I'm not even vegetarian, much less a vegan. But it's not honest to draw a false equivalence between salad and meat.

> Let’s not pretend that it’s not a well earned reputation.

It's not.

Judging a group by their loudest and most obnoxious members is lazy and intellectually dishonest; even if it happens all the time.

Most vegans I know are placid and kind. I'd have to say that meat eaters are far more obnoxious about vegans than vice versa.

Same as the people I know who complain about the 'stoner lifestyle' and think that this justifies prohibition. They're far more irritating to me than the average cannabis enthusiast, most of whom you wouldn't know from looking at them, and most of whom don't make cannabis their personality.

Deep down, us meat eaters know that we're eating an animal that had feelings like ours (or we're ignorant). And, we know that the Western diet is contributing to deforestation and a burning planet (again, or we're willfully ignorant).

Attacking vegans is like attacking a cyclist for believing in climate change, because a few cyclists had the audacity to suggest we use the car less or fund public transport. Popular - but lame.

There were remote jobs pre-pandemic. The pandemic showed many companies that remote can work and now gives them an advantage in hiring. Some companies will force RTO, but they'll have to pay for that privilege.

I've always joked that I like solving problems, I like coding, and I like computers. I do that mostly for 'free' (it's a play on an NFL player who joked he gets paid for Tues. through Sat. Sundays he does for free). What I get paid for is all the other BS I have deal with, which can be significant. Going to an office used to cost $ and now it'll cost $$$. Fill in the numbers for yourself.

Where I think people will struggle is they want to work wherever, while also having a maximal career trajectory and making maximal salary. IMO, that's always been a challenge and remote/RTO has magnified that choice.

Best hypothesis so far.
I don't mind some people thinking 1 is more readable than 2

1fruit = ["apples","oranges","bananas"]

2fruit = [apples oranges bananas]

was only talking about commas being required like semicolons since multiple statements use space within, so need something else unlike lists, so it's not comparable
I would rather avoid Vegas all year long.
At this point working from home has become some kind of weird religion that refuses to accept the truth.
Yeah, I run mint/xfce on my linux (virtual) machine. But it doesn't always work perfectly with GUI applications that don't believe in, or don't care about, anyone who's not on the "shiny new thing" branch. Like, you can run both GNOME2 and GNOME3 applications in the same desktop and the title bars are usually fine (that's the wm after all) but the controls might not look the same.
I suspect the licensing played a role in it, actually. With Linux being GPL, no single vendor could - in theory at least - take the code and make a proprietary fork. It became a neutral ground, so to speak, where corporate contributors could cooperate.

Plus the lawsuit from AT&T came at a critical time, and of course pure chance played into it as well - Linus has stated that he was unaware of the BSD projects when he started Linux, and that if he had known, he probably would not have bothered with writing his own kernel.
They can be replaced
> You're a software glitch away from an accident

Software or hardware glitch. Or power glitch.

R1 runs an RTOS, though, passthrough continues to run even if the main processor (the M2) completely crashes. So it already seems to try to fail safe. I can't imagine that's by accident. Maybe it's not that they're going to use the Vision Pro in these situations, but that maybe they might use the R1 or a future generation of it for their self-driving cars.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will consider adding this as a feature in a future version.
The survey was preceded by an “emergency collection of data request.”
A six-month energy consumption evaluation of selected U.S.-based miners will start this week.
Bitcoin mining is being examined more closely by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This week marks the beginning of a six-month energy consumption evaluation of selected U.S.-based miners by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The EIA is a statistics department under the Department of Energy (DOE). The survey was preceded by an “emergency collection of data request.”

The current administration’s crypto-critical tone and the wording of the “emergency” order have many concerned that the data gathered might be utilized to craft regulations that hurt the mining business. Crypto mining for data collection might cause “public harm,” according to the EIA’s public filing.
Its slime is only local for now. Nrepl is something that I might work on this year.

Following this logic, don't trust your grandma's router to have UPnP and NAT-PMP disabled by default too. NAT becomes effectively unsecure with them.

This argument is so overused we might as well add it to ipv6-excuses.txt.
I know it but only because they didn't require phone confirmation for email accounts so it was great for sockpuppets.

I've asked around here to my colleagues and none of them have ever heard of it. One of them asked if it's the same as baidu :)
> it would not surprise me for other corporate to also cancel "low paying customers" for "high paying customers"

At least going by all the entrepreneurship articles I've read over the decade, "firing your customers" is a term of art, and a recommended approach for dealing with unprofitable and/or annoying customers - so I guess this shouldn't be surprising.

> Loyalty is beyond dead so cancelling a contract is just a cost of business if they feel the alternative gives more money.

Not to be TOO snarky, but that's kind of the point of contracts - contract cancellation terms aren't an "or else..." threat, but rather an agreed upon exit strategy. Termination fines aren't punishment, they're compensation for inconvenience.

I think GP means less management in the sense that you give them guidelines and goals, and then let them do their thing. Of course you should remove impediments and in general make it such that they are distracted less. But less performing IC often needs to be managed much more. They need guidance selecting work, they need guidance to help prioritising, estimating, structuring, and taking important things into account. Dependable top performancers rarely need that.

I was working from home long before the pandemic. I definitely don’t worship it but I do love having time with my kids and surfing before work instead of commuting. I still get my job done and employers seem to be pretty happy with me and my friends who are like me.

What is the truth you speak of?
There's a lot of "after the fact" discussion about the dropping of the two nuclear weapons.

It was always a given that they would be dropped - developed for use on Germany, completed after the German surrender .. where else could the then DoD live field test the two "actual bomb" designs that resulted from the single most expensive R&D program in the world to date?

The US President was only recently made President and prior to that had no knowledge of the programme not being on the need to know list .. Japan was being carpet bombed, with 72 cities already completely destroyed there was a looming shortage of "clean" untouched test sites .. that were going to be destroyed with or without atomic weapons.

It's a subject with a wealth of viewpoints, you might, if you've not seen it already, like a historians helicopter view of the range of positions taken and the movement toward a post factum consensus view many years later (2013 IIRC)

Do they even stream 1080p to Linux devices by default now? I always had to use a browser extension to make it do that[1].

Nobody said anything about SMS
Or the seemingly crumbling infrastructure, airports that make me feel I'm traveling back to the 90s, metro systems that are filthier and noisier than almost any other I've ever taken (even the ones in developing countries). You being bombarded by ads everywhere, and for bizarre/dystopian products (like healthcare or medicine), payday loans, lawyers. It makes me icky to travel in the US.

I agree with you, there's a hollowness in American urbanscapes that's hard to put a finger on. Even bustling areas in SF or NYC feel... Decadent?

There were remote companies before COVID and there will be remote companies after everyone RTO.

It's just that you trade off other things, whether pay or interesting work. Culture was generally ok in remote places, which makes sense considering they already picked remote working.
Unless you happen to have an fTPM that is permanently vulnerable to such attacks: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/a...
Does it matter? Every HTTP version from HTTP/1 to HTTP/3 has each experienced its own set of vulnerabilities.

Never stopped us from using HTTP.

IPv4 has had multiple vulnerabilities in its stack as well, never stopped the internet from growing. (But the exhaustion of IPv4 _is_ hindering further expansion of the internet!)
It's a bit like when I delete the movie torrent to free up some disk space.

> Any halfway-competent engineering manager knows she should spend more of her time with her top people, because anything she can do to improve their performance is that much more impactful for the business.

I guess the point is that to improve their performance the best managers can do is "get out of their way", not "spend more of her time" with them.

The movie was based in large part on the book "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer"

Which is a life of the man, as you say.

The main difference from the movie is that, aside from being much more lengthy, as book vs. movie always is, it dwells more on pre-WW2 California leftist politics. Whereas the downfall of Lewis Strauss gets only a brief mention.

And of course it covers the life of J R Oppenheimer from birth to death in detail, in parts exhaustive detail.
Why yes. Because SMS isn't good enough, the sekhurity industry decided everyone needs to use apps instead, since they can communicate over SSL and are harder to spoof, and then threw in remote attestastion for extra sekhurity.
tl;dr

Elon Musk’s habit of hyping a new technology, even when he is not a leader in the field, has long irked rivals. It was on full display this week when he wrote that Neuralink had succeeded in implanting an electrode into a human brain for the first time.

Similar implants have been a staple of science labs for years. At least three rival start-ups have succeeded in inserting electrodes and using them to collect and interpret human brain signals. But, while Musk’s claims bring a shrug of resignation from rivals, they also draw grudging acknowledgment that his attention grabbing has helped to propel the field.

“Are they [Neuralink] ahead? No. Is their technology unique? No, none of what I have seen is novel,” Vanhoestenberghe said — though she credited Musk’s company with being “very advanced” and “state of the art” in the field.
My smartphone has replaced things that I used to carry. It is a tool. And as a bonus, I can pass time while waiting - doctors office, etc - which makes me more pleasant.

My smartphone functions as a watch, notetaking device, and communication device. I rarely get lost now that I almost always have a map. It is a music device, which is really helpful considering I walk and take busses for most of my transportation.

The sole reason I've not had to carry around a wordbook is because I have a translation app on my phone.

It is much easier to choose to not carry a purse or bag, which sometimes makes me safer.

Not to mention that I have internet on my phone, which is better than phone books ever were. Looking stuff up saves money and time if you use it correctly.

You shouldn't expect folks to talk to you at the grocery store: That wasn't exactly a universal thing everywhere. Seems like this is just you missing something that others don't - and not everyone needs this stuff to fill their social interaction quotas.
Not OP but

> And what do you do if you run out of batteries?

My battery lasts 2 days. If I'm away for a night I pack a charger along with my toothbrush and clothes. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I was caught off guard by this.

> Or lose the phone?

Short term - same as if I lose my keys or my wallet. It's a giant pain in the ass. longer term, doesn't matter, new phone + restore from backup. I don't need to phone my bank and cancel my cards, or change the locks on my doors in case my keys were pickpocketed and I'm targeted.

> Or it gets wet and won't turn on?

Many smartphones have been ip68 rated for the best part of a decade. Note that to not turn on, you're realistically talking about submerging it, not just being out in the rain. Maybe I live a more sheltered life than you, but finding myself unexpectedly submerged is about as extreme a situation as I'm going to find myself in, and not one I plan for other than being able to swim.
Can speak from personal experience: This seems true.
I observed management following trends (both technology and HR) from the valley.

One manager even said (while roaming the empty hallways on a a day where not many teams have their team-office-day and also during lunch time):

"People should come back to the office. I've visited facebook (sic) not long ago and there were so many people at their desks, being busy working. Such an inspiring environment"

This is the level of competence we have to deal with.

edit: Oh I forgot to add: They explicitly don't seem to follow the trends of paying salaries in the ranges of hundreds of thousands of dollars or making offices attractive like providing free food/snacks and other amenities.
Because it works well on the Amiga.

Linux used to be the best option, but it got extremely slow, and recently even retired PCMCIA support, which is how most A1200 users access ethernet or wifi networks.

Whereas Openbsd dropped m68k support ages ago.
The Yandex brand is only directly used in the Russian market, I think? The company does also have popular products abroad like the discount taxi app Yango, but you need to connect the dots there. (I suppose they intentionally try to brand these products away from Yandex to reduce the impact of the Russian connection.)

Regional sites and apps in general aren’t that well known. How many people on HN are familiar with Kaspi, the “WeChat of Kazakhstan”? Apparently it’s immensely popular there and completely unknown elsewhere. Like Kazakhstan, Russia isn’t a significant market globally.
Not sure that's true, actually. The usual strategy appears to be to comp the gambler with generous stays at the casino they're a patron of, with the expectation that they'll dump their winnings back in the next day.

Taken with a grain of salt, as my only knowledge of this is via Hollywood movies. It does make sense from a game theory perspective though.
That's awesome. USB Gadget mode has always been a favorite of mine because you can do cool stuff by pretending to be a device like that.
Probably not what you're looking for, but I put together a demo of actually cross-compiling a wheel the other day: https://github.com/jvolkman/bazel-pycross-zstandard-example

But if you just mean that you want to gather the dependencies for a platform other than your build host: this should be possible with the help of Poetry and PDM since they both perform cross-platform resolution.
It's better to activate the virtualenv properly:

Terrible reasoning. If the article has truly proven them right, GitHub will have not experimented with enabling IPv6 in the first place.
I find it interesting that Vanguard is more bearish on US/EU economies than the rest of the street but are actually a bit more bullish when it comes to China. Maybe something to do with the Chinese having a lower interest rate?

That being said, the interest rate will depend on the state of the wars going on right now. The conflicts could pressure the prices of energy up which will lead to higher inflation and as a result keep interest rates high. The current situation is more of a geopolitical task than an economical one.
Ok it jams sonar, but you don't need sonar if the target is making a noise, you just listen, don't you?

There are only two types of people: those that believe they can outsmart the house, and those that never gamble.
What I am puzzled about is companies that are sending mixed messages. On one side they want people to return to the office because people are just more productive. On the other hand they want to save on office real estate so are not providing enough desks for everyone to be in the office, mandatory hot desking (so you can't customize your desk or leave anything at the office), and so making it unpalatable to work in the office. And they want people to come on different days of the week, which negates one of the principal benefit of an office: seamless access to people / informal conversations.
The language of addiction is psychological language that may leave people feeling hopeless, particularly if they view themselves as biologically-chemically determinative beings.

Perhaps the language of idolatry as used in the Bible (reflecting thousands of years in the Jewish and Christian traditions) may be more helpful. What many see as addictions may in fact be an underlying spiritual condition of serving something as an idol, or a God-substitute. The only way to break that is repentance, turning from the idolatry to the living God. But this gives hope, because as people we are able to do exactly that.

We are more that a bag of matter and energy. We can exercise responsibility over our actions.

The doctrine if sin and the language if idolatry actually can give hope, as the possibility of repentance and belief is always there.
It's like Zuckerberg choosing to leave to Singapore and stay there in case a war in Taiwan breaks up, while ideologically aligning with China, of course, I'm not so sure that in that scenario his US-based assets will remain intact.
I personally think streaming services are overestimating that the 2k or 4k streams that they offer is a huge advantage they have over "pirate services". I don't think they have properly researched the consumer psychology or the network effect that is making piracy popular among a large segment of the middle-class and lower strata.

An hour long 30 Mbps 4k HDR+ video file will be roughly around 10-15+ GB with H.265 encoding.

As others have pointed out, a well encoded 720p or 1080p video offers a decent enough viewing experience quickly at far, far smaller sizes than a 2k or 4k videos (file sizes will be 10 to 20 times smaller at these resolutions). Note also that some pirates encode videos with the CPU, than using hardware encoders, and thus these videos tend to have a higher quality with better compression (hardware encoders, while blazing fast, tend to do a poorer job than CPU video encoding). Thus, these smaller sized video files don't require high-speed internet, can be downloaded fast and also encourages people to save the videos longer. This allows some to create their own personal video library. So a side effect of this is that people store and share these videos longer, and their smaller sizes now allow streaming torrents of popular content. Some torrent sites today have even started offering this through the browser itself - so non-techies now don't even have to download any torrent software and learn how to use it. That's near-Netflix like convenience, with more content, for "free" - and that's what these services are up against.

We also can't ignore that 4k videos are often only available at higher tier subscription plan. So even if Netflix, or other streaming services, think that some of these people can be enticed to subscribe to their services, with their high quality 2k or 4k videos, they will have to offer them at a lower price to beat the "free" model of piracy. (It's very hard to compete with "free" - just look at Google search engine's market share and its non-free competitors' market share to understand this).

All this is of course irrespective of the fact that 2k and 4k resolution HDR+ videos are also increasingly available now a days on torrents too.
And they are awful, a significant number do not detect my (old) car, let alone pedestrians, cyclists and horses
I personally think it does matter, I use it often to find things that I can't find on Google. I was actually just thinking today how many thing I've been able to find using Yandex that I couldn't find using Google and that in some ways, I almost prefer it as a search engine lately.

WebAssembly can be used to reuse logic between web, mobile and desktop apps. For example you can write your core logic once in Rust and then make a native UI for different platforms. We've used this approach for Koofr Vault [1] (client side encrypted cloud storage) and we couldn't be happier. Rust for core logic, React for web and desktop apps (with Tauri), SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android.

“They” being the employer/job or employee? Both are true. Replacing an employee does have a cost to the business. Especially for higher level top performers.
