Heating the peppers/anything in an open drum is probably far from optimal. To reach high temperature one may concentrate the beam on a way smaller black metal pipe isolated from the air by using i.e quartz tube. Then pump the hot air through an thermo isolated rotating container.
One of our stakeholders just told my project manager (who was needlessly bugging the stakeholder over email) that "We may need to rethink our communication strategy", which is corpspeak for, "If you send me one more goddamn email about this I will gut you like a fish".
Honestly, I'm still not sure, why would I use something like RocksDB instead or in addition to plain PostgreSQL/MongoDB/Redis instances.

I don't work with a lot of data, but typically my decisions base on basic factors and purpose:

PostgreSQL - SQL, structured data, cannot scale horizontally

MongoDB - NoSQL, unstructured data

Redis - key-value, distributed cache

I get it that you can replace storage engine and you can theoretically get more performance, but in practice compatibility and standardization is more important, because a lot of products (including third-party) will already use PostgreSQL/MongoDB/Redis, so it's no-brainer to use it as well for your solution.

However for me to pick RocksDB or some other, new, shining database/storage engine, there would have to be more compelling reasons.
And unfortunately the kind of thing that compliance flags as a big no-no once you've got any kind of filing or privacy requirements.
Just depends what you care about. All the games I care about, from Baldur’s Gate to Crusader Kings to emulated games, are best enjoyed in my bed or couch on my laptop.
My desktop feels more niche for my preferences since only a few games I care about require sitting at a desk in “FPS position”. I had more fun building the thing than using it.

It is probably one of the most difficult things to prove given the secrecy of such arrangements, but I have to assume that in order for many of these services to operate in countries, governments require concessions be they data sharing or placement of their people in operations like this.

If the preconditions arent met but you are sure they are, yes.
I'm beginning to think that there's no right answer, because the ideal crawling rules depend a lot on what type on content you're seeking, which obviously can't be known up front.

I'm working on a federated search tool. I've built a few different sectors (I've called them "realms") that I care about (programming, automotive, racing, fediverse) and found that I need pretty different heuristics depending. Example: car forums circa ~2005 are a treasure trove of valuable information, but 17 year old posts about programming are (in general) less interesting. That informs a lot about how URLs need or do not need to be re-crawled.

Relevant copypasta:

Fellow humans, there are alternatives to being tracked via cell phone! Your neck need not be under anyone's boot! You don't even need to give up any functionality:

Data service:

The simplest thing is to buy a prepaid SIM and top it off with cash. The lovely people over at /r/nocontract maintain a big spreadsheet so you can filter by various properties of the available contracts.

Another way to go is to pay for a postpaid plan with a virtual credit card (VCC) like at privacy.com. It won't be linked to your name at the telco, but of course privacy.com knows who you are. There is also Abine Blur, and some others.

Yet a third way to go, which is nascent, is buy an eSIM with crypto. You can also buy prepaid VCCs with crypto.

All these methods make you /pseudo/nymous, but obviously you're still identifiable by subscriber number and possibly IMEI, to put aside correlational things like your traffic profile. You can help this problem by routing everything through a VPN. Then you're pseudonymous but the cell carrier knows nothing about you other than that you use a VPN. Pay for the VPN with crypto. Of course now the VPN provider knows your traffic, but you're much more anonymous to them than you are to a telco. You make your choices. Defense in depth. Etc.

OS:

GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/ Very much like Calyx, but extra-hardened and with no MicroG. No involvement with Google at all by default. You can make a secondary profile in which you install Google Play Services to set up an environment where you can run unprivileged Play services + whatever crapware you need that requires them. Unprivileged here means it's like any other app: if you don't give it access to your location, it won't know where you are. If you end the profile session when you leave, Play Services stops running and stops talking to Google.

CalyxOS: https://calyxos.org/ Privacy-respecting Android distribution that replaces Google spyware with MicroG, so you can have your cake and eat it too. Most everything will work as you're used to, but it does still talk to Google to make that happen.

LineageOS: https://lineageos.org/ The successor to CyanogenMod, will work with many different phones. More privacy and control than stock Android.

There are also many others: Sailfish, Replicant, e

Hardware:

CalyxOS and GrapheneOS run best on Pixel 3, 3a, 3XL, 4, 4a, 4XL, 5, 6, 6a. The path of least resistance is to get one of these phones and run CalyxOS (if there is an app you need to use that needs Google services like Firebase Cloud Messaging...note that many that can use FCM will run fine without), otherwise run GrapheneOS.

You can also buy a Librem 5 https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ If privacy and security and hacking are really important to you.

Or a pinephone: https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/
Sort of.

You can use Google to push targeted messaging to people based on the dossiers you collect.

They don’t sell the dossier, but they can leverage it. In many cases they can make inferences without the dossier. For example, you can target anti-opioid or anti-extremist materials at people identified as risks.

For example, you can target every pregnant woman in a geography and score her risk of giving birth to a child with an opioid addiction. That child will cost a health insurer ~$2M, so targeted ads that convert to intervention are very high value.

Where it gets weird is you can reverse engineer the dossier at scale. You can target very specific conditions without google “selling” that data to you. If you’re a 50 year old male searching for divorce attorneys who moved 6 times, the context of searching for “pain killers” or “target range” may have a different context than if you’re an 18 year old athlete booking a cabin in rural Maine.

I’m usually interested to here what other people do as a selfish endeavor because people usually do or work for something at least moderately interesting. If someone doesn’t want to talk about it, there’s plenty of ways for them to steer the convo away from work.

Great product idea. Cameras already have panorama & HDR modes, it's not super far-fetched to imagine selecting an object present on different frames and having the camera compose it, or even having the camera choose the relevant object automatically.

The problem would be to put this in a camera for kids. If I judge by my own, kids are expert at breaking things. So the camera would have to be super strong, and super cheap, so that replacing it when it inevitably breaks isn't too painful.

Interesting constraints...
that isn't a fair comparison though. Small farms grow high value crops that need a lot of labor, large farms that grow the same crops are even more productive (not by much though), except that there isn't enough demand to support a large farm growing those crops. There is a large demand for corn, so a lot of large farms grow it.

Americans want privacy. There isn't consensus around the acceptable level of tradeoffs [1][2].

> was a time when most people didn't understand the cost of cigarettes and tobacco, but that problem was solved through government intervention

In 1964, the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee marked a turning point for smoking in America [3].

The government intervention followed evidencing harm, public discussion and massive changes in public behavior. We are still in the first phase for ad-funded tech.

Those seem like fairly arbitrary lines to draw. If I told you that the worst case scenario for your board game night is that you offend someone to the point where they pull out a gun and shoot you you would probably tell me that's an event that's so unlikely it's not worth considering.

Similarly I feel like choosing to not socialize in a normal way at work because someone might get you fired, while not as unlikely as getting shot, is still incredibly unlikely and not worth considering. This does assume a base level of social competence of course.
Oh, that reminds me of debates with the snowflakes in the particle physics department when You dare to doubt the mantra that "nuclear energy is the solution to climate change" :-)

How is it any harder than giving users a captcha?
My thinking would be this:

* If you have a subdomain for your blog(example: blog.mydomain.com) then you don't need /posts

* if you don't have subdomain, you can use /posts, to distinguish between regular pages of your site and blog articles. Because you might have mydomain.com/about and mydomain.com/contact pages

* Don't put metadata such as publish dates as it can be modified or changed in the future. Also it's relative.

* As for example 3, you would probably need it in case when you have lots of articles and there might be a slug collision. I wouldn't worry about that unless you are media organization
The article links to the default (cheaper) configuration. The video simply says it's the $1,849 configuration of the Dell XPS 13 Plus (I didn't listen to all the audio, but that section was very light on details.) Playing with the configurator, I could get $1,859 by bumping up to the i7-1280P with Windows 11 Pro and a few other tweaks.
I watch a lot of survival/catch/clean/cook videos on youtube just in case.

These blog posts are such low effort too it makes me cringe.

1) Read $popular_book

2) Have it tell you what to do

3) Blog about chapter, quote, section of said $popular_book

4) Keep you in the loop for SV/VC/Hacker/Founder-sphere because if you don't have a presence your startup doesnt matter.

I'm overly generalizing a bit, and I think the blogger probably had good intentions (i.e. me overreacting) but I feel like these types of posts are more virtue signaling and a waste of time vs smart people wanting an online book club.
I think the relationship with ambient light may be important, but shouldn't the trend have gone the other way for the latter 19th and early 20th centuries then? As more people shifted from being involved in some form of agricultural or other outdoor manual labor to factory and office jobs, wouldn't we have seen a greater demand for bright colors as people spent more time inside?
An interesting idea: Do the programming languages in the IEEE top list match the languages most often discussed on HN's front page? Some languages on HN's front home reflect popularity (or oversized influence?) - the inverse of the IEEE rankings.

Just to be clear, overall HN stories reflect very varied programming language discussions.
Remote only works when everyone in the company are 100% remote
For me it's actually about game development, so I'm running things like Unity and baking light maps and things like that, which I absolutely do on the go in coffee shops or whatnot. The battery life is actually pretty decent. Nowhere close to a macbook but I don't have to be plugged in all the time either.

I'm not sure I'd call it niche. No I'm not playing counterstrike in a coffee shop, but it can be fun to bring it over to a friends house. I haven't bought a desktop since 2014, I like having the freedom to work from anywhere and not have to move files between computers all the time. When I have it at home I have it hooked into 3 monitors and a full size keyboard, and it runs pretty quiet, so it's not really any different from having a desktop in that regard.

YMMV though. Most of what I do with a computer even besides games needs a very powerful GPU. If you're working with docker and webdev I'd just get a macbook. My only point is that apple doesn't have a pure monopoly on performance, as impressive as their new silicon is there's some things it's still not so good at.
Yeah, mITX especially is super limiting.

But ATX cases are pretty obnoxiously large, especially for anybody who has been buying HP or dell or the like desktops, where the Full ITX cases look mosterous in comparison.

microATX size is probably more of a sweet spot. Smaller, but at least you are not completely .

I would have done microATX on my last system update, but I was going with Ryzen, and the only microATX boards available at the time with the better chipsets just had poor overall quality, failed to pack in a lot of rear IO to compensate, etc. I think the intel side microATX offering may have been better.

I've dove into PD vs Max quite a bit the last few months, and I've found PD to be a bit... archaic in it's design and how it looks.

Max looks much nicer, but they both have the same problem: Lack of community.

I expected to be able to treat PureData or Max like any other programming language: find a book, watch some tutorials, and get up to speed.

Additionally, there isn't really a central "repo" for PureData. I want to search through patches that people have shared for learning and re-use purposes. However, I am unable to find such a thing.
How tied are these examples to the tech industry? When I see the word 'corpspeak,' I think more about the language of company memoes, materials, and press releases rather than the words used by managers.

That's fair but arguably the value exchange of searching for something and being served ads for that is significantly better than me signing up for a mortgage and now being bombarded by ads for life insurance.

Alternative narrative: Google and Facebook are directly threatening news media while DataLogix isn't and therefore doesn't get the attention that it ought to get.
> Because someone will just fill their shoes after they leave.

The fact that dictators are usually replaced by dictators doesn't mean dictators aren't actually the problem. This is akin to the common argument that other, bad people are also doing the same thing that I'm doing, therefore what I'm doing is good, or at least morally neutral.

Just because there are people just as bad as you that can replace you doesn't make you not bad.

> The answer has to be regulation that sits above and beyond the corporations. Nationwide or global standards of behaviour, enforced by law, that set basic ground rules for what is permissible in the market.

We say this as if the institutions that would define and enforce this behavior aren't subject to the same self-interest as Google management. Soon, plenty of them will be ex-Google (and other tech) management, to which they'll return after delivering.

What "we" need to do is dismantle and descope large institutions. But since there's really no "we" what we each need to do is protect ourselves from these institutions by creating smaller federated defensive institutions of narrower scope, and treating the Googles and the USAs of the world like the weather, or more accurately like natural disasters or invasive species.

I don't see these as mutually exclusive philosophies. You can choose to make an action out of relaxing by voting to not be a strung-out stressed person that is pressured to do things all the time. That person isn't fun at parties. You can vote to de-stress for a few hours or a whole day on occasion.

I personally find this philosophy useful and follow it myself. I intentionally choose what I spend my time on. I make a list of priorities, then I allocate time to those priorities on a spreadsheet. If I run out of time, I drop priorities and make more time. I factor in social time where I can choose to go out or stay in, depending on how I am feeling that day.

What I don't appreciate it the philosophy that most people seem to embrace which is "externalize everything but my job and what feels good". I feel like it's important to hone a variety of skills, and sometimes doing that isn't exactly fun. I think it's more justifiable to delegate once you know how to do a job well. There are exceptions, but there really are not a lot of them.

Just wanted to say: nice job! :)

I can fully understand you burning out on something like this. How about declaring a time-out period where development is paused while you take a break? Maybe triage bug reports and feature requests in the meantime, but take some time to yourself to recover and reset your perspectives.

Just a thought.
> into parity with the government.

lol, as it if were some kind of competition. The reality is the surveillance state knows no real boundaries. The federal intelligence agencies can get whatever they want with little or no friction. Most requests don't even rise to the level of a NSL, which is the "sudo" of "give me all your data on X". In reality there is a range of cooperative behaviors anywhere from a payments system to wholly owned subsidiary to warrant. The government loves the innovation that the private surveillance market has come up with. It's a buffet at this point.
People upthread are saying Apple's OOW price for an MBA screen replacement is in the $500-600 range. The new self service program will sell you one for $300 if you return the old part, or $400 if you don't. Seems like it's perfectly possible to save money doing it this way.
Makes you wonder how it got past the PR team.

Because in most companies the PR team is near the bottom of the list of influence. Only slightly above coders. Certainly well below bean counters, salesfolk, and anyone with a TLA.
