I’ve been daily driving popos for about 5 years. I’m not an admin by any stretch and it’s worked great. Upgrades and everything mostly flawless. I came from a 13” MacBook Pro (2015), it took a little adjustment but it’s been great overall. The good thing about POP is that we’ve found ububtu software works on it.

We ended up installing popos on our work Linux (Ubuntu)dell because we had trouble installing the nvidia drivers for the card we got.

I had one hiccup 4 years ago where it wouldn’t upgrade to the next version because I did some out of band install. (It was a usb to hdmi adapter…)
It was a little to get it sorted but I never ended up with a unbootable system..

I don’t like the PopOS name though..

I didn't use the word "stagnation," and "recession" has a core definition that is pretty broadly accepted[1]. I have no opinion on whether or not the recent dip merits a recession, but it is not enough to define one on its own.

The other word used was "crisis," and my criticism is that the word is broad and never defined.

My usage of the word "sell" is more similar to "persuade" and is a valid definition[2].

It seems in the context of your story the old adage that organizations reproduce software in their own architecture again rings true, with multilayered bureaucracy, lies and promises resulting in "client state".
Good post-mortems should provide ammo and action items to review existing business processes. If you don't have an advocate in your engineering organization who is working across departments to improve these processes, that may be a sign of organizational immaturity or dysfunction. No organizational function happens in a vacuum, and in the right company, collaboration can help influence the things that engineering doesn't directly control.
I think a good baseline is just include indexes for foreign key relationships and then adjust from there.

Also, if anyone reading this is using SQL Sever, do not use the recommended missing indexes it provides. They have a whole host of issues, including the ordering of columns and straight up recommend completely unnecessary indexes.
The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically in the United States over the years. I find it hard to believe the average level of self control has fallen that much in so few generations. It's more likely to be a systemic problem, which is better solved collectively.
I use a vibrating alarm on my cell phone under my pillow (off to the side, not directly under my head).

I sleep with both earplugs and a white noise machine, so an audio-based alarm can't work for me. (City living! the garbage trucks come for some house on the block on every weeknight.)

I still have traumatic memories of my radio-alarm-tuned-to-static waking me up for high school, and when the garbage trucks used to wake me up before I started with earplugs and noise machine, I'd wake up with a jolt of adrenaline, so I relate to your "gunshot" comment. The vibrating alarm doesn't trigger that for me.

Sometimes the issues can come down to miscommunication, which I've found is well addressed by adopting a format for your PR comments to eliminate the ambiguity on what is blocking, what is an optional suggestion, what is a genuine question, etc., such as:

C'mon Adobe. Release CC for Linux. Bless a DE or ship your own. Linux's market share will only increase and your suite should be pretty platform abstracted by now, anyway.
That'll be the "next big thing" they'll gushing about on stage: an incredible new mouse with TWO (2!) buttons! Of course, it'll be a $600 upgrade...

Show HN: GPS and GPT Powered Travel Guide App – GuideToGo
Hello HN,

## Introducing GuideToGo

GuideToGo is an AI-powered audio guide app that brings the world to your fingertips. With a database of over 1.2 million locations worldwide, it provides detailed information and answers your questions in real-time. It's like having a personal tour guide in your pocket, tailored to your unique travel needs and preferences.

GuideToGo is available for free for both iOS (https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6503728729?pt=12707...) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.guidetogo....).

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me as I continue to improve and enhance GuideToGo. I would love it if you could please try it out and share your thoughts.

For those curious about the tech stack, the client was built using React Native with Expo, and Elixir powers the backend.

## Why?

For the last 10+ years, my family generally travels for a month every year. Being a curious family, we love learning about the places we visit, so we often use tour guides. However, almost every time we encountered several issues:

- Unanswered questions due to rushed schedules
- Inability to explore at our own pace
- High costs (tour guides often charge $15 per person on average, which adds up quickly for a family of four)

Determined to find a better solution before our trip to the UK and Mediterranean early this year, I couldn't find any existing apps that met our needs. This inspired me to develop GuideToGo to address these common travel pain points.

## About Me

I've worked in the software industry for the last 20 years, starting as an intern web developer in college and rising to roles like Staff Engineer, Manager, and eventually senior engineering leadership at top companies like ServiceNow and ServiceTitan (VP, Engineering). Along the way, I also founded and successfully exited two startups.

This year in April, I decided to take a break from my day-to-day job to explore the world and recharge for the next chapter of my life and career. Feel free to reach out to me over LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/munjalapatel) or X (https://x.com/munjalapatel).

Thank you for your time, and happy travels!

Best,
Munjal A Patel
It doesn't mean your code is NOT being uploaded somewhere. They could add an easy switch to use the editor 'offline', not that they have to. I'll go back to Helix.

I cannot even remember the last time I plugged in a web cam and it didn't work on Linux. Just yesterday I borrowed a USB inspection camera from a friend in order to help me run a new ethernet line to my shop. The kit came with a "WIFI dongle" that you are supposed to use with your phone and some random app, but instead I just plugged it into my laptop, fired up Cheese and it came up immediately.
This comment is a bit odd to me since I don't think those basic things you mention have been difficult to get working on most distros for quite a while now.
Linux is getting better all the time and Windows is getting worse all the time. We'll definitely make it to 5% eventually.

Ethereum is a strict improvement on Bitcoin in nearly every way. Proof of Stake is a much better consensus mechanism all-around. Smart contracts allow for way more use-cases than just money transfer. The account model is much simpler and more intuitive than UTXO. The block time is considerably faster and finality is guaranteed.
I used Linux first as a 14 year old kid in the 90s who found Win$ows to become slow overtime and we couldn't afford a new computer. Fell in love with Linux instantly given the customization and efficiency. Not needing things like an AntiVirus was huge. I haven't looked back at all and its likely what drove me into CS. Sometimes constraints are a good thing. We had a few courses in Undergrad (outdated of course) that required students to run things like LAMP server and GCC and there was a good culture of running Ubuntu and other distros. I would have done 30+ installs for my classmates and ran into all sorts of issues with laptop drivers, overheating etc. Things are probably better on that front now with compatible hardware, (I only buy linux compatible hardware so I'm not sure).I really wish to see more widespread adoption especially in developing countries.
The "alive" point hits the nail on the head for me, and covers the full system health spectrum - my underspec'd homelab/project laptop certainly feels alive, in the sense that only things that are alive can cough up blood.
Bought $2k laptop Acer Predator Helios Neo 16. Windows 11 doesn't install at all (can't see the hard drive). Win10 installed but touchpad doesn't work (even after drivers install), network didn't work (neither ethernet nor wifi) without external USB stick, and so on. After internet connection and installing all updates touchpad and dynamics still don't work.

Pop OS works near-perfectly.

I more generously conclude that they are simply being influenced by bad-faith commentators who appeal to the desire to seem smart, while the victims are also unwilling to take the time to look at primary sources. It is superficially true that the gross labor force participation rate is falling, and it is easy for shadowstats grifters to point that out. They are hoping you won't notice that this is caused entirely by Boomers retiring.
I love the existence of both this and https://blogtrottr.com/.
It’s big, particularly the second point. I fix typos and obvious mistakes while reading the code and I leave „feel free to punt” on any comment which shouldn’t block release.

Still, bikeshedding occurs but to a lesser degree and over more substantial issues, like overall module design.
Asking questions is often the best part of review IME, at least when the overall review culture is healthy and productive. If nothing else, it’s often a good opportunity to add clarifying comments where something isn’t obvious after it was written. And authors receptive to good review, again IME, often agree that added clarity will help those cases.

“Why did you solve it this way?” is also an excellent question in that context. Not for the big “overall approach”, where the common refrain is that design should come before implementation. But sometimes it helps surface smaller areas of complexity that only become obvious in the trenches, and it can be incredibly helpful to socialize those once discovered. (Also often prompting addition of clarifying comments.)
Windows is shipping with its own Linux already, so it's getting harder to complain about Windows.

Embrace, extend, extinguish.
Nice! I was looking for pretty much exactly this a few weeks (months?) ago. Drove me nuts that everyone wanted to bury my link behind some link shortener and make me pay to keep the redirect pointed to the right place.

Ended up writing an admittedly pretty crappy wrapper around some Python QR code library. This is a strictly better version of what I made. Thanks for putting it together.

I think it's kind of important to be consistent about case because if not, people will trip when typing, it's annoying and might even cause bugs.

One thing I agree though, it's a waste of time to discuss about it. That problem is best solved with automatic tooling / linting. In the editor, git hooks and CI.

But if you and your colleagues don't have a problem with it, then I guess it's fine.
I wonder if more people are using linux as a desktop or generally, people are using less desktop devices with the rise of phones and tablets. What i mean is, before even old people and the normal users would need desktop and they would prefer windows and mac, but now i feel like they are generally less probe to use desktops and dont need them so that might be contributing to the sudden market share rise of linux maybe? U know what i mean?
And if you need more than 1 reviewer just do (n+1)-tuple programming (where n is the number of reviewers needed). The more the merrier!
Doesn't it come with Windows 11 preinstalled?
You really lucked out, and ended up with a great partner there! If i am honest with myself, on most things i would say i'm 75% the starter and 25% finisher...but at current $dayJob, oof, i'm surrounded by all starters (and not that great at starting either), but not a single finisher. Congrats to you! :-)
fwiw; I worked in a company that was kind of a Linux pioneer back in the 90s. We ran Linux for everyone. The accountant ran a VM for his accouting software, but except that everything was Linux. And once set up, it worked very well, for techies and non-technical alike.

If you get past installation and initial setup, using Linux in a desktop role isn't really challenging if you've got access to support.
> But why would a country have to be "better" or "worse"? Why consider anything else besides stockpiling weapons, after all it's the key to peace, right?

It doesn't. Realist game theory ignores issues like morality. Unfortunately this forum is primarily liberal, in both the classical sense and the international relations sense, so you are going to be heavily down voted for questioning the status quo.
Yes, but a manager could leave for an extended period of time without any real impact. If a doctor leaves the surgeries and treatments actually stop.

There are worker-coops that function perfectly well without a management layer leeching of actual productive people.

I mean practically I agree that some management is a good idea long term, and it's most efficient to have specific people for that, but to say that they are as important as the actual workers is ridiculous.
I have to say I'm very impressed. I've previously used free generators for generating scenery for my D&D campaign, and running a prompt here that previously took me dozens of tweaks to get something reasonable, instantly returned me a set of high quality images, at least one of which was much closer to my mind's eye than anything in those dozens of previous attempts.

( Prompting: An iron-gated door, set into a light stone arch, all deep set into the side of a gentle hill, as if the entrance to a forgotten crypt. The hill is lightly wooded, there is foliage in season. It is early evening. --v 6.1 )

And result: https://cdn.midjourney.com/5b56f713-3d64-471f-8c3c-08a0247e6...

The style matches exactly what I'd want too, it's captured "Fantasy RP book illustration" extremely well, despite that not being in the prompt!
I find nitpicks to not only be useless to the author, but to actively add noise that either masks any real issues you want noted or just give the author meaningless work. They seem more like a tonic for the reviewer to be able to say something to indicate they did look at the code and just result in wasted time.
Semi-relevant but a few years old, a 2021 VFX industry survery found that around 60% of workstations run Linux, and that number is expected to continue growing.

What's interesting to me is that VFX and game dev are kind of similar in terms of software and expertise, but game devs predominantly use Windows. I wonder why that is?

Open-Source Teleprompter for YC Founder Videos
Hey Hacker News,

I wanted to share a quick project that my cofounder Chaehyun and I (Nicholas) put together called YC Prompter. We built this in just a few minutes to help us nail our Y Combinator application video. After some quick tuning to get the timing right, we were able to record a usable video in a single take using this tool.

Features:

Web-based: No installation required, just visit ycprompter.com

Multi-speaker support: Configure and time multiple speakers with color-coded prompts

Script management: Easily edit and manage your presentation script

Timer: Built-in countdown and segment timing to keep you on track

Keyboard shortcuts: Control everything without leaving the screen

Privacy first: All data is stored locally in your browser

Getting Started:

Visit https://ycprompter.com in your browser.

Input your script, configure speakers, and set up your timing.

Hit "Start" or press spacebar to begin.

Be sure to record your video! We only provide the teleprompting.

Why We Built This:

Preparing a YC video can be stressful, especially when coordinating with cofounders. We wanted a tool that would make this process smoother, allowing you to focus on what matters—your pitch. This project helped us streamline our process, and we hope it can do the same for you.

Open Source:

YC Prompter is open source and licensed under MIT. You can check out the code, contribute, or suggest features on our GitHub repository.

Good luck to everyone applying to the upcoming fall batch! Let me know if you find this project helpful.

Thanks for reading!
The mimalloc crate just provides the GlobalAlloc impl that can be registered with libstd as the global allocator using the `#[global_allocator]` attr.

I'm always befuddled by comments like this. I have been daily driving Linux (arch,btw) for quite a while, and I have never once had a driver issue, even with NVIDIA graphics cards. The only times I run into issues is when I am trying to run games with anti-cheat, but even that is being worked on by Valve. Linux mostly just works in my experience, I don't see where the idea comes from that its a huge blocker, minus the lack of specialized software.
I really love the design of this blog
What on earth do you even mean??

In what units are you going to compare those apples and… rackoons?..
"I cannot understand it in any other way than if you follow these anti-pattern. Please review this code."
fantastic! i hope you decide to share more details; i'd love to hear them
I think it was great that they contacted Slack the way they did. It's also okay for me to publish. I just don't think it deserves much fanfare; in my opinion, this isn't a huge or serious vulnerability, that's all.
After all of the frustration I experienced getting Windows 11 setup in a way that was comfortable for me to use I'm ready to switch to Linux the next time I need to reinstall a operating system. So glad that SteamDeck is making Linux gaming viable. Now we just need the GPU manufactures to give Linus the same driver support Windows gets.
pg needs to build that. Hold upvote icon for 5 secs=angry upvote
I want the newest open tab to be at the top of the list, not at the bottom. The top is where your mouse usually is, that's where the website controls are, that's where stuff happens. Having to move the mouse to the bottom to activate recent tabs is annoying, especially on huge monitors.

It baffles me that none of the browsers or extensions that implement sidebar tabs have this option.
Bypassing Gatekeeper (the binary signing process in macOS) does not seem like a good idea when downloading apps off random websites.
I don't think so. These plants are super volatile and can meltdown forever.
The user will have found another solution that's more intuitive after trying thing #1 and failing.
For web, my favorite is JIT miscompilations. A tie between a mobile Safari bug that caused basic math operations to return 0 regardless of input values (basic, positive Numbers, no shenanigans), or a mobile Samsung browser bug where concatenating a specific single-character string with another single-character string would yield a Number.

Debugging errors in JS crypto and compression implementations that only occur at random, after at least some ten thousand iterations, on a mobile browser back when those were awful, and only if the debugger is closed/detached as opening it disabled the JIT was not fun.

It taught me to go into debugging with no assumptions about what can and cannot be to blame, which has been very useful later in even trickier scenarios.
Yes muscle loss is common due to rapid weight loss, usually without compensation like strength training. The effect of the drug is in reducing appetite so it is literally equivalent to calorie restriction, not some sort of fat targeting drug. But I think the public assumes it will create the “right” weight loss. Unfortunately older drug users won’t be able to regain that muscle mass easily.
I think it would be fair to call Jens the Principal Engineer on Minecraft. Is that senior enough?
Where did you manage to get one of those without Windows pre-installed? I was looking at one to replace my outdated Predator, and was hoping to save the ~$100 on the license.
They would detect that Avenue Q looks so much like Sesame Street and put that on Youtube Kids.
This makes the described attack seem even less interesting/dangerous. Thanks
I kind of wonder or suspect that user agents are being misidentified. I have heard that sometimes Android gets identified as Linux. (which I guess is actually not wrong, but you get the point...)
> And honestly, the idea that "if you can't find a another job quickly, you're clearly not very good at your job" is flat out insulting.

To be clear, I was only referring to leadership or management roles (given the context of a millionaire in this industry). At that point in your career I would expect one to have many career connections and/or enough sheer charisma and experience that makes landing a job doable if not a breeze.

It's not meant to be particularly insulting, just realistic.

> As someone who was out of work for ~13 months during the dotcom bust; this is absolutely false.

I didn't consider exceptional events such as the dotcom bust, or the 2008 financial crisis or the Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent inflation. If we include those, I do agree that if makes sense to fear losing your job.

I do concede that we've had multiple "once-in-a-lifetime" industry upsets in a very short while and with that context it could make sense to panic. But in normal circumstances, I still think fearing job loss as a millionaire comes from somewhere more emotional/instinctual than rational.
Out of interest, is there no way to rearchitect the whole thing to be event-based, ie more like a producer-consumer situation? Or do you have to loop back through all the source data and poll every hotel to fetch its current prices?
Mine came with no OS. I need Linux primarily, but still Windows occasionally for Mission Planner and other Windows-only apps. So I've installed a second M.2 disk and had this terrible experience with Windows installation afterwards.
