At work I am limited to using HP but I have to say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by the HP EliteBook 845 G7 (Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U). When I bought it new in 2020 it had initially sleeping problems but later kernels improved the situation. Other driver problems where with the finger print reader (easily fixed with LVFS firmware upgrade) and the Intel WWAN card (that still doesn't work due to a bug). The display with privacy filter works but generally, when privacy mode is off, the screen viewing angles are terrible (I will not buy a build-in privacy filter on future models).

Personally I would recommend laptops from shops that give you a Linux option right from the start. From the big manufacturers I could see that this is the case for the Dell XPS and Precision 7670, while Lenovo offers it on various Thinkpad models. I could not find that for any of the HP models (except Dev One).

Although I have not used them, I am not a big fan of the Clevo based machines that System76 and Tuxedo have. I think the Librem and Framework machines look nicer (even though I prefer 14+ inch sized machines).

A good resource to check for Linux compatibility of specific components and laptops is https://linux-hardware.org. I whish this resource was used more often by reviewers.

I would also give a laptop bonus points if its firmware is supported by easy upgrades via LVFS https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/.
Correct. Columbus's behavior was de rigueur for X=[those European engaged in exploration, settlement, and the slave trade]. It was also better than the equivalent behavior when X=[non-Europeans engaged in the same]. And the slave trade, conquest, and settlement was de rigueur for X=[civilizations].

Therefore "Columbus was bad" can't be meaningfully correct, unless we're presupposing a moral frame that stands outside of one's time and one's contemporaries -- and if we're doing that, I'll have a lot of other comments.

So what if it “goes against the logic it used previously.”

Humans are biased. Relativity is like that.

You really think Elon Musk and the like are that smart and lucky? That the public is operating under anything resembling informed consent with regard to political policy that gives 10 dollars to one guy who hands us 1 to carve up and share and keeps 9 for himself?

You think people CHOOSE to live in squalor and poverty when relativity means never knowing anything else keeps their agency and inner monologue on the same old path?

This is a very enlightening comment, thank you! Some commentators might take issue with the very last word: 'science'...

Regarding symbology, for both intuitive and mechanistic readings, isn't there a lot that can be interpreted - in many different ways - from even a single symbol, let alone a string of symbols?

Edit: adding this part for anyone who wants to dismiss this as pseudoscience.

Jung devoted much of his life to the study of the 'collective unconscious' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_unconscious) and 'synchronicity' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity).

This intersects with notions about 'manifestation' (in pop-spiritual culture), and also with explorations in well-regarded fiction: Childhood's End, by Arthur C Clarke (the scene with the Ouija board), and His Dark Materials, by Philip Pullman (the alethiometer).

These ideas are very much on the edge of the curve scientifically, but nevertheless, it would be unwise to dismiss them. If someone who believes in the veracity of this took the trouble to write a comment here (and risk annihilation!), then I'd like to hear their point of view...
Another problem with hydroponics is its reliance on industrially-produced fertilizers, chiefly those containing nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium. The phosphate and potassium parts of this equation are today mined from finite mineral deposits. Sooner or later these mines will close, and we'll have to close to the loop on phosphate and potassium (and molybdenum, calcium, etc.) production and consumption.

How will hydroponic farmers adapt? Where will they economically obtain the necessary nutrient solution additives? Are there practical techniques to extract these nutrients from traditional sources, like urine or manure? The aspiring Mars colonist or hydroponic homesteader will need to figure this out, or return to traditional "regenerative" farming practices which compost biological waste and return all used-up nutrients and their constituent elements to the soil.

And for someone like a Moon or Mars colonist, even regenerative farming isn't simple. Composting relies on bacteria to convert waste products like nitrogen-containing urea, whose nitrogen isn't bioavailable to plants, back into useful and bioavailable forms like ammonium. Keeping cultures of bacteria alive and healthy indefinitely will be essential to a colony's continued survival. Are there practical chemical processes to replace the function of these microbes, e.g. to convert urea to ammonia without urease enzymes? I don't know. Maybe someone with more knowledge can comment on this.

I hope this problem can be solved. Hydroponics has many benefits, from dramatically lowered water consumption vs. soil-based agriculture, to higher yields driven by precisely-managed nutrient ratios. Spacefaring farmers will appreciate the weight saved by leaving all that excess water and soil on Earth. It'd be a shame to abandon this technology simply because we couldn't pivot away from fossil fertilizers.

> People who love remote work seem to be senior, well established employees

Being a senior dev also enables you to act almost fully autonomous, making you capable of carrying out a lot of stuff from idea to execution. Its naturally conducive to remote work.

> But remote work was isolating and lonely, mentorship went to zero

That's the one downside of remote work - one has to amp up interactions via online collaboration tools and also non-work social interactions.

> it has caused me a lot of stress realizing that remote work is never going away.

Take heart - you can eventually make remote work work out, or a mixture of hybrid that you prefer. Then the benefits outweigh the disadvantages a lot. Even being able to avoid the commute is a major win.
The downvotes are by new age pseudo-intellectuals that frequent this forum. Congratulations. Medical science says you're not smart.
Funny that, but I’ve worked at many places that definitely didn’t make a profit! And some that definitely did. Taking risk, organizing and figuring out things in a way that is focused and works, and tying the parts together so the sum is greater than the parts is what makes most businesses profitable.

Are some companies run or managed by exploitive assholes? Sure. Are some folks doing labor exploitive assholes? You bet.

But it’s always more fun to tear down those who have what we don’t and blame them for every problem and isn’t it?

The paychecks came regardless, or they learned that labor has its own power too.

Never felt exploited about it either, and moved somewhere else or just took a break and did what I wanted if I started to feel like it might be. We don’t really need all the trappings we often convince ourselves we need, and it’s a lot lighter without them.

And never once starved for it.

But then, I’ve had to dig trenches before and change diapers and didn’t get paid for that, but then family is pretty communist that way. We all have to make our way, one way or another.

You’re welcome to look at life as harsh and nasty as you want, but you reap what you sow. And that outlook is sowing very bitter seeds indeed.
You could probably replace WiFi chip with Intel one and it would have avoided the issue. I did that with a few Lenovo laptops, but you should watch out for their WiFi chips whitelisting, which is a very annoying hidden blocker if you aren't aware of it.

Check their UEFI, I think they started adding an option for Linux there specifically to handle suspend better. Set it to Linux instead of Windows.
> I know I’m like a broken record about it: defamation requires a provably false statement of fact,

This is actually not true in all jurisdictions. In Sweden a statement can be defamatory even if true. A Swedish politician was found guilty of defamation for mentioning on Facebook that the legal counsel of an opposing party in a civil law suite she was involved in had been sentenced for a a child sex crime.

It was factually true but found defamatory because it was deemed irrelevant and harming the reputation of that person. Many, including me, find the Swedish version of defamation strange. Now people on Twitter with opposing political views constantly bring up that she was sentenced for a crime (defamation), which is hypocrisy of tall order.
It is very rare for someone to have a sound argument from first principles as to why inequality is worse than equality for society as a whole. The majority don't get past "well, it's wrong because people kept saying so since I was young, duh!" to consider the pros and cons of inequality as opposed to equality (either as abstract ideals, or actualized realities) for society as whole.

This is getting transpiled to SQL, right? So I still have to understand how the (now generated) SQL will perform on my data and DBMS, plus I got to learn this new syntax. This will be a hard sell.
SV and many HN readers have lived in a golden age of entrepeneurship, when people widely believed in optimism, innovation, change, and our ability to improve our world and solve any problem; that it could be done by one person in a garage or anyone in the company; and a belief in merit above all, which requires a belief in truth.

Now the socio-political trend is extremely in the other direction: Disparage, shame, and ridicule any intent to improve the world and any interest or intent in innovation; that competition for survival, rather than improving our world, is the only purpose; that only corporations and wealthy people can accomplish anything; that only 'bosses' have worthwhile ideas; and fetishizing power, corruption, and 'post-truth', and exercising that for profit rather than merit.

We were right the first time - you can see all that was accomplished. Those truths haven't changed. But it's harder going when so many disparage them.
For me the message from this is treat your data like a prince and make your code more complicated if need be to simplify and purify the data structure.

I am sure I have heard strong opinions for the other way around.

Probably like anything it is a tradeoff requiring engineering.

That said I also tend to prefer storing that data in a more normalised format.
> you argument is equivalent to saying we should stick to arranged marriages only because that's how it's always been done and it clearly worked for many cultures.

Arranged marriages are in no way related to deep behavioral traits of mammal evolution.

> at some point you have to realize that you understand infants less than the parents using this method

Anyone who knows any adult who suffered any measure of neglect in childhood would 'know' otherwise. Especially the adults who have been neglected as infants.

I understand your viewpoint and sentiment. But I do reiterate that those do not negate evolution.

I think we discussed enough in this thread. I'll bail out of this discussion now. Thanks.
"Infinity is a transfinite ordinal number" is a lot more definitive of a claim than you can justify making. There are different systems and they use different infinite quantities. Nonstandard analysis doesn't bother with ordinal numbers, but it has plenty of infinite numbers.

"Infinity" without further specification seems more likely to refer to the concept in the extended reals (where there are exactly two infinite numbers) than to refer to the concept of infinite ordinal numbers. The obvious analysis would appear to be that, not being an integer, it cannot be considered either even or odd, but there might be a convention I don't know about.

The best time to pay off most debt is: as soon as possible. The sooner, the easier.

A bad file format, if shipped, will cause decades of debt. Same for critical APIs. Not all debt is this way - you need to identify what debt will multiply and tackle that type of debt ASAP.

Startups iterate fast because they have the least debt. If you want to maintain your edge, you can't let debt grow.

Is the YiKing still something relevant, in the chinese culture, for decision-making [with a bit of randomness included]?
The issue with regulation in this space is that the arguments won't stop, and the free speech angle is the worst thing to address with this. Once we force providers over $x billion in revenue to conform their social media platforms to abide by US free speech standards, do they now have to divert to law enforcement before they can remove anything that might be considered illegal, or at least riot-inciting? Can they no longer ban bots if those bots are ran by a US citizen? Even if you do, and everyone's in agreement, you're effectively sanctioning off the social media sites to only allow posts from US nationals, unless there's some framework for allowing US free speech to proliferate alongside the strict antisemitic hate speech laws of Germany.

The methodology behind this is severely flawed. Nothing can be concluded here.

I wrote a reply to this on Twitter, which was liked by several members of OpenAI’s staff (to the extent that counts as confirmation):

Peer-to-peer is too general and too useful to be spoilt by "blockchain". But there is so much money behind this crap it is a formidable virus that can infect any project.

ConsenSys is a company formed by Ethereum co-founder. He has sold out to the big banks, in the opinion of some Consensys shareholders.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/consensys-shareholders-readyi...

"Falls says he believes both MetaMask and Infura - what he calls "the crown jewels" of ConsenSys - could have been decentralized and tokenized, and that their projected use is "completely anathema" to the peer-to-peer principles of the space.

Meanwhile, a number of teams are looking to bring "institutional DeFi" - with its known counterparties and compliant custody arrangements - to the marketplace.

"Forget about the shareholders for a minute," Falls said. "Think about the consequences of the change in the influence over these infrastructure pieces.""

Out of curiosity I was looking at the evolution of IPFS hashes. They have gotten more complex. IPFS now uses base58btc exclusively. That's "btc" as in Bitcoin. Something like rhash, which has traditionally supported hashes used in peer-to-peer protocols, has no support for base58btc.

People are now trying to associate IPFS with "Web3". For example, check out this paper published a couple of weeks ago.

"Studying the workload of a fully decentralised Web3 system: IPFS"

Why does a congestionless network matter here? Nagle's algorithm aggregates writes together in order to fill up a packet. But you can just do that yourself, and then you're not surprised. I find it very rare that anyone is accidentally sending partially-filled packets; they have some data and they want it to be sent now, and are instead surprised by the fact that it doesn't get sent now because their data doesn't happen to be too large to fit in a single packet. Nobody is reading a file a byte at a time and then passing that 1 byte buffer to Write on a socket. (Except... git-lfs I guess?)

Nagle's algorithm is super weird as it's saying "I'm sure the programmer did this wrong, here, let me fix it." Then the 99.99% of the time when you're not doing it wrong, the latency it introduces is too high for anything realtime. Kind of a weird tradeoff, but I'm sure it made sense to quickly fix broken telnet clients at the time.
When it can't be avoided there were (rare) times that I used #includes to split what would have been one long source file into multiple files. (2k lines is still within my 1 file threshold, but I generally aim for less than 1k lines).

> Is it possible for the magnetic poles to ever exist far from the geographic poles?

The north magnetic pole has been south of 70 degrees as recently as the mid-1800s and the south magnetic pole is currently north of 65 degrees. Every half million years or so the whole thing goes nuts for a while and reverses.
For TLS, you need a roughly correct time; being many minutes off is usually acceptable. No need for GPS clocks and other such stuff.

Ideally your machine should have a functioning battety-backed RTC. The vast majority of larger machines do.

In a data center, DHCP or well-known local addresses should offer hard-to-spoof poiners to local NTP servers for bootstrapping.

I don't see a large problem here; a reasonable startup sequence that makes sure a correct time is set before attempting TLS connections should just work. DNS requiring TLS and thus a correct system time is slightly novel, so approaches ignoring it expectedly fail.

Gas is the source for the hydrogen to be bonded to nitrogen to make ammonia, just now.

There are efforts to shift to hydrogen electrically extracted ("electrolysed") from water, with the electric power obtained from renewables, but it is very early days. If your electrolysers and ammonia synthesis equipment are not too expensive, you can operate just when sun is out or wind blows, and not need to rely on stored or imported energy, or back-up generation. But high capital cost may favor 24/7 operation even at times when power costs more.

The world today produces ammonia in the millions of tons annually, but will produce many times as much when ammonia becomes a favored liquid fuel. It will be synthesized using solar in the tropics, and wind where that is reliable, and exported for backup generation. Nobody will need to store more energy than a week or two's worth, because when you expect to run low you order in.

I took a look at some of the videos on the tik tok.

One video in, I see the a bunch of factual claims about a relationship between the professor and one of the students (which the professor denies) with no reference to them being opinion or even derived from tarot cards (though there are out of cards appearing on a table).

https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyisinthebookoflife/video/717838...

I'm curious if one of the other videos makes the murder claim in a similar manner. If I was on that jury, there's no way this is not a win for the professor unless the defense was able to back up every one of their direct claims.

Edit: More factual claims without any reference to tarot or opinion

https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyisinthebookoflife/video/717841...

Edit again:

A nice short one without even the context or pretense of tarot cards, refers to the professor as "killer"

> As a team…we are definitely not more productive and no one wants to say that uncomfortable part out loud.

Can being in a loud, stacked office in front of computers with a bunch of other people be called 'more productive'?

The only thing that exists in such an environment compared to work from home is the supposedly better communication. But how many times do you communicate with a colleague over the course of a single workday. Nobody wants to be disrupted when they are concentrating. So people already avoid disrupting each other, limiting the interaction during work.

In such an equation, the only thing that is necessary for totally replacing work environment seems to be people getting used to collaborating through chat, voice and videos. That should fix the majority of the issues and only leave the watercooler aspect of the office unaddressed.

Slightly off topic but what hardware do googlers use? I imagine the answer is "it depends" given how wide the remit of their engineering force is but for rank and file is there even choice for picking hardware?
