The primary purpose of buying a house is to live in it. Don't look at month to month price fluctuations. The minimum holding period for a house should be 5-7 years due to transactions costs including realtor commission, mortgage origination fees, moving your stuff, and implicit costs like a zillion trips to the hardware store in the beginning.
Stop trying many programming languages. Eventually you'll become a "jack of trades, master of none."

Pick one or two, then try to master them for different purposes, say Dart/Flutter for frontend, and Go/Rust for backend.

I remember learning that when Pixar did a pan-and-scan version of one of their movies, they wouldn't just use a floating 4:3 frame over the 16:9 original -- they'd re-render the movie, moving items around as necessary, to get a better framing. The perfectionism was palpable when we'd meet with them.

> the concept of defamation (förtal) is not limited to false statements.

This is the creepiest thing about a number of countries that claim to have freedom of speech as part of their constitution or laws. Instead of limiting defamation claims to false statements, they make defamation depend on a) the mental state of the accused defamer (did they intend to harm), b) the effect (usually financial) on the alleged defamed, or more likely an unholy combination of the two.

The combination of the two results in, from a), a reliance on the fantasies of the court and law enforcement about other people's mental states (people they like didn't really mean it or didn't completely understand how it would be perceived, people they don't like are evil masterminds), and from b), the wealthier people are, the more dangerous they are to tell the truth about.

a) obviously leads to a VIP justice system for elites and the politically connected. The funny thing about b) is that it's the perfect law to protect quacks and fraudsters, because they'll be the most provably harmed by truthful statements.

I wouldn't say that so much as people had to physically go somewhere to use the stolen information. The possible damage was local and limited.
I agree. My use of dd just scratches the surface of its capabilities, but this article hasn't convinced me in the slightest to use anything else.

I've seen a lot of hate for dd lately and I don't really understand why, except that maybe people are getting hung up on the nonstandard arg format and unaware of the tool's versatility. I'm not convinced that cat or tail are better (or even as good) for the examples listed in TFA, and if I couldn't remember something as easy as "status=progress" there's no way I'm going to memorize those cat and head pipe contraptions.
I love this point. Joke: are are you hiring?

I'm quite happy to try to demonstrate how I think, but I hate hate hate leet code because A) it's not relevant to showing how one thinks and B) I've read so much dunking on it on HN that I'm now stopping interviews when they pull out the hackerrank or live code to say 'without using the library, reverse this linked list'.
Conversely, try at least one of each style of programming language: dynamic/scripting, statically-typed garbage collected, functional, lisp, etc. Each one teaches you how to use any given language in better ways.

They made a bold move with refunding literally every sale stadia related. Maybe the next launch can just have a contract with "use this product regularly and if we kill it we'll give you 500$". I certainly would have tried stadia if they made the refund promise in advance. Or at least bought some of the controllers for steam
In German, we have almost the same expression, "ein Schuss vor den Bug." Literally, it translates to "a shot in front of the bow." I never thought about where it came from. Interesting to learn.

The expression has somehow always felt more like a frontal attack that stops right before actually hitting you. But my head may have conflated it with "jemandem etwas vor den Latz knallen," which translates to "slap something in front of somebody's bib."
Show HN: Rundmz – library for runnable Markdown for tutorials and demos
I put together a library in Golang which lets you use Markdown in a literate programming style. Blockquotes and comments can specify associated actions, calling back into your Go code. This lets you create tutorials and scripts which can be viewed in a browser or run on the command line. We use this in the OpenZiti project (https://github.com/openziti/ziti) for our tutorials and demos. I thought others might be interested in using the code or even just the concept.
The equivalent for AMD CPUs is called the Platform Security Processor (PSP). I am not aware of a way to disable it.

I don't know about Apple CPUs but they definitely have co-processors running besides the main CPU.

In fact, many people talk about the IME but the practice of having proprietary systems with their own privileged hardware is the norm nowadays. Another example is the "baseband" processor in phones, it is a complete proprietary system with its own processor, OS, etc... and it controls the modem, among other things.

> Sometimes I'd be happy to throw $100 on top of some specific issue

The problem with this approach is that while that's a lot for you to throw on a bounty, it's not much compared to the going rate of a software engineer. Even as a full-time employee you're probably making north of $90/hour and a good bug that gets a bounty certainly takes longer than an hour to fix.

We have mostly the same in Denmark, though it is possible to apply for non-disclosure of name and address online [0] if you want to stay more private.
I have spoken with expats who were rather surprised by it, but most danes don't really think too much about it. Similarly if you have a .dk domain your address must be listed on the whois.

It should be noted that non-disclosure of name and address goes further, for example it was possible to see if anyone had it in the online system my university used because they would show up as their student id instead of their name in the interface.

Solar-powered smelting would be great but this is not it.

This is melting metal, not smelting it, which means reducing non-metallic ores to metal and is the crucial technology that allows people to use metals in the first place (other than copper). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting:

> Smelting is a process of applying heat to ore, to extract a base metal. It is a form of extractive metallurgy. It is used to extract many metals from their ores, including silver, iron, copper, and other base metals. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gases or slag and leaving the metal base behind.

Likely the most effective way to reduce iron or copper from ore with solar power at a human scale would be electrolytic metal reduction: hydrometallurgy or electrometallurgy rather than pyrometallurgy.

Pyrometallurgical processes at human scale are painfully inefficient; see Christopher Roy's documentary "From iron ore to iron hoe: smelting iron in Africa" or John Plant's more recent experiment "Primitive Technology: Iron knife made from bacteria", both available on YouTube for the time being. These are both charcoal-powered rather than sun-powered, but I think the higher temperatures attainable by solar power will only increase the process's efficiency modestly.

The false claim is original to Jelle Seegers (see https://archive.fo/qk3dZ), not introduced by Kris De Decker, but you can be sure that De Decker will not correct the error. He is consistently enthusiastic about continuing to promulgate his false claims even after they are pointed out.
I wasn't sure if it was real or fan fiction. But Googling his name turns up an IMDB account of the story (still doesn't answer the question) but also a link to the article from the Marion Military Institute:

I think the competition is Microsoft and Google (not so much Lenovo, Asus, Dell, Acer, Samsung...) and Apple does well against both if privacy is a major consideration. Microsoft's direction over 10 and 11 have been unsettling.
Sure, doesn't mean that everything works though. The Thinkpad x13s has the same CPU and apparently is quite tricky to get booted. Once booted audio, sleep, bluetooth and the like has been problematic. Granted that's more of an issue with a laptop than a SFF like the DevKit.

Things do seem to be improving. Releasing the Thinkpad x13s has brought attention to the 8cx gen 3 from the Linux community.
Hi everyone. I'm the author of the blog post above, and I am sorry that I caused so much confusion.

I have spent much of today trying to clear things up, and will be writing a follow up to the post.

I see some concern around the mention of a DAO, I tried to get across in the blog post that community is incredibly important, and so I mentioned it as a possible way to ensure community governance, not to create a cryptocurrency and sell that. I mentioned it to be entirely transparent that it was a way that we are possibly investigating to make sure community is still involved.

Thanks to our paying clients, the company has been able to hire some maintainers, and contribute back the changes we've made back to the project so everyone can benefit. We are also looking into establishing a fund to not only pay contributors, but also projects we rely on.
I’d like to know more about AMD specifically too. I’m well aware that PSP is their equivalent but there seems to be so little information out there about it. Is it really an equivalent? Is it as bad as ME? Can it be disabled? Does it have the same level of access as ME? Have their been any exploits of it yet?

The wikipedia page is rather bare. There’s a couple of papers linked to but frankly they go over my head. Is there any respectable analysis out there?
Some of the Dell professional laptops, at least many of the Dell Precision mobile workstations, have a customization option that allows the buyer to choose "Intel ME disabled".

I hope that they really do disable it in the laptops sold with this option.
>See the routine I posted above in this thread.

See my reply to it showing an incredible amount of errors.... I bet you work in crypto pricing, right? From your claims it is clear you do not even understand how your code works (claiming it's using int64, when I clearly showed it's using arbitrary sized integers since your intermediate results don't fit in int64).

>All you really need to do is insure you have enough range for penny accuracy

Which your code woefully does not do...
So then how is the cover letter optional? You're just wasting the time of everyone who applied with a cover letter.
> Standard practice for right wing parties to blame immigrants (or refugees, etc.).

On the flip side, standard practice for left wing parties is to deny that immigration causes any problems at all and call you racist for even trying to discuss it. However, as we are seeing in Sweden, sometimes the problems become too big to ignore.
What ends up being ok for me in my apartment is an inexpensive 'dumb' space heater on a wifi plug and a room fan with a temperature sensor I made with an ESP32 on it all tied into home assistant to be a 'smart' thermostat. I have baseboard heating and its set up terrible in this apartment.
FYI, your page sets the min-width on the body to 1500px, and both the min-width and max-width of .content-outer to 1500px, making it very difficult to read on any monitor that isn't widescreen. Doesn't seem to be an issue on mobile, though.

Responsive design dictates that you should basically never set the min-width of an article container (in pixels) unless it contains tables and graphics, and even then 1500px is excessive (at most like 500px/30em)
We used to also live in an environment where it was far harder to scale the misuse of information and profit from that misuse.

It's also extremely reductive to just boil everything down into 'ads'.

You're welcome and I don't think you should feel bad, your post seemed OK to me.

This particular announcement isn't even meant to generate goodwill really, although I can see why it's interpreted that way. It's not like there's a new open source release coming. It's just resolving some duplication issues in the way these already open source projects are being developed by Oracle "donating" from one arm to the other :) The goodwill should instead come from the decade+ funding of this very advanced and large research project, which is teaching the world a lot about fundamental computer science (complete with large set of academic papers), and for which almost all the core cleverness is given away under liberal licenses.

Be aware that they do have a commercial offering built on top of Graal, the enterprise edition. It makes programs go faster, and has a few other useful features. But there's nothing nefarious about that of course.

> Painting is constant problem solving.

Turn off your brain and paint away. Doesn't have to be a Rembrandt but something interesting may come out and most important you enter flow state. I'm a prolific painter and there's a bit of problem solving involved but that usually solves itself by working on other pieces and solutions ensue by themselves when you return to problematic works. Always works out for me. I never work on one piece at a time but 10 or 20 without any outside pressure. The more you do spend time 'doing' the better you get without being frustrated/stuck thinking about it. Good luck
Your initial experiments and decision to build on arrow-rs has been great for the project. Thank you and everyone involved.
Ok I've worked it out myself. I was inventing a magic free energy machine.

I was thinking a cop of 4 would be able to extract 4 units of energy to the heat exchangers 1. But there's only 1 unit of energy in it to extract, which the heat exchanger is already extracting basically for free.
>>On the otherhand, I know I would resent the technical cofounder receiving an enormous financial benefit from developing a non-viable disaster from which the company needs to be rescued.

If the technical cofounder created a working prototype that allowed the company to achieve certain milestones (e.g. paying customers, seed funding) then I'm not sure why you'd be resentful because it seems the (initial) job was accomplished.

You rightly point out that you bring a valuable contribution to the table, but it seems you might (possibly) be underestimating how capable and determined the founders (and their investor network) will be able to source somebody else to rearchitect the platform.

If you're one of the few luminaries in your niche, then feel free to start negotiating for a large compensation package that includes serious equity or favourable provisions. If on the other hand you feel that there could be others that could rearchitect on a "good enough" basis at a (potentially) lower compensation price point, then perhaps you might want to lower your expectations walking into the initial negotiation.

Either way, it intuitively feels that your expected negative emotional resentment is not the right frame to start evaluating the possibilities around this opportunity.
