> Sentry abandoned open source

sentry from github works most of the time, but the setup process is such a PITA.
The design is one of the things that keeps me uninterested as well. Why does nearly every car company need a brand new, futuristic design for their EV offerings. I just want the same SUV I already have as an EV.
If I right click on an item I get a block element option in the context menu. But that doesn't seem to make them persist. I usually use it to make irritating popups go away that I'm to lazy to read or that seem intentionally confusing since it is less mental load to just zap it blindly.
I've owned a Model 3 for over five years (~100K miles) and a Model Y for over 3 years (~45K miles). $0 maintenance excluding replacing the tires. This has been a game changer for me, since I perform my own maintenance on all of the vehicles I own - it's made me lazy about cars and I love it. :) Of course I cannot replace the batteries and I will have to have that done sooner or later, and who knows how much that will cost.

My friend has worked as a mechanic for some years and completed his diesel mechanic certification a year ago because the need for gasoline engine mechanics is likely going to decrease substantially before he can retire.
I'm a young person in exactly the same boat. The screens are straight up dangerous and would for sure land my ADHD Gen Z ass in the hospital. Also the only reason I ever drive are road trips to get out to national parks and the like, so yeah, not really a practical application for EVs. At home I use public transit for commute, groceries, etc.
So how did IBM manage to produce mainframes, with software/firmware included, that achieves six 9s uptime?
Cars sold today with a CCS port will be able to charge with NACS with a passive adapter. NACS speaks the same signaling as CCS. And at the moment chargers getting NEVI funding need to have a CCS charger, so there will still be a bunch of chargers with CCS cables in the wild for a while.

I have a car with CCS. I've got no worries about chargers switching to NACS.
They’re not the only company in that space, just the flashiest. Their competitors are generally less insolvent but have worse UX. I wonder if Regus will put in a bid to buy WeWork out of bankruptcy?
To be actually honest, I am always jealous of you brits for having nice guys who try to improve public funded websites and utilities. many, if not wast majority, other govt. bodies related to this field should learn a thing or two from you.

anyway, good luck with your current project.

My first thought when reading the headline is that I'm ok paying for most personal things if I get to work remote as it means I'm more likely to work remote.

Obviously the company should be supplying laptop, monitors, etc, but unless I'm going through an egregious number of pens, paper, etc, I'm completely ok supplying it myself.
GDS gets lots of love here but if you actually try and use the pages for things like HMRC and Companies House you quickly find it's lipstick on a pig and some horrible mess of legacy systems underneath with lots of bugs.

For example, if I want to update company information, the wizard type thing for it rejects my auth. If I use it's password reset function, it successfully changes my password but then rejects my new auth. Instead I have to find a log-in page for an entirely unrelated action and then navigate from there to the page that will let me edit what I need.

I reported it and they just gave some flannel that it was a temporary fault but it still behaves like this years later. The system is crap and their response to bug reports is crap too.
The study does not prove causality: it is right in the title of the paper: Association Between Slow-Wave Sleep Loss and Incident Dementia.

Sorry for the rant: we should not share university press release articles, they are always clickbait. Just share the research directly.

An even quicker search yields a population of 100k (even by China's numbers) - when it was planned for 1M: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangbashi_District

I guess if you consider (optimistic) 10% occupancy rates a Boom Town, then - yeah - maybe there aren't any Ghost Towns in China.

Kangbashi cost $161B. Forest City cost $100B and it'll probably be a decade before they get the funding to finish it, and then probably a decade after that before it gets to 25% occupancy (optimistic).

Who knows how many other $20B+ investments will be sitting at <20% occupancy for decades - and at least the ones in China are unlikely to ever get higher than that (since population is rapidly declining).
I bet it felt good to feel superior to other’s who don’t see what you can :)

And if it felt good why other thoughts or lack of thought couldn’t make you happy?

And of course if you are happy why couldn’t you find a way to be happy all the time?

Makes sense?
Seems like I lost access to my old account, so had to create a new one.

I just bought this a couple of days ago. I went with the ryzen, OLED version and 32GB RAM. I ordered without an OS and run Ubuntu on it. The decision was between T14 , the carbon x1 and the framework.

My previous laptop was a x1 gen 3. The laptop hinge broke :/ I absolute love this machine.

Impressions so far:

* Ubuntu 23.04 and Gnome runs so good that we even setup a donation on behalf of our company to the Gnome foundation. Ubuntu 22 will keep locking up.

* Everything works - camera, video recording, qualcomm wifi, all function keys etc. Even fingerprint login works!

* Gnome tweak tool is your friend. Especially to adjust those font sizes. I switched to noto from the default ubuntu.

* Keyboard is great but x1 carbon is still the best :-)

* Maybe my eyesight is failing me but I find no great difference between the FHD of x1 carbon gen 3 and OLED with 3 times more resolution.

* Batter is like 5 hours of so when I am working full time. I suspect OLED has something to do with this low battery life.

* Love that the camera has a physical switch

Some other tips:

* When you order be sure to not order the computer vision camera. This doesn't work on linux and there is a post on LKML saying it won't work for the next 2 years atleast.

* I am based in berlin, so ordered from Germany. You can order the "Beleuchtete Tastatur, schwarz – Englisch (EU)" keyboard for the US keyboard. Only practical change is euro sign instead of dollar in number 4 key.

* In the penultimate order screen, lenovo will sneak in a support option. But there's actually a basic support option which will save you some money. I think only difference is you might have to mail in your laptop for fixes, not sure.

AMA.
I have the same problem but I've yet to find earplugs that I can wear every night. The only only ones I've been able to sleep with at all are silicone ones that mould to the shape of the ear. I can only sleep which makes things significantly more difficult but with some practice I can get the silicone ones flat and not feeling like there's pressure inside my ear which will stop me sleeping.

I don't travel without these now and they have been great, but after several successive nights of use I find my ear starts to get sore and sensitive to them.

The best thing, of course, is to live somewhere actually quiet. Most noise is from cars. But failing that I have to sleep with some white noise source like a fan.
That's really too kind to the snap designers.
“I’ll be there in 7 minutes” is my standard answer when I know it’s going to be more than 5, probably less than 10.
Show HN: Anchor – developer-friendly private CAs for internal TLS
Hi HN! I'm Ben, co-founder of Anchor (https://anchor.dev/). Anchor is a hosted service for ACME powered internal X.509 CAs. We recently launched our features & tooling for local development. The goal is to make it easy and toil-free to develop locally with HTTPS, and also provide dev/prod parity for TLS/HTTPS encryption.

You can add Anchor to your development workflow in minutes. Here's how:

- https://blog.anchor.dev/getting-started-with-anchor-for-loca...

- https://blog.anchor.dev/service-to-service-tls-in-developmen...

We started Anchor because private CAs were a constant source of frustration throughout our careers. Avoiding them makes it all the more painful when you're finally forced to use one. The release of ACME and Let's Encrypt was a big step forward in certificate provisioning, but the improvements have been almost entirely in the WebPKI and public CA space. Internal TLS is still as unpleasant & painful to use as it has been for the past 20 years. So we've built Anchor to be a developer-friendly way to setup internal TLS that fully leverages the benefits of ACME:

- no encryption experience or X.509 knowledge required

- automatically generated system and language packages to manage client trust stores

- ACME (RFC 8555) compliant API, broad language/tooling support for cert provisioning

- fully hosted, no services or infra requirements

- works the same in all deployment environments, including development

If you're interested in more specific details and strategy, our blog posts cover all this and more: https://blog.anchor.dev/

We are asking for feedback on our features for local development, and would like to hear your thoughts & questions. Many thanks!
Early MacBook Airs had spinning rust hard drives, FYI, similar to what were in iPods.

That still doesn't mean that Apple was trying to make the Air and couldn't because of the PowerPC. They could've easily made one with a low power G4.
ThinkPads are coasting off the reputation that was built up under IBM ownership. If you're not married to the trackpoint, then a Dell Latitude/Precision or HP EliteBook/ZBook is equally as good.

Lenovo went down the route of trying to chase the MacBook Pro crowd and ended up compromising on durability, repairability (soldered components) and keyboard quality (traditionally the USP of ThinkPads).
In the US, we’re talking about a quarter of users. That’s a lot of traffic to lose.

If they stop bundling Music, and possibly lower the cost of YT Premium, it might convert better.
Yeah I guess I'd phrase it as 3 kinds of "complexity"

Rust is complex because the compiler has many ways to say "No I won't compile that, it might be wrong".

C++ is complex because it requires the programmer to understand every feature used in the codebase. (e.g. Will the compiler warn me if I use inheritance and dynamic dispatch wrong? I'm not sure. I find code with inheritance hard to read.)

Go _code_ is complex because the language is too simple. (if err != nil is waterbed complexity)

For decades the UK was run by the sort of people who were totally A-OK with lots of stuff being ruled from Brussels, and who even wanted to accelerate that trend. Brexit took away the rule from Brussels and the constitutional crisis that saw 50+ MPs get kicked out of Parliament got rid of the most extreme elements of the Tory party at least, but neither suddenly replaced all the politicians and civil servants who never really wanted Brexit to happen and have no actual ideas for what to do with the new powers.

Getting rid of the stupid cookie banners may seem obvious, but there's a lot of obvious improvements that can be made like that. Sunak would rather host AI summits than actually make them, however.
Mmm. I think he was saying he thought WFH was a great idea and it turned out that it had negative repercussions he hadn't anticipated. No need to strawman him.

I happen to have experienced the exact same thing. Switched to 100% WFH during COVID and never came off it. I fortunately have a family, but the reality is that family requires a lot of chronological investment (homework, dinners, bonding, etc). Previously working in an office was able to fulfill my extra-familial social needs as a human, but without an office it's much harder to make that happen.

I am obviously very glad that I have a family (and was especially glad during COVID), but I do think that family + WFH leaves very little time for traditional social activities.
The view that I have formed is that we all have regrets. Anyone who claims they don’t is blinded by ego. That claim is only possible if every decision they made was the right one - at the time and with hindsight. Clearly, that is not possible.
Deplatforming has no relevance to privacy and data protection, regardless of your feelings on the issue.

Mozilla runs a content suggestion platform (Pocket), not just an agnostic software tool. It is sensible for them to have a stance on this particular issue.

It’s also not “against their ethos” just because you don’t agree with it.

They don't justify it explicitly, but they do talk about using the distilled model as an assistant for the original. With the encoder precisely the same for both you only need to additionally load the distilled decoder layers for a 2x speedup with the same accuracy as the original.
> what do people think of the "observability" space from here?

Splunk and other observability companies (Datadog has been hiring like crazy on the security side) have been pivoting into becoming a SIEM 2.0 for a couple years now.

Infra budgets now include Security spend, so an entire generation of Infra companies in segments such as Observability/Application Management (Datadog), Data Platform (Databricks, Snowflake), API Management (Imperva, Wallarm, Postman), and DevTooling (Hashicorp) have begun pivoting into the Security segment.

The same thing happened with networking in the 2010s.

It's a matter of definitions. Technically, reference counting is a form of garbage collection, and it is often discussed in the garbage collection literature.

Most commonly though, "garbage collection" refers to global schemes which apply by default to all memory (perhaps with rare exceptions such as pinning).

So, in typical usage, C++ smart pointers, being opt-in, are not considered garbage collection. Languages which do automatic reference counting globally, such as Python or Swift, are indeed considered garbage collection schemes.

> We need to do a better job as a society into shaming people for making terrible purchase decisions

? The only victim of a bad purchase decision is the purchaser? Shouldn't we be shaming those who steer people into terrible purchase decisions, or make terrible products in the first place?
I am far from my deathbed (as far as I can possibly know today). I am trying to build a philosophical bed for my life going forward.

It is hard and maybe pretentious to think I could know how to live today in order to satisfy my future self, but I think we can do very well if we tackle the subject head on. That means inviting both life and death to our lives.

I invite life by intending to be present. It is not just meditating (if you enjoy it go for it, but do so because you actually enjoy it, not to become a master meditator in the future, that might eventually come naturally). It is savoring the moment. Shutting off things that require my attention right then and there and just being with myself, not really wanting to be anywhere else.

I invite death by saying goodby to myself. By denying participating in the cult of nostalgia. That is not to say that I don't take pictures or I don't enjoy remembering good moments, but when I do so that is an act in itself, and not wanting to relive the moment. It is remembering the moment as an opportunity to both be grateful it happened and to also say goodbye to it.

Saying goodbye to myself is also acknowledging that I will be different in another moment, as I was different in the past. My past self made mistakes and also made great (I still feel a little envious as how much I could enjoy computer games when I was a teenager). This unloads a huge burden that is to require myself to be consistent throughout my entire life.

I change, I evolve. I die a lot, long before I die physically.

Doing so I think frees me to pursue what I think makes me feel good. In my case that is to write computer programs, compose poetry, play my guitar. Study philosophy (if you like it too, I would refer to concepts like the Nietzschean demon or epicurean static and dynamic pleasures, as well as Simone Weil's attention). I also love my friends and family. I believe we are better off relinquishing a little bit of individuality in lieu of being more involved in our community.

It is also nice to listen to our elders. They suffer from survivors bias the most and thus have a lot to teach us if we let them, and if we are able to abandon a little bit of the cult of the yound and new and perfect we are immersed in.

This is not just a comment for you, it is also for me. Using this opportunity to take a snapshot of myself thinking about life and death while also sharing it.

Edit: I would like to mention that this does not encompass every form of human existence. This would be insane, but I think I should say it. There is no peace of mind on an empty stomach or under the barrel of a gun. This comment does not try to encompass the extremes of human suffering. I can't say nothing about this other than that we as a society are failing to reduce human suffering. I think I would go to my deathbed regretting not being able to do more to make other humans suffer less.
Attenuating Innovation (AI)
If it was just about a simple count the host could just `wc -l access.log`. Clearly website hosts are not satisfied with that, and so they ignore DO_NOT_TRACK and disrespectfully try to circumvent privacy extensions.
That's an amazing cop out. Companies are run by people, people make the decisions, and ethics/morality can have an impact on the bottom line. Using "it's a company, ethics aren't real" is just an excuse people who make decisions use to act unethically.
I find YT is only useable via the following combination of extensions these days

- Pocket tube (how subscription management should have been)
- Sponsorblock (auto skip sponsors which are typically gambling or predatory games)

There’s an opportunity to make it even better than ICE. EV batteries should follow the “propane tank exchange” model: pull into a station, drop off dead batteries, pick up charged ones. Pay a nominal fee for battery inspections, recharging, etc.
I agree. Most people seem to be blissflly ignorant and live life without acknowledging the suffering around us. I wish I could do that but it's not possible for my brain.

I think this belief will stick with me for life and I don't see it changing but I'm open to it.

> a pretty basic requirement that you’ll want to see what people are interested in.

not really

it should be what you are competent and proficient at

people will come because they like what you do, not because you do the things they like (sounds like the same thing, but it isn't)

there are many proxies to know what they like if you want to plan what to publish and when and for how long, website visits are one of the less interesting.

a lot of websites such as this one get a lot of visits that drive no revenue at all.

OTOH there are websites who receive a small amount of visits, but make revenues based on the amount of people subscribing to the content (the textbook example is OF, people there can get from a handful of subscriber what others earn from hundreds of thousands of views on YT or the like)

so basically monitoring your revenues works better than constantly optimizing for views, in the latter case you are optimizing for the wrong thing

I know a lot of people who sell online that do not use analytics at all, except for coarse grained ones like number of subscriptions/number of items sold/how many email they receive about something they published or messages from social platforms etc.

that's been true in my experience through almost 30 years of interacting and helping publishing creative content online and offline (books, records, etc)
If you do it for yourself, that's great, but you should withhold the benefits of that from the company if they aren't going to reward you for being better.
great way to reduce weight!
In Tesla's case, it seems that repair costs and especially time to get parts are extreme for minor accidents from what I hear. Maybe it's not the case, but I think Tesla really need to fix this perception.

>> Take out server costs

Server costs were actually bulk of the costs, not engineers salaries.
The thing that's changed in recent years is who "owns" the practices. Traditionally they were owned by the senior GPs, they became partners (owners) in the practice they ran.

Now increasingly as older GPs who are partners in prentice's retire they sell their practice to privet equity backed groups. GPs don't want to buy into a practice anymore.

The result of this is significantly worse care and service as the PE backed groups try to extract profits from the system. It's an attractive deal for PE, guaranteed income based on patent list size, and an opportunity to cut costs to make a profit.
I hate dells. Not being able to open the screen that much was a major annoyance.

If you can, it's probably better to go spend time with them than trying to clone them using technology.

It was a guess, based on what so many editors in Hollywood use. The "behind the scenes" video confirms it though - yes, they were using DaVinci Resolve.

I hope Apple takes that as a shot across the bow -- they need to up their game with FCP and its ecosystem, if the contractor they hired to produce an Apple event shot on iPhone and edited on Mac doesn't even use FCP.
