When it comes to Windows 10, I basically "pave over" as much of the shell as possible. This includes replacing the Start menu with Classic Shell/Open Shell, potentially replacing the taskbar with RetroBar [0], erasing as many UWP apps (Cortana and Edge included) as possible from the system, basically anything goes.

For things that are relatively useful to keep like Windows Explorer, I try the numerous registry tweaks that remove features I don't like (for example, OneDrive integration). Couple this with Tron and similar scripts.

Installing an LTSC edition would obviously be nice, but it's hard and expensive to get to get (see [1] - the general consensus seems to be that you need to go through a VAR, and then buy an LTSC license alongside some cheap shopping basket fillers to get above the minimum number of licenses limit). When it's available, it makes the above "paving over" process much easier than a retail/pro edition.

I wonder if there's any interest in a meetup in the North East, probably Newcastle. Or if it'd just be me drinking in a pub on my own.

Either way, I'm tempted to organise it.
No I included it because it used to be a common profession and now it is an extremely niche one. I could have also put chimney sweep in there knowing that it's still a thing.

Someone is still going to pay for a person to perform or create art for them. Some professional driving jobs will continue to exist long after most are automated. When I said "nobody", that's what's known as hyperbole.
There is a difference between knowing that something is caused by climate change, and knowing that something is strongly correlated with climate change. There is no doubt that if we let CO2 emissions continue, extreme weather events like OP will be more likely. This doesn't mean every time it's warm or rainy or cold the effective cause is the excess CO2 buildup.

Depends on your needs.

If I want display quality photos on heavy weight paper, I go to WalMart or Office Depot and pay for their commercial printer. For small photos embedded in business documents on plain paper, my Canon laser jet does an acceptable job and is relatively frustration free at reasonable cost. Text quality is never an issue.

Ink jet and photos are the main pain points to avoid.

Privacy and where someone advertises are dramatically different things. If they'd handed over data to those twitter accounts I'd agree with you.

This kind of thing I think pushes the needle the other way. It shows a company extremely concerned about their image, when their core argument is about trust and privacy.

Apecoin (APE) ranging between $9.470 and $7.510 at the resistance2 and resistance1 levels in the recent past, and then touched $3.19 support2 level and $4.69 support1 level.

Irrespective of this sideways movement in the price of APE, we can deduce the following:

1. APE coin’s price is expected to reverse at the $7.510 resistance1 level, based on the history of price in May 2022. In the event that investors get their way, it could surge into the $9.47 resistance2 level before reversing, due to the formation of a double top.

2. Resistance1 level reverse will lead to a further decline in the price of APE to the support2 level at $3.196 until a triple bottom is formed. This could lead to a bullish reversal.

Nevertheless, we predict a bullish APE price prediction for 2022 as psychological barriers may be broken. We can expect APE to reach $25 this year.

It blows my mind that cyclists even want to use the same road as a car. Hell, I don't even want to drive with other drivers these days - everyone is on their phone and not paying attention.
For black & white (grayscale) text, my experience has been that laser printers are just as good, or superior (esp. if your laser printer does 600dpi or higher), and they don't smudge as easily as ink jet prints.
Yeah it gets submissions, but it doesn't usually sit at the top of the front page for an hour (+ whatever other sites this news item got submitted to)
slow clap nice attempt at escalation.

'Voluntary' in this case seems to be a way of allowing the affected workers to make the decision of who's going to be working rather than management choosing. Ideally this avoids having management assign Bob (whose daughter has a dance recital he'll miss) instead of George (who's saving for Stanley Cup tickets) so the staff who want overtime get to choose to have overtime. I think there's a word for that, it's right at the tip of my tongue.

> Giving up striking is akin to giving up all further collective bargaining outside the gains of the current agreement.

Nonsense. While the current agreement is in force, it's perfectly legitimate to start negotiating a new agreement. It's quite possible for that to happen without first staging a strike. Industrial action is for when negotiation has failed; you give due notice to terminate the existing agreement, on the grounds that it has failed, and hold a vote on action.

> Does Canadian law permit jail time for breaking a labor contract?

The threat in the letter is that jail time might be a possibility if workers violate court orders (contempt of court is mentioned). It's not simply for breaking a contract. If you break an employment contract, the contract is arguably void, and you are no longer employed, that's all.
Yeah, adding try/catch around those has been a good practice for a while. I think there was a time when, if the site was running in a private window in Safari, localStorage would also throw exceptions.

Hi! Yes, you can test more frequently. Once you choose a plan, you can add as many more tests as you like at that same cost per test.
> There are options. They just take a little bit work, because of course they do.

These options took more work than they did a quarter century ago.

Yes, it was more difficult to learn how to use a computer back then. Yet, for the most part, it involved following written instructions until one understood how things worked. In the worse case scenario, the was troubleshooting. Yet even then the difficulty diminished once one understood how things worked.

The challenges today are far less technical and far more psychological. We are constantly being bombarded by messages of consumption. Some of those messages are easy to sidestep. You can run a community oriented Linux distribution. You can install an ad blocker on your computer/network. Other times it is more difficult to avoid. Consider how many articles end up being an advertisement for a company or promoting a book. Consider how much time we spend filtering out results from a major search engine when we do decide to look for something new.

Filtering is probably the best description of the hard work we face today. Contrast that with a quarter century ago, when the hard work was learning.

It is also worth noting that we have less access to effective tools these days. A few weeks back, I stumbled across a web-ring. Discovering new sites was difficult 25 years ago. The problem with embedded links or bookmark pages was their static nature. The problem with search engines is that they relied entirely upon keywords (as well as their smallish index). One of the early solutions was the web-ring: a dynamic collection of links on a common topic. While some may have led to sites with advertising (e.g. the Angelfires and Geocities of the world) and consumerism (e.g. sites following television shows), most of these were also sites about creating things for other people.

To make a long story short: not only are the old ways hard, they are made more difficult because of the current environment. We need to find some way to make it easier.
I'd be interested if it's Newcastle.

I read the entire thing [1], well I just skimmed the historical section until the 20th century. I do not see how this can be read as Ukraine is part of Russia end must be conquered back.

For the current situation the most relevant part is probably the one dealing with the recent history, say the fall of the USSR or maybe even only past 2014. Unfortunately I am in no position to judge what is laid out and reading up on all the events would probably take weeks and figuring out the actual truth might still be quite hard.

One file has a size of nearly 5 GB... Every day two of these files get released... So nearly 10 GB every day.

So if we download the raw data every day for one year, we would have 3650 GB just for one year...

It would be interesting how much reduced the size of the processed data is compared to the raw data. You say that you have 50 GB of data spanning multiple years. How many years exactly?

Sexism? Where? You will please note that the deliberate use of the term "spouse" is genderless. My friend just happens to be married to a woman that doesn't cycle.

There really is no need to seek offence where none is given. It cheapens any further discussion.

Since you ask, I'm in a bike club because I like to ride, race and tour bikes with friends in my spare time. I've just finished a bike tour where about half the group where women. They also collect bikes just like me. Just like my friend, not all their partners ride or have any interest in cycling either.

I have 6 bikes because: a) I've been riding a very long time and I tend not to throw things away. b) different bikes serve very different purposes.

i.e. I don't commute on my TT bike and I don't ride my Brompton folding bike on single track.

As for sustainability, I suggest you look at the actual impact of owning a few old bikes vs say, having even one pet dog, cat or child. These are several orders of magnitude worse.
The way my break breaks down this issue is simple (to me):

- overtime should be optional, you don't know what's going on in people's lives. They should have the right to refuse to work overtime without justification.
- the business should compensate workers for working overtime.
- if nobody wants to work overtime, that's the company's problem, they could change shifts to accommodate different hours.
- since I believe overtime is optional, then firing a worker for it should be an offense that warrants the union to be involved, and the union may use its collective bargaining power to make a change.

But of course, the policy the workers/union agreed to is important to consider. That being said, companies take advantage of unpaid overtime to overwork their employees, and it becomes a habit and easy money-saver solution.
Nobody ever writes code for memory mapped network devices!!
I've used public-key basically forever.

I have wanted to go that step further and implement certificates for a good few years now, I absolutely see the value, no question about it (i.e. no more out of date authorized_keys files, no need to even install authorized_keys files in the first place, the list goes on).

I wish YubiKeys were more flexible in allowing SSH certificates to be hosted on them (currently can only host X509 type). Because if I could use a Yubi for SSH certificate signing I would have already been using certificates ! (Yes I know, theoretically you can do it with GPG keys, but frankly that's a PITA with many issues).

My current plan is to take inspiration from this : https://smallstep.com/blog/diy-single-sign-on-for-ssh/

I had a Samsung CLP-315W that didn't work with original replacement toners that I kept in a cupboard for a couple of years, since I bought them during a sale.

I'm guessing that either one of their firmware updates broke their chip DRM recognition, or the chips that were in my original toners somehow corroded due to age.

Even for laser printers, it looks like it will be compatibles and refills for me moving forward.
> more responsive, more intuitive, faster to start up, more reliable, easier to learn

More responsive? No. No it wasn’t. Disks were slow. Memory capacity was low. You used to have to use third party RAM disk software to complete some tasks in a reasonable time. Or install a ram doubler to let you work on reasonable sized documents at the expense of slowing your machine down even more.

More intuitive? Hard disagree. The example I gave above was of getting a word count. You had to find the menu option to do that - it wasn’t just visible on screen. Same with spellcheck. Global search and replace was slow and clunky and felt risky. You only had one level of undo.

Faster to startup? Hells no. Again, slow disks.

More reliable? There was no auto save. Everyone who used a computer in the 90s has a story of losing hours, or even weeks of work to a crash. Everyone.

Easier to learn? Learn how? Word came with a few hundred pages of dead tree manual, but if you were on an institutional machine or running a ‘borrowed’ copy you didn’t have that. There was no internet to look up how to do stuff. Maybe you could pick stuff up from the tips section of a magazine? Sure. It was super easy to learn.

Compared to all of which, google docs or Word365 is just… light years ahead.
Not knowing much about drones, I had no idea consumer drones can fly that high! Apparently, the maximum spec height is 6 km which is impressive on its own. And this thing went 3 km higher than the spec. I had always assumed they can't rise above two or three thousand feet max.

Bought mine twenty years ago, that's when the price drop happened, when consumer-priced laser printers started to become a thing. Never looked back. Some years ago the paper drive started having trouble getting traction on the next page (probably some plastic springs losing their springyness?), but that's perfectly acceptable for a dozen pages a year.

Bit off topic, but what printer would people recommend for someone who needs one every now and then, that is capable of color prints and scanning, that won't stop working when unused for several months?

I'm getting the impression ink jet is not the way to go due to the long pauses, but the color lasers are all seem very expensive for such occasional use.

Yes, it's a bit wasteful. But importantly, it's straightforward, and it's what efficient universal Turing Machines would use in their input, so it makes sense for a comparison.
Even the binary lambda coding allows for some optimization, like coding for variable 2 at depth 2 as 111 rather than 1110 since an occurrence of variable >= 3 would not make the term closed.

> so we can simply treat that as an alternative to encoding a transition

That's fine for the shift number but a lot of BB research concerns the number of 1s written rather than the number of steps taken, and there it matters. They prefer to use a single model for all variants.

The data model behind Notion's flexibility (2021)
Ask HN: How to overcome the struggle to read and understand code?
I am interested in becoming a software engineer but I always fail to get started because I am unable to read and understand code that was not meant for humans. Is there a way to visualize the code and "see" its parts, like one would with the architecture of a car? E.g, this part of the codebase is the engine, this part is the steering wheel, this is the battery, etc. Before coding, can you begin with a drawing of the structure of the code?
Your question is so broad that my answer has to be as well.

Start by making a working prototype.

You can probably finish the software without any custom hardware, at least the non-hw-specific parts (which is most of it in this case).

Then when it's working, start thinking about making it into dedicated hardware..

Find out what minimum specs you can make your software for (if you're just one dude, consider something like an ESP, that should be able to drive the display just fine).

Then you need to ballpark what BOM price is.

If an OEM has a similar enough product, probably photo-frame manufacture already has, and your product can be more or less reduced to either some custom firmware for one of their models that has wifi.

Alternatively, consider if what you want to build already exists.. Something like an Airtame or Chromecast app could be paired with any monitor in the world, you pick a few models and sell together with your software ?

actually.. what are you even asking?

Get some idea what the initial costs will be, contact investors, form a company, throw other peoples money into the idea..

Honestly, it's not for me, but some people just love doing that, and they're awesome at it.

As it is in Norway. The system is set up to be collectivist, and indeed it was largely due to the labour unions and labour parties that it became like this. I suppose Canada has something similar.

This kind of system implies that people are members of the group more than they are individuals, as least for some purposes. The union is allowed to make agreements on their behalf, the same way as a state may make laws on behalf of citizens. Often, this provides strength in numbers, but it may also limit bargaining power (and other freedoms) for individuals.

Now, if some group other than the offial union representatives start organizing workers independently of the union, that threatens the entire model. Not only does this cause and upredictable situation for the employer, but it undermines the power of the Union itself (and in particular the bosses).

This means that it's in the Union's interest if the agreements they have with the employer is legaly binding. A Union may even end up on the employers side in a conflict like this, to help identify ring leaders, bring forth secret messages that was passed to the users, etc.

Now for you Americans (US version), that lean left, but still don't get this: There are primarily two types of economic systems that have been introduced by "the left" as alternatives to capitalism.

One is the one described above, which is a sort of corporatism. This is the moderate version, where there is some room for individual freedom, but where some freedom is given up to unions, employers and the government (in exchange for security). This is the system that was introduced by Social Democrats in the mid 20th century, and you still find remains of it in traditional heavy industries, government employees, etc in Europe, though not to the same extent as in 1970.

The last one is full socialism, where the government generally takes over ALL control.
