Lol, backpedaling so hard that you have to resort to the "you must be very young, and you don't understand human nature or how the world really works" kind of infantilization. I'm in my 30s. Lack of data points / research is also a nonsense argument because you know quite well that there is no amount of sources that I could list in a hackernews comment that would satisfy you.

You admire this guy Robert as a man who knows how to be successful under capitalism yet you also are comfortable that the only success he has had is baiting people like you into thinking that he is indeed successful.

Thinking that the economy flourished under Trump is sycophantic nonsense. He cut corporate tax rates to incredibly low levels and ordered the fed to cut interest rates despite the already out of control stock market, so of course indexes like the Fortune 500 skyrocketed. Not an indication of the real economy in any way or how the labor class is actually doing, but an indicator of growing CEO wealth and growing inequality

>look at what professors are there, and look at things like what books they've written, have they written any interesting blog posts about their teaching, and that sort of thing.

I wish I did this. I basically applied to Universities ranked highly for my degree at the city I wanted to be in (London) before realizing these rankings are near arbitrary. It was only in my first or second year as I read more papers that I realized I should look into what Professors there publish and was largely unimpressed or didn't care for their subfields but it was too late by then.
If someone from Cloudflare is reading... please don't do this. I'm asking for two reasons:

1. Cloudflare has been great at rapidly iterating (compare the timeline between HTTP/3 support in Cloudflare vs Cloudfront... let alone AWS's ALB that still doesn't support it). Introducing hardware accelerators would surely hinder those efforts (ouch, we need Y to do this that the hardware can't do, and the vendor says it'll take 1 year to have new production-ready cards).

2. Cloudflare has been a good upsteram contributor for the projects they depend on (the kernel, the rust language, etc.). Partnering with a hardware vendor inevitably means closed source, deviations from upstream and ultimately a much larger hurdle to be a good citizen to the open-source community.

As you can see, the reasons are entirely selfish. I'd understand it if you do it anyways because the numbers make sense for your company. In the meantime... thanks for holding out until you really can't justify it anymore!

The breaker is the part of the circuit for the other circuits

you'd have something like

main fuse/switch

So loads on circuit A would not be protected by any fuse but ones at circuit B would.

Also circuit A would allow full generator amps to the devices there, no RCD protection either.
Recently, I've realized I'm talking with a more bots here on HN. I'll read a weird reply to someones comment shaming them and praising China/Russia/etc..., look at the poster, and realize their account was just created and often gets flagged and taken down.

Reddit is the place to hit very influenceable people.
Having had a prior career in college teaching, rate my professor ratings are tied, almost directly, to how friendly you are as a faculty. For institutional "data" that is tied to whether or not a student got what they wanted. Note: Not what they needed.

Yes it asks about quality, but if faculty are friendly and funny, students will score you high. If you are quality but not friendly, students will score you low. It's a popularity contest for college faculty, not exactly a great way to make a decision about your college choice.

If a student doesn't get what they want, even if they get what they need, they will score low. For example: the institution I am currently working with is scored pretty low. They're a science and technology focused institution with a niche related to electrical and mechanical engineering. The first year is general education, then you get into your specific major.

The scores are low, because the schools inside the university are VERY selective. There are a large number of freshmen who do not get into their first choice major their sophomore year. This is because they don't have the necessary achievement to be competitive, not because the school sucks.

But, if you look at the rating on rate my professor, the school looks like it's full of sociopaths bent on destroying children's futures.

And of course non-Citizens presenting for entry at the border are subject to the coercion that refusal to comply will likely result in entry being refused. Noncitizens do actually still have human rights (something Americans often seem to forget - ‘I can’t believe they used a dronestrike on a US citizen’, etc)

But take the example of a person who has been issued a visa, looking to enter the US with the intent to immigrate legally, doing everything by the book. On their phone they likely have all the privileged communications with their immigration attorney - all the conversations about which visa strategy to pursue, etc. now they’re at the border, they can be pressured by an agent into handing that data over ‘voluntarily’. What protections does that person have as to how that information is used in respect of their future immigration application? Are they entitled to due process protections? Have they waived attorney client privilege? Once they later become a citizen, is that data still on file and searchable by DHS?

Or a green-card holding US resident, returning home from a business trip, with corporate data on their phone - can they refuse to hand it over, and risk being refused entry and heap or fixing their US residency? If they can’t, does that mean some employers might refuse to hire green card holders to mitigate such risks?

This data collection is egregious even when applied to noncitizens.

You can't beat open-source. SaaS offerings usually try to generalize a service to serve the largest amount of people, when in fact what you want is solution to what your doing, not to what most people are doing.

When you're using open-source software it's very probable that you'll find people with the same problem you have, and in most of cases there will be a solution waiting for you already. Not to mention the cost savings too.
Reminders:

yt-dlp[1] allows you to download videos to disk via command line. Lots of options.

Also, there's this Google-owned youtube-nocookie.com domain which is lighter than main one. DuckDuckGo offers to show YouTube videos from it under the "Videos" tab (not when video is suggested on the "All" tab) without fully switching browser to video's page on YT site.

Also, you can use it to listen to YT audio on iOS Safari, on an locked iPhone. To do so, search the video in DDG, switch to "Videos" tab, play it on duckduckgo.com on the results page (without switching to www.youtube.com). Lock your phone and it will stop playing audio. Tap the screen (don't unlock) and you'll have the usual media player on the lock screen, showing the title and author of YT video. Simply hit the play button and you can switch the screen off.

EDIT: reply to a freshly deleted "don't use if you don't pay" comment:

I own a BluRay or DVD copy of every single movie or TV series I pirated and liked. I paid studios times more than I would if I never pirated and seen those products in the first place.

After Google bought YouTube, other media streaming services started to diminish. Some content started to be only available on YouTube. Until Google was a team player and the "don't be evil" slogan wasn't trashed - I used the service and seen and was annoyed by ads. Then there were more ads. And many, many, many, many other issues with Google.

I ditched the account I had with them. Haven't made a single search with their engine in 3+ years I believe.

I use yt-dlp to watch YT videos and encourage everyone to do the same if they are annoyed by Google's user-hostile practices.

To YouTube employees reading:

I pay for YouTube premium.

So it really sucks when I google the name of a movie, click to play the trailer, and then it plays a pre-roll ad. This only happens with the movie trailers that you one click play from the search results. If I click on something that goes to the youtube domain or youtube app, it's fine.

I'd like no videos when I'm playing videos from google. My google account and youtube premium account are the same, so I'm not sure why it doesn't link.

personally I think the meaning of that "the Man" phrase is something like.. "a person of authority (male) acting to further authority (and its privelages/power/profits) for its own sake" .. in other words, the presentation is appeal-to-authority directives, given for the sake of reinforcing the existing authority and its privileges.

This is typical for military-to-civilian communication, defending and advancing big bureaucracy, and territory administration including highway transportation, rental property, the insurance industry, big agribusiness; less so for technocratic authority for example current network big tech, social media manipulation, women in positions of power for liberal political reasons, and obvious new wealth of any kind.

That's good to know. Previously I'd used Amazon Drive, Google Drive and alternatives where I had restored some files. Always worked as desired. I was already switching from Google Workspaces to cut costs, and priced out how much I'd save by using Glacier for my off-site backup, and it was a no-brainer to make the switch. This guy had a decent write-up on the pricing:

It also means that code using smaller vectors from an older version just gets faster, as long as the new core can schedule/retire instructions fast enough to keep up. If it can't then going for 256 bit is the best choice although it seems like newer chips are going for wider execution (and that each 128 bit unit is in fact individually accessible).
Goroutines are efficient enough, and Go compiles to native code. I'm sure that Rust/Tokio or handcrafted C can be faster, but I think Go is fast enough for 99% of use cases.

I'm building a service manager à la systemd in Go as a side project, and I really like it - it's not as low level as Rust and has a huge runtime but it is impressively fast.
With larger companies stock grants are of little value to gain.

Do Cloud Developers Prefer CLIs or Web Consoles?
"...Despite the increased importance of Cloud tooling, and many large-scale studies of Cloud users, research has yet to answer what tool modalities (e.g. CLI or web console) developers prefer. In formulating our studies, we quickly found that preference varies heavily based on the programming task at hand. To address this gap, we conducted a two-part research study that quantifies modality preference as a function of programming task.

Part one surveys how preference for three tool modalities (CLI, IDE, web console) varies across three classes of task (CRUD, debugging, monitoring). The survey shows, among 60 respondents, developers most prefer the CLI modality, especially for CRUD tasks.

Monitoring tasks are the exception for which developers prefer the web console..." -

I don't know if there were libraries or things like that provided by Adobe that was included in News.

Its the age old question of software interfaces right?

My assumption would that if Sun had their own implementation with no code from Adobe, they should be able to open it up. But unlike that that is something Adobe would have liked.
As early as the mid-1970s, minicomputers and mainframes started incorporated microprocessors for things like system monitoring, booting, and peripheral interfaces. In 1981, the original IBM PC's keyboard had a 8048 microcontroller internally to handle communication with the PC. Architecturally, this is still how it's done, usually just all shrunk down to a single IC now. Pretty much any expansion card or USB device will have a microcontroller in it, possibly multiple.
Installing an outlet yourself? Buy one for $10 or something, more if it's some special outlet, maybe spend an hour or two at most with the actual install.

Hire an electrician to install it for you? Between markups and labor, easily several hundred bucks at the very least. A thousand is entirely plausible.

It's not quite 3/4, is it? More like 1/2? And that's if you're earning 1000/day (sorry, can't type that currency symbol)... which is like 10x the UK median wage. At lower revenues you're paying much less. But still, your point stands -- it's taking money away from you that you want to keep and spend your own way. Whether that exact percentage is 46% or 66% or whatever doesn't seem quite relevant if you'd rather it be as close to 1% as possible :)

Are there any examples of a system like you're describing working out in reality? Doesn't have to be a country, but maybe a local government, a private community, a membership club, etc.?

Sounds like a libertarian fantasy out of Atlas Shrugged or Bioshock... but hey, we all have our dreams, and my utopia would be your dystopia, lol.
This is a classic case of being overwhelmed by complexity, when in truth complexity is an advantage. SaaS services tend to be your biggest friend on the first month of usage, and them when you need more that's it, you're stuck to that.

namespaces systems add complexity to the SDK exponentially from their "feature" set.

Personnally, in C, I code my own "name mangling", aka namespace management with the C preprocessor:

#define short_name absolute_path_namespace_name

... code

#undef short_name

The additional work is much less toxic than a full blown namespace system. And I get easy one-compilation-unit code: C applications can grow to extremely large, be fully "componentized" without symbol collision.

It didn't look as clean and tidy as it does in this emulator. Also, my 12 year old brain wasn't smart enough to think of double buffering, or to draw the new position before erasing the old.

> Has anybody demonstrated that the total ad time is increasing?

You mean scientifically?

Sample size = 1, total ad time most certainly increased.

The last 10 videos I played had 2 ads, one short unskippable (10s, not 5s), and one long that wasn't skippable until a long time had passed (like 30s). It was the style of ad that was a short-length video that was in itself somewhat captivating. I think I went something like 10 seconds into letting me skip, because it was about smart homes and I thought it was interesting.

Ads are truly a pest. Especially when they work.
