I'm quite blunt myself. I'd just tell it how it is: "I'm not trying to be funny, nor create any friction, but this machine simply isn't fast enough for my work. My own 7 year old laptop is faster — that's why I used it in the past, only to then get into trouble, for which I totally understand the reasons why. I'm so concerned about this problem, moving forwards, that I've even considered getting a loan to buy a better work machine, which is clearly daft, but that's how concerned I am. I'm even so concerned that I have posted anonymously on a website with many IT pros on it, asking for advice on the situation. Some of the folk simply suggested looking for work elsewhere, which I'd honestly prefer not to do. So instead I'm trying to talk to you about the problem, in the hope that you'll remedy it."

Is there a proper way? Sure, if there is some internal company process for hardware acquisition. Otherwise, I think the proper way is simply to ask: be direct, clear and polite, and explain your concerns.

In the past, I've worked at (UK) companies that have had the right mentality: that hardware is cheap compared to developer/engineer's time.

Some places I've worked actually leased decent workstations for employees, instead of purchasing them. It works out cheap monthly, is good for cashflow and tax, hardware faults are someone else's problem, and upgrades are cheap/easy.

Obviously, these latter points don't answer your primary questions at all, and might not be of much- if any- assistance.

But if the company you work at is fairly small (edit: maybe company size doesn't matter), perhaps you can somehow put these points forward in conversation, for their consideration.

Maybe consider looking for another job if they don't remedy the problem. Not providing adequate tooling for a given job, even if you are junior, is a pretty big oversight on their part, and might be an indicator that they're not great employers.
Instagram hides some posts that mention abortion
Another missing cool feature from old Firefox for mobile was ability to remove a site url from suggest and history just by long touching on it, which seems to have entirely purged it from the places db.

In fact, the new one doesn't remove things from suggest even if you remove it from your browser history manually, which is also really only convenient to do if you accessed it recently. If you don't want things spamming up suggest, the only option is to use private browsing or wipe your entire history.
I agree with my parent that it's difficult to solve depression from first principles. However, I think that there is the possibility that OP is not depressed and just seeks like-minded company that is difficult to find. In that case, HN should have the knowledge to discuss a technical solution.
Show HN: The Fastest Slider library for high performance websites
Many company websites and resources like to describe what they do with word salad bingo instead of getting to the point. At best you can know what market they are in.

Even more so for startups who don't really know what their solution is.
- actively working on "top investors" and filtering by that as well (we prioritize tier 1, they just get lost in the fray)
- onboarding -- looking at our data, surprised that a lot of people didn't fake it, just dropped off at the create acct page
- working on updated jobs page + home page refreshes

haven't seen topstartups! looks great. we kill it on curation + matching.
Curation: lot of dead startups from tier 1 investors. instead, we look holistically at growth rate, funding, major hires, benefits, etc to recommend great co's. no one else can do that.
matching: instant gratification is nice, but when you're actually looking/applying, you don't need quantity.
If you murder someone in private, your right to privacy doesn't protect you from murder charges. The same logic is being used with abortion laws, your euphemizing it as "a medical procedure" notwithstanding.
In the second year of COVID I was hiring for a dev position and got a really good candidate who came across as a very bright, outgoing young woman, who got "hire" decisions from 4 of 4 interviewers. She worked with us for about 6 months remotely, but never turned her camera on after the interview loop, and in retrospect she seemed like a totally different person than who we interviewed. The conspiracy theorist in me says she used a double to do the interviews. No need to deep fake anyone.
> If you want to know, it's pretty easy to tell whether a household has guns

Oh, really? How so?
I wouldn't even think you need to shop for another planet - there are plenty parts of world where it's essentially free-for-all what people build on their own land. They're variously known as favelas, slums, shantytowns etc.
>There is no regulation that can actually stop it.

As a gun owner, sure there is. If your gun shows up in a crime, you get indicted as well. That would put a big dent in people being willing to buy guns for others.

Also making sure there are no secondary sales without background checks, which is supported by (I think?) the majority of Americans would help.

Repeat offenders at losing guns lose the right to any guns.

All of these would stop repeat offenders, and if I recall, the majority of straw sales are repeat offenders knowing they don't get in much or any trouble buying guns this way.
Aligning incentives through software pricing
Similar to other replies, I also am not so interested in customizing my tools. I use a small number of tools and as out of the box as possible (but learn them well). If you led the conversation in that direction I'd probably try to steer it away.

So it's horses for courses.
I don’t understand this line of thinking. Regardless of other sources of black market guns publishing this list increases the number of stolen guns. At best it accomplishes nothing.
E.g. Hetzner will give you DDoS protection for free with every dedicated server you host with them. If you need more security you can also put another provider in front of it.

CloudFront on the other hand will bleed you dry with their pricing.
agreed, changing that now.
In exurban Atlanta, my home has been broken into 3 times in the past 4 years. I was home for the last one; I was alerted by my Ring doorbell and the crook never got past the front hallway. While I live in a city with a (relatively) large police force, they can't be everywhere all the time. Once I called they were there in 30 seconds but the person was gone. I don't have a gun nor do I wish one, although I understand why so many people here do have a firearm.

I've no idea who it was nor do I care. I imagine most people , like me, just want to protect themselves, and are not on a hunt to single out POC. I like I'm able to use technology to at least give my and my family a chance to be safer. Do I have cameras? Yes. And I check them. having the knowledge regarding people who come to your home uninvited is a powerful tool.

From my perspective, it's interesting a black woman invented the concept, but it matters less than the actual technology. Ingenuity comes to people , not x-kinds of people. I imagine that's not a view most YC folks share but it's probably more in line with the vast number of US citizens.
But almost nobody regrets it.

Yeah, no.

Gen X-er here - born before Roe v Wade. My own mother told me she'd have aborted me had it been legal. She felt trapped into getting married to someone she ultimately didn't love. I witnessed several domestic violence issues growing up. The "good news" is I wasn't alone - I knew other kids that had similar home issues. It was way more widespread than people let on.

This whole narrative of I had children unexpectedly at 18 and it was a miracle that changed my life - yeah it happens, but it's the rare case. That's not typically how that ball rolls.

The reality is it really sucks to be an unwanted child. Let them live, my ass. It's more like let them suffer.

> Given this knowledge, the realistic way to improve human cognition would be widely available (perhaps state-sponsored) voluntary embryo selection[2] for intelligence. Embryo selection via PGS is already being applied[3][4][5] as an optional procedure in IVF, so there is no technical risk, the only impediment for now is simply social inertia, politics....

The statement that a nation-wide state-sponsored embryo selection based on polygenic risk scoring for intelligence carries no risk is patently false.

Suggesting that the only impediment is "social inertia" and "politics" is intentional misinformation.

I occasionally make edits to the structure of the original content, but given my limited resources, which is a fraction of my personal time, that's all I can do. In the future if this brings in more revenue I will consider donating more to Wikimedia, hiring editorial staff to contribute back to CurrentEvents, or purchasing a Wikimedia Enterprise subscription.

I do want to acknowledge and be upfront that I won't be able to satisfy everybody's level of fairness, taste, etc, but this is currently what is sustainable for me given the amount of time and resources I have available to put into this project. Some will think this is done in very bad taste, like yourself, and others won't. That's fine! I accept constructive or thoughtful critiques and will reflect on them in the future as things change.
I spent $7000 on an Apple Pro XDR display so I could avoid your problem. On the one hand, that’s outrageous and I knew it. On the other hand, it is a truly stunning display at the pleasure to use every day.

But yes, it simply should not have to be this way.
It’s buggy on iOS Safari
I think they're asking how regulating sales will prevent straw purchases when straw purchases are already illegal, so presumably additional regulation won't do anything more. If you're convicted of a straw purchase you won't be able to legally purchase anymore.
Interviews as a service. Interesting idea and thanks for sharing.
Anyone has an idea why only PC and Nintendo Switch are listed as platforms...? What about Playstation, Xbox, Mac etc?
I find it interesting that IC once meant, "integrated circuit" in the same culture which exists here now, but decades earlier. Having been on both sides of the false dichotomy that's drawn between management and individual contributors, my experience has been that great ICs don't necessarily need management and great management are often great precisely because of their individual contribution. It's paradoxical that perfection may emerge despite the fact that product, process, and people exist on a spectrum that produces so much conflict. One wonders whether product perfection is, in fact, emergent with respect to the conflict around people and process.
Do they? We're currently entering an era of strict Constitutional textualism, and a right to privacy is mentioned nowhere in it. If women don't have a right to privacy regarding their own bodies, why should gun owners get to keep their guns secret?
It takes a lot to say very little in Go sometimes, I'd say this is one of those cases. Mainly the if err != nil boiler is at issue here.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong from a noobies opinion.
> "Do you plan to sell the company?"

I joined a start up with a great amount of equity. They got offered 100 million buyout offer after I'd been there a year. I would have been extremely happy with that outcome. But they had no interest -- they weren't interested in a 100 million dollar company. Been there, done that, that wasn't their goal. Now I ask that question. Or more generally, same line as the profitability one. What are your exit strategies (with many follow ups). You want to know if this is a multi billion dollar boom or bust play because it has serious impact on your risk and payout.
Safety is not black and white; everything is a tradeoff. If COVID was say, 100x worse, I think it would be obvious that it would be worth the risks of an expedited process to release a vaccine sooner.
Characterizing someone as "psychotic" for simply owning a firearm is pretty psychotic in my view.
"Reading" in mathematics is usually about doing problem sets and working through proofs step by step by yourself.

If you try to read math like a novel your brain will just go "zip...zip" and jump over important things. You really have to make math your own.

A very interesting case is

With methanol, density is higher and storage costs are lower than batteries though, right? Those things may matter depending on application. Like, building battery banks to store energy for a season? no way. building tanks to store methanol? maybe?! I dont know.
Imagine you have a safe at your house to keep your important documents protected.

Now imagine that the government requires you to register your safe because a child could be trapped in your safe.

Now imagine that the database was leaked.

Your important documents were safer because you had a safe, now they are less safe because thieves know exactly what houses have home safes and thus where they should go to steal from.
That’s unimaginative. I’d go for “you can, but you’ll get 100 machines of 100GB each”.
There was a recent case where this has been used in the political realm. Someone impersonating the mayor of Kyiv had a chat with the mayors of Berlin, Madrid, and Vienna.

Someone wasn't around back in 2001 for Duke Nukem Forever's tantalizingly close-to-complete looking trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDlB2P1leRM

But jokes aside, this is probably much more than a little teaser and given that it is in good hands I'm sure you are correct that it's well on the way to completion :)
well, shit. I concede that particular point then.

my presumption of malice was primarily based on what followed - crippled android addons, forced addon signing on non-Nightly, upcoming adoption of manifest v3. put together, the poweruser experience we had in 2015 is better than the one we have now. and unlike XUL, the only explanation I see for all of these is either malice or stupidity.
You are likely wanting something like RDS [1], Azure [2], or even Linode (which I just discovered) [3]. Sure you have to pay a larger premium for it, but these products do allow you to focus on the app than the DBA stuff.

It's already in the works.
Doesn't work that way. Wyoming has as much power in the Senate as California, even though it's got a lot fewer people. So, effectively, a single Wyoming voter has a lot more power than a single California voter.

In a true democracy, one person's vote would count just as much as another's. That's not the way it works now.
It's great to see AWS use standards like WebAuthn and make it easier for people to move away from pure passwords. It should benefit AWS users and their customer's data but hopefully pushes further adoption.
Same. It looks a bit too vibrant and hard to pin what's happening
You're being downvoted (or were when I commented) but that last part is absolutely what the data say, and I've seen data that say the rates are much higher than triple vs non-gun owners. Lots of suicides are in the heat of the moment and when there isn't an easy, painless way to kill yourself, you don't (e.g. if you take a lot of pills, you have a window where you can realize you don't want to die and call 911). Of course there will be people who plan it out and go through with it in other ways.
I had this belief for years where I was the smart one in the room until I finally lost it by actually listening to folks that were wiser or just experts in fields I barely had an inkling in. It was amazing to just give in to my curiosity and give up my foolish need to feel powerful or knowledgeable. Now, I still do feel competent in things like programming in C# for .Net apps and some general programming problems that I've kept up with but if say someone asks me about rendering graphics I'm gonna point them to someone else. What I fear is that loss of certainty is something that keeps some people into the naïve realist position or so I've noticed in my own social circles. For example, I've had someone on Second Life (virtual world platform) keep insisting that being transgender itself is a mental illness rather than some transgender people can have gender dysphoria (which I am trans and have gender dysphoria) which is a mental illness onto itself. Not everyone with gender dysphoria act on it. Not everyone transitions, some do suppress it all their lives or only express their gender identity in the margins. The point being this person in question keeps asking like why are transgender people proud of being transgender if it's a mental illness which I've tried and failed to explain the situation. It's like talking to a brick wall. And honestly, I've given up. It's just one tiny example in a sea of ignorance that I think we all find ourselves contributing to or trying to banish but I just wanted to share it in this context.
You sure do, you value it more than $500M :-)
Our society runs on people sending emails to each other, as it happens. What could have higher stakes?
It’s a small home based business, but that’s allowed her to keep control and grow sustainably-I’m not quitting my tech job any time soon, but we are also expecting our first baby in October so might look into more effort on advertising once we know how much growth we can handle.

Definitely very similar to kiwico, no direct conversations, not that worried as there is a fair amount of overlap as well as differences.

She’s done lots of approaches over the years (eg selling at festivals pre-Covid) and life is a lot easier now that the focus is mainly subscriptions.

Phone number is on the site and she says she’d be happy to chat if you want to give a call.

Outreach has an unlimited ability to soak time away from doing actual science.

Sometimes it's a net benefit, but sometimes not. See: scientists beefing with flat earthers, who will never be convinced of anything.
Not sure if I'd take life advice from Def Leppard.
Presumably they prioritized the platforms that would be the primary market. And "PC"/"steam" includes Mac here.
The look is different but seems nice enough. Not much dialogue in the trailer, which is the thing that caused so many people to remember the first games so fondly. The dialogue was so fresh funny and energetic in the original games, like if Monty Python at their peak had made a game.

Fingers crossed the magic is still there, and the jokes are irreverent as ever.
Thank you!! Just yesterday I was googling trying to find a good introduction to learning assembly and today here it is!!!
There are companies where the level of expertise is so low, you look like a genius beside them. I did this, I worked several jobs in parallel. The pay was... not really amazing, about 8k/mo when I had 3 projects at the same time. And in most of the cases I was a main player in some important parts of the system. I think _some_ people caught on. But I also think they didn't care that much because I solved their problems, unblocked their people and was always responsive, if push came to shove, I would put in the extra time to make the damn thing work and ship it.
>If the shortened emergency FDA process for covid vaccines is "safe" then it should be considered safe for other products as well.

Absolutely ridiculous logic. Minor side effects of a life-saving vaccine is absolutely not something that should be allowed for other products that wish to jump regulations and safety.
Hey that's awesome! When I was a teenager I learnt C++ so I could code on a Zelda fan game engine. Why did you guys want to learn assembly?
>Also making sure there are no secondary sales without background checks, which is supported by (I think?) the majority of Americans would help.

It's only supported by the majority of Americans until you ask them about specific situations and policy implications. Instead of a generic "Do you support universal background checks?" question they should try asking "Should you have to perform a background check to loan a gun to your roommate to take to the range?" or "Should you have to perform a background check to loan a gun to your next door neighbor who is worried her violent stalker ex-boyfriend has figured out where she lives?" and you'll find much lower levels of support.
"better to burn out than fade away". I really love that thought.

I think burning out is normal these days, particularly with the pressure to grow and keep up with an ever changing tech stack.

I'm a big advocate for giving yourself a break because I've seen when you do, there's a refreshing moment that sparks innovation and efficiency. Ebb and flow
I wonder if Github Co-pilot or DALL-E type work could be expanded to generate ASCII diagrams (or art) based on descriptions provided.
Roller ball mouse? I guess there isn't much room for a trackpad but those roller balls accumulate dirt and get janky pretty quickly. A trackpoint such as on ThinkPad keyboards would be better.
By "a lot of opinions" you seem to mean that I gave two suggestions of possible sources of firearms, and then openly admitted I don't know how they compare to theft.

Would you rather I have simply stated those two sources and omitted the part about not having the data to compare the quantity of firearms obtained through those sources?

Do you have access to data we could use to make this comparison?
I just took a course on this and purchased multiple books for it.
My favorite to work though because it is to the point was Book of Poof by Richard Hammack

I literally benchmarked an application I've written on a €34 euro dedicated server to 480 requests per second. Which comes out at 1,244,160,000 requests per month. If I ever reach a level anywhere near that renting a few more to provide reliability and failover would again be reasonably cheap.

This all comes while keeping the data on servers belonging to EU companies. Using Cloud servers is rather dodgy as shown by the fact Google Analytics, Google Fonts, etc are all illegal.

Everyone keeps talking about the ease of just getting a new server and not having to spend time repairing servers. This is an over sold problem. How often have we ever dealt with hardware problems 8-10 years ago? I only remember one server going down because of hardware issues that cause problems all the other times there were failover servers and the hardware issues were fixed by datacentre staff before anyone even noticed there was an issue in the first place. With tools like ansible and chef, you can provision a new server super quickly so even if the server gets a corrupt configure of whatever, you can just wipe the server and rebuild.

Most of us are not at the scale where we would realsitically see the benefits of cloud computing for hosting.
Hmm. Seems like there's barely any facial animation. With the pixel graphic you kind of forgave it because your mind fills in the gaps, but with the flash style they are going with here, it feels really dead. At least in this trailer.
