I see it more as what's possible when you have complete control of the hardware and software stack. I'll never happily enter Apple's walled garden again but I do see the allure. You get a lot when you trade away your freedom with Apple.

There's nothing magical about startup founders, nor anything to suggest they're any better about figuring out the right number of hours to work than the rest of the world.

Nor are their incentives necessarily aligned properly - if you assume a startup founder is trying to start a business that will make them wealthy, then they may be operating under the assumption that more hours now == fewer later. So a founder may happily push themselves to pull 80 hour weeks thinking that a few years of that pace will pay off so they can coast later.

Most startups fail, and I'd imagine most founders ultimately wind up working for other people. So they'll never get back that additional time + they'll have to keep putting in hours on someone else's behalf.

Coinbase went through hell because their product is worse than offshore exchanges. Less tokens available, much higher fees, no leverage. Why would any serious trader use coinbase when the alternatives exist? On top of that their expenses are far higher than their competitors, it's easy to see that the politics thing was the least of their issues.
because you may expose your ip to unintended peers. Not all people use VPNs.

If you are downloading from browser, you generally use server ip, so you don't expose your ip to peers. You only expose your ip to server.

4DWW - Four Day Work Week is the future. So many benefits for workers and the company! It's a win-win for many types of companies. Even if it's not a win for all companies, society would benefit greatly by mandating 4 days of 8 hours with no loss of pay as the standard.

If I buckle down I can do 10 hours a day 3 days a week for a few months, then I burn out four a while. If I do 4 to 6 hours a day of low to medium intensity work (focused debugging with interspersed Google searches and occasional HN breaks) 4 days a week, I’m able to keep it up forever. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do 9-5x5 ever again, especially having to go into an office.
Emotions aren't clear either, but there are certain societal expectations to read and respond to them appropriately.

I have a broken nose and cracked ribs to show for years of snowboarding.

Scars from wounds and stitches from years of MTB.

Nothing but a bit of bruising from the OW.

It probably helps that I’m middle aged, story would probably be very different if so had one in my teens or twenties.

Nothing I’ve possessed before the OW has instilled the kind of giddy joy reminiscent of being ten years old that it brings. It’s insanely fun and delightful!

That said, yes, half the posts on the OW sub and discord are people showing off injuries. The other half are older people admonishing everyone to pad up. I wear knees, elbows, wrists, and padded shorts, typically long clothes, either a skating helmet or full face depending on my plans. I practice running out, falling, hopping obstacles on the OW. Practice means pain, so it’s hard to convince yourself to do it, but it’s totally worth it. I’ve done some impressive subconscious recoveries.

What everyone is saying here about shifting weight with hips rather than upper body, learning how to grind the nose and tail, keeping feet oriented to run, are all parts of good riding technique.

There definitely is a learning curve to riding safely. I don’t think that warrants a recall though, or threats of one. Would have preferred the agency to voice it differently - warning about risks of injury to beginners - rather than the fear-mongering about phantom death traps.

>...it breaks two finger swipe back on Mac.

2-finger swipe as in swiping left or right to navigate forward and back? Isn't that a hardware or OS function so it can be differentiated from opening/closing the notification center?

Or are browsers really monitoring for scroll left/scroll right inputs to infer two finger swipe?

Good advice is in short supply because most of the market reoriented in favor of SaaS and subscription pricing (buoyed by lofty market valuations and predictable revenue streams)

Perpetual licensing + paid support and maintenance contract balances the core goal.

That said, sometimes software is just "done". The classic unix utilities like `cat` don't need monthly releases. If you can reach that stage, there should be no need to ship new developments regularly and focus should shift to ensuring it keeps running ("maintenance mode")
This is the case for several laptops and computer displays I can tell from experience, even those from large brands (looking at you Dell).
If you are buying government bonds, it means you are really risk averse. Cash is probably a better option to you.
To me the biggest red flag is the comment about a "run on the bank." He was never running a bank, but an exchange, and seems unaware of this! He had no right to do anything but store the exact amount of each transaction, in the exact quantity and form it was made in.

Banks are insured against runs, that's kind of the definition and point of a bank in modern times.

Also, this supposed "theft" by an "ex employee" is obvious bullshit also. No way they made it possible for even the most compromised ex employee to keep the crypto keys, and if they had, they would have taken the money before FTX crashed. He's not dumb enough to believe that story, so the only possible explanation is that the thief is SBF himself.
I don't think you understood my comment.
Why in the world if you care about battery life do you put a 12th gen Intel H-series CPU in your laptop, and not a 5th or 6th gen AMD CPU?

My Lenovo gaming laptop gets 5-6 hours with a 4th gen AMD H-series on a 60Wh battery.
From my point of view the "jetbrains" licence model is one of the best:

- You can purchase their software with a single annual fee or 12 monthly fees

- If you purchase with an annual fee you can use the last updated purchased version forever.
Also, if you pay for 12 month continuously you have the same advantages

- If you purchase the same software for 2 sequential years you will receive an automatic discount and at the end of the third year you will obtain a fixed discounted price (if I remember correctly around 20% forever)

Also they have a lot of bundles but this is valid only if you have a lot of software that are not necessarily usefull for all users but that can be usefull for some specific categories of useres.
In countries with stronger labor protections, or in unionized workplaces, when layoffs are obviously on the horizon, they're often preceded by a round of voluntary layoffs, where people are actively told to ask if the want to be layed off. There are many reasons why someone might choose severance and certainty in that situation
> I envy anyone who can just focus on the problem and remove all surrounding context. Still trying to figure out how I can add stress distractions while timing myself.

This is indeed a good thing to be able to do. I'm pretty good at it, but when I'm in an interview situation, I almost always have at least one moment where I start to panic a little and have to tell myself, "you know what you're doing, just relax and turn the crank." And of course, there's an implied "...but maybe you'll just choke," which I have to put out of my mind.

In other words, a huge part of being able to focus on the problem and remove the surrounding context is a sort of confidence that I can probably do fine, so I can temporarily stop worrying about how I'm looking at any exact moment.
This article makes a big mistake. It assumes copyright infringement is extremely bad and would never be worth doing. In practice when have people been sued over misusing open source software? You most likely won't be caught. And even if you are you can rewrite the code / give attribution then. Even if you do end up having to pay damages, the productivity increase for your company using copilot may be worth the damages.

Why is Apple cramming advertising into every first party application they have when they are insanely profitable? They'll drop Rosetta 2 as soon as they are off Intel to not have to pay for staff to maintain it.

We need more computational biologists solving protein folding problems or the like to cure humanity’s greatest ills. NOT a todo app with a new sticker on it.
Why would anyone, these days, need a discrete GPU for surfing the web? This detail, too, just like the CPU, falls short on the fact that making actual use of its power cuts battery time down to nothing. They should just market it for what it really is: a workstation laptop with 3 hours of battery life.
The first heater that mines Bitcoin
Because NVidia works in Linux. Intel isn't really accelerated, and AMD is buggy and doesn't do GPU compute acceleration terribly well.
Back in the golden age of working from home, when internet service wasn't sufficient for for the barrage of pointless meetings, I was working no more than two hours per day. My coworkers and employers, who all worked in the office at the time, used to joke that I must be an entire team of people.

I still only get time for no more than two hours of actual work each day, but now that so many think they should expand to consume all the capabilities of the modern network by having endless meetings for no good reason, I'm much more exhausted when it comes to getting anything done during these two hours and productivity suffers as a result.

It is devastating how much less productive I've become spending more time working. I want to get things done.
> Incentives are 100% aligned in how they benefit from their work.

Exactly. The reason the rank and file don't put that kind of time is they aren't given nearly as generous terms.

This isn't really a discussion of what people can do, people can do much more than they are in general, but instead the problem is how much of the fruits of the effort is willing to be shared.
You need what's called "solid compression", meaning that the files are concatenated together before compression. Because otherwise compression restarts from zero for each new file - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_compression

Some compressors have options for solid compression, or you can use tar to first concatenate the files. For both, you need to sort the files first, so that they are compressed in chronological order, otherwise the common information will drop out of the dictionary.

And how big is one file and how much RAM you have? Because you might need increasing the "dictionary size" of the compression algorithm, both 7zip and zstd support multi-gigabyte sizes.
Your forgot the TL;DR addendum.

I heard this in school, but it felt like post-Cold war propaganda. Is this considered a true rendition of events? By all accounts, both sides just kept ramping up spending, it was just that Russia's line of credit ended sooner.
Why do you run Linux on Alienware hardware?
The skill we desperately need to teach to the public is prioritization. It only takes 3 steps:

1. Identify what measurable effect you want to achieve (e.g. reduce emissions by X% within Y years).

2. Look for multiple ways to do it.

3. Pick the combination with the best cost/effect ratio.

Until this is taught in schools on par with math or basic history, we are extremely prone to manipulation. Whoever owns the media will cover one solution that benefits them, declare it as a religious virtue and fill their pockets off pushing the crowd to adopt it. If may never solve the actual problem, but the public lacking those skills will never notice and will never question the narrative.
The Web Extension API is required if you want to download resources blocked via the "Same-origin policy", see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-o.... This is the main problem and it is quite common. This could be circumvented by using a proxy, but this would introduce security issues.
Ugh.

I haven't bothered to search yet, but I wonder if there's a browser extension that can completely disable the browser APIs for monitoring scroll position. If websites were simply unable to hijack my scrollbar, the web would be a better place.
Show HN: I'm building the Costco for apparel
Hey there, I’m building blnkfabrics.com

Think of it as a Costco for apparel, pay a yearly membership and get the best prices on high quality clothes with no weird logos or designs. The apparel is typically sold at cost+10%(to cover handling and logistics)

Site is almost finished, technically is fully operational meaning you can buy the membership right now and the orders will fulfill, but need to fix some factors(landing page, copy, favicon, etc.)

Also make sure to check the FAQ page, will answer most questions. If there are other questions you think I should answer let me know

Would love any feedback, be honest! Thanks.
Perhaps you feel like you're chained in when you're working for an employer - I feel like it's a gilded cage. Yes, there's healthcare benefits, dental cover, bonus if I'm lucky, that kind of thing but at the end of the day I'm owned. My time is owned, my attention is owned and although I can pull the red cord and quit it's essentially bondage. Quitting becomes harder to do when you have a mortgage and kids, too. So you put up with it, and make yourself miserable, or put up with the misery.

But start working for yourself and all that goes away. You have CONTROL back - you dictate what you do, i.e. what you find interesting. Of course, the difficulty is making enough money to live, and finding that balance. I can't make money from side projects, I'm not that talented, but I can make money picking and choosing the projects that suit my interests and contracting is a happy medium.
You know I hear this repeated about how people who did substance farming supposedly did less but that just doesn't seem to square with my experiences. Two examples I'll cite are the first is the experience recorded by my great great grandfather, he grew up on a farm in central Utah and when he was 14 years old his dad told him to take the sheep and go up into the mountains and don't come back until it snowed. I guess you could count it different but I think we'd be hard pressed to say that wasn't full time 24/7 work for 3 straight months, then when he got home he would have to work the harvest, repair the fences, etc.

Another more modern example is the Amish, I don't know if you've had a lot of experience with the Amish but they know how to work, they start before sunup and push through to sundown, taking a short break for lunch and then back at it for hours on end, I definitely wouldn't say they average 20 hours a week over the year.

I just see this claim repeated over and over and it feels like it doesn't make sense and is pushed more because those repeating it like it than any substantial basis in reality.
I heard Elon does 120 hours a week. /s

I haven't seen anyone doing 40 hours a week. At least not more than a week.
yeah it was unnecessary hyperbole, I didn't do a great job expressing my point. thanks for the feedback.
It's definitely not like North Korea or anything crazy like that, but there is DEFINITELY a chilling effect on public discourse because even highly credentialed people get their lives destroyed if they make too much noise against the current narrative. Most people are blissfully unaware of this because they never heard from the censored people to begin with.
My MIL died unexpectedly some years ago. We all came home from the hospital that afternoon and were just sitting around. The doorbell rang; my wife saw through the window that it was one of her longtime friends. My wife answered the door; the friend handed her a casserole and said how sorry she was, then immediately left.

Also what's missing in this article is a relative comparison. What if the testing machines have some kind of cron or process that's messing up the microbenchmark? I didn't see that comparison here.
Is that an argument against voluntary euthanasia though?

My parents have both told me they would sooner die than go to a nursing home. Knowing them, I believe both that they mean it and that they would be utterly miserable in a nursing home. Obviously I would be distraught if it came to that, but how selfish would I have to be to tell them "no, you must go to this place that you'll hate because of the impact it will have on me if you die"?

I certainly think there should be controls. A waiting period, mandatory psych checkup to validate rationality and sound mind. If those (quite low) bars are cleared though, I don't see any reason that people shouldn't be able to choose to die.

To your second point, doctors don't necessarily need to be the vendors of legalised euthanasia.

A rheumatologist friend of mine once expressed that he is generally supportive of the idea of voluntary euthanasia, but believes this should involve creating some kind of "assisted dying professional" role. Asking doctors to euthanize people creates (as he put it) a kind of conflict of interest; the person who is there to help you live should not be the same person who can, if you choose, help you die.
I enjoyed the post, thanks.

I agree with your boarder point that culture is what matters most.

However, you say a society where individuals choose to donate is not effective. (I would call this culture, and culturally driven progress).

You contrast it with a society where there is a general goal, and then claim taxes are the best way to achieve this. ( I would call this collectivism and government)

What reason do you have to think that centralized decision making and giving is more efficient than decentralized decision making and giving is.

I don't follow the distinction you are trying to draw. Why is one option culture focused and the other not?

My position is that the voluntary decentralized option is culture driven, and the compulsory option is not.

It isn't necessarily that Sequoia (or any of the other VCs) had dirty money to launder. It could have also been that they wanted to use clean money for unclean purposes.
