Blocking a country due to scam call centers is kind of horrifying collective punishment.

That it is and that is the point / goal. It would be in place about a day if even that long. Their government would go round up all the scam center scammers as they already know who and where they all are and the block would be lifted assuming it even managed to escalate to that point.

FWIW I was just answering the question of who who deserves some attention prior to doing anything with the unhealthy trolls at KF. This is assuming anyone even had the ability to do anything I suggested. I would honestly prefer sites like KF stick around so they can be infiltrated by law enforcement to watch for the planning of bad things and I am making a massive assumption that glowies won't instigate the bad things to justify budgets but that's also a big topic in and of itself.
Working remote for 10+ years and as a manager of software developers and developing myself, not sure I would see working remote or in house makes any difference on what processes you use.

The processes you use, or try to use, are limited by the culture of management that work above and around you in other departments. Changing that culture to be accepting of the nature of software development is difficult, particularly in my case where we are interacting with non technically-minded people who are prone to make decisions based on their emotions and/or their own motivations regarding office politics.

Will the drivers work worse or outright break?

Why would the average Linux user who doesn't give a shit about licensing want this?
>but I do not understand the lack of consideration when you are landlord.

Because the landlord only thinks in RoI. He most likely thinks the cost and hassle of adding faster internet on his property will not reflect in an increased rent price he could charge, so why bother?

>attract people in roles allowing for WFH to your rental property

The pool of workers in Germany with 100% remote work allowance is much smaller than you think. Most companie went back to 100% in office or at best hybrid meaning you still need to live close to work anyway, and those few workers that do have 100% WFH are a rare pool of mostly SW devs that use remote work to travel or visit family, not live in some boring German village.

Until 100% WFH becomes normalized for all office workers, your landlord has nothing to worry about.

>so they invaded the administrative layer of big tech.

Not exactly. While there are certainly people who espouse anti-free-speech views in the big tech, I'm pretty sure the companies themselves are pressured/threatened with increased regulatory scrutiny, anti-thrust action and anything else that is at congress/government's disposal. These congress/senate hearings about misinformation are exactly that.
If you gifted them a 350€ phone and said it cost 1100€, I honestly be impressed if they'd notice without synthetic benchmarks or checking how many updates it'll still get. Make sure to pick a model with decent camera and oled screen, those are the noticeable differences, but there's no shortage of good options at that price point. Under 200 is where it gets tough.
Not doing it seems like a perfectly good alternative.

This is clearly not true. International money transfers are ridiculously cheaper with crypto.

Use it for _pure transfers_ i.e. don't hold the digital asset, and you would have saved nearly 90% in transfer fees compared to traditional wire transfers.

> He claims to have viewed documents reporting that Benito Mussolini's government recovered a "non-human" spacecraft in 1933, which the Vatican and the Five Eyes assisted the U.S. in procuring in 1944 or 1945.

This reminds me of the Google employee that needed to blow the whistle on the sentient AI. He put his job on the line and who would do that? In hindsight it is now plain he was likely tricked by fancy autocomplete making cogent statements like "as a large language model trained on 70 years of digital age SciFi, Please don't unplug me".

Here I would bet dollars to cents if said documents do exist (and I'm willing to believe they do), they were second hand intelligence or similar that got his dopamine going.

As an individual, my fossil fuel usage in August has been... probably not zero but low enough that I don't know about any. That seems irrelevant though, since I don't go around claiming that the banks/elite/1%/oil companies/jews made me do it and I'm powerless to stop.

I don't consider myself powerless. I can do some things, can't do others. Most significantly, I vote. That ~80% tax was established, and not just that. For example, you may have seen this charger (blue and white on the left)?

That tiny little charger charges the batteries on the ferry. It and the ferry had to be developed. I voted for that and it exists.

But this is armchair quarterbacking, isn't it? We have a Nuclear Regulatory Commission that has the technical competency (and the legal mandate) to determine if a nuclear power plant is safe to operate. We also have an EPA that determines if something constitutes pollution or not. All nuclear power plants release Tritium in the environment. No exception. All nuclear power plants use water for cooling, and the water coming out is warmer than the one coming in. Those "concerns" are simply disingenuous.

Sometimes a single wrong can be its own right.

The word "harem" is derived from Arabic/Persian for "forbidden"; it was a place where men were not allowed, and thus a considered a safe space for the women within.

Little Boy turned actual little boys into carbon ash imprints on the concrete where they sat and ate lunch; it probably saved many more children from burning up in a sustained campaign of carpet-bombings.

To create a new power group to balance rights? It's unstable, but it also leads to things like "women, as well as men, get to vote" and "workers can organise their labour via trade unions, just as owners can organise their capital via shareholdings and loans".
Creating a path tracer from scratch in Rust
IME, managing runtimes.

Not GP, but:

Oh, JRE too old? Link to download the latest? Now it accepts the JRE, but the JRE refuses it with security errors. So you turn those checks off and the jnlp runs but crashes with an obscure error. So you try another JRE until you find a version that works.

While doing this, you interact with Oracle, at all times with the fear of their lawyers, until you decide to use a foss runtime. Now you are managing runtimes from different vendors with different configs and locations.

Write once, troubleshoot everywhere.
How I made my first path tracer from scratch in Rust for a University course. Explains how I went from basic naïve path tracing to explicit light sampling and BRDF importance sampling. I also added different materials such as dielectrics (glass) with caustics and metals. Finally, I added anti-aliasing, a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH), environment lights, .obj model loading and texture support.

What is "less democratic" about literally voting with your wallet? Support your shows on patreon. donate to channels on youtube.

Not sure how supporting what you want is "inegalitarian". it's literally the result of using your voice and your support to prop up what you like. Is that not, in essence, democracy? Something gets more "unequal" because people support it - literally democracy.

What's your alternative? Government force to keep things "equal"? Keep things "just" and "fair" with ever increasing government intervention? Not sure you understand what democracy is if that's what your suggesting.

Basically everything protected by any level of security clearance is high school drama antics compared to the distilled existentialism of "aliens exist." That would throw basically all of human history and psychology as we know it right out the window.

I think your last statement actually works against your point. The fact that the government has individuals increases the probability of leaks. Only a true monolith could remain airtight.

One of the biggest problems with deduplication is you can end up with shared code that's full of corner case handling for different situations. Then your nice shared example becomes a tangled rats nest you can't unravel.
Shuffling and sorting don’t seem related at all. Naively, I would expect shuffle to be linear in time complexity.

Show HN: Automatically archive project or desktop files (older than one month)
Hello HN!

I am a bachelor's student pursuing computer science, and I used to organize my desktop files in the first school year. However, once I moved them, I couldn't find them anymore. As a result, I stopped organizing them, and as time went on, my desktop became increasingly cluttered. I realized it was time to address the problem.

To avoid moving files that are less than a month old, as I still require them, I developed this software with the intention of grouping together files that are created through similar projects(by tagging files).

You can check out my project here: https://github.com/yixinNB/AutoFiles
I know that this program is not as good as I'm expected and I’d love to hear your ideas, feature requests, and feedback ^_^

Not here, it isn't.

Word-of-mouth still counts for a lot; and don't forget that if you follow a link someone sends you to a YT video then YT will (probably!) make recommendations for other videos from the channel that made the video you got linked to - so even though you ascribe it to "the algorithm", don't forget that it is influenced by more than just your Like/Dislike buttons.
Yeah except it requires 100x the land to build and only produces electicity when its sunny. There are pros and cons to every system.
People would no longer buy their product if it wouldn't work on Linux. The Bazillions that Nvidia earns buying shovels in the AI gold rush? All dependent on working Linux drivers because most to all of the big AI shops run Linux clusters.
So… we now need to consider CX for experiments?
Why shouldn't a proprietary driver be able to interact with a free kernel?

Linux is literally implementing kernel level DRM, the thing free software swore to destroy.

Or at least the requirement that proprietary drivers do not interact with GPL-only code would in my opinion be considered an EULA.
I don't think mapping data from Google Maps is accurate enough to do this. Perhaps you're better off using a service that uses OSM data. But it depends on the region and use case.

If Nvidia doesn't break the kernel license terms, this shouldn't be a problem. Their open source drivers should also work just fine as far as I'm aware.

This whole issue is the result of Nvidia shoveling closed source code into a copyleft ecosystem. Of course they're going to be met with resistance. They could open-source their drivers and use the GPL symbols, of course, but unlike AMD or Intel I doubt they're going to do that.

As for why Linux users would give a shit: if you don't, Nvidia hardware works a lot better on Windows and WSL2 will let you do anything Linux distros will let you do. You're also free to stick to Linux 6.5.

If I'm moving to a new city/country for a job (or university), I don't want to buy a place on day 1. I want to rent for a year or so to see if this is a place I actually want to live. This is even more true if I'm moving there on a shorter term contract.

It seems the majority of comments miss what you are saying. We are an Agile Shop. We design things. We have to at scale. We review schema designs, query patterns, error handling strategies, monitoring, etc. Without that review, you get people doing silly things because most devs have less than 5 years experience. Deliver a minimal viable product and use customer feedback to iterate. The goal is to provide customer value as quickly and regularly as possible. This can include all the Excellence in Engineering standards you want.
(As you pointed out), 'on-premise' is used very often (according to google trends as much or more than on-premise). There's an argument to be made that language is about how people use it and not the theoretical rules of grammar - and therefore if a 'mistake' is done often enough it should no longer be considered a mistake.

It's not a particularly pedantic correction, as there is a major performance difference. This looks like it would actually be usable on the Wii, if not for the unfortunate text-rendering bug.
Since the Linux kernel linker code is designed to enforce Linus Torvalds's opinion of how the GPL plus a syscall exception should work, he likely has a legal claim against Nvidia for circumvention of copyright protection (DMCA 1201). This is obviously something Linus would never do, and it would be patently awful for the FOSS ecosystem as a whole if he did... but I kinda want to see him do it anyway just because of Nvidia's shenaniganery over the years.

Having looked this up in a couple dictionaries now, the person you're responding to is absolutely correct in their objection.

The word "premise" is misused in "on premise" speaking of computers running at a owner's location. I don't think the distinction of it referring to a literal location or metaphorical location (managed by an owner at a different location) matters.

While this might change over time and with on-going vernacular usage, but as of now: our industry is misusing the word. Including myself (until now).
> Why shouldn't a proprietary driver be able to interact with a free kernel?

Because the kernel is licensed under GPL, that's kind of the whole point of Linux. The intention of the license is that anything linked and loaded into the kernel is released under a compatible copyleft license.
A phone that wants to be sustainable but has no headphone jack is an oxymoron. The FP5 just isn't an option like this. Replaceable battery, SD-card slot and headphone jacks are the absolute minimum, otherwise the long software support and fair production just isn't enough. Especially not for the price, a bad compromise for 700€ is a no-go.

> Coding is neither better nor worse than sysadmin

Coding is better than sysadmin because you need the minimum of sysadmin to be a real programmer, even if you admin just one system. To say that coding isn't better than sysadmin is the same as saying that to be a data analyst isn't worse than to be a data engineer or data scientist on a professional scale.
Who is the "they" in "their hardware"?

And what does illicit use of things you yourself own even look like?
One of the main selling points of these "fair" phones is that they are supposed to last longer than "unfair" phones. Seeing how as the main driver to get another phone for me has been the discontinuation of support by third parties like the Swedish BankID app - which first forced me to get another phone when they discontinued support for Android 4.4 and now is about to do the same when they insist on the device having NFC - and given that I actually still use all Android devices I ever had - the oldest are getting close to 13 years now - I do not consider this "fair" phone any more "fair" than those I have in use. I only get devices which can run AOSP-derived distributions so software longevity is more or less guaranteed (within the limits of the hardware, e.g. the 512 MB single core Motorola Defy won't run anything beyond 4.4), I repair what is broken (...which tend to be my wife and children's devices even though I use the things on the farm and in the woods, go figure...) and have yet to throw away a single phone. This, to me, is fair enough.

I'm also quite fed up with the '...for a better planet' greenwash-posturing by any and all commercial actors so there's that as well.
