HP Probook 450 G2, I believe that's part of the business lineup. I run it as a home server these days and after many years they finally stopped making updates for that thing, so I can't say I care too much.

There's a very good chance they changed their update procedures, but when I last ran the update I needed to run a special .efi file that would handle the flashing.

For what it's worth, I consider the HP Probook line to be excellent in terms of both durability and support. They may not be three millimetres thick like their competition but design wise they're quite alright, the machines are quite sturdy for their weight class. Their repair guide has very detailed step by step instructions on how to replace parts as well as listings of known replacement part product numbers which are great for finding replacement fans.

I think I've received at least seven years of UEFI updates, which is about 6 more than I expected for the price. HP graphics drivers actually got updates and they offer a way to keep track of updates through email without having any crapware installed. The UEFI itself is also one of the best I've used, miles ahead of the Lenovo one. The ability to browse EFI partitions and navigate to an image of your choice is excellent and I can't believe I haven't seen this on other brands.

Enrolling keys, however, required clearing the certificate cache. I could reset it back to factory settings and load the default Microsoft keys, but for their custom updaters I would need to disable secure boot or find the key they used and import it. Hardly a deal breaker, that's just how Secure Boot is supposed to work, but still something to think about when designing an updater process.
It's self hosted, so it seems all or nothing. Interestingly, you could large portions of AWS and a lot of the data would still be up.

> If it were, why would you be wasting your time on it instead of trying to survive?

Implying we're not already trying to survive. Most of the time I've spent procrastinating is during the hardest times, and honestly I've been here much less when times are good. How many view HN on vacation?
Stop Drinking.
Plenty of sleep.
Relaxation away from screens.
Long Walks.
Pulling and pushing heavy things.
Surfing.
That bug reads to me like that functionality is not yet implemented, because they're still figuring out how to securely add that back in. However, since MV2 is still supported, I don't see the problem here — this is just the first public release of some MV3 functionality, but full feature parity is still being worked on (Service Workers aren't supported yet either, for an example that affects my extension).
I haven't, but I suspect it would work well on a Switch hacked up with homebrew firmware and would not work on a vanilla Switch. The Switch is not very accepting of controllers other than the ones designed specifically for the Switch, but the homebrew crowd has done a very good job of fixing that.
> All it does is reinforce the perception that Republicans have nothing but contempt for the American worker.

I disagree, they're playing into their base well from a crabs-in-a-bucket mentality perspective.

Much of their base associates remote working with pandemic measures, which they believe were unnecessary and exaggerated. They associate the types of jobs that can be done remotely as jobs belonging to "coastal elites"/liberal tech workers/pampered college grads/government employees who belong to the swamp/etc. Those exist in contrast to the perceived base of "real" workers, whose jobs are likely physical and can't be done remotely, and who feel strongly about pandemic mitigations. Their response to workers who are hesitant to work in-person is that "the pandemic is over, it's time to go back to work", and workers who want to remain remote are painted as lazy, insubordinate and entitled parasites.

In effect, this bill is hurting the "right" people and there are plenty of constituents who want to use the legal system to do just that: stick it to the people they don't like. Taking away privileges from government employees does exactly that.

Could you clarify what you mean about the dollar in your pocket worth more than debt at 3% interest?

In corporate finance net cash or net debt is indeed standard practice (cash on balance sheet less debt on balance sheet). It sort of helps understand how much cash is ‘available’ to give back to investors, or pay down debt, spend on R&D, etc.

Now since most of MSFT’s long term debt matures in 2027 or after, you could argue that there is not much cash need for debt repayments in the near term. On the other hand, cash flow from operations was down year over year in their last reported quarter so belt tightening is probably needed to reverse that trend.

That's not crazy, it's actually a publicized optional feature on the F-150 Lightning, and the F-150 hybrid has an optional 240V 30A output that can be used as a home backup as well (although that'd be a bit more manual).
Nope, I'm aware. Which is why I wrote "I wouldn't be surprised given the investment [that Microsoft made]"
This chap does presentations on military logistics with a side of Aussie humour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH5TlcMo_m4 and tackled China. In short, you're probably not correct. China has had a better military than Russia for some time. They've been building up, they have more money, more discipline, improving or better technology, an actual build up plan that makes sense, less corruption.

On the other hand you're right that if they invade Taiwan it won't just be a one sided war where they waltz in.

A big difference though is that many people suspect Russia had very bad pre-war intel, driven by corruption, that led them to believe they had a lot more support and local allies on the ground than they did. I do not think that China will make a similar mistake - they will invade when they think they can win.

The best thing the west can do is make sure they never think they can win.
Integer arithmetic is a significant part of ~every program. A single branch that checks the overflow flag is not expensive. But branching on that flag every time you do integer math is death by a billion paper cuts.
old media is a dieing industry so desperate to kick big tech into the ground, they'll do just about anything. I've seen their scathing editorials on big tech: it's getting pathetic.

As parent, I expect to protect my own child. I don't need politicians using that as an excuse to expand their authoritarian powers.
In general relativity space-time is a 4-dimensional (3 space + 1 time) surface that itself can expand, contract, or move around. It's perfectly reasonable in GR to have a distance be L at time t, then L+dL at time t+dt. No extra spatial dimensions needed.
The real L here is spending 50k on a Mac Pro. (Not because it’s a mac, just unnecessary)
It's a different world forsure, I'm not arguing for or against, I'm just saying that eating cannabis has zero health issues associated with it versus drinking and smoking which are killing your vital organs. I'd also argue cannabis edibles are already a multi billion dollar industry. I personally know a couple of folks that have been anti alcohol and smoking, but have eaten or continue to eat cannabis. It's anecdotal at best, but I was surprised when these specific people told me they tried it despite their stance previously.
LTE is provided by national cell networks that aren't state-funded, so the law probably doesn't apply to them. Universities usually administer their own networks (at least they did in my rural uni 10 years ago), so they would have to comply with state laws.
I paid for an M1 when it came out because I wanted that specific technology combination.
I agree, thank you for the correction.

In this context what I mean by stateless is a function call that only depends on the input - given the same starting position it will always produce the same result.

In real world what messes up this behaviour are fields in a class, properties in a file, persistent data of any form and globally initialized variables unknown to the caller.

You don't and will never have an easy way to reproduce, find out or modify these values so ideally you should not put data in database, not use property files and not use fields in classes :)

Yeah... I never said it was easy or doable in real world. But it is a great compass to drive towards a good architecture.
Binary search is similar and the return type there is already Result<usize, usize>: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.bin...
I agree that Sorbet is a better solution but it's also a breaking change. It's a relatively small breaking change and, IMHO, would have been more than worth it but alas it was not my decision to make.
> It provides so many benefits and eases the server management greatly.

Can you elaborate on this? I would have thought that needing local storage cache and the potential for network latency would make PXE untenable.
I don't understand why either. Shipping goods on these routes get more expensive and longer and the market adjusts.
There's another possibility other than sheer malevolence here, which is that the smarter folks in the GOP recognize that telework presents a threat to their gerrymandering strategies. Republicans do best when non-GOP voters are packed into urban areas. Teleworking means that you can keep your fancy city job but move out to the country, where you are going to start purpling areas that the Republicans would prefer remained red.

To be clear, I'm sure that for most Republicans, it really is about contempt for ordinary workers. But I do believe that WFH is going to have a measurable impact on the political landscape, and not one in favor of the GOP.
No, I was watching at the time... Too many shops needed spares
Russia is yet again proving that destroying standards of living in a dictatorship does not threaten the rulers which is the only thing that matters. CCP survived Mao’s policies and so they will survive the changes in GDP per capita whichever way they go.
Even if you use a non-GC language, you are not guaranteed deterministic destruction (e.g. in data structures with loops or a highly variable number of nodes).
The trade-in values tend to be reasonable for off-the-shelf configurations (and especially base configurations). Not great, but reasonable. It’s when you start stacking build-to-order options that the price grows much faster than the trade-in value.
Using your numbers: 300000 miles / 320 miles/cycle = 938 cycles. 938 cycles * 72kWh = 67500 kWh. $12000 / 67500 = 18 cents.

Dunno where I got my 2 cents from, that calculation was done 2 months ago.
Just some initial Googling shows they had roughly 144K employees in 2019 and ~221K in 2022. If you take out 11k, they still added 66K jobs in 3 years. I'd be curious to know the breakdown of the kinds of jobs they added vs the ones they're now eliminating. The article says this cut affects mostly HR and engineering, but doesn't give exact numbers, and it is hard to tell the breakdown for jobs added (unless someone smarter than me can find the info in the public filings).
Most blood pressure medication is dirt cheap, effective pills have been generic for decades now -- you can get a 3-month supply of the largest dose of lisinopril for under $10 cash (no insurance).

You are absolutely right. Yes, Tesla did introduce a seismic shift into the automotive industry.

Their stock was an appreciation and acknowledgement of that? They were valued more than all of their ( major) competitors' market cap aggregated together at one point. Many argue that it still is overvalued.

The incident cited above is on the same slippery slope as the Nikola demo, just more nuanced. It is well worth a discourse.
I'm both inspired and green with envy at what the Gas team was able to do here.
Oversight Board presses Meta to revise nudity policy
That's amusing... but I assume it's because trade-in values are based on non-upgraded or non-custom configurations.

I know that even on eBay, the storage size on iPhones is basically irrelevant to resale price, for example. Your $$ storage upgrade doesn't matter. [EDIT: per comments, I might be wrong on that one in the general case, so never mind.]

So I have to assume that where Apple is putting trade-in devices into a standardized resale pipeline, the only part that matters is what can be standardized. That they're not going to create a one-off listing in the Apple store for a single particular refurb configuration.

So sell it on eBay.
There's no recession, though. There may be one this year, but it didn't exist before all of these layoffs. It may not be a conspiracy, but it seems questionable to believe these companies are not willing a recession into existence through, charitably, pessimism.
There is talk about a 2027 date by U.S. defense analysts, which might just be a lot of bad misinterpretations:

Lots of republicans are still fooled by this and still claim that they are the party of lincoln, as if lincoln would have gone through the horseshit of the civil war and eventual decision to "free" the slaves and then 100 years later vote against the civil rights act, and thing republicans actually did.
Why AI Will Be the Next Foundational Technology Platform
If the stock isn’t moving, perhaps the news is already priced in.
I wonder what the config is. Apple will sell you presently a 28-core, 1.5TiB, 8TiB SSD + 2 64GB GPUs for that price. Which seems a bit extreme. If they needed that type of rig it's hard to imagine what other kind of thing they want to trade it for, since Apple no longer offers anything remotely comparable. The only thing even resembling it is the top-spec mac Studio with a tiny fraction of the memory.
> He has purged thousands of employees, implemented ill-advised policies, and angered even some of his most loyal supporters.

This is the most baffling part of Elon's entire acquisition; even many of his most ardent supporters now hate him. Surely he should have realized that installing himself as King of Twitter could only end poorly. I suppose that's what happens when you're surrounded by yes-men.

Also pretty disconcerting that they're doing this at the same time that they're pumping billions into OpenAI (a company with near zero revenue) at a $30 billion valuation.
Actions that drives results aren’t credentials, they’re evidence.

Saying you have a degree in this or that, or title X/Y without having any results to show for it is credentialism. Unfortunately far too pervasive in our industry.
I never saw “Her”, but I suppose I will give it a watch.
My default method of installing Windows is extracting the ISO file to a FAT partition and that has always worked without trouble for me. The official Microsoft tool does some extra magic to the drive (I think it also fixes the partition table for you) but I've rarely needed to run that.

You don't need to store the entire ISO file on the drive as a 4GiB+ file, as long as the contents can be extracted onto FAT32 the installer can be booted.
The Beginner’s Guide to a Product Launch: Everything You Need to Know
When you’re launching a product, there’s a lot to think about and a lot of moving parts. You need to learn about your customer, write a positioning statement, pitch your positioning to stakeholders, plan your go-to-market strategy, set a goal for the launch, create promotional content, prepare your team, and launch the product.

Then, once the product is launched, you need to see how well you did in achieving your goals.

If all of this sounds like a lot, don’t worry. I am here to help. In this beginner’s guide,I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about launching a product. By the end, you’ll have a solid plan in place to ensure your next product launch is a success.
It does amazingly well. Last May Meta released their Hand Tracking 2.0 update, and the quality of the hand tracking improved enormously. You can see a comparison of 1.0 and 2.0 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-l-RXxYnzs&t=4s&ab_channel=...
Do you support apps that do proper session invalidation (auth cookie can't be reused after the user signs out for example)?
There was also the situation where companies were hiring simply so that the competition couldn't. Now that the competition isn't hiring, you can free the people you were hoarding.
> I bet that he was not cleared for a visual departure out of DCA.

Why not? DCA has a charted, named visual arrival. A visual departure via pilotage is no different, and is very common for VFR flights. (Yes, they would've been given a departure clearance with a route to follow, but "follow the river" is a valid VFR clearance.)

KDVA RIVER VISUAL RWY 19 - https://www.fly.faa.gov/Information/east/zdc/dca/atcCharts/D...

> What restricted airspaces were there in the vicinity he should be aware of?

That's on the chart. ATC doesn't need to (and usually won't) tell you about those. It's expected the pilot has done adequate preflight planning to be aware of them.
Having not used a smart phone for ~5 years now, I can say that it is totally a workable solution - however, there are, of course trade-offs, and several persistent annoyances. Rather than get into a list, I will present the one thing that I find the most frustrating:

Our society expects you to have and use a smart phone for nearly everything.

This might be less annoying if it meant only new functions or supplemented old things, but in my experience it's the opposite. It's often the most simple low-fi things we have been doing for ages, that have been overhauled to require a smartphone, app, and data plan. It's hard to be looked at as 'the person complicating things', when everybody else expects you to carry a luxury item (and an expensive monthly service bill), just to perform a basic task, like paying a bill, or reading a menu.

I'm not one to wander around expecting society to cater to my own needs, but I openly admit that I find this Twilight Zone-like first-world problem (What do you mean, you can't use our app?) the most infuriating.

With that said, you can still get by in most situations, but I don't see the above getting better on into the future, unless there is some cultural revolution about how view and use technology.
Before the web and global geek culture, magazines were the only way to get a feeling of "belonging" to some kind of tech community, sometimes the community of some computer brand owners, sharing the same interest for the compatible software & hardware products. Heavily priced online board systems then milked the same needs providing downloads which replaced free disks offered with magazines.
It's arguable we would be in a better place if democrats didn't compromise and take that deal. Maybe our economy coming to a screeching halt for a bit is what it takes to show idiots that we should be supporting workers who make our insane GDP possible, instead of barely keeping up the status quo that does not benefit those rail workers.
Crystal 1.7.1 Is Released
This makes a lot more sense. Whenever you have to choose between Theory A: the other side is evil / hateful and Theory B: the other side is optimizing their self-interest (in this case getting elected by their base), Theory B seems to be the more correct and useful one.
I really wish that the world gravitated towards more hardware-related gadgety future.

I was quite fond of the Japanese vision of future, where there is an item/gadget/accessory for everything. That way, people could choose to which degree they want to interact with their technology.

But here we are, stuck in the IoT software-focused world.
Been a thing for a long time. I first ran into it back in the Novell days with RPL netbooting, and it's moved through BOOTP to PXE booting. Biggest benefits pitched are usually "lower cost" and "centralized management".

As an example, X Terminals all worked this way. Much of the old Sun Microsystems "The Network Is The Computer" pitch was having low-end, diskless SPARC machines (e.g. SLC, ELC) netbooting and mounting disk and doing heavy lift compute via NFS & X11 from large SPARC servers and storage arrays.

You can look at the Linux Terminal Server Project (ltsp.org) for some reasonably current ideas of what someone might do with this.
I think you'll have to be more specific than that.

If your hangup is that this is yet another instance of Westerners attempting to decide the fate of a people on the otherside of the planet from them, I think we can grant that there isn't a stellar track record there. Still, ideal scenarios of perfect sovereignty don't exist in the real world and I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect e.g. Japan to ask for continued American involvement.
Exactly that. I’m also worried to see KaiOS phones featuring proeminent Google apps. I don’t want Google in a minimal phone.

That’s why I’ve really big hopes for Mudita: they open-sourced their whole OS (I didn’t checked the code but it seems to be fully on github).

My biggest problem with dumbphones is that, in Belgium, nearly all banks now require you to use their app. (my solution so far: keeping an old smartphone with broken screen in a drawer, only for banking purposes).

Also, I realized that my use is completely different while traveling: I’ve an app for belgian railway, I synchronize PDF tickets to my phone and I also need the companion app for my bike GPS. My solution so far: using the Hisense A5, with eink screen. No google, most apps don’t work but bike GPS works great. Problem is that Firefox and Protonmail also work great, which is not a minimal phone anymore.
I don't know what to tell you, man. There was no "current Full Self Driving" feature at the time, in 2016. That option literally had no features until 2019 when some stuff began getting enabled via software update.

That's pretty easy to do; to characterize nationalist censorship in terms of trivialities. I could literally use being "built for advertisers to push products and services through ads and influencers" to ban television, newspapers, and every social network.
I'm ending the conversation here.

I don't think that's going to happen anymore, everything is too locked down. My 'cybersecurity' education came from having my computer infected with all types of malware in the '00s.

In the mobile era, nearly everything is sanitized and sandboxed. The idea of needing to get all your software through a centralized, vendor-controlled app store would be absurd in the '00s. Yet here we are.
The people I was referring to built their own PC. The people who do that are a minority for sure, but they're going to be the customer for most of these specially branded MSI boards.
App silos are pretty neat, I also find it kind of shameful that server silos are locked down to server SKUs. I would figure there could be some significant benefit to using them in browser renderer processes.
