I've never worked a service job in my life but I know several people who have - including my own children. OMFG!!! It's inhumane how these people are treated. I've seen office equipment treated better than these flesh-and-blood human beings. The only good thing is it gave my kids a good swift kick in the rear end to go to college, not screw around, and get serious with what they were doing. Despite that upside, I wouldn't wish that on anybody!
Platforms where pointers are bigger than the bus width/register size would presumably have tearing in pointer stores... I imagine a JVM implementation for a 16-bit system would want to use 32-bit "far pointers" if the platform supports that.
Termux?
Having “spent some time in the job market lately”, the salaries seem astronomical if you’re C++ and fintech/HFT. I think some funny business is going on with those listings though…

Kinda average in game development and sadly pretty low in embedded systems.

All way less common than your average Python position, but probably way more interesting.
I don't think you understand what "air-gapped" actually means
> Can it be exercised for other postal customers for other purposes than their workers striking, e.g. for support of certain political beliefs?

No - this is limited to labour market conflicts. The Swedish state (courts included) tries not to get involved in such conflicts. Both because of history (there were some unfortunate situations early last century) and because most voters are quite happy with how things work out.
Sounds, rather, like it was doing the right thing in that case but for the wrong reasons!
It's been a while since I built mine, but I'm pretty sure it supports 4 serial interfaces. At any rate, Oscar had a VT220 hooked up to a PiDP-11 at VCF ZH 2019.

Indeed. I don't really care what GPU I use.

I do care that Geforce experience works flawlessly. I mean, it doesn't, and my grandkids will probably still use DDU, but when shadowplay works it's indispensable as a gamer (or even for recording video calls.) I'm sure AMD has an alternative or I could use OBS, but I'd rather just pay a premium and rarely have to think about it. And also CUDA.
Vote for Firefox to proper support profile switcher (like Chrome)
Chrome will drop full support for ad-blockers, the only big missing feature is a proper support for easy profile switching.
It's a reference to the Department of Energy "Q" clearance, which, to people who don't understand anything, is an "Above Top Secret" clearance for super-duper secret deep-state nefarious activities.

Obviously it is not that, it permits one to access all classes of SNM and Restricted Data covered by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.
My lights are all set to turn on after a power cut. That way if Home Assistant dies, I can flip any light switch off, then on, and it will work normally. My area doesn’t have any actual power cuts though.
Several of my friends are onlyfans models/photographers and their morals are not only intact, but stronger and more thought out than most peoples... especially those who want to talk down to them about their morale failings.
IDK about "tomorrow" but I think they mean something on the spectrum of non-emissions-reductions geoengineering interventions that ranges from seawater-pumping to create clouds for albedo increases to stratospheric sulfur to intentional algal blooms for carbon capture, etc. I don't think they're achievable _immediately_, but I think there are reasons to believe that we could make rapid progress there (in _addition_ to emission reductions) if we could agree on how to do it without just wrecking the planet in a new and creative way.
AMD is kind of ironically hamstring by x86. They make a lot more profit off their CPUs than they do their GPUs and they only have so many TSMC wafers for both products. If they try to buy their way into more GPU market share they're losing margin on the GPUs they do sell and denying themselves more profitable CPU sales. And Nvidia has historically been pretty good about aggressively back filling any holes in their product stack AMD figures out how to exploit with a late product introduction. AMD seems like they've mostly given up on gaining in the discrete market.

Intel is making some better moves lately but the impression I get is they're losing money on every sale and need to buy their wafers from TSMC like AMD. I'm not sure how long they'll stomach that situation or if they'll eventually get their GPUs onto their own process.
Imagine there was a hobby that was as marginal to ham radio operators as ham radio is to the rest of the population. That is about how relevant user stylesheets are.
Show HN: Ob1: Generative Back Ends
Really excited to share this, with new features like v0, tldraw, magicpatterns, and other AI tools for UI generation, we figured why not do the same for APIs and backends?

Once you provide a prompt, image, or your code, ob1 generates the DDL for the SQL, the functions to power it, and even deploys it for you.

As far as next steps: our goal is to open-source this we're just dog fooding a lot of Outerbase right now to prove it out and we are peeling that back to make it so you can run it all locally.
Almost every serious fisherman that I know or watch on YouTube wears long sleeve SPF shirts with hoods.
A different lens is that GPUs are designed for parallel computing, of which graphics is the first primary use case. Crypto and AI/ML are perfect suits for parallel computing, and not the last ones. And nvidia is in the perfect spot there for the future of parallel computing as a whole.

It doesn't help that their name heavily implies it is a P2P YouTube replacement.

The US version of a sympathy strike is a union contract that states that employees do not have to cross picket lines. For example, whenever there is a strike at my university, city buses don't go on campus and UPS doesn't make deliveries.

Even if their technology is often very nice, the mere idea of working for Google or Meta, or just being in a company they would acquire, sends shivers down my spine. The rare few bad people are used as plausible deniability to create a technical dystopia.

I care more about tech than anything else, but here the moral bad outweighs the good.

I wonder if that's how people felt 30 years ago about Microsoft, or before that time about IBM?
Crazy levels of projection here any time a non-white-collar job is mentioned as being passible.

My brother hated college more than life itself. He always looked forward to summers where he’d work service more consistently. Fast-forward, he’s dropped out and now works in food services full time, never been happier.

Meson or CMake. Neither one is really all that great, I would say personally that Meson is better in theory but CMake is more widely supported so I prefer Meson but it's pretty even. Either one is better than just an enormous makefile. Ninja is a different level of the stack, you can use meson+ninja or cmake+ninja.

Either way the C++ dependency management situation even makes the Python dependency management situation look good by comparison.
Unusual pricing for AWS, minimum 10 users.
I see a lot of these data providers investing in chat style interfaces too, the main plus with aws is all the extra data a Confluence chat interface won’t have for example. Not sure how you reconcile inconsistent data from say slack and confluence. If they get it right though, this will be the top of the stack for AI for a lot of companies
Can you precisely describe the cascade of thoughts and feelings that provoked you to write this comment?
> Yes. A lot less. The US government was fairly small until WW2.

It looks like we went from ~20% GDP federal budget pre-WWII to ~35% 2023. [0]

Digging in, most seems like it's from the creation of health and social security entitlements? And certainly (sadly) most YoY growth. [1] [2]

> You have to look at the cost before determining if it is a success. Not simply the volume of production.

Well, cost and capability. There are many government functions that industry doesn't really need to do.

And if you create businesses for the sole purpose of performing government functions... aren't those just outsourced government departments, albeit managed by contract instead of directly?

The next addition to this series once the PiDP-10 is released should be the PiDP-1.

Upon its release, we will have a reproduction of the entire chronology of hacker culture, featuring three of the most iconic computers in history: the PDP-1 (Spacewar, TECO, LISP, DDT), the PDP-10 (ITS, emacs, TeX, Scheme), and the PDP-11 (UNIX). These three machines stand as the primary ancestors of GNU/Linux and the BSDs. What an exciting era to be alive as a computer hobbyist!

Maybe this could launch a small industry as well. I wouldn't mind having small scale "blinkenlights" replicas of other iconic machines too - the EDSAC, the Bull Gamma 60, the IBM 360/40, the CDC 6600 and the Cray 1 come to mind, but finding software for them would be the hard part.
So if you've got it, what are you complaining about?
I still disagree. Verizon serves every fortune 500 company in existence and our enterprise compute offering was not vmware. Not a single vmware node in all 100+ pops. I also worked at Godaddy, zero vmware, even after IPO, and they most certainly have B2B customers too.
as stated in another response to you, stop being dishonest in your replies. This distinction of ported vs planned is one that doesn't exist when discussing exclusivity to a console.

It's also not relevant when discussing studio's adding support for multiple consoles to their in-house game engines.
Not really - these lights are always on, so if the hub croaks, your lights can still be turned on/off the old-fashioned way.

I actually got touch guards installed on all the switches so the guests don't press them - you can still poke it with a pencil and toggle. In almost 10 years, I have never had to do it.

The only drawback is that if the power goes in and out - all the lights come on. This is where remote functionality is useful, if you are away.
Ask HN: What software do you pay for monthly?
All my older Z-wave switches are Jascos, and while they've been solid for a while now on the Z-Wave part, the relays have been failing over time. One day you turn it on, and instead of staying on, it starts to cycle on-off, on-off, on-off, on-off indefinitely.
They’re Zigbee, so they need a coordinator, which you can buy from IKEA or any other brand that does Zigbee stuff, or you can fashion one from a Zigbee USB stick and a Raspberry.
Even if the technology has moved beyond, it doesn’t affect you, and you aren’t aware of the full implications doesn’t mean that it’s not true.

Often, seemingly simple things like this open up whole new possibilities.

Like shipping containers. They allow us to effectively and efficiently move goods on and off transport. Without them, whole areas of logistics simply aren’t needed.
similar statements apply to public response to mental health -- some situations actually are dangerous, and need attention that is appropriate. A simplistic response is "present govt ID at all times" but that is neither sufficient, nor the way forward IMHO.

No, he mentioned that the stainless steel happened to be bullet proof, which is badass and cool.

That's not the same thing as specifically choosing stainless steel to make it bullet proof. He's using bullet proof to help sell the stainless steel, not the other way around.

It's a tiny distinction, but an important one IMHO.

I'm broadly in favor of organized labor, but it seems very odd to me for a labor action to stop the state-run postal service from delivering to one customer in particular. The postal workers aren't Tesla employees. In the U.S., at least, government workers can strike against their government employer, but de-facto denying government services to a specific company would be way out of bounds.
Yes agreed. Also when people did do these jobs it was often quite a while ago without noticing how much worse this work has been made in the last ten or fifteen years. Or they were only doing them briefly during a transition (like college) and haven't really considered the psychological impact of this being the only work you do and ever expect to do for decades straight.
> The sound will be 'hollow' (I have no better term for it, that's what it sounds like to me).

"Hollow" is a good description. It's the weird missing fundamental [1] sound you can get from a high pass filter.

Again, what is "break even"?

For example, in electric vehicles, the initial production emits much more than a conventional gas car (mostly due to the battery). A lot of people don't realize that as much as 30% of a vehicle's lifetime emissions can be in the initial production alone. As a result it takes ~28-68.2k miles (in the US) for an EV to emit comparatively fewer emissions

Are you looking for a number like that? If you are then you would have to more narrowly defined your use-case. There are far too many factors, infrastructures, conditions, technologies, etc to consider

I haven't really had a strong illness since before covid either.

I did finally have a 99.9F fever for a day recently that felt a lot like a vaccine shot.

I haven't been particularly careful about anything for the past 2 years I think.
Yeah, good point. CUDA doesn't depend on the display server anyway. But not sure if it's possible to have Nvidia's kernel module and nouveau enabled at the same time. I remember one was disabling another in the past explicitly.
I know I will be crucified for this, but doesn't it seem like a dangerous precedent that a public utility can choose to stop working for certain companies/citizens? I understand striking in a binary way, working or not working, but being a public utility and deciding who you serve depending on whatever criteria, be it politics or whatever, seems like it could get ugly depending on the circumstances. Imagine if physicians or bus drivers did this.
Yeah, I had no idea. That's ... worrying.

Unfortunately for new investors, their market cap is even more insane, giving them a crazy PE ratio of 73.
You don't care about most users, and you don't care about creators, that's alright, but please don't behave as if they didn't matter. You are not representative of useful population if you use yt-dlp to bypass issues. It's nice that you can do it, but it's a shitty situation that you have to do it to evade pervasive surveillance and the madness capitalism brings us into.

YouTube doesn't want you to see their videos outside YouTube. They let you do it at the moment because it's more profitable this way, but you'll always be fighting against them. Why not propel a platform you don't have to fight against ? One that serves your needs because it is a digital commons ? yt-dlp and any other means of accessing content can be built with the platform instead of against.

You behave as if you were totally independent from platforms, but it's wrong: as a user you depend on them. You depend on developers maintaining it and making it better, on admins running it, on business people allowing you to freeride. It doesn't make sense to live in a society where we are adversaries by default, it's such a waste of time and energy.
Is this why Amazon bought MGM? So they can use a James Bond movie character name?
That UB is so hard to see, even when you know about static initialization order indeterminism.

Static initialization is such a bug magnet in general. Can make builds ”work” randomly, when static object constructors are ran in more or less random order, decided by the compiler. Change something unrelated and kaboom.

(Needless to say, that statically initializing anything with a complex constructor is a bad idea, especially if it refers to another statically initialized object.)
Well it’s not like Postnord manages to deliver something even if they try.

I don't think that is a valid argument. Laws are a hazzle to deal with etc.

I am buying caste discrimination is a big problem in the US though.
The best thing about this technology is all the existing systems. Experienced workforce, an established manufacturing and supply chain, global projects. And it all comes from the oil and gas industry that will decline with green power, so there can be transition instead of a huge disruption.
It's funny in a sort of sad, clown world way.

Paying customers are treated like criminals, can't download stuff to watch offline, can't even screenshot their screens without some sort of "protection" kicking in, have access to a shitty selection of titles which often lack subtitles and extra content if they aren't straight up censored or "revised", are forced to use the corporation's shitty video player software and on top of all that they get horribly compressed encodes to the point it's got artifacts in 90% black frames.

Meanwhile "pirates" get everything humanity has ever created for free in the highest quality available packaged as simple DRM-free files they can do anything they want with and that they can play on any device or with a well configured mpv.

They defeat themselves with this copyright nonsense. It gets to the point they can't match the level of service offered by a bunch of "pirates".
Maybe we should repeal the Chicken Tax first.
> it shows them you're willing to dodge paying $10 instead

They assume what they want of my actions. They may instead choose to think that I don't like using their service; perhaps I don't like the licensing terms that a copyright owner might choose to not offer their stuff on Amazon anymore leaving me SOL on my purchase. I buy games on Steam because their service doesn't suck for consumers. Valve recognizes that Steam's revenue comes from people choosing to use the platform to purchase games and they act like it.

> music (disclaimer I make music)

How do you feel about the settlement between Tom Petty and Sam Smith[0]? Do you think your music is infringing copyright because you independently made a song that happens to contain a copy of a part of another song's melody? Does the other song writer deserve their 12.5% cut of your music "as is usual for writers of sampled or interpolated work" even if they clarify that they don't think your interpolation was intentional? I personally wouldn't think so; seems to me that it's just a cartel doing its thing. Even if said interpolation was unintentional, you, the song writer, made the mistake of not knowing that the melody in your song had already been popularized.

0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_with_Me_(Sam_Smith_song)#...

> I want the item for free

No, this is just a common assumption that people make. I bought the item already, lost it, and recognize that making another copy is practically free. I no longer have my copy of Pokemon Red that I had as a kid and I'm not apologizing to Nintendo or Game Freak just because I found a ROM online to use instead. Let's take a more recent personal example: Monster Sanctuary[1]. I have purchased this game no less than 3 times (Steam, Playstation, Switch) because it was more convenient and reliable than pirating it in every instance.

> throwing jingoism and shade at at anything you disagree with furthers the idea that you're not open to compromise

Like how every time anyone speaks out against the copyright cartel it's immediately framed to be because they want something for nothing by someone who disagrees. Pot, meet Kettle.

I will stand by that statement. This copyright shit is a farce. 10-year terms would be fine but Disney didn't want to lose Mickey Mouse. Tom Petty doesn't need to go after Sam Smith for supposedly copying the melody of a song that was written 34 years ago. You personally shouldn't lose revenue on your own songs just because you accidentally copied the melody of a song you heard when you were 6.
