From a technological point of view, the following book would be useful:

> The Knowledge is a journey of discovery, a book which explains everything you need to know about everything. This is a quick-start guide for rebooting civilisation which will transform your understanding of the world – and help you prepare for when it’s no longer here…

Along with the books in its bibliography:

* http://the-knowledge.org/en-gb/bibliography/

* http://the-knowledge.org/en-gb/further-reading-by-chapter/

Further references on medical knowledge and Germ Theory would be good, especially on how to make soap and how to create microscopes so we can see germs.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease

A book on anatomy would be useful too so we don't have to rediscover what various bits and pieces and parts do.
Sure, but a pi consumes about 3.5W of energy and can run 24/7/365.

There are alternatives, but most other solutions will end up costing more in electricity costs. Especially problematic in say Europe right now.
Easy. Then we just sell the cocaine while claiming it is powdered sugar. Worst case we get booked for sale of food items without a license.
Was your last Dell recent? I remember having horrible experiences with Dell support so I wouldn't buy them. But about 1.5 years ago I saw a great deal on a refurbished beefy machine I needed - and found their support was amazing when it needed some parts replaced. My guess is they did a 180 on support because they had a bad reputation. YMMV because I still hear bad experiences - they partner with local support so it may depend on the quality of folks in your area.
Requirements aren't really that. They're really wish lists.

I get the access denied error too if I click on either, but they play fine if I load them within a player.
For example on VLC, select from menu: Media->Open Network stream, then paste one of the links and hit Play. Unless they're restricted in your area they should play fine.
[Kawipiko's author here] NGinx is great at what it does, however in order to get good performance out of it one must also be a master of its configuration knobs, and knowing all of their implications. For example while benchmarking NGinx I've observed quite different performance characteristics for simple patterns such as asking for `/some-folder/` that fallbacks to `/some-folder/index.html` vs explicitly asking for `/some-folder/index.html`.

On the other hand with Kawipiko there aren't many configuration knobs; it is already tuned for a single particular use-case: serving static content for websites (with small resources).

Also, a particular use-case where Kawipiko can shine over NGinx, is for a website with lots of small resources (as with my Leaflet tiles example). NGinx can't decide where those resources are placed on disk, thus the OS file-system caching and read-ahead can't help too much here. Meanwhile with Kawipiko, where everything is bundled together, it receives a lot of help from the OS in this regard.

As with regard to the "battle-tested and versatile", Kawipiko uses <https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp> as its HTTP engine, which itself is used in quite a lot of Go-based products, thus one could state that it's "battle-tested enough". :)

With regard the "even for a doc server embedded in hardware", why don't you think Kawipiko is a good fit in that case? (In fact this was one of its main use-cases.)

Legion 7i Slim looks pretty slick, but unfortunately it doesn't have Ethernet port, and I haven't heard good things about the wireless card in terms of performance, but it also depends on your router (if it supports WF 6)
You don't seem to understand. There are no "Uber drivers". Except in very select countries (I believe that Uber recently lost a case in Italy ? Can't remember), there are self employed people, whose (only and very demanding) client is Uber. This means that worker protection is out of the window. There are no legal limits to it, if you want to work for three consecutive days, go for it.

And having talked to many Uber/Freenow/etc drivers (because, yes, i also am brought to using it sometimes) in Paris and throughout France, many, many, many of them start their day at 6,7AM and go on until 10PM or later. These guys are not criminals, they were previously contracted taxi drivers, electricians, all kinds of jobs who just fell on a bad thing in life and had to make money another way, now leaving them mostly stuck with this job. The ones making those hours were open about what they make, on average about 2000, 2200€ per month. Which, for 16 hours a day is fucking miserable,and for a city like Paris isn't a whole lot.

But actually, don't take it from me. The median take home in France for an Uber driver is 1617€ per month, with a median work time of 45 hours. Hint: it's barely above minimum wage. And, since Uber doesn't guarantee work and they're paid by the ride, many of them work on the side to guarantee they don't get fucked out of two day's salary when unlucky. https://www.journaldunet.fr/management/guide-du-management/1...

I have had a very good experience with 1Blocker so far. Not quite ublock origin but close enough that I almost never notice a difference from my daily desktop use. There is another extension called Vinegar that strips out YouTube ads, but unfortunately it only works with Safari on iOS and not Firefox (even though both are using the same core engine) so I need to remember to bounce over to Safari when watching YouTube vids.
> Then again, the SLS program does fund the private space industry. While it's easy to dismiss it as a mere "jobs program", it did / does provide a bed for the next generation of engineers to learn, gain knowledge, become experts and so on. It also provided a bed for contractors and subcontractors to grow their businesses. Just like the Apollo program did.

This is completely backwards. It traps highly-skilled, highly-demanded engineers in dead-end jobs that do absolutely nothing to advance the state of the art.

Same with the contractors. SpaceX doesn't use OldSpace subcontractors for very good reasons. They're too slow and too expensive. They famously use industrial grade components rather than aerospace grade components. You can blame the loss of CRS-7 on this practice. OTOH Falcon9 has a perfect record since CRS-7, the highest number of consecutive successes of any rocket ever.
This isn't an effort that the Right can use to proclaim racial superiority. Understand the difference?
Storage can be brought on very quickly as well. And more importantly, we don't need storage for renewables to displace CO2 right now.
"What I like most, though, is that the news doesn’t make the front page based on your interests, but instead the interests of others."

Nobody forces you to care though. Especially if everything works for you. And there are people who are interested in how their systems work, why should they not?

I'm flagging this; it's marketing drivel[1] devout of any sort of substance or insight. The author of the post is the submitter.

This is because modern Intel processors don't support S3 sleep[1], they instead only have Microsoft's Deep Sleep (s0ix). The only alternative is laptops with ARM or AMD(?) processors, but I haven't got a good recommendation for one.

People might like some or most characteristics of Windows but want software freedom.

I do mainly use Linux for its free software aspect, not for its technical aspects or its UX. It also happens to be the OS I like best, luckily.
People specifically prefer older Lenovos for other reasons than raw performance (cost, keyboard, max ram, Linux support, ...).
Why does the button say "diffuse the f rest"? What is the f for?
It's not a special term, it's just two words to mean "corruption that is close to but outside of the thing being discussed".

Basically just take a definition of "external" then scope it to corruption specifically.

I bought an MBP 14" (Max, 32 core GPU, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD) which I mostly don't regret. The things that give me pause are the battery life is only (only, haha) 9 hours or so, the resolution isn't ideal (the integer scaling options are either tiny or gigantic) and it was... $3,700? If I'd bumped down to the pro I would've saved money and gotten better battery life.

When I made this decision, I was between the Framework and a ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 AMD. I still think I made the right choice, but I think the P14s would've been a great option.

Lenovo hasn't released an AMD Gen 3 for the P14s, so you'd have to live with the ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 AMD instead (they're the same laptop, it turns out). It's:

- Ryzen 6850U

- 32GB RAM

- 14" 3840x2400 IPS Matte display (500 nits, 100% DCI-P3)

- 1080p camera

- $1,600

The extra nice thing about this is you get Ryzen and USB4, which lets you use eGPUs and the like.

All that said, I can't at all vouch for Lenovo support. If this is the defining characteristic for you I'd do more research before picking one of these up.
Great insights. I am struggling with the IC vs. management track since the general wisdom is only the management track has real decision making power. I didn't consider that the real thing a manager has to affect change is _influence_. You don't need to be a manager to be influential.

I've started to see this as an early engineering hire in a fledgling startup. As we grow, my influence grows too; thanks to my leaders giving me the "magic wand".
Full agree. And further I think frontend complexity has grown quite a bit lately. People love to go on about framework churn etc. when it's just a difficult domain in general. As someone who used to have snobbish opinions on frontend work, I've completely come around since diving into it. For modern fullstack applications I believe the frontend often has more complexity to it than the backend.
Others already mention adblockers exist for iOS. This is possible because Safari on iOS has support for declarative blocking (the inferior API compared to programmatically deciding what to block).

Initial content blocker support came with iOS 9 in 2015. They only work in Safari, maybe also other browsers (not sure though).

So what makes Haker News great is a lot of "features" that it doesn't have. How ironic that others spend so much resources adding features that are ultimately detrimental.

But I guess it's a matter of who the audience is. If you want to appeal to the masses, some of these "features" probably do help.

Yes, exactly. Then you could write popular opinion books about the studies which flesh out the conclusion. Then it could be a motivating tool for an entire political party. You could go on tour to promote your "controversial" books. People will say that the facts must be heard and both sides should be represented.
Don't forget that the knowledge unlocked in the private space industry is locked and owned by these corporations.

While government funded programs can be re-used for generations to come and are more than often public domain.
Have heard since good things about Slimbooks.

Could you tell us more about your experience and how much you paid for it?
It may have already been posted here, but my personal approach is to just try everything! But treat it like play, not work.

You filter through your interests WAY quicker with a first pass and then you can return to topics you felt were interesting and recursively apply this strategy, until a prioritisation seems obvious to you.
I'm super happy with it. The perf are great.

Why would you care about access to space if you do not plan to do there anything valuable?

The biggest issue with SLS+Orion is that these 40 billions could be spend on launching space telescopes or missions to other planets.

You could get 3 or 4 James Webb Space telescopes. 60 missions like Kepler. 12 Curiosity/Perseverance rovers.

One, single, SLS launch will cost 2 billion dollars!

That's already 3 Kepler Space Telescopes right there or a Curiosity rover on Mars.

If you do your day job for your employer with total dedication then you are not likely to 'need' to post public repos or get involved in slagging off different programming trends. Plus you have already heard what people have to say about your toolset and you know they know little about your domain expertise.

No word of a lie, a few years ago a 'crypto' person told me that all the code I was working exceptionally hard at was a complete waste of time. Blockchain technology would solve everything. I just had to wait. And I am still waiting!

I have a lot to show for the work I have done since that conversation with buttons I have put online getting clicked millions of times with nobody personally thanking me. It is 'silent majority' code. No idea where the 'crypto' person got, I stick to my own lane and I don't need to rubber-neck.

Although it is good to share one's work so nobody else has to reinvent the wheel, if I have a better solution and I have developed it in the context of dedication to the day job, then that software gives a commercial advantage to my employer. Even if the core of the idea is mine and that I developed it in my own time, I 'bat' for my employer, and, if it is in their interests to keep the repo private, then I will.

There is also the matter of peer review. My colleagues are too busy to spend time on my pet projects.

The 'crypto' person has one of those LinkedIn profiles where they have more than the maximum amount of connections, with all kinds of grand job titles and the rest of it. I am just a programmer and I do not need a job title. I don't even need LinkedIn and I do not spend time inventing a grander version of myself online.

For code samples I can share the code that I worked on, albeit removing any business logic that is not mine to share. In my niche, with recruiters that know me, this 'just show me the code' works fine.

What if everyone worked like me? There would be no fine repos to plunder!!! Well, there are a few pull requests I have put into public repos and the majority of the population cannot say that. Plus, if I spend two decades silently writing code, then, one day, post a repo, it is going to be good.

To be honest the code I was writing two years ago makes me cringe with shame at how naive it is, so I doubt that my efforts from before that would have been for the wider public good, even if they did fix a business problem at the time. I have sometimes had to get working code rather than beautifully refactored code, then onto the next project.
Same, but it is more and more annoying to root your phone with all these banking apps blocking rooted phones. And now, with the new security standards (which are good), banks insist on having you install their proprietary app just to authorize payments (which is annoying). I am not talking about Google Pay here (which I can do without).

There are workarounds of course, but I am becoming tired of the cat and mouse game, in fact, I am tired of smartphones altogether. Unless things change, my current phone is probably the last rooted phone I will use as a daily driver, sadly, the last "high end" phone too.
I've had a mac like that. But then adding a replaceable film will actually help protect the display.

The problem can be better solved by getting the demand under control. China, one of the historic worst offenders, actually managed to do so [1], but Japan's legal market [2] still entices poachers and smugglers (who supply the black market in China [3]).

Aside from comparing different launch programs that don't compete with each other, the article is also purely "20/20 hindsight". A more entrepreneurial path to a moon mission was obviously feasible when the Artemis program started. So it's not so much that we chose a more expensive option, it's that we have been blessed with experience and confidence with a new path since the original program began.

That's a pretty short termist comment.. this is part of the plan to tackle and reduce co2 emissions and has nothing to do with reducing overall costs.. besides, I don't know if you noticed but electricity is not the only form of energy which has skyrocketed in price, gas/diesel has is currently very expensive in Europe as well. Since your alternative (ice vehicle) has become proportionally as expensive, the cost benefit of electric cars still holds.

Did a similar thing about 1.5 years ago. Bought a Lenovo Legion 15 with 4800H Ryzen and 32 GB RAM. Upgraded the drives to 1 TB NVMe and 4 TB SATA SSD. It's super fast, discreet graphics, replaceable storage and still cost less than half of a similarity configed Macbook Pro.
I have a Precision 7750 that I stuck 128GB RAM into. It's a beast, but I use it as a desktop really, so I'm not sure what the battery life is like.
Because "the rules that were in place" then were unfair, and were not, in fact, decided on in any organized manner: they were simply the confluence of a number of factors.

This change does not take anything away from anyone. It does not hurt any of the people who (like me) are lucky enough to have paid off all their student debt.

How people react to it just shows who is a bitter, jealous person by nature, and who has actual compassion for other people.
In 2001 I fried a Dell desktop motherboard and processor while toying with overclocking.

I've never knowingly encountered a website breaking because I have an adblocker, but I've being running adblockers of one sort or another for about as long as there's been ads on the web - so maybe there's just features I don't know I should experience.
