> I refuse to create an account on any of that company's sites

That makes sense. Would you be opposed to having filters for the company's sites given someone else willing to maintain it?
I'd assume it must be somewhere in the source, so perhaps someone has already decompiled it.

Yeah. You have to educate people. And no one wants to educate people. The ruling caste wants to steer people in certain directions, but not towards truth and efficient systems.
That section AIUI is about “grounding electrodes” that are intended for use as part of the required main ground. NEC 250.54 says you may install an auxiliary grounding electrode if you are so inclined without following all those rules. Other sections of the NEC explicitly allow burying things like rigid metallic conduit underground, which is a lot like a grounding rod attached to a branch circuit or feeder.
This is awesome! Do you know if any of these simulators emulate wear and tear on the table? I feel like the lack of variability in the table is why they've all felt like playing in the uncanny valley to me.
Good job!

It would be cool to be able to sort results descending by date.

> Brave being a cryptocurrency scam

Not grandparent poster, but I have been using Brave for a few years. I disabled/removed all the crypto bits it just works as a better Chrome-compatible browser. I would have liked to use Firefox, but some websites didn't work well with, and at the time I tried it was slower so stuck with Brave.

I'm laughing as you could not make it clearer if you tried. PEBKAC
If the US is so incompetent and unmotivated as to not be able to fix this in 13 years, we deserve to fail. This reads as a hit piece, not as a realistic telling of the EV story for vehicles with the largest US market share [1].

China has 65% of all fast DC charging stations in the world, and it did not take them 13 years to build them all [2]. Tesla spent $1B to build its own global fast DC charging network [3]. This is not hard. It is work, and it does cost resources, but it is not hard.

Tangentially, there is a Tesla Supercharger station halfway between Cheyenne and Casper in Wheatland, WY [4], strangely not mentioned. Rolling into that station on empty would require no more than a 20-40 minute charge to continue to Casper, assuming worst case charge curve of the smallest current production battery pack and a 150kw max charge rate of that station.

"Ideally, before getting stranded in an EV, one could pull off to a public charging station. Unfortunately, there are no Level 3 charging stations between Cheyenne and Casper."

(I have driven 100k miles cross country over the last 4 years in my Tesla)

[1] https://electrek.co/2022/08/15/tesla-tsla-dominates-us-elect... ("Tesla (TSLA) still dominates US electric car market with 68% market share")

[2] https://www.thebuzzevnews.com/china-public-ev-charging-stati... ("According to the latest data on Statista, China has a total of 1.15 million publicly available EV charging stations. Of China’s total figure, 677,000 stations are slow-charging ones, while 470,000 are fast-charging stations. Thus, 41% of stations in China have a fast-charging capability. If these numbers are correct (which, is always hard to say for sure when it comes to China), China has a disproportionately high number of stations compared to the rest of the world and a comparatively high share of fast-charging stations.

The United States finds itself in the second spot worldwide. According to the data, the U.S. has only 113,527 charging stations, of which only 21,752 are of fast-charging capability. Hence, a massive 81% of stations in the U.S. have only slow charging capability.")

This sounds like an amazing product! pricing is one the pains in the development cycle when things keep changing. I wish I had something like this in my previous company and will definitely check it out in my current one!

Really NICE!
pv -d $(pidof xz):1 is great for when you realize too late that something is slow enough that you want a progress indication, and definitely do not want to restart from scratch.
I am writing spooky short stories and submitting them to various publications. The publications technically pay, but they pay so little (far less than minimum wage) that it’s more about feeling valued than about the money.

Also, if I were offered a full time writing job with good pay, I would decline: writing is how I escape my work, and if it became my work, I would lose it as a fun and critical hobby
Yes. Except in most cases people aren't sent to $website unless they request it. That Mozilla does this is an opsec failure for anyone using it.
In my own life, I've found charisma flowed from confidence. And confidence flowed both from knowing what I knew, and not knowing what I don't know.

Now that I know a lot more of what I don't know, I'm kind of a schlub.
Here’s a direct quote:

Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary.

(I added the italics for emphasis.)
I know a lot of teachers who give much more to humanity than e.g., the CEO of Equifax. People in the marketing department at Phillip Morris undoubtedly make more money than people working for doctors without boarders. This is severely flawed logic, people get from the free market what a series of pricing mechanics based on numerous factors like supply & demand and underlying business segment margins produce. It has nothing to do with positive impacts on humanity.
This is the literal plot of the Emperor's New Clothes Fairytale.
> especially in contrast to predictions by economists that the opposite would happen.

Economists don't have sex, that's why they are economists.
This is a strange article that has an anti-EV tinge at the very least. As with other similar articles, it tosses a bunch of charging-related numbers around to confuse readers.

It doesn’t acknowledge the fact that planning will be required for road trips to ensure optimal charging times.

It also fails to acknowledge that some makes and models are simply better than others in terms of charger compatibility and battery range. A Better Route Planner estimates a Model 3 can complete the trip in 2 hours and 20 minutes with no charging, assuming you start at 100% charge.

I hate to blame the consumer, but Alan bought the wrong car.

Also, AAA definitely has charging trucks. That’s the only reason I’m a member.
For me, changing job helped. Also took less responsibility in the new job, that also helps.

Also LeetCode grind was mind-numbingly-demotivating but unfortunately that is part of the deal now. The good news is that once I decided that I am leaving my previous job, I felt great overall.
Does Brave support GPO/Admin templates to turn off all the crypto shit?

No way companies are mass-deploying this to users over Chrome or Firefox with ublock origin.
> improve housing policy so people can live closer to work

Or, improve labor policy so work becomes a much smaller part of most people's lives.

My last couple of employers did, in fact, provide nap rooms for employees to use and they saw fairly frequent use.
The thesis is that these “elites” were not the generic suits that the author expected, but

> Even so, these people of the Power Elite were visibly much smarter than average mortals. In conversation they spoke quickly, sensibly, and by and large intelligently. When talk turned to deep and difficult topics, they understood faster, made fewer mistakes, were readier to adopt others' suggestions.

> No, even worse than that, much worse than that: these CEOs and CTOs and hedge-fund traders, these folk of the mid-level power elite, seemed happier and more alive.

In my view, all this data is still consistent with being a generic suit, maybe under the “yuppie” subset

Appearing competent, engaged, happy, and intelligent is different from actually being. I’ve worked directly with executives (technical founders) who prides
themselves on being able to dive in and diagnose issues, acting like they’re the best engineer in the room but only hiring people because they’re too busy doing executive things to continue building the product by themselves.

And you know what? Those people will seem really intelligent until you come in one day, learn that they pushed a change to prod at 2 am, and it caused a ton of damage because they know nothing about engineering practices, and then half the team wastes a week trying to fix things without hurting the executives’ ego.
I cut to the fact that it's not smart to do this

If a company wants me to sign an NDA to interview, they're not worth working for

Pure and simple
Wow, this is the best feedback. A lot here that is helpful.

Search profiles. This is a good idea. But could add a lot of complexity and options to fiddle with. I'm trying to just code stuff that adds a tons of value with the least code, basically efficiency. Which Goggles/profiles would you want/need? Would help me to think about this. Trying to figure out the best way to improve this without a bunch of work/settings from the user. Maybe there is a way to solve this automatically by understanding the objective better somehow.

Wooo, love the search type examples, especially the medicine one. I'm not in medicine, so that is super helpful to know. I will be working on those ideas this week. I will prioritize added sources most people are asking for here.

What different microblogging website do you use? I will be adding a way to disable Instagram today. Been getting a lot of requests for that.

I'm just using Bing rss for news. It is the only good API that has images included for news. If you have any other suggestions for better news APIs, I'm all ears!

There is localization and some language support based on browser language/country settings. If you change that in the browser, Swurl uses that info. Never heard of FASS.se, I'll take a look. Do you have any example searches where you would really like to see FASS.se shown?

On filtering out duplicate results, I agree that is a bit redundant. But I'm thinking it should stay because on mobile you can only see 1 column at a time. It is a design quirk that could be improved... not sure what the best way is.

Brave search is really good. I wish they would open up their search results with an API, I'd switch to using them as a search source!
No, Mozilla's purpose is to appear to act independently while never doing anything that would upset Google too much. This incentive works even without Google ever even hinting at the funds being conditional on Mozilla being their bitch - someone who makes 3 million a year from a failing browser is not going to risk that setup.
The banking world is very much point-to-point, everyone knows everyone else, because money transfer is a licensed business in the United States. Any money transmitter has a responsibility to comply with AML/KYC requirements, so ZK banking isn't technically a thing. It's an oxymoron.

Now if you're talking about providing interfaces and integrations to the plethora of banks out there, a la what Plaid claimed to be doing, then you've got exactly the issue you're describing. You must have enough process and compliance chops to satisfy the various money transmitters you're integrating with that even giving you the credentials to handle people's financial information is not going to put them at excessive risk. With that comes the need to be profitable enough to pay people to implement said processes, which is generally why B2C financial services companies typically live off fees/monetizing data in some way, shape, or form.

Do not go looking at Plaid for answers, because what they were up to was a gross violation of professional ethics, and they have been the subject of class action suits over it.

It's unfortunate, but we've literally turned our financial system into a de facto arm of law enforcement. Anything that doesn't do so is by definition not a legitimate/compliant enterprise in the United States.

Now you might be able to supply a toolkit such that end users can build their own integrations if you're really good at making domething to do most of the heavy lifting for end users. Good luck on the marketing though.
>Remote workers aren't enough to outsource, outsourcing is not a new thing, it's been around for a very long time.

Outsourcing is not new, but the covid WFH was basically a manhattan project to sand down it's rough edges. The fact of the matter is that there are a lot of very smart people around the world who are willing to work for a fraction of first world wages, and are proficient enough in english that timezones are the last remaining barrier. Outsourcing won't leave us unemployed but I do believe that it will slowly drain the 'potential energy' of the current massive income inequality both within countries (bay area vs south) and without (usa vs elsewhere)
> - When it comes to the qualities mentioned - deep, quick, vibrant, etc. - I feel people overestimate how innate these qualities must be, versus learned or developed in an environment.

I'm sure it's far from the only way it happens, but I've noticed a type, and my suspicion is it's largely attributable to small-class discussion-heavy (possible because of the small class sizes) prep schools. I'm sure some of it's the quality of the material those schools are working with, if you will, but I think that kind of an education also tends to build exactly that kind of ability to seem commanding and sharp in social situations.
"Putting that aside, if one sees an exceptional 15-min presentation at a power elite gathering, is that just some kind of natural phenomenon? Did that person just pop out of the womb spouting clear, well-organized thoughts to the world? No - it's a skill developed through practice."

Another skill common among these types is salesmanship. The get paid to put on a good show and sell their product/company. You don't have to be smart to be effective at that, but you may have to be persuasive.

A lot of these people have speechwriters and ghostwriters too, so even what you hear or read from them are often not their own words or thoughts.
I was literally searching for something to do this earlier this week. I removed "I don't care about cookies" after it was purchased by Avast, and immediately my Internet experience became shit. Are "regular people" really filling out a modal form on every site they visit?

After seeing this this morning, I installed Brave. It imported my settings & extensions from Chrome. The whole process took about 3 minutes.
I cannot say with certainty that I had a burnout. I absolutely have had a lot of "this is all pointless, and life itself is pointless and repetative" times in the last few years.

There's an oft-used expression: do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life. (The meaning, for non-native English speakers, is that if you love what (the work) you're doing, then it won't feel like work and you'll be naturally motivated.)

I was in bad mental shape during my last gig. When the company decided not to renew any external contracts due to economic fears, my contract expired and I was without a job. I decided it was time to finally do something that I cared about, and do it my way. Maybe money would come from it, or maybe not. My runway is fairly short, but it's enough time to maybe build something.

It took at least two weeks of doing nothing computer related (other than reading HN, I'm sure) for me to start to see sunlight. And when I was tempted to look at jobs, it would only take reading one job req for me to feel sick. So I decided to make my own reality and stick to my belief that if I build something, something good will happen. We don't know how that story ends yet, but I know I'm infinitely happier and certainly healthier. My alcohol consumption is near zero now, down from a very excessive amount. My weight is down too. Bonus!

My advice is to take some time and try to discover what your interests or passions are. Then start making connections with people who have similar. If you don't know what those things are, then start doing new things which don't necessarily have anything to do with work or projects or money. Take some latin dance classes (much fun!). Take some fitness or sport classes. Travel and enjoy good food, and meet strangers.

Just maybe you will start to see where you can do things which make you feel energized, and just maybe it will become profitable.

Even mediocre managers are valuable. Some of us need a manager sometimes to keep us from falling into too many rabbit holes or to help us map goals and plans and stay on them. The way to find those people seems unclear or random, but it certainly seems that the more you connect with others, the better the chances are.
What do you think such an understanding would look like? A youtube rando may well have been researching something for a decade too yet be completely wrong (see: many conspiracy theorists), research time is often not particularly relevant.

Stepping to authority over youtube randos on the other hand seems like a flawed idea too, 'authority' is often a biased group of the old guard. And in the most controversial topics, you'll have widely varying opinions on who the authorities are.

Evidence then? Evidence can be cool, but is often really easy to spin whichever way the talking head wants. And that is if isn't outright doctored.

The scientific process, including peer review? Maybe, but this doesn't work particularly well on some of the most important things we want to discover truth in such as politics an recent events

Even in some kind of ideal world, where we can theoretically try to find the most truthful answer, we'd struggle hard. Let alone in our chaotic society where what's loudest and most catchy is surely going to outcompete whatever is the most truthlike
Yes. Block the banners; let them assume what they like; and discard cookies automatically.
When I was there, they rented space in a DC outside Chicago (near the airport), and later near NY for a backup location. The DC in Chicago was fantastic. We had a whole load of racks (about a row in the DC), and we bought our own servers. Running our own DC would have crossed the line, it's a whole huge thing you need to do and it only makes sense at scale if you want to do it well, Basecamp used a tiny fraction of the DC capacity.
in my world of embedded reverse engineering, very few people use ghidra for their daily work. we use ida or binja or vivisect.
we all know how to use it more or less at a hobbiest level, we even teach it at cons and trainings because it's free and people have heard of it.

but for reeeeaaal work, that needs to be done by the deadline, it rarely gets considered.
If you're using uBlock Origin just install the annoyances list, that gets rid of cookie banners AFAIK.

Edit: Damn, I should have read your comment until the end, sorry.
So without hopefully coming off too flippant, noise canceling headphones can solve all of that, they did for me in an open office space at least.

It was certainly intended to be a sincere question, thank you for your perspective! I do have a few follow questions if you're happy to answer:

Why does it matter if it's woke? The majority of the points seem to be purely beneficial. Isn't it better to support the ones that would provide a benefit and challenge the ones that are disagreeable?

Do you not think that there's a case to be made that white supremacy has found a voice in certain parts of the internet?

If you do agree, how would someone go about discussing how to tackle it without being dismissed as woke?

Personally I feel like discourse has grown more toxic. At the risk of "both sides"ing things, people generally seem much less willing to understand each other's positions and I believe that these algorithmic bubbles play a big part in that.
You can misuse them as such (I've done it myself, albeit on Windows), but they're not really made-to-measure for that use case. E.g. deleting files that have been "tagged" that way becomes more cumbersome (because to the OS all hardlinks are created equal, so deleting the "primary" file doesn't automatically delete the tags, too), it's incompatible with any program that uses "atomic" files saves instead of modifying files in-place, the UI for viewing and editing "tags" is not really there, …
It is in my first comment. People don't care about cookies. Browser is a common good, and an interface to the hive mind that must be developed by independent entitites, so GOOG must be robbed of their browser. Sorry, that's the way to go. Google is effectively policing the internet, time to wrestle that right away.
I agree, people only see the "success" and not what made it possible. That's why I find the "that person is simply better" argument nonsensical. Better at what? Rich guys what went to an expensive school , with other rich guys , then use their network of other rich guys to fund/use/advertise their product, which funny enough, most of the time get acquired into a bigger company that just dilutes the product into their ecosystem.
Webdev and Writing Are Similiar
You are right, also you cant access the basic info of the project, all the sensitive information is provided to those who are premium. this is just to filter out the spam provide the real value to the founders/sellers.
Yes ! Take some time out ! Change job if you can, work less, focus on one area, if you had ASD, try work in a company that use home office work, try integration in a group like yoga, music class, running club, work in your social interactions. Good luck
I think a lot of the people that say how much better ghidra is, just started reversing and use the decompiler a lot. The workflow and UX of IDA is so much better.

I guess there are a lot of people that just click around in the UI but for a keyboard based workflow, Ghidra has a lot of catching up to do even to IDA 4.x.
Thinker #0002 – Anne-Laure Le Cunff
"Embracing JOMO—the joy of missing out—means relishing to stay in, enjoying your own company, and getting to work on your own projects. In a hyperactive world of choices and info, the pared-back approach to life can help you achieve more."

— Anne-Laure Le Cunff
And definitely do not put any kind of work contact on your phone. If people are texting your private number, ignore it until you are back on the clock, or even consider blocking them. If you're not on the clock, you're not reachable. If they want you reachable, that's called "being on call" and is a separate negotiation involving higher wages and agreed-upon hours.
I used to work for Google and have yet to see Java compile faster than Go.
Man alive, OpenBSD's documentation is excellent. FreeBSD is good too, but there is just so, so much in the OpenBSD man pages.

OpenBSD also strikes a very good balance between "informative" and "terse" that should be held up as a model for others. Unfamiliar things may need a few readings to get everything, but it's all there without being a toilet-clogger.

Thanking for voting up the profile idea! It is a good one. Do you have any example searches? That would be helpful for me thinking about this. What searches would you want to see more of something else, that Google isn't already doing a good job of?

I could code things where if something shows up in Google results, it triggers another column of content from a specific source. Just need some more examples of what people are looking for.
I felt the same way until Tailscale mysteriously stopped working one day for iOS.

There’s no way to troubleshoot. A bunch of forum posters reported the same issue after an update, but no solution for a few months.
Exactly. I don't know why they are trying to push WFO so bad.
