> yes - because back then, NAT'ing / putting a machine behind a router wasn't commonplace yet.

Back then, even putting the machine behind a firewall (which is what you really meant, since being a router does not necessarily mean it has a firewall enabled) wouldn't have been enough; it was not that uncommon to already have infected machines on the local network (because they had earlier been connected without being behind a firewall).

> Remember that movies are HIGHLY produced works

This is one of the reasons I have respect for those involved in the filmmaking process. It's a LOT of blinkin' work.

We had a videographer come through to do a video on one of our software products. Kind of a "here's how it could be used" type a video.

At one point, I watched him record someone opening a cell phone 10 times in a row. Just a hand, and a cell phone, flipping it open. A cheap shot to be sure, 10 times is no big deal.

But that's get extrapolated to the entire production. The set up, the tear down, the repetition. Consider that, especially on TV, if you see a conversation between two people, cutting back and forth to their faces, odds are that scene was simply shot twice and edited together. You hear stories about how family scenes at a dinner table take all day to shoot because they have a single camera, so they shoot it over and over and over and over again, to capture all of the characters.

Then there's the waiting for the light, and other aspects of filmmaking that we, as consumers, get to take for granted.
Thoughtful post! Everything so true! I am always amazed by individuals who truly are educators of the world.

The Bitwarden tech stack: Built for security and scalability
Many things are grandfathered. But not all.

Sometimes it'll be at home owners discretion. For example, I have a Pushmatic panel. The thing sucks. So even if it's grandfathered when I have other work done, I'm still getting rid of it ASAP.
I have seen lots of near-fires/melted things from under-tightening, but I have never seen a single near-fire from overtightening. I suspect it's a myth - I don't think you could overtighten any connector sufficiently to make it be a fire risk without the screw shearing first.

I'd be interested to see tests demonstrating otherwise though.

Obviously if you are doing it to the standards, you crimp the wire first and use a torque screwdriver to tighten to the exact correct torque.
I remember people loudly exclaiming that people wouldn’t be buying Peletons once people started going back to gyms but the “who could have known?” sentiment appeared anyway after the stock had crashed.
It started as a good idea, balance work/life. Obviously, the middle management class saw it as proof that "kidz these days dont want to work at all" - but eventually realized that it could be abused as either a carrot or stick to abuse their staff with, while themselves taking long holidays when it suits them.

Its basically code for "zero time off" for the little people and multi month holidays for management.

Of course, it doesnt have to be like this, it shouldnt be like this ... but people are going to do what they do best.
Google exposed the wheat from the chaff.

But since then google has fallen way down, and search is back to being awful and full of chaff. Whether that's because we have higher expectations, or because the chaff producers have adapted and google has failed to adapt to their adaptation doesn't change the fact that search is back to being a chore like it was in 1998.
Which country? In the U.S., GFCIs only need to be installed in specific locations, which is good. I do not want my refrigerator or computer on a GFCI.

In the U.K., you just can’t have plugs in bathrooms (aside from the shaver plug), which is probably more sensible.

FAA and most all global air systems and services tend to use their own nomenclature for communicating to pilots -- I would read "equipment failure" as a term that pilots would use and understand as "a temporary or permanent failure of software or hardware in the system" and not read into it any additional common sense from other areas of expertise.
You pay $4 for a Gatorade because of how expensive the labor (store staff) and rent are. San Francisco would be much cheaper if it didn’t cost 5 grand a month to rent a tiny store front.

There is a good chance that if you installed GFCI in some old house it would just... trip due to shitty wiring.

But yeah, the law should probably have exception for installing safety devices, it's better to have some than zero because someone can't afford it.

There's an argument there of course, but after the novelty phase, it's hard for me to imagine that most people won't prefer genuine human channels with an actual human creator's personality shining through. Many of the more loved creators on YouTube have distinct personalities: sometimes an oddball humor, or a sense of weird innocence. Can a machine ever match that, particularly if you're aware it's a machine? Are people going to create subreddits and discords and spend hours/days/weeks creating memes to support a machine like they do because they like PewDiePie as an example?

That said, I'm sure AI content will certainly find some niches.

I could be wrong, but I hope not. If the future of YouTube is bot created videos, it's not something that seems appealing to me in the least.

you’re confusing cause and effect.

tech valuations have come down because the Fed has raised rates which long duration stocks like growths tech cos are extremely sensitive to.

when borrowing money becomes more expensive, these companies can no longer fuel business expansion or stock buybacks with cheap debt, and at the same time facing a demand issue because consumers are facing the same phenomenon.

lower growth projections combined with expanding operating costs due to headcount are unsustainable for growthy tech firms that normally burn a lot of cash to fuel growth, so it becomes necessary for these firms to slow hiring and layoff workers to slow their burn and conserve cash.
Only small correction to that is that load center doesn't step down voltage. The center tapped transformer at the street steps down the voltage to 240V, but then that center tap on the transformer becomes your neutral so you end up with two legs that are 120V from ground/neutral and 240V from leg to leg in your load center.
If

* you can take enough time off by yourself, and

* your team is doing the same/is not resentful, and

* your signifiant other is also ok with it

then it's pretty great.

Kids ill? Day off. Have a big trip planned to far away? You can now stay longer, and don't need to sacrifice e.g. Thanksgiving or Christmas. Moving house? Days off. Etc.

Anecdotally, productivity is up on teams I've been on with DTO. Everyone is just more rested, relaxed, and ready.
Ask HN: Why do certain tech elicit non-technical romanticism?
Technology in general fall into obscurity as they get superseded by superior advancements, and most of the enthusiasm chasing tech do so for the sophistication of the bleeding edge, with no reason to look back at “outdated” technology.

However, certain technology, despite having been superseded by technically superior successors, retain a degree of irrational enthusiasm based on the perceived mystique rather than objective advantages. And it is not some sort of retro-cool sentimentalism, rather it generally happens in the immediate wake of the introduction of a disruptive replacement that is better by every metric, yet the romantic culture developed around the current technology still continues to hold.

For example, the end of the Age of Sail is brought about by fuel-powered propulsion, yet despite them quickly supplanting the use on the seas, the aura around sail ships never really went away.

Another example, while it’s not purely irrational as there still exist practical advantages of the older tech, but I cite it anyways because the underlying drive is still romantic in nature, is that of the “analog” gasoline cars vs the emergence of computerization or electrification.

I love them both, but I can’t seem to rationally explain where the romanticism stems from. I wonder if there are some sort of sociological theory or categorization that describes, and perhaps predicts, this phenomenon?
Sure, and we should also ban those. We ultimately need to get rid of the transmission infrastructure to eliminate those emissions.

But if this had been an article on banning gas furnaces instead, would you be saying it doesn't matter unless we also ban gas stoves? Do we need to regulate everything bad simultaneously or not at all?
Old-school euros (sometimes called "Old-school German games" or OGs[1]) are sadly a dying category of game amongst the new crop of narrative-driven games or highly complex and thematic solitaire Euros. Truly a shame, since these games along w/ train games [2] and some economic games (Splotter games [3], auction games like Neu Heimat/The Estates [4], etc.) are some of the most intriguing and interactive games you can play. They are also games that are truly about playing your opponents (choosing actions that encourage them to better your position, learning to play the game well at different player counts or w/ players of different skill levels, etc.).

A recent evolution of the term "Euro" has given it the connotation of describing games that are largely solitaire, but historically it was used to denote games that lacked an element of chance (little to no use of shuffled cards, dice, or other sources of randomness), that were often not thematic or based on a licensed property, but that were often _highly_ interactive. Knizia in particular has designed some of the best interactive multiplayer games of all time.

As much as I appreciate the resurgence of interest in board games, I don't love that the designs seeing the most press are narrative games that don't advance the medium or really lend themselves well to the format of tabletop games, but rather seem to be an attempt to bolt on the strengths of video games in a clumsy way.

The implication of the ssh port forwarding command is that pinggy is able to connect to the port you are specifying. For example 8000. Then Pinggy and through pinggy anyone who visits the public URL can connect to port 8000 (through HTTP requests).
It's mainly an accounting fix/scam, imo.

Defined PTO is easy to turn into "use it or lose it" which effectively forces people to take time off, which is a major issue in the US - people need to take their allotted time! The best system would be one where once you hit "lose it" you start getting cash instead, but that would cause other weird incentives.

You then have managers that are flexible with your defined PTO, and let you "go negative" a certain amount. As long as people don't abuse it, it works well. Some companies "dump" your year's allotment of PTO on Jan 1 so you can work it down instead, same idea.

Yeah... usually when I'm searching, I'm looking for something deep in the weeds, and what I get are really surface-level results. It's like I'm searching for some deep detail about how 3-phase grid voltage levels react to a severely imbalanced load per phase, and instead I get a bunch of junk about how to plug a lamp into a household socket without electrocuting yourself (totally made up illustrative example!). I truly think 1990s AltaVista was better at this kind of stuff than today's Google (but maybe not early Google).

I don’t care about Tesla much so… no, I don’t know about a battery swap scandal from 7 years ago. But reading this first article (which is the same as the second article) it would appear that Tesla invited people to use a battery swap facility and a team of investigators staked it out for 48 hours and nobody came.

???

What am I supposed to take from this? I think maybe you intended to provide a different article with an actual claim but the first one seems unlikely to matter.

I’d like to see something specific to claims that teslas aren’t actually safer than average if possible
One of the key goals in components is the ability to use it anywhere. Shadow DOM helps with that but also feels like a big thorn in the side for a lot of designers and developers to operate within. It makes more sense to design components this way when you're starting fresh and creating a library to be used anywhere. Controversially, I'd say it's often easier to just write CSS rules that fixes these conflicts and that the Shadow DOM is not really worth bending over for if you're designing within a controlled environment like your own product.
It is funny while we, the citizens of non-1st world countries, strive for moving to Netherlands, and yet you prefer to move to another country :) I can't help wondering which country you are wishing for living in.
> to have a unified interface with a single language for all kinds of cloud infrastructures where the machine you are deploying to can be virtually anything

I don't think having a unified interface is the motivation behind Terraform. You still need to understand the underlying resources you are dealing with, Terraform doesn't abstract that at all. The big idea behind Terraform is procedural vs declarative. You can write scripts to bring up all of your infrastructure but what if one of your scripts fails in the middle? What parts of it actually went into effect and which didn't? Can you just re-run it or will the first part now fail because the infrastructure already exists? What if you have several engineers working on the same environment applying scripts that may interfere with one another? What if there was an incident and you made some manual changes and now production is out of sync with what is represented in the script? What if you made some complicated infrastructure changes and you broke something and want to bring everything back to exactly how it was before?

Declarative infrastructure answers all of those questions. It lets you keep track of what the current state of your infrastructure is, and what you want it to be. It automatically identifies areas where the two don't match up and serves as a forcing function for documenting changes to your infrastructure. Declarative infrastructure is more complicated than procedural because bringing up infrastructure is a procedural process so you need a tool to make it into a declarative one and that is not always easy. But if your team's needs get complex enough the tradeoff is well worth it. I honestly can't even imagine life without it.

As a bonus it makes it easy to ship complete infrastructure solutions as re-usable modules that you can compose.
In no public debate do you get the participation of people who think everyone involved is a lunatic. We presume there are two extremes in any decision making process and ignore the third option, no matter how reasonable.

The risk that you’re talking about is the “risk” of these products not being developed and working when we needed them. We probably would have been in lockdown mode for another year if we hadn’t.

Yes, they received grants. Yes also that they developed the finished products which were then purchased at a discounted rate and they received Emergency Use Audits and accelerated review processes to put them out there. Pretty much anyone that’s wanted to get their COVID vaccines and boosters has gotten them and they didn’t have to pay out of pocket at the time of injection. J&J, Moderna, Sanofi and AstraZeneca are now free to pursue other opportunities. Why shouldn’t they make a profit?
So the official data is wrong? Significantly more people die from COVID than attributed to COVID? If that is the case you should agree with the video author because that would definitely need an official large scale investigation.

+ this would then actually mean that currently in many places people die from COVID at a similar rates as at the peaks of the COVID waves despite all the progress in threatening COVID despite the milder variants and despite the fact that hospitals are not maxed out.
Seems like it's the sort of thing that's borderline useless right up until the moment it's absolutely essential.

Like the smoke alarms in my house, which are actually wired up to mains so don't technically need a battery, but they still have to have a battery in them and will give high pitched chirps ever few minutes when the battery is dead. And since there's so many in the house, and the chirp only comes every few minutes, it's a PITA to find the exact one that needs replacing.

So annoying, and again it's wired to mains so it worked without batteries! Except in a fire the fire might fry the house's magic box of energy delivery leaving only the batteries as the power source and then I really really really want them to work.

Beginner guide to visual regression testing
Two pieces of evidence.

1) Places today have rolling brown outs at times in the year. Some power companies have seasons where they ask customers to limit their electricity use. Even peak load today can be a problem and the electrification of all the things means peak load will increase.

2) Articles that dig into this call out how the power grid will need to change to support the growth in consumption. When it's covered and experts speak they highlight the need for change to meet demand.

Can you refute these?
