read. Finished quite a few in the last 6 months, topics ranging from Linux internals, to philosophy, to financial management, to health...

I choose to invest my electronic time in learning more skills or relationships in why something seems to be the way it is.

Recent kick has been practicing the Roman Trivium, then I will tackle the Quadrivium.

And I use an Amazon Fire that my wife bought for me, permanently in airplane mode, as well as night-time (easier on the eyes). I transfer content via USB.

YMMV.
And even after they go out of official support there are people who figure out how to run the latest or at least later software on them, depending on what you use them for.

And of course, with the Intel ones you could install Linux or even Windows.
Does alt.sex.robots fit into tech or non-tech?
Tesla has a CCS1 adapter they’ll be shipping, it’s not GA because supply chain issues would prevent them from retrofitting existing vehicles without CCS1 comms support via chipset to support it. We purchased one from South Korea and it charges our 2021 Y at CCS Volta and Electrify America stations without issue (although the UX is not great compared to Supercharging imo).

You can check if your vehicle supports the adapter using the following steps:

On the touchscreen:

Tap the car icon at the bottom left, then Software, then tap “Additional vehicle information”

Whether your car is CCS adapter capable or not should show up.
Super cool. My next vacuum robot will be one that works best with this system.

The predecessors to leetcode questions were being asked, for example, in PhD defense dissertations as well as some that were highly specific to the company in questions (sort 2MB of data 1MB RAM). Many of the problems are basically late-undergrad, early-graduate CS student problems.
+1 to this. Getting a reMarkable has improved my “Actually read interesting papers” metric by infinite%. I went from bookmark and forget to reading at least 1 paper per week on average.

Turns out published academic papers, even the bad ones, are infinitely better than even the most insightful twitter threads.

Years ago I replaced podcasts with audiobooks for long runs. Podcasts started feeling too short. That’s been a huge improvement as well.

This week I stopped listening to podcasts on my way to the gym. That’s 20 minutes of thinking time per day. Fantastic so far. I feel a lot more relaxed.

You mention the filter effect: I think what really killed Usenet, at least for me, was spam, much of which was automated, with no great mechanism in place to combat it.
Why isn't it invalidated by prior art? How does it work anyway?
Shame it isn't available for any Botvac models. Their software is atrocious.
True in a quite limited way: you have to ignore servers, embedded, mobile, games and probably more I didn't think of here.
agreed. Static site generators also significantly lower your attack surface when it comes to security.
