> One thing that I found out in my exit interview at Capital One is that the mistake I made while posting this was to call something a "counter offer" from Capital One. It was noted that this wasn't a counter offer, it was a "your salary is being updated anyway for competitiveness", but I'd misinterpreted the exact wording, as it sounded like a counter at the time.

Sounds like a counter offer to me. I'd be very surprised if this "update for competitiveness" would have happened had it not been for a different offer.
With voice, I am focused on what I am saying until I make my point. If it then turns out I was not listened to, that sucks and screw that person. With video, while making my point I see the person staring at the screen, eyes wandering, and I guess it's 50/50 chance they are browsing the web. They may not, but visual input makes me wonder and ruins my focus. Times that the number of participants, if everyone has video on.

And yeah, when on a call I almost always walk, helps concentration/blood flow.
Resumability is still a kind of hydration, I suppose, but it's so much more efficient that it makes sense to separate it from hydration and just say it's "no hydration" same as some frameworks advertise "0kb js" when what they mean is just a kind of progressive enhancement that still includes js.

There is no vdom on Qwik, it is kind of a requirement for fast hydration / resumability to not have a vdom – otherwise there is only so much optimisation you can do when you need to convert all your server-rendered markup into a vdom representation.
That's impressive, but being an optional install and not even available on most distros doesn't really make it a useful target for applications that just want to show some window decorations. I also doubt that Debian have ported GTK 2 to Wayland or added client side decorations to GTK 2 so its even less useful in the context of this discussion.
The bit about the counter offer is interesting.

It was noted that this wasn't a counter offer, it was a "your salary is being updated anyway for competitiveness", but I'd misinterpreted the exact wording, as it sounded like a counter at the time.

For this to be true the author's salary would need to have increased regardless of whether they left. That would mean, if they chose to go, they'd earn a bit more during their notice period[1]. If the author's salary didn't increase during their notice period, or if the role didn't have the subsequent higher salary when it was advertised to find a replacement, then it was an offer designed to counter the author leaving, and I think it's very dubious to call that anything other than a counter-offer.

[1] In the UK we to have 1, 3 or 6 month notice periods depending on seniority. None of this "2 weeks and I'm gone!" efficiency like the USA. Very high level (eg c-suite) roles sometimes have even more.

Don't have to go that far. Choosing to not have children or choosing to have fewer children would be a good start.

From what I understand, taking better care of the children we have so they have a better chance to reach healthy adulthood is the best way to suppress child birth rates. I say we because parents don't own their children. The children belong to all of us, the community.
In addition to the amazing news of article itself, not less amazing for me is the fact of "active" discussion here on HN.

The stunning amount of comments (2 comments in addition to mine) is good indicator on HN auditory, on how HN visitors value Linux news beyond Docker containers [no one cares]. Not even comparing to any "Yet Another JS Leftpad" related news.

Definitely valuable observation for me.
Thanks, that's a good point — and I had originally intended exactly that. Any suggestion for how the … should be completed?
If I'm understanding what you're getting at, I believe all the main dating sites already share user profiles between themselves to flesh out their "stock" of potential paying customers.

So using a specialty site like Kayak Dating, or some such, owned by this dating site group would still get you some non kayaker profiles.

I discovered this because I like round women and I'd have profiles on a few specialty sites, and I'd still get thin women profiles occasionally because other qualifiers I'd listed were close to theirs.
I believe the visceral pushback is happening because this is a perfect example of a technology and platform that should not be. And most people instinctively sense that.

We need more humanity, care for ourselves and others, more love and connection to humans and everything surrounding us, to experience what it means to be alive and being a part of the universe. This tech aims to isolate us even more than we already are, through its fundamental design. When you put human values above the maniacal quest of a boy billionaire for relevance and power, you come to the conclusion that this is the entirely wrong path.

The hardware is inconsequential.

> Their popularity, and relative stability of the kernel extensions these applications used, is proof that Apple's black and white approach of "all non-Apple kernel extensions are bad" is rubbish.

Thats not what they are saying though. They are saying, when we have official userspace API, we will remove access to the old kernelspace API.

Thats not to say the kext is bad or evil. It is to say you won't be able to accomplish it in a kext using public api anymore.

Were there badly written kexts before? Were there kexts with interactions? Were there kernel API and whole subsystems kept in for years because some popular enterprise product refused to update?

Absolutely. I'll refrain from mentioning the one I had in mind which hit all three checkboxes.

This is so cringe, to have this conversation constantly continue to crop up on Rust safety discussions when it's built on such an obviously falsifiable premise.

What C project is safe, exactly? You imply that the default almost is churning out safe C, so what projects with "competent" coders is producing vulnerability-less C code bases? I'll not be holding my breath because everytime, there's never an answer. My favorite person who spouts this off has multiple projects that have segfaulted from C memory programming related bugs.

Maybe, like, validate the basics of Rust functionality instead of constantly just casting doubt and aspersions on something while offering really weak defenses of what you justhl happen to be conditioned to.

The word "dystopia" (according to Google Trends at least) had a large spike worldwide in November 2016 and has been consistently trending higher than pre-November 2016 ever since. Trump (or probably just general events around then) did something to the Anglosphere net that definitely made it more negative and cynical.

EDIT: same pattern with "dystopian"

I used to like the Windows Phone UX too, I had it on a few phones over a period of time back in the day.

But, all of the phones I had used to crash pretty regularly, rock solid it was not! Still, I miss it!
No it's not, that's the point - a private company has a single goal: making money. It isn't in the interest of a company that gets revenue proportional to tickets issued to, for example, ensure that parking restriction signs are visible, etc.

A city obviously has _some_ incentive to get more money from tickets (in the US see things like ticket revenue requirements, "civil forfeiture"/theft, distributing the received assets to the orgs issuing the tickets, stealing property, etc). But the city also has actual non-revenue reasons as well - for example I have received multiple parking tickets around my house over the last few years because there are parking restrictions to allow street cleaning, etc (the problem isn't the signage, it's the forgetting about the restrictions, and them being "2nd and 4th Tuesday" on one side of the street and "1st and 3rd Tuesday" on the other).

Similarly traffic tickets say are intended to make roads safer by discouraging speeding, etc (although they functionally just mean speeding is allowed if you are rich).

Using speeding tickets as an example, it is in the interests of an organization that receives revenue from tickets that people do speed. On the other side various governments have a real interest in not having crashes, etc as that has impact on the economy, it impacts voters, etc. But even this depends on the people enforcing traffic laws not being corrupt - and gov agencies getting any funding from tickets creates an obvious moral hazard. In California at least you get the CHP getting significant funding from ticket/fine revenue, and as a result of this the CHP does not maintain visibility while speed checking, but instead hides. The former results in people not speeding, the latter means that they get to issue tickets.

An illogical extreme of this would be to set the speed limit for a freeway below the design speed for said freeway - this is a particularly subtle one: most research shows that people will tend towards driving at the designed speed of a roadway, so you can create an environment where the default behavior is "breaking the law" giving you a limitless source of income. Honestly, it's why things like speeding tickets, etc should be required to have all fines sent to a separate account (say victim support or something) where the relevant agencies can't use the income directly or indirectly.

This is why the incredibly hated traffic cameras are infinitely superior to manual speed checking - fixed cameras in locations where speeding is dangerous are, well, fixed. This means that even if people do speed, they learn to avoid speeding in places it's particularly dangerous, if only to avoid guaranteed tickets.
This is going off topic but what an interesting idea... Can plants work day and night if you give them light 24x7? I assume they don't need to rest or get tired?
Those CPU cores are pretty lame compared to the Apple M1.

It does however have more than a 128 bit wide memory interface, which is very rare. I can only think of the M1 pro (256 bit), m1 max (512 bit), and m1 ultra (1024 bit) that have wider interfaces and targeted at the normal desktop/laptop market.

What you're doing is just FUD bordering on some kind of weird concern trolling.

Gonna blow your mind when I tell you every single coreutil on my system is built with Rust and moreover nearly every program on my system was BUILT with that Rust-built coreutils.

Amazingly emulating some existing program behavior in Rust is easier than writing safe C! Who would've guessed? (besides eeveyone else watching and betting on Rust for the past 8 years)
I'm in a similar situation (European, getting paid US rates, living in SEA) and for me it's been freelance all the way. I'm earning enough that I save way more than I would back home, I have an amazing quality of life, and I don't have to work non-stop. When a freelance project ends, I work on my own stuff for a while, or travel. I've been working on a project for about a year now and it'll end soon. During that time I've easily saved up enough to live for... maybe 5 years here if I went super basic. But at least 3 with my normal lifestyle. Not counting holidays back home which would cut into my savings a lot.

I'm not planning to take 5 years off, I'm gonna take a few months to work on my own projects, then a vacation for a month or two since I haven't been home since before covid. Hopefully one of my own projects will start to earn me some money and I'll work on growing that, but if it doesn't I'll probably start looking for more freelance work at around the 6 month mark.

It's not all roses, there's visa issues, tax compliance is essentially impossible (although I do have a visa that allows me to work) and I do sometimes struggle with the culture here, as much as I love other parts of it (so not much different to home there I guess).

But, on the other hand, as someone who grew up poor, this level of financial security is almost impossible to believe. I can just... Take 6 months off work. Or a year even. And not have to worry about money. I feel free in a way that I never have before. I know this is privilege and I acknowledge that and try to ensure I don't abuse it.

The phone is absolutely better. Better battery, nicer looking screen, more solid feel, faster processor, better game performance, better software integration (if you don’t care about customization).

The only real downside to someone that isn’t a power user is price, and even power users can tweak iOS enough for nearly any use case. An example is that you can currently sideload a virtual machine app from altstore that can literally run Linux with full USBC (or lightning to USB) pass through.
> He was skilled enough to invent a credible fake in the style of a 17th-century mural.

What if he didn't want to, though? What if the joke was to do something ridiculous and make people take it seriously? In short, what if he was trolling?

If he was, you have to give a certain respect to a man who spends his whole career building credibility to burn on a single high-effort, high impact prank, never losing his straight face even with his son who somehow has to go along with it. Not necessarily an admirable man, but an impressive man.

Or maybe it was just a mental health episode oddly confined to a particular time, place, and role in the man's life with no known side effects. That could happen, I guess.

It is nothing like ASP.NET web forms... the server is not keeping any state here between requests, it simply renders the page and serialises the state, event handlers and such in a way that the client can pick them up and resume execution.

When the client either lazy loads (on interaction) or prefetches these serialised event handlers, there is no server work at all, it's simply static js files.

Hmm. I have a web server in the corner of my home office. It's still doable. Stick an Atom board or a hobby ARM board in a case with a fan, add some storage, done.

Said server is mostly private use for me and a few other people. If I had need for a public one I'd probably rent something for $5/month first.

Oh wait. I am renting something for $5/month. It runs backup DNS and MX.

I thought so too, but then I got a cheap return iphone and was blown away.

I now help all my friends buy cheap iphones for about $150/phone. They are either openbox or refurbished by apple, still under apple warranty. Currently iphone 11 64gb is that sweet spot.

Cpu is still faster than most modern androids. Nvme ssd doesn't wear out as cheap emmc on androids. Phone receives way better software tuning than any android because apple iterates slower.

And best part: phone can be serviced on the cheap in almost any mall in the world. Everyone got spare screens, batteries,cases sell in dollar store.

I get Latest ios releases. I was using pixels before and when they broke, esp during travel, it was a very uneconomical proposition.

> I'm baffled by the reaction here. I agree that productive VR work is still not ready for prime time, but most of you haven't tried any of this (let alone the new hardware) and you're already dismissing even the possibility of it becoming good in the future.

This is Hacker News' reaction to almost every new thing that isn't already several years past the early adopter end of the curve (crypto, VR, a lot of bio). The community has become a bit stiff and conservative, for a tech community.

What age is that? I am in my early twenties and work-life balance is one of the most influential things on my day-to-day mental state. A couple of days in a row of working overtime or having to commute to the office and my mood and productivity both nosedive noticably.
I well understand the frustration of being in the minority among an internet community, but you can't post flamewar comments like this to HN, and you did it repeatedly and egregiously in this thread.

I don't like to ban people for expressing contrarian points of view, but your conduct in this thread was way past unacceptable in its own right. Please don't do this again, and please avoid religious arguments generally—they just lead to hellish flamewars and are always off topic.
