For better or for worse, no, they could not have kept the working bits the same. The US EPA has progressively tightened restrictions both on what refrigerants can be used and how much electricity can be used. Instead of focusing on making that reliable, they're focusing on making it cheap so they can add gizmos.

Besides, if you've got to replace a fridge every five years now that's a win for the appliance manufacturers. Although, really, who offers anything more than a 1 year warranty anymore? That should tell you how long these things are expected to last.

I routinely use Quest 3 with Immersed to do "focused" work by switching to specific environments that I associate with that. I can also co-work in a room of 5 - 10 other people who are also doing that which generates a little bit of impetus to focus as well.

I think if this becomes the only reason to keep the device, for sure explore some other options like Quest 3 and see if it's sufficient. It does a lot more things than a Vision Pro and costs so much less. It's pretty personal whether the resolution cuts it or you really need the quality of the Vision Pro or not, but it works for me.

Im sitting in England unable to test this.

Can anyone confirm if there is lag when moving objects around in this thing?

Your devices would be secure as long as a private key that happened to be the most valuable intelligence asset in the United States, accessed thousands of times per day, by police spread across the entire nation, was never copied or stolen.
nuclear codes are probably not used as much as phone backdoors. local police wants access too and other governments so I do believe it would leak

nit: there is no community edition of Rider as of now (nor CLion from what I saw a few years ago. Could have changed). But yes, that is one thing I do like about Jetbrains.

But as of now I am paying a subscription price and I'm sure if I was on an older version this would want me to update. So now we have 2 subscriptions.

>The "AI" service consumes real resources - it is not free for them to operate, and is a new cost burden that cannot be absorbed by the existing pricing. It makes complete sense for it to be its own cost

sure, I don't care about it being free or paid. I pay for Dotcover as well so I'm not opposed to other paid tools if I find them useful.

I just don't want there to be some constant ploy of "oh you want to use a proile command in the top level menu? You haven't paid yet! Would you like to extend your subscription?" That's an annoying sales pitch. If I don't have a profiler don't put it front in center as if I do.

I think this must be a matter of preference. I absolutely hate Windows’ window management. I waste endless time fussing around getting windows where I want them to be.

This happens every time I unplug my laptop from external monitors, or plug it in to external monitors (even if they’re the exact same model and configuration as other monitors I’ve previously used). It’s aggravating and distracts me from what I’m trying to do.

Whereas I never have any issues on OSX, always find my windows where I expect them to be, and spend a lot less time moving and rearranging them.

The two operating systems do have different approaches to window management and to me it sounds like you simply prefer Windows, whereas I prefer OSX.
Nothing new. This attack is demonstrated here many times and the Microsoft docs discuss a similar attack using self encrypting drives. The counter measure is to use a virtual TPM built into the CPU or to use TPM+PIN (which is standard practice for security).
You're right, I looked it up. SaaS software is essentially rented but that's not the same thing as "rent seeking" by the company. I think that's an unfortunate name for the bahavior. The examples I found sound like getting a legislated flow of money for doing nothing. In that light, lobbying for tax reductions would be rent seeking? A penny saved is a penny earned - for nothing.
I also had a terrible experience with USAA. I don't know what happened to them, but it is a rotten company now. I switched to Country Financial recently as I can at least talk to a person without a nightmare phone tree there.

Which backdoor do you mean? I'm not an Apple expert by any means, but I thought they encrypted customer data in a way that even they can't get to it? Wasn't that the crux of this case, that Apple couldn't help the FBI due to security measures, prompting the agency to ask for a backdoor?
P.S.: I realize this thread already wandered quite far from the rocket equation, but I'm going to lean on the principle that quoting Deus Ex (2000) is always nice:

> * Argumentative, especially about politics or philosophy.

> * Interests in chemistry, electronics, or computers.

> * Large numbers of mail-order deliveries.

> * Taking photographs of major landmarks.

> And those are just a few. If you're suspicious, then turn them in to your local

The easy answer when bringing up something like IntelliJ is that we very much intend to go beyond the IDE (local edit-build-debug loop) and beyond an specific programming language (or set of related languages in the case of IntelliJ). But it is generally true that we aren't the first or only company to think about multiple parts of the development workflow. You could point to, say, Jetbrains Space as a better example of something from them in the same space (pun not intended).

We want to build an integrated development platform that goes from locally writing code, to code review, to continuous monitoring of code quality, to enabling automated dependency upgrades and migrations, to compiler optimizations guided by usage data and constraints. That doesn't mean that every tool in the platform will be something we build from scratch, though, we are looking to integrate with existing developer tools along a number of supported "golden paths", besides making our tooling available a la carte for others.

For linting, specifically. It's easy to add linting frameworks and checks, for most languages, but there are a few things we need to be considered when a diagnostic is surfaced locally:
- Is it a suggestion or an actual error?
- Is there an automated fix available?
- Is the right set of checks turned on for the right subset of the code?

Then there is also the aspect of visibility and observability. Here is an example of an issue for which a lint was readily available, but ignored: https://imgur.com/a/wWqa0Wg. We believe that's common and not a matter of human error, but a direct consequence of the tooling not surfacing the issue in the right ways or providing an easy path to fix it once the code is already in the codebase.

Or, consider code refactoring. Many IDEs support code refactoring with full AST information, but for large codebases it can hit limits fairly easily: for a large monorepo, it might not scale in the sense of being able to keep all code indexed in memory within the same session; for a set of microrepos, it can struggle to perform refactorings across repo boundaries. One approach here is to build a powerful refactoring engine and expose it via integrations to the IDE (including IntelliJ!), code review system, and some sort of global management UI.

For each of the questions above you can find potential solutions, both from companies and in open-source, and yet, companies that can afford it benefit from having a "dev platform" team integrating, customizing, and maintaining various such tools benefit from that investment. I'd argue there isn't currently a clear go to answer for "Developer Platform as a service", particularly one that doesn't care to tie you to a particular language or stack.
> As long as the government can keep a private key secure only they could make use of it.

Not disingenuous. Keys are stolen or leaked all the time. And the blast radius of such a master key would be extremely large.
> That is _insanely_ shortsighted.

Relax. While I wouldn't recommend OPs approach either. But you're not particularly right either.

Exodus clearly states:

> Exodus is a tool that makes it easy to successfully relocate Linux ELF binaries from one system to another... Server-oriented distributions tend to have more limited and outdated packages than desktop distributions, so it's fairly common that one might have a piece of software installed on their laptop that they can't easily install on a remote machine.

Exodus is specifically designed for moving between different systems.

He is largely moving from the same base image. In the article base layer is `alpine:3.18` and the target image is `alpine:3.18` and in the latter part of the article `scratch` (less to zero conflict surface). One would assume those two would be coupled.

There are other technical merits to not doing what he's doing but you haven't listed any and dismissed his work. I'd venture if you actually knew what you're talking about you'd have better things to add to this conversation than "OS package managers handle dependencies for a reason."

Perhaps next time give some feedback that would help the writer get closer to a well-working exodus like solution. It's hackernews, "dont roll your own" discouragement should be frowned upon.

Transistor Basics
If you’re asking why a referral program would forbid the listing of referral links on coupon sites, I’d imagine it’s because most people visiting a coupon aggregator are already on the website checkout page ready to make a purchase.

FWIW this is a fair and valid argument. Generally, no one entity should have that much power. Doesn’t really matter if it’s USG or a tech giant.

>The EU just made it so that any new major appliance must be repaired by the maker for 10 years

I'm not sure how true that is, but I set by VPN Dublin, Ireland and did some shopping to see what brands are avaliable.

BEKO
BOSCH
CANDY
HOOVER
HOTPOINT
INDESIT
LIEBHERR
MIELE
NORDMENDE
NORKO
POWERPOINT
SIEMENS
TCL
WHIRLPOOL

Really surprising to my that a Bosch / Miele can be had for less than $1000. In the US, it’s hard to find anything less than $3k in those brands. I have seen some places around here sell Beko, but only in white.

EVs are greener, both in the sense of reducing carbon emissions and in terms of reducing the pollution we suffer on a daily basis.

The author does acknowledge this in thier linked post, but I think it's worth pointing out. They are in the UK, where MBAs are not as credentialized. DIY MBAs are low value.

You can get a BS in Business Administration, or even a minor in it, and have more knowledge and experience than from reading these books. Guess what? Even with those credentials, they will not help you. "I have an MBA from [prestigious school]" are the magic words. The hiring managers don't care about lesser credentials or actual knowledge.
> like cmd-tab, focus an app, cmd-up arrow to show the windows of the app, and so forth

It's not that I'm ignorant of these, it's that they're clunky for a browser centric workflow. The abstraction of an "app" is just plain wrong for the way that I and many others use computers these days, because one app (the browser) is home to most of the tasks I'm working on and already has its own second-level navigation in the form of tabs. The "app" layer means on Mac there are three levels of navigation to get to what I'm trying to do, which is too many.

What makes Windows (and most Linux DEs) better for the browser-centric world is that windows themselves are first class citizens—I don't have to pass through Firefox to get to GitHub.
I would say that's not the key takeaway; it's about the relationship between income and children within a country.

From the conclusion:

"Past fertility research largely focused on understanding fertility decline over time and the negative cross-country relationship between income and fertility. The most important mechanism in explaining these patterns was the quantity-quality tradeoff. However, much has changed over the last few decades. In particular, fertility is no longer negatively related to income across high-income countries. Instead, family policy, cooperative fathers, favorable social norms, and flexible labor markets have become key determinants of fertility choice. Thus, a new era of fertility research has begun."
> It sounds like the team could benefit from better stack technologies and a bit more discipline in how it is applied to solutioning.

For our specific case it's actually pretty good, we've built a lot of discipline around maintainability, but in general this is a recurring problem in tech teams who might not be able to afford the time it takes to gain discipline.

> What is the alternative to this tool that lowers the cognitive barrier / builds the right muscles for the team to understand what they should / shouldnt depend on?

Some programming languages allow you to split the codebase into modular units (npm workspaces, cargo workspaces, etc..) which forces developers to modularize things, and dependencies between modules need to be explicitly declared.

This is good, but usually not enough, as nothing prevents you to mess things up within a module/workspace.

There's some other tooling with similar functionality to dep-tree, but language-specific and with visualizations not suitable for large codebases (.dot files, 2d svgs...)

It's interesting to think about how this situation will evolve as "AI girlfriend" software (and underlying ML models) improves. Perhaps along with next generation consumer hardware.

If there is a good chance that any popular "online personality" of that sort will be an AI, then I might as well skip a step and just install my "girlfriend" locally.

Also, systems like Stable Diffusion or other similar models like instant-id can generate imagery of any "personality" for any desired situation at will. I think personalities will have trouble suing everyone who is doing that on their own computer. Or ever knowing how many are doing it.

I think there are actually already somewhat convincing versions of this. At least on a surface level. (Sometimes I suspect that r/localllama could be called r/localwaifu and it would be mostly accurate). Just haven't investigated thoroughly. Could be an interesting weekend project.

I was doing an interview for a project where someone wanted to build a more "empathetic" AI. Not necessarily a girlfriend, maybe more useful (but perhaps not necessarily not a girlfriend). He had someone from BlackRock on the call with him. Which I think was just his buddy from college and that was a coincidence. Probably. But it's hard not to think that sort of thing as being a profitable investment.

Now, of course I pay for that healthcare one way or another anyway, whether I'm involved in the accident or not. Which is why there are seatbelt laws, 0.02 percent alcohol limits and drivers licenses requiring $1000 or more in driving lessons.

Its not that its not practical as much as it is actively counterproductive to progress since the minimum effective size in many sectors is larger than that so you would end up force liquidating founders out of companies they start, which is a bad thing in for progress in mlst cases. You want quality founders to ma*ntain control and grow a business up to the point it starts abusing market power rather than innovating and that is often far beyond 15 mm valuation. Tje real problem is the market power and that is when heavy regulation and breakup should set in, not at some arbitrarily low asset limit.
