I think comments like yours are interesting. You say people on HN shit on both, pretending you caught the hive-mind in some kind of hypocrisy. I'd bet there are more than two people here that can hold more than two opinions. Why would you expect everyone to be of the same opinion?

And the two extremes don't even cover the whole spectrum of opinions you can have.

I personally like working in the office, I believe humans are social animals that need more than just interaction through voice and crappy video with a bad angle, yet I hate the commute. So I'm completely fine with the hybrid approach we have right now at my company. Although I would understand if for cost-savings they'd make us 100% remote.

Working from home where I'm mostly independent is great, I can concentrate much better. Working from home on something that needs collaboration is hard. Meetings in Teams are psychologically exhausting. You can't see the reactions of people when you present something. This feedback is necessary.

Maybe if we had some kind of VR/metaverse kind of thing it would help, but it would need to convey facial micro-expressions in real-time. Audio would need to be placed appropriately in the room.

Like for VR meetings to make sense it shouldn't be necessary to mute your microphone. The app would need to make it sound like you're in a room together and multiple people can be distinguished properly by ear.
If they have a clone of an intranet gateway, I would have to agree that the phishing attempt is a bit more advanced, so calling it sophisticated is not too far fetched.
XML vs JSON is such a fascinating topic, a clash of different approaches, academic vs practical might be one way of describing it but I'm sure there's many others. Are there any good books or essays on it?

And having been there in the 90s seeing XML and thinking "they've tried to do everything and got into a big mess" (XSLT anyone?) its so satisfying to see something simple and flawed displace it.
We run an LDAP service attached to our SaaS application.

A couple of years ago we were alerted to the fact that iOS devices no longer connected to our LDAPS server running on port 636. macOS still seemed to connect fine..

After some digging, it seemed Apple updated iOS to only accept connecting over STARTTLS on port 389. So we had to run a STARTTLS server also to make iOS devices work.

At the time, it seemed STARTTLS over 389 was the "standard", maybe that's why Apple changed it, but looking just now it seems that is being challenged [1][2], and rightly so.

Why not both? SolarCity (now Tesla) had solar panels that looks like roof tiles. There's a lot of roof space in any town, it makes sense to use that instead of use up land (that could be used for housing or agriculture) for solar power generation.

But it can be all of the above, too. More energy produced is not going to go to waste, and there's plenty of unusable areas like deserts where solar electricity can be generated in various ways.

In 2013-15 I never knew exactly how it worked for dollars in the bank or if it was dollars in hand... but a lot of people like government economists in Belgrano and Las Cañitas had a lot of actual $100 dollar bills...

(I lived in Cañitas twice and it's a great place to live if you make USD but I was nowhere near the wealth level of people who spent all day running horses and playing Polo)

Agree the underlying language is not to important.

On the other hand when I see built with Rust I have high confidence it’s going to be fast, bloat free, easy to install binary and not some slow website packaged in electron made to look/feel like an app or some NodeJs app with 1000s of random dependencies.
> If you look at the current situation where each SoC supports only one (generally very old and very vulnerable) kernel, I think we have an the reasons to be happy that they at least have to release the sources so hopefully someone can extract the patch and have it work on recent kernel.

The problem is, many vendors don't release their kernel sources at all - particularly Chinese pseudo-brands based on some knock-off of Mediatek reference designs come to my mind - and those that do release their code often show horrible code quality that would take many man-months of work to clean up enough to be included into the kernel, not to mention the lack of documentation and the tendency for these forks to fix undocumented hardware quirks for specific SoC revisions in kernel code.

And Google, the only entity in town that could push for better behaviour at least in mobile, doesn't do anything to help out on that front as well - there is not a single mention in the CDD [1] (the requirements if you wish to call a device Android compatible and use the Google ecosystem) mentioning licenses outside of a warning that implementers have to take care about software patents for multimedia codecs.

Non-phone/tablet embedded applications are even worse. I admit my knowledge is dated, but I came across a lot of devices over the years where their source code dump had u-boot versions that were half a decade outdated and so many changes done compared to even the version of u-boot that it claimed to be that it was completely infeasible to even attempt and migrate the changes to a modern u-boot version.

And to make it even worse: Modern "device integrity" crap makes the situation completely impossible to resolve - even if you had a decent-quality code dumps not deviating too much from upstream, you can't deploy your code to the actual device in question to test if the device still works because the device doesn't allow flashing unsigned/self-signed images, test points (e.g. JTAG) are fused-off in hardware, and even if memory chips can be flashed with a programmer (which isn't a given, since if you power the flash chip using a clip probe, often you power the rest of the board with it!) the flash chip content itself is signature validated. Oh, and it still can get worse than that given the rise of "secure element" co-processors that can be used to decrypt flash chip content on the fly - you don't even have a chance to read the firmware content without first having a code execution exploit on the device and then achieving code execution in the "secure element". The people able to do this are short in supply and most of them work in jailbreaking gaming consoles, not a 30 dollar Chromecast or similar appliance.

We need laws and regulations against that crap, but politicians don't even have that on their radar - how would they, given that a lot of politicians are fucking gerontocrats and of those that aren't, no one outside the various European Pirate Parties and affiliates has a tech background to even push for such regulation.

Google Finance is a much nicer looking product in terms of design, but the data it has is pretty weak.

Yahoo Finance has much more detailed financials for a whole bunch of asset classes. For ETFs it has detailed performance data. For equities, you can get (and download) data on stuff like dividend history, stock splits.

Just see for yourself. Pick a few assets and compare. It's night and day how much more detailed YF data is. The only real thing that GF has going for it is in Google Sheets you can put =GOOGLEFINANCE("symbol") and get the current price of that asset (you can also give it a second argument for other attributes, but the data on offer is pretty limited compared to YF).

"I have no idea how they think it is appropriate."

They don't see politics as a series of intellectual debates between sides with opposing experiences and views, resolved via votes. They think they're perfect angels and their opponents are an evil that should not exist at all. If they thought they could force you to vote Democrat as part of your job contract they'd do it in a heartbeat. If they thought they had a way to eliminate the Republicans forever and then ban it from ever re-emerging, they wouldn't even hesitate.

If you think that's extreme or flamebait, well, it's what US academia is now actually doing via these loyalty pledges and openly politically biased hiring practices: systematically erase the non-left from academic existence. It's what happened to James Damore, it's what your HR department would do to you in an instant if you complained about the inappropriateness of forcing employees to sit through left wing political material. They would love you to complain so they can identify you and eliminate you because that's just how they roll.

At some point, our society is going to have to face the fact that this is how it always goes with the left. It has happened throughout history, going back to the French Revolution. Having a left that doesn't try and take over to impose a dictatorship the moment it spies an opportunity to do so is very difficult. In Europe there is a similar problem except it's being done via encoding leftist worldviews into the European Union, instead of by trying to take over universities and corporations, and is arguably more advanced.

It's a really big problem and it's very unclear what to do about it. Society needs to (re)develop norms and taboos about allowing anything to do with politics into the workplace. Or it needs to radically shift towards the libertarian right, as a way to mitigate the risk of a left wing violent uprising.

NB for any lefties who never got the memo at the end of the 20th century, "the left" doesn't refer to anti-war anti-capitalists anymore. It refers to middle class culture and eco warriors - the sort of people the WSJ article is about.
It all boils down to capitalism. Capitalism won't allow you to spend time and money building quality, when someone else can do the same job twice as fast and for half the time. Getting first to marked is more important for most than having software that work all of the time.

The only reason that other engineering professions does things properly is that bridge building is not free marked capitalism, but government mandated rules. Just look at how much GDPR rules in EU does for actually making companies do the bare minimum to respect privacy.

I would never have thought about ordering coffee until i lived in an airbnb for 6 months, now im surprised how well it works, in the whole time i got only one half-spilled coffee and maybe 2 times it was a bit cold. What i don't understand is why did they stop doing the only thing that would have been necessary to fill the need? No app, no website, no drivers, the only thing necessary would have been to run a ghost cafe, have the partnerships with baristas/cafes, provide the insulation inlays/transport cups and use bolt or similar existing apps. There seems no way to compete with a general purpose company that owns a huge fleet of drivers, scooters, cars, can balance profit margins form smaller and bigger orders etc. It seems the primary goal was not to solve the problem but to build a startup and a fancy apps?
Making a useless and unreliable (say) toaster takes a lot of time and money. People notice fast that it's crap. Very few people are overly impressed by toaster styling and "features", or clueless about what a toaster is supposed to accomplish, or quietly intimidated by toasters, to overlook the fact that a crap toaster is crap, or quietly blame themselves.

Vs. with software, ~any clueless wanna-be kid can make some in an afternoon, at trivial cost. A PHB who could never manage to get a toaster designed & manufactured (let alone sold) can "lead" a team of crappy developers in creating some {cough} great {cough} new pieces of software.
I guess it depends a lot on the quality of your public transport.

Where I come from (not the US), in cities you have a bus/tram/metro every 5-10 minutes, bringing you everywhere, for a fraction of the cost of an Uber (which is why nobody uses Uber).

Places that don't have good public transport are quite remote, usually there are no Uber there, and if there is a taxi service it is quite far away so you have to wait and it's expensive.

Finally, moving one person at a time in a big heavy vehicle is less energy-efficient than having them in public transport (or better: taking the bike!). So public transport + bike again wins there, I think.

But again, it depends on the quality of your public service.
This is incorrect, Apple Care covers accidental damage, battery failure due to age, and warranty claims beyond the first two years.

Recently had to hand in AirPods Max for repair because they kept crashing, and they were covered under normal warranty.
You missed the point. It's not the part that uses standard interfaces -- all these SSDs comply with those standards -- it's the part not specified by standards that matters. For example, we know that some drives produce more heat than others, or are faster/slower than others, and sometimes these two are tradeoffs. For a small handheld device like Deck, it's important to choose a drive that fits the form factor.
Prices also reflect people’s purchasing power which is rather high in Switzerland.
My original case was considering a two parent family, so unless you're mentioning the case of two people and no kids, which would just be a different case entirely, I don't understand your point.
Thanks for the link. Interesting, I know Intel said they'd continue to support it, but I don't remember for how long.

But it still works as a rule of thumb: if your department has 100 people and you want to double its productivity, hiring 100 more people won't help. You have to hire around 300 more people if you don't change the way the department works.
Security done well is a bit expensive and boring. Thus lots of hacks because everyone is cheap and every one has a short attention span

> Rust is easy to learn. For seasoned C++ programmers, Rust is easy to learn. When they first start out, Rust learners usually spend most of their time making sense of ownership and lifetime. Even if they don't explicitly express these concepts in code, experienced C++ engineers always keep these two concepts in mind when programming in C++.

Finally somebody understands this.

Docker Beta Feature: Rosetta for Linux on Intel-Based Images on Apple Silicon
I randomly discovered this new beta feature. Because of some very specific libraries we have to run x86 images. This new update has increased build times and overall code execution by a factor of 10.
Looks great, congrats on launching.

I always wonder what web scraping tools use as their proxy solution, because afaict they tend to be quite expensive, especially for residential IPs. How are you handling that?
Nobody is against it. People are just reflecting their lived experience.

What’s sad and socially inept is that you’re demonstrating no ability to empathise with that.
The compiler calls it "variable" so I wouldn't say it's untypical, "variable binding" seems to be synonymous. I think I've seen "binding" used alone within destructuring/matching patterns, but in the end that fulfills the same purpose.

I don't see what's wrong with variable, it's not like Rust does anything special that warrants a different term.
> Protobuf, flatbuffer, capnproto, and the like keep reinventing ASN.1.

This is a strange argument in the context of your other complaints (which I largely agree with fwiw). All of them are much safer to parse than ASN.1, which has been a decades long security nightmare, and add additional security concepts on top.

Never mind that they're also networked IPC protocols on top of binary serialisation formats, solving a host of security issues we've had with exchanging serialized Java/Python/PHP objects over the wire, DCOM, etc. pp.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't?
I wonder what the next generation of SteamDeck will be like!
Yes, LLVM has achieved the same contribution level as the Linux kernel[0], yet where are the contributions from ARM, Intel, IBM, Apple, Google, Green Hills, Codeplay (now Intel), NVidia, Nintendo, Sony, TI.... into clang?

While Apple and Google have switched focus to their own efforts (Swift, Objective-C, Carbon, C++17 being good enough), there are plenty of compiler vendors on that list with forked clang for their proprietary compilers.

It is possible to buy the 64 GB eMMC Steam Deck and to upgrade it with an SSD, or is the hardware different?
Well, except that one happened in a time before the other, which was jossclimb's point, I believe.
> From what I understood the "back gesture" is not universal - sometimes you still have to use that Back link on the top?

It's actually universal when the App is built with the native UI components and it's part of Apple's App design guidelines. It doesn't work when the App is built with UI frameworks that don't adhere to this design convention. Sometimes even if the framework by default supports this, the devs can break it in an attempt to be creative but when it doesn't work, it means poor App design.
USB-C allows a certain pin to be used for PD negotiation. USB-A doesn't have this pin. USB-A to USB-C cables have a fixed resistor pulling this pin to signal which power requirements they support.

Badly designed devices do not negotiate power requirements and just start drawing power, which doesn't work with proper USB-C cables (which expect to negotiate first) but obviously works with USB-A to USB-C cables (which always support the same power requirements)

I realized that it'll be years before I can buy a Steamdeck where I live.

However, the frustration led me to discover something even better: it's possible to stream games to a tablet from my laptop (which is way more powerful than a Steamdeck).

So I bought a a clip on gamepad and attached it to a 10 inch tablet. The weight comes in within 10g of the Steamdeck and streaming over Moonlight is surprisingly easy to set up. Parsec is another app that looks interesting and you'll need to use that if you have an AMD card.

So now I can play an a super high quality 10 inch screen with zero fan noises and hours of battery life. I've played through most of Stray and it's a gorgeous game.

I still need to do some work - the gamepad I bought (Ipega 9083s) clips on quite low on the tablet which makes it a bit top heavy. It's also very cheap and the d-pad is a bit crappy. Neither is a deal breaker for a casual gamer.

However in the future I'll get a better quality gamepad. There's surprisingly few that can attach to a tablet but I've seen examples of people DIYing it with a Razer mobile gamepad that is designed for a Samsung Galaxy and it looks pretty easy. You can probably just detach the two halves and glue them onto the tablet cover in a stylish looking way if you have decent DIY chops and a dremel.

Oh and you'll also need a HDMI dongle to create a fake screen on the pc, then give it the same resolution as your tablet. These cost about a euro.

Bonus: I now have zero interest in buying a Steamdeck.
It is possible, that's exactly what I did.
>Arguing that an inflationary money is actually a better store of value than a deflationary one is not possible from an economic standpoint

See Krugman’s legendary article about the problem with deflationary currencies, such as the one used by the Capitol Hill Babysitting Co-op.

Long story short, he claims that people will hoard their deflationary currency because they expect it to go up in value over time. But if a large percentage of economic actors are hoarding their currency, there will be less economic activity and less output, and paradoxically, the value of the currency will go down rather than up.
