stunt

Thanks, but no thanks.

Does Github allow you to use Action for this type of thing?

My main source including for the HN.

Netherlands is a good pilot because construction costs are high there and also they also have work force issues. Perhaps it will take some time for it to justify its cost in the developing countries because they don't have any of those issues.

I think many product designers try to replicate the success of printer cartridges. I try to avoid buying any device that limits the input or supply especially those that require a cartridge.

It's a clear method to milk consumers and they can hardly justify the benefit in most cases.

I even don't buy the idea of capsule coffee machines. I like those that give you the option to use pads, but not those that only accept capsule. The environment impact is one reason, but I also want the freedom of choosing the supply and the having control on the running cost.

At this point it doesn't take much capital to pump anything up. I think the vast majority of early NFT adopters were just colluding with one another.

The old product promotion tactics don't work anymore. Creating hype via social network is the new model that works much better.

Have you done anything to improve your situation? Have you talked directly with your manager about your frustrations?

"People leave managers, not companies". Try your manager and you will see if you want to leave him/her or not.

A better title: Google is experimenting with post-pandemic designs for its work spaces

I have cautiously considered at least two more years of dealing with pandemic in all my plans because we can't confidently say anything now. We're still learning how long COVID-19 vaccines protect people which has a direct impact on how long it will take to get rid of it properly.

I don't want to go back. The toll of going back to office affects my life and literally my body.

I get things done much faster at home and I have lots of energy and extra time left for myself and my family. Commuting was a waste of time and energy. So much unnecessary overhead and stress going to the office every day.

I do like the idea of meeting my co-workers from time to time, but I definitely wouldn't want to go back to the office on daily basis.

I heard some people struggle with their productivity or loneliness. We should research and find out the causes and help them to get over it, or give them the option to work from the office. For some people it's perhaps as simple as bad habits or bad home office setup. For others it might be lack of enough space, or having too many kids around.

What does tech people mean today? Farmers are richer where I live and I've been in tech for my entire life.

And those farmers do use a lot of tech these day. Does it make them techies with these standard or not? Are we talking about software developers or entrepreneurs that happen to be using tech or have tech background?

I'm definitely well above average, but I think there is an illusion about software engineers being rich. They are better than many other fields, but definitely not on the rich side.

Go to LA and ask rich people what they do. I'm sure you will find a few "tech" entrepreneurs but you will be surprised how much people make in other professions.

I have been using the Kinesis Advantage 2 with brown switched for 5+ years.

The biggest advantage is its ergonomic design. It's a fixed split with vertical keys and good palm support. And main key clusters are concave/dished and it feels more natural than flat or normal curved designs.

I also like that it is fully programmable. You have all the popular layouts by default and you can add your custom layouts, macros, remaps, and etc all onboard on hardware. So you don't need a software to customize it.

It took me two weeks to get used to it even though I was doing touch typing for a long time before that, and it took me a month to get back to my typing speed.

I've done some remapping to make it more comfortable for coding.

It's definitely not an ideal keyboard for gaming unless you make a dedicated layout for gaming.

But CIA developing malware isn't news to anyone. How is this a tit-for-tat then?

My hypothesis is that Elon is doing all these Bitcoin stunt to keep the numbers high for Tesla. Tesla is doing great, but other car manufacturers are selling EVs now and they are going to sell even more and more each year. Soon a lot of investors will realize that Tesla is just another car manufacturer among all other ones, and it surely isn't valuable as the sum of the rest.

Chip making was outsourced to Asia because it's cheaper to make them there.

It's hard to give you any advice because it always depends on many things. For some people it's about a few bad habits. For a lot of people it's about their job. For others it might be about their role and responsibilities, or their lifestyle, or the environment and people around them.

What you need is a good listener/friend to debug it together. Perhaps you can track it down. It usually doesn't happen overnight. So you may be able to tell when it has started and what has changed in your life before that.

> Along with his colleagues, Marlinspike analyzed the device and found that it included several vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to include an "otherwise innocuous file in an app" that when it gets scanned by a Cellebrite device exploits it and tampers with the device and the data it can access.

> Marlinspike published details about the exploits outside of normal "responsible disclosure" guidelines and suggested that he is willing to share details of the vulnerabilities as long as Cellebrite does the same with all the bugs the company uses to unlock phones, "now and in the future."

Pretty sure Cellebrite isn't going to do that because of their business model.

> In their analysis of the device, Signal researchers also found that it contained packages signed by Apple, and likely extracted from the Windows installer for iTunes version 12.9.0.167. According to Marlinspike, this could be a copyright violation.

I like to know how Apple will react to this!

Testing it has probably been challenging for them during the lockdowns and WFH situation.

They don't all have to be smart.

A few smart thieves will share the tricks. Probably many smart peoples are even going to try building detector devices.

The only thing this has in common with Bitcoin is "digital". The rest is pretty much opposite of what Bitcoin was supposed to be. (And I say "was supposed to be" because everyone has a different idea about what Bitcoin is today. But that's not related to this discussion here.)

The game dev (voidspacegame[1]) for instance is often the first reply on Elon's tweets. It doesn't seem like a fake account, but it's automated/a-bot.

Are you mostly driving around a suburb or a crowded city? In my experience it works well on highways and suburbs, but not in big cities and also busy highways.

Driving conditions aside, they should also exclude cheap cars. Cheap cars, and also those that are popular with young drivers have higher accident rate.

I'm sure S-Class has lower accident rate than VW Golf. But that doesn't mean anything.

Twitter talks about fighting bots, while every time you open one of ElonMusk (or any high profile account) tweets you see lots of them. That definitely doesn't give a good feeling about the platform to your users, Twitter.

You were right. I tested it and it turns out that Microsoft Teams is doing that.

Title is misleading.

But, maybe we should talk about outsourcing! Most people do not know how awful is their trusted brand at managing its contractors. Often there is no technical team to lead and control. They only hire a bunch of incompetence product managers with power point skills that have no clue about what is going on.

> How about "no" to all of that nonsense?

I agree, but I'm not sure if we can stop it.

I think it's desirable to ask them to be transparent about it though. Knowing what's is place and how it works seems like a basic right.

Thanks god I work from home now and I don't have to see half of the train purposelessly scrolling through Instagram.

We recently picked PHP for a large web application. The usual choices at our teams are Java11, Golang, and Typescript (+ a few teams that use Kotlin, C# and Rust). Many team members however also had experience with PHP in their career, but the main reason for us to pick PHP was Laravel's ecosystem really. The amount of features and scaffoldings that you get out of the box is just crazy. It gives you proper authentication for both web and APIs with 2FA and everything out of the box. Plus billing integration with recurring billing support and everything you need for payments, and also team management features ready in 5mins. And then you add another package for building administration panels (it's called Laravel Nova) which costs nothing comparing to alternatives for Java and deliveries much better development experience. It has been almost a year and no regrets so far.

I think it easily saves you 6 months of development time if you want to build a web app or a website beyond a static page. The ecosystem is very stable and reliable. So why not?

I encourage you to watch some of the introduction videos that they produce to show their ecosystem. That's how we were convinced to start investigating it. We spent a couple of weeks to make everyone productive with it. We had to catch up with all PHP7+ features and read Laravel docs. I think we will still build a lot with Java and Golang, but not for WEB. I don't see a better alternative for building web apps or front-end projects.

We don't however mention it in our portfolio or even on our job listing. It's apparently not cool for a publicly traded enterprise to say that we also use PHP.

It's more accurate to say that "JVM is Underhyped". I think more people will agree with that.
