> Forums weren't replaced by discord. Forums were replaced by Reddit. Although you post still stands, I think you're very wrong in thinking about the reasoning why people use one or another platform.

There may be some contexts where that's true, but overwhelmingly I've seen Discord replacing forums, particularly for small, closed groups. Wheereas I've never so much as heard of any group adopting a private subreddit! But tons have ended up with a discord as their central social point (whether or not they need or use the voice feature).

I've seen this especially in gaming circles (guilds, clans, etc.) and to a lesser extent in other hobbies or in patient support groups.

I know discord isn't a good match for the technical features of forums, but it seems to be a good fit for how people actually used them.
I did! There are a few places it transcribes incorrectly, but overall I'm very impressed. Here's the first ~30 seconds:

[00:00.000 --> 00:09.000] Look, I was going to go easy on you, not to hurt your feelings, but I'm only going to get this one chance.
[00:09.000 --> 00:11.000] Something's wrong, I can feel it.
[00:11.000 --> 00:17.000] It's just a feeling I've got, like something's about to happen, but I don't know what.
[00:17.000 --> 00:21.000] If that means what I think it means, we're in trouble, big trouble.
[00:21.000 --> 00:24.000] Had to be as bananas as you say, I'm not taking any chances.
[00:24.000 --> 00:26.000] You're just one to die for.
[00:26.000 --> 00:32.000] I'm beginning to feel like a rap god, rap god. All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod.
I have used Teams for 2 years now.

The search actually used to be better earlier, it would show you the message and also the messages around it, now it doesn't.

I have a very decent build at home, new gen amd, 64gigs RAM, the linux desktop app still crashes, it slows down during search whereas slack runs like a monster compared to it.

Whenever a message comes, the tab will do its best to get you out of focus, sucks as a programmer in the zone. I had to mute lot of chats.

Actually no one at work used the teams features, it was only the normal chat. It sucked because there wasn't even the reply feature earlier and we still can't create threads.

It doesn't integrate with any bots, jira or git.

The people who make the decision on what comm platform to use don't need these features. They use email for written coms, and teams for calls.

They feel opting for something other than teams or jira will look bad on them if it doesn't work.
Websdr started a 3 year journey/obsession into SDR for me. Proceed with caution.

FWIW KiwiSDR has a map of accessible receivers similar to websdr.

One cool thing you can do is TDoA analysis with multiple receivers to attempt to locate the origin of a signal (click extensions->TDoA in the radio GUI)

The IDB idea is very cool. We are doing something similar to manage our platform users, apps, etc(internal metadata for our platform). But extending it for the use case you mentioned seems very interesting!
It's really hard for me to imagine any alternate scenario where the IT crowd could be improved upon. It was kind of a perfect storm - Richard Ayoade during the only time he ever was or ever will be likable or funny, Christopher Morris back when was one of the funniest people on earth, Matt Berry just being absolutely brilliant and completely stealing the show, the cultural "geek" zeitgest of the time, etc etc. It's not a repeatable experiment, and there's no point trying.

I switched to fly.io not because of their excellent docs, but their performance with my service. I've tried Koyeb and railway.app before. fly.io was the best Heroku replacement.

I’d guess yt-dlp (1) + cookies from your browser or Google username and password. You can run yt-dlp on iPhone in a-Shell (2).

a-Shell supports Apple Shortcuts, so you could, for example, make a shortcut that runs ‘ yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio -o "%
(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" <PLAYLIST URL>’, which downloads a playlist and maintains the order (e.g 1, 2, 3 and so on).

On a side note, a-Shell can help you get around tethering limits using iOS-SOCKS-Server (3) or an equivalent. On Android, PDANet is great for this, but on iOS it takes a little more work.

That seems pretty roundabout, when you have solutions like the Elgato CamLink that just takes an HDMI input from your camera and shows up as a completely standard USB Video Class device to the OS.

Not necessary. Just very highly recommended. I can still deliver my cron emails from a rando host successfully.

What makes me happy is when Dreamforce isn't here.
> It isn't because Microsoft lacks good programmers.

Their products targeted to other programmers seem to be nicer to work with. E.g. VS Code, C#, SQL Server. The products aimed at the ‘knowledge workers’, like Teams, and SharePoint are garbage.
I think part of what you’re seeing is that a) Trump sort of trolled the other major NATO partners into at least thinking about investing in their own defense, but it’s too little and way too late, so they’re still completely dependent[1]; b) the intricacies of the dependence on Russian fossil fuels, which needs no elaboration here since it’s a weekly feature on the HN front page at this point. Germany’s collaboration, such as it is, might be more tied to her own acknowledgment of bad energy policy and represents fleeting efforts to apologize. Major industry is at risk of shutdown or idling over this, so they definitely feel the pain.

[1] during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan it become clear that non-US NATO partners were actually unable to run their own air operations without American military support and management. That’s more or less a tacit admission that you can’t do anything in a real 21st century war, which is also a lesson Russia has been painfully learning the hard way.
> if the intent really was to not release they definitely don't need that many people sucking down wages.

Of course they do. They need artists to build the ships they sell and they need developers to create demos of stuff they have no hope of delivering, in order to convince people to continue parting with their money.
I don't think I've ever had Teams crash on me, or even hang noticeably in a few years of using it. I am always on fairly beefy devices though.
> (3) `time.time()` is not monotonic.

I just winced in pain thinking of the ways that can bite you. I guess in a cloud/virtualized environment with many short lived instances it isn't even that obscure an issue to run into.

A nice discussion on Stack Overflow:

I kind of agree with both angles. My take is that AI generated images need to be more in the average of available information to match expectations of people, who normally have limited knowledge. AI generated images come from a sample of the real, too. (Sorry this feels off topic).
Doesn't seem forced. The command listed is "btrfs filesystem defrag -czstd -r /" and the results include the "none" compression. That means most likely some files were rejected.
I have no concept of what this feeling might be, because I feel nothing "mixed" about Stallamn's rightness. He simply is right.
Hm, but does this explain why some fans show higher inflow than outflow?
Teams, over 2 years on this laptop and I think there was only one single instance of a problem. Excel, on the other hand...
That's interesting but not what I expected when I read "reliability". I would have expected SLO metrics like uptime of the network or similar metrics that users would care about more. Usually when scaling a system that's built well you don't have hard short constraints on how fast an instance needs to be spun up. If you are unable to spin up any that can be problematic of course. Ideally this is all automated so nobody would care much about whether it takes a retry or 30s longer to create an instance. If this is important to you, you have other problems.
Good point and research.
I tried something similar, i.e. MP3 playback from SD card on a "small board". Because I am an electronics noob progress is slow. There's a lot to consider like SPI multiplexing when you run a display and the SD card adapter over SPI (that display/SD combo in the "tape player" project is quite interesting). First I went with some lm386 audio amp until I learned it's a lot easier with an I2S amp such as it is used in Walkm3person.

After some semi-successful attempts with a Metro M4 Express (samd51 chip) I have now switched to ESP8266 (built-in Wifi opposed to the M4). It never occurred to me that the Raspberry Pico is powerful enough for MP3 playback.
This is not reliability. This is a measure of how much spare capacity AWS seems to be leaving idle for you to snatch on-demand.

This is going to vary a lot based on the time of year. Why don't you try this same experiment at around some time when there's a lot of retail sales activity (Black Friday), and watch AWS suddenly have much less capacity to dole out on-demand.

To me reliability is a measure of what a cloud does compared to what it says it will do. GCP is not promissing you on-demand instances instantaneously is it? If you want that ... reserve capacity.

> I honestly can't think of another industry that relies so heavily on things they get for free and come with no warranty.

I can think of plenty examples of such industries: mining, logging, oil, wind and solar energy etc. However, the difference is that any imperfections in the "things", in case of those industries, is literally caused by forces of nature, and measures have been developed over centuries to mitigate or avoid them.

With open source, the free "things" are created by humans, and it's too easy to fall into the trap of seeing them as just another set of "vendors", even though the base principles - which make things free on the first place - are actually quite different.

I'm my mind, any company depending on open source has only a few possible options:

1. Directly pay someone - either the original authors or someone else, inside the company or outside - to ensure the maintenance and support for the open source code.

2. Not use open source and only go for commercial vendors, which may not always be available.

In what fucking universe has any business major ever passed as smart?
Have you seen Richard Ayoade's other work? I can't agree with you there. His appearances on 8 out of 10 cats are hilarious.

To be fair, I'm sure if Richard Ayoade were here, his response would be you are plainly incorrect in that he has never been and never will be likeable or funny or any other positive social trait.
*2. People are paid what a replacement would cost

Let’s suppose for a moment that employees are interchangeable resources without discernible differences and companies are profit maximizing entities. How is it possible under such assumptions that 2-5-10x salaries exist when 1x replacements are readily available elsewhere? To argue that people are only paid what their replacement would cost also requires an explanation why a garden variety remote employee (or a team of four experienced veterans) is not a replacement for locally grown organic talent? So far there is no convincing explanation to back that up.

Because companies don't always go for the cheapest labor. There are other factors...
It must have, if you have done an Amazon purchase and had it delivered to your home.

And, if it really hasn't for you, it has for the many millions of people who have substituted getting things delivered to their house instead of driving out to get it themselves.

For better or worse, electricfication of transportation, whether that involves automation or not, is happening and will be impactful.
"Guaranteed" has different tiers of meaning - both theoretical and practical.

In many cases, "guaranteed" just means "we'll give you a refund if we fuck up". SLAs are very much like this.

IN PRACTICE, unless you're launching tens of thousands of instances of an obscure image type, reasonable customers would be able to get capacity, and promptly from the cloud.

That's the entire cloud value proposition.

So no, you can't just hand-waive past these GCP results and say "Well, they never said these were guaranteed".
There’s a bunch of advantages even with bad video from meet or zoom.

Big sensor + nicer fast lenses means you require a lot less light. Nice fast glass means you can blur out the background optically without all the artefacts introduced by software background removal. If you use a zoom lens, you have a tonne of control over the framing.
If you Google "whitewater strid" there are many videos of people kayaking it. Here's another one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MkPUPxPfFHw

It’s only a falacy if the authority is not an expert in the field they’re speaking about. Example, a religious leader speaking about science matters, or an accountant speaking about engineering matters.

Otherwise, the argument is 100% valid.
And yet I suspect the money the libraries paid still works for Wiley.
Seems like it's targeting the wrong crowd. Framework laptops would naturally appeal to the tinkerer and techie crowd, meanwhile ChromeOS is very much a casual user kind of OS. It makes sense to have $300 Acer laptops running ChromeOS, not so much a $1000 repairable laptop...
Many models don't give you "clean" HDMI output. It's usually low-res with overlay junk.

edit: if the elgato can do it with HDMI, the question remains can it be done directly with SD out?

e2: also, SD card readers/adapters are cheap and plentiful, this seems like it should be easier to implement
I was applying for a job at a wealthy gaming corp. However, they wouldn't invest in a smoother video-calling software like Zoom, as they just used Teams bundled in their existing Office license.

I got late to a meeting because Teams would crash. When I opened Teams a few minutes before the call, my laptop froze. I thought my laptop performance would improve once enough memory has been allocated to Teams, but it never recovered from the freeze. I had to reboot and start Teams. It finally connected a few minutes after the proposed start time. The HR staff were in a bitter tone by then.

I couldn't get the job. I wish Microsoft would compensate me for a loss caused by their product. They shouldn't be allowed to ship sloppy software under their massive userbase and Microsoft brand (a supposed promise of quality).
That also means that you cannot mute other members. When I'm in a meeting in my office and a colleague sitting next to me is in the same meeting, I can hear them twice, once in real life and once in teams, a couple of hundred seconds later.
Sometimes, when I have had too much poor grammar, hyperbole, and muddled exposition inflicted upon my eyeballs, I go to legislation.govt.nz to read some laws. It's soothing.

(The website's UI for finding legislation could do with improvement. The laws themselves I find to be well written.)
I started Teams the other day and the whole screen was upside down as if I’d rotated my surface. Just Teams - every other application was fine.

A lot of security companies with have multiple holes in a system. Having more backdoors isn't a bad thing.
Leonard's law: Software will be as bad as it's users can tolerate.
They list the feature status here https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status It's not that raid has problems. Just one of the modes (raid5) is clearly documented as "unstable, don't use that".
Stuff you learn in "web2" translates to web3, but the opposite is not true: the tolerance for risk and failure in the crypto space is just so much higher than anywhere else, that engineers who learn in that environment never really have a chance to develop the baseline technical skill expected by any other part of industry.

It's really a tragedy that the pump-and-dump web3 space is siphoning off so many entry-level programmers. When the music stops, it's going to be a lot of work for those people to transition elsewhere.
Not really, unless you're being overly reductive. For example, I think I would call a 10% backed stablecoin less stable than a 100% backed stablecoin, but more stable than a 1% backed stablecoin (or 0% in the case of something like UST, at least initially).
I did think this too. I would hope that I am small enough fish that I'm not worth them wasting that backdoor on, as I assume it will be patched once revealed.

At what point do I have to stop being paranoid so that I can get anything done?
yeah I have. his panel show appearances really wear on me. It's just Moss but more depressingly realistic and belligerent. Without the humour he's just irritating.

I guess that's not a unique issue with panel show regulars - you could argue that say David Mitchell is still just Mark Corrigan - but he manages to be more likeable than his famous onscreen persona, not less.
Especially for Docker, which is typically a daemon that runs in a different execution context as the CI job, which means you cannot just tell the CI job to cache some directory. Podman makes this easier but isn’t used as widely as Docker is.
The idea that the world is going to come together to defend Taiwan to protect the semiconductor supply chain is completely impractical.

Unstoppable hypersonic missiles could destroy the semiconductor production infrastructure in minutes.
I remember this being discussed somewhere on HN or Metafilter before. There was this bit where someone was explaining how surveillance efforts are extremely bureaucratized and disjointed across countless departments and entities. So, depending on the objective, it can be much more difficult to get something from someone else in a different government organization through official channels than it would be to just spend money on buying the info through the private sector.

And this makes sense when you think about it. Like yeah, the NSA has everything locked away somewhere but the limitations on giving access to that are probably very serious. When you’re a smaller guy in some other government or corporate organization and you’re on a fishing expedition for some lower level routine investigation, you’re probably not going to be asking your boss or higher ups for the most expensive solution to your problem.

And yeah - the stock photo is just lazy.
USDC can be perfectly fine and 100% backed, but if the only places it can be redeemed at are exchanges, when shit hits the walls all withdrawls will be turned off (cash balances included). What makes you think USDC would be redeemable?
You forgot that MS also bought GroupMe and it somehow still exists.
no, you see, update are important for security, so it is always legal for any company to install, via a backdoor, anything else they want to for any reason, provided it is also possible for them to also fix bugs that they have introduced through the same mechanism.
Adam Neely the YouTuber has produced several videos about recent legal cases where musicians sue because of some superficial similarities. In most cases the higher courts in the US recognize that copying is part of the normal creative process and is not infringement unless it is a blatant rip-off.
Some parts are different.
One thing that put me off was that the boss wasn't an insane lunatic that did random things.
The boss is the US version was a more collected, planning and evil character.

Like the scene where he called back after firing an entire department to say "I was just keeping the IT-department in line", suggesting that he knew what they where up to all along.

The UK boss wouldn't do that.
He would keep doing things that only made sense to his insane brain, until something went down hill enough that he just jumped out of a window in the middle of a meeting.
> Simple `Authorization` header should be enough.

Cool so now you can’t fetch non-public S3 objects in the browser unless you’re fetching over Ajax? What’s in the Authorization header - an API key? There’s a reason services serious about security don’t do it like that anymore.
> You can generate documentation using comments (i.e. jsdoc),

So comments are a solution to something. Don't TypeScript programmers use them as well?
They were almost exclusively user errors (HTTP 4xx). They are supposed to indicate that the API is being used incorrectly.

Although, it seems the author couldn't find out why they occurred, which points to poor error messages and/or lacking documentation.

It is a well-known forever issue with XFCE-
https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/issues/176

Even though it has been 7 years since the initial report and the issue is still very much active, the assigned dev says it's a low priority to him. If you know how some FOSS project still work, there's very little hope for a change anytime soon.
I don’t know which universe you live in, but things like Microsoft Communicator/Lync and “worked very well” do not belong to the same sentence in mine.
Even though I was convinced and changed the site to make dark mode free already, I'll say, it's not free. Maintaining a dark mode is a huge pain for me. I don't ever use dark mode, so it feels even more unpleasant. I obsess over the typography and colors, having to do it all twice is more work. That's one of the reasons I initially made it a paid feature.
Everybody I know has used Zoom at this point, and has thus seen what dead-simple and "just works" telecom software can be (not to mention FaceTime, which seems to revel in "your never-owned-a-computer grandparent is happy to use this").
From what I’ve heard, the issue was that the tools they used to make the b2 were as bespoke as the actual plane and super unreliable… so basically there was no cost saving making more since you basically had to remake the tools…

Crypto has a lot of retail suckers and speculators to pump and dump on, unlike private markets.
With my pixel 5 running android 12/13, the similar mode is called 'extreme battery saver' - it felt like that's available for all android phones? I disabled most apps in extreme battery saver mode except for the podcast and map app. Then kept the phone running in extreme battery saver mode 24/7. only enabling email app temporarily during lunch hours. - running like that, a full charge usually lasts more than 2 days and the phone is super quiet and fast.

Has anyone tried this product and how it compares with Mux.com?
> These differences are so extreme they made me double check the process. Are the "states" of completion different between the two clouds? Is an AWS "Ready" premature compared to GCP? It anecdotally appears not; I was able to ssh into an instance right after AWS became ready, and it took as long as GCP indicated before I was able to login to one of theirs.

This is a good point and should be part of the test: after launching, SSH into the machine and run a trivial task to confirm that the hardware works.
It's subjective - I found the UK office to be more funny and authentic. I couldn't watch the US version without cringing at the unnatural sitcom-iness of it.
