If you mean password manager, sure. But I was thinking of e-mails received, how would I know if the emails came from the "right" sites? Would have to open up a text file, or login to my password manager, just to check. I do not think that is a great way to keep track of it.
In 2007 or 2008 I remember I spent 4 hours installing one supposedly preconfigured Windows OEM machine.

Meanwhile Linux had live installers.

Driver hunting was still part of a normal Windows installation, meanwhile for many standard configurations Ubuntu worked out of the box or with trivial (apt-getable) additions.

Also I tried to carefully qualify it. There were absolutely cases were Windows would be easier.
People will under-deliver when there is no clear outcome or agenda for their work. Within the office the pressure of contributing to work is provided because others can see what you have on your screen and if its not "work". You contribute because you have to, not because you feel that your outputs are moving the needle in a positive direction.

When you WFH that changes ('aint nobody watching your screen but you) but the underlying problem still remains. The team are not working towards a clear goal that they understand and want to achieve. When you provide that, the team will always contribute effectively because its interesting and importantly allows them to feel like their work means something.

WFH productivity is not the problem. Managers providing worthy work is.
I am pretty sure, that if you have a product guy waiting for you to code you don’t need the product guy. If you can code it, you can sell it and keep that 50% share. At some time building stops and one enters bug fixing/feature implementation phase that is less intense than initial creation from zero to product.
I do wish DigitalOcean would support WebAuthn/FIDO2. Meaning I could use my Yubikey and other hardware tokens I have.

Instead they only supported TOTP (Google Authenticator is one implementation) second factor which is vulnerable to phishing attacks. But still better than SMS or nothing at all.
Ehh. Being kicked out of your home is being removed, even if it's perfectly legal. Fixed-term rental contracts are nearly entirely immoral imo.

And while an accurate depiction of how this affects the people who were barely hanging on in the first place, there is a later step, where people who /have/ been renting all their lives in one area find themselves unable to continue to pay rent. You're not necessarily a homeowner if you're not at constant risk of homelessness.

I've seen this while squatting; our neighbours were people who had lived in the same community for 70 years, and their option once the landlord had decided to tear the building down and replace it with "luxury apartments" was far away from everyone they had known all their lives. There were several similar stories in the area.
Going from Lisp to Python, the one place I see it might be amazing is in the REPL. But it is way too much in your face as it currently is, and needs a lot of work. Maybe it's suggestions should be off to the side or something. Somehow it has to be made less annoying.

It drives me nuts in the editor because it helps just a little, but then needs just as keen an eye to spot it's wonkiness as you normally need to see your own coding wonkiness. I tried it a few times but I just keep abandoning it until I remember next time.

Then, it is way too easy to get stuck in these annoying loops where it keeps telling you the same suggestions repeatedly. It'll happily suggest the same 3 lines 20 times in succession, and treat that as normal code. I don't know what triggers it, but I have managed to see it far too often in this intro period.

I think the concept on the right track, destined to be brilliant. But is too much like a hired hand that sometimes says smart things, and otherwise constantly needs attention and correction. It can be really jolting to the flow.

I'm currently not a fan. I'm probably outnumbered by fans, though. I haven't used it for weeks as it is, so I doubt I'm going to pay for it's current incarnation.
We used to have one of the top range email marketing software at work. Emails, such as info@, contact@ and some others are automatically excluded and you can't even send any marketing to those.
Yeah: I do it when the max operations or bandwidth per disk is less than what I "should get" for the size and cost allocated. I had last done this long enough ago that they simply had much smaller maxes, but I recently am doing it again as I have something like 40TB of data and I split it up among (I think) 14 drives that can then be one of the cheapest EBS variants designed more for cold storage (as the overall utilization isn't anywhere near as high as would be implied by its size: it is just a lot of mostly dead data, some of which people care much more about).
Its very common issue. Decreasing transaction execution times for any type of request is the main goal for any data processing platforms.
Why are you stuck in your house 24/7? Don’t you have anything better to do?
None of these examples are of theories like our current hot Big Bang model getting ruled out by observation, with no better theory replacing them, which is what the post I was responding to claimed can happen.

The first, in fact, is not even finalized yet, because there are still unresolved issues about the actual value of the Hubble constant: different sets of observations point at different values and the discrepancy is not fully understood. (Google "Hubble Tension" for much more.) But this whole general line of research is not about "ruling out" a theory, and it's certainly not about putting some better theory in its place; it's about refining our existing theoretical model by adding more and more reasonably confirmed detail about the actual distribution of matter and energy in the universe and its actual expansion history.

The second is a particular kind of hypothetical particle that has never been observed, still never having been observed. That doesn't "rule out" the existence of that kind of particle with 100% certainty. It just means we still haven't observed it. (Even the article you reference notes that there are still axion models that have not been ruled out.) And it doesn't change our best current model of the universe at all.

The third "rules out" a class of models that nobody has ever used. Similarly, the fourth "rules out" a model that was not even built to be used, but was expected to be ruled out, at least at the level of accuracy of these particular measurements. (That accuracy, as I understand it, is still well short of the Planck scale, which is where most physicists expect any "quantization" of spacetime itself to show up.) These results are useful in that they narrow the space of possible models that scientists might consider trying to use in the future; but they bear no resemblance whatever to what Eric Lerner claims (incorrectly, in my view) is shown by the James Webb telescope observations, which he claims "rule out" the entire Big Bang model.
So you can have a meeting in person and/or work on hardware that's on site. That's the only reason to go to the office these days.
Ask HN: Odds Neumann buys WeWork for pennies on the dollar in the next decade?
Litestream is simpler for backups/disaster recovery. pg_dump -> S3 gives you a snapshot, but you then have to start worrying about time windows between backups and restore processes. Litestream does per second backups enabling point in time restores with 2 commands. Every time you want to upgrade Postgres you are going to have to manage that yourself, again, pg_dump -> S3 and back with possible issues around versions of pg_dump etc. I'm not trying to say these are insurmountable or even big issues, they are just trade offs.

For the right use cases, SQLite's embedded nature can provide simplicity other offerings can't. Is Postgres able fill more use cases? Absolutely, it is an amazing piece of software.
Communication is great for organizations, but I don't understand what you are getting in person that you don't get over zoom talking about whatever you need to talk about. It's not like the entire org is talking to eachother at once in person. At best you talk to like a handful of people a day, probably a good amount of that talk has nothing to do with work. Meanwhile with zoom I've been having so many more directed meetings with key people. Like before, we would sit in this in person meeting and say something like "it would be nice to get Steve's input on this, if he were here in this meeting" and now with zoom we can actually get steve in the meeting. We meet with people from around the world who might have relevant input.

If your issue with wfh is team isolation, just have more meetings and get better at communicating. The issue is not the venue, its the event.
Software patents aren't a thing where I live, but besides even in USA they don't apply to gameplay AFAIU.

You can run craiyon / dalle-mini on a card with 8GB of VRAM if you decrease batch size to 1 and skip the CLIP step. Takes about 7 sec to generate an image on a 3070.

They jumped the gun with this announcement. I get wanting to share the excitement of AI doing something cool with the world (I've been there) but they should've waited until it's accessible to the public.
I've just started using SerchXNG. How often (if at all) do they add smaller search engines like this one as options in your experience?

I was hoping to be able to use some esoteric ones, but that doesn't seem possible, unless I've overlooked something.

Being able to aggregate a couple of these up-and-coming engines with result reduplication sounds really neat.
Sure, but that only matters when you get up to a fairly high percentage of light speed. We’ve never even approached 1% of light speed. The fastest space craft is NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. It has reached 0.05% of light speed.
Backing not just 1 but 2 investments of Neumann seems strange. Having said that, there must be some due diligence or arbitrage identified. I wouldn't write this one off.
There's a couple of factors that companies might be taking into account when considering RTO

- We can fire people that don't want to come back (avoids legal issues with layoffs/firing and directly saves money)

- Managers need to see people working and be seen working (people justifying their position - but hard to say if this actually saves money)

- We're paying for office space (Apple just paid a lot and can't just give up their lease)

- The C-suite's mansions are close by and they need to visibly show they're working/earning their pay

Few of these things make sense for a company engaged in profit generation - except getting rid of people and amortizing a fixed/sunk cost. Are there any other reasons that "someone" would want people back in person? Is it really that much more productive to make people get ready for an office (cleaning up, putting on appropriate clothing, etc) and commuting in?
> Like you pointed out, Postgres works in everything from tiny apps to global scale SaaS.

So does SQLite.
Kanji in Context targets intermediate/advanced students that already know at least a few hundred kanji, and it doesn't provide mnemonics or radicals or anything. It's fundamentally just a list of words to memorize, which through doing so teaches you the most common/jōyō readings. There's a bit more to it than that with the workbooks, etc. but overall it's much more streamlined that WaniKani.

This is why SF was so amazing in its heyday (still is, but much less than pre-pandemic days). Just being here offered so many opportunities for networking, and it compounded the longer you stayed and were actively going out.

I would say that in today's remote-first world, building in public (and learning in public[1]) is the best way to get the attention of the stakeholders you desire -- not just prospective cofounders, but also investors, customers, partners, and contributors. (An aside -- this is one of many reasons I believe that commercial open source in particular has a very bright future.)

Some tangible ideas: Be active on twitter, start a podcast, write blog posts, stream on YT, deliver meetup/conference talks. Once you are more in the public eye, living in a Tier 1 city is the next step as it gives you a greater chance of meeting the people who discover you online!

no. but i would rather good healthcare tied to employment then mediocre healthcare that's not. it doesn't seem like other countries have been able to achieve good healthcare not tied to employment so i think it's better to focus on liberalizing the market.

btw it was the ridiculous wage and price controls that led to employers adding healthcare as a benefit... so doesnt seem like more government gonna fix it.
We have proved it. See last few years.
The commercial real estate market has no reason to collapse. In these cities with a lot of vacant office space, like NYC today, what do you also have? Enormous demand for apartment housing. Land owners never lose money in these hot markets where apartments are leased the day they are put to market. Your building could burn down and it doesn't matter, the money is in the deed to the dirt and the zip code, and the potential rents that this piece of dirt in this zip code can yield based on the zoning of the property.
> For people who actually care about security and not just compliance, there's no real job market at all. Companies never hire for this kind of role.

Can't agree more! This is the sad truth as you say.

This is the space I work in and to find a team who actually cares about building a secure product against reasoned threat models is as rare as winning the lottery.

Roles with great pay are easy to find in the policy and process side of security though.
It, in fact, is true.
Background check is a requirement for regular gun sales as well, except private person-to-person sales - in practice, this is the vast majority of transfers.

ATF can be more thorough with NFA items because the law doesn't have a limit on how long they can look at you, unlike those regular NICS checks which have a hard limit - but the list of things that makes one ineligible to own is the same.

As far as residency, you have to be a resident somewhere in US, but you don't need to be a permanent resident / green card. A student or a work visa is good enough, combined with proof of current residency (such as utility bill with your name and address).

This isn't quite what OP asked for, of course - you can't have one "shipped to your doorstep" - but this is also true for most regular firearms (there's a collector license that enables this for some old guns).
I think it's important that you know the other person for a good amount of time (a few years, maybe?) before starting a company. Ideally, you have worked with this person closely.

The best answer to your question is: At work.

If you think somebody might be a good potential co-founder that you know, ask them. Don't assume that they are not interested in building something with you. You never know what people think, and even if they say no today, they might come back around in the future.

Good luck!
In 2008 or so, Steve Abney (Michigan, linguistics) suggested this book to me while we were discussing a meaning-is-use theory of semantic content. I went straight to the library to get it but their copy was out. Never did get it. Happy to have it now.
Or, if they want more people in the area, they could zone for housing in these downtowns that they previously hollowed out the housing for to build these offices and their parking lots.
Various methods to deliver real time notifications from server to browser
Exactly this; people who chose to live in a suburban hell with a 2 hour driving commute chose that path for themselves. I have no sympathy if they are reluctant to come back to the office.
For some very real modern full-stack workloads, the network is the problem. It implies a separate database tier, and network latency for every query. The latency is managed by careful query design, but a valid alternative to that work is to move the database closer to the app --- within NVMe latency rather than network latency. A key part of this idea is recognizing that reads have different requirements than writes, and that many applications are overwhelmingly read-intensive.

Awesome! As someone who uses a lot of ProPresenter this looks really impressive.

The calendar view looks like a useful innovation.

Thanks for sharing it! I use Looks, NDI, and Resi in ProPresenter most of the time yet I am eager to see where this project goes for all kinds of new productions.
yeah but notice it's not people traveling to OECD free healthcare countries. it's mostly going to cheaper developing countries with clinics a lot like the oklahoma one i linked that specialize in procedures and offer them at reasonable prices.

private care over there just isn't the same. and yeah i dealt with insurance and specialists before and it sucks but at least money makes a difference and more money makes more difference and it's not just "lol get on the list and stfu"
my 2 cents is that "if only I had X I could get started with Y" type of things are often excuses one makes themselves why they haven't started yet, if you need somebody to work on your idea a "fat" paycheck goes a long way hiring freelancers over the pond, if you need an idea, because the end goal is "having a startup" just take an existing product, put a spin on it and go, although having a peer pushing each other through tough times is fantastic, you need to be aware of each others expectation, maybe they want to work on it full time, maybe only after hours, maybe they (or you) get an even fatter offer, would you say no to that, would they?
Coffee shops are nice but only for short periods of work. It's definitely untenable if everyone starts to stay for more than 3 hours.

You run GNU/Linux because you believe in free software. It's not surprising that you run into problems when developing nonfree software for it.
When I'm not working at peak efficiency, it's usually because:

- I don't have enough autonomy to perform my job at a high level.

- I don't have enough purpose, I'm bored, or I'm working on a lingering problem that only exists because corners were cut to meet deadlines.

- Burnout from poor work-life-balance, or operating in crisis mode for too long.

- Working under a manager that micro-manages, or has poor people skills.
Healthcare efficiency costs in the US are huge.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/infographics/most-efficie...

We certainly pay for healthcare in the UK through taxation. It's pretty efficient. Hospitals aren't nice and shiny and medical people get paid a lot less though. I'll take that trade off myself anyday.
If we get to the point where the choice is between starving on the street or going to an office, then sure I'll go to an office. But as long as there's at least a few companies hiring that offer fully remote, I'll find a way to make those roles work even if it's a bad team-fit or culture-fit otherwise.
I think the question to ask is, do users need access to data created by other users?

If not then that is the use-case for SQLite.

It could still collect data to the server on a delayed basis for the benefit of the app-owners and for back-ups but that is not time-critical.
I'm not in the US, but last weekend we had a family gathering and were discussing buying a place in a small village a bit further out from all the city action. On paper it checks out: prices are low, the scenery is beyond fantastic, quiet and you can still drive up to a city or some local town fairly easily. But then we started talking negatives: unemployment, poverty, higher crime rates than you'd like it to be,etc. Unless the place is populated by people of similar socioeconomic status, it's likely to be a tough going from day one.

Moreover, many people are using ORMs which are going to hide the differences in a simple datetime query like that behind their query compilers.
glibc 2.34 has a hard break where you cannot compile with 2.34 and have it work with older glibc versions even if you use those version headers. It will always link __libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.34 (it's some kind of new security hardening measure, see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23323).

Since additionally you also need to build all your dependencies with this same trick, including say libstdc++, it's really easiest to take GP's advice and build in a container with the old library versions. And nothing beats being able to actually test it on the old system.

People are getting offers, which are so insane, a friend of mine, more like a distant friend of a friend recently got a total comp package of slightly over 250k per year.

He only has to go in 2 days per week, and it's pretty flexible. You can make the days up.

But he's also the type of person who really likes to get out of the house, they own dogs so often he'll just need to get out of there.
Some sympathy is in order because house pricing can definitely have a big impact on the amount of “choice” you have.
Game developers...
Right, and if a project is small enough to only need a small app server, it's probably small enough to just run the DB on the same server in the background.
