I suppose I'm the last person alive to just use plain text. So, yes, sorry for that omission.

The full collection is $100. At average European salaries, that's (at worst) half a day of work. Not unnoticeable, but if you care about your tools, not an amount that's entirely unreasonable. The coding family is, as you say, $30 - 90 minutes of work.

Beyond US, Europe, and other affluent countries, yes, it gets somewhat unaffordable. I don't have a good answer here. But I don't think asking indy folks to fix global inequality is the right answer, either. They need to live too.

Some choose to release their fonts for free (Monaspace, Comic Mono, Inconsolata...), but that's a choice they made for themselves. They ultimately decided it was affordable for them to do that. And that's great!

But I really have a problem with complaining about people who are trying to make a living, demanding they give away their work. One because it's somewhat entitled ("I deserve to get your work for free"), and two because it's a large part of what discourages indy work. Something our industry sorely needs.
I actually agree with most of this. Israel is almost certainly planning on genociding the Palestinians, although they have not yet started. Where we disagree I guess is in our estimation of what can be done to stop Israel. I do not believe there is anything western countries can do to stop Israel from doing whatever they want to make themselves feel safe. The Palestinians do legitimately make them feel unsafe and as long as that is true it’s not possible to stop Israel from genociding them.

I really don’t think the original comment overlooked any of the stuff you pointed out, it just called it all irrelevant.
I'm going by the BMW E90 (Top HiFi option) which has 3 physical FM antennas FM1, FM2 and FM3, all in the rear glass, and a fourth "FM4" which is not a physical antenna but a combination of FM1 and FM2.

They really didn't want you losing signal!

This isn't even mentioning the festoon of other antennas for DAB, mobile (which has a backup too and phones home in a crash: in case the shark fin is broken in a crash)
Companies: "your testing is costing us thousands of dollars"

I think you nailed the analogy with mines and the distinction between legal and moral.

Putting morality aside and focusing only on language and semantica:

I agree that this action may be better described as military action with an associated risk of harm to civilians (like many military actions do) rather than a pure action against civilians with the purpose of terrorizing your enemy civilian population.

I don't think it's common to use the word "terrorism" to indicate acts whose purpose is to induce fear in your military opponent.

Perhaps "psychological warfare" or "intimidation tactics".

That doesn't forbid you from qualifying that act of aggression as exacting an unnecessarily high toll on innocent bystanders. You don't have to invoke the word "terrorism" if all you want to say is that an act is immoral.
The FTC is under the president's authority. This is election pandering, same as Zuckerberg's backpedaling on government censorship.

There are really a lot of features, you were mainly engaged in Java server development, so fast to be able to do the website so well, feel very fast.
In fact, there are many website functions are relatively single, focus on solving problems, page can bring a lot of traffic.
If the focus is too divergent, it is possible that each function is not done well enough.
Of course, these are two ways of doing things, and large companies like Canva do many, many features. But as an individual, one's energy is limited.

Thanks man! I'm working on the docker-compose support. I got it working locally, but the ergonomics are really hard to get right, cus compose files are so flexible. I was even considering using the `sidekick.yaml` file as the main config and then turn that into docker compose - similar to what fly.io does with fly.toml. But I wanna keep this docker centric... so yeah I am still doing more thinking around this
Even the USSR tolerated small business like mom & pop shops. Historically what we've seen in communist countries is that major production is under extremely heavy government control. Things like raw materials, shipping, energy, banking, agriculture and manufacturing are what the dictators care about.

This is echoed by contemporary left-wing thinking in "the West." Small business is often championed while "big pharma", "big tech", "banking" and other industry giants are derided and viewed as shady at best, criminal at worst (note I'm not calling all left-wingers communists! I'm just saying that this dichotomy in left-wing thought is very common... heck, it's even common among many right-wingers).

I'm not defending communism by saying that, while "black markets" undoubtedly exist, small trade is not typically looked at as "black market capitalism." As I understand it the idea isn't to prohibit trade itself but to "control the means of production" in an attempt to achieve prosperity by removing the profit motive from industry.

Of course the circumvention of the "chicken tax" is probably the most well-known example of tariff engineering:

> Ford imported all of its first-generation Ford Transit Connect models as "passenger vehicles" by including rear windows, rear seats, and rear seat belts. The vehicles are exported from Turkey on ships owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), arrive in Baltimore, and are converted back into light trucks at WWL's Vehicle Services Americas, Inc. facility by replacing rear windows with metal panels and removing the rear seats and seat belts. The removed parts are not shipped back to Turkey for reuse, but shredded and recycled in Ohio. The process exploits the loophole in the customs definition of a light truck; as cargo does not need seats with seat belts or rear windows, presence of those items automatically qualifies the vehicle as a "passenger vehicle" and exempts the vehicle from "light truck" status. The process costs Ford hundreds of dollars per van, but saves thousands in taxes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimated that between 2002 and 2018 the practice saved Ford $250 million in tariffs.

Every single owner of intellectual property is a monopolist. The government grants them a monopoly on the information for a number of years.

Patents are somewhat tolerable monopolies: they tend to last only a quarter of our lifetimes. Once they expire, the information is freed from their "ownership".

Nintendo didn't build their fortunes on patents, though. They built it on copyrights. You and I will likely be long dead before those works enter the public domain. If they ever do.
"With this general availability launch, users of Remote Desktop clients for Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and web will transition to Windows App."

I installed the Windows App on Windows and the first screen prompts with "Connect to your cloud resources with a work or school account. Sign in". This definitely does not make Windows App seem like a replacement for Remote Desktop, which requires no cloud account.
Very cool, thanks. It looks like they can be used for WIFI as well, which would make these perfect for business mesh networks.
Goodness, I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that link. Clicked and disabled straightaway.
Ooh that's excellent news, thank you! When I'd last checked it was not an option and our account rep had no predictions to offer.
On non-Windows platforms its a partial UI rework on the existing Remote Desktop Client, but I think on Windows its separate to the existing Remote Desktop Client/App(s) and its specifically for accessing cloud-hosted Windows PCs (Windows365, DevBox, Azure VDI etc)
> landmines are also indiscriminate and allowed within warfare

That is an interesting angle.

I do see that there is a clear distinction that makes the pager/radio explosives worse ethically. Landmines are generally laid to prevent people from encroaching on a guarded area. Minefields can be labeled, which suggests that the idea of the presence of a mine actually helps them be effective in preventing encroachment.

In the pager/radio case, the explosives were distributed to individuals (both devices are usually worn on the body) with zero indication that there was danger. There is no 'protection' being done here, just murder, and loosely targeted. When the attacker is ready, they detonate 4000 devices without knowledge of the environment around it, meaning they are willing to deal with innocent people being killed.

It's a really evil tactic.
Couldn't this work locally over the webUSB API?

What advantage does this actually confer over just a normal antenna you place at the top of your window? The "look it's glass!" hype claims it won't obstruct your view, but on an 8ft tall window, nothing is obstructing your view up there anyway!
It's not uncommon to see misalignment in large corporations like that. A year or so ago, Datadog field teams were explicitly creating FUD over OTel ("it's unstable, unusuable" all the same crap) while at the same time ramping up some of their efforts to contribute to OTel and make their own product experiences with OTel data better. They (and perhaps also Dynatrace) have an entire field org trained on the idea that their proprietary tech is inherently better and nothing in the open will be able to compete with it.

Also, to say OTel threatens these proprietary agents would be an understatement. The OTel Java agent comes with 100+ OOTB integrations right now. If I were a Dynatrace sales leader and I know that we sunk a ton of cost into creating our own stuff, I'd be casting FUD into the world over OTel too.
That's Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, not Computer Science. It's reportedly a good book, but by the TOC I wouldn't consider it CS fundamentals so much as systems programming fundamentals.
Is there a comparison of the memory footprint of each VM? and whether there are guarantees with memory allocation / crash robustness etc ?
> One of the interesting things is the shenanigans some of these companies would pull to show up first in our local results. A whole lot of A1 and AAA names began to spring up as they decided that if the list was going to be alphabetical by default, then they needed to be the first in their category.

This well predates Google, though; it was a common trick for placement in the (physical) phone book.
I know how to compile and link C. I've never done C<->JS FFI but could probably figure it out. But if I have relatively small C code in single files, why bother? I'll take the easy route unless there's a clear reason not to.

The thing is, I'm not already using the Bun runtime and wouldn't switch just for this.

Locally here means the locally on your laptop locally, not locally on your VPS. Contrary to popular opinion, I believe your source code shouldn't be on your prod machine - a docker image is all you need. Lots of other projects push your code to VPS to build the image there then use it. I see no point in doing that...
how does expensive bandwidth equate to dodgy clients? There are lot's of valid use cases for scraping data, and it's legal to scrape publicly available data, even if the websites hosting it try to block it (try a curl request to reddit, for example)
Hah, talk about good timing. I just got my flipper:D

I have a weird related question and I am not looking for a full answer, but rather on what/where would be a good resource to find that information as what I have found so far was not super useful.

In short, for the newer employee badges, are there some secret handshake pieces that flipper can't copy? Stuff around the house worked flawlessly, but the moment I tried to play with employee card, I got, um, mixed results.

Yup, it's another alternative to using the regular API. The issue was that a lot of the providers required you to build their libs and caused a lot of friction running on standalone vanilla JS. This aims to compile all those solutions and package it.

As an aside, can all of y'all competing observability vendors cool it with the pitches in the comments? Literally every time someone posts about observability there's a half dozen or more heavy-handed pitch comments to wade through.
Ask HN: Is it wrong not wanting career progression beyond senior?
I pursued computer science because of the career prospect, the fact that the salary is not capped by regulators and I had the grades to get accepted in a program. I am not a senior developer, but am never out of work for more than 2 months in my entire 15+ years career with the up and down in tech. I live comfortably in a low-cost-of-living area. I am not looking for FIRE. I switched roles every few years so that I could learn new tech stacks and get perspective from different teams.

The increased responsibilities of senior+roles are daunting. I once had the energy in my younger days to jump into the challenges, but ended up jaded after not getting the results. People have been just looking out for themselves. (Not wrong!)
Have you tried the Windows App?

You mean Windows?

No, I mean the app.

Which app?

The Windows app.

Is it in the Windows app store?

Yes, and you can use it to connect to your other devices.

Oh, so like RDP?

Sort of. But you need an MS 365 subscription to use it. Also, you cannot connect to remote desktop services from a Windows OS using Windows App, only MacOS, iOS or Android.

So I should get a Mac or Android to use the full feature set of the Windows App?

Sort of, but you can connect to your Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktops using the Windows App on your Windows OS.

So the Windows App on Windows is just for accessing cloud PC subscriptions with Microsoft, but not any of my physical Windows PCs?

Yes. That's why it's called the Windows App.

I have been stalked and harassed by an Apple employee using data they were able to glean from their access at Apple.

The impossible part is proving the abuse. All of these companies keep their database, access controls, and everything they possible can about these data lakes secret. The simple fact of the matter is that you will never have any evidence someone looked you up in a database.

It is really easy to walk the line, but be obvious enough to intimidate.

Those aren't layoffs - at least as they're commonly implemented - they're performance based firings. Layoffs are done in a mass manner and tend to be highly inaccurate - they're often based off of BS kpis.
I was successful using llms to greatly help me on writing tests, on the front-end for simple components (they cant understand simple FSM we use on our page), or on the back-end to write what I would call 'gadgets' functions (I know, sec people, it's not what gadget really are, sorry), but as soon as you have a bit of complexity or domain-specific knowledge, they fall on their face. In the end, I might be 10-20% more effective now that I know in which cases llms are helpful, but clearly they won't replace anybody soon, as long as your product is complex enough.
NMS systems are useful for monitoring large networks where something is likely to fail due to sheer quantity of devices/interfaces. Visualization is secondary to state capture and alerting.

There was a Radiolab story fight about dolls vs toys

https://radiolab.org/podcast/177199-mutant-rights

Little blurb

…who noticed something interesting while looking at a book of tariff classifications. "Dolls," which represent human beings, are taxed at almost twice the rate of "toys," which represent something not human - such as robots, monsters, or demons. As soon as they read that, Sherry and Indie saw dollar signs. it just so happened that one of their clients, Marvel Comics, was importing its action figures as dolls.
…
So Sherry and Indie went down to the customs office with a bag of XMEN action figures to convince the US government that these mutants are NOT human.
Yes. Exactly this.

Monument Valley was awesome!

And I had the exact same experience with Journey - good the first... 10 minutes? Then nope.

I like this idea, however I worry that it would be difficult to do it while being consistent (and unbiased). If the same questions are asked of each student then later students might be unfairly prepped. If different questions are asked then it becomes very difficult to normalize scores across the class. The bias risk is self-explanatory and may be unconscious.

If you could solve this problem well, you could also probably fix the issues with most interview processes.
On the other hand "he was using the dark-web Tor browser beloved of criminals and widely used amongst drug sellers" is probably pretty convincing to jurors.

I find it amazing how that lack of curiosity about how computers work extends into modern software developers, I guess that the majority of the industry nowadays are people that do things like "bootcamps" and go into it for the money.

I have no need for ipv6, however I wanted to know about it so spent a couple of hours setting myself up with it. I don't bother with the latest fads that last 3 or 4 years and then are replaced by a new fad, but ipv6 has been around long enough that it's clearly not a fad.
Anyone who actually runs machines can tell you that the cloud is an expensive way to run anything. If you have zero servers, then sure, running something small might be cheaper, but if you have any number more than zero, running things on your own server(s) always make more sense.

It's interesting that the people who bought in to the marketing believe that you no longer need systems administrators - now you just need someone who intimately knows AWS and their billing shenanigans, and who will babysit used resources to avoid incurring huge bills.

Those marketing fans also say that the cloud is necessary for scaling up, as though they could never imagine running services on owned servers in addition to maintaining services in the cloud that can be turned on and turned up when needed. When people are that blinded by marketing fluff, you know that their cloud expenditure is going to be much higher than it needs to be.

I've been helping people move from the cloud to servers they already own for years. The cloud has its place, but anyone who thinks everything belongs there shouldn't be trusted with tech or with spending.
Microsoft seems to be terrible at naming things, but their strategy is to confuse people when their products get labeled as garbage and have a stigma attached so they can just change the name again.
