> “we are a family” is all hot air

Is and always has been nonsense. Team? Yes! Family? Families members don’t get added and removed based on market value. Also the heads of the family don’t split with a huge chunk of the family treasure when a certain goal has been reached, leaving the rest to call someone else father and mother ;)

Always cringed at that one, even when meant well.

I used to use the crappy mainstream stuff like the Linksys, in fact I have probably over £1k of WiFi routers in my router graveyard at home.

I switched to a Ubiquiti Edge Router and went the "discrete devices" route, one device for one purpose.

The edge router lasted 5 years or so before some power component blew, and with the sorry state of updates from Ubiquiti these days, I decided to move on. When I was looking around Turris came up a lot but it goes against my "discrete devices" approach so I bought a Protectli i5 box and run pfSense.

Ideally I'd like to get to the point where my Ubiquiti Unifi APs can be replaced with generic but capable hardware running Linux or BSD too for WiFi 6 speeds (not sure that's currently possible/available) and Switches are likely a way off.

If this isn't just a huge miscommunication on the part of Steam and/or Ubisoft, then this is theft, plain and simple. When you pay for a specific product, the manufacturer should never have the legal right to unilaterally remove your access to that product. This isn't a subscription service, where the terms are different (and you're paying much less than you would have in this situation).

Which happen in world of javascript. It has null and undefined. Null variable is a variable / property that's defined and set with null, while undefined is a variable / property that's not defined yet (or maybe not initialized, I forgot).

I hope at least SQL will give another comparison operation, such as the current equal sign (=) means a.prop is not null && b.prop is not null && a.prop equal b.prop (for not defined yet).

Let's say another sign like a.prop *= b.prop, meaning a.prop is null && b.prop is null || a.prop = b.prop (for our intention is both value are empty).

I think he's disagreeing with the arbitrariness of where you're drawing lines to make your argument sound more reasonable. And he's free to argue his way. Mass production already has a definition and I'm pretty sure significant manual work goes into each copy.

But this is beside the point. Regardless of how many copies are made, the creativity and ingenuity that went into the first one alone makes it something marvellous. Jaquet-Droz only made one handwriting automaton boy. But if he made 150 it would still be a contribution to human endeavour and I'm glad for that.
>and other remnants of the last century that are non-existent in many European countries

And also very much existent in many European countries, in particular the most important ones. Paper tech debt isn't exclusive to the US, any State that is old enough will have that sort of inertia. In my job I see a lot of systems dedicated to ingesting paper documents and normalizing them to newer digital standards, which obviously break constantly in semi-catastrophic fashion and requires regular manual intervention (I know a fellow production engineer who has refused to pay taxes on the Internet for as long as possible due to his experience of the sausage factory). Most of Western Europe seems to exist in that limbo.
>Because many advocates of GMVH are only interested in justifying the gender imbalance in leadership positions biologically

This is also a gross oversimplification. Yes, there are a bunch of men at the top willing to take advantage of anything, but there are also hoards of men at the bottom tired of being blamed for things they have no control over and potentially be "indebted" socially, who would never see any benefit from the guys at the top.

Problem being the same, address the elephant in the room and stop having people at the top only interested in themselves and willing to exploit everything.

The article totally fails to mention the elephant in the room: graduate school costs!

Moreover, the public debate over student loan forgiveness typically fails to mention that graduate students owe 50% of all student loan debt, despite being only 25% of all student loan debtors.

Getting a PhD often takes many years, and the PhD completion rate for incoming graduate students is very low. Even after you get a PhD, it can be difficult to get a tenure track job. For those who get on the tenure track, you'll probably be fine financially, but for everyone else... going graduate school can ruin your life. You may waste the best years of your life while accumulating a debt you can never pay off, without even an official graduation certificate to show for it.

College, including graduate school, is so much more expensive now than it was decades ago. And people forget that the post-WWII generation could use the GI Bill to pay for both undergraduate and graduate school.

My current choices are wfh with my nice stand up desk, good chair lots of space, fresh lunch when I want it, healthy snacks, no one looking over my shoulder, no need to worry about my colleagues personal hygiene issues vs returning to the office, the chairs are poor, no standup desks, food choices are limited. Also the lost time in travel - say 2 hours a day I can spend walking, looking at the clouds, listening to the birds. I do miss the interaction in the office, but why would I give up the comfort of work from home.

I think this is a big part of the argument that is not discussed, the office environment is so awful you can take my wfh from my cold dead hands, make the office environment better then we can talk.

Tree-sitter appears to be ultra-focused on producing valid syntax trees really fast. This is great for e.g. syntax highlighting, but suboptimal in cases where you are writing a reference parser for your custom language and want to provide very useful error descriptions. Chumsky seems to be more suited for the latter (and also has a part of tutorial about precedence[0], so it seems to deal at least with that case).

This overview of parser tradeoffs may be helpful: https://blog.jez.io/tree-sitter-limitations/.

How does it compare to 389 Directory Server? I've been using that with SSSD for user management and authentication in a small LAN with about twenty machines for about ten years. It is rock solid, but every few years when I do an major OS upgrade I have to get deep into the weeds and it always takes me a few days to become familiar with all the backend stuff again. I'm not using Kerberos or single sign on or anything fancy.
You are referring to Schelling's model, and the threshold he found for segregation wasn't 1/3 but 2/3 'wrong', i.e. that everyone prefer not to be in a minority of less than 1/3. This was just was striking about it – that even if every individual is happy with being in a minority, the population can still segregate. I'm not aware that he ever referred to the degree of preference in his model as 'mild', or small. It's relatively small, compared to what you might otherwise expect – I think most people would have guessed that it took a preference of 1/2 to produce self-segregation.

> Why bother with docker for a home server other than for the fun of it?

I do this. Over time you forget how each service was configured, or simply don't care. Adding more and more stuff to a home server increases the complexity and the attack surface more than linearly in the number of services.

I run nearly all my home services in docker, and I have a cookie-cutter approach for generating SSL certs and nginx config for SSL termination (not dockerized). Provisioning is automated through ansible, so my machines can be cattle not pets, as far as is possible on 3 raspberry pis.
>Amazon, google, msft, meta all have fairly big offices all over Europe

Yeah but what is the percentage of EU devs working at FAANG EU offices from the total number of devs in Europe? <1%?

>fully remote jobs becoming way more common

Fully remote jobs aren't common at all where I live (Austria) and have many negative consequences since you have to be self employed as a contractor, so you pay more taxes while missing out on pension, PTO, sick leave, parental leave, and other such benefits normally guaranteed by law for employees.

Ask HN: Is it really a good time to switch jobs?
I know that I am probably overthinking but I would like to know your opinion on this:
Is it really a good time to change jobs? I'm receiving offers double my current salary but I'm a bit worried to change due to the latest uncertainties of the tech market and layoffs going on. I'm afraid to switch and since I'm the new guy on the job to be the easiest one to go. Of course that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be laid off from the current place that I'm at but I think the probabilities are lower since I already got some responsibility and experience and I know that the company business is doing pretty good.

Clearly, the situation was not good. If you have to pay Eu.250000 for a taxi license, that points to corruption and a cabal controlling supply artificially. While it can be argued that Uber needs to provide drivers more benefits, that was not what these protests were about. This was mostly about protecting cabals.

That's one of the reasons I oppose taxpayer-funded debt dismissal.

It's just not right to ask low-income taxpayers (including those who didn't go to college) to pay off the debts of those who did go-- and have a higher earnings potential.

It's also a great dis-service to those who have paid into Social Security for decades and now face a looming shortfall. Those people actually paid in and are going to have to deal with a benefit reduction, while the student borrowers took out and may potentially have their debts funded by the same taxpayers!
Then our cultures will actively penalize people who can sit still and be happy doing nothing. “laziness” is a cardinal sin and “lack of ambition” a critical issue.
I know a lot of people who apply for them... The vast majority of the projects everyone involved knows will shut up shop mere days after the funding ends. People buy equipment simply because they know they'll get to keep it after the project has folded. The whole team then pivots to the next project. There is zero chance of success of any of them - it's always more profitable to close down and use a different idea for the next round of fundings.

Maybe some of the projects will go somewhere, but there are a good chunk where even the project leads set off from the outset with the goal of getting as much EU money as possible and closing down as quickly as possible when the money stops.

Another day, another gadgetbahn. It's hard to tell from their website exactly what problems they're trying to solve. They seem to have taken all of the worst aspects of monorail style operations, the relative complexity of maglev, and the vendor lock-in of a gadgetbahn and have just run with it.

Off the top of my head:

From their rolling (gliding?) stock concepts it looks like they're targeting the automated metro system market, think London DLR or Vancouver Skytrain. With these system top speed isn't really the issue as you'll be constrained by acceleration and stop spacing. Better gains can be had in this space by building better signalling systems, allowing the trains to run at higher frequencies.

All of their marketing materials show the trains going in perfect straight lines. A lot of other monorail systems are constrained by this, because building switches for monorails is hard. Throw maglev into the mix and I can't imagine the problem gets any easier.

They focus a bit on ease of construction with the elevated rail segments being made of pre-cast concrete sections. I'm faily certain any modern elevated train guideway is also made of pre-made sections on a production line. They're trying to sell normal as some kind of innovation.

All the usual gadgetbahn things seem to apply as well. TSB goes bust? Good luck getting new rolling stock. Want to integrate this service with existing stations and track? Nope, it's all bespoke. Want to get rolling stock from a different supplier that can meet your local needs better? Good luck with that one. Nobody else buys this system, so it remains expensive forever? Sucks to be you.
Breyers frozen dessert would not melt if left standing and only melted slowly under running hot water. Didn’t think of torching it (we were discarding it). Isn’t food chemistry impressive?

In no possible universe am I planning to come back to the office full time. My WFH setup is convenient, much better equipped than my hotdesking space can ever be, and importantly - my commute to work is all of 30 seconds.

I like going to the office, I like meeting people there, I like having some meetings face to face. There's a time and place for everything, but for the office, that is no more than 2 days per week.
I feel like that was generally a property of everything everywhere though. I still remember sticking a fork into my VCR (probably made in USA?) or basically every car having something wrong with it.
