> why aren't we(the EU) fighting to reduce or emliminate those complexities

Because, again, the EU is composed of different countries with different laws/culture/opinions/&c. we can't agree on most things do you think it's just a matter of "want". Again it's an economical alliance not a federation, if we wanted a federation we'd have a federation

You seem to imagine this is a detail but it really isn't one. Labor laws didn't materialise out of thin air in anno domini 2024, there are hundreds of years of inertia. The ultra privileged "laptop class" making 2-5x the min wage of their respective country's wage isn't a top priority for our overlords in Bruxelles
You must be pleasant to work with, I mean miserable. If someone does not close because the opposite party did not move forward with the deal that does not make them a weak link. She could not have controlled the outcome of a sale.

Anyway. That was really heartbreaking to watch. She really composed herself and kept it professional. I know my call would have ended fast because you would not hear anything but bleeps. Sucks. She sounds smart, so I doubt it has anything to do with her performance. Sounds like she was still under the 90 day mark. EZ target to dissolve. Welcome to Murica baby.

Often times, these big corporations outsource the parting task with other organizations. I experienced two since 2020. My advice to anyone reading this. Do the bare minimum. They do not give a f about you. 2024 is going to be a shit show. Good luck to everyone. Remember, whoever you are, whatever the circumstance you are facing, you matter!

Ask HN: Got a /22, cool things to do with it?
Through some weird happenings I've recently got access to an /22 and its ASN. Now I'm looking for some fun things to do with it, things which are only possible with such a "large" number of IPs. Any suggestions?
Didn't get much notice from my post of it:

Heya, project maintainer here! Adding Kagi support in https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results was an easy lift, and it allows to use the filtering presets that are available at the bottom of the template. It also allows you to bring your blocklist in and out as you transition between search engines.
Ok? Sounds like the person you're replying to said they did too? Why are we ending our statements in question marks.
Yup, I haven’t tried it but there is https://devenv.sh which is built on top of nix and makes it simple.

I don't have experience with tinkering with typical Unity apps. But we have one at work and on Linux it literally has the `.so` files for native libraries in a standalone directory (including one LGPL library that we use) which you can easily replace with a differently compiled version if you so desired.
I really don’t think that people “forget” that. You’re effectively saying “if Microsoft continued to be predatory and anticompetitive to the degree they were, there wouldn’t be [other option]”. What’s the point? Seems self-evident.
Bayesian statistics are sold as a panacea to fix the current (many) ills of science.

In reality they don't fix anything, and probably make things even worse. There are no commonly accepted or analyzed criteria for assessing Bayesian analyses. Heck, an analysis being "Bayesian" doesn't tell almost anything about it as it can mean a plethora of unrelated things.

The crises of science are sociological, not technical. My take of the core issue is the changing of science from an ethics and reputation based institution into a neoliberal bean counting paper industry.
> Every damn thing needs an app

EU is going to require all chargers to just work with credit cards: https://www.theverge.com/23806690/eu-ev-fast-charger-60km-la...

--- start quote ---

he regulation also requires that ad-hoc charging payments can be made via cards or contactless devices, without requiring a subscription. That should make it possible to pull over to any charging station from any network and charge your EV without first hunting for the correct app or signing up for a subscription. Operators are required to clearly list prices at their installed recharging points via “electronic means,” including wait times and availability.

And other than being stressed and annoyed and having to fuss with a bunch of extra stuff to use the Internet, this makes your life better how?
(1) is an important point, but I think it doesn't go far enough. The terminal offers no help at all to a casual user (the funniest case of this is watching a new user trying to quit vim [0]).

There are a specific set of skills required to learn how to use the terminal - a combination of knowing when and how to read man pages, when to look up Stack Overflow, when to look up YouTube videos, and where to hang out to learn about more esoteric commands exist like `parallel`.

Without those skills - and there is no recommended path on how to get them - the terminal is unusable. It isn't a case of people thinking it is hard, it is actually logically impossible to learn how to learn terminal commands without getting lucky at the start.

Software has two phases - a learning phase and a using phase. A lot of great software ideas died quietly because there wasn't a sanctioned route to scale the learning curve.

Powershell cmdlets make the CLI really nice to use; you declare the variables in your program parameters and then hitting tab will auto-suggest/auto-complete them for you, and you can generate help docs for each cmdlet as well
Yeah, they did that. The app is not going "downhill" yet, however if they start to ruin it for good, I'll be moving out.

I was not planning to do that, and I don't wish that they force me to do that.

I've read about this happening a lot with google cloud

If your payments fail for whatever reason google will happily kill your entire account after a few weeks with nothing other than a few email warnings (which obviously routinely get ignored)
Critics love to also cite the resource cost for manufacturing PV modules or wind turbines to point out that green electricity isn't emissions free either but that ignores the even worse resource costs of fossil power and the continuous environmental damage from mining/drilling the fuel.

All things considered, green energy is better than fossil and EVs are better than ICEs. Of course where we really need to go is reducing individual transport by expanding public transit infrastructure, electrified buses, trams and trains easily beat personal EVs when it comes to resource use per person.

FWIW a bigger concern than the increased energy demand from EVs is the load this puts on the grid infrastructure. But this is also very much true for rooftop PV.
EU is doing that as well now: https://www.theverge.com/23806690/eu-ev-fast-charger-60km-la...

Hardware dual boot select using Raspberry Pi Pico
Pre-choose the OS to boot, even before turning on the computer by toggling a switch. Now you don't have to wait to select the os.
EVs are great commuter vehicles, but they make absolutely no sense for rental cars (or pickup trucks). You pay for a rental car by the hour or day, why would you want to have a vehicle that can drive for a certain period of time and then have to sit for a significant period of time before you can use it again?

Not to mention the annoying logistics question of how Hertz would deal with EVs returned with a low charge. With gas vehicles they can happily charge you an excessive fee and spend a few minutes filling it up. With an EV they can still charge you, but the next customer may not be able to use the car for hours. I assume Hertz would ultimately have to float more unused vehicles at busy locations to cover for EVs charging after they were returned.
That’s what I do on my site! It is (AFAIK) the only way to get platform-specific, dynamic emojis as the favicon.
I thought the limited history was weird too and had bumped up my retention to 1000 days or something. Fortunately I only got a couple hundred days into that before they released just recently an update that includes trends in the history graphs. Apparently that data was there all along, just not being shown. It is not full data but enough to fill in the graph.

Just thought I would mention it.
It indeed works well. I bought a refurb Dell SFF desktop with an empty M.2 slot for wifi/Bluetooth. I added a Coral TPU in M.2 form factor and it's serving as my NVR now. The integrated Intel GPU also offers hardware accelerated video encode/decode.
If you call yourself a react dev, then I’m sorry you’re not a software engineer. That’s like calling urself a Facebook marketer instead of a marketer. Good way to box yourself into a niche that may run out of demand
I'd imagine the valuation software is actually pretty straight forward and maybe libraries iike this could be used for the various 409a valuation methods:

Then you could build a network of third party advisors who would sign off on the valuation.

Now I'm wondering if I overuse / abuse my CLI. I don't find this to be a surprising number of deduped entries in the least.
1000 stations is nothing. Like there's more than 10000 gas stations in France alone, with just a fraction of a 1000 you won't get anywhere (or at least nowhere near as easily as with an ICE).
As a user you'll probably find you get more clickbait, more ads, more paywalls, less access to high quailty content, etc as publishers scramble to survive. (Because the value of their ad inventory drops.)

And as marketing is less efficient, higher budgets are required to drive the same results. We can potentially expect to see these costs gradually passed on to the consumers and watch more businesses fail.

Batteries are still surprisingly heavy. I'm sure someone here has a more accurate lb/kWh figure, but my first gen Chevy volt can do about 35 miles on a charge and the batteries weigh several hundred pounds.
This line of reasoning could be applied to the switch from candles to electric switches. Putting out the candles at night puts you into sleep mode, why would you want bright lights after the sun is down. At the time the fire risk was similar. Not everyone wanted to electrify their homes.

I still use switches in some places in my apartment, but haven't had a need to touch my bathroom and kitchen light switches in a year. Once you start getting used to your automations, it really does feel like a level up to your home.

It's not limited to just filing lawsuits. There are federal agencies you can file complaints with that will then tip off investigations and you can do that for free.

These types of firings, where the employee was given no negative feedback, there is no paper trail, evidence, etc. creates the type of gray areas that can easily lead to findings in favor of the employee if she were to file something for say sex discrimination. Cloudflare may have to go and find other instances where they fired non-protected class employees in a similar fashion. At the very least, it's going to be a PITA for their HR/legal team and may cost them some fines as well.
Not in network is something that I'm facing in my country despite "universal healthcare".

Paula Vennells handing back her CBE doesn't get remotely close to accountability. Many won't feel a sense of closure until she's aggressively prosecuted and languishes in a prison cell for the rest of her years. I'm actually surprised at the restraint shown by ITV in her depiction, because in real life she bears many of the hallmarks of a cartoon villain.
> More diversity in outcomes in the US, but also better in the median.

To be fair, the median household in the US doesn't have that much more disposable income if taking healthcare and child care costs into account, especially if they're simultaneously expected to save up a 1-2 year buffer and maybe more if they want a comfortable retirement.

But for the top 20%, which includes many tech workers, the difference is larger.

Because if you don't agree to the GPL's interpretation of it, then you haven't agreed to the license for the library and you don't have permission to distribute it?

(edited)

I think this is the magic legal judo of the (L)GPL that makes it work. Regardless of your feelings about the license, it's extraordinarily clever!

Note that if the license said you had to, for instance, share x% of your revenue with the licensor, that's not part of copyright law either, but it's still probably a legal license.
It does shatter the illusion somewhat.

I love the MBP 2015. This MacBook model actually supports MacOS Monterey natively. That's three editions newer than Mojave. It just requires an OS reinstall. After you backup your files, you can reboot it while holding ALT+CMD+R to start online recovery mode. That will let you download and install the latest MacOS version the hardware supports.

Missing from your timeline:

2006-05-01 NIST SP 800-57 Part 1 Rev. 1 is published, which recommends to stop using 1024-bit DSA by 2010.
2010 passes, but OpenSSH never added support for DSA with keylengths larger than 1024-bit.
2015-08-11 OpenSSH 7 disables DSA at runtime.

The new announcement is just removing the config option to re-enable the algorithm. Hopefully most people stuck on DSA already starting migrating in 2015 (ideally: finished migration before 2010).

I totally agree that people should strive to have an ethical center in their work and refuse to do unethical things when asked by their employers.

(But for what it's worth, this doesn't seem to me like a cut and dry description of what happened here; sales is a very cut-throat quota sensitive profession in my experience.)

But nevertheless, I empathize with people who also have to figure out how to put food on their own family's table, in a profession (HR) that is itself very sensitive to downturns.

The comments in this thread read to me like software developers who have not faced a world where it is not easy get a better new job easily after quitting one that sucks, and / or who are young and unattached with very few expenses, and struggle to put themselves in the shoes of someone for whom a principled resignation could have devastating consequences.

It just seems to me like a classic case of shooting the messenger.

Interesting article! Given that subtraction isn't closed on the natural numbers, I wonder if it would be possible to implement subtraction as operations on a new type (Integer, Z):

Z = N x N (Cartesian product or sum type)
for p, q in Z: p=q if p.first + q.second = q.first + p.second
p + q := (p.first + q.first, p.second + q.second)
p - q := (p.first + q.second, p.second + q.first)

Rational numbers can similarly be defined by new operations and equivalence relations on the product set Z x Z. I don't know enough Rust to say whether it's feasible to implement this in the type system, but I'd be curious to hear from someone more experienced!
> Looking back even I found that a bit strange because I understand the thing with doing only harm when someone is leaving. For example by leaving backdoors?

I think the harm meant is more about spreading negativity to other employees who might be inspired to jump ship too.
I’d trust your accolades more if you didn’t muddy them with comments like “BBEdit has everything VSCode has”, especially as you go on to show that you have a real ideological axe to grind, and by the sound of things probably don’t spend much time using VS Code anyway. Is it just because both editors are Turing-complete? Are you really telling me that the absolute buckets of money Microsoft is spending to re-EEE the development ecosystem with VS Code has not yet resulted in ANYTHING potentially compelling to ANY user vs BBEdit? I wouldn’t believe you if you said no. Please don’t ruin a positive thing with rants.
