Yeah that's the thing, the government can't unilaterally give raises like that. reason #20 this was a horrible move.

>Especially if you have nothing else lined up.

Sadly, yes. I do find the irony here that the FEDS said the economy was recovering and Trump promised to fix inflation and make jobs. Then he's taking advantsge of the bad market to force people he abused back.
Mm. Halo 3 felt really open and expansive the first time I played it. Second time, I tried to explore outside the normal path and rapidly discovered that it was a very well disguised rails shooter.

But I've also gone back further than that in Bungie's back catalogue, having recently been playing Marathon 2 and Marathon ∞ (winner of the MacFormat(?) magazine award for "largest version number increase between successive releases") on Steam, and… well, 2 has still-interesting levels, but Infinity's levels are a spatially confusing mess.
It’s a bunch of things. Home solar and insulation requirements isn’t directly showing up on these comparisons but they matter. In 2023 California got 19TWh/y from home Solar vs 3.7 for Texas. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1419901/us-residential-g...

TX climate isn’t that hot, most of the population sees average summer highs in the 90’s just like most of the south with few outliers. https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Texas/temperature-jul...

The California as a wide range of temperatures, directly next to the ocean is milder assuming the wind is from the west, but it gets much worse with El Centro seeing average July high’s of 107!

PS: A less commonly considered advantage for solar is rooftop panels provide shade and by converting sunlight into electricity it effectively lowers their albido reducing local heat gain.
And keep in mind you can't even fork the compiler to fix them lest you be cast out of their community, whatever is left of it anyway!
Yeah, I mean, I share those concerns in general, but my efforts are mostly centered around aggressive ad/tracker-blocking (moderate DNS-level blocking at the network level, more aggressive at the device level + browser-level blocking) and the avoidance of non-privacy-focused services, e.g. avoiding the popular social networks entirely, and using privacy-supporting pay-for services.

Using the same IP for all of my devices, for me, generally falls into the same bucket of anti-fingerprinting techniques that are used by the Tor Browser like letterboxed resolution that I don't find practical for general use. If I want to actually prevent fingerprinting by IP, resolution, etc. then I'll actually use the Tor Browser.
Yes it does, that is why originally there were green and red threads, the language specification doesn't require which kind exactly a JVM implementation should provide.

Also since Java Loom project, it has virtual threads.

Additionally, since at least a decade you could your own thread scheduling if feeling so inclined to do some low level coding, as the scheduling architecture is customisable.
I would have said that once again, the neoliberal 'center' sold out to the lobbies for a quick buck.

Honestly I am surprised USians didn't had to pay (cash or private data) for this kind of public data before trump, because well, neoliberals in both party, but this seems to be egregious. How can the president remove non army-related public data? I hope at least a judge had a say in this (and that he asked a few millions).
Not sure what you mean by Google Alert, what is that regarding?
I know a guy (Australia) who does this regularly. If a drone flys over his back yard he activates his jammer and the thing makes a controlled vertical descent to his lawn.

100% of the time its neighbourhood kids trying out their toy, and they need to come beg for it back. Then he has the chat about privacy etc etc.

The jammer itself came from Alibaba I think.
Because they express numbers as rational times a real, so the real in all those cases would be one. When it’s one, you do rational math as normal without involving reals.

The “14 days is too many” rings true in my mind. My wife and I did a 2 month road trip several years ago and I distinctly remember around the two week mark we went from having tons of fun to worn out and ready to just go home.

The weird part is as we pressed on and got past week 3 I felt like we could be on the road indefinitely and be absolutely happy never returning home. There is def a lull around the end of week 2 for some reason.
Rust is for kernels and low level systems programming where a GC isn't allowed to play ball.
I've started to prefer small checked bags over large carryons. Boarding a plane is more pleasant when you don't need overhead space for you bags. And you don't need special travel versions of stuff to get around carryon restrictions.

The backpack should also be small. I find 20 L the ideal size, but your needs may be different. If your backpack is too large, you'll be taking more unnecessary stuff with you everywhere at the destination.

Now I understand, the author is (or was, I suppose) a core team member of Elm, I thought it were someone that commented on the post instead. I interpret "showed up on HN" to typically mean a commenter rather than an article author as typically many authors don't even realize their article was submitted to HN on any particular day.

They'd spent the last 10 minutes swearing at windows for taking forever to shutdown and were about 10 seconds from saying screw it, and turning it off anyway.
Elsewhere here and Reddit it seems the trick is to use the Kindle app plus Calibre.

Good luck with it.
Another reason people (e.g., my mother in law) buy kindles is that the price of ebooks is very often much less from Amazon than from the Kobo store. My mother in law wants to be like us and so she recently bought a kobo. But then she bought herself a new kindle as well simply so she can buy cheaper books and then transfer them (which she hasn’t figured out how to do, and which according to this thread will no longer be possible).
All of the government's money is our money? Not sure what this means.
A Google Alert notifies when a search term, such as someone's name, appears online, so mentioning someone in a public comment might trigger an alert, causing them to notice it.
This doesn't seem to include a rule that the two starting positions are equal (same pieces on the A file, B file, etc.).

Also, I don't see how "human intuition" comes into play, or why Stockfish couldn't play this as well as any other variant. Picking the most useful piece to put on a square requires no intuition at all, it's just a few additional possible actions.

At least as implemented, there is no "hidden information", the pieces aren't assigned to a location before they are revealed.
There's little reason why they couldn't though. Why shouldn't I just call Apple by doing sip://support.apple.com ? Why can't people just call me at sip://desk-phone.vel0city.whatever (they actually can, if they know the right name) or sip://cell.hikikomori.apple.net ?

Instead, we're locked into proprietary platforms or relying on old phone systems.
Scala and Kotlin also exist, and Rust's place is for systems programming not CLI stuff.

I avoid the whole "sharing economy" as much as possible. I think I've taken an uber or lyft twice when I was in a pinch in a city I wasn't familiar with, and once ordered a truck part to be delivered from a store in town that ended up being through a third party app (I couldn't drive down without the replacement fuel pump).

I really don't get the hope of trusting individuals that are arguably being taken advantage of by a faceless tech business rather than trusting employees or contractors that are at least more invested in customer service for the company.

It makes about as much sense to me as distrusting humans so much that you want to put all your wealth in a glorified git repo coded by humans and run by a small number of people.

Either trust people or don't, its a pretty simple choice. Convincing ourselves that a layer of tech can abstract humans away so much that we don't need to trust anyone is just absurd.
Caddy isn't just for local docker-based mac development - I use it for any small project hosted on a linux VPS for example.
As of this writing I can still connect my kindle and then read the kfx file with Calibre and then convert it to azw3 or epub (with the dedrm plugin).

Should I loose every way to backup my books, then probably I'd use tesseract, puppeteer and their cloud reader to re-ocr the books (it's better than nothing). Also note that the country I live in, libraries have no ebooks. Kobo drm is another nuisance.
And the embarrassing meaning that some might attribute to "BBC" is also an initialism.
Right. $18 is 6% of $300. For that to be a difference of little consequence, $300 must be an expenditure of little consequence. In the other direction $300 is 6% of $5000. There are people— a number of whom likely frequent this forum— for whom a $5000 expenditure isn’t particularly consequential, and getting an OK thing for $300 doesn’t make sense when you can get a pretty good thing for $5000. That certainly doesn’t mean someone being able to offer a useful version of a $5000 thing for $300 has no merit.

I see this sort of thing in amateur radio all the time. “Why on earth would anyone just starting out consider getting a Baofeng radio for $20 when you can get a better quality name brand equivalent for $200?” Well because $180 is a whole lot of money for a whole lot of people.
I wonder if one forcefully disables all ACPI support and drivers, are they allowed to go back to the binary ON/OFF lifestyle on a modern x86 system? What does Windows do?

> But very few modern systems will tolerate a power cut in the middle of a firmware update very well, and even if it does, it's often in a "Well, now, create this particular USB stick with exactly this filename on a FAT16 partition, boot it with it plugged into this particular USB port, and it might recover things" sort of method.

I recently did this with one of my Thinkpads, doing it during a battery firmware update among others. I wasn't successful in finding such a solution though. Where have you had success in finding some of the more obscure repair techniques?
They don't get paid more because the government is not a profit center. It gets money from the citizens and then appropriates those funds. raises and promotions need to be a strict process because all government workers have public salaries. They can probably pay a little more, but not anything close to competitive.

>The amount of people I know in government positions who give 0 consideration to the quality of their work because they know they won’t be fired astounds me.

blame the incentive structure, not the players. Government being efficient and saving money results in less budget next time. They are punished for their improvement. If Musk wanted governent efficiency, that's the angle to approach. Protecting against lower budgets after a high performance review would do wonders.
Agree, my comment was for the room.

Yep no magic...

Have you ever read Kubernetes source code?
Actually, it comes from the concrete complaints specified in the article, such as the total exclusion from official Elm spaces if you try to fix your own problems. If it was what you described, i.e. the inability to do things within the packaging ecosystem, that would be acceptable; that was the status quo in 0.18 and everyone dealt with it.

The basis for calling complaints about functionality 'entitlement' is that you put it into the world because you want to, and the default avenue for other people getting what they want is to put it into the world themselves. If you lure people to get invested in your project, cause a problem for anyone invested in your project, and attempt to prevent them from solving their problem themselves, then you are behaving irresponsibly and complaints about this do not stem from 'entitlement'.

I assumed almost everyone (product, enterprise) uses ngork to expose development/localhost server to get HTTP2 now a days, but it's good to realize Caddy can do the job well.
I love histogram sliders! I think they were originally developed by Chris Ahlberg in Ben Shneiderman's group, and were later commercialized in Spotfire (I have yet to see them in any other infoviz system except Panopticon - https://www.perceptualedge.com/blog/?p=965). Jeff Heer did some work a few decades to generalize into 'scented widget' (http://vis.stanford.edu/papers/scented-widgets). With systems like DuckDB it's now even easier to implement them into various visual analytic systems.

Why would I do that? Only the thing they have issue with would need to be changed, it wouldn't take any longer than another way of doing it.

You seem to have forgotten what I said, something needs to exist for me to work with. Well, in this "stakeholders want something changed", something exists. It's not a rewrite from scratch.
DEI aside, it seems like very few people understand the concept of a core value, or don’t have them.

The new position is problematic to many, myself included, but the really absurd thing is the flip flopping.

Values are great, but apparently you can’t shoot them… that makes about as much sense as the pivot here.

Companies benefit from having values that are allowed to evolve, but not when they change every time the wind blows. What kind of person wants to work somewhere like that? It’s exhausting for one, but it also undermines confidence the leadership has any brain for themselves or vision for the company.

What this really says is: “If you want to work at a company with a vision for products, services, employees and customers… don’t work at Google”.
>Hard to say without more visibility into what they're doing.

They want to fund corporate tax cuts. the cut from 22 to 15 percent is estsimated to be worth 100-200b dollars of income for the government per year. That's about the yearly funding of the DoED.

So we aren't saving money nor paying off debt. we are just funding corporate profits.
$1000 per month is what I used to charge to a corporate card for generic SaaS products without filing a purchase order. It's not a lot. Even if your business only makes $1M/yr in revenue, $1000 is 1/83rd of monthly revenue. If anything I think they're priced too low.

My theory is that Putin was losing and America decided to save his ass.

I think it's been decades since I last saw a phrase like this used unironically.
> They're a vote that you think the economy as a whole (us, eu, worldwide) will go up not that particular companies will go up.

That's the sales pitch.

The other side of the coin is any company that is influencial enough to bring part of the market down if it fails will also hold index funds as hostages. The more index funds are chosen the more "too big to fail" companies impact people's savings as a whole.

Whatever you think of the next behemoth being caught red handed doing something egregiously criminal, it's survival will be partly guaranteed by index funds.
Pocketbook is a solid choice. I've been very happy with my Pocketbok Inkpad Color 3 - their free cloud offering is great for transferring my ebooks around and their send-to feature is also great. I've never trusted the Kindle jail but in my various trials with eink devices, I've come to appreciate the clean experience that Pocketbook currently offers.

From the article:

…the products themselves contain metal levels up to 3,000 times above drinking water limits, the peer-reviewed research found.

Thats not very toxic. That means you could put a quarter teaspoon of the concentrated product in every gallon of water, and legally distribute that water as tap water, which is even more strict than bottled water standards.

You could drink nothing but that water for your entire life, with no negative effect. In comparison, most household cleaning products aren't near that safe. (and the ones that are probably don't work)
This was in the world before there was a Google.

I was a journalist, and scanner grannies regularly called the assignment desk to make sure we hadn't missed something they heard.
So you’re clarifying that for 0.1% of HN the legality is not an issue as if those in war zones were wondering?
No, that's rather easy for up-to-date browsers. The real reason is that dumb middle proxies might cache/mangle HTTP/2 requests to the point that it simply fails hard, but encryption makes those concerns go away. Yes, there are proxies that can decrypt TLS, but due to how negotiation of HTTP/2 works in TLS (ALPN), dumb proxies will simply not send the signals that it's HTTP/2 capable.
If you're not joking: what private entity would you trust to not start WW3?
Of particular note:

> Parker said that, as a federal contractor, the company has been reviewing all of its programs and initiatives in response to Donald Trump’s executive orders that direct federal agencies and contractors to dismantle DEI work.
> “What’s not changing is we’ve always hired the best person for the job,” she said, according to a recording of the meeting the Guardian reviewed.

This is obviously a lie. Google’s more senior leaders had (and probably still have) quotas for hiring and promotions. If you didn’t hit quotas, not only did you face intense pressure to artificially skew things when HR reviewed numbers, but your performance (and compensation) would also be affected. Many people have privately talked about this, but most are afraid to speak up, due to the aggression of the progressive employees and the official DEI machine (from HR).

I wonder if Sundar will be brave enough to admit fault in how they handled the past, instead of just pretending nothing is changing. I am reminded of James Damore’s situation - he discussed something controversial in a polite way, with sources backing up his ideas, but was viciously attacked inside Google and also outside. News media regularly misrepresented what he said. His firing was unfair. That was just one example of how the company operated all this time. If that’s changing, they should own up to it.
As the comments on that site point out, the headline conclusion is absurdly wrong.

The older models are worse than the newer models (which are generally larger and better trained). That doesn't prove the older models have undergone "cognitive decline".
Company puts profits over...

That's all businesses. Ever visited an inner city corner market? Items cost more, there's less selection, and quality of service? The employees are behind bulletproof glass.
"These tech companies used lobbies to destroy the enterprise structure of our civilization from taxi cab medallions to hotels to brick-and-mortar businesses."

Taxi cab medallions are a very poor example to cite. I'm empathetic to the story of terrible customer service and share sentiments about the overall erosion of user experience with many tech-adjacent, so-called disruptive services, but the second anyone suggests we were better off with the taxi cab than Uber or Lyft, they lose all credibility in my eyes. I think the biggest benefit that many fail to mention is that you can actually get rides when and where you need to. For example, people have far fewer excuses to drunk drive from bars in my hometown now than they did 15 years ago. I've had my skin saved by several rides that would be impossible without ride-sharing services.
There are a few alternative e-reading applications. KOReader and Plato are both under active development. KOReader is great at reading PDF documents on e-ink screens, has nicer options for accessing Wikipedia articles, has useful options for tracking reading progress (e.g. you can see which pages you have read, which is useful while jumping around technical books), and generally goes overboard in giving you control over how a book is formatted. I have also seen random applications make their way to the Kobo, and some people use Kobo's for their own programming projects.

Another benefit is the ability to sideload software without jailbreaking it. I'm not going to say it is easy, since you need to know a bit about Unix to package your own software for sideloading (verses something that someone else packaged for you), but at least you can do it using trusted applications (rather than downloading something from a random third-party).
