>But it has very little do with version control per se

How so?

For clarity, my train of thought was that if you have that, you have easy differentiation.

Someone edited the transpose knob of a sampler plugin, someone else edited the cropping marks, you can take a shot at merging those differences.

Sometimes it might not make much sense - if you edit a synths preset, other people’s changes aren’t going to fit in the new one. But it’s a starting point at least.

> Kagi gets talked about on here constantly, and it's not even on the list (though I suspect there's a reason?)

Not that I'd expect them high up on the list, but Kagi sends the following response header:

Referrer-Policy: same-origin

As a result the browser won't send a Referer header with outgoing links, completely excluding them from this report.

> For what its worth, I also downvoted the other comment yesterday

Seems like you just don’t like me. Sounds like motivated reasoning to me. But I thought you meant (my) other comment, not theirs. I think it’s possibly an issue with tone being hard to read in text. In any case, I try to add a correction instead of simply calling out mistakes, but you were right to say whatever you thought. I don’t mean to silence you, but your words had a chilling effect on my speech, so maybe give some reasoning and a correct answer next time instead of just calling someone wrong. Anyone can do that, and they too often do.

At least now I know it’s due to that argument being kind of a weak one. I thought they were concerned with the notes especially, which is why I included that reference because it specifically referred to notes. I think there may be other WW2 examples, but I couldn’t lay hand to them at the time.

> I appreciate your edit; it is now much more interesting.

I appreciate you saying that. I don’t mean to assume you don’t like me, but it seemed that way at the time you said it. Apologies for assuming, and for any offense caused.

Edit: For what it’s worth I didn’t downvote you either time, and in fact I upvoted the comment this one is in reply to.

The press did an almost identical story for Ashley Cervantes, who had almost the same thing happen, except she was digitally (finger) raped by doctors as part of the process and was a young barely adult ~poor woman vulnerable minority so way way more public sympathy for her vs me (I'm a middle class white native English speaking boring white boy with a hick accent so basically at the bottom of the interest at ACLU, they do occasionally feature some people that have had it happen if they have sympathetic backgrounds).

Nothing changed. Same port of entry, same hospital network, same everything (I don't think she was jailed like me though). Lawsuit failed and public press did nothing. Later the ACLU won some kind of suit that forced all involved parties to be warned, which they promptly ignored, and that was the end of it.

How is this a racket? This is a service website owners want, and it (that is, Cloudflare’s resurrection of the 402 Payment Required response) seems to be one of the few schemes that can work at scale. The current situation, where AI companies benefit from content created under the premise of advertising revenue, is not just unethical, it’s uneconomical to the point of driving content creators out of business.

A scathing critique may focus on how Linus has effectively lobotimized the Theremin, taken away its essence by removing continuous frequency control, and crassly riffed on its name. The critique may go on to describe the qwerty keyboard pitch control to be crude and only capable of evoking the nostalgia of early digital chiptune music. Only a part of me is that heartless a critic, so I would like to suggest that the design might benefit from the introduction of portamento, such that some of the original pitch contour characteristics of the Theremin could be retained. It may be interesting to substitute portamento altogether for vibrato via hand control, or combine the two.

When users of transit are few there is not enough people to care. often the only users are those least likely to be usefuly involved. so you can't get a useful advocate. Even when transit gets support it is from people wanting to feel good about helping the poor - but would never use it themselves and so they want something with no care for quality. They often make alliences with those whose intersts are not for good transit and don't care that the compromise is bad for transit.

I was a bit surprised only one of them included showing if the last command succeeded or not. My $ being green if ok red otherwise is one of the few things I miss when using a stock prompt.

For bash users I can recommend looking into setting PS1 from a function and assigning that function to PROMPT_COMMAND as it makes it much easier to make it readable

I used a colo once a few years ago at a small datacenter in the midwest, I was shocked at how unprofessional everything was, machines laying in the hallway, a guy was sleeping in one of the offices. They let me setup my server and was left unattended several times, I could have just poked the power button on a nearby server or moved a cable or whatever. It was a 1.5 hour drive away, and I wasn't running anything serious so I just went with it but pulled my stuff out after my 1 year subscription was up.

It's interesting to me seeing the different ways that different people respond to our modern urban hellholes. I don't want to live in a city at all, I want to live in at most a village where people all have their own land, and the village 'center' is just the most convenient nexus of property lines, where people could set up the local market.

I always sort of assume people who are into de-urbanization are also de-dev, because I don't see how or why the large-scale industrial base would be needed or could be sustained with only smaller, distributed cities, but it's interesting to hear another perspective.

I think this is a situation that is a perfect example of how AI hallucinations/lack of accuracy could significantly impact our lives going forward.

This has been a Google problem for decades.

I used to run a real estate forum. Someone once wrote a message along the lines of "Joe is a really great real estate agent, but Frank is a total scumbag. Stole all my money."

When people would Google Joe, my forum was the first result. And the snippet Google made from the content was "Joe... is a total scumbag. Stole all my money."

I found out about it when Joe lawyered up. That was a fun six months.

Absolutely! Not only does filtering on $? provide info (last command interrupted, suspended, good, bad, etc.), it makes the prompt itself a quick way to test [[ ... ]] expressions....

(My prompt is platform aware since codes for some ops differ between MacOS and Linux. The return is colour-coded (green, red, purple, depending on case), and multiline, with git status if in a repo, cwd, and a few other things....)

I maintain MAKID, which is a desktop app built to integrate with Ableton live files in order to help manage versioning/organization. I’ve been wondering if a git workflow is the right one for producers. I feel like it sounds nice but in the end ppl are probably just gonna copy and paste their files because it’s intuitive and easy. Plus I imagine users getting confused by branching causing them to think they’ve lost their progress.

But why wouldn’t they change their minds if those big corporations actually changed their ways? Is there a similar sentiment against red hat?

I now understand where you’re coming from but I am not sold on your prediction that the agpl would crater if Google started complying with it. It would mean that Google open sources everything which is derivative work. That sounds like it would buy a lot of good will amongst precisely those people who are mad about how Amazon screwed redis (to put it bluntly).

Yes, "HPC workload-scheduling software with multi-tenant customer usage accounting" does cost a hundred million dollars to develop and takes 5–10 years to build.

But some research labs (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the research arm of HP, and a few others) got together to build it ~2002, and decided to make the results open source.

And that's what SLURM is. No, really.

I spent 17 years without a car - first Berkeley then Brooklyn. It was a huge boost in financial freedom and stability - nothing worse than a major repair on something you depend on.

But most of the US this is impossible by design. Where I grew up you might live right next to a grocery store- but it is a mile walk because of the wall and road design. Nuts.

Is this really the frontier of LLM research? I guess we really aren't getting AGI any time soon, then. It makes me a little less worried about the future, honestly.

Edit: I never actually expected AGI from LLMs. That was snark. I just think it's notable that the fundamental gains in LLM performance seem to have dried up.

Newton worked this out in what is now know as the shell theorem. If you have a hollow spherically symmetric body, then any point inside of the body experiences no net gravitational force. In contrast, points outside of the shell experience the same force as if the body were a point mass.

For ideal (spherically symmetric) planets where a point is underground, you can divide the planet into 2 regions. The shell of the planet "above" the point has no net effect, while the shell below has the full effect, resulting in the gravity falling towards 0 as you approach the center.

In practice, planets are not actually spherically symmetric, but are close enough for it to be a good approximation.

staging isn't needed since everything including the working copy is a commit you can split, rebase, etc. without any checkin step. yes, it does make sense and yes, it works in practice - the uncommitted vs staged vs committed states are very git-specific and don't need to be special in any way. if you check in the wrong thing (note - your working copy is a commit, so by definition you can't not have wrong things checked in at times) you split it (stage and/or commit in git).
Show HN: Woomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it
by earlyriser | 2025-09-01 17:49:20+00:00
Pocket is shutting down and I really, really liked it. So I built woomarks, an app that let's you save links with a similar UI. It's very minimal, but it's doing everything I liked from Pocket and you can bulk import your links and use the app or self-host.

- Public app that you can test: https://woomarks.com/

- My self-hosted version, where you can see my saves: https://roberto.fyi/bookmarks/

- Repository if you want to self-host: https://github.com/earlyriser/woomarks

Export links from Pocket here: https://getpocket.com/export the last day will be on October 20025.

Features: - Add/Delete links - Search - Tags - Bookmarklet (useful for a 2-click-save) - Data reads from: csv file in server (these links are public) local storage in browser (these links are visible just for the user) - Local storage saving. - Import to local storage from csv file - Export to csv from local storage. - Export to csv from csv file (useful when links are "deleted" using the app and just hidden using a local storage blacklist). - Export to csv from both places. - No external libraries. - Vanilla css code. - Vanilla js code.

Yeah, the state of the art is reverse DNS and then checking that the forward DNS matches which is quite a mess and requires careful use of egress IPs and depends on the network for security. Actually signing requests is a huge improvement.

And while Cloudflare wants them to register which isn't great the standard does allow automatic discovery and verification of the signing keys which allows you to reliably get an associated domain which is very nice.

Most people Google things they're unfamiliar with, and whatever the AI Overview generates will seem reasonable to someone who doesn't know better. But they are wrong a lot.

It's not just the occasional major miss, like this submission's example, or the recommendation to put glue on a pizza. I highly recommend Googling a few specific topics you know well. Read each overview entirely and see how many often it gets something wrong. For me, only 1 of 5 overviews didn't have at least 1 significant error. The plural of "anecdote" is not "data," but it was enough for me to install a Firefox extension that blocks them.

The London Mayor some years ago, Ken Livingstone, was a huge proponent of public trasport and used it extensively.

The current Mayor, whilst still a proponent, likely does not use it. A quick glance at the social media that he recieves will tell you why - it would not be safe. He needs to travel with close protection officers.

The reason? He is Muslim, and Britain has become a very racist country indeed. Well, maybe always was, but the likes of Farage and Musk have so emboldened them that there is no longer a stigma.

Also many vaccines are given in childhood, the vaccine schedule is frontloaded to the first 18 months of life, and many parents are trying to push to get the rest of their kids' vaccines early if possible for fear of losing access to them. So kids up through roughly 2024 births will have largely gotten their vaccines before the CDC can substantively change anything. We're looking at decades before the health effects become apparent, enough time for kids to be born after the unavailability of vaccines and yet grow old enough to get into school settings where diseases can easily spread.

Also likely to be extremely socioeconomically divided, as wealthy parents will likely be able to secure vaccines for their kids through vaccine tourism or the black market, while diseases run rampant through the lower classes.

This seems similar to what we do in medical devices.

The manufacturer creates a set of procedures covering the design process that meets, at a minimum, the stages set out in 21CFR, often following the industry standard for software: IEC-62304. Then mfr documents that those procedures were followed and at the end submits a set of documents about the test results and development process for agency approval.

Sound similar? One difference I can see is that if you replace the software in a released medical device with your own, it's no longer considered to be Approved and using it opens you up to Federal liability.

I'm not aware of anything for electric _cars_ other than aftermarket ECUs and smaller patches, version up/downgrades or cross-market reflashing, but together with a few other people I've built https://librescoot.org/ as an open source replacement firmware for electric scooters (mopeds, not standing scooters). The actual ECU firmware has also been reverse engineered, but for legal reasons has been deprioritized - if anyone here is well-versed in STM32 reverse engineering and feels like taking on e-scooter ECUs, let me know :)

There is exactly one device produced in the entire US that can legitimately run graphene is in a usable way.

Not a monopoly my ass.

> Make cool hacker centric hardware. Make cool easy to use, locked down, and foolproof hardware. Both can and should exist.

Yes, what a splendid idea! Let me just invest a few billion I have lying around here. And maybe after that we can all take a spaceship to Mars and colonize it!

Get real.

Also, doesn't even fucking matter. Guess what, let's say I do invest the 10 billion dollars to make said device.

Will my bank allow it? No. Why? Because Google says so. Google says "no, that's not attested"

It doesn't matter if I make one device, two devices, or one trillion devices. Its still ALL Google. They decide everything.

The Android clock app is pretty solid and looks something like that.

As a switcher to iPhone earlier this year, so many UI quirks drive me utterly bonkers. Can't stand these slow rotating dials, and for alarms specifically, I miss the confirmation that Android shows you "going off in 12 hours" or whatever, to make sure you didn't get the AM/PM or day of the week wrong.

But mostly, these numeric spinners are just terrible. In the Hilton app I have to put my kids ages all the time and it drives me crazy spinning the stupid little things to set their ages. Sigh.

I don't know how iOS got this reputation as magical and delightful and intuitive. I'm ready to go back to my Pixel, I think.
