Well, if you're at a startup which hasn't gone public yet, then really it depends on what the strike price is, what the fair market value is, what your confidence in the startup is, what funding rounds are expected, what your tax situation is, etc. I think the relationship between these variable is more important than just recession vs not-recession. Also, if they're cheap and you believe in the startup, just buy them.
I agree with you parent.

Also, I was surprised one common hack I used to see talked about a lot not dicussed given they delved into changes you can make on the CLI: you can change the default location (Eg to a "Screenshots" folder) instead of the default of cluttering the desktop

In terminal type "defaults write com.apple.screencapture location" where "location" is a path of your choosing.

(I'm fond of nesting a "screenshots" folder in the user directory pictures folder.)
I recently read a science fiction short story on reddit, where humans had developed faster-than-light communication because they needed to reduce lag in networked games.
Is this about public profile visibility (i.e. visible on the public internet) or visibility to recruiters using triplebyte for hiring?
Is it possible to easily configure Postgres/Citus such that you can replicate your database across a managed offering such that if your database load is sufficiently high then you start using the managed offering, otherwise you use your managed offering?

Being able to combine the cheap compute of something like Hetzner with the high availability of a managed offering would be nice.
It's possible we may look back with some regrets, but I seriously doubt that plastics will be thought to cause anything close to the same or greater harm caused by lead. We'd know it by now if that were true.
Perhaps keys are valid for 24 hours. So if internet goes down, as long as you were validated sometime within the past 24 hours, you can enter. This also means that it takes 24 hours for ownership to change, which should be fine when selling a house. This also gives the city 24 hours to deploy countermeasures (like starlink receivers) in case the internet outage is expected to last longer
Yeah, my idea is similar to Kafka messaging but on a much bigger scale.
Every application/device can publish messages to a "message source" that can be subscribed to by anyone on the internet. Everyone can see the headers of the message and its tags; however, without the private key, they can't read the message's contents. In other words, it's pub/sub on internet scale; is distributed similar to how internet traffic is distributed. If I had to give it a name, I guess I would call it "Galactic Pub/Sub". :)

I think we're leaning towards the outside-browser runtime here, that is to use webassembly _everywhere_, is it? does chromium's runtime run out side of chromium, e.g. wasm my.wasm?
Perhaps the solution is more on the bioengineering side of things: make smaller people so they can fit in smaller rooms.

I'm not taking away any options from you, you're welcome to use whatever tools work for you. You shouldn't take it as a personal attack when someone suggests that one of your tools could use improvement, and by reaching consensus that Wayland needs more features and hardware support we can send a message to the community that work is far from done.

Linux display servers need a lot of work. HDR content is right around the corner, and nobody in the Linux video stack is prepared. Wayland spends too much time twiddling their thumbs and making life hard on the rest of the Linux community, and Xorg's maintainers are gone. If you're going to use Linux, then by all means, use what works for you. That's the benefit of modular OSes! But we still need to push for more active development in this space. If Xorg is dead, then a lot of work needs to be done on Wayland to get them up to speed. If Xorg is not dead, then we need to find someone to fix it's longstanding issues.

> It's a bit like complaining about factory conditions in China.

Not really. It's more like complaining about a missing feature, say, thumbnails in the filepicker. At first it seems like such an egregious omission that it had to be a bug. But then people defend it, saying "it's not that big of a deal!" When you try to get people to corroborate your claims, people label it as hate speech. When users contribute code, fixes, patches and solutions, you see them all get turned down.

The goals of commercial interests, Linux software developers and Linux desktop users have never been more at-odds. Without a clear path forwards, we can't expect anything to get done. I think it's okay to beat a drum about this stuff online, because it's completely germane on a subject like this.
One thing to consider is that the NHS is a centralised and socialised system (barring the NHS internal market, which is in the process of abolition), whereas the German system has mandatory but private insurance which would involve more administrative costs, not to mention money spent on marketing and the like, so the costs are not directly comparable, and in general Germany probably spends more of the money on non-medical services.
I ran into the same issue on Xfinity, why is it broken there? Some nonsense Comcast gets up to?
OTOH it's more difficult to learn German to fluency in German speaking places where it's very easy to have a career and social life in English.
I'm not advocating for Rust (not the OP), and I would say Rust is never a silver bullet any time. It might make sense in context for a given problem and team, but there's a lot to go into such a decision.

I'm saying that once you go beyond simple needs, you're going to want to orchestrate async in a fairly sophisticated fashion. That might be in a Node-style architecture, old-school Java with real threads (probably pooled), new-school Java (ie: project Loom), Go, etc.

"How often are folks writing server side code where they need to pass objects across thread boundaries"
- In the JVM land this is very common. Also true in many other environments as well (Erlang, Go, etc). The fact that it isn't true in your tooling of choice doesn't make it universal.

"Back end logic is usually straightforward. Each request uses a single thread"
- Again, both of those statements don't ring true to me. Yes, they do in some environments, but certainly not all. Especially the last statement hasn't been true in the stacks I use for over a decade now.

Keep in mind I was also talking about parallelism here, some folks want to do some compute in addition to gluing together API calls.

"Not having concurrency within a single process doesn’t mean someone is doing simple CRUD, unless you’ve mistaken Facebook.com, Twitter, and Amazon retail website to all be simple CRUD applications.".
- You're suggesting that none of those systems support orchestration of concurrent calls? Please explain in detail.

"Rust seems like a solution for your very specific use case" - It doesn't actually. Our problems are not system level issues (as I mentioned), and doing manual memory management is an overhead we'd gladly let a GC handle, same with the borrow checker. We don't use Rust, I didn't advocate using Rust. I was responding to your comment about backend code being single threaded and straightforward.

"Presenting Rust as silver bullet and ignoring its cost"
- Who did that exactly?
- And who said "<X> is the perfect solution"?

Your tendency to create strawman arguments is a bit much.

[Edited for elaboration on not using Rust, not proposing to use Rust]
Not really... I love to bash Google as much as anyone but a religious cult within a department within a massive corporation doesn't really mean much about the company as a whole. Especially when you could pretty clearly see the difference between cult's teachings and the public stances for women's rights and for same-sex marriages that many Google employees have taken.
Do you mean connectivity to a 3rd party like AWS? Or do you mean out of band management of your physical servers? If you mean connectivity to AWS from your datacenters you can in some cases get peering arrangements with them and dedicated links to your systems. I don't recall the cost of doing this. If you mean your customers ability to reach your services in the cloud it would be assumed that your systems are active-active N+1 in multiple regions of whatever cloud provider you choose. Some opt out of this due to cost.

Really interesting, so you get high and get bug protection, win-win! Sadly my cat has no reaction to any of these that I've tried: catnip, silver vine, and one other herb I'm forgetting (Japanese maybe?). Maybe he's secretly a kid from the nineties and took the DARE program too seriously...
Not arguable. Bills of Attainder refer to criminal laws and are specifically to stop government abuses of personal liberty. Corporations don’t have a guaranteed right to consistent laws, otherwise they wouldn’t spend so much on lobbying. The knife cuts both ways.

Those active countermeasures can be fitted to lighter armoured cars or self-propelled guns. At some point the costs of carrying 50 tonnes of passive armour outweigh the benefits.

This is an important distinction. Nobody is getting free chemo or radiation therapy, treatment for chronic illness or anything like. For example, diabetics are not going to get a supply of insulin from the ER, especially if they can't pay, and someone with cancer isn't going to get treatment, either. Plenty of people die in the US from the inability to afford the medical care they need to live.

If you're brought into the ER because of a heart attack or are bleeding profusely, your care won't be denied, but you will pay for it in some way later.
recently I've seen new laptops being shipped with 4GB. possibly with a slightly lighter (but not fully debloated) version of 10 (Home? Starter? Edu?)

I'm not sure if this is because Windows memory usage is a lot more efficient now, or if the newer processors' performances can cancel out the RAM capacity bottleneck, or if PC4-25600 + NVMe pagefiles are simply fast enough, or if manufacturers are spreading thinly during the chip shortage. but it's certainly an ongoing trend
My experience has been when they work together, it's because it's good for them and bad for us.

Putin did not expect it to be a fight at all. The most damning evidence of this is that those columns that were blitzing towards Kyiv early in the war had Rosgvardia units in them, the whole purpose of which is to suppress street protests etc - and they even packed their riot gear! This is the kind of thing you do if you expect the city to fall right away, and your sole problem then is simmering dissent.

Comparison to Germany in 1930s is fairly straightforward. Both Germany and Russia believed that they have suffered considerable humiliation in the last major conflict (cold war for Russia), lost "their" lands in the process, and were plunged into an economic black hole. In both, this triggered an embrace of irredentism and the overall ideology that can be summed up as "we'll be back, and then you'll be sorry". Both produced increasingly authoritarian regimes that, as they solidified their rule, started to look more and more at "their" lands among their neighbors. Both accused one of their neighbors of persecution of "their" ethnic minority, and justified the invasion and occupation of said neighbor on those grounds.

As for WW3 - no, I don't think it'll start over Kazakhstan. But if you wait long enough, it might start over, say, Latvia. The problem is that, with every country that the collective West allows Russia to overrun, NATO Article 5 is perceived as less of a real deal and more of a bluff. Basically, if US is unwilling to fight for Ukraine for the fear of escalating into nuclear, why would it fight for e.g. Latvia when the likelihood of that escalation would be even higher? Because Latvia is a NATO member? American isolationists will say that NATO isn't worth getting nuked over anymore so than Ukraine. So if you "draw the red line" there, you might find that line rather faded by the time Russia comes close to crossing it. They might cross it simply because they don't believe you have the guts to do anything about it by then.

Adding to the problem is the overly rosy picture of Ukraine successes in this war so far. Don't get me wrong - they are doing very well, exceeding all expectations by a large margin, and have plenty to show for it. But, at the end of the day, this is still a country of 50 million people with a $6 billion defense budget (2021) fighting against a country of 150 million with a $66 billion defense budget. Ukraine has had several mobilization waves since the beginning of the war, while Russia is still relying mostly on contractors and PMC. Ukrainian industry - which is largely in the east - is already devastated, while Russian manufacturing capacity is still fully intact, limited only by sanctions. If Russia were to truly switch to war footing to the same degree that Ukraine already did, Ukrainians won't be able to hold the line - not because they're bad at it, but because Russia can afford to overwhelm them with bodies and munitions. So you can't just assume that if we sit and wait long enough, the Russian advance will stall indefinitely, and that'll solve the problem long-term because all forces will remain tied in Ukraine.

30 seconds is too long for a shot. You lose the audience after 15 seconds, especially if it's just a talking head. Imagine you're standing in front of me as I tell you all this - you're not looking right at my face, looking me right in the eye for the 15 seconds or so it took to get to this point. You're looking away. You look over my shoulder at the thing behind me, you look at the editing equipment on the table, maybe look at what's on my screen. We're up around 25 seconds now, and your gaze has shifted at least half a dozen times.

In video editing you mimic this by cutting away to other angles, or to illustrative shots. Right around the end of the first sentence I cut to a longer "two-shot" showing us talking. At "to get to this point" I cut to a head-and-shoulders shot of you nodding in agreement (a "noddy shot", done after my piece to camera, getting you to look at the right height to match my eyeline). On "you're looking away" I cut back to me, and then a shot of my PC on the bench with some editing software open (bonus points for having it showing an earlier shot from this). On "and your gaze", it's back to me.

What you were actually looking at was cutting back and forth wildly, showing you something different every five to ten seconds, but somehow you didn't even see it move.
While I would certainly welcome awareness when it comes to performance it's not always useful to make something 1000x faster if it takes even as little as 25% longer to develop. Taking an extra day to make something take 1s instead of an hour is just not always worth it.

Though I will never understand webpages that use more code than you'd reasonably need to implement a performant lisp compiler and build the webpage in that (not that I'm saying that's what they should have done, I just don't understand how they use more code)
Is the only way to mitigate this to jailbreak the device, edit the /etc/hosts to remap the DNS and point it at your own OCSP caching similar to what is done for airgaps and ICS/SCADA, or could you do this through 3rd party DNS apps, or an iOS VPN profile?
That's not right. The Lindy argument holds in that case as well, it's just a different version of the doomsday argument.

The basis for this kind of reasoning is essentially that, if you can assume that you are an 'average user' (and you don't have reason to believe you're especially late or early), the chance that your prediction about the longevity of the project is correct is most likely to be true if you 1/3 - 3x[1] the lifespan of the project currently.

That is because if say, you predicted VsCode existed a hundred times longer than it currently did, that prediction is only true if you are indeed among the first 1%. 99% of VsCode users making that prediction will be wrong.

The pesticide atrazine? Because it was atrazine that cause the frog deformities, not BPA. I'm not sure why we're talking about atrazine in an article about the different chemical, BPA. Since atrazine was invented in 1958 and gender dysphoria existed before then, I think your hypothesis is incorrect.
This is very true, you get more out of honing a small set of useful tools that continue to operate year after year, than you do chasing the next cool thing in UX.
I agree. But on the other hand, I expect you're using a good mouse, configured exactly to your preferences, on your favorite mousing surface, and you have opinions about all these things. Somebody using whatever mouse was cheapest directly on their desk is unlikely to become competitive with an expert keyboard user, who can get away with a cheap rubber dome keyboard.
Ethereum launch coordinator writes about why crypto keeps crashing
I'm contextually referring to those kids who have to learn "street-smarts" in the home as a survival mechanism. The same "street-smarts" you're valuing should never be something that is required of a child in their home, against their parents.

When it is a constant in your life to stay "street-smart" it is a setback because it drowns out other intelligence - this happens with abusive parents.

Although related, I am not referring to the traditional city kid's need for some "street smarts" - I'm referring to unsafe environments at home/with parenting which I specifically stated in parent comment:

> Let's acknowledge exactly what "streetwise" is... it's the ability to operate in unsafe and not ideal environments in a way that maximizes personal safety.

> "streetwise" in regards to your parents/upbringing

---

My overall point is if one has to get "street-smart" because of what is happening at home... that's heinous because children should be safe, and I 100% see it as a setback inflicted on the child.

Why would you assume video is at 30fps? Geographic location? People not in the US (and a handful of other countries) would assume video framerate of 25fps.

Does the refresh rate of a computer monitor get referred to as frames? Usually, it's just the frequency like 120Hz type units. Sorry for the conversation break, but I've just never heard app start up times with a framerate reference. Was just an unusual enough thing that I let me brain wonder on it longer than necessary

1. I've been using computer mice for something north of 30 years. I'm reasonably proficient. I've used vi/vim for roughly as long.[1]

2. Text-based selection and interaction work at the context of text. It's really hard to express how powerful this is if you've not internalised it.

3. On many GUI-based devices, the mouse is no longer the mouse, but the finger. This raises a whole host of additional issues:

- You're now covering up what it is you want to select.

- Your selection is no longer based on a single pixel (the apex of the pointer itself) but a region.

- There's the inherent ambiguity between selection and movement. That is, when, where I'm touching the screen, do I intend to scroll the display and when do I intend to select or interact with elements on it? In over a decade's use of touch devices I've yet to see either hardware or software which isn't subject to this failure, constantly.

- Hardware keyboards are highly effective for text input. (I'm writing this on an Android device with an external keyboard. Touch keyboards ... suck and blow, as the saying goes.)

You might struggle to use vim (lots of folks do), but for those of us that grew up using it as a much more accurate text-manipulation tool ... I'd wager none of the things you've listed present much of a challenge or thought.

The point of vim (or Emacs) is that those keystrokes simply become internalised. I don't think through actions, they simply happen.

In a GUI, I'm constantly fighting the interface.

I think the tricky issue is updating the structure or semantics of an existent call across services. A monorepo makes it easy to make these kinds of changes in code, while making it non-obvious that it is dangerous to deploy; it is a giant foot-gun. Examples along this line include updating the name of an RPC, or endpoint, or changing the request/response structure, and so on. Of course you could argue that "you just shouldn't", of which I agree, but the point is that then making those kinds changes should actually be really hard, instead of really easy.
