It’s because frequency range for MoCA overlaps with the upper frequencies of DOCSIS3.1. The modem was probably receiving/transmitting in the MoCA range and that data looked like junk. Installing a PoE filter at the modem prevents both of these at the cost of not being able to utilize some of the DOCSIS3.1 range which may result in reduced speed if you’re paying for 1Gb+ from your ISP.
I wouldn't call that a fundamental principle. A contentious state of affairs that we all begrudgingly live by because that's the world we are in. Nobody likes it when laws are crafted that create injustice because it is profitable. I personally am not an opportunistic person in that sense. I don't think someone has a right to shield themselves from liability for their actions. I don't try to do so, and I only passingly consider the legality of behavior I engage in, and only consider the ethics or morality. I would never engage in behavior that would cost someone else knowingly for my own benefit, legal or not. I'd like to live in and help build a society where, from first principles, when we understand the ethics or morals of certain behavior, if something is deemed unethical it is illegal, and likewise the opposite. That's me personally, and probably a lot of people. That's one of the reasons I don't live or work in SV. So I'd say no, it's not a principle and I agree, limited liability is not a moral right.

Which brings us back to the topic at hand: striking is not a moral right either.
> Quick question. Did you read my comment in full or just a few lines? Because I can't make sense of you disagreeing by stating the same thing I did.

You seem to imply there is an overall westcoast accent with minor reigonal variations. I'm saying that isn't the case at all.

> I feel like you're being overly pedantic and thus it's not an honest conversation. Is this a conversation or you telling me I'm wrong and nothing I say matters?

I'm not being overly pedantic, this is an honest conversation, it's not that I think nothing you say matters, but I absolutely think you were wrong with what you said. I think I made my point in a civil way. I wasn't trying to start a fight.

> Actors take classes on lots of accents.

Of course. Most will be more specific. Most actors will be taught the midwestern accent to be as clear as possible to the largest audience. That isn't true for other accent classes. It's funny you accuse me of being pedantic and not engaging in good faith when I feel this point was very obviously implicit in what I said.
It’s frustrating though since most foreigners can’t use the QR payment system and most places don’t take card. Thailand is the only place I need to carry cash.
Show HN: Online Timers
Minimal online date calculators and timers: pomodoro, countdown, stopwatch, alarm clock.

Pomodoro is easily configurable with the ability to add additional timers and to set predefined break activities. I like to add a few leg and core exercises (variations of squat and plank) and some stretching. Helps me to remember to move away from the monitor and relax the brain.

Microsoft Works
> This is why we have hundreds of Linux distros, which is fine for us who can sort our way through but average users throw their hands up in desperation.

This is probably a good thing for those who want something very particular.

For example, something like Ubuntu for the desktop, but without snaps everywhere - that'd be Linux Mint. Or maybe something like RHEL, but without necessarily having to (or being able to) pay - that'd be Rocky Linux or Alma Linux.

On the other hand, this also means that the community's efforts are spread thin, there's lots of fragmentation and the whole experience is just way more messy.

Instead of writing install instructions for The One True Linux Distro, you now need to write those for many, deal with multiple packaging formats and repositories, or just live with the reality that something available in one distro won't be available in another. I even had that issue with WireGuard, where it worked in Ubuntu but not Debian for a particular use case, shortly after it came out.

For as niche the types of BSD OSes are, they feel more coherent. I wonder what things would be like if we'd have similarly focused efforts for Linux, even stuff like one audio solution that's made to always work everywhere, one display server/compositor, one desktop that scales back to run as fast as XFCE or be as pretty as KDE.

But that's not how humans work and instead we'll just get new packages replacing older ones, sometimes for the better, but not always.

The very same thing applies to many FOSS software packages out there, but in a sense it's still better than some closed source package being abandoned and nobody ever being able to do anything about it.
Many countries have a single dominant privately owned e-cash system. The only alternative to a future with centralized financial systems, where the individual's right to transact won't be at the total mercy of the whims of forces they don't control (e.g. a corporation which deems their credit risk as unacceptably high, a political zeitgeist that deems their unwillingness to get vaccinated as making them deserving financial isolation, an authoritarian regime deeming their political outspokenness as too great a threat to their power, etc) is the ascendance of a permissionless decentralized financial system using a ledger with distributed consensus, like the public blockchain.
I guess most people forget the Ducommun scandal where dubious parts of unknown quality were shoved into 737 NG's on the assembly line. Numerous layers of the federal government, the parts on the side of the "strategic" interests and the MIC, came along and gaslit workers who knew better. The second link is a shining example of the revolving door. The 737 MAX lawsuit (1:19-CV-02170) was a travesty, a miscarriage, and purposeful deceit to rob individual victims' families of justice. Ralph Nader's niece's death was also swept up into that legal theater.

Not so much, actually. What really led to the rapid uptake of UPI was Covid and people's reluctance to handle cash as a result of it.

> like the public blockchain

Since this thread is about an article celebrating UPI's 10B transactions/month: That means between 4133 (28 days/month) and 3733 (31 days/month) transactions per second on average.

Bitcoin is at 7 transactions per second.

The bitcoin blockchain takes ~500GB these days. At UPI's transaction volume, it'd take 250TB by now, replicated at various sites.

Whatever you think of blockchain, it has some serious work ahead.
Showing an ISP is NOT personal information, full stop.

If I say *Comcast* are you going to be able to track me down? No. There are millions of Comcast subscribers. Even if it was an ISP of 1 customer, that still isn't personal information. If the ISP happens to leak the customer information from social engineering, that's on the ISP, not me.

All ASNs are considered to be public information. You are required by internet registry rules to be listed in a public database for everyone to see. As far as I can tell, most people would agree that listing stats like this is not considered personal information.

I did not joke about it in any way. I showed people a list to demonstrate that we had a lot of users from Asia yet they did not use our servers in Asia. Even if I did joke about it, it still doesn't make this personal information.

I have Andre LaMothe's "Tricks of the 3D Game Programming Gurus", which in recent years i've been using as a height lift for stuff (like a CRT in this photo[0]) as it is massive :-P

The book is nice but LaMothe needed an editor badly, not only there are endless reams of source code in the book (despite coming with a CD-ROM), he was also often incredibly verbose to the point where by the time i finished some section i forgot how it all began. IIRC the book was so big that it couldn't all be put in print and the last chapter (or chapters) were on CD-ROM. And the parts that were printed were still so physically big that i had a hard time reading it.

Also i think his focus was a bit too lopsided, he spent way too much on some things but barely on others. For example he spent a lot of time for various ways to do slightly different rasterizations (e.g. bilinear filtering - which, ok, it is the only gamedev related book or tutorial i know that mixed software rendering and bilinear filtering) but on the part about optimizing the renderer to not render invisible stuff (which at least IMO would be more important than doing bilinear filtering for a software rendering engine) he largely handwaved things.

All positives are accepted.

Concerns --

- Cronies of government have captured the technology stack making themselves key players that can control and monetize this space.

- Traceability of all petty transactions -- enabling building of super rich profile of individuals / orgs -- ripe with potential for misuse.

- Leaving a trail of your PII like name / UPI ID (which in some cases is your mobilenumber@upiprovider) / last few digits of bank account number etc with all random people you transact with -- like taking a rikshaw ride or buying potatoes in a street-side vegetable market. (99.9% of these are harmless -- but the small fraction can invite intrusion / enable harassment)

- Over enthusiastic adoption of digital payments to the exclusion of other options forcing people to use apps. And the newer payment mechanisms -- opening newer avenues for scamming the less savvy / elderly / vulnerable.

- Pushing this change to people rather than letting the benefits and convenience naturally lead to adoption -- after the flaws are slowly uncovered and fixed through early adoption by savvy people (see Demonetization of 2016)

- This blind worship of technology as a silver bullet that cannot be criticized (or you are labelled a foreign-sponsored detractor / anti-national / india-hater whatever) extends more broadly into adjacent areas like the Aadhaar national ID system, linking of it to all spheres of citizen services from birth to death including voting rights and banking.
When I worked for an ecommerce retailer in the UK, we had a title field, with some preset choices and a freeform other option.

The predicting value is only per-team. If your team does 10 points per sprint, it won't deliver 20. If it does 100, it will.

But it's an important tenet of scrum that velocity is only meaningful in a single team[0], the root management failure in OP's case is comparing different teams.

[0] and teams cheat themselves too. I recall one advice early in my career that a velocity increase with no underlying process change was likely to mean.. that the team started to overestimate complexity, and one should understand what went wrong.

Ask HN: What's the best book for a tech guy who's becoming CEO?
I have no idea how to run a company. Is there a book that covers some of what that means?
Agreed. Tim was not doing the job of a programmer if he never actually wrote code that delivered value. Tim was a coach. Which is fine if that's what you hired Tim for, but I suspect that if you wanted a coach, you would've hired one. Hard features simply can't be done by juniors even given infinite amounts of time: they just don't have the skills yet, and to gain those skills takes years. Sure, they need a senior to help now and then, but if that makes the senior developers produce nothing, then what's the point for the company?? Just give hard features to people who are senior enough to do them, and if you really want the juniors to learn, let the senior share easier parts of that work (and walk through what he's doing) with the junior.

It's very nice of Tim to help everybody else, but doesn't anybody find it odd that all the other programmers need lots of help in the first place, so much that Tim has zero time to deliver anything himself? Seems that the problem is not with Tim, but with management that thinks it's ok for a professional to need help all the time, and for a volunteer like Tim to be there for them any time regardless of what he's paid for (which in this case, was story points as made clear by the author).
Tiling became popular and there was growth in X11 tiling window managers, afterwards people started writing them for wayland. Tiling wms have become important aspect of productivity for some people.
That's an excellent point, as scalability has been the critical handicap of public blockchains to date.

Since then, layer 2s (which are the principal execution layer of the modular blockchain stack the article above expounds upon) have seen exponential growth in adoption, and mounting innovations bringing them progressively closer to their theoretical potential of 100,000 transactions per second:

How is that any different to what Visa and Mastercard can do? Speaking for myself, *every* purchase I make now, no matter how petty, is made with credit or debit-cards which go through their payment networks. The only exceptions are my house' landscaping (still uses paper cheques), buying weed (all my local dispensaries in WA are cash-only due to the federal bank embargo on the legal cannabis industry), or personal transfers over Zelle/PayPal/Venmo - so I'm sure Mr. Mastercard has compiled quite the dossier on me by now.
