Thank you. Admitting your perspective on this topic is based in personal politics is ultimately a good thing, and makes for more better reading for other users.
> people making the decisions to buy it

Most people just buy a laptop and expect to get Windows on it because that's what they know, unless they know they want macOS and go with a MacBook. Otherwise, if you want a Linux machine, you'd have to hope the manufacturer gives you the option of shipping without Windows, or end up buying it and then formatting. As long as that's the default, Windows won't die, and I would think Microsoft will like to do anything to keep it the default.

When I buy a computer, I want Windows to be opt-in, not opt-out. Ideally, computers should come with a network installer like Raspberry Pi started doing [0], giving you the option at first boot to choose what operating system you want.

> I recently learned that GitHub has a discussions page which is separate from the issues pages.

The people who are good won't be using that.

When I was a student working on my thesis I realised I was too advanced to ask questions on stackoverflow and I would not be receiving useful help there. My issues were too uncommon and specific, because the simple ones that stackoverflow is good at solving were not blocking me.

I guess something similar happens there, with the extra thing that very few people know and use discussion pages.
Probably because it was an unsubstantive and possibly snarky comment on a divisive ideological topic. That's flamebait and therefore against the site guidelines.

Yep. Ran a service with a hundred thousand active dailies - it was fun, but never again.

Someone has done something awesome and good, why not start from that perspective of supporting and recognising someone else's talent.

From my understanding of your undertone of your message you are telling them they don't know what they're talking about when I don't think that's true.

There's no need to put people down.
Congrats guys! Really great product and execution
The EU's browser ballot was a solution to the wrong problem. The problem wasn't that IE had a monopoly within Windows; it was that Windows had a monopoly on computer OSes.

(And Microsoft actively reinforced it by saying that if you sell other OSes on a “PC” they won't let you sell Windows.)

Would you please not take HN threads further into flamewar and not cross into personal attack? You've done it more than once in this thread, it's completely gratuitous, and we've had to warn you about this (indeed, ban you for this, if I recall correctly) many times before.

If you'd please make your substantive points without any of that, we would be grateful.

Tax raises obviously increase the deadweight loss associated with that tax because at some point the cost exceeds the marginal utility of the product and people buy less until things are in balance again. But when there isn't enough product to go buy and the government pays off debt, then the deadweight loss may actually be reduced over the long term.

I think "master power button" probably more clearly means some sort of master control switch for in-seat passenger accessory power, since it's described as shutting off all in-flight entertainment AND seat power.

No the brazing sounds dangerous. How does it not ignite?? Brazing is done with high heat open flame. Unless it's just for back purging? But that sounds even more dangerous - intentionally building up a propane resivoir behind the braze.
> Farmers lost £30,000 in income between 2018 and 2022 as a result of 92 crop circles of varying sizes. The wheat and barley lost over the period could have made 300,000 loaves of bread, and the flattened rapeseed could have produced 600 litres of canola oil.

Wow. 30k in 4 years. However will "England's farmers" recover?

Since they know so firmly what's not making crop circles, they might work a bit harder on finding out who to bill for their losses.

This story isn't even "fake news" its rank propaganda rehashed as entertainment.

Yeah how on Earth could that even be a political question.
Ignore the other answers to you - they're referring to refined products, not crude. Straight from the strategic reserve FAQ, crude oil doesn't really degrade if stored properly: https://www.energy.gov/ceser/spr-faqs#Q14

Note that if it's not stored properly, it can degrade due to water intrusion and oxidation, and it can just evaporate.
If we're arguing semantics, I feel like these early cards are more fitting to the "3D accelerator" name than the modern ones. They were specialized for accelerating 3D graphics (which, in the end, means pushing triangles into a 2D framebuffer). Modern GPUs are more like general-purpose vector processors that happen to also be good at calculations related to 3D graphics and can (sometimes) render triangles to a framebuffer.

You can use the Wayback Machine at archive.org to look at how it looked like in the past. For example, https://web.archive.org/web/202201/https://www.spr.doe.gov/d...

Note that it is mostly Sour oil that is being moved off the SPR. Because that is the more useful type. So you might consider that 200-250mbbl of Sweet oil in the SPR is less-useful and counting the whole 400+mbbls is like counting apples and oranges together and saying you have X amount of fruit.

Were you expecting a news article? I'm not the 7yo in the classroom, these are just things I've heard from other parents while I've been spending time in FL. People are earnestly scared about what their kids are being taught in school and I think it's pretty cruel to abuse them instead of taking their concerns seriously.

Any of the examples I used are pretty obviously anecdotal, I'm surprised that wasn't clear to you. Not everything which has ever happened in this world has a Wikipedia article or video to link back to, some things just happen and then people tell others in their community, they don't necessarily run to write a blog post.

If you aren't living in FL right now I'm not sure how nuanced your perspective is going to be on the topic, but your opinions are always welcome, of course.
You should keep in mind that a good chunk of programmers absolutely want to invest further into safety but are never ever allowed to do so by management.

At one point you learn to shrug it off and make notes to maybe revisit the code one day and fix the dangling bits. Alas, that time almost never comes because people get demotivated and leave the companies. Which is very normal.
Helix really is amazing, even with it's current level of maturity (or should I say immaturity) I just can't stop using it, I can't wait to see how well it works in a year or two.
> just the way they're installed

> they get restarted with the next reboot

And if after the next reboot your services or OS dies - it's only on you. But not if this is Windows OS - then it's Microsoft, all Redmond citizens and Gates personally is the culprit.

You can restart 99% of services in Windows just fine, it's just most of the software written by bazillion of 'software developers' always find a way to break if something suddenly disappears from the system. And no, they do NOT write a proper dependencies for their services, hell, they still install in 'C:\SOFTWARENAME' because they still can't in the long file names [including spaces] AND they are still shitting in their install folder (Hello, 'C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.5 (x64)\data\ibdata1'!).

Add shitty drivers for a bazillions devices, written by other shitty developers - and now it is way, way, WAY easier to just reboot the machine.

And don't forget: your shitty webcam managed to crash the system while it updated? It's Gates fault, not the author of webcam's driver.

EDIT: Oh great, Baader Meinhof as it is, while I moved my workstation VM:

You know what is forcefully killed explorer.exe first (hey, it's my shell! I have opened some windows there and there!) and then rebooted the whole machine WITHOUT asking anything from me?

Please don't throw things out that work, only throw the things out that are actually broken. For the vast majority of people in Germany public healthcare works fine and it isn't really subsidized, just mandatory to for employees to pay in. Government managed healthcare only has one goal in Germany, prevent long term diseases and cure diseases rather prolonged treatment of symptoms as the latter is money thrown out the window.
Ask HN: Strategies to land remote US job while living in living in EU?
Hello, I am experienced software developer working on enterprise software in eastern Europe country. With rising inflation and stagnant local salaries it's getting harder to afford a decent standard of living. I am looking at these jaw dropping US salaries, even 60k/yr would put me among top 3% earners in my county. Browsing US job boards I find many remote contract based and salaried positions but they are all looking for US based employees. Are there any fellow Europe based software engineers who work remotely for US companies and could share advice about landing such jobs?
That site was incredibly helpful to me when I first moved to berlin. Cheers.
Solid protip. Been doing the same since Windows 98.
I basically use LXC for light-weight VMs (a name server here, a simple web server there, pi-hole on my home router). Where I care about security separation (my containers are privileged) I use real VMs via KVM.

Though I'm an old fashioned pets-not-cattle type. Docker and friends have the disadvantage of being invented (or becoming practical/popular) in/after my mid 30s!

Are you expecting a news article? This is a story a mom at the dog park told me last week. How you feel about it is entirely your own choice and makes 0 difference to me, but asking for a source on what a teacher said in a 7yo's classroom is pretty funny I think. It's like asking for a source of your coworker making an inappropriate joke or a dog peeing on your lawn - do you operate under the framework that only things with internet sources actually happened?

If someone at the dog park told you a story, is your response to ask for a source and dismiss her when she tells you that one very obviously doesn't exist? Seems like a funny way to interact with people.

If you ask why there was .hg and .hgignore in a Git repository, it's because I completely forgot this project is my first ever project using Mercurial as SCM. As such, I foolishly `git init` the repository and have to update both .gitignore and .hgignore to finish the changes. You can also see the Mercurial version of this thing at here:

That only works if the programmers buy the managers' narrative -- and that's not a given. Usually it's the opposite.

Managers very often only optimize for them to look better in front of their superiors, to the detriment of the underlying team's efficiency, and very often to the detriment of the product itself.

People pulling the blanket towards them is not a new thing.
Lath & plaster does not form a vapour barrier; deliberately not in most cases (there was perhaps some crossover when more moderm building techniques were still using lath and plaster) - old houses need to 'breathe' as they say, moisture needs to be allowed to move between inside and out. They can be warm & dry, but the way to achieve it is (paradoxically) porous materials.
Thank you! I have looong time looked for so good explanation.

So the right answer is that large cracks are not too numerous, and fortunately you will not find such artifact under your bed.

Even more - if I understand right, they are fragile, and cannot survive in places with high gravitational wave activity, like galaxies.

So we should search them in old voids, where they only trouble each other, and nothing else intervene.

This is acceptable start point for research, but with huge drawback: this assume very expensive research, because only largest telescopes (or latest gravity wave detectors) have good chances to detect anything.
No defiantly not an intention to render anything obsolete. I think React will be around for a while.

Instead if you like stricter types, `.map`, and `.push` JSX and want to reduce the runtime abstraction by moving it to compile time then it offers a possible alternative to React. Haven't gone into too much yet but there is a probably a lot of React applications that are too complicated for the optimiser to work :( and there it won't be an alternative.

Lots of great alternatives to React these days as well which I also want to promote!
Multi-GPU isn’t just about single-application performance.

Multi-GPU is necessary if you need more display output ports: with limited exceptions every GPU I’ve seen is 3xDP+1xHDMI or worse. While a single DP can drive multiple monitors it limits your max-res/refresh-rate/color-depth - so in-practice if you want to drive multiple 5K/6K/8K monitors or game at 120Hz+ you’ll need two or more cards, with-or-without SLI/etc.
He could have said something about what his business did. He went out of his way to not share anything and be vague.
Let me tell you the problem with capitalism, there is nothing about capitalism that forces people to invest their money, as people get richer they keep a bigger portion of their net worth liquid, 10% is the rule of thumb and the liquid assets are used for speculation rather than long term investment. As interest rates approach zero, the yield curve starts getting compressed, to maintain a healthy yield curve, the yield on extremely short term assets like 1 month treasury bonds and liquid demand deposits in a bank account actually needs to be slightly negative, about -3% so that people have a "profit maximization motive" to buy long term assets at 10 years with 0% or 20 years with 1% instead of speculating with their money.

Tax reform might be great but simplifying tax codes is much better than just lowering them.

Ask HN: Alternative to Chrome Page Translation
I use the chrome 'translate this page' feature quite a lot every day to get by in a country that doesn't speak my native language. I realize it's about the only thing keeping me using chrome, and I'm also not happy with how much PI I am shipping off tho the translation API. I'm not sure compiling chromium with my own developer key is any better. Are there any alternatives to this feature? I have tried the safari page translation, but it refreshes pages when you switch which makes it unusable.
also automatic OCR and translation of the web pages that are have all their text in images would be a dream.
as a person whohas exclusively used firefox all my life, even on my android, i have both firefox and focus, this is quite good news.

the only problem i can imagine is the invisible pressure by the unending desire to become chrome,you know with hiding the search bar by default "because people are used to that from chrome" and other shenanigans, i feel this support might be shortlived because the stupid people managing firefox are paid by google to fuck up firefox in the worst possible way and this just feels another attempt in that regard.

btw, i've been online since 2004, daily so i have used a lot of firefox

For https://apibakery.com (API code generator for Django and Node):

Frameworks/platforms: Django/DRF, Node, VueJS. DB: PostgreSQL, running on DigitalOcean (vps), server provisioning and deployments using Ansible.

For https://musicbox.com.hr (music streaming service for bars, restaurants, shops, etc):

Django/DRF with PostgreSQL for the API, VueJS for the frontend apps, Go for the streaming service, Redis, Go on RaspberryPi for specialized hw players. Hosting on Hetzner and DigitalOcean (vps + managed dbs), using Tailscale to have everything in a single VPN. Deployment with Ansible.

I find Ansible to be a hidden gem here. Nowadays its mostly overlooked for fancy k8s setups, but especially for small number of servers (a few), there's a lot less moving parts to worry about (and they're all explicit in the single yaml file).
But this is “Mushrooms eating plastic”!?
As an example for the simplicity.

I have a small search engine for chemical properties[0] running with a boring go stack, with just a stupid SQLite database (but a custom in memory index for some particular "chemical" search part). It has been humming around for the past 10 years without downtime.

The stack is incredibly simple and monolithic. A complete redeploy is made by a simple push on master, simple CI/CD with Woodpecker[1] building Docker images and triggering a refresh of the system with docker compose.

Every single step can be down manually if a given step or component is failing, but in the "everyday" scenario, everything is automated.

So, keep it as simple as possible with minimal "interconnections" with other services. If possible do not depend on any external services.

I ran into a couple issues using ANTLR 4. The first is that it mostly required my build pipeline to have a JVM, which wasn't super convenient. The second is that the generated Python parsers are super slow, like too slow for even just iterating while developing.

I almost wish ANTLR 5 wouldn't be about any new parsing stuff, but just a refocusing of the project on implementing its compiler-generator in the popular languages. It basically is that already, but it's pretty clearly not first class.
You need windows pro, but you basically set a bunch of registry keys/GPO to disable updates.
Given that an md5 hash is 128 bit, by simple brute force, you would need to try 2^128 variants (in expectation) to find the matching hash. Thats rougly 10^38 combinations. That's a huge number, I can't imagine that the author simply hashed variants until one happened to match, there must habe been some other technique involved.

There is zero evidence for the AGI claim or even a weaker intelligence claim. GPT 3 is just a search engine on steroids.

Thank you for the second link. Really good view to which parts of the now annoyingly popular decrying of German energy choices maybe actually were subpar, which were the right ones, and which even unlocked the cheap renewables for everyone worldwide.
Can you provide a reference to the processes you are referring to? I'm only familiar with EAL and FIPS which require theories that there is maintenance where they apply in the lower part of the stack. They are applied to open source like OpenSSL and SeLinux, probably with better quality than a lot of niche closed source government procures.
