Yeah, I really wish there was more focus on not wasting energy. Off the top of my head:

We have a normal furnace/air conditioner combo (I live in a climate where summer air conditioning is essential), it has no concept of outside air temperature. I really would like a system where it doesn't have the concept of being set to cool/off/heat, but rather a concept of ideal temperature/heat-to/cool-to. Before running the high energy systems it looks at the outside air temp to see if it would be more efficient to turn on a fan to bring in outside air. It also will use that fan to adjust the temperature towards ideal but will not use the high energy systems to do so.

The HVAC should also be able to communicate with the refrigerator. If heat is desired in the house the refrigerator uses coils inside the house to dispose of it's waste heat. If heat is not desired it uses outside coils.
You can just allow those smaller scope commands and nothing else in sudo.

That's a part of a reason for its complexity it does allow you to do anything between "make user be another user with all priviledges" to "just allow to run this particular command and nothing more".

Having one that had option for more limits would be interesting (say use cgroups to change running user but disallow command from modifying anything aside from this one single directory you specified) but, well, that's way more code that also needs to be secure...
Yes but company performance is based on financial outlooks. You say 'We will be this efficient with our assets and hit these revenue numbers' and then you do or do not.
>Youtube also has tons of long-form 1+ hours content. There's a recent machine learning video that's 25+ hours long and it's not hidden away in obscurity. It's prominently listed on the 1st page of search results for "deep learning tutorial" : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+learning+t...

I would be careful with statements like this. I believe that the Youtube search results are tuned by your personal viewing history, and of course just on a general basis the results are subject to change. I don't see the video you are talking about when I do that search, but then I don't know what you mean by 'on the 1st page' since it is an infinite scroll.
"I don't know what it does. I don't know how it would be controlled. I don't know how to keep kids away from it," he (Stayton Mayor Henry Porter) said. "I guess it's the fear of things we don't understand."
Effective leaderships carefully try out something new to get a better understanding.

Banning something because the official doesn't understand it would kill many innovations, because knowledge of any officials is infinitely small to all human knowledge.
What do you think is an appropriate score? Looks reasonable to me.
If you contact their support over email they'll enable the option for you to use a card as your funding source. But IIRC you have to connect a bank account first with more than $50 in it and then you can switch to the card.

I've mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I like the uniformity and simplicity of RSS, its vibe of good old times and the ability to avoid ad-driven ranking algorithms. On the other hand, many media/content sources offer legitimately sophisticated recommendation systems that are more effective than having dozens of unranked high-frequency inputs a day in your RSS inbox. For sources with more curated and low-frequency output there is no trade-off, though.

It is illegal to do layoffs like this at scale without following the California WARN act:

It's a dick move and demonstrates someone who doesn't understand how to build worker loyalty. Forcing people to tap dance 80+ hours a week or be fired (without mega compensation) doesn't earn you loyalty. Yeah, he claims he works 120 hour weeks, but he also reaps nearly all of the compensation.

But I think the benefit of all this is having someone trying to break the laws. He's pentesting federal & state worker protections. That's a good thing in the long term, not so much in the short term.

It sounds more like a stock image description, generated from basic archival metadata. They have photojournalists and a photo archive, and I'm certain they're very careful to record date and location for all their photos to make archival use possible.

Reuters also does a lot of very pithy company reporting like this, I wonder if they collect catalogs of generic images related to this-or-that company to "illustrate" those articles. I bet there's some SEO need for it (e.g. an article with no image will be displayed in a far less attention-grabbing way). The second image of this three-paragraph article is a shot of logo on Twitter's headquarters from April.
The leaked termination notices are indicating that the fired employees will get post termination pay. See, for example, https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1588586560986882048/photo...
I doubt it's an AI-generated caption. More likely it's just a file photo that nobody wrote a new caption for when preparing this particular article.

As a Delaware CEO, there is more than this. It depends on if the company is private or public. There is a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. Both of them have specific obligations, including hire/fire the CEO, sales, resourcing (e.g. financial plan approval), compliance, a neutral voice on comp and other stuff.
I mean, you can't really think about this in a useful way if you don't first grasp "exaggeration for rhetorical effect." It's so odd that I'd have to preface things I say with that. "The people who own the machinery end up with overwhelming power and the creators get very little." Sigh.

Again, for better or worse --without IP, the primary beneficiaries of "creativity" become the distributors. Opposing this is the whole point of copyright, and thus why it should defended in theory and heavily reformed in practice.
Spotify has been at war with Apple for years. In 2015, Spotify lobbied the US Congress to protect its music business from Apple[0], despite Apple paying musicians three times what Spotify does[1]. Spotify has been clear that they find Apple's 30% cut to be outrageous, and also that they find Apple's reduction to 15% for small developers to be outrageous[2].

Spotify co-founded The Coalition for App Fairness[3] in 2018, a coalition working to generate PR and regulatory support for limiting what features platforms can introduce and how they can monetize (and limit monetization).

So yeah, Spotify is at war with Apple, and has been for a long time. This isn't a new development. And IMO Spotify has a lot of good points and valid complaints, but it's very hard to root for such a skeezy company[4].

I am personally hoping there's a way they can both lose this war.

kinda a missed opportunity they scaled the whole screen down to 280x150. They should have left the cross hair area larger--so like 10x10 around the crosshair unscaled, and instead of doing weird warping geometry, just pass it in as a second 2d image.

I heard of coaching in relation to ADHD over a decade ago, it's not something they invented.

I don't know anything about Shimmer, so I don't know how well they fit the mold, but as I understand ADHD Coaching: The general idea is that the coaches are there to supplement therapy and/or drugs with practical "in the weeds" advice. A Therapist would worry about making you feel better, and might point you in the direction of some resources to learn practical coping skills. A coach is one of the resources to help you learn practical skills.
Yeah absolutely. Supermarkets are huge energy consumers and unless the electricity comes from clean sources it means lots of emissions.
Yeah, you can definitely fix it yourself. I really appreciated having professional input to make sure I wasn't going to hurt myself more. How did you figure out what to do?

Exactly. Trees die. Animals die. People die. Why shouldn't an old company, too?

Or split off something that's eventually bigger than the parent. I explore that in the "What PARC Actually Did Later" section of this:

Not really. There are enough Privacy and Security best practices that would tell you that disgruntled employees are the most dangerous threat to a digital infra.

He’s actually complying with the spirit of the law while also doing what I’d prefer he did given the amount of user data that Twitter holds.

No employee with a 60-day payoff is going to win in court when the hourly rate of these people has approached infinity
Technically, it didn't remotely uninstall it by itself, but it did pop up a box on everyone's devices that said "Your device is at risk" because it's a "harmful app", with only an Uninstall button and no visible cancel button.
One of the C-level guys at my current company should have been replaced a while ago. He ruins everything he touches but he's also one of the founders.

There are virtually no processes for anything which makes him untouchable. Whenever he fucks up, some PM or low level manager is fired due to their "low performance".

Is there anything non C-levels can do about it? Honestly I don't think so, all you can do is avoid the guy as much as possible and assume it's not the kind of company where you want to spend 5+ years.
> I think it makes more sense to put the heat pump between the "battery" and the building it's heating, so you draw less heat from the battery to supply a large amount of heat to the building.

That’s not how heat pumps work. They move heat from one medium to another - so using a heat pump to move one Joule from the battery to the house will lower the amount of heat in the batter by one Joule, same as if you use any other means.

The efficiency gain that heat pumps provide when heating houses is that they essentially cool some medium (air, ground, water…) outside the building and move the heat into the building. Moving the heat uses less electricity than turning the electricity into heat via a resistive heating element. The outside medium gets warmed up by sun, or retains heat from a warmer season.
Switch to Pair - https://www.pair.com/ - they are older than Linode and have a great reputation. (PS: However, I am not sure if they have been acquired by another company now. The "old" Pair had a sterling reputation, and I can vouch for that as a former customer.)
I have experience in this exact space and a wealth of connections in my city....

Big no from me. Even with a 3/4 split i wouldnt feel comfortable w the whole arrangement.

Who would want to risk their professional reputation while doing all the legwork just to be treated like a cheap affiliate reseller?

If you want someone to really invest themselves in the future of your organization you need to first invest in their future.

Good people would be invested in the companies they sell to and imo you dont get access to peoples' friends, families, and professional acqaintances without health insurance.

There are a lot of similar agencies in the states here with a local focus w a strong emphasis on compliance and regulation that recieve support from the same institutions that govern then.

Until you have connections w the people that decide which companies get to keep their lights on you are just selling a very temporary tool - something that grabs peoples attention and provides immediate fixes for sure but ultimately something that will only exist to magnify friction
I strongly recommend reading "I fought the PayPal and I won", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33462658. If you feel you're in the right, you should study the eBay user agreements, figure out your options, and exercise them.
I wonder what the threshold is for a niche solution.

You don't want to be, like, the only person with a sand-heat-battery. Well, you might, as an individual, if you like to tinker, but as a municipality it's a pain. All of your problems are unique, you can't just hire a repairman to come in and swap out a standard part for another, you don't have a standard payscale for your Sand Management Technician, etc etc.

How many installations do you need before it becomes a good idea? 1% of the total? 50 total in a service area?
It clearly was. It was a high performing organisation with few peers in corporate history. Apple under Jobs was perhaps one of the biggest value creating organisations in our recent memory, if not the most value creating organisation in the last 20/30 years. So whatever he did, it worked brilliantly.

The only analogue we have now is SpaceX imo. Tesla, if they crack self driving, maybe.
It is, but that code wasn't added for the craic and does solve real use-cases that you can't just ignore for a full-featured drop-in s/sudo/.../-type replacement.

(also, 150k lines of code is a little bit misleading, since not all code is for all platforms, sudo has a plugin architecture I believe, etc.)
There's a difference between "we're doing a bad job but we're trying to moderate content" & "we've cut back on even trying and some of the advertiser unfriendly content is coming from the CEO"
I think Apple is excluded when Jobs was there, as an innovative company. The iPhone, iMac, Macintosh, etc. Along with that, theres exceptions to every rule.
Why does it matter how vital the info it is? You "oh, please" people love to split hairs until you miss the overarching point.
> Markdown can simply be code - the fenced code blocks are quite enjoyable to work with.

Hmm, if a Markdown file can have code interspersed, then can't a code file have Markdown interspersed, and the two interpretations of the file could in some sense be symmetric - and equally valid ?

Obv such "interspersions" exist in certain implementations, but I don't think such symmetries do, nor is there anything like a "standard" for it.

Literate programming using Markdown - who'da thunk it ?

Someone pls correct me if I'm OTL.
> If I'm notified that I'm going to be fired in 4 months, why would I bother showing up to work those 4 months? You may as well fire me now and pay me the 4 months' salary.

Are companies obligated to pay out 4 months' salary if they fire someone?
I would much rather deal with a human-scale firm than a giant one. That alone would get me to switch, even at greater cost.
Imagine an asteroid made of ice. detonate a nuke near its surface. Super heated steam will eject from the surface at high speeds. Momentum conserved, and energy from the nuke absorbed by the water and turned into kinetic energy.
Seems to me that they think the stock isn't falling fast enough and figure they can fall faster if they pull an Axie Infinity.
I've only seen a CEO let go once in my career. And it wasn't due to performance, it was due to an alleged sexual assault which quietly and quickly disappeared.

I imagine with the various golden parachute clauses and valuable social connections with other companies (I'd wager there's some skeletons in closets being held hostage too), it's too damned expensive to let a CEO go for anything less than a scandal.
I'd been exploring a similar project a few years ago, and ended up making a map that showed the location of buses along the routes I tended to take. I was pretty happy with it...except for the fact that it was built for the town (Duluth, MN) I went to school in, and I didn't get it finished until finals week of my last semester, and I left town immediately after!

Show HN: Track Awesome List – Get Awesome List Updates Daily
I find myself often wanting to know the recent updates of some awesome list such as awesome-selfhosted [0], so I developed this tool to track the updates of more than 600 awesome lists and provide RSS feeds. The code is also open source [1], I hope this small tool can help you.

I'm well aware of the law, it has been posted everywhere. However, the article questions itself, because it doesn't say how many have actually been laid off, when that date is effective or if they will just get their pay for 60 days; so he might not even be in violation. I don't think Elon is just doing this all solo, he probably has a legal department and also has advice from one of his co-investors which is still Jack Dorsey.

All of which kind of supports my point of the media doing a bit of a hitjob. They did the same during the Cambridge Analytica scandal and a huge portion of the reporting came out to later be mostly not true. The irony is that the media may be doing exactly what they want Twitter to crack down on.
Current polymail is expensive, the $13/month plan for 2 accounts is a joke.

With the $30/month plan, it's as expensive as superhuman, so unless you're going the enterprise way, forget it. I mean, most developer tools cost less than that.

And this is coming from someone who is begging to pay someone to just provide me an email client/service that:

1. Supports IMAP/Gmail/Etc

2. Has a clean UI (Features should be configs, not UI clutter, newton mail is a perfect example, I paid for it through all their comebacks and finally gave up when I noticed they gave up)

3. Supports common shortcuts (Gmail set the standard, so let me hit C to compose)

4. Do not add their branded weirdness (In Outlook CMD+R is reply, not refresh)

5. Give me privacy. My email is private, not for you to scan and sell my data and hide it somewhere in the TOS that you care for my privacy but might blah blah 3rd parties. No, leave it alone, there is business info in there, there is sensitive personal info in there period. Looking at you Spike and Edison mail.

6. Be fast: I want to open it quickly, get through my email quickly and quit quickly (Spark mail wants to sync my email when I hit CMD+Q, I dropped it)

7. Provide a seamless experience across desktop and mobile. I should not have to login to all my email accounts again on other devices. I know this means server, but as long as you guarantee point 5, I'm ok.

If this is just a client, $30 is too expensive. It has too many features that I'm not sure regular people really use/need. All the collaboration, calendar and integration features could be gone from the $13 plan, and limit to 5 accounts.

If you provide other services, like Proton does, I'd likely agree. Only reason I am not using Protonmail is it does not support other accounts, IMAP, etc.
> All I want it to do is: ensure authorization, raise privileges, call exec.

And have an audit log? And clean the environment? In particular the path? Dynamic library path?

Still, I suspect "ensure autz" is the problem (implies Pam, 2fa, kerberos, etc etc).
I've done a lot of research and testing with Markdown, Asciidoc, and reStructuredText to see which would work best for my company's documentation needs. We ended up going with Asciidoc and Antora for the following reasons.

Asciidoc:

* Almost as simple as Markdown.

* Less convoluted than reStructuredText.

* Excellent support for complex tables, captions, callouts, etc.

* We prefer Asciidocs table structure to Markdown's since it is easier to create and maintain.

* Excellent documentation.

Antora:

* Comes with a default template, which makes building prototypes easier.

* Ability to pull from multiple git repositories.

* Native Asciidoc support.

* Fast compile times.

* Good documentation.

Based on our research, I even migrated my personal 11ty sites from Markdown to Asciidoc and have been quite happy with it.
The anger at Elon et al is understandable -- but I hope they can spare some anger for the years of stagnation (if not outright neglect) wrought by the former operators that led up to this moment.
I think half of the ads and more exposure of your tweets.
Congrats on the launch. I'm excited to try this out.

Some questions:

1. Is it possible to include headers at the workflow-level. I can't determine whether this is possible from reading the docs. Use case: include Authorization header for all tests/steps

2. Is it possible to run some command or query before a workflow/test/step. Use case: obtaining auth tokens
I think a lot of these companies make two mistakes. They allow rogue employees to have too much power in banning users, and their knee-jerk reaction to an account that gets too many “reporters” is to suspend it.

So a bunch of Tumbler users who get mad at someone can report en masse a Twitter user, or an Etsy employee who gets his feelings hurts can click on a button and get an account blocked. The C staff and legal have no idea this is going on.
