I love AbeBooks, too. I started to go there as Amazon's listings got more enshittified. Rather than fixing their product, they just bought the competition.
I don't believe this is true. It's almost certainly not true for instances of distributing a limited set of sources. That is, I seriously doubt Red Hat or IBM are looking to cancel subscriptions if I download the latest package from RHEL 9.x for Bash or even the Linux kernel and distribute those sources quietly.

If I download everything and advertise a rebuild based on those sources? I'd expect that my subscription will be going away soon. There's probably a line somewhere in between where Red Hat would take notice and care.

But I would wager a good bottle of Scotch[1] that line is much closer to "everything" than a maintainer grabbing Red Hat's changes to their work via a sign-in to the no-cost account and incorporating those changes or something like that.

They were grifters from the very beginning, squatting langserver.org and making it seem like they it was their creation, mentioning microsoft exactly once (or was it zero times initially?)
Kind of interested (with no judgment implied), do you think Apple is paying people to make posts here (weirdly of stories talking about their failures) or are you using astroturfing to refer to Apple’s extremely successful work building public mindshare resulting in a fanbase that wants to constantly discuss their products (and a hate group that’s still obsessed with talking about them)?
And that’s the core issue here, media consolidation. Local news companies, radios, even some businesses you may not expect are all backed by large corporations that bulk-buy stations. It’s very hard to find independent local businesses in media because A) rich people love controlling the populace and B) a lot of this benefits from economies of scale, which is unfortunate. For instance music licensing, then sub-licensing, is a very good way to redistribute music legally.
what's wrong with the design? That link looks sketchy, btw.

People (rightly) talk about how great it is at playing steam games. One thing that’s often overlooked is that it is excellent at emulation too.

I’ve played with emulators in the past but they’re always a little laggy, or the controls aren’t quite right, or there is some other nagging issue. EmuDeck isn’t perfect but it handles a lot of the hassle and is the only setup where I have 100% completed the old mario and zelda games of my childhood.

Double lifespan sounds like a nightmare if we don't dramatically change all of society first. I don't think it's possible to make that work unless we're talking about raising a retirement age to something like 130. In that case you better be actually be roughly halving aging so that a person can still work at 130, not adding a bunch of low quality years to life.
Thanks, just bought a base model + dock. I've got a bunch of 128GB SDs, and my only current plans are to use it for PC-98 emulation, so load times shouldn't be a problem.
The problem with this feature is the user does not make the choice. Firefox should be alerting the user why they disabled the extensions and give them a choice to enable them.
Once a person is past child-rearing age, there is little evolutionary advantage for a longer lifespan—so perhaps it's just a trait that hasn't been prioritized by evolution?

You're understanding of what RHEL is seems to be off. Basically the current pipeline is Fedora->CentOS Stream->RHEL or CentOS Stream -> Fedora, RHEL. The downstream from redhat distros (centos, rocky, alma) were just recompiling the same packages as rhel and claiming 1:1 bug compatibility, which is a claim that might not even be true. They were able to do this because RHEL used to publish the packages that made up the distro to the public, but now they are only doing that for their customers. Everything that exists inside RHEL is available through centOS stream, the issue for the clones is that there also exists some changes that have not been added to RHEL yet.

Ultimately, the issue is RedHat thinks people should be using centOS stream if they don't need enterprise support and a significant part of the community just want RHEL but free.
I like it how people can just call actually carefully reasoning through definitions and logic "mental gymnastics" or "rationalization" so they don't have to actually engage with the point or demonstrate where a mistake was made. It's a very convenient way to poison the well indeed.

> It absolutely is tribalistic stereotyping

They're talking about an actually real philosophical and ideological tendency among some people in Tech. It's not a tribalistic stereotype. By that definition talking about any group of people that hears to a general ideology would be tribalistic stereotyping and that's extremely stupid. Being able to talk about the people that have a certain ideological tendency is a necessary part of talking about the social dynamics of issues.

> to be disparaging and generalizing about people

If you are talking about a general group of people and it's a group that is defined by their adherence to a squishy set of bad ideas, I don't see the issue with that.

It seems like you and the other people objecting to the use of the term "tech bro" just feel offended and want to wiggle out of that any way you can. So you try to reduce discussions down to purely only ever being able to talk about specific individuals, essentially ripping out an important conceptual aspect of the discussion by removing the ability to abstract, which is a crucial part of reasoning. Referring to the group of people that adheres to a certain attitude or ideology is not tribalistic nor stereotyping. Assigning arbitrary unrelated attributes to a group is stereotyping.

with every new comp-language advance or compiler/transpiler etc, coder's life gets easier - but an engineer's life is more broad, it's about Solving Problems that involve: Tech, Design, User and Business. These problems will only get more complex.

I think the Coder's role will become a very niche market, highly expert/specialist.
the Engineer's will grow, very much needing AI to help-out, especially with tasks around: Discovery, Mapping/Relating, Projecting/Simulating.
Today's tech content would fare worse than you might imagine. So much is tied into byzantine ERP/PDM systems . . or contains specialized processing instructions for a particular black box editor/processor . .OR juggles actual techdata with the entity peculiarities of a CCS (component content system) that itself can result from any number of nebulous engineering fads.

I guess, short version of what I'm trying to say, is that today's tech data doesn't have narrative. It's a bunch of little pieces floating around and needs a living org to put it together. If you froze it, Pompeii-style, future generations would find themselves facing dead ends all over the place.

Since we're already complaining about "New thing Bad, Old thing Better," why oh why does this blog require third-party JS from three separate domains (s3.amazonaws.com, fargo.io, and scripting.com) just to render a page of static text with minimal styling? The only user-visible thing I can see that uses JS is the section folding thing, which can be done with no JS using the <details> tag on modern-ish browsers, or a tiny chunk of inline JS if you want to support older browsers.
I don't think the definition of public is even enough here. Open-source code is public but covered by specific licenses. That's still legally undefined, but there are already ongoing lawsuits.

Been going for 10+ years now. It’s fun to watch my interested (professional and personal) change.

It all started with WPF then Silverlight (RIP), then diversified into HTML5 (when the version number seemed to be a thing). I also had a fun foray into mobile dev for a while, swift / iOS. More recently it’s been quite JS-heavy, and the past year or so, a lot of AI.

There is an underlying theme of open source throughout.

A fun trip down memory lane!

Back when I toiled in trenches as an embedded systems developer, I always dreamed of being able to use a "big, proper" OS like QNX instead of whatever clumsy, barely-better-than-bare-metal RTOS I was using at the time. I remember QNX always having a decent presence at the embedded systems conference.

Instead of going unix-ish and using QNX we eventually went windows-ish and used Phar Lap ETS, which was quite nice and civilized.

I think people who have never run a business believe that running say, a bakery, involves baking all day. Anyone who has ever run a business should know that is false. Running a business involves doing all the stuff around the main task (marketing! accounts! infrastructure! customer support!) so that the people doing the main task can get on and do it.

If you understand this you won't turn your hobby into a business and be disappointed.
I bet societies without immortality progress faster than societies with immortality socially. A large portion of opinion change occurs intergenerationally with old views dying off, some people change their opinions on major values over time but far fewer people do than we like to think. I think for example it would be far harder to get things like gay marriage passed if people born in 1000 AD were still around today.

I refuse to believe that the people who made some of the best ancient statues had an artistic sense of a 5-year old when it came to color...

Obviously ancient status were colored but probably in a much nicer way. No way something like:

could be even close to the original ( considering that the Romans generally managed to somehow get skin tones more or less right in the few paintings that survived)
I don't know about that. I am objectively very capable and much of that wasn't hard or anything. I just poured a lot of knowledge in when I was young. I think I'll take the same approach with my kids: just pour a lot into their heads and they can form the models from the facts.

In fact, the only things that I have poor retention of is Algebraic Geometry because despite the amount of time and effort I spent on it I made no progress in intuition. Partly because I was attempting the "take notes" strategy for that class instead of my usual "high attention / no notes" strategy.
I find my job as a software engineer and programming for fun to be extremely different, to the point where my job hasn't damaged my passion for fun programming on whatever I want.

It's like if you had a passion for painting and got a job that consisted of 50% deciding what solid colour to paint walls and 50% painting walls solid colours.

This varies a lot. I could imagine a game dev whose hobby resembles their passion a lot more.

Proton is really quite incredible as a compatibility layer, I've not seen any performance drops (if anything, only small performance gains, which I assume is due to fewer background processes in the OS), but most incredible is the frequency with which Proton is updated and worked on.

I'd tried gaming on linux before and gave up after a week or two of configuration attempts. I had put it off for ages and tried with proton on a dual boot system earlier this year, and instantly had access to everything installed on windows. It also means I can actually recommend linux to people with older machines trying to squeeze a little extra out of their lifespan, without having to tell them it's an uphill battle to get gaming working as expected.

I've had an experience where the interviewer tried to stop me from doing a DFS on a graph. Then they tried to tell me that's not how DFS is done. I am a pretty chill and curious guy, so I turned this into a discussion. At the end, I go like 'so my initial approach was correct', he goes like 'yeah, I guess it was' then I never heard from them again. I still think about that interview from time to time.

How about "Never do, because afterwards you'll hate it"?
Since the other poster deleted their post, I will hazard a guess as to what they said.

This work was done by Martin Stránský from Red Hat, as with most of the other linux hardware acceleration and Wayland enablement work that has happened over the past several years.

But Red Hat is not very popular right now, so even mentioning that they might be due credit for this work is therefore considered potential "rage bait".

I very much don't want to see the thread devolve into another argument either, but I also hope that can be avoided without completely ignoring such details as the engineer that did this work (and lots of other work) in Firefox.

Distutils.version: Version numbering for anal retentives and software idealists
Hi HN folks,
I was debugging legacy Python code using "distutils.StrictVersion", and I went to the definition of this function to understand what it is doing. Reading the documentation made me laugh, so I decided to share with you this easter egg.
If you feel like an anarchist and software realist, you can look at the "LooseVersion".

I've been on the fence about getting one. The one thing that's slowing down my decision making is whether or not the matte anti-glare screen is worth the premium price, or if the regular screen glare is fine enough inside. Also seen some people say a screen protector works, but can bubble with the heat.

Happen to have any insight on this? $360 vs $540 on sale right now is tempting. Upgrading the storage to a larger NVMe is likely to happen either way, so the premium price would just be for the screen.
Yep.

Folks at 200+ and especially FAANG companies are mostly interchangeable. The interviewer is mostly derisking chance of a dud and comparing a 86%er vs 87%er. A few exceptions like at the rarer million dollar comp level. For everyone else, especially non-insiders... Cookie cutter comparisons it is, and whatever edge.

Startups are very much making a more existential bet. For our openings, I'm equally looking for ownership, interest in our customers/mission/long-term, and other bits that have little to with a whiteboard. On a HN Hiring thread from yesterday, you'd be surprised how many emails I got that were 'here is my stale CV from 5-10 years ago' and little about why they're excited to do hard things with us. Likewise, if someone is on a second round with us and hasn't bothered to use our free tier, that also tells us a lot about their (dis)interest in doing for what is, for everyone else on our team, career-defining creations.
Did PhD in a topic. Still like the topic. My advice: people over generalize from their n=1 experience of doing a PhD. There are so many differences between fields, universities, supervisors...
Unpopular opinion, but Boston City Hall is an objectively VERY beautiful building.

Brutalism is absolutely an acquired taste, but it is, by all measures, an objective style that can be measured against, in the same way classical or say, Spanish Mission architecture style is. In fact, some would even go so far as to argue that most Victorian/neo-classical architecture is just a chintzy facade with no real architectural rules, akin to a Vegas casino or a Cheesecake Factory (I wouldn’t, but some would).

But as far as Boston City Hall being “objectively” ugly— that’s an objectively wrong statement. I can understand the vast majority might unfortunately say they personally find it ugly, but that is subjective.

I have the same views on e.g. Dallas City Hall too, which I think is another stunning example of a beautiful building many people hate.

Saying a pile of trash covered in mold and feces is objectively ugly— I’d agree there. Barring that, though, I’m of the strong opinion that most anything expressive, including graffiti, is “art”. Your response to whether you find it beautiful or not is your own, but that does not make it art or not.

Nominally patents are supposed to describe these technical details, but unfortunately the law ("enablement") has no teeth in the US. When I was a patent examiner, I wanted to do enablement rejections, but couldn't. The law is supposed to incentivize properly documenting the invention, but attorneys have gamed the system, disclosing little in exchange for a monopoly.

>No, customers pay the tarriffs at the end of the day.

This depends on the product and the type of demand. If it's inelastic, yes. if it's consumer focused, yes. But most of the time that's not the case. Tarrifs on material exports ar b2b, where pricing agreements are common.

At the end of the day, tarrifs create downward pressure on companies profit margins. If you instead, gave incentives it would put upward pressure on the companies who created fucundity for the economy.

I don't know what a half day loop is, but a few hours preparing for interviews doesn't seem weird to me. Do you have more than 1-3 serious interviews anytime you want to switch jobs?

For me, the problem is that 95% doesn't reply to their application form or email box, so that's where I'd optimise for time spent.

Sometimes I get recruiter calls and interviews stemming from that I'd not classify as serious, like I might do 20-30 minutes beforehand to figure out what this company does and whether/how it fits into my life, but if I'm not actually looking then I'm not going to spend hours preparing my presentation. Seems to still work to get an offer, though; they seem biased towards those they initiated contact with

Many people already imagine the Fediverse being an empty husk with no significant life left. I'm using the platform today, and I'm perfectly happy.

The EEE attempts on a major open platform haven't even reached step 3, arguably. ActiveX, XServe, Flash and Silverlight all failed spectacularly at their goal of co-opting and extinguishing the concept of the internet. Considering how Meta has no meaningful leverage over the Fediverse community, I think your fears are unwarranted. Best case scenario, Meta plays by the rules and federates well-regulated content into everyone's feeds like Twitter with less extremism. Worst-case scenario, Meta goes crazy and takes all the normies with them to their closed Threads landscape, returning things to how they are now (dense with nerds and misfits). I don't think Meta enthusiasts or current Fediverse denizens would care either way.
