> After all, when I tried to discuss wealth and human merit, at least 3 people (me and you and the original reply) got into a discussion about something totally unrelated: uninclusive word choices.

I suppose what I'm trying to impart, is that just because _you mean something_, doesn't mean that's what other people get, and saying "Well what they got isn't important because it's not what I meant" is just kind of...not really how communication with other people work? Previously you said you don't believe that saying things like "what's up guys" is a problem which, _you_ think that, but the people around you might not? And again, you're communicating with them, so demanding they accept your standard of communication is just kind of closed off.

> Maybe I should learn to say "people" instead of "men", maybe I should say "denylist" instead of "blacklist", maybe I should say "differently abled" instead of "disabled", but the list is very long, changes by the day, and is sometimes an extreme niche of offense that no-one is aware of.

Or maybe you can exist mostly-similarly to how you're currently existing, but instead of arguing with them and acting adversarial, simply acknowledging their point? This all happened as a result of a person saying "Women too". Would a "Totally." not have been a validating response? Does that type of behavior compromise your opinions too much?

The common trend seems to be, if a person points out some kind of language issue like we're experiencing now, the person that made the original comment kind of flies off the hyperbole-handle and assumes they must correct every possibly contentious word, when really it seems way less complicated than that?

> At the end of the day, I can try, but people will still get offended by something, so I think the friendlier, more productive option is to assume that people have good intentions, which is what I think my original comment was:

I will turn this comment back on you, and say that the person that said "Women too" may have also been being friendly, and your response opened the less-productive negative-intentioned path.

I appreciate the dialogue regardless.
even though i am an exclusively firefox user both on desktop and mobile, i don't even know what kind of desktop version's extension that i would use on mobile. currently, i only use adblock and so far my experience is quite stellar.

though it should be noted that i use browser on phone just to consume text. no video, no audio, and even picture is rarely the focus.

so, what do i miss?

I've only added a business to Google once, and it was a restaurant I worked at. We received a physical letter, with a stamp and all from google with a verification code we had to enter in order to add our business.
The Downsides of C++ Coroutines
That reads like it was written by ChatGPT. I am not sure there is an "exact opposite", and it's pretty ambiguous.

It counts, but at that point (64bytes of RAM) there is no benefit to using Rust.
What? Why? I don't get this at all. Like, the direct pragmatic benefits of being able to read and modify source code are just enormous. The benefits of maintaining this pure definition of open source are amorphous at best, in comparison.
Check my edit, i did try things and didn't work out as i described in my post.

This is why for the past 2 or so years, I've been pushing to use more projects either in the Apache Foundation or the CNCF for our developer platform. No chance of corporate interests preventing anything competing with the owners from getting merged and no chance of needing to reevaluate licenses or maybe even hard fork.

Currently moving from Traefik to APISIX.
Great! Firefox on Android was perfect until it was redesigned, and only a few extensions were allowed. I switched to the Kiwi Browser just because of that. I hope that it will work as well as it did before the extensions were removed, so I can go back.
"make friends" is a saying. It doesn't literally mean to make actual friends.

Regardless. If I'm taking an uber/taxi/etc, I want to get to my destination safely in a reasonable time, in a clean vehicle. If the driver strikes up a friendly conversation that's fine. But its definitely not what I am in the car for. If the driver is silent for the entire trip, that is also fine as long as they get me where I need to go.
This seems like the right place to ask this. How do I get over focusing on the product in a VC pitch and let my personality shine through? I hear that at the seed stage a lot of VC funds invest in founders, not ideas. The people I grew up around were never enthusiastic about my ideas, so I kind of trained myself to focus on what is when pitching ideas rather than what could be. Problem is now I just sound stifled and almost bored with my startup, like there's no passion behind it, even though I'm working on it like a second job and actually love it.

How do I train myself to show excitement again about my ideas to people?

On the flip side, those are the exact people who often wouldn’t be embarrassed or ashamed of that kind of behavior. I’ve done a lot of things, and I’d openly admit just about all of it if anyone asked.

You could look into it but I think the reason laundry chutes aren't made anymore has more to do with kids getting stuck in them and less to do with fire code (after all, stairways are chutes connecting floors).

Do you regularly switch to the generator to test it? Is that automated?
Did the author go behind his manager’s back to pick up the task, or was it assigned?

Because if it’s the former, it’s possible that the issue was not addressed because it wasn’t deemed high-priority compared to other tasks, regardless of the number of user complaints.

If it’s the latter, well, I don’t know. Congratulations on completing an assigned task at your job?

Slight nitpick: the Amiga was released in 1985, so the system dates at least from 1986. Other sources say 1987, which is not the "early 1980s" as the article says.

However, it's still cool that it's running. I love seeing old tech that's still just running. In the early 2000s, one of my clients was running a woodcutting system off a ZX Spectrum. They wanted to replace it, but the cost to rewrite their custom software would have been so much that they ended up buying a few used Spectrums as backup.
what's interesting is that this isn't as serious as some of the issues today.

just following the example, the result is wrong after the 4th digit. this is absolutely 'could be handled in software with a significant performance loss' territory.

that isn't to say this isn't breaking -- it absolutely is.

what I'm getting at is that my CPU runs 30% slower with mitigations. if I were running multiple servers like the computer I use, and I was near the capacity of my resources, I would need to add some machine(s) -- and people do.

in the same way this is serious, these current issues are the same yet somehow we've lost some stuff along the way and we just don't do recalls or even receive any remedies. where's my check?
Great article, specially by going into unit testing and use of static analysis tooling.
I recall my former professor at UT Austin, J Strother Moore, sharing how Intel utilized an Automatic Theorem Prover he helped create to spot bugs in processors. But when engineers tweaked the design just a little, thinking it was a no-brainer that it wouldn't cause issues, they skipped the automated checks.

And just like that, the infamous Pentium bug hit the headlines globally.
Romantic, but sadly thermally unsuitable in many places.
Houston or Southern California was my guess, because I've seen things like that there, too.

But I suspect it was popular in the south as a whole for a short time, that time being when major sections of Houston were built.
>Vim is what I mainly use out of habbit. It only requires typing vim as opposed to nvim.

Yep, and I still have to deal with my settings being reset every time I update, their user hostile UX flows, strange highlights on web page elements, and all the other stuff Firefox says aren't important to users. But I do it, why? So that all those scaremongers who screech "but you have to use Firefox! Otherwise youre helping the evil only other game in town!" like they always do don't have a single argument. Mozilla shows utter disdain for their users with just about every announcement, update, new feature or new restriction. The irrationality with which people defend them is jarringly similar to a cult, it's really unsettling. I just want a web browser that doesn't feel like it fucking hates me.
Cruise and Waymo win robotaxi expansions in San Francisco
Over here in Belgium in person math tutors are 40-60€/hr when booked through agencies, 15-30€/hr when negotiated directly . Tutors are mostly university students from STEM fields. Customers are parents of high school kids that are failing math. Lessons are in French or Dutch. Lessons are given outside school hours, so only Wednesday
afternoon, weekends or early evening hours (5-8pm), typically at the customer's home. Engagements are most often for a once a week fixed appointment for a semester. Demand outstrips supply.
ML advancements wouldn't have been possible without the extreme progress in hardware. It's not a hardware vs software thing, rather it's a function of demand. The business model of space tourism in general was always dubious.

Although in case of SS2 in particular, it also got delayed by the experimental nature of its hybrid engine (they changed fuels and redesigned it several times) as well as their approach to safety (2014 disaster).
Meanwhile, on the iOS version, they can't even support the OS-provided content blocker API, meaning Safari has better support for privacy-related add-ons than Firefox.

I never questioned how hard Apple worked, how many iterations, etc. Innovation's success is rarely ruled by those things. They got lucky in the US. They got lucky that AT&T (or anyone) was willing to make those concessions. They got lucky that enough people wanted a phone like that (I didn't). They got lucky that the US turned it into a status symbol. There are probably many other things as well that required luck, that I didn't pay attention to at the time.
Show HN: I send 100 remote jobs for Europeans every week
Is the market still pretty tough? I send 100+ remote jobs for Europeans every week.
The combined heat and humidity cycles of being on a roof would be quite damaging to any electro-mechanical machine. Especially one that isn't designed for that kind of environment. I'd be surprised if a PC fan made it more than 2 or 3 years in that environment.

Probably depends a lot on the specific climate though.
Hey, the job market seems to be still pretty tough. I was in search myself a couple of months ago so I know how it feels.

To help myself out back then, I created a small tool. It sends out only decent remote jobs available for Europeans.

Pick your stack, enter the email and you'll get one weekly message with the carefully chosen jobs. Quality over the quantity.

I'll send the next batch of jobs in a couple of hours from now, feel free to check it out.

If you don't want to subscribe, you can browse around the companies listed there, you can also pick your favorite tech stack.
I don’t see why google gets the blame when spam is what forces google to search how it searches.
I've had no problem with getting the RAM (either new or just more eBay stuff) - and even got a replacement mainboard for relatively cheap when one burned up (it was easier to swap the mainboard than reconfigure everything for a new server).

The killer is the power consumption. It's better now compared to old enterprise gear of 20 years ago, but you can sometimes still pay for a brand new low-power system just in power savings alone.

Of course, if you have solar onsite that doesn't matter.
It definitely is. Because you think Amazon is a place, a noun, and thus you think "packages" is a verb - the woman is packaging something. Then you realize Amazon is a brand adjective. Definitely garden path.
The web today is full of silent failures. I've noticed this all the time at work and in my personal business. If loading some resource runs into trouble, it's simply not feasible for the Node.js or React or PHP to surface an error to the user.

Chris says that the loading of sub-resources is a different matter. Well, the most common silent failure I have is not due to status codes per se, but because of my DNS-based adblocker, many sub-resources fail to load (GET or POST) with a network error (TCP RST). Unless a blocked domain corresponds to the front page I visit in a URL, the unavailable resource represents a silent failure, and I have foolishly contacted Support desks multiple times because my own use of the adblocker caused a silent failure that was difficult to diagnose.

In fact, I now have no way of knowing what web apps are like without an adblocker. Because all my devices use the same configuration, and it's non-trivial to disable it, I simply don't know what I am missing. Indeed, in the case of one web app which I've used as a PWA, it was simply missing features that I knew should have been there, and whitelisting enough domain names caused those features to re-appear.

If we don't have a common definition, everyone has their own, and there's no common understanding of what rights you have for a piece of Open Source software. That commons has far far more value than any one or ten pieces of software.
And yet Microsoft manages to make regular, significant feature additions (and occasional, less nice/useful large changes), despite being a critical software dependency for pretty much all of the Fortune 500.
I did not like the look of Kiwi Browser one bit, lots of weird permissions and dodgy ad-tech smells. Plus it's not Firefox, I'd rather use the same browser on both desktop and Android.

This is great news. Can't wait to have a no-fuss paywall bypass on mobile again.

Not so easy. Jailbreaks are becoming harder to perform every day.
Ah, that is why we now have everyone cheering for Zig, which is basically Modula-2 (1978) with C like syntax.

Apparently since the Morris worm (1988), it took a while to undestand what kind of features C was capable of.
I assume it would also have the advantage of not tying the code reviews and PRs to a proprietary git provider.

Say I move from GitHub to GitLab, I assume I lose all the PR descriptions and comments people have made over the years and only keep the commit messages.

It would be nice to have a provider-agnostic representation of this data.

Pre-puberty here, and as someone that was about 4 years old when my circumcision was done I can absolutely understand how ancient peoples would decide just to do every baby boy on the off chance they’d need it later.
Mine is very similar to [0]. We use 4 pits max, which i think is comfortable. 7kW combined, it does a kind of qos when you set all pits to max power, which works out just fine. It has pause/resume and a countdown timer per pit that works intuitively. I would say the price is not a holding back factor. That's why I really do not get what people in this thread are talking about.

It's really the equivalent of a experimental aircraft though, the only reason they can take paying passengers is a law that restricts regulation of private spacecraft. It's about as FAA certified as a kit plane.
Ah, I had only really reached out to those I met at the 7 year company. Going even further back for anyone I hadn't bothered to talk to all this time seemed a bit weird. I guess I can try!

I did start blogging my side projects, but I hadn't considered digging into other implementations and blogging my findings as well. Interesting idea, will try!

I attended an undergraduate seminar by Charles Townes sometime around 1999-2000 at UC Berkeley, on laser interferometry, and it was the first time I heard about LIGO. It set a little seed in my mind, so that when my future PhD advisor walked into the classroom where I was teaching undergraduate lab at University of Rochester and asked whether I'd like to work on LIGO -- I agreed immediately.
Seemed like it was a case of "cannot reproduce" and any attempt at reproducing it failed. Since it couldn't be reproduced, it was never prioritized because it never made it past triage.

At least that's the workflow I imagine when reading this and from working at similar places.

Also, I advise leaving a place that requires your manager to dictate which tickets you work on. Sounds like a crappy place to work.

Ask HN: Debug Linux Hardware Issue?
I own an HP victus laptop, running Ubuntu 22.04 on it. The keyboard back-light can be switched on/off with an fn keyboard combination. I'd like to implement auto on/off, where the back-light switches on when any key is pressed and switches off after a specified duration.

I already went to /sys/class/leds, none of the devices listed there effect changes on the back-light. How do I debug this?
Thanks for recovering that, I had completly forgot about it, I bet still have some Linux Journal issues talking about it.
I recently bought a WD Red HDD drive for my NAS direct from WD, and it arrived in a crushed box. Now, things do get damaged in transit, but I don't want to install a drive, start using it, then get errors which were caused by damage which occurred before I even got it.

I sent the customer support team an email asking them to confirm that the level of box damage seen wouldn't affect the drive, or alternatively to provide a return label and replacement drive. Their response was "try it out, and if it fails, we'll replace it".

Having seen quite a few stories like this about WD and sub brands, I'm tempted to just return it for a refund and go elsewhere...
