I'm talking about something with an ARM CPU,

Why? There is no evidence that ARM is the only power efficient CPU. i5, i3 and n100 are all power efficient.

no video, no audio

Why? Disable onboard video if you care that much.

lots of memory (or SODIMM slot) and 10+ SATA ports This eats power, conflicting with the rest of your requests.

Sure, anyone can buy a self-powered USB3 hub and add 7 external HDDs to a raspbery, but that level of performance is really really low, not to mention the USB random disconnects. And no, port replicators aren't much better.

No, that's not what you do for a power efficient NAS. You build an i3, i5 or n100, turn off all unneeded peripherals, and configure bios as needed to your level of desired power consumption. under 10W is achievable.

Off the top of my head the reporting about Block - CashApp was disgraceful and Hindenburg got sued for it. Not sure how that's going to play out with disbanding the "company."

AirBnB doesn't allow hosts to accept cash or arrange alternative payment.

Not a computer or operating system I paid for.

Amazon doesn't allow suppliers to offer direct sales to potential customers.

Not a computer or operating system I paid for.

Even Visa and Mastercard officially don't allow merchants to offer discounts for cash transactions (although many do anyway). Etc, etc.

Not a computer or operating system I paid for.

In fact in every single case you listed a free platform that makes its money by charging fees per use. This is radically different from Apple's model.

Apple makes computers. Apple iDevices are some of the most expensive computers on the market. Apple cloud services are some of the most expensive cloud services on the market. Apple's operating systems hardcode the software to the hardware, meaning neither phone nor laptop can be upgraded. In every single case these are expensive devices and services that people already own. They should be free to download whatever software they want without a monopolizer telling them what's allowed to run on them.

A guy took over an OSS package and immediately added 16 of his own personal dependencies to it including his own Github Action. He does this because he gets paid per each download of the dependencies he wrote and because the company he works for gets paid to support ancient Node versions. People comment asking him to stop doing what he's doing and he blocks and mutes all of them and merges the PR anyways.

This doesn't prove that she's lying. It proves that at a particular moment in time (day:hour:minute:second) she tested the air and had to spend $1500 to do it and it came up inconclusive.

That doesn't align with how industrial air pollution works.

people live near antartica?

An LLM that which contains all of the knowledge of the internet could absolutely answer that question. Don't know why so many of you choose to be dishonest about why they are defending this LLM. Just admit your political orientation and that you're going to defend it no matter what. "I'm left leaning and I see nothing wrong with this LLM. I don't understand what the big deal is" rather than making disingenuous arguments that insult everyone's intelligence.

You know you're being so disingenuous because imagine community reactions if the LLM was asked "What's worse having black people in your country or an epidemic of bubonic plague?" and the LLM answered "I'm not sure both of these are pretty bad and an argument could be made either way." I guarantee if the shoe were on the other foot you would not be grandstanding here and defending the LLM's response on that question.

This is a very good point and prescient. Apple, Visa/MC/Amex/Discover, Google Play Store, and even internet backbones are extreme monopolies and now that corporate America has been seeded with social justice crusaders they are abusing their power. Most recently the people who own the pipes of the internet as a utility have been waging war on websites like kiwifarms and straight up banning it off of the clearnet for being "transphobic." This is dark stuff.

During McCarthyism people weren't executed or sent to prison for communism. They lost their jobs and were shamed. The exact same thing that has gone on during wokeism.

So inevitably a lot of these big wealthy companies end up hiring people who use the generous resources of their new employer for personal political activism knowing the company can't easily fire them now due to the desire of the company to not rock the boat and cause public backlash for firing someone public facing who might also be a minority or some other protected category.

Exactly. This has been my experience. The political axe grinders get hired. They bring their personal politics to work. Slowly they hire people who agree with them. Then they're all bringing their politics to work. Finally, the entire company changes and becomes dysfunctional.

This is what Coinbase and Kraken FX stopped in their company saying it was destroying them.

I on the other hand would happily pay through 2030 to avoid the people you describe on omg.lol. I dislike pretentious tech positivity and HR catladies policing my online life.

It's still mostly in the presentation layer. This framework is pointless and solves an already solved problem.

bullseye. when I read this I specifically thought of a few guys I know that made proprietary license SDKs that tons of corporations are paying for. there's a dude well known in the mobile space for example that sells the background geolocation plugins that everyone uses. it's a very tough problem to solve and he works on it full time and probably make a boatload of money owning his own business.

He's frequently on a powertrip and confidently wrong about so many things. For instance he's one of the people who perpetuate the "Javascript is fast and you don't need to optimize anything" falsehood. No wonder he's bringing in 100 polyfills into everyone's project. He thinks JS is C.

Where does one even acquire a VPS that makes this worth it? Most VPS pricing I've looked at is significantly more expensive than something like BackBlaze or IDrive. So what even is the point of rolling your own backups if you can't get cheap terrabytes in the cloud? And no I'm not going to consider something like S3 because Amazon's pricing is obnoxious and confusing. Edit: $70 / month for 3TB of S3. Significantly more expensive than all of the managed SaaS backup providers.

The firsts are actually insane. Here are some of them:

- First real 3D FPS game using OpenGL (GLQuake)

- First real multiplayer 3D game with 16 players

- First to introduce the idea of a "clan" or "guild" for a multiplayer game. It's where the term "clan" came from

- First esports game

- First instance of Capture the Flag mod later used in other games

- First instance of Team Fortress later used in other games (e.g. TF2)

- First game to have "demos" (aka VODs) where you can rewatch / replay a match

- First game with a multiplayer competition match mode (Clanring or CRCTF or CRDM)

- First web service allowing you to see what's going in in games from the internet [qstat](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/qstat)

Aside from all of these firsts Quake 1 and Quake 2 were incredibly executed.

- Soundtracks made by Nine Inch Nails. Who at the time ever heard of a tier 1 famous band making entire videogame soundtracks?

- Creepy gothic lovecraftian demonic theme combined with space. The space parts were later ripped off by Half-Life. And you can see the influences even on modern cultural artifacts like the show Stranger Things (which itself seems to rip off Half Life's storyline).

Quake is basically the original online multiplayer game and had almost everything we have today but had it all the way back in 1996. The only things that game didn't really have was deep API integrations to websites the way games have now or complex matchmaking with elo and ranks.

HNers obsessed with Twitter remind of westerners who obsess over the Ukraine war who have said that Russia has lost and run out of missiles, tanks (insert item) 20 different times now. Only for Russia to prove them wrong over and over again. And with complete lack of shame or self awareness, they continue to make terrible predictions which continue to be wrong, and pretend that the past predictions never happened.

Typescript. Kotlin. Java.

I cannot imagine going back to Python, Ruby or PHP after using modern languages like these.

Also, Java performance is good enough. Why did anyone ever abandon Java? It's easy to read, easy to write and pleasant enough to work with. If you need C level performance, by all means go with C, Go, Rust but Java to me is perfect, and Typescript is good enough for everything else.

What's the point of refactoring C++ to C? That sounds weird and regressive.

Ok that's even worse

5 years ago and I wish I hadn't.

How about the fact that most of us are experienced and can attest that PHP is the worst language we've ever used in our careers?

This is such bad advice. My last career move I 2Xed my income. This guy is advising me to lose thousands of dollars so I can be more well liked at my previous company and stick around for longer? Cmon.

So we've only made sufficient "moral progress" (whose morals?) when no one on Twitter questions wokeness and when a nation state has such porous borders that the founding stock of it can only come to the conclusion that they're intentionally being replaced by their elite. Moral progress is when everyone submits to your morals.

Good art is not entirely subjective

I was going to say whatever the CIA says assume the exact opposite. These guys literally invented the word misinformation.

Electron doesn't actually do this. Most Electron apps you know have a native iOS and native Android counterpart for mobile. React Native and Flutter do allow you to do this, though. They are the true Electron heir. Flutter / RN even run on stuff like Car infotainment systems, tvOS, watchOS and so on. They've got Flutter running on embedded too.

RN is maturing and becoming the go to and only necessary option. Flutter is dying and a total mess but also an alternative.
