> Which will shorten the lifespan of the SSD

Technically true, but not enough for you to notice.

Modern SSDs have drive write lifetimes in the high hundreds of TB of writes.

If you had 128GB of memory in your laptop, writing that down to disk isn't going to consume much of that write lifetime.
>There’s something breathtakingly arrogant about that

"Breathtakingly arrogant" is pretty much exactly what I would think of if someone asked me to describe Microsoft in 2 words.
State of S3 turns out to literally be what this article is about, but I still feel mislead expecting cloud storage not machine sleep states.
Oh! Can you please share the error?
Still the same. No prizes.
I use an IdeaPad with a 4000 series Ryzen. It works fine for the time being.

Articles like these make me afraid that the damn thing will break eventually and I'll have to spend exorbitants amounts of money on something like a Framework to get a usable Linux experience.

Not to mention that having a fake-off state like S0ix is a golden ticket for covert surveillance (like our phones don't do enough for the gestapo). I don't think anybody cares about Cortana, even less so on a suspended laptop. The notifications and update angle is really suspicious as well.
really never got the whole concept of what is basically is a tpm that advertises "money here"

software otp in a phone or something that is able to be updated seems to be a better choice
This is too hard to be fun.
Nonsense. You can’t feed people with machines. You need raw materials and you need land to produce those materials from. That productive land is already owned by a bunch of people who currently use it to grow food and sell at market for profit.

Are you proposing we seize their land? That’s what the Soviets did. Millions died. With the weaponry we have today it could be hundreds of millions or billions. All for what? So people don’t have to work?

Now suppose we do collectivize all the farms, this time miraculously without killing everyone, and we successfully set up the automation to feed everyone (despite the fact that a lot of crops still need to be picked by hand due to a lack of robot technology). We still don’t eliminate the need for work. There’s tons of other stuff to be done. Building houses, computers, trains, planes, automobiles, and new factory robots. There’s still tons of research going into all this stuff, maintenance and repair. People still need to do all this work. Who is going to pay them? Who is going to own what they produce?

If I build a robot in my garage to automate harvesting the peppers I grow in my backyard, do I own it?
Show HN: I Built DollarAI.Store – A Collection of 350 AI Tools
I’ve been working on DollarAI.Store, a platform where you can access over 350+ AI tools in one plane. The idea behind it was to create a place where anyone could easily find and use AI tools. My goal was to simplify the process of discovering and using AI, making it more accessible to everyone.

It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m excited to see how others might use these tools in their projects. I’d appreciate any feedback or thoughts on how to make it even better.
we totally agree that AI giving you coding solutions doesn't help. So Edmigo never provides solutions unless explicitly requested. Instead it gives hints to help learners think
> receive Windows Updates during Sleep mode

That is just peak level stupidity. I sometimes boot into Windows, and every time Windows Update runs, the fans are on high, my system is taken hostage ("Do not turn off your computer - updates ready 100%" - showing for 15 minutes), and there is nothing I can do about it.

Compared to this, an `apt upgrade` is basically an instant action (only kernel updates take a bit longer). Too bad Ubuntu is trying to break that with snap, but it is still a minor inconvenience.
> If that's legal in the home country of the business (as it would in, say, America) then its none of the EU's business.

The data pertain to EU's citizens, that is covered under the GDPR, if your business deal with private data from EU's citizens you are under the GDPR even if you don't operate in the EU (such as the case of Clearview). Of course, without an office/representation in the EU it's impossible for the EU to collect the fines and apply other punishments, still the business will be judged under the terms of the GDPR in the EU.

It's the business of the EU since the data is from EU's citizens. Like I mentioned before, if a business was defrauding people (i.e.: identity theft) in the USA while operating outside of the USA, the American justice system has all the prerogative to defend its citizens rights even if it wasn't possible to stop the operation, collect fines, etc. There would be an investigation, there would be a prosecution and eventual punishment. Depending on how egregious the rights violating behaviour was it could escalate into the international sphere.

It's the same case here, Clearview AI is processing private data from EU's citizens even if outside of the EU it is against EU laws.

> Or America was fining them for dealing with US-blocklisted entities like Iran.

The USA does punish companies outside of the USA for dealing with US-blocklisted entities, how the hell do you think sanctions work? Why do you think most of the world avoid dealing with Iran, North Korea, etc.?

Clearview has been targeted before by other DPAs in the EU [0][1][2][3][4].

>Is there any application of "Modern Standby" that is actually delivering significant value to customers somewhere?

Why is this important, or even something to consider? The only thing that's important with Windows and features in it is whether something delivers value to Microsoft.
Vue 2.x didn't know what it wanted to be, Vue 3.x feels decent and not at the whim of JS shitfluencers on YouTube. One can be perfectly productive in it and it scales to CRUD apps of any size.

I personally enjoy React and TSX and a minimal setup but it is a constant battle to keep it minimal because the ecosystem is driven by merchants of complexity.
Agreed! That's why Edmigo is backed by content we hand-crafted

In other first world countries it's certainly different. In Germany everyone gets paid time off, which is separate from paid sick time (there is usually no hard limit, but some fair use policy applies in some jobs). I can't be fired for random reasons on the spot - if I get fired for random reasons, they still have to pay me for a 1-3 month period that I work while I look for a new job.

Firing on the spot is only legal in exceptional circumstances, e.g. when they can prove you simply didnt work your hours, or something (outside of paid and u paid leave, paid and unpaid sick leave).

We also get maternal and paternal leave which is very nice.

Overtime, health insurance, etc. are also dictated to some degree by law in a lot of countries.

The fact that you (Americans) feel enslaved is because you choose to elect a government that doesn't care about any of that.
Yes, WebGL's built in antialiasing is MSAA, not supersampling. MSAA only affects the edges of triangles. It doesn't help aliasing introduced by shaders at all.

Supersampling is easy to implement, just set the canvas size to a multiple of the viewport size and scale it down with CSS. It will help with all forms of aliasing, however it gets very slow very quickly. Shader aliasing is better solved analytically whenever possible.

One trick that you can use when aliasing is difficult to solve is to use supersampling but only when the scene is static. Google Maps WebGL does this. While you are dragging the map it is aliased. As soon as you stop dragging and the map becomes stationary, it renders 16 frames with subpixel offsets and blends them together to produce one supersampled frame (this is better than resizing the canvas because it can be interrupted in the middle if the user starts dragging again). This doesn't work for dynamic games but it might be suitable for your application with a lot of static content.
One of the top reasons I'm staying with MacBooks. It's not unusual for my laptop to have hundreds of days of uptime. Going back to shutting down everything every time I close the lid is unusable for me at this point.

Whoever fixes this first will make a lot of money.

Edit: SteamDeck is also very good at this and that's why I'm sticking to it for handheld gaming.
Reason I posted this is because kagi's t-shirt shop is up, which is a bit of a weird move for a search engine. There has been some critisism on their lack of focus and giving away 20.000 free t-shirts to early supporters?

I see S3 as another victim of the enforced convergence of PC and mobile that MS did get into with Windows 8.

On paper modernizing S3 made even sense since getting all the system components to work nicely with S3 is not an easy task. What wasn't thought off is that handling the same task in modern standby generally isn't easier.
I think political polarisation in the US has created a far more inward looking country. Neglect of foreign policy is a result.
This is wrong.

Deck is the set of cards that you bring to a match.

Library is a region of the game state: the cards that are yet-to-be-drawn. This only exists as part of the gameplay. Other gamestate regions are the battlefield, the graveyard...
I can be much more productive these days because I have the information resources on the internet. In the early days, for example, I'd mail order books and wait weeks for them to arrive, and hope they had what I needed in them.

I also collaborate with people all over the world. That simply wasn't possible in the 1980s. I'd mail floppy disks internationally, and would use the fax machine for communication (at a dollar a page!).
The BitLocker thing is definitely a problem. On Apple systems which have a similar FDE system, the preboot environment will shut the machine down if the page is left open for too long. The CPU/GPU (if present) are in a pre-power-management state during this time too, so the laptop will really heat up.

I wonder how limited the preboot BitLocker screen environment really is. Could there could be some flag set by the UEFI that says "I'm a laptop and the lid is closed without power connected, shut down after a timeout".
IME experience, at least on HP G8 EliteBooks, both AMD and Intel, Linux actually keeps the machine quiet and cool during "modern standby". With Windows, it absolutely will turn on the fans at some point, and the machine absolutely will get hot for whatever reason.

This seems to have been fixed for a while now (say a year or so), but when the Intel machine was new, Windows would sometimes not wake up from sleep, or if did, the screen would be garbled.

The AMD still has an issue where Windows will "unexpectedly shutdown" (according to the event log) during modern standby. This happens every single time I leave it on standby during the night. This is an almost four-year-old machine by now, not some brand-spanking-new thing, which works otherwise perfectly, especially on Linux.
Looks nice, thanks for sharing!
Increase your programming speed using Python CLI automation
> particularly stuff like Parallels, IntelliJ or MS Teams for whatever reason routinely manage to prevent sleep or to randomly activate and hog the dGPU

mac os is nice enough to allow applications to prevent sleep. Check "pmset -g assertions" to point out the culprit.

A couple years ago it was Chrome for me. It kept an assertion saying "WebRTC has active peer connections" on all the time. This has only lead me to have a pathological hatred for WebRTC and I turn it off in all my browsers now.

As for the dGPU, i've never had one but I do have a feeling that spells trouble, especially with these electron apps and their Helper (GPU) processes. I'm old fashioned enough to do most of my work on desktops that are plugged in and only buy lightweight laptops (13-14 inch mbpros wit no discrete GPU).

Biggest functional difference is that Vue's reactivity is built on Proxy objects, which lets you simply bind your view layer to your model layer and things just keep in sync, without any extra APIs to think about. React has useState which gives you a setter that you need to use with an entirely new object each time. In Vue you can just change a property deep inside the model layer and the view updates.

That's what's keeping me in Vue primarily. I think MobX does something similar in React but the API is clunkier than Vue.

On top of that, the API is just much nicer. None of the confusing functional language and concepts e.g. "what exactly did the programmer intend by this 'useEffect' call??"
Technically it's acting on behalf of a proactive user in Chrome so IMHO is non-"robotic". But heh tbf this was also the excuse of Perplexity where they argued they are a legitimate non-robotic-user-agent (thus don't need to respect robots.txt) because they only make requests at the time of a user query. We need a new way of understanding what it even means to be a legitimate human user-agent. The presence of AIs as client-side catalysts will only grow.
This is a great rant!

Steve Jobs had an insight that a computer was just another household appliance

But it was built by engineers who came from the homebrew world

This is a great example of how our appliance has gotten worse, even though it’s on hardware that is 1000x the throughput, and we’ve lost the ability to configure it too

This has destroyed one of my older laptops, it decided on its own to patch itself while in a laptop bag in sleep mode. It was a "workstation" laptop that can draw something like 60W from battery, and it promptly cooked itself. The plastic melted and smoke was coming out of the bag. On a moving train.

Here's the thing: this self-serving behaviour from Microsoft will eventually kill someone, or quite possibly a large number of people. It's just a matter of time until a high-powered laptop does this in someone's luggage on a plane, catches fire, and then there will be congressional investigations like we had with the Boeing 737 MCAS system.

In both cases near-monopoly companies are gambling with peoples' lives to meet some internal KPI that in the grand scheme of things just doesn't matter... but it does to some manager's bonus, so you see... people are going to have to die.
If your notebook has 16 GB of RAM that needs to be written out every time it hibernates, and you do that three times a day, five days a week, you’d accumulate about 63 TB of writes over five years. That’s roughly a third of the TBW rating for an average 256 GB SSD. A typical 1 TB SSD would have three times the endurance or more.

I think your SSD will handle it just fine. :)
Given how little I use my Windows 10 laptop these days, I just turn it off off when I'm not using it. It seems to stay that way.
I’d say the V-2 as the first missile. The V-1 would be more like a drone.
Which movie did your brain see? Eye movements create different versions of film
I have had this exact problem on many of my previous Macbooks (2009, 2015, 2019). I'm hoping my newest Apple Silicon one will solve it.

edit: maybe not the specific S3 sleep problem but a general inability to sleep correctly
If you use the web (or older java) console to share the ISO as a virtual drive then it tends to be dog slow. If you SSH into the iLO then you can point the virtual CD drive at a HTTP web server hosting the image which seems to be significantly quicker to read. It uses HTTP range requests for random IO too, so doesn't need to pre-read the entire ISO.
Words matter in this case.

The fact that they are pushing S3 as "Linux Sleep" or "Legacy Sleep" and S0ix as "modern sleep" is absolutely not innocent from a marketing perspective.

We ought to reverse Uno this non-sense. Perhaps the Linux Foundation and all the distro development teams out there should start calling S3 _True_Sleep_™ in all their official communication.
> I would attribute low startup numbers to cultural risk aversion of Germans

Which is literally one aspect of how easy or hard it is to create a startup and get it somewhere. Can't fire people quickly enough since market is changing daily? Well it will be a nightmare for the owners to become or remain relevant enough to stay afloat.

I am not bashing EU just to be clear, having more job stability has tons of long term positive consequences on population's mental state and 2nd and 3rd order positive effects (the usage of various 'mental' medication in US seems to be ridiculously high compared to 3 countries in Europe I've lived in for example), but good environment for agile fail fast startups it ain't.
maybe the desktop environment doesnt support the audio driver but wine does
It's solved, perfectly.
> as long as the number of cards in it is not divisible by three or is equal to three

I'm curious about the distinction here. Is it needed? Isn't N divisible by N? Or is there a mathematically-meaningful difference?
Vue is absolutely a lot more delightful compared to React even in large projects, thanks to fine grained reactivity which React still lacks after all these years (I know people have come up with various bandaids). React wins in ecosystem, i.e. the breadth of available libraries.
The issue is not for one person or company to fix. Just like it's impossible to convince all the OSS desktop folks to follow one displayserver/toolkit/UX paradigm it's equally impossible to enforce bug free hardware and drivers from all the PC hardware manufacturers and whatever Microsoft is doing at the moment it seems fixing this is very low on the priority list...

I’ve heard good things about varnish and believe I used it for a few things back in the day. Squid was also good when I used it in the kid 2000s (not sure where it’s today) and I think I heard that Akamai was originally just Squid on NetBSD or something like that!! Can anyone confirm or deny?

Look, the only thing that's never safe is speaking in absolutes.

Does the table have a million records? And I mean come on, a million records and a FTS once a day on modern machine - for the sake of inserts I actually would go with it... Besides may I remind you: materialised views.

> It does! Your customer (hopefully) knows their own DB. You don't. Have your customer build the API and they'll support your integration.

Howm has a simple solution for this: Links like “>>> this thing” searches for “this thing” and opens a search buffer. The top hit is already marked, shown in a preview window below, and can be opened by clicking enter. But if you want a different result, you just navigate that search buffer to find the hit you want.

The search triggered by a link is sorted such that it shows first “comefrom links” (if any file has said explicitly said that “these keywords should lead here”), then headline results (files where your phrase is in the note title), then siblings (other notes that link to the same keywords), then fulltext search matches (any file that just contains those words). So if you have 0 results with those keywords in the title after renaming a note, you might still find the note again via full-text search hits below. If you have 2+ results, just navigate between them with the arrow keys while previewing their contents, and open the one you want.

This design is intentional: The author advocates to “write fragmentarily, read collectively”; so instead of refinding an old note and adding to it, you can make a new note with a similar title where you capture new info, and then links will point to both notes from now on. (In most cases, if their titles are similar, the contents are likely relevant in the same situations as well.)

With that said, Howm supports exact links as well: You can link to a file path instead of a title. Since Howm defaults to putting just the creation datetime in the note filename, the filename is by default like an immutable-ish UUID, and such links should remain exact as long as you don’t manually move or remove a file. By default, Howm creates such links in one context: If you create a note (C-c , c) while inside another note, it saves an exact back link to where you came from so you can remember your “inspiration”. But you are of course free to use such links everywhere instead of the “fuzzy links” above if you prefer.
