This is definitely happening. After 6 glowing interviews, I was expecting an offer two weeks ago from a startup. small company, profitable, growing quickly, only 100 employees, just closed a $70m funding round. While waiting for the "final" interview, I noticed the 40 jobs on their website disappeared. Finally heard from them 10 minutes after the interview was supposed to start, to tell me they had decided to halt hiring and "rightsize" their (skeleton) staff.
This is a feature. This is an open source project, nobody cares about the sales pitch to some old executives.
> There is an alternative to being fat too, it's called broccoli

There's a lot of discussion on obesity and weight issues on hackernews that show zero shreds of empathy that it's just wild to me and this is not much different. I don't think anyone refutes that diet and exercise are great options to avoid/combat obesity, but statements like yours are as useful as walking up to a smoker and saying "just quit". You may be alienating the audience you are trying to help, given that is the intention
No need for Obsidian per se. You can test it with any folder containing one or more markdown (.md) file.

If you want, I've created the release with .zip and .dmg here: https://github.com/akaalias/getstreamline/releases/tag/v3.5.... – Here's the commit: https://github.com/akaalias/Streamline/commit/28b063c91f720e...

I've added screenshots of what it should look like for reference.

Will do a test as soon as I can get another test-naïve test machine :D
End of life is terrifying... Especially the idea of facing it alone, with all your friends and family long gone (or, worse yet, having been abandoned), is heartbreaking.
And I can keep my non-apple laptops for longer b/c I can upgrade ram and storage and easily put in a a new battery when needed.

Very interesting reply, thanks. I am not sure how much C++ some of the book writers actually write - some of their advice and patterns don't seem usable in the real world.

I should say that the majority of very vocal "haters" that appear on C++ topics appear to not use it and instead just show up to burn the C++ flag in a public space.
Something is wrong with your hardware or software.
A watt is not a per-second measure, Wh are the energy measurement to W being the power. TWh = 10^12Wh which means a trillion-watt for 1 hour.

10^12 / 20 (power of brain) / 24 (hours in a day) / 365 (days in a year) = 5 707 762 years.

This is a test, a legal test to see if they can get away with it; while it's a slippery slope argument, if this is not stopped now, they will expand this technology across the country, and they will start barring people based on e.g. criminal records (IMO if someone served time their record should be expunged) or visual traits ("you look like trouble"), which invariably will lead to racial profiling.

Slippery slope fallacy for sure, but it's not unheard of. China applies it at a wide scale, to the point where I'm sure Faceapp is used to gather facial recognition data, and they use it to track ethnic minorities (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/14/technology/china-surveill...)

Apple seems to have (more than others at least) attempted to deliver things that people actually value.

It often feels like there are two factions working against each other in Apple.

One faction believes they know best, and have a specific aesthetic in mind when designing products (for example that Magic Mouse that charges on the bottom, which was a design decision to prevent people using it as a wired mouse).

Another faction seems to try to bring what humans actually want to technology.

Everyone says they want a fast computer that can compute half the galaxy, yet, when they have such a machine they become jailed to their desks in a semi-portable manner.

Everyone says they're fine with 5-10hours of battery life, but when you give people 18hrs suddenly everyone talks about being "free", which is something I experienced myself.

It's hard to reconcile, since some people seem to hate apple almost as a religion, and they have some really great points! But nobody seems to be competing with Apple on the same terms. There is no other manufacturer of computer equipment that has a whole package which isn't a letdown in most areas, usually beating Apple products in 1 or 2 categories.

Whether that be chasing the numbers (i9 5GHz!, 128G OF RAM!), some feature which is pretty good but not really fleshed out fully or "being a brand" and the aesthetics that go with it (Sony Vaios, for example).
Small acts of kindness are more than enough to make someone else’s day. They sometimes even change lives. I hope this story reminds people that this is not just an empty platitude.
I can confirm that various Dell XPS 15 models and Microsoft Surface Book 2 and 3 models are just not usable without the power plug for my software development (and very rare gaming) needs. I also need the power plug for a simple thing like a Microsoft Teams meeting that last longer than one hour.

Compare that to my MacBook Air M1 which runs for a full day easily. Also, standby works.

With Dell I learned it's better to always shut down.
If not linux then what OS do you want this to be on? Building even a very basic OS from scratch for these purposes is not a trivial task. There are also very stripped down Linux distributinos which would match your requriements. In fact, you can install arch linux and just download only these most basic programs and run it minimally.
Not in my experience. You must be running something that is not agreeing with some Ventura change?
> Presume there are only 1 billion people left on Earth when we decide it's time to go

The scenario that leads to have only 1B left from where we're at would entail such a catastrophic meltdown of society that even building a rocket would likely not be feasible, let alone anything significant for a human exode.

Think about it, you're fighting against something that killed 7B people, be it the end of fossil fuels, climate change, a massive and deadly pandemic, a war or another type of catastrophe. There are probably global food shortage, areas that can't be lived in anymore. The global supply chain doesn't exist anymore, and government is much more localized, very different. Being down to 1B is probably not the bottom line of your decline, 1B people is still a lot. Your priorities are based on survival, you're trying to figure out how to grow enough food, gather enough water. You don't have enough reserve capacity that you can spare it on projects like building a lot of rockets and colonizing another planet.

Rockets are a thing of complex societies with abondant energy ; not a last minute effort to preserve the human race.
Ask HN: Help me move to Edge Infra
Hey all,
Vedran here co-founder of Treblle (API observability platform). In short we've got SDKs that sits on top of your API and logs every single API request that happens. We then give you some really cool things like: auto-generated docs, analytics, quality scoring, real-time logging and monitoring, bug tracking...the works.

Right now we run our infrastructure on top of AWS. Basically the request goes from your API to AWS API Gateway then to a super simple Lambda function which simply stores the request body as JSON in S3. That's it. Afterwards we use SQS, more Lambdas and our Laravel based ETL to make sure we actually give you as the user rich and meaningful insights. More detailed blog about how it all works can be found here: https://blog.treblle.com/diary-of-a-wimpy-devops-engineer-monoliths/.

The thing I'd like to speed up and improve is the first part - let's call it the ingest part. I'd like to move it to the Edge : ) Using maybe AWS Lamda@Edge or Cloudflare Workers or even something else you all suggest.

Reducing latecy is key here so my idea was maybe to completely remove the need for the Gateway and have the SDKs directly call a Lamda function. In that case I would need to implement some sort of a usage limit check on the Lambda to see if the the user has reached a maximum of their plan. I could use Redis or Memcached to store an API and the number of API calls it made and have it expire in a month or something similar. Has anyone done something like that before?

Anyone running something similar on Workers? I think Workers has KVs which could be use to solve this as well. If we move to R2 things might be even cheaper.

Thank you!
Mac with Linux support would be the best tech product ever.
It's quite common to see another link from the same website on the frontpage. This happens because someone else browses the website after finding the first article on HN and posts another article that they find interesting.

Edit:
I see someone else beat me to it.
Don't they already? Asahi Linux, etc. It just doesn't have the greatest support (drivers).

I think you'd like Apple to provider proper documentation or even their own Linux drivers. That'd cannibalize macOS so I don't see that happening.
Thanks. I searched HN for the link and nothing turned up. Should have searched for the title I guess. But the good thing is there are always some who missed it.. including me.

I thought Germany was central Europe
Hey OP, are you worried? You've made it until now, if a layoff happens, you'll do just fine. I'm saying this because I have those silly thoughts all the time, mainly because of my poor upbringing, hunger, seeing my family members get shot and die and living in a third world country... but I can stop those thoughts and relax.

Now for your question:

Now I live in Germany, so 6-12 month fund isn't even necessary as in case of a layoff, as I've worked for long enough, I'll get 1 year reduced paycheck that will keep my bills paid.

But I've saved the emergency fund nevertheless.

Honestly, it's the only thing I have control. And of course, if I get laid off, I'll do what is needed to do.

If companies want me to leetcode, I'll leetcode. If companies want me to prepare better for whiteboard interviews, I'll also do it.

Here in Germany it isn't very common, they mostly give you a take home exercise, but in case of a layoff, you should be prepared to take action on what is needed for you to get back to a job.

I wouldn't be overly concerned, people think of those scenarios as very dire, with mass unemployment.

In case such thing happens and it is as dire as you think, social chaos will be huge and governments will need to find a solution for this problem. Even if that means sending all IT workers to start digging holes, to fill it out with dirty over again. Just be ready to work on whatever comes and on adapting yourself to any new situation.

I hope we never have to dig holes together, but in case we do, let's make it fun :)

If you are a skilled IT professional, that is healthy and can talk, write and deal with situations in an analytical way, you'll find a solution. I find it sad that people that are very dedicated to their jobs have this sort of thoughts, whether they will make ends meet in case something out of ordinary happens. It is very likely that you will.

This might mean taking some paycut and needing to refinance or rethink your finances, but it won't be the end for you. Just chill and relax. Life also has up and downs and you likely have it better than most.

Also learn to see your possibilities without your job. This comment makes me think you are too attached to your current situation. Maybe if you were digging up holes or working as a cashier on a wall mart, you'd still be happy and figuring things out.

And to wrap up, enjoy your life, you only live once, to waste your time being worried about it.
I believe there’s a WordPress ActivityPub plug-in now which helps with this for a large portion of sites out there
It was far obvious it would be used to provide things piecemeal to Gecko when it was started. The decision to port WebRender came more or less at the same time when it was decided that Servo, which had a great velocity at that point, would focus on VR and AR usage.

It wasn't too hard to read between the lines for what was happening especially considering how political Mozilla is from the inside. The decision to stop the project some time later wasn't much of a surprise from then on.
Before everything was picked up and moved to California, New Jersey was the original home of the movie making industry in the US.
And maybe that's okay? A heavily fragmented web means no one actor can accrue all that much power.

The challenge for all the ActivityPub services, in order to go anything resembling mainstream, is to get better at routing a wider swath of people to the right services and communities.
FYI: After just throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall, I've finally come up with the following which does work, at least for apt (haven't tried update manager):

Update-Manager::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;
APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates True;

Note the lack of a ":" in the APT:: line. Putting a : silently causes it to do phased updates.

> which is ridiculous and there's no way I'm paying that much

You forgot "for me" after "ridiculous."

I turned myself into an audiophile without even realizing it, but once you hear the difference, you can't unhear it. I have rediscovered some of my favorite tracks. So if your hearing is good (use an app to check if you can still hear the buzz sound, if not check your response curve) and you enjoy music, why not?

My regular audio setup (walkman, headphones, cable) cost more than the (very good, top of the line) OLED laptop I'm using. Add all the little extras I use time-to-time, like shoulder headphones for use in the morning, or the sunglasses with integrated bluetooth I use when taking a walk, and it's an obscene amount of money.

But music is what moves my soul. You may spend top dollar for your car and consider it a "reasonable" expense because it brings you such happiness everyday? I consider a top-of-the-line NZW Walkman "reasonable" for the same reasons.
I'm curious what those "rules" were mentioned in another post[0] that were suspected of being circumvented.

Yet another story[1] says:

> Had the FAA’s new NOTAM system been in place, redundancies would likely have stopped the cascading failures. With the antiquated system in place, there was nothing to stop the outages, the official told ABC News.

> "Now we have to understand how this could have happened in the first place. Why the usual redundancies that would stop it from being that disrupted, did not stop it from being disrupted this time, and what the original source of the errors or the corrupted files would have been," he said.

So there were multiple failures that allowed this to happen. Redundancies if not routinely tested aren't failsafe. It's possible that this particular failure mode wouldn't have been caught even if redundancies were working as designed.

I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience. I've been working at my current company for at least a few years. I recently found out that some of my colleagues that have been here for less time than I have, who have less experience than I do, got promoted ahead of me. Like you I also get good reviews during review time.

I feel like I should be upset about this. After all, I do value recognition, and would like to see my work validated among my peers. However it would seem that skill and effort are not required to be promoted at my current company. And from experience this is a general truth: there will always be biases, social structures, etc to overcome.

I am not entirely upset by it. I am already paid a lot of money and I'm not left wanting in life. I have few responsibilities at work which is great because I have lot at home (unlike you I do have dependents, a spouse, a mortgage, etc). A promotion would mean more responsibility and pressure along with the higher pay. And that's not going to make the work any more interesting or challenging in the ways I find satisfying.

What would improve my life is having interesting work to do. Most of what I work on is extremely boring enterprise business-ware. I've given up being ambitious and working on interesting, challenging work because I'm more concerned and interested in my family and our well-being and my hobbies than I am in trying to change the world or prove anything.

If, one day, this company does manage to exit and my options turn out to be valuable and I make a bunch of F-U money then it won't matter anyway. That's when I can loosen the collar and sit back and do my own thing.

So my advice is: don't evaluate your life based on your job and its social hierarchies. Promotions, titles, etc are almost always bullshit in tech. Instead look at what you have and try to think about what it is that you need, what expectations are being missed and make a move that will improve the quality of your life.

If you have enough money to survive for six months with a tight budget maybe you're in the right place to start your own company?

Maybe you can take time off to dedicate time to a side project you find fulfilling?

On the flip side, maybe starting a new hobby is the way to go and just clock in/out at work. Chasing promotions is hard work and perhaps the benefits are not that valuable to you.
Yeah, it's basically the tethering by the vendor that's making me run away from them.

If I could buy an Apple laptop and then immediately break all my ties with Apple, still being able to use the machine, then I would certainly buy one.

Apple doesn't seem able to decide whether they are offering a service or a product.
I recently got into collecting minidisc hardware.

A minidisc player isn't too different from a flash player in that it plays compressed music off a filesystem, the difference is the filesystem is stored on a magneto-optical disc instead of flash.

You definitely don't have the huge capacity that a flash player has but I'd say listening in outdoor conditions you can put 160 minutes of music on a disc and with a few discs you have enough music for your day.
Maybe when they stop crippling their already expensive hardware to gouge customers.

Where's my multiple display outputs, Apple? I paid way more than any competing device, every one of which allowed for more than one extra display. I'm not a video editor, I don't want to buy an M1 Max just to get triple monitor support back.

Doing these 'simple' things requires a massive amount of software behind the scenes. No one wants to take the man-centuries to recreate all of that work
from scratch. Not even Apple did. They built it on top of years of already created work. From a software engineering perspective, you do not want to build something this complicated as a single monolithic program.
I have been doing the same for ~30 years now, and having an email address that established has its downsides - I’ve lost track of the number of times the trap has sprung. The most-recent was Tesla, though.

I did a lot of work on iCloud’s “Hide My Email”, and I’m involved (the DRI for) quite heavily in other privacy-focused work at iCloud. It’s something I feel strongly about.
>but at the same time I do not feel a whole lot of empathy towards lawyers that are actively suing the venue

The lawyer initially turned away wasn't involved in that suit at all, just worked for the same company. Imagine your company did something shitty (not that the litigation is shitty), then you personally started getting banned from places because of it, even if you had no involvement whatsoever.
Once upon a time, i used a catchall @domain and it was trivial to track email disclosures. I think it's more private to maintain an individual alias as a throwaway proxy address per service, but it's more work.
Aha. That would be cool to see an independent reproduction of those experiments. Good stuff.
I consider one of my parents to be an objectively 'terrible' person. I don't think I 'owe' them a god damned thing. However, due to good fortune, I am a person of some means. Its trivial to me to help them out in a mild sense. I do so not out of a sense of parental homage or heritage or any of that garbage. I do so because they are a person in need and its less effort to subsidize some of their costs than it would be for me to feign love or appreciation for the their failures as a parent. However, if it wasn't them, I'd be helping someone else in a similar position. Why? Because the fact is you do owe the rest of society. The non-sense idea that has never been the case is that we are islands unto ourselves. Only pissbabies who never aged mentally past the maturity of a adolescent believe they are their own making.

Watts are actually a time independent measurement, note that the TWh has "hour" affixed to the end. This is 1 Tera Watt over the course of one hour, not one second. Your numbers are off by a factor of 3600.

1TWh / 20 Watt brain = 50,000,000,000 (50 Billion) Hours.

50 Billion Hours / (24h * 365.25) = 5,703,855.8 Years
On the flip side, I've sold every one of my old Apple laptops, usually for a few hundred bucks at least after 4-6 years of use. After 4-6 years I can get maybe $100 or a little more for any of the Lenovo and Dell laptops I owned.

Apple laptops depreciate much slower.
would have loved to hold off on ventura, but the lack of security updates (and compliance reqs by my employer) is what got me...
