I have a met no small number of people who drive for Uber essentially for fun. They don’t need the money, they drive because it gives them something to do when they are retired, when their spouse travels, to buy some latest gear for a hobby, etc. The extra money might be nice but the motivation isn’t existential.

> rather, you just support the political views social media is instilling.

People being able to see ideas outside of what their parents and communities see, particularly with respect to human rights (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33924352)?

I suppose I do agree with that.

To be clear - facebook? Trash. Twitter? Trash. Instagram? Trash.

But it is important for people to learn that things they've been told their whole life are not necessarily true, and social media is sometimes the only way for that to happen.
Isn't the more common word "starter"?
Great work!

Their Scientific Significance Is Hard to Overstate
Wow, great scientific research here! More like = low pay for low skill workers linked to lifestyle problems, including health outcomes. The same could be said about any hard labor.

I found this strange:

"Sayre conducted a final online survey with 252 higher-income employees in finance, marketing and sales who relied on commissions or bonuses for a smaller fraction of their income. The workers completed monthly surveys for three months, and pay volatility was less harmful to health when they were less reliant on commissions or bonuses."

Whats this getting at? Ending incentive pay? This rhetoric is tied to 'pay transparency'. Aka, everyone must be paid the same if they have the same title/job. A workers rights issues, but really an employers wet dream.
My understanding is that they did this. It just happens that they are basically outlawing large parts of FB business model.

This appears to be deliberate and I am happy about it.

Any internet-related law actually increasing privacy and harming tracking/spying/personal data gathering was going to harm FB. If it would not, then it would mean that it is toothless and useless.
The way it should work is that when loading a file,
your editor formats the code the way you feel most
comfortable working with it.

This doesn't seem practical if you have to reconcile external sources of information with the file - for instance, if you're looking at line numbers in a stack trace from production.

i think in longer terms. step one is what you mentioned. that's what people thought when computers came along and they said it will probably only be used to assist some scientists with complex calculus.

step two is to automate the business analyst then the architect.

step three might be to directly render whatever requirements the customer or enduser gives the LLM. and i bet this comes in under 10 years. Basically what StableDiffusion does right now. No Graphic designer needed.

And imagine what will happen, if you allow an LLM 10 years in the future to improve it's own architecture and training data.

And now imagine if you allow that thing to control chip factories and assembly lines to improve it's hardware...

I would highly recommend looking at Cortex (or Grafana Labs' fork, Mimir) instead of Thanos.

It doesn't rely on reading the Prometheus WAL (rather, it uses Prometheus's built-in remote-write functionality). This is both less fragile and has the benefit of being about to run Prometheus in stateless mode (or replace it entirely with something like Grafana Agent, vmagent, etc.

Grafana Labs has done a proof of concept showing Mimir scaling to 1 billion active timeseries. There are also "real" users serving 700+ million metrics in production.
I have an SMSL Amp/DAC combo and a pair of Kef Q150s that I love. It's perfect for filling an office with sound, and the speakers sound amazing! Definitely a bit more pricey, but well worth it. I highly recommend the SMSL AS300 though. It's a DAC/Amp combo with Bluetooth, so it covers all of the different inputs you might want.
I would also highly recommend also looking for speakers on Craigslist as well. You can find a lot of really nice speakers at amazing prices if you are vigilant at looking, especially in larger metro areas.
> No doubt there are some specific people who will have difficulties obtaining identification for no justifiable reason. Such barriers to access should be rectified.

They should be, yet somehow that is never part of the plan in bills that require these IDs. And isn't it curious that the areas where these difficulties are found are almost always correlated with minority demographics? Weird.

Seems to me your first problem was trying to use a service like Nopecha in the first place. That immediately strikes me as a great way to get banned from whatever service you were planning on using it on. The fact that GitHub banned your account for Nopecha's actions is just a sideshow to that fact, in my opinion.
A friend told me how their Adobe licenses got revoked, but the company just imaged the working version and disabled Internet access for anything Adobe related - it works, but it also means no AI tools or further updates for now. I doubt there will be straight out pirated versions of most products, especially because of the rootkits floating around.

Office 365 cancellations are another story. Lots of movement to onprem or relocations of IT abroad are in progress right now. Yandex for example is moving part of it’s operations to Israel.

No, I distinctly don't want borg. It doesn't help or solve anything that Syncthing doesn't do. The obsession with borg and bup are pretty baffling to me. We deserve better in this space. (see: Asuran and another who's name I forget...)

Critically, I'm specifically referring to code sync that needs to operate at a git-level to get the huge efficiencies I'm thinking of.

Syncthing, or borg, scanning 8 copies of the Linux kernel is pretty horrific compared to something doing a "git commit && git push" and "git pull --rebase" in the background (over-simplifying the shadow-branch process here for brevity.)

re: 'we deserve better' -- case in point, see Asuran - there's no real reason that sync and backup have to be distinctly different tools. Given chunking and dedupe and append-logs, we really, really deserve better in this tooling space.
I recommend Backuppc for these requirements. Pooling, no sw install required, uses rsync and dedupes across clients and uses client side hashing to avoid sending files already in the pool.

One thing I could not find, skimming the docs, was where the CSS lives. Could I place my own existing css stylesheet(s) in the project? Would the snake_case equivalents just fall through to the underlying CSS, or would I need to write a CSS dictionary as a translation layer?

Software development methodologies exist on several fault lines:

Software development isn't like most orgs, where the boss can do the job of their underling (even in most engineering disciplines this isn't true). This disrupts the normal MBA expectation of power dynamic and replaceability.

The power dynamic disruption is due to a communication barrier. It is probably mathematically impossible to encode all the issues and complexities in whatever IT system smorgasborg some IT person's day to day exists at to a box-and-arrows spreadsheet manager.

I almost suspect this is like many theory of computation proofs where complexity is either extremely high even in seemingly trivial circumstances, or exists in mathematical impossibility.

Anyway, that means the methodology exists not only at a push-and-pull fault line of power and control, it exists at a communication barrier that is fundamentally impossible to overcome.

The power dynamic disruption is such that: who manages the company, the managers, or the automated IT systems that do 90% of the management work, silently and in ways the human managers can't even fathom? Yet every modern company will only survive in the markets, even with cartel/monopoly advantages, with extensive IT systems automation. Even if they maintain position, the profit demands from shareholders will doom a management group if they can't implement IT.

But of course MBAs and management schools still don't get this. Accounting is needed by all MBAs, but IT is for "MIS people", it's for grunt work / low level MBAs.

Now add this power dynamic to heavy demand for labor, and a hatred of MBAs to pay labor good wages, possibly more than THEY make. They won't pay Developers per the real power dynamic. So:

- there's always turnover, since Devs make money by job hopping, the MBAs won't give massive amounts of money to a Dev except in rare places like Silicon Valley

- or they outsource, and there's a 12 hour delay and a language barrier on top of the normal communication barrier

So aside from the Mangement<->Labor comm barrier, there is either a System Documentation comm shortfall, so labor turnover / outsourcing destroys that, which eventually undermines productivity of a project long term, so the methodology, which is SUPPOSED to protect that long term, but has no provisions to do so, fails.

ANother dynamic is that the methodology doesn't really address disagreement. Methodologies can only address devleopment where people agree, but if there are technical, approach, economic/scope, requirements, or other differences in opinions between different groups that paralyze things, and the Management (because of the comm barrier) cannot decide or even realize they need to decide, things drag. The "methodology" fails, but software development methodologies don't have dispute resolution in them.

OSS relies on mixing in the kernel, which is bad for reasons explained here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ...

Also with OSS you still can't seamlessly switch between devices, bluetooth or arbitrary signal routing between apps. So, no... good riddance.
Such barriers should be rectified before making ID mandatory. If the response to that is "well then we'll never be able to implement this!" then one should have a period of deep reflection on why that is and its implications.

When it comes to creating systems whose consequences infringe on rights things like "the vast majority" aren't valid escape hatches. This is doubly true when the folks making the rules have political motivation for disenfranchising the very same group who doesn't have IDs in this case. In fact, when such discrepancies are pointed out and then are instituted anyways, such biases functionally become the point of the institution and increases culpability rather than decreases it.
If you have gone to the effort of your home ownership being anonymous you know how to contact google via a lawyer / agent and have it done. Otherwise you owning the property is already a public record.
I don't get your point. There will obviously be cased where API's are not needed or too complicated to maintain, which was presumably the case with Firefox, which BTW is a locally installed platform. I don't see how this affect the general discussion regarding (mostly) web platforms - which usually run on a client-server model anyway - maximizing their API footprint to expose the most functionality possible via their API.

Just because you or anyone working there doesn't see a useful use case for using that functionality over the API doesn't mean there won't be someone who will come up with something useful based on that in the future.
Dumb. The fact that the military are forced to be vaccinated against dozens of other things but not COVID now (for no other reason than to appease the fringe right wing) just highlights a potential weakness in our military's preparedness against any threat.

The fact that we give any credence to these moronic "conservatives" is mind-blowing.

Wrote a book, published nine years ago.

I earned back my advance after about five years and have been receiving royalty checks ever since.

This year, it surpassed 100,000 copies sold.

Just a little note for other would-be authors ... it's never been easier to self-publish -- but getting a book deal with a traditional publisher still has substantial upsides, particularly on the distribution side. There are exceptions (e.g. if you expect digital versions to constitute the vast majority of sales). But by and large, you're better off getting a book deal if you can.
And people wonder why formal, elegant and verbose language died off… that was a deliberate hard read.

that is pretty scary.

Uber Sues NYC Taxi Commission to Block Rate Hike for Drivers
If you want to make a living with Free Software, and the software is primarily used by businesses, take a very close look at Red Hat's business model. They nailed it perfectly. They don't dual license their software, it's all Free Software. They don't ask for donations. They sell a package of software and support that is almost identical to what you get from commercial business software. The only difference is the software just happens to be Free (That's why CentOS was able to exist, they didn't violate any of Red Hat's copyrights).

I wish more open source developers understood this. Corporations love the business model and Red Hat makes tons of money, they turn around and add to and create more and more Free Software, and those of us that are not corporations with deep pockets can still use and benefit from the software.

That "He learned to love RPi while using it to build surveillance tools" doesn't go over well with a good chunk of a technical audience as the "origin story" is really not surprising? The first few responses were criticizing just that - and then they blew it up by being pissy about that and blocking people saying that. (There also seems to be some UK-specific hangups around misbehavior of surveillance cops, but my general impression is that most people who think they are handling this incredibly badly don't really mind that they hired the guy, but rather how they presented it and especially the follow-up responses to mild criticism. Even just ignoring them would've been loads better than what they did)
