He didn't post a source either. Go look at the Atlanta Fed's wage growth data if you're actually interested.

It's a k-type curve where the high deciles are getting higher and the lows are getting lower

The lowest quartile of income have had the highest growth the past four years.

Yeah it was a bad comment. I really misunderstood the grandparent.

I didn't say they were pickpockets. I was trying to point out the absurdity of correcting illegal activity by simply eliminating laws.

I love immigration. We should have lots of immigration! But it should occur within consistently, fairly enforced laws passed by our legislative system. I get that our immigration system is arguably broken and that it's very difficult to pass meaningful legislation, but that doesn't mean we should just allow whoever is president to dictate immigration policy.

What aspects of Rust do you find ugly? Can you provide three examples?

Are you referring to the author specifically? Or a specific hypocritical person you know? If you're making a general statement about groups of online people you might be falling for the group attribution error[1], where the characteristics of an individual are assumed to be reflective of the whole group.

In any case, two things can be simultaneously true:

1. Writing code is not the bottleneck, as in we can develop features faster than they can be deployed. 2. It's annoying and disruptive to be interrupted when doing work that requires deep focus.

Not even old town is safe.

“Even if you stopped climate change today, New Orleans’s days are still numbered,” he added. “It will be surrounded by open water, and you can’t keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.”

""" “New Orleans is not going to disappear in 10 years or anything like that, but policymakers really should’ve thought about a relocation plan a century ago,” said Dixon """

People have seen this coming for a long time. Here's a classic article about the channelization of the Mississippi by John McPhee from 1987: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20636254

My main use case is emacsclient and vterm as a terminal multiplexer, in place of something like tmux or screen.

But even locally I use vterm. A terminal is just text, why wouldn't I manipulate it with emacs? At any time you can switch to `copy-mode` and it behaves like a read-only text buffer that you can manipulate as you please.

Pull-based streaming can work with webrtc. I implemented it for my custom ip camera nvr solution. I just open N streams on the client and when one is deactivated (typically by scrolling it out of the viewport), the client sends an unsubscribe message over a separate control channel and the server just stops sending video until they resubscribe.

I'm currently switching to a quic-based solution for other reasons, mainly that webrtc is a giant blackbox which provides very limited control[1], yet requires deep understanding of its implementation[2] and I'm tired[3].

I looked at moq-lite but decided against it for some reason. I think because I have <5 clients and don't need the fanout. The auth strategy is very different than what I currently use too.

[1] Why is firefox now picking that (wrong) ice candidate?

[2] rtp, ice, sdp, etc

[3] webrtc isn't bad for the video conferencing use-case but anything else is a pain

I could use AI and have a working solution an hour later.

That sounds really cool. You should share what you used.

The goal was not to become a Bluetooth archaeologist. The goal was to solve the problem.

I'm sympathetic to this view. It seems very pragmatic. After all, the reason we write software is not to move characters around a repo, but to solve problems, right?

But here's my concern. Like a lot of people, I starting programming to solve little problems my friends and I had. Stuff like manipulating game map files and scripting ftp servers. That lead me to a career that's meant building big systems that people depend on.

If everything bite-sized and self-contained is automated with llms, are people still going to make the jump to be able to build and maintain larger things?

To use your example of the BLE battery monitor, the AI built some automation on top of bluez, a 20+ year-old project representing thousands of hours of labor. If AI can replace 100% of programming, no-big-deal it can maintain bluez going forward, but what if it can't? In that case we've failed to nurture the cognitive skills we need to maintain the world we've built.

Incitement is only illegal when "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action".

The classical cultural example is the Luddites, a social movement that failed so utterly

Maybe not the best example? The luddites were skilled weavers that had their livelihoods destroyed by automation. The govt deployed 12,000 troops against the luddites, executed dozens after show trials, and made machine breaking a capital offense.

Is that what you have planned for me?

Much more likely is that conditions for elder care will continuously degrade until MAID becomes most people's choice.

Boom. Done. You had the answer already and just didn't reconcile your own thoughts.

TFR has been falling in the US since the 1800s, long before birth control.

whipper is built on cdparanoia but uses the AccurateRip database to verify the accuracy of your rip: https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper

Or you can run EAC in wine.

Unfortunately, many of these system don't offer any kind of local control, like the ability to monitor and set charge level. You have to use a cloud service with Ecoflow systems, for example.

LiFePo4 are generally safer and less prone to thermal runaway. The safety standard for home energy storage systems is UL9540 (UL9540A is different).

Does this system allow local control and monitoring, ie without a cloud service? Ecoflow does not, although someone has reverse engineered the bluetooth protocol for some models.

Is it UL9540(UL energy storage system safety standard) certified? I didn't see it listed in the specs but several of the ecoflow models are.

We recommend checking our Wikipedia page for the latest domains.

I wonder how wikipedia feels being used as DNS?

EDIT: Apparently this is a well known practice. Some interesting discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40008383

applied by a judicial system that is not the executive branch

You have the right to a trial. Defending yourself from a Federal felony charge only costs $250k+.

Given recent events, I think undermining civil liberties to expand executive powers is crazy.

Hate speech is a problem.

I agree, 100%. Donald Trump should have the power to jail people for things they say online.

Android supports DHCPv6, just not stateful DHCPv6. You can give each device its own /64 or if you really want to track a devices usage you should use an authenticated layer on top of your base network.

Is software just going to get worse from now on? Was the level of quality and feature improvement we've come to expect an artifact of high levels of investment based on expectations of growth that are no longer seen a valid?

It's possible to have both overpopulation(too large of a population for a given metric like water, energy, pollution, etc) and demographic collapse(too many old people, not enough young workers). It's not intuitive but they are separate phenomenon.

The reaction to overpopulation concerns probably discouraged people from having kids but it's unlikely to be the main cause.

Windows, this is a solved problem.

Are you sure? It's been a few years, but last I tried Firefox used its own CA store on Windows. I'm pretty sure openjdk uses "<JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/security/cacerts" instead of the system store too.

I just reworked my home server backup strategy to use rsync.net and it's been a great experience.

I'm using btrfs and snapper to take hourly snapshots. The snapborg[0] tool then pushes those snapshots to a borg repo on rsync.net. snapper and snapborg can be configured to keep the number of hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly snapshots you want and can automatically prune them.

Are people just going to stop buying devices and computers?

I'm sure Apple and Samsung will still have access to chips. Maybe this is just the beginning of the end for access to general-purpose computing for the masses.

desec.io allows you to create (through the api) tightly-scoped tokens that can only update the "_acme-challenge.subdomain.example.com" domain needed for DNS-01 challenges.

I switched to them from cloudflare dns for that specific functionality and it works great.

Sincere request: Can you provide some specific examples of doctors being mocked or ostracized for criticizing studies?
