That isn't just specific to onboarding, this is just normal corporate BS. Corporate values and culture are just lip service and marketing slogans. You only learn about the real values and culture later on, by what the company really does and how things are really handled. That also includes later surprises like "our culture has changed, we didn't say so, but we now only hire salespeople anymore" or whatever.
Thank you for standing against lies and russian propaganda which doesn’t care about facts nor truth.

Their insulting comment is not based on anything real just as their arguments.

It serves as a form of mockery or dismissiveness towards you. It was used also to belittle and undermine the seriousness of the discussion. Typical for russian propaganda.
I highly recommend installing proxmox and running debian VMs. It's really easy and the returns are great.
> These people just want a dependable platform they control

Are you referencing Apollo/Reddit users? If so, I'm not convinced that 'control' is their main concern. I would guess that most users outside of the HN crowd care more about a nice UI, and of course being wherever all the action is. Both points do not seem in focus in any of the federated platforms I've seen so far. The UI is usually a carbon copy (at best) of whatever platform they're trying to replace, and the federation makes it less obvious for users where and how they get access to most engaging content. I am happy to be proven wrong though. The federated route is appealing to me on paper, but I'm not yet convinced it has good product/market fit with the general population on the internet.

You can even get burnt out on the programming parts of the job! Having to do a thing you normally like doesn't mean you will still like doing it when it doesn't inspire you.

Why did CodeMirror v6 become so complicated?
amazing to observe the enshittification of reddit and twitter in real time.

it really demonstrates the absolute hubris of some executives.
Reddit already offers an ad-free experience for $50 a year with reddit premium. Throw in Apollo with that premium, and you start earning $50 a year from a bunch of users who were previously generating zero revenue through ad views.
The conflation between "not a morning person" and "lazy" is completely ridiculous, and seems to prevail mostly in countries with a "protestant work ethic" background.

I've literally been fired from jobs where I was one of the better performers for the singular reason for struggling to be there at 8am every day, and where this didn't matter at all for the position if I started at 8am or 10am (for some positions it obviously does matter). That I often worked longer than many others didn't seem to matter; people take it as a marker and that's that.

5:30am is utterly ridiculous; that's just the middle of the night.
Correct. The only downside on some of those large speakers is the paper cones can get brittle and break, but when properly repaired they sound great.

Often the woofer on the speaker is larger than a modern 5.1 subwoofer.
That’s where federation is supposed to come in. The current rush is just a bit much for organic growth ;)
- Tried 23.04 and found too many bugs (I guess this doesn't count)

- Some day 22.04 randomly started without GUI and I couldn't get it back either with ubuntu-desktop and startx

- I installed a Python package without a virtual environment and it somehow interfered with system Python, bootloader broke

It's possible that those errors were recoverable but I'm not a linux expert and I couldn't repair it after ~2h of stackoverflow
> already upgraded the server as high as possible (16€ to 67€ per month)

No judgement on you or the dev using "as high as possible" here, I realise it could be a simplification in this instance.

However, I have seen a fairly strong pattern of fediverse servers being run by people with relatively few skills in system administration/web apps/operations/etc. It seems like there are a lot more people who are engaging with it on the same level as people renting multiplayer game servers, or installing Wordpress on a consumer-focused VPS provider.

And I think this is kinda great. I want the fediverse to be accessible at that level or even below! It does lead to issues like this though.

67 euros per month is a small server, and a single server is not the best way to run a service that other people are using. It's different when it's your personal site, but a social network?

I think the fediverse needs to figure out whether it wants to focus on making smaller servers easier or bigger servers easier. It's fine if most people are on million-user servers with teams running them, and it's fine if most people are on family servers that can go down without much negative impact, but this middle ground where people are on ~10k sized servers that individuals without the necessary skills are struggling to keep running on a volunteer basis seems to be a bad middle-ground.
I tend to use a lot of services from Microsoft, Google, and Apple to do my personal research, write my books, and for occasional consulting projects. There are a lot of trade offs and decisions people need to make for themselves.

Two books are useful: Surveillance Capitalism, and The Power of Privacy.

Not as much privacy oriented, but I find the Center for Humane Technology https://www.humanetech.com/ organization a good source of thoughtful material.

Off topic, but after writing my last book on using LangChain/OpenAI/Hugging Face with your own data (you can read it online for free https://leanpub.com/langchain/read) I am looking at AI and personal knowledge management from a perspective of maintaining personal control and privacy in a new book I just started writing Safe For Humans AI (and grabbed the domain with the same name). This is a difficult problem unless you either own very high end compute at home or are willing to rack up major cloud spend. Using top-K text chunk matching using embeddings (LangChain and LlamaIndex) is much cheaper and easier than fine tuning public models, but both techniques have their own applications.
Debian was never a purist distribution. If it was then there wouldn't have been a non-free section in the archive in the first place.

The sad truth is that the Linux distributions recommended by the FSF have approximately zero users.

I suppose it's more about the power mods, sometimes with help from the admins, aggressively suppressing certain ideas while allowing others to flourish. So maybe they don't need all those 2000 people...
I use NoMachine for Linux to Linux remote desktop, which feels almost as good as RDP for Windows on LAN and workable, but not quite as slick as RDP over lower bandwidth internet.

I've tried VNC, x2go, xpra, and NoMachine has been the best experience. NoMachine also has a free Windows client-only installation hidden somewhere on their website.
Personally I'm not adding anything... Just removing Reddit.

No more premium, no app. I'll keep my account/visit occasionally, but I have a feeling it's only going to trend worse

It's more taking back valuable time in my day than rage. I understand they need to make money, but a sustainable Reddit sounds boring/dreadful

Not on Fridays, no. For many years I've offered this up as a sacrifice for my little brothers and sisters who are murdered because of a "human right".

I find it personally revolting that people would assent to my own murder. I am the product of an unplanned pregnancy, and it is mere happenstance that I was not strangled, torn limb from limb, had my skull crushed, and my spine snipped apart at the nape of the neck, then carefully extracted piece by bloody piece, reassembled in a dish (to make sure that nothing was left behind to infect mom - abortions are "safe"), and dumped in a biological waste bin to be incinerated. I escaped that fate, but others do not, so I abstain from meat on every Friday of the year.

I do not understand why you and all the others would not assent to my grisly murder as an infant, as a 50-year-old, or perhaps not even as a feeble and helpless 96-year-old hospital patient, but you would readily take up the speculum and scalpel just because I had an umbilical cord attached.
PACE authenticates that the reader knows the MRZ data and derives a key for communication, but (AFAIK) does not prove the passport is real or original. A cloned passport would also know the MRZ data to complete BAC/PACE.

There is a further step called Active Authentication where the reader sends the passport random data and it signs this data with a public key that can be verified as authentic.
Lanarky: Deploy LLM applications in production, built on FastAPI
The first step of getting decent latency out of modern computers is to build a pile of cash that's taller than you then set it on fire.

They are optimized for throughput, not latency. If you want to do things in microseconds instead of anything from milliseconds to seconds you look at all the lovely code everyone has written in the last 40 years then throw it on top of the burning pile of cash.

I work in an area where microseconds matter and have to write everything from scratch in kernel mode C because nothing else cuts it.

This is confusing. At one point risk is an essential component of ritualized calculations, but then the same formulas enable ignoring climate change? Also seems wrong at the core as what we know of economics shows symbols and counting used to track commodities and the regular production and trade of commodities then leading to lending and futures and so on which indicates that however abstract and ritualized everything emerges from and continues to be based on humans meeting their essential and perceived needs.
To be fair so did ITG.
You often can get the part, but it’s expensive and with shipping and hassle you might as well but a new dishwasher.

Especially as a landlord, spend $200-400 to replace the racks or buy a new for $500 and pretty much guarantee no calls on that item for five years.
People buying desktop computers care about performance and price, not battery life or the fruit logo on the case.

You'll find it difficult to convince many people who are not already locked in Apple's walled garden and sense of consumerism around its branding to pay $4000 for such a performance, with limited RAM/disk, and no real path to upgrades or user repairs.

> most of these machines can provide better price/performance than most anything else on the market,

I agree, for better performance/price though, you wouldn't buy from Apple.

(A meta comment: I find it difficult to comprehend how people can become so emotionally invested in a company. Finding an excuse to every single shortcoming of Apple, not leaving any criticism unanswered for them.)

OpenWrt and OpenWisp are different. I run OpenWrt at home so I can install packages to block adds and ban IPs I don't want my smart TV to talk to. OpenWisp is for when you want to set up a bunch of WIFI APs like in a smal village or Holladay park. As far as I know.
I'd say this is the very definition of "overthinking it" instead of pattern matching.
Pattern matching would lead you straight to the correct answer - joint probability is always ≤ single probability. Meaning the information given in the question is just fluff. Pattern matching reduces to "Which is more probable: just A or else A ^ B?" at which point the correct answer becomes obvious.
The problem people have with it is complexity or personal.

You can run your linux kernel with init=/bin/bash and .... well, you've got a shell!

A minimal init system can be a shell script that starts some services. Job done. That has historically been the way to do it. There are also several other init systems that are native code based.

Systemd is at the other end of the spectrum. It will setup cgroups and resource limits, syslog sockets per service, supervise services, support socket activation etc. etc. And that's without looking at timesyncd, resolved, networkd and a whole set of other systemd tools.

I personally find it to be rather low complexity for what it offers, but it has a higher baseline complexity, so be prepared to learn along.

And finally.... The maintainer is a rather controversial personal of pulseaudio fame.

I was involved in the discussion, and I'm also torn on that issue, but at least you can disable installation of non-free firmware and install Debian without any non-free software.

On the other hand, firmware is a convoluted issue. It was always present, but became increasingly visible over the years. While I'm a strong Free Software supporter, firmware is one of the hardest parts to convert, because of the IP it entails and trade secrets it embodies.

I revert back to my Magic Mouse because I love the touch gestures, but most can be recreated with vertical mouse.

I actually rotate the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and Logitech mx vertical, usually last a few weeks or a month before switching to another.

This is terrible behaviour.

I can't express how much it frustrates me that every extension and every service thinks it's a great idea to launch new tabs or overlay the screen I'm trying to use with their self promotion about some new update or change they rolled out.

Unless there is something I have to know about immediately because there will be significant side effects (data loss, monetary, physical danger, that sort of thing) don't do it.
All kinds of things wrong? It’s the base for half the Linux distros. What could you possibly mean?
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here but I pretty clearly place all of the blame on the attorneys - going so far as to describe an equivalent scenario where they just make stuff up.

Show HN: I created a web app that uses GPT-4 to help balance my anxious thoughts
I've been living with generalized anxiety and OCD for over a decade, and I often found myself in a cycle of constant overthinking. Grappling with my own experiences sparked the inspiration to create something for those who might be sharing a similar situation.

Balance is a web app that employs GPT-4 to provide a novel way to tackle acute anxiety. All you need to do is tell it what's bothering you, and Balance crafts three unique interpretations of your situation. It's not here to diminish feelings, but rather to cast them in a different, less intimidating light.

It's by no means intended to supersede professional assistance. If you're ever feeling overwhelmed or in distress, seeking professional help is paramount.

I designed Balance with the aspiration to bring a little respite and fresh perspective for anyone grappling with acute anxiety situations.

I'm releasing it as a completely free app (I currently have some free OpenAI credits that are paying for the AI side of it) with the hopes that it can help you like it's helping me.

There are details on safety and privacy under "More info" on the website.
Maybe. This isn’t the Jobsian apple. This is the supply chain guys first product call. The jury is still out.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine appears to be a case where nuclear weapons made war more likely because they can embolden a comparatively weak state to be more conventionally aggressive than they otherwise would be because they can fall back on nuclear weapons if their aggression goes wrong. If Russia did not have nukes, it seems far more likely that western powers would have directly intervened in Ukraine, a version of the war Russia seems incredibly unlikely to win.

Would the threat of getting humiliatingly curb-stomped by NATO have been enough to dissuade Russia from invading? Maybe, but it would certainly have provided more of a disincentive than the current state of affairs where Russia can use the threat of nukes to keep NATO at bay. I'd bet a hypothetical nuke-less Russia would have stayed in their own borders and been content to get rich off fossil fuels. On balance, the existence of nuclear weapons probably still prevents more wars than it starts, but Russia having nukes seems like an exception to the rule.

After a couple rounds of beefing up my screenshots and description, I was still getting rejected. Each rejection took a couple days.

Eventually, I contacted support asking what I could do. I never even got a response, my extension just got passed out of nowhere.

I haven't hit any rejections in the time since. In hindsight, my suspicious of someone thought the name "Tabasco" may I have implied connection to the brand? I thought it was generic enough when I chose it because of the pepper.
