If I'm not going to kick you out, you would get a say in dinner, the budget and so on. What alternative can you see? You're in the house. We live together. Best to get along.

Either the US goes genocidal and purge 3% of their population or they all get along. Getting along seems like the good option to me!
That's basically what would happen. So you would have any of the scenarios below

1. you pay higher because the info you provided them made them think that you are likely to be correlated with people that have genetic trait x which is linked to conditions w, y and z

2. you pay as normal, but when you want a payout because you suddenly have a condition for which you are genetically predisposed, you don't receive anything or receive a really small amount of money (small enough that they will make enough profit from you, but just enough that you won't sue immediately)
Why sacrifice privacy?

I have exactly zero popups / cookie banners, and I'm in France and a French citizen (and a GPDR supported). My browser and extensions rejects all requests for consent to be tracked automatically.

We can easily get Web browsers to do that for everyone (it takes about one minute to set up manually) so that everyone could have privacy while having a seamless browsing experience. This is easily doable with the current GDPR.

Now, why would you or anyone prefer to consent to tracking instead?

Even better, use the excellent Cloudflare Tunnel product to completely shield your origin:

https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/

I haven’t had a port open to the Internet in well over a year. It’s fast, easy, and even easily supports things like failover (just launch the daemon on multiple machines on the network). Bonus points - setup Zero Trust with their Warp client and get direct access to Cloudflare Tunnel networks and hosts without having to expose them.

Integrates perfectly and smoothly with all of their other products, of course. Going from register/transfer a domain name to full blown CF tunnel, CDN, DDoS, etc comes down to a few minutes of total configuration once you get the hang of it. After that exposing a new service to the internet via Cloudflare tunnel takes 10 seconds - the Zero Trust dashboard takes care of everything, including creating the domain DNS record for the tunnel endpoint.

Free for up to fifty users and what I’ve described here is only scratching the surface.

Cloudflare is really crushing it these days and they’re moving in on everything from AWS to Tailscale. The scale, scope, and tight integration of their products is nearly unmatched. Bonus points for being the cheapest and most performant platform from object storage to functions (Workers). And of course no bandwidth charges on any of this, which can save a tremendous amount of money.
That's true, however I realized I personally don't actually need > 6hr battery life in a laptop, like, ever. There is always an outlet near me, and the charger & cable are small enough to easily carry around. If I am on a trip, well the same charger can be used to charge my phone and other devices, so I am not packing more than I would have otherwise. Why do I need to worry about battery life?

P.S. both you and I know that the 20 hour number is not real.
Germany is not a common law country and neither are any other EU countries. Higher court decisions (which I don’t think is the case here) can set jurisprudence but it’s not the same thing as in a common law system.

Also national court decisions do not apply to other member states.
A few months ago I was working on migrating cloud build for a personal project and hit a documentation error. Submitted a correction via the feedback button and it got fixed few days later. To be honest I was a little surprised by how fast it got fixed.
Thing is I use integrated keyboard/trackpad maybe a few times a week in conference rooms, same for battery - 5 hours is plenty for presentations and meetings.

I want a portable workstation that I can occasionally use as a laptop, so build quality and laptop stuff isn't that big of a deal to me. I'm always using a screen via USBC + dedicated keyboard and mouse. Performance and noise are a factor - I'm hoping that AMD versions deliver on that.

I'm leaning towards framework because if my current MBP dies I can't do anything about it since it's been out of warenty for years. And upgrading it eventually with next gen CPU without having to change storage/RAM, etc. sounds nice.

Meta Thinks Your Privacy Is for Sale. Would You Pay 120 Euros a Year
Very short version:
Deceased CS pioneer gets linked to Epstein rape island. Stallman correctly points out that the deceased is unable to defend himself and makes a nuanced argument about the details of the case and the lack of evidence that the deceased had sex with anyone on the island.

Stallman then gets obliterated by a public incensed about the Epstein case. A public that is unwilling to discuss the fine nuances between pedophilia and hebephilia and sees such takes as nothing more than bunny ears lawyering. To add on, several women report Stallman being somewhat creepy towards them. It's an absolute PR disaster.

Nothing that Stallman said about Minsky was incorrect. Stallman was 100% in the right. He was misunderstood. But, in my opinion, that was entirely on him. Where and how he said what he said was almost impossible to not be misunderstood.
Yeah my piano doesn't work with macOS Ventura suddenly. Audio dies after 2 minutes. I'm only using it for monitoring so I just plug bloody headphones in it and be done with the computer.
This is wildly disingenuous. I don't even know where to begin.

Services are advertised as private. So why wouldn't people be acting like they are private. Oh, you're not tech literate and so don't know something "obvious?" Guess it's your fault for listening to your financial advisor and losing all your money too. We live in a specialized world. You don't want to go down this route and it is unreasonable because we can't have infinite knowledge and infinite time to gain that. There's absolutely no way you know in high detail: tech, medicine, economics, law, science, politics, or any other expertise. You don't even know one of these, but rather a small section of one.

Yes, they may be "public" but you can have an expectation of privacy in public. Also your lack of expectation in public is not infinite. The lack of privacy in public is an astonishingly new phenomena. Realistically in the last 10-15 years as we've seen cellphones become prolific. Things were way different just in the early 2000s, where there weren't nearly as many cameras either by CCT or just in peoples' pockets. Let alone microphones or high resolution images.

Most importantly, the environment has changed on the internet too. 10 years ago the only people scraping up the entire internet was big tech and govs. Now it's every startup and group of people that can. These are very different situations. 2015 image generation was still a joke. Goodfellow's GAN paper was posted in late 2014. That's not even 10 years ago that we're struggling to generate black and white faces at 32x32 pixels.

Things are VERY different and if you think you could have predicted this I'm going to call bullshit. Only Captain Hindsight could do that. This kind of thinking is simply just victim blaming and lording your particular expertise over others while ignoring your own ignorance because you let post hoc thinking rewrite your past.
I think monasticism needs to make a come-back.
In my experience over-engineering also often doesn't have the result of locking in devs, although their billable hours may increase in the short term.
My biggest pet peeve: Apple has decided to convey low/high temperatures different than standard. Every major weather agency and app advertises the daily low as the low temperature during the night following the advertised high. Apple, on the other hand, advertises the lowest temperature during that calendar day.

This is a small but crucial difference. If I want to know the coldest temperature it will reach tonight, I need to look at the hourly forecast, because it's quite possibly that the low for today will be for 1am this morning (the past) whilst the low for tomorrow will be 11pm tomorrow, without an advertised daily low for tonight.

> seized the opportunity to sneer at working-class people as bigoted, stupid and reactionary

This is incredibly ignorant view which does not understand the trauma someone can endure when not being allowed or experience not only discrimination, but physical abuse and threats for being who he or she feels is.
I wonder if people said the same thing when screaming for equal rights or other things related to racism and homophobia. That it is only opportunity to sneer at working-class people as bigoted, stupid and reactionary.

The approach might not always be the best, but at the end people want others to be what they really are, no one is screaming to shot or lynch anyone.
On what planet is that sensible?
No, I stand by what I said and it isn't racist. Though I can see why you think it is. I don't have a problem with black people in tech. But trying to paint a false image to make something seem different to reality? Yeah, that's fucked up. If we based our idea of the world on corporate branding and libtard double-speak it often shoots us in the foot. For example, these images suggest a perfect harmony of black and white representation in tech. Given that this is the case: why do we need to focus on hiring more under-represented minorities? If the world is already perfect (and yeah - tech people love this) why do anything? It feels just as good to say it is and do nothing.
Cool. Now, look at the "rust code" when you're tasked with changing mean to median... in the average non-programming specialist shop, where what you have access to is the production server. Which may or may not be the dev server, or a laptop.

No they're not complying to your CI/CD best standards - tell me with a straight face they're learnable in less than a month with a budget of $0 above your existing capital. Yes they're adding real value to the economy. That's "computing for everyone", and one of those tools works for that scenario.

> There is no expectation of privacy in public

This is claimed a lot but absolutely not true. Stop repeating this very obviously false statement.
The SKUs are becoming more complex because they are probably learning why Intel/AMD have so many SKUs. Making complex chips at scale results in a range of less-than-ideal chips. This drives a the need to segment and bin chips into different SKUs to reduce losses, rather than trying to sell one SKU and throw awaying the anomalies.
Just a warning I am a beginner on scheduling. Just reading about events in this paper, I assume that's IO events?

I have a multithreaded ringbuffer and I've been trying to work out how to reduce latency with Linux scheduling and thread core affinity. It doesn't seem to improve latency

I installed Ubuntu's realtime kernel and played around with SCHED_DEADLINE but I don't think real time kernel is what's needed to schedule long running threads continuously ?

What I want is the latency between scheduling of two given threads to be as close together as possible. Is this possible ? For reference LMAX Disruptor in Java can send a message between thread with average latency of 52 nanoseconds.

My naive toy C implementation is 80-130 nanoseconds from glances.

> Can you name shortcuts that are more convenient on Windows than on Mac?

That wasn't my argument

> They seem to be just as inconvenient and requiring a rebind on both systems

But they exist: Screenshot with PrtScn (or even Windows key + Shift + S) is better than the 3/4 Mac ones

> F2 is vastly inferior to pressing the enter key to renaming a file.

It's actually close to objectively better (though not a good one):

- Enter is a side-ways-stretch pinky key, so one of the worst keys out there (Backspace is worse since it's diagonal stretch)

- F2 is a middle-finger vertical key, so more convenient

Besides, this blocks opening files with Enter in the dumb Mac file manager, so add that to the downsides of superior Mac shortcuts
> He is, by some measures, the most famous artist in the world, with many millions of social media followers.

"Some measures" being a key phrase here. As is always the case with counts of followers, subscribers, watchers, likers, commenters, views, etc. there's rarely if ever any mention of the relative value of a single unit of the above, and perhaps more importantly the cost of any single follow, subscription, watch, like, comment or view and its relative value.

The social media platforms where these things are posted are practically cost-free for a viewer, save for perhaps paying for a subscription to replace advertising, but without any real cost to view or follow it's impossible to determine the value that a viewer places in the thing-to-be-viewed.

I wonder what percentage of the millions of followers would pay $1 a month for ongoing access to view Rodriguez' work, and of those how many would keep that payment going.

This is nothing to say about the actual quality of Rodriguez' art of course, just musings on the value placed in things that are practically costless to a viewer.
Quite a lot. A laptop screen + external monitor is an awkward solution. Display size and pixel density issues make it annoying to navigate the combined desktop environment. I have very little interest in doing so, personally -- if I'm using an external monitor, I'm generally never using my laptop screen.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to be slowing down our rate of CO2 emissions and it seems incredibly unlikely that we'll reach net zero by 2035 (for a 90% chance of keeping below 2C).
I think that would go against the GDPR.
I am sure if look closely at Windows laptops you can find plenty of competition. Of course the screen and the speakers are not as good and battery life is shorter, but if you can look over that (and I find most people outside HN don't really care) you can go pretty far with a premium Windows laptop (XPS/ThinkPad/HP EliteBook).
There is a form and people you can talk to if the form doesn't work.

Acknowledging that “we’re all different” is perhaps another way of saying “we all think and behave slightly differently”. Understanding this could make a big difference in how teams manage tasks, stories, sprints, projects and each other.

The CEO is a supply chain guy. They've been optimizing their profit margins ruthlessly since he took the helm. I don't think any savings are too small, particularly if comparatively few users are affected and it motivates upselling.

I think it's weird though how far people go to defend Apple. It's objectively making (some) users worse off. Apple clearly doesn't care and the people defending them also clearly don't. But the affected users do care and "but money" isn't really a good excuse for them. It also doesn't solve their problem of not being able to use two external monitors anymore without spending significantly more money.
in the hundreds of hours I've played of multiplayer console FPSs, which are what these controllers are marketed towards[1], I think I saw a player with a modded controller once. yes they got an advantage from it, but FPSs are mostly about how fast you can aim not how fast you can shoot, so it wasn't exactly game-breaking

also in Call of Duty at least, often semi-auto fire rates are capped at a human level anyway

even further, as far as I can see, you can't buy one of these controllers cheaply direct from china as you might expect to. from searching aliexpress and temu, I can only see a chipset for sale. it looks like your only option is to build one yourself or buy one custom built from a specialist site, but neither option is cheap and easy

IANAL so I could be wrong about this, but I'm reasonably sure third party controller vendors operate in a somewhat legally grey area and could be exposing themselves to a nasty lawsuit if Microsoft or Sony took exception to them, which mitigates the problem

basically it's barely a problem and this kind of action from microsoft is classic "product in decline" behaviour

> Using someone's information for a purpose they didn't intend is wrong? What? This just seems obviously mistaken.

How? It seems obviously correct. Suppose we trade nudes. You now sell my nudes online without my consent. You bet I have the right to sue you.
I think it is true. If something could predict all your actions with 100% certainty then you have no free will - you have no ability to decide for a different outcome than the one that is predetermined.

Although if it wasn't like that and you could do truly random decisions, I'm not sure what that says about your free will either.

If I had to guess, I don't think I have a free will. In my opinion my actions are a deterministic function of the state of my mind (including memory, personality) + input. I have no choice in the matter, only an illusion of one.

You only need to bump the RAM to 16 GB to get a nice, quiet, efficient dev machine, similar to an Air, but with the significantly better screen, speakers and longer battery life.
This sounds like the Steve Wozniak story from his college and early Apple days. He was apparently an inveterate prankster, especially phone related.
After starting Apple and gaining some influence in the tech world, he managed to secure a mobile phone with the number (888)888-8888 - something he'd desired for years but could only realise once the 888 area (mobile) code came into use.
Well his life became a living hell - he'd receive calls at all hours, usually with only rustling or scraping sounds, sometimes breathing and the occasional gurgle. The penny finally dropped when he heard a stern motherly voice in the background of one of these calls shouting: "Put down that phone, Jimmy!"
He realised that babies all over America were picking up push button telephones and hammering the most obvious button - the one right in the middle of the bottom row...
He had to change his number because there was no way around this DDOS prank by The Universe.
Actually, you are wrong. Microservices are surely not about defaulting to new microservices, but to capture a specific context into one service. There is no rule about how big a context is. A context can contain other context's. There can be technical reasons to split deployments into different microservices, but that's not the norm.
What you describe is what happens, when people get microservices wrong.

In the end, i like the viewpoint that microservices are a deployment pattern, not so much an architecture pattern. Usually, you can draw a component diagram (containing an OrderService and a DeliveryService, etc.) and without technical details (execution environment, protocols), you couldn't tell if it's describing multiple microservices or multiple components in one service.
