It's so nice to hear these stories. But it makes the return to reality all the more bitter. Back to having zero effect on anything at my day job!
We use DocuSign here and the amount of time I spend hopping back and forth (exporting and importing) between Google and DocuSign is annoyingly high. If Google were to enter this space... I would personally welcome it.
Ownership in the US is diffuse in comparison to the traditional Marxist scenarios, where you have someone like Andrew Carnegie who controls a business by virtue of owning it. In a modern corporation, ownership is much more diffuse. A big blue chip like JP Morgan is mostly owned by people outside the top 1%. And even in the top 1%, a lot of the owners are like retired dentists or early employees at Microsoft. They don’t exercise meaningful power over these companies by virtue of ownership.

That diffusion of ownership means that capital usually has much less power than the managerial class in terms of actually running the company. Jamie Dimon owns something like 0.1% of JP Morgan. In a traditional Marxist analysis, he’s actually an employee. He makes money from his labor. Even after 20 years the dividends from his JPM stock are less than his compensation as an employee.

You have this class of people now whose wealth and power doesn’t derive from owning the means of production, but by having credentials that persuade a diffuse group of shareholders to appoint them as managers of these corporations. And Harvard and similar elite schools gatekeeps entry into this class of “non-owner managers who run everything.”
Great quote: Speaking of the Band in the 2020 documentary "Once Were Brothers," Bruce Springsteen said, "It's like you've never heard them before and like they'd always been there."
> and old white people claiming today to have opposed it back then are hardly to be taken seriously

Sounds almost like you are trolling.

There are number of ways of opposition. Most people just want to get on with their lives though and you don't have the time nor energy to protest. There were tons of different viewpoints from all population groups. It's not as black and white as you've been reading on the Internet.
The only way to make Linux DEs (at least on X11 -- I've never tried Wayland) as smooth as Windows 10's DE, I've found, is to disable composition. And KDE is the only DE I know of that lets you disable composition (yet another reason it's awesome). ;p

You lose transparency and animations, but the smoooooothness is amazing (and it even extends to games)!

I don't recall how smooth Windows 7 or Vista felt, but my conspiracy theory is that Windows lost all that Aero transparency IN ORDER to be so smooth (but that's probably apocryphal).

Nevertheless, Windows's DE and platform limitations are still horrible compared to Linux with KDE. :D As for Mac, that's tantamount to GNOME, so to me it's not worth considering as a contending GUI.
Some people can't grasp how the world is working.
Won't that kill you faster? What does your pulmonologist say?
Third party workflows like... Google Docs?
Definitely not. Maybe there's a lot of competition for full stack jobs, but at least in Vancouver, that's increasingly where more of the demand is.

Most companies have let people go, stopped hiring, or reduced the rate at which their headcount increases. Whether it's a good idea or not, that puts more companies in the spot of needing 1 engineer to do the work of 2, and the simplest way people see to do that is hiring full stack developers.

Even full stack aside, it makes hiring easier if I can keep hiring JavaScript engineers instead of needing some JavaScript, some Java. Companies all around the world need web apps and apps built, and will for a long time to come, and more and more of them are moving to a majority-Js(/TS) stack.

It's not like COBOL where you have systems which need maintenance and a retiring generation of engineers. There are still an abundance of java or C# or sql devs out there.

Do what you love, and if that's c#, go for it. But if I had no preference, I would go deep on JavaScript.
To put it in another way, if you genuinely expect to be one of the world's major decision makers, wealthiest, etc., then yes there's close to zero prospects, given the stated background and age.

But if your expectation is to have a happy life, a nice house in a decent neighbourhood, etc., then there's no reason to listen to them and self-flagellate.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I find it useful to keep the two separate; I think most of my confusion stems from people trying hard to use 1 tool to do both.
Back in the day many of my clients had Windows NT/2000 machines running RAS or RRAS with multi-port serial cards connected to modems for employee remote access. Usually these would be 8 or 16 serial ports per card with multiple cards installed per server.

I started with Slackware and was happy with it, but must admit that is entirely because my Linux book from B&N came with Slackware on a CD.
Do you have an example originally searched for ASIN* and brand-linked ASIN that this works on?

I've not seen this personally, and checking my last 10 ordered items (some 6-7 character made up brand imported items and some recognizable brand items), following this process landed me on the same ASIN/same PDP each time, but it's definitely intriguing enough for me to want to find out more.

It's always funny when people accuse physicists of cherishing old views and not wanting change, when in fact any real good physicist loves to see conflicting data, because this is the only way progress is made. In fact, we have been hoping for someone to show how gravity breaks for more than a century. I don't think anyone wants this to be false. But good physicists are also very careful and reserved about analyses like these, because they know how difficult they are and exactly how much can go wrong. It wouldn't be the first time that a trivial bug in some self written software causes a fantastic publication, only to get trashed when other people try to replicate it. And unfortunately there are also bad physicists who actually trim data, which made the good ones even more careful and reserved. And if the academic MOND literature is known for anything, it's trimming data. So yes, I would love for this to be true, but no, I will not believe it until there is independent confirmation.

Seriously, are they only talking about weight decay? Why so complicated?
Probably. I just remember installing from a dozen+ 3.5" floppies onto my pizzabox '386 and breathing a sigh of relief when it booted.
I found YaST to get in my way at times; I particularly remember YaST's Network panel hanging because I had StevenBlack's huge HOSTS file. I do like the network panel though for changing static IPs; I had to do some searching to try to figure out how to do that on Fedora, and ended up using Cockpit instead (not sure how to do it cli).

I'm confused on the differences in repo priority between zypper (oS TW) and dnf (Fedora). Apparently dnf also allows setting repo priority, but I've never had to do it, and packages seem to come from expected repos without having to specify (stuff comes from RPM Fusion if I have those repos added). On TW I had to manually specify repo priority to something other than 99 and set a flag to allow vendor changes to have similar behavior; I like that kind of control but I didn't need to do it on Fedora.

OBS is nice in-concept but I don't like the idea of using it outside of openSUSE. I think Launchpad/PPAs for Ubuntu, Copr for Fedora, and AUR for Arch. I think OBS for openSUSE and don't like the idea of using OBS for other distros, even if that's one of the big benefits and point to OBS.
Home Depot has tons of brands too. I didn't realize how many brands were theirs until I did a kitchen remodel, and got a bunch of cheaply built crap that started having problems after installation. Fuckin anything with "Bay" in the name is theirs. Hampton Bay, Glacier Bay, etc. Most of the stuff in their stores is their own brand. Most of it is trash too. Their doors have all been sagging on me, the stainless steel sink I bought keeps needing me to scrub off corrosion, their wood countertops have some shitty UV coating that just peels off.
Haha, I asked ChatGPT to make up some HN comments and it's classic.

I've always found REST more logical. In a way, it's like the Unix philosophy...do one thing(at a time) and do it well. Implementing Graphql on the backend turns into a clusterf of spaghetti code real quick. And there are a lot of footguns.

I've noticed a lot of frontend folks especially like GraphQL, as they just want the data in as few calls as possible, which I can't fault them for.

I've read about an apollo bridge that basically does GQL over REST. I'm pretty curious how well that works, because it sounds like the best of both worlds. Clients who want GQL have it, clients that want REST have it, and backend logic itself is massively less complex.
OMG Blockout. I can hear the intro in my head now! If I remember correctly, it was on a very early PC (8086?) and would actually run too fast on later PCs. Pretty impressive game for the time.
You'd be surprised how many people fall for these kinds of unbelievable deals from ads on social media apps, over and over again.
I can't speak for who you're asking but personally, there's an important nuance here:

I want (some) infotainment features. I do NOT want them baked into the car. Some of my main reasons:

1. Honestly, the reasons are long (I'm a gearhead, I know cars better than I know code, and I've been coding for 20 years), and largely centers around the idea that in my opinion, EVERY single modern automotive manufacture is terrible at UX in their infotainment. Tesla's UI (not UX) is okay. It doesn't deserve the praise it gets imo but at least it's usable, but that's a pretty low bar imo, but the fact that Tesla wants the touchscreen to be the primary interface ruins anything they have going for it.

2. Additionally, one of the beautiful things about Android Auto/Apply CarPlay is that you bring your accounts and media with you in your pocket. When your car is a separate device as opposed to something you just stream to like with Carplay/Auto, that's another thing to trying to sync accounts/creds and manage data, and I refer you to my above complaint on why I have an issue with that. I mean, it could literally INSTANTLY sync the things that I want flawlessly, and that still doesn't actually add any value to me. It at best reaches parity with the phone that's already in my pocket with android auto, and that's assuming the entire rest of the infotainment functions well.

3. I quite simply don't trust ANY automotive manufacturer to do competent user facing software, and I can't think of a single automotive manufacturer I would trust personal data/credentials to (yes I'm already aware they do that to extent, it's why I'm against it, they already suck at it, last thing I want to do is hand over more data into yet another walled garden).

4. Walled garden's suck, and as this is a value add service with no announcements yet (that I'm aware of) of any other manufacturer working with GM's initiative to establish/adhere to standards/specs or facilitate any sort of portability or openness or flexibility. If it's not a walled garden, great, but I'm assuming it will be, and I don't want it.

I liked the detailed output of the M-LAB tests, unfortunately the amount of data has fallen over time. They'd also check for traffic shaping / blocking once upon a time. I think the project lasted only as long as the grad students who wrote it were there.
I mean, I actually agree with this take, even though it’s subjective. While guests can be unreasonable, I suspect many hosts are taking glamour shots of the bedrooms and then keeping them in normal conditions while charging a premium.

You see the same thing in fast food advertisements. A glorious hamburger on TV, and a greasy smushed mess when you purchase one.

The question is why we tolerate the latter, not why we should accept the former.
My experience is that Costco is cheaper and entirely adequate/sufficient quality products, but rarely/never "top shelf" products (assuming that's meant to mean "the best").

This makes sense, as Costco is trying to move a lot of units and you can move a lot more units into the market that's looking for "perfectly adequate" than the ones looking for "the best". Honda outsells Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini combined and all that...
They are companies who's employees wear Amazon uniforms, drive Amazon branded vans, deliver packages only for Amazon, Amazon determines the routes and performance metrics for the employees, Amazon can dismiss the employees without waiting for approval from the companies management.

These employees are Amazon employees in all but name.
I worked with a guy who had a Bachelor's from
Harvard and was a mid-level HR manager in a
boring suburban part of a boring state for a

I... don't think that anybody is claiming that literally every single individual who went to Harvard is successful. Surely you see that this discussion is about trends and aggregates?
Putting solar panels on roofs doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Per kWh, rooftop domestic PV costs can be unto 10 times more expensive on a levelized cost basis (https://www.lazard.com/media/2ozoovyg/lazards-lcoeplus-april...) compared to a ground based utility/grid scale installation.

In fact, adding any complexity to a solar panels hardly makes any sense any more because of the incredible fall in panel prices (by 90% in about 12 years).

This price fall has made a lot of solar ideas defunct. For example, when panel prices were much higher, solar plants often had mechanical systems to orient panels to track the sun - but now nobody bothers - it's cheaper and simpler to just install an extra 10 or 20% more panels and have a no-moving-parts/low maintenance system.

Same with this idea - the extra complexity and maintenance cost of adding active cooling to a panel to increase efficiency by 10% - I cannot see the economics stack up.

For the same reason, the enthusiasm for the idea of installing solar plants in north africa and exporting power over interconnectors to Europe is gone. It's cheaper to install twice as many panels in a field in cloudy northern Europe (where capacity factors are half of what they would be in the Sahara) than deal with the costs and complexity of underwater interconnectors and transmission system upgrades.
English is my second language bro - tenses and ridiculous spelling rules was hard enough :).
Are you sure?

Things I read online say it's free, including https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download

As I understand, the only costs with RHEL include using it across a large number of machines in enterprise, and customer support. Someone using it on a few machines in a home lab should be fine I imagine?
Every linux distribution, IMO, has a sweet spot niche.

You run Arch if you want that critical mass of bleeding edge community support/maintenance. Fedora for a pre release RHEL. Clear Linux for absolute x86 performance. Immutable distros like Kionite or SteamOS for focused tasks and stability. Gentoo for embedded stuff or weird patches. Mint for an old (but stable) base.

And you run Ubuntu because it is default linux. Its what you have to deal with on your cloud instance or work server or whatever. It is possibly the only thing some specific software you want is packaged/tested on.

So Rhino linux is... Ubuntu, but rolling? If it actually works with Ubuntu targeted packages, thats pretty cool, as it would take tons pain out of Ubuntu.
Well, there's also another way, you could add much more smoke. If no oxygen, no fire, right :D ?

I'd start with this book: https://www.amazon.com/Wiring-House-Sixth-Rex-Cauldwell-dp-1... (prerelease, but the earlier versions are good)

It'll give you a really good introduction to house electrical systems, things like "any panel that is connected directly to the utility is the main panel, any panel that is connected to a panel with a shutoff is a sub panel".

Very mixed. I hadn't done any app development before this project, only games with Gamemaker and the Godot engine. Coming from that background, SwiftUI was very easy to pick up. In general, if SwiftUI has the feature or UI element you want, it's super nice and concise. If it doesn't, you're pretty much screwed. Also, Apple doesn't really understand the term "backwards compatibility" when it comes to SwiftUI. Without doing a ton of work on workarounds, I was only able to target Ventura or newer.

I imagine we will be hearing about the rise of piracy again in the next 6-12 months.

I’m definitely not interested in paying 20/mo per service as is the direction we are heading.

It will be interesting to see which streamers win and which fail then get bought up. In 5 years, we could see consolidation get us back to a reasonable number of services rather than the current situation.

In reality, ad free streaming will likely be the first casualty. And we will be back to cable tv.
Or I could simply never, ever buy a home with an HOA, unless it's a condo.

> "microgrid also eases the burden on the local utility, because it can disconnect from the larger grid during a period of overload". (Either the microgrid doesn't have enough power or has too much; either way it'd be better to share its resources, no?)

Maybe, but probably not. The microgrid is often much more expensive than the regular grid, and provides noisy power that the grid doesn't want. Think diesel generators. Getting those power sources to sync up with the grid is tricky and adds much higher costs to equipment that most places don't need.

Some utilities will give you a discount on your power if a few times on their busiest days you agree to disconnect from the main grid and run your backup. These are days when power is most expensive for everyone (the grid is running their more expensive power sources), so that the microgrid is also using expensive power balances out. It is generally only considered worth doing this if you already are thinking about having a microgrid that can work when the local power goes out. However if you are already thinking about installing such a system you can save a lot of money by being able to separate from the regular grid on demand - but it isn't enough to pay for the install and maintenance costs of the microgrid.

Now if your microgrid is solar you provide clean power that is easy to sync up with the rest of the grid. To make solar work as a micro grid requires expensive batteries (which need to be maintained and replaced correctly). So for solar installs connecting to the grid makes sense if you can as it is cheaper. Even if you do want the microgrid for power outages, you can get by on a much cheaper system if you don't buy a system large enough to handle your worst case usage (which is a long sequence of cloudy days in winter)
