This comment was not clear. Odometer in car computer can be changed too. There exists special obd command to do this (when you need to replant ECU between engines), but you need to have a password (which is provided with "official" diagnostic computers/tools). If car has no mechanical odometer (most new passenger cars today don't), this is the only way to change odometer values.

You can actually run the controller with a plugin too! Worked great, didn’t have any issues when I was still using my ubiquiti switches and AP.
I know plenty of people who are exceptional at their trade that could not care less about most of their coworkers, especially their personal lives. Maybe it's not the culture fit you're looking for or something, but I glean that you believe that their interest in your success is indicative of their work output and ethic. That's just not true. In fact, sometimes it's the people who pretend to be the most excited are also providing the least value. Work is about putting on a show to some people; and other people are tired of that show and just want to do a good job to avoid any potential problems and then go about their own personal lives.

My attitude about work is a bit more on the obsessive side, though I recognize one does not need to be obsessive about their work to do an excellent job.
That’s why we’ve worked so hard to eliminate waste! We’re always buying carbon offsets for a greener tomorrow!

You are quite right to point out that I glossed over the RHL -> RHEL -> Fedora -> RHEL history. Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I was referring only to today’s community contribution workflow and what I considered the fair but now previous tacit agreement between RedHat and the community of spec patch contributors and packagers. We contribute to the packaging repo and RedHat makes that repo, even the “forked” RHEL branches, available in real-time, minus embargoed security fixes.
This is propaganda, trying to explain current conditions in a way to fit their preferred narrative. This is like claiming that if you sneeze that causes you to get a cold.
Same with Google Maps. It’s really annoying.
We all knew this was gonna happen after the purchase, the switch to stream was just the canary. No admins I knew planned on staying with RHEL clones and now there is going to be no clones with any meaningful support out there. This is going to limit the choices of the linux shops a lot but that happens when youre not rolling your own ... you got to buy someone elses.
To save some people a click, the headline made me assume this was something like CoreOS, but this is in fact the opposite.

It's not a traditional Linux distro you can actually run standalone, it's just another base for building OCI containers.

Interesting post. Edge actually (by default) treats tabs as separate windows for Alt+Tab purposes.
They could've just improved Alpine's supply chain (or built on top of it) rather than making a new distro :( But they're a company, so pushing out new products faster is more important than the community.
This does make a bit of sense; Edge on Windows logs you into 365 and keeps the authentication around. So company links/attachments on Outlook can open easier on Edge using the 365 credentials. Now, if only they were actually smarter about which 365 profile's mail you are reading in Outlook (for those of us that are working across multiple orgs) and open the link under that profile on Edge, that would be awesome.

Edge makes a lot more sense as a smarter 365 client than it does as a browser, but it's not a bad browser either.
For many systems at the start they don't need it. But obivously for more complex systems they will which is why it's super high on the todo list.

For more complex and mature applications there are tons of functionality still needed. Tax reports, subscription reports, auditing, webhooks, etc. But I wanted to get something released so I could start getting feedback on what to work on first instead of just guessing what needs done and never releasing.

As is, for indie hackers it'll get the majority of the job done and more. And for quite a few SaaS platforms. It's when it comes to mature applications is where it's just not there yet.

The price of a pound of oats at the regular grocery store has trebled over the last year to 5.00/lb. Meanwhile if you buy them in 25 lb bags at Cash and Carry they’re less than 80 cents a pound. Someone is gouging like crazy.
It's not weird at all, it's basically normal human group psychology, as near as I can tell, looking through history. Your in group has a set of beliefs, the out group has other beliefs, it's what makes them others and worth competing against/destroying if needed. The major societal improvement that is science gives one a decent algorithm for changing ones mind. I believe being able to point at the algorithm is a very overlooked part of why we began to be able to change our minds more effectively and less violently as a society.
I ran sales for a start up and as much as I hated these types of questionnaires - it was a huge competitive advantage to have someone who knows their stuff (a founder who wrote most of our code) complete them fast and get them back.

It's competitive out there. Using an advantage to your company's benefit as a founder is your job - not work that is beneath you. Fill it out and bring some money in.
I should also 'know better', yet I still use chrome despite a growing distrust of google.

I agree with the parent comment's observation that it's no good blaming users; other browsers need to make a compelling case. There's a saying in YC lore that a new app has to be an order of magnitude better for people to switch, but I think other browsers are approximately as good as chrome (but not 10x better).

The greatest concern for me is privacy; I presume the org who makes the browser sees a list of every action I do on the internet, so I have to be able to 1. know who they are and 2. trust them (or, distrust them less than I do Google).

There's probably also some 'safety in numbers' heuristic to browser choice too.
All of that is fair. Sorry to hear about your health issues - that's totally understandable.

Just wanted to push back a little against your initial snark :)
I did have a weird thought, in a organisation as big as FedEx, would they have a pool of spare engines to minimise downtime? You could get unlucky and get a can with an engine that's been through a few chassis and end up with an ECU that knows the engine has done 400k miles whilst the chassis has only done 180k?

Although that's probably a mad theory, if there is hijinks it probably is the good old fashioned kind, probably from this 3rd party middleman rather than FedEx themselves though.
Thanks for sharing your experience. To what extent do you trust Finkel‘s writing here?
HDR is currently experimental.

Red Hat is working on getting it integrated, and Valve have it in their display manager.

But for general users, out of the box, no.
Mozilla seems to be entirely disinterested in it...
Ditto for Google Maps. The choices, in order, are:

- Chrome

- Google (?)

- Safari

- Default browser app

I don't know what "google" is, but I don't even have chrome installed. If I click it, it sends me to the app store.
> OK: 9494 distinct packages available

I opened that apkindex file and it had duplicate entries for a ton of packages with different versions, taking a look at https://github.com/wolfi-dev/os I only see about 840 yaml files which I assume define the packages. I don't think claiming to have 10k packages when only 10% of them are actually different pieces of software is a good claim to make. Nixpkgs would have millions of packages if we added up every single unique package from every revision.

Presumably this was through auctions like copart. They operate on the basis of “this is the info, these are the pics, good luck!”.

Now, if, for example, you buy a car that is advertised as runs & drives and it turns out the car does not, in fact, drive - you can talk to them and have them buy the car back or whatever. This happens every now and then. But aside from that, you’re SOL.

I’ve purchased a number of cars from them, and one issue that comes up fairly often is that they load the cars via forklift. Often, the forklift will cause damage to the underbody that was not present previously. In cases like that, you’re still pretty much SOL.

Same as for e.g. refrigerated containers (reefers), you add foam or glass wool cladding. Heating and cooling can be done with the usual heatpump/AC machines available.
1) Have jobs that pay well, and do a pretty good job of saving for years and years. There are several reasons that, despite the prominence of young founders in pop culture, successful founders in fact tend to be quite a bit older—that's one of them.

2) Family money. Either have access to it directly, or be personally "poor" but with an excellent safety net in the form of rich (-enough) relatives who won't let you really suffer if things go poorly (and may help fund your business, even). Doesn't need to be, like, Rockefeller money, either—parents who can guarantee you a place to live, comfortably cover your living expenses for a while, give you the occasional four or five figure interest-free loan without putting their financial security at risk, that kind of thing, can be enough to eliminate most of the personal risk of trying to start a business.

Constant AB testing and AI garbage is what would happen. The next frontier of advertising is GPT tailored content with ads added inline. You take the base content and run it through to subtly add a reference to the product being advertised in exactly the way that has been proven to be effective to the user. Perfect targeting.

Particularly with company/fleet trucks or cars, you normally have an "own" paper log with all the repairs and maintenance performed, so, if you are in good faith, if the odometer breaks at (say) 190,000 miles and the new one reads 110,000, you can easily prove that the vehicle is at 300,000.

When you sell that vehicle only stating "odometer reads 110,000" you are inducing the buyer into error (lying by omission, and you are in bad faith as you have the documents that reveal the real mileage).

For those rare cases where there is no such documentation there is usually the formula "mileage unknown" or similar, but usually it draws the price down to the minimum.
Speaking for myself, the first form is more natural- even if it’s a useless cat, because I’m always cat-ing files to see their structure. Then progressively tacking on different transforms. And then finally putting it in whatever I want as output.

It’s so ingrained, I’m more likely than not to just write it out that way even when I know exactly what I’m doing from the onset.
You are right in the fact that for complex systems, it will always be quicker to use an off-the-shelf solution than making your own. However, for maintainability, the most important metric is the raw amount of code, followed by the engineers' abilities and the code's level of documentedness.

So, if you can replicate what you need with a third of the code, you are already in a much better position (and can fix your own code quicker than a third party's!) than if you had to wait for the vendor/a poor guy reviewing your pull request.

The canonical reference is "Modern Fortran Explained: Incorporating Fortran 2018" by Metcalf, Reid, and Cohen. It is accurate but terse. More pedagogical but deliberately less complete (focusing on modern Fortran) is "Modern Fortran: Building efficient parallel applications" by Curcic.

> This confused me -- is it standalone, or is it a front-end for Stripe?

It's both. Which is a bit confusing to be fair. My main idea was to target folk who are using Stripe Billing but want to migrate away or have more control over things. So you can continue to use Stripe Billing and use BillaBear for email templates, invoices, subscription management and have invoice customers which are separate.

Or you're able to have a complete standalone billing process which just uses Stripe for payments. You're also able to migrate away from Stripe Billing to a standalone billing system by importing data from Stripe and then disabling the Stripe billing - which will go through and cancel the subscriptions and then bill them manually.

Yeah, no. This is insanity. Firefox can keep your authentication too. Just login on FF or show a prompt. WHAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF TOKENS. It already works perfectly fine with non-Edge browsers. This is ridiculous anti-competitive garbage and I can't believe people are defending it.

The IE6 era had lots of websites "designed for IE". Once IE became dominant enough, most people stopped caring about cross-browser compatibility. Which made it even harder to get out of the browser monopoly
> meanwhile the companies themselves are bragging about raising prices just because they can. In their own earnings reports.

What's a good example where a company is bragging about raising prices?

Regardless of tone, increasing profits is what is demanded by shareholders and given that 61% of Americans own stocks, I don't see how you break out of that loop.
Well what does the internet say? Do you have links or context?
okay imagine that someone deploys hundreds of thousands of these LLM agents and sets the to work at finding vulnerable servers and searching for exploits.

Congrats, i was following her work for Asahi linux, really impressive.
The browser is a very sensitive piece of software (most of the data I receive and send goes through it every day) and I can't trust the creators of small forks. I also can't trust they are updated fast enough.

Vivaldi is awful. They rewrote the UI in javascript and it's slow and buggy.
Windows already has a default browser setting. I don't see how Microsoft making Outlook by default ignore that is okay.
>tl;dr: The English language, and thus its culture, derives from languages where the word "ship" is female, so it's natural to refer to one as such.

This is not a sufficient explanation, as the same thing must apply to many or most nouns in the English language, which we don't use gendered pronouns for now.

It's also not a summary of the answer linked to, which says it's more likely due to a tradition of male mariners naming ships for important women in their lives

Well let me ask the obvious question: Won't this redact data that is obviously crucial to getting the given task done?

Let's say in case of financial statements, it if can't read credit card numbers and names, then it can't tell you which days some credit card was used and by who. Maybe that's not the typical use case, but I would imagine it being very annoying, given the already high typical LLM failure rate.

Even respecting the settings. Every time Windows gets an update it asks me if I want to change my Edge settings, the first couple of times I didn’t pay attention and it changed my default search engine and started showing the useless news thumbnails that I explicitly took the time to hide.

I’ll need to reconsider Chrome or Firefox, which is a shame since I really liked some Edge’s features.
