We have the same thing in the US for mortgages, called the adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). It got a very bad rep after the 2008 housing meltdown so it’s generally seen as a bad tool for consumers these days. Hence the current predicament - many American homeowners refuse to move because it means giving up a sub-4% loan. Which is essentially free money because of the current inflation rate.

Interesting how similar the reaction is to an equivalent gas dynamics problem.
Yes, sorry i wasn't clear, but consumer protection laws spawns across all EU (i think it's more than that, even Switzerland is in that agreement), so if Tesla do not respect Swedish warranties, Tesla would be at risk in the whole EU.

And Eu is not the US. Some young people might like and follow Musk and his venture a lot, but most people just do not care about him, and when it comes to consumer laws, EU do not joke around. If you have to trust EU to agree on one thing, it's consumer protection. More than market integrity, for sure (hence what is allowed to happen in Ireland: if you do not import consumer grade product or food, the irish sea border basically isn't enforced). So unless Tesla is far more popular accross EU than the Uk, Tesla will have to bend.

The comment you're replying to was a reply about weather requiring you to drive not bad weather resulting in drunk-like driving. You're making an unrelated argument.

Also it's perfectly possible to drive safely in severe weather. You shouldn't be swerving or driving erratically in bad weather either. If sight is limited, you're supposed to use hazard lights or (if it's due to severe fog) fog lights to alert other traffic to your presence and drive very carefully and slowly. If the road is extremely slippery you should use season-appropriate tires or snow chains if appropriate and otherwise drive carefully and slowly.

Those are very different patterns of behavior from the dangerous and reckless driving the law is clearly concerning. The pot head carefully going 20 because it feels like going 60 is clearly not the target for this. The drunk swerving into oncoming traffic because the alcohol is elevating their confidence while tanking their reaction time and fine motor skills very much is.

indeed there's a notion of quality in innovation and development, and also market rhythm fit..

as a kid, waiting 3-5 years to see the next version of photoshop or office was long but good, when the web came, you could get a near direct line with the devs.. instant download, constant updates.. and it quickly felt like a disease, this growth is just instability under disguise
Yes -- I've encountered this problem trying to back up Google Drive using multiple clients.

Sometimes a file download takes longer than 30s to start, either because it's converting, but also virus checks on large files. (For me it was always virus checks on PDF's over ~30MB).

You may need to change a timeout setting, so that your client will wait up to e.g. 5 min for a download to start its first byte.
Roughly the same average as Fortune 500 CEOs.
Couldn't agree more, though when I see this brought up, I've always seen "people who seem to know more than me" saying that it just leads to other problems, and they kind of hand-wave it away... but I still think there should be some more serious exploration of this. How could "real" numbers _truly_ exist, any more than "imaginary" ones?

Growth doesn't cap out, but it becomes only a slight upward. I'm a C++ programmer I can become better by using C++23, or I can learn rust. Both would be paths to growth, but since I'm already good at programming the difference will be minimal. Both would be worth doing, but the difference would not be very significant.
Winning a gold medal here will really be a leap forward for AI creativity and deep insight into problem solving.

AI already is already contributing in substantial ways to research.

What’s tantalizing here is this next level would take a huge step toward accelerating the pace of advancements in many fields.

It will be a milestone in moving past AI being a mere tool in scientific progress to something much greater.
We had lpar, vaults, zones, jails, but it was docker that won the mindshare, to the point many think it was the first.
Pretty high chance their files are all encrypted, and backup files are probably encrypted too if it’s taken this long. Either that or their backup recovery process was never properly tested and has failed catastrophically. My money is on their backups also being encrypted and perhaps having to take extreme measures to recover, if possible.

A control socket for a local daemon should only be accessible by authorised users or root. TCP sockets don’t help you with that, but Unix domain sockets are subject to regular file system access control.

On a multi-user machine, as a regular user, serving over TCP immediately allows any other logged-on users to access it, which can be unacceptable in some circumstances.
Oddly, their offer is ridiculously small outside of the US. There are good games, but for example, every single one featured in Arcade's launch trailer is unavailable in Canada.

I'd have expected that with their experience (Music, TV, App Store), they would have done better there.

My Indian Engineering college had no course on ethics and nor were ethics mentioned even once. While Ethics was a mandatory course in my Masters abroad.

Indian engineering colleges really need to start cleaning up the detritus, it is time to provide healthy base for the young ones. Once a culture builds up, the managers at consultancy will feel ashamed to cut loose on ethics even under pressure. Or not, but a start has to be made in this aspect.
These are ads, many platforms forbid comments on ads. The typical off-topic comments we get on the monthly who's hiring post is probably what they are trying to avoid.
The quality of comments isn't high enough. You can see it in the monthly who-is-hiring thread when you paginate to the last page. It's a mix of people asking about the job (one can contact the company directly), asking about previous encounters ("I sent you my CV two months ago!") or complaining ("why is this on HN at all?").

The real reason might be that Hackernews is a YCombinator project, all job ads on the frontpage are reserved for YCombinator startups, and they don't want to attract negative comments. I don't know, I don't want to speculate too much.
I yearn for an app permission of the form "can never access the network, period", and I don't just mean that it can't initiate or receive network requests, but also that it can't receive updates. In other words, once you install it, both you and (more importantly) the developer understand that the game is done. It's apparently unimaginable to people today, but this is how games worked for decades (and yes, every game that was worth its salt Just Worked, without major bugs).
ServiceWorkers are subject to the same delay issues. In fact the ServiceWorker requirement is the whole reason for the issue in the first place: receiving a Web Push notification requires running a ServiceWorker and Android won't let it run in the background except at certain times. IMO the fix is to change the Web Push API so that you can send (or schedule ahead of time) notifications that can be displayed without activating the ServiceWorker. Alternative solutions would be for Android to relax the restrictions that prevent ServiceWorkers from running, or for Chrome to try to fit ServiceWorkers into the existing restrictions somehow. But for some reason Google refuses to try any of these, and so Web Push rots.
You can distinguish a trackpad from a mouse, in that stuff like "multi-finger gestures" or "pinch in/out" makes sense on a trackpad but not a mouse.

Whereas, a trackball is roughly the same as a mouse. (Albeit, much more comfortable to use, IMO).
You put the analogy there, then broke it down - which should answer your own question. They are not the same, it's not like saying that at all. Once again HN misses the point on the quest for the perfect comparison.

To make it display at the top of the buffer window you'd need to repurpose a header line with some custom config. There might be a package for it. Do you have a screenshot of how you'd like it to look like?

> stop demanding ... and instead demand ...

As if large corporations base their business strategy on ethically/environmentally-minded consumer demands. At most they will propagandize or triangulate their engineering approach slightly - just enough for the media cycle to turn to some other issue. Gotta make those quarterly profits stand out!

Also - if you haven't changed a printer cartridge in 12 years than you are printing very little (which is fine, but it's not a typical use-case by which to evaluate longevity).

Other than that, definitely agree :-)

why do i have to be exposed to these people who don't have the slightest clue about how the computer works? i want out. i don't want to use an ecosystem that includes these people to be part of what runs on my computer. why would i want arbitrary web pages to be able to connect to all my daemons that expected that outsiders can't connect to them including stuff like X and god knows what else. it's bad enough that browsers can already connect to localhost which has already single handedly enabled hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities in the form of "attacker's page (even with js disabled) accesses your local daemon from some 10th level nested iframe ad crap"

i want out of this community. all these little people who have zero contextual understanding always requesting and implementing these features at all costs as long as the idea exists. this is a un*x problem at the core: if a feature conceptually exists, we must implement it at all costs. and another un*x problem here is having a global namespace (tcp port numbers) that things are just exposed to everything (either localhost or the network) by default when they could have easily just used an opaqaue handle that the machine operator can copy and paste into whatever application he wants to use it (no some openauth type shit that failed to be secure for 15 years is not what i have in mind)
To answer your questions:

- Yes, you can absolutely make a living from it. Salaries do vary greatly, though, across location and industry. I've more than doubled my own salary in 5 years moving between roles. API tech writing or developer docs is one specific area where you can make a pretty high salary. Your previous experience could certainly help you here.

- I have always worked in permanent roles, but there are a lot of consulting opportunities out there if that's your preference.

- I have been working from home since 2020. I enjoy it because I need the focus and quiet time to complete projects.

- Yes, for my last job search, most companies wanted a portfolio. Open source is a great way to start. You could also check out the Google Season of Docs program. Do you have any written documentation from your previous roles, such as process docs, etc.?

This is my second career, and I truly love the solid mix of technical, helping other users, and working with language. Best of luck!
I'm surprised the US Supreme Court is hearing cases filed against or by TCS.
This is not correct. Binding a socket to localhost (UDP, or TCP listener, or SCTP listener, ...) will prevent traffic from other network interfaces using it, even on the same machine.

virtus ~ # nft list ruleset
virtus ~ # nc -vvv -l -s 127.0.0.1 -p 1234
Listening on localhost 1234

virtus ~ # ip -4 addr show scope global dev enp3s0
2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
inet 10.20.1.75/24 brd 10.20.1.255 scope global enp3s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

virtus ~ # nc -vvv 10.20.1.75 1234
nc: connect to 10.20.1.75 port 1234 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

The security consideration with binding to localhost is that every process in the same network namespace can connect to that socket, regardless of what user the process is running as, unless you use netfilter to isolate what users can connect to where. Even then any process running as the given user will be permitted. A UNIX domain socket bound to a filesystem path can be constrained by filesystem ACLs and chroots, without having to touch netfilter at all.

>There isn’t a rule of economics that says better technology makes more, better jobs for horses. It sounds shockingly dumb to even say that out loud, but swap horses for humans and suddenly people think it sounds about right.
Soldiers in war are rather different than genocide. The Geneva Convention makes this quite clear.

The problem with following a code of ethics rather than simply acting on hedonistic or sadistic impulse is that you can pick a code of ethics that lets you act on those impulses - even encourages or demands that you act on them. Worse, those who most want to be hedonistic or sadistic are most drawn to those kinds of codes of ethics.

I assert that if a code of ethics calls for you to commit genocide, that code of ethics is itself evil.
> That arrow functions handle the "this" binding specially

It’s more the opposite, arrow functions treat `this` as a regular lexical variable, it’s normal functions which special-case `this`.
> I've never had a problem with sound clarity at loud concerts with ordinary foam plugs. I wouldn't use anything else when cranking an amp.

Regardless of "flat response" talk, I have been very happy using the same pair of $30 Dubs ear plugs for almost 15 years. I have foam earplugs for when I need things to be as quiet as possible but I hate them so much for a few reasons:

1. With extended use, for whatever reason, cause my ear canals to feel raw and itchy.

2. They are a PITA to get in and have them stay in and sometimes to get them out

3. They are disposable which is a waste

Coincidentally, I literally just bought a pair of Loops ear plugs today as my Dubs are finally falling apart. I liked my Dubs for multiple reasons:

1. They are super comfortable - I forget I have them in

2. They are reusable

3. They look interesting in the ear which is a great conversation starter at concerts/clubs/festivals - "are you wearing earbuds?" "No they are musicians earplugs. They basically just lower the volume while preserving the sound" "Oh cool!" "Yea if you like music, don't forget to protect your ears!"
Does anyone know of a site like this for all apps?

Being someone who was both conventionally unattractive and conventionally attractive (I had a digestive disorder for years that made me terrifyingly skinny and sickly looking), I can say that the difference is astronomical.

Once I figured out what was wrong with me, fixed my diet and got in shape, the way people treated me in general shifted dramatically towards positive. Rather than starting from a unreceptive low with everyone new, I started with a positive welcoming reception. People would just defacto trust me and assign me positive traits just for being good looking.

It's mind blowing to me how there is so much focus on whatever -ism, but no one talks about "looksism". Regardless of your gender or race, if you look good, people will default treat you well. If you look bad, every encounter is an uphill battle.
In practice I've found this strategy to be pretty frustrating as a player. If treasure is going to be part of the campaign, give me something to spend it on. If it isn't, don't bother -- but in a system like D&D, you need to then provide an alternate method for obtaining equipment and upgrades.

You might have luck filing a complaint about Google with the CFPB: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

I had a weird experience with a bank where they seemed to re-open my account after it was closed. I got a letter (as requested) within the 15 day window stating the account was closed and I wouldn't be responsible for any fees on the account in the event it opened again.

They spent most of the 15 days bombarding me with calls and emails trying to resolve it outside the CFPB, but I wanted it on record. That letter is now a PDF attached to the complaint with a complaint ID in case I have problems.
However, they can come far by not blaming the other sex for their own self-deprecation, self-pity and insecurities.
There's a saying (which could be specific to my country) about men approaching women. If you're handsome it's called flirting, if you're ugly it's sexual harassment.

Joking aside, I do notice that successful men (again, maybe specific to my country) tend to be attractive and they usually have an attractive and smart partner. Successful but not attractive men can still have either attractive or smart partner (or both, but different persons, and the former is a trophy—and the latter doesn't know about the former).

The grass is always greener. Working on low level things has lots of drawbacks and it's not uncommon to wish for better tools, documentation, libraries, etc like you get in higher level programming. It takes a lot of work to accomplish what externally seems like trivial results.
API Usage yes as it requires a token, but git clone requires no auth and still seems to work behind datacenter IPs (e.g. mullvad) meaning that there is little stopping someone from mass cloning.

It's a perverse reality but it seems that in order to keep some ecosystems open one has to take actions which are resource-wasteful (though I would argue in the larger picture it will save resources)
> Brother is what it is, not because of lack of innovation, but because of deliberate evasion of short-sighted greed.

Exactly. We have two new Brother multifunction printers at work and they're pretty great. They're exactly like printers, you tell your computer to print a document, that's where it comes out. No hassle.

All this other BS that HP, Epson etc. are pulling isn't innovation, it's extortion. "Just be a printer that isn't shit" is innovation in this environment.
One of the first open source developers I recall seeing raising funds so he could go work on something full time for a year was Paul-Henning Kamp (PHK from FreeBSD). He got the money, but also an insane amount of bullshit complaints from people not wanting to donate because: He pays ~40% in tax, it would be cheaper to pay someone in <insert country>, what if he doesn't deliver, why not someone else, why FreeBSD. I can understand a developer just giving up and not even trying just to avoid the negativity and complaining.
> Before compilers, people wrote machine code by hand. It would have been reasonable to think that compilers would reduce the demand for programmers, but the opposite happened.

That analogy occurred to me too. But I'm not sure what the corresponding higher-level domain is that mathematicians might have to migrate to - in the way that assembly programmers started using high level languages. Writing prompts for maths LLMs, or wrangling teams of them, is hardly going to be well paid enough to facilitate a decent life in this era of late capitalism, or even pay uni fees.

And even if there are such higher-level domains, its not certain that they are compatable with available human cognitive ability or limits.

Lots of maths grads currently go into tech/finance/lifescience/whatever. I'm a dev and I can see those fields being eaten alive by this stuff. I don't want my kid to end up as a 2030-equivalent of a fully qualified assembly language programmer.
Guess at root cause:

Some replication process at Google had fallen behind by 6 months (and presumably didn't have monitoring/alerting), and someone noticed and in trying to fix it they forced that replica to take mastership (meaning the users now see the 6 month old data).

Since the replicas presumably now have conflicting changes, re-merging the two is going to require a lot of code be written to smartly merge the data, and some users are going to permanently lose data (where they edited an old version of a document for example, and those edits cannot be automatically rebased onto the new version)
