We just got used to that if you want to bootstrap/install web/api stack, you need to change tons of knobs and configs and install many libs and software pieces.

But there is another approach: one self contained binary/artifact which can include embedded DB too, and be launched by one command.

… I mean, I use it right now, if I have a timestamp in America/Los_Angeles that's between about November and March. Not all timestamps are right now.

Heck, my coworkers use PST all the time (ah, timezone pun?). One of these days I should honor those timestamps to the letter.
Personally, I do not find speed to be a significant exception or attraction.

Actually getting news is the clear winner!

Thought experiment, two sites:

One is quick, easy to read, but boring, low clarity.

The other is slow, harder to read, but is compelling, high clarity.

Now another thought experiment, and please here me out! This one is from broadcasting:

Two streams or stations. Can be radio, TV, whatever:

One, is boring, but pristine! Quality is off the chart good.

The other, for whatever reason, is compelling! Quality is low. Crappy.

-----

Answer these for both experiments:

Which one do you use?

Why?

Which one do [you think] other people use? [And you might benefit by asking them]

Why?

-----

Results!

In broadcast, the number one criteria was whether it was compelling. Full stop, that is what mattered to most people by a very solid majority. Almost nothing else did. And that played out with almost everyone doing broadcast of any kind moving to offer more lower quality choices to people, while at the same time delivering compelling programming to their audiences.

You have probably heard the phrase, "Content is king!"

For news, this will be less clear, but I bet being fast is analogous to quality in the broadcast realm.

And if I am at all right about that, fast just won't get you there. Don't get me wrong. There will be a set people who go for it, but the bigger numbers will be on compelling.

And that is both a different, and IMHO, a very interesting topic. Public trust in mainstream media "news" is super low.

If you were to deliver compelling news from a variety of sources that have more public trust, you are very likely to attract and keep users. Again IMHO.

sync to git isn't perfect. I use Google Keep, which, like docs, I can have the same document open on multiple machines, start editing on one, finished editing on the other, no "commit/push/fetch/rebase/merge" cycle required.

The typical scenario for me is start typing something in and then get interrupted (notification, time based appointment, someone needing my attention), when I get back to entering I might be at a different machine (like started on my phone, got interrupted, then sitting at my computer and remember to finish).

I don't see how git sync helps this issue.
No it's actually because instructors like to assign the problems to students.
You're straw manning. Not all crimes should have the death penalty. But severe abhorrent ones like killing, spreading of chaos (i.e. "terrorism"), or some other abhorrent obvious ones. We see that in countries that do apply the death penalty for such crimes, they have much lower of those crimes compared to those that don't. And they've done it for over 1000 years.
Challenging the premise of the question:
Is it possible that you could do what the company is asking with the machine they’ve given you, but it is just slower and more frustrating than you’re used to? One problem with developers (particularly web developers) always having the fastest laptops is that they can develop websites and features that perform poorly for the average user without realising.

Accepting the premise:
I would try having a really gentle and discreet private chat with my line manager.

Mention that you’re a bit worried because the machine you have is not fit for purpose and ask them what it means. Does it mean the company is in financial trouble? Or is it a hint that they don’t value your work/expect much from you?

This reframes the question from being seen as “we have a junior developer who is entitled” to “our attempts to reduce costs are making us look bad as a company”.

My worry from your question is that the relationship has a mismatch of expectations - you are working from home because you believe it enables you to work more effectively, but your boss (presumably?) sees it differently. They wouldn’t ask you to stop working from home if you were seen as “getting the job done”.

However the advantage of working in an office is that you can bug your coworkers to use their machines for the bits your machine isn’t up to - like loading figma. Again the importance of doing this nicely is key - moaning gets old quickly and is then seen as a reflection of the person moaning rather than their circumstances. But if you’re “sorry to bug you, but it just won’t work on my machine, so if you could just screen shot all the relevant bits in figma and share them via Slack that’d be awesome because I’m currently blocked” then you’ve made it someone else’s problem. And in a way that expects the company to pay the price, while allowing you to remain positive and focused on getting the job done.
No, checklists are great. They are great because while exercising your brain is good, sometimes you don't really care about exercising your brain, you just care about getting it right. For example, trying to restart an engine on a plane, doing a complex software upgrade, etc. There are plenty of times where you don't think of something you should have.

"This is why its important a service like the Wayback Machine or, even better, Ethereum blockchain exists, to timestamp webpages and media for future observers."

Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) uses much data from Common Crawl. GPT-3 was trained with Common Crawl and Wikipedia dumps. Arguably, under this prediction, the "live" web after 2022 will be an automated regurgitation of the web before 2022, e.g., going back to only 2009, the year of Common Crawl's first public archive. (Strangely, there is no archive for 2011.)

Your question is a fair one and does not deserve to be downvoted. I'm just curious from what sources you learned about machine learning? Even in this world of using libraries to get things done, I have yet to see machine learning books or courses not touching math at all.
> Did you know, Invidious has an RSS feed for your subscriptions?

I did not know that! For a Youtube front-end I use Cloudtube[1] and NewLeaf[2] (NewLeaf is a drop-in replacement for Invidious). I'll have to see if NewLeaf supports RSS feeds like Invidious because then I could remove RSSHub from my cluster. Thanks for the tip!

> All subscriptions are stored in cookies, so it’s a pain if I want to browse the same content on my phone and desktop.

Wouldn't using an RSS feed server like FreshRSS mitigate this cross-device problem? I.E. you mark something as read on one device it will sync between devices. I ask because initially I was confused about your description because I don't have the same issue but then after I used my Big Brain® I realized FreshRSS solves this problem for me.

EDIT: Silly me, I guess I requested RSS feeds feature in NewLeaf already[3] last year

Ask HN: Getting HOA to upgrade Ethernet wiring
Hi HN,

I naively purchased a condo that said it had google fiber.

Unfortunately, the building is wired with CAT5 and limits out at 100 megabytes.

I’ve reached out to my HOA to advocate for an upgrade of each units wiring so we can take full advantage of the fiber connection.

Has anyone gone through something like this in the past?

How would you advise I attempt to get folks on board?

Thanks in advance!
> I could imagine all sorts of wonderful things, but being able to imagine something is not a reasonable basis for expecting it to occur

I think you overestimate the difficulty of exploiting our sense of novelty.
Ditto on DuckDB point. This looks like OLAP workloads to me and a columnar database would work wonders. DuckDB if you going embedded, Clickhouse if you going with a server.
I suspect a lot of topic specific websites from the 90s just became wikipedia pages. However, there is evident value in highly curated content like this in a broad subject area that many people care about.
> You can look at Australia during covid and the camps they setup.

What camps? At some points, some international arrivals were quarantined in "camps" and, interstate or international travellers were variously required to isolate in hotels. The US had a range of at-home and government supervised quarantine too.

TO say they "set up camps" is disingenuous.

Ah, the memories of meteor.

Feeling like a rockstar while developing. Impressing the colleagues and clients with how amazing functionality I could produce in so little time.

Then the absolute horror of production traffic hitting the system and everything grinding to a halt. If I remember correctly, the resources required by their reactive data model scaled up significantly both with read connection count and write activity. And I could not do a damn thing about it without a complete rewrite. First and only real case in my career where I simply could not solve the problem, not even a small part of the problem.

Oh, and it also let me experience running Mongo as primary data source. A lot of experience gained courtesy of meteor.js, for sure, but I'd prefer it to stay in rear view mirror for sure.

> If you’re a frontend dev trying to glue together something that works

(Not the GP) I mostly do "backend" work, my limited experience with the frontend (mostly javascript) is that you actually need to deal with (explicit) tree structures more in the frontend. The DOM tree is one, for example. Other UI elements can be modeled quite nicely with a tree structure too.
That's how SMS works. It's running a baseband modem over the voice channel.
That's because WebAuthn in general is a poor match to most lower-stakes uses of passwords. Not everything is a bank account. Many things are appropriately authenticated using "just" a password manager. WebAuthn refuses to acknowledge that, because it's a standard born of corporate security officers serving their own ends. It's still appropriate for some things an average human or techie human does, but not everything, and its promoters need to stop acting like it is the only game in town.
I'm in the same boat. I have to use Outlook for work, but I use TB for pretty much everything else (and still import my work cal to make sure I have a 'master' view of all my time since I work from home mostly anyway).

It's punchy, has decent (not awesome) UX, is easy to set up, and doesn't act like a memory leak with a UI.

PCI-Express 6.0 and 7.0 both abandon binary signaling and move to four voltage levels per time quantum to encode two bits at once. That lets them move twice as much data in the same bandwidth, signal to noise ratio willing.

Since they will be pushing the limits of the SNR, they also build in forward error correction to keep the error rate under control.
don't worry, the 9 left wing justices once the courts are packed will override them and enshrine the right to kill your children so long as they are considered a minor (up to 18, or even 21). it might get hairy once the court is further packed and the right wing justices reverse that decision and decide everyone who isn't a 28 year old 6'7" white male with blue eyes should be put in a fire pit.

in other words, stop it.
I've been in the same situation, and it's one of the few times I've appreciated the bureaucracy and red tape that come with being at a Fortune 500 company. Whenever the sales team comes to me asking for another tracking pixel, I just say "We'll be happy to add this once you've submitted the necessary paperwork and it undergoes the the company-mandated security, privacy, and legal reviews". 90% of the time, I never hear back from them again.

>However I think a substantial number of posts are creative writing exercises

A lot of division trolling going on there, trying to foment labor militancy. r/antiwork is the most visible facet of it, endlessly trying to encourage strikes, calling out, sandbagging, etc. This overemployed stuff (people blatantly bragging about how they're getting so much money for barely working and how you're stupid if you don't try and scam the system) is another facet of it.

It's the usual suspects exploiting and widening any and all divisions in society they can find.
I'm the opposite, my email is where the important stuff is. If you Slack me, GChat me, or contact me in any IM that doesn't have threads that I can mark back as "unread" if I'm busy or on the go... At best it's important enough that I send myself an email about it, to handle asynchronously. At worst I will never get back to you.
The fed can do qe just as easily at 8% interest rates. They just feed the interest right back to the treasury.
Yeah exactly. Can't fathom using it as an argument. The terrible consequences of Australians not having firearms: drastically lower COVID deaths per capita. Also, no mass shootings this century.

It sort of is in the complaint. It sounds like the FTC imposed requirements on MoneyGram separately years ago, and MoneyGram tried but failed to impose those obligations on Walmart's retail locations. (It also seems that Walmart is itself a registered MSB/transmitter.)

Unclear specifications in the edge cases is the definition of requirements engineering and the reason why such an approach usually isn’t the best for any moderately complex application.

If the person who wrote the requirements could formulate them precisely, they might as well have done it themselves in code rather than as requirements.

As a coder you just have to get used to it. Your job is to fill in the blanks so the higher ups can focus on the big picture.

This is why iterative planning (agile) has become so popular. You implement the most important use cases first and from there go through the edge cases together.

I am aware of churches renting schools for services, Sunday school etc. I attended such a church for years.

No one said it disrupted the game.

The separation of church and state, known as the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, is certainly part of the Constitution. The state cannot interfere with religious institutions, and religious institutions cannot interfere with the state (making a break with European tradition, where churches were often an arm of the state, and religious institutions often controlled government), thereby making it a two way separation.

According to a quick Google search, bull markets also last four to six years on average. The current bull market has been going on for about thirteen years now.
The company I'm with is a major partner with a lot of the large miners up here, and it's been fascinating watching the industry pivot to renewables in recent times. It's certainly refreshing to see predominantly dirty companies take a keen interest in pivoting to newer technology

By design. Why do you think gmail strips encrypted archive attachments? Surprised they even allow S/MIME.
That's very kind of you to say! Personally I would love to read something on this topic by members of the original Meteor team. Although I was a "fixture" in the community, I was also an outsider compared to actual MDG staff, so my understanding of the actual situation on the ground was always a bit one-sided…

Ah yes, great examples. The people were clearly only pointing out that COVID originated from the same city where a virology lab exists...wait a second, they're both promulgating the "China made COVID" line.

There's a big difference between saying COVID originated from Wuhan and conspiracy theories saying COVID was manmade.
Hate to say it, but I personally don't feel comfortable storing all of my logins on Apple or Google's servers. Sorry, not for me.

If you have multiple Apple devices, for example, you don't have to use iCloud Keychain for passkeys if you're that paranoid, regardless of how convenient it is. All I can say is Keychain is pretty badass; I have no qualms about using it [1].

If you're on a cruise and you accidentally drop your iPhone into the ocean, you could buy a new one at the next port—or when you get back home—and do Apple's restore process and you're back in business in 10 minutes. All of your logins, credentials, certificates, etc. are encrypted with a key Apple doesn't have, so they can't access or give it to anyone else even if they were presented with a search warrant by law enforcement [2].

And also what happens if the public private key pair is compromised?

It's called a public key for a reason; it can't be compromised, right? The public key replaces your username when logging in; both are public information.

The private key never leaves your device, so there's no opportunity for a sketchy website or fishing attack to get it. And it certainly can't be intercepted like SMS codes can be.

You know how people get fooled into logging into a fake site who's domain is one character different than the authentic domain? A password manager doesn't help you with that but passkeys are cryptographically attached to a domain, so it can't be used on a site masquerading as your bank's website.

> easily handle millions of requests per day

Yes. People don't realize how little that is. Million requests per day is 12 requests per second, on average. Even if we factor in peak load at 20x that, it is still well within reach of exceptionally modest hardware, assuming at least vaguely sane software stack.
