My thinking is the community edition won't have this "feature".

I just cancelled my subscription and I'm downgrading. The only Ultimate feature I used was the database explorer which is replaceable.

Apart from anything else, this stuff just wastes my time and energy - I don't want to even have to think about the security implications - is my IDE - the main tool for my job spying on me? Is my project which I've spent many thousands developing being leaked somewhere?

Valuable code is battle tested and hardened over many iterations using human intelligence and discussion. It does not come from a LLM.
Hopefully the database file has to be located outside of DocumentRoot so you cannot do that.
your algorithm is bad and you should feel bad.
You can use Brave and never even enable its crypto wallet. It’s an opt-in setting iirc.
Where is this hate coming from? Teams is amazing, and I much prefer it to things like slack for company comms, even more so for its integration with Outlook and AD. MS is doing an amazing job and they deserve to be rewarded for this amazing product, not punished because you guys want competition and weirdly like SASS products that promote a fragmented ecosystem.

And I say this as someone that runs Linux at home and doesn't touch MS dev tooling or languages. Including VS code.
Thanks, I forgot about this aspect of live program editing. Whether or not it's possible (or how close just quick live reload) is to this it' definitely not a first class citizen like you presented. It also reminds me of Pharo (or maybe just smalltalk, I've only played with Pharo) where you build the program incrementally "inside out".

It does make me wonder how aplicable this way of programming is to what I do at work but that is more because of the technologies and architectural choices where most of the work is plumbing stuff that is not local to the program itself together. And maybe even for that with the edges mocked out it would make sense to work like this.

Again, interesting video that made me think. Thanks.
I had never seen this show before and somehow stumbled across the 4 hands on a keyboard episode. It was awesome inspiring how terrible it was

It depends how you define "wasted". If it were a flat wall, it'd give the interior more space by just pushing it out to the furthest point in the wavy wall. I guess you could say that whatever the magnitude of the wall is would be wasted.
While there are things to hate on with Tesla cars, range is not one of them. I have a Model Y and for the most part I like it. I plug it in when it needs charging. What's so hard about that? I've been on several 6000+ mile journeys across the country and never had a problem, even out west where charging is more sparse.

The thing I hate most about my car is that I spent $10K on "Full Self Driving" and rarely use it. It totally sucks and is definitely the worst $10K I've ever spent on anything. That money could have gone to a nice vacation somewhere and I would be happy about that. But no, every time I try out the FSD, I come away disappointed.
Interesting that they take a consumer angle, I see the same when I reflect on my career in the professional services business. Initially I enjoyed the process and feedback of becoming an 'expert' in a specific area, and now it's just mundane.

People crave change has been my main lesson learned.
Tesla advertises EPA range which is a mix of city and highway driving with an average speed way below normal interstate highway speeds.

I use the navigation all the time,
even when I know the way, because it knows about traffic jams and so I can get a good range estimate for longer trips. It even gives you a round-trip estimate back to your starting point.
What exactly is "material", you scour pii to determine that. Malware infections are very common in big orgs, pii loss, secret data loss or service impact are the big ones to determine severity of an incident post compromise.

If they have 10 hypervisors ransomwared, is that material? If they had 1000 vms on them does that change? If half the company stopped work for a day does that matter? If there was no pii or secrets on the 1000vms is it still material?

The push to determine that before investigation concludes to avoid the risk of being accuses "you knew about it long before notifying" and explain in court materiality took time to determine is a big legal liability/issue.
FreeBSD Working on Support for LinuxBoot, Going from 256 to 1024 CPU Core Limit
I got an (automated?) email from HN mods to repost it on the HN second chance pool https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308
Devil’s advocate: There are around 20 death sentences for drug dealing per year in Singapore and an annual overdose death rate of 1.18 per 100k and approximately 0 death penalties for dealing. In the US, the overdose death rate is >20 per 100k. The penalties are severe, but if they contribute to the reduction of general population deaths, may be less worse than western approaches in terms of lives saved. (Obviously there are lots of factors that go into those stats, geography, access, culture, etc. and punishment cannot be the only variable evaluated)

Edit for more scale: there are around 100,000 overdose deaths per year in the US vs 60(!) in Singapore. A metro area of 5M in the US (the approx population of Singapore) would have >1,000.

Nature? Bah! How do you market nature? People can just get it for free! Get with the program, we need to exploit hedonism-seeking for the widest possible range of consumers to keep our numbers up! Keep them lusting after the next big thing, keep them confused and incompetent for as long as possible so they keep buying new versions of it. From us.
and if you zoom out, it's still surprisingly low compared to other periods with inflation. Either Powell did a good job squashing inflation (and a few more quarters will prove it), or he's missed the mark and it's still going to be persistently above 2% for a very long time.

I'll start to throw around some hyperbole if we get above 8% fed funds rate

My youngest once found some sort of chocolate drops called "unicorn poo" - which seems a more ironic thing to chuck at CTOs !
This is standard Weird Sales Culture stuff, but it's a bit odd for customer support.
I like both those ideas!

Especially the 2nd one. Linking CEO compensation to FTE pay feels like a good way to remind the powerful that their power derives from the consent of their employees. Plus I'm very against the massive inequality that has skyrocketed in the past few decades.

I just wish there was a way to get the powerful to understand that it's not a one way relationship. The 2 parts, FTEs and executives, both rely on each other to function. But so many people don't want that balance, one way or another.
And the power required to move against the air goes up by the cube of speed (as you multiply the resistance times your speed itself.)
I used to have a Nissan Leaf. Same trip took 30% less charge, just because of the if was driving a behind a large track most of the way.
Brave is really the browser to bet on and I wish people would give them more credit. Brave's position is that the web is broken - advertising is bad for the web as a single form of monetization. I really agree with that. They then ask the important question "so how do we envision the future of monetization?" and I guess that rubs people the wrong way but... it's a critical question, we can't just say "sorry, websites can't fund themselves", we need an alternative.

I am about as anti-blockchain as they come, but the reality is that blockchain has one very specific use case - hostile, unauthenticated users, who need to prove that work has been done. That's the model of a website serving customers - you have no idea who they are, they could be trying to lie to you, etc. It's at least not a bad fit for the technology.

At minimum they're trying something new and I think that's extremely worthwhile - it's not like their coin is their only asset, they are trying to actually sell value to customers. I believe Brave is far more mission aligned and practical than Mozilla is. They've already done a far better job around things like their VPN, TOR mode, etc.
When I became a full time developer, I lost any sense of adventure or accomplishment with regard to video games.

VR still has some sense of wonder or competitiveness that I used to feel playing WoW as a kid.

Just slowly embracing my inner old man yelling at clouds I suppose, a lot of kids see eSports as a viable future career now.
Culture is the reason. Japanese people have a more collectivist instead of individualist society, which promotes a shared sense of ownership in society. (At least, this is what they taught me in my Japanese courses in college)

Changing culture is hard. But, some cultural shifts have been brought about by public awareness campaigns, protests, etc.
This is like saying Microsoft created a secret team to suppress file transfer estimations over a 56K modem.

Time estimates are an incredible challenge because you're effectively trying to predict entropy.
Currently working on the ability to copy and paste the underlying blocks into your own editor (with owner’s permission) —- big believer in popping the hood!

Any system that tries to guess what I want isn't going to work.

For example, when my browsers or mobile devices try to guess automatically when I want audio to start playing, they're almost always wrong.

Open a browser? Why is a video playing in one of my 30 tabs?

Unplug earbuds from my tablet? Why is an audiobook now playing? I didn't even have the audiobook app open, and haven't listened to any audiobook in months.

If your design relies on intelligently guessing what the user wants, but doesn't actually use any intelligence to do so, then your design is shit.

Give users the tools to do what they want quickly and easily. Don't guess.

I'd like to know if this wavy wall technique requires non-square bricks to be stronger. And is it stronger against sideways forces along the concave and convex sections. If it's only the same strength as a straight wall then I'd think it'd be worse as a retaining wall?
We regularly do road trips of 200+ miles, and we get 350 miles on a full tank of gas. At the beginning of the trip, the GPS will say something like "250 miles to your destination" and the car will say "180 miles left"

I regularly pull off the highway to fill up with around "20 miles" left, when there are ~90 miles left in the trip (e.g. it was dead-on accurate for the last 160 miles), according to the GPS. I agree that it's spooky.

I think, when making estimates for "miles left", our car must be doing some calculation like (rolling estimate of mpg) * (gallons left).

It's also possible that it keeps a buffer of ~1 gallon of gas that it never tells us about, when quoting the total range, and it eats into this buffer without telling us. There's certainly a bunch of tricks they could be pulling off.

The point is, from a driver's point of view, I have a trustworthy number. If they need to pull off some tricks to achieve that trustworthiness (e.g. low-balling total range), that's OK with me.

With EVs, "total range" is a marketing term, so they have a strong incentives to fib about it. Unfortunately, this makes the vehicles worse to operate.
Everything looks good compared to MS Teams. Some of my lowlights:

1. Attrocious linux support. I use linux at work and its just a pure shitshow. Teams is only offered as PWA with horrible performance. Its far snappier on windows. There is even a community version called teams-for-linux which at least shows notifications in the tray icon and dock icon on ubuntu unlike the official one.

2. Groups are trash. You just wanna call 3 people? Well we made a group for you. Everytime you call a bunch of people it creates a group and that group is now a contact in your chat window. By now I have a group for every constillation of the team I work in. Its beyond annoying.

3. The text input tries to be too smart. Wanna insert code? You get a popup with your cursor in the „title“ part so if you press the code button and paste it ends up in the title. Great, gotta click in the textbox first.

4. Video calls arent much better. You sit next to a colleague and just wanna mute him cause you can hear him outside of teams? Yeah nope, not possible. Same goes for the missing feature of changing the volume of individual participants.

Discord does all of the things and is free for users. How in gods name is multi billion M$ not able to create a decent communication platform.
Often these tools live somewhere under Accessibility settings - at least for macOS that is.
A combination of merit-based promotions and title inflation within the company I was working in.
I thought my comment clearly described the problem as a result of our socioeconomic environment, so I’m curious: what led you to that conclusion? I love women, and most of my closest friends are women (who either don’t want kids, are too old for them, already had them, or can’t afford them). And, having talked extensively with them about this, as well as my various partners over the years, basically all of us have agreed that if you’re a man and want kids, you’re going to have to make a lot of unfair compromises to do so. And again… this is because of capitalism, not because of whatever it is you’re thinking. I am curious to know what that is, though, and how I could have better communicated my point to you!
A distinction without a difference. Brave changes some things and adds some of its own junk. Currently my trust of Google is much greater than my trust of Brave.
Banks don't need the "anonymous" part of the WEI, just the "authentic" chain of trust as in am I really identifying a life person rather than a robot impersonation.

Banks are lazy, they shouldn't need to rely on infrastructure of commercial app stores, blessed devices since they've already proven they could develop it themselves (chip cards, dongles, time-based one time codes, etc.).

WEI is mainly aimed at suppressing the unauthenticated noise, when reading a signal from GET requests (ie tracking) that was never meant to convey any information beyond what is asked for, in the first place.
As a victim of this bundling (RIP internal XMPP w/ OTR), I'm happy someone is looking into this.

As a recovering Teams user, I'm sure it's continued to marginally improve over the years, but I was impressed, when I was forced to use it, at how generally bad it was at almost everything it needed to do, including just basic chat. My fondest memory is of how impossible it was to scroll up in the chat more than a few messages before all messages needed to be fetched from the server again. It made navigating around large conversations impossible as you'd scroll back a bit, wait for it to load, reference the messages you need, then scroll back to the most recent stuff and, again, wait for it all the load. You'd wait for everything to load even if there were no new messages sent between the times you viewed things.
Most normal Tesla owners I'm familiar with just come to accept that the website range claim is complete horseshit. They go on with their lives and just don't worry about it. For around town, it'll get somewhat close to rated range anyway, and road trips aren't that common for most people. The supercharger network is pretty good, and if you have to stop every 200 miles instead of the rated 358, then so be it.

Personally I think the EPA should revamp the rating system. I want to see every manufacturer forced to admit what range to expect if we use 90% of the battery capacity, at 70 mph, in 32F ambient temperature with climate control set to 68F. The only time people really care deeply about range is on the interstate, so the range numbers really ought to reflect that.
I'm curious - how does Enhance manage state updates?

Is there some mechanism to push component updates to the client once the state changes?
Super cool! I built a similar tool a few years back but never followed through on making it open to the public. Love seeing that I'm not the only one who yearns for more fun page editing tools.

Keep up the great work!
Fork or not, they obviously integrated almost everything from the upstream. Keeping a long-running fork that's increasingly diverging is not a simple task.

Does Brave have the man-power to sustain their fork if it diverges sufficiently that they can no longer integrate upstream changes?

EDIT: My broader point being, Brave's mission is less compatible with Google's and as such it's unfortunate they aren't basing Brave on Gecko.

I know the whole history with Brendan Eich and Mozilla, as well as the problems with extending and embedding Gecko. Still, seems like an unfortunate outcome
A 3 amp USB charger is going to be somewhere in the range of 15 watts, right?

That's awfully powerful for a phone charger, is it not? I think my kids' Chromebook chargers have that kind of output.

In our household, we use all the USB-C stuff interchangeably. My wife has a Thinkpad X1 Carbon and another slightly older Thinkpad. Both seem to charge fine with whatever we throw at them.

But truth be told, my wife uses an extra Apple 65W charger we bought when on the go. They are just plain better built, and disconnect into 3 pieces making them way easier to pack up in a bag.
Ticketing is already fully digital and no blockchains or NFTs were required. This is AGAIN another example that people bring up where blockchain solves none of the relevant problems and they've ALREADY BEEN SOLVED WITHOUT CRYPTO

This article mentions them, with photos:

Serpentine or Crinkle-Crankle walls, apparently a Dutch innovation.

> Although it's actually longer than a linear wall, a serpentine wall economizes on materials because the wall can be made strong enough with just one brick thin. The alternate convex and concave curves in the wall provide stability and help to resist lateral forces. Furthermore, the slopes give a warmer microclimate than a flat wall. This was obviously important for the Dutch, who are almost 400 km north of Paris.

> Variants of the serpentine wall had recessed and protruding parts with more angular forms. Few of these seem to have been built outside the Netherlands, with the exception of those erected by the Dutch in the eastern parts of England (two thirds of them in Suffolk county). In their own country, the Dutch built fruit walls as high up north as Groningen (53°N).

What software was Chrome bundled with? I don't recall ever seeing that.
Yup. Quite blatant fraud, false advertising, deliberate falsifying of car data at Elon's request.

But why not? They get away with it for at least a decade+, if not forever. so far, after many years of fraud, all they get is a few bad press reports with a relevance half-life measured in hours. Maybe some prosecution team or class action firm will eventually go after them, resulting in a fine or settlement, another decade later, that won't even approach the scale of their gains from the fraud.

This is the system Elon is good at hacking, not technology.
Nice clips, but I really want a math-knowledgeable person to examine and talk about the equations!

I love math, just can't seem to grasp it. Going on 40 years now....
Unless the tweet is adding more context, I'd request the github link be used instead. I don't have Twitter and the user experience is extremely limited when you aren't logged in.
100% agree with your take. It's long overdue. Same goes to Facebook and Amazon.

There are much to be done on that front. Divest Facebook into different entities (ig, WhatsApp, Facebook, Oculus), Amazon (AWS, marketplace, Twitch, whole foods, etc...), Microsoft (azure, office, teams, etc..).

This will foster competition and fairness. They have too much power now.
Maybe the delineation should be before and after the "social media era"
Just a lame attempt at humor on my part. :)
Interesting to see this on HN, even though it was mass-flagged by everyone here. Sure, it's not a technical project, but it's a cool curiosity to see from a bunch of tech hobbyists contributing edits of anime girls holding programming books. It's a fact that a lot of people in tech have unconventional interests. Plenty of "quirky" projects like that. My only criticism is using Git to host these images. Are they even using Git LFS?
The best part is that right click is all it takes to hide the VPN and other stuff from the UI. I usually do it first thing after I install Brave and never see it again.
In the end, does ease of development outweigh all secondary parties affected in this case?
I think the EPA estimate for highway is based upon a totally flat windless road at 55 mph
Are you sure it was related to the pollution/run off? Or is that just a guess?

It could possibly and simply be the fact you swam every day. A few years ago I bought my first house with a pool and have had a pool since. I swam every day for a couple years (~8 months/year), then this year I'm having a ton of swimmer's ear & sinusitis issues. My pool water is about as clean as it gets for outdoor swimming. And for me at least has been more correlated with frequency of contact with water than anything else. If my ears or sinuses act up, I take a week off from the pool and it gets better.
Anyone who actually has experience with 18 wheelers knew this was never going to work. A lot of my extended family own or operate big rigs. I have been along for a few rides, and it is shocking the amount of focused multi tasking it takes to operate one of those leviathans. I rode for a week with an uncle in in my early 20's, I was lost in life and thought maybe being a truck driver would be a good choice.

In a single week I witnessed, multiple near fatal collision's that had my uncle not been 100% locked in to the road he would have caused. Everything from people texting on the highway at 70+ miles, a person almost crossed 4 lanes of traffic to not miss an exit, and they were applying make up at the same time, people cutting in front him with literal inches away, people don't understand the sheer weight of these vehicles and can't comprehend why they can't break like they do. Funny enough, he preferred the highways vs normal roads. Highway traffic was somewhat predictable even with all of the insane issues, but normal roads ? Try moving an 18 wheeler through a residential neighborhood (yes hn this was the only way) or pull out of a Wallmart, those were those most dangerous maneuvers.
Additionally: you need the wall to be "stable enough", not "equally as stable as a double-layer base". Possibly, double-layer brick walls are over-engineered.
meh, so where are the jobs where you clock on, do a solid day's work actually solving problems to the best of your ability, and then you're done.

All this linkedin-eqsue showmanship is exhausting for all the wrong reasons.
