Built a local-first Kanban board with Tauri (Rust + Svelte) after getting frustrated with SaaS tools and basic offline options. Stores data in JSON files you control, full keyboard-first UX, parent/child tasks, release management, and it's blazingly fast with localStorage + background sync. No telemetry, purely local. Curious what others prioritize in personal task tools. Seems like there's a gap between "todo.txt" simplicity and Jira complexity.

Hey! I have been working on this Linux Priv Esc cheatsheet, which I think could be the best one on the internet : ) I know many Linux enthusiasts would enjoy some of the waky one liners and the security folks may find some value in the privilege escalation abuse paths I have documented. Would love for people to find value in this project like I have :3

Don't wanna be killjoy, but specifically since "sleek" and "native" is mentioned many times, I'd say that's not what one expects from a sleek macOS application to say the least.

I'd expect something like Cyberduck quality UI, as an example. The author should aim to mimic system UI in my opinion as closely as possible (or integrate inside Finder).

They will still be empty eventually. It might still become a stable situation though. If you look at pictures from North Korea the only person who doesn't look malnourished is Kim Jong Un. Otoh water is different from food. Also it's the middle east. They might have to cut back on their aggression but their antagonists (who by now is literally everyone) won't.

There's a thing going on in Australia with Melatonin. It's not OTC, it's a prescription thing. BUT doctors typically just tell people to buy online from America because it's much cheaper. So the TGA(Therapeutic Goods Administration) did some testing of what you can get online from America:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-29/tga-safety-concerns-o...

and are now recommending not to buy online because the doses are completely unregulated. They even reached out to companies like iHerb and asked them not to sell to Australians.

So, whatever dose you think you're taking, assume it's a bit of a guesstimate...

Yea almost no one is making Bay Area level TCs in either location aside from those directly relocated from the Bay or working in HFT at Citadel, Jane Street, or DE Shaw, but you will be able to make Germany or UK level TC (US$50k-110k) with the right track record and experience. Ofc, an equally large cohort will be earning low salaries in the $5k-15k range, but those are largely employed at WITCH or EPAM type companies which employers are trying to cut out of the loop.

Java modules offer strong(er) encapsulation and put the onus on the Java programs to explicitly declare, at compile-time and run-time, whether they need special access to APIs (i.e., packages and their classes) hidden in some specific modules. These special accesses can be declared at both compile and run times and, of course, must be documented along with the programs. However, at run time, you may still want to hide some APIs that are not (yet) in a module, and conversely, you may still want to access hidden APIs and inform the program users that they forgot to allow this access. You can do both in pure Java by having some fun with reflection!

My friend's main study that he cites is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209525462... . The interesting thing is that there is no real cutoff. The benefit kind of tapers off logarithmically, but all-cause mortality just gets lower and lower the more steps/day you take. So his 12k is somewhat arbitrary.

While this page comes close, I've always wished there was a structured wiki containing information about every known instance of playable "fan" romhacks/games which have had some public release (whether in development beta or complete) but were at some point shut down by Nintendo. Of course most of Nintendo's DCMAs shovelware, but there has been some really high quality work in the past that is too easily lost to time.

For steel you need iron ore and coal, which the UK has plenty of. It was heavily industrialized in the 19th century. It's not that different in terms of natural resources to Germany.

British cars could have remained competitive for a lot longer if labour relations had been like in Germany. Germany's organized labour is/was famously mild compared to the feral British unions that were run by open Marxists and did things like topple governments.

It depends on the goal, e.g. software like Maya is built for the world in which the amount of required work makes even average projects intractable if you're slow with your tools. Entire generations of actual masters of their craft have built their careers on being efficient with it.

Menus are also not slow by any measure, they're only needed for discoverability, can be navigated with the keyboard as well, and aren't that different from the menus many TUI apps have (e.g. Midnight Commander). Moreover, there are real novel ideas like Microsoft's ribbon, which basically combine vi-style input and discoverability. Hotkeys is just one way to drive a GUI app using the keyboard, out of many.
Show HN: AI Content Rewriter – one-line embeddable widget (open-source)
by ruchiclub | 2025-11-10 03:01:57+00:00
Last weekend I built a tiny AI widget: highlight any text on a page → "Rewrite with AI" button appears. One script tag, no backend.

Live demo (try it now): https://aivideosummary.com/widgets/widget-rewriter1.html

Use case: bloggers/devs who want quick rewriting without building auth/RAG.

Planning a series: summarizer, translator, etc.

Curious — do single-purpose AI widgets still have a future in 2025?

Citizens don't need to be aligned with eachother, but they should ensure that the government is aligned with the citizenry as a whole. Everyone should have the freedom to polarize in different directions and hold different opinions as each individual sees fit. The government is only supposed to implement the laws that most people want in common, not enforce alignment of opinion in the populace (that's an authoritarian regime). If people are allowed to freely misalign, then they'll be misaligned in different directions, and their conflicting wishes will cancel eachother out like random noise when they vote, leaving only what most people want in common to be written into law.

Additionally, some corporate or personal policies might prefer to NEVER use SSO, even if it is sometimes accepted. I hate being presented with option to login with email or login with Google, and I don't know which I signed up with.

God forbid I accidentally make an account with SSO and another with email but the same email. I'd rather just always use email, it's supposed to be a convenience, the advantages are lost when it goes south once

> Look at Taiwan out competing China in silicon foundaries.

it wont last long. even china dont use military to take taiwan, china will still win on this in the the end. It's just a matter of time. A lead of a few decades doesn't mean everything from the perspective of historical dimensions, it's still too short.

also, china will take taiwan in short times(less than 10 years), so the result wont change anyway. From a historical perspective, this is a normal means of transferring power and status.

It's more of an invisible feature than a protocol.

The signup protocol and user flow is the same if the feature is supported or not. You just skip a step if the convenience feature is supported.

With SSO the user is inconvenienced with an additional option at sign up and login, and there's the risk of duplicate accounts. Also stronger vendor lock in.

The LA/SoCal focus of this got me thinking what other places would have interesting and long history of Chinese takeout menu design... Toronto sprang to mind. Sure enough U of T has a large collection of menus they acquired in 2016.

A great many stiff serious people (in my opinion) are writing very discouraging comments here. Don’t let it get you down. The whole point of hacker culture is to break rules. If that’s what you enjoy then to hell with anyone else’s opinion. I think if you’re more worried about commit history being pristine than the experience of writing code and solving problems then you’ve missed the boat that makes the profession meaningful. Similarly, though, if writing lots of high quality commit messages is your idea of a fun weekend, then go do that and don’t listen to me, either.

That is what TPLink PR would like you to think.

The reality is the only part that matters, the chipsets, are produced in Chinese factories owned by TPLink.

They moved everything that doesn’t matter to the US recently in an effort to give the illusion that they aren’t putting chips manufactured under the control of the Chinese government into the majority of routers used in the US.

I’m not agreeing with banning them, but I can certainly see how it creates significant risks that I would want to mitigate somehow.

indian dude here, sorry to hear that. The way it gets talked over in local circles is that most people dont like the concept of minimum wage when they have to pay someone. The thing about most Indians is that they dont have clear distinct personal time vs professional time. Even if a boss asks them to make a presentation at 10 pm, they'll do it. They feel that people of other nationalities mostly developed countries would not put up with such workplace behavior. Unfortunately it is a race to the bottom on that one

Yes, the Bumble Berry Pi is a lot cheaper than the Hackberry Pi, but the Hackberry Pi (with a CM5) performs much better.

I don't have a 3D printer, so I bought the kit from Elecrow. I had to buy my own CM5, a 2TB NVMEe SSD, and a suitably sized WiFi antenna (that would fit into the case without modification). I also picked up a $60 portable (1k) HDMI monitor because the 720x720 screen is difficult to use for apps like Firefox and Thunderbird. I use an Apple wireless keyboard and an Acer wireless mouse (both Bluetooth). The keyboard & monitor fit nicely into a plastic A4 document jacket. I was surprised that the Hackberry's USB-A ports provide enough juice to power the monitor. The Hackberry Pi has got a big battery. The one Hackberry Pi design choice that I don't like is the lack of an RJ45 Ethernet port. They could have left off the I2C port and squeezed a PHY in there somehow. (The CM5 has an Ethernet controller.) I've noticed that if I use a USB-A Ethernet dongle, it sometimes hangs under heavy traffic. I've tried dongles with different chipsets and they all seem to have the same issue. The WiFi speeds (as long as you have a good antenna) are great, and are usually faster than a USB Ethernet dongle anyway.

The thing is ideal for travel. It can fit into any hotel room safe, or go with you.

I can't really agree. I mean you scroll 1 paragraph down and it says he worked a Google Deepmind, that's really all I'd need to see. I think the market is just super hard for new grads. I've heard from people that had to apply to hundreds of companies and do 20+ interviews to get something.

Totally agree that this guy could write books though.

On some level I always wonder if it'll be better for society if the next generation of bright young minds gets rejected from these tracked paths to big tech or finance and instead are forced to do creative new things. Of course I feel for them too, and losing one's identity at a useful cog in the labor market is a fate that is going to come for all of us soon.

A Civil 3D plugin (Genabler) that will include all the network catalogs and collate the Civil 3D styles for civil engineers to use. There are some out-of-the-box catalogs and styles shipped with the default installation, but they are quite limited and fairly well hidden—which is not surprising, given that Civil 3D is a huge beast. As a result, they are not commonly used.

When people think about Civil 3D, they often assume it requires BIM modelers (in a sense, just glorified drafters) to create all the necessary catalogs and styles, and to assist with their use.

My Civil 3D plugin will:

1. Make standard, market-compliant catalogs and polished styles available to engineers at large. Think of it as the WordPress theme provider equivalent.

2. Make the entire process easy and painless through the plugin, with prominent buttons for quick access.

If the plugin is done well, there will be less need for BIM modelers, since for a fee, engineers could simply purchase catalogs and styles that are so easy to use they require no technical training.

As a side benefit, I also get to explore how LLMs can help me write code. It has been a while since I last updated my AI usage policy [0], and I look forward to revisiting it.

If it's obviously useful then people shouldn't need to be prodded into using it. Maybe there are actual downsides to rushing through everything with AI, maybe people can't actually work on the hard things 100% of the time.

I just don't understand this need to rush, software already moves fast without AI tools. Software developers already make a lot of money for their companies that their salaries are easily covered. Realistically people could develop software 10x slower than now and the world would still keep progressing.

And what about this is novel over how Xbox and PlayStation handle things?

Xbox has been permanently banning consoles from online, like Nintendo, for a decade and a half. Anyone remember the 2009 mega ban wave? One million Xboxes permanently banned simultaneously and Nintendo is somehow uniquely evil with the Switch 2 and we’ve never seen anything like this. Malarkey.

Apparently the highest oil pipeline throughput (Druzhba) is 1.4 million barrels per day, which amounts to some 2000 liters per second. That would be 20 liters/person/day - kinda maybe enough to move the needle, but not quite. Building this sort of pipeline today is about $1-2M per km on flat land. I'm not aware of comparable pipelines in the mountains.

Then, desalination requires energy, and Iran already faces blackouts here and there, there just isn't much spare capacity.

> 1. This author’s writing is extremely, uncommonly good.

> 2. His resume is designed poorly… This is the world of TikTok and Instagram reels

Imo this is exactly the problem. We’ve constructed a system where brilliance doesn’t shine through. The idea that someone as thoughtful as OP needs to tiktokify their resume to even have a chance at getting hired is ridiculous.

I’m young, so I have no clue, but surely the job market didn’t always work like this?

This should be fixed. I expanded out the input to include pretty much everything that's reasonable, and allow for : or periods. I used Logos pretty heavily so have gotten used to periods for notation.

I always feel a bit conflicted when I read these experience from new grads: on the one hand, there's no question the job market today is not the one they signed up for; on the other, the expectation of recent grads is completely alien to me as someone who entered the job market in the shadow of the dotcom bust.

The biggest thing that seems foreign to me is the expectation that "I'm a fit for the job, I should therefore get the job". When I entered the workforce every job was a competition.

The process was the companies would post a job, and then collect resumes until they felt they had a sufficient number of candidates to proceed (or some arbitrary deadline was reached). If you were the only good candidate, it was very common that they would feel there wasn't enough competition and would simply restart the search. This process could easily take months. Then, if there were enough qualified candidates, you would get the interview but you would always be competing with 3-5 other people that the company felt where roughly equal matches.

I had worked part-time (not purely interned) in my field for 3 years, so had plenty of experience at the entry level. Even then competition was stiff, and an interviewer simply not vibing with you was enough to lose a job.

I vividly recall having my target pay set at 2x minimum wage, eating canned stew because that's all I could afford and about to lower my standards when I finally got a call back after months of searching. So as a new grad with reasonably similar qualifications to the author, I was pumped to be making 2x minimum wage out of college.

And at the time none of my classmates considered it to be a challenging job market.

Flash-forward a few years and my younger siblings faced the GFC, I knew of tons and tons of really bright new grads that simply couldn't get work for years. I was shocked that most of them didn't complain too much and where more than willing to suck up to corporate America as soon as a job was offered (I personally thought a bit more resistance was in order).

I'm not sure I really have a point other than to emphasize how truly bizarre the last decade has been where passing leetcode basically meant a 6 figure salary out of undergrad. I'm typically a doomer, but honestly I think it's hard to disambiguate what part of this job market is truly terrible and what part is people who have spend most of their lives living in unprecedentedly prosperous times.

Ha! I practice good commit hygiene---even when no one's paying me---because it's useful to my future self, but I don't think pride in one's work (especially through importing workplace best practices) is a great reason, especially not a normative one. I think this is like the proverbial carpenter finishing the back of a drawer though no one will see it. It's done for the carpenter's sake, out of principle or mundane Calvinism, and I wouldn't begrudge a carpenter who didn't. And the latter might sell more furniture.

People worried about routers, meanwhile nearly every damn employee at Intel from the CEO to the janitor is Chinese.

The Intel ME chip is running its own OS on every single Intel chipset, even when the computer or laptop is shut down, and accessible directly through attached Intel WiFi or network cards. With full memory access, with no way to turn it off.

Not just PPP.

It's nominal GDP per capita was above Taiwan, Turkiye, South Korea, and all of Eastern Europe.

If the stuff that happened to Iran in our timeline didn't happened in the 1980s-2000s, it probably could have seen an economic boom comparable to what SK and Taiwan saw in the 1990s - especially becuase the leadership in 1980s South Korea and Taiwan were equally as authoritarian as that in Iran back then.

Other similar losers from that era were the DRC, Syria (before the civil war it was roughly on par with Turkiye), the Ivory Coast (it was France's premier financial hub in Franafrique before the civil war), and Pakistan (it's GDP per capita was significantly above China's until the 1990s, and Pakistani advisors helped industrialize significant portions of the Gulf).
