> "I think you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who wants an unreliable and inconsistent laptop"

All you have to do is search HN for "linux laptop", look:

"newer laptops still have their fair share of issues. When I bought my thinkpad A485 kernels wouldn't boot without additional parameters, the graphics would freeze at times and cause a hardlock, sleep and hibernation have been fixed and broken again intermittently over several kernel versions, the wifi card's AP mode started causing segfaults in kernel 5.2 due to the driver's rewrite but has since been fixed, the fnlock key LED didn't update properly, which I spent a while debugging and submitted a kernel patch for, and while over the years the fingerprint scanner has been implemented, it's a pain to install and support for fingerprint scanning in linux is still in a very sorry state. Oh and bluetooth still can't connect more than one device at a time" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32964872

Reply: "With Wayland, Gnome and KDE have no way to adjust the scroll speed on a laptop trackpad. Not the pointer speed, the scroll speed. In 2022."

"I have a slimbook pro (the model before the silver keyboard) and sadly I am very unhappy with it, I got a fairly maxed out version and it's fans are always on full blast and I have found no way to keep the power management under control except throttling the CPU - so it is constantly overheated, suspend is not working properly and the chassis is not strong enough so the fans stall unless you have it on a flat surface. [...] Still I will keep buying these things.. eventually someone will figure out how to make reliable laptops that align with the ethos of free software. I've researched system76, puri.sm and also lately the way too expensive MNT reform, but really the only laptop people seem to be happy with is thinkpad x220 / x230 which came out 12 years ago.... This makes me sad. I would pay a lot for a super sturdy laptop which works (and aligns with the free software ethos)." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23925729

NB that they say what they want is 'super sturdy which works' but their actual behaviour, and the market signal they send, is they pay a lot for an unreliable and inconsistent piece of junk, knowing and expecting it will be that way, and that they will keep doing so indefinitely as long as companies keep making them, and as soon as companies make a good thing they will stop buying. Hmm.
And why applications are so sensitive for such small difference in time?

Seems like poor engineering practice.

Yeah, if your devs are loading entire tables into code and using filter on them ... I haven't personally seen that, but oh god.

Not that it isn't valid in some cases. It is. If for example, you're using all of the table in your logic and need to filter on to do something like pull out certain items for a certain need. Sure. Then it is good, absolutely!
Well, we don't know if the plant architects remembered to call and point while they were placing the flood-sensitive generators underground and the drought-sensitive spent-fuel pools up in the rafters!
No. Psychopathy is very different. In some ways psychopaths fail to process inhibitions that prevent them from revealing deceptions under high stress conditions. Its not clear what difference in the brain allows that behavior in that context as it eliminates several forms of standard processing, but it is known that psychopathy is a neurological disorder directly aligned with extreme narcissism.

People with a natural ability to process naturally through high fear stimulus still feel fear. Unlike psychopaths these high risk people still exhibit all the same physical symptoms of a stress/fear response. The difference is that they lack just the emotional inhibition associated with that fear response. In normal people a fear stimulus drives us to halt, pause, and evaluate our options. This processing takes time and when it becomes crippling its called anxiety.

People capable of processing through extremely high risk are not so inhibited. Either they are powering through the risky scenarios intentionally as a means of learning something new or because they have weighed their options and found the high risk approach to support an outcome with value that exceeds that severity and and incidence of associated risk.

Here is an example. Imagine deploying as a military service member to Afghanistan at the height of that conflict knowing rockets and bombs land on bases that hurt people. This sounds high risk, because you certainly don't encounter this ever driving to work in the US. Evidence will indicate, though, at that time a person was 10x more likely to die from a traffic accident driving to work or from being shot by police in the US than they were to die from any reason while serving in Afghanistan. Most people are not capable or appreciating that. Now apply that same line of critical thinking to modifications of your daily routine. A for a high risk person this is common and boring while for everybody else its extremely challenging and quite stressful. These are not the kind of people tempted to explore drug use.
Basically don't use anything with a two-stroke engine, they are horrible for the environment. There's an astonishing-but-true fact that California's leaf blowers make more particulate pollution than all the cars and trucks in the state put together because two-strokes are so dirty.
It can pay people to do that.

Depends on how you measure. if you got 3 levels - high, normal, low - then the 58% could be both normal and low...
No, not really, the wax and tannin content is different.
Being fair, there really aren't tools built to test SQL queries like there are to test other code.
i still can't pass rule 5
I think it’s very easy for a human to lie and behave like a chatbot. And the only defence against that is the incentive for both parties to focus on testing each other efficiently.
It's kind of jarring to me that this sort of thing could be anything more than an outlier. Do companies like this not have anyone who's an alcoholic, pregnant, not fond of bars, etc., or are they just fine with cutting them out of the actual decision making process?
> there's not a single one of those "requires a tweak at the string level" queries that couldn't be handled better by actually spending 5 minutes reading the Hibernate documentation

So instead of learning and using widely applicable SQL skills you learn and use Hibernate specific skills? And that’s supposed to be a positive?
Yes I agree. The SenseAir S8 is probably the best of the three. The SCD41 gives similar values indoors but at lower concentrations outdoors it seems to become less accurate. The MH-Z-19 is also pretty good but I think the S8 has a better built quality and less noise in the measurements.
If someone had a cheap ebike, what would they not be able to have maintained on it at a bike shop?

What is the proper usage?
Submarines don't turn CO2 back into O2. They "scrub" the CO2 out using Soda Lime (or similar). They use electrolysis or oxygen candles to generate new oxygen.

https://www.analoxgroup.com/blog/how-do-you-breath-onboard-s...

After the soda lime is maxed out, it's tossed. At least so far as I understand you can't meaningfully re-use it for scrubbing, though there are other industrial uses where it can be re-purposed. Also O2 electrolysis takes a fairly substantial amount of electricity, which is OK when you've got a nuclear generator on your hands.

So.... it's a lot cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) to use an ERV system in your HVAC system even at "only" 80% recovery. Let the plants do what they are good at and deal with capturing CO2 and giving us O2.

The problem is we don't generally build insulated enough or tight enough houses to matter. If everything was built to passive house standard, we'd save HUGE amounts of energy globally.
>So changing a column name or type, for example, is pretty easy to refactor, which may not be true for SQL queries and may take significant testing.

You can also get that with raw sql on the right ecosystem. I once developed a simple application using hasql and hasql-th(on Haskell). Very close to raw sql strings but with type checking at compile time. Feels like you're driving a lambo.
Which, per the EPA [0], is roughly the tailpipe CO2 you’d emit by burning a little under 3 gallons of gas in your car, right? Which is to say, driving 65ish miles in the US [1]?

It amazes me that computational feats of this magnitude can be so energy efficient in the scheme of things.

SUCH a great film and so underrated. Practically every scene is a study in brilliant acting, directing, and cinematography.
Absolutely!

AVR is still reasonably easy to understand and manually bit-twiddle, but virtually all ARM cores are way too complicated for that. It is essentially required to use a SDK to handle all the gory details for you.

If you want to get a proper idea of what a modern ARM microcontroller architecture is like, I recommend you take a look at the RP2040 datasheet: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp2040/rp2040-datasheet.p...
Oh? Tell me, philosopher-king, how do they wield it now, and how would you wield it better?
VNET jails are great, especially now that they're stable, but I'd strongly recommend using a higher level tool. I've settled on iocage, but there are a few other tools out there that seem to have gained traction. Nobody sets up cgroups by hand, right?
Then would it be fair to say that if you don't know what calculations might be coming, all other things being equal, 1 is a good choice since it is "unbiased" in this sense?

Good call on power draw, but it seems dwarfed by capital cost. Assuming 3 year life (this tech gets outdated..), 300W constant consumption costs under $1k at $0.3/kwh.

You need to be an order of magnitude higher in power usage before it really starts mattering. e.g. a Tesla3 consumes around 15 KW (20x the H100) while driving.

That said it looks like flops/watt dropped by only 3.4x, which is also sub Moore's Law (3 years to halve power consumption)
Is there anyone interested in funding a Reddit alternative?
Design Preview: https://i.imgur.com/GZx5b2n.png

As many of you know, Reddit has had some issues with their 3PA developers by raising API prices.

This has sparked alot of interest in an alternative.

I recently spoke with someone who offered to help with the project, and I think right now the biggest hurdle is the figma design (courtesy of setproduct) still needs to be implemented into the old reddit source code, and a .com domain is needed, but this is a start at least.

The figma design was purchased from Setproduct, and the source code is coming from the reddit archive, but more specifically saidit github repo. Both elements will need to be worked on, but its a slow and steady progress. Hosting costs also seem like a concern.

The old reddit source code will need to be refactored and the dependencies updated as well as stripe implementation to get it all to work for subscriptions.

All these things need to be integrated together to work, and a .com domain that is short needs to be purchased.

But so far so good.

Given all of this, here is a preview of the design: https://i.imgur.com/GZx5b2n.png

If anyone here is interested in helping, please feel free to comment below. :)

Thank you!
High ability to immediately recognize complex patterns might not correlate with high ability to navigate systems more complex than what you can recognize immediately.

edit to add: I think most interesting systems are more complex than what a person can understand immediately.

Achim from AirGradient here.

The open source nature of our air quality monitor kits give you a number of choices for data transfer. You can use the monitor and send the data directly to your end point, e.g. through ESPHome or just change our default firmware and change the http post endpoint to your own server.

Alternatively, if you want to use the AirGradient dashboard, we do also have an API that you can access your own data.
The part that was doing no rev was Docker Enterprise. This was sold off to Mirantis [0]. This was a good thing for both Mirantis and Docker. The Mirantis brass knew the enterprise much better than the ignorant leadership that was running the ship prior to the acquisition. I happened to be there at the time. Folks like Steve Singh (former CEO), Roger Egan (SVP Sales) and Betty Junod (VP Product & Product Marketing) were all ignorant to what could have been a very successful run with Docker Enterprise. They were literally trying to hock everything customers already had and didn't want from Docker. What customers kept asking for was what Docker is doing today. While they've had a number of missteps the current leadership clearly understands their target market and... Listens. Steve, Roger and Betty? They always knew better and didn't listen to their own people. It was bizzaro-land where Betty's quest to define personas was the answer to all of Docker's woes. Looking back the entire thing felt like a season of Silicon Valley.

But yeah, if you think Docker doesn't have any runway these days you haven't followed much of them over the last few years.

Lord I can't say enough how glad I am those days are over. Even with ORMs the RDBMS of the early/mid 00s had plenty of differences so that it was a collosal undertaking getting apps to run on multiple DBs.

Sales team: We've got a huge potential client, but they require DB2.

Eng team: <spends 6 months getting shit to work on the insanity that is DB2>

Sales team: Damn, after all that, the potential client went with another vendor.

Super weird comment.
Man, I lived on EFNet from 99-04. Our channels were subject to near-constant coups and hostile takeovers, thwarted by a steady rotation of automodded teens in timezones across the globe.

I don't remember how it was orchestrated, but someone always gave us a heads up when a netsplit was imminent to help retake lost chans.

More fun than MMO raids or time limited events, for sure.
The Sapir-Whorf stuff has almost nothing to do with why some traditionalist Catholics prefer the traditional Latin Mass. (Also, the language spoken is not the only difference between the TLM and the post-Vatican II mass.)
The RP2040 used by the Pi Pico has native USB support, so using it for HID devices is fairly trivial.

The previous Uno was a bit of a pain because it had two MCUs, with one essentially just acting as a USB interface to the other. The new Uno has the USB pins muxed both directly the MCU and the onboard ESP32, so that should be easier to work with.
Darn, I was duped by a bot. They got flustered by the time limit and wrote with a very convincing casual tone.
Some of the syntax seems...suboptimal.

For instance, why is the % required? There aren't that many units; surely {0.5 kg} can automatically be parsed, rather than requiring {0.5%kg}.
Heh, I remember lots of "100 separate queries to render this web page" insanity with doing some CMS work ages ago (actually 200+ was sometimes common). Only thing was it didn't have an ORM either :)

Someone will probably correctly guess which one it was...
I think this is a great idea for an app that could become popular. However it’s unlikely to be successful as long as the model is trained by an entity with a reputation to defend. Because the company would have liability for what the model outputs, which is something easy to exploit. Just ask contentious, politically incorrect questions and the bot will predictably provide perfect, inoffensive answers.

Kernels are generally backwards compatible and major versions are explicitly supported for five (5) years. Over in Linux land you'll see builds for the different libcs and it seems to work just fine.

Aside from the weird capitalization of "Leftism", the author is evidently confused about a lot of things. Such as the fact that the interval in question was nearly evenly split between D and R administrations, and that Obama was hardly a liberal icon. And he forgets the country's bend towards fascism in late 2016.

But why would Leftism be associated with poorer mental health? An analysis of data from 86,138 adolescents found, in line with the Pew survey, that between 2005 and 2018 the self-reported mental health of liberals had deteriorated more than conservatives’, and that this deterioration was worst for girls. The researchers blamed this on “alienation within a growing conservative political climate”. However, the New York Times’ Michelle Goldberg debunked this explanation by pointing out that liberals’ mental health woes began while Obama was in power and as the Supreme Court voted to extend gay marriage rights — hardly a conservative political climate.

Not that this means the Pew study is valid, just that his own cause-and-effect reasoning is basically a distorted mirror of it, and equally dubious.
> Sears asserted that an individual with "average" skills could construct the entire house within a span of 90 days.

I wonder what the actual average construction time was for owner-occupants? Three months sounds unrealistically short for a single person, but maybe it's not actually quite as hard as I'm imagining it.

Steely Dan is one of my all time favorite bands. I have all of their studio albums and I listen to them often (I also have several of Donald Fagen's solo albums too).

It's pretty incredible to think that this band spent over a year in the recording studio to put together an album with just 7 songs on it and using something like a total of 100 different session musicians. This album is Aja. I find it difficult to assign meaningful genre to their music. Plex categorizes it as "Pop/Rock". This shallow label seems to go well with the dismissive attitude that the article's writer held for so many years. Inaccurate at best.

If you're not familiar with 'The Dan', give your ears a treat by sampling their work across a number of their albums. Don't limit yourself to just the most popular songs like "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" or "Peg". Use headphones or a great stereo system and turn the volume up enough so that you can really enjoy the incredible sounds.

On a second thought, nobody. All is well in this best of possible worlds and justice prevails over the rich and powerful. After all they got SBF, and that Holmes lady, didn't they? Maddoff too!

Oh, they got Epstein too AND his girlfriend. Well, the guy did organize sex parties on a private island with underage girls, coke, and prostitution, and had elites, politicians, academics, even some royalty and a president or two as frequent guests, but who's counting? Why even drag them to testify?

And, of course, since justice prevails you can't and shouldn't point at anyone who got through it and only got a slap on the wrist for some minor stuff, or was summarily found innocent, or had the charges thrown, or was never even charged with anything! What could they be other than innocent?

Since that's the case, who would want to anger people with good PR, great legal advice, and friends in power, by making such baseless accusations? In a public forum of all places!
