Classic HN HOD...
snap store doesn't have good review process. you are pretty much running untrusted code with a very leaky containment solution (ubuntu is for works-for-me, not security or consistency)

same for things like mvn, npm, cargo, pip, etc. specially if using github links directly. (heck, even default git and git repos with hidden hooks etc. or containers with FS sharing that can then plan git hooks... so many entry points if you are a developer with trigger happy source download/build)

either trust your code reviewers (a good distro with no shortcuts like the above) or at least use that as a base and run things in a safe containment solution (hint, not docker)

edit: or if you have more wealth than sense, or are a security C-level exec who needs to cover your ass legally, there's crowdStrike and other pits to dump that money.
It would serve the public interest, as there aren't many affordable cars under $20,000. Chevy got out of the Spark production last year. If the economy can't produce enough jobs to afford rent, how do people expect to get to work? The Cash for Clunkers program at least got dangerously old cars off the road. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Allowance_Rebate_System

not really, you need to have an Apple-branded credit card to even apply for this. I don't think it's particularly difficult to get an Apple Card but if you have lousy credit this doesn't make anything easier for you.

For a moment I was confused that the PlayStation Portable would have x86 cores.
You could also just blow a fuse; we do actually have ways to do write-once memory for this kind of thing
That's also a great story! For me it's a lot less about them getting what they paid for and more about me recognizing that my own life matters, too. If we have a conversation as adults and agree that I should work +X more hours per week in return for +Y in compensation/vacation/swag/whatever, then we can do that as adults. But I'm not going to voluntarily put in more time than the expectation, not because I don't care about the business, but because the business doesn't care about me. If they did, they'd recognize it and compensate accordingly.

There's a guy who works for me right now who did some work last night (Sunday), and I've mentioned to him a dozen times that he doesn't need to do work late at night, especially on the weekends. He still does it. That's fine. Good for him. I'll be very flexible on time off in the future, but that's just me being respectful of his time. If he really valued his time more, he'd take the weekends and enjoy it himself, and I'd support that 100%, too.

It's important for us to realize we're all adults and we're all fully realized human beings with our own wants and needs, and as long as we can all agree on that, things will be fine. What ceases to be fine is when someone -- whether it's the business or myself! -- treats me as an unlimited resource with no consideration for personal time.

My advice to anyone is to do the 9-5, do a good job, and don't worry about the rest. If you want to put in a few extra hours because you're passionate about a particular project, by all means, go for it, but recognize that nobody else is asking you do to that. And if they are asking you to do that, then you should challenge it, even if you want to do it. Challenge it and ask for more compensation, more PTO, more swag, more free lunches, more flex time. Whatever it is that you think you deserve. More effort _should_ result in more reward. And if it doesn't, you're in the wrong place.

> This means that targeting ios is easier

I don't think so? Android devices are much more likely to be vulnerable to well-known exploits. Stealing keys and passwords of course is much easier if your app can get root on the device.
That's how you get a capacitor shortage :)
I've mentioned this before. Find "Orwell, the Lost Writings", for his own descriptions of his years at the British Ministry of Information. One of his jobs was translating news broadcasts into Basic English, the 1000 word vocabulary. Simplified news was broadcast to the colonies (India, Hong Kong) for non-native English speakers. Orwell discovered translating into Basic English was a political act. Ambiguity had to be hammered out, which involved decisions about what was meant.

Hence Newspeak.
are there enterprise grade products that don't end up spending a large amount of time providing enterprise services?
Look at how much money is made in industries like Check Cashing, debt "recovery", payday loans, and prepay debit cards and you might start to understand what it means when people say "being poor is expensive".
You can't cheat thermodynamics! If it's being absorbed by the panels (rather than reflected) then it's absolutely becoming waste heat. Solar panels look dark blue/black because they're absorbing most of the light that hits them. This is why them overheating is a problem that can affect performance. If they were mirrors they wouldn't overheat at all, but they also wouldn't be able to produce any electricity.
It was super applicable just 3 years ago, anyone who hopped into zoom/snowflake/mongodb had a nice few years.

I had the same exact situation. I used the Apple card almost exclusively in 2022 because of the 1% card + 2% apple pay rewards.

Doing taxes right now and I spent about 10 minutes manually exporting+emailing OFX/QFX files to myself for Quicken. Kind of a pain. Every other card I have supports automatic data pulling.

Probably will move my main card to something that has automatic integration.
What do you consider rush hour? The website I cited lets you choose a time.

Well myself personally, I fly enough that it makes sense to have TSA PreCheck and Clear. But I wanted to find more relevant data than my anecdote - ie a few people in the Clear line and skipping to the front of TSA.
I genuinely struggle to imagine (realistic) scenarios where cloud is cheaper but I am definitely interested in where that would be the case.
thank you for again demonstrating russian propaganda gish gallop

of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law,

but suffice it to say that russia, who never apologized for genociding millions of Ukrainians, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and latest attempted genocide of, Ukraine
It definitely is for the random devices being sold on German stores, usually with repeated discounts until finally someone takes them away.

Most of the time it is not possible to enable it.
The total cost of ownership is much lower for EVs than gas cars though.

I just spent over $100 filling up the gas tank of our backup car. We used to fill it about once a week. That's $5200 a year in gasoline at current prices. So, if the EV lasts 6 years (ignoring the discounted value of money over time, and the ever increasing cost of gasoline), it costs negative $4200 vs. whatever the retail price of the ICE car is.
Preinstalled and unremovable, sure. I've never heard of Facebook being given root, though? Do you have any more info about this?
Japanese and European car manufacturers can just source batteries from somewhere else other than China, then problem solved.

I believe the regulations explicitly call for a % of battery components to be US/NA-sourced. So, it's not just "ditch China" but also "buy American."
The food pyramid and its replacements come from the USDA. They're there to sell farm products. And maybe help with nutrition for farm workers.
It kinda goes hand-in-glove with the whole "democracy of the citizens" thing, is the underlying philosophy underpinning things like truancy law.

If you're going to force the responsibility / obligation on everyone of being citizens in a democracy, you've kinda obligated yourself to make sure they aren't too plug-ignorant to self-govern successfully.

Yep. It's not like either sysadmin or devops are harder than or easier than the other... they're just different.

Actually, seems like managing k8s is an order of time expenditure greater than managing an old-school F5 with a bunch of Unixy web servers behind it.
Preventing evaporation on your aqueducts and canals definitely isn't a bad thing though. That water is precious and you want to lose as little of it as possible.
Sales tax is different than federal income taxes for services like social security and the like, as not all states levy a sales tax... "No taxation without representation" was one of the better insights to come out of the American Revolution, and has never gone far enough. I'm of the mind that anyone that can prove that they're a long-term tax-paying resident should be able to vote.

I am interested in hearing more opinions about why children should specifically not be allowed to vote though, these always tend to devolve to "kids are dumb" or "aren't mature enough to make that kind of decision" but under that reasoning I don't think they should be working fields, driving cars, playing full-contact sports, etc... what kids can and can not do seems to be dictated by the economy and ruling class more than what they're actually capable of or what's good for them.
Pros:
Reduces evaporation
Cools the panes so they’re more efficient
Uses otherwise unused space

Cons:
More difficult to install and maintain
Less efficient for management since the panels are in long thin tracts rather than square ones

Pros seem to outweigh cons in initial pilot deployments

The EU is pushing for (has already ratified?) rules against even pre-installing Apple apps, or at least making it easy to remove them. I’m certain that Apple, who sells their phones directly, will be able to keep the carrier bloat at bay.

But I also share that concern. It’s one reason I don’t use android as a daily driver.
The kernel (Parasolid) is closed source as well as many of the back end bits of Onshape, but all the code behind the standard features that is written in FeatureScript is under an MIT license (the Onshape Standard Library).

Vulkan is okay.

Proton has the energy of open source clones of video games.

There’s a reason games aren’t made for Vulkan, even on platforms like Android.

It’s not just because there is a lack of market share.

Valve’s immense resources would be better spent on making Source Engine work for more game genres; itself support Vulkan better, or even default to Vulkan on Windows; make it fully free. If they really felt strongly about this.
But that doesn't limit the rocket size in any way, only the fraction of its mass that can be used for payload. That limit does not depend on total mass of the rocket. Is there something that makes larger rockets less feasible than smaller rockets with the same payload mass fraction?
Hum... In principle, we can require that a police force must exhibit more intelligence than our immune system.

We are talking over a pile of evidence pointing that this doesn't always happen. But it's quite a jump to conclude that it can't ever happen.
Bankers might not be a good example. US investment banks work their staff notoriously hard to the point of people actually dying on the job from overwork. But, I've repeatedly heard from people who have lived through it, that the work they were doing was largely wasted make-work and the whole thing had a large degree of hazing ritual about it. One guy I talked to had quit and moved to SF to try and join the tech world because he felt the work/life balance was a lot more sane there.
"with Windows 11 being kind of terrible"

Curious what you dislike about it - I've felt the UX is a big improvement over 10 personally. Feels like they've adopted some patterns from OSX for the better. I use it less and less these days, but it works great for me as a gaming OS.
Yeah school is a dead end for many kids ....it's just a forced babysitting thing.. the establishment of course wants kids in school so they can brainwash them ...oops, I mean "educate" them
I don't quite see how that's relevant to what I said.
All that indoctrination and control kills productivity. Maoist China and East Germany fell into that trap.

Father is a plumber, mother is an accounter. I had a problem with understanding fractions, mom helped me. There was no more help, because I understood everything else myself and they don't know more advanced topics, because they had school program long ago. My brother is decently educated and knows school program, but can't help his kids - they just don't understand (their (modern) school has zero discipline).

This video came to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPrnZAUi0l0

The reaction of the correctional officers to finding a feather in the inmate's cell is particularly poignant. The TV can stay, but any means of creative expression has to go.
I get that there’s strong vested interests trying to discredit him. But “selective editing” doesn’t describe the dozens (hundreds?) of videos he filmed when the Federal courthouse in Portland was under siege and he was routinely attacked by the masked terrorists trying to burn down the building.

Does it surprise me that his detractors would claim he is “neo-nazi-friendly”? Not in the slightest. The “anti-fascists” routinely claim the people they brutalize are fascist nazis - it’s a form of projection / deflection.
It does on phones, where content has to be slimmed down.
It's kind of even worse: since public cloud became very popular, the profile of infrastructure programmers changed. A lot of knowledge necessary to run own infrastructure disappeared, being replaced by the knowledge of how to operate the service.

So, for example, things like PXE boot, which would be useful in your own datacenter, but don't work (well) in clouds s.a. AWS become mystery. Obviously, this isn't limited to just PXE.

And since public cloud's goal is to provide service to as many customers as possible while having as few staff infra engineers, the total expertise among general public disappears. Having worked in the infra business for a while -- it's increasingly more difficult to hire infra engineers.
I'm already waiting for creative NIMBY counter-arguments.

A proper AI assistant deployment should be very strict in the kind of resources it allows its agents to access. It can't just send them everywhere willy-nilly, and in fact, the more selective it is, the better for both itself and the user. So what are some good rules for allowing or blocking agent access?
One rule is that an agent should only be given access to resources necessary for its job description. For example, a chatbot should only have access to the data required to answer customer questions (assuming it's not an ELIZA-type AI which just repeats what you say back at you).
Another rule is that agents shouldn't be

I have some fond memories of Nintendo games from my childhood, but I've basically sworn them off as an adult, due specifically to these kinds of abusive behaviors.

I'd kind of like to play Breath of the wild, or some of the newer Pokemon games. But not enough to support this kind of nonsense.

These days, most of my gaming happens on a PC, with a little bit on Android. If a game isn't available there, then I just probably won't play it. (I know there's emulation, but meh.)

When my son got interested in gaming, I didn't buy him a switch - we built a PC together. Nintendo is slowly but surely killing themselves.
As a member of that community, I am happy about this (and appreciate the consideration for our happiness - it's not something we're accustomed to).

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but the kinds of canals we skate don't contain flowing water. Sure, there are rivers with engineered concrete river beds in metro areas that might have a smaller channel with water, but the skateable parts are dry (Santa Ana river, Los Angeles River, etc).

Concrete river beds are also more of a novelty than they are enjoyable. The concrete is like corduroy. It takes a lot more effort to move, and when you fall, you leave smeared portions of yourself behind.

The canals the article talks about are much smaller, and typically serve agriculture in Central California with edge to edge flowing water. When dry, those can be fun, but again, they're not the first on my list of fun places to skate (which isn't to say they're not fun, just not as fun as other places). They're full of debris, very rough, and lose their appeal pretty quickly.

Personally, if losing those spots means more efficient use of water, it's a very small price and one I'm willing to pay.

USA isn't really known for seizing companies and nationalizing them. It would just force a sale to another USA company.
A thing I noticed about “guarantees” with tours similar to those, is they don’t refund money, they offer a future tour for free (non-transferable).

So the guarantee is a signal that it’s likely to happen, but if I’m in the area on vacation, I’m very unlikely to use the guarantee. Who wants to do the same event again on your limited time, even if they aren’t already booked up?

And knowing this it changes my expectation from “definitely seeing this” to “yeah, probably”
No, sounds like you got it.
Good. What's the problem?
If I as a parent object to a drag show at my kids primary school, I am certainly not doing so to be mean to a trans person or want to deny them from being who they are.

Instead, I am denying them a platform to influence my innocent and impressionable child to become that, which in a free society they are welcome to do when they're of age and understand what they want. But I won't allow the possibility that this thing is steering them into an unattural direction. This is indistinguishable from targeted brainwashing and I won't know if it's because they are actually like that, or if it was because they got brainwashed during their early years.
