All I’m seeing is a very simple website for registering to attend a conference. What am I missing?
Nice solution!

I guess you cannot call it a 'luggable' like in days of yore, since it is not heavy, but I wonder if there's a snazzy term for a portable headless computer...
Faced a similar issue while I was trying to programmatically interact with a website that I'll not mention.

Surprisingly the website had a protection for which I was able to use their API via the browser, but not from cURL or Go.

I was puzzled at first, then I understood what was going on. Basically what's being described in this article.

Cloudflare was adding this "protection" against "unauthorized TLS fingerprints", and of course the Go HTTP / TLS client and cURL weren't on that list.

To work around the issue (in Go), I simply used a customized version of this:

"a straw man argument"?

I deliberately parodied your words. If you think a non-profit should be non-partisan (a reasonable argument, by the way), then Media Matters should be as well. Correct?

Or maybe a vast number of 501(c)(3) organizations support only causes associated with one side or the other, and your criticism is highly selective.
> This is just one piece of the puzzle.

Yes! That is the point, which is why over-selling this as an "open-source Amazon" will backfire spectacularly with anyone who understands what they're talking about.

It's important to know what you're building (from the POV of potential customers) and who your competitors are. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/best-ecomme...
I live near the south end of Lake Washington near Renton Airport and always cringe when those small piston engined planes take off over the lake and homes. I would be afraid of growing a garden in the homes around the airport. I see people fishing in the lake next to signs warning about the risk of eating too much fish from the lake. It is high time we got rid of this last remnant of leaded gas.
> if you come up with a plan

that’s explicitly the point of this post — OP is asking what their plan should be.

this, and the GP comment, are super annoyingly missing the point.

OP is already planning to take 3-4 months off. they ARE going to spend time with their family.

they’re just asking for advice on the transition, and half the comments are totally ignoring them, lol
I am on my fifth iPhone. I sold the first three for respectable amounts of cash, and traded in the fourth for the fifth. For the third and fourth, I ended up making a profit versus the cost of the iPhone that replaced them!
You’re precisely right and it’s not a small problem.

Overall, the focus is on emissions as “the problem” rather than “producing and burning fossil fuels” as the problem. Although subtle,
it is misdirection, as it pushes our attention in the direction of the emissions problem (hence offsets etc) rather than solving the fundamental problem, which is stopping fossil fuel production.

I’ve been told that engineers spend a long time on problem definition, as it avoids creating fake solutions to fake problems. I’m not an engineer but I love them.

>Jackson Mississippi currently doesn't have a working water supply. Downtown Flint Michigan is all boarded up. What kind of attitude should I have?

You should take a tour around San Francisco.
By that definition everything you eat is a pharmaceutical. Everything you eat has some effect on you.
I worked at the Samsung A2/S2 lines in ATX with a bunch of young Americans back around 2011-2013. I would say they absolutely would.

It's a very high-energy place with more going on than you can ever hope to keep track of. Even if the technology doesn't interest you, the cultural interactions should. You could have some days with Japanese, Koreans and Americans translating 3-ways in a conference room. Opportunities for business travel are probably restricted more now, but when I was there they practically begged us to travel to the Korean sites in hopes that we would learn more faster.

Some roles can be far more exciting than others. Someone has to work security and manage the facilities. That said, all the important roles seem to be the compelling ones too. I don't know of anyone who had a hard time getting another super cushy job after time at Samsung, so it's also great for long term career prospects.
I would have said "Renewables (but really mostly just fossil fuels) Party" but recent legislation makes it seem like the Democrats may be getting more serious on renewables.
How did you get the Mac VM created? I tried this once but eventually gave up because whatever path I tried it was challenging at every point to create a macOS VM from scratch.
> This is still relevant to his concern, but from the other end. They might be making the labor artificially scarce to increase pay.

This is very much true. I find that a lot of people in tech seem to put healthcare on a pedestal and believe that the professionalisation and gatekeeping of the industry create a better outcome than other engineering fields. This is very much untrue, the healthcare field is in need of massive disruption and lobbying to increase labor supply. You are being downvoted because a lot of tech people here hate to imagine that healthcare at the highest level is still subject to market forces like everything else. Medical training is being severely gatekept and hindered via the current apprenticeship/residency system. After all, we call the worst medical student, doctor. If you want to improve healthcare, tie medical school admission to the MCAT score, and only the MCAT score. You are not going to get better doctors just because candidates spend their summers building houses in some impoverished third world country.

COSTCO is 1/5th the size of Amazon, even though the company has been around about 20 years longer.
Keep in mind, it was not that long ago when some of us had regulations and orders that mandated you wear a mask... but allowed t-shirts over your face to count, which does absolutely nothing. Some other jurisdictions mandated that certain aisles in supermarkets be closed (yardwork / gardening tools), but others be allowed to remain open (alcohol aisle, where the entire aisle is dedicated to selling a known carcinogen specifically for human consumption).

The regulations in your jurisdiction being rational and sound does not mean that the regulations in everyone else's jurisdiction were equally as rational.

Consequently, an organization filing legal challenges against C19 regulations doesn't inherently mean they're a bunch of crazy conspiracy nuts who were opposed to things like mask mandates that required functional masks or social distancing.

I'm not saying they're guaranteed to be saints, but this doesn't exactly damn them either, at least not without a lot more context & information on the specifics.
I'm a paying customer, so I like SourceHut a lot, but it's easy to see why it won't be nearly as big as GitHub.

* GitHub was much earlier

* GitHub was backed by venture capital, and is now backed by Microsoft

* GitHub doesn't force you to adopt an email-only workflow. Pull request are much maligned in tech circles (following Linus Torvald's rant), but people all over dev teams love them. They are a huge argument why companies don't just stand up a git repo and call it done, devs want all those workflows and issue trackers and stuff. SourceHut is very barebones even where it has them. (The exception would be build actions, where SourceHut has no real integrations into big tools, but the core build action system is superior to GitHub's, IMO).

Incidentally, the build system depends on qemu: https://drewdevault.com/2018/09/10/Getting-started-with-qemu...
Young Americans are perfectly willing to do a half-assed job when conditions suck and pay is low. They are harder to exploit than foreign workers and previous generations because the "hard work" mentality really doesn't last when the rewards get less with every generation. They will either leave a job whenever they feel like they've had enough or just phone it in for a good long while giving shitty performance for shitty pay.

It is entirely possible to get good work out of younger generations, but you really have to start paying them competitively with how much you pay management and how much you pay capital.

It turns out there is a whole lot of rent seeking by people who don't do much (own capital, work as a middle manager, own real estate) and to compete, people are just checking out instead of trying to climb to an ever smaller top.

If it seems impossible to have a home, a family, and resources to actually do things with your life, living in a van and traveling around actually enjoying the world, even in rather extreme poverty, is quite a better life than being a wage slave.
I’ve switched from starting everything cold to waiting until the water is boiling before adding the eggs, and the peelability is night and day. It’s far, far easier to peel them when the water is already boiling before adding the eggs.
I'll save everyone the quick search. They added really basic opt-in telemetry, and then removed it after an out-of-proportion outcry.
Ah yes, blame labor. If apple, or really any tech/manufacturing company, want a workforce they need to pay for it accordingly. Money talks.

My question to you — do you work in manufacturing? Why or why not?
re " how big the niche "technically literate to run their own e-commerce business, but selling on Amazon for other reasons" is,

As the platform matured, the level of technical literacy could decrease over time. e.g. the more technical aspects get abstracted away from the users.

Furthermore, users who are motivated enough would begin to extend their technical reach by means of self education, and/or collaboration with more technical party/(ies).

This is a common arc in technology.
More like deliberately increasing demand for the service.
Yeah, take it further. Allow single-income households to prosper and be able to afford homes & children. Watch one-parent from each household start flocking to stay at home, maintaining a well-functioning household that's not dependent on external "services", and then having a bunch more than 1.5 kids is a possibility and probably a very appealing thought versus what it is now.
You never find clear causation for social issues. Legalizing marijuana seems a no brainer to me. Less people in prison and hopefully less opioid use.

There's one thing new laptops have which old laptops don't:

Warranty.

If you depend on your laptop for work, and one day it suddenly stops working, with the manufacturer's warranty (assuming you checked the correct boxes when buying the laptop) you can have a technician with spare parts the next day fixing it, and it'll be as good as new (and unless it was the storage device which failed, you won't even need to reinstall anything). After the warranty expires, things are more dicey; you might or might not find spare parts (assuming you know which spare part you need; a technician can come with several sets and take back the ones which weren't needed), if you do they might take some time to arrive, and if you don't, you have to buy a new laptop on a short notice (which might also take some time to arrive).

Unfortunately, the longest laptop extended warranty I've seen so far is only 5 years. Which means that, after 5 years of use, it becomes riskier to rely on it. It also means that the manufacturer expects it to work fine for 5 years (otherwise, they'd lose too much money on the technicians and spare parts), but not much longer than that.
If the CEO's personal success is appropriately tied to the company's success, the CEO will be, for the most part, incentivized to do what's best for the company

if you don't have a benefit that outweighs the stock dumping like that (in other words, in the CEO's opinion, is the probability of bad stuff happening, multiplied by the downside of it happening, greater than that 30% drop?) then your proposal simply isn't something that should be done

that's not to say the CEO hasn't failed by hiring an executive who can't do their job when it requires soft skills and persuasion
I read the article a few years back. I'm sharing my experience, I'm not trying to say none of the criticism apply.

As of 2022 I think pipenv is in good shape and worth using. At the very least I don't see a reason for us to switch away from it at work.
> In the end it only makes sense if you replace trips that are more carbon-heavy - and the evidence that this happened in the 3 months seem pretty weak

I don't think this measure is primarily meant to fight carbon emissions. I think the primary goal is to help people who were mostly affected by inflation, i.e. lower and middle class so people who take regular commuter trains.
American cream cheese is not particularly sweet. It is frequently used as an ingredient in savory dishes.

Most of the cheeses I ate when living in Germany are available in the US in the cheese section of a reasonably nice grocery store; the reverse wasn’t true at the time, my German friends had odd ideas about what cheeses Americans eat.
Increasing subsidies that are used by poor and middle-class households seems to have a stronger effect than subsidizing rich people. Their money tends to have higher velocity (instead of throwing it into the stock market and waiting, they will use it to buy necessities), which leads to more total dollars spent per year from $1 of subsidies.

> It seems a bit strange giving one group so much and the rest nothing.

In parallel there was a 0.30 Euro subsidy on petrol ("Tankrabatt") and a 300 Euro one-off payment for employees (in September I think). Plus subsidy on gas for heating is being discussed. Taken together a lot was given, not only to one group.

It's probably the most visible project using the wxWidgets framework and in the audio domain which fits well with my experience building the DJ app.
It's easy to criticize from afar, but in the meantime they have a successful growing business that gives them the freedom to spend a lot more time with their kid and family than most people get, even if it means taking a meeting for an hour in the middle of family time.

I think most people would envy their freedom.
The pull of the lane assist alone helps me realize when I'm not paying enough attention to the road.
Are opioids really making that much money?

Most of what is prescribed are generics and they're not expensive.
> 1/5th the size of Amazon

So pretty freaking big?
Huh, I didn't believe you at first but apparently there was indeed very severe flooding in 2010, and again in 1992.

That said, back in 1992 this only affected 3 million people, and now it's 30 million. The population of the country only doubled over the same time span, so it seems like this year's flooding is easily five times worse than before
Yes. The law is all about default behaviour. The customer has ultimate control.
> Nowhere in this article is there a relation to bank bailouts.

Of course there is (when you remember the 2008 housing crash and think a step or two ahead)

During good times, putting lots of poor-ish people into homes they can just barely afford is a feel-good story.

During bad times, when people get laid off and many of these people can likely no longer afford their home, it creates a shit-storm of epic proportions that negatively affects everybody.
You're right, but sellers are realizing that they are helping Amazon, eBay, etc. more than those platforms are helping them. For example, if you use FBA to fulfill outside orders, Amazon charges a higher rate. You're locked into their pricing and their marketplace.

I would say 85% of sellers on eBay and Amazon have their own storefront now to be in more control. They also funnel these orders into an OMS.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but RENFE's Rodalies service around Barcelona has been disastrous long before free train tickets.
I recently discovered the magic that is qemu-user-static on an Ubuntu system. Install that and you can instantly run binaries compiled for other architectures. No need for a big VM or anything (*), just run the binary standalone. Combined with a cross-compiler toolchain and you have a nice way to do development for other platforms.

(*) the trick being the environment. I'm writing assembly code that just invokes Linux system calls. If you need shared libraries or other OS services, it gets more complicated.
You are right. When you read the studies, they seem gloom. But of course, most people who are fitted a pacemaker are already very late in their life.
It is indeed. The video (which I just happened upon yesterday) does a great job of describing his impact on humanity and it was interesting to learn that prop planes were still allowed to use leaded gasoline--I had no idea. Ironic he died by strangulating himself in one of his own inventions.
I did not mean to say that they are not worth it.
Absolutely. Comprehensive deep dive where an editor has made the text coherent, the code has been reasonably tested and several technical reviewers have read through the content and provided feedback before it went to print.

I used to purchase many physical technical books, but now only keep a select few (which is still probably a good 200+ books) on my shelves, mostly the classics, e.g. GPU gems, game programming gems, numerical recipes, etc. Now I pick up digital versions of the books and make sure I can get them in PDF format. I have a few of the Fujitsu Quadernos for reading books these days, which makes a huge difference to trying to read on a smaller tablet.

Generally I avoid picking up books on "fast moving topics" e.g. the latest web framework de jeur that has gone through 19 versions since the author started writing the book and when I eventually purchase it.
Well, let me put it like this: Ableton (and other DAWs) along with virtual instruments did certainly open up music production, in a way that answers 1.) And 2.).

I do not own an organ, but I can get a pretty good VST alternative.

People have been producing electronic music without a lot of formal musical training for decades now.

True, but going back to the original argument, if hackers did manage to steal data, that makes the idea of spending time trying to prevent all the taxis from being sent to one place even stupider. In the world where YandexTaxi had extra time to spend on something, they should have spent it on securing their data better.
They can be a source of good knowledge but they also kind of weird me out. Fetishizing the tools used to accomplish things, rather than doing the thing.. Anything related to writing gets it especially: pens, typewriters, mechanical keyboards. Then there's the "manliness" thing: wet shaving, fedoras, suits, etc. Photography too, whole forums of people debating the technical aspects of a 50mm f1.5 prime lens instead of taking photos. Audiophiles. Gun people who spend a lot of money on accessories but can barely hit the paper. Guitar guys who spend $5000 on an amp but just crank out the same 3 Van Halen songs.
I never use "social logins" because I don't know what the implications are. I feel like I do know for email/password.

I hate sign ups too. As a project trying to be as streamlined as possible I will implement a submit-once form. I just need input from users just once and that is it.

I am not sure about no verification? Wouldn't I just get a lot of kids pretending they work at Google?

>You will never get a grasp of the exact work culture at some potential employer by reading subjective comments. As a user i simply take in hints of red flags which i would validate or negate personally by having a chat with some of the folks.

> USB4 is also really weird in that you cannot really add additional ports to the system on via add-on cards or similar, since there needs to be one router for the whole host that is connected to all the USB4 ports, in order to implement the correct routing system, and also implement the guarentees like Display Port being available on USB4 ports, etc.

That sounds a hell of a lot like 'we're going to add some bullshit DRM in the next version'
I am doing this right now (paternity). I did what most of the comments suggested: asked someone to take on the essential parts of my role (CTO), and scaled back the non-essentials over the course of a few months.

It’s going extremely well. I think the person who took on my role is doing it better than I used to. A spring clean of responsibilities was helpful and forced us to document / distribute a variety of things that used to fall on me for no good reason.

Feel free to email me if you want to discuss more.

And most importantly, congratulations! You’re going to love it. Whatever you do regarding work, structure it so you don’t have to think about it when you do 2am feeds (because you really won’t want to).
