> It's a real problem with the kids who maintain Windows today and the "modern" Windows apps. They just don't know, and don't care, what the classical keyboard shortcuts are and how important they can be.

These days (since Windows Vista, hah) the easiest way to rescue an offscreen window is Win+Arrow (the "Aero Snap" keys). (It's also the easiest way to do most of the other old control menu things: Win+Up is Maximize/Restore and Win+Down is Minimize/Restore. The two lacking things are Move when you actually intend to keyboard move and Size for keyboard resizing, though both are less usual at modern resolutions than they used to be.)

If someone has installed PowerToys the likelihood they are using FancyZones increases and so too the likelihood they already use Win+Arrow shortcuts heavily (especially if they let FancyZones take over them for zones).

> Also, 'toast0' left out an important step in their description. You need to press Alt+Space, then M, and then any cursor key, and finally you can use the mouse to move the window.

You need to push a cursor key because Move was originally intended as an accessibility feature when you couldn't Move a window with the mouse (or needed more precision than your mouse supported) and needed to use the keyboard arrows. Also why Size exists in that old menu. If you want to talk about knowing the history of classical keyboard shortcuts, the use of that menu for keyboard accessibility to things instead of the mouse is an important part of why that menu existed in the first place (and part of why it feels so vestigial today because mice have improved so much since the early days of Windows and screen resolutions have grown so much since the early days of Windows that trying to precisely to-the-pixel move or resize windows with the keyboard today seems silly).
So why is our healthcare twice as expensive as the countries who actually do have socialized health care? When is that competition going to kick in and bring down costs?

> This is fine but then don't complain about the adblocker randomly not working and Google implementing measures to prevent adblockers, or actively making you, a non-paying user's experience worse.

I really can't since I never see it. They've been unsuccessful in their efforts to prevent adblocking. I only recently learned through other people's complaining on forums that 45 minute youtube ads exist, so while I'd certainly be complaining if I saw one, they never affect me. I still think it's a dick move to degrade your service with the intention to piss off your users just so that they'll pay you to stop intentionally getting in their way though. Paid services should exist to solve real problems, not ones created by you just to harass people into paying you to stop (you here meaning Google, not you you)

> And arguably if it has been working just fine for them they wouldn't need to keep spending billions and implementing a paid tier.

I've seen nothing to suggest that they need to spend any amount of money implementing a paid tier. Google is one of the largest, wealthiest companies on the planet sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars. They didn't make that obscene amount of money on youtube premium sign ups. Youtube alone pulls in tens of billions in revenue (only a tiny fraction of what Google makes in total) but they keep their profit a secret. I have zero reason to believe that Google couldn't afford to continue to operate and benefit from youtube no matter how profitable it is for them.

> Also your adblocker only prevents client side tracking, nothing is stopping Google (or any other services) from collecting "anonymous" usage data and storing it.

I have no doubt that Google knows exactly who I am even if I never sign in based on the devices I use, the times I use them, the IP address I use, the content I consume, etc and combining that with data they collect from every other Google service. They'll see me search for coffee machines on Google, they'll see me look at reviews for one on youtube, Google analytics will tell them which stores I browse for coffee machines online and Google tracks me via my cell phone while I browse stores looking at coffee machines offline, before finally Google buys my credit card purchase history (https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/05/25/242717/google-no...) to find out where I bought my coffee maker, which model I bought, and how much I paid for it.

They are happily stuffing my dossier with the details of everything I search for, everything I view, what devices I use, when I'm using youtube, how long I spend watching, what my IP address is, how much of each video I view, which parts of each video I rewind to rewatch/pause at/skip past/stop watching at and countless other metrics that they'll use to make countless assumptions about me as an individual (my interests, my intelligence, my attention span, my schedule, my location, my political/religious views, etc).

You can't escape google's tracking. Paying them won't stop them either. The fact that Google has the gall to ask for money on top of all the snooping they do is frankly insulting.
Maybe in the Server version. I haven't seen anything useful in Windows Pro. I could not setup SR-IOV even with Powershell after wasting a lot of time on searching for help.
> Strike the words "over 65" from the medicare bill.

If you mean "universal single-payer", its worth noting that Medicare is very much not single payer and striking the population restriction for Medicare would not produce universal single payer (or even a single comprehensive plan for each individual, unless they are opting for privately-provided, publicly subsidized main insurance -- otherwise hospital [Part A], outpatient [Part B], and prescription drug [Part D] are separate insurance systems, and only the first two are public.)

Medicare is a particularly complicated implementation of partially publicly subsidized private insurance with an (incomplete) public option.
I was in one hospital ER for a kidney stone, but they had no urology available, so they sent me via ambulance ("thankfully", as a paramedic, one of our company benefits was that if we were ever transported, they'd bill our insurance and waive any charges to us) to another hospital. Ambulance crew wheeled me into the ER bay, where a 'transport' gurney from surgery, was waiting, and I slid from one to the other, and was wheeled to pre-op.

At no point did the ER staff ever talk to me. At no point was I in a room. Or in an ER bed, hallway or otherwise. Just ambulance, transport, and then to pre-op.

But, because the transfer physically happened in the ER, that second hospital tried to bill my insurance for an ER visit to the tune of $2,800 which I appealed (successfully, at least).
Back in 2020, my son needed a Covid test for some event related to school. We called his doctor's office and made an appointment for the test. We showed up for the appointment, and we had to wait an extra 20 minutes because the doctor was late, only to be told "we don't do that testing". Then got a bill for $100 for a doctor's appointment.
Am I the only one who hates working from home?

Sure, being able to work from home if you need to is nice, but so is being around other people.

The most I’ve ever learned, the most fun I’ve ever had, the most rewarding and fulfilling things I’ve ever done, they’ve all been when I was around other people.

I’m not trying to say that’s what’s best for everyone but it is for me.

Unnecessarily vague and uncharitable comment but I'll bite.

While I recommend anyone who uses GNU make should read the manual, the manual is full of outdated best practices which can be safely ignored.

If I was going to use this makefile for my own project, I would even drop the clean target entirely. phony targets are mostly a misfeature. Although it looks like the makefile as accepted by the project hasn't marked the all target as phony.

But go on, tell me what it is that is not recommended specifically. I am aware of many deviations from what the GNU make manual claims is recommended. A large portion of deviations is the lack of many of the standard targets it thinks should be provided. Another deviation might be the uppercase OBJS should be lowercase according to the manual, but in this case I was trying to minimize the number of immaterial changes from the original makefile I modified to arrive at this point since it was not my project.
That sucks. I'm excited about a lot of things. I can't imagine COVID really changed that for other people - though I suspect you're right that it did.
Same here. I am surrounded by orchards but it's rare to see a local apple in any of the local supermarkets. We get Argentinian, Tyrolean, etc., but rarely Norwegian.
Is this how the US devolves?

9/11 directly contributed to the massive increase in spying against citizens and illegal activities. The fact that you don't see an issue with this, means just how successful it was in doing so.
You think that is bad. Try working with an attorney, they charge you to read your email and not respond at all.
The desktop situation works a lot better if the mouse is on the left and the numpad is on the right. Everything is in balance.
I'm going to push back on the comment in the article about the build system being overkill. While "tiny" is a relative term, not all projects built for the RP2040 are tiny – my PicoGUS project relies on several external libraries and being able to bring them in via CMake is pretty great. Also while the Pico itself is fixed hardware, the SDK targets many other boards built on the RP2040. The Raspberry Pi team definitely have things architected for future versions of the microcontroller as well as on-host testing of the SDK.
>>relationships have a bargaining element?

Yes, generally understood to be true in psychology.

>>if we forgive, we fear it devalues or weakens our bargaining power

I can’t argue your personal experience, but I don’t think this one is major theory or something generally accepted to be true about forgiveness.

>>Why else are we so tempted in a debate to rejoin with “yeah, well you do <wrong thing> too

Because “whataboutism” is just a logical fallacy that people use as a common defensive tactic, but it’s not inherent to forgiveness.
My recent ER visit charged $5000 to walk in the door, without even accounting for any actual care.
The American healthcare "system" is dysfunctional because parties who profit from the status quo keep the public bickering about inflammatory issues and distracted from making meaningful change. (My favorite example is "death panels".)

Since the American system doesn't allow people who can't pay for emergency care to die the system ends having a socialist component. Socialism is such a hot-button issue that we can't have mature conversation about funding it. Almost any conversation about it gets caught-up in partisan and "personal responsibility" bickering.

It would be easier if we just let people who can't pay die.

That's repugnant and wrong, but it would certainly make the conversation easier.
Morale at Microsoft is apparently in the toilet these days, after they had their most profitable year ever (as told to their investors), but then turned around and lied to their employees saying its had been a tough year so no-one gets raises.

No wonder more than 1/2 of their employees want to leave:

I like odroid H2/H3 SBCs[0] - they have much less compute power, but support large memory (DDR4 up to 64G), SSD/NVME, dual on-board nics (up to 2.5Gbps), X86 based and just sip on power (2 watts idle, 15w stress, 18w cpu+gpu stress).

But in the client is the only time their code touches the actual unencrypted message data.

Also a lot of the data you mentioned will also not be available if you don’t use their client, eg: if you use Signal client then Facebook won’t get your location all as that’s not part of regular text message

Are they inefficient?

They feel that way because you know where your local maximum is. But that isn't the maximum for a whole organization.

If the people on the factory floor have to show up for work every day why should you get to stay home? If the business you're in has lots of gray legal risk, working from home means more things in writing. There are good interactions that can happen in bullpens and hallway and (I hate that I'm using this word) synergy from overheard conversations.

I don't think the office as it was (open floor plan) helped any one. I don't think that we all need to go in all the time. There is a happy medium that would give us "the best of all worlds" and we should be looking for that!
The source cited by the article (https://bitcointreasuries.net/entities/48) is not a government website.

While I believe it's ok for my government to invest public funds in assets with different risk profiles. I would like to see an official website and an audited financial report.

This is not a far-fetched requirement for El Salvador, where a corporation with just $2000 in equity has to submit a yearly audited balance sheet for public record. Or even small town credit unions with assets a fraction of the bitcoin funds have to publish full reports online.
> It feels like everything is noticeably more expensive now than in 2019

Yup. The BLS suggests about a 20-25% increase on food between 2019 and 2022, and that's backed up by independent estimates. That said, we've seen much larger spikes in the past; in the 1970s you can see spikes in that ballpark in one year. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=1hsGr

> Finding a job seems way tougher now, too, even though they're claiming a 3.7% unemployment rate.

Maybe in tech (chiefly on the more junior or on the more support-ish side, from what I can tell), but that doesn't mean that "they" are describing something incorrectly--just that perhaps you're on the wrong side of an average.

I mostly run in circles that are of not-tech-people, and while the jobs may suck, I get the feeling that finding them is not the hard part right now.
> All of these things actually were already standardized in a single, predictable way, just that they were done by apple.

If there is only one company, it's not a standard - it's a monopoly.

> They should be forcing apple and Google as app stores to abide by a single set of guidelines

They are. It's just that what Apple does simply won't fit in those guidelines.

> but the implementation therein should be left to those companies.

It is. The DMA doesn't tell Apple how to run their servers or what APIs to allow. It just tells everyone, including Apple, that some behaviors in the market are ok and some are not. It just so happens that Apple falls in the not-ok bin.

> Google allows multiple app stores, great. Apple doesn't want to. That should also be fine.

According to whom, you?

The fact is that European society, as represented in the EU Parliament, EU Council, and EU Commission, determined that such behavior is NOT fine in the market. It strangles competition to Apple in the digital-services arena and effectively allows them to extract rent from the whole industry. Hence, Apple should stop what they are doing or face consequences. This is a side-effect of issuing guidelines for acceptable behavior in the digital marketplace.

If you don't like the directive, go vote for some party in European elections (hey, this year) and national elections (possibly this year, depending on the country) to change it. If you're not in Europe, well, you are not affected by the directive, so you don't really get a say about it.
It's a general principle that the ToS has to conform to the law.

(In other works the rules of DMA preempt whatever rules are in the ToS.

If the law explicitly says that parties can agree to opt-out of specific rules, then the ToS can say - in those specific questions - something different. More/less strict, better for one or the other party, etc.)

As linked by `johnnyanmac`, the DMA summary site explicitly says that gatekeepers have to allow 3rd parties to inter-operate with their services.
I think the ridiculous thing here is not the doctor charging but that all insurance doesn't cover it.

I bet there are a ton of consultants and lawyers (and maybe some accountants) on HN and most of them will charge you for time spent replying to emails.

You're right. I never said it was an unbiased perspective, so let me make it clear. The post was intended to help those who were like me. When I wrote the post, I wrote it as if I was speaking to my past self in a style that would have motivated my younger self; nothing more, nothing less.
I had a similar thought about the IKEA KIVIK sofa (non-sleeper variants), which has wide boxy armrests that are open to the underside, and could fit towers of little SFF PCs, or maybe rackmount gear sideways. There's also space underneath the seat, where rackmount gear could fit.

One of the reasons I didn't do this was I didn't want a fire with sofa fuel right above/around it. I wasn't concerned about the servers, but a bit about the UPS. Sheet metal lining of the area, with good venting if the UPS battery type could leak gases, I'd feel a bit better about, but too much work. So the gear ended up away from upholstery, in rack/shelving, where I could keep an eye on it.
Bell was a government-granted monopoly. It was literally illegal to connect a 3rd party telephone to their network. Of course you need government intervention to fix a government-created mess.
For context, I'm something of an absolutist about arms and self defense; I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've been completely disarmed in the past decade.

That said, I also strive to be as introspective as possible and enjoy challenging my own biases.

> I am curious if carrying at all on average has a negative or positive expected value.

I've read studies showing both positive and negative net value, so it's not exactly clear from a data standpoint.

Anecdotally, I'd say it's highly dependent upon the person. I tend to avoid situations with the potential for escalation, and see the use of a firearm (to include brandishing, or even implying to the other party that I am armed) as an absolute last resort. In my mind, there is exactly one reason to employ a firearm against a person: to defend human life in a situation where deadly force has already been introduced by a hostile party.

I argue that someone who is predisposed to seeing a firearm as a means to force their will on others is going to be the type of person who would do so anyhow, and who is accustomed to being able to do so due to their physical stature relative to the people around them. They are also not the type to carry whether or not their actions are legal or ethical.

On the other hand, the type of person that buys a gun, trains to some degree, and spends the time and money to learn to be comfortable carrying it in public is not interested in hurting anyone.

> I wonder how many times it unnecessarily escalates a situation and causes additional harm to the carrier.

I'm 100% certain that it happens. The real world is chaotic, and outcomes aren't clear. Every action you take - and every time you choose inaction - is a roll of the dice. You can't know the outcome with certainty beforehand, and you can't know the outcome after the fact if you had made different decisions.

To put it in D&D terms, someone threatening you with a knife has rolled a d6, with the stakes being your life. Drawing a firearm on that person is like rolling a d20 with those same stakes. It's absolutely not a guarantee of the outcome you wnat - but it heavily influences the odds.

> My gut feel is carrying is negative on average, with enough positive anecdotes to make it seem good.

I can think of a few circumstances where a rational person with a firearm could end up in a situation worse than if they did not have it. I can think of more (but still not many) where it could improve things.

The vast majority of the time, the other person is never aware of its presence. The fact that you, as the carrier, are aware tends to cause you to recognize situations for what they really are. That influences your thinking about it.

I would never, under any circumstances, "fight" someone while carrying. I'm a 6'2" guy who is at least moderately capable of defending myself, but the only way someone would be able to get me to employ force is if they leave no other option available to me.

In my experience, this is the way the _vast_ majority of people who carry firearms for defense think about things.

They make billions in revenue off of youtube. Where did you see that they're losing money on it? I suspect that even if youtube was not profitable on its own it'd still be valuable enough for google to continue running it and that they can more than afford to keep the light on.
