On top of that if you strictly want avoid political topics, be aware that there are forces who profit from making topics "political" that probably shouldn't be.

So when someone else decides which topics are politicized and you want to avoid political discussions — congrats you just let others decide about which topics you are willing to discuss.

My opinion is that most topics have a political dimension anyways, also because most topics have a economic dimension. Or phrased differently: Everything is political.

When discussing politics with friends the "how" is probably much more important than the "if". Most people do not have a vetted political opinion, they just have a strong vibe that they can't really reason about. They aligned with some sources and read/watch news they like to hear and that forms their image of the world. They never really tried to form a logically coherent worldview that is backed by facts instead of pre-filtered annecdotes that may or may not have happened in that way.

With this as the starting point a healthy political discourse isn't possible. You can't argue against someones vibes.

But that doesn't mean good/interesting political discourse isn't possible. It just means that if someone lets the politicians turn them into a vibe-based party-before-issue follower that uncritically believes most of what politicians say, they can no longer think or discuss the topics that impact them with others on a reasonable level. And this is why topics get politicized in the first way.

And no-one is immune to this, especially not you guys over there with that two-party system. But we all need to remember that towing the line of a political party means they no longer represent us, but we represent them. Mental flexibility translates to voter agency and our democracies hinge on voters being well informed and not throwing their agency away.

TL;DR: Not discussing politics and blindly towing the party line is like throwing your own agency away.
They're also functionally identical to my PS4 disc of Cyberpunk 2077 which is nothing more than a license; the PS5 version of the game and all updates were downloaded, nothing is loaded from the disc, but the game only works with the disc.
Show HN: Agentic UI/UX Analyzer for Early-Stage User Insights
I built a free tool called SitePerceive to help analyze UI/UX when there aren’t enough users to generate heatmap insights. It uses agent-based modeling: you define your site map and the type of user to emulate, and it deploys agents to navigate the flow step-by-step. This helps uncover potential usability issues early on.
Yes, I much prefer this more nuanced take of "here's some things I like about systemd and here's some things I don't" then the blanket "everything about systemd sucks" feedback.

I wish this project well. I hope it improves compatibility with BSDs for more projects.
And pretty unique online irreversible near instant transactions. For this reason it was often the cheapest way to buy bullion online in a way that cleared in less than an hour, since most banks charge for a wire and credit cards (or vendor risk departments) charge high vendor premiums on bullion transactions.
That sounds nice, but "bring manufacturing back" isn't a plan. Details matter.
It varies by game - if the devs created a default control scheme, the Deck will load that by default and you're good to go. (The green check mark means that Valve verified this behavior, as well as other things.) And if not, the Deck UI makes it pretty easy to create your own mappings and share them, or download "community layouts".

You don't need a Deck to try it - you can run Steam in "big picture mode" on any computer, with a controller, and get the same UI which the Deck uses.
It uses llvm.
Aren't "weak unions" caused by globalization? Unless the union is global, employers can always respond to stronger unions by pulling the off-shoring lever even more vigorously than they already do.

> Steam is a great low-pressure sales environment.

Eh.. It seems very common for Steam users to have libraries of thousands of purchased games, 99% unplayed, purchased at steep discounts during sales. The way Steam operates does a great job of instilling Fear Of Missing Out, and getting people to buy things they never end up using.
Jamming Avoidance Response
Yeah, styling it as a link makes it a bit unclear as to what it's going to do.
What most people don’t see is that we are basically under “shadow austerity” to correct for the not so hyperinflation we saw post COVID.

It is a combination of post WW2 Britain (China is the US in that analogy) - this helps to explain the Canada and Greenland issue; and Volcker era stagflation economics. It will not get any better in the short term, but there is likely to be substantial growth in the long term as a result.

What that means is the fed likely won’t reduce rates, and it may reduce its rate decrease to 1 this year, if even that. It is entirely possible the rate doesn’t come down at all.

Expect Layoffs to come, as the fed doesn’t seem to care about unemployment as its target is on inflation. Many zirp era businesses and funds will fail. Less cereal and eggs for the same dollar.

I am really hoping we don’t start to de-anchor from 2% inflation as a result of all this. I wonder how various US infrastructure projects can and will be financed. Reduction in entitlements. Possibly some type of mandate to hold treasuries.
Just came to say the blog site itself is awesome, I’d advocate for opening the diagrams automatically on mobile, they’re amazingly slick.
Trump is a wildcard, but I could see the US defaulting on its debt, probably in some way that focuses the default burden on foreign countries holding US debt with some relief for domestic holders. I would definitely not be holding it over the coming few years.
> What is the "Price" of Instagram and Google Maps?

Those are free for consumers, but Google Suite (Mail, Calendar, etc.) for enterprises definitely has a price.
Getting a domain is no more difficult than selecting some "easy web hosting and email" bundle on a site and paying for it with bank transfer, credit card or whatever. There's an entire industry around this. I've met plenty of people who are largely clueless about PCs, doctors, lawyers, artists, etc who have their own domain. It's actually extremely common, because conducting business from a Gmail account is a bit unprofessional and sketchy, particularly here in Germany.
> You mean that when they send people back to their home countries because they're no longer welcome here?

Illegally, without due process. That's why a federal judge has been ruling against them on this. They also lied that everyone deported was part of a Venezuelan gang (or at least that they had proper grounds for thinking so, thus the importance of due process), and they lied that it was some kind of invasion.
>Moving from an accounts-receivable/accounts-payable model to a insert-coin-receive-service model would be a huge advantage.

Why would the method of payment affect how you track accounts payable/receivable in your books?
This is incorrect. There are few physical resources that we have reached the limit of, such that one entity’s gain is necessarily another’s loss. There are also a great many things of value that aren’t simply raw resources, for which the pie will never be fixed, because the pie is made by humans and can be made bigger or smaller.

This zero-sum narrative is only true in a world of no growth, where all resources are being fully utilized to maximum effect. That is very far from the world we live in, where there is enormous room for additional extraction, creation, and efficient utilization of resources.
My employer actually has roughly $100B of cash on hand.

The issue is that they're a publicly-traded company, with a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. If they're investing in an internal product that will make back 1% of the money invested in it over the next couple years, but they could have been investing in Treasury Bills that make back 4.5%, they are committing financial malpractice and will be sued accordingly.

Tribalism, presumably. Chik-Fil-A has intentionally made their brand about serving a specific tribe, being part of that specific tribe. That tribe has ideals and to work for that tribe is to live up to those ideals and if you don't live up to those ideals you are fired and probably not a "real" member of that tribe. It's tautological, but so is a lot of tribalism.

Given how much of that tribalism is also explicitly religiously coded, I find it's hard not to want to apply harsher words like "cult-like" to Chik-Fil-A, specifically, but "sect-like" is probably more accurate given how predominant both their business culture tribe and religious tribe are in American politics today even if "sect-like" doesn't have quite the same harsh connotations designed to help you question the systems of power in place.
When the politics get crazy enough it bleeds into everything, which is why it's now acceptable to discuss here.
Only if you believe PR and material published by NGOs is equivalent to political understanding.

It’s a nice thought. But it’s kind of like thinking you will become an athlete by watching ESPN talk shows. Or maybe even hoping to learn about physics by watching the Big Bang theory. You might pick up some new words, but It’s two levels removed from the real thing.

Are there authoring tools available, as with Lottie, or is it code-only?
Ignore them. Congratz on finishing your project!
They're mandated to raise interest rates in the event of structural inflation, not in the event of a one-time increase in prices. It would be silly if the government increasing the VAT required the fed to increase interest rates.
I'm not saying smart contractors are more effective but they might be more accessible to the plebs than hiring a lawyer to prosecute your case.

I'm sure it has a lot of sources, but it was popularized more recently as a mistranslated Circassian proverb, which caused a Turkish journalist to go to jail and then was picked up by various English news outlets.

> I feel like that BGP attacks (and outright mistakes) haven't gone away, so I wonder how useful MPIC is these days.

The actual wording is this:

Everyone (everyone in the CA system at least) knows that it will not result to 100% security, but raising the attack from "fooling the sole ISP that the CA used" to "you need to effectively hijack the whole world and that would be very obvious". This is part of the "Swiss cheese" defense-in-depth.

> Also, hosting companies have been known to MITM their customers connections in order to get valid fake certs.

I am not sure if there is a feasible solution here except to be very vigilant (like looking at certificate logs). This is a breach of trust between the hosting company and the server operator.

You can use a SharedWorker now instead of picking a tab to do that work (and failing over to another tab if it gets closed). Support is still spotty though.
People definitely could stand to write a lot more comments in their code. And like... yea, textbook style prose, not just re-stating the code in slightly less logical wording.

How are those things related? Are poor people bribing politicians to increase taxes?
Years ago before you could do anything this fancy with CSS I experimented with generating 3x2 pixel images server side and then presenting them as base64 encoded pngs in a "scoped" block of CSS to ensure they loaded before the src images. Coincidentally this was the same 3x2 layout as OP did here with CSS. I abandoned it because a 3x2 image scaled up looked terrible, and went with average color instead. This solution looks a lot better visually.

I still do the average color thing today since it's easy to calculate and store server side (I resize the uploaded image to 1x1 px and just record the result as a hex code in the DB).
Because they will price their product to be just a little cheaper than the imported alternatives. This has been discussed to death, with citations, and I believe it to be true. We will see, I guess.
Which country would you like it available in?
Agree with paragraph 2.

Paragraph 3 is a cynicism I don't yet fully buy: There are enough liberals and so-called Democrats that care about this country that perhaps they will be open to ranked-preference voting and the opening of our "political markets" to save the country.

Partial on paragraph 1. Biden should have left a lot sooner, and Harris, loyal to the president and unable/unwilling to break with him on anything of value, should not have been the "pick".

But she was and is infinitely better for this country than Trump in every manner, unless we're into accelerationism. I don't think she is incompetent. She was unwilling.
Systemd uses groups for two things: for tracking processes other than direct children of the service manager, and for imposing resource limitations. Both can be done with other mechanisms, like kqueue's EVFILT_PROC and login classes respectively. But my experience in any case was that hacking up systemd to build and run under BSD it didn't need cgroups at all for basic running. Supervision of `Type=simple` and `oneshot` services worked fine. It wasn't particularly surprising to see this as cgroups really aren't ideal as a tracking mechanism - under cgroups v1, you only had a "cgroup empty" notification available as far as tracking the lifetime of processes within a cgroup, and even that was unreliable and could be left undelivered! So systemd used them to augment a more traditional process supervisor. That's why Pottering insisted on having it be PID 1, and got subreapers added to Linux for the per user systemd instances so that they could get the more traditional SIGCHLD based notification of process exits.

Interestingly that paper from the Bank of England makes no mention of "fractional reserve" anywhere, but they do say:

>Another common misconception is that the central bank
determines the quantity of loans and deposits in the
economy by controlling the quantity of central bank money
— the so-called ‘money multiplier’ approach

>While the money multiplier theory can be a useful way of
introducing money and banking in economic textbooks, it is
not an accurate description of how money is created in reality.
Rather than controlling the quantity of reserves, central banks
today typically implement monetary policy by setting the
price of reserves — that is, interest rates.

>In reality, neither are reserves a binding constraint on lending,
nor does the central bank fix the amount of reserves that are
available

Anyway, I think I'm digressing from the topic a bit here - but I _think_ what I've learned recently is that in the UK it isn't actually fractional reserve banking, which I was surprised by.
Art also is a massive money laundering operation. Why make 10,000 fake invoices when you can make one $10mil invoice for something with zero definable value.

All the pretensions are maxed to legitimize the BS.

Then the talent-less, listless, bored children of the ultra rich have mommy and daddy force museums to put their kindergarten macaroni art on the walls of places that great artists used to be. (Aka banana taped to wall literally the same as macaroni child projects). The mental gymnastics to pretend it is more than that requires the irrational love for your untalented child.

Rich people have destroyed the global art community.
False. But what would it matter if the people have not prospered alongside. I am not the USA. I am a person who writes software and likely has made half of what I would from a lot of hard work, due to competition that other countries have done a better job of keeping out for their own people.

And now with AI eliminating most programming jobs, which will happen by the way, that downward pressure on wages may mean I'm finishing up my career starting over in a new one within 5 years.

Pure stolen wealth, essentially even stolen lives from hard working Americans. We are people who studied hard, we worked hard, we played by the rules. And our lives were stolen from us. Our retribution starts now.
I mean it is a good filter to understand someone with. When I moved from the midwest to the south as a teenager and learned there are still plenty of people that were unhappy the south lost the civil war and want to remedy that you begin to understand there are some people that are deeply entrenched in their views and you have to make a judgement on how much time you're going to spend dealing with that.
This comment thread is just hilarious. When a CEO of a VC-backed startup that you admire does things you disagree with, you find ways to justify their actions. When a CEO that is running an actually successful business and wishes to defend that business legally, you trash him. Be better.

Aaaaw that's nice. Except it's all military under the hood but nice that they try to make us think they'll fold our laundry instead.
I suppose it's just a coincidence that these days your manufactured goods are predominantly stamped with "made in China".
This is a bunch of nonsense that is not driven by data and not even worth a response.

I am tired of people spitting BS just to defend Trump's inane policies and everyone else having to rederive modern economic trade theory in comments in order to counter it.

Physicists used to get a bunch of derision for thinking their high skills in analytical thinking in physics easily carried over to other fields, and now we have CS majors thinking the same.

Regardless I will do some of the countering:

> what about the former domestic producers who could not compete, and do not have the skills or capital to find a new job which pays as well?

We had a candidates that offered job re-training programs. Those candidates weren't selected and those jobs went away even as we tried to put up protectionist domestic policy.

> our society as such is biased heavily toward importing goods rather than exporting goods.

This is fine. Comparative advantages and all. We just need to produce the goods necessary for national security. It worked out well so far. Do we actually want to have other countries do the high value services and us doing the low value manufacturing???? Why are you justifying engaging in a trade war with Cambodia and Vietnam?

> Tariffs accomplish both of those, raising money at the same time as raising cost of goods and weakening the dollar.

This is not backed by any data. Every single economic thinkthank worth a damn, including conservative ones, have detailed how it will raise the national debt.

I am tired of people saying ridiculous arguments just so they can stave off cognitive dissonance.

Tearing down our soft power and throwig out every trade deal we have carefully crafted since WWII is absolutely ridiculous.
Your chart only includes a subset of states. Again, when things peaked varied widely by state. Here's a good one from California that includes April:

Steam's Input system is great, and many people will launch non-Steam games through Steam specifically for the controller mapping. Any game with controller support (console) works flawlessly with the Deck, or any PC using a controller. I don't think I've come across a game that doesn't work out of the box.
W700ds is such an oddity. I love it. One day in high school, my dad asked "what's the difference between RAID 1 and RAID 0?", which led to me sitting down next to him to spec this monster laptop out. A week later he purchased it.

At ~10.9 lbs + 2.2 lbs for the charger, it was not terribly practical to travel with, so it ended up effectively as a desktop in the office.

It now sits in my closet, and periodically I turn it on. The dual screen was a bit too small to do much with, but it was great for notepad or a chat window. Being a 32 bit system limited to 4 GB of RAM, it's not terribly useful today.
This is an impressive project especially considering there are only 4 contributors. In my opinion this should have existed prior to systemd as it is more modular and very much optional "The Suite may run either as an init system or as an auxiliary service management system under another init system." This would have been a much better direction to go on Redhat in my opinion. I might still be using CentOS or one of the forks had systemd gone this direction. Just a personal preference of course but this does not feel forced and does not appear to commandeer functionality that should not be in the init process. It's also interesting to see it implemented in Alpine Linux already though I do not see it in the edge repo guess I have to build it. I use Alpine for all my VM and bare metal servers. This may be worth tinkering with. After this is extensively battle hardened I would like to see this as an installation option in Alpine, perhaps by setting a variable much like other installation options. There are also some interesting notes in Myths and Truths [1]

I hope they are still actively developing this. last 5 commit dates which appear low for an alpha. Maybe we need to contribute to this or raise funding.

This sort of morally superior "trying to get the last word" thing is childish.

You didn't acknowledge the distinction between calling a person evil, and calling a person's actions evil. There isn't a way to "restate your point" that voxl said something he didn't say which would make it any less of a straw man argument.

You're not talking past him--he responded directly to what you said--you're just incorrect.

And you don't even have to admit you were incorrect: you can just have a little red-faced moment alone by yourself in front of your computer and then move on with your life without posting a response. And that would be better than posting this posturing thing where you pretend that some restatement of the singular incorrect point you made would be more correct if only it weren't so exhausting being correct.
