Absolutely. I dumped most of my PIs for older mini-PCs and NUCs. Throw in a bit more RAM and run Proxmox on it. Way better stability, functionality, and manageability.

If you have 3 of those, you can run a Proxmox cluster, which is a godsend for applications like Home Assistant, which require stability and uptime.

The only time I use a Pi these days is when I need to interface with something via the GPIO pins. Netbooting increases the reliability vastly.
I wonder if the survey question was something misleading like "Do you prefer to spend time looking through cooler doors or at an LCD TV with programming for you?"
Agreed. The difficulty of the trade-off to me indicates that we are near the optimum in aviation security (at least concerning cockpit doors).

I think yellow and amber are a good example of similar confusion in English. According to the NYS driver's manual, traffic lights are yellow and marker lights on vehicles are amber. They both look yellow to me. Doing some research around the Internets, I see people insisting that governments always call traffic lights amber, but that's not true. Either way, nobody knows what "amber" means except people manufacturing lights and people that just looked it up because they're reading a comment about it. But, again, if you ask someone "is the middle traffic light amber?" they'd probably say yes, just like Japanese people will be happy to mark the green light as ao.
> The beta-amyloid connection to Alzheimer's has issues (outright fraud among them), and the opposing viewpoint (that fermented foods, especially those with live active cultures (though admittedly not studying this variant specifically AFAIK), help resist AD or decrease symptoms after onset) has decent supporting literature as well.

This is interesting to me. Do you have a link to a good overview of the fermented foods argument?

Over the years, I've noticed that most (although certainly not all) highly experience and skilled devs are rigorous and unapologetic about taking time off. I didn't take the clue for a long time, though.

Then I burned out. Now, I recognize that taking time off and sticking to 8 hour workdays (except in actual emergency situations) is a professional responsibility as well as a personal one, because it helps to reduce the risk of burnout, and burnout is bad for literally everybody.
Clustering HN Posts
I spend way too much time scanning NH to find only a few posts that I want to examine, but it's important to me to find those posts. I can not anticipate what topics will be of interest. Is there an app that will review current posts and cluster them so I only have to quickly identify the clusters before looking at individual posts in interesting clusters?
> How many users pick one solution over another because it's quicker?

Isn’t that what drives the most sales in upgrading a phone? Idk many people that care about the microscopic improvements to the camera or UI, most of the time it’s something along the lines of “my iPhone 8 doesn’t run fast enough anymore, time to upgrade”. Same with consoles. I remember one of the big pitches of next gen consoles being “look! No more loading screens!”. And even ChatGPT 3.5 vs ChatGPT 4. There are tons of people that will use crappier output because it’s faster. Speed is still absolutely a selling point, and people do care.
>But it’s simply not correct to claim that we’re stuck in the tradeoff our ancestors made when they settled down to farm.

I mean we are because if we go back to hunting/gathering billions of people would die.

The point is that that at the time, farming produced worse nutrition, but despite that we couldn't go back once we started. There's a whole lot of other variables today that obviously prevent us from going back to hunting/gathering.

I’m not sure what to say here. I’d approach ideas from people who use incoming doom scenarios as excuses for empowering government very carefully. Almost feels like having Bezos keeping his dollars a better idea.
What if the computer isn't binary, but it needs to talk to a binary computer? Then you definitely can't go "oh, this text is binary anyway, I can just push it on the wire as-is and let the other end figure it out".
The realistic scenario is company does not advertise strong encryption services, just messaging services. Then the onus is on the government to prove the message went strong encrypted. But just government not being able to see their test message in the traffic they captured on servers controlled by government does not constitute a proof.

A proof would require government gets their black boxes in almost every switch/router. Which I suppose is the end game.
I used NBC as my example instead of PBS to illustrate my point regarding the dissonance between "Your company should also not be pressured to stop doing business with people [because of societal backlash]" and "Your company generally should not be forced to provide service to people", actually, because they need to run ads.

It goes like this: NBC runs a guy hurling racial slurs in their primetime slot. Society is outraged, stops tuning into Seinfeld: 2023, and generally the brand is tarnished. The party which pays NBC, their advertisers, stop wanting to pay for a brand that is associated with a guy hurling racial slurs.

NBC now has to voluntarily choose between advertiser revenue being correctly allocated away from them as a racial slur broadcaster towards their competitors on the principle of "we are not going to be pressured to stop doing business with racial slur guy", or to make more money. As a shareholder of NBC, I'd think it as very silly to choose option 1, and the invisible hand would have guided NBC to voluntarily drop this person simply because "your company generally should not be forced to provide service to people".

Does this make the dissonance between these two concepts that we're all talking about seem a bit clearer?
SVG is kind-of terrible for maps, but you can get pretty small with GeoPackage (read: sqlite). I recently spent a bit too long on exactly this problem and ended up with the following.

116KB - 5MB for country borders

16MB - 52MB for ~50K city/county level borders based on geoBoundaries

The range of sizes depends on how much custom compression/simplification you put into it. The source files are about 10x bigger, but that's already pretty small.

Topojson might be even smaller though.

That's like saying only engineers care about appliances that work long past the warranty expiration; users don't so business people value engineer it and everyone except the engineers are happy.

Except that's not true. Users do care they just don't have a choice in the matter. I have listened to many, many laypeople who have expressed frustration with software. They may not be able to articulate it to the extent that the quote does, but when they're stuck on 3G and they need to load a webpage that keeps timing out they get frustrated even if they don't know its because of the footprint, it's a poorly made SPA, or whatever.
"Divergence is still very expensive" is quite compatible with "Divergence is less expensive than before".

Here's evidence (not proof) that Nvidia would remove the hard limit of warp divergence (or perhaps more "precisely", *a warp is always synchronous across its 32 threads with divergence"): https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cooperative-groups/

I don't think it's misleading to talk about a "CUDA core" as a warp-wide processor, although it seems that Nvidia doubles the number (at least for gaming GPUs), presumably because of having both FP and INT pathways.
The newly formed Israel, that was formed because of constant (arguably terrorist) attacks on the British army, alongside actions against indigenous Palestinian Arabs (actions that could justly be called pogroms themselves), by Jewish separatists.

Those separatists were justifiably motivated, by the reality of the Holocaust, and the endless series of pogroms in pre-WWII Eastern Europe, to want a place of their own.

There was a certain kind of Jewish settler who decided that moving slowly back, and doing so in a friendly fashion to the people they were necessarily displacing, was unacceptable. it did not matter that other people had been living for centuries on the land they felt was theirs. It did not matter to them that most Jews were forced out of Palestine by ancient Rome.

I think a lot about the establishment of Israel in 1948, and the Landback movement here in the states. Is there a statute of limitations on giving land back to a displaced people? It feels like there should be.
> Parents and kids are much less adversarial than they once seemed to be. [...] Add in both increased societal acceptance of certain activities (sex, drugs, and drinking) as well as enormous reductions in those activities among teenagers

Not my experience, not what I see in my family and not what I see in neighbors' kids either. Every single parent I associate with has a kid that has weaponized CPS or other false abuse claims to keep parents in check. I've even been duped into calling them myself. Now when the neighbor's kid takes a domestic dispute into the street, I know what game he's playing.

They're also fragmenting their families with "___ makes me uncomfortable" verbiage that vaguely alludes to molestation or other crimes that they never seem willing to expand on when pressed. I swear this is a shared playbook or something (Casey Anthony? Freddy Got Fingered?); everybody started doing it all at once.

"You're not respecting my feelings" is another popular guilt tactic they exploit on gullible parents. Your feelings never matter quite as much as theirs though. Textbook example of mini-spouse syndrome.

Thankfully people started seeing through the "give me $40k for a sex change or I'll kill myself" hostage-taking ruse, especially when they didn't follow through after fundraising.

Some turn to just killing their parents to inherit early and avoid accountability. But "they say this never happens."

Hard to be much of a parent when you constantly have therapists, social workers and idiot grandparents hounding you about why you did ___ to smol babby Uwu.

The best part of course is getting fed up and kicking them out...once they moan about that on social media and blast the rest of the family, now you're even more of a villain. Every kid is an oppressed LGBT these days...a free mob comes with every membership.

It's real easy to get along with people once you've crybullied or humiliated them into submission.
> let reality hit a few folks in the face, wait for those prices to drop.

I don't think house prices will drop until there's a pressure on home owners to sell.

The two biggest reasons I can think are:

- People with ARMs unable to make payments
- People losing jobs

I remember well that, despite the many foreclosures in 2008, people that had no explicit reason to sell would hold on their homes for years until they were above water again. I distinctly remember houses going on sale, then going off market, over and over again until the owners could walk away at least without a loss.

As long as unemployment is low and not too many people got an ARM, I don't forsee this market undergoing a rapid correction.
The fault here lies with the US government for passing an easily abused law like the DMCA where there are woefully insufficient consequences for fraudulent takedown requests and where fighting fraudulent takedowns requires you to dox yourself to the individual committing DMCA fraud.

I can't blame businesses for not having sufficient staff to investigate takedown fraud when any business that did would probably be uncompetitive given how easy it is to send fraudulent takedowns and how much time and money it costs to investigate them. Most customers would almost certainly rather accept the risk of being the victim of a fraudulent DMCA takedown than pay extra to avoid it, in part because most people probably don't understand how easy it is to abuse the DMCA.
Continuing the response to my question separate from the article.

Where does the line get drawn on the spectrum of “everyone involved in this pressure campaign is part of a coordinated group” and “everyone involved in this pressure campaign is acting completely independently on their own views”?

Is it the coordination? Does 20% of your customer base dropping you as their vendor all independently because of another client of yours not allow you to drop said client because they all responded similarly? Some other metric?
Do you have a concrete criticism or just this tortured cliche?
I find it's the opposite. Marriages break up because it's a binary thing; they either get through the "last straw", or they get divorced. Contrast that with people in committed relationships who have a sea of grey to work with, and eventually make it work when it could have been a divorce if they were married.

I have no data, but I'd bet there are more 40 year olds in relationships of over 20 years than there are married people.
You are responding to points I have not made, I have not said that the government should come in and restrict anyone's rights. Please try harder to understand the discussion you are joining before making an essentially off-topic post.
Engineers understand that the entire discipline is about tradeoffs. It would be extremely easy to build reliable, secure, performant, robust, etc software given infinite time and infinite budget. Engineering is about working in the real world, where you don't have infinite time or budget.

Is it correct to build a piece of software that runs 50% slower, but can be built in 6 months instead of 12? The answer is "it depends" and good engineers will seek to understand the broader context of the business, users, and customers to make that decision.
Not their first. They were actually quite early with an EV. Though I can understand if you don’t think it counts.

A couple reasons:

Observations of her diet and symptoms. 2 main qualities being observed here. 1 is migraine/headaches, the other is confusion. Both seem to have a 1-2 day delay, e.g. eating a very triggering food then in usually 1 1/2 days she will have migraine/headache, likewise increased confusion. So the trigger foods originally had been observed to be dairy mainly, but we had come to realize many foods were also triggering it in a lower-grade dairy was just very noticeable. So for your hypothesis of it being exogenous carbohydrates, which is a fair hypothesis, for me the fact that dairy is such a trigger makes me think it's not the carbs so much as the whatever is feeding the candida. So basically one of the reasons I believe it's the candida is because observationally, the foods in her diet that caused migraine/headache/confusion lined up with the foods that fed candida. Then going on anti-candida diet we don't have any of those symptoms. Yes it could still be something else. Anti-candida diet is as you say, low-carbs and low sugar which is good for many things. The dairy part though, in particular, leads me to believe it's more than carbs.

Then there's the lab testing that shows in particular indications of a severe yeast infection in the gut, e.g. candida.

So taken together, I'm led to believe candida is the main thing affecting her, though I'm very open to it being something related and not candida as such, but still all evidence so far points to candida.

Large public platforms that have immunity of responsibility from what people post should also require a degree of hands off. Moderation vs responsibility should be the choice. You can have your tightly moderated small community, or you can have a huge public space.

I think this is the best approach i've seen in recent times. Welcome to hear other suggestions, but i think it's obvious that large public backbone services like tier 1 isps or also things like cloudflare should not be policing speech. I would extend that to services on the scale of facebook, twitter, reddit, etc, but probably not individual subreddits.

The only reasoning i see from people disagreeing with this is that they happy with what's getting policed at that moment and would immediately flip their lid if anything they like starts getting censored.
It is hard to say. That's an awfully vague situation and religion is a protected class in some jurisdictions for some reasons. As written though, it sounds like you're just afraid of something nebulous, and it's got nothing to do with political or economic ideologies.
>> I also don't get how the average person can defend the existence of the ultra wealthy.

For me, it's not that I think I will be ultra wealthy. But I have seen over and over where a rule (for example) may start with the ultra wealthy initially, but over time politicians gradually change the scope until it affects nearly everyone.
Unlike Germanwings, this incident thankfully didn’t involve a single pilot behind a cockpit door. Most airlines banned such a scenario after Germanwings. Here, the flight deck was occupied fully and the two on-duty pilots were able to overpower the assailant successfully.

Those claims appear to be in direct contradiction, and I don't see any immediate way to reconcile them.

First, this just isn't true. Some providers are choosing to pay fines instead of releasing their prices. More importantly though, there's no standardization of codes, so you can't actually compare the prices.

YC is a VC firm which is a very specific context that demands things like revenue and growth to be so prioritized as to be implicit and core features of the working ideology. That's not really a good model for software engineering when it comes to social benefit -- it prioritizes something else. It can demonstrate incidental social benefit but that's not actually an incentive that's built into the system that YC operates in and reflects internally.

Damoc is the principle and pretty much only competitor to Cooler Screens, in the cooler-with-a-screen space. I hesitate to endorse any implementation of this as a good idea, but if you accept the premise as Cooler Screens themselves articulate it, it's pretty obvious that Damoc has come up with a far better product.

I suspect that's part of the air of desperation in the Cooler Screens/Walgreens relationship. Cooler Screens doesn't actually have leadership on the technology so they need to hang on to their major customers to appear to be the mature, ready for business option.

This is an interesting question - why can't it be both? I always knew my parents would help me when I needed it regardless of the situation I'd got myself into. But I also knew they wouldn't want me spending Saturday in the woods getting drunk and so that was kept secret from them. I always felt like the kids that didn't have those rebellious experiences during high school (drink, drugs, sketchy situations) went totally off the rails at college because they were so unprepared for it.
The FizzBuzz test came about for similar reasons in 2007 - long before government pressures for DEI quotas[1].

The problem is computer science university degrees aren't enterprise training academies. "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." Universities aren't incentivized to fix this because universities are research institutions - they don't make money from placing students in jobs, so trying to solve this is a dead end.
