I don’t think that person is right. If you’re price sensitive and don’t just look at the default [combo] prices then Taco Bell is still elite and known for giving you cheap ways to get calories.

They always have a combo that’s cheap and rotates monthly. And like you said they have a few cheap value food like Bean and rice burrito which is also one of my staples.

Also you’re supposed to use the apps if you’re price sensitive. I work outside all day and couch surf without access to a kitchen. I never look at the actual menu of any place if there’s an app available. Apps also let you see prices between different locations.

However almost everyone I see go to any place in the real world is always buying stuff just looking at the default menu prices.

As a bright student who was never challenged in K-12, I can unequivocally state that this ultimately hurt me in the long run. I seriously didn't know how to study and didn't care to try learning when I actually needed it in some of my undergrad courses.

For example, when I took trigonometry in high school I did none of the homework, showed up to the tests and aced them. That led me to getting a C in that class (kindly the teacher advanced me to pre-calc, but forced me to retake trig as well). That's basically the attitude I had throughout high school and undergrad. I'm positive I could have amounted to more earlier in life (only years later did I return to academia to earn my PhD in CS after tiring of industry).

> You've never seen a kid buy condoms because mom and dad are lazy?

Not that I can think of, and I’ve worked retail. I’m assuming that ‘lazy parents’ have been buying condoms and lube online for a long time now given the selection and price points available. Like you can get a hundred pack for ~$20 which is way cheaper than what you’d get at a gas station.

>Surely you’ve seen a person lose weight before.

Never a single one who did it sustainably and never regained weight in 5-10 years. Just because yes, metabolism stays crippled, endocrinal consequences of obesity never go away, and fat cells stay ready to be re-filled with fat at the first opportunity. Keeping weight down after losing it requires a lot more effort than staying in the same weight for someone who was never obese, and the more you lost, the bigger the difference. It's cruel and above all, unrealistic to expect a significant proportion of people who are already obese, to do it - and trying it will cause highly undesirable consequences on population level (these people will just be persistently angry for being acutely hungry for the rest of their lives - imagine what the election results will turn to be).

>Also, exercise is helpful, not for weight, but for general health.

True. At least before the "gym pill" wins marketing authorisation.

>My point isn’t that we shouldn’t have any medications for people who need it, it’s that we shouldn’t just give up and say we need to medicate an entire population, because it’s the only option.

On a population level, it absolutely is. Sure, we should encourage people to eat healthy and educate them, and try to do so ourselves, but we shouldn't expect it to work, simply because we know it won't. Masses will always go for the easiest, least-effort option, if it wasn't the case, we'd have communism - the good, "classless and stateless" one - by 1980 already as originally promised. It only didn't happen because people are not perfect. It's foolish to expect them to be and act surprised when it doesn't happen.

Simply put, diets and gym, on a population level = wishful thinking, discrimination and waste of time; GLP-1 on a population level = actual solution. And yes, in the next generation food habits improve naturally just because with much fewer people stuffing themselves with shit around (because they will be on GLP-1), it will look weird to do so, obesity will just become de-normalised and much fewer people will overeat just as much fewer people start to smoke now even if they are not at all concerned with their health or aware of consequences: when no one around smokes, you don't smoke, too.

> But I do think its possible to get good socialization exposure while homeschooling.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

As person who was homeschooled in a large homeschooling community, no, I now believe at a fundamental level that not only is it not possible to adequately difference homeschooled children, it very much defeats the updated-but- always it is not possible to "get good socialization". There are two issues: the gross tonnage of exposure to other people is just not possible in homeschooling, and, there's a fundamental difference between the kinds of socialization.

I believe there is value in being forced into socializing with people you may not like. I did not experience what one might call "involuntary socialization" until my first job out of college. It took me a very long time to learn how to exist comfortably in a world where not everyone would agree with me, like me, see me as an equal, or treat me with respect.

In institutional education environments and in jobs, you don't get a choice who you have around you. You have to learn how to deal with that. Taking the kids to karate class doesn't teach them that because most everyone at karate class wants to be there.

Any voluntary socialization arrangement is--by definition--a self-selection into a group with at least one point of commonality: you are so there for the thing, the activity.

Involuntary socialization arrangements expose you to others where your overlapping demographic is nothing more than just geographic circumstance. Many people don't learn how to deal with that in public schools: it's where antisocial behavior comes from. But *every" homeschooled kid will miss that lesson completely.

> I'm speculating here but I'm pretty sure if you did an MRI on my brain you'd see lesions from the mixing of mdma and sertraline (I get myoclonic jerks to this day).

Could you speak more to this? A family member was recently diagnosed with myoclonic jerks without a clear root cause, so treatment has been hit or miss so far. I’m trying to learn what I can to help inform them.

React made immutability patterns more relevant which increased discussion of it. Some people did get preachy about it. Yet dismissing immutability entirely just because of that misses the entire point of why it's actually useful in managing complex state.

Have you ever thought about instead of having emotional reaction to obnoxious gatekeeping to learn about actual benefits of immutability?

I recently setup a little blog on tilde.club. They had a built I blogging tool in the CLI, but I wasn’t a huge fan. It gives some hosting space as well and supports php, so I vibe coded a little something that lets me throw markdown files with a date as the file name into a folder. Once created, it posts to the blog. Right now it’s just one long running page (and individual posts can be viewed/linked). I’m debating between adding an archive or just only showing a certain number of posts and letting them age out (unless linking to the specific post). I also have php generating an RSS feed based on the markdown files, so they just works without any fuss.

Of course my biggest issue is that I have started and deleted more blogs than I can count, so I don’t have any useful history, like I would if I would have stuck with one thing for the last 20 years.

Qualcomm could've become "the Intel of the ARM PC" if they wanted to, but I suspect they see no problem with (and perhaps have a vested interest in) proprietary closed systems given how they've been doing with their smartphone SoCs.

Unfortunately, even Intel is moving in that direction whenever they're trying to be "legacy free", but I wonder if that's also because they're trying to emulate the success of smartphone SoC vendors.

I doubt anyone of the past or present could fully describe what a matrix is, and what its multiplication is. There are many ways people looked at it so far - as a spatial transformation, dot products and so on. I don't think the description is complete in any significant way.

That's because we don't fully understand what a number is and what a multiplication is. We defined -x and 1/x as inverses (additive and multiplicative), but what is -1/x ? Let's consider them as operations. Apply any one of them on any other of them, you get the third one. Thus they occupy peer status. But we hardly ever talked about -1/x.

The mathematical inquisition is in its infancy.
ShowHN: RepoScout – A multi-platform Git repo search tool in Rust
by shreeshjha | 2025-11-22 07:26:33+00:00
Hello HN,

One day, my friend and I just got an idea: we needed a simple, fast utility that could search across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket simultaneously from the terminal. The continuous context-switching between web UIs, browser searches, and our editor was a constant friction point, so we decided to build a dedicated TUI application for repository discovery.

We chose Rust for the performance and robustness, making this our first significant project with the language. The result is RepoScout, a fully keyboard-driven Terminal User Interface (TUI) built on the ratatui framework.

Here is a clear statement of what the project does: RepoScout allows users to search, analyze, and manage repositories across multiple Git platforms without leaving their terminal.

Technical Details & Implementation

We struggled and learned a lot while implementing these core technical components:

- Vector Search (Work In Progress): This was the most complex technical challenge. Our goal was to let users find projects by use case (e.g., "low-latency logging library for Rust") rather than exact keywords. The current solution involves generating repository embeddings using open-source models (fastembed) and performing vector similarity lookups using the usearch library. It is still rough, but we are working to refine the results.

- Asynchronous Backend: The entire search pipeline runs on an asynchronous backend built with the tokio runtime, handling multiple API calls and background tasks (like fetching dependencies) concurrently.

- Repository Analysis: We implemented a "Health Score" algorithm to generate a factual 0-100 rating based on project maintenance activity, age, and community metrics.

- Offline Performance: All results, search history, and fetched content are persisted in a local SQLite database, which utilizes FTS5 for fast fuzzy searching, ensuring the tool works even offline.

- Dependency Inspection: The TUI previews include the ability to inspect package dependencies (Cargo, npm, PyPI, Go, etc.) for over 13 ecosystems.

My friend and I are still learning the best practices for building command-line tooling in Rust. We would be sincerely grateful for any honest, technical critique, especially regarding the design of the asynchronous search pipeline and overall Rust architecture.

Thank you for checking out our simple attempt to build something useful.

The one who downvoted me obviously has a problem with high quality food.

Animals held and then sold for 4-5 EUR per kg is pure shit. Period. I would rather eat groceries instead.

Most people have no idea what high quality meet is because they buy their stuff always at large chains - remember: None of the sustainability-interested local farms sells to any of those supermarkt chains. You have to GO there to get your stuff.

Such animals you can also eat without having remorse.

It depends on what you are doing.

If you are working on an application that has several services (database, local stack, etc.) as docker containers, those can take up more memory. Especially if you have large databases or many JVM services, and are running other things like an IDE with debugging, profiling, and other things.

Likewise, if you are using many local AI models at the same time, or some larger models, then that can eat into the memory.

I've not done any 3D work or video editing, but those are likely to use a lot of memory.

Sorry, I don't mean to second-guess your choices. There's clearly some very interesting issues here, and my experience is as someone who never felt they had any serious issues with mental health. But I do think that we have this culture where everyone is expected to be OK all the time. Do you worry at all that your son cues in to his parents relationship with the drug? I mean, say it was me, and I knew my parents took a pill so that they could "have a good day" but they didn't give me the have-a-good-day pill. I would think (perhaps subconsciously) that if I was having a bad day the drug could have made it into a good one. Having a bad day would be medical now, a reason to feel like you're sick or broken.

It is interesting to me that something like this can have such a high value. It speaks meanly for the our shared cultural global connection when it comes to items like these. For what purpose other than saying: “I have a …” would you buy this? Or is it the believe the price only goes up and it gets bought as an investment? I mean specifically this item with this high price. I ask because I think the price is only as high if the item in question is still cultural relevant. So I assume you buy it and start shadow produce new Superman projects :)

It remains legal to provide drugs off-label because physicians sometimes know better than federal regulators

It's horrible that A-Z would illegally market drugs for off-label uses -- I would not disagree for a minute with your reasoning! -- but we retain this "escape hatch" because it is important to patient health

without the off-label "escape hatch," we would not have, for example, the glp-1 class of anti-obesity drugs, or, buproprion for smoking cessation, the most effective drug ever found in its area.

We needed doctors working firsthand with patients, and building "anecdotal" (i.e. case-based) evidence to learn things that really matter on a population level

If you knew the expected number of features , any input file with >100 should be discarded as bad input and you failback to the last good feature file received. This would have protected your service even though you are unable to get the newly populated features. I believe these features are not updated that frequently. Even if they were, you would have biased your system towards availability vs 'correctness'.

What were the teams doing between 11 to 1300 hrs , no explanation of what investigations were going on to not being able to figure the root cause.

$100k/year, and ya, public orgs non-profits that get the money aren’t very efficient. What is worse is that much of that money goes to chronic cases with drug addiction and mental illness, the people who are just struggling to pay rent (much cheaper than $100k/year) and wind up living in their car often get ignored until they become chronic cases that are no longer easy to help.

That's not true. Mass/quantity can still resist/delay/push back until you're exhausted and done.

We're not anymore in the swords vs guns era. We're talking about hypersonic missiles vs super intelligent hypersonic missiles. Still, all it takes is 1 dumb missile to pass through the defenses and an entire city can be wiped off. At the end of the day, they don't care if a missiles didn't reach the precise target. As you can see in Ukraine, Russia is bombing all types of buildings, they don't give a damn about schools, kindergarten or so.

The tech component is not everything.

If you get rid of the scare quotes, you can spend 10x or 100x as long as your doctor when researching something specific enough. That has many advantages, even without the training.

I opened with a rhetorical question, not an insult. The answer is obviously "the same as I consumed before it was legalized" - presumably zero fentanyl use for you whether it's legal or illegal. I was not implying you do fentanyl lol. I was implying your decision not to do fentanyl has nothing to do with it being illegal.

If you search on Google Flights, the seat pitch is clearly displayed, or you can use third party tools like Seatmaps.

> These were by far one of the most time intensive art assets to make for this project but I’m happy with the results.

> This was another time intensive task but I’m happy with how they turned out.

I kind of read past these comments (and a couple other similar ones) at first but looking back I realized how nice it is to read something like this. It's like, yep, I did something that was kind of hard and took a while, but it was worth it because I feel like I did a good job. I feel like this is something that's sadly getting replaced by "Well, this isn't the greatest because AI did it for me, but who cares, at least it was quick."

Fun article!

While this work is great, this will not directly lead to "sharper MRI scans". This is about better modelling of NMR signals, which may eventually lead to better MRI, but it is still pretty far away from imaging. If you want how we use simpler signal models in physics-based reconstruction to improve MR images, you can look at our paper: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2020.0196

Did your incident response team look at the last few changes that were executed? If they had , they could have just rolleback the change. or just looking at the changes executed, in the vicinity of the start of the outage could have pointed to the problem.

Didn't the services that were crashing due to OOM raise any alerts?

This is shitty at so many levels.

You're forgiven, but not correct re: me being under-qualified to comment. I have interacted with union shops and non-union shops and have 25 years of professional experience, so please don't be dismissive.

I've worked with union shops as clients and I've hit a surprising amount of friction due to things which seemed union related. Things like "that's not my job and we need XYZ to do it" and what seemed like people slacking at their job from the outside. I once needed a desk moved a few feet which required a power strip to be plugged into a different wall outlet, and was told we need to wait for the electricians. Risking the wrath and fallout, I did it myself.

I've also seen this kind of behavior at non-union shops, but it was less explicitly stated and it was relatively easy to do something about it.

I'm sure you're correct about the quality of life at union shops.

I ask because I think the price is only as high if the item in question is still cultural relevant.

Les Poseuses Ensemble by Georges Seurat was sold for $149m. Very few people have heard of it, care about it, or even like it considering it's pointillism which no one buys modern versions of. The world of art and collectables is entirely rich people speculating that the price (not value) will go up in the future.

Linked on the same page is the announcement for matter 1.5

In Case you missed it, https://csa-iot.org/newsroom/matter-1-5-introduces-cameras-c...

> Matter 1.5 introduces one of the most anticipated additions to the specification: cameras. Developers can now build and certify cameras that interoperate directly with Matter-enabled ecosystems, without the need for custom APIs or integrations.

> Matter cameras support live video and audio streaming using established WebRTC technology, enabling two-way communication and both local and remote access via standard STUN and TURN protocols. The specification also defines support for multi-stream configurations, pan-tilt-zoom controls, detection and privacy zones, and flexible storage options, including continuous or event-based recording to local or cloud destinations.

You might as well put a pause on any new IP camera purchase for now until these hit the market.

Peers in what sense? There are clearly examples of kids that are both erudite many years beyond their age and kids that excel in technical subjects well beyond their years. Clearly a distribution exists and it’s wider than +/- a few years even if that covers 1 or even 2 standard deviations.

For what it’s worth I’ve even met adults who can’t regulate and control their emotional reactions. They often have a prison background which either caused it or why they ended up in prison.

This is demonstrably false given the election result in 2016. Donald Trump was absolutely the anti-elite candidate with all of the establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle denouncing him as a candidate and calling his supporters fascists. His election was a national shock.

That's quite recent. There was some time after AWS started charging for ipv4 addresses where you could not realistically go for an ipv6 only setup behind Cloudfront because it would for example not connect to a v6 only origin.

This is probably a result of all AWS services being independent teams with their own release schedule. But it would have made sense for AWS to coordinate this better.

For anyone reading this the following context would be helpful:

1. Home schooling does not necessarily (and in most cases) does not mean a kid learning at home with parents. It only means parents have arranged for adequen learning through alternative means.

2. In many cases, multiple parents and their kids come together and take responsibility of their kids education. They may rent spaces, they may hire teachers and so on.

3. In many cases you have to satisfy government penpushers that you are doing a good job of this.

I kind of feel that using examples where idempotent keys are implemented in a SAAS in a engine is side stepping the issue not because NIH (it’s the right thing to do) but it glosses over the complexity of implementing idempotency for the part you need to yourself , and I’ll bet most people have a kinda promise to be idempotent unless edge case
