It's the Starbucks over-commodification of features, apps, and ordinary products to extract money from a sliver of rich people and an increasingly impoverished nation where wages for the bottom 75% have been flat for 40 years while real costs as proportion of income have skyrocketed, including education and housing. There's a ~60% chance of recession around Feb 2025 and that means lots more tech layoffs and pullback in dev tool spending. The point is that such a controversial, narrow rented service in a crowded category competing with FOSS apps for such a small addressable market appears risky and unreasonable.
Yet no one calls their homemade food a product and offer to others for free calling it that. The semantic prominence of a commercial product would prevail as the first thing that comes to mind for anyone because that's also one of the meanings of the word product.

It's simply confusing to call something that can and is commonly monetized as a (commercial) product - that is, software - and not expect others to believe its something paid.

e.g. "Apache is a product for serving web pages" would surely be read by majority of people not familiar with Apache as if it's paid.

> That type of pedantry is why people make fun of the free software movement.

No. They make fun because people use terms like open-source to mean more than just a source that is open.

Or free and open-source whereas free, like product can also have more than one meaning. And they expect people unfamiliar to understand it means free as in liberty not as in price.

These are confusing, just like using the word product for unpaid software done that is done in spare time and has no commercial support whatsover.

If I could decide, the movement would have been called something like "source code free to see and to modify (and redistribute, if applicable)". Lengthy, yes, but also pretty clear.
Can you give some examples of how the Python type system is disappointing you?
I think, thankfully, that the average user is increasingly aware of these kinds of problems, and hopefully the era of companies being this irresponsible is starting to come to an end.

Anecdotally, my elderly parents have asked me questions about ransomware and "our house getting hacked" because of segments they've seen on the mainstream nightly news. So the awareness is out there..
Kubernetes, in a nutshell, is a dozen `while true` loops all fighting with each other.
A phone often is necessary if you run into issues while being outside. Let's not ignore the importance of being able to call for help if necessary. Can't blame the phone for yourself not being able to detach properly.

When you're editing a prompt, the back button takes you back to the nudge screen instead of the prompts popup, which feels like a bug.
After unlock is probably impossible. But open app over app is possible with one sec and shortcuts.
If you are thinking of going down this route with this tool or another tool, don’t.

If you feel the need to add secrets to a git repository that means you have a problem with your development/deployment workflow.

Secrets shouldn’t live in product source code just like configuration shouldn’t live in product source code.

IIRC on modern Android phones, doing this will prompt you to log into the original Google account when setting it up after resetting. If you can't log in, the phone is effectively still locked. It's supposed to be an anti-theft measure so that thieves can't just factory reset and make the phone useful again

Edit: This feature is called Factory Reset Protection, read more at https://support.google.com/android/answer/9459346?hl=en

Bipolar electrolytic capacitors are a thing, I recently had to solder up a handful of them in some audio circuits.
In my experience organizations that end up this way have a very much non blame-free culture. Can be driven by founders that lack technical skills and management experience but have a type-A personality. As a result no one wants to point out a bad decision because the person who made it will get reprimanded heavily. So they go down a path that is clearly wrong until they find a way to blame something external to reset. Usually that's someone who recently left the company or some tool choice.
They're running a business.. it's not like you can't buy any Apple products in Ireland, running a retail store is likely not worth the hassle.

As for taxes that's on the EU and member countries for having such a complexity that only massive corporates can benefit, rather than simplifying and making it worthwhile to operate for businesses of all sizes.
Same. Spent one whole day tinkering with it and now it's sitting at my desk like a paperweight...
“Tragic realism” sounds like a literary counterpart to the psychological concept of “depressive realism. The former is a fictional story that carries the hallmarks of classic tragedies but within an incredibly authentic context. The latter is the hypothesis that individuals with depression may have a more accurate perception of reality because they have a dearth of healthy, positive illusions. Makes me wonder if creators of depressingly accurate portrayals in fiction suffer from some element of depressive realism in their own lives.
In general, sdcards are slow... most use kernel cache lazy page flush if the pi4 has 8GB ram, and F2FS to improve flash reliability.

After, "sudo apt-get install preload" it will cause previously used programs from the last session to auto-cache into ram. Combined with the above setting, the usual programs will launch much faster.

There is also the option to use an external SSD drive for better performance.

Part of the fun of pi4 was getting the OS optimized, but unless you have a legitimate "Sandisk Extreme Pro U3" or >30MB/sec rated sdcard it can still be slow (people have seen 4MB/sec on old counterfeit cards.)

sdcard bus overclocking is a thing as the pi tries to maximize slow hardware compatibility by default. Note this feature is limited on the pi4, but can significantly decrease boot times on older models.

YMMV =)
I watched an episode of some show about this place and immediately went to my refrigerator and wrote it down on my list of places I want to see.
Tiny startups don't have money to spend on too much PaaS or too many VMs or faff around with custom scripts for all sorts of work.

Admittedly, if you don't know k8s, it might be non-starter... but if you some knowledge, k3s plus cheap server is a wonderful combo

Yes, and that’s the worst part of async. That’s why you need to be very strategic about where you introduce it into your code in order to minimize the number of functions it infects, not give up and write a framework that’s all async for no good reason.

It's probably still more secure than trying to compare the regular old string representations (who checks more than the last 5 characters from the end?)

There's an aluminum oxide layer as a coating on both the anode and cathode inside the (electrolytic) capacitor. Under forward voltage it will gradually thicken but under reverse voltage it dissolves and causes a short. This increases the temperature which causes hydrogen ions to separate and bubble through the material, increasing pressure within the capacitor package until it bursts.
Off topic - a separate blog post by TFA got me into split mechanical keyboards. It helped me after years of shoulder and wrist pain. Highly recommend exploring other posts by Ian.

Genuine question, I also like to use my smartphone less, but what about when you are in the lavatory? I have a habit of using my smartphone else I cannot go. Has anyone been able to solve that?
On the other hand - when ssh warns you the host key has changed but the art looks unchanged to your eye, you know something serious has happened.
If you need to care about state with systemd you still have the "nonsense" of persistent volume claims, they are just something you keep in notes somewhere, in my experience usually in heads of the sysadmins or an excel sheet or a text file that tries to track which server has what data connected how.
Exactly. Yea, similar to what Gatsby does.

kubernetes is how I keep compute costs in 2-3 digits :V

Yeah, it's on the list of things to fix. Now to exit the prompt popup properly you have to click either on cross or out of the popup area.
I mean this is pretty much a summary of all the problems of our education, including the problem highlighted by the article. It's a system for teaching the masses and creating societal outcomes but folks want it to be a system for teaching specifically $their_child according to their needs.

I think a lot of the discussion fades away when you're forced to pin down that it's for raising the floor and that at best what you'll get from public schools with the resources is 1-3 tracks remedial, "normal", and AP/IB. Everyone with special needs in either direction needs to switch to private or a school system in a rich area that can afford more individualized instruction.
Not just you, I don't have a clue what this article was trying to teach me. I was expecting an interesting read.
We have 3 cluster, prod, dev, test with a few pod each.

Each cluster is wasting tons of cpu and i/o bandwidth just to be idle. I was told that it is etcd doing thousands i/o per second and this is normal.

I don't know why you say that it doesn't have predictive power, as it absolutely does.

For example, I predict that as long as western democracies will continue to depend on autocracies (there is no sign for that to stop), the existing wars will continue to expand and conflicts multiply.
I stand corrected. I probably got confused by the statement that Shenandoah is bundled by default as of JDK 12.

As I hope decent system administrator... turns out I find running minimal kubernetes setup (k3s is great there) more sensible and cheaper than managing the server in classic way.
License aside, there’s currently no way to get graphics acceleration on the APU running the device. So no, you cannot run macOS on it even if you wanted to
It’s not uploaded anywhere: the client fetches Gemini servers directly from your browser.

But I understand it can be difficult to trust: that’s why the project is on GitHub so you can run it on your own machine and look at how the key is used.

I will try to offer a version that doesn’t require any key.
No. We don't want to end the measurement report with "Die".
It makes no sense.
They definitely do hardware R&D there [including on major recent launches] and a lot of product assembly. They also advertise production-line automation software gigs periodically for the plant in Little Island (the lesser-known site on the east side of the city which is neither of the offices everyone here knows about).

They were replaced because the immediate cost for the selling company was way lower, because they just externalized the environmental cost on the the rest of the world.

But plastic was never "better". Remember that we had PVC all the places until we found out it was made with a carcinogen.
There was an intermediate state on Twitter -- where the default experience was poo but one could make Twitter palatable by using third party clients and other tools.

> Nine people a day are being arrested for posting allegedly offensive messages online as police step up their campaign to combat social media hate speech.

If this is true (don’t know publication’s agenda or researched the issue), it is really problematic that police are using force. Everyone has the right to be offensive.
Wow. Thanks for reporting. Fixing it.

It drives me NUTS that nobody makes a decent e-ink device with a GPS app.

It seems like it'd be ideal for the backcountry use-case. Super long battery life because you could just wake up the GPS every few hours and get a new fix, reframe the map, then go back to sleep and use the latent image like a topo map.
Don't forget how the lack of magnetic field and low gravity means even if by some scifi feat of giga-engineering you create an atmospheric on Mars, it'll boil off into space (like the previous one did). Mars loses approximately a few kilotons a year, while Earth loses approx 3kg/yr.
I'm more than open to the possibility - I think it's very likely that something existed beforehand which we don't (yet) know about.
Brings back memories…

About 30 years ago I designed my first PCB with frequencies in the GHz range. It was full of challenging transmission line paths with frequencies in the hundreds of MHz and above.

I am still proud of the fact that all of the high speed signals worked as designed, with excellent signal and power integrity (the large FPGA was challenging). Emissions passed as well.

I did, however, screw up one thing: DC

I somehow managed to layout the DC input connector backwards!

These boards were very expensive ($2K), so an immediate respin was not possible.

I had to design a set of contacts to be able to flip the connector upside-down and make the electrons go in the right way.

The joke from that point forward was that I was great at multi-GHz designs but should not be trusted with DC circuits.
I tried to buy a guest post on TechCrunch.com
The idea of a VC firm investing in something because the founders are just swell fellas isn't easily acceptable as a premise. If you're prompting a move fast and break things culture, you can't then excuse your mediocrity with a "new take on old things" excuse. Pick a lane.
Horrifying. AI just makes stuff up, meaning that these police reports will have false information that could result in prison time.
IMO, it would be easier to use a more feature-complete password manager like Bitwarden.

Then all your non-technical family members can use it like a commercial app while you can
Use the CLI or whatever open source tool you want to interact with it.

In my opinion, encryption inside git repositories is an anti-pattern that usually results in headaches.
MikroTik also has a number of cheap devices and I have several of their "discontinued" products that are over a decade old that I'm still updating.

Their releases aren't really for _a_ device, but for a CPU architecture/chipset, so I don't know that I've actually run across any device that went unsupported before I replaced it anyway for reasons of wanting faster networking (i.e., 10/100 -> 1000; 802.11bgn -> 802.11n -> 802.11ac).

Many of them are also supported by OpenWRT.
Unless these devices would auto-update, it also doesn't matter one bit. Sure HN users might go in and update their router, but the majority of users doesn't.

Whoever, because the are routers, that users will install and forget about, how are they even suppose to be made aware that these are end of life? D-Links, and other producers of consumer hardware, seems to think that it's fine to just EOL their products and say "go buy a new one". Being D-Link should be much harder than being Cisco. At least Cisco can assume that their customers are keeping up with product information, patches and so on. What is D-Links plan for informing users that their product is no longer secure? I don't think they have one and that pretty irresponsibility because they should know that the majority of their customers aren't all that technically savvy.

I don't know if D-Link devices automatically pulls update, my guess is that they don't, but there should at least be a on device indicator that this device is now EOL and should be used at the customers own risk. It fine to say that a device is EOL and no more updates will be made available, but they need to indicate to the customers that these devices are now at risk.

I was just a kid for most of the 2000s, but I was a user of the internet since way earlier than I should probably have been. Around that time is when I remember it kinda declining too, the forums that I frequented started getting closed down and my classmates uploaded photos with me in them to this newfangled "Facebook" thing, which horrified my "never say your real name on the internet" sensibilities.

Yes.

IIRC, primarily they theorised that Apple would take the view that applications would be ported quickly enough there wouldn't be a need for one. I will try and dig some of them up but searching old videos and podcasts is painful.
Yeah, but then it's a completely different app.

On Android, you can even combine Intenty and one-sec.
Can you point me to that HVLP gun for under $20. I have purchased two different ones for ~$100 each and they make this list of "things I regret"

I also subscribe to the buy cheap, if you use it alot and it's not working out buy a much better model. I've done that for years and have a hodgepodge of brands that make me happy. The only exception is battery powered tools, I did some research, decided that Dewalt would be a good choice. I didn't want to have 10 different kinds of battery packs around, so picked the battery ecosystem and went from there.

And when I buy a wood chipper, my Fujifilm printer will be the first thing through it. I have wasted more time and supplies to get pictures that look like a 2 year old colored it. So sad.
Typical deauth attacks are prevented, sure. However, clients are not protected until the 4-way handshake is complete, so that can still be interrupted. There are also a number of management frame types (and all control frames) that are not protected, some of which are just as effective, if not more effective, at DoS than deauth frames are.

From time to time I'm looking into ketogenic diet and find it always inspiring how others manage carb and fat. I try to avoid carbs and if I eat them I always try to get my body moving, be it a light walk (so, not exactly practising full keto..). Main meal for me is dinner... I like how digestion and energy restoration is taking place mainly at night's rest. I don't experience problems falling asleep when giving my body food it needs. I'm usually not bothered by feelings of hunger til late afternoon (intermittent fasting so to speak, fat goes a long way..).
Most important habit for good sleep seems to be "lay down, don't touch phone".. Hope this inspires, too :)

The Cucuteni–Trypillia megasites in Ukraine appear to predate the Mesopotamian ones by a few centuries, though they didn't have writing (apparently).
One particularly fascinating aspect of this essay is the comparison between human motor learning and robotic dexterity development, particularly the concept of “motor babbling.” The author highlights how babies use seemingly random movements to calibrate their brains with their bodies, drawing a parallel to how robots are being trained to achieve precise physical tasks. This framing makes the complexity of robotic learning, such as a robot tying shoelaces or threading a needle, more relatable and underscores the immense challenge of replicating human physical intelligence in machines. For me it is also a vivid reminder of how much we take our own physical adaptability for granted.
Do you want to address the actual points instead of picking on my word choice?
I think so. Also half of the people don't have children and/or have a lot of free time. I am not even talking about responding to emails/family chat.

How do they do 2-factor auth to Heroku/Gitlab/whatever? Maps in a foreign country where you can't even read the letters? On way to job interview when the interviewer has an emergency and needs to postpone? Good friend is in the town and calls you to hang out? Translation when a tourist comes to ask where something is?
