I think the reality is that most "knowledge work" jobs involve being a wet meat interface between many different systems, other people, the physical world, etc. I think there are very few roles where someone has a nice clean set o

I think there’s a big difference in commitment between the level of friction in signing up for a service and spending a couple of min on orienting myself and clicking play and watching the happy path go for 30s.

Respectfully I think this is a mistake. You should not have released the pricing update without making this self-service. I've evangelised using Tailscale at our company and the 100+(20 * user) limit was very comfortable for us at our

I think this echoes very true in a lot of places, not just in the US. Here in the UK I'm pretty sure the police/the state more broadly know perfectly well who is doing a lot of the low level quality-of-life crime in most areas, bu

I think it’s really cool how good the newest video codecs are, but here I am finally able to (only very recently) safely use HEVC and assume that pretty much every end user device has hardware support. It’ll be a while before AV1 reaches th

I’m curious: who is operating these bots and to what end? Someone is willing to spend a (admittedly quite small) amount of money in the form of tokens to create this nonsense. Why do any of this?

The difference is between x64 machines and ARM machines. The no-name x64 machines have excellent software support because they all run EFI and have fairly ordinary hardware. The no-name ARM boards have cobbled together bootloaders and requi

I think that for 95+% of companies that write software, it's not particularly sensitive to the ISA of the processor it's running on. Anyone who is writing code in a high level language like python or java doesn't care whether

This is great! I’d love a similar document for ARM NEON as well.

Is the exterior of the car not public yet? Why is the only detail about the control cluster?

It's also completely unloved. Even MSFT Azure's own documentation regularly treats it as a second class citizen to GitHub. I have no idea why they don't just deprecate the service and officially feature freeze it. Honestly th

Even just a year or two ago its web interface was way snappier. Now an issue with a non-trivial number of comments, or a PR with a diff of even just a few hundred or thousand lines of changes causes my browser to lock up.

It shows you the level of quality to expect from a Microsoft flagship cloud product...

Can someone in GitHub senior leadership please start paying attention and reprioritise towards actually delivering a product that's at least relatively reliable? I moved my company over to GH enterprise last year (from AzDO) and I&#x27

Thank you for this. I was mistakenly under the impression that it was not possible to raise these concerns with DVLA anonymously. Do you know what the process that follows this looks like? Are they just asked to self-certify again? Are they

Older people in the UK already have free bus passes and various other substantial concessions regarding public transport. Cars are dangerous, and if you can't see clearly, you're obviously not fit to drive. It's true that the

There are very few which are suitable for integration into other products - I currently build a scientific instrument that needs a fairly powerful SBC to run. Intel NUCs were well supported and documented: all of their firmware was updatabl

by noodlesUK 8mo ago
I agree completely - the NUC segment has a gaping hole post 2023, and faster raspberry pis can probably fill a lot of it especially for small scale commercial stuff.

It really is pretty crazy that some of the more esoteric forms of citizenship have never been rolled into "British Citizen". Almost all BOTCs were given the opportunity to become British Citizens, but not all, and they kept the or

by noodlesUK 9mo ago
It’s possible to have been born with multiple forms of British nationality such as being BOTC (e.g. bermudians) and a British citizen at the same time. It’s also possible for e.g. a BNO to register for British citizenship after a period of

It sounds like they've dropped the digital ID part being mandatory, but not the digital right-to-work checks being mandatory. I suspect that the UK will end up building something like the US's E-Verify programme, which allows a nu

I think this is a huge mistake at least as far as the office software goes. One of the key advantages to Pages.app and friends is that they are pre-installed and free on MacOS. This will just drive people to M365 and Google Docs.

Whilst I seriously doubt that this will be regularly or universally enforced, I think that gas powered gardening and construction equipment is incredibly loud and annoying, and that especially in built-up areas it's not really acceptab

I agree that the author lists in various metadata sources and databases are often a bit wrong (weird formatting of names for instance is very common), but many of the cases in the OP article are pretty egregious and far beyond just data ent

It astonishes me that there would be so many cases of things like wrong authors. I began using a citation manager that extracted metadata automatically (zotero in my case) more than 15 years ago, and can’t imagine writing an academic paper

They're also doing something very scammy with ads - if you are scrolling on mobile, they've changed the behaviour on iOS so that if you touch the ad at all, it considers it a click and opens it, whereas it's much less sensiti

Nope. I was born abroad to a U.S. citizen who didn’t meet the physical presence criteria to pass on citizenship. I came to the U.S. as a child on an IR-2 green card, then when the CCA became law I automatically became a citizen. My parents

This argument rings especially true in the U.S. where there is already a primary key in use every day. The SSN serves as a universal enumerator but without canonical data. If the U.S. wanted to have a national ID system with rules, a define

I think it's an important thing to remind yourself of sometimes that there's a pretty significant difference between a startup and a small business. In spaces outside HN, small businesses are the default form of business, and ther

I know it's a bit worn out but if you want to learn about practical orbital mechanics and have fun doing it, Kerbal Space Program is the best tutor there is. It's a simplified physics model so stuff like Lagrange points don't
