floatinglotus··on Salesforce CEO took 10-day digital detox In French Polynesia after laying off 7k
“CEO takes vacation to avoid fallout from mass layoffs”
floatinglotus··on Vxlan over WireGuard (On OpenBSD)
The difficulty isn’t setting it up, it’s in determining how much traffic you can put through it before it breaks.

How does it handle segmenting jumbo frames? Etc.

floatinglotus··on Meta to ask many managers to become individual contributors or leave
At this point what is the benefit of working for Meta?

High salary. That incentive ends in 6 months.

What is it exactly?

floatinglotus··on Google and Mozilla are working on iOS browsers that aren't based on WebKit
I don’t want alternate browsers for one small device.
floatinglotus··on DataDog asked OpenTelemetry contributor to kill pull request
More vendor lock-in shenanigans.

Data dog has always been a proprietary POS. I don’t know why people use it, APM traces? How long before Grafana has these capabilities in OSS?

So annoying seeing a company like DD who cannot innovate at all, trying to lock in the average company.

floatinglotus··on Global network outage hits Microsoft: Azure, Teams, Outlook all down
People are complaining about not being able to use Teams?
floatinglotus··on Show HN: Cosh – concatenative command-line shell
It reads like yoda said the command. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
floatinglotus··on Tesla video promoting self-driving was staged, engineer testifies
Musk used smoke and mirrors to promote something that wasn’t real? I’m shocked. SHOCKED.
floatinglotus··on We invested 10% to pay back tech debt
You’ll never end up with any technical debt if you don’t ship.
floatinglotus··on [dead]
The guy’s name is literally Musk. His offices are not going to smell like roses.
floatinglotus··on Barnes and Noble's surprising turnaround
Getting the Riggio brothers out of the business was the big change. Those guys were pure poison. Constantly drunk in the middle of the day.
floatinglotus··on Kubernetes Eats Network
Is Kubernetes about to eat the physical network infrastructure? Ex-Cisco Distinguished Engineer Mike Dvorkin (father of Cisco ACI) thinks so!
floatinglotus··on Ask HN: PCIe cards with their own NIC/Storage/OS?
You want a smartNIC/DPU, and you should probably run SONiC on it! (DASH)
floatinglotus··on Sam Bankman-Fried tries to explain himself
What an asshole. Dude has the nerve to badmouth regulators? What does he think he just did?
floatinglotus··on Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons
Another lesson from Evernote: if your primary business is digital (ie software) don’t make a corporate strategy of selling physical things (notebooks).
floatinglotus··on Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons
You haven’t heard of any of these? How are you even on HN? J/k.
floatinglotus··on Sam Bankman-Fried vs. the Match King
This is false. Economics and finance professors at major universities all have some side business as advisors to major companies, foreign governments, etc.
floatinglotus··on ByteDance planned to use TikTok to surveil specific American citizens
WHAT????

“SPECIFIC AMERICANS”

It took a while but this will be the end of TT.

For anyone who has used TT, you can understand very quickly how this is a military grade weapon.

floatinglotus··on Disposable Root Servers
I have a hard time understanding the target market for this.

If you are so paranoid about your security and anonymity, why would you take promises made by a third party at face value?

Why would you trust anyone or anything with an ounce of your identity?

floatinglotus··on MetaDock: Split Screen Browser
Seems rather expensive for a browser add on.

As an arbitrary comparison, one could get Microsoft Office for the same price.

floatinglotus··on It’s painful how hellbent Mark Zuckerberg is on convincing us that VR is a thing
It’s cute that you think that would hide your identity.
floatinglotus··on A near-disaster at a nuclear weapons lab takes toll on America’s arsenal (2017)
It’s a little strange that there is a Sharpie in the photo. It would make it better with a bunch of post it notes and one of those Apple mice upside down and connected to a USB cord.
floatinglotus··on We reduced our server costs by moving away from AWS
It’s not going to be any of those things.
floatinglotus··on For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is What We Expected
It’s an Aibo. Elon build an Aibo.
floatinglotus··on Magic Leap 2: The most immersive AR platform for enterprise
The ultimate vaporware. What ever happened to the whale demo?
floatinglotus··on Citrix acquired and merged with Tibco for $16.5B
Two ancient pieces of software, together at last.
floatinglotus··on Dextromethorphan-Bupropion in Major Depressive Disorder: Controlled Trial
How does one get pure DXM without additives OTC?
floatinglotus··on ButtFish – Transmit Morse Code of chess moves to your butt
Timely, I’m sure totally unrelated to recent news.
floatinglotus··on Dextromethorphan-Bupropion in Major Depressive Disorder: Controlled Trial
Out of curiosity, are there OTC brands that are pure DXM? I thought most of them were a blend of something else.
floatinglotus··on Dextromethorphan-Bupropion in Major Depressive Disorder: Controlled Trial
DXM is NOT lean.

Lean is codeine syrup, a pain killer.

DXM is totally different. Just because they are both used for treating cough doesn’t mean their pathways are the same.
