5. Catch up with friends and family

A month is a good amount of time to build a healthy habit that can take you into the new job.

Regardless of what you do, I hope you enjoy the time off!
It's because people get a really large amount of value out of real (or near-real) time discussion- in many cases more than they get out of archival reference. Forums slow down the interaction time drastically. I'm plenty old enough to remember using forums and subsequently switching to chat, and the ability to work through things and problem solve increased massively. Not being able to find things later is, well, a problem for later, so it gets deprioritized vs the problems of now.

This forum channels thing might be a middle ground that gives the possibility of free flowing interactions but with structure, and indexing as a possibility.
Not ironic, that is what I meant. I didn't realize they were two different people, my bad.
One cannot logically conclude from a "racist" outcome, however that is defined, that the inputs to that outcome are also racist, because the intervening interactions are so complex and uncontrollable (that is, it is a chaotic system) that the outcome that emerges is almost always not what anybody intended. That is, the activities of institutions with no "actively racist" policies may very well result in "racist" outcomes. I believe we are in agreement here.

Where we disagree is on the thesis that you can control for the outcome of such a chaotic system, especially using something as flawed as the postmodern "anti-racist" movement that is in vogue. Many eggs have already been and will continue to be broken in service of the anti-racist omelette, and we will all be the worse off for it.
Actually there is Credential Guard which in concept does this. But Microsoft only use this for Kerberos/Domain stuff and it's only supported in Enterprise Edition.

They only don't support this because Windows is market segmented and Microsoft have fuck all product management and direction that isn't run by an army of crack smoking monkeys.
“We avoided firing people who aren’t white” vs “we preferred firing people who are white.”

This school of thought purports to agree that harmful impact supersedes good intent.

They just refuse to recognize the individual as the ultimate minority.
This is bad. If this happens before 2024, we're looking at a Trump 2nd and 3rd term.
My parents got me a iPod 30gb when I was in middle school. I still use it as my music player in my car.

I’ve had to change the battery, and the iPod is quite beat up. But it works great.
Yeah, 5-15% sounds awesome. I was recently considering doing some project-based work through a consulting firm and their cut was more like 60%. Wouldn't have to do any sales, but that seems absurd.

I wonder if it is a US thing of employees having too little power. A couple years ago I heard an interview on Fresh Air [1] where a woman talked about her experience cleaning houses. She said she at first made $8.55/hour while the agency charged clients $20/hour (later it was $9.25 and $25, respectively). That means the agency got 57% (63%). I told my wife if we ever hire someone to clean our house I'm asking how much the person doing the work gets paid, and if it's not above something like 70% of the total, we're not doing it.

This. ever seen Internet historian? The ad segment is some of the best content of yt.
That's a little disingenuous, regarding the F-15 -- there is the A/B series, with A being single-seat and B being the two-seat trainer, and the C/D series, with the same distinction between the two models. Both the F-15A and the F-15C are air superiority fighters, with an exclusively air-to-air role. The F-15E is a multirole fighter-bomber, not an air superiority fighter. The F-15X is an F-15E repurposed as a beyond visual range (BVR) missile truck, with data links to AEWC planes that can provide targeting solutions for those missiles. All of the letters between E and X have not been used.
How about FTP?
I've noticed lately they've deliberately gotten intolerably annoying, to coerce viewers into paying. It seems every day they up the ante, until it seems there are two or three unskippable ads every 5 minutes.
I always tell people that I could probably "architect" the infrastructure of my whole company (Fortune 500) in a few days if you ignored the little pesky implementation details.
Nobody is going to disclose & use anti-satellite technology over internet censorship. Hell, China isn't even aiming for bulletproof terrestrial censorship - they are happy with "good enough".
So, gosh, prices will retreat back to what they were in … May? BFD.
I think discord is a very good knowledge storage channel for newbies who are too novice to even form their questions coherently and need help to do so. Though it is taxing to help them and takes a lot of patience.
Isn't that the short term thinking that's basically killing social media sites. Like yeah we engage for hours on low quality content for now but eventually move on. Instead what would be better is consistent high quality content that keeps a user coming back day after day, even if a session is shorter. It's reliably good. Like Facebook has nothing interesting for a week even if it's find my self trapped in infinite scroll for longer. I'll eventually leave.
Lol, sure of course, everyone should spend $300 on headphones. And, of course they will never have to replace them. Otherwise, they will have no idea what music actually sounds like.
Jesus.
I think we can agree on the following:

A temperature increase exists where earth will become uninhabitable by humans. One study mentioned above estimates that temperature increase is 12C. It could be higher or lower, but we don't really know without further studies on the topic.

Before reaching that temperature, life on earth will become a lot harsher for all due to the effects of climate change, and we should be doing all we can to avoid those harsher conditions, regardless of what we think the upper bound temperature for humanity to continue existing is.
> there's no concept of a separate user-inaccessible data compartment

Would a TPM serve here, in some hypothetical world where folk were willing to put in the work to do this?

Or I guess I'm asking, naively, what are the functional differences between the TPMs on our desktop/laptop machines, and what smartphones have in them?
I think it's the best strategy, but it's not hard to imagine another one. If CEOs were outlawed tomorrow, we would still have large companies. They would adapt with a new structure.
There is talk about allowing public/discoverable servers to be indexed.

I don't know when those plans might materialize, but it is very much top of mind for us that there is ever growing knowledge on Discord that isn't accessible via search indexes.
I had a buddy [1] that worked in the kitchen at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station for a few seasons in 2012-2014. From what he told me: The internet works at certain times of the day at different bandwidths depending on the satellite. I think at that time there was 3 in orbit, and one of them was a retired Navy sat that had like dial-up speed.

Also everything that goes to the station stays there so the vinyl collection is amazing, and they have a huge Betamax / VHS library and most importantly they have /The Thing/ on Betamax.

Edit: Here's the satellite schedule for this week, https://www.usap.gov/technology/documents/SPSAT%2020220915.p... and you can sign up for a listserv of updates here: https://www.usap.gov/technology/1935/

These are the available birds in orbit for Antarctica:

Narrowband: Iridium Multi-Channel System (IMCS)
It's not actually that much better. It's mostly chat + sugar (aka good branding and emotes)
The Starlink orbit is low enough that it would only be unusable for a year or so I'd imagine. Small debris will drop out quite fast.
A fun essay that really tries to nail down the "Why" in a real-world way.

It mentions that functional programming removes the tripwire of state mutation as one of the "whys", but my experience slightly differs here.

I found, after years of struggling with the "why" of object-oriented programming and its early obsessions with design patterns, that functional programming simply resonated with me personally. To this day, I have a bit of inner cringe when reading (for example) Java code.

Early in my career, I thought my lack of "getting OOP" was due to some profound missing piece of understanding. But then Lisp (and Clojure) just made sense. Thinking functionally just works for me. It's not so much that I couldn't use OOP but just that each time I worked in deeper OOP projects, I felt some internal friction or vague uneasiness with the code.

I did find that functional programming made me significantly more comfortable with OOP languages. YMMV.
> >Noncompetes are pretty toothless

> Not true.

Sure, if you delete the "in several jurisdictions". But when you read the entire sentence, then what I said is correct.
If I had this time, I'd have learnt game programming/hacking basics.
Unfortunately fsarchive files aren't mountable. But mksquashfs is not useful for archiving due to its lack of some options. There is squashfs-tools-ng though, which can convert tar into squashfs.

But anyway, fsarchiver is my tool of choice for fs backups.
A new ice bucket challenge.
How do you deal with the issue that a project might split itself in multiple modular parts to maximize the income from this scheme?

If StackAid becomes popular, I could see developers going that route to maximize their income.
In the 3rd party section, no mention of HAProxy as a candidate, any specific reason for that?
Is it possible to setup within two minutes forum that will be hosted for free and has decent interface with minimal ads (to the point that many will not recognize them as ads)?

Right now Discord has great usability and many people have Discord accounts.
That’s all certainly true, and he should have moved to third for A-Rod, and yet he is still a hall of fame calibre player, which don’t exactly come around every day.

Despite his -9.4 dWAR, his 96.3 oWAR still leaves him well beyond the 60 WAR HOF barrier.

Jeter is such an odd player since he is simultaneously one of the best to ever play the game and massively overrated. I’m not sure there is another baseball player who fits that description.
I think most people rate him highly based on being the captain of a winning team.
Maybe they’re just trying to get more people to walk out voluntarily
Yes! I did Ruby and JRuby in Netbeans for quite awhile. Deploying JRuby to GlassFish was just a nice right-click away.
What do you want to do? Or, what do you want to not do, that you're asking others?

Things I'd suggest:

- Take the time to sort out any feelings you have about your old job, if you'd benefit from doing so.

- Take the time to spend a long time reading books / watching Netflix / playing videogames.

- Look into a more creative / active hobby.

- Develop professional skills which are interesting to you and will likely help at your new job.
If I had this time, I'd have learned game dev or basics of computer hacking.
So Discord displaces forums..and then brings them back in a worse way (walled garden, in a web app, probably no search engine indexing because they aren't actually web pages)
Doesn't Docker also do something similar at ~/.docker? This isn't all too egregious as long as the permissions are set to allow only the current user to rw it.
Is there someone offering decent forum hosting for free?
I think what people always miss in the "come full circle" bit is that it's usually "come full circle, but having integrated what we learned along the way." Discord took over due to the ability to have real or near-real time communication, and the vastly improved UX around a whole host of things. Discord was never intended/ to replace forums, that just happened because people started using in that way.

Now they are recreating the forum experience with the addition of all of the learnings from having built discord. Should be good!
You mean like a giant, tailless, stealth, flying wing? Or would that would be too gimmicky?
That sounds quite pleasant, but I wonder who is storing their home directories on NTFS?

I also became aware of the possibility of people putting their own QR code sticker over another. Quite easy to send people to a phishing site... enter your credit card to "buy" that beer...

Still, personally, the North Korelia Project [1] and the public debates/podcasts with its author(s) convinces me of the link

[1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30083543/
The author is “a common person” though? They’re a fiction writer who doesn’t and hasn’t worked professionally as a software developer. that was the point. They’re “home chefs” not professional.
Hey! love the thing.
Quick suggestion to the README on the section "Relative navigating and moving"
It looks like I have to press H <AND> <-, to move left - I am assuming that I can do either or, a la vim.
A small copy edit would make that clearer.
Kudos!
> we have gone full circle

And ended with better interface and proprietary lock-in
I would imagine that being sedentary and/or obese is a significant risk factor, although it is surprisingly difficult to quickly locate estimates of relative effect size. Official sites like the CDC's mostly reiterate the popular weak-effect nonsense about cholesterol etc. without any numeric scale comparisons.
Sure, but how do you propose to "blanket" China with Starlink modems?
I love the DVD bouncing logo. I like videos where people get really excited about it hitting one of the corners, prompting cheers. There's a bunch from bus trips but here's a bigger one in a stadium [1]

The Arabic scripts are breathtaking but I had some difficulty discerning the Reem Kufi examples. It might be just me, but I've never seen the right+left connected ع drawn that way in Kufi scripts. It seems both alien and a poor match for the rest of the characters in the Reem Kufi fonts - I first thought it was a ligature error!
I do, for the ones I watch regularly. Sadly, I do this through Patreon, which appears to be dying.
Another way might have been look at it like a free loan. Invest the money (in something relatively safe), and then pay it back having earned yourself some interest / return for your trouble of looking after their money.
Wow ... 100 Gbit/s.
Where do you work? That’s some serious traffic.
I keep trying mind maps and getting frustrated because my mind works differently. Anybody know of ones that let you start out non-hierarchical?

For me, key nodes are often obvious long before relationships are. E.g., if I'm working with post-it notes, I might write a bunch of notes, cluster them, winnow, and only then want to start locking in relationships between items. Has anybody seen something that's pretty straightforward that supports that approach?
The Online Business of Monkey Torture
Have you considered aligning sublists to the parent node? Right now, your eyes have to leap upwards from a node to get the first child of the list. And since each list has a different length, you have to scan upwards a different amount every time. If every list was aligned with the parent, you could just read left-to-right.
I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with yelling at people as your primary method of motivating them. Which, according to Joel's story, was Bill's default method in every review.
so its just threads but a different view?
Forcing each question to be asked fresh also eliminates out-of-date replies. I often run into answers on forum archives that no longer work because the fast-moving software they are regarding has changed.
The Instagram account linked by the article is still up. The account links to their Patreon where you can subscribe to "pepperoni pizza" and "habenero" levels.

This is disgusting and wrong. I don't care if it's legal. I don't want a company I give money to doing this.

Full Disclosure – Netgear WNDR3400v2 Authenticated RCE
Just so no one reads this and thinks it's a good idea to tell the company to simply fuck off if the same thing happens to them:

There is such a thing as acting in good faith. When you notice an obvious mistake in your favor (even if it's made by The Evil Faceless Corporation of Malevolency), trying to tell someone about it is not only going to protect your ass if it winds up in court, it's just The Right Thing To Do.

(Of course, if they ignore you or send you in circles, then you have a stronger case that they don't want it back all _that_ bad.)
Wow thanks for this. Installed Yattee. Already knew about adguard, but Youtube has managed to beat it on occasion.
Since on most systems the only two users are root/admin and the user's personal account, they could also just read it out of the process as well
> It’s also not hard to find diets high in SFA like keto and paleo and their practitioners being relatively healthy.

Keto actually looks like it might be bad for long term use based on some studies. For someone who finds that it helps them lose weight, it will still be beneficial as long as they they continue to lose weight, but it probably isn't great as a long-term lifestyle change when not losing weight.
It doesn't even need to "not work." You can ship a V1/prototype/MVP product that does work with a small, focused team. But extending that product to support all the additional use cases, resolve feedback, address tech-debt/scale/performance, etc ... requires investment ... more investment probably than the initial version. But the version version is "done" - why invest more?
The website allows you to load images individually by clicking on them, it goes well with the title :)
You're definitely right, but one mitigating factor is that Starlink satellites are in a pretty low orbit. They'll naturally decay relatively quickly and drop out of orbit at end of life.

Edit: a link that goes over some of this https://www.spacex.com/updates/#sustainability
I'd never heard of that before. I wish it were a thing where I live. But at least in my apartment complex, the recycling bin is right next to the mailboxes, so I can conveniently just move the junk mail straight from my mailbox to the bin.
Ask HN: How does your company manage browser extension releases?
Our team has been struggling with a good release process for our browser extensions.

With Chrome Extensions, every build needs to be reviewed by the chrome team. This can sometimes take 5-6 days and has never taken less than 24 hours. If a version is published, there is no way to revert to an old version in the event of bugs/issues that make it through the testing cycle.

True CI/CD is out of the question since we have no way to automatically release. Additionally, because of the extension architecture, automated testing is limited almost exclusively to unit level testing the client code.

How has your team overcome this? Any advice welcome here.

I buy into the counter theory that high fructose corn syrup is killing us all and that arteriosclerosis is one of its manifestations. I think some people are even trying to blame it for osteoporosis. Something to do with blood pH and bones dumping calcium to buffer it.

Bullshit or not, my life does seem to be better without cheap soda in it. I drink fancy soda as a treat, instead of being on a hedonic treadmill of several a day. Every time I quit soda in my 20’s and early 30’s I lost 10 lbs. Eventually it stuck.

The advent of Kombucha changed that landscape quite a bit. Now I have a beverage that’s < 100 calories and I can’t chug.
Apt association I'd never made before. Communication in discord does have similar traits as communication in IRC.

IRC is indexed via passive bots. I can still go back and search my old IRC user names in popular search engines and find messages I sent 15 years ago.
It's now the Space Development Agency's (SDA) National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA). But yes, Starlink looks a hell of a lot like the Transport Layer of the NDSA, which is meant to be a mesh network comprising of thousands of satellites in LEO.

Either Starlink is the Transport Layer of NDSA, or it proves that SpaceX has the technical ability to create the Transport Layer (no other company does.)

They won't make it so annoying that they lose substantial percentage of viewers.

Hopefully not off topic: I continue to be surprised at how many of my friends don't pay for an ad-free YouTube (virtually all of them!). For about $15/month my wife and I get YouTube Music that includes ad-free (but content creators sometimes embed their own ads) YouTube. A bonus: when listening to old music from my youth, I am surprised at how often they have old videos available of the bands playing.
You don't need to be a developer for test flight. I am not an iOS developer, but I have installed test flight for access to a few different apps.
"but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such."

1. Make uses mtime to determine whether inputs have changed. Bazel uses a hash of all inputs to the target (file contents + other inputs like environment variables)

2. Make lets you define inputs and outputs, but doesn't enforce them. Bazel sandboxes build actions; if you try to import a dependency that you haven't listed as a direct or transitive dependency, the build will fail. This is leads to users never (or at least very rarely) having to run `bazel clean`.
Hmm you're right, now I'm sure I have to be misremembering the book I intended to link, there certainly was a chapter on user space drivers which was of course more digestible compared to LDD.

> a printer class driver is not the worst exercise

Maybe that's why it's a good introductory to kernel drivers programming? Some friends back in school were tasked the exact same thing (implement usblp 'from scratch').

As long as their search feature continues being so monumentally terrible to the point where you can't even reliably search for specific words(and straight up is unable to search for exact strings[0]) I doubt any kind of forum-like usage will be pleasant.

If you run a business, do all of your customers send you a 1099 for the money they pay you? No, that would be wild. Your revenue is still income (corporate or individual income). 1099s are only applicable for certain situations.
I don't really get the point of a hierarchical mind map. Why not just use a nested list? (Seems to be standard for mindmaps, so I'm criticizing this project specifically.)
I had the exact same experience. 30 minutes paired leetcode type test of moderate difficulty. My solution seemed algorithmically sound and efficient, but the test wasn't passing at the buzzer. The guy failed me and we said our goodbyes. As soon as we're done, I slowly look at the problem without the distraction and see that I just need to swap two variables. I email the guy back barely a minute after we hang up, explaining that I just figured what was missing. He emails me that he's sorry I have to try again in a few months. Three years later I'm here on HN learning that I dodged a bullet.
