"Signs" was one of my favorite films of the 2000s, if you don't nitpick about the water. Suspenseful, well acted, leaves you guessing, eager for more.

Suffice to say, I eagerly anticipated "The Village" from the moment the first trailer dropped. The costumes looked cool. The colors, the creatures, the mood and the mystery.

I don't think I've ever left a theater quite so disappointed. The twist ruined what had been a magical experience for the better half of the film. I wanted the magic to endure, but I got slapped with a bad episode of "The Outer Limits".

Shyamalan remains a fantastic filmmaker for his hits, but this one hurt me. I don't wait for films anymore.
Frontier, Windstream, and Lumen are all really odd companies that are holding the bag on providing POTS and DSL to rural areas. From what I've heard from people in those companies, the universal service fund is the lifeblood of the companies. Much like Google, they're trying to find new revenue sources, and unlike Google, are having some success in their diversification efforts, but that universal service fund money really would be difficult to do without. With Starlink maturing and competing services in at least the planning stages, I wonder how much longer the government will keep the basis for rural copper going.
thank you for your suggestion. I went with the "60s penalty" suggestion in the end.
You literally wrote "If crime remains a constant then having shitty software security is a safety valve" - so there is some implication otherwise how would that work? Why would crime become constant?

My daily spending was about like this:

- Cheap first meal: $2-$3
- 2-3 Espresso from Supermarkets: $4
- Coffee or tea to go: $3
- Water: $1
- Eating out: $6-$30

So my average day in Food was about $16 - $41 per day. I rarely spend this much in Switzerland when buying only organic food and mostly from farmers. I save a lot on coffee by having a proper coffee machine.
Ad the part about cables:

If you have long cable runs I'd use an optical signal or a balanced line signal (this is why professional audio gear has balanced outputs and inputs with TRS 6.3mm or XLR-3 connectors).

There are simple adapters that allow you to send 4 balanced audio signals over existing ethernet connections. With CAT6 you can easily push balanced signals over a kilometer (long beyond the 100m treshold of actual CAT6 ethernet) without any noticable degradation.

If you have unbalanced signals from weak sources (vinyl needle?) you should keep the cable runs short, but even if the driver is good it can help to add a balun (passive or active) to run the thing balanced when the cable run is longer than 10 meters or is in a harsh environment (e.g. power chords with bursty loads emitting EMF).

Ok, but if it's interactive I can open a fridge, take a picture of it and upload it to ChatGPT. You wouldn't need a smart fridge for that.

Dumb question, but it's the same in France and Switzerland, and year the fiber optic coverage is quite good. They just use the existing conduit. Fiber creates no interference and usually they run alongside telephone cables
I wouldn't. Cost to make a device "smart" is much less than $1 in parts, app and infrastructure are not rocket science and even with no evil intentions you get very valuable data on usage, what breaks first, environment, location etc. Seems like a no-brainer.

The telephone companies seem to actively push for you to get rid of your land line. My monthly bill recently dropped $75 ($50 for local-only phone service + fees like 911), when I canceled my land line.

You do realize this is AWS policy, right? I mean you cannot run away from AWS costs ... on AWS. They are targeting dollar amounts of profits for themselves, not charging cost+20% for service X. They will find some other way to charge you the yet more than you're saving here, because MBA culture.

And AWS is like 10x more expensive than dedicated hosting, minimum. Not 10%, 1000%. To the point that for the price of

> I think the quality of technical recruiters has taken a hit in the last half-decade or so.

Recruiters without domain knowledge about the area they are hiring for is very common. I'd say it's like that for 95% of all recruiters I've worked with in the last two decades.

There are those who specialize in some niche area and when you find them, it's awesome. But most are just hiring for any position that appears in the org chart or is requested by clients. Add to that being overloaded and the screening becomes really shallow (this, ATS systems and whatnot).

We did lose a fridge full of food once. On our way out for the weekend, my wife opened the freezer to grab ice to pack the cooler. She left the freezer door slightly ajar and grabbed the cooler and threw it in the car and we left.

We came home on Sunday to the fridge and freezer completely ambient temp and had to toss everything.

If we had a mobile alert on our phone, we could have turned around and closed it just fine, or asked our neighbor to.

When I lived in a small European town a few years ago, upon hearing that I was a software developer, regular-ass business dudes would regularly want to talk about NFTs, inbetween a conversation about football and one about cars.

I'm sure there are weirdos in the web3 spaces, but I feel like they're very outnumbered. Projects like ENS or IPFS are probably much more interesting to weirdos than most "crypto stuff". I2P too, though I don't think this twenty-year-old project should be lumped in with "web3".

I think the Fediverse is a better place to go. Lots of little communities, almost all of run by regular nerds, each one with their own quirks and petty personal drama and constant UI tweaking? It's like forums all over again, except it's now safe to use one password for everything.

Something that would have been really helpful to me: If the big pitch is "how easy it is" and "the mental model", get to that part sooner! Put up some pictures of what I'm supposed to visualize when I'm dealing with merge conflicts, and the simple commands mapping easily to that mental model.

I also read a ton of paragraphs excited about an easier Git, but I just couldn't understand what you were talking about and how it make my life easier. What does it mean to make merge conflicts first class?

Yes, that's what they said. And I'm not giving my opinion on their take here.

But they said nothing about PFAS, and made no proposal to ban them.

Again, this is an abstract statement that says “stop shying away from punishing those bastards when they kill people”, not a proposal to ban PFAS in particular in this situation.
I addressed the big ICJ thread below. The suppressed threads were posted much earlier, and showed clear signs of being flagged as soon as they were visible.

Which is the point - a small crowd of partisans can flag third rail topics here, no matter how much interest or how much positive discussion is happening.

I remember, in particular, the time all the posts about a lead torturer from Abu Ghraib were suppressed. Although she destroyed Congressional evidence, she was promoted to a top position at at a top tech hirer. We should be able to talk about things like that.

Your response then was the same as now; to deflect responsibility to 'users'. I don't buy it. The same happened with Annie Altman's claims about her brother. The same has happened with quite a few Zionism related threads, recently and historically. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37953737, which clearly is squarely in our domain.

There is room for improvement here. A minority of strongly biased participants, on any issue, shouldn't be able to completely disappear whole sides of the story, as has been happening.
Wikipedia and all linguistic resources that I have come across categorize Vietnamese as an Austroasiatic language (which includes Khmer) and not “Sinosphere language” (whatever that means). You are confusing writing system with language. I would argue that adopting the Latin alphabets was a great mistake. It basically severe all the young generations from all their historical writings. Also, Latinized Vietnamese scripts is one the most hideous scripts out there.
Ques: Why are so many single-letter .org, .net, and .co domains unused?
I read in a great blog post[0] that many single letter .org, .net, and .co domains are unused and available for purchase. How come no one is using them? I would imagine big companies/products would jump on them (e.g. x.com) considering how easy they are to remember. How come so few are actually being used?

Are people squatting on these domains, making them exorbitantly expensive? I could understand if IANA didn't want people to purchase single-letter domains to avoid scams (e.g. owner of e.com can scam people with googl.e.com). But so many of these domains are registered and available to purchase. Any guesses on the reason?

If you are open in your visa application about what you're going to be doing, then it's obviously all above the board.

>Does a once in 40 years mistake justify carrying an app around that does god knows what else, and the extra expense and hassle of a fridge that might or might not spy on you?

>Do we need to therefore instrument our stoves, ovens, baths and basins to insulate ourselves from the other common domestic nightmare scenarios?

Exactly. There are a lot of things that could go wrong in daily life.

Let's say you are sleeping and one of the bed slats bends or breaks (this has actually happened to me). It's messy, especially because you wake up and putting the bed slat back is not easy. So what do you do? You either ignore the fact it may happen, or you say "well if it does happen, I guess I'll sleep on the couch or something". No one that I know, even among the most "smart home" obsessed people, has a bed which automatically beeps or sends a push notification if the slats are about to break.

Ok, now you wake up and nothing bad happened so far. You have breakfast (maybe you have a smart fridge which ensures you're not running out of yogurt or whatever). Then you go dress yourself. But then you realize your favorite shirt has a stain you didn't notice. Do you have a drawer that automatically beeps if your clothes have stains? Probably not. You either remember to watch closely your clothes and wash them properly, or say "whatever, I'll go with something else and I'll wash that later".

And so on. Life is full of minor inconveniences. That doesn't mean you should necessarily fill your life with sensors and beepers for every possible scenario. I might be getting too philosophical, but part of life is also becoming aware that things happen and you can't always be 100% safe in any possible scenario.
This line of reasoning is absurd!

We know PFAS levels in the environment can only increase in practice due to their very low degradation rate (hence their “forever chemicals” nickname). So even if these harmful levels aren't being reached now, they will definitely be at some point of we keep pouring them out there. And by that time it would be too late.

You don't wait for someone to be harm before intervening when the harm is likely.

I remember when I decided I wanted to create a TUI for ROS2, I went through tens of libraries trying to figure out which would be best suited for what I wanted. I remember stumbling upon Nick's book "Hacking the planet with Notcurses". I Loved his attitude and passion, and felt it was fitting for what I was working on.

I was always impressed by how clean and consistent Notcurses was, I never found myself wanting for functionality or power. It was always performant and stayed out of my way when I was doing the un-orthodox. I consider it a shining example of the kind of culture that got me into this sort of thing. I look forward to working with it again when I find the excuse!
Great to hear, thanks a lot!

When a text is hard I normally don't focus on understanding everything on the first (or second) pass. After reading through, taking a break and reflecting on what I did and didn't understand helps immensely on the subsequent rereads. After that talking it over with others generally helps identify gaps.

That said, I have much more time and patience then when I was in school which also helps immensely.

Except that everything regarding contemporary politics in English Wikipedia is biased beyond any belief.

And they seem to be adamant about titling the article about Kalashnikov rifle "AK-47", which is simply wrong (there were only handful of actual units of model AK-47 produced, and the mass armament of Soviet army with AKs has started with AKM), and their justification for that is "but that's how AK called in the media" - I thought Wikipedia is there to debunk media myths, not amplify them.

Other than that, yes, Wikipedia is a miracle.

“AI is going to fill the web with garbage. How are we going to deal with that? “
Is an excellent question. I genuinely worry about that. Several years ago, if you’re good at searching by keywords you can sift through low quality content and get to the reasonable sources easily. Then came the SEO spam. Blogs and articles that repeated content to appease the bots, but annoyed the users searching for content. Now, AI is going to put it on steroids. We are going to have LLMs search the web for us and eliminate results that look like they were generated by LLMs. What a pity state of the internet that will be.
Currently the only paid version without ads will be the steam one.

But as I said in another comment, I'm looking for ad providers that are privacy friendly. I keep my hopes up that such provider much exist. Or that I can maybe skip providers and display banners to publishers directly, where tracking only occurs if the ad is clicked.

And I'm also considering released paid ad-free iOS and android versions, it just won't happen right away.

And at the moment, there is no tracking at all on the website (except if you create an account, there are just cookies to save scores)
