Okay, that's a nice rationalization, and it seems to mirror what the sibling comment said, but it's just a rationalization. You still don't have a right to pirate anything, and the moral argument falls down completely when there are plenty for-pay options available that have no ads whatsoever. With all the options available, it seems to me like selfishness to say that you get to do whatever you want, laws and rights of others be damned. Seems to me if you believe that this model of society is not useful, you should work to change things through legal channels rather than just doing whatever you want to fulfil your desires, regardless of others rights and desires. Would you agree that's also not a useful model for a society?

“I hate my Honda Accord”

“Have you ever considered walking?”

If the suggested alternative was stealing another Honda Accord, that would be a reasonable question.
Sure, and they should really revisit that decision considering how many people want it.

> Can you at least get from Control Center to the corresponding Settings page easily now (long press, hard press, etc)

You can, just long press the wifi icon in control center, it will expand to show all wifi points nearby. Then click on "settings" button, and it will take you to the actual wifi settings page in the settings app.

This isn't a recent change btw. Idk when they added it, but I remember using it since at least iOS 13 or 14, which was 2-3 years ago.
> AMD are proving with every release they have nothing for energy efficient machines

Every release AMD has done lately has two sides: side A is for the same compute as previously, you use less watts; side B is for the same watts, you get more compute; the third side is often oh yeah, you can pump a lot more watts (Zen4 almost doubled TDP on the high end parts, to compete with Intel's raised TDPs).

If you want an energy efficient AMD machine, you just have to limit the wattage. It may or may not get all the way to M1/M2 level of efficiency, but it's decent. Of course, lots of people are going to prefer performance, and it makes sense for AMD to allow that if system design can handle the power supply and cooling requirements. Apple gets to design their CPUs around an assumption that clock speed won't need to scale because cooling will not be sufficient for astronomical clocks, but Intel and AMD are in a competitive market where clock speed sells chips, so everything needs to scale. Arm's more relaxed memory model helps Apple as well.
One on my major takeaways from the calls was how many people were visibly sick yet still working and getting on calls. WFH has really destroyed the concept of stay home and get some rest.
UW receives 37% of its funding from the state, the rest comes from tuition[0]. In 2002, it was 70% from the state. And of tuition, at least ~25% of that comes from public sources (grants, subsides loans)[1].

And even if some public universities are self-sustaining now, that doesn't lessen the fact that public money was the major cause that started that flywheel.

And regardless of funding, UW, like all public universities, has an explicit directive to operate for the "benefit of present and future citizens of the State of Washington"[2][3].

As for course lecture quality, if it's worthwhile to the students, it can be worthwhile for the public.

Essentially, you are paying for the few channels that you actually want and the hundred of other channels are being provided for free. It's a win because you get free channels even if you don't watch them.

The thing is that there is essentially zero cost to providing channels to you that you are not watching. There are costs to sending the signals to your house but that doesn't increase based on how many channels you have access to. There also costs to producing content, but those costs are independent of the number of viewers. Add to that the fact these channels typically have advertising which is a good chunk of revenue, they aren't paid for by your cable service fees.

The result is that the costs involved don't correspond simply a cost per user per available channel. Consequently, it doesn't make sense to charge users that way.
Ask HN: How to prepare your retirement as a Software Engineer?
To each their own, but you'll pry vim from my cold, dead hands :)
> In practice, it shouldn’t really matter if you have one or the other for the resulting city.

Oh but it absolutely does. If you live next to a park and your teenage kid want to put an ice cream shop in your garage to operate on summer afternoons, zoning laws prevent it. Anti nuisance laws would not. If you want to run a single-seat hair salon in your neighbourhood, so that the old folks who can't drive could still get their hair cut locally, zoning laws prohibit it.

Obviously if you want to open a commercial shipping and receiving warehouse in your garage, both regimes would prevent it.
Yes this was done when the only method to distribute movies was through a limited number of theaters. Now there is no monopoly on distributing media.

Also, video and audio recording and editing equipment was expensive. Now many people carry around a device capable of recording 4K video in their pocket and can get video and audio editing equipment free that producers could only dream of when those cases were adjudicated.

With the plethora of streaming services, there is no “monopoly”.

Do you also think we should apply rules to automobiles that were relevant to horses?
You can relisten to music. You don’t want to normally rewatch video. I believe this would make the markets significantly different.
Indeed. It seems like most proposals delegate this role to the government, since they already have your basic ID anyway. The question is, how can the website operators interact with the government in such a way that the websites don't learn which government ID you have, and the government doesn't learn which websites you're visiting?

Surprisingly (to me at least), certain cryptographic tricks can do a pretty big chunk of that, by having the website/government and user/government interactions occur ahead of time. But as far as I can see, there's still the issue with these tricks that 18+ people could share their access with under-18 people, which the government would want to prevent.
Lab explores how AI can be used to create a Digital Police Officer
I bumped into an old friend recently and he and his wife work at a real estate company. They were raving about this new system they are a couple of years into the development of and how it's built on this great "Kubernetes" system.. they asked what I develop my products with and I almost felt embarrassed to say PHP and a couple of servers in two locations for redundancy that run Archlinux with a LAMP (LNMP? I guess with NGINX/MariaDB these days) stack .. same thing I've used for 20 years now (I was one of the first AL volunteers). When I asked what language their system is developed in they said Kubernetes, of course.

Anyway, it kind of reminds me of the days when everyone was developing a PHP Framework .. I've never used one and if I was to apply for a PHP job I'd be unlikely to succeed as I'm very specialised in getting shit done.

Are there any guidelines on how hard you can actually hit the Hacker News API?

( It looks like your backend is hitting it every five seconds; is that per user? )

also am I just too cynical these days or is this kind of just an ad for their notification infra SAAS?

His homepage has a `link rel="alternate"` meta and that's all that matters.

Original link should be preserved, but I disagree with you on the moral of appending '&rss_ref=heyhomepage.com' to the links. It is still tracking. Besides, server-side feed aggregators have a valid reason to cache the feed and canonicalize the item url to avoid dupes.
isps stopped providing it years ago and it's way too obscure to be mainstream. torrents are lower barrier to entry so they get the heat though nzb indexers sometimes get killed.

>I’ve hit a point where it just doesn’t seem like the end justifies the means in the vast majority of cases anymore

I agree, but the only path forward is to change the specifications for HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

As an industry we need to accept that these technologies get used to build web pages as well as software and adjust. This will remove a ton of the tooling. I think there are 3 basic things we could do to solve this:

1. Add dynamic interpolation to the HTML spec. This stops every framework from having to invent it's own version of it.
2. Update the DOM api to allow data binding/state and improve the Web APIs around routing/history to make SPAs even easier.
3. Update the HTML spec to allow for semantically describing user interface elements of software applications.

But it's going to be a hard sell. I am slowly writing a blog post about this, but I'm not sure I will be able to get anybody to listen. I feel like now, when we're in a browser monoculture where the browser vendor is actually competent is the perfect time to push this stuff through.

BTW: You can put your email in at daniel.do to get emailed when I release my post.

I would say that that statement of Reinberger is a "sensualized" one.
(Also saying "the Greeks think/thought Y" is like saying "the whole U.S. over 200 years was thinking Y" times 30+.)

To add to your comment: Anyone who didn't speak Greek was by definition a barbarian because that is what it meant. That is one was βαρβαρίζει (~varvarizi) (verb), as that is what other neighbouring languages sounded (and sound) in our ears: a constant βαρ βαρ (var var) sound.

The Romans added Latin to the non-sounding var var /barbarian languages, when they came in contact with us. Mostly out of prestige/common trade/allying. So the term was later enforced to mean anyone that doesn't speak Greek or Latin is a barbarian/"barbarizes."

And by the time of Pax Romana to mean inferior, as it did not have the knowledge and resources to learn the lingua franca of the times. In Hellenistic times, prior, the lingua franca was Greek, but I am not sure at the moment of the average Joe's perception on the matter. Generally a lot of trading cities where open to new ideas so I doubt that it was seen as inferiority more like a peculiarity or annoyance -- if you were trying to trade.

There is the notorious "to an unknown God" inscription/offering Athenians had [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_God -- if you excuse my laziness with wikipedia]. That is not the behaviour of someone obsessed with themselves.
Few remarks: (i) it has a server component (written in node) which unless setup locally one hosted by a third-party (Engagespot) is accessed, (ii) server component utilizes an API provided by the same third-party to function, (iii) integrates itself to the HN site rather being a toolbar button.
> where Athens boasted a 100 different kinds of craftsmen, where surplus wages were higher than any time until after the 1890s

Wow, I find that incredibly hard to believe. Better wages for tradesmen than ever existed in Rome, Mughal empire, imperial China, 19th century Britain? I'm curious how he got that figure.
Standing armies are freakishly expensive. So either you raise and train it for some purpose. Have it as mostly second occupation. Have some specialist paid by area.

Or just hire some group offering services, allowing your own people to focus on farming or whatever profitable.

The ratio of farmers(including their families) to everyone else is immense through most of history. And most of time soldiers don't produce anything.
It looks interesting, but I already use Lightspeed (by the same author). Still not sure how this is an upgrade over that, even after reading the docs. Is there a more compelling argument for switching?

PREEMPT_RT. They don't have to, but they want to.

Just saying "you get no console because you wanted to try it out" is
simply not acceptable.
As someone who works in full stack development, what complexities are you talking about exactly? I just spin up a NextJS app with an express server if I need a backend as well. In a way, it's been easier than before where you'd have to set up Webpack and friends. I just write React code and it automatically shows up on the page.

You can do more complex stuff, sure, but it's not necessarily required. So it depends on what you're doing, which if you can answer I can help give an answer to.
I think the majority of the functionality in leap can be had in IntelliJ IDE's with the AceJump plugin
I’ve bounced around between frontend and backend and devops, plus some iOS and one Android project. I’ve hopped in and out of various languages/frameworks. For the past year or so I’ve been using elixir which is my first big functional language job, as an example.

I would not worry about job opportunities. Here’s why:

General problem-solving abilities (eg. breaking down work into smaller chunks of work until you have something actionable) translate well to all kinds of software.

Skills like being able to communicate well with other engineers, product folks, etc is also similar.

Also, tech moves fast. Even if I were to have stuck with only frontend work, that landscape has changed so much in 14 years it’s not like the way I built things in 2008 is the same as 2022. Which is to say that regardless of staying in one area or moving around, I’ve always had to keep learning new things. I think other areas are like this too, eg Apple coming out with new ways of doing things every few years; Android SDKs having major changes over time.

Maybe I’m just feeling preachy at the moment but follow what excites you :)

I haven't got very far into it yet, but there's a number of plugins which can nudge neovim towards IDE functionality.

The language server protocol understands the syntax of your language. There are also plugins for autocompletion, and a file tree for fast navigation.

Just to ask: Is deciding precisely the way your IP is made available a right the creator should have? Should that right be transferable at all?

Intel is demonstrating the capabilities of their fab services including the ip blocks they have available. This scifive core is no different in that respect from the pci controller or ddr5 memory controller in that respect. Many companies want to build custom silicon for various reasons (although the current value proposition seems to be ML related). Those companies will need many pieces to get data in and out of their custom solution, and a Linux capable cpu core to handle networking or a small amount of traditional compute is often necessary. Intel building a risc V core should not be seen in light of their traditional cpu business, it’s not even in the same league in terms of performance. It’s just a technology demonstrator to prove to companies that intel can actually deliver designs that integrate intel designed ip and regular fabless semiconductor designs. The fact that risc V is guaranteed press is just icing on the cake.
I mean.. Unfortunately: Wouldn't this be expected from rushing a relatively new type of vaccine into production followed by intense external pressure from orthodox Sciencers to get it ?
I'm sorry but I won't install your extension. It's not you. It's that it's almost as if you're installing a kernel extension.

As a side note.. Why not post your actual company, engagespot? From what I can read is that Anandu is actually "making" this thing. Just seems very disingenuous in an attempt to do some sort of underdog or gorilla marketing.

Nevertheless, releasing something is always a good achievement, so congrats!
No one is claiming there is a monopoly. The vertical integration between content producers and distributors means that pricing is based off exclusivity rather than the fair market value of the service and goods being provided. We claim to live in a market-driven economy, so we should put rules in place that live up to those values.
At least the local rental store has (edit: had) the incentive to have things people want to watch, because they're pay per view. Streaming services seem to have a perverse incentive to be full of stuff you actually don't want to watch, because you pay per month and every time you watch something it's an expense to them.
Yes. IMHO, having an unread count is not annoying, but productive.
Yeah but qualify them by showing them the fucking software.

It's gotten so bad out there that I've gotten to the point where I just refuse to do qualifying calls. When I can smell one brewing I just email and say I'd like my first call to be one where I can see someone using the software via screen share, or be given the opportunity to log in or have a test account myself. I don't care if I'm talking to a high school intern feel free to screen your big swinging dick's sales guy's schedule but then get your intern show me the fucking thing, the features, the screens, what it does, the basics of how it works.

If I start a call and it's happening I just ask if they're able to show me the software. If they say no, we'll schedule a future call for that I say great press the button in that CRM that qualifies me for that call and I'll log off now.

If they don't want my business good for them, they can run things how they like, but my time is valuable too and I'm the customer so if you can't show me the product fuck off.
From my experience the more exotic frameworks are often pushed at smaller companies by developers hoping they'll be hard to replace whereas big companies use what s most popular to ensure they can find replacements easily.
I had a great experience with Hotwired Turbo and Stimulus.
I actually get better quality streamed sports games over VLC network streams than the NBA can offer me for money.

I did pay for a League Pass. I still watched the illegal stream instead. The streamer would even play music over ads and put gifs and images over the in-game ads during free throws and the like.
Looks like we are well positioned for the upcoming year. I was worried we're running out of disasters and cataclysms by the end of the year.
x86 traces it's DNA all the way back to the 8008 which led to the extended 8080 which led to the backward compatible 8085 then 8086 and the x86 architecture.

8008 was almost a full decade before the launch of the iAPX 432.

The roots of x86 were in one of the first major ISAs ever created (and something like the 2nd or 3rd microprocessor architecture) which is pretty remarkable when you think about it.
Recently tried this title with my kids on my MAME cabinet, and holy shit i completely forgot how hard they are compared to regular switch games, we been having a blast but it clearly has a toll on the kids and we had some frustation talks :)

PHP.

Use PHP, it’s so crazy easy for web development.

- No compiling,

- no middleware,

- no state (which also means no memory leaks),

- just drop a file on web server and it works (no crazy CI pipeline),

- the documentation is fantastic,

- it’s extremely fast, and

- no surprises because it’s tried and true.

PHP is so under appreciated.
I dont have any nostalgia for Thinkpads but I like the laptops. My first is a T490s I got from work as a work machine and it really is great.

Still the best keyboard in a laptop I have used.

Dial down the Windows power settings and the fan is totally off on idle/low load.

About 7-8h battery life doing heavy web browsing / Citrix VDI

Looking into it I would have liked a maxed T480 instead so I could max the RAM and SSD on it aftermarket actually...

When/if I need a personal laptop Ill get a Thinkpad for sure.
