> Yeah, I brought up the screens because the FHD screens are not good and there's a chance you might end up with a SureView screen.

I actually prefer the SureView to the regular one for code / office work because it's much brighter and usable outside in the summer if there's shade. The other one needs to be at least at 80% brightness inside to be usable. Then again, it's OK in the dark, so YMMV.

> I'm not a designer or someone who can speak to color quality/contrast/etc, though.

Right, but those panels are quite bad, so I think it's good you've advised people to steer clear of them. Then again, some people don't care, so they could save a buck or two. Lower resolution is also easier to deal with for people still running X11 and multiple screens.

> I buy them on the consumer side when there's a >60% off sale [...] you can find recent ones for a few hundred bucks with HP support for a year or more.

Huh, I dind't know they got so low even relatively new. I was looking for some sff desktops on ebay the other day, and previous-gen ones weren't much cheaper than brand new current gens (I was looking in the EU).

I think for people who don't care about "great" screens but do care about Linux support these are a really great deal, especially if you don't expect to abuse them.

I'm generally very happy with my 845 G8, I only ever hear its fan when compiling. The only thing it's missing is thunderbolt, but AFAIK this wasn't available on AMD CPUs at all at the time.

You don't like him why? Because he manipulated the democracy if countries like the USA and Germany?

But whatever it seems to be but it doesn't seem to really bother you that he makes money thanks to you.

Good that having better Internet is more important than musk and whatever you don't like about him.

Just a reminder his 10.000 satellites destroying astronomy research is only used by 9 million people right now.

And apparently often enough by people who actually have Internet and prefer better Internet despite criticism this Nazi saluting in human drugy.

> God destroyed it

Where does it say that? I have never read any Book of Genesis that says "God destroyed the tower".

Also it doesn't say "God was afraid". God doesn't have negative emotions like that. God plans out everything, so He is not "afraid" in the human sense.

In fact, I am fairly certain that the mythical "Tower" for the Jews was sort of a parody of the Pyramids of Egypt and the Ziggurats of Mesopotamia. They were essentially mocking their ancient neighbors in the Levant for such a frivolous project that they believed really didn't honor God, but increased their arrogance and hubris.

In fact, the Sumerians worshipped a god named "Sin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin_(mythology) and it is believed that the "plain of Shinar" and the "wilderness of Sin" are cognate with this term, and therefore represents the ancient deity that was worshipped in that particular case.

For Egypt, the pyramids were funerary monuments, i.e. they invariably honored some dead Pharaoh. The Jews invested their engineering progress in building a temple of the Living God instead.

So it stands to reason, in the Hebrews' account of the foreign projects, that immigrants would come in, mess up the project enough, and they would kinda abandon them in progress. But they weren't destroyed.

Micro plastics pollution is a relatively new problem and thus many direct and indirect effects are not yet fully understood. Moving emissions from CO2 (gas) to micro particles (solid), means emissions will be deposited more local to roads. Moving emissions from 'big oil' installations to the road, means more local emissions/deposits nearer to your home and backyard.

Additionally, due to the fourth power law [0], you only need 20% weight increase to obtain a 2x road wear. Asphalt/concrete production is also accompanied with substantial emission, although progress is made to reduce it [1].

Is there a break-even for weight vs emission reduction? And if so, is it somewhere between personal and cargo vehicles or is it 'EV always better'?

Are we trading 'well-known and bad for global environment'-emission for 'poorly-understood and possibly very bad for local environment on a global scale'-emission?

Of course, with the available information EVs seem to be the better solution, but it should not prevent us from researching/solving unknown effects or being careful choosing a single solution on such a large scale.

You can expose Unikernel application metrics in Prometheus text exposition format at `/metrics` http page and collect them with Prometheus or any other collector, which can scrape Prometheus-compatible targets. Alternatively, you can push metrics from the Unikernel to the centralized database for metrics for further investigation. Both pull-based and push-based metrics' collection is supported by popular client libraries for metrics such as https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/metrics .

You can emit logs by the Unikernel app and send them to a centralized database for logs via syslog protocol (or any other protocol) for further analysis. See, for example, how to set up collect ing logs via syslog protocol at VictoriaLogs - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion...

You can expose various debug endpoints via http at the Unikernel application for debugging assistance. For example, if the application is written in Go, it is recommended exposing endpoints for collecting CPU, memory and goroutines profiles from the running application.

> The real translator touch comes about when their is some nuance to the language.

And as we all know legal language is famous for having no nuance whatsoever, there are no opaque technical terms with hundreds of years of history behind their usage, there is no difference between the legal systems of different countries, and there is no possible difference in case law or the practicalities of legal enforcement. /sarcasm

What is clear to me that in a situation like this neither AI translation nor human translation is sufficient. What the imagined American signing an important legal document in the Czech Republic needs is a lawyer practicing in the Czech Republic who speaks a language the imagined American also speaks.

Yes, I do, but it's not going to prevent me from doing so.

I believe that the current generation of GenAI (as a market, not necessarily as a tech) is going to crash and burn by 2027. I also believe that open-source will stay and will keep helping people and that, as the world becomes more lawless and free-for-all, we'll need all the help we can find.

> This doesn’t mean that the authors of that paper are bad people!

> We should distinguish the person from the deed. We all know good people who do bad things

> They were just in situations where it was easier to do the bad thing than the good thing

I can't believe I just read that. What's the bar for a bad person if you haven't passed it at "it was simply easier to do the bad thing?"

In this case, it seems not owning up to the issues is the bad part. That's a choice they made. Actually, multiple choices at different times, it seems. If you keep choosing the easy path instead of the path that is right for those that depend on you, it's easier for me to just label you a bad person.

You’d need to be able to replicate whatever configuration the ISP provided device has, and they won’t give you that.

FTTH here in Australia is the same, you’re stuck using the network providers device, which just provides an Ethernet port, and a POTS port if you’re in to that sort of thing, with your LAN device connected behind it.

There was fierce lobbying back in the day (shout out to Simon Hackett / Internode) for our national broadband network to be simple dark fibre and that ISPs could build on top of that to provide innovation and differentiation.

Instead what we got was a bunch of ISPs that resell the National Broadband Network’s expensive wholesale plans with little in the way of either differentiation or innovation.

Edit to add: what the sibling comments said too.

> There's certainly a lot to be said for humans needing to take better care of the planet. Co2 just gets a little too much attention for my taste.

GHG are a matter of life or death for hundreds of millions living in poverty in coastal areas or living from their own agriculture.

Of course you live in a 1st world country and it likely won't kill you, just cost you tons of money

It's not about "take better care of the planet", whatever you think that means

Some of these contradictions are fractal - i.e. contradictions all the way down :)
For example the independent Radio and TV isn't that independent actually but in practice is. Partially this is because of the insecurities of the times these institutions were setup in making people in power unsure about true independence - so they wanted a control mechanism. The end result is an institution that is deeply coupled into the government but that has at the same time to pretend to be independent to such a degree most people inside it just act that way and its output is sorta neutral except in very slight tonal shift ways and in some individual cases. instances that are very German-culturally local? This is very hard to explain correctly but easy to just explain it wrongly - Let me do that now and translate it to American.

Imagine an institution being dependent and biased in exactly the opposite way that fox news is independent and balanced. Imagine a government-independent institution where you join a controlling organ and after sworn in you are invited to 2 after-meetings at the same time. One invitation comes in a red letter the other in a blue letter. Yet everybody has to be independent because that is what it is supposed to be. Germans can be very very stubborn about that.

this is sorta incomplete and wrong but I think gets you the taste for the setup? If not complain in the replies :)

I don’t have fiber access, but at least for cable, my provider (formerly Kabel Deutschland, now Vodafone) allows me to put the modem/router into "modem only" mode, which then allows me to use my own router. Outside of Fritzbox (which is again a whole integrated thing; with questionable features) there aren’t many DOCSIS modems freely available, and the no-name china devices don’t seem much better than my Vodafone Box.

Looking at the pictures brought back the smell of sharpening a wooden pencel and resulted me in ordering a couple boxes of pencils. It has probably been 30 years since I have used a normal wooden pencil other than the odd usage here and there, have used the mechanical pencil I swiped from my mom back in 9th grade for all my pencil needs, I had a math teacher who required us to write in pencil and I only had pens. He was a great teacher, erased the board with the sleeve of tweed jacket and would be covered in chalk dust by the end of the day.

Being practical, and understanding the gamification of citation counts and research metrics today, instead of going for a replication study and trying to prove a negative, I'd instead go for contrarian research which shows a different result (or possibly excludes the original result; or possibly doesn't even if it does not confirm it).

These probably have bigger chance of being published as you are providing a "novel" result, instead of fighting the get-along culture (which is, honestly, present in the workplace as well). But ultimately, they are (research-wise! but not politically) harder to do because they possibly mean you have figured out an actual thing.

Not saying this is the "right" approach, but it might be a cheaper, more practical way to get a paper turned around.

Whether we can work this out in research in a proper way is linked to whether we can work this out everywhere else? How many times have you seen people tap each other on the back despite lousy performance and no results? It's just easier to switch private positions vs research positions, so you'll have more of them not afraid to highlight bad job, and well, there's this profit that needs to pay your salary too.

It would be helpful if we could avoid this kind of language that assumes (in this case) 'everyone knows that Orban is Russia's lapdog with an implication that if you don't know that then you're ... whatever. No, I'm not supporting Orban. I simply don't know enough in detail to comment. Perhaps you don't either. Better to describe what actually transpires (facts on the ground) and leave the generalization which inevitably depends in too many cases on one's private predilections. Popular public discussion in general is replete with this. Better to be aware that many of us have a tendency try to shoehorn factual observations into a handy emotive category which happens to appeal.

Well, you have a point but on the other side since about 20 years the Telekom does not even think about improving the internet connection in the place I live. At some point you're just fed up. To me it seems like they just do not care about providing a good service and even if they would now provide a good service I would be more willing to give my money someone else.
by lazide | 2026-01-25 10:37:43+00:00
The first part is absolutely not true.

As someone who has been in that situation before, ‘literal’ translation is not actually a thing. Words and phrases have different meanings between legal systems.

You need a certified translation from someone who is familiar with both legal systems or you’re going to have a very bad time.

Which I think you know from the second part of your statement.

Legal documents likely have much more impact than a random chat with a stranger.

EU GDP is about 2/3 US GDP. That’s a very significant difference. Per capita income is probably less important than average and median disposable income, which is much higher in the US and has an obvious impact on B2C companies.

FB was incubated in a single unified market before it really spread to the EU. It’s harder for companies to take off and reach tech giant reach with the much smaller individual markets in the EU.

It’s much harder to build a product that appeals to everyone from the Irish to the Bulgarians, and to advertise to them than it is to do the same for everyone in the US. And it’s not just the tech companies, the individual content creators on the platform have the same comparative problems.

This right here exposes the bullshittery about the reasons behind preventing sideloading on Android phones.

For Google everything is about protecting revenue, even when doing so exposes their users to real harm, and that's why they will not address the issue of copycat apps, poor practices on play store security or anything else that lowers the number of downloads on apps on play store. But, heaven forbid, I want to download an app that doesn't create revenue for them onto a phone I OWN, Google spends money lavishly.

The Internet cranks are right. Google is run by bean counters and all the invective the cranks heap on the Google leadership is entirely earned.
by samiv | 2026-01-25 10:39:38+00:00
I don't disagree with you and in fact I hope there were quicker ramifications. Any company that forgets their customers and assumes such arrogant self serving stance should get a proverbial slap in face rather sooner than later. Unfortunately our mechanism for serving that said slap in the face are rather limited and as a single consumer (or even as a single enterprise) serving that slap only serves to slap ourselves in the face in the process by inconveniencing ourselves given the lack of viable/drop in alternatives. This is why we need regulation to get the corporate greed in check.

I am sure you know this, but just in case:

Europe is a continent, with many disparate nations and cultures. This continent is not hostile towards Graphene users.

In Europe there is the European Union (EU), which also is comprised of many disparate nations and cultures but a subset of those comprising Europe.

I say the following as a staunch supporter of European integration and cooperation:

The EU is actively hostile towards any software with a state goal of safeguarding users right to privacy and security. That means GrapheneOS but also Signal, Matrix and more.

Show HN: Sara – Markdown-based requirements traceability tool written in Rust
by cledouarec | 2026-01-25 10:41:34+00:00
Throughout my career in embedded systems — automotive (ASPICE), medical, avionics, CMMI environments — I've seen teams struggle with the same problem: requirements traceability.
The options were always frustrating:

Expensive, heavy tools like DOORS that don't fit modern dev workflows
JIRA-based workarounds that slow everything down and integrate poorly with code

So I built SARA (Solution Architecture Requirements for Alignment): a CLI that treats architecture documents and requirements as a knowledge graph.
The core idea: your requirements are too important to be locked in proprietary systems. SARA uses plain Markdown + YAML frontmatter, which means:

Full Git workflows (branching, code review, versioning)
No vendor lock-in — switch tools anytime, your data stays readable
AI/LLM-ready format for automated analysis

Features:

Multi-repo support
Traceability queries (upstream/downstream)
Validation (broken refs, cycles, duplicates, orphans)
Coverage reports and traceability matrices

Coming soon: ADR support and MCP server for AI assistant integration.
Written in Rust. Free and open-source.
https://github.com/cledouarec/sara
Would love feedback from anyone who's dealt with requirements management pain.

I understand that it can feel like you're having to make the same point over and over (I certainly feel like that sometimes) but personally I'm more inclined to give the person the benefit of the doubt when it comes to good faith.

Out in the world there are common misconceptions which are propagated by vested interests and believed by many at first glance.

Having the opportunity to see those arguments, and rebuff them , (over and over again) is key to balancing the public discourse.

I agree, some argue in bad faith, that's going to be true in some cases. But I think most times it's honest misconceptions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose emulating Android apps on a non-Android system will have the same problem as trying to run them in an Android without Google Services or in a rooted phone, i.e., banking (and similar) apps detecting it and refusing to run?

Were it not for that, I would never have stopped using Huawei, IMO the best phone brand by a mile. But I'm too busy a person to depend on hacks and having to regularly find new workarounds to access my banks.

Telekom Speedports also have a modem only mode (the ones for non-fiber, dunno about the ones for fiber, but it looked like those are only modems and not a router as well). I don't make use of it since I manage the wifi for my family, but I do know it exists.

The amount of braking force needed to take a car of X weight from Y miles per hour to zero in a given amount of time is the same whether by friction brakes or regen brakes.

You can reduce the total braking force needed by extending the time, in which case aerodynamic forces and rolling resistance will contribute some more to the reduction in speed.

In an EV with one-pedal driving you can still stop quickly or slowly. In an ICE car you can stop slowly with more coasting or quickly with more braking force.

I don't see how the drivetrain is going to make a difference to the amount of braking needed to stop and thus force exerted on the tire. The added weight of most EVs would be the larger factor.

Yep, Pretti was a citizen. As was the Hmong person they detained in his underwear. Most of the people they detain aren’t criminals.

> People are obstructing armed immigration enforcement and expecting to come away unscathed.

It’s scary that people actually think like this. These types of unprincipled excuses for lawlessness and murder are how authoritarians get into power. It might have been more excusable in the past but not today when the videos show the murder for the whole world to see.

So you made a bad assumption.

I'm pretty sure you're the same guy I told I'm for completely open borders, but somehow you got it in your head I'm trying to make excuses for ICE. I'm also of the opinion that the second amendment also applies to illegal immigrants, though the courts generally don't agree with this. But you decided I said some things you consider "right wing" earlier so I must agree with whatever Trump's Gestapo is doing.

The truth is, I couldn't even wrap my head around why they were even arresting the guy, because I couldn't understand why they were going after someone with a permit, which usually requires legal status. My interest relates to the fact that if the federal courts in his jurisdiction didn't agree out of status had 2A rights, and he had a valid permit and legally owned a gun, it should establish he shouldn't be of interest to ICE.

The discussion on this thread has actually been fine, apart from one account that has been all over the place repeating absolute nonsense (consistent with their overall recent post history on political topics). Most of their posts have already been flagged, and much of the resulting noise could have been avoided by rate limiting them. So I’m not sure that this particular discussion really proves your point (though it is only one example).

Provocative political articles about the UK seem more likely to escape flagging, which has the strange consequence that HN sometimes seems to spend more energy decrying the current state of the UK than that of the US, despite the relative imbalance in user numbers.

Recently I've noticed that the subtitles on TV shows have become garbage. Often the translations makes no sense in the context of what is happening, but are literal translations of what is being said on screen. I assume it's some kind of AI translation, but who knows. Maybe the translator is just stupid.

To be clear, we had bad subtitles before as well, but that was due to the translators lack of cultural understanding. Most of it made sense at least. Now it's just straight up bad and often makes no sense. Sad!
