Yes, it’s because they drive the heck out of the LEDs to get their maximum rated light output. This produces excessive heat, shortening the lifespan of everything inside the case, including the very cheap electronics they use to rectify mains AC.

In Dubai they actually have efficient and long-lasting LED lights [1]. These exist in order to satisfy strict government regulation there. They’re not sold anywhere else because they’re more expensive to make (more LEDs per bulb running at lower output).

IANAL but I would have a lawyer send a letter to their CEO.
Thanks for the pointer, will take a look at it. I don't believe these things become "outdated" unless you are a bleeding edge practitioner. For most of us "ordinary" Programmers what is needed is breadth over depth and a general idea of what the subject is about so that we are not entirely clueless. Depth will always come when we actually get to work on a project which needs that specific expertise.

If you believe your company has your best interests at heart then you're just a mark waiting to be given some unpleasant news some day soon.

As a manager I've personally saved a few folks over the years from a very arbitrary sacking, and it often comes down to a few VPs scheming in some back room with little or no context on what they're planning, and pure luck that you can get to them before they make any announcements.

I think you would then have to crayon with a pointillist technique in order to achieve additive mixing.

Having said that, the Wikipedia page claims CYMK is subtractive:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

But it shows magnified halftone and it looks like pointillism. The page "Pointillism" says "Pointillism is analogous to the four-color CMYK printing process [...] Televisions and computer monitors use a similar [RGB] technique [...] subtractive mixing of the pigments is avoided."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism

I suspect the CMYK article got it wrong. Or did it? Clearly where CYM overlap we get near-black, not white.

I'm pretty tired of having to argue with leadership about adjusting salaries by inflation. Of course they will begrudgingly eat up increases in other costs due to inflation, but the buck stops with the employees. Keep people that are performing on par or more happy? Naaaah, let's lose internal knowledge and money onboarding a new employee.

I'm tired...

Avogadro's number is for making calculations including weight simpler. If I have x grams of carbon how many grams of oxygen I need to burn it all. And then how many grams of carbon dioxide I end up with.

Value is somewhat arbitrary. And could also be tied to some other isotope. It is really about the ratios between all the elements including their isotopes. Picking carbon and there of isotope C-12, and saying this is exactly 12 grams is not unreasonable selection.
I’ve found the enumer [0] library does the job of generating usable helpers without too much pain or any obvious downsides. The ability to generate JSON [un]marshallers is particularly handy.

Still, the lack of enums and enum/sum types remains by far my biggest gripe about Go.

While I also don’t think that a mouse click handler would be problematic, my recent experience is that more complex apps are more and more often broken under firefox, but still work fine under chrome. E.g. miro boards are unusable under firefox, and it’s absolutely shameful of every company that can’t bother testing it on like 2 browsers.
Gen AI do not understand or think. Full stop.

Is there thinking involved in saying: "2 + 2 = 4"? No. It's a 'fact'. That's how these weights work. It's essentially a very complex SQL query. It's only pulling out what's been put into it (weights).

Thinking and understanding allows for creation of new information from unrelated information, or even nothing at all. It allows for chained comprehension: i.e. "apple fell to the ground, why?" Gen AI cannot derive the concept of gravity from an apple falling without being 'trained' to.
Thankfully most companies in the world aren’t American “at will” employers and don’t have tens of thousands of employees.
It’s not good to keep fixating on how much the cruel executives make. They are employees just like you, and they have similar worries and concerns.
Also, loyalty cuts both ways. Companies will invest more time and energy in employees they know they can count on. You have to decide whether to take that risk or remain suspicious and bitter. Even with all that, both sides have the right to cut ties at any time. Its not so much like a marriage as it is a long time living arrangement.

True, but they are pricey ($25+ USD for an album), and force you to choose between hi-res (24 bit FLAC) and CD quality, instead of purchasing rights to a song and offering MP3 as well.

I have an extensive MP3 collection, favorite albums I try to keep FLAC, while others I'm fine with MP3/320 or for stuff I collect but don't listen to all the time, VBR 256 is fine to keep size small.

depending on your NAS, you might be able to run [0] Logitech Media Server; I still have it running on mine, and use it occasionally - I use it particularly for "play random album" which I have never seen elsewhere, and is great if you have a large collection of ripped music.

I always found the DVD experience to be pretty horrible, with all the region-locking, menu garbage and unskippable nonsense. I never felt like a DVD was something I completely owned.

At least I could (thanks to DeCSS etc) rip the content off and write it to a blank disc to improve the experience... There are probably ways to do the same with Netflix content these days though, I guess.

20-30% per year may (I'm not sure) be better than what AMD and Intel have managed since the M1 came out, but it's definitely not as good as the 40-60% per year improvements that I remember when I was a kid.

I'm anchored on those historical performance gains, so I'm naturally (and, I recognise, unreasonably) disappointed by "only" 20-30% improvements from Apple.
wow good find
I remembered about a paper that sheds light on this issue. An embedding can store/recover exactly a short sentence:

~~I added parallel pushes to docker I think, unless I'm mixing up pulls & pushes, it was a while ago.~~ My stuff was around parallelising the checks not the final pushes.

Edit - does a layer say which layer it goes "on top" of? If so perhaps that's the reason, so the IDs of what's being pointed to exist.
The way traditional artists think and thought about colors is definitely not in the shape of color wheels.

Traditional artists think in terms of palettes and of mixtures of colors on the palette. They also think about colors in relation to each other. They think of layering, and about the perception of the eye.

The point is, when you discuss colors as a multi-dimensional coordinate space, you already lost (from the perspective of the painter).

Painters will explore the medium they are working in for its capabilities. Is "dark on bright" (watercolors) or "bright on dark" (soft pastel) the way to go? Can I dilute and perform washes (watercolor), or will the medium break down (acrylic).

I can only recommend James Guerney's "Color and Light" book to get impressions.

Then again, if you do digital art to scren, or if you are printing things from a computer, you need to anticipate how the devices render your colors. This is where color spaces and coordinate systems for colors and how to translate between them becomes relevant.
Not it hasn't. It is still there and you decided to keep it there.
The best advice in this common mal practice is setting as base law court your jurisdiction; the farer the better.

For instance, I am in Spain and I always signed contracts based in California, etc. Badly done! Next time I will set Madrid, Spain courts as ruling law.

This way you can sue the ass off them and make them pay the money in debt and even some more to the courts.

It's never about the livelihood of those that remain. That's just a side effect.

Hack your brain to remember better
More or less.

Your actual perceived "mood" is generally the "last" thing to change with basically all flavors of traditional antidepressant, since it's more or less your calibration of how much life sucks over time, and it takes a while of noticing it sucks less to recalibrate.

So every doctor I've ever had has given me a very similar lecture about being very cautious, because depression is more or less characterized as having reduced or no ability to actually drive yourself to do things, and then you feel like shit as that keeps happening and your frame of mind goes sour. But conversely, if the antidepressant affects the "underlying" problem, your inability to turn thought into deed, it will take time (and possibly therapy) for you to recalibrate again, and then you have a window of "I want to die, nothing will ever improve", coupled with a newfound ability to successfully turn thought into deed.

It's one reason things like ketamine and psilocybin are seen as wild - when they work, both generally improve at once, so you avoid that problem.
It probably depends on the genre, for metal, almost everything is on bandcamp. The main exceptions are some very old, some very poppy nuclear blast/napalm record stuff, or generally Japanese bands which mostly seem to not care about non-Japanese fans in general.

Well, the web (most common frameworks) doesn’t really have drag’n’drop UI editors. Writing complex widgets for the web had a long list of issues for a long time and only recently became feasible without hacks (they couldn’t be reasonably encapsulated from the rest of the website before shadow DOMs, and better js encapsulation).

As an example, there is no standard, no-one-gets-fired-for choosing complex table widget that can sort, filter, paginate, re-order, etc its rows/columns. Many of them fall just shy of a prod-ready implementation.
Uh, sure.

The opposite is also true: as an employer, you are disposable.

I think, according to the comments I see on HN, it is a bit too much, on both sides. Employees get laid off for no good reason, we already know that part, but many employees don't hesitate to quit when the company needs them the most.

I think the system would benefit from a bit more loyalty, on both sides. You don't have to get married to your employer, but I have the feeling that with a bit more loyalty, both employees and employers could make more beneficial long term plans.
With change in leadership to GenXers and millennials I don't think it's an expectation really.
Why do you even need docker for that?
Just use systemd and cgroups to manage it.
I believe people missed the irony here.
This is why we need labor unions. The power dynamics are almost universally stacked in favor of the employer. Unions can equalize this to an extent. You will still be disposable, but at least you will get better terms if you end up getting disposed of.
That explains a lot though... I have a bit of a qualm with it:

1) the "language support" list both languages as well as runtimes (immediate facepalm)
2) Java is somewhat popular I'd say... not supporting it but having support for things like racket is even weirder...

All in all, zed makes even less sense…
Unfortunately that will probably not do you much good. If the company is based outside of Spain all the Spanish courts can do is take their assets located in Spain which is probably nothing.

It's not that black and white. The relationship between employer and employee should be far more symbiotic than what Gurner states. Both should benefit equally from the system. That is no longer the case.
I am currently on my third client in last 4 years from HN who wants to be hired thread. One very good client, stayed 18 months with them, significant equity appreciation until now; a very bad “deadbeat” client who still owes me $8K in back wages (6 months overdue); and my current client of 4 months, so far so good.

One thing I learnt is to request HN username and review their post history, and consider suspicious the ones who claim not having one or not participating in HN discussions.

Management mandated family with "living at work"? Run.

Normal work schedule with grunt employees doing not mandated stuff together once in a while after work? Okay, that's nice, but you should still have a social group that's not (only) coworkers.

Huge difference.
Layers are fully independent of each other in the OCI spec (which makes them reusable). They are wired together through a separate manifest file that lists the layers of a specific image.

It's a mystery... Here are the bits of the OCI spec about multipart pushes (https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/blob/58d...). In short, you can only upload the next chunk after the previous one finishes, because you need to use information from the response's headers.
Alternatively, it's just entertainment and movie DRM is at worst annoying and counterproductive.

In X years time when humanity is struggling to rebuild civilisation in a radioactive wasteland I don't think the main problem will be the inability to find a copy of "Dumb And Dumber To". The real heroes will turn out to have been the contributors to Open Source and Open Access projects - Linux, Wikipedia, etc.

There are better things (often unpaid) developers could be doing than implementing DRM but also much much worse things.
> Russia has built many large aircraft in their Soviet days, but their industrial base has eroded so they probably just don't have the capacity to build competitively-priced aircraft in volume now, plus they're not well-liked by most countries that would want airliners anyway

Russia did design and build a few designs recently - SSJ-100, MS-21, Tu-204/214. Almost all of them used Western parts (such as engines/avionics) to speed the process up because Russian manufacturers are a few decades behind in some critical parts (like engine efficiency). That being said, they're currently trying to ramp up production on a domestic only Tu-204/214 version, but it's slow, probably quite expensive, and super inefficient.

> Japan might be able to do it, but just isn't geared up for building lots of large aircraft so it would be a huge investment to build such an industry almost from scratch.

Mitsubishi had a regional jet design in progress, the SpaceJet, which got cancelled after a few billion in R&D and years in delays.

Ukraine also had decent manufacturing facilities and capabilities with Antonov and Motor Sich, including decent recent designs and subcontracting work for other companies.. but with the war a lot of things were destroyed (like Antonov and Motor Sich factories and facilities), and their focus is mostly on drones and missiles now.

> Fuel efficiency isn't a factor because building an airliner doesn't involve building engines for that airliner, and engines determine an aircraft's fuel economy for the most part. Boeing and Airbus don't make jet engines: those are all made by Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, and GE.

Fuel efficiency is a major factor. Outside of countries big enough to prop up a domestic airliner industry with enough spare cash to compensate for inefficiency (which is a list of 1 country, China), nobody will buy a jet which is less efficient than an alternative. Airline margins are razor thin.

And not everyone can buy an engine from Rolls-Royce, GE/CFM(their joint venture with Safran that designs manufactures short-haul engines and the future open fan design) and Pratt and Whitney. The Russian UAC cannot. The Chinese COMAC got sold a decade+ old variant for their latest jet out of fear of industrial espionage (the Chinese engine manufacturers have failed at producing reliable and efficient jet engines for any application, usually relying on Russian designs).

TL;DR is that modern airliners are extremely complicated, expensive, and have very long lead times. A new design won't be making any money within the first 10-15 years of its life, which means that only countries with very developed and advanced industrial bases, lots of money, and the desire for strategic airliner autonomy will invest in them.
> The opposite is also true: as an employer, you are disposable.

Noone claims otherwise, but the difference is power dynamics and economic output of the state - if the unemployment is super low (like 1-2%) then it's super easy to jump jobs. But in regular, healthy market (3-5% unemployment) employer always have upper hand...
When you deploy your code to AWS lambda or EC2 the code can simply access the appropriate secret stores as dictated by the IAM policy. If you haven't bought into AWS as a whole you're right that there's no good reason to use secret manager.

This requires Linux and an uncommon(?) kernel config/module. Further, it does not seem to offer a facility for modifying traffic.

I use a localhost-bound TLS forward proxy. Works on both BSD and Linux, kernel config is irrelevant. Allows me to easily redirect and modify traffic.

ECH is still lagging in server adoption. After Cloudflare discontinued their ESNI trial I have avoided sites that require SNI, e.g., ones using Cloudflare. What I have found is that most websites on the internet still do not require it. The sites that use a handful of large, popular CDNs are the exceptions. There are numerous workarounds for those, e.g., archive.org needs no SNI. Allows me to access Cloudflare sites without sending SNI.

As for certificate pinning, I do not use closed source "apps".

If corporations MITM their TLS traffic then individuals should do the same.
> Eternal shame on Google for not insisting that Android would follow the "PC model" of the user being root on their own machine and DRM ..

To be fair to Google, banks don't usually allow you to download and generate EMV tokens to perform card transactions on your PC, which places a different set of security requirements (legal requirements too) on Android phones for things like Google Pay to exist.
