Honest question, is there are Matrix client that has a decent amount of UX work gone into it? I recently started to use Fluffy, that looks pretty good with a nice clean design, but does not have the same level of polish as Telegram, at least not yet. It's open source and one should try to contribute and not complain, that I figure, but not everyone can contribute in the first place.
This is only true if people are underpaid in their salary bands -- which certainly can happen.

However, it doesn't have to. We are still small with our experiment, but we pay 95% percentile in our market, plus provide additional benefits well above the norm.

We have no issues hiring and retaining high performing staff because we pay as much or more than they would get elsewhere in the local market.
Particularly not Stage Manager, which needs to be explicitly activated, right?
I guess this would comport with his concept of slave morality that states that the collective is more important than the individual and tends to trend towards the lowest common denominator.
There are jurisdictions other than the US, you know? Germany, for example, places unsolicited nude photos as a felony [1].

Off-topic, but a somewhat similar experience for me was learning about Alt+select. Allows you to select parts of a hyperlink without actually activating the link. (At least in Firefox.)

When you first hear about it, you think "What's the big deal?", but then you quickly find that you use it pretty often.
Offtopic but I have to say it: feeding young boys drugs because they are "hyperactive" is a pure expression of how backwards we have everything.

Young boys are meant to be energetic, so obviously they will rebel when they are locked in a room for 6+ hours a day, forced to learn things, 95% of which every honest adult will admit has zero practical impact on life.
The level of self-deluded irrationality you exhibit makes my point. You are the one who seems to think on a base(nazi) level. Tell me, how many nazis is the weather today? Are the nazis everywhere? Please do tell.

In case you are not catching on; just because the word “camp” appears in “concentration camp” and you have been viscerally conditioned all your life to produce negative neurological signals upon association with the code/signal “concentration camp” like any other trained animal, does not make my use of “camp” any of what you associate it with.

So you can further understand; I used “camp” because it is a camp, an assembly and concentration of facilities, you know, the root of “campus”. It is a camp, campus (whichever you prefer) within which people are indoctrinated to the state/government/ruling class whims; hence, indoctrination camp(us).

Man, is there any education provided at all anymore? It’s starting to feel like talking to the children of the corn, who do not understand how anything works.

Same with Windows. And it can be done on Linux. Sometimes you may need to update manually, like if you turned off the computer while transporting it, you need to do something at 2 a.m. etc.

And everything is exactly as you left it except not really. Your REPL is now dead, Emacs has lost all its buffers, etc. I just have all the programs I had open but they all lost their state and so it's completely utterly useless. But hey they're all open and technically in the same position...

Firefox, on the other hand, seems to download a ton of Rust packages during the build as opposed to vendoring. (Debian maintains a bunch of hacks to allow vendoring all the Rust components, but this isn't the default or the approach taken by other distros, e.g. Arch Linux.)
Even though I do have WhatsApp I wouldn't have noticed without this HN headline.

Everyone I message with is via iMessage or Signal nowadays and I only have WhatsApp because I am part of a few sports clubs which have a WhatsApp group but we don't chat enough for me to notice a downtime like today.

Makes me happy to see how I've actually managed to rid myself of WhatsApp for the most part.
I think with the rise of online communities, it's not as applicable anymore.

Gladwell says you're only comparing against yourself against your peers at your school, and not the world, but for me, I've absolutely compared myself from people from other universities (and for that matter, other countries).

For example, there are people 2-3 years younger than me who have a public output of projects/writing that is 100 times more than mine. I'm probably somewhat high up among in my own university in project output, but I still made this comparison, partially because online communities allow me to hear about these people.
On the other side of the same coin there is realised and unrealised gains. You only gained something if you sold it at profit.

In general any speculation have been in very weird headspace recent years. Have to see if it continues, but moving forward things might be different.
What I've learned is that having a team of passionate, driven people has nothing to do with treating it "like a family" which is both sinister and creepy.

Another reason it's a red flag: it's a signal that the company has a somewhat dated approach to hiring.

The current generation seems much better at noticing this kind of bullshit than mine.
If you use SMS then you are sending not just your metadata, but the content of your messages in cleartext to your provider and the recipient’s, and depending on where you/your recipient lives, potentially the authorities too.

I’m all for living under a privacy rock, but WhatsApp is a much better rock than SMS.
outside $$ can be a bad influence on passion projects. Stuff that might make a buck or two, yea okay but man can they kill a passion project and angood engineers idea.

So, do you need to be in touch with these people instantly 24/7? Because if that's the case it's useful to have some sort of back-up. If it isn't, then the usual Whatsapp outage isn't actually an issue for you, since it takes a couple of hours in the absolute worst case scenario. And if you really need to get in touch, you won't care that calling them is a bit expensive.

At least with Windows 11, I honestly think Microsoft feel like they have a winner on their hands in terms of a next gen interface that feels more fresh and able to be modernized than Win32 that ultimately is based on a fixed display resolution.

There's just the air around it and the enthusiasm I feel from Microsoft. I think it's been received well. They're moving Office towards it and many other applications too, even Windows Terminal. Common taskbar complaints are addressed at ... well, let's just say a pace. Windows 11 22H2 now supports drag & drop again. Wow.

Unfortunately it's taken them many years to get here due to the missteps starting with Windows 8, where they thought they could have both desktop and smartphones sharing the same design language. Then they didn't manage to penetrate the smartphone market and suddenly many design decisions no longer made sense, because choices on desktop were made due to choices on smartphone... In turn due to touch interfaces and limited screen space.

They're slowly undoing it all over the OS.

But it's taking them so damn long. Years and years to make a single Control Panel page obsolete. They're truly victims to their own mega success and idea of maintaining backwards compatibility causing them to move at the bare minimum speed forward for some sort of software development that a manager can still call "progress".

And now they recently moved from the idea of two releases per year to one every third year with minor feature updates in between. I think they realized they are just moving too damn slow forward to make anything quicker marketable.

Still don't know why a smaller cable was needed. This card is the size of a game console, why does it need a slim cable? I would much rather buy some AIB partner 4090 that has four 8-pin connectors instead of one new connector.
When you understand how a PAM config file works, it's all pretty simple and readable. The biggest problem is missing documents detailing how it works.

Screen brightness all the way down.

iStat Menus has a thing where you can put the current power draw in watts in the menu bar, and it's easy to run at 4-5W with an M1 Pro while just surfing and text editing. With just a couple spikes for compiling, installing, etc. you can very easily hit close to 20 hours for many coding workflows if that's your goal.

I like a bright screen, so I usually get closer to 10 hours, but it charges fast — about 50% in 30 minutes if it's low. (The last 20-30% runs a little slower because battery chemistry.)
Lol why does that page return 404 with actual content?
It can be anything you want it to be, especially inside the confines of your own setup.

Do you want to quickly debug some software that relies on an older version of Postgres 9 but you don't want to clutter your host machine? Just run the following command to fetch and start an instance. With --rm flag it's going to be removed as soon as you terminate it:

I once tried tacking against the wind through a gap between two lakes that acted like a funnel. The funnel effect created such strong waves that I couldn't get my boat to turn into the wind. Eventually I gave up and tried it on the motor, but it was too weak to power against the waves and the wind. So what I ended up doing was sailing, tacking, but using the motor to force the boat through the wind for the tack. That worked, but it was one of the weirder hacks I've done in sailing.

(My English sailing terminology might be incorrect; I'm Dutch, and sailing terminology is the only area of language that I only know in Dutch.)
Signal doesn't press you to setup (by default) unencrypted cloud backups.
You drive a car. You drive your car to a location where you can buy food that you want to eat in another place. You do not bring a reusable container. You do not keep single-use yet reusable stuff for later. You buy a drink that comes, for whatever reason, with a straw.

So I'm not sure how much we gain by banning plastic straws of all things. This in itself will not move any relevant metric into the right direction. But maybe, just maybe, starting with the small and everyday stuff we can wean us off the addiction to plastic. A mere 70 years ago there was virtually no plastic in use for any purpose. Think of that. Nowadays we demand our bags, straws, and yoghurt cups be made of plastic, because what else? And we put plastic to use in insane applications, like the grass trimmer you rightly mention. One might add plastic insulation foam that you are these days more or less required by law to wrap your entire building in (at least in Germany), even if it's an old house with 40cm thick brick walls. This are uncounted millions of cubic meters of plastic foam that is now being finely diluted over the entire country. If and when this society should collapse or degrade much of that plastic will as time passes come off and be blown all over the place like toxic snow. This law is always being asserted as being necessary "for the climate", "for the environment". From that point of view I can only agree that we're living in an insane society.

But then again you own and drive a car that you use so you can eat at home without cooking at home. You're part of the puzzle I'd say, like the rest of us.
Lots of people with a house and car they cannot afford, though.
Here's a good write-up on Stage Manager: https://eclecticlight.co/2022/09/12/why-venturas-stage-manag...

What I didn't know, is that you can hide "Recent Apps" (the app thumbnails on the left) in System Settings. It supplements Mission Control & Spaces, and makes it quite easy to switch between apps. You can also group multiple windows together to switch to them in one tap. Pretty neat.
Written as someone who has never contended with byte order. Yes. It is still a thing.
What does "doesn't work" mean here, and who learns that lesson?

E-mail is decentralized, but every now and then a hn post pops up, complaining about how you can't run your own email server these days. Billions of people don't use email for personal communication, but use centralized apps like WhatsApp and many businesses do the same with WhatsApp, Slack and similar apps.

To me it looks like running a centralized service works really well for companies like Meta and Google and the fast majority of people pick those services over something else. I don't think many people will change their mind about this because of one outage.

The real lesson here is that apple can do pretty much anything at this point and the historical users will still stay into their ecosystem (even the author who seems more and more disappointed as the years are passing admits that).

Now the younger generation is much more promising in terms of revenues and it already has an iphone so it's very logical to make macOS intuitive for ios users. Providing instant productivity is probably the most valuable thing you can do to those new users from a software perspective.

I think it's quite unfortunate that the command line tools seem to have gotten frozen in stone.

People barely use dd for anything but copying disk images -- but it's kind of a clunky tool for that. It's got a weird unusual syntax, it requires knowing weird arcane details like what size sectors a device likes working with, and it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it.

You'd think that after decades somebody would have made a handy tool for actually writing disk images as an end user. It could use more standard arguments, do sanity checks for destination device contents and mounted filesystems, and automatically determine the optimal block size for the destination device.

It's almost like if we decided that a chisel is the normal tool to use as a flat screw driver.
I for one love this now this reduces attack area by making my app as run time plus i get to integrate it with existing tooling like kubernetes and my app can scale. It is a win win
Also, one of the "cons" has been noted as it "works" on a single machine. You can "fix" that by enabling LDAP on the hosts and authenticating everything via that thing called an LDAP server.

We're doing this for a very long time on 500+ machines, and it just works. If you want to sync configs, you can do this with another "femtoservice" running somewhere.

I understand the concerns, but just badmouthing things because they're evolving for decades instead of built from top to bottom every three years is bad to put it mildly.
Yes you can, you just drag the item to the top of the screen, to the fullscreen app's desktop, and onto the app.
And if you don't like that, you can disable it. It's both modular and flexible.
Depends on the context you bring up "failed state" - I was talking from the view of a political system and leadership fully in control of all the institutions of governance. (For example, Pakistan is a failed state from that perspective as the Pakistan government lacks control over the military and the intelligence services, due to which Pakistan has often been under military rule).

It is definitely to Putin's credit that Russia has enjoyed political stability and unity for the last 2 decades, despite the lack of credible economic growth.

> Regulated how?

I don’t have the knowledge to decide this on a whim.

> How can regulation address what you mentioned?

By limiting the companies creating these models. Eg, you can’t create a model that produces nudity, gore etc.

> Harassing someone is already illegal.
> Should hammers be regulated because they can be used to bludgeon people?

Stabbing someone was illegal but we in the UK we still banned carrying knives in public. These things are not black and white and trying to frame them as such will get you nowhere.
Running Gentoo on 9900KS and 980 Pro SSD with 64GB of memory, kernel compiles in about 8 minutes, the longest project to build I've seen is Chromium and QT Web Engine at ~120m. It's OK but I'm tempted by the new Ryzen CPUs.
For those curious about how you’d find things like this: look in the media type registry at <https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xht...>; the likely search terms for something like this would be “URI” and “URL”.

Still, I would agree with the original statemnt “There seems to be no standard mime type for a URL.” as text/uri-list is for a list of URLs with ␍␊ line separator and #-prefied comments. It would have been nice to have a MIME type for an individual URL with none of that, but it’s a bit late now, for best results anyway.
If it was a feature, what's the benefit?
>The solution to chicken-or-egg problems is known: you spend money to just overpower the problem.

Ah yes, "just spend more money" has solved so many problems over the years. Can anyone even name a single time a lot of money was spent and the product failed? Victory is practically guaranteed!
I think this really depends on the type of work you're doing. I've found that often the work I'm paid to do at many jobs is one step away from pure code monkey - even if that job is pulling me $1m+/yr. It seems like the author here is more on the design side and isn't working as an IC anymore. So they probably are making big decisions rather than having to implement others decisions. (I loathe implementing others but they pay me the big bucks to shut up and do it)

I've given up trying to innovate or give new ideas. They're obviously not valued at all. How often does management actually listen to ICs and give credit? Next to never unless they're a puppet. Your peers and team lead might like what you propose but management is incredibly risk averse and wants "innovations" to come from their puppets. You're not one of their puppets and start proposing things? You're just putting your job at risk because it undermines their leadership decisions. ("Why is X in charge when Y is proposing better ideas?" is a statement that starts getting thrown around a lot - it happens very fast)

SV is incredibly political. Maybe some parts of the world aren't and you can get some freetime in where you work "creatively". Maybe when you're not working in engineering anymore you can get more freedom in these realms but for eng ICs - the motto is shut up.

Sadly, almost certainly. The results of your action is that the entire load is rejected as mixed waste and sent to landfill rather than being able to be recycled so although your intentions are good, the end result is far worse than if you didn't do it all.

I used company-provided dell/lenovo laptops for more than a decade. This isn't specific to the 12th gen intel version.

Intel GPU issues on linux were/[are?] omnipresent. Aside from a few lucky generations, for me it always took 1yr after obtaining a new laptop to resolve most of the issues. We go from random suspend issues related to the display not coming up, to massive framebuffer corruption when moving the hw cursor around making the display unusable without workarounds. The biggest issues usually get resolved within the first 2-6 months, but still it's extremely annoying for the absolutely most popular gpu in linux territory, and often quoted as "the best supported gpu" from a driver perspective too. I know intel employs a few full-time employees for this. Far too little apparently for a company of this size. First to get KMS, yet I couldn't ever get opencl working without their own custom/broken driver which is not even part of mesa, not to mention the amount of software that downrights blacklists intel drivers everywhere.

I'm on a T14 amd now. Can't say it's all rosey (it isn't), but I had next to zero issues on the GPU front with vega straight after getting it.
A reason could be standardised build/deployment/testing.
>Also, and as opposed to common beliefs. You can cook on olive oil

Loosely in Europe all mediterranean area countries have a tradition of cooking on olive oil since forever. (and of course Portugal, northern Africa countries, the Middle East, they all use oil for cooking).

> The real question is why are Google’s salaries so low?

The real question is - why are they so high? There are literally tens/hundreds of thousands of qualified candidates that Google rejects in their hiring process. This makes the remaining candidate pool small enough that they have to offer half a mill to get them. If Google's hiring wasn't so restrictive, they could pay much less. However, since they're basically printing money, there's no incentive to go there yet.
