> GNOME users are accustom to polish not being the priority of the developers.

Wasn't the whole spiel of Gnome 3 that it was all about "UIXP" and perfection on defaults, sacrificing power-user functionality if necessary? That's effectively all about interfaces that do very little, but do it very well - i.e. they are super-polished, if less featureful.

It is true, though, that a lot of people stopped using GNOME. In fact, despite Ubuntu and RedHat effectively pumping users into the ecosystem for years, most Linux folks I know use either KDE or boutique DEs.
Offshore solar also neutralizes one of solars biggest downsides which is that is uses far more space than traditional generators. Land will only continue to get more expensive so I suspect this will actually become a problem at some point, especially in high density countries.
I think that when you get offered pay to do a task, and accept that pay for that task, that you give up the right to bitch about said task.
That looks pretty nice too although the angle of it concerns me a bit. I use a standing desk so it looks like it might require me to bend my wrists backwards a bit more than the Orbit. I might give it a try though.
> cynicism are symptoms of burnout

I've possibly been mildly 'burned out' since the late 80s.

And... back in my day, all the smokers and ne'er-do-wells in high school were the 'burn outs'.
I was there and was very welcomed. Local computer clubs, BBSes, and more. It was way more welcoming than the internet now. The salty gatekeeping as I recall was against corporatised versions of the internet (AOL), but in the end that battle was lost.

People were welcoming, but much like a company that hires too fast, the culture was swamped by all the new people (who weren’t bad intentioned, but were definitely way more open to walled gardens and being consumers over creators.)

Tesla has been topping the list in terms of buyer satisfaction for many years now. They have their issues, but people love them.
Does this group actually do bad things though? Is there any actual evidence?

I don't think there is anything wrong with suggesting people you know to get hired. If anything the author of this blog post caused his own problems when he blew this up into a big deal and made a lot of accusations based on decades old unproven allegations.

Buying the wine from this group seems to be the only possible issue. If he had simply suggested that maybe they shouldn't be wine from this group and left it at that, there wouldn't have been any problem.
If you thought a stock was gonna go down in the short term and then back up, wouldn't it still be smart to sell and then buy back after it tanks?
You need experience though to bring batteries down to affordable prices - both for yield improvements and for actually figuring out stuff like "how to construct a BMS that keeps batteries somewhat alive?"... Tesla has had well over a decade to fine-tune their entire stack, the only one who can match them in experience is Toyota with the Prius lineup. The second-next is BMW, but the i8 is a niche model for rich show-offs and the i3 is a toy - and BMW hasn't been associated with "affordability" in many decades.

The car manufacturers that are associated with attributes like "affordability" don't have much experience with electric vehicles, so they will have to buy that experience or do it the same way Tesla did, which means they will need a decade.
Relatedly, never, ever do this. "Someone I know" works at a company who hired a guy to help manage their ad accounts, including Adwords. Between Google's account managers and Adword's helpful suggestions for optimizing campaigns, over the course of a month they managed to crater incoming ad traffic, and optimize for spending on cheap keywords that sent junk traffic. Clicking on one of those helpful auto-optimize suggestions can make hundreds of changes, and there's no good revision history to revert changes back.
I had a knee jerk reaction to this but taking the high road. I sincerely don't believe that the venn diagram of people with security clearance doesn't overlap at all with "those that use illegal drugs"

I would guess that there's a culture of delusion surrounding this wherein because "it's the rules" they are actually followed. You know because rules are rules. The world, especially those like the Elons of the world, don't care to follow them as diligently as perhaps a command and control military / public service style structure demands. I'd even be surprised if even in the federal government those with security clearance were completely sober and free of the drugs considered illegal under US law.

You know Elon is gonna do what he wants to do. For better (electric cars, reusable rockets) or for worse (open his twitter feed any day of the week).
Shot's fired!! Because that's exactly the one big point no one is willing to discuss.
Uk is a puppet of the USA. They are in no position to make any demands
Same for me, although personally I'd prefer a mouse over thumb-wheel.

I've been using various versions of the Kensington Expert line for the past 20 years. I am on #3 and #4 now (one for home, one for the office). Unfortunately there aren't many good alternatives in this form factor, the X-keys one is probably closest. I am happy with the Experts for the most part just wish there was more competition.
He took federal schedule I substances on a live YouTube stream. A third option is that the DoD doesn't actually care that much.

- "Musk has refiled his SF-86 security form, which requires a federal employee or contractor seeking a clearance to acknowledge any illegal drug use over the previous seven years, according to the official, who asked not to be identified. SpaceX has contracts to launch satellites for the U.S. military."

- "Musk’s “adjudication” review by the Defense Security Service continues with no decision yet, the U.S. official said. Typically during an adjudication, a person keeps his or her security clearance but loses access to information classified as secret, according to the official. If the drug use involves minor issues or doesn’t appear to contain any serious security concerns, the unit reviewing the case could just close it and update Musk’s record."
No i did not, also I always follow google's business listing guidelines.

(1): No support, some monad or early-error-return sugar used to be considered but effects cover most of the usecases of monads and are easier to use so I plan on emphasizing them. As for arrows, I have to say here that I've actually never used them in haskell so I don't know how useful they'd be.

(2): Thanks for the resource, I'll look it over :). I remember seeing a vaguely related note that multicore OCaml used to provide a `Obj.clone_continuation` function but no longer does. Of course, ante's algebraic effects design is rather different so that may not apply anyway. It may depend on the Generator whether it is cloneable or not. Some generators are just functions that can be arbitrarily cloned, but others are closures which may have restrictions in whether their environment is cloneable. Ante's clone story in general needs more work.

Fun philosophical and likely legal debate: do people and companies have an obligation to not do things - legal things - that are to the detriment of society or the planet as a whole?

And if so, how far can you take such a rule? I don't mean to invoke the 'slippery slope' excuse. I mean that we don't really have a legal framework around "Don't be bad". We just have specific laws around things you cannot do, and the rest is a free-for-all apparently.

One might argue- and I'm not certain that I even do- that it's the role of government to make laws to codify these things that cannot be done explicitly. Because should this come to a courtroom, big oil companies might say "Yes, we knew this would harm the planet. Yes, we did it anyway. What of it? There's no law against harming the planet as a whole."
Clarification for most jurisdictions in the US is that it is sufficient to announce that there is recording occurring. They do not necessarily need to orally consent. Continuing the conversation after they have been clearly notified that the call will be recorded is generally sufficient. This is why telemarketing calls inform you that the call will be recorded. Don't want to be recorded? Hang up.
I definitely agree that it's strange that Nautilus can do this and the file picker can't. I also agree that consistency is important, but this issue has never caused me problems so I don't think anything of it. There are other things in Gnome that are keeping me from using it after being a vocal supporter for decades.
I'm on an M1 Air (cheapest base model), and I use it largely for writing (also dev but I get that that's not your question).

- For native M1 apps like Pages, Sublime, or Highland there's no lag at all. For example, with Highland 2 from double-clicking a file to editing it is less than a second and there's no lag during use even with a 49,000 word book manuscript open.

- For x86 apps like the not-quite-latest Office there's a couple of seconds at first launch (for that session) whilst Rosetta does its x86 translation work, but after that it launches without lag for the remainder of that session and it stays snappy in use (snappy for Word that is).

- Native VS Code goes from launch to editing in under two seconds and never lags, even with something like side-by-side Markdown preview going.

- If you're using Vellum for publishing it's about 1.5 seconds from double-clicking a file to editing it.
Something like i3 would work great on a monitor like that. Something like dwm maybe less so.
Field Theories of Consciousness
Right, clearances are highly individualized, and have very little to do with those lifestyle decisions. They can grant or revoke essentially at will.
> I'm very confused, for some reason I read about python generators way later than 2001 (2010?). Maybe they upgraded some syntax and it made me read about it.

After generators were introduced themselves, Generator expressions were added in 2.4, coroutine support with yield as an expression in 2.5, “yield from” to delegate to a subgenerator in 3.3.

So, yeah, that's plausible.
No party is going to solve the problems the US chooses to occupy itself with currently. They are too complex. The right move is to just pick simpler problems.

There is an upper limit to what level of complexity any group can handle.

But Americans have been told the upper limit doesn't exist so often and for so long that they are learning the hard way where the limit lies.

The government sues big oil. We vote for politicians to enact laws. If politicians are in the pockets of big oil or any industry, vote them out. The problem is not enough people care about lobbying. So the real problem is with other voters not caring enough.

Also, where would we be without big oil? There is a lot of interdependency and bootstrapping necessary to get renewables and industries to transition. China, the largest centralized government that can turn on a dime because they have the "power" to do so, also cannot just kill fossil fuels and there was no "lobbying' to keep fossil fuels going.

So it's more nuanced than, let's kill off fossil fuels anon!
I have no special love for big oil, but for a decade G7 governments have worked on limiting the production and transportation of oil (look at pipeline projects in Canada and USA for example). Each oil extraction operation requires tens of millions of dollars to start and run with a closing window of time to recoup the investment.

On the other side, we have people yelling foul due to "record profits" I mean, yeah, nominally they are higher but they are not outpacing the inflation.

Also, it's easy to forget that when you pay $2.30 cents per liter here in Canada, literally 50% of that is various government taxes (provincial and federal) so when the state basically controls extraction, transportation and to a large extent pricing at the gas station - it's a little bit too convenient to blame the oil companies.
Was going to say the same thing, goodbye "town square".
I'm actually also talking about the second.

> avoid having the CPU do useless work all the time

It's not worth an engineer spending 1h a year even investigating this, if it's less than 20 CPU cores doing useless work.

The break even for putting someone full time on this is if you can expect them to save about fourty thousand CPU cores.

YMMV. Maybe you're a bank who has to have everything under physical control, and you are out of DC floor space, power budget, or physical machines.

There are other cases too. Maybe something is inherently serial, and the freshness of a pipeline's output has business value. (e.g. weather predictions for tomorrow are useless the day after tomorrow)

But if you're saying that this second way of optimizing is that things should be fast for its own sake, then you are not adding maximum value to the business, or the mission.

Performance is an instrumental goal of an effort. It's not the ultimate goal, and should not be confused for it.
Hah! Nobody sane is doing that at every stop. For one thing, it shreds your tires.

But for the ones who are doing it repeatedly (at the track), the answer is: very effective battery cooling! Tesla's software in their performance models actually offers a special "track mode" which, amongst other things, applies max cooling.
The original verge article I saw on this implied that the author (of the article) was in direct contact with at least a few of the letter’s authors.
HN users seem to have a habit of posting crap science wrapped up in impressive sounding news stories, and it's kind of annoying. This is meant to be a group of intelligent people who should have the ability to click on the link to the article and look at the actual results.
This is not true. Enron was famous (notorious) for leveraging the, then, capacity of long distance interconnects to move power from far off generation capacity to advantageously priced markets. Just take a look at the sheer size of CalISO, MISO, and ERCOT. You could build solar anywhere and wheel it to where it’s needed. That’s not the long pole in the tent (right now).
Programmable, or parametrizable?

In any test flight there are plenty of parameters set for the flight. Are aerodynamic computers programmable?

But in any case, the mere existence of "quantum supremacy" research is a clear indication these are pointless contraptions.
They're fine if you don't mind an outdated chipset and paying multiple times the cost in hardware value. SD835 was released in 2016 and the 10nm samsung process is nowhere as efficient as equivalent TSMC arch nor current chips (say, SD870 or even the exynos latest gen chips)

My point is whether or not they have a legal case, not if their letter is true or false.
I would wager good money that in many cases these "I was left wing, but the insane Left pushed me to the GOP!" posters were never, in fact, left wing and are instead trying to spread a particular message. See also the "walk away" hashtag that was pushed in the lead up to 2020.

> It seems that lexicon is handy to use dns-01 instead of DNS aliasing.

Say I own example.com, but because it lives on a DNS server that does not have an API, or changes to the company's domain need to go through change control, I cannot easily change it.

But I want an ACME/LE cert for foo.example.com, which could be an internal-only service so http-01 is not available.

So I can set up a CNAME/alias at _acme-challenge.foo.example.com and point it to (e.g.) foo.example.org. Now I also own example.org, but because it's not the 'main' domain the controls on it are less onerous.

So when I request "foo.example.com", it finds the CNAME and heads over to "foo.example.org", where I've update the ACME nonce dynamically. The CNAME setup is a one-time thing, and can go through the 'regular' steps initially, and can then just be left alone.

Or, instead of a entire new domain (example.org), I can delegate things to a sub-domain (dnsauth.example.com) as well.
There are many large arid, desert-like land available in almost every part of the world which can be put to use for Solar. I don't think cost of land is a huge issue.

And Teslas are pretty crappy cars from a quality of workmanship perspective.

After testing several different cars in a lab, I got the sense that the people at Tesla know a lot about how to integrate technologies, but only possess the bare minimum viable knowledge base about how to build a car. Whereas the people at Toyota know an insanely ridiculously huge amount about how to build a car, but are risk averse with integrating technologies.

I will say that was a purely technical analysis however. It didn't include things like how marketing might effect perception for instance.
Ask HN: Managing people smarter than you
I lead a software dev team at a small startup. One of my direct reports is way smarter than me. They come up with clever, simple solutions to business needs. They're also really driven, and will do things like find out what our stakeholders need and create the specs and do planning for those things. Generally we are a team and communicate pretty well on those things, but most of the time I'm left feeling like I'm not adding much value. Usually, they're the one rejecting ideas and having better ones.

That said, they tend to get overwhelmed easily (a bit of overthinking at times), and I'm much more comfortable communicating with leadership/presenting ideas to the company, etc. So I wouldn't recommend they step into management just yet.

Really what I want is to continue leading the team as best I can, and not let my ego interfere. But I guess I'm wondering how to best manage this person. Do I just sit back and let them do their thing? Try harder to meet them at their level and challenge them? How would you all like to be managed if you were in their position?

ah thank you.
Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

I looked into this, and yes, there are some services that can do analytics without the cookie. E.g https://usefathom.com. However, the vast majority use cookies and the ones that don't often have a much higher cost.

Ultimately, some of these alternatives that avoid the cookie law are simply finding tech work arounds. I have no doubt in my mind that the gov would find a way to require popups for those services if they were more prevalent.
