I think you’re right that lumping anyone that eats meat at all into one big group hides the diversity there. It’s completely reasonable to eat a healthy diet with meat in it (lean chicken, fish, occasional beef, good sources of fiber and healthier fats, etc). It’s also possible to have a vegetarian diet that’s unhealthy. When I switched to being vegetarian my diet was very carb and cheese heavy at first.

I don’t think people considering leaning vegetarian/vegan should worry about getting enough protein. Protein deficiency is rare and just including eggs and dairy in your diet is really enough to not worry about it. If you’re bodybuilding, sure, you need to supplement, but that’s true for a meat diet as well. Many millions people lead healthy lives without meat protein and without keeping track of anything. I think people curious should try a meat-free day or two a week and see how they feel. I was skeptical (growing up where every meal had a serving of meat) but it’s really not an issue.

Full vegans need to make sure they’re getting the full range of protein types but it’s pretty easy if you have a diverse diet of grains, legumes, nuts, and other protein-rich foods. Basically don’t go in thinking vegan == “I only eat lettuce”! There’s lots of great, filling, protein-rich vegan food out there. Even a few vegan/veggie meals a week is a good thing.

100% agree impossible burgers are not good for you. Like real burgers they’re fine in moderation. My personal love for an impossible burger is that it satisfies a craving without causing harm to an animal. It doesn’t even need to be as good, just good enough to keep me from getting beef.

Shouldn't matter as long as you do direct IO for benchmarking
I'll be honest, aside from the FnLock LED issue, most of the issues I've mentioned were probably fixed by 2020. I got this laptop in january 2019, and none of the stable distros (ubuntus and such) would even boot without kernel parameters back then. 5.1 became the golden kernel version for me for a while, where everything worked as later kernels would break suspend/hibernate a few times before stabilizing properly. It was a rocky few years but by kernel 5.10 (december 2020) everything worked fine, probably earlier like you've mentioned.

Graphics always worked fine except for random full system lock-ups/kernel panics in amdgpu which have been fixed at some point I don't remember when. I have no idea what caused them but a kernel option (something with iommu) made them go away until it was properly fixed, and I think that wasn't exclusive to this laptop. Graphics are still scrambled when waking from sleep though, but they take a split second to restore. The rest of the problems (bluetooth, fingerprint), still persist.
What about one way barriers?
I have never needed this. If I make a mistake, use the C button, just like old-style pocket calculators.

PCalc has a backspace button, along with a bunch of other buttons making it more complicated than the iPhone calculator. It makes sense that Apple kept it simple with just a C/AC button.

I always enjoy the crapshoot of installing linux on random (recycled) laptops. I've been doing this for decades and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how far we've come. Glitches abound, but so do solutions, and the general robustness is awesome.

So thank you, kernel and other devs, your work is hugely appreciated, even in moments of raging frustration (I just blame the short-sighted CxO's who delegate responsibilty to overworked product managers that are often just over-promoted engineers).

Yay GNU/Linux! Freedom for everyone with a bit of patience and a wilful curiousity :)
If you need to electrically isolate an audio signal path, decent audio transformers aren't that expensive these days. A Triad Magnetics TY-250P is less than €6 at Mouser in single quantity, and is for sure a lot more linear than most optocouplers.

That seems like good advice for professionals, but I'm wondering if it's going to hold up with new ways of distribution.

Would distributing a generative model that can sometimes generate such music would also be considered illegal? Will it actually stop people from doing it in practice?

Would it be illegal to share seeds and prompts?

Though these alternative methods, you could have a lot of people listening to music that's never distributed as audio or video files. And if there's an API for it, games could use such generated music via a plugin.

And then I suppose people start sharing on YouTube, and we see how good their copyright violation detection actually is.
The reducing customer friction arms race means if you can create a process that gives them the keys earlier or more “easily” you win, so if that process has an edge case where one in few hundred thousand gets arrested that might be seen as a net win, not how id design it but others have different tradeoffs!

There exist many entries on the ArchWiki. The ArchWiki is (IMO) one of the best sources for linux in general not only archlinux. E.g. this entry for Lenovo[0] has a huge list with Lenovo Laptops and what works/doesn't work. There are also some tweaks you can apply for specific Models.

Resistors are generally very linear. They're put in the same category as transformers, capacitors, and inductors, where we just ignore the non-linearities--they're usually too small to measure, although reverse-biased electrolytic capacitors are definitely nonlinear and I've heard you can be affected by nonlinearity on carbon-composition resistors if you put enough voltage across them--like, 100V--don't know if it's true, just "heard it somewhere".

Diodes are incredibly nonlinear, that's the whole point of having diodes.
I am willing to allow language to shift.

But I have literally (in its original meaning!) never heard anyone but gw99 describe “pictures of myself taken by a bystander” as a selfie.

I’ve taken a lot of posed photos of tourists with their own cameras, I don’t see why “the camera is now a phone” would make that phenomenon merge with the specific thing people do with the front facing camera.

“Me, posed at destination” seems like a wholly distinct phenomenon to me.
Small reactors might start to get economy of scale in manufacture, but operators would see the opposite result, either the same attention needed for much less power, or the same power but many times the work. Nukes' operation is a minority cost only by comparison to monstrous capital cost. It is way more than for, e.g., coal, fuel aside.

The manufacturer might instrument it heavily, and take up remote and semi-automated management of the whole fleet, but that also raises total cost vs. big reactors.

It is impossible for mature tech to keep up where the competition's cost falls at a relentlessly exponential pace. Reactors are, unavoidably, about massive steel and concrete, plumbing, valves, pumps, and steam turbines, none of those getting cheaper.
Maybe this could be solved if tipping was expected on the flights. Have some money collection when boarding or off-boarding.

Wood is a nice analogy because when it was first evolved there was nothing on earth that could break down the lignin. As a result, we had a couple thousand years where wood just piled up like a global waste crisis. Eventually fungi got really good at dealing with it

We're again seeing a waste crisis due to a novel material and once again fungi might end up saving us (though we don't have a thousand years to wait this time)
Perhaps if the house leaks air like a sieve and you just compensate by more heating watts (or if you use some fancy heat recovery ventilation), but in a properly closed shell, with considerable cold outside, your primary problem is getting rid of all the humidity human life produces without the water condensing on whatever surface is coldest. I suspect that we are talking about very different environments.

nope, alas; occasionally we hit bugs - https://matrix.org/blog/2021/09/10/pre-disclosure-upcoming-c... was the last major one. We’ve been doing independent audits on the next-gen implementations to help preemptively catch them (eg https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/16/independent-public-audit-...) rather than auditing the 1st gen sdks, which is why these snuck through. It’s worth noting that literally all security software occasionally finds security bugs, and fixes and patches them like this - the only difference is that as a decentralised network we have to make a loud noise and give warning to get everyone to upgrade.

Ask HN: Which is the most useful job board?
Are you looking for a job, which is the most useful job board and why? Which is the most valuable feature as a job seeker?

I asked on Twitter and Reddit and folks complains about fake remote or remote "but you need to live close to the office".

I am building a board of job boards, or a job boards agreaggator, there are 335 in the list so far, curated by hand and would be really helpful oppinnions nor advice from people looking for a job.

If interested the URL is https://jobboardsearch.com I named it Job Board Search.

Recently I've added a job offers listing feature that I pull from 25 different job boards, listing 600+ jobs, in order to view only the 25 mentioned board you need to select the filter [With job offers]

I am trying to make a ranking based on job seekers oppinions so, in your oppinion, which is the most useful job board?
You agreed to terms of service that gave the data to them. That would be a good canary case though, have a bank provide the same terms of service for their physical lock boxes, and see if that gets struck down, despite the TOS. If so, you have a case to annul the digital TOS as wel.

> Gah. I've seen the other side of this, a few people far too trigger happy to make FivePlusVeryLongNounVO/DTO for every little thing, and it gave me some new appreciation towards tuples and primitives. Sometimes you really don't want to go into another new file for an object type which is used in only one specific place.

The rules are an exercise for a toy project. Like all similar 'rules' they are just hints to make you think. When done with the exercise, and you see a string with a social security number in a production code, you may consider creating a dedicated SocialSecurityNumber class. The class will guarantee a well formed social security number according to official rules. The class may even offer Area, Group and Serial parts of the social as separate fields. The class may decide to use a string or integers internally, but that would never be exposed to the class consumers. All the code that uses SocialSecurityNumber will not have to guess whether string is valid, if it has dashes etc. The same reason you use built-in types like an Integer (as oppose to a tuple of 4 bytes or 32 bits).

The math isnt that simple. As they get bigger the structure needed for very heavy lifts also multiplies. The old airships only carried light/small objects like people and mail. Lifting large individual objects is a totally differnt game. Ok, the new beast has a 3000kg capacity, but the crane/truss necessary to suspend a 3000kg object will itself weigh perhaps 1000kg. You then need a ballast system, separate from the crane, that also can hold 3000kg (big water bags or equivalent) to hold the airship down when it isn't loaded. That also requires more structure and equipment. The cargo-carrying behemoth that can quietly lift giant refinery parts into place is not a simple equation.
This is such an American problem. I love visiting the US, but boy am I glad that I don't live there.

Everyone here in the comments is blaming Hertz, but really the problem is that the police are just arresting people willy-nilly without actually confirming the vehicle in question is really stolen. And even if they do stop to question someone, why are they pulling a gun on them, or even taking them back to the station before trying to de-escalate the situation?

This story just reeks of a series of serious societal failures.

Staff on minimum wage, dated systems and processes, overzealous police, insane court system (did you read the comments in that linked article? One poor man had to pay bail at 45k, lost his job, and a bunch of other fines!)

Maybe we should change the way we think about architecture. Japan has some of the longest lasting buildings in the world and it's because they're specifically built with modularity in mind. It's built with the knowledge that parts will rot and have to be replaced and built in a way where you can replace a part of it without the whole thing collapsing.

Maybe we should think of our buildings the same way and just admit that pipes are gonna break and nothing lasts forever. And plan for it rather than against it.

I think that's where the software industry has naturally evolved with SaaS and where a lot of other industries are slowly evolving towards. Maybe it's time for architecture to do the same
If you're concerned about costs and stability and you aren't spending enough to justify at least a 5-figure support contract (enterprise support contracts are around 10-30k + 1% of spend), I don't think the major cloud providers are for you. You will _never_ receive adequate support to run workloads that you consider mission critical at that level of spend.

Maybe something more like DO, OVH or Hetzner is appropriate.

If you think the basic cloud services are expensive, that's nothing compared to other SaaS providers, Heroku, CDNs or even specialty cloud services. Most of those will start at a 3x multiple of what you're paying now.

I run several million USD on GCP and it's fine. I have more on AWS, which is also fine.

GCP works for us because we have retail customers and customers in Europe who are extremely Amazon-averse. We run VMs, we use CloudSQL, we use GKE.

CloudSQL works great and the serverless networking connector isn't a big deal. Connecting to it from _anything_ works that way. Not just CloudRun. You have to use the VPC connector even from VMs. You can use cloudsqlproxy for direct access from your local machines.
their customers don't find this problem bad enough to stop doing business with them, (including your big company), so Hertz will continue doing what they have been doing.

adding any additional checklists , training, or quality control to their existing process would cost money, and so would reduce profits.

it is simple cost benefit analysis.
The second circuit is actually really boring once you recognize the parts. From left-to-right, it's:

1. A voltage to current converter

2. An optocoupler

3. A buffer

4. An amplifier

Stage #1 drives the optocoupler, since current is what gets turned into light inside the optocoupler.

The output is high-impedance, so you add a buffer, which is #3.

The output has a low-level, so you amplify it, which is #4.

If you work through a chapter of an EE book that explains op amps, and you're not afraid of algebra, you'll find this stuff becomes approachable very quickly. Designing circuits like this is a bit more challenging, but reading them is very approachable.

> a lot of developing countries have better smartphone penetration than computers,

They definitely do, such as in many African and Asian countries, although not for the reasons you state. Phones are simply cheaper in these countries than computers. They're getting devices for 200 dollars from Chinese manufacturers mainly, not the 1k iPhones that are popular in the West.

It might not be a good idea to have GCP run on GCP because you probably want the control layer having an isolated failure domain from your product.

Gonna go out on a limb as guess you're both right: the recovery rate's decent, but only because a pretty high percentage of stolen cars are simply abandoned (think: stealing cars for joy riding, which is pretty damn common in certain circles) and then found in that state, or used in some other crime or series of crimes and eventually swept up because the perpetrators get caught with the car while doing something else, not because the cops put much effort into actually finding the cars.

Considering the magnitude of property crimes I've seen them refuse to put any effort into whatsoever, I can't imagine they put special care into solving car thefts. Except when they can solve them basically by accident, which is literally the only way I've ever seen them solve a theft.

Taxing the middle class is a necessary condition of having a welfare state. The most remarkable difference between the American tax structure and those of European social democracies is that we have extremely low taxes on the middle and upper middle class. In the U.S. we have a lot of people complaining why we don't tax Peter Thiel to pay for universal healthcare, but that's not the reason we don't have universal healthcare.

In the face of an aging population and diminishing workforce, taxing the middle class may not be enough. But I am talking about an antecedent question.
