The average homo sapiens about a thousand generations ago faced greater adversity than what almost any of us has faced, particularly in raw nature where predators roamed. What were the cortisol levels like for that average homo sapiens?

We were always tribal and social animals, so I wonder if the security from communal living played a very important role in moderating stress and building resilience.
The problem is that a decentralized service links to a centralized service?
Yawn. The story that starts the article (that tells the same story about the trades that all of these articles tell) takes place in Connecticut, but in NYC, homeowners aren’t allowed to touch anything electrical behind a wall. You have to pay an electrician to do the work. Meanwhile, every year on the news there are people camping out for electrician apprenticeships (theres a shortage in the city as far as I can understand) and most get turned away.

Anyways, the funny thing is that if you’re college educated and willing to take things step by step, and buy a good set of tools, and read your local municipalities code (the most recent copy of electrical code in nyc is something like 180 dollars instead of being freely available, dunno if its like that elsewhere), you can probably do your own repairs, arrange a schedule to have anyone who needs to jackhammer and run a connection somewhere on your property, have the electric company run whatevers needed wherever and have an inspector look over the work to either certify it or tell you whats wrong.
Tom Lesley! The man's a writing machine. I wonder if we can get him to do an Author Q&A.

It's unfortunate but the Steam experience on Linux seems to be progressively getting worse (outside of Steam Deck ofc). The Steam client is often borderline unusable for Linux users. You can find many issue threads on GitHub reporting client freezes and crashes.

It seems like a big part of the issues is a lack of maintenance. TF2 would actually run better on Linux via Proton but VAC isn't enabled so you can't join the vast majority of servers.

Valve also has existing Source engine tooling that allows Linux ports to drop OpenGL entirely (dxvk-native as used by Portal 2 and L4D2) but they haven't added it to TF2... :(
> but Germany is in the middle of the transition to renewables and that in the middle of the transition you still use coal does not tell you that the transition is not working.

No, it shows that people believe in bullshit and actively hurt their own clean power generation capabilities due to decades of FUD.

And yes, however many renewables you build, you still have no answer for intermittent power generation.

> We also know that nuclear will have no meaningful impact in fighting climate change because it is too expensive and too slow to build.

Strange how some countries build them relatively fast (China can builds 1 reactor in 6 years, building several reactors in parallel, see Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant) while e.g. in Europe after three decades of FUD, scremongering and underinvestment, we not only believe they can't be built fast enough, but can't build them either.
> Most of the best, highly experienced people in this industry never post in chatrooms or forums. You're getting a biased sample, and don't know what you don't know.

With all due respect, you're just projecting your own experience and being dismissive in the process.

A ton of foundational work in modern computing was done in a distributed fashion and continues to work that way. In fact, open source software development hinges on distributed development.

Now, what I do agree on is that interpersonal connections with other, more experienced folks, is key. Most engineers seem to quickly plateau on their soft skills. I always say that coding is the easy part of software engineering. You can teach anyone to code. It's strategic and critical thinking and how to present and communicate those ideas that make you stand out.

However, it's very much possible to get those connections in a remote world. But it means deliberately operating in a way conducive to getting that face time. I wouldn't say it's much harder. But the company needs to actively focus on this.
Yes because theyre distributed through the app store.

If you distribute via sideloading - Apple cannot claim that they had to incur the costs of vetting each update, distribution, payment processing, security, server maintenance, etc.
> I've become a bit advocate of replacing lawns with meadows.

This is a great idea.

> The simplest route is to just stop mowing and let whatever comes up after a few years stay there.

This is a horrible idea.

In most suburban environments there aren't a lot of native plants left around to be spreading seed, and most of the plants that have survived heavy artificial landscaping and will propagate on their own are weeds (often invasive) that are nothing like a nice native meadow. They will look ugly, have thorns, spread like wild fire into people's gardens if not kept under control, and make everyone hate you.

A native landscape will be less maintenance and use less water in the long run (if meadows aren't native in your area substitute whatever is), but it will take effort to get it into that state.
A huge step forward honestly. Way more efficient than proof of work at wasting resources.
We can begin to record what we need. we likely won't need that much because language competence bleeds over as long as it's being trained on a wealth of other languages as well.

> it's not like they're using this for targeted ads.

Prove it. Right, you can't, because once telemetry runs you have no insight or control over what happens with the data. And trust is definitely not an option anymore after all that happened over the years.
Ah, no, these can connect to a PC over USB and to a smart phone over USB or NFC to generate a 6 digit TOTP code, just like Google Authenticator does.

They can also do more sophisticated things, but that's not what I was referring to here. Those sophisticated and more secure things are supported by Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Github, etc, but not by most banks. Banks are so slow with this stuff and still do SMS-based 2FA which is absurd to me.

My kid sleeps with some kind of white/brown noise since being around 2 years old. The child psychologist we went to with, now, the 6 year old recommended us to try to eliminate the noise. She seems to need it to fall asleep, but around midnight it should be easier, but we still have ups and downs with it. The psychologist said that it is a kind of a strain for the nervous system as it is kept being stimulated (at least that's how I understood and tried to translate it to English).
Thanks - just reading the article that you linked to above on your website. It seems like a very similar concept to state machines; can you help me wrap my head around how this might play with something like xstate or that concept?
I will be replaced and when it happens it wil be for the exact reasons I laid out above and there is nothing I can do about it.

Funny how these hard numbers don't answer a simple question: where does Germany get its power on a quiet night like April 15th (answer is simple: buring coal, gas, and biofuels).

Last year it's "failing" generators were taken of for planned maintenance. The actual failures accounted for 0.18% loss in power.

No, they won't unless there's no other option. If AI works out as proponents are dreaming it will, there will be another option.

I can't stress enough how refreshing it is to see this take on HN. The usual rise-and-grind crowd always seem to dominate the discussions - likely because they have that investment (emotional and professional) in the first place; I don't want to invalidate anybody by saying this - so it at times feels alienating to read these threads.

Apple already knows who is installing which apps and when they are executed.

So they can easily tie it back to the developer and simply bill them.

And if they fail to pay the bill, Apple can (a) disable their developer account so they can't sign new apps or (b) add them to the server-side block list that they have been using for spam/malware on OSX for years now.
Integration is poor. Some tooling is not aware of it and will diff or show the pointer file instead, such as Git hosting platforms. It is also easy to end in situation where the pointer file hasn't been smudged, and Git might not report a change and might make it hard to find what is and isn't smudged... at least that has been my experience when dealing with large repositories where I sometimes want to only pull large files in specific folders.
It's unclear to me if this only covers "check out mycompany.com for alternative payment options" links, or if your link could be a "Purchase Now" button that goes right to a payment form. If the latter is also allowed, then you could set up a pretty frictionless experiences that completely bypasses paying the 30% Apple tax.

For every Facebook, there are probably hundreds of stories like this in which employees get screwed or the company fails.
The key for me is spontaneously reaching out to coworkers who you like. Invite them to parties, or to disc golfing, or a brewery, or whatever fun activity you do that needs additional friends. I find that if a coworker comes with me to these activities regularly when we work together, that the activity and the friendship can continue after we no longer work together. You need to develop the out-of-work relationship early and acknowledge that you like each other's company even when you aren't forced to be together. YMMV
They don't actually fucking know what they are doing. They get these righteous ideas into their heads and convince themselves they're doing what's good for us. They ignore the consequences even when it affects them, reacting with a literal child-like entitlement and self-importance "you can't read my messages, just the other people's messages, I'm a special class of person, this is outrageous".

There are people here on HN who say they actually met at least one of these politicians. Check out this thread:

These are the people imposing their silly laws on us. It's a joke. I wanted to respect them enough to think it's all some sort of master plan to oppress us more efficiently but could very well be that they are dumb enough to back this without understanding what encryption even is.
That's not sound in general, but it is "probably" going to work for this specific case because the previous build was build with allocator that did not support this alignment, meaning that they did not need extra alignment. This is pretty rare actually. And you had anyway to use a custom allocator already with previous C++ versions to make it work.

More info: I ended up getting a ThinkPad which has one free SODIMM slot, and buying the extra 16GB from a local supplier. The RAM upgrade Cost about 1/10th of the Apple charge.

It was annoying that the machine only had one slot, and one soldered, limiting the max dual-channel RAM I can upgrade to 32GB. The max installable is 48GB on this machine.

Of course the apple RAM is on the package with the CPU. Why are on-package RAM upgrades so limited? Similarly why are NVidia graphics card RAM not available in larger sizes?

I would have said the same thing about allowing third-party payment providers but we will see. I have no doubt Apple could come up with some kind of "justification". Do they start charging for Xcode if you don't distribute through the App Store? "Xcode Pro", only thing that can build for sideloading and it costs $X/yr or "Any app built with it must give X% to Apple"?
This already starts from a big mistake, because telemetry can't tell you the value of any work you haven't done yet.

The question whether it can tell you the value of anything at all is a hard one that needs plenty of context, and nobody seems interested on answering. But your reasoning doesn't need this answer.
Exactly this. I bought my current phone after I dropped my previous one and cracked its screen. I was only able to recover access to critical services because I have previously set up some Tasker automation connected to my Pebble watch, which enabled me to navigate the phone "in the dark" enough to turn on AirDroid, allowing me to screen-mirror the phone to the PC. Of course, all the 2FA tools have this stupid idea of blacking the screen when it's being mirrored - but fortunately, I was able to turn on USB debugging this way, at which point I plugged the phone in and used scrcpy to show a fat middle finger to Google and plain recover everything from Authenticator.
>> Remote work levels the playing field, and normies hate it because they can't bully and abuse us as easily online as they can in person.

I'm not sure how remote somehow replaces social interaction in your world, but it sure sounds like you might have other factors at play as well, like categorizing every who's not in the group with which you identify as an abusive bully. I've never worked with you remote or in person, and the only conclusion you've let me make is you're difficult and unpleasant.

The problem with framing this as a threshold question is that it relies on Sorites Paradox to work. That invalidates it in my mind because it rules out 0, 100, and every number in between. There's no way to rationalize justification for a particular numerical threshold from non-numerical qualifiers.
It doesn't deliver for the company. Opt in telemetry is the same as not doing telemetry. Not because people are morally against telemetry but most people just click through. You might say that is a good thing or that is how it should be but that is exactly why it doesn't deliver the desired result for the company.
> Amazon didn’t take any action at all

This suggests they wanted amazon to accept their "irrefutable proof".

I hate fake reviews. I'm not defending them. But the fact that literally every site of significant size that offers reviews struggles to control fake ones should be a clue that it isn't so easy to manage.

Just google/bing "{big site name} fake reviews" and you'll find this issue plagues everyone, not just amazon.

There are entire enterprises that operate by this principle. Private Insurance comes to mind first. The problem with insurance and with this philosophy in general is that there are a lot of catestrophic situations you can find yourself in for which you would likely purchase no insurance because you can't ever see yourself being there.

The reason government steps in in cases like loss of job and provision of welfare is because nobody ever expects to be in those situations. But when you end up in those situations, having not bought insurance prior to being there, you will naturally find them pernicious. In order to prevent that from happening, government programs provide a kind of nationwide or statewide insurance policy that you are bought into by default just in case you should happen to need it some day.

You're arguing that you never will, and that might be the case, but that's also strictly speaking a risky proposition if aggregated over the entire population of the US.
It depends on how you categorize their products. In the space of privacy-friendly phones, Apple has a monopoly.
Hasbro might have something to say about that.
Here's another thing to watch out for in startups. The one I was at was wonderful and then about 6 months in to my tenure, they hired a CIO without letting any of the employees interview this person. The CIO was a complete PoS, you could tell they did not know what they were doing. After a few weeks, they hired their friends into positions of power and slowly fired everyone else.
That sounds like a mess.

You didn't. You clumped together different types of waste and pretended they are all the same.

And as it has been repeatedly shown to you, 97% of that waste poses no problem, and we know how to safely dispose of it. And the High Level waste we also know how to safely dispose of, and how to safely store until disposal facilities become available.
