I bought a usbc to barrel adapter. It has a extra cable for power if I want to charge too. Still annoyed they took it away. s5->s22 was my step.
People of a similar background tend to have similar thoughts. If you grew up white in America or black in Africa you will have at least a few experiences that most people of your background share. Expand the amount of people with diverse background and you will get a wider range of thoughts.
That website is a bit… unusual (read: puritan). It seems to be anti porn (in general) as well. From the “Christians and porn” part:

A 2016 Barna Study Found:
--Teens & young adults view “not recycling” as more immoral than viewing porn. ( survey responses: 88% Stealing; 56% Not recycling, 32% Viewing Porn.

(This doesn’t necessarily detract from the other things they have posted, but it provides a bit of context.)
No, I quickly moved to another team and watched my colleagues get fired or quit one by one as they couldn't keep the estimates done by someone else under pressure. It was a surreal experience.
That's under the assumption that nothing else will change. But it is not the case, the system would have to adapt. One possibility is that we wont use money anymore, and there are a lot of in betweens in the middle. But for sure what you cannot do is to stop the change that is coming.
True. Delivery drivers consistently deliver to my neighbor instead of myself. The last three digits of our addresses are 885 and 855, and they consistently confuse the two. They’re tired, overworked, underpaid, and I honestly don’t blame them. But I wouldn’t trust anyone in my garage/home when I’m not home. Not sure why these companies think that will actually work.

I really want the ability to easily create multiple persons/personalities like Netflix lets you do.

On Netflix I have a seperate "user" for asian movies so the main user is not flooded with recommendations for asian movies. Those 2 users have extremly different list of recommended movies.

When I watch a few "The girl is doing her homework" music movies on YouTube they quickly drown out everything else on the homepage. When I later watch a few "watch later" engineering movies, the music videos are drowned out and I then have difficulty finding more music videos. It's like starting over from scratch every time.
Yes, there is always a competition between workers and owners for money. However, The structure of US unions also change the incentives.
I think people who view entering into politics as just another job and only ever look at it from the lens of salary are never suited to be one in the first place. I can guarantee you they would never be able to become one even if they tried. The real hurdle is that elections are very taxing, and highly gated (if you are at all serious about winning). You almost always need to associate with a political party first, but then most political parties field candidates by seniority. No matter how much qualified you may well be, at the end it all boils down to how much you can convince people of your constituency, all of whom are irrational, and are looking out for their own personal gains rather than country's future as a whole. Majority is not interested in hearing your very technical argument on how you would solve their problems, and guess what majority is what you need to win the election.
People that used google and have some technical skill can still survive an OpenAI meltdown

What you see on mastodon.social is the result of Elon Musk buying Twitter. One and a half years ago it looked very different from the current mix of US politics and social issues, with more European-oriented, non-English content. As a European, it lost a lot of relevance to me, personally.

IIRC Spain's rent control is just 5 years, which means that building newly required density is delayed by 5 years at most.

It's a nice stabilizing mechanism because nobody wants to move every year just to get the best rent, but most people can handle a move every 5 years.
Best they can do is stop selling it. HomeKit is a local service, not cloud, so they'd have to specifically remove it by forcing an update. Given that when they started selling the Home Bridge the entire selling point was HomeKit, that seems like a great way to quickly lose a class action.

I ordered one of the ratgdo devices a couple weeks ago just in case. As long as HomeKit works I'm happy for the moment, but it's nice to have the backup option. I'm not too interested in replacing two perfectly functional garage door openers yet, or going with some tacked-on solution to determine if the door is up or down.

It'll definitely influence my decision, though, when it comes to replacing these openers in the future. I used to like Liftmaster.
Not OP, but there's so many general reasons someone buys this place:

- They didn't opt for the place, someone else in their family did

- This is where the jobs were

- What matters to them changed over time

- The place changed over time

- A lot of things matter to them, this is just one, and the place delivers on the others

- When they were looking for a place, this was what was available

- etc.

If you literally can’t find a space where your views are palatable, then it’s possible there’s something wrong with them.

And if what you’re seeking is the privilege to compel other people who take responsibility for setting up and administering such spaces to carry / broadcast your unmoderated views regardless of their own, what we’re talking about isn’t really any principled kind of liberty.
> the uncontroversial point that binary biological sex is an incomplete model of humanity as a whole.

Why does sex have to be a complete model of humanity? It's real and useful. For instance as a male I don't bother getting mamograms. Sex tells you more about predisposition of health conditions than any other factor apart from maybe age and weight. Let's not pretend it doesn't exist

I don't think that is remotely true. You're commenting on a discussion on Toyota launching a $10k pickup, and there is absolutely no suggestion this price is achieved by ignoring regulation.
> refactoring is something that comes with any new work. You don't have to justify it, but include it in your estimates.

Sometimes it's too much work to do ad hoc. Oftentimes people won't go out of their way to refactor. Having the fair discussion can make it real and important.

If the team can't talk about refactoring, it's an unhealthy team. Managers who want to act like maintenance of a project isn't something that should ever be their concern don't deserve a paycheck.

> But honestly, it is engineers job to find that hard to reach balance

This attitude is bullshit. It's everyone's job. High level balance is more of a concern for management. Low level balance is the more of a concern for engineers. High and low level balances can work for or against each other. Management that just pushes their responsibilities down the hierarchy aren't pulling their weight.
> I'd say if you spend millions to make a movie to be shown in the cinema you don't expect that by default 50% will walk out before the finale. But even more crucial: If that would happen, your ticket-sales would plummet week-by-week.

Maybe walking out in the middle of the movie is a bad analogy, but, it would certainly be applicable to the streaming world, where half your audience might watch Episode 1 of New Netflix series but stop watching well before Episode 10.
I suspect they didn't use || because it makes parsing easier, given jq's reliance on the pipe operator.

I had a Z-Wave garage door opener which was wired to my old garage door opener's button switch port. The old unit's logic board started having issues, so I went ahead and replaced it with a cheap Chamberlain. I got the most basic unit thinking the one-button opener would be a basic switch style like old, but alas it is still some kind of serial connection. The Z-Wave controller can't effectively signal to it, but since it has a basic tilt sensor it can at least open the door state.

I'm thinking I'll just get a cheap garage door opener remote, solder the trigger pin to the button on the remote, and tape that to the ceiling next to the z-wave controller. Janky, but at least I'll be able to get it functional again to send the command.
A bit ironic how the first example is of La Coruña and literally everyone from there absolutely hates the fact that the ugly brutalist Franco-era flats absolutely destroyed the vibe of the coastal cities in Galicia (e.g. Cayon, O Grove, Baiona, etc.).

That's what surprised me too. I think it might be because for every big, dense Dutch city there are n farmhouses in Friesland, Groningen, etc. Also I'm not sure whether they categorise semidetached houses as houses or flats, given how common they are in the Netherlands the 21% would be no surprise if they're considered houses.

Ask HN: FFmpeg thumbnailer front-end for X
HN Brain,

Does anyone know of a decent ffmpeg front-end for pulling thumbnails from a video, preferably something with a picker? I googled around and was ultimately unsuccessful.

I have previously used mpv's screenshot command (S) combined with seeking and per frame movements, but it does not correctly handle the video portrait orientation not to mention the interface itself is fairly clumsy.

Ideally I would want to see something that creates a strip a-la Pixel's photo frame extractor where one can select a section of the video and make it extract all the frame or every N'th frame from that section.

I could probably spend a weekend and hack some basic monstrosity in a from of a NodeJS wrapper but that would probably be me trying to invent the wheel, making it square in the process.
Learning point 9 early will save you a lot of pain.

I'd add this:
Care about your job, do your best, learn, grow. It'll serve your career and it'll serve your happiness/satisfaction.

HOWEVER, accept that things will go wrong/dumb decisions will be made, and it's not all up to you to fix. If other people make dumb moves, you don't have to die on the hill. Let others fail, it's good for them too. I promise you that nobody will actually care after it's over. It's not worth the mental agony.
I also observed this when using most cli tools… I think it’s a common problem for tools you have to reach for a couple times a month/quarter (versus programming language when you’re coding almost everyday)

My solution was literally to create Anki cards every time I discover a neat feature that I might not remember but it would be useful too. I just go through it once a day for 10 minutes (my anki cards) and it works like a charm. My memory for various cli tools has drastically improved. Rarely do I need to reach for Google, man docs or ChatGPT for most cli tools usages. I’d recommend spaces repition for cli tools

No idea how collective bargaining works in Sweden, im Germany so individual employers regularly enter into supplemental agreements with their respesctive employee councils. So I guess bothing prevents Tesla from doing the same with regards to their "better" conditions, employees and unions propably wont oppose that neither.

To pick one of the examples above, could the USPS legally help out the strike by selectively rejecting packages going to/from Tesla addresses? My guess would be it would need to be a bottom up organization breaking company rules, probably isolated to some regions. Then again unions and striking was illegal during robber baron times too, but not necessarily immoral.

So, I worked for intelligence agencies for much of my early career, and my wife still does, and I get the impression Hacker News fundamentally misunderstands their mission and the way they operate. This sort of effort involving wiretaps and backdoored encryption with state access to service providers is a law enforcement capability, not an intelligence agency capability. Intelligence agencies do not operate within the law and they largely don't care about things like CSAM or internal political dissent. That's the FBI and other part of DHS's concern. Intelligence agencies are at least somewhat constrained in what they do domestically by cleared legislative oversight committees, but internationally, they do whatever they want. They don't need warrants. They may often have, but certainly don't need, the cooperation of governments or law enforcement where they operate. Their tools aren't legal tools. They may use device-level compromise, remote sensing technologies the commercial community and general public doesn't know exists, human spies, and these can be used against foreign service providers or against specific high-value targets directly.

Whatever the law says law enforcement within your own country can or can't do has no bearing at all on what foreign intelligence agencies can do.

All of which is to say, if you're thinking of things like MK Ultra, nobody ever publicly argued we should give that kind of capability to the CIA and it was already illegal at the time they did it and they did it anyway. Trying to make telecom service providers legally obligated to provide an encryption workaround for law enforcement is a completely different thing.

Indeed, there is nuance between outright illegal and bending the rules or taking actions that are effectively a strike without outright striking. Determine the desired outcome, seek a legal opinion from counsel, and build your strategy backwards from that. Perhaps you don't strike, but slow down, call out, whatever. "Are we on strike or we just collectively having an off day?"

In this specific example, if people like Elon can break the law without repercussions, it seems disingenuous to fault workers attempting to do the same (depending on where the actions fall between bending and breaking any specific law) to protect their rights, compensation, and working arrangements considering they're where they actual value comes from. Tesla is afraid of the precedent of labor having a role in their management and operations decisions (because Elon demands operating from a position of power against all), but they are fighting a losing battle (Sean Fein and the UAW in the US [1], incredibly high support of unions in the under 30 cohort in the US [2] [3] [4], etc).

Same, but this is irrelevant to the point GP was making. Some minority of people do want Amazon Key (and similar services), and those people are now unable to claim their package wasn't delivered once they sign up for the service.
