> You have to act to make a change

I'm on board with this only to the extent of better supporting informed consent. The answer, in my opinion, is never to have someone in charge that believes they know what is best and forces that solution on everyone.

That model is just too fragile, to dehumanizing to the those being mandated to, and too centralizing of authority that can be abused by someone later.
My roast summary with referrer field disabled:

"Brave of you to arrive here directly from nowhere like a digital hermit, flexing 16 CPU cores just to run Edge 132.0.0.0 like it’s a beta-testing crisis hotline—enjoying Wisconsin’s -40° wind chills so much you’ve even got your browser set to "arctic Blink engine." At least your 2560x1440 screen lets you see exactly how lonely that empty referrer field looks."

This is the most fun post/link I've interacted with across social media all week, haha. I'm going to test this from all of me and my SO's personal devices of various form factors. Thanks OP!

## Edit:

Here's the roast from my iPhone SE 3 device on 5G cellular (thinks I'm in Atlanta for some reason, lol):

"Roast: Oh, an iOS 18 beta user in Atlanta—how bold of you to test Apple’s unfinished bugs while flexing that three-core “supercomputer” like Georgia’s tech scene peaked with a fax machine. Your screen’s so tiny (375x667) it makes Hacker News look like a MySpace page, which tracks, since you clearly clicked here mid-procrastination scroll to avoid finishing your side hustle. Congrats on being the NPC who still uses “Mobile Safari” unironically—your cookie-enabled loyalty to Apple is almost as tragic as your referral from a site where everyone’s arguing about TypeScript."

Deeper research pointed to Apple's "Displays" kb page for UIKit Size, and it tracks with my device type, as SE 3 is based on iPhone 8 [0]

Modern heroku. The toolset is standard for web these days (eg docker, etc) but you don’t need to roll your own devops.

It might be hard to understand the value prop because it seems like a commodity… but that’s exactly the value prop: a commodity that works well, is priced right, and you don’t need to worry about using some weird toolset or rolling your own infrastructure.

I think this is an important topic. Not only are we saddled with limiting concept framing with "desktop", we end up with dumb things like deleting by dragging a document to a picture of a trash can. We're also saddled with "word processors", which most people seemed to think was a good idea when we passed around paper documents, but we don't do that much these days. The pagination and typesetting of, for example, Microsoft Word aren't much use when most people look at documents on their tiny li'l cell phone screens. The whole idea of "document" may be a hindrance.
considering https://streacom.com/products/nano160-fanless-psu/ stuff like microPSU, miniPSU, and nanoPSU exist, this is unacceptable. I've used these mini PSUs - which are a barrel power jack, a hdd molex power cable, and the N pin ATX plug on a breadboard the rough size of the N pin ATX connector from large PSU - in remote inaccessible locations to do "in box UPS" for vm hypervisors on intel atoms/celerons and the like. Plug this in to the board, wire in a 12v stamped aluminum PSU that takes a battery as backup (used to be like $22 on amazon) and a SLA battery, toss that in one of those "mini desktop" cases - not the elitedesk - like the ones you saw in every office 10 years ago.

anyhow you can get a 12V PSU that does whatever amps (12? 15?) in a pretty small formfactor, and the "additional" stuff the motherboard needs is, as shown above, insignificant. The PSU can be pretty dirty, as in in the US do literal 10:1 winding to get 12V out (i know it'd be slightly different winding amount to account for losses in rectification and lines and whatnot but 10:1 looks nice to the math) and rectify it straight into one of those nanoPSUs. believe me i've seen me do it.

also don't ask to see my laptop DC-DC supply for running straight off a solar panel... it's larger than most NUCs, too. oh wait, you still need a laptop brick, plus the DC-DC. So you gotta DC-DC -> DC-DC -> laptop which -> DC-DC and probably DC-DC again (1.2v/3v3 rail probably clocked off 5v rail, that's what i'd do naively)

those "dashes" in "DC-DC" are doing a lot of heavy lifting
Good on Brazil
I sort of had that in my HS English classes more than 30 years ago. Every paper we ever wrote for my final two years was in class for one hour. Occasionally we would get a second class period to work on our papers but the teacher held them until the next class period.

I got really good at getting my thoughts down quickly and efficiently. My freshman English course in college nearly broke me however since we were required to revise our papers at least twice after getting feedback, even if the feedback as overwhelmingly positive. It was a skill I had never developed.
That’s actually an ingenious solution. I can’t find any flaws in it.

> being willing to take the longer and more error-prone and tedious path

I disagree with the fact that it is all that. Usually, what I see from people doing CMake wrong is downright malpractice. Something like "I can't be arsed to read about it for 30min, so I'll just trial-and-error and copy-paste stuff without thinking for 4h until it works, and then I'll say it's not my fault if it sucks.

> There are thousands of tools and methodologies screaming for our attention to "be arsed to learn to do them properly".

That's bad faith. I learn to use all my tools properly. The more tools you know, the easier it gets to learn new ones. Also if you learn how they work, you can usually operate at a lower level, which means you need fewer tools (because lower level tools are more powerful). And there aren't new tools coming out every month. I mostly never have to learn new tools nowadays (and no, I'm not working in a super niche domain in C with one old framework).

> You're likely living and working in a bubble.

No. I feel the pain of most developers making a mess. The fact is that I can take a messy CMake setup, fix it, and then it's easy to use and it works.

But most developers don't actually know the two commands needed to build a CMake project. Tell them to set an option with `-D` and they will start crying.

Lessons in creating family photos that people want to keep (2018)
There should be a high sales tax on all advertising. It's the perfect thing to tax:

- Luxury product companies advertise the most (utilities rarely do). The tax will decrease consumption of the most economically "unnecessary"

- Advertisers charge more money to show ads to rich people than on poor people - even a flat % tax will naturally impact the rich more than the poort

- Prices are set by auction at the maximum of the advertisers willingness to pay - this means tax revenue will hit the supplier of ads not the buyer

- Tax on ads is fundamentally a tax on consumption not income

- It's a zero sum positional product - ads make use of finite physical space/attention. This is close to a negative externality that people cannot contract away (eg i cannot contract the billboard company to not show me ads for $5/mo). On the web, this could technically be done, but the marginal value is so low and the number of billboard providers so high that transaction costs prevent it from happening

I am actually willing to have space ads if there were a super high tax on it. Imagine to show a message to all of humanity for a week, you must first pay $100B of taxes to all of humanity. That might be worth it.

I've been surprised there's less discussion of advertising taxes than much more complicated things like land value taxes, even though advertising/marketing is 1/5th of GDP in developed markets.
The point of end-to-end encrypted messaging is not having to care about what the server is running, which is why the threat models for most academic cryptographic research on these things is "assume a compromised server", and, if that gets you real compromises, the protocol is considered broken.
How do you think "the rich controlling our government" would look? I can think of two possibilities: either someone rich and corrupt being elected and using the office to their own advantage and that of other rich people, or the rich influencing the government to enact the policies they want despite the people in control not also being rich. I'm not sure about you, but watching "worlds richest people line up to kiss the ring" of the new Trump administration is impossible for me to differentiate from either of those scenarios, let alone both of them.

Yes, most Trump voters are not nearly as wealthy as him (or the other executives kissing the ring), but when taxes are lowered and government services are cut due to the reduced budget, they're the ones losing more than the rich compared to a higher progressive tax rate. If the theory you're trying to disprove is that the government couldn't possibly be caused to enact policies that benefit the rich to the expense of everyone else, the fact that someone is elected by a large number of non-wealthy people doesn't demonstrate anything that would make your argument more convincing.
Thanks. Different from those diesel turbine hybrid electric locomotives then.
Oh no, no, the REAL benefit is the JOB PROTECTION. As a federal employee, once you've made it out of your probationary period (6mo - 1 year) it is nearly impossible to be fired. There are no PIP's in the government.
How do you run multiple copies of an application? How do you start new copy when one fails? How do you deploy changes to the system? That is the orchestrator.

What do you do when site gets really popular and needs new copies? What happens when fill the VMs?If you want to automate it, that is a controller.

Also, if you are running on-premise, you don't need VM, you can use the whole machine for Kubernetes and containers for isolation. If you need more isolation, you can run VM containers; being able to switch is advantage of Kubernetes.

Distance and a telephoto lens can fix a lot of that. If you're kilometers away going twice as fast you have a lot more time to snap a pic, versus being 500 meters away.

> An arrest indicates probable cause a crime happened

It does, though you have to take that with a grain of salt. It isn't hard to find examples of arrests that go no where and were based on weak probable cause.

The wright one puts behind probable cause also depends a lot on how much they respect the police. When people call for defending the police, for example, I wouldn't expect they care at all about an arrest record.

> I'm not sure I buy into the sensationalism behind this story

It does seem odd there is an entire article about a single mislabeled-and-then-caught object in a large database that probably has many mislabeled objects that have never been caught.

The position of the object is well documented [1] [2]. It surprises me that there are not some very basic checks done on new objects against other databases.

All that said, I do feel for astronomers, the crazy tempo of rocket launches and satellites makes their job a lot harder and its only going to get harder still but maybe offset by Super Heavy enabling larger and cheaper space telescopes.

Yes, k8s is an abstraction, and it's a useful one, even though not everyone needs it. At this new level of abstraction, your hardware becomes homogeneous, making it trivial to scale and recover from hardware failures since k8s automatically distributes your application instances across the hardware in a unified manner. It also has many other useful capabilities downstream of that (e.g. zero downtime deployment/rollback/restart). There's not really any other (well supported) alternative if you want that. Of course, most organizations don't need it, but it's very nice to have in a service oriented system.

Immigration is a case where its legally used against you. Technically I believe its a case where law enforcement isn't directed to go out of their way to enforce immigration laws, but if you interact with the police and they find you to be here illegally it becomes a situation where their guidance is to suddenly begin enforcing it.
Idk I liked the video:

There are now too many to mention and you can but some off Amazon for under $150 (I’m used to Staublis and Fanucs at work so I don’t know which cheap ones are best). None of them are easily programmable. They’re easy to control but making them do the physical action you want is a lot harder - most of the time it’s literally a bunch of instructions like “turn motor 1 23 degrees clockwise” that’s carefully tested to be repeatable. That’s been a problem in industrial automation since they first came out.

That’s why transformers are interesting in robotics, there’s been quite a bit of research (much of it popping up on the HN front page) about using transformers model to control the robot. Hopefully there will be a big breakthrough here in the next few years and robotic arms become easier to use.

Why is it an interesting distinction whether a product is privately funded vs tax payer funded? To me it sounds like sour grapes.
That's true of everything we use as money, including precious metals. You can't eat them, live in them, use them as weapons, walk down the street in them. They have value bacause we all agree that they do and we all agree to use them as a means to exchange that value. Also, and this is important and I should have said it first, they have value because their supply is restricted.

The same is true for crypto. It's fungible, private, and limited in supply. It's also independent of governments although they are doing their level best to correct that.
