Are you putting react there because you consider it to have the largest learning curve? If not, I'd probably substitute Vue.

When I was first getting into reactive frontend frameworks it was part of a time-sensitive project, and we chose Vue because we could basically just write HTML and sprinkle in the reactivity. This was back in the Vue 2 days before they made everything functional, and I still think that older Vue API is the most self-explanatory for people who already know HTML and some vanilla JS.

Listen, I checked out Task Manager and Resource Monitor, and I can easily see that the CPU usage maxes out at 12% and never goes over that limit except after a cold boot, and then only for a few minutes. I thought it was definitely some internal hardware throttling due to a thermal issue, but then it would have to affect the Linux OS as well, wouldn't it?

@A4ET8a8uTh0 I was about to suggest having your wife try Ubuntu Mate (via liveUSB/CD so its not a commitment just a test drive for her), since Mate allows for changing the panel to display like Windows (or MacOS, etc.): https://ubuntu-mate.org/features/panel/

But, then, I re-read your initial question...and you stated that she "resists" this (sounds like its because of her work flow comfort level). If that's the case, changing to linux will not help her. If she has to "fight" the UI/UX then this will not make her happy (nor you)....Of course, she can test drive Ubuntu Mate and maybe it might come close...but ultimately this is an exercise that you and your wife can take together to see what about her workflow she likes with windows and see if something on linux makes sense. Basically, learn about her workflow and then you and her can work out what makes sense for her. Who knows, maybe going through that you both will learn something.
...or if Windows is too perfect of a fit for her, then i suggest do as others advised and simply get a Windows machine and keep up with maintenance, backups, etc. I say this as both a husband as well as a super fan of linux!

Yeah, if the manager isn’t giving you a specific plan and goals to improve performance then you should move on.

It’s hard to know for sure but I would interpret what you describe as the manager building a case for dismissal with cause. Since the company can let you go without cause at any time they are doing this either to save on unemployment benefits or as a precaution against a lawsuit. The manager is not telling you anything because he’s made the decision and now just has to avoid HR legal troubles.

Regardless of the reasons or corporate maneuvering you should focus your efforts on moving on. If you can’t make your current situation better then any time and worry you give to it is wasted. It’s easier to get another job while you’re employed so take advantage of the apparently slow process at your current job.

he means its obviously biased, a korean publication will clearly try their best to portray the events as they see it.

South korea is very anti-japan, not that I blame them, but its bad enough that I wouldn't trust news from it unless it has proved itsself to be particularly trustworthy.

This goes the other way around too, to this day koreans in japan are mistreated and japan is always putting propaganda especially in relation to disputed areas like dokdo.

from the recent japan olympics we see they are okay with pissing off all their neighbors as well as being two faced regarding these disputes.

korean and japanese news don't act unbiased at all in relation to eachother.
I've tried Fedora, Arch Linux, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Linux Mint. They all have issues you won't discover in the initial honeymoon stages but will randomly discover issues like sleep mode not working consistently, wifi disconnecting, second monitor not working, battery draining, etc.

If your hardware combination works with 0 issues, consider yourself lucky, but if you plan to upgrade your hardware you need to set aside hours of your time just in case you have issues.

If you're making any sort of serious $$ with your machine and Linux is not a hard requirement, good luck making that investment of time worth it.

I know that if I have an issue with Windows a quick Google search and I can find a solution within minutes. But I don't think I will ever return to debugging for hours why my 2nd monitor with an AMD card refused to work after my Ubuntu desktop went to sleep.
IIRC that story is apocryphal and has been debunked.

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting that both replies so far have played down the financial aspect.

I’d find it strange if a US-based client expected me/us to do a project for them at typical UK freelancer rates. There’s little reason to take on all the extra risks and overheads that would come with the international relationship if the fees weren’t significantly higher as well.

Looking at the recent threads about rates here on HN, it seems rates of $10K-15K per week are not unusual for good freelance devs in the US, but half of that would be doing relatively well for most freelancers in the UK so there’s definitely room for both sides to win financially.
Show HN: I made a modern web UI for Hacker News
Hey HN,

I made this free browser extension that modernizes the Hacker News design.

I previously launched Modern for Wikipedia [1] here back in December, and it seemed like the obvious next choice to build one for HN too! So I've taken what I learned from building that, and have spent all my spare time this year building Modern for HN.

I realize this won't be for everyone, but it was a fun project to work on, and I'm really happy with the result so far. Hope you like it too!

Lots more planned for future updates, and suggestions welcome :)

> 1) Syntactic sugar for if err != nil { return err }; similar to ? in Rust

IMO they could exactly use what you wrote, ie. change gofmt to have it all on one line like that. The biggest annoyance with the error return boilerplate is the waste of vertical space and just squashing it into 1 line would fix that.
Layering. I live in Canada, where it gets quite cold. I live in an old, drafty house. Like, the wind literally whistles through it. The temperature is kept at 18°C during the day. We wear our wool socks, fleece-lined pants, and several layers of shirts.

It absolutely sucks — but it isn’t the end of the world.

Edit: TIL that 18°C is positively balmy compared to how some run their houses!
> It seems like SQLite will only use one index, even in cases where two indexes would better suit the query.

If you mean "one index per table per subquery", then AFAIK this is true of all RDBMSes. A query plan boils down to a bunch of "get [stream of tuples looking like X] out of [table Y]" leaf nodes; and those leaf nodes are then plan-optimized to extract those tuples using some particular strategy, which is always a very strict pipeline of "take a data source [table or index]; slice it to some range; then walk it either ascending or descending, filtering it, potentially with some offset+limit; and, if a non-covering index, dereference the index's file-offset-typed value to replace the index row-tuple with its backing table row-tuple."

There's no room in that pipeline for having two indices work together to materialize one scan. If you want the effect of two indices working together, you either have to create a compound index (for a logical conjunction); or you have to use two subqueries and join them with UNION (for a logical disjunction.)
Yep, that's exactly what the article I linked says too haha.

<<There's many things that are up for negotiation and consideration in a relationship, but wasting someone's time for the sake of some self righteous quest for privacy

Hmm. There was some judgment in that post. A lot of people value things on different scales. My self-righteous quest is valuable to me. It is only fair I would try to preserve some of it.

<<If you use a cellphone, have a WiFi router, don't use a VPN with no records at the router level, or are located within a city, you already don't have privacy no matter how much you personally believe you do.

Privacy is not a binary proposition that can be toggled, but rather, especially in current environment, an effort and a spectrum. If already did not have privacy, why would there be such a mounted effort to ensure that those intrusions are normalized.

That might well be, but I doubt it could be validated with an archive of the site, because much of it probably happened in PMs or was at some point deleted by the mods/admins.

It's incredibly difficult to validate things "on the internet" these days, because basically it boils down to people you don't know claiming things you can't confirm or deny without having been there.

I mean some people maintain that byuu, who is said to be one of the KF victims driven into suicide, cannot even be confirmed dead since nobody except some of his closest friends know where his grave is, and because his death is not registered in the US database of deaths abroad. If I had been harrassed by anyone in the extent he has, this is exactly how I would have staged my death to "disappear" and start a new life in some other country... I really want to believe he is still alive and kicking in a small town somewhere in rural asia...
> Ask 100 ten-year-olds what they want to do, and I’d guess 99 of them will say something that’s related to becoming rich or famous : A musician, YouTuber, actor, NBA player, Elon Musk, and so forth.

For crying out loud, every generation from the 20th century onwards would have given a similar answer at that age. Heck, I wanted to be a Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne type of person when I was 10. Or a famous writer. I am neither. I'm still quite successful and happy.

Yes modern culture is vapid and shallow. Most things that people are into are vapid and shallow, and always have been. It's the essence of the human condition. That doesn't have much impact on the lives people ultimately go on to lead. Your local environment is far more important.

I'm not saying anyone must run Linux, but I am saying that people are resistant to change until you show them how easy it is, and what all they do have to gain.

And maybe it's not so easy, and maybe you're right. Not all things are for all people, some people might genuinely need some Windows software. But if you're a person who is interested in Open Source and using programming languages, you could do much worse than a Linux install (and I'd argue that Windows is squarely in the "much worse" bucket.)

Maybe OP's wife is not that person (my wife definitely is).

But that would be socialism and socialism is bad.

Better to have everyone pull themselves up by their bootstraps than have them be debased by a government that actually provides for their welfare, like they're babies. Americans aren't babies, Americans are cowboys. Cowboys don't need a sovereign wealth fund or a nanny state, they just need a Bible, a gun and a good horse. All of which they're welcome to purchase at free market value.

Yes and no; if we're talking about logging for lumber then it's really a question of efficiency. Logging in optimal ways helps you minimize carbon release and maximize wood production long-term. If most of the wood is used in construction the carbon remains captured so long as the building stands or the timber is re-used or eventually buried, i.e. scrap wood from a tear-down or remodel isn't burned or left near enough to the surface to rot.

Setting aside land for logging this way has the benefit of using economic activity to our advantage. There are obviously limits but there is no one magic solution to climate change.
My understanding is that the only profitable part of being a modern commercial jet engine manufacturer is service contracts - on actually-in-service jet engines. Vs. Boom Supersonic has never built a plane which actually managed to take off. And even their 1/3-scale "technology demonstrator" plane is 5+ years behind its original schedule. (And has yet to taxi along a runway, if I read Wikipedia right.)

My guess - Boom wanted RR to sign a new money-losing or zero-profit R&D deal. RR wasn't interested in the "maybe, eventually, there might be some actual profit for us" economics of that.

There’s no way anyone who was doing delivery of newspapers in the 1940s and making $175 nominal.

Newspapers then cost roughly 5 cents apiece, and in Omaha a route with 100 doors would take 90 minutes. Your monthly gross sales for a seven day route of that size would be $150, and the vast of that would go to purchase papers. You’d probably net $25, and then get $15 in tips.

That’s about the same amount I made on my route in the late 1970s when adjusted for inflation.
Most of them add a not insignificant amount of noise to the sound. It's really obvious when you use compare the sound from a headphone jack with to the sound of the usb c or USBc to 3.5mn adapter on the same phone/tablet/computer. In my experience it's not a OS level difference either. Additionally, I can't charge and play music at the same time with usb c headphones. At the very least I would want two usb c ports in order to have feature parity with what I would be giving up.

That was me honestly, trying not to be harsh. And it seems necessary.

Barely, so she did? And more or less, this was a decision made by you? That is how you put it across.

Edit: It's not a game of gotcha, it's that you made this clear and it was obivous. As I said, you put it across that you made the decsion and acted upon it. And seriously, look into getting help. It's not healthy.
> my wife could barely mount an objection

So she did mount an objection?
I agree this was a bad example. Of course people who try and copy the strategy of a very successful person are not going to be as successful themselves, because the people that come later are going to be competing with millions of others doing the same thing. If you want that level of success, you probably have to be ahead of the curve and do something different from what most people are currently doing.
I've said it exactly twice over the entire lifetime of my account. Try harder.
Three comments on Reddit:

I was an active Reddit user from 2009-2014 and left partially due to the intense groupthink that was forming. Around the time that I left distinctly remember that there were subreddits popping up that were aimed at finding undercover marketing campaigns from long dormant accounts that would otherwise "seem legit". This was a problem then, and judging by some of the comments here, still remains a pernicious problem.

Second, a lot of these recommendations haven't changed since my time in the early 2010s. Just browsing through a few of the subreddits I notice a lot of the same items from 10+ years ago. This reinforces my belief that the cultish groupthink remains strong on that site.

Third, a lot of the "top products mentioned" aren't necessarily good products but rather "entry level" or "bang for your buck" oriented.
