I agree about the idea of pulling the alarm handle when some state goes wrong. However the problem is the notion that the problem is in the code (after all, exceptions cancel the scheduled code). No, the problem is in an individual object / data structure, and as I said simply cancelling all the stuff is fine for a script (or a web request handler if you want) but I don't think that's how you build complex, reliable and deterministically performing systems.
How -> history API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API

It was designed to accommodate highly JS-driven sites/apps, where user rarely, if ever, clicks on regular <a href="">, but notion of "going back" is still a thing.

Of course, this API also opened floodgates to all sorts of scammers.
Sus doesn't mean "not acceptable".

Anyway, "against some mandatory measures" is an understatement. He's literally an antivaxxer and it's not just about COVID. E.g.: https://twitter.com/unconed/status/1558063608772366337

You don't have to go far back in his Twitter timeline to also see him bashing the trans movement, green energy and Ukraine. He's definitely hateful and bigoted.

Yea I noticed that, but what do they specifically not like about the NDA? afaik, HackerOne still makes vulnerability disclosure possible (and automatic if taking too long?)
And also make the default, non-dongle, headphones they buy from us over a hundred dollars more expensive now that we don’t provide headphones in the box anymore.
IMO using Linux in such benchmarks for both chips is like comparing a monkey and a goldfish by it's ability to climb trees.
Fast implementations of std::mutex spin for a bounded amount of time before yielding, if you unlock the mutex fast enough it will have roughly the performance of a spinlock and if your locking thread gets interrupted by the scheduler, other threads waiting for the mutex will stop spinning and yield.

I already mentioned real time scheduling which is well outside of the scope of the vast majority of userspace applications.
Are you sitting at your keyboard? Are you reading documentation and clicking around? Or sketching something out? Sounds hands on to me, keep the timer running. Are you listening to a podcast while cooking and thinking about code sporadically? Timer off.
The point is that it isn't a question of "red" states not wanting women to have high paying jobs.
Yeah I sometimes worry that we will be creating a much more fragile human race because of modern tech. Will C-section over thousands of years cause us to be unable to procreate naturally. Many genetic abnormalities that used to mean you die now easily allow you to reach the age you can have children, keeping those genes in the gene pool. It's kind of scary.

And I say that as someone that would have died the first day on this earth without modern medicine.

On the other hand there is a good chance we master genetic modification to such a level we could just manually fix our genes.
If other cloud platforms can trust and accept them why on earth can't GCP?
Summary of the FT article:

- Investment bank Citigroup forecasts UK inflation will hit 18.6 per cent in January 2023 — the highest peak in almost half a century — because of soaring wholesale gas prices.

- The bank predicted that the country’s retail energy price cap — which limits how much the average household pays for heating and electricity — would be raised to £4,567 in January and then £5,816 in April (approx $6880, €6850) compared with the current level of £1,971 a year. It added that the shifts would lead to inflation “entering the stratosphere”.

- UK and European wholesale natural gas prices are already trading at close to 10 times normal levels and other forecasters have also raised their inflation predictions.

- The energy regulator Ofgem will on Friday (26 Aug) announce the energy price cap for the period between October and January, which most analysts expect to rise to more than £3,500 for a household with average usage of energy — an increase of 75 per cent on current levels.

I mean, if you assume the US is the only market which exists, then, yeah, okay? Tesla is third or fourth in Europe and in China, both of which are larger BEV markets than the US, though.

The electric car market has been slower to develop in the US than in Europe and China for a variety of reasons (fuel's cheaper in the US for tax reasons, the average drive is much longer, consumer taste is more oriented towards large SUVs and trucks), but develop it has, and US consumers should soon have about as much choice of electric cards as consumers in other markets.
yeah. I've made the 'not going to do nothing but also not going to dedicate my life to self-hosting everything' choice: I bought a dumb spectre generic tv, then hooked up a roku stick, and am letting the pihole catch whatever it can, and hoping for the best from there.

So far, the banner ads in roku stay away, so it probably works well enough?

Eh, I’d rather get that ad subsidy and never connect the tv to the internet
Right now there is a desperate PR push to make Apple look like they wanted Facebook's ad business and that tracked ads really aren't all that bad.

It seems part of a larger campaign to force apple to drop tracking protections by making these efforts appear not as privacy protection, but rather an anti-competitive strategy to boost their own ads sales.

HN is falling over themselves in the process. Anyone that tells you that tracked ads are just about matching your preferences is lying to you on purpose.

I hear way too many stories like this about Google products. Whether it's Youtube, AdWords, GCP, or anything else - you get blackholed by them and there's zero recourse.

I just can't trust Google for something like running production services.
Agree on this, and not just in tech.

I work for a large financial co in NL (~50k employees) and 36-hour contracts are the standard for all full-time employees. 32 is considered part-time for us.

Regardless, most people certainly work 4 days a week here. Of all my friends and contacts, I think I know of only a handful working 5 days a week.

Ah, I see. I use PayPal and while PP supports payment agreements (I have that setup with a few sites), Hetzner insists I pay each invoice manually. Maybe just bank debit payments support "auto pulling".

I'm currently working a 3 day week (24 hours - mon, tue, wed) as a software developer.

At first I went down to 32 hours at my old job, but then got an oppurtunity at another company and this was my demand. Sure, I make less money but I definitely got enough to get by and then some.

It fits well with my current project since we have a few other people working as consultants for a few days each week (They have other projects as well).
Is that the one that used the nasty vampire taps, or am I thinking older.
They’re selling like hotcakes because you cannot find non-smart TVs anymore
I have ADHD and it is quite frustrating to have these limitations.

I struggle with real-time processing and I can’t offload audio to some other part of my brain. If I try to write a note or hold a thought in my head
for more than 10 seconds, the audio starts dropping out.

So I tend to interrupt when possible. I try not to be rude about it but some people just won’t shut up long enough for me to say something while it’s still relevant.

I got in a lot of trouble for “talking back” and “not paying attention” as a kid.

What can I say, a future is exactly the kind of handle I described, isn't it?

The difference being that these async frameworks do too much work in composing all these futures IMO. I prefer simple explicit event handling. Async runtimes probably make sense for web request handlers though.
I’d honestly rather watch adverts than have to run a home server again.
I personally don't think gender segregation should have a place in tech discussions, or any discussion in general, as long as conversation is held in good faith and in a respectful manner.

However for the people that do want it, I think that they need to look further than HN. By its centralized nature HN will guarantee that the over represented voices will drown everyone else.

The only way I see this kind of an effort gathering steam is by using one of the discussion platforms coming from the ActivityPub community as a starting point, but unfortunately that brings all the problems of building a community from scratch to the surface. Even if the community would be connected to the greater mass of the fediverse, it would still require a lot of effort to gather mind share. :(

But I would still be interested in seeing such an effort take root. (And to toot my own horn, I do happen to have a project that can be used for this purpose; details in my bio, anyone feel free to reach out.)
Sure, until we reach the point of "always connected" TVs that will work.
The financial crash would like to have a word with you.

Many people gave 'resources' to people who couldn't afford the debt, because with many layers of obfuscation, and perverse incentives for mortgage providers, they made it look like many more people could afford it than actually could.

Further...payday loans...loan sharks...people get money for things they can't afford, and can't realistically pay back, all the time.
A Mix of Brexit, an aging population, massive underinvestment in basically everything, covid mishandling and huge debt means the UK is around year 0 of a lost decade. I will leave if I can.

You’re right. Wired headphones provide massive amounts of convenience.

You don’t need instructions and a glitchy pairing process to make them work. You stick them in.

You don’t keep getting asked which specific iPhone in the busy airport terminal you want to connect to. You just stick them in.

You don’t need to fumble around if you want to quickly kill the sound for whatever reason. You just unplug it.

Yeah and it'd be noisy due to any regional differences in culture and behaviors. You'll see higher cancer rates in the South, with their love of sweet tea and fried fish, than you would in say, Colorado where there is more of a culture of fitness and health.

TVs will soon, if not already, come with cell phones; the ad revenue is larger than what they are charged for the cell phone IP traffic. TVs also reportedly use any open WiFi they can see, and use DoH to make DNS-based ad blocking impossible.
Probably because they're easily stolen and popular for fraud.

I'm never going to blame someone for not trusting credit cards. Only if you don't trust them, you should offer a better alternative.
For me it is that it opens all "most visited sites" in new tabs.

I usually go between 6-10 sites and use tabs mostly as a "read later". Sometime last year I started getting a lot of open tabs, and closing them one by one (to keep my read later tabs) is pretty darn annoying. I switched away from FF for that.
At least here in Norway, you change the whole wheel.
> Like say the 'welfare queen' myth, or the trope that 'giving people money will just cause them problems or make them lazy', seems you have to really stretch to convince people that helping the poor is a bad idea and the standard human response is to help.

In my experience, these attitudes are more common among those who live around poor people than among those who don't. It's my wife who taught me the difference between "people who are good at being poor and ones who aren't." Coming from a privileged background, I had no idea.

It's a sociocultural adaptation to scarcity. Historically, whether you were in a Bangladeshi village or rural Oregon, even the rich don't really have sufficient surplus to help more than a few people. And there were no rich foreigners or central government to swoop in. In that scenario, anticipating and expecting help is maladaptive. Everybody in the village needs to be incentivized to work as hard as possible for themselves before relying on anyone else.
> Britain uses GMT.

Which Outlook in particular seems to get direly wrong. I have lost count of the number of times I have been sent an email from someone using Outlook containing a supposed calendar event in summer which declares that it is at a particular time GMT. It's wrong, and if I were to turn up at the time it stated, I would be an hour late.
Not honest? Employer? And, a very literal take on classification.

Coding doesn’t mean “typing”. I include anything related to coding that pushes the project forward.

Have you ever bootstrapped a company? I’ve done it twice successfully and once unsuccessfully. You have to figure out how to make sure you work enough without working too little. It’s not an easy balance.

This isn’t arbitrary, far from it, it’s what works naturally for me. Measured and adjusted over two decades.
The "they use any open wifi they can see" myth has been brought up on HN multiple times, and never did anybody provide any credible proof of this rumour (that started as a single reddit comment).
Oh cool, your first link answers my original question:

> As part of Sesame Street's 50th anniversary, it was announced that the Sesame Workshop would be donating almost 4,500 episodes across 49 seasons to be preserved by the American Archive of Public Broadcasting

The episodes are available to members of the public in-person at the Library of Congress or at WGBH Boston.

Yes, it would be much better if they could be streamed over the internet, but I'm really glad to learn they're publicly available in some form.
I really love my X100F. I shoot RAW+JPEG but 99% of the time just use the JPEG directly. The film simulations are great and the whole process is so stress free.
A “manual” payment on GCP is usually still by credit card. You just set the amount by hand and hit submit, instead of the scheduled auto-bill.
My first words processing experience was WordPerfect on DOS. We had the plastic thing that fit around the F keys on the keyboard that told you all the keyboard shortcuts.
What about over-the-air TV
Same.

But still... 10BASE-T with 2 wires is a hell of an achievement..

Now 10GBASE-T with two wires, is the "Dark Souls on Bongo Drums" of networking.
My guess is that dynamic scoping is pretty unpopular for most use cases.
I have this connected to my raspberry pi showing PiHole statistics using a couple of bar charts on a five minute update schedule.

I also programmed two buttons to show the stdout results of diagnostic commands when pressed.

Mostly just a fun weekend project, but now I've gotten used to seeing the visual output whenever I walk past my router, and on a couple of occasions the bar charts actually made it clear there was a problem (eg: ads blocked bar was at zero).

The display has worked flawlessly for about two years now.
GP is correct, per the README:

> gojq does not keep the order of object keys. I understand this might cause problems for some scripts but basically, we should not rely on the order of object keys. Due to this limitation, gojq does not have keys_unsorted function and --sort-keys (-S) option. I would implement when ordered map is implemented in the standard library of Go but I'm less motivated.

And later in the same file:

gojq does not support some functions intentionally;
<snip>
--sort-keys, -S (sorts by default because map[string]interface{} does not keep the order),
Or alternatively, you can send all the traffic destined to google, into dev-null instead:

ip route add unreach $i
done

...but you'd be surprised how many of seemingly unrelated places on the Internet would break without google.

I like Roku's interface and price, but it's a shame that they're nigh-useless outside the US.
They are probably losing billions because of bad support but its billions to stoke egos and not have to worry about those pesky little humans.

Also, slippery slope fallacy at play I suspect
Any TV sold in the EU must adhere to the GDPR, so there has to be some sort of opt-out for tracking (and yes, GDPR opt-out also applies for "anonymized" profiling)
2022–The Year the Hydrogen Economy Launched?
For now, this appears to be feasible.

And it will probably stay feasible as long as the number of people who do it is relatively miniscule. But economics being economics, we’re freeloading off the customers who hook their smart TVs up to the internet and provide manufacturers with enough revenue that they don’t care about us.

But should the practice become widespread and manufacturers notice a material impact on their revenues, or should growth stall and manufacturers start looking to squeeze more revenue out of customers, they will start embedding SIM cards in TVs that can’t be disabled, and work out deals with wireless carriers to have a private data channel as Amazon does with its kindles.

my 4K “smart” TV is the first I ever bought, and I believe the last. By the time I will want to replace it, I believe manufacturers will have closed this “loophole” and it will be impossible to keep a new TV from phoning home.
I would be surprised if modern TVs didn’t connect to open WiFis; there is literally no reason for TVs not to do this, and every incentive to do it. Even if we discount the ads as a motivator, it’s still a simple solution to get people’s stuff configured automatically.
Just bizarre at this point. I can only assume he’s delusional because this is too obviously outrageous to be fraudulent.
Yes, 'we are better than you' is despair. The call of the unformed.

Whenever I hear use of the pronoun 'we' it puts me on edge.

"It is enough for me to hear someone talk sincerely about ideals, about the future, about philosophy, to hear him say “we” with a certain inflection of assurance, to hear him invoke “others” and regard himself as their interpreter—-for me to consider him my enemy." Emil Cioran

There is no 'we', there is only I. But, no, being clear on that point, I'm not in despair.
It’s less stressful. Wouldn’t you want to be done for the day six or seven hours after you wake up? Like I said in another comment, I could easily work from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, seven days/week, every single day. I don’t. I work about six hours a day, five days a week.
Where can I get a 65 inch computer monitor?

I’ve done the homelab media server. I did my first one back in 2006 with a Mac Mini running Front Row. But this is 2022. If you want a set top box without tracking, just buy an AppleTV. It cost more because Apple makes money off of hardware and not advertising.

Yes I know the reports about Apple getting even deeper into advertising. Yes it saddens me.
I'm not opposed to regulation, but in this case, another solution already exists. That is, competitive services that pride themselves on great customer service and satisfaction. Apple kind of does this in the iPhone vs Google phone wars. Azure and AWS do this in the cloud wars. Fastmail and Proton mail do this in the email wars, etc. Regulation didn't force Fastmail to be awesome; it's just the core of their business model and differentiation.
Worst case they can ask, somewhere in the account settings. Defaulting to the billing region should handle 99% of cases though.
I think there is a lot of value in these tools for the enterprise. Even if it is just CYA insurance. If somebody steals data but you have a DLP tool you can just blame the vendor. My biggest issue with the tools is they have an insanely deleterious impact on performance and the harsh scrutiny applied has a chilling effect on employees. It turns people into drones that do not dare step outside the norm.
I think it exactly contradicts that:

Wealth gaps are a sign of wealthy societies — the question is wealth distribution, not distance from the lowest to highest.
Do try
Frankly at this point I'd just avoid buying anything from Samsung. If there's one company that's displayed consistent disregard for data privacy, it's them.
Legal issues aside, there might be loss of company image and also privacy related matter (I can run an open wifi to see the data that my neighbour TV sends).

And to add to this: There has been no proof ever that modern TVs do this, and it would be quite easy for anyone/journalists/reviewers to check this (just run an open wifi and monitor it).
On top of that, we have a zombie goverment with no solutions or urgency to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
I run my own company. I could easily work from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep. This forces me to focus, get things done, and hire if I can’t.

Have you ever worked in an environment where your ability to produce reliable code, consistently, was the only thing keeping a company running for 6-12 months? That’s bootstrapping as the sole engineer. If you break, the company will die. You have to keep yourself from working too much without working too little either. There’s no one-size-fits-all model to copy.

edit

On working for a bigger company: Yes, that’s why I don’t work at big(ger) companies.. Unless I have a lot of leverage. I wouldn’t rewrite things or over-engineer them. I would quit.
