> And before anyone says anything about 19" rack stuff, don't bother. It's close but just doesn't go, especially if it's not the only thing in the enclosure.

Do you have to use that particular wall enclosure thing? A 1U chassis at 1.7” of height fits 4 drives (and a 2U at ~3.45” fits 12), and something like a QNAP is low-enough power to not need to worry about cooling too much. If you’re willing to DIY it would not be hard at all to rig up a mounting mechanism to a stud, and then it’s just a matter of designing some kind of nice-looking cover panel (wood? glass in a laser-cut metal door? lots of possibilities).

I guess my main question is, what/who is this for? I can’t picture any environment that you have literally 0 available space to put a NAS other than inside a wall. A 2-bay synology/qnap/etc is small enough to sit underneath a router/AP combo for instance.

Errors happens on immigration forms all the time. Many of them aren't a big deal and can be corrected but there's a right and wrong way to do it. Fixable errors include things like failing to mention all your employers that you worked unauthorized or your name having a different spelling in certain cases. Since unauthorized work is forgiven if marrying a US citizen, the omission of employment is a correctable error.

The right way to fix this is to type out the questions you want to correct into a document (called an errata sheet) with the corrected answers and to hand that to the visa officer with your ID at the start of the interview. The reason you want to do this is you want a paper record that you volunteered this information. Anything verbal can be argued that you only revealed such information when confronted and that's a problem.

So I don't know what your issue was. Errors with a divorce could be as serious as you weren't free to marry because at the time you got married your divorce wasn't finalized and that invalidates your entire petition and there's no correcting that.

Another big one is USCIS not believing your divorce is real. this happens if you get divorced in certain countries (eg Ghana, Nigeria) where apparently fradulent divorce decrees are a real problem.

This still makes no sense.

The business travelers are looking at a website with hundreds of hotels in the city they're going to. If you don't offer a twin room option, they don't think "well shucks, let's just get two single rooms". They go to the next hotel, out of hundreds, which has a twin room option. It may cost more, but it won't cost double. They'd be complete idiots to pick two single rooms if what they wanted as a twin room.

You can't compel them to book your single rooms, and you definitely can't compel them by springing a surprise doorless bathroom on them in your twin room option after they've paid and arrived. That's when they expense a taxi to some other hotel and report their findings to their entire company, who never book from you again.

Simply offering a twin room option means you expect unrelated or distantly-related people will book it. If you don't want that, take away the twin room option. Business travellers will not share a double bed. You get all that benefit of double-profit (if for some reason the travellers are morons or they're going to bumfuck nowhere and you're the only hotel), without going to the expense of removing bathroom doors.

I didn't have any trouble with the comic but I do already know these things about how react hooks work so I'm not going in fresh.

I think it's a little whimsical, perhaps too much for what info it conveys (a bullet list with the same component names would probably be equally informative), but I thought it was easy to understand and follow. I think there is -something- here; I don't need THIS comic but if it was more about the context and goals of the change then maybe that would be powerful. Especially if it was consistently done over many PRs.

The lightning tech wasn’t better, it could only do USB 2 speeds - yes I know there was one iPad that could do USB 3 with one special dongle - and it couldn’t even do video out well with the dongle. The video adapter had hardware to decompress a compressed video stream and convert it.

Even before the EU mandate lightning was showing its age and they started replacing it with USB C on the iPads.

You’ve had cheap Android phones if you had that problem. Have you heard reports of that being a problem with iPhones?

As far as compatibility, I carry around an external USB C powered external monitor for my laptop. It gets power and video from one cord on a computer.

I can take that same monitor and that same USB C cord and plug it up to my iPhone.

This is me sitting at a Delta lounge watching either Breaking Bad or Better Caul Saul with my phone connected to my second monitor

https://imgur.com/a/SC6WDri

The iPhone by itself can only power it to 50% brightness. But there you see if I plug in a battery to the second USB C port, it can power the monitor at full brightness and charge my phone.

USB C is better in every way.

Flock Safety is a lot more than ALPR. They just try to fit in as an ALPR because those have been used for years. They do use their video feed to find unique identifiers of vehicles, such as dents, mods, color, make, model, etc. It's also highly likely they are doing facial recognition at some locations. I do not believe they are doing gait recognition yet for pedestrians, but it's just a matter of time.

> To save money.

If they want to save money, hostels are usually half the price of hotels. Why would they even choose a hotel in the first place?

Plus, my experience is that hotels will simply cancel your booking, or force you to upgrade, if multiple people turn up to check in for a single room. They don't need some passive-aggressive doorless bathroom, they have the right to tell you to book a 2-person room (whether twin or double bed) for 2 people.

I am surprised people are willing to put up with this sort inhumane treatment. A person I know has been waiting for 16+ years for his green card. They've very rarely traveled out of the USA together as a family because they were afraid they might be a problem getting back in. The people I know are not even desperate migrants where this sort of treatment is still better than the lives they are living - yet they still normalise it. When I ask them why they tolerate such draconian conditions, I get answers such as "well, we didn't realise it would take this long" or "this doesn't happen to people like us".

The Jonsbo N3 case which is 8x 3.5" drives has a smaller footprint than this, which might be better for most folks. Needs a SFX PSU though, which is kind of annoying.

If you get an enterprise grade ITX board that has a 16x PCIe slot which can be bifurcated into 4 M.2 form factor PCIx4 connections, it really opens up options for storage:

* A 6x SATA card in M.2 form factor from Asmedia or others will let you fill all the drive slots even if the logic board only has 2/4/6 ports on it.

* The other ports can be used for conventional M.2 nVME drives.

I don't know about that. in my view, you can call him a murderer, genocidal, sociopath, anything related to his actions. But calling him an epithet, comparing him to an animal is a different thing. Even physical violence is more tolerable. of course people can say whatever they want in private, i'm talking about public discourse. terms like "monkey" and "dog" have been used across cultures to mean really nasty things. It's dehumanizing (literally!), it says as much about the speaker as it does about the subject.

A capricious, arbitrary, hard to satisfy legal system that's filled with catch-22s doesn't concern you?

Is it because only immigrants and their families are subjected to an unfair legal system, so it doesn't seem to be your concern? In a democracy, the actions of a government are collective. We all bear responsibility for injustice and a corresponding responsibility to pursue a more just system.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with the divorce itself, I'm a US citizen and was (legally) divorced for several years before the interview (and my marriage). The error was a typo that the interviewer was informed about well in advance of our interview, and could have been corrected by changing a value in a field which our lawyer informed us had been done many times in the past for other couples.

If I have a potato field, the cost to me of a potato is whatever equipment and labor it takes to farm one, divided by the yield of potatoes.

If there's suddenly a potato famine, then the cost to other people who don't have a potato field is however much they are willing to pay to avoid starving.

Apple doesn't have a potato field, but what they do have is a ton of negotiating power, market share, and enduring relationships with the manufacturers.

There's also the implicit threat when negotiating with Apple that they might enter your market if you fuck around with them. If Apple perceived DRAM/NAND prices to be a significant threat to their carefully curated pricing structure, they might decide that they need to vertically integrate.

Everyone do yourselves a favor--go to a thrift store and buy a few microwaves. Find a field, string a hundred feet of extension cords from an outlet and start microwaving all the things your not suppose to.

My favorites: Ivory soap--bubbles outward; Grapes--see article; Incandescent lightbulb --lights up; Wine bottle--explodes, do this last

Also lots of things you think would be bad do nothing: spray paint can, soup can, silverware, cup of gas with aluminum foil in it.

Hmm, that seems plausible, yeah. It's unfortunate munchler didn't say something like that. But it seems like now people on HN are dogpiling on this Andrew guy? I imagine he'll feel the same way reading this thread, won't he? Surely there's a solution for bullying other than more bullying?

Regardless, it's hard for me to imagine that many readers will find great intellectual interest in a long thread about what a terrible person Andrew is.

Yooo, founding designer here.

From a technical perspective, building it on framer was pretty easy, though, it has some limitations with more complex SVG imports. I mirrored the Shadcn global.css color variables from the portal on the website for a more consistent vibe. Definitely recommend that.

From a design perspective, I wanted something radically simple, with taste. The narrow width visually demonstrates simplicity at a glance. I love narrow sites. Instinctually feel amazing. The double dashed borders will eventually turn into “flowing” lines. Which is a Flow of funds reference. We also worked with primary studio to help us choose some colors, typography, and patterns we’ll likely introduce later.

Hope this helps!

You can have two (or more) separate petitions with USCIS.

For example, if you get sponsored by an employer for a green card and you marry a US citizen, you might ask which green card should you pursue? The answer is both. This is fine and encouraged.

This also comes up with people who apply for asylum. This can take years to adjudicate. What if they get married to a US citizen in the meantime? Generally, the advice is to maintain your asylum application AND apply for your marriage-based green card.

This doesn't just apply to green cards either. If you work on an H1B, it's completely fine to apply for a green card (through employment and/or marriage) at the same time. Some will point out that the H1B is a so-called dual intent visa that doesn't preclude immigrant intent but that's not really what that means because you can adjust status to a green card on a non-immigrant intent visa too.

"Immigrant intent" here really means if a consulate will issue you the visa overseas and if CBP will let you into the country if you've shown immigrant intent (which usually means filing an I130 or similar). Once someone files an I130 for you, you'll not be granted a student or visitor's visa from outside the US and if you have either, you might be denied entry at the border. Because those aren't dual intent visas.

A red flag for USCIS for visa fraud is applying for an F1 visa, coming to the US, stopping studying and getting married. To them it looks like you committed immigration fraud just to come to the US.

That's why I say you should continue your studies (and also not get married in the first few months upon entering the US on a student visa).

So there's really no studying out of status per se. If you continue your studies, your F1 is still valid. When you get your EAD or green card, you can study with that and terminate your F1 status.

If you fall out of status on an F1 for a certain period of time it might be difficult or even impossible to resume student status to study at the same or another institution. I'm honestly not familiar with the rules around this.

But you're just not really going to be studying in the US without any status.

Awesome! It would be great if there was also a way to make the window transparent, if so, maybe we could change the transparency level by pressing something like Cmd+Scroll to change the alpha level of the window under the mouse cursor (I already do this + floaty on Windows using AutoHotkey, and always wanted to do something similar for macOS).

Forget the bathroom doors; can we at least bring back proper shower stall design that uses full-length doors instead of the 1/3-length piece of glass? More glaringly, those of you who know the Hilton MUC for instance, it's utterly mind blowing what they've done: the shower stall floor is on the same plane as the rest of the bathroom floor -- i.e., it's not sunken at all -- and it's not sloped or otherwise angled, either, to prevent water from seeping under the door and flood the whole floor. And this isn't like one-off bug in one room: we've stayed their countless times, in different rooms, and every single one suffers this problem.

I can't imagine being someone like Andrew, or any BDFL of a popular open source project, and having to deal with folks like this. Imagine posting a timed output of your compiler on a thread about a similar language's slow compiler and having someone cite this as bad behavior.

Anyway, the clear absurdity of this particular post aside, it's not OK to call other people monkeys. I make no statement on the quality of their engineering. But they're people! I'd hope to see a quiet dignity from the Zig folks here. They've done so much excellent work, and I'm sure it's frustrating to see what software can be and then have it sharply laid against what software often is. But kindness is always the way.

Thanks to everyone involved with Zig for their work and love of software!

I have a Model Y from September 2022 (made in China). Aside from there being white paint on the inside passenger door on delivery (which they fixed the next day), I haven't had an issue since getting it.

The first service was a couple of months ago where they:

- Changed the HVAC filter

- Changed the HEPA and carbon filter

- Checked the brakes, which were fine.

Aside from that, I've put on new windscreen wiper blades and a new set of tires.

The NASA example should highlight the normalisation of deviance. The Challenger o-rings had failed before and while engineers were very vocal about that, management overruled them. The foam impacts and tile loss were also a known factor in the Columbia disaster but the abort window is very small. Both point to perverse incentives: maintaining the gravy train. One comment made the point earlier that if Cloudflare were more thorough they would not have captured the market because they would be slower. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast but YMMV. At the end of the day everything can be tracked down to a system that incentivizes wealth accumulation over capability with the fixation that capability can be bought which is a lie.

That was the entirety of the contribution. It was gloating. And there is a long history of this.

There's open source contributions, and then there's this.

Relatively neat article, although mostly just skipped to the Apple press release [1], since that's a lot of what the article was taken from.

[1] https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/11/mapping-the-future-wi...

However, the linked article notably did cover what type of titanium was used (X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing showed T6Al4V), the ferrochrome modification they're doing to improve the titanium for printing, and also some micrometer scale imagery of the finished parts talking about the crop-circle, chain-link fence surface finish result of the printing process.

Press release itself has some cool stuff. Another site linked [2] by them said it's Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB, or LPBF) additive manufacturing.

Notably though, it's a six laser head variety that appears from the movie available to print 60 parts at a time in an array. However, the cleaning video then shows what looks like 4 rows of 30 being rotated for cleaning. Possibly prints 120 since there were gaps between rows in the first printing video. Takes about 20 hours for a run with 900 layers.

[2] https://www.metal-am.com/apple-confirms-laser-based-additive...

With 38 million watches being shipped every year, that means they've got something like 1500-2000 laser sintering machines (60 per run) or 750-1000 (120 per run) running pretty much non-stop to put out that many watches. Suspicion is its maybe something like this printer from Hanbang United 3D Tech [2] since they're talking 50 micron particles and this goes 20μm-120μm.

[3] HBD 400, 6 laser LPBF Printer, https://en.hb3dp.com/product/49.html

The entire facility is apparently also solar / wind powered, although it's not clear if they're just doing financial cleverness to buy only on the wind / solar market, or if they've built their own solar / wind farm to support the facility.

Since a lot of this is still apparently happening in Shenzhen, suspicion is that they have probably worked out a deal with Shenzhen Energy Group to buy solar / wind credit energy specifically.

Not a primary customer from the watch perspective necessarily, yet the technology being moved to having large scale production of high quality parts made out of somewhat difficult and recycled materials for something other than 1-off prototyping is cool. Lots of neat engineering that can be done when you can manufacture 20um (or even 50um) features in parts over large bulk scales at rates of 38 million a year.

Not a user of this site but a lesson for all techies about changing something which is heavily in use. Don't expect people to take to it immediately and provide some way to allow people to gradually transition.

The site itself looks clean and loads fast but people are complaining that they can't easily find information they used to be able to.

Also, the price tag is eye watering!

> They want two adults [...] to rent separate single bedrooms

Then why do they even offer twin rooms?

Doorless bathrooms are not explained by saying hotels (that offer twin rooms) secretly want all twin room guests to pay double and use two single rooms. Most hotels don't even have very many single rooms!

It may be different in small places where there's only one or two hotels. But most cities have dozens to hundreds of hotels, not all owned by the same conglomerates. There is no way they'd miss out the entire twin-room market by pretending not to have them. And they certainly wouldn't take the reputational damage by pretending you'll get a normal twin room when you book, but hit you with a doorless bathroom twin room when you arrive. The booking website will have photos showing the typical room layout, in order to give prospective customers clarity about what they'd be booking, so they choose to book there.

I'm no hotel tycoon either, but the idea that it's a secret ruse to get people to pay double doesn't make any sense to me. The idea that they're blindly following some design trend, or that it lets them make the rooms physically smaller by giving the impression of a bigger room, are much more plausible ideas.

Making the assertion that damage can modify a belief system is one thing. That was well known long before this. Claiming that that damage makes people maga is quite a different thing.

Again there is 100 plus years of reputable scientists publishing claims trying to associate biological or medical conditions to racial or cultural things. All of them ideologically based and at the time it was widely supported. This appears no different. Do you want to justify your distaste and dislike for an ideology you don't agree with due to a medical cause. Makes it easier to say that they're not bad people and force them to get some sort of re-education. Does that sound familiar at all? It should maybe you should get it history degree.

Your logic doesn't really pan out here, as Zig is a fully open source project (so any backdoor would be out there for eyes to see) and so far there have been primarily good things said about it. Similarly Linus Torvalds was pretty "toxic" for years, and it never affected the quality of the Linux project negatively. And Linux essentially runs the world of tech.
