The earlier Z80-based RML 380Z and 480Z machines from the same company were interesting as well. They were said to be the only computers designed to work with a boiled sweet shoved in the disk drive. They ran MP/M and CP/NET (effectively networking for CP/M).
That (anti)feature is called attestation, and it really does exist for the sole purpose of letting websites lock users into Big Tech ecosystems.

The FIDO spec for security keys supports attestation as well. It makes sense; an enterprise might want to limit employee authentication to specific hardware that it has vetted, or another company might have determined that the supply chain for a specific brand or model of security key wasn't hardened enough for their threat model.

You, as an individual, might not want the relying party to be able to use this information when deciding whether to authenticate you. But authentication is a dialogue, not a monologue.

Attestation might allow the lock-in you fear, but that's absolutely not its primary purpose.
I’m not sure it is bad to filter out people from the potential leadership pool that aren’t invested in the culture and style Dell wants. They get the best of both worlds - strong ICs who weren’t bought in and are going to job hop anyways, and self-selected people who want to rise in the company.

I’d prefer this as a filter to the old school “first in, last to leave” bullshit.

I was the one caught red handed fwiw.
Remotely related to something I was wondering yesterday: outside of 'house rules'-type variations, are there major changes to common games that are viable, popular and catalogued somewhere? e.g., add a few pieces and turn Monopoly into a zombie horde game, or change Scrabble into a dungeon crawler or Uno into a space RPG.

> Brame, Turner, Paternoster, and Bushway (2012) recently investigated the arrest experience of a national sample of American youth and found that 25–41% of those youth reported having been arrested or taken into custody for a nontraffic offense by age 23.

> Assuming the missing cases are missing at random, about 30% of black males have experienced at least one arrest by age 18 (vs. about 22% for white males); by age 23 about 49% of black males have been arrested (vs. about 38% for white males). Earlier research using the NLSY showed that the risk of arrest by age 23 was 30%
> WoW broke for me when cross-realm play was introduced. Prior to that, you gained a reputation on your server, so poor behavior was kept (somewhat) in check, and "randoms" you grouped with were therefore a) more willing to listen and follow alternative approaches, and b) worth teaching, because you knew you were likely to see them again. Complete anonymity removed the social contracts that made the game special.

I was just talking with my wife this morning about how different dungeons are now compared to back then, and how we'd be unlikely to wind up together if it were to happen today in modern WoW. She and I met while playing WoW back in Wrath; she played a paladin tank and was looking for a healer to heal a dungeon with her and her friends. I played a resto shaman at the time and decided to join them. We all ended up chatting so much that we added each other to our friend lists and started running dungeons together regularly. One thing lead to another and now we're happily married — 15 years later and still playing the game together.

I've been leveling some alts via dungeons recently, and the sense of community you get when you're in dungeons is completely gone. People do not talk to each other at all, there is zero communication. They are in and out of there as quickly as possible, no time for talking, no time for "hello."

The same is doubly true for LFR. 25 people in a raid and nobody talks to each other. If you're not at the boss by the time everyone else is, they're not waiting for you and they're going to pull. If you caused a wipe, you're going to get kicked from the group and replaced. They're just there to get loot for their alts and queue for the next wing of the raid.
> Everyone is busy, mostly with work (also, most people probably can’t afford the same things you can)

I would think if one were rich, and you knew who you wanted to spend time with, you could simply buy their time through various means. Pay some bills, get them a more relaxed job with more time, pay for vacations for them to go with you etc.

Yes, CLAs are abusive, IMO. If I do work for free, I own the copyright (unless my company does, but that's another story). There is no way I give it for free to the organisation that manages the upstream project. Developers should not sign CLAs.

But that has nothing to do with the licence itself (be it AGPL or something else).

Ask HN: Best headless CMS for a developer portal
I haven't really worked with a CMS since peak WordPress ten-plus years ago. Coming back to this and needing to create a developer portal to document complex API integrations for our clients I am looking for an open-source headless CMS that isn't going to make me pull my hair out. I want to self-host it as I have AWS and Azure available to me at work. Any suggestions for a modern CMS that you enjoyed using?

I can't comment on Dell specifically, but as someone who WFH and remote friendly companies, the vast majority of people not working from the office are people who moved for more affordable housing (mostly purchasing, not for renting).

I'd have loved to stay and live near our nice offices and biked or short drive to work, but it literally wasn't affordable and just got worse over the 10 years I was in-office.

You reach an age where you have make a decision on these life choices and so WFH/remote it was. It wasn't really a choice when no company would pay enough to afford a home near their offices (married with children) - so sorry/not sorry?
It was pretty specific that the pages were themselves gold sheets with the writings being tiny engravings. If that were true the most logic reason would be high tactility. As the most tactile substance known it can be hammered to within 6 atoms thick before tearing, though it also means gold warps and bends with low effort. When hammered thin enough it can resemble a fabric and with modern equipment can be thinned into a fully transparent electrostatic film.
I agree, and in the US banks are already liable if an unauthorized person gains access to your funds. But what I'm saying is that most of the scams that OP is talking about just aren't done that way. It's just a scammer that tricks them into sending money.

It's just old fashioned con man stuff but over email or phone. And of you're dumb enough to believe that the only way the IRS (US tax agency) is willing to accept payment is by Visa gift card (and yes this is actually a common scam here) it's just not your bank's problem.

The next level is also a pyramid level - aka - competition and stack rank and often political. A lot of people cannot be bothered with petty politics.
Supply-chains are more complicated than merely the unit price. Things like existing stock, talent, software, product design, certifications (both chip and products based on chip), and hundreds of other things play just as substantial role.

It’s really not. It may be extremism, but it’s not threatening or using violence against civilians for political means.

Wat? Left-wing guerillas are all over the Americas, Africa and Asia. We just don’t have a lot of them right now in America.
The truly essential people who want to WFH will just ignore the directive and their managers will cover for them. I assume they don't show up in this 50%.

The rest are literally calling Dell's bluff that any potential promotion would be less valuable (monetary or well-being). Good on them!
That old Windows 3.1 GUI looks so much more intuitive, efficient, and usable compared to what we've got today.

https://wuffs.org/user/pages/02.blog/windows-3x-graphics/640...

What would Win11 even look like on a lower-resolution display such as in TFA?

The Win11 Start Menu is borderline unusable beyond typing in a keyword and praying to the circuits. What happened?

Naive hypothesis: Windows NT and 2k hit a sweet spot, then product managers have been working their magic ever since.

KDE and Gnome are looking more and more appealing over time, despite not changing much. :)
It's more that vendor neutral is a sweet spot for me. AGPL, as well as GPL for a library rather than something that works well as a standalone application, brings it closer into what feels to me like no software vendor territory - one where you find something else to sell (vend) other than software, like Stallman musing about choosing to be a waiter rather than have any non-free software:

> Well, the most simple alternative was to leave the software field, do something else. Now a lot of programmers say to me, 'the employers hiring programmers demand that I do this -- if I don't do this I will starve.' Now, that's silly. Anybody can leave the field of programming. Even in the US, there are millions of people who make a living not by writing software. I have no other special skills, nothing else that I'm particularly good at. But I'm sure I could have become a waiter. (Now, maybe I couldn't be a waiter at one of the fanciest restaurants.) There is nothing unethical about being a waiter. And there is one thing -- you are not going to starve.

The advantage of the world being a village is that you no longer have to have extreme paranoia over everyone who isn't from your village.

It turns out that in a world of "people forced to leave the village to live a new life free from the consequences of their prior deeds", the main reason people would try to start living in a new village was because they had done something that made them no longer welcome with all the people they knew before.

One oft-understated advantage of an explicit noble class is that it provides a medium for verifying "this person really is traveling for legitimate reasons".
Agreed: don't sign a CLA!

But then following this philosophy, shouldn't you favour copyleft licenses, too? Because if it's permissive, they can suddenly go proprietary without caring "much" about copyrights, right?

I have come to these rules:

- Never sign a CLA.

- In my projects, the "most permissive" licence I use is MPLv2 (which is weak copyleft). When I release OSS software, there is absolutely no point in using a permissive license: MPLv2 should be fine for everybody. Of course sometimes I like the GPL family, and recently I've come to like the EUPL.

Do people enjoy this crap being put into every fkin discussion on this site? Because I sure as hell have my tank full.
It depends on what it means for the workers. I can see Dell being the place that wants everyone grinding hard (whether they actually do is another matter).

So Dell may view these employees as those disengaged and just there for a paycheck.
Probably more about ecosystem compatibility at this point. There are already RISC-V chips that sell for less than a 6502.

This is a real shame.

BLE and ANT+ are fundamentally different, the latter being a broadcast protocol. You can have any number of devices connected/logging the broadcast of an ANT+ device, while BLE is usually limited to one or two devices. I am sure is not a fundamental limitation of BLE but is the reality for the currently available chipsets.

The fact that it is unencrypted is completely irrelevant.

My heart rate data over a short period of time is not useful to anyone but myself, and that is the only personal data any of my ANT+ devices broadcast.

Unless you consider cadence to be personal information but that is also broadcasted to the world visually and is no more secret than the colour of my running or cycling shorts.

The rest of my devices broadcast mechanical, device status and/or environmental data.
Thank you for sharing. This is a wonderful experiment and I think this concept has a lot of potential.
Individuals cannot "press charges", nor can the police. Only a state/federal government attorney can file charges against someone.

A person or police officer might recommend some action to a DA, but it's completely up to their discretion what to do with that information.

I look at it a bit directly. I shoot with a canon d6 mark 2 dslr regularly on trips up north and hiking and have spent way too much money on this stuff. While the dslr with a 200-400mm lens is superior for stuff like polar bears (yellowish white on usually low contrast backgrounds) at a safe distance, my iPhone 16 can in a single shot get a great family photo or wide angle nature shot thanks to whatever optics and processing magic it has. For similar I’d have to expend a lot of effort with the dslr and raw editing after.

Probably if they were actually going to do much of that.

My prediction is a big show, lots of tough talk for the xenophobes in the base, some criminals and egregious public assistance cases get gone, a few raids on Tyson Foods (or whoever doesn't contribute or support the administration) and not much more. Amnesty pretty quick by this admin or the next.

They want the working people here too. More tax base, more "motivated" workers.
Oh, it absolutely is. AFAICT it's universal for "experts" (whatever that means) in any given field.

(Self-referentially: Even for me... So take what I said above with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure this has solid research behind it.)
PoC means "point of care" in this context?

COVID was such a waste of a catastrophe. We all briefly figured out that maybe people who work at a computer all day don't actually need to travel every day to a special computer in a special building. And that we don't need mass tourism and mass migration.

But everyone was determined to learn absolutely nothing from it, and just go back to normal but even worse.
I guess it's partly because this dropped during the new year's period when most tech folks are not near their screens. And also partially because of the "Apple brigade" making sure this doesn't go too far.

Really sad, I hope we get it back on the front page when most folks are back online, it helps paint a picture of what this company is really all about.
As a Principal engineer, I would refuse to RTO and would look for another position or do the same and continue WFH if it's rewarding enough.

Most of the Staff/Principal engineers around you are not there because they don't have other (sometimes much better on the face of it) opportunities - we're here because of inertia and realm expertise.
Which one do you use? Is the battery all day, if not what do you do when the battery dies? (swap batteries? wait and recharge each day?). Has the camera ever saved you? Do people ever feel uncomfortable interacting with you filming them?
Yeah, pretty much.

What I haven't even considered is that although there's a few cases where your immediate community can work together on stuff like this, an actual collapse leads to a power vacuum and breakdown of supply chains, so your immediate community needs to not only be self-sufficient for food but also defence from looting, and yet somehow also not important enough for to the original government to try to keep running, nor for any warlords who spring up in the vacuum to try to pillage, and also not for any foreign powers to peace-keep or annex.

Hmm, I wonder: if the USA suddenly collapsed as hard as the USSR, would Mexico and the Texas region start fighting? Or Cuba and the Florida region?
Well, docs have seen this coming from miles away. I don't think anyone having substantial experience in clinical medicine is surprised by those developments, unfortunately. But it doesn't stop here. Insurance companies will be (are) building models to overcome legal barriers. Imagine: you're 20 and healthy, but located somewhere suggesting a higher risk of developing some chronic disease in the future ? Then no insurance covering this particular condition, for you specifically. A real-world application of the 'fuck you in particular' meme. This of course extends to all sorts of sensitive matters, such as your ethnicity, sexual preferences, etc.

Now this is a really scary application of AI, but you won't hear those wanting AI regulation such as Musk complain about that, right?
Anything open-source can't really itself be a product, so you have to look at it from an incentives perspective. Companies open-source stuff like React so that the pool of capable developers for an internally-developed but, publishable tool can keep up with turnover, presumably without the expense of 6 months of onboarding.

I think that either condition, though, is probably monetization; either an upsell to more layers, or a downsell to the O'Reilly book...

Having recently gone through this trying to get into React ecosystem, but avoiding the most common frameworks, `create-react-app` has docs that sort of seem like a tutorial but rapidly spirals into random advertisements, since it's pretty simple and not really a React tutorial; in-fact Meta apparently disavowed the whole thing, but it still seems to work OK.

It seems natural, incentives and open-source are tricky though, since if you're trying to simply compete rather than collaborate, it will be counterintuitive.

In fact (you mention Next.js) React itself almost immediately spirals off into advertisements for 'supporting technologies' like some of the popular React-focused frameworks.

Maybe you can read either condition as, "Oh; this part doesn't do that" or "Oh; maybe I need to read the source code to understand" or an invitation to collaborate, rather than as a design flaw.
With HIPAA you have to track and store the information every person who touches or reads the medical chart. The issue was more to do with random people reading medical charts.

It isn't difficult to bring the process into compliance. I offered to make an app which would have been easy because there was a predefined workflow that can be diagrammed on a sequence chart in about 10 steps. There were a couple interactions between the lawyer and the doctor. Then a step where the insurance company is notified. Then a lawsuit filed if not paid. At one point, I was researching how to store data in HIPAA compliance in the cloud. It was about 2 years later when AWS provided HIPAA compliant EC2 instances. I offered to build the app for $10,000. Having random people pour over private medical charts and undocumented and haphazard communication between the lawyers, insurance company, and doctors through email and text messages was a mess.
WFH was the best thing to come out of COVID.
I think this will just encourage the further replacement of American citizens with H-1B's from India who will do whatever upper management demands, because they have no choice.
