> Because if you can undermine me, if you can make me fail, if you can reduce our ability to get promoted and reduce our ability to get ahead, you prove that we didn’t belong in the first place.

Spot on, most of the time it is covert tactics like this, by undermining, credit taking, and not giving the proper tools and authority to carry on the work and succeed, it is a crafted environment to make it eminent to fail, or at least, not having the glory of success.

I honestly never understood anyone who carries out these shenanigans, I mean, you and them are slaves to that corp, why are you trying to feel you are a better slave to that said corp and making someone else life worse!? Be nice, it doesn’t take much effort.
Not if local generation is fossil fuel with its unpriced externalities and shadow subsidies.

Bring on the sodium ion grid storage! Also, I'd think California has the terrain to do pumped hydro storage.
"Fall" or "Head" is key: how much height and water pressure you have to work with.

I'm lucky to have 9 acres of steep valley with 40ft difference between the top and bottom, and a lake below me i could use freely. Perfect setup for pumped hydro storage.

My run through the numbers (which could well have been wildly mistaken) suggested i might see a maximum of 200 Kwh of power storage. That would have required (wild guess) $200k+ of dirtwork (for which EPA permits and "waters of the United States" issues would've been involved). It would've required $10k? of not common generator and machinery and another several thousand in transporting the power from the foot of the dam to the load.

The economics of it made lead-acid batteries look good.

double or triple the height available and it might be more appealing.
No he means from the Console app on macOS. It's not the same as the Terminal app, which it sounds like you're referencing. It's a log viewer that's installed by default but tucked away in Applications/Utilities. It's similar to dmesg I guess.
And HOA.

I can’t wait to find a neo bank that works for hoa, I can’t understand why, in my view it should be just a pretty good target market or am I missing something? Definitely safer than small biz/startups, and (I assume) with cash available.
> I can understand why they make the multi-workspace use cases harder

Can you explain your reasoning? I can't think of any reason they would want people using less of their product.

I work for an Indian WITCH type company in US. There is an ex cop who is now a manager in our office. Some time back, him, 2 male colleagues and a female were talking. The topic changed to about a brown guy. The cop guy asks is he a dot guy or a blow up guy (Indian or Arab). There are several Indians sitting around him including women hearing all this. Then he starts talking about penis. I think he was asking the female if she has penis or something. The female then excused herself saying I think that's enough for today. No one seems to have gone to HR about him yet.
Thank you for offering to host a forum engine for me!
Not a developer and I use Sublime Text everyday as a local note taking app. Is so so snappy, and the UI/colors are calm and attractive. I love Sublime Text.

I guess I don't get the license message as the op because I don't save the tabs, all catched.

I tryed obsidian for some time and was cool, but was miles behind in snappiness and wasn't worth it.
Fun fact, if you type your password, it will show up as ***
So long as we don’t lose sight of its utility as a chat app. I like that projects have that sort of communication channel.
Wow that would be amazing. Wanna create an issue for a native iOS client and we'll discuss there?

I’m interested in these numbers can you expand? Thank you.
Even more innovative would be having the ports on a WIRELESS keyboard. Instead, we have various proprietary attempts at solving the mouse+keyboard problem.

The big advantage is that Quiet doesn't make you set up a server or rely on someone else's.
Is there really any alternative? Data migrations are always going to be terrible. You need to slowly roll out the incremental changes so that everything is backwards compatible until you the threshold point where you can finally delete the historical route.
> then establish your career in something you're passionate about regardless of how lucrative it is

Yeah this is the part I’m stuck at. You can’t just “establish your career in something you’re passionate about”, lucrative or not.
> they didn’t do anything

Are you sure? Do you have any evidence that the vaccinated who caught COVID would not have had worse symptoms had they not been vaccinated?

I’m pretty sure all the stats at the time showed greater infection rates, greater hospitalisation rates, and greater mortality among the unvaccinated than the vaccinated.

EDIT: spelling
Oh nice, even more misleading product pages
I think they're' pointing to the recent trend of 3D animation studios other than Pixar and DreamWorks.
My experience is no one gives a shit if it happens outside of work hours. Maybe if you can establish yourself to pseudo-celebrity status within the particular niche?
I'm reminded of Michael Larson, the guy who successfully hacked Press Your Luck, racked up over $110,000 while on the show, and then lost it all in bad real estate deals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Larson

If you find yourself in a lot of money, your best bet is a diversified portfolio of stable, slow-earning assets. Newton was brilliant, but not immune to the tantalizing excitement of "striking it rich" with a big investment. You might say... he pressed his luck.
It simplifies p2p network design and removes the need for us to run STUN/TURN servers.
By solidify do you just mean "a feasible option"? Maya is still very popular if not moreso than blender.
You could give them a false number and see what happens. That might trip up their script enough to reveal they aren't who they seem to be. Just play dumb -- "I can't understand why it's not working, that's the number on my phone...."
If I can't update the data and I need an API to do that, then it's a static site. I don't need a database in the first place.
This sounds very much like crippling effects of an "antivirus", not AMD/Windows as such.

Which just brings it to where it was in 2021, which is the highest it's been since 1965?

> Its higher than a long term average of 62% and lower than all time high of 75% following WW2 when unions were in their heyday.

Is "following WW2" January of 1957 where it was 75% or August of 1957 where it was 65%. I'm thinking there's some margin of error in those 50s numbers.
I had a surface in 2018 and it was really good.
This and NAT holepunching!
Not to detract from Pieter (he actually says this often) but his success is strongly tied to his persona and the brand and community he's built around it, starting from his "12 Startups in 12 Months" stint.

Wasm is anything but 'secure'.

You should go watch any of the numerous blackhat presentations on wasm or just talk to some of the security researchers out there. You can do attacks that most people haven't been able to do for 20+ years.

Wasm has horrible security.
You’d think by now editor configs could be easily migrated/translated between products.

The difference of course is someone at Jane street could like match or exceed you at your niche if they cared, whereas the opposite is unlikely.
Physically based rendering support is already pretty robust. The bigger things holding Godot back were more game centric, like screen space occlusion object culling to help with rendering large scenes. However lots of those sorts of features have been added in recent releases.

Even with encrypted DNS, the unencrypted host name is usually part of the TLS handshake (or the server wouldn’t know what certificate to present to you).
Yeah I had to re-enroll my phone when I got a new one a few years ago.

I never did get around to doing all of them so I still have the old phone in a drawer for those rare times I need it.
Just what we need, more generic verbose product descriptions that I'd normally never even read...

AI is the epitome of quantity over quality, and Amazon already has a problem with the latter.
> There's no way to disable Lazy Loading on Android Chrome or Android Firefox.

I haven’t tested it, but I would expect that Firefox for Android would still support going to about:config and changing… hmm, looks like dom.image-lazy-loading.enabled is no more, so I suppose you can just set dom.image-lazy-loading.root-margin.bottom to an enormous number (probably don’t need to worry about top/left/right, but you can do them for good measure if you want).
Anecdotally, I seem to have had the opposite experience. I've been doing this for at least 15 years, and never had a negative reaction. With bank, credit card, or finance-related companies, they seem to understand immediately. With other callers I've gotten awkward pauses, but ultimately they were politely accommodating or at least understanding that some issue would have to be processed through other channels or postponed.

However, I don't have strict requirements. When a simple callback to the support line on the card, bill, or invoice doesn't suffice--and more often than not it does, where any support agent can field the return call by pulling up the account notes--all I ask for at most is an extension or name that I can use when calling through a published number. I'll do all the leg work, and am actually a little more suspicious when given a specific number over the phone to then verify. Only in a few cases did I have to really dig deep into a website for a published number through which I could easily reach them. In most cases it suffices to call through a relatively well attested support number found in multiple pages or places[1].

I'm relatively confident that every American's Social Security number (not to mention DoB, home address, etc) exists in at least one black market database, so my only real practical concern is avoiding scammers who can't purchase the data at
[black] market price, which means they're not very sophisticated. A callback to a published phone number for an otherwise trusted entity that I already do business with suffices, IMO. And if I'm not already doing business with them, or if they have no legitimate reason to know something, they're not getting anything, period.

[1] I may have even once used archive.org to verify I wasn't pulling the number off a recently hacked page, as it was particularly off the beaten path and a direct line to the department--two qualities that deserve heightened scrutiny by my estimation.
I was supposed to be in a debate in a class on geoengineering about whether we should pay Brazil to protect the Amazon (my partner) or attach BECCS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_...

equipment to their bioethanol factories.

(me, for that class I was the obligatory cornucopian engineer because it's in the freaking engineering school and somebody had to do it)

My partner had spent a lot of time in the Amazon on research projects where they would measure the amount of carbon being captured by trees over time by taking careful measurements with calipers, core samples, etc. He took me to a lecture by an invited professor who showed us videos of how clouds moved over the Amazon. Unlike most places where rain mainly falls and makes it to the ocean, water evaporates and condenses multiple times over the Amazon and creates clouds that carry moisture in various directions including helping mountains in California to develop a snowpack.

There's particular a concern that that the boundary between the Amazon on the southwest side could migrate to the north because of a feedback between land use and climate and that's a reason to be concerned about the land use in that area, not just trees getting cut down.

The night before our debate one of my partner's friends tried to intervene in a fight in a bar and got stabbed and my partner wound up going up to Syracuse in an ambulance with his friend so I had to present both sides of the case.
Musing about APIs and the constant complaints about "abuse" and "bots", I think it would be an interesting experiment to set up an API where when a user hits the daily limit, instead of just being "blocked" (which according to complaints does not really work due to use of proxies), the user is sent a link to the database for download. The daily, updated database could be hosted on something like Backblaze. Would this satiate the demand for the data in a more efficient way than an "API".
Who cares what investors think?
I was really excited about fly.io at one point but after reading all the recent posts(1) on HN I don't have trust in their services anymore. Hope they are working on improving system stability first.

This article is talking specifically about <img loading="lazy">, not progressively-loaded content, which is quite a different kettle of fish.

(Specifically, everyone agrees progressively loading your content is to be avoided if possible, whereas “add loading=lazy to your images” is common performance advice.)
A lot of people think that by using Tor they are routing traffic for others, but this isn't the case. Is this what you mean?

We don't want to turn people off with the use of Tor (since it makes connecting more reliable and is quite fast for chat once connected) so I'd love to learn more about the objection.
If you're concerned about this kind of thing, and OK with the reduction in surface, you may consider just using your browser as the way you are protected. With a normal browser, this doesn't exactly work, as obviously it doesn't change your IP, still tracks you, and any zero days still expose your machine.

But at dosaygo, we're working on something called a remote browser, which runs on a remote machine, and therefore you have a different IP address. You can incorporate a proxy service or VPN if you want but it already is 1 layer removed from your local machine, which is great for protecting you from browser zero days too. Check us out, we're open source but you can also get licenses for commercial use cases where you don't want AGPL-3.0: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxPro.git
Yes! It's basically ricochet plus group chat and async messaging! Ricochet was a huge inspiration for us.

I remember back in the day purchasing 5 years for WhatsApp and I convinced a few friends to do so after a lot of convincing.

It felt great even though I was being laughed at by many. I contributed to the great work these guys pre-Facebook were doing.

To me it felt like buying me some good karma for when I sell my software.

Now I pay for Telegram and I only have WhatsApp out of network effects.
To me, that’s one of these “reading mode” apps.

It works ok most of the time, but I really wish there was a standard for that that browsers could just implement, rather than these (often centralized) apps having to reverse engineer it.

The one I use even belongs to a browser vendor, yet they’re trying to constantly upsell me a premium subscription.

No, it's more like not letting the most advantages citizens get even more unfair advantages.
Two things which seem concerning with this: the "per install" (as opposed to some percentage of revenue) rubs the wrong way; and that this applies retroactively to games built on Unity even before this was announced.

This post doesn't clarify what happens if someone deletes the game (to save disk space), then installs it again, despite this being the most basic question. They've since clarified that re-installs count, then re-clarified that re-installs don't count. -- I've seen it clarified that pirated copies of the game count towards this installation count. (Which discourages devs from releasing the game DRM-free).

Another incentive is for devs to then focus on in app purchases, since IAPs aren't subject to this Unity fee.

It reminds me of Darth Vader's line: "I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further."
Another fascinating thing about the Newton story is its parallels to Archimedes and the "eureka" moment. Both stories involve the most famous physicist of the day being asked to protect the integrity of royal gold. (Archimedes was asked by the king of Syracuse to detect whether a goldsmith had been adding baser metals to an offertory gold crown.) And both involve famous scientists bending the rules of evidence and procedure to catch a thief – in Archimedes' case, the modern consensus is that simple water displacement would not be sufficient to distinguish pure gold from a gold/silver alloy.
Reminds me of a situation early in my career where I was talking with the CTO about some security concern and I said "well it's all on the internal company network" and he immediately said "why on earth do you think you can trust our internal network?"
The "unwilling to pay for quality tools" is too shallow to be honest.

One one hand we all pay a lot for quality hardware for instance, those machines aren't free. Or we see people spend ungodly amounts on keyboards.

On the other hand, I don't see carpenters paying an arm and a leg for high quality tables. Nor home architects paying millions to other architects to build their homes. So why are people expecting programmers to be forthcoming about paying other programmers to build their tools ? Sure one can't build everything by themselves, but at its core people will try to only pay for what is absolutely good value (or they have no choice than to pay), and not just throwing money at "quality tools".
What happened to keeping things simple and scaling them?

Or did that train leave a long time ago?
> why should Europeans fund a foreign proprietary tech

They aren't. They are funding CCS chargers with CCS Type 2 Combo plugs that can be used by all EVs.

Here's a BMW charging on a Tesla V2 charger:

Tesla's new V4 chargers come with displays and card readers thanks to sensible EU (and UK) regulation:

The V4 Tesla chargers still aren't that great compared to other charger manufacturers, but it's an improvement over Tesla's V2 and V3 chargers.
Flutter is not a bad choice if you want to build a cross platform app.

Question: if one day truckloads of servers suddenly arrive at your workplace from another data center (they were not gracefully shutdown) and you're told to bring them online asap, what are the steps you'll do to bring them online again and make sure all applications running on those servers start again? Not sure how many servers in those trucks, but the old data center contract was $100MM/year. How long it'll take you to do it? Your team is also recently hit with a terrible round of layoff, leaving only a skeleton crew.
[2020]. I remember laughing out loud when I saw this then, and I did so once again seeing it tonight.

This is the sort of "Nobody should do this, but why not try it?" sort of programming project that I love to see. Using a language in completely inappropriate ways is a great way to learn more about computing, and especially about how there's more than one way to represent a problem.
It’s probably a hardware issue.

My Macs stay up for months and have since Jaguar days. I use them for around 7-8 years, after that hardware starts to glitch or get obsolete. I can count on one hand the number of kernel panics I’ve had on each during this time.
Managers can’t even handle the lack of perceived control from letting employees work from home three days a week.

People have been saying this for decades now, meanwhile the number of well paid software jobs has grown tremendously the entire time. What do you think has changed that will reverse this trend in the next few years?
This guy is a died in the wool hard leftie so I think it is right on target for "hacker news".

Selfishly, this will be a minor win for me. I occasionally like to try indie games from itch. For safety reasons, these are obviously run inside a VM. Unity games have always run like garbage on this setup, so the more developers migrating off the platform, the better for me.
A pun to LandRover
So this raises a good question, does this essentially end the inclusion of all Unity games in Humble Bundle and Choice? These programs result in a ton of installs for very little revenue per install going back to the dev.

A real common thing is for a game studio to release a new installment in a popular franchise, and then make the previous installment(s) available through a Humble promotion to advertise it. This is a great model, gamers get cheap and good games, the studio gets more exposure for its franchise that leads to full price purchases in the future. (Worked on me with Divinity Original Sin and some others)

It feels like Unity has just killed off this model. Screw them, I now hope Unity goes out of business ASAP.
Lots of cars don't have Bluetooth for audio. For example, we have a 2013 Mini that (somewhat inexplicably) supports Bluetooth for phone calls but has no provision at all for music over Bluetooth. But it does have a auxiliary audio input.

Neither of the other two vehicles in our household have Bluetooth at all, but they both have aux inputs. Bluetooth is a shitty workaround to intentional, anti-consumer stupidity. Just as almost every car (even cheap-O rental cars) integrated auxiliary audio inputs, Apple removed the audio output from their best-selling music player (the iPhone). And when gutless consumers allowed them to get away with it, everybody else followed suit and now we've regressed decades.

Twenty years ago I built an iPod dock into my car, into which I could plop my iPod (and later iPhone) and get power into the phone and audio directly into the stereo system. The phone charged, and delivered good audio quality. As a bonus, it did so without the need to dick around with two volume controls, since the 30-pin connector had a proper (fixed) line-level audio output that didn't vary with volume adjustments on the phone.

This is a level of convenience and performance that very few people enjoy now, and that is pathetic. Manufacturers have intentionally degraded so many of our consumer-electronics experiences with no payoff for us, and very questionable payoff for them.
