I remember that article.

I was particularly interested in the aluminium foil option given how convenient it is [0] At the time I also had internet issues, no wired internet available and slow 4G, with only a handful of devices in the household it's easy for a rogue one to consume all the bandwidth (mainly Apple devices which basically do whatever they want).

I actually went ahead and tried different tin foil methods, mainly the "big bundle of aluminium foil" idea, and it worked out pretty well as both an LTE and wifi blocking when I needed to reliably disable an apple device.

I found that neatly folding is a bad idea, it seems to be too difficult to remove the gaps, and so regular structures just make these gaps into effective antenna ports... but if you just go with the layered irregular approach, it seems to work pretty well. My armchair theory is that although it's still not a very well closed structure, there are so many reflections at so many angles with so many compartments of different shapes and sizes that even a broad spectrum signal attempting to propagate along those paths cancels itself out. To be clear, I'm aiming to create the longest path of propagation when wrapping these, so you can't just wrap around one axis and fold the sides, you need to go nuts, wrap all orientations and make it crumply.

The main issue with this approach is speed and poor re-usability, i.e covering and uncovering a device is slow and usually destroys the aluminium foil too much for many uses. Another interesting options to fix the re-usability might be space blankets which unlike aluminium foil do not break so easily.

I use very few apps, even on my phone. For most things I prefer the website. And most apps aren't substantively different than the website version anyways, in which case I will never use the app.
What it takes to make a suit fit for the Moon
Political activists and journalists are hardly the brightest group of people either, so you’re just assigning the opposition group that you prefer to align with, with a token of “the brightest” because it makes you feel good about it. How about you look at the rest of the society who couldn’t or weren’t willing to leave the country and who still run projects in Russia despite the sanctions. Are they not the brightest because they work and associate their career within - let’s say for the sake of the argument - Rosatom? That’s just one hard science sector of the vast energy industry of the country, for starters.

This makes sense for factories, but it’s a weak argument for knowledge workers. There’s a lot less physical infrastructure and we’ve literally just proven that remote work is effective for entire organizations within the last 3 years.

Did you not read my previous comments? The second a union is created is the same second it’s cheaper to move elsewhere for knowledge workers. You’ve even validated this argument with your “engineers from other places are good enough” line

You haven’t thought this through given your terrible logic, and your comments make it seem like you still haven't graduated and started work yet.

Russia has nukes, it doesn't matter how much we drain its military, it can just freeze the war, go back and rebuild. Let's say it takes 10 years. It's not solving the issue, just pushing it back to reappear later.

On the other hand a decisive win for Ukraine followed by western-integration success story there - would directly contradict Putin's core internal justification for keeping his power (west is lying ,democracy is bullshit, ruskie people are different and if we try democracy it would just be 90s again). If Ukrainians have democracy and are more successful than Russians (and Russians would know - they have families and travel) - this whole system (not only Putin - but all his FSB friends, oligarchs, orthodox church, state media etc) - break down.

Remember that they are constantly telling their people that Ukraine doesn't exist, Ukrainians are just Russians brainwashed into believing "western lies". If these western lies WORK - it's the end of putin & company.

This is the most likely road to a democratic, constructive Russia. Such Russia would be a massive boon for EU and NATO, both Russia and its neighbors wouldn't need to waste billions of dollars on weapons. And of course it would be a massive improvement for Russians. Actual rule of law. Local self-government with reinvestment of oil money into infrastructure & education. The possibilities are endless. But it would require Russia to go through the imperial cycle to its conclusion - decisively losing a colonial war, realizing we're the bad guys, dealing with the history, etc. You need the defeat for that.

If we keep Russia alive we're making this very hard. Much more likely it will become a big North Korea.

Ask HN: Rant on LinkedIn dark design patterns on mobile
Im back on an intentional job search and unfortunately started going back on linkedin just to get a wider exposure to job postings.
Am somewhat surprised by this but linkedin website on mobile (not the app) does not seem to have any way to log out from the account. I looked for a couple minutes and couldn’t find anything so it’s possible I missed it - but nothing is obvious.
Additionally, the expected place one would look for such a “feature” is the top right of the page - and that’s where the mobile site puts the link to messages. So it seems to be kind of an intentional loop into getting Users to view messages rather than leaving.

Am somewhat dumbfounded by this but certainly seems like a dark pattern. Phuck you linkedin for this kind of stuff. I’ve always hated this platform and know others share similar feelings (and know there are advocates for it - fair enough).

My browser is set to not store cookies/cache anyway so after closing the mobile browser I was logged out. But good riddance.
The DMCA explicitly says you're allowed to do this sort of thing for interoperability. IP law is very complicated. Really, as long as you have a license for the game this doesn't seem like it ought to be any different from time-shifting with a VCR. You buy an N64, you buy the game. You copy the game to another medium, decompile it, make it work on a different machine. Your N64 and the original cartridge are inoperable due to age but your license is still good. This does not give you a license to distribute, but at the same time the law is somewhat contradictory on this point, and it makes sense that it is contradictory because it's obvious that a strict interpretation would make it practically impossible for anyone to retain the license to the game, and the license is supposed to be perpetual.

Nintendo of course, wants to "sell" you the same game more than once, but it's also obvious that this is not consistent with the intent of the law.

You base your salary solely on living expenses?
Using triggers when you have a single-codebase is prone to obscuring where things happen - is it in code, or in a trigger somewhere? However, when you have multiple different codebases touching the same db, it can be great at enforcing things to happen in the same way across these.

> My adult life has been an ongoing struggle with addiction, depression, anxiety, chronic suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts.

In my experience, addiction tends to be the "hemorrhaging femoral artery" of mental issues. It is certainly not the only one, and maybe not even the worst one, but, while it is active (i.e. the addict is using), everything else is untreatable.

I sincerely wish the author well.

I think outside some FAANG firms with strong engineering management, the purchase of these tools is a top-down affair.

So as cynical as my statement may seem- " It's almost like they wanted it to be easier to just not take time off?" .. user ergonomics just doesn't enter into the conversation at all, because the users are internal devs.. who cares.

I also worked at an org that gave each of 50+ large customers a dedicated slack channel with.. wait for it.. the entire internal 200+ member engineering org in channel with them. You can imagine the mayhem as each customer figured out how to get attention (@here/@channel/@theguythatfixedthislasttime) and "hack the phone tree" as I used to call it.

This also meant the every one of our 200+ engineers was a member of 50+ customer channels which were filled with all levels of noise that 95% of the time had nothing to do with their app/team/function, and could/should be ignored.
Is this going to end up with a mega lawsuit?
I don't think migrations (at least as done by Django et al.) solve it - you want a declarative source of truth for what the schema looks like today, not a chain of changes that only tell you that after computing the combined effect.

Even if they just created a generated file of the final schema, that sat in version control and errored the makemigrations check (just like a missing migration) if it was out of sync, that would be a significant improvement IMO. But I think the Django maintainers at least would say they want the ORM DSL to be that. (But it's way too incomplete, you'd be limited to a tiny subset of postgres, and even then you have to be on board with that being a reasonable description of your schema, not wanting the actual db schema anywhere.)
There's an infinite number of those strings, but barring an edge case in the md5 algorithm, none are known.
The quality of the bricks is generally high, but set design is something they capitalise on. Instead of selling themed playsets with minifigures and encouraging kids to build new adventure worlds, nowadays they sell mostly pop-culture-referenced plastic display models with tiny finicky 1x1 pieces that are of not much use for general building. These models employ complex building techniques, but are not easy to turn into something else. They create an incentive for people to collect all the models rather than unlock creative potential.

> The act of creating cards is more important than the study

I see this claim repeated so often but I've yet to find any actual proof that this is true. Do you have a reference to a study?
It's easy to start with when your project is small, especially for quick fixes and improvements (e.g. total # of orders made by user), later it will become a mess and makes your project difficult to maintain, because you usually don't test your database in unit tests and database migrations are still a thing (from one db to another, from one type of columns to another and so on)

> The goal is literally to run the game on plateform it wasn’t intended for.

If to do that you would had to dissasembly the ROM of the Nintendo 64, or of some protection routine in the game, or you were writing an emulator (i.e. another program to interoperate with), it _may_ have been fair game. However looking at the code of the very game you intend to create clones of is not going to fly in any jurisdiction I know of. Much less literally creating the cloned games by directly copying the original game's code in its entirety. There is just no way to justify this.
Depends a lot on the size, polymer, and even geometry (thread, shard, or just blob). Unlike metals, aliphatic plastics have little electronic interaction. My intuition as a chemist is most will just hang out in the lipid membrane or in vacuoles not really interacting with biology much. But it could also be worse, such as disrupting protein folding, messing with DNA replication, or triggering chronic low-grade inflammatory response. We don't really know at this time which is why we need studies like TFA.
I appreciate the response, but the link you gave only states that the value returned by from_reader is strongly typed; it says nothing about what from_reader might be doing internally before it returns that value.

As mentioned the quality is amazing.

It’s highly automated but you still need people to watch the machines. Many Lego factory videos are available.

If this lets them source much of the plastic locally, it will save on millions of boxes being shipped across the ocean. That’s a huge reduction in carbon, even if the local manufacturing costs a bit more.
That makes sense (as long as device asks for PIN every time you use webauthn). Bank card uses the same logic: you present both card and PIN code and it counts as two factors.
I've taught HS kids for ~4 years so not quite the same demographic as yours. That said - and I know folks object to doing this - you have to play disciplinarian _and_ teacher. Set a firm culture around no phone usage and kick anyone out who uses one.

Like most business advice this sounds good as a one-liner, but isn't super accurate. There are lots of businesses that need to evaluate price elasticity and substitution which is more than finding the right point on the demand curve.

It will be the first US Lego factory in a while, but here is some history:

> The first LEGO factory in Enfield opens in 1975 – a packing facility for LEGO DUPLO® bricks. The elements to be packed arrive from factories in Billund, Denmark, and Baar, Switzerland – transported to the US in container ships.

> The Enfield factory is constructed as a “conversion ready” building with open steel structures which can quickly be converted from warehouse to packing, packing to production.

> In 1980, LEGO Systems Inc. sets up its own molding shop in Enfield, starting with 10 molding machines. The factory is equipped with state‑of‑the‑art technology. One of the features is an air‑drying system for plastic granulate, which must contain no moisture when it enters the molding machine, as the finished bricks would otherwise fail to meet the LEGO Group’s high-quality standard.

> In November 2000, the LEGO Group announces its decision to close the molding plant in Enfield and in future mold LEGO bricks only in Europe. Shutting down the molding facility is a step in the LEGO Group’s plan to improve its financial results in the years ahead – preliminary accounting figures for 2000 are negative.

Before that, there was a licensing agreement with Samsonite.

This is a nice time to remind everyone that Aaron Swartz died while fighting for a freer internet and a freer world. He is, by Paul Graham, considered a founder of reddit but is rarely mentioned in these stories.

Instead of trying to go for broke and grind till he could cash out, Aaron put his skin in the game for what the internet should become. Which gets more relevant everyday that the internet megacorps consolidate power, control information, and shape the public discourse. Reddit is one such site. They should be embarrassed by how they dismissed the ethical dilemmas of operating reddit in favor of making a profit.
I live in Hawaii and I'm not for either side, but I think you're unfairly smearing the opposition perspective. It's not "just because" that they oppose it. It relates to a long history of the overthrow of Hawaii and native people not having a say in how the place they have previously claimed as home is being used.
I feel like all of these problems would be resolved if the school had just bought Chromebooks. It's cheaper for the district to treat $200 Chromebooks as disposables than it is to get a MacBook air for $800 with $80/year AppleCare for a decade. Not to mention ridiculously simpler for the school to manage from a software and support side.

The company I'm at does a ton in network refreshes in the education space from E-Rate (government funding) for K-12 to ritzy universities. I've seen everything from Windows devices to iPads to Chromebooks to Android tablets to MacBooks and the schools using Chromebooks for assigned devices as throwaways always have the least trouble.

We don't actually care about emissions, not enough to do something meaningful about it. So we buy stupid electric cars and go on about cow farts. It's all posturing and virtue signaling.

Re: fossils. Example: http://www.museumgolling.at/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/9_Sch...

But there are other lines of evidence that work in similar ways. They are based on the discovery and dating of fossils at altitudes where that form of life can't exist today because it's too cold, and then from that calculate how warm it must have been at the time (much warmer than today, even in the relatively recent past).

The problem isn’t really that it’s hard to document. The problem is that when you don’t use triggers, you don’t have to consult documentation to know what’s going to happen after an insert (or an update, or delete…). People who haven’t used triggers would assume that a row will simply be inserted. But if you use triggers this is no longer a safe assumption.
