The first company I worked for started offering a 401k about 1 year into my employment there. I remember seeing the low percentage match and 2-year vesting schedule as kind a bit of cheap-skate middlefinger, and declined the benefit. Probably did more harm than good to offer it.
I really dont know how to explain this, but once I started I never thought of stopping. I felt like Tom Hanks of Forrest Gump who was just running and running..

I really enjoyed creating those tools and for surely, I will create more.
It is, in fact, not extreme. By the most recent count a majority (58%) of American young adults (18-35) live with their parents.
I suppose they do it for themselves, a public statement that reinforces and legitimises their choice.

On most sites I use my amateur radio callsign (HN is an exception). It's unique and very unlikely to be taken already.
Under the guise of safety most manufacturers have or in the process of blocking 3rd party batteries. Electrify America also at one point in time only allowed "certified manufacturers" to charge on their network, blocking "homemade" EV's and repaired EV;s

Tesla Famously have blocked their supercharger network from rebuilds as well

It is not a technical limitation it is an economic and political one.

>That was done at a dealer under warranty

And most likely with out that warranty your car would have been economically totaled. Which is normally any repair that costs 55-60% of the current market value.
Disclosures aren't about whether or not the statement is meant to be actually factual, the whole story, and moral it's about giving people the information they need to weigh when they consider if that's the case. It's reasonable to say a PR employee's response has a high likelihood of being more biased than a generic Stripe employee's response, or at least biased in a different direction. Again that doesn't mean the response is actually "wrong" or just a partial picture or what have you but it does mean many people appreciate considering the possibility of bias when trying to come to a full conclusion.
I have a surname that’s hard to spell.

AppFS [0] solves a similar problem but with much lower learning curve and overhead for using it, since it removes the install step altogether.

Note that the title may be misleading. It is not talking about fried potatoes. Rather, these are the so-called "potatoes" of raw starch produced by the Fried condensation process, originally developed in the 1920s by American chemist Hamlin H. Fried.

I hope this clears things up.
One might assume that having a mobile number of a mobile device will give the triangulated location of that device. Where is one, there have to be more.

But yes, its not a news outlets problem. Totally agree with you here. But, as long as it can't be ruled out, that someone may laid out some nickels and pointed to that.. imho 2% possibility on that. Very very unlikely.

Incorrect (to the point of being FUD, IMO).

If it happened again now (outside the warranty period), it would cost me ~6-8 hours and around $70 for the module.

There are pros and cons to defined benefit (i.e. pension in US speak) and defined contribution (e.g. 401-k) plans. Among other things, defined benefit plans--when they were more common--were mostly oriented around people staying at the same company for a decade or more. Usually if you just stayed for 2-3 years you got nothing or almost nothing.

(Sorry late to the game)

A friend suggested this to me a while back so I tried a couple IDEs, and it didn't really do it for me. Mostly I think this for three reasons:

1. IDEs don't offer features I need. I don't often need to do a big rename (and if I do, sed and grep have me covered) or generate getters/setters, or what have you.

2. Cool stuff happens outside IDEs. There are tools that generate docs for APIs or even APIs themselves. There are tools that generate clients for APIs. There are tools to build apps using formal techniques (think Jason Donenfeld's work on WireGuard here). IDEs are behind here.

3. For "reasons", I had to implement a circumspect version of DBT in a few days, roughly 1300 LOC. Doing this with Vim was hard enough, but doing this with an IDE would've been impossible because while they help with some of the drudgery of the structure, they can't implement a structure itself, and they can't help me wrangle the raw code.

> Does code just flow from their brains into their fingers? I don't get it.

It sounds ridiculous, but yeah, more or less. I learn and assess by doing, so mostly I jam things out at 140 wpm, see if it's good, if not do it again. And over a career of doing this I have to do things over less and less, and when I do I get both an implementation and a pretty good empirical defense of it at the end.
I've personally been involved in decisions like that, as well. If you're throwing stuff into a datacenter and the BMC doesn't work right[1], the hardware is basically a brick. Vendors should be blackballed for their incompetence.

[1]: all things i have personal experience with:

- chassis bootdev pxe => doesn't do that, just reboots to normal OS

- chassis power off => doesn't do it (oh, here's an ipmi raw command you can use for this BMC version. NO!)

- dhcp server sends an option in an offer it doesn't understand, drops the offer, no IP at all.

- gets scanned by auditor-checkbox-as-a-service (qualys), locks up and sends the host CPU into 100% and locks up that up too.

- Not supporting IPv6 properly (if there's a place to start deploying IPv6 it's BMCs), i.e. uses SLAAC properly, but doesn't use the gateway from the RA so you actually can't use it from outside it's own segment - needs a firmware update to fix but uhh, we didn't dual-stack the BMC network because the whole point is to get that IP space back.

We had to write a test suite for vendors to run against their BMC and validate these things and you were disqualified if you failed.
Hopes and prayers?

I think its completely impossible to make sure your machine is not compromised. You can just take the best effort to keep it clean.

Try to use 2FA as much as possible. And try to shield the 2nd factor as good as possible from any connection to your other devices.
Of course it's okay to follow a legally binding contract.

If you got a mortgage when interest rates were low and now the bank comes knocking at your door to get you to pay more that wouldn't be reasonable.

There's always a risk. The problem is a half-ass article that tries to portray a company as being bad for following the agreement we as employees accept to work there.

I still get traffic, but for things like a webpack define plugin post I wrote in 2017 and for 2 CSharp posts. "eslint for c#" and "build props"

All my Azure / TypeScript / React / Bicep traffic dried up. No idea what replaced me.

For what it's with, with no false modesty, my content is pretty good. It's the sort of thing I'd hope to find when I Google.
Odd. I would say our CTO is actually a GREAT VP/E - and AWFUL CTO. As in, he doesn't know where to get updated tech news. When I demoed chatgpt he was like "what is this" etc..

He's very smart, incredibly smart, learns quickly, and he can get things done - but he doesn't stay up to date with what is what. He's good at managing people.

Like, he's pushing for microservices, but doesn't listen to advice from people like Sam Newman, Martin Fowler, etc.. when they say when NOT to use them. Silly stuff like that.
When I started doing more low level concepts, over the years, things just clicked. But honestly it's just practice and a curious mental model.
Good comment! I’d add in one more question so we can put the GA tag issue to rest.

Does the writer have access to Google Search Central? They rename this product every six minutes. It used to be Google Webmaster Tools and it’s likely called something new now. Are there any manual actions or security alerts in there??

If Google performs a manual action or picks up certain types of security problems, they will tank traffic. But they usually report to give webmasters the chance to fix it.

I’d avoid ahrefs and the like and start right with google tools.

The human connection aspect of therapy is one of the primary reasons therapy works for me. Trust is a huge factor, and trust can only be built by establishing a relationship.

Trust isn’t just about “I can tell this person anything”, but also trust that the therapist understands me well enough to ask me the right questions, contextual to my experience in life, and in therapy. Trust that they are looking at my facial expressions and are noticing when I’m in distress even if I don’t realize I am in that moment. Trust that the person I’m speaking to has dedicated their life to help/support others, and that the things I say aren’t all being fed to some system that is analyzing every word.

Obviously YMMV, and this depends on why you’re in therapy, but one of the things that I’m deeply grateful for in therapy is that I know the person I’m speaking to deeply cares.

Maybe a bot can someday fill in for those times when you just need to have a conversation with someone other than yourself, or want someone to identify and help you see the thinking traps you’re falling into.

But I can’t help but feel such a bot should not be thought of as a therapist, any more than Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” feature should be considered fully autonomous. I think it’s a misnomer.
Well that's the thing, I don't want an xmonad replacement; I'm not a fan of automatic tiling. I much prefer manual tiling a la i3. I looked through the Phoenix examples and didn't find something that worked how I wanted, so I'd be left implementing it myself. The reimplementation of Spaces by hiding/unhiding windows does sound like a nice trick that Amethyst and yabai should adopt though.
I am not saying nothing matters. I'm pointing out that "what matters" is not found "out there" in achievements or experiences. What matters is the state of our being. We seek out things, people, experiences and so on because they make us feel fulfilled.

So, if I am acting from a state of fulfillment or contentment, what I choose to do with my life might be quite different from what I would do if I felt unfilled and lonely.
As I said, it's not uncommon. Compared to how Americans lived in the recent past it is extreme. A very large change in a very short period of time.
A significant source of frustration at $dayjob recently has been the _inability_ to test in production. We've just deployed Stripe, and if you're using prod API keys, there's no testing possible without spending real money. Deploy to production and pray to the tech gods I guess.

Not being able to exclude system packages from resolution when using __pypackages__ is a pretty glaring omission that will force people to continue using venvs until it’s fixed.
I don't get the point. There really isn't anything particularly inherently special about blog posts as a medium versus say, chapters in a textbook, other than the obvious things. You can, of course, learn about complex subject matter through a blog post. If you find someone with a similar mental model of things to your own, I think you can in fact learn from blog posts easier, as they can get from zero to understanding with less detours.

On a similar note, I personally believe there are many concepts that have been explained much better by random YouTubers than academic textbooks. Textbooks are more comprehensive almost always, but having an intuitive understanding of something is obviously more important in many cases than simply remembering a long list of bullet points about it. You can always use reference material later. In real life, memorizing facts on their own is rarely useful.

The best answer here is that you should use both, or imo, "all three," of blog posts, video content, and academic textbooks/articles/courses. Taking a variety of approaches helps me get to a mental "click" quicker, personally.
FTFA:
"Data on commercial cameras available at the time suggest that it is likely to be a Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) model containing a 6–134 mm varifocal lens able to film at 4K or 8 megapixel resolution."

This is so wildly inaccurate that it really makes this whole thing seem highly suspicious.

The average CCTV camera in a municipal deployment, especially ones from several years ago, would be a fixed 1080p camera with an adjustable 4-8mm lens, which is set at a fixed focal point upon installation. In other words, not a PTZ, not a long range lens. The mounting height is usually 10+ feet high, which overall makes it really poor for face recognition purposes.

This is not to say that many of these cameras cannot capture at least some faces with a level of detail that is sufficient for face-rec, but this camera network is nowhere near the ability to track a person/their movements throughout the city.
I agree with you, but I don't if it would make much of a difference.

IMO the best solution (from an employee protection PoV) would be for Ireland to ban these clauses. But I doubt all of the tech companies that actually bring money to this country would be happy with that. It's already a small country with a tiny talent pool. Most companies are just here due to the low corporate tax. If the government starts tightening things with regulation I have no idea why companies would stay here. The country has nothing to offer.

Precisely. You're a human. Humans are lazy and bad at manually checking things are correct, especially if there's an "eh it's probably fine" option.

This is extremely well studied: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigilance_(psychology)

As I said before, it's probably better than nothing in that it will help you detect obviously implausible results. But it really needs to be labelled as such otherwise people will assume that these are properly curated "golden" tests.
See my other comment, it's basically not true at all, IMO.
I don’t agree at all. Unless the author enforces it with license or some legal means and/or the LLVM version author was rude, this is how competition works in a good way. And to be fair, performance is not the only reason people pick between different implementations. A good example being CPython: there are plenty of JIT-enabled python in the wild but I don’t see people turn away from CPython

Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Analytics in 2023
I have a Flask site hosted on Linux with Nginx and gunicorn. It is a site to catalogue development of Bonsai trees, so not ecommerce.

I would like to see visitor numbers at times of day and probably a few more things in the future. In the past I would have stuck Google Analytics on and got on with my day. Now I want to avoid the cookie banner, and the shitty tracking of my users. I don't want to code analytics, I want to work on features. It feels like my nginx logs have the data I need. Is there a simple tool that analyses this? Or should I just find a less crappy front end analytics service?.

What is everyone using in 2023?

The site is at Bonsai-garden.com just so you can imagine what I am going to need.
This is flat out not true. Major cities were destroyed and inhabitants we're slaughtered wholesale. World class cities like Merv and Herat at went from being among the most populated cities in the world to depopulated villages. Places we know today like Baghdad and Kiev never recovered their former status. The Mongol siege of kaffa in Crimea is also believed to have led to one of the first outbreaks of the Black Death.

One approach I recall taking as the in-house developer for a company's warehouse management system was to designate the warehouse I was in to be the "experimental" warehouse: new features (or new systems entirely!) would be developed/configured in coordination with that warehouse's team, and they were generally comfortable with the idea that they would get those new features first (with the risks that entails). Once my local site had used the new feature/system for a few weeks without major incident, it would then get rolled out to the other sites.

I suspect remarkably few people are qualified to objectively say which is more secure. If you're an expert on one, you're unlikely to be an expert on the other.

Security is multidimensional. It's unlikely there will be a platform that's more secure from every possible angle. What's secure for you might not be secure for a less technical person, or a world traveler.
