jon9544hn··on Stop Turning every purchase into a tip request
IMHO, if I paid for something, and the only “service” was just handing me the thing I paid for, it was a transaction, not service. The bare minimum is to hand it to me, or put it on the counter, which is REQUIRED to not count as theft, so ya, like other comments mentioned, if I’m waited on and have someone meet my additional needs, (extra this, or sauce me that, or a double Lagavulin, neat of course) then that different.

Someone else mentioned dental hygienists, bus drivers, and now I think of teachers, mechanics, lawyers, etc, what ARE the rules of tipping? Cuz apparently it’s not really that cut and dry

Agreed with above, Wordpress ecosystem type sounds promising
jon9544hn··on Ask HN: One IP, multiple unrealistic locations worldwide hitting my website
In my use case, woocommerce in WP, I have WordFence security plugin, and it has a selection to choose which header to pull ip address from. Since I used cloudflare, I selected the appropriate checkbox, and the IPs were properly posting.

So, hopefully you are able to check on which header your requests are being hit with.

Other comments already mentioned it, but that’s to figure out with your anti-ddos/reverse proxy headers setup

So sick! Congrats!
jon9544hn··on How America's "truck-driver shortage"
I think you’re missing the point. EU size/amount of countries, and shared regulations, etc, makes much sense. North America has that too, where USA, Mexico and Canada drivers are able to cross the border and deliver freight.

The difference is that Canadian drivers are vetted in Canada, and drive in the US. Where as Eastern European/Asian(Indian) drivers who are NOT here on a visa/temporary residence(green card)/citizen status, are able to get privileged driving status.

They work 3/4 months, make so much money (in comparison to back home), live there a few months, then come back for more earnings.

All the while, their freight pay, doesn’t even cover the cost of running that truck. Example: $1.60ish per mile, is required to run a truck/trailer to break even: equipment payment, insurance, tires, diesel, taxes (!!!!), payroll, etc. Normally, a truck wouldn’t take that freight, unless they are in a tough spot, something got cancelled or whatever, they will only take it as a last ditch effort to make it to the next trip. But consistently the freight being covered, is paying sub-$1. Literally barely covering FUEL expenses only. How do I know? Cuz the brokers giving out these freight contracts tell us the price they got it covered when you ask why the price is so low.

Anyway, this was a tangent sorry lol

Worked over a decade in transport logistics, various forms, tech in the latter half. ELD manipulation is as old as the first ones were introduced on the market.

Check the previous FW [0] article regarding undercover DOT officers, uncovering real-time manipulation of ELDs, and the blatant freight theft, mostly with corporate identity theft on top of that.

Paper logs - as known back then - were literally written out daily. To rewrite, you would just tear it out, and redo 7-10 days worth, right?

Well electronic manipulation is even easier, especially when outsourced to Eastern European countries with teams who work 24/7 in providing that service.

USDOT announces which ELDs aren’t allowed to be used - regularly. Usually because of backdoors, but in other times, the sucky software.

Proud of your work! Keep it up
jon9544hn··on I'm spoiled by Apple Silicon but still love Framework
Reminds me of the windows laptop-closed-but-loses-power-while-hibernating bug that’s been around for ages (10+ years at minimum). Linus (LTT) has made multiple video regarding that over the years.

Obviously, that’s windows. But I do wonder why sleep modes in Linux/windows don’t actually work effectively. I mean they ‘work’ as in slowed battery drain, but still nowhere near any of the MacBook series (with/without the M* chips). Idk something about them, they get it right..

Mention of an app, but no references. Does anyone know of it?

Nice! Thanks for contributing :)
jon9544hn··on Ask HN: What's your favorite Underrated Anime that no one talks about?
Probably my favorite amine in both story and stylizing: knights of sidonia
jon9544hn··on Apple made a terrible mistake: it told the truth
I thought so too! My first impression was along the lines of “fitting” all the creativity, photography, art, etc, into a super slim profile.

Idk how it all got so out of hand and making it all seem about ‘destroying’ the good stuff or what not.

I would wager that Apple products are the majority of audio, video and photography producing and/or editing machines.

Seems silly how out of proportion this all went out to be. Even after hearing all this negativity, I can’t see it as a(n) un/intentional portrayal of destroying all the arts..

jon9544hn··on Qualcomm Is Cheating on Their Snapdragon X Elite/Pro Benchmarks
How does this fly? Blatant lying from mfgs/corps really is bad. It’s not just ‘creeping’ up anymore, it’s blowing up. Glad to hear some investigative journalism is happening. At least with M-series, it lived up to the hype, regardless w/e Apple’s other practices are..

Wait, like THE Google Workspace subscriptions are moving? Do you have a source? I might have missed that in the announcement - sounds like a total disaster waiting to happen..
jon9544hn··on Ask HN: Dev productivity tools you would pay for
My favorite MD tool ever. Used it in beta and also paid once released. No regrets!
jon9544hn··on Ask HN: I am overflowing with ideas but never finish anything
This assessment, Working Genius [1], helped us out at the company I work for.

The balance we were looking for, from thinking up, creating ideas, to encouraging (galvanizing), structuring, completing, etc, from start to finish.

It helped me explain what I guess I knew, but showed me who I’d need to work with, for best results.

Me, at my best (green), I’m great at Invention and Discernment. Creating and weeding out the potential solutions. In this zone, I can do 8-12hrs easy

At my yellow (I’ll do it, but it drains my energy quick) is enablement and tenacity. I can encourage others and push through my own doubt/insecurity/bug/issue, etc, but anymore than an hour or two of this, and I’m drained.

At my red zone (if I start doing this, I start getting frustrated) is Wonder and Galvanizing. I don’t get energy from rallying people or from wondering about too much, I’d rather figure it out, not dream it out. If I have to talk to rally people over, for more than 5 min, I’m drained and frustrated. Or if we are “pointlessly-brainstorming” and “accepting any input”, I’m checked out 5 min in.

Anyway, there are plenty of good suggestions here, but this helped in figure out what kind of people to surround yourself/team with for completing projects, etc

I think they meant property taxes, not purchase price
jon9544hn··on Ask HN: Is there any beautiful Markdown editor?
The only option: https://typora.io

Nothing else comes close. Maybe VSCode with extensibility and using that for other languages/syntax, but it’s amazing. After beta testing, I paid the $15 without a second thought

jon9544hn··on Ask HN: What book have you re-read 3x or more?
Ender’s Game (first book x3, and started the second)

The Physician - Noah Gordon

Never Split the difference - Chris Voss

The Big Lie: Exposing the nazi roots of the American left - Dinesh D’Souza

The Rational Bible: Exodus - Dennis Prager.

^^ listening to the exodus one was so enlightening by how much of the freedoms and the US Constitution was influenced by the Torah.

religious: The Rational Bible: Genesis - Dennis Prager.

Grew up reading the Bible almost daily, cuz parents forced me to as punishment, lol! I don’t hate it, surprisingly.
