I think I found an actual legitimate, real use of crypto, albeit a small one: A way for an adult to give a gift to a minor. Here in the US it used to be possible to buy "savings bonds" printed on paper. These were very common for gift giving on special life occasions: they matured (were usable) after e.g. 7 years.

But now in the modern era, I couldn't find those or a way to create a long-term savings account for a minor.

But I was able to create a crypto wallet with a small portfolio of Bitcoin and Eth. It was easy to give to her and her family: just tell them the secret 12 words and explain how to install a crypto wallet.
supporting multiple platforms is not easy at any scale

Indeed, but considering that Ryzen 5000 was better than 11th gen and Ryzen 6000 is better than 12th gen the solution is obvious: AMD only.

I’m pretty skeptical lawmakers are the best ones to make technical decisions like this.
Just use pv, you don't need cat with it like shown in the article:

pv some.iso >/dev/sdb

Or if you don't care about progress bar, you can use cp:

cp some.iso /dev/sdb

It's not really a technical decision.
Those are definitely blockchain features or benefits. But crypto(currency)? I'm not sure.
Wireless is not secure, while wired cables offer higher bandwidth and reliability. USB-C enables a range of peripherals, including storage, networking, video or even keyboards via docks which are now ubiquitous. Why cripple a beautiful phone by limiting its connectivity?
People like to complain, don't they? I let it upgrade while having dinner. When I came back I had forgot about the upgrade and was surprised that my background changed!
I definitely prefer having a dual monitor setup with a proper keyboard and pointing device at my desk, but my 16" MBP is quite serviceable when I want to sit elsewhere in my house for a change or take my work with me.

Now for 12"/13"/14" laptops, yes I agree that extended dev work isn't the most practical, but then again I spend most of my day with IDEs and simulators — it's probably a different story for someone who lives in a terminal or spends most of their time writing prose.
But the locality is typically only a town. Emailing all the dealers in the area for a quote and driving a bit out of your way to pick up the car isn't that hard.
Well if you want to limit amount of data you are getting from a command you need `head`

tail -c +STARTOFFSET $FILE | head -c MAXLENGTH

There are more than one way to do stuff with UNIX tools.
Our issues are even worse than that - we're not only all using linux, we're all on the same version of Ubuntu and still have constant "works on my machine" problems. Half the team can't even get some projects to run that were developed by another team, and the rest of us usually have to fiddle with them for a while before they'll run.
No magic formula--just do maintenance every couple of years and rebuild every couple of hundred.

Structures that lasted from ancient times to today were either made out of giant slabs of stone or had maintenance done on them repeatedly over the years.
Thank you, as a data engineer, that's exactly how I feel about the various concept surrounding data engineering. Or at the very least, the way they're being explained.
The problem is believing the branding. The Docker company was calling the emulator version and the native version the same name, but they're very much not. It's a Linux native system in the end.
In the past some of these were flaky and would hang using 100% cpu, I’d google “fspind 100% cpu” or whatever and find 20 other people with the same problem and zero info about what the process actually did.
Apple super doesn't care about data transfer rates for phones. They put USB 2.0 into them.

And wireless is secure if you do it right.
>3. Cars shouldn’t come with subscriptions to unlock features you own

We've already accepted that cars can come with artificially locked features, what's wrong with paying to unlock them?
Keep in mind Google is a massive outlier inside massively successful startups which are outliers inside SV which is an outlier inside...

Lots of places in the US are as far from those numbers as NZ. Google numbers should not be an reference point to almost anyone, anywhere or they're likely to be disappointed.
that's what I thought this was. I was disappointed.

That does hit me a bit. I've been reluctant to use desktop linux again after I finally got tired of how often I'd have to repair everything after a few years of use. People on threads like this keep claiming that it's "better now" and you just have to "pick the right hardware". How are the odds of that working well when that's the experience with a community-favorite device advertised for compatibility?

All downhill after Snow Leopard IMHO.
When you put it that way, it does sound like quite a nice benefit to have a standard way to deploy. I will persist with docker and develop on Linux more as other people have said.
Prince William did the same with Glass. But also only takes 1 and 2 plastic now.

My understanding was that there isn't any facility that can economically handle the glass anywhere in the region. So it just wasn't affordable to do anything other than crush it.
Yep, most non tech people I've met often have files saved everywhere and anywhere. They don't know where stuff goes half the time.
> wireless is secure if you do it right.

WiFi and bluetooth basebands and drivers have been repeatedly compromised, via public and non-public exploits. WPA3, despite promises of security improvements, remains vulnerable to deauth attacks. 5G LTE, despite promises of tower authentication improvements, remains vulnerable to IMSI catchers.

> FragAttacks (fragmentation and aggregation attacks) ... is a collection of new security vulnerabilities that affect Wi-Fi devices. An adversary that is within range of a victim's Wi-Fi network can abuse these vulnerabilities to steal user information or attack devices. Three of the discovered vulnerabilities are design flaws in the Wi-Fi standard and therefore affect most devices. On top of this, several other vulnerabilities were discovered that are caused by widespread programming mistakes in Wi-Fi products. Experiments indicate that every Wi-Fi product is affected by at least one vulnerability and that most products are affected by several vulnerabilities.

That’s our experience as well… This Technical Preview is an early downpayment, and we’re definitely looking for feedback on how one may could make the Wasm development experience better!
And that churn is by design. I wonder if they plan to freeze stack ranking, too.
That depends on the reference point.

From the human PoV We notice chimps ape us.

If Chimps were to study humans, they may also notice humans ape them and come to the conclusion that humans synchronize steps like chimpanzees do.

Us being human, then we notice they synchronize like we do.
I'd be really surprised if the majority of HN readers are anxious people with low self image who need external affirmation.

I do think it applies to reddit (probably ~80% of them are like that), but for HN I don't think would apply to more than 10%.
Maybe a lewdifier could instead merge lewdness into every picture.
No, it requires a cost/benefit mindset, like everything else.

There's nothing special about old buildings requiring compromise. Asbestos is just particularly costly. It sucks, and often it's more benefit in the long run to just rip that band-aid off now rather than live with suboptimal compromises for decades to come.
I can't say I feel this way about MacOS. If anything, I want to stop using Windows altogether. I absolutely love my Macbook and I can't see myself using any other operating system.
I think you're completely overestimating how much land is available in eastern states with "nobody living nearby". I've never seen any such land, at all. There's always someone living there. Go look up the population of any county in any east-coast state; it's not zero. You're also completely overestimating the amount of rural land with "little agricultural value" in the eastern states; any such land is usually a wetland, and protected for good reason.

The only places I've ever seen with "nobody living nearby" were in western states: Utah, Arizona, etc. It's not economical to ship trash from NY to AZ.
Moat of plastic recycling is focused on heating up and melting down thermoplastics. I've been wondering if there is another way. Like dissolving the plastics into solvents, then distilling and separating the different compounds in the solution, then pull out thr solvents in a recoverable way, then one would be left with pure compounds. It seems like the science and tech for this exists now, we just need to industrialized it and make it profitable to do so. Not unlike distilling organic compounds like we do today on a commercial scale.
Pretty sure Java is more like the Java of Infra
You've attempted to and failed because it isn't comparable, yes.
USB-Mini and Micro were both obsolete within 20 years.

They also don't understand the basic concept of losses. "It's only a loss if you sell" is alive and well in the Bitcoin space. They'll even argue this if you teach them the difference between realized and unrealized losses.
Thanks for the slow clap!
California olive oil is pretty good too.
You want Apple to break a lot of things Mac users are used to because you’re not used to them. You are clearly a Windows user and would benefit from buying a Mac user guide. Do they still update The Macintosh Bible? That sort of thing would help you a lot.
Yes, because the developers work at Intel.
I had one pretending to be an email confirming a package delivery from Amazon.
Their consumer base is shrinking even as it becomes more profitable. I doubt they have the nerve to cannibalize their high-end branding and profits, but if current trends continue then they're in trouble in the long run.
That would be awkward with their talk of renewables and recycling. "Wireless" charging loses a ton of efficiency compared to wired.

120Gbps ought to be enough for anyone.
> And tbh I don't like salary transparency because it usually tightens the range of comp for a position.

Well yes, that's kind of the point. It's supposed to be a good thing, since the theory is that salary variance is caused by unseemly factors rather than simple skill variance.
Yes, head exits when it's output enough. This causes tail to also call it quits as it has nothing to write to.
> There's a lot of the "it has less geekbenches than the M1 so it must be a total piece of crap" going on.

It's not that it benches worse than an M1, but rather that it doesn't do well against comparable x86 laptops. The whole reason M-series sells as well as it does is because people don't feel like they're giving up generations of power increases by buying them.

Low power ARM laptops have been a thing for a long time in the form of Chromebooks, and adding Windows to the equation alone isn't enough to get most people to take notice. For Windows on ARM to work, the hardware it's running on has to be at least as powerful as mainstream x86 laptops.
Type-A isn’t though.
This is one of the things Cuckoo filters do well: they need either one or two memory accesses per query, compared to a Bloom filter which needs k accesses (where k is typically greater than 5).
While true, that is not an answer to my question. C has a lot more going for it on the longevity front.
Yes they are absolutely banned in lots of places.

And there are whole programs designed to reduce worldwide deaths from smoke, precisely because it is a major problem. It's something we're actively working on because it's so serious and plausibly fixable.

So your entire argument is that the laws of physics need to get out of the way And you need to take several years of income from everyone in the country because you wanna fill up your car whenever you want without thinking about anything even an hour into the future?
Apple really should just phase out MacOS and replace it with iOS and a touchscreen interface (including for desktop systems). They can call it being "brave", and if you don't like it, they can tell you that you're just using it wrong.
This law does not carve the USB-C into stone. There is a review mechanism and a mechanism for monitoring the market and approving another port in the future when it's time to do so.

This is done through the USB Implementers Forum. All this law really, truly does is force manufacturers to sit around a table and work out a single solution for the whole electronics market. EU doesn't really care about USB-C or USB-D or USB-Whatever, they just require industry to set aside pettiness and work out a solution.

I wonder why this war would "shape the fate of democracy in this century", and not the wars and interventions and regime change in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon/Israel/Iran/etc., Myanmar, Yemen, Georgia, Ukraine circa 2014, China/Tibet/Hong Kong/Taiwan/Xinjiang/Mongolia/etc., not to mention the countless examples all over the world including the creation and ultimate destruction of the USSR throughout the 1900s.

Doesn't really add up. China, ME, USA, and Africa will be vastly, vastly more consequential this century in terms of people affected and global impact, than Russia's border wars. Except that it's pretty short sighted to push Russia toward China IMO, although that might be exactly how things were orchestrated, in which case we could also file it in the China/USA box.
In what sense? We can always use more brilliant mathematicians and scientists, but I'd imagine if they put their energy into understanding their different perspectives and exploring calculus and notation together, they could have achieved even more.

1. That’s a great illustration why socialism does not work. When everyone gets a regulated paycheck, everyone thinks they are underpaid. No one in the whole country is paid _extremely generously_. So people kinda disappear from their working places, even when they are honestly sitting on a chair assigned.

2. But. Even in a socialist country there is always a bunch of people who love their job more than a paycheck. Let’s call them “real professionals”. They just love to get things done.

3. When a real professional comes to a capitalist country he sees that there is a huge demand for their services and no real competition. Cause a lot of capable people virtually disappear whenever they damn well please unless they are paid _extremely generously_ for their work. For example:

4. Our customer was complaining that they have too many problems with our software. I was sent to look into that. When I arrived their CTO demonstratively unscrewed the plate with the name of our company from the door of the room I was assigned to. Shrug. Working. Issue #1, issue #2, … issue #23. Sound customers hear while connecting through our switch goes up, then down, then up, then down… Investigation revealed that one department under the CTO bought their voice files from one vendor, the other department under the CTO bought their files from another vendor. One bunch was twice as loud as another.

Now, neither vendor was going to do anything about that unless they are paid extremely well for the additional job. Neither department was going to do anything about their files unless they are paid extremely well for their work (actually they were demanding each other blood, but you can consider it just a kind of currency). I scratched my head. It is definitely not our job, we just connect a source to a destination. But. Actually our software can see which department a voice file comes from. I am going to give you an option: based on a voice file source you will be able to adjust the volume by a configured amount. And this configuration can be changed in real time, so basically you will have a volume knob you can adjust while software runs.

It took 15 minutes to code and a week of QA, which does not count since it is always a week of QA. Anyway in a week issue #23 was gone. Next.

In four months the CTO told me that in 15 years in the tech industry he never saw a company as aggressive as ours. The definition “aggressive” gave me a pause. Nothing we did seemed “aggressive” to me. We humbly listened to the problems and did our best to help, without sorting “our problem” or “not our problem”. It’s kind of opposite to “aggressive”, no?

5. A customer from that F..<something> list of big companies that is often thrown around but I could not remember it exactly told me once that when something happens, they pray (as in pray to God) that it was our company fault. Or, if not - that we were able to find a workaround.

—-

So of cause, go ahead - disappear unless you are paid extremely well for your work. Even if that work is dropping a line warning people that your plans have changed. Such a widespread attitude gets me paid extremely well. Kinda ironic, no?
Yes, it's registered in Denmark as a "frivillig forening", and Google had approved its non-profit status (they outsource this to another company that will verify with the central business register (CVR in Denmark) and request additional documentation).

I've seen an aspect of this firsthand, working in crypto. There are now generations of college graduates with degrees / concrentrations in "blockchain" in one way or another. They nominally have computer science or software engineering degrees, but readily admit that they are bad programmers and don't like programming.

So we have a growing cohort of people who are emotionally all-in on blockchain. They've planned and built their careers and reputations around it.
I'm unsure how this helps prevent e-waste, all it seems guaranteed to do is ensure that any existing lightning accessories need to be replaced.

If this legislation was 10 years earlier everything in the EU would be using micro/mini-usb today - and usb-c would not be an option without new legislation.

I'm a long-time Mac user who made the switch back to FreeBSD and Windows at the beginning of the year due to my disappointments with the direction the Mac has gone since Tim Cook took over. I started thinking about switching away from the Mac after the October 2016 release of the touch menu MacBook Pro, but what took me a while to switch was wrestling with leaving macOS, which has been (and still is, at least until Mojave) my favorite desktop operating system. However, what pushed me toward finally switching to PCs was (1) the increased iOS-ificiation of macOS starting with Catalina, plus (2) my desire for user-upgradeable hardware.

While I'm satisfied with my FreeBSD (with KDE Plasma as my desktop)/Windows dual-boot situation, neither KDE nor Windows are my ideal desktops. For the past few years I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I'd like out of an operating system and what would be a compelling alternative to macOS even in its heyday. I'm working on a side project called MallowOS (http://mallowos.com/) that is my vision of an ideal workstation OS and could be thought of as a "retrofuturistic" operating system had some of the visions of Xerox PARC researchers, the Apple's Advanced Technology Group, and Lisp hackers (among others) been realized.

Other operating system projects I'm paying close attention that are even more macOS-inspired than my system are helloSystem (https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/) and rayvnOS (https://airyx.org/). I hope these projects gain traction so that way they become solid options for long-time Mac users who are disappointed in Apple's direction but who want to use a familiar interface with applications designed with familiar UI/UX guidelines.

Sorry for the delayed response, but the problem we're trying to help solve is how to help lower the barrier of entry to using Wasm apps leveraging the tool many developers are already using. As an example example, with Docker+Wasm you can use a Dockerfile to build the app in a container image, distribute the Wasm bundle as an OCI artifact, and test it locally using the Wasm runtime. While the ability to build using containers has existed all along, the ability to actually run the Wasm app locally side-by-side your other containers (and leverage the same container network) is new. Hope that helps!
