Is sales culture usually this bad?
The "standard" way (the "safe" one) is to "clone" the hard disk (please read as make a dd-like or "forensic sound" image) then wipe the disk, install a basic OS, give it to repair, and then re-image the hard disk back.

BUT this will take anyway a few hours time (imaging a disk takes time) of which some will need to be "attended".

The fastest would be as someone else suggested, to remove phisically the disk and store it safely, but you need a replacement disk (HDD or SDD) to put in the machine, otherwise the repair service won't probably be able to fully test the machine after the repair, and of course there are many laptops where you need to open the laptop to remove and replace the hard disk, so the time would be more or less the same as replacing the battery yourself.

Depending on how you have organized your data, you may be able to more simply backup, delete (securely if needed), and then restore just the data, but if the scope is "security" it is far from foolproof, and it will take anyway some time.

I believe that this (and the issues in transferring data when/if you change laptop/PC) is one of the unresolved problems of modern computing, there is so many data (scattered almost everywhere on the disk) that the only way to be sure that nothing is lost is to image the disk and - on the other hand - there is no (that I know of) way to make sure that you backed up and deleted all the data short of wiping the disk.

A good practice is to have all application data on a separate volume/partition, different from the one to which the OS is installed, but this only covers the actual documents as almost any setting will be on the OS volume anyway.

Funny how I can look at these zoomed out decks from 20 years ago and know exactly what every card does. The sets featured here are burned into my brain.

Lots of great MtG memories from the sets featured in this blog post. I had many similar decks back in the day.
This appears to be a sound analysis to me.

TL;DR if you a priori believe that there is cheating in chess--as can be measured by correlation to top move engine play--then Hans has a high probability of being one of the cheaters. (if you believe that there is not cheating, then this analysis confirms that)
Just FYI,
if you use those suggestion for a German company that requires a Lebenslauf, good luck getting picked.
These rules are general enough, but they are VERY American.

Boasting about your results (e.g. about how you saved your previous company A LOT of money singlehandedly) will not fly very well in a German setting, even if it's an international company.
Some has already be done, in 2012 I think a team from harvard found biological markers which were identicals in patients suffering from autism/bipolar disorder/schyzophrenia and adhd and since adhd is a group of symptoms which can be caused by every "real" disorded listed above we found the biological something you mention.

I own both a diesel (2021) BMW SUV and an electric BMW. The diesel has an average of 6.0l/100km since factory. It's slightly higher on highway (~6.5l) and slightly lower on national roads (5.0-5.5l). It's a typical 4 cylinder, 190hp with a 48V micro-hybrid system. I can imagine a 3 series or a non-SUV would have even lower averages.

The electric BMW i4 is averaging around 16.5-17kWh/100km.
I’ve always been sad that while MTGO does throwback draft formats, it never seems to offer old block constructed or Standard environments. Seems like it would be possible and if the prizes were right probably quite popular.

Also I will die repeatedly on this hill, but I hate that ‘Sligh’ came to be the name for any mono-red burn deck with a semblance of a manacurve, as opposed to the original anti-Necro weenie-control deck. I learned more about fundamental Magic theory from that deck than any other: yes the manacurve, but also the importance of board position, resource denial, different forms of card advantage like Orcish Artillery etc. It was such an elegant approach to the metagame at the time and so much subtler than just dealing 20 as fast as possible.

My career trajectory after undergrad:

4 months: Project manager at a bank. Management development program that I left to join a startup in Berlin.

5 months, internship: promising startup in Berlin that I joined as intern. Founder passed away so the company almost went down under and they couldn't support me with visa.

1 year: Well-known German startup, notable turnkey projects. Left to home country due to family issues (closer to ageing relatives)

2 years 8 months: Rising Asian unicorn, notable turnkey projects, some good impact here. Left after a while to switch industry

3 months: Remote role at a US-based startup. Loved the time here and was actually able to scale a program. Laid-off along with half of the company due to investor pulling funds.

Yes, you can make sure the car doesn't communicate with the VW servers - either through the option in the menus, or if you don't trust that just pull out the SIM card below the dash.

I'm so confused why you say that a brand new EV is competing with a decade old petrol car(because only those will be 10x cheaper)? Like.....when I was car shopping it hasn't even crossed my mind to look at cars that old. I want a warranty and I want a very basic EV car - a decade old petrol car fulfils neither requirement.
I'm not a an of Nikola for all the obvious reasons, but I find it surprising that the first flaw with their trucks is from a supplier with a history of creating trucks, and not from a fault of their own development.

It's covered in Russian Patent No. 2,526,478 "Method and Device of Microwave Electromagnetic Impact at Trespasser"

"The technical result is achieved by the fact that it is proposed to use directional radiation modulated by amplitude of the microwave electromagnetic waves. The impact on the intruder is due to the occurrence of painful mechanical thermoelastic phenomena in individual elements of the human auditory apparatus at their resonant frequencies"

Thanks for starting this topic. I'll chime in - not as someone who codes - but as someone who has tried, on many ocasions.

As some comments mention - one of the biggest AHA moments to have is - learning programming must occur in parallel with a goal. Anecdote time - i'm an obsessive music collector, and not long ago discovered mp3tag's regex functions. Mind...blown - i read the tables describing the regex actions many times - it all felt like gibberish - kept trying....and BAM! it clicked. I can almost guarantee learning anything like this without the strong motivation to avoid manual retagging - would not nearly work as well.

Contrast the above - with my current position - working my way - incredibly slowly through Harvard's CS50 - nested for loops make my brain spin out. But just recently - i kept looking for intro explanations...and found a flow chart. With a flow chart in hand, looking at the sample code in one of the code examples made so much more sense.

There is such a plethora of learning materials out there in regards to code - i feel that there is gradually more improvement in clarity of explanation for people like myself (who dont "just pick it up").

The area I feel needs the most work is small exercises which build on the exercise before it. Please no more cryptic puzzles (python challenge was actually super fun - but the concept behind just randomly googling - VS - applying something i've learnt...seems off?)

I would love something like "maths exercises" but for code. perhaps i've not looked hard enough?
:) IDK - I thought it was fun figuring that stuff out. The modern consoles still have their challenges and the mysteries are still there if you want to get very low level.

Arjun blundered against Magnus far more than usual last weekend. That's what stronger players tend to do to you.

I thought you were talking about the Candidate's tournament. As for the championship match, it's not generally believed that Spassky severely underperformed anyway. He won several games and put up good fights in the draws and losses.

>I believe you didn't read much about his championship match

I am quite familiar with the surrounding circumstances, including the pre-match negotiations. I do not see how any of this "mentally unbalanced" or "broke" Spassky, unlike (arguably) Larsen and Taimonov. Furthermore, he's generally been commended for his behavior as a consummate professional and a "gentleman" in the circumstances.

I wonder if you are as familiar with chess (the game, professional play, and its history) as you lead on to be, posting all over this thread.
For decades people paid 2 cents for a nail[1]. Why do nails cost 0.5 cents now? Because once you figure out a way to make them cheaper than 2 cents, you can make more profit by charging less -- you take market share away from producers who can't go under two cents.

This is a steady process that has been going on for centuries in all kinds of different products. If it doesn't happen with EVs, it will be because government intervened to stop it.

It's not a straw man. I have my doubts you know what you are talking about.

EVs for everyone doesn't work, and ICEVs even less so.

People who really need it for their life style will either have to change their life style and habits or pay enough for it.

And with respect to the economy: supply and demand will solve it

> I'm so confused why you say that a brand new EV is competing with a decade old petrol car

If people want to buy the cheapest vehicle, then they are limited to ICEV, because the cheapest EV is much more expensive.
> Why bother with the dependency hell of JavaScript and Node.js if you’re not forced to go the SPA route?

You don't need to be building an SPA in order to want to have some client-side javascript. And you may want to use some third-party libraries for your client-side javascript. Npm is a decent distribution channel / dependency manager for that purpose.
Ask HN: Why corporate culture never increment your salary?
I work for biggest and soughtafter corporate company in Canada. I have been at the company for 2 years. Since I joined, my manager and team feels productivity, code quality and delivery time of team has improved by 50%. I work extra hard and spend overtime to run this team. Over this time, demands of my manager has increased ten folds. I have received no complaints in my performance review meets. My performance review meets are only about what my manager wants next. No single mention of pay and salary improvement. My clients have put in recommendations to my manager highlighting my quality of work. Those recommendations never helped.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM.

For last 2 years, my compensation has remained the same. Not a 0.1% increase. Over last 2 years, this corporate has exceeded the expectation in quarterly results and gained billions in surplus.

I am deeply hurt and disappointed with way corporate works. I feel cheated.
> Why couldn't basic templating or includes have been built into HTML natively?

Because HTML started life as an SGML application/vocabulary, and with SGML having entities (and link process declarations/stylesheets) for exactly these purposes, there was no need to invent HTML ad-hoc mechanisms. SGML templating based on SGML LINK works in a push (event-driven) style, with fully type-checked and HTML-aware semantics, quite different from your typical pull style embedding of whole programming languages that spit out unescaped strings ([1]).

Of course, browsers never came around to implement even basic SGML features such as entities (except for character entity references), and by 1994 or so, JavaScript was already introduced, making any HTML evolution inessential by introducing a Turing-complete language into the mix.

I wonder if there is an experiment which could test this "rule"?
It is true that you have to put a bit of thought into how you source viatmins and proteinif you stop eating meat. But it's very doable. Interestingly women actually have a much higher requirement for iron (not surprising when you think about it). Anyway, this is why a great first step is to cut down on meat consumption, to 3-4 times per week. Cooking wholesome meals has nothing to do with vegetarianism as far as I can see.

Not really. Electricity tariffs can be pretty competitive if you shop around.

I own an EV and I have never charged at home, even though I have my own garage. My average electricity costs at home are around 0.30€/kWh. Meanwhile, 30% of my charges have been cost-free and the rest I'm paying between 0.12€/kWh and 0.39/kWh.

The investment required to install a wallbox is not really worth it at the moment. It would just add convenience.
I have saas ideas that I’m actively building, one is a high cost low volume product, and another is the opposite.

How can I effectively sell these products, I know nothing about sales, feel like any sales people would try and take a substantial clip of any ongoing business, and don’t expect that having an ongoing full time sales rep would have long term value.

My options are to learn sales myself or hire someone, but I don’t really know what to do in either route.

I’m interested in either approach, or both, my budget would be low 6 figures out outlay if required.
Still hilarious to me seeing Ironclaw Orcs in there, when a 2/2 for 1R had to have a drawback, compared to the absolutely absurd power level of even red 1-drops now. I understand the rationale over the years of re-centering the game on creatures and so pushing their power level, but it does result in a lot of very dull Standard metagames (e.g. right now).
Yeah. I mean, if you're going to use AWS database service for this use case, something that automatically scales based on load makes more sense, like Aurora Serverless. But that's also expensive. Regardless of cost, plain RDS isn't the right solution here as all.

Nice theory, assumes that prices stay below your threshold long enough for the car to charge. It can happen, as your examples show, but can it happen at scale, i.e. when 1 in 10 people are running "full house equivalent" energy requests every time the price drops below say 0.02 EUR/kWh?

Been pricing electicity derivatives at work last week; with that context I'm now thinking of your scheme as a limit order, and what happens when the market is oversaturated with limit order?

What a perceptive priest! Makes me kind of wish we Episcopalians had a routine around one-on-one confession - we have a rite of confession ("Reconciliation of a Penitent") in our prayer book, and any good priest would be happy to accommodate that request, but we don't have the physical (confession booths) or temporal ("Father So-and-So hears confessions every Saturday from 10-12") structures that put the idea into someone's head for "minor" sins.

However, at every worship service, we communally recite a confession of sins, and the phrase "and left undone" usually jiggles a couple things loose that, indeed, I have failed to do, to the usually slight but compounding detriment of my family or my colleagues - in other words, small (but compounding) sins of omission.

Unfortunately, I'd feel rather impolite pulling out a notepad or my phone to jot that down, and I've usually forgotten what it was by the time church lets out... (edited to add) but I could discreetly jot it down on the service leaflet.

And now I've looked up "acedia," and would love to know the title or author of that book your priest had you read.
Sorry but I don't want to install Microsoft's text editor to deploy an app.

It's a basic next.js app, nothing special.

I tried the app service config on GitHub actions and it was ridiculous to say the least. 15 minutes to copy the files over and then it didn't launch the app correctly even after I specified how to launch it. Pitfalls at every step.

It's like the UI was designed by a child.

You're saying a lot of "just", and to be honest those tasks aren't simple things that I can just do. For example having a docker registry that I now have to secure and babysit is not what I'm here for.

I'm not sure why you're trying to argue that Azure is good.
I charge my EV with free solar energy 90% of the time. Can't dig my own gas out of the ground for an ICE. Hopefully that kind of setup will become cheaper and more accessible to many.

EVs aside, every bare roof is a missed opportunity for solar anyway. It should be mandatory for every overground parking lot to be covered in solar panels, same for every newly built residential and office building. If this sort of policy was in place, there would be a lot more locally generated electricity for heating and charging EVs that doesn't need to be transported over long distances.

Sorry for asking, but am I right that this project has no relation whatsoever with the well-established Cairo library, which has been around for almost 20 years?

If so, it would be a pretty terrible choice of name for a project with a focus on something that's visual (an alternative Windows desktop), given that cairolib is a graphics lib. I, for one, have been rather confused.
These customization efforts will likely continue to break and frustrate devs into giving up in future updates because proprietary OS vendors like Microsoft and Apple are simply not motivated to allow people to get in the way of their regular overhauls of their preferred brand experience.

If you want wide customization of an OS, an open source OS is likely a more maintainable choice.
In a way we used to have this and lost it relatively lately. We used to be able to hear/feel the hard drive noise/vibration and make informed decisions on what to do based on it.
"Makes no sense at all."

Same here. It's very strange. It seems to me people can get used to anything—and that they have done so.

The atrocious speaker/sound systems in today's laptops are so bad that if retrofitted to ancient monophonic AM radios of the 1930s and '40s then those radios wouldn't have sold.

The fact that so many are prepared to accept such atrocious audio means there's no longer any choice for anyone like me who'd pay more for good audio—simply no manufacturer makes a laptop with good audio these days.

BTW, I did play piano a litte once so I've a bit of an understanding of what they're supposed to sound like.
Creatine is also found in seafood and plant-based sources as well. I don't know the exact concentrations though. Iron is really the big one when it comes to a meatless diet. You can't easily get enough iron from other sources without a supplement.
Have you spoken with them regarding salary? You should not expect a big corporation to treat you fairly. They will pay you less if they can. If you feel you deserve a raise you may need to initiate that conversation. You should show evidence that you have benefited the company and ideally have a back up plan to search for another job if they say no
