I get that, but there are differences. There's a huge number of problems that pop up on linux laptops. Things like special functions of keys not working (volume, LCD brightness, mute, switch to external video, etc). Then things like gestures on track pads. Waking up from sleep mode. Switching from iGPU to dGPUs. Not to mention various things like Lenovo disabling linux signed bootloaders, lying about PCI-ids so they can advertise some windows specific software RAID driver.

So sure the popular GPU chipsets, ethernet, wifi, etc have drivers. But the integration doesn't necessarily work, doubly so after sleep mode. There's a cottage industry of selling "good" wifi cards for laptops (like Lenovo) that work well with Linux to replace the "bad" wifi cards that don't work well with Linux. Other problems include controlling clock speeds of GPUs, memory chips, fan speeds, etc.

So sure there are some laptops that are known to work well, of if in particularly lucky your vendor (like System76 or Dell) supports linux. But often the "linux" flavor of the laptop has different hardware then the windows flavor, particularly because the drivers for some chips don't work well.

Most of the folks I know that used to run linux on laptops have given up, they don't want to tinker with PCI-id maps, disabling features to get idle/sleep modes working, etc. They just buy an apple laptop and everything works.
I have a co-worker who was in charge of the build system at WordPerfect back in the early 90's. He worked on the the UNIX edition and he managed the whole workflow using a series of Makefiles linked across various shared drives.

I'm pretty good at shell scripts but this guy is a master at his craft. Give him any problem and within a few minute he's got a series of piped statements through awk and a few other well-known tools.
> Azure support will have us recreate instances if there's a problem

Azure's network keeps randomly partitioning itself every few months, a bunch of VMs will be unable to talk in the same AZ with the same security policies etc, no changes at all for months. And yeah, they just tell us to recreate the instances which is a huge pain with Nomad. No one has ever shown any interest in figuring out what causes this, despite the fact that it's been happening for years.
And look at the per pupil spending compared to the national average. About half.

People say supply/demand but also they is price stickiness/anchoring.

A grad SF coder might make $200k but in Europe they might make $20k and I believer the main reason is that prices are sticky.

Like the housing market when you want to buy X you need to judge what X is worth and so you look to the market to see what other people are paying for X.

Candidates too are playing the same game.

The talent market acting like the stock market effectively.

This means SF companies have to be very profitable or grow fast.

A European company can plot along and be efficient, have bad sales etc. but survive on the cheap staff costs for a long time a a zombie.

It means any well tuned geo-arb company, selling in the US and paying locals outside can make a fortune.

Someone in 2050 “when i was young you could earn a fortune as a software engineer because for some reason they didn’t have the efficient global labour market we have now. Now that all the coders work for Uber Code many have decided electrical engineering is actually a better choice as it pays a bit more”
I bought OS/2 2.0, after scrimping and saving to bump my 386sx to 8 Mb RAM. It was pretty painful, but it could format a disk, download a file, and play solitaire without missing a beat once the disk swapping died down.

Anything else would slow to a crawl with the disk format.

(Also migrated to Warp, was pretty happy with that, too.)
Ask HN: Can web pages force Casting to other screens?
I've had a person report and send me a video that Chrome would begin casting what seemed to be a Instagram web page to a smart tv on the same wi-fi network, while his screen was sitting idle on a Chrome blank page. Unfortunately it was a shared wi-fi and he doesn't know where that TV is. This is inferred from a popup[0] appearing out of the Cast icon(?) next to Chrome's three-dots menu. I've instructed him to disable casting via chrome's flags, and am trying to understand whether private information could have leaked from this and how that happened. My guess for now would be "Web Presentation API" alongside a Instagram page misbehavior, in that case I imagine someone may have seen that web page and that alone, but am unsure as I'm not knowledgeable on the Web protocols. Or, in a worse scenario, someone in that wi-fi managed to force this action.

I don't think companies care about their reputation at all. Fear for their reputation didn't stop DuPont from knowingly poisoning people. It didn't stop Gerber from selling baby food loaded with dangerous levels of lead and other heavy metals.

Wasn't google caught illegally collecting hundreds of gigabytes of data from wifi networks already? They don't care.

The ONLY reason my family still has Netflix is that it is partially subsidized by our family T-Mobile plan.

This is not going to go well for them, and they know it, which is why they are trialing it in non-US territories first.

> As for their first point, statements of “pure opinion” are protected by the First Amendment in America. But New Zealand doesn’t have this. Statements of opinion are not categorically protected. Instead, it all comes down to “the honest-opinion defense”.

This is the most surprising part of this article to me. Not the NZ one, but the US one.

Does this mean you can say whatever you want in the US without risking be labeled libel? What if you're a victim of it (NOT saying in this case, but in general like personally)?

“Musks gets away with paying the ’things fell through on my end but without fault’ fee” (designed mostly for failure of financing despite Musk fulfilling his good faith commitments to make it happen) seems by far the least likely scenario, especially if the case reaches trial (it's just barely plausible as a settlement if it doesn't.)

Do note that commercial nurseries are generally licensed and inspected by your state agriculture department or some agency.

Not spreading plant diseases around ends up being a big deal.

However, the inspection and license is not very hard or expensive.

I thought solar panels (if still working) will be around 70-80% after 25 years, is that also why people are replacing them? Seems used solar panels could still be used as long as people know its degraded.

I have degraded rechargeable batteries, and I keep using them until they die, I just rotate them out to non critical items I dont care about.

Also, Those glass panels could be used for items like greenhouses? Building materials? People are building with car tires, should be something you could use non working ones for, or cutting out good cells, etc. Something.
My guess is that the Court picks a date in between what each party has requested. I do think it'll be closer to Twitter's proposed date than Musk's.

That said, I read both filings and thought Musk made a good argument that because the "drop dead date" specifically extends in the case of a legal dispute that both parties INTENDED that there was no need to rush a hearing beyond when financing expires. Where he goes wrong, I think, is his expectation of being owed significant discovery. Either this is a fishing expedition to find a justification after-the-fact, or else his briefing didn't outline key evidence of fraud that he's saving for later. My guess is the former, but we will see.

So I think we go a bit beyond the drop-dead date, but not much more because I don't think the judge wants a drawn-out process.
I don't know for your work environment, the last few companies I've worked for had a decent portion of their budget allocated to SaaS, from our ticketing system, customer support platform, marketing tools, BI, up to the hosting of our prod environment (and yes, they were also paying for Slack, and will probably continue doing so)

I see this as the same philosophy as leasing computers or company cars, relying on third party delivery companies to ship your goods etc. It's a business choice, and solving some of your problems with money is usually a valid strategy. When it stops making sense you reevaluate your options, check competitors etc.

PS: on pasting Slack text into tickets...it's really not optimal. If you really want the info in the ticket, spend the time to write a clear summary and still link to the original discussion. Formatting gets lost, or you're sticking screenshots of whole threads which is still horrible.

To note, our ticketing system is basically a fancy reminder/todo list and we're not SCRUM, if that gives more perspective into why time spent writing detailed tickets hasn't a stellar ROI.
As someone who was a self-taught programmer working through this book has been an absolute game changer for me. After learning about design recipes, type-driven development (although they may not use that term), function wish-lists, recursion, etc. I was able to easily tackle problems that would baffle me before. And my programs just worked with so fewer problems! I mostly build stuff w/ TypeScript/React and I've found the thought process to be very applicable and helpful.

That "court order" is from the FISA court, which may as well be a monkey with a rubber stamp. We learned that from the Snowden documents too.
A lot more refresh commands are issued. A single cell holds data for 64 milliseconds. But a refresh only refreshes a subset of the RAM, a full row. So to refresh an entire chip you need to refresh all rows which can be hundreds to thousands of rows. So in practice you need to issue refreshes every few microseconds to ensure you hit every cell at least once every 64ms.
If they have managed Google accounts they probably have admin on your device as well.

A change in Twitter's stock price presumably wouldn't matter; what you'd need to see is a 40%+ drop in Twitter's profitability or revenue.
Fielding isn't saying the client should know nothing about the meaning of the responses. He's saying that what the client knows about the meaning of the responses is derived by interpreting them according to the media type, which doesn't have to be HTML, rather than, for example, by looking at the URL. Quoting from what Fielding wrote in his post and comments:

> A REST API should be entered with no prior knowledge beyond the initial URI (bookmark) and set of standardized media types that are appropriate for the intended audience (i.e., expected to be understood by any client that might use the API). ...

> When I say hypertext, I mean the simultaneous presentation of information and controls such that the information becomes the affordance through which the user (or automaton) obtains choices and selects actions. Hypermedia is just an expansion on what text means to include temporal anchors within a media stream; most researchers have dropped the distinction.

> Hypertext does not need to be HTML on a browser. Machines can follow links when they understand the data format and relationship types.

That is, htmx.org or intercoolerjs.org might argue that "HATEOAS is [exclusively] for humans", but Roy Fielding doesn't agree, or didn't in 02008.

— ⁂ —

While I'm arguing, I'd also like to take exception to the claim that this discussion is irrelevant to anything people are doing today. It's an "old person battle," as some say, in the sense that old people are the people who have enough perspective to know what matters and what doesn't. REST matters, because it is an architectural style that enables the construction of applications that can endure for decades, permitting the construction of applications that evolve without a central administrator, remaining backwards-compatible with decades-old software, and can include billions of simultaneous users.

This is an important problem to solve, the WWW isn't the last such application anyone ever needs to build, and JSON RPC interfaces can't build one.

The trouble with redefining "REST" to mean "not REST" is that the first step in learning known techniques to solve a problem is learning the terminology that people use to explain the techniques. If you think you know the terminology, but you have the wrong definition in your mind, you will not be able to understand the explanations, and you will not be able to figure out why you can't understand them, until you finally figure out that the definition you learned was wrong.
I was scrolling through the recent submissions from Bellingcat and saw the one for "Food Delivery Leak Unmasks Russian Security Agents"* and thought about this article. Then also about the time when the company I was working for was shopping around for an acquisition. I went for lunch at a local restaurant and the owner mentioned "Hey, we're doing catering for you guys next Friday, what's up?" Well shit, I guess they closed the deal! It hadn't been announced yet but they'd gone through all the prep. for an all-hands meeting.

No. The question of whether a claim is of opinion or fact is itself an objective question of fact. “Donald Trump is an evil man” is a opinion claim, and cannot be libel.

“Donald Trump murdered his bastard son” is a fact claim and could (potentially) be libel.
Another interesting metric for you, the average Icelander wastes 8x the electricity an EU mainland counterpart does.
Purely anecdotal conjecture, but I’m guessing it’s more prevalent in men because more and more of the stereotypical machismo male bonding activities have become illegal, cost prohibitive, and/or frowned upon in the past few decades. There have been strong feminist movements that take aim at masculinity and seek to silence or subvert men in the past decade. Combined with the stereotypical breadwinner responsibility, lack of concern with mens’ struggles as a social norm, and the need for male friends to not be too emotionally available to avoid coming across as more than platonic friends.

Because work still sucks?

In spite of being able to work from home, I'm still working on pointless nonsense that is being mismanaged and likely to never become a real product but instead peter out and die due to lack of vision and follow-through and constantly changing priorities, my wages are not rising with inflation, my career is not being developed as I was promised and I'm stuck doing heavy lifting that I was assured was temporary? And on top of all this, in the middle of a virus spike, my management chain is giving me some line about some theoretical synergistic boost from working in the office and pushing to end WFH, because they'd rather be wardens in the panopticon then actually responsibly manage staff and a project?

I presume the situation is comparable in a lot of places, and I am entirely unsurprised that people are quitting.

If I can’t use my Netflix subscription (on a TV) when staying in an AirBnb or similar when traveling, I’ll just cancel it. This seems to be such a straightforward use case that I can’t believe they’ll risk angering their customers over this.
Agreed...

Pure conjecture on my part, and I haven’t worked in this area but I had lots of friends in gov security and mobile standards groups.

Nobody I’ve talked to thinks it’s possible to stay anonymous on any commercial cellular network.

You might be able to push a few anonymous phone calls or surf a few hours but soon your typical browsing habits, app usage and contacts will match you up with similar existing profiles based purely on the metadata.

Honestly just narrowing it down to a few dozen people is good enough to get unmasked.

I found HTDP a lot easier to read and work through because it works through more "practical" problems (like building a game) whereas SICP gets into some pretty heady math based problems. Also see this article that explains how it takes a different approach to teaching recursion. I found this approach very understandable and helpful.

Uhoh, Netflix is in trouble. Lots of people are cancelling because they don't like the price, now their solution is to start cracking down and charging more. This will be a long slow decline where competition fights its way in.

The hard part for corporations to understand and get behind, is cheap is better, coming in at a very low prices picks up lots of people and goodwill, and starves competition.

Netflix used to be the example of low price for great value.
JSON is syntactically valid JavaScript, why do you say it's not compatible with JavaScript?
Rust can include different versions of the same library (crate) in a single project just fine. As long as those are private dependencies, no conflicts would happen. A conflict would happen only if two libraries pass around values of a shared type, but each wanted a different version of the crate that defines the type.

I can't see a reason why Go would be different.

I read the ruling. It is apparently because of this law in the US statutes: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/1782 which authorizes a judge to "order [some person] to produce a document or other thing for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal ... The order may be made ... upon the application of any interested person"

It is mostly up to the judge's discretion, but case law establishes 4 discretionary factors to consider: 1) whether the request is from a potential lawsuit participant, 2) nature of the tribunal 3) whether discovery can be obtained by other means, and 4)whether compliance is burdensome.

This see thru video was much more interesting to me just because of how much more visible everything was. Sure, the slo-mo helped a lot in being a better video, but the device itself did as well.

The build of the jet engine was well done, but just the visibility isn't nearly as visible into what's actually going on inside. Sure, you can see the metal casing of the combustion chamber get red hot, but it just didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for. This is not a knock on the person making the video. Sometimes you get snake eyes after all of that effort. Sometimes you roll seven, and get even better than hoped for. All in the day of the life of a content creator.

I often wondered why my fancy Xfinity DVR is so sluggish when I press a button on the remote. It finally connected when my Internet kept going down after some improvement they made and when the Internet could not be reached, the system stops responding to the remote. Can't even pause or exit. It's clear that every button press must make a round trip to Comcast' servers before it is acted on. It's Craptastic!
