> If you code, you should be building a business on the side.

This is incredibly far from being the universal claim you say it is. 99% of software developers work for someone else, not at their own business, and most are perfectly happy.

By all means, building a business is great for many reasons, sometimes including financial reasons, and you should do it if you want to. But not wanting to is not an "excuse" and you shouldn't feel pressured to do so.

My gripe with proton and linux gaming is GPU drivers — on Windows, I have AMD Adrenaline software where I can undervolt the GPU and adjust performance for every game individually. This drastically cuts power consumption, noise and temperature levels, especially for newer games played in 144hz or 4k. Is there a way to adjust the same things on Linux, preferably without restarting anything and messing about in the terminal?
Psychological Obstacles to Metacognition
Everyone has to be onboard before the switch can be made, and not everyone is happy about the somewhat messy solution of running dual-stack RSA+Ed25519 setups in the interim - it's a bit different than e.g. supporting multiple methods for key exchange or multiple ciphers for symmetric crypto. It's just one of those things that take time to happen.
Tangent: is it possible to use a Garmin watch without turning Bluetooth on on my phone and still get the data synced somehow?
To add to what others have posted... Activity (i.e. running, walking, cycling, etc.) FIT files are found in the GARMIN/Activity directory on the watch after connecting it to a computer over USB. File names are date time stamps.
So you are arguing for exactly what? You don’t want freedom of speech? You don’t want body autonomy? You want authoritarian control of the populace?

> But without additional protection steps, the users can be signed up for services that they didn't request and MS tools will automatically confirm such signups.

Indeed it's a bad thing but how bad?

The admins of some web service get a database of emails, send them those registration links, make their mail software create the accounts and? They end up with a service with accounts that they could create without sending those emails, before they send some emails to solicit users to perform some action on their (long forgotten?) account. There is no additional threat unless I'm missing something.

The admins have only an extra thin layer of protection because of the confirmation step but I think that any court can see through it.
This makes me hopeful that more online games will be pushed to supporting Linux. Most recently it has been very surprising to find out that Marvel Rivals is making sure they support Linux gamers. Unfortunately there's still a lot of high profile games that won't run on Linux, the most notable examples for me being League of Legends and Fortnite. These games have huge communities, and their games are already available on other platforms, so it's not like they're designed with platform exclusivity in mind. Honestly, Linux gaming has been an outstandingly positive experience for me.
How does this improve on w3c standard of xforms + CSS?
This isn't true. And while you're welcome to disagree with me, I've never seen anyone refer to it this way outside of this HN thread.

The Oxford dictionary states "income remaining after deduction of taxes and other mandatory charges, available to be spent or saved as one wishes."

Mandatory charges, to most people outside of this HN thread, are their bills and other common expenses. Mortgages, utilities, school and incomes taxes, etc are considered mandatory charges.

I'm not saying this to argue with you. Ya'll are welcome to interpret it how you like. But if you don't consider this perspective, you are going to misunderstand what other people intend to express when they use the term disposable income.
Anyone know or have experience how well supported ECDSA is for DKIM?
For gaming, RetroPie is a cool solution (it doesn't require raspberrypi).

I have a setup using HP Pro Mini 400 G9 that boots directly into EmulationStation. It's perfect for playing with my kid, covering everything from NES to more recent consoles, and also Steam and Minecraft (via https://github.com/minecraft-linux/appimage-builder/releases) if needed. The offline aspect of non-steam games is a big plus for easier parental management too.
I can't find articles in French on this topic at the moment, but my guess is that if Trump sends an aircraft carrier to Greenland and starts mining some rare ore with the authorization of a land owner, Europe would do nothing because legally it would not be possible.

You don't always need to send large armies to de facto conquer vast territories with a tiny population.

Another factor is that the GDP per capita in Greenland is half of what it is in Denmark and a third of USA's GDP per capita. Greenland inhabitants may find the prospect to be under the USA umbrella attractive.
The Magsafe connector on Apple laptops has pogo pins on the cable, plus a magnet to hold them on. I've had machines of all 3 generations. They have mostly been reliable, controlled for the number of cycles. But I have seen the laptop get worn down, and the pins eventually became unreliable on old laptops.

I don't know how that holds up against USB or the previous weird barrel jack thing they used. Magsafe is far more visible than the others.
In fact there is very little difference between plugging the AC side of a single panel into a socket and connecting a set 'the proper way' to your distribution panel. The only difference is overcurrent protection and maybe cable section size. But for single panels this could be a non-issue.

Startup gurus love to preach about “product-market fit”.

But here’s the catch:

Markets are moving targets.

Products are replaceable.

Look, product-market fit remains a crucial piece of the puzzle. A truly exceptional product that solves a real problem is still essential. However without an audience, product-market fit is guesswork. You’re trying to tune an engine with no fuel.

I think the cynic in me says "so what" mostly because dkim as an ancient technology is hardly secure. I don't think we're any less prone to email fakery and spam. I'd be interested to see a possible new solution or a revamping of email as a protocol but that's unlikely. We're more likely to keep it like snail mail as we prioritise different forms of communication. Unfortunately nothing has beat the universal email address on the internet. Here's hoping we come up with a chat standard that sticks and people run a user@server.com chat server where you can communicate from anywhere. Sorry xmpp, you don't count.

Why do you think that is? I’m sure they wouldn’t bother with it if most gamers were fine playing against cheaters.
I have no idea how to interpret your comment. Do you mean just throw an ORM library into your code and never give another thought to persistence issues?

At scale, there will always be challenges with latency, through put, correctness, and cost of persisting and retrieving data that require considering the specifics of your persistence code.

The service I’m describing handles abstracting these persistence concerns so other services can be more stateless and not deal with those issues.
Those figures honestly are worthless for the climate.

What counts is greenhouse emissions per kilowatt-hour.

And Germany's grid is quite dirty in that regard. For example, the largely-nuclear-powered French grid emitted almost 10x less CO2eq per kilo watt hour in december.

Yes, some (many?) Garmins have wifi which it can use to sync activities. For example my Venu 2 supports syncing with Garmin Connect over wifi: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-D93137A9-B374-4...
Yes but it put people out of work by making the people more efficient. As did computers. AGI does not make people more efficient. Even if wealth accrued to the capital holders, it still drive a large demand for higher value human labor.

AGI is just more people. It’s infinite people in the labor market driving wages down to zero.
The fundamental problem is that games require an account... be it Microsoft, Sony or a game specific account.
I haven't looked at what is directly impacted yet, but this is an oversimplification. Assuming it is all Garmin services down, I've personally used my inReach for the following situations that have no real map involvement:

- Coordination of supply drops during multi-day backcountry ski tours.

- Weather updates in the Rocky Mountains where weather can change in an instant.

- Contacting a personal dispatch POC over messaging during an avalanche injury that required SAR without having to hit the SOS button.

Additionally, my wife relies on her inReach mini every day as a safety net as a biologist in remote areas of Colorado. Most people I encounter in the outdoors space rarely use their Garmin for navigation. Instead they use an app akin to onX, Gaia, CalTopo, etc.
Games used to be crisp as hell, and now they run like shit, crash, and take 150gb to download, and 150 years to launch. If we played games for graphics, one of the most popular MMOs wouldn't be based on a browser game from 2002, in fact we wouldn't be playing games we would be playing real life.

Look at what Epic Games did with fortnite. They killed a competitive scene game that ran smooth for turbobloat graphics and skins.

Doom: The Gallery Experience
You don't need to wait for Valve to get this experience today. The HTPC build of Bazzite [1] brings an experience identical to SteamOS to all computers with an AMD or Intel GPU from the past 8 years or so.

It works amazingly well and I can't imagine going back to Windows for a PC that is built only for video games. I use it on my "Gaming HTPC" (Ryzen 3600, Radeon RX6600, Fractal Design Node 202) and it brings a great console experience to my TV, with access to my PC game library, without being locked into a console ecoystem, and without the enormous cruft and user hostility that Windows has you manage these days.

I'm a pretty casual and patient gamer, and for that use case this Steam machine experience is unmatched - despite being built on desktop Linux, it works out of the box and requires zero manual maintenance. For dedicated gaming boxes this Linux user experience is significantly better and easier to use than Windows - we're truly living in the future.

[1]: https://bazzite.gg

[2]: It's built on top of Fedora and Universal Blue, so under the hood it's different from SteamOS which is built on a custom immutable version of Arch Linux. However, that implementation detail is actually almost totally irrelevant if you want to play games since all software is managed by Steam and Flatpak on both systems.

For some reason I love that piece of writing. Many sentences, like

really resonated with my younger self. If course I didn't really think any of this things (like the author didn't), but there's something cathartic in this.

Also I respect the author for just doing what he felt at a time and going along it, even though it is obviously not the best move for one's career. We are not just or jobs. This is also something I aspire to.

I would still like a dedicated handheld Linux device (case in point Gemini PDA) simple because it's neat. GPD MicroPC is still one of my favorite machines in my gadget drawer, but it still has "portable PC" vibes, not "tinkering/hacking device" ones.

My takeaway the last 8 years (living in US) is that most people don't care about the things they claim to care about

My prediction:

If the SteamOS version of the portable gaming handhelds start to outsell the Windows variants because of the lower price, Microsoft will probably offer to subsidize the cost of the Windows 11 license in the handhelds to bring their cost to parity with the SteamOS devices, in exchange for a promise from the manufacturer that the hardware line will not include a SteamOS offering.

Ask HN: How does my ISP know I am making a WhatsApp call?
The MNO Econet Wireless in Zimbabwe has what are termed social media data bundles, these data bundles only work on say Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. When you purchase say the WhatsApp bundle, you get assigned some MBs of data that only works on WhatsApp. You can text, view statuses (even video statuses), download/upload media, etc. However, you cannot make call (either voice or video calls).

If you initiate a call, the call goes through, it will ring for the other person but as soon as they answer, your WhatsApp will be stuck on the "connecting" screen. The same is true for the reverse i.e. if someone else calls you, you get stuck with a "connecting" screen as soon as you answer.

Aside from it being very annoying that my "240MB" of data is apparently unable to make a call on WhatsApp, I am generally curious how they might be doing this, the simplest explanation I have is they limit the bandwidth so much that a call cannot go through.

Whatever method they are using to do it, I imagine it can also be used to "fingerprint" someone. It's not a lot of information, but it can be a useful/helpful data point if coupled with other data.
Those are the people that would not be satisfied with the vibe and would actually detract from it, if they didn't like the facilities.

But sure you go mass appeal and you get a manufactured mass appeal vibe, which on the scale of rave vibes is a 3 or 4 and the scale is exponential.

If you don't know you don't know but it's worth checking it out if you can.

Just for those who don't game on Linux: Proton allows a bunch of games to run perfectly on Linux already. The main blocker for games like League of Legends or competitive shooters is the anti-cheat.

I agree that consistency is important, and also this is the real problem.
There is no perfect architecture.
Needs evolve.
So consistency is a force, but architecture evolution (pushed by new features, for example) is an opposite force.

Balancing the two is not easy, and often if you do not have time, you are forced to drop your strong principles.

Let me do a simple example.

Imagine a Struts2 GUI.

It is possible, for sure, but it can require a lot of effort, and finding the right solution is not easy,

Zuckerberg's framing of this as being about "fact checking" is intentional misdirection. Very little checking of facts was actually happening.

This is about moderation. Specifically, reducing the obstacles to posting racist/misogynist/political abuse amd threats. The objective is to make Facebook acceptable as a platform for the incoming US administration and its supporters, while simultaneously increasing engagement with more inflammatory user-generated content.

So its primarily a demonstration of fealty to Trump and co, with upsides.

Trump and Zuck recently met privately. I do wonder if these changes are, in part, also a quid pro quo for Trump undertaking to continue with the ban on TikTok in the US.
