Non-emergency intake procedures would be a great point in the workflow to get the authorization handshake out of the way.

In emergency situations, getting medical records isn’t even a guarantee, today.

If all a paramedic had to do was plug in a dead phone and wait 15 minutes to get access to medical records that would otherwise require potentially hours and fax machines, it might be a tic in the acceptability matrix, there.

Using the device to manage your data, with whatver access controls you are allowed, doesn’t necessitate that the data be solely stored on the device.

Using notifications and other operating system functions ought to cover a wide variety of workflow needs. The device would be able to take the place of any signature machines, on-premises, for example.

Finally, as it is today, you can configure iOS and watchOS to display emergency medical information even while locked. Let alone any future enhancements that could really make a dent in the overall healthcare software ecosystem.

edit: how environmentally sustainable it is to make 7+ billion iPhones, is a different topic though
It is a big problem. It's unrealistic to expect patients to have access to a DVD ROM drive, let alone the know-how to use any of the software mentioned
It does matter, as it could be used to figure out user growth. Tweets and users now use snowflake IDs which provide increasing but non-sequential IDs which also encode creation time.

this got me looking at 2.5gbe pfsense hardware and it looks like most of that is based on Intel I225V stuff (some is specifically b3 stepping), not sure if any of that ever got fixed for realsies?

you can get a pcie card with quad 2.5gbe with some realtek chipset in it, which I assume is basically what the pfsense hardware does...

getting a tremont- or tigerlake-based pfsense router would be super cool tho

This is my problem, not my messaging service's problem.

Is it strong enough to actually cause that, or is it the kind of thing nonathletes won't notice?

Or is the life extension effect too subtle to be relevant at all outside a flat mousecage?
> If you must pack your tablet, mobile or laptop in your checked luggage, be sure they are completely turned off (not in "hibernate" or "sleep" modes).

Mentioning hibernation is inaccurate. The whole point on hibernation is to save the OS RAM to disk/SSD so that the machine can be completely powered off and unplugged without losing work.
Getting Vim to run on a Macintosh Plus with System 6 is actually a project I’m currently working on. The old Mac Vim binary versions 5.7 and 6.2 will only run on System 7 and up, and in my testing require a computer with color capabilities.

Progress is slow. There’s a lot of surface area; Vim’s codebase, the Macintosh toolbox routines, getting the code to build with CodeWarrior in a VM, setting up all the right libraries, and then running/testing it in a different VM.

Current status is that Vim can startup and you can enter text and quasi save it to a file. Movement commands work. But there’s a LOT more to do.

Resources to get started for those who may be curious:

I imagine that if AI gets to the point of being able to provide humanity with a utopian society, it will also be capable of doing its own research, likely at a faster pace than that of modern civilization.
> In facing with resistance, we simply say, "I'm just asking!" trying to release some tension.

> We don't say, "I'm just questioning!"

> That's the nuance.

I quite like the substance of this article, but it is important to articulate that this sort of analysis is actually a mistake. If you read that level of intent and nuance into word choice, life is going to be very hard and confusing if you meet someone not in your culture bubble. The article reiterates the thought a few times and it is not a powerful idea.

The real issue that I believe the author wants to get at is actually the follow up to the answer. If the follow up is an attempt at persuasion with question marks on the end of sentences people will sometimes (often, really) get unhappy. If the follow up reveals that the question was a pit trap that leads to moral judgement then they will get unhappy. But there is very little tactical difference between the verbs "ask" and "question".

So I like the point, but it is over-analysing the words. A lot is revealed about intent after the question when we start to learn how it is being processed into words and actions by the questioner and that is where the focus should stay.
What would be a fair non-PoE unmanaged 10GbE switch?

So far I can only see TP-Link and Netgear options, both are expensive for Australia.

Is there anything in the pipe that will see these devices coming down in price?
I am not affiliated with them: I am considering getting one for an elder person (it also provides video surveillance which could be handy) so I'd like to see it "dissected" here on HN.
> TIOBE's data is so botched... (about D)

Stop deluding yourself. If we take out TIOBE, and use the IEEE's Top Programming Languages of 2022 (https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2022), D is still recognized (even higher than the 30s) while Zig, Nim, or Crystal do not even make their chart. That's the reality. The point is, it's hard to climb the charts, and not to underestimate the positions of established languages or that they will suddenly be abandoned.

> Vlang...

To begin with, you are a known troll (with possibly multiple troll accounts at HN) that has spent over an year engaging in slander, lies, and flames about the language almost any time it's mentioned.

Looks like you are the creator or involved with some other language that can't get as much support and popularity, and have taken to being underhanded. It would be advisable for you to stop being obsessed with Vlang. How many years of your life will you waste on such childish antics? You would be better off focusing on making your programming language better, if it's not already too late and its a failure.

As for pushing this bold face lie that the language is a "scam", that's both ludicrous and easily proven false. Vlang has many hundreds of code examples and projects. Easily found at:

1) Vlang examples on GitHub
(https://github.com/vlang/V/tree/master/examples).

2) Vlang at Rosetta Code
(https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Vlang).

3) Awesome Vlang at GitHub
(https://github.com/vlang/awesome-v).

The "scam" is you tricking yourself into thinking that your troll tactics are working. Instead, your continual and unnecessary slander is making what you are even more obvious.
A violin small enough to be played for me is shorter than h bar: no Silicon Valley engineer deserves anyones sympathy in a world where people are getting evicted from their homes via mortar fire. We all have it way too fucking good.

It’s more like 80-100 hours a week, which would put a strain on anybody: but I made my decisions and I’m living with them. I didn’t bring up the details in some lane bud for pity: I brought them up to establish my credentials on knowing my ass from my elbow on what happens at FB, which I do and most on HN don’t.
I watched the video and it's an incoherent, meaningless waste of time (sorry).

It's also hard to care about art when you know no human was trying to communicate something.

It's cheap, disposable, and purely derivative.

> How do you find each other?

I don't want to find people on Signal, or be found by them. I want a way to securely communicate with people I've decided I trust enough to be contactable by them - that is, people I've met and sufficiently liked face to face.
PoE is to power the devices at the other end of the cables, not to power the switch.
That's in addition to major recalls on all Lucids and GM Bolts. As much as we need to majorly reduce emissions and hit a 99% EV future, I think it's fair to say that consumers are Beta-testers for EV's that aren't Teslas right now. A hard pill to swallow when you know a Toyota RAV4 is going to hit 200k+ miles no problem.
True, part of what I ponder when the thought arises, is how the government would probably need to claim eminent domain over the whole thing, simultaneously build on the already great accessibility features, and then roll it out with a jobs programs in social services to accommodate everyone that needs accommodations.
Meh. Good for Intel. Frankly it's souring to me to see a fresh core with the same usual suspects providing the usual IP blocks though. Cores are easy. But all the un-core is ridiculously propeietary & ultra far from libre here, and in a lot of RISC-V.
Sorry you were on the receiving end of that and had to learn the hard way. We had the dean of the college (large public research university) I was working at the time receive a gift of a bunch of new MBPs as a token of goodwill from a foreign country, and heard in the very next sentence that they would be going straight into a shredder. At the time I thought these brand-new laptops could easily be wiped & repurposed; but now realize it was a potential attack surface that can easily leak info to APT/espionage groups the second it connects to a network.

Less than a year later a story made national headlines that a professor with direct access to classified material had mysteriously disappeared & never disclosed his close ties with their home country. So not only should you be worried about back doors and side doors; but also watch what's going through your front door as well!
> They often have to guess several times to remember their password.

I think pointless password rules are at the heart of this problem for many non-technical people who probably haven't been operating with a password storage solution and might not be used to that system or trust it.

Every platform has their own special requirements for passwords: some require a mix of capital and uppercase letters, some require numbers, some require a special symbol, some require a special symbol but no not that one, some restrict you from entering 3 of the same character in a row, some passwords have a short max character limit, some prevent certain characters like spaces, some require you to change it every so often, etc. Eventually, the password is forgotten or confused with another because of these pointless password rules.

I called them pointless password rules because they reduce the possible number of combinations required for an attacker to guess the password because any guessing program knows what can't possibly be valid combinations.
It means they have to make any locked-down devices they sell not-locked-down due to the anti-tivoization part of the GPLv3
Except this famed bicycle-based infrastructure is totally unusable for 8 months every year. Like every other Nordic city Helsinki spreads 100 tons of sand, which prevents some pedestrian accidents does not facilitate bicycling. The sand just lies there most of the year, being slippery on its own on dry asphalt.

Only Oulu does it right - they scrape the ice surfaces rough - they are bicycle-friendly, smooth and non-slippery.
Indeed, a government built open standard would be ideal, especially if the existing login.gov digital services team was involved in rolling out a hypothetical health.gov

Login.gov seems to be on the right track, architecturally speaking.
RCD is not a homelab acronym, its a type of circuit breaker.
That depends greatly on if the systems in question are expected to provide universal service or not. This is perhaps the crux of the question - do we expect Google to operate as a public service capable of delivering service in a way that meets the needs of 100% of the population? Or do we think it's acceptable for Google to decide that they're happy with 98%, modulo things like the ADA?

USPS serves every US address. Lone Star Overnight is allowed to mostly serve Texas without a requirement to also serve Maine.

Which category do we want Google to fall into? This kinda smells like we're expecting it to be a universally provisioned public service, but provided by a private entity with private funding.
I've seen a couple of dozen around my area too (near Seattle). More than I'd honestly expected at this stage. Looks great.
You can't have helped him more. You think you could have, but you might only have butted your head against an immovable wall.
They aren't. I use Signal as my default messaging application so I get messages from people who don't know what signal is, and I'm fine with that. If they later install signal, I do not need them to know that I was already using it.

To be honest, it doesn't really bother bother me, but just because I communicate with someone does not mean that I want to share any information beyond the contents of my communications. We might both be Signal users, but you're not my friend. If you were, I would already know it.
That's exactly the point here as well - well, without mocking the utilitarianism. It is natural that a corporation optimizes to its customers within the envelope of regulatory constraints.
This is just a switch but similiar 2.5gbe routers can run pfsense or opnsense with i225/i226 chips and intel/amd cpus. Servethehome covers quite a few of them.
I just looked into SSB and I really like the concept. It seems much more elegant than Mastodon. Why is Mastodon/the Fediverse so much more popular (or is it?)? What are the advantages of federation over total decentralization? I suppose one disadvantage of total decentralization is the need for ‘fat clients’, as another commenter pointed out.
> throw away everything that’s been written in Braille, or force the visually impaired to learn two alphabets.

Neither.

Check the picture linked in the very comment that you're replying to. Then you'll notice my proposal is to modify the current system, by either a) tweaking the shapes of the individual dots or b) replacing certain sequences of dots with lines. The underlying associations are still the same.

If it helps, think on it as a different typeface for Braille instead of a new alphabet. The actual con of the idea is printing, not reading.

Fakoo's idea on the other hand is, effectively, a new alphabet. It might be more advantageous than Braille, I don't know; however keep in mind that learning a new alphabet is by no means such a Herculean cognitive burden as you're pretending it to be, provided that you're already used to the relevant medium.

>Let’s say it’s 10% better. Would that be worth it?

Nobody needs to assume anything in this case. _If_ the idea is worth trying, this can be measured by testing it.
Th GGP was speaking in the first person. I personally have had hackers try to break into my account before, but have never lost my phone number. Furthermore, notwithstanding the policies of the "obamaphone" program, I would be able to recover my phone number if I lost my phone. So, speaking for the vast majority of people, it would be preferable to have losing my phone number lock me out of my account than having my password leaked lock me out of my account. If that is the dichotomy, and if we still care about the welfare of the average person, the correct choice is incredibly clear.
> you're going to be putting it pretty much near an outlet anyway so why did you think you needed PoE?

I think the idea is to use PoE to power devices plugged into the router. These may or may not be nearby (think a PoE camera).
This comment is splitting hairs that don’t even exist. I have never once heard the term “open software”. The closest match is Open Source. The OSI definition for open source is exactly the same as the FSF Free Software.

Another adjacent term is “Source Available” for software that isn’t open source but you can get the source, like Unreal engine.

There is also Open Core for software that has an open source part and a proprietary extension. Like GitLab.
> Sometimes the right thing to do is to sacrifice your dreams for others.

Good on you for putting your family first, and total respect for parents and parenthood, but man, reading lines like that reinforce my decision to stay free of those sorts of obligations.

I don't ever want to leave camp "do what you feel like doing".
Does anyone know why the "I" (pronounced 'eye') is an upside-down "T"?

I see that "Z" must take what would naturally be an "I" shape on a 3x3 grid, but why not use just a simple vertical line for "I"?
The hardware manufacturers are adapting. They're now using cryptography to maintain control over "our" machines. Now we can only run software they sign off on. What good is free software if we can't run any of it?

There's something even more important than free software and that is free computing. Free software takes free computers for granted. It assumes we're able to develop and run whatever software we want. This is increasingly no longer the case.
Yes, both γράφω (>graph) and English write seem to have "scratch, carve" as earliest senses.
I want POE because my cameras and access points are POE and buying POE injectors is annoying, and also I don’t want to be constrained to placement of cameras or APs by where I have available outlets.

I don't think Phoronix has time and budget for that. It is a single man, a few scripts and heavy automation. Sometimes he founds bugs and reports it, but there is no time to follow such rabbit hole!
It is more than a little snarky, but a certain amount of snark is kind of the toll you pay for having PhDs in everything from high-energy physics to behavioral economics on an Internet thread.

Basically no one who sticks around on here is “dumb”, I don’t know you but I have a Bayesian prior that you’re probably pretty fucking smart, and GP was being a bit of a smartass, C’est la vie.

I completely agree with your game plan of “let’s get a more substantial conversation going here”. It’s the right move.

I think that we probably should, as a society, do a serious audit of the public school system curriculum to see if it still makes sense in light of the insane rate of change in the facts of life over the last century :)
I feel like that's cheating; steel wool will burn if you so much as look at it funny.
I am left wondering after fourteen years in business how Uber let a bug that would let you not only jump continents, but do it in fifteen minutes, was still allowed to exist?

If the bug was somehow allowed to exist because it was so rare, then why didn't that large of a fare automatically force a notification of someone at Uber? Seems like that large an amount should have required human intervention before his debit card was charged.
RMS is probably the main reason the free software movement has got as far as it has.
Those are either cost effective (at scale) but not well packaged & unobtainable hyperscaler designs or ultra expensive data center gear.

Yes im sure.

There's now a ton of 54v power bricks at a variety of amps (a lot of 4a, 5a) for under $50. Adding poe is much more pedestrian now that these things are common consumer goods.
I have the Kingnovy 2.5gbe one (4 i226 ports and n6005 cpu), on baremetal (128gb nvme and 16gb ram) and not using vm yet but I think you could without problems (~<25% cpu usage during speedtests -- and hardware offloading is disabled by default on opnsense), it does ~2.3gbe download/upload on a 2.5gbe plan (maybe overhead?) and 10ms bufferbloat on download/upload which is pretty good and gets an 'A' rating on waveform buffer bloat test.

It is fanless heatsink design but has fan pin for an addable fan. Hot to touch, we'll see if there's any issues.
If someone asks to borrow my car to run to the grocery store and they drive 100 miles away to another state, it's theft.

If I consent to have someone use my compute for the operation of their website on my device and they decide to start recording tracking information, it's theft.

There is no dichotomy here, it's possible to consent to one use and not another.
Well, birth of Jesus. If you read the Bible you'll notice that the bishop who calculated Christ's birth was off by a number of years.
One might also consider the quality of the power supply itself, and how much of a fire risk it is.

Here is an (unrelated) PoE injector catching fire:

It's a different type of device, but my point here is about mains voltages.
Depends on what you are looking for. I've never had any problems with BH Photo Video for technology products. Everything else I mostly get directly from the manufacturer website.
I've been searching for the same thing and the cheapest is the QNAP QSW-2104-2T for $160 USD which seems to be the same as the Trendnet TEG-S762.
It has 2 10G multigig ports and 4 2.5G.
My eventual goal is to have NAS and desktop on 10G and rest on 2.5G.
Unfortunately my NAS setup can't really take advantage of the 5G+ speeds and 10G PCIE cards are not competitively priced so it will get a $17 2.5G PCIE card for now.
So much BS here. Having participated in this discussion a few times, I'm baffled by the "vinyl sounds better" argument (it doesn't), yet I have large collection of vinyl which I absolutely love. I think CD's sound terrific (they really do, especially vintage discs), but physical media has far more appeal than just "nostalgia". I also enjoy cassettes, minidisc, and reel to reel.

I really do enjoy the physical nature of the media. I love the mechanics of the various machines that are needed for playback (I've been collecting personal CD and minidisc players for the past couple years). The accompanying printed material is truly delightful. My reel to reel is quite finicky and yet threading the tape leads around the various post and across the magnetic heads is magical. Every time.

I think my biggest objection to digital streaming services is this: My music disappears unless I keep up with the monthly payment. These companies control what is available. Robert Mitchums's attempt at the native music of Trinidad in his album "Calypso is Like so..." is utterly compelling regardless of the cultural appropriation. This music brings me so much joy. The vintage CD's are out there by the bundle for pennies. What a treasure trove.

I just purchased Lorde's "Solar Power" album. Its not available on CD. I took the wave files and created my own CD complete with printed front and back liner notes and art work. My Epson allows printing on CD discs and the final package looks amazing (And I enjoyed designing it myself).

Don't get me started on the absolute joy of minidisc. Just about every vinyl album I treasure has been captured by this medium so I can listen on the road.

I also enjoy streaming music, but it should be noted that I spend a lot of time offline. My work often requires that I'm out in wild places frequently (I'm off to film California condors on Monday). I might be a dinosaur. But perhaps not, most of my fellow collectors are in their 20's in my region.

Reel to reel is the most expensive format per second. It sounds lovely, but cannot match the quality of a Cd or streaming. Yet somehow, a 40 pound reel to reel behemoth with analog VU meters, crunchy switches and smooth turning knobs is just a joy to operate.
Most networking equipment doesn’t have a UL or other NRTL listing. I don’t think any Ubiquiti product includes a UL mark. Even their power bricks and devices that take line voltage lack a listing.

Even if a product does have a listing it’s prob just for the power supply and not for the PoE circuitry.
