No, it's not. You can easily build a cheap PC.

You may be thinking about 1337 gamerz gang. When you're going cheap, there're lots and lots of ways to save. E.g. you can get a fancy box or you can re-use a two decades cheap box just fine. Or you can live without it entirely... Cheap old power unit will work fine as long as you don't want beefy GPU. It's easy to get hold of older generation CPU/motherboard too which will work just fine for hackintosh. And then get a tiny SSD for booting (or skip this step entirely) and use an old HDD for storage. Keyboard/mouse cost peanuts too if you ain't going fancy. Old smaller display is cheap too. Hackintosh-wise, CPU/motherboard is pretty much the only crucial part.

Hardest part is to get wifi and bluetooth working. But you can skip that entirely to save money and headache. Personally I skipped it on my first hackintosh. Got it working during pandemics for shit and giggles though because a compatible part popped up in local ads. Now even airdrop and continuity works :)
Have you compared the Sensirion SEN55 against the Plantower sensors? I ask because I’ve recently picked up both and have played around with them each individually but haven’t compared them for accuracy yet. The nice thing about the SEN55 is that it contains all of the sensors in one unit (PM1.0 to PM10.0, temperature, Relative Humidity, NOX and VOC).

They do cost a little bit more than the Plantower units, about $30-40USD. For anyone looking at the Sensirion sensors, be aware that the SEN5x products span a range, and only the SEN55 has all of the above sensors in one unit. I’ve found the Sensirion software to be pretty nice to work with. I was able to port their embedded i2c example repo to ESP32 with little trouble.
it's a box? You could put a sticker on it, bedazzle it, or paint it with nail polish if you want something fancier.

Interesting, so in Winter, say the outside temp is 20F and inside temp is 69F, that's a 49F difference. In Summer, say the outside temp is 85F and the inside temp is 68F, a 17F difference. Maybe I'd get at best 50% heat recovery in the Winter and 25% in the Summer? That's a lot better than no recovery. I like the aluminum plate idea, maybe two big heat sinks with long fins attached back to back with the air blowing through the fins would work better and be cheaper. I like the fact that the CPU coolers are somewhat plug and play though, the fans are already integrated and power supplies are easily available. Both approaches are fairly easy and cheap to try. Wikipedia offers some insight on heat pipes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

So what is the working temperature range for CPU cooler heat pipes? Though they maybe be optimized for 100F temperature difference, CPU's also don't always run at full speed and maximum power. So perhaps CPU coolers would still be useful at lower temperature differentials (and lower absolute operating temperatures.)
He's talking about "Silicon Valley" which is an hours drive south of San Francisco. As for San Francisco itself, I still love it here. Downtown has been dead since the pandemic but I don't really go there so it doesnt affect me much. And outsiders seem to have ramped up their anti-SF propaganda quite a bit but that doesnt affect me much either.
Is it available in the Linux version of Skype?
I'm curious why do these company just don't freeze hiring instead of such huge cuts that have been shown to be expensive and morale killing?

You start firing people, people start refreshing their CV instead. Cooperation at work dies, toxic competition takes its place. It becomes more important to look better than your peers than getting stuff done as a team.

Kills morale, kills productivity, bad for the future. Instead by simply freezing hiring you could "remove" a similar amount of workers in 18/24 months just by the natural turnover that most tech has without the correlated drama.
You assume there's code, and not an Excel sheet.

More generally, who's doing the reviewing, and do they have the skillset needed (and how are they being compensated)? Additionally, are they limited to just the code provided, or are they going to review any libraries (who covers the cost of any purchases?) or external code?
Maybe, but given the powers the SEC have to prevent them operating in the US financial system at all, and sanctioning anyone who wants to operate in the US if they deal with them, it’s usually less risky to hand over the data and hope they don’t find anything.

Windows N and KN are still the best option to get working Windows without the wallpapers, game promotions, seasonal news in the start menu, weather apps etc. All windows editions should be like these.
It's not "nobody" because I've never been to South America, but I know the song well, sung by various male performers, or just the tune without a singer, and I'd never heard of Astrud Gilberto.

I don't think that "session musicians" should have an automatic right to royalties.
It is somewhat tiring but Gergely Orosz continuously makes the naive mistake of citing the company values as a critique of their behaviour. Taking a lesson from the "realist" perspective in international relations, companies are acting rationally. They are protecting their own interests. Both in espousing values they may not actually hold, and in dispatching with unwanted workers swiftly. In a high interest rate regime and with downturn in the market it is entirely rational for tech companies to shed workers with this sort of clinical brutality. That's why we've seen so many do it. On the other side of the balance under low interest rates and a booming market, we also see tech workers playing off companies against each other to improve their compensation or even slacking off work. This is also rational.

This kind of moralizing has become the bread and butter of his Twitter brand and it really is tiresome.
Ah. That makes sense.

Maybe it would be more clear as:

"The first annual Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference"

Instead of:

"The first Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference"

Putting "annual" in the title makes that meaning / context more clear to me.
This is why people should be extremely cautious against self-modifying software (ie unattended autoupdate) - it grants remote code execution on your computer to remote parties.
It's arguably a problem with the enforcement not keeping up. Many of these practices are in pretty clear violation of the GDPR.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but time and time again these practices have been deemed illegal, in no small part due to the legal hijinx of Max Schrems.
I think the confusion here is from you presenting a "yard" as an alternative, when a yard in UK/Ireland would be a space that's mostly or entirely paved or has some other artifical surface
My favourite anecdote is when an english bloke goes to the U.S. and asks if he can "bum a fag" from someone, meaning "ask for a free cigarette" in British.
He won't because it's Thailand. The air inside the house won't be significantly warmer than outside for a prolonged period of time. Not so in Finland.

Your best option is a centralized or decentralized automatic ventilation system with heat exchanging and humidity control. On top of that, the better the insulation the less the air is cooling down near walls/windows and the less likely the humidity is condensing into water causing mold. And then last, the less humid the air inside the house is, the more it can cool down before condensation is happening - so keep the humidity low not only with automatic ventilation but also by making sure to not cause humidity by cooking, showering (and breathing, haha) and if you do, air out for just a few minutes.
Well, yeah, that's exactly what I don't understand - why the heck aren't they interested in user subscriptions. This is so incredibly short-sighted.

The ad/tracking revenues can't be more than few bucks a month per user, can it? It's, of course, "easier" to do several large transactions than a boatload of small ones, but that "easier" is just a matter of respective backend scaffolding. For large volume retail transactions Stripe built it, many others did too. Given non-zero funding, it's not like it's a rocket science really.

A lot of people are very firmly hooked into Reddit. You ask them to pay - they will pay. But you start changing Reddit - their hooks will come off and they will leave. How is it not obvious to Reddit is beyond me.
The way US companies do these kinds of layoffs staggering. In the UK redundancies are announced, the areas of the business to be impacted are informed, there is a review period of a few days to a few weeks, you are then told you are being made redundant or not, you then have a chance to propose an alternative role if you wish and if you’re still being let go you will be told a date and a process put in place for exiting. At a large company this process can take a couple of months and the steps are made very clear and transparent.
Brilliant and horrific at the same time ...
Come on...multiple posts claim that here, but I really miss the environmentalist campaigns who drove that fire policies?! References? Please look it up, we didn't know better, and it was wrong but quite natural for the peak of the civilization that we are (/s) to fight and prevent fires. The subtone here that "it was the environmentalists" is really hilarious and shocking at the same time.. lol.

Blame everything bad on the environmentalists, ignore the rest we all did and still do, and just let nature rule! Hehe..

Especially, as while totally agree and true that it is right that this was the wrong approach, the denial that this is currently maybe only 10% of the problem is also funny. We lost nature, just wait it out and let it go its natural way here now until most is burned down and then desertificated, which will inevitably come. No more fire problems, just some others then..
As free as green electricity itself. You're just reusing the same attacks that were used against wind and solar.
I would love to be able to ship apps in this, with a code bundle, so we don't need to ship a full Electron engine for every app. Even better, I wish someone would standardise it so we could still write one, ship to all platforms.
If you are a homeowner, first start with your own house.

1. Insulation

2. Heat pump

3. Solar panels (more the better)

Depending on your location, this will be amortized in ~7 years, which is like 14%/year return rate. Excellent investment!

With some added benefits:

- Better climate control (less cold in winter, less hot in summer)

- Charge the car/bike for free

- Some green washing points to brag about ;-)
At this point you can find an article on any topic where “X is racist”

The sun and moon, the climate, even our response to the climate. Everything is probably racist if you Google it hard enough.
> They didn't.

How would you know? How would we know without actually auditing their books?
>> remote is far less effective

I think it depends on the type of work, personality of workers and maybe other factors. For example, I used to work in a team where we were each doing separate part of the thing and it was not too beneficial to talk about work. Sure, we talked in the office, but mostly about movies, personal stories and stuff like that. I did a lot more work from home because the office environment was distractive and I get distracted easily. I can imagine that remote would be far less effective if I worked in a different department.
It's a pain when someone in my teams meetings is in the office because of all the noise in the background. This makes me laugh because it's clear that there's a lot of distraction going on there.

"Communication" can also mean getting distracted or drawn into irrelevant discussion or being continuously interrupted by people wanting something.

I think it's quite ridiculous to claim to value personal presence in an age where I'm working with people all day who are in other countries and other offices - even down the hall - and that's all happening by chat and email and teams meetings. I really think it's about the way some people manage lazily by looking to see if you're typing or not instead of looking at results and understanding the work.

It's nice to meet people in person once or twice but I don't need to see any of them once a week or once a month.

I only manage 3 people but I have to work with a lot of people to get things done and have to understand their personalities and points of view and what they're doing up to a point. I can't come up with a reason why I would want to be able to look over their shoulder.
I would buy a couple of these in an instant, it's exactly what I want, except it's so BIG. I want something as small as reasonably possible.
Don’t you see a problem when that decision is being made on the basis of one of the brains only? We all have our ideal way of working and it is quite individual, by forcing one over the other we may get consistency but not best performance. In any case, this is in my view a power game. Now that market is soft let’s take advantage of it. Would love to see what happens when the wheel turns the other way around. Suddenly remote will be making sense again. On my end, I am only considering explicitly remote positions from now on. For what it’s worth, what confuses me is not the way of working itself but the expectation that I can switch from one to the other and change all the rest of my life, at the whim of strategy of the month.
nope, unfortunately it isn't. Learners needs tons of comprehensible input before they actually produce anything.
I am talking about employee PR. It makes hiring significantly more difficult for 2-3 years at least.
>The rest of the results are various reports of testing, research and trials.

Right, coz the technology, which exists and is deployed, is being refined before being commercialized at scale ready for the future mass market opportunities that are, as I mentioned, yet to materialize.

>Sidestepping the incorrect use of "rhetorical", I do wonder what it is about facts and relevant questions that get under the skin of some people?

I found it kind of funny actually. The number and nature of questions suggested a high level of ignorance (e.g. this easily googled one) that was coupled with a overtly arrogant attitude. Hoisted on your own petard so to speak ;)

I can't be bothered to answer questions from somebody who uses a deluge of rhetorical questions to argue a covert or overt anti-environmental position in bad faith though. One google to prove you 100% wrong about is sufficient.

Pro tip: try to avoid histrionics about "what to do when the sun doesnt shine and the wind doesnt blow" in future if you want to sound less like a coal lobby pamphlet from 2012 ;)
Until he or she is not, and then they will be associated with all this discussion of their GI tract on the Internet.

This is deeply gross, and the researcher should rethink his/her approach to patient care. This is not a cool puzzle. This is a human being, who is just trying to live their life without being doxed by their poop.
I dunno, it's adult language and as far as I know we're all adults here.

This is a bit hard to know what to search on. Where can I read more about the policy changes?
I know nothing about this subject but if these fires uncontrollably burn through land, they're not going to show mercy for anything in their path. A controlled campfire has wood and leaves. A large scale fire could burn up really bad material like rubber and other things that emit chemicals.
I had a short (5-10 minutes) commute through a small park/forest and it was perfect. Just enough time to wake up or decompress, but short enough that I could run if late and merely be out of breath.

That or an elevator ride to a different floor in a hybrid office/condo tower would be nice.
Afternoon deadzone might be related to what and when you eat.
the irony being that many readers probably attributed this to neil's sense of humor. i would have. "he said apartmently? what? aaah ... now i get it - haha - good one!"
But if something goes wrong they will grab this areas and several Km around, for thousands of years, banning people to live there.
Switzerland has also liberal labour laws and people can usually get fired with either 1 month or 3 months notice. This kind of flexibility in the labour market is clearly an advantage because the US and CH have some of the highest salaries and lowest unemployment in the world.

"Did you train the model using real world data?"

"Yes. We want the model to be useful in real world applications."

"Then it is biased. The model is biased because data it was trained on was generated by people and people are biased. There is no such thing as an 'objective' model, just a model that is biased in a different way. The only unbiased model is an untrained model, but it is not very useful."

That's exactly my point: using gettext and hoping to hard-code one language (typically english) as the "key" language and then sending it to translators who will try to map context-less strings to a different language is just not a good way of localizing software. I think the key design flaw is that it's the best solution to an unviable problem: the idea of adding i18n to software as a simple transform from one language to another (i.e. an afterthought).

The proper solution again, is using keys that provide the context. A special syntax for these neutral strings (e.g. prefix, uppercase, whatever) will quickly show where a translation is missing. Translating is then a mapping from keys to english, or keys to french and so on and never english -> french, even with gettext. Instead of "Zip file" you'd have to hard code ":filetype_zip".
Oh for sure, KeepassXC has some UI issues. And in this case, a glaring bug, thank you for making me aware of it! It looks like there are workarounds, though I'm not sure how much I like them.

I've already been doing manual backups. In addition, there is a feature to make a copy of the database before writing that I've just turned on. And the "Use alternative saving method -> Directly write to database file (dangerous)" option is supposed to prevent this issue from happening with cloud storage.

I wasn't in any way arguing KeepassXC is a layperson-friendly way to manage authentication credentials, just that it gives you the most security from the big identity providers (Apple, Google) selling you out for political or selfish reasons.

Of course, there's probably only so much I can do here. Apple could presumable ship an update to their OS that allows them to access a user's database while it's unlocked, or to keylog the master password.

A yubikey might be the only thing that can really protect you here.
Yep. I’d take, “You’re fiahd get the hell outta heah.” Over the Silicon Valley version any day.
Yes, I guess the claims did come from the employees. I'm inclined to believe them, as I had similar experiences.

We were also told that remote working was a great success and productivity had actually risen over a couple of years. Now of course they want us back in the office a few days a month because reasons. Since our whole job involves talking with people spread across the US, the UK, India and external partners (not with other members of our team), I'm not convinced there is any boost to commuting into a noisy office filled with people on WebEx calls...
Could it be that it just makes manager's jobs easier?

The coordination part can be much easier in person, but the actual work part can be much worse, and what you as manager care about, and get rewarded for, is just the coordination part.
table.hnmain { max-width: 900px; }

by the way, maximizing all your windows is silly and using css to avoid clicking on the maximize button even worse
A "trusted" browser extension that alters Headers "should" achieve the same result. I don't personally see the need to switch Browsers (e.g. Chrome) just to "masquerade as Microsoft Edge when visiting Bing".

Unless I'm missing something from the article?
Yes, but it's 280 pages. Which parts in particular address long term storage?

Searching for "storage" gives very few hits. This was perhaps the most pertinent hit:

"IT IS GENERALLY NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO
store electricity in bulk. The widespread
deployment of new storage technologies and/
or high penetrations of electric vehicles may
someday change this, but these developments
are unlikely before 2030."

along with this:

"Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is the
only other storage technology [other than pumped hydro]
that has achieved
long-term utility-scale operation.
...
Only two utility-scale CAES facilities have
been constructed worldwide: a 290 MW facility
with two hours of storage in Huntorf, Germany,
that entered commercial operations in 1978 and
a 110 MW facility with 26 hours of storage in
McIntosh, Alabama, that entered commercial
operations in 1991."

Not very much to go on, now is there.
Unrelated, but they recent change of the free tier, from sits to resources, made me switch to self managed backend.

I might be far from the 500 resources limit but I can't avoid seeing it as a Damocles sword on my infra :)
Two reasons:

1. Many of these companies had year+ long hiring freezes as a prelude to layoffs

2. Companies that overuse hiring freezes end up promoting over hiring in periods where there is open hiring as teams hire in anticipation of not being able to in the future when they might need to
For me, it’s more about the habitability of the European cities themselves than anything related to the relative commutes. It’s quite nice to be able to step outside the office for lunch or a coffee, sit in the park, and see others (of all ages) enjoying well-designed public spaces. Thats mostly impossible outside a handful of major metropolitan areas in the US, and then there, largely only in specific, wealthy neighborhoods. You have to get in a car, drive to Panera or whatever other miserable chain, quickly eat your microwaved meal, and then drive back before your break is over.
Could you liquidize the cake and still get that benefit?
Don't use pickle. Use JSON for stuff you can't represent in HTML forms.

For database connections, large datasets, etc (stuff you can't send off to the browser) use redis.

This is a trade-off between DX and UX. Holding session state means you need sticky session routing, and restarting servers kills your user's sessions. Plus imposing a websocket on your users is a cardinal sin, makes scaling incredibly hard, makes page load times abysmal, makes disconnects a nightmare for both you and your user.

Its fine if you're creating something like stable diffusion web ui though, which is meant to be a single user app.
