Finally! About time. Thank you, Sonos, for doing the right thing eventually. As an owner of several thousand dollars' worth of Sonos equipment, I swore I'd never buy another piece again unless Patrick was gone AND they rolled back the app. At least we have one of the two now. The new app is still flaky, unfortunately, but not as bad as it was a few months ago. I still get random disconnections and errors, and some features still don't work like it used to.

I hope the new CEO creates a new culture there.

Aren't every firefox user using newpipe or other yt frontends on mobile?

I mean if you care enough to not use the default mobile browser, surely you found out about newpipe and the myriad of other youtube frontends.
Not ever having to deal with partitions and instead using data sets each of which can have their own properties such as compression, size quota, encryption etc is another benefit. Also using zfsbootmenu instead of grub enables booting from different datasets or snapshots as well as mounting and fixing data sets all from the bootloader!
Thanks this is an awesome resource! Especially to get into hardware hacking without getting lost in case studies... It looks super beginner friendly too
> the scammer in the call center is choosing that over thousands of other options.

No, they're the people who don't have other options (because they lack the skills and/or qualifications and/or are discriminated against). It's not malice, it's just desperation to get money to live on (or, often, to provide for people who depend on them). But of course the end result is the same.

> The rest of your comment is totally irrational fear-based speculation.

Entirely rational given the historical pattern of behaviour shown by the Israeli military, and the fact that they have no reason to change (quite the opposite).
I haven't seen any bugs on Firefox mobile + uBlock Origin + Android + Pixel 4a 5g (I hate upgrading phones, sue me).

The only glitch I reliably get is watching videos at 1.5x sometimes freezes video (but audio still plays). Expect that's more hardware and memory pressure related tho.

Also, I wasn't aware YouTube mobile has ads? I think uBlock might be eating them. Although possibly whatever is lagging others experiences too...
Yikes. I am very, very lucky to do fulfilling and meaningful work at a place that values me, with people who are a pleasure to work with. But from what I hear this is the exception and not the rule. Knowing this is possible, however, I'm not as scared by the job search as I once was, since I know that when I someday decide to look for my next job, I'll know more of the qualities of the places I want to work at.

For me the key seems to be getting out of the corporate world, away from companies with a singular focus on profit-making and competition and the endless feature churn, corporate ladder climbing, disruptive managerial edicts to change horses midstream, ridiculous metrics to meet, and the inevitable burnout that environment seems to create. Has anyone else had similar (or contradictory) experiences?

I wrote an article on how to resolve ink blobs smearing onto a page for Epson Expression printers years ago - just based on the people who've written me (which is just a fraction of the number that have found and viewed the page), I've extended the life of many Epson printers.
A tiny amount is turned to coal (often via forest fires) which then isn't returned to the cycle. We are talking about -0.1C over thousands of years though, if we otherwise went carbon neutral - which seems unlikely for the long tail of small users but if we get the major uses of fossil fuels to something carbon neutral that would get us very close to stopping global warming at least.

Look at what you and PG run here, friend.

Who are you defending? Who are you denigrating?

Who are you preventing from replying to those attacking them?

Are you hiding behind your "algorithms"? Who sets those algorithms, people with compassion?

Look at the organization you are "just following orders" for. Your organization is facilitating the Trumpization of America, with its ignorance and promotion of oppression and environmental destruction. And, behind it all, is a sole concern for money, period.

And now PG has come out as a full-blown ignoramus. I guess that's ok for you so long as those checks clear, huh?

You could be positively affecting the world by helping me teach compassion, but there's no class on compassion in the MBA curriculum, and that's the only Bible an YC company can preach, right?

We are all choosing sides, every day, Dan. Don't follow the losers of the world in their selfish, apathetic, and callous worship of money, my friend.

I guess Nazis can just post whatever they want as long as they couch their views in the proper verbiage, huh? There is no civil discourse with Nazis, Dan. There is no tolerating the intolerant; that's a destructive policy. Take a stand for what is right, or stand on the side of the losers. There is no other path.

Now we know why PG has set the algorithms the way y'all have. His loser mentality has enshittified this place, and all his good soldiers have followed in lock-step, haven't you?

"Wake up!" --Zach de la Rocha
A saying explains this as it's because the market keeps surging, is it true?
No need to hypothesise, it's been calculated:

https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/imported-or-exported-co-e...

China is essentially importing ~1 GT of emissions, and the USA is essentially exporting 0.56 GT of emissions.

The USA would emit about 10% more and China about 10% less if all manufacturing was local; but that would mean the USA per capita emissions would go up to 16.5 tons per capita from 14.9, while the Chinese per capita emissions would go down to about 7.2 from about 8 tons per capita. (Assuming I read the charts correctly).

I aver that none of this matters either, because all of us need to get down to "approximately none" and this kind of thing is just playing a nationalist version of the "no you" game.
Just move so fast that the legal system cannot hold you accountable.
If I may make a suggestion for those who wish to show discontent: hang the flag. Not a weird one with black stripes or something, fly the actual US flag with pride and respect. Do it knowing that someone who stands near the flag is not the same as someone who stands for what our flag stands for.
All you need now is white-out :)
What does this have to do with job engagement? ZIRP was coming to an end in the years prior to 2020, and that was associated with rising job engagement, but there was a huge interest rate spike in 2022 but that was associated with falling job engagement.
> That's exactly an n-th example of why this non-commercial clause is bogus since the very beginning of CC, and particularly unadapted for software code: no one is able to define clearly what commercial means, and what perimeter it applies to.

Agree with you on this one and I'd go step further: CC licences in general are poor fit for software.

> Selling anything unrelated to the code and the running app (say, oranges), but using the app to organise privately within a corporation? (you could be a shop owner installing the software for yourself and your team within your own building)

CC disagree with that interpretation: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpre... (also https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Defining_Noncommercial).

Excerpt (that I think is most relevant, but it's definitely a nuanced issue):

> uses by for-profit companies are typically considered more commercial [...] one exception to this pattern is in relation to uses by individuals that are personal or private in nature

Based on this, I think the common agreement would be that this is commercial use.

> how would it be even enforceable?

That's not a point for ignoring the license. If you download pirated movies, games, or other software, it's very unlikely you'll get caught, but you're still committing a crime.

However in this case, it actually can be enforcable. If the organization is eg. a startup that raises venture funding or is getting acquired, legal due dilligence will involve examination of all licences for software used.
I want to believe.

But is this really still possible in todays world?

Isn't there competition from the thousands of software devs laid off in last couple years. They can all make apps.

Just like the Flappy Bird guy. Sure, it was big hit, but so easy to have a hundred knock offs within a week.
I use linux because it's much easier than fixing Windows. I lost interest in tinkering with my computer years ago.
No, private consumers have a choice, since Linux and FreeBSD runs well on their hardware. Microsoft is too busy shoveling their crappy AI and convincing OEMs to put a second Windows button (the CoPilot button) on their keyboards.

Agreed. It would be ironic if it wasn't literally the exact same arc that every single company in this industry goes through.

* Scrappy upstart catches the industry off guard
* Wild success and growth
* Becomes bloated, unable to innovate, and addicted to its cash cow
* Begins turning the screws on its users to appease shareholders
That's quite surprising to me as an 8GB Intel MacBook owner who currently has Discord, Firefox, VS Code, Outlook, Photoshop, Illustrator, Unity, and Blender open. Only very rarely (once a month?) does macOS smack me on the hand for getting too greedy, and the rest of the time it pulls some virtual memory witchcraft to keep things chugging along smoothly.
This is such a shit propaganda article that gets everything wrong. They talks about "Netflix" being an example. Netflix is a massive provider and has the power to sway ISPs.

Network neutrality has always been about the small guy. It is dead in a sense. The State of Washington has network neutrality laws on the books, but they didn't stop Hurricane Electric from literally shutting off all routes to a controversial website whose name is associated with a fruit.

Network Neutrality is about small PeerTube instances getting the same priority and quality of service on the same communication lanes as the Mega-sites like YouTube and Rumble.

Network neutrality is dead because people have stopped self-hosting, stopped hobbying and all the smaller sites that host controversial content that need this protection most, are shunned by the political views of major players and employees in the tech sphere.
Tell us you have no idea how an operating theater works without telling us. Or you're a PI attorney looking to invent a case. There is an anesthesiologist present when general is given. And, had you actually read for comprehension before knee jerking, there was another surgeon present. Further, surgeons don't usually just stroll out of a surgery because if something does go wrong, "explain why you were out of the room when my client was dying" isn't something you want to be asked in the inevitable lawsuit. So...just no. More importantly, the insurance company claiming the procedure isn't necessary has far more implications for the doctor and the hospital than "rich surgeon might not get another boat". But don't let a big old pile of not knowing what you're talking about get in the way of your manufactured outrage.
> This means you would need to plant almost 1000 trees for each person (assuming roughly US/EU emission level) to compensate for current emissions only, every 20 years. That just seems infeasible to me

That’s 50 trees each year for each person, or, in the USA, about 17 billion trees, for a total new forest of 340 billion trees.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/20... says the USA has about 280 billion trees, so we’d ‘only’ have to grow that by 120%. That would grow forest in the USA from about 33% to about 75% of land area.

Infeasible, but not completely impossible, I would think, from a ‘could we do it?’ viewpoint. ‘Is there a decent chance we’ll do that?’ probably has the answer “no”, though. For the USA, I guess cutting combining forestation with decreasing energy usage would be the easier option.
> I wonder if the culture here is different than the U.S.?

There's definitely going to be cultural differences between the US and wherever you're located, but be careful not to generalize too much from one comment you read on the Internet.
I don't want to generalize it but as soon as you said "if the culture here is different than the U.S" I thought "Okay yep that's why."

I don't even know if it counts as culture, but the US inevitably seems to have such a refined sense of litigation and, insurance mindset for lack of a better term?

Anecdotally, schools are indeed a prime example, we had cooking classes in high school that were stopped because of the costs to insure for it.

Show HN: PgDog, Load Balancer for PostgreSQL
Hi HN,

Another month on sabbatical, another Rust project for y'all to have fun with. This time, I decided
to write a load balancer for PostgreSQL. It's called pgDog, and it's everything I learned about running
Postgres at scale, in form of software.

pgDog can proxy hundreds of databases, split traffic between primaries and replicas, and reroute
queries around hosts experiencing problems, like hardware failure. It speaks Postgres, so much like pgbouncer,
and its "spiritual predecessor", PgCat, it can pool transactions and allow tens of thousands of clients to use one database.

Support for more exciting features like sharding is on the roadmap, and with its very own plugin system, pgDog can be customized
to arbitrarily send queries to any database in its configuration (or even block queries and return custom results).
The plugins are shared libraries loaded at runtime, so they can
be written in any language that can expose a C ABI, e.g. Rust, C++, Zig, Java, Go, Ruby, Python, etc.

Documentation is on https://pgdog.dev. The project is of course free and open source software.

Cheers!

P.S. It's still early days, so if you decide to give pgDog a try in your infra, do run a few load tests first!
Looking forward to this! SpaceX needs to feel domestic competition.
Well, when you put it like that, it sounds pretty fluffy.

I was the administrator of a GitHub Enterprise Server instance back in 2015-2016 (I think 2014 too).

Rock-solid stability, for a company with 300+ microservices, 10+ big environments, 50+ microenvironments, who knows how many Jenkins pipelines (more than 900, I’ll tell you that). We deployed several times a day, each service on average had 3 weekly deployments.

As a company, I think GitHub (public) should do better, much better, given this is happening more frequently as of late, but if big companies (even medium ones) don’t have their own package caches, they are all in for a ride.

At a previous Startup we had GitHub + GitHub Actions, and we were on AWS. We setup some OCI images cache. Sure, if GitHub went down we could not deploy new stuff, but at least it wouldn’t take us down. If we really needed the pipelines, I suppose we could have setup some backup CLI or AWS CodePipeline (eww) workflows.

Ask HN: What is your definition of luxury?
I believe everyone has a different way to define luxury is and it doesn't necessarily mean money. For me, it's having the collection of books and having the time to read it

I would love to know how you (would like to) define it.
Maybe, but the problem I see with HAM is that no interesting discussion is allowed to happen in the first place. Between the legal rules, cultural rules, and the expectation to avoid niche topics that would bore out 90% of participants, there's hardly anything left to talk about.
This distinction seems to be an untraversable chasm for the prigs PG is talking about.

Anyone (whether I already respect them or not) comes to me and asks me to refer to them by a specific name or term, I'll gladly do it.

Someone comes and accuses me of being an -ist or -phobe because I didn't put my pronouns or link to the latest iteration of a corporate-speak diversity policy in my email signature or just tells me to do it without explanation or discussion, and I'll tell them to pound sand.

If that person cared to ask why I don't put them in my email signature, I'd gladly tell them that I might have if anyone bothered to ask nicely and/or explain the merit of their request but ultimately I don't care one whit what pronouns someone uses to describe me and am well aware the corporation I work for doesn't actually stand for anything in the aforementioned statement. But the prigs won't ask.
thank you and great suggestion. i'll work on making shareable links look better
"Standing in the shoulders of giants is for losers! I will instead crane my neck and fail to see much of anything."
My personal favorites:

- Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (Martin Fowler) - early-mid 2000s and it stays valuable to this day. It's nice to have a formalized view of concepts you know in practice.

- Clean Architecture (Robert Martin) - Great application architecture concepts being formalized

- Designing Data Intensive Applications (Martin Kleppmann) - Fantastic perspective on your application's data. This is probably the most recommended book I've seen on Hacker News.

- SQL Performance Explained (Markus Winand) - Just a killer, concise book to make you truly understand basic DB performance, specifically with indexes. I've met so many developers (myself included before this book) who thought any index will work and then they'd just wing it. Your RDBMS has tools for finding the best optimizations in your queries and you should use them. Your indexes are also more picky than you may think, but they're also incredibly fast if you place them correctly. It's a lot easier to see once you understand.

It certainly doesn't help that we're being told every day that AI is coming for our jobs and, by-and-large, it appears that is true. Even if AI isn't technically capable of completely replacing us, CEOs are making it true by refusing to hire[^1] and reducing workforces as much as possible. Despite that the companies we are working for are recording record profits.

UBI is a nonstarter and the entire country is unprepared for this new future we're creating. What exactly is there to be excited about?

> You can stop once you’ve stabilized co2. It buys time for building out a solar power base and develop carbon removal tech.

That presupposes that we're going to build out the PV and develop carbon removal.

I hope we will, but it does presuppose it: if this were false, then the costs go up each year because the CO2 only gets stabilised when all the fossil fuels get burned.

> We need to buy time.

Agreed.

Part of the problem is a lack of a feedback channel that pushes back against the worst tranche of ads. It is one of these situations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty_Model

where you have no "Voice".

At home we were talking about food ads on Youtube. Sure, once in a while you see an ad for a meal box that is actual food but I see a lot of ads for things like Huel which float in this strange space where it's not "I used to eat bread and meat and vegetables and now I drink all my meals" but where it's normal to drink your meals (they pose as if they were trying to persuade you to switch from some other meal replacement), where you have to work just as hard taking supplements every day as you would work lifting weights or not eating junk food -- there's McDonald's and there are ultra-processed foods, but this is ridiculous.

(A friend of mine received a huge quantity of 4Patriots dried food from his mom who was sucked in by some ad that claimed it was on sale because they made too much. We got some and the smell when my son made it turned my stomach.)

In terms of sponsorships there was the "Established Titles" scandal; I am a big fan of Ryan Szymanski who's a world authority on battleships. One day he got bribed to make a video about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapa_Flow

which was a good reason to talk about battleships and Scotland. Pretty soon he's adding a cringy pitch to all his videos and unfortunately it is so hard to give somebody like the right kind of "tough love" which will set him straight, although after the scandal popped most of the people involved went back to remove the junk.

Is it the actual task they dislike or the fact there is no care or consideration for workers as human beings? I imagine many would enjoy their jobs a lot more if you had less focus on what is seemingly productive behaviour, aka coming into an office for no reason, working more hours than paid for, doing exactly what your boss says, not taking holiday and so on, and actually started being allowed to take care of themselves to allow themselves the opportunity to be more fulfilled across their whole life. Get rid of those staff who believe doing everything you can for the company is all that matters, and you will see more enthusiastic workers with better output.
