You haven't missed too much. The cosmic ray bit-flip guys have a point, but that is very hard to shield against and probably won't kill your servers. See this paper for a deeper dive. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...

In regards to the Faraday cage (grounded mesh), assuming you have a very good path to ground and a sufficiently robust mesh material, you are shielding against any emissions with a wavelength larger than λ. You will have better results versus wavelengths that are much larger however. If you want a deeper dive on that, you can actually read Faraday, or Wikipedia or just ask your search engine about a basic dipole antennae and work up from there.

Many computer components are somewhat shielded/tolerant of standard levels of RF interference in the environment so you might not even need to bother (depending on application). Normally (in my experience) you see problems arise with sensors, digital control lines and some human interface devices in very noisy environments (industrial facilities with a lot of high power variable speed electric motors).

Regarding aperture size λ, figure out what source of RF you're most concerned about, determine the range of wavelengths emitted, concentrate on the most powerful bands and then make your aperture smaller than that. Examples are 'the sun', cosmic rays, north korean nukes, the welding robots on the other side of
the wall etc.

Finally, if you're going to shield, don't half ass it or you waste money. Gaps around doors, or anywhere you poke cable through a wall can cause problems if not handled correctly.
I hate performance metrics in software development
They seem to go out of their way to not give an avenue of reporting these issues.
A base model Tesla Model 3 comes out to around $44k. When you add the tax refund, it can range from $37k to $40k.

The Honda and Toyota Dealerships I've been going to are selling Model 3 equivalents (Accord and Camry) for around $35-40k (and this if for ICE/Gas versions - their hybrids are just as expensive as the Tesla if not more).

When you factor in California gas prices and gas taxes, a premium/mid-level sedan evens out with a Tesla Model 3, hence why you see Teslas almost everywhere in California now.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Pronouns
How are disputes about roof maintenance settled among a roof tenant (the energy company), the tenant of the warehouse, and the owner of the building? If a roof is leaking but repairing the leak will interfere with energy production, how are repairs prioritized? This is an easier situation to handle when there is no energy tenant nor warehouse tenant but rather an owner-occupied who is also the energy provider.

> I keep getting promotions and raises and it's all very nice but makes me worried about being closer to the top of the list when the next round of cuts needs to happen

Don't think this way. Get all the promotions and pay raises you can. Unless you're way out of line salary wise, most layoffs are somewhat random. From the big companies standpoint who sees layoffs saving millions+, no one cares about another 50k-100k. And in semi-random times, it may help you because higher ups who have no idea who you are see title and salary as likely to know more and be able to keep things running with fewer people.
> Having even a few customers with unlimited rights to a limited resource creates intractable scheduling conflicts.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "scheduling conflicts"? I'd assume the problem simply that these people are using the free things more or longer than anticipated: Tesla has to pay more for the power usage, the airline has to give seats it won't receive extra money for. What does this have to do with scheduling, or how does some other scheduling problem have an even greater negative effect, as you seem to suggest?
NPM has no concept of dependencies of steps like make has for what people use in "scripts". It is painful to see people doing that all the time and then constructing their commands as long strings, which the tool they use has no knowledge about, using recursive invocation and having to write "npm run" again and again in those long strings, while in a Makefile it is all figured out automatically, as dependencies of steps are clearly stated as such.

It feels akin to handling HTML as a long string and fumbling around in it, as was done in the past in many PHP projects, instead of handling HTML as structured data, an XML tree or similar.

NPM package.json scripts is a Makefile for the very poor. Yes it can be used like that. Should it? When commands start to have prerequisites probably not.

OpenBSD.

Everything I learned about OpenBSD in the 00s is just as relevant today. The muscle memory all still works. Whereas on Linux I've gone from `ipchains` to `iptables` to `nftables`, etc. OpenBSD still uses the same pf.conf and it works great. It also has the most beautiful rc.d system I've ever seen, whereas I can never fscking remember what the flags are for `systemctl`.

The only downside to OpenBSD is that it's not so compatible with Nvidia cards, which is a bummer if you do anything with CUDA.

I think 'skill expiry date' is an underappreciated design requirement, and one that only gets more important for you with each year.

I worked on a monolith with 100+ devs working on it daily. Merging was automated as well for us, and a few unit tests were run on a production env — basically tests that asserted an engineer didn’t do anything stupid like add an infinite loop, or any of the other dozens things engineers had done that caused downtime. Deployment was done by running a script that took a lock, monitored the deployment progress, then released the lock. Sometimes you’d run the script and see people who hadn’t deployed yet, so you’d send them a message and ask if it was good to deploy. Sometimes they would say no if they found a last minute bug, so they would deploy your code for you.

Surprisingly, coordination isn’t that difficult. Humans are pretty good at talking to each other.

1. If you're still on bird-app, I feel it's important to ignore the "For you" tab and strictly look at the "Following" view, and follow only people whose posts you consistently appreciate. The noise ratio is so high now, and not just about AI.

> What they share across platforms and fields is less any particular insight and more a deep and abiding faith in the accuracy and power of a still-developing technology about which not much is known (and where what little is known is often kept secret by the private companies developing it).

2. I think specifically _because_ most people won't understand it at a deep level, and it is still a bit inchoate but with potentially wide scope, it _invites_ influencers who don't know or don't care to know what they're talking about in the same way as crypto, the web, DNA sequencing, or nuclear fission. We were promised nuclear cars and planes, medical care tailored to our personal genetics, a global computer that democratizes access to all human knowledge, and useful and ubiquitous digital currencies. Even when the tech is really transformative, the early pundits aren't going to have an accurate view of what the transformation will look like. And it doesn't help that we didn't hold the line on saying "ML" instead of "AI".

>My main worry in seeing this -- like all accessibility equipment -- is that it will be outrageously priced or locked up behind some kind of insurance coding so as to capture that segment of the market; most medical groups aim for VFW-equivalent equipment coverage on insurance, and I have no-where near that.

Our trains of though crossed paths here. I was thinking about how useful it might be to an able bodied person, if it would be fun or even beneficial to use. Like having a third hand in gaming would be nice sometimes. Then it immediately called to mind how outrageously expensive aid devices like this tend to be. For example an actually good hearing aid is like $2,000 for some reason. And a really nice robotic wheelchair can be like $40,000. So with disappointment I assume this thing, even if it makes it to scaled up commercial production is going to be out of my price range as someone who doesn't actually need it but wouldn't mind helping to fund the project.

Is the apparent price gouging because insurance might pay for it? Or because some people don't have a choice but to buy it?

My company provides a 24/7 onboarding voice chat, where experienced team members are always accessible for questions. This system significantly reduces onboarding time, with most questions answered within minutes and team members starting regular code contributions in days. While some people may be uneasy with this persistent voice channel, participation is voluntary. Newcomers can simply join, ask their question, and leave. The company culture prescribes an expectation that at least some seniors should be available for new people, but naturally the extroverted ones participate more often.

In my experience, the "remote work hindering junior employees" narrative hasn't held true. Admittedly, there is an initial managerial effort required to accommodate remote work. But then remote onboarding thrives. So, as you say, it's not a remote work issue, it's a cultural one. Or as I would say, it sounds like an issue with managers refusing to do their job and manage the remote company.

I take it you don't have real world experience with product management?

Adding options isn't free. If you drop a feature you can delete the code and stop testing it. It you make it an option instead, you need to maintain and test two features instead of one, even though one is only used by a tiny minority of users. If you have N binary options that creates a total of 2^N different configurations. If the features are perfectly orthogonal you only need to test N+1 things, but in reality, features may interact in unexpected ways, and you may have to test a significant subset of 2^N combinations to make sure you've covered all real-world scenarios.

And you will still get confused users. “Why does Bob get different results than me? Are you profiling me?” Alice complains, forgetting that she had turned a feature on/off in the options. etc.

That doesn't mean you should never add any options: many products require a certain amount of configurability to adapt to different user needs. But there is a cost to adding features, and a product manager should carefully consider the pros and cons. If “just make it an option” is your answer to everything you will end up with an unmaintainable product that is likely to confuse the majority of users.
> Have you measured if customers stay longer if you don't display the interruption?

That's not the right metric. I care about whether people buy things, and since I can measure that directly, it's better to do so than to measure intermediate metrics like time on page. Revenue is meaningfully better with the popup than without.

> Of that 6% how many actually read the newsletter as opposed to sending it to spam? Is that percentage more valuable to you than keeping people on the site?

Open rates vary from 20-40% depending on the type of email. Yes, it is more valuable.

I'll reiterate something I said in another comment, which is that there are a lot of people who don't think of this kind of thing as an aggravating interruption. Most of my new users come in because they click on Facebook ads, which are anathema to a lot of folks on HN but a normal, reasonable thing to look at and maybe click on to a much broader swathe of the world. I'm optimizing for those people, not HN folks.
I have hiked a popular ridgeline hike in the Jasper National Park area every year for the last 3 years, and I am 3/3 for grizzly sightings while on trail. The first was the scariest, we came around a bend and startled a cub with momma bear a ways off behind. Thankfully cub scurried off, so mom followed. Had we been more diligent with making noise, I’m sure the encounter wouldn’t have even happened.

The other 2 times, the bears were feeding on berries in fields near the trail. We made lots of noise, had spray on hand, but the bear just looked at us then kept eating; we made a wide arc around and carried on.

Definitely hair-raising, but not so terrifying that I’m scared away from hiking the area. They’re less skittish than black bears but don’t like people any less.

Taking a look at online listings for used cars in my province, the cheapest Leafs are in the $14k range for models that are about as old as my existing secondary car.

I'd crunch the numbers more seriously if I had to replace my secondary car today.

For some napkin math, assuming I only charge at home and my cost of electricity doesn't go up for the next decade, I'd be looking at about $3500 in electricity costs for 10k km/year for the next decade. Say the $14k car depreciates to $4k over the decade, that's $10k in depreciation. To match my existing car costs that leaves me with an average of $1720 to spend per year on maintenance (which, in my spreadsheet, includes tire changes/replacements, yearly detailing, any other misc parts) on a car that will be close to 20 years old with 200k km by the end of the decade. Might be workable? My current ICE car has run about $800/yr in maintenance after subtracting oil/engine-related costs in years 2-12 of its life. Leaf also seems higher risk - with my current low-value car, there isn't much potential for catastrophic failure (like a battery failure would be), and if there were a catastrophic failure, I'm just out the cost of the car, which isn't much.

Cool. I've actually been playing with QEMU internals a lot recently. Specifically with the multi-process experimental features. Although I can't seem to find any consistency on where the main project is headed. They admit that the documentation pages can be well out-of-date with the upstream implementations, but they seem split-brained even within the code.

The main project ships with the multi-process qemu approach, mostly defined in their docs:
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/multi-process.html
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/multi-process.html

But I saw some update buried in a mailing list that development of the multi-process system has been superseded by vfio-user, mostly led by nutanix:
https://github.com/nutanix/libvfio-user

The nutanix repo refers to an oracle-led fork of qemu with the full vfio-user implementation built-in:
https://github.com/oracle/qemu

So, they're still separate projects, right? Well, kinda. the mainline project has the vfio-user-server implementation merged in:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/ac5f7bf8e208cd7893dbb1a952...

But not the client side (vfio-user-pci). So, the feature is half-baked in the mainline project.

I don't know if any of the qemu devs browse HN but it would be nice to hear more about the plans for vfio-user.

I use make and GNU Guix. Quite similar. You take make as a task runner and a dependency manager/package manager as a means to construct a reproducible setup for a project.
I'm of the opinion that answers.microsoft.com exists only to mislead and confuse people so they stop reporting issues. I have NEVER seen an actual answer on there, and have never seen an answer that wasn't just copy/pasted by a stranger from an irrelevant Microsoft knowledgebase article.

It gets top SEO billing, and seems to be entirely unmoderated, or at least moderated by people who don't know anything about Windows. It's less informative than Quora. All this does is take all the air out of the room for an actual information source about Windows problems, and it's clearly ignored by Microsoft internal teams.

Indeed, personally I would never open a conversation with that, but I believe this is someone gussying up their personal hobby project where they learned how to use a CSS framework into a "real project" while they denigrate someone else.

If we're going to discard some projects as real, a pretty easy filter is "were multiple people required to build it". People who need Tailwind to provide their design system like Tailwind, but they are usually working on very small-scale projects they're unlikely to maintain and upgrade like a project with real users, real design, and multiple engineers would. And a pretty easy proxy for the latter type of shop is "do you have people who aren't even front-end engineers doing your design", and that commenter was displaying all those signals to me.
