Ugh. Another one of these blog posts. Engineer is a good communicator. Has a blog. Gives talks. Then starts navel gazing: "Hey, other engineers should focus more on what I'm good at." I'll get downvoted for this last one: The blog has a link at top of page <<Get a FREE coaching session with me.>> Cringe. This whole thing reads like an advert for his services.

Financial advisers are exactly the same with their "weekly newsletters" that seem to do nothing more than make you anxious about your financial portfolio and think: "Hey, I need some coaching!"
If I'm not mistaken, it says it in the part with "epidemiological". It means that the study is made by observing real life developments instead of poisoning people in the name of science.
I want to point out also how unhelpful the release notes are. When I see ATS mentioned in Apple docs, I think of Apple Transport Security, not (I guess?) Apple Type Services, a font API dating back to Mac OS 8.5.
There are a bunch of typos and missing generics all over the place, looks like something there doesn't like angle brackets.
I did the same... originally, I wanted to use Netlify (just to learn it), but ended up using GitHub because I wanted to do the GitHub Actions deployment stuff on my own, just for fun. Overall, I find Hugo really good. It is easy to set up and has a significantly faster building time compared to Jekyll, Gatsby, and NextJs...

And a lot more so, after they decided they didn't want that UNIX business after all.
I haven't looked at the signals from that perspective, but I'd say that both sets of signals are derived from various internal signals that are more fundamental.
> I don’t know why all these changes were made, but I suspect political issues played a major role.

The specific change was in the moment of switching from daylight savings to standard time - previously it was in the last Sunday of September, since 1996 it's the last Sunday of October - this was done to align with the EU as part of the preparations to eventual accession.

I remember being confused as a child when daylight savings is observed because, well, it changed during my lifetime.

Found this interesting site, with some amazing music. Share albums you like the best.

Wondering if there are other music archives I should know about?
Makes me feel safer knowing this.
You are right about the fact EVs still use break pads but in normal circumstances it is absolutely minimal.

Source: I drive an Audi e-tron and see (in the dash) and feel / hear when the normal breaks are used. Only below 10KM/h and with emergency breaking. The scenario battery 100% full is a pipe dream :)

There is no LEO authority over the entire world. In fact, and this may shock you, there are hardly any global authorities. Except for the sanctions and war China, for example, could decide to poison all oceans.
Windows 7 users are a subset of "us all". If anything they should be focusing on FF users who don't have any remaining alternative for a modern browser. They're the ones whose internet access is most at risk.
Yes, I've had equally confusing compile errors from C++ due to its lookup rules. For example removing an unused parameter from a function can cause that function not to be found anymore! I'd argue that is more confusing than this Rust issue.
> If Mr. Geller can’t actually bend metal with his brain — and civility and fairness demands this “if”

<sigh> Logic and rationality demand the removal of that "if", and Uri Geller's bullshit deserves no civility. Fairness demands he present actual evidence or shut the hell up.
As a local politician I whole-heatedly agree with this assertion (and will now go cry myself to sleep).
> First, the most one-dimensional and simplistic answer. With regard to everything except Crimea: yes of course, and the internationally recognized Minsk II agreements should have been implemented.

Why except Crimea?.

Crimea was invaded just as much as the rest of Ukraine.

So the answer of do you think Russia should withdraw is no then right?, cause withdrawing from Ukraine requires withdrawing from Crimea as Crimea is Ukrainian land.

> 2) If everyone kept their word, Russia would have never entered because Ukraine would have either put down the rebellion, and things would have gotten back to normal — or implemented the Minsk II agreements.

Russia had already entered Ukraine at that point, the Crimea annexation involved tanks, and soldiers.

Not to mention that Strelkov said Russian soldiers were fighting in Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014.

> 3) In a perfect world, Russia would have never entered, because USA would have never fomented a revolution, sponsored far-right extremist groups, installed a puppet regime in Ukraine, and destabilized the country with revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries forming opposing brigades.

Russia planned to annex Crimea before any 'puppet' regime was implemented.

> After all, that would be “whataboutism” and we are only after fantasy scenarios here, where one side (Russia) does all the accomodating to keep peace while the other side (USA) keeps expanding unchecked forever.

What peace has Russia kept, unless you think peace is a gun pointed at your back then where is the peace?.

The USA isn't expanding, NATO is, because of Russias behaviour.

If you had a neighbour that kept trying to rape and kill your family and your only option was to join an alliance to help you defend yourself you would do it wouldn't you?.

> In 1991 the people on the ground voted overwhelmingly (close to 100%) to break free of Ukraine and be independent.

In 1991, before Ukraine was an independent country they voted 94%ish to become an independent SSR in within the USSR.

54% voted to be part of Ukraine, after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

> So it is unsurprising that they voted to be independent again in the 2014 referendum and I believe that, had OSCE or any others overseen it, the result would have been the same.

Wow you think the 2014 vote, with Russian tanks, and soldiers overseeing it was actually legitimate?.

If someone held a gun to your head the next time you voted do you think that would be a legitimate vote?.
In my experience running Firefox over X11 remotely is fine as long as you only use X11 and don’t wrap it in SSH, i.e. instead you expose your local X11 server port to the computer running Firefox and use the DISPLAY environment variable to point it at you local X11 server. Secure the connection with Wireguard and it’s fine. With SSH I’d see frame tearing all the time, regardless of compression options.
I find your tone here quite condescending. We've never received those mails you've mentioned and you make it out like it's our fault that we didn't react. I mean, you managed to send us marketing mails in april and failed to mention you're gonna discontinue the service. So much for honest effort...

You call three emails (the last of which was almost 2 months ago) "best efforts"?

I had to read your message three times because this is so reality-defying preposterous I just couldn't believe I didn't miss anything. How about warnings on the dashboard? How about an intentional error (or limited service interruption) so that people would log in to their dashboard?

1. I am primarily living off my savings. However, I haven’t had to sell any investments for expenses during this period and they have likely grown ( as per Mint.com ) I don’t actively track my investments ( I have vested stock from the fruit company + use robo investing ) so I am mentally free to enjoy other things without worrying about market volatility … I think my average monthly expense ranges from $1500 - $2500 depending on the country. A lot cheaper than a Bay Area down payment + plus so much time to do anything. Also unmarried and no kids.

2. My friend ( at Fruit Inc ) was working with a undergrad friend from the East coast on a side project. The other friend posted a Craigslist ad needing help on the project and mentioned my friends credentials on the posting. Somehow a recruiter found out about it and so my friends VP called him … that he can’t do so and so, and that the fruit company owes everything and he needs to turn it all to them, and he can be terminated etc. And even after termination they will come after him. Long story short, he stopped working on the project and he was NOT terminated but he did eventually leave to a different company. (For context: the project my friend was moonlighting on was not some cutting edge secret or some hard problem )

Bottom line: If no one knows about your project you are fine. And if you decide to leave the company and work on your idea … might make sense to ensure that the start date of the code etc looks a little after your resignation.

Happy to answer if you have any other questions
The trend of "drive unit advertises unrealistic capacity" seems to be unique to flash memory. It's interesting that there wasn't very much of this in the spinning rust days[1]

I wonder if part of it is that SSDs and flash drives are much more of a DIY venture-- you can buy the controller and flash through normal supply chains. If you wanted to create a bogus "200Mb" hard drive out of a 40Mb unit, you either had to buy a bunch of completed 40Mb drives and hack the firmware, or at least secure a bunch of 40Mb HDAs to attach to your custom lying PCB.

[1] The obvious exception I can see is the early days of MFM/RLL drives, where you could bump a drive by 50% capacity by pairing it with an RLL controller, even if the manufacturer had not qualified it for RLL.
Strange -- none of my recent purchases at the Apple Store have involved more than your proposed ideal scenario. I wonder if it was chance, or...?
I agree. And the budget also limits the time you have for thinking about a really good design rather often unfortunately. Choosing the right or sometimes no abstraction is key to making something that is extensible, readable and maintainable.

That said, starting out with the simpler concept, usually results in better composability of parts. This is especially true for pure functions vs classes which are not really classes but namespaces artificially made into classes because "OOP". In the end math wins, if you wanna call it like that.
You need to use Wayland instead of X11 for fractional scaling. On Gnome, you need to enable it first.
> ... if it was ever a real problem in the first place.

It definitely used to be a huge pain in the arse. There used to be pages after pages after pages of random "HOW TO ..." style guides for people to configure X11 config files around the net (many just working for specific hw).

It was an incredible mess, with pretty much nothing positive about it. ;)

Yet somehow it is easier for me, an Austrian, to go to Switzerland than to the UK. Schengen might have to do something with it. But guess who did not like the "free travel" part?

Also Switzerland and Norway have both been in huge diplomatic efforts to align as well with the EU as possible where it made sense for them. This non-membership certainly wasn't free — but those two nations could afford it. Not so sure about the UK here.

I have seen interviews with brits that were surprised that leaving Schengen also means they cannot travel freely within the EU. They basically wanted all the goodies without being part and the rest of the EU should accept it because it is them.

Maybe the only positive thing about Brexit is that the total dillusion caused by decades of UK politicians and media blaming everything on the EU might now show some cracks and reveal that it was really just a way to scam their own people all along.

posted here a few days ago: [harvard & aliens & crackpots: a disambiguation of Avi Loeb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY985qzn7oI) by Angela Collier. It's 1h6m long but I was surprised about myself that I watched the entire thing and I guess it's because of the high quality of the presentation and the occasional deadpan remark that keep you awake. Talk about Avi Loeb specifically start at 24 minutes.

The most damning part of her takedown is probably when she shows zoom footage of a physicists' video conference and other snippets where Loeb is literally foaming with expletives directed mostly at fellow physicists, y'know, the Establishment who just wouldn't follow his by-now predictable but wholly unsupported jump from "I found mineral spherules on the bottom of the ocean" to "these must come from that deep space meteorite that I lately discovered" to "It's aliens!".

Collier is such a sound antidote to all that flaky and faky science coverage we're getting. For all the clear words that she finds she still leaves viewers with an open question: "So is Loeb a grifter? I don't think so. Is he a crackpot? Future will tell."
Yeah so just wanted to chime in here. I 100% agree. I have worked at both extremes.

My current gig is basically the first one. Nobody has the big picture. Nobody wants to discuss the big picture. They are only interested in checking off the boxes associated with the task they currently have assigned. Everything is due yesterday because there is no actual priority list and our priorities shift on a daily basis. It's utter chaos.

We are writing an ERP system. It is slowly shaping up to be a complete disaster. I have spent the last eight months trying to change this approach and attempting to lead by example.

It's not working. I will be moving on soon.

TLDR: Just because somebody can afford to hire a software engineer, doesn't mean they should hire a software engineer.

Definitely, but not worse than those other large groups of (mostly guys) claiming to have a connection to god, the ones that peddle reiki, essential oils, crystals and a ton of other nonsense to the gullible for a lot of profit. I have some 'true believers' in my surroundings and it always gets me how they are able to delude themselves, but it gets me even more how much energy they put into convincing other, even more gullible people. It's like an MLM for bullshit.
FF 2090: Japanese textile factory still uses js and react [hologram]
Why did you feel the need to bring sexual orientation, skin color, and gender into this? Do straight white men get the chance to voice an opinion without being dismissed as straight white men? Could we, maybe, when discussing technical matters, talk about the topic at hand, instead of discrediting people straight away for their inherent properties..?

*edit:* as trabant00 pointed out, this is actually brought up by the speaker towards the end of the video, I didn't catch this the first time. I apologise for jumping to conclusions here.
It’s a brave commenter who tries telling Apple they’re doing retail wrong.

I’d guess Apple wants to avoid their shops feeling like a supermarket, to avoid commoditisation. They want it to be like buying a work of art, where each one is unique and special. You need a knowledgable curator to guide you.

I know that for us on HN it’s all bullshit, but it’s a very, very successful strategy.

> I haven't been able to track down the original date, but it was already around in the early 2000's.

I remember reading the original article when working on our 4k intro Sesamstr [1] for a demoparty in September 1999. (The ELF Kickers [2] changelog lists July 1999 for the initial release.) We wanted to dynamically link libvga.so, which requires some more features of the ELF header to play with. It turns out that the linker hash table can overlap with other parts of the header, to shave off some bytes.

As an additional shot of nostalgia, I remember some other sceners (Wedge, Viznut, XeF4?) trying to avoid SVGAlib entirely, so that one could use the smaller "a.out" format. Because one could not simply use movl $0x13, %eax / int $0x10 in Linux, there were some crude attempts to set all the required VGA registers "by hand". I think that required a couple of hundred bytes to pull off. Back then, you could probably get away with not restoring text mode at the end :)

Agree with you.

They are still on TOR, and currently they are back up on sneed.today (not sure why the old domain didn't come back yet?). The site seems to be hosted (I guess?) by TerraHost, a Norwegian company which is owned by the american company Epik, and which refuses censorship. I assume the people wanting to take kiwifarms down will have to go to the upstream providers of Terrahost, since they won't bend the knee.

https://bgp.tools/dns/sneed.today

The fact that they're using Terrahost as a provider isn't new, but the difference here, I guess, is that now they are using an IP owned by TerraHost rather their Null IP/ASN connecting to TerraHost and then to upstream providers such as GTT, and so on...

https://bgp.tools/dns/kiwifarms.net

Not sure what difference this makes, and I'm too much of a noob to understand what is going on exactly, so I might be talking bullshit here. But it seems to be working. Be that as it may, NGOs and institutions who defend the free internet should be opposing the censorship of kiwifarms, but they aren't because everybody knows that most of these institutions have an ideological bias...
This situation is a bit different, however.

A company that believes in strong intellectual property rights protection is using resources that blatantly ignore intellectual property rights to get access to the content for free.

I agree with you, however, that it's an argument in favor of abolishing strong intellectual property rights. At least for OpenAI's products.
I have seen this more and more as well. In my experience, it tends to be developers who are aiming to switch to project management at some point in their careers.

Relativity has been continuously worked on for the last century. It's not "old", it's current.

Gravity waves are a prediction of relativity. LIGO was built to confirm they exist. It took a long time to build LIGO and a long time to make it work. But eventually it did work in 2016 and sure enough gravity waves exist:

https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/

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

Black holes are a prediction of relativity. But black holes weren't imaged until 2019:

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

https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/2319/first-image-of-a...

The predictive power, the depth of the results, and the work it takes to confirm the predictions of relativity is all a testament to Einstein's genius.

If anything, Einstein is underrated.
> The intent is to have ability to restrict what code the user is allowed to run as the target user, and not allow arbitrary code execution.

No, that's not the intent. The intent is at best to limit binaries that are being run, but actual implementation is to limit invocation string.

> That is pretty crucial aspect of sudos use-case.

Agreed. Unless you 100% vet and control all sudo`able binaries in your system (probably 99.9% sysadmins don't), it is pretty crucial to understand that effectively sudo grants arbitrary code execution under x user permissions.

That's by design. Executed code runs "natively", not in any form of sandbox, without any restrictions on permissions besides local user account. Some applications are explicitly designed to allow arbitrary code execution, some applications may have bugs allowing arbitrary code execution.

Sudo is insecure by design. The main use of sudo is to protect against willingly cooperating users.
